Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 358 The Primordial Ancestor of the Starry Sky: Taking the Opportunity to Enslave the Lord of the Underworld!
The headquarters of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, Starry Sky Divine Mountain.

This is a pitch-black mountain range spanning light-years. The rocks of the mountain are completely black, not in the sense of blackness, but rather a sense of emptiness similar to that of a black hole.

It was as if every rock was a black hole.

At the very top of Starry Sky Mountain stands a solitary peak, hundreds of millions of kilometers high, appearing both real and unreal. At first glance, it seems virtual, but upon closer inspection, it seems real.

On the mountain peak, a colossal body coiled.

This body has a dragon-like head, which alone is thousands of kilometers long and has nine sharp horns on top, like a crown.

"Interesting. This human Lord of the Underworld actually wants to enter the Beast God Realm? He has quite the audacity!"

A hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of the Star Ancestor.

The Beast God Realm exists within his microcosm.

The microcosm evolved from the divine kingdom, and within the microcosm, his power can reach an extremely exaggerated level.

Even in the vast ocean of space, no powerful being dares to enter the microcosm of another powerful being.

That's tantamount to suicide!
Under normal circumstances, even the strongest being in the universe would find it difficult to enslave or control the master of the universe.

However, if the Lord of the Universe enters the microcosm, the probability of this success increases significantly.

"Ancestor! This Lord of the Underworld is known as the strongest genius of mankind. In just over ten thousand years, he directly became a cosmic venerable."

The three races demonstrated strength in the surprise attack that was in no way inferior to that of other universe lords.

His talent is so great that he might just be the next Primal Ancestor!
"Why not wait until he goes in, then directly enslave his soul and make him a great asset to our clan?"

A colossal figure nearby spoke, clearly also a ruler of the universe.

"That's right! The human race is scheming to enter the Beast God Realm, they must have some ulterior motive."

Why not take the opportunity to enslave them?

He reached 90,000 kilometers immediately after breaking through to the Venerable Divine Body, which must mean he possesses a secret technique inherited from the cosmic sea by humankind.

By enslaving them, our Starry Sky Beast Alliance can also obtain this secret technique, greatly increasing our strength.

The other colossal star beast had greed in its eyes.

They had witnessed the battles between the human race and the alliance of the insectoid, demon, and machine races.

Although humanity made preparations in advance, the fact that they might be able to contend with five of the strongest beings in the universe and more than a dozen universe lords with the power of their own race is still quite terrifying.

This power is simply astonishing.

The key point is the enormous divine body!

A body spanning 90,000 kilometers is far beyond the reach of even those giant star beasts known for their massive systems. How could they not be envious?

"It's not that easy, and humans aren't that stupid either. The fact that the Lord of the Underworld could withstand the full force of the True Demon God shows that his will is incredibly strong."

I spoke with the True Demon God; his will is comparable to the strongest being in the universe.

Even if it enters my inner universe, I cannot forcibly enslave it; it has clones.

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Star Ancestor; he had considered this idea as well.

If it succeeds, the benefits will be enormous.

Unfortunately, the chances of success are extremely slim.

The aftermath of the earth-shattering battle in which the three-race alliance launched a surprise attack but was met with a counterattack is far from over.

That astonishing battle shook all races in the primordial universe.

After the war, the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race all approached it, hoping to bring it into the alliance to suppress humanity.

The extraordinary rise of the 'Lord of the Underworld' is a key aspect of this.

It also does not want another progenitor to emerge in the human race.

The Crystal Clan, the Prison Clan, and even the Northern Frontier Alliance, among other top powers, do not want to see this happen, and the Three-Clan Alliance will definitely try to win them over.

But a century has passed, and the thought remains.

In reality, no force or group is truly willing to take action.

One of the six top races, how could it be so easily disturbed?

As long as Giant Axe remains alive, no one will dare to be the first to stick their neck out!

"Who would have known that the Lord of the Underworld not only possesses extremely high talent in the Way of Time and Space, but also has attainments in the Way of the Beast God?"

The Lord of the Underworld wanted to go, so he was allowed to.

The Lord of Chaos City is willing to offer a top-tier palace treasure as payment, so we'll give them face.

After they arrive, I'll test them out; if an opportunity arises, I certainly won't let it slip by.

If there truly is the will of the strongest being in the universe, then we should decisively give up.

If you can't stop them, then befriending them is also an option.

After a moment of contemplation, the Star Ancestor finally spoke.

"Golden Horn, go and report this matter to the Lord of Chaos City. He can enter the Beast God Realm for 10 epochs and enjoy the Beast God Realm's 10081-year time acceleration."

In this way, humanity wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

Time acceleration is something only the strongest beings in the universe can achieve by manipulating spacetime within their own microcosms. Their Beast God Realm can even achieve a time flow ratio of an astonishing 1:10081.

However, this kind of time acceleration comes at a considerable cost.

Like the human race, there are also Time Palaces for cultivation, but they only speed up the flow of time by several times or dozens of times.

And its price is extremely high.

"it is good!"

The numerous cosmic behemoths below, seeing that the Star Ancestor had spoken, felt some regret and resentment, but they could say nothing more.

……

Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.

"Senior Uncle, has the Starry Sky Beast Alliance agreed?"

Qin Ming stepped out of the void and appeared in front of the Chaos City Lord.

"In exchange for a top-tier palace treasure, the Star Ancestor is willing to open the Beast God Realm. You can stay there for up to 10 epochs."

Your biggest problem is that you've spent too much time cultivating, resulting in insufficient foundation. Staying inside for 10 epochs could help you replenish your foundation.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled at Qin Ming, but his expression turned serious the next moment.

"You must be careful when you enter the Beast God Realm. Although your will has reached the level of the strongest in the universe, you must not be careless. You must bring the 'Star Soul' with you, lest the Star Ancestor have other ideas."

A supreme soul treasure is a loss our human race cannot afford.

But you absolutely cannot have any accidents!

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I know what I'm doing."

Qin Ming smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, knowing full well what kind of person this Star Ancestor was.

Forget the greater good for short-term gains!

This refers to the progenitor of the starry sky.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance actually had a pretty good relationship.

Thanks to their help in entering the Beast God Realm and comprehending the secret rune diagram, even if the Starry Sky Ancestor did nothing, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance could still win effortlessly.

But at the crucial final moment, during the great battle between the races, the Star Ancestor chose to join the Anti-Human Alliance in order to obtain the inheritance of the Broken East River.

The outcome is self-evident.

This is a classic example of someone squandering a winning hand.

Qin Ming would naturally be wary of such a person.

A top-tier palace treasure is not cheap. The top-tier flying palace treasure he possesses, the 'Sky-Piercing Boat,' is worth 4000 treasure points. He could buy three or four ordinary peak treasures with that amount.

Compared to this, a 10081-fold time acceleration is nothing.

As for the secret pattern diagram?
In fact, the Star Ancestor knew about the secret patterns contained in the 64 Beast God statues, but despite the numerous Star Beasts entering them, none of them had ever successfully cultivated them.

From the perspective of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, this is definitely a very profitable venture.

"Okay! Then I'll go with you."

……

wow-

Within the spatial vortex, Qin Ming and the Lord of Chaos City stepped out.

"Ahead lies the outer space of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, with a diameter of nearly 100,000 light-years. We cannot sense the divine kingdom, connect to the virtual universe, enter the dark universe, or experience spatial fluctuations."

Its internal cosmic rules have been distorted by the Star Ancestor, and it is also the outer defense line of the Star Beast Alliance. Let's wait here.

Someone will come to pick us up.

The Lord of Chaos City looked at the vast starry sky in front of him and spoke.

"Ah."

Qin Ming nodded slightly; he knew that too.

One of the abilities of the strongest beings in the universe is that their words can become law and change the rules of the universe. However, this ability is taken back by the original universe when they fight against the ruler of the universe.

But what about blocking the Divine Kingdom?

This was of no use to Qin Ming. The special nature of the Netherworld God Kingdom could not be affected even by the primordial universe, let alone by the rule-changing actions of the strongest being in the universe.

He could still clearly sense the Netherworld Kingdom, but because the space was blocked, he could not use the Netherworld teleportation ability.

After waiting for a while, a thunderous sound came from the void, and a majestic golden-horned beast with huge scales and wings stood in the starry sky.

"Lord of Chaos City, Lord of the Underworld, welcome to my Starry Sky Beast Alliance."

Judging from its aura, this was a terrifying being whose power was in no way inferior to that of the Chaos City Lord.

"The Lord of the Golden Horn".

The Lord of Chaos City also laughed loudly.

Qin Ming looked closely and realized that the Golden Horned Lord was one of the two Universe Lords of the Golden Horned Beast lineage.

He is a fifth-order universe lord of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance. Because he has four divine bodies and his understanding of laws is extremely strong, he is a very powerful universe lord.

Although the Starry Sky Beast Alliance is small in number, its top-tier experts are no less numerous than those of humans.

The entire Starry Sky Beast Alliance is divided into twelve branches, and each branch usually has only one universe lord.

The Golden Horned Beasts are one of the more powerful bloodlines, with two Universe Lords. The most powerful bloodline is the Hill and Valley Beasts, with three Universe Lords, ranking first among the twelve bloodlines.

"This must be the Lord of the Underworld. He truly is a prodigy of humanity! He was able to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe in less than ten thousand years!"

The Golden Horned Lord's ferocious head looked at Qin Ming and revealed a 'gentle' smile.

"The Lord of the Golden Horn".

Qin Ming nodded slightly, a smile also appearing on his face.

"The arrival of the two of you has been known to the Ancestor and the Universe Lord of my Starry Sky Beast Alliance, and a banquet has been prepared on Starry Sky Divine Mountain to welcome you."

After saying this, the Lord of Golden Horn turned around and flew away at a speed exceeding a hundred times the speed of light in the void.

Qin Ming and the Lord of Chaos City followed closely behind.

Soon the three of them traversed the vast expanse of space and entered the inner universe through one of the wormholes.

This is where the cosmic behemoths live.

Looking into the distance, Qin Ming was somewhat shocked. He saw countless spatial vortexes scattered throughout the starry sky, like small flowers surrounding a huge mountain range.

A mountain peak several light-years high!
It's just as impressive as the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company.

This dark mountain range is suspended in mid-air.

You can vaguely sense powerful auras, and you can even occasionally see some starry sky beasts flying among them.

From within the mountains, extremely terrifying auras emanated.

With a slight sense, one can detect the aura of several universe lords among them.

This is clearly the sacred land of the Starry Sky Beasts—Starry Sky Divine Mountain!
"The Holy Land of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance is indeed extraordinary!"

Looking at the mountain peak, Qin Ming also exclaimed in admiration.

"Hahaha, all the immortals and above in my Starry Sky Beast Alliance live here, so naturally there are many extraordinary things about us. Our ancestor is already waiting for us, and he is also very curious about you, this peerless genius."
