Chapter 438: Time Flows By — Delivering Components

Above a vast grassland on Primitive Star No. 07353.

At this moment, a supreme treasure radiating an intense aura was being born here, yet the Universe Zifeng Zunzhe active in the surrounding area did not dare approach at all.

Because what was being born this time was a high-grade supreme treasure weapon, and a Lord of the Universe was also stationed on this Primitive Star!

In truth, if it were an ordinary Lord of the Universe, as long as the distance from the treasure's birth region was fairly far, a powerful Universe Overlord might still take the risk and snatch the prize from right under the Lord of the Universe's nose.

After all, the environment on a Primitive Star was special; even when a Lord of the Universe struck, if the distance was relatively far, they could only rely on the ability to control a region of spacetime, or the might of a domain-type supreme treasure.

Once these methods failed to inflict effective damage on the Universe Overlord snatching the treasure, the Lord of the Universe could only chase after and seize the treasure by flying slowly.

And vortex passages leading to other Primitive Stars existed everywhere on Primitive Stars, so those Universe Overlords also had a certain chance of escaping after snatching these precious supreme treasures.

But on this Primitive Star No. 07353, not a single Universe Zifeng Zunzhe dared to take such a risk — even the top-tier Universe Overlords were no exception.

Because the one stationed on this Primitive Star was the renowned super-powerful expert throughout the entire vast universe — the Lord of Wan Jie, Lu Qingshan.

One must understand that Lu Qingshan possessed a top-tier domain-type supreme treasure; with but a single thought, it could spread across the entire Primitive Star.

Once, a Universe Overlord whose information was not well-informed had tried to snatch a treasure right under Lu Qingshan's nose, but Lu Qingshan had not even needed to act personally — that Universe Overlord had already fallen under the terrifying might of the God-Slaying Array Diagram.

Of course, if the treasure being born were precious enough, other Lords of the Universe would also rush over to compete for it.

Just like several hundred thousand years ago, when a high-grade palace-type supreme treasure was born on this Primitive Star, several Lords of the Universe had hurried over at that time.

Even though Lu Qingshan's strength was astonishing, in the special environment of a Primitive Star, once the distance from the born treasure was relatively far, it was still possible for other Lords of the Universe to snatch the treasure away.

That high-grade palace-type supreme treasure from several hundred thousand years ago was exactly such a case — in the end, it was seized by a Lord of the Universe from the Prison Race working together with companions.

However, what was being born this time was merely a high-grade supreme treasure weapon, and Lu Qingshan's strength was so terrifying that naturally no one dared to fight him for the treasure.

Hum!

Accompanied by a slight trembling of the surrounding space, this high-grade supreme treasure battle saber had fully emerged.

One saw streaks of hazy Jin Guang instantly wrap around this fully emerged supreme treasure battle saber, then carry the battle saber as it flew off in one direction.

And in the direction the battle saber was heading, a figure clad in dark-gold battle armor was rapidly approaching at sub-light speed — it was the fully armed Lu Qingshan.

Several minutes later, Lu Qingshan finally approached the supreme treasure battle saber that was being carried toward him by the domain of the God-Slaying Array Diagram.

Whoosh!

One saw Lu Qingshan wave his hand, and the supreme treasure battle saber quickly arrived in his grasp.

After a wisp of divine power seeped into the supreme treasure battle saber, Lu Qingshan instantly completed the master-recognizing process, and then a stream of ancient information surged into his mind.

"A high-grade supreme treasure battle saber!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself: "Contributing it to the clan's treasure vault should be worth twenty treasure points — not a bad haul!"

Twenty treasure points amounted to nothing much for the current Lu Qingshan, yet a faint smile still appeared on his face.

Because even for a Lord of the Universe, accumulating resources was no easy matter; although his current wealth was substantial, aside from a few rather good fortuitous encounters, most of his resources had been accumulated bit by bit like this.

If it were an ordinary Lord of the Universe, being able to accumulate resources worth several hundred treasure points during the ten million years of a single Primitive Star opening would already be considered quite a remarkable feat.

Moreover, after accumulating enough resources, they still had to expend great effort exchanging them for the treasures best suited to themselves.

"What a pity, as time goes by, the treasures being born on this Primitive Star are becoming fewer and fewer!"

After casually storing the just-acquired supreme treasure battle saber into his portable world ring, Lu Qingshan recalled silently: "These recent years I've been camping on this Primitive Star, and the last time I encountered a high-grade supreme treasure being born was already over two hundred thousand years ago!"

"As for scenes of top-tier supreme treasure weapons being born, those have become rarer and rarer too. Within the last hundred thousand years, I've only received news three times, and only once was it relatively close to me — but in the end, it was still beaten to the punch by powerful experts from other forces!"

One must understand that at this point, over four million years had already passed since the Primitive Star's opening.

Compared to previous Primitive Star openings, generally after one million years from the opening, the quality and quantity of treasures being born would noticeably decline.

This time, perhaps because the Zushen Sect had once conveyed the will of the Primordial Universe's origin, the quality and quantity of treasures being born on the Primitive Star had only now begun to show an obvious decrease.

In the past, ordinary supreme treasures would appear from time to time, and occasionally high-grade supreme treasures would appear as well;

Now, even the frequency of ordinary supreme treasures appearing had greatly decreased — not even comparable to the previous frequency of high-grade supreme treasures appearing.

Of course, every Primitive Star opening would always produce one most precious treasure, equivalent in tier to a peak domain-type supreme treasure, and this time was naturally no exception.

What was being born this time was a peak palace-type supreme treasure; its divine palace emerged two million years after the Primitive Star's opening, with a total of thirty-six tokens.

This time, the Human Race did not obtain a single token, and so did not participate in the contest.

And in the contest over this peak palace-type supreme treasure, three of the universe's strongest experts also participated, but the one who ultimately obtained the treasure was a fifth-tier Lord of the Universe from the Prison Race — the Prison King, who had existed since the dawn of the universe.

After the divine palace closed, with the reception by the Prison Race's Demon Ancestor and other Lords of the Universe of the Prison Race, the Prison King naturally returned to his race very smoothly with the treasure.

Of course, during the past several million years, the Human Race, the Insect Race, and the Machine Race, in order to probe the true strength of the Meng Yao Zu, had greatly reduced the conflicts among the three parties.

Especially at the Universe Zifeng Zunzhe stage, unless there was a major conflict of interest, battles rarely occurred.

And the Meng Yao Zu alliance, due to the targeting by the Human Race, the Insect Race, and the Machine Race, could be said to have suffered extremely heavy losses.

Among them, including many foreign races, the Meng Yao Zu alliance had directly lost over two thousand Universe Zifeng Zunzhe during this period; fortunately, with many Lords of the Universe present, all these fallen Universe Zifeng Zunzhe had been resurrected through spacetime reversal.

But Universe Overlords were a different story!

During this period, the Meng Yao Zu alliance had lost a total of over three hundred Universe Overlords, and fourteen top-tier Universe Overlords!

Among these fallen experts, those belonging to the Meng Yao Zu's own race numbered only over eighty Universe Overlords and six top-tier Universe Overlords; as for the rest, they were foreign-race experts within the Meng Yao Zu alliance.

And as of today, none of these fallen Universe Overlords and top-tier Universe Overlords had been resurrected through spacetime reversal.

Precisely because of this, the experts of the Human Race, the Insect Race, and the Machine Race had become even more unrestrained when encountering Meng Yao Zu experts, and had even frequently joined forces in groups to hunt down experts of the Meng Yao Zu alliance.

After all, while roaming the Primitive Stars, encountering the birth of a treasure was a matter of chance, but hunting down Meng Yao Zu alliance experts could be actively sought out.

Under the generous rewards from the three races' higher-ups, as long as one dared to risk one's life, the gains were far greater than slowly searching for treasures!

And under the large-scale hunting by the three forces, the experts of the Meng Yao Zu alliance had also become far more cautious, and many of the relatively weaker experts had already stopped daring to roam the Primitive Stars.

After all, although the Meng Yao Zu's own race had slightly more Universe Overlords than the Human Race, they only numbered just over four hundred; yet now over eighty had directly fallen, and could not be resurrected through spacetime reversal;

Although the Meng Yao Zu alliance had many Universe Overlords, the fact that they could not be resurrected was enough to make countless foreign races within the Meng Yao Zu alliance shrink back in fear.

And just as various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, he suddenly received a message from the Lord of Hukou of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

"A message from Hukou?"

Upon receiving the message, Lu Qingshan's mind stirred; his Endless Divine Sea avatar within the divine kingdom immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe, and then hurried to the Lord of Hukou's residence within Hong Alliance City.

……

In a luxurious mansion within the inner city of the Primordial Universe's Hong Alliance City.

"Lord Huang Jian!"

Lu Qingshan stepped into the mansion's great hall and soon saw the Lord of Lord Huang Jian, seated in the place of honor.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Lu Qingshan appear, the Lord of Lord Huang Jian quickly rose with warmth to greet him: "Wanjie, you've come so quickly?"

"I wouldn't dare refuse Lord Huang Jian's invitation!"

After he and the Lord of Lord Huang Jian took their seats as host and guest, Lu Qingshan smiled and quipped a line, then asked: "Lord Huang Jian, you asked me to come over this time — is there something you need?"

"Wanjie!"

The Lord of Lord Huang Jian waved his hand and sent forth a great spread of fine wines and delicacies for Lu Qingshan, then said with a smile: "I contacted you this time because there really is something I'd like to ask Wanjie to help me with!"
