Chapter 350: The Fall of Xiluo

You must understand that the human race currently has only a few thousand Cosmic Venerables.

If calculated on average, even over a time span of hundreds of millions of eras, not a single Cosmic Venerable is born.

Therefore, the birth of any Cosmic Venerable is considered a rather significant event for the entire human race.

Moreover, this time Lu Mingrui broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm after cultivating for less than ten million years; although this talent cannot compare to super geniuses like the Master of Sky Devouring Palace who broke through in mere hundreds of thousands of years, this breakthrough speed is already considered very good within the human race.

Of course, if it were merely this, it would at most interest the many Cosmic Venerables within the human race.

But Lu Mingrui is currently one of the top twenty super existences in the human race, a descendant and direct disciple of Lu Qingshan, the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe.

So after Lu Mingrui's banquet invitations were sent out, whether it was the many Cosmic Venerables of the human race or the various factions within Hong Alliance City, all have begun preparing to attend the banquet.

"I never thought our human race would produce another Cosmic Venerable so quickly!"

"I have also heard of that Lu Mingrui; hundreds of thousands of years ago, he just passed the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Domain Master level!"

"That Lu Mingrui's master is the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe, right!"

"That's right! That Lu Mingrui is both a disciple of the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe and a descendant of the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's family; the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe will definitely appear at this banquet!"

"The Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe is not only powerful himself, but even his disciples are so impressive; it is truly enviable!"

"I have never seen the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe before; this time I must go over to join the fun!"

In a remote corner of the universe, extremely far from the human territory.

In the vast starry sky, a massive continent with a diameter of ten trillion kilometers has been built here; this is the holy land of the ordinary race, the Meng Yao Zu, which occupies more than two thousand star domains surrounding it.

Of course, the more than two thousand star domains occupied by the Meng Yao Zu are completely incomparable to those star domains within the human territory.

Yet even so, the territory of the Meng Yao Zu makes countless ordinary races and weak races around them extremely envious.

In fact, if the leader of the Meng Yao Zu were not a Cosmic Hegemon, and if the Meng Yao Zu had not joined one of the super powers, the Hong Alliance Alliance, their territory would long ago have been occupied by another powerful race nearby, the 'Wenluo Race'.

Actually, at the beginning, the overall strength of the Wenluo Race was even slightly inferior to that of the Meng Yao Zu.

It was only later that a Cosmic Venerable of the Wenluo Race broke through to the Lord Realm, naturally leading the Wenluo Race to become a powerful race in the universe.

After having a Lord Realm existence stationed, the Wenluo Race quickly led their race to begin expansion, successively annihilating several weak races around them, and even seizing parts of the territory of several ordinary races.

It was precisely because the Xiluo of the Meng Yao Zu was relatively powerful, and because the Meng Yao Zu had the human race backing them, that the Lord Realm existence of the Wenluo Race did not dare to be too excessive against the Meng Yao Zu.

However, over the long past years, as the Wenluo Race continued to expand, friction with the Meng Yao Zu naturally became greater and greater.

Just as the Lu family was sending out numerous invitation emails regarding Lu Mingrui's breakthrough to the Cosmic Venerable realm, in a towering temple within the core area of the Meng Yao Zu's holy land, several figures were currently sitting together and conversing.

These figures were all elders of the Meng Yao Zu, and the one leading them was none other than Xiluo, the leader of the Meng Yao Zu.

However, what Xiluo left here was merely a divine power projection, while his true body had already gone on an adventure in a Cosmic Secret Realm.

"Klimans!"

Xiluo quickly said: "I have been wandering in the Cosmic Secret Realm recently and cannot spare any attention; this time, for that Cangming Zifeng Zunzhe's banquet, you shall lead the team to go and offer congratulations!"

"That Cangming Zifeng Zunzhe is a disciple of the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe and also a descendant of the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe's family; you must build a good relationship with him, so naturally the relationship between my Meng Yao Zu and the Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe will become closer and closer!"

"Yes, Leader!" Klimans immediately nodded and said.

For Klimans, having once guided the other party when Lu Qingshan was still a Marquis Immortal was absolutely one of the wisest things he had done in his endless past years.

You must understand that as Lu Qingshan's strength continued to grow, his status within the Hong Alliance Alliance naturally became higher and higher.

Over the long past years, the Meng Yao Zu has already secured many benefits within the Hong Alliance Alliance because of its relationship with Lu Qingshan.

For example, special treasures originally given by the human race to the various alien races within the Hong Alliance Alliance; the Meng Yao Zu could originally only receive a small portion, but because of the relationship between the Meng Yao Zu and Lu Qingshan, they could receive a larger share, and so on...

Even Klimans himself had met many powerful figures at the numerous banquets hosted by Lu Qingshan.

"The Wan Jie Zifeng Zunzhe is my Meng..."

Just as Xiluo was about to continue saying something, a look of terror suddenly flashed across his face, and immediately the entire divine power projection completely vanished.

Seeing Xiluo's divine power projection disappear, Klimans and the others nearby were all stunned.

Even one or two Cosmic Venerables took out the tokens Xiluo had left on them, discovering that those tokens had also become ownerless objects.

"This..."

"Leader!"

Klimans and the others, having realized what had happened, all wore expressions of disbelief on their faces, and then immediately contacted other elders at the Cosmic Venerable level within the race.

Moments later, all nineteen elders of the Meng Yao Zu, excluding Xiluo, had gathered in this temple.

"Everyone!"

A High Cosmic Venerable, suppressing the grief in his heart, said: "All the tokens the Leader left within the race have become ownerless objects; he must have perished!"

"Without the Leader's protection, the strength and status of our Meng Yao Zu will surely drop drastically, to the point where we may not even be qualified to occupy this current territory; let everyone speak, what should our Meng Yao Zu do next?"

"I think we should seal off the news as soon as possible!"

Another Cosmic Venerable quickly spoke: "Once the Wenluo Race learns of the news of the Leader's demise, they certainly will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will surely launch a massive invasion of our race's territory!"

"Yes!"

Another elder of the Meng Yao Zu spoke: "Although our Meng Yao Zu is a member of the Hong Alliance Alliance, that Wenluo Race previously joined the Meng Yao Zu Alliance; judging solely by background, they are in no way weaker than our Meng Yao Zu!"

"Now that the Leader has perished, with our current strength, leading the race to occupy such a vast territory has become a very difficult thing!"

"I think what we must do now is first protect the geniuses within the race!"

Klimans also spoke: "Next, we will request help from the Hong Alliance Alliance and the human race; our Meng Yao Zu has made many contributions to the Hong Alliance Alliance and the human race over endless ages; I believe they will surely help us overcome this crisis!"

You must understand that for any race, the majority of its strength and wealth is determined by its leader.

And once the leader perishes, the strength and status of the entire race will plummet; the Meng Yao Zu is exactly like this now.

After a discussion, the dozen or so elders of the Meng Yao Zu finally made the following decisions.

First: Five elders will lead the majority of the Immortal Gods within the race, some super geniuses, and a portion of important race members (elders, relatives in the Immortal God tribes, etc.) to hide within the Divine Kingdom and wait; if the Meng Yao Zu is annihilated, these people will be the spark for the Meng Yao Zu to rise again in the universe;

Second: Submit an application and request for help to the Hong Alliance Alliance and the human race, first to see if there is an opportunity to ask the Great Axe Founder of the human race to resurrect Xiluo;

Third: Send powerful figures to contact those powerful figures who are on good terms with the Meng Yao Zu, hoping those powerful figures will lend a hand to the Meng Yao Zu at this critical moment!

After these matters were settled, the many elders of the Lord Jinjiao clan immediately sprang into action.

Some began contacting the many Immortal experts within the clan to gather the people; others started reaching out to friends within the Hong Alliance; some began tallying the resources currently held by the Lord Jinjiao clan, seeing if there was a chance to request the Human Clan's high officials to resurrect Herodotus and so on...

After all, they were not experts of the Human Clan; to request the Great Axe Founder to reverse time and space and resurrect Herodotus, they would need to prepare many resources and so on in advance!
