Earth Has Chosen Its Leaders, Standing Up to a Universe Master! Challenging the Illusion Sea! (4.3k)

Some Universe Master who are alone and have no family are quite calm at this time. They have no offspring, and Universe Master are unable to reproduce their bloodline. Universe Master are alone and only have some disciples naturally do not need to participate in this kind of dispute.

The Giant Axe Founder frowned, then immediately stood up and began to explain his position:

"Earth is special, but from my retrospective observations, its ability to nurture a powerful race is its limit. Earth has existed for a very long time, and it has only produced two geniuses, Chen Yi and Luo Feng. Their existence is also a chance occurrence beyond Earth's capabilities."

"And their journey to where they are today isn't entirely thanks to Earth."

"Earth has produced two geniuses, Chen Yi and Luo Feng, who will both become powerful Universe Master for our race in the future."

"If that's the case, it also means that Earth has elected their leader."

"Therefore... my view is that Earth should continue to belong to Chen Yi, and remain Earthling's Earth as usual. Human Race does not need to interfere."

"Ganwu Universe Country is under the jurisdiction of our Virtual Universe Company. Chen Yi is registered as the Earth Lord within the Ganwu Universe Country, which naturally means he is also under the highest authorization of our Virtual Universe Company. According to the regulations of the Virtual Universe Company, Chen Yi is the master of Earth, which is beyond doubt." The Chaos City Lord also spoke at this moment.

The several Universe Masters of the Universe Mercenary Alliance each have their own family factions and are the ones who need Earth the most. Their leader, Lord Huang Jian, naturally spoke on their behalf, "According to the data provided by Giant Axe, Earth's value far exceeds that of a normal planet, and it is comparable to Peak Supreme Treasure."

"Even though Chen Yi is the master of Earth, after he joined the Virtual Universe Company and even received training from our Human Race."

"He even has access to some low-level Supreme Treasure from our Human Race's Supreme Treasure vault."

"As a genius, he shouldn't always be enjoying himself. The Earth is so vast; giving some of it to his people wouldn't be a problem, would it?"

Upon hearing this, the Chaos City Lord was about to say something.

Chen Yi, however, spoke directly:

"Senior Huang Jian's words are quite interesting."

"If I remember correctly, the Lord Huang Jian was also Human Race genius back then, and he also enjoyed the highest level of training and treatment from the Human Race." So...

"Shouldn't we return something now?"

All the Universe Master turned their gazes to Chen Yi, surprised that a junior Chen Yi would dare to directly confront the Lord Huang Jian the Desolate Realm.

They saw that Chen Yi's expression was calm, as if he had great confidence.

They were all somewhat confused.

Chen Yi was of course not afraid. In these ten thousand years... he hadn't been idle. His life-saving trump cards had always been a key focus of his research!

"Huang Jian, and those of you with families, I know you want to cultivate your own families, but... you are already Universe Master, able to allocate so many cultivation resources, but what about your descendants?"

"Even with your resources, you haven't produced many truly strong individuals."

The Giant Axe Founder was afraid that things would get out of hand, especially since Chen Yi was still too weak to confront the Universe Master head-on, so he had to stand up for him and speak on his behalf.

The Lord Huang Jian then stood up, looked at Chen Yi, and said:

"The descendants of Human Race!"

"Back then, I didn't possess any treasures as precious as those on Earth, so I can't really say I've repaid anything. Now, after so many years as the Universe Master, my contributions to Human Race have long surpassed the resources I initially used."

"I deserved all that special training I received."

"Huang Jian, calm down!" The Giant Axe Founder's voice became a little harsher.

The Lord Huang Jian roared, "Giant Axe, how dare a junior point fingers at me? What do I need to be calm about?"

"Senior Huang Jian..." Chen Yi said calmly, "According to you, you enjoyed the resources and paid them back after becoming the Universe Master. Why should I have to use Earth to settle the debt now that I'm enjoying the resources?"

"If that's how you understand it."

"Could I consider that by giving up Earth now, I am actually making a deal with Human Race, repaying them for all the nurturing I received? In that case, I wouldn't need to make any further contributions to Human Race, except for my teachers and some seniors who have been kind to me. Everything else is meaningless to me."

"Absolutely unrelated..."

"If that's the case, then I'll use the Earth to repay all the past kindness and nurturing that all the geniuses in my Mutual Aid Alliance have received."

"The value of the Earth should be repaid."

These words moved many of the Universe Master at the meeting.

If, as Chen Yi said, the Human Race's training of Chen Yi became a transaction, then... Chen Yi would not belong to the Human Race.

His future.

Even Luo Feng and the geniuses of the Mutual Aid Alliance —these are far more than a single Peak Supreme Treasure can compare to.

Those Universe Master originally had no family factions were now dissatisfied with the way the meeting had escalated to this point.

Lord Peng Gong even spoke directly:

"Huang Jian meant it or not, we at the Universe Galaxy Bank certainly didn't. We support Giant Axe's suggestion. Earth has already elected its leader, and it shouldn't be asking for anything more from Earth."

"Furthermore, Huang Jian, you should let go of some of your family descendants and instead take on a few talented disciples."

The Chaos City Lord stood up, pulled Chen Yi to sit in his seat, and gestured for Chen Yi to sit down. Chen Yi knew that his teacher was there to support him, so he didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly in the very center of all the Universe Master of the Virtual Universe Company faction.

The Chaos City Lord stood before Chen Yi, looked at the Lord Huang Jian, and said:

"Huang Jian, the Human Race isn't something you can control alone. Besides... if the Human Race really doesn't want my disciple, my Virtual Universe Company repay the Human Race's resource investment, and then we can train him ourselves. That's not impossible."

"However, let me make this clear from the outset: even if my Virtual Universe Company trains them independently, this Earth will have nothing to do with the Universe Mercenary Alliance."

"..." Lord Huang Jian looked at the entire audience. Even the Universe Master of the clans did not dare to stand up and support him at this moment.

The Giant Axe Founder shook his head and said, "This is just a meeting for discussion. Please don't be so angry. Now, let's take the first vote—I support the Earth Lineage continuing to belong to Chen Yi. There is no need for the Human Race to reclaim it."

Eighteen Universe Master.

One by one, the votes were taken... Except for the Universe Mercenary Alliance, almost everyone immediately expressed their agreement. Except for some special circumstances, a majority vote usually meant that the decision could be implemented.

Lord Huang Jian waited a long time before finally raising his hand, and the other Universe Master of the Universe Mercenary Alliance immediately followed suit.

"The Universe Mercenary Alliance has also agreed." The Giant Axe Founder smiled. Although the Lord Huang Jian had his own selfish interests, seeing that things were not going well, he did not continue to oppose it and continued to maintain the unity of the Human Race.

Finally, the Giant Axe Founder announced:

"Unanimously approved; the issue of Earth no longer needs to be raised."

"The ownership of Earth will continue to be controlled by Chen Yi. The news about Earth is undoubtedly good news; our Human Race's future Earth Lineage... already has two future Universe Master: Chen Yi and Luo Feng."

"The future also holds a vital strength for our Human Race!"

One by one, the Universe Master departed.

Chen Yi followed the Chaos City Lord arrived at his main hall, where he was about to discuss with his teacher how to protect the Earth.

Even if the Universe Master don't tell anyone about it.

With so many powerful individuals emerging on Earth, it's possible that it will attract the attention of Alien Race.

The Chaos City Lord suggested that they could ask the Universe Mercenary Alliance to send mercenaries... This left Chen Yi somewhat bewildered, as he had just argued with the Lord Huang Jian.

But at this time, he received an email from the Lord Huang Jian.

"Today's debate revolves solely around the ownership of the Earth."

"Your courage surprises me, but they're right, you are indeed more important to Human Race than Earth."

"However, I must remind you that the Alien Race may already know about the situation on Earth. Even without our forces, you must be careful to protect it yourself. How about we make a deal? You give me a few islands on Earth, and my Universe Mercenary Alliance will send mercenaries to protect it for you."

"Whenever you feel you can protect yourself, you can terminate the contract at any time and demand that our island residents evacuate."

Upon receiving this email, Chen Yi was somewhat surprised... What was the Lord Huang Jian doing? What was he plotting?

Chen Yi told the Chaos City Lord about this matter.

The Chaos City Lord explained that the Lord Huang Jian meant exactly what he said: that he hadn't obtained ownership of Earth and wanted to make some deals with him.

If necessary, Chen Yi can confidently discuss matters with the Lord Huang Jian. Competing for interests at meetings is different from normal internal transactions.

As the founder of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, Lord Huang Jian can be said to be the most trustworthy among all the Human Race Universe Master.

Even because of the Lord Huang Jian, the higher-ups of the Universe Mercenary Alliance are basically the same, and they have always valued credibility. As long as the commission is sufficient and the contract is fulfilled, they will definitely give a reasonable explanation.

This is why the Chaos City Lord suggested that the matter of protecting Earth could be handled by the Universe Mercenary Alliance; as long as an agreement was reached with them, there was no need to worry about any problems.

This reminded Chen Yi of the original plot.

After Luo Feng relinquished some control of Earth, many descendants of the Universe Master families on Earth broke the rules and acted arrogantly and domineeringly towards the Earthling... But now it seems that since the Chaos City Lord said that the Lord Huang Jian values credibility very much.

Those people are probably not descendants of the Lord Huang Jian.

During the meeting just now, quite a few Universe Master actually wanted to fight for some private interests for their families, but Chen Yi's bargaining chips were too high, and no one dared to go against him... It's even possible that those who broke the rules were descendants of the Universe Master' families.

After all, the Lord Huang Jian is only a figurehead in name only.

Thinking about this...

Chen Yi planned to make a deal with the Lord Huang Jian. After the news spread, Earth did indeed need protection. Since the Chaos City Lord said that the Lord Huang Jian's credibility was not a problem, they could make a proper agreement and use a few islands on Earth temporarily lent to the Lord Huang Jian as a bargaining chip.

Trading it for the safety of the entire Earth from Alien Race invasion is a pretty good deal.

In the email, Chen Yi and the Lord Huang Jian resumed their negotiations on the contract after their argument at the meeting.

Chen Yi proposed that the descendants of the Lord Huang Jian should not harass the native inhabitants of Earth, or even have any contact with them. The Lord Huang Jian agreed without hesitation, and instead set a protection fee for the size of the "island".

The Lord Huang Jian haggled and haggled over every penny.

As for the level of protection, the Lord Huang Jian promised that the protection would be led by Universe Overlord and would involve some modifications to Earth. This protection would be stronger than the core-level protection of Universe Country, and even Universe Master could withstand some resistance from his Divine Kingdom Teleportation support.

A final agreement was reached.

"I never imagined that the task of protecting the Earth would ultimately fall to the Lord Huang Jian, with whom I had just argued." Chen Yi found it amusing.

Next, he planned to venture into the Illusion Sea to test his willpower.

The Illusion Sea has 21 levels in total. Only those with the will and consciousness of Universe Venerable level can pass through the 21st level. Below the Undying level, consciousness is the same as realm.

To break through the illusionary realm requires a strong consciousness and will.

With willpower as the commander-in-chief, manipulating consciousness to break through illusions one by one, Chen Yi currently only possesses the consciousness of World Lord Level. If World Lord Level consciousness wants to pass through the twenty-first level of the Illusion Sea, then even Universe Venerable level willpower would not be able to pass through.

But now.

Chen Yi felt he could give it a shot.

The laws are straightforward, but as for willpower, he needs to verify his current cultivation progress.

After nearly ten thousand years of honing his skills, he had reached an unbelievable level, but he really had no idea how strong he was.

Headquarters of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

It was also in a Cosmic Secret Realm, where the Lord Huang Jian and other Universe Master of the Universe Mercenary Alliance gathered together.

"Huang Jian, how is it? Did Chen Yi agree?" a Universe Master asked. The Universe Master of their Universe Mercenary Alliance all had descendants, so they were the most enthusiastic about Earth. However, in fact, the Universe Master other forces also had their own ideas.

This time... they were used as scapegoats again.

Lord Huang Jian nodded and said:

"The negotiations have been successful. He has agreed to temporarily lend us an island in the Pacific Ocean, which is quite large, covering approximately 300,000 square kilometers."

"It can be used while we're protecting it."

"The only minor conditions are that we cannot leave the island, we must use precise flight paths to enter and leave Earth, and we must not disturb the native inhabitants of Earth."

"Not bad... If we make good use of this, so that every time a child is born on Earth, a new spot becomes available for our respective families' new descendants... then we can cultivate quite a few geniuses." Another Universe Master thought this was already quite good.

As for the rule against disturbing the natives, they didn't see anything wrong with it. They sent their descendants to be born on Earth, wanting more talented offspring. What good would it do for them to interact with the natives? It would be completely pointless.

"Hmm, not bad. This kid even told me during the negotiations that he won't need my protection for long, and that we should make good use of the island we've leased to us." The Lord Huang Jian smiled, not taking it seriously...

The protective force he provided was such that, unless Chen Yi became the Universe Master, there might not be anyone more skilled at protecting him than the Universe Mercenary he sent out.

As for Chen Yi becoming the Universe Master, who knows when that will be?

Thinking of this, the Lord Huang Jian recalled the argument at the Giant Axe Meeting and grumbled, "Speaking of which... this kid hasn't grown up yet, he's just a World Lord, yet he dares to challenge me. It still makes me a little angry."

However, the other two Universe Masters of the Universe Mercenary Alliance ignored him.

The Lord Huang Jian looked over and suddenly noticed that the expressions of the two Universe Master beside him had changed, as if they had been stimulated by something.

"What's wrong?" Lord Huang Jian asked.

The Universe Master said with obvious shock on his face, "Chen Yi is conquering the Illusion Sea! He's conquered twenty levels of the Illusion Sea in one go, without stopping or pausing, and he's now on the last Illusion Sea!"

"That means only those with the will and consciousness of Universe Venerable level can pass through the twenty-first level!"
