Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 428 The Palm of the Universe and the Decision of the Machine Race Father God

"A universe in your palm?"

The Lord of Chaos City was taken aback, but quickly understood Qin Ming's meaning.

It is a treasure of the clan.

Before the great war, no one knew about the existence of the Palm Universe except for the Giant Axe, not even the Lord of Darkness.

That treasure could only be retrieved when the tribe was in the most danger.

It is also the last legacy left to humanity by our ancestors.

With his palm-sized universe, even though he is only a fifth-order universe master, he can simultaneously unleash two top-tier level six attacks from anywhere within a light-year range.

In the primordial universe, its effects were even greater than those of realm treasures.

It can easily stop and suppress two or three of the strongest beings in the universe.

How could such a treasure be lent out?
In the past, it would have been impossible, no matter how talented Qin Ming was.

But things are clearly different now.

Because of Qin Ming's rise, the overall strength of the human race has increased dramatically, making them the overlords of the primitive universe. Moreover, Qin Ming even gave the giant axe the supreme treasure armor, and he himself also has a supreme treasure of the soul domain type.

There's no way they would covet a 'palm universe'.

After all, the Palm Universe is just a collection of ordinary and high-level treasures. Its power is at the top level of the sixth rank in the original universe, and it remains at the top level of the sixth rank outside the original universe.

It's completely useless against top-tier experts.

Therefore, the Lord of Chaos City nodded without the slightest hesitation.

“Okay, no problem. Come to the Initial Universe, and I will give you the Palm Universe.”

What problem are you facing?

Promotion of the Underworld?

As he agreed, the Lord of Chaos City also asked a question.

He had heard Qin Ming say that he wanted to build the Netherworld into a vast region that would cover the primordial universe, and that he had crafted a large number of Soul-Summoning Banners for this purpose.

Even in his hand, there is still a 'Human Emperor Banner', which can mobilize the power of the Myriad Souls Banner.

"Well, although the current coverage of the summoning banners is wide, they cannot form a continuous line, which is still somewhat different from what I expected."

I plan to use the Palm Universe to refine it into one entity.

Qin Ming nodded.

He did encounter some trouble. The current Netherworld only absorbs souls through the Soul-Summoning Banner and then relies on a large number of Soul-Snatching Messengers to replenish them.

Subsequent reincarnations and other processes all rely on the Soul Reaper.

This is clearly not what he wanted.

After the Myriad Souls Banner was upgraded, True Spirit Fire appeared, which could be attached to the soul domain of the Myriad Souls Banner for attack and defense, which gave him an idea.

That is to directly complete the reincarnation of the true spirit by relying on the fire of the true spirit.

However, the current Soul-Summoning Banner's coverage power is too weak to achieve such precise control, and its coverage area is not wide enough.

However, there are solutions.

That's mechanical flow!

By using mechanical flow, a large number of summoning banners are combined, greatly enhancing their power and expanding their range.

He had discussed this with the original ancestor.

The feasibility is very high.

He wasn't without mechanical treasures; not long ago, he obtained the 'Wings of Slaying Wu' from the Lord of Chaos City. However, after studying them, he discovered that the 'Wings of Slaying Wu' were too profound and severely incomplete.

With his current skill in weapon crafting, he can only craft some high-grade treasures, barely even top-grade treasures. How could he possibly understand the secret runes of mechanical treasures at the 'Eternal True God' level?

A universe in your palm is different.

This was crafted by the original ancestor based on his own experience. Although it is a very simple and crude one in the mechanical style, it is very suitable for Qin Ming now.

Most importantly, after Qin Ming obtained the 'Virtual Universe' secret technique from the Primordial Ancestor, he also learned some secrets from him.

The mobile universe is actually a simplified version of the 'virtual universe' technique!
The greatest function of the 'virtual universe' is actually for possession!

This is why the Primordial Ancestor used the secret technique of the virtual universe when he was suppressed!
Therefore, although the mobile universe is crude in the mechanical field, the secrets it contains are not simple.

This treasure is composed of 36200 parts, each made of excellent materials, and the construction method is very simple, but they form a system when combined.

Its mountains, lakes, and wooden houses form a unique world.

Different people will see different rules operating based on their own understanding.

What Peng Gong saw was one as heaven, one as earth, and one as the heart of heaven and earth.

The Lord of Darkness sees darkness, light, and the origin of all things.

In the original world, Luo Feng even broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe because of this.

Because this is a simplified miniature universe.

It is the way the universe operates.

It is far superior to Luo Feng's innate secret technique, 'Miniature Universe'.

This system is exactly what Qin Ming wanted.

He wanted to transform the Netherworld's Soul-Summoning Banner system into a complete system, a super system even larger than the Palm Universe, encompassing the entire primordial universe.

The importance of this system is self-evident.

"If your idea comes true, then our human race will be completely safe and sound."

The Lord of Chaos smiled.

"At this moment, who knows how much turmoil this will cause in the outside world!"

……

Deep in the territory of the demon clan.

Zhen Yaozu stared at the intelligence report sent by the intelligence department with a ferocious expression, feeling increasingly pained and mad.

"It's that Lord of the Underworld again!"

The scene clearly shows the 'Netherworld' in the virtual universe, which covers almost half of humanity's territory, and the live broadcasts of those trials.

His gaze fell upon the scenes of the extraterritorial battlefield.

As a super battlefield between the human race and the other three top races, it did not stop even when the race war broke out. The war between the higher-ups was something that most of the lower-level people had no right to know about.

The extinction of the Zerg shook the entire primordial universe and completely reversed the past situation where the three races united to besiege and suppress humanity.

Instead, it became a situation where humans suppressed other races.

Of course, none of these matters to Zhen Yaozu. What truly terrified him was the so-called 'judgment' of the Netherworld over the battlefield outside the domain.

No, this cannot be called a trial.

Rather, it is a 'commendation' for the human race!
In other places, most of the human population, after passing away, are ordinary people who have neither good nor bad karma, and they are reincarnated.

Sins such as buying and selling slaves and slaughtering the weak are ultimately committed by a minority.

Similarly, those who have made meritorious contributions are also a minority.

Most of them are normal reincarnations, at most receiving minor punishments or acts of kindness.

However, the situation is different in battlefields outside the region.

Many of those who perished here possessed immense merit, especially some of the immortals and marquises who had accumulated vast amounts of merit due to their outstanding military achievements! Because of their sufficient merit, they could actually be 'resurrected'!
A large-scale resurrection presided over by the Netherworld!
Those who don't have enough merit points can even be resurrected through an "advance payment" method!
However, the debt will need to be repaid afterward.

Or perhaps, one could enter the underworld and be reborn.

If one is reincarnated, one can also receive excellent treatment.

This made Zhen Yaozu understand why humans could continue to resurrect on a large scale in the past, while also making him feel a deep sense of fear and shock.

How can they become enemies of humanity?

To become an enemy who controls the cycle of life and death?
It's impossible to win.

Zhen Yaozu knew this clearly.

Humanity is blatantly encouraging them to expand outwards and wage wars!

Slaughtering humans incurs sin, but slaughtering other races earns merit! Not only can you gain military merit in the virtual universe, but you can even receive preferential treatment after death!

How insane!
But that's not all.

The Demon Ancestor originally thought that those alien races who were taken into the Netherworld would be punished for killing humans, but in reality they were not.

At least not in battlefields outside the region.

They won't be directly condemned to the eighteen hells for this; instead, they will receive a relatively fair trial, which is practically an open encouragement for them to target humanity in the battlefields beyond their own borders.

Humanity is using billions of species as whetstones!
To cultivate more geniuses for them.

"Why! Why is the Lord of the Underworld able to wield such terrifying power? Why is the primordial will of the universe able to remain unmoved by such a scene?"
Didn't the original universe suppress the primordial ancestor back then?

Why not suppress this Lord of the Underworld?

The Demon Ancestor roared in fury.

He harbored an even deeper fear: would those cosmic lords, or even the strongest beings in the universe, who had been slain by humanity, be resurrected?

Although he didn't want to admit it, he already had the answer in his heart.

Why was the Lord of the Underworld able to unleash power far exceeding that of a top-tier sixth-order being in the primordial universe?
And each time it gets stronger than the last.

It just so happens that each time, it was after he had killed a group of universe lords.

Furthermore, within its divine realm, it unleashed power surpassing the ninth rank, single-handedly slaying the Dream Demon Ancestor.

Everything now has an answer.

This only made Zhen Yaozu even more desperate.

Will he encounter the Dream Demon Ancestor?

Even a small universe was touched by the Dream Demon Ancestor, the Lord of the Underworld?

……

"A true spirit? My mechanical race actually has such a thing as a true spirit?"

The Mechanical God watched in the scene where a fallen Mechanical being from the extraterrestrial battlefield had appeared in the Netherworld to be judged, his eyes filled with endless horror.

Upon seeing this immortal mechanical being, he immediately attempted to reverse time and space to revive it.

Without a doubt, he failed.

The mechanical god instantly understood why the demons and insectoids, who had been killed in the extraterrestrial battlefield, could not be resurrected.

Because their souls were all sucked into this netherworld.

This Netherworld is not a recent creation, but rather something that has existed for a long time. The Soul Palace is merely a jailer within it!

Moreover, after this battle, the Netherworld's abilities advanced further, reaching the level of 'True Spirit'.

Even soulless life forms, such as their mechanical race, rock life forms, and energy life forms, are all brought under their control!
"Fight an enemy like this? How could we possibly have any hope!"

The Father God of the Mechanical Clan fell silent.

Even someone as powerful as him felt despair at this moment.

After the coalition forces were defeated, the machine race immediately withdrew its forces and prepared for a protracted war with humanity, hoping to delay until the end of the primordial universe.

He immediately used various means to transmit everything that happened in the great war to the Cosmic Sea, causing all life in the Cosmic Sea to become hostile to humanity.

While it's impossible to wipe out humanity, it can at least suppress the rise of humanity.

What excited him most was that the Purple Moon Holy Land, one of the two holy lands, contacted him and offered to provide some assistance to help him compete with humanity!
For example, higher-level cultivation methods.

They thought things had taken a turn for the better, and with the covert support of the Purple Moon Holy Land, they might still have a chance to turn the tide!
How can we fight like this?
The Netherworld!

Once this thing appears, it will be impossible to fight against humanity unless all the universe masters and the strongest beings in the entire primordial universe unite together.

Perhaps they still have a chance.

But is it possible?
Those weaker races, and even the most powerful races, are probably thinking about how to befriend humans, or even join them!

The feeling of powerlessness when facing an enemy that cannot be killed and whose life and death are in their hands is too desperate.

"No! There is still hope! Since the Purple Moon Holy Land is unwilling to see humanity rise, then perhaps I can obtain more inheritances, or even treasures, from them through this 'Netherworld'!"

A cold glint appeared in the eyes of the mechanical god.

To lead the Mechanical Race from countless races to become one of the top races, he must have gone through countless life-or-death crises before finally standing out.

How could someone of this stature give up so easily?
What Zhen Yaozu thought of, he also thought of.

But immediately, he thought of ways to leverage external forces, or even ways to break the deadlock!

It's impossible for them to do it on their own.

What about the holy sites?
These two holy lands have accumulated countless treasures throughout the long cycle of reincarnation, including the ultimate inheritance of the strongest beings in the universe.

If they could obtain a powerful inheritance and the most powerful treasure from them, they might still have a sliver of a chance.

He didn't understand why the Purple Moon Holy Land was targeting humans.

But I know this is my only chance!
"First, secure the inheritance they promised, and then acquire more! If necessary, sell the Purple Moon Holy Land and let them fight against humans!"

The power of my mechanical race alone is insufficient.

We still need to win over the demon race, the prison race, the crystal race, as well as those idle races, and even the strongest lone roamers in the universe..."

Countless thoughts surfaced in the mind of the Machine God.

Humans are too powerful!
Powerful to the point of being terrifying and despairing.

It is necessary to have enough allies to have any chance of resisting.

He then immediately contacted the Purple Moon Holy Land, and also began to contact the Demon Clan, the Prison Clan, and others.

……

Almost simultaneously, the Prison Clan, the Crystal Clan, the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the Ancestral God Cult, and even all the Lords of the Universe were paying attention to humanity.

They are paying close attention to the emergence of the Netherworld.

That unparalleled impact plunged the entire primordial universe into complete silence.

Even panic!

Humanity's dominance in the universe is inevitable.

But now, humanity's goal is not merely to become the overlord of the primordial universe in the first cycle, but to control the 'death' of the primordial universe.

It is not life.

It is literally 'death'. According to the propaganda in the virtual universe, all intelligent life, whether it is flesh and blood, rock, machine, energy, etc., will be included in the rule of the underworld after death!
From this day forward, may the gods be watching from above!

That deity is the Lord of the Underworld!
