After Luo Feng left, Lu Qingshan stood under the World Tree, gazing towards the direction of the Zerg Territory.
" The Chaos City Lord has already set off; it's time for me to make a trip to the Zerg."
He took a step, and his figure disappeared into the Divine Kingdom.
Zerg Territory, Empress Palace.
This is a colossal palace suspended in the void, its surface shrouded in countless intricate patterns of laws.
Around the palace, countless Zerg Warrior hovered and patrolled, each exuding an aura of Immortal God.
The atmosphere in the palace was heavy at this moment.
The Zerg Queen sat on her throne, her dreamlike, transparent butterfly wings fluttering gently behind her. At this moment, the Universe Supreme Master in the Primal Universe, possessing immense power, had a look of utter exhaustion in her eyes.
Opposite her were almost all the Zerg Universe Master: the Lord Minglian, the Master of Dark Pupa, the Lord Bilong, the Lord E Luo...
"The messenger from the Human Race will arrive soon."
The Lord Minglian spoke first, her voice tinged with unease. "Who has come?"
"The Zerg Queen asked."
" Lord of Myriad Laws."
The main hall was completely silent.
This name has become a taboo among the Zerg high command.
The Zerg Queen personally witnessed the battle in the Universe Ocean. She, along with the Mechanical Father God and many other powerful figures, were among the spectators.
In that battle, nearly a hundred Universe Master the Purple Moon Holy Land were killed by the Lord of Myriad Laws, shaking the Universe Ocean.
Although he is only a Universe Master, the Lord of Myriad Laws' strength has surpassed that of any other Universe Supreme Master in the Universe Ocean.
What's even more distressing is that the Zerg have always been hostile to the Human Race, and over the years, she has tried her best to resolve the grudges, but the results have not been very good.
" The Lord of Myriad Laws has come in person..."
The Zerg Queen sighed softly. "It seems the Human Race has no intention of giving us any room for negotiation."
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" asked the Lord Bilong.
"Let's meet him first."
The Zerg Queen stood up and looked outside the palace. " The Lord of Myriad Laws has arrived. Let's go and greet him."
Empress Palace, Lu Qingshan's figure appeared out of thin air.
He wore a long blue robe and had a gentle face, without any hint of the imposing aura of a powerful figure. But the moment he appeared, the surrounding Zerg Warrior involuntarily took a few steps back, driven by a fear stemming from their very survival instincts.
Zerg Warrior are naturally powerful, exceptionally intelligent, and have a keen sense of danger.
Even within the Primal Universe, where strength is severely limited, Lu Qingshan's 20,000-fold Gene Multiplier has already broken the limitations of Perfect Gene, making him a higher-dimensional life form for these Zerg.
The Zerg Mother Emperor held a mixture of wariness and reverence in their eyes toward the Lord of Myriad Laws, this almost invincible being.
" The Lord of Myriad Laws has graced us with his presence; we have failed to greet him properly."
The Zerg Queen's voice echoed from the palace, and she emerged with several Universe Master.
"Your Majesty is too kind." Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and stepped into the Empress Palace. This was not the Empress's most powerful Supreme Treasure Palace, but just an ordinary palace.
Inside the main hall, both parties took their seats.
Lu Qingshan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Your Majesty, you should have already guessed why I've come today."
"Does the Human Race need the territory of our Zerg?"
"The Zerg Queen asked."
"Right."
Lu Qingshan nodded, "Now that the strength of our human race has far exceeded the previous monster race, Zerg race, and mechanical race combined, the pattern of the original universe should also be re-divided. The territory of the Zerg race is the core territory of the original universe, and our human race must get it."
"The entire territory... the appetite of the Human Race is truly insatiable..."
The Master of Dark Pupa couldn't help but speak.
Lu Qingshan glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.
But that one glance sent chills down the spine of the Master of Dark Pupa, who dared not utter another sound. Although he was Fourth-Order Universe Master, the Lord of Myriad Laws could kill him without even a single move.
" Dark Pupa, how dare you be so rude!" The Zerg Queen quickly rebuked him, then looked at Lu Qingshan.
" The Lord of Myriad Laws, the Primal Universe, where strength reigns supreme. Humanity is powerful, and we, the Zerg, have been given a way to survive. We are very grateful, and we can cede those territories... But I have one request: I hope the Zerg can join the Hongmeng Alliance."
"Join the Hongmeng Alliance?"
Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback, not expecting the Zerg Queen to make such a request.
However, after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.
"Your Majesty, you should understand that the Human Race no longer needs the Hongmeng Alliance to counterbalance other forces. On the contrary, allowing the Zerg to join the Hongmeng Alliance will only bring us trouble."
The Zerg Queen fell silent.
She understood what Lu Qingshan meant.
The Human Race has become so powerful that it no longer needs any allies, and the Zerg joining the Hongmeng Alliance will only create an unstable force within the Human Alliance.
The Hongmeng Alliance was an alliance formed by the Human Race to compete with the Three Great Peak Races.
Now, the Hongmeng Alliance has become a burden on humanity.
If it weren't for the Human Race's emphasis on loyalty and camaraderie, they would probably all want to disband the Hongmeng Alliance directly. How could they possibly continue to stuff powerful individuals from other races into the Hongmeng Alliance? Lu Qingshan glanced at the Zerg Queen, seeing her tearful appearance, and shook his head slightly, saying, "It's definitely impossible for the entire Zerg to join the Hongmeng Alliance. I can allow two Universe Master to join the Hongmeng Alliance as a liaison between the Zerg and humanity."
"Two Universe Master?"
The Zerg Queen's face lit up with joy as she looked at the Lord Minglian and the Lord Bilong.
" Minglian, Bilong, are you willing?"
"Willing."
The Lord Minglian and the Lord Bilong nodded simultaneously.
They knew this was the Zerg's last shred of dignity.
If they do not agree, the Human Race can forcibly drive them away without paying any price, at which point the Zerg will have nothing left.
The addition of Universe Master to the Hongmeng Alliance can be seen as a safeguard for the Zerg by humanity. The Human Race will not hold past grievances against them, and as long as the Hongmeng Alliance exists, the Zerg will not face hostility or attacks from humanity.
They might even have a chance to follow in the footsteps of humans and get some leftovers.
"Then it's settled."
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Lu Qingshan stood up. "Our Human Race will send people to take over the handover of the territory. You should clear the territory as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstandings. The two Universe Master can report to the Hongmeng Alliance at any time."
After saying this, he turned and left, his figure disappearing outside the Empress Palace.
After Lu Qingshan left, silence fell once again in the Empress Palace.
"Your Majesty, do you really intend to completely relinquish all territories?"
The Master of Dark Pupa asked unwillingly.
"Otherwise what?"
The Zerg Queen smiled bitterly, "Even the Purple Moon Holy Land couldn't withstand the Lord of Myriad Laws, and the five True Master of the Divine Eye Clan were overwhelmed by the Giant Axe. Now, humanity has Chaos, and Peng Gong, two of the Universe Supreme Master. Humanity also has the Duan Donghe Inheritance, and will only grow stronger. What can we do? If we voluntarily give up, at least we can preserve our dignity. If we don't agree, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable."
"But..."
"There are no 'buts'."
The Zerg Queen interrupted her, "Even without its strongest, the Demon Race can still survive in the Primal Universe. Although we Zerg have lost the core territory of the Primal Universe, as long as there are seeds left, we can still continue. It's just a matter of competing for some more territory to survive."
She stood up, her gaze sweeping over all the Zerg Universe Master: "Pass down the order: all Zerg must prepare to migrate. Take as many resources as possible from our territory, leaving humanity only an empty shell." "Yes, sir."
All the Zerg Universe Master responded in unison.
Abandoning their territory would allow them to continue their lineage and resolve their conflicts with the Human Race. Refusing to relinquish their territory would only lead to their extermination. The Zerg, with their intellect, naturally knew which choice to make.
Within the Machine Race Territory, in a magnificent metal palace.
The metallic walls reflected the figures of the Mechanical Father God and the ten Universe Master.
The Chaos City Lord has just left.
However, the Chaos City Lord's words infuriated the Machine Race 'Universe Master.
"Damn Chaos!"
A Universe Master slammed his fist on the metal table. "Who does he think he is? To expect us to hand over our entire territory with just a word? Those territories are the foundation of our Machine Race Machine Race. If we give them up, how are we supposed to survive?"
What can you do if you don't pay?
Another Universe Master smiled bitterly, "Humans are so powerful, possessing several of the Universe Supreme Master, including the Giant Axe and the Lord of Myriad Laws. We, the Machine Race, only have our Father God. Even with the Zerg added, we are no match for humans." "Even if humans are powerful, this is still too much of a bullying!"
"They have that kind of strength, so what can we do? Are we supposed to resist? Everyone knows what happened to the Demon Race race."
" The Demon Race has no strongest, we..."
"Alright!"
The Mechanical Father God finally spoke, his voice hoarse. The other Universe Master also looked at the hunched figure on the main seat.
"Even the Purple Moon Holy Land has been defeated, and the Divine Eye Clan has bowed their heads. What makes us, the Machine Race, think we can stand against them?"
" The Chaos City Lord are taking a very tough stance. Why are they so tough? Because they are certain we will back down, because if we don't, our entire clan will be wiped out!"
"We are no match for the Human Race, nor can we find allies to fight against them. I just received news that the Zerg have also retreated. We cannot become the target of the Human Race's ' killing the chicken to scare the monkey.'"
"Retreat!"
"Father God, if we abandon our territory, how will our Machine Race survive? Without territory, how will our Machine Race continue?"
Lord Hengxian sighed and said, "The growth and evolution of the Machine Race requires a lot of resources, and these resources come from territory. Without territory, it is a slow death for the Machine Race."
A resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the Mechanical Father God, and he said coldly, "Of course we need territory. When we invaded the Demon Race, the Prison Race took advantage of the chaos and profited greatly from us. Now, it's time for them to pay back."
"Does the Father God mean... to attack the Prison Race?"
"Right."
The Mechanical Father God stood up. "Although the Machine Race is far from being a match for humanity, dealing with the Prison Race shouldn't be too much of a problem."
"But the Prison Race is, after all, a top-tier clan, and it also has the Universe Supreme Master."
The Mechanical Father God snorted and said, " The Prison Race Demon Ancestor lacks Supreme Supreme Treasure and is not as strong as me. The number and quality of the Prison Race's Universe Master also cannot compare to ours. As long as we act quickly enough and seize enough territory before they can react, they will be helpless."
"Let's do it this way!"
"If we conquer the territory of the Prison Race, our Machine Race will still have hope of rising again."
"If we can't defeat the Human Race, can't we defeat the Prison Race?"
"Done!"
Hope rekindled in the eyes of several Machine Race Universe Master. Although unwilling, at least there was still a way to survive.
To survive, they must once again fight for territory.
But it's still better than the Demon Race.
With the Mechanical Father God still alive, possessing the Universe Supreme Master, it would be quite easy for them to occupy a territory in the Primal Universe. Even if they were to attack the Prison Race, they would have a very good chance of winning.
The core territories of the Four Peak Races are enough for the Human Race to reproduce for one Reincarnation Era. The Human Race cannot afford to start another conflict over territory, otherwise it would be making an enemy of the entire Primal Universe.
"Everyone, prepare for battle. I will contact the Crystal Race Holy Master, and we will act together with the Crystal Race... For the sake of the Machine Race, all of you Universe Master must give it your all!"
"For the Machine Race."
"For the Machine Race!"
All the Universe Master of the Machine Race spoke in unison.
