A Spy Without Ambition

Chapter 145 A Spy Without Ambition

The Serpent People are a significant branch of humanity in the universe, comprising at least several thousand major subgroups. They are smaller than the Dragon People and roughly the size of the Werewolves.

It seems that these subhuman groups, which are different from humans in the conventional sense, are groups that have followed their ancestors since the time of the progenitors. Over the long years, they have been completely integrated into the social system of humankind in the universe and are not subject to discrimination.

Since it was the cosmic overlord, Venerable Tip, who took the initiative to request a meeting in reality, Li Che temporarily settled in a starry sky within the Desolate Peak Universe, while simultaneously researching information about the Snake People and Venerable Tip.

Within the Serpent People lineage, there are four beings at the level of Cosmic Venerables. Two of them are considered relatively ordinary mid-level Venerables, one is one of the rulers of the 1008 Cosmic Kingdom, and the other is a Cosmic Overlord, namely Venerable Tip.

According to the records of the Giant Axe Arena, this Venerable Tip is not ancient among humans, much younger than Venerables like the Lord of the Qianwu Kingdom, but he is exceptionally talented and progresses very quickly. He is a cosmic overlord who is extremely skilled in soul control.

Li Che carefully compared the period of Tipu Venerable's rise to power and felt that it was roughly the same time as the rise of the Yan God Clan, a former branch of humanity.

Although this Venerable Tip is a cosmic overlord, he is only the second-in-command of the snake people. Although he is stronger, he is willing to be subordinate to the cosmic ruler in terms of influence. He has not even joined any of the five major powers and only obeys the orders from the human race.

He dislikes fighting, adventure, and even making friends. Records indicate that he was once keen on exploring secret realms in his early years and possessed four ordinary treasures. However, he now spends most of his time lending them to the cosmic venerables of the Serpent People. He himself spends most of his time in the Serpent People's cosmic kingdom, occasionally teaching some disciples and younger generations.

These actions made Venerable Tipu highly respected within the Serpent People's tribe, but he was inconspicuous among the human tribe.

After reading the news about Venerable Tipu, Lichemosuo lowered his chin, but his emotions were slightly stirred.

The leaders of the major clans, top forces, and giant alliances are well aware that among the many immortal gods of any major power, there are occasionally some alien beings.

After all, once one becomes an immortal god, their soul and divine body merge, making it extremely difficult to distinguish the race of a powerful being.

Creating clones, seizing bodies, and then breaking through to immortality is almost equivalent to changing one's race and identity, something even the Lord of the Universe would find difficult to see through.

Like Luo Feng in the original timeline, when he went to the Starry Sky Beast Alliance during his immortal stage, even the Golden Horn Lord, who was at the level of the Lord of the Universe, could not see through his human nature.

Even a top-tier fifth-order Chaos City Lord, with control over the primordial universe, would be unable to distinguish whether a powerful individual with a human divine body was human or an alien race.

Only the strongest beings in the universe, such as the Mountain-Sitting Guest and the Starry Sky Beast Ancestor, who possess special abilities, can see through the true nature of alien powerhouses at a glance.

Such as the originator of humanity's giant axe and the primordial ancestor hidden in the shadows, the supreme queen of the insectoid race, and the two great demon ancestors of the demon race...

They all basically have similar methods.

Generally speaking, these strongest beings in the universe will probe the cosmic venerables within their own race to ensure the purity of their race.

As for the immortal gods, there are simply too many powerful beings at the immortal level, and the strongest beings in the universe are unwilling to waste time searching for every problematic individual.

For the reasons mentioned above, the immortal levels in top races such as humans, insectoids, and demons are bound to be infiltrated by other races, but the level of cosmic venerables can basically be guaranteed to be free from alien races.

But this Venerable Tip seems to be a special alien race that has escaped the notice of the founder of the giant axe and the progenitor.

After all, the other party's teacher was that incredibly mysterious mountain dweller, and he had never done anything detrimental to the human race, so the lords of the universe would not doubt him.

He was a spy from another race, but one without any ambition.

As his thoughts raced, Li Che suddenly noticed that the space around him was slightly distorted. Then, a huge, green palace appeared and instantly teleported to the edge of his line of sight.

In front of that enormous hall, an elderly snake-man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with a somewhat hunched posture, was coiled up, facing Li Che from a distance.

A top-tier palace-type treasure is quite understated for a dignified ruler of the universe.

Glancing at the enormous hall, Li Che inwardly grumbled, but still managed a smile. He teleported to the front of the massive, turquoise palace and greeted it, "Venerable Tipu, I've long admired your name."

His radiant light swept over the divine body of Venerable Tipu without any concealment, but he could only see faint fluctuations of the fundamental laws of time on the surface of the body, without any trace of the aura of a cosmic master controlling spacetime.

In Li Che's eyes, this was a typical cosmic overlord within the human race, with 100 times the genetic level, 100 times the soul amplitude, and the fundamental laws of space that he was just a hair's breadth away from completely mastering.

Is this some kind of disguise by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, or has this avatar of the other party never actually completed the transformation into the divine body of the Lord of the Universe over the years?

Li Che was very curious about the old man's condition.

"It was my greed that led me to disturb Venerable Guixu without cause."

Venerable Tipu squinted, a glint of spiritual light seemingly flashing in his eyes, as if searching for some special aura in Li Che. After a moment, he returned to normal and smiled.

Li Che personally invited Venerable Tipu into the Guixu Fortress, brought out some delicacies and wines from the Luhai Secret Realm, and chatted with him.

"I admire that Venerable Tip has reached the level of refining ordinary treasures in just ten epochs." Li Che looked at Tip with a hint of wariness. After all, the other party was a universe master, and his level was at least at the third rank.

"It's just that I'm more compatible with that inheritance. My spatial laws haven't improved at all over the years, so I'm always looking for some external inheritance to help me break through."

Tip Venerable remained calm and composed, behaving just like an ordinary cosmic overlord, his voice revealing the surprise and pride of having crafted an ordinary treasure.

"So, why did you come to see me this time, Venerable One?" Li Che chatted with the other party for a few words, then got straight to the point.

He was very curious whether the arrival of this Lord of the Universe was due to the will of the Mountain Dweller.

"Buzz!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tipu waved his hand gently, and an inexplicable wave immediately rippled outward from him. It was not the control of space and time, but some kind of secret technique, which made the surrounding virtual universe unable to sense it.

"To get straight to the point, Venerable Guixu, I have had some special experiences, receiving some inheritances from an ancient civilization similar to yours, and thus establishing a connection with a great being from another race."

The Venerable Tip smiled, perhaps to show sincerity, and refrained from using any soul-based methods on Li Che. "That great being is very interested in the ancient civilization's legacy within you and hopes to meet you."

Is it really that undisguised?

Li Che was somewhat surprised, but he could roughly understand the feelings of Venerable Tipu, or rather, the mountain dweller behind him.

If I refuse, the Mountain Dwellers will probably secretly descend upon human territory.

"If you pass on your legacy to a powerful alien race, aren't you afraid of being investigated by your own race?" Li Che feigned shock, his expression becoming slightly serious.

"It's alright. Neither the Primordial Ancestor nor the Giant Axe Founder are the strongest beings in ordinary universes. They may have guessed that I have a secret, but they may wish to use me as a medium to maintain contact with that great being. After many years of tacit understanding, they will not say anything," Venerable Tip said leisurely.

"Which universe's strongest being is it?" Li Che continued to ask, feigning ignorance.

"The mountain dweller!" Venerable Tipu said in a low voice.
