Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 508 The Butterfly's Wings: A Vast Territory

"Lord of All Realms!"

The mechanical god quickly added, "No matter what, it's absolutely impossible for your human race to occupy half of the core territory!"

"How about this? My Machine Race is willing to cede fifty star sectors to your Human Race. If you are willing, my Machine Race will directly withdraw from the fifty star sectors adjacent to your Human Race!"

"My Zerg are also willing to cede fifty star sectors to your human race!" the Zerg Queen retorted.

In fact, long before this meeting, the Zerg Queen and the Machine Father had already reached an agreement to advance and retreat together.

As for the demon race, they didn't intend to interfere!
That's still not enough!

Lu Qingshan immediately said, "Currently, the core territory has about 4,500 star sectors. Our human race can take a step back and occupy two-fifths of this core territory, which is 1,800 star sectors. Your three races can each occupy one-fifth, which is 900 star sectors!"

"This..." After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, both the Zerg Queen and the Mechanical Father God hesitated.

The allocation method Lu Qingshan mentioned was equivalent to each of their two races contributing one hundred star sectors. Although this was painful for them, it was still within their means.

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan spoke again and promised, "As you all know, the Chaos City Lord of our human race is the next strongest being in our original universe with the greatest potential to break through to the level of the strongest being in the universe. As long as you accept this condition, our human race can promise that even if the Chaos City Lord breaks through to the level of the strongest being in the universe, he will not expand his territory again!"

"This..." After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the Zerg Queen and the Mechanical Father God became even more hesitant.

In fact, they had already discovered during the previous great battle that the Lord of Darkness, a renowned super-powerful being in the cosmic sea, was a member of the human race.

Given the intensity of the war at the time, the role that a fifth-order universe lord like the Dark Lord could play was not significant, so they didn't pay much attention to it for the time being.

Now that the war is over, they naturally have to consider this matter.

Now that the human race has three fifth-order universe lords—the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Penggong, and the Lord of Darkness—and even an incredible sixth-order universe lord like Lu Qingshan, the probability of someone breaking through to the realm of the strongest in the universe in the future is still very high. At that time, they may expand their territory again.

Now that Lu Qingshan has made a promise, even if it means giving up a hundred star sectors to the human race, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to accept.

Just as the Machine Race Father God and the Zerg Queen were still hesitating, the extremely angry roar of the Dream Demon Ancestor echoed in this void.

"This is impossible!"

The Dream Demon Ancestor roared angrily, "You think you can shrink my demon race's territory to one-fifth of its core territory? You're dreaming!"

In fact, not only was the Dream Demon Ancestor extremely angry, but even the Tremor Demon Ancestor, who had been calm all along, roared angrily: "Lord of all realms, don't forget that my demon race has two of the strongest beings in the universe, and even Meng Cha and I have supreme treasures protecting us!"

"Currently, my demon race occupies one-third of the core territory. Although your human race is powerful now, it is simply impossible for my demon race to give up nearly half of its territory!"

Perhaps Lu Qingshan's request wasn't excessive for the Zerg and Mech races, as they only needed to cede one-tenth of their territory.

But for the demon race, it means giving up 600 of the 1,500 star sectors they originally occupied, which is almost two-fifths of their original territory. How could they accept that?
Thinking of this, Zhen Yaozu looked at Lu Qingshan again, and even the Zerg Queen and the Mechanical Father God. Then he said coldly, "Lord of all realms, mechanical beings, and the Queen, the conditions put forward by the human race are absolutely unacceptable to my demon race. Even if it means starting another war, we are willing to fight to the death!"

Upon hearing this, the Zerg Queen and the Machine Father felt both helpless and angry.

Now, the human race wants to occupy more territory, while the demon race is unwilling to give up much territory. Wouldn't the two races have to bear the burden of the extra territory?

We are all top-tier races, so are the Zerg and the Machine races just easy to bully?
Even the Zerg Queen and the Machine Father God wanted to join forces with the human race to put pressure on the demon race, but after careful consideration, they abandoned the idea.

After all, the Demon Ancestor had already said he was willing to fight to the death. If the demon race were really pushed to the limit, an even more terrifying war might break out between the four peak races.

Although the human race, the insectoid race, and the machine race can easily defeat the demon race by joining forces, as long as the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor are there, the demon race will not fall. At that time, they will have to bear the revenge of the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Tremor Demon Ancestor.

At this moment, the powerful figures present had different thoughts, and the situation quickly fell into a stalemate again.

After all, the struggle for territory has always been the most important conflict among the four dominant races!
Only by possessing sufficient territory can their respective clans produce more geniuses and powerful individuals, and naturally, no one would willingly concede.

After a while...

"Lord of All Realms!"

The Demon Ancestor of the Demon Clan broke the deadlock by speaking first: "With your current strength, you should be able to break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe more easily than that Chaos City Lord!"

"Once you break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe, all your clones will have to merge into one. At that time, you won't be able to unleash the combat power of three top-tier sixth-order beings like you do now!"

"How about this, let's all compromise. My demon race is willing to give up 150 star sectors to your human race, while the insect race and the machine race will each give up 100 star sectors to your human race!"

"If you agree, our demon race can now hand over 150 star sectors adjacent to your human race's territory to your human race!"

"Zhen Jiao!" After hearing Zhen Yaozu's words, Meng Yaozu quickly transmitted his voice anxiously.

"Mengcha, this is actually a pretty good result!"

Zhen Yaozu quickly responded telepathically: "As long as the Lord of All Realms agrees to this distribution method, it will be quite good for our demon race!"

"As long as my demon race can become stronger in the future, these lost territories can naturally be reclaimed, and even become larger!"

After hearing Zhen Yaozu's words, Meng Yaozu, though unwilling, knew that this result was already quite good.

After all, the overall strength of the human race is currently stronger than that of the demon race. According to the distribution plan of the Demon Ancestor, the territory occupied by the demon race is about the same size as that of the human race, which is about 1,350 star sectors.

Meanwhile, the Mechanical Father God and the Zerg Queen were both moved after hearing Zhen Yaozu's words.

After all, what Zhen Yaozu said did not ask their two races to give up more star sectors, but only reduced the star sectors they gave to the human race.

Moreover, what Zhen Yaozu said makes a lot of sense. After all, the Lord of All Realms couldn't possibly delay breaking through to the strongest realm in the universe just for the sake of the human race.

Thinking of this, the Zerg Queen quickly spoke up: "My Zerg race agrees to the demon race's distribution plan!"

“My mechanical race agrees as well!” the mechanical race’s father god also said.

After hearing the words of the mechanical race's father god and other powerful figures, Lu Qingshan felt extremely disdainful.

Firstly, he is going to take the path of divine power to break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe, so he will not break through in a short period of time.

Secondly, once he truly breaks through to the realm of the strongest in the universe, he will inevitably be even more terrifying than the original ancestor. At that time, the three factions of the demon race will probably have to give up more territory!

"Shake the Demon Ancestor!"

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Qingshan quickly spoke again: "Your demon race's current strength is far inferior to that of my human race, so how can you occupy the same territory as my human race?"

"As for whether I will break through to the level of the strongest in the universe, you four don't need to worry about that!"

"As long as I haven't broken through, my human race will have four top-tier sixth-order warriors in this primordial universe, and will be qualified to occupy more territory!"

"With the current strength of our human race, occupying two-fifths of the core territory is not much! As for the remaining three-fifths, you can discuss how to allocate them yourselves!" As soon as Lu Qingshan finished speaking, the expressions of all the powerful figures present changed slightly.

They never expected that Lu Qingshan's attitude would be so resolute, and that his words even implied that he would give up breaking through to the realm of the strongest in the universe in order to allow the human race to occupy a larger territory.

If they were in Lu Qingshan's position, they definitely wouldn't have been able to do that.

However, Lu Qingshan's resolute attitude has made it even more difficult for them to make a decision.

Next, the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race negotiated directly or through telepathy, constantly discussing the issue of territory allocation.

After all, territory is the foundation of a race's development, and no star sector can be easily abandoned.

Thus, after some telepathic communication, the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race reached an agreement once again.

"Lord of All Realms!"

After the agreement was reached, the Zerg Queen spoke first, saying, "Our Zerg are willing to hand over 150 star sectors adjacent to your human race to your human race. This is our bottom line!"

"My Machine Race is also willing to hand over 150 star sectors to your human race!"

The Mechanical God also spoke up, saying, "This is also the bottom line for my Mechanical race. If your human race is unwilling, even if it means starting another war, my Mechanical race will fight to the bitter end!"

"My demon race is willing to withdraw from the three hundred star sectors adjacent to your human race!"

At this moment, Zhen Yaozu said with great reluctance, "My demon race shares the same attitude as the insect race and the mechanical race. This is also my demon race's bottom line!"

"Furthermore, if you, the future Lord of all realms, break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe, and your human race can no longer maintain the current advantage in the primordial universe, then this territory will definitely have to be redistributed!"

Upon hearing Zhen Yaozu's words, Lu Qingshan remained noncommittal.

After all, once he breaks through to the level of the strongest in the universe, it will be a question whether the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race will still dare to compete with him for territory.

However, this time the distribution plan among the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race is quite sincere.

Currently, the demon race occupies the largest number of star sectors in the core territory, totaling 1,500, while the human race, demon race, and insect race each occupy about 1,000 star sectors.

Now that the Demon Race has handed over 300 star sectors, they only have 1,200 star sectors left. The Zerg Race and the Machine Race have handed over 150 star sectors, leaving each of them with only about 850 star sectors.

On the contrary, the human race, after receiving the territories ceded by the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race, directly expanded its territory to more than 1,600 cosmic kingdoms!

Such a vast territory is unmatched, even by the vast territories previously occupied by the demon race!
Although this is still a bit far from the two-fifths of the core territory he wanted to occupy, it is already quite good and can be considered to have reached the bottom line of the human race.

After a brief moment of thought, Lu Qingshan quickly said, "This allocation plan is quite good; my human race agrees!"

"I hope that your three races can relocate their people from these territories as soon as possible. My human race will move into these territories in ten years. I hope that no major conflicts will occur at that time!"

Upon hearing that Lu Qingshan had agreed to the distribution plan, the Zerg Queen, the Mechanical Father God, and the Demon Ancestor were heartbroken, but they were also slightly relieved.

However, the Dream Demon Ancestor, standing to the side, sneered at Lu Qingshan, "Lord of all realms, I hope your human race can continue to be so smug!"

After saying this, the figure of the Dream Demon Ancestor vanished into the starry sky.

Meanwhile, the Demon Ancestor, the Zerg Queen, and the Mechanical Father God discussed the withdrawal and relocation of their territories with Lu Qingshan for a while before disappearing.

After the voices of Zhen Yaozu and other powerful figures disappeared, Lu Qingshan looked at the endless starry sky around him, feeling a mix of emotions.

"More than 1,600 cosmic nations!"

At this moment, Lu Qingshan's gaze seemed to pierce through endless space, seeing the territories that the demon race, insect race, and mechanical race were about to withdraw from: "After a long period of time, I finally have the strength to influence the fate of the human race!"

It should be noted that Lu Qingshan's smooth journey was not only due to the help of the All-Heavens Chat Group, but also largely due to the assistance of the human race.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan has always been willing to contribute his own strength to the rise of the human race.

He had previously plotted to enslave the Demon Lord, a demon race cosmic master who appeared in the original work, and the Demon Lord successfully broke through to the cosmic master realm after being enslaved by him.

Later, Lu Qingshan obtained the inheritance left by the Fire Void Beast God 'Burning Void' in the Cosmic Sea. After contributing many treasures and the inheritance related to the Path of the Beast God, he not only improved the strength of many universe lords in the human race, but also made many strong people in the human race suitable for cultivating the Path of the Beast God. Even the Star Prison Demon Lord took this opportunity to break through to the realm of universe lord.

But whether it was the Lord of the Netherworld who was enslaved by him, the treasures and inheritance left behind by the Fire Sky Beast God 'Burning Sky', or the Star Prison Demon Lord who broke through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, at most they only slightly affected the human race.

Only now!

It is important to understand that territory is the foundation of a people's development!
The four dominant clans have fought endlessly for the sake of this core territory.

Now, thanks to Lu Qingshan, the territory occupied by the human race is about to expand from 1008 universe kingdoms to 1608 universe kingdoms, which will have a very profound impact on the entire human race.

After occupying more territory, the human race will have more resources, and at the same time, more geniuses and strongmen will be born.

Just like the demon race, which previously occupied the most territory, the number of both Universe Venerables and Universe Lords was the largest among the four peak races.

Today, the human race occupies a territory even larger than that of the demon race in the past, and in the future, there will naturally be even more universe masters than the demon race.

Of course, now that the demon race has had several universe lords completely wiped out by the human race, the number of universe lords is now slightly less than that of the human race.

"It will be a long time before Luo Feng rises to power as depicted in the original story!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "I believe that during this period, our human race will also undergo more changes, and perhaps we will have two or three more Universe Lords and hundreds of Universe Venerables!"

Lu Qingshan's request may not seem high, but the Lord of the Universe is still a rare find.

Under normal circumstances, only a few thousand universe masters can be born in a single cycle of reincarnation.

In the original work, the human race almost monopolized the primordial universe, and with the help of many inheritances that Luo Feng received, only a little over a thousand universe lords were born when the primordial universe was destroyed.

Although the human race has expanded its territory considerably, it is still a long way from dominating the original universe. Therefore, it would be quite remarkable if two or three more universe masters were born before Luo Feng's rise to power.

"but……"

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think to himself, "With my appearance this time, given Uncle Chaos's talent and comprehension, he might be able to break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe before Luo Feng rises!"

"In any case, the fate of our human race has finally undergone a tremendous change. Now it's time to inform the strong members of our human race of this news!"

With this in mind, Lu Qingshan returned to the original universe via the divine kingdom teleportation while focusing his main consciousness on the virtual universe.
