Within the Hall of Gods, thousands of Venerables took their seats, their eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. The changes in the seating arrangement alone already revealed the changes within the Human Race, and this meeting, to a large extent, was also related to these changes.
Every individual who could become a Venerable was not foolish; they were all exceptionally talented beings. From even a subtle change, they could discern something different.
As the Venerable-Level took their seats, the Universe Overlords also began to enter, settling onto their thrones. The more than ten newly risen Universe Overlords each had a radiant expression on their faces.
After the Universe Overlords took their seats, the surrounding space and time seemed to freeze instantly. In the core area, on 20 massive thrones, powerful auras enveloped the entire Hall of Gods, and 20 peak powerhouses settled onto the huge thrones.
The 20 Universe Lords included 7 from Virtual Universe Corporation, 5 from Great Axe Battle Ground, 3 from Universe Mercenary Alliance, 3 from Universe First Bank, and 2 from Universe Galaxy Bank. Seated in the very center were Qin Hao and Primordial Chaos City Lord, both of whom possessed the strength of a sixth-order Universe Lord, making them the strongest among the current Universe Lords.
As for the other Universe Lords, some revealed their true faces directly, such as Lord of Void Gold and Lord of Dragon Travel. Others remained hidden in mist, such as Darkness Lord and Kong Xuan, with mist swirling around their bodies. Although their powerful auras could be felt, their faces could not be clearly seen.
After all the Universe Lords were seated, a wild and ancient aura descended, and a majestic figure stepped out from the void, ascending to the highest throne.
"Great Axe Founder!" The moment Great Axe Founder appeared, everyone in the Hall of Gods stood up and bowed respectfully. As the strongest being of the Human Race, all members of the Human Race held Great Axe Founder in extreme reverence.
"Sit!" Great Axe Founder's voice echoed through the Hall of Gods, and everyone sat down.
"This Human Race High Council is for the following resolutions and announcements:"
"First, Star Palace Master Qin Hao captured Lord of the Skywolf, contended against Dream Monster Ancestor, reached the strength of a sixth-order Universe Lord, and obtained two peak supreme treasures and one top supreme treasure for the race!"
As soon as Great Axe Founder's words fell, the many powerhouses within the Hall of Gods couldn't help but look towards Qin Hao, who was beside Primordial Chaos City Lord. Even the Universe Lords who already knew the news couldn't help but re-examine Qin Hao. From possessing the strength of a Universe Lord to now being a sixth-order Universe Lord in less than ten thousand years, such rapid growth was unprecedented in the history of the Human Race, and even in the entire Primordial Universe.
"As a reward, Star Palace Master Qin Hao can choose two peak supreme treasures or resources of equivalent value from the Human Race's treasury."
"Now for the resolution!"
As Great Axe Founder's voice fell, all the Universe Lords, Universe Overlords, and Venerables raised their hands in agreement. In essence, the two peak supreme treasures and one top supreme treasure were Qin Hao's spoils of war, and even the race would not interfere.
Bringing this matter up here was more to showcase Qin Hao's strength, stabilize his position, and assert his right to speak. After all, appearing for the first time at the Human Race High Council also allowed all the powerhouses to gain a new understanding of Qin Hao's strength and status.
"Passed!"
"Now, the second resolution. Star Palace Master Qin Hao proposed abolishing the Human Race's current slave trade. All existing Human Race slaves shall immediately gain citizen rights, and all life planets shall belong to their indigenous inhabitants. For newly discovered life planets, the discoverer can obtain development rights but not ownership."
Great Axe Founder's voice resonated through the hall, and all the Venerables continuously pondered this agenda. As powerhouses, they were not directly involved in the current slave trade, but they were aware that the current situation of slave trade within the Human Race was very complex.
Almost all the powerhouses in the various Cosmic Countries were involved to some extent. After all, slave trading itself was a huge profit, and it was difficult to eradicate. The reasons why the Human Race initially allowed such a situation to arise, without strict prohibitions on trading, were also very complex.
On one hand, it was due to the interests of various factions, and on the other hand, it was for internal competition and stimulation within the Human Race. Although technology was constantly developing, the disparity in strength, wealth, and status within the Human Race was also growing. The disregard of the strong for the weak had become the norm. Even though the Human Race was constantly undergoing reforms, the lowest-level natives remained in an oppressed state.
"Now for the resolution!" After only a brief moment for everyone to think, Great Axe Founder's voice rang out again. The first to express their agreement were all the Universe Lords and powerhouses of the Virtual Universe lineage.
Subsequently, powerhouses from other factions also began to vote. Although not everyone agreed, the number had already exceeded the majority.
"Resolution passed."
"The third resolution is also related to Star Palace Master Qin Hao. Star Palace Master Qin Hao proposed the widespread promotion of Military Formation!"
The powerhouses of various factions were all aware of Military Formation. After the Seventh Battlefield of the Outside Territory Battlefield appeared, it began to be promoted and experimented within the Virtual Universe Corporation lineage. Then, it gradually spread to the other major factions of the Human Race.
However, its scope was still very limited, and it was not fully promoted. In the Outside Territory Battlefield, apart from the core members and armies of the major factions, more members came from various Cosmic Countries.
From Universe Rank, Territory Lord Rank, World Lord Rank, to some Undying, they were unable to access the Military Formation. On one hand, various factions were improving their own strength, wanting to gain the initiative, and on the other hand, it was to prevent the Monster Race, Automaton Race, and Insect Race from learning it.
After all, the amplification brought by Military Formation had already given them a taste of its benefits, and excessive dissemination would result in it being imitated, or even becoming a tool for alien races to fight against the Human Race.
"Great Axe, will this cause the Military Formation to be leaked?" Lord of Green East asked, and several other Universe Lords also expressed their concern.
"Military Formation was developed with the Human Race as its core, combining various aspects of the Human Race, from soul, will, to coordination. The Human Race is best suited to unleash the power of Military Formation," Qin Hao said. In the deduction of Military Formation, characteristics unique to the Human Race were also incorporated.
These characteristics were not just superficial aspects like strength and physique, but also included attributes such as soul, cognition, and civilization. Although the Monster Race, Insect Race, and Automaton Race might learn Military Formation, it would be difficult for them to achieve the extreme level of coordination that the Human Race possessed.
Reaching the level of Military Soul would directly become a critical bottleneck for other races. And the most core and most powerful aspect of Military Formation was the existence of the Military Soul.
