Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 325

Just now, the golden dragon clone mainly focused on attacking the universe master of the demon race, and did not deal with the universe master of the mechanical race. These mechanical race father gods also saw this.

They realized that the key now lay with the humans and the demons, while the insectoids and the machine races did not have such a strong desire to fight.

The separation of the Machine Race's Cosmic Lord foreshadowed the collapse of the three-race allied forces.

Seeing this, the Dream Demon Ancestor calmed down, and its divine body, which was over a light-year in size, slowly shrank back to its normal size.

"Human race, this time our demon race has suffered a defeat. Release our two universe lords," the Dream Demon Ancestor said calmly.

In fact, the moment the humans discovered the combined forces of the three races, they were already doomed.

After all, although the original ancestor of the human race was suppressed, there is still one strongest being in the universe and several sixth-tier strongest combatants.

Even if they don't take the initiative to attack, but simply retreat back to the initial universe or the giant axe's microcosm, the three-race allied forces will have no choice but to obediently retreat once they discover this.

Otherwise, even in the primordial universe, the universe lords of the three races would have to be careful, let alone in the cosmic sea.

"Dream Tea, you attacked my human race first, and I haven't even said anything yet." The Giant Axe Founder negotiated with the Dream Demon Ancestor while standing in front of the many humans, and at the same time, he hurriedly communicated with the human race internally in the virtual universe.

"Speak, what are your conditions!" Zhen Yaozu said in a low voice. He had to stand up straight after being beaten. The demon race had already lost two universe masters, and could not afford to lose two more.

The Lord of the Underworld and the other two must be brought back no matter what.

"It's very simple: two supreme treasures, and for ten eras, your demon race's universe lord and strongest being are forbidden from appearing within the human race's territory."

The giant axe said calmly that the condition was still too low for him, but for the human race now, the most important thing was development time, so he was too lazy to ask for more demanding conditions.

Exchanging a supreme treasure for the Lord of the Universe is definitely a win, and if we don't invade the human race for ten epochs, it will be even easier—just the time it takes to take a nap.

"Ten eras!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor looked at the giant axe and the various avatars of the Eternal Lord. The time to resolve the Rhinoceros Emperor's Situation was three eras. After it ended, one could enter the sect to choose an inheritance.

The selection process will be completed in three eras, the inheritance will be digested in seven eras, and after ten eras, who knows how much the human race's strength will grow?

However, circumstances are beyond human control; relying solely on themselves, the demon race is no match for the human race.

The Zerg and Mechs would only be a hindrance, and the Dream Demon Ancestor suddenly felt that it would be best to destroy the universe as soon as possible.

"Alright, Giant Axe, we agree to your human race's conditions. Quickly release the Lord of the Netherworld and the others." After exchanging words with the Zhen Demon Clan, the Dream Demon Ancestor also agreed to the conditions.

“Dream Tea, you must have misunderstood. The Demons will be returned to you after ten epochs.” Giant Axe shook his head.

"Ten epochs later!" Zhen Yaozu said in a low voice, "Don't you believe in the credibility of our demon race?"

"Do not believe!"

Giant Axe bluntly stated that, given the relationship between humans and demons, that little bit of trust was practically nonexistent.

Upon hearing the giant axe's words, the two demon ancestors swept their gazes across the entire human race. While feeling somewhat angry, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Two supreme treasures of the soul!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor stared intently at the Giant Axe Founder: "Let the Nether Demons refine two soul treasures; they all possess divine power incarnated within my microcosm."

“If you, Giant Axe, dare to enslave those two, we won’t mind fighting another racial war with your human race.”

It is almost impossible for the Lord of the Universe to enslave another Lord of the Universe, but if the strongest being combines the power of the microcosm's origin, it is still possible to enslave the Lord of the Universe.

However, if the Lord of the Universe possesses a supreme treasure for soul defense, there is still time for resistance; even the strongest cannot enslave instantly.

"can!"

Giant Axe nodded. Although he also wanted to enslave the two universe lords, they were also top-tier forces behind them. After the war, if the two sides returned to balance, some rules still had to be followed.

After negotiating with the demon race, Giant Axe turned his attention to the insect race and the mechanical race. After thinking about it, he decided to give up on demanding compensation.

Given this fragile balance, it's best not to provoke the other two races. After all, if possible, it's still worth trying to win over the Zerg and Mechs.

"Haha, Demon Ancestor, Empress, and Machine, I hope that next time you gather, you can inform the human race in advance to avoid a repeat of this incident."

After resolving the problem of the demon race, the founder of the giant axe couldn't help but burst into laughter, his voice echoing through time and space, resounding throughout the entire starry sky.

"That's right!"

The human powerhouses behind them were also beaming with joy: "This time we fought against three opponents and still had such a great advantage. If it had only been one of the demon race, I'm afraid half of the demon race's universe lords would have perished here."

The eyes of the human warriors flashed with fierce intent, eager to charge forward and fight again. The victory in the racial war had indeed greatly boosted their morale.

"Big axe!"

Upon hearing this, the Dream Demon Ancestor gritted his teeth, but could only rage helplessly.

With the strongest person present, many operations would be difficult to carry out if a surprise attack could not be successfully launched.

For a race, population is the foundation, but the lord of the universe and the strongest are the core.

Goodbye, Empress!

Ultraman's clone, supporting the City of Light, shifted his gaze from the Zerg Queen. Although he withdrew his attack, it did not mean he had let his guard down.

Ultraman's clone remained on guard until the human race prepared to retreat.

"goodbye!"

The founder of the giant axe then led the human warriors away in a swaggering manner.

Chapter 363 Disloyalty and Alliance

After the humans left, the Dream Demon Ancestor looked at the Zerg and Machine Race on the other side, suppressing his anger, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Empress, Machine, this crushing defeat is a disgrace to our three races. We must find a way to retaliate, otherwise, once the Eternal Lord obtains the inheritance, even our strongest members may be in danger."

At this moment, the demon race is like a gambler at a gambling table; the greater the losses, the less they can afford to give up easily.

However, with the current strength of the human race, it has already surpassed that of the demon race, and it is simply beyond the ability of the Dream Demon Ancestor and the others to solve.

Therefore, even though he was dissatisfied with the Zerg Queen and the Machine Father God, the Dream Demon Ancestor had to endure it and continue to win them over to deal with the Humans together.

However, the Dream Demon Ancestor's words also made the other two realize that the human race did not seem to be at its strongest at this time.

The main battle avatars of the Eternal Lord are still undergoing disciple assessments within the Liuzhong Sect and have not yet joined the battle.

Even among the four strongest beings present in the cosmic sea, none of the main combat avatars of the Eternal Lord dared to claim they could overpower the opponent's main combat avatar.

Within the primordial universe, the opponent possessed supreme treasures of the spacetime domain and palace type. Although their power ceiling was suppressed, the functions of these treasures were still genuine.

If there had been an additional Palace Treasure and Domain Treasure during the chaotic battle just now, the outcome would have been unimaginable.

Not to mention that the original ancestor once roamed the universe, and probably left some trump cards for the human race before the suppression, which were not forced out in the battle just now.

However, the ability to discover the alliance of the three races in advance probably also had the effect of the methods left by the original ancestor.

"The human race is currently powerful and possesses unknown detection methods. We probably can't launch a surprise attack as we planned before. We can only defeat the human race through sheer strength," the Zerg Queen said softly.

However, if they were to engage in a direct confrontation, even if they were to defeat the Terrans, the Zerg would likely suffer heavy losses, which would be difficult for them to accept.

Not to mention that if things go wrong, the human race has many escape routes available, making it difficult to completely wipe them out.

If the strongest human and the lord of the universe cannot be eliminated, then it will be difficult to truly win the war.

Let alone the strongest, even if a cosmic lord were determined to wage guerrilla warfare against you in the primordial universe, even the top forces would find it difficult to withstand.

“That’s right, continuing the fight to the death would be counterproductive.” The Mechanical God agreed, after all, he hadn’t forgotten the conflict between the Mechanical Race and the Zerg and Demon Race.

If the mechanical race suffers heavy losses in this battle, and the demon race turns against them, that would be disastrous.

“We also have affiliated forces. If we let them join the war, our advantage will be even greater. Humanity will no longer be able to hold off an entire race with just one Universe Lord as it did before.”

The Dream Demon Ancestor glanced at the Zerg Queen and said, "It's the same as fighting three against one, ten against thirty, and one hundred against three hundred. These are completely different concepts."

As the numbers increase, the advantages of individual strength or special abilities will shrink dramatically.

If the Lord of Ultra can stop one strongest being plus ten universe lords, can he stop one strongest being plus thirty or even forty universe lords?

"They probably won't agree."

The Zerg Queen pondered for a moment. The Eternal Lord's acquisition of the ancient civilization's legacy was still far from certain. The fact that the three races had united was largely just an attempt to take advantage of the situation and weaken the human race's power.

To get the cosmic lords of subordinate forces to take action, it would probably have to wait until the Eternal Lord obtains the inheritance and gives everyone hope of seizing it before they are willing to make a move.

Otherwise, if they all attack together now, it won't be about seizing the inheritance, but about annihilating the human race, which would be of no benefit to the subordinate forces.

On the other side, the Dream Demon Ancestor also thought of this point and felt depressed again. These subordinate forces could usually increase their prestige, but when it came to racial conflicts, they were basically useless.

"Demon Ancestor, I'm leaving now. We've failed this time. Let's go back and think of another way."

After failing to reach any effective conclusions, the Zerg Queen prepared to leave.

In fact, there is another reason why the Empress is unwilling to participate more: the succession of the Ryuju Sect is open to all forces, and at least so far, it has not been said that only one successor will be selected.

People from the Zerg, Demon, and Mechanical races have also become disciples of the Liuzhong Sect, but as things stand, they can probably only be classified as menial disciples.

However, who knows just how powerful this ancient civilization was? What if even their menial disciples had a chance to obtain the inheritance to transcend reincarnation?

As for the Eternal Lord obtaining an even more precious inheritance, which even involves a realm beyond reincarnation, that is not something they are considering now.

The lineage is not unique, which is why the Zerg Queen is unwilling to fight to the death.

It would be hilarious if, after receiving the inheritance, one discovered that all their clansmen were dead.

"Dream Tea, Tremor!"

After the Zerg Queen left, the Machine God looked at the two Demon Ancestors and then left with his subordinates. The Demon Race suffered heavy losses this time and it would probably take countless epochs to recover.

However, with two of the strongest individuals present, the damage to the overall strength of the demon race was not too severe.

"Humans, my demon race will not give up so easily." Watching the two major forces depart, the Dream Demon Ancestor was filled with intense hatred and anger, clearly unwilling to let this war pass by so easily.

On the other side, even the usually composed Zhen Yaozu could not hide his anger.

……

Human territory, a primeval secret realm!

At this moment, the many powerful human warriors who had retreated were all celebrating. Even the founder of the giant axe took out precious wine from the human treasury and invited everyone to drink together.

"In one battle, we repelled the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race. With the three races joining forces, look at the expression on the face of the Dream Demon Ancestor. It's a sight that's only seen once in billions of epochs." The Lord of Darkness chuckled.

"After this battle, those three races will probably never dare to provoke our human race again. They are just waiting for the Eternal Lord to finish the test of the ancient civilization." The Lord of the Desolate Mirror was also overjoyed.

"Our human race is truly blessed with destiny!"

The countless universes watched as the Eternal Lord's avatar and the incredibly mysterious Ultra Lord appeared, each filled with emotion and gratitude that both were from the human race.
