“Protector Sovereign?” Luo Feng was stunned. The Jiuyou Sovereign was precisely the Protector Sovereign of the Ancestral God Sect. The position of Protector Sovereign represented the highest rank among the outer circle members of the Ancestral God Sect, second only to the Ancestral God himself, and even comparable in status to the Beast God.
“No wonder he’s helping me so much. He must have high hopes for me, wanting me to become the Protector Sovereign,” Luo Feng mused inwardly. “Right now, facing a Cosmic God, I still need supreme treasures for protection. But once I step into the Cosmic Sovereign realm… my divine power will surge again, and naturally my consciousness will rise as well.”
“Then, even without soul-type supreme treasures, I won’t have to fear the illusions of the Void-Zhen Demon Sovereign,” Luo Feng thought.
His current strength was formidable, daring to challenge a Cosmic Sovereign…
But when facing the Cosmic Overlords, he still needed the Star Tower to protect his life. It seemed that the greatest insight belonged to the Cosmic Overlord ‘Sitting Mountain Guest,’ who had once said that with the Star Tower, Luo Feng could roam the universe fearlessly. Another implication of that statement was that without the Star Tower, Luo Feng couldn’t yet reach a level where he feared no being in the universe.
Understanding the intentions of the Ancestral God Sect, Luo Feng still felt grateful.
After all, they had only done this out of respect for him. Furthermore, based on Luo Feng’s own investigations, the Ancestral God Religion indeed had no conflicts with humanity. Additionally, the Ancestral God Religion had long promised that once someone, such as a human, joined as an outer circle member, they would never compel human experts to fight against their own race. Outer circle members could even decline specific mission requests.
“The Void-Zhen Demon Sovereign has already targeted you once, so you should understand how determined the Insect Race, Machine Race, and Beast Clans are to kill you,” the Dual-Faced Ancestral God looked at Luo Feng. “Think carefully about what you should do.”
“Mm,” Luo Feng nodded solemnly.
“Of course, there’s no need to panic excessively. The Void-Zhen Demon Sovereign is a Cosmic Overlord—what status he holds! The cost of employing him is no trivial matter. Since he has already acted once and failed… the Void-Zhen Demon Sovereign will certainly not attempt a second assassination within the Ancestral God Sect. As for hiring another Cosmic Overlord… well, that won’t be an easy task. I doubt even the Insect Race, the Machine Race, and the Beast Clans would be willing to pay such a price. After all, if they fail once, they won’t want to squander supreme treasures by failing a second time,” the Dual-Faced Ancestral God chuckled. “Think carefully about what you ought to do. I’m returning to the Ancestral God Palace now.”
With that, the Dual-Faced Ancestral God turned and departed without hesitation.
In just three steps, his figure blurred and completely vanished.
“Returning to the Ancestral God Palace?” Luo Feng nodded to himself. What status the Ancestral God held! To have assisted him once from the shadows was already an immense favor. There was no way he could remain as his bodyguard indefinitely.
“First, return to my divine kingdom.”
Luo Feng turned and directly walked into his mansion’s hall.
…
Leaving the Crape Myrtle Island, he used divine kingdom teleportation back to his divine kingdom.
The Endless Sea was perpetually attuning itself to the ‘cosmic essence,’ ceaselessly absorbing divine power to sustain its transformation. After all, when he first ascended from an immortal to a Cosmic Venerable, only one-eighth of his volume—a region spanning a billion kilometers in diameter—had completed the metamorphosis… Now, he was steadily progressing toward further refinement.
“Star Tower.” Luo Feng, clad in silver armor with silver wings, stood on the sea surface. In the distance, a golden-horned giant beast flew over, transforming into the head of a million-kilometer-long golden-horned giant beast, supporting a massive Star Tower. The Star Tower itself had grown to be ten thousand kilometers long.
Over these years, the golden-horned giant beast had been studying the secret engravings on the Star Tower.
The secret engravings on the Star Tower were incredibly profound and complex, layer upon layer, like mountains shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see through completely! Luo Feng was now like that too. He could vaguely distinguish three layers of engravings, having fully comprehended only the first, shallowest layer. Of course, he was close to understanding the second layer.
“Come,” Luo Feng extended his hand.
Whoosh!
The Star Tower immediately flew over, shrinking as it approached. When it landed in Luo Feng’s palm, it was only the size of a walnut.
“Guard my soul,” Luo Feng willed, and the Star Tower instantly entered his divine body, hovering directly at the center of his chest. The ‘Tower Pearl,’ which had previously existed separately, naturally flew back into the Star Tower, fully reuniting with it.
Just the Tower Pearl alone could guard the soul.
The supreme treasure, the Star Tower… in guarding the soul, it was unimaginably powerful.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~” Countless threads of divine power radiated out from the ‘Star Tower’ like a network, quickly spreading throughout Luo Feng’s entire body. Every life imprint within his divine power was completely protected together, prompting Luo Feng to sigh involuntarily at its immense power.
The Tower Pearl guarding the soul was like a huge rock pressing down.
The Star Tower guarding the soul was like a towering mountain suppressing it, a stability far greater than before.
“Truly a supreme treasure,” Luo Feng thought joyfully. No wonder it was said that a single supreme treasure could serve as the treasure of a clan or sect… even among the Cosmic Overlords, many didn’t possess such treasures.
“Although the first attempt by a Cosmic Overlord to kill me failed, and the chance of a second attempt is low, I still can’t be careless,” Luo Feng immediately connected his consciousness to the virtual universe. “Back then, I tried to look up information on the Cosmic Overlords but couldn’t find anything. Now that my status has been recognized as a top-tier Cosmic Sovereign… my permissions should have increased.”
…
In the virtual universe, on Thunder Island, at Luo Feng’s residence.
In a quiet hall.
Through the window, one could overlook the endless Thunder Island below. Luo Feng was sitting at a desk, looking at his laptop screen.
“Indeed, my permissions have been upgraded,” Luo Feng saw and immediately smiled.
Previously, Luo Feng possessed the authority of a mid-level Cosmic Master.
Now, he had the permissions of a Seven-Star Cosmic Sovereign.
“Master,” the voice of the virtual universe assistant Babata sounded, although this was only an auxiliary intelligence of Babata. The real Babata was quietly cultivating on Earth. With the resources provided by Luo Feng, Babata had long since ascended to immortality, but even as an immortal, he couldn’t participate in battles at Luo Feng’s level.
Thus, he remained on Earth.
However, Babata had provided some assistance with many matters concerning the Luo family.
“Query information on Cosmic Sovereigns and Cosmic Overlords,” Luo Feng ordered.
“Yes.”
Whoosh!
Instantly, a stream of information appeared on the screen. Luo Feng immediately clicked on the first entry… usually, the first one contained the most information.
“The Seven-Star Cosmic Sovereign permissions really are different… It seems some of the highest secrets are now accessible to me,” Luo Feng saw the vast amount of information and immediately praised with a smile, then began reading.
…
Countless lives in the universe were born from the universe itself, like its children, loved and cherished by the universe.
Special lives were born with eternal life.
Ordinary lives had to reach immortality to obtain eternal life; otherwise, they would perish once their lifespan limit was reached, generation after generation growing and perishing, from which a few immortals would emerge.
Below immortality… there was no need to discuss further.
An immortal merely comprehended one of the most basic laws and, with the help of the sea of laws, transformed directly into a divine body, thus gaining eternal life.
A Cosmic Venerable who had comprehended either the spatial law or the temporal law possessed a more formidable divine body and a deeper mastery of the laws.
A Cosmic Sovereign comprehended both space and time or one of the fused laws such as metal-space, wood-space, or time-wind… Only by reaching this level could one truly become a Cosmic Sovereign. Once attaining the status of a Cosmic Sovereign… even a beast god like the Metal-Space Beast God could control space and time.
This was the universe’s gift!
Through the three realms of immortality, the Cosmic Venerable One, and the Cosmic Sovereign… the essence of the cosmos never ceased to bestow blessings! Blessing upon blessing!
Infinite divine power!
By chance, the gift of innate secret techniques!
The gift of complete control over space and time, the gift of the possibility to ‘reverse time and resurrect’!
Even after becoming a Cosmic Sovereign… the cosmic essence still treated them like children, always bestowing and nurturing! And the cultivation process would never be deliberately disturbed or disrupted. However, from a Cosmic Sovereign aspiring to become a Cosmic Overlord… there was no clear path at all!
Once a Cosmic Overlord was born, the path he had taken would be sealed off!
Other experts could not walk the same path to become a Cosmic Overlord.
Secondly…
Even after enduring countless hardships, with great wisdom, fortune, and perseverance, finally breaking through the last bottleneck and taking that final step! Once becoming an invincible ‘Cosmic Overlord,’ they could manipulate the laws and rules themselves. Their strength was so immense that they could make their words become law!
At this point, however, they would instead face suppression and constraints from the universe.
From a weakling all the way to a Cosmic Sovereign, the universe had always been benevolent throughout the long cultivation journey.
But the Cosmic Overlords were instead restrained and suppressed!
Their strength was suppressed, allowing them to display only slightly more power than the strongest Cosmic Sovereign! Although they could only display such strength, they were indeed extremely powerful themselves, so even reversing time and space to resurrect a Cosmic Sovereign… was extremely easy for them.
Moreover—
Once a Cosmic Overlord slays a Cosmic Sovereign or a Cosmic Venerable, they must understand that Cosmic Venerables and Cosmic Sovereigns are all under the protection of the cosmic essence! If they truly kill them… the Cosmic Overlords will face retribution from the cosmic essence! The more powerful the victim, the more severe the punishment will be.
For example, killing a Cosmic Sovereign, the punishment was nothing to a Cosmic Overlord.
But killing a Cosmic Sovereign would bring a much heavier punishment.
Of course, for some like Jiuyou Sovereign and Hunyuan City Lord… some Cosmic Overlords, even if they tried their best and were willing to endure punishment, still didn’t have the ability to kill them. Because the strength they could display was always limited.
“It’s actually like this,” Luo Feng looked astonished. “The universe nurtures all things, naturally showing favor to all… It seems that once one becomes a Cosmic Overlord, their identity changes, and they instead face resistance, oppression, and constraints from the universe? Even killing a Cosmic Venerable or Cosmic Sovereign brings punishment…”
“How strange.”
“Originally born from the endless primordial universe, always cherished and protected. But once becoming a Cosmic Overlord, one is suppressed? And each Cosmic Overlord must find a different path to breakthrough?” Luo Feng realized that the Cosmic Overlords must hold even greater secrets, secrets significant enough for the primordial universe to suppress them. At least these secrets… even with his Seven-Star Sovereign permissions, he wasn’t qualified to see yet.
