Chapter 332: News of the Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao

In the Northern Frontier Alliance, within the territory of the Lord Liu Lan Tribe, in a stretch of empty cosmic starry sky not far from Lord Liu Lan Star.

At this moment, three enormous figures exuding vast auras stood towering in this stretch of cosmic starry sky!

Just by standing there, they seemed to be the very core of this stretch of cosmic starry sky.

Majestic, inviolable!

One of the figures was crystalline and jade-like all over, with endless starlight even swirling around its body; viewed from afar, it looked exceedingly noble and inviolable;

Another figure was a plant-like life form resembling a lotus, entirely black, with an incomparably enormous body; countless petals gathered together, reaching a diameter of several million kilometers;

The last figure was like a mass of flowing water, constantly shifting its shape every moment, looking exceedingly mysterious!

These three figures were the three strongest powerholders in the current Northern Frontier Alliance aside from the True God of the Northern Frontier — respectively the spiritual leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance's largest tribe, the Lord Liu Lan Tribe, 'Lord Liu Lan Star Lord'; the leader of the six great plant-life tribes within the Northern Frontier Alliance, 'Lord of the Black Lotus'; and the terrifyingly powerful special life-form Lord of the Universe, 'Lord of the Star River'!

All three of them possessed peak fifth-order strength; in this primordial universe, the only beings stronger than them were those lofty, strongest experts of the universe.

The reason the Northern Frontier Alliance could be established was not only because of the True God of the Northern Frontier, but also because these three were willing to unite and jointly push it forward.

"Lord Liu Lan!"

The stamen of the Lord of the Black Lotus trembled slightly, and he asked directly: "You invited me and the Lord of the Star River here this time — is there something you need?"

"Naturally there is a major matter to discuss with the two of you!"

After hearing the Lord of the Black Lotus's words, Lord Liu Lan Star Lord quickly nodded and said: "Since the founding of our Northern Frontier Alliance, we have been at war with the six superpowers — the Hong Alliance, the Meng Yao Zu Alliance, the Zerg Alliance, the Machine Race Alliance, the Prison Race Alliance, and the Crystal Race Alliance — and it has already been several thousand years!"

"During this period, although the strong experts under the Alliance have slain quite a few experts of the six superpowers, they themselves have also suffered great losses!"

"To this day, in the course of fighting these six superpowers, our Northern Frontier Alliance has already lost over nine hundred Universe Hegemons and over three thousand Universe Venerables!"

"The fallen ordinary Universe Venerables are still manageable — we Lords of the Universe can reverse time and space to resurrect them — but after Universe Hegemons fall, only the Alliance Leader can resurrect them!"

"Having resurrected so many Universe Hegemons, the Alliance Leader seems to have grown somewhat impatient and no longer wishes to keep fighting the six superpowers!"

"This…"

The Lord of the Black Lotus immediately said: "Back then, the True God of the Northern Frontier accepted a peak domain-type supreme treasure that our tribes pooled together; since he promised to shelter us, he naturally should keep his word!"

"Black Lotus!"

After hearing the Lord of the Black Lotus's words, Lord Liu Lan Star Lord quickly spoke: "The True God of the Northern Frontier is, after all, a lofty strongest expert of the universe; in this primordial universe, even those peak races dare not provoke him!"

"Although a peak domain-type supreme treasure is precious, to an expert of his level it amounts to nothing!"

"Moreover, according to the price for asking a strongest expert of the universe to resurrect a Universe Hegemon, that peak domain-type supreme treasure we offered could, at most, only allow the True God of the Northern Frontier to resurrect just over a thousand Universe Hegemons!"

"Reversing time and space to resurrect Universe Venerables does indeed require tremendous effort!"

The Lord of the Star River beside them quickly nodded and said: "In these recent thousand-plus years, I have led many Lords of the Universe within the Alliance in resurrecting those fallen ordinary Universe Venerables; even with the aid of origin-type supreme treasures, many Lords of the Universe are now feeling tremendous pressure!"

"If we don't find a way to resolve this problem soon, then let alone the Alliance Leader, I'm afraid many Lords of the Universe will also harbor great resentment, and some may even lead their tribes to break away from the Alliance!"

"When that time comes, the prestige of our Northern Frontier Alliance will plummet!"

"Hmph!"

Hearing this, the Lord of the Black Lotus could not help but snort coldly: "So many of our tribes already venerate the True God of the Northern Frontier as our Alliance Leader, yet the price he charges for resurrecting Universe Hegemons remains so high — there's really no difference from those solitary strongest experts!"

"Actually, this is already quite decent!"

Lord Liu Lan Star Lord quickly said: "At the very least, the True God of the Northern Frontier is still willing to serve as the leader of our Alliance; however, the True God of the Northern Frontier is, after all, not of our race, and is clearly very different from those strongest experts of the universe who belong to the same race as the six superpowers!"

"Then what do you two think we should do about this?"

The Lord of the Black Lotus immediately said coldly: "We went to such great lengths to establish this Northern Frontier Alliance — we can't just let it fizzle out and disband, can we?"

"At that point, regardless of how other tribes in the universe view us, I'm afraid even the experts of the six superpowers won't let the three of us who led this go!"

"This…"

For a moment, both Lord Liu Lan Star Lord and the Lord of the Star River fell somewhat silent.

In fact, when they had first considered establishing a super alliance, they had already taken many things into account; they had even planned for an extremely long stretch of time for it, and had even prepared for full-scale war with the other superpowers.

What they hadn't expected was that, when faced with the establishment of the Northern Frontier Alliance, of the eight superpowers in the primordial universe, aside from the Zushen Sect and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the other superpowers were unexpectedly so united!

Even the four peak races, who had fought each other for endless ages, as well as the Prison Race and the Crystal Race, ceased their usual infighting in order to deal with them.

Even when the human race gained an additional Lord of the Universe, the three peak races — the Meng Yao Zu, the Zerg, and the Machine Race — made no move at all.

In the past, if a new Lord of the Universe appeared in any one of the four peak races, that race would certainly have been targeted by the other three peak races for a very long time.

"Then let's just give up!"

After a long silence, the Lord of the Star River spoke directly: "In any case, with the strength of the three of us, even without establishing this Northern Frontier Alliance, no one in this primordial universe would be willing to provoke us — at most, our prestige would just be a little weaker!"

The Lord of the Star River was a unique special life-form in the universe; the reason he had previously been willing to join hands with Lord Liu Lan Star Lord and the Lord of the Black Lotus to form the Northern Frontier Alliance was merely to shelter some special life-forms and some ordinary tribes.

But in the end, those special life-forms and ordinary tribes were not his clansmen, so naturally he could not shelter and care for them the way he would his own kind.

"No!"

"That won't do!"

The moment the Lord of the Star River finished speaking, Lord Liu Lan Star Lord and the Lord of the Black Lotus beside him immediately spoke up in unison to object.

The Lord of the Star River had no clansmen, and as a fifth-order Lord of the Universe with the ability to create avatars, even if he left the Northern Frontier Alliance, the other six superpowers probably wouldn't pay an enormous price to make trouble for him!

But Lord Liu Lan Star Lord and the Lord of the Black Lotus were different!

Although the two of them also possessed the strength of fifth-order Lords of the Universe, they had many weak clansmen under them.

Once the Northern Frontier Alliance truly disbanded, their tribes would inevitably be targeted by the six superpowers; even if not completely annihilated, they would be continuously suppressed.

"Then tell me — if the six superpowers keep fighting us like this, what should we do?"

After hearing the words of Lord Liu Lan Star Lord and the other, the Lord of the Star River quickly spoke: "In one-on-one situations, our Northern Frontier Alliance at the Lord of the Universe and Universe Venerable level is enough to crush any single one of those superpowers!"

"But when those six powers unite, they have a full seven strongest experts of the universe; whether in terms of attrition or overall strength, they far surpass our Northern Frontier Alliance! Moreover, all six of those superpowers are led by peak races, so their cohesion also far exceeds that of our Northern Frontier Alliance!"

Hearing these words from the Lord of the Star River, Lord Liu Lan Star Lord and the Lord of the Black Lotus fell silent once more.

It had to be said, getting the Northern Frontier Alliance to smoothly gain recognition from the other superpowers and no longer be targeted the way they were now was an extremely difficult matter — even though they had already schemed for an immensely long stretch of time for it!

Just like that, after a long silence, Lord Liu Lan Star Lord finally spoke: "I may have a way to resolve this matter!"

"What?"

"Lord Liu Lan, what plan do you have?"

After hearing Long Xingzhu's words, the Star River Lord and the Black Lotus Lord, who were standing nearby, both showed a hint of anticipation on their faces.

If there was a chance, they naturally didn't want to give up on forming the Northern Frontier Alliance, this super faction.

However, after hearing the words of the Black Lotus Lord and the other, Long Xingzhu did not answer immediately, but directly said: "This plan of mine will cause me to suffer great losses, so if it succeeds, the alliance must compensate me for my losses in the future!" "No problem!"

"Lord Liu Lan, rest assured!"

After hearing Long Xingzhu's request, the Star River Lord and the Black Lotus Lord both nodded seriously and agreed.

But even after hearing the assurances of the Star River Lord and the Black Lotus Lord, a look of hesitation still flashed across Long Xingzhu's face. However, she finally still said: "I once encountered a domain-type supreme treasure in a dangerous place within the Inclined Peak Realm, but that dangerous place is extremely perilous. I once entered it aboard a peak palace-type supreme treasure, attempting to claim that domain-type supreme treasure, but in the end I fell within that dangerous place, and even that peak palace-type supreme treasure was lost!"

"A supreme treasure?"

After hearing Long Xingzhu's words, complex expressions instantly appeared on the faces of the Star River Lord and the Black Lotus Lord — among them shock, greed, and envy…

At first the two of them had felt Long Xingzhu was being somewhat evasive, but after hearing these words they fully understood.

One must understand that if a Lord of the Universe could possess a supreme treasure, his strength alone would be enough to step into the sixth tier — that is, the level of the strongest beings of the universe.

Unfortunately, in this Primordial Universe, the number of supreme treasures can be said to be extremely scarce. Even those strongest beings of the universe do not all possess a supreme treasure to protect themselves.

Just like the Northern Frontier True God, who currently serves as the Alliance Leader of the Northern Frontier Alliance, he does not have a supreme treasure to protect himself!

Even in the Sea of Cosmos, those strongest beings of the universe who have survived two Reincarnation Eras and had endless years to venture into various dangerous places — not every one of them possesses a supreme treasure!

And now Long Xingzhu had actually discovered the trace of a supreme treasure, and moreover a domain-type supreme treasure that was even more precious — naturally this shocked them, even made them envious.

If the ones who had discovered the trace of a supreme treasure were the two of them, they probably wouldn't even reveal this information.

"Lord Liu Lan!"

The Black Lotus Lord seemed to think of something at this moment, and quickly said: "Back then, the loss of your 'Mist Core Tower' should have been because of that supreme treasure!"

"That's right!"

Long Xingzhu quickly nodded and said: "Ever since I discovered the trace of that supreme treasure, I have always wanted to obtain it! But I failed even when I went there aboard a peak palace-type supreme treasure. To try again, I would either need to obtain a palace-type supreme treasure, or step into the level of the strongest beings of the universe!"

"Unfortunately, over the long years I have not succeeded. Now that our Northern Frontier Alliance faces such tremendous pressure, I can only choose to contribute this information!"

In fact, if she had a choice, Long Xingzhu would never have contributed the information about a supreme treasure.

It's just that originally both the Star River Lord and the Black Lotus Lord were invited by her, and the Northern Frontier True God was also invited by her. It could be said that the Northern Frontier Alliance was single-handedly formed by her, and that would not be an exaggeration.

If the Northern Frontier Alliance really disbanded, perhaps the Star River Lord and the Black Lotus Lord wouldn't be affected much, but she and the Lord Liu Lan Clan behind her would be targeted by those six super factions.

"This information is indeed very important to our Northern Frontier Alliance!"

The Black Lotus Lord quickly nodded and said: "If the Northern Frontier True God can obtain that domain-type supreme treasure, the boost to his strength will definitely be enormous. When the time comes, even if all the strongest beings of the universe from the six super factions join forces, they will only return empty-handed!"

"As long as the Northern Frontier True God strongly supports our Northern Frontier Alliance after obtaining the treasure, our Northern Frontier Alliance will be able to gain a firm foothold in this Primordial Universe!"

"Exactly!"

After hearing the Black Lotus Lord's analysis, the Star River Lord also quickly said: "Among the many solitary strongest beings, the Northern Frontier True God's character is still very decent. Once he obtains a supreme treasure with our help, he definitely won't abandon us lightly!"

"Lord Liu Lan, you're willing to provide such important information — I wonder how you'd like the alliance to compensate you?"

"This…"

Long Xingzhu quickly said: "Any supreme treasure is priceless. Especially those super factions without supreme treasures, like the current Human Race, like the Starry Sky Beast Alliance — if someone were willing to take out a supreme treasure to exchange with them, they would probably be willing to offer a large number of treasures at the peak domain-type level!"

"Although what I have is only a piece of information, since it concerns a supreme treasure, it is naturally equally priceless! So the alliance must compensate me with at least five treasures at the peak domain-type level in the future, and in the future the resources and treasures within the alliance must also be preferentially tilted toward my Lord Liu Lan Clan!"

"This…"

After hearing Long Xingzhu's words, the Star River Lord and the Black Lotus Lord couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

One must understand that apart from supreme treasures, treasures at the peak domain-type level are already the most precious.

Just like on the Primordial Star with its endless treasures, each time it opens at most one treasure at the peak domain-type level appears.

The two of them already count as the top experts below the strongest beings of the universe in this Primordial Universe, but even the combined total wealth of the two of them is roughly equivalent to only four or five treasures at the peak domain-type level.

But after thinking for a moment, the Star River Lord and the Black Lotus Lord still quickly agreed to Long Xingzhu's condition.

After all, how precious a supreme treasure is — if someone really took it out to exchange for treasures, probably even twenty or thirty treasures at the peak domain-type level could be traded for it.

Long Xingzhu was already very rare in being willing to contribute the information about a supreme treasure for the sake of the Northern Frontier Alliance, and the demands were still considered reasonable, so they naturally had to agree.

"However…"

The Black Lotus Lord quickly added: "Lord Liu Lan, if the Northern Frontier True God is unable to obtain that domain-type supreme treasure, the alliance naturally cannot compensate you!"

"Rest assured!"

Long Xingzhu quickly said: "That dangerous place poses no threat whatsoever to the strongest beings of the universe. With the Northern Frontier True God's methods, obtaining that domain-type supreme treasure will definitely be very easy!"

"Moreover, if the Northern Frontier True God cannot obtain the supreme treasure, our Northern Frontier Alliance will probably have to disband anyway, so there's no need to say more about compensation!"

"No problem!"

"I agree as well!"

After hearing Long Xingzhu's words, the Star River Lord and the Black Lotus Lord both nodded and agreed.

And after the three had discussed all this, Long Xingzhu quickly set off to find the Northern Frontier True God. As for the Star River Lord and the Black Lotus Lord, the two of them did not choose to go together.

……

Half a day later.

"Lord Liu Lan, what did you say?"

In a void space within the Northern Frontier Alliance's territory, the Northern Frontier True God looked at Long Xingzhu with a face full of surprise: "You're saying you know the information about a supreme treasure, and you're even willing to inform me of it?"

"Yes, Alliance Leader!" Long Xingzhu quickly nodded and said.

"Speak!"

After confirming that Long Xingzhu wasn't joking, the Northern Frontier True God quickly said: "Lord Liu Lan, whatever you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you!"

"Alliance Leader!"

Long Xingzhu quickly said: "I want you to always be able to hold the fort for our Northern Frontier Alliance!"

"This…"

Upon hearing Long Xingzhu's request, the True God of the Northern Frontier also hesitated somewhat, but in the end still nodded and said: "Long Lan, as long as the information you speak of is true, and it can help me obtain a domain-type supreme treasure, then I promise you I will remain stationed at the Northern Frontier Alliance, and will not interfere with any management within the Alliance!"

For the True God of the Northern Frontier, ordinarily he might still be wary of the strongest cosmic beings of the six superpowers, but if he truly obtained a domain-type supreme treasure, then it would be a different story!

So continuously sheltering the Northern Frontier Alliance at that time would naturally be no problem!
