Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 169 Giant Axe Declares War, Superpowers Send Troops
The soul slowly transforms and then nurtures two clones. This process takes a lot of time, but Zhou Lin can activate a hundredfold time acceleration at Star Soul Divine Mountain.

In the outside world, he can only maintain a time acceleration array at most ten times because his physical body is too strong, which would increase the burden. If the Traveler's Secret Cultivation reaches the True God Dominator Realm, he will not be able to maintain it at all.

"This treasure is truly heaven-defying." Zhou Lin himself felt a sense of disbelief. No wonder it was said that even true gods and rulers would put down their pride and try to seize it.

After absorbing one bottle, his soul strength will be comparable to that of a true god.

……

While Zhou Lin was busy improving himself at Star Soul Divine Mountain, the higher-ups of the six super powers had already found Giant Axe and put forward their demands. If they couldn't reach an agreement, then it would be time to fight.

The divine power of the giant axe descended upon this void.

Many of the strongest beings in the universe looked over, and the Zerg Queen and the others gritted their teeth in hatred. How many immortals and venerables had died from their three races over the years?

After a few years of relative peace, Zhou Lin returned to the original universe and casually killed them all. With such a massive number, the cost of resurrecting them would be extremely high.

"Giant Axe, you humans must compensate for all the losses our three races have suffered over the years!" the Mechanical God Father said first.

"Yes, compensation is mandatory!" the Dream Demon Ancestor roared. "Compensation is required, and you are forbidden from attacking our three races again. Otherwise, our six super powers will surely drive you humans to live in a small universe!"

"Are you threatening me, Dream Demon Ancestor?" Giant Axe's thick eyebrows suddenly twitched. "You're welcome to come and try, and see if your demon race or my human race will be wiped out first."

The giant axe swung arrogantly, supported by the map of the Divine Eye Clan, which gave him access to the most powerful treasure. Furthermore, Zhou Lin dared to say that he would annihilate the strongest being in the universe, so he was full of confidence.

"This is not a negotiating attitude. Can we all be a little more amicable?" The voice of the Crystal Clan's Holy Lord was extremely pleasant. This clan was born extremely perfect, especially those who had grown to his level.

The reason why these strongest beings in the universe were still willing to negotiate was because they were wary of Giant Axe, the strongest being in the universe. A race with the strongest beings will never perish.

If humanity were truly forced to live in a miniature universe, the unbridled Giant Axe and Zhou Lin could slaughter the descendants of all six major powers to the point of extinction, and completely destroy their territories.

There's no point in a fight to the death; what they really want is for peaceful talks and for both sides to develop on a level playing field.

They didn't know how Zhou Lin had killed the three races' kings and the cosmic venerable one; they just found it very strange.

"There's no point in negotiating with the three clans. Either cede the territory now, or wait for the Lord of Beichen to wipe out all your descendants, and then we'll annex it in the future."

The giant axe pointed at the many strongest individuals and declared forcefully, "If you other three major forces want to get involved, I'll give you time to organize your forces and bring them to my human territory to try and get involved."

This matter cannot be a sham peace talk. First of all, the Giant Axe does not want to ruin its own and humanity's reputation. The most numerous forces in the universe are not superpowers.

Billions of idle groups, along with various top forces, make up this colorful and diverse primordial universe.

If the giant axe makes a promise on the surface, but Zhou Lin secretly begins to assassinate the Lord of the Universe and tries to kill the strongest being in the Universe Sea, the six super powers will still join forces.

Therefore, he must adopt a pro-war attitude.

"Good, good, good."

The Demon Ancestor said "good" three times in a row: "The giant axe is not so domineering even when the Primordial Ancestor was around. I really want to see what gives you the confidence."

"See you on the battlefield." After saying this, the giant axe's divine power avatar vanished into thin air.

"Organize the universe lords, depart immediately." The Dream Demon Ancestor's face was extremely grim: "My demon race is ready to act at any time. We must capture some of the human universe lords."

"My Crystal Clan is one too."

"So are we."

……

The Lord of the Star River slowly said, "The Northern Frontier Alliance is, after all, an alliance. Hundreds of universe lords have their own ideas, and we need time to hold an internal meeting."

"Then let's wait for the Northern Frontier Alliance." The Zerg Queen quietly praised the three, saying, "With your ruling power, you will definitely be able to rally the entire Northern Frontier Alliance."

Between ethnic groups, matters that do not involve fundamental interests can be compromised, but when fundamental interests are involved, it must be a life-or-death war!
When the Lord of the Star River came to negotiate with Zhou Lin, humanity had already begun to withdraw all its King-level Immortals and Universe Venerables.

Zhou Lin also temporarily moved Star Soul Divine Mountain away. Although he had managed it like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, even the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom could fight against the Lord of the Universe with his array.

However, in the primordial universe, the upper limit of power was only the sixth order, which had long lost its practical significance for Zhou Lin.

Luo Feng, who is currently only at the cosmic level, also entered the small universe from the Star Soul Divine Mountain. His authority is comparable to that of a Marquis or Immortal.

Moreover, with Teacher Zhenyan around, Luo Feng was able to bring his family members into the miniature universe, but he definitely couldn't take Earth with him.

"I heard from the teacher that we will be living in this area for a long time." Luo Feng frowned, feeling that his current strength was still too insignificant.

The training he received in Star Soul Mountain was no less than, and no less than, that in the Primordial Secret Realm, and Luo Feng's understanding of the universe was also much higher.

Beside him, Prince Uka said in a low voice, "Our Void Realm Company is doing relatively well, and Star Soul Divine Mountain can be relocated entirely. Other forces can only take away their core members."

Zhou Lin's status among the human race is now vaguely comparable to that of the giant axe.

"I hope things will pass quickly," Luo Feng sighed. He was still very worried about his hometown, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and even the Milky Way galaxy, which might be affected by the war.

"Don't worry, with the great Lord of the North Star here, we humans will not be defeated." Prince Uka patted his chest and said, "Speaking of which, this Lord of the North Star is also your grandmaster, Luo Feng."

Since entering the universe and joining the Void Realm Company, Luo Feng has heard the most about the legend of his grandmaster, and he has regarded Zhou Lin as his goal.

……

Those superpowers were still studying how to fight. Some advocated splitting their forces into several groups, while others suggested that they simply stick together and push forward.

Normally, if the three races want to go to war, they can take action on the same day.

Because they are too close to human territory, but with the involvement of the Prison Clan, the Crystal Clan, and the Northern Frontier Alliance, there will be many variables.

Especially the Northern Xinjiang Alliance.

The Northern Frontier Alliance itself is a group that absorbs countless races and special life forms, so the Lord of the Star River and the Lord of the Black Lotus do not have absolute dominance.

Within the Prison Clan and the Crystal Clan, if the Demon Ancestor Saint Lord gives a word, how could any of the universe lords below dare to disobey?

At the headquarters of the Northern Frontier Alliance, a huge purple-gold conference table was set up, and dozens of universe lords attended the meeting, making it a rare and grand occasion.

"Why fight to the death with humans?" Lord Qilan directly contradicted at the conference table: "The three races, the Crystal Race, and the Prison Race are their business."

"Yes, I also think we don't need to get involved."

Several universe lords objected, but they had something else in mind: humanity's power had grown so great that we could join the Hong Alliance.

There's no profit to be made, so why would anyone risk their life against humans?

The reason for the Broken East River is because of its heritage, a heritage that can move the hearts of millions of races. The Northern Frontier Alliance itself is a group of idle races, with many special beings.

Who would want to fight to the death with humans for no reason?

The Lord of the Star Rivers was somewhat troubled. He knew perfectly well what these Universe Lords were thinking; at worst, they could just join the Grand Alliance. Some Universe Lords even thought that if humanity grew powerful enough to annex the territories of all the other top races, wouldn't their status be even higher after joining?

As a member, one should naturally prioritize one's own interests.

The Lord of the Star River was also mostly considering his own interests. As a special life form and a fifth-order universe lord, he had controlled the Northern Frontier Alliance for so many years, so naturally there was something for him to gain.

Joining Hongmeng is definitely not a good thing for him.

"After humans have swallowed them up, it will be our turn sooner or later," said the Star Lord of Liulan coldly. "If we don't restrain humans now, it will be too late to regret it in the future."

Lord Liulan is the spiritual leader of the Liulan Clan, the largest clan in the Northern Frontier Alliance, and he has no desire to bring his clan to join the Hong Alliance.

The Lord of the Black Lotus represents the six major plant life groups in the alliance.

The three of them had controlled the Northern Frontier Alliance for countless years and were used to being high above others, using the alliance to help them acquire resources.

How could he possibly accept joining the Hongmeng? The Lord of the Star River holds a position in the Northern Frontier Alliance comparable to the Lord of Chaos City. Even after joining, he might not be as powerful as the Lord of Void Gold.

"What harm is there in humans annexing us?" The Lord of Dark Mist stood up. "Whether we are in the Hong Alliance or the Northern Frontier Alliance, it doesn't make much difference to us, Lord Liulan Star."

“Yes, I think the Lord of Dark Mist is right.”

"Let humanity develop as it pleases. Why should we fight with them? If we really push them to the brink, how can we possibly be okay?"

The Lord of Dark Mist is not a leader of any race, but merely a special being. Yet, at this moment, he chose to stand up and speak for those universe lords who dared not speak.

None of the universe lords wanted to get involved.

Why would someone fight with humans if they have no benefit to gain?

Others may be uncertain, but if anyone dares to really get involved, Zhou Lin will definitely wipe out all their descendants. That's the loss right before our eyes.

Not to mention, they also risk losing the Lord of the Universe.

"Let's vote." The Lord of the Galaxy gently tapped the conference table, signaling everyone to stop arguing. Then, many universe lords and a few top universe overlords entered the virtual world.

five minutes later……

The voting results are in: of the approximately one hundred Universe Lords in the Northern Frontier Alliance, eighty-five attended the meeting.

Only thirteen people supported the alliance's participation in the war.

Twenty-nine people did not support the motion, while the rest abstained.

"Sigh." The Lord of the Star River sighed inwardly. Even among the three lords of the universe who had an excellent relationship, many of them firmly disagreed with participating in the war.

The trend is irreversible.

The Star Lord of Liulan had an extremely unpleasant expression. His Liulan clan was the largest clan in the Northern Frontier Alliance. Would they really join the Hong Alliance to serve tea and water to humans in the future?
"Let's drop this matter," the Lord of the Black Lotus said softly. "Our Northern Frontier Alliance will not get involved."

The Lord of the Galaxy stood up and walked out of the conference room. He had been in charge of the Northern Frontier Alliance for many years and always believed that he had some degree of dominance in this place.

Unexpectedly, even the Lord of Dark Mist, his friend, did not support his decision, let alone the other lords of the universe.

Da da da!
The Lord of Dark Mist, shrouded in a hazy gray aura, emerged.

“Star River, I don’t support you dragging the Alliance into the war, but if you’re determined to join the Allies, I will go with you,” the Lord of Dark Mist said directly.

The Lord of the Star River smiled helplessly: "I don't mean to blame you, I'm just very unwilling. If humans really take away the territory of the five top races, how strong will they be in the future? Many times stronger than the Divine Eye Clan."

The Divine Eye Clan only has seven of the strongest beings in the universe. Does that mean humanity will produce dozens of them in the future?

“The five top clans aren’t fools,” the Lord of Dark Mist said in a hoarse voice. “Star River, you’re too caught up in the situation to see the truth.”

"Ok?"

The Lord of the Galaxy looked at the Lord of the Dark Mist.

"Their descendants were all wiped out by the Lord of Beichen, which will surely force humanity to have no territory and force their race to stay in a small universe."

The Lord of Dark Mist frowned and said, "The Lord of the North Star wants to force all the lords of their universes and the strongest beings in the universe to go it alone, abandoning their own territories and pinning their hopes on the emergence of powerful beings from their current generation."

In the Lord of Dark Mist's view, Zhou Lin's fighting style was that of a pure mad dog.

Slaughtering all the descendants of the five peak races, and then waiting for more powerful beings to be born in one's own small universe, would be a case of hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of one's own.

He didn't know where Zhou Lin's confidence came from.

"They're fighting like dogs, but we can watch them fight from afar," the Lord of Dark Mist said emphatically. "Human territory is gone, the descendants of the five top races are gone, can they still maintain their superpower status in the future?"

The Lord of the Galaxy's eyes grew brighter the more he listened.

Yes.

The Northern Frontier Alliance has absolutely no need to get involved; they can just wait for humanity and the other five major powers to fight it out.

"Moreover, we can retreat, but the Prison Clan and the Crystal Clan cannot," the Lord of Dark Mist added. "If they retreat, all three races can immediately follow suit. Who will humanity turn its attention to then?"

The difference between alliances and ethnic groups is still too great.

Thus, the Northern Frontier Alliance, citing internal instability, announced its non-participation in the allied forces, leaving the other five major powers with no choice but to comply.

They could say they hated Zhou Lin to the core.

This has pushed both sides into a fight to the death, leaving no room for retreat.

The Prison Clan and the Crystal Clan cannot retreat now. If they dare to retreat, the three clans will retreat immediately, and then humanity will immediately target these two clans.

……

After Zhou Lin finished enhancing his soul, he quietly appeared in the primordial universe, and it was rare for him to have three clones appear at the same time.

“War? They will make a wise decision when I reveal my strength.” Zhou Lin looked at the giant axe: “In my opinion, there is no need to make the Kings and Venerables retreat to the small universe.”

Currently, within the human realm, only a group of immortals, specifically those who have been granted the title of Marquis, remain in charge.

Zhou Lin's confidence stemmed from the fact that the strength he displayed in the primordial universe, as well as his difficulty in dealing with opponents, far surpassed that of the strongest ordinary beings.

The three clones are the three strongest beings. Adding the giant axe and the Void True Demon God who was finally persuaded to help, that makes a total of five!

Moreover, Zhou Lin has a hidden trump card.
