Swallowed Star - Chapter 1091

Chapter 1091: Turmoil

“Earth? No way.”

“The disambiguation mirror stones. There are 36 of them. There is no way that one can replace Earth!”

Seeing how the other universe masters were disagreeing, Primal Chaos City Leader could not help but frown as he spoke. “Back when I came forward in the capacity of the Virtual Universe Company, I spent a mere 50 billion mixed elements to buy Earth’s ocean ownership rights. Those 50 billion mixed elements were not a one-time payment; it was split into three installments. Now that I am using this disambiguation mirror stone to trade… I think the amount should be about the same.”

“Primal Chaos City Leader!”

“Primal Chaos City Leader!”

Two universe masters called out at the same time. They looked at each other, then one of them?a giant with three sharp horns and a body covered with a scaly armor?said in a deep, low voice, “Back then, Luo Feng was a mere nobody. 50 billion mixed elements was a sky-high amount. Although you signed a contract in the name of the Virtual Universe Company… you also have an agreement with us, the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and some other parties! The Earth’s ocean ownership rights and ocean high-altitude ownership rights are shared among the five of us! All five of us have sent our descendants down to dwell on Earth. It has been 100,000 years since then, due to the unique characteristics of Earth, which you all should already know.

“What an amazing planet! The children who are born on Earth could be so much stronger in their ability to learn and acquire power. While their initial speed of improvement matches that of descendants on other planets, as time goes by, with continual learning and acquisition, the rate at which they improve far surpasses descendants on other planets. Sitting Mountain Guest is unbelievably remarkable. To think he could create such a planet! Who knows how many years he spent creating a planet where the souls of babies could undergo evolutionary changes? This is really too incredible for words.” The giant sighed in awe. “Sitting Mountain Guest really lives up to his status as the most senior of all universe supreme beings.”

Positioned at the highest societal level of the human race, they all knew about Sitting Mountain Guest. The human race might have universe supreme beings, but during the time when the universe was just emerging, humans were like toddlers stumbling about as they learned how to walk, slowly and unsteadily multiplying in numbers. At that time, the special life forms that ran rampant in the universe were the invincible beings. These special life forms were naturally endowed with strength and power, like the Eight Natural Beast Gods…

As for Sitting Mountain Guest, during the most ancient period following the birth of the universe, he had already become a loner among the universe supreme beings.

“Earth is continually creating great beings,” the giant continued in his low, deep voice. “It can create such a huge branch like the human race, giving it value not inferior to that of a pinnacle domain type true treasure. There is no way I will agree to trade it for anything that easily!”

“I disagree, too.”

“Disagreed.”

Authoritative figures of the two major powers, the Universe First Bank and the Universe Star River Bank, voiced their disagreements together. This worried Primal Chaos City Leader. He gave a slight frown.

“So, the disambiguation mirror stone. What should be done about it?” Huge Axe Creator’s booming voice sounded from his throne. “If no one is willing to return Earth, then Luo Feng will not be handing over the disambiguation mirror stone.”

“What our human race lacks is a supreme true treasure!” the giant continued. “As for the pinnacle domain type true treasure… considering this level, the human race already owns quite a few pieces. Besides, the disambiguation mirror stone only represents a chance of obtaining a true treasure of a pinnacle level. Haven’t we met with quite a number of similar chances so far? Like the Universe Ocean… If we dared to go all-out, it is possible to obtain a pinnacle domain type true treasure anytime.”

“With a one in 36 chance of obtaining a pinnacle domain type true treasure! Using this to trade for Earth is out of the question.”

“That’s right.”

“I agree with Deserted Mirror.”

The authoritative figures of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, Universe First Bank, and Universe Star River Bank voiced their opinions.

“Dear all. My disciple, Luo Feng,” Primal Chaos City Leader began. “His ability has reached that of a top-tier universe overlord standard.”

Hua!

All the universe masters, including Huge Axe Creator, looked over.

“Primal Chaos City Leader, you are not kidding?”

“Luo Feng just started cultivation not long ago. A top-tier universe overlord?”

“Have you witnessed it personally?”

“It can’t be true.”

“Impossible.”

Not a single one of the universe masters could believe that Luo Feng, who had only 10,000 years’ worth of cultivation and had only become undying 20,000 years ago was now at the top-tier universe overlord level. In the entire universe, almost no one would have found such a claim believable.

“Primal Chaos City Leader, is it true?” Huge Axe Creator could not help asking.

Primal Chaos City Leader scanned his surroundings. Then, with a slight nod, he replied, “I have yet to test it for myself. However, we have been teacher and disciple for 10,000 years, and based on my understanding of him… if he dares say so, it must be true!”

“You have yet to test him personally.”

“So, this claim is not tested or proven yet.”

The universe masters who had not really crossed paths with Luo Feng laughed and shook their heads.

Deserted Mirror, the authoritative figure of the Universe Mercenary Alliance laughed aloud. “Primal Chaos City Leader, Luo Feng may be using the disambiguation mirror stone and matters on Earth to add to his capital. He is taking advantage of his relationship with you. He may be saying it on purpose because he has faith that you, his teacher, will believe him.”

“Deserted Mirror, you think my disciple is like yours?” Primal Chaos City Leader said, his eyes burning with a trace of anger.

Deserted Mirror smiled but did not dare say anything further. After all, Primal Chaos City Leader wielded the highest authority in the Virtual Universe Company. In terms of ability or status, no one else present, other than Huge Axe Creator, was qualified to oppress him! Furthermore, even the primal universe was under his jurisdiction… All of these accolades raised Primal Chaos City Leader’s status by leaps and bounds.

Out of the five major powers within the human race, Huge Axe Dojo and the Virtual Universe Company were the strongest; the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Universe First Bank, and the Universe Star River Bank were one notch lower.

“If Luo Feng claims to be a top-tier universe overlord and wants to try his hand at entering the Disambiguation Temple, let him be. He needs to taste a little suffering. As for trading back Earth… the disambiguation mirror stone is a far cry from sufficient.”

“A disambiguation mirror stone in exchange for the Earth’s ownership rights is definitely unacceptable.”

Primal Chaos City Leader suppressed a sigh as he noted the circumstances. Noble beings such as these universe masters… How strange their temperaments were! Cold and arrogant, obstinate and unruly, kind to look at but ruthless in heart. These beings had so many faces! They could steer clear from touching the bottom line, so humans naturally would tolerate their presence. These super beings enjoyed special privileges, so long as they did not touch the bottom line!

Out of all the universe masters, Primal Chaos City Leader was usually the one who presided major events pertaining to issues of the human race. He was also the one who always held such issues in the highest regard.

From his point of view, Earth might be important, but regardless of whether geniuses were cultivated by other major powers, or cultivated by human dwellers living on Earth?weren’t they all essentially part of the human race? Overall, the human race was still strong and powerful and able to earn Luo Feng’s gratitude and loyalty. Furthermore, the humans’ territory was vast… even if there was a branch of Earth that was comparable to the Yan Shen race, it was still only a small part of the overall power of the human race.

The current matter concerns their own benefits, so none of them are willing to relent easily, thought Primal Chaos City Leader and sighed inwardly.

From his throne, Huge Axe Creator shouted his orders. “This discussion shall end here!”

The other universe masters fell silent as they looked toward him.

“Primal Chaos City Leader,” Huge Axe Creator said, looking at him.

With a slight bow to indicate his respect, Primal Chaos City Leader was on all ears.

“You have to inform Luo Feng that using the disambiguation mirror stone to exchange for Earth’s ownership rights is impossible. If he is unwilling to accept our other proposals, the race will not force him to.” Huge Axe Creator smiled. “As for Earth’s ownership rights… do tell him that so long as his ability and power could attain a certain level that is considered sufficient, then of course, nothing is impossible.”

Primal Chaos City Leader smiled. “I understand.”

On the contrary, the other universe masters were a little caught by surprise.

“Huge Axe Creator.”

“Huge Axe Creator, this…”

Huge Axe Creator’s gaze scanned the hall as he said coldly, “The time when Luo Feng is able to sit here with us will be the time to return Earth’s ownership rights to him.”

A couple of universe masters could only lower their heads in compliance.

When Huge Axe Creator gave out orders, not a single soul in the human race would dare to go against him.

******

Luo Feng caught wind of the news very quickly.

When he heard the news from his teacher, Luo Feng was understandably angry. But he also saw a glimmer of hope. He was mad because a mere 50 billion mixed elements had bought half the Earth’s ownership rights, but now, even with his disambiguation mirror stone that was worth 10,000 times more?or even a million times more. Yet he could not even use it to exchange for the ownership rights!

As for the glimmer of hope, he was looking forward to the promise Huge Axe Creator made to him!

That shows how important the Earth is, thought Luo Feng. It will not be returned to me so easily. Sitting together with them, is it? Soon. Earth… ultimately belongs to us Earthlings.

For close to 100,000 years, he had been diligently cultivating himself to become stronger and more powerful so that one fine day, he could hold up the entire sky for his fellow earthlings! He would do that because he was the greatest being of all the earthlings?the “God” that they worshipped. He would become the spiritual leader for all earthlings!

Actually, back when Luo Feng first stepped into the universe, especially when he was a horde leader of Earth, he had warded off many rounds of danger for Earth, which was the reason the earthlings worshipped him.

There were those who worshipped him simply for who he was! There were those who worshipped him immensely as a hero!

As time passed, day after day, year after year, they naturally came to worship him even more. Especially the earthlings who were roaming the universe like Luo Feng, who came to know more about the benefits he had brought them. From then up to 100,000 years later… the worshipping of Luo Feng, being handed down to many generations thereafter, had eventually led to Luo Feng becoming a symbol?and a leader of the human race on Earth!

“My power will soon be able to completely protect the human race living on Earth,” Luo Feng said to himself.

******

At the Northern Territory Alliance, in the palace of Star River Master.

“Star River Master.”

Flourishing Light Horde Leader’s two heads were bowed and full of respect.

A voice sounded amidst the darkness that shrouded the palace. “Alliance Master has resurrected you. But you were saying… The one who killed you was Luo Feng?”

“Yes,” Flourishing Light Horde Leader replied respectfully. “He killed me with one strike?with just only one strike!”

Luo Feng had left the Beast God sector to return to the primal universe, and when he arrived back at the Original Star once again… he was a mobile treasury in human form, ripe for the picking by the great beings of other races. Back then, the first one to cross paths with him had been Flourishing Light Horde Leader, and he had been killed by Luo Feng with a single strike of his sword.

“Are you sure it was Luo Feng? With only one strike?” asked the voice amidst the darkness again.

“Star River Master, I am dead sure,” said Flourishing Light Horde Leader. “This was the scene of how he killed me back then!”

Flourishing Light horde leader replied deferentially as he recalled his memories through his godly power, playing it as though it were a video clip. Luo Feng’s cold and sharp blade transformed into a dazzling golden light. With one strike, it sliced through Flourishing Light Horde Leader’s ordinary true treasure armor and sent him to kingdom come without hesitation.

Silence.

Star River Master went silent, too. He had resurrected a great number of universe knights, and had already heard of a few claiming that they had been killed by Luo Feng… That implied that Luo Feng already had the power of a universe overlord.

But Flourishing Light Horde Leader was a universe overlord! And just one strike was enough to kill him… That sort of power was only possible by a top-tier universe overlord.

“Becoming undying in just 2,000 years…” The voice in the dark space was full of shock. “Send out my orders.”

The voice resonated throughout the entire palace grounds and was heard by all the universe knights, who immediately went about carrying out his orders.

“The human, Luo Feng, possess the power of a top-tier universe overlord, and his power is comparable to that of the human, Heaven Erosion Palace Master. Send out this information to the whole universe. Everyone in the universe must know, especially powers like the bug soldiers, demons, and automaton race?all those who bear great enmity against the human race! They are bound to go through any means to eliminate Luo Feng as soon as they can. He was able to attain Heaven Erosion Palace Master’s standard in such a short time. If he has another few hundred years, then won’t the human race have another great being like Primal Chaos City Leader?”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

Every universe knight within the palace grounds received the order.

******

News started spreading out quickly from every channel of the Northern Territory Alliance. The Northern Territory Alliance was one of the biggest super powers within the universe, with the highest number of races and a massive number of universe knights. When they initiated the dissemination of news, word spread quickly.

Within one day, all nine great powers of the universe, various top-tier powers?almost everyone in the entire vast universe?had heard the news.

The news naturally reached the human race, too, and every human universe knight caught wind of it. True Yan Knight, Bound Time Knight, Sir Nine Blade, Ganwu Country Master, Heaven Erosion Palace Master, Undying Knight, Gui Yi Knight… All of them received this universe-shattering news about an unbelievably incredible life form who was powerful beyond comprehension?Luo Feng. The one who had thrown into turmoil every higher-up in all the various races in the universe.
