Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 380 The Desperately Poor Human Universe Master
Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.

All the cosmic lords of the human race appeared, drinking and celebrating while discussing various expansion strategies.

Territorial expansion!

The territory occupied by the human race in the original universe was actually very small; it only occupied the most fertile and core part.

This is why humans, Zerg, monsters, and machines fought so fiercely.

Everyone wants the core territory!
How much you can eat depends on the size of your fist.

At the enormous round table, all the cosmic lords of the human race were seated, with the giant axe still at the head, and a black seat next to it empty.

On the left is the Lord of Chaos City, while on the right is the Lord of Darkness, along with Qin Ming and his entourage.

The Lord of Chaos City looked around, his expression full of smiles.

Humanity originally had 18 Universe Lords, and after Qin Ming and the Lord of Qianwu broke through, there were 20.

Because of the Soul Origin of the Lord of the Netherworld, a total of nine people, led by the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, broke through!
The number of cosmic masters in the human race has jumped to 29.

Moreover, each of them possesses 10081 times the perfect genes and has been granted the strongest talent and secret techniques by the primordial universe, making their combat power terrifying.

Their overall combat strength has surpassed that of any other top-tier race.

"Gentlemen, our human race is growing stronger day by day; it is time to expand!"

The Chaos City Lord's words excited all the Universe Lords below.

Especially those like the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace who have just broken through.

As the masters of the universe for the human race, they did indeed receive considerable assistance from their race after their breakthrough.

As is customary, everyone is entitled to a treasure equivalent to a top-tier artifact.

However, this does not include the Treasure Points needed to exchange for secret techniques such as the "Perfect Codex" and the "Secret Rune Catalog".

Some of them were borrowed from teachers, fellow students, etc.

Such as the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace and Venerable Ancestral Tree.

Some people had no choice but to borrow from their community.

Because their teachers and fellow students were basically penniless!
For example, the Lord of the Wilderness Mirror.

He was originally only a fourth-order universe master, but because of the "Perfect Codex", three of his clones reached 10081 times the power, and he possessed a divine body of 90,000 kilometers.

Before the three-race alliance launched their surprise attack, they spared no expense in increasing their strength in preparation for the battle against the Chaos City Lord.

But after the war, all of this will have to be repaid!
The restoration materials for three 90,000-kilometer-long divine bodies have left even the Lord of the Wilderness owing his clan a large amount of treasure points.

This time, among the nine breakthrough Universe Lords, one belongs to the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

But where would he get the precious points to buy the "Perfect Codex" or the treasures to restore his divine power?
Therefore, the only option is to borrow from the community!

As a top-tier cosmic overlord, the Lord of Eclipse possesses a special life form. Qin Ming gifted him the "Perfect Codex" for free, and the "Secret Pattern Record" was created by all the cosmic overlords of humanity, so its price wasn't too high.

He also has two clones, one of which is also very large.

There's no need to worry about divine power.

Needless to say, the Lord of the Ancestral Tree is a colossal entity second only to the World Tree, and there shouldn't be any major problems after his breakthrough.

But the others are in a terrible situation.

Before breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, the original universe limited genes by a hundredfold, so naturally, one could not cultivate the "Perfect Secret Manual." One's body was similar to that of a human, only a few meters tall.

Those that increase gene folds are okay.

For such a divine body to reach 90,000 kilometers, what terrifying resources would be required?
In order to help them improve their combat power as soon as possible, the Chaos City Lord and others opened the clan's treasure vault to help them improve their divine bodies.

However, the vast majority of them are only a few thousand kilometers long.

There's no other reason than that we don't have enough resources.

Those that increase gene folds are okay.

Where would the human race find so many resources to restore divine power and enhance it?

In order to enhance the divine bodies of the Ice Peak Lord, the Void Gold Lord, and others, the Chaos City Lord and his allies spent a fortune to exchange divine power materials from forces such as the Ancestral God Sect and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance.

The very essence of humankind has been hollowed out.

Want to change it again?

It's not a question of whether it's possible to exchange for it, but it is possible.

The price will probably be surprisingly high.

Whether they were veteran powerhouses or newly promoted universe masters, their eyes were practically red with rage, desperately needing a bite to replenish their strength.

Not just at the top.

The same applies to the realm lords, immortals, and cosmic venerables among the human race!
With the three potions developed by Qin Ming, a large number of Realm Lords and Immortals broke through, and thousands of Universe Venerables were born.

It's good that a breakthrough was made.

If there is no breakthrough, then the resources needed to purchase Spirit Nourishing Potions, Dawn Potions, and War God Potions will be enormous, not to mention that a large number of immortal warriors will be resurrected.

The resources required for resurrection are also astronomical.

It's fair to say that the entire human race, from top to bottom, is nearly driven mad by poverty.

"How do we fight? Who is our target?"

The Lord of the Wilderness revealed a ferocious look on his triangular head, filled with bloodlust.

It requires a lot of resources!
Alternatively, one could risk venturing into the vast ocean of space to slowly search for resources.

The only option is to expand outwards!
"Don't rush! This concerns the entire community, so we must not act impulsively."

The Lord of Chaos glanced at the Lord of Desolate Mirror, then scanned the surroundings and noticed that his disciple, the Lord of Unity, had a fanatical look in his eyes.

Poor!

The Lord of Eclipse has a special life form that increased its gene multiplier to 10081 before breaking through to the Lord of the Universe, and took advantage of the breakthrough to fleece the original universe.

It was Senior Brother Qin Ming again; the Lord of Darkness also provided him with considerable assistance.

He has nothing!

Although the Lord of Chaos City provided considerable assistance, it fell far short of the gap he needed.

"It's unrealistic to think about consuming other top-tier races. Our initial target is other forces! The nine super forces and twelve top forces in the primordial universe."

Our target can be these twelve top forces.

"Eat them one by one!" The Chaos City Lord's voice was calm, but filled with icy coldness.

It would be very difficult for humans to forcibly take over the territories of other top races, unless they kill their strongest members first.

Otherwise, they would consider expanding into areas outside their core territory.

Big fish eat small fish.

Of course, you should pick the softest persimmon.

The twelve top forces in the original universe, such as the Nine Domains Alliance, the Thorn Ring Alliance, the Piao Peak Alliance, and the Three Mountains Alliance, are mostly no weaker than the Hong Alliance led by humans, in terms of immortality and cosmic venerables.

Even more!

They are not bad at the level of the Lord of the Universe, for example, the Piaofeng Alliance has as many as 19 of them.

However, they lack the strongest leader.

This is the biggest weakness.

The lords of the universe below revealed their understanding.

This problem is not complicated; anyone with a brain can figure it out.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Similar situations have occurred many times in past cycles of reincarnation.

For example, the Divine Eye Clan in the first era obtained the ancient civilization's method of joint combat, and their overall strength increased dramatically.

They choose to devour the weaker groups first.

The larger the territory, the more geniuses are born, and naturally, the more powerful individuals there will be!
They eventually occupied most of the original universe, constantly squeezing out the living space of other top races.

The upper limit of strength in the primordial universe is the top level of the sixth rank.

Even the strongest ninth-tier beings cannot do anything to other top races in the primordial universe. Top races such as the Skeleton Clan from the same era still survive.

They occupied a large area of ​​territory, and their population exploded.

When the first cycle of reincarnation ended, the Divine Eye Clan had a total of seven of the strongest beings in the universe and hundreds of universe lords!
What humans need to do is replicate this process.

Which one should we target first?

"It would be best to have a suitable reason, lest other races unite and besiege us humans!"

Immediately someone asked.

Those who can become the masters of the universe have all experienced countless storms and battles, and can instantly find the key to it.

Twelve top-tier forces.

It would be difficult for a human to eat even one!
Lips and teeth intertwined.

No one wants to see humanity grow too big.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

Once this is done, it could very likely trigger a chain reaction, turning into a large-scale war across the entire primordial universe.

Although the human race is powerful, it is not powerful enough to suppress the entire primordial universe.

Qin Ming remained silent. In fact, he had already met with Giant Axe, Lord of Chaos City, Lord Peng Gong, Lord of Darkness, and others during the banquet.

This is merely a way to appease the other restless cosmic lords.

"We are still selecting targets, but it won't be long before we finalize them."

The founder of the giant axe spoke.

Immediately, the eyes of many universe lords below lit up. The fact that the giant axe had spoken meant that the matter of external expansion was settled.

"What you need to do is to increase your strength as much as possible before the great war breaks out!"

The first target has been chosen by humanity.

That is to use the Yan Emperor's position as a breakthrough point, then swallow up the Nine Domains Alliance, and then slowly plan to strengthen oneself step by step.

However, such things are not said directly unless it is a critical moment.

Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City still had many concerns about starting a war.

Human races have become much stronger.

But it's far from enough to fight against the entire primordial universe.

If problems arise, humanity will pay a huge price.

The entire human realm will be engulfed in war.

We must be extremely cautious!

Looking at the Lord of Chaos City, the Founder of the Giant Axe, and many other enthusiastic Lords of the Universe, Qin Ming smiled and occasionally uttered a word.

Qin Ming didn't actually have much worry or concern about the impending war.

Because he knew very well that in the original timeline, when the human race obtained the inheritance of Duan Donghe, it triggered an attack from the entire primordial universe!
Compared to that kind of scene, this is just a 'territorial dispute'.

As long as he doesn't publicly reveal the Netherworld, groups like the Ancestral God Cult, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, and most of the strongest lone wolves won't participate.

Even those from the Prison Clan and Crystal Clan located in remote areas will most likely be watching from afar.

Rather than waiting for over 100,000 years for all the accumulated conflicts to erupt at once, it's better to wait until then.

Instead, let the human race take control of the war and guide its course. In the process, Qin Ming's strength and the overall strength of the human race will grow stronger and stronger!

"It seems that it is time to take some time to carefully study the way the Yan God Clan broke through the genetic limit of a hundred times. A large number of universe lords will also appear in the human race. If the problem of divine power is not solved in advance, it will be too damaging."

Qin Ming thought to himself.

The cost of raising the power of a Cosmic Venerable to 90,000 kilometers is far, far less than that of a Lord of the Universe.

When a divine body spanning 90,000 kilometers breaks through to become a universe master, it can still take advantage of the original universe. Even if it only converts one-tenth of the original universe, it will be enough to crush other universe masters.

He broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, and his computing power and insight energy in the River of Souls were greatly improved. He also had the "Secret Pattern Record" and Luo Feng's "Ninth-Order Secret Manual".

Qin Ming was quite confident that he could completely unravel the mysteries of the Yan God Clan.

The Flame God Clan possesses the potential to evolve into an infinite divine body, and there are likely still many secrets to be uncovered within them.

"But before that, I have some things to do."
