Chapter 710
A Culinary Feast of Ten Thousand Races
"The nine holy clans are developing very well."
"They even formed an alliance and get along so amicably."
"In that case, everything becomes much easier."
Xu Chen took a step forward and arrived directly in the center of the star sea area that was empty between the nine holy races.
A magnificent council temple stands here, a dedicated temple for the leaders of the nine holy clans to discuss important matters.
The main hall is guarded by an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert and nine other Saint Venerable Realm powerhouses.
Xu Chen emerged from the void, and the powerful figures guarding the area were instantly suppressed.
At the same time, a unique aura spread out, reaching all nine holy clans.
"How dare you!"
Sensing this unfamiliar aura, the nine holy race leaders simultaneously crossed the void and descended.
However, the moment it arrived here, its body, soul, and true spirit were instantly controlled.
All the holy masters were so shocked that they were speechless.
Xu Chen didn't bother with any more words and directly released the repaired Source Heart Dojo.
When that aura of controlling all paths spread out, all the Holy Lords were stunned.
They were all too familiar with this aura emanating from the Great Dao.
"This is the priest's aura!"
"Why was it released from this dojo?!"
"Could the priest be inside the monastery?"
"Your priest died defending the border demons, and now the starry sea reflected by this myriad rivers belongs to our human race!"
"You have two choices: one is to become vassals of my human race."
"Secondly, the entire clan will be relocated, freeing up this area of the Star Sea."
Xu Chen's words resounded like thunder in the hearts of the nine holy clan leaders.
Although he controlled the nine Holy Lords, Xu Chen did not restrict their divine power.
After exchanging their thoughts, the nine Holy Lords all chose the second option.
Xu Chen released himself from control, and the nine Holy Lords returned to their respective clans to begin discussing the relocation.
As he watched the ripples left in the void when the nine Holy Lords departed, Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly.
"Such a vast territory is enough for the human race to cultivate a powerful expert above the Great Dao."
"I am a kind-hearted person, and I did not exterminate you alien races."
Since Xu Chen learned that these Holy Races were the source of the troops of the descendants of those God Races, his killing intent towards the alien races has lessened considerably. At least, as long as they don't provoke him, he won't kill them.
According to Xu Chen's observations, the nine holy races in this star sea region are relatively harmonious. Of course, they have also fought each other and even killed each other, but these were just inter-race conflicts, which is not surprising.
Therefore, Xu Chen, being kind-hearted, spared their lives.
Xu Chen waved his hand gently, and a spatial portal appeared not far away.
Da Xu and Er Xu walked out of the spatial portal.
"This star sea is quite impressive. It is rich in stellar energy, and the myriad rivers of energy it contains are deeper than those of ordinary star seas."
"The only downside is that this place is close to the boundary area, so the amount of energy required to break through space is three times more than before, and the cost of grafting a space tunnel here is two times higher. But these are minor issues."
Da Xu evaluated this Starry Sea area with a professional eye.
"There are still nine holy clans here; the slaves should be exterminated."
As he spoke, Da Xu waved his hand and released six innate treasure warships. Each warship was equipped with one mid-grade innate treasure cannon and eight low-grade innate treasure cannons.
A single volley of fire could destroy a sacred race.
“I gave them a million years to move on their own.”
Xu Chen's words drew curious glances from both Xu Da and Xu Er.
“This isn’t like you at all,” Er Xu couldn’t help but say.
"This concerns the future development path of the human race."
"The cause and effect behind me only cares about me. No matter what the outcome is, I will make sure that before I advance to the Great Dao, the human race will have one more expert above the Great Dao."
"At that time, our human race will be upgraded to the god race. The most important duty of the god race is to guard the borders."
"At that time, not only will our own tribe have to contribute, but other subordinate tribes will also have to draw strength from it to form an army and guard the border."
"So, unless you provoke me, I won't kill you," Xu Chen explained leisurely.
"I see~"
Upon hearing Xu Chen's words, the two Xus, Da Xu and Er Xu, suddenly realized what he meant.
"Since it will take a million years, I will use that time to build the largest possible space. Once the nine holy races leave, the human race will be able to teleport here as quickly as possible."
Da Xu glanced at the spatial portal beside him, quickly racking his brains for a solution.
"Then take your time~"
As he spoke, Xu Chen stepped through the spatial portal and returned to the Great Stream Sect Master Realm.
At this moment, the Great Stream Sect was peaceful, with many disciples either cultivating, discussing the Dao, or relaxing.
"Recently, the Golden Armor Thunder Bull clan has gained an invincible Saint Venerable Realm expert. Can you guess who it is?"
Xu Chen and Yang Wanshan were enjoying tea by a fairy-tale sea.
“Niu Dali.” Xu Chen did not use cause and effect or fate to explore this question.
“Niu Dali is now a peak Saint Venerable Realm expert. In recent years, he has contributed a lot to the sect. We originally wanted to use the origin of the human race's Great Dao to infuse him and elevate him to the invincible Saint Venerable Realm, but he refused no matter what. Instead, he asked for a qualification to go to the Origin Heart Dojo.”
"It was his son, Niu Xiaosheng, who achieved the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm, and is now one of your personal guard adjutants." Yang Wanshan said, picking up a Primordial Treasure-level spiritual fruit from the plate and putting it in his mouth.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I also have a foreign honor guard." Xu Chen explored that ancient memory.
“You don’t need to. The honor guard usually goes to do some human missions. It’s a pity that the human race has been too peaceful these years. They have nothing to do and can only stay at home to cultivate.”
Yang Wanshan picked up another spiritual fruit from the plate and tossed it to the Nine Saint Cat on Xu Chen's lap.
"There will be a lot of things to do later. After the main lineage of the human race and our Great Stream Sect relocate there, they will need to control such a vast star sea region. At that time, almost half of the strong members of the clan will have to attack and subdue the surrounding alien races."
The starfield where the human race will relocate in the future is home to numerous other major races besides the nine holy races.
Although Xu Chen spared the nine great holy clans, he had already decided in his heart that these clans would be subordinate to him. Those with potential would be nurtured, while those without potential would be assigned to dirty and tiring jobs.
"By the way, now that the Star Sea is no longer controlled by a powerful expert above the Great Dao, do you think other powerful experts above the Great Dao might come and occupy this Star Sea?" Yang Wanshan asked curiously, this question having been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"No, our Star Sea Domain has always adhered to the principle that with great power comes great responsibility."
“If a powerful figure from the Great Dao were to occupy this area, the tasks assigned to them would definitely become more demanding. They would be trying to avoid it, so why would they occupy it?” Xu Chen smiled slightly.
"Then, shouldn't our human race also bear corresponding responsibility for occupying that star sea?"
"We will definitely have to take responsibility, but that's something for after our human race becomes a god."
Xu Chen's divine sense swept across the nine great holy clans, who at this time had already begun preparations for relocation on an extremely large scale.
"At this rate, it probably won't even take 20 years to move everything."
"They're doing pretty well," Xu Chen said, quite satisfied with the speed at which these holy race members were relocating.
Two hundred thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, the star seas that were originally occupied by the nine holy races began to see the emergence of various major realms of the human race.
The main realm of the human race, the main realm of the Great Stream Sect, the main realm of the Great Dao Palace, the main realm of the Daoist sect...
Because this star sea area is too vast, after the nine holy races left, all the humans who moved here only occupied less than one ten-thousandth of this star sea area.
"Finally, there's a place where I can really unleash my potential."
In the Divine Palace of the Human Emperor, the Holy Lord of the Profound Cauldron said excitedly that he had been cooped up in the previous Star Sea Domain for hundreds of millions of years, and now he could finally do something.
Following the words of the Xuan Ding Saint Lord, the other human powerhouses echoed him, their faces showing joy.
"Xu Sheng, I already know what the human race will do after it advances to the god race, as you mentioned. In the future, we will try our best to allocate some resources to cultivate vassal races," the Human Emperor said to Xu Chen.
"Now I can leave with peace of mind." Xu Chen decided to go and take a look at the Primordial God Clan, and then return to cultivate in peace.
"Then be careful on your journey to the gods."
"Nothing will happen under normal circumstances."
After chatting with many powerful human beings for a while, Xu Chen returned to his cave dwelling.
Inside the cave, Yang Ling'er and Su Yueyao were petting a cat.
Nine-Saint Cat lay between the two men's legs, enjoying their caresses.
Upon seeing Xu Chen return, it jumped up and landed on Xu Chen's shoulder.
"Husband~"
Su Yueyao stood up, while Yang Ling'er had already rushed over to hug Xu Chen and took a deep breath.
"You're sucking my yang energy every day, aren't you?" Xu Chen said with a smile, stroking Yang Ling'er's hair.
"I'm going to the Primordial God Clan. You all stay home and cultivate diligently. I'll bring you gifts when I return."
Upon hearing that Xu Chen was leaving, a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the two women.
"It won't be long, maybe tens of thousands of years before they come back."
Xu Chen felt that it wouldn't take long for him to just wander around the Protoss.
"Go, my husband, we'll wait for you at home." Su Yueyao came to Xu Chen's side and hugged both Xu Chen and Yang Ling'er.
A warship, a primordial treasure, flew out from the human territory and headed towards the nearest void station of the Primordial God Clan.
Three thousand years later, within the territory of the Primordial God Clan, Xie Xuan was fighting a demon imprisoned in a cage. To call it a battle was akin to being tortured.
Xie Xuan was repeatedly defeated by the alien demons, but he recovered each time, becoming stronger with each battle.
Even so, in the end, its very essence gave way, and it was defeated by this otherworldly demon.
"A demon with top-tier, invincible Saint Venerable combat power is indeed difficult to deal with. Even if one advances to the realm of invincible Saint Venerable, one's cultivation still needs to be improved before one can fight him to a draw." Xie Xuan said with a sigh.
Just then, a message arrived. After reading it, Xie Xuan's eyes lit up, and he finally left his cave.
A magnificent, seven-colored divine city stands, with a teleportation hall at its very center.
Inside the main hall, Xie Xuan stood in front of a teleportation array, his expression full of anticipation.
Accompanied by a flash of seven-colored divine light mixed with spatial power, Xu Chen's figure appeared in the teleportation array.
"Is this the Primordial God Race?"
Xu Chen looked at the temple, which seemed to be built from dazzling materials, and felt a sense of exoticism.
"You primordial gods seem to have a great fondness for these colors~"
"This one……"
"That's not quite right. It's just that most of the weapon refiners in my clan use the Seven-Colored Divine Fire to refine their weapons. The things they refine are influenced by the original divine fire and will more or less have the color of the seven colors."
Xie Xuan raised his hand, and a ball of seven-colored divine fire appeared in his hand.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I have arranged a grand feast of culinary arts from all races for you. The dishes alone cost over a million. I hope you will enjoy yourself to the fullest this time."
Xu Chen's eyes immediately lit up with divine light. The grand feast of culinary arts of all races—he knew it was no ordinary event.
"Let's go, I must savor Fellow Daoist's kindness."
At this moment, most of the people inside the temple were primordial gods whose bodies were engulfed in divine fire, and their gazes were mostly fixed on Xu Chen.
Those alien races who can enter the Primordial God Clan are either exceptionally strong or have made significant contributions to their race.
Sensing such gazes, Xu Chen smiled and nodded to those around him.
Within a vast and beautiful secret realm.
Xu Chen and Xie Xuan sat at a huge spatial table, slowly savoring the dishes that were turned around in front of them.
"This is good~"
"This is delicious!"
"I really like this!"
Xu Chen was increasingly delighted as he ate, and a great sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
"If Fellow Daoist Xu likes it, I'll have him make ten more servings." Xie Xuan was also tasting it from the side.
"I can't accept that. It's not easy for me to come all the way to your divine race. Ten portions are too few. I'd like to buy a few more to take back with me. I wonder how much divine source this table of dishes contains?" Xu Chen asked.
"A table of three thousand crystals of Great Dao Divine Source, I wonder how many you would like, friend? I'll have them prepare them."
"Then I want ten thousand servings."
Xu Chen was somewhat surprised by the price. After calculating his own resources, he ordered 10,000 copies.
Knowing Xu Chen's financial resources, Xie Xuan didn't hesitate to have the kitchen prepare.
The Grand Feast of Ten Thousand Races featured over a million dishes, and Xu Chen ate them for three whole months, giving extremely high praise to every single one of them.
Inside Xie Xuan's cave.
Xu Chen glanced at Xie Xuan, who was fighting against the alien demons in the illusory battle world.
In the end, Xie Xuan's vital energy was exhausted, and he was killed by a demon with a single palm strike, thus ending the battle.
"I advanced to the Invincible Saint Venerable Realm around the same time as you, fellow Daoist. I wonder if you could comment on my battle just now?" Xie Xuan looked at Xu Chen sincerely.
"Your combat power has been pushed to its limit. If your origin can be restored in the Star Sea Domain, Fang Yimo will definitely not be your match."
"It's just that the battlefield is set up on the border, so Fellow Daoist Xie's fighting methods are a bit too extravagant."
Xu Chen thought for a moment and then compromised his words.
"He's extravagant, but when it comes to fighting him, even with his ultimate divine powers and his own most powerful techniques, he can't harm the demon at all." Xie Xuan revealed a humble expression, eager to learn.
"I suppose your ancestors also gave you guidance."
As Xu Chen spoke, he stepped into the battle realm, where the alien demons had returned to their peak condition.
“Similar evaluations have been made before, but the cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, and even the original combat knowledge of our clan consume a great deal of resources. If we want to conserve them, their power will naturally be weakened.”
"The power is weakened and it cannot achieve the effect of severely injuring the Otherworldly Demon."
"This is also one of the dilemmas faced by all the major divine races and holy races."
A mid-grade innate supreme treasure battle blade appeared in Xu Chen's hand.
"So, your clan never considered the power of military strategy." (End of Chapter)
