"Boom!"

An incredible pressure instantly descended upon the surrounding star field and spread outwards. Compared to this pressure, even the Qianwu Country Lord was insignificant.

Wow!

Vast and mighty, the entire region of the surrounding star field, spanning light-years, including stars, three major planets, and numerous asteroids, was subjected to an irresistible force of restraint!

That is a complete control over the entire spacetime!

Knowing that he could not escape back to the Zerg Territory, Venerable Jue Guang directly Divine Power Burning, determined to control Lin Yan's Soul Control.

Boom!

In that vast starry sky, the spacetime constraints surrounding Venerable Jue Guang suddenly escalated, as if an invisible giant had grabbed his body and was about to crush him completely.

Venerable Jue Guang felt an incredibly powerful and terrifying force descend upon him. Even though he burning Divine Power to resist it, the surrounding constraints continued to expand and increase in power.

"The Lord of the Universe has descended?" Behind the ancient mask, the killing intent in his eyes vanished, replaced by a hint of horror.

Lord of the Universe!

The Lord of the Universe can completely control a region of space and time.

Everything within this spacetime... is manipulated. By controlling spacetime, one can suppress opponents, and even Reverse Space-Time to see everything that happened in the past. It is not impossible to bring a fallen being from the past to the present and revive them.

How is that possible?

How could it possibly attract beings at the level of the Lord of the Universe?

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..." Venerable Jue Guang's body was constantly being worn down under this pressure, and in the blink of an eye, 1% of it had already been consumed.

99%, 98%, 97%... The divine body continued to weaken.

"There's no way to resist him at all. The Lord of the Universe is truly powerful. I haven't even had a chance to see him before I'm already severely injured." Venerable Jue Guang struggled to withstand the pressure.

All that remained in his heart was despair.

After the Lord of the Universe takes control of a spacetime, he can kill Universe Venerable simply by controlling that spacetime. Even a being like the Universe Overlord would find it difficult to move forward in the spacetime that is controlled.

Among the Universe Overlord, very few dare to challenge the cosmic master and fight him one-on-one.

Even Venerable Jue Guang, who is not even Universe Overlord, has no ability to resist this situation.

"Roar..." Venerable Jue Guang roared angrily.

"Using that human Lin Yan as bait, which universe lord is so shameless as to do such a despicable thing!"

"Damn humans!!"

A fierce and unwilling roar was transmitted through divine power, echoing across the starry sky.

Venerable Jue Guang's mentality collapsed.

Based on the situation at the scene, this Lord of the Universe did not appear later, but had been hiding behind the scenes all along, secretly protecting Lin Yan.

Although Venerable Jue Guang's detection equipment was advanced enough, it was completely invisible to this super strong person. Considering that it was uncertain whether Venerable Jue Guang was nearby, he did not appear.

Oh my god!

What kind of logic is there in having the ruler of the universe as a bodyguard?

Cultivation is not something that can be achieved solely through talent. To stand at the pinnacle of the universe, one also needs willpower, opportunities, hard work, luck, and many other factors.

Even back then, the Demon Race didn't go to such extremes in training and honing the "Lord Chang Jiu".

The Lord Chang Jiu was an extremely talented genius of the Demon Race back then, with great potential. He was valued by the Demon Race True God and asked for help several times when he was at the Universe Venerable level, causing the entire Demon Race Alliance to rush to his rescue in a panic.

But it's impossible to have the Lord of the Universe provide close protection when you're still very weak!

Even if the potential is great, doesn't the Lord of the Universe have any pride?

Venerable Jue Guang never considered this possibility, or rather, no one could possibly have such an idea.

"Interesting."

The towering figure's voice boomed, causing the entire space-time to tremble and shudder. "As High-grade Venerable, you ventured deep into my Human territory to assassinate a junior of my human race's Domain Lord level. What gives you the audacity to utter such words?"

Venerable Jue Guang turned his head.

What came into view was an endlessly tall tree and its imposing figure exuding boundless pressure. My eyes widened in terror, and a chill ran through my heart.

The tree is hundreds of millions of kilometers tall, with Tree Crown diameter exceeding 1 billion kilometers. Its trunk resembles a giant piece of jade, faintly radiating light, making it quite dazzling.

It contained an endless life force, and bursts of emerald light formed layers of halos.

And that towering figure.

He was covered in black and green scale armor, with two long, curved black horns on his head. His warm eyes were like jade, as if they could see right through him, and the surrounding space trembled.

Venerable Jue Guang exclaimed in surprise, "... Venerable Ancestor Tree!"

The person before him was not the Lord of the Universe he had expected, but his reputation among the Alien Race was far more renowned and terrifying than that of the Lord of the Universe!

Venerable Ancestor Tree!

Although the title itself is nothing special and doesn't exude any great power, it is enough to make countless Alien Race venerables tremble with fear.

Even Universe Overlord cannot stop him from assassinating a domain lord, but the Venerable Ancestor Tree can.

The human race has many Universe Overlord, but because humans are inherently ordinary life forms, most of these Universe Overlord are of Ordinary Level.

Only three Universe Overlord are extremely powerful!

Venerable Ancestor Tree, Lord of Star Prison Demon, Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

These three are all extremely powerful Universe Overlord with very Special Encounters and the ability to create clones!

Under normal circumstances—

The number of top-tier Universe Overlord and cosmic masters in a faction should be roughly the same. The human race has more than a dozen cosmic masters, but only three top-tier Universe Overlord. This is because the human race itself is weak.

In a cult like the Ancestor God Cult, which gathers a large number of Special Lifeform, the most powerful Universe Overlord are actually more numerous than the cosmic lords.

As the pinnacle race, the human race has only three top-tier Universe Overlord, which leads to their higher status and the fact that the Supreme Treasure they possess are naturally better than those of the top-tier Universe Overlord of other forces.

Any one of these three has a great reputation, even more so than the human race's cosmic ruler!

This is because...

The combat power of top-tier Universe Overlord is very close to that of a cosmic lord. Moreover, while a cosmic lord can never be resurrected after death, top-tier Universe Overlord cosmic overlord can be resurrected after death. This gives top-tier Universe Overlord a very special status.

Human beings, like the rulers of the universe, hold extremely high positions and rarely appear in public. It is very difficult for Alien Race to see their venerable figures.

In comparison, the murderous reputations of these three top-tier Universe Overlord are even more terrifying.

The Supreme Treasure is incredibly powerful, the secret techniques are incredibly powerful, and it possesses Special Life Clone with Life Gene Level thousands of times higher. Both its strength and its ability to protect itself are extremely terrifying.

Among the three top-tier Universe Overlord of this human race, the "Venerable Ancestor Tree" is considered the strongest according to the speculations of the Alien Race.

The Venerable Ancestor Tree is the disciple of the strongest human being, the "Great Axe Founder." The reason he is considered the strongest is because he possesses a "High-grade Flying Palace Supreme Treasure." Legend has it that his avatar is Special Lifeform... the "World Tree"!

However, Venerable Ancestor Tree never made this public, so it has never been truly verified.

But the Venerable Jue Guang now is enough to confirm this!

World Tree!

This is Special Lifeform form that ranks first in size in the universe; it is incredibly large.

The Strongest World Tree in the universe, at the Universe Venerable level, has a trunk that is 12 million kilometers thick and 290 million kilometers high. Its Tree Crown is so large that its diameter exceeds 1 billion kilometers!

The World Tree's innate ability is "Mastery of Time and Space"!

Within a certain range around it Time, Space are completely controlled. Although it is far less capable than the "Lord of the Universe" in completely controlling a region's time and space, as the World Tree itself continues to grow stronger, its ability to control time and space also continues to increase.

It is said that the Strongest World Tree, at the Universe Venerable level, possesses a power to Mastery of Time and Space and time that is no less than that of the Lord of the Universe.

It can even Reverse Space-Time.

Given the terrifying power of the Venerable Ancestor Tree, his "World Tree" avatar is in no way inferior to the Strongest World Tree!

At the Life Gene Level alone, it is thousands of times larger than that of ordinary life.

The enormous size... also represents the god's body being incredibly powerful and tyrannical, storing an astonishing amount of divine power. Coupled with "Mastery of Time and Space," it is simply a matter of crushing opponents of the same level!

"Venerable Jue Guang, the Zerg are truly willing to go to great lengths for a descendant of our human race!" Venerable Ancestor Tree smiled.

His voice echoed around, "Since you dared to come, you should have expected this day. Don't leave."

Wow!

The divine power of the World Tree began to burn.

Divine Power Burning?

Venerable Jue Guang's eyes widened instantly!

At this moment, he understood that with the strength of the Venerable Ancestor Tree, it would not be difficult for him to stop, so why did he need to release the World Tree Clone?

"You want to Soul Erosion?" Venerable Jue Guang immediately began to attempt Self-destruct.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

At the same time, three forces instantly descended upon Venerable Jue Guang.

The first layer of power is the suppressive power of "Mastery of Time and Space," the second layer of power is the suppressive power of the "High-grade Flying Palace Supreme Treasure," and the third layer of power is the powerful force generated by the Divine Power Burning of the World Tree's divine power.

The triple suppression prevented Venerable Jue Guang from instantly Self-destruct.

"How is this possible?" Venerable Jue Guang looked horrified.

The Venerable Ancestor Tree smiled.

An immortal being encountering Universe Venerable is powerless to even Self-destruct in the presence of the Universe Venerable! This is the absolute difference in strength!

In his presence, Venerable Jue Guang had no chance of escaping his Soul Attack by Self-destruct.

"Boom!"

A surge of Void Divine Power instantly entered Venerable Jue Guang's mind, and while burning Divine Power, it directly attacked his soul.

Venerable Jue Guang's body stiffened.

Boom!

His divine body still existed, but he fell heavily to the ground, and his Life Imprint completely disappeared!

In the virtual world set up within the Zerg.

A Zerg Mother Queen, shrouded in a veil that seemed to be invisible, arrived at a floating island.

This is an island belonging to the Kong* tribe in a virtual world.

"Jueguang, what exactly happened in the Human territory?" Xisheng descended directly upon Venerable Jue Guang's palace.

The Heart Devouring King was her Soul Servant, and she sensed it at the moment of her death, knowing that they had already begun their actions.

But as soon as she arrived at the palace, she discovered that Venerable Jue Guang's consciousness, which was originally connected to the virtual world, had vanished instantly.

Xisheng stopped in her tracks, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

At this moment...

The Lord of Feather Tu sent her an email.

"'Jueguang' has fallen. Before his death, he sent me an email saying that the human genius Lin Yan was bait, protected by the Venerable Ancestor Tree. This was a trap prepared for us."

"Abandon all actions related to 'Lin Yan'."

Xisheng felt a chill in his heart.

Venerable Ancestor Tree?

The top-tier Universe Overlord are already close to becoming cosmic masters. Dealing with Venerable Jue Guang is simply a massacre. This operation not only failed, but also cost a Universe Venerable his life!

Although clones have excellent survival abilities.

However, Soul Annihilation can also annihilate the clone based on this connection.

Xisheng's face turned ashen.

Venerable Jue Guang went on the adventure to carry out a mission, and it was inevitable that he would fail when he encountered Venerable Ancestor Tree. The expensive price of resurrecting a High-class Universe Venerable was naturally borne by the Zerg Alliance.

What's infuriating is that... that human genius was completely unharmed!

Of course, it is true that the cost of Venerable Jue Guang's resurrection is borne by the Zerg Alliance, but it is usually distributed in a centralized manner, allocated to a certain universe lord, and then the universe lord will take action when he has time.

I don't know when that was.

Ganwu Universe Country, Mengyou Star Domain.

"Venerable Ancestor Tree." The Qianwu Country Lord bowed respectfully.

Although both are Universe Venerable, the difference between them surpasses the difference between ordinary Immortal God and Feng Wang Immortal God.

The other party is the pillar of the community, while he himself is living a life of "not making ends meet".

In the starry sky at this moment, all the Immortal Zerg Warriors had been annihilated.

The others were in a strange state, as if they were asleep, surrounded by layers of light emanating from the World Tree.

The Venerable Ancestor Tree glanced at Lin Yan.

Soon...

Lin Yan and King Tong Nan awoke from their deep sleep.

"Tong Nan greets Venerable Ancestor Tree." King Tong Nan.

Lin Yan also bowed.

His memory was still stuck on the time when the Universe Venerable appeared to assassinate him, and he fell into a deep sleep when the Venerable Ancestor Tree appeared.

Upon hearing the name of the Venerable Ancestor Tree and looking at the towering World Tree, Lin Yan suddenly understood many things.

He thought to himself, "No wonder my teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, spoke with such confidence when I left the Original Secret Realm!"

This is already worthy of being called "master of the universe" level combat power, and it is still within Human territory, so it is almost impossible for anything to go wrong.

The top-tier Universe Overlord of humankind are all stationed in key and important locations.

For example, the Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace guards the "Blood Luo World," which is the Core Land related to the "Beast God's Blood," while the Lord of Star Prison Demon guards the "Eighteen Starfield Prison," which is the most severe prison in the Human territory of the universe.

Like the Venerable Ancestor Tree, they are usually in the Small Universe of the Great Axe Founder.

The time I spent waiting before was probably spent rushing back from the Small Universe to the Primordial Universe just to support myself.

This made Lin Yan feel somewhat extravagant.

Beings like top-tier Universe Overlord are not to be trifled with. Slaughtering Alien Race powerhouses would incite public outrage. Of course... if an Alien Race venerable enters Human Territory to assassinate a genius, he deserves to die no matter how tragically he dies.

"Thank you for your protection, Venerable One, which allowed me to Escape Alive," Lin Yan said respectfully.

Venerable Ancestor Tree shook his head. "No need for Many Gifts."

As he spoke, he looked around at the vanished Imperial Capital Star and the 30 interstellar warships, and sighed softly.

Lin Yan also looked over.

My mood is quite heavy.

The energy eruption and collective attack of the Immortal Zerg Warriors caused a spatial shockwave and an explosion within the material space, turning everything within a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers to ashes. The Imperial Capital Star was completely destroyed, and a large number of warriors perished.

Although the Immortal God and World Lord level inside the interstellar warships survived, almost all the Cosmic level warriors perished.

"You all retreat first. I am about to cast Reverse Space-Time. Stay out of my range." Venerable Ancestor Tree calmly looked around.

Lin Yan was taken aback.

Isn't the Venerable Ancestor Tree the Universe Venerable?

How can he still do the work of the Lord of the Universe?

"Yes." The Qianwu Country Lord's eyes lit up, and he led them away in a streak of light to a distant place.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Within a certain radius around the device, time begins to rapidly reverse!

It was like a movie playing in reverse, and at an extremely fast speed. The surrounding scenery changed, and powerful figures flew backward with their backs to each other. Time and space began to reverse!

Everything seemed like an illusion.

Whoosh!

Time reversed for only a moment before abruptly stopping. Within this Reverse Space-Time, the Immortal Zerg Warriors had not yet appeared.

In the reversed spacetime, everything is an illusion.

Only the World Tree is real.

"Stop!" Venerable Ancestor Tree's mind stirred.

Instantly locked onto "Imperial Capital Star" and numerous Cosmic level warriors within 30 interstellar warships!

All are locked.

"Time reversal".

Boom...

The surrounding spacetime, which had originally regressed to this moment, quickly began to return.

Just like pressing down a spring, it automatically bounces back! As top-tier Universe Overlord, the Venerable Ancestor Tree possesses World Tree Clone. With the World Tree's innate ability to "Mastery of Time and Space," he can indeed Reverse Space-Time.

In fact, the ability of the Lord of the Universe to "Mastery of Time and Space" was also bestowed upon him by the Primordial Universe.

If he doesn't save any of them... then there is no burden on the Venerable Ancestor Tree. But if he wants to revive some lives and bring them back from the past to the present, then he must bear the punishment.

The punishment was actually intended for those resurrected lives, but they were unable to bear it, so it had to be borne by Venerable Ancestor Tree.

Although he could Reverse Space-Time, he ultimately did not truly become the master of the universe, so there was still a difference. At most, he could resurrect some immortals, but he could never become Universe Venerable.

Fortunately, the people he is going to resurrect this time are at most at the Cosmic level, while most of the people on the Imperial Capital Star are at the Apprentice Level. Even if there are many of them, it is not difficult.

Moment--

A pale green planet reappeared in the starry sky, and he directly brought that Imperial Capital Star back to this time and space.

Lin Yan sighed inwardly, "I never expected that this Venerable Ancestor Tree would be willing to resurrect these ordinary people..."

It's important to understand that the punishment for Reverse Space-Time is terrifying, and it's not really worth it to save these ordinary people.

After all, an entire star field is only worth a few hundred thousand Hun Yuan Unit, and even the slightest loss of the divine body of Universe Overlord is immeasurable.

It seemed that Venerable Ancestor Tree knew what he was thinking.

The towering figure gazed at the Imperial Capital Star and said slowly, "I saved them only because I didn't save them before."

"This is a responsibility."

"My teacher once taught me," Venerable Ancestor Tree paused before saying, "You cannot save everyone, but you must shoulder your own responsibilities."

He turned to look at Lin Yan, his emerald eyes gentle. "Because... we are human."
