Devouring the Starry Sky: Giants of Light at the beginning

Chapter 1002 The Primordial Ancestor of the Cultivator Camp
Within the endless primordial space, nine primordial lords stood tall, their vast Dao rules constantly resonating with each other, and terrifying power swept out wave after wave.

At this moment, in front of the nine Hunyuan Lords, both the innate Hunyuan Life Faction and the Ice Peak Faction paled in comparison.

As for the non-aligned camp, it completely disintegrated with the disappearance of Mogus.

"We've lost!"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor sighed. This time, its Infinite Serpent Clan suffered heavy losses, losing two Primordial Ancestors, and in the end, it gained nothing.

After returning, the pressure from both within the clan and the camp will likely be considerable.

Fortunately, the addition of an eternal being—the Endless Progenitor—has been a buff to this faction in some ways.

An immortal being's influence far surpasses that of an ordinary Primordial Ancestor; it's not a difference in strength, but rather a difference in the margin for error.

However, compared to the cultivator camp, this improvement is completely meaningless.

The Endless Ancestor was upgraded from the Primordial Chaos Ancestor to an Eternal Being, and the increase in strength was not significant. However, the Ninth Lord was promoted in one step, which is equivalent to directly gaining an additional Eternal Being.

"Let's go!"

The Infinite Serpent Ancestor beckoned to the Primordial Ancestor. Although the combined attack of the cultivators was strong, it was still no match for the Primordial Ancestor's defense.

The "Ancestor Core" has already fallen into the hands of the cultivators, and it is completely impossible to compete for it. How could anyone possibly snatch something from the hands of the nine Lords of Hunyuan?

Even if all the progenitors of all naturally occurring chaotic life forms were to arrive, it would probably still be quite difficult.

Or rather, if that were done, the lords would probably be laughing their heads off.

After the naturally formed Hunyuan Life Faction left, the Lone Rangers also departed one after another.

"Yuan, congratulations. It seems I'll be coming to the cultivators' territory for the celebration again soon," the Feather Emperor said with a smile.

Although there was some conflict just now, it did not affect the relationship between the two parties at all after the conflict ended.

"welcome……"

Yuan said, "Luo Feng is a genuine Hunyuan Lord. Once he breaks through, he becomes an immortal being, enough to directly qualify for the Eternal Seat."

Many of the progenitors left one after another, leaving only the cultivator camp and the ice-bound camp present.

“Yuan, this is the territory of my Ice Peak faction. You should leave.” The Ice Peak Ancestor said expressionlessly.

This is the territory of the Wugu progenitor. Under the destruction of many progenitors, the operation of the entire world cluster has been disrupted.

"Haha, I almost forgot, Bingfeng, see you next time!"

Yuan laughed loudly, then swaggered away with many lords, taking with him some intact source worlds and the lives of surviving cultivators.

With nine lords all coming out, they should at least bring something back with them.

With the lords' power, they could easily move some source worlds, since the latter wouldn't resist and would probably be eager to leave.

Seeing the lords' actions, the progenitor of the Ice Peak faction chose to ignore them, since it wasn't his own territory that was being lost.

After the lords left, the progenitor Wugu, having regained some of his strength, rushed back to his territory. Seeing the devastation of the world cluster, with only ruins remaining, he was nearly driven mad with anger.

Fortunately, the neighboring world cluster and some resources that need to be mined are still there, so the race won't run out of food.

"Cultivator Lords, you just wait!" roared the Progenitor Wugu.

……

The First Land!
The council chamber, which already had eight Dark Realm Crystal chairs, now had one more seat added.

"I didn't expect a new lord to be born so quickly!" As soon as they sat down, the lords exclaimed in surprise.

"Moreover, they are master and disciple, two lords from one family. Is there some special treasure hidden in the Origin Continent?"

"I wonder if another lord could be born?"

The lord only said a few words, congratulating Luo Feng while making a joke.

However, the fact that a single source world could produce two lords, and even a master-disciple relationship between them, is indeed beyond everyone's imagination.

"Now that we have nine lords, a mere three thousand six hundred worlds are not enough for us to divide. It's time to expand outwards and let them all belong to our cultivators' world groups," the Golden Lord said menacingly.

"That's right, countless primordial worlds, radiant with the brilliance of naturally occurring chaotic life, await our salvation," Lord Minghuang said angrily.

"Expand our territory!"

Luo Feng was also very excited. When he became the Lord of Hunyuan, cultivators would be in a state of peace and have almost no opportunity to use their skills.

However, after gaining a deeper understanding of the entire Hunyuan Space notification situation, he discovered that there was still much he could do.

Countless primordial worlds and countless lives are under the shadow of naturally primordial life, and he is needed to save them.

"Teacher saved the camp from dire straits and bears the responsibility of saving the crumbling edifice. As your disciple, let us expand the camp's territory and save countless lives!" Luo Feng said.

The birth of each lord has extraordinary significance for the entire cultivator camp.

"Good good!"

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, Lord Minghuang's eyes lit up, realizing that he was clearly a like-minded person who naturally pitied the weak.

Such a mindset is extremely rare, even among incredibly powerful superdimensional beings like the Hunyuan Lord. It's rare not only among Hunyuan Lords but also among Hunyuan beings in general.

Unfortunately, this type of life is difficult from beginning to end; it is extremely difficult for it to grow.

Conversely, cultivators of the Heavenly Dao type, such as Yuan and Xingmang, or cultivators of the Cataclysmic type, such as Jin Lingzhu, find it much easier to grow and are subject to fewer constraints.

Now that there is another lord who, like himself, pities the weak, Lord Minghuang is very happy.

However, when it came to allocating territory, Luo Feng's background still caused a problem.

There has never been a case where two Hunyuan Lords were born in one Origin World, and the division of territories immediately became problematic.

The reason why the progenitor of cultivators is the Lord of Hunyuan is not only to distinguish them from other progenitors, but also because lords all effectively ruled over a territory.

"That doesn't matter. Once the river is dredged and the land is expansive, I will take charge of guarding the border," Luo Feng said.

Although he pities the weak, Luo Feng himself has a lot of killing and fighting emotions, otherwise he would not have been able to comprehend the Dao of Destruction. In the fused Dao of Life and Death, the proportion of destruction is not small.

After finishing their own business, the lords of Yuan Yi took out the "Ancestor Core" with curious expressions.

Many lords were also drawn to the power within this dazzling crystal of origin.

"It's incredible that such a single core could create a Primordial Ancestor of Chaos," the lords exclaimed.

"Where did it come from? I fought that monster myself. Except for not being immortal, it was almost as strong as us." Lord Jin recalled the battle. He still vividly remembered the monster's formidable power, but unfortunately, because it lacked immortality, it ultimately perished at the hands of the combined forces of many progenitors.

"I don't know. I've traced the origins of the monsters back through time and space, but I still haven't found the source." The Star Lord shook his head.

This unknown entity made it difficult for him to be moved, even when the ninth lord appeared.

Mysterious creations from unknown places are truly worrying.

The only known place capable of creating the Primordial Chaos Ancestor is the Mysterious Land, which is essentially related to the Endless Primordial Chaos Space.

This means that this matter is either related to a special mysterious power, or that the entire Endless Chaos Space has undergone new changes.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these lords have mastered the Dao at the Hunyuan level. In the face of the Hunyuan Space, it's like a cosmic god facing the Origin World; they're not even in the same dimension.

“Starlight, don’t worry. Even if the Endless Chaos Space changes, our lords united are still enough to deal with all kinds of dangers.”

“Since it’s dangerous, it will naturally also create opportunities. Perhaps our future path lies within it.” Yuan immediately saw Xingmang’s worry.

Among the many lords, the Star Lord has always borne the greatest pressure because he is proficient in the ways of time and space and has observed a massive amount of information.

The more you know, the greater the pressure becomes.

"The ancestral core before us, once refined, will add a new Primordial Ancestor to our ranks, which is a tremendous opportunity." The primordial spirit's expression was somewhat fiery.

As the first Lord of Hunyuan, Yuan's pursuit was naturally the strength of the entire faction.

"I see!"

Xingmang nodded, his expression returning to normal, but no one could discern what he was truly thinking.

"Those born with primordial chaos can directly use their own life core to refine the core, instantly becoming primordial chaos progenitors. For us cultivators..."

The Star Lord recalled the actions of the previous Primordial Being who used the Primordial Core.

"...We can try creating a simplified version of the Hunyuan Core first; it shouldn't be much different."

Cultivators and naturally born beings of the Chaos Origin are also distinguished by their origins. However, once they reach the Chaos Origin dimension, the essential difference between the two is not that significant.

In particular, many cultivators actively absorb the Hunyuan bloodline in order to break through, making the difference even smaller.

Creating a similar core wouldn't be difficult for a cultivator at the Hunyuan level, but since it's entirely self-created, there's no potential for natural development, so it's meaningless.

“Then it comes down to choosing the personnel,” Yuan said, immediately drawing the attention of the lords.

Even if a primordial ancestor is not an eternal being, the influence he possesses is extraordinary.

Especially given that there are only nine lords in the entire cultivator camp, the birth of a Primordial Ancestor of Chaos also holds an extremely high status.

If this progenitor of Hunyuan could come from one's own ranks, then he would naturally be a close and helpful ally.

Moreover, unlike Lu Yunhe and Luo Feng, who either became lords in a short period of time or rose to the top in one step, their influence in various aspects has not yet been established.

Lords like Yuan and Minghuang all have incredibly close friends, disciples, and subordinates...

If there is an opportunity to break through the Hunyuan Ancestor, one would naturally want to fight for it for a close friend.

"To be fair, I think we should judge based on combat strength. The world-class Chaos Origin experts should fight one battle, and the strongest one should get the opportunity," said Lord Jin.

Although everyone wanted to give the spot to someone they were close to, as adults, they naturally understood that it was impossible to do whatever they wanted. Without a fair standard, nothing could be accomplished, not even on the surface.

There were nine lords present, and only one "Ancestor Core." Everyone wanted it, and it was impossible to cater to everyone's desires. So, the only option was to create an environment that was more favorable to themselves.

"Fighting is of little significance. For the Primordial Ancestor, the power below the Primordial Ancestor is completely meaningless. I think it would be better to judge based on contributions."

"The world-class Chaos Source that has contributed the most to the faction should rightfully receive this opportunity," said the Ancestor of the Dark Phoenix, shaking his head.

Combat strength? A little guy that can be killed with a breath is completely meaningless; it's better to focus on contributions.

Dividing them by contribution not only leads to higher recognition but is also more beneficial to the entire camp. It can also motivate the Hunyuan beings under their command, preventing them from just sitting around doing nothing.

Given the choice, I believe no one would want to choose a selfish person.

Since this treasure was obtained by the lords together, it should naturally be considered from the perspective of the entire faction.

"I think we can try our luck and pick randomly. Whoever is chosen will be chosen!" Lord Moman said.

"Or put it in a secret realm, and whoever finds it first gets to keep it."

Many lords also offered their opinions, and although their attitudes were somewhat biased, they were at least fundamentally fair.

"I think it's better to divide it by contribution," Luo Feng said.

Although he had only recently become a lord, he felt he had a say in these matters.

Compared to other methods, basing the division on contributions is more in line with his wishes.

Although the lords cannot do whatever they want, they are not so much as to suppress their own ideas over such a trivial matter.

After Luo Feng spoke, Lu Yunhe, his mentor, naturally expressed his support, since it didn't really matter to him.

In an instant, Lord Minghuang had three votes, giving him an overwhelming advantage at the lord level.

"Ugh!"

Lord Jin shook his head. In matters involving the entire camp, even the lords believed in the principle of majority rule.

The lords were responsible for making decisions, while the specific matters were left to Yuan, whom almost all the lords and even most of the Hunyuan beings trusted.

The entire camp was formed by Yuan, and most of the Hunyuan experts are directly or indirectly related to him, so it is unlikely to be biased.

In the original land, Lu Yunhe looked at the candlelight in front of him strangely. The latter's contribution to the faction was actually the highest among all world-class Chaos Origin beings.

"Greetings, lords!"

Candlelight was somewhat excited, never expecting that such a windfall would fall into his lap.

To be honest, among all the world-class Hunyuan, he is truly the most dedicated.

Having been entrusted with important tasks by two lords in succession, his accumulated contributions to the faction were naturally extremely high.

"Haha, you deserve it!" Yuan laughed, then handed the Ancestral Core to the other party.

Without hesitation, the candle flame that had been prepared swallowed the core, and an aura of the Primordial Ancestor instantly erupted.
