Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 449 Status and Power Teacher
On the long table, plates of delicacies and pots of fine wine were served.

The founder of the giant axe and many cosmic lords of the human race sat there, all looking intently in the direction of Lu Qingshan.

"I have indeed received a lot of resources this time!"

Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "Those beast god statues, although they are not quite the same as the eight innate beast gods in our original universe, still represent the complete way of the beast gods!"

"With these statues of beast gods here, the cultivation path of those geniuses and powerful individuals among our human race who cultivate the way of beast gods will definitely be much simpler in the future!"

"Therefore, I plan to place these Beast God statues directly in the primordial universe. Among my human race, any Beast God cultivator who has been selected can go and observe and comprehend them!"

"If those alien races within the Hong Alliance want to comprehend these beast god statues, they will naturally have to pay a higher price!"

"As for the treasures and abundant resources I acquired, I will naturally contribute them to the clan's treasury!"

Lu Qingshan continued, "However, my two battle clones also need some supreme treasures for protection, so I chose to use the supreme treasures that suited me best!"

"As for the remaining treasures, there are only two top-tier palace-type treasures, three top-tier domain-type treasures, as well as many other top-tier and supreme treasures, along with numerous refining materials and treasures for enhancing life gene levels, and so on!"

Of the many treasures he obtained this time, besides the complete set of supreme treasures he was currently using, Lu Qingshan only kept the peak domain-level supreme treasure 'Glacier Sea' and the peak supreme treasure longsword 'Burning Silence' used by the Fire Void Beast God Burning Void.

As for the other treasures left behind to help their families and powerful subordinates, they are not worth mentioning at all.

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the other universe lords of the human race were overjoyed, even more so than when Lu Qingshan had previously mentioned placing numerous beast god statues in the primordial universe.

After all, the purpose of the Beast God statue is simply to allow the human race to have more powerful individuals who cultivate the path of the Beast God. However, Lu Qingshan's willingness to contribute a great deal of resources to the human race's treasury can have a certain impact on their strength.

It's important to understand that the universe rulers of the human race actually possess certain resources. After all, they can exchange resources by resurrecting powerful members of their race and by contributing ordinary and high-level treasures that they don't need to the race's treasury.

However, for the human race, these masters of the universe, having resources does not necessarily mean they can exchange them for treasures that suit them.

After all, to exchange for treasures, one needs to have the corresponding treasures in the clan's treasury.

Treasures that can elevate the genetic level of life, as well as some precious treasures, are relatively scarce in the human race's treasury.

For example, both Lord of the Wilderness and Lu Qingshan wanted to exchange for a supreme treasure of the highest palace type, but there was only one such treasure in the human race's treasury.
For example, given the contributions of the Giant Axe Founder to the human race, he could probably have exchanged for a supreme treasure long ago, but the human race's treasury doesn't contain any supreme treasures for him to exchange for, and so on...

This time, Lu Qingshan contributed many treasures to the human race's treasury, which will definitely slightly enhance the strength of many universe lords within the human race.

Because of these treasures, many of them were able to convert their resources into their own strength, such as exchanging them for treasures that could enhance their life's genetic level, and so on...

That is why, upon hearing that Lu Qingshan was willing to contribute the treasure to the clan's treasury, all the universe lords of the human race smiled.

Many cosmic lords raised their glasses and went directly to Lu Qingshan, perhaps to congratulate him or to thank him for his contributions...

Amidst this lively atmosphere, Lu Qingshan also sensed the unity of the human race.

Although many powerful individuals in the human race have their own agendas and cannot be as united as the mechanical or crystal races, at least when it comes to the sake of their race, these powerful individuals in the human race share the same goal.

After the celebration, the founder of the giant axe spoke again.

"Myriad Realms!" The Giant Axe Founder looked at Lu Qingshan, and the other universe lords of the human race all fell silent.

“The founder of the Giant Axe!” Lu Qingshan quickly replied.

"You have directly contributed a large amount of resources to the community this time, which is a great contribution to our human community!"

The founder of the giant axe quickly said, "However, the strength of a race requires the contributions of the strong, and the stronger the individual, the more they need to contribute!"

"Logically speaking, you should be given hundreds of thousands of treasure points for contributing so many treasures to the clan's treasury!"

"However, as you know, the treasures in our clan are all limited. We have all contributed for countless years, and we have only contributed slightly more resources than you have contributed this time, and in some aspects, we have even contributed less!"

"Therefore, when you contribute too much, the tribe cannot give you an equivalent return!"

Upon hearing the words of the Giant Axe Founder, all the surrounding universe lords fell silent.

In fact, although they are all at the level of the Lord of the Universe, most of them have received more in return from their race than they have contributed.

After all, it was precisely because they were the strongest among the human race that they were able to exchange a large number of low-grade treasures for treasure points, which they could then use to exchange for more powerful peak treasures, and so on...

Among the human race, those who truly receive rewards exceeding their own contributions are probably only the founder of the Giant Axe, the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Penggong, and the Lord of Darkness.

Upon hearing these words from the founder of the Giant Axe, Lu Qingshan smiled.

In fact, he had understood this principle long ago.

He had always grown up under the protection of the human race, and now that he had grown up, he naturally wanted to repay the race in the same way.

Just like the founder of the giant axe, he directly and freely put the vast amount of treasures he obtained into the human race's treasury, much like a great patriarch who takes care of the race and constantly protects it.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "Founder of the Giant Axe, you're being too polite!"

"I am also a member of the human race. If it weren't for the protection and nurturing of my race and the help of many teachers, I would hardly have gotten to where I am today!"

"Now that I am powerful, it is only natural that I should give back to my clan. Consider these treasures and resources as my unconditional contribution to the clan!"

Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures of the human race smiled and looked at Lu Qingshan, their eyes filled with respect and admiration.

"That's not necessary!"

The founder of the giant axe quickly said, "I previously discussed this with Chaos. If you, Myriad Realms, are willing, you can completely break away from the Virtual Universe Company and form the sixth super power of our human race!"

"Don't worry, the other five factions will definitely give you their full support in forming a sixth faction!"

"This……"

After hearing the words of the founder of the giant axe, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

He never expected the founder of the Giant Axe would propose such a solution!
However, given the founder of the giant axe's status among the human race, it was natural that other factions within the human race would not object to his proposal.

However, after some thought, Lu Qingshan felt that he was not suitable to form the sixth major power among the human race.

After all, in this world of devouring stars, one's own strength is the most fundamental factor.

With the help of the enlightenment enhancement function in the chat group, his strength can be continuously improved. There is no need for him to improve his status among the human race by building a force.
Moreover, he was focused on cultivation, and previously the Myriad Realms Universe Kingdom and his subordinate forces were all managed by Lu Hongwen or his disciples, let alone building a new super power.

Currently, the strongest person under his command is his disciple Lawrence, who barely possesses the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord. As for Lu Mingrui, Lu Hongwen, and others, their strength is even weaker, so there is no need for them to build a super power.

Having figured this out, Lu Qingshan quickly spoke up.

"That's not necessary!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "In the future, I will need to focus on cultivation and continue to explore the universe. I simply don't have the time or energy to deal with the trivial matters between clans and forces like my Uncle Chaos. So I'll just stay in the Virtual Universe Company!"

"OK then!"

The founder of the giant axe glanced at Lu Qingshan, and then stopped trying to persuade him.

After all, even he himself usually delegated the trivial matters of the Giant Axe Arena lineage to the Lord of Void Gold, so he understood what Lu Qingshan was saying.

However, Lu Qingshan's contribution to the human race this time is indeed too great. In terms of resources and treasures alone, it is almost equal to all the resources he has contributed to the human race's treasury over the long years.

Such a great contribution naturally deserves a corresponding explanation.

Thinking of this, the founder of the giant axe quickly spoke up.

"Everyone!"

The Giant Axe Founder looked around and then solemnly said, "Lu Qingshan, the Lord of All Realms, has contributed many precious treasures and resources to our race without asking for anything in return. He has made a great contribution to our human race!"

"I propose that Lu Qingshan, the Lord of All Realms, shall enjoy numerous privileges second only to mine in the virtual universe and among the human race, including priority access to treasures in the race's treasury, control over the human race's cosmic sea map, and so on..."

"I agree with Giant Axe's proposal!"

As soon as the founder of the Giant Axe finished speaking, the Lord of the Wilderness Mirror of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance spoke first.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

The Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Darkness, and others spoke one after another.

In a short time, all the powerful members of the human race had approved the proposal of the Giant Axe Founder.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lu Qingshan was deeply moved.

It must be said that humankind is still extremely united.

As long as the strong are dedicated to contributing to the community, the community will naturally grant them the corresponding status and identity.

Following the suggestion of the Giant Axe Founder, Lu Qingshan's authority within the human race has now, to some extent, surpassed that of the Chaos City Lord.

After all, even the Lord of Chaos City cannot unilaterally decide to exchange the human race's cosmic sea map with other powerful forces.

But Lu Qingshan now possesses such authority! For example, when he makes transactions with other forces in the Cosmic Sea in the future, he can exchange the maps that the human race has explored in the Cosmic Sea without notifying other powerful members of the human race.

However, given the convenience of the virtual universe, even if he really wanted to trade maps, he would still inform the other universe lords of the human race.

"Thank you all for your trust!"

Seeing the kind gazes of the many powerful members of the human race, Lu Qingshan quickly and solemnly said, "I will never let everyone down, and I will definitely work hard for the rise of the race in the future!"

After finishing their business, Lu Qingshan and many other universe lords from the human race gathered together for a good drink for more than half a month before they dispersed.

……

In the primeval secret realm, within the temple of the Ice Peak Lord.

"I never imagined that a disciple I casually took in would grow to this level!"

After his consciousness returned to reality, the Lord of Ice Peak still had endless sighs in his heart: "Even now, Brother Chaos's status in my human race is probably a notch below that of Green Mountain!"

Thinking of this, the Lord of the Ice Peaks looked out into the distant void through the palace.

"teacher!"

A hint of reminiscence flickered in the Ice Peak Lord's eyes: "Although this disciple failed to reach the fifth level like Senior Brother Chaos and Senior Brother Darkness, and to hold up a sky for our human race, this disciple's disciple has done it!"

"Qingshan has made such an amazing contribution to our human race in such a short period of cultivation. I imagine his future achievements will be even more astonishing!"

"With the guidance of the founder of the giant axe, Brother Chaos, and Green Mountain, our human race will surely become stronger and stronger!"

"However, Qingshan has contributed many treasures to the clan's treasury this time. I have recently accumulated a sum of treasure points, so I can go and see if there are any treasures that are suitable for me!"

Just as various thoughts flashed through the mind of the Lord of Ice Peaks...

hum!
The space outside the temple rippled slightly, and then a figure clad in golden armor appeared outside the temple. It was Lu Qingshan, who had already contributed the many treasures he had previously acquired to the human race's treasury.

"Why is my disciple here?"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, the Lord of Ice Peak was somewhat puzzled, but still waved his hand and opened the temple gate.

Upon seeing the temple gates open, Lu Qingshan, who was outside the hall, quickly stepped into the hall.

"Disciple greets Master!" Lu Qingshan respectfully bowed to the Ice Peak Lord within the temple.

"Get up quickly!"

The Lord of Ice Peak waved for Lu Qingshan to stand up, and then took out various fine wines and delicacies: "Qingshan, you have just returned to your clan's territory. You should have a lot of things to take care of. How come you have time to come to your master's place?"

"Of course I'm here to mooch a drink from you, teacher!"

Lu Qingshan walked directly to the stone table and sat down, then said with a smile, "This time, your fame has spread throughout the universe. Shouldn't you treat me to a good drink, Master?"

"You guy!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of Ice Peak quickly laughed and scolded, "Weren't you drunk enough back at the Giant Axe Temple?"

"How can wine in the virtual universe compare to wine in the real world!"

Lu Qingshan chuckled again and said, "Teacher, I heard Uncle Chaos mention that after you broke through to the Universe Lord realm, you brewed the Blood Wine of Ten Thousand Demons. You probably haven't finished it yet!"

"Senior Brother Chaos really talks about everything!"

The Lord of Ice Peak smiled helplessly, then continued, "I still have some of that Myriad Demon Blood Brew left. Although the ingredients weren't particularly precious when it was brewed, after hundreds of billions of years of aging, the taste is indeed quite good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Ice Peaks waved his hand and took out a bottle of wine that exuded a murderous aura and looked like blood.

"Qingshan, you have made such a great contribution to our human race this time. Your master should indeed celebrate with you properly!"

The Lord of Ice Peak waved his hand and poured Lu Qingshan a full cup of Ten Thousand Demon Blood Wine, then said with a smile, "You can take the rest with you and drink it slowly later. There will be more here for me when you finish it!"

"Hahaha!"

Looking at the wine in his glass, Lu Qingshan quickly raised his glass and said, "Then this disciple thanks you for your fine wine, Master!"

"Hahaha! Qingshan, you have made such a great contribution to the tribe, what is a bottle of fine wine?"

The Lord of Ice Peak laughed heartily, then raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp: "However, Senior Brother Dark also has a kind of 'Fire Date Juice,' which he never shows to anyone. If you have the ability, Green Mountain, you might as well try to get a bottle. I think Senior Brother Dark won't refuse, and then I can also benefit from your kindness and have a drink!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the Ice Peak Lord's words, Lu Qingshan immediately became interested: "Then this disciple will indeed go to Uncle Darkness's place to ask for a cup of wine! However, this disciple has also come to see the master for another matter!"

"Hahaha!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks immediately laughed and said, "I wonder what important matter the renowned Lord of Myriad Realms has come to my door?"

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, then waved his hand...

Suddenly, a disc-shaped crystal, radiating astonishing pressure and completely transparent, appeared in mid-air. It was none other than the Glacier Sea, a supreme treasure of the peak domain type left behind by Lu Qingshan!
He obtained a total of six top-tier domain-level treasures from the treasures left behind by the Fire Sky Beast God, but he only contributed three of them to the clan's treasury.

The other two items are the Myriad Realms Unification Diagram used by his main body and his second clone, and the Illusionary Realm Tracing Disc. In addition, there is this 'Glacier Sea'.

In fact, Lu Qingshan originally wanted to prepare a supreme treasure of the highest palace type for the Lord of Ice Peak, but the Lord of Ice Peak already had the Ice Mountain Palace.

As for the second avatar of the Ice Peak Lord, it wasn't that Lu Qingshan was unwilling to prepare one, but rather that even if he did, the Ice Peak Lord would definitely not accept it.

After all, even the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Penggong could only allow their main battle avatars to carry supreme treasures such as peak domains and palaces, let alone the Lord of Ice Peak.

For someone like Lu Qingshan to equip both his main body and his second clone with a full set of super treasures is undoubtedly a huge waste of resources within the human race.

But since Lu Qingshan obtained all these resources himself, he can equip himself however he wants!
"Qingshan, what's wrong with you...?"

The Lord of Ice Peak quickly stood up and looked at the treasure in Lu Qingshan's hand with great surprise.

"This disciple remembers that the main battle clone of Master was using a top-tier domain-type treasure!"

Lu Qingshan quickly and respectfully said, "This disciple has obtained so many resources this time, and this Glacier Sea is my way of showing my respect to you, Master. I hope you will not refuse!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of Ice Peak fell silent.

He was naturally very clear about the value of a top-tier treasure.

In fact, even with the strength of the Ice Peak Lord, it would take an extremely long time to accumulate enough wealth to exchange for a top-tier domain treasure.

Moreover, even if he accumulates enough treasure points, the human race's treasury must have corresponding treasures for him to exchange!

And now, Lu Qingshan has so easily delivered a precious treasure that countless powerful figures would fight to the death for.

"Qingshan!"

After a moment of silence, the Lord of Ice Peak spoke again: "I have accepted your offer!"

"However, I still have some resources on hand. If needed, you can exchange them in the clan's treasury yourself. You should keep this Glacier Sea for yourself!"

"Teacher, that's not right!"

Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "When you bestowed many treasures upon me, I never refused them!"

"I am merely offering you a gift, Master. Are you going to refuse it all?"

"Moreover, a top-tier domain-level treasure is nothing to me now. If you don't accept it, and the other universe lords of our clan find out, they might think I don't respect my teacher!"

"You guy!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Lord of Ice Peak was speechless.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan left the glacier sea behind, put away the half-finished bottle of Ten Thousand Demon Blood Brew, bowed and said, "Teacher, this disciple has some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingshan stepped out and disappeared before the Lord of Ice Peak.

The Ice Peak Lord was stunned as he watched Lu Qingshan's figure disappear.

Having cultivated for countless years, how could he not know that it was Lu Qingshan's excuse?

"My disciple..."

At this moment, the Lord of Ice Peaks undoubtedly felt both helpless and happy.

After a sigh, the Lord of the Ice Peaks quickly sent a wisp of divine power into the interior of the glacial sea.

After the recognition process was completed, the Lord of the Ice Peaks quickly learned about the glacial sea: "It seems to suit me quite well; it must have been carefully selected by Green Mountain!"

"Hmm! I remember that Senior Brother Darkness mentioned that his disciple, Lord Youhou, gave him a bottle of wine that had been brewed for billions of epochs. I need to go find Senior Brother Darkness for a drink, and while I'm at it, I'll mention that this guy Green Mountain took the wine from me (and gave me a supreme treasure of the peak domain level)!"
