Upon hearing this...

The Lord of Black Lotus and the Star Lord Liulan exchanged a glance, secretly relieved, but also somewhat silent.

For the loose super alliance of the Northern Frontier Alliance, the gathering of these various races and powerful individuals is more about sharing wealth and prosperity than about sharing hardships. The Universe's Strongest are limited by the Universe Origin Law, and with the presence of these three universe lords with "Tier 5 peak" combat power, they naturally do not need to worry about other super forces in the Primordial Universe.

But it just so happens that they've provoked a special being like "Lin Yan"!

Even the combined attack of the three Universe's Strongest only resulted in such a dismal outcome; it would be difficult for the three cosmic lords to restrain them even slightly.

It is conceivable—

What a deterrent force it poses to the Northern Frontier Alliance! Even though Lin Yan did nothing, just letting out a little bit of information, it has already interfered with the normal operation of the alliance.

They had all cultivated for countless years and seen countless storms, so they naturally understood... The reason there were no further actions yet was simply because retaliating by "killing a universe master" would not bring any substantial benefits. This was to leave them room to maneuver and let them choose to admit their mistakes.

The best solution is undoubtedly for the Star River Master to apologize and make amends.

Certainly!

For the Star River Master, doing so would inevitably lead to a loss of face. The Northern Frontier Alliance might be afraid, but the Star River Master himself would not be. If he truly did not wish to do so, neither the Lord of Black Lotus nor the Star Lord Liulan could force him.

"Xinghe, this matter cannot be blamed on you. It can only be said that no one expected it to turn out this way." The Lord of Black Lotus sighed softly. "However, the price to pay to let this matter pass will be quite high."

The Star River Master's obstruction of Lin Yan's departure from the Original Star crossed the bottom line of the human race. If he had succeeded, there would have been nothing to say, but if he had failed... After this battle, Lin Yan's status underwent a tremendous change, becoming an unparalleled powerhouse who shook the vast universe. This matter could not be easily let go.

Offering only one or two Top-tier Supreme Treasure clearly lacks sincerity.

"Let's offer a Peak Supreme Treasure as an apology," said Star Lord Liulan after a slight hesitation. "Xinghe is not doing this for personal gain. Since he is willing to go in person, the Northern Frontier Alliance should bear the cost."

"Yes." The Lord of Black Lotus nodded.

As Super Power, such as the Demon Race, the Zerg, and the human race, they all possess some treasures at the Peak Domain Supreme Treasure. However, this is mainly because they have the Universe's Strongest who can venture into more dangerous areas of the Cosmic Sea and then contribute some unused treasures directly to their races.

In comparison, the Northern Frontier Alliance is far less powerful. A single Peak Supreme Treasure is enough to make them feel the pinch. However, the existence of the Star River Master is very important to the Northern Frontier Alliance. At this moment, they must choose to unite.

Human territory, Original Secret Realm, the Thousand Treasures River Realm.

Wow!

Lin Yan appeared out of thin air in the main hall.

"Senior brother," Lin Yan said with a smile when he saw the golden-robed figure, "Did you summon me this time because there's been a result regarding the matter of Sky Wolf?"

"The Giant Axe has been dealt with." The Chaos City Lord smiled at Lin Yan, and with a wave of his sleeve, a stream of light flew over.

"Hmm?" Lin Yan reached out and took it. It was a palace the size of a palm, with various solidified flame carvings on it, faintly surrounded by flames. "The Heavenly Wolf Hall?"

"What is this?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.

It was clearly inappropriate for Lin Yan, the instigator, to handle the matter of demanding ransom from the Demon Race by using the "Lord Tian Lang" as a pretext. Therefore, the Great Axe Founder personally took charge of it. He had dealt with the two demon ancestors of the Demon Race for countless years and was of equal status, so it would be much easier for him to handle the matter.

Lin Yan wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of the situation.

This Heavenly Wolf Hall... Although the Lord Tian Lang was previously suppressed by Lin Yan, the Supreme Treasure has already recognized him as its master can only be obtained by either Sky Wolf himself handing it over or by killing him.

"Haha... The Heavenly Wolf Hall is a high-grade Palace Supreme Treasure the Lord Tian Lang obtained shortly after the universe was born. It has always been his greatest source of confidence in protecting his life." The Chaos City Lord laughed. "Although we are going to release the Lord Tian Lang back to the Demon Race, this Palace Supreme Treasure must be kept. His strength is not that great. Without the Heavenly Wolf Hall, he is not a threat."

"Therefore, during the negotiations with the Demon Race, the Giant Axe was never satisfied with the ransom. After the negotiations reached a stalemate, it said that it would only agree if the Heavenly Wolf Hall was included as a bonus. The Sky Wolf Palace had no choice but to hand it over."

"If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place." Lin Yan couldn't help but chuckle as he thought of the Lord Tian Lang, whose entire territory had been wiped out. Then he asked, "Did the Demon Race really offer a treasure at the peak of the Domain-type?"

This was what they had initially agreed upon.

After all, the Demon Race has a great hatred for humans. If they are not even willing to pay such a price, then releasing the Lord Tian Lang may not be worthwhile.

While Peak Domain Supreme Treasure are precious, the Lord of the Universe is the pillar of the race and cannot be easily discarded; otherwise, the cohesion of the race would collapse. It is normal to agree to such conditions.

Of course, it's unrealistic to expect an exorbitant price. If the human race demands too much, then even if the Ancestor Meng Yao and the Ancestor Zhen Yao refuse, they will still have something to say to the other universe lords of their race.

The Demon Race has more than 20 universe lords. From the perspective of interests alone, the Lord Tian Lang may not be comparable to a Peak Domain Supreme Treasure.

Not saving the Lord Tian Lang would lead to a situation where "the rabbit dies and the fox grieves," but saving him would come at too high a price, harming the common interests of all other universe lords.

"Hmm." The Chaos City Lord laughed. "Giant Axe originally wanted to acquire a top-tier flying Palace Supreme Treasure or Soul Supreme Treasure, but the Demon Race was only willing to exchange it for the Peak Domain Supreme Treasure 'Forbidden Wind Bottle,' which is relatively ordinary among Peak Domain Supreme Treasure."

Even so, no matter how ordinary it may seem, it is still Peak Domain Supreme Treasure, and if exchanged among human races, it would cost tens of thousands of Supreme Treasure Points or more.

The reason why the Chaos City Lord said he wanted to strive for the ultimate flying Palace Supreme Treasure or the Soul Supreme Treasure was because the former would be more useful to Lin Yan, while the latter would generally be of higher value.

"Peak Domain Supreme Treasure?" Lin Yan hesitated. The Forbidden Wind Bottle replacing the Sword River Luo had a limited impact on his strength, but if he were to venture into the Cosmic Sea, Palace Supreme Treasure would be a necessity.

Of course, they can also be exchanged within the clan, but the price difference for treasures of this level is very high, and even with the addition of the Heavenly Wolf Hall, it might not be enough.

"The clan's treasures are exchanged using 'contribution points,' and the most important contribution comes from the support of us, the Lords of the Universe. We, the Lords of the Universe, need to make sacrifices and shoulder the responsibility for the entire clan! Junior Brother Lin Yan, your strength within the clan is second only to Giant Axe, so naturally you are no exception. You should be able to understand this," said the Chaos City Lord.

"Of course." Lin Yan nodded.

Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.

"The clan's treasures cannot be exempted from exceptions, but given your performance and status, it's perfectly acceptable for the Great Axe Founder to exchange Supreme Treasure with you for something of roughly equal value," the Chaos City Lord laughed. "You suppressed and sealed the Lord Tian Lang, so the 'Forbidden Wind Bottle' rightfully belongs to you. You can choose to use this treasure directly, or you can exchange it with the Giant Axe for the 'Sun Boat,' Peak Palace Supreme Treasure of comparable value."

"Junior brother, what are your thoughts?"

"I'm willing to trade for the 'Sun Boat'," Lin Yan said without hesitation.

Just hearing the name, he thought it was pretty good.

"Alright." The Chaos City Lord nodded. "You can go to the Great Axe Secret Realm to find him later."

At this point, he suddenly asked, "Did the Star River Master personally apologize to you?"

"He's certainly good at taking things in stride." Lin Yan smiled. Although the Star River Master had the intention to kill him, he didn't really care.

Everyone's position is naturally like this, and there is no right or wrong to it.

A ferocious cyan-purple War Blade appeared out of thin air in Lin Yan's hand, engraved with intricate patterns and exuding a chilling sharpness. "A Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon is already quite a show of sincerity for the Northern Frontier Alliance. Moreover, once this matter spreads, the Northern Frontier Alliance will be more restrained when facing my Hong Alliance."

The Chaos City Lord nodded.

Even the Star River Master bowed his head, so the Northern Frontier Alliance naturally had to bow its head as well. He sighed inwardly. Lin Yan's battle had truly demonstrated the might of the human race. Lin Yan's growth was simply a miracle of the Primordial Universe.

"After this battle, the status of our human race will be more secure. My true form is also preparing to leave the Primordial Universe and head to the Cosmic Sea. If Junior Brother Lin Yan is planning to venture into the Cosmic Sea, you can come with me," said the Chaos City Lord. "It will be very difficult to obtain any treasures that are useful to you in the Primordial Universe. The Qi Shen Hall is one such treasure, but it will be a long time before it opens."

Lin Yan was holding a Qi Mirror Stone in his hand.

"The Cosmic Sea?" Lin Yan's eyes lit up with anticipation, but after a moment's thought, he shook his head.

"Let's wait a while longer. I gained some inspiration from the secret techniques of these three Universe's Strongest and the Star River Master during my battles with them. I have some directions that I want to try. In addition, I still need a considerable amount of time to study the Beast God Inheritance."

This is only part of the reason.

There are other reasons as well, such as not having mastered the first level of the "Myriad Tribulations" secret technique.

Lin Yan's strongest attack method right now is the rather clever Self-destruct attack, which is not suitable for use in many situations. The "Myriad Tribulations" secret technique is a combat secret technique. When it is used, it is as if Myriad Tribulations Descend, turning into World Annihilation Grinder, World Destroying. If he can master it, it can enrich his combat methods.

There is an even more important point... There really is an extremely precious treasure in the Primordial Universe, whose value far surpasses that of Peak Domain Supreme Treasure. It is very rare, but Lin Yan is not confident that he can obtain it.

The wondrous "Black Divine Wood" in the hands of the Master Yuan Ao!

Speaking of which, the fall of the Great Axe Founder in the original story was somewhat related to the Master Yuan Ao. Lin Yan had also considered killing him now. Given the remoteness of the "Yuan Ao Secret Realm," even if a rare object appeared, the Universe's Strongest in the Primordial Universe would sense it. Lin Yan was still confident that he could kill the Master Yuan Ao before other powerful beings arrived.

But--

The consequences of doing so are unpredictable.

The map of the "Qingfeng Realm" in the Cosmic Sea of Absolute Land on the Master Yuan Ao is problematic, but that doesn't mean that Lin Yan can eliminate the trouble by eliminating him in advance. On the contrary, it may bring even greater trouble.

Because the scheme was orchestrated by the three Universe's Strongest from the First Reincarnation Era, Master Yuan Ao was merely Soul Servant of one of them, Lin Yan's intervention to disrupt their plans would only draw the attention of these three schemers directly to the human race. They would be hiding in the shadows, and the Great Axe Founder might be in even greater danger.

"These are turbulent times," Lin Yan sighed inwardly. "I don't yet have the ability to break this situation. I can only deal with each move as it comes and do my best to change the original trajectory so that the Great Axe Founder will not suffer such a calamity again."

For both the tribe and the individual, the fall of the Great Axe Founder was a great regret, something he absolutely did not want to see.

Changing this could be simple, but on the surface, eliminating the need for maps or relying on one's own Clone Talent ability to verify their authenticity would remove this incentive.

It's difficult, really. The World Beast Calamity has already begun to brew, and no one can predict whether other triggers will emerge. Only by eliminating those three Universe's Strongest can we initially mitigate the risks.

"My strength is far from sufficient right now," Lin Yan thought to himself. "Only by improving myself can I take the initiative in the face of danger."

More than 10,000 years ago, he was powerless against the Lord of the Universe. Now, he is almost invincible in the Primordial Universe. This is what strength brings.

"Alright." The Chaos City Lord only mentioned it casually. It didn't matter when Lin Yan went to the Cosmic Sea, as long as there was a direction for improvement.

After leaving the Original Secret Realm, Lin Yan did not rush to the Great Axe Secret Realm, but instead went to the Chaos City of the Initial Universe first.

He donated the Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon that the Star River Master had offered as an apology, the Heavenly Wolf Hall, and some of the Supreme Treasure he had obtained from killing the four Lords of the Universe to his clan.

The Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon was exchanged for 1150 Supreme Treasure Points, the Heavenly Wolf Hall was exchanged for 820 Supreme Treasure Points, and the three Top-Tier Supreme Treasure Weapon were exchanged for 240 Supreme Treasure Points, totaling more than 2,000 Supreme Treasure Points. Only then could the clan exchange for a Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon - Dingkun.

He has now reached a bottleneck in both his secret techniques and divine power, so naturally he needs to improve his Supreme Treasure as well.

"Whether it's the Jun Tian Fist Armor or the Sword River Luo, their power is only equivalent to ordinary Peak Supreme Treasure Weapon. However, the Kun-fixing Sword is completely comparable to the weapons of the Star River Master and Senior Brother Chaos, second only to the Ultimate Supreme Treasure." Lin Yan thought to himself, "I usually use the Kun-fixing Sword, and I will use the King of Gods Yuan Embryo 'Xuanyuan Sword' in critical moments. When I am no longer worried about being exposed, I can directly transition to it."

There aren't many areas he can improve: Peak Palace Supreme Treasure, Soul Supreme Treasure, and Top-tier Domain Supreme Treasure. Secondly, he mainly values weapons and armor.

Although there is room for improvement in the Azure Lotus Divine Armor, given Lin Yan's divine body's defensive capabilities and the enormous supply of divine power, the pressure in this regard is not great. The effect of improving the weapon will be more significant.

After revisiting the Great Axe Secret Realm and retrieving the Peak Palace Supreme Treasure, the "Sun Boat," Lin Yan returned to the Divine Kingdom.

In the vast and boundless divine kingdom, a massive gilded ship floated in the depths of the void. This ship was nine stories high, with divine light faintly visible inside and countless secret patterns flowing within. The aura of the entire ship was incredibly strong, radiating endless crimson golden light, like flames burning fiercely.

The ship's hull is adorned with various ancient and mysterious carvings, gleaming with gold, sublime and magnificent, as if representing some kind of primal worship.

Rumble...

As the ancient ship began to move, the surrounding temperature soared rapidly, as if the sun were blazing down and scorching the earth. The ship itself seemed to form a giant sun, illuminating the world.

"What a magnificent Sun Boat." Lin Yan stood at the bow of this magnificent ship. With the Life Imprint etched into it, the entire Sun Boat seemed to merge with him. He could control the entire interior of the Sun Boat and felt an instinctive sense of intimacy with it.

Peak Palace Supreme Treasure are extremely precious, and almost all of them can only be possessed by Tier 5 Universe Master or above. Even the Universe's Strongest rarely possess Ultimate Supreme Treasure Palace, except that the Peak Palace Supreme Treasure they use are of better quality than Lin Yan's.

"And this, the Kun-fixing Sword." A battle sword appeared in Lin Yan's hand.

"Clang!"

As the Kun-fixing Sword was slowly drawn from its sheath, it was revealed that the sword was neither gold nor iron, neither stone nor jade, and was engraved with countless pictographic characters, making it look quite beautiful.

"The Final Descent," Lin Yan said softly.

Screech...

The sound of swords echoed through the void.

The incredibly concentrated sword light suddenly contracted and collapsed in mid-air, all its power exploding and concentrating at the center, forming a black void that devoured everything.

"Very good." Lin Yan smiled slightly.

Suddenly--

"Hmm?" Lin Yan flipped his hand and took out a Black Token. It felt slightly warm. There were only two characters on the Black Token, which were composed of countless secret patterns.

Ancestor God!

"A message from the Ancestor God Cult Sect?" Lin Yan glanced at the Ancestor God Token and was immediately surprised. He noticed some words appearing on the token.

"The Guardian Divine Lord of the Ancestor God Cult is quite interesting."

"Let's go then."
