Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

virtual universe.

Mountain of the Gods, Temple of the Gods.

Ye Xingkong sat on the throne behind many of the universe's venerable ones, reading the two detailed documents in front of him.

One document is about the upcoming Primal Star;
The other one, however, is related to the contribution system within human groups.

"contribute……"

Ye Xingkong pondered for a moment, then clicked on a document below.

"Within a group, there are those who enjoy resources, and naturally, there must also be those who contribute resources."

"All ordinary humans and immortal gods are users of resources! Ordinary humans can enjoy peace and stability; immortal gods can receive guidance and instruction from super-powerful beings, and even be bestowed with treasures."

"However, once you enter the ranks of the universe's strongest beings and are placed in the highest council, it means that you have become a high-ranking member of the human race."

"The human race needs true strong individuals to contribute! Only with the contributions of the strong can billions of humans, geniuses throughout history, and countless immortal resources be enjoyed."

"Strong individuals will contribute treasures and resources to their clans, and everything will be recorded in contribution points..."

"Contribution points can be used to exchange for any treasures and resources you need."

"Hongmeng King Ye Xingkong, when you are ranked in the highest meeting of the race, it means that you have become one of the super strong people of my human race. You are fully capable of making huge contributions to my human race and can exchange the resources and treasures you need with contribution points."

In just a moment, Ye Xingkong finished reading the document in his hand.

Clearly, only the strongest members who join the highest council of the clan for the first time will receive this detailed information about 'contribution points'.

"Contribution points?"

Ye Xingkong said softly.

He rose from a weak cosmic-level warrior on an extraterrestrial battlefield to become the invincible king, comparable to a Venerable One and renowned throughout the universe.

Although he never joined any of the five top powers along the way, nor did he obtain any resources from them.

However, to be fair, Ye Xingkong had indeed been a beneficiary of the clan's resources before this.

The five top powers control the human race, but that does not mean that the five powers represent the entirety of the human race.

Within the human race, there are quite a few lone wolves like Ye Xingkong who do not join any faction.

"If every member of a group wants benefits and wants the group to bestow them upon them, how can they become powerful?"

Ye Xingkong understood perfectly well that it was like a primitive tribe where adults hunted, women cultivated crops, and children and the elderly enjoyed the food.

Within a group, the super strong contribute, while the geniuses, the weak, and the ordinary people enjoy the resources.

Only in this way can the ethnic group grow and thrive.

"Compared to the billions of races in the universe, the human race is physically weak and has no advantages whatsoever. As for the races such as the star beasts and the demon race, they are inherently at a complete disadvantage."

"However, this race, which has no extraordinary talents whatsoever, has managed to grow and thrive in the cruel universe, becoming one of the six most powerful races in the universe!"

"It is precisely because of the contributions of countless powerful individuals!"

Ye Xingkong was deeply moved.

Having fought on extraterrestrial battlefields more than once, he deeply understands the cruelty of the universe.

The universe has never been peaceful, following the naked dark forest law, and the human race did not always possess such a vast territory.

If it weren't for the selfless contributions and protection of countless super-strong individuals, how could the human race's territory be so vast, with 1008 cosmic kingdoms?

They have probably already been divided up and eaten by other cosmic races.

"Only by joining the ranks of the universe's strongest can one begin to contribute to their race!"

"If a human warrior finds a treasure while adventuring on a primordial planet, he may use it himself."

"If you don't need it yourself, you can give it to the tribe in exchange for contribution points!"

Contribution points can be used to exchange for powerful treasures and supreme treasures, as well as items that can enhance the level of life genes and almost any resource.

"No wonder, every time the Primordial Star opens, countless powerful beings flock in and engage in endless battles, as if it were a grand feast in the universe!"

Even if you acquire a priceless treasure that you can't use, you can still exchange it for other treasures and resources that are useful to you.

Ye Xingkong's eyes immediately lit up.

Because of his status as a direct disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, although he did not join the five top forces, he was able to indirectly use the treasure trove of the Virtual Universe Company.

In reality, the treasures in the Virtual Universe Company's vault are not all-encompassing.

Some truly rare treasures, such as the blood of the Beast God, supreme treasures, and great treasures, can only be exchanged in the clan's treasury.

These treasures are strategic resources for any race, and their quantity is extremely limited. Even a cosmic sage would be incredibly tempted by them.

"The primordial star will be launched in a full hundred years."

"During this hundred years, everyone can prepare. For example, several strong individuals who can complement each other can form a team, or borrow treasures from some strong individuals who are unwilling to go to the original star, etc."

"Let's prepare everything within the next hundred years. One hundred years from now, our human race will march on the Primal Star!"

In the mighty voice of the Lord of Chaos City, as calm as the vast sea, the Supreme Meeting ended.

Rumble~
The gates of the Pantheon opened, and almost all the cosmic lords stood up, chatting and laughing as they walked toward the golden gates of the Pantheon, then teleported away.

······
virtual universe.

Hongmeng City.

This place not only gathers thousands of cosmic venerables from the human race, but also tens of thousands of cosmic venerables from the entire Hong Alliance.

The Hongmeng is a super cosmic alliance centered on humanity and composed of numerous alien races.

In terms of the overall number of powerful individuals, the Hongmeng Alliance naturally has far more than the human race.

In front of a magnificent palace, Ye Xingkong and the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom sat drinking.

"Disciple, what are your thoughts on the upcoming event on the Primordial Star?"

The King of Qianwu said with a smile.

"My strength is average. Although I have been recognized by the clan and entered the highest council, I am only comparable to a low-level universe venerable."

"The original planet is fraught with danger. I can only go and take a look at it at most. Going deep into the danger is absolutely out of the question."

Ye Xingkong thought about it and finally decided to let the main body hold out for now.

Anyway, the original star has been open for a full thousand epochs, and there is still a very long time to go.

"What, teacher, do you also want to venture out to the Primordial Planet?"

Ye Xingkong's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in surprise.

"indeed so."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded, a look of interest on his face, and sighed, "The Primordial Star only opens once every countless years, and it contains endless opportunities and treasures. Who wouldn't want to go in and explore?"

"but……"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom hesitated, a look of worry on his face.

Although his strength has greatly improved, he is now full of ambition and wants to go to the original star to show his divine power.

However, his previous series of deaths had left him heavily in debt, and he no longer possessed any powerful treasures.

For a powerful individual, treasures also constitute a significant portion of their strength.

Moreover... the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler is renowned, and probably no powerful figure would dare to team up with him to venture into the Primal Star.

"Bad luck!"

"If I had a few powerful and top-tier treasures, I would surely be able to gain something on the Primordial Star and kill a few alien Venerables!"

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said with great frustration.

"Teacher, if you ask me, we should play it safe."

A bead of cold sweat dripped down Ye Xingkong's forehead.

If the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom were to perish again, not only would his debts double, but the life gene level he had painstakingly raised would also be reduced to zero.

The blood of the Beast God is, after all, an external object. The Lord of the Universe resurrected the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, but he wouldn't bring the Beast God's blood back from the river of time. "Alas! You can't say that!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said calmly, "If I were still at my previous level of strength, I would naturally have to be patient. However, now that my strength has greatly increased, I should forge ahead."

"Moreover... the previous a hundredfold increase in the level of life genes also greatly improved my comprehension. The accumulation of billions of epochs has finally allowed me to take that step."

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom smiled mysteriously.

"Take that step?"

"Could it be that, teacher, you..."

Ye Xingkong looked surprised and asked in astonishment.

"That's right!"

"I have created my own ultimate secret technique at the level of a cosmic overlord!"

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said with great pride.

He had never revealed this to the outside world, not even to Ye Xingkong, hoping that one day he could make a name for himself.

"Indeed, we should not underestimate those elderly venerable ones!"

Ye Xingkong sighed inwardly.

Ancient venerable beings like the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, who have not made any progress for countless epochs, appear to have exhausted their potential and have an extremely slim chance of breaking through.

However, from another perspective, their accumulation of knowledge has also reached an incredibly profound level.

Either there is no progress, but once there is improvement, it may trigger a chain reaction, allowing you to cross the gap!

"Ultimate Secret Technique of the Universe Overlord Level..."

"Congratulations, teacher!"

Ye Xingkong stood up and said with great joy.

Now that he has created his own ultimate secret technique at the level of a cosmic overlord, the difference between the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom and a cosmic overlord may only be the difference of one or two ordinary treasures.

"Humph!"

"Look at how steady your teacher is. If he wasn't confident, why would he go on an adventure to the Primordial Star?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said calmly.

"If that's the case, I do know two powerful alien beings who are extremely strong. Perhaps we can travel together with you, Master, to explore the Primal Star."

Ye Xingkong thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"Oh?"

"Disciple, you actually know such a powerful person?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was clearly taken aback.

But on second thought, I wasn't so surprised.

Ye Xingkong's ability to rival a Venerable despite being a King must mean he has received some special opportunities in the universe.

For someone with great fortune, it's perfectly normal to get to know several super-powerful individuals.

"Who are you two?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom asked calmly.

"The Five Elements Venerable and the Divine Axe Venerable."

Ye Xingkong remained calm and composed, casually creating two identities for his two clones.

"Five elements? Divine axe?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was slightly taken aback.

He had traversed the universe for so many eras, yet he had never heard of the titles of these two powerful figures.

However, given the vastness of the universe, it is not surprising that there are indeed many low-profile, powerful individuals whose names are unknown and who have never been heard of.

Are these two... reliable?

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked serious and asked the question that concerned him most.

"Don't worry! You can absolutely trust them!"

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly.

You don't even trust me? I'll take you flying when the time comes!

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded with some skepticism.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Ye Xingkong, but rather that the caution of a strong person kept him skeptical.

······
The primordial universe, a place infinitely far from the borders of humankind.

Ancient Abyss Secret Realm.

This secret realm is inhabited by an ordinary race in the universe, the Thunder Spirits.

However, the Ancient Abyss Secret Realm is incredibly vast, with a maximum diameter exceeding 1.3 million light-years.

The area controlled by the Thunder Spirit Clan is less than one millionth of the Ancient Abyss Secret Realm.

Other areas of the Ancient Abyss Secret Realm are fraught with danger, and even universe venerables can perish in some of these perilous places.

However, the more dangerous a place is, the more likely it is to harbor some rare and precious cosmic treasures.

Rumble~
Deep within the Ancient Abyss Secret Realm, intense black storms swept across the void, seemingly about to tear apart the universe.

This black storm contains extremely terrifying power; even a mere wisp of it would annihilate many of the divine bodies of ordinary universe venerables.

At this very moment, however, the two enormous figures ignored the black storm and were engaged in a fierce battle.

A golden axe blade tore through the void, stretching for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, unleashing terrifying power that seemed poised to split the universe in two.

Bang!
The axe struck a giant whose body was crackling with purple lightning, instantly creating a deep wound. The giant was then blasted tens of millions of kilometers away.

“Venerable Lei Meng, I was the one who saw this ‘Myriad Shadows Void Stone’ first.”

"If you continue to overestimate yourself, don't blame me for being merciless with my axe."

Panwu's clone stood tall and imposing, his body faintly enveloped in chaotic energy, and spoke with a cold expression.

"hateful!"

"I have a supreme armor protecting me, yet that axe blow annihilated one-thousandth of my divine body?"

"No, his axe is clearly also a priceless treasure!"

"When did a strange cosmic overlord, the Divine Axe Venerable, appear in the universe? Why have I never heard of him before?"

Lei Ling was furious.

He had discovered this Myriad Shadows Void Stone decades ago, but it was not yet formed at that time... Now that it was about to be born, it was intercepted by a strange powerhouse. How could he not be angry?
"Divine Axe Venerable, you just wait and see!"

Thunder Spirit Venerable roared and then ran away without hesitation.

There was no other way; we couldn't win a fight, so what else could we do but run away?

"A mere High-Level Universe Venerable dares to challenge me, relying only on a supreme treasure armor?"

Ye Xingkong watched Lei Ling Venerable's departing figure and snorted coldly.

If he hadn't been unwilling to kill, then Venerable Lei Ling would probably have perished long ago.

"This Myriad Shadows Void Stone is 30 kilometers long, 90 kilometers wide, and 200 kilometers high."

"Indeed, the value of this material alone is no less than that of an ordinary supreme treasure. If it were in my possession, it could easily become the main material for refining a high-grade supreme treasure. It's just a pity that I'm not confident enough to refine a high-grade supreme treasure yet!"

Ye Xingkong was in a fairly good mood.

This Myriad Shadows Void Stone was his greatest acquisition in the past ten thousand years. (End of Chapter)
