Chapter 499: The Clan Ascension Plan

"I have now created a Level Six top-tier secret technique, which can unleash Level Six top-tier power when used with a peak-level treasure!"

After hearing the Axe Creator’s question, Lu Qing quickly spoke: "This level of power is merely decent in the Cosmic Sea, but in the Primitive Universe, it has already reached the maximum allowable power limit of the Primitive Universe!"

After hearing Lu Qing’s words, the surrounding human race elites all nodded slightly.

Countless lifeforms within the Primitive Universe were born from it, like children of the universe, naturally favored by its grace.

Whether ordinary life, special life, immortal deities, cosmic sovereigns, or even cosmic masters—all are subject to this favor!

Ordinary lifeforms who fully comprehend a lower-tier fundamental law have a chance to break through to the immortal deity realm;

Those who comprehend 'teleportation' can teleport;

Once becoming a cosmic master, one can control a region of space-time, even reverse time-space to resurrect the fallen...

All these things are gifts bestowed by the universe’s origin.

Gifts of infinite divine power, control over space-time, and even innate secret techniques!

But once one crosses from cosmic master into the realm of the universe’s strongest, this no longer holds true!

After becoming the universe’s strongest, one is generally suppressed and restrained by the universe—this is true in the Cosmic Sea, let alone in the Primitive Universe.

In the Primitive Universe, every universe’s strongest is heavily suppressed; their maximum power is capped at Level Six top-tier.

Moreover, if a universe’s strongest dares to strike down a cosmic master or even a cosmic sovereign, they will be punished by the universe’s origin!

Lu Qing has created a Level Six top-tier secret technique; in the Primitive Universe, he can indeed be regarded as a universe’s strongest.

"But..."

As the human race’s elites pondered various thoughts, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance’s Huang Jianzhi could not help speaking: "If you, Wanjie, break through to the universe’s strongest realm, you could unleash far greater power in the Cosmic Sea!"

Hearing Huang Jianzhi’s words, those around him nodded again slightly.

Although Lu Qing previously escaped unscathed from the Primordial Star Beast Ancestor, that was only because the Primordial Star Beast Ancestor was severely restricted.

The restrictions faced by the universe’s strongest usually only appear when fighting cosmic masters.

When traveling normally through the Cosmic Sea, these restrictions do not apply.

For example, in dangerous regions, even a cosmic master clad in supreme treasure armor may face fatal peril—but a universe’s strongest, clad in peak-level treasure armor, can withstand it!

"Huang Jian is absolutely right!"

Lu Qing nodded in agreement: "But I myself intend to break through via the divine power path, and our current cycle era is still in the early stage of the Primitive Universe’s evolution—I believe our human race’s focus must remain within the Primitive Universe!"

"I currently possess three free-moving avatars, and one divine sea avatar with a diameter exceeding eight hundred billion kilometers!"

"If I choose to break through into the universe’s strongest realm, all my avatars must merge into one—then I would be left with only a single ordinary universe’s strongest power!"

"But if I do not break through now, I can fully unleash three Level Six top-tier powers—and even if an avatar perishes, I can regenerate it anew!"

Hearing Lu Qing’s words, the surrounding human race elites silently nodded in agreement.

When a cosmic master breaks through to the universe’s strongest realm, their divine realm evolves into a miniature universe, and all avatars must merge into one, becoming their true body.

Just as ordinary lifeforms, upon breaking through to immortal deity, fully transform their bodies into divine power—so too do cosmic sovereigns and cosmic masters, whose bodies are entirely composed of infinite divine power.

But upon breaking through to the universe’s strongest realm, one returns to the origin.

Those originally flesh-based remain flesh-based; those originally energy-based remain energy-based...

Moreover, all avatars must merge into one.

Thus, the universe’s strongest have no avatars at all—only the ability to split off minor divine power incarnations.

A cosmic master without avatar abilities can break through normally; but one with avatars inevitably feels regret when ascending to the universe’s strongest.

"And everyone must understand!"

Lu Qing spoke again swiftly: "My three avatars, each with Level Six top-tier power, are equivalent to three universe’s strongest within the Primitive Universe!"

"Among the four peak races, the demon race holds the largest territory, while our human race’s territory is equal to that of the mechanical race and the insect race!"

"Why does the demon race possess more territory than our three other peak races? Precisely because they have two universe’s strongest!"

"Now, with my three avatars plus the Axe Creator, we have four universe’s strongest powers—equal to the combined total of the demon race, insect race, and mechanical race!"

"With this opportunity, our human race can launch a territorial war to seize territory even larger than the demon race’s!"

Exactly!

Lu Qing convened this Axe Meeting not only to explain he had not obtained a supreme treasure, but more importantly to discuss territorial expansion with the human race’s other elites.

Only by securing broader territory can more geniuses and stronger beings emerge.

When Lu Qing was still an immortal deity or cosmic sovereign, even if he wished to make the human race develop better than in the original timeline, he lacked the power to do so.

After all, a single immortal deity, cosmic sovereign, or even an ordinary cosmic master could hardly influence such a grand scheme.

His initial attempt was spending great effort to subjugate the demon race’s Youmo Sovereign.

Although the human race suffered some losses then, compared to gaining an additional cosmic master, those losses were negligible.

Later, he obtained the legacy left behind by the Fire Void Beast God Fen Kong in the Cosmic Sea, triggering even greater transformations within humanity—more warriors now cultivate the Beast God Path, and even the Xingyu Demon Lord, who in the original timeline remained one of the top cosmic overlords when Luo Feng rose, successfully broke through to the level of cosmic master.

Now, his goal is to secure for the human race territory larger than that of the original timeline!

On the other side, after hearing Lu Qing’s words, the human race’s many elites froze, then each face lit up with anticipation and excitement.

"Territorial expansion?"

"Wanjie, do you have confidence?"

"Hahaha! I say we should’ve done this long ago!"

"Yes! With so many cosmic masters emerging recently, I’ve long wanted to expand further!"

Instantly, the human race’s many cosmic masters grew excited.

As pillars of the human race, they naturally wished for its growing strength—and territory was the most vital of all.

The four peak races constantly fought each other precisely for territory.

Among the nine peak forces, the Ancestral God Sect and the Primordial Star Beast Alliance were relatively detached, as they claimed no territory at all.

The Ancestral God Sect primarily recruited powerful cultivators from various factions, showing complete indifference to territorial control;

The Primordial Star Beasts were few in number, needing no territory—or rather, the entire universe was their territory; only after reaching immortal deity status were they summoned to the Primordial Star Beast Alliance’s sacred land.

"Wanjie!"

The Axe Creator on the main seat quickly asked: "What is your plan? Will you wage war against the demon race, insect race, and mechanical race—or expand into the frontier regions?"

Hearing the Axe Creator’s words, all other human race elites turned to Lu Qing.

The human race had two general methods for territorial expansion.

One was to seize territory from the demon race, insect race, and mechanical race;

The other was to expand in other directions, occupying territory belonging to powerful or even ordinary races.

Compared to seizing territory from the demon, insect, and mechanical races, taking land from weaker or ordinary races was far simpler—and we might even ally with those three races to expand outward together.
