Thunder Island, mountaintop.
Inside the Shadow Blade Master's palace, there were no superfluous decorations. Unlike the previous Luo Feng had entered, this was a completely different space. The empty hall was shrouded in a thin, chaotic aura. In the center of the hall was an ancient stone table and fourteen stone chairs.
Prior to this, Luo Feng had no idea that there was another space inside this palace.
Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, sat down at the head of the table, then pointed to one of the stone chairs and said, "That's your seat, please sit down."
Luo Feng examined the stone chair. There was a very abstract carving on the back of the chair, in which one could vaguely see a human figure with six wings on its back holding a War Blade, the blade of which exuded a sharp aura.
Although the carving was extremely abstract, Luo Feng could still tell that it depicted a scene from his fight with the Fortress Master Fannuo.
My gaze shifted to the other stone chairs, each adorned with carvings: some depicted a hand holding a Miniature Universe, others a colossal tower pressing down from the sky, and still others endless dark light—the variety was endless.
Luo Feng sat down in his seat, which was the fifth seat to the left of his teacher Shadow Blade Master.
"Following the proposal of the Virtual Universe Company and the unanimous approval of the Supreme Council of the Human Race, you are now the twenty-ninth Universe Lord of our Human Race," Ye Muxuan said from the head of the table.
"The twenty-ninth?" Luo Feng suppressed his excitement. Receiving recognition from the Supreme Council meant there was no longer any worry about Earth's ownership. "How come the information I found—"
"Your previous authority was that of Universe Overlord, but in this great war between races, our Human Race has already deployed hidden forces. However, this information will not be made available to those below the level of a cosmic lord, so you only found twenty-seven individuals," Ye Muxuan said, looking at Luo Feng. "Of course, in the Primal Universe, the cosmic lords of billions of races basically only know this much, and we are considering gradually announcing it at the Supreme Council."
The birth of a Universe Lord signifies the growing strength of Human Race; the Master Soulheart was announced tens of thousands of years ago under such circumstances. However, the Master Jifeng and the Master Leimo were previously in hiding, and a suitable time needed to be chosen to announce this to the Venerable of the race.
This can be considered a triumphant return for them.
Although the cosmic lords of the billions of races in the universe already know.
"Our Virtual Universe Company currently has twelve Universe Lords and two Universe Supreme Being, including you," Ye Muxuan said, looking at Luo Feng. "Some of them you may be familiar with, and some you may be unfamiliar with; I'll introduce them to you."
"The first Universe Supreme Being was the Chaos True God."
"He was the first Universe Master since the establishment of Virtual Universe Company, and also the strongest Universe Master at the time. Later, he broke through to become the Universe Supreme Being, and also the third Universe Supreme Being in human history."
"The second Universe Supreme Being, the Darkness Demon God."
"The Darkness Demon God is a human?" Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, after all, he had heard the Darkness Demon God mentioned once by the Mountain Sitting Guest. The Dark Demon God was a lone, Universe Supreme Being belonged to the Soul School and was a super strong being who could rival the True Void Demon God.
Even in major events like the previous battles between the two major factions, only three of the strongest beings in the entire Primal Universe did not participate, one of whom was the Darkness Demon God.
"The Darkness Demon God is our Human Race's most powerful and last trump card. Of course, he is also the junior brother of the Chaos True God."
Luo Feng was dumbfounded; this fellow disciple was something else!
"As for the other ten Universe Lords, the Master Ice Peak is also the junior brother of the Chaos True God. He possesses Supreme Treasure of the Universe and is a sixth-order Universe Lord."
"The Master Dragon Walk is an extremely ancient Universe Lord of the Virtual Universe Company. He followed the Chaos True God in the early days of the Human Race and made great contributions. He is now a sixth-order Universe Lord."
"The third one Universe Master Mingwu. You are quite familiar with him; he was your elder brother Hong's teacher, and he was also the leader of Source Star back then. However, he perished during the process of recognizing a master in the Star Tower, and I resurrected him after becoming the Lord of the Universe. Hundreds of thousands of epochs later, Mingwu broke through to become the Lord of the Universe and is currently in seclusion, preparing to become the Universe Supreme Being in one fell swoop."
Luo Feng was quite familiar with this Lord of the Universe. He had heard his senior brother Puti, mention him when they recognized each other as masters of the Star Tower, and later, when discussing his second senior brother Emperor Yan, he had also heard Mountain Sitting Guest mention him once.
"The fourth is the Universe Master Youhou. He broke through to become a Universe Lord tens of millions of epochs ago, and is also a disciple of the Darkness Demon God."
Luo Feng knew that this Lord of the Universe was a Lord of the Universe with extremely strong combat power and rampant killing.
"Fifth, the Aurora Palace Master, is the eldest disciple of the Chaos True God. He possesses exceptional talent and is now extremely powerful, surpassing even the Universe Master Youhou and approaching the Master Ice Peak."
Luo Feng had never heard of this Lord of the Universe's specific achievements before, only knowing that he was such a Lord of the Universe. He figured that someone who could become the chief disciple of the Chaos True God must be extraordinary.
"Sixth, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master; seventh, the Star Prison Master. These two broke through at similar times and their strength is also similar. Under normal circumstances, they both have the strength of the fourth rank, and when they unleash their full power, they have the strength of the fifth rank. They are extremely powerful among the Lords of the Universe."
"The eighth is the Universe Master Di Hai, who is the eldest disciple of the Master Ice Peak; the Ninth Form Universe Master Gui Yi, who is the second disciple of the Chaos True God. These two broke through at similar times and their strengths are also similar."
The four cosmic lords who followed had all broken through in the last few hundred thousand epochs and were in a period of high activity. Therefore, Luo Feng knew more about these four than about the Master Dragon Walk and the Master Ice Peak.
As for the remaining three, it's quite obvious—
"The Tenth Form one, who is your Eldest Senior Sister, was called Qingmei Venerable at the Universe Venerable stage. After breaking through to the Universe Lord, she changed her title to Palace Master Qingying. Before you, she was the newest Universe Lord of the Virtual Universe Company, and one of the two most recent Universe Lords of the Human Race." The most recent one is obviously the Master Soulheart.
This one is even more familiar to her; at one point, the Eldest Senior Sister even gave him some pointers. The Eldest Senior Sister is very patient with her junior brothers and sisters.
Of course, these must be the teacher's personally accepted disciples, the true junior brothers and sisters. As for the teacher's nominal disciples, the Eldest Senior Sister doesn't have much interest in them. She might offer occasional guidance, but going all out is out of the question.
As they were talking, a stunningly beautiful woman in light blue armor appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the hall, then stepped inside and came to Luo Feng's side.
"Teacher!" The stunningly beautiful woman, with eight swaying snow-white fox tails behind her, bowed to Ye Muxuan at the head of the table before patting Luo Feng on the shoulder with a radiant smile, "Junior Brother!"
"Eldest Senior Sister!" Luo Feng stood up and returned the greeting respectfully.
"Junior Brother, have you decided on your title of Lord of the Universe?" Palace Master Qingying sat in her seat with a smile, directly above Luo Feng. The carving on the back of her chair was a pair of eyes that could bewitch all beings with a blink.
At the head of the table, Ye Muxuan observed all of this without uttering a word.
Title ---- Lord of the Universe Title ----
The origins of the titles of powerful individuals vary. Some are due to their inner obsessions, some earn their titles through battles, and some simply name themselves after their signature weapons or iconic Supreme Treasure.
The list goes on and on.
Ye Muxuan was too lazy to change them, so he directly used the titles he had received when he was conferred King Rank of Marquis Rank, King, and even Venerable. The same was true for the Universe Master Mingwu. He even served as the Qingyuan Kingdom Lord for a period of time before changing it back. Qing Shuang was renamed the Lord of the Qingying Palace because Ye Muxuan bestowed upon her the Peak Supreme Treasure, Palace Master Qingying. The Lord of Universe Master Youhou was named after his famous weapon, Youhou Thorn, just like the Universe Master Di Hai.
The titles of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, the Aurora Palace Master, and the Star Prison Master each have their own reasons.
"Galaxy Lord." With that thought, Luo Feng suddenly spoke, "My title as Lord of the Universe will be Galaxy Lord."
Galaxy — the Milky Way Galaxy, Earth's home. Lord—this is my own territory, I am the master of this territory, therefore I am the lord.
Generally speaking, the title of "Lord of the Universe" is a personal matter, and other powerful beings don't care unless it goes too far. But if you were the Lord of the Universe of the Monster-Bug Race Alliance and you called yourself "Lord of Annihilation," the Human Race Universe Lord would definitely be furious.
"Alright, then you'll be the Galaxy Lord from now on!" Palace Master Qingying patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, her eyes smiling, her gaze captivating all who beheld her.
