Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 277 I Have a Method

Inside the original secret realm, in a main hall that originally belonged to the Lord of Chaos City, there was a scene of jubilation.

The victorious human cosmic lords gathered here, all drinking and celebrating!

In this battle, the human race did not even summon its allies from the Hongmeng Alliance. They single-handedly swept through the combined forces of the three major races, killing and capturing nearly 50 Universe Lords in a single battle, all while remaining completely unscathed.
What an absolutely magnificent battle! It was truly an unprecedented and resounding victory!
"Haha, esteemed rulers of the universe, this is a great victory! I estimate that many small and medium-sized forces in the primordial universe have been thoroughly intimidated. The future situation of our human race will be much better. You are all heroes of the human race this time!"

The Lord of Chaos City and the Founder of the Giant Axe stood side by side on the steps of the main hall, holding wine cups, looking down at a large group of universe lords, extremely excited.

"So what if the three-race allied forces were powerful? They were still defeated and forced to retreat in panic."

"This is the glory of humanity, and the glory of each and every one of you."

"Let me wait and drink this cup together."

A jubilation.

Before this war broke out, the human race's cosmic ruler was still somewhat uneasy.

After all, the strength of any one of the three major races is no weaker than that of the human race before. When the three races unite, they are absolutely terrifyingly powerful.

In particular, the allied forces have four of the strongest beings in the universe, twice the number of their own. If their high-end combat power is unable to restrain those strongest beings from the alien universe, the other side can easily inflict damage on the human race's universe master.

A top-tier sixth-order attack is enough to directly kill a third-order universe master; even using the strongest secret technique to resist would yield the same result!

Even a fourth-order universe master, if controlled by illusions or similar means and unable to actively resist, will perish directly.

Although the rules governing the original universe prevent the strongest beings in the universe from killing the rulers of their own universes at will, they can still disrupt the formation of enemy rulers and help their own rulers suppress the enemy.

Fortunately, the existence of the Master of Extraordinary Fate allowed him to single-handedly hold off two of the strongest beings from the alien universe, thus creating the possibility for a complete reversal of the situation.

Not to mention that he also brought out a full ten supreme treasures, which was another key point that enabled the human race to win against the odds!

Soon, one after another, the human universe lords, including the two strongest beings in the universe, the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord, all raised their glasses to Qi Yuan.

"Qi Yuan!"

The founder of the Giant Axe smiled at Qi Yuan, "You deserve the greatest credit for this great victory! Let us all raise a toast to you!"

"A toast to the Lord of Qiyuan!" The Lord of Chaos City and all the human universe lords raised their wine cups.

"This victory was won through everyone's joint efforts and risking their lives. I toast to you all, let's drink to this together!" Qi Yuan smiled slightly and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"Haha, cheers! Let's drink to this together!" One after another, the powerful human warriors raised their cups.

After the excitement subsided, the Giant Axe Founder summoned all the human universe lords to discuss their next course of action.

"Although this has caused considerable losses to the three major clans, it is not enough to seriously damage their foundation. The three parties will not give up so easily."

The founder of the giant axe spoke up, "Moreover, this battle, a great victory, is enough to deter some weaker small and medium-sized forces, but those truly powerful super forces and top forces will probably be even more wary of our human race. Including those strongest individuals in the solitary universe, they will also covet the ancient civilization heritage in our human race even more."

"I reckon that before long, a larger-scale war against our human race, involving more forces and stronger individuals, will follow!"

His voice was slightly solemn, “This time, it will be the real test for our human race. If we pass this test, our human race will be in the vast universe, where we can roam freely! If we fail, we will lead the human elites to retreat into the initial universe, the small universe, to lie low and wait for billions of years to rise again.”

"There are quite a few enemies in the primordial universe who are eyeing our human race with hostility," the Lord of Darkness said coldly.

“That’s right. Even with our supreme treasures, our human race can barely handle the combined forces of the three races. If the Prison Clan, the Crystal Clan, and other forces, along with the strongest individuals in the Lone Universe, were to attack together, our race would be no match for them,” Lord Peng Gong also spoke up.

"We need to get the allies of the Hong Alliance to join the war," Lord Huangjian said solemnly.

"Not only those from the Hong Alliance, but also other alien universe lords who can be won over can be brought over as well!" another universe lord added.

"After this battle, the prestige of our human race has greatly increased, and indeed many small and medium-sized forces have contacted me, wanting to join our human race's camp."

The Lord of Chaos City also smiled and said, "Even the Misty Peak Alliance, a second-tier power that is only slightly inferior to the nine top powers, has contacted me."

Normally, the Giant Axe Founder mainly serves as the highest military deterrent for the human race. He also frequently ventures into the Cosmic Sea. Most of the human race's affairs are handled by the Chaos City Lord. Therefore, those who wish to join the human race naturally contact him first.

"I've received quite a few inquiries, including from the strongest individuals in the solitary universe. Apart from the Mountain Dweller, they've all contacted me, all expressing interest in cooperating with my human race," the Giant Axe Founder said with a faint smile.

"Oh? That's good news."

"That's right. If those forces can unite, then our human race can naturally unite as well. Moreover, our human race possesses the inheritance of ancient civilization, which gives us a greater advantage than other forces in attracting other forces to join us!"

The human universe lords were all quite excited upon hearing this.

The effects of the previous battle fought by the human race are now beginning to show!

"Chaos, Giant Axe, those powerful forces and the strongest lone wolves must have many conditions for standing on the side of our human race," Qi Yuan asked.

"Yes, they certainly aren't that kind-hearted. What are their conditions?" All the human race's universe lords, including Luo Feng, Lord Peng Gong, and Lord of Darkness, looked over.

"You guessed right. Those top powers, especially the strongest in the Lone Universe, have huge appetites. They immediately asked me for information about their reincarnation experience." The Giant Axe Founder shook his head with a smile.

"Breaking through the cycle of reincarnation? How is that possible? If we give it to them, what is the point of our human race obtaining this ancient civilization's legacy!"

"impossible!"

"What's more, we ourselves can't even see the information about those who have passed through reincarnation!" Luo Feng added.

Seeing the indignant expressions of the human universe's rulers, the Giant Axe Founder grinned:
"That's what I think too, so I've rejected all the cooperation requests from those top powers and the strongest beings in the universe!"

"Good rejection!"

"That's how it should be! Why should we humans be afraid of them? At worst, we'll just go into a miniature universe and lie dormant for billions of epochs!"

The lords of the universe all nodded.

In the primordial era, the human race was truly the strongest force in the original universe. Those ancient cosmic rulers who lived through that period were inherently very arrogant.

With the addition of two powerful ancient civilization inheritances and a large number of supreme treasures, the human race's powerful figures are naturally even more arrogant.

They would rather fight to the death than compromise with other forces at the expense of their own interests!

"The small and medium-sized forces that contacted me didn't have high demands. Most of them just wanted to break through to some level of guidance from the strongest beings in the universe, and some didn't even insist on inheriting the legacy of ancient civilizations."

The Lord of Chaos City smiled faintly, "The Misty Peak Alliance, for example, has expressed its willingness to directly support our human race in the war, on the condition that our human race, once a strong individual breaks through the cycle of reincarnation and establishes a new Holy Land universe, can provide their race with a place to thrive and survive within that Holy Land universe."

"That's something we can consider."

"The Universe Lords of the Misty Peak Alliance certainly have guts!" one Universe Lord nodded.

"Qi Yuan, Luo Feng, all the ancient civilization heritage of our human race was obtained by the two of you. I would like to hear your opinions on how to deal with it first." The gaze of the Giant Axe Founder swept over Qi Yuan and Luo Feng one after the other.

"Information about surviving reincarnation is simply impossible. It's restricted by the rules governing the original universe, and I myself can't see it. Even the content about reaching the limits of the strongest beings in the universe absolutely cannot be disseminated. That's the foundation upon which my human race stands. If it's given to other forces, my human race will have no advantage at all."

Luo Feng spoke first, "As for the rest, let the teacher and the founder of the Giant Axe decide. I have no objection."

"Ah."

The founder of the giant axe nodded, then looked at Qi Yuan, "Qi Yuan, what's your opinion?"

"My thoughts are similar to Luo Feng's. The most important part of the inheritance naturally cannot be passed on to outsiders. As for the others, I do have some ideas."

Qi Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking, "Although our human race needs allies, we need those who are truly willing to overcome difficulties with our human race, not those who take advantage of our misfortune."

"Anyone who wants to join my human race must formally join the Hong Alliance, and all their actions will be subject to the rules of the Hong Alliance."

"As for their desire for the inheritance of ancient civilizations? Or for a future holy land in the universe? Fine! Let them help my human race win this war first!"

Qi Yuan smiled faintly, "After this war ends, based on the performance of these alien races in the war, each era can allocate a few places for their young members to study at the Myriad Paths Academy. As long as they can complete the academy's tasks and make more contributions to our human race in the future, anything is possible!"

Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, the founder of the giant axe, the Lord of Chaos City, and Luo Feng, along with other human universe masters, all brightened up and showed expressions of agreement.

"Excellent! Let them help our human race win this war first, then we can talk about other things!"

"That's a good idea!"

"Yes, even if we have to pass on some of the ancient civilization's heritage to them, we should have their young members come to the human race to learn. This way, we can fulfill our promise and also slightly slow down their rise using the ancient civilization's heritage, buying at least a generation's worth of time for our human race to rise. We can even take this opportunity to win over their young geniuses and make them more loyal to our human race."

"Determining the number of students to study based on their contributions in the war will motivate them to work even harder!"

"Brilliant! Master Qiyuan's plan is truly ingenious!"

All the powerful human warriors expressed their agreement.

"However, this might shake the resolve of some forces that originally wanted to join us. After all, they would have to participate in a powerful war where even many universe lords might perish without gaining any benefits. I estimate that many universe lords will have to reconsider."

The Lord of Chaos City offered a timely reminder: "If we cannot win over enough Lords of the Universe before the war begins, the upcoming decisive battle will be difficult to handle."

"It doesn't matter!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qi Yuan chimed in, "Recently, I've made some progress in my research on the ancient civilization's heritage. There just happens to be a method that can allow our human race to quickly acquire a large number of universe lord-level combatants in a short period of time!"

"only"

He smiled at the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord, "Your small universes are going to be under some pressure for the foreseeable future."
