Swallowed Star
chapter-1133

Luo Feng had only gotten to learn some major information about this legendary character today, but that did not stop him from worshipping Teacher Origin then and there.

In Luo Feng’s point of view, he had servants that were universe masters, had built the virtual universe, stood at the highest peak, and had gone to war with the universe origin… Finally, he had ended up in eternal suppression. Every event evoked a surge of admiration and respect for such a leader of humanity. If such a leader could appear in the universe once again… it would be one grand occasion for humanity.

“Is there any way out?” Luo Feng looked at the other universe masters.

Darkness Master was silent.

Primal Chaos City Leader sighed and answered, “No.”

Long Yan Master’s resounding voice was heard. “Huge Axe Creator has thought about it too, but he could not come up with a solution either. The servant of Teacher Origin, who is the core intelligence of the virtual universe, also informed us that Teacher Origin was unable to find any solution.”

Luo Feng sighed and nodded. After all, this was eternal suppression by the universe origin! Who could render help?

All six universe masters, including Luo Feng, had just returned to Thunder Island when they received mail from Huge Axe Creator, who was inviting them to join in the highest-level meeting of the human race.

“There are two kinds of highest-level meetings,” Primal Chaos City Leader said with a grin. “One is a large-scale, highest-level meeting where all universe knights, universe masters, and universe supreme beings will have to attend. Such a large-scale, highest-level meeting would normally be about major happenings or events that would compromise the benefits of universe knights. The other important matters that only concern the race—normally an internal discussion would suffice, and this other kind of highest-level meeting—would be attended by universe masters and universe supreme beings. This was convened by Huge Axe Creator. Thus, it is also known as ‘Huge Axe Meeting.'”

“Huge Axe Meeting?” Luo Feng nodded.

The previous highest-level meeting attended by a large number of universe knights was merely an announcement session where they all listened to a universe master issue information. The actual decision-makers were universe masters and universe supreme beings.

This was why Huge Axe Meeting was where decisions for various matters of the race were made.

“Your authority limit has been increased, so you can directly transport over to Huge Axe God Palace,” Primal Chaos City Leader said. “The Huge Axe Meeting will be held at Huge Axe God Palace.”

“Oh.” Luo Feng checked again and realized there were a few additional places he could transport to.

“Let’s go,” Primal Chaos City Leader said.

Within an instant, the six universe masters of the virtual universe branch disappeared from Thunder Island. For their branch… Primal Chaos City Leader was obviously the one in command.

Amidst endless darkness, there were indistinct flashes of starlight from afar.

A simple, plain-looking god palace hung suspended in mid-air. In the empty space in front of the god palace—which was not too big nor too small—there was a long stone table. There was only one stone chair at the position of the host seat, while on either side of the table was a stretch of stone chairs, all occupied by several towering figures.

The universe masters were in discussion. They were divided into several cliques, so it was typical for them to poke fun at each other.

“Haha! Deserted Mirror. Previously, all of you were so unwilling to hand over Earth’s ownership rights to Luo Feng! In the end, the final say still lies with Huge Axe… We have said that the day Luo Feng sits with us will be the day we hand him Earth ownership rights. That wasn’t too long ago, right? Luo Feng has already earned his place beside us now.”

“Didn’t you also object to it previously?”

“I have no family ties to worry about, so naturally, I will take a neutral stand. Actually, from how things turn out now, maybe you all should have acceded to Luo Feng’s request back then and accepted the Disambiguation Mirror Stone for half of Earth’s ownership rights! Now? Now that Luo Feng is on equal footing with us, according to what Huge Axe has said, we must surrender all the ownership rights to Luo Feng, but at the same time, the Disambiguation Mirror Stones are off limits to us.”

“Humph.”

Hua! Hua! Hua!

Six figures appeared almost simultaneously. They were none other than the six great beings from the virtual universe branch with Primal Chaos City Leader as their leader.

“Primal Chaos City Leader.”

“Primal Chaos City Leader, you are here.”

“Primal Chaos City Leader.”

Almost all the universe masters who were already present greeted Primal Chaos City Leader the moment they saw him. After all, within all of humanity, the ones with the highest status were unquestionably Huge Axe Creator and Teacher Origin, who had been eternally suppressed by the universe origins! Other than these two, Primal Chaos City Leader, who was eternally protecting the primal universe, was right next in line, so naturally, he would be highly respected.

“Darkness, you are here too? It is quite rare to see you making an appearance.”

“I didn’t expect Darkness to turn up. There have been so many meetings before this, but never once has he turned up.”

The universe masters were speaking incessantly while the group of six with their leader, Primal Chaos City Leader, took their seats. The six universe masters of the virtual universe branch sat together in a straight, horizontal row, with Primal Chaos City Leader nearest to the host seat, followed by Long Yan Master, Darkness Master, Ice Mountain Master, You Hou Master, and lastly, Milky Way Horde Leader.

Luo Feng sat down and observed the other universe masters as he humbly replied to their conversations.

“Luck! I was lucky to make such accomplishments because I had the chance to cultivate in peace for a long period in places like House of Time. It was just by chance encounter that I managed to create that technique. Haha! The three major alliances were after my life—I needed to be ruthless to save myself!”

As he spoke, he observed meticulously. After all, all those present were already the top-tier beings of humanity. Previously, he had only managed to look up some information, but he had never met them in person before.

Huge Axe Dojo branch has Huge Axe Creator as its leader. Normally, Void Gold Master would be the one managing the dojo, who was previously the substitute teacher for my big brother, Hong, and the creator of the Sky Ruins Tablet.

Luo Feng looked over and saw that Void Gold Master was a towering figure with long, dazzling golden hair. He wore a smile on his face and had eyebrows that were so long they hung all the way down to his chest. In terms of how he carried himself, he was no less charismatic than Primal Chaos City Leader.

The Universe Mercenary Alliance has Deserted Mirror Master as its leader, Luo Feng realized as he observed carefully.

Deserted Mirror Master was hideous-looking, and his body was covered with complicated scales. There were three sharp horns on his head, so at first glance, he looked like a beast in human form. The aura he exuded was equally domineering. Deserted Mirror Master was also observing Luo Feng with due diligence; of all the universe masters present who observing Luo Feng, the number of times he looked over at Luo Feng ranked in the top three.

The Universe First Bank has Qing Dong Master as its leader.

Qing Dong Master was wearing a green armor with a green cape, and on his cape were complicated secret engravings that formed a beautiful beast diagram. That beast did not belong to any species of the Eight Beast Gods.

Universe Star River Bank has Peng Gong Master as its leader.

Luo Feng looked at Peng Gong Master. Of the three universe masters staring at Luo Feng, Peng Gong Master topped the list. He was slightly stout, bald, and had a large beard that drooped. From the aura he exuded, he was by far the weakest universe master present. And the Universe Star River Bank branch he led only had a total of two universe masters, which was the least of the lot. Yet, according to the information that Luo Feng had read up on, Peng Gong Master’s power was ranked at the top of humanity. Even Void Gold Master was not his match. He was, in fact, comparable to Primal Chaos City Leader.

Humanity is indeed strong. Luo Feng could not help but sigh. There are more universe masters at the pinnacle level; there were even a few that were at the top-tier level. This is considered extremely high in the universe.

This was based on all the understanding Luo Feng had gained so far. The powers of universe masters could be categorized as “elementary,” “ordinary,” “pinnacle,” and “top-tier.”

The elementary category referred to those who had just become universe masters, with a life gene level of 100 times, who had yet to create an ultimate technique of a universe master. This group of universe masters rarely made appearances. They were more inclined to isolate themselves in solitude to devote themselves to honing their power.

The ordinary category referred to those who used a certain amount of resources to get their life gene level to reach a stage whereby it was temporarily difficult to achieve further increase—for example, 1,000 times the life gene level. In addition, they had created their ultimate technique of a universe master and had obtained quite outstanding true treasures.

The pinnacle category was made up of universe masters who might possess very powerful true treasures or created very strong techniques or had life gene levels that might have reached around 10,000 times! Satisfying one of the above, then meeting the requirements of the other two, would just be a matter of time. This was the point where a universe master was almost considered to be at the pinnacle level.

The top-tier category referred to universe masters like Star River Master, Primal Chaos City Leader, and Darkness Master. In terms of life gene level, true treasures and techniques, these masters had attained an extremely high level. That was the only way to be considered top-tier!

The five branches of humanity. From how I see it, the virtual universe branch is the strongest link. Especially the three disciples of Teacher Origin: Teacher, Darkness Master, and Ice Mountain Master. All of them were about the top-tier level.

Luo Feng sighed inwardly as he thought about how truly powerful the disciples under the tutelage of Teacher Origin were. The other four branches seemed to pale in comparison when it came to quality. Even Huge Axe Creator had once received the guidance of Teacher Origin.

As Luo Feng sat contemplating the power of the greatest level of humanity and sighing over how he was the last one in line, Huge Axe Creator finally turned up.

Hua!

With a head of disheveled hair, a wild-looking giant appeared on the host seat. That very instant, the universe masters quietened down as all their expressions registered respect. Only Luo Feng, though also looking respectful, was unable to conceal the hint of surprise he felt. The wild-looking giant looked toward Luo Feng, smiled, and nodded.

“Luo Feng!” he said. “This is the first time you and I have met.”

“Huge Axe Creator,” Luo Feng replied respectfully while looking at Huge Axe Creator.

The more he looked at this wild-looking giant, the more he noted the striking resemblance between Huge Axe Creator and his good friend from the past, “Rong Jun.” Rong Jun may have been a far cry from Huge Axe Creator, but he did carry some charismatic airs, albeit indistinctly. But they both shared the same kind of heroic spirit. Even their looks and disposition…

As distinct as the differences between east and west, Huge Axe Creator and wild man Rong Jun contrasted, but they clearly shared a similar disposition. In terms of looks and appearance, Luo Feng experienced a new feeling… the feeling of being of the same race!

When Rong Jun made his first appearance in Primal Chaos City, he was not outstanding at all, thought Luo Feng. At that time, we were merely a bunch of fellows who just emerged from the War of Talents… Many universe knights paid us no heed. Just like me, now—where would I find the time to care for those young emerging fellows? At that time, even Bo Lan was not taken in as a disciple by any universe knight; on the contrary, Rong Jun was the first to be accepted as a disciple by a universe country master.

When Rong Jung had been accepted as a disciple to a universe country master, many participants of the War of Talents were jealous and reluctant to accept the fact. At that time, Luo Feng had also gritted his teeth and promised himself that, even if Rong Jun did have a universe country master as teacher, he would surpass Rong Jun, somehow. Even then…

Thereafter, when he did succeed in achieving outstanding results, there were still other beings like Heaven Erosion Palace Master who were betting that Luo Feng was still not Rong Jun’s match.

“Why are they all in favor of Rong Jun?” Luo Feng muttered under his breath. “It seems highly possible he is from the branch under Huge Axe Creator. Who are the great beings under Huge Axe creator’s branch?”

A great deal of information on universe knights came rushing back to Luo Feng’s mind as he speedily recalled his memories. However, most universe knights donned armor and boots. There were not many like Rong Jun, who carried the disposition of a wild man…

“There were four to five of them who seem to have such a disposition or character.”

Luo Feng tired hard to recall so that he could differentiate something out. He was faintly sure of it. After all, he did take a shorter time to become a great being, so he only had a few good friends like Kuang Zhou Knight. The rest of the universe knights were merely casual acquaintances.
