Chapter 81: Two Years Later, Time Reversed

Lu Qingshan is merely a Marquis-level Immortal now, so naturally he cannot know the great events happening on the Original Star.

Having received a new mission, he immediately departed with his ten subordinates, heading for the Yan Shen Secret Realm within the Yan Shen Universe Country.

Thus, time passed continuously; in the blink of an eye, nearly two more years had gone by.

In the Dark Universe, a blood-red triangular spaceship was advancing rapidly at fifty times the speed of light.

Inside the spaceship's control room sat a crystal-clear dining table, yet only one figure clad in dark golden battle armor, radiating an Immortal aura, sat beside it, while the other ten Boundary Masters who had received the acknowledgment of the Origin Laws could only stand respectfully by and wait.

These eleven figures were naturally Lu Qingshan, who had accepted the Transport Department's new mission, and his ten subordinate Boundary Masters.

"Dolores!"

Lu Qingshan drained the fine wine in his cup, then looked at a female Boundary Master and asked, "How much longer until we reach Yan Shen Star!"

"My lord!"

Dolores quickly replied, "We have now entered the Yan Shen Secret Realm. According to the coordinates sent internally by the company, we can perform a universe jump shortly, and then it will take half a day to reach Yan Shen Star!"

"Hmm!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

As the core of the Yan Shen Clan lineage, the coordinates surrounding Yan Shen Star are completely concealed by secret techniques, so corresponding coordinates cannot be found in the Dark Universe at all.

To reach Yan Shen Star, one must shuttle back to the Original Universe via several designated coordinates, and only after passing the assessment of Yan Shen Clan experts can one proceed to Yan Shen Star.

Soon, the voice of the intelligent lifeform Hearing Shenlan sounded in the spaceship's control room: "Universe jump imminent. 10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1!"

The moment Hearing Shenlan finished speaking, the entire spaceship trembled slightly, and after a moment, it returned to normal!

"Universe jump complete!" The voice of the intelligent lifeform Hearing Shenlan sounded again.

"This is my first time in the Yan Shen Secret Realm!"

Lu Qingshan smiled and ordered, "Hearing Shenlan, activate external scene simulation!"

The surrounding scenery instantly changed; the area around the spaceship seemed to become transparent, allowing Lu Qingshan and the others to see the external scene clearly.

Soon, a streak of light flew rapidly from nearby, transforming into the figure of a Yan Shen Clan expert clad in black battle armor.

At the same time, a signal was transmitted into the interior of the spaceship.

"What fast speed!"

Having received the signal, Lu Qingshan quickly stopped the spaceship, then opened the hatch and flew out.

Although that Yan Shen Clan expert was only a Boundary Master, wearing Yan Shen Clan battle armor, his strength was in no way inferior to some ordinary Immortals, so Lu Qingshan naturally had to give the other party face.

"Greetings, my lord!"

The Yan Shen Clan Boundary Master expert clad in black battle armor, upon sensing Lu Qingshan's Immortal aura, did not dare to be too negligent; he simply nodded slightly and asked, "May I ask what business brings you, my lord, to this important place of our Yan Shen Clan?"

"I am Lu Qingshan from the Virtual Universe Company's Transport Department!"

Lu Qingshan stated calmly, "This time coming to the Yan Shen Secret Realm, I am ordered to escort your Yan Shen Clan genius 'Gilbert' to the company headquarters!"

"My lord, please wait a moment!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Yan Shen Clan Boundary Master quickly began checking the authenticity of this information through internal Yan Shen Clan channels.

Moments later, the Yan Shen Clan Boundary Master directly waved his hand to transmit a star map to Lu Qingshan, while saying, "My lord, the area near Yan Shen Star is an important place of our Yan Shen Clan; I hope you will proceed to Yan Shen Star along the designated route on the star map!"

"I understand!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

It must be known that the Yan Shen Clan could completely control everything within the Yan Shen Secret Realm, so naturally he would not violate Yan Shen Clan regulations.

After returning to the spaceship, Lu Qingshan quickly piloted the vessel along the guided route on the star map toward Yan Shen Star, though he had now lost the desire to drink.

"These items are bestowed upon you!"

Lu Qingshan gave a brief order to Dolores and the others, then walked toward the rest room nearby.

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Dolores and the others all showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

After Lu Qingshan left, the ten Boundary Master experts immediately stepped forward to divide the fine wine and delicacies on the dining table according to their value; however, not a single one of them would enjoy these wines and dishes, but instead carefully stored them all in their personal storage spaces.

Although these items were merely ordinary wine and delicacies in Lu Qingshan's possession, if placed in the outside world, they would be rare treasures worth hundreds of billions of Universe Coins; even if divided equally among the ten of them, each would still gain hundreds of billions of Universe Coins.

This is the benefit of following a powerful expert.

The other party merely let a trivial benefit slip through his fingers, yet for people like them, it represents accumulation over a very long period.

At this time, in the Virtual Universe, atop Lei Ting Island, within the towering palace shrouded by endless chaotic energy flows.

The supreme ruler of the Virtual Universe Company lineage, Hun Dun Chengzhu, sat cross-legged on the cliff edge, but suddenly a light screen lit up beside him; upon the screen appeared a shadowy figure resembling a wild man, who was none other than the Guardian of the Human Race today, the Great Axe Founder.

"Great Axe!" Hun Dun Chengzhu slowly rose, then greeted with slight respect.

Currently, within the entire Human Race, only two individuals could contact him without a communication request, and the Great Axe Founder was one of them.

"Hun Dun!"

The Great Axe Founder spoke, "I have returned from the Universe Sea! This time the harvest was quite good; I snatched that newly born Peak Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao from an old fellow of the First Cycle Era! Although it is only a weapon, it is still quite excellent!"

"It is good that you returned safely!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu said gently, "Great Axe, do not push yourself too hard in the Universe Sea; after all, you do not have a Supreme Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao to protect you. If you encounter any danger, that would be troublesome!"

"Rest assured; do you not know my strength?"

The Great Axe Founder waved his hand, then asked casually, "How has our Human Race fared on the Original Star over the past hundred thousand years?"

"The harvest has been quite good!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu said with a smile, "Just from the news already released, our Human Race has already obtained two Top-tier Supreme Treasures, over thirty High-tier Supreme Treasures, more than two hundred ordinary Supreme Treasures, and many Heavy Treasures! It is just..."

"Just what?" the Great Axe Founder asked.

"It is just that Seeing Yan Di acts quite domineering!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu said helplessly, "It is said that whenever he arrives at an Original Star, he sweeps away all treasures currently emerging, not even sparing ordinary Heavy Treasures; this has made many experts of ordinary races dare to be angry but not speak! Precisely because of this, when other experts within our Hong Alliance compete for Supreme Treasures, they are somewhat targeted additionally by experts of other factions!"

"This Seeing Yan Di is really something!"

The Great Axe Founder said helplessly, "He now holds three Peak Supreme Treasures; why must he compete with those little ones for ordinary Heavy Treasures?"

"Enough! Given Seeing Yan Di's strength, he is now qualified to venture into the Universe Sea; shortly, I will take him there for training! Perhaps after battling many experts in the Universe Sea, he will be able to create the Ultimate Secret Technique faster! Is there anything else?"

"And there is the matter of the clan's powerful ones perishing!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu continued, "Since the Primordial Star opened, many of our clan's powerful ones have perished! To date, thirty-two High Zifeng Zunzhe and two Universe Dominators have perished! Even more powerful ones have perished within the Hong Alliance, but the High Zifeng Zunzhe have all been resurrected by the Universe Masters. Only the two Universe Dominators of our Human Race and the five Universe Dominators from other races within the Hong Alliance remain unresurrected!"

One must know that only the Universe's Strongest can resurrect beings at the Universe Dominator level, and this is one of the reasons the Hong Alliance, led by the Human Race, can attract so many races to pledge allegiance!

"Leave it to me!" the Great Axe Founder nodded slightly and said.

Moments later, in a universe starfield within the Human Race's territory of the Primordial Universe, not far from the Great Axe Martial Arena's universal headquarters.

This place is a famous resurrection site within the Hong Alliance; basically, every Universe Dominator-level existence has come here, so that they can be resurrected by the Great Axe Founder after perishing.

Hoo!

A wild giant man over ninety thousand kilometers tall instantly appeared in this universe starfield; it was the Great Axe Founder.

He merely waved his hand, and the space-time within a certain range around him began to rapidly reverse!

Just like a movie playing backwards, the scenes within the surrounding space-time constantly changed...

One could see that batches of Universe Zifeng Zunzhe had come here before!

"Freeze!"

Suddenly, a figure was directly locked down by the Great Axe Strongest.

Time continued to rewind, and the surrounding scenes began to change constantly again, yet that figure remained motionless, seemingly completely unaffected.

"Freeze!" Another figure was locked down.

"Freeze!"

"Freeze!"

Figures were locked down one after another; soon, seven figures stood motionless in this space-time, like sculptures.

Among them was the disciple of Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu, Zifeng Zunzhe.

Soon, the Great Axe Founder released a power that penetrated space-time, wrapping around these seven figures.

"Space-Time Rewind!"

Boom-boom-boom!

The space-time that had been reversing instantly stopped at this moment, then began to rapidly return.

At the same time the space-time returned, the faces of these seven locked-down figures all revealed expressions of pain.

"Hmph!"

The Great Axe Founder merely snorted, and boundless divine power surged out instantly, completely absorbing the backlash force acting upon these seven figures.

One must know that even the backlash force from resurrecting a single Universe Dominator is enough to cause a Universe Master to perish; now, resurrecting seven Universe Dominators simultaneously is a considerable burden even for a Universe Strongest like the Great Axe Founder.

Moments later, everything returned to calm, and those seven figures finally returned to the present space-time node.

The seven figures quickly regained consciousness; they looked at each other in shock, and soon all recovered their full memories.

"Good!"

The Great Axe Founder looked at these seven figures: "You had already perished before, but now I have reversed space-time to resurrect you!"

"However, the supreme treasures you carried have already dissipated during the space-time reversal. I hope you will be more careful when roaming the universe in the future!"

Originally, the Great Axe Founder intended to say a few more words, but he suddenly received a communication request from Xu Jin Zhi Zhu; then, after waving to signal everyone, he departed.

After the Great Axe Founder left, only the seven newly resurrected Universe Dominators remained in the arena.

"I am a sinner of the race!"

An alien Universe Dominator, 'Qing Niao Zunzhe', could not help but sigh and speak: "I should not have been so greedy! I should not have been so greedy! If I had not been greedy, I would not have perished at the hands of a Universe Master!"

"Now, not only are all the supreme treasures on my person lost, but to resurrect me, the race's accumulation over countless ages will likely be consumed!"

One must know that Qing Niao Zunzhe is not a Universe Dominator of the Human Race; to be resurrected via space-time reversal, one must first pay enough contribution points!

For the Human Race's own Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, the cost of resurrection is far lower than that of aliens of equivalent strength, and they can even owe supreme treasure points!

Just like Gan Wu Zunzhe; after his first perishing, he already owed the race a sum of resources, yet after his second perishing, the Human Race's powerful ones still reversed space-time to resurrect him.

If it were an alien Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, they probably could not even be resurrected the first time, unless someone was willing to pay a sufficient price on their behalf!

Qing Niao Zunzhe is one of the leaders of an ordinary race, the 'Qing Niao Race'; their entire race has only two Universe Dominators. This time, to resurrect him, the Qing Niao Race's accumulation over countless ages will likely be consumed by nine-tenths!

Of course, Qing Niao Zunzhe is actually quite lucky!

For some ordinary races with only one Universe Dominator, once the leading Universe Dominator perishes and there are not enough resources to resurrect him, the entire race will likely become a vassal race of a peak race or other powerful race, lacking even the qualification to occupy a territory in the universe!

"Qing Niao, do not be too sad!"

Another Universe Dominator, quite familiar with Qing Niao Zunzhe, spoke: "Actually, I am much like you; this time it was also due to greed. I entered the 'Su Han Hall' and encountered Fan Nuo, the Hall Master of the Northern Border Alliance. Relying on his massive divine body, he exchanged injuries with me. Within moments, my divine power was greatly damaged, and inside the Su Han Hall, I could not call for help from the alliance's powerful ones. In the end, I could only helplessly self-detonate!"

"With this perishing, I have not only lost the three supreme treasures I carried, but I will likely owe the race a huge sum of contribution points!"

This person is a Universe Dominator of a powerful race; with two Universe Masters stationed within the clan, his situation is naturally much better than Qing Niao Zunzhe's.

Meanwhile, Zifeng Zunzhe, standing nearby, listened to the sighs of the others, and his mood was incredibly complex.

One must know that the other six mostly perished while fighting over supreme treasures, killed by Universe Masters or top-tier Universe Dominators from other factions!

But what about him?

His perishing was truly too unjust, too inexplicable!

"Seeing Yan Di, how dare he attack a powerful one of the same race..."

Even now, Zifeng Zunzhe still could not believe that the one who killed him was Seeing Yan Di!

"Go find my master to seek justice for me!"

Thinking this, Zifeng Zunzhe immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and rushed to the palace of Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu atop Lei Ting Island.

Atop Lei Ting Island, inside a towering palace, Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu was conversing with Hun Dun Chengzhu.

And just at this moment...

"Disciple requests an audience with Master!"

The voice of Zifeng Zunzhe suddenly reached the ears of Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu and the other.

"Junior brother!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu smiled at Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu: "Your disciple has just been resurrected, lost all his supreme treasures and supreme treasure points, and even owes the clan some. Is he here this time to cry poverty to you?"

"If he was killed, it can only be blamed on his lack of ability!"

Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu said coldly: "If he wants supreme treasures, he can go fight on the Primitive Star himself!"

Hearing Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu's angry words, Hun Dun Chengzhu couldn't help but tease with a smile: "Aren't you afraid he will perish again after going to the Primitive Star empty-handed?"

"Then he can only blame himself for lacking ability!"

While Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu spoke, his real body had already taken out a common supreme treasure armor and a supreme treasure long sword.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied that Zifeng Zunzhe perished on the Primitive Star, he still intended to lend the other party a set of supreme treasure weapons and armor.

After all, Zifeng Zunzhe was the only Universe Dominator among his disciples; without supreme treasures to protect him, his strength would undoubtedly be much weaker!

At this moment, Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu in the Virtual Universe quickly said: "Come in!"

"Master, Senior Uncle!" Zifeng Zunzhe, walking into the palace, hurriedly greeted respectfully.

"Zifeng!"

Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu asked: "Who caused your death this time? Why did you not even send a distress signal?"

"Reporting to Master, the disciple was killed by Seeing Yan Di!" Zifeng Zunzhe hurriedly replied.

"What?"

"What did you say?"

Hearing Zifeng Zunzhe's words, both Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu and Hun Dun Chengzhu looked at Zifeng Zunzhe with some disbelief.

At this moment, Zifeng Zunzhe also quickly recounted the entire experience of the incident, then knelt on the ground and said: "Master, Seeing Yan Di is truly too oppressive; please, Master, act on behalf of your disciple!"

"Seeing Yan Di!"

Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu, now furious, rose to his feet, emitting an incredibly cold aura; even his real body was already preparing to set off for the Yan Secret Realm to settle the score with Seeing Yan Di.

"Junior brother, do not act rashly!"

Just then, Hun Dun Chengzhu, standing aside, stopped Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu: "There might be some misunderstanding in this matter!"

"How can there be any misunderstanding?"

Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu said coldly: "Seeing Yan Di's arrogance has not been a one-day or two-day thing; I have already endured previous matters, but now he dares to attack a powerful kinsman for supreme treasures. Must we continue to endure?"

"Do not rush!"

Hun Dun Chengzhu quickly said: "Let us first inform Giant Axe about this matter and see what the specific situation actually is!"

"Hmph!"

Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu snorted, then looked at Zifeng Zunzhe again and asked: "Zifeng, is everything you said true?"

"Every word the disciple speaks is the truth!"

Zifeng Zunzhe hurriedly guaranteed: "If the disciple speaks even half a lie, let the disciple perish on the spot and never be resurrected by reversing time and space!"

"Good!"

Lord Lord Bingfeng Zhi Zhu nodded and said: "As long as what you say is true, this master will definitely give you an explanation!"
