Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 184 Reclaiming Earth, Lord of Reincarnation

"This is Zhou Yang?"

"To achieve the combat power of a universe master after only seven thousand years of cultivation is simply unbelievable. Most of the younger generation who graduated with him are still struggling at the domain lord level!"

"Our human race is blessed with outstanding talents and a prosperous destiny!"

"The Chaos lineage is growing stronger and stronger."

All the powerful human universe lords couldn't help but focus their gazes on Zhou Yang.

In recent centuries, the name of this genius from a younger generation has been repeatedly mentioned in their ears.

After all, Zhou Yang had killed nearly 8,000 alien kings with a single move and had also successfully passed the 21st level of the Primal Tongtian Mountain and Tongtian Bridge, both at the World Lord level. He was arguably the strongest genius in the history of the human race, and even these high-ranking universe lords paid attention to him.

However, even though they had some expectations for Zhou Yang's future achievements and believed that he was very likely to sit at the same table with them one day.

But when this day arrived so suddenly, they still felt it was incredible!

After all, Zhou Yang is just too young.

"My disciple has arrived. Come, sit next to your senior brother Youhou."

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and nodded at Zhou Yang, then pointed to an empty seat four people away from him.

On one side of this empty seat sat a young man dressed in dark blue armor, with an upward-curving horn on each ear and a vertical eye between his eyebrows, exuding an extremely fierce aura.

"Is this the ruler of Youhou?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but take a few more glances at the young man out of curiosity.

The original work describes this Lord Youhou very little, but upon closer examination, as the only disciple of the next generation of the Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Darkness to break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, his talent and comprehension are definitely top-notch.

When Zhou Yang looked over, the young man smiled at him in a friendly manner and said, "Junior brother, come over here."

"Yes, teacher, senior brother."

Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, but calmly met the scrutinizing gazes and sat down.

At the same time, he was also observing the other universe lords. After all, those present were already the highest level of the human race. He had only seen them in some information before and had never seen their true forms.

Seated below the Lord of Chaos City and between the Lord of Youhou were a pair of handsome, silver-haired middle-aged men with graying temples, a bald man shrouded in endless dark aura, and a powerful figure as imposing as a mountain, with a ferocious dragon tail extending from behind his armor.

These should be the three leaders of the Virtual Universe Company: the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Dragon Journey.

These three are undoubtedly exceptional among all the Lords of the Universe, especially the Lord of Darkness, who is almost on par with the Lord of Chaos City!

When Zhou Yang looked over, these people also turned their heads slightly and nodded to Zhou Yang, seemingly taking good care of their newly rising junior disciple.

As for the other universe lords, Zhou Yang wasn't exactly familiar with them. However, after his authority was upgraded, he made a point of checking the information and descriptions of each universe lord before being teleported to the Giant Axe Temple, and was able to match them up.

Among them, the ones that Zhou Yang paid the most attention to were the Void Gold Lord of the Giant Axe Arena and the Peng Gong Lord of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. These two were among the top in strength among all the Cosmic Lords, and were powerful beings who were extremely close to the Chaos City Lord!

Secondly, there are the two leaders of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the Lord of Huangjian, and the Lord of Qingdong, the First Bank of the Universe. Their strength is not to be underestimated, as they are able to become the leaders of their respective forces.

"My current level of divine power is far inferior to that of a true universe master. I estimate that my actual combat strength is only at the level of a most ordinary universe master, at most comparable to the Lord of Youhou."

Zhou Yang silently weighed his own strength against the various universe masters of the human race, only to find that in terms of direct combat power, he probably ranked at the bottom.

However, he wasn't entirely useless. "At the very least, my ability to escape and survive is top-notch. If I hide in the new universe, even the strongest beings in the universe probably won't be able to find me!"

Zhou Yang and the various universe lords sized each other up, and a brief silence fell over the atmosphere.

until--

"Whoosh!"

The space rippled slightly, and a burly giant with disheveled hair and a wild man-like appearance appeared in the main seat.

The strongest force of humanity at present, the only strongest being in the universe, the "Giant Axe Founder," has finally made his final appearance!

Immediately, the cosmic lords around the long table all became solemn, their expressions showing a hint of respect.

The savage giant first nodded to the various universe lords, then looked at Zhou Yang and laughed heartily, "Zhou Yang, this is our second meeting, isn't it? You've really given us a huge surprise!"

"Founder of the Giant Axe, thank you for your previous help!"

Zhou Yang also respectfully replied.

Back on Earth, on the day the Mountain Guest came to his door, the Giant Axe Founder also immediately appeared outside Earth. This made Zhou Yang realize that the Giant Axe Founder might have been watching over and protecting him during the period before his breakthrough, and Zhou Yang naturally felt indebted to him.

"Haha, I just happened to return to the original universe. I'm just keeping an eye on it casually. Don't worry about it too much."

The founder of the giant axe laughed heartily.

He looked around at the assembled universe lords and continued, "It's been a long time since our human race has witnessed such a scene. Haha, all the universe lords gathered together—this is truly a rare sight."

The 19 cosmic lords sitting on either side of the long table also smiled.

"We've gathered here today to welcome Zhou Yang to be one of us."

The Giant Axe Founder looked at Zhou Yang, "From today onwards, our human race has gained another Universe Lord. Zhou Yang possesses the strongest innate secret technique, and his ability to protect himself is among the best of all Universe Lords. This is our human race's good fortune."

Wow.

Most of the universe lords looked at Zhou Yang, and some even whispered among themselves.

The most powerful innate secret technique is a powerful method that many universe lords have not mastered.

Their ability to survive is among the best in the universe, making them the envy of all.

The cosmic sea is fraught with danger; even the Lord of the Universe faces imminent peril. Naturally, a powerful ability to preserve one's life is something every Lord of the Universe would envy and strive for.

They only knew that Zhou Yang had killed an avatar of a universe master, but they didn't know the details. Now, after hearing what the Giant Axe Founder said, they realized that Zhou Yang had such abilities, and they couldn't help but look at him with more respect.

"According to my human rules."

The founder of the giant axe smiled at Zhou Yang, "Everyone who becomes a master of the universe receives a treasure of the value of a top-tier weapon from their race. Zhou Yang, what are your requirements?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This is the difference between top-tier clans and some smaller forces. Even the Northern Frontier Alliance, although one of the nine super powers, has too many clans and too many powerful individuals.

Unless inviting some very powerful universe masters to join, the gifts prepared are enormous. Generally, when a universe master breaks through to become a universe master, the gifts received are very few. It mainly depends on the individual's efforts.

"Zhou Yang, speak freely."

The founder of the giant axe looked at Zhou Yang.

Many cosmic lords also looked at Zhou Yang.

"What treasure?"

Zhou Yang currently possesses the Reincarnation Divine Armor, a simplified set of supreme treasures with excellent attack and defense. He also acquired a top-tier supreme treasure spear and armor after killing the Lord of Annihilation, so he doesn't have much need for this level of supreme treasure for the time being.

He turned to look at the Giant Axe Founder in the main seat and solemnly said, "Giant Axe Founder, I do not seek any other treasures. I hope that the clan can return the ownership of the other half of my homeland, 'Earth,' to me. Earth is the origin of humankind and has a very special meaning for us."

"Earth."

The founder of the giant axe pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, what do you plan to do with those immigrants on Earth now?"

"Naturally, we should make them withdraw from Earth."

Zhou Yang said firmly.

"No!"

"Absolutely not."

"That's impossible."

Before the creator of the giant axe could respond, several cosmic lords spoke up, their voices containing a hint of anger.

Earth attracted attention when it was first discovered. Over the years, generations of extraterrestrial descendants have been born on Earth. After being nurtured by their respective races, these descendants have been found to have high comprehension and their character is easily cultivated. The probability of them becoming strong individuals or geniuses is extremely high!

While one's temperament may seem ordinary and unimportant at the beginning of cultivation, it becomes increasingly important as one progresses through the stages of cultivation, from the Universe level to the Domain Lord and World Lord.

These descendants born on Earth must have undergone some changes in their souls, making them much more likely to succeed in cultivating their mindset and character, and easily giving birth to a large number of geniuses and strong individuals.

If time goes by, Earth alone could easily give rise to a powerful branch of the human race, no less powerful than the Flame God Clan of yesteryear!

Compared to the Flame God Clan, the Earth lineage has stronger staying power!

More importantly, the alien immigrants on Earth today are basically descendants of these cosmic masters.

Zhou Yang's statement in front of them that he wanted all alien immigrants to evacuate from Earth naturally made them feel vaguely uneasy.

"Everyone!"

At this moment, the Lord of Chaos City spoke up, "When I signed the contract with Zhou Yang, I promised that when he was able to stand on equal footing with us, I would return the ownership of Earth to him. I also informed you of this back then."

"this"

Those opposing cosmic rulers were momentarily stunned.

The Lord of Chaos City did say those words, but they didn't take them to heart at the time and casually agreed.

Becoming the master of the universe is incredibly difficult. Back then, Zhou Yang was only at the domain lord level. Who would believe that a mere domain lord-level kid could actually grow all the way to becoming the master of the universe?

"But that Earth involves the interests of the entire race."

The Lord of the Desolate Mirror, whose entire body was covered in complex scales and who looked quite ferocious, spoke.

The Chaos City Lord immediately shouted, "You foolish fool, humans on Earth are also part of my human race!"

"."

The Lord of Desolation and the other lords of the universe remained silent.

They naturally didn't want to give up Earth's interests, but they had unintentionally agreed to the Chaos City Lord's promise, and these powerful figures cared about their reputation, so they were now finding it difficult to speak up.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I agree to this on behalf of the tribe."

At this moment, the founder of the giant axe, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke with a smile.

The founder of the giant axe held a transcendent position among humans. With his words spoken, and having already spoken to the Lord of Chaos City, the other universe lords remained silent, effectively acquiescing.

Only the Lord of the Desolate Mirror let out a cold snort, seemingly somewhat displeased.

"Chaos, you shall give the order: within one month, all extraterrestrial immigrants on Earth shall be evacuated, and all ownership of Earth shall be returned to Zhou Yang and humanity."

The founder of the giant axe looked at the Lord of Chaos City.

"Alright, I'll give the order."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded.

Zhou Yang had been observing silently ever since he spoke, and only now that things were finally settled did a smile appear on his face.

"Many thanks to the founder of Giant Axe, and many thanks to the teacher!"

"Um."

The creator of the giant axe nodded slightly, then asked with a smile, "Now that you are a master of the universe, have you decided what title you will use? Will you continue to use 'Lord of Reincarnation,' or do you have other ideas?"

"Name?"

Zhou Yang pondered for a moment.

When he became famous on the battlefield outside the realm, he was given the title of "King of Reincarnation" because he used the Fusion Secret Technique to create the phenomenon of time and space rotation.

Furthermore, by chance, he traveled to this world, which was like experiencing a reincarnation. He was quite fond of the word "reincarnation".

"Let us continue to use the title 'Lord of Reincarnation'!"

"Haha, very good! My human race's 19th Universe Lord shall be the Lord of Reincarnation!"
