Swallowing the Stars: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 165 Fame

Even Li Che himself did not expect that his act of killing the top cosmic overlord, the Lord of Yuhua Star, would cause a small disturbance within the Zerg territory.

Due to the race's inherently superior soul talent, this elite race had a long-standing tradition of employing soul slaves for various tasks.

After all, the number of Zerg Queens and Zerg warriors with their own will is too small. Soul slaves are not only absolutely loyal but also selfless and diligent, making them the best candidates to play the role of tools.

For example, certain cosmic-level soul master slaves could infiltrate demon and human races to enslave powerful individuals in alien territories and establish underground intelligence networks; or immortal slaves could be used as expendable resources to enter alien territories and assassinate the peerless geniuses of those races.

Within the Zerg, many tasks such as crafting artifacts, guarding secret realms in the universe, manufacturing spaceships, and producing auxiliary equipment are done by soul slaves.

As the oldest and most powerful top-tier cosmic overlord under the Zerg universe lord, many immortal and even cosmic venerable level soul slaves under the command of the Rain Flower Star Lord have long held important positions within the Zerg.

With the death of the Rain Flower Star Lord, all the soul slaves under her command died, the soul slaves of the soul slaves died together, and even the lower-ranking soul slaves died, enough to paralyze certain important tasks for a short period of time.

For example, in the region where the Mother Ancestral Universe Kingdom of Humanity is located, at least a hundred rulers of intermediate civilizations, wild immortal gods, and even more realm lords, domain lords, and cosmic-level powerhouses suddenly died.

In an instant, loved ones grieved while enemies rejoiced. Although the powerful figures in those regions did not know the reason for such a dramatic change, they still initiated a shift in the power structure.

Only the powerful within the Zerg knew that those who died represented a significant reduction in the membership of an underground Zerg force that radiated to dozens of advanced civilizations in the surrounding universe. The reason was that one of the Venerables in charge of that region was a soul slave of the Rain Flower Star Lord.

In another region of the Demon Clan's Reincarnation Serpent Tribe, a group of immortal gods suddenly died... Of course, this small disturbance was nothing to the vast Zerg Clan. The Zerg Universe Venerables took action one by one and quickly stabilized the situation.

Meanwhile, outside the primordial universe, within a smaller universe belonging to the Supreme Queen of the Great Zerg, a Zerg Queen of the Universe, the Lord of the Nether Lotus, descended here through a cosmic passage.

The beautiful and graceful ruler of the universe, who was as light and beautiful as a young girl, had just arrived in the Empress Universe when she saw a flash of divine power around her, and a voluptuous and alluring figure appeared before her.

"The Empress!"

Upon seeing the alluring figure, the Lord of the Nether Lotus immediately bowed respectfully, showing her reverence to the only supreme and strongest being in the universe among their insectoid race.

"Minglian, what happened?"

The Zerg Queen stretched out her body as if no one else was there. Her figure conformed to every detail of human beauty. Her naked body was soft and boneless, with a faint blush flowing over it. Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice contained infinite mysteries from the soul.

This is a soul master at the level of the strongest in the universe, on par with the strongest lone wolf, the True Demon God, possessing unparalleled and exquisite soul techniques.

"The Lord of Rain Flower Star has fallen," the Lord of the Nether Lotus said succinctly.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the Zerg Queen's alluring figure paused slightly, her full and supple body trembling gently. Her beautiful form even caused the Lord of the Nether Lotus to momentarily lose his composure. "Which cosmic lord is targeting her? Or is Little Sister Rainflower facing off against some heaven-defying special life form?"

Those within the Zerg know best what's going on in their own race; the Zerg's own powerful members are well aware of how difficult it is to kill their top cosmic overlords.

"The Empress is the fourth top cosmic overlord of the human race, the Venerable Guixu. She is an unparalleled genius who rose to prominence several decades ago. She is suspected of having heaven-defying opportunities, and her genetic level is already comparable to the strongest World Tree," the Lord of the Nether Lotus said honestly.

If the Lord of Rain Flower Star hadn't personally explained Li Che's situation, the Lord of the Dark Lotus wouldn't have believed that an unknown minor Venerable among the human race was actually a top-tier cosmic overlord with a life-defying level.

"Has he already reached the first-tier combat power? Reaching this stage at the Venerable level is indeed an extraordinary opportunity. Is he not a newly promoted Universe Lord, or a newly promoted formal God General?"

Upon hearing this, the Zerg Queen's usually easygoing expression became slightly more serious, but she didn't lose her composure too much.

As the strongest being in this ancient universe, she has seen far too much, even witnessing the rise of the original human ancestors, and possesses an extremely strong capacity for acceptance.

"The Lord of the Deer Grove of the Alliance personally went to investigate and found that the other party did not possess the means to control space and time, nor did their divine body bear the aura of a general from the Ancestral God Sect."

The Lord of the Nether Lotus quickly replied, "This time, I'm afraid it will require Your Majesty to return personally to resurrect the Lord of Rain Flower Star."

To resurrect a top cosmic overlord would require enduring immense backlash; only the strongest being in the universe could accomplish it.

In a race like the Zerg, where there are fewer than ten rulers of their own universe, those two top-tier cosmic overlords are precious treasures, worthy of the Zerg Queen's personal visit.

"Yes, but my true form is currently adventuring in the cosmic sea, so I'll have to trouble you to wait a while longer, little sister Yuhua," the Zerg Queen's voice was soft and gentle, without the slightest ripple. "In addition, I think you can try to kill Venerable Guixu once. Some heaven-defying inheritances are very special. If a strong person dies, even if they are resurrected, that person will naturally lose their qualification."

"Understood, Your Majesty, I will personally take charge of this matter!" The Lord of the Nether Lotus said, and her body once again disappeared into the cosmic passage.

"The Venerable Guixu... could never become the second progenitor of humanity."

Watching the illusory figure of the Lord of the Nether Lotus disappear, the Zerg Queen remained silent for a moment before smiling nonchalantly, and then this divine power avatar vanished instantly.

The news of the fall of a top cosmic overlord spread extremely quickly within the Zerg Alliance. Within just a few hours of the fall of the Rainflower Star Lord, it was known to almost all the cosmic venerables in the entire racial alliance.

At the same time, the name of the newly crowned top cosmic overlord, Venerable Guixu, was also deeply imprinted in the hearts of many cosmic venerables.

After all, killing the Zerg Queen, a top-tier cosmic overlord, and escaping from the clutches of a great cosmic ruler is an achievement that is simply too dazzling.

The Zerg forces located in human territory vigorously gathered intelligence, checking background information from various angles, and confirmed that Venerable Guixu was a young powerhouse who had not even lived for a hundred epochs.

In an instant, all the cosmic overlords and top cosmic overlords of the Zerg Alliance unanimously chose to return to their respective territories.

These guys know very well that the top cosmic overlords of such elite groups often have a period of activity, both to proclaim their fame to the entire universe and to accumulate wealth.

None of the powerful members of this Zerg alliance were willing to contribute to the accumulation of wealth by Venerable Guixu.

.....

As they expected, the Lord of Rain Flower Star was not the final target of Venerable Guixu. Less than two years after the Lord of Rain Flower Star's fall, that top cosmic overlord of the human race once again achieved a new record.
