Chapter 1072: Visit

Moments later, Mei Dolfan left, and only then did Gan Wu, the King of Qian Wu, immediately depart. After all, staying any longer would be embarrassing.

Luo Feng silently watched this scene unfold.

Was Gan Wu, the King of Qian Wu, lucky or unlucky? Luo Feng found it hard to judge, but he could see that Gan Wu was indeed in a pitiful state.

“Senior Niu Zhou, I’ll leave the matter of inquiring about Senior Tian Yang to you,” Luo Feng said, continuing to chat with Senior Niu Zhou for quite some time before rising to leave.

“Haha, I’ll inform you immediately once I have any news. It’s a small matter,” Senior Niu Zhou replied.

Luo Feng then vanished into thin air.

…

On the mid-slope of Thunder Island in the virtual universe, within the palace of Gan Wu, the King of Qian Wu.

He was walking alone along the corridor, frowning as if deep in thought. Indeed, he was troubled… He had not expected the long period of peace to be shattered once again! The six Cosmic Sovereigns he owed were all close friends who never pressured him, and the peaceful days had made Gan Wu forget the bitter days of his past humiliations.

But today… had truly been humiliating.

“Hmph!” Gan Wu angrily struck the nearby stone pillar, causing it to tremble slightly and some dust to fall.

“Qian Wu,” a voice called out.

Gan Wu turned his head and saw a figure flying toward him. Upon recognition, he hurriedly went forward to greet, “Luo Feng.”

“It’s been a while since you last visited my place,” Luo Feng smiled.

“You’ve made rapid progress in a short time, so your time must be precious,” Gan Wu replied with a smile. “Come, come, come, let’s sit over there.” He led Luo Feng to an open-air table not far away, where servants promptly brought delicacies and wine.

They sat facing each other.

“Has Xiao Hai been causing any trouble lately?” Luo Feng asked.

“Not at all. He is quite talented and diligent,” Gan Wu smiled. “If I hadn’t deliberately held him back, he might have become an Immortal long ago.”

Luo Feng nodded.

His son Luo Hai had been cultivating for over 100,000 years now, and with resources sufficient to make even King-level Immortals envious. With Luo Feng’s current status, even someone with the lowest talent could be pushed to the level of an Immortal purely through resources. Let alone the fact that Luo Hai was already quite gifted and always looked up to his father, Luo Feng, as his role model.

“It’s good for him to stay at the Monarch level a bit longer. It would be best if he could reach King-level comprehension of the Laws before breaking through to Immortality,” Luo Feng said.

“Exactly. That’s also my plan,” Gan Wu nodded.

“Haha, my family only really worries me about this Xiao Hai. Fortunately, you’ve always been there as his master to help him,” Luo Feng laughed. As for his eldest son, Luo Ping, and his wife, Xu Xin, they had remained at the Luo family’s ancestral home. His father, Luo Hongguo, and mother, Gong Xinlan, had spent countless years immersed in virtual reality games, endlessly enjoying themselves while exploring various virtual worlds.

Luo Feng had never stinted on providing resources for his parents. Although they didn’t focus much on cultivation, they had unknowingly already reached the Ninth Stage of Domain Lord. If they had applied themselves even slightly, they would have long since become World Monarchs.

Of course, only his parents, wife, son, and younger brother enjoyed such unrestricted access to resources.

The rest of the Luo clan’s billions of members had to follow strict rules. No matter how abundant the resources were, they could not withstand the endless consumption by countless clan members without proper regulations.

Among Luo Feng’s closest family, only his youngest son, Luo Hai, had been adventuring outside, taking his father as his role model, which was the main source of Luo Feng’s concern.

Fortunately—

Since Luo Hai had long been affiliated with the Gan Wu Dojo and was later personally accepted as a direct disciple by its founder, Gan Wu, the King of Qianwu.

…

Luo Feng gazed at Gan Wu, the King of Qian Wu. Indeed, he owed Gan Wu an immense debt of gratitude! When he had first emerged as a prodigy among the human race, Gan Wu had already been watching over the Luo family… As Luo Feng grew stronger, Gan Wu had gone above and beyond to assist him even further. He had even personally rescued Luo Hai.

Now, he had become Luo Hai’s teacher.

Throughout everything, Gan Wu had never asked Luo Feng for any favors, yet had continuously supported him. How could Luo Feng not remember this kindness? And so… he had come here today.

“Gan Wu, I saw what happened in the inner city of Hong Alliance,” Luo Feng began.

Gan Wu’s expression stiffened, and he sighed lightly while shaking his head.

“Greed.”

“Greed indeed,” Gan Wu shook his head regretfully. “If I hadn’t been greedy for a quick recovery after my first resurrection following my initial death—had I not tried to make up for all my losses at once—then I wouldn’t have taken the risk of borrowing a treasure and heading into the Primordial Star.”

“That greed led to my death… causing me to owe the race, another treasure, and even a complete set of top-tier heavy treasures. That was the worst loss I ever suffered.”

“Three deaths in total.”

Gan Wu shook his head. “Venturing into the Primordial Star is dangerous—one misstep could lead to death. And the cost of death is immense. If only I had the ability to create clones…”

Luo Feng nodded silently.

With the talent for creating clones, one could send a clone ahead. Even if the clone perished, it could slowly regenerate without needing to reverse time for resurrection, thus minimizing the cost.

“I’m trying to repay everything! Fortunately, some of my good friends transferred part of their contribution points directly to me, so I’ve finally repaid that treasure,” Gan Wu said. “Though I’ve repaid the treasure, I still owe several good friends. As for what I owe the race… it has accumulated over time, and I don’t know in which era I’ll ever be able to repay it all.”

“Greed!”

“If I hadn’t been greedy, after my first death I wouldn’t have taken such risks but instead slowly accumulated strength. At least I could have recovered from that first loss before taking any further risks,” Gan Wu shook his head.

Luo Feng understood.

The race was not a charity. Although it would support its members, ultimately, the strong had to rely on themselves. Receiving benefits from the race meant giving back in return. If Gan Wu continued to accumulate debts to the race like this, the debt would only grow… Fortunately, the race would not force him to repay.

“How much do you owe?” Luo Feng asked.

“Hmm?” Gan Wu was momentarily stunned, looking at Luo Feng with a growing suspicion, barely able to suppress his excitement.

Could it be that Luo Feng, known as a ‘walking treasure trove,’ was about to offer help?

“I owe six Cosmic Sovereigns. The smallest debt is a few hundred Heavy Treasure Points, and the largest is up to two thousand. Altogether, it’s about 1.6 Treasured Points,” Gan Wu said. “As for what I owe the race, it totals 2.2 Treasured Points.”

Luo Feng was secretly surprised.

That’s brutal!

No wonder he couldn’t repay it—it was enough to exchange for two or three ordinary treasures. A typical Cosmic Overlord would have about that much in assets. And Gan Wu was in debt for that much…

Of course, Luo Feng didn’t really care. He had obtained a treasure armor by killing the Barking Mirror King, and later killed a Cosmic Overlord-level ‘Bajian Sovereign’ in the abyss, gaining two treasures, one of which, the divine sword, was a ‘High-Level Treasure’.

Currently, Luo Feng possessed the Tower Beads, the Star Chart, the Shiwu Wings, the Jiuxiao River, the Jinzhen Hare King Armor, the divine sword and armor from Bajian Sovereign, the top-tier set treasure ‘Beast God Armor’, the peak-level treasure ‘Calamity Armor’, the high-level treasure war blade ‘Zhan Yue’… and soon to be the ultimate treasure, the Star Tower!

He had many treasures, and their quality was also high.

Of course, the best three—Beast God Armor, Calamity Armor, and Star Tower—among them, Calamity Armor and Star Tower came from Zuo Shangke. The Beast God Armor set was won from the Ancestor in a bet. These top three treasures all came from the strongest beings in the universe.

Moreover, with Luo Feng’s abilities, acquiring more treasures wouldn’t be difficult.

The strong get stronger—that was the truth.

“I’ll lend you 1.6 Treasured Points,” Luo Feng said. “As for what you owe the race, you’ll have to handle that on your own.”

“1.6 Treasured Points?” Gan Wu felt every cell in his body cheering and roaring, his excitement completely boiling over. For countless eons, he had been in debt to six Cosmic Sovereign friends, a torment that had weighed heavily on him. Especially this time, when Mei Dolfan directly berated him, he could only endure it silently.

As a Cosmic Sovereign, he valued his dignity greatly. Yet, faced with his friends’ angry scoldings, he could only bear it.

But from today onward… all of this would be gone.

“Luofeng,” Gan Wu was so grateful he didn’t know what to say. At that moment, he also received a notification email regarding the receipt of 1.6 Treasured Points, along with another email from the race urging him to repay his debts. However, Gan Wu would not rush to repay the race, as they would not force him into a humiliating position.

“I can only help you this much. The rest is up to you,” Luofeng stood up.

“This help you’ve given… Haha…” Gan Wu couldn’t help but laugh. “Sorry, I’m a bit overwhelmed. This pressure has weighed on me for endless eons, but today it’s finally gone. From now on, I can slowly repay the race.”

Luofeng nodded.

Gan Wu had done a lot for his family. This was also a way to repay the favor.

Helping him with 1.6 Treasured Points was enough. Letting him keep the debt to the race would serve as a reminder and pressure for Gan Wu.

“I’ll take my leave first,” Luofeng immediately vanished into thin air.

Gan Wu stood there, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

“Hahahaha… Hahahahahaha…” Gan Wu suddenly threw his head back in laughter, his voice echoing throughout the entire palace. The servants selected from the Gan Wu Cosmic Kingdom looked at each other in astonishment. They had never heard Gan Wu laugh so joyfully and freely before.

Gan Wu immediately transferred the contribution points, distributing them to the six friends.

“Gan Wu, you’ve actually repaid your contribution points?”

“Where did you get them from?”

“Gan Wu, I wasn’t being deliberate before in Hong Alliance City; I was just anxious. Where did you get these contribution points? If you really can’t manage it, there’s no need to force yourself. Delaying for a while is fine. I can wait.”

The six Cosmic Sovereigns contacted him one after another.

Gan Wu, in high spirits, spoke with each of the six Cosmic Sovereigns.

“The pressure is gone in an instant,” Gan Wu felt an immense sense of relief, while secretly sighing at how truly incredible Luo Feng’s progress was… In the blink of an eye, he casually transferred 1.6 Treasured Points.

…

In the vast cosmic expanse, the dark starry sky revealed a hazy spatial vortex.

“Is this leading to the Primordial Star numbered 02818?” Luo Feng stood in space, gazing at it from afar. His silver wings spread from his back, his Calamity Armor shimmering in silver, and the Zhan Yue blade resting on his back. “The last time I entered secretly, no one knew that Luo Feng had gone into the Primordial Star. In the Hong Alliance, many Sovereigns have already been discussing… saying that back then, my claim of going to the Primordial Star without borrowing a treasure was purely an excuse.”

“Haha…”

“Yes, it’s time I entered and explored as a human.”

“You alien Cosmic Overlords, the walking treasure trove has arrived,” Luo Feng took a step in space and directly entered the massive spatial vortex. In an instant, he was teleported into the Primordial Star.
