Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Selfish and greedy, a clown who jumps around like a clown.

This is Jiang Chen's opinion of these people.

During the Devouring Apocalypse War, Luo Feng planned to select some powerful individuals to fight against the Devouring Beasts in order to activate his secret technique, "Six-Pointed Star."

A total of 62 members of parliament expressed their willingness to go, but this did not include Atkin, the fifth speaker of the Ares Palace, nor Yan Hai.

That's fine, after all, not everyone is a hero. If you just want to survive in this world, that's all you can do. It doesn't count as being a great villain.

However, what happened later made it impossible for them to clear their name.

In the original story, after the battle with the Devouring Beast, the world's top experts perished, the War God Palace closed, and the group was leaderless.

And Atkinson, the former Fifth Speaker, has become the strongest person today.

Atkin and Yan Hai were originally councilors worshipped by the HR Alliance, after the fall of the strongest member of the HR Alliance, East.

Atkin and Yan Hai joined forces and led a group of congressmen to quickly take control of the HR Alliance using strong-arm tactics such as threats and coercion.

Atkin and Yan Hai also befriended Sago Nehru, a genius in psychic abilities who joined them after becoming a planetary-level psychic.

This force was led by Atkin, Yan Hai, and Nehru. Under their command were several planetary-level first-tier and even second-tier councilor warriors.

After Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were gone, this became the most powerful force.

They quickly took control of the entire HR Alliance and infiltrated the Thunder Martial Arts School. With their ruthless methods, they killed people and stole treasures. This force was simply unstoppable.

Afterwards, although no one dared to openly bully the families of the eight heroes, the families of the heroes did not have an easy time either.

Mohanderson's family suffered an even worse fate; one of them died, and the official explanation was that it was a car accident.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

These bastards didn't contribute during the war, but after the heroes died, they all jumped out to fight for power and even threatened the heroes' relatives.

They absolutely deserve to die!

"However, now is not the time. Let them go for now, and wait until we have collected enough evidence before killing this group of bad apples." Jiang Chen thought to himself, took a step forward, and stared fearlessly at the righteous Atkin.

"Atkin, speaking of which, since becoming a being beyond the God of War, I haven't had any particularly noteworthy achievements yet, so I'd like to challenge you," Jiang Chen said calmly. "How about we meet on the open sea near the Jiangnan Base City?"

"A challenge?" Atkin's eyes widened.

The warriors and councilors below were stunned.

This meeting was truly spectacular, featuring not only the legendary secrets of ancient civilizations but also battles between councilors challenging the speaker.

"Brother Hong, this kid is interesting. He dares to challenge a third-level planetary martial artist with only a first-level planetary mentalist." Thor said in surprise, stroking his bald head.

"Not only have we had some amazing encounters, but Jiang Chen has also had quite a few," Hong smiled and nodded.

"This..." Atkin was naturally not afraid of being challenged by a first-order planetary being. As the fifth councilor, he had his own confidence.

"Why wouldn't you dare?" Jiang Chen sneered. "If you don't dare, then just resign from your seat as the Fifth Speaker and get out!"

"Insolence!" Atkin was furious. He usually considered himself to be very low-key, how dare a mere first-tier planetary being tell him to get lost?

"Alright, so you agree?" Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.

"I agree. Tell me, the time is up to you!" Atkin said angrily.

"Alright, one week from now, on the sea outside the Huangpu River war base," Jiang Chen said with a smile. "If you don't come, you lose."

After saying that, Jiang Chen looked at Hong and said, "I hope the museum owner can be a witness."

"No problem." Hong nodded slightly.

Not only Hong, but probably many people will go to watch this battle.

"Next, I will send these secret techniques to the War God Palace. Everyone can only learn these secret techniques within the War God Palace and must never pass them on to others," Jiang Chen said.

Learning this secret technique at the War God Palace is better than learning it outside.

Hong nodded; it suited his taste perfectly.

A moment later, the War God Palace meeting ended, and only the twenty people selected by Jiang Chen remained in the conference hall on the top floor.

Hong's expression suddenly changed as he heard a message from his AI: a special message had been transmitted.

He knew it was a basic message from Jiang Chen, and immediately began to accept it as instructed.

……

The conference hall on the top floor of the Ares Palace.

Everyone looked at the secret manuals in front of them. The councilors received the most, while the war gods only received the secret techniques for breakthroughs for the time being.

For example, the basic secret technique that Jiang Chen obtained, which trapped them in the crystal room, could help them improve rapidly and approach their breakthrough limits.

And later, there were similar miraculous breakthrough techniques like the Nine-Nine Forging God.

The war gods have two secret manuals, while the councilors have five.

"Wow, that's amazing! So that's how you break through!"

"Okay, okay, what I learned before can't compare to this at all. This is just the basics?"

"Haha, I also have a chance to break through and become an existence that surpasses the God of War."

The war gods were overjoyed, holding their secret manuals with delight and reading them with great eagerness.

Hong and Lei Shen seemed to be possessed, staring intently at the five books on their wrists, carefully reading the martial arts cultivation secrets of the Meteorite Star lineage that Jiang Chen had just sent them.

"Heavens, so that's how it exerts its power," Thor muttered. "Wrong, my 'Ninefold Thunder Blade' is far inferior to it."

"So that's how it can be done!" Hong's eyes lit up as he engrossed in reading the manual.

Jiang Chen smiled as he looked at them, and reminded them again, "The most important thing in cultivation is the foundation."

"If your foundation isn't solid, you might improve quickly, but you'll never break through to the next level in your entire life!"

"You also need to practice basic skills regularly."

Thor waved his hand dramatically, "I know, I know. We've been practicing martial arts since we were kids, and we've come through the Great Nirvana period. How could we not understand?"

"Jiang Chen, thank you very much," Hong said, his eyes sincere.

Seeing their reaction, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "You should not only thank me, but also Luo Feng."

"These basic secret techniques were also contributed by Luo Feng."

Luo Feng walked over with a smile and respectfully greeted, "Master, Second Speaker."

"Luo Feng?" Hong looked at him in surprise and exclaimed, "Sure enough, the two of you improved so quickly because you really did have a special opportunity."

Hong and Thor exchanged a glance, then nodded to each other.

"You two come with me," Hong said, and a partition appeared in front of them.

Thor went in first.

Jiang Chen and Luo Feng also went forward and entered the compartment.

"Luo Feng, Jiang Chen," Thor said solemnly, "Hong Du and I have received some knowledge from the ruins of ancient civilizations, and we know a lot about the universe."

"In the vast universe, there are countless powerful nations, and our Milky Way galaxy is just a part of the Silver Blue Empire."

"Moreover, for an unclaimed planet like ours, being discovered would be a nightmare."

Hong nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, if we're lucky, our Earth will become the territory of a powerful being. But more likely, our home planet Earth will be sold off directly."

"We Earthlings have become slaves to others."

Jiang Chen and Luo Feng nodded. They had both received the inheritance and knew the vastness of the universe and the darkness within it.

Thor nodded: "All we can do is become stronger to protect our home!"

Jiang Chen knew more; what was happening on Earth was just a small-scale skirmish, while the battles in the universe were far more intense.

"So, Jiang Chen, Luo Feng, you'll be cultivating with us from now on."

"On Earth, when it comes to martial arts talent, it's just me and Brother Hong. As for psychic talent, it's naturally the two of you." Thor looked at them. "The four of us are the strongest on Earth, so of course we need to be even more united."

Jiang Chen and Luo Feng looked at each other and laughed. Now they were the four strongest people in the world.

"From now on, don't call me Master anymore," Hong said with a smile. "If you don't mind, just call me Big Brother, or Brother Hong."

Thor laughed too, "From now on, you'll be the third and fourth sons."

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.

According to age, Jiang Chen and Luo Feng are the same age, but Jiang Chen is a few months older, making him the third oldest.

Luo Feng is the youngest, the fourth oldest.

Hong and Thor, being the oldest, seemed to be very pleased to see two talented younger generations rising up.

Hong and Lei Shen have witnessed Jiang Chen and Luo Feng's progress over the years, and today, with the sharing of these secret techniques, they have finally gained their recognition.

The four looked at each other, appreciating each other's understanding, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Geniuses often have many friends who are also geniuses, because they can share a common language and progress together.

The gap between ordinary martial artists and them will widen over time.
