Chapter 507: Undercurrents Stirring

Primordial Universe, within the human race's territory, inside the Primordial Secret Realm.

After returning from the Meng Yao Zu's core territory, the many powerful beings of the human race did not split up directly, but instead all came to the Primordial Secret Realm.

The reason for doing this was, first, to make it more convenient to act together next time; second, to avoid being ambushed by Meng Yao Zu powerhouses as had happened before.

After a bout of celebration, the powerful beings of the human race finally went their separate ways to attend to their own matters.

Some continued to familiarize themselves with newly acquired supreme treasures, some contacted old friends to help the human race resist the upcoming attacks from the Meng Yao Zu, the Zerg race, and the Machine race…

"Wanjie, Giant Axe!"

A gentle voice suddenly rang out in Lu Qingshan's mind.

Lu Qingshan, who had been sitting cross-legged in a quiet chamber cultivating, quickly opened his eyes.

"The Meng Yao Zu have a response?" The thought moved through Lu Qingshan's mind, and he immediately set off toward the residence of Hun Dun Chengzhu.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the great hall of Hun Dun Chengzhu's residence, two towering figures appeared one after the other—it was Lu Qingshan and the Founder of Giant Axe.

"Senior Uncle Hun Dun!"

Lu Qingshan and the Founder of Giant Axe exchanged a glance, then Lu Qingshan spoke first and asked, "Could it be that the three Meng Yao Zu factions have already united?"

"Exactly!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu quickly said, "Ancestor told me that his Virtual Universe has already detected several of the strongest beings of the Meng Yao Zu, the Zerg race, and the Machine race gathering together to discuss countermeasures!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan could not help but nod secretly in his heart.

Although Ancestor had already been suppressed by the Primordial Universe Origin Will, the Virtual Universe he created was simply too great a help to the human race—in some aspects, its function even surpassed that of a supreme treasure.

Although the strongest beings of the universe could rely on the ability of words becoming law to shield themselves from the Virtual Universe's detection, the very act of forcing back the Virtual Universe's probe was itself a signal!

And just then, Hun Dun Chengzhu continued, "Giant Axe, Wanjie, this time the Meng Yao Zu, the Zerg race, and the Machine race have united together. The coming war will definitely be even more intense. I think it's time for us to invite those alien-race Universe Masters within the Hong Alliance to take part in the war!"

"Not bad!"

After hearing Hun Dun Chengzhu's words, the Founder of Giant Axe beside him quickly said, "Those alien-race Universe Masters have been sheltered by our Hong Alliance for countless years. Now it's time for them to contribute a share of strength to our human race!"

"Only, this war is bound to be extremely dangerous. I'm afraid those alien races won't be willing to put in effort!"

"That's simple!"

No sooner had the Founder of Giant Axe finished speaking than Lu Qingshan quickly said, "By now, the news that our human race wiped out five Meng Yao Zu Universe Masters in a single battle has already spread throughout the Primordial Universe. The alien-race Universe Masters within the Hong Alliance must have all received the news!"

"Our human race holds such a great advantage in this war—they should be able to draw some confidence from it!"

"Beyond that, we can attract those alien-race Universe Masters with some supreme treasures and resources! With the might our human race now displays, combined with the lure of resources, those alien-race Universe Masters surely won't refuse our human race!"

"I think so too!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu quickly said, "I've already sent a message to all the alien-race Universe Masters within the Hong Alliance, inviting them to discuss important matters in Hong Alliance City. They should all have arrived by now. Shall we head over right now?"

"No problem!"

"Good!"

After hearing Hun Dun Chengzhu's words, Lu Qingshan and the Founder of Giant Axe quickly said, then directly connected their consciousness to the Virtual Universe and hurried to the council hall within Hong Alliance City.

……

Virtual Universe, Hong Alliance City, inner city.

In an extremely vast great hall, more than twenty figures were currently in conversation.

These figures came in all manner of forms—energy-type lifeforms, plant-type lifeforms, flesh-type lifeforms, rock-type lifeforms, and so on…

These were all alien-race Universe Masters within the Hong Alliance. Any one of them was a leader of a major powerful race. Taking the human race, a peak race, as their core, they occupied an extremely high status within the Primordial Universe.

"You've all heard, haven't you!"

An alien-race Universe Master with wings on his back raised his wine cup to invite everyone to drink together, then said with a smile, "Just recently, the Founder of Giant Axe led a group of powerful beings of the human race into the core territory of the Meng Yao Zu and wiped out five Meng Yao Zu Universe Masters in a single battle!"

"I've heard of this too!"

Another alien-race Universe Master quickly said, "The Meng Yao Zu certainly won't take this lying down. War between the human race and the Meng Yao Zu is bound to break out again!"

"Hun Dun Chengzhu inviting us here this time is probably to prepare for the coming war!"

"So what?"

A black rock giant with golden flames coiling around the surface of his body laughed heartily and said, "As members of the Hong Alliance, when the human race needs us, of course we should contribute a share of strength!"

"Lord Flint!"

Hearing the words of this black rock giant, another alien-race Universe Master beside him quickly said, "You are a special lifeform with no race that needs protection, so naturally you have far fewer concerns!"

"But for those of us who have races behind us that need protection, rashly joining the war is rather dangerous!"

"Indeed!"

Another alien-race Universe Master likewise said, "This war is nothing like the small skirmishes of the past. The Meng Yao Zu have just lost five Universe Masters—more Universe Masters may well fall in the coming war!"

"Once we fall, what will become of the races behind us?"

After hearing the words of these two Universe Masters, many of the surrounding Universe Masters could not help but nod in agreement.

Most of those who joined alliance forces were Universe Masters who had races behind them that needed protection.

After all, for lone-wolf Universe Masters, as long as they didn't provoke powerful forces, they could still roam the Primordial Universe quite freely. At most, it would be difficult to obtain some top-tier resources, so naturally there was no need to join a super force and look at others' faces.

What these Universe Masters sought by leading their races to join the Hong Alliance was stability.

After all, a peak race like the human race was something no one would normally provoke, let alone trigger a war at the Universe Master level.

But unexpectedly, the human race had now come to blows with the Meng Yao Zu, and they would certainly be drawn into it as well.

"Are you already afraid?"

Lord Flint immediately said again, "But don't forget—throughout the endless years past, it has been the human race that has been sheltering you all!"

"Without the Founder of Giant Axe, how could those fallen Universe Overlords from your respective races be revived?"

One should know that back when Lord Flint was still at the Zifeng Zunzhe realm, he had once fallen at the hands of an enemy.

If the Founder of Giant Axe had not reversed time and space to revive him back then, he would long since have perished completely, let alone broken through to the Universe Master realm.

Therefore, throughout history, the Master of Flint has always firmly followed behind the human race, and this war is no exception.

However, the other alien Universe Masters within the Hong Alliance are well aware of the Master of Flint's background, so they have long since grown accustomed to it.

Under normal circumstances, they would certainly be too lazy to argue with the Master of Flint!

But this time is different!

The coming war concerns the fate of every single Universe Master present, so even the Master of Lang'an, who has an extremely close relationship with the Master of Flint, did not utter a word in agreement.

And as these alien Universe Masters flickered through various thoughts in their minds…

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Amidst a faint trembling of space, three towering figures appeared simultaneously within the grand hall — Lu Qingshan, the Founder of the Giant Axe, and Hun Dun Chengzhu, all three connected to the Virtual Universe.

"Founder of the Giant Axe!"

"Master of Wan Jie!"

"Hun Dun Chengzhu!"

As soon as Lu Qingshan and the other two appeared, the surrounding alien Universe Masters immediately rose to greet them, each showing extreme reverence.

Lu Qingshan and the other two merely nodded slightly to the alien Universe Masters, then walked to their respective seats and sat down.

This time, however, Lu Qingshan sat alongside the Founder of the Giant Axe, their statuses appearing perfectly equal.

The many alien Universe Masters witnessing this scene were startled, their minds swirling with countless thoughts.
