Chapter 711: Stirring the Winds of Change

“You all may return!” ordered the Venerable Erosion Fire to the five Marquis-ranked immortals and twelve Duke-ranked immortals.

“Yes, Venerable.”

“Yes, Master.”

The immortals bowed respectfully. Then, the Void Gold King unleashed his immortal power to envelop them all. First, they instantly teleported one light-year away, and then each departed using their own methods. After all, using ‘Divine Kingdom Teleportation’ in front of the immortal warriors under Nine-Sword Venerable would reveal the coordinates of their Divine Kingdoms.

“Yan Zhu, release all the Earthlings back,” commanded the Venerable Erosion Fire.

“As you command,” Yan Zhu King dared not resist.

He transformed into a streak of light and flew to Earth, releasing a massive number of Earthlings from a spatial realm back to Earth. Billions of people were chaotically scattered across the planet—perhaps Han Chinese ended up in North America, while some Caucasians appeared in Africa. Earth was thrown into complete disorder.

It would take at least ten days to half a month to return everyone to their homes and restore order, even with Earth’s current advanced technology.

Moments later!

Yan Zhu King flew back.

Erosion Fire Venerable glanced at his son, Yan Zhu King, who looked dazed and disoriented. He slightly shook his head and barked, “Come with me.”

Boom!

Black flames enveloped his son. In an instant, Erosion Fire Venerable and Yan Zhu King vanished into thin air.

Within the vast Divine Kingdom.

Erosion Fire Venerable and Yan Zhu King suddenly appeared atop a mountain peak in this expansive Divine Kingdom.

“Father!” Yan Zhu King looked at Erosion Fire Venerable, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. “Why have you punished me to the Ninth Star Domain Prison for a thousand epochs? Don’t tell me it’s because of that Luo Feng—I don’t believe it! Even if I killed him, I wouldn’t deserve a thousand epochs in the Ninth Star Domain Prison!” Yan Zhu King was indeed furious.

Though he respected his father, the punishment was too severe.

He had held back, waiting until now to ask.

He wanted to know the truth!

“Cha Luo,” Erosion Fire Venerable gently stroked his son’s head and said softly, “This punishment was not my will.”

“Huh?” Yan Zhu King’s eyes lit up.

“But this was an order from my teacher, saying you’ve become increasingly disrespectful and must be severely punished,” Erosion Fire Venerable sighed. “At that time, my teacher said… confine you to the Ninth Star Domain Prison for a thousand epochs as a minor punishment.”

“Father, your teacher?” Yan Zhu King’s eyes widened.

Boom!

Yan Zhu King felt his mind explode. His father, Erosion Fire Venerable, had immense power and influence even within the Mosha Clan’s arena, nearly rivaling the Immortal Venerable. Though the Immortal Venerable held higher status and greater strength, his solitary nature and lack of alliances meant Erosion Fire Venerable did not fear him greatly.

But… Erosion Fire Venerable’s teacher was a different matter.

The true leader of Erosion Fire Venerable’s faction was his teacher! Erosion Fire Venerable was merely one of the disciples of that great being. That great existence was the true dominant figure within the Mosha Clan’s arena, with only the founder of the Mosha Clan capable of surpassing him.

“Void Gold Sovereign!” Yan Zhu King rasped.

Erosion Fire Venerable’s teacher—Void Gold Sovereign!

A true dominant figure across infinite time within the human race, holding absolute supremacy within one of humanity’s two strongest factions, the Mosha Clan’s arena. Only the founder of the Mosha Clan, the mightiest being among humans, could command his submission.

“Void Gold Sovereign said this was a minor punishment for me?” Yan Zhu King was horrified. “How could the great Void Gold Sovereign even notice me?”

Void Gold Sovereign!

Supreme among all, with Cosmic Sovereigns kneeling before him, and even Erosion Fire Venerable and others bowing. Even the entire Jinjiao Clan would tremble in fear before Void Gold Sovereign! Among the oldest and strongest beings in the human race, he was among the most formidable.

For Void Gold Sovereign to even mention Yan Zhu King’s name, Yan Zhu King should feel proud.

This was within the peak human race. In many other cosmic races like the Jinjiao Clan, they could not even produce an absolute dominant figure like Void Gold Sovereign. Even within the human race, countless catastrophes and trials were endured before giving rise to such a great being as Void Gold Sovereign.

“Father,” Yan Zhu King anxiously looked at his father, “How could Void Gold Sovereign even notice me?”

He was terrified.

Even his father feared Void Gold Sovereign and belonged to his faction. If Void Gold Sovereign wanted him dead, who could protect him?

“My teacher said to punish you, but I do not know the exact reason. My teacher did not explain, so I dared not ask further,” Erosion Fire Venerable looked at him. “However, rest assured, someone of my teacher’s stature would not bother with a small fry like you.”

“Yes, yes,” Yan Zhu King nodded quickly.

“Given my teacher’s command, I suspect that Luo Feng might have some connection with my teacher,” Erosion Fire Venerable frowned.

“Ahh,” Yan Zhu King was startled. “Father, so that’s why you treated him so kindly…”

“Yes, your actions on Earth drew my teacher’s attention, leading to your punishment,” Erosion Fire Venerable nodded slightly. “My teacher is known for favoring his own, yet still ordered you to serve a thousand epochs in the Ninth Star Domain Prison. I can’t help but suspect… my teacher might have some connection with Luo Feng.”

“But Luo Feng belongs to the Virtual Universe Company, while Void Gold Sovereign is part of our Mosha Clan’s arena,” Yan Zhu King said.

“The deeper reasons are beyond my understanding,” Erosion Fire Venerable shook his head slightly.

Yan Zhu silently sighed.

He hoped that one day his father could become a figure like Void Gold Sovereign. Then he would be even more powerful. Whether it was the Chaos Sovereign or Void Gold Sovereign, both stood at the true pinnacle of the human race, even among the countless races of the vast cosmos.

“Since my teacher has ordered it, you must serve your thousand-epoch sentence in the Ninth Star Domain Prison. You have indeed caused quite a bit of trouble over the years. It’s time to focus on cultivation. Once you master that treasure, no one below the Venerable level can threaten you. Even against Zhenyan, you can hold your own. After all, strength is the foundation… I cannot protect you forever,” Erosion Fire Venerable said.

“Yes,” Yan Zhu King nodded.

Solar System.

In space, the immortal army led by Lonyu King transformed into a hazy beam of light and departed via Divine Kingdom Teleportation. Only the Bloodthirsty King, Dylan, and Luo Feng remained in space.

“Just Divine Kingdom Teleportation?” Luo Feng was surprised. “Won’t that risk exposing the Divine Kingdom’s coordinates?”

“It must have been one of the immortal warriors’ ‘Immortal Slaves’ who performed the teleportation,” Bloodthirsty King casually smiled. “And after performing the teleportation, that Immortal Slave will certainly work hard to relocate the Divine Kingdom’s position, rendering the coordinates useless.”

“Relocate the Divine Kingdom’s position?” Luo Feng was puzzled.

“The Divine Kingdom exists within spatial layers, and those layers are infinite. Of course, the Divine Kingdom can slowly move away from its original location,” Bloodthirsty King explained. “However, Divine Kingdoms move very slowly. If someone immediately pursued using the original coordinates, it would be very dangerous.”

Luo Feng nodded.

“Junior Brother, do you know Erosion Fire Venerable?” Bloodthirsty King looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng immediately shook his head. “No, I’ve only been alive for a few hundred years. How could I know Erosion Fire Venerable?”

“Then why was he so courteous to you? That’s strange,” Bloodthirsty King frowned slightly. “After all, the Venerables are all peerless beings across the cosmos. They usually ignore small fry like you at the Domain Lord level.”

“I don’t understand either,” Luo Feng was also puzzled.

Then Luo Feng smiled and invited, “Senior Brother, since you rarely visit Earth, come to my place for a visit.”

“Sure,” Bloodthirsty King agreed readily.

Earth, Han Country, Yangzhou City, Luo Feng’s ancestral home.

After returning, Luo Feng immediately released his family members.

“Dad.”

“Master.”

“Luofeng.” The Luo ancestral home was instantly filled with lively chatter.

Luo Hongguo quickly said, “Little Peak, I was suddenly absorbed into a spatial realm. I immediately connected to the Virtual Universe Network and contacted many old friends. I learned that many Earthlings were captured into spatial realms. It seems all Earth’s billions of people were gathered together. But my old friends don’t know it was you who captured us, so they’re all very anxious.”

“Haha…” Luo Feng chuckled.

He hadn’t captured all the Earthlings himself.

“A complete mess,” Luo Feng scanned Yangzhou City with his mental power and couldn’t help but laugh. In the middle of summer, many Caucasians wearing winter coats appeared in the city, even some foreigners wrapped in towels walking on the streets. Some even appeared on skyscraper rooftops.

Virtual Universe, Thunder Island.

Nine-Sword Venerable mobilizing such a massive immortal army and gathering at the ninth teleportation point of the Primordial Secret Realm naturally alerted the Virtual Universe Company’s top leadership. The events on Earth could not be hidden, prompting many Cosmic Venerables to inquire with Nine-Sword Venerable.

“Haha, I’ve heard from friends in the Mosha Clan’s arena. Not only Erosion Fire Venerable and Immortal Venerable, but many other Cosmic Venerables from the Mosha Clan are dispatching their elites to Earth. Erosion Fire Venerable just acted first.”

“Good thing he didn’t succeed.”

“Right, if Earth is truly a treasure land, it should belong to our Virtual Universe Company. The Earth’s lord, that young fellow Luo Feng, is our Virtual Universe Company’s cultivated genius.”

“Right.”

“Nine-Sword, Earth is an ordinary life planet. If there was anything special, we should have discovered it long ago. Why are so many Cosmic Venerables from the Mosha Clan sending their subordinates to Earth?”

“What’s special about Earth, Nine-Sword? Tell us?”

“I really don’t know anything about it.”

At Thunder Island’s palace of Nine-Sword Venerable, powerful Cosmic Venerables and Cosmic Sovereigns arrived one after another, only to leave disappointed. More than 80% of the Cosmic Venerables and Sovereigns under the Virtual Universe Company came to inquire with Nine-Sword Venerable.

The grand hall gradually quieted down.

Lonyu King, clad in emerald battle armor, entered the hall. Above the throne in the hall, a figure suddenly materialized—an aqua-robed, purple-scaled man. Lonyu King immediately bowed respectfully, “Venerable.”

“You arrange it. I want to meet Luo Feng in person,” Nine-Sword Venerable ordered.
