Chapter 323 The Chaos City Lord's Plea!
Zhou Ze smiled slightly: "Senior, I said this a thousand years ago—"
The Lord of Chaos sighed, "I understand, but I really didn't expect that in such a short time you would attract a Universe Lord, and this Universe Lord is no ordinary one."
"Oh?" Zhou Ze asked with slight curiosity, "What's so special about it?"
With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Chaos City created a stone table in the vast palace, with two ancient-looking stools placed beside it.
On the stone table, there was a pot of brewed tea and two teacups.
"This is the most famous tea on your planet. Let's enjoy it while we talk—"
The Lord of Chaos City personally poured Zhou Ze a cup of tea, showing him exceptional hospitality. It could be said that there were very few people in the entire Primordial Universe who were worthy of such courtesy from the Lord of Chaos City.
Zhou Ze didn't feel particularly excited or honored. After all, one is bound to be indebted to those who accept gifts, and the Chaos City Lord's politeness must have been for a purpose.
However, since they were being so polite, Zhou Ze had to give them some face. He took a sip of tea. After years of cultivation, the tea on Earth was indeed many times better than the tea he had drunk before.
"Senior, please speak," Zhou Ze said calmly.
"Do you know what the most important foundation of a race is?" The Chaos City Lord also took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"It's about the quality and quantity of the strong—" Zhou Ze replied.
The Lord of Chaos City nodded and sighed, "That's right, that's how it is. The reason why our human race has become a top race is because we have one of the strongest beings in the universe, and more than a dozen universe lords!"
"As for Venerable Ones, while they are also important, they don't play a decisive role. The Lord of the Universe is the true pillar of a race! Any race that possesses even one Lord of the Universe can be considered a powerful race!"
"To become a top-tier race, one must not only possess the strongest being in the universe, but also a sufficient number of universe masters!"
Zhou Ze nodded without saying anything more; he was aware of these things.
"This is the fundamental reason why our Hong Alliance can be dominated by our human race, but the power of other races should not be underestimated!"
"Our Hong Alliance alone has over thirty Palace Masters, who are essentially Universe Lords. It is precisely because of this number of Universe Lords that our human race can rely on the Hong Alliance to wield enormous influence and reap huge benefits!"
"In the universe, even the most powerful races must unite with other major races if they want to expand their influence. For example, our mortal enemy, the Zerg, created the Zerg Alliance, the Machine Race has its Machine Alliance, the Hell Race has its Hell Alliance, and there are others such as the Northern Frontier Alliance, the Nine Domains Alliance, and so on."
Even the proud and aloof Starry Sky Beasts have established the Starry Sky Beast Alliance.
"To survive in this universe, even for the most elite races, going it alone is not an option."
The Lord of Chaos City spoke eloquently.
Zhou Ze nodded in agreement, saying, "That's absolutely true; many hands make light work!"
The Lord of Chaos City continued, "The size and status of an alliance are actually not determined by the strongest beings in the universe. Of course, this is not to say that the strongest beings in the universe are unimportant, but rather that there are too few of them to play a decisive role in the primordial universe. You will find out the reason later."
"Therefore, the Lord of the Universe and the cosmic overlords who can rival him become extremely important, which is why I'm disregarding my pride to 'beg' you."
"Cough cough—"
Zhou Ze was choked and on the verge of tears said:
"Senior, you've gone a bit too far."
The Lord of Chaos City smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not forcing you, I'm just explaining the pros and cons to you—"
Zhou Ze, too lazy to care about hierarchy, rolled his eyes and retorted, "Your words are full of subtle barbs—" The Chaos City Lord couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That may be true, but compared to a universe lord, the race will definitely prioritize your feelings!"
"In your Earthly terms, we can't be penny-wise and pound-foolish."
Zhou Ze said irritably, "Since the clan prioritizes my feelings, then senior, could you please refrain from saying such things? I genuinely can't bear it!"
"We have to put you on a pedestal first, so you won't just refuse outright," the Chaos City Lord said, suddenly becoming a smooth-talking, oily person.
Zhou Ze was at a loss for words. He had to admit that the Lord of Chaos City was a very good leader and deserved to be recognized as the most selfless and fair being.
For the sake of his race, a powerful figure second only to the strongest in the universe was willing to lower himself and beg him in such a "humble" way.
The Chaos City Lord slapped his forehead and said, "Back to the original topic, so you should understand that for an alliance to become powerful, the more Universe Lords the better!"
"Any ruler of the universe, as long as they are not our enemy, is a target for us to win over!"
"You may not know the specific classification of powerhouses at the level of the Lord of the Universe, so let me briefly explain it to you."
Zhou Ze nodded.
The Lord of Chaos City continued, "The power of the Lords of the Universe is divided into six tiers!"
"The first stage is the initial stage of the Lord of the Universe, with a life gene level 100 times higher. They have not yet created any ultimate secret techniques, and their supreme weapons are also ordinary."
"The second stage, with a 1000-fold increase in the level of life genes, created an ultimate secret technique; the treasure is quite good—"
"The third tier is the pinnacle; the vast majority of universe lords are at the second or third tier!"
"The fourth tier is the pinnacle level, the fifth tier is basically the pinnacle of the pinnacle, and as for the sixth tier, one must be a universe master possessing the most powerful treasures. Such heaven-defying universe masters are extremely rare even in the entire primordial universe!"
Upon hearing the Chaos City Lord's words, Zhou Ze was slightly startled: "Could it be that the Universe Lord you're referring to is the one who possesses the most powerful treasure?"
The Lord of Chaos City laughed and said, "That's not the case. If there were such a being willing to join the Hong Alliance, their influence in the Primordial Universe would be almost comparable to that of the strongest being in the universe."
"If that's the case, I might have to go my own way and agree to it directly, haha—"
People can laugh when they're speechless, and Zhou Ze is currently wearing a forced, insincere smile.
Seeing this, the Chaos City Lord comforted him, "Don't worry, those universe lords are either already among the top races or have joined an alliance long ago, so they're unlikely to be alone."
"After all, the supreme treasure is just too tempting. If others knew about it, the six top races, including our human race, would definitely be unable to resist ganging up on it until they seized the supreme treasure."
Zhou Ze nodded and said, "That's true!"
The Chaos City Lord, as if remembering something, said, "By the way, you should have some understanding of the levels of supreme treasures, right?"
The Lord of Chaos City was worried that Zhou Ze did not understand the "supreme treasure" he had mentioned.
"I know a little bit about it—" Zhou Ze said casually.
"Hmm." The Lord of Chaos City didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was normal for Zhou Ze to know something about such a wonderful place as Earth, since it was a treasure land refined by the Mountain-Sitting Guest.
"Senior, so what is it about that Lord of the Universe that made you achieve such a feat?" Zhou Ze asked curiously.
