Zerg Territory, Empress Palace.
The Zerg Queen lay languidly on her throne.
A moment later, she slowly opened her eyes and looked outside the palace, where a petite figure hurriedly returned.
" Minglian... didn't you say you were going to explore the Universe Ocean? Why are you back?"
The Zerg Queen's voice was gentle, like a mother's voice to her child.
"Empress!"
The Lord Minglian spoke with great urgency.
"Just recently, I traveled from the Primal Universe membrane to the Universe Ocean, intending to venture to a place I frequent. However, I never expected to discover a new Small Universe so soon after setting out."
"A new Small Universe?"
The Zerg Queen's smile vanished; she sat up straight, her tone becoming somewhat serious.
She knew exactly what this meant.
A new small universe represents a new strongest person in the universe, while other reincarnation eras, including the Holy Land universe, usually do not have the strongest person in the universe, so they can only be born in their original universe. A new strongest person in the universe, no matter which force it is born in, will have a great impact on the pattern of the original universe.
" Minglian, do you know who the master of that Small Universe is?"
"Your Majesty, I know, this is what I'm about to tell you." The wings on the back of the Lord Minglian trembled slightly, revealing her fluctuating emotions. She said, "The master of that new Small Universe is the Chaos City Lord of the Human Race!"
"What? It's the Chaos City Lord... Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Upon hearing this name, the Zerg Queen immediately stood up... For the Zerg, this was the last piece of news she wanted to hear.
The Human Race was already powerful enough with the Lord of Myriad Laws and the Giant Axe Founder, suppressing the Zerg and the Machine Race. Now, with the addition of another Universe Supreme Master, the balance has been completely broken.
"Your Majesty, there's absolutely no mistake. When I was observing from outside the Small Universe, the Chaos City Lord even appeared and communicated with me."
The Lord Minglian explained.
"He showed up again... but didn't make things difficult for you?" the Zerg Queen asked worriedly.
"No! He invited me into his Small Universe, but how could I dare enter the Small Universe of the Universe Supreme Master? So I made an excuse and slipped away." The Lord Minglian sighed and asked, "Your Majesty, now that the Human Race has gained another Universe Supreme Master, what should we do?"
"What should I do...? How would I know what to do? Tell me the location of that Small Universe, and I'll ask the Mechanical Father God to see if we can come up with a suitable solution."
The Zerg Queen rubbed her head, feeling extremely annoyed. After news of the Human Race's annihilation of King Zhen Jia and Haolei Star Lord reached her, she dared not leave the Primal Universe. But unexpectedly, one piece of bad news after another arrived. The Human Race, already the Universe Supreme Master! Even if they joined forces with the Machine Race, they would probably find it difficult to deal with the Human Race.
As for the previous negotiations... the Zerg Queen had little hope.
Negotiations are predicated on equal footing between the two sides. If the two sides are not equal, the Human Race will be powerless to intervene if they take action!
" Minglian, your message is very important. Inform the other Universe Master to be careful lately and not to provoke conflict with the Human Race. Don't give the Human Race any excuse. We'll make a decision after I return."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Zerg Queen vanished.
Half a day later.
Outside the Chaos City Lord's Small Universe, two figures quietly appeared, watching this brand-new Small Universe from afar.
Their complexions were not good.
"Mechanical... Human Race has gained another of the Universe Supreme Master, and he's also the Chaos City Lord. Once he breaks through, if he possesses an Supreme Supreme Treasure, he might immediately become our equal. Add to that the Lord of Myriad Laws and the Giant Axe Founder..."
"The Zerg Queen asked."
The Mechanical Father God, his body hunched over, was momentarily at a loss as to how to respond.
If the two strongest members of the Demon Race were still alive, and the Demon Race had not yet been divided up, they could have sought out the two Demon Race ancestors to join forces and curb the development of the Human Race. But now, the Human Race can no longer be restrained.
If the Human Race wants to expand, the Machine Race and the Zerg will inevitably be the first to bear the brunt.
"Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?"
"The Mechanical Father God asked in a muffled voice."
"There's not much we can do. We can't win a fight, so what else can we do? Cede territory and pay reparations... As long as the Human Race accepts these territories, they shouldn't attack us for a while."
"Cease territory and pay reparations? You make it sound so easy. Do you know how insatiable the Human Race is? They might not care if their Zerg is too small. Your Zerg population isn't large; a small amount of territory is enough for survival. But we Machine Race need vast amounts of resources to evolve. If we don't have enough territory, how can we develop? That's slow suicide!"
The Mechanical Father God was somewhat dissatisfied with this suggestion.
"Mechanical! You need to see the reality. This isn't a matter of slow suicide anymore; it's a matter of the Human Race making a move, potentially destroying both our territories and driving us out like they did with the Demon Race." The Zerg Queen chuckled. "Could it be that your mechanical race can withstand the combined might of Myriad Laws, Giant Axe, and Chaos? Or perhaps you can find the Universe Supreme Master to fight against the Human Race?"
Upon hearing this, the Mechanical Father God's expression changed slightly.
He has the Universe Supreme Master.
But asking them to defend against the invasion of Human Race is absolutely impossible; making such a request would mean the end of any friendship.
The Human Race's reputation now resounds throughout the entire Universe Ocean. Even among the old guard from the first and Second Reincarnation Era, few dare to offend Human Race. "If the Human Race is willing to coexist peacefully, I can give them the territory I previously occupied from the Demon Race Human Race..."
The Mechanical Father God finally relented.
"Your Machine Race only occupy 100 star sectors of the Demon Race..." The Zerg Queen frowned slightly.
The Machine Race occupies 100 star sectors, while the Zerg occupies 300. If this proposal were followed, and the Zerg were to also cede the Demon Race Territory, they would suffer a great loss.
"Your Majesty, your Zerg numbers are small, and your territory is more than enough. Our Machine Race Territory is already very strained." The Mechanical Father God looked at the Zerg Queen. "If you suffer a little loss, the alliance between our two top races will make the Human Race more wary. They've taken the benefits, so they shouldn't attack us."
"Mechanical... I need to think about it."
"Okay, we'll keep in touch."
In the blink of an eye, the two strongest figures vanished.
Inside the Empress Palace in the Zerg Territory.
After returning from the Universe Ocean, the Zerg Queen summoned all the Zerg's Universe Master together.
" The Machine Race is unreliable. They value territory too much and want to take advantage of us Zerg. Since they want us to suffer, then we'll suffer even more. I have no intention of forming Machine Race Alliance."
The Zerg Queen immediately stated her thoughts. "Your Majesty, the Human Race is currently powerful. If we don't Machine Race Alliance, how will we deal with Human Race?"
The one speaking was the beautiful, emerald-green Zerg Mother Emperor, the Zerg's Lord E Luo.
The Zerg Queen shook her head slightly.
"Given the current strength of the Human Race, even if we join forces with the Machine Race, we are most likely no match for them. The Machine Race couldn't even defeat the Demon Race Universe Master; their combat power is pathetic. Not to mention the armor in the hands of the Human Lord of Myriad Laws, which can unleash Will Impact. We simply cannot cope with it!"
"Since we can't defeat them even if we unite, why unite against the Human Race? I plan to give all five hundred star sectors—three hundred from the Demon Race race and two hundred from our Zerg bordering humanity—to the Human Race in order to ensure long-term stability!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Universe Master changed drastically.
But the Zerg Queen didn't finish speaking, and neither did they voice their objections.
"Our Zerg has about a thousand star sectors in total. The Demon Race Territory is alright, since we've occupied most of it anyway, and we've plundered all the resources that are useful to us. These two hundred star sectors are indeed too many for the Zerg, but there's no other way... For the continuation of our Zerg, we have to do this."
"We gave them five hundred star sectors, leaving us with seven hundred, which is enough for our survival... We won't be greatly affected. The Human Race, on the other hand, just occupied more than a thousand star sectors from the Demon Race, and it will take them a long time to digest them. With our five hundred added, it will take the Human Race a very, very long time to fully digest these territories... Even after they finish digesting them, if they want to make a move, they will definitely target the Machine Race, and there's no need for them to target us, who have been so generous."
"But even if we manage to buy peace for now, after the Human Race has absorbed these territories, if they attack the Machine Race, then after the Machine Race is defeated, the Human Race will still attack us Zerg!"
"This is what the Master of Dark Pupa said."
"Time! Don't forget time... Have you forgotten the World Beast Calamity?" A hint of wariness flashed in the Zerg Queen's eyes. She said, "I've inquired. This World Beast Calamity isn't unfounded. Even the Holy Land Universe takes it very seriously. Those World Beast destroy everything. Once they appear, the Human Race will need to focus all its efforts on dealing with them; there simply won't be time to attack us." "As long as we keep the Machine Race in the lead, coupled with the World Beast Crisis, we can stall until the Primal Universe ends... By then, we won't be able to enter the Primal Universe, and any more territory will be useless!"
Upon hearing the Zerg Queen's words, all the Universe Master fell silent.
They all knew that.
There are no other options; this is the best way. In short, just stall until the Primal Universe is destroyed.
However, the Queen's safety is of paramount importance in order to implement this plan. She must not be allowed to be in any danger, since none of them currently have any hope of breaking through to the level of the Universe Supreme Master.
" Minglian..." the Zerg Queen said solemnly, "You discovered the Chaos City Lord's Small Universe, so this matter will be entrusted to you. You will act as our Zerg's envoy to negotiate with the Human Race. You already know the conditions: five hundred star sectors, provided that the Human Race 'Lord of Myriad Laws or the Giant Axe Founder publicly agrees not to attack our Zerg."
"Your Majesty, I will certainly complete the task you have entrusted to me."
The Lord Minglian took a deep breath, feeling an immense pressure on her body.
Virtual Universe, Mount of Gods.
All the powerful members of the Human Race, except for the Original Ancestor, gathered together, and everyone wore excited smiles.
"Lord of the City, congratulations on your breakthrough! Our Human Race is growing ever stronger!"
The Ganwu Country Lord raised his wine cup and laughed heartily. After becoming the Universe Master, the Ganwu Country Lord was naturally qualified to participate in the gathering of the Universe Master, and his status was not low, with his seat preceding Ling Yu and Luo Feng.
" Ganwu... I was able to break through thanks to Qingshan and Giant Axe... If they hadn't joined forces to kill King Zhen Jia and Haolei Star Lord, and obtained the blessing of the Will of the Original Universe, I wouldn't have been able to see the path ahead so quickly. Moreover, it was mainly due to the inheritance that Qingshan obtained from the East Emperor Holy Land."
The Chaos City Lord looked in Lu Qingshan's direction, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
For Universe Master to break through to become the Universe Supreme Master is incredibly difficult. Without a lineage, even the Chaos City Lord wouldn't have much confidence.
"That inheritance is indeed precious. I benefited greatly from it, and I estimate that it won't be long before I can attempt a breakthrough."
Lord Peng Gong also had a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Peng Gong!"
"We also owe a great debt to the Lord of Myriad Laws. Without him, where would our Human Race find such a precious heritage?"
"Yes, thanks to the Lord of Myriad Laws. Let us all raise a toast to the Lord of Myriad Laws."
Everyone raised their glasses.
Lu Qingshan also raised his wine glass and smiled slightly, "You're all too kind. For the sake of Human Race!"
"For humanity." Everyone drank together.
Since many of the Human Race 'Universe Master were venturing into the Universe Ocean, the banquet for the Chaos City Lord, who had broken through to become the Universe Supreme Master, was held in the Virtual Universe, and it lasted for more than three years.
Human Race is thriving, powerful individuals are emerging, and everyone is filled with hope for the future.
After a few rounds of drinks, Luo Feng quietly walked up to Lu Qingshan.
"Teacher, I've arrived at the Black Pattern Stone Pillar. I heard you're there too."
"I'm in the area where Time Acceleration by 99,000 times at No. 9 Black Pattern Stone Pillar," Lu Qingshan nodded and said.
"I'm at No. 2 Black Pattern Stone Pillar. I heard that Black-Patterned Stone Pillar No. 9 has been occupied by the Blood Orchid Ancestor." Luo Feng was astonished and shocked by his teacher's location. His willpower was already exaggerated, and he only reached the position of 3,000 times acceleration, but he didn't expect his teacher to be at 99,000 times acceleration.
The difference is just too big!
Isn't it said that Earthling have a strong will? Teachers weren't born on Earth, after all!
Lu Qingshan ignored his disciple's speculations and smiled as he spoke.
"Go to the No. 1 Black Pattern Stone Pillar first, I need to talk to you about something!"
"Yes, teacher. I'll be right there." Luo Feng nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. Every time his teacher summoned him, something good usually happened. Could it be that his teacher had something wonderful to bestow upon him this time?
