Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 257 Forcing a Bull to Drink Water, Earth Quota Fee

After some thought, following the rule of "when in doubt, consult the boss," the Lord of False Gold went to the Temple of the Giant Axe.

Of course, this Giant Axe Temple is not the same as the Giant Axe Temple of the Supreme Council of the Clan; it is merely the permanent location of the Giant Axe in the virtual universe.

Not long after, inside the Temple of the Giant Axe.

After telling Giant Axe about the letter from the Heavenly Court requesting that his Chaos Stele be renamed, the Lord of Void Gold said indignantly, "Giant Axe, what do you think?"

Glancing at the Lord of Void Gold, Giant Axe said, "Change the name of the Chaos Stele."

"This"

The Lord of False Gold hesitated for a moment.

The giant axe asked, "Do you think the Heavenly Court is easy to talk to?"

The Lord of False Gold nodded subconsciously. Although he had not had much dealings with the Heavenly Court, his impression of the Heavenly Court was that it was quite benevolent.

But the next second, the Lord of False Gold was startled and quickly shook his head.

The giant axe said in a deep voice, "I learned about Lingxiao's growth trajectory from Chaos."

When Ling Xiao first left Chaos City and entered the training mission phase, he had already killed a Universe Venerable.

At the Realm Lord level, he terrified alien races on the battlefields beyond the realm, and the number of immortals who died at his hands far exceeds what you know.

Before the Heavenly Court was established, six universe lords perished on the same day in the primordial universe.

Then he fought another battle with the demon race, killing three universe lords, suppressing one universe lord, and extorting a top-tier palace treasure from the demon race.

A few years ago, upon first entering the Cosmic Sea, he killed the Holy Spirit Lord of the Crystal Clan, the Longshi Lord of the Crystal Clan Alliance, and the Blood Thunder Demon God, an eighth-order true god of the second reincarnation era.

Does Ling Xiao have a grudge against them? No, it's just that Ling Xiao has his eye on the treasures they possess.

Furthermore, Ling Xiao's bloodthirstiness is extraordinary; he has done even more ruthless things, but I can't tell you about them.

Xu Jin, you need to understand that in the universe, the words of the strong are the truth, and you have to accept them whether you like it or not.

Frankly speaking, whether in the primordial universe or the cosmic sea, even if our five major forces were united, they would still be no match for the Heavenly Court.

Furthermore, the many celestial realms of the Heavenly Court are located within supreme treasures of the sealing type, placing them in an invincible position. No powerful individual can threaten the Heavenly Court's foundation.

The battle in which the Heavenly Court suppressed the Blood Thunder Demon God in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space had long been transmitted back to the Primordial Universe, and he knew the specific details.

After all, there were quite a few leaders of the Hongmeng Alliance present in the space of the black-patterned stone pillar at that time.

Putting everything else aside, the combined attack power of the Seven Clouds Lord, whose entire legion reached the eighth rank, was enough to crush all the high-ranking members of the five major forces.

"I'm going there to change the name of the Chaos Stele."

The Lord of False Gold gave a wry smile and prepared to leave the temple.

Why force a cow to drink water?
That's just the person holding down the bull's head; they're not strong enough.

"and many more."

The giant axe called out to the Lord of False Gold.

The Lord of False Gold looked at the giant axe with some confusion.

Giant Axe continued, "When Lingxiao first came into the view of the Virtual Universe Company, he appeared in the territory of the Tianshuang Universe Kingdom."

But his hometown is in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The distance between these two cosmic kingdoms is almost half the territory of our human race.

Crossing half the territory of a race is no small undertaking for a being that is only at the stellar level and whose clone is merely at the cosmic level.

I couldn't understand why Ling Xiao did this at first, but after the Heavenly Court was established and the human race living inside the Heavenly Court's Xuanhuang Heaven logged into the virtual universe on a large scale, I finally understood.

Lingxiao's home planet, Earth, has an incredible effect on enhancing the potential of the soul; any life conceived and born on Earth can receive this enhancement.

Although I don't know how this effect came about, since it's Lingxiao's hometown and I can't go back in time to investigate the secrets, this effect does exist.

Lord of Light of Heaven, didn't you ask me to change the name of the Chaos Stele? This order should have been given by Ling Xiao.

After you change the name of the Chaos Monument, talk to the Lord of Light about Earth and see if you can buy some slots to go to Earth to conceive and raise children.

The giant axe learned of the Earth's special properties not long after it was born in the Heavenly Court.

After all, everyone on Earth knows about the vast number of ancestral records within the Xuanhuang Heaven. After contacting the universe through the virtual universe, it's inevitable that some big mouths will follow suit.

But the giant axe didn't know how to bring it up with the Heavenly Court.

After all, although Lu Jin appeared to be polite on the surface, in his impression he was a bloodthirsty bastard who was good at disregarding martial ethics, something that the demon race and the mechanical race definitely knew all too well.

To avoid worsening the relationship between the Giant Axe Arena and the Heavenly Court, he kept quiet about it.

However, this is a good opportunity. My Lord of the Void Gold in the Giant Axe Arena has fully cooperated with you and suffered a little grievance. Shouldn't your Heavenly Court show some appreciation?
My Giant Axe Arena doesn't need much; just spending money to buy some slots to go to Earth to reproduce is enough.

"Is that so? I see."

The Lord of False Gold looked surprised, then nodded.

Not long after, a major event occurred within the Chaos City of the Initial Universe, in the Tianxu lineage that cultivated the Tianxu Chaos Stele.

The Heavenly Ruins Chaos Stele has been renamed the Void Ruins Chaos Stele, and the cultivators of the Heavenly Ruins lineage have also been renamed the Void Ruins lineage.

Virtual universe, Heavenly Court plane, Lingxiao Palace.

"Heavenly Emperor, the Lord of Void Gold has renamed the Heavenly Ruins Chaos Stele to the Void Chaos Stele."

Zi Zhenfeng reported to Lu Jin.

"Not bad, he knows what's good for him."

Lu Jin nodded.

Zi Zhenfeng continued, "After renaming the Chaos Stele, the Lord of Void Gold brought up the matter of Earth with me again. He wants to represent the Giant Axe Arena to purchase some slots from the Heavenly Court for people to go to Earth to conceive offspring. He hopes you can agree."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You should reply to Xu Jin: Earth can only accept a maximum of 1000 million non-Heavenly Court members at the same time. Only when one person leaves can the next person enter."

Moreover, for each year spent on Earth, each person must pay a fee of 10,000 Chaos Units.

Any period less than a year is counted as one year, even if it is only one year and one day, it is counted as two years.

The fee is what it is; come or not, it's up to you.

Furthermore, members of the Giant Axe Arena whose life level surpasses that of a Realm Lord are prohibited from entering the solar system where Earth is located.

We made it clear to Xu Jin beforehand that anyone who dared to cause trouble on Earth, no matter who they were, would be directly killed by the Heavenly Generals stationed on Earth.

If any alien spies are mixed in among these people, all the losses they cause will be paid for by the Giant Axe Arena.

If the other four major powers also want to purchase slots, let the five major powers divide them among themselves, since the number of non-Heavenly Court members cannot exceed 1000 million.

The Earth is neither very big nor very small.

Adding 1000 million people to the population is no big deal at all.

After all, the Earth today is full of habitable land areas, floating cities dot the skies above the oceans, and even countless cities exist underwater. It can be said that there are people everywhere on Earth.

However, the current level of technology on Earth is very high, and after modification, the carrying capacity for population is frighteningly high.

In fact, countless planets within a thousand light-years of Earth have also undergone some modifications.

However, it's fair to say that it has some effect, but with Earth around, Lu Jin simply ignores it.

Earth's unique environment is useful, but it's not entirely accurate to say it's of immense use.

The strong one is Luo Feng, who inherited the protagonist's template, not Earth's unique environment. Getting back to the point, the cost of 10,000 Hunyuan Units per person per year is not low.

If the number of participants is maximized, the Heavenly Court can earn 0.01 Treasure Points per year.

It may seem insignificant at first glance, but over a longer period of time, this income becomes quite substantial.

One era equals 100 Heavy Treasure Points, and one hundred million eras equals 100 billion Heavy Treasure Points, which is equivalent to more than three million Supreme Treasure Points.

And right now, it seems there are still more than six trillion epochs before the destruction of the original universe?

"Your Majesty, which department of Heaven should be responsible for handling the aftermath of this matter?"

Zi Zhenfeng asked.

Lu Jin said, "You first finalize the terms with the Giant Axe Arena, and then let Yanhuang Company handle the rest."

"Yes, Heavenly Emperor."

Zi Zhenfeng bowed and replied.

On the other side, the Mystic Realm of Ancestors.

At this moment, inside the Ancestral God Palace deep within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the Two-Faced Ancestral God also received a message from the Heavenly Court.

The message was sent by a celestial general from the Heavenly Temple to a divine general within the Ancestral God Sect who was logged into the virtual universe year-round. The divine general then passed it on to the Thunder Beast God, who was in charge of managing the sect's affairs, and finally delivered it to the Two-Faced Ancestral God.

"So time itself is your alter ego."

The two-faced ancestral god shook his head speechlessly.

Good heavens, are all the prodigies that my Ancestral God Sect is focusing on cultivating your clones?

Fortunately, it was exposed early, so the Ancestral God Cult did not suffer great losses.

Hmm... could it be that they've already looked down on the resources and treasures of the Ancestral God Sect, and that's why they're no longer hiding them?
After the war between the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan to establish their authority, the Two-Faced Ancestral God guessed the relationship between Lu Jin and the Water Qilin's avatar, 'Youming'.

After all, if it's understandable that 'Youming' joined the Heavenly Court of the Human Race, then the fact that the top-grade palace treasure 'Azure Wave Misty Palace,' which originally belonged to 'Youming,' actually appeared in the hands of other powerful figures in the Heavenly Court means that Youming's joining was not as simple as it seemed.

Moreover, the Lord of Lingxiao and the 'Netherworld' who changed his name to the Lord of Taiyin both became the Lords of the Universe at the same time.

There are coincidences in the universe, but there are definitely not that many.

The news coming from the Heavenly Court has confirmed that the 'Time' that has been missing for some time is also an avatar of Lu Jin.

After all, the Lord of Dawn had fallen at the hands of the Crystal Clan countless eons ago.

Aside from the line of the King of Time who received the legacy of the Lord of Dawn, there is no possibility that the Heavenly Court and the Lord of Dawn could have any connection.

After a moment's thought, the dual-faced ancestral god separated a wisp of his consciousness and sank it into the ancestral god's command, sending a message to the god lord Fengtian.

Not long after, a humanoid figure entered the Ancestral God Palace.

The newcomer was a burly man, about five meters tall, with three red horns on his head, long red hair cascading down his shoulders, and his entire body covered in red scales, radiating a scorching aura.

"Ancestral God, you were looking for me?"

"This is what Fengtian God Lord said, having suppressed his divine body."

"Fengtian, how did the dawn of yesteryear treat you?"

The two-faced ancestral god asked.

"Sister Chenxi?"

At this moment, the gaze of the God Lord Fengtian became somewhat unfocused, as if he had returned to countless eras ago and seen the elder sister who had protected him during his growth.

"Feng Tian, ​​can you avenge Chen Xi?"

The two-faced ancestral god asked again.

Instantly, the God Lord of the Fiery Sky donned a mask of pain.

"Ah~"

After a long silence, the Divine Lord Fengtian sighed and shook his head: "I've wasted countless years and haven't even touched the threshold of the fifth rank. I'm not even as good as the Nine Netherworlds."

The Ancestral God Sect is powerful, but the Crystal Clan is equally strong.

Moreover, the Holy Lord of the Crystal Clan is an eighth-order True God, while the Ancestral God Sect doesn't even have a single True God.

The reason why the Ancestral God Cult can maintain its status as the number one power in the original universe is simply because of the favor of the original will, which allows the three Ancestral Gods to exert sixth-order strength in the original universe.

The eight Beast Gods who inherited the title of Beast God all possessed the strength of a fifth-order Universe Lord within the Primordial Universe.

If the Ancestral God Cult targets the Crystal Clan within the Primordial Universe, then the Universe Lords who venture into the Cosmic Sea with the Ancestral God Cult will inevitably suffer the wrath of the Heavenly Crystal Saint Lord.

Furthermore, the Lord of Dawn was not the only fallen innate beast god. To avoid attracting a joint attack from many super forces in the primordial universe, the Ancestral God Sect chose to remain silent and did not avenge the eight tragically killed innate beast gods.

The two-faced ancestral god said, "If a powerful being can avenge Dawn, are you willing to make some sacrifices?"

In this wave, the Two-Faced Ancestral God is preparing to stand on the moral high ground and accurately strike the weaknesses of the Fiery Sky God Lord.

Upon hearing the voice, the Divine Lord Fengtian perked up and hurriedly asked, "Who is this powerful figure?"

The two-faced ancestral god said in a deep voice: "Human race, Heavenly Court."

A letter just arrived from Heaven, revealing that the Lord of Lingxiao in Heaven has a past relationship with the Lord of Dawn.

Your name 'Fengtian' is to the Heavenly Court what it means for humanity to know that there is a cosmic ruler in the primordial universe who calls himself the Lord of Destruction.

The Heavenly Court has decreed that if you change your name, the Heavenly Court will avenge Dawn.

"If you don't change your name, you will die the moment you step outside the Ancestral Mystic Realm."

"The Heavenly Court? Aren't there only five major powers among humans? When did this Heavenly Court appear? Is it very powerful?"

Lord Fengtian asked, puzzled.

He has been in seclusion for years and has not paid attention to the outside world.

If it weren't for the summons from the Ancestral God, it would be unknown when he would emerge from seclusion.

Double-faced Ancestor God: "."

With a blank expression, the Two-Faced Ancestral God glanced at the Lord of the Fiery Sky and said, "Just three years ago, the Heavenly Court killed the Holy Spirit Lord of the Crystal Clan in the Cosmic Ship and suppressed the Blood Thunder Demon God, whose strength reached the eighth level in the second reincarnation era."

Moreover, not long after being suppressed, the Blood Thunder Demon God's miniature universe began to collapse.

What does the collapse of the true God's miniature universe signify? Those who know, know.

"The Lord of the Holy Spirit? Well done!"

Upon hearing the sudden news of the fall of the Holy Spirit Lord, Fengtian God Lord immediately clapped his hands and cheered.

As the second strongest member of the Crystal Clan and the Holy Spirit Lord who had already mastered spacetime at that time, he must have participated in the Crystal Clan's siege of the Dawn Lord.

Are you going to change your name or not?

"Change it, I'll change it! It's just a title, nothing special. From now on, I am the Lord of Beacon Fire!"

Fengtian, or rather, Fenghuo, the God of War, immediately spoke up.

Putting aside the Heavenly Court's promise to avenge the Lord of Dawn, this strength alone, enough to kill an eighth-order True God, is enough to force him to bow down, unless he's tired of living.
