Swallowed Star

More than 400 great beings from the Freedom Alliance gathered at the center of the alliance.

“I bet you’ve all learned about the humans’ response,” Shi Hua Island Leader said. “Even those who weren’t there when the representative came must have heard about it now, after talking with other universe masters. Now that we know their response, I am open to suggestions as to how we should proceed.”

Some of the ill-tempered universe masters roared in response.

“The humans are too reckless and arrogant. They didn’t even show any respect for us! The Freedom Alliance is the most powerful alliance in the universe! Without our help, they can’t survive in the original universe!”

“What do they gain for being so reckless? They don’t even have a way open to retreat.”

“Don’t they want to survive?”

Since the formation of Freedom Alliance, the members had felt that they were in a different status in the original universe. They weren’t as weak as before; instead, they were the powerful Freedom Alliance. They thought that humans would definitely agree to their terms, so they all got furious when the humans rejected them.

Some universe masters started to talk with each other.

“Night Flame, what do you think?”

“Actually, we’ve been stuck at the level of universe masters for a long time, so becoming universe supreme masters is what we most desire. As for limit universe supreme masters? That’s too far from us… Actually, Shi Hua Island Leader is the one who most desires to become a limit universe supreme master! To us, the conditions offered by humans are satisfying already.”

“I think so, but Shi Hua has a huge influence on our alliance, so he won’t just say yes easily.”

“True.”

“Besides, some of the races that were bullied by pinnacle races and those really confident also stand by Shi Hua Island Leader.”

******

Shi Hua Island Leader sat listening to the debate. He glanced across all the 400-something universe masters sitting close to each other and thought, The Freedom Alliance is huge, but lots of races are actually enemies of one another! The only reason they came together is that they were pressured by both sides. Actually, there are too many races and divisions in the alliance…

Some of the races are too progressive and confident! Some are fearful, and they still look up to pinnacle races like before and don’t want to wrong them. Some are mature… Some are sneaky… It’s difficult for them to follow me. I need to get them on my side this time, and we have to force the humans to give us the inheritance to become limit universe supreme masters.

******

They talked about it for half a month, yet nobody could convince anybody. Universe masters all had long lives, and this was a crucial time for them. There were way too many races in the Freedom Alliance, and some had been enemies for a long time. Even Shi Hua Island Leader couldn’t keep them under control.

Shi Hua Island Leader rarely spoke during this time. Instead, he’d been observing.

Many universe masters are ambitious. The Freedom Alliance is a powerful alliance, so lots of universe masters want to control this power.

Like the Northern Territory Alliance. The alliance master didn’t have any rights. Instead, Star River Master, Black Lotus Master, and Xuan Lan Star Master had the executive power.

Some universe masters were ambitious and wanted to marginalize Shi Hua Island Leader so he would be a leader in name only. Shi Hua Island Leader wouldn’t just let his power go like that. The debate showed how serious the power struggle was among the divisions and races within the Freedom Alliance.

******

There was an independent mountain at the top of Space God Mountain named Ancestral Mountain. There, space and time were twisted, and the electric snake was crawling.

Hong! Long! Long!

A giant being showed up on Ancestral Mountain.

“Humans, how ambitious they are!” Space Beast Ancestor said in a furious voice.

“How should we decide, Ancestor?”

“Ancestor, we’ll force those humans to give us the inheritance. We need to show them what we’re capable of!”

The universe masters gathered, and they were all furious. They hadn’t expected that the humans would dare to give a response like that!

“Teacher Origin was born among the humans, so they’re proud of themselves,” said Space Beast Ancestor slowly. “And now, Luo Feng has received the inheritance from Duan Dong River. How can they not be ambitious? Do you really think they’ll give away the inheritance to the limit power that easily? I thought they would have given us because they’re in a desperate situation. Yet they still refused to give us!”

Space Beast Ancestor was furious. He thought he was no stranger to Luo Feng, and Luo Feng was one of the top seniors in the human race. On top of that, he had gone to talk to Luo Feng directly. He had thought the humans would definitely give him the experience of how to become limit universe supreme masters.

However, the humans had still refused, and they were only willing to give them the experience of how to become universe supreme masters.

“What should we do, Ancestor?”

“We can’t let the humans off the hook like that!”

“Ancestor…”

The space beasts were all roaring. They were naturally bloodthirsty with great pride, and they were very disappointed that the humans wouldn’t agree to all the requirements they made.

“No need to rush yet,” said Space Beast Ancestor. “It’s not the time to make a choice yet. I know humans. Even if they resort to retreating back to the original universe, they won’t give out the inheritance. We need to wait for our chance. When the humans are finally in despair, they’ll panic, and if they still refuse to give us the inheritance, we’ll join the alliance and make things worse for them!”

“Okay.”

“Humans, humans!” roared the space beasts.

They may have been friends with some universe masters from other races, but when it came to the benefits of an entire race, they would definitely stand by their race’s side! Luo Feng had lots of friends as well, yet he still stood by the humans. Survival in wars could be cruel.

******

The human race gave a response to the Freedom Alliance, the Ancestral God School, the Space Beast Alliance, and the lone universe supreme masters.

No powers were completely satisfied.

******

Human territory, primal secret region.

Luo Feng stood above Thousand Treasures River, and Darkness Master was beside him.

“Some of them must be very disappointed at our responses,” said Luo Feng. “However, they’re facing a choice. If they choose the united forces alliance, they might not get any inheritance even if they win the war. If they choose us, they can at least get part of the inheritance.”

Darkness Master nodded. “That’s right, so it won’t be too bad. Some powers will choose us, at least.”

“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded. “If we actually lose the war, even if we slow down, we’ll prosper after a time.”

“That’s right.” Primal Chaos City Leader was confident.

“Go.”

Luo Feng waved his hands, and a nine-level tower flew out from his palm in the center of Thousand Treasures River.

“Larger, larger, larger!” commanded Luo Feng, controlling Star Tower.

Hong! Long! Long!

Star Tower grew larger and larger, taller and taller. 100 million kilometers, a billion kilometers, ten billion kilometers. It stopped expanding after it nearly hit the palace where Luo Feng lived.

“Let’s begin the arrangements,” said Luo Feng.

“Let’s go. I need to see it as well. This might be the only chance, as I see it.” Darkness Master smiled.

Luo Feng smiled. “Let’s go!”

They walked to the edge of the bottom of Star Tower. It bordered Luo Feng’s palace. They flew into the palace and entered a quiet secret chamber. Inside, there was an exquisite sculpture on a wall that stood about 100,000 kilometers tall. These palaces were, after all, the homes of universe masters, so the palaces were massive. This quiet chamber for training was quite large; it was not unheard of for a wall to be 100,000 kilometers tall. The exquisite sculpture on it was actually a portal.

“The god country portal was already established.” Luo Feng pointed at the sculpture. “This is the entry to my god country.”

“Let’s go!”

Luo Feng took a step and touched the wall. After a ripple, Luo Feng entered, and Darkness Master entered as well.

Mosha body was guarding Star Tower, so it could easily control Star Tower.

******

In the vast god country.

Hong! Long! Long!

Remote Ocean was tumbling, and above it was a light screen. Two beings walked out: Luo Feng and Darkness Master.

“Is this your god country?” Darkness Master looked around and exclaimed, “Impressive!”

Luo Feng smiled and nodded. His god country had already hit its limit! It would become a miniature universe if it progressed a step further. There was no need for him to hide his god country anymore.

“This Remote Ocean body of yours…” Darkness Master looked down at the endless remote ocean, and admiration flashed through his eyes. “Impressive. With such a godly body, there will never be a shortage of godly power.”

“It’s just luck.” Luo Feng smiled.

For one thing, he transferred the soul of Golden Horned Beast to himself, and the blood he had chosen was the limit of what a golden horned beast could bear. It wouldn’t be able to breed it if it exceeded the limit. Also, he had the Nine Volume Manual, so he could gradually improve the genes of his bloody sea from the prince level all the way to Nine Remoteness Master’s level.

Darkness Master shook his head. “It’s not just luck.”

Luo Feng smiled. “I’ll begin.”

Luo Feng looked at the endless Remote Ocean, and his mind started to control it. Suddenly, Remote Ocean started to tumble. The water surged and flew toward the light screen like a dragon.

Hong! Long! Long!

The tumbling Remote Ocean rushed toward the other end of the portal. Meanwhile, in the primal secret region, water from Remote Ocean flooded out from the sculpture in Luo Feng’s training room.
