Chapter 458: Shocking the Cosmos (Seeking Subscription)
Queen Mother Wanhua was decisive. Seeing that the Galaxy Starlord had reached the level of 'unmatched at the twelfth tier', she chose to concede.
To continue would only result in a futile drain on their racial foundation.
Up to this point, the Insectoid race had already expended a lot for this ultra-large-scale battlefield war.
Nearly a hundred supreme weapons, numerous eleventh-tier avatars, and the activation of the Life Essence to maintain balance—that was one-tenth of the life essence of ten perfect eleventh-tiers.
It would take an unknown amount of time and effort to recover from this.
It could be said that as long as the queen mothers of the Insectoids were unharmed, the race would be as stable as Mount Tai.
However, if there was an interruption in the succession of eleventh-tiers, then in the next trillion or even quadrillion years, the Insectoids might not be able to birth a new twelfth-tier queen mother.
Meanwhile, the other peak races would not stand still; perhaps they would give birth to more twelfth-tier ultimates.
If the number of twelfth-tiers in other races increased while their own race failed to keep up, it would be tantamount to decline.
If this went on, the status of the Insectoids among the twelve peak races would decline.
As for the price of conceding?
It was merely one-ten-thousandth of their domain, which the Insectoids could still afford.
"This Galaxy Starlord is extremely powerful in all aspects and far surpasses the limits of a perfect eleventh tier. Just how did he do it? Could it be related to that ultimate opportunity the Human Civilization obtained?"
Queen Mother Wanhua gazed at Lin Yuan from afar, wanting to glimpse some secrets, but they were all blocked by Xuanyuan Supreme Power.
In terms of strength, the Xuanyuan Supreme Power was by no means inferior to her, the oldest queen mother of the Insectoids. In a desperate battle, Queen Mother Wanhua even held the disadvantage.
Among the dozens of twelfth-tier ultimates in the cosmos, the only ones that the Xuanyuan Supreme Power feared were the two twelfth-tier ultimates of the Plundering Race.
However, the ultimates of the Plundering Race dared not use their full strength within the universe, as they risked being suppressed by the Cosmic Will.
"It's just a loss in this ultra-large-scale war. When the next ultra-large-scale war begins, we can prohibit the Galaxy Starlord from participating." Queen Mother Wanhua thought to herself.
The ultra-large-scale battlefield was jointly opened by the various twelfth-tier beings, and the rules of the ultra-large-scale war were naturally set by these supreme beings.
Whether it was a large-scale war or an ultra-large-scale war, the numerous twelfth-tier ultimates would also set some rules, such as prohibiting the avatars of ultimates from participating in the war.
The so-called battlefield was meant to constrain the destruction caused by battles to a certain range. If the avatars of supreme beings were allowed to fight freely, there would be no point in having a battlefield.
The battles of the twelfth-tier were not something that a battlefield could restrain; the destruction they caused would affect the entire universe.
After witnessing the power of the Galaxy Starlord, Queen Mother Wanhua had already decided to join forces with the other peak races to set new battlefield rules.
That was to add the Galaxy Starlord to the list of prohibited participants.
"Xuanyuan, I wonder if you can return our twelfth-tier weapons? Rest assured, we can exchange them for other resources."
Queen Mother Wanhua thought for a moment before speaking.
Many of the twelfth-tier weapons bestowed this time had fallen into the hands of the Galaxy Starlord, and Queen Mother Wanhua intended to retrieve them through normal trade channels.
"That would depend on the thoughts of the Galaxy Starlord," the Xuanyuan Supreme Power said with a smile.
In order to encourage Human Evolvers to go to the battlefield, the Human Civilization Alliance had long established a rule that any gains made by Evolvers on the battlefield belonged to the individual.
The Human Civilization could, at most, make suggestions but not decisions.
This was especially true for the Galaxy Starlord; he had the highest right of disposal over everything he obtained.
"Galaxy Starlord, what do you think? You can make a request as long as it's something my Insectoid race has."
Queen Mother Wanhua looked at Lin Yuan, her gaze soft and her tone gentle. Even the strongest eleventh-tiers, let alone those weaker ones, would be unable to resist falling for her.
"I'll consider it," Lin Yuan said calmly.
If the Insectoids offered enough resources to satisfy him, he wouldn't mind exchanging them for twelfth-tier weapons.
After all, Lin Yuan was just one person and couldn't use so many twelfth-tier weapons at the same time.
As for trading with the Human Civilization? It was estimated that they wouldn't be able to handle so many twelfth-tier weapons in a short period of time.
If the Insectoids regained these twelfth-tier weapons, would it lead to a recovery of their foundation and pose a threat to the Human Civilization? The Insectoids should be the ones truly worried. Once these six hundred plus supreme weapons were converted into resources for cultivating the *Xuan Huang Body*, Lin Yuan estimated that he would be able to push it to perfection at the eleventh tier.
An eleventh-tier perfect *Xuan Huang Body*, based on Lin Yuan's physical foundation, was estimated to be able to push his physical body to the twelfth tier.
At that time, aside from his spiritual will and rule comprehension, Lin Yuan's physical body would also enter the realm of supreme beings.
His spiritual will, rule comprehension, and physical body would all be at the supreme level.
"Consider it?" Queen Mother Wanhua fell silent for a moment, then her figure disappeared, returning to the Nightmare Palace.
The strongest eleventh-tier Insectoid below looked at Lin Yuan with a complex expression before turning and leaving without hesitation.
Since the opening of the universe, even the most powerful eleventh-tier lives would tremble before the twelfth tier. Even the Mother of the World Tree and the Four God Kings in their peak state were no exception.
However, the Galaxy Starlord was fearless. While this was partly due to the support of the Human Civilization, the Galaxy Starlord's own strength was also key.
With the Insectoids withdrawing from the ultra-large-scale war, the twelfth-tier ultimates of the other peak races looked at each other and also made their decisions.
Like the Insectoids, they chose to withdraw from the war, conceding the initiative of the battlefield.
They had no choice. Originally, the united force of the eleven peak races was crushed by the Galaxy Starlord, and their weakened life essences were as good as useless.
Now that the Insectoids had taken the initiative to withdraw, there was even less hope of resisting the Galaxy Starlord. Rather than continuing to send their race's powerhouses to their deaths on the battlefield, it was better to withdraw.
"Hahaha, thank you all for your graciousness."
The Xuanyuan Supreme Power looked at the many twelfth-tier ultimates, and the other eight Human Supreme Powers were also grateful.
Since the Star Sea Calendar, the Human Civilization had generally held the upper hand in their wars against foreign races, but they had never had it so easy.
An ultra-large-scale war of such magnitude had only taken ten years to conclude? And that was because the peak races had spent these ten years preparing to deal with the Galaxy Starlord.
"Xuanyuan, don't be complacent. No matter how strong the Galaxy Starlord is, when he challenges the ultimate tier, he will still face the risk of complete annihilation."
"Indeed, when challenging the ultimate tier, even with an extremely robust foundation, it only increases the odds of success. Whether or not one can enter that realm still depends on luck."
Although the twelfth-tier ultimates had conceded the initiative of the battlefield, they were not weak.
When an eleventh-tier life challenged the ultimate tier, luck played a significant role as long as all other conditions were met.
If the Galaxy Starlord was unlucky, even if he were ten or a hundred times stronger, he would still fail.
"Hahahaha!"
"Lin Yuan, you really didn't give those old fellows any face."
In the virtual world, Summer Solstice Supreme Power looked at Lin Yuan with a pleased expression, his joy evident.
In the past, the Human Civilization Alliance had won many wars, but it was the first time that the peak races had conceded so thoroughly, leaving them dispirited.
"It's a pity that such an opportunity only comes once."
Summer Solstice Supreme Power sighed.
"Once?"
Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback.
He recalled Summer Solstice Supreme Power mentioning that the ultra-large-scale battlefield would initiate an ultra-large-scale war once every 100,000 years.
While 100,000 years might seem like a long time, for mid-to-low-tier Evolvers, and especially for ninth-tier and above Evolvers, it was but a fleeting moment.
Lin Yuan's plan was to master the Chaos Rule and then challenge the Ultimate Tier, so he intended to remain at the eleventh tier for a while.
Perhaps he could even wait for the next ultra-large-scale war to begin.
"By the next ultra-large-scale war, those old fellows will definitely not let you participate."
Summer Solstice Supreme Power explained, almost certain of this outcome.
"Not let me participate?"
Lin Yuan was a little perplexed.
"If you were allowed to participate, they would be signing up for defeat." Summer Solstice Supreme Power shook his head. "If the outcome of the war is a guaranteed loss, who would join?"
"So, before the next ultra-large-scale war begins, those old fellows will definitely establish new rules to prohibit your involvement." Summer Solstice Supreme Power continued.
Before this ultra-large-scale war, Lin Yuan hadn't displayed any remarkable strength; he had only just entered the eleventh tier.
But after annihilating tens of thousands of eleventh-tier lives, it was too late—the war had already started, and the rules couldn't be changed midway.
However, by the next ultra-large-scale war, the major peak races would undoubtedly add new rules, and Lin Yuan was almost certain that he wouldn't be permitted to set foot on the battlefield.
"I see."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Wars were like gambling; participants needed to see a chance of winning.
If there was no hope at all, naturally, no one would join. If the Human Civilization continued to let Lin Yuan participate in ultra-large-scale wars, the other eleven peak races would likely refuse to engage in the next one.
"To be able to influence the rule-making of an ultra-large-scale war as an eleventh-tier life is probably a first in this universe, and you'll also be the last."
Summer Solstice Supreme Power couldn't help but feel impressed.
He was also grateful that Lin Yuan belonged to the Human Civilization.
If a similar life had appeared in another peak race, he would have had a massive headache—no different from the attitude of those twelfth-tier ultimates.
"Right, Xuanyuan asked me to inquire about your plans for those twelfth-tier weapons. Those old fellows want to exchange resources for them."
Summer Solstice Supreme Power asked.
It wasn't just Queen Mother Wanhua who had this idea; the twelfth-tier ultimates of the other peak races also intended to trade resources for their respective twelfth-tier weapons.
After all, out of the six hundred plus twelfth-tier weapons Lin Yuan had acquired, a significant portion was suitable for the corresponding races. It wasn't as simple as losing one twelfth-tier weapon and then finding a new one to replace it.
Suitability was crucial.
For a twelfth-tier ultimate skilled in spearplay, would you give them a sword instead? It would undoubtedly affect their strength.
"What do you think, Supreme Power?" Lin Yuan asked.
If possible, Lin Yuan preferred to keep these supreme weapons within the Human Civilization.
"You should trade with those old fellows. Our Human Civilization doesn't have enough resources to trade with you." Summer Solstice Supreme Power understood Lin Yuan's intention and replied immediately.
The amount of resources required to trade for six hundred plus supreme weapons would be astronomical—perhaps only the combined efforts of the other eleven peak races could manage it.
"No problem."
Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.
After all, these supreme weapons originally belonged to the eleven peak races.
"Good."
"Tell me your requests, and I'll convey them to those old fellows."
Summer Solstice Supreme Power said.
With over six hundred supreme weapons in his possession, Lin Yuan was in a position to make demands, and the peak races would have to oblige.
News of what had transpired on the ultra-large-scale battlefield, especially the entrance of Queen Mother Wanhua, spread like wildfire throughout the countless races of the universe. They all learned that the Galaxy Starlord had not relied on any ultimate foundation but had single-handedly crushed tens of thousands of eleventh-tier lives with his own strength.
Strong races, ordinary races, and even weak races—all of them came to know of this astonishing news.
"Did the Galaxy Starlord defeat tens of thousands of eleventh-tier lives without any external help?"
"Are we sure the Galaxy Starlord isn't an eleventh-tier? Could he be a twelfth-tier ultimate in disguise?"
"That's impossible."
"The information should be accurate. The twelfth-tier ultimates have already given up the ultra-large-scale battlefield and withdrawn from the war."
"I heard that the Galaxy Starlord's spiritual will has reached the twelfth-tier level. This was personally confirmed by Queen Mother Wanhua herself."
"Spiritual will at the twelfth-tier level? How did the Galaxy Starlord achieve that?"
"Yeah, I find it incredibly difficult to improve my spiritual will, yet he's reached the twelfth-tier level?"
Insanity.
Countless lives across the universe, including those in secluded secret realms, learned of this news. The Galaxy Starlord, with his own power, had crushed tens of thousands of eleventh-tier lives, some of whom had possessed supreme weapons. On top of that, his spiritual will had reached the twelfth-tier level.
This news caused an even greater stir than when the Galaxy Starlord had advanced to the twelfth tier.
While there were other twelfth-tier ultimates in the vast universe, none had ever displayed such unprecedented growth as the Galaxy Starlord.
"How old is the Galaxy Starlord again?"
"Not even a thousand years old."
"He's not even a thousand years old, and he's achieved all this? Are we sure the Galaxy Starlord isn't a twelfth-tier ultimate in disguise?"
"Yeah, I think so too. Is that twelfth-tier ultimate toying with us?"
"Are you stupid? If the Galaxy Starlord were really a twelfth-tier ultimate, would he have been allowed to enter the ultra-large-scale battlefield so smoothly? Wouldn't the other twelfth-tier ultimates have stopped the slaughter of their own race?"
In the boundless universe, with its countless races and lives, everyone was discussing the Galaxy Starlord. While there were some doubts, the fact that the other twelfth-tier ultimates had voluntarily relinquished control of the battlefield suggested that the information about the Galaxy Starlord was likely genuine.
If Lin Yuan's ascension to the eleventh tier at the age of five hundred had made him famous throughout the stars, what happened on the ultra-large-scale battlefield would now shake the entire universe.
