Chapter 1314: Ancestor God’s Summoning

Moments later.

“I clearly know the virtual universe ID of Master Huyanbo,” Luo Feng smiled. “As long as you, Master Huyanbo, connect to the virtual universe, you will see my ID added to your contact list and you can reach me anytime… I know you and Babata must have much to catch up on after such a long time apart. I won’t disturb you further, Master Huyanbo.”

With that, he turned and vanished into thin air.

As Luo Feng departed, Huyanbo and his nine soul servants finally exhaled in relief.

“Boss, Master Luo Feng is grateful in his heart toward you. Although you perished back then, you still provided guidance and left behind a legacy. There’s no need to be so tense; we could have had a normal conversation… Look at you all, acting so frightened. It’s impossible to even communicate properly like this,” Babata said helplessly.

“Easier said than done—we all understand that,” growled the massive, immortal gorilla-like figure. “Babata, that was the Monarch of the Universe! To us… the Sovereign of the Qianwu Kingdom is already an ancient, invincible existence high above us all. As for the legendary Monarch of the Universe, he is the absolute peak of all humanity. Although we understand that Boss has some favor with this Lord of the Milky Way, we have never met him ourselves, and he is such a mighty figure… who wouldn’t be afraid? One glare from him could kill us all.”

Huyanbo exhaled deeply and patted Babata’s head. “Babata, you fought alongside him in life-and-death battles. You were with him when he was weak and grew alongside him, so you feel more at ease. But we have never interacted with him directly—we should remain respectful. Even if I have done him a favor, if I were to act presumptuously because of it and upset him… that would be disastrous.”

The others around him all nodded in agreement.

On Earth, there is an old saying: “Serving beside a king is like serving beside a tiger.” Even with past favors, one must still tread carefully before someone with absolute power and status.

Compared to an emperor of a single planet, a ‘Monarch of the Universe’ who can effortlessly destroy billions of planets and reverse time to resurrect countless lives, ordinary immortal beings would tremble and quake in fear before such a being. The vast majority of immortals would never even have the chance to meet a Monarch of the Universe in their entire lives.

“Yeah,” Babata nodded. “I understand what you’re saying, Boss. Even I feel tense around Master Luo Feng, even though he holds back his pressure and acts like he always did. Still, I can’t help but feel uneasy. I used to casually call him Luo Feng, but now I instinctively hold back.”

“This is the aura of power,” Huyanbo smiled. “Even without actively displaying their might, their very status naturally commands reverence and awe. Those without such reverence… simply won’t survive long. I never imagined that my simple desire to ensure my legacy wouldn’t be broken would lead to the rise of such an extraordinary figure.”

The yellow-skinned man standing behind Huyanbo, who appeared somewhat cold, spoke up. “Babata, you’ll have to tell us the full story of this Lord of the Milky Way.”

During their earlier meeting, Luo Feng naturally felt grateful and wanted to engage in a good conversation. Babata had briefly recounted some events, helping Huyanbo and the others understand the connection between ‘Luo Feng’ and themselves. However, after Babata’s recounting, Huyanbo and the others became extremely nervous. Luo Feng tried to chat for a while but eventually ran out of things to say. Seeing how tense they were, he decided to leave early.

Huyanbo and his nine soul servants were deeply curious inside—

In less than 200,000 years,

From an Earth native, climbing step by difficult step until becoming one of the absolute peaks of all humanity. Huyanbo and his group felt proud to have played a small part in this journey. They also understood—clinging to such a powerful figure, as long as one wasn’t a fool, would surely guarantee a bright future.

“I know all about Master Luo Feng’s story before he became immortal. But after that, as his power grew, my knowledge became more limited,” Babata quickly replied. “However, even what I do know is incredibly exciting. I can tell you that Master Luo Feng is a truly extraordinary individual with an unparalleled will and character. I’ll start by telling you about Earth’s several great crises, then move on to the Genius War…”

Milky Way Galaxy.

In the tranquil void, Luo Feng walked leisurely.

The higher one rises, the lonelier it becomes. Except for his closest family—his wife, children, and parents—who would never feel any distance due to his status, even old friends, including those who had fought alongside him in life-and-death battles, such as Ronjun and others, and even Hong and Thunder, would feel some distance.

Conversely, Wei Wen, who had grown up with Luo Feng and had no knowledge of the upper echelons of human society, could still interact with him freely.

“I still make them feel distant even when I suppress my aura. If I were to fully unleash it, even Cosmic-level Sovereigns would tremble and dare not look directly at me,” Luo Feng thought with a touch of melancholy as he recalled many friends from different stages of his life while reviving Huyanbo and his subordinates.

The early days when he first became a warrior—the Huo Chui Squad!

The companions who perished alongside the Devourer Beasts… he had survived by a miracle after taking over their bodies, but the others had all fallen.

Could they be resurrected?

No.

Even as the supreme Monarch of the Universe, capable of reversing time and space, he could not bring back those companions. Even the heroes who had perished alongside the Devourer Beasts were only at the Stellar level. The Stellar-level life span is limited to a thousand years. If he were to resurrect them, he could indeed locate them in their time period, but during the time reversal, although he could bear the punishment himself, the passage of time would still affect them directly.

Immortals could easily withstand the passage of time.

But his old companions, under the effects of time’s passage, would first see their physical bodies rapidly weaken and decay. Without the protection of their bodies, their souls would quickly dissipate into nothingness… during the time reversal process, Luo Feng would be powerless to help them.

This was one of the limitations of reversing time to resurrect someone.

Time reversal resurrection was not omnipotent—it had several exceptions.

With a sigh, Luo Feng flew toward the distant palace complex ahead. That was the sacred site of the Milky Way Galaxy, and also his own palace.

Returning to the Milky Way, Luo Feng first transformed the space and time around his lair. By manipulating space-time, he created a completely independent pocket dimension. Thus, even ordinary spacecraft passing through the area would be unable to enter this isolated realm.

Then,

Luo Feng began his first true period of deep cultivation since becoming a Monarch of the Universe!

The lair of Luo Feng in the Milky Way had become especially famous after the unprecedented battle in which nearly every expert from the entire primordial universe participated. As a result, many alien races outside the Milky Way referred to Luo Feng’s lair as the ‘Sacred Land of the Milky Way’ or the ‘Demonic Stronghold of the Milky Way.’

In short, it was Luo Feng’s domain. Even such a massive army was unable to defeat Luo Feng, so naturally, no one dared to trespass into the Sacred Land of the Milky Way.

Within the Sacred Land of the Milky Way, a tomb barge hundreds of thousands of kilometers long drifted slowly in the void.

Inside the barge’s inheritance space, Luo Feng was deep in cultivation within the training chamber.

“Ever since I created my blade techniques and received the inheritance, my blade techniques have seen no further innovation,” Luo Feng mused, as a tower of stars hovered above his palm. “As for the Star Tower, I can currently only activate the third layer of secret patterns. The depth of the third layer is on par with my blade technique ‘Nirvana Rebirth.'”

Normally, activating secret patterns should be easier than creating one’s own secret techniques!

Experts like the Sovereign Penggong, Sovereign Darkness, and Sovereign Star River had never created secret techniques at the level of the strongest cosmic beings, yet they could still activate secret patterns at that level! Luo Feng’s created blade techniques… naturally meant he should be able to activate even higher layers of secret patterns.

“The Star Tower is the most mysterious treasure in my possession,” Luo Feng mused. “The Tomb Barge and the Shiwu Wings are mechanical in nature, their purposes and power levels are clearly understood. As for the ‘Blood Shadow Blade,’ it’s merely a core, requiring me to create all the secret techniques myself. Only the Star Tower… remains a mystery!”

Before the great battle, Luo Feng had only been puzzled by the Star Tower’s absurdly high difficulty in establishing a master-servant bond due to its resistance. However, due to his limited power at the time, he had never noticed any special properties of the Star Tower during combat.

But during this battle… Luo Feng discovered the Star Tower’s first unique advantage—”Its soul-stabilizing power is clearly one level higher than that of other soul-stabilizing supreme treasures!”

“I’ll need to study it carefully.”

Luo Feng immediately focused his mind on deciphering its secrets.

This training space allowed for a ten-thousand-fold time acceleration, maximizing the efficiency of time… Since becoming a Monarch of the Universe, Luo Feng had finally begun comprehensively enhancing his strength, striving to bring every aspect of his power to the highest level possible at this stage.

Centuries had passed in the blink of an eye, and even longer within the training chamber.

After a prolonged period of cultivation, Luo Feng opened his eyes and slightly furrowed his brow: “The Ancestral God Religion is summoning me?” He flipped his hand and retrieved a token—it was the one given to him by the Ancestral God himself after he became an outer member of the Ancestral God Religion.

“Go see the Ancestral God?”

Luo Feng was puzzled.

If he were still of ordinary strength, being summoned around by the Zu Shen Jiao wouldn’t be surprising. But now, with his status and the power he had displayed in the previous battle, unless there was a special situation… the Zu Shen Jiao would never dare to summon him lightly. And if they truly needed something from him, they should have sent an envoy instead of summoning him directly.

“I’ve spoken with the three Zu Shens of the Zu Shen Jiao after the battle. None of them are arrogant.”

“If they are summoning me… there must be a reason,” Luo Feng thought.

At his level, standing at the peak of the entire primordial universe, mutual respect was a necessity among powerful beings!

“Whoosh!”

Luo Feng vanished into thin air.

At the Ancestral Divine Sect’s Ancestral Divine Realm, the Purple Jing Island.

Luo Feng’s former residence still stood. With a hazy glow, a figure clad in silver emerged—Luo Feng himself.

“It’s been a long time since I last visited Zijing Island,” Luo Feng glanced around.

“Luo Feng!” A voice echoed directly into Luo Feng’s ear. “Come to my place. I have something important regarding humanity to tell you.”
