Transcript

00:00The Bug Race, the Demon Race, the Automaton Race and their partners had built something loose by

00:05comparison. Six powers stitched together, still six separate wills underneath. The Freedom Alliance

00:11was built differently from the start, consolidated, meant to last forever. Closer in shape to the

00:18Northern Territory Alliance but built on a far larger scale, with a unity that came from actually

00:23intending to stay together. Golden waves rolled across the sky, sweeping past stars and planets,

00:30that looked like scattered grains of sand, each one carefully protected. An island sat inside those

00:35waves, its thrones arranged in a ring, flesh and blood beings. Energy types, metal, rock, plant,

00:43every kind of powerful life form represented at once. Everyone! A towering purple figure spoke from

00:49a purple throne, his voice reaching every inch of the space around him. From now on, the Freedom

00:55Alliance rises in the original universe. Freedom Alliance! For survival. For freedom.

01:01Before Shriwa Island leader spoke again, the doubts already in the room spilled out on their own.

01:07Every race here was an idle one. The strongest fielded six universe masters at most.

01:13Most had only one. Weak against either of the two real powers. Join the United Forces. And they'd be

01:20fighting with their lives on the line for almost nothing. Join the humans, and the United Forces

01:25might come for them in revenge later. We're a race too, someone said. Part of this universe too.

01:31Why can't we just live in peace, neutral, and be left alone? Nobody wants to live like this.

01:37Shriwa Island. Leader looked around at the nodding faces. The dilemma was written on every one of them.

01:43Even as a universe supreme master, I can't change the outcome of a war between two giants alone.

01:48That bothers me too, he said. Why do any of us fight in this universe at all? To get what

01:54we want.

01:54To guard what matters to us. To advance. To protect what we love. But none of that means anything if

02:00we can't even choose for ourselves first. That's why the Freedom Alliance exists. His eyes gleamed as he

02:06kept going. Every universe master who couldn't be here sent an avatar instead. 298 races. 433 universe

02:15masters. United like this, neither the humans nor the United Forces Alliance can sway us. The humans

02:22have their mind-shock weapon, already exposed. Its weakness already known to everyone. Both sides have

02:28palace-type supreme true treasures. But twenty universe masters? Standing together can resist the

02:34swallowing pull of the Black Prison Tower, the Empress Tower, the Star Tower combined. The humans have

02:41fewer than twenty universe masters right now. Give them time. Maybe a hundred. Even with their ancient

02:46inheritance pushing hard. Maybe three hundred, eventually. We already have over four thousand.

02:52And growing. Standing together, nobody sways us. Not now, not later. This isn't a crisis for us.

02:58It's an opportunity to become stronger. His words landed on every universe master in that ring,

03:04like fuel on. Something already smoldering. They'd been too weak to act on any of this before.

03:10Now, surrounded by four hundred thrones and the shadows behind them, they felt it. Real power and

03:16more of it still coming. Over the following half-month, the last affections trickled in from both the human

03:22side and the United Forces side. Then stopped. The Freedom Alliance settled at two ninety-eight

03:28races, four thirty-three universe masters. Enough weight to put real pressure on both camps at once.

03:34On Bloodtooth Star in Demon Territory, six universe supreme masters. Minds gathered alongside the

03:40avatars of Star River Master, Black Lotus Master and Luland Star Master. Our six-power alliance is under

03:47four hundred universe masters now. Even counting who's come in, people keep leaving, one said.

03:52Count our universe supreme masters and we might just barely match the Freedom Alliance on paper.

03:59But we can't even trust our own. Vassal races completely. Some of them need to be held hostage

04:04in miniature. Universes just to keep them from betraying us mid-war. Our real strength is weaker

04:10than theirs. So what do we do? Agree to their terms. The terms had already been named.

04:16Equal sharing of the ancient. Civilization's inheritance. And two supreme true treasures

04:22handed over. And the moment the United Forces camp agreed, the Freedom Alliance would join them

04:27immediately. Two supreme true treasures. That's greed, plain and simple. This war helps them as

04:34much as it helps us. And they still want two treasures out of it. Of course they're asking for

04:38that much. It practically guarantees they'll end up joining the humans instead, under the same terms.

04:45Once they do, the humans win this outright. And the Freedom Alliance gets ancient inheritance

04:50knowledge on top of it. They're not negotiating in good faith. They're setting terms they expect us

04:55to refuse. They've probably given the humans identical terms. And they're waiting on that answer too.

05:01The Northern Territory Alliance, the Prison Race, the Crystal Race. None of them even have a supreme

05:08true treasure. Between the Demon Race, Bug Race, and Automaton Race, we have four total.

05:13And they want two of those? Let's not panic yet. Wait for the human answer first. If they say no,

05:20our own negotiation gets easier. The human side was wrestling with the same impossible math.

05:25I need to consult the rest of our Universe Masters. Primal Chaos City Leader told the Freedom

05:30Alliance's envoy. I'll respond as soon as I can. Then we'll wait for your answer. Once the envoy's

05:37presence had withdrawn from the Primal Secret Region, the Human Universe Masters gathered in the main

05:42Palace. Their terms are exactly what we expected, the city leader said. The experience of advancing

05:48from Universe Master to Universe Supreme Master, and beyond that, to limit Universe Supreme Master.

05:55Some of it up front if they join us. The rest after the war. That's the best case. The alternative

06:01is

06:01worse. We hand over just the Universe Master to Supreme Master experience simply to buy their

06:08neutrality. Otherwise, they go to the United Forces camp instead. Curses broke out around the room.

06:14Greedy. Bold. Why wouldn't they be bold? Someone snapped. With that many Universe Masters behind them?

06:22Nobody could argue with the leverage, even furious about it. I won't respond yet, the city leader said.

06:28Let's see if there's a third option first. Handing over that experience. Wasn't a neutral act,

06:33even a fraction of it, would make the freedom. Alliance stronger than it already was. And stronger

06:39wasn't something either camp could afford to hand them for free. There's no need to rush,

06:44the city leader said instead, looking around at the gathered masters. This is the moment. It's time

06:51you knew the final secret of the human race. The room went dead quiet. Chaos. What secret? We're

06:57already the strongest of our own race, someone finally said, disbelief plain on every face.

07:01Teacher Origin roamed Universe Ocean once, invincible, the city leader said. Then he chose a

07:08harder road on purpose. Waited until... Hugh Jacks became a Universe Supreme Master before he started

07:14down it. Before he left, he gave us something to guard the race with. Then he followed his own path

07:19to its end, until the mind of the original Universe finally suppressed him. Every eye in the room sharpened.

07:25I've been guarding the Primal Secret region this whole time. It's our last line of defense,

07:29the city leader said. Luo Feng. Darkness. Peng Gong. You've all been out fighting other races while...

07:36I stood guard here. Did you think I was standing here with nothing? It's time you saw exactly what

07:41I've been holding. He turned. Follow me. They exchanged one glance, then followed him without

07:47another word. Luo Feng and the others followed Primal Chaos city leader down the hallway, past a view of

07:54the boat of Mausoleum. Floating on Thousand Treasures River behind the palaces. Where exactly are we going,

08:00brother? Darkness Master asked. Even he didn't know about whatever guarding valuable Teacher Origin had

08:07supposedly left behind. On to the boat, the city leader said, glancing back. Even this deep in the

08:13Primal Secret region. There are Universe Masters from other races around. I don't want this information

08:19leaking. You'll all see it once we're aboard. Luo Feng's curiosity only grew. The boat of Mausoleum

08:25stretched a hundred billion kilometers long, floating on the river. It's genuinely exceptional,

08:31the city leader said. Unable to hide his admiration. It can't attack on its own. But it resists Universe

08:38Supreme Master attacks with ease. Something even Supreme True Treasures can't manage. As long as we have

08:44this boat, our race's last Universe portal stays safe. The others nodded. It made sense. Teacher

08:50Origin's eternal suppression meant the portals connecting the original Universe to the Primal

08:56Universe could only ever decrease. Broken ones couldn't be rebuilt. Even the Black Prison Tower and

09:03Star Tower could eventually be blasted clear of a portal they were guarding. The boat was simply more

09:08stable than either. In Universe Ocean, even Level 7 and Level 8, Universe Supreme Masters can't damage

09:15this boat, Luo Feng said, confident. Let alone anyone still confined to the original Universe.

09:22The portal itself sat protected. In a massive chamber deep inside the hundred-billion-kilometer hull,

09:29about as safe as anything could be, inside one of the boat's palaces, the human Universe Masters

09:35gathered, and the city leader finally smiled. I'll show you here. He stretched out his palm.

09:41An object appeared on it, radiating the unmistakable force of a true treasure, and everyone leaned in,

09:48bewildered. It looked almost decorative. A tiny artificial hill, a lake, a wooden house,

09:55all arranged together like a sculpture. The force coming off it was unremarkable. At most,

10:00a top-tier true treasure. Nothing close to the suppressing weight a supreme true treasure should

10:06carry. Teacher? Luo Feng said, uncertain. Others voiced the same doubt outright. This couldn't be the

10:14valuable meant to guard their entire race, could it? The city leader just smiled. You need to see it

10:20with godly power in it first. He poured his own power into it, and the object surged upward in size.

10:26A mountain ten thousand kilometers, tall rows in the palace. A wooden house, a hundred kilometers

10:32tall, standing on its slope. A lake a thousand kilometers across spread before it. He shrank his

10:38own body down to ten kilometers to match, and the others followed suit, walking the lakeshore toward

10:44the house behind him. What does it actually do? Pengong Master asked. I haven't triggered the engravings

10:50yet. Of course it looks inert. He stopped at the water's edge, and a second figure appeared beside

10:57him, barefoot, carrying a rough walking stick. Luo Feng startled at the sight of it.

11:03This valuable is complicated, the city leader explained. It takes both of my bodies working

11:08together, combining their godly power to actually drive it. The barefoot body walked to the mountain

11:14and merged into it on contact. The city leader himself stepped out onto the lake, walking to its

11:20center. The mountain began to tremble under waves of force, faint engravings flashing across the

11:25space around it as a green hue climbed from the peak into the sky above, spreading until it covered

11:32everything overhead. The lake and ground shuddered next, the engravings dissolving as they moved,

11:38and gray earth extended outward beneath them, until the green sky and gray land met exactly at the

11:45wooden house. The house itself began to glow, light pouring out to fill every inch of sky and land,

11:51the two colors weaving into each other and building into something that radiated raw,

11:56endless power. Beneath it, every universe master present could feel the scale of what they were

12:01standing inside. My teacher poured a great deal into building this, the city leader said.

12:07Standing on the water, somewhere far away in memory, 36,200 separate components make up the

12:13mountain. The lake, the land, the house. The materials are exquisite. The individual techniques

12:20simple. The complexity only comes from how they combine. Mountain, lake, and wooden house together

12:26form sky and land. Teacher called that the primal rule of how a universe operates. He named this

12:33valuable the palm universe, a simplified miniature universe. Within its range, it can unleash two

12:40simultaneous top-tier level six attacks, and it covers a full square light year. Everyone stood

12:46stunned. This went beyond what a domain-type Supreme True Treasure could normally do. An ordinary domain

12:52treasure could strike within its own domain. But a universe master using one couldn't push an attack to

12:58top-tier level six. Only a universe supreme master's own technique could reach that level. And even then,

13:05only once at a time, the city leader could do it twice at once, as if two separate universe supreme

13:10masters were striking simultaneously, and from anywhere inside the controlled range.

13:16It functions like a pocket miniature universe, he continued. Anyone caught inside it is effectively

13:23inside a universe I control. I can strike with a single thought. It can inflict real agony even on

13:29a universe supreme master, and hold them there long enough that they can't simply flee. Its ceiling is

13:35top-tier level six even out in universe ocean, which is why it matters most here, in the original

13:41universe. Teacher built it purely to guard our race. With this, even two or three universe supreme

13:47masters, attacking together would come away worse for it. He could only forge one top-tier true

13:52treasure on his own. But combined like this into one structure, it became something well beyond what

13:58any single treasure should be capable of. The others stood dazed. Better than a domain-type

14:04supreme true treasure, though still weaker than one out in universe ocean specifically, where its level

14:10six ceiling mattered less. Machine-type, Luofeng said suddenly, understanding landing. It's built the

14:17same way as my own. Shiwu wing, small components arranged into systems. Mine has a pair of white

14:23wings, five more pairs beyond that, and an origin point. This has the mountain, the lake, the house.

14:29Different pieces, same underlying logic, and it's even more complex than mine. The Palm universe was still,

14:35by civilization standards. A lower-tier machine-type. Construction. Nowhere near the level of the true

14:43origins craft. But where Shiwu wing's structure was simple, this was far more intricate, requiring two

14:50separate bodies working in tandem just to activate. Still simpler, at least, than the boat of mausoleum,

14:56or a true universe boat. What made it? Remarkable wasn't complexity for its own sake.

15:02It was ordinary in appearance and extraordinary in output, reaching all the way to top-tier level

15:08six. One is sky, one is land, and one is the heart connecting them, Peng Gong Master said slowly.

15:15Dark. Light. And the origin between them, Darkness Master added. Luofeng studied the miniature landscape

15:23along with everyone else. Machine-type or not, the technique woven into it carried genuine universe

15:30operation law. More advanced, in fact, than anything in his own miniature universe.

15:36Time and space combining. And a universe is born. He stared at the green sky. The grey land. The gold

15:44light threading between them. All of it built on that one principle, and felt something shift loose

15:49in his mind. He'd been stuck at the limit universe night level for a while now. Unable to force his

15:55way

15:55past it. Standing here, inspiration finally broke through. Luofeng looked up, and he smiled.

16:02The mountain, the lake, the wooden house, all of it hung suspended in the air. And with that trio as

16:09its center, everything within a light year's diameter fell under its control. A single thought,

16:14anywhere in that radius, could unleash an attack at top-tier level six. The gathered universe masters

16:20could barely process the scale of it. Impressive. Simply too impressive. Stronger than a supreme true

16:27treasure here in the primal universe. The only real cost is complexity. It takes both of primal,

16:34chaos city leaders. Bodies working together just to run it. A simplified miniature universe.

16:40How does anyone even build something like that? Only teacher Origen could. The man built an actual

16:46virtual universe once. Mastered the way a universe revolves down to a stupefying level of detail.

16:52Of course, something like the Palm universe would come out of a mind like that. Every universe master

16:58present stood shocked. Half intoxicated by what they were seeing. The pocket of space around the

17:04valuable fully sealed off from the world outside it. Luofeng. Someone said his name once, then again,

17:10uncertain. He'd been smiling a moment ago. Now his eyes were shut, and something strange,

17:16was radiating off him. Don't disturb him, darkness master snapped immediately,

17:21cutting off anyone about to step closer. Most of the human race didn't know Luofeng was still.

17:27Technically only a universe knight. Darkness master did, and he was starting to wonder if a breakthrough

17:33was about to happen right in front of them. Across the lake, primal chaos city leader had noticed the

17:39same thing, and felt his own pulse of anticipation. Is my disciple about to break through? The truth

17:46was Luofeng had been ready for a while. He could already build secret techniques at a universe supreme

17:51master level. His law comprehension had reached the very edge of its bottleneck. Ever since he'd

17:58comprehended the heart of the beast god, his avatar had spent years, cultivating inside the space of

18:04inheritance at 10,000 times. Normal time velocity. Everything he'd need for the breakthrough was

18:10already stockpiled. The only open question was timing. It could take a few more years out in the

18:15real world if things went slowly. Or it could happen at any moment if something finally clicked.

18:21A rush of emotion. A long look at a starlit sky. Even the pressure of a life-or-death fight.

18:27Nobody, including Luofeng, could have predicted exactly when. What made the Palm Universe the

18:32trigger, specifically, was proximity. He'd never been able to truly comprehend.

18:38Shu Wu Wing or the Boat of Mausoleum. Both sat too far beyond him. But the Palm Universe carried

18:45power at the ultimate limit of a universe supreme master. The same tier as the secret techniques he

18:50could already build himself. It was close enough to actually reach. One touch of it, and the bottleneck

18:56he'd been stuck against for so long simply dissolved. His eyes snapped open. Teacher.

19:03Primal chaos city leader looked over, and something passed silently between them.

19:09Understanding. And barely concealed excitement on the teacher's side. This disciple was already

19:15formidable without the breakthrough. Once it landed fully, he'd be an enormous asset in the war closing

19:20in on them. I need to step out for a moment, Luofeng said. Go. The city leader nodded and shut

19:28down the

19:28Palm Universe. At once to let him pass through, Luofeng vanished in a single teleport without another

19:34word. His god country stretched out, effectively inexhaustible. At its heart, the endless remote.

19:41Ocean churned with constant ripples. Waves rising three feet high, even with no wind at all,

19:47spread across a diameter of eighty billion kilometers. Between the ocean and the rest of

19:52his god country, even a universe supreme master forcing their way in would come away worse for

19:57it. That peace broke the instant. Luofeng crossed his bottleneck back inside the boat of mausoleum.

20:03The origin laws of the primal universe descended all at once. An oppressive weight settling over the

20:09entire god country, and the once calm remote ocean surged into violent motion. A figure rose out of the

20:16water in his remote ocean body, staring up at a sky now dominated by massive black and white

20:22whirlpools, spinning with power that seemed to have no bottom to it. Luofeng destroyed the old

20:28remote ocean body on the spot and grew a new one instantly. It was the fastest way back into his

20:34own god country. Breakthrough, he said, and teleported the new body out, beyond the ocean's edge to look up

20:40at what was happening. This kind of momentum, he murmured, is genuinely imposing. The whirlpool

20:48stretched tens of billions of kilometers across. Nothing. Like the five-colored spiral from his

20:55night-level breakthrough. This one alternated black and white in nested rings. A black whirlpool holding

21:01a white one, and inside that white one, another black one, round after round outward. It carried a

21:07formidable oppressive weight, and at its exact center sat a passageway, the direct link between the

21:13universe-law ocean and his god country. This is it, Luofeng said. The critical moment. The swallowing

21:21of godly power. The math behind it mattered. And he understood it well by now. The endless remote

21:27ocean was massive, which meant that under normal circumstances, growing his godly power at all would

21:33take a very long time. But size cut both ways. The bigger a godly body grew, the faster it could

21:40recover power. Fast enough that even a universe master, detonating themselves in an instant self-destruct,

21:47still couldn't out-consume the recovery. Speed of a remote ocean this size. Bigger volume meant

21:52faster recovery, without exception. And that was exactly why growth had always been slow at first.

21:58Doubling from 10 billion to 20 billion. Kilometers in diameter had taken a long time. Expanding from

22:0420 billion to 80 billion had gone faster, but still nowhere near the speed later growth would

22:11eventually reach. Further down that same curve, speed soared to something exponentially higher.

22:17That curve was how nine remoteness master had built the legendary nine remoteness ocean in the first

22:23place. Luofeng's own ocean was still nowhere close to that scale, on the verge of becoming a universe

22:29master at all, which made this moment worth everything he could put into it. The window is short,

22:34he told himself. Absorb as efficiently as possible. Water empowered by tremendous godly force,

22:41began pouring out of the whirlpool's passage. Torrential and fast, faster by far than during his night-level

22:48breakthrough. Like an ocean collapsing all at once. Inhale. Absorb. Take it all. Luofeng threw his full

22:56willpower into controlling the remote ocean, and the transformation began immediately. His godly power,

23:03previously 10,000 times a night's life gene baseline, surged a hundredfold higher, to 10,000 times a

23:10universe master's baseline. Universe master level finally reached. The rate of the poor and the rate of

23:16his absorption stayed, perfectly matched. The faster he pulled, the faster the passage gave.

23:23Transform, transform, transform, he kept repeating, and noticed his stronger willpower.

23:29Was paying real, dividends in how efficiently, the process ran. Even so, no matter how much the

23:35increase helped, it still wasn't quite enough to finish the job outright. Then just as suddenly it was

23:41over, the oppressive pressure lifted. Calm returned to the god country, and Luofeng was left with one

23:47last stretch of unhurried absorption. Eighty billion kilometers in diameter, he said, standing above the

23:54ocean's surface. And just now, roughly fifteen percent of that got transformed. He worked the number out

24:00precisely. Something. Past forty billion kilometers across the ocean's full span had converted. Fifteen

24:07percent, for an ocean this size, was a genuinely efficient result. When I broke through to Universe

24:13Night, the rate was twelve percent. A little higher this time. Lucky timing. Since my willpower crossed

24:20its own threshold at the same moment. Without that, this transformation would have come out a lot

24:25weaker. He let himself sink downward, his body dissolving into the ocean itself as he descended.

24:31And a new remote ocean body assembled itself soon after. A towering figure nearly ten thousand

24:37kilometers tall. Its godly power now a thousand times a universe master's baseline. Ten times stronger

24:44than Luofeng's own power back at night level. The ocean kept resonating quietly with the distant

24:50universe origin law, ocean, still pulling in power to keep transforming, though at a far slower pace

24:56than during the breakthrough itself. Three streaks of light shot out across his god country at once,

25:03resolving into his other bodies, his original earthling form, his golden-horned beast form, and his

25:10Moshe body, each one wrapped instantly, in power flooding up from the remote ocean below. The earthling and

25:17golden-horned beast, bodies surged a hundredfold to ten thousand times, a universe master's life

25:23gene level. The Moshe body climbed the same hundredfold multiplier but landed lower, at a hundred times

25:29that baseline. My Moshe body's godly power is about where my original body used to sit.

25:35Wapung noted. All four bodies now stood ready for war, full of fighting spirit. The earthling and

25:41golden-horned beast forms, wielding their pinnacle true treasures, could each unleash a burst of

25:46combat output all the way up to top-tier level six. The Moshe body, armed with the blood ghost blade,

25:52could reach that same ceiling. And the remote ocean body, beyond even that, carried more methods at

25:58its disposal than any of the other three. Two things left to handle, he murmured. All four bodies

26:04gathered at the public square before his godly palace. The golden-horned beast body simply sprawling

26:10out on the ground once it arrived. First the Moshe body, Luofeng said. Now that I'm a universe

26:16master, the hundred times ceiling that used to cap it is gone. I can push it to a thousand times

26:21life

26:22level, maybe all the way to ten thousand. I already have every material the upgrade. Needs. The Moshe

26:28body wasn't flesh and blood, so it could never train through the nine volume. Manual the way his other

26:34bodies could. Like any ordinary universe master's construct, it simply had to wait for him to reach.

26:40Universe master rank before its own. Ceiling could rise again. Second my god country itself.

26:45Reaching universe master should complete it further. He looked out over the vast territory

26:51that made up his domain. It was already shifting in response to the breakthrough. The area expanding

26:56was almost secondary. To what mattered more? Its underlying structure settling and stabilizing

27:02toward its true final form. Once this transformation finished completely, the next stage waiting for his

27:09god country would be its miniature universe phase. The last and highest stage a god country could ever

27:16reach. In the primal secret region, primal chaos city leader stood at the railing overlooking Thousand

27:23Treasures River, turning the problem over for the hundredth time. The Freedom Alliance, the Ancestral

27:29God School, the Space Beast Alliance, the Lone Supreme Masters. All of them waiting on the same answer.

27:35All of them wanting the same thing. Guidance toward becoming a universe supreme master. And beyond

27:41that, a limit universe supreme master. Hand that over freely. And the ancient civilization's

27:47inheritance stops being humanity's secret at all. It becomes common knowledge across every

27:53power watching. Everything Luofeng had fought for would mean nothing. The inheritance split cleanly into

27:59two parts. Efficient methods for turning weaker beings into universe masters. And the far rarer knowledge

28:05of pushing universe masters into universe supreme masters or higher still. Every outside power wanted

28:12that second part specifically. But humanity's whole strategy depended on scale. With limited territory,

28:19something like a hundred universe masters was the sweet spot for growth. Meanwhile, outside powers already

28:25fielded roughly a thousand universe masters between them. Hand them the climb to Supreme Master, and some

28:32of those thousand would eventually rival Teacher Origen himself. At that point, the inheritance stopped being

28:38an advantage for humanity, and simply became a gift to everyone else. We fight them instead, the city leader

28:44thought grimly. Not one scrap of that inheritance leaves our hands. Even retreating to the primal universe

28:51wasn't the disaster it once would have been. Not with Luofeng now. Capable of top-tier level six on

28:58every one of his bodies. Between Luofeng's four bodies, Peng Gong, Darkness, and himself,

29:05humanity could rebuild from a weak stretch and come back stronger. No alliance held together forever

29:10anyway. A figure in a white cape came down the hallway, and the city leader's eyes lit up before the

29:16name

29:16even left his mouth. Luofeng! Teacher! Luofeng crossed the distance and stood beside him.

29:24The city leader studied him, satisfied. Breakthrough? Yes. Luofeng was smiling,

29:30and he had every reason to be. Both his earthling body and golden horned. Beast body had hit the true

29:36limit of universe master godly power and strong enough. That no universe supreme master out in,

29:42universe ocean could out-muscle them. His Moshe body had climbed past 3,000 times life gene level,

29:49its godly form now 10,000 kilometers tall, though pushing it any further would need rare materials.

29:55He simply didn't have in storage yet. Even his remote ocean body, the weakest of the four at a

30:01thousand times life gene level, was far stronger than before. All four could unleash top-tier level six in

30:08the original universe. And out in universe ocean? Luofeng stood taller still, especially wielding

30:15Duanmi, the technique left behind by the three ancestral teachers themselves. Weaker in raw law

30:22comprehension than some rivals, perhaps, but the blood-shadow blade and Duanmi more than closed

30:27that gap. Fantastic, the city leader said. Wonderful. Teacher, you're worried, Luofeng said.

30:34The final war? How could I not be? The Freedom Alliance came together so fast,

30:40and it's already sitting on more leverage than anyone expected. The Ancestral God School,

30:45the Space Beast Alliance, the Lone Supreme Masters, they've all named their terms. Everyone's waiting

30:51on us. What do you want to do? Hand over everything, and they gain the most from it. After everything

30:57we've

30:58fought for, what would that even accomplish? We fight instead, lose, and we retreat to the primal

31:04universe. Anyone stupid enough to come? After our territory gets their own. Territory broken by the

31:10boat of mausoleum in return. That's still better than just handing them everything. Luofeng considered

31:15this. Teacher, I have an idea. An idea? I'm much stronger now, especially my remote ocean body.

31:22He laid out the plan, and the city leader's eyes gleamed as he listened. When Luofeng finished,

31:29the worry hadn't left the city leader's face. That would help enormously, he admitted. But can

31:35your remote ocean body actually hold up under it? That's exactly my advantage, teacher, Luofeng said,

31:41confident. If it comes down to burning godly power, mine recovers faster than anyone's. Even if they

31:48empty themselves completely, my remote ocean body will still have something left. I haven't accounted for

31:53every variable yet, but between that and the star tower, I believe I can pull it off. The city leader

31:59frowned harder. This plan was reckless enough to get Luofeng killed. We test it first, he said. If the

32:07test holds up, we move forward. Not before. Privately, he knew exactly what was at stake. He himself stood the

32:14best chance among humanity of reaching universe supreme master, and Luofeng came second as the sole

32:20inheritor of the Duandong River lineage, with real odds of transcending incarnation someday. He wasn't

32:27going to gamble that life away, not even to avoid retreating home. Let's test it. I'll call the others.

32:33The test ran that same day, with over a hundred universe masters taking part. Afterward, the city leader

32:39consulted Teacher Origin directly, then came back to confirm with Luofeng once more. It held, he said,

32:46eyes bright. You're confident and Teacher Origin approves. The Ancestral God School, the Space Beast

32:53Alliance, the Lone Masters, the Freedom Alliance. All of them getting greedier by the day, especially the

33:00Alliance. They want an answer? They'll get one. Luofeng smiled. It might go even better than that,

33:07teacher. We'll let them choose, the city leader said, whether they want to side with us or with the

33:13Alliance. His hesitation had been real, retreating, to the primal universe. Would have slowed humanity's

33:21growth for years. But the plan, however reckless it sounded, had proven workable in the original

33:27universe. A hundred masters had tested it. Teacher Origin and the rest of the human universe masters

33:33had all signed off. Everyone agreed. They would fight this through to the end. In the Ancestral God

33:39secret region, inside the Ancestral God Palace, the three Ancestral Gods sat gathered, with the eight

33:46beasts, gods and their guardians beneath them. None of them tied to the human camp, the United

33:52Forces or the Freedom Alliance, Ancestral God School alone and mostly beings unlike anything else in the

33:57war. Everyone. The central Ancestral God, beast-headed, hair drooping in strands thick as fingers,

34:04green eyes steady. The humans have responded. Every universe master present, nine remoteness

34:10master included, leaned in. It's simple. They'll give us the path to universe supreme master.

34:17That's all. Their final offer. Shock rippled through the room. Humanity. Staying this stubborn even now.

34:25We asked for two things, a massive black-bodied fish said. The climb to supreme master,

34:31and beyond that the limit of a supreme master. They're refusing the second entirely. Only the

34:37first, nine remoteness master pressed. Nothing more on the table at all. That's their line,

34:43the central Ancestral God said. Decide among yourselves whether we join them.

34:48The room fell silent. That same day, on an island riding the golden waves,

34:53more than four hundred universe masters sat on their thrones. The Freedom Alliance. The single

34:59strongest power now standing in the original universe. They, too, had just heard from the

35:04human envoy. Who'd delivered the identical line. The path to universe supreme master.

35:10Nothing further. No more room to negotiate. The choice now belonged entirely to them.

35:16More than four hundred great beings of the Freedom. Alliance gathered at its center to hear the

35:21human response laid out plainly. You've all heard it by now, one way or another,

35:26Shihua Island leader said. I'm open to suggestions on how we proceed. The angrier voices answered first.

35:33Reckless. Arrogant. They didn't even show us basic respect. The Freedom.

35:39Alliance is the strongest power in this universe and they know it. Without our backing, they can't

35:45hold the original universe at all. What did they even gain by refusing us? They don't have an escape

35:50route. Don't they want to survive? Since the Alliance's founding, its members had stopped

35:56thinking of themselves as scattered and weak. They were the Freedom Alliance now. Most had assumed the

36:02humans would simply fold to their terms, which made the rejection sting all the more. Off to one side,

36:08quieter voices weighed the same news differently. Nightflame, what's your read?

36:12Honestly? Most of us have been stuck at Universe Master level for a long time. Reaching Supreme

36:19Master is what we actually want. Limit Supreme Master feels like a different conversation entirely.

36:24That's Shihua's ambition more than ours. What the humans offered is genuinely enough for most of this

36:31Alliance. Maybe, but Shihua carries too much weight. Here for this to be settled that, easily,

36:37true, and some of the races who've been pushed around by the pinnacle powers. Plus the more

36:43confident ones. They're standing firmly behind him regardless. Shihua listened to all of it without

36:48speaking. Studying the 400 plus masters gathered close together. Huge Alliance, he thought. Built out

36:56of races that are enemies of each other half the time. The only thing holding us together is pressure

37:01from outside. Too many factions in here. Some too eager and confident to hold back. Some too

37:07deferential to the pinnacle races to risk offending anyone. Some careful, some outright scheming.

37:13Getting all of them behind me this time. To push the humans for the full inheritance. That's the real

37:19fight. Half a month of arguing changed nothing. Long-lived beings, high stakes. Too many old grudges

37:26packed into one Alliance. Not even… Shihua could fully rein it in. He mostly stayed silent through it,

37:32watching instead. Plenty of these masters were ambitious in their own right. And a power this

37:38large was exactly the kind of thing ambitious people wanted to control. The Northern Territory

37:44Alliance was the cautionary example. Its own Alliance Master held no real authority at all.

37:50Star River Master, Black Lotus Master, and Xuanlan Star Master ran things in practice. Some here clearly

37:56wanted Shihua reduced to the same kind of figurehead. He had no intention of letting that happen. And the

38:02endless debate was really just that power struggle playing out in the open. Elsewhere, atop Space God

38:08Mountain, on the isolated peak called Ancestral. Mountain where space and time bent and… something like

38:15an electric serpent slid through the distortion. Space Beast Ancestor arrived in a fury.

38:21The nerve of these humans! He snarled. What do we do, Ancestor? Force it out of them. Show them

38:28exactly what we're capable of. The gathered masters were furious. None of them had expected a refusal at

38:33all. Teacher origin came from the humans, Space Beast Ancestor said slowly. That alone gives them

38:40pride. And now Luofeng holds the Duandong River inheritance on top of it. Of course they're ambitious.

38:46I actually believed, given how desperate their position is, they'd hand over the full path to

38:52limit Supreme Master. And they still refused. His fury was personal, too. He considered himself close

38:58enough to Luofeng to have gone and negotiated directly, one of humanity's own senior figures. He'd

39:04expected that relationship to count for something. It hadn't. Humans only offered the lesser path.

39:11Universe Master to Supreme Master. Nothing further.

39:14What now, Ancestor? We can't just let this go.

39:18The Space Beasts roared their agreement. Bloodthirsty and proud by nature,

39:23stung by the rejection. Not yet, Space Beast Ancestor said.

39:27This isn't the moment to decide. I know humans, even backed into their original universe,

39:33they won't hand over that inheritance easily. We wait. When they're finally desperate enough to panic,

39:39if they still refuse us then, that's when we throw our weight behind the United Forces Alliance and make

39:45their situation far worse. Friendship across races was real enough in peacetime. But when it came to a

39:51race's own survival, blood ties won every time. True of the Space Beasts here and just as true of Luofeng,

39:59who had plenty of friends outside humanity and stood with his own race regardless. War made that choice for

40:05everyone eventually. The human response went out to all four parties. The Freedom Alliance,

40:11the Ancestral God School, the Space Beast Alliance, the Lone Supreme Masters. Nobody walked away fully

40:17satisfied. Back in human territory, above Thousand Treasures River, Luofeng stood with Darkness Master

40:24beside him. Some of them are furious with us right now, Luofeng said. But look at their actual choice.

40:31Back the United Forces and they might win the war and still get nothing. Back us and they get at

40:38least

40:38part of the inheritance guaranteed. That's true, Darkness Master said. Some of them will come our

40:43way just for that. And even if we lose outright, Luofeng added, slowing down now doesn't mean staying down.

40:50We'll come back stronger eventually. Agreed? Primal Chaos City leader standing nearby sounded certain of

40:57it. Let's go, Luofeng said and waved a hand. A nine-level tower shot out from his palm into the

41:03center of the river. Bigger, he told it. Bigger, bigger. Star Tower answered him, climbing past a

41:10hundred million kilometers. Then a billion, then ten billion, finally slowing only once it nearly brushed

41:17against his own palace. Time to set things up properly, Luofeng said. I want to see this myself,

41:24Darkness Master said, smiling. This might be the only chance we get. They walked to where the tower's

41:29base met Luofeng's palace. Flew inside and entered a quiet training chamber. The kind of scale only a

41:36Universe Master's home could hold. Its wall rising a full hundred thousand kilometers. An intricate sculpture

41:43carved across its face. The portal's already set up, Luofeng said, gesturing at it. This is the way

41:49into my god country. He stepped forward and touched the wall. A ripple passed through it. And both of

41:55them stepped through. Luofeng's Moshe body staying behind to hold Star Tower steady. Inside the vast

42:02god country, the remote ocean churned beneath a hanging. Light screen as the two of them. Emerged.

42:08This is your god country? Darkness Master looked around, genuinely struck. Impressive.

42:15Luofeng only smiled and nodded. His god country had already reached its ceiling, one more step from

42:21here. And it would become a true miniature universe. There was no reason left to keep it hidden.

42:26This remote ocean body, Darkness Master said, eyes on the endless water below them. A godly body like

42:33this. You'd never run short on power again. Mostly luck, Luofeng said. Part of it was deliberate,

42:40though. He'd transferred the golden-horned beast's soul into himself, choosing bloodline strength right

42:46at the outer edge of what any golden-horned beast could. Physically bare, any further. And it simply

42:52couldn't be bred at all. The nine-volume manual did the rest, letting him push the genetics of his bloody

42:58sea upward step by step, from a prince-level baseline all the way toward something approaching.

43:04Nine-remoteness Master's own level. Darkness Master shook his head.

43:08That's not just luck, Luofeng smiled. Let's begin. He turned his focus on the remote ocean.

43:15And it answered instantly. Water rising, surging toward the light screen like a living dragon,

43:22pouring through the portal. Back in the primal secret region, in the quiet of his training chamber,

43:27water began flooding out from the sculpture on the wall.
