Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 201 War Begins

A hundred years later.

Virtual universe, the Supreme Temple of the Hongmeng Alliance.

Four figures sat separately, forming the true decision-making core of the human race and the Hong Alliance at this moment—the founder of the giant axe,

The Mountain-Sitting Guest, the Lord of Chaos City, and Huyanbo, the Lord of All Things.

"Not long ago, the two-faced ancestral god of the Ancestral God Sect contacted me," Hu Yanbo said, breaking the silence of the temple.

Huyanbo had close ties with the Ancestral God Sect.

Hu Yanbo also shared a portion of the valuable information about ancient civilizations and cultivation systems that the Mountain-Sitting Guest had provided with the three ancestral gods.

Of course, it is limited to only the three ancestral gods themselves.

This "gift," coupled with the mysterious relationship between Huyanbo himself and the primordial cosmic will, has made the Ancestral God Sect take a clear stance on matters involving Huyanbo.

"The Purple Moon Holy Land universe, through the Lord of Light as an intermediary, is secretly contacting various forces in the primordial universe to encircle and annihilate me."

"They say the promised reward will be even greater after they successfully ambush and kill me."

The temple fell silent instantly, with only the chaotic currents flowing silently.

The Lord of Chaos City said with a solemn expression: "We rarely have contact with the Holy Land Universe, yet this time it has taken the initiative to interfere with the Primal Universe."

"Moreover, since you're being targeted like this, Wanxiang, you've probably touched upon their core interests."

For the two holy lands, the life and death of true gods and the changing of the original universe's forces are no longer enough to truly move them.

Therefore, he rarely gets angry.

"Hmm, Ziyue probably thinks I'm a threat to him," Huyanbo said with a smile.

"A threat?" Both the founder of the giant axe and the Lord of Chaos City were completely baffled.

"We'll talk about this later."

"The Ancestral God Church stands with us in the upcoming war."

"As for the others, there are probably quite a few forces that believe that humanity has a great chance of winning even against the combined forces of many powers in the primordial universe," Hu Yanbo said calmly.

In the original story, during the difficult period when the human race lost the Giant Axe Founder, they were still able to stabilize their position under the siege of multiple forces, thanks to the rise of Luo Feng and the support of the Chaos City Lord and others, and gradually win the support of some forces.

Today, the Hongmeng boasts three of the strongest forces in the world, and its power is at its zenith. There's no reason why it shouldn't attract the support of more forces.

The Lord of Chaos City said solemnly, "I will personally oversee this matter."

"Secondly," Hu Yanbo continued, "the basic bottleneck analysis and common pitfalls on the path from the Lord of the Universe to the strongest being in the universe in the clan's treasure trove can be released to the core members of the Hong Alliance in batches as appropriate."

"The chaos is also in your hands to manage."

"Alright!" The Chaos City Lord nodded.

"If the Purple Moon Holy Land wants to fight, then let them fight."

"Let us take advantage of this turmoil to further enhance the prestige of our human race and the Hong Alliance in the hearts of all races in the universe."

After Hu Yanbo made arrangements for many things, the meeting adjourned.

Time passed, and hundreds of years went by in the blink of an eye.

During this period, another holy universe—the Eastern Emperor Holy Land—also contacted Huyan Bo through secret channels, expressing its willingness to exchange the most powerful treasures for the relevant inheritance guidance after transcending reincarnation.

However, Hu Yanbo refused this request.

It wasn't that Huyanbo was unwilling.

It's just a legacy; you can create some miscellaneous or mechanical legacies that only reach the level of Void True God to fool people.

The problem lies in the method of inheritance.

The Mountain Dweller currently does not possess any treasures similar to the "Stone of Inheritance" that can perfectly carry high-level information.

Therefore, he could only reluctantly refuse the deal for the supreme treasure.

Furthermore, due to the impending great war, all the Lords of the Hongmeng Universe who were adventuring in the Cosmic Sea returned, and Luo Feng, who originally planned to go on an adventure in the Cosmic Sea, did not have the chance to go.

It has been waiting in the primordial universe.

The vast universe, a sky full of stars.

Suddenly, two vast and majestic figures, disregarding endless spatial distances and dimensional barriers, descended directly into this void.

One was a beautiful, ethereal figure, while the other was the image of a majestic old man.

The two illusory figures faced each other silently.

After a long while, the beautiful phantom asked, "Mountain Dweller, my insectoid race wishes to join the human army."

The imposing old man smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, have you thought it through?"

The beautiful, ethereal figure nodded.

The imposing old man before her had always seemed unfathomable to her since she met him. Although he was always smiling, he had never harmed her.

So the Queen decided to give it a try.

Then the old man's smile deepened. "I will introduce you to Wanxiang."

"Remember, once you've decided to back down, be humble and polite when facing him."

"If you anger him, I can't protect you."

This last sentence caused the starlight flowing around that beautiful phantom to tremble violently!

Her original plan was to negotiate with the founder of the Giant Axe and the Lord of All Things through the introduction of the Mountain Guest.

But unexpectedly, the only person they negotiated with was the Lord of All Things.

This undoubtedly shows that the Lord of All Things has more say in the human race or within the Hong Alliance than the two strongest beings in the world!

Even more!

"I understand." The beautiful, ethereal figure nodded.

"Yes." The mountain dweller nodded with a smile.

The two figures then disappeared without a sound.

The starry sky at the edge of this cosmic sea has returned to eternal silence.

Inside the ancient temple, the chaotic energy flowed as usual.

Huyanbo and the mountain dweller sat facing each other.

"So, Senior Sitting Mountain Guest, the Zerg Queen wants to join our side?"

"Yes!" The man sitting on the mountain nodded.

Hu Yanbo put down his teacup: "It's naturally a good thing that the Empress has joined us."

Hu Yanbo wasn't afraid of the major powers joining forces, but it would be even better if another super power joined his side.

"However, there is one thing that interests me."

A hint of curiosity appeared in Huyanbo's eyes.

"Senior Mountain Dweller, your relationship with this Zerg Queen is quite extraordinary?"

Upon hearing this, the Mountain-Sitting Guest slowly said, "There's nothing that can't be said. It was at the beginning of this cycle of reincarnation, when the primordial universe had not been formed for long."

"I have no bottlenecks on my spiritual path and have made rapid progress. I often travel to various parts of the universe to observe the evolution of life."

"By chance, I encountered the Zerg Queen who was still growing up."

"So I took her with me to practice for a while."

As a reincarnation of a god-king, it wouldn't be too difficult for Zuo Shan Ke to regain his god-king status, let alone cultivate to become a true god!

Therefore, he spent very little time cultivating, but most of his time accumulating resources, observing and verifying the environment of the primordial universe, to see if it could truly nurture the disciple he envisioned, someone capable of inheriting his legacy of weapon crafting and revenge.

During his travels, he would casually enlighten one or two lives that were destined to be enlightened, which was nothing more than a matter of whim.

"Later, relying on her own talent and that guidance, she quickly rose to power, unified the Zerg, and became a regional overlord," the Mountain Guest laughed.

After listening, Hu Yanbo nodded slightly.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you to make the arrangements, senior."

"Alright. I'll have her come as soon as possible." The illusory figure of the Mountain Hermit slowly stood up, nodded to Hu Yanbo, and then exited the virtual universe.

No sooner had the mountain hermit departed than a bold, rugged voice rang out: "Wanxiang! Good news!"

The towering figure of the founder of the giant axe appeared, "That..."

'

In the primordial universe, within a distorted spacetime starscape.

Many towering figures stood in the void. These figures exuded auras that were either violent, cold, eerie, or profound. They were all the strongest beings in the universe, standing at the top of the primordial universe!

"Rare indeed, truly rare."

"I never expected that even the progenitor of demonic beasts would come this time."

The entity named was a colossal being with a vague, beast-like form, enveloped in an ancient and savage aura.

He is the progenitor of all demonic beasts.

It claims to be the source and guide of all demons and cosmic beasts, and should rightfully rule over the alliance of demons and cosmic beasts.

The earliest period of the primordial universe was indeed glorious, but reality was cruel. With the rise of the two great demon ancestors of the demon race and the old beast god of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, their strength eventually surpassed that of the demons.

They then drove the progenitor of the demon beasts out of the clan.

Therefore, the progenitor of demon beasts often opposed matters involving the interests of these two races.

But this time, he appeared here.

"Hmph, I, the progenitor, cannot tolerate the arrogance and disdain of the human race!" The voice of the progenitor of the demon beasts boomed like thunder.

"This progenitor simply couldn't stand it!"

"What a noble ancestor!" the beautiful Zerg queen said with a smile.

"It seems that, aside from the Ancestral God Sect and those two from the Hong Alliance who are destined to remain neutral, almost all the strongest beings in the Primordial Universe have gathered here today!"

"This is the inevitable trend!" said a giant white snake.

Within the primordial universe, the strongest beings could at most unleash the pinnacle of sixth-order power.

What truly determines the outcome is the size and combined attack of the universe's master legion!

However, each of the strongest individuals can rally and lead a large number of universe lords to join the alliance.

Even the strongest lone wolf can command the following of many cosmic lords with a mere wave of his arm.

Therefore, it is conceivable that there must be many cosmic lords gathered in this allied forces.

"Since we are stronger than the human alliance in terms of top-tier combat power, the alliance of the universe's masters will have an absolute numerical advantage," the figure shrouded in a hazy blue light said slowly.

"Then, it's time to discuss a specific time to launch an attack."

"No rush. Going to war should be the last resort, as it will result in huge losses and many variables."

"The inheritance that allows us to rise rapidly, held by the Lord of All Things, is perhaps what we truly need. Wouldn't it be safer to obtain it directly through negotiation than to follow the promises of the Purple Moon Holy Land and gamble on a bloody battle?" The beautiful phantom of the Zerg Queen swayed gently.

"Indeed. Although the Purple Moon Holy Land is powerful, its inheritance and guidance are ultimately separated by the cycle of reincarnation, and the conditions are vague. The human race, on the other hand, has truly created miracles in this era."

"Let's talk first. If they know what's good for them and are willing to share their core secrets, we may not need to resort to arms." The white giant serpent—the Dream Demon Ancestor—spit out its tongue and said coldly.

"Hmph, naive!" the progenitor of demonic beasts roared, his body surging with a savage aura.

"Such a foundation for their clan wouldn't be easily given away! The Purple Moon Holy Land knows it can't be directly exchanged, which is why they've sent us as their weapons! In my opinion, we should just attack and seize it!"

"I also think the chances of negotiation are slim," the figure engulfed in flames said.

"If human heritage were truly so easily obtained, why would the Purple Moon Holy Land need to go through this long and complicated process?"

"I'm afraid they've already tried to make contact and failed. But there's no harm in talking."

I second that.

"Can."

Several figures successively expressed their agreement to conduct negotiations first.

Seeing this, the leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance let out a faint glint of azure light: "Very well. Since the majority prefers to try negotiations first, then let's proceed accordingly."

"Who would like to go?"

"I'll go," a previously silent figure said in a low voice.

He is none other than the strongest being in the solitary universe—the Lord of the Primordial Island.

The Lord of Shihua Island possesses unfathomable strength and gained fame at a very young age.

"Alright! Then I'll trouble you, Shi Hua, to make the trip."

We're waiting for your good news.

With the plan finalized, the towering figures no longer lingered.

a few days later.

Virtual universe, inside the Temple of the Giant Axe.

"Everyone, you must have already read the emails sent by Chaos and know the current situation our race faces."

The giant axe surveyed the crowd: "The Primordial Island Lord has personally come to our human territory, representing the so-called forces of the Primordial Universe," to propose that our human race publicly share the ancient civilization heritage obtained from all phenomena.

"If humanity is unwilling, then the allied forces represented by the Lord of Primordial Island will formally declare war on humanity!"

"A threat?!" Lord Youhou roared.

"We humans are the undisputed number one force in the primordial universe!"

"Among the nearly one hundred powerful forces in the cosmic sea, my Hongmeng ranks firmly at the forefront! Do they think their cobbled-together so-called alliance is worthy of threatening humanity? Who gave them the audacity!"

"Lord You, calm down." The Lord of Dragons' voice was steady, yet tinged with solemnity.

"This situation is no small matter."

"Within the primordial universe, apart from the Ancestral God Cult which maintains absolute neutrality and our Hong Alliance itself, all other super powers—the Demon Race, the Insect Race, the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the Crystal Race, and the Prison Race—have all declared their intention to join the allied forces!"

"At the level of the strongest in the universe, apart from the two from my Hong Alliance, all the others are also on the opposite side."

"Many top-tier forces, lacking a supreme leader but possessing multiple universe masters, have, in turn, chosen to side with the Allied Forces after they displayed their formidable lineup."

The leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance and others are well-versed in the art of creating momentum.

After Hu Yanbo refused the request of the island lord to share, the allied forces not only did not try to cover it up, but instead took the opportunity to completely publicize and make high-profile their "all-star" lineup.

Then, with an overwhelming advantage, they intimidated those who were still wavering, attracted more speculators, and completely overwhelmed the human race in terms of momentum.

"This lineup is truly unprecedented." The Lord of Qingdong sneered.

"For the sake of our human race's heritage, all sorts of monsters and demons have come out, and even some long-time enemies have temporarily shaken hands."

"How come I didn't know that my human faction was so hated before?" Master Peng frowned, his usually smiling face showing obvious frustration and confusion.

As a top-tier fifth-order universe master, Master Peng's authority was similar to that of Chaos, and he knew a great deal from the very beginning.

That's why he felt particularly frustrated and confused by the almost one-sided trend he was facing.

"Since so many people have joined the Allied Forces, let's pray that they have good luck in the Cosmic Sea and don't end up alone." Lord of the Wilderness said calmly.

No matter what, even if they lose, they can still go to the small universe of the two strongest members of the Hongmeng.

Furthermore, his disciples will surely be able to break through to the True God realm, as will Chaos, and he himself will also have a chance.

Moreover, they don't even know what the three strongest combat forces in the universe are, and they couldn't do anything to the other side in the original universe.

But once you leave the primordial universe and enter the cosmic sea...

The founder of the Giant Axe, the Mountain-Sitting Guest, is no laughing matter when it comes to strength.

At that time, those universe lords in the allied forces who flaunt their numbers in the original universe would better act in groups of a hundred, otherwise they will be in trouble.

Therefore, the Lord of the Wasteland was generally quite indifferent.

Moreover, the Lord of the Wasteland's gaze seemed to casually sweep over the other end of the long stone table, where the black-robed youth, Huyan Bo, sat quietly.

The Lord of the Wasteland knew his disciple all too well.

Huyanbo is not usually someone who doesn't show his emotions; he gets angry when he should and laughs when he should.

But at this moment, facing the combined pressure from the top forces that almost swept across the entire primordial universe, and the ultimatum issued by the Lord of the Primordial Island on behalf of the allied forces, Hu Yanbo remained silent, leaving everything to be handled by the Giant Axe Founder.

He just sat there, his eyes slightly lowered. Whether it was his imagination or not, the Lord of the Wasteland felt that his disciple was holding something back.

If his disciple is really harboring some kind of idea, then those who oppose him will be in trouble!

The Lord of the Wasteland was deep in thought, and the meeting continued.

Finally, the founder of the giant axe stood up and called out.

"Notify our allies, war is here!"

"The battle is awesome!"
