Across the boundless Primordial Universe, two major factions were arrayed. The Human Faction's convergence point was the Primal Secret Realm, while the United Army Faction's was Bloodfang Star.

Bloodfang Star was ninety percent vast ocean, and currently, an ancient, colossal ship drifted upon its waters. Aboard this ship gathered the most powerful beings in the entire Primordial Universe, where they recklessly indulged in the rarest wines and most exquisite delicacies… "With our combined strength, what are those mere Humans?" "The Freedom Alliance?

So loose a structure, only united under the pressure of the two major factions. Wait until this war is over… you’ll see, the Freedom Alliance will surely fracture internally, posing no real threat." Ten supreme beings were seated scattered about, holding forth with arrogant confidence.

They were, namely: Zhen Yao Zu of the Demon Race, the Mechanical Race Father God, the Insect Race Empress, Mo Zu of the Hell Race, the Crystal Race Holy Lord, the Black Cosmos Founder, E Zhou, the Void True Demon God, the Northern Frontier Alliance Master, and the Starry Sky Ancestor. They already commanded the majority of the strongest entities in the entire Primordial Universe.

"If we cooperate, cleverly combining our numerous Ultimate Treasures, we can unleash our utmost combat power. Even if the Freedom Alliance and the Human Faction join forces, we are not without a chance of victory." "Indeed." "There's no need to panic.

That old fellow, Zuo Shan Ke, refuses to join! He stands aloof from both sides!

One truly wonders what Zuo Shan Ke is thinking. If he were to join, with his endless stream of esoteric techniques, combined with the sheer number of Universe Masters under our command, we could deploy countless strategies, greatly increasing our odds." "You are unaware of the situation." The Starry Sky Ancestor was entrenched in his position, his tail extended out from the great ship, plunging directly into the sea.

"The relationship between Zuo Shan Ke and Luo Feng runs far deeper than you all realize." "Really?" "Zuo Shan Ke and Luo Feng?" "What relationship?" One by one, they turned to the Starry Sky Ancestor in surprise. "Master and disciple!" The Starry Sky Ancestor surveyed his surroundings and uttered those two words.

This declaration instantly shocked these supreme experts of the universe. Zuo Shan Ke had indeed instructed the Starry Sky Ancestor not to leak this information unless Luo Feng could protect himself.

Now that Luo Feng possessed the means of self-preservation… speaking of it now might not constitute an offense against Zuo Shan Ke, especially since, deep down, the more profound the Starry Sky Ancestor’s interactions with Zuo Shan Ke became, the more deeply he feared him. However, this current situation made him intensely dissatisfied and furious!

He believed that Zuo Shan Ke, as the teacher, must have already reaped substantial benefits! After all, in the vast universe, the most crucial bond is that of master and disciple!

How could the Starry Sky Ancestor not feel jealous of Zuo Shan Ke? "So that is how it is." "Zuo Shan Ke first produced that disciple, Yan Di, and now he has produced this Silver River Lord, who is even more formidable than Yan Di." "Damn that Zuo Shan Ke, he must have obtained the inheritance from his disciple long ago!

No wonder he refused my invitation to participate!" "That fellow always manages to secure the advantage first." "Hmph." These were the highest echelons of the Primordial Universe. Over long ages, while frequent clashes occurred between them, they held some understanding of the other supreme experts.

Yet, regarding Zuo Shan Ke, they harbored a complex mixture of jealousy, envy, and apprehension. At times, they even had to seek favor from that very Zuo Shan Ke.

No one knew precisely how strong Zuo Shan Ke was; they only knew that he had never engaged in a direct, head-on confrontation with anyone, always manipulating events through seemingly ancillary methods that left them frustrated. Just as this assembly of the greatest beings in the Primordial Universe were loudly holding court on the great ship—one moment discussing the upcoming factional war, the next the Sea of Chaos, and then other supreme experts—while thoroughly enjoying themselves, suddenly—the Mechanical Race Father God’s streamlined, towering form bolted upright.

Although the Mechanical Race Father God often resided within that ellipsoidal black sphere, he did possess a divine body. He favored a mechanical combat style, and remaining inside offered greater safety while enhancing his strength in battle.

However, since he could exert at most peak sixth-tier combat power within the Primordial Universe, revealing his true form was not entirely unexpected. "My lords!" The Insect Race Empress also displayed alarm.

"What is it?" "What has happened?" The Black Cosmos Founder, the Void True Demon God, and the others all turned to look, thoroughly perplexed by whatever could cause the Insect Race Empress and the Mechanical Race Father God such agitation. "I have just received word," the Mechanical Race Father God boomed, his voice powerful.

"The Freedom Alliance has reached a unified decision: they will join the Human Faction." "What?" "Join the Human Faction?" "This is bad." Every face immediately darkened. Previously, without the adherence of many solitary supreme experts, the United Army Faction stood no chance against a combined Human Faction and Freedom Alliance.

But with the addition of numerous solitary supreme experts, various Ultimate Treasures, and the aid of the Star Beast Alliance… they could fight on equal footing. Yet, such a battle would be excruciatingly difficult, as their strengths would be closely matched.

"Act immediately, no—act now! We set off immediately!

Our United Army Faction departs right now, heading directly for the core territory of the Humans: the Primal Secret Realm!" The Starry Sky Ancestor roared. "Old Beast God…" Some supreme experts looked towards the Starry Sky Ancestor.

"Yes, the Old Beast God is correct." "Agreed." "Yes, we must act at once." Their wisdom was vast; even if the Starry Sky Ancestor hadn't spoken, they would have reached the same conclusion. "The Freedom Alliance has only just unified their thinking.

They probably haven't yet received the portion of the inheritance information granted by the Humans… Before they can fully gather, we must strike immediately at the Human Primal Secret Realm. The battle between the two major factions will be brief.

By the time the Freedom Alliance arrives, we might already be finished fighting." "Precisely." "We must seize every moment." This was the consensus among them. They understood well that if the Humans and the Freedom Alliance united, this war would become agonizing, potentially stretching into a protracted war of attrition!

No one could predict the outcome! After all, the combined force of the Humans and the Freedom Alliance represented the two most mysterious figures of the Primordial Universe—Zuo Shan Ke and the Island Master of Shi Hua—plus Luo Feng, who held the inheritance from the Broken East River lineage.

This battle was rife with variables. They desperately wished to avoid a war of attrition filled with uncertainty.

A swift victory was imperative! "We must hurry, hurry, and conclude this great war as soon as possible." They grew anxious.

They knew the Freedom Alliance could mobilize quickly—a Divine Country Teleportation plus an instant shift, and they’d be there. Thus, concluding the battle before the Freedom Alliance arrived seemed immensely difficult.

But they had no choice; this was the only path to a relatively easy and swift resolution. "Old Beast God, is your Star Beast Alliance proceeding according to the original plan, or…?" Zhen Yao Zu inquired of the Starry Sky Ancestor.

"Forget other plans. What we must do now is concentrate our power and crush the Humans in one blow, then capture their cohort of Universe Masters," the Starry Sky Ancestor stated gravely.

"Go!" "Go!" "Go!" Once mobilization began, their efficiency was immediate. Like the Old Beast God and Zhen Yao Zu, the forms present were mere avatars, identical to their true selves, but their true bodies were already commanding the legionnaires to march within their respective races.

Only three minutes later. Outside Bloodfang Star, in the vast expanse of space, colossal entities gathered.

At a glance, there were no fewer than eleven massive palace-like Ultimate Treasures, each manned by one of the supreme experts, and each leading approximately forty Universe Masters. Every palace treasure represented a combination of one supreme expert plus about forty Universe Masters!

The eleven supreme experts were: Zhen Yao Zu, Meng Yao Zu, the Mechanical Race Father God, the Insect Race Empress, Mo Zu of the Hell Race, the Crystal Race Holy Lord, the Northern Frontier Alliance Master, the Starry Sky Ancestor, the Black Cosmos Founder, E Zhou, and the Void True Demon God! The last time the three-race allied army fought the Humans, why couldn't Luo Feng seize the Universe Masters protected by the Mechanical Race Father God?

It was because the Mechanical Race Father God remained within that elliptical black sphere, ceaselessly shielding those Universe Masters. Even if those masters offered little resistance under the mental impact of the 'Ancient God Eye,' the Mechanical Race Father God himself could resist.

Now, the United Army Faction proceeded exactly like that: divided into eleven teams, each led by a universe supreme expert! The Ancient God Eye could only attack one team at a time, and even if it struck, the presence of a supreme expert guarding them ensured their safety.

"In this battle!" "What we must achieve is to fight our way to the Human Primal Secret Realm, and then, together, we will deploy our combined techniques to shatter the Human Faction completely. Afterward, we rely on the Insect Race Empress's Empress Palace to indiscriminately devour the Universe Masters of the Human Faction." "All Universe Masters!" "For the faction!" "For the future!" "Depart, for the Human Primal Secret Realm!" As the Mechanical Race Father God's voice echoed everywhere, the entire United Army Faction—eleven colossal formations—nearly simultaneously executed Divine Country Teleportation—and vanished.

The United Army Faction had refrained from attacking previously because they were awaiting the reaction of the 'Freedom Alliance.' After all, if the Freedom Alliance had not yet made a decision and the United Army attacked the Humans immediately, the Freedom Alliance would certainly become enraged, viewing such an act as robbing them of any potential benefit, likely prompting them to swiftly join the Human Faction. Previously, fearing they would force the Freedom Alliance to align with the Humans, they dared not move.

Now that they had received secret intelligence confirming the Freedom Alliance had unified its position to join the Humans, they naturally ceased caring about the Alliance's feelings. At that very moment, within the Human territory, the Primal Secret Realm.

The main hall. The Human Universe Masters were gathered, exchanging smiles and buoyant chatter.

"The Freedom Alliance has unified its stance; they will arrive collectively very soon. Once they arrive, and we redistribute the Universe Masters amongst us… the United Army Faction will have absolutely no chance of victory." "Hahaha…" They were waiting for the massive contingent of Universe Masters from the Freedom Alliance.

"Do you think the United Army Faction hasn't received the news and won't seize this unique window of opportunity to strike immediately?" Lord You Hou suddenly asked, causing a silence to fall over the hall. "Rest assured," Lord Peng Gong laughed.

"That was the highest council meeting of the Freedom Alliance. Only Universe Masters were privy to the information.

Since it involves their own vested interests, they informed us immediately upon making a decision. Do you imagine they would foolishly inform the United Army Faction?

Wouldn't they fear losing their inheritance message?" The words had barely left his mouth. "Bad!" City Lord Chaos’s expression drastically changed, and he shouted, "Assemble immediately!

All Universe Masters, assemble instantly, prepare for battle!!!" His booming voice resonated in the ears of every Universe Master within the core region of the Primal Secret Realm.
