Chapter 726: The End

Luo Feng stood on the rooftop of a grand palace on Qianhua Star, his voice low and solemn, “My father, Luo Hongguo… is innocent!” The Virtual Universe Company had required the trial of 21 individuals, and no matter what, some show had to be made. Yet Luo Feng had neither captured nor directly judged his father at all—he had already decided long ago.

If anyone wanted his father dead, Luo Feng would rather sever ties with the Virtual Universe Company entirely. He would never allow his father to die. He could never forget how, back in the day, his father would return home drenched in sweat every day, gulping down a large plastic cup of cool water.

“Virtual Universe Network synchronization transmission, terminated,” Luo Feng murmured softly.

“Got it!” Ba Bata cheered. “Finally, the highest-point mission is completely finished!”

“Yes, it’s over,” Luo Feng nodded gently.

No matter how the fourth ring of the quest was judged, or how many bonus points were ultimately granted, those were concerns for the arbiters. At the very least, all four rings of the highest-tier missions had now reached their conclusion.

The Four Rings of the Supreme Point Quest

The first ring was the trial of the 18 directors of the Fenghuo Group.

The second ring was choosing which side to save.

The third ring was the trial of 19 Monarchs and two Immortal Deities before the Blood King.

The fourth ring was the trial of his own Luo family members—including his own father.

“A test of my character? To see my true nature?” Luo Feng mused silently. “Now that the mission is over, I wonder if the Virtual Universe Company truly understands me.”

Night.

The rooftop of the palace was bitterly cold, yet Luo Feng stood silently there.

“Feng,” a voice called.

Luo Feng turned his head and saw Xu Xin, dressed in a white fur coat, smiling faintly. “What are you thinking? Still thinking about today’s trials? You really frightened all those kids in our family today. Even those in distant star systems and other regions are now terrified.”

“Good. Let them be afraid,” Luo Feng replied.

“Right,” Xu Xin nodded.

“Xu Xin,” Luo Feng suddenly flipped his hand and produced a seemingly simple-looking laser gun.

“What is this?” Xu Xin was startled.

“An E9-grade laser gun,” Luo Feng explained with a faint smile. “It only takes 0.1 seconds to charge, and a single shot can kill a typical Monarch Ninth Stage expert. Once this E9-grade laser gun is integrated with the planetary defense system, as soon as an enemy invades the planet, the defense system will control the laser gun. Within 0.1 seconds, the Monarch won’t even have time to rush to the gun before it finishes charging. At close range, it will fire directly and kill the enemy in one shot! This is definitely a clan-defending weapon.”

Xu Xin nodded quickly.

Even the royal family of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire didn’t possess such a weapon. Monarch Ninth Stage experts were difficult to station permanently in one place due to their limited lifespans, while the E9 laser gun only required regular maintenance to remain eternal.

Although the Luo family had a Monarch Ninth Stage expert, that was Luo Feng’s personal guard!

Once Luo Feng reached the Monarch level, all his guards would leave, leaving only Di Fan as the sole Monarch in the Luo family.

“With this E9 laser gun, our family will be much safer,” Xu Xin said excitedly.

“This ring, take it,” Luo Feng handed the ring to his wife.

“Hmm?” Xu Xin accepted it with confusion. “What is this?”

“A spaceship from the Machine Race,” Luo Feng replied. “Its main cannon’s power is astonishing, capable of rivaling an attack from an Immortal Deity… naturally far more powerful than the E9 laser gun. However, due to its massive size and long charging time, its efficiency cannot match the E9 laser gun. Still, it is a powerful clan-defending weapon.”

Xu Xin nodded.

An attack rivaling that of an Immortal Deity… this was definitely a restricted-class weapon.

“Of course, your parents and you usually live on Earth, and the current Earth is arguably the safest place within the territory of the Qianwu Cosmic Nation,” Luo Feng smiled. After all, what kind of existence was stationed inside the majestic temple in the Solar System, Luo Feng couldn’t even begin to imagine.

Moreover, with a super-being stationed there, in case of alien enemies, the temple could instantly summon a massive force of human super-experts through the Divine Realm transmission.

“Luo Feng, why do I feel like you’re making some kind of arrangement?” Xu Xin asked in confusion.

“Yes. This time, I’ll be away for a very long time—far longer than any previous departure,” Luo Feng replied.

“Where are you going?” Xu Xin quickly asked.

“To Chaos City!” Luo Feng said.

“How long?” Xu Xin asked anxiously.

“Uncertain… probably at least a thousand years,” Luo Feng sighed. “When I return next time, I’ll be at the peak of the Monarch level.”

“A thousand years at least, and in Chaos City?” Xu Xin asked in confusion. “I know a lot about cultivation too. You’ve already gained recognition of the Gold Origin’s Law after less than 500 years of cultivation… and you’ll cultivate much faster in Chaos City. Why would you need to stay so long?”

“You wouldn’t understand,” Luo Feng replied.

“Oh…” Xu Xin didn’t seem to care. “As long as we can meet through the Virtual Universe Network.”

Seeing his wife’s indifferent expression, Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile. Xu Xin, who normally managed the Super Group Hai Ping Group and the entire Luo family, could only act freely and casually in front of him. Otherwise, she had to maintain sufficient dignity at all times.

“Luo Feng, you’ve got a message! Probably about the highest-point mission,” Ba Bata’s voice echoed through Luo Feng’s mind.

“Oh?”

Luo Feng connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network with a single thought.
