Human Predicament and Hidden Worries

The Monster Race high command's move was simple: they ordered this high-level Venerable to launch an offensive against the human race's No. 0718 SSS-level God Base.

It was the very God Base garrisoned by Venerable Yanxin.

It wasn't just the Monster Ancestor!

The other two major powers among the four great races also issued orders for an all-out assault against it.

In an instant, the atmosphere across the entire Outer-Domain Battlefield plummeted to freezing point.

"Yes, Lord of Thunderlight! I will do everything in my power to protect the human race!"

Inside God Base No. 0718, Venerable Yanxin spoke within the Virtual Universe to the Lord of Thunderlight, who was currently rushing to provide reinforcements.

"First and foremost, you must preserve your own life!" the Lord of Thunderlight said.

"I know..." Venerable Yanxin replied, though his eyes were filled with desolation.

An SSS-level God Base might sound like something grand and impressive, but in reality, it was nothing more than a mobile supply station comparable to a heavy treasure.

Such things, under the intervention of Noah and the one known as Lord of Wisdom Light Hikari, were not particularly valuable to the human race.

But Venerable Yanxin was different; he was a Universe Venerable who had ascended through his insights into the path of space.

One only had to look at his title to know how high his comprehension of the Laws of Fire and Gold was.

His strength had reached the pinnacle level among Universe Overlords, and he was only one ordinary supreme treasure away from becoming a top-tier Universe Overlord.

Yet, a figure such as him was now trapped in this tiny supply station... for the human race, this was an absolutely unbearable loss!

Seeing the expression on Venerable Yanxin's face, the Lord of Thunderlight felt heavy-hearted, but he still spoke:

"The Light Ancestor has already fallen, and the Original Ancestor is currently suppressed by the Primal Universe. With your strength... hold on, I will arrive very soon!"

"I know."

Venerable Yanxin said.

It wasn't that the Lord of Thunderlight didn't want to arrive quickly; it was that the three races were being truly excessive.

The God Kingdom Teleportation anchors of the human race within hundreds of light-years of the Outer-Domain Battlefield had all been destroyed by these fellows.

This meant that if the human race wanted to reach the Outer-Domain Battlefield, they had to traverse hundreds of light-years across the universe.

Even with the Lord of Thunderlight possessing the top-tier palace supreme treasure, the Thunderlight Palace, it would still take a significant amount of time to arrive.

Moreover, it wasn't just Venerable Yanxin who was trapped on the Outer-Domain Battlefield.

In the nine current Outer-Domain Battlefields, no fewer than a thousand Universe Venerables from the human side (including the Hong Alliance) were being besieged.

Among them, Universe Overlords alone accounted for seventy percent, and the rest were all elites among high-level Universe Venerables.

Even the Lord of Ganwu, whom later generations would jokingly call the "Universe's Biggest Debtor," was among them.

However, unlike in the original history, the current Lord of Ganwu was already a Universe Overlord.

Although his strength was not equal to Venerable Yanxin, he was still a combatant of Overlord rank.

Yet now, these super-experts of the human race were all trapped in one God Base after another.

The situation was extremely critical!

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the Land of Light, within the Time Secret Realm.

Noah's true body sat cross-legged at the highest level of the Plasma Spark Tower.

At this moment, he was still immersed in comprehending the inheritance carried by the Plasma Spark Tower.

Of course, this did not mean he was completely unaware of everything happening in the outside world.

On the contrary, as an expert of the same rank as the Original Ancestor who led the human race toward glory, his authority over the Virtual Universe was extremely high.

He was clearly aware of the arrangements the Chaos City Lord had made for humanity.

Furthermore, he would inadvertently optimize areas where there were slight loopholes.

"Teacher!"

A human youth with the appearance of an Earthling arrived before Noah.

"Tiga?" Noah opened his eyes, and upon seeing the figure, a trace of surprise flickered in his eyes.

The person who arrived was none other than Noah's first disciple, the fifth-order Universe Master hidden in the shadows of the human race, the "Shining True Lord" Tiga!

Unlike Peak and Woz, who were transformed into the Light Clan by the energy of the Plasma Spark Tower, Tiga was a pure human!

This was not to say the other two were not human, but they were originally of the Ultra Clan.

Tiga, however, was the first person to achieve the Ultraman form entirely through his own efforts on the path of cultivation for the acquired Giant of Light that Noah had developed.

He is also the most talented among the disciples of Noah.

"Shouldn't you be out in the Universe Sea exploring with the others from the darkness? Why have you returned?"

There was a hint of confusion in Noah's tone.

In his arrangements, Tiga and his three major clones were supposed to be exploring the Universe Sea, hiding their human identities just as the Lord of Darkness did in the original timeline.

But now...

"Teacher, I intend to return this time to break through to the level of a True God!"

Tiga said.

As soon as these words left his mouth, black lines appeared on Noah's face, and he couldn't help but scold:

"You brat, do you have any idea how much effort I spent finding that cultivation inheritance regarding the path of divine power for you?

Your current gene level has barely reached seventy thousand times; you are still a long way from the ten-thousand-fold milestone.

Once you reach your limit, you could become an absolute powerhouse among True Gods the moment you break through, with strength rivaling a Void True God.

And yet you... are you trying to be the death of me?"

That's right, aside from the help the cultivation path of the Giant of Light provides for the sublimation of divine body energy.

Tiga's cultivation path also includes the path of divine power, and he has already traveled quite a distance along it.

If he wanted to, he could become a True God-level powerhouse at any moment.

However, in pursuit of the absolute ten-thousand-fold divine body, he had suppressed himself at the level of a Tier 5 Universe Master for thousands of eras.

"But..."

A look of hesitation was clearly visible on Tiga's face.

"I know what you are worried about, but am I not still alive and well?

Furthermore... my dark clone has already reached the True God level; even if all the True Gods in the entire Universe Sea were to join forces, they would not be my match.

What else are you worried about?"

Noah said. He knew his disciple's thoughts all too well, but...

If it weren't for the fact that after reaching the True God level, he discovered a mysterious inheritance within the Plasma Spark Tower from an unknown source.

After discussing it with Yuan, and because he had already established a formidable reputation, Noah simply faked his death to escape and hid in this secret realm to comprehend the inheritance.

Not many people know about this; only the absolute top brass of the human race know a thing or two.

Besides them, only the consciousness of the Universe Origin Laws knows, but it has never been one to discuss such things with other races.

Therefore, no one else knows the news that Noah is still alive.

However, his dark clone—a True God-level cloning technique he derived while comprehending the inheritance—also enjoys a formidable reputation in the Universe Sea.

"But your plan with Senior Yuan!"

"In about another million eras, I will be able to sort out the last remaining fragments of this, and by then, there will be nowhere in the universe that I cannot go.

Besides, do you think Peak and the others are just sitting around doing nothing?

The human race has developed to this point under the protection of Yuan and myself, and has almost lost its drive to forge ahead; this is not a good thing for a race.

Let this incident serve as a trial and test for the race, whether it be for you or the other little ones.

All of you are to stay safely in the Universe Sea. Without my instructions, you are not to return to the Primal Universe!"

"This... yes!" After Tiga finished speaking, his figure gradually dissipated.

"Hmph, brat!"

Seeing this, Noah naturally knew that this was merely a clone of Tiga.

Although it was formed from divine power, it was realistic enough to pass for the real thing.
