Chapter 316: Audience with the Primordial Ancestor

Yuan is a slightly slender man in a simple white robe, with a smile on his face; his smile is a perfection after seeing through everything, and just by looking up from afar at that statue and seeing the faint smile on his face, Xiao Yu felt an incomparable tranquility, as if he had returned to his mother's embrace.

"Teacher." The Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Ice Peak, and the Lord of Darkness all halted and bowed in salute.

The Chaos City Lord continued: "My Virtual Universe Lineage has gained another Lord of the Universe; he is also my disciple—Creator Lord Xiao Yu. Today I have specially brought him to pay respects to the Teacher."

"Respectfully, Master Ancestor." Xiao Yu bowed in return.

Xiao Yu held great respect for this legendary great being; without him, humanity would not exist today.

"Xiao Yu? Not bad!" The towering statue's eyes flickered faintly as it sighed.

"Ah!" The Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Darkness, the Dragon Xing Zhuzhu and other Lords of the Universe exclaimed inwardly; the Primordial Ancestor had spoken, whereas when the Lord of Silent Marquis came to pay respects before, the Primordial Ancestor showed no sign of movement.

Xiao Yu bowed again; receiving the Primordial Ancestor's approval made him very pleased.

"Teacher?" the Chaos City Lord called out.

No matter how the Chaos City Lord or the Lord of Darkness called, the Primordial Ancestor statue remained motionless.

After a moment.

"The disciple(s) will now take leave," the Chaos City Lord bowed; the other Lords of the Universe also bowed, then all vanished in a flash.

……

Xiao Yu and his five companions had just returned to Thunder Island when they received a message from the Giant Axe Founder, inviting them to attend the Human Race's Supreme Council.

"The Human Supreme Council comes in two forms, Xiao Yu, you know that, right?" the Chaos City Lord laughed. "One is the one you previously attended as an observer—the Human Supreme Council, attended only by Lords of the Universe and the Strongest of the Universe, convened by the Giant Axe Founder and also called the Giant Axe Conference. The other is the Large-Scale Supreme Council, where all Universe Venerables, Lords of the Universe, and the Strongest of the Universe of the Human Race participate. Such a supreme council is usually convened for major events, or events that affect the interests of the Universe Venerables."

Xiao Yu nodded.

He had studied these in detail before, but since becoming a Universe Venerable, he had not yet attended a Large-Scale Supreme Council, though he had participated in the Giant Axe Conference several times.

"The first two times I escorted you there; now your Permission has increased, allowing direct teleportation to the Giant Axe Temple," the Chaos City Lord said with a smile.

Xiao Yu checked immediately and found that the number of teleportation points had increased.

"Let's go," the Chaos City Lord said.

Immediately, the six Lords of the Universe of the Virtual Universe Lineage vanished from Thunder Island.

In the endless dark Giant Axe Plane, faint starlight glimmered in the distance.

The plain Giant Axe Temple floated in midair.

In front of the temple, the open space held a long stone table; the main seat consisted of a single stone chair, with a row of stone chairs on each side.

"I didn't expect Xiao Yu to become a Lord of the Universe so quickly," the Lord of Desolate Inspection sighed, "It hasn't even been long before he's sitting beside me."

"Lord of Desolate Inspection, now that Xiao Yu has become a Lord of the Universe, perhaps the race will return Earth to him,"

Whoosh!

Six figures appeared in succession before the temple, the six Lords of the Universe of the Virtual Universe Lineage led by Chaos.

"Chaos, has arrived."

Each Lord of the Universe on the stone chairs greeted one another.

"The Darkness has also arrived!"

The Lords of the Universe chatted among themselves.

Xiao Yu and the other five Lords of the Universe took their seats; the Chaos City Lord moved close to the main seat, followed by the Dragon Xing Zhuzhu, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Silent Marquis, and the Creator Lord.

The seating arrangement is not solely based on actual strength.

"Xiao Yu truly is a genius!"

"Being able to fight the Lord of Purple Heaven, Xiao Yu's strength ranks among the top of the Lords of the Universe."

"I heard the Creator Lord can forge Top-level Supreme Treasure Weapons; if you have time, could you forge one for us?"

Xiao Yu responded enthusiastically to these matters while also observing the Human Race's Lords of the Universe. Excluding the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe Founder, the Virtual Universe Lineage is the strongest among the Five Veins of the Human Race.

Not to mention Xiao Yu's strength rivals the Strongest of the Universe; the Chaos City Lord and the Lord of Darkness each possess Five-tier Universe Lord strength, and among the other lineages only Peng Gong has Five-tier strength.

Wow!

At the head of the long table, the Giant Axe Founder appeared, his disheveled hair giving him a wild-man look.

At once the Lords of the Universe fell silent, their demeanor respectful, except Xiao Yu, whose expression remained calm. Over the past billions of years, Xiao Yu had seen the Giant Axe Founder countless times; he respected him but did not feel the same awe as other Lords of the Universe—a change brought by his own strength.

The Giant Axe Founder surveyed the assembled Lords of the Universe and laughed, "Our Human Race hasn't seen this scene in a long time, ha ha, all the Lords of the Universe gathered together."

The 19 Lords of the Universe on both sides of the long table also smiled.

"Gathered here today, it is also to collectively welcome Xiao Yu as one of us," the Giant Axe Founder said, looking at Xiao Yu. "From today onward, the number of our Human Race's Lords of the Universe has increased by one. Xiao Yu possesses the Talent Clone Ability, and his overall capability ranks among the top five in the entire universe—this is a fortune for us humans."

Most of the Lords of the Universe looked at Xiao Yu, evidently surprised by the Giant Axe Founder's claim that his overall ability is among the top five.

"According to our human customs," the Giant Axe Founder smiled, "each individual who becomes a Lord of the Universe receives from the race a treasure worth a Top-level Supreme Treasure Weapon; Xiao Yu, what do you request?"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yu was speechless; a Top-level Supreme Treasure Weapon was too stingy—after all, he is a Treasure Refining Master, a master capable of forging Top-level Domain Treasures.

Such a gift was optional for Xiao Yu, but he could use this opportunity to demand the full ownership of Earth.

He no longer cared for the profits brought by Earth's colonists; they could not compare to the gains from his treasure forging.

Even now, Earth can generate 100 billion Mixed Yuan Units per year, and a single era yields only 100 Heavy Treasure Points—still less than the fractional profit from a Primordial Treasure, let alone from treasure refining; a single Top-level Treasure he could forge would yield profits Earth could not achieve even after tens of thousands of eras.

"Xiao Yu, go ahead," the Giant Axe Founder said, looking at him.

"First, I wish to reclaim all ownership of Earth, ceasing any lease to the Virtual Universe Company. Additionally, I plan to rebuild the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, making its construction more solid," Xiao Yu said.

The entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region has long belonged to Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, Hong, and the Thunder God Four Brothers. However, it is currently administered by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, which only holds managerial rights.

"You intend to permanently reside in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region?" the Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Darkness, and others asked, puzzled.

"No, there will be people stationed in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region; I'm merely constructing it ahead of time," Xiao Yu smiled.

"Since you have a request, it shall be granted," the Giant Axe Founder nodded. "The Black Dragon Mountain Star Region is a star region, comparable to a Universe Secret Realm; it can be stabilized with a treasure worth a Top-level Treasure, but to make it the most stable star region requires at least a treasure worth a Top-level Domain Treasure (type)."

A Top-level Domain Treasure (type) is valued at several thousand Treasure Points, higher than the price of an ordinary Peak Treasure.
