Luo Feng instantly teleported into the grand hall and saw one figure after another appearing through teleportation. In a short while, including the Chaos City Lord standing at the upper part of the hall, a total of 19 Cosmic Sovereigns of humanity had arrived—all of them, not a single one missing. This astonished Luo Feng.
After all, there were several Cosmic Sovereigns who had remained in the ‘Primeval Universe’.
Yet now, even these few ‘Divine Power Avatars’ had arrived as well.
“What’s going on? Why has the teacher summoned all the Cosmic Sovereigns of humanity?” Luo Feng felt a sense of pressure. Even during the previous war against the Tripartite Allied Armies, humanity’s Cosmic Sovereigns had never gathered together like this.
For a moment, the grand hall was filled with solemn expressions.
Silence.
Not a single Cosmic Sovereign spoke.
An invisible pressure weighed heavily on all the Cosmic Sovereigns present, and they all looked toward the Chaos City Lord.
“Esteemed ones!” Chaos City Lord descended the steps, scanning the surrounding Cosmic Sovereigns before speaking slowly, “The situation has undergone a major change.”
“What change?”
“Chaos, what happened?”
“What’s going on?”
One voice led to many, Luo Feng among them, as all the Cosmic Sovereigns anxiously pressed for answers.
Chaos City Lord spoke solemnly, “Just now, we received news that a large number of independent clans…”
A knot formed in the hearts of Luo Feng and the others.
The Cosmic Sovereigns of the independent clans were the key to the final war. Whoever could secure enough support from these clans would gain a significant advantage. Now, judging from the situation, had many of these independent clans defected to the Allied Armies’ side?
“A total of 282 powerful clans, nearly ten thousand ordinary clans, and countless weak clans…” Chaos City Lord continued solemnly, “They secretly, presumably, have formed an alliance!”
“What!”
“Alliance?”
“An alliance formed by independent clans?”
A wave of uproar swept through the hall.
Luo Feng and the others were shocked.
These countless independent clans, known as ‘ordinary clans’ and ‘weak clans,’ were indeed weak. Many of them, like the Golden-Horned Clan living within human territory, didn’t even have a single Cosmic Sovereign. Thus, in the universe, they were vulnerable and mostly served as vassals to powerful clans, even relying on peak clans for survival.
Therefore, although it was said to be an alliance of countless clans, it was primarily a coalition of 282 powerful clans.
“How could this happen?”
“How could such a thing occur?”
“Independent clans, these scattered clans, can actually form an alliance? They managed to unite?”
For a moment, the grand hall was in chaos.
Everyone was shocked and confused.
This news was too shocking!
Before the emergence of the Primordial Universe, there were originally nine supreme forces, such as the Hong Alliance and the Insect Race Alliance, each possessing approximately 40 Cosmic Sovereigns. The Northern Border Alliance had the highest number of Cosmic Sovereigns… yet only around 100, and their coalition was relatively loosely structured. As a result, the Primordial Universe maintained a relatively peaceful state.
The unification of countless scattered clans was extremely difficult. Their territories were spread across every corner of the Primeval Universe, with some harboring deep enmity against each other.
Unite?
Neither the Human Faction nor the Allied Armies had considered this possibility before. After all, getting countless scattered clans to unite in a short period of time was extremely difficult.
“How many Cosmic Sovereigns do these 282 powerful clans have?” Icepeak Sovereign couldn’t help but ask.
“How did this happen?” Luo Feng couldn’t believe it either.
Forming an alliance wasn’t something that could be achieved with just a word. It involved numerous clans, entangled with grudges and interests—who would hold higher status, who would be the leader?
Chaos City Lord spoke solemnly, “The matter has already occurred and will soon be made public. Initially, the scattered clans hadn’t faced enough pressure, but now influenced by the two major factions, they are forced to take sides… naturally, some Cosmic Sovereigns wanted to remain neutral, yet feared being too weak. Thus, they started to court other Cosmic Sovereigns, forming factions. Although there were signs of this before, I didn’t take it seriously.”
“Never did I expect that in the blink of an eye, they would all form an alliance.”
“And… the ‘leader’ of this super alliance is the Shihua Island Sovereign!”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the grand hall was stunned.
Shihua Island Sovereign?
One of the strongest lone Sovereigns, and a very mysterious one at that? Among the strongest lone Sovereigns, Shihua Island Sovereign, Mountain-Sitter, and Northern Border Alliance Leader were the most enigmatic. Such a mysterious figure suddenly becoming the leader of such a massive super alliance?
“This super alliance… consists of six secondary factions and many more smaller factions, totaling 282 powerful clans, with over 400 Cosmic Sovereigns!” Chaos City Lord continued solemnly, “Moreover, both our Human Faction and the Allied Armies have seen some of our Cosmic Sovereigns defecting to join this super alliance.”
“Defecting?” Luo Feng and others’ faces darkened further.
“Chaos, our Human Faction has lost some Cosmic Sovereigns?” Sovereign Huangjian asked urgently.
Chaos City Lord nodded, “You know as well that those clans who defected were merely vassals. During battles, we could detain some of their Cosmic Sovereigns in the ‘Primeval Universe’ as hostages. However, after the war with the Tripartite Allied Armies ended, there was no reason to prevent them from returning to the Original Universe indefinitely.”
“Previously… they faced a difficult choice and finally decided to defect to us. But when this super alliance secretly started forming, they naturally contacted some of the Cosmic Sovereigns who had defected to us or the Allied Armies. With just a little courting, some of them defected.”
“Not long ago, the total number of Cosmic Sovereigns in our Human Faction had risen to over 180.”
“But now, including me, we only have 162, and more Cosmic Sovereigns are coming to bid farewell.” Chaos City Lord sighed, “If they want to leave, can our Human Faction really stop them?”
A deathly silence followed.
Luo Feng and the others felt a heavy weight on their hearts.
Back then, those scattered clans only defected to humanity, merely pledging allegiance. Humanity couldn’t possibly expect them to be bound to humanity forever! Those scattered clans had already fought for humanity, and left without asking for any rewards. Even if humanity tried to prevent them from leaving, they could easily escape from the ‘Primeval Universe’ into the Cosmic Sea.
Would humanity dare to kill them?
If humanity really did that, it would likely trigger an even greater uproar.
…
The grand hall fell silent.
All nineteen Cosmic Sovereigns were speechless, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Chaos City Lord spoke again.
“Just these days, many major powers in the Cosmic Sea have contacted our race.” Chaos City Lord said, “They are demanding guidance from the ancient civilization for transcending samsara. Many of them are aware of the influence of the ‘Will of the Primeval Universe,’ so they are requesting cultivation experiences for reaching the limit of the strongest Cosmic Sovereigns. They are willing to exchange ‘Supreme Treasures’ for this!”
The major powers in the Cosmic Sea were powerful.
Clans like the Divine Eye Clan and the Bone Clan each had several strongest Cosmic Sovereigns. Offering a Supreme Treasure in exchange for cultivation experiences for reaching the limit of the strongest Cosmic Sovereigns was something they were very willing to do! After all, facing impending doom, how could they possibly hesitate?
“Cursed powers of the Cosmic Sea, choosing precisely this critical moment to negotiate with our race.” Sovereign Xujin said coldly.
“They know we are in a difficult situation now,” Sovereign Darkness said gravely.
“It’s not just them…” Luo Feng said, “Just recently, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land contacted me again.”
“Eastern Emperor Holy Land?”
Instantly, all eyes turned to Luo Feng.
The humans were unwilling to trade with other factions because giving part of their heritage to other factions would create powerful future rivals! But the Eastern Emperor Holy Land was different, as they already had beings who had transcended samsara and had long possessed the experience for reaching the limit of the strongest Cosmic Sovereigns.
Giving them some brief cultivation experiences would merely be adding flowers to brocade—no threat to humanity itself.
“Eastern Emperor Ancestor is cunning and greedy,” Luo Feng sighed and shook his head. “It’s hard to get another Supreme Treasure from him.”
“They’re all taking advantage of our current predicament,” Sovereign Youhou gritted his teeth.
The major powers of the Cosmic Sea were indeed envious.
But they couldn’t interfere, so they could only seize the critical moment, targeting humanity’s current difficulties, and tempt them with ‘Supreme Treasures’! After all, for the major powers of the Cosmic Sea, their only option was to approach humanity, as the Allied Armies had nothing they desired.
As for lending Supreme Treasures to the Allied Armies? They were afraid that once lent, they would never be returned!
“We wait,” Chaos City Lord said slowly. “We can only wait.”
“Wait for the reaction from this super alliance formed by the scattered clans! Previously, each individual scattered clan had no confidence to make demands of us. But now… with over 400 Cosmic Sovereigns, even more than the Allied Armies! It’s a true force that can influence the final war. It can be said that whichever side they join will win!”
“They have confidence now.”
“Especially Shihua Island Sovereign, who silently became the leader of this super alliance. This mysterious Shihua Island Sovereign managed to achieve this, how could he have no demands? He must have his own purpose.”
“Therefore—”
“This super alliance will soon make a move,” Chaos City Lord said solemnly.
Luo Feng and the others nodded, their hearts heavy.
In fact, everyone guessed that with their newfound confidence, their demands would be high! Would humanity really give in? But if they didn’t… if over 400 Cosmic Sovereigns joined the Allied Armies, it would be a disaster for humanity!
…
In the demon territory, on Xueya Star.
Numerous wills descended here, while the Northern Border Alliance had a manifestation of Sovereign Black Lotus present.
“Cursed.”
“These insignificant minor factions, these secondary factions, have actually united! Forming such a formidable alliance, even some of the Cosmic Sovereigns who originally defected to our Allied Armies have abandoned us. We couldn’t stop them, nor could we persuade them!”
“Shihua, Shihua, this Shihua guy… we knew he was capable, but we never expected him to form such a super alliance. Establishing such a super alliance is no small achievement… I reckon that as soon as the giant axe fell, he must have foreseen the future scenario and quietly begun laying the groundwork for this.”
“Now, the initiative is in the hands of this super alliance.”
“We can only wait.”
“Wait for this super alliance to make its move.”
Both the Allied Armies and the Human Faction were equally caught off guard.
Half a month later.
The super alliance was officially established and publicly announced its existence to the entire Primeval Universe. This super alliance named itself the ‘Free Alliance,’ and upon its formation, it immediately became the largest power in the Primeval Universe.
