Luo Feng’s mind was in chaos, countless thoughts surfacing.
The Purple Moon Holy Land?
He hadn’t entered the Cosmic Sea for long, and the only one who truly bore a grudge against him was the ‘Divine Eye Clan.’ The two Holy Lands couldn’t really be considered enemies. The Eastern Emperor Holy Land had some entanglements due to a transaction issue, but as for the Purple Moon Holy Land… from beginning to end, they were just like other forces in the Cosmic Sea. When everyone rushed to seize the inheritance, the Purple Moon Holy Land also joined the scramble—but not wholeheartedly. Back then, the Eastern Emperor Holy Land directly occupied the most critical and core area, attempting to seize the Coffin Ship. However, the Purple Moon Holy Land merely stayed on the periphery alongside other forces… and during the entire battle, they had never contacted Luo Feng or attempted any trade with him.
“They didn’t even try to negotiate. The Purple Moon Holy Land has always remained aloof, but why now…” Luo Feng’s heart brimmed with resentment.
How could he not be angry?
The favorable situation for the human race was completely ruined by the Purple Moon Holy Land, turning it into an extremely dangerous predicament.
“I have many clones and the Star Tower of the Coffin Ship. The Purple Moon Ancestor should understand this well… no matter how chaotic and fierce the battle becomes, I can absolutely survive,” Luo Feng muttered inwardly. “He wants to use force to coerce me into surrendering the inheritance. That’s absolutely impossible. Then why would he target me? Why target humanity?”
“And if he truly wanted the inheritance, at the very least, he should have attempted negotiations first.”
Based on various clues, Luo Feng deduced:
The Purple Moon Holy Land wasn’t particularly invested in the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage. Especially the Purple Moon Ancestor himself, whose desire for this inheritance didn’t seem particularly strong. So why would he target Luo Feng and humanity?
Mystery upon mystery… Luo Feng only felt that the Purple Moon Ancestor must have other intentions.
“What exactly does the Purple Moon Ancestor intend to do? He would rather divulge ancient civilization inheritance information to the Free Alliance than spare me and humanity?” Luo Feng sensed that there must be many secrets he was yet to uncover.
…
Inside the grand hall.
After Island Lord Shihua finished speaking, he directly said, “This incident was my failure. However, since I have obtained partial information from you, I will not intervene in this battle.” With that, he vanished into thin air.
Luo Feng, Dark, Chaos, and Penggong watched Shihua leave but made no attempt to stop him.
They understood that if they agreed to provide Shihua with complete cultivation information to reach the peak of a Cosmic Sovereign, he might side with humanity… but a single Cosmic Sovereign wouldn’t significantly affect the overall situation. If he had truly been willing to spread it, he would have already rallied a large group of Sovereigns.
“Prepare for battle,” Chaos City Lord said gravely.
“Right.”
Luo Feng, Penggong, and Dark nodded solemnly.
…
Inside one of the six palaces of the Free Alliance, the one controlled by Island Lord Shihua.
“Shihua, this time it was our mistake. Please forgive us.”
“Brother Shihua, this time Guangxing Lord can bring enormous benefits to each of us Cosmic Sovereigns, so we temporarily followed his lead. Once this battle concludes and we obtain the inheritance information, Guangxing… he won’t be qualified to lead us anymore. The most respected leader of our Free Alliance will still be you.”
“Yes, we’ve always supported you, Shihua.”
A large group of Cosmic Sovereigns from Shihua’s faction successively consoled him, knowing they had greatly displeased him this time.
“Enough, I understand your intentions. What you did isn’t wrong,” Shihua swept his gaze across the room, also glancing toward the front palace exit, inwardly sighing. Though they belonged to his faction, they weren’t his slaves. Hence, they all stood near the exit, clearly fearing that Shihua might defect to humanity, capturing them all and offering them as bargaining chips to the humans.
And now, they all stood near the exit.
If the power of over seventy Cosmic Sovereigns erupted… combined with many having clones, their instantaneous force could rival eight or nine Cosmic Sovereigns, easily breaking through the exit and escaping the palace treasure’s constraints.
“Prepare for battle,” Shihua transmitted mentally.
Although this plan had failed, Shihua was not yet prepared to openly sever ties. After all, the Free Alliance was internally divided, with each faction refusing to submit to the others, and no one could seize absolute power. However, as the leader of his own faction and the sole Sovereign, he naturally commanded universal respect. Consequently, he wielded considerable authority.
This time, Lord Guangxing had temporarily gained obedience from all Cosmic Sovereigns by presenting ‘ancient inheritance information given by the Purple Moon Ancestor,’ but once they obtained this ancient civilization inheritance information, who would still listen to Guangxing? After all, many had grudges against him.
…
“Hahaha!” The Yuzu Demon Ancestor transmitted arrogantly, “Never expected humans to be so foolish as to even provoke your Free Alliance. With the Free Alliance joining forces with our coalition, we now command over 800 Cosmic Sovereigns and more than ten Cosmic Overlords—nearly eighty percent of the supreme forces in the Primordial Universe. These insignificant humans are utterly unworthy of opposing us! Their defeat is inevitable!”
“Yes, doomed!”
“These insignificant humans dare to resist? Probably a single coordinated attack from us will completely shatter their defenses, causing massive casualties among their Cosmic Sovereigns.”
In no time, the allied forces and the Free Alliance rapidly approached, communicating through divine power transmissions, clearly ecstatic and brimming with absolute confidence. Jokingly, over 800 Cosmic Sovereigns! More than ten Cosmic Sovereigns! Such an overwhelming force—no faction in the Primordial Universe could resist; only to be crushed.
“The timid cowards of the human faction are hiding inside the Star Tower; we can’t even harm them.”
“Surround them!”
“Surround the Star Tower!”
“Yes, surround it completely. Once they emerge from the Star Tower’s entrance, we’ll launch a collective attack… hahaha, do you think they can withstand our combined assault?”
“Unless they stay inside the Star Tower forever.”
“If they indeed remain forever inside the Star Tower, then we’ll just keep them trapped and suppressed. Only a third of our Cosmic Sovereigns and Sovereigns stationed here can prevent any resistance from the humans. Meanwhile, we can seize their territories.”
“Without territory and eternally trapped! Unless they retreat to the Original Universe… but retreating there, deprived of resources from the Primordial Universe, the humans will have no future and pose no further threat.”
…
The towering Nine-Layered Star Tower.
Surrounding the void, the allied forces and Free Alliance’s palace treasures floated like massive fortresses in various positions, beginning to move and encircle the Star Tower, forming a giant sphere. The Star Tower was the ‘center’ of the sphere, while the palace treasures were distributed across the ‘surface,’ completely surrounding the Star Tower.
“Over 800 Cosmic Sovereigns! More than ten Sovereigns!”
Inside the Ancestral God Altar, the group of Cosmic Sovereigns from the Ancestral God Sect and the three Ancestral Gods were in a state of panic.
“Such terrifying power.”
“Humans have absolutely no hope of victory,” they all became completely frantic.
“Don’t panic! Regardless, although we, the Ancestral God Sect, wish to assist the humans, in this situation, if we emerge from the Ancestral God Altar, we’ll surely be bombarded by hundreds of Cosmic Sovereigns, resulting in immediate casualties. Therefore, in this battle, we can only hide inside the Ancestral God Altar and passively defend,” the aged Ancestral God roared. “We only need to stay inside the Ancestral God Altar. All physical attacks can be blocked by it. With the combined strength of us three Ancestral Gods and the Primordial Universe’s will’s blessing, no soul attacks can penetrate our ethereal divine power defenses.”
“Yes, we needn’t worry. However, we can’t assist the humans. I believe the humans will understand our predicament.”
The three Ancestral Gods and the group of Cosmic Sovereigns from the Ancestral God Sect swiftly reached a decision.
They would conceal themselves within the Ancestral Altar, maintaining a full defense and absolutely not revealing their presence! No matter what, preserving their lives was the utmost priority. After all, confronting over 800 Cosmic Sovereigns and more than ten Sovereigns… who would dare to challenge them?
…
Inside the Star Tower, panic spread.
Over 100 Cosmic Sovereigns had unobstructed vision, seeing through the Star Tower the numerous palace treasures encircling them in the void.
“Humans, surrender immediately!”
“Surrender the ancient civilization inheritance!”
“From Cosmic Sovereign to the peak of Sovereign inheritance, hand it all over to us. Once we confirm it, we’ll immediately withdraw. If not… from today onward, humanity will have no place in this Primordial Universe. Your territories… will no longer belong to humanity.”
“Surrender the inheritance!”
“Surrender the inheritance!”
A series of majestic voices directly echoed into the Star Tower.
Inside the Star Tower, the 100+ Cosmic Sovereigns, especially the alien Cosmic Sovereigns, were in chaos. Chaos City Lord, Luo Feng, Dark Sovereign, Penggong Sovereign, Longxing Sovereign, Huangjian Sovereign… and other human Cosmic Sovereigns glanced around, realizing that even if they issued orders forcefully, these alien Cosmic Sovereigns probably wouldn’t go to the exit to attack.
After all, those aliens had no intention of sacrificing themselves.
“Forcing us humans to surrender the inheritance?” Chaos City Lord’s face darkened.
“They sure have a beautiful imagination,” Luo Feng also stared outside.
Those various races…
Viewed humans as a major threat, but once humans surrendered the inheritance, then the insect race, beast race, mechanical race, etc., could continuously grow stronger. Thus, even if humans grew stronger in the future, their threat wouldn’t be significant. Therefore, the allied forces considered two options—either obtaining the inheritance and withdrawing or directly expelling humans from the Primordial Universe; both were acceptable outcomes.
“Luo Feng!” Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng.
“Luo Feng!” Dark Sovereign also turned his gaze.
“Milky Way!” Penggong looked at Luo Feng.
One by one, the human Cosmic Sovereigns looked at Luo Feng. They all knew the plan and understood how reckless and dangerous it was. Yet, in this dire situation, only Luo Feng’s plan had a chance of success. However, this plan… was completely staking Luo Feng’s life on it.
“Leave it to me,” Luo Feng’s eyes gleamed sharply.
“Be careful,” Chaos City Lord couldn’t help but remind.
“Rest assured,” Luo Feng looked outside at the numerous towering palace treasures, “Do they really think they can kill me?”
Though he spoke lightly, it was against over 800 Cosmic Sovereigns and more than ten Sovereigns.
“Expand! Expand! Expand!!!” Luo Feng’s aura surged, and the already towering Star Tower suddenly began expanding rapidly. From billions of kilometers in height to trillions of kilometers… it expanded outward wildly, colliding with the surrounding palace treasures that had encircled it…
