Chapter 308, The Agreement
Inside the Temple of the Giant Axe, all was quiet.
A lean man in dark red cloud-piercing armor stood at the end of the stone table, facing the twenty or thirty top human powerhouses—universe lords and the strongest beings in the universe whose every step could shake the pinnacle of the universe—and uttered those words.
Anyone present could clearly see that these were Luo Feng's true feelings; that's what he thought, and that's why he said it, without any other thoughts or feelings mixed in.
Faced with the invisible pressure from these twenty or thirty top experts of the clan, he was able to calmly express his thoughts. In their eyes, Luo Feng's determination and resolve were unparalleled.
Without considering other factors, this disciple of the Shadow Blade Master has potential no less than that of the eldest disciple, Venerable Qingmei. In the future, it is not impossible for him to actually sit at this table and be on equal footing with them!
"We understand your thoughts." The savage giant with disheveled hair spoke from the head of the table, his gaze sweeping over the other high-ranking officials present before finally settling on Ye Muxuan, who wore a simple white robe. He said, "Muxuan, for a mere disciple like you to withstand the pressure of so many universe lords and say these words, it means this is your true thought. However, Earth's importance is far too great. You must have some solution in mind."
"Gentlemen." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, stood up this time. His clear and dark eyes swept over the cosmic lords and the strongest beings in the universe present. He spoke, "The value of Earth is very important, but Luo Feng is the current lord of Earth and the leader of the Earthling lineage. His persistence is more important to me personally than one or two supreme treasures."
"If he relinquishes control of Earth today under pressure from us, the masters of the universe, he might very well become the next Yan Emperor!"
"Today he can resist temptation and uphold his principles for the sake of Earthlings; tomorrow he can fight for our race. Let us entrust our backs to him with peace of mind!"
Luo Feng, standing at the end of the stone table, silently lowered his head.
Currently, the strongest and highest-ranking individuals on Earth are him and Hong; the two of them uphold the dignity of all humanity. How could he not know the importance of Earth to his people when his teacher, a cosmic ruler capable of annihilating thousands of nation-states with a single blow, personally sought him out for a conversation?
He had thoroughly explained the pros and cons to him back then, and now, at the highest meeting, he stood by him, shielding him from pressure from the other twenty-odd universe lords. Though called a teacher, he was actually more noble than most fathers.
"Luo Feng is different from Yan Di. Yan Di is selfish and self-serving. Fighting alongside him is an insult to me." Although he rarely speaks at meetings, the Ice Peak Lord, whose words carry great weight among the universe lords of his clan, suddenly spoke. His incomparably handsome face turned to Luo Feng. "Luo Feng, if you can sit with me in the future, I will give you a supreme treasure as a gift."
While the Lord of Ice Peak isn't quite as taciturn as the Dark Demon God, the Lord of Martial Might, he still rarely speaks. However, the current Lord of Ice Peak is a top-tier fifth-order Universe Lord, and if you include his natal array plate and the Annihilation, he's definitely a sixth-order Universe Lord. His status within the clan is comparable to that of the Lord of Void Gold, the leader of the Giant Axe Arena, and he's a promising candidate to become one of the strongest beings in the universe, following in the footsteps of the Lord of Desolate Mirror and the Lord of Azure East.
Being able to sit with him naturally means that Luo Feng has become the master of the universe. His words now clearly indicate his inclination to support Luo Feng.
"Everyone understands how important Earth is. If Luo Feng's strength is too weak, he truly doesn't deserve to possess the best resources. Therefore, I have an idea that can solve this problem." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, looked at the twenty-nine powerful figures and one domain lord present and said, "I'd like to make a pact with you all. First, if Luo Feng can successfully challenge the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm lord level event, then for the time being, you need not mention Earth again. What do you say?"
The Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, serves as a benchmark for human geniuses. Those who have conquered it, barring premature death, have nearly a 50% chance of becoming Venerables. The last one to succeed was Venerable Qingmei, Qing Shuang, and before that, Koti, a direct disciple of the Chaos True God. Currently, among geniuses at this level, Venerable Shi Huo is already a top-tier overlord, and Venerable Qingmei is a unique powerhouse among overlords.
"If he can conquer the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a realm master level being, then it proves he is among the strongest geniuses of the human race and truly deserves full ownership of Earth," the Lord of Desolate Mirror said, his majestic gaze sweeping over the universe masters present, as well as Luo Feng. "But qualifications mean nothing, and talent doesn't guarantee future strength. Converting talent and potential into strength is very difficult, extremely difficult!"
Among the hundreds of human superpowers in the universe today, many were once dazzling geniuses who rose to prominence, but only a few have taken that step and are qualified to sit with them.
"So the second thing is to give Luo Feng some time to grow. As long as he can truly have the strength to sit down with us, the ownership of Earth will no longer need to be discussed. What do you think?" Ye Muxuan's voice rang out, echoing in the ears of many universe lords.
Does the Shadow Blade Master acknowledge that Luo Feng will definitely become the Lord of the Universe in the future?
Why is he so confident? Is it because his roots are also on Earth? Or is it because Earth once produced the Venerable Mingwu?
Or perhaps it's because Luo Feng is the most outstanding genius among Earthlings of this generation?
"How long? We can't wait for him to reach billions of epochs. For a race, the earlier Earth is developed, the more its strength will increase. If Luo Feng needs billions of epochs to become the master of the universe, then this agreement is meaningless," the Lord of Desolate Mirror asked.
"I'll give you a trillion epochs. How many Universe Lords can you cultivate?" The Mingwu Venerable, seated at the back of the stone table beside Luo Feng in dark red armor, suddenly spoke. "I've only cultivated for a little over 500,000 epochs. Within this agreed timeframe, I can support Luo Feng to become a Universe Lord within 500,000 epochs!"
"Since returning from Liuchong Mountain, besides taking on disciples, I've also been thinking about the next steps. Huangjian and Qingdong, let's see who takes this first!"
The usually taciturn and reserved Lord Mingwu, at this moment, took a firm stance in support of Ye Muxuan and Luo Feng.
However, as soon as he said this, even the four strongest beings in the universe, including the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos God, turned their attention to him.
The Venerable Lord Mingwu has actually decided to strive to become the strongest in the universe! You must know that before this, the Lord of Desolate Mirror and the Lord of Azure East had been in seclusion for tens of thousands of epochs, and they were still one step away from becoming the strongest in the universe!
"Five hundred thousand epochs—"
"If it were five hundred thousand epochs—"
"I believe this disciple doesn't need 500,000 epochs to sit with us." Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, interrupted the other universe lords. His gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Luo Feng, and he said, "It only took me a little over a thousand epochs to cultivate to become a universe lord. This agreement will be made in a thousand epochs!"
"If Luo Feng becomes the master of the universe within a thousand epochs, the matter of Earth need not be mentioned again, how about it?"
For the Lord of the Universe, ten million years is a very short time. A single period of seclusion to create a secret technique can last for hundreds of millions of years. If Luo Feng succeeds in becoming the Lord of the Universe within this time, then he will be a genius who surpasses Ye Muxuan!
"Luo Feng, are you willing to make this agreement?"
Faced with his teacher's words, Luo Feng, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the more than twenty highest-ranking members of the clan present, and resolutely declared in an unwavering tone: "Teacher, this disciple is willing to make this agreement!"
"Within ten million years, I will become the master of the universe!"
