Time flowed like a white steed passing through a crack in the clouds.
In the blink of an eye, five more years had gone by.
Jiang Yan and the other geniuses had now spent a full thirty years in Chaos City.
On the eleventh floor of the tower, Jiang Yan's Earth body lay lazily, his head resting on Red Kite's slender thighs. He let out a soft sigh.
"Fully comprehending a law… is far more difficult than I imagined."
Red Kite glanced down at him calmly.
"If you had chosen a Lower Law, you would already be done."
She wasn't wrong.
Jiang Yan had chosen the Law of Space, one of the two Upper Laws—a path thousands of times harder than fully mastering any subordinate law.
Even Red Kite herself, an Invincible King, had been trapped at this threshold for ages.
To advance from Invincible King to Universe Venerable, one had to:
Fully comprehend the Law of SpacePerfectly integrate its three supreme mysteries
This step alone had halted countless geniuses.
Red Kite.
King Zhenyan.
King Black Mist.
King Jade.
All of them had been stuck here for untold years.
And Jiang Yan?
He had only cultivated for thirty years.
"If I chose a subordinate law," Jiang Yan chuckled,
"there would be no challenge at all."
He opened his personal panel.
[Name: Jiang Yan]

In five years, Jiang Yan had pushed the Law of Space from just over thirty to more than sixty.
More importantly—
He had fully mastered the second supreme mystery of space.
Space Strangulation.
Only the final mystery remained.
Space Blockade.
With Jiang Yan's guidance, the Star Illusion King had already mastered all three spatial mysteries, advancing from a peak king to the threshold of invincibility.
She was now only one step away from the twentieth floor of the Tongtian Bridge.
Yet even so, she still fell short.
Invincible Kings were not something one crossed casually.
Red Kite herself had spent hundreds of years after mastering the three mysteries before finally breaking through the twentieth floor.
"How long do you think I'll need to fully comprehend space?" Jiang Yan asked casually.
Red Kite pondered for a moment.
"After mastering Space Blockade, you still need to perfectly fuse all three mysteries. Only then can it be considered complete."
"With your talent… around five hundred years."
Five hundred years.
For an Upper Law.
That estimate was terrifyingly short.
In comparison, Luo Feng in the original timeline needed eighty thousand years to fully comprehend the Law of Gold.
Not eight years.
Eighty thousand.
"Five hundred years…" Jiang Yan smiled faintly.
"That's acceptable."
Red Kite looked at him seriously.
"Master Space Blockade as soon as possible. Once you do, begin fusing the three mysteries."
"When that happens… I'll be able to take the final step as well."
She knew better than anyone—
With Jiang Yan's assistance, what would normally take epochs could be shortened to mere centuries.
"I'll do my best," Jiang Yan replied.
He stood up, lifted Red Kite effortlessly, and carried her toward the inner chamber.
It was time to "exchange cultivation insights."
As the Immortal chapters of his three supreme techniques approached completion—especially the Demonic Hidden God-Slaying Scripture—his true combat power had already surpassed Red Kite's.
One month ago, Jiang Yan had fought her using only his Realm Master-level Demon-Slayer body.
He had won.
Red Kite had honored her promise.
And Jiang Yan had been… well rewarded.
"Come out! All of you—come out!"
A voice suddenly echoed across Chaos City.
Jiang Yan paused.
"…Thirty years are up. It's Venerable Nine Swords."
Red Kite laughed softly.
"Go."
Across Chaos City, countless figures emerged from seclusion.
Jiang Yan reunited with Ai Chen, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor.
"Let's go," Jiang Yan said calmly.
They transformed into streaks of light, flying toward the assembly point.
Above Chaos City, a dark-blue fish-shaped battleship, thousands of meters long, hovered in the sky.
Over a hundred Immortal Gods stood waiting.
The hatch opened.
A man in a blue battle robe, scales glimmering faintly on his forehead, stepped forward.
Venerable Nine Swords.
"Greetings, Your Holiness!"
The crowd bowed in unison.
Nine Swords nodded, his gaze instinctively locking onto Jiang Yan and his group.
This Genius War…
Had completely rewritten history.
Never before had so many geniuses been accepted as disciples by Universe Lords and Overlords in a single session.
"Your performances," Nine Swords said slowly,
"have been… impressive."
"Especially Jiang Yan."
He paused.
Then his tone turned cold.
"But the rest of you—have disappointed me."
A chilling pressure descended.
"In thirty years, from one thousand geniuses—nearly two hundred have died."
Dead silence.
"Chaos City is the safest place the human race can offer you," Nine Swords continued icily.
"And yet, nearly twenty percent of you still perished."
"You may remain here for ten more days."
"After that, you return to the primordial universe—where it is far more dangerous."
He waved his hand.
"Make good use of these ten days."
The assembly dispersed at once.
No one dared linger.
After everyone left, Nine Swords spoke quietly to an Immortal beside him.
"Watch Jiang Yan closely these last ten days."
"He will definitely go to the Tongtian Bridge."
Back at the cultivation residence.
"Thirty years…" Thor sighed.
"It feels like yesterday we left Earth."
Hong and Luo Feng nodded.
"In Chaos City, only thirty years passed," Ai Chen added softly.
"But outside… more than a hundred years."
Luo Feng laughed bitterly.
"I'm already the ancestor of the Luo family."
Thor grinned.
"Which one of us isn't?"
Jiang Yan smiled quietly.
On Earth, the Jiang clan now numbered tens of thousands.
Planetary level cultivation had become the norm.
And Earth itself—
Had fully entered the universe.
"Third brother," Thor said eagerly,
"you still have ten days. Why don't you finally challenge the Tongtian Bridge?"
Luo Feng nodded.
"And the Illusion Sea. The Immortal Altar. Primordial Tongtian Mountain."
"Points are multiplied tenfold during these thirty years. You won't get this chance again."
Jiang Yan smiled.
"Of course I'll go."
Points were hard to earn.
There was no reason to leave any behind.
Hong looked at him seriously.
"How many floors… do you think you can clear?"
Jiang Yan shook his head lightly.
"I don't know."
"I'll only find out… once I go."
But in his heart, he already knew.
At this moment—
He was already Invincible.
"Then hurry up," Thor laughed.
"Don't waste a second."
