Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

Five hundred million years later.

This era had undoubtedly become the most glorious time for the Grand Universe, with countless heavenly geniuses emerging and numerous races contending for supremacy.

The human race no longer ranked as the number one race. Many innate races were born one after another, and with the support of major top-tier forces, they rose rapidly. Some of these innate races had exceptional talents, and with minimal cultivation, they could become Divine Generals or even Heavenly Monarchs.

Moreover, the number of True Monarchs in the various major powers continued to increase, and Heavenly Monarchs were no longer qualified to be considered part of the higher echelon.

Even within the Void Sky Hall, there were already over a hundred True Monarchs, and nearly ten thousand Heavenly Monarchs.

Although the human race also had a significant number of Heavenly Monarchs and several Half-Step True Spirit powerhouses, they currently lacked a single True Monarch, which caused their status to be affected.

Adding to this, Ye Tian had been in seclusion for too long and was unable to assist the human race, resulting in the stagnation of their development.

Of course, the human race's current situation was still far better than that of races like the Divine Race and the Demon Race. At the very least, humans were not being oppressed, whereas the Divine and Demon Races could only survive as vassals.

This mysterious force, once severely weakened by an attack from Zero, had now grown stronger.

The Dark God Society did not have many members in the Grand Universe, but they continually absorbed geniuses from various races, including some innate races. After hundreds of millions of years of cultivation, their members had increased significantly, with no shortage of Heavenly Monarchs and even a few True Monarchs.

Since they kept themselves well-hidden, other forces dared not provoke them lightly.

At this moment, in one of the Dark God Society's strongholds, a True Monarch and a Half-Step True Spirit powerhouse were engaged in conversation.

The True Monarch was one of the high-ranking members of the Dark God Society, named True Monarch Moth, who specialized in poison-attribute divine abilities and was one of the society's vice presidents.

The other was one of the society's newly rising talents, Luo Feng, from the human race. His talent was extremely high, regarded as one of the strongest geniuses of the human race in this era.

The Dark God Society had noticed Luo Feng early on and recruited him. With their help, he rose swiftly, now becoming a powerful Half-Step True Spirit with his physical body and True Spirit fusion reaching ninety-five percent. He was on the verge of stepping into the True Monarch realm.

However, he kept a low profile, and the human race knew little about him, only that he was a Half-Step True Spirit. They were unaware of his imminent breakthrough to the True Monarch level.

"Luo Feng, I have a task for you!" True Monarch Moth said in a deep voice.

"Please instruct me, Vice President," Luo Feng bowed his head and said.

"I want you to gain control of the human race. This way, we can easily bring their geniuses into our Dark God Society. The potential of the human race is still quite impressive. Not only did it produce talents like the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, but it also has geniuses like you. If we control this race, our strength will grow even more!" True Monarch Moth instructed.

"That should be easy enough," Luo Feng smiled faintly. "The human race's high-end combat strength is weak. Apart from a few Half-Step True Spirits with only one or two percent fusion, the others are just feeble Heavenly Monarchs, barely comparable to me. The only slight concern is that legendary figure, the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, who's been hyped up like a myth."

Indeed, in Luo Feng's eyes, this status was simply propped up by Ye Tian.

When Ye Tian's name resounded throughout the Grand Universe, Luo Feng hadn't even been born. Back then, he grew up hearing legends of Ye Tian.

In the past, Luo Feng had also admired Ye Tian, even taking him as a goal to strive for.

However, as Luo Feng advanced to become a Divine General, then a Heavenly Monarch, and now approached the threshold of becoming a True Monarch, Ye Tian remained a Heavenly Monarch.

At this point, Luo Feng began to look down on Ye Tian, thinking that Ye Tian was nothing more than an empty reputation.

Over the years, he had completed many assignments from the Dark God Society, killing an unknown number of geniuses. Some were hailed as once-in-a-million-year prodigies, but they were still obliterated by a single blow from him. Therefore, he believed that true geniuses were forged through battle, not through mere praise! In his eyes, Ye Tian's greatest achievement was only the killing of a newly advanced Half-Step True Spirit.

"Luo Feng, you should not underestimate the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws. Although he is still a Heavenly Monarch, his strength is undoubtedly greater than yours!" True Monarch Moth cautioned.

"Understood!" Luo Feng did not dare to argue with True Monarch Moth. After all, the strength gap between a Half-Step True Spirit and a True Monarch who had fully crossed into the True Spirit Realm was vast. Moreover, True Monarch Moth had once been a top-ranked Heavenly Monarch and had been a True Monarch for several hundred million years.

At present, True Monarch Moth was already at the mid-stage of the True Monarch Realm, far beyond what Luo Feng could compare to.

Yet, deep down, Luo Feng still didn't believe Ye Tian was as powerful as rumored. After leaving the stronghold, Luo Feng returned to the human race.

According to the Dark God Society's plan, he needed to become the leader of the human race, which would allow him to control much of the race's power.

The main figures in the human race's leadership included Xiao Yue, Ye Yu, Zhou Tian, Heavenly Monarch Kunwu, and Heavenly Monarch Primordial. These individuals were the oldest of the human race's leadership. Though their strength might not surpass some of the newly risen talents, their status remained high.

"Hmph, the human race should be led by strength. These people, whose power is far inferior to mine, should step down!" Luo Feng snarled viciously.

In reality, Luo Feng's current position wasn't low either. As one of the ten elders of the human race, he already held significant authority. However, he was not satisfied with this. Given the Dark God Society's plan, he intended to become the Human Emperor!

The human race had been without a Human Emperor for a long time. Ye Tian had the qualifications to become the Human Emperor, but since he rarely managed the affairs of the human race, he was never officially recognized as such. As for the others, their strength wasn't sufficient…

In the human race's Sacred Temple.

In his capacity as one of the ten elders, Luo Feng convened a meeting of the other elders and high-ranking leaders. This was one of the powers he possessed.

Soon, one after another, the high-ranking members gathered in the Holy Temple.

"Luo Feng, what is the purpose of this meeting?" Xiao Yue asked.

"True Monarch Xiao Yue, our human race's development has reached a period of stagnation. Many innate races have already surpassed us. If things continue like this, the human race will eventually be reduced to a situation where we are attacked and bullied by everyone!" Luo Feng declared.

"We have the backing of the Void Sky Hall and the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws. Who would dare to provoke us?" Heavenly Monarch Kunwu countered.

"Heavenly Monarch Kunwu, has the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws ever concerned himself with the human race? Moreover, with his current cultivation level as a Heavenly Monarch, what can he accomplish in an era filled with True Monarchs? Relying on the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws is less reliable than relying on ourselves!" Luo Feng responded bluntly.

"Luo Feng, what do you mean by this?" The gazes of the high-ranking members of the human race turned toward Luo Feng, as if questioning him.

Ye Tian's status within the human race was exceedingly high. Without him, the human race would have long been destroyed.

But for Luo Feng to make such remarks was nothing short of challenging Ye Tian's authority!

"What I mean is simple: I believe the human race needs to choose a Human Emperor, and I propose that the strongest person should be our Human Emperor!" Luo Feng declared loudly.
