“Earth? No way.”
“The Qijing Stone is merely one of the 36 credentials; it’s not enough to exchange for Earth.”
Seeing that other Masters of the Universe disagreed, the Chaos City Lord frowned and spoke up: “Back then, our Virtual Universe Company took the lead. We only spent 50 billion Chaos Units to purchase the ocean ownership of Earth, and even the 50 billion Chaos Units weren’t paid in one go, but in three installments. Now, exchanging with the Qijing Stone… I think that’s fair enough.”
“Chaos!”
“Chaos!”
Two other Masters of the Universe spoke simultaneously. They exchanged glances, then one of them, a giant covered in scales with three horns on his head, spoke in a deep voice: “Back then, Luo Feng was merely a small figure; 50 billion Chaos Units was already an astronomical sum for him. Although your Virtual Universe Company was the one to sign the contract with him… the Universe Mercenary Alliance and other parties also had agreements with you! The ownership of Earth’s oceans and the airspace above them is co-owned by five parties! All five parties can send descendants to live on Earth. And after 100,000 years, you know how special Earth has become. What an extraordinary planet! The children born there can be cultivated far more effectively. Initially, their progress rate was on par with other planets’ descendants, but as time went on, as long as they continued to be cultivated, their progress far surpassed that of other planets’ descendants.”
“The incredible Situ Shanke actually managed to create such a planet. I wonder how much effort he invested back then to alter infants’ souls. How incredible is that?”
“Situ Shanke truly deserves to be called the oldest and strongest being in the universe.” The giant sighed.
As the uppermost echelon of the human race, they were all aware of Situ Shanke’s existence.
Although the human race does possess the mightiest beings in the universe, when the cosmos was first born, humans were merely beginning to multiply like toddlers taking their first steps. At that time, the invincible entities that roamed the universe were the “special lives.” These formidable special lives were innately powerful from birth, such as the Eight Beasts Gods, among others.
Situ Shanke was a lone wanderer who became the strongest being in the universe during the earliest period of the universe’s birth.
“Earth continuously produces powerful beings,” the giant said in a low voice. “It can fully give rise to a major branch of the human race, its value no less than that of top-tier domain treasures. I absolutely refuse to exchange it lightly!”
“I also disagree.”
“Disagree.”
The leaders of the two major forces, the First Galactic Bank and the Cosmic Milky Way Bank, also spoke at the same time, causing the Chaos City Lord to frown slightly.
“What should we do about the Qijing Stone?” The voice of the Axe Creator on the main seat was deep and powerful. “You are unwilling to return Earth; Luo Feng won’t hand over the Qijing Stone either.”
“Our human race lacks supreme treasures! As for top-tier domain treasures… at this level, our human race still has several,” the giant said directly. “Moreover, the Qijing Stone merely represents an opportunity to obtain such a treasure. How few or many such opportunities have we encountered? Like the Cosmic Sea… if you dare to risk your life, you might obtain a top-tier domain treasure at any time.”
“A one-in-thirty-six chance to obtain a top-tier domain treasure! You think that’s enough to take Earth? Impossible.”
“Right.”
“I agree with what Huang Jian said.”
The three leaders of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the First Galactic Bank, and the Cosmic Milky Way Bank all expressed their views.
“Everyone, my disciple Luo Feng,” the Chaos City Lord spoke up. “His current strength should be on par with a top-level cosmic overlord.”
Whoosh!
All the Masters of the Universe, including the Axe Creator, turned to look.
“Chaos, you’re not joking, are you?”
“Luo Feng, a top-level cosmic overlord after only so many years of cultivation?”
“Did you see it with your own eyes?”
“Impossible.”
Not a single Master of the Universe could believe that after only 100,000 years of cultivation, let alone becoming immortal 20,000 years ago, Luo Feng could now reach the strength of a top-level cosmic overlord. Probably, there are very few in the vast universe who would believe it.
“Chaos, is it true?” The Axe Creator couldn’t help but ask.
The Chaos City Lord glanced around and nodded slightly: “I haven’t personally verified it, but with ten thousand years of master-disciple relationship with Luo Feng and my understanding of him… if he dares to say it, it won’t be false!”
“You haven’t personally verified it.”
“So it hasn’t been confirmed yet.”
The Masters of the Universe who had never truly interacted with Luo Feng shook their heads with smiles.
“Chaos, Luo Feng might just be trying to add some leverage in the matter of the Qijing Stone and Earth, so he’s using the relationship between you and him as a teacher and student, deliberately saying this. Because he believes… you, his teacher, will believe him.” The ruler of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, Huang Jian, laughed directly.
“Huang Jian, do you think my disciple would be like your disciples?” The Chaos City Lord’s eyes flared with a hint of anger.
Huang Jian smiled and didn’t dare to say more.
After all, the Chaos City Lord was the top authority of the Virtual Universe Company. Whether in terms of strength or status, probably only the Axe Creator in the room had the qualifications to surpass him! And even the ‘Primordial Universe’ was under the control of the Chaos City Lord… all of these made the Chaos City Lord’s position much higher than his.
Among the five major forces within the human race, the Axe Combat Arena and the Virtual Universe Company were the strongest, while the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the First Galactic Bank, and the Cosmic Milky Way Bank were all a step behind.
“Even if Luo Feng is a top cosmic overlord, let him go to the Qishen Temple and take some losses. As for exchanging back Earth… the Qijing Stone is far from enough.”
“Exchanging the Qijing Stone for the ownership of Earth is impossible.”
…
Seeing this, the Chaos City Lord couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. To become a Master of the Universe, an existence of such greatness, each had their own temperament. There were those who were cold and aloof, defiant and untamed, and those who appeared kind but were ruthless inside! As long as they didn’t cross the bottom line, the human race would naturally tolerate these super existences. Super existences had their privileges, as long as they didn’t cross the bottom line!
Among the various Masters of the Universe, the Chaos City Lord usually presided over the overall human situation, being the one who valued the big picture the most.
In his opinion.
Although Earth was important, allowing other forces to cultivate some geniuses or allowing the Earth branch to cultivate geniuses, weren’t they all part of the human race? The overall strength of the human race would still be strong. And it could also gain Luo Feng’s gratitude and loyalty. Moreover, with such a vast human territory… even if the Earth branch could rival the Flame God Clan, it would still be just a tiny part of the overall strength of the human race.
“As soon as it involves their own interests, none of them are willing to give in easily,” the Chaos City Lord sighed inwardly.
…
“This matter ends here.”
The voice of the Axe Creator on the main seat rang out, and all the other Masters of the Universe fell silent and looked over.
“Chaos.”
The Axe Creator looked at the Chaos City Lord.
The Chaos City Lord also slightly lowered his head in respect and listened carefully.
“You go and tell Luo Feng that exchanging the Qijing Stone for the ownership of Earth cannot be approved. As for his Qijing Stone… if he is unwilling to accept other solutions, the race will not force him,” the Axe Creator smiled. “As for the ownership of Earth… tell him that as long as he can reach sufficient strength, everything is possible.”
“Understood.” The Chaos City Lord smiled.
The other Masters of the Universe, however, looked somewhat bewildered.
“Great Axe.”
“Great Axe, this…”
The Axe Creator swept his gaze and coldly said, “When Luo Feng can sit together with us, that will be the time when the ownership of Earth is returned to Luo Feng.”
More than ten Masters of the Universe could only bow their heads in obedience.
In the human race… if the Axe Creator truly issued an order, no one could defy it.
…
Luo Feng soon received the news.
When he heard the news from his teacher, it made Luo Feng both angry and a bit hopeful. He was angry because… the half ownership of Earth bought for merely 50 billion Chaos Units back then couldn’t even be exchanged back now with the Qijing Stone, which was worth millions or even millions of times more! He felt hopeful about the promise made by the Axe Creator!
“So important is Earth, no wonder it’s not easily returned.”
“Sitting together with them, huh?” Luo Feng murmured.
“Coming soon.”
“Earth… will always belong to the people of Earth,” Luo Feng murmured. Over nearly 100,000 years, he had been striving to cultivate and strengthen himself, all for the day when he could fully shoulder the sky for the people of Earth! Because he was the strongest among Earth’s people, the ‘god’ worshipped by Earth’s people, and the spiritual leader of Earth’s people!
In fact, since Luo Feng first stepped into the universe, especially after becoming the Lord of Earth and repeatedly protecting Earth from danger, the people of Earth had worshipped Luo Feng immensely.
Personal worship!
Extreme worship for a hero!
And as time passed… day by day, year by year, especially for those Earthlings who had ventured into the universe, they became more and more aware of the benefits Luo Feng had brought them, naturally worshipping him even more. After ten thousand years of worship… passed down from generation to generation, Luo Feng had completely become the symbol and leader of Earth’s people!
“My strength will soon be sufficient to fully protect the Earth people,” Luo Feng murmured.
…
In the distant Northern Border Alliance, within the grand palace of the great Star River Ruler.
“Star River Ruler.”
Both heads of the Radiant Light Lord were filled with reverence.
“The alliance leader revived you,” the voice echoed from the dark void above the grand hall. “Yet you claim… it was Luo Feng who killed you back then?”
“Yes.” The Radiant Light Lord respectfully replied. “He killed me with just one slash of his blade! Only one slash!”
When Luo Feng departed from the Beast God Realm and returned to the original universe, his reappearance on the Primitive Star made him appear as a walking treasure trove in the eyes of many alien powerhouses. The first to actually encounter Luo Feng at that time was none other than the Radiant Light Lord! Yet, the Radiant Light Lord was instantly slain by Luo Feng with a single slash.
“Are you certain it was Luo Feng? And that it was just one slash?” The dark void spoke again.
“Star River Ruler, I am absolutely certain. This is the scene of him killing me back then!” The Radiant Light Lord respectfully replied, simultaneously projecting the memory through his divine power. The sharp, cold slash from Luo Feng… turned into a dazzling golden light, cleaving down on the Radiant Light Lord’s ordinary treasure armor, causing him to perish instantly.
Silence.
The Star River Ruler also fell silent. Previously, when he revived a large number of Cosmic Sovereigns, some of them had said it was Luo Feng who personally killed them… which already indicated that Luo Feng possessed the strength of a Cosmic Overlord.
But the Radiant Light Lord himself was a Cosmic Overlord! To be killed in one slash… that definitely meant he was a top-tier Cosmic Overlord.
“He has only been immortal for 20,000 years…” The voice from the dark void was filled with astonishment. “Issue the order.”
The voice rang out in the ears of each Cosmic Sovereign throughout the palace complex, and all the Cosmic Sovereigns respectfully listened.
“Humankind’s Luo Feng possesses the strength of a top-tier Cosmic Overlord, enough to rival the human Tianyi Ruler. Spread this news far and wide, throughout the entire universe… ensure that all factions in the universe come to know, especially the insect race, beast race, and machine race, who have the greatest enmity with humankind! They will certainly do everything in their power to eliminate Luo Feng as soon as possible. If he has already reached the level of Tianyi Ruler in such a short time, what will happen if you give him another few hundred thousand years? Will the human race gain another Chaos City Lord?”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
Each Cosmic Sovereign in the palace complex received the order.
…
Soon, the news began to spread through various channels of the Northern Border Alliance. The Northern Border Alliance was a superpower in the universe with the largest number of races and Cosmic Sovereigns. When they actively disseminated the news… almost within a single day, the nine major superpowers in the universe, numerous top-tier forces…
Throughout the vast universe, nearly every faction came to know of this.
The news naturally reached the human race as well, and the Cosmic Sovereigns of the human race all came to know of this news. Figures like Zhenyan Sovereign, Niuzhou Sovereign, Nine-Sword Sovereign, Qianwu King, Tianyi Sovereign, Immortal Sovereign, Unity Sovereign… all received this universe-shaking news on the same day.
An existence of unparalleled and inconceivable power—Luo Feng, who truly shook the upper echelons of every race in the universe.
