Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 289 Guarding the Extraterritorial Battlefield
In a remote region of the universe, far from human territory, lies the territory of the ordinary race, the 'Golden Horn Clan'!

Although there is another powerful race near the territory of the Golden Horn Clan, the Golden Horn Clan is a member of the 'Hong Alliance,' which is led by the humans, one of the eight major powers in the original universe and a top race. In addition, the leader of the Golden Horn Clan, Hirodo, has the strength of a cosmic overlord. Therefore, the Golden Horn Clan has not been oppressed too much by that powerful race.

Within the core region of the Golden Horn tribe's territory lies a vast landmass with a diameter of trillions of kilometers, which is the sacred land of the entire Golden Horn tribe.

Meanwhile, inside a magnificent palace at the heart of this vast landmass, nineteen figures were gathered together, exchanging ideas.

These nineteen figures represent all the cosmic venerables of the Golden Horn Clan. Each of them is a pillar of the Golden Horn Clan, and the leader among them is naturally the only cosmic overlord of the Golden Horn Clan, 'Hirodo'.

"Elders!"

Hirodo looked around and then said, "As you all probably know, the leader of the Black Pepper Clan, the Black Pepper Lord, has fallen. The four top clans have now turned the Black Pepper Secret Realm, where the Black Pepper Clan is located, into the eleventh extraterritorial battlefield!"

Herodo was quite moved when he said this.

It's important to know that when he wanted to lead the Golden Horn Clan to join a faction, he actually had two options.

One option is to join a super power like the Hongmeng; the other is to join a top power like the Jiuyu Alliance.

As one of the eight super powers in the original universe, the Hong Alliance has a large number of powerful members, including many universe lords and even more universe overlords. The Hirodo and Golden Horn Clan are simply insignificant among them.

Once he joins a super power like the Hongmeng, it will be difficult for him and the Golden Horn Clan to have a high status within it, and they might even be used as cannon fodder at any time.

But top-tier forces like the Nine Domains Alliance are different!

Firstly, these top-tier forces are established by several or even a dozen powerful clans, making it difficult for any single clan to dominate. Although the Golden Horn Clan is just an ordinary clan, joining it can still grant one a certain status.

Secondly, the two powerful clans near the Golden Horn Clan's territory are both members of the Nine Domains Alliance. If Hirodo leads the Golden Horn Clan to join the Nine Domains Alliance, the territorial disputes between the Golden Horn Clan and the surrounding forces will be greatly alleviated!

However, after much deliberation, Herodo decided to lead the Golden Horn tribe to join the more powerful Hong Alliance!

After all, only the most powerful forces possess the strongest beings in the universe, and only the strongest beings in the universe can resurrect a cosmic overlord like him!

This wasn't because Herodo was selfish and only thought of himself; rather, it was because the Golden Horn tribe was entirely supported by him alone.

If he were to truly perish, the Golden Horn Clan's standing in the universe would plummet, perhaps even more tragically than the current plight of the Black Pepper Clan.

In retrospect, his choice back then was wise!
Just like the Black Pepper Clan, which was wiped out by the combined forces of the four top clans!

If the Black Pepper Clan joins another super power, then even if the Black Pepper Lord dies unexpectedly, the Black Pepper Clan should still be able to receive some protection, at least having the opportunity to lead the clan out of the Black Pepper Secret Realm.
However, the Black Pepper Clan joined the top-tier Liulan Alliance. Although the Liulan Alliance was quite powerful, the four top clans didn't care at all. And once they really opened up the extraterritorial battlefield, the strong in the Liulan Alliance wouldn't dare to stop them!

"I never imagined that the Black Pepper Clan, with its formidable power, would be wiped out so easily!"

A Cosmic Venerable from the Golden Horn Clan couldn't help but sigh, "Not long ago, I encountered a Cosmic Venerable from the Black Pepper Clan in the Cosmic Secret Realm. At that time, the other party was extremely powerful, but I never expected that he would fall directly at the hands of those Cosmic Venerables from the four peak clans!"

"Yes!"

Another Cosmic Venerable sighed, "The Black Pepper Clan was far more powerful than the Azure Light Clan near my Golden Horn Clan's territory. They had over a hundred Cosmic Venerables alone, and yet they're all gone!"

"What is the Azure Light Clan? I heard that when the human race opened up the Black Pepper Secret Realm this time, even a small team was led by five cosmic overlords, along with fifty cosmic venerables!"

"I've heard about this from my human friends! They're incredibly powerful; even a small squad could easily wipe out our Golden Horn Clan!"

"Fortunately, our Golden Horn Clan joined the Hong Alliance a long time ago!"

For a moment, many cosmic venerables of the Golden Horn Clan sighed in amazement.

The Azure Light Clan is also a powerful clan, but its leader, the Azure Light Lord, has only recently broken through to the next level, and the Azure Light Clan currently only has about thirty Universe Venerables.

"All right!"

Herodo waved for everyone to be quiet, then continued, "I called you all here today for the eleventh extraterritorial battlefield that the four major races have opened up!"

"This eleventh extraterrestrial battlefield has just been opened, and it must contain many opportunities, so my Golden Horn Clan absolutely cannot miss it!"

"That's true!"

Another Cosmic Venerable from the Golden Horn Clan quickly spoke up, saying, "When the four peak clans opened up the extraterrestrial battlefields, they were mostly responsible for eliminating the Cosmic Venerables among the native inhabitants of those extraterrestrial battlefields. They didn't pay much attention to the native inhabitants at the level of Immortal Gods!"

"That is why those immortal-level natives have become the hope and the spark for their respective races, and they certainly possess many resources bestowed upon them by those native cosmic venerables!"

"The Universe Venerables of the four peak races may not care too much, but for our race's King-level Immortals, and even for us Universe Venerables, this is a rare opportunity!"

"That's right!"

No sooner had the Cosmic Venerable finished speaking than Herodo quickly spoke again, saying, "The Outer Domain Battlefield can be said to be the place in the primordial universe where the most Cosmic Venerables have been born! Over countless years, countless Cosmic Venerables have been born on the Outer Domain Battlefield, and even Clements broke through on that Outer Domain Battlefield!"

"The eleventh extraterrestrial battlefield has just been opened, and the powerful beings from billions of races across the universe will definitely go there to train. This is also an opportunity for the immortal gods of my Golden Horn Clan!"

"If any of the King-level Immortals in my Golden Horn Clan can take this opportunity to break through to the Universe Venerable Realm, then the pressure on us in the future will be much less!"

"Therefore, I propose that all the King-level Immortals of my Golden Horn Clan who are currently venturing into the outer battlefields should go to this newly opened eleventh outer battlefield for training! In addition, any Immortal Gods in the clan who are willing to go to the outer battlefields to hone themselves can go to the eleventh outer battlefield!"

"Chief, isn't this a bit too impulsive!"

After hearing what Herodo said, Clements quickly added, "The Black Pepper Secret Realm has only just been opened up, and many of the native inhabitants probably haven't been cleared out yet. If we rashly send a large number of immortal gods into it, we might suffer heavy losses!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Hirodo waved his hand and said directly, "If my Golden Horn Clan wants to rise in this vast universe, firstly, we need to establish good relations with the human race; secondly, we also need truly strong individuals, such as more Universe Venerables, or even the birth of a Universe Lord!"

"If any of the immortal gods in our clan can break through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, then even if the loss is significant, it will be worthwhile!"

"Moreover, after completing the Holy Monument, I still have some resources left. If those talented immortals really perish on the extraterrestrial battlefield, we can ask the cosmic lords of the human race to resurrect them!"

Hearing Herodo's words, the elders of the Golden Horn tribe around him had no further objections and unanimously agreed with Herodo's plan.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"I also have some contribution points within the Hong Alliance, which I can use to revive my clansmen later!"

……

Herodo was very pleased to see that many elders had approved of his plan.

In fact, as a cosmic overlord, he could have lived a much more carefree and unrestrained life if he were not burdened by his race.

But he never regretted leading the Golden Horn Clan to rise to power.

Because this is his hometown, his roots, and his people live here!
With their many elders united, they will surely be able to lead the Golden Horn Clan to become increasingly powerful in this vast universe.

After a while...

Herodo waved for the elders to be quiet, then continued, "In addition to sending many immortal gods to the extraterrestrial battlefield, we must also respond to the call of the human race and send some cosmic troops into the extraterrestrial battlefield!" "I propose that our Golden Horn race send 10,000 ordinary immortals, 500,000 world lords, 5 million domain lords, and 500 million cosmic-level beings into the extraterrestrial battlefield this time!"

"As for the allocation of personnel, it will be done on a tribal basis. The tribe with the most people will be given priority in allocating resources to their tribe for the next period of time!"

"Yes, leader!"

"Don't worry, Chief!"

"We will take care of all of these things!"

The elders of the Golden Horn Clan nodded in agreement.

For these elders of the Golden Horned Clan, what they valued most were the immortal gods of the Golden Horned Clan.

After all, immortal gods possess eternal lifespans, which is the foundation of a race.

As for the ordinary members of the clan with short lifespans, if they cannot become strong, they are of no use to the survival of the entire Golden Horn Clan.

While this may sound harsh, the Golden Horn tribe is not as powerful as human tribes, and therefore cannot provide ordinary tribespeople with the same level of security and stability.

Even if they don't go to the extraterrestrial battlefield, most Golden Horn tribesmen will leave the tribe to venture out after reaching the cosmic level.

These cosmic-level Golden Horned Clan members either need to wander outside for a thousand years or reach the level of a Domain Lord before they can return to their tribe.

……

The Eleventh Battlefield Outside the Domain (formerly the Black Pepper Secret Realm), inside the No. 003 Barracks Base.

In the core control room of this military base, Lu Qingshan was watching as armies from various cosmic nations of the human race, cosmic armies from other races within Hongmeng City, and even squads of powerful individuals left the military base and headed to various battle zones within the sphere of influence of Military Base 003.

In fact, the four top clans opened up the Black Pepper Secret Realm at a very fast pace.

In almost a single day, the four top clans wiped out all the cosmic venerable beings among the natives living in the Black Pepper Secret Realm.

The Black Pepper Clan does have a few escaped members at the level of Cosmic Venerables. The most powerful among them is Dark Wind Venerable, who possesses the strength of a Cosmic Overlord. In addition, there are several other Cosmic Venerables.

However, the area originally under the responsibility of the Darkwind Venerable was cleared by the Zerg, and it did not have much to do with the human race.

Of course, the decision to open up the Black Pepper Secret Realm into a new extraterritorial battlefield was a joint decision of the four top races, and the survivors of the Black Pepper race naturally harbored the same hatred for the human race.

However, none of the four top clans would care.

After all, the four top races have come a long way to occupy the most core territories in the universe, which has naturally been accompanied by endless killing and bloodshed.

Aside from each other, they didn't even look down on the Prison Clan and Crystal Clan, who were also top-tier clans, let alone other powerful or weak clans.

For the four top races, even being targeted by several universe lords is nothing more than a minor ailment, let alone a small universe overlord like Venerable Dark Wind.

Moreover, Venerable Dark Wind likely controls a large amount of wealth from the Black Pepper Clan. If a new Universe Lord doesn't emerge from the Black Pepper Clan in the future, it's questionable whether he would dare to show himself in the universe!
After annihilating the Cosmic Venerable among the natives of the Black Pepper Secret Realm, the four top races quickly established numerous military bases on the extraterrestrial battlefield.

The military bases established by the four dominant races will definitely differ in appearance and some functions!
Among them, the demon race's military base is the largest, the mechanical race's military base is the most sophisticated, and so on...

Although these military bases differ in some ways, they are almost identical in terms of power, all capable of withstanding attacks from cosmic overlords for a short period of time.

After the military base was established, the cosmic venerables of the four peak races spent more than a month sweeping through some areas of the Black Pepper Secret Realm to find shuttle points that could allow spaceships to enter the dark universe.

Of course, some cosmic venerables casually killed some native kings who carried a lot of resources during this period, but the gains they received were not much.

Immediately afterwards, the four top races began to dispatch numerous cosmic armies into this eleventh extraterrestrial battlefield, while many elite squads also arrived.

After all, any battlefield outside the realm is full of endless crises and killings, but this Black Pepper Secret Realm has just been opened up, and the opportunities it contains may be even greater, which naturally attracts countless powerful figures among the Kings and Immortals to come here.

By this time, apart from having more remaining native inhabitants, this eleventh extraterrestrial battlefield was no different from other extraterrestrial battlefields.

The Radiant Venerable, who was in charge of guarding the eleventh extraterrestrial battlefield, quickly applied to the human race to leave Lu Qingshan and the Flowing Maple Venerable behind to guard the extraterrestrial battlefield.

However, the Cosmic Venerables responsible for guarding the extraterrestrial battlefield are usually quite free. Their most important task is to stop or even eliminate any Cosmic Venerable-level powerhouses who enter the extraterrestrial battlefield.

In addition, once a fellow faction's Immortal King breaks through to the level of Universe Venerable on the extraterritorial battlefield, you should guide them away as soon as possible!

"Opening up a battlefield outside the domain is a big deal for an ordinary universe venerable!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "But for the entire human race, it's not a big deal!"

After the previous operation to open up the battlefield outside the territory ended, Lu Qingshan alone received thirty treasure points allocated by the clan.

Don't underestimate the value of 30 Treasure Points!
It should be noted that even for many high-level cosmic venerables, accumulating thirty treasure points of wealth would require an extremely long period of time.

If they could, the cosmic lords of the human race would probably all want to frequently open up extraterritorial battlefields and even expand their race's territory.

However, such a thing is also unrealistic!
Although the four top races are extremely powerful, if they were to join forces and continue to expand their territories, it would definitely force billions of other races in the universe to unite.

Although in a one-on-one fight, no single race could rival the four top races.

However, once those scattered clans truly unite, even the four top clans will have no choice but to retreat.

Moreover, the four top clans already have deep-seated grudges against each other. It's one thing for them to temporarily unite to open up a battlefield outside the domain, but if they were to jointly expand their clan territories, conflicts might soon arise over the distribution of territory, or even a large-scale battle might break out!

Next, Lu Qingshan's true form joined his senior brother, Venerable Yaoguang, in guarding the eleventh battlefield outside the realm.

Although his true form is unable to unleash the power of a high-level cosmic venerable due to its relatively low level of life genes and lack of protective treasures, he is still capable of achieving this level.

However, during the period of guarding the battlefield outside the territory, there will generally be no battles.

Moreover, with Venerable Yaoguang and Venerable Liufeng present, Lu Qingshan didn't need to worry about encountering any trouble.

Lu Qingshan's main combat clone naturally stayed on Zijing Island of the Ancestral God Sect to diligently cultivate the Path of the Beast God.

After all, he had already obtained a large number of Glory Points through his own planning, so there were no major obstacles in accepting the inheritance of the Beast God.

The only problem is the speed at which points are earned within the chat group.

After all, without the help of the Enlightenment Enhancement function, his efficiency in receiving the inheritance of the Beast God's Way would definitely be very low.

Not only will the gains be smaller, but you will also waste your precious Glory Points.

And so, time continued to pass.

　This might be the only chapter today. Time will be passing for a long time this time. I need to think about how to write it, and I'll post it once I've finished.
