None of those present felt any sympathy for the fate of the Zerg Queen. Human Race and Zerg were fundamentally different races, and were mortal enemies forged over countless eras. Zhang Junbao's act of preserving the Zerg's heritage and not annihilating the entire Zerg was already remarkably humane.
The Zerg Queen seemed to have lost her dreams, slumping on her throne, staring blankly at Isabella, the Universe Master whom she had painstakingly nurtured, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"Perhaps this is the consequence of my own actions."
" Daoist Sanfeng, I only have one question for you: are you confident in eliminating the World Beast?" the Zerg Queen said.
"To say I'm 100% certain is impossible, but at the very least, I'm willing to try, to take a gamble, instead of hiding like a tortoise and waiting for a savior to appear."
The Zerg Queen raised her forlorn eyes and said with a hint of self-mockery, "You're right, we're all a bunch of cowardly turtles. Having been the Universe Supreme Master for too long, we've forgotten what it feels like to fight, and we've even completely lost our ideals. We just want to save our lives and eke out an existence until an opportunity comes along."
This applies not only to the strongest beings in our Original Universe, but also to the strongest beings in the Universe Ocean. They have almost no hope of Transcendence of Reincarnation and can only go mad and exhaust everything in their final moments.
"Becoming your servant and providing you with the power of origin might not be a bad outcome, at least I won't have to face the World Beast myself."
"Strive to cultivate diligently, and once the World Beast is defeated, I will grant you your freedom. However, if I die in the fight against the World Beast, then I'm sorry, you will have to die with me."
" Isabella, give your Queen some good advice. The Zerg will be under your management from now on. As for your Empress Palace, it won't be of any use anymore, so just hand it over."
The Zerg Queen didn't struggle. If Zhang Junbao wanted her Empress Palace, he only needed to kill her. Even if she didn't want to give it to him, there was no room for negotiation.
Therefore, the Zerg Queen decisively revoked the Empress Palace's ownership and handed it over to Zhang Junbao.
" Senior Brother Chaos, I'm entrusting this Empress Palace to you. As the Universe Supreme Master that has recognized you as its master, and the head of the Virtual Universe Company, how can you not possess a Strongest Supreme Treasure?" Zhang Junbao said.
" Junbao, don't you yourself not yet have a supreme Supreme Treasure Palace?"
The Chaos City Lord was quite surprised that Zhang Junbao had actually given him the Empress Palace. Although the Strongest Supreme Treasure of the Human Race were not so scarce now, the powerful force of the Strongest Supreme Treasure could not be denied.
"I have better options. Even the Strongest Supreme Treasure are tiered. The Empress Palace is only at the lower level among the Strongest Supreme Treasure, so it's not very useful to me."
If things go as expected, the Universe Origin Will should already be guiding the God King's body of the Sitting Mountain Guest from the depths of the Universe Ocean. At that time, he will have any supreme Supreme Treasure Palace he desires. The Empress Palace is merely a True God Level Supreme Treasure, so Zhang Junbao doesn't care much about it.
He already possesses numerous Strongest Supreme Treasure, so even if he were to acquire another one, the increase in his combat power would be minimal.
On the contrary, the Chaos City Lord will be at a disadvantage in future battles against the powerful beings of the Universe Ocean because he lacks Strongest Supreme Treasure. Zhang Junbao was hoping that the Chaos City Lord would put in more effort.
After all, he's the Original Ancestor's disciple and my senior brother; it's perfectly reasonable for him to invest in him.
"This..."
The Chaos City Lord shook his head, unwilling to accept it.
Now that the World Beast are threatening the Universe Ocean, among the Human Race, only Zhang Junbao is truly capable of fighting World Beast. Naturally, all the Supreme Treasure are concentrated on him to maximize his strength.
"I don't lack this one Strongest Supreme Treasure, and I know that there are many other Supreme Treasure hidden in other parts of the Universe Ocean. Once the Human Race unifies the Original Universe, we can naturally go and retrieve them."
"Do you know where the Strongest Supreme Treasure are hidden in the Universe Ocean? Any place where the Strongest Supreme Treasure are hidden is extremely dangerous, so I can't accept that."
The Primordial Original Ancestor shook his head and said, "Alright, Chaos, don't refuse. As your teacher, it's my dereliction of duty that I failed to leave each of you with a Strongest Supreme Treasure. Since Junbao is giving it to you, he must have other plans. Just accept it."
"Yes, Senior Brother Chaos, consider it a gift to celebrate your becoming the Universe Supreme Master. Our Human Race has a rule that when someone becomes Universe Venerable, the clan will bestow upon them a supreme Supreme Treasure. So, to become the Universe Supreme Master, it's not too much to give them a Strongest Supreme Treasure, is it?"
"We didn't have this advantage before, but in the future, Human Race will have even more Strongest Supreme Treasure. We'll strive to ensure Human Race every newly emerging Universe Supreme Master can be allocated a Strongest Supreme Treasure," Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
These words struck a chord with the Chaos City Lord. He wondered when Human Race had become so powerful that it could bestow Strongest Supreme Treasure upon newly Universe Supreme Master. In the entire Universe Ocean, only Human Race possessed such confidence.
"Yes, teacher, we all have Strongest Supreme Treasure now. In future battles against Alien Race races, we'll be counting on you to control the entire domain."
"Hehe, Chaos, I've already taken two Strongest Supreme Treasure from Junbao. If you accept them, wouldn't it make me seem shameless? Anyway, I'm a big spender now. If Junbao wants to give them, I'll just accept them without hesitation. We're all brothers. If Junbao needs them, would you not help him?" The Giant Axe Founder grinned.
Seeing this, the Chaos City Lord no longer refused, "Alright, then I'll shamelessly accept it."
The Zerg Queen, slumped on her throne, watched in utter disbelief as the Chaos City Lord, persuaded by the crowd, finally acknowledged her Empress Palace as his master.
"My Empress Palace, Zhang Junbao doesn't even want it?"
When did Human Race acquire so many Strongest Supreme Treasure that they could distribute them freely?
Ignoring the utterly dumbfounded Zerg Queen, after the Chaos City Lord recognized the Empress Palace as his master, Zhang Junbao reopened the Divine Kingdom Passage and returned to the Human Territory with the Giant Axe Founder and others.
"Unexpectedly, the Zerg, who had always been enemies of Human Race, were subdued so easily. Although they occupied the Zerg's new territory, from that day forward, the Zerg became completely subservient to Human Race."
After everyone returned to Chaos City, the Chaos City Lord was filled with emotion.
"Of the Original Universe, the Machine Race has been wiped out. Now that my strength has increased, Feitian's speed of receiving the divine body of the Machine Race's Ancestral God is also accelerating. I believe she will soon be able to control the divine body of the Mechanical Race Father God. Although she cannot fully unleash the combat power of the Universe Supreme Master, she will still have no problem fighting against ordinary Universe Master."
The sheer power of the Mechanical Race Father God's physical body alone was enough to crush all the Universe Master.
"Now that the Zerg have been incorporated into the Human Race, it's time to find another good neighbor, the Demon Race," Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
"Do you also intend to emulate the Zerg's methods against the Demon Race?" the Chaos City Lord asked.
"That's right. Although I could devour their Minor Universe Origin all at once, doing so would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. I'm not World Beast, and absorbing too many of the strongest beings' Minor Universe Origin at once wouldn't do me any good. It's better to let them become the source of my power to cultivate my Power of Destruction force, just like we are now."
Through their own cultivation, they can continuously replenish the Minor Universe Origin.
Zhang Junbao is not World Beast, so naturally he wouldn't be as greedy as World Beast, devouring the entire Minor Universe Origin of the strongest in one gulp. A slow and steady approach is the right way.
This way, not only can it absorb enough primordial power, but it also won't wipe out too much life in the Original Universe.
Subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest level of military strategy.
"Even if I only absorb one ten-thousandth of the origin each year, one era is the Minor Universe Origin. The Ancestral God said that the World Beast would only descend upon the Universe Ocean before the end of this Reincarnation Era. Now, less than half of this Reincarnation Era has passed. By then, I will surely be able to raise my power to its peak."
Compared to the World Beast' exploitative approach of draining the pond to catch all the fish, Zhang Junbao felt more like he was collecting taxes from the strongest beings in the Universe Ocean.
Since he's in charge of dealing with the World Beast, it's not unreasonable for each of the strongest beings to pay him a portion of their Origin Power as tax.
" The Dream Demon Ancestor of the Demon Race possesses the Strongest Supreme Treasure, the Dream Scale Dream Lin. You probably won't be able to directly implant the black threads into its True God Heart like you did with the Zerg Queen," Luo Feng said with some worry.
"It's alright. If we can't start with the Original Universe, then I'll start with the Universe Ocean, with the Dream Demon Ancestor's Miniature Universe. Surely she can't possibly cover her Miniature Universe with Strongest Supreme Treasure as well?"
"Didn't you find Supreme Treasure in the waters of the Tilted Peak Realm before? What about now?" Zhang Junbao asked Luo Feng.
"That Supreme Treasure is a component of my Shi Wu Wings, the location of the other pair of wings. Moreover, that wing is far more powerful than the two I already possess; its power alone is comparable to that of Strongest Supreme Treasure."
Previously, he was besieged by the forces of the Universe Ocean because he discovered parts of the Shi Wu Wings in the Tilted Peak Realm Waters, which ultimately led to Zhang Junbao's true form being suppressed in the Dead Soul Ruins.
"Comparable to a Supreme Treasure Supreme Treasure? How is that possible? Aren't Strongest Supreme Treasure indivisible?" the Chaos City Lord exclaimed in surprise.
"This is a consensus among all the powerful beings in the Universe Ocean!"
"This consensus stems from their lack of experience with even more powerful Supreme Treasure. Since the Universe Ocean contains perilous realms capable of annihilating the Universe Supreme Master, why can't it also contain beings surpassing even the strongest?"
"For example, if the Original Ancestor's strength were to advance further and break through to the level of the Universe Supreme Master, ordinary Strongest Supreme Treasure might not be indivisible in his hands," Zhang Junbao explained.
"An existence surpassing the Universe Supreme Master?" The Chaos City Lord's eyes widened.
"That's right, the Universe Supreme Master is not the limit. When you reach my level, you will be able to vaguely sense the existence of the next realm." At this moment, the Giant Axe Founder also nodded and said.
"I initially thought of seizing the original Universe Origin because I was looking for a way to break through to the next level. Unfortunately, it seems that this path is wrong," the Original Ancestor said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"However, if my true form is released now, I am confident that I can break through to the next realm."
"As for Luo Feng, your Supreme Treasure wings, even just one component, are comparable to Strongest Supreme Treasure. They seem quite extraordinary. You must seize this opportunity."
"I understand, Progenitor. It's just that the conditions for this component to recognize its master are too strict, requiring an extremely high level of willpower. Universe Venerable needs to have the willpower of the Universe Supreme Master. My willpower is currently insufficient, but this great battle has greatly improved it, and I have now met the requirements."
To enhance one's willpower, one must either seek out perilous environments that temper it. Among the three perilous environments of the Universe Ocean, the Universe Boat, there is a mysterious Black Pattern Stone Pillar that exudes a powerful pressure of willpower. By spending a long time under the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, one can temper one's own willpower.
Luo Feng originally honed his will through the Black Pattern Stone Pillar.
In fact, there is another way to quickly enhance one's willpower: Strongest Battle who are beyond one's own level of power.
Luo Feng experienced several major battles with the Universe Supreme Master, which greatly tempered his willpower and boosted his morale.
"In that case, you should first head to the Universe Ocean, recognize that Supreme Treasure as your master, and complete your Shi Wu Wings. As for subduing the other races of the Original Universe, leave that to us."
Now, with the Giant Axe and the Chaos City Lord following them, along with Zhang Junbao, the three of them, working together, are the strongest beings in the Original Universe, and none can rival them.
Luo Feng following along would be somewhat redundant; it would be better to let him improve his strength on his own.
"Alright!" Luo Feng nodded. He also wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible. Now, the enemy of the Human Race was the Universe Supreme Master Universe Ocean. His current strength was not enough.
"Remember, don't break through to the Universe Master yet. There are some opportunities in the Universe Ocean that might be more suitable for Universe Venerable," Zhang Junbao instructed.
"I see."
Although he didn't know why Zhang Junbao emphasized this point, Luo Feng had no objections out of trust in him.
After Luo Feng left, Zhang Junbao looked at the people around him and said with a smile, " Giant Axe, Senior Brother Chaos, Teacher Original Ancestor, the time has come for the Human Race to once again become the strongest race in the Original Universe. It's time to settle accounts with the allied forces that invaded the Human Race back then."
"Let's start with the Demon Race. They're our Demon Race remaining old neighbor; we can't let them be too lonely."
"Hahaha, the two demon ancestors of the Demon Race have been fighting with me for many years, it's time to settle things." The Giant Axe held the Heaven Opening Axe, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
"The location of the Dream Demon Ancestor's Miniature Universe has been located. Let's go!"
After saying that, a Divine Kingdom Passage appeared in front of them. They crossed the passage and arrived near the Toya Black Hole.
" The Miniature Universe of the Demon Dream Demon Ancestor the Demon Race Clan is in that direction." A palace appeared in the Chaos City Lord's hand, leading Zhang Junbao and the others toward their destination.
The Empress Palace has now been recognized as the master of Chaos City Lord, so it is no longer acceptable to call it the Empress Palace.
Basically, the owner of every Strongest Supreme Treasure will give their Supreme Treasure a new name, and the Chaos City Lord is no exception.
The former Empress Palace has now been renamed the ' Chaos Temple ' by the Chaos City Lord, and even its appearance has changed drastically, resembling a gray-black pyramid, which is very understated.
Within the Demon Race Territory, the Dream Demon Ancestor was preaching to the Demon Race's Universe Venerable. The previous battle with the Human Race had caused the Demon Race to lose a large number of powerful individuals. Now that they had hidden in a remote part of the universe, their primary task was naturally to recover their strength.
However, at that moment, the Dream Demon Ancestor sensed several powerful auras intruding into his Miniature Universe.
" The Universe Supreme Master has forcibly entered my Miniature Universe?" The Dream Demon Ancestor was very surprised and looked nervous.
The Universe Supreme Master rarely venture directly into other Miniature Universe unless it's a life-or-death battle.
"Damn it, my Minor Universe Origin is being rapidly devoured; this is clearly forcing me to reappear!"
The Dream Demon Ancestor knew without a doubt that Zhang Junbao had descended.
It was a blatant threat, leaving the Dream Demon Ancestor completely helpless.
She couldn't win in a fight, and she couldn't escape either; she couldn't possibly hide Miniature Universe with a diameter of one hundred million light-years.
The Dream Demon Ancestor didn't know how terrifying the World Beast were, but she certainly felt how terrifying Zhang Junbao was.
A special being capable of devouring the origins of the Universe Supreme Master' Minor Universe Origin poses a deadly threat to any of the strongest beings in the Universe Ocean.
"What was bound to happen has finally happened!"
When the Dream Demon Ancestor returned to her Miniature Universe, she saw that the Daoist Sanfeng Zhang Junbao, the Giant Axe Founder, the Chaos City Lord, and the Original Ancestor's incarnation were all standing in front of her Minor Universe Origin, looking at her with smiles on their faces.
" Dream Demon Ancestor, it's been a long time!"
" Daoist Sanfeng, I knew it was you. Are you here to take my life?"
The Dream Demon Ancestor completely gave up resisting, and even the Earthquake Demon Ancestor died at Zhang Junbao's hands. She did not believe that she could fight against three opponents at once, even within her Miniature Universe.
"I should say I'm here to give the Demon Race race a way out."
"Exterminate your clan, or submit to me. The choice is yours," Zhang Junbao said calmly.
No one doubted the weight of these words. With the current strength of the Demon Race, they simply couldn't withstand the attacks of four beings at the level of the Universe Supreme Master. Moreover, the Minor Universe Origin was in Zhang Junbao's hands.
"Do I even have a choice?" the Dream Demon Ancestor said in grief and indignation.
"But are you capable of enslaving the Universe Supreme Master?"
"I have my own methods. This black thread will remain attached to the Minor Universe Origin, drawing divine power from you. If you try to resist, it will completely drain your origin in a very short time. Don't doubt my words."
At this point, the ' Empress Palace ' that the Chaos City Lord once held, now the ' Chaos Temple ', rapidly expanded in size.
"This is the ' Empress Palace '! Since even the Zerg Queen has been defeated by you, I haven't received any message at all." The last glimmer of hope in the Dream Demon Ancestor's eyes was extinguished.
Even the Zerg Queen couldn't escape, so it's impossible for her to either.
"Submit, and I may consider setting you free after I have destroyed the World Beast. Otherwise, die now!"
The Dream Demon Ancestor had no choice but to either die now or choose to believe that Zhang Junbao could eliminate the World Beast and survive, perhaps even living a little longer. If he were to perish completely like the Earthquake Demon Ancestor, then all hope would be lost.
At this moment, the Original Ancestor, dressed in white robes, stepped forward and said, "I never imagined that what I couldn't accomplish would be achieved by you."
"You are... the Original Ancestor!"
Only then did the Dream Demon Ancestor notice the Original Ancestor avatar.
"You've actually been released!"
At this moment, the Dream Demon Ancestor's face showed a look of utter disbelief. If the Original Ancestor had been released, then no force in the entire Universe Ocean could possibly resist him; this man was an inescapable demon in the entire Universe Ocean.
With Zhang Junbao and the Original Ancestor together, suppressing the Universe Ocean was no longer a challenge.
"It's just an avatar, merely a manifestation of free will; there's no need to make a fuss about it."
After subduing the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Crystal Race Holy Ancestor and the Prison Race Demon Lord also could not escape the fate of being enslaved. After the Zerg, Demon Race, Crystal Race, and Prison Race were enslaved, the Original Universe were completely destroyed, leaving only the strongest race— the Human Race!
Everything was happening quietly, and even most of the powerful beings in the universe were unaware that the Four Peak Races that were once on par with Human Race had long since changed hands. Even the powerful beings of these four races were unaware that the Controller of their races had become servants of Human Race.
Many people were even relieved that, after so many years, the Human Race seemed to have forgotten about them and hadn't come after them.
On a desolate planet in the universe, the two strongest beings, the Northern Xinjiang Alliance Leader and the Island Master Shihua, were looking at each other with solemn expressions.
