Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 404 Movements from all sides
In the Mysterious Realm of Ancestral Gods, in a temple above the Nine Nether Sea.

At this moment, two figures appeared one after the other in the main hall of the temple. They were Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

"Lord of All Realms!"

As the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds waved his hand and took out many fine wines and delicacies, he looked at Lu Qingshan and asked, "Why did you attack that Netherworld Demon Venerable, and even enslave his soul?"

Upon hearing the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' words, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "It's nothing more than some personal grudges!"

"Personal grudge?"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' voice became solemn: "Lord of All Realms, I warned you long ago!"

"Although the Ancestral God Sect does not forbid us peripheral members from fighting each other, we are still quite united to a certain extent!"

"When you destroyed the Green-Robed Venerable's divine kingdom and killed him, I told you that it was best for us universe lords not to directly attack those universe lords!"

"But how long has it been, and you've already attacked that Nether Demon Venerable again, even enslaving his soul!"

"That Nether Demon Venerable is a powerful figure under Feng Tian's command. How can he tolerate such disrespect from you?"

"This……"

After hearing the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' words, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but say again, "Thank you so much, Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, for helping me out of this predicament!"

To be honest, ever since Lu Qingshan became an outer member of the Ancestral God Sect and joined the Nine Nether Lord's ranks, the Nine Nether Lord has treated him very well.

Even when Lu Qingshan was still at the Universe Venerable stage, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds assigned him many suitable tasks, which earned him a lot of Glory Points.

After Lu Qingshan successfully entered the realm of the Lord of the Universe, his relationship with the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds became even closer.

The green-robed Venerable was a candidate for Divine General, an outer member of the Ancestral God Sect, and also a powerful figure under the command of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

Last time, Lu Qingshan destroyed the Green-Clad Venerable's divine kingdom, destroyed the Tree of Life within it, and finally killed the Green-Clad Venerable. Although the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was quite angry when he learned of this, he let the matter go lightly after learning that the Green-Clad Venerable had killed Lu Qingshan before.

Now, Lu Qingshan has offended the Lord of the Heavenly Flame by enslaving the Netherworld Venerable, and it is still the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds who comes to his rescue.

"Although I helped you out of that predicament, this matter is far from over!"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds waved his hand to fill Lu Qingshan's cup with fine wine, and then looked at Lu Qingshan seriously and said, "Myriad Realms, if that Nether Demon Venerable has offended you, just kill him!"

"If all else fails, we can just wait for it to be resurrected and then kill it a few more times, so that it will never be able to repay the resources spent on its resurrection in the long years to come!"

"But now you are enslaving its soul, which is undoubtedly a very bad thing! Once the powerful demons find out about this, they will probably not let it go easily!"

"I see!"

Lu Qingshan raised his wine cup and drank with the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, then quickly nodded and said, "I will handle this matter!"

"That's good!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's answer, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds nodded slightly, and then continued, "However, Wan Jie, you'd better not attack the Universe Venerables under my Ancestral God Sect in the future, otherwise the other powerful beings will definitely have objections!"

"no problem!"

Lu Qingshan immediately nodded again.

Afterwards, Lu Qingshan drank with the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds in the temple before taking his leave.

……

While Lu Qingshan and the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds were enjoying their drinks, news of his enslavement of the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan and his battle with the God Lord of the Beacon Heaven quickly spread throughout the entire Primordial Universe.

After all, Lu Qingshan's previous battle with Fengtian God Lord had already attracted a lot of attention, and the Ancestral God Sect was a gathering place for super strong people from all sides of the original universe, so the speed at which the news spread was quite astonishing.

The territory of the demon clan, the secret realm of Mengzu.

Within the demon race's virtual world that shrouds the entire Dream Ancestor's Secret Realm, there is a vast expanse of mist, and a cluster of white palaces stretches out in a continuous arc.

In the very center of the temple resides one of the greatest beings of the demon race, the Dream Demon Ancestor.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Dream Demon Ancestor's palace, nine figures were sitting on either side of a long table, with a huge silver-white serpent coiled on the main seat—it was the Dream Demon Ancestor.

"Ancestor!"

A strange serpent, its entire body covered in blood-red snake scales and intricate patterns, spoke first.

This strange serpent has a pair of eyes on its head that look like white jade, constantly emitting a snow-white light. The pupils inside are like a millstone carved with countless strange patterns, constantly rotating.

This person is none other than the second strongest member of the Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Serpent lineage, one of the sixteen royal families of the demon race, and the Lord of the Blood Chisel!
At this moment, the Lord of Blood Chisels looked at the leading Dream Demon Ancestor and said, "The Ancestral God Sect's Fengtian God Lord just sent me a message saying that the Nether Demon Venerable of the Ghost Demon Ape lineage has just been enslaved by the human race's Lord of Myriad Realms!"

"How can this be?"

"How dare the Lord of All Realms?"

"That's practically courting death!"

Upon hearing the words of the Lord of Blood Chisels, the other universe lords of the surrounding demon race all spoke up in response.

"Regardless, this has indeed happened!"

The Blood Chisel Master immediately said, "After learning about this, I contacted several friends in the Ancestral God Sect to verify it, and now the authenticity of this news has been confirmed!"

"impossible!"

"That Spectral Demon is, after all, a cosmic overlord. Even if it's not a match for the Lord of the Universe, it could still self-destruct before being attacked!"

"That's right! How long has that Lord of Myriad Realms been cultivating? How could he possibly have such achievements in soul attacks?"

The demon race's cosmic overlords still refused to believe this, after all, the Nether Demon Venerable, as a cosmic overlord, still held a very high position among the demon race.

As for the Dream Demon Ancestor sitting in the main seat, he did not speak, but simply watched silently.

"I don't want to believe it either, but it's really true!"

The Lord of Blood Chisels spoke again, saying, "I think what we need to do now is to discuss how to handle this matter!"

"Our race's cosmic overlord has been enslaved by the soul of that Lord of All Realms. If we don't handle this properly, people will think we're afraid of that Lord of All Realms and the human race!"

"Kill! You must kill him!"

The Demon Lord of the Heavenly Wolf Clan's bright blue eyes were filled with a frenzied killing intent: "That Lord of All Realms actually dared to enslave our clan's cosmic overlord, we must kill him!"

"How to kill?"

The Lord of Blood Chisels immediately spoke up, saying, "When the God Lord Fengtian sent me a message before, he said that he had already made a move against the Lord of Myriad Realms once, but even though the God Lord Fengtian tried his best, he was unable to kill the Lord of Myriad Realms!"

"Therefore, to kill that Lord of All Realms, only the two Demon Ancestors can do so!"

"But the Lord of All Realms has other avatars. Even if the two Demon Ancestors were to take action, it would be difficult to completely kill him. But if they did, it might trigger a full-scale war between our demon race and the human race!"

So what if it's total war?

Another demon race cosmic lord immediately said coldly, "Our demon race has far more powerful beings, cosmic lords, and cosmic venerables than the human race. We are not afraid even if a full-scale war breaks out!"

"What about the Zerg and the Mechs?"

Another cosmic ruler with two sharp horns on his head immediately spoke up: "Once we go to war with the human race, the Zerg and the machine race will definitely benefit. They would be more than happy if we and the human race could both be severely damaged!"

"This conflict should definitely not be escalated!"

Dream Demon Ancestor quickly spoke up, "Zhenjiao and I are currently adventuring in a dangerous place within the Cosmic Sea. If Zhenjiao and I succeed in this trip, the overall strength of our demon race will probably increase significantly. Therefore, we two haven't had much energy to deal with these matters lately!"

"However, since the Lord of All Realms has broken the rules so blatantly, our demon race naturally cannot swallow our anger!"

"How about this!"

With a wave of his hand, the Dream Demon Ancestor quickly created a phantom projection in the void, containing a great deal of information about Lu Qingshan.

"This is the information on the Lord of All Realms!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor looked at the illusory screen and then continued, "Currently, he has many disciples under his command, most of whom are King-level Immortals, but only two have stepped into the Universe Venerable realm!"

"Next, let's find a way to kill or even enslave his disciples! Anyway, it was the Lord of All Realms who broke the rules first, so this can't be blamed on our demon race!"

"Tianlang, Nianjiao, I'm leaving this matter to you two!" Tianlang Lord usually manages the demon race's intelligence department, while Nianjiao Lord is the most skilled in soul attacks among the demon race's many universe lords.

"Yes, Demon Ancestor!"

Upon hearing the instructions from the Dream Demon Ancestor, both the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf and the Lord of the Catfish nodded respectfully in response.

The Lord of Sirius even assured him, "Demon Ancestor, rest assured, I will make that Lord of Myriad Realms regret this!"

"Ok!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor nodded slightly, then looked at the Lord of Annihilation beside him: "Annihilation, the Ghost Venerable of the Ghost Demon Ape lineage is your disciple. Now that the Ghost Demon Venerable is enslaved by the human race, you must make him handle the affairs of the Ghost Demon Ape lineage. If there is anything the race needs to help with, he can ask for it!"

"Yes, Demon Ancestor!" The Lord of Annihilation immediately replied respectfully.

……

In a small universe created by the Machine God.

Here, countless shimmering threads connect planets, stars, and even the entire universe.

These crystalline threads are like a giant net, connecting different spaces within this miniature universe.

"My children!"

A majestic voice resounded throughout every space within this miniature universe: "I have heard that the human race's Lord of All Realms has just enslaved one of the Demon Ancestor's cosmic overlords and fought against the Ancestral God Sect's Fengtian God Lord. Is this true?"

"Father God, the powerful members of my Mechanical Race within the Ancestral God Cult have already relayed the message back to our race; this matter is indeed true!"

“Yes, Father God! I have a good relationship with the Dark Serpent Lord of the Ancestral God Sect. He witnessed the battle between the Lord of Myriad Realms and the God Lord of Beacon Heaven. Although the Lord of Myriad Realms was no match for the God Lord of Beacon Heaven, the God Lord of Beacon Heaven was also unable to defeat the Lord of Myriad Realms in a short period of time!”

"Father God, what should we do?"

Voices emanated from various spaces within this universe, and everyone was united in purpose!
This is the Machine Race, the incredibly united Machine Race!
"My children, you don't need to do anything!"

The voice of the Mechanical Race Father God resounded once more in the minds of the Mechanical Race powerhouses: "That Lord of Myriad Realms has only recently broken through to the level of Lord of the Universe and already possesses such strength; he is indeed very powerful!"

"But now that he has enslaved the demon race's cosmic overlord, the demon race will not let this go!"

"Just watch! For a long time to come, the Lord of All Realms and the Demon Race will definitely be fighting. We just need to watch them keep fighting until they both suffer heavy losses!"

"Yes!"

"Yes, Father God!"

The mechanical race's cosmic rulers responded one after another.

……

Inside the palace of the great Lord of Feathered Path in the virtual world constructed by the Zerg.

"Lord of Feathered Scripture!"

The Dawn Lord of the Zerg stood in the palace and respectfully greeted the figure on the throne.

"Dawn, are you saying that the human race's Lord of All Realms enslaved one of the Demon Ancestor's cosmic overlords, and even fought a great battle with the Ancestral God Sect's Fengtian God Lord?" The stunningly beautiful figure on the throne asked softly, her voice filled with boundless allure.

"Yes!"

The Zerg Queen, 'Dawn,' respectfully said, 'This is a message that was just sent back by the powerful members of my race within the Ancestral God Cult. I have confirmed the authenticity of this message through multiple channels!'

"Oh?"

After hearing the words of the Zerg Queen Dawn, the Lord of Feathered Tu's voice carried a hint of surprise: "It seems that the Lord of Myriad Realms has grown in strength very quickly! Even if I were to fight that God Lord Fengtian, I would probably have to hide in a palace-type treasure to save my life!"

"However, the fact that the Lord of All Realms enslaved the Demon Ancestor, the cosmic overlord, is actually a good thing for our insect race!"

"The demon race will definitely not let this go. Even if they don't start a major war, they will definitely fight the Lord of All Realms!"

"In that case, we Zerg will add fuel to the fire!"

At this point, the Lord of Feathered Path quickly looked down at the Zerg Queen, Dawn: "Dawn!"

"Lord of Feathered Scripture!" Queen Dawn of the Zerg quickly and respectfully replied.

"Command down!"

The Lord of Feathered Path immediately gave the order: "Order my insectoid intelligence agency, which has infiltrated the human race, to disguise themselves as demon spies and assassinate anyone connected to the Lord of Myriad Realms, whether they are his disciples, family members, or so on..."

"In short, we must act whenever we have the opportunity, and we must intensify the conflict between the Lord of All Realms and the Demon Race!"

"Yes!" Queen Dawn of the Zerg quickly and respectfully replied.

As the head of the Zerg intelligence department, she was naturally adept at this kind of task.

……

In an instant, news of Lu Qingshan enslaving the demon race's Nether Demon Venerable and fighting a great battle with the Fengtian God Lord spread throughout the universe.

Aside from the four top clans, the most attention from the powerful figures of other forces was focused on the battle between Lu Qingshan and the God Lord Fengtian.

After all, Fengtian God Lord is already considered a top-tier powerhouse below the strongest in the universe. The fact that Lu Qingshan was able to survive in his hands naturally proves Lu Qingshan's strength.

As for Lu Qingshan's enslavement of the demon race's cosmic overlord, it wasn't particularly important to other forces.

However, forces like the Northern Frontier Alliance were happy to see the human race and the demon race fight over this matter.

After all, the four top races occupy the most core territories in the entire primordial universe, which naturally makes other forces envious and even jealous.

……

the other side……

After leaving the temple of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, Lu Qingshan quickly teleported back to his own divine kingdom with the Lord of the Netherworlds, whom he had enslaved.

In the majestic temple above the avatar of the Endless Divine Sea, Lu Qingshan sat high on the throne, sipping fine wine while secretly pondering the consequences of his enslavement of the Nether Demon Venerable.

"Although my enslavement of this Nether Demon Venerable was a bit against the rules, this Nether Demon is only a cosmic overlord after all, and it shouldn't be enough to start a full-scale war between the two major races!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "However, Lawrence and the others will be in some danger in the coming period of time!"

In Lu Qingshan's view, if the demon race wanted to take revenge on him, the best way would be to attack the many powerful figures under his command.

Under Lu Qingshan's command, only Lawrence and Lu Mingrui have broken through to the Universe Venerable realm. If the demon race wants to retaliate against him, they will most likely target Lawrence, who is the strongest among them.

However, Lawrence now possesses a soul-type treasure for protection, so even if he were to encounter the cosmic lord of the demon race, he would be able to self-destruct before being controlled.

"From this perspective, it's actually Mingrui who's in more danger!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "Mingrui's current strength is not too great. If the Lord of the Universe were to attack him, he would probably be enslaved by his soul in an instant!"

"Moreover, the Myriad Realms Universe Kingdom where Mingrui is currently stationed is located on the edge of the clan's territory, so it will take some time for the clan's powerful members to go and provide support!"

"It seems that my second avatar will be stationed in the Myriad Realms Universe for a while. If any powerful demons make a move, I can also intervene to stop them!"

After a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Qingshan quickly waved his hand and released the Nether Demon Venerable, whom he had stored in his World Ring.

"Greetings, Master!" The moment the Demon Lord appeared, he bowed respectfully to Lu Qingshan.

"Ok!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then asked directly, "Youmo, what level of understanding of the laws have you reached?"

This is what Lu Qingshan is most interested in now, because in his eyes, the Nether Demon Venerable has a great chance of breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe in the future.

"Return to the master!"

Now that the Netherworld Venerable was enslaved by Lu Qingshan's soul, he naturally spoke his mind: "I have now cultivated the Fire Void Beast God Path to the seventh level, and I am very close to fully comprehending the complete Fire Void Beast God Path!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan felt quite fortunate.

After all, once this Nether Demon Venerable truly comprehends the complete Dao of the Fire Void Beast God, it will be difficult for him to enslave him!
