In the tranquil cosmic starry sky, the island standing tall at the center of vast golden waves is the core territory of the Free Alliance.
More than 400 Cosmic Sovereigns gathered here, each seated on a throne, having just reached a consensus and now waiting for humanity to provide them with partial inheritance information.
Sithua, the Island Master, sat on his throne, holding a wine glass in one hand, gently swirling it while looking down at the glass with a smile on his face, feeling quite pleased within: “Using the overwhelming momentum of the Free Alliance to pressure humanity, and then secretly contacting them, offering only myself as the price to obtain the allegiance of the entire Free Alliance… effortlessly acquiring the information leading to becoming the strongest being in the cosmos.”
Thinking of this, Sithua became even more smug.
He admired himself even more.
In fact, ever since Luo Feng obtained the inheritance of the Duandong River lineage, Sithua had known that a great upheaval was destined to occur within the Original Universe. The increasingly powerful human race and the growing tensions with other clans of the Original Universe would inevitably lead to a massive storm. Thus, he had begun secretly laying the groundwork, making every effort to befriend many independent clan Cosmic Sovereigns.
These independent clans, with their low status, naturally jumped at the chance to befriend a lone ultimate Cosmic Sovereign! As a result, Sithua quickly gained the support of a large group of Cosmic Sovereigns.
Upon hearing of the death of the Axe Creator, Sithua immediately understood—it was a catalyst, triggering a war that was bound to happen much earlier than expected! If not for the death of the Axe Creator… other clans would probably still be secretly making contact and preparing slowly, possibly not escalating so quickly. So he immediately accelerated his actions.
Everything unfolded as predicted…
Taking advantage of the pressure from the two major factions on the independent clans, Sithua immediately used his old connections to start persuading and quickly gathered a group of supporters. Using this force, he persuaded other factions… eventually forming this super alliance—the Free Alliance.
“Being the alliance leader? It’s of no use to me.”
“What I pursue…”
“…is true invincibility! Is transcending samsara!”
“My first goal is to reach the level of Yuanzu, followed by transcending samsara, just like the Eastern Sovereign Ancestor, just like the Purple Moon Ancestor.” Sithua’s chest surged with powerful desire. As a lone ultimate Cosmic Sovereign, he essentially didn’t care about the power of the alliance, only needing to use it as a tool.
…
Sithua had always been extremely relaxed, his consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe, waiting for humanity’s response. Previously, even when he had connected to the Virtual Universe, he needed some concealment techniques. However, after the Free Alliance’s negotiations with humanity, all the Cosmic Sovereigns and ultimate beings of the Free Alliance were granted access to the Virtual Universe.
This allowed for quick communication between both sides.
Sithua’s originally relaxed expression immediately vanished, replaced by seriousness and anger. He swept his gaze around and shouted furiously: “Everyone! Just moments ago, we reached a consensus, yet now the allied forces have already attacked humanity’s Original Secret Realm!” This loud shout echoed through every inch of the island, causing the more than 400 Cosmic Sovereigns, who had previously been chatting and waiting for the inheritance information, to be stunned.
“How could this happen?”
“Why would the allied forces attack humanity now?”
“We had just internally agreed, so how could the allied forces attack humanity?”
“Who? Who exactly leaked the information? Don’t they know this act threatens the inheritance information we are about to obtain?”
“Who leaked the information?”
The Cosmic Sovereigns on the island immediately became furious.
The most furious was Sithua, because this could potentially ruin his plans.
“It’s obvious someone among us must have leaked the information,” Sithua’s cold gaze swept across the numerous Cosmic Sovereigns present. “This is undermining the future breakthrough hopes of all Cosmic Sovereigns! Unforgivable! Of course, it might have been an accidental leak during a conversation with a disciple or friend… but there’s no need to dwell on that now. Humanity is hiding for now, and the allied forces can’t do anything to them, so the situation hasn’t worsened. What we need to do now is immediately head to human territory and join their side.”
“Right.”
“Exactly.”
“Let’s go now!”
“Not a single Cosmic Sovereign here can be absent. Whoever doesn’t go will be considered a suspect for leaking information.” Some Cosmic Sovereigns, worried about their hopes of breaking through to becoming ultimate Cosmic Sovereigns being ruined, were indeed furious. Who had leaked the information to the allied forces?
“Move out.”
“Move out.”
Soon, six grand palace treasures appeared above the island, and then quickly vanished through divine nation teleportation.
Although they were an alliance, internal factional struggles were indeed severe. Some independent clans had deadly feuds and naturally didn’t want to stay together, so they split into six separate teams, each consisting of more than 70 Cosmic Sovereigns, their strength was formidable to say the least.
…
In human territory, the Original Secret Realm.
The nine-story tower stood in the void, while in the distance, 11 palace treasures were recklessly attacking, unleashing devastating power that turned the void into endless particle streams, thunderously crashing onto the Star Tower.
“Boom~~~”
“Crash~~”
Although the Star Tower trembled slightly from the bombardment, it astonishingly didn’t get blasted away.
This shocked the allied forces.
“So many Cosmic Sovereigns, 11 ultimate Cosmic Sovereigns, combining such immense power… yet we can’t even blast the Star Tower away? Could it be that the more than 100 Cosmic Sovereigns inside the Star Tower are all helping to stabilize it?”
“The Star Tower is controlled by Luo Feng. He obtained the inheritance of the Duandong River lineage, so anything mysterious could happen. The Grave Ship and the Will Impact Treasure were both things he brought out.”
The allied forces were furious, and soon the attacks ceased.
Because they knew continuing the assault would only be a waste of divine power. Like when humanity initially launched a surprise attack, which succeeded because the target was a peak palace treasure. As a peak palace treasure… it had almost no soul defense capability. However, the situation was different for supreme treasures.
Inside the Star Tower and the Black Prison Tower, physical and soul attacks were both blocked.
“It seems we’ll have to resort to attrition warfare.”
“If the Free Alliance arrives, it will be troublesome.”
“No matter what, we must not abandon this battle. We absolutely cannot allow humanity to grow stronger! If our many factions unite and still let humanity roam freely, that would be a great joke.”
…
Inside the Star Tower, within one of the side doors, Luo Feng, Chaos City Lord, and Peng Gongzhu were gathered together.
“Blast it away?” Luo Feng laughed, “Haha, the Infinite Abyss Sea is one of my clones, but even so, placing it inside the Star Tower makes moving extremely difficult. Now that the Infinite Abyss Sea is inside the Star Tower… no one knows how heavy the Star Tower has become. Wanting to shake it or blast it away?”
“The allied forces must be furious this time,” Peng Gongzhu shook his head. “They probably still don’t know… that with Yuanzu present, we were aware of all their movements in advance.”
“Right,” Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord both nodded.
Even within the human race, prior to this, Luo Feng and the others didn’t know that Yuanzu could be aware of almost every place in the Original Universe, let alone the alien races.
“Just wait. Once the Free Alliance arrives, everything will be easy,” Chaos City Lord said.
Without the Free Alliance.
The allied forces could easily contain the human side indefinitely! They only needed to leave more than 200 Cosmic Sovereigns and some ultimate beings stationed there permanently to suppress the human side… while other Cosmic Sovereigns could rotate, freely entering the Cosmic Sea for adventures, etc.
Seizing all human territory, trapping the human faction, thus forcing humanity to have no room for development.
Soon—the alien races within the human camp would likely defect, as they also needed to consider their own clans’ interests, which would cause the human side to grow weaker and weaker, eventually making it difficult for them to stand in the Original Universe. They might even have to retreat to the ‘Primordial Universe.’
“But Luo Feng actually dared to do that…” Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng, sighing inwardly.
That plan was too risky.
Of course, humanity wasn’t in danger, but Luo Feng himself was.
“If not for that, with the Free Alliance joining us, our strength will directly gain the advantage, and Luo Feng won’t need to take risks… the allied forces’ goal is destined to fail.” Chaos City Lord waited patiently, still in contact with Sithua through the Virtual Universe, who had told him they would arrive shortly.
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng, Peng Gongzhu, and Chaos City Lord all looked through the Star Tower and saw the sudden appearance of six massive objects in the distant void.
“They’re here!”
“They’ve arrived!”
Luo Feng immediately showed a delighted expression, while Chaos City Lord and the many Cosmic Sovereigns within the Black Prison Tower became excited.
…
In the void.
The allied forces, with their 11 palace treasures, were now gathered closely together, already secretly discussing, as they were aware… this sudden surprise attack plan seemed to have been anticipated by the enemy, who had evaded in advance, causing their goal to fail. Thus, they were forced into the most desperate war of attrition.
“They’re here.”
“The Free Alliance has arrived.”
They also saw the sudden appearance of the six massive palace treasures in the distance. The six palace treasures exuded boundless pressure, obviously a deliberate display of power by the Cosmic Sovereigns within.
…
The six grand palace treasures of the Free Alliance arrived in a grand procession, exuding endless pressure, as if displaying their might as the Original Universe’s top power.
“Humanity, we have arrived.”
“We have arrived!”
Although this space-time was affected by those ultimate beings, forcing the Virtual Universe to retreat, they all had avatars in their own clan territories… naturally still able to connect to the Virtual Universe. Thus, each of the six palace treasures had a representative, clearly representing the six factions, all contacting humanity.
“Free Alliance, please assist our human race quickly. Let us join forces and repel the enemy alliance,” Chaos City Lord responded.
“Not in a hurry.”
“Chaos City Lord, don’t rush.”
“You humans, first give us part of the inheritance information! As agreed, part before the battle, and the rest after. You give us part of the inheritance information first… once we’ve viewed and verified it, we will naturally help you. Otherwise, we can’t easily take action.”
“Right.”
“First, give us part of the inheritance information.”
The leaders of the six factions of the Free Alliance all said the same.
