The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1569: Chapter 1569: Wait a Moment

Luo Jiuhong was completely indifferent to the angry gazes of several Human Clan Venerables.

He pursed his lips and continued, ”The allocation of thirty fixed slots is settled like this. Now, the lottery drawing for the floating slots will take place. Each clan has one chance to draw. The results will determine the ownership of these twenty floating slots.”

The smaller clans all started to become restless.

They were not qualified to fight for the fixed slots, so they could only place their hope in the floating slots. And the chance to get a floating slot was based purely on luck. The odds were about one in five.

”Please wait a moment!”

Chunyu Venerable stood up and looked toward the direction of the Heavenly Platform.

Upon hearing Chunyu Venerable’s voice, quite a few people in the audience turned their gazes towards him. The councilmen and elders on the Heavenly Platform also focused on Chunyu Venerable.

”Human Clan Chunyu Venerable, do you have something to say?” Luo Jiuhong asked with a smile and a calm voice.

In fact, before reading the allocation scroll, Luo Jiuhong had anticipated that the Human Clan might be dissatisfied with such a result. However, this allocation was not decided by him, but by the council as a whole. The Human Clan, despite their dissatisfaction, would have to endure it forcibly. Otherwise, even that one fixed slot could be unilaterally stripped away by the council.

”I do have something I’d like to say.”

”I want to know, why is it that this time my Human Clan only received one fixed slot to enter the Chaos Secret Realm?” Chunyu Venerable asked loudly, his face slightly flushing.

Chunyu Venerable was a relatively mild-mannered Venerable.

Although Jing Yan had not known Chunyu Venerable for a long time, he could sense Chunyu Venerable’s carefree and easy-going spirit. But for the sake of the Human Clan’s interests, Chunyu Venerable firmly stood up to question the Sky Creation City Council.

Of course, among the three Venerables leading the Human Clan this time, Chunyu Venerable was the most senior. After Chunyu Venerable was Thunderbolt Venerable. Ruchen Venerable, was the youngest, and relatively weaker in strength.

”It’s the council’s decision. Chunyu Venerable, your Human Clan’s strength is rather weak, so only getting one slot for the Chaos Secret Realm is justified, and you need not question it.” Luo Jiuhong responded with a wave of his arm.

”I acknowledge that our Human Clan’s strength is weak compared to the Six Great Clans. However, I have another question. I believe that the Netherworld Clan’s strength should be somewhat stronger than the Spirit Monster Clan’s, so why does the Netherworld Clan receive four slots while the Spirit Monster Clan receives five fixed slots?” Chunyu Venerable asked again.

This time, he involved the Netherworld Clan as well.

As Chunyu Venerable spoke, he also glanced toward the Netherworld Clan’s designated area.

Strong figures of the Netherworld Clan exchanged glances and some frowned slightly.

To be honest, the Netherworld Clan was somewhat discontented with the Spirit Monster Clan receiving five slots. The Netherworld Clan felt it would be more fitting if they got five slots and the Spirit Monster Clan got four. However, the Netherworld Clan apparently had no intention of stepping forward due to this. After all, four fixed slots quite matched the Netherworld Clan’s expectations.

As for the Human Clan only obtaining one fixed slot, it had nothing to do with the Netherworld Clan. Even if the Human Clan was deprived of any fixed slots, the Netherworld Clan wouldn’t think of standing up for them.

”Chunyu Venerable, please be mindful of your words. If your Human Clan is displeased with the small number of fixed slots received, that is your own issue and don’t drag us, the Netherworld Clan, into it.” A strong figure of the Netherworld Clan frowned and looked at Chunyu Venerable.

”Apologies!” Chunyu Venerable cupped his hand toward the strong figure of the Netherworld Clan and continued, ”I am merely curious. In my opinion, the Spirit Monster Clan lacks the qualifications to receive more slots than the Netherworld Clan.”

Several strong figures of the Netherworld Clan had their eyelids twitch slightly. Chunyu Venerable’s words indeed struck a chord with them.

Why should the Spirit Monster Clan be above the Netherworld Clan?

This time, the strong figures of the Netherworld Clan remained silent and instead shifted their gaze to the Heavenly Platform.

Luo Jiuhong’s face turned somber as he glanced at Chunyu Venerable and then turned to look at the higher seat.

The second chair stood up again, with a stern face and a hint of impatience in his eyes.

”Human Clan Chunyu Venerable, since you have objections to the allocation of fixed slots for the Chaos Secret Realm, allow me to explain it to you personally.”

”The reduction in the number of slots for the Human Clan is inevitable because the Human Clan’s strength is the weakest among the Six Great Clans. As for why the Spirit Monster Clan gets five fixed slots, it is because not long ago, the Spirit Monster Clan accomplished a great merit by discovering a growing Black Wave Hole. If not for the Spirit Monster Clan’s timely discovery, once this Black Wave Hole grows to a certain extent, it would be a disaster for our Chaos Universe.” The second chair said loudly.

”Black Wave Hole?”

”God! Another Black Wave Hole has been discovered!”

”...”

Upon hearing the three words ”Black Wave Hole,” countless strong figures present revealed expressions of shock.

A Black Wave Hole is a celestial body with extremely powerful destructive capabilities. Furthermore, this celestial body called a Black Wave Hole has a self-growing nature. It can devour all matter around it. The key is, a Black Wave Hole can continuously grow; the more matter it devours, the more energy it gains, and its growth rate accelerates.

Therefore, a Black Wave Hole is indeed a great threat to the entire universe. An early-stage Black Wave Hole is relatively easier to destroy. However, once it matures to a certain stage, it’s very difficult to deal with. Even Venerable-level experts cannot get close. A Black Wave Hole event occurred one billion years ago; that time it was discovered rather late, by which point it had already grown large. The various clans of the universe paid an enormous price before ultimately destroying it.

If this Black Wave Hole was truly discovered by the Spirit Monster Clan in a timely manner, then the Spirit Monster Clan indeed accomplished a great merit, and it seems reasonable for the council to award them additional fixed slots.

Upon hearing the second chair’s words, Chunyu Venerable was momentarily unable to refute, and could only turn his gaze towards Elder Xiao Ye.

”Chunyu Venerable, you need not look at Elder Xiao Ye. Although Elder Xiao Ye comes from your Human Clan, he cannot overly favor your Human Clan. In fact, Elder Xiao Ye has already helped your Human Clan a lot. Originally, according to the council’s intentions, they wanted to exclude the Human Clan from the Six Great Clans. It was Elder Xiao Ye’s resolute opposition that finally preserved the Human Clan’s status among the Six Great Clans.” The second chair added.

Upon hearing this, Chunyu Venerable and others turned slightly pale.

If the Human Clan were excluded from the Six Great Clans, it would indeed be a disaster. In that case, the Human Clan would not receive even one fixed slot for the Chaos Secret Realm, and could only compete in the lottery with hundreds of other small and medium clans for the floating slots.

Seeing that Chunyu Venerable was no longer speaking, the second chair sat back down.

He then told Luo Jiuhong, ”Luo Jiuhong Elder, continue please!”

”Wait a moment!”

Just then, a loud voice rang out.
