Earth's Outcome, Cang Yan

Within the Human Territory, in the Taichu Secret Realm.

Under the endless Chaos currents, Yang Wu and the Lord of Longxing stood side by side in the main hall of the Lord of Longxing' temple.

"The teacher summoned me here today, presumably because the discussion among the higher- Human Race regarding the ownership of Earth has reached a conclusion!"

"I just wonder how much initiative I'll have after revealing my strength as Top Universe Overlord and my determination to protect Earth?" Yang Wu thought to himself.

At this moment, Yang Wu no longer felt the unease he had felt thousands of years ago when he first learned that Earth would be exposed. After all, even based on his experience in the Time Simulator, the outcome of the handling of Earth's ownership was not bad.

Of course, if possible, Yang Wu would naturally want to take more initiative; otherwise, there would be no need for him to kill Venerable Shi Huo's Clone.

"After all, in the original story, many powerful Human Race only determined that Earth's value was in no way inferior to Peak Domain-type Supreme Treasure after alien immigrants had settled on Earth for a period of time!"

Of course, if one's status and strength are insufficient, then no matter whether the Earth is comparable to a Peak Domain-type Supreme Treasure or a Top-tier Supreme Treasure, it cannot be protected.

As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure!"

If a Universe Level being possesses a treasure coveted even by Immortal God, how could they possibly protect it once it's exposed?

The strong will never give the weak the right to bargain. If they do not choose to trade, they will be forcibly deprived, or even directly killed and robbed.

Even in Yang Wu's previous simulations, as his strength increased, the outcome of the handling of Earth's ownership continued to change.

"With my current talent and comprehension, it's probably highly possible for me to retain full ownership of Earth!"

"The Earth ultimately belongs to Earthling!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"Yang Wu!"

Just then, the Lord of Longxing finally spoke, "I never imagined that you could possess the strength of Top Universe Overlord in such a short time!"

"Teacher, it's because I've been cultivating in the Time Palace that I've made such great progress!" Yang Wu replied with a smile.

"Such a speed of progress is unprecedented even in the history of our Human Race!" Even now, the Lord of Longxing still marvels at it.

The Lord of Longxing was well aware that Yang Wu had been using the Time Palace to accelerate his cultivation.

He even already knew about Yang Wu's trip to the Giant Axe Supreme Miniature Universe of the Giant Axe.

Even so, what can be accomplished in thousands of years?

Even with a 100-fold Time Acceleration, it would only amount to a few hundred thousand years.

In such a short time, other geniuses would struggle to break through to the Universe Venerable realm, but Yang Wu directly possessed the strength of Top Universe Overlord.

"Yang Wu, come, sit down and talk!" With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Longxing immediately presented a stone table and chairs in front of the two of them, with fine wine and delicacies laid out on the stone table.

Yang Wu sat down next to the Lord of Longxing and, seeing the delicious food on the table, knew that his teacher, the Lord of Longxing, must take the upcoming events very seriously.

Immediately, the Lord of Longxing looked at Yang Wu and said with utmost solemnity, "As you know, the reason I summoned you here is to discuss the ownership of Earth!"

"Master, I understand!" Yang Wu nodded immediately upon hearing this. "However, even if Earth has some special characteristics, it is still my home!"

"As the cradle of our Earthling race, I am unwilling to relinquish ownership of Earth!"

The Lord of Longxing looked at Yang Wu.

Their eyes met.

The Lord of Longxing sighed inwardly, marveling at the importance of Earth's ownership to his disciple, as evidenced by the fact that the disciple had directly killed the Clone of the Venerable Shi Huo.

Especially since Yang Wu, who had always respected him immensely, said this directly when facing him, it further demonstrated his disciple's clear attitude.

"What if our race were willing to exchange precious Supreme Treasure for a portion of the Earth's ownership from you?" the Lord of Longxing couldn't help but ask.

"This disciple still refuses!"

Yang Wu shook his head and said seriously, "Teacher, if I were to exchange ownership of Earth for Supreme Treasure, how would that be any different from someone who betrays their homeland?"

Although Yang Wu is currently lacking in rare Supreme Treasure, he would never sell out all ownership of Earth because of this.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Longxing continued to persuade him, "Yang Wu, do you know that even Top Universe Overlord like the Venerable Zushu would need countless years to obtain a precious Supreme Treasure!"

"Although you possess astonishing strength now, you haven't cultivated for very long. Obtaining Supreme Treasure is not as easy as you imagine!"

In the eyes of the Lord of Longxing, his disciple was good in every way, except that his growth process had been too smooth.

He bestowed upon him Supreme Treasure before he went to the Outer-Region Battlefield, and after joining the Ancestral God Religion, he obtained the First Treasure of the Treasure Land...

That is why his disciple has never encountered a situation where he lacks Supreme Treasure.

But now that he has become a Top Universe Overlord, the resources Yang Wu has are barely enough to arm even a single main Main Combat Clone, let alone the three Clones that were born after fusing with the Star Bead!

"Disciple understands!" Yang Wu nodded earnestly.

He was very familiar with what Lord of Longxing had said.

After all, in the simulation, his experience was not much different from that of other ordinary strong individuals.

Just like Venerable Shi Huo, even after accumulating billions of years and receiving the blessing of the Lord of Void Gold, the treasures on his body are at most worth only a dozen or so Supreme Treasure Point!

As for the powerful individuals from other strong clans and ordinary clans, they possess even fewer treasures!

However, for Yang Wu, it was precisely because of the existence of the Time Simulator that he had no need to worry about this at all.

As long as he chooses a few simulation experiences at will, whether it's the soon-to-be-opened Primitive Star or the even more vast Universe Ocean, as long as his strength is sufficient, obtaining the Supreme Treasure won't be too difficult!

Immediately, Yang Wu solemnly said, "But as the strongest among the Earth Human Lineage, I am regarded as their leader by countless Earthling. Naturally, I cannot let down the Earthling who trust me. I must lead the Earthling to rise again in this vast universe and become even stronger!"

Yang Wu bowed slightly. "Therefore, in my heart, Earth is absolutely not something that can be traded!"

Upon hearing these words, a strange light flickered in the Lord of Longxing's deep, ocean-like eyes.

In fact, although at the Human Race Supreme Council, many Universe Masters had already decided that Yang Wu's opinion could not be forced.

Before meeting Yang Wu, the Lord of Longxing was quite confident about the matter, because the conditions he offered were very high and suitable for Yang Wu at his current state.

But...

To the Lord of Longxing's surprise, Yang Wu, who clearly lacked even the most Supreme Treasure, rejected his suggestion without hesitation.

"Is he unwilling to disappoint his compatriots who trust him?" The Lord of Longxing sighed inwardly, and at the same time, he admired Yang Wu even more.

After all, the universe is full of powerful beings, and in the long and dangerous process of growth, there are countless instances of people resorting to any means to obtain treasures.

The treasures that Human Race could offer in exchange for ownership of Earth would be enough to drive countless super beings in the universe mad.

But to avoid disappointing those who trust them, should they simply abandon them?

Most people would admire Yang Wu's choice, but while they admire him, most would still choose to exchange for treasures!

After all, in the vast universe, only a small minority of people value their hometown as much as Yang Wu does.

"He values his hometown and his compatriots. This kind of mentality... as long as my Human Race treats him sincerely, he will naturally regard my Human Race as the target he protects!" The Lord of Longxing nodded slightly in his heart.

Today, Yang Wu was able to directly refuse his proposal to exchange Supreme Treasure for ownership of Earth for the sake of Earth Human Lineage. In the future, he will be able to refuse other temptations for the sake of the Human Race!

"Some people were worried that my disciple would end up like that Yan Emperor, but now it seems that such a thought was completely unfounded!"

The Lord of Longxing sighed inwardly, "This is the kind of mindset a strongest member of a race should possess! The Original Ancestor was like this, and the Giant Axe is like this now!"

"And this disciple of mine may very well become the new leader of our Human Race in the future!"

Although the Lord of Longxing is already extremely powerful, he is ultimately lacking in comprehension. The probability of him becoming the Universe Supreme Being in the future is very low.

Now, however, he placed all his hopes and expectations on Yang Wu.

After a moment's careful consideration, the Lord of Longxing continued, "Yang Wu!"

"In fact, the higher-ups of our Human Race have already reached a consensus on the handling of the ownership of Earth: we will not force you, and we will completely respect your opinion!"

"If you wish to retain full ownership of the Earth, that is also possible!"

"Haha, it's done!" Yang Wu was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"But..."

Unexpectedly, the Lord of Longxing changed the subject and continued, "Yang Wu, you are well aware that our Human Race is not only comprised of my Virtual Universe Company, but also has four other top-tier forces, such as the Giant Axe Fighting Arena!"

"While everyone is willing to respect your opinion, the teacher still hopes that you can relinquish a portion of the Earth's ownership to achieve a better balance of interests among all parties! If you are worried that Earthling will be affected as a result, we can certainly establish some rules to regulate others!"

"After all, you are destined to become a member of the upper echelons of our Human Race, and may even become a new leader. It is very necessary for you to maintain good relations with other powerful individuals!"

The Lord of Longxing looked extremely solemn.

At this moment, he was no longer negotiating with Yang Wu on behalf of the Human Race; he was simply a teacher showing concern for his disciple.

Hearing this, Yang Wu was deeply moved.

Because he knew very well that the reason the Lord of Longxing continued to persuade him was entirely out of concern for him.

As for the issue of ownership of Earth, it is no longer so important to the Human Race, but his own attitude is crucial.

Thinking about this, Yang Wu felt that he could make some adjustments.

"Teacher, I have come up with a solution that satisfies both sides!" After a moment of contemplation, Yang Wu came up with a suitable solution by combining the experiences of Earthling in the original story.

The Lord of Longxing's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Tell me!"

At this moment, the Lord of Longxing could already see the change in Yang Wu's attitude. In his view, regardless of the ownership of Earth, as long as Yang Wu's attitude changed, it was a very good thing.

"This disciple can provide a small area of Earth for other life forms in the universe to inhabit!"

Yang Wu slowly said, "The special nature of Earth is precisely because it allows the life forms it gives birth to to have somewhat special souls!"

"If other forces need it, they can send people to Earth to reproduce!"

As Yang Wu spoke, he projected a map of the Earth onto a virtual screen in mid-air.

Pointing to the Australia Continent, Yang Wu said earnestly, "This disciple will transform this continent into a Public Region, providing a space for extraterrestrials to nurture life!"

"However, any alien who comes to Earth to cultivate life must pass our Earthling test. Only those who pass the test are allowed to live on Earth!"

In the original story, weren't Earthling often bullied by aliens?

Now let's turn it around!

To get to Earth, you must first satisfy the Earthling!

"That's a great idea!" the Lord of Longxing said with a smile.

As for the size of the Australia Continent, he didn't care at all, since what he needed most right now was just Yang Wu's attitude.

"However, since you, Yang Wu, have decided to exchange a portion of Earth's ownership, is there any precious treasure you desire?" the Lord of Longxing continued to ask.

"No need!" Yang Wu said earnestly, "If the race wants to contribute some resources, then use them all to nurture the Earth Humans!"

Yang Wu's idea was very simple.

Although he eventually opened the Australia Continent as Public Region, he would never exchange it for any precious treasures.

Otherwise, wouldn't we be the ones selling out all ownership of the Earth?

"That's good!" The Lord of Longxing nodded with a smile, "I believe that when the Earth Human Lineage Human Race up in the future, they will certainly not disappoint us!"

To the Lord of Longxing, aren't Earthling and other humankind all part of the Human Race?

As for those descendants who are particularly valued, they are free to go to Public Region of Earth to have offspring if needed!

"Alright, I'll assign someone to handle this matter later!" the Lord of Longxing continued, "However, there's something even more important I need to tell you!"

"Please begin, teacher," Yang Wu said respectfully.

"Hahaha!" The Lord of Longxing suddenly laughed, then asked, "Yang Wu, I could easily discuss the matter of Earth's ownership with you in the Virtual Universe, but I still summoned you here. Do you know Wei He?"

"This disciple does not know!" Yang Wu replied respectfully. "Could it be because Master attaches great importance to this matter?"

"Hahaha!" The Lord of Longxing continued to laugh.

Wow!

Immediately, the Lord of Longxing waved his hand lightly, and a stream of Flowing Light flew towards Yang Wu's side.

Yang Wu quickly reached out and caught it. Looking down, he saw that what he held in his hand was a teardrop-shaped gemstone crystal that emitted a reddish light. It was engraved with intricate and ancient patterns, and the entire crystal contained a strange and alluring power.

"This is an extremely high-grade Soul-type Supreme Treasure, named 'Cang Yan'," the Lord of Longxing explained.

"Cang Yan?" Yang Wu was startled. "Could it be for me?"

He had inadvertently seen information about Cang Yan when he was exchanging for Supreme Treasure in the Race Treasury.

Cang Yan, High-grade Supreme Treasure of the soul type, requires 580 Supreme Treasure Point to exchange.

It's important to know that even the most common high-level Soul-type Supreme Treasure are generally only worth two or three hundred Supreme Treasure Point...

However, this Cang Yan is one of the better ones, with an astonishing exchange price of 580 Supreme Treasure Point.

Of course, if it's Top-tier Supreme Treasure, the exchange price will be even higher, requiring thousands of Supreme Treasure Point!

"Teacher..." Yang Wu looked at the Lord of Longxing.

"This is a life-saving gift bestowed upon you by your clan, Yang Wu!"

The Lord of Longxing said earnestly, "You have demonstrated your strength this time. Although few people have seen it, the Alien Race may have discovered it!"

"Once those Alien Race learn that you have already possessed the strength of Top Universe Overlord, they might invite the Universe Supreme Being, skilled in Soul Attack, to attack you! Therefore, after discussion, our race has unanimously decided to bestow this 'Cang Yan' upon you for self-defense!"

"Your will is now extremely strong, and combined with this High-grade Supreme Treasure 'Cang Yan,' even the Universe Supreme Being is skilled in Soul Attack cannot Soul Control in an instant! With time to recover, you can directly self-destruct your Clone!"

"This..."

Yang Wu never imagined that he would receive a gift from his clan before he was even assassinated.

It's important to know that even Luo Feng in the original story was only granted Soul-type Supreme Treasure by the Human Race after his assassination attempt by the Xu Zhen Demon God failed.

Ultimately, all those words boiled down to one sentence.

"Thank you very much, Master!" Yang Wu said with utmost sincerity.

"With this Supreme Treasure on you, you'll be much safer even when you venture out into the world!"

The Lord of Longxing said earnestly, "Your strength is already great enough. I look forward to the day you become Universe Master. Go!"

"Yes." Yang Wu bowed and then left the temple of the Lord of Longxing.
