Chapter 184: Reclaim Earth, Lord of Reincarnation

"Is this Zhou Yang?"

"Cultivating for seven thousand years to achieve the combat power of a Universe Master—simply unbelievable; most of those little guys from his generation are still battling at the Domain Lord Level!"

"Our Human Race produces talents in succession; our fortunes are flourishing!"

"The Chaos lineage is growing ever stronger."

One by one, the powerful Human Race Universe Masters' gazes inevitably converge on Zhou Yang.

In the past several hundred years, this junior prodigy's name has been repeatedly mentioned in their ears.

After all, Zhou Yang once wiped out nearly eight thousand alien kings with a single move, then consecutively broke through the Realm Master Level Primordial Tongtian Mountain and the 21st level of the Tongtian Bridge; he is regarded as the strongest talent in Human Race history, and even these lofty Universe Masters pay attention to him.

Nevertheless, even though they anticipate Zhou Yang's future achievements, they believe that one day he may sit at the same table as they do.

But when that day arrives so abruptly, they are still astonished!

After all, Zhou Yang is just too young—"Disciple, you're here. Come, sit beside your Youhou senior brother."

The Chaos City Lord smiles at Zhou Yang, nods, and points with a smile to an empty seat four places away from him.

On one side of that empty seat sits a youth clad in dark teal battle armor, each ear bearing a curved upward horn, a vertical eye at his brow, and an aura exceedingly fierce.

"Is this the Quiet Marquis Lord?"

Zhou Yang, out of curiosity, gave the youth several glances.

The original text offers little description of this Quiet Marquis Lord, but upon reflection, as the sole disciple of the Chaos City Lord and Dark Lord's next generation to break through to the Universe Master realm, his talent and comprehension are unquestionably top‑tier.

When Zhou Yang's gaze passes over, the youth smiles amicably at him, "Junior brother, come this way."

"Yes, teacher, senior brother."

Zhou Yang smiles and nods, calmly walking forward to sit while meeting the scrutinizing gazes.

At the same time, he observes the other Universe Masters, for those present are already the highest tier of the Human Race; he had only ever seen them in records before, never their true forms.

Between the Chaos City Lord and the Quiet Marquis Lord sit, in order, a silver‑haired middle‑aged man with speckled white sideburns and strikingly handsome looks; a bald man whose entire body is shrouded in endless dark aura fluctuations; and a towering powerhouse whose battle armor extends a ferocious dragon tail.

These should be the Bingfeng Lord, Dark Lord, and Longxing Lord of the Virtual Universe Company lineage.

Their combined strength is certainly remarkable among all Universe Masters, especially the Dark Lord, who can almost stand shoulder to shoulder with the Chaos City Lord!

When Zhou Yang looks over, these few slightly turn their heads, nodding at him, appearing quite attentive to their newly risen junior disciple.

As for the other Universe Masters, Zhou Yang isn't familiar with them, but after his permission level increased, he teleported to the Giant Axe Temple and specifically examined the information and appearance descriptions of each Universe Master, managing to match them up.

What catches Zhou Yang's attention most are the Xujin Lord of the Axe Arena and the Penggong Lord of the Universe Galaxy Bank; these two rank among the top of all Universe Masters, nearly matching the Chaos City Lord in power! Next are the Huangjian Lord of the Universe Mercenary Alliance and the Qingdong Lord of the Universe First Bank; as heads of their respective factions, their strength is also not to be underestimated.

"My current Divine Power level is far below that of a true Universe Master; I estimate my actual combat power is at most that of an ordinary Universe Master, perhaps comparable to the Quiet Marquis Lord."

Zhou Yang silently weighs his strength against each Human Race Universe Master in his mind, and finds that, in terms of direct combat power, he would likely rank at the very bottom.

Nevertheless, he's not without merit: "At the very least, my escape and survival abilities are top‑class; if I hide in the New Universe, even the Universe Strongest probably wouldn't detect me!"

Zhou Yang and the various Universe Masters size each other up, and the atmosphere falls into a brief silence.

Until—

"Wow!"

Space ripples slightly, and a broad‑shouldered giant with shoulder‑length hair, resembling a wild man, appears at the main seat.

The Human Race's current strongest force, the sole Universe Strongest, the 'Giant Axe Founder', finally manifests as the last!

At once, the Universe Masters beside the long table all wear solemn faces, their demeanor tinged with a hint of reverence.

The wild‑man giant first nods at the Universe Masters, then turns to Zhou Yang, laughing brightly: "Zhou Yang, this is our second meeting, isn't it? You really gave us a huge surprise!"

"Giant Axe Founder, thank you for your earlier attention!"

Zhou Yang replies respectfully.

Previously on Earth, on the day the mountain‑dwelling guest arrived, the Giant Axe Founder instantly manifested outside Earth, making Zhou Yang realize that during the period before his breakthrough, the Giant Axe Founder may have been constantly watching over and protecting him; Zhou Yang naturally felt indebted.

"Ha ha, I just returned to the Original Universe, merely taking a look; no need to worry too much."

The Giant Axe Founder laughs heartily.

He looks around the many Universe Masters and continues: "Our Human Race hasn't seen this scene in a long time, ha ha, all the Universe Masters gathered together—this is rare."

The 19 Universe Masters seated on both sides of the long table also laugh.

"Today we gather here also to collectively welcome Zhou Yang as one of us."

The Giant Axe Founder looks at Zhou Yang: "From today onward, the number of Universe Masters in our Human Race has increased by one. Zhou Yang possesses the Strongest Talent Secret Art, and his survival ability is among the top in the Universe Masters—this is a fortune for our humans."

Wow.

Most of the Universe Masters look toward Zhou Yang, some quietly exchanging thoughts.

The Strongest Talent Secret Art is a powerful method that many Universe Masters have not mastered.

And the survival ability is also top‑tier among Universe Masters, further inciting their envy.

The Universe Sea is fraught with danger; even a Universe Master faces the risk of death, so a powerful survival ability is something every Universe Master covets.

They previously only knew that Zhou Yang had slain a Universe Master Doppelganger, without knowing the details; hearing the Giant Axe Founder now, they realize Zhou Yang possesses such ability and look upon him with heightened respect.

"According to our human customs."

The Giant Axe Founder smiles at Zhou Yang: "Every individual who becomes a Universe Master receives from the clan a treasure of Top‑tier Supreme Treasure weapon value. Zhou Yang, what do you request?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang can't help but sigh inwardly.

This is the difference between the pinnacle clans and some minor forces; even the Northern Frontier Alliance, though one of the Nine Great Super Forces, has too many strong members.

Unless they invite exceptionally powerful Universe Masters to join, preparing huge gifts, a typical internal Universe Venerable who breaks through to become a Universe Master receives very little gift; it largely depends on individual effort.

"Zhou Yang, go ahead and speak."

The Giant Axe Founder looks at Zhou Yang.

The many Universe Masters also look at Zhou Yang.

"What Supreme Treasure?"

Zhou Yang currently possesses the Reincarnation Divine Armor, a simplified set Supreme Treasure; its offense and defense are excellent. After slaying the Rotating Annihilation Lord, he also obtained a Top‑tier Supreme Treasure spear and armor, so he presently has little need for treasures of this level.

He turns to the Giant Axe Founder at the main seat and solemnly says: "Giant Axe Founder, I do not seek other Supreme Treasures; I wish the clan to return to me the remaining ownership of my hometown Earth; Earth is the origin of our human people and holds extremely special significance for us."

Earth.

The Giant Axe Creator pondered slightly, 'Then what do you plan to do with those immigrants now on Earth?'

Naturally, let them withdraw from Earth.

Zhou Yang said firmly.

No!

Absolutely not.

This, impossible.

The Giant Axe Creator had not yet responded when several Universe Masters spoke one after another, their tones hinting at a trace of anger.

When Earth was first discovered, it already attracted attention; over the years, generation after generation of extraterrestrial descendants have been born on Earth, and every descendant, after some cultivation by their respective clans, is found to have high comprehension and an easily trainable mind-nature, giving birth to strong individuals and geniuses with extremely high probability! Though mind-nature seems ordinary and unimportant at the very start of cultivation, as one progresses further, Universe Level, Domain Lord, and Realm Lord become increasingly important! Those born on Earth have undoubtedly undergone some changes in their souls, making it much more likely for them to succeed in cultivating their mental state and mind-nature, easily giving rise to a large number of geniuses and powerhouses.

If time passes, just this single planet Earth could fully produce one strong branch of the human race, not inferior to the ancient Yan Shen Clan! Compared to the Yan Shen Clan, the Earth Lineage has even greater potential!

Moreover, more importantly, those extraterrestrial immigrants currently on Earth are basically the bloodline descendants of these Universe Masters.

Zhou Yang, to their faces, said he would have all extraterrestrial immigrants withdraw from Earth, which naturally made them feel somewhat displeased.

Everyone!

At this moment, the Chaos City Lord spoke up, 'When I initially signed the contract with Zhou Yang, I promised that once he could stand on equal footing with us, I would return Earth's sovereignty to him; I had also informed you all of this back then.'

This

Those Universe Masters who opposed couldn't help but pause.

The Chaos City Lord had indeed said those words, but they hadn't taken them to heart at the time and simply agreed offhand.

Becoming a Universe Master is so difficult; back then Zhou Yang was merely a Domain Lord Level—who would believe that a mere Domain Lord Level youngster could truly grow all the way to become a Universe Master? 'But, that Earth involves the interests of the whole clan.'

The Huangjian Lord, whose body was covered in complex scale armor and looked quite ferocious, spoke.

The Chaos City Lord immediately shouted, 'Huangjian, Earth's humans are also part of my Human Race!'

The Huangjian Lord, as well as the other Universe Masters, all remained silent.

Naturally, they were unwilling to give up Earth's benefits from the bottom of their hearts, but they had inadvertently agreed to the Chaos City Lord back then, and these powerhouses also cared about face, so now it's a bit awkward to speak up.

Alright, you don't need to say more; I have agreed on behalf of the clan.

At this moment, the Giant Axe Creator seated in the chief position laughed as he spoke.

The Giant Axe Creator holds a lofty status among the Human Race; with his word, and given that they had already lost face to the Chaos City Lord, those Universe Masters also fell silent, thus tacitly accepting it.

Only the Huangjian Lord let out a cold snort, seeming somewhat displeased.

Chaos, you shall give the order: within one month, all extraterrestrial immigrants on Earth will withdraw completely, and Earth's sovereignty will be fully returned to Zhou Yang and Earth's humans.

The Giant Axe Creator looked toward the Chaos City Lord.

Good, I will issue the order.

The Chaos City Lord nodded.

Zhou Yang had been silently observing ever since he spoke earlier; now that the matter was finally settled, a smile appeared on his face.

Thank you, Giant Axe Creator, thank you, Teacher!

Hmm.

The Giant Axe Creator lightly nodded, yet smilingly asked, 'Now that you have become a Universe Master, have you decided on a title? Will you continue using "Lord of Reincarnation," or do you have other ideas?'

Title?

Zhou Yang pondered slightly.

When he first gained fame on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, due to manifesting the phenomenon of time-space reincarnation while using the Fusion Secret Method, he was given the title 'Reincarnation King.'

Moreover, by a fortunate coincidence he crossed over to this world, which was akin to undergoing a reincarnation, thus he felt quite drawn to the two words 'reincarnation'.

Then let's continue using the title 'Lord of Reincarnation'!

Haha, good, I am the 19th Universe Master of the Human Race, and I shall be the Lord of Reincarnation!
