Chapter 1261: Let’s Split Up

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Every universe master seated wore an extremely solemn expression.
The reason was obvious. There was nothing they could do to hide the truth; if Huge Axe Creator was trapped in the Land of Darkness, so be it. So long as—in their capacity as higher-ups of the human race—they did not let the news leak, nothing much would happen. But now, Huge Axe’s miniature universe was starting to crumble and collapse. This was something they could not hide. A race without any supreme universe master, yet occupying what was said to be the best territory within the entire original universe and possessing the most precious inheritance within the entire Universe Ocean… Who would not be envious? Who would not be tempted?
The bugs clan, the demons, the automaton race… For countless years, they had been fighting the humans ceaselessly! When Huge Axe was around, that was the case. Without Huge Axe, would the three pinnacle races show mercy?
“We are no longer the human race we were before.” Primal Chaos City Leader’s gaze swept over them once. “We no longer have the protection of a universe supreme master! The severity of the situation is clear. Let’s put our heads together to think about what we should do now.”
“War is imminent!” Peng Gong Master, who was normally all smiles, was without a trace of a smile at that moment. Solemnly, he said, “This is for sure! And this war will not be small-scale hassles like before. This is a true war that concerns the extermination of an entire race, which is why, no matter what, we must first preserve the seeds of our race. Regardless of the outcome of the war, we must first be prepared for failure!”
“True.”
“That’s right.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. In a war that implicated the extermination of an entire race, it was necessary to consider failure before battle.
“We need to look out for our next generation,” Void Gold Master said right away. “Especially for the next generation living in our territory that displays high potential. We have to quickly gather all our members from the 1,008 universe countries who are at the universe level, domain level, and sector lord level, respectively! Then bring them over to the primal universe. More importantly, all the undying spirits and universe knights must be brought over to the primal universe. These undying spirits are the fruits of our accumulation over endless time, relying on the system of cultivation that Milky Way Horde Leader has acquired from the ancient civilization, given the large number of undying spirits of our human race, we can certainly cultivate a group of universe knights, and eventually, they will progress to becoming universe masters!”
“True.”
“That’s right.”
“For countless years, our number of undying spirits has grown to a sizable number. We must bring them all away.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Undying spirits were useless in wars that involved the extermination of entire races, but in the future, they were likely to become universe knights or even universe masters!
“The human territory is vast, and there are countless ordinary citizens,” Void Gold Master continued. “Wishing to bring all the humans away with us is impractical! And even if war truly happens, all the other life planets with humans—like the bug clan and the automaton race—will not mindlessly kill or seek to exterminate the ordinary humans.”
Luo Feng nodded. This was the typical line of thought.
When wars that involved the extermination of entire races happened, the killings of great beings were exceptionally brutal. The worst scenario was that the killings went out of control and the ordinary humans were implicated. Otherwise, the rampages would not usually involve the deliberate slaughter of ordinary humans! And because one party started slaughtering, the opposing party could also start to slaughter. And for most ordinary humans and demons, so long as a large batch of humans was released from the various god countries of undying spirits and scattered across the various life planets, after 100 years or 1,000 years, their numbers could rapidly proliferate.
That was why, when it came to ordinary inhabitants, so long as there was a large pool of surviving humans within the god countries and world rings that would be the seeds preserving the existence of a race, the human race could rapidly multiply. Therefore, the influence over a race would not be that great.
The truly great influence was the territory! Only with a potential territory could there be a place for breeding humans!
“The greatest trouble we face now is that we are too weak,” Darkness Master said in a low voice. “Within our race, me, Primal Chaos City Leader, and Peng Gong are considered fifth-tier universe masters. We may be able to exchange blows with universe supreme masters, but we can only ensure our survival. Anything more than this, such as restraining the opponent, is simply beyond us. If the universe supreme masters want to leave, they can do so speedily, because they are not limited by the universe laws… Throughout the entire war, we are going to be at a great disadvantage.”
“There is something I have yet to tell you all,” Primal Chaos City Leader said.
Everyone looked toward Primal Chaos City Leader instantly.
“Luo Feng, you say it.” Primal Chaos City Leader looked towards Luo Feng, causing Darkness Master, Void Gold Master, Qing Dong Master, Remote Lord Master, Long Yan Master, and the few others in the group to follow suit.
“I am going to make a deal with East Emperor Holy Land,” Luo Feng began.
This matter had to be brought into the open. And now was the crucial moment, as it would greatly help in boosting their morale.
“Deal?” Darkness Master, Peng Gong Master, Ice Mountain Master and the rest had doubts springing up their minds.
“Yes, this deal will enable the human race to lay hands on two supreme true treasures,” Luo Feng said with a solemn face, “and between the two, one is a palace type true treasure.”
“Two supreme true treasures?”
“Two?”
“Milky Way Horde Leader, are you sure you are not mistaken? Supreme true treasures?”
Darkness Master and Ice Mountain Master, who were usually very calm, were shocked beyond words, whereas the other universe masters all started to show happy expressions. This was timely help in their hour of distress, just as they were lamenting how bleak their future was—that the human race would face great losses regardless of which pinnacle race attacked them. They did not even dare consider the possibility of being under siege.
Now, learning that they were going to be given supreme true treasures, their minds were instantly put at ease! Supreme true treasure—otherwise known as “dominating clan” true treasures—would be able to turn the tables for the human race.
“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded. “This deal is about to take place very soon.”
“Inheritance?” Darkness Master suddenly said.
Silence prevailed as all the other universe masters looked over. This ancient civilization was the root of the rise of the human race! They might be in a predicament now, but to hand over the inheritance as part of the deal was something they were most reluctant to oblige.
Luo Feng shook his head. “Don’t worry. I will not do anything that will shake the roots of our race, that’s for sure. This deal was finalized long before Huge Axe’s fall, so we are not at any disadvantage to start with.”
“All right!” Primal Chaos City Leader ordered. “Stop wasting time. Now, all the universe masters, wherever you are, be it the Universe Ocean, or the original stars, all of you are to report back within the shortest time possible! And my human race, regardless of whether you are from the pulse of the dojo, the pulse of the virtual universe belonging to the division of the five pulses, or any division of the universe countries—in short, so long as you are from the human race, all undying spirits must speedily make your way to the primal universe!”
******
The top higher-ups merely had a concrete set of guidelines. As for the execution and detailed planning, all of these were naturally carried out by the universe knights or even the undying spirits.
The meeting ended quickly with all the universe masters speedily departing. Only Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader remained.
“Luo Feng!” Primal Chaos City Leader shouted for Luo Feng.
“Teacher?” Luo Feng turned around.
“You must be extremely careful at all times,” Primal Chaos City Leader said solemnly. “These two supreme true treasures are extremely important! You also obtained a supreme true treasure from the pulse of Duan Dong River… If that is the case, we humans will at least have some strength of resistance. As for the deal with East Emperor Holy Land, you must make it quickly! Before East Emperor Holy Land changes its plans once they catch wind of the news about Huge Axe’s annihilation.”
“Mm.” Luo Feng nodded with understanding.
The humans were weak; when it seemed as though they could be the subject of bullying by any other race, the East Emperor Holy Land might seriously entertain other thoughts and change its mind about the deal.
“Don’t worry, Teacher,” Luo Feng said solemnly. “I have the Boat of Mausoleum. They are dreaming if they think they can snatch it from me by force. I will take a firm stand on this deal and will show no trace of retreat.”
“Yes, make a fast deal. I only fear a change.” Primal Chaos City Leader said.
“All right, I will get in touch with North True Star Master right away,” said Luo Feng. He also worried, as before this, the two supreme true treasures were just extra blessings of fortune bestowed upon them—to further enable their plan to rise. But now… these two supreme treasures were vital to the human race.

Earth, Luo’s family ancestral home.
“Luo Hai, Luo Ping.” Luo Feng was on the host seat as he ordered, “You two brothers will take all the core members of our Luo Family and leave right away. Take them with you to another place in the world. And—from the entire pulse of earthlings, in the name of Ping Hai Company and other transfer companies, gather around a trillion humans from the pulse of earthlings and bring them along, too.”
“Dad.”
“Dad, you mean…?”
Luo Hai and Luo Ping were both full of doubts.
“The human race is going to face a great calamity,” Luo Feng said directly. “Don’t ask any further questions. Just do as I say. Now.”
“Yes.”
Luo Ping and Luo Hai had a good shock and did not hesitate further. Calamity? The human race was going to face a calamity?
Who was their father? Someone of the highest rank among the entire human race; if he said that there would be a calamity, then it would be the absolute truth. Core members of Luo Feng’s family? A trillion humans from the pulse of Earthlings? After such a long period of growth, the Luo Family numbered in the millions! The pulse of earthlings was a number much more exaggerated than the Luo Family’s!
This was why choosing from the core members and trillions of people from the pulse of earthlings… obviously, seeds had to be preserved! With these seeds and time, no matter how much time was required, the human race could rapidly proliferate and regain vitality and prosperity like before.
Luo Ping and Luo Hai dashed out, started to mobilize the great energy of the entire Luo Family and got to work.
“Luo Feng.” Xu Xin looked at her husband and asked, “What happened?”
“Huge Axe… has been annihilated,” Luo Feng said in a low voice.
Xu Xin’s eyes widened. Huge Axe? She was Luo Feng’s wife, so she naturally would know the structure of the highest committee of the entire human race. She also knew that the entire human race only had one universe supreme master—Huge Axe Creator! Huge Axe had been annihilated? This was definitely an impending calamity, or something even more terrifying.
“I will remain on Earth and then take you all to the primal universe,” Luo Feng said.
He was one of the great beings who made up the pillars of the human race! But he was also the leader of the pulse of the earthlings! Just in case, he was taking the Luo Family’s core members and a trillion humans from the pulse of the earthlings. As for those who remained, even if there truly was a war, things would not be so bad for the ordinary humans. Unless the higher-ups of the human race suffered a crushing defeat in the battle and had to retreat into the primal universe after a complete loss, that was when the entire human territory had no choice but to accept the fate of a great extermination of humans! A crushing defeat!
Luo Feng had no confidence of winning the battle, but he did not believe they would lose to the extent that they had to retreat to the primal universe.

In the vast Universe Ocean, a lone vessel was teleporting amidst the chaotic airflow, advancing forward, when suddenly, some distance ahead, a broken universe appeared. It seemed to have lost half of its original size.
Within the Boat of Mausoleum, Luo Feng looked out into the distance.
“North True Star Master, I have made it.” Luo Feng held the transmission token and spoke into it. He had gotten Remote Ocean body to return to Earth to make all the necessary arrangements.
As for his original earthling body, of course it would enter Universe Ocean right away to close the deal with East Emperor Holy Land. This deal had to be completed without fail, without a glitch, and the deal must be closed as quickly as possible.
“Milky Way Horde Leader, we from East Emperor Holy Land have arrived quite some time ago,” North True Star Master responded.
“Very well.”
Then the Boat of Mausoleum sped toward that ruined miniature universe.
