Conditions
The field was silent.
The Universe Master present were either lost in thought or reminiscing about the Years. No one seemed to notice the City Lord of Chaos's sudden outburst of tears, for everyone shared his overwhelming emotion. After all, they had all accompanied humanity since its humble beginnings, witnessing its rise to power firsthand. Thus, a moment of silence fell over the scene.
After a long while, once everyone had recovered from their emotions, the City Lord of Chaos continued in a low voice, "After this battle, the revival of the Human Race is an unstoppable trend, but we must not be complacent!"
"Although a situation of one superpower and many strong powers has been formed, the checks and balances of the great powers are still a sword hanging over the head of our human race. Before the race has fully digested all its resources, everyone must remember to act cautiously!" The City Lord of Chaos said solemnly.
"Um."
"Yes, keeping a low profile is best! We've just crippled this Three Races Allied Army; if we act rashly now and push other races to the opposite side, it would be a losing proposition!"
Everyone nodded in agreement; they all understood the meaning of "human nature." If one race becomes too dominant, other races, whether for self-preservation or to maintain balance, are likely to unite and fight together. But what the human race fears most right now is the alliance of multiple races, and if it really comes to that, it will undoubtedly hinder the development of the entire race.
They also understood how fortunate the Human Race was to have won this battle. If Lu Yan'an hadn't appeared out of nowhere, single-handedly suppressing nearly forty Universe Master Three Races the three races and successfully holding off the Zhen Yao Zu, the outcome of this battle would still be uncertain!
"Tian Xin deserves immense credit for our clan's great victory this time." The City Lord of Chaos looked at Tian Xin, "We should all toast Tian Xin."
"Yes, this time it's all thanks to Tian Xin."
"Tian Xin".
Everyone raised their glasses and looked at Lu Yan'an. They had all seen it and knew how great Lu Yan'an's contributions were... Leaving aside providing the inheritance for now! Just the fact that he single-handedly suppressed nearly 70% of the Universe Master from the three major races was an incredibly terrifying feat!
Moreover, Lu Yan'an was engaged in a fierce battle with Zhen Yao Zu in the Primal Universe at that time. It should be noted that Zhen Yao Zu was a genuine Universe Supreme Being! For a Universe Master to suppress a Universe Supreme Being in a head-on battle is an extremely explosive event no matter where it is!
Lu Yan'an also raised his glass. "Speaking of this war, I still had some shortcomings in my planning. If Peng Gong and Teacher hadn't suddenly entered a state of enlightenment and started to break through, this battle should have been won much more easily!"
"What's so lacking about that? Darkness and Peng Gong being able to break through to the strongest level is a tremendous good thing for our human race from any perspective! I would actually prefer if more members of our race could break through at that time!" The Lord of Void Gold laughed heartily.
Everyone present immediately echoed this sentiment.
"Void Gold is right!"
"Hahaha!"
"Come on, cheers!"
"Come."
Lu Yan'an could only smile and agree to each of their requests.
Seeing this, the City Lord of Chaos smiled and said, "Alright, let's talk about something else. This time we captured 41 Universe Master from Three Races. According to the agreement reached with the Machine Race and the Monster Race, we will release one Universe Master from each race every ten thousand epochs!"
"Chaos!" Upon hearing the City Lord of Chaos's words, the leading Lord of Dragon Walk spoke with some confusion. "Since we have captured nearly seventy percent of the Universe Master the Three Races, why not wipe them all out in one fell swoop? Wouldn't that be a permanent solution? Releasing those Alien Race now doesn't seem to maximize the benefits for our human race?"
Among the Human Race, there are quite a few Universe Master who hold this view, and everyone is puzzled as to why the City Lord of Chaos and the Giant Axe Founder would agree to such a clearly unprofitable deal!
"You underestimate the Universe Supreme Being!" The Giant Axe Founder sighed upon hearing the crowd's questions. "In the short term, annihilating or Soul Control of all Three Races' Universe Master seems to maximize our benefits, but that's only after we've identified the Universe Supreme Being!"
"The Universe Supreme Being are not as simple as you think!" the City Lord of Chaos added. "Have you considered what these four Universe Supreme Being from the Three Races will do once we have truly annihilated all 41 Universe Master and they have no more scruples?"
Upon hearing the City Lord of Chaos's words, everyone present was taken aback. Then, as if they understood something, their expressions turned grim!
Seeing the obviously grim expressions on everyone's faces, the City Lord of Chaos continued, "It seems you've all realized that while we have indeed wiped out these 41 Universe Master, the four strongest are not! We can easily annihilate these prisoners, but the four of them can naturally go to the Universe Ocean to hunt down our Human Race and even the Universe Master of the Hong Alliance!"
"Moreover, the Zerg Queen is the strongest being who possesses the most powerful Supreme Treasure Palace! Even if Darkness and Peng Gong complete their breakthroughs, and we, Giant Axe, and Tian Xin— the five strongest beings—we are not entirely confident that we can capture the Zerg Queen who possesses the Empress Palace! At that time, the Universe Master of our Human Race will have to leave the Universe Ocean for a very long time!"
"However, there's no need for everyone to worry too much!" the Giant Axe Founder reassured them. "What our Human Race lacks most right now is time, so Chaos and I, after discussing it, specifically limited the time for the hostages' return! Over ten thousand epochs Years; I believe that within that time, our Human Race will be able to fully digest the inheritance brought by the Tian Xin!"
"When that time really comes, what harm is there in them all going back?"
"Giant Axe and Chaos are right!" After listening to their explanation, the Ice Peak Master nodded in agreement with great seriousness. "Since our Human Race is now able to suppress these 41 Universe Master, after more than 100,000 epochs, Darkness and Peng Gong should have also broken through and entered the ranks of the strongest. With the backup of the Combined Strike Secret Technique, even if all the other forces in the entire Primal Universe were to unite, our Human Race could easily deal with them!"
"That being said, we cannot let these prisoners have it easy! I propose that we squeeze every last drop of value out of these guys during this period..."
The Universe Master immediately offered their ideas one by one.
A simple yet effective solution was quickly implemented.
Firstly, given the still unclear situation in the Primal Universe, these numerous captured Universe Master must be gathered together and kept under guard. Since the Initial Universe vast, it's imperative to place almost all Universe Master there. After all, if they were all scattered outside... unless they were guarded by the strongest combatants, there would be a risk of backlash!
All the Supreme Treasure of the captives will be confiscated by the Human Race! Even the territories under the command of each Universe Master within the various races will become the territory of the entire Human Race! Each race will send some Universe Venerable to take over and drive away the Alien Race that originally settled and multiplied in their territories. The Universe Venerable mainly play a warning role. They can handle ordinary dangers, but if a real big problem arises, a group of Universe Master Universe Venerable will directly attack from the human base.
The Human Faction immediately began making arrangements. Those Universe Master who had already been captured and whose lives were controlled by humans naturally had no objections and were all happy to comply! Especially after hearing the agreement reached between their race and the human side, they were overjoyed. Originally, they all thought that falling into enemy hands this time meant their complete demise. Some Universe Master who had Clone even self-destructed the moment they regained consciousness!
No more, no less—only three successfully self-destructed, which can be considered Human Race's sincerity in keeping its promise. They were also the first batch of Universe Master released by Human Race!
