Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 284 The Cruel Universe

"Six months from now, our human race will march into the Black Pepper Secret Realm!"

The Supreme Conference quickly came to an end amidst the mighty voice of the Chaos City Lord, which was as vast as the ocean.

Rumble…

The gates of the Pantheon opened rapidly, and almost all the cosmic rulers stood up.

"The Supreme Conference ended so quickly?"

Seeing that the Supreme Meeting ended so quickly, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

Meanwhile, the many cosmic venerables around them had already begun chatting and laughing as they walked toward the golden gate of the Pantheon, taking a single step through and then disappearing from sight.

"What are you thinking about, myriad realms?" Venerable Liufeng asked with a smile.

"I just think this top-level meeting was pretty fast!" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hahaha!"

Venerable Liufeng quickly said, "When I first attended the Supreme Conference, I was also surprised by how quickly it was convened, but I soon understood why!"

"Major events like opening up extraterritorial battlefields, which involve our human race, usually happen only once in a very long time!"

"For such important matters, the many universe lords of our human race often discuss them in advance, without needing our consultation. They simply inform us, the universe venerables,!"

"Only matters requiring a joint vote from the cosmic lords will take a little longer, but the time required won't be too long! After all, the cosmic lords are high above us and certainly don't have time to waste or explain too much to us!"

Hearing what Venerable Liu Feng said, Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

This top-level meeting was indeed very efficient.

The Lord of Chaos City didn't say much, only mentioning the fall of the Black Pepper Clan's Black Pepper Lord, and then the four top clans decided to open up the Black Pepper Secret Realm as the eleventh extraterritorial battlefield.

Then, a virtual screen appeared in front of each Cosmic Venerable, displaying a great deal of detailed information about the operation, including the assignment of powerful squads.

"Myriad Realms, let's go too!"

Venerable Liufeng quickly continued, "I just checked the information about the various teams. We've been assigned to the same team, led by Venerable Yaoguang, Venerable Zifeng, and others. We'll need to go over and discuss things after we leave!"

“Alright!” Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, and then stepped into the golden-glowing Pantheon gate with Venerable Liufeng.

……

the other side.

After the Supreme Council concluded, the various cosmic venerables of the human race dispersed, while the founder of the giant axe and the cosmic lords remained.

"Peng Gong, Bingfeng, Xujin, Qingdong, Huangjian!"

The founder of the giant axe quickly looked at Peng Gongzhi and the others who were in charge of leading the team, and then said, "This operation to open up the extraterritorial battlefield is a joint operation of our four peak races, so it should be relatively easy. However, you must not be careless!"

"Don't worry, Giant Axe!"

"We're absolutely certain there won't be any mistakes!"

Master Peng Gong, Master Huang Jian, and others nodded in agreement.

"besides……"

The Giant Axe Founder quickly looked at the Chaos City Lord beside him, and then continued, "This time, when our four top races swept through the Black Pepper Secret Realm, there will definitely be some who slipped through the net. Among them, there will inevitably be some who want to take crazy revenge on our human race!"

"Therefore, for the next period of time, we must arrange suitable people to guard some important places within our human territory. If any alien race infiltrates our human territory and makes a move, we must immediately send out strong people to suppress them!"

"Chaos, I'll have to trouble you to arrange this matter!"

The Giant Axe Founder continued, "I remember when we opened the tenth battlefield outside the domain, one of the Skeleton Clan's Cosmic Venerables managed to escape and then went on a rampage of slaughtering ordinary life in our human territory. It's best if something like that doesn't happen again this time!"

"Just leave it to me!"

The Chaos City Lord quickly nodded and said, "I have already sent emails to the rulers of the various universe kingdoms. None of them will participate in this operation. Those who are venturing into the secret realm will return directly to their respective universe kingdoms to take charge!"

"With virtual universes to transmit messages, once those alien powerhouses go to our human territory and wreak havoc, these universe rulers will quickly receive the news and rush to deal with it!"

"In addition, I have also arranged for Zu Shu, Qing Luan, and Xing Yu as temporary support forces, so there shouldn't be any problems!"

In fact, as long as the human race guards some key locations well, even if those powerful alien races go to the human race's territory to kill indiscriminately, the impact on the human race will be negligible, or even non-existent.

After all, even if all the humans within the entire territory of a universe kingdom were to die out, it would only take some of the humans living in the divine kingdom to be relocated, and they would soon be able to spread throughout the entire universe kingdom again.

Of course, if possible, the strong among the human race would naturally not want their own kind to be slaughtered by those alien races.

"Our human territory is too vast, and our ordinary people are countless!"

Lord Huangjian of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance quickly said, "It's unrealistic for us to completely protect all ordinary humans within our territory! However, opening up new extraterritorial battlefields is a major undertaking, and we humans can also gain some treasures and opportunities from it. Even if we have to pay a small price for it, it's worth it!"

"Actually, it's not so bad!"

The ancient Dragon Lord quickly said, "Even if some of those alien races escaped, they would probably lead their people to live and multiply in the divine kingdom and some remote places. Most of them wouldn't be so reckless as to run into the territories of our four top races to carry out retaliatory actions!"

"Even if there were someone who truly wanted to take revenge on our human race, they probably wouldn't have the ability! The presence of the cosmic rulers guarding the territories of the various cosmic nations is sufficient!"

"All right!"

The founder of the giant axe, seated at the head of the table, continued, "Let's leave this matter here. Everyone, go and make your preparations!"

"it is good!"

"no problem!"

The various cosmic lords of the human race nodded in agreement, and then dispersed.

After the many cosmic lords of the human race had left, the Giant Axe Founder couldn't help but look at another black throne beside him.

That was the seat of the progenitor who led the human race to rise to become the pinnacle of the race, and even the most powerful force in the universe.

Unfortunately, the progenitor's performance was too amazing. After becoming invincible in the cosmic sea, he quickly embarked on an unknown path and was ultimately suppressed forever by the original will of the primordial universe.

"I wonder when our human race will produce a new strongest being in the universe!"

The founder of the giant axe couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "If Chaos, Darkness, or Peng Gong and the others could break through, my pressure would be much less!"

The founders of the Giant Axe grew stronger from their weak beginnings, mostly by honing their skills through various battles.

However, ever since the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed by the original will of the universe, he has dared not fight against those super strong beings in the cosmic sea.

Even when venturing into the cosmic ocean, one must proceed with extreme caution.

Because the entire human race needs him to support it. If he really falls, the human race will lose the protection of the strongest being in the universe, and its status in the original universe will definitely plummet. Moreover, it will no longer be possible to possess such a vast core territory.

……

On the other side, after leaving the Pantheon with Venerable Liufeng, Lu Qingshan immediately headed to his senior brother Venerable Yaoguang's residence.

In this sweep of the Black Pepper Secret Realm, the human race dispatched a total of thirty teams at the level of Cosmic Venerables, each team consisting of five Cosmic Overlords and fifty Cosmic Venerables.

The fact that the human race has mobilized such a powerful force, at the level of Cosmic Venerables alone, is almost equivalent to nearly half of the human race's Cosmic Venerable combat power.

Of these thirty teams, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the Cosmic First Bank, and the Cosmic Galaxy Bank each sent five teams, the Giant Axe Arena sent seven teams, and the Virtual Universe Company sent eight teams. Lu Qingshan and Venerable Liufeng were assigned to the same team, and Venerable Yaoguang was one of the five cosmic overlords in this team. Lu Qingshan naturally went to discuss things with Venerable Yaoguang, and Venerable Liufeng was certainly willing to go along as well.

A moment later, Lu Qingshan and Venerable Liufeng arrived at the gate of a luxurious palace halfway up the central mountain range of Thunder Island, which was the residence of Venerable Yaoguang.

With Lu Qingshan leading the way, the two of them didn't need to announce their arrival and quickly entered Venerable Yaoguang's residence.

At this moment, more than ten Universe Venerables had gathered in the mansion, led by Venerable Yaoguang and Venerable Beiyue.

The Venerable Beiyue is the third disciple of Lord Youhou. He has not been cultivating for very long, and he is also the only cosmic overlord under Lord Youhou.

After all, Lord Youhou is the youngest among the many universe lords of the Virtual Universe Company lineage. Therefore, whether it is his own strength and wealth, the number of disciples, or the overall strength of his disciples, he is somewhat inferior to the other universe lords.

"Senior Brother Yaoguang, Venerable Beiyue..."

After Lu Qingshan and Venerable Liu Feng entered the living room, they quickly greeted the group of Universe Venerables around them with smiles.

"Junior brother! Liu Feng!"

"Myriad Realms! Liu Feng!"

The other cosmic venerables quickly responded with smiles.

"Green mountains, flowing maple leaves!"

Venerable Yaoguang smiled and said, "I was just about to send you two an email, but I didn't expect you two to come here. Please sit down!"

Hearing Venerable Yaoguang's words, Venerable Liufeng was also quite moved.

He did not become a disciple of any of the human race's cosmic lords, and his relationship with Venerable Radiant Light could only be described as acquaintance, not closeness.

If he hadn't come with Venerable Wanjie this time, Venerable Yaoguang would never have sent him a separate email.

Next, Lu Qingshan and the others sat together, enjoying fine wine and food while discussing the matter of opening up battlefields outside the region.

"Every time we open up a battlefield outside our territory, it's a bloody slaughter for those of us who participate in the operation!"

Venerable Yaoguang shook his head and sighed, "When we open up battlefields outside the domain, it is usually a joint operation between our four peak clans. The way we fight is completely different from when we usually venture into the secret realms of the universe!"

"Just this time, our human race mobilized more than a thousand beings at the level of Cosmic Venerables alone!"

"As for the other three top-tier clans..."

The demon race has the most powerful members among the four peak races, and the number of cosmic venerables they have dispatched is definitely more than that of our human race.
Although the Zerg and Mech races have fewer Cosmic Sovereigns, the Zerg's powerful warriors excel at swarm tactics, while the Mech race's powerful warriors are adept at using various terrifying mechanical weapons. Their sweeping speed is even faster than that of our human race and the demon race combined!

"In addition, the four top races will definitely send their high-ranking universe lords to ensure the smooth progress of the operation!"

Venerable Radiant exclaimed, "Such terrifying power would easily annihilate some powerful races, let alone sweep away a secret realm of the universe that is no longer protected by a master of the universe!"

Upon hearing Venerable Yaoguang's words, Venerable Beihai quickly spoke up, "Wouldn't those original inhabitants of the secret realm try to escape? If they could leave via the divine kingdom's teleportation, it should be quick!"

You're wrong to think that way!

Venerable Yaoguang quickly shook his head and said, "First of all, our four top clans' plan this time is absolutely confidential, and under normal circumstances, the news is very difficult to leak out."

"Furthermore, when our four races act together, we will definitely sweep through the important areas of that secret realm at the same time, directly annihilating the high-level leaders of those races who are at the level of Universe Venerables!"

"Moreover, our main objective this time is to open up new battlefields outside the domain. Even if the remaining weaker alien races escape through the teleportation of the divine kingdom, without the guidance of a powerful being at the level of a cosmic venerable, they can only eke out a living in the universe in the future, multiplying and reproducing in the divine kingdom and some remote mineral planets. Naturally, they will not be able to pose any threat to our human race in the future!"

"Green hills, monuments..."

Venerable Yaoguang quickly turned to Lu Qingshan and the others and said, "In the process of opening up the extraterritorial battlefield, what you need to pay the most attention to is that you cannot be soft-hearted when facing those alien races!"

"As the saying goes, 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!' The fate of those alien races may seem tragic, but if it were the weak human race, our fate might be even more tragic than theirs!"

Upon hearing Venerable Yaoguang's words, Lu Qingshan picked up his wine cup and took a small sip, after which he seemed to see a series of scenes.

A scene unfolded where numerous alien races screamed, only to be slaughtered by powerful human warriors...

There are also many scenes of migration and escape by different ethnic groups...

There are also scenes of planets within human territory, inhabited by billions of ordinary lives, being directly annihilated by powerful alien races...

There are even scenes of human territories being occupied, with large numbers of humans fleeing...

Lu Qingshan naturally felt no sympathy for the alien races in the Black Pepper Secret Realm who were about to be wiped out by the four top clans.

That's just how it is between ethnic groups.

Like alien spies lurking among humankind, once discovered by the human race, many of them simply self-destruct, destroying life-bearing planets and wiping out countless ordinary human lives.

It's important to know that the alien races lurking among the human race are not just the insectoid race, the machine race, and the demon race.

After all, the virtual universe of the human race is spread throughout the territory of the original universe, which is extremely convenient for transmitting messages. Therefore, countless alien races will plant spies among the human race.

These spies, in order to use the virtual universe, need to control, or even enslave, the lives of the human race.

Aren't the lives of those humans enslaved or even controlled by other races just as tragic?

"War! Survival!"

Venerable Radiant Light continued, "The universe is inherently cruel! Even if we show mercy to those alien races, they will not be grateful in the slightest!"

“I remember the last time we opened up the extraterritorial battlefield, the ‘Mingxin Venerable’ of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank spared a Cosmic Venerable from the ‘Cang Clan,’ who was just an ordinary race at the time, because he was too soft-hearted!”

"Later, the Cang Clan's Universe Venerable actually broke through to the Universe Lord realm by chance, and is now the Cang Clan's leader, 'Azure Lord'!"

"After breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, the Azure Lord quickly led the Azure Clan to join the Zerg camp, which caused some trouble for our human race in the long years that followed!"

"And Venerable Mingxin also changed his title to Venerable Mie Cang, as a reminder that he must not show any mercy to the alien races!"

Hearing what Venerable Yaoguang said, Lu Qingshan was not surprised at all.

The four dominant clans already harbored deep-seated hatred for each other, and there were also conflicts of interest regarding their territories.

Such alliances, like the opening of extraterritorial battlefields, or the emergence of an unparalleled genius among one race, or the joint annihilation by the other three races, are all merely temporary.

More often than not, the four dominant clans are locked in endless battles, harboring immense hatred for each other.

Not only have races that hate humans joined the other three top races, but there are also races that hate the demon race, the insect race, or the mechanical race that have joined the Hong Alliance.

In short, in the primordial universe today, no single power can subdue the others, so the billions of races can only fight and kill each other endlessly.

In this constant killing and fighting, some groups went extinct, while others began to rise.

While Lu Qingshan and the others were chatting...

Soon, more than ten figures arrived at Venerable Yaoguang's residence, led by Venerable Zifeng and the other two cosmic overlords in charge of leading the team.

After everyone greeted each other, Venerable Radiant Light quickly began contacting the other Universe Venerables who needed to join the operation.

Before long, the five cosmic overlords, including Venerable Yaoguang, and Lu Qingshan and his group of fifty cosmic venerables gathered together and quickly discussed the next steps.

After discussing the matter, everyone went back to prepare.
