Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 220 has two key elements: Luo Feng's determination.

"Everyone!"

"Every time the Supreme Council is convened, it is because of a major event that could affect the entire community."

The Lord of Chaos's voice was majestic and resounded throughout the entire Mountain of Gods; no one dared to utter a sound to disturb him.

"There are two major issues at this Supreme Conference. The meetings have been more frequent recently than before, for reasons that everyone should know. One of these issues is related to the changing situation on the extraterritorial battlefield, while the other concerns the upcoming opening of the Primal Star."

The cosmic venerables listened quietly, and many of them showed expressions of shock when they heard that the Primordial Star was about to be opened.

However, some newly promoted Universe Venerables showed expressions of confusion.

The Lord of Chaos noticed the doubts of these cosmic venerables and casually introduced the existence of the Primordial Star, letting them know that the so-called Primordial Star was actually a "resource contest point" that was temporarily opened and had abundant resources.

The primordial star's existence lasted for a thousand epochs, or ten million years, which was naturally an incredibly short time for a cosmic sovereign.

As they perused the information about the Primordial Star and saw the details of its treasures, many cosmic venerables showed interest.

The Lord of Chaos then began to summarize the situation of the extraterritorial battlefield.

"The battlefields outside the region have undergone significant changes compared to 10,000 years ago."

"In light of the emergence of the Primal Star, our Hongmeng has signed an agreement with the Zerg and the Prison Clan to directly divide up a portion of the war zone and cease fighting."

The Lord of Chaos City explained according to the diagram.

The cosmic venerables frowned at first, then suddenly understood.

As the war expanded, the number of war zones has more than doubled in the last tens of thousands of years.

The more war zones there are, the more powerful members and soldiers each clan needs to appoint to oversee them.

Unlike the extraterritorial battlefields where the focus is more on training troops during normal times, the struggle for the territory of the demon race and the mechanical race is a truly fierce and brutal war!

The Lord of the Universe wouldn't need to use his trump card, but the Venerable of the Universe has no such concerns.

Hundreds of battlefields mean that at least several hundred Universe Venerables from each race are fighting!

Even now, the seven top powers each have only a few thousand Universe Venerables.

At least one-tenth of the elite combat force participated in the war. The conflict between the three races was a battle involving one or two thousand, or even three thousand, universe venerables.

In the next thousand epochs after the opening of the Primal Star, if the three races continue to be tied up with too much of their combat power in the wars in the outer domains, they will be handing over the Primal Star to other forces for nothing.

Maintaining the existing pattern and intensity of the struggle is a lose-lose-lose situation.

Therefore, the three races tacitly agreed to first divide up some of the peripheral, less valuable war zones.

After this distribution of benefits, the number of war zones decreased sharply. Although it was still not as many as the dozen or so war zones before the fall of the Machine Race Father God, it was still maintained at a number of one hundred war zones.

One hundred war zones, while still involving a lot of resources, wouldn't be enough to make the three races completely abandon the original planet.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​the cosmic venerables.

The true leaders of humanity, the masters of the universe, have different ideas.

Unlike in the past, they don't seem to value this battle for the Primordial Star as much as they do now.

Because of the legacy of the Broken East River, given enough time, humanity will almost certainly win the final victory in the war against the original universe's rulers.

Compared to the past, now every time a Universe Venerable falls, it could mean one less future Universe Lord!

However, deliberately refusing to participate would be contrary to normal behavior and could easily alert hostile forces to the abnormality.

In the past tens of thousands of years, no new universe masters have emerged among humankind, but many universe venerables have appeared. However, these universe venerables have been temporarily hidden away, and even their own people do not know that so many universe venerables have suddenly appeared in the Hong Alliance. They have not been allowed to join the extraterritorial battlefield to play a decisive role. This is the reason why.

Humans do not want to show abnormalities so early.

However, as a result, many cosmic masters who would not have otherwise perished were killed.

Every fallen soldier caused the leaders of the human races, including the Lord of Chaos City, great sorrow.

Good thing...

The Lord of Chaos City glanced at Hunzhen discreetly.

Fortunately, this disciple's ability to reverse time and resurrect cosmic overlords exceeded their imagination; he could resurrect ten cosmic overlords every day without any difficulty.

In fact, all the cosmic venerables who died on the battlefields outside the realm over the past tens of thousands of years were resurrected by Hunzhen. In order not to attract attention, eighty percent of them went into hiding and did not return to the battlefield, but instead began to cultivate in seclusion.

However, resurrecting ten cosmic overlords every day is certainly not the limit for Hunzhen.

With his current abilities, even if he exhausts the energy he draws from the future, he could easily resurrect thousands of cosmic venerables in a single day.

But in that case, no matter how much he tries to dissuade them, the human race's strategy will inevitably change.

If this change attracts the attention of the Purple Moon Ancestor, making him realize his connection with the human race, and he secretly tries to invest in other forces in the primordial universe, it will be somewhat troublesome.

Anyway, if we just follow the normal path, we can pass the level smoothly. Why bother with all that brainpower and effort?

So Hunzhen slightly slacked off for a bit.

In conclusion, in order to prevent the existence of spies and the leakage of intelligence, the human leadership continues to treat these advantages as non-existent and carry out strategic planning.

"Although the appearance of the Primordial Star has dispersed our forces, it does not mean that we have given up the struggle for the extraterritorial battlefield. Rather, it is an opportunity for us to gain the upper hand and seize the initiative on the extraterritorial battlefield with less power."

"On the original planet, there are more resources and opportunities, but the competition is fiercer, and the risk of death is greater!"

"Because of the appearance of the primordial star, the extraterrestrial battlefield will be more stable under normal circumstances during this period. Barring special circumstances, the number of times a Cosmic Venerable will be involved in battle will be greatly reduced, but correspondingly, the gains will also be less, but more stable!"

The Chaos City Lord swept his gaze across the eager faces and slowly said, "This time, we will be fighting on two fronts. The number of people sent to the Primal Star will be correspondingly larger, while the number of people stationed on the outer battlefield will be correspondingly smaller. You can go to the Primal Star in groups on your own, or you can accept the arrangements made by your clan. The former is your own responsibility, and you will be responsible for the consequences of any gains you make on the Primal Star."

"The latter will receive different levels of benefits based on their strength and division of labor, and they must accept the command of the leaders appointed by our high command. Correspondingly, some property losses are insured, and if they are killed in battle, the resources needed for resurrection will be borne by the tribe..."

"As for those stationed on extraterritorial battlefields, similar to those on primordial planets who accept arrangements from their respective races, the losses are borne by the races themselves..."

"To prevent uneven distribution of combat power from causing a deviation in the overall strategy of the race, there is a limit to the number of applications that can be submitted, regardless of the path chosen or the battlefield selected. Those approved first will naturally receive their guarantees. Otherwise, you might find yourself in a situation where you want to go treasure hunting on the Primal Star, but all the slots have already been applied for..."

As the Lord of Chaos City explained, the crowd expressed varying degrees of interest in the different strategies employed on the two battlefields.

In reality, however, a smokescreen was hidden within this.

Even though the highest human council is attended by members of the Hong Alliance, it is still difficult to completely eliminate the existence of spies.

At this moment, this intelligence had already been transmitted to the Zerg, the Prison Clan, and the Demon Clan through spies.

Beyond the human realm, within the Zerg realm.

"snort!"

"The cunning humans, saying they're focusing most of their forces on the Primal Star this time?"

"Will they do the opposite, or will they deliberately create a diversion?"

"Compared to the battlefields outside the region, the number of combat forces on the primordial planet is truly difficult to estimate. This is the gap where humanity can launch a smokescreen."

The Zerg Queen pondered, a sly smile spreading across her face.

"Ha, you humans want to confuse us about which battlefield is the main battlefield: the extraterrestrial battlefield or the primordial planet?"

"Then I'll just ignore your true intentions and find another way!"

The Zerg Queen's jade-like fingers trembled slightly, as if she were pulling strings or playing an invisible piano.

"In this battle, we won't focus on victory or defeat, but rather on the geniuses of your human race, trying to infiltrate as many pieces as possible. Ideally, we'd intercept a genius with the potential to break through to the level of a Universe Master!"

"Only in this way can we uncover the true secrets of you humans!"

"Giggle giggle."

"In terms of strategy and calculation, my Zerg are indeed far ahead!"

"That's at least 50% more than other forces!"

on the other hand.

The latest novel is first published here!

The Prison Clan, which rivals the Zerg and Human Clan, and the Demon Clan, which is being attacked and is already in decline, also reacted in their own ways.

Upon receiving the news, the Demon Ancestor, the ruler of the Prison Clan, revealed a cold smile.

Like the Zerg Queen, he did not believe that this was humanity's true strategic deployment, but the Demon Ancestor's thoughts were simple and direct.

"Once we, the sons of the Prison Clan, crush your human race on the Primordial Star, we'll naturally know what your true schemes are."

Looking at the group of universe lords beside him and the group of universe venerables below, the Demon Ancestor was absolutely certain that the battle-hardened Prison Clan had an absolute advantage in combat power.

He suddenly clenched his fist, raised his arm, and shouted: "Gentlemen, we have no equal before us!"

The audience immediately erupted in applause, indicating they understood.

As for the demon race...

The Dream Demon Ancestor fiddled with the silk-thread diagram in front of him, looking at the obsequious Lord of the Cave before him with a deep and unfathomable gaze.

The Lord of Yuan'ao looked up with a fawning smile: "Lord Dream Demon Ancestor, the emergence of the Primordial Star is precisely the moment when the Prison Clan, Human Clan, and Insect Clan are forced to divert their strength. This is the best time for you to investigate the truth behind this map!"

……

While the Zerg and Hell Clan were still engaged in heated discussions, the Humans had already dispersed, each rushing to apply for qualifications.

Luo Feng, however, created another space within the virtual universe and invited the avatar of the Master of the Hunzhen String Sword.

"So... what exactly is your situation? When did you become so familiar with Teacher Zuoshanke?"

Luo Feng looked suspicious and bombarded him with questions.

The Lord of the String Sword is already the Lord of the Universe. Even though he has only "debuted" in recent years, his deeds cannot be easily spread to the immortal realm.

In addition, since the Lord of the String Sword mainly operates in the Cosmic Sea and his reputation is mainly developed there, Luo Feng had never known that Hunzhen had another identity as the Lord of the String Sword.

The Mountain Guest had told him long ago that Hunzhen had become the Lord of the Universe and had taken the title of "Lord of Time and Space".

So why bring back the Sword King's disguise and elevate him to the level of a universe master?

Has the Lord of Time and Space ruined his account?

Luo Feng had many questions in his mind.

Of course, the biggest question remains the relationship between Zuoshanke and Hunzhen.

How come they've only been apart for a short time? Judging from Hunzhen's tone, the two of them seem to have become inseparable friends.

Behind his back, as his disciple, were they secretly having an affair?

Isn't this just making him a lower rank in terms of seniority for no reason?

A hint of resentment arose in Luo Feng's heart.

As for Hunzhen deceiving him and forcing a connection, he didn't quite believe it. After all, although Master Zuoshanke was unrestrained and seemed indifferent to most things, he would never give a good look to those who tried to force a connection, clinging to him like ants to honey.

Otherwise, if a group of people feel that the Mountain Master is not in charge, and use their good relationship with the Mountain Master as an excuse to show off their power, wouldn't that cause countless troubles?

Hunzhen, however, remained solemn, adopting the posture of a senior addressing a junior, and sternly shook his head, saying, "Luo Feng, boy, it's best for a child not to ask about matters between adults. My relationship with your master involves a shocking secret! You have no way of knowing about it now!"

Luo Feng was speechless.

If it weren't for Hunzhen saying this, he might have been fooled and actually believed it.

Hunzhen chuckled inwardly upon seeing this.

"Luo Feng, Luo Feng, I was clearly telling the truth. Since you don't believe me, then I didn't lie to you."

He looked at Luo Feng with a half-smile and said, "You still have the leisure to chat with me like this? Don't come blaming me later when the application channel closes."

Having said that, he shook his head and vanished.

Luo Feng was taken aback. He had already seen the danger of the Primal Star from the information given by the Chaos City Lord. No matter how urgent it was, the spots should have been snapped up in such a short time, right?

It is evident that Hunzhen deliberately brought up this matter, and he immediately opened the corresponding window.

"Um?"

Luo Feng suddenly frowned, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

"Why...why can I apply for two battlefields at the same time?"

Luo Feng scanned the entire application page, and a look of understanding quickly crossed his face.

"So, it was because of the clones."

"I don't need to mention that the fact that the Golden Horned Beast had an avatar was discovered by the teacher a long time ago. Most of the Cosmic Venerables in the Hong Alliance would hide their avatars from those around them, but such concealment seemed to be transparent to the higher-ups of humanity."

"By merging numerous clones into the original star and having the main body guard the extraterrestrial battlefield, the number of battlefields becomes increasingly difficult to match. By feigning reality and making reality appear feigned, we prevent hostile forces from accurately grasping humanity's true intentions."

With just a little thought, Luo Feng could come up with several advantages of this move.

"And what about me?"

"Having two clones and the main body in separate locations does indeed allow us to earn more contribution points and treasures. Moreover, to avoid this plan being exposed, even though the main body and clones are each stationed in a different location and joining the original star exploration team, we still have two insurance policies in place for this great battle. But even so, it still means that the risk will increase significantly."

Luo Feng pondered for a moment, and soon made up his mind.

"Teacher Zuoshanke won't help me redeem Earth. I need to earn as much contribution as possible and take back ownership of my homeland as soon as possible..."

"Whether it's for contribution points or to increase strength, how can we do it without taking some risks!?"
