Four Hundred and Ninety-Nine: Billions of Years
The Zerg Queen's words struck the Dream Demon Ancestor like a thunderclap!
"Yes! What our Three Races lack most right now is combat power at the level of Universe Master. If we could accept the Universe Master power of these smaller races, wouldn't that perfectly fill our gaps?" Dream Demon Ancestor said excitedly.
"That's not all!" The voice of the Black Sphere also came from the side. "The Human Race now occupies nearly half of the entire Primal Universe. Their power is so immense that it's not just us who are worried! Now, even the strongest lone wolves are being courted by our alliance!"
"Our demands are very simple: unite to protect ourselves! If the current Human Race is not curbed from developing, there may be no place for our race to exist!"
In the Seventh Era, a new alliance— the Freedom Alliance —was established, led by the Monster Race, the Zerg, and the Machine Race Three Races, and incorporating numerous powerful individuals including the Northern Territory Alliance and the Nine Domains Alliance. Its immense power and influence temporarily rivaled that of the Human Race in the Primal Universe.
It was during this era that Lu Yan'an, who was adventuring in the Universe Ocean, encountered the First True God for the first time. Out of curiosity about his own strength, Lu Yan'an attempted to challenge this nominally strongest being in the Universe Ocean.
This was an earth-shattering battle!
There are no bystanders in this battle.
The fact that Lu Yan'an fought the First True God is remarkable. It should be noted that the First True God was already the strongest in the Universe Ocean before Lu Yan'an rose to power (not counting the suppressed Yuan Zu). With the accumulation of experience over nearly three Reincarnation Era, his combat strength was incredibly powerful.
The outcome of this battle was unknown to the outside world; all they knew was that such a battle had taken place.
After this battle, the Shenyan Race immediately befriended humans, and the First True God also became a rare friend of Lu Yan'an.
What the outside world didn't know, Lu Yan'an himself knew: in reality, that battle should be considered a loss for the First True God!
In terms of direct offensive power, the First True God of the Shenyan Race, "True Lord Shenyan," was completely overwhelmed by Lu Yan'an. Even though the True Lord Shenyan's divine power was stronger than Lu Yan'an's, and his Divine Body also had an advantage, all of these were rendered equal under the power of Lu Yan'an's secret technique, which subtly exceeded the tenth-order level!
Of course, if they clashed several times, and the True Lord Shenyan withstood several of Lu Yan'an's attacks head-on, Lu Yan'an would certainly win. But the True Lord Shenyan isn't stupid! He could easily leave using the supreme Supreme Treasure Palace.
"With my current foundation, I can easily kill True God, but First True God, protected by Supreme True Treasure... I can't keep him alive. I'm still missing a Supreme True Treasure of the sealing type!" Lu Yan'an thought to himself. That battle made him truly realize one of his current shortcomings.
Without the help of Supreme True Treasure of the sealing type, it is destined that Lu Yan'an will have a hard time keeping the Universe Supreme Being who possesses Supreme True Treasure of the palace type! Perhaps the Universe Master could keep him by using soul methods, but True God is a completely different world!
Therefore, in terms of the situation, the two were indeed evenly matched.
Furthermore, this challenge was merely Lu Yan'an using the True Lord Shenyan to establish his authority; he never intended to put either side in an awkward position. Thus, after this battle, the Human Race of the Third Reincarnation Era became an unassailable force in the entire Universe Ocean, even vaguely referred to as the Third Holy Land Universe!
Once word spread that Lu Yan'an was capable of fighting the True Lord Shenyan, the newly formed "Freedom Alliance" of the Primal Universe instantly fell silent! Although it had undergone an epic buff, it was nothing compared to Lu Yan'an's formidable achievements. Now everyone knew that since Lu Yan'an was so powerful, no one could stop him if he wanted to do something to the Freedom Alliance!
In the fifty-eighth era, Star Lord Beichi finally honed his will to the Void Level within the Black-Veined Stone Pillar space. To celebrate his breakthrough in willpower, Star Lord Beichi even gave special guidance to the group of powerful individuals who were honing their willpower within the Black-Veined Stone Pillar space.
In the first millennium, a joyous event filled Lu Yan'an with immense happiness: the newly formed Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy had surpassed the initial Hadean Eon and entered the Archean Eon at an unprecedented speed. In his eyes, the newly formed Earth was a giant ball of magma, with volcanoes erupting everywhere on its surface. Due to the scorching heat of the surface, water vapor rising from the ground met the cold air in the upper atmosphere and formed rain.
This rain lasted for millions of years, gradually forming the nascent oceans on Earth. Meanwhile, the lightning Water Phase catalyzed elements such as nitrogen and hydrogen into amino acids, organic molecules essential for primitive life.
In the 10,030th Era, although the Human Race occasionally produced a Universe Master, no new strongest being had ever emerged. But in this era, the third Universe Supreme Being was finally born: the True God Dragon Walk!
The fact that the Lord of Dragon Walk had broken through to become True God was indeed unexpected and surprised even the strongest members of the human race. However, the surprise was only temporary, because in terms of seniority, the Lord of Dragon Walk was arguably the oldest Universe Master among the Human Race. With the accumulation of countless Years and the guidance of his inheritance, taking this step was actually within everyone's expectations!
In the 13,402nd era, Lu Yan'an, who had been immersed in comprehending the laws, finally grasped the key to the secret technique and successfully created the first eleventh-level secret technique in the Universe Ocean! Its combat power officially surpassed the limit of True God, breaking the status quo that there had never been a secret technique above the True God level in the entire Universe Ocean!
Perhaps because Lu Yan'an's previous accumulation was too solid, he comprehended the barrier above the True God for the first time. In less than five eras, his secret technique level broke through again. First, he broke through from the Eleventh Order Secret Technique to create the twelfth-level secret technique. Then, he broke through to the thirteenth-level level in succession until he reached the bottleneck of the thirteenth to Fourteenth Order secret technique. Only then did the speed of breakthrough slow down.
In the 19,000th era, Lu Yan'an's senior brother also broke through the threshold of Universe Master. At this moment, Feng Yunruo, the former leader of the Yuan Planet lineage and the Human Emperor, became the second Universe Master the Yuan Planet lineage!
Feng Yunruo, a low-profile genius of the Yuan Planet lineage whose brilliance was almost completely overshadowed by Lu Yan'an, became a Universe Master in just 20,000 epochs, driven by his terrifying willpower and relying on the resources provided by Lu Yan'an. Even without Lu Yan'an's help, his breakthrough to become Universe Master was almost inevitable.
At this moment, the number of human Universe Master has plummeted to 16. It's not that the human race isn't working hard; it's simply that there are many powerful individuals who have broken through to the True God realm, but few who have broken through from the Universe Venerable to the Universe Master. As a result, the number of Universe Master has naturally decreased.
From then on, the Yuan Planet lineage had two Universe Masters, Lu Yan'an and Feng Yunruo, but not a single Universe Venerable! It was as if the entire clan's fortune had been seized by these two Universe Master Lu Yan'an and Feng Yunruo!
In the 109,000th epoch, the newly born Earth clearly transitioned from the Hadean Eon to the next stage of development— the Archean Eon! From this period onward, Earth's rocks began to exist stably and be preserved! Bacteria and lower cyanobacteria also quietly appeared, primitive life began to emerge, and the evolution of life entered its initial stage.
In the 503,200th epoch, the newly born Earth entered its next stage of development— the Proterozoic Eon! The Proterozoic Eon was an important period of mineral formation, with major minerals including iron, gold, uranium, manganese, copper, boron, phosphorus, and magnesite. It was during this stage that the accumulation of minerals in the primordial ocean formed islands, marking a period of land formation.
The 742,900th epoch. At this time, Earth had finally developed to the point where life could emerge, and naturally entered the Phanerozoic Eon! During this period, through numerous crustal movements and climate changes, the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere continued to develop, everything gradually converging towards the blue planet we know today! Until the first life appeared on the entire planet, everything about Earth seemed to return to normal!
