Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 553 The Three Clans' Response

The primordial universe was a desolate expanse of stars.

Just as Yang Wu, Luo Feng, and the strongest of the giant axe returned to the primordial universe, four thoughts pierced through the endless space and descended upon this starry sky, vaguely revealing four majestic figures, located in three different directions.

One of them was breathtakingly beautiful, with a slender figure faintly visible, surrounded by endless light. Just seeing this figure was enough to captivate even a cosmic venerable. It was none other than the Zerg Queen.

In another location, a huge oval-shaped black sphere was suspended, which was the father god of the mechanical race.

As for the last location, there was a giant silver-white serpent with countless snake shadows floating around it, and a strange beast whose surrounding spacetime was completely distorted and covered with a serrated shell. These two were the two strongest beings in the universe of the demon race, the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor.

When the inheritance of Duan Donghe was born, it was a grand event for the entire universe. Therefore, the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race all sent their geniuses and strongmen to the Tomb Ship to try to receive the inheritance.

Of course, the Machine Race itself has no soul; it can only send some of its vassal forces to receive the inheritance.

However, since they were in the primitive universe era, the three races did not face the crisis of their lifespan being limited, so they did not send their true elites to the tomb ship to receive the inheritance.

It should be noted that in the original universe, there were only a few dozen universe masters who went to receive the inheritance of Duan Donghe.

Among them, the Zerg had the fewest Universe Lords, sending only one, while the Demon Race had the most Universe Lords among the four peak races, sending a total of three.

However, one of the Demon Race's Universe Lords perished in the Life and Death Corridor before the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau, so in the end, only four Universe Lords from the three races met the first level of the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau's assessment requirements.

However, these four candidates had only met the most basic requirements for receiving the final inheritance. In Duan Donghe's eyes, there was not a single hope of obtaining the final inheritance.

Once they fail, even having an avatar will not save them. Therefore, before receiving the final inheritance, all three cosmic lords of the demon race gave up, leaving only a few cosmic venerables and immortal gods to receive the final inheritance.

Of course, although the four top powers are extremely powerful in the primordial universe, they are nothing compared to the vast universe and the three eras of reincarnation.

Of those who reached the first level during the exorcism of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, only three humans besides Luo Feng were able to do so: Lord Peng Gong, Venerable Ancestral Tree, and Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse. However, due to Luo Feng's influence, all three left the Tomb Ship when receiving the final inheritance.

Aside from the four Universe Lords, only three Universe Venerables from the three demon race factions reached the first level of the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau. Two of them were from the demon race, one from the insect race, and the mechanical race was the most unlucky, with none of them.

Of course, no matter how many experts they had reached the first level of the Rhinoceros King's Bureau, they would be completely useless in front of Luo Feng, a candidate who had reached the third level.

"Presumably, the Awakening True God of the Purple Moon Holy Land has already informed both of you!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor's voice carried a deep sense of powerlessness: "I never imagined that the inheritance of the Broken East River would actually fall into the hands of that human race's Galactic Lord!"

In fact, after the sudden death of the geniuses within their clans who had received the Duan Donghe inheritance, both the Zerg and the Demon Clan already knew that someone else had obtained the Duan Donghe inheritance.

Although Luo Feng had the greatest advantage when they were dealing with the Rhinoceros Emperor, they still hoped that the human race would not be able to obtain the inheritance of the Broken East River.

Moreover, the demon race and the insect race had also tried to seize the inheritance of Duan Donghe in the Flame Ice Domain. However, although their strength was top-notch in the original universe, in the vast universe, even the demon race, which had two of the strongest beings in the universe, was just ordinary.

Unexpectedly, news suddenly came from the Purple Moon Holy Land that was devastating for all three factions of the Zerg.

"Indeed! The two holy lands of the Cosmic Sea, the three great eras of reincarnation, how many geniuses and powerful figures are there? Back then, didn't the Azure Blood Venerable of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land also reach the third level? Who could have imagined that the Galaxy Lord would actually have the last laugh!"

The Zerg Queen's voice was extremely low, even her usual allure had vanished: "And what's even more terrifying is that Time Lord. According to the Awakened True God, that Time Lord single-handedly killed four of the universe's strongest beings while being besieged by dozens!"

"Even the Eight Desolate Demon Lord, who possessed the most powerful and precious armor, was killed by that Lord of Time!"

At this point, the Zerg Queen couldn't help but glance at the Dream Demon Ancestor again.

It should be noted that the Dream Demon Ancestor possessed an extremely powerful and precious armor.

With the defensive capabilities of the supreme treasure armor, no one in the cosmic sea could do anything to it. It was only when the primordial ancestor was not yet suppressed by the origin of the primordial universe that he was able to make it fearful with his heaven-defying soul attack.

But now that Yang Wu has appeared, it can be said that, apart from the Zerg Queen who possesses the most powerful treasure of the palace type, if the other strongest beings in the universe among the three races were to encounter the Lord of Time in the cosmic sea, they would probably only perish.

"Indeed!" the Dream Demon Ancestor exclaimed. "Our demon race has long been aware of the terrifying power of that Time Lord, and has launched several assassination attempts against him. Even our demon race's Lord of the Heavenly Wolf was once suppressed by him!"

"But who would have thought that the opponent's strength would grow at such a terrifying rate? How long has it been? How could the Lord of Time have already possessed such unbelievable strength? Even that madman, the Primordial Ancestor, couldn't compare!"

"Excellent!" The deep voice of the Mechanical Father God echoed from within the black oval sphere: "The most important point is that the Lord of Time is currently only a cosmic ruler. Once he becomes the true strongest being in the universe, his power will be terrifying!"

Upon hearing this, the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Tremor Demon Ancestor, and the Zerg Queen all nodded in agreement.

After all, they are the strongest beings in the universe, so they are naturally well aware that the strength of a universe master will increase dramatically after breaking through to become the strongest being in the universe.

Given Yang Wu's current terrifying power, even Meng Yaozu and others cannot imagine his strength after he becomes the strongest being in the universe.

"Regardless of the circumstances, given the animosity between our three races and the human race, it's best if we refrain from venturing into the cosmic sea for the time being!"

The Zerg Queen said softly, "Otherwise, if we were to encounter the Time Lord, he probably wouldn't let us off so easily!"

Although the Zerg Queen is protected by a palace-type supreme treasure, making her relatively safe, she no longer wants to venture into the cosmic ocean.

After all, she is currently the only strongest being in the universe among the Zerg. If she were to fall, the Zerg's strength would be greatly weakened.

"By the way!" the Zerg Queen asked again, "Mechanical, are you still in the cosmic ocean?"

When the various forces of the primordial universe besieged Lord Nagao, the Machine Race did not send its own universe lord. Therefore, the Zerg Queen naturally knew that the Machine Race's father god was not in the primordial universe.

If Yang Wu were a powerful figure from the Holy Land Universe or one of the other two great eras of reincarnation, the Zerg Queen would be more than happy to see the Machine Race Father God killed by him in the cosmic sea.

However, Yang Wu is a powerful figure within the human race. For the current Zerg Queen, she can only temporarily set aside the hatred between the three races and work together to deal with the impending threat from the human race.

"Upon receiving the message from that Awakened True God, I immediately returned to the Primal Universe and have now returned to my Mechanical Race's territory!"

The voice of the Machine God Father carried a hint of relief.

You must understand that he doesn't possess any supreme treasures to protect him, and his ability to survive is even inferior to that of the Shadow Demon Lord. If he were to encounter that Lord of Time in the cosmic sea, given the hatred accumulated between the mechanical race and the human race over countless years, coupled with the allure of the mechanical race's vast territory to the human race, he would truly be doomed. Even if he wanted to sacrifice a supreme treasure to save his life, it would be impossible!

The Dream Demon Ancestor swung its massive serpent tail and said in a deep voice, "That Awakening True God even wants us to join forces against the human race in the primordial universe, and is even willing to release the ancient civilization heritage of the Purple Moon Holy Land as a lure. That's truly a grand scheme!"

"Indeed!" Dream Demon Ancestor nodded in agreement, "I really don't know how the Lord of Time managed to provoke the Purple Moon Holy Land, causing them to expend such a great deal of effort to target him!"

"However, given the strength of that Time Lord, it's likely that powerful figures from the Purple Moon Holy Land will rarely appear in the Cosmic Sea in the future!"

"These matters are not of immediate concern to any of the three parties involved!"

The Mechanical Father God spoke again in a deep voice: "The most important thing for us now is to figure out what to do next. Should we cooperate with the Purple Moon Holy Land to target the human race in this primordial universe, or should we compromise with the human race?"

Upon hearing this, the four strongest beings from the three races fell silent for a moment!

After a moment, the Zerg Queen finally spoke again: "That True God of Awakening contacted us, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives!"

"And most importantly, the power of that Time Lord was simply too terrifying. Who knows how high he might reach in the future?"

"Although we're relatively safe hiding in the primordial universe right now, are we going to stay there forever? When this cycle of reincarnation ends, won't we have to go out into the cosmic ocean to survive?"

"Moreover, given the power of that Time Lord, they might actually pose a threat to our small universe! Therefore, I think it's better for us to compromise with the human race!"

"Compromise with the human race?" The Dream Demon Ancestor frowned slightly, then said in a deep voice, "What about the territories of our three races? Are we just going to hand them over to the human race?"

"Now that the human race has greatly increased in strength, it is natural for them to expand their territory!"

The Zerg Queen looked at the Dream Demon Ancestor: "After Zhenjiao became the strongest in the universe, didn't your Demon Race also expand its territory? You even seized several star sectors from my Zerg Race!"

"Now that the human race has a Time Lord, they will surely expand their territory on a massive scale as well."

"However, we are still the strongest in the universe. If we voluntarily relinquish some of our core territory, the human race probably won't target us too much!"

"Voluntarily relinquishing their core territory?" The Machine Race Father God frowned deeply.

It should be noted that the combined territories occupied by the four top races do not even account for one percent of the entire primordial universe, yet they are the most core territories, gathering a large amount of the essence of the primordial universe.

Even the two top races, the Prison Clan and the Crystal Clan, cannot compare with the territory occupied by the four top races.

Before Yang Wu rose to power, even the territory of a single universe kingdom was enough to ignite a major war between the four most powerful races.

Asking them to voluntarily relinquish part of their core territory is naturally something that makes the Machine God extremely hesitant.

"This is all we can do now!" the Zerg Queen continued. "Otherwise, the four of us will never be able to venture into the cosmic ocean again."

"However, if we voluntarily cede some territory, the human race should stop targeting our three races. As for the lost territory, we can simply join forces to continue expanding outwards. Do you think those ordinary and powerful races would dare to resist?"

"It seems that this is the only way now!"

After speaking, the Mechanical Father God couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I wonder when my Mechanical Race will produce a figure as dazzling as that Lord of Time? Even just the emergence of a new strongest being in the universe would be wonderful!"

"But what we're giving up are the most core territories in the original universe!" The Dream Demon Ancestor's face was filled with deep resentment.

It should be noted that among the four most powerful races today, the demon race has the largest territory.

This means that if the demon race is to compromise with the human race, it will also have to give up more territory. How could the Dream Demon Ancestor be willing to do that?

However, the Zerg and the Machine Race have reached a consensus that even if the Demon Race wants to target the human race again, it will be unable to fight alone.

Thinking of this, the Dream Demon Ancestor could only helplessly accept this reality.

"Don't worry!" Zhen Yaozu secretly transmitted his voice to Meng Yaozu, "Wasn't that madman Yuan incredibly powerful back then? In the end, wasn't he still suppressed by the original will of the universe?"

"While the Lord of Time possesses even greater strength and talent, he might still incur the primordial will of the universe!"

"Our current compromise with that human race is merely a temporary measure! Sooner or later, the territory of our demon race will reclaim its hold!"

Zhen Yaozu forgot that the current territory of the demon race was mostly seized from other races in the original universe.

The law of the jungle prevails; that's the survival rule of the universe!

Finally, the leaders of the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race came up with a suitable countermeasure.

That means temporarily retreating from the onslaught of the human race, and as for the losses, they will naturally be recovered from other races.

After discussing their countermeasures, the Dream Demon Ancestor and the others vanished into thin air.

After they returned to their clan, they began to recall the clan's powerful members who were still venturing into the cosmic sea.

Fortunately, the Primordial Star is currently being opened, making it relatively easy for the powerful members of the three races to obtain precious treasures.
