Swallowed Star (All Chapters) Volume 7

Chapter 1289: Turbulent Dark Flow

Light rays from the glowing Gemini Star far in the distance penetrated the clouds to shine upon Earth. This gave a beautiful orange hue to the layer of clouds.

The land beneath was occupied by many green-skinned life forms of the Yan Ya race. The Yan Ya race was composed of blood and flesh life-forms. They had the lower bodies of wild, four-hoofed beasts, but their upper bodies resembled humans, other than the fact that they had four arms instead of two. They were born to be lovers of peace, but the moment they got angry, they would become crazed warriors.

Peace! Tranquility! Happiness! These were the main tones of life on the planet occupied by the Yan Ya race.

In a little, elegant, wooden building, a Yan Ya lady kneeled on her four-hooved legs, looking around in a leisurely manner.

Hong!

A streak of light suddenly fell from the sky above and landed right before her. A burly figure took form. His entire body seemed to be made of metal, and he wore purple armor. With his icy eyes, he looked at the Yan Ya lady who was kneeling and said, "Yan Ya Master!"

The Yan Ya lady revealed a hint of a smile and replied, "Balance String of the automaton race. My friend, what brings you here? Such a rare sight."

"The fate of your Yan Ya race is implicated, too. This involves the rise and fall of your Yan Ya race. You and I have pulled each other through life-and-death experiences in Universe Ocean before. How could I not notify you the moment I hear of this?" Balance String Master made himself at home.

"The fate of my race?" The Yan Ya lady looked at Balance String Master.

"My automaton race, the bug clan, and the demons have jointly formed a united force of the three races," Balance String Master said. "We were involved in crossfire with the human camp. You must have heard about it."

The Yan Ya lady smiled and said, "Of course, I have heard about it. The news spread extensively throughout the entire primal universe. For any universe master to not know anything about it would be a rare sight. Crossfire between the united force of the three races and the human camp, and ultimately, the three races were defeated... This was such shocking news that many other races were in disbelief when they caught wind of it. Come, try some of this green fruit wine that is brewed by my people."

With a wave, a wine glass appeared and floated before the two of them. The wine glass had both height and depth. The wine it contained was faintly green and emanated a flurry of aromas. A dark gray, exquisitely sculptured flagon appeared on the ground beside them.

Balance String Master got hold of the wine glass and, in a solemn tone, said, "The humans have the inheritance of an ancient civilization. They just obtained it, but they are already so powerful. If we allow them more time... they will develop into a race that is more terrifying than the Divine Eye clan of the first reincarnation era. That's for sure. If they can already defeat the united force of the three races, what will happen in the future? I'm afraid that even if the major groups of powers within the primal universe combine forces, they will still not be a match for the humans. Once the humans become that strong, how could they not try to expand? As you know, the human race is quite invasive."

The Yan Ya lady gave small nods. True. In fact, all six pinnacle races—the bug clan, the demons, the automaton race, the human race, the prison clan, and the crystal clan—were extremely invasive and aggressive! The laws of reproduction for these races were related to their strength and the amount of territory they could possess. The stronger a race, the more territory it could occupy.

"In the primal universe, who occupies the greatest territory?" Balance String Master continued. "Not any of us, the various pinnacle races, but you: the billions of scattered races. Individually, you are all weak, and your lands are small, but when everything is totaled up, you all own a vast chunk of territory. If the humans truly become powerful and invincible, do you think they will let you all off? This war is not only a battle for the inheritance of an ancient civilization; it is also a battle of survival for you and us, the countless other races!"
