Chapter 334 Who is really in charge?
Over the next ten thousand years, almost every corner of the primordial universe was filled with traces of the human race and its affiliated groups.
The vast and boundless territory was continuously brought under control, and the human race and various subordinate races of Moxia began to multiply and thrive on a large scale in this unclaimed land.
The lifespan of extraterrestrial humans is inherently long, far exceeding the few decades of life of ordinary humans on Earth.
Any random citizen of the universe can reach the planetary level and have a lifespan of over a thousand years.
Humans in the Divine Kingdom and those in the Cosmic Secret Realm are even more blessed by nature. Individuals who can grow up in such an environment are already at the planetary level and have long lifespans.
Without the depletion caused by inter-tribal conflicts, and with the vast resources brought by the endless territories, all races multiplied to their fullest extent. In just a thousand years, they had almost occupied all observable territories in the original universe, and the human race could be found on almost every star system.
This made many of the subordinate races, who still only occupy a few universe kingdoms, secretly sigh: "Humans are really good at procreation! Looking back, only the demon race can rival their reproductive ability."
It is important to know that the vastness of this spacetime is billions of times greater than the original territory of the thousands of human cosmic kingdoms. Yet today, on almost every habitable planet with a suitable environment, one can see the human race thriving and multiplying. The once empty starry sea has now become the domain of the human race.
As for those once-powerful clans, they seem to have vanished into thin air.
According to information gathered by several human universe lords during their exploration of the cosmic sea, those races seem to have hidden themselves within the miniature universes of the strongest beings in each universe; while the weaker races, and even some of the stronger races, have all submitted and become vassals of the strongest beings in their respective universes.
They seemed to be afraid of the human race, and afraid of that terrifying being among them.
The primordial universe seemed to have truly become the domain of humankind.
Beneath this prosperity, however, lurks a subtle undercurrent of tension.
Even the most peripheral subordinate groups could sense the subtle imbalance within the human race.
Earth alone occupies one-third of the original universe, while the original human race and its affiliated races can only squeeze into the remaining two-thirds of the territory.
Strangely, no cosmic ruler stepped in to stop it.
Even though those cosmic venerables were full of resentment, they could only dare to be angry but not speak out when they saw the group of top cosmic overlords from Earth and the supreme treasures in their hands.
Earth possesses numerous top-tier cosmic overlords, which is understandable, but why do they possess so many supreme treasures? You must know that when other races retreated, they left behind nothing of value.
In the days that followed, something even more shocking happened to the Lord of the Universe and the Venerables.
While countless powerful human beings were exploring some of the universe's secret realms, they discovered that some of the kings and immortals of the Earth lineage were able to wield supreme treasures!
That's a priceless treasure!
Even the most powerful and invincible kings only possess one precious treasure.
This is far too extravagant; even among ten high-level cosmic beings, not one might possess such a treasure.
This scene left almost all the cosmic venerables and cosmic masters stunned.
It wasn't until they came into contact with them that they learned that these treasures were all crafted by the creator of the Earth lineage, the Mountain Dweller.
After learning the truth, the Lord of Chaos City, the founder of the Giant Axe, and others fell silent.
Virtual universe, council hall.
A dozen or so tall and imposing beings sat around discussing matters; these were the universe lords of the human race, but Xu Qing was nowhere to be seen.
"What are your thoughts on the recent movements of the Earth lineage?" The founder of the Giant Axe swept his gaze across the crowd, his voice as steady as thunder.
"The giant axe, I don't think it's a problem," the Chaos City Lord said leisurely. "The Earth's lineage is also human; their strength is certainly a good thing for humanity."
"Hmph, founder of the giant axe, I think the lineage of Earth is clearly about to rebel!"
The Lord of the Wasteland slammed his fist on the table and stood up, indignantly saying...
"That Xu Qing alone is so presumptuous, he doesn't take you seriously at all, and now there's another guest sitting on the mountain!"
Is this human race primarily composed of my universe's human race, or primarily composed of their Earth lineage?!
"Lord of the Wasteland, how dare you!"
The founder of the giant axe glared at the table and slammed his hand down, causing the entire council hall to tremble slightly.
"Did I send you here to talk about your fellow humans like this? Have you forgotten how Xu Qing turned you into a dog? You had an avatar to rely on before, do you think you'll be so lucky next time?!"
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Wasteland turned deathly pale and instinctively shrank back.
The humiliating experience of being turned into a dog remains a haunting nightmare for him.
But he stubbornly argued, "But Giant Axe, don't forget, Xu Qing just became the Lord of the Universe, and he could easily defeat me, a peak fourth-tier cultivator! Now, tens of thousands of years have passed, and he will only be stronger. With the help of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, we simply can't control them!"
"What you say is not untrue." The Lord of Chaos City spoke at this moment, his tone becoming more solemn. "But while the human race is currently thriving on the surface, it will take many years before a top-tier powerhouse who can truly influence the direction of the race is born."
"Yes, it's just a facade of prosperity." Giant Axe nodded, his expression serious. "The other races would never stand by and watch us occupy the entire primordial universe."
"They are simply afraid of Xu Qing's alchemy techniques. Rather than being unable to deal with Xu Qing and allowing him to continuously kill universe masters and universe overlords to enhance the human race's combat power, they would rather avoid the limelight for now, secretly consolidate their strength, and then deliver a fatal blow."
He paused, then continued, "Xu Qing's frantic development of power actually suits my purposes. At least it will add more manpower to our clan, so that we won't be powerless to resist when facing an attack from other races in the future."
"Just in case—" Giant Axe hesitated, his tone tinged with unease, "Do you think it's possible that those alien races—have already all integrated?"
At this point, the council hall fell into a deathly silence.
Even the Lord of Desolate Mirror, who initially loathed Xu Qing, shut his mouth.
Indeed, those alien races did not disappear; they simply went into hiding temporarily.
But if what Giant Axe said is true, and they have already secretly integrated, then the consequences are unimaginable.
Those are thousands of universe lords!
The entire human race, including the Hong Alliance, has only forty Universe Lords.
The power of thousands of universe lords cannot be measured by a ratio of 1000 to 40.
Because the primordial universe limited the power of the strongest beings and the rulers of the universe to only level 6.
But there is one thing that can bypass the sixth-order domain.
That's a combined attack!
On average, a Universe Lord can reach the level of a fourth-order Universe Lord by burning their divine body.
However, the combined attack of ten universe masters is not at the fifth rank, but at the sixth rank, equivalent to a hundred universe masters!
A hundred Universe Lords attacking together would be at the eighth rank! That's equivalent to tens of thousands of Universe Lords!
Thousands of them—that's already at the tenth rank! That's equivalent to a million universe lords!
