Chapter 937: Chapter 937

The moment Creator Yong Yao finished speaking, the spiritual fluctuations emitted by all the Supremes in the field simultaneously froze. They recovered almost immediately, casting sharp gazes in the Creators' direction. The scorn in their eyes could not be hidden.

Most of the Supremes maintained the confidence and indifference befitting top-tier beings of the universe, their behavior composed and unhurried. It was as if slowing their movements and expressions, or refraining from speaking, signified maturity, steadiness, and dispositions.

However, there were also those whose nature was direct and unrestrained, believing that after attaining Supreme status and standing at the universe's peak, they had no need to show deference to anyone. They valued doing as they pleased.

These Supremes began to scold without reservation, bluntly.

"Twenty Supremes joining forces!? Who do you think you are?"

"What kind of joke is this!? Do you think you surpass us entirely in cultivation and realm? If I'm not mistaken, your mass isn't much greater than ours. No! After living in the Void of Chaos for so long, your mass is even smaller than some of our ancient Supremes. And with that, you want to take on twenty of us?"

"We admit that surviving in the Void of Chaos means your path is more refined in some aspects, but if you think that entitles you to insult us, you're gravely mistaken."

Creator Yong Yao listened to everyone's words, his face expressionless.

It was Creator Miao Ya who had a faint trace of sarcasm at the corner of his lips.

"Ignorance and weakness aren't obstacles to survival, arrogance is," said Creator Li, shaking his head.

He said nothing more. To him, these Supremes were consumed by hubris, and any extra words said would only fall on deaf ears.

Hadn't they once been too?

Whenever an existence reached a certain level of power and stayed there for a long enough period, they'd slowly lose sight of the true nature of the world. They would assume that what they perceived was the ultimate truth, what they rightfully deserved. So when the actual reality arrived, they would be stricken with grief and shock, feeling panicked and regretful.

Creator Yong Yao sneered. "I've given you your chance. You have at most ten thousand years to hesitate, debate, argue, and hold meetings. Because... in ten thousand years... our mass will grow to more than double what it is now. In one epoch, it will be tenfold.

"By then, even if all your so-called Supremes charge at me at once, you'll still be no more than ants before me. So go ahead and waste your precious time. Hahahaha."

Yong Yao burst into laughter, then he turned into a radiant light and vanished. Read complete versıon only at novel✶fire.net

"Treasure this opportunity," said Creator Li, letting out a sigh before disappearing as well.

The other Creators' avatars followed suit.

"Success doesn't come from numbers alone. If it did, the Human Race would've unified the universe long ago."

Creator Li glanced at everyone present and said blandly, "Everyone, we shall take our leave."

With those words, he led the Supremes who had aligned themselves with Yong Yao and left the scene.

It wasn't just them. More than ten of the wavering Supremes stopped hesitating and broke away to join their ranks.

"I was wrong," said Regalheaven's avatar. "If all the Supremes of the starry cosmos had truly united, we could indeed have driven out these Creators. But all these Supremes are nothing but a loose pile of sand, without any real combat power."

Even though Supreme Regalheaven rarely meddled in the affairs of the myriad races, he still knew that if the starry cosmos truly belonged to a unified force, there wouldn't be nine Supreme races and so many top-tier ones.

Supreme Primordial sighed. "I even believe that if the atmosphere of the starry cosmos were better, if all the Supremes, Highlords, and Transcendents had united and pooled their wisdom, perhaps we would have already discovered the path beyond Supreme many epochs ago and turned our gaze beyond the Void of Chaos."

"Forget it. I'd like to see firsthand how powerful these legendary Transcendents from the Ancient Astral World really are. Hopefully... they won't disappoint me," said Supreme Regalheaven's avatar, then disappeared.

Seeing Supreme Regalheaven leave, the remaining Supremes swept their gazes across the others.

"This battle is inevitable, and the sooner the better. If they truly manage to absorb enough mass and spacetime, we'll completely lose the chance to defeat them. If none of you are willing to lead, then let us, the Human Race's Supremes, join forces with the Intelligent Lifeforms and other Supremes to gather twenty in total and confront these Creators from the ancient Astral World. How about it?"

At that moment, the Divine Race's Ancestral God Hentian spoke in a deep voice. "When did the Human Race gain the right to represent our starry cosmos? The Divine Race can also gather twenty Supremes to pull the starry cosmos back from the brink of collapse."

Supreme Genesis said, "Our Human Race's number one Supreme, Regalheaven, is willing to first take on the Creator from the ancient Astral World alone. If he wins, that would be enough to prove these Creators are not worth fearing. If he falls short... then let the Divine Race's team take up the fight."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Of course, if the Divine Race can also send someone to face a Creator with confidence of victory, that would be ideal."

These words left Ancestral God Hentian speechless. Supreme Regalheaven wasn't just the Human Race's strongest; he was also commonly acknowledged as the universe's strongest.

The only reason this title remained uncertain was that the cosmos was vast. No one knew how many powerhouses were truly out there. Some ancient Supremes had displayed divine techniques that made even them feel inferior.

Without an actual battle, no one could say for sure who the true number one was. But based solely on his displayed strength, Supreme Regalheaven was indeed among the top tier of all Supremes in the universe.

And right now, facing these Creators, the most important thing was to build morale for their side. If Supreme Regalheaven truly had the confidence to defeat Creator Yong Yao alone, the situation would be instantly reversed.

On the contrary, even if their side's twenty Supremes ultimately defeated Creator Yong Yao, as long as this Creator truly displayed strength capable of contending with all twenty Supremes, he would still be able to gain enough influence in the starry cosmos through the sheer impact of his power.

In the end, the Supremes of the starry cosmos would be forced to compromise, assisting the Creators in their search for the mysterious Eternal or the Power of Eternity he left behind.

Whether it was cooperation or submission depended on one's perspective.

With this thought, Ancestral God Hentian could only say, "Then let us wait and see Supreme Regalheaven display his great power. Just don't let it end in disgrace."

"I believe his reputation as the universe's number one won't let us down," said Supreme Genesis.

With that, his avatar vanished from the council.

Elsewhere, one Supreme after another was rushing at full speed toward the place where the Creators had entered.

In less than a year, over a hundred Supremes had arrived at that sparsely material boundary of the universe.

Unlike in the past, this time around, every one of the Supremes had come in person with their true bodies. The terrifying energy fluctuations emitted from their bodies wildly distorted the surrounding space-time.

If an advanced technological civilization were observing from a distant location at this moment, it would appear as though hundreds of massive gravity wells had gathered in one place.

The terrifying gravitational pull shredded and twisted everything in this area. It was like a great wall of black holes blocking the path of all matter, forming an eternal chasm that no lifeform, technology, or civilization could cross.

In the eyes of the many Supremes, the reason this region had become so sparse in matter wasn't because it was naturally a boundary of the universe. It was because the Creators' very presence had absorbed immense quantities of mass and spacetime, transforming the area into a true frontier.

Some of the Supremes who arrived early observed the changes caused by the Creators' absorption of mass and spacetime and immediately realized the severity of the situation.

What Creator Yong Yao said was true. If the Creators truly stayed within the starry cosmos for one or two full epochs, their ability to absorb matter and spacetime to grow and stabilize their own mass would make them formidable.

At that time, even if all the Supremes attacked together, as long as the Creators avoided direct confrontation and instead employed a strategy of attrition and skirmishes, they could eventually eliminate the Supremes of the starry cosmos one by one.

"No wonder they were able to survive in the Void of Chaos..."

For a moment, some Supremes felt a chill of doubt rise in their hearts, but when they thought about the interests their respective races held in the universe, those wavering thoughts were quickly suppressed.

As time passed, more and more Supremes arrived. Finally, accompanied by violent distortions in the space ahead, ten figures appeared simultaneously.

Supreme Genesis, Supreme Primordial, Supreme Ordainment, Supreme Great Heaven, Prime Abyss Highlord—all members of the Human Race's Supreme Council.

Among them, Supreme Regalheaven's aura was so profound that it was unfathomable. He stood among the other Supremes and Highlords of the Human Race, yet through his incomparably precise self-control, he emitted no intense fluctuations at all. It was as if his very presence had been entirely concealed beneath theirs.

This scene also drew the attention of Creator Yong Yao, Creator Miao Ya, and the others.

Creator Yong Yao, who had issued the challenge, felt a flicker of surprise well within him.

"This Supreme Regalheaven is from the same era as us, right? Was there such an astonishing talent produced in that era? Why didn't we notice him beforehand?" asked Creator Yun Ting, his curiosity palpable.

"His talent doesn't matter. What matters is that, according to the news from the Human Race, he will be the first stumbling block we must overcome."

Creator Guang Ling looked at Yong Yao. "Well?"

"He's got some tricks. But I believe that with the foundation we've accumulated through countless years of torment in the Void of Chaos, such tricks are nothing worth mentioning."

Confidence beamed on Creator Yong Yao's face.

"Let's finish this quickly," Creator Tian Zhu urged. "That terrifying being could catch up at any moment. We don't have much time."

Creator Yong Yao nodded and stepped forward from the crowd.

The arriving Supremes said nothing. What needed to be said had already been said. They all turned their gaze toward Supreme Regalheaven.

Supreme Regalheaven, having already merged with Equiheaven and evolved into his strongest form, flashed and appeared before Creator Yong Yao.

Creator Yong Yao extended his hand. "Come."

Supreme Regalheaven nodded without a single unnecessary word.

In the next moment, two terrifying mass entities, like super gravity wells, collided amidst a storm of warped spacetime.
