Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 419 Supreme Conference

The virtual universe, a dimension with extremely high privileges.

The entire plane was shrouded in endless darkness, with only a few points of starlight in the distance.

In this space, there is an incredibly simple temple suspended in mid-air.

Inside the temple was a long stone table, with stone chairs on either side. At the head of the table was a single stone chair, where a savage giant exuding a sharp aura sat.

At the same time, figures kept appearing out of thin air on the stone chairs on both sides of the stone table. These were the Lords of the Universe, such as the Lord of Dragon Journey and the Lord of Void Gold.

Moments later, all the super beings of the human race had gathered.

"Everyone has arrived!" The savage giant on the main seat looked to both sides, while the other cosmic lords waited respectfully.

The giant axe-wielding creator before us is the greatest asset that has enabled the human race to rank among the top races, and one of the strongest beings in the universe.

"The reason I've gathered everyone here today is for the sake of Yang Wu, the super genius associated with the Virtual Universe Company and the ownership of Earth!"

The strongest among the giant axe-wielders stated directly, "Upon returning to the primordial universe, I went directly to Yang Wu's home planet, Earth, to investigate. I discovered that Earth had already been modified by one of the strongest lone warriors, the Mountain-Sitting Guest!"

"The Mountain-Sitting Guest is one of the oldest and most mysterious strongest beings in the vast universe, and his methods are extraordinary!"

The strongest among the giant axe-wielders looked at everyone and exclaimed, "After being transformed by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, Earth has become incredibly wondrous. Any life born on that Earth is influenced by the planet's invisible forces during its embryonic development, resulting in unique changes in a certain aspect of its soul, making it easier for it to comprehend and improve its mental state!"

"As everyone probably knows, while mental state doesn't play a significant role in the initial stages of cultivation, it becomes quite important as one's strength increases!"

"If one possesses a high enough moral character, the probability of becoming a strong person in the future will naturally be much higher!"

"As you all surely remember, the Flame God Clan, renowned for their physical evolution and immense strength, was nurtured and created under the guidance of the Mountain-Sitting Guest." A cold voice rang out: "Earth was also nurtured and created under the guidance of the Mountain-Sitting Guest; its value is undoubtedly extremely precious!"

"Moreover, Earth is not as mysterious as the Flame God Clan. Any life form with a soul, once conceived and born on Earth, will be affected and evolve! For the sake of the clan's strength, I suggest that the ownership of Earth be placed in the hands of the human race, and then that geniuses from our human race be sent there to settle down."

"As for Yang Wu and the other Earthlings, just give them some compensation!"

"Yes!" A cosmic lord nodded in agreement.

"I agree!"

"That's right! Those Earthlings aren't particularly talented, and staying on Earth is a waste of resources. It's better to exchange them for some benefits and leave! Earth, on the other hand, could very well bring countless geniuses to our human race, perhaps even rivaling a powerful race!"

"I agree!" One after another, the lords of the universe expressed their opinions.

"Gentlemen, my disciple Yang Wu!" The Dragon Lord, who had been silent until now, finally spoke: "He now possesses the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord!"

Wow!

As soon as the Lord of Dragons finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Long Xing, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Yes, how long has Yang Wu been cultivating? How could he possibly possess the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord?"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"It's fake, isn't it?"

"impossible."

No cosmic overlord would believe that Yang Wu, who had only cultivated for a few thousand years, could now possess the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord.

I doubt anyone in the entire universe would believe this news.

"Long Xing, are you telling the truth?" Even the Chaos City Lord, who was sitting not far from the Lord of Long Xing, couldn't help but ask.

The Lord of Dragons glanced around and nodded, saying, "Although I didn't personally test it, my disciple defeated the Venerable Fiery Erosion by using his Earthly form and the ultimate secret technique of a Cosmic Venerable. This is something that Void Gold can attest to!"

"Virtual Gold!" All the other universe lords turned their gazes toward the Lord of Virtual Gold.

The Lord of False Gold nodded seriously, then waved his hand, and a video of Yang Wu and Venerable Fiery fighting immediately appeared in mid-air.

"this……"

"I know the strength of that Fire-Eroding Venerable. Even a typical cosmic overlord would find it difficult to kill him. How could Yang Wu win by relying on his Earthling body?"

"Dragon's Flight!"

"Dragon's Flight!"

At the same time, two cosmic lords addressed the Lord of Dragons. They exchanged a glance, and the giant with three terrifying spikes and scales covering his body asked in a low voice, "You must have helped Yang Wu obtain the method of creating clones before he broke through to the Immortal God realm. I wonder what kind of clone he has created?"

This person was none other than the ruler of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the Lord of the Wasteland. At this moment, he spoke, posing the question that all the Cosmic Lords cared about most.

After all, the strong among the human race are inherently at a great disadvantage in terms of life gene level and divine body size. Therefore, although many cosmic venerables among the human race have created the ultimate secret techniques of cosmic venerables, those who can truly reach the strength of top cosmic overlords are extremely rare.

Under normal circumstances, the number of top cosmic overlords in a faction should be roughly the same as the number of cosmic lords.

The human race has nearly twenty universe lords, but the top universe overlords are only three: the Ancestral Tree Venerable, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, and the Star Prison Demon Lord.

Moreover, all three Ancestral Tree Venerables had extremely extraordinary opportunities and all of them gave birth to extremely powerful special life clones, which enabled them to possess the strength of top-tier cosmic overlords.

However, forces like the Ancestral God Cult, which gather a large number of special life forms, have a much larger number of top-tier cosmic overlords.

If Yang Wu were to cultivate a powerful clone, with his current strength, and with the assistance of a few precious treasures, he would immediately possess strength comparable to that of Venerable Ancestral Tree and others.

"Everyone!" The Lord of Dragons looked at the crowd and slowly said, "My disciple once fused with a Star Pearl at the cosmic level, and the clone he created was extremely powerful. You will all know this in time!"

"Star Beads?"

"What incredible courage! However, given Yang Wu's astonishing talent, it would be a great pity if he hadn't fused with the Star Pearl!"

Many cosmic lords began to discuss it.

"I am aware of this matter as well!" The strongest axe-wielder, seated at the head of the table, spoke again. "While Earth is important, Yang Wu's comprehension and strength are also crucial. Let's discuss how to handle this matter further!"

"Everyone!" the Lord of Void Gold said from the side, "As you all know, Yang Wu has grown to his current level in just a few thousand years, possessing the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord. He is truly radiant! He is even more talented than the Primordial Ancestor back then!"

"While Earth is important, if it creates a rift between our race and Yang Wu, then the losses outweigh the gains!"

Upon hearing this, the other universe lords all nodded in agreement.

Although the Earth has countless uses, for the human race, the exceptionally talented Yang Wu is clearly more important.

After all, even if Earth were to rival the Yan God Clan of yesteryear in the future, at most it would only produce one Yan Emperor.

But what about Yang Wu?

If one can attain the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord in just a few thousand years of cultivation, how long would it take to become a cosmic master? Moreover, even the probability of becoming the strongest being in the universe in the future is probably much higher than that of the many cosmic masters present here!

In the end, Earth is just a special treasure nurtured by the strongest being in the universe. But Yang Wu is a peerless figure who is very likely to become the strongest being in the universe, and even now his strength is enough to dominate the universe.

The various cosmic lords naturally know perfectly well how to choose between these two options!

"Yes!" A gentle voice suddenly rang out, and everyone looked over to see that the speaker was none other than Peng Gongzhi, the head of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

Although the Cosmic Galaxy Bank is the newest of the five major powers, with only two Cosmic Lords, Lord Peng Gong's strength is extremely powerful, enough to rank among the top five even in the entire human race!

All that could be heard was Master Peng speaking gently: "Back then, the Flame Emperor was also a powerful figure nurtured and guided by the Mountain-Sitting Guest. Although he had a capricious temper and even robbed his own clan's treasures, he shouldn't have ended up separating from his clan!"

"Yang Wu's talent is even more astonishing than that of the Flame Emperor. If this causes a rift between us, it would truly be a loss!"

While it's rare for powerful individuals to break away from a faction in the universe, there are some. For example, under certain special circumstances, some powerful individuals may leave their original alliances.

However, in the universe, only Emperor Yan is a powerful being who has broken away from his race and established himself independently.

Even when the powerful beings of the three races besieged the human race in the original work, and the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf and others were captured by the human race, they never left their original races when faced with the threat of death.

Therefore, when Emperor Yan led the Yan God Clan to break away from the human race, it truly caused immense harm to the human race.

This damage wasn't just reflected in strength, but also in other aspects!

"Hmph!" A cold voice suddenly rang out: "That Yan Emperor is inherently short-sighted and selfish!"

"Our human race is usually very tolerant of super-strong individuals, but he attacked his own kind for a supreme treasure, and afterwards he showed no remorse! Such an extremely selfish person is the greatest threat to our human race! It's a pity that he took the Yan God Clan with him!"

"Alright!" The strongest axe-wielder, seated at the head of the table, interrupted the group. "We need to stop talking about the Flame Emperor. What we need to discuss now is Yang Wu, and the issue of Earth's ownership!"

"I think we could discuss the issue of Earth's ownership directly with Yang Wu to see if we can send some of the universe's geniuses to Earth to have offspring!"

The Lord of the Wasteland Mercenary Alliance chuckled and said, "Of course, if Yang Wu is unwilling, we don't need to force him. After all, Earth is Yang Wu's home, and even if some things are wasted, it's his right!"

"Um!"

"I agree with what the Lord of Wasteland said!"

"Indeed, we should be more cautious. Everyone understands the arrogance of a super genius! The more extraordinary a person is, the more confident they are in themselves. If things are not handled well, it can easily provoke dissatisfaction!"

One by one, the rulers of the universes spoke.

Except for the Lord of Dragons, who remained silent, everyone else expressed their opinions, and all their thoughts were remarkably consistent.

While ownership of Earth is precious, Yang Wu's attitude is even more important. If Yang Wu truly insists, then even if they can't obtain partial ownership of Earth, it doesn't matter!

"Longxing, what do you think of this matter?" The strongest of the giant axe looked at the Lord of Longxing.

The Lord of Dragons nodded and said, "Since everyone agrees, let me handle the matter of Earth's ownership with Yang Wu. However... that's not the most important thing right now!"

"Hmm?" The other universe lords all looked at the Dragon Lord.

The Lord of Dragons said earnestly, "Everyone, Yang Wu exposed his strength this time because of the issue of Earth's ownership. Although few people know about it, it's possible that the alien races will discover it!"

"Given Yang Wu's terrifying cultivation speed, the other three top-tier clans will likely pay a heavy price to suppress him once they find out!"

"Yes!" The Lord of the Dragon's Journey responded immediately after he finished speaking.

"Yang Wu's rate of progress is so incredible that even we humans find it utterly phenomenal. If other alien races were to discover this, aside from the other three top races, other major powers might also take action!"

"That's right!" the other universe lords echoed.

If Yang Wu is only likely to become a universe master, the forces other than the other three top races can at most just watch the show and sit back and watch the tigers fight.

But now Yang Wu has only cultivated for a few thousand years and has already possessed the strength of a top-tier universe overlord. Such talent is simply too heaven-defying. He has a very high chance of becoming the strongest in the universe.

In this way, once the human race gains another strongest being in the universe, they will inevitably try to expand their territory, which may then affect other forces.

With everyone's support, the Dragon Lord continued, "Given Yang Wu's current strength, the other three major races might just send their strongest beings in the universe to attack! That would seriously jeopardize Yang Wu's safety. We must think this through carefully!"

"Hmph, those despicable alien races!" The Lord of the Desolate Realm sneered, a faint murderous aura emanating from him. "Once Yang Wu becomes the Lord of the Universe, we will definitely launch a decisive battle on that extraterritorial battlefield and seize some territory from the alien races!"

Generally speaking, a large-scale decisive battle will only occur once every thousand eras on the extraterritorial battlefield.

However, if something celebratory happens, such as the birth of a ruler of the universe, a great battle will occasionally be launched to seize a portion of the alien race's territory.

Of course, the appearance of a universe master does not have a significant impact on the strength of the four peak races, so even if they compete for territory, it will not have much impact and can only be considered better than nothing.

Only when a powerful being like the strongest in the universe appears will there be significant changes in the territory.

"In my opinion!" suggested one of the universe masters, "we should let Yang Wu stay in the initial universe until he becomes a universe master, and then leave. This way, his safety will be greatly guaranteed!"

"I disagree!" Peng Gong, the other leader, retorted. "Those who reach Yang Wu's level must hone their skills in battle. Which of us universe lords achieved our status through solitude and hard work?"

"I believe that since Yang Wu has the ability to create clones, what he fears most is undoubtedly the soul attack of the strongest being in the universe."

"We can easily prepare a soul-related treasure for him to guard his soul! That way, even if he encounters a soul attack from the strongest being in the universe, he can calmly self-destruct immediately!"

"right!"

"Indeed! Soul-type treasures are precious, but they would be of great use to Yang Wu!"

"I agree!"

In an instant, many universe lords began to consider Yang Wu's safety.

"Very well!" said the strongest axe-wielder at the head of the table. "I'll leave both of these matters to you, Long Xing! No matter what, you must ensure Yang Wu's safety!"

"Haha, Long Xing, I'll have to trouble you with this!"

"Dragon's journey won't be troublesome at all! Once Yang Wu becomes the Lord of the Universe, he'll have a Lord of the Universe as his disciple, just like Darkness did!"

"Haha..." The surrounding cosmic lords burst into laughter.
