Swallowing the Stars: The Supreme Being of All Heavens

Chapter 170 The Attitude of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance

Chapter 170 The Attitude of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance

The virtual headquarters of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, a gathering place for geniuses, is also a huge red mountain called Bloodblade Mountain.

In the distance from Bloodblade Mountain lies an even larger and more imposing island in the void, surrounded by a vast and beautiful river of starlight: Star River Island.

At the summit of Star River Island stand magnificent palaces, each inhabited by the greatest figures of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

In the very center of the palace, a ferocious-looking being, covered in intricate scales and possessing three sharp horns on its head, resembling a humanoid beast at first glance, yet exuding an equally domineering aura, gazed at the disciple of the Cosmic Venerable before it. "A newcomer who has passed the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven?"

"Yes, teacher," the disciple replied respectfully. "Now, countless immortals and venerables across Star River Island have been alarmed. Many went to the Tongtian Bridge plane to see that genius after receiving the news. There's probably a lot of discussion about it outside right now."

The Lord of the Wasteland said calmly, "I understand. You may leave."

After the disciple left, the Lord of Desolate Mirror contacted the other two Lords of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance has three Cosmic Lords. The Lord of Desolation is the leader of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance and has four clones. His strength is also extremely strong among the Cosmic Lords.

What do you two think?

A Cosmic Lord from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance said, "I watched the video of Nazaki breaking through the Tongtian Bridge. It is indeed comparable to the comprehension of a World Lord, but it is not the Nine Universe Chaos Stele. The Nine Universe Chaos Stele is based on the laws of space, while the Divine Weapon he used is based on the origin of metal. Of course, this is not impossible, but the charm of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele is very weak, which proves that his comprehension of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele is still very weak."

"It's obvious that Zuo Mu had this realization before entering Chaos City. He must have received some other opportunity that allowed this little guy to get to this point," another universe lord said calmly.

They were all ancient and powerful beings who had lived for a long time and had seen a great deal. Each of them was insightful and had extremely sharp eyes.

Although the cause of Saki's condition cannot be directly identified, the conclusion is fairly accurate.

Lord of the Wasteland nodded. "Even so, he is, after all, a rare genius in our Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. He has already attracted the attention of the other four forces. To be on the safe side, we still need to investigate in detail. If he is indeed a genius with amazing talent, then it will be a good thing for our Cosmic Mercenary Alliance."

After a brief discussion, the three cosmic lords decided that the Lord of Desolation would personally investigate.

In the cosmic void outside the Divine Flower Continent, a powerful being stepped out.

He first glanced at the "Myriad Illusions World" hidden in an independent space-time in the distance, a strange light flashing in his eyes, but he ignored it, as he had not come for the Lord of Brahma Sea Palace today.

Although the Lord of Brahma Sea Palace is merely a cosmic overlord, his identity is special. He is that person's disciple and an extremely ancient being, likely on par with many cosmic lords.

"Could the birth of this genius be related to the Palace Master of Brahma Sea? It shouldn't be that."

"If he was truly trained by the Palace Master of Brahma Sea, then he should have joined the Virtual Universe Company directly."

Disciples trained by a powerful figure usually follow the master's faction.

As the Lord of Desolation pondered this, he looked out over the vast Divine Continent, his calm and profound gaze causing even the cosmos to tremble.

A powerful aura emanated from him, emanating various spatial and temporal fluctuations. His gaze seemed to traverse the long river of time, and the scenery in his eyes was undergoing incredible changes.

Time seemed to begin to flow backward in his vision.

He was retracing the events of the past.

Simply looking at the reversed past, without interfering or doing anything extra, is an easy task for a cosmic ruler like the Lord of Desolation, who controls time and space, without paying any price.

Time travels very quickly—one day, two days, three days—a month—

In the blink of an eye, we were back to the day when Saki and the hunchbacked old man were talking in the courtyard.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. The Lord of the Wasteland frowned as he watched the scene.

"So it was him—no wonder—" The Lord of Desolate Mirror suddenly realized. "The Void Demon God, that old fellow, actually sneaked into our human territory. It was because he encountered this old monster that Nasaki reached such a high level."

The Lord of the Wasteland investigated the cause but was greatly disappointed.

If Saki is indeed a peerless genius who has obtained some great opportunity, then it is naturally a good thing for the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

However, while Saki, a "genius" who has spent tens of thousands of years in the illusion, has high levels of understanding, it is no different from forcing growth and has little value for the Space Mercenary Alliance.

"With this kind of talent, he probably won't go very far and won't become a strong member of our Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. It's not worth investing resources in him." Lord of Desolate Mirror shook his head.

After investigating the cause, the Lord of Wasteland informed the other two Lords of the Universe.

"So that's how it is."

"What a pity."

The two cosmic rulers also expressed their regret.

"The matter of this little guy crossing the Tongtian Bridge has caused quite a stir, and everyone is paying close attention. Should we intervene?" a cosmic lord asked hesitantly.

Another universe lord disagreed, "Who cares? This is that kid's good fortune. He crossed the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge through his own ability. Although the old monster, the Void Demon God, was behind it, that can't be denied, can it?"

The Lord of the Wilderness nodded in agreement. They were all at the pinnacle of the human race, and in their view, this was just a small matter of a little guy getting a bit of an opportunity, not worth making a fuss about and interfering with.

"Tell the other universe lords the reason, and tell them not to spread it around," said the Lord of Desolate Insight. "As for those universe venerables and immortal gods who are unaware of the truth, they lack the foresight themselves, so there's no need to remind them."

As for their disciples, the cosmic venerables under the demons, they naturally had to remind them not to foolishly accept a disciple with no potential and make a fool of themselves in the future.

Thus, the matter of Saki was settled with a casual remark from the highest levels of the Space Mercenary Alliance.

That means ignoring it and letting him be. If Zuo doesn't get anything, it's up to his own luck.

In any case, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is unlikely to do anything specifically for a young man who has no real talent.

The cold attitude of the highest level was subtly noticed by the observing cosmic venerables.

They were all seasoned veterans, and from the strange attitude of the higher-ups, they vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Logically speaking, the appearance of such a peerless genius would immediately attract the enthusiastic pursuit of various cosmic venerables, who would vie to take him as their disciple, and it is not impossible that even the cosmic lord himself would personally intervene.

But now, the cosmic lords of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance seem to disregard Saki's performance, and even the cosmic venerables around them show no intention of taking him as a disciple.

Therefore, those wise cosmic beings knew that this Saki probably had some problems behind him, and was at least not as valuable as they had imagined.
