"It's the aura of a Universe Master!"
The one who spoke was Giant Axe!
He was also the human race's most likely candidate to break through to become a Universe Master.
"Can't they hold back any longer?" asked a Universe Master known as Lord of Red Flame.
The human powerhouses' eyes were filled with gravity.
After all, Original Ancestor had only recently been suppressed, and they were still within the Primal Universe.
Those Alien Race Universe Masters were only at the sixth tier at most.
And among those present alone, four Universe Masters had sixth-tier combat strength.
"It isn't his true body! It's only an avatar!"
This time, it was Peak who spoke. Among the entire human race, aside from Yuan and Noah, he had always been at the forefront in his mastery of the Space-Time Law.
Combined with his powerful soul cultivation, he quickly sensed that the visitor wasn't the true body of an Alien Race Universe Master.
But even a Divine Power Avatar was enough to warrant their attention.
"As expected of Noah's successor. You can even sense the details of my aura!"
The figure slowly emerged from the ripples in space.
He looked like a tall human man.
Of course, don't get the wrong idea!
This man wasn't a member of the Human Race. He was...
"Beast Ancestor?!"
One of the human powerhouses exclaimed in surprise.
Most of the Universe Masters, however, remained remarkably calm.
Why should they give a second glance to a stray dog driven out of his own race?
"You little whippersnappers sure are a proud bunch!"
The Beast Ancestor wasn't offended by their reaction. After countless years of wandering, he had grown used to such looks.
His greatest regret was not killing Original Ancestor before he rose to power.
His second greatest regret was failing to see through Quake Monster Ancestor and Dream Monster Ancestor's treacherous ambitions, allowing them to drive him out of the Monster Race he had founded himself.
"Beast Ancestor, you're not welcome here. Get lost!"
Giant Axe roared, his temper flaring.
It was no wonder he was furious. Before Original Ancestor broke through to become a Universe Master, the Monster Race under the Beast Ancestor had often treated the Human Race as food.
Countless exceptional human powerhouses had been killed by them.
Even after the Beast Ancestor had been forced to leave the Monster Race, his persecution of the Human Race hadn't eased one bit.
And that was just one example: three hundred thousand eras ago, in the Universe Sea, the Beast Ancestor had killed a human Universe Master.
The survival of the fittest might be the law of the universe, but that didn't mean the Human Race could simply let go of its old grudges.
Yet the Beast Ancestor wore a beaming smile, seemingly unmoved by Giant Axe's furious insults.
"Giant Axe, the Human Race doesn't have a Universe Master now! And you still dare to defy me?
"Do you believe that the moment you set foot in the Universe Sea, I could make sure you meet your end for good?"
"You..."
"That's enough!" Peak cut Giant Axe off, then turned to the Beast Ancestor. "Beast Ancestor, what brings you here?"
"As expected of Noah's successor. Straight to the point!" The Beast Ancestor's face twisted into a menacing grin at Peak's question.
"My purpose is simple. I'm here to... recruit the Human Race!"
"What?" Lord of Red Flame cried out.
Even Chaos City Lord and the others darkened their expressions.
"Why?" Peak, on the other hand, remained as calm as still water, showing no hint of emotion.
The many powerhouses present held nothing but contempt for the Beast Ancestor before them.
That went doubly for the few who could rival Universe Masters within the Primal Universe.
And yet... he wanted to recruit the Human Race?
"If I said it was for revenge, would you believe me?"
The Beast Ancestor answered, amusement in his eyes, along with a flash of resentment he didn't want anyone to notice.
At his words, they finally understood his true purpose.
He wanted to use the Human Race's name to take revenge on the Monster Race he himself had built!
But...
"Why should we submit to you?"
This time, the speaker was the leader of the Gold Clan branch of the Ultra Clan, one of Noah's disciples: Lord of Radiance Woz!
Of all Noah's disciples, he was one of the most domineering. Because of that, he had long been one of the Human Race's main forces in its wars against other races.
His strength was also on par with Chaos City Lord, Giant Axe, and Peer.
With his Mechanical Flow Supreme Treasure, Kingdom Star, even Universe Masters had to steer clear of him within the Primal Universe.
What's more, among the Human Race, four others of comparable strength had already revealed themselves.
In other words, even with Noah in seclusion and Yuan suppressed, the Human Race's position in the Primal Universe was practically beyond threat.
The Beast Ancestor's expression was a sight to behold.
But Woz clearly had no intention of letting him off easily. He gave a scornful smile and continued:
"In other words, what makes you think you have what it takes to make us submit?"
"You..."
"That's enough. You can get lost now!"
Woz didn't wait for the Beast Ancestor to finish speaking. With a wave of his hand, he erased the Divine Power Avatar from the universe.
Most of the human powerhouses who witnessed this showed no reaction at all.
The few who did were the powerhouses who had only recently become Universe Masters, and their reaction was envy of Woz's strength.
As for the rest... sorry, they felt nothing!
From the very beginning, they had never intended to submit to the Beast Ancestor.
"All right, let's return to what we were discussing."
After a few seconds of silence, Chaos City Lord was the first to break the deadlock.
"Lord of Thunderlight!"
"Here!"
Lord of Thunderlight promptly answered Chaos City Lord's call.
"You're the fastest among the Human Race. Take seventy-two Universe Venerables with you to the Outer-Domain Battlefield and coordinate reinforcements.
"I'll send Lord of Red Flame and Wind Wheel with the follow-up legions!"
Chaos City Lord made a series of arrangements for what was to come.
Though they were all Universe Masters, among the Human Race that had developed under Noah's influence, there was still a clear hierarchy.
Given the current situation, Chaos City Lord could issue orders to almost every Universe Master except the few who had reached the fifth tier.
The same authority belonged to the others as well.
But as the Human Race's chief steward, Chaos City Lord was clearly more skilled at handling such matters.
"Understood!"
At once, Lord of Thunderlight left the meeting and headed for the Outer-Domain Battlefield with the Universe Venerables under his command.
Several Universe Masters in charge of providing support also left.
Though the Human Race had every confidence in its high-end combat strength against the other major races, it couldn't rule out the possibility that they might use underhanded tactics against its Universe Masters.
That made choosing who would meet them especially important.
"Now?"
The Monster Race Venerable who received the message from his race could hardly believe his ears.
That's right—the Monster Race was making a move!
