Chapter 128: Sky-Eclipse Zunzhe, The Strongest of the Three Races

After the banquet Lu Qingshan hosted for Lu Hongwen ended, many guests departed one after another.

After seeing everyone off, Lu Qingshan quickly informed his third son, Lu Hongwen, of the matters he had previously discussed with Yan Chihuo Hou and the other two.

"Father!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lu Hongwen spoke with considerable worry: "I do not know if this will have any impact on you! If those three giants use this matter to make things difficult for you in the future, you will be in trouble!"

"No problem!"

Lu Qingshan waved his hand, then smiled and said: "Just rest assured and do your work; I will handle the negotiations with Yan Chihuo Hou and the other two!"

In fact, if Lu Qingshan were truly an ordinary Marquis-level Immortal, or even just an ordinary Marquis-level Immortal with potential to become a King, he would naturally have considered this matter carefully.

For instance, he would have thoroughly investigated the backgrounds of Yan Chihuo Hou and the other two, and then looked into their reputations within the Yan Feng Branch...

However, even the current Lu Qingshan already possesses strength capable of threatening the peak of Marquis-level Immortals!

Therefore, for the current Lu Qingshan, Yan Chihuo Hou and the other two truly count for nothing; this is the confidence brought by overwhelming strength!

Moreover, with the help of the Dao-Comprehension Enhancement function within the Chat Group, and various opportunities from other worlds, his future strength will continue to grow; at that time, such trivial matters will be even less worth mentioning!

"Then this son is relieved!"

Lu Hongwen nodded, then continued: "However, the one originally responsible for the star domains near Lei Guang Hai Star Domain was my lord Mars, so if I am to be responsible in the future, what about my lord Mars..."

"Rest assured!"

Lu Qingshan said calmly: "I have already spoken to Yan Chihuo Hou and the other two regarding Mars; they will make proper arrangements!"

"Third son, your most important task next is to look after the family, and you must not let them become arrogant and complacent just because two Immortal Gods have appeared in the family; you must continue to execute the family rules perfectly!"

It must be known that before Lu Qingshan became an Immortal God, although the Lu Family was only a Domain Master family, it had already been passed down for hundreds of millions of years within the Lei Guang Hai Star Domain.

Back then, if not for the accumulation of hundreds of millions of years of family inheritance, it would not have been so simple for him to accumulate enough contribution points to purchase the initial universe comprehension slot.

And for a Domain Master-level family to be passed down for hundreds of millions of years, besides needing a Domain Master-level powerhouse to appear in every generation, a good set of family rules is also indispensable; otherwise, if the family's descendants provoke a supreme powerhouse, the entire family could be buried along with them!

Precisely for this reason, even after becoming an Immortal God, Lu Qingshan did not choose to change the Lu Family's original rules, but instead let Lu Hongwen continue to manage the family according to the rules.

"Father, please rest assured!"

Lu Hongwen hurriedly promised: "This son may not be good at other things, but I am somewhat confident in helping you manage the family; I certainly will not let the family's descendants affect you!"

"Hmm!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

Although his strength is now great, and even if the family's descendants cause some trouble, he should have the ability to resolve it, he still dislikes trouble, and he also dislikes those who cause trouble!

After Lu Qingshan and his son finished talking, they naturally dispersed.

Lu Qingshan's true body continued to wait on the main continent of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters for new missions, while his second clone quickly departed for the 'Snowfield Star River' within the dispersion range of Camp 056 in the Third Outer Battlefield, carrying numerous newly purchased equipments through the logistics base within the Human Race's territory!

This 'Snowfield Star River' has a maximum diameter of eighteen light-years, containing countless continent fragments left behind by the great battles of powerhouses, and even numerous treasures left behind when the original inhabitants of this place were annihilated by the four peak races.

At the same time, this is the highest-level combat zone within the dispersion range of Camp 056 in the Third Outer Battlefield; any powerhouse team daring to venture into the Snowfield Star River must be led by at least a King-level Immortal, otherwise they absolutely will not survive more than a few years within the Snowfield Star River!

In addition, nearly ten thousand King-level Immortals are stationed within the Snowfield Star River; they are scattered across various areas, either hiding their tracks to hunt down alien race powerhouses, or dominating a region to provide shelter for powerhouses of the same camp, or searching for treasures left behind by the original inhabitants of the Snowfield Star River...

It is worth mentioning that since Lu Qingshan disappeared from the Yanji Continent, many powerhouses of the Human Camp active on the Yanji Continent have sent him messages through the army system, including several emails from the members of the Xuan Kong Squad!

This is the 'downside' of the Virtual Universe!

If it were the Meng Yao Zu camp, after he left the Seventh Outer Battlefield, he would probably find it very difficult to receive messages from powerhouses of the same camp.

However, the army system of the Human Camp's outer battlefield is 'networked' with the Virtual Universe; even though Lu Qingshan has left, the army system can still transmit messages to him through the Virtual Universe!

Fortunately, because there are numerous alien race powerhouses on the outer battlefield of the Human Camp, the army system and the Virtual Universe are only networked, and various messages are not shared!

That is to say, those alien race powerhouses who joined the Human Camp on the outer battlefield generally can only use the separately created outer battlefield army system within the Virtual Universe and cannot go to other plane areas of the Virtual Universe, so Lu Qingshan does not need to worry about those powerhouses on the outer battlefield learning his identity through the Virtual Universe!

As for the high-level officials of the Human Race, as long as Lu Qingshan is still using the Virtual Universe, it naturally cannot be concealed!

The high-level officials of the Human Race have not noticed him yet, but only because his strength is still relatively weak!

Of course, Lu Qingshan originally did not intend to conceal the fact that he possesses a clone from the race's high-level officials; anyway, he broke through to become an Immortal God immediately after coming out of the initial universe.

And an Immortal God cannot be possessed by anyone, so he can be said to be of pure and righteous stock, having no fear of anyone investigating him!

As for the matter of the clone, it is merely a personal opportunity!

In the original work, even the Master of Chen Fire could obtain an opportunity during his Domain Master period and receive the 'Second Clone' bestowed by the Universe Origin; seeing this, such matters are not too special for a Universe Master, so what if he obtained a clone secret technique?

After receiving numerous emails, Lu Qingshan quickly ordered the intelligent lifeform Deep Blue to send an email back to the members of the Xuan Kong Squad and some familiar Immortals, stating that he had left the Yanji Continent, and then paid no more attention to it.

After learning about the 'Snowfield Star River' within the camp base, Lu Qingshan this time did not join other powerhouse teams, but chose to go to the Snowfield Star River alone.

Just as Lu Qingshan was traveling alone in a spaceship towards the 'Snowfield Star River'...

In the vast universe, within an endless void of starry sky.

Three wills directly traversed endless space and time, descending upon this desolate starry sky, and then faintly manifested three towering figures.

One of the figures appeared extremely perfect; her slender figure could be vaguely seen, and endless light even surrounded her body; merely viewing this figure would probably be enough to make a Universe Zifeng Zunzhe completely infatuated;

Around another figure, billions of snake shadows could be vaguely seen circling and accompanying; a massive silver-white snake head looked around, and the space surrounding its body had already completely twisted into countless whirlpools;

The third figure was a very massive oval brown sphere phantom, appearing incredibly mysterious.

These three figures were precisely the leaders of the three peak races: the Mechanical Race, the Insect Race, and the Meng Yao Zu, three super-existences at the level of the Universe's strongest.

"Empress!"

The silver-white snake head looked at that slender figure, then spoke in a deep voice: "You suddenly summoned my Meng Yao Zu side and the Mechanical Race side; now both I and the Mechanical have arrived, so it is time to discuss business!"

"Meng Yao, is Zhen Jiao not coming?" the slender figure asked in a soft voice.

"For our Meng Yao Zu side, my presence is sufficient."

The silver-white snake head spoke again: "Let us discuss business first; I have no time to waste here with you!"

"Empress, speak directly." A voice also emerged from within that oval brown sphere.

"Very well!"

That slender figure continued to speak softly: "I suppose you also know that the Human Race recently produced an unparalleled genius appearing once in tens of millions of eras, the Sky-Tian Tian Shi Wang 'Alvis'! This person's strength increased very rapidly; in merely cultivating for tens of thousands of years, he already possesses the strength of an Invincible King!"

Hearing the Insect Race Queen Mother's words, the silver-white snake head suddenly snorted coldly: "Hmph! Damn humans!"

You should know that in this era, apart from the human race producing a heaven-defying genius, the Sky Tian Tian Shi Wang 'Alvis', the Meng Yao Zu royal bloodline 'Spacetime Nightmare Beast' clan also produced an absolute genius named 'Spencer'.

But that Spencer was killed by a spy of the human race, and even reversing spacetime couldn't resurrect him — how could the Dream Yao Ancestor not be furious?

The Zerg Empress didn't respond to the Dream Yao Ancestor at all, but continued: "Just now, our Zerg race tracked down traces of that Sky Tian Tian Shi Wang Alvis, then dispatched a Zifeng Zunzhe, attempting to kill him! But not only did he escape smoothly, he even took the opportunity to break through to the Venerable Realm!"

Hearing this, the Machine Race Father God asked in a deep voice: "Empress, even so, there's no need to alarm me and Meng Cha! That little fellow cultivating for several hundred thousand years to become a Zifeng Zunzhe is indeed relatively fast, but wanting to continue growing stronger afterward will be much harder — most likely it just adds one more high-tier Venerable to the human race! And now that he's become a Zifeng Zunzhe, killing him in the future will be even harder — just have the clan's strong ones keep an eye on him!"

"If it were only this, of course there'd be no problem!"

The Zerg Empress quickly continued: "But what if that Sky Eclipse Venerable possesses a clone — and moreover, a clone with a life gene level thousands of times higher, and an enormous body?"

"What?"

"Empress, is what you're saying true?"

After hearing the Zerg Empress's words, the Meng Yao Zu Dream Yao Ancestor and the Machine Race Father God quickly pressed.

"Of course!"

The Zerg Empress nodded and said: "This was personally witnessed by my Zerg camp's Soul Destruction Venerable — how could it possibly be false?"

"Then this is troublesome!" The Dream Yao Ancestor of the Meng Yao Zu slightly furrowed his brow atop his massive silver-white serpent head.

"Indeed!"

From within the oval brown sphere came the voice of the Machine Race Father God: "That Sky Eclipse Venerable possesses such a powerful clone — given some time to cultivate, becoming a Universe Hegemon in the future should be very simple, and he might very well become a top-tier Universe Hegemon!"

"Exactly!"

The Zerg Empress's voice was no longer gentle at this point, instead becoming somewhat low: "The human race currently only has three top-tier Universe Hegemons — are we going to watch them produce another one?"

You should know that for peak forces possessing a Universe Strongest One, a top-tier Universe Hegemon's role is in no way inferior to that of a Universe Master!

Although a top-tier Universe Hegemon's strength is somewhat weaker than a Universe Master's, for the sake of their race they can fight fearlessly to the death, and even if they fall, the Universe Strongest One can once again reverse spacetime to resurrect them — let alone a top-tier Universe Hegemon who possesses a clone!

If they allowed that Sky Eclipse Venerable to become a top-tier Universe Hegemon, it would be equivalent to raising the overall strength of the human race by a notch!

As the saying goes, 'Their hero is our enemy!'

Even if an ordinary race — or even a powerful race — in the universe produced a talented genius, they might still try to stop them, let alone the human race, this hostile force!

"This trouble indeed needs to be resolved somehow!"

The Machine Race Father God said in a deep voice: "But killing a Zifeng Zunzhe who possesses a clone is indeed very troublesome. If that Sky Eclipse Venerable is smart, he'll definitely stay within the core territories of the human race for a long time before venturing out again — and by then, even Universe Masters or even the Universe Strongest One taking action might not be of much use!"

"Then target him!"

The Zerg Empress said seriously: "There are only a few places in the universe where one can obtain opportunities — apart from Secret Realms, there's the Primordial Star! Now that the Primordial Star is opening, that Sky Eclipse Venerable might very well rely on his clone ability to venture into the Primordial Star!"

"Even if we can't completely kill him, we should still slay his special life clone and seize the treasures on him! By then, even if he wants to nurture another special life clone of such enormous size, he'll need to spend a huge amount of resources — let alone those lost supreme treasures!"

"I agree! However…"

The Meng Yao Zu Dream Yao Ancestor said in a deep voice: "Empress, your Zerg race should contribute a bit more in this matter — you're most adept at soul attacks, you might be able to soul-kill him!"

"Meng Cha, it should be your Meng Yao Zu contributing the most effort!"

After hearing the Dream Yao Ancestor's words, the Zerg Empress immediately said coldly: "Among our four peak races, your Meng Yao Zu has the most top-tier Universe Hegemons — the top-tier Universe Hegemons of our other three races combined probably don't match your Meng Yao Zu's number, and you still want our Zerg race to contribute more?"

"Empress, once your Zerg race's Universe Hegemons erupt, they're in no way inferior to top-tier Universe Hegemons!"

The Dream Yao Ancestor immediately said: "And I didn't say our Meng Yao Zu wouldn't contribute — I just said that in this matter, your Zerg race's strong ones should take the lead!"

"Empress, Meng Cha, you two should stop arguing!"

The Machine Race Father God quickly spoke up: "In my view, the three of our races should jointly raise the bounty on that Sky Eclipse Venerable — naturally, strong ones within the races will then go after him for the bounty!"

"Good!"

"I agree!"

The Zerg Empress and the Meng Yao Zu Dream Yao Ancestor nodded in succession.

After reaching consensus, the massive oval brown sphere, the faintly visible graceful figure, and the silver serpent head wreathed in countless serpent shadows all vanished in an instant, and this stretch of starry sky quickly returned to calm.

At the same time, the oval brown sphere and the graceful figure unexpectedly reappeared in another stretch of starry sky — it was precisely the Machine Race Father God and the Zerg Empress.

"Empress!"

From within the oval brown sphere quickly came the voice of the Machine Race Father God: "What do you mean by calling me here alone?"

"Machine!"

The Zerg Empress said softly: "I wonder what your thoughts are on what I just said about the Meng Yao Zu having the most top-tier Universe Hegemons?"

"Hmph!"

Hearing the Zerg Empress's words, the Machine Race Father God immediately snorted coldly and said: "The Meng Yao Zu indeed have many top-tier Universe Hegemons, and their bloodlines vary in level — many species possess innate clone techniques, making them even more troublesome than that damned human race!"

"Indeed!"

The Zerg Empress likewise sighed: "Back then, if it weren't for the irreconcilable conflicts among the three — Yao Shou, the Old Beast God, and Zhen Jiao — the Meng Yao Zu would long ago have been the strongest force in our Primordial Universe!"

Hearing this, the Machine Race Father God also felt quite emotional in his heart.

If the Starry Sky Giant Beast Alliance and the Meng Yao Zu had remained one, they would definitely have been the Primordial Universe's number one force, and could even have ranked among the foremost of the many forces in the Sea of Universe.

Fortunately, the Yao Shou Ancestor, the Starry Sky Giant Beast Ancestor, and the Zhen Yao Ancestor harbored deep enmity toward one another, so in the end this powerful force fell apart!

But even so, the current Meng Yao Zu is still the one with the most Universe Strongest Ones, Universe Masters, and top-tier Universe Hegemons among the four peak races!

Don't be fooled — although they were just now joining hands with the Meng Yao Zu to target the human race, more often it's the human race, the Machine Race, and the Zerg Race joining forces against the Meng Yao Zu!

"But then again, although the Meng Yao Zu have many top-tier Universe Hegemons, there's nothing we can do about it!"

The Machine Race Father God quickly said: "Even if we had the chance to kill them, Zhen Jiao and Meng Cha could reverse spacetime to resurrect them!"

"Now there's a good opportunity!"

The Zerg Empress quickly said: "According to intelligence transmitted by our Zerg agents embedded within Meng Yao Zu territory, the Meng Yao Zu have actually produced two super geniuses in this era — in no way inferior to the Sky Eclipse Venerable I just mentioned!"

"However, these two geniuses haven't cultivated for long. One of them is from the Spacetime Nightmare Beast bloodline and has already been killed by the human race — even reversing spacetime can't resurrect him now;

As for the other, he's from the Meng Yao Zu Lord Tianlang bloodline. It's said that he seized a special life with a life gene level thousands of times over. Most crucially, he's still a Realm Master right now — far easier to deal with than that Sky Eclipse Venerable of the human race!"

"Oh?"

Hearing the Zerg Empress's words, the Machine Race Father God quickly said: "Empress, your Zerg race truly live up to being the most adept at soul attacks — your intelligence is sharp indeed. However, I think we should call Giant Axe in to discuss this together. The human race has the Virtual Universe — they might have already uncovered some intelligence too!"

"No problem!"

The Insect Race Queen Empress quickly nodded and said, "I'll contact Giant Axe right now!"
