Chapter 379: Human Race Crisis Council

Virtual Universe, Giant Axe Plane.

In front of the Giant Axe Temple, the long table—at some unknown time, a throne unexpectedly appeared on the main seat.

On both sides of the long table, one after another, the Lords of the Universe sat down, each with a stern expression, and every Lord of the Universe felt the invisible, terrifying pressure.

On the main seat, the Giant Axe Founder and Creator Lord Xiao Yu appeared in succession and sat on the main seat.

Xiao Yu felt satisfied with this special arrangement of the Great Axe.

Among the Human Race, strength represents status and confers authority.

"Creator Lord, you tell us the situation," the Giant Axe Founder said.

"The matter is as follows…" Xiao Yu then recounted the whole story from entering the Qingfeng Realm.

"It can be foreseen that the Divine Eye Clan will launch a full-scale attack on us soon," the Giant Axe Founder said, "The impact on our Human Race will be disastrous."

"The hazards of war with the Divine Eye Clan are evident to all; is there any possibility of a resolution?" the Lord of Desolate Inspection asked.

"How to resolve it? Must we hand over the Creator Lord?" the Lord of Darkness barked low.

"Master Uncle, no need to be angry. If handing me over can make the Divine Eye Clan cease their desire to annihilate our Human Race, I could accept it," Xiao Yu said with a smile from the main seat.

"The might of the Divine Eye Clan is evident. Now our humans have already slain two of their Strongest Beings, and two Lords of the Universe have also fallen in succession; this grudge cannot be resolved," the Chaos City Lord said, "This Reincarnation Era is the Divine Eye Clan's limit; they have always harbored a mad ambition, and now our humans are entangled with them in this irreconcilable Cause and Effect. The war is already unstoppable!"

"The war is already unstoppable; that need not be debated further. Next, we must discuss how to respond to the upcoming situation. Could any forces within the Primordial Universe collude with the Cosmic Sea's Divine Eye Clan? Are there other races in the Cosmic Sea that might also take part?" the Giant Axe Founder said.

"This war will be a battle concerning the survival of races. On the Divine Eye Clan's side, the remaining five Strongest Beings and nearly a hundred Lords of the Universe will likely all join in," the Chaos City Lord said, "Even though the Creator Lord possesses the ability to slay a Strongest Being, he probably cannot handle five of them simultaneously; perhaps together with the Giant Axe Founder, the two of them could stand a chance."

"The remaining Divine Eye Clan Lords of the Universe are not forces that my Hongmeng Alliance's over forty Lords of the Universe can oppose," the Chaos City Lord sighed.

Now the Human Race possesses the combat power of two Strongest Beings and eighteen Lords of the Universe; even adding the Hongmeng Alliance's alien Lords of the Universe brings the total to only over forty.

"To address this crisis, we should unite every possible ally," the Lord of Peng Gong said.

"The races of the First Reincarnation Era, the Second Reincarnation Era, and the lone Strongest Beings are probably unwilling to join," the Chaos City Lord analyzed.

"The Two Great Holy Lands are even less likely to participate. Whether the Human Race wins or the Divine Eye Clan wins, it has no impact on the Two Great Holy Lands. Changes in the Cosmic Sea and Primordial Universe's layout mean nothing to them!" the Chaos City Lord added.

"The only possible allies are the forces within the Primordial Universe," the Chaos City Lord continued.

Unlike the Primordial Universe's forces, the First and Second Reincarnation Era powers have the Cosmic Sea as their main battlefield; they have already lost their rights in the Primordial Universe and cannot afford to lose the Cosmic Sea as their habitat.

At this moment, neutrality is the most correct stance for them.

Whether the Divine Eye Clan successfully asserts its power, is wiped out by the Human Race's Cosmic Sea forces, or a one-in-ten-thousand chance of the Human Race winning occurs, as long as they remain neutral, they will not encounter major trouble.

But once they form a coalition and choose wrongly, they will fall into an irredeemable abyss.

Extinction of a race is merely a matter of words.

"What happens in the Cosmic Sea will likely spread into the Primordial Universe quickly," the Chaos City Lord solemnly said: "Within the Primordial Universe, the Crystal Tribe and the Prison Tribe—these two major Peak Clans—already envy our Human Race for occupying vast territories; they hope our Human Race will be defeated in this battle."

"Probably the Insect Race, Mechanical Race, and Demon Race most wish for our Human Race's extinction; we already have frequent conflicts among our four races. Perhaps this time the three will unite, and even cooperate with the Divine Eye Clan to besiege our Human Race," Xiao Yu said.

The Human Race's senior officials present all understood the temperaments of the other five major Peak Clans; this time, not even asking for help, merely avoiding allying with outsiders as traitors of the Third Reincarnation Era would already be a tremendous fortune.

Within the Primordial Universe, the territorial disputes among the Nine Great Super Powers and the Twelve Top Elite Powers have never ceased, except for a few special races and forces.

Where there is conflict, there is war, but previously the frequency was always low.

Everyone has remained at the level of training troops.

Now that a super-strong force from the Cosmic Sea takes the lead, some forces will inevitably seize the opportunity.

"Among the Nine Great Super Powers, besides the six major Peak Clans, there are the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Starlit Beast Alliance, and the Ancestor God Sect," the Chaos City Lord said. "The Ancestor God Sect, as the representative of the Original Will, will not easily reveal its inclination."

"The Ancestor God Sect is probably hard to win over, but I am also their Guardian Deity, so I can try," Xiao Yu took on this task.

"I'll try the remaining Northern Frontier Alliance!" the Giant Axe Founder said.

"Starlit Beast Alliance, I'll also reach out and see," Xiao Yu said with a smile, thinking how to pull the Starlit Beast Alliance onto the Human Race's war wagon.

"The remaining ones are the Twelve Top Elite Powers; someone needs to court them, and even if they cannot be won over, at least prevent them from joining the siege against our Human Race," the Chaos City Lord said.

"To win in this upheaval, we must strive to secure every possible ally," the Giant Axe Founder said.

"By the way, I'll also try to win over Jiang Shen; I think we can bring him into our camp. If so, perhaps the Human Race can attract more races and forces," Xiao Yu said solemnly. He did not mention the Recluse, for one, his efforts might be ineffective; two, even Luo Feng probably cannot be persuaded to join the battle.

"Good, with Jiang Shen and Creator Lord, the two Treasure Refining Masters, many forces will give our Human Race some face; even if they don't join us, they won't partake in the siege," the Lord of Ice Peak said.

"This war is not a petty skirmish like before, but a true race-extinction battle, its intensity unprecedented—perhaps even the Divine Eye Clan has never faced such. So regardless, we must first preserve the seed of our race; whatever the war brings, we must prepare for defeat!" the Giant Axe Founder said solemnly, "We must also prepare for any possible territorial war between races."

"Hmm."

"Right."

One by one they all nodded. A war that threatens a race's extinction must consider defeat before the battle even begins. (End of Chapter)
