Chapter 602: The Expansion Meeting! Kunwu Supreme’s Proposal!
TL: Etude freeωebnovēl.c૦m
In the Heaven Region, the 16 Heavenly Princes mostly belonged to the pinnacle tier, with many at the third level of the pinnacle tier, and only two at the Eternal tier.
The strongest among them was a second-level Eternal Prince. This individual aimed to challenge the first level of the Eternal tier, which was why he had not yet attempted to reach the Galaxy level. Otherwise, there would be only one Eternal Prince left in the Heaven Region.
Prince Qin Chen, whom Ye Tian was familiar with, was not present. Prince Qin Chen had already advanced beyond the Great God level and reached the Galaxy level. As for his current whereabouts, Ye Tian had no idea.
Though they knew each other, they were not close friends. Ye Tian naturally did not concern himself with Qin Chen’s movements.
Ye Tian welcomed the arrival of the 16 Heavenly Princes and hosted a banquet in their honor. At the banquet, Ye Tian presented some of his rare treasures, which were quite ordinary to him but extremely valuable to these Great God Princes.
Instantly, everyone marveled at Ye Tian’s generosity. The banquet concluded quickly, and the Princes left with smiles on their faces. Throughout the event, no one dared to challenge Ye Tian. As Great God Princes, their privileges were high, and it wasn’t difficult to investigate Ye Tian’s achievements.
They were well aware that Ye Tian was already a Supreme Prince, and certainly not an ordinary one. His combat strength was extraordinary, and even though he had recently reached the ninth level peak of the Great God stage, he possessed the combat power of a first-level Eternal Prince. Therefore, they did not dare to provoke Ye Tian.
What they could never have imagined was that Ye Tian, upon initially reaching the Great God peak, had already attained the combat power of a Supreme Prince and had even reached the level of the Child of the Era in both the God and True God stages. If they had known this, they would have been utterly shocked and dumbfounded.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed since the banquet. Ye Tian had become accustomed to life in the Heaven Region, spending his days cultivating. The opportunities in the Heaven Region were of little use to him, and the Supreme Hall of Humanity was well aware of this. Hence, they never assigned him tasks or training with other Princes.
One day, Dominator Dark brought Ye Tian astonishing news. “Your Highness, humanity’s isolation has ended; we have officially made contact with the myriad races of the universe!” Dominator Dark announced.
“Has the Celestial Race project been fully exposed?” Ye Tian asked.
“Yes!” Dominator Dark nodded. “Although humanity tried hard to conceal the Celestial Race project, other major races in the universe naturally became suspicious when we isolated our territories and sent many scouts to investigate. While we killed some of these scouts, a few managed to escape. The Immortal Race, the Demon Race, and other races have long known about our secret of transforming into Celestials. Recently, the Immortal Race and the Demon Race publicly revealed this information. Consequently, some major races demanded that we hand over the method to become Celestials.”
“What was the outcome?” Ye Tian asked.
“A battle ensued. After transforming into Celestials, Primordial Supreme and Kunwu Supreme’s strength increased significantly. In one battle, they killed a powerful Supreme and five ordinary Supremes, striking a severe blow to the prestige of some major races. However, humanity’s transformation into Celestials is now well known among the major races, and it can no longer be hidden. Therefore, the Supremes decided to lift the isolation. Nonetheless, only a small portion of humanity has transformed into Celestials; complete transformation will take several thousand more years.”
“However, it is enough. Most of humanity’s top powers have transformed into Celestials, and our overall strength has greatly increased. Furthermore, the number of Dominators and Universal Gods has also risen significantly, giving us the confidence to face any danger,” Dominator Dark continued.
Ye Tian nodded in agreement. Furthermore, continuous isolation hindered humanity’s development. The universe’s resources were incredibly abundant, and humanity could not solely rely on their homeland for growth. They needed to compete for resources from other regions to fill their resource gaps. Continuous isolation would exclude them from these competitions, leaving their resources stagnant.
Lifting the isolation allowed humanity to engage with the outside world, continuously acquiring new resources and growing stronger.
A few years later, in the Human Saint Domain, Holy City! Holy City was a unique city established deep within a spatial realm. Only Dominator-level forces, Supreme-level forces, or itinerant cultivators above the level of Universal God could enter. This city, also known as the City of Transactions, served as one of the temporary headquarters for humanity’s upper echelon.
All important meetings involving the nine Supreme-level forces and the Supreme Hall of Humanity were held here to facilitate discussions among humanity’s leaders.
One day, Kunwu Supreme and several other Supremes arrived in Holy City. Nine of the twelve Human Supremes attended, along with six ordinary Supremes and several high-ranking Heavenly Venerables. Approximately fifty of humanity’s highest-ranking figures gathered for this meeting.
As the meeting was about to begin, its most significant figure arrived. The void rippled, and a masked figure in a black robe appeared at the meeting. All the Supremes and Heavenly Venerables knew that this figure was the Primordial Supreme, but it was only a clone, not his true self.
The location of Primordial Supreme’s true body was a top secret within the human race, known to fewer than five people, each of whom had sworn oaths never to disclose it. This secrecy was to ensure the safety of humanity; having Primordial Supreme as a hidden ace deterred other major cosmic races from truly confronting humanity, fearing his retaliation.
“Greetings, Primordial Supreme!”
“Greetings, Primordial Supreme!”
“Greetings, Primordial Supreme!”
The high-ranking members of the human race greeted respectfully. This meeting was initiated and presided over by Primordial Supreme.
“Everyone, we are all old friends here, so let’s dispense with the formalities. You all understand the purpose of this meeting. Currently, humanity faces numerous external threats, but our development cannot be delayed. Especially now, as we are transitioning into Celestials and our lifespans are greatly extended, cases of our descendants dying within a hundred years are becoming rare. Celestials have long lifespans, so the human population will only grow larger in the future. This will lead to severe overpopulation, and without sufficient territory to accommodate these people, it will stifle human development and exhaust our resources. Therefore, humanity must expand!” Primordial Supreme explained.
“Expansion is indeed necessary!” Kunwu Supreme agreed. “Initially, we had only one or two star fields. Now, we have expanded to thirty-six, but this is far from enough. The Immortal Race has thousands of star fields, as does the Demon Race. Some powerful cosmic races also have hundreds of star fields. Our human territory is too small; we must conquer more star fields.”
“The goal of this meeting is to decide our target!” Supreme Divine Blade stated.
The members then began discussing their opinions.
“Around us, besides some small clans that belong to us, there are several large higher races: the Dragon Clan, the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, the Phoenix Clan, the Eight-Armed Clan, and the Black Armor Clan. There is also a weaker cosmic race—the Ghost Clan. I think we should target the higher races since the cost would be smaller.”
“Although higher races are weaker, their territories are small. Even if we conquer several of them, it won’t help humanity much. Moreover, higher races don’t necessarily lack high-end combat power. For instance, the Dragon Clan has three Supremes, who are quite powerful. Defeating them would come at a certain cost. If not for their small numbers and lack of Universal Gods or Dominator-level power, the Dragon Clan could potentially advance to a weaker major cosmic race.”
“How about targeting the Eight-Armed Clan? They aren’t strong, having only one Supreme, and that too just an ordinary Supreme. Although they have many members, they are generally weak. However, the Eight-Armed Clan only has one star field, so conquering it wouldn’t help us much!”
After extensive discussion, no unified suggestion emerged.
At this moment, Kunwu Supreme spoke up, “I propose targeting the Ghost Clan. Although they are not weak, with three powerful Supremes and eight ordinary Supremes, they have a significant weakness—they fear light and the power of the sun. By exploiting this weakness, we can conquer their star fields with minimal cost.”
“But the Ghost Clan’s star fields are dark and unsuitable for human habitation!” an ordinary Supreme pointed out.
“Transformation!” Kunwu Supreme suggested. “We can transform the Ghost Clan’s star fields. With our cultivation, creating some suns is not difficult, just time-consuming. The Ghost Clan has ten star fields. Conquering them would vastly expand our territory.”
“But what justification do we have for attacking the Ghost Clan? If we attack without reason, it will likely unite other cosmic races against us,” a Heavenly Venerable questioned.
Kunwu Supreme remained silent for a moment before responding, “We can provoke the Ghost Clan into attacking first, giving us a reason to retaliate. This way, the other cosmic races will have less cause to trouble us. I have thought of a plan to provoke the Ghost Clan.”
“What plan?” The other Heavenly Venerables and Supremes were curious, even Primordial Supreme was intrigued.
“I recall that we share a jointly governed world with the Ghost Clan called the Netherworld, a unique realm accessible only to those below the Great God level. The Netherworld contains many treasures suitable for the Ghost Clan. If an ultimate Yin treasure of the strongest Supreme Treasure level appears there, the Ghost Clan would likely go mad and dispatch many Great Gods to the Netherworld. At that time, we can eliminate their Great Gods, driving the Ghost Clan into a frenzy,” Kunwu Supreme proposed.
