Chapter 143 A Lone Wolf of the Huyanbo Type

This "Cosmic Weapon Forging Competition," which affects all immortal gods and the entire human race, is still in full swing.

Since all the "contestants" are powerful individuals with immortal lifespans, it is impossible for the competition to end in just a few years like the Battle of the Peak Geniuses; the time span is much longer.

According to the race plan, this "competition" will be a long-term event, with each cosmic nation having a dedicated immortal king to manage it.

Furthermore, the race even dispatched a high-ranking cosmic venerable to coordinate and absorb all talented immortal gods.

That cosmic venerable was another disciple of the Lord of Void Gold, the Fiery Venerable, who was once hailed as a peerless genius of humanity spanning tens of millions of epochs.

More than four eras after the start of this grand "Cosmic Weapon Forging Competition", Li Che met this Cosmic Venerable in a starry sky in the Mother Ancestor Cosmic Kingdom.

"Four eras have passed, Senior Brother Eclipse Fire, how have the harvest been?"

This was the first time Li Che had met the Fire Venerable in reality. The Venerable's divine body was always shrouded in a distinctive black flame, which seemed to be a method of targeting the soul.

Li Che felt that Venerable Fiery was not far from becoming a cosmic overlord. This former genius of tens of millions of eras had now created the ultimate secret technique of a cosmic overlord, but the amplitude was still a bit lacking, and the genetic level had not yet reached the limit of being able to reproduce 100 times the population.

"Since my birth, my clan has never conducted such a large-scale selection for immortal gods. There are many surprises."

Although he was not familiar with Li Che, the youngest junior brother, Venerable Fiery still acted very friendly towards him, pulling Li Che along to look at the data.

In the virtual universe, the race has systematically divided the inheritors into four parallel structures: the first-stage inheritors, the second-stage inheritors, the third-stage inheritors, and the formal inheritors.

It does bear some resemblance to the inheritance of divine generals.

Upon observation, Li Che discovered that the distribution of the inheritors was a very typical pyramid structure, with fewer inheritors at higher levels.

"Although the clan distinguishes the inheritance level by military lord, marquis and king, in fact, it is still related to talent. Some immortal military lords have almost completely mastered all the weapon refining secrets of the second stage, while some immortal kings have not even fully mastered the first stage."

In just four eras, the gap between the inheritors has already widened significantly.

Most of the immortals who have made such rapid progress in such a short period of time are immortal gods directly under the five major forces. Many of them were once core members of the secret realm, and some even worked in certain weapon-refining workshops or under weapon-refining masters within their clans.

Although they may not be perfectly suited to this lineage, their individual abilities are undeniable, and they possess an instinctive familiarity with this lower-level weapon-refining technique.

What truly delighted Venerable Fiery was the group of once-unknown weapon-refining geniuses who had been scattered among the grassroots of various cosmic kingdoms.

In front of Li Che, Venerable Fiery clicked repeatedly to find the personal information of an Immortal Military Lord who looked like a female winged person: "Like this little guy, the Immortal Goddess Thousand Garments Military Lord of the Mother Ancestral Universe Kingdom, she is a young person who is very compatible with this inheritance. Officially, she is only a high-level military lord, but now she has almost completed the first two stages of inheritance."

Li Che looked at the information of this immortal military lord with great interest and found that the other party was a completely solitary immortal. Before becoming an immortal god, he had hardly contacted other immortals. Now, more than four thousand years after becoming an immortal, he has always kept a low profile.

"Senior brother, did you come to the Mother Ancestral Universe Kingdom this time just for this Lord Qianshang?" Li Che asked with a smile.

A wild immortal who has almost completely mastered the second level of weapon crafting inheritance in just four eras, the talent of this Thousand Garments Army Lord is indeed very worthy of being absorbed.

"I've already seen her. If she had joined any of the five major powers earlier, she wouldn't be in this state now."

Venerable Fire Erosion looked very pleased.

Humanity's territory is vast, and even the five giants cannot absorb all geniuses. There are a huge number of wild immortals. Some of these wild immortals are unrestrained and free-spirited, while others are low-key. The five giants don't know much about them either.

To some extent, this can be considered a waste of talent.

This "Cosmic Weapon Forging Competition" can be considered as giving these lone immortal military lords or those who have long been at the bottom a chance.

Are there many people like this?

Li Che tried searching for Hu Yanbo's name and found that Lao Bo had also received the first stage of inheritance. It was just a pity that this guy didn't seem to have much talent for weapon crafting and was still struggling in the first stage.

"Not bad. Right now, there are only four that I'm willing to personally recruit. They are all very young immortal gods, and one of them, a minor marquis, even refused me once," Venerable Fiery said with a smile.

"The absorption was unsuccessful?" Li Che raised an eyebrow.

He knew very well how difficult those wild immortals were to deal with. For example, Luo Feng's first teacher, Hu Yanbo, seemed to have refused an invitation from a Venerable Yu Shen. It could be said that ignorance is bliss and that he had a very strong personality.

"He's just a naive little fellow who's never seen the world. I showed him an image of a venerable elder in our clan crafting a powerful treasure, and he joined us," Venerable Fiery smiled.

"Hahahaha!" Li Che laughed loudly.

The two chatted casually, and Venerable Fiery was very optimistic about the future of human weapon crafting. After all, he had published such a high-level secret manual, which would help improve the overall quality of divine weapons within human territory.

"The Lord of Lanzang once mentioned that after this large-scale selection is over, these inheritances may be further simplified, and weapon-refining conferences similar to the Peak Genius Battle may be held regularly."

Li Che expressed his understanding.

After all, weapon-refining talents are also precious talents. Such a weapon-refining inheritance is worth the clan spending some basic resources to cultivate another batch of weapon-refining talents below the Immortal level.

Ultimately, the human race does not lack basic resources. Even if the number of core members of the five major powers doubled, the basic resources consumed would be negligible.

"Be careful, our human race is spreading this level of scriptures widely within our territory. Hostile races such as the demon race and the mechanical race may not be able to sit still and will covet these inheritances," Venerable Fiery continued.

He is currently in charge of this weapon-refining competition, and he has naturally realized that some of the lower-level immortal gods who have obtained inheritances are behaving abnormally, and many of them have been confirmed to have been enslaved by hostile forces.

It is almost certain that the first stage of human evolution has been acquired by hostile races such as the Zerg, the Demons, and the Machines.

"It's just some superficial inheritance. The methods of forging divine weapons are nothing compared to the level of the clan," Li Che said without any concern.

The management of this weapon-refining inheritance within the human race is extremely strict. Even if some alien souls enslave powerful immortals, the inheritance they can obtain is still only the surface of the surface.

As for the cosmic venerables, the inheritances they obtained are quite precious even in the current primordial universe.

However, even a cosmic lord from another race could not easily enslave a human cosmic master with his soul.
