Chapter 416: Acquiring Territories

"A dangerous region outside the Primordial Universe, a million light‑years?" one phrase after another kept flashing in Xiao Yu's mind, and suddenly he recalled that his World Tree clone outside the Primordial Universe was devouring the Hun Dun currents, forming a vortex that now exceeds a million light‑years.

"Zitian, are you referring to the endless vortex area near the Blood Rudder Stone?" Xiao Yu asked.

"How did you know?" Zitian Demon God was startled.

"I had already surveyed it before; there was no Ultimate Treasure there, it seemed to be formed by the Primordial Universe sucking the Cosmic Sea Hun Dun currents," Xiao Yu fabricated a reason.

Chaos City Lord was surprised about when Xiao Yu had gone to survey, but after considering that Xiao Yu's Divine Avatar had the same effect as his clone, he let it go.

"I see, so that's why that region suddenly appeared as such a dangerous place, still adjacent to the dangerous region of the Primordial Universe," Zitian Demon God took it as truth; in his view Xiao Yu had no reason to deceive him, he must have been there, otherwise how would he know it contains an endless vortex?

"Since there is nothing left for the Human Race here, I will depart for now; when you can forge the Strongest Supreme Treasure, I'll come find you," Zitian Demon God continued.

"Thanks for this time, Zitian," Xiao Yu said sincerely.

"Thank you," Chaos City Lord replied.

Zitian Demon God waved his hand lightly, then vanished into thin air, leaving the Primordial Secret Realm.

…

Virtual Universe, in front of the Giant Axe Temple.

Thrones upon thrones encircled a Round Table, with Xiao Yu and the Great Axe seated side by side, their thrones naturally a tier larger.

The other Lord of Peng Gong, Chaos City Lord, Lord of Darkness and other Human Race Universe Lords, as well as all Hongmeng Alliance Universe Lords, had all arrived.

In the Giant Axe Plane, the Alien Tribe Universe Lords of the Hongmeng Alliance do not have constant permission to teleport in; only after receiving an invitation letter and holding it can they be teleported in.

After all, this is a plane that is activated only when the Human Race's highest‑level council convenes.

"Everyone," Xiao Yu looked around and said, "Demon Race, Mechanical Race, Insect Race, these three races have already contracted their territories; per the agreement they have relocated part of their lands, and from this moment those territories are now ours of the Hongmeng Alliance."

"Those three races at least know some decency," Lord of Ice Peak, usually cold, smiled now, "If they didn't know when to retreat, our army would have slaughtered them."

"They! Seeing even the Divine Eye Clan defeated by our Human Race, they reluctantly migrated away," Lord of Void Gold said with a calm smile, "With this lesson, they probably won't provoke our Human Race again."

"Then we have no excuse to keep expanding our territories," Lord of Desolate Inspection said.

One by one the Hongmeng Alliance Universe Lords spoke, all of them excited. Even the Alien Tribe Universe Lords were thrilled; they had long heard of this territorial division, and those among them who participated in the war also had a share.

"This time they killed so many Universe Lords, intensifying their hatred toward our humans," Lord of Darkness said in a low voice, "I heard some Venerables and Immortals within their races are bent on furious revenge; if not restrained, bad things could happen. This shows the three races' hatred toward our humans; in my view, any threat should be eliminated early!"

"Those three races each have a Strongest Being; if we press them too hard and give them no way out, those Strongest Beings hide in the Primordial Universe, causing sabotage, and we won't fare well either."

The debate continued.

In just a moment, a plan was set.

"The territories ceded by the Demon Race, Mechanical Race, and Insect Race will be fully occupied by our Hongmeng Alliance; 250 domains will be rewarded to all Hongmeng Alliance Universe Lords who participated in this operation, and the remaining 1,416 star sectors will all belong to our Human Race. Occupy them quickly and arrange human relocation in batches."

"Whether ordinary humans or those of Stellar-level, Universe-level, Domain Lord Level, Realm Lord Level, etc., must relocate there promptly."

"Additionally, each division must hasten the construction of new territorial defense rings. Relocate the Outer Realm Battlefield there."

"From today, our Human Race territories will possess 2,424 Universe Nations; the new Universe Nation Lords will be selected from the strongest who have recently been promoted to Universe Sage Level," the Giant Axe Founder said, his voice more heroic than ever.

"Receive the three races' territories, and prioritize sending Universe Lords to survey."

Although the Virtual Universe System can also conduct territorial surveys, it ultimately cannot investigate, especially whether endless spacetime is hidden within.

"As for these three races, we will not alter the original strategy for now," Xiao Yu's voice boomed, full of inexhaustible authority.

Now, although the Giant Axe Founder remains the nominal leader of the Human Race, Xiao Yu's standing is not low; indeed, his words are arguably even more useful than the Giant Axe Founder's.

The fact that the Strongest Beings of the three races only negotiated territorial matters with Xiao Yu also shows this.

In this universe, strength ultimately reigns; whoever is stronger has words that carry sufficient weight.

…

After the Giant Axe Conference, every Human Race Universe Lord within the Primordial Universe was dispatched to survey the 1,416 star sectors.

Within a territory of the original Demon Race.

Xiao Yu materialized out of thin air, mastering spacetime, and instantly everything in this spacetime became clear.

"Hmm, this is the 68th star sector I've surveyed; this sector contains three secret realms, one of dangerous rank, one of extreme rank, and one of normal rank. Apart from these three, there are no other anomalies; this place is now safe," Xiao Yu thought to himself.

"This place is fine; it can serve as a base for Earth humans in the future."

The current Earth human population has already exceeded a hundred quadrillion, with ordinary humans reproducing especially rapidly. The entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region can no longer meet humanity's housing needs.

And this place happens to have three secret realms, where Earth human geniuses can be placed; all three have dangerous levels, suitable not only for Realm Lord Level geniuses but also for Immortal Level and even Universe Sage Level.

Although the Earth human lineage has not yet produced a Universe Sage, Xiao Yu believes that day is not far off.

Thinking this, Xiao Yu marked the location directly on the Virtual Universe System, applied to purchase it outright as territory for the Earth human lineage.

Given Xiao Yu's contributions, even gifting a Universe Nation to the Human Race is trivial, let alone he lacks no wealth. Moreover, the spoils from this great war are unprecedented.

Immediately, Xiao Yu placed a Peak Palace Supreme Treasure near the extreme‑rank secret realm in this star sector, and the Divine Kingdom sent a Divine Avatar there.

Soon, teleportation channels will be built here, using a Divine Kingdom Immortal Marquis warlord of the Earth human lineage as the relay battle for the channels.

After leaving a Divine Avatar, Xiao Yu instantly teleported away, immediately teleporting straight to the adjacent star sector.

He still has 32 star sectors to survey.

Like Xiao Yu, each Human Race Universe Lord who possesses a clone, aside from the regions they must guard, all others were dispatched to survey the newly annexed 1,416 star sectors.

Any Alien Tribe encountered during the survey was exterminated without exception. (End of chapter)
