Within a grand, silent hall in a planar world of the Virtual Universe, four stone chairs were placed on one side, and six on the other.

Seated on the four chairs were the City Lord of Chaos, Luo Feng, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Peng Gong. On the six chairs sat the six representatives of the Freedom Alliance... who were also the representatives of the six major factions.

"It won't do for the Freedom Alliance to simply offer help for nothing," said the Lord of Shi Hua Island, the last of the six representatives to speak. "You must first provide us with portions of the inheritance information, allowing us to review it and confirm that you humans aren't trying to fool the Freedom Alliance. Only then can we agree to join your human faction and help you deal with the Allied Army faction."

"Esteemed members of the Freedom Alliance, there is no need for concern," the City Lord of Chaos nodded. "I can grant each of you portions of the inheritance information right now."

"Good."

"Good."

Outside the hall, the more than 400 Universe Masters who were part of the Freedom Alliance waited. They could all hear the negotiations, and upon hearing that inheritance information would be shared, every one of them naturally became expectant and excited.

"Then let us begin," the City Lord of Chaos smiled. "Everyone must watch and study this carefully."

Following this—

Through the Virtual Universe system, a message was sent to every single one of the more than 400 Universe Masters! The message contained a massive amount of information. The more than 400 Universe Masters, who had been conversing full of anticipation, all fell silent to carefully study the inheritance data. Even the Lord of Shi Hua Island looked on curiously, for although he had broken through to become an Undying Supreme Being, his breakthrough had been haphazard, lacking any systematic experience.

Luo Feng, the City Lord of Chaos, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Peng Gong exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

They were all filled with confidence.

Especially Luo Feng!

This was the inheritance information he had painstakingly prepared. Although much of it had been condensed, omitting many extremely crucial key points, regardless... even in its simplified form, after his slight refinement, those Universe Masters who viewed it would undoubtedly be stunned. This was a truly revolutionary piece of inheritance, one that would make the Universe Masters of the Freedom Alliance intensely crave the remaining inheritance information, ensuring they would assist the human side.

"There is a lot of data. Even through the Virtual Universe system, we are transmitting it as fast as possible, but even at the speed of a Universe Master's reception, it will take a while," Luo Feng transmitted secretly.

"Then we can wait a little longer," the City Lord of Chaos chuckled. "We are all inside the Star Tower now. The Allied Army faction cannot touch us... waiting a while longer will cause no issues."

"Once the Freedom Alliance and us join forces, our side will be much at ease," Peng Gong said with a grin.

"Indeed," the Lord of Darkness nodded slightly.

The human side waited...

Time ticked by, second by second.

In a stretch of void, a nine-story tower stood majestically. Surrounding it were the eleven colossal Palace Treasures of the Allied Army faction, and the six Palace Treasures of the Freedom Alliance.

"Hoo!"

A streak of light flew across the void.

"Hmm?"

This immediately drew the attention of both the human faction and the Allied Army faction, who were waiting for the Freedom Alliance's final decision. The streak of light was vast and magnificent, its speed far exceeding the speed of light. It charged directly into this void and soon halted. It was a peculiar supreme treasure shaped like an altar, possessing eight sharp angles.

This strange supreme treasure was the rather well-known 'Ancestral God Altar.'

The Ancestral God Altar was a treasure granted to the Ancestral God Sect by the 'Original Universe.' While not a Peak Supreme Treasure, it possessed no offensive capabilities. However, in terms of pure defense, it was no less formidable than a Peak Supreme Treasure. As a faction truly favored by the Original Universe, the Ancestral God Sect indeed enjoyed many unique advantages.

"Chaos, we have arrived."

"We have arrived."

"Galaxy, we have arrived."

"We are a bit late. We immediately mobilized upon receiving your transmission from the humans, and only now have we reached you."

Messages were transmitted through the Virtual Universe.

"Haha, esteemed members of the Ancestral God Sect, you are not late at all! The battle has not truly begun... We are all inside the Star Tower now. Some of the Ancestral God Sect members should join us inside the Star Tower for better coordination."

"Understood."

"No problem. Some of our Ancestral God Sect Universe Masters will head to the Star Tower immediately."

In the void, the Ancestral God Altar flew towards the Star Tower.

Moments later, the two came extremely close. The side door of the Star Tower opened, and the side door of the Ancestral God Altar opened. A black warship then flew out from the Ancestral God Altar and entered the Star Tower directly.

Inside the Tower.

"City Lord of Chaos, Lord Galaxy, Lord of Darkness, Lord of Peng Gong, Lord Long Xing..." The Ancestral God Sect powerhouses who had entered the Star Tower all appeared very enthusiastic.

The human side naturally welcomed them warmly as well.

Both sides seemed happy, but...

"This Ancestral God Sect is truly insidious," the Lord of Peng Gong said with a smile on his face, while secretly transmitting to Luo Feng, the City Lord of Chaos, and the others. "They already received portions of the inheritance information we gave them and had long agreed to join our side. We sent transmissions to both the Freedom Alliance and the Ancestral God Sect simultaneously. Over 400 Universe Masters from the Freedom Alliance have arrived, but they, with only a few dozen Universe Masters, delayed until now. They are clearly stalling intentionally."

"Intentional delay is normal! Although the Ancestral God Sect was once known as the number one power, now, whether it is the newly formed Freedom Alliance, the Allied Army faction, or our human faction, we are all stronger than them," Luo Feng transmitted with a cold sneer. "So naturally, they must take a slower step! If our human race were to be attacked and instantly collapse without holding out for any time... the Ancestral God Sect would certainly prefer to abandon us rather than risk involvement. If we can hold the line initially... they will join us according to their original plan."

"That isn't entirely wrong," the City Lord of Chaos transmitted. "After all, they are assisting us and do not wish to be besieged or annihilated. I asked them to transfer some Universe Masters to the Star Tower... and the Ancestral God Sect agreed immediately, which shows some sincerity."

"Agreed? Humph. Look closely at who entered. Lord Jiu You, Lord Luo Can, Lord Feng Tian... yes, these individuals are powerful. But these are all avatars! Those who came to the Star Tower are all avatars," the Lord of Peng Gong was indeed somewhat displeased.

Only a few within the Ancestral God Sect possessed avatars; most only had their main bodies.

"Once inside the Star Tower, their fate is controlled by us," the City Lord of Chaos said calmly. "For them to show sincerity by sending a group of Universe Masters to us is already quite something. Did you expect them to dispatch Universe Masters without avatars? Impossible! After all, these avatars alone, with their strong divine power, their supreme treasures, and so on, the Ancestral God Sect would be reluctant to give up unless absolutely necessary."

...

The Freedom Alliance and the Ancestral God Sect arrived one after the other.

The Ancestral God Sect joined immediately, while the more than 400 Universe Masters of the Freedom Alliance were all occupied studying the inheritance information.

Time ticked by, second by second.

"Why is there still no movement?"

"Are we just supposed to wait here?"

"Don't worry," an ancient voice transmitted to the other peak Undying Beings. "The Freedom Alliance just made their decision, and we moved immediately. The Freedom Alliance probably hasn't received the inheritance information from the human race yet. Upon their arrival, they must first examine the inheritance data before deciding whether to join. They are likely researching the information now... We absolutely cannot make a move prematurely. If we attack first, it will surely infuriate the Freedom Alliance, and they might push directly toward the human side!"

"What? Do you, Old Beast God, think the Freedom Alliance still has a chance to join us?"

"The hope is slim. But if we act now, the Freedom Alliance will definitively side with the humans, and this battle will be lost before it even starts. If we delay our action... there might be a turning point. Let's wait and see."

Although the Allied Army faction studied the situation carefully.

No matter how much they studied, they discovered... if the Freedom Alliance and the human faction truly joined forces, the probability of victory for their Allied Army faction would be extremely small.

The Allied Army faction waited, and the humans also waited.

In the void...

Silence reigned.

The eleven colossal Palace Treasures of the Allied Army faction, the six Palace Treasures of the Freedom Alliance, the Ancestral God Altar of the Ancestral God Sect, and the Star Tower of humanity. The number of Universe Masters gathered here was approximately one thousand in total... The number of peak Undying Beings gathered here exceeded ten... It could be said that over ninety percent of the pinnacle combat strength of the Original Universe was assembled in this location!

Every single one of them possessed the power to overturn and destroy a universe with a mere flip of the hand!

Every single one of them could easily establish a formidable race!

And now, gathered here, this battle would affect the cosmic power structure for hundreds of millions of epochs into the future of the Original Universe.

"Finished reading."

"Finished reading."

"I've finished too."

The six Palace Treasures of the Freedom Alliance drew close to one another, their divine power surging. They communicated via divine power transmission among themselves, not through the Virtual Universe system.

"Now, all the Universe Masters of the Freedom Alliance have finished reviewing the inheritance information. Esteemed sirs, please share your thoughts... how do you find this inheritance information?" A voice that sounded somewhat cold spread out.

"It's alright."

"It's acceptable."

"It contains some information."

"Mediocre."

"This is the inheritance information on how the Duan Dong River lineage becomes a peak Undying Being? So brief?"

"Too average."

Various sounds spread out as the more than 400 Universe Masters communicated secretly among themselves. Strangely, none of the 400-plus Universe Masters who were transmitting using divine power spoke with the Lord of Shi Hua Island.

"Make your decision, everyone," the slightly cold voice continued. "Do you choose to join the human faction, or do you choose to support me?"

"Lord Guang Xing, is there even a question? I support you!"

"I support you too."

"Haha, everyone knows what the choice should be. Lord Guang Xing, you should take the position of leader of the Freedom Alliance. Of course, you must also keep your promise."

"Lord Guang Xing... as long as you keep your promise, we will naturally support you."

"Support."

Various voices rose, and not a single Universe Master dissented.

"Good, then let's proceed with our pre-arranged Plan Two!" Lord Guang Xing transmitted. "We will continue to present demands to the humans, requesting more detailed and richer inheritance information... If the information they provide surpasses what I have given everyone, then we will continue to join the human faction. If what they provide is no better than what I gave everyone! Then the human faction is not worth joining."
