"What's this?"

The Ancestral Empress's pupils contracted, looking utterly shocked.

"If I wasn't mistaken, this was a Law Core. In the primordial chaos of the universe, only outrageously good luck could land you one."

"But you actually had ten!"

Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow, "You've seen this thing before?"

The Ancestral Empress shook her head,

"I used to be only at the Emperor Realm in the Milky Way Galaxy, how would I have ever seen something this high-end?"

"I just heard my sister, the Time Empress, mention it once."

She knew exactly how rare and precious this thing was—just one of them could set the entire Cosmic Great Race into a frenzy.

Even the top-tier Cosmic Imperial Races would be drooling for this thing.

"To upgrade a Mythical Talent to Great Dao Level, you needed ten Law Cores. A Great Dao Level Talent is honestly terrifying."

"Human Emperor, are you really willing to use this thing on me?"

The Ancestral Empress's gaze burned straight through.

Xiao Ye took the remaining seventy Law Cores with a spatial attribute out from the System's space, tossed them to the Ancestral Empress, then waved his hand generously,

"What's ten? I've got seventy more."

"Every single Law Core, I'll give them all to you."

"!" The Ancestral Empress's pupils shook violently, clearly caught off guard by the favor.

"Ah, well, I can't really use this many anyway."

"This thing's so rare and precious, Human Emperor, you'd better keep them. Yun Bing and Yunxi are also spatial attribute cultivators, they need to have their Talents upgraded too."

Xiao Ye grinned, "Sister Yun Bing and Sister Yunxi have already finished upgrading their Talents. I gave them each another one thousand Law Cores as snacks."

"If you don't want these seventy Law Cores, then I'll just keep them myself."

He lifted his hand, about to put the Law Cores back into his pocket.

But the Ancestral Empress's expression instantly changed, and she hurriedly hugged the Law Cores tight with both hands, her beautiful eyes widening as she snapped,

"Seriously, Human Emperor, Yun Bing and Yunxi both got one thousand each, but you only gave me seventy?"

"That treatment gap is just too damn big!"

"Hmph! Human Emperor, these seventy are mine, don't even think about taking them back."

Xiao Ye was speechless but didn't stop her.

He watched as the Ancestral Empress put away the Law Cores right in front of him.

*Guess the Ancestral Empress just got jealous— even Divine Spirits competed for attention sometimes.*

The Ancestral Empress blushed under his gaze, pouting as she said,

"I'll keep them safe for you."

*If Xiao Ye hadn't seen how lightning-fast she stashed stuff, he almost would've believed her.*

Xiao Ye smiled indifferently, "I'll upgrade your Talent first. Afterward, I'll give you another thousand."

The Ancestral Empress was one of his most trustworthy Divine Spirit wives.

*The Ancestral Empress didn't crave affection too deeply, not like a human. She didn't need constant company from a man.*

*Take Liu Ya for instance—she wanted Xiao Ye to live with her, stay together, do daily life as a couple.*

*Liu Ya was human, with all that uniquely human emotion. Divine Spirits were different, they only needed company at specific times, that's all.*

*Day-to-day, Divine Spirits just didn't have that burning love for men.*

"You're really going to give me another thousand?"

The Ancestral Empress's mouth dropped so wide she could swallow an egg, blurting in disbelief,

"Where the hell did you get so many Law Cores? Did the old man give them to you?"

Xiao Ye shook his head.

He activated the Template Adjuster, Talent Upgrade Function.

The supreme power descended from the heavens, washing over the Ancestral Empress.

The ten Law Cores floating in midair transformed into the purest type of energy, merging straight into the Ancestral Empress's body.

The Ancestral Empress's whole being began to radiate a mysterious, supreme aura.

With her eyes closed, she gave off a faint sense of majesty and tranquility.

*Everything inside her—genes, DNA, very foundations and more—were undergoing an unprecedented metamorphosis.*

Meanwhile, outside, the Space Origin body of the Emperor Realm in the White Horse Star System emerged automatically from the cosmic void, its vast form trembling as it began to move toward the Ancestral Empress's location.

Far, far away, deep in the starry sky, a Great Dao Level Space Origin body awakened from its slumber, reviving amongst the stars.

A supreme current of Space Origin Power tore through space, merging into the Ancestral Empress.

The Ancestral Empress's Talent evolution finally broke through the insurmountable barrier and reached Great Dao Level.

She snapped open her eyes, radiating the inscrutable presence of a true Space Emperor.

With a simple gesture, she compressed the nearby Emperor Realm Space Origin body and brought it into her palm.

"The Space Origin body of the White Horse Star System— this one's mine."

"That's a pretty nice bonus."

The Ancestral Empress's lips curled into a smirk.

Xiao Ye could feel his own spatial Talent climbing yet again on top of its already Great Dao Level foundation.

He had achieved three breakthroughs in spatial Talent evolution so far.

Yun Bing, Yunxi, and the Ancestral Empress.

Each time one of their Talents evolved, Xiao Ye would get feedback, evolving his own Talent alongside them.

*Right now, Xiao Ye's spatial Talent was the absolute peak.*

He chuckled, "Your Majesty, how do you feel? How does Great Dao Level Talent stack up to Mythical Talent?"

The Ancestral Empress pondered,

"I'd say, it feels amazing."

"My foundation transformed again, with a massive increase all around."

"Upgrading my Talent also evolved and strengthened my core foundations."

"Foundation and roots— those are what decide whether I can walk far on my path."

Xiao Ye nodded and took the Ancestral Empress's hand, bringing her to a spot in the Beast Hunting Star Domain overflowing with spatial energy.

This planet was a gathering ground for Demon Beasts exclusively cultivating spatial attributes.

*He was fresh out of spatial attribute Law Cores—better restock the supply.*

On this planet, there were over one hundred Star Domain Realm Demon Beasts and four thousand Emperor Realm Demon Beasts, all spatial attribute cultivators.

Perfect for extracting spatial attribute Law Fragments.

The Ancestral Empress asked doubtfully,

"What are you up to? I want to go cultivate. My Talent just upgraded, so I definitely have to test my new cultivation speed."

"Test out the changes to my mastery of Divine Skills, and see how much my combat power's increased."

"I have this confidence now—I could smack down my old self with one hand!"

Xiao Ye shot her a sidelong glance.

*He could smack down the current Ancestral Empress with one hand, too.*

"Didn't you want Law Cores? Time to restock."

"See these spatial attribute Demon Beasts? They're the source of Law Cores."

The Ancestral Empress's mouth twitched; she didn't buy it at all, rolling her eyes.

*Yeah, right! Like I'd believe you, Human Emperor, you sly bastard.*

Xiao Ye shrugged and reached out a hand.

Every single spatial attribute Demon Beast on the planet was swept into his palm-world.

Four thousand Emperor Realm beasts and two hundred Star Domain Realm beasts—all imprisoned within his palm-world, unable to move an inch.

Xiao Ye thought for a moment, unleashing spatial storms within the palm-world. In just a millisecond,

every Demon Beast's body was left perfectly intact, dead as doornails.

The Ancestral Empress looked at him weirdly, her conviction wavering,

"Wait, you're actually gathering Law Cores?"

"Human Emperor, are you sure you're not just messing with me?"

*Law Cores were the most primitive form of Law Origin bodies. You could only find them in the places where chaos was just beginning.*

*What did that have to do with Demon Beasts?*

Xiao Ye grinned, "Just watch and see."

He activated the Template Adjuster, Law Core Extraction Function.

Boom!

The supreme power descended.

A truly earth-shattering scene played out!
