Original Universe, Demon Clan Territory.
A Black and White Striped Giant Tiger suddenly appeared in the starry sky, its body exuding a powerful Divine Power pressure, as it looked down at the life planet below.
"This is the last life planet in my Domain,"
the King Immortal Black and White Striped Giant Tiger whispered, "According to the Venerable's command, I need to gather all the race members from all the life planets under my command into the world ring…"
At first, it didn't quite understand why the Venerable would issue such a command.
But as it contacted many King Immortal, it learned that it wasn't the only one who received this command; it was all King Immortal who had territories!
At this point, it finally understood that the race was ordering them to relocate their race members!
Whoosh!
A wave swept across the entire life planet, and all the Demon Beasts on the planet, whether hunting, mating, or sleeping, disappeared into thin air, directly moved into the world ring.
"Relocate, why relocate?"
The Black and White Striped Giant Tiger looked down at the empty planet, now devoid of any Demon race life, feeling very confused in its heart, "My Demon race is the strongest Pinnacle race, could it be that for some reason we have to hand over our territory to other races?"
"Alas…"
Despite its confusion, it still had to obey the Venerable's command, teleporting away through the Divine Power in a white light, leaving only a sigh behind.
Just for a moment.
In the distant Void of the same star sector, after teleporting through Divine Power and Space Teleportation, it arrived near an Ice Cold Giant Elephant emitting a chilling aura.
"Venerable, all the Demon race members from the life planets in my Domain have been brought,"
the Black and White Striped Giant Tiger said respectfully, then the world ring on one of its sharp claws flew out, heading towards the Ice Cold Giant Elephant nearby.
"Mm," the Ice Cold Giant Elephant responded, "You can return to the Demon Ancestor Secret Realm first. The race will assign you a new Domain soon."
"Yes," the Black and White Striped Giant Tiger replied respectfully, then Space Teleportation away.
In various star regions within this star sector, many Immortal, after collecting their race members with world rings, gathered before various King Immortal.
Soon, one King Immortal after another brought their world rings and presented them to this Ice Cold Giant Elephant.
After a long time—
"All life in this entire star sector is now with me."
When the last King Immortal left, the Ice Cold Giant Elephant looked at this starry sky and sighed softly, "Ever since the race opened up this star sector, I have been guarding it.
"I thought that until I permanently fell during some adventure, this star sector would still belong to the race, but I never expected that I would be responsible for relocating the race members away…"
"200 star sectors, not only all the race members within the territories, but also the race members and allied races in the Universe Secret Realm, will all be relocated."
The Ice Cold Giant Elephant looked at the starry sky and sighed, "The hundred-year period is approaching, it's time to leave…"
Whoosh!
A brilliant light shone, and it also left this starry sky, which it had guarded for countless years, through Divine Power Teleportation.
Not just the Demon race.
As the hundred-year period approached, the relocation work for 100 star sectors each of the Zerg and Mechanical Race was nearing completion.
For the two races, 100 star sectors of territory each accounted for about one-eighth of their total territory area.
Handing over 100 star sectors meant a huge loss for both races!
…
Virtual Universe, within a special plane.
Amidst endless Chaotic airflow, 300 tall thrones formed a circle, with human Universe Venerables seated on them.
"The Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company summoned us this time, I wonder what it's for. Is there some major operation that requires our participation?"
"Hey, we all received 1 Arcana Treasure point, and the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company also told us that they wouldn't let us participate in overly dangerous missions."
"After all, we are just High-level Venerables, at most we would participate in treasure hunting on Original Star, but even a treasure hunting operation isn't worth 1 Arcana Treasure point."
"That's true. It's probably that the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company has something that requires a large number of High-level Venerables, and the Venerables of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company are notoriously few."
"Among us, there are also Venerables from the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, but only Venerable Night Bright and Venerable Aurora have come."
"Venerable Bloodwing is a management member of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company and also possesses an ordinary Domain-type Arcana Treasure, so he probably doesn't care about 1 Arcana Treasure point."
"Guessing is useless, let's wait for the great existences like Void River Master and Phantom Blood Master to arrive."
"Yes, once the great existences arrive, we'll know what it's about."
Some High-level Venerables with good relationships secretly exchanged messages, guessing what the mission was.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the Chaotic airflow in the sky surged, and two incomparably majestic thrones appeared out of thin air, standing above the circle formed by the thrones of the Universe Venerables.
On the two majestic thrones, there were two even more majestic and great figures, hidden within the Chaotic airflow, their appearances unclear.
And when the two majestic thrones appeared, all the Universe Venerables present stopped their discussions and bowed their heads in respect.
Ender's solemn and majestic voice resounded in the ears of all the Universe Venerables, "You are all Powerhouses chosen by the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company from among numerous Universe Venerables."
"The reason we chose you is because our human race will open up 400 High-level Universe Countries, and among them, 300 Universe Countries belong to the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
"You will go to these 300 High-level Universe Countries to serve as their Country Lords, to guard a region for our human race and for the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, and to protect the weaker race members to multiply and thrive in these 300 High-level Universe Countries."
Upon hearing Ender's words, all the Universe Venerables present were astonished and shocked, and when they looked at those beside them, they saw that the other Venerables were likewise.
The news that the race would open up 400 High-level Universe Countries at once was truly too shocking!
What surprised them even more was that the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company would actually own 300 of these High-level Universe Countries.
Such shocking news couldn't help but make them secretly speculate, could it be that the newly opened 400 High-level Universe Countries had a great connection with the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company?
"Soon, the race will hold a supreme meeting to announce this matter,"
Ender's voice sounded again, "The reason for informing you in advance is to hope that you can prepare earlier, so that your Immortal subordinates can lead their respective Family forces to the newly opened High-level Universe Countries in the future."
"Alright, meeting adjourned."
As his voice fell, the two majestic thrones vanished without a trace.
"Yes!"
The Universe Venerables respectfully responded, even though the two great Universe Masters had already left.
However, soon, many Universe Venerables began to converse in low voices.
"The race has newly opened 400 High-level Universe Countries. When did this happen? How come I haven't heard any news?"
"It's normal. For such a major event as opening High-level Universe Countries, we Universe Venerables only know a little earlier than the Immortal. Wasn't it the same last time when the race annihilated the Muqi Alliance?"
"Last time the race annihilated the Muqi Alliance, we Universe Venerables at least participated, and even many Powerhouses from the Hong Alliance participated, and that only opened 4 High-level Universe Countries. But this time it's a full 400 High-level Universe Countries!"
"Precisely because 400 High-level Universe Countries are being opened, we only found out after the matter was confirmed, after all, it's a major event that only Universe Masters can participate in."
"A whole 400 High-level Universe Countries, I wonder where the race obtained them from. It couldn't be the Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race, could it?"
"I don't know either, but besides the Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race, most of the territories adjacent to our human race are allies, so it's unlikely they could gather 400 High-level Universe Countries…"
A group of Universe Venerables conversed, all curious about the newly opened 400 High-level Universe Country territories, so some of them sought out Venerable Night Bright and Venerable Aurora.
"Night Bright, do you know where these 400 newly opened High-level Universe Countries of the race came from?"
"I don't know. When I first heard this news, I was also very surprised."
"Venerable Aurora, do you know?"
"No."
"You don't know? Alright, it seems only the great Lords of the Great Universe know about this matter."
Seeing that no one present knew, all the Universe Venerables teleported away one by one, waiting for the race to hold the supreme meeting.
…
Virtual Universe, the palace above Myriad Creations Island.
In front of the stone table on the plaza before the hall, Ender and his Disciple Boya sat on their respective thrones.
"Teacher, since the race is going to hold a supreme meeting, there's no need for us to summon those Universe Venerables, right?"
Boya had just summoned 300 Universe Venerables with Ender, and she was a bit curious about this.
Ender said softly, "If we don't summon them in advance, how will they know that the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company owns 300 of the newly opened High-level Universe Countries?"
"So that's it." Boya realized when she heard this.
Huge Axe Creator only said at the supreme meeting that the development task for the 400 newly opened High-level Universe Countries would be handed over to the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company and the Huge Axe Dojo.
And issues like the ownership of High-level Universe Countries would likely not be explicitly stated at the race's supreme meeting, so explaining it in advance was correct.
"Let's go, to the Pantheon Mountain to wait for the supreme meeting to begin."
Ender said, then left with Boya.
…
Virtual Universe, Pantheon Mountain.
As the email for the supreme meeting was sent out, all Universe Venerables gathered here.
The halfway point of the Pantheon Mountain was the gathering place for elementary, intermediate, and High-level Venerables.
After a group of Universe Venerables teleported to the Pantheon Mountain, they began to quietly converse with those they had good relationships with.
Among them, many Universe Venerables were puzzled by the convening of this supreme meeting, as the race had already held one before the Original Star opened.
Now, with the Original Star not yet closed, another supreme meeting was suddenly called, which greatly surprised and puzzled them.
"Not long ago, 100 Universe Venerables from my Huge Axe Dojo were summoned, and I was one of them,"
a High-level Venerable told his friend, "The reason this supreme meeting is being held is because the race has opened up 400 High-level Universe Country territories, and 100 of them belong to my Huge Axe Dojo."
Upon hearing this, the Universe Venerable who also belonged to the Huge Axe Dojo laughed proudly, "Haha, my Huge Axe Dojo owns 100 High-level Universe Countries! Truly worthy of being the human race's number one Leviathan of Humanity."
Another Universe Venerable said with a strange expression, "I just heard that the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company owns 300 High-level Universe Countries in the newly opened territory."
"What? How is that possible?!"
"The Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company was just established, how could it own more territory than my Huge Axe Dojo?"
Upon hearing this, the two Universe Venerables from the Huge Axe Dojo immediately showed astonished expressions.
