Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 194 Merging

Joining Hongmeng is actually just a simple process.

The real review had already been passed when the 108 cosmic venerables learned that Luo Shen was the Blade King. His strength and battle record met the standards, and the remaining procedures only required Luo Shen to nod his head.

As for refusing.

That's impossible.

It should be understood that all the super-strong individuals of the entire human race are in the Hong Alliance. Apart from the Supreme Conference of the human race, which can only be attended by super beings at the level of Cosmic Venerables and above, the Hong Alliance is essentially the core collection of the entire human race and even its subordinate races.

Regardless of whether he intends to associate with the stronger figures among them, Luo Shen must secure one of the spots.

Otherwise, when he talks to other kings in the future, he'll say that this one is from the Hong Alliance and that one is from the Hong Alliance, while the dignified disciple of the Chaos City Lord hasn't even joined the Hong Alliance. If word gets out, people will probably laugh him to death.

"I do!"

Luo Shen just agreed.

Suddenly, a dazzling star condensed in mid-air. The star gradually shrank in mid-air and then turned into a stream of light, flying straight towards Luo Shen.

Luo Sheng was about to raise his hand to stop him.

The streak of light flashed in mid-air at an incredibly fast speed. Before Luo Shen could even react, it was already imprinted on his right arm guard, revealing a small star.

Swish!

As the stars appeared, a hazy humanoid halo floated in mid-air, and an unparalleled pressure suddenly spread from around the humanoid halo. Even Venerable Yezheng lowered his noble head under this pressure.

The humanoid halo looked at Luo Shen, and a smile appeared on its blurry face.

Although their faces were not clearly visible, everyone present clearly "perceived" the smile, as if it were emanating from the heart.

"Um?"

Luo Shen glanced at the humanoid halo with a strange look.

Logically speaking, apart from the Chaos City Lord and the newly-breakthrough Heavenly Eclipse Palace Lord, he had never seen any other Universe Lords. The pressure of the person in front of him was clearly on the same level as the Chaos City Lord, so he should undoubtedly be a Universe Lord. But why did he show such a smile when he saw him?

In the Virtual Universe Company's universe master, the cold and expressionless Ice Peak Master is definitely not going to be.

The Lord of Darkness usually fights in the Cosmic Sea, so he probably wouldn't hold a management position in the Hong Alliance. The remaining Lord of Youhou is too young and lacks the qualifications, so it's unlikely he'll take on that role either. That leaves the Lord of Dragon Journey and the Lord of Chaos City.

Could it be that this humanoid halo is actually the Chaos City Lord in disguise?

But the humanoid halo didn't say anything more.

They first welcomed Luo Shen to the Hongmeng Alliance, then explained the alliance's purpose and mission, before gradually dissipating.

However, Luo Shen still consulted Venerable Yezheng.

Unfortunately, Venerable Yezheng also stated that he was unaware of the existence of this humanoid halo, because every powerful king who joins the Hong Alliance will have this humanoid halo appear. As for the 'smile' mentioned by Luo Shen, Venerable Yezheng did not answer.

After all, although the Venerable One was already a high-ranking member of the human race, he only barely qualified to participate in the supreme council of the human race.

Those who truly control the fate of humanity are still the supreme rulers of the universe!

Luo Shen could only suppress his doubts.

Now that we've joined the Hongmeng Alliance, we should naturally invite all the Kings and Venerable Yezheng who came to express their goodwill to join us for a banquet. After all, everyone here holds a high position in the Virtual Universe Company, and we might need to deal with them sometime in the future.

Moreover, since they had already expressed their goodwill, Luo Shen naturally couldn't remain silent.

Naturally, no one present would refuse Luo Shen's invitation.

Especially Tianyu Wang, who came to discuss matters with Luo Shen. However, they had almost no prior interaction, and he feared that Luo Shen would refuse his request outright if he made it rashly. He hoped to use this banquet to bring them closer.

During the banquet, Tianyu Wang frequently tried to curry favor with Luo Shen.

Although Luo Shen no longer cared much about a peerless king, the other party still had some connections with Luo Feng's teacher, Zhenyan Wang. If things really came down to it, he could be considered half an ally, so Luo Shen naturally gave him some face.

After the guests and hosts had enjoyed themselves and all the other powerful figures had left, King Tianyu began to express his request to Luo Shen.

"What? You want to lead the Celestial Feather Clan to merge into the Milky Way?"

Luo Shen was genuinely stunned.

It's important to understand that because Luo Shen rose to prominence so quickly, and because Luo Shen had already displayed the brilliance of the number one genius among humankind when Hong's deeds were exposed, the course of Earth's development differed from the original story. At the very least, the Virtual Universe Company had no say in the management of Earth.

The entire Earth is still completely under the control of Earthlings.

Moreover, as the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Luo Shen has shown outstanding performance. After cultivating for hundreds of years, he has successively passed through the Universe-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain and the Domain Lord-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain, and even passed through the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge. He has the right to reside permanently in Chaos City, and it is only a matter of time before he passes through the Realm Lord-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain.

Human beings have always been happy to show their greatest tolerance towards such geniuses.

However, the Earth's role is clear to all the super-powerful beings. If it weren't for the Chaos City Lord's intervention, many with ulterior motives would probably still be planning to take action against the Earth.

The Earth is currently being sustained entirely by Luo Shen alone.

If something were to happen to him, the helmsman, the entire Earth would be like the Titanic, instantly crashing into an iceberg and capsizing. Hungry wolves would swarm in and devour the entire planet.

Under these circumstances, King Tianyu's proposal to merge the Tianyu clan into the Milky Way is undoubtedly like playing with fire.

King Tianyu smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I know the current situation of Earth, but because I have not been able to break through, the status of my Tianyu clan among the Feathered People has been getting lower and lower. In the last million years, we haven't even had a single spot to enter the Hong Alliance. I can only find another way out for the Tianyu clan."

The Feathered People are a major branch of the human race, ranking alongside races such as the Ape-Men and the Snake-Men.

The Tianyu clan is another branch of the Yuren clan.

The rise of the Tianyu clan is relatively recent, and its situation is somewhat similar to that of Earth today. It is mainly supported by the Tianyu King. The reason why the Tianyu King, as an invincible king, has been stationed at Demon Mountain is for the sake of the Tianyu clan behind him.

Otherwise, he could have simply followed the example of the True King and gone straight into Chaos City.

I don't care what kind of venerable company you are.

Out of sight, out of mind!

"Earth's situation is not much better than that of the Celestial Feather Clan," Luo Shen said meaningfully.

Tianyu Wang naturally understood Luo Shen's meaning.

"I have long heard of the importance of Earth, so my Tianyu clan dares not aspire to a place on Earth. We only wish to leave behind a planet in the Milky Way where life can thrive," King Tianyu assured. "I, King Tianyu, promise that as long as I live, the Tianyu clan will be the strongest support for humanity on Earth!"

"If the situation changes, my Celestial Feather Clan will defend the safety of Earth to the death!"

There are as many as 21 habitable planets in the Milky Way. Even if some of them were given to the Celestial Feather Clan, there would still be enough habitable planets for humans on Earth to live on.

Moreover, the surrounding star systems are all occupied by Luo Feng and his group.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Shen asked, "What are your requirements?"

As a major branch of the Feathered People, the Tianyu Clan, although entirely supported by the Tianyu King, has accumulated a considerable number of immortal gods over countless years, far surpassing the current state of Earth, which has yet to produce its own immortal god.

Although Earth has a significant transformative effect on infants who are still in the early stages of embryonic development, their future mental cultivation will be significantly superior to that of other races.

However, having an excellent mindset does not necessarily mean one can become a super strong person.

Super geniuses like Luo Shen and Luo Feng are rare beings that appear only once every few years. They are unique and irreplaceable examples. If the Heavenly Feather King believes that the baby conceived on Earth can rise to prominence like Luo Shen and help their Heavenly Feather Clan escape their current predicament, then this is a great opportunity.

That would be a mistake.

The Heavenly Feather King has existed for hundreds of millions of years, and his strength has long since reached the level of an invincible king. He has experienced countless things.

Luo Shen asked a simple question.

But he had already discerned the unspoken meaning in Luo Shen's words. He saw Tianyu King shake his head and say, "We only ask for a safe place to settle down. If Earth is willing to reserve some places for our clan so that our Tianyu people can be nurtured on Earth, that would be excellent."

Luo Shen chuckled.

They're all ancient foxes, why are they talking about Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?

Since Tianyu Wang chose to pledge allegiance to Luo Shen, besides valuing Luo Shen's status as a direct disciple of the Chaos City Lord, wasn't it also because he valued the importance of Earth to the future of a race?

to be frank.

Luo Shen didn't care about the grudges and entanglements between the Tianyu Clan and the Yuren Clan.

If the Tianyu clan really intends to become a branch of the Earth lineage, Luo Shen wouldn't necessarily find it unacceptable. Although the Earth's role is significant, its effects are not immediately apparent, and it only targets the mother's unborn child in the early stages of embryonic development.

But all of this is on the condition that King Tianyu and the entire Tianyu clan must obey him!

Upon seeing Luo Shen's smile, Tianyu Wang immediately realized that the current Luo Shen was not the same Luo Shen who had just joined the Virtual Universe Company. When he became the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Luo Shen didn't have much to offer.

But over the past few centuries, Luo Shen has successively crossed two Tongtian Mountains and distinguished himself on the battlefields outside the region.

Luo Shen's status in the eyes of the company's senior executives has skyrocketed. Even the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, who has just stepped into the realm of the Lord of the Universe, publicly supported Luo Shen. He, the Heavenly Feather King, is just an invincible king who has not broken through for countless years. How can he compare to Luo Shen's esteemed status?

In the past, Tianyu King would have simply turned around and left.

After all, he was an invincible king, and even if he hadn't been able to break through, he was still an important member of the company.

He could be willful, but the Tianyu clan could not. For the sake of the Tianyu clan's future, the Tianyu King could only solemnly declare: "From this day forward, my Tianyu clan will be merged into the Earth lineage, becoming a branch of Earth, and will follow the orders of the Lord of the Galaxy!"

If it were Luo Feng, or Hong, or other young guys who are still growing, Tianyu King would never have made such a statement.

However, Luo Shen is already a genius who has grown up. Although his path to becoming a strongman is still very long, he is no longer someone who can be manipulated at will. Showing weakness to Luo Shen will at least make Tianyu King feel more at ease.

The news that King Tianyu led the Tianyu clan to merge with Earth caused a huge uproar throughout the Hong Alliance.

Although Tianyu King has been silent for many years, and many new generation powerhouses have forgotten how terrifying he was, this does not mean that Tianyu King is no longer terrifying. The passage of time will only make his sharpness less sharp, waiting for the next more brilliant display.

Moreover, the Earth that Tianyu Wang merged into was the Earth of Luo Shen, a leading figure of the younger generation.

This further prompts the reader to make further inferences.

The conflict between the Feathered People and the Sky Feathered People is not exactly hidden. Anyone who pays attention can find out the truth of the matter. Regarding the Sky Feathered King's choice, some people are pessimistic and some people praise it, but in any case, the matter of the Sky Feathered People being incorporated into Earth has been settled.

The Feathered People are considered one of the more powerful branches of humanity, having produced two super beings at the level of Cosmic Venerables.

They are the 'Silver Feather Venerable' and the 'Golden Feather Divine General'!

The former was a young Venerable who had just broken through hundreds of millions of years ago. His strength was comparable to that of the Nine Swords Venerable, but he was far inferior to veteran Venerables such as the Qianwu Kingdom Lord. The latter, on the other hand, had quite a reputation among the human race.

As one of the few human beings to inherit the complete divine general lineage of the Ancestral God Sect, the Golden Feather Divine General's strength is comparable to that of a cosmic overlord!

However, the Golden Feather God General has always been without desires and has always stayed in the Ancestral God Sect to cultivate diligently. Usually, the affairs of the Feathered People are handled by the Silver Feather Venerable. It was precisely because of this that the separation between the Heavenly Feather Clan and the Feathered People Clan was eventually brought about.

When they learned that the Heavenly Feather King had led the Heavenly Feather Clan to merge with Earth.

The territory of the Feathered People.

"Damn it!"

"How dare he? How dare he, the Heavenly Feather King, do this? He has dragged the entire Feathered Race into the laughingstock of others! Doesn't he, the Heavenly Feather King, know that doing this will make him a sinner against the entire Feathered Race?!"

"Go and find Na Luoshen. The Tianyu clan must not be separated from the Yuren clan under any circumstances."

The Silver Feather Venerable was furious, and several immortal gods of the Feathered Race knelt before him, not daring to reveal the slightest thought.

Why would King Tianyu and his clan prefer to become a branch of a small Earth rather than remain with the Feathered People? It was all thanks to Venerable Silver Feather. Otherwise, with King Tianyu's strength and status, how could he have been forced to leave?

Furthermore, what is Luo Shen's status, and what is the status of Venerable Silver Feather?

Do you really think Luo Shen is the same as the Heavenly Feather King who can be manipulated at will? Not to mention the Chaos City Lord, Luo Shen's fellow disciples alone are enough to give Venerable Silver Feather a hard time.

After losing his temper, Venerable Silver Feather finally calmed down.

He is not a fool.

The things I said earlier were just a moment of anger.

"Luo Shen is merely a minor realm lord, yet he dares to disregard my Feathered Human Clan. Does he truly believe that with the Chaos City Lord backing him, he can ignore everything?"

Speaking of this, Venerable Silver Feather thought of the Heavenly Feather King who had shown him no mercy back then.

"Both of them are equally arrogant and conceited!"

Just as Venerable Silver Feather was trying to find a breakthrough in this matter and bring the Heavenly Feather Clan back under the Feathered Human Clan, a tall figure strode in from outside the temple and said, "Silver Feather, this matter ends here!"
