Virtual Universe, Huge Axe Godly Palace.
Before the long stone table surrounded by Chaos airflow, 22 Universe Master of the Human Race gathered.
Primal Chaos City Lord and Ender sat on either side of the main seat, while the other Universe Master conversed in low voices, awaiting the arrival of Huge Axe Creator.
"This highest-level meeting isn't because of seizing the Arcana treasure in the Daylight Sword Tomb, is it?"
"The Human Race has successfully seized the Arcana treasure in the Daylight Sword Tomb, though at some cost."
"It's quite a good deal to exchange three top-tier Domain type Arcana treasures for the retreat of three Fifth-rank Universe Master."
"The Arcana treasure born on Original Star is highly valuable. It's a gain for our Human Race to exchange it for three precious top-tier Arcana treasures, but Ice Summit Master's strength has been exposed…"
"Exposed then exposed. With the current strength of our Human Race, why would we be afraid of being targeted for having one more Sixth-rank Universe Master?"
"Exactly. If not for our Human Race's unwillingness to expose our strength, the position of the Original Universe's number one power might not be the Ancestral God Sect!"
As the Universe Master conversed in low voices, Huge Axe Creator suddenly appeared in the main seat, and all conversations immediately ceased.
"Huge Axe Creator."
"Huge Axe."
The Universe Master all spoke up when they saw Huge Axe Creator arrive.
"Hmm."
Huge Axe Creator nodded and smiled, "This time, the Arcana treasure 'daylight' that appeared on Original Star has been successfully seized by our Human Race."
Upon hearing this, many of the Universe Master looked at the calm Ice Summit Master.
"To seize 'daylight', our Human Race paid three top-tier Domain type Arcana treasures."
Huge Axe Creator's gaze swept over everyone, "I will contribute 4 Pinnacle Arcana treasures to the Treasure Vault of the Race on behalf of Ice Summit Master. From now on, 'daylight' will be used by Ice Summit Master to enhance the strength of our Human Race."
The Universe Master looked at each other in dismay upon hearing this, many with strange expressions on their faces. They didn't quite understand why Huge Axe Creator would contribute Pinnacle Arcana treasures on behalf of Ice Summit Master.
Admittedly, Huge Axe Creator already possessed the Arcana treasure Divine Axe and had no use for Pinnacle Arcana treasure weapons, but he shouldn't treat Ice Summit Master so favorably, should he?
Which of these Universe Master didn't contribute to the race? Huge Axe Creator's actions were somewhat biased and truly unfair!
"Huge Axe…" Ice Summit Master had just opened his mouth.
He was interrupted by Huge Axe Creator raising his hand, "These four Pinnacle Arcana treasures are worth about 7000 Arcana Treasure Points. Consider them a loan from me; just return them later."
Then, Huge Axe Creator's gaze swept over the Universe Master and asked, "I lent Ice Summit Master 7000 Arcana Treasure Points. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No objections."
The Universe Master all shook their heads, their inner balance restored significantly.
It was fine if they had to be returned later; they were only afraid that Huge Axe Creator would give Ice Summit Master 7000 Arcana Treasure Points for free.
"The Cold Mist Realm is worth about 4000 Arcana Treasure Points; I will contribute it to the race," Ice Summit Master said.
At this moment, Ender interjected, "I have an idle top-tier Domain type Arcana treasure, 'Golden Glitter Domain', valued at around 3000 Arcana Treasure Points."
Upon hearing this, the Universe Master couldn't help but turn their gazes to Ender, knowing what Ender was about to say.
Indeed, Ender slowly said, "This Golden Glitter Domain and Master's Cold Mist Realm combined are worth exactly around 7000 Arcana Treasure Points, so there's no need for you, Huge Axe, to take out four Pinnacle Arcana treasures."
"Haha, these four Pinnacle Arcana treasures of mine are useless if I keep them, so I'll contribute them to the race as well."
Huge Axe Creator laughed, "From now on, the Pinnacle Domain type Spirit Weapon Arcana treasure 'daylight' will belong to Ice Summit Master."
"Void River Master is indeed the richest in the race. A top-tier Domain type Arcana treasure worth 3000 Arcana Treasure Points, just like that, given to Ice Summit."
"Ice Summit is lucky to have Void River Master as his Disciple. First, he obtained a Xeon Arcana treasure, and now he's been given 3000 Arcana Treasure Points."
"Only Void River Master could do it. Even Primal Chaos City Lord would find it very difficult to produce 3000 Arcana Treasure Points."
The Universe Master no longer objected, and their hearts were filled with envy, unable to help but sigh secretly.
Even Desolation Master, Void Gold Master, and other Fifth-rank Universe Master felt a bit envious when they saw Ender gifting such an Arcana treasure as Golden Glitter Domain to Ice Summit Master.
This was 3000 Arcana Treasure Points, enough to exchange for a top-tier flying palace type Arcana treasure, which was a huge fortune even for them.
One must know that the Domain type Arcana treasures used by these newly promoted Fifth-rank Universe Master were only top-tier Domain type Arcana treasures.
And Lancang Master, Lord of Absolute Darkness, and others, who possessed Fourth-tier combat power by relying on the Burning Divine Power Secret Technique, mostly used higher-quality High-grade Arcana treasures for their Domain type, Soul type, and flying palace type Arcana treasures. Even if these three precious High-grade Arcana treasures were combined, they wouldn't reach 3000 Arcana Treasure Points!
Desolation Master looked at Ice Summit Master, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
Now that Ice Summit Master had obtained 'daylight', the last weak point in his treasure configuration was filled. His strength was probably no less than Primal Chaos City Lord's.
The Virtual Universe Company lineage, with Ice Summit Master, Primal Chaos City Lord, and Darkness Master, three Sixth-rank Universe Master, and also Long Xing Lord, a Fifth-rank Universe Master, far surpassed the Huge Axe Dojo in strength.
Desolation Master secretly thought, "I wonder if Ice Summit has any thoughts of establishing his own power. I should mention it if I get the chance…"
"As expected of Master, 3000 Arcana Treasure Points just like that, gifted to Ancestor."
Boya looked at Ender, who was sitting to the right of Huge Axe Creator, feeling a bit excited.
She saw that Ancestor Ice Summit Master didn't object, which clearly meant he agreed to the 3000 Arcana Treasure Points gifted by Master. She guessed they must have discussed it in secret, otherwise, with Ancestor's personality, he would have refused.
When she thought of Master's promise that he would lend her the Apocalyptic Beast Visage Armor once her strength reached the Third-tier without using the Burning Divine Power Secret Technique, she couldn't help but feel admiration.
Master was the wealthiest person in the race; even Huge Axe Creator wasn't as rich as Master!
The Six Xeon Arcana treasures in the Treasure Vault of the Race were all temporarily stored by Master. Throughout the entire Universe Ocean, there were likely no other powerhouses who possessed so many Arcana treasures.
...
Huge Axe Creator saw that the Universe Master were no longer speaking and had reached a consensus on Ice Summit Master acquiring 'daylight', so he said, "I was surrounded by Shock Demon Ancestor, Dream Demon Ancestor, Zerg Empress, and Mechanical Race Father God in Flowing Overlapping Mountains."
"Huh? Huge Axe Creator was attacked by four True God. Will he be in danger?!"
Star Prison Devil Lord was startled upon hearing this, then relaxed, "I remember the palace-type Arcana treasure that Void River Master temporarily stored in the Treasure Vault of the Race. Huge Axe Creator always carries one with him."
"With a palace-type Arcana treasure, even facing the siege of four True God, Huge Axe Creator should not be in mortal danger."
Boya's eyes showed surprise, "Shock Demon Ancestor, Dream Demon Ancestor of the Demon race, Zerg Empress, and Mechanical Race Father God are attacking Huge Axe Creator?" Compared to Star Prison Devil Lord and Boya, Ender and others appeared very calm, and some Universe Master even showed expressions of surprise.
"Where did they get the audacity to attack Huge Axe Creator?"
"The four True God from the three races don't know Huge Axe's and our Human Race's strength, so they probably think they have a good chance of making Huge Axe surrender."
"Back then, not long after Huge Axe Creator obtained the Divine Axe, he alone defeated the combined forces of Divine Eye Race's Third True Master and Sixth True Master, making the Divine Eye Race, which possessed seven True God, bow down and surrender."
"Shock Demon Ancestor, Dream Demon Ancestor, Zerg Empress, and Mechanical Race Father God probably got a severe beating from Huge Axe Creator."
The Universe Master conversed in low voices, many speaking with smiles and schadenfreude.
The four True God from the Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race were formidable, each equivalent to possessing an Arcana treasure. But facing Huge Axe Creator, who could make the Divine Eye Race bow down, their strength was clearly insufficient!
Moreover, these four True God belonged to three different races and were not united. When they combined, they could at most exert eighty to ninety percent of their individual strengths, and none would be foolish enough to sacrifice themselves for others.
The conversation among the Universe Master greatly surprised Star Prison Devil Lord and Boya, and the expressions in their eyes changed constantly.
Through the conversations of the other Universe Master, they finally understood that Huge Axe Creator's strength was so formidable that he once made the Divine Eye Race, which possessed seven True God, bow down.
With Huge Axe Creator's formidable strength, wouldn't their Human Race firmly sit on the throne as the Original Universe's number one power!
"The outcome of the siege by Shock Demon Ancestor and the other four True God, you all guessed it, they bowed down and surrendered."
Huge Axe Creator smiled, "To apologize and to return our four Pinnacle races to the previous competitive situation, the three races paid a huge price."
"A huge price?"
"What huge price?"
"Could it be that the three races each compensated with multiple Pinnacle Domain type Arcana treasures?"
While the Universe Master speculated, they couldn't help but turn their gazes to Huge Axe Creator, waiting for him to reveal the final answer.
Amidst many expectant gazes, Huge Axe Creator smiled, "Each of the four True God from the three races must contribute 100 star zones of Universe territory and one Pinnacle Arcana treasure."
As Huge Axe Creator's words fell, it immediately caused a commotion.
"The three races are actually willing to cede Universe territory, and 400 star zones at once!"
"Haha, 400 star zones of Universe territory, for our Human Race, is worth no less than multiple top-grade Pinnacle Domain type Arcana treasures."
"400 star zones of Universe territory, if it were in a remote area of the Universe like the Northern Territory Alliance, it might be comparable to 2000 star zones."
"More than that! The Universe territories of our four Pinnacle races are the most essential areas of the Original Universe. One star zone is equivalent to 10 star zones in a remote area, which is not an exaggeration."
"Besides the 400 star zones of Universe territory, the three races also need to contribute four Pinnacle Arcana treasures."
"Just four Pinnacle Arcana treasures, worth only 6000-7000 Arcana Treasure Points. How can that compare to 400 star zones of Universe territory?"
The Universe Master discussed excitedly and joyfully. Universe territory is crucial for the development of a race.
The Human Race also obtained Ancient Inheritance, which can increase the probability of Human Geniuses becoming Universe Venerables by two or three times. The Human Race alone, during one period of Original Star's opening, gave birth to many Universe Venerables.
And with the addition of 400 new star zones of Universe territory, the Human Race will give birth to even more Universe Venerables, and even Universe Master, in the future!
"The race's territory has expanded again, and by 400 star zones at once."
Primal Chaos City Lord had a smile on his face, and his heart was filled with emotion, "After Master was suppressed by the Original Universe, our Human Race lost a large amount of territory."
"Now, with the rise of Void River, our Human Race has grown stronger and finally successfully reclaimed most of the lost territory."
Before Ender's rise, the Human Race, though ranked among the six Pinnacle races, always walked on thin ice.
Because the Human Race had no Arcana treasure, Huge Axe Creator had to keep a low profile, not daring to expose his true strength, fearing that it would bring disaster to the race.
But with Ender's rise, the overall strength of the Human Race improved significantly. Universe Venerables could exchange for cheaper Arcana treasures, and Universe Master had better High-grade flying palace type Arcana treasures for protection.
After Ender went to Flowing Overlapping Mountains once, it became unstoppable. The Human Race suddenly gained many Arcana treasures, and in the subsequent long years, many Sixth-rank Universe Master.
In terms of strength, the Human Race was already the hidden number one power in the Original Universe, it just hadn't been exposed to the entire Original Universe.
"This time, I was able to defeat Shock Demon Ancestor, Dream Demon Ancestor, Zerg Empress, and Mechanical Race Father God, thanks to the Xeon Arcana treasure Divine Axe gifted to me by Void River."
Huge Axe Creator turned to look at Ender, who was on his right, "Void River, of the newly acquired 400 star zones of territory, I will gift 300 of them to your Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
Silence!
All the Universe Master sitting at the long stone table were silent, many of them showing astonishment. They hadn't expected Huge Axe Creator to do such a thing.
Ender also looked at Huge Axe Creator in surprise. 300 star zones of Universe territory were just directly gifted to Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company.
This made Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, which originally had no territory, instantly become the third-ranked Leviathan of Humanity in terms of star zone ownership, after Virtual Universe Company and Huge Axe Dojo.
Currently, the combined star zones owned by the top three giants already exceed 1200!
Whereas the Universe Star River Bank, Universe First Bank, and Universe Mercenary Alliance combined only own nearly 200 star zones, even less than the newly established Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company.
Peng Gong Master, the leader of Universe Star River Bank, had a calm expression. He had no objections to Huge Axe Creator's decision.
Qingdong Master, the leader of Universe First Bank, kept his eyes lowered, showing no expression on his face.
Desolation Master, the leader of Universe Mercenary Alliance, looked a bit gloomy, but unexpectedly, he didn't speak.
The other Universe Master had various expressions, and likewise, they did not speak, thus creating a silent scene.
Mainly, they truly had no reason to try and dissuade Huge Axe Creator.
Ender gifting Huge Axe Creator the Arcana treasure Divine Axe was the key for the latter to defeat the combined forces of the four True God from the three races.
A single Arcana treasure Divine Axe, in terms of value, far exceeded 300 star zones. Even nine Pinnacle Domain type Arcana treasures could not be exchanged for one Arcana treasure!
"the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company also has Universe territory!"
Upon hearing this, Boya's eyes filled with joy, forming a stark contrast with the other Universe Master.
Seeing the silence, Huge Axe Creator's gaze swept over the Universe Master and he said softly, "As for the ownership of the remaining 100 star zones, each party, except for Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, will receive 20 star zones."
As his words fell, Desolation Master and others showed surprise, not expecting that they would also receive ownership of 20 star zones.
"Huge Axe!"
Upon hearing this, Void Gold Master immediately couldn't help but speak.
