New Primal Universe Landscape

"One minute remaining."

Giant Axe reminded them coldly.

Watching the two Demon Race ancestors, who had always been incomparably arrogant, now forced to cut off their tails to survive, Giant Axe felt not a shred of pity.

If the positions were reversed and the Demon Race held the upper hand, the conditions they proposed would certainly be even harsher.

Of course, the conditions the humans were demanding now were not light either.

And the Dream Demon Ancestor was not wrong in her thinking. Even if the Demon Race agreed to these terms today, the humans would still find excuses to continue their coercion later on. The only difference would be whether it happened sooner or later.

"Zhen Jiao, must we truly agree?"

The Dream Demon Ancestor was deeply conflicted at this moment. She hadn't even warmed up the supreme treasure 'Gold-Shattering Spear' that the Sky Screen had rewarded her with! If they really had to hand over a supreme treasure, it would certainly be her set that was sacrificed first. The Tremor Demon Ancestor's strength was indeed superior; preserving him alone would be the better choice.

"Agree for now..." The Tremor Demon Ancestor sighed powerlessly. "Compared to a supreme treasure, those 23 universe masters are of higher value to us. Without enough universe masters, it will be very difficult for us to hold onto our territory."

In the Primal Universe, the role of a universe master, aside from resurrecting life forms at the venerable level and below, was to garrison major secret regions, core territories, and the like. After all, the strongest beings were suppressed by the origin will within the Primal Universe, and they often required a sufficient number of universe masters to assist them.

The Tremor Demon Ancestor's thought was that as long as they preserved enough of their living strength, there would still be hope for the future! Furthermore, within one million years, the Demon Race had to retain a portion of their territory, because the next time the Sky Screen opened, it might be their only hope for a comeback.

"Then... very well."

The Dream Demon Ancestor saw the determination in the Tremor Demon Ancestor's eyes and, as always, chose to trust him. Usually, the Dream Demon Ancestor made decisions on ordinary matters, but when it came to major race-wide events, it was the Tremor Demon Ancestor who made the call. This time was no exception.

"Time is up."

Watching their final reaction, a rare smile appeared on Giant Axe's face toward an alien race. "Have you made your decision?"

"We have." The Tremor Demon Ancestor said bitterly. "Giant Axe, we agree to your demands. However, there is one point: once you receive the treasures and the territory, you must immediately release the suppressed universe masters and refrain from attacking us for at least one million years."

"Agreed."

Giant Axe accepted the terms readily. Being able to squeeze out two supreme treasures and half of their territory in a single battle was already highly satisfying. He had expected to fight a few more times and thoroughly batter the Demon Race before obtaining these things. Since the other party was so sensible, Giant Axe agreed directly.

"Take them!"

The Tremor Demon Ancestor flicked out two streaks of light.

Giant Axe caught them. They were indeed the supreme treasure armor 'Dream Scale' used by the Dream Demon Ancestor, and the offensive supreme treasure 'Gold-Shattering Spear' that the Sky Screen had rewarded her with not long ago. Probing them with his divine power, he easily refined and claimed ownership. The smile on Giant Axe's face grew even broader.

Swish!

With a wave of his hand, the twenty-three imprisoned and suppressed Universe Masters flew out at once.

Whoosh!

The Tremor Demon Ancestor's divine power swept across, drawing all the released Universe Masters into his own palace-type supreme treasure.

"This is the new territorial boundary line; come to claim it in one month. Giant Axe, I hope you keep your word!"

The Tremor Demon Ancestor cast a deep look at Giant Axe, glancing with immense wariness at the God-Slaying Axe still emitting a faint glow in Giant Axe's hand.

"Let's go!"

Immediately, the Tremor Demon Ancestor and the Dream Demon Ancestor teleported away.

Watching them leave, Giant Axe did not pursue.

Just moments ago, he had received the boundary information transmitted by the Tremor Demon Ancestor.

This time, the Tremor Demon Ancestor had designated the Desolate Dark Shattered Star Belt as the new territorial dividing line, ceding all territory to the east of the line—including the Desolate Dark Shattered Star Belt itself—to humanity.

Giant Axe knew of the Desolate Dark Shattered Star Belt.

It was a rather famous location within the core territory of the Demon Race.

This belt of shattered stars stretched almost north to south, spanning the entire Demon Race domain.

It effectively split their territory exactly in half.

"Giant Axe, they just agreed to this?" Peng Gong Lord couldn't help but ask.

The Demon Race had always been incredibly arrogant in the past; given such harsh conditions, most of the Universe Masters on the human side had assumed it would take several battles to secure this much territory.

As for the supreme treasure?

Forcing someone to hand one over within the Primal Universe was something even the Original Ancestor could not do back in his day.

To achieve this, one had to do exactly what was done today: threaten the survival of their race while employing the tactic of capturing their Universe Masters en masse.

Otherwise, trying to obtain a supreme treasure from a supreme powerhouse was no different than killing them.

"They agreed. Everyone, prepare yourselves; we will officially take over the territory in one month," Giant Axe said with a smile.

Whoosh!!

Upon hearing this, the vassal Universe Masters who followed humanity behind Giant Axe erupted into a clamor.

Although they had seen the Tremor Demon Ancestor toss out two supreme treasures earlier, they had not known the specific details of the negotiations.

Now, hearing the answer directly from Giant Axe, these vassal Universe Masters were utterly shocked.

They were well aware of the Demon Race's style of conduct.

They never expected that in just a single war, humanity would seize half of the Demon Race's original territory!

What a vast expanse of territory that was!

For small races that only possessed one or two Universe Masters, such a vast domain was something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Humanity is truly incredible! the vassal Universe Masters present couldn't help but think.

After this battle, the Hong Alliance led by humanity would inevitably become the absolute number one power within the Primal Universe!

As for the Demon Race, they would slide completely from their peak, becoming nothing more than a piece of fat in the eyes of other major powers.

The landscape of the Primal Universe would be forever changed because of this.

"Miao Yun, thank you for letting me hitch a ride with humanity this time," Vulture Lord whispered via telepathic transmission.

"We're brothers, no need for thanks." Although Miao Yun was also shocked, he feigned a calm and composed demeanor.

"Hehe, looking at this situation, humanity gets to eat the meat, and we'll get to follow along and drink the soup."

Vulture Lord was very happy.

There were many others who shared his thoughts.

These Universe Masters who had defected were, in truth, doing so for the continuation of their own races.

For that reason, they were willing to charge to the front in every battle, demonstrating their loyalty and capability.

Fortunately, the reputation of humanity is decent.

As long as you truly put in the effort, you will receive a corresponding reward.

Furthermore, according to rumors.

Humanity has already taken in enough vassal races for now.

The requirements for accepting underlings will be much higher in the future.

This is not difficult to understand, as the Primal Universe is only so large after all.

Territory suitable for survival and reproduction is limited; once a vassal race is accepted, one must at least provide them with some living space.

It is fine when there are few vassals, as it does not affect the survival and development of humanity.

But if too many vassals are taken in, it will squeeze the development of humanity itself.

Regarding this.

Everyone in the Hong Alliance is well aware.

"Zhen Jiao has quite the mettle, that fellow."

After watching this play, Yang Yu took a sip of fine wine and, with a single stride, returned to a desolate void not far from the Milky Way Galaxy.

From here.

Yang Yu could easily see Earth within the Milky Way Galaxy.

Judging by the time.

Luo Feng is now not far from breaking through to the Domain Lord level.

When that time comes, he will be dispatched by the Virtual Universe Company, return to Earth, and discover the Nine Tribulations Manual that Yang Yu left there previously.

From then on, he will officially embark on the path of the 'Earth Lord'.

He will also become Yang Yu's disciple in all but name.
