Clan Contraction

"Senior Brother, what did the teacher say?"

On the outskirts of the Universe Boat, one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands in the Universe Sea, Belial, another of Noah's disciples, asked Tiga, who had just come back to his senses.

"Just as we expected!" Tiga replied with a shake of his head.

"The teacher really is... But this will definitely be a chance for the entire Human Race to undergo a thorough transformation!"

Belial showed no surprise at this.

Of Noah's nine direct disciples, Tiga was undoubtedly the strongest.

Even Giant Axe, publicly acknowledged as the Human Race's strongest fighter, wouldn't be a match for Tiga.

In fact, most of the strongest beings in the Universe Sea wouldn't withstand a single blow from Tiga fighting at full strength.

But... they still couldn't make a move.

Take Belial, for instance. His current identity in the Primal Universe was the Blood Shadow Palace Master, an existence as infamous as the North Prison Lord.

Of course, both were notorious!

He had offended nearly every race, including the Human Race.

That said, his targets had been the unruly members of the Hong Alliance, as well as some human powerhouses who had secretly been subjected to Soul Enslavement.

By now, he had made enemies everywhere in the Primal Universe.

When Noah sent them out, he knew that their public identities could never allow them to stand with the Human Race through thick and thin.

Of course, if they chose to reveal themselves, that was another matter.

"That's right! With the two teachers protecting us, the race has been at peace for far too long.

"Our internal conflicts have even spread to the Universe Venerable level.

"Rather than slaughtering one another and sabotaging our own people, we might as well have a sweeping purge. When the time comes...

"By the way, how are the people you've gathered in secret? Has anything gone wrong?"

Tiga suddenly changed the subject.

"Don't worry!" Belial said confidently.

Unlike his fellow disciples, Belial was not only powerful in his own right, but also a formidable soul master.

He commanded a powerful legion of enslaved Alien Race members, which was the foundation of the Blood Shadow Palace, an assassination organization renowned throughout the Primal Universe.

His forces included five Top Universe Overlords, who played a key role in carrying out some of Noah's secret plans.

"Even so... never mind. As long as they can provide low-level fighters, then all this effort won't have been in vain," Tiga said.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother. With the teachers' and Hikari's technology, that kid Tregear won't let anything go wrong," Belial said.

"I hope so," Tiga replied helplessly.

In truth, for those who knew the full story, Original Ancestor's suppression was hardly a problem.

But some of their plans and preparations were far more important. If the Human Race lost them, the damage would be much greater than Original Ancestor's suppression.

For instance, what the other factions didn't know was that the Human Race had already fully deciphered the Machine Race's core, the Evolution Heart.

Once the right moment came, they could follow the path the God Eye Clan had once taken and rule over an entire Reincarnation Era.

Meanwhile, throughout Human Territory, the Human Venerables and Immortal Level powerhouses were being deployed by Chaos City Lord to relocate the Human Race.

Nearly all the Universe Masters were standing on the front lines of the racial war.

There had already been several battles between Universe Masters. They had suffered some losses, but not a single Universe Master had fallen.

"Aurora Venerable, the Cold Light Secret Realm lies just ahead!"

A King Level powerhouse from the Red Clan reported to a towering figure.

"Is that so?"

This tall Human Venerable, with two horns on his head, came from the Silver Clan.

He was the son of Lord of True Light, the Space Garrison's Captain, and Silver Glow Venerable Lord, one of the Human Race's top Universe Overlords.

He was also one of the Human Race's supreme powerhouses. During the current crisis, his father had sent him to oversee the relocation of the Human Race.

"Begin the relocation at once. Give top priority to the genius candidates in the secret realm!"

"Yes!"

The King Level powerhouse immediately got to work after receiving the order.

Aurora Venerable's consciousness, meanwhile, sank into the Virtual Universe.

"Father!"

Aurora Venerable greeted his father.

"Taro, I've told you many times: during work, address me by my title!" Lord of True Light said sternly. "How is the relocation going?"

"Yes, Captain! We've completed the relocation of three large galaxy clusters, and are now working on the last secret realm.

"At the current pace, we should need another hundred years," Aurora Venerable reported.

"Members of the Galactic Silver Cross Legion have sent out a distress signal. You're the nearest Universe Overlord in the Guard Team.

"As Captain, I order you to go support them immediately and ensure the safety of our Silver Cross Legion members!"

"Yes, Captain!"

At once, Aurora Venerable set off toward the coordinates.

This was one of the Ultra Clan's innate abilities. By turning into light, they could reach the speed of light with their physical bodies and enter the Dark Universe.

Meanwhile, the one who had sent the distress signal to the Space Garrison was a Universe Venerable from the Silver Cross Legion.

He was facing three Monster Race Venerables who had reached Human Territory through covert means.

"Haha! I never expected to run into a Silver Cross Legion Venerable in such a remote corner. What a pleasant surprise!"

The speaker was a Universe Venerable from the Dream Phantom Snake Clan, one of the Eighteen Royal Clans of the Demon Race.

The Dream Monster Ancestor, Meng Tu—one of the Demon Race's two strongest beings—also belonged to this clan.

Thanks to their innate gifts, practically every member of the clan was a soul master. Their talent for souls was nearly as great as the Bug Race's.

"Silver Void Venerable, why waste words with him? Let's finish him off quickly. The Human Race's Virtual Universe is a huge problem!" said a Universe Venerable who looked like a bear.

Unlike other races, the Demon Race's members of the Eighteen Imperial Clans held far higher status than powerhouses of the same level.

Universe Venerables were already among the top ranks, or else simply addressing a member of an Imperial Clan without a title would usually be punishable by death.

"Indeed, Your Highness! If he leaks the news about this place..."

"No need. They're already here!"

Just as another Universe Venerable, whose true form resembled a dragon, began to speak, Aurora Venerable's figure appeared.

The three Venerables spun around and saw Aurora Venerable taking shape from particles of light.

"Taro!" The Silver Cross Legion Venerable was overjoyed at the sight.

But the three Monster Race Venerables showed no joy at all.

"Shit—"
