Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 279 The Freedom Alliance is Established, and the Frustrated Lord of the Primordial Island
In the vast primordial universe, a turbulent undercurrent surges.

An unprecedented storm of war is quietly brewing.

Meanwhile, the two camps at the center of this storm are also quietly trying every means to continuously improve their own strength.

In particular, the allied forces, mainly composed of the six top powers—the Demon Race, the Insect Race, the Mechanical Race, the Prison Race, the Crystal Race, and the Northern Frontier Alliance—have used every means to frantically recruit any forces or lone strong individuals that might be drawn into their camp, causing the size of the entire allied forces to continue to expand.

In contrast, although the human faction did not actively try to win over others, and even set extremely strict requirements for those who wanted to join, the more they did so, the more the outside world felt that the human race definitely had powerful trump cards, which made some small and medium-sized forces even more eager to join.

In an incredibly oppressive and tense atmosphere, both super factions continued to expand, with new forces constantly coming to join them.

"The Founder of the Dark Universe has joined the Allied Forces!"

"Erzhou, join the allied forces!"

"The Misty Peak Alliance joins the human race!"

"Part of the Nine Domains Alliance has joined the Allied Forces!"

"The illusory demon god has joined the allied forces!"

"The Thorn Ring Alliance joins the human race!"

"The Three Mountains Alliance joins the Allied Forces!"

News reports kept breaking, and the shadow of war was brewing rapidly.

Overall, the coalition forces are stronger.

After all, the main body of the coalition camp was six of the nine peak forces in the original universe. These six forces alone, plus some of their original vassal forces, had more than two hundred universe masters. With the addition of some small and medium-sized forces that had joined them, their number of universe masters quickly exceeded three hundred!
Moreover, the allied forces also have a total of seven universe-strongest beings. The combined attack of one universe-strongest being is equivalent to that of more than ten universe lords. The two of them alone are comparable to the combat power of nearly a hundred universe lords!
On the human side, even including the original Hongmeng allies and the Miaofeng Alliance, Cihuan Alliance, and other forces that have successively defected, the number of Universe Lords is only barely close to one hundred. The difference in strength between the two sides is obvious.

As time went on, the division of power between the two sides gradually became clear.

Apart from a few of the strongest individuals, such as the Mountain Dweller and the Progenitor of Demonic Beasts, who did not express their opinions, most of the forces have made their statements.

Of the nine top powers in the primordial universe, only the 'Starry Sky Beast Alliance' and the 'Ancestral God Cult' have yet to express their stance.

Neither of these two sides has much need for territory, and even if the human race rises in the future, it will not have a significant impact on them. In addition, both sides have a good relationship with Luo Feng of the human race, so they want to try to negotiate with the human race first to see if the human race can offer them satisfactory conditions.

If they can be satisfied, they will naturally be more inclined to join the human race.

However, their hopes were destined to be dashed.
Even when facing these two top powers, the human race's response remained extremely resolute.

Anyone who wants to gain benefits from the human race should first unite with the human race and help them overcome the current difficulties!

However, given that both sides had a good relationship with Luo Feng, the human race promised to allocate more places to them after the war to send their younger generations to study at the Human Race's Myriad Paths Academy.

As for what level of inherited knowledge they will ultimately learn, that depends on their subsequent attitudes towards the human race and the qualifications of the younger generation they send.

Both sides were naturally extremely dissatisfied with the human race's response.

The alien races of the starry sky are alright; at least they are still a group.

On the other hand, the Ancestral God Cult is a loose alliance formed by a group of special beings around the three Ancestral Gods. Most of their high-ranking members have no descendants or clans, and all the benefits they strive for are for their own benefit.

They are told that they must first help the human race win the war before they will have a chance to access the ancient civilization's heritage. Moreover, that heritage must be learned by the younger generation, and there is no clear promise about what level they can ultimately learn. If the human race has even the slightest ulterior motive, then all their hard work will be in vain!
"Human demands are going too far!"

"How could we possibly agree to that? They're clearly trying to establish a subordinate alliance centered entirely around their human race. All forces within that alliance would have to abide by the rules set by their human race. What's the difference between that and becoming their vassals!"

"The human race's ambitions are too great!"

"Strange, where do they get the confidence to act like this? Did the Primordial Ancestor leave behind some special method, or did Luo Feng obtain some powerful trump card from the Broken East River inheritance?"

Although rejected by the humans, neither of the two alliances rushed to join the coalition forces, but instead chose to wait and see.

However, at this moment, two earth-shattering changes suddenly occurred—

First, the Purple Moon Holy Land in the Cosmic Sea made a high-profile announcement that it would list the human race as an enemy. Any human strongman, including those who helped the human race, would be surrounded and killed by the Purple Moon Holy Land if they entered the Cosmic Sea!

The Purple Moon Holy Land is one of only two holy lands in the Cosmic Sea, and its power is beyond question! This holy land alone has hundreds of universe lords, and each of them is a powerful universe lord who has created at least the strongest secret technique. There are even a few sixth-order universe lords who possess the most powerful treasures.

If such a powerful holy land universe were to truly target a certain force in the primordial universe, no party in the primordial universe would have any chance of resistance!

Now, the Purple Moon Holy Land is sending a signal that it intends to target the human race, which is definitely not good news for the human race!

However, before the forces of the primordial universe could even react to the shock of this news, an even more bombshell announcement immediately ignited the entire primordial universe!
In the primordial universe, a vast alliance was formed by 282 powerful races, nearly 10,000 ordinary races, and a huge number of weak races!

Freedom Alliance!

This alliance was founded by the 'Primordial Island Lord', one of the most mysterious and strongest beings in the original universe. At the beginning of the alliance, it absorbed six second-tier forces similar to the 'Spiked Ring Alliance'. The total number of all the universe lords exceeded 400!
Although it is unknown how the Lord of Shihua Island connected these extremely scattered forces and clans, this alliance was established so quickly!
An incredibly powerful force, surpassing even the combined forces of the Zerg and other top powers in terms of scale!
The Lord of the Universe of the Unfettered Races is the key to this final war in the primordial universe!

From the very beginning, the allied forces were frantically trying to recruit more independent races and universe masters to their side. However, even though they tried every means to win them over, only about 200 were successfully recruited to join the allied forces. The majority of them chose to remain neutral for the time being.

Currently, the total number of Universe Lords in the entire Allied Forces is just approaching 400.

As soon as this Free Alliance was established, its size directly surpassed that of the entire coalition!
Therefore, the news of the establishment of the Freedom Alliance immediately caused a huge uproar throughout the entire primordial universe!

Bloodfang Star, the territory of the demon race.

A stream of intent descended upon this place, and the Northern Frontier Alliance was an incarnation of the Black Lotus Lord.

"hateful."

"Incredible! These weak, minor forces and second-rate powers have actually united! Forming such a super alliance, even some of the universe lords who originally joined our allied forces have defected. We couldn't stop them, and we couldn't persuade them to stay!"

"Shihua, Shihua, Shihua, we knew he was extraordinary all along, yet he still managed to create this super alliance for him! He was probably already plotting this in secret when he learned that the human race had obtained the inheritance of an ancient civilization!"

"Now, the initiative is in the hands of this super league."

"We'll just wait."

"What exactly is this Super League going to do?"

Human race, primeval secret realm.

"Damn the Purple Moon Holy Land, they're kicking us while we're down! With their threat, some idle forces that originally had a chance to join our human race are now retreating!"

"Damn it, I didn't expect the Purple Moon Holy Land to interfere. However, the Purple Moon Holy Land's influence can't ultimately reach the primordial universe, so we don't need to pay attention to them for now. What we really need to focus on is this newly established Free Alliance!"

"The Freedom Alliance? That old codger, Shi Hua, actually created such a force quietly. With over four hundred Universe Lords, they're enough to determine the balance of power between us and that allied forces!"

The founder of the Giant Axe, the Lord of Chaos City, and other powerful human figures all wore solemn expressions.

"That Lord of Shihua Island really knows how to seize opportunities. I never thought he would actually manage to create this Freedom Alliance."

Qi Yuan sighed inwardly, but his face didn't show much surprise.

"Gentlemen, there is no need to worry. Just prepare as I have instructed before."

Qi Yuan smiled and reassured everyone, "If the Free Alliance doesn't bother us, fine. But if they try to take advantage of our human race's misfortune, then we'll have to give them a surprise!"

Upon hearing his words, the gloom on the faces of the human warriors gradually dissipated, and instead, they all revealed confident smiles.

"Haha, yes, give them a surprise! A huge surprise!"

The entire Free Alliance has more than 400 Universe Lords, and the strongest being in the universe, the Primordial Island Lord, is also in charge. This is an incredibly terrifying and powerful force that can influence the course of the war between the two major factions!
The purpose of the Lord of Shihua Island in contacting various forces to form this alliance was naturally very simple: he wanted to raise his own status and use the power of the entire Freedom Alliance to gain more benefits!

“The envoys sent to both camps have returned. It’s understandable that the allied forces refused, since I didn’t expect them to agree in the first place and just casually raised the prices. But why did the human race also reject my request so decisively? Aren’t they worried that I will turn around and join the allied forces?”

"It seems I must personally... Hmm? Lord of Light?"

"Good! Good! Good! Good indeed! I worked so hard to build this force, only to be betrayed by you lot! Damn you!"
