Ender sent a voice transmission, asking, "Is it because of the upcoming Great Battle?"
"That's only one reason. The real reason I sought you out is the issue of your Universe Venerable identity and positioning."
Venerable You Mo expressed regret, "I believe your strength is sufficient for the position of Universe Overlord, but the Virtual Universe System and the highest echelons of the Human Race do not recognize it…"
"Universe Overlord? Senior Brother truly thinks highly of me, to actually believe I possess the strength of a Universe Overlord!"
Upon hearing this, Ender was slightly stunned. "That Venerable Fu Xie was merely an ordinary Universe Overlord, yet I lost one-thousandth of my Immortal Energy when clashing with him!"
Because he had experienced the strength of a Universe Overlord, Ender did not believe he could match one.
Just clashing with Venerable Fu Xie, his Divine Body, which was a staggering 1.6 million kilometers tall, lost one-thousandth of its Immortal Energy, which was enough to illustrate the terrifying power of a Universe Overlord Rank expert!
"Currently, your identity is that of an Advanced Universe Venerable."
Venerable You Mo smiled and said, "I very much look forward to you earning the title of Universe Overlord during The Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
Ender said with a wry smile, "Senior Brother, Universe Overlord Rank experts are incredibly powerful. It's already difficult for me to even clash with one for a short period. It's very hard to truly be ranked as a Universe Overlord!"
"Didn't your aura remain unchanged even after your brief clash with Venerable Fu Xie?"
Venerable You Mo asked curiously, "How is it difficult?"
"Senior Brother, to be honest with you, the reason I could clash with Venerable Fu Xie for so long was due to my Divine Body being immeasurably larger than his."
Ender sighed, "After the clash with Venerable Fu Xie ended, I lost nearly one percent of my Immortal Energy."
"Oh, is that so…" Venerable You Mo nodded slightly.
He remembered that Ender's Divine Body was over a hundred kilometers tall, and losing nearly one percent of his Immortal Energy after clashing with Venerable Fu Xie was not a small loss.
Furthermore, Venerable Fu Xie did not burn his Immortal Energy during the clash, otherwise Ender's Immortal Energy loss would have been even greater.
"Without a doubt, Junior Brother's amplification should be close to a hundred times, and judging by his aura, his life gene level should exceed a hundred times."
Venerable You Mo murmured, "He used his highly comprehended Wood-Space Fusion Laws to create an extremely high-level attack secret technique, and with a Heavy Treasure battle armor protecting him, he possesses battle power close to that of a Universe Overlord."
"Considering this, Junior Brother's strength being close to a Universe Overlord is already his limit. Even with a relatively massive Divine Body, it merely increases his ability to briefly exchange blows with a Universe Overlord."
"It's already remarkable for an Immortal to possess such strength. Perhaps ninety-nine percent of special life forms aren't as Heaven-Defying as Junior Brother."
Thinking of this, Venerable You Mo sighed inwardly, then sent a voice transmission, "After the Supreme Council concludes, you should go to Primal Chaos City to exchange for treasures to enhance your strength, and then we will head to the Seventh Battlefield ahead of time."
"Understood." Ender nodded gently.
Venerable You Mo did not leave but waited with Ender for the Pantheon Sanctuary to open.
As more and more powerhouses gathered on the Pantheon Mountain.
Boom…
The heavens and earth rumbled, immediately attracting the attention of all the powerhouses on the Pantheon Mountain.
Ender and thousands of Universe Venerables simultaneously looked up at the sky, only to see two dazzling golden gates slowly opening amidst the clouds in the sky. These two gates had a brilliant starry sky on them.
The place where the meeting was held was inside the palace suspended above the Pantheon Mountain, which was the 'Pantheon Sanctuary' of the Pantheon Mountain!
"Human Race experts, gather!"
A majestic voice resounded throughout the entire world.
Whoosh!
All the Universe Venerables on the Pantheon Mountain instantly vanished, all of them being teleported into the Pantheon Sanctuary.
Rumble…
The two great gates, illuminating the entire space with golden light, slammed shut!
...
Inside the Pantheon Sanctuary, there was an incredibly massive, exquisitely carved round table.
Countless thrones were arranged around the round table, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Ender sat on one of these thrones, and on the back of the throne, the two characters 'Void River' were written in the Human Race's common language.
Looking around, he could see most of the round table, but only the center was shrouded in mist, making it unclear.
he saw an large number of Universe Venerables sitting at the lowest level; these were all Elementary Universe Venerables, and their thrones were the smallest, about 2 meters wide!
The thrones of Intermediate Universe Venerables were 10 meters wide.
The thrones of Advanced Universe Venerables were 50 meters wide.
The thrones of Universe Overlords, on the other hand, were 200 meters wide.
Ender was rated as an Advanced Universe Venerable, so the throne he sat on was 50 meters wide!
As an Advanced Universe Venerable, aside from the Universe Master who were still shrouded in mist, all other Universe Venerables and Universe Overlords were within his line of sight.
While Ender was observing his surroundings, the Universe Venerables sitting on nearby thrones also noticed Ender, who was a newly promoted Venerable!
"Oh?! Ender is actually an Advanced Universe Venerable!"
"This doesn't conform to the rules, does it? Even if he truly has the strength of an Advanced Universe Venerable, how could he be assigned here without any battle achievements?"
"Exactly! Could it be that Ender, immediately after breaking through to become a Venerable, fought an Advanced Universe Venerable or a Universe Overlord?"
"I've been a Universe Venerable for countless years, and now I'm only a Intermediate Universe Venerable. How can Ender be worthy of being ranked as an Advanced Universe Venerable?"
Noticing Ender, many Universe Venerables began to discuss through voice transmission.
They were already envious of Ender, who had risen quickly and had Heavy Treasures protecting him. Now, seeing him instantly attain the Rank of Advanced Universe Venerable, many Venerables felt indignant.
Because according to tradition, the strength division of Universe Venerables, just like the star Ranks of the Hong Alliance, required actual battle achievements!
"Heh, dissatisfied, are they…"
Ender sensed the indignant gazes of many Universe Venerables. "Indeed, they have been Universe Venerables for countless years, yet they are only Intermediate, Advanced Universe Venerables, or even stuck at Elementary Universe Venerable strength."
"But a junior like me, who has Cultivated for less than a hundred thousand years, has not only become a Universe Venerable but also ascended to a Rank they cannot reach or match in strength in one fell swoop. Naturally, they have some opinions."
He thought to himself, "But if they knew that my position as an Advanced Universe Venerable was obtained after clashing with a Universe Overlord, I wonder what their expressions would be…"
The strength of a Universe Overlord is terrifying; even the most ordinary one far surpasses a Intermediate Universe Venerable.
For example, the two Advanced Universe Venerables of the Gold Horn Race, who had top-tier Heavy Treasure battle armor, had over 30% of their Immortal Energy annihilated in a single blow. If they took another blow, they would perish on the spot!
And how many Intermediate Universe Venerables possess top-tier Heavy Treasure battle armor?
It's no exaggeration to say that among all Intermediate Universe Venerables in the entire Original Universe, less than one percent have top-tier Heavy Treasure battle armor! This is still the ratio under the circumstances of wealthy Pinnacle Race, working hard to raise the average line.
"This time, the Race is holding a Supreme Council to discuss the upcoming Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
Ender silently thought, "Once I demonstrate my strength in The Great Battle, these Universe Venerables who doubt me and feel indignant will all have to shut up!"
...
Around the massive round table, the countless Divine Thrones were divided into five levels.
2 meters wide, 10 meters wide, 50 meters wide, 200 meters wide, and 1000 meters wide, and the Divine Body of all powerhouses perfectly matched their respective chairs.
Among them, Tian Shi Palace Master, Venerable You Mo, Venerable Guiyi, and other Universe Overlords were all seated on the two-hundred-meter-wide Divine Thrones.
And at the highest point…
On the majestic thrones, Universe Master sat at the very top, looking down upon all other Human Race experts. They were the super-existences from the five major forces of the Human Race!
These 1000-meter-wide majestic thrones were all dazzling gold, except for the two majestic thrones in the very center, which were black and exuded a solemn aura.
On one of the black thrones, there was a faint carving of a Huge Axe, and seated on this throne was a giant man with thick fingers and disheveled long hair, like a savage.
However, the other black throne beside him was empty, with no one seated on it.
All the other golden thrones were occupied by majestic figures.
"Ice Summit."
Desolation Master, who had a very ferocious appearance, with complex scales all over his body and three sharp horns on his head, smiled and said, "This young Disciple of yours has Heaven-Defying talent and Opportunity. He can clash with a Universe Overlord as soon as he becomes a Universe Venerable."
Ice Summit Master did not speak, or rather, was too lazy to bother.
"Desolation, you are a Universe Master after all, why are you interested in a junior's Opportunity?"
Beside him, the Dragon Walk Master, whose body was as massive as a mountain, with a long Dragon tail trailing behind him, and eyes that seemed to contain the entire Universe, teased.
"How can you say I'm interested? I'm just curious."
Desolation Master denied it, "After all, this junior's growth speed is too fast. If it can benefit more of our Race, it would be a good thing."
"Haha, Desolation."
A Universe Master laughed, "If you're willing to give your World Master Level Disciples Arcana Treasures for protection, your Disciples' strength would also improve significantly."
"The way you put it, it's as if I've never bestowed Arcana Treasures upon my Disciples."
Desolation Master shook his head, "I'm not as exaggerated as Ice Summit, who bestows Arcana Treasures for protection at the World Master Level. There are quite a few Venerables who are complaining and dissatisfied."
A domineering voice rang out, "Hmph! What's there to be dissatisfied about? If my Disciples had that junior's talent and Opportunity, I would also bestow Arcana Treasures at the World Master Level. But do they have such talent and Opportunity? No!!!"
"That's right, what's more, that Arcana Treasure belongs to Ice Summit. He can bestow it upon whomever he wants. What does it have to do with those Venerables? If they want Arcana Treasures, they should go fight and contend with the foreign races themselves."
A Universe Master softly said, "Although that's true, did You Mo not have any objections to Ice Summit bestowing a Heavy Treasure upon Ender for protection?"
"What objections could You Mo have? Does he lack ordinary Arcana Treasures? It's only those Universe Venerables with insufficient strength who complain!"
"In my opinion, we should make an example of them. The ones who are most vocal should be directly imprisoned in the prison of the Primal Universe."
"No need, it's just private discussion. It's not like Flame Emperor, who acted to seize treasures and even used lethal force…"
Upon mentioning Flame Emperor, the Universe Master immediately fell silent. They had all received the latest news about Flame Emperor and the Flame God Race.
They learned that under Flame Emperor's leadership, the Flame God Race had joined the 'Nine Territories Alliance', a top-tier force in the Universe.
The Nine Territories Alliance boasted over 50 million Pinnacle-Level Immortal, over 100,000 Universe Venerables, and a dozen Universe Master. It was not comparable to powerful forces like the Muqi Alliance.
In terms of battle power, the Nine Territories Alliance was in no way inferior to any other Alliance, except that it did not have True Gods.
"Alright, let's not discuss other matters. The Universe Venerables are still waiting. Let the meeting begin."
The Huge Axe Creator, seated on the black throne, broke the silence and looked at the Primal Chaos City Lord on his left, saying, "Chaos, this meeting will still be presided over by you."
"Mmm." Primal Chaos City Lord nodded.
...
Among the thousands of densely packed thrones, Ender, like the other Universe Venerables, was conversing with several Advanced Universe Venerables, gathering information and intelligence.
The Divine Thrones in this Pantheon Sanctuary were divided into five levels. One could see the figures of powerhouses one Rank higher than themselves, and could actively converse with those of the same Rank or lower Ranks.
For example, Ender could converse with four-star powerhouses (Elementary Universe Venerable), five-star powerhouses (Intermediate Universe Venerables), and six-star powerhouses (Advanced Universe Venerables)!
And the lowest-Rank Elementary Universe Venerable could only converse with other Elementary Venerables.
"Everyone!" A gentle and majestic voice descended, and the entire Pantheon Sanctuary instantly fell silent.
"Every time a Supreme Council is convened, it is due to a major event that affects the entire Race."
Primal Chaos City Lord's majestic voice resounded throughout the Pantheon Sanctuary, and no one dared to interrupt. "This Supreme Council is convened because the Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race have dispatched a large number of Universe Venerables into the Seventh Battlefield, intending to initiate an even more brutal Great Battle."
"Large numbers of Universe Venerables entering the Seventh Battlefield?"
"The Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race saw that we gained a lot from destroying the Muqi Alliance, and now they want to make things difficult for us."
"A more brutal Great Battle, who knows how many Venerables will fall this time…"
Except for a few Universe Venerables who had been informed in advance, the other Universe Venerables all showed expressions of shock.
Great Battles in the Extraterritorial Battlefield were launched almost periodically, but this particular Great Battle was bound to be extremely brutal, otherwise the Race would not have convened a Supreme Council.
"The Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race have dispatched a large number of Venerables into the Seventh Battlefield, and the Race must respond with powerful force!"
Primal Chaos City Lord's majestic voice continued, "After deliberation by the highest echelons of the Race, the Race will also dispatch Universe Venerables into the Seventh Battlefield and enlist allied Universe Venerables."
"Everyone, the Opportunity to obtain Heavy Treasures, earn battle merits, and make great contributions to the Race has arrived! Deployments will be notified through the Virtual Universe System. Universe Venerables who do not receive a notification may participate voluntarily."
As Primal Chaos City Lord's words fell, the eyes of a few Universe Venerables became fervent, a longing for war, slaughter, and treasures!
For instance, Venerable You Mo, whose body was covered in dark red scales and whose dark red eyes were filled with excitement, was a representative figure who yearned to participate in The Great Battle!
However, more Universe Venerables had grave expressions, for they knew that this Great Battle was extraordinary and would be exceptionally brutal!
Normally, except during the opening of Original Star, opportunities for Universe Venerables to fight each other were rare, often only occurring during treasure disputes discovered in Universe Secret Realms.
However, a Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield is a battlefield where many Universe Venerables fight. Once an enemy Venerable is killed, one can obtain their treasures and wealth, which attracts Venerables from remote regions to participate in The Great Battle.
But even before this Great Battle began, the three races dispatched a large number of their elite Universe Venerables to station themselves, making the intensity of the battlefield absolutely one of the few in the history of Great Battles!
Finally, Primal Chaos City Lord said, "Three years. The Race will advance into the Seventh Battlefield in three years. I hope everyone will make preparations during this time."
