Chapter 630: The Zerg Hive Project

After a long conversation with his wife and meeting his two sons, an extravagant banquet was held that night at the ancestral Luo residence.

Luo clan members from all corners of the universe had returned.

…

In the evening, the family gathering commenced, with the clan’s members gathering together in a bustling atmosphere.

“Greetings to the clan leader!” More than two thousand people in the grand hall respectfully knelt and bowed.

“Ha ha…” Luo Feng sat at the head position, smiling as he looked at the two thousand people before him. These individuals, male and female, spanned over two hundred years of generations. The youngest among them was already the eleventh generation descendant! Of the two thousand kneeling individuals, there were over five hundred male family members.

The rest were daughters of the family. Of course, there were even more daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, great-granddaughters-in-law, and so on.

Although many of the male clan members practiced monogamy, as generations passed and they traveled through the universe, gaining worldly experiences and being influenced by other cosmic families, many began taking multiple wives, with some even having dozens of spouses. In the universe, it was normal for those of high status and great power to have many wives.

Of course!

For this banquet, the male clan members attending brought no more than three wives each, not daring to bring too many.

“Please rise,” Luo Feng instructed.

“Yes, clan leader,” the two thousand people responded in unison and stood.

Luo Feng looked at the infants being held by their parents. Many of the babies blinked their eyes at him, some with light blue irises, indicating mixed bloodlines.

“Xu Xin,” Luo Feng whispered to his wife beside him. “It seems that the later generations of our clan marry more wives, resulting in more children.”

“Yes,” Xu Xin nodded. “Take your eleventh-generation descendant, Luo Kedi. He has fifty-one wives, with one-third of them having Earth bloodlines, while the rest are from various other races across the universe. However, they are all races quite similar to Earthlings. This is according to our clan rules! He has twenty-one sons and twenty-eight daughters.”

Luo Feng was speechless.

Luo Kedi? Truly impressive.

“Now, this is the trend within our clan. The Luo family is growing stronger, especially since you became the Inspector. As one of the four major leaders of the Qianwu Branch, many powerful and ancient clans from the Qianwu Cosmic Nation have come to establish connections with us,” Xu Xin said helplessly. “These younger generations have seen much, and thus are naturally influenced. Some of these cosmic clans have thousands of wives and thousands of children.”

“Compared to them, our Luo family is still quite restrained,” Xu Xin said.

“…” Luo Feng remained silent.

“This is the normal direction of family development. Indeed, for a family to flourish, it must grow large in number. Only with sufficient numbers can the probability of producing elite members increase,” Xu Xin smiled. “These ancient and powerful families have millions, even billions of members. Within their own clans, they can cultivate groups of World Lords, and Domain Lords and Cosmic-level experts are countless!”

Luo Feng smiled wryly.

If each of his descendants married dozens of wives and had dozens of children… in a few hundred or thousand years, the Luo family would indeed number in the millions or billions.

“Humans are powerful,” said Dylan beside him in a low voice, “because of their strong reproductive capabilities and large numbers.”

Luo Feng turned to look at Dylan.

Reproduction?

Dozens of children?

It somehow felt like a sow giving birth to a litter, producing a whole group at once.

“Mr. Dylan speaks the truth,” Xu Xin nodded with a smile. “For a family to grow strong, it cannot rely solely on one person. It needs a large number of descendants. The male members of our family, numbering only over five hundred, are pitifully few compared to those ancient cosmic families.”

“Alright,” Luo Feng shook his head and smiled.

In his generation, Luo Ping, Luo Hai, and others…

At least in the earlier generations, most practiced monogamy, with occasional cases of two or three wives.

As generations passed…

Especially with the sixth and seventh-generation descendants… things became increasingly exaggerated.

“Now Luo Kedi has dozens of wives, but in the future, there may be even more outstanding disciples in our Luo family,” Luo Feng chuckled softly. Xu Xin beside him added, “It wouldn’t be surprising if someone in the future had thousands or even tens of thousands of wives.”

“Kedi, Kedi,” Luo Hua, Luo Feng’s younger brother sitting beside him, laughed. “Brother, who named him? The name fits him perfectly. That young man’s strength is rather ordinary, but with so many wives and sons… and he’s still young. I’ve met the boy; he has a sharp mind for management. The family gave him three planets as his territory, and not only did he build several palaces on his planets, but he also constructed palaces in many places throughout the cosmos. It’s like building golden houses to hide his beauties. At such a young age, he already has fifty-one wives. Perhaps in a few decades, he’ll have hundreds or even thousands of wives.”

“Kedi, Kedi,” Luo Hua shook his head, “just by having a large number of sons and daughters, he can conquer his enemies and win victories! What a fitting name!”

“Just a reminder,” Xu Xin smiled, “the number fifty-one is the reported figure. According to our clan’s intelligence system… Luo Kedi has another sixty-two women who are not officially registered with the clan.”

Luo Feng and Luo Hua exchanged glances.

Speechless!

“A true talent,” Dylan, the immortal god beside them, chuckled lightly.

…

During this banquet, Luo Feng also interacted playfully with each of the infants. However, what impressed Luo Feng the most during this banquet was the clan member Luo Kedi.

Luo Feng had a feeling—

If this continues.

The family will grow increasingly large. Of course, compared to ancient families like the royal family of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and the Ji clan, even if the family’s population reaches hundreds of millions, it might still not amount to a ten-thousandth of some ancient families.

…

After the banquet.

Luo Feng, Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai gathered together as a family of four.

“Dad,” Luo Hai asked eagerly, “how long will you stay this time you’re back?”

“Xiao Hai, this time I’ll be staying on Earth for quite a while,” Luo Feng said with a smile, gently ruffling his son’s hair. Of his two sons, Luo Ping was the more obedient and steady one, while Luo Hai burned with an adventurous spirit. He trained at the Qianwu Dojo, journeyed through the cosmos, and with the family’s resources, had already reached the eighth level of the Planetary stage.

“How long is a long time?” Luo Hai pressed on.

Luo Ping also looked at his father.

“At the shortest, a few hundred years; at the longest, over a thousand or even ten thousand years,” Luo Feng smiled. “During my time as an Inspector, I will stay on Earth in reality. Unless I occasionally go out to carry out missions assigned by the Virtual Universe Company, I will be on Earth for almost all of my time.”

“Hooray!” Luo Hai cheered.

Clap!

The two brothers, Luo Ping and Luo Hai, high-fived and cheered.

Seeing this, Luo Feng and Xu Xin both smiled. Although there were many family members, their closest affections were for these two sons.

“I won’t go adventuring anymore these years,” Luo Hai shouted. “I will stay on Earth. Haha, Dad, your personal guard even has ten World Lords, a hundred Domain Lords… wow, and even an immortal god! There will be plenty of people to guide me in the future.”

“Don’t disturb Dylan unless it’s something crucial. Once or twice occasionally is acceptable,” Luo Feng commanded. “As for you, a mere eighth-level Star-level… the ten World Lords in my personal guard are all Domain Lords acknowledged by the Primordial Laws. Any one of them can effortlessly mentor you. They will be more than adequate for your needs.”

Luo Hai nodded: “I understand, Dad.”

Domain Lords recognized by the Origin Laws? How few are there even in the entire Black Dragon Star Region.

“Xu Xin,” Luo Feng looked at his wife. “I plan to purchase some high-tech products from the Virtual Universe Company to transform Earth.”

“Transform Earth?”

Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai all looked at Luo Feng in surprise.

“Yes!” Luo Feng nodded.

“Dilun,” Luo Feng’s voice echoed, reaching a chamber a thousand meters distant.

Swoosh.

Di Lun emerged from the void.

“Your Highness,” Dilun greeted, while Luo Ping, Luo Hai, and Xu Xin immediately adopted more solemn demeanors, for Dilun was an immortal deity.

“Tell them about my plan to transform Earth,” Luo Feng said.

“Yes,” Dilon gazed at Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai. “Your Highness is a disciple of the esteemed Zhenyan the Venerable, and he ventured into the Primordial Secret Realm during his very first Qualification Battle. Undoubtedly, he stands as one of the most exceptional geniuses within the Virtual Universe Company. Such prodigious talent is held in the highest regard by the Virtual Universe Company—and indeed, by the myriad races across the cosmos.”

Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai were startled.

“The cosmos is not at peace.

“War is eternal,” Di Lun declared. “Countless warriors from the celestial legions of myriad cosmic realms fall… yet they are but mere fodder. True prodigies such as Your Highness are the genuine peril to these races. With Your Highness’s gifts, so long as you endure—!”

“Then becoming a Marquis-level immortal god is practically assured, and even becoming a King-level immortal god is within reach. There is even a slight chance he could become a mighty Cosmic Emperor.”

“For such an extraordinary genius,

“Humans value him, and other races also value him.

“Humans cherish him by nurturing his growth, while other races… prefer to eliminate him early!” declared Di Lun, causing the expressions of Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai to darken instantly.

Di Lun smiled: “However, rest assured, any elite from other races who could infiltrate human society would not dare to reveal themselves lightly, for it is exceedingly difficult to remain undetected once inside.”

“Furthermore, a true prodigy has not yet fully come into their power and holds a status no higher than that of a Marquis-tier celestial,” Di Lun continued. “In truth, to unravel the mysteries of space and reach Earth, one must at least be a Marquis-tier celestial adept in spatial arts. Yet even such a being would not act personally—for the moment they do, they would be revealed and could never escape from the heart of human dominion.”

Luo Feng nodded: “So you needn’t worry too much.”

Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai nodded.

“It’s hard for infiltrators to slip in, and even tougher for a Marquis-level immortal deity to penetrate. For those races, the worth of such a spy might rival that of a King-level immortal god who couldn’t breach our defenses,” Dilun chuckled. “They’re unwilling! The more powerful they are, the more difficult it becomes to infiltrate human lands. But once they succeed… each one becomes a priceless chess piece!”

“However, one must not be careless!

“There are numerous methods of elimination. They may employ poison, mechanical race weapons, or other extraordinary means,” Di Lun remarked. “In short, the ways to kill are endless.”

Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai were shocked.

“You can rest assured as well,” Dilun said with a smile. “If even a single Inspector couldn’t guarantee safety on a planet after being stationed there… then the geniuses would have perished long ago.”

“The Virtual Universe Company has long since perfected the transformation plans for the planets where geniuses reside, ensuring at the very least that they remain absolutely safe while on-world. It’s only when they leave the planet for missions… that they typically encounter danger.”

Luo Feng smiled: “Believe in the capabilities of the Virtual Universe Company.”

“By the way, what about the Zerg Hive?” Luo Feng asked next.

There were mainly two things to do upon returning to Earth: transforming Earth and the Zerg Hive plan.
