Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 343 Showdown! Earth's Origins, The Giant Axe's Decision

At the summit of Thunder Mountain in the virtual universe, inside the palace of the Dark Lord.

Luo Feng slowly stepped forward and respectfully addressed Qin Ming, the Lord of Darkness, who was standing and chatting not far away.

"Teacher, senior brother!"

The Lord of Darkness glanced at Luo Feng and nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this disciple.

If it weren't for Qin Ming's example, Luo Feng's talent and ability would definitely be the most outstanding, no less than Tian Shi's back then, and even stronger in some aspects.

"What's the matter?"

"Master, some time ago I was fortunate enough to obtain a legacy, and only recently did I learn that it was left behind by the strongest lone traveler in the universe, the Mountain Guest."

Luo Feng said respectfully.

"If I pass his test, I can choose to become his disciple. He told me many things, such as that the Yan God Clan was created by him."

Even my lineage on Earth was secretly influenced by him…

After discussing with Qin Ming, he also decided to reveal everything, except for the Star Tower, which he would omit for the time being.

This includes some secrets obtained from the Mountain Dweller and Puti.

For example, it was stated directly that Yan Di was his second disciple, and that the Yan God Clan and the Earth Clan were trained by Zuo Shan Ke.

Earth is indeed special, but its value lies in making the souls of life born within it stronger, comparable to the most precious treasures.

The ultimate treasure is naturally extremely valuable, and even the Lord of the Universe would covet it.

When he first stepped off Earth, Qin Ming took many precautions to conceal Earth's special characteristics.

Later, after becoming a disciple of the Master of Qianwu, he simply brought Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen into the Qianwu Secret Realm.

He had even considered that if Earth were exposed, the potential problems could be dealt with by Teacher Qianwu first, buying him time to grow.

Unexpectedly, his strength improved much faster than he had anticipated.

This is not Qin Ming boasting.

With his current strength and financial resources, he is quite confident that he can arm himself and fight a universe master of the level of Sirius Lord.

With a set of ultimate treasures at his disposal, he is no less powerful than an ordinary universe master.

He already has enough power to protect the Earth.

Who would offend him for a supreme treasure?
"The Mountain Dweller?"

"The Mountain-Sitting Folk and your Earth actually have this kind of connection?"

When Luo Feng slowly recounted the events, the Lord of Darkness frowned, looked at Qin Ming and Luo Feng, and then calmed down.

I'll become the disciple of the strongest being in the universe!
He is also connected to the Yan God Clan and Earth.

Qin Ming and Luo Feng were both born on Earth, and the Yan God Clan even possessed heaven-defying divine physiques. The "Perfect Secret Manual" created by Qin Ming came from the Yan God Clan!
This mountain dweller is so powerful and unpredictable?
"This is a good thing! This is a good thing for Luo Feng, and even for the human race."

My powerful soul may have some connection to Earth, but the main reason is that I had other opportunities, and it has little to do with the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

Qin Ming listened quietly. This matter was a good opportunity to bring some things out into the open.

He is already deeply intertwined with the human race, so there's no need to hide it.

"Ah."

The Lord of Darkness finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was best that Qin Ming had no connection with that Mountain Guest. It would be laughable if humanity's strongest genius were cultivated by an alien race.

"Tell this news to Giant Axe and your senior uncle. Now that you've broken through your strength, Earth is also your territory, so you need to protect it well."

"That's exactly what I'm planning to do too."

Qin Ming nodded. Whenever a universe master breaks through, their hometown becomes their absolute territory, and the human race will try to protect it.

Earth can also take this opportunity to directly receive preferential treatment in terms of high-level human resources, as well as overall protection.

In the original timeline, after Luo Feng regained Earth with the power of a master of the universe, he also returned the top-tier treasure that had been given to him to Earth in exchange for the merits, and built a powerful defense network for Earth.

Over the course of thousands of years, Qin Ming did not interfere much with Earth's development, but under the leadership of Jia Yi and others, and with the backing of the Qianwu Secret Realm, it has developed into a medium-sized universe nation.

They hold an even more extraordinary position within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

After this, Earth's resources and environment will be better, and more geniuses and strong individuals will emerge in the future.

brush!
As they were talking, the Chaos City Lord in golden robes and the Giant Axe Founder, who looked like a savage, walked over, their expressions quite solemn.

They weren't particularly worried about the alliance of the Machine Race, the Zerg Race, and the Demon Race waging war against humanity.

A century has passed, and many of humanity's universe masters have cultivated the "Perfect Codex" and undergone a transformation in strength.

Unless it is a true war of genocide, the human race is not afraid of them at all.

But the involvement of Qin Ming made them somewhat nervous.

It wasn't that they were worried Qin Ming would betray them like the Yan Emperor, but rather that they were instinctively wary of the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

"Luo Feng, please repeat the story carefully, making sure you don't omit anything."

The Lord of Chaos City spoke.

"Yes, uncle!"

After exchanging greetings with Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City, Luo Feng recounted the events in detail, even including the situation of Naputi.

Qin Ming had no good feelings towards this 'Puti'. In the original timeline, when the human race was fighting against other top races, Puti, despite possessing the combat power of a universe master, quietly hid in the rear and did not contribute to humanity.

Since that's the case, there's no need to be too polite to him.

"The Flame God Clan and Earth humans, this Mountain-Sitting Guest's methods are indeed bizarre."

However, since he chose to take Luo Feng as his disciple and informed him of the news about the Mechanical Race's Father God, it should also be a way of conveying goodwill to us humans.

The Lord of Chaos City spoke slowly.

However, they didn't mention Earth at all. Although Earth might be special, no one would be foolish enough to cause a rift with Qin Ming over it.

For Qin Ming's growth, the Giant Axe Founder even bestowed upon him a peak soul treasure, so why would he care about anything else?
The founder of the giant axe stood to the side, his eyes gleaming. He had confronted the Mountain Guest because of the Yan Emperor, but ultimately decided not to turn against him for the sake of the human race.

At this moment, his true form also appeared outside Earth, using time reversal to examine the past.

Suddenly, the giant axe's expression turned serious.

In his vision, he saw only a beam of light emitting black smoke suddenly fly in from the deepest part of the universe.

It then landed on Earth and entered Qin Ming's body, who was fighting monsters in a war base.

"This is Qin Ming's opportunity? What is this thing?"

The founder of the giant axe was somewhat shocked. He sensed a faint sense of danger within the black light and was unable to trace its source.

It was as if it suddenly appeared and then fell directly down.

However, this also relieved him. The primordial universe holds infinite mysteries, and perhaps this is some kind of special treasure from the previous cycle of reincarnation.

Most importantly, Qin Ming had nothing to do with the Mountain-Sitting Guest, and he didn't believe that the Mountain-Sitting Guest had such strange methods that he could completely hide it from him.

At least in the original universe, it was impossible.

It's more likely that it was some action of the original cosmic will itself, which just happened to fall on Earth.

As for Luo Feng's rise to prominence, it was because of Qin Ming!
Without Qin Ming's guidance and the granting of the Golden Horned Beast's clone, Luo Feng would have had a difficult time rising to prominence.

Earth is indeed special.

As he continued to trace back through time and space, he also discovered some anomalies. The souls of life born on Earth seemed to be exceptionally strong, and their comprehension, mental will, and other qualities were extremely high.

Of course, this power is also limited; otherwise, the Earth would not have failed to produce any truly powerful beings over the long course of history. The strongest beings in history were merely immortals.

"My true self has already gone to Earth, time travel."

This was indeed the work of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, who made some special arrangements within a range of thousands of light-years centered on Earth.

Therefore, life born on Earth has an inherently powerful soul.

This precious land is your hometown; it needs special protection to prevent any accidents from happening to it.

The founder of the giant axe looked at Qin Ming with a calm expression.

With Qin Ming's talent, he became a Universe Venerable in just a few thousand years, and with his talent, he will soon become a true Universe Master, with a very high probability of becoming the strongest in the universe.

Then, nothing else matters.

Even if that black light were the most powerful treasure, he wouldn't be tempted.

That forced Qin Ming to betray humanity, severing the path to human rise!
"Yes!"

Qin Ming nodded slightly.

This was also within his expectations; once he became powerful, all problems would naturally be solved.

"Luo Feng, since that mountain hermit wants to take you as his disciple, then you should become his disciple. As long as he doesn't target our human race, it doesn't matter."

This is also an opportunity for you.

"Why not tell him that you also have a teacher, the Lord of the Universe, within my human race, and ask him for some extra benefits?"

After saying that, the founder of the giant axe looked at Luo Feng with a smile on his face.

After Luo Feng became Zuo Shan Ke's disciple, at least he no longer had to worry about Zuo Shan Ke taking action against humans because of Yan Di's affairs.

"Yes!"

Luo Feng smiled too. With the endorsement of the founder of the Giant Axe, and the support of Dark Teacher, Qianwu Teacher, and Qin Ming, he could do whatever he wanted without any restrictions.

"Chaos, you handle Puti's matter. Don't expel him, but don't let him come into contact with the core of my human race. Just pretend you don't know anything about it."

"understand!"

The Lord of Chaos City smiled slightly.

Luo Feng and Qin Ming were devoted to humanity, while Naputi had his own ulterior motives, so naturally he couldn't be included in the core group.

But it must not be exposed, otherwise it would put Luo Feng in an awkward position.

"You don't need to worry about other things. Our human race has already made preparations. Even if they win over one or two of the strongest lone universe beings, it won't have any impact."

The giant axe looked at Qin Ming and Luo Feng.

The Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos smiled confidently, knowing that in the cosmic sea, they were naturally inferior to the strongest beings in the universe.

However, in the original universe, with his enhanced divine body spanning 90,000 kilometers, engaging in a battle with it would indeed not be a problem.

"Qin Ming, you should also go to the clan's treasury to exchange for some suitable treasures as soon as possible. If war breaks out, you will be an indispensable force."
