Most of the Macrocosm Ancestral Gods here were from the First Universe and would obey the Omnipotent Lord’s every
command. The same goes for the Lords of other universes. As such, he was only trying to rub this in the Omnipotent Lord’s face.
The Omnipotent Lord’s expression darkened.
“Cut to the chase, Longinus. Please leave if there’s nothing else you need. We still have a meeting going on here.”
As if suddenly reminded of something, Longinus said, “Indeed, I have something I wish to ask you.”
The Omnipotent Lord looked at him and asked, “What is it?”
Longinus said, “Surely you have heard of Forty-nine?”
“What about him?” The Omnipotent Lord was puzzled. Why would Longinus suddenly bring up Forty-nine?
“Oh, nothing much. Just that he came looking for me and sought to win me over. He wants me to support him as the Lord of the
new universe. He even promised he would make me his deputy,” Longinus said nonchalantly.
At the same time, he observed the Omnipotent Lord’s expressions intently.
As expected, the moment he mentioned Forty-nine, the Omnipotent Lord’s expression changed. Longinus glanced at him and
smiled faintly, asking, “Say... If I support Forty-nine, do you think you can still be the Lord of the new universe after the
consolidation?”
Hearing this, the Omnipotent Lord’s expression darkened once more.
Below, a Macrocosm Ancestral God could no longer suppress his rage as he said, “Who does Forty-nine think he is? What
makes him think he can be the Lord of the new universe?”
Longinus said, “Indeed, I have no idea who he is or what he is capable of. Perhaps the Omnipotent Lord would care to enlighten
us?”
Then, he glanced at the Omnipotent Lord and asked, “Would you do me the honor?”
The Omnipotent Lord did not wish to waste his breath on Longinus. All this while, Longinus had always been his arch-rival. Now
that he was here making trouble for him, he was indeed affected by his words.
He remained silent.
Seeing this, Longinus immediately understood.
“I thought you fear no one in the twelve universes. So there’s someone you are afraid of... Looks like James is not to be trifled
with.”
After getting the answer he needed, Longinus simply stood up and turned to leave the main hall. After he left, the smile on his
face froze. Judging by the Omnipotent Lord’s reaction, Forty-nine must truly be a terrifying opponent.
He rubbed his temples.
A single Omnipotent Lord on his plate was already troublesome enough. Now, Forty-nine had expressed his wish to become the
Lord of the new universe. Longinus’ chances of becoming the Lord were diminishing. However, not all was bleak. That was
because Forty-nine could not act as a balancer against the Omnipotent Lord. As such, the pressure on his shoulders would also
be lifted.
In the main hall, a Macrocosm Ancestral God asked, “Omnipotent Lord, is Forty-nine of the Twelfth Universe truly a formidable
foe?”
The others looked at the Omnipotent Lord, who nodded slightly and said, “Indeed... His master is a powerful individual.
Meanwhile, he also possesses great strength and should be at the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank. His master, on
the other hand, has surpassed the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
“Surpassed the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank?”
“How can this be? How can there be anyone surpassing the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank?”
“Isn’t the Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God Rank the peak of cultivation?”
Everyone was shocked.
