Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 177 Occupying Territory and Cultivating in Dreams
No matter how the Mechanical Race Father God views Zhou Lin now, he feels that the other party is going to use conspiracies and tricks, such as negotiating on the surface but actually secretly attacking the Demon Ancestor.

If we allow him to establish power within the territory, will that territory still belong to us in the future?
“The assassins are all from within your own clan, and I’m even helping you train strong individuals. What’s there to be unhappy about?” Zhou Lin raised an eyebrow: “You can’t say that you don’t have any control over your own clan, can you?”

Just like the assassins who join the Bloodblade Tavern, their primary loyalty is still to their clan. Zhou Lin isn't trying to build a cosmic army.

Assassins only need to have professional ethics; they don't need to be loyal to anyone.

After a brief calculation, the Mechanical God Father realized that his race was the most stable, and Zhou Lin's target was precisely those subordinate races.

Members of the Machine Race will recognize life forms stronger than themselves as their masters, so theoretically, the Machine Race Father God can instantly kill everyone together.

The Zerg are similar; their core members are the Queen, and Zhou Lin's ambitions still lie with those subordinate races.

The demon race is an even more chaotic and bloodthirsty group.

……

"Do you have a detailed plan?" the Crystal Clan Holy Lord said calmly. "Lord of the North Star, you went to great lengths to kill the Demon Ancestor and deal with the Prison King. You must have already prepared a specific implementation plan and are certain that we will agree."

There isn't much internal strife within his clan, but he can move the Virtual Realm Company to his affiliated clan for use.

After all, the territories occupied by these elite races are among the most precious areas in the primordial universe, rich in resources and cosmic essence.

Eighty percent were relocated, and the remaining twenty percent could be used to cultivate elites within the community.

“You’re all smart people,” Zhou Lin said with a smile. “I can solemnly promise that I will not touch any of you juniors in the future, nor will I hunt you down.”

"My demon race agrees."

The Dream Demon Ancestor was the first to speak: "Lord of Beichen, I am completely convinced of my defeat at your hands."

There's nothing you can do if you don't agree.

In the primordial universe, Zhou Lin alone was comparable to the strongest beings in the four universes. His overwhelming suppressive power made it impossible for even the Lord of the Universe to come out and fight.

Needless to say, in the Cosmic Sea, the feat of killing a single strongest being in the universe is something even the God-Eye True Lord has not yet achieved.

Moreover, Zhou Lin has unlimited potential for the future, and no one wants to continue to be enemies with such a monster. It wouldn't hurt to soften their stance and give way.

“My Crystal Clan agrees.”

"Show me the detailed plan. If there are no problems, my mechanical race agrees."

"The Zerg agree."

After the four major races compromised and signed the treaty, they allocated 80 percent of their territory to humanity. The Hell Clan was not so lucky; they couldn't even keep a single planet.

……

When the news spread, the Northern Frontier Alliance was extremely shocked, and the Lord of the Star River was even more annoyed, even though they had not joined the camp to punish humanity.

But before the war, the Lord of the Star River had gone to negotiate with Zhou Lin, so who knows if the other party will remember this.

"Lord of the Qianwu Kingdom, can you really not find the Lord of the North Star?" The Lord of the Star River also came to the human territory once again. This was not his first time visiting this cosmic kingdom.

But this time I came to ask for a favor.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at the fifth-order universe lord before him, a legendary figure whose name resounded throughout the universe, yet he showed no airs whatsoever in front of him.

This is a very rare occurrence. You must know that with the arrogance of the Lord of the Star River, even ordinary universe venerables have to bow and scrape when speaking to him.

"The Lord of Beichen asked me to tell you this," the King of Qianwu said politely. "If you want to chat with him casually, I'm willing to take any risks. But matters between clans are best left unsaid. As for what happened between you and him that day, he's forgotten about it."

A completely official and businesslike attitude.

Zhou Lin couldn't promise the Lord of the Star River anything. Once humanity develops, it will definitely annex many races of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

Their forces were originally formed by a large number of idle groups, and when faced with human encroachment, they would probably turn against them immediately.

Not to mention the Northern Frontier Alliance, as soon as the news of the Demon Ancestor's death spread, many of the Prison Clan's affiliated clans rushed to the Hong Alliance overnight, hoping to be absorbed into their ranks.

"Hmm." The Lord of the Star River did not press the matter further and left dejectedly.

The news spread faster and faster, causing a great shock throughout the entire universe. Among billions of races, all the strongest lone warriors knew of the Lord of the North Star.

This also resulted in Zhou Lin receiving another wave of rewards.

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Chaos Flying Boat]

Zhou Lin has never had any good palace-type treasures, and the Star Tower is not an opportunity he can obtain. As for the Tomb Ship, it will be a long time before it appears.

By the time the Tomb Ship was born, Zhou Lin was probably already cultivating in his dreams.

The Chaos Flying Boat is quite a remarkable treasure.

A top-grade Void Divine Weapon costs close to thirty Origin Stones, and Zhou Lin's Sword of Nothingness is even cheaper. Such a Chaos Flying Boat is worth fifty stones!

A chaotic spaceship capable of withstanding the great cataclysm of the cosmic era.

Even a true god could wield it and contend head-on with a Void God. It could also avoid many dangerous areas within the chaotic void, so its hardness is unimaginable.

Although the destruction of the Tianyu Universe's era was certainly far less powerful than that of the primordial universe, ordinary void gods would still be instantly killed within it.

Zhou Lin took out the Chaos Flying Boat and examined it closely. He thought that this thing, in terms of defense alone, could probably withstand attacks from the Unity Realm, but it would definitely be helpless against the Chaos Realm.

At least dealing with the World Beast crisis should be no problem.

"With the Chaos Flying Boat, I've been to most environments in the Cosmic Sea, but right now, the most important thing is to cultivate in my dreams."

……

In the microcosm of the First God.

"Teacher, have you heard?" The avatar of the Sixth True Lord rushed over in a hurry: "The Lord of the North Star has single-handedly killed the Demon Ancestor!"

In recent years, the Divine Eye True Lord has rarely ventured into the Cosmic Sea, instead focusing on comprehending the Dao and placing his hopes on Zhou Lin, but he also needs to work hard himself.

One cannot go far by relying solely on others.

A large part of the reason why beings in the primordial universe found it difficult to break through the cycle of reincarnation was that they simply did not know what the path ahead was.

He had no idea how to break through to the Void True God realm, let alone how to cultivate to the tenth level.

"Single-handedly killed the Demon Ancestor?" The Divine Eye True Lord quickly recalled the Demon Ancestor's equipment and said incredulously, "Didn't the Demon Ancestor have the most powerful treasure armor?"

"Teacher, the Lord of Beichen is a tenth-tier being! He's a cosmic lord with tenth-tier combat power!" The Sixth True Lord exclaimed with ecstasy, "He was already this monstrous during his time as a cosmic lord, how incredible it would be if he became the strongest!"

When a Cosmic Venerable breaks through to the Cosmic Lord level, the leap in power won't be particularly exaggerated.

For example, when a top-tier cosmic overlord breaks through, they normally only advance by about one rank, and it takes a long time before they can advance by two ranks. However, when a cosmic master breaks through to become the strongest in the universe, their research into secret techniques becomes extremely different. Even if they were only at the fourth rank before the breakthrough, they can quickly reach the seventh rank after the breakthrough.

"Tenth rank, Primordial Ancestor level combat power, how long has he been cultivating?" The Divine Eye True Lord murmured, "My clan gave him a map and a supreme treasure back then, he probably doesn't care about it now."

If the original ancestor hadn't been suppressed, a tenth-tier powerhouse could easily have collected a large number of treasures and the core map.

"That's not important. What's important is that he had the opportunity to go through reincarnation in this era."

The Sixth True God was very excited: "If even such a monster can't break through the cycle of reincarnation, then I don't know who else can!"

This matter is now being spread like wildfire throughout the entire Divine Eye Clan.

"Notify all members of my race who are venturing out into the world that if they encounter any humans or the Lords of the Universe of the Hong Alliance, they must find a way to help them, especially the humans themselves."

The All-Seeing God immediately made a decision: "Do not disturb the Lord of the North Star, and do not say anything when helping humanity. In time, he will see our dedication."

He understood his place perfectly. Zhou Lin was already stronger than him, and there was a great chance that he would be able to break through the cycle of reincarnation in the future. That was the hope of the clan.

After this news spread, E Zhou was even more shocked. He hurriedly asked someone to pass on a message to Zhou Lin, saying that he dared not cause any more trouble for Venerable Jiu Feng and hoped that he could forgive him.

E Zhou is hiding in the primordial universe and doesn't dare to step into the cosmic sea now, but Zhou Lin didn't express any intention to forgive him because he had made his words very clear back then.

If you back down now, this matter will end here. If you insist on getting involved, you will be creating a huge karmic debt that you can't escape.

Therefore, E Zhou will die at Zhou Lin's hands sooner or later.

Meanwhile, after explaining a lot of things to his clan, Zhou Lin casually reversed time and resurrected the original Marquis Beichen, though he would definitely have to change his title now.

After his resurrection, he also took the time to meet with his grand-disciple Luo Feng.

The summit of Xinghun God Mountain.

Luo Feng's growth path was not much different from the original one. During the negotiations, the human race had already withdrawn from the small universe.

The war didn't last long either.

As for whether he now denies the existence of the Star Tower, Zhou Lin was unsure.

"Grandmaster." Luo Feng bowed respectfully. He had heard the legend of the Lord of Beichen ever since he left the universe, and it was a common sight in the Qianwu Universe.

"You have such combat power even during the Realm Lord era, you are quite good." Zhou Lin said with a smile, "Zhen Yan has many disciples, but I have only seen the Bloodthirsty King and you."

"I'm still far inferior to my grandmaster," Luo Feng said modestly.

He met the Bloodthirsty King by chance when he visited the Zhenyan Mansion last time. Zhou Lin was in a good mood and gave him a valuable treasure as a reward.

The reason I took the time to see Luo Feng this time was because he was going to enter the dream world to cultivate for hundreds of millions of years, and perhaps even a billion years at the longest. By then, the Jin world and other worlds would have already been born.

Zhou Lin offered Luo Feng a few pointers on cultivation, but didn't bestow any treasures upon him. It was best not to interfere, as the other party had his own destiny.

After seeing Luo Feng off, Zhou Lin wanted to have the giant axe cast a time-slowing spell on him, but since cultivation in a dream involves the main body entering, and his main body's physical body was too powerful, the other party would find it difficult to sustain for a long time.

With his physical body alone, even without relying on any other means, Zhou Lin could compete with the strongest beings in the primordial universe.

It's still at the top of Star Soul Mountain.

"Ujira..." A faint voice soon echoed in Zhou Lin's soul, and his eyes quickly became unfocused as he fell into a deep sleep.

Zhou Lin can now sleep peacefully in the Star Soul Divine Mountain because he has repaired the formation to an extremely perfect degree. Even the Qianwu Kingdom Lord can exert fifth-order combat power here.

Moreover, the original body resides in the primordial universe.

Zhou Lin drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face. This was an incredible opportunity; very few universes in the Chaotic Void could offer such treatment, and it could only be done within the Primordial Demon Mountain.

The Primordial Demon Mountain is a place where those in the Initial Realm and the Unity Realm reside.

The Lord of Chaos City was completely dumbfounded. Zhou Lin came to the Initial Universe saying he needed to go into seclusion to cultivate, but he turned around and collapsed on the ground, sleeping with a smile on his face.

Zhou Lin possesses immense strength; he is an invincible being capable of killing the strongest beings in the universe, and he has no rivals in the vast universe.

"Lord of Chaos City, please do not use your divine sense to probe his condition." At this moment, the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom also sent an email.

Zhou Lin fell asleep much faster than he expected, before he could even give instructions to the Lord of Chaos City.

He only told everyone in the Void Realm Company not to use divine sense to detect the state, but the Qianwu Kingdom Lord still took the initiative to remind the Chaos City Lord.

Just kidding. Even a true god would momentarily lose consciousness if he dared to probe this state, let alone a cosmic ruler like him.

“Alright.” The Chaos City Lord replied quickly, “You must keep the fact that the Lord of Beichen is sleeping a secret from everyone in your Void Realm Company. We haven’t finished harvesting our territory yet, so we can’t let it leak out.”

It has now been only six months since the Zhou Lin negotiation incident.

But the Lord of Chaos City was worrying unnecessarily. Even without showing his face, Zhou Lin had enough deterrent power. His name was now the source of humanity's confidence to run rampant.

In the cosmic sea, in the secret realms of the primordial universe, when various races encounter members of the Hong Alliance, especially the powerful members of the human race, they all have to speak to each other with humility.

……

These years have been peaceful, but the cosmic landscape has changed, and the Mountain Guest has arranged other challenges for Luo Feng, so his development progress is no different from before.

Even without considering time acceleration, after Zhou Lin had been asleep for over ten epochs, Luo Feng also became a universe master, and a universe master with extremely powerful strength at that.

After the Duan Donghe inheritance was obtained, other races could only feel deep envy and dared not harbor any covetous thoughts, because the rise of mankind was unstoppable.

Having acquired so much territory, how many powerful individuals have been born from it?

Even the strongest lone traveler who desires it must carefully consider whether he can afford to offend the Lord of the Northern Star in the cosmic sea; the rest of the races need not even be considered.

As for the forces in the Cosmic Sea, especially those from the first reincarnation era, they were all crazy, and some of them actually dared to besiege Luo Feng.

But the Divine Eye Clan suddenly declared that anyone who dares to go against humanity is going against them. They had lost so many powerful warriors in the Tomb Ship, and were already extremely grieving with no outlet for their grief.

Anyone who dares to provoke humanity will face the wrath of the other major deities.

Zhou Lin couldn't possibly tell them in advance not to enter the Tomb Ship in the future. First, they might not believe him, and second, there was no need to.

The Divine Eye Clan isn't a giant axe.

Giant Axe listened to advice and did not venture into the core area of ​​the Peak Realm.

The map Luo Feng obtained was also meaningless, as it was not as detailed as the one given by the Divine Eye Clan, so the Giant Axe naturally wouldn't go there.

In passing down the legacy of the Broken East River, Luo Feng provided the True Demon God with relatively detailed guidance, since the True Demon God was his great-grandfather in terms of seniority, and the other party had sided with humanity in several incidents.
