"Lord Peng Gong contributed the most in this battle, followed by the Lord of Ice Peak. He deployed both of his signature Supreme Treasures, and we also used the Ice Peak Palace for a while. The Lord of Flint, Lord Long Xing, and I contributed the least." The Chaos City Lord recalled the details of the battle, weighing each Universe Master's contribution.
"But how should Qian Wu's contribution be calculated?"
The Qian Wu Country Lord had certainly contributed by serving as bait, and the entire plan had been his idea. However, he was not particularly strong and had contributed nothing during the battle itself. Giving him too many Supreme Treasure Points posed a danger, too. With his strength, if he impulsively exchanged them for better Supreme Treasures, he could put himself at risk.
He could hardly take several Universe Masters along every time he ventured through the universe.
"Fine, I'll calculate Qian Wu's contribution normally. I'll just tell him to focus on cultivation afterward. He has no shortage of Supreme Treasures anyway. Improving his strength should come first."
The Chaos City Lord remembered Giant Axe saying that the race could give Qian Wu preferential access to resources. Since that was the case, he would distribute the rewards normally.
After some consideration, Lord Peng Gong had already been allocated two Top-tier Supreme Treasures. Since he had lost five percent of his divine power, those two treasures would serve as compensation for that loss.
Thus, Lord Peng Gong would receive forty percent of the Supreme Treasure Points, while Qian Wu and the Lord of Ice Peak would each receive fifteen percent. Finally, Lord Long Xing, the Lord of Flint, and the Chaos City Lord would each receive ten percent.
That meant Lord Peng Gong would receive the most, at 17,200 Supreme Treasure Points. The Qian Wu Country Lord and the Lord of Ice Peak would each receive 6,450 Supreme Treasure Points, while Lord Long Xing, the Chaos City Lord, and the Lord of Flint would each receive 4,300.
He sent everyone his preliminary proposal for distributing the treasures and waited for their confirmation. If anyone objected, they could discuss adjustments.
"I have no objections." Lord Peng Gong nodded in satisfaction. His strongest avatar had happened to be in the Primal Universe, and deploying it for this battle had earned him considerable rewards.
With 17,200 Supreme Treasure Points, he would only need a few thousand more to exchange them for a Peak Palace-type, domain-type, or soul-type Supreme Treasure.
"I'll leave it to you, Chaos." The Lord of Ice Peak had no objections. More than six thousand Supreme Treasure Points could buy two or three Top-tier Domain Supreme Treasures. His gains were substantial as well.
"Haha, you're generous, Chaos City Lord!" The Lord of Flint had only been brought along to bolster their presence. His attacks had looked earth-shaking, but that had mostly been exaggerated visual effects. They had done little damage but delivered plenty of humiliation. To him, those 4,300 Supreme Treasure Points were practically a windfall.
Now I can exchange them for a top-tier Palace-type Supreme Treasure and venture into the Universe Ocean with more confidence, the Lord of Flint thought.
Lord Long Xing had also played only a minor role and had no objections whatsoever.
"Hmm? They're actually giving me fifteen percent, more than three of the Universe Masters." Yang Hao fell into thought. It seemed the race intended to nurture him. How were these Supreme Treasure Points any different from a free gift?
Lord Peng Gong had contributed the most, followed by the Giant Axe Founder. As the strongest among them, he had gone to conduct the exchange without asking for any benefits at all. He truly devoted himself wholeheartedly to the race.
"Haha, I have no objections either." Yang Hao smiled. What objection could he possibly have to getting more than six thousand Supreme Treasure Points for free? He could barely stop grinning.
Once everyone had confirmed that they had no objections, the Chaos City Lord contributed the two Supreme Treasures to the race.
He then distributed the Supreme Treasure Points he received according to the plan.
Finally, the high-tier soul-type Supreme Treasure and ordinary Palace-type Supreme Treasure left behind by the Lord of Ashen Soul went to the Lord of Ice Peak as payment for using the Ice Peak Palace.
For a time, everyone was delighted-except the Machine Race Alliance, which had taken the blow.
"Qian Wu... now that you've received so many Supreme Treasure Points, do not go flaunting extraordinary Supreme Treasures around the Primal Universe again," the Chaos City Lord warned once more.
"You've had a special opportunity, and your strength has improved considerably in less than a thousand eras. If you settle down and cultivate, even if you don't become a Universe Master, becoming a Top Universe Overlord should be no problem."
"After the Primal Star closes, most of our race's Universe Masters will venture into the Universe Ocean. We can't keep acting as your personal bodyguards," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.
"I understand, Chaos City Lord. Don't worry. I won't disappoint the race." Yang Hao nodded to show that he understood.
"As long as you understand. We've known each other for hundreds of millions of eras, after all. I also hope you can grow stronger and take some of the burden off me." After the Chaos City Lord finished, the two chatted casually for a while longer, unable to help reminiscing about the eventful years of their past.
Managing the entire Human Race placed considerable pressure on the Chaos City Lord. A little conversation with an old friend gave him a chance to relax.
"After all that, remember to be careful," the Chaos City Lord could not help reminding him again.
"The Machine Race Alliance suffered terrible losses this time. Not only did they lose two Peak Supreme Treasures, but our Human Race also annihilated almost all of the Lord of Ashen Soul's divine power. Less than a tenth remained. Even a pinnacle race would feel the pain of losing that much divine power!"
"That trick of yours worked once, but it certainly won't work a second time. If you provoke the Machine Alliance again and they decide to take us down with them, it won't be good for our Human Race either."
"Haha, I'm not a greedy man. The gains this time were so great that they would be enough to equip even a powerful Universe Master," Yang Hao said with a smile.
Having earned so much from a single attempt, Yang Hao was naturally satisfied.
"The Primal Star? Why the hell would I go back? There are only a few dozen eras left. At most, I'd earn another few dozen to a hundred Supreme Treasure Points, and it's incredibly dangerous. If the Machine Race ambushed me, I wouldn't be so lucky again." Seated on his throne, Yang Hao recalled the tremendous benefits he had reaped during this opening of the Primal Star.
He had already had 500 Supreme Treasure Points in his account. Adding the 6,450 transferred by the Chaos City Lord brought his total to 6,950.
He also had the High-tier Domain-type Supreme Treasure, the Ten Thousand Skies Sea, a High-tier Armor Supreme Treasure, a High-tier Attack Supreme Treasure, and an ordinary Palace Supreme Treasure. Altogether, his wealth already exceeded 7,000 Supreme Treasure Points.
If he exchanged it all for Supreme Treasures, he could assemble a complete set of those three types of Top-tier Supreme Treasures: one top-tier domain-type Supreme Treasure, one top-tier soul-type Supreme Treasure, and one top-tier Palace-type Supreme Treasure.
"I could, but there's no need." Yang Hao shook his head. There was nothing he could do. His strength had not even reached the level of a Top Universe Overlord. If he exchanged his points for such fine Supreme Treasures, he really might end up being hunted by a host of Universe Masters.
Having money he could not spend was its own kind of frustration. I haven't spent a single Supreme Treasure Point!
"Fine, then I'll focus on cultivation and teach my disciples and develop my forces on the side." Yang Hao considered it for a moment. He had already experienced plenty of battles. Fighting at this level would not improve him much in the short term. He should study secret techniques and raise their level first.
"I'll create an Ultimate Universe Overlord Secret Technique first." Yang Hao decided to start with secret techniques. For now, that offered a clear path toward improving his strength.
He would begin with the relatively simpler path rather than reach too far and study how to become a Universe Master.
Becoming a Universe Master was hard! Hard! Hard!
He would need to fully comprehend not only the entire Space Law but also the entire Time Law. Only after completely comprehending both higher laws could he become a Universe Master capable of controlling a region of spacetime.
Yet the Space Law and the Time Law followed entirely different paths. They could even be described as completely unrelated. Some powerful beings comprehended the Time Law or the Space Law quickly, but even after endless years, they struggled to fully comprehend the other.
Clearly, those who could become Universe Masters were geniuses among geniuses-and versatile geniuses at that.
For Yang Hao to achieve everything in one leap, fully comprehend the Time Law, and become a Universe Master was simply unrealistic.
Who knows when I'll fully comprehend the Time Law? Becoming a Universe Master isn't that easy, Yang Hao could not help thinking.
The entire Human Race had several thousand Universe Venerables, yet fewer than twenty Universe Masters. That alone showed how difficult it was.
