Chapter 318: Human Race Territory

"The Profound Thunder-Averting Calamity Pagoda is a flying palace-class ordinary supreme treasure. Entering it can nearly one hundred percent isolate material attack power that does not exceed its tolerance limit, and it also possesses sealing functions, but its weakening of soul attack power is negligible!"

Just after Lu Qingshan made his choice, that gentle voice sounded again in Lu Qingshan's mind: "The Profound Thunder-Averting Calamity Pagoda is a thunder-attribute supreme treasure, so only one who has mastered the complete Thunder Origin Law can activate it. If one has not mastered the complete Thunder Origin Law but has mastered the Time Origin Law, one can also activate its power!"

"The Profound Thunder-Averting Calamity Pagoda? I'll take it!"

After hearing the full introduction regarding the Profound Thunder-Averting Calamity Pagoda, Lu Qingshan immediately nodded in satisfaction, then submitted the application to exchange for the Profound Thunder-Averting Calamity Pagoda.

After Lu Qingshan submitted the application, the gentle voice sounded again: "The Profound Thunder-Averting Calamity Pagoda requires 27 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points to exchange. Lu Qingshan, do you wish to exchange?"

"Exchange!" Lu Qingshan immediately nodded and said.

Boom!

Only then did the green stone disk located in the center of the side hall open again, followed by a black light that instantly flew out from that crack.

When this black light stopped before Lu Qingshan, it quickly transformed into a three-story black treasure pagoda.

"The Profound Thunder-Averting Calamity Pagoda!"

Looking at the three-story pagoda before him, Lu Qingshan soon emanated a trace of divine power that penetrated it to complete the master-claiming: "For a very long time to come, I'm afraid you will have to accompany me as I roam the universe!"

You must know that among high-grade flying palace-class supreme treasures, even the cheapest cost over two hundred Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points; even some ordinary Universe Masters might not be able to afford an exchange, so for the current Lu Qingshan to wish to exchange for one would be even harder.

And after exchanging for this Profound Thunder-Averting Calamity Pagoda, Lu Qingshan's wealth was left with only 6.7 Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points; this was only because he had once again contributed the flying palace-class top-grade heavy treasure he had previously used, the 'Purple-Gold Eight-Treasure Ship', to the Human Race's treasure vault.

Just as Lu Qingshan was exchanging treasures in the Human Race's treasure vault, many Universe Masters of the Human Race also gathered together.

This was a special plane space within the Virtual Universe; within the endless space there stood only a towering, simple divine hall.

Inside this towering divine hall sat a long stone table; on both sides of the stone table were arranged rows of stone chairs, and at this moment these stone chairs were already filled with Universe Masters of the Human Race.

As for the main seat, a wild giant man was sitting there; he was the current guardian deity of the Human Race, the Great Axe Founder.

"Everyone has arrived!"

After everyone had fully assembled, the Great Axe Founder quickly looked at the assembly of Human Race Universe Masters, then directly said: "Today I called everyone here because in the void zone adjacent to the border between our Human Race's territory and the Insect Race's territory, new universe territories suitable for life to flourish and multiply have suddenly begun to emerge on a large scale; their scale is at least equivalent to several Universe Kingdom territories!"

"New territories are beginning to emerge in the void lands?"

"And it is the void zone adjacent to the Insect Race's territory!"

"Our Human Race has not continued to expand its territory for a very long time!"

"Great Axe, what do you plan to do?"

After hearing the Great Axe Founder's words, the surrounding Human Race Universe Masters began to discuss the matter among themselves.

You must know that the Human Race, together with the other three peak races, occupied the most core territories within the Primordial Universe, and this also made countless other races quite envious of the four peak races.

Therefore, even with the powerful strength of a peak race, it is very difficult to continue expanding outward.

Otherwise, one would not only face resistance from countless other races but also be sabotaged by the other three peak races.

"Today I called everyone here is to discuss this matter!"

The Great Axe Founder soon spoke in a deep voice: "The commotion of the void lands emerging universe territories on a large scale was very great; the Insect Race must have felt it as well! I estimate the Insect Race Empress will soon contact me to discuss how to allocate that newly emerged universe territory!"

"Today I called everyone here is to see what everyone's thoughts are: do we wish to negotiate a resolution with that Insect Race, or do we wish to fight?"

"If we negotiate, how do we negotiate? If we fight, to what level should we control it?"

After hearing the Great Axe Founder's words, the surrounding Human Race Universe Masters began to ponder.

After a moment, finally a Universe Master spoke.

"I think if it can be resolved through negotiation, it is better to resolve it through negotiation!"

The first to speak was the ruler of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, Lord of the Wasteland: "Right now we are in the period when the Primordial Star is opening; if we truly fight with the Insect Race, I fear our Human Race will find it very difficult to gain much during this Primordial Star opening period!"

After hearing Lord of the Wasteland's words, the surrounding Human Race Universe Masters all nodded.

In conflicts not involving the Universe Master level, it is generally very difficult to determine a winner or loser within a short time; lasting for millions of years, or even tens of millions of years, is truly a very normal occurrence.

"I also think it is better to resolve it through negotiation!"

Lord of the Green East of the Universe's First Bank also nodded and said: "Right now, many Universe Zifeng Zunzhe within the clan are wandering on that Primordial Star; if we recall them now to fight with that Insect Race, it would indeed be quite troublesome!"

"Therefore, I think we should prioritize negotiating with the Insect Race, but our Human Race must occupy at least half of the core territory!"

"Exactly!"

Lord of the Dragon Path of the Virtual Universe Company faction also nodded and said: "If that Insect Race does not agree, then we shall fight; our Human Race will absolutely accompany them to the end!"

"In my view, that Insect Race may not be willing to fight with our Human Race either!"

Lord of the Peng Gong of the Universe Star River Bank soon spoke: "Just as Wasteland said, right now we are in the Primordial Star opening period; if our Human Race is unwilling to fight, then that Insect Race certainly will also be unwilling to fight!"

"Although the Insect Race possesses the Insect Sea tactic, those are reserves accumulated over their endless ages; I suppose they would not launch a full-scale war with our Human Race over such a small piece of territory!"

Facing the newly emerged core territory, the Human Race Universe Masters made no retreat whatsoever.

Although this core territory was of no use to them at all, it could continuously cultivate many strong ones for the Human Race.

And the more strong ones the Human Race has, the greater its status in this vast universe will naturally be!

"I also agree with everyone's view!"

Sitting beside the Great Axe Founder, Hun Dun Chengzhu soon spoke: "However, when allocating territory this time, we must also remain vigilant against the Meng Yao Zu and the Mechanical Race interfering!"

"Especially that Meng Yao Zu; relying on having two Universe Supreme Beings, their territory is already the largest among the four peak races, and whenever new territories appear, they always find ways to take more and occupy more!"

"Rest assured, Hun Dun!"

Lord of the Wasteland beside him soon said: "The territory that emerged this time is still quite far from that Meng Yao Zu territory; even if they wish to interfere, they will be out of reach!"

"If that Meng Yao Zu still wishes to cause trouble, we will unite with the Insect Race to give them a Henhendi Sect!"

"Very well!"

The Great Axe Founder's deep voice sounded again in everyone's ears: "Then I will discuss this matter with the Insect Race Empress shortly to see whether their Insect Race truly wishes to fight!"

"Also, after our Human Race occupies that core territory this time, because it is adjacent to the Insect Race's territory, plus the Meng Yao Zu and the Mechanical Race may go to cause destruction, we definitely need a powerful overlord with considerable strength to preside over the overall situation; everyone, who do you think is suitable to send?"

"Naturally, the stronger the person sent, the better!"

Lord of the Xu Jin of the Great Axe Martial Arena soon said: "However, our Human Race's current four top-tier Universe overlords already have important missions; we can only send someone else over to preside over the overall situation!"

"I think Lu Qingshan under Lord Bingfeng is quite excellent!"

The Lord of the Desolate Mirror glanced at Bing Feng Zhi Zhu, then smiled and said, "I heard that little fellow recently killed several Universe Dominators on the Primordial Star; his strength is absolutely the very peak beneath the top-tier Universe Dominators!"

"Moreover, he possesses the ability of clones; he only needs to send out one clone to garrison that newly opened universe territory!"

"I think that little fellow named Lu Qingshan is indeed quite suitable!"

"I also think there is no problem!"

After hearing the Lord of the Desolate Mirror's words, two other Universe Masters nearby soon spoke up.

"Bingfeng, what do you think?" The Giant Axe Founder's gaze quickly turned to Bing Feng Zhi Zhu beside him.

Hearing the Giant Axe Founder's words, Bing Feng Zhi Zhu quickly nodded and said, "Since everyone favors Lu Qingshan, I will discuss it with him shortly; I believe there should be no problem!"

"Good!"

The Giant Axe Founder nodded slightly, then continued, "Then let this matter be settled for now; after I discuss it with the Insect Race Empress, we will convene the Supreme Council to deliberate on this!"

"No problem!"

"I agree!"

"I also have no problem!"

One by one, the Human Race Universe Masters around nodded and responded.

On the other side, Lu Qingshan had just finished exchanging treasures in the Human Race Treasury; just as he intended to leave the Chaos City, he suddenly received a very important message. "Lord Bingfeng's teacher wants to see me?"

After reading the message content, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

To know, although he was Lord Bingfeng's disciple, usually he would only actively go to Lord Bingfeng to receive guidance, and Lord Bingfeng rarely summoned him actively.

In fact, it was not just Lu Qingshan; even the other disciples under Lord Bingfeng were the same!

"Could it be because I recently killed several Universe Dominators on the Primordial Star?"

After a thought flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, he quickly connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and hurriedly rushed to Lord Bingfeng's residence.

After Lu Qingshan arrived at the palace entrance of Lord Bingfeng, located at the peak of Lei Ting Island in the Virtual Universe, he quickly stepped inside, and then saw Lord Bingfeng sitting high on a huge Wang Zuo.

"Disciple pays respects to teacher!" Lu Qingshan immediately bowed respectfully.

"Mm!"

Lord Bingfeng nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Qingshan, you have made quite a name for yourself on the Primordial Star in recent years; I wonder how much benefit you have gained this time?"

"Disciple merely took advantage of those alien experts not knowing Disciple's specific strength at the beginning!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said, "During this time of roaming on the Primordial Star, Disciple only gained less than thirty Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points!"

"Just now, Disciple exchanged a flying palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao in the Race Treasury, and the Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points on my person are about to be exhausted again!"

"You little fellow!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lord Bingfeng quickly smiled and said, "In just a hundred years, you accumulated wealth that other Universe Dominators might not accumulate even after endless ages; are you still not satisfied?"

"Disciple just wanted to take this opportunity to earn more resources!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said with a smile, "It's just that recently those aliens have become smart; those with weak survival abilities now run far away when they see Disciple; it has become very difficult for Disciple to kill those aliens again!"

"This is the most normal thing!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lord Bingfeng quickly smiled and said, "Those aliens who can cultivate to the Universe Venerable Realm, which one of them is a fool?"

"They clearly know they are not your match, and might even fall at your hands; would they still actively crash into your Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao?"

"As your fame grows bigger and bigger, the number of experts daring to fight you will definitely become fewer and fewer! When you cultivate for a longer time, you will slowly understand!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said.

"Alright!"

Lord Bingfeng quickly spoke again, "This time I called you over, mainly because there is something I need to discuss with you!"

"Teacher, if you have anything, please just give orders!"

After hearing Lord Bingfeng's words, Lu Qingshan hurriedly said, "Disciple will definitely do my utmost to accomplish it!"

"It is not my matter, but the Race wants to entrust a mission to you!"

Lord Bingfeng quickly continued, "Not long ago, a large number of universe territories suitable for life to breed and survive suddenly emerged in the void zone adjacent to our Human Race and the Insect Race; their scale conservatively estimated could be the size of several Universe Kingdoms!"

"Now the Giant Axe Founder is negotiating with the Insect Race Empress on how to handle this universe territory, but no matter what, our Human Race will definitely be allocated a portion of the territory!"

"Because this newly emerged territory is adjacent to the Insect Race territory, there should be many conflicts with the Insect Race in the future, so the Race plans to send a powerful Universe Dominator to preside over the situation there!"

"Several Universe Masters within the Race mentioned your name, so I called you over, just wanting to ask what your thoughts are?"

"Opening new universe territories?" After hearing Lord Bingfeng's words, Lu Qingshan's heart couldn't help but stir.

Long before he transmigrated, the Human Race only had 1003 Universe Kingdoms, and until now it is still the same.

And in the original work, when Luo Feng began to rise, the Human Race had 1008 Universe Kingdoms!

So before Luo Feng began to rise, the Human Race definitely had to open new Universe Kingdoms, including the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the original work.

"Could the Qianwu Universe Kingdom be the one opened this time?"

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think silently in his heart: "Just right, Qianwu Zunzhe has already perished three times; perhaps when opening the Universe Kingdom this time, he will be stationed in one Universe Kingdom, and then slowly cultivate the talented juniors to repay the debt he owes!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly answered, "Teacher, Disciple is willing to accept the Race's mission, but I do not know how the Race will arrange for Disciple?"

"Most likely, they will let you garrison one Universe Kingdom!"

Lord Bingfeng quickly answered, "At that time, you only need to send out one clone to garrison there; under normal circumstances, there is nothing requiring you to take action!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said.

Although garrisoning one Universe Kingdom had no great effect on him, it would be of great benefit to the family behind him.

After all, the Lu Family has been developing within the Yanfeng Universe Kingdom, which would also bring considerable pressure to the Yanfeng Universe Kingdom Royal Family.

If Lu Qingshan's strength was relatively weak, it would be fine, just like the family where Jiuli Zunzhe resides, which developed very well within the Yanfeng Universe Kingdom.

But Lu Qingshan's strength is too strong; in the natural development of the family, conflicts with the Yanfeng Universe Kingdom Royal Family and other major families are inevitable!

"Just make the necessary preparations in advance for this matter!"

Lord Bingfeng quickly spoke again: "I estimate that the race will soon convene the supreme council to discuss this matter. At that time, the number of Universe Kingdoms to be opened and the personnel to be stationed in the newly opened Universe Kingdoms will be determined!"

"However, when the Universe Kingdoms are opened, our Human Race will definitely dispatch a large number of Immortal Gods. As a Universe Venerable, you only need to guard one region; you need not expend too much effort. Your main combat clone can still roam the Primitive Star!"

"Yes, Master!" Lu Qingshan respectfully replied again.

Because he knew about the Human Race's plan to open up new race territories, Lu Qingshan did not immediately head to the Primitive Star to roam after leaving Chaos City. Instead, he stayed on the continent of the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters to wait.

After all, the opening of the Primitive Star would last a full thousand eras. Since his strength had already been exposed, there was naturally no need to rush to the Primitive Star to roam.

Thus, several days passed quickly.

In the dark void, stars twinkled.

On both sides of the long stone table inside the towering divine temple, the Human Race's Universe Masters sat in place once more.

"Giant Axe, is there a result?"

"Did you call us here because negotiations with the Insect Race Empress were settled?"

"Did the Insect Race agree to our conditions, or do they want to fight us?"

One Universe Master after another spoke up.

"Everyone!"

As soon as the Founder of the Giant Axe on the main seat spoke, all the other Universe Masters around him instantly fell silent.

"I have already settled matters with the Insect Race Empress!"

The Founder of the Giant Axe quickly spoke: "For this newly born core territory, our Human Race and the Insect Race will each occupy about half. These are the star coordinates for the portion of territory allocated to our Human Race!"

After saying this, the Founder of the Giant Axe waved his hand, and a star map instantly appeared before everyone.

"Hahaha!"

"It seems the Insect Race is also unwilling to engage in a major conflict with our Human Race!"

"Exactly!"

Looking at the territory map divided by the Founder of the Giant Axe, the crowd of Universe Masters around spoke up one after another.

The Human Race and the Insect Race are both peak races, so their strengths are naturally nearly equal.

If both sides truly fought, whether in struggles at the Universe Venerable level or the Universe Master level, it would cause great losses to both sides.

Moreover, the territory born this time is not particularly large, so resolving it through negotiation is quite appropriate.
