Silence.
In every city of the Earth’s bases, countless people fell silent.
In the Paris Base City, within the European Union territory.
A procession of protesters raised their heads, filled with anticipation, gazing at the screen. Yes, they were indeed protesting against the upper echelons who had abandoned them. They demanded that Earth’s leadership choose to cooperate with the ‘Nolan Mountain Family’ from outer space. But why? Because Earth had no ability to resist the Nolan Mountain Family!
No one wanted to be a slave or servant, unless they were psychologically deranged!
This group of protesters didn’t want to be slaves either. If they could refuse to submit to the Nolan Mountain Family and still gain freedom and life, of course they would choose that.
“Lo Feng!”
“It’s actually Lo Feng. Watching this video, it seems that this alien ‘Nolan Mountain Family’ also belongs to the Heilongshan Empire.”
“This Heilongshan Empire, is it a nation in the universe?”
“Lo Feng is from Earth. How did he become the planetary lord of a cosmic nation? Or is he the lord of our Earth?”
“Who knows.”
In terms of intelligence, Earthlings were not stupid.
From Lo Feng’s global broadcast speech, they could easily deduce… the Heilongshan Empire was a powerful cosmic nation, many, many times stronger than the seemingly invincible Nolan Mountain Family. And their pride, Lo Feng, had become the planetary lord of the Heilongshan Empire.
Joy!
If Earth was to integrate into the cosmos and needed a planetary lord, of course Earthlings would prefer someone from their own planet to take the position! Moreover, Lo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God had long been mythologized. Any one of the three taking the position of Earth’s planetary lord would not provoke much resistance from the Earth’s population.
“I wonder if Lo Feng’s words will have any effect.”
“No one knows whether the Nolan Mountain Family will retreat or not.”
People were worried…
…
On Earth’s six major survival bases.
“Does Lo Feng’s status as a planetary lord really mean anything?”
“Interstellar nations cannot be exactly the same as our Earth… hard to say!”
“Just wait and see, the results will come soon.”
…
On Earth, whether it was the billions of common people or the Earth’s upper echelons, all were waiting, watching for the reaction of the Nolan Mountain Family.
…
The spaceship carrying Lo Feng and others was still rapidly advancing through the dark universe.
In the virtual universe, the Heilongshan Island.
In the private dining room.
Lo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God were all watching the screen floating in front of them, maintaining a call with Xu Xin.
“Xu Xin, how is it going?” Lo Feng quickly asked, “What’s the reaction of the Nolan Mountain Family? Have they retreated?”
“Satellite surveillance shows the two warships are still hovering over the Pacific, not moving,” Xu Xin was also anxious, “Perhaps the Nolan Mountain Family is also discussing.”
“Not moving?”
Lo Feng frowned.
“They dare not not leave,” Thunder God beside him, his eyes gleaming, said, “If they don’t leave, we can record their actions and send them to the Empire headquarters, which can directly classify them as ‘star pirates’. The Heilongshan Empire is a very strong mid-level cosmic civilization! They definitely won’t allow such a family to go unpunished!”
“If it were a super family, it would be hard to say.”
“But for the Nolan Mountain Family, compared to the Yinlan Empire and other empires, they are a tough nut to crack. But for the Heilongshan Empire, they are just ants!” Thunder God said confidently.
These words also caused Hong and Lo Feng to slightly nod.
“Talking more won’t help,” Lo Feng frowned, “Let’s see what choice they will make!”
Lo Feng and the three maintained contact with Earth, silently waiting… for news from the other side!
…
Above the Earth’s Pacific.
Two giant interstellar warships hovered in the air. In one of the warships, in the control room, eight direct disciples stood there, the atmosphere extremely oppressive.
The previous ‘shock and joy’ of discovering the strange giant sphere had long been cast aside. Now, they were all filled with worry.
“Earth’s lord?”
“This Earth actually has a lord now?”
“What should we do now?”
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Everyone knew that if the Nolan Mountain Family did not evacuate Earth, it would be a serious crime! Earth having a lord meant Earth was someone else’s private property and territory! Invading the territory and even looting freely on the territory was absolutely not allowed by the Empire’s constitution and would be directly classified as ‘star pirates’.
Star pirates, also known as space bandits. They were very much disliked by the great empires and were definitely to be killed without hesitation!
“Follow me to see the clan leader,” Pula said in a low voice.
“Yes.”
The other seven responded.
Such a matter could only be decided by the clan leader.
…
Only half a minute later.
In the virtual universe, on the Heilongshan Island.
In a luxurious residential hall, the eight direct disciples stood in a line. Before them, a screen floated into view, displaying two people, the current clan leader ‘Yuke·Nolan Mountain’ and the former clan leader ‘Dewen·Nolan Mountain’.
“Master, former clan leader, this is the video previously publicly broadcasted on Earth,” Pula respectfully said.
Immediately, the video began to play.
When they saw the Earth ownership certificate granted by the Heilongshan Empire, the faces of the two clan leaders became very grim.
Especially in the video, Lo Feng also read out the Empire’s constitution, which made them even angrier.
“Disappear from my territory immediately! Otherwise, your Nolan Mountain Family will be attacked by the Heilongshan Empire’s army as ‘star pirates’!” The last sentence of the video left the two clan leaders momentarily at a loss, as if Earth’s great treasure had suddenly become someone else’s territory!
“Earth is Lo Feng’s territory?” Yuke·Nolan Mountain couldn’t believe it.
“Yes, master. I just checked, the records on the Empire side indeed show that Lo Feng should have become Earth’s planetary lord today,” Pula added respectfully.
“Damn it!”
Yuke·Nolan Mountain was so angry he gritted his teeth.
“Who is this Lo Feng? Which family does he belong to?” The former clan leader frowned in dissatisfaction.
“He is one of the three top experts among the Earthlings, and now should be at the ninth stage of the Star Level, I suppose,” Pula respectfully replied.
“What, an Earthling?”
The former clan leader’s eyes widened.
An Earthling?
A ‘native’ from a primitive planet, suddenly becoming the planetary lord of Earth? You must know that purchasing a planet, even for the discoverer who could buy it at a discounted price. But for a planet like Earth, which was the highest-grade life planet, the price would be three trillion Heilong coins!
Definitely not something an ordinary person could afford, so he asked which family he belonged to!
“Yes, he is an Earthling,” Pula nodded, “Probably he obtained some treasure on Earth and sold it to earn money.”
“Earth treasure?”
The two clan leaders thought of that mechanical clan’s spaceship and felt heartache! That was a spaceship of the mechanical clan, at least level D. It was more expensive than the entire Nolan Mountain Family’s assets! To open and conquer this spaceship, judging from the entrance attack, it would at least require a cosmic-level fifth or sixth stage expert.
“Master, what should we do? Should we withdraw or not?” Pula anxiously asked.
“Former clan leader, should we withdraw or not?” the other direct disciples also anxiously asked.
“We don’t have much time to hesitate. Staying on Earth for a long time will also be judged as ‘star pirates’,” Pula anxiously said.
Clan leader Yuke·Nolan Mountain was so angry he gritted his teeth: “Damn! That Lo Feng, I will kill him!”
“Retreat!” the former clan leader’s face was grim, he growled lowly.
The eight direct disciples were stunned.
“Former clan leader!!!” Yuke·Nolan Mountain looked at the former clan leader in astonishment, “Are we really giving up like this?”
The former clan leader rebuked angrily: “Yuke, have you gone mad? What else can we do? Even if that mechanical clan’s spaceship is expensive, once we are classified as ‘star pirates’, the Heilongshan Empire’s army can destroy our Nolan Mountain Family effortlessly. Do you want the entire family to perish for the sake of Earth’s treasure?”
“We, we…” Yuke·Nolan Mountain hesitated.
“Yes, we could escape. But the entire Nolan Mountain Family was painstakingly created by our ancestor. Do you want to let our ancestor’s efforts go to waste?” the former clan leader rebuked angrily.
Yuke·Nolan Mountain fell silent.
Indeed.
Back then, the ancestor, the founder of the family ‘Nolan Mountain’, had created the family alone. He used his name as the family surname, and after tens of thousands of years of development and growth, the family had become prosperous as it was now.
“Retreat!” the former clan leader ordered, and Yuke·Nolan Mountain sighed.
Pula and the other eight direct disciples looked at the two clan leaders, then respectfully complied: “Yes!”
…
On Earth, with the orders from Pula and the other eight disciples, the members of the Nolan Mountain Family scattered across Earth quickly gathered toward the two fleets. Since they were retreating, the Nolan Mountain Family naturally wouldn’t hide it, but instead actively displayed it, so that the ‘planetary lord of Earth’ would have no excuse to sue at the cosmic empire court.
Six survival bases.
Through satellites, Earth’s upper echelons clearly saw that the members of the Nolan Mountain Family were rapidly gathering toward the fleets.
“Ha ha, they retreated.”
“They really retreated!”
“They are gathering their people.”
“They are all entering the warships.”
“We won!”
“We won!”
“Victory!”
The Earth’s upper echelons, overwhelmed with excitement, shouted joyfully! The news quickly spread through Xu Xin to Lo Feng and the other three, who were extremely far away in the dark universe.
…
Lo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God watched the video showing the members of the Nolan Mountain Family gathering from all directions and entering the warships.
“It looks like they are really retreating,” Thunder God’s eyes gleamed.
“Don’t be hasty,” Hong stared at the screen, “Say that after the fleet leaves Earth.”
“We are going to succeed,” Lo Feng also held his breath and waited.
Waiting for the moment when the two warships would take off and leave Earth!
…
“Boom~~”
Under the tracking and filming of many Earth satellites, the two giant interstellar warships finally began to accelerate, flying upward, quickly entering the atmosphere.
This scene was directly broadcast to every household’s television and computer screen in every country and every base city on Earth.
“Let us hold our breath through this day, let us feel terror and despair! We were already desperate, thinking that in the future all of us would be ruled by the ‘Nolan Mountain Family’ from outer space. But when that huge three-dimensional virtual projection appeared in the sky and we saw that figure… I thought of the time when he fearlessly went down to the sea to fight the Devouring Beast. Yes! I was conquered by him. He is a hero! Yes, a hero!!!”, the TV host couldn’t control his tears as they streamed down.
Every TV station, every country, played the same videos, but told the story in their own languages.
“Victory!”
“Freedom!”
“We won.”
“Ha ha…”
Some of the people who had been sitting in protest, when they saw the two giant interstellar warships rising and leaving on the huge screen in the square, jumped up, excitedly screaming wildly.
“Lo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God. Since they learned of the Nolan Mountain Family’s impending arrival, they risked their lives to go into space and fight for the last chance of survival for the Earthlings. They succeeded, yes! All three of them succeeded!” On TV, videos of Lo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God being extremely excited and happy together were played.
This video was sent by Lo Feng and the three through the virtual universe network.
…
“It’s so exciting, I’m going crazy.”
In the control room of the spacecraft, Thunder God was ecstatic. “Really, when I saw the entire Earth, every base city, every place, countless people excitedly shouting, some kneeling down to kiss the earth. I was so excited that my whole body trembled. I know… this is our race, this is our root. They are all my compatriots, my compatriots!!!”
“Yes, we succeeded, we succeeded.” Even Hong, who was usually calm, now had tears in his eyes.
“I can’t even stay in the virtual universe network anymore.” Lo Feng was also extremely excited. “Seeing the scenes from all over the world coming in, I felt so excited that my head was about to explode.”
“I want to go home, back to Earth.” Lo Feng shouted in the spaceship control room. “I want to return to Earth now, go back there!”
“Me too!” Thunder God nodded quickly.
“Yes, go home.” Hong also nodded.
Excited beyond measure!
The cosmic adventure spaceship kept advancing through the dark universe, heading toward the dark universe coordinates corresponding to Earth.
…
In contrast to the Earthlings and Lo Feng.
Inside the two warships of the Nolan Mountain Family, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. In the lead warship, the eight direct disciples were all in the control room, and there was not a trace of a smile on the faces of the eight people.
“Damn it!”
“Shit.”
“How could it be like this?”
“How did this Lo Feng become the planetary lord of Earth so quickly?”
The atmosphere was cold and oppressive, enough to drive one mad.
“Beep!”
Pula slightly frowned, and the other direct disciples looked at him. Pula whispered, “The clan leader wants to see me.” Saying so, he immediately headed to his cabin.
…
In the virtual universe network.
The current clan leader ‘Yuke·Nolan Mountain’ and the former clan leader ‘Dewen·Nolan Mountain’ were both standing there respectfully. Beside them stood a man with an extremely lean figure, sharp ears, and eyes like a scorpion. He was wearing a dark green combat uniform, and on his chest was a medal of an unusual giant axe.
“For the family?”
“For my own sake?”
The man was furious. “What is the family? Back then, I started from scratch and created the family! I can create it again in the future! The most important thing is strength! Strength, do you understand? Now I am already at the ninth cosmic level, just a little away from becoming a Domain Lord! If I have incredible wealth and can invite an immortal expert to guide me, I can cross this threshold. Then, I will have a lifespan of 100 eons, and the future of the Nolan Mountain Family will be even more glorious!”
“Attack? A joke!”
“Let the family’s elites directly board the spaceship and travel through the cosmos. At worst, leave the Heilongshan Empire!”
“Just abandon those planets!”
“In the future, when I become a Domain Lord, the Nolan Mountain Family will be a hundred times stronger than now!” the man said coldly. “Besides, looting Earth won’t necessarily bring down our entire family. After all, abandoning so many planets and their foundations is a waste.”
The two clan leaders dared not utter a word in front of the ‘ancestor’.
“Beep!”
A prompt sound rang out.
“Oh, the little guy commanding the fleet is here,” the man finally showed a cold smile.
