Chapter 282 The Emperor Yan's Jealousy (3.8K)
Chen Yuan was naturally completely unaware of what was happening outside the Beast God Realm.
After the Soul Devouring Beast clone returned, his four clones all entered a state of focused cultivation, either comprehending the laws or studying the secret patterns.
Because Chen Yuan's clones all possess top-tier talent in understanding the laws, they progress rapidly in comprehending them. Moreover, he also has many treasures to aid in his comprehension.
For example, he studied the laws of space and time, and wrote "Notes on Space and Time" and "Records of Original Research".
These two optimized secret techniques, when studied, can bring about a comprehension effect equivalent to 30% of that of the Chaos Stele. Combined with the special environment of the Beast God Realm, his two laws of spacetime have improved rapidly. Every year in the primordial universe, he can see a visible improvement.
Chen Yuan didn't neglect the fundamental laws either. During his time in Chaos City, his Soul-Devouring Beast avatar purchased a secret manual for studying the essence of the fundamental laws. After optimizing it, he gave it to his Abyss Whale avatar to comprehend.
In addition, there were the insights gained from the memories of "Shang Hou" back then, which were 99.99% of the basic laws, and their guidance to the Abyss Whale clone was no less than that of the Chaos Stele.
And so, with the four avatars each performing their duties and fully immersed in cultivation, time seemed to be fast-forwarded and flowed by rapidly.
While Chen Yuan was focused on his cultivation, the effects of mass-produced equipment such as armor and souls began to gradually appear among the human race in the primordial universe.
Thanks to the combined efforts of the five major forces, these equipment are being produced at an astonishing rate.
Of course, even though the production speed of this type of equipment is already extremely fast, it is still in short supply compared to the huge number of people who want to buy it.
After the news spread, countless realm lords and immortals were constantly monitoring the internal shops of various forces.
As soon as a piece of equipment is listed in the treasure vault, it will be snapped up instantly by countless powerful players who have been waiting for a long time.
Unlike the Realm Lords, most of these immortals who purchased the armor did not come from the extraterritorial battlefield, but rather from ancient beings within the 1008 Universe Kingdom.
These immortal groups have been rooted in various ancient kingdoms for countless years, not only forming a huge power but also accumulating a considerable amount of wealth.
Compared to ordinary immortals who broke through on the battlefield outside the domain, this group of immortals from ancient kingdoms was obviously much wealthier and more numerous.
What's even more interesting is that even though this group doesn't usually need to fight, their pursuit of top-tier armor is even more fervent than that of immortals who come from the battlefield.
Therefore, this behavior resulted in most of the armor produced by the five major powers flowing into the countries of various universes, with only a small portion being bought by people from the extraterritorial battlefields.
This situation clearly went against the original intentions of the five major powers. After a brief discussion among their leaders, the five major powers unanimously closed their purchasing channels from within the universe.
Meanwhile, the five major powers jointly stipulated: Want to buy battle armor? Sure! But you must enter the extraterritorial battlefield and obtain sufficient military merits to qualify for purchase!
Otherwise, we'll wait until all the warriors in the extraterritorial battlefield are fully equipped before gradually opening up the qualifications.
Even equipment that had been successfully purchased by the Cosmic Nation's Immortals but had not yet been shipped, the five major powers directly canceled these transactions, refunded the fees, and put the goods back on the shelves.
This operation was obviously not very friendly to the immortals in the universe kingdom, but it was indeed beneficial to the front-line battlefield. Moreover, it came from the joint orders of the five major powers, so these immortals had no choice but to accept it, even though they were helpless.
As a result, after the purchase eligibility was increased, all the equipment produced by the five major forces flowed into the extraterritorial battlefield.
During this period, the human realm lords and immortals all temporarily withdrew from the battlefield and returned to their respective barracks to await the arrival of their equipment.
The leading powerhouses retreated, and the soldiers below the realm lords naturally followed suit. For a time, there were hardly any human powerhouses to be seen on the entire outer battlefield.
All the alien races on the battlefield were dumbfounded, because they discovered that as time went on, fewer and fewer human soldiers remained on the battlefield, until finally not a single human could be found.
Not only that, even the human allies gradually disappeared, as if they had withdrawn from the battlefield along with the human warriors.
The alien races that discovered this anomaly quickly reported it, and the alien venerables in charge of battlefield affairs found that this was happening on more than one battlefield.
Rather, it was all eleven extraterrestrial battlefields where all human powerhouses had vanished—no, not all of them.
These alien venerables discovered that in the most dangerous areas of the major battlefields, the human powerhouses at the peak of the King realm and above had not left.
"What's going on?"
This bizarre situation baffled the alien venerables. They sent people to inquire of the human king-level powerhouses, only to receive enigmatic smiles in return.
The smugness in that smile convinced the alien venerables that the human race was brewing some kind of plan, so they all reported it. Soon, the ancestor of the demon race, the father god of the mechanical race, and the queen of the insect race all learned of the situation.
However, before they could come up with a solution, the human warriors who had withdrawn from the battlefield returned.
Soon, the alien races understood the reason for humanity's disappearance—the human warriors who returned to the battlefield were all equipped with uniformly styled armor.
Then, the human warriors, now much stronger, began to chase and fight the alien races.
In the low-to-mid-level war zones of the entire extraterritorial battlefield, the other three major races suffered complete defeats. Even if the alien races united, they could not withstand this newly revitalized human army.
"What's going on? How did they suddenly become so strong?!"
"Ika! How did your strength increase dozens of times? Spare me, spare me—" "Beware of humans in armor!"
"The strength of the human immortals has generally increased dozens of times! The increase in the strength of the realm lords is even greater, and they can even catch up with the high-level military lords!"
As many alien races perished, information about the human race was leaked out before their deaths.
This news quickly reached the hands of the alien progenitor.
"Is this the armor of the Flame God Clan? Could it be the Flame Emperor?"
"Emperor Yan! Are you going to return to the human race?"
"Is this armor, exactly the same as the Yan God Clan's, and also a treasure that enhances soul strength? Is this your private stash, Yan Emperor?"
The knowledgeable ancestors of the alien races immediately recognized that the human warriors were wearing the armor of the Flame God Clan, which had shone brightly in the tribal wars. Even the Zerg Queen and the Dream Demon Ancestor discovered that, in addition to this armor, the human race also possessed a treasure that could enhance the soul.
Thanks to this treasure, the human warriors have extremely strong soul resistance, and the mentalists are even more terrifying in strength.
Therefore, these alien ancestors unanimously sent messengers to Emperor Yan, questioning him about whether he had chosen to return to the human race.
Inside the highest main hall of the void palace complex surrounded by three continents in the territory of the Yan God Clan.
The Yan Emperor, who was in seclusion during his cultivation, suddenly received questions from the three most powerful clans, leaving him completely bewildered: "Me? Return to the human race?"
He looked down at the envoys from the three races and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on? Why do you three races believe that I want to return to the human race?"
"Your Majesty, Emperor Yan!"
Venerable Tianhua from the demon race bowed respectfully: "On the battlefield outside the four races, human warriors suddenly all wore the same armor. Relying on the power of this armor, the strength of human realm lords increased hundreds of times, and the strength of immortals increased dozens of times."
As he spoke, Venerable Tianhua glanced at the envoys of the other two races and continued, "Because of the existence of this armor, our three races suffered heavy losses on the battlefield outside the domain, while the human race achieved a great victory."
"This matter has been learned by the Dream Ancestor. The Dream Ancestor said that this is the armor of the Yan God Clan, and there is also such a treasure that can enhance the soul. The Dream Ancestor said that he had seen it on His Majesty the Yan Emperor."
"Therefore, the Dream Ancestor sent me here to inquire whether His Majesty the Flame Emperor has chosen to betray our three races and prepare to return to the human race?"
After Venerable Tianhua finished speaking, he looked at the envoys of the other two races, who also said in unison, "This is also the will of the Empress/Father God."
"The Flame God Clan's battle armor? And treasures that can enhance soul strength?"
Emperor Yan frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "Go back and tell the three ancestors that I am irreconcilably opposed to the human race and will never return to the human race in this lifetime."
"The appearance of these two treasures has nothing to do with me."
"This—" The three envoys looked at each other, and finally Venerable Tianhua said respectfully, "If His Majesty the Yan Emperor says so, we will naturally believe it."
He paused briefly before continuing, "However, the Ancestor said that if Emperor Yan had not betrayed us, then we hoped to obtain a method from him to fight against the human race."
"Now that the human race has acquired the technology of the Yan God Clan's armor, in order to fight against the human race, we urge Your Majesty the Yan Emperor to prioritize the overall situation and bestow upon the Yan God Clan's armor technology, or provide our three races with sufficient armor."
Upon hearing this request, Emperor Yan remained silent for a moment before saying, "May I take a look at the armor and soul treasures worn by the human race?"
"Of course." Venerable Tianhua took out a suit of armor and a ball of water, and said respectfully, "These are spoils of war that our clan obtained at a great cost. Your Majesty, please take a look."
Emperor Yan accepted the two treasures, examined them carefully, and his expression changed slightly.
Then he gently shook his head: "Please tell the three ancestors that these two treasures have nothing to do with my Yan God Clan."
"As for our clan's armor technology, there is absolutely no way it could be passed on to outsiders."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Furthermore, these armors cannot be used by races other than the Flame God Clan."
"This..." Venerable Tianhua exchanged glances with the other two envoys, their expressions hesitant, but they dared not offend Emperor Yan in this way.
He could only say, "In that case, I will report this matter back to the Ancestor."
"Alright." Emperor Yan nodded slightly, his tone calm: "Even if the ancestors come in person, my answer will not change. Just convey their message truthfully."
Venerable Tianhua was taken aback. He was tempted to ask for the two spoils of war back, but seeing the expression on Emperor Yan's face, he wisely refrained from bringing it up and could only respectfully say, "Then I shall take my leave."
After speaking, Venerable Tianhua left the main hall without further hesitation, and the envoys from the other two races also took their leave one after another.
After everyone left, only Emperor Yan remained in the main hall.
He raised his hand, gazing at the two treasures in his palm, and murmured to himself, "The Calamity Armor, and the offspring of the Primal Soul—"
"Teacher Zuoshanke, how biased you are!"
A look of jealousy suddenly appeared on Emperor Yan's face. He clenched his fist and crushed the two treasures completely.
"I am clearly your disciple, why do you favor the human race?"
Emperor Yan's expression turned somewhat ferocious. "It's one thing to steal the Jiazi body, but this original soul was a treasure bestowed upon me. Why can't the original soul sub-body be used by my Yan God Clan warriors?!"
No one knows the true thoughts of the person sitting on the mountain.
According to the arrangement of this God-King, the Calamity Armor was prepared for the future disciples of the Earth lineage, and was only temporarily lent to Emperor Yan.
The Primal Soul, on the other hand, is a supreme treasure belonging entirely to Emperor Yan. Through this treasure, Emperor Yan can completely compensate for the weakness of his soul caused by his race.
Become a strong person without weaknesses.
However, the offspring derived from the original soul are best suited for use by the Flame God Clan, as they can compensate for the Flame God Clan's soul strength, but the Flame God Clan warriors are unable to use these offspring.
Yes, according to the arrangement of the Mountain Guest, the Calamity Armor belongs to the Earth lineage, but only the Flame God Clan can use the Calamity Armor's offspring.
The original soul belongs to Emperor Yan, but the original soul's sub-body can only be used by Earthlings.
Emperor Yan naturally didn't understand the reason behind this arrangement, but since he had both the Calamity Armor and the Original Soul in his hands, he didn't care too much about the fact that the Yan God Clan couldn't use the Original Soul Sub-Body. In any case, the Calamity Armor Sub-Body could enhance the strength of the Yan God Clan.
However, all of this was shattered when the human race produced the Calamity Armor and the Primal Soul Sub-body.
Clearly belonging to the derivatives of the two great treasures, why would the related technology appear among the human race? There is only one possibility: the Mountain Guest has taken in a human disciple.
"If someone can be accepted as a disciple by Master Zuoshanke, then there is a high probability that they will become a lord of the Earth lineage."
Yan Di gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself down: "But this junior brother, it wasn't enough that you got the Star Tower and the Calamity Armor, you actually asked the teacher for the sub-body technology of the Calamity Armor's original soul."
"And what's more, they insist on using this technology to help humanity!"
Dissatisfied!
Given Emperor Yan's personality, he certainly wouldn't accept it.
"Why is it that when I asked my teacher about how to use the original soul sub-body for the Yan God Clan, he avoided the topic?"
"Why is it that the teacher immediately imparts these two techniques to you the moment you ask, junior brother!"
Yan Di's eyes turned bloodshot, consumed by jealousy: "Teacher, why are you so biased—."
"I'm clearly your disciple too!"
