Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 233 The Primordial Ancestor Appears
The highest point of Thunder Island in the virtual universe.

The huge, ancient, bluish-gray round table was surrounded by endless chaotic air currents.

Beside this bluish-gray stone table are seven enormous stone chairs, each with intricate carvings on its back. Even the bluish-gray stone table itself is covered with carvings depicting various scenes.

Luo Feng, who had recently made a name for himself in the battle on the Primordial Star, was sitting on one of the two huge stone chairs with his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City.

"You probably guessed it." The Lord of Chaos City smiled at Luo Feng. "The highest resolution of the human race has been unanimously passed. You are now the 20th Universe Lord of our human race."

Luo Feng couldn't suppress his joy at first.

He was immediately startled and couldn't help but ask, "The 20th?"

So, didn't the human race already have a total of 19 Universe Lords? This is an extremely high number among all the Universe Lords that Luo Feng knows of.

The Zerg and Machine races have extremely small numbers of Universe Masters; it's hard to say if they even have more than ten. The combined number of Universe Masters of the Demon race is probably at most comparable to that of humans.

"Yes." The Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly.

"The data I know, how..."

Luo Feng was slightly puzzled. His previous access level was that of a top-tier universe overlord, which allowed him to access information on many universe lords of other forces, including the human race.

According to what he found out, there should be 16 universe masters among the human race, so how come there are 19?
"Did you find a 16-digit number?"

The Lord of Chaos City laughed, “No matter which faction it is, there must be some secrets. Like the Lord of the Universe, my human race also has a Lord of the Universe who has not made his identity known. If you are not included, the entire human race has 19 Lords of the Universe.”

"Of the 19 Universe Lords, my Virtual Universe Company has 6, the Giant Axe Arena has 5, the Universe Mercenary Alliance has 3, the Universe First Bank has 3, and the Universe Galaxy Bank has 2."

Luo Feng listened attentively.

This was indeed different from what he knew before. He only knew of five virtual universe companies, including the Qiyuan Tower Master who had only risen to prominence in the last tens of thousands of years. Obviously, in addition to the five he knew, there was another universe master who had been hiding all along.

"Of course, with you included, my Virtual Universe Company will have 7 people."

The Lord of Chaos smiled and said, "You are also the first among my disciples to reach the level of the Lord of the Universe, hahaha... At least in this respect, I have won back a point against my junior brother."

"Junior brother?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher has a junior brother?"

“There are two junior brothers,” said the Chaos City Lord. “These two junior brothers I’m talking about are Universe Lords. If we include those who aren’t Universe Lords, there are quite a few.”

Luo Feng nodded.

It's not hard to understand why the Lord of Chaos City, an ancient being of the human race, would have fellow disciples.

"Let me first introduce you to the Lord of the Universe from my lineage of Virtual Universe Company."

The Lord of Chaos then spoke up, “The first one is Lord Longxing. Longxing is one of the earliest elders of my Virtual Universe Company, and he entered the realm of Universe Lords at a very young age. You have already met him on the Primal Star.”

Luo Feng nodded.

"The second one is my junior brother, the Lord of Ice Peak. He is very unapproachable, extremely cold, and extremely aloof, but he has always done very well in many important matters."

"The third one is also my junior brother, the Lord of Darkness. He rarely interferes in the affairs of our human race, rarely shows himself, and few people even know of his existence."

The Lord of Chaos City smiled.

"However, the Lord of Darkness is very famous in the Cosmic Sea. Haha, the major powers in the universe probably don't even know that the Lord of Darkness is actually from my human race when they encounter him in the Cosmic Sea."

"The fourth one is Lord Youhou. Lord Youhou is the personal disciple of my junior brother, Lord of Darkness. Before you entered the highest level, he was also the youngest universe lord in our lineage."

"As for the last one, you're no stranger to him either."

The Lord of Chaos spoke with a slightly solemn tone, "Master of the Pavilion of Extraordinary Fate, there was a super strong person of my human race who rose to prominence before you. Although he broke through to become a Lord of the Universe relatively late, his strength is now in no way inferior to that of his master!"

"Furthermore, the Master of Qiyuan Pavilion is currently the strongest weapon refiner among our human race. This time, the Primordial Star has been open for nearly 20,000 years. It is precisely because of the large number of treasures provided by the Master of Qiyuan Pavilion that the probability of our human race's cosmic venerables falling has been greatly reduced, and the gains are far greater than before."

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Luo Feng, "And last time, it was thanks to the strong support of the Lord of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion that you were able to successfully reclaim ownership of the other half of Earth. Furthermore, he contributed a supreme treasure to our race, making him a great contributor to our human race!"

"When you meet Master Qiyuan later, you must not be negligent," the Chaos City Lord reminded him softly.

"The Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion!"

Upon hearing the Chaos City Lord mention this name, Luo Feng's eyes lit up!
Since the incident with the Qijing Stone, Luo Feng naturally felt extremely grateful and fond of the Master of Qiyuan Tower who spoke up for him at the Giant Axe Conference.

As his privileges were increased, he also specifically looked up some information about the owner of the "Strange Fate" building.

But this inspection shocked him even more.

According to the information, the rise of the Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion was thousands of years later than his own, but the speed of his rise far exceeded his own imagination!

The records about him before he became immortal are very vague. After he broke through to immortality, although the records are also very simple, and even the records of his actions are very few, every action he took was incredibly shocking!

Not long after breaking through to immortality, he slaughtered nearly a hundred King-level limit cultivators in the extraterrestrial battlefield, achieving the invincible reputation of a King-level expert; thousands of years later, he struck again, directly and forcefully defeating the Blood Soul Pool Master, demonstrating the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord; the Primordial Star annihilated a cosmic overlord with a single palm strike.
His most recent feat was nearly 20,000 years ago, which was the battle that truly made him famous—

In that battle, the Lord of Qiyuan Tower joined forces with the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Dragon Journey to fight nine alien universe lords!

In the final battle, eight of the nine alien universe lords were killed, and one was captured.
Of the eight fallen Universe Lords, four died directly at the hands of the Lord of the Wonderful Affinity Pavilion!
Those were four universe masters, powerful beings standing at the pinnacle of the universe, yet they were killed in a single battle by the Lord of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion!

Although some of those universe lords may have only come as avatars, the fact that Luo Feng killed four universe lords in one battle still shocked him greatly!

Not long ago, he had only managed to kill one of the Lord of Sinking Fire's avatars by relying on the power of the Star Tower.

The Lord of Sinking Fire was far weaker than the Universe Lords who had fallen at the hands of the Lord of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion, not to mention that he was merely an avatar of the Lord of Sinking Fire! Originally, he possessed three avatars, the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, the Tribulation Armor, the Star Tower, the strongest talent secret technique, and many other powerful opportunities. He was able to create the ultimate secret technique of a Universe Lord during his immortal era, and after cultivating for 100,000 years, he achieved the amazing feat of possessing the combat power of a Universe Lord.
In his heart, there was a certain degree of arrogance towards the many powerful beings in the entire primordial universe.

However, after seeing the information about the owner of this strange encounter, his slightly 'inflated' mentality quickly subsided.

Compared to the achievements of the Master of Strange Fate, my current accomplishments pale in comparison!

With the brilliant achievements of the Master of Strange Fate Pavilion preceding him, he felt that his own meager accomplishments were almost unworthy of mention.
"I'll summon a few of them now."

“At the very least, our lineage from the virtual universe should gather together first,” said the Lord of Chaos City.

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

Like father, like son; the human race is also divided into several small groups. Our own virtual universe lineage is naturally considered a small group, but judging from the current situation, this small group's combat power is extremely terrifying.

The Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Strange Fate are among the most powerful Lords of the Universe. The Lord of Ice Peak and the Lord of Dragon Journey are not much weaker. As for the Lord of Darkness, he is even more mysterious and unpredictable. It sounds like he should be comparable to the Lord of Chaos City.

Even the Lord of Youhou, though a junior, possesses extremely strong combat power.

Luo Feng's combat strength in this camp is estimated to be comparable to that of Lord Youhou. Of course, this does not take the Star Tower into account.

If the Star Tower is included, he is confident that he can approach or even reach the level of the Ice Peak Lord and the Dragon Lord!

……

Luo Feng sat there silently waiting.

Soon, figures began to appear in this space.

The Lord of Youhou was tall and thin, with two ears, each with a curved horn pointing upwards like two sickles, and an eye between his eyebrows. He was dressed in dark blue armor with scales all over his body.

The Dragon Lord possesses a body as imposing as a mountain and a thick, extended dragon tail.

The cold, icy lord of the Ice Peak, with graying temples and wearing ancient battle armor stained with blood.

Dressed in black, he exuded an eerie and dark aura, resembling a serpent serpent from the shadows, the Lord of Darkness.

And the last one, the heroic black-haired youth with a face remarkably similar to that of an Earthling, dressed in an ancient white robe, 'Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion'!
"chaos."

The young man in white robes and black hair sat down, first nodding slightly to the Lord of Chaos City, then turning his gaze to Luo Feng: "Luo Feng, is this our first formal meeting?"

"The Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion!"

Luo Feng's tone immediately became solemn, "Thank you very much, Master Qiyuan, for speaking up for me on the matter of reclaiming ownership of Earth!"

Luo Feng is someone who values ​​family ties and his roots extremely much; Earth is essentially a taboo for him!
Previously, half of Earth's ownership was taken away, and a large number of alien immigrants occupied Earth's ocean areas, built floating cities on a large scale, and some arrogant alien immigrants even caused great harm and oppression to Earth's humans. All of these things made Luo Feng extremely angry.

Although he was angry, he was powerless to change anything in the short term due to his limited strength.

Even last time, when he proposed to trade the Qijing Stone for the other half of the ownership of Earth, it was initially rejected.

Later, it was this strange encounter with the landlord who spoke up for him, which ultimately led to the return of all control over the Earth to humankind!
Therefore, Luo Feng naturally felt endless gratitude towards the owner of the Qiyuan Pavilion in front of him!
"Haha, it's just a small matter, not worth mentioning," Qi Yuan said with a faint smile.

Nearly 20,000 years have passed, and Luo Feng's basic return rate has increased again, reaching 94 times, which suggests that he has gained something in recent years.

"Master of Qiyuan Pavilion, if there is anything I can do to help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!" Luo Feng said firmly.

"You're welcome"

Qi Yuan smiled and nodded, but then changed the subject, "I don't have any way to help, but there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Oh?"

Luo Feng looked slightly puzzled and asked curiously, "What is it? Please speak freely, Master of the Wonderful Encounters Pavilion!"

"It's nothing serious."

Qi Yuan laughed and said, "I've heard that Earth was transformed by the most ancient and mysterious strongest being in the universe, the Mountain-Sitting Guest, which is why it has such miraculous effects. I'm curious about his method of transformation and would like to visit Earth from time to time to sense and study it. After all, Earth is your territory, so of course I need your permission to go there."

"this one?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng immediately laughed and said, "It is an honor for Master Qiyuan to visit my Earth! One of my avatars usually cultivates on Earth. Master Qiyuan is welcome to come at any time, and will certainly be warmly welcomed!"

"Haha, okay, thank you very much!" Qi Yuan nodded with a smile.

"You're too kind, Master Qiyuan. I should be the one thanking you."

The seven universe masters from the Virtual Universe Company gathered together for a short chat, getting acquainted with Luo Feng, the 'newcomer'.
As is customary, the Lord of Chaos City led the group to pay their respects to the founder of the Virtual Universe Company, who was also the teacher of the Lord of Chaos City and the others, and the super strongman who was once invincible in the universe—the Primordial Ancestor!
A special place in the virtual universe.

Here, the surrounding air currents have thinned, and in the endless void, there stands a towering, infinitely tall statue.

Surrounded by air currents, the endlessly towering statue, whose height is unknown, is emanating endless fluctuations of laws. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, space, time, metal void, wood void, water void... all kinds of laws and even the laws of operation are surging out from the endless statue.

In a daze, these endless, majestic statues gave one the feeling of seeing the 'origin of the universe'!
This place is the core of the entire virtual universe, and also where the suppressed consciousness of that 'original' ancestor converges!
After Qi Yuan broke through to the level of the Universe Lord, he had already come here once with the Chaos City Lord and others.

However, on that occasion, it was mainly the Chaos City Lord and a few disciples under the original ancestor who silently reported the situation. Qi Yuan was just an observer, and nothing special happened.

However, this time, just as Qi Yuan and his group arrived near the statue, an unexpected scene unfolded—

A figure in white robes suddenly appeared in front of Qi Yuan.
