Luo Feng and the Chaos City Lord left the Ancestor God Palace and arrived in the Original Universe.
On a continent within the Original Universe, Luo Feng and the Chaos City Lord appeared side by side. In the distant haze, a figure coalesced—a man in white robes smiling as he approached.
“Master!!!” The Chaos City Lord trembled, tears spilling from his eyes even before he had taken a few steps forward.
The White Robed Yuanzu approached, smiling as he examined the Chaos City Lord. “Foolish child! Indeed, you are not the same as before. Seeing you in the virtual universe is not the same as seeing you in reality.”
The Chaos City Lord could not help but weep even more.
Among all beings in this world, Yuanzu was the one he felt closest to—Yuanzu had guided him all along.
“Master,” the Chaos City Lord’s voice quivered.
“Alright,” Yuanzu nodded. “I never expected the Primordial Will to release its suppression over my consciousness. This matter also owes much to Luo Feng!”
“Senior Ancestor,” Luo Feng bowed respectfully.
Yuanzu was the earliest leader of the human race. Without him, humanity might not have had the qualifications to become a supreme race. Without him, there would be no Chaos City Lord, no Axe King, and perhaps Luo Feng’s own fate would have been vastly different—he might not have reached his current height.
Yuanzu’s contributions were so immense that it was only fitting he was revered as the Ancestor of Humanity.
“My small universe, enhanced by my will, can endure longer even if devoured by Realm Beasts,” Yuanzu said calmly. “My will is far stronger than that of other True Gods.”
Luo Feng nodded.
The stronger one’s will, the more difficult it was for Realm Beasts to consume the Primordial Essence it supported.
In terms of comprehension and attainment, Yuanzu was completely at the level of a Void True God—only held back from breaking through due to constant suppression. As for his will, it had long been suppressed by the Primordial Will! Such oppression was also a form of tempering. Yuanzu’s will had indeed reached an astonishingly high level, rivaling even Luo Feng’s extraordinary fate.
“Go,” Yuanzu said. “The Realm Beasts are coming soon. You need not worry about me. Dealing with the Realm Beast catastrophe is the most important task.”
“Hmm,” the Chaos City Lord nodded.
Luo Feng nodded as well.
Luo Feng deeply admired Yuanzu, for Yuanzu had created the ‘Virtual Universe’ secret technique without ever receiving ancient inheritances. Moreover, Yuanzu’s character was as gentle as a breeze, as refined as a noble gentleman. No one knew exactly what he had done in the past to violate the Supreme Rules.
…
At the Milky Way Sanctuary, the number of powerful experts from various races continued to grow. Previously, only representatives had come from each race, but now they were gradually gathering in full force.
Many True Gods’ original bodies gathered here, all connected to the Virtual Universe through divine avatar projections.
Within the Virtual Universe, atop the floating temple.
Luo Feng and the Chaos City Lord sat upon it, with other True Gods seated around.
“Everyone,” Luo Feng looked down upon the assembly. “The small universes of the Second Cycle Era will soon be completely destroyed. The Realm Beasts’ movements are of utmost importance. I have a method to know the positions of all Realm Beasts. Now I shall reveal all their positions to you.”
A murmur of astonishment and joy spread through the crowd below.
Everyone was guarding their own small universes, so naturally they needed to know the Realm Beasts’ movements to better prepare defenses.
“Observe,” Luo Feng pointed toward the empty space ahead. Instantly, a massive map appeared, spanning a diameter of a million kilometers, marking numerous small universes. “This is the Cosmic Sea map, showing both Holy Universes, all small universes, and other reference points.”
All the True Gods gazed at it.
“These are the Realm Beasts’ positions,” Luo Feng announced.
Dense clusters of light points appeared on the map. The sheer number of them caused the True Gods’ expressions to darken and their hearts to tighten.
Nine hundred thousand?
Easier said than done. When nearly nine hundred thousand light points appeared, the density was indeed oppressive even to True Gods.
“Observe,” Luo Feng continued. “Of the nine hundred thousand Realm Beasts, half remain on the outermost edge, not yet moving. About ten thousand are scattered around three small universes, currently devouring them. The remaining approximately half are advancing toward our Original Universe.”
The map made everything clear.
Indeed, about four hundred and fifty thousand light points were continuously moving toward the Original Universe.
Hearing about it was one thing, but seeing nearly four hundred and fifty thousand light points approaching caused everyone’s scalp to tingle and their hearts to pound.
“How do we resist?”
“How can we resist so many Realm Beasts?”
“We have fewer than a hundred True Gods altogether. If thousands of Realm Beasts devour a single small universe together, we can only affect dozens of them at most. What should we do?”
Panic spread among the races.
They had been troubled by this issue for a long time.
“This is a disaster,” bellowed the Nine Nether Master. “Survival itself would be fortunate for us. Resistance? Even if our miniature universes are consumed, what recourse do we have? We can still live decent lives! So long as our generation of True Gods exterminates all the Realm Beasts… mark my words, new True Gods will arise among all factions.”
Luo Feng’s rise had occurred within merely a trillion eons.
According to predictions, there were still several trillion eons remaining before the end of this Cycle Era. Many talents cultivated during the previous trillion eons had become Cosmic Sovereigns. Given sufficient time, they could break through to True God status.
Several trillion eons… producing nearly a hundred new True Gods within the Original Universe would not be difficult.
“As long as we eliminate the Realm Beasts, new True Gods will emerge! Even if all our small universes are destroyed, we can still rely on those new small universes in the future,” the Nine Nether Master declared directly. “As long as a future True God succeeds in breaking through the Cycle, their race will become eternal.”
“We must survive this catastrophe at all costs.”
“Right.”
Many True Gods shouted.
However, many others remained anxious. Major powers like humanity and the Ancestor God Sect could expect new True Gods to emerge within the next several trillion eons. But for smaller races, like alien factions within the Hong Alliance or races from remote regions, producing even one True God was considered fortunate. Producing another would be extremely difficult?
Moreover!
Not every True God was willing to let their small universe perish. Once a small universe was destroyed, further breakthroughs would no longer be possible.
“Milky Way, Yuanzu!” The True Gods from the human faction were most reluctant to see Yuanzu and Luo Feng’s small universes destroyed.
Because both Luo Feng and Yuanzu had the potential to become Void True Gods and transcend the Cycle!
…
Though their minds were in turmoil, the races had no other choice but to do their utmost.
Even Luo Feng had already resolved himself: “No matter what, surviving this catastrophe is the most important!” Luo Feng had already mentally prepared for his small universe’s destruction, though unwilling, he had accepted the possibility.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng noticed someone below.
Among the many True Gods at the gathering, in a corner, sat a figure—Zuoshan Ke.
“Master?” A thought stirred in Luo Feng’s mind. Zuoshan Ke nodded slightly toward him.
“Master has come as well,” Luo Feng mused. Previously, Zuoshan Ke usually did not attend True God meetings. But now, with the survival of the entire Original Universe at stake, even the usually aloof Zuoshan Ke had come, for his own small universe was also under threat.
…
Time passed.
Curses and resentful messages arrived through communication tokens from the True Gods of the First Cycle Era and the Second Cycle Era. Those surviving True Gods had hidden themselves in the vast Cosmic Sea, while their small universes, races, subordinates, and everything else had been annihilated.
Currently, the Realm Beasts were divided into two groups.
Each group slightly exceeded four hundred and fifty thousand Realm Beasts!
“Master,” Marosar pointed at the Cosmic Sea model. “The Realm Beasts are divided into two groups. The first group of four hundred and fifty thousand Realm Beasts has remained on the outermost edge, scattered across the area originally occupied by the small universes of the First Cycle Era, each spaced far apart.”
Luo Feng observed the model.
Over four hundred and fifty thousand light points clustered densely in that area. Although the model displayed them as tightly packed, in reality, each light point was more than ten million light-years apart.
“The other group is advancing toward us,” Marosar pointed. “Look, this second group of four hundred and fifty thousand Realm Beasts is not heading toward all the small universes of the Original Universe, but directly toward you, Master.”
Luo Feng examined closely.
The Original Universe was incredibly vast, so the small universes of the Original Universe’s True Gods were scattered in various directions around it. If the Realm Beasts were to invade all these small universes, the four hundred and fifty thousand Realm Beasts should have dispersed into dozens of groups. Yet now, they remained clustered together.
Dense clusters of light points all advanced toward Luo Feng’s small universe.
Although described as clustered, each Realm Beast was still more than ten million light-years apart.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng frowned. “What does this mean?”
“Estimate one hour, and the four hundred and fifty thousand Realm Beasts will reach Master’s small universe,” Marosar said.
Time passed second by second.
Soon, the massive, dense swarm of four hundred and fifty thousand Realm Beasts began gradually approaching Luo Feng’s small universe from all directions.
“Targeting my small universe?” Luo Feng frowned.
He held the Star Tower in his grasp, a King-level treasure. The divine body of the King of Jin stood over a hundred million light-years tall. In theory, such a King-level treasure could expand to billions or even more light-years in height. However, the larger the Star Tower grew, the more divine power it consumed.
“If cornered, I’ll use the Star Tower to shield my small universe and then massacre these Realm Beasts,” Luo Feng thought.
However, controlling the Star Tower to grow that large meant Luo Feng could not be too far away.
“Master!”
Marosar exclaimed in alarm. “Master, the first group… the first group…”
“Hmm?” Luo Feng looked sharply.
The first group of four hundred and fifty thousand Realm Beasts, originally stationed in the First Cycle Era area, suddenly began pairing up, moving closely together.
“Master,” Marosar cried. “The second group of four hundred and fifty thousand Realm Beasts is already surrounding Master’s small universe. They will reach the range to devour it in just one minute. However, the first group of Realm Beasts has begun pairing up and fighting among themselves. In just a short while, over one hundred thousand Realm Beasts have already perished!”
Luo Feng’s expression changed drastically.
He understood.
Those four hundred and fifty thousand Realm Beasts, fighting in pairs, with the victors continuing to fight in pairs… would inevitably give rise to a sixth-stage Realm Beast!
Would Luo Feng go to stop them?
If he went to stop them,
The four hundred and fifty thousand Realm Beasts surrounding Luo Feng’s small universe would certainly devour it without mercy! If Luo Feng stayed to protect his own small universe… he could only watch helplessly as a sixth-stage Realm Beast emerged.
The destruction of the small universe and the emergence of a sixth-stage Realm Beast—only one could happen.
This was a trap!
Forcing Luo Feng into a choice!
