This is also a lesson Shen Hao learned from his last trial.

With his [Sovereign] Talent, no matter what kind of trial, once he fully masters all the Laws of the Trial Land, he becomes the sovereign of the trial, able to pass any test perfectly and with ease.

This is a “universal” path.

Moreover, to Shen Hao now, the Cosmic Treasures truly live up to their name; essentially, they are akin to a “Divine Rank”—a form of control over certain Laws, and they have been processed to be easier to wield.

Though it comes at a cost, that cost has been reduced to the bare minimum.

It must be noted that before acquiring the Cosmic Treasures, the scientists, witches, and even Ying among the Seven Giants were all merely mortals!

The power that allows mortals to ascend to heaven so easily, with just a slight contamination, is truly a blessing.

Furthermore, because Ying controls three Cosmic Treasures that achieve balance among each other, this slight contamination is minimized to the lowest level.

“These treasures can be used to cultivate top warriors within our civilization.” Shen Hao saw an opportunity.

In today’s Human Civilization, he is the only Chosen One who has reached the Seventh Stage, but the deficiency in others is not in their Level, but in their understanding of the Extraordinary Laws.

This is the most significant characteristic of the Seventh Stage.

The real capacity to influence the Cosmic Laws.

Thus, Shen Hao doesn’t have much to expedite this process; after all, it primarily relies on comprehension.

But these Cosmic Treasures can assist in this.

Especially when there are corresponding Laws present.

Hence, collecting Cosmic Treasures also became one of his missions.

It’s worth mentioning that these Cosmic Treasures seem to be universal, not rendered useless when taken out of their own universe; they can function just as well in other universes, and even two identical treasures can be set together without interfering with each other’s function.

This only indicates that Shen Hao’s conjecture is very likely correct; these Cosmic Treasures scattered across each universe actually originate from beyond the universe.

“We need to speed up the analysis.” Several of them are laid out in front of Shen Hao.

Even they are not a set; no one can ascertain the number of Cosmic Treasures, as new ones continue to be discovered continuously in every universe.

However, within the trials, there are hardly ever peaceful days.

Just a year and a half after starting to explore the Multi-dimensional Universe, the scouting corps for the first time encountered an unforeseen crisis.

It was a universe being “devoured”!

It seems the scouts were quite shocked, but when these individuals arrived at Lingxiao Palace to meet with Shen Hao, they appeared fearless, their emotions extremely elevated, controlled only by sheer willpower.

“At first, we just felt a dead silence, but after the initial scouting, we found that over eighty percent of the observable nebula system has completely vanished…” The lead scout recounted everything he witnessed.

After so many explorations, Human Civilization also has a general understanding of the Multi-dimensional Parallel Universe.

The space of the universe is naturally infinite, but the number of nebula systems is not.

Looking at the entire universe, most of the nebula systems are concentrated at the “center” of the universe – over forty thousand, while the United Conference, which is the “domain” of the Three Great Empires, mostly focuses on the central thousand or so nebula systems. As for the others, they may also have numerous civilizations, but they are not the “main characters” of the universe, at most some peripheral figures, only revealing a startling and terrifying number when disasters like the Space Undead emerge.

Therefore, all scouting personnel initially focused their landings on the most central thousand or so nebula systems.

The several scouts soon realized that this universe now contained less than eight thousand nebula systems.

Besides that, there was just emptiness.

It must be remembered that the number “over forty thousand” referred only to those surrounding the “center.” Beyond that, nebulae still existed, albeit sparse and mostly unobservable, and considering the boundless space of the universe, the actual number might have been even greater than “forty thousand.”

But now, they had all disappeared.

Completely unobservable.

The scouts quickly realized something was wrong.

But this was only the beginning.

“We discovered that the order of the three great empires in that universe has completely collapsed, all life planets are in chaos, war, plundering, madness…” As the scouts narrated everything they had observed, their recorded scenes were also being played in the grand hall.

Indeed, it was chaotic.

Not just simply a loss of order, but there was even a sense of final madness.

As if the apocalypse was imminent, everyone acted recklessly, venting for the last time.

“We have tried to gather information about the Seven Giants and found that four of them have already died. The three who still survive have completely succumbed to madness…”

The images in the grand hall changed once more.

The scouts evidently put a lot of effort into, in such a short time, checking the information on each of the Seven Giants.

Even those four who had died had their own pre-death scene recorded.

Severus died atop a haphazardly evolved mechanical body; his whole body had transformed into a deformed giant mechanism, eventually dismembered and exploded.

The Emperor of the Giant Empire died in a war against a witch. This witch, unlike most others seen before, was engulfed in an aura resembling dark, viscous fluid. It was apparent to everyone that her mind, soul, and body were no longer her own but had fallen into a puppet-like, slave-like state.

The Ancient God Race committed suicide, as if they had realized some irreversible doom, transforming their entire race into the purest energy, dissipating into the vast universe.

The last one to die, who didn’t appear much and was quite reserved, was the Emperor of the Allen Empire, an Energy Controller. His death was the most mysterious; no one knew what happened. All that could be seen was his last mournful cry from his palace, and then he, along with the mother planet of the Allen Empire, completely vanished.

The deaths of these four occurred at different times, as if an invisible hand was systematically destroying them.

The three who survived also met with extreme misery.

As the scout had said, they had fallen into complete madness.

The Witch utterly corrupted, roamed the universe aimlessly, chaotically destroying planet after planet. Yatai, after a bout of madness, fell into a deep sleep. Together with the mother planet of the Yatai Empire and a large surrounding area, it turned into a dreamland of death where anyone approaching would fall asleep and then painfully die in their slumber.

The last, Ying, the strongest among the Seven Giants, was the most serene yet most insane.

He dismembered his own body, his head continuously destroying everything while his torso tried to stop it, with limbs ceaselessly battling each other, remaining in what used to be the site of the United Conference, now reduced to ruins.

“We tried to go to the place where Ying was located, attempting to bring him back, but, Ying’s strength is too formidable. After dismembering himself, he seemed even stronger, and we couldn’t get close,” the scout recounted the last part, seemingly a bit ashamed.

They were all just at the Fifth Stage, facing Ying, who was almost in the Late Stage Sixth Stage, it was normal to be powerless.

Not due to dereliction.

Shen Hao looked around at the other people in the grand hall and asked aloud, “Who will go and bring Ying back?”
