Who Leaked It?

In the tranquil cosmic starry sky, an island stood amidst vast golden waves, serving as the core of the Freedom Alliance. Over 400 Universe Masters gathered here, each seated on a throne. They had just reached a consensus and were awaiting humanity to provide them with a portion of the legacy information. Shi Hua Island Master sat on his throne, gently swirling a wine glass in one hand. He looked down at the glass, a smile playing on his lips, feeling immensely pleased. “Using the momentum of the Freedom Alliance to pressure humanity. Then, secretly contacting humanity, offering only myself as the price to secure the entire Freedom Alliance's participation... I'll effortlessly obtain the information on cultivating to the limit of a Universe Supreme Master.” The thought made Shi Hua Island Master even more smug. He admired himself all the more. In truth, ever since Luo Feng obtained the Duan Dong River lineage's legacy, Shi Hua Island Master knew that a great upheaval was destined to occur within the Original Universe! The increasingly powerful human race would face escalating conflicts with other races in the Original Universe, potentially leading to a massive storm. From that moment, he began to secretly lay plans, making an effort to befriend many independent Universe Masters from various scattered races. These scattered races, being of lower status, naturally jumped at the chance to associate with a lone Universe Supreme Master! Thus, he quickly gathered a large number of Universe Masters. Upon hearing of the Giant Axe Founder's demise, Shi Hua Island Master immediately understood—this was a catalyst, prematurely igniting a war that was bound to happen! Had it not been for the Giant Axe Founder's death... other races would likely have continued their secret preparations at a slower pace. So, he immediately intensified his efforts. Everything unfolded as predicted... Seizing the opportunity presented by the pressure the two major factions exerted on the scattered races, Shi Hua Island Master immediately leveraged past favors and began lobbying. He quickly rallied a group of forces. Using this influence, he then lobbied other powers... eventually forming this super alliance—the Freedom Alliance. “Being an alliance leader? To me, it's utterly useless.” “What I pursue...” “Is true invincibility! To transcend reincarnation!” “My first goal is to reach the level of the Original Ancestor, and then to transcend reincarnation, like the East Emperor Ancestor and Purple Moon Ancestor.” A powerful desire surged within Shi Hua Island Master's chest. As a lone Universe Supreme Master, he fundamentally cared little for the so-called power of an alliance; he merely created it as a tool to be utilized. Shi Hua Island Master remained utterly at ease, his consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe, awaiting humanity's reply. In the past, he had connected to the Virtual Universe, but it required certain stealth methods. However, after the Freedom Alliance's negotiations with humanity, all Universe Masters and Universe Supreme Masters within the Freedom Alliance gained permission to connect to the Virtual Universe. This allowed for swift communication between both parties. Shi Hua Island Master's previously relaxed expression vanished instantly, replaced by gravity and fury. He immediately swept his gaze around, roaring, “Everyone! Just now, we reached a consensus, yet the allied forces have already attacked humanity's Original Secret Region!” This thunderous shout echoed through every inch of the island, leaving the over 400 Universe Masters, who had been chatting and laughing while awaiting the legacy information, utterly dumbfounded. “How can this be?” “Why would the allied forces attack humanity now?” “We just settled our internal discussions, so why are the allied forces attacking humanity?” “Who, who exactly, who leaked this information? Don't they know that doing so threatens the legacy information we're about to receive?” “Who leaked the news?” The Universe Masters on the island were instantly enraged. Shi Hua Island Master was the most furious, as this could very well ruin his plans. “Clearly, someone among us leaked the information,” Shi Hua Island Master's stern gaze swept across the many Universe Masters present. “This is sabotaging the future hopes of breakthrough for all Universe Masters! Unforgivable! Of course, perhaps one of us merely let it slip accidentally while conversing with a disciple or friend... For now, we don't need to dwell on that. Humanity is currently hiding, and the allied forces can't do anything to them, so the situation hasn't worsened. What we must do now is immediately head to human territory and join humanity's side.” “Alright.” “Indeed.” “Let's depart now!” “Not a single Universe Master present can be absent. Anyone who doesn't go will be suspected of leaking the information.” Some Universe Masters, worried that their hopes of breaking through to Universe Supreme Master would be ruined, were indeed gnashing their teeth in anger. Who exactly had spread the news to the allied forces? “Depart.” “Depart.” Soon, six magnificent palace supreme treasures appeared above the island, then swiftly departed via God Kingdom teleportation. Although they were an alliance, internal factional struggles were indeed severe. Some scattered races held mortal enmities and naturally refused to travel together, so they split into six sub-teams. Each team comprised over 70 Universe Masters, their formidable strength easily imaginable. In human territory, Original Secret Region. A nine-story tower stood in the void, while in the distance, 11 palace supreme treasures launched wild, frenzied attacks. Overwhelming and world-shattering, they transformed the void into an endless stream of particles, which crashed thunderously upon the Star Tower. “Boom! Rumble!~~~” “Crash!~~” Though the Star Tower trembled slightly under the bombardment, it remarkably remained unthrown. This astonished the allied forces. “With so many Universe Masters, and 11 Universe Supreme Masters, such a powerful combined force... yet we can't even blast away that Star Tower? Are the more than a hundred Universe Masters inside the Star Tower all working together to stabilize it?” “The Star Tower is controlled by Luo Feng. This Luo Feng obtained the Duan Dong River lineage's legacy, so anything mysterious could happen. The Tomb Mausoleum Boat and the will-impact treasures were all brought out by him.” The allied forces were exasperated, and their attacks soon ceased. They knew that further attacks would be a futile waste of divine power. The reason humanity's initial sneak attack succeeded was because they targeted a pinnacle palace supreme treasure. Pinnacle palace supreme treasures... had almost no soul defense capabilities. But ultimate supreme treasures were different. Hiding inside the Star Tower, Black Prison Tower, and similar ultimate supreme treasures, both material and soul attacks were completely resisted. “It seems we'll have to wage a war of attrition.” “It will be troublesome once the Freedom Alliance arrives.” “Regardless, we cannot give up this battle. We absolutely cannot stand by and watch humanity grow strong! At the very least, if our many forces unite this time and still let humanity roam free, that would be a huge joke.” Inside the Star Tower, through a side entrance, Luo Feng, Chaos City Lord, and Peng Gong Master were gathered together. “Blast it away?” Luo Feng chuckled. “Haha, the Endless Abyssal Sea is one of my avatars, but even so, with it inside the Star Tower, controlling it to move is incredibly difficult. Now with the Endless Abyssal Sea within the Star Tower... who knows how heavy the Star Tower has become. They want to shake it and blast it away?” “The allied forces must be furious this time,” Peng Gong Master shook his head. “I'm afraid they still don't realize... with the Original Ancestor present, we detect all their movements beforehand.” “Indeed,” Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord both nodded. Even within the human race itself, before this, Luo Feng and the others didn't know that the Original Ancestor could perceive the situation in almost every corner of the 'Original Universe,' let alone the alien races. “Let's wait. Once the Freedom Alliance arrives, everything will be easier,” Chaos City Lord said. Without the Freedom Alliance, the allied forces could completely trap humanity, forever! They would only need to leave over 200 Universe Masters and some Universe Supreme Masters permanently stationed to suppress humanity... while other Universe Masters could rotate, free to venture into the Universe Ocean for adventures at any time. By seizing all human territory and trapping the entire human faction, they could force humanity into a situation with no room for development. Soon—the alien races within humanity's faction would likely break away, as they too had to consider their own races. This would cause humanity to grow weaker and weaker, eventually making it difficult to establish a foothold in the Original Universe. They might even be forced to retreat to the 'Initial Universe.' “Yet Luo Feng dared to do such a thing...” Chaos City Lord glanced at Luo Feng, sighing inwardly. That plan was too dangerous. Of course, humanity wasn't in danger; the danger was to Luo Feng himself. “It couldn't be done that way. With the Freedom Alliance joining, our side will immediately gain an advantage, and Luo Feng won't need to take risks... The allied forces' objective is destined to fail.” Chaos City Lord waited. He was still in contact with Shi Hua Island Master in the Virtual Universe, and Shi Hua Island Master had just informed him that they would arrive soon. “Hmm?” Luo Feng, Peng Gong Master, and Chaos City Lord all looked through the Star Tower and saw the sudden appearance of six colossal objects in the distant exterior. “They're here!” “They're here!” Luo Feng immediately beamed with joy. Chaos City Lord and even the many Universe Masters inside the Black Prison Tower grew excited. In the void. The allied forces, with their 11 palace supreme treasures, were now positioned very close to each other. They were secretly conferring, as they realized... their sudden sneak attack plan seemed to have been known in advance by the enemy, who had evaded it, thus thwarting their objective. This forced them into a most desperate war of attrition. “They're here.” “The Freedom Alliance has arrived.” They also saw the appearance of the six massive palace supreme treasures in the distance. These six palace supreme treasures exuded overwhelming pressure, clearly a deliberate display by the Universe Masters within them. The six palace supreme treasures of the Freedom Alliance arrived majestically, radiating boundless pressure, as if showcasing the might of the Original Universe's foremost power. “Humanity, we have arrived.” “We have arrived!” Although this space-time was affected by the Universe Supreme Masters, forcing the Virtual Universe to be pushed away, each of them had an avatar in their respective race's territory... naturally allowing them to still connect to the Virtual Universe. Thus, each of the six palace supreme treasures had a representative, clearly representing the six major factions, who contacted humanity. “Freedom Alliance, please quickly assist humanity. Let us unite and repel the enemy allied forces,” Chaos City Lord replied. “No rush.” “Chaos City Lord, don't be anxious.” “You humans, first give us a portion of the legacy information! As agreed, a part before the battle, and the rest after. You provide a portion of the legacy information first... once we've reviewed and confirmed it, we will naturally help you. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to act.” “Indeed.” “First, give us a portion of the legacy information.” The leaders of the six major factions of the Freedom Alliance all echoed this sentiment.
