Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 125 Profiting from the Zerg Queen

Ten minutes ago.

Within the virtual universe, in the separate plane where the Virtual Realm Clearing Company was located, a man in black robes walked in on his own. The intelligent life form responsible for reception greeted him with a smile: "Sir, are you here to place an order?"

“No,” the man in black robes replied, “I’m looking for Zhou Lin. Tell him I am the Lord of the Star River, and he will come out to see me.”

The intelligent life form dared not delay and first contacted its superior, Zuo Ke, who in turn immediately contacted Zhou Lin himself.

The true self's consciousness connected to the virtual universe and instantly appeared in the virtual world company plane, inviting the Lord of the Galaxy to the top-floor office.

Although the virtual universe is said to be exclusive to humans, as the dignified master of the universe, there are many ways to enter nature, as long as the original ancestor does not mind.

The Lord of the Star River sat down and said, "Venerable Beichen, your strength should be far more than that of a second-tier universe lord; you should be at least a third-tier lord."

Zhou Lin nodded.

There's no point in hiding this anymore. He can resist the spread of the Zerg Queen's domain, either because he has an extraordinary treasure or because of his exceptional strength.

"Although I don't know how you did it, you've already earned the right to join forces with me." The Lord of the Star River changed the subject: "Let's join forces to plot against a supreme treasure. Whoever acknowledges it as their master first will have it, how about that?"

Zhou Lin's gaze showed some hesitation.

The original work doesn't mention the Lord of the Star River much; it only briefly mentions that he died in the Jin world after the tribal war.

As for his personality, nothing is known. All that is known is that his position in the Northern Frontier Alliance is similar to that of the Chaos City Lord, and he is supported by many small groups.

The Lord of the Star River also noticed Zhou Lin's hesitation, after all, the two had never met before and came from different super powers.

His main reason for seeking cooperation with Zhou Lin was to establish a good relationship with him, partly due to Zhou Lin's terrifying talent and potential.

He has cultivated for less than 100,000 years and yet he has the strength of a universe master. Even with time acceleration, it probably hasn't been more than 100 million years.

His methods are terrifyingly numerous. The Lord of the Star River had even watched recordings of his fighting styles, which were even more exaggerated than those of ordinary Universe Lords.

Furthermore, when the Lord of the Star River was adventuring in the Cosmic Sea, he had incurred karmic debts with the True Demon God, so the two of them had some connection.

"I also have a past with the Void Demon God, so you don't need to worry so much," the Lord of the Star River said domineeringly. "I, the Lord of the Star River, have no reason to lie about such things."

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Lin also made his own decision.

“Then let’s join forces and play with them. Whoever gets the ultimate treasure gets to keep it.” Zhou Lin smiled. “It’s an honor for me to join forces with the Star River Lord who traverses the universe.”

He chose to trust the Lord of the Star River, who had traversed the universe for countless years and had never been known to go back on his word.

The Lord of the Star River nodded in satisfaction. He was willing to join forces with Zhou Lin out of admiration. He did not think highly of the other Universe Lords present, even those at the top of the fourth rank.

Furthermore, Zhou Lin was very confident in his ability to save his own life.

Even a fifth-order universe master wouldn't find it so easy to kill him. As long as he couldn't kill him instantly, Zhou Lin could escape.

If the Star River Lord dares to deceive him, Zhou Lin will definitely include the entire Northern Frontier Alliance on his list of targets and will not rest until all the high-ranking members of the clan are killed.

"Those who obtain the supreme treasure should also compensate the one who did not with a certain treasure, based on the standard of a top-tier domain-level supreme treasure," the Lord of the Galaxy added.

Zhou Lin had no objections. If he could obtain a top-tier palace-type treasure, the human race would naturally be willing to offer a top-tier treasure as compensation to the Lord of the Star River.

……

The Temple of the Divine God.

The Lord of the Galaxy's attack was unstoppable, encompassing everyone within a radius of hundreds of millions of kilometers, but it did not affect those in the rear who had not yet arrived at the battlefield.

The two third-tier universe lords felt numb all over. Faced with the attack of the Star River Lord, those with slightly weaker wills would not be able to muster the courage to resist.

The river flows mightily, and there is also the oppressive projection of the inner world.

"How can there be a world projection? What is that?"

"Could Venerable Beichen be a Realm Lord?!"

Those universe lords felt as if they were in a swamp, finding it extremely difficult to even move, and could only gather their own secret techniques to fight back.

Boom!

The energy from the explosion almost permeated the entire plain.

"You can forget about getting the treasure!" The Zerg Queen was both shocked and furious. She was the strongest person present, and the three from the Piaofeng Alliance were already being suppressed to a very bad state.

If anyone were to successfully seize the treasure, the Zerg Queen believed she had a more than 60% chance.

The Zerg Queen is quite far from Zhou Lin and his group, nearly 20 million kilometers away, a distance that would take tens of seconds to travel at the speed of light.

She immediately activated the top-tier treasures of her domain.

Radiating light, the Zerg Queen unleashed her secret arts, but she only dealt with her own problems and did not kindly share the burden with others.

The Zerg Queen also took the opportunity to break away from the battle and chase after the two.

Whoosh!
She accelerated to her maximum speed, rendering the restraints of the other universe lords completely ineffective. At the same time, a radiant glow spread out, aiming to ambush Zhou Lin and his companion.

The world turned dark. The Lord of the Star River only used his strongest secret technique. Although he was a special life form with a powerful divine body, he still had to conserve his power as much as possible.

Zhou Lin also assisted from the side, creating voids to slow down the power of the radiant light.

boom!
The radiant light easily crushed those chaotic holes, and then collided with the attack of the Lord of the Star River. The Lord of the Universe's strongest secret technique was stalemated for a moment before it also shattered.

when!
The Lord of the Star River wielded his long mace, and Zhou Lin countered with his Dust Frost Sword, finally managing to completely dispel the remaining radiance.

"This place is really annoying, there's no way to speed up at all." The Zerg Queen launched another attack, as she could travel at a million times the speed of light in the cosmic sea.

However, even inside the Temple of the Divine God, one must obediently maintain sub-light speed.

At this moment, the attack launched by the Lord of the Galaxy was also dealt with by the combined efforts of many Lords of the Universe, and everyone behind them also accelerated rapidly.

The chase quickly lasted several minutes.

Zhou Lin and the Lord of the Star River are extremely close to the Purple Gold Palace.

"We still have to fight it out." The Lord of the Galaxy sighed. "Without the Zerg Queen, I can use River of Night again and have time to recognize a master."

The distance between him and those cosmic lords behind him, the closest of which is tens of millions of kilometers away, means that the galaxy lord can easily unleash his ultimate move and calmly imprint his life mark.

But with the Zerg Queen present, she could even directly withstand the Star Lord's ultimate attack with her bare body.

In the chaos, even the top fourth-tier universe masters have a chance.

Because this is a contest of divine bodies and the toughness of supreme armor; whoever can't hold on any longer has to leave the battlefield.

"Lord of the Star River, I didn't realize you had dealings with this human brat." The Zerg Queen caught up, looking at the two with icy eyes.

At this moment, her killing intent surged. She wondered if Zhou Lin was some kind of hot commodity. The Demon God of Illusion wanted to take him as a disciple, and now the Lord of the Star River wanted to be his ally.

"Your Majesty, the plot that's about to unfold isn't going to be very friendly to you," the Lord of the Galaxy said calmly. "You are the only strongest being in the universe present here."

If two of the universe's strongest beings were to enter, a tacit balance would be achieved.

But now the situation is completely different.

Previously, it was because there were few people in the battle circle, and the Lord of the Galaxy was still communicating with Zhou Lin.

The Lord of the Galaxy's first goal was to join forces with Zhou Lin to catch everyone off guard, but now it is necessary to target the Zerg Queen.

"I will decide the victor before everyone arrives." The Zerg Queen smiled, her feet treading on the void, her magnificent figure radiating endless light. She unleashed her strongest move, intending to temporarily suppress Zhou Lin and the Lord of the Star River.

A tower a million kilometers high appeared; it was a supreme treasure of the sealing type. Once someone was blasted into it, even the Lord of the Universe would not be able to escape.

"She's targeting you." The Lord of the Galaxy's eyes were grave. "This is the primordial universe; she can't do anything to me here."

Zhou Lin is now considered to have a very special third-tier strength.

He is stronger than the Lord of the Universe in terms of methods, but his true collision power is only at the third level. He would be at a disadvantage in a true clash with a fourth-level Lord of the Universe.

However, he possesses causal means, which, combined with extreme point penetration, pose a significant threat to those weaker universe lords.

Simply put, Zhou Lin is very good at beating weaker opponents, but this kind of technique is not enough to turn the tide of battle, because the power itself has not been transformed.

"Lord of the Star River, if I stop her, can you imprint your life mark on me?" Zhou Lin quickly transmitted his voice, "After it's done, just give me a few treasures."

"You, stop her?!" The Lord of the Galaxy frowned and said, "How is that possible? I'm the one who should stop her."

Although the two were communicating telepathically, the Zerg Queen's attack had already begun, and the mystery of this secret technique far surpassed that of the Lord of the Galaxy.

Although it was an attack launched by her alone, it had a beautiful, coordinated effect, with billions of colorful lights rushing past, all aimed at Zhou Lin.

The Lord of the Star River had no time to stop it, nor was he able to stop it.

The ranged attacks of the universe's strongest being seemed to have a built-in tracking function, penetrating everywhere and arriving from all directions in an instant, reaching Zhou Lin in front of him.

Innate Secret Technique - Differentiation!
puff!
The sound of bubbles bursting echoed through the space, and Zhou Lin's body instantly split in two. The one wearing the Divine Abyss Armor was hit by billions of streams of light.

Boom!

The sixth-order top-tier power shattered Zhou Lin's divine body instantly, even through the top-tier treasure armor.

"What?!" The Zerg Queen's pupils constricted sharply. She truly hadn't expected Zhou Lin to evade in this way: "Split God Body, and his aura hasn't weakened much yet?"

With her extensive knowledge and experience, she quickly realized that Zhou Lin's technique was a natural talent.

Only those with innate magical abilities dare to do this.

That's still considered good. The guardian of the Chaos Monument, Kander, can create 52 clones by himself, and each clone has 60% of the original's strength.

The Immortal Venerable also possesses similar methods; he can achieve this level of prowess even in close combat.

"Beichen, with this innate secret technique, it will be very difficult for the Empress's ranged attacks to kill you." The Lord of the Star River laughed heartily.

He can help deal with the Zerg Queen in close combat.

Zhou Lin was able to escape the attack by using a magic cicada shell. He had already put his Divine Abyss Armor back on and was looking at the Zerg Queen with a smile on his face.

The Zerg Queen herself is a ranged attack specialist.

“If this were outside, it would be much more troublesome for me to handle.”

Zhou Lin had nothing to be proud of. He was able to use his innate secret technique to dodge so easily because he had the Lord of the Star River and the rules of the Temple of Divergence.

Outside, the Zerg Queen could easily cover a vast area with sheer numbers, leaving him with no way to escape.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
One by one, the lords of the universe descended.

"Lord of the Star River, impressive skills," the Lord of Myriad Unions said coldly. "I really didn't realize you had dealings with Venerable Beichen."

The Lord of the Galaxy did not answer. If the Zerg Queen had been replaced by one of the two strongest beings in the universe from the Demon Race, this supreme palace-type treasure would have been in their hands long ago.

The Zerg Queen excels at ranged attacks.

"Lord of the Star River, Venerable Beichen, if you help me hold off these Lords of the Universe, I will give each of you a top-tier domain-level treasure, how about that?"

The Zerg Queen suddenly asked telepathically.

The Temple of the Divine God has been opened many times, and it still only contains one treasure. The reason why it can attract so many powerful people to come and search for treasure is because they can scheme against others.

For example, if Zhou Lin and the Lord of the Star River join forces, those who don't obtain the supreme treasure will receive some compensation.

Of the eighteen people present, some might even have formed alliances with each other.

Not everyone is aiming for the ultimate treasure.

“The price isn’t enough,” the Lord of the Galaxy replied. “Your Majesty, the group of Universe Lords behind us will arrive at the battlefield in at most fifteen minutes.”

"One domain-level item and one high-level palace item are acceptable to me," Zhou Lin replied. "As the strongest being in the universe, can't I be unwilling to pay even this small price?"

Top-tier realm-class treasures are worth approximately 2000-3000 treasure points.

The number of high-class palaces is around 800 to 1000.

The value of top-tier palace-type treasures almost always exceeds ten thousand.

After a moment's thought, the Zerg Queen replied, "No problem. I'll give you a palace-type treasure first, and you can proceed. I'll give you a domain-type treasure before I acknowledge you as my master."

The three hit it off immediately, and Zhou Lin completely forgot about his hatred for the Zerg. Not long ago, they had been fighting fiercely, and the Zerg Queen's killing of his clone was still fresh in his mind.

The secret deal has now begun.

In the universe, there are few eternal enemies, like the four supreme races: humans, insectoids, machine races, and demon races.

When one clan becomes powerful, the other three clans will quietly join forces.

Not to mention that this is a profitable endeavor, Zhou Lin would naturally not be foolish enough to insist on it. If things really escalate into a chaotic battle, who would dare say that he would be 100% guaranteed to seize the treasure?

It's better to grant the Zerg Queen's wish; there's no need to go against the treasure.

Whoosh!
Two streaks of light flashed in the Zerg Queen's hand, flying towards Zhou Lin and the Lord of the Galaxy respectively.

"not good!"

"The Zerg Queen must have persuaded them to join forces."

One by one, the expressions of the universe lords changed drastically. With the two strongest people present, along with the strange Venerable Beichen, joining forces, how could they possibly have any chance of competing?

After obtaining the treasure, the Lord of the Star River naturally had to do his utmost to accomplish his task, immediately unleashing the River of Night, where endless darkness enveloped the entire area.

Zhou Lin used a familiar suppression method, with endless sword energy accompanying his inner world.

When the Zerg Queen arrived at the Purple Gold Palace, she, as agreed, threw two top-tier domain-level treasures to Zhou Lin and the Lord of the Star River, respectively.

Otherwise, the two would immediately turn around and change their target.

"One Qijing Stone, exchanged for a top-tier domain, a high-level palace, not bad, not bad." The Lord of the Galaxy chuckled twice: "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty."

Zhou Lin also laughed and said, "The Empress is indeed generous."

After the Zerg Queen imprinted her life mark on it, she easily completed the recognition of her as the master.

Once a supreme palace-type treasure recognizes its master, the Temple of the Divine God will collapse, and the fundamental laws that shroud the Primordial Star will gradually dissipate.

"The final result is in."

Outside, the mountain dweller's eyes burned with anticipation; he had been waiting for a long time.
