Elena gave a slight bow.
The starlight pierced through the void, as if it could see the future of the entire human race: "Elena, how is my Star Palace developing now?"
Elena immediately responded: "Reporting to the Palace Master, the Star Palace currently has 126 Cosmic Venerables and over a million Immortal Gods, with its sphere of influence covering all star sectors of the human realm. Among the five major powers, we are already the undisputed third."
The stars nodded gently.
"For the human race to truly rise, it is not enough to rely on top experts like us. The foundation at the grassroots level must be solid."
Xingchen's gaze fell on Elena.
"From this day forward, all slavery shall be abolished throughout the human realm."
Elena's pupils contracted slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "I understand. The Palace Master intends to enhance the potential of the race from its very foundation."
"good."
Xingchen stood up, her body surrounded by starlight.
"Slavery has stifled the growth of many geniuses. I want every life within the human realm to have the opportunity to shine."
Elena bowed deeply: "I will take care of it immediately."
Xingchen nodded.
"Any obstacle, whoever it may be, shall be suppressed."
"Yes!"
A fierce glint flashed in Elena's eyes.
“I will personally oversee this matter.”
As Elena left the main hall, the entire Star Palace was already in operation. Commands were rapidly transmitted through the virtual universe to every corner of human territory:
[Star Palace Decree: Effective immediately, slavery is hereby abolished across all human territories. All slave owners must free their slaves within three cosmic days; violators will be severely punished!]
This order was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar among the human race.
Virtual universe, a hidden space—
A dozen or so slave trade tycoons gathered here, their faces grim.
"Star Palace is trying to cut off our source of income!"
An immortal roar, its body covered in scales.
"What gives them the right? We have powerful backers..."
"Shut up!"
The elderly man in purple robes at the head of the group interrupted sharply.
"Now is not the time to discuss this. The Star Palace is powerful; even the Virtual Universe Company has to give them face. We need to find a way to deal with them."
"Humph, what are you afraid of?"
A cold, sinister voice rang out.
"The powerful figures behind us won't stand idly by. The interests involved in the slave trade are too vast; it won't be so easy for Star Palace to take a bite out of this pie!"
Star Palace, Command Center —
Countless light screens floated in front of Elena, displaying the execution status in various parts of the human territory in real time.
Chapter 234 Emperor Yan
"Reporting to Your Excellency, 87% of the sectors have begun to implement the repeal order, but 13% of the sectors are still resisting."
An immortal deity respectfully reports.
Elena sneered: "Send me the coordinates of the ten star sectors where the resistance is most intense."
Soon, ten flashing red dots appeared on the star map. A cold glint flashed in Elena's eyes: "Summon the Star Guards and arrange for several Venerables to suppress them."
……
Time passed, and while Xingchen and the others were busy in seclusion cultivating and developing the human race.
Beyond the boundaries of humankind.
Coty also encountered an unexpected person.
The Secret Realm of the Universe, the Crimson Flame Realm.
This is an ancient, secret realm shrouded in eternal flames.
At this moment, in the core area of the secret realm, an ancient altar as red as blood is slowly rising. In the center of the altar floats a crystal burning with nine-colored divine fire—the Nine-Flame Divine Crystal, a high-level fire-type treasure that is enough to move even the Lord of the Universe!
Koti's figure stepped out of the void, his gaze fixed intently on the crystal.
"As expected, a priceless treasure has been born!"
Coty smiled slightly.
"This Nine Flames Divine Crystal is indeed a high-level treasure!"
He reached out and grabbed the crystal without hesitation, however!
"boom!!"
A crimson halberd beam tore through the void and slashed straight at him! Cody's pupils shrank, and he instantly activated the "Star River Palace" to protect himself, while retreating rapidly.
"Who?!"
He gave a cold shout, his gaze fixed on the crack in the void.
"Hmph! A mere cosmic overlord dares to lay a finger on the treasure that I, the Emperor, have set my sights on?"
Accompanied by an arrogant voice, a figure engulfed in crimson flames stepped out of the void, wielding a ferocious battle halberd, exuding a terrifying aura—Emperor Yan!
Coty's eyes narrowed: "Emperor Yan?"
Yan Di, leader of the Yan God Clan, was once a powerful figure among the human race. He later betrayed the human race and established his own independent clan. Relying on the supreme treasure "Yan God Halberd", the Calamity Armor and special life genes, his combat power is comparable to that of a fourth-order universe master!
"Coty?"
Emperor Yan recognized him as well, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"Star's disciple? Ha, a cosmic overlord who only gained some fame because of a treasure bestowed upon him by his teacher, dares to try and snatch what I, the Emperor, have my eye on? Get lost before I have to take action!"
Two figures faced off in the void, their terrifying auras distorting and deforming the surrounding space.
Koti held the "Star-Slaying" battle blade bestowed by the stars, surrounded by the "Nebula Map" domain, within which brilliant starlight flowed. His gaze was like lightning, fixed on the figure before him, whose entire body was engulfed in crimson divine power.
Upon hearing this, Koti burst into laughter, his laughter filled with undisguised mockery: "Emperor Yan, you are nothing but a traitor who has abandoned his clan. How dare you mention my teacher's name?"
He sneered, "Emperor Yan, you are nothing but a traitor. How dare you call yourself emperor in front of me? This treasure is ownerless; whoever gets it, keeps it!"
The murderous intent in Emperor Yan's eyes surged: "You're courting death!"
He already harbored resentment towards the human race, and now, upon seeing the disciple of the human race's universe master, his anger flared even more!
"Since you're courting death, then I, the Emperor, will grant your wish! Didn't the stars give you a pile of treasures? Today, I'll show you that an ant is still an ant, and even the finest treasures can't save you!"
Yan Di took a step forward, and the Yan Divine Halberd, burning with flames that could incinerate galaxies, pointed directly at Coty!
Undeterred, Coty brandished his battle blade and unleashed his full domain: "Emperor Yan, you're nothing but a piece of trash protected by the strongest. Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Today, I, Coty, will use my status as the overlord of the universe to slay you, you traitor!"
The Nebula Domain expanded to its full extent, keeping the incoming flames at bay. He gripped the Star-Slaying Battle Blade tightly in his right hand, countless star patterns appearing on its blade, radiating a sharpness capable of annihilating all things.
"Today, let me see just how much this so-called Flame Emperor really is!"
Before he finished speaking, Coty had already transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight towards Yan Di. The Star-Slaying Battle Blade tore through the void, leaving behind a dazzling galaxy-like blade of light!
Emperor Yan laughed in fury: "How dare you!"
The Fiery Divine Halberd swept horizontally, unleashing a roaring fire dragon that clashed fiercely with the blade's edge.
"boom--"
A terrifying explosion swept across the entire secret realm, turning countless stars into dust. The two retreated tens of thousands of miles simultaneously, only to instantly charge at each other again.
Koti's eyes gleamed, and he thought to himself, "As expected of the Lord of the Universe, he is not to be underestimated!"
But he was not afraid at all; on the contrary, his fighting spirit grew even stronger. The Star-Slaying Battle Blade and the Star-Radiance Armor worked in perfect harmony, each strike carrying the power to annihilate stars.
Although Coty has many treasures, in terms of quality, Yan Di's treasures are of higher quality than Coty's.
Of course, no matter how you calculate it, Emperor Yan only has three supreme treasures!
Although they are all top-tier treasures, Coty's is no less impressive. With his top-tier palace and top-tier domain treasure, even Emperor Yan couldn't do anything to Coty!
The Flame Emperor grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed: "What's wrong with this kid? How can a mere universe overlord stand up to me head-on?"
His gaze swept over the treasures on Koti's body, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes: "Starry Sky is quite generous, providing its disciple with such a set of treasures..."
These are all top-grade treasures!
He didn't care about the armor and weapons, but he was extremely envious of the palace and the domain!
Back then, the identity he inherited as the Lord of the Northern Prison was nothing more than a top-grade palace-like treasure!
Now it's been taken back by that guy, Zuo Shan Ke, how infuriating!
That should have been mine!
The two clashed fiercely in the void, their swords flashing and spears clashing, causing the stars to swirl and the sun and moon to lose their light. This unexpected encounter gradually escalated into a life-or-death battle!
Koti grew more and more courageous in battle, his heart filled with boundless pride: "Hahahaha, Emperor Yan, you're not so great after all! It's such a waste to have this supreme treasure on you!!"
The void trembled as two figures clashed fiercely in the endless sea of fire, each collision causing the space to collapse!
"boom--"
Koti unleashed a slash, the blade flashing like a galaxy pouring down, aimed at Yan Di's head!
"Little tricks!"
Emperor Yan grinned maliciously, sweeping his Yan Divine Halberd horizontally. The crimson halberd light collided with the blade light, bursting forth with dazzling light.
Using the momentum, Coty flipped over, his left leg slashing down like a battle axe, the force of his leg tearing through space: "Get down here!"
"boom!"
Emperor Yan raised his arm to block, and the armor glowed with black light, weakening the power of the kick by a hundred thousand times, but the impact still sent him flying back a thousand miles.
