A moment later, the five decision-makers of Virtual Universe Company gathered again.
Above Thunder Island, inside the Dark Lord's mansion.
Seeing the Dark Lord display his armor, soldier spirits, and general spirit technology, the other four Universe Lords were all stunned.
"Complete armor technology, and this unprecedented soldier spirit and general spirit technology."
The Lord of Dragons gently stroked the armor bead, his expression filled with disbelief: "How did Chen Yuan do that? It's been less than ten years since he last contributed his weapon technology, hasn't it?"
"The armor technology, just looking at the secret patterns on the blueprints, is hundreds of times more complex than that of regular armor, not to mention the unheard-of soldier spirit and general spirit technologies."
The Lord of Ice Peak also shook his head slightly, "I can't figure it out. Just studying this set of armor feels like it would take hundreds of years to complete."
"I'm afraid we should ask Junior Brother Darkness about this, since he was the one who summoned us here."
The Lord of Chaos looked at the Lord of Darkness, a gentle smile appearing on his face: "Just now I sensed Chen Yuan's avatar heading to your residence, probably for this matter."
"Senior brother is right."
The Lord of Darkness smiled calmly and, under the expectant gazes of the other four, recounted in detail the background and development of Chen Yuan's research into these technologies.
"Ten thousand times time acceleration? Junior brother, you have such amazing luck. I'm afraid only the small universe of the Giant Axe Founder among our human race can achieve this."
Lord Youhou could not hide his surprise and couldn't help but remind him, "However, he is only a Realm Lord, so he should still be careful about his lifespan."
Hearing Youhou's words, the Chaos City Lord and the others nodded. The Dragon Lord added, "Darkness, remember to remind your disciple not to get so engrossed in researching treasure refining that he forgets the time."
"We still need to reserve enough lifespan to break through to immortality."
"Don't worry, Chen Yuan is my disciple, of course I reminded him." The Lord of Darkness smiled. "Besides, Chen Yuan also said that he can only stay in that small universe for a maximum of a thousand epochs, which is insignificant compared to his current lifespan."
"That's true."
The Lord of Chaos City nodded and explained to the others, "Chen Yuan's clone has reached the 6500-fold genetic level, which means he has at least a 650 million-epoch lifespan. There is no need to worry about his lifespan in the short term."
Long Xing and the Lord of Ice Peak were unaware of Chen Yuan's clone's genetic level before, and upon hearing this, they were both relieved: "That's good."
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."
The Lord of Darkness said calmly, "Chen Yuan has once again rendered such a great service. I summoned you here to discuss how to calculate my disciple's merits and the issue of distributing these treasures."
"Compared to armor technology, the improvement of general armor is more significant for the overall combat power of our human race."
The Lord of Chaos City nodded in agreement and further explained: "Since immortals do not have the worry of lifespan, the number of immortals currently counted by the human race exceeds one hundred million, of which ninety percent are ordinary immortals, and not many can reach the level of being enfeoffed as marquises or kings."
"Especially the number of people who have been granted the title of Immortal King, according to the Hongmeng's statistics, is only 100,000."
"Chaos is right." The Lord of Dragons nodded. "If this armor were used by an ordinary immortal god, it would directly bring basic divine power comparable to that of a low-level king, greatly enhancing the power at the immortal level."
"Not to mention the souls of soldiers and generals, the enhancement of soul power is not only useful for mentalists, but can also greatly enhance the soul defense capabilities of immortals."
"So here's the question," the Lord of Darkness said, surveying the crowd, "how much contribution do you think is appropriate for the techniques my disciple has contributed?"
He added specifically, "Let me make it clear beforehand, if the amount is too small, I, as the teacher, will not agree to it."
"Junior brother, rest assured, we will certainly not mistreat your disciple."
The Lord of Chaos smiled gently, then looked thoughtful. "However, the armor is manageable, but the technology for general armor is too complex. It would be difficult for my Virtual Universe Company alone to fully promote it, not to mention the technology for soldier souls and general souls."
"So, senior brother, you mean to convene a top-level meeting?"
After the Lord of Darkness finished speaking, the other decision-makers all turned their gazes toward him.
"Hmm." The Chaos City Lord nodded. "To maximize the benefits, we must gather the power of the entire human race. This will also be most beneficial to your disciple, since every participating force will have to pay for his patent."
"These expenses, when converted into contributions, amount to a considerable sum."
"I will inform Chen Yuan of this matter—oh, his clone has only just begun to comprehend the Chaos Stele. We'll wait until he finishes his comprehension before discussing it further."
The Lord of Darkness continued, "Let's not talk about that for now. Senior brother, you said you wanted to convene a supreme meeting. Is it a grand meeting or a giant axe meeting?"
The so-called Great Conference is a meeting attended by beings of the cosmic level and above, while the Great Axe Conference is attended only by the Lord of the Universe, and is usually convened and chaired by the Founder of the Great Axe, hence the name.
"This is, after all, a matter of great importance concerning the ethnic group, and I suggest that both meetings be held."
The Lord of Chaos City said, "We will inform Giant Axe about this matter first, and then Giant Axe will convene a meeting. After we reach a consensus, we will hold a major meeting to announce this matter."
"Senior brother, I have no objection to telling Giant Axe about this," the Lord of Darkness reminded him, "but regarding Chen Yuan's identity, I suggest that it be kept secret from the higher-ups of other forces."
"Of course." The Lord of Chaos City nodded and promised, "Before Chen Yuan becomes a member of the company's decision-making team, I will never reveal this matter to anyone other than the Giant Axe unless he gives his approval."
"Given Giant Axe's character, I believe he wouldn't reveal this to outsiders."
"Of course I trust the Giant Axe." The Dark Lord naturally trusted this strongest human. He continued, "Then this meeting will end here. I will inform Chen Yuan of this matter after he has finished comprehending the Chaos Stele."
"As for you, Senior Brother Chaos—I'd appreciate it if you could contact the founder of the Giant Axe to discuss matters related to the Supreme Council."
"Understood." The Chaos City Lord nodded in agreement, and then the five decision-makers left one after another.
It must be said that the founder of the Giant Axe was indeed very efficient. Just after the Lord of Chaos City had informed the Giant Axe of the details regarding Jiang Jia and Chen Yuan.
The following day, the Human Race's highest council, the "Great Axe Council," was convened.
In the virtual universe, inside the Temple of the Giant Axe, 18 imposing figures have arrived and are conversing among themselves.
"Does anyone know why Giant Axe suddenly called a meeting? What's the matter?"
"We haven't received any information whatsoever—Xu Jin, you're the decision-maker at the Giant Axe Arena. Didn't Giant Axe mention this to you?"
"I don't know either." The towering figure with dazzling golden hair shook his head, his tone also filled with confusion: "It seems that this matter was decided by the Giant Axe on the spot, and I didn't hear a word about it."
"You don't even know about Void Gold?" Upon hearing this, the surrounding Universe Lords all showed expressions of surprise.
Logically speaking, as the second most important figure in the Giant Axe Arena, the Lord of Void Gold is usually in charge when the founder of Giant Axe is absent! Therefore, whenever Giant Axe holds a supreme meeting, the Lord of Void Gold is usually informed in advance.
But this time seems different. The founder of the Giant Axe convened a meeting without explaining the reason to the Lord of False Gold beforehand.
Just then, the founder of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, Lord Huangjian, suddenly noticed that the several Cosmic Lords of the Virtual Universe Company looked calm and did not seem surprised by the convening of this meeting.
Then the Lord of the Wasteland spoke up: "Chaos, judging from your confident expressions, do you perhaps know the inside story of this meeting?"
The Lord of Chaos City smiled faintly: "I informed Giant Axe of the convening of this meeting, so we are naturally aware of the details."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, not only was the Lord of Desolation surprised, but the other dozen or so Universe Lords also cast curious glances at him.
"What exactly is this chaos? The giant axe didn't even tell me."
"The Lord of False Gold asked curiously."
"It's nothing serious." The Chaos City Lord shook his head slightly and smiled, "The giant axe is coming soon, why bother asking me?"
Coincidentally, just as the Lord of Chaos finished speaking, the figure of the Giant Axe Founder appeared inside the temple.
The disheveled, savage-looking giant took his seat, glanced around, and nodded slightly: "Everyone has arrived. Greetings, Founder of the Giant Axe!"
The 18 cosmic lords from various human factions rose and bowed.
"Yes, everyone, please sit down."
The founder of the Giant Axe smiled slightly, and after everyone was seated at the conference table, he finally began to talk about the contents of the meeting—the existence of the General Armor and the General Soul!
Only then did these cosmic lords realize why this meeting was related to the Virtual Universe Company.
After all, with the widespread adoption of armored vehicles in recent years, it's no secret that Virtual Universe Company has mastered armored vehicle technology.
Since Virtual Universe Company can mass-produce armored soldiers, it is only natural that they can master the technology of general armor.
As the founder of the giant axe announced that the technology for soldier armor, general armor, soldier souls, and general souls would be jointly manufactured by the five major human factions, everyone present showed joy.
Clearly, these high-ranking humans understood that these new technologies could greatly enhance the overall strength of their race, and that with the combined efforts of the five major powers...
The ability to popularize the skills of general armor and general soul in a very short time is also the reason why Giant Axe convened the meeting.
After discussing this matter, the meeting moved on to its final item—the issue of rewards for these technical contributors.
At first, the other universe lords didn't pay much attention, assuming that the person analyzing these technologies was just an ordinary employee of the Virtual Universe Company, and were prepared to simply give them to some mixed-element units to get rid of them.
However, when the Lord of Darkness quickly suggested rewarding contributors with a supreme treasure, the entire meeting erupted in chaos.
After all, this is a supreme treasure, one of the most powerful treasures even in the clan's treasury, because the entire human race does not possess a single supreme treasure.
Even the creator of the giant axe, who was the strongest being in the universe, only had a supreme treasure as his main weapon.
Of course, more importantly, this matter will benefit all five major powers, meaning that the reward will be shared by all five major powers.
Obviously, this proposal was quickly opposed by others, for a simple reason: among the cosmic lords present, some did not possess a supreme treasure, so why should an unknown person be able to obtain one?
The Lord of Darkness, not to be outdone, retaliated: the value of the armor and soul technology deserves such a reward, and these contributions should not be denied simply because the opponent is weak.
Perhaps sensing that some of the universe lords' words contained a derogatory tone towards their disciples, the Lord of Darkness even sneered, "The race is fair. Some people have no ability of their own and contribute nothing to the race. Instead of obtaining the ultimate treasure, they should reflect on their own problems!"
Upon hearing this, several universe lords immediately changed their expressions, because they were the ones who did not possess supreme treasures.
They immediately disregarded the power of the Lord of Darkness and began to argue fiercely.
Seeing the argument escalating, Giant Axe finally called a halt to everyone's actions: "Alright."
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Giant Axe frowned slightly: "Chaos has already told me about the identities of the contributors to the General Armor and General Soul technologies."
This person is a genius of our human race; his identity must indeed be kept secret, so there's no need to say more.
"As for the reward for this person—I propose 1000 Treasure Points."
The giant axe looked around: "What do you all think?"
Everyone naturally gave face to the giant axe founder's proposal. Even the several universe lords who had just been arguing could only say after exchanging glances, "We agree."
Seeing that only the representatives from Virtual Universe Company remained silent, Giant Axe turned to the Lord of Darkness: "Darkness, what about you?"
The Lord of Darkness thought for a moment. 1000 Treasure Points could barely buy a top-tier Treasure. Although he felt it was still a bit low compared to his disciple's contribution, he couldn't refuse Giant Axe's request.
"If Chen Yuan takes a fancy to any treasure but doesn't have enough Treasure Points, I'll just make up the difference."
Thinking of this, the Lord of Darkness nodded: "I have no objection."
"Very well, then it's settled."
Giant Axe smiled: "This meeting is now adjourned!"
