Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 188 The Supreme Council, announced

There are two types of supreme meetings of the human race. One type is a large-scale supreme meeting in which all cosmic venerables, all cosmic lords, and the strongest beings in the universe participate.

Such large-scale summits are usually for major events, or events that affect the interests of the cosmic venerables.

Other important events involving the race are generally discussed internally by the highest levels of the race, with only the Lord of the Universe and the strongest being in the universe participating. Because it is convened by the founder of the Giant Axe, it is also known as the "Giant Axe Conference".

This is the first large-scale, top-level meeting to be held.

The Temple of the Gods on the Mountain of Gods in the virtual universe is the venue for the Supreme Council. It is only opened on the day the Supreme Council is held, and is closed at other times.

One after another, powerful human figures appeared, and soon more than a thousand cosmic venerables had gathered here, their numbers growing ever larger.

The gathering at Mount Pantheon is divided into two locations. One location is filled with four-star, five-star, and six-star powerhouses, generally possessing the combat strength of a "Primary Universe Venerable," "Middle Universe Venerable," or "High Universe Venerable."

Another place... is where the Seven Star Overlords and Palace Masters gather, which is also the gathering place of the Universe Overlords and Universe Lords.

When Zhou Yang appeared, there were already quite a few people at the gathering place for the universe overlords and universe masters, including several universe masters.

The moment Zhou Yang appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the others.

"Lord of Reincarnation".

Some of the cosmic overlords bowed slightly to show their respect.

The cosmic lords, on the other hand, were much more casual.

"Zhou Yang is here."

"Reincarnation".

"Haha, you haven't shown up for a long time since the last meeting."

"I heard they've been researching the art of treasure refining lately."

The lords of the universe greeted him warmly.

"Just doing some casual research."

Zhou Yang chatted with them casually.

As time passed, more and more powerful beings gathered on Mount Gods, gradually drawing near the time when the Supreme Council would begin.

When the Giant Axe Founder, the Chaos City Lord, the Void Gold Lord, and others appeared together, a rumbling sound suddenly resounded in the sky above the Divine Mountain.

Zhou Yang looked up and saw a majestic temple floating in the clouds above—the very place where the meeting was being held, the Temple of the Gods. At that moment, the two large doors of the Temple of the Gods, radiating dazzling golden light, were slowly opening.

"Human warriors, gather!"

A magnificent sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Whoosh! All the powerful figures on Mount Pantheon vanished instantly, teleported into the Pantheon.

"Rumble..."

The two large doors, which shone with golden light throughout the space, suddenly slammed shut.

……

Inside the Pantheon, there was an enormous, exquisitely carved round table surrounded by a dense array of thrones.

The densely packed thrones are divided into five levels.

2米宽、10米宽、50米宽、200米宽、1000米宽，分别对应着宇宙初等尊者、宇宙中等尊者、宇宙高等尊者、宇宙霸主以及站在人族最巅峰的一位位宇宙之主和宇宙最强者。

At the highest point, on the majestic thrones, Zhou Yang and other cosmic lords sat high above, looking down upon all other powerful humans.

"Junior brother, what are your impressions of attending this top-level meeting for the first time?"

Sitting next to Zhou Yang was the Lord of Youhou, who was also from the same lineage as the Virtual Universe Company.

"It's alright."

Zhou Yang laughed and said, "It just seems like there aren't many Universe Venerables from our human race."

He was at the highest point, so he had a clear view of everything below.

To his surprise, the total number of all the cosmic overlords and cosmic venerables below was only a few thousand, less than ten thousand.

This is a cosmic sage of the entire human race, yet he only has this much, which is completely different from what he expected.

He remembered that in the original story, Luo Feng killed more than 6000 Universe Venerables from the three alien races in the battle on the Primordial Star with his strongest secret technique, which was almost as many as all the Universe Venerables in the entire human race!

Of course, those present now are only the cosmic venerables within the human race. If all the alien races of the entire Hong Alliance are included, the number would be many times greater.

"Haha, you mean this?"

Lord Youhou laughed heartily, "There's nothing we can do. Most of our human race has limited life genes and talents. Compared to races like the demon race with unique talents, our advancement speed is slower, and the number of Venerables is indeed smaller. However, although the number is small, our human Venerables, due to their limited talents, can only put more effort into the research of secret techniques, so their combat power is extremely strong."

"So that's how it is."

Zhou Yang nodded.

While they chatted idly, the other cosmic lords on the dozen or so majestic thrones were also casually conversing.

Zhou Yang listened for a while, and the most frequently mentioned topic was still about Luo Feng.

"Chaos, your favoritism towards Luo Feng seems to have displeased quite a few Universe Venerables."

"It's not surprising that they're dissatisfied. A soul-type treasure! Chaos, your disciple Guiyi... he's also a cosmic overlord, he's followed you for years, yet he doesn't seem to have any soul-type treasures. He didn't get one, but Luo Feng, who was just a realm lord back then, did... I'm afraid even Venerable Guiyi will feel some resentment."

"What a load of rubbish!"

"To bestow treasures upon them is an act of kindness! To withhold them is only right! Want supreme treasures? Let them fight for them themselves, hmph... Whom Chaos bestows soul-type supreme treasures upon is Chaos's own doing. No one has the right to say who should receive them."

"In my opinion, we should make an example of them. Those who are jumping the highest should be locked up in the prison of the primordial universe."

"That's going too far. We can't just stop the Venerables from talking about it. They didn't rob or kill anyone, so they shouldn't be imprisoned in the Venerable Prison."

From the dozen or so majestic divine thrones in the hazy mist, each of them spoke, discussing how Luo Feng possessed many supreme treasures even when he was a World Lord, which aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of many human universe venerables.

Zhou Yang looked down and immediately saw Luo Feng sitting in the "Universe Intermediate Venerable" area.

At this moment, many of the cosmic venerables sitting in the same area as him frequently observed him, and many of them showed a hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Despite being scrutinized by so many eyes, Luo Feng remained calm and composed, his mind completely unmoved.

"It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality. This applies to the strongest group of people at the pinnacle of this endless universe as well. But what you don't know is that this is all Luo Feng's own good fortune."

Zhou Yang sighed inwardly.

"Gentlemen."

At this moment, the Chaos City Lord on the golden throne smiled and said, "Although I dote on this disciple, everyone knows what I do. I would never bestow a soul-type treasure upon Luo Feng when he is only a World Lord. Apart from the 'Wings of Killing Wu' which I bestowed upon him, all the others were obtained by his own fortuitous encounters."

"what?"

"A treasure he obtained himself?"

"No wonder... I was puzzled when I heard that Chaos bestowed three supreme treasures upon Luo Feng. Chaos isn't that kind of person. Now I understand."

Amidst the dozen or so divine thrones, a cacophony of conversations filled the air.

At this moment, Zhou Yang took the opportunity to transmit his plan to the Lord of Chaos City.

"Oh? You can actually refine a treasure? You've given your master a pleasant surprise."

The Lord of Chaos City was slightly taken aback, but nodded and said, "What you're talking about isn't anything important. I'll just mention it to you later."

"Thank you, teacher."

Zhou Yang said respectfully, and then sat on the throne and waited silently.

A moment later—

"Everyone!"

The Lord of Chaos's gentle yet majestic voice rang out, and the entire Pantheon fell silent.

Subsequently, the Lord of Chaos City directly announced the theme of this Supreme Conference—the Primal Star is about to open!

"The Primal Star is activated?"

"Haha, the Primordial Star is about to open! That's fantastic! This is the easiest place in the primordial universe to obtain the greatest treasures!"

"It's finally open again."

One by one, the cosmic venerables were surprised, excited, and some, like Luo Feng, who was a newly promoted venerable, had some doubts and confusion.

However, the information about the Primordial Star was quickly sent out, and these newly promoted Venerables were also shocked.

The original stars, a total of 10081!

According to the messages that have been transmitted since the birth of the universe, these 10081 primordial stars are the ones that surround the "origin of the universe," making them the closest places to the "origin of the universe" in the entire universe.

The 10081 primordial stars also harbor countless treasures, as well as numerous crises.

There are 10081 passages leading to the original star, but these tens of thousands of passages are usually closed and will only open once every extremely long period of time.

Each opening lasts for one thousand epochs! It will close after one thousand epochs... All powerful individuals who enter must exit before it closes, or they will surely perish!

No matter what secret techniques such as lingering in a clone or lingering in an incarnation are used, they are all ineffective. As long as one remains on the original star when the seal is closed... one will surely perish!

No exceptions!

This is the most mysterious place in the universe! No other place can surpass it.

The 10081 primordial stars are fraught with danger, but they also contain countless treasures. The most valuable treasures are not worth mentioning, and the most precious treasures appear frequently!

The super beings of billions of races in the universe will engage in a frenzied battle here, vying for treasures for their respective races! Every time it opens, it is a terrible massacre... Every time it opens, a cosmic lord will fall within it.

It was bloody and cruel, but also an unimaginable stroke of luck!

If you're lucky enough to find one or two powerful treasures that suit you, you can instantly boost your strength to a whole new level!

Even if you can't use it yourself, you can contribute it to your clan to obtain a large number of Treasure Points and Supreme Treasure Points, which can then be exchanged for the treasures you need.

It can be said that the opening of the Primordial Star has a fatal attraction for all Venerables who yearn for power!

However, some of the venerable ones were filled with regret and conflict.

"Alas, I've only just broken through to the Venerable realm, my strength is a bit lacking, so I'm destined to miss out on this Primal Star event."

"As a member of the 'Lei Luo Clan,' I am not afraid of even encountering a high-level Venerable with my talent for mental attacks. However, my divine body defense is somewhat weak. If only I had a supreme treasure armor."

"Unfortunately, I'm still short of Treasure Points. With just over a thousand more, I could exchange for a Supreme Treasure."

"After endless years of torment, my chance to turn things around has finally arrived! My dear friends, could you please help me acquire some priceless treasures? I will repay you 1.5 times the amount once I am released."

"Just shut up already and pay back what you owed first."

Given the rarity of the opportunity, all the cosmic venerables naturally yearned for the primordial star.

However, after the Primordial Star was opened, powerful beings from all races gathered and fought constantly, creating a perilous situation that deterred many who were slightly weaker.

The best way to quickly improve one's strength in a short period of time is to possess a treasure that suits oneself.

However, the treasures were extremely rare, and with the opening of the Primordial Star, it was very difficult for them to ask others to borrow them.

They need it themselves, who would lend it to you?

Just then, the majestic voice of the Chaos City Lord resounded once again above the towering Pantheon.

"Besides the activation of the Primordial Star, there is one more thing to announce."

The Chaos City Lord's voice boomed, "In order to enhance the strength of my human race's Venerables, during the opening of the Primordial Star, if you have enough supreme treasure materials, you can go to the Temple of the Lord of Reincarnation. The Lord of Reincarnation will forge them into supreme treasures for you free of charge, but only at the level of ordinary supreme treasures."
