497: The ultimate plan

Among the representatives of various races who were engaged in heated discussions, only Balota, who had always looked down on other Cosmic Beasts, quietly retreated behind them and remained silent.

At such a moment, when it was all about one's foundation, he, as a Mech Clan member, always had to back away.

However, Balota's intention to avoid trouble did not mean that trouble would not come looking for him.

Balota's maverick behavior was extremely conspicuous among the Cosmic Beasts.

Lahe, who had just been verbally attacked by Balota, seemed to find an opportunity and proactively launched a verbal assault on Balota, saying:

"Oh, oh, oh, isn't this Balota, who was just strategizing for us?"

"Why are you silent when it's time to contribute? Could it be that you only know how to talk?"

"But then again, your Mech Clan has no real foundation, and the Mechanical God-King is the weakest of all God-Kings, so it's naturally impossible for you to contribute anything to our Chaos Universe."

"If we had known, our Chaos Universe shouldn't have taken in your Mech Clan. We should have let your race, which came from who knows where, be directly annihilated."

Lahe's words were truly outrageous, immediately causing Balota to enter a 'red-hot' mode.

Although there were some minor conflicts between them, they were just minor conflicts.

However, Lahe attacked Balota from major aspects such as race and faction, which was simply unbearable.

Yet, everything Lahe said was true, and Balota, wanting to refute him, was completely powerless.

If it weren't for the Mech Clan being an alien race and their racial strength being weak, why would he have to swallow his pride and work for the Star Devouring Behemoth?

The feeling of being annoyed with someone but unable to do anything about it almost burned out Balota's CPU. In the end, he could only say furiously:

"I, Balota, have diligently worked for the Chaos Universe Alliance since joining it, and have offered advice many times at critical moments."

"But everyone doesn't seem to acknowledge my efforts."

"Fine, in that case, there's no need for me to speak further. I won't be attending any more Chaos Universe Alliance meetings."

"You all do as you please!"

Before Balota's words had even faded, the phantom representing him had already dissipated, showing just how enraged he was.

However, the importance of Lahe, as a representative of a powerful race, and Balota, as a representative of the Mech Clan, was clear at a glance.

Even though Lahe was clearly in the wrong, not a single Cosmic Beast stood up to speak for Balota.

Perhaps in the eyes of these Cosmic Beasts, right and wrong were not important; only interests were eternal.

They had no need to fall out with Lahe over a representative of a minor race like Balota.

In the end, only Fritz, the Alliance's responsible Cosmic Beast, said some lukewarm words, and the matter was considered closed.

Their only concern now was how to obtain the 100 billion contribution points bounty offered by the Alliance; they didn't care about Balota's departure or stay.

After a long discussion, Lahe ultimately won the opportunity to hunt Lin Tianwei with an absolute advantage.

No other reason; Lahe had a natural advantage in this regard because he was a descendant of Blazing Sky God-King, one of the nine great God-Kings of the Chaos Universe.

Although for eternal and immortal God-Kings, descendants seemed to be dispensable.

However, he still had some familial connection with Lahe and was willing to help Lahe with some minor, dispensable favors, even gifting Lahe a large number of protective magical treasures.

After all, Lahe also represented the Blazing Sky God-King's prestige. If he were truly bullied, the Blazing Sky God-King would also lose face.

To secure this bounty of 100 billion contribution points, Lahe also went all out this time, willing to offer a Burning Sky Fire Seed to kill Lin Tianwei.

Burning Sky Fire Seed, as the name suggests, is a fire seed capable of releasing Burning Sky Flames.

And Burning Sky Flames are the signature skill of the Blazing Sky God-King, a Legendary terrifying flame that can even incinerate laws.

Once in contact with it, perhaps only beings of the same God-King level could survive.

Listening to the news he had just received, that Lahe had ultimately secured the execution rights for this bounty mission, Balota showed an expression of resentment.

He didn't mind his suggestion becoming a stepping stone for other Cosmic Beasts; after all, he had always played such a role.

However, he could not accept that the fruits of his labor were snatched by Lahe, who had just humiliated him.

Data flowed rapidly, and an idea instantly flashed through Balota's mind.

If he could be the first to kill this mysterious Cosmic Beast, not only would he gain 100 billion contribution points, but he would also severely slap Lahe in the face, and the faces of all Cosmic Beasts who looked down on him.

After all, these 100 billion contribution points were only implicitly attributed to Lahe; in reality, who obtained them still depended on who ultimately killed this mysterious Cosmic Beast.

In other words, as long as Balota was not afraid of offending Lahe and possessed sufficiently strong power, he could easily accomplish this act of humiliating everyone.

Thinking of this, Balota's eyes instantly became fervent, and his body once again turned 'red-hot'.

The Mech Clan indeed had no foundation, and even the Mechanical God-King could not provide help that would guarantee Lin Tianwei's death, but Balota had other ways, other ways to deal with Lin Tianwei.

Since the Star Devouring Behemoth had given him the order to kill Lin Tianwei, Balota felt it was reasonable to seek a little help from the Star Devouring Behemoth.

Especially upon learning that Lin Tianwei possessed such formidable power, the Star Devouring Behemoth's help became necessary.

Thinking of this, Balota did not hesitate and directly contacted the Star Devouring Behemoth, truthfully recounting Lin Tianwei's actions on the Alien Battlefield.

Exaggerating?

If he dared to exaggerate in front of the Star Devouring Behemoth, the Star Devouring Behemoth would absolutely not mind finding an opportunity to kill an ant like him.

Moreover, Balota didn't need to exaggerate at all; he would receive the Star Devouring Behemoth's help simply by truthfully describing Lin Tianwei's glorious achievements.

Because he knew that with his own strength, he could not absolutely kill Lin Tianwei.

Things unfolded exactly as Balota had anticipated.

Upon hearing about Lin Tianwei's glorious deeds on the Alien Battlefield, the Star Devouring Behemoth's eyes instantly became solemn.

He immediately stated that he would provide Balota with help to absolutely kill Lin Tianwei.

He was not wary of Lin Tianwei's potential, nor his terrifying growth potential.

After all, without becoming a God-King, even the strongest Cosmic Beast was nothing more than an ant, and the strength of an ant held no meaning for the Star Devouring Behemoth.

The Star Devouring Behemoth's emphasis on Lin Tianwei was not only due to his previous promise to kill Lin Tianwei,

But also because, due to Lin Tianwei's reckless actions, the hard-won balance between the Origin Universe and the Chaos Universe on the Alien Battlefield was showing signs of being broken.

If this balance were broken, it would mean that the Star Devouring Behemoth's years of planning would fail, and this was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

Thinking of this, the Star Devouring Behemoth waved his right claw, and a scale immediately detached from his body, flying towards Balota's location, saying:

"This is a scale belonging to me. You only need to detonate it at the appropriate time. Below the God-King level, there is absolutely no possibility of survival!"

When the Star Devouring Behemoth said this, his words were full of confidence, as if this was not a judgment, but a foregone conclusion, beyond doubt.

Looking at the scale quietly resting in his hand, Balota's eyes were filled with excitement, saying:

"Thank you for your grace, my lord. This time, I will surely kill 'Lin'!"

How could Balota not be excited? He had obtained a scale belonging to the Star Devouring Behemoth, a part of a God-King's body.

He couldn't even dream of receiving such great help from the Star Devouring Behemoth.

Don't underestimate this ordinary-looking scale; it is a part of a God-King's body, forming its own universe. Even if Balota spent his entire life, he couldn't comprehend its secrets.

Once this scale is detonated, releasing the terrifying energy contained within, it will be a catastrophe capable of destroying a universe.

This seemingly inconspicuous scale is even more terrifying than the Burning Sky Fire Seed!

Ultimately, the Burning Sky Fire Seed is just a highly advanced method of utilizing laws.

This scale, however, is a part of a God-King's body; the two simply cannot be compared.

Staring intently at the Star Devouring Behemoth's scale, an idea even flashed through Balota's mind: could he also blow up Lahe?

Considering the Blazing Sky God-King standing behind Lahe, Balota ultimately abandoned this terrifying idea.

Although God-Kings are restricted by rules and cannot directly participate in the Alien Battlefield, that is only under normal circumstances.

Lahe is a descendant of a God-King. If he dared to kill him, the Blazing Sky God-King would definitely attack him regardless of the consequences, and even the Mechanical God-King would have no reason to stop him.

Perhaps no Cosmic Beast in this universe would dare to commit such a suicidal act as killing Lahe.

Thinking of this, Balota subconsciously gripped the scale and shouted in his heart:

"Lin? Lahe? This time, I, Balota, will have the last laugh!"

The thought of being able to kill Lin and claim the top prize, and even slap Lahe in the face, made Balota's mechanical body tremble with excitement.

This was something that should be impossible for a Universe Master with extremely strong self-control, yet it happened so truly... Contribution Points: 95.4 billion++!

While countless Cosmic Beasts were plotting against Lin Tianwei, Lin Tianwei was completely unaware, still carrying out his plan to sweep Novice Villages and earn contribution points.

With the discovery of the Mech Clan Novice Village's secret, Lin Tianwei's sweep clearly became more purposeful.

Unless it was truly too circuitous, he would prioritize visiting Mech Clan Novice Villages.

After all, cyber souls converted from Mech Clan members could make Lin Tianwei even stronger, which was far more important than contribution points.

The only thing that made Lin Tianwei somewhat regretful was that ever since he conquered Alien Race Newbie Village #512, the powerful Universe Masters seemed to have gone into hiding, completely disappearing.

This caused Lin Tianwei's speed of acquiring contribution points to become extremely slow, far below expectations.

After all, the value of a single Universe Master could even be higher than the value of a dozen Novice Villages.

It's no joke, after realizing Lin Tianwei's prowess, unless they were deliberately seeking death and extremely stubborn, Universe Masters would simply not come looking for trouble with Lin Tianwei.

Contribution points are valuable, but life is more precious.

These powerful Universe Masters even cherished their lives more than ordinary Cosmic Beasts.

If Lin Tianwei knew that a conspiracy against him was brewing, and that a large number of powerful Cosmic Beasts were about to deliver themselves to his doorstep, he would probably laugh out loud with joy.

These Cosmic Beasts were completely living contribution points in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

As the frenzied devouring continued and Mech Clan cyber souls were harvested, Lin Tianwei grew stronger every moment.

Especially those five Universe Masters were incredibly nutritious, providing Lin Tianwei with a large amount of energy.

Universe Master first-order? That was merely Lin Tianwei's former strength.

Lin Tianwei, possessing a Body of Talents, had no bottlenecks in minor realms; as long as he had enough energy, he could keep upgrading.

In just a few short months, Lin Tianwei continuously climbed using the powerful energy he had accumulated, successfully advancing to Universe Master sixth-order.

Such a promotion speed was simply incredible.

If other Universe Masters knew that Lin Tianwei had accomplished in a few months what they would take billions of years to achieve, they would probably go mad with jealousy.

As Lin Tianwei's strength continuously grew, his body finally completely transformed into a universe.

Countless Talent stars flowed like cells within Lin Tianwei's body, forming this incredibly powerful physique.

In this state, Lin Tianwei naturally became even stronger; even Universe Master peak-level existences wouldn't be able to gain an advantage against Lin Tianwei.

Aside from those reclusive, high and mighty God-Kings, Lin Tianwei was already fearless in the two great universes.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei subconsciously looked at the Novice Village that was already close at hand.

Such a good thing as a significant increase in strength naturally needed to be celebrated properly, and this Novice Village right in front of him was perfect for a 'snack'.

Although the taste of these low-level ingredients wasn't particularly good, and a large portion of the Cosmic Beasts originally living here had fled upon learning of Lin Tianwei's recent activity in the vicinity,

A considerable number still remained, barely making it worthwhile for Lin Tianwei to open his mouth and devour them.

The feeding of Cosmic Beasts is always so unadorned.

With a wide-open maw, the next moment, Lin Tianwei transformed into a universe, instantly engulfing the entire Novice Village into his belly, turning it into his food.

From beginning to end, this unadorned feeding only took Lin Tianwei less than half a second. Cosmic Beasts with slower reactions wouldn't even notice the disappearance of this Novice Village.

Slightly licking the corners of his mouth, Lin Tianwei was very satisfied with the taste of this Novice Village. However, this time, he did not directly rush to the next Novice Village, but instead looked around with some displeasure, saying:

"I really dislike the feeling of being watched by other Cosmic Beasts while I'm eating. As a reward, I'll just eat all of you too."

"After all, no matter how many mistakes food makes, it can be forgiven the moment it is eaten." (End of chapter)
