Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 299 High-Level Discussions: The Own Ownership of Earth

The Illusory Ocean Plane.

"The eighteenth Illusion Island possesses a will and consciousness pressure comparable to the peak of a King-level expert! How could Thor's will be so ridiculously powerful!"

A cosmic venerable figure clad in black robes stared in awe as Thor was teleported out.

He wouldn't be so surprised if Thor's strength was at the level of a World Lord.

Because the realm lord level is extremely special, it is only occasionally possible for someone to reach the strength of a king after a long period of training and special opportunities.

Domain Lord level!

He's just a Domain Lord who's only cultivated for a few hundred years and is even still carrying out Domain Lord missions!

"That Hong is even more terrifying! He's already reached the twentieth floor!"

"A prodigy! An unparalleled prodigy!"

"Could it be that he can actually make it to the twenty-first floor?"

"..."

One by one, the Kings and the Universe Venerables watched incredulously as Hong continued to charge forward.

This is already comparable to the insights gained from the 20th floor of the Sky Bridge!

What does this mean?

Luo Feng fought his way through the battlefields outside the realms, and only after passing through the Star Tower's inheritance did his understanding of the laws reach the level of the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge!

At that time, Luo Feng was considered by the Lord of Chaos City to be one of the most outstanding geniuses in the history of the human race, and was comparable to people like 'Kodi' and 'Erosion'.

But what if one reaches this level at the domain lord level?

This is absolutely outrageous!

However, under the watchful eyes of all the powerful figures, Hong still flew into the twenty-first island of the Illusionary Island without changing his expression!

It is also the last island in the Illusionary Island, possessing a willpower pressure comparable to that of a Cosmic Venerable!

"Judging from his performance, the twentieth level isn't too difficult! He might even be able to get through the twenty-first island?"

"Impossible! The impact of the will and consciousness of the twentieth island is not on the same level as the twentieth island. Let alone a little guy at the domain lord level, even 99% of the king-level experts would not be able to withstand it."

"This is definitely going to cause a huge upheaval!"

"..."

Many powerful figures who had been granted the title of King simply could not accept it.

How could a mere Domain Lord have a stronger will than them!

Those who can be crowned kings are all exceptional talents, outstanding individuals among men.

……

"This Illusionary Sea is indeed powerful. It becomes increasingly difficult as you go further, and the pressure of consciousness is terrifying. I pushed myself to the limit, but unfortunately, I failed on the eighteenth island."

At the edge of the cliffs on the island in the Illusionary Sea, Thor sighed.

Luo Feng and Jia Yi, the two who were eliminated from the fifteen islands, also stood here, watching Hong enter the last island.

"We still can't compare to you guys. Let's see if Hong can get past the last island."

Jia Yi said.

"Big Brother will definitely be able to get past the last island. Big Brother's spiritual cultivation has reached the third level: 'The heart is infinitely large and the heart can encompass everything.'"

No matter how strong the pressure from the twenty-one islands, I can encompass it all. My heart is boundless; it is impossible for me to crush them.

Thor said confidently, "I know Hong's spiritual cultivation better than anyone else."

"Too strong! Among us, I have the weakest will."

By the time I reached the fourteenth island, I was almost at my breaking point; I barely managed to break through the illusion and enter the fifteenth island.

Luo Feng, however, looked on with admiration.

He was eliminated the moment he entered the fifteenth island.

The fifteenth island's willpower and pressure have reached the level of a marquis.

While admiring the performance, Luo Feng was filled with fighting spirit.

Competition makes things interesting. After experiencing the Domain Lord mission and being assassinated by the Zerg infiltrator organization, Luo Feng's horizons broadened and he developed even greater ambitions!

"Brother Mu, why don't you go and try your luck on Illusion Island?"

Luo Feng turned to look at Qin Mu curiously.

"Exploring the Illusion Island is of little significance to me."

Qin Mu smiled and said.

"Not very meaningful?"

Luo Feng frowned, not quite understanding what those words meant for a moment. But then, as if he had realized something, he looked incredulous.

Mu Ge's understanding of the Zergling Tyrant Law is comparable to that of a high-level King, and he himself has even broken through the King's limit, making him invincible in the outer battlefield.

Could it be that his will is just like Brother Hong's, capable of reaching or even traversing the twenty-one islands of the Illusionary Sea?

While the group was talking, the expressions on the faces of Venerable Nine Swords and Venerable Guiyi, who were listening nearby, were rather strange.

Can someone at the Domain Lord level really be considered weak-willed to have reached the fifteenth island of Illusion Island?

Such a top genius is one in the entire human race, perhaps only once every tens of thousands of epochs.

But when they thought about the other people Luo Feng mentioned, the two realized that compared to him, Luo Feng was indeed weak-willed.

Just as the group fell silent, a series of exclamations suddenly erupted throughout the entire Illusionary Sea Plane.

Hong actually made it through the last island of the Illusionary Island!

Domain Lord level, with a will comparable to a Universe Venerable!

……

at the same time.

The highest point of Thunder Island in the virtual universe.

An ancient, bluish-gray round table was surrounded by endless air currents, and five huge stone chairs stood beside the bluish-gray stone table.

Each stone chair has intricate carvings on its back, and even the bluish-gray stone table is covered with carvings depicting various scenes.

The Lord of Chaos City sat in the head seat, and four powerful figures with different auras also appeared.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled as he looked at the four of them and said.

"You should have also received the news that our Virtual Universe Company, including Luo Feng, has produced four geniuses with the most outstanding willpower at once!"

Among the four, a towering figure, as imposing as a mountain, extended into the majestic silhouette of Long Feng, and laughed.

"I received it! I was shocked! What's going on?"

The Lord of Chaos looked at the burly man with the imposing physique, then at the other three and smiled.

"Lord of Dragons, I summoned you here to discuss this matter."

They and Qin Mu came from the same planet, a planet called Earth.

A tall, thin man with two ears, each with an upward-curving horn resembling a scythe, and an eye between his brows, wearing a set of dark blue scale-like armor that exuded an arrogant aura, looked at the Chaos City Lord with suspicion and said.

"Senior Uncle, could this matter be related to Qin Mu again?"

Qin Mu's reputation is of great interest to many of humanity's universe lords.

"It has nothing to do with him, it's related to their planet! The founder of the Giant Axe has already made a trip to their home planet..."

The Lord of Chaos City recounted in detail the information that the Giant Axe Founder had gathered to the four of them.

"What? That's a planet modified by the Mountain Dweller, capable of giving babies born there a stronger soul from the start? Its value rivals that of a supreme treasure in the peak realm?"

The Lord of Dragons was deeply shocked.

Who doesn't know Zuo Shan Ke, the strongest lone traveler in the universe who appeared in the earliest days of the universe?

"Yes, this news is indeed shocking; I was surprised myself."

The Lord of Chaos City confirmed.

"Let's talk about Hong, Thor, and Jia Yi first. Among these three, Hong was noticed by the founder of the Giant Axe, who planned to take him as his disciple."

I have Qin Mu and Luo Feng, so I won't compete with you.

The other two, what are your thoughts?

To the left of the Chaos City Lord's seat, a powerful figure wearing a simple black outer garment, beneath which lay a strange suit of armor combining silver and black, frowned upon hearing the Chaos City Lord's words.

He was bald, with skin as white as jade.

His head was covered with extremely strange and complex black runes, and even the surrounding spacetime was affected by him, with an evil dark aura spreading out.

"Did the founder of the Giant Axe take a liking to Hong?"

I also plan to take Hong as my disciple. Hong has an extremely strong will, which is very suitable for my path.

The bald man, exuding a dark aura, spoke.

"Junior brother, you've also taken a liking to Hong? Well, it makes sense. Since you specialize in the Illusionary Realm style, Hong is indeed a good fit for you."

The Lord of Chaos City frowned as he looked at his junior brother, the Lord of Darkness.

Logically speaking, Hong is a core member of Virtual Universe Company, so even if he were to become an apprentice, he should become an apprentice of the Universe Master of Virtual Universe Company.

If any other universe lord were to take a liking to Hong, he would reject them outright.

But that person was the creator of the giant axe!

Humanity's only and strongest being in the universe!

"We'll see what Hong decides then; whether or not a disciple becomes an apprentice also depends on the disciple's willingness."

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head, not making a decision immediately.

He was also in a bit of a dilemma about this matter.

"Um."

Although he was indeed optimistic about Hong, the Lord of Darkness, as the most powerful cosmic ruler among the human race, was not in such a hurry.

He didn't have many disciples, but they were all extremely talented; even the Lord of Youhou was one of his disciples.

"Haha, then I'll choose Jia Yi! I've looked up his information, and this little guy is right up my alley."

The Lord of Dragons laughed heartily.

Of the three—Hong, Lei Shen, and Jia Yi—he liked Jia Yi the most.

Hearing what the Lord of Dragons said, none of them had any objections.

The tall and thin Lord Youhou looked at the other four people, hesitated for a moment, then looked at the silver-haired man with graying temples who was wearing ancient battle armor stained with blood and carrying a battle sword, and then spoke.

"I think this little guy named Thor is pretty good! If you have no objections, then I'll take him as my disciple."

Among the five rulers of the universe, Lord Youhou is the lowest in seniority.

There was no way around it; his teacher, the Lord of Darkness, was the junior brother of the Lord of Chaos City.

Of the people present, the Lord of Chaos City did not intend to take on any disciples.

The teacher, the Lord of Darkness, has taken a liking to Hong, so of course he won't compete with the teacher.

The Lord of Dragons has taken a liking to Jia Yi, but he doesn't want to compete for him.

Only the Lord of Ice Peaks had not yet spoken. The Lord of Ice Peaks was skilled in close combat, which made him a good match for the Thunder God.

"I have no interest in taking on apprentices."

The Lord of Ice Peak, with his temples streaked with gray, glanced at the Lord of Netherworld and spoke directly.

He was aloof and withdrawn, and not enthusiastic about taking on apprentices.

Of course, he is only cold and aloof in personality; in many important matters, the Lord of Ice Peak has always done a very good job.

"Then, Jia Yi, the matter with Thor is settled. You can contact them yourselves; I don't think they'll refuse. We'll talk about Hong later."

Seeing that the four had made their decisions, the Lord of Chaos City spoke.

"Then there's the matter of Earth. The powerful figures from the other special forces on Earth should have received the news."

With the Flame God Clan leading the way, they'll probably all have their own agendas.

These geniuses who have emerged on Earth are all too dazzling!

Qin Mu goes without saying; his talent in genes and bloodlines is arguably the future of humanity.

Luo Feng also stood out early on and was accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Chaos City.

Now there is another Hong, who, as a domain lord, has passed through the twenty-first island of the Illusionary Realm.

There are also geniuses and prodigies like Thor and Jia Yi.

All of this demonstrates the uniqueness and power of Earth.

Which of those universe lords doesn't have a huge family?

After obtaining information about Earth from the founder of the giant axe, how could they not be extremely eager to possess it?

"What's there to discuss? Earth is Qin Mu's home, and Qin Mu is the emperor of the Huaxia Empire."

This Earth belongs to Qin Mu, and to my Virtual Universe Company!

Even if it rivals a supreme treasure from the pinnacle of the realm, so what?

The burly and tall Dragon Lord scoffed.

The human race includes eighteen hidden cosmic masters!

The Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena each have five people.

The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance has 3 members, the Cosmic First Bank has 3 members, and the Cosmic Galaxy Bank has 2 Cosmic Lords.

Humanity is divided into several smaller groups, and the virtual universe faction is naturally one of them.

The Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Ice Peak are among the top tiers of the Lords of the Universe. The Lord of Dragon Journey is not much weaker, and the Lord of Darkness is even more mysterious and unpredictable, comparable to the Lord of Chaos City.

"That's right! Even if Earth is a supreme treasure of the pinnacle realm, it still belongs to Qin Mu, and to my Virtual Universe Company!"

"It's none of anyone else's business! Our human race possesses more than one supreme treasure at the pinnacle of its domain, yet we haven't seen them share it."

Lord Youhou also spoke proudly.

The Lord of Chaos looked at the group. Although the Lord of Ice Peak and the Lord of Darkness did not speak, they clearly agreed with the words of the Lord of Dragon Journey and the Lord of Netherworld.

"Yes, that's what I think too! Qin Mu is the true master of Earth."

A smile appeared on the face of the Chaos City Lord.

In fact, he had already discussed this matter with the founder of the Giant Axe, and now he was also informing the four universe masters within the Virtual Universe Company that they had reached a consensus.

Qin Mu is not Luo Feng from the original timeline.

At that time, although Luo Feng was the ruler of Earth, how strong was he?

He's just a mere domain lord.

At that time, Luo Feng had only just begun to show some talent, so which of those big shots cared about a mere Domain Lord?

Upon learning the news, the Giant Axe Arena discovered that the Undying Venerable wanted to buy the Milky Way, and the Marquis-level Immortal God "Buna" also came to buy the Milky Way.

Unable to force a sale, the son of Venerable Fire Erosion, King Nightmare Candle, simply collected all the people on Earth into the World Ring.

They're threatening Luo Feng with the lives of all humanity on Earth!

Even Luo Feng's parents and relatives nearly died.

How arrogant and domineering!

Even so, what could Luo Feng do?

At that time, he was just a domain lord, and even if he unleashed his full power, he was only comparable to an ordinary immortal.

Even if powerful figures from the Virtual Universe Company, such as the Bloodthirsty King and the True Evolution King's third disciple, came to support them, the Nightmare Candle King still didn't care!

They even planned to kill Luo Feng directly and seize ownership of the Earth.

Although the Nine Swords Venerable's subordinates later protected Luo Feng, he was still forced to sign an unequal treaty.

For a mere 500 billion Hunyuan, they bought half of the Earth!

But Qin Mu is different!

In terms of pure strength, Behemoth alone is invincible and could be crowned king.

Not to mention the ever-growing Zerg legions on the extraterrestrial battlefields.

Of course, Qin Mu's strength is not important.

The most important thing is his talent in genes and bloodline!

Why did Qin Mu wait until the fourth generation of gene seed research was successful and the method of implantation and a hundredfold gene breakthrough was proposed before letting a few people show their talents?

All this is to elevate their status within the human race!

Those who are weak will be bullied!

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is an ironclad rule of survival that applies everywhere.

"In that case, I'll inform Qin Mu. How to handle this matter is up to him."

The Lord of Chaos City laughed.

The Lord of Dragons, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Ice Peaks, and the Lord of Netherworld all nodded without objection.

Although Qin Mu is only a realm lord.

In terms of status, it is no less than that of the Lord of the Universe.

Even in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord and the Giant Axe Founder, Qin Mu was more important than ordinary Universe Lords.
