Chapter 427 I'm Preparing to Unify the Primitive Universe
At this moment, apart from the original ancestor, the virtual universe company, and the tacit understanding between Giant Axe and Chen Yuan, the universe masters who were unaware of the truth were dumbfounded.
What's going on? Why is Giant Axe suddenly giving up his position as leader of the human race?
Everyone present was completely dumbfounded. The Primordial Lord had become the leader just like that?
"Shouldn't we take a long-term approach to this—"
Some people instinctively objected, but when they found that no one agreed with them, their voices grew weaker and weaker, and finally they simply shook their heads and swallowed back what they were going to say.
"Giant Axe".
Finally, Peng, the more senior leader, couldn't help but ask, "You were doing so well, why would you suddenly give up the leadership position?"
He then added, "Of course, I'm not against the Primordial Lord succeeding as leader; I'm just curious about your thoughts, Giant Axe."
Seeing that someone was taking the lead, the others chimed in, "Yes, we don't mean to object, we just don't understand why it has to be at this critical juncture."
"Changing commanders on the eve of war with the alien races is a grave taboo!"
"Giant Axe, can you explain why?"
Faced with numerous questions from high-ranking officials, the real reason was naturally inconvenient for Giant Axe to explain, but that didn't stop him from having already prepared a pretext.
He smiled faintly and said, "I understand your concerns. You feel that in the face of this crisis, the human race should prioritize maintaining stability, as any major action could shake the foundation of the race."
Everyone nodded; that was indeed their idea.
They actually have no objection to changing leaders.
After all, the Primordial Lord's strength was indeed worthy of the role of leader, and his contributions were not insignificant, not to mention that he brought the inheritance of ancient civilization this time.
The problem is that this happened at a time when the alien race was preparing to attack, and the human race was at a critical juncture of life and death. Giant Axe's move to change commanders at the last minute was truly beyond everyone's expectations.
Even if they are willing to accept the Primordial Lord, what about the Cosmic Venerables below them? How should the balance be maintained among the five major powers?
In such a situation, unrest is inevitable, which makes it even more difficult to deal with the war against foreign tribes.
"Actually, I didn't take the threat from the alien races seriously at all."
The giant axe calmly expressed his thoughts: "As long as the strongest beings in the universe are immortal, no alien race will dare to truly break off relations and start a great war with my human race."
"Within the primordial universe, no attack can kill the strongest, let alone one with supreme armor. Even if thousands of universe lords joined forces, it wouldn't work."
"And the strongest who has no scruples, when he retaliates, is something no race can withstand."
The giant axe looked around and said calmly, "As long as I don't die, I can temporarily take my human elites into a small universe and then launch a revenge attack on the alien races."
"In time, they will eventually compromise. Even the strongest lone warrior will have to back down under the will of the ancestors of each race."
"As for the ordinary lives that perished during this period, we can reverse time and space to revive them. Although there will be losses, they are still within an acceptable range."
"As long as these traditions remain, our human race will one day stand at the pinnacle of the primordial universe and become the most powerful race. This is the most crucial thing."
Giant Axe looked at everyone with a serious expression: "Do you understand?"
After hearing the giant axe's explanation, these people suddenly realized that the alien races were not so terrifying after all.
Yes, as long as the strongest being in their race doesn't die, even if they lose their territory, they will still have the protection of smaller universes. In short, they are unlikely to die.
They could even bring most of the human elites into the mini-universe to develop slowly.
As long as the tradition continues, powerful human races will continue to emerge. At that time, they may not even need to wait for the alien races to compromise before they accumulate enough strength to launch a counterattack and reclaim their lost territories.
As for the countless ordinary lives that perished during this period—as the giant axe said, once the territory is reclaimed, those who can be resurrected will be resurrected, and those who cannot will become the price for the rise of the race.
These people can still distinguish between what is important and what is not.
"That's right!"
"The giant axe is right. As long as the legacy continues, our human race will rise one day."
"We really cannot hand over our heritage to a foreign race."
"Let's start a war then! At worst, we'll all perish!"
Having cast aside their concerns, these high-ranking officials instantly regained their courage, forgetting their fear and showing a willingness to fight the alien race to the bitter end.
Giant Axe waved his hand, and after the scene quieted down, he said, "However, I also understand that as long as we refuse the demands of the alien race, even if they don't dare to fight us to the end, they will most likely gradually erode our territory and squeeze out the living space of the human race."
"So what we need to do next is to be patient! As long as the alien races don't launch a full-scale war, we can delay as long as possible."
"All the lords of the universe reside collectively within two major and two minor universes. In the event of a surprise attack by a large army, they immediately retreat to their minor universes."
"With me and the Primordial Ancestor here, no matter how strong the enemy is, as long as they dare to follow into the miniature universe, they will not escape death."
The giant axe's expression turned slightly serious: "What you need to do is cultivate the inheritance and do your best to improve your strength."
"In fact, as long as the alien races don't launch a full-scale attack, I will have to go into seclusion for a long time to sort out my own abilities through the inheritance and records, and strive to further improve my strength."
At this point, he turned his gaze to Chen Yuan and nodded slightly: "So in the time to come, I actually won't have time to continue managing the race. That's why I'm preparing to step down as leader and let Chen Yuan become the new leader to lead our human race to survive in the primitive universe."
After hearing these words, these people finally understood why Giant Axe had stepped down from his leadership position.
Indeed, after obtaining these inheritances, the most urgent task is to improve their strength as soon as possible. Only when these people become strong will they always arouse the fear of other races and prevent them from taking a desperate gamble.
The strength of the giant axe, in particular, is of paramount importance.
To put it another way, once Giant Axe's strength breaks through to the tenth rank and he becomes the undisputed number one powerhouse in the universe, then it will be the alien races' turn to worry.
Because a tenth-tier powerhouse can easily kill those ordinary universe's strongest beings, once the giant axe breaks through to the tenth tier, he can even trap all alien races within the primordial universe and kill them one by one as they come out!
After all, compared to the cosmic ocean, how many resources did the primordial universe have? Far from enough for these ancestors to cultivate.
Given enough time, it will eventually be these foreign tribes that can't hold out and come to sue for peace.
This is the strategic objective of the giant axe.
"Therefore, the position of leader is not an easy job, and it brings not only honor, but also a heavy burden."
Giant Axe looked at Chen Yuan with a slight apology: "I'm sorry, handing over the leadership to you was just a sudden idea of mine, because I think that with your strength, you can definitely stabilize the current situation of the human race and prevent it from collapsing."
"At first, I wanted Chaos to take over this position, but when I thought about the miracles you have caused over the years, I felt that you were the most suitable candidate."
Giant Axe was absolutely sincere in saying this.
Before the Primordial Ancestor spoke, the person he valued most was indeed the Lord of Chaos City.
However, after the original ancestor mentioned Chen Yuan, the giant axe re-examined the other party's growth experience—only then did it realize that Chen Yuan had done so many incredible things on his path to growth.
The Realm Lord created the strongest secret technique, the Immortal created the strongest fusion secret technique, fought against four True God powerhouses, and at the Universe Lord stage, he even killed twelve Universe Lords with a single blow, establishing his name as a top powerhouse in the Universe Sea.
These things actually happened in just a few thousand years, which is simply a miracle!
After thinking it through, Giant Axe also felt that Chen Yuan was actually more suitable for the position of leader than Chaos. Although Chaos was steady, this personality might not be able to lead the human race to greater heights.
So, taking advantage of this opportunity, after discovering that Chen Yuan's personality also aligned with his own ideas, Giant Axe immediately decided to relinquish the leadership position to him.
Of course, this also depends on Chen Yuan's own thoughts.
After explaining everything, Giant Axe asked again, "Chen Yuan, I know this responsibility is very heavy, so I'm confirming with you once more, are you ready to take on this role?"
"If you choose to give up, then chaos will take over this responsibility."
"I'm sure." Chen Yuan's voice was decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Are you kidding me? The concerns of Giant Axe and the others are nothing to me. To choose to lie low because of the threat of alien races? There's absolutely no need for that!
If the alien race dares to extend its claws, then just chop them off. He believed that the giant axe must be thinking the same thing, but had to retreat for the time being due to its strength.
But in Chen Yuan's eyes, there was no need for that at all. He was confident that he could suppress everyone, especially within the scope of the primordial universe.
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's affirmative answer again, a smile finally appeared on Giant Axe's face, and everyone else present looked at Chen Yuan with solemn eyes.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that the other party dared to take on such a heavy responsibility in such a critical time deserves the respect of everyone present.
This was especially true of the Lord of Chaos City, because he had witnessed the entire discussion between the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe, particularly before the meeting began.
In fact, the original ancestor did mention recommending Chen Yuan as the leader of the human race at the beginning, but at that time the human race was in a very good situation, and the so-called leader position was more of an honor than a responsibility.
But things are different now. Before this meeting began, Giant Axe had personally approached him and the Primordial to discuss the matter.
Due to the threat from the alien race, the situation of the race is not as optimistic as the giant axe said. If the alien race insists on fighting to the end, then apart from the last elites hiding in a small universe, the rest of the human race will basically be wiped out.
Given the inheritance Chen Yuan obtained, if it's fake, then this war wouldn't happen. But if the inheritance is real, then Giant Axe should indeed do as he said and do his best to digest these inheritances to improve his strength.
Once he breaks through to the tenth rank, all the troubles will be resolved. But if he fails to break through, then someone will have to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the human race.
This person could be either Chaos or Chen Yuan.
Therefore, during this meeting, neither the Lord of Chaos City nor anyone else in the virtual universe spoke.
Because they had been informed in advance, they knew that this meeting was also a test of Chen Yuan by Giant Axe, who also wanted to know if Chen Yuan was qualified to take on this responsibility.
Now that the investigation is over, both Giant Axe and Chen Yuan have made their respective choices.
"Haha, great!"
Giant Axe laughed loudly, "Chen Yuan, give the order. How do you plan to deal with the surging alien coalition?"
"Don't worry, the Primordial Ancestor and I will not go into seclusion for a while. Instead, we will follow your orders and fight the alien race first."
"After all, even if we need to recuperate later, if we don't make them suffer this time, we can't guarantee peace in the future."
"However, after this battle, the Primordial Ancestor and I will immediately go into seclusion to improve ourselves to the best of our ability. We will not come out of seclusion until we break through the tenth level."
The giant axe's expression turned slightly grave: "From now on, the fate of the human race will depend on you, Chen Yuan."
C
Upon hearing the giant axe's suggestion, Chen Yuan smiled slightly and shook his head.
"I don't think it needs to be that complicated."
Giant Axe was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean? Do you have another way to deal with this?"
"Of course." Chen Yuan smiled slightly. "Giant Axe, your suggestion is indeed good, but it is based on the premise that our strength is inferior to that of the alien race."
"But if the human race is far stronger than the alien race, do we still need to make such compromises?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. What did it mean that the human race was far stronger than the alien race?
If that's the case, how could the human race be just one of the top races?
But if the so-called strength doesn't refer to the entire race, but rather to a particular individual—
Of these people, the Primordial Ancestor was the quickest to react, followed by the Giant Axe.
Yes, although he knew Chen Yuan was very strong, it was just a stereotype based on Chen Yuan's battle record.
It seems that none of them ever asked Chen Yuan about the other party's true strength.
So, I'm saying—
Thinking of this, Giant Axe couldn't help but swallow hard. "Do you mean that you alone have already surpassed all other races?"
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Chen Yuan nodded slightly and said with a faint smile, "That's right."
"hiss----"
Gasps of astonishment filled the meeting room.
Was the Primordial Ruler above all other races? Is it true or false?
Doesn't this mean that the opponent has at least reached the tenth level, comparable to the Primordial Ancestor at his peak, standing at the pinnacle of the cosmic sea?!
The thought that this Primordial Lord had only cultivated for a few thousand years made everyone feel that the gap between people was even greater than the gap between a person and a dog.
"So, gentlemen, I have an idea, which is also my first suggestion after assuming the leadership position."
Chen Yuan stood up, glanced around, and smiled, "I plan to take this opportunity to unify the primordial universe in one fell swoop and make the human race the strongest race in the primordial universe."
What do you all think?
Upon hearing this, all was silent. Everyone, including the giant axe, was too shocked to speak.
