Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 368 Preparing for the Assassination

"Human, you're just a realm lord!"

The first to detect Yang Wu's aura as a realm lord was none other than the Demon Lord of the Netherworld Clan.

The Lord of the Netherworld, being from a top-tier race like the demon race, might be somewhat tempted by the First Treasure, but he wouldn't place too much importance on it.

After all, although the two-faced ancestral god was extremely powerful in the primordial universe, in the end, he was just a universe master.

The most he could put in his treasure trove was a treasure equivalent to a top-tier supreme weapon; he wouldn't be willing to part with anything more valuable.

Treasures of this caliber are not even worth considering by the Demon Alliance.

What the Lord of the Netherworld cares about most is the human race's king-level powerhouse who unlocked the treasure. After all, being able to trigger the treasure of the first peak at the Immortal stage means that he must have some special opportunity.

Therefore, after the Lord of the Netherworld descended, he immediately began to investigate the secrets of Yang Wu through this space-time.

He had originally planned to find out the opportunity within that human before figuring out how to eliminate the threat.

Unexpectedly, this investigation uncovered something that filled him with immense shock and anger.

Because the human king-level expert in front of them was actually just a realm lord!

"A Realm Lord?" A bald man with ancient wings beside him said with great interest, "Hahaha... Interesting, interesting, let me check it out!"

This bald man was You Nan, the leader of the Thorn Ring Alliance. Although the Thorn Ring Alliance was not as strong as the nine major powers, it was still considered a second-tier power. In addition, You Nan was a protector of the Nine Netherworld Lord, so he was not afraid of the human race or the demon race.

"Haha, I never expected that a Realm Lord could possess such strength, relying on a top-tier soul-type treasure and a special auxiliary life form disguised as an immortal?"

"Let me see what else is special about him?"

"A fusion of a hundred drops of Beast God's blood? Not bad! That's quite an achievement for a human. And he's so young! Only..."

Suddenly, the Lord of Difficulties stopped abruptly, then continued in astonishment, "He's only cultivated for a few thousand years? Unbelievable!"

King Chaman, King Feijing, and the surrounding inheritors were completely stunned.

Realm Lord?

He was just a realm lord who had cultivated for thousands of years?

"After cultivating for thousands of years, he actually reached the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God?" King Barking Mirror was somewhat bewildered.

The fact that a Realm Lord possesses the strength to be crowned King is nothing in the eyes of the Mirror King. After all, throughout the endless ages, the Ancestral God Sect has produced some such Realm Lord-level geniuses, and even the Mirror King himself possessed the ultimate combat power to be crowned King when he was a Realm Lord.

How incredible that someone could become a fourth-level inheritor after only a few thousand years?

You should know that even King Barking Mirror himself, after cultivating for countless years, is still only at the third level of the Path of the Beast God!

"This..." King Chaman was also extremely shocked: "The Divine Might King is actually only a Realm Lord? And he has only cultivated for a few thousand years?"

"This...this is an unparalleled genius nurtured by which being within our human race?"

King Chaman did not consider the identity of King Shenwei to be Yang Wu.

Firstly, without the help of the Time Palace, Yang Wu would have only cultivated for a few hundred years by now; secondly, the last time King Chaman received news of Yang Wu was during the Realm Lord Qualification Battle held within the Virtual Universe Company several hundred years ago. Although Yang Wu was already exceptionally talented at that time, he was still far from reaching the level of the current Divine Might King, which was far beyond what a few hundred years could achieve.

At the same time, King Chaman also began to contact the powerful members of the human race within the Ancestral God Cult, and also transmitted this message back to his race through the virtual universe.

After all, both the discovery of the First Treasure and the exposure of the Divine King's identity are major events, and the clan should have adequate countermeasures.

……

Obtaining the first treasure and attracting so many cosmic lords to descend was indeed something Yang Wu hadn't expected.

However, Yang Wu was not at all surprised that his identity as the Realm Lord had been exposed.

With so many cosmic lords appearing, it would be strange if his identity could remain a secret.

However, Yang Wu was not too worried.

With the existence of the Heaven-Burning Mirror, even if a cosmic overlord attacks him, he would only lose one clone.

As for the Lord of the Universe taking action, he could certainly annihilate his soul.

However, violating the rules of the Ancestral God Sect means that even a Lord of the Universe can be killed.

If a cosmic overlord dies, he can be resurrected by reversing time, but if the ruler of the universe dies, then he is truly dead.

Therefore, no force would send a cosmic ruler to assassinate him!

"However, having my identity exposed by the Lord of the Netherworld isn't entirely a bad thing!" Yang Wu thought to himself. "I was just thinking about how to attract the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' attention, but now it seems I don't need to think of any other methods!"

Judging from Yang Wu's current talent, he is even more amazing than Luo Feng in the original work. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to obtain the genetic material of the World Lord level Blood Sea from the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

"Hahaha..." A burly figure with eight arms laughed loudly, "Lord of the Netherworld, this human at the Realm Lord level is truly a genius! He will definitely become a huge threat to your Demon Alliance in the future. In my opinion, you should kill him now! After all, you are a Guardian Beast God; I doubt the Ancestral God Sect will punish you!"

This person is the Divine Arm Master of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

The Northern Frontier Alliance is a super alliance formed by powerful ethnic groups, a large number of ordinary ethnic groups, and a vast number of weak ethnic groups.

These races were already dissatisfied with the human race and the demon race, who occupied the most core territory and massive resources of the universe. After uniting together, they invited the strongest lone universe member to be their leader, and now they have no goodwill towards the top races.

Therefore, for the Lord of the Divine Arm, whether the Lord of the Nether Demon killed the human genius at the level of a World Lord, or the Lord of the Nether Demon was punished or even killed by the Ancestral God Sect's experts, it was something he was happy to see. He was naturally happy to watch the show from the sidelines and could even incite some trouble.

"Yes, Lord of the Netherworld, killing him would eliminate a future threat to the Demon Alliance!"

Immediately, the other universe lords also laughed heartily, their voices echoing throughout the entire treasure land.

As for the other inheritors of the Beast God, they were all cautiously communicating through telepathy, speculating about the fate of the Divine Might King.

The Lord of the Netherworld's expression grew even more unpleasant as he listened to the mockery of the other universe lords.

After all, the stronger a person is, the more they value their reputation.

However, he didn't dare to actually kill that world lord-level human. After all, this was the Ancestral God Sect, and even the two patriarchs of the demon race probably wouldn't cause trouble here.

"Hmph!" The Lord of the Netherworld stared coldly at Yang Wu, an invisible pressure instantly enveloping him: "Human, who exactly are you?"

Yang Wu, however, paid no attention to the oppressive aura of the Lord of the Netherworld.

"You've got guts!" The Lord of the Netherworld's gaze was icy as he looked down at Yang Wu. "Human, you're dead!"

Thinking of this, the Lord of the Netherworld immediately transmitted his voice to the Swamp Erosion Venerable within the Demon Clan Alliance: "Swamp Erosion Venerable!"

Upon hearing the transmission from the Lord of the Netherworld, Venerable Swamp Erosion was startled, but still quickly replied, "Lord of the Netherworld!"

"Venerable Swamp Erosion, you shall immediately proceed to the area outside the treasure trove and wait. If this human realm lord dares to appear, you shall kill him immediately!" The voice of the Lord of the Netherworld was calm, yet brooked no doubt.

"This..." Venerable Swamp Erosion smiled bitterly to himself, and remained silent for a long time.

He never expected that simply sending a message to the Lord of the Netherworld would lead to such a thorny matter.

The Divine Might King, as a realm lord, cultivated to the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God in just a few thousand years. Such heaven-defying comprehension was something even the Swamp Erosion Venerable had never heard of.

It's easy to imagine how much the human race must value this unparalleled genius.

If he kills the other party, he will be hunted down by the super strong people of the human race forever!

"After your fall, I will reverse time and resurrect you! Everything you lost, my Demon Alliance will make up for!" Seeing the Swamp Erosion Venerable hesitate, the Lord of the Netherworld continued telepathically, "Furthermore, I can also arrange for your Mudfish Clan to be relocated to the Orlando Star Sector, where you can live forever under the protection of my Demon Clan!"

"This... Swamp Erosion obeys!" Upon hearing the promise from the Lord of the Netherworld, Swamp Erosion Venerable quickly agreed.

It wasn't that he wanted to offend the human race; it was simply that the Lord of the Dark Demons had given him too much! Especially the territory—something that billions of races in the universe dreamed of!

Besides, he was originally a member of the Demon Clan Alliance, and was naturally hostile to the human race. Even if he killed another human genius, it wouldn't matter.

With the protection of the demon race, he had no fear of the human race.

After all, the Demon Clan Alliance has two of the strongest beings in the universe, and apart from the Ancestral God Sect, no other force in the universe can compare to them.

"Very good!" the Lord of the Netherworld continued telepathically, "However, I need to remind you that it would be best to control that human with his soul. This way, the possibility of the human race reversing time and resurrecting him will be completely eliminated! Of course, if you cannot control him, kill him immediately!"

"While the Five-Colored Aurora Lake doesn't protect Bauhinia Island as much as the Treasure Land, you won't have much time. Hurry up and prepare!"

"Yes!" Venerable Swamp Erosion replied respectfully.

……

After arranging everything, seeing that Yang Wu still refused to bow his head, the Lord of the Netherworld sneered inwardly: "Human, cherish your last moments!"

Then, the Lord of the Dark Demons planned to leave directly, and then his true form went to the entrance of the treasure land to wait.

After all, once that human is killed, the treasure will definitely be lost, and he can simply collect it.

If you're lucky, you might even get the first treasure.

In this way, he will even have the resources to revive the Swamp Erosion Venerable, and he will also receive many rewards from the demon race.

But just as he was about to leave, a powerful voice rang out.

"Lord of the Demons!"

Yang Wu turned his head and saw that the one speaking was a huge, winding, coiled python.

"Lord of the Dark Serpent!" The Lord of the Netherworld nodded slightly.

"Netherworld Demons," the Lord of the Dark Serpent said calmly, "I don't care how your demon race and human race fight in the universe, but within the Ancestral God Sect, the demon race would better not go too far!"

These people, who were able to become the rulers of the universe, were naturally not fools, and could easily guess the thoughts of the Lord of the Netherworld.

The other universe lords were naturally happy to watch the spectacle, but the Dark Serpent Lord was not. If he wanted to increase his strength, he needed to obtain the supreme treasure in the hands of that human realm lord.

Directly snatching it wouldn't work, so the only option was to show some goodwill in order to gain the human's favor and thus successfully exchange for the treasure.

Once he obtains the treasure, the affairs between the human race and the demon race will naturally be none of his concern.

"Lord of the Dark Serpent, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!" the Lord of the Netherworld said in a low voice, frowning.

"Oh?" The Lord of the Dark Serpent stared at the Lord of the Netherworld and said in a low voice, "Netherworld Demon, this is the Ancestral God Sect, not your Demon Clan Alliance!"

"You should know that you yourself are a guardian beast god within the Ancestral God Sect. Are you going to lead the way in violating the rules of the Ancestral God Sect?"

In general, the Lord of the Dark Serpent is unwilling to offend the Lord of the Netherworld, after all, the other party is one of the super strong members of the demon race.

But now that it concerns the improvement of his strength, the Lord of the Dark Serpent can no longer care about so much.

Although both are guardian beast gods of the Ancestral God Sect, their relationship with the sect always varies in closeness and distance.

The Ancestral God Sect values ​​members like the Dark Serpent Lord who haven't joined other factions the most. As for the Nether Demon Lord, although he is also a guardian beast god, his primary allegiance is definitely to the Demon Alliance.

Therefore, even if the Lord of Dark Serpents and the Lord of Netherworld Demons were to actually clash, the Ancestral God Cult would side with the Lord of Dark Serpents.

"Hmph!" The Lord of the Netherworld sneered, saying, "Dark Serpent, I'd like to see if you intend to protect that human for the rest of your life!"

After the Lord of the Netherworld finished speaking, his avatar vanished completely into the treasure land.

Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the other universe lords also dissipated their avatars.

After all, this human was just a realm lord, and he must have received great attention from the human race. If they wanted to exchange for the first treasure, they would have to pay an equivalent price. There was no way they could gain any advantage, so they didn't stay any longer.

In the blink of an eye, the avatars of several universe lords around them had completely disappeared, leaving only Lord You Nan, who was closely related to Lord Dark Serpent.

"Dark Serpent!" The Lord of Difficulty flapped his bony wings slightly, frowning as he transmitted his voice, "Your conflict with that Lord of the Netherworld this time was quite unwise!"

"I know!" The Lord of the Dark Serpent simply nodded, without offering any further explanation.

Upon hearing this, Lord Younan paused for a moment, then seemed to understand. "Since you understand, I won't say anything more. Just handle it yourself. I'll be leaving now!"

After saying that, the figure of the Lord of Difficulty vanished instantly.

"Humans!" After the Lord of Difficulty left, the Lord of Dark Serpent looked directly at Yang Wu.

Although Yang Wuxin knew nothing about the Lord of the Dark Serpent, nor why the other party was helping him, he still bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Lord of the Dark Serpent!"

Of course, Yang Wu did not care about the safety of the alien race.

"Now that my identity has been exposed, I'm sure my community and teachers will have a plan!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "At worst, I'll just act under the protection of the clan's experts from now on. Anyway, with the simulator, I won't have to stay in this Ancestral God Sect for too long."

Sorry, I was planning to finish writing the whole story of this gathering, but something came up and I was delayed...
