In the vast space.

At the center of the Black Skull Universe Pirates fleet, on the massive spaceship.

A seemingly young boy stood in the control room, gazing at the Five Burial Stars through a panoramic simulation.

“How much time is left?” A flat and emotionless voice emanated from the lips of the young boy.

“Sir, according to our estimation, there are approximately three days left!” The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior, who had earlier confronted the five major families, spoke respectfully to the young boy.

“Three days,” the young boy murmured to himself, nodding slightly. “Continue negotiating with them until they agree.”

“Yes!” The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior acknowledged and hesitated before asking, “What about the Heishan Li…”

“No need to worry. The five families must have sensed something by now. Otherwise, why would they be so arrogant yet submissive? They dare not do anything to Heishan Li,” the young boy said casually.

“I understand!” The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior’s eyes flashed as he nodded.

“You may leave now!” The young man replied.

The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior respectfully bowed once again and left.

After the fire-element universe-stage martial warrior left, the spacious control room fell into profound silence. Surrounding it were panoramic simulations of starry skies, dim and profound, with only the young boy standing there, hands behind his back.

“Elder Hui.” After a moment, the young boy spoke, “What is the highest realm of the eternal-stage martial warrior in the five families?”

“They’re only eternal stage marquess!” An ancient voice echoed from all around, the source unseen.

“Eternal stage marquess? The foundation of the five families is decent,” the young boy calmly remarked.

Although he mentioned “decent,” his expression remained unchanged, as if he didn’t regard the eternal stage marquess with any significance.

“The five families have already declined. In its prime, it was a united force, a formidable presence that traversed the vastness of the cosmos,” the aged voice spoke slowly.

“Oh, the five families had such a history?” The young boy asked in surprise.

“That was more than a thousand eras ago,” the aged voice continued, “Back then, the five families produced a peerless genius who emerged, harboring the essence of five small worlds within. He was considered invincible at the universe stage. Later, upon ascending to the eternal stage, he directly reached the status of an eternal-stage ruler, shocking the entire universe. Even giant entities such as the Virtual Universe Corporation, the Mercenaries Alliance, and the Universe Bank extended their branches to him, offering high positions and endless wealth and resources, causing envy among others.”

“Harboring the essence of five universe small worlds in his body! Eternal-stage ruler!” A rare hint of surprise finally flickered across the young boy’s normally calm face. He asked, “What happened later?”

“Afterward, he declined all offers, choosing not to join any organization. Instead, he returned alone to his birthplace, which is this Phantom Drift Territorial Domain, and founded the Five Burial Stars!” The aged voice continued.

“He declined?” The young boy exclaimed in disbelief.

“Yes, he declined. He was a genius with immense ambitions, aspiring to reach the realm of the true god stage with his strength and not be bound by others.” The aged voice carried a tinge of emotion.

“Having no foundation, becoming an eternal-stage ruler was already a great fortune. Reaching the god stage afterward might not be as easy,” the young boy remarked.

“While having five universe small worlds was is powerful, ascending to the eternal stage would still become very challenging. Ascending to the realm of god would be even more difficult. That’s why he ultimately perished, and no one in the five families has inherited his extraordinary talent,” the aged voice explained.

“Why? Shouldn’t talent be inheritable?” The young boy asked curiously.

“His talent is quite peculiar. It’s known as the Five Viscera Talent. Each internal organ corresponds to a specific talent, giving rise to the five small worlds. However, among his first-generation descendants, at most, they inherited one or two types of visceral talents. In the second generation, only one visceral talent remained. As bloodlines diluted, manifesting a singular talent became exceedingly difficult,” the aged voice patiently explained. “Over time, those possessing the five talents diverged, gradually forming the present five major families.”

“So this is how the five families came about.” The young boy’s expression turned curious, and he asked, “Does that mean there was never anyone in his descendants who could awaken all five talents simultaneously?”

“Never,” the aged voice asserted.

“That’s truly regrettable.” The young boy shook his head and then asked, “Does this mean my current mission is related to this?”

“Yes, it is rumored that the founder of the five families extracted his five eternal stage viscera and hid them in an extremely secretive space. Your task is to retrieve those five viscera,” the aged voice explained.

“What? He left behind his own eternal stage viscera!” The young boy exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s quite normal. His viscera represented his talents. Since there were no individuals with the same talents among his descendants, he must have felt regretful. Leaving his viscera behind was a way to offer a glimmer of hope to future generations,” the aged voice said.

“Can his viscera reproduce those talents?” The young boy seemed to have realized something, his gaze becoming somewhat fervent as he asked.

“Indeed, as long as you merge the talents of our clan with those five immortal viscera, you will possess the same talents as the five families’ founder. Coupled with the inherent talents of our Heishan Royal Clan, you are sure to become the most formidable prodigy of the era,” the aged voice declared..
