Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Upon seeing Yuan, the Ice Peak Ancestor immediately struck up a friendly conversation, completely forgetting the unpleasant incident that occurred when Yuan last visited the Ice Peak camp.

Among the three major factions, the Ice Peak Ancestor is arguably the most politician-like.

Unlike the naturally formed chaotic life camp that fabricated the concept of a common origin, and the oppressed acquired cultivator camp, the Ice Peak camp was established thanks to the Ice Peak Ancestor.

Unfortunately, it had inherent flaws from the very beginning of its construction, and these flaws were difficult to remedy. The Ice Peak Ancestor could only make repairs and keep the broken ship running.

"Ice Peak".

Yuan nodded, his expression softening considerably. Back when he was a lord in the cultivator camp, their relationship was one of life-and-death bond, and the two had ventured together through the endless Chaos Origin Space.

Even when the Ice Peak Ancestor decided to establish a faction, he recruited Yuan.

Unfortunately, as the cultivators' camp grew stronger, the relationship between the two sides gradually drifted apart.

After all, I'm not afraid of my brother living a bad life, I'm afraid of my brother driving a Land Rover.

Although the cultivators were previously suppressed by the innate chaotic life force, it was a war in which both sides went all out. Even though the cultivators were at a disadvantage, their strength was still recognized by the entire chaotic space.

If the Ice Peak faction were in that position, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer.

“Brother Yuan, you know how difficult it is to manage such a large camp, and I don’t want to start a war with you,” said the Ice Peak Ancestor.

"However, after this period of discussion, we have decided to return all the occupied territories and not let this small matter damage our friendship."

"Just a refund? According to the Star Lord's investigation, you have been plundering and devouring many Origin World sources during this period."

"Can these things be compensated simply by returning the territory?" Yuan said coldly.

The eight lords also released a strong killing intent. When they arrived at the territory occupied by the Ice Peak faction, the tragic scene there was too much for them to bear.

If it weren't for their lack of strength and inability to overcome the immortality, the lords would have already been unable to restrain themselves and directly attacked.

Although the three emperors of Wind, Thunder and Sea mainly occupied the world cluster, other Primordial Ancestors of Chaos also came to take advantage of it. In any case, it was the Origin World that was lost, so it didn't matter to the three emperors. They were doing the same thing themselves.

Upon hearing Yuan's words, the Ice Peak Ancestor frowned slightly. In his view, the Ice Faction's willingness to back down was already the limit. Were a few world groups really that important?

“Since you’ve decided to back down, you must show it. The resources you’ve taken from our world group must be returned in full. Otherwise, our lord will take them back tenfold,” Yuan said.

“This condition is fine!” The Ice Peak Ancestor relaxed his furrowed brows.

Well, anyway, it has nothing to do with him; he didn't steal any resources.

"Ice Peak!"

Upon hearing this condition, the three emperors of the Wind, Thunder, and Sea immediately became somewhat anxious.

Even the Wugu Ancestor, who had been somewhat indifferent to the matter, changed his expression.

There are quite a few resources, and they have already used them all. If they are to return them in full, then they will have to draw resources from their own treasury.

They seized the cultivators' territory, but gained nothing and now have to give it back. All the small sacrifices they made were a complete loss.

"If you're unwilling, then go to the cultivator camp yourselves and see if they can offer better terms," ​​the Ice Peak Ancestor said coldly.

The Three Sovereigns and the Wugu Ancestor immediately shut up. If they went to negotiate themselves, there would be absolutely no room for resistance.

Lord Yuan's deeds are still fresh in everyone's memory; he directly seized someone else's hometown.

"The Three Emperors of Wind, Thunder, and Sea, if any of you dare to skimp on anything, I will kill you every time you appear in the Chaos Origin Space," Lord Moman declared.

"you!"

The three emperors of the wind, thunder, and sea wanted to make some tough threats, but they were disappointed to find that the person who made the threats was actually capable of doing so.

If we really did that, the loss would be far more than just a little bit of resources; we might not even be able to leave our homes.

“Brother Yuan, you’ve already made a decision. Our Ice Peak faction will also leave immediately.” The Ice Peak Ancestor smiled and said, “I’m sorry, we were indeed in the wrong this time.”

“I don’t want to force you like this either,” Yuan said, shaking his head.

"However, I am now a member of the cultivators' camp, and it is my duty."

……

Chapter 972 Each choice

"Phew, finally it's solved."

Yuan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the departing figures of the Ice Peak Ancestor and the others.

Whether out of past friendship or current strength, Yuan does not want to start a major war with the Ice Peak faction.

The naturally formed, primordial life force needs rest and recuperation, and so does the cultivator force.

The affairs of the new lord, the restoration of the occupied world groups, the maintenance of territories, and so on... there are quite a few things to do.

"Yuan, I'm sorry for putting you and the Ice Peak Ancestor in this predicament." Lord Jin came to Yuan's side.

"Haha, they made their choice when they were recklessly occupying our territory." Yuan shook his head, merely expressing his feelings.

Although he had a very good relationship with the Ice Peak Ancestor, even to the point of being sworn brothers, they eventually chose their own side.

Given the Ice Peak Ancestor's prestige and influence within the faction, how could he possibly fail to restrain the Ancestor from encroaching on the cultivators' world groups? The entire faction is named after him.

To put it bluntly, it's still about letting things run wild, feeling that they should prioritize meeting the demands of their own faction while disregarding the cultivators.

After all these events, Yuan had already seen through it all. The Ice Peak Ancestor was just on good terms with him, and still didn't care about those weak cultivators. In essence, he was still a member of the Hunyuan lineage.

We can only say that we are different and cannot work together.

If this mindset doesn't change, no matter how close their relationship is, it will eventually fall apart.

"A naturally born chaotic life form still possesses immense power!" Lord Minghuang sighed.

To be precise, apart from the eight lords, all the other Hunyuan progenitors originated from naturally born Hunyuan beings, and there is a fundamental difference between the two.

There is only one camp called "Innate Primordial Life," but these progenitors are essentially one entity and do not regard those who cultivate later as life.

Those ordinary cultivators are the source of the lords. If you don't treat these lives as human beings, then it's the same as not treating them as human beings at all.

Although the Primordial Ancestor of the Endless Primordial Space values ​​the lords, he still doesn't regard the cultivators as a group.

"But the future belongs to us," the Star Lord said confidently.

Although he couldn't see the future of the endless primordial space, it didn't stop him from making inferences based on the information he already had.

The reason why the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the others were desperately trying to suppress the cultivators was because they could clearly see the threat.

“Indeed, the situation changed from the moment the stars appeared,” Yuan said confidently.

The Star Lord has multiplied the territory of the cultivator faction and can even manage it in an orderly manner.

The appearance of the source further stabilized the crumbling cultivator camp, giving it invincible defensive capabilities.

If another lord were to arrive, the cultivators' camp would be able to continue expanding outwards.

"Haha, I believe it won't be long before it's our turn to actively invade the territories of the naturally formed chaotic life forms," ​​the Golden Lord laughed.

"How can this be called an invasion? The area where the Origin World is located should rightfully belong to us cultivators." Lord Minghuang said solemnly, "Those naturally born chaotic beings should all go back to the mysterious land."

“To contend against all naturally born chaotic life forms on one’s own is no easy feat,” Yuan said with a smile.

To achieve this level of success, even doubling the number of lords wouldn't be enough.

Those top thirty Hunyuan Ancestors were no less powerful than the lords, and the top ten Hunyuan Ancestors even surpassed some of the lords.

They only managed to block the invasion of the naturally formed chaotic life force; they were still far from dominating the endless chaotic space, and the insufficient number of lords was a major weakness.

"Regardless, all 3,600 world clusters in the cultivator's territory have been recovered, ushering in a new beginning!" Yuan's smile vanished.

“It is indeed a new beginning.” The Star Lord nodded. “Now that all these invaders have been driven out, I can finally begin to repair the spacetime network.”

The Spacetime Network is the most important treasure in the cultivator's territory. It has the power to cover the entire territory and can penetrate deep into the spacetime.

Most primordial beings, unless they are proficient in the principles of time and space, would find it difficult to completely destroy the spacetime network.

However, this war was impacted by numerous Hunyuan life forms, and the outer spacetime network became dilapidated, urgently requiring repair by the Star Lord.

"I'll have to trouble you with this, Starlight!" Yuan said.

The repair of just a few hundred world clusters' spacetime network would take Star Lords thousands of epochs and a large number of precious treasures.

"And Yuan, after this, he should also be invited to the Eternal Land."

Previously, due to his life core, Lu Yunhe had a fatal weakness, which is why the Eternal Land did not send him an invitation.

Now that the Mysterious Land has been refined and its weaknesses eliminated, it is fully capable of securing a place in the Eternal Land.

"The Eternal Land, the most mysterious and powerful secret realm in the endless primordial space," said the Star Lord.

"Although the progenitor of Hunyuan was able to enter, the level of exploration inside was very low. No one has figured out the actual situation for so long, so it can only be regarded as a gathering place."

“I’ve been there too, and I didn’t find anything. It’s not as good as the Abyss of Destruction,” said the Gold Lord.

"In that case, it seems we really do have to make a trip."

After confirming that the Ice Peak faction had completely left, the eight lords also departed one after another, each returning to their own territories.

Lu Yunhe was also responsible for bringing his Sanhe Territory back to the Dark World Group and placing it in the heart of the cultivator camp.

As a mysterious place openly displayed by the cultivators' faction, the lords will also shift part of their faction's focus to the Three Kingdoms Territory.

The original land remains the last trump card of the cultivators' camp, not easily revealed to outsiders.

In the event of the most dangerous situation, the Initial Land and the Three-in-One Territory, one outside and one inside, can support each other and prevent the cultivators' camp from being completely destroyed.

Compared to the original land, Sanheling is actually a bit inferior, but the naturally occurring primordial life forms nurtured within it make up for this.

As long as Lu Yunhe doesn't deliberately suppress it, the Sanhe Territory will definitely be able to continuously nurture Hunyuan life.

However, since the first thing they did was to enslave, it's likely that the later-born Chaos Origin beings would want to force themselves back into slavery.

"Sigh, losers have no rights!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the naturally born chaotic life forms within the Three Harmony Territory. Compared to the source world that was directly destroyed, at least they were still able to survive.

Origin Continent!

Although major wars break out from time to time in the outside world, these source worlds close to the heartland remain very peaceful and are almost undisturbed.

"Master!"

"Master!"
