Chapter 507: Hidden Currents Stir

In the Primitive Universe, within the territory of the human race, in the Primitive Secret Realm.

After returning from the core territory of the demon race, the many powerful beings of the human race did not immediately depart but all gathered within the Primitive Secret Realm.

They did this for two reasons: first, to make future joint operations more convenient; second, to avoid being ambushed by demon race elites as they had been before.

After a round of celebrations, the powerful beings of the human race finally dispersed to attend to their own affairs.

Some continued to familiarize themselves with their newly acquired supreme treasures; others reached out to allies to help the human race resist the impending attacks from the demon race, insect race, and machine race.

“Wanjie, Ju Fu!”

A gentle voice suddenly sounded in Lu Qingshan’s mind.

Lu Qingshan, who had been meditating in a quiet chamber, quickly opened his eyes.

“Has the demon race responded?” Lu Qingshan’s thoughts shifted, and he immediately headed toward the residence of the Chaos City Lord.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the grand hall of the Chaos City Lord’s residence, two towering figures appeared one after the other—Lu Qingshan and the Ju Fu Founder.

“Chaos Uncle!”

Lu Qingshan and the Ju Fu Founder exchanged glances, then Lu Qingshan spoke first: “Have the demon race, insect race, and machine race united?”

“Correct!”

The Chaos City Lord quickly said: “Yuan Zu told me his Virtual Universe has detected several supreme cosmic beings from the demon race, insect race, and machine race gathering to discuss their strategy!”

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan silently nodded in agreement.

Although Yuan Zu had been suppressed by the primordial will of the Primitive Universe, his Virtual Universe had provided immense aid to the human race—so much so that in some aspects, its value surpassed even a supreme treasure.

Though supreme cosmic beings could use their ability to command reality to block the Virtual Universe’s surveillance, their very act of forcing it away was a signal!

At that moment, the Chaos City Lord continued: “Ju Fu, Wanjie, now that the demon race, insect race, and machine race have united, the coming war will be far more intense. I believe it is time we invite the alien cosmic lords of the Hong Alliance to join the war!”

“Agreed!”

Upon hearing the Chaos City Lord’s words, the Ju Fu Founder quickly spoke: “These alien cosmic lords have been protected by our Hong Alliance for countless eons—it is time they contributed strength to the human race!”

“But this war will be extremely dangerous; I fear these alien lords may refuse to fight.”

“That’s simple!”

No sooner had the Ju Fu Founder finished than Lu Qingshan spoke: “The news that our human race has slain five alien cosmic lords in a single battle has already spread throughout the Primitive Universe—all the alien cosmic lords in the Hong Alliance must have heard it!”

“With our current overwhelming advantage in this war, it should give them some confidence!”

“Beyond that, we can attract them with supreme treasures and resources! With our current prestige and the lure of resources, I doubt any alien cosmic lord will refuse us!”

“I think the same!”

The Chaos City Lord quickly said: “I’ve already sent messages to all the alien cosmic lords in the Hong Alliance, inviting them to discuss matters in Hong Alliance City. They’ve likely arrived by now—shall we go?”

“No problem!”

“Good!”

Hearing the Chaos City Lord’s words, Lu Qingshan and the Ju Fu Founder spoke at once, then directly linked their consciousnesses to the Virtual Universe and headed for the Grand Assembly Hall in Hong Alliance City.

……

Virtual Universe, Hong Alliance City, Inner City.

In a vast hall, over twenty figures were conversing.

These figures took many forms: energy-based life, plant-based life, flesh-based life, rock-based life, and more…

All were alien cosmic lords of the Hong Alliance—each a leader of a mighty race, holding high status in the Primitive Universe with the human race as their core.

“You’ve all heard, haven’t you?”

An alien cosmic lord with twin wings raised his cup and invited everyone to drink, then smiled: “Not long ago, the Ju Fu Founder led the human race’s elite into the core territory of the demon race and slew five alien cosmic lords in a single battle!”

“I’ve heard of it too!”

Another alien cosmic lord quickly spoke: “The demon race won’t surrender—the war between the human race and the demon race is inevitable.”

“The Chaos City Lord summoned us here—this must be preparation for the coming war.”

“So what?”

A black rock giant wreathed in golden flames laughed heartily: “As members of the Hong Alliance, we must lend our strength when the human race needs us!”

“Sui Shi, Lord of Fire!”

Another alien cosmic lord beside him spoke: “You’re a unique lifeform—you have no race to protect, so your concerns are far fewer.”

“But we who carry races needing protection risk everything by joining this war!”

“Indeed!”

Another alien cosmic lord added: “This war isn’t like the minor skirmishes before—the demon race just lost five cosmic lords; more may fall this time.”

“What happens to our races if we perish?”

Hearing these two cosmic lords, many others nodded in agreement.

Most who joined the alliance were cosmic lords with races needing protection.

After all, lone cosmic lords, if they avoided powerful factions, could roam the Primitive Universe freely—losing access to top-tier resources was the worst they faced, so there was no need to join a superpower and bow to others.

These cosmic lords brought their races into the Hong Alliance for stability.

After all, a peak race like the human race was never provoked—and certainly never dragged into cosmic lord-level wars.

Yet now, the human race has clashed with the demon race—and they will inevitably be drawn in.

“Are you afraid now?”

Sui Shi immediately spoke again: “But don’t forget—through countless eons, it has been the human race protecting you!”

“Without the Ju Fu Founder, how would your races’ fallen cosmic overlords have been revived?”

Sui Shi himself had once been a Cosmic Elder when he died in battle.

Had the Ju Fu Founder not reversed time and space to revive him, he would have perished utterly—let alone reached the cosmic lord realm.

Thus, Sui Shi had always firmly stood behind the human race—and this war was no exception.

But the other alien cosmic lords in the Hong Alliance knew Sui Shi’s history well—they were used to it.

Under normal circumstances, they’d never bother arguing with him!

But this time was different!

The coming war affected the fate of every cosmic lord present—even Lang An, Sui Shi’s closest ally, remained silent.

And as these alien cosmic lords pondered their thoughts…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As space trembled slightly, three towering figures appeared simultaneously in the grand hall—Lu Qingshan, the Ju Fu Founder, and the Chaos City Lord, their consciousnesses linked through the Virtual Universe.

“Ju Fu Founder!”

“Wanjie, Lord of Ten Thousand Realms!”

“Chaos City Lord!”

The moment Lu Qingshan and the others appeared, the alien cosmic lords rose at once, greeting them with deep respect.

Lu Qingshan and the others nodded slightly in return, then took their seats.

This time, however, Lu Qingshan sat beside the Ju Fu Founder—his status clearly equal.

Seeing this, the surrounding alien cosmic lords were startled, their minds swirling with thoughts.
