The Ice Peak Lord looked at the other version of himself standing in the void, his eyes filled with excitement.
Although the Ice Peak Lord was also a disciple of the Original Ancestor, he had not possessed a special life-form.
Therefore, he had never had any clone-type innate secret technique.
Previously, he had even been somewhat envious of his senior brother, the Chaos City Lord.
Among the Human Race Universe Masters, the Chaos City Lord was one of the very few who possessed a clone secret technique.
Even at the Universe Master level, clones were still extremely useful.
The life-preservation function alone was extraordinarily precious.
As long as one was not annihilated at the soul level, even if a clone died, it could be re-nurtured at the cost of divine power.
Although one would lose treasures and consume a considerable amount of divine power, that was still better than losing one's life.
Moreover, if a clone's divine body was large enough, it could replenish divine power for other clones and even for the true body.
Divine power could be converted among clones.
After all, the life imprint and soul imprint within the divine power were identical.
And to annihilate all clones at once was extremely difficult.
Upon reaching the Universe Master level and possessing the will of a Universe Master, as long as one had a Top-tier soul supreme treasure, even a True God could not instantly annihilate their soul before they reacted.
As long as there was sufficient reaction time, one could completely self-destruct a clone.
Now, the Ice Peak Lord also possessed the clone innate secret technique.
In the future, his safety would increase greatly.
Not only that, his strength would also undergo a tremendous rise.
The clone secret technique chosen by the Ice Peak Lord allowed him to split into twenty clones, each possessing ten percent of the true body's strength.
Because they did not have supreme treasures, these clones could only display top-tier Second Rank strength, approaching Third Rank.
However, if combined with the true body, they could fully unleash Fifth Rank combat power!
Moreover, with clones, he could once again head to the Universe Sea to explore.
The clones could remain within the race to resurrect fallen Human Race Immortal beings and Venerables.
The Ice Peak Lord did not hesitate. He continued absorbing the ownerless divine power within the Wood-Empty origin treasure and nurtured all twenty clones.
…
Very soon, all the Human Race Universe Masters were bestowed with the clone secret technique.
Most Universe Masters chose either the first or the third type of clone secret technique.
Those were the types that provided strong life-preservation capabilities.
Universe Masters who already possessed clone secret techniques could only choose the final type of clone secret technique.
Even so, the final type was still extremely powerful.
For example, because the Chaos City Lord already had clones, he could only choose the final type.
He could split into one hundred clones, each possessing one percent of his strength.
Although each clone had no supreme treasures and only about one hundred times divine power, they could still execute Fifth Rank Universe Master ultimate fusion secret techniques.
Thus, each could fully display top-tier Second Rank strength, approaching Third Rank.
If the Chaos City Lord created a Fifth Rank combined attack secret technique suitable for himself, one hundred such clones might even unleash Sixth Rank strength!
That level of power could normally only be achieved by Universe Masters who possessed Supreme Supreme Treasures! (TL/N: Supreme Supreme treasure exist. It's not a mistake.)
The other Universe Masters' strength also increased.
Most importantly, the Human Race Universe Masters now all possessed extremely powerful life-preservation abilities.
Either they had clones, or they had incarnations.
Therefore, they could now once again venture into the Universe Sea.
The current Human Race could be said to no longer greatly fear the other races.
Previously, the reason the Human Race had stalled for time and concealed the matter of the Primal Universe clone was that if the other races truly united to besiege them, the Human Race could only retreat to the Initial Universe, the Giant Axe's miniature universe, and the Primal Universe clone.
If the other races formed an alliance, they could easily gather several hundred Universe Masters and several Universe Strongest beings.
Against such an alliance, the Human Race would have little ability to resist.
But now, the Human Race suddenly had several hundred additional Universe Master level combatants.
Although most were only First Rank or Second Rank in strength, they were still Universe Master level combat power.
And they were the kind unafraid of death!
These clones were terrifying.
They could completely exchange themselves for enemy Universe Masters.
If not for the relatively weaker strength of these clones, the Human Race Universe Masters might have already begun a counterattack.
Although the difference in the number of Universe Masters between the two sides was no longer large, the gap in individual strength remained significant.
Moreover, there were not enough supreme treasures to equip these clones.
Thus, while these clones were powerful offensively, they were very easy to kill.
They were typical examples of high attack but low defense.
Now, in order to obtain the clone secret technique, each Human Race Universe Master had to give Luo Fan one hundred Supreme Treasure points.
To restore divine power, they also had to pay several more Supreme Treasure points.
So they were somewhat impoverished.
At most, they could only let their clones use Ordinary Supreme Treasures.
Only those Universe Masters who had chosen the first type of clone secret technique, the one that could split into three clones each with sixty percent strength, were willing to equip their clones with High-tier Supreme Treasures.
After all, a set of High-tier Supreme Treasure weapons and armor cost dozens of Supreme Treasure points.
Ten sets would cost several hundred.
Several hundred Supreme Treasure points could already purchase several Top-tier Supreme Treasure weapons!
Although the Human Race Universe Masters were wealthy, their Supreme Treasure points had already been exchanged for supreme treasures to equip their true bodies.
They could hardly sell their true body's treasures just to equip their clones.
Therefore, the Human Race experts decided to return to the Universe Sea.
With so many clones, they were certain to gain considerable rewards in the Universe Sea.
In the past, they might not have cared much about powerful treasures from the Universe Sea.
But now, even powerful treasures were something they wanted.
Otherwise, if this continued, the title of the Human Race's number one debtor, currently held by Dry Witch, might change hands.
After being bestowed with the innate secret techniques, splitting their clones, and restoring their divine power, these Human Race experts returned to the Primal Universe.
After all, many of them needed to guard Human Race territories or certain secret realms and could not remain away for too long.
…
Virtual Universe, Giant Axe Divine Hall.
"Should we return to the Universe Sea to continue exploring?"
"I'm almost bankrupt now. My clones can only use Ordinary Supreme Treasures."
The Youhou Lord looked at everyone and asked. (TL/N: Youhou is also known as Remote Lord Master. A minor character.)
Because he had not broken through long ago, his strength was only Third Rank, and his wealth was not very abundant.
After equipping his clones, he had nearly exhausted his entire fortune.
The other Universe Masters exchanged glances and spoke one after another.
"I think we can. The task of resurrecting fallen Human Race experts can be handled by clones."
"Exactly. Guarding secret realms and territories can also be assigned to clones."
"Or we can even send clones to explore the Universe Sea."
Although absorbing the ownerless divine power within the Wood-Empty origin treasure required payment, merely borrowing the origin treasure was free.
Luo Fan lent it freely to the Human Race Universe Masters.
After all, he had no immediate use for it.
While the Human Race Universe Masters used the origin treasure, it would also absorb a bit of their divine power to replenish the ownerless divine power within.
It could be said that the wool came from the sheep itself.
They paid for ownerless divine power and later helped Luo Fan replenish it for free.
Thus, clones could also resurrect fallen Human Race Immortal beings and Venerables.
Seeing that most Universe Masters proposed returning to the Universe Sea, the Giant Axe pondered briefly before speaking.
"That is acceptable. Remaining within the Primal Universe is indeed not good for us."
"Now that we have clones, it is time for us to return to the Universe Sea."
In truth, the Human Race had suffered losses by retreating into the Primal Universe.
Some advantageous locations in the Universe Sea might originally have belonged to Human Race Universe Masters.
But after leaving, they might be seized by other Universe Masters.
For example, places where supreme treasures were likely to appear were often guarded by Universe Masters.
Now, since not much time had passed since their return to the Primal Universe, those locations might not yet have been occupied.
The Human Race Universe Masters had only returned for a few hundred or a thousand years.
For the Universe Sea, that amount of time was insignificant and unlikely to bring major changes.
At this moment, Luo Fan also spoke.
"Leave the matter of resurrecting fallen Human Race experts to me."
"My clone can split into a million incarnations."
"And because my Primal Universe clone can grant me resurrection authority, I can also resurrect Immortal beings and even Venerables."
Luo Fan could now fully resurrect those whose realm did not exceed his own.
In truth, there was one more thing he did not say.
Because his Primal Universe clone had been enhanced by the system, both the authority it granted and the resurrection authority had been strengthened.
That meant if he broke through to become a Universe Master, it was very likely he could even resurrect fallen Human Race Universe Masters.
However, he could not yet be certain of this.
The Primal Universe clone itself definitely had the means to resurrect them.
But at present, the Primal Universe clone was difficult to move.
The technique Size at Will had only been cultivated to the first layer.
At minimum, Luo Fan would need to cultivate it to the fifth layer before there was a possibility of returning the Primal Universe clone to the Primal Universe.
Alternatively, he could attempt it after breaking through to become a Universe Master.
Even so, just knowing that Luo Fan, merely at the Venerable realm, could resurrect fallen Human Race Immortal beings and even Venerables shocked these Universe Masters once more.
Only Universe Masters could resurrect fallen experts. This was practically an iron law.
Even the World Tree, which possessed the innate secret technique Control Space-Time, could not resurrect fallen experts.
Because the World Tree had suffered origin loss in order to nurture other World Trees, it was now only at the Venerable level.
Although by relying on Control Space-Time it possessed strength comparable to a Universe Master, it ultimately could not resurrect fallen humans.
After all, its Control Space-Time was inferior to that of a true Universe Master, and resurrection authority was granted by the Primal Universe.
This was also why even Beast Gods who did not follow the Space-Time Path could still use Control Space-Time to resurrect fallen experts.
And now, within the Primal Universe, a Venerable capable of resurrecting experts had appeared.
However, thinking of Luo Fan's Primal Universe clone, the Human Race experts felt relieved.
At that moment, someone suddenly reacted.
"A million incarnations!"
"You actually have that many incarnations?!"
