Chapter 1247: The Sermon

What kind of person Luo Feng is? The Chaos City Lord and the Axe Creator know him very well—they’ve witnessed his growth. When Luo Feng was first recruited into the Virtual Universe Company, he wouldn’t erupt unless he was ready, but once he did erupt, it would always be shocking.

After becoming the Chaos City Lord’s disciple, Luo Feng even disappeared from the public eye for a long time, so much so that rumors spread that he might have died.

Luo Feng’s growth path clearly reveals his personality and working style. The Chaos City Lord and the Axe Creator know very well that Luo Feng never acts recklessly—he only takes action when he has thorough preparation and confidence. If he dares to speak confidently, he will definitely succeed!

“Everything is in your heart?” The Axe Creator laughed heartily. “Everything? That’s quite a bold claim! Still, hearing this makes me really happy.”

“From Immortal to the peak of the Universe’s strongest,” the Chaos City Lord couldn’t help but ask, “then do you know how to pass through samsara?” Beside him, the Axe Creator’s eyes also sharpened as he stared at Luo Feng.

Passing through samsara… even the Axe Creator feels apprehensive, uncertain, and lacks confidence.

Luo Feng was momentarily stunned.

Passing through samsara?

He really didn’t know.

Luo Feng’s expression turned serious. “The inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage is extremely vast. However, due to the influence of the Original Universe’s will, I can only access countless inheritance messages up until the peak of the Universe’s strongest. Beyond that—passing through samsara becomes necessary to escape the influence of the Original Universe’s will.”

“The Original Will?” The Axe Creator and the Chaos City Lord exchanged glances. Others might not understand, but they had the most contact with the Original Ancestor. After the Original Ancestor was sealed, he usually communicated with the human race through them, so they had also heard about the Original Will from him.

Whoosh~~~

On either side of the long stone table, there were rows of stone chairs. Luo Feng, the Axe Creator, and the Chaos City Lord were sitting there. Suddenly, opposite the Axe Creator’s seat, on a stone chair that had been vacant, a figure in white robes appeared—it was the Original Ancestor. However, Luo Feng, the Axe Creator, and the Chaos City Lord didn’t notice his presence.

“The Original Will?” The white-robed Original Ancestor frowned slightly as he listened from the side.

“However, I do know how a Universe’s strongest cultivates further and reaches the peak of the Universe’s strongest,” Luo Feng said. “Based on this peak, if one breaks through to a new level—”

“Breaking through to a new level will definitely allow one to pass through samsara,” the Axe Creator directly stated.

“Huh!” Luo Feng looked at the Axe Creator in astonishment. He himself had only guessed this, as the inheritance contained absolutely no information regarding ‘samsara,’ nor anything beyond the peak of the Universe’s strongest. He hadn’t expected the Axe Creator to be so confident in stating it.

The Chaos City Lord also looked at the Axe Creator in surprise.

The Axe Creator glanced at Luo Feng and the Chaos City Lord. “It’s simple. When you two break through and become Universe’s strongest, you’ll understand why I know this. In short—completely surpassing the level of the Universe’s strongest and reaching a higher level will definitely allow one to pass through samsara. If one fails to reach that level but still takes a gamble, there’s also a chance of transcending samsara. As for the probability? Look at how many Universe’s strongest have perished across countless samsara cycles, and you’ll understand how slim the chances are.”

“Mm.” Luo Feng and the Chaos City Lord nodded slightly.

Across countless samsara cycles—there have been at least ten thousand cycles. In each cycle, there were at least dozens of Universe’s strongest… How many Universe’s strongest have existed throughout the long river of time in the Cosmic Sea? It’s hard to say.

But the number of successful ones is clear—only two: the Purple Moon Ancestor and the Dong Bi Ancestor!

As for whether these two ancestors managed to break through and surpass the level of the Universe’s strongest, successfully transcending the cycle of reincarnation, or if they merely reached the pinnacle of the Universe’s strongest and took a gamble, barely succeeding—no one knows for certain.

“So, how does a Cosmic Sovereign become a Universe’s strongest?” The Chaos City Lord asked further, as this concerned himself.

“To break through, each Cosmic Sovereign must take a different path. Does the inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage provide guidance?” The Axe Creator also asked.

“Yes!”

Luo Feng nodded. “In the ancient civilization, there were countless powerful beings. Becoming a Universe’s strongest was a great threshold, but because there were so many who broke through, there was systematic understanding and much experience to draw upon, maximizing the probability of breaking through. When this samsara cycle ends, our human race might have four or five Universe’s strongest. But if we have guidance—it could multiply several times.”

The Divine Eye Clan once produced seven!

Humans have only had two so far (and the Original Ancestor was sealed), so having four or five would already be quite good.

“Several times more?” The Axe Creator and the Chaos City Lord were shocked.

“So, does that mean nearly every Cosmic Sovereign becomes a Universe’s strongest?” The Chaos City Lord asked further—there are only 19 Cosmic Sovereigns in the human race.

“No,” Luo Feng shook his head. “That’s not what I mean. The transition from Cosmic Sovereign to Universe’s strongest is an extremely formidable threshold. Even with guidance from the ancient civilization, although the probability of breaking through is maximized, it’s still very difficult.”

“What I mean is, from Immortal to Universe’s strongest, there is an entire cultivation system,” Luo Feng explained. “For example, currently, the human race has only thousands of Cosmic Monarchs and nearly 20 Cosmic Sovereigns. But under a more complete system, the human race might have had over 100,000 Cosmic Monarchs and hundreds of Cosmic Sovereigns! Of course, this cultivation method allows some with slightly lower talent, who originally could only become Cosmic Monarchs, to become Cosmic Sovereigns.”

“Therefore, among these hundreds of Cosmic Sovereigns, their average talent is lower than the current nearly 20 Cosmic Sovereigns of the human race.”

“Hundreds of Cosmic Sovereigns might give rise to dozens of Universe’s strongest,” Luo Feng said. “With luck, it could even be close to a hundred.”

Silence.

The Chaos City Lord and the Axe Creator fell silent. They were stunned. It was too incredible! How many Universe’s strongest were there in a single samsara cycle? Like in the First Samsara Cycle and the Second Samsara Cycle, each had only about 30.

Could the human race in the future surpass even a single samsara cycle?

“This…” the Chaos City Lord opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

“Do you have confidence?” The Axe Creator’s eyes were shining.

Luo Feng nodded. “Of course! Becoming a Universe’s strongest is merely one step along the path of power. As our human race grows stronger, expands its territory in the Original Universe, and cultivates more talents, it’s very likely that we will have nearly a hundred Universe’s strongest.”

“Good,” the Axe Creator said directly. “Then guide us a bit, let’s see just how powerful this ancient civilization really is.”

“Alright,” Luo Feng was confident and naturally self-assured.

The Axe Creator nodded. “I’ll arrange for them to come over.”

Above this floating land in the endless void, beside the long stone table in front of the Axe Creator’s temple, figures began to appear one by one.

“Why did you summon us in such a hurry, Axe Creator?” Master Penggong smiled as he arrived, followed by other Cosmic Sovereigns: Master Dark, Master Void Gold, Master Qingdong, Master Huangjian, Master Penggong, Master Longxing, and Master Bingfeng.

Together with the Chaos City Lord, there were only eight Cosmic Sovereigns in total.

As soon as they arrived, they noticed Luo Feng. Each of them immediately felt excited and hopeful because they knew Luo Feng had received the inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage from the ancient civilization. His appearance now must be related to that inheritance.

“Luo Feng has already accepted the inheritance of the Dandonghe lineage,” the Axe Creator scanned his eyes over the gathered Cosmic Sovereigns. “Chaos, Dark, and Penggong have great hopes of becoming Universe’s strongest. Void Gold, Longxing, Huangjian, Qingdong, and Bingfeng, you five also have considerable hopes. Listen together… listen to Luo Feng explain how to break through from Cosmic Sovereign to Universe’s strongest!”

Whoosh!

The Chaos City Lord remained calm and smiled slightly, but the other seven were shocked and excited. Breaking through from Cosmic Sovereign to Universe’s strongest? There was absolutely no precedent for this—each one must take a different path, which had long troubled them greatly. Moreover, the breakthrough must happen during the Original Universe era. Once this samsara cycle ends and they enter their own small universes, they will have no further chance to break through. How could they not be anxious?

“Does Luo Feng have confidence?” Master Qingdong was the first to call out.

“Galaxy, can I become the Universe’s strongest?” Master Penggong asked directly.

Luo Feng responded swiftly, “The few of you here are the most outstanding talents among our human race. Without systematic guidance, you’ve still managed to reach this level—each of you is exceptional. With the guidance of the ancient civilization, naturally, the few of you hold the greatest hope of becoming the strongest in the universe. As for who exactly can achieve a breakthrough, I can’t guarantee it directly, but… after hearing what I have to say, you’ll all understand in your hearts.”

“Don’t ask questions anymore, just listen to Luo Feng speak,” the Axe Creator commanded.

The Cosmic Sovereigns, who had longed for this moment over endless eons, sat there, suppressing their anxiety and doubts, and fixed their gaze on Luo Feng, listening intently. Meanwhile, the Original Ancestor in his white robe also began to listen.

Luo Feng’s gaze swept across the audience. “From Cosmic Sovereign to Universe’s strongest! Each must take a different path, but in reality, they can be categorized into two major types!”

Everyone present held their breath and listened carefully.

“The first type starts from divine power!”

“The second type starts from laws!” Luo Feng spoke confidently.

Upon hearing this, the Axe Creator immediately looked puzzled and asked, “Starting from laws… according to what I know, every Universe’s strongest has taken this path. Like the leader of the Starry Sky Giant Beast Alliance, who combined eight beast god laws! Others mostly focused on space-time…”

Luo Feng smiled.

“Starting from laws, nearly ninety percent or more of the Universe’s strongest have taken this path,” Luo Feng explained. “Starting from divine power… what exactly is divine power? Divine power constitutes the body! Divine power contains the life imprint and also forms the life core!”

“Just like humans have souls, some races don’t have souls but still possess a life core. In short, any Cosmic Sovereign can transform into infinite divine power!”

Everyone listened silently.

“What is the foundation for becoming a Universe’s strongest?”

“It is to break through!”

“Break through limitations!”

“Break through all restraints!”

“Break through all shackles and enter a new realm!” Luo Feng said solemnly. “For example, starting from laws means breaking through in the aspect of laws, allowing the divine country to overcome bottlenecks. Once the divine country breaks through the bottleneck, it naturally begins to transform and evolve into a small universe.”

“Starting from divine power, the perfect genetic potential of a Cosmic Sovereign is 10,081 times! This is a limit. Starting from divine power means breaking through this limit! Elevating divine power to a new level!” Luo Feng emphasized. “Once divine power evolves, both the body and soul evolve, which is breaking through shackles with sheer power! Once you break through, your capacity for divine country naturally increases, allowing the divine country to overcome bottlenecks and begin evolving into a small universe.”

Everyone present listened in silence.

Across the Cosmic Sea, all races are like blind men crossing a river, because the numbers are too scarce to allow systematic research. There has never been a true supreme expert standing at a high level to integrate and summarize everything comprehensively.

“Only by breaking through shackles can one control one’s own destiny. From then on, laws will yield, and words will bring laws into effect!” Luo Feng said. “Starting from divine power is extremely difficult, while starting from laws is relatively easier. Let me first explain how to start from laws and exactly what needs to be done!”
