"We don't lack one or two Supreme Treasure of the Universe." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, looked at the four Universe Supreme Being present. These five people were the pillars of the Human Race. The decision they made was unanimously agreed upon, and the entire Human Race would abide by it. "Including the Origin Embryo and the Life Formation Disk, what we already have is enough for us to comprehend for tens of thousands of epochs."

Ultimately, even the Supreme Treasure of the Universe are merely external objects; the Law Comprehension is fundamental. Moreover, they cannot offer Supreme Treasure more suitable for us than our Life Formation Disk and Origin Embryo.

"Once we digest the benefits brought by the two inheritances, it will be enough for us to establish a holy land Transcendence of Reincarnation. Therefore, this transaction is not important to us. The Eastern Emperor Holy Land has nothing to offer that will tempt us; a few Supreme Treasure of the Universe are not enough to make me give up my Memory Stone."

Both the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos True God nodded, agreeing with Ye Muxuan's view.

In the foreseeable Wei Lai, the focus of Human Race is on the Primal Universe, on acquiring more territory, cultivating more universe masters, and even more Universe Supreme Being.

Anyone who passes the trial can join Sect and obtain Life Formation Disk. Therefore, almost everyone has a Life Formation Disk comparable to the Supreme Treasure of the Universe. For these universe lords, those Supreme Treasure of the Universe are icing on the cake, but not necessities.

Even if the path of array formations within the Sect isn't suitable in the Wei Lai, one can still try the Basic Inheritance route within the Duan Donghe. While it's called Basic Inheritance, reaching the Universe Supreme Being is certainly achievable, perhaps even reaching the pinnacle of the strongest, comparable to the Original Ancestor.

"Then, shall we just tell Master Beizhen that we don't need a trade?" Peng Gong True God stroked his long beard and asked.

"No, tell Master Beizhen that a trade is possible: one Memory Stone in exchange for five Supreme Treasure of the Universe, and you must have at least two of the three: Palace, Soul Domain, and so on. If you agree, then I can offer three Memory Stones in the trade."

"If you don't agree, then forget it." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, spoke up. "Peng Gong, tell the Master Beizhen that I, the Shadow Blade Master, personally guarantee that each of these three Memory Stone contains cultivation experience left behind by beings beyond the level of the Universe Supreme Being. If their Progenitor is willing to trade, each stone can be exchanged for five items; not even one less will do."

Human Race currently has two inheritances. The Duan Donghe inheritance has already been exposed, and trading with it is not a problem. However, every universe lord can enter the Sect inheritance for trials, and the Life Formation Disk contains a great many Origin Embryo and materials, so it must not be exposed.

"Alright." Peng Gong True God nodded, agreeing with Ye Muxuan's words, and the other three strongest individuals had no objections either.

The Duan Donghe Inheritance naturally contains more than just three Memory Stones that surpass the cultivation experience of the strongest individuals. However, it wouldn't hurt to use three of them to trade for some Supreme Treasure of the Universe as part of the clan's foundation. It's always a good thing if each universe lord has an extra Supreme Treasure of the Universe.

"Now let's discuss what to do with the Crystal Race Holy Master? Should we kill him, or enslave him with our will, like the Machine Race Father God?" the Giant Axe Founder asked.

The Crystal Clan's Holy Lord is still being suppressed within Ye Muxuan's Mysterious Spirit Tower.

"The Machine Race Father God is of great use to the Virtual Universe System, but the Crystal Race Holy Master is of little use. Soul Enslavement and will enslavement are only possible with the intervention of the Universe Master Mingwu, the Dark Junior Brother, or the Palace Master Qingying, the disciple of Muxuan. Other Universe Lords have no hope," the Chaos True God said.

"Qing Shuang's chances of intervening are slim. She's only recently become a Universe Lord, and the trials at the Sect's inheritance level are still ongoing. Her level of soul and will is far inferior to Darkness and Mingwu. My suggestion is to kill her directly," said Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe. "Furthermore, for those races that are vassals of the Crystal Race and the Prison Race, consider winning them over if they have Universe Lords. However, continue to hunt down the Universe Lords of the Crystal Race and the Prison Race themselves."

"Our conflict with the Crystal Race and the Prison Race is a war of genocide, a war of extermination; there is no possibility of reconciliation."

These elite races are vying for the territories of the Primal Universe, with no room for reconciliation. After this battle, the goal is to defeat, crush, and even exterminate their races. There is no possibility of surrender to the universe lords of the Crystal Race and the Prison Race themselves.

Just like the Machine Race, they seized the opportunity and wiped out the entire race.

I agree.

I agree.

The Giant Axe Founder and the Peng Gong True God both agreed, and the fate of the Crystal Race Holy Master was decided in just a few words.

"So, next, the Monster Race and the insect Bug Race will definitely try to win over those universe lords who have territorial needs, as well as those solitary strongest individuals. Should we try to win them over?" Seeing that the two Giant Axe Founder agreed one after the other, the Chaos True God stopped worrying about this matter. After all, it was just one strongest individual, and it wasn't like he hadn't killed them before.

"Liyan of the Red Flame Alliance has over a dozen Universe Lords following him, who can be won over with some effort. As for the entire Red Flame Alliance, it will require a much greater price," Ye Muxuan said, first mentioning Liyan's side, then the Northern Territory Alliance. "As for the Northern Territory Alliance, Clear Jade Bamboo and I have a good relationship, so winning over the twenty or thirty Universe Lords in her faction shouldn't be difficult. But to win over the entire Northern Territory Alliance, we'll have to rely on the Star River Master and the others."

"As for the Ancestral God Sect and the Star Behemoth Alliance, I think it will be quite difficult."

"The Ancestral God Sect is easier to deal with, since they don't even have a single Universe Supreme Being. All they want is information on how to break through to the strongest level," said Peng Gong True God. He had connections with the higher-ups of various major forces and was known for his wide network of friends throughout the Primal Universe and even the Universe Ocean. "As for the Star Behemoth Alliance, the Old Beast God will definitely demand cultivation experience that allows one to reach the limit of the Universe Supreme Being. Should we give it to them?"

"The Star Behemoth Alliance doesn't fight for territory, so even if they have a few more of their strongest members, it won't affect us. The main problem is the Northern Territory Alliance. They have too many races, and the territory they occupy is not much smaller than the combined Northern Territory Alliance of our Three Great Peak Races. Moreover, they have nearly a hundred Universe Lords," the Giant Axe Founder said.

"Now it's one hundred and two people," Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, corrected.

"Chaos, Peng Gong," the Giant Axe Founder suddenly stood up and said, "You two should use your connections to win over the Northern Territory Alliance and those top-tier and even second-tier forces. I'll go and probe the thoughts of the Star Behemoth Alliance and the Ancestral God Sect."

"Muxuan, please keep in touch with Clear Jade Bamboo of the Northern Territory Alliance and Liyan of the Red Flame Alliance, and try to get more Universe Lords to join our Hong Alliance."

"Alright." Neither the Chaos True God nor the Peng Gong True God objected to the decision made by the Giant Axe Founder. After all, as the Universe Supreme Being, he was qualified to talk to the universe lords of those races. Moreover, the Giant Axe Founder was the leader of the Hong Alliance, and his status was also qualified to negotiate with the Starry Sky Progenitor and the Three Ancestral Gods.

"I'll go to the Star Behemoth Alliance." After the Giant Axe Founder made the arrangements, Ye Muxuan suddenly spoke up. Amidst the surprised expressions of the four strongest individuals, Ye Muxuan volunteered to go to the Star Behemoth Alliance. Then, turning to the Darkness Demon God, who had remained silent, he said, "Also, Dark, keep a close eye on the Universe Ocean."

The Darkness Demon God was slightly taken aback.

In the outside world, the Darkness Demon God is an extremely mysterious and solitary strongest being. Among the more than twenty Universe Supreme Being in the Primal Universe, his level of mystery is second only to the Mountain Sitting Guest and the Island Master Shihua, and is comparable to the Northern Territory Alliance Leader.

Moreover, he possesses the Supreme Treasure of the Universe (his Life Formation Disk), making him extremely strong, and no one dares to offend him.

"The Eastern Emperor Holy Land has proposed a deal, but the Purple Moon Holy Land hasn't made a move at all. In terms of strength, the Purple Moon Holy Land is no weaker than the Eastern Emperor Holy Land. Their silence suggests they are likely preparing something big," Ye Muxuan reminded him.

"Impossible, perhaps their higher-ups haven't made a decision yet?" Even the Giant Axe Founder was somewhat puzzled upon hearing Ye Muxuan's words, and said, "After all, last time Liyan extorted a Supreme Treasure of the Universe from the Purple Moon Holy Land."

When the Eastern Emperor Holy Land faced a similar situation, it directly annihilated the three Universe Supreme Being from the Qixue Race. The methods of the Master Beizhen of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land were far more ruthless than those of the Juehua True God of the Purple Moon Holy Land.

Upon hearing this, even the Chaos True God and Peng Gong True God nodded in agreement.

"It's always good to be more careful." Ye Muxuan didn't explain anything further, considering the circumstances back then.

The Eastern Emperor Holy Land is indeed more powerful than the Purple Moon Holy Land. It showed no mercy in annihilating a peak-level clan, demonstrating the inviolability of a holy land.

In contrast, the fact that the Purple Moon Holy Land actually yielded and handed over a Supreme Treasure of the Universe in the face of a sixth-order universe lord made them seem somewhat weak and easily bullied.

"Alright, that's settled then." Seeing that Ye Muxuan didn't want to explain, the Giant Axe Founder didn't say anything more. After all, he was certain the Shadow Blade Master was human and wouldn't betray Human Race. Every powerful being had their own secrets; perhaps the Shadow Blade Master had some secret sources in the Universe Ocean and knew some of the Purple Moon Holy Land's secrets. "Chaos, Peng Gong, go and win over the Northern Territory Alliance and those top forces. Muxuan, go to the Star Behemoth Alliance. I'll go to the Ancestral God Sect. Darkness, keep an eye on the Purple Moon Holy Land."

While the Human Race was busy preparing to win over those universe masters, the alliance between the Monster Race and the Bug Race was growing closer, and they too began to lobby and win over those races who harbored ambitions to become universe masters. After all, their common enemy, the Human Race, was simply too powerful.

Even the remaining eighteen Universe Lords of the Prison Race and the Crystal Race joined the alliance of the Monster Race and the Bug Race, increasing the total number of Universe Lords in the alliance from the original twenty-nine of the two clans to forty-seven.

-.

The feud between them and the Human Race's powerful figures wasn't a personal grudge, but a hatred for the entire race, the kind that 'Bu Si irreconcilable. Just look at the Machine Race's universe lord; in just tens of thousands of years, the Machine Race has almost become history. The remaining dozen or so Machine Race Venerable are all hiding, evading the pursuit of those Human Race's Venerable Overlord.

At that moment, news came from the Universe Ocean that the Crystal Race Holy Master had fallen.

The entire Primal Universe fell silent for a moment, then erupted into chaos.

Those groups that needed to occupy territory to multiply and thrive, regardless of their size or the extent of their territory, began to feel insecure.

No one knows whose territory Human Race's next strike will fall upon. The current situation in the Primal Universe is...

No single race can stop Human Race's expansion!

Soon after, news spread that a dispute had broken out within the Red Flame Alliance, and the position of alliance leader had been "transferred" to Liyan, the sixth-order Universe Judge! Subsequently, the Human Race used the entire treasure trove of the Crystal Race's Miniature Universe as a bargaining chip to win over the entire Red Flame Alliance!

Liyan led all thirty-five Universe Lords of the Red Flame Alliance to join the Hong Alliance! The number of Universe Lords in the Hong Alliance surged from the original sixty-two to ninety-seven.

Subsequently, a dispute arose within the Northern Territory Alliance, with the three veteran Universe Lords— the Star River Master, the Black Lotus Master, and the Star Master Lan the Liulan Star—clashing with Clear Jade Bamboo, a newly emerging Universe Lord. Then, one of Clear Jade Bamboo's two Universe Lords revealed a Supreme Treasure of the Universe the soul type, the Zihuang, and his Xuanqing Palace and Biluojie were among the finest of the Peak Supreme Treasure.

In the Northern Territory Alliance, a sixth-order Universe Lord has emerged. This is the third sixth-order Universe Lord in the Primal Universe, following the Shadow Blade Master and Liyan of the Red Flame Alliance!

Aside from the Qiqu Starlight Lake, owned by the Northern Territory Alliance Leader, the Northern Territory Alliance now possesses another Supreme Treasure of the Universe!

Subsequently, the Northern Territory Alliance split. One group, led by Clear Jade Bamboo and assisted by the Black Lotus Master, along with their followers, represented rare Special Lifeform and some powerful clans. A total of thirty-one Universe Lords joined the Hong Alliance.

A group centered around the Star River Master and the Star Master Lan, representing powerful races, along with some ordinary races, totaling seventy-one Universe Lords, joined the alliance of the Monster Race and the Insect Bug Race.

The entire Northern Territory Alliance was thus split in two, Northern Territory Alliance Leader knew nothing about it and didn't care at all.

He was just a figurehead; the alliance was using its precious resources to get him involved. Even if the entire Northern Territory Alliance were wiped out, he wouldn't care.

Amidst the swirling dust, Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, arrived at the Miniature Universe of the Starry Sky Progenitor.

The strongest being like the Mountain Sitting Guest could only come in an avatar, lest his true form be suppressed by the Starry Sky Progenitor. However, Ye Muxuan came in his true form and did not carry any Supreme Treasure, so even if the Starry Sky Progenitor suddenly turned against him, it would be useless.

Ye Muxuan, who possessed no Supreme Treasure, was naturally no match for the Starry Sky Progenitor, especially since he was within the Starry Sky Ancestor's Miniature Universe. However, to say that the Starry Sky Progenitor could Soul Annihilation Ye Muxuan's soul was simply a joke.

When the Human Shadow Blade Master arrived, the Starry Sky Progenitor naturally received him personally. Amidst laughter and conversation, they arrived at the Beast God World, the most precious place in the Star Behemoth Alliance, and met Luo Feng, who was in a deep slumber.

In the Beast God World, there is Ten Thousand Times Time Acceleration that of the Starry Sky Progenitor. What is only ten thousand years in the outside Primal Universe has already passed tens of thousands of eras here.

Meanwhile, Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast body transformed into a true Beast God in his sleep, traversing the universe and battling fiercely in the void.

"This is... the Heart of the Beast God?" On a mountain peak outside the Beast God World, Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, looked down at the enormous Golden Horned Beast lying on the Golden Beast God Statue. He looked at the Old Beast God with some surprise and said, "To transform into the Beast God in one's sleep and still comprehend the Heart of the Beast God?"

"That's a good method. I'll have Lao Wu try it later."

The Old Beast God was dumbfounded; he couldn't do this method either.

Once you comprehend the Heart of the Beast God, you can transform into a true Beast God and step into the level of the Lord of the Universe. Ye Muxuan's fifth disciple, Venerable Yueqiang, is stuck at the Heart of the Beast God stage!

"Does the Shadow Blade Master not recognize this person?" The Old Beast God looked at Ye Muxuan with some surprise and asked.

"A person? Is he Luo Feng?" Although he already knew most of the details, he needed to pretend he didn't know at this point. "Wait, is this the arrangement of the Mountain Sitting Guest?"

Then, before the Old Beast God could speak, Ye Muxuan nodded affirmatively and muttered to himself, "This is indeed something the Mountain Sitting Guest would do."

His words revealed that he knew the Mountain Sitting Guest very well.

Suddenly, the Old Beast God remembered that these two were Luo Feng's teachers, and then he realized that the Mountain Sitting Guest had probably secretly joined the Hong Alliance as well.

With this preconceived notion in his mind, his subsequent conversation with Ye Muxuan became much more cordial.
