The Grand Being of the Alien Race

The phrase 'qualified to rank among the cosmic super-powerhouses' stirred Luo Feng's heart. These words came from a Cosmic Strongest... the Grand Being of the Alien Race, who could rival the Giant Axe Creator. In the eyes of the Grand Being of the Alien Race, to be called a cosmic super-powerhouse, one would likely need to be at least a Universe Master. The Grand Being of the Alien Race had two disciples. The eldest disciple, Puti, was a Universe Master. The second disciple, the leader of the Yan God Clan, was also a Universe Master. He was about to become the third disciple, and he estimated he also had the hope of becoming a Universe Master! This ignited a fervent hope in Luo Feng's heart. A Universe Master... Reaching the peak of a Universe Knight, like the Sky Eclipse Palace Master or Xiluoduo, would qualify one as a cosmic overlord. But to take another step and enter the Universe Master level... With time and space under one's complete control, reversing time to revive powerhouses could grant a race an endless vitality. “The Earth human lineage and the Yan God Clan lineage are both my children,” the towering elder, as grand as a mountain, looked down at Luo Feng, his voice rumbling. “You have passed numerous hidden trials and managed to complete the Star Tower's inheritance trial, thus becoming my disciple. You are likely my last disciple.” Luo Feng was secretly stunned. His last disciple? Who could say what the long future held, yet this Grand Being of the Alien Race seemed certain he would only have three disciples. “Don't be surprised,” the towering elder said, his gaze like sunlight illuminating Luo Feng's mind. “For your second senior brother and you, I had ideas and plans from the very early stages of the universe's evolution. I expended countless efforts and the wealth and treasures acquired over countless years; the majority of it was spent on the two of you.” “The majority of wealth and treasures?” Luo Feng was taken aback. “For instance, in creating this Star Tower, even if your human race poured all its strength into it, and even if you possessed my methods for refining ultimate treasures, how many could you refine?” The towering elder turned to Puti. “In contrast, I helped Puti the least.” Puti immediately bowed. “Master, without your help, this disciple would likely have remained an Undying God his entire life.” “Even without me, you would have become a Universe Knight,” the towering elder shook his head. “Among the many servants I took in back then, each possessed excellent talent, and I helped every one of them. With similar talents and my guidance, all the others became Universe Knights, yet only you became a Universe Master.” “Alas, every ultimate treasure in the universe is extremely demanding in choosing its master. For your second and third junior brothers, I began preparations even before they were born.” “This disciple already possesses an ultimate treasure,” Puti quickly said. “Yours doesn't quite count. Among the Universe Masters of the six peak races and numerous powers, your treasure can only be considered average.” The towering elder shook his head. “I am currently preparing an ultimate treasure for you. After collecting materials for endless epochs, it has taken a rough form. I estimate that in another ten million epochs, there will be hope.” Puti prostrated himself in excitement, respectfully and gratefully saying, “Master's efforts are beyond this disciple's ability to repay.” “Haha, my disciples are naturally extraordinary,” the towering elder laughed heartily. “I only hope that one of you three can catch up to me, haha... that would be a great tale in the universe, with both master and disciples being Cosmic Strongest, hahaha...” Luo Feng listened, secretly impressed. This Grand Being of the Alien Race took very few disciples. Moreover, the second and third disciples were chosen by actively guiding the nurturing of new races and creating secret techniques, selecting the most outstanding individuals to be his disciples. It was clear how stringent this Grand Being of the Alien Race was in choosing disciples. Had it not been for the two lineages he personally guided and nurtured, the towering elder would have only chosen the sole Universe Master among his deeply loyal servants to be his eldest disciple. Beyond that! Regardless of the billions of races in the universe, the endless passage of time, or the countless talented powerhouses, the Grand Being of the Alien Race took no other disciples. It was different for someone like the Chaos City Lord, who bore the heavy responsibility of strengthening the human race. Whenever there was a super genius or an unparalleled figure, the human Universe Masters would take them in one by one, resulting in a multitude of direct disciples and an even more astonishing number of registered disciples. Even the Giant Axe Creator was no exception. Such were the ties of a race. But the Grand Being of the Alien Race, a unique life form in the universe with no racial ties, couldn't care less about teaching, no matter how talented one was. Only the races I nurture, like my own children, would I meticulously arrange for. “Luo Feng, my disciple, you haven't called me Master yet,” the towering elder looked at Luo Feng. Luo Feng immediately knelt respectfully, suppressing his excitement as he called out, “Master!” This Grand Being of the Alien Race was the guide of the Earth lineage, arguably the 'creator' of the Earth lineage. Without the Grand Being of the Alien Race, there would be no Earth lineage. “Good.” “Since you are my disciple, as your Master, I will naturally fulfill my responsibilities.” The towering elder's voice rumbled as he looked down at Luo Feng. “I have three habits when teaching disciples. First, I like to prepare resources and conditions that are considered top-tier in the universe for my disciples. Second, I will not teach any secret techniques. Third, whether you live or die, I will not interfere, nor is it possible for me to reverse time and revive you after your death.” Luo Feng was astonished. No secret techniques? No interference with life or death? “True super-powerhouses cannot be taught,” the towering elder said in a deep voice. “Everything depends on yourself. Every Universe Master creates their own secret techniques to reach that level.” “Always having a Master's protection will not make one strong.” “When I teach disciples, I don't teach secret techniques, I don't interfere with life or death, I only provide resources and ultimate treasures.” The towering elder continued, “If you fall on your path to becoming a super-powerhouse, I will select another candidate from the Earth lineage to undergo the life-and-death inheritance and find a third disciple. The two races I guided and nurtured are destined to have leaders, and a leader isn't necessarily limited to one generation. You can only be called the first-generation leader of Earth, and I hope you will be its eternal leader.” His voice rumbled, piercing directly into Luo Feng's soul. Moreover, the voice of this Grand Being of the Alien Race seemed to possess endless magical power, making one involuntarily believe him. “Understood,” Luo Feng respectfully replied. “You understand the principle. No matter how powerful the Master, no matter how many resources or how good the treasures provided, if a disciple doesn't cultivate... then even becoming an Undying is impossible.” The towering elder said in a deep voice, “External resources are important, but personal effort is even more crucial. However, the stronger one becomes, the less impact external help has. With endless treasures, even the worst talent can be cultivated into an Undying as long as they actively train. But cultivating a Universe Knight... places stringent demands on personal effort. Becoming a Universe Master is an incredibly difficult and arduous path. And if one becomes a Universe Master... to advance further, to reach my level, no treasure will be of any use. Your eldest senior brother and second senior brother have both been stuck at this step for endless ages. Among your human race, apart from the Giant Axe Creator, none have taken that final step.” “This disciple understands, and will certainly strive hard,” Luo Feng said, excited. Many powerhouses fear not having enough resources. Why do peak races and super-powers contend? Why do they fight? It's all for resources! Races need resources to nurture geniuses! Powerhouses also need resources to grow! With resources... one has a foundation; the rest depends on personal effort. And what this Grand Being of the Alien Race prepared for Luo Feng... granted him the qualification to 'rank among the cosmic super-powerhouses'. This qualification was those awe-inspiring resources. “For your second senior brother and you, I have prepared two ultimate treasures each.” “That's a total of four ultimate treasures.” “Three of these ultimate treasures are of comparable standard, but only the Star Tower!” “Among your two ultimate treasures, the Star Tower is very special, even stronger than your second senior brother's ultimate treasure.” The towering elder sighed with emotion. “Back then, I expended countless precious materials and treasures to refine the ultimate treasure, the Star Tower. During the process, some special, unexpected circumstances occurred, greatly increasing the Star Tower's power! It can be called one of the strongest ultimate treasures in the universe!” “Although its power greatly increased, its most basic recognition of a master became thousands, even tens of thousands of times more difficult.” “To ensure the Star Tower could recognize a master, I specifically guided and nurtured the Earth human lineage, whose souls possessed stronger will and consciousness. Even so, the first and second candidates still failed. Yet, the Yan God Clan lineage back then could easily make an ultimate treasure recognize them, unlike you, who struggled so much.” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. Indeed, it was arduous. Recalling over six thousand years of agonizing torment, each second felt as long as a year. Those six thousand years... were harder to endure than a normal hundred million years, as if trapped in an endless purgatory, with no end in sight, constantly enduring hardships, constantly persevering, persevering... until finally, only his obsession with his loved ones allowed him to resist... Until he grew weaker and weaker. Fortunately, he succeeded at the last moment! “The Star Tower's power is extremely formidable. Because of the special changes it underwent, even I don't know the limits of its power. Its most basic recognition of a master was already so difficult, driving it will be even harder,” the towering elder said. Luo Feng also understood that, for example, the most basic form of the Shi Wu Wings required comprehending the first layer of the 'Beast God Transformation'. The Shi Wu Wings had very limited use for Universe Masters. But the Star Tower was an ultimate treasure suitable for Cosmic Strongest! One of the strongest ultimate treasures in the universe! When it had no master to control it, it rendered Universe Masters helpless, and even the Cosmic Strongest of the four peak races couldn't force their way. Its usage conditions would naturally be far more stringent than those of the Shi Wu Wings. “Your human Master, the Chaos City Lord, is among the top echelon of 'Universe Masters' in the vast universe. Even your second senior brother can barely compare to the Chaos City Lord, perhaps even slightly inferior.” “But if you can become a Universe Master in the future, with these two ultimate treasures, especially the Star Tower, you will be able to rival the Chaos City Lord, and even overpower him.” “Such is the power of the strongest ultimate treasures.” The towering elder said, “The Star Tower is one ultimate treasure. The other ultimate treasure I prepared for you is called 'Jie Jia'.” “Jie Jia?” Luo Feng was startled. “The Jie Jia has always been kept within the Yan God Clan, temporarily safeguarded by your second senior brother. This Jie Jia... with the provision of special resources, can produce a large number of armor beads of varying power: Soldier Armor Beads, General Armor Beads, King Armor Beads, and Emperor Armor Beads... These armor beads are very suitable for the Yan God Clan, but they are all used by those below the Universe Knight level, at most providing overall combat power for the entire race. The Jie Jia itself is the ultimate treasure, an ultimate treasure suitable for Universe Masters, with endless power. It is your second ultimate treasure.” Luo Feng's heart surged with excitement. Soldier Armor, General Armor, King Armor, Emperor Armor... they were all born from the Jie Jia? “One Jie Jia, and one Star Tower, even more terrifying than the Jie Jia.” “The two ultimate treasures prepared by the Grand Being of the Alien Race for the future leader of the Earth lineage to traverse the universe.” “Both of these are even more formidable than the Shi Wu Wings, ultimate treasures capable of making Universe Masters envious, even mad. I hope their usage conditions aren't too stringent.” Luo Feng, however, began to worry. With his current strength, could he truly wield such terrifying ultimate treasures?
