Dressed in a pristine white robe, Ye Muxuan waved his hand, and a magnificent palace appeared in the starry sky. In the vast plaza before the palace, a set of wooden tables and chairs materialized. Ye Muxuan sat on the chair carved from the trunk of a tree branch, holding a dark green wine bottle, and looked at the Mountain-Sitter opposite him, saying, "Would you like a drink?"
The guest sitting atop the azure mountain peak glanced at the tables and chairs, then nodded. He took a step forward and landed on the chair opposite Ye Muxuan.
"Not bad."
The ability to craft a set of tables and chairs from a World Tree branch is something no one in the entire primordial universe could achieve. When others obtain a World Tree branch, their first choice is to nurture an avatar, and the second is to plant it in their divine kingdom as a Tree of Life to stabilize the kingdom. It's outrageous that the Shadow Blade Master would use it to craft a set of tables and chairs.
"This is a top-tier primordial treasure that I helped the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds obtain in the Cosmic Sea a few years ago. It was a gift from the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, along with this bottle of Ice-Fire Fruit Wine." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, raised the dark green wine bottle in his hand, poured a glass into each of the two crystal-clear wine glasses, and then sealed the bottle cap. "To this day, you are the first guest for whom I have served Ice-Fire Fruit Wine."
The Nine Nether Lord's true form, the Nine Nether Ocean, is so powerful that even the strongest beings in the universe would despair. However, the Nine Nether clone that walks in the primordial universe and even the cosmic sea is actually only barely at the fifth rank, not even reaching the peak of the fifth rank. Moreover, it carries very few treasures and is prepared to abandon the clone at any time.
Moreover, for the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, a top-tier primordial treasure is more important than a peak-grade supreme treasure. Therefore, when Huang's clone and the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds unexpectedly met and joined forces to seize the treasure, it could be considered a mutually beneficial arrangement.
"This palace is quite nice. It seems you have both skill and luck." The Mountain Guest picked up his wine cup, smelled it, and then drank it all in one gulp.
The wine was good, but that's about it.
"Luck is also a part of strength." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, finished his wine. "This is the Bixiao Palace. I came across it a few years ago on the edge of the core area of the Qingfeng Realm. It's been quite handy with me."
"Even the most powerful treasures and palaces are easily at your disposal. The Shadow Blade Master is incredibly wealthy, and the human race also possesses many powerful treasures." The Mountain-Sitting Guest put down his wine cup and looked at Ye Muxuan, as if trying to see through him.
Every supreme treasure, even the least valuable weapon, can cause a bloodbath, potentially leading to the fall of the universe's strongest beings. The time at Liuchong Mountain, it was because of the birth of Mojun that the Gluttonous Cloth Demon Lord perished.
Now, humanity has seven publicly known supreme treasures—including the recently acquired Southern Green Branch—and now, the Shadow Blade Master has quietly obtained a palace-level treasure, further deepening the human race's foundation.
"No matter how precious a treasure is, it is ultimately just an external object. What is needed to overcome reincarnation is one's own strength." Ye Muxuan looked at the Mountain-Sitting Guest and spoke slowly. "Moreover, even a True God's treasure is not worth celebrating."
"So the old mechanic wasn't wrong back then, you really did receive the legacy left behind by the ancient civilization, right?" The Mountain-Sitting Guest's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke slowly. The Mechanical Race's Father God had strongly advocated for an alliance of the three races to wage war against humanity and the Hong Alliance, while also trying to win over some lone universe lords and the strongest beings in the universe, among whom the Mountain-Sitting Guest was one of the targets of their efforts.
However, the mountain dweller scoffed at this.
In the three great cycles of the cosmic sea, there was no such thing as a "true god," nor was there any such thing as a "true god's supreme treasure." It is obvious where they came from.
"Senior, would you be interested in joining the Hong Alliance?" Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, asked as he filled the wine cup in front of the Mountain Guest.
"Then let me be the leader of your Hong Alliance?" Zuo Shan Ke looked at Ye Mu Xuan with a half-smile.
Ye Muxuan smiled and said, "How could that be?"
Not to mention that the Giant Axe Founder possessed tenth-tier combat power thanks to the "Annihilation" technique, the Chaos True God and Peng Gong True God both had ninth-tier combat power, and the Dark Demon God was also quite powerful. Currently, apart from the two holy land universes, the human race is showing signs of becoming the number one power in the cosmic sea. Even if those True Gods had all perished in battle, the human universe lords still had their own pride and wouldn't allow a non-human, strongest individual to become the leader of the Hong Alliance.
The difference between the human race and the Divine Eye race lies only in the quantity and quality of their Universe Lords. However, the human race, belonging to the primitive universe era, still has the opportunity to produce Universe Lords and the strongest beings in the universe, and holds infinite possibilities. The Divine Eye race can only hope that the Divine Eye True Lord can break through the limits and transcend reincarnation.
But what he couldn't achieve in two multi-cycle eras, he could accomplish in this one? If he could, he would have done it long ago!
"If you join the Hong Alliance, I can make the decision that you can receive a suitable portion of the inheritance." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, looked at the Mountain Guest. "With this combined with your unparalleled treasure-refining techniques, you might be able to advance even further."
In the starry sky, on the square of Bixiao Palace, the Mountain-Sitting Guest remained silent for a long time before shaking his head.
A hint of disappointment flashed deep in Ye Muxuan's eyes.
"Rest assured, I will not interfere with any beings born on that planet, whether they are human or not. If they can leave the universe, I will not take action as long as they do not pose a threat to my race." Ye Muxuan looked at the Mountain-Sitting Guest and spoke slowly. "I can roughly guess some of the possible truth, but if they pose a threat to my race, please don't blame me for being ruthless. After all, I am human, and now I also need to protect the weak."
"You can tell?"
"Both the Heart Array and the Will Array are incomplete. The senior combined these two incomplete arrays using treasure-refining techniques, creating this unique method that covers this starry sky. Especially that planet that serves as the core array eye; the beings nurtured there possess stronger and easier-to-break mental states, allowing them to go further in the future. However, the drawback is that once they have a mental knot, they will be trapped there, like Mingyu, until the knot is untied," said Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe. "If Mingyu hadn't perished there because of the Star Tower, he would probably be a True God now. He has a strong mental state, naturally suited to the path of a controller or illusionist, but there's a saying that even the best swimmers can drown."
A doctor cannot heal himself. If he doesn't resolve his inner conflict, he'll never become a true god, let alone the ruler of the universe.
"You brought him here to help him resolve his inner conflicts?"
"In the end, he was the only remaining bloodline of the original Origin Star. We, the Qingyuan Clan, are now just a name, and have no connection with the original Origin Star anymore. His ability to advance further is his own good fortune. Moreover, a Universe Lord, or even a True God, may not be important to our predecessor, but they are quite important to the human race."
The man sitting on the mountain nodded.
"Rest assured, I will instruct Mingyu not to actively interfere with the growth process of those beings. As for whether they can be cultivated into beings that satisfy the senior and can recognize the Star Tower as their master, I will not interfere either." Ye Muxuan put away the Bixiao Palace, stepped into the starry sky, and looked at the Mountain Guest. "However, if they pose a threat to the human race, I do not mind nipping them in the bud."
This was the third time he had brought up this issue; for a cosmic ruler with the power of a true god, this was tantamount to a direct warning.
