One of the most remote places in the universe.

In the endless starry sky, a pair of twin stars revolve around each other, and not far from those twin stars, there is a rather huge landmass floating, occupying a spacetime span of several light-years.

On that vast continent, there lived many creatures called the 'Three-Headed Race', each with three heads.

The Three-Headed Race is one of the billions of races in the vast universe. They have bodies similar to the Tianlang lineage of the Monster Race, except that they all have three heads.

The Three-Headed Race has a rather ferocious appearance, but his personality is extremely gentle. Although the clan is protected by the Lord of the Universe Master, they still chose to live and thrive in an extremely remote place in the Primal Universe, and they rarely have conflicts with other forces.

Of course, it would be a grave mistake to think that the Three-Headed Race is weak and easily bullied because of this. When the Three-Headed Race gets angry, they are extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a streak of Flowing Light appeared in the distant starry sky and then fell directly into the very center of this continent inhabited by the Three-Headed Race, where a magnificent golden palace stood.

The Flowing Light landed and instantly transformed into a burly figure, dressed in a blood-red battle armor, his entire body seemingly cast from metal.

"Lord of Three Fires!" The Metal Lifeform's icy gaze fell directly upon the golden palace before it.

Call!

A Three-Headed Race, tens of thousands of kilometers tall, instantly appeared before the Metal Lifeform. He then smiled and said, "Hengxian of the Machine Race, my friend, I am truly delighted that you have come to see me in person!"

"Sanhuo, I've come to see you this time because I have something important to discuss!"

The Lord Hengxian looked at the Lord of Three Fires and solemnly said, "This matter concerns the life and death of your Three-Headed Race, and even the fate of billions of races in the Primal Universe. We have a deep friendship; you even gave me that Top-tier Supreme Treasure on the Primitive Star. So, as soon as Father God gave the order, I immediately came here!"

"Is the survival of my Three-Headed Race at stake?"

The Lord of Three Fires looked at the Lord Hengxian, and then slowly said, "Are you referring to the Human Race's desire to expand its territory?"

"You've heard about this too?" The Lord Hengxian looked at the Lord of Three Fires.

"Is it more than just hearsay?" The Lord of Three Fires shook his head and said, "That Human Race has also sent envoys to my Three-Headed Race, demanding that my Three-Headed Race hand over half of its territory!"

"What?"

Upon hearing these words from the Lord of Three Fires, the Lord Hengxian couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

It's important to understand that while the Three-Headed Race is a powerful group, their nature dislikes conflict, and their territory is located in an extremely remote area, making them only slightly stronger than some ordinary clans.

The Human Race didn't even spare these Three-Headed Race is utterly inhuman and ruthless.

However, upon thinking of this, a hint of joy appeared on the face of the Lord Hengxian.

Because the Lord of Three Fires naturally disliked fighting, he didn't know how to persuade the other side to join forces against the Human Race. But now the Human Race had already delivered the reason to him, truly courting their own destruction.

"Lord of Three Fires!" Lord Hengxian continued in a deep voice, "You know the greed of the Human Race without me having to tell you. For countless ages, they have already wiped out countless races in their pursuit of more territory!"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Three Fires nodded inwardly.

In fact, it wasn't just the Human Race; the Machine Race to which the Lord Hengxian before him belonged had also annihilated many other races in their quest to expand their territory.

However, such things are far too common in the Primal Universe. In fact, the territory where the Three-Headed Race resided did not originally belong to them.

The Lord Hengxian continued, "The Human Race has only just acquired some of the inheritances of Ancient Civilization, yet they are already demanding that billions of races in the universe hand over more than half of their territory. What will happen when they become even stronger?"

"I've considered this matter too! But with the Time Lord among the Human Race, capable of easily killing the Universe Supreme Being, there's simply no way we can resist them!"

"Alright, enough of that. Come and try my homemade Green Fire Wine!"

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Three Fires conjured an exquisite wine cup before the Lord Hengxian. The wine inside was a pale gold color and emitted a fragrant aroma.

Lord Hengxian raised his wine cup and solemnly said, "Although the Human Race is powerful now, if all the other forces unite, we can still crush them! I came to see you, Lord of Three Fires, because I want you to join our ranks to resist the expansion of the Human Race and even drive Human Race out of the Primal Universe!"

"Oh?" The Lord of Three Fires showed a hint of surprise on his face, then asked with even greater doubt, "Completely drive the Human Race out of the Primal Universe? Do you have a way to deal with that Time Lord?"

Keep in mind that the Time Lord is capable of easily slaying the Universe Supreme Being.

Moreover, unlike other super powers, the Three-Headed Race does not have the Universe Supreme Being guarding them; the only true powerhouse is himself.

If they were to truly anger that Human Race, even without the Time Lord and the Giant Axe Supreme, the Chaos City Leader and the others alone would be enough to completely annihilate the Three-Headed Race.

"Hmph!" Lord Hengxian snorted coldly, then said, "I admit that the Time Lord was very powerful in the Universe Ocean, but this is the Primal Universe!"

"Even if the Time Lord is powerful, he can only unleash the strongest power of the sixth rank at most! If our billions of races unite, any of the Universe Supreme Being can easily hold him off!"

"Can we only hold off the Time Lord?" A hint of disappointment flashed across the Lord of Three Fires' face. "Then will we never be able to venture into the Universe Ocean again? If that's the case, how will we ever reach the level of the Universe Supreme Being?"

"Take a look at this!" With a flick of his wrist, the Lord Hengxian produced a transparent crystal sphere that shimmered with a faint, crystalline light.

The Lord of Three Fires reached out and took it, a wisp of divine power seeped into it, and countless messages immediately flooded into his mind.

"This, this is..."

After sensing this information, the Lord of Three Fires was completely stunned. "Could it be that your Machine Race has already seized the Ancient Civilization Inheritance from the Human Race?"

It turned out that the transparent crystal sphere contained a wealth of information Ancient Civilization Inheritance, and the systematic cultivation experiences within it were even more astonishing to the Lord of Three Fires.

Of course, many crucial parts were missing from those inherited messages, which only made him more eager for the complete information.

"What you are seeing now is the message Ancient Civilization Inheritance that can help the Universe Master break through to the realm of the Universe Supreme Being."

The Lord Hengxian slowly said, "This information was provided by the Purple Moon Holy Land, with the purpose of targeting the Human Race in this Primal Universe. Of course, the information you see only accounts for a fraction of the complete message."

"Now, the Machine Race, the Monster Race, the Zerg Race, the Northern Territory Alliance, the Prison Clan, the Crystal Race, and even countless other races from the Primal Universe have all gathered together to form a super alliance besieging the Human Race!"

The Lord Hengxian solemnly said, "As long as you, Lord of Three Fires, join our camp, you will receive half of the inheritance information. After the matter is successful, you will receive the remaining inheritance information!"

"With the guidance of these inherited messages, even if you no longer venture into the Universe Ocean, you still have a great chance to break through to the realm of the Universe Supreme Being."

"Lord of Three Fires, will you hand over your clan's territory to the Human Race and live forever in Human Race shadow, or will you join us in attacking the Human Race and share the guidance and inheritance that will lead you to the Universe Supreme Being? Make your choice!"

The Lord of Three Fires stared intently at the Lord Hengxian, never expecting that his friend would bring him such astonishing news.

He knew without a doubt that if he refused, this super alliance would likely not let his Three-Headed Race off the hook, and the allure of the inheritance information was also immense...

However, the deterrent power of Human Race is also incredibly astonishing.

"Even if we manage to break through to the level of the Universe Supreme Being, we're probably still far from being a match for that Time Lord, aren't we?" the Lord of Three Fires continued to say worriedly.

"As long as we don't leave the Primal Universe, we don't need to worry about this problem!"

Lord Hengxian said earnestly, "At that time, our many powerful individuals will unite together. As soon as a powerful Human Race appears, powerful individuals from all races will immediately rush to their aid!"

"As long as you can become the Universe Supreme Being, your Three-Headed Race can continue to live for three more Reincarnation Era."

Lord Hengxian said earnestly, "By then, the situation in the Universe Ocean might have changed. Perhaps the Time Lord will perish due to an accident, or create a new Holy Land Universe and never be able to appear in the Universe Ocean again!"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Three Fires couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The Time Lord will perish due to an accident is certainly nonsense, but the possibility of him creating Holy Land Universe is quite possible.

The two Universe Masters of the Purple Moon Holy Land and the Eastern Emperor Holy Land have never appeared in the Universe Ocean. Although the Lord of Three Fires does not know the reason, it is still good news.

As for the other powerful Human Race, even the strongest among them, the Giant Axe Supreme, their deterrent effect on the crowd is much smaller.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Three Fires immediately and solemnly said, "I am willing to join!"

For the Lord of Three Fires, giving up half of his clan's territory was indeed a humiliating thing.

The inherited information from that Ancient Civilization was also his hope for further advancement, and of course he wanted to obtain it.

Compared to that, the inability to travel to the Universe Ocean in the future is a minor matter.

After all, even if he ventured into the Universe Ocean, he could at most obtain some Supreme Treasure. To seek guidance on how to break through to the Universe Supreme Being was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Moreover, if he can become the Universe Supreme Being, he can also give the Three-Headed Race a higher status in the universe.

"Sanhuo, congratulations on making the right choice!"

Lord Hengxian laughed heartily, "However, I did not bring the remaining inheritance information with me; you will need to go to the Demon Race Territory to retrieve it yourself!"

Although the Machine Race has extremely advanced technology, it is ultimately not as convenient as the Virtual Universe of the Human Race.

Therefore, to ensure the safety of the transmitted message, it is naturally impossible for a Universe Master to carry it with him.

"That's natural," the Lord of Three Fires nodded and said.

Meanwhile, this scene unfolded in various corners of the Primal Universe.

The Machine Race and others, who had already united, sent their strongest members to win over the powerful members of those scattered races, using every means imaginable, from coercion to enticement.

Because of Yang Wu's presence, the Human Race naturally stopped trying to win over other races as it did in the original story, which led to even more races joining the attack on the Human Race.

Of course, there are some exceptions.

For example, those Alien Race that had long joined the Hong Alliance, even though they hadn't been able to obtain the Ancient Civilization Inheritance from the Human Race, most of them were still willing to fight for the Human Race.

There are also some extremely cautious groups that are unwilling to provoke the Human Race, nor can they afford to offend the Machine Race and others who have already united. Therefore, they can only migrate as a whole before this storm arrives, heading to various Cosmic Secret Realm to survive.

Although this resulted in the loss of territory, it ensured the continuation of the ethnic group.

If we wait until the turmoil subsides in the future, perhaps we will have a chance to return to the vast universe and survive again.

There were even a very small number of smaller factions that were optimistic about the Human Race, and they directly agreed to hand over half of their territory, thus joining the Human Race.

However, within the Ancestral God Religion, the original primary power in the Primal Universe, the situation was quite different.

The Primal Universe, the Ancestral God Secret Region.

Amidst the colorful Aurora, temples appeared and disappeared, with the Ancestral God Palace, where the Three Ancestral Gods resided, located at the very center.

Ancestral God Palace, the Three Ancestral Gods also fell silent.

The Ancestral God Religion can be said to have gathered the elites of billions of races in the Primal Universe, so its information network is naturally incredibly efficient.

Whether it was news of the Human Race sending envoys to billions of races or the alliance of forces such as the Machine Race, the Three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Religion learned of it immediately.

"This is absolutely insane!"

The Young Ancestral God looked at the two Double-Faced Ancestral God and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "I never expected that the Human Race would have such a grand ambition, wanting to take more than half of the Primal Universe into their hands!"

"Even if my Ancestral God Religion Sect has the backing of the Original Universe Origin Will, I doubt they would dare to do this!"

"Now that we've offended billions of races in the Primal Universe, the Human Race is about to face a crisis!"

"No, you're wrong!"

The Aged Ancestral God looked at the Young Ancestral God and shook his head, saying, "Don't forget, back then, after the Time Lord killed King Zhenjia, besides obtaining two Supreme Treasure of the Highest Order from the Original Universe Origin Will, he also made a condition!"

"Condition?"

The Young Ancestral God was slightly taken aback, then seemed to have thought of something and said directly, "That condition that allows one to use their full power in the Primal Universe?"

"Indeed!" The Double-Faced Ancestral God nodded, then said seriously, "At first, I thought the Time Lord's condition was nothing special, but only now do I understand the Time Lord's profound foresight!"

"Although there's only one chance, with the Time Lord's current strength, if he unleashes his full power, he could probably still kill many powerful figures. The Father God of the Machine Race, the Monster Ancestor Zhen, the Dream Monster Ancestor, and others might even perish in this turmoil!"

"By then, no one will be able to stop the rise of the Human Race!"

"Yes, the Alliance Camp are unaware of this news, and they'll likely suffer a great loss!"

The Aged Ancestral God couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a pity about the Ancient Civilization Inheritance of the Purple Moon Holy Land. If the three of us could obtain it, we might all be able to break through to the realm of the Universe Supreme Being!"

At this point, even the Aged Ancestral God couldn't help but show a look of envy on his face.

Although the three of them could unleash power comparable to the Universe Supreme Being in the Primal Universe, they were not, after all, the true Universe Supreme Being.

"Or..." the Young Ancestral God couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't we inform the Alliance Camp that the Time Lord can unleash his full power once in the Primal Universe, in exchange for the Ancient Civilization Inheritance in their possession?"

"Moreover, this would make it much harder for the Human Race to defeat the Alliance Camp, and our Ancestral God Religion might be able to benefit from both sides!"

"No!"

"No!"

The expressions of Double-Faced Ancestral God and the Aged Ancestral God changed simultaneously.

The two exchanged a glance, and the Aged Ancestral God spoke first, "The fact that the Time Lord possesses such abilities is probably known only to the three of us in the entire Primal Universe. If the Alliance Camp find out, the Time Lord will soon know that it was the three of us who leaked the information!"

"Offending the Time Lord wouldn't be a good thing!"

"What's there to be afraid of?" the Young Ancestral God couldn't help but say, "The three of us never ventured into the Universe Ocean anyway. Even if the Time Lord is incredibly powerful, he won't pose any threat to us! Instead, we can use this opportunity to obtain the Ancient Civilization Inheritance and break through to the realm of the Universe Supreme Being!"

"What happens after this Reincarnation Era ends? At that time, the Original Universe Origin Will will no longer grant the three of us any preferential treatment!"

The Aged Ancestral God said coldly, "Moreover, even if we become the Universe Supreme Being, we will be completely useless against the Time Lord!"

"Indeed!" the Double-Faced Ancestral God echoed, "At that Time Lord could easily kill the Universe Supreme Being. If we offend him, even becoming the Universe Supreme Being would be utterly useless!"

"Moreover, the Time Lord is the Protector God Lord of our Ancestral God Religion. This expansion of territory has not affected the interests of our Ancestral God Religion at all. Wei He should we provoke him?"

"What about the Ancient Civilization Inheritance?" the Young Ancestral God said unwillingly. "Even ordinary Universe Master can obtain it, are the three of us even inferior to them?"

"Haha, you're still too impatient!"

The Double-Faced Ancestral God laughed and said, "You should know that the Duan Donghe Inheritance is something even the Purple Moon Progenitor desperately wanted, which shows how precious it is! Compared to that, the Ancient Civilization Inheritance in the Purple Moon Holy Land is nothing!"

"And the Galactic Galaxy Lord received the Duan Donghe Inheritance is, after all, the Protector Venerable of our Ancestral God Religion. We still have a great chance of obtaining a portion of the Ancient Civilization Inheritance!"

"Isn't now a perfect opportunity?"

The Double-Faced Ancestral God said earnestly, "The three of us have no clan to rely on, and there is no conflict of interest between us and the Human Race! If we take the initiative to help the Human Race fight against the Alliance Camp, we should be able to obtain a portion of the Duan Donghe Inheritance from Human Race!"

"Moreover, the most important thing is the Time Lord! When the Time Lord opens up a new Holy Land Universe in the future, we might even have the chance to enter it and exist eternally!"

Upon hearing this, both the Young Ancestral God and the Aged Ancestral God' eyes lit up.

Actually, they had considered this matter before, but found it quite difficult.

But times have changed.

If in the past the Time Lord only had the opportunity to create a Holy Land Universe, now he is certain to create one; the only difference is the time it will take.

"The Double-Faced Ancestral God is absolutely right!"

The Aged Ancestral God smiled and nodded, saying, "In this turmoil, our Ancestral God Religion must resolutely stand on the side of the Human Race. In this way, we can also consider it as forging a good relationship with the Time Lord."

Just as the Three Ancestral Gods were discussing how to contact and help the Human Race.

In the Virtual Universe, within the Human Race Sacred Temple, Yang Wu and the Giant Axe Supreme sat facing each other.

"Giant Axe, is there something you need from me?" Yang Wu asked with a smile.

"I'm contacting you Yang Wu, because there's something quite important going on!" the Giant Axe Supreme said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Yang Wu couldn't help but become interested.

"Is that so!"

The Giant Axe Supreme laughed and said, "The great turmoil our Human Race has stirred up in this Primal Universe has naturally attracted attention from all sides. Not long ago, the Old Beast God of the Star Beast Alliance, as well as the Shihua Island Master, the Monster Beast Progenitor, and Universe Supreme Being contacted me, hoping to obtain a portion of the inheritance from our Ancient Civilization Human Race. As long as we obtain the inheritance, they will help our Human Race to deal with those forces that have already united, allowing our Human Race to truly dominate the Primal Universe!"

"Heh heh, what a clever scheme!"

Yang Wu smiled and said, "What do you think of that Giant Axe?"

"I think we could try agreeing to their offer!" the Giant Axe Supreme said slowly. "These people don't need any territory, and there's no conflict between them and our Human Race. If we can use some of our heritage to win them over, it would be worthwhile!"

"What?" Yang Wu couldn't help but be surprised, because in the original story, the Human Race did not agree to this condition.

"Yang Wu, what are your thoughts?" Seeing Yang Wu's expression, the Giant Axe Supreme immediately asked.

"Aren't you worried Giant Axe if they become too powerful in the future, they might threaten our Human Race?" Yang Wu asked doubtfully.

"Hahaha, Yang Wu, you're overthinking it!"

The Giant Axe Supreme laughed and said, "I have complete confidence in you. With you in our Human Race, even if those people become stronger in the future, they are not a threat at all!"

"So that's why it was me!" Yang Wu suddenly realized.
