Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 249 The Cowardly Thug, Terrifying News

Shortly after the Cosmic Sea was attacked by the Beasts, the rudimentary form of an "Anti-Beast Alliance" was formed.

This alliance, with the aim of "putting aside mutual hostility and taking the fight against the Beasts of the Realm as its primary objective," unites almost all forces in the Cosmic Sea.

Within the vast universe, those that can be called forces are naturally those with true god-level powerhouses.

Giant stars were moved here to form huge seats, where powerful figures from various factions represented their respective forces and took their seats.

Each of them was once a renowned figure in the vast universe.

Even those whose true forms were located in the Jin world, and who merely embodied divine power to participate in the meeting, exuded an incomparably powerful aura.

The Beasts of the Realm have been rampant for over a month, yet to this day, there has been no good news of a single Beast being captured. All these powerful figures wore solemn expressions.

As they were discussing strategies to deal with the Beast of the Realm, a True God suddenly interrupted them.

"I say, haven't you made contact with that God of Time and Space?"

"..."

This true god felt it was only natural to ask such a question. After all, this was the strongest being in the cosmic sea, recognized by the original will of the primordial universe. Faced with the threat of the world beast, wasn't it only right that his first reaction was to seek help from him?

The scene suddenly fell into a brief silence.

The true god who had spoken up frowned, realizing that things were not so simple. He also realized that his information was not up-to-date and that he might have missed some important intelligence, so he immediately shut his mouth.

A true god spoke up to answer: "That one... did not agree to come. He said..."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Another true god suddenly interrupted, saying in a harsh tone, "These are his exact words! We clearly asked him for help in the first place, but he had no intention of coming to our aid! He just hid in the primordial universe! What kind of spacetime deity is he!? He's just a coward, a turtle hiding in the sand! Does he think that just because he's a lone wolf and doesn't have a small universe, he doesn't have to take any responsibility?"

"Hehe, Naga God, you are mistaken."

A god with a grotesque, demonic face met the Naga God's sinister gaze and chuckled, "Judging from the information my race recently obtained from the world rings of those universe lords who suddenly died in the Jin world, this Spacetime God is not some lone wolf, but very likely a member of the currently powerful human race in the primordial universe. Don't you think so, Lord of Chaos?"

The god with the grotesque face finally looked at the silent participant, the Lord of Chaos City.

The true gods in the Beast Alliance all looked at the Chaos City Lord with strange expressions, secretly discussing among themselves through telepathic communication.

The Lord of Chaos sighed inwardly, knowing he could no longer remain silent, and said, "The true identity of the God of Time and Space... is none other than my disciple, Hunzhen."

With the death of the Zerg Queen, much of the intelligence and information she had investigated has been exposed.

Not only the gods and ghosts before them, but also the humans themselves, have gathered some intelligence.

Knowing that the true identity of the God of Time and Space could no longer be concealed, the Lord of Chaos City immediately chose to admit it.

"Hunzhen, the disciple of the Chaos City Lord? Who is that?"

Have you heard of this person?

"Isn't that the Lord of the String Sword? He's actually the God of Time and Space!?"

"Wait! The Lord of the String Sword is male, and the Goddess of Time and Space is female?"

"I...I'm a bit confused. Can someone summarize?"

Although a very few forces have confirmed the identity of the Time-Space God, a large number of forces are still unaware of it due to limited intelligence capabilities.

At this moment, the true identity of the God of Time and Space was exposed, and the direction of the meeting instantly veered from dealing with the Beast of Realm to Hunzhen, causing an uproar.

"Gentlemen, shall we pause our discussion for now and allow the Lord of Chaos City to offer a brief explanation?"

The God of Gods and Demons chuckled inwardly: "Explain why your strongest human, the God of Time and Space, refused to participate in the rescue operation. As far as I know, although he entered the World of Jin, he has the ability to create clones, leaving either his clone or his true self in the Sea of ​​Universe, right? Could it be... that because he is the Lord of the Universe and is not afraid of the World Beasts' ability to devour small universes, he is simply standing by and watching?"

"Gods, ghosts, and true gods..."

The Lord of Chaos City's expression darkened, and he said, "Don't stir up trouble here. The God of Time and Space has his reasons for not taking action."

The God and Demon True God continued with a smile, asking, "Oh? What significant reason could he possibly have for allowing so many of our fellow beings from the Cosmic Sea to be ravaged by the Beasts of the Realm? Chaos City Lord, can you explain this clearly?"

The Lord of Chaos City was prepared and said calmly, "The God of Time and Space is at a critical moment of breakthrough and cannot act rashly. Moreover, as the strongest being in the Cosmic Sea, if we act rashly and the Beasts of the Realms discover our secrets, leading to our defeat in the final battle, we will all perish along with the Primordial Universe... True Lord of Gods and Demons, can you bear this responsibility? Or perhaps—"

The Chaos City Lord's face darkened, and he loudly questioned, "You've already sided with the Realm Beasts, wanting to be their pawn and find out the biggest trump card of our Cosmic Sea side for them!?"

No one can withstand such a heavy accusation.

"you!"

The god and demon god stared wide-eyed, his body trembling slightly, speechless for a moment.

The other gods, witnessing the verbal sparring between the two, also whispered among themselves.

As for the Lord of Chaos City directly regarding Hunzhen as the biggest trump card of the Cosmic Sea, basically no one took it as boasting.

After all, the power of the God of Time and Space was evident to everyone in the Cosmic Sea.

However, "basically none" means that there are still a small number of people who disagree.

"Lord of Chaos City, I can't pretend I didn't hear that."

A true god with a face resembling a human intervened in the debate, saying, "No one objects to the fact that the God of Time and Space is the strongest being in the Cosmic Sea. However, the emergence of the Jin World has greatly reduced the gap between us and the 'strongest'! I don't think that preventing him from making a move and concealing his strength is more beneficial than ignoring the other victimized strongest beings in the universe."

The words of this true God have garnered the approval of many.

Just like in the original story, after obtaining a suitable supreme treasure, the giant axe's strength could directly rise to the ninth rank, and he was quite confident of reaching the tenth rank.

Ten million years after the opening of the Jin Dynasty world, the true gods in the cosmic sea have all received tremendous improvements.

Many people have obtained weapons that suit them and have also completed the two-piece set to face the Beast of the Realm.

In addition, most of the true gods joined the army and obtained the first-order burning divine power secret technique.

These people's egos swelled as their strength increased, and they became arrogant, thinking that their current strength was not much different from that of their original ancestors.

The God of Time and Space had already received the ancient inheritance from the Broken East River, so his strength probably wouldn't undergo a qualitative change.

The gap between us and them naturally narrowed significantly.

Millions of years ago, Hunzhen was able to defeat the seven True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan who joined forces. Now, any few of them can do the same thing together. So why should they revere the God of Time and Space?

We're all on the same level!

This kind of thinking is similar to that of the recently deceased Third True Lord, who felt, "I have cultivated to the point where I can fight against the God of Time and Space!" and "I am now on the same level as the God of Time and Space!"

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Chaos City frowned slightly but did not intend to say anything more.

He was well aware that these people felt that Hunzhen's "strength" and "status" had declined, and consequently, their "attention" to Hunzhen had also decreased.

Since some people feel there's no need to hide Hunzhen as a trump card, others might consider the completely opposite approach.

"Hehe, if you ask me, if the God of Time and Space isn't going to make a move, then so be it."

Before long, the Lord of Chaos City heard the voice he wanted to hear.

Seeing everyone looking at him, the true god continued, "It's his business if he wants to hide. Since we can handle the Beast of the Realm ourselves, then we should handle it ourselves! But in return—"

The true god looked at the Lord of Chaos City and grinned, "Since your human race is unwilling to exert its full strength, our assistance to you will naturally be 'not so timely'! Your human race has the leeway to conceal its strength, so protecting yourselves shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Seeing that many True Gods were looking at him, the Chaos City Lord snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Since that's the case, we humans will deal with our own affairs and withdraw from this so-called 'Anti-World Beast Alliance'! However, as this person said, if you ask us for help, we have no reason to assist you!"

"this……"

Many true gods showed hesitant expressions.

The latest novel is first published here!

Some people have taken the initiative to stand up and become their own masters, no longer revering the God of Time and Space, while others still submit to the tyranny of the God of Time and Space.

This group of people are not so optimistic about the True God who has risen to power in the Beast Alliance, and do not think that he can compare with the God of Time and Space when a real crisis occurs.

Disagreements naturally lead to discussions.

Ultimately, thanks to the efforts of this part of the true gods, humanity did not break away from the Alliance of the Beasts.

At the same time, the clause that "the God of Time and Space can take action at his discretion" was retained, allowing the human race to send only true gods other than the God of Time and Space as permanent firefighters, while the human race itself also retains the right to ask other forces in the alliance for help.

Following that, naturally, came the sharing of intelligence on the Beasts of the Realm and the planning of countermeasures.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed.

The thirteen World Beasts that invaded the Cosmic Sea were all second-tier World Beasts who had lost power.

Even true gods like the Lord of Bechi Star, who are at the top of the current cosmic sea, can deal with the world beasts at this stage.

After the initial period of unfamiliarity with the abilities of the World Beasts, some World Beasts were soon severely injured while devouring miniature universes.

However, something unexpected happened to the Alliance's true gods.

Just as the World Beast was severely injured and about to be completely killed, the World Beast that had first appeared, namely Gugar, reappeared, directly killed the severely injured World Beast, and devoured it before fleeing at high speed.

Witnessing the scene of their own kind killing each other, the people of the Cosmic Sea gained a deeper understanding of the cunning and brutality of the Beasts.

The failure of the first ambush and hunt left the alliance members somewhat disappointed.

Fortunately, not long after this failure, another hunt was finally successful!

However... after this initial victory, the league did not continue its triumphant march.

Realizing the threat posed by the life forms in the Cosmic Sea, the Beasts became even more cunning. They were more cautious than when Gugal first saw the Lord of Bechi Star and fled immediately. They no longer waited to discover the True God of the Cosmic Sea before fleeing. Instead, they would devour the creatures for a period of time and then disappear to change their targets!

Beasts are naturally adept at survival and escape. Once guerrilla warfare begins, even a second-tier beast becomes more than ten times more difficult to deal with!

However, most of the true gods in the cosmic sea are still in the Jin world. Facing so many world beasts, they have no way to organize a large patrol team and are in a dilemma!

Fortunately, with so many true gods united, the alliance is not to be underestimated.

This could involve analyzing the targets chosen by the Beasts, analyzing their behavioral patterns and movement routes, or directly targeting their escape abilities...

After all, it's only a second-tier world beast, so its strength is ultimately limited.

Soon, under the targeting of the Beast Alliance, another Beast was severely injured and died!

However, just as the Beast Alliance, riding high on its morale and unstoppable momentum, set its sights on its next target...

The first fallen true god to confront the Beast of the Realm head-on has appeared.

Even though they were only second-tier world beasts, in their final frenzied struggle against the combined attack of several true gods, some still suffered casualties.

Furthermore, from the final, frenzied taunts and curses of the fallen Beast of the Universe, the True Gods of the Cosmic Sea learned a terrifying truth.

"Foolish, inferior beings! Don't think you've won!"

"I, Morgana, am merely a loser among my own kind! We who have fled to the cosmic sea are all just losers who failed in the competition within our own lair!"

"We Realm Beasts are merely the lowest level among them! There are millions, even tens of millions, of Realm Beasts stronger than us!"

"Ha ha ha! Fear it! Despair it, you lowly insects!"

The final roar of the Beast Morgana, which had turned into black ash and dissipated, still echoed in everyone's ears.

A faint sense of panic began to spread throughout the alliance.

Even so, they did not immediately abandon the rescue work agreed upon by the alliance.

However... since then, the "failure" scenario that had occurred before has played out again.

They never again managed to clearly capture the image of the Beast.

Centuries later, despite the absence of any further successful attempts to subdue them, the Beasts of the Realm completely disappeared.

Inclined Peak Boundary.

With a look of ecstatic joy, Gugar was returning to his lair.

At this moment, the aura emanating from Gugal was already superior to that of a second-tier being.

He has returned to the third tier!

The World Beast Alliance's recent setbacks are all related to Cho'gall.

Over this period of time, Gugal gradually realized the risks of devouring miniature universes, so he turned his attention entirely to the second-tier world beasts that had escaped into the cosmic sea.

As the first second-tier world beast to devour a small universe after Mohe, and having successfully devoured another second-tier world beast in the Cosmic Sea, he has a considerable growth advantage, and no other second-tier world beast in the Cosmic Sea is his match.

So he plotted against both the Realm Beasts and the Realm Beast Alliance, using the Realm Beast Alliance as a sheepdog to guide the Realm Beasts' route, thus completing the devouring before the Realm Beasts could react.

After accumulating in this way, it finally returned to the third order.
