A smirk of triumph spread across the face of Yanzhu King.
How could he not be proud?
Previously, he had instructed his subordinates to place an Immortal Crystal on Earth, originally intending to use it in the future to deal with Luo Feng. Unexpectedly, this underhanded tactic had now proven to be of great value!
“This Earth is quite remote. Among the Immortal Deities serving other Cosmic Sovereigns, who would leave behind a coordinate relic here?” a blue-haired, single-horned elder laughed. “Without a coordinate relic, there’s no way to directly teleport via divine kingdom. So we must be the fastest to arrive!”
“Hahaha…” Yanzhu King’s smile widened.
A woman clad in dark battle armor, her face adorned with fish-like scales, gave a solemn nod. “If other Cosmic Sovereigns wish to dispatch their forces, they must first teleport through their divine kingdoms to the nearest coordinates, then journey by starship to reach this place. The Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain is but a mundane celestial region, home to only two Immortal Deities. Which follower of the Cosmic Sovereigns would bother leaving a coordinate relic in such a backwater?”
There must be a coordinate relic.
Only then could divine kingdom teleportation be possible. Back then, Dylan had brought Luo Feng by teleporting first to a location within the Qianwu Cosmic Empire, and then they had traveled by spaceship for many days before reaching Lonyu Star.
“I’d estimate that even the fastest among other Cosmic Sovereigns would take three to five days,” a hoarse voice came from a lean, muscular man with a lizard’s head.
“Senior Brother Yanzhu, now that we’ve arrived at Earth, please give us your orders. We five will naturally follow your command,” said the woman in black battle armor.
“Since my junior brothers and sisters speak thus, I shall issue my commands,” Yanzhu King smiled.
This time, six King-ranked Immortal Deities and twelve Marquis-ranked Immortal Deities had come under the command of Flame Sovereign. Although Yanzhu King ranked at the lower end among the King-ranked, he had seniority. He was the only son of his father even before his father became an Immortal. The other King-ranked Immortal Deities had mostly become disciples after Flame Sovereign attained his status.
Therefore!
Among Flame Sovereign’s many disciples, Yanzhu King had extremely high seniority and was regarded as the second senior brother.
“Bu Na!”
Yanzhu King suddenly called out.
“Master.”
A tall, muscular man in silver armor with a bald head instantly stepped forward respectfully.
“With so many King-ranked Immortal Deities appearing here, that Luo Feng might be too frightened to show himself. Besides, we have our differences. This time, my father’s command is of utmost importance. So if we can easily acquire Earth, there’s no need for complicated tactics. You shall go forth and find a way to lure Luo Feng out for negotiations,” Yanzhu King ordered with a sneer. “That native-born Luo Feng probably doesn’t even know about Earth’s uniqueness. Even my father and other Cosmic Sovereigns have only recently discovered it. How could Luo Feng possibly know? So it should be easy enough to acquire Earth without much difficulty.”
“For example, you can directly say you wish to purchase the Milky Way. This will prevent him from realizing Earth’s significance,” Yanzhu King grinned.
“I understand,” the tall bald man respectfully replied.
“Go,” Yanzhu King commanded. “Immediately inform us once there’s any movement.”
“Yes,” the muscular bald man streaked away in a flash of light and quickly disappeared.
“Junior brothers and sisters, to prevent Luo Feng from returning to Earth and discovering us, which might complicate Bu Na’s negotiations, let us temporarily retreat into outer space,” Yanzhu King looked around at the other Immortal Deities, his gaze settling on the blue-haired, single-horned elder. “Ninth Junior Brother, it’s up to you.”
“Haha.”
The blue-haired, single-horned elder chuckled. Although there were six King-ranked Immortal Deities present, only he could perform instantaneous teleportation. Instantly, immortal power enveloped the group of Immortal Deities.
“Go!”
Flash!
In an instant, the group of Immortal Deities vanished from Earth and simultaneously appeared in the desolate expanse of space one light-year away.
“No matter how capable he may be, he cannot possibly detect us from one light-year away,” the blue-haired, single-horned elder confidently declared.
“Hahaha…” Yanzhu King and the other five King-ranked Immortal Deities laughed, while the remaining eleven Marquis-ranked Immortal Deities obediently followed behind.
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, the group of Immortal Deities stood in space, conversing freely and awaiting news from ‘Bu Na.’ Once they received word, they could instantly teleport back to Earth.
…
On Earth, in the city of Yangzhou, in the Huaxia Nation of the Eurasian continent.
The Luo family’s ancestral home housed only nearly ten thousand people. The Luo clan members living on Earth numbered less than thirty thousand. The majority of the Luo family’s descendants were managing the Milky Way, interacting with noble families, and engaging in various business ventures. With Luo Feng’s status as an ‘Inspector,’ conducting business for the Luo family was indeed very easy.
Although the ancestral home had few residents, its status was extremely high.
Firstly, the matriarch ‘Xu Xin’ resided on Earth, as did Luo Feng’s birth parents. Luo Feng’s younger brother ‘Luo Hua’ and his two sons often traveled through the cosmos, but they also spent quite a bit of time at the ancestral home.
“Mom.”
“Mother.”
On the wide grassy area of the Luo ancestral home, hundreds of infants could be seen crawling about, some still babbling with their baby voices, calling out for their mothers.
Xu Xin stood in the distance, smiling as she watched the infants.
These hundreds of infants were only a small fraction of the numerous new generations of the Luo family. After several centuries of reproduction, the Luo bloodline alone had grown to number in the hundreds of thousands, with a large number of newborns each year. These hundreds of infants were from the elite families within the clan; otherwise, how could they have the privilege of growing up at the ancestral home?
It couldn’t be helped.
Once a family becomes large, especially after thousands of years. With five thousand years of Chinese culture, a family that has existed for thousands of years will have enough land, food, and various resources, and the ability to take multiple wives, leading to a population far exceeding the current total population of Earth. Earth’s population is limited mainly due to constraints like land and food supply.
The vast population inevitably leads to strict clan rules, with clear hierarchies and social stratification becoming increasingly pronounced.
“Boom!”
An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire Luo ancestral home.
“Who is it?”
Eleven figures soared into the heavens—these were the eleven Domain Lords stationed at the Luo ancestral estate. All of them glared furiously at the sky, where a towering, muscular man clad in silver battle armor floated effortlessly, his bald head gleaming. A faint smile played upon his lips as an invisible pressure of laws radiated from his entire being, making him appear like a blazing sun.
A deity!
Fortunately, the immortal deity controlled his pressure, merely as a warning. Otherwise, those infants might not have survived.
“Immortal,” one of the Domain Lord guards growled. “This is the residence of Luo Feng, the Inspector of the Qianwu Branch. We are members of Luo Feng’s personal guard, following the orders of the Virtual Universe Company. We would like to know, Immortal, what business you have here?”
“I wish to see Luo Feng,” the bald man, shining like the sun, smiled as he looked down, his gaze landing on Xu Xin. With a wave of his hand—
Whoosh!
Xu Xin was yanked into the air, helplessly drawn toward the bald man with no means of escape. An invisible pressure radiated from the bald figure, engulfing the entire Luo ancestral estate. With a chilling smile, he murmured, “I simply wish to have a word with Luo Feng. That’s all. Do not provoke my wrath… lest you suffer dire consequences.”
(Note: Adjusted phrasing to enhance the fantasy atmosphere while preserving the original meaning. Used terms like “yanked,” “chilling smile,” and “dire consequences” to heighten tension. Maintained the bald man’s menacing yet controlled tone.)
…
In the Virtual Universe, at Luo Feng’s mansion in the Primordial Region of Yuxiang Mountain.
Luo Feng was in his study, troubled by his earlier conversation with the Undying Sovereign.
“Earth?”
“Undying Sovereign is already one of the highest-ranking members of the Giant Axe Combat Arena, holding an extremely prestigious position. Yet he personally came to me, just to buy Earth,” Luo Feng frowned, pondering. “What is so special about my home planet Earth? And the last time I was on Earth, I discovered that mysterious black metal plate, which clearly indicates that Earth has some unique qualities. But my teacher, Huyan Bo, controlled Earth for so many years, and I never heard Babata mention anything special about Earth. Nor have I seen anything particularly remarkable in the historical records of Earth’s human civilization.”
Luo Feng was puzzled.
Suddenly—
“Beep!”
“Beep!”
“Beep!”
Several incoming call alerts simultaneously appeared on the screen beside him, and Babata also shouted one after another, “It’s a call request from your son, Luoping. And also from Baikarlo, and Divan, and your Domain Lord guards, and your father, Luohongguo…”
“Connect them all,” Luo Feng’s expression changed.
Flash.
Dozens of screens appeared out of nowhere in the study, each displaying a figure, all people on Earth.
“Dad, hurry up, Mom has been captured. A immortal came.”
“Master, an immortal has arrived. Here’s the video.”
“Prince Luo…”
The sounds of chaos and urgency almost sounded at the same time. With his extraordinary abilities, Luo Feng could multitask with his mind, instantly understanding each person’s words clearly, and watching the videos displayed on the screens with clarity.
This immediately caused Luo Feng’s expression to change drastically, and he quickly summoned Dylan from his mansion.
“Your Highness,” Dylan looked at Luo Feng in confusion.
“Look,” Luo Feng pointed at the dozens of screens in front of him, many of which were playing videos recorded by Luoping, Divan, and others.
“It’s an immortal, oh, it’s the Marquis-ranked immortal ‘Burning-Heart Marquis’ Buna,” Dylan immediately recognized him. Although the number of immortals among the human race in the cosmos was vast, their memories were also extremely strong, allowing them to recognize most of the immortals.
“He is holding my family hostage,” Luo Feng’s face darkened. “Go, back to Earth, immediately!”
“Yes,” Dylan did not try to dissuade him.
…
The Yinshe Starship, which had been flying through the dark universe, quickly decelerated and returned to the original universe through cosmic travel, then used divine teleportation to first arrive at Dylan’s divine kingdom. Then, through Dylan’s divine kingdom teleportation, they headed for the Solar System.
…
On Mars, in the Solar System.
A hazy glow shimmered, rippling slightly, and a blood-red triangular spaceship appeared—it was the Yinshe Starship.
Because Earth was Luo Feng’s homeland, to ensure the ability to return to Earth in an emergency, Dylan had placed coordinate relics on Earth. Additionally, as a precaution, twelve coordinate relics were stored in various locations within the Solar System. After all, it wasn’t always possible to teleport directly to Earth.
For example, right now, the immortal ‘Buna’ was on Earth, and his mind could cover and observe the entire planet.
If Dylan were to appear on Earth through divine teleportation, ‘Buna’ could easily obtain the coordinates of Dylan’s divine kingdom. Having one’s divine kingdom coordinates discovered was an extremely dangerous matter.
“Your Highness, we will soon arrive at Earth,” the Yinshe Starship accelerated rapidly.
Swoosh!
It transformed into a streak of light and quickly reached the speed of light, traversing the universe. Just as it entered the ‘dark universe’ through cosmic travel, it immediately returned to the ‘original universe’ through another cosmic jump. In this back-and-forth, dozens of seconds had passed, but they had already reached Earth’s outer space.
