Chapter 324: Lu Qingshan's Plan

"Truly mad!"

Hearing the murmurs of countless Cosmic Zifeng Zunzhe in his ears, Lu Qingshan could not help but sigh deeply in his heart.

It must be known that the Cosmic Zifeng Zunzhe of the Human Race, who can be resurrected by reversing time and space repeatedly by the race's high command, naturally fear death far less than usual.

Therefore, even when adventuring in the Secret Realm or roaming the Primitive Star in the past, fighting to the death against powerful alien races and even perishing as a result were common occurrences.

Now, with many benefits and guarantees attached to killing the powerful ones of the Northern Frontier Alliance, and the chance to contribute to the race, the countless Cosmic Zifeng Zunzhe of the Human Race naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Everyone!"

Just as Lu Qingshan was sighing in his heart, the voice of Hun Dun Chengzhu rang out again in everyone's ears: "The establishment of the Northern Frontier Alliance is absolutely a huge threat to our Human Race!"

"Therefore, the race now needs you to fight, needs you to clear obstacles for the race!"

"Next, you may rent treasures suitable for yourselves from the race's treasury, form squads with powerful ones who can complement each other, and so on..."

"In short, the race needs you to exterminate the countless Cosmic Zifeng Zunzhe within the Northern Frontier Alliance; the more you kill, the greater the rewards you can obtain!"

"Very well, everyone, go back and prepare on your own!"

Amidst the solemn voice of Hun Dun Chengzhu, the Supreme Council concluded very quickly.

"The Cosmic Overlords remain!"

Just as Lu Qingshan was about to leave the Hall of Gods like the other Cosmic Zifeng Zunzhe, the voice of Hun Dun Chengzhu suddenly rang in his ears.

Upon hearing Hun Dun Chengzhu's words, Lu Qingshan naturally stayed behind along with the other Cosmic Overlords.

After all the other Cosmic Zifeng Zunzhe had left, only over three hundred figures remained in the great hall, and these were the three hundred-plus strongest individuals in the entire Human Race.

"Everyone!"

The voice of Hun Dun Chengzhu rang out again in the ears of Lu Qingshan and the others: "In this war against the Northern Frontier Alliance, you Cosmic Overlords will be the absolute main force!"

"The race hopes you will take the Cosmic Overlords within the Northern Frontier Alliance as your targets, because only when a Cosmic Overlord perishes will that Northern Frontier True God need to resurrect them, allowing us to test that Northern Frontier True God's attitude toward the Northern Frontier Alliance!"

"Yes!"

After hearing Hun Dun Chengzhu's words, the countless Cosmic Overlords of the Human Race nodded and responded one after another.

Afterwards, Hun Dun Chengzhu gave a few more instructions before allowing Lu Qingshan and the others to leave the Hall of Gods.

Inside a luxurious mansion on the mid-slope of Lei Ting Island.

Lu Qingshan, having left the Hall of Gods, quickly returned to his own mansion, where he was now pondering the impact of the establishment of the Northern Frontier Alliance on him.

"This time, when our six major superpowers join hands to go to war with the Northern Frontier Alliance, it is actually a very good opportunity for me!"

Lu Qingshan waved his hand to produce a bottle of fine wine, then, while enjoying the wine, secretly planned in his heart.

It must be known that when Lu Qingshan was roaming the Primitive Star in the past, the gains from the first few decades far exceeded the gains from the subsequent few hundred years.

One of the most important reasons for this was that, at the beginning, he took advantage of other powerful ones not knowing his true strength to kill quite a few alien Cosmic Overlords and high-level Cosmic Zifeng Zunzhe.

Even the fact that he was able to obtain over ten Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points in the subsequent few hundred years was because others did not know at the start that he had exchanged for a palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao possessing sealing functions.

If one does not count the spoils obtained after killing these powerful ones, his gains on the Primitive Star were less than three Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points, and even that was under very fortunate circumstances.

Now that other alien powerful ones all know Lu Qingshan's formidable strength, they will actively avoid him upon encountering him; naturally, it is no longer appropriate for him to pursue and kill them, so the speed at which he accumulates resources has become slower and slower.

Now that a great war has broken out between the six major superpowers and the newly established Northern Frontier Alliance, he naturally no longer needs to worry about those unwritten rules and can actively exterminate the Cosmic Overlords of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

The only thing he needs to pay attention to is that excessive killing might draw out some super powerful ones to deal with him, such as some top-tier Cosmic Overlords within the Northern Frontier Alliance, or even Cosmic Masters and so on!

"With my current ability to preserve my life, I need not worry about enemies at the level of top-tier Cosmic Overlords!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "But if those Cosmic Masters of the Northern Frontier Alliance attack me, I will be in trouble then!"

"If I truly perish at the hands of those Cosmic Masters of the Northern Frontier Alliance, I fear all the treasures I accumulated over my past long years will be wasted!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately set off and rushed to the mansion of his master, Bing Feng Zhi Zhu.

Inside a palace shrouded in endless chaotic qi flows at the peak of Lei Ting Island in the Virtual Universe.

Lu Qingshan respectfully stepped into the palace hall, then bowed respectfully toward the front and greeted: "Master!"

"What is it?" The voice of Bing Feng Zhi Zhu quickly rang in Lu Qingshan's ears.

"This disciple has one matter he wishes to ask Master!" Lu Qingshan immediately said respectfully.

"What matter?"

A figure soon walked out from the chaotic qi flows deep within the palace; it was Bing Feng Zhi Zhu, clad in a suit of silver battle armor.

Because Lu Qingshan had previously experienced killing multiple Cosmic Overlords, Bing Feng Zhi Zhu now valued Lu Qingshan much more, even considering Lu Qingshan to be one of the main forces in this campaign to kill the Cosmic Overlords of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

"It is like this!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said respectfully: "The race has decided to strike against that Northern Frontier Alliance this time, and naturally, this disciple must fight for the race!"

"However, this disciple worries that if this disciple kills too many Cosmic Overlords, the Cosmic Masters of the Northern Frontier Alliance might take action against this disciple!"

"Hahaha!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Bing Feng Zhi Zhu quickly said with a smile: "Qingshan, just rest assured!"

"This time, our six major superpowers are acting together; even if you kill over ten Cosmic Overlords of the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Cosmic Masters of the Northern Frontier Alliance will not dare to attack you, otherwise they will face the thunderous strike of the Cosmic Masters of our six major superpowers!"

"I know your current strength is already quite good, and you have also exchanged for a palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao from the race's treasury, but what you need to pay the most attention to are those top-tier Cosmic Overlords of the Northern Frontier Alliance!"

"If you kill too many Cosmic Overlords, you might provoke those top-tier Cosmic Overlords to attack you! At that time, even if you have a palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao to protect you, you may not be able to escape unscathed!"

"This disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said.

It must be known that palace-type Supreme Treasures are not invincible!

Once one hides inside a flying palace-type Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao, one can no longer launch attacks or resist; if the opponent possesses a higher-level sealing-type treasure, they can easily suppress him.

However, sealing-type treasures are already quite precious, let alone sealing-type treasures of a higher level than the 'Xuan Lei Bi Jie Tower'; even top-tier Cosmic Overlords do not necessarily possess them.

Moreover, even if encountering a top-tier Cosmic Overlord who possesses such a treasure, Lu Qingshan, relying on his high-grade Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao armor and the split divine body of the endless divine sea phantom he carries, can withstand them for a long time; even if he cannot exhaust the opponent's divine power, he can hold out until other top-tier Cosmic Overlords from the Human Race and the Hong Alliance arrive to support him.

"Go!"

Lord Bingfeng nodded and said: "Master believes you will surely be able to grow even stronger by trampling over the corpses of those alien powerhouses from the Northern Frontier Alliance, becoming a super powerhouse whose name strikes terror into the hearts of countless alien races throughout the universe!"

"Yes, Teacher. This disciple will certainly give it everything he has!" Lu Qingshan immediately bowed respectfully, then withdrew from Lord Bingfeng's divine hall.

And Lord Bingfeng, watching Lu Qingshan's departing figure, could not help but reveal a faint smile on his face.

Back then, when he had taken Lu Qingshan as a disciple, it had been done on a whim; he had never expected that Lu Qingshan would now become the strongest and most resourceful among the many disciples under his tutelage.

Although Zifeng Zunzhe, relying on numerous life-preserving supreme treasures, could match Lu Qingshan in strength, Zifeng Zunzhe's divine body was far smaller than Lu Qingshan's, and he also lacked the ability to create avatars!

"With Qingshan's strength, combined with his avatar ability, he might truly be able to slay over ten universe overlords of the Northern Frontier Alliance!"

Lord Bingfeng could not help but think: "Such a battle record—among our human race, probably only Qingluan, Zushu, and a few others could surpass Qingshan!"

……

On the other side, after leaving Lord Bingfeng's residence, Lu Qingshan quickly returned to his own residence.

"Now that I have Teacher's promise, I can finally stretch my limbs and go all out!"

In the living room, Lu Qingshan raised a cup of fine wine and drained it in one gulp, then secretly thought: "Slay over ten universe overlords of the Northern Frontier Alliance? That's far from enough for me!" "Throughout the long ages past, I have been constantly striving to expand the divine body of my Endless Divine Sea avatar, even sparing no cost in renting origin-type supreme treasures—and now, at last, they will have a chance to shine!"

One must understand that in battles at the universe Venerable level, the recovery of divine power after its depletion is what matters most.

Take other powerhouses—even those with enormous divine bodies—after intense battles where their divine power is severely damaged, they either choose to enter closed-door cultivation to recover their divine power, or choose to use precious treasures to rapidly restore their divine power, and so on.

Yet Lu Qingshan, having encountered an opportunity like the 'founding of the Northern Frontier Alliance'—a once-in-an-eternity event—can once again replicate the experience from his Undying Deity phase, when he relied on his Endless Divine Sea avatar to slaughter wantonly and accumulate resources!

"This opportunity can truly be called once in a thousand years!"

Lu Qingshan secretly thought: "If I could slay several dozen universe overlords in one go—even if they're all relatively poor ones—I estimate I could earn over a hundred treasure points!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately called out: "Hearing Shenlan!"

The intelligent life Hearing Shenlan quickly responded: "Master!"

"Gather all the data on every universe overlord currently within the Northern Frontier Alliance!"

Lu Qingshan quickly instructed: "Next, I want to pick through them one by one and select those targets that are easiest to deal with!"

At this time, the Northern Frontier Alliance had only been founded for a relatively short period; if it were any other super force, they probably would have no way to obtain such detailed information.

However, the human race, possessing the Virtual Universe, is absolutely the best-informed in the entire Primordial Universe.

Especially since the founding of the Northern Frontier Alliance has an enormous impact on the human race, the intelligence department collected a great deal of information in an extremely short time.

For instance, which races are included in the Northern Frontier Alliance, which powerhouses are within these races, and what abilities these powerhouses possess…

Of course, the information gathered by the human race is really only a rough overview, and this information is constantly changing. To fully confirm an enemy's strength and abilities, one still has to actually cross hands with them to find out!

"Yes, Master!" the intelligent life Hearing Shenlan quickly responded.

In just a brief moment…

"Master, the relevant data has been fully gathered!"

The intelligent life Hearing Shenlan quickly answered: "The information on all universe overlords within the Northern Frontier Alliance is here, including their growth records, numerous battle records, as well as strength assessments, life-preserving treasures, and so on!"

Whoosh!

As soon as the intelligent life Hearing Shenlan finished speaking, a virtual screen immediately appeared before Lu Qingshan.

"Mm!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then began browsing through the information on these universe overlords one by one.

And just as Lu Qingshan was selecting suitable prey for himself, Zifeng Zunzhe suddenly arrived at his residence to pay a visit.

"Senior Brother Zifeng!"

Lu Qingshan quickly welcomed Zifeng Zunzhe into the residence's living room, then waved his hand and presented numerous fine wines and delicacies.

"Junior Brother Qingshan!"

Zifeng Zunzhe raised his wine cup in a gesture, and after draining the fine wine in his cup in one gulp, said somewhat sheepishly: "I'm ashamed to say this, but the main reason I've come to find you this time is to take back that domain-type supreme treasure, the Black Wind Sea, that I previously lent you!"

Hearing Zifeng Zunzhe's words, Lu Qingshan was not at all surprised in his heart.

After all, this operation against the Northern Frontier Alliance is a once-in-an-eternity opportunity, and it also allows one to contribute to the race. With Zifeng Zunzhe's strength, he naturally would want to find a way to strike against the other powerhouses of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately asked: "Senior Brother Zifeng, are you also planning to deal with those universe Venerables of the Northern Frontier Alliance?"

"That's right!"

Zifeng Zunzhe quickly nodded and said: "After the founding of the Northern Frontier Alliance this time, the threat to our human race is still very great. I also want to do my part for the race, which is why I want to take back the treasures I lent out!"

"This time it counts as me, your senior brother, breaking my promise first, so let all the rewards we previously agreed upon be voided. You, Junior Brother, only need to return that Black Wind Sea to me!"

"Senior Brother, whatever are you saying?"

Lu Qingshan immediately said: "This founding of the Northern Frontier Alliance was an accident no one could have foreseen; naturally it cannot be counted as you, Senior Brother, breaking your promise!"

"Think back—if it hadn't been for your help, Senior Brother, how could a mere Marquis-rank Undying like me have obtained such a precious treasure, and then given my family the chance to break through to the Undying Deity realm?"

"Moreover, during my recent period of adventuring on the Primordial Star, if it hadn't been for the help of your Black Wind Sea, Senior Brother, I absolutely would not have reaped such astonishing harvests!"

"Although you plan to take back the Black Wind Sea this time, Senior Brother, the rewards that are due are still due!"

"Junior Brother, you're slapping your senior brother's face now!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Zifeng Zunzhe quickly frowned and said: "You've only had that Black Wind Sea for a few hundred years, Junior Brother—what talk is this of rewards or no rewards?"

"As for your being able to slay so many universe overlords, it's entirely because your own strength is sufficiently great; my Black Wind Sea merely played a minor supporting role!"

And so it went—Lu Qingshan wanted to give the reward, while Zifeng Zunzhe did not want to accept it.

After the two of them pulled back and forth for a while, they finally reached an agreement: Lu Qingshan ultimately still paid no reward, and it was arranged that three days later he would deliver the Black Wind Sea to Zifeng Zunzhe's residence on the headquarters continent of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Junior Brother Qingshan!"

After settling the matter of retrieving the supreme treasure, Zifeng Zunzhe quickly said: "You must also be planning to deal with those universe Venerables of the Northern Frontier Alliance this time, right? How about joining forces with your senior brother?"

"The two of us, brothers in arms, joining forces—even if we encounter some top-tier universe overlords, we can still put up a fight!"

"This…"

Hearing Zifeng Zunzhe's invitation, Lu Qingshan hesitated slightly.

In fact, with Lu Qingshan's current strength, joining forces with other powerhouses would actually be a drag on him.

However, the reason Lu Qingshan hesitated was not because of this.

Then Lu Qingshan said directly: "Senior brother, the two of us joining forces is naturally fine, but I'd also like to invite Senior Brother Yao Guang along!"

That's right!

The reason Lu Qingshan hesitated was precisely because he wanted to invite Venerable Yao Guang to act together.

After all, Venerable Yao Guang had always taken very good care of Lu Qingshan, and now that his strength had grown even greater, given the chance he naturally ought to look after Venerable Yao Guang in turn.

Moreover, teaming up with Venerable Yao Guang wouldn't take much extra time at all.

After all, Venerable Yao Guang had no ability to split his body, so once he had been through a few battles, he would naturally need time to recover his divine body.

Of course, if they could kill off a few cosmic overlords during those battles, the gains for Venerable Yao Guang would already be extremely considerable.

"Invite Junior Brother Yao Guang along?"

Zifeng Zunzhe was briefly taken aback, but then seemed to think of something, and quickly said: "That's absolutely no problem!"

"If the three of us senior and junior brothers can act together, then the operations ahead are sure to yield very impressive gains!"

In truth, Venerable Yao Guang's strength was still somewhat weaker compared to the current Lu Qingshan and Zifeng Zunzhe, and under normal circumstances Zifeng Zunzhe might not have been willing to team up with Venerable Yao Guang.

But now, with Lu Qingshan — a powerhouse who possessed the ability to split his body and whose strength matched his own — present, Zifeng Zunzhe naturally had no objections whatsoever.

Next, Lu Qingshan and Zifeng Zunzhe quickly made their way to Venerable Yao Guang's residence to invite him.

Venerable Yao Guang had originally planned to go into closed-door seclusion to create a secret art, but now that such a major event had appeared in the cosmos, he naturally had to contribute his share for the clan.

So, at the invitation of Lu Qingshan and Zifeng Zunzhe, Venerable Yao Guang only hesitated briefly before agreeing.
