Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 229 The Theory of Earth, The Giant Axe with Transmitting Sound

In the dark void, starlight twinkles.

The Chaos City Lord who went to negotiate with Luo Feng soon returned, and the long stone table was once again filled with Universe Lords.

"Chaos, what was the outcome?"

"Does Luo Feng agree? With your teacher, Chaos, personally intervening, he shouldn't refuse, right?"

“How could he dare to refuse? Besides, with his limited abilities, wouldn’t it be a waste to use the Mirror Stone? Chaos, if you can’t reason with him, I’ll go find this little guy!”

Each of the lords of the universe inquired with concern.

"chaos."

From the main seat, the Giant Axe Founder spoke calmly, immediately silencing all the universe lords, "Chaos, tell them what happened."

"Luo Feng agrees to hand over the Qijing Stone."

The Lord of Chaos looked around at the other lords of the universe. "However, he made a condition."

"Haha, good, I'm glad you agree!"

"No matter the conditions, the tribe will not let him suffer a loss."

"What conditions?"

Some of the universe lords spoke up, while others watched silently. If things were really that simple, they wouldn't have needed to be summoned a second time.

Qi Yuan sat calmly in his seat, already guessing what the Chaos City Lord was about to say.

His conditions were very simple.

The Lord of Chaos City continued, "He wants to reclaim ownership of the other half of Earth. Earth is his home! He is willing to hand over the Qijing Stone on the condition that he reclaims ownership of the entire Earth."

"What about the descendants of various races on Earth?" a cold voice rang out.

“They will all be relocated, leaving only the Earthlings,” said the Lord of Chaos City.

Upon hearing this, the lords of the universe immediately became restless.

"no!"

"Absolutely not."

"This is impossible."

One after another, the Lords of the Universe spoke, their tone tinged with anger.

Today, more than 100,000 years have passed since Earth was discovered and extraterrestrials migrated to it.

Over a period of 100,000 years, as generations of alien descendants were born on Earth and then rapidly rose to prominence through the nurturing of their respective races, geniuses with exceptional comprehension and temperament emerged one after another. The probability of such geniuses appearing was so high that even these cosmic lords were amazed!
This is why these cosmic rulers have become increasingly concerned about Earth!
In just 100,000 years, a large number of geniuses and strong individuals have emerged. If time continues, Earth alone could create a powerful branch of the human race, a branch no less powerful than the Yan God Clan of yesteryear!

Even compared to the Yan God Clan, the Earth lineage has even stronger potential!

"The Earth cannot be handed over."

"That's a special planet crafted by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, its value is immeasurable! It's no less than a supreme treasure of the peak realm! This won't do."

"The Mirror Stone is just one of the 36 tokens; it can't exchange for the Earth."

"Have him change his terms."

The lords of the universe spoke one after another.

Seeing that the other universe lords disagreed, the Chaos City Lord frowned slightly and tried to speak up for his disciple:

"Everyone, back then, it was my Virtual Universe Company that stepped in and bought the ownership of Earth's oceans for only 500 billion Chaos Units. Moreover, the 500 billion Chaos Units were not paid in one lump sum, but in three installments. Now, we are exchanging them for Qijing Stones... I think that's about right."

"chaos!"

"chaos!"

The Lord of the Desolate Mirror and the Lord of the Azure East, sitting opposite Qi Yuan, spoke at the same time. The two exchanged a glance, but in the end, it was the Lord of the Desolate Mirror, who had three sharp horns and was covered in scales, who spoke first:

"Back then, Luo Feng was just a minor Domain Lord, and 500 billion Chaos Units were an astronomical price for him! Moreover, although the Virtual Universe Company stepped in to sign a contract with Luo Feng, my Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and other parties also had an agreement with you! The ownership of Earth's oceans and the upper atmosphere of the oceans is shared by the five parties, and all five parties can send their descendants to live on Earth!"

"After these 100,000 years, you also know how special Earth is. The incredible Mountain Dweller was able to create such a planet, and the children born there have such much greater potential for development."

The Lord of the Desolate Realm said in a low voice, "The Earth continuously produces powerful beings. It is fully capable of creating a major branch of the human race, with a value no less than that of a supreme treasure of the peak realm. I absolutely do not agree to exchange it easily!"

"I don't agree either."

"disagree."

The leaders of the Universe First Bank and the Universe Galaxy Bank, these two major forces, also spoke at the same time, which made the Chaos City Lord frown slightly.

"What should we do with the Mirror Stone?" The voice of the Giant Axe Founder on the main seat was powerful. "If you are unwilling to return Earth, Luo Feng will not hand over the Mirror Stone."

"What our human race lacks is supreme treasures! As for peak domain-level treasures... at this level, our human race still has several."

The Lord of the Desolate Mirror said directly, "Moreover, the Mirror Stone only represents one chance to obtain a treasure of that level. Haven't we encountered many such opportunities? Like the Cosmic Sea... if we dare to risk our lives, we could obtain a top-tier domain-level treasure at any time." "Obtaining a top-tier domain-level treasure is a one in thirty-six chance! Just thinking about exchanging Earth for it is impossible."

"Correct."

"I agree with what Huang Jian said."

The three leaders of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the Cosmic First Bank, and the Cosmic Galaxy Bank all shared their opinions.

Of the five major human factions present, only the Lord of Chaos City expressed support for Luo Feng's demands, and the founder of the Giant Axe had not yet made a statement. The other three factions clearly expressed their opposition.

In their view, the ownership of Earth, which can continuously create geniuses, is far more precious than a supreme treasure of the highest realm. Moreover, the Qijing Stone only represents the opportunity to obtain such a treasure, and there is no guarantee that they will actually obtain it in the end.

Those in power remained steadfast in their stance, and even after the Chaos City Lord announced that Luo Feng possessed the strength of a 'top-tier cosmic overlord,' it still failed to change their attitude.

"Even if Luo Feng is a top-tier cosmic overlord, let him try to break into the Temple of the Divine Realm and suffer some losses. As for exchanging it for Earth... the Mirror Stones are far from enough."

"Trading the Mirror Stone for ownership of the Earth is not an option."

……

Seeing this, the Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Those who could become such great beings as rulers of the universe all had very different temperaments. Some were cold and aloof, others unruly, and still others kind on the surface but ruthless at heart!

If they don't cross the line, the human race will naturally tolerate these super beings. Super beings have their privileges; as long as they don't cross the line, they can be tolerated!

Among all the lords of the universe, the Lord of Chaos City is generally in charge of the overall situation of humanity and is the one who values ​​the overall situation the most.

In his opinion.

Although Earth is important, whether geniuses are nurtured by other forces or by Earth itself, they are all part of the human race.

The human race remains strong overall, and they can also gain Luo Feng's gratitude and loyalty!
Moreover, with such a vast territory, even if the Earth lineage could rival the Flame God Clan, it would only represent a tiny fraction of the overall strength of the human race. It would not have any significant impact on the races or descendants of those universe masters.

“When their own interests are involved, they all become reluctant to give in,” the Chaos City Lord sighed inwardly.

……

Qi Yuan, seated in his seat, observed all of this with a cold eye.

He was quite interested in Earth.

However, what interests him is not the right to reside on Earth, but the secrets of Earth itself.

The reason why Earth is so special is that countless years ago, it was transformed by the most mysterious and ancient strongest being in the universe, the "Mountain-Sitting Guest," which can change the souls of babies born on Earth, giving them extremely strong talents in terms of temperament and will.

One's temperament may seem ordinary and unimportant when one first begins cultivation, but it becomes increasingly important as one progresses through the stages of cultivation: universe level, domain lord, world lord, and so on!
A strong mindset increases the chances of producing a top genius!
If he could figure out the method that Zuo Shan Ke used to transform Earth, replicate Lei Yuan Star, or even create a super planet specifically to cultivate talent, then he would have a continuous stream of outstanding disciples to choose from in the future.

If he had enough power, he would love to extend this method directly to the entire territory of the human race.

After all, the human race can now be considered his base. The more outstanding geniuses the human race produces, the higher the probability that he will receive excellent disciples.

His cultivation goals are extremely high. Only with a sufficiently large pool of geniuses can there be an opportunity to produce peerless prodigies who can keep up with him and be of help to him in the future.

"That old fellow, the Mountain-Sitting Guest, is the reincarnation of the God-King of Jin. He must possess a great deal of precious inheritance. It would be great if we could get more good stuff from him."

Qi Yuan sighed inwardly, but looked at the founder of the giant axe in the main seat.

"Founders of the Giant Axe, esteemed gentlemen..."

As soon as he spoke, all the other universe lords fell silent, even the Giant Axe Founder looked over.

Qi Yuan, meeting everyone's gaze, continued, "You all only see the immediate benefits, why don't you think more about this? Even if Earth's unique characteristics can lead to a powerful branch comparable to the Yan God Clan, so what? How many kings and venerables does the Yan God Clan have? Besides the Yan Emperor, are there any other universe masters?"

"And Luo Feng."

His gaze swept across the faces of the universe lords. "Luo Feng already possesses the combat power of a top-tier universe overlord, and he has only cultivated for 100,000 years. At his rate of progress, becoming a universe lord in the future is a certainty! If we don't handle this well and make Luo Feng unhappy, creating a rift with the human race, then the loss will not be something that can be made up for by cultivating more king-level immortals or a few universe venerables."

"This"

Upon hearing his words, the lords of the universe fell silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons of his statement.

"The transaction for the right to reside on Earth has already been completed. Now Luo Feng wants to redeem it, but he can't come up with an equivalent bargaining chip. We don't agree to the exchange, so there's nothing wrong with that, is there?"

The Lord of the Desolate Mirror, with his triangular hair, spoke in a low voice.

"Chips?"

Qi Yuan smiled faintly, "Have you all overlooked the fact that Luo Feng's biggest asset is himself? Who can guarantee that among the humans born on Earth in the future, there will definitely be another genius who can rival Luo Feng?"

"Both Giant Axe and Chaos should know about my background, and I empathize with Luo Feng's thoughts. Therefore, I firmly support his idea of ​​taking back Earth, regardless of whether Luo Feng's offer is insufficient."

He looked at the founder of the giant axe and quietly sent him a message.

"What! Are you sure?"

Upon hearing this, the founder of the giant axe's eyes trembled uncontrollably!
