Starlight Converges, the Selection of the Four Universe Lords!

"Star Crystal Lord!"

Tiga moved like lightning and light, quickly arriving at the location he had agreed upon with Star Crystal Lord.

At this moment, Star Crystal Lord's eyes were tightly shut, and the brilliant starlight that once adorned his divine body had gradually dimmed.

"What happened here?"

Seeing the scene before him, Tiga's expression changed instantly. Although Boundless Heavenly Pool was fraught with danger, given Star Crystal Lord's strength, even if he were outmatched, he shouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

Yet, the current situation clearly indicated that Star Crystal Lord had been through a major battle, resulting in damage to his divine body.

"Lord of Radiance! You've come!"

Star Crystal Lord opened his eyes, his expression tinged with a hint of exhaustion.

However, the dim starlight on his body began to brighten once more.

"You are..."

Tiga asked tentatively.

Star Crystal Lord did not hide anything and spoke directly: "It was Lord Fenglei of the God Eye Clan!"

"Lord Fenglei?"

Hearing this name, Tiga was secretly shocked.

The God Eye Clan had cultivated in the Universe Sea for three reincarnation eras, and their race possessed countless powerhouses.

This Lord Fenglei was one of them. Although he could not compare to top-tier combatants like Lord Wuhun or Lord Jingyan, he was still an elite among them. Having fused the two Path of the Beast God of wind and thunder, his combat power was at the peak of the fourth tier.

It seems the God Eye Clan is playing for real this time!

Tiga thought to himself, his face showing a look of concern.

"The God Eye Clan is likely searching for me everywhere right now. I've implicated you. If things become impossible, you should just..."

Star Crystal Lord had already prepared for the worst, but for Tiga, as long as several True Gods didn't attack simultaneously, anyone else was just a paper tiger.

It was just that... he didn't want to expose his true strength because of an outsider.

"I understand!" Tiga agreed readily, and at the same time, a Water Source Crystal Core appeared in his hand.

"This item can help you recover your divine power; consider it a testament to our friendship!"

As Tiga spoke, he tossed the crystal core in his hand to Star Crystal Lord.

"Many thanks!"

Star Crystal Lord didn't waste words. At worst, he would have to pay a price, but compared to his long lifespan, such wealth meant little.

"No need. There isn't a faction in the Universe Sea that doesn't know about our relationship. If I appear in the same place as you, it's inevitable that the God Eye Clan will come looking for trouble with me! That would give me a headache as well!"

Tiga did not hide his concerns.

Excluding the races and factions of the first reincarnation era, the relationships between other factions in the Universe Sea, while not exactly harmonious, were not those of lunatics.

Looking at those powerhouses of the first reincarnation era nearing their final limit, they were basically all madmen.

Given his relationship with Star Crystal Lord, it was hard to prevent these people from taking action, especially since the two of them were currently in the same region.

Ten years passed in a flash, which, for powerhouses like them, was nothing more than the snap of a finger.

Meanwhile, in the Primal Universe, a scene of great bustle was unfolding...

At this moment, in the Virtual Universe, within a magnificent hall.

All the high-level members of the human race and the Hong Alliance were gathered together.

In the very center of the hall, where there were originally only two black thrones, a brand-new black throne now stood.

Engraved upon it was a giant axe; this was the seat of Giant Axe Founder.

"Congratulations, Giant Axe Founder!"

"Congratulations, Giant Axe Founder!"

"Congratulations, Giant Axe Founder!"

Except for Peng Gong, Chaos, Peak, and Woz, the rest of the human powerhouses offered their blessings to Giant Axe Founder.

"Alright, enough with the pleasantries. The main purpose of calling this supreme meeting is to discuss the distribution of the newly acquired territories!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had been sufficiently built up, Giant Axe Founder stopped wasting time and got straight to the point.

"The territory of four star sectors is enough for our human race to establish four universe kingdoms! Everyone here knows their importance! Therefore, this meeting will first deliberate on the candidates for the four universe kingdom lords!"

"I wonder if the Founder has anyone in mind?"

The one who spoke was a Universe Master who had advanced only within the last hundred epochs of the human race, hailing from the Thunder Dragon lineage of the eight royal bloodlines of the Dragon-man race.

He was also the Universe Master with the least seniority.

Hearing this, the Giant Axe Founder sat upright on his black throne, his gaze sweeping across the forty-plus Universe Masters present before finally resting in the direction of Ancestor Suihuo.

"Senior Suihuo." The voice of Giant Axe echoed through the great hall, "On behalf of the human race, I invite you to take the position of a nation lord."

Ancestor Suihuo slowly rose to his feet. This ancient existence, who had weathered every storm from the birth of the human race to the present, had a complex light flickering in his eyes.

His crimson beard and hair drifted slightly in the light and shadow of the Virtual Universe, and the battle robe inscribed with ancient flame patterns on his body stirred without any wind.

"I thank the Giant Axe Founder for your kindness, but..." The hesitation was already evident in the eyes of Ancestor Suihuo.

"At my age, I should no longer occupy such an important position."

"Senior Suihuo protected the human race through its most difficult times. When it comes to being virtuous and respected, you are the undisputed choice for the human race.

Furthermore, the four star sectors this time are all located at the junction between the human race and the three other races. If a powerhouse is there to guard them...

Therefore, I ask that Senior Suihuo not decline!"

Hearing the words of Ancestor Suihuo, Giant Axe also repeatedly refused, and he laid out his considerations.

It was true that the strength of Ancestor Suihuo was not among the very top tier within the human race, but his status was in no way inferior to that of him, the strongest.

"But... sigh! Very well! This old man will do his utmost!"

Hearing the words of Giant Axe, even if Ancestor Suihuo was reluctant, he still accepted.

The many Universe Masters had no objections either; after all, given the status of Ancestor Suihuo, even they, as Universe Masters, could not help but respect him.

One must know that back in the day, neither Light Ancestor nor Original Ancestor had not received help from him.

Even though the two of them possessed powerful talent, without a strong backing, the rise of the human race would have taken who knows how many more years.

"Since that is the case, the candidates for the other three nation lords..." Giant Axe once again cast his gaze toward the others.

The great hall fell into a brief silence.

The four newly acquired star sectors came from the Machine Race, the Bug Race, and the Monster Race, respectively.

Among them, the three star sectors ceded by the Monster Race were the largest in area and the richest in resources, but their geographical location was also the most perilous.

They were situated exactly at the border between the territories of the human race and the Monster Race, and future friction was inevitable.

As for the star sector from the Machine Race, although the Machine Race had begun to withdraw over these years, they would inevitably leave behind some of their technological creations, and the value within...

"I recommend Venerable Phantom to guard one of the universe nations!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd. Everyone followed the sound, only to see that the person sitting there was none other than the human race's master of treasure refining, Lord of Wisdom Light Hikari!

"Venerable Phantom?"
