Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 478 Changes at the Top of the Human Race

Those who break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe through the Path of the Beast God rarely hide their strength.

Firstly, they broke through using the path of the Beast God, which is naturally difficult to hide from the Ancestral God Sect, which is the representative of the original will of the primordial universe. The Ancestral God Sect will also respect them as the protector of the sect.
Secondly, after becoming the protector of the Ancestral God Sect, they can also receive the inheritance of other Beast God Paths, which will be of certain help to their own cultivation. Therefore, they are unwilling to hide their strength.

Of course, if these issues can be resolved properly, there is still a chance to conceal one's identity.

For example, if Lu Qingshan were willing, he could help the Lord of the Netherworld conceal his identity after the Lord of the Netherworld broke through.

After all, the other party was Lu Qingshan's soul servant, and even if he knew that hiding his identity would slow down his cultivation speed, he would still obey orders;

As for the Ancestral God Sect, Lu Qingshan could also use his status as the sect's protector to ask them for help in concealing the information.

Unfortunately, the Lord of the Netherworld broke through within the Ancestral God Sect, causing a great commotion. Many of the powerful figures from the billions of races across the universe within the Ancestral God Sect noticed the commotion and naturally could not hide it.

When the news of the Lord of the Netherworld breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe spread, the entire demon race went into a frenzy. After all, the Lord of the Netherworld should have been the Lord of the Universe of the demon race, but he was enslaved by Lu Qingshan, the Lord of the Universe, who was not following the rules, at the stage of the Universe Venerable.

If the Lord of the Netherworld were just an ordinary cosmic overlord, it would be fine, but now that he has broken through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, how can the many high-ranking members of the demon race tolerate this?
Therefore, for a long time after the Lord of the Netherworld broke through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, the struggle between the demon race and the human race was extremely fierce.

Even the Lord of Changjiu of the demon race once attacked the Lord of the Netherworld, intending to completely annihilate him. After all, a powerhouse at the level of the Lord of the Universe cannot be resurrected by reversing time and space; once he falls, he is truly gone forever.

Fortunately, the Lord of the Netherworld managed to escape with the help of the treasures bestowed upon him by Lu Qingshan. Afterwards, Lu Qingshan also took action against the Lord of the Universe of the Demon Race in anger. In the end, he reached an agreement with the Demon Race to keep the conflict below the level of the Lord of the Universe.

As for the Machine Race and the Zerg Race, they remained relatively calm during that turmoil.

After all, whether it's the human race or the demon race, the number of universe masters far exceeds theirs. The more intense the battle between the two races, the better it is for them.

After a long period of time, the turmoil caused by the Lord of the Netherworld breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe gradually subsided.

"only……"

After reading the emails sent to him by the various universe lords of the human race, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think to himself, "After this Star Prison breakthrough, the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race are probably going to get restless!"

It should be noted that in the past 30 billion epochs, among the three factions of the demon race, apart from the mechanical race which gave birth to a new universe master, neither the demon race nor the insect race has achieved a breakthrough to become a universe master.

The human race, however, first broke through to become a Lord of the Netherworld Demons, and now they have broken through to become a Lord of the Star Prison Demons.

Furthermore, given that the Star Prison Demon Lord already possessed the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord, he would definitely be able to establish himself in a very short time after breaking through to the realm of the cosmic master.

Seeing the human race growing stronger and stronger, the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race are bound to be restless.

"But it's nothing!"

After a moment's thought, Lu Qingshan quickly calmed down: "As long as the giant axe is still there, the three races will naturally not launch a full-scale war because of the birth of a few universe lords!"

"As for Xingyu, he has the ability to create clones, so even if he occasionally encounters some danger, at most he will only lose some treasures!"

"Although this will be difficult for him personally, it is not a big deal for the human race as a whole!"

……

Shortly after receiving these emails, Lu Qingshan received another email from the Lord of Chaos City, inviting him to a meeting in the virtual universe.

Virtual universe, atop Thunder Island.

Amidst the endless chaotic air currents, there stood an ancient, gray-blue round table.

Beside this rustic round table are seven enormous stone chairs, each with intricate carvings on its back, and even the central, bluish-gray rustic stone table is adorned with unique carvings.

call!
A figure clad in dark gold armor emerged from the endless chaotic energy; it was Lu Qingshan, whose consciousness was connected to the virtual universe.

"Myriad Realms!"

"Qingshan!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan appear, the other powerful figures around him also stood up to greet him.

"Teacher, Chaos Master, Dark Master, Dragon Journey..."

Lu Qingshan greeted the several universe lords around him one by one, and then sat down on his own stone chair with everyone.

Before long, Lord Youhou and Lord Xingyu Demon appeared together, bringing the total number of human universe lords present to seven.

Although the Lord of the Netherworld has also broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he is not a human powerhouse and therefore has no right to appear here, just like the mechanical Universe Lord who is the core of the virtual universe's intelligence.

"Star Prison, congratulations on breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

"Star Prison, congratulations!"

The Lord of Ice Peak and the Lord of Dragon Walk quickly offered their congratulations.

Lu Qingshan followed up by saying, "Xingyu, congratulations on breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

On the other side, the Star Prison Demon Lord remained relatively calm after hearing the congratulations from the Dragon Lord and the others, simply responding with normal words of thanks.

However, his expression changed after hearing Lu Qingshan's congratulations.

"Lord of All Realms!"

The Star Prison Demon Lord looked directly in Lu Qingshan's direction, then bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for bringing back the Beast God statue and inheritance of your clan!"

"Without the help of these beast god statues and their inheritance, I don't know when I would have been able to break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

"Star Prison, you're too kind!"

Seeing the Star Prison Demon Lord's humble posture in front of him, Lu Qingshan quickly smiled and said, "Your breakthrough this time is also inseparable from your own efforts!"

"Now, there are only two of us in our human race who have broken through to become universe masters through the path of the beast god. We can have more exchanges in the future!"

"Thank you, Lord of All Realms!" Star Prison Demon Lord quickly expressed his gratitude again.

As a cultivator of the Path of the Beast God, he now clearly understands just how terrifying Lu Qingshan's achievements in the Path of the Beast God are.

Although Lu Qingshan is talking about exchanging ideas, he is actually trying to give him pointers. How could he not appreciate it?

After exchanging congratulations, everyone took their seats.

"Star Prison, I believe you've already guessed it!"

After everyone was seated, the Chaos City Lord, who was at the head of the group, quickly got to the point: "After unanimous approval by the highest council of our human race, you are now the nineteenth Universe Lord of our human race!"

Upon hearing the Chaos City Lord's words, the Star Prison Demon Lord couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on his face.

It should be noted that he was already one of the top beings below the Universe Lords in the human race, but as far as he knew, there should only be sixteen other Universe Lords besides him in the human race.

Next, the Lord of Chaos City naturally explained to the Star Prison Demon Lord the affairs of the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of the River of Oblivion, the two hidden cosmic lords.

Although the Star Prison Demon Lord was somewhat surprised when he first learned of this news, he was quickly shocked by the strength of the human race, because one of the two hidden Universe Lords was a fifth-tier powerhouse, who was already considered the most powerful being below the strongest in the universe.

After introducing the various universe lords of the human race to the Star Prison Demon Lord, the Chaos City Lord quickly began to introduce the Star Prison Demon Lord's strength to the powerful members of the human race.

The Star Prison Demon Lord was born into an ordinary human race. When he first began cultivating, he did not become a disciple of any human race's Universe Lord. His teacher was merely a relatively ordinary Universe Venerable among the human race. Even with the Star Prison Demon Lord's help, he is now only a High-Level Universe Venerable.

However, the Star Prison Demon Lord had a fortuitous encounter. Before breaking through to become an immortal god, he possessed a special life form with an extremely high level of life genes and then conceived a second avatar. This is why he was able to possess the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord at the cosmic venerable stage.

In fact, after the Star Prison Demon Lord broke through to the level of the Universe Venerable, there were also Universe Lords in the human race who wanted to take him as their disciple.

However, the Star Prison Demon Lord cultivated the Path of the Beast God, and none of the human race had broken through to the level of a Universe Lord using the Path of the Beast God. Therefore, the Star Prison Demon Lord could only be allowed to cultivate on his own. Of course, during the Star Prison Demon Lord's cultivation process, the human race also provided a lot of assistance, such as helping him collect some inheritances of the Path of the Beast God and bestowing upon him some precious treasures, etc.

It was precisely because of the Star Prison Demon Lord's own efforts and the help of the human race that he was able to make a name for himself in the universe!

After the Lord of Chaos City finished introducing the Star Prison Demon Lord to everyone, Lord Youhou, who was quite close to the Star Prison Demon Lord, quickly said, "Star Prison has the ability to create clones, and his will is also quite strong. His ability to protect himself is quite good!"

"That's true!"

"That's right! With Star Prison's breakthrough this time, our human race has gained another great pillar!"

The Dragon Lord and others spoke up one after another.

"Star Prison!"

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, the Chaos City Lord quickly turned to the Star Prison Demon Lord and asked, "Before we go to the highest meeting of the human race, do you have any plans for your title of Lord of the Universe?"

"Let's keep calling him 'Star Prison Demon Lord'!"

After a moment's thought, the Star Prison Demon Lord said, "I have used this title for a long time, there is no need to change it!"

Upon hearing Star Prison Demon Lord's words, everyone around nodded slightly.

The title of Star Prison Demon Lord doesn't violate any taboos, so they certainly won't object.

Next, the Lord of Chaos City led Lu Qingshan and the others to pay their respects to the Primordial Ancestor, the founder of the Virtual Universe Company lineage. This was something that every Universe Lord of the Virtual Universe Company lineage had to do after breaking through to the Universe Lord realm.

Although the Star Prison Demon Lord's cultivation time was longer than Lu Qingshan's, when he first began cultivating, the Primordial Ancestor had already been suppressed by the original will of the primordial universe, so he was naturally unaware of the Primordial Ancestor's existence.

After hearing the introduction of the Primordial Ancestor by the Chaos City Lord and his disciples, the Star Prison Demon Lord naturally developed great respect for the Primordial Ancestor, the powerful figure who led the human race from a strong race to a top-tier race.

And so, at the very core of the virtual universe, after respectfully bowing to the statue of the progenitor, Lu Qingshan and his group immediately began their return journey.

After Lu Qingshan and his group returned to the summit of Thunder Island, they immediately received an email from the strongest member of the human race, the founder of the Giant Axe, which naturally asked them to attend the highest meeting of the human race.

"Star Prison, the highest council of the human race is mainly divided into two types!"

After receiving the email from the founder of the giant axe, Lord Youhou quickly turned to the Star Prison Demon Lord and introduced, "One type is the kind of large-scale supreme meeting you attended before, in which all the universe lords and universe venerables of my human race will participate!"

"But the meeting we are about to attend is one that only the strongest beings in the universe and the rulers of the universe can participate in. Because this meeting was convened by the founder of the Giant Axe, it is also known as the 'Giant Axe Meeting'!"

"All right!"

The Chaos City Lord, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up: "Since Giant Axe has sent an email, let's head over there as soon as possible!"

"Star Prison, your privileges in the virtual universe have now been upgraded. All you need to do now is teleport with us to the Giant Axe Temple!"

“I understand!” Star Prison Demon Lord nodded quickly.

Subsequently, the seven Universe Lords of the Virtual Universe Company immediately disappeared from the summit of Thunder Island and rushed to the Giant Axe Temple.

……

A special dimension within the virtual universe.

In the endless darkness, faint starlight shone in the distance, and in the middle of this starlight, there floated an extremely simple and ancient temple.

In the open space inside the temple, there was a huge stone table with a row of chairs on both sides. At the very front, in the main seat, there was only a stone chair carved with a giant axe pattern.

Several imposing figures were already seated on the stone chairs on either side of the stone table. They were all top-tier super beings in the human race, and they were having a pleasant conversation.

"Hahaha!"

The Lord of Desolate Mirror of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance looked at the Lord of Void Gold not far away, and then said with a smile: "Void Gold, last time the myriad realms broke through, the Lord of the Universe of the Virtual Universe Company had one more Lord of the Universe than your Giant Axe lineage. I didn't expect that Star Prison has broken through again. Now your Giant Axe lineage is quite far behind!"

"Yes!"

The Qingdong leader of the Universe First Bank laughed and said, "This doesn't even include the Demon Lord of the Netherworld who broke through before. If we include him, the Virtual Universe Company lineage will have three more Universe Lords than your Giant Axe lineage!"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing the teasing from Lord of Desolate Mirror and Lord of Azure East, Lord of Void Gold quickly smiled and said, "As long as a strong member of my human race breaks through, it doesn't matter which faction they belong to!"

"However, the Lord of the Netherworld is a demon race. Although he has been enslaved by the myriad realms, he cannot be counted. Otherwise, should we count the 'Lord of Souls' who controls the virtual universe?"

"Hahaha! In any case, our human race is becoming stronger and stronger!"

"Yes! If things continue to develop like this, perhaps our human race will be able to dominate the primordial universe like the Divine Eye Clan of the first reincarnation era!"

"Who can argue with that? In the recent period, among the other three top races, only the Mechanical Race has produced a Universe Lord, while our Human Race has produced three in succession: Qingluan, Wanjie, and Xingyu. Moreover, there is also the Netherworld Lord who was enslaved by Wanjie. It's truly unbelievable!"

"Yes! The speed at which universe masters are being born is almost catching up with the time when the Primordial Ancestor led our human race to rise to power!"

For a moment, the human race's cosmic lords, sitting on either side of the stone table, chatted and laughed with each other.

at this time……

Wow! Wow! Wow!
Seven figures appeared almost simultaneously; they were the seven universe lords of the Virtual Universe Company, led by the Lord of Chaos City.

"chaos!"

"Myriad Realms!"

"Myriad Realms, you've arrived too!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan and his group appear, the many universe lords present greeted them.

It should be noted that Lu Qingshan's status among the human race has now subtly surpassed that of the Chaos City Lord.

Firstly, the Lord of Chaos City didn't care about these things; he had always devoted himself to handling various trivial matters within the human race.

Secondly, Lu Qingshan had previously contributed many supreme treasures to the race, and later contributed many techniques he brought back from the Desolate Era world, which greatly enhanced the strength of these universe masters of the human race.

Even because of those methods, two more cosmic lords among the human race created the strongest secret technique of the cosmic lords: the Yellow Orange Lord of the Giant Axe Arena lineage and the Yanshan Lord of the First Bank of the Universe lineage.

With the addition of the treasures and the improvement of life genes, the strength of the Yellow Orange Lord and the Yanshan Lord has now firmly entered the fourth level!
It is important to understand that for these cosmic lords, improving their own strength is undoubtedly extremely important.

They were either fortunate enough to exchange for more precious treasures because of Lu Qingshan, or because the methods he contributed created even more powerful secret techniques, so they were naturally very grateful to Lu Qingshan.

"Long Xing, I heard you previously crafted a top-tier domain-type treasure?"

"Haha! I was just lucky!"

Upon hearing the greeting from the Lord of Qingdong, the Lord of Longxing laughed and said, "If it weren't for the many precious refining materials that the myriad realms contributed to the clan's treasury before, I certainly wouldn't have had the opportunity to refine such a precious treasure!"

"Star Prison, congratulations on breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe!"

"Star Prison, welcome to be one of us!"

……

In an instant, many cosmic lords around them also warmly greeted the Star Prison Demon Lord and his companions.
