Chapter 1073: The Last Step of the Plan!
Extreme Demon Realm.
Humans had taken down eight huge chaos realms?!
The Demon Gods were all shocked.
Unbelievable!
After confirming the news several times, they finally believed that it was true.
The four peak Demon Gods, namely Nine Lives Demon God, Demon God Myriad Spirit, Demon God Madonna, and Demon God Heavenly Dream looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were at a loss for words and action.
After a long time, they finally recovered from their shock.
"How many huge chaos realms do humans have now?" Demon God Myriad Spirit's voice was a little hoarse.
"Thirty." Demon God Madonna's voice was calm but heavy.
Silence fell once again.
When the four peak Demon Gods thought about how they only had two territories left, they felt miserable.
30:2!
When did the gap between them and humans become so big?
Before the war between the low-dimensional races, they still had the confidence to pull the humans down and look forward to the rise of their race...
But now, they could barely see where the humans were.
What should they do?
The four peak Demon Gods were silent for a long time.
They couldn't beat them, neither by strategy nor force.
Even their backing was weak.
"Make peace. Right now, the human race and the devil race each have a strongest expert," Demon God Madonna said. "It's very uncomfortable for us demon race to be stuck in the middle. Instead of being forced to make a decision later on, it's better to make our stand clear now."
"Agreed." Demon God Heavenly Dream said, "There's a saying among humans that a wise man understands the times. Face is not important to us. What's most important is to obtain real protection and stability."
"Alright." Nine Lives sighed.
"Since it's decided, I'll go negotiate with the humans." Demon God Myriad Spirit immediately stood up.
Becoming vassals of experts was nothing shameful.
...
The Primal Devil Realm.
Jiang Jun sat on the throne of the Sovereign, his hand resting on his chin. His refined tail thumped the ground rhythmically, and his cold eyes were filled with a sharp light.
The atmosphere was very depressing.
The five peak Devil Gods frowned, their expressions extremely ugly.
The humans had taken down all eight ownerless huge chaos realms in one go!
This news was like a bolt from the blue.
If it was before, they would have been overjoyed.
After all, humans had just consumed a huge amount of energy in refinement, and the last two territories that had just been refined were under the control of Venerates. Taking down the human territories with weak defense was easy.
But now, they could only watch as the humans grew stronger!
They didn't even have the ability to stop it.
Could they drag the demon race with them and attack the humans?
Their defeat in the war between the low-dimensional races still lingered in the hearts of every devil race expert.
Even if the combined strength of the two races was not inferior to humans, they had completely lost the will to compete.
They could not win.
"Child's Heart." Jiang Jun suddenly spoke.
"What instructions does the Sovereign have?" Devil God Child's Heart bowed.
Jiang Jun's cold eyes flashed. "Go and tell Sage Emperor that I'm out of seclusion. He can come and see me."
"Yes, Sovereign." Devil God Child's Heart answered.
The four Devil Gods looked at each other, not understanding what the Sovereign meant.
Negotiate with humans?
Or... What other plans do he have?
...
Human Sanctuary.
The various factions were overjoyed.
They had thought that winning the war between the low-dimensional races was already great news.
Unexpectedly, there was more!
In the blink of an eye, humanity had gained eight ownerless huge chaos realms!
Each of the five huge chaos realms refined by the Primordial Star had a specific region where cities would be built. Any human expert who belonged to the Human Sanctuary could enter and cultivate!
"As expected of the human race's commander-in-chief. Your methods are really endless." Sage Emperor was amazed.
"It is much more joyful to share the joy than enjoy alone," Wang Ye said with a smile. "If the Primordial Star and humans have it good, the Human Sanctuary will be better."
Sage Emperor stroked his beard and chuckled.
He had been worried that Primordial Star taking over so many territories would attract some jealous and discordant voices.
But it seemed that Wang Ye had already made arrangements.
Judging from the reactions of the leaders of the 18 top factions, it was obvious.
It was quite generous to share a portion of their territory!
If it was just one of the territories, it would not be of much use.
But now, all five chaos realms contributed a chaos domain. In total, not only was the area of the domains half of a huge chaos realm, but the five different cultivation environments allowed a wider range of cultivation options.
Only the wealthy Primordial Star could do this.
The other supreme factions only had three huge chaos realms at most. They did not even have enough for themselves.
"Make friends with the top factions and win their hearts. Little brother, are you suggesting to dismiss Sage Emperor?" Elegant Queen walked over in a graceful manner. She smiled and said, "If that's the case, then it's really too elegant. I'll vote for you."
Sage Emperor's smile was a little unnatural.
With Wang Ye's current prestige and his relationship with Slaughter Emperor, as long as he wanted to, the position of human leader was not impossible.
"There's no such thing." Wang Ye laughed it off. "I'm not interested in power. When the expansion plan is over and the situation stabilizes, I'm going into seclusion."
Sage Emperor took a deep look at Wang Ye and understood what he meant.
He and Wu Tian had completely different personalities and walked completely different paths, but their desire to pierce through the sky was the same.
If humanity wanted to rise, it was far from enough to rely on the huge chaos realms alone.
The Sky race had already received the news, but why was there no movement at all?
On one hand, the relationship between the Sky race and the humans was delicate and difficult to deal with.
On the other hand, no matter how many huge chaos realms there were, there was still a huge gap between them and the ten Primal Chaos Stars.
Elegant Queen blinked and said, "The expansion plan is not over yet? What's the next step? Unifying the low-dimensional races? Big sister is looking forward to it."
Wang Ye smiled widely.
He didn't explain or reveal too much.
The last step of the plan was very important, and he didn't need too many people to know.
In particular, he had not completely removed the suspicion of Elegant Queen as a mole in his heart.

Nirvana Star.
An ownerless Primal Chaos Star.
With Strongest Expert Tian Xuanya as the leader, he led the five Supreme King Corps under him to guard the place.
The Chieftain Star had already been refined, which meant that the Strength race and Spirit race might have grasped the ability to forcefully refine Primal Chaos Stars.
Although they might not be able to stop the two races if they really wanted to refine it, at the very least, they still had to put up a defense.
The heavenly warriors took turns to guard and cultivate.
The guarding mission was as peaceful as ever.
Until...
Swoosh! A dimensional crack appeared.
Following that, dimensional passageways opened one by one.
Countless powerful Strength race warriors charged over, seemingly coming from the depths of an endless distance.
Kan Niba was in the lead, his imposing aura surging into the sky as he headed straight for the Sky King Corps.
He was unstoppable and the Sky race members were defeated one after another!
After the Spirit race released explosives on the Spacetime Star, the Strength race launched a frontal assault on the Sky race.
The war started again!
...
The Celestial Star.
Lotaro, Nether Emperor, and Letty, the three leaders of the Sky race, gathered.
They were in charge of the Celestial Star, the Ancestral Star, and the Spacetime Star respectively.
"How long has it been since we last met?" Nether Emperor spoke.
"I can't remember," said Lotaro.
"It has to be traced back to the ancient war between the divine spirits," said Letty.
The three strongest experts looked at each other.
They had different emotions.
At that time, they weren't divine sons and goddesses yet, and their strength was far from reaching their peak.
Unknowingly, so many eras have passed.
"Let's get down to business. The Spirit race and the Strength race have attacked us again," said Lotaro. "What do you think?"
"Fight them," Nether Emperor spoke.
"What did the Dark race say?" said Lotaro.
"They said that if the Sky race can't hold on any longer, they will attack." Nether Emperor spoke.
"Trash Dark race!" Lotaro sneered. "They really think they're something. How's the situation on the Spacetime Star?"
"The Spirit race is very cunning," Letty said. "They won't stop until they achieve their goal. Currently, they're just holding us back and creating chaos."
Lotaro nodded. "By the way, humans have occupied the eight ownerless chaos realms. Are they working with the Spirit race?"
"Judging from the time and the spiritual spell grand arrays needed for refinement, it's highly possible," said Letty. "But... Without concrete evidence, humans will not admit it."
"What evidence do we need?" Lotaro's eyes gleamed. "We'll deal with those despicable low-dimensional races after we settle the Strength race and the Spirit race!"
Nether Emperor replied," We can talk about this later. How are the casualties on Nirvana Star?"
"It's a mess!" Lotaro gritted his teeth. "Tian Xuanya was besieged by three strongest experts and suffered serious injuries. Two of the five Supremes died, and half of the King Corps was lost!"
"That many?" Letty frowned. "Back when Tian Shanu attacked the humans, she was ambushed by the Strength race too and was also injured."
Lotaro's eyes gleamed coldly. "Those brutes of the Strength race deserve to die!"
Nether Emperor suddenly spoke, "Is there a possibility that the Strength race and the Spirit race are using the boiling frog phenomenon to weaken our combat prowess bit by bit?"
"Now that you put it that way, it does look like it." Lotaro nodded in realization.
Nether Emperor said, "We're currently in huge trouble in the Primeval Cosmic Sea too. It's difficult for us to take care of both. However, the Spirit race and the Strength race have it different. They only need to slowly sharpen their weapons. On one hand, they can accumulate and replenish their combat prowess, while on the other hand, they will weaken our strength and morale.
When the time is right, they will have the absolute advantage and defeat us in one fell swoop!"
Letty nodded thoughtfully. "It's quite possible. We have to defend ourselves well. We can't let the strongest experts be alone which will give the Strength race a chance to take advantage of us."
"That makes sense. Do you think the target of the Strength race and the Spirit race is the Nirvana Star?" asked Lotaro after some thought.
Nether Emperor replied, "It doesn't seem like it at the moment. After the Strength race severely injured Tian Xuanya and his Supreme King Corps, they left very quickly. If their target was the Nirvana Star, they would've immediately guarded and refined it."
"In terms of their target," Letty said, "It's likely to be the Primordial Star."
Nether Emperor spoke, "This is just the beginning. We still can't confirm the true intentions of the Strength race and the Spirit race. We can't be too anxious, lest we fall into their trap."
Lotaro nodded. "Since that's the case, the three of us will make arrangements based on our territories. We'll focus on defense."
"We'll deal with the changes by staying the same," Letty said. "Let's see what tricks the Spirit race and the Strength race are playing."
Nether Emperor said, "I will be on guard against the Dark race. Letty, be careful of the humans. They might have some plans for the Primordial Star."
"I've asked Jiang Jun to keep a close eye on Slaughter Emperor," said Letty. "If there's anything unusual, he'll inform me."
"Alright!" Lotaro's eyes were sharp. "Then, I wish us victory in our first cooperation! We'll let the Strength race and the Spirit race know who the true master of the high-dimensional cosmic is!"
