Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 326

If each of the four avatars of the Eternal Lord wielded a supreme treasure, they would be practically equivalent to four of the strongest beings, each capable of supporting the number one power in the primordial universe.

Even the renowned Ancestral God Sect's three Ancestral Gods are merely sixth-order Universe Lords, completely incomparable to the Eternal Lord.

As for the Lord of Ultra, he was equally incredible. Even after the battle, everyone was still incredulous at how he managed to hold off so many powerful insectoid beings on his own, and even forced the insectoid queen to admit defeat.

That's the Zerg Queen, renowned among the strongest beings in the universe thanks to a palace-type supreme treasure. She can even roam freely in the three most dangerous places.

"However, we cannot let our guard down. This time, the human race took the initiative to attack, which also exposed a lot of their hidden strength. If the demon race wants to join forces again next time, it probably won't be so easy to end this time." The Chaos City Lord put down his wine cup and said in a deep voice.

This time, it was a joint effort of three races. If it weren't for my junior brother turning the tide, the Chaos City Lord could hardly imagine what the final outcome would have been.

"And most importantly, what kind of ancient civilization's legacy will the Eternal Lord obtain?"

"Yes, yes, the Eternal Lord is the most important one." Everyone realized this as well: "The reason why the demon race was able to unite is because they are afraid that the Eternal Lord will obtain the inheritance, which will greatly increase the power of our human race."

"The virtual universe will monitor the movements of the three races from now on. If there are any unusual movements, I will notify you immediately. During this time, everyone should stay and guard the territory. We will wait until the Eternal Lord passes the test before making any decisions," the Chaos City Lord instructed.

"no problem!"

It's just a matter of a few epochs; it has absolutely no impact on the Lord of the Universe.

"Then I'll be leaving now!"

Lu Yunhe said that this sudden battle had also distracted him a lot, slowing down his speed in solving the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.

This time, the human race flexed its muscles by fighting against three opponents single-handedly, which should dispel the ulterior motives of many other factions.

After the war between the human race, the demon race, and two other races, most of the forces in the primordial universe also received the information.

The ancestral mountain of the prison clan.

Towering figures stood in the vast hall. These figures were either rock creatures engulfed in flames, or large, hairy creatures with no mouths and only one eye. They were all different kinds of creatures, some made of flesh and blood, some of rock, and some of metal.

This is the Prison Clan, a very chaotic race, yet each of them exudes an endless aura of evil, a trait shared by all beings born and raised within the Prison Clan.

“Demon Ancestor, news has just come out that the human race has defeated the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race by fighting against three of them. The demon race even lost three universe lords, while the human race was unscathed,” said a universe lord of the Hell race.

"hiss!"

This achievement even made the Demon Ancestor, the strongest member of the Prison Clan, gasp in astonishment.

This is the case when it's three against one. If it were one against one, wouldn't the Prison Clan, who are relatively weaker, be at risk of being wiped out?

At the same time, with the spread of a large amount of war information, the Prison Clan became increasingly aware of the crisis.

Just then, an evil aura descended, manifesting as a massive, jet-black throne with 18 golden alien heads at the top of its backrest.

After the black throne descended, it quickly materialized into a human form with black skin, its entire body covered in simple armor, and its head a skull with a convex forehead that protruded forward like a scimitar.

The Prison King is exceptional among the exceptional. In some ways, it is similar to a supreme treasure in human form, and its true form is a black throne.

It can cultivate on its own and also possesses all the functions of a supreme treasure, even defensive capabilities. However, after the Prison King cultivated to the fifth-tier top-level universe master, he also found it difficult to make further progress.

"Prison King, you've returned from Liuchong Mountain?" the Demon Ancestor asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, the recruitment period for disciples by the Liuzhong Sect has already passed, and we'll have to wait for the next one."

Because they couldn't figure out the true nature of the Liu Chong Sect, and because their reincarnation period was still far off, none of the major powers in the primordial universe sent all their potential agents.

They were all prepared to wait until all the trials were over and it was confirmed that there was no fundamental danger before sending anyone else.

"Although we were far ahead of the Eternal Lord this time, judging from the situation at Liuchong Mountain, our various forces should still have a chance to obtain some of the inheritances of ancient civilizations in the future," said the Prison King.

"We still need to see how things go after the Liuzhong Sect assessment. We can't let our guard down until the very last step." The Demon Ancestor was also a little worried about whether Bai Shenglin's words were true or false, since they had no way of verifying them at this point.

"In this case, we cannot let our guard down against the human race. If another progenitor appears, even if our territory does not border the human race, there will still be risks. No race will complain about having too little territory."

The Prison King solemnly said, "The best solution now is twofold: first, to join forces with the demon race to suppress the rise of the human race; and second, to form an alliance with the crystal race to jointly deal with the human race and even the demon race."

The fact that the three top powers joined forces and mobilized all their forces is unprecedented in the entire primordial universe, enough to put many forces on their guard.

However, the fact that the human race managed to defeat three opponents single-handedly and achieve a great victory terrified these forces even more.

The birth of Liu Chongzong, the alliance of the three races, the rise of the human race... one major event after another made the entire primordial universe feel like it was on the verge of collapse.

Many universe lords and even the strongest beings couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis and wanted to band together for mutual support.

"Good, as expected of the King of Prisons."

The Demon Ancestor was overjoyed: "With this, our entire Prison Clan can overcome any danger, no matter how great it may be, by working together as one."

"I'll go find the Holy Lord right now."

……

Crystal group.

Inside the crystal-clear temple, the main hall is laid out in a circular pattern, with 16 crystal thrones arranged in total.

One by one, powerful members of the Crystal Clan sat on their thrones. Each of them had a perfect face, regardless of gender. Their bodies, forged from crystal, seemed to be the essence of the universe. They all had golden eyes between their brows and exuded an aura of power.

"Holy Lord, the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race tried to coerce humanity before it could inherit the legacy of the ancient civilization, but the human race won the battle and won. What should our Crystal race do next?"

“If the Eternal Lord obtains the inheritance of the ancient civilization and surpasses the Primordial Ancestor, the cosmic situation will likely be reshuffled once again,” said one after another, the cosmic lords of the Crystal Race.

The strongest being of the Crystal Clan, the Holy Lord, did not make any statement. Just as he was pondering, he instantly sensed the aura of the Demon Ancestor of the Prison Clan and quickly began to communicate with him.

After the exchange, the Crystal Clan waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet: "I just communicated with the Demon Ancestor of the Prison Clan. Next, our Crystal Clan will wait for the ancient civilization to end, and at the same time, form a temporary alliance with the Prison Clan to deal with changes in the cosmic situation."

Hearing the words of the Crystal Clan Holy Lord, the many Universe Lords were reassured and their minds calmed down.

With the strongest player present, there's always room for maneuver.

Chapter 364 The Universe's Strongest Entities Taking Successive Actions

The primordial universe, a remote region!

A being dressed in a magnificent purple robe, with long, flowing silver hair, a face that was neither male nor female, and eyes that shimmered with starlight, stood gently in the starry sky, and the laws of the universe seemed to retreat around them.

"Guangxing, what do you think of my proposal?" the purple figure asked.

The one known as Guangxing was an eight-armed man wearing silver battle armor and with silver feet on his head.

"The island lord is right. If the human race obtains the inheritance of the ancient civilization and produces another ancestor-level figure, they will probably be even more powerful than the Divine Eye Clan of the first reincarnation era," said the Lord of Light.

The Lord of Shihua Island nodded slightly: "Lord of Light, you are also the leader of your race, so you should be very aware of the race's aggressiveness."

"The stronger the power, the stronger the desire for territory, and the more territory they can occupy. The wider the territory they occupy, the more geniuses the clan can produce, and the stronger their overall strength will become."

"With this snowballing effect, once humanity has gained dominance, there will be no place for ordinary races like you to survive in the entire primordial universe."

“Indeed, no race can suppress its desire for territory.” The Lord of Light nodded.

Although the major races occupy vast territories, it is the ordinary races that control the vast majority of the original universe.

The original universe had a diameter of over tens of trillions of light-years, and the core territory of the major powerful races combined was probably only around tens of trillions of light-years.

Most importantly, because those top races have the strongest members, even if the human race is powerful, they will not be forced to exert too much pressure.

Just like the God-Eye Clan and the Skeleton Clan in the first cycle, even though the God-Eye Clan had the strength to kill the strongest beings in the universe, the Skeleton Clan was still not afraid and would oppose them at the drop of a hat.

But ordinary races are in a much worse situation. One or two universe lords are simply not enough to stop the human race from expanding.

“However, the Lord of Shihua Island probably came to us not just because of our connection to the human race, but because he wants the inheritance of that ancient civilization,” said the Lord of Light.

With precedents set, the strongest dared not enter to take the test, and could only place their hopes on the Lord of the Universe.

This made things much more difficult for the strongest lone wolves in the primordial universe.

Fortunately, the strongest players still have many cards to play. Although it's a bit late to establish their power, it's not too late.

“Yes, but this is also a mutually beneficial thing. I believe that you are also eager for the inheritance of that ancient civilization, but there are only one or two universe lords in the race, and you don’t dare to go rashly.” The Lord of Shihua Island wanted to regain the initiative.

Unfortunately, they are not from the same clan. Because of the Ryuju Sect, the relationship between the strongest and the Lord of the Universe has gradually become more equal.

The lords of the universe yearn for the protection of the strongest, and for their microcosms to pass through their first cosmic cycle.

The strongest beings originally didn't care about these universe lords, but because of the ancient civilization, the universe lords have become more important to them.

Therefore, the Lord of Shihua Island approached the Lord of Light, with whom he had previously cooperated, wanting to establish a top-tier power as well.

With the strongest providing protection, the Lord of the Universe went to the Liuzhong Sect to help him collect the inheritances of those who had survived the cycle of reincarnation, a mutually beneficial arrangement.

However, before that, this matter is still very difficult, because for these cosmic lords, passing through reincarnation is not their primary need. Their primary need is to break through to become the strongest, and only then do they consider the matter of reincarnation.

Therefore, even if they establish a power, these cosmic lords from different races, gathered together, will not wholeheartedly devote themselves to him, just like the Northern Frontier Alliance.

Even though the Lord of the Universe and the strongest lone traveler share common interests, they still argue endlessly about their respective interests and power conflicts.

But now the situation has changed. The human race is too powerful, making many races and forces feel threatened and oppressed.

Those universe lords who experienced the era when the primordial ancestor roamed the cosmic sea were especially wary of this.

In this way, some of the conflicts between the Lord of Shihua Island and the Lord of Guangxing were covered up by external pressure, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement, making concessions on their respective core interests.

"Island Lord, I have connected with a total of 97 Universe Lords this time. This is our common interest and demand." The Lord of Light gave them their terms.

First, open up the microcosm. The microcosm of the Primordial Island Lord is open to all races. After this cycle ends, they will have the right to move to the strongest microcosm.

Second: They will go to Liuchong Mountain to compete for the inheritance of ancient civilization. Once a master of the universe falls, the race must be treated kindly by everyone. They cannot invade the territory or interfere with the development. They also have the right to enter the microcosm.

Third: Once the human race invades, the Lord of the Primordial Island must fight alongside them to cope with the pressure from the human race.

These three points can be considered to cover the core demands of the Lord of Light and his group, both now and in the future. They don't have too many excessive demands; rather, they are what a normal, top-tier power should be like.

These cosmic rulers also yearn for the establishment of a supreme power, as they also wish to seek the inheritance of ancient civilizations and ensure the eternal existence of their races.

In response, the Lord of Shihua Island accepted the proposal from the Lord of Light and his group, while also making his own demands.

First, those who travel to Liuchong Mountain must share all the information obtained from the ancient civilization.

Secondly, the primary pursuit of the entire force is to establish a holy land by overcoming the cycle of reincarnation; the method of advancement for the strongest must be secondary.

Third, in the face of human invasion, the Lord of the Primordial Island will help resist. Similarly, other forces that have obtained the core inheritance of the ancient civilization, such as the Lord of Light and other cosmic lords, must also follow him in advancing and retreating.

Although the last clauses of both sides had different objectives, the results seemed to be aimed at the human race.

The request made by the Lord of the Primordial Island was, of course, centered on a way to break through the cycle of reincarnation, even if it meant going to war with the human race.

Other factions are still under discussion, but for the time being, the human race has a very high probability of obtaining the core inheritance of the ancient civilization.

Having become the strongest being, the Lord of the Primordial Island's ultimate goal is naturally to transcend reincarnation and establish the third holy land, and he is currently working towards this goal.

"it is good!"
