Original Star

Around the massive circular table, the dense array of divine seats were divided into five levels. They measured 2 meters, 10 meters, 50 meters, 200 meters, and 1000 meters wide, with each powerhouse's divine body perfectly matching their seat. Among them, Cosmic Overlords like Sky Eclipse Palace Master, Jiufeng, and Undying Venerable sat on the 200-meter-wide divine seats. At the very top, Universe Masters occupied the highest, most majestic thrones, looking down upon all other human powerhouses. These were the super-beings from the five major factions of the human race. Of the many majestic 1000-meter-wide thrones, all were dazzling gold except for the two central ones, which were black and exuded a solemn aura. One black throne, subtly carved with a giant axe, was occupied by a hulking man with thick fingers and disheveled long hair, resembling a savage. However, the other black throne beside him remained empty, unoccupied. All the other golden thrones were filled with towering figures. “Chaos,” the savage giant looked at Chaos City Lord, who sat on a golden divine seat to his left, and chuckled, “Your favoritism towards Luo Feng seems to have displeased quite a few Universe Venerables.” “Their displeasure is not surprising. A soul-type supreme treasure! Chaos, your disciple Guiyi… he’s also a Cosmic Overlord, and he’s followed you for years, yet he doesn’t seem to possess a soul-type supreme treasure. He didn’t get one, but Luo Feng, who was merely a Sector Lord back then, did… perhaps Guiyi Venerable also feels a bit unfairly treated.” “Displeased my ass!” A chilling coldness, piercing straight to the soul, spread through the hall. “Bestowing treasures upon them is a kindness! Not giving them treasures is only natural! Want supreme treasures? They should fight for them themselves, hmph… whoever Chaos bestows a soul-type supreme treasure upon, that’s something Chaos obtained himself. No one has the right to say anything about who it should be given to.” “In my opinion, we should kill one to warn a hundred. Those who are most boisterous should be directly imprisoned in the Initial Universe’s prison.” “That’s going too far. We can’t stop the Venerables below from discussing, can we? They haven’t robbed or killed anyone, so they shouldn’t be imprisoned in a Venerable prison.” From the dozen or so majestic divine seats shrouded in misty blur, voices spoke one after another. “Everyone,” Chaos City Lord, seated on a golden throne, finally smiled. “Though I dote on this disciple, everyone knows how I conduct myself. I would absolutely not bestow a soul-type supreme treasure upon Luo Feng when he was merely a Sector Lord.” The other Universe Masters, including the giant on the black throne, looked over. They knew that Chaos City Lord was renowned for his impartiality and held the most prestige. After all, among the great beings who reached the level of ‘Universe Master,’ very few truly had the patience to handle the trivial matters of the race or arrange various racial affairs! Many Universe Masters were simply too lazy to bother. Yet, Chaos City Lord was very patient! And had always been highly respected! “He had three supreme treasures as a Sector Lord. Only the Wu God Wings were bestowed by me. The other two… my disciple had extraordinary encounters and incredible luck,” Chaos City Lord said. “Ah?” “He obtained the supreme treasures himself?” “These supreme treasures are not like other things; they aren’t something one can simply obtain through extraordinary encounters. They are usually deliberately left behind by super-beings for their successors.” “Who cares what super-being… as long as these treasures fall into the hands of our human race, it’s a good thing.” “Hahaha, exactly. No matter who left them for their successor, this Luo Feng… no matter what, he is first and foremost human. Only then does he have some connection with the being who left the treasures.” “No wonder… I was puzzled when I heard Chaos bestowed three supreme treasures upon Luo Feng. Chaos isn’t that kind of person, so that’s how it is.” Conversations erupted from the dozen or so divine seats. “The other Venerables are waiting, let’s begin our meeting.” The savage giant with the axe carving on one of the two black thrones looked at Chaos City Lord to his left and said, “Chaos, you still preside over the meeting.” “Mm,” Chaos City Lord nodded. … Among the thousands of densely packed divine seats, Luo Feng also exchanged words with some of the Universe Venerables nearby, learning some basic information. The divine seats in this Hall of Gods were divided into five levels. One could see the figures of powerhouses one level higher than themselves. As for conversation… one could actively converse with those of the same level or lower. For example, Luo Feng could only converse with Four-Star powerhouses (Universe Primary Venerables) and Five-Star powerhouses (Universe Intermediate Venerables)! The lowest-level Universe Primary Venerables could only converse with other Primary Venerables. “Everyone!” A gentle yet majestic voice descended, and the entire Hall of Gods instantly fell silent. Luo Feng immediately recognized it… it was his teacher, Chaos City Lord! “Every time a supreme meeting is convened, it is for a matter significant enough to affect the entire race,” Chaos City Lord’s majestic voice echoed throughout the Hall of Gods, and no one dared to interrupt. “This supreme meeting is convened because… the Original Star is about to open.” “The Original Star is about to open?” Almost all Universe Venerables showed expressions of shock. “The Original Star is the core of our vast universe, a battleground for billions of races. This opening… is no exception! If you wish to obtain supreme treasures, if you wish to make great contributions to the race, this is your chance! For detailed information, everyone can browse it first,” Chaos City Lord said. A screen floated before each of the many powerhouses seated on the dense divine seats. The screen displayed a large amount of detailed information. Luo Feng also stared at the screen before him, watching… The absolute core of the entire universe was the ‘Universe Origin Land.’ However, for countless eons, no super-being had ever been able to personally reach the Universe Origin Land, except for their consciousness occasionally descending upon it! It seemed like an illusory place, but the Original Star was truly real. There were 10081 Original Stars! According to information passed down since the birth of the universe, these 10081 Original Stars revolved around the ‘Universe Origin Land,’ making them the closest places to the ‘Universe Origin Land’ in the entire universe. These 10081 Original Stars also nurtured countless treasures and harbored numerous dangers. There were 10081 channels leading to the Original Stars, but these tens of thousands of channels… were usually closed, only opening once after an extremely long period. Each opening would last for a thousand eras! After a thousand eras, they would close… all powerhouses who entered had to exit before the closing, otherwise, they would inevitably perish! No matter if it was a clone staying, an avatar staying, or any other secret technique, none would be effective. As long as one remained on an Original Star when it closed… they would definitely perish! There were no exceptions! This was the most mysterious place in the universe! No other place could surpass it. The 10081 Original Stars, though fraught with danger, also contained countless treasures. Heavy treasures were not even worth mentioning, and supreme treasures frequently appeared! Super-beings from billions of races in the universe would engage in frenzied slaughter here, fighting for treasures for their respective races! Each opening was a terrifying massacre… and each time, Universe Masters would fall within. It was very bloody and cruel. Yet, it drove countless powerhouses to madness! This… was the Original Star, the place closest to the Universe Origin Land. “Hmm, contribution?” Luo Feng looked at another document below. Treasures obtained in the Original Star, if acquired alone, could be used by oneself. If one didn’t need them… they could also be offered to the race in exchange for contribution points! The reason a race was strong was due to the contributions of countless powerhouses! Contribution points could be used to exchange for other treasures. “Within the human race, there are two types of people: those who enjoy resources, and those who contribute resources.” “All ordinary humans and Undying Gods are resource enjoyers. For example, ordinary humans can enjoy peace and stability. Those among the Undying Gods who perform exceptionally can receive guidance and teaching from super-beings, and even be bestowed with treasures. They are all resource enjoyers!” “Once you step into the ranks of Universe-level powerhouses and join the supreme meeting! That signifies… you have become a backbone of the human race.” “The human race needs the contributions of you true powerhouses! Only with your contributions can billions of humans, generations of geniuses, and countless Immortals enjoy resources.” “You risk life and death to seize treasures and resources and offer them to the race! Everything will be recorded as contribution points… you can also use these contribution points to exchange for all the resources and treasures you need.” “Daohe King Luo Feng, when you first joined the supreme meeting… you lost your previous genius status and the allocation of resources you could extensively enjoy! From this moment on, you are also one of the super-beings of our human race. You are fully capable of making enormous contributions to our human race and can completely rely on contribution points to exchange for the resources and treasures you need.” … Luo Feng looked at the two documents. One was about the Original Star, and the other was a detailed explanation of contribution points. Clearly, only newcomers to the meeting, like Luo Feng and Zhenyan Venerable, who were attending the supreme meeting for the first time, would receive this detailed information about ‘contribution points.’ “Contribution points?” Luo Feng murmured softly. “Yes.” “If everyone in the entire race only wanted benefits and expected the race to bestow them, then who would be contributing?” Luo Feng understood. It was like adults in a primitive tribe hunting outside, while women farmed, and children could enjoy the fruits of their labor. In a race… super-beings contribute, and geniuses, the weak, and ordinary people can enjoy resources. Only by stepping into the ranks of Universe-level powerhouses… would one begin to contribute to the race! “Very good,” Luo Feng said softly. “This is excellent. Always taking advantage is truly meaningless.” “Original Star?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up. “The universe is truly wondrous. Before this, I didn’t even know there was a place like the Original Star… 10081 Original Stars, the mysterious place closest to the Universe Origin Land.” … As all the super-beings of the human race at the supreme meeting were still in awe, Chaos City Lord finally spoke again. “The Original Star will open in exactly 10 years from now. In these 10 years, everyone can prepare. For example, several powerhouses who complement each other can form a team, or borrow treasures from powerhouses unwilling to go to the Original Star, and so on… let’s prepare everything within these 10 years. In 10 years, our human race will advance into the Original Star,” Chaos City Lord said.
