Swallowing the Stars: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 157 Hunting Value

Since the treasures involved were of the highest level, the Lord of Void Gold took Li Che's hunting of top alien universe overlords very seriously. This universe lord even personally used his authority to select a powerful figure to help Li Che choose an opponent.

Li Che did not have to wait long before he met the human powerhouse in the virtual universe.

This was an elderly man who looked like a normal human being. He wore a blue battle robe and had a deep aura. Even in the virtual universe, one could feel the vigorous life force emanating from him.

"Venerable Ancestor Tree, it's been a long time!"

Li Che recognized the identity of this cosmic venerable at a glance. He was none other than the Ancestral Tree Venerable, one of the three ancient and top cosmic overlords of the human race. Li Che had met his human counterpart in the Giant Axe Universe.

The three ancient and top cosmic overlords of the human race all have clones, each of whom has a clone that resides within the primordial universe for an extended period.

"I received an invitation from the Lord of False Gold, asking me to find some top alien cosmic overlords as opponents for you. It seems you've decided to show your strength."

With a single step and an instant, Venerable Ancestral Tree quickly arrived at Li Che's manor in the virtual universe. The two looked at each other, and Venerable Ancestral Tree smiled.

His human form and Li Che's Great Star Avatar were neighbors for a long time in the Giant Axe Universe, occasionally exchanging sparring blows. The Ancestral Tree Venerable certainly knew how much progress Li Che had made over the years.

Li Che nodded and pushed the book in front of Venerable Zushu.

As a top cosmic overlord who rose to prominence in the early days of humankind, the Ancestral Tree Venerable certainly has a lot to say about this field.

"Since you want to establish your authority by killing a top alien cosmic overlord, you should choose someone who doesn't have a clone and has poor survival skills, preferably someone who also has a superior treasure that will make the aliens feel sorry for them."

The Venerable Ancestral Tree accepted the book containing information about many top alien cosmic overlords, a smile appearing on his face.

The greatest advantage of being a top-tier cosmic overlord is not only their immense strength, but also the fact that even those at a lower level can be resurrected by the strongest beings in the universe through time reversal.

This means that, as long as they are not enslaved by their souls, the top cosmic overlords are a fighting force that can be resurrected indefinitely, and if necessary, they can even disregard their own lives.

In the eyes of the Ancestral Tree Venerable, killing top cosmic overlords is not important; what truly matters is the extent of the damage that killing them can inflict on alien races.

"Like this one, the overlord of all streams of the mechanical race. This guy has no clones and possesses a high-level class treasure. If we can kill him, not only will he lose a lot of treasures, but the mechanical race's father god will also have to come and resurrect him personally."

"And this one, Venerable Firefly of the Demon Race. This top-tier cosmic overlord possesses a self-created peak-level secret technique of the cosmic master, ranking among the top cosmic overlords of the Demon Race in strength. Moreover, he wields a top-tier treasure weapon. If he were to be killed, the loss to the Demon Race would be immense."

"And those two top-tier cosmic overlord queens of the Zerg, if you really have the ability to kill them, the losses to the Zerg will be beyond imagination."

Listening to the analysis of the Venerable Ancestral Tree, Li Che felt that this veteran top-tier cosmic overlord was indeed a senior figure, and his analysis of the problem was very thorough.

If a top-tier cosmic overlord, the Zerg Queen, were to be killed, it would mean that all her soul slaves would die instantly, and many Zerg warriors would also suffer heavy losses. The massive resources accumulated over billions of years, even more precious than the most valuable treasures, would be lost.

Of course, Venerable Ancestral Tree was just giving an example; he did not believe that a newly emerging top cosmic overlord like Li Che possessed the strength to kill such a powerful alien race.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Che had memorized the names of all those powerful alien overlords.

"Furthermore, our hunting targets are not limited to the top cosmic overlords of the other three major races. The universe is vast, and there are quite a few powerful forces that can be called enemies of humanity. If you have the ability, you can also hunt down the top cosmic overlords of the Crystal Race, the Prison Race, and other races."

The Venerable Zushu continued to remind him.

The Crystal Clan and the Prison Clan are the other two of the six peak clans in this cycle of the primordial universe. However, they did not join the core battlefield of the four peak clans, but instead fought each other in a relatively remote part of the starry sky.

Within this primeval universe, although these two large tribes and humans usually kept to themselves, they were hostile to each other.

This is competition between fertile populations, and it doesn't need any reason at all.

Even if Li Che kills several top cosmic overlords of the Crystal Clan and the Prison Clan, it is virtually impossible to trigger a large-scale war between the Prison Clan and the Crystal Clan against humanity.

Simply put, the Crystal Clan and the Prison Clan are the weakest and most marginalized among the six top clans, and they are unwilling to join the chaotic battle between the four core top clans.

"I understand." Li Che stood up and expressed his gratitude for the reminder from Venerable Zushu.

The experience of this top human race's cosmic overlord is indeed of great value to him at this stage.

"The race and the Hong Alliance are working hard to gather information on those top alien universe overlords. We believe they will soon be able to compile more detailed information, at which point you can naturally choose your opponents."

Venerable Zushu also stood up and smiled.

With the existence of the virtual universe, the human race possesses a highly efficient information gathering capability. When this enormous machine is running at full speed, information about the alien universe overlords can even be updated in real time.

The Venerable Ancestor Tree gave Li Che a deep look. This Venerable Guixu also had a giant clone with a diameter of more than 200,000 kilometers. He was not worried about Li Che's demise.

"If Your Excellency is interested, you are welcome to join me. You haven't made a move in many, many years, have you? Would you like to go out and have some fun?"

Li Che thought of the three top cosmic overlords of the human race. These three are currently living in seclusion and have not made a move for many, many epochs. Only legends about them circulate among the various races.

"No, for us now, there is nothing more important than breaking through to become the Lord of the Universe, 97."

The Venerable Zushu shook his head and refused without hesitation.

For him, the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, and the Lord of the Star Prison, this is already the limit that the level of a Universe Venerable can reach.

Unless one breaks through to the level of the Lord of the Universe and overcomes genetic limitations, it will be difficult to achieve further breakthroughs in genetic level, secret technique level, divine body, treasures, etc.

That's a pity.

Li Che smiled, but did not extend any further invitation. Instead, he politely escorted the Venerable Ancestral Tree away from his virtual manor.

Then, he teleported away from his divine kingdom and returned to the human realm.

The Hong Alliance and its clans haven't fully compiled the information on the top cosmic overlords of those alien races yet, so he still has some time to relax within the human territory.
