Chapter 499

"I have now created a top-tier sixth-rank secret technique; with a peak supreme treasure, I can wield the strength of a top-tier sixth-rank!"

After hearing the Giant Axe Founder's question, Lu Qingshan quickly spoke: "Such strength is merely decent in the Sea of Universes, but within the Primordial Universe, it has already reached the maximum power limit allowed by the Primordial Universe!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the experts of the surrounding Human Race all nodded slightly.

Countless lives within the Primordial Universe are nurtured by the Primordial Universe itself; like children of the universe, they naturally receive the universe's favor.

This applies whether they are ordinary lives, special lives, Immortal Gods, Universe Venerables, or even Lords of the Universe!

Ordinary lives who comprehend a lower-level Origin Law have the chance to break through to the Immortal God realm;

Those who comprehend 'Teleportation' can then teleport;

Those who become Lords of the Universe can control a region of space-time, or even reverse space-time to resurrect those who have fallen, and so on...

Each of these, every single one, is a gift from the Origin of the Universe!

It grants endless divine power, grants control over space-time, and even bestows certain innate secret techniques and so on!

But once one crosses from Lord of the Universe into the Strongest Being of the Universe realm, it is no longer so!

After becoming the Strongest Being of the Universe, one is generally suppressed and constrained by the universe; this is true even in the Sea of Universes, let alone within the Primordial Universe.

Within the Primordial Universe, every Strongest Being of the Universe suffers immense suppression, and the strongest strength they can wield is merely top-tier sixth-rank.

Furthermore, if a Strongest Being of the Universe attacks and kills a Lord of the Universe, or even a Universe Venerable, they will be punished by the Origin of the Universe!

Lu Qingshan created a top-tier sixth-rank secret technique; within the Primordial Universe, he can indeed be regarded as a Strongest Being of the Universe.

"But..."

Just as various thoughts flashed through the minds of the Human Race's many experts, the Lord of the Void of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, Huang Jian, could not help but say: "If you, Wan Jie, break through to the Strongest Being of the Universe realm, you could wield even greater strength in the Sea of Universes!"

Hearing Huang Jian's words, the crowd around nodded slightly once more.

Do not think that Lu Qingshan's previous ability to withdraw unscathed from the Ancestor of the Starry Sky Beasts meant he was unrestricted; that was because the Ancestor of the Starry Sky Beasts was under immense restriction.

And the restrictions suffered by the Strongest Being of the Universe generally only appear when fighting a Lord of the Universe.

When wandering the Sea of Universes in normal times, one does not suffer these restrictions.

For instance, in dangerous places, even a Lord of the Universe wearing armor of the strongest supreme treasure would face fatal danger, but if it were a Strongest Being of the Universe wearing armor of a peak supreme treasure, they could withstand it!

"Huang Jian's words are indeed correct!"

Lu Qingshan nodded and said: "However, I myself wish to attempt breaking through via the Divine Power path, and since our current cycle era is still in the early stages of the Primordial Universe's evolution, I believe the focus of our Human Race must remain within the Primordial Universe!"

"I currently possess three avatars capable of independent action, and one Divine Sea avatar with a diameter already reaching over eight hundred billion kilometers!"

"If I choose to cross into the Strongest Being of the Universe realm, all avatars must merge into one; at that time, I would be left with only the combat power of a single, ordinary Strongest Being of the Universe!"

"But if I do not break through now, I can fully wield the combat power of three top-tier sixth-rank avatars; moreover, even if an avatar falls, it can be nurtured again!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the experts of the surrounding Human Race also could not help but nod inwardly.

When a Lord of the Universe breaks through to the Strongest Being of the Universe realm, their Divine Kingdom evolves into a small universe, and all avatars must merge into one, becoming their original body.

Just as ordinary lives completely transform into divine power after breaking through to the Immortal God realm, Universe Venerables and Lords of the Universe do the same; their bodies are entirely composed of endless divine power.

However, upon breaking through to the Strongest Being of the Universe realm, one returns to the source.

Those who were originally flesh-and-blood lives remain flesh-and-blood lives after breaking through; those who were originally energy lives remain energy lives...

Moreover, all avatars must merge into one.

Therefore, the Strongest Being of the Universe has no avatars at all; at most, they can only create some divine power manifestations.

For a Lord of the Universe without the ability to create avatars, normal breaking through is fine; but for a Lord of the Universe who possesses avatars, there will inevitably be some regret when breaking through to the Strongest Being of the Universe.

"And everyone must understand!"

Lu Qingshan quickly spoke again: "My three avatars, each possessing top-tier sixth-rank combat power, are within the Primordial Universe completely equivalent to three Strongest Beings of the Universe!"

"Currently, among the four peak races, the Meng Yao Zu has the most vast territory, while our Human Race's territory is comparable to that of the Mechanical Race and the Insect Race!"

"Is it not because the Meng Yao Zu possesses two Strongest Beings of the Universe that their territory is larger than ours and the other three peak races?"

"Now, with my three avatars combined, plus the Giant Axe, we have the combat power of four Strongest Beings of the Universe; the combined Strongest Beings of the Universe from the Meng Yao Zu, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race are merely equivalent to our Human Race!"

"Now that we have such a golden opportunity, our Human Race can fully launch a territorial war to seize territory even larger than the Meng Yao Zu's current domain!"

That is right!

The reason Lu Qingshan proactively convened the Giant Axe meeting, aside from explaining that he had not obtained a strongest supreme treasure, was more importantly to discuss expanding territory with the other experts of the Human Race.

After all, only by seizing more vast territory can more geniuses and more experts be born.

Previously, when Lu Qingshan was still at the Immortal God or Universe Venerable realm, even if he wanted the Human Race to develop better than in the original story, he had the will but lacked the power.

After all, a single Immortal God, a single Universe Venerable, or even an ordinary Lord of the Universe finds it very difficult to influence such grand matters.

Back then, Lu Qingshan spending much effort to enslave the You Mo Zifeng Zunzhe of the Meng Yao Zu was his first attempt.

Although the Human Race suffered some losses at that time, compared to gaining an additional Lord of the Universe, those losses seemed somewhat negligible.

Later, when he obtained the inheritance left behind by the Fire Void Beast God 'Fen Kong' in the Sea of Universes, even more changes occurred within the Human Race; not only did the number of experts cultivating the Beast God Dao increase, but even the Xingyu Mozhu, who remained a top-tier universe hegemon when Luo Feng rose in the original story, successfully broke through to the Lord of the Universe realm.

And now, what he must do is make the Human Race seize territory even more vast than in the original story!

On the other side, after hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the many experts of the Human Race immediately froze, and then expressions of anticipation and excitement appeared on everyone's faces.

"Expanding territory?"

"Wan Jie, are you confident?"

"Hahaha! I say we should have done this long ago!"

"Yes! Recently, so many Lords of the Universe have appeared in our Human Race; I have long wanted to continue expanding our territory!"

In an instant, the many Lords of the Universe of the Human Race became excited.

As the pillars of the Human Race, they certainly hope the Human Race grows stronger and stronger, and territory is naturally the most important factor.

The reason the four peak races fight endlessly with each other is for territory!

Among the nine peak powers, the Zushen Sect and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance are relatively transcendent because they do not occupy any territory at all.

The Zushen Sect mostly absorbs experts from various factions and pays no attention to territory whatsoever;

And the number of Star Beasts is relatively small, so they don't really need territories—or rather, the entire universe is their territory. Star Beasts are only guided to the holy land of the Star Beast Alliance after breaking through to the realm of Undying Divine Spirits.

"Ten Thousand Realms!"

The Giant Axe Founder on the main seat quickly spoke up and asked: "What do you plan to do—go to war with the Meng Yao Zu, the Bug Race, and the Machine Race, or continue expanding territory in the border regions?"

Hearing the Giant Axe Founder's words, the other powerhouses of the human race all looked toward Lu Qingshan.

For the human race to expand territory, there are generally two methods.

One is to seize territory from the Meng Yao Zu, the Bug Race, and the Machine Race;

The other is to expand in a different direction, occupying the territories of powerful races—or even ordinary races.

Relatively speaking, seizing territory from those powerful races and ordinary races is far easier than seizing territory from the Meng Yao Zu, the Bug Race, and the Machine Race. It might even be possible to ally with the Meng Yao Zu, the Bug Race, and the Machine Race to expand outward together.
