Humanity's Highest-Level "Great Axe Meeting"!
The Primordial Universe Humans realm, the Original Secret Realm, the location of the Chaos City Lord, the Thousand Treasures River, vast and mighty, stretching for light-years.
A starry sky and a river encircle the undulating Palace Cluster.
Inside the majestic main hall, amidst what seemed like endless Chaos, a towering, silver-white figure sat cross-legged in meditation. Suddenly, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as serene and peaceful as a vast lake.
"Earth..."
The Chaos City Lord pondered for a moment, then turned to look to the side. He saw wisps of hazy divine power fly out from his divine body and then condense beside him, forming a human form.
It was a figure dressed in a golden robe, with patches of blue scales on its head, and a face that looked exactly like Earthling, just like the image that often appeared in the Virtual Universe. It was the Human Main Body form of the Chaos City Lord.
This clone, which is stationed in the Original Secret Realm, is a Special Lifeform.
Unlike last time when he had to personally Reverse Space-Time, this time with the Giant Axe, the Chaos City Lord only needed to send out a "Divine Power Clone".
Divine Power Clone is an avatar created by splitting off Split Spirit. It is very weak, but its consciousness is connected to the divine and it is mainly used to keep communication flowing smoothly.
The divine power of Immortal God is very weak, and they cannot even maintain basic "consciousness." However, it is much easier for Universe Venerable to wield it.
Since the Great Axe Founder had no clones, when he went on adventures in the Cosmic Sea, he would leave behind Divine Power Clone in the Primordial Universe, which would allow him to easily connect to the Virtual Universe and understand the various situations of his race.
"Hopefully, this return of the Giant Axe will successfully Reverse Space-Time and uncover the secrets hidden behind Earth!"
The Chaos City Lord thought to himself.
If when he last explored Earth, the overall level of the Earth lineage was very low and there was nothing particularly special about it, as time has passed, Earth has developed more and more rapidly, and its unique characteristics have become more and more obvious.
Although he was not the kind of person who delved into the details or liked to pry into privacy, as the ruler of the human race, if he could not find out the historical context, it would naturally be difficult for him to make the right judgments about matters concerning "Earth".
Call!
A hazy light appeared, and this Divine Power Clone disappeared into the Majestic Palace via Divine Kingdom Teleportation.
The Milky Way Galaxy, the Solar System.
Wow!
A colossal, incredibly Giant Axe appeared out of thin air in the starry sky, followed by the appearance of a disheveled, savage-looking Savage. He stood in the void, gazing at the azure planet, and laughed heartily, "This... is Earth?"
"I never expected to encounter such a wonderful surprise when I left the Primordial Universe!"
His voice was deep and loud, and he seemed very happy.
As the pillar of humanity, the true sole pillar, he naturally hoped that humanity could grow and prosper.
Whether it's Lin Yan, who has a high probability of becoming a master of the universe, or the Strongest Bloodline in the universe belonging to humanity, or the discovery of Earth, this magical Life Planet, each one... is indeed something to be happy about.
The last time a cosmic ruler appeared among the human race... was the current Lord of Ghost Marquis. Counting the time, it has been a very, very long time!
The one with the best chance of becoming the Lord of the Universe right now is not the top-tier Universe Overlord like the Sky Eclipse or the Ancestor Tree, but this genius World Master, "Lin Yan"!
Moment.
The Divine Power Clone of the Chaos City Lord also appeared in the starry sky.
"Chaos." The Savage Giant looked over with a smile.
"Giant Axe." The Chaos City Lord's eyes lit up. "How did this trip to the Cosmic Sea go?"
"I did manage to acquire a Top-tier Supreme Treasure, which is quite good. However, after receiving the news, I rushed back as soon as possible," the Great Axe Founder laughed. "I've been itching to get to the bottom of things on Earth, so as soon as I returned to the Primordial Universe, I came straight here."
"Hmm." The Chaos City Lord nodded. "Based on the information I have now, Earth's history should be quite long, but it didn't show anything remarkable before Lin Yan's rise. Otherwise, it wouldn't have only come into our view now."
"But since Lin Yan's rise, Earth's cultivation civilization has begun to sprout. It has only been a few thousand years, but the appearance it has shown is already quite amazing."
"The proportion of geniuses is extremely high. There are countless Planetary level individuals who possess domains and Stellar level individuals who have crossed the threshold of the laws. They have even greater potential for cultivation. Not to mention Lin Yan... You also know about 'Hong's' situation. He actually managed to pass through the 21st level of the Illusionary Sea at the Cosmic level. It's truly unbelievable!"
"The occurrence of this phenomenon must be closely related to the 'Earth' itself."
"However, because of the 'descendance of the Primal Universe Will,' once Reverse Space-Time to the corresponding time node, my control over this spacetime will be directly stripped and interrupted, and I can only rely on you," said the Chaos City Lord.
Upon hearing this...
The Great Axe Founder laughed, "The ability of the Lord of the Universe to 'Mastery of Time and Space' is, after all, bestowed by the Laws of Cosmic Operation. Everything must operate in accordance with the Universe Origin Law. I will give it a try. As long as it does not truly violate the Laws of Cosmic Operation, it should be able to change this!"
"Good!" A hint of anticipation appeared in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord.
How powerful Universe's Strongest?
Even the Laws of Cosmic Operation must be respected. Within a certain range of the Universe's Strongest, one can possess the privilege of "Word is Law" and control everything!
The Great Axe Founder nodded slightly, then looked at the vast void around him. With a single thought, the space-time before him rapidly reversed.
Call!
Scenes unfolded before their eyes.
The majestic temple at the edge of the Solar System's starry sky remained completely unaware of this.
Firstly, because the Great Axe Founder was too powerful, he didn't want others to know, so naturally no one would know.
Secondly, some special arrangements in the temple are determined and controlled by the Virtual Universe System. The two people in the void are the people with the highest authority in the Virtual Universe System, apart from the "Primordial Ancestor".
Splash splash splash...
Time and space before my eyes are rewinding at an extremely fast speed, and countless scenes around me are changing.
"It's getting closer." The Chaos City Lord had a solemn expression. The time for the Primal Universe Will to descend was approaching. It was here that Lin Yan was bestowed with the Strongest Bloodline in the universe.
Boom!
A faint light filled the Earth, and everything came to a standstill!
In that instant.
Like a spring snapping, the surrounding spacetime suddenly began to reverse, returning to reality!
"Huh?" The Chaos City Lord was utterly shocked. "It failed?"
Even the Universe's Strongest were stripped of their control over time during this process of Reverse Space-Time!
When the Great Axe Founder saw this, his bright eyes became even more serious, clearly somewhat surprised.
"Perhaps we should try a different approach." A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Then Reverse Space-Time again!
However, this time the Great Axe Founder did not reverse time to the moment when the Primordial Universe consciousness descended. Two years before that, it was as if the movie had been fast-forwarded, and the scene in the void jumped directly!
Call!
In the original timeline, Lin Yan was already Planetary level when the Primordial Universe consciousness descended. However, after the "fast forward," it jumped directly to several years ago. At this time, Lin Yan was not even Apprentice Level being. He was wearing combat uniforms, hiding behind cover, with a sniper rifle placed flat in front of him.
Blood and fire.
A war between humans and monsters.
"Success!" The Chaos City Lord smiled.
After skipping that scene, one can naturally reverse to a more distant time and space to uncover deeper secrets of Earth. As for the few years that were skipped due to the influence of the "descendance of the Universe Origin Consciousness"... the Chaos City Lord doesn't care.
At this point, Earth clearly has no value for exploration.
"Haha." The Great Axe Founder also breathed a sigh of relief.
Regarding the "Universe Origin Consciousness," perhaps only the Ancestor God Cult knows more about it in the entire Primordial Universe. He has never really come into contact with it, and due to the "Primordial Ancestor," the Great Axe Founder has mostly kept his distance with respect.
However, he is still very interested in the deeper secrets behind Earth.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes. "I'd like to see... what exactly is the reason for Earth's incredible nature?"
Call!
The scene in the void continued to reverse at an even faster pace!
In Virtual Universe, in Plane Space, faint starlight flickers amidst endless darkness.
A simple temple floats in mid-air.
In the not-too-large open space in front of the temple, there was a long stone table with only one stone chair on it, while there were rows of stone chairs on both sides. At this moment, these stone chairs were occupied by towering figures.
"Haha, Huang Jian, I've heard all about it in the Cosmic Sea. You obtained a Peak Supreme Treasure in the Inner Domain of Tilted Peak Realm, and even encountered the Lord Jingyan Divine Eye Clan because of it!"
"Hmph, those from the First Reincarnation Era are all lunatics!"
"He may be crazy, but fortunately I didn't suffer any losses. In terms of soul, he is indeed comparable to Chaos and Peng Gong, but I was able to withstand his Soul Attack, so he couldn't do anything to me. In terms of Material Attack, he is slightly inferior to me."
"Haha, Huang Jian is a tough rock after all!"
The lords of the universe were talking to each other.
The cosmic rulers of the human race are divided into five major factions, and it is natural for them to ridicule each other.
"Does anyone know what the purpose of this Supreme Council convened by Giant Axe is?"
"The last meeting was to discuss that genius named Lin Yan. What will it be about this time?"
"Speaking of Lin Yan... he was quite the talk of the town a few years ago. He's become Invincible Feng Wang so quickly. And Lin Xiao, who has recently conquered the Glory Tongtian Mountain Cosmic level honor in your Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, is his son, right? I didn't expect him to be so talented. It's a good thing that Huang Jian got a good deal and took him in as a disciple."
"This Lin Yan is indeed dazzling. Compared to him back then, I was simply no match for him. I think he has the potential to become the master of the universe."
"He's really amazing. His talent is truly incredible. I hope he can cross the threshold of becoming a master of the universe."
For them, whether Lin Yan could become Universe Venerable or even top-tier Universe Overlord was beyond doubt. The only thing worth discussing was... whether he could become the Lord of the Universe.
However, while the probability of others is negligible, Lin Yan, whose talent and opportunities are astonishing, has a probability that is already quite considerable.
At this moment—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures appeared simultaneously. One was endlessly peaceful and open, serene and tranquil, while the other was endlessly dark and sinister, making one's heart tremble. They seemed to be two completely opposite auras, and neither was superior to the other.
"Chaos."
"Chaos, you have arrived."
"Chaos."
The cosmic lords present addressed him affectionately. Among the human race, apart from the Great Axe Founder and the Primordial Ancestor Permanently Suppressed by the Universe Origin, the Chaos City Lord held the highest position. He permanently guarded the Initial Universe and should also be respected.
"Darkness, you've come too? It's rare to see you show up."
"Darkness hasn't appeared for many meetings, but I didn't expect it to come this time."
The lords of the universe were talking to each other.
At this moment, the Lord of Ghost Marquis, who was filled with murderous aura, also came over. He first respectfully bowed to the Darkness Lord: "Teacher."
"Senior Uncle." Then he bowed slightly to the Chaos City Lord to show his respect, just a perfunctory bow, after all, he was the Lord of the Universe.
"Sit down," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.
A group of cosmic lords took their seats.
"Chaos, what is the purpose of this meeting? You should know, right?" asked one of the cosmic lords.
"I have some good news to share with everyone," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile. "The Giant Axe should be arriving soon, so let him announce it to you."
"Good news?"
"Could it be that the Giant Axe obtained a treasure of the Peak Domain Supreme Treasure of the realm, in the Cosmic Sea?"
"Or did you obtain some secret information in the Cosmic Sea?"
While the lords of the universe were speculating, the Great Axe Founder was the last to appear.
"Whoosh!"
With his hair disheveled, a Savage Giant appeared in the main seat.
Immediately, the lords of the universe fell silent, their expressions filled with respect. The Great Axe Founder looked around at the lords of the universe and laughed, "It has been a long time since our human race has witnessed such a scene. Haha, all the lords of the universe have gathered together."
The eighteen cosmic lords seated on either side of the long table also smiled.
This place is where the highest level of human power is gathered, consisting of 18 universe lords and one of the Universe's Strongest.
Although "Great Axe Meeting" are held regularly, it is difficult to have a full attendance, since everyone is busy cultivating and adventuring. Some universe lords do not participate in the management of their races at all. As long as a representative from each faction is present, it is not necessary for everyone to attend.
Take the "Darkness Lord" as an example. This powerful figure, who is comparable to the Chaos City Lord, has participated in very few of the Great Axe Meeting, which is why they were surprised.
"The main reason I've gathered everyone here today is to share two pieces of good news with you," Great Axe Founder, sitting in the main seat with a broad smile.
"The first thing is related to the 'Yan Shen Clan' and the Yan Di."
He had barely uttered the words when...
"Yan Di?" A cold voice rang out. "Could it be that that guy wants to return to the human race? That's hardly good news."
"Yan Di is extremely selfish. Before he left his clan, he attacked even the strongest members of his own race in order to seize the Supreme Treasure. I feel no regret at all that he left the human race; on the contrary, I feel happy! To fight alongside him would be an insult to me."
"Although the Yan Shen Clan has its merits, after that incident, he is indeed not qualified to sit with us."
"Wait, let Giant Axe finish speaking."
One by one, the rulers of the universe shared their opinions.
"Of course it's not that the Yan Di is returning to his clan." The Great Axe Founder shook his head and smiled. "We look down on him, and he wouldn't be willing to be bound by us."
"However, you should also know who cultivated the Yan Shen Clan back then."
"The Mountain Master?"
"That's the Universe's Strongest. I've heard he's incredibly cunning and has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
All the cosmic lords present had heard of the reputation of this powerful Alien Race being.
"Chaos and I recently discovered that the Mountain Master not only guided the Yan Shen Clan within the Human territory, but also transformed a Life Planet. Life born on this Special Lifeform planet, especially during the embryonic development process, is affected by the Life Planet's invisible influence, and a certain aspect of their soul undergoes special evolution," said the Great Axe Founder.
"Huh?" Many universe lords widened their eyes.
A special evolution in the realm of the soul?
"Yes, the effect is in terms of mindset... it's easier to understand and improve," the Great Axe Founder said with a smile.
"Isn't that the exact opposite of the Yan Shen Clan?" said the Lord Huang Jian. "The Yan Shen Clan evolved through their bodies, and their physical strength is extremely fierce and powerful. Their only flaw is that their mental state is relatively poor. As the Lord of the Universe, the Yan Di's mental state is also extremely poor."
"How come such a powerful Life Planet was only discovered now?" he wondered.
"We'll talk about that later," the Great Axe Founder laughed. "Our initial assessment, based on Chaos's observations, is that this Life Planet is no less valuable than Peak Domain Supreme Treasure, and it can definitely create a major branch for our human race!"
Peak Domain Supreme Treasure!
Upon hearing this, even many of the universe lords present held their breath.
How can a newly discovered Life Planet be made to be valued by Giant Axe and Chaos Peak Domain Supreme Treasure?
"There's a second piece of good news."
The Great Axe Founder had a bright look in his eyes. "Our human race has developed to the point where the best bloodline is only at the Domain Lord level upon adulthood. However, in recent years, a super bloodline has emerged that is at the World Lord level upon adulthood, with an innate Life Level of ten times. This will be the Strongest Bloodline belonging to our human race!"
"What!"
"The Strongest Bloodline in the universe?"
The cosmic rulers present were all shocked.
As for that magical Life Planet, since they had never seen it or heard of any powerful beings living there, they naturally lacked a real sense of it. Even compared to the Yan Shen Clan, the Yan Di left a very bad impression on them.
But the Strongest Bloodline in the universe is different.
To date, there has never been a precedent of the Strongest Bloodline in the universe not having a Lord of the Universe. The most exaggerated example is the Starry Sky Beast race, especially the Qiuhe Beast, which are extremely rare, yet have a total of three Lords of the Universe!
How could such Strongest Bloodline in the universe have appeared among the human race?
"The Strongest Bloodline in the universe, even the most recent ones, must be traced back to the early days of the Primordial Universe. According to the deduction, no matter how much the genes are optimized, they can only reach the Domain Lord level. Every fertile Strongest Bloodline in the universe is bestowed by the Primordial Universe." A gentle voice rang out.
"Indeed, the Giant Axe has investigated this matter thoroughly, even Reverse Space-Time to witness the descent of the Universe Origin Consciousness!" said the Chaos City Lord. "There is no doubt that this is the Strongest Bloodline in the universe. As for who brought it... everyone should be able to guess."
The Chaos City Lord uttered these words.
Several voices rang out in unison.
"Lin Yan!!"
