Chapter 380

"We must look after the next generation." Lord of Peng Gong said directly, "Especially the next generation living within the realm who have great potential, gather all the Universe-level, Domain Lords, and Realm Lords from the 1008 Universe Nations swiftly! Then bring them to the Initial Universe, and more importantly, all Immortal Divine Spirits and Universe Venerables must be taken to the Initial Universe and the Giant Axe Microcosm."

"Hmm."

"Right."

"The Immortal Divine Spirits accumulated over endless ages must all be taken away."

One by one, they all nodded.

Whether Immortal Divine Spirits or Universe Venerables, they are essentially useless in the upcoming clan war; entering the microcosm and preserving them might give rise to many Universe Venerables, even to a Universe Lord.

They will be humanity's future.

"The human realm is vast, with countless ordinary citizens," Lord of Peng Gong continued, "Taking all humanity away is unrealistic! Moreover, even if a realm war truly breaks out, every life‑bearing planet has humans; races like the Insect Race, Mechanical Race, etc., will not arbitrarily slaughter ordinary humans."

"The most troublesome thing now is our weakness," Lord of Darkness said in a low voice. "If the Cosmic Sea and the Primordial Universe engage in dual‑front warfare, I'm afraid we Universe Lords can only take part in battles within the Primordial Universe. Yet I, Peng Gong, and Hun Dun are only at the Five‑tier Universe Lord level; although we can contend with the Strongest of the Universe, we can only ensure our own safety. We can't even restrain the opponent."

"When we previously killed the Divine Eye Clan's Third True Lord and Seventh True Lord, we also obtained three Strongest Supreme Treasures. I used one myself, gave one to the Giant Axe Founder, and another to my teacher," Xiao Yu said with a light laugh. "Additionally, there's a Peak Palace‑type Ultimate Treasure, a premium Peak Ultimate Treasure armor, and two Soul‑type Peak Ultimate Treasures; I can bring those out now."

Although Xiao Yu still has a Strongest Supreme Treasure, the 'Three Thousand Blade Domain', he can bring out, this treasure was forged using his self‑created secret technique, and even if given to them temporarily, it cannot perform well.

As for the Cold Cliff Fortress, this Seal‑type Strongest Supreme Treasure is crucial to Xiao Yu; it determines whether he can retain the Strongest of the Universe who battles him.

"The Creator Lord has truly become the wealthiest among our human race," the Giant Axe Founder joked.

The Peak Ultimate Treasures Xiao Yu produced are also not cheap; whether palace‑type or soul‑type, their value is no less than that of a Strongest Supreme Treasure.

"Even with three additional Strongest Supreme Treasures, they do little to alleviate the crisis our human race faces," Lord of Void Gold Zou Mei said, "I think we'd be better off temporarily withdrawing from the Cosmic Sea."

"No, the Cosmic Sea cannot be withdrawn from lightly; otherwise our human race will have no way out," Lord of Darkness barked low.

The Primordial Universe is like a sanctuary, while the Cosmic Sea is the true arena that hones the strong, and it holds countless Ultimate Treasures, far surpassing what the Primordial Universe can compare to.

"Alright, the Creator Lord and I are temporarily stationed in the Qingfeng Realm, gathering all the Universe Lords of the Cosmic Sea," the Giant Axe Founder said. "Within the Primordial Universe, my human race, regardless of the Fighting Arena lineage, Virtual Universe lineage, or any of the Five Veins divisions, as well as the Universe Nation divisions, in short, any human—ensure all Immortal Divine Spirits are swiftly taken to the Initial Universe and my Giant Axe Microcosm."

"As for whether we temporarily abandon the Cosmic Sea or pursue a dual‑front approach, that should be decided based on the actual situation and subsequent developments," the Giant Axe Founder said. "Creator Lord, what do you think of this?"

"Fine, from now on we'll divide tasks and cooperate," Xiao Yu said.

…

The highest tier of humanity merely sets a policy.

As for handling affairs and detailed plans, naturally the Universe Venerables and even the Immortal Divine Spirits take care of them.

…

This matter concerning the human race was also announced by the Giant Axe Founder, this Hongmeng Alliance leader, to all members and clans of the Hongmeng Alliance, urging them to prepare for the clan war.

All Universe Lords in the Cosmic Sea must gather at the Qingfeng Realm base.

…

The Demon Ancestor vanished out of thin air within the Prison Race's divine temple, and moments later appeared in the Cosmic Sea.

In the Hun Dun currents near the membrane wall of the Primordial Universe, an evil figure stood in the void, constantly instant‑teleporting through the Cosmic Sea to make his way.

Only after a long while did he stop.

"A small universe of the Divine Eye Clan's Star True Lord," the Demon observed carefully.

Boom!

With a single step, the Demon Ancestor reached the edge of the membrane wall of that small universe; a massive boom struck the wall, causing a section of the membrane to collapse instantly, and he crashed into the small universe.

"If the Star True Lord is still alive, I cannot enter," the Demon Ancestor turned his head to look.

Within the vast emptiness of the small universe, floating fragments of space drifted, and within those floating spaces were pieces of land. Moreover, the entire universe was gradually collapsing.

"Ha ha, this is getting interesting; the most promising race of the Primordial Universe has encountered the craziest race in the Cosmic Sea. This great war is now unavoidable," the Demon Ancestor thought. "With the Creator Lord rising, humanity is strong, yet they still cannot outmaneuver the Divine Eye Clan. In this war, humanity will inevitably lose."

"Let the Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race go first! See what foundation the human race truly has, whether they can hold out; if they can't, my Prison Race will also rush in," the Demon Ancestor thought.

…

Virtual Universe.

Space-time Plane.

Within the towering temple shrouded by Hun Dun currents.

Xiao Yu welcomed the arrival of his three friends, Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong.

Aside from Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen were both very restrained, yet regarding the Earth Lineage they also came in person.

"That's how it stands; from now on, it's up to you whether you head to the Initial Universe or the Giant Axe Microcosm," Xiao Yu said. "If you trust me, you can also temporarily go to my Divine Kingdom."

"I and Lei Shen are preparing to go to the Initial Universe, where we can accelerate cultivation; my Time Law is about to be fully comprehended," Hong said. "However, my family and those associated with me, I fear I won't have time to bring them into the Divine Kingdom; I'll need Xiao Yu's help with that."

"Me too," Lei Shen said.

"Don't worry, I'm a Universe Lord; the Divine Kingdom's diameter is huge and can accommodate many people," Xiao Yu replied directly.

Xiao Yu's Divine Kingdom spans over a million light‑years in diameter, and he has divided it into countless spaces using his controlled Space‑Time Law.

"I'm currently inside a special space of the Starlit Beast's ancestor and cannot exit for now," Luo Feng said. "My family and the Earth Lineage will have to rely on Third Brother."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Yu retorted with a laugh, "Even though I'm already a Universe Lord, the four of us are still brothers; in peril we help each other, right?"

Hong and Lei Shen's eyes widened upon hearing that, and they began to reflect on themselves.

"My mental cultivation is still insufficient," Hong sighed, "I had already reached the Third Rank, but when facing the third brother, my mindset changed."

"Big brother, it's nothing; that's human nature, I understand," Xiao Yu said, gazing into the distance, then turning again to Luo Feng: "In a few days I'll go to pay respects to the Starlit Beast's ancestor, hoping he won't decline."

"You intend to invite him," Hong said.

"Indeed. Whether it succeeds or not, we must try," Xiao Yu smiled. (End of chapter)
