Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 425 The Power of the Ninth-Order Myriad Soul Banner
"No problem! You can rest assured to promote the Netherworld, and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom will fully cooperate with you."

As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, the Lord of Qianwu spoke directly.

While others were unaware of the Netherworld, he knew it better than anyone else; Qin Ming's Netherworld had already been operating in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom for some time.

"Virtual Universe Company will fully support your promotion!"

The Lord of Chaos City also spoke.

"There are no problems at the Giant Axe Arena."

The giant axe nodded slightly.

Qin Ming understood perfectly: the promotion of the Netherworld would not only greatly benefit the human race, but also be of great help to Qin Ming himself.

He didn't know about the others, but the growth of the River of Souls was clearly visible.

The larger the River of Souls becomes, the more exponentially Qin Ming's mental processing speed and deductive abilities will increase. Creating secret techniques and comprehending laws will be as easy as eating and drinking.

Otherwise, how could Qin Ming have become the master of the universe in just tens of thousands of years?

He will naturally give his full support.

Putting all that aside, he would support Qin Ming in giving him that supreme treasure armor, especially since it was a good thing in itself.

As for the damage to the interests of some of the universe's rulers within the human race, that's not even worth mentioning!
"The world's number one bank will fully support us!"

The Lord of Qingdong also spoke up quickly, as he was still counting on Qin Ming to help him reincarnate, and he couldn't possibly refuse.

"There are no problems with the Cosmic Galaxy Bank!"

"The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance fully supports this!"

With one cosmic ruler after another making their statements, no one would be foolish enough to oppose them.

After this battle, Qin Ming's terrifying strength was evident to all, and his status was now no different from that of the Giant Axe. He could completely disregard their consent.

Moreover, both Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City have expressed their support, and they have a very good personal relationship with Qin Ming.

To object at this point is to be ungrateful.

"Thank you very much."

Qin Ming nodded slightly, and then led the group back to the central temple of Fengdu, which was also the true core of Fengdu.

"Owner!"

As soon as they landed, two figures came out from inside the temple to greet them.

One of the figures had transparent wings on its back, its figure was exquisitely beautiful, and endless light surrounded it. Just looking at its figure was enough to make a cosmic venerable being mesmerized.

The voice that came out of her mouth seemed to have endless allure.

The other one was slightly fierce, with a body covered in silver-white scales.

"The Zerg Queen, the Ancestor of Dream Demons!"

Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to them, and they were all startled by the aura emanating from the two individuals.

Although they knew that Qin Ming had the means to resurrect the Lord of the Universe and even the strongest beings in the universe, they were still incredibly shocked when they saw the two strongest beings with their own eyes!
This is the strongest being in the universe!
It can make a race the strongest among the top races!
"After this battle, I will go into seclusion for a period of time to cultivate. The promotion of the Netherworld will be led by the Zerg Queen. If there are any problems, you can communicate with her."

Qin Ming nodded slightly to the Empress, and then looked at the group of human universe lords behind him.

"The Zerg Queen!"

The giant axe looked quite emotional. This true god, who had fought him openly and secretly countless times and whose strength had reached the eighth level, had actually become a servant!

"Giant Axe, please take good care of me from now on."

The Zerg Queen remained calm. Although she had become the main soul of the Myriad Souls Banner, her intelligence was not affected, and she directly became the second-in-command in the Netherworld God Kingdom.

Even the Dream Demon Ancestor is a level below her.

"Easy to say!"

Giant Axe nodded slightly, still maintaining a sense of respect for the Zerg Queen.

Any powerful individual who led their race out of the encirclement in the early days of the primordial universe and became a top-tier race deserves our respect.

Compared to the Zerg Queen, the Dream Demon Ancestor is clearly a level below.

In the early days of the primordial universe, the leader of the demon race was the Demon Ancestor, and later, three true gods were born: the Starry Sky Ancestor, the Dream Demon Ancestor, and the Tremor Demon Ancestor.

The result was that they played a winning hand terribly.

The Demon Ancestor was brutal and was driven out by the combined forces of the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Tremor Demon Ancestor, and the Starry Sky Ancestor. Later, the Starry Sky Ancestor split off from the Demon Ancestor and formed his own faction.

Each of the four true gods possesses supreme treasures, and there are more than fifty cosmic lords!

If it weren't for the split within the demon race, other powerful races would probably have joined forces to fight against it.

Now, with the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen residing in the Netherworld God Kingdom, humanity has gained two more of its strongest beings, in addition to the 57 Universe Lords in Qin Ming's possession.

What a terrifying force this is!
With these thoughts in mind, the giant axe looked into the temple. The first thing that caught its eye was the six Zerg queens and the throne in the very center of the temple!
A throne that exudes an astonishing aura, no weaker than even the most powerful cosmic rulers!

"The King of Prisons? Qin Ming really sees him as a throne?"

Although the Prison King's true form is indeed a throne, no one has ever dared to sit on it. It is a top-tier fifth-order universe lord, an existence that even the Demon Lord must respect.

Then the giant axe looked around and saw that most of the other fallen universe lords of the allied forces were also there, including the Black Lotus Lord, the Star Lord of Liulan, and other top fifth-tier universe lords.

The rest were almost all fourth- or even fifth-order universe masters!
Based on these factors alone, along with Qin Ming himself, the Netherworld could be considered the number one power in the primordial universe.

"Let's go! I've already had a banquet prepared; it'll be a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other..."

……

Once everyone had dispersed, the temple returned to calm. Qin Ming sat on his throne, his fingers lightly tapping the chair. Everything was arranged; the expansion of the Netherworld was a natural progression, and there would be no further resistance.

Whether it's the human side, or other races and forces.

Under his deliberate control, the upheaval of a major war that was bound to erupt during the rise of humanity was minimized.

In the original timeline, humanity obtained the legacy of the Broken East River just as the giant axe fell.

Almost all forces in the primordial universe are besieging humanity, with more than a dozen universe masters and over eight hundred universe lords uniting.

If it weren't for Luo Feng's cheat code...

Humanity has absolutely no chance of winning.

Knowing that this battle was inevitable, how could Qin Ming be so foolish as to allow the entire universe to besiege him?
If he didn't want to ignite this war, it would actually be quite simple.

Simply conceal your shortcomings.

For example, like Luo Feng, he entered the Cosmic Sea to travel when he was a Cosmic Venerable, suppressing his own strength until the Duan Donghe inheritance was born.

The challenges of passing on the Duan Donghe tradition vary depending on one's strength.

But clearly, Qin Ming did not intend to do that. Instead, he revealed part of his strength, which provoked attacks from the three major races. He then successively killed the Lord of the Universe, and the strongest being in the universe completed two leaps.

Even in the final battle, the allied forces only had 7 of the strongest beings in the universe and more than 300 universe lords.

The scale of the war was much smaller than it was in the original timeline.

But the effect was actually even better.

The six top races, including the Zerg's middle and upper echelons, were wiped out. Within the Zerg Queen's microcosm, there were also a large number of cosmic overlords and elite immortals.

Now they have all become part of the foundation of the Netherworld God Kingdom.

The demon lost an arm.

The Prison Clan suffered heavy losses, with almost all of its core universe masters wiped out.

Only the mechanical and crystal groups are in a better situation.

The Northern Frontier Alliance is on the verge of collapse, with more than forty Universe Lords falling, and twelve Universe Lords, including the Lord of Xuanhuo, deserting in the face of battle, while the rest were forcibly taken to the battlefield.

If we win, that would be good.

But they were defeated!

Its internal conflicts naturally erupted. Could the Lord of the Star River still suppress them?
Qin Ming was not optimistic.

Throughout the entire primordial universe, humanity has no rivals.

wow——

Suddenly, Qin Ming raised his hand.

A pale flame burned in the center of his hand. Unlike ordinary flames, this pale flame not only had no temperature, but also emitted a chilling and cold aura.

This is no ordinary flame, but the fire of the true spirit!

This is the power contained in the secret patterns that emerged after the Myriad Souls Banner completed its transformation.

This is actually a kind of soul power.

Calling it the fire of the soul is perfectly acceptable.

It was because of this True Spirit Fire that Qin Ming told the Dark Lord and his teachers that they could prepare for reincarnation and preserve their memories.

Although he wasn't yet proficient in controlling the True Spirit Fire, Qin Ming had figured out some ways to use it.

The simplest method is a soul attack.

Although the True Spirit Fire has no extremely low temperature, it can still be used in conjunction with a soul attack to directly penetrate the surface of the soul and reach the true spirit's body.

This is the most fundamental form of damage to the soul.

Races like the Machine Race do not have souls in the narrow sense, but they still possess true spirits and are not immune to attacks from the fire of true spirits!
This allowed Qin Ming's soul attack methods to achieve comprehensive coverage.

Besides attacks.

The Fire of the True Spirit also has the function of 'purifying the True Spirit'.

It can reassemble scattered fragments of the true spirit (such as fragments of the true spirit from the death of a life or the shattering of a soul), or it can attach them to the true spirit to protect it.

During the reincarnation process, Qin Ming only needs to wrap the reincarnation with the True Spirit Fire to ensure its safe reincarnation, while also retaining the memories of the previous life.

Qin Ming has confirmed this after several attempts.

"The True Spirit Fire, with this flame, my understanding of the path of the soul will be able to go deeper, and there will be no more restrictions!"
This can be considered as stepping into the threshold of the path of the soul's origin.

Qin Ming was also quite moved.

In the primordial universe, there were too many limitations on the soul, and too many beings without a soul.

Many beings, such as mechanical beings, metallic beings, rock beings, and energy beings, are soulless and immune to soul attacks.

This is why he hardly clashed with the Machine God during the great war.

Having lost his soul attack methods, his strength would be reduced by at least half, if not less than one-tenth of what it was!
However, the True Spirit Fire nurtured by the Ninth-Order Myriad Soul Banner finally solved this problem, whether it was used in conjunction with attacks in the soul domain or attached to weapons.

His spiritual advantage can then be fully utilized.

"I can sense that the True Spirit Fire has many other wonderful uses; simple attack and defense are just the most basic applications. Further development is needed."
