240: When the storm comes, the way of man
The moment the war between the Nether Clan and the Demon Clan began, the future of the two races was already sealed, already kicked out of the future struggle for dominance, and reduced to cannon fodder destined for death.
Even if they haven't died yet, there is no future to speak of.
Before this war, the cannon fodder should have been the Demon Clan and the Human Race, but the Human Race resolved the crisis, annihilating the Demon Clan with thunderous means and severely wounding them.
Subsequently, by a stroke of luck, it facilitated the war between the Nether Clan and the Demon Clan, extracting itself from the conflict, and even directly executed a disguise to lower its own visibility.
Moreover, the Nether Clan is clearly luckier than the Demon Clan; the Nether Clan Sub-Dimension is a foundation, a retreat. Even if they truly lose the qualification for dominance in the end, they can survive by relying on the Sub-Dimension, at most returning to their original status.
At this point, only the Demon Clan is the most severely wounded, with no future and no retreat, they can only brace themselves for war to prolong their existence.
Unless the Demon Clan's First Ancestor can obtain a transcendence opportunity from the explored ruins and be the first to achieve the Transcendence Level, the decline and demise of the Demon Clan are irreversible.
However, in this universe, in this void, there is a cheat, and this cheat is at odds with the Demon Clan; the Demon Clan's last chance will no longer exist.
When the universe stirs with turmoil, and the starry sky trembles.
Even the Super Races cannot escape; the myriad races that are not Foundation Level and have not stepped onto the grand cosmic stage are even more like candles in the wind, unable to see their future.
The war between the Nether Clan and the Demon Clan is just the beginning of this turmoil, with a limited scope of influence for now. Only when the turmoil sweeps across the entire universe will it be a time of great misfortune for the myriad races.
Among the myriad races of the universe, very few possess Foundation Level strength. Most races only have a scarce number of Gods, and races that can have a Main God are already top-tier.
And the myriad races of the universe are already substantially surrounded by Super Races, as Super Races all originated from the cosmic frontier and are expanding from the cosmic frontier towards the cosmic interior and the location of the Abyss.
The eastern part of the universe is relatively peaceful, where the Human Race, Ancient Immortal Clan, and Demon Clan, these three Super Races, will more or less take in vassal races.
As long as there is sufficient value and they surrender quickly enough, there is still a way to survive, allowing their bloodline and racial heritage to continue.
In the western part of the universe, besides the Yisha God Race taking in some vassals, the Mechanical Clan and the Zerg are extremely exclusive races; the myriad races are merely resources for their growth.
Wherever these two races pass, only Mechanical Fortresses and Zerg Hives will exist; non-racial beings have no chance of survival, merely resources found everywhere on the roadside.
From this perspective, the myriad races in the western part of the universe will naturally choose the Yisha God Race and will not choose to attach themselves to the Mechanical Clan or the Zerg.
The Yisha God Race can naturally unite the myriad races. Because of this, the Yisha God Race needs to directly confront the alliance of the Mechanical Clan and the Zerg, fighting one against two. To unify the western part of the universe, they can only destroy the Mechanical Clan and the Zerg with absolute power.
The leaders of the Mechanical Clan and the Zerg clearly understand that their racial development is to be an enemy of all living beings in the universe, and they are not following the same evolutionary path as the other five Super Races.
Therefore, the two races are natural allies; in the early stage, they need to band together against the Yisha God Race as an external enemy. After eliminating the Yisha God Race, they will also need to eliminate the victor from the eastern part of the universe, and only then will it be time for a decisive battle.
At this stage, the Nether Clan and the Demon Clan have been excluded from the ranks of cosmic overlords. The remaining Human Race, Yisha God Race, Ancient Immortal Clan, Mechanical Clan, and Zerg all have the potential to unify the universe.
Therefore, each race's strategic goal is set for unifying the universe; no race considers itself weak or unqualified to become a cosmic overlord.
Because of this, future cosmic wars among Super Races are inevitable; only after a true battle can the future direction of the universe be determined, and the existence of the first generation of cosmic overlords be established.
The race that achieves cosmic overlord status will be able to enjoy the resources of the entire universe, truly acquire the resources of a universe, and on this basis, cultivate more Foundation Level beings, using a vast Foundation Level base to cultivate a legitimate Transcendence Level being.

In the Human Race Territory, ever since fifty-one Foundation Level beings took charge of the frontier, a closed-door policy has been implemented, hiding all information about the Human Race Territory and entering a state of war fog.
Closing the race does not mean not interacting with the outside starry sky; it merely means temporarily halting expansion, sorting out internal issues within the Human Race, and carrying out a new round of reforms to change the face of the Human Race, transforming accumulated reserves into tangible Human Race power.
The Expeditionary Force and Frontier Army located on the Human Race's frontier are not idle; instead, they need to undertake even more significant tasks.
Firstly, they will undergo a thousand-year military reorganization to forge the Expeditionary Force and Frontier Army into more elite legions, in preparation for larger-scale expansion after a thousand years.
After the thousand-year closed-door period, the number of Human Race Gods must reach a minimum of eighteen thousand, and a maximum of over twenty thousand, achieving the goal of doubling the number of Gods.
And a large number of Gods can lead a more elite Expeditionary Force and Frontier Army, expanding outwards more quickly, occupying more territory, and acquiring more resources.
Closing the race is merely for better expansion.
During this period, Human Race enclaves located throughout the cosmic starry sky will continue to expand. Prodigies who grow up within the Human Race, needing tempering and resources, will continuously enter the enclaves, becoming a driving force for the enclaves' external expansion.
These enclaves also need to continuously transport resources back to the Human Race Territory, as the Human Race Territory cannot truly sit idly by and consume its resources; it also needs external resource supply to sustain the thousand-year reform.
After the thousand-year reform, the Human Race will undoubtedly unleash even more terrifying power, laying the foundation for becoming a cosmic overlord.
At the time of the closed-door policy, it was also the time of Lin Chen's God Conferment Banquet, and Lin Chen himself did not even know that the Human Race would implement a closed-door strategy.
Currently, less than four years have passed since the closed-door policy began.
But the Human Race's path of innovation has already begun, and a thousand-year plan has been formulated. As long as the plan is strictly followed, the Human Race will be reborn after the closed-door period.
The Federal Parliament first began internal reforms, and the first object of change was itself.
The Federal Parliament, currently the Human Race's highest governing organization on the surface, is responsible for managing the Human Race Territory and official enclaves. It is the most powerful organization in the Human Race, apart from the Foundation Level and the God Council.
The Parliament is a vertical management organization, level by level.
The Federal Parliament manages the Star Domain Level Parliament, the Star Domain Parliament manages the Star Sector Level Parliament, the Star Sector Level Parliament manages the Planet Level Parliament, and the Planet Level Parliament's subordinates are the various City Level Parliaments.
Each level of parliament is the organization with the highest authority in its current region, and its subordinate departments also possess absolute enforcement power in their respective fields, and absolute power naturally breeds some undesirable things.
Even though the Federation has human luck oversight, Gods frequently patrol, and occasionally Foundation Level beings clean up pests across the entire territory, these undesirable things still cannot be completely prevented from appearing, and many people still suffer unfair treatment, which is why change is needed.
Over the past thirty thousand years, the Federation has accumulated too many problems. Previously, they were merely covered up; during these thousand years, they all need to be uncovered and resolved one by one, to reshape a reborn Human Race.
With the support of the Foundation Level and the God Council, who possess absolute power, any scoundrels who harm the Human Race's interests will receive their due punishment, forcing them to disgorge double what they took.
