Chapter 884: The Future of the Earth Lineage

In a grand hall surrounded by countless sealed stars, a towering old man looked down upon Luo Feng. Speaking slowly and kindly, his voice boomed and echoed throughout the hall. As a unique life form in the cosmos, his body naturally reached a height of over ninety thousand kilometers, making him accustomed to speaking with a voice like thunder.

“Disciple, your two treasures are the Star Tower and the Calamity Armor. Your second senior brother’s two treasures are the Flameshatter Halberd and the Original Soul.”

“In the past, I guided the birth of the Flame God Clan. The Flame God Clan is naturally gifted with extraordinary talent, making them naturally born warriors. The leader of the Flame God Clan, your second senior brother, is especially adept at close combat, possessing boundless power. The Flameshatter Halberd is a treasure used by warriors, while the ‘Original Soul’ is a very special soul-related treasure. When fused into the soul, it can make the soul even more powerful!”

Luo Feng was startled.

The treasure ‘Original Soul’? Could it strengthen the soul?

“Your second senior brother is extremely strong in his physical form. Compared to his physical strength, his soul is relatively ordinary, about equal to that of a common Cosmic Lord. Only by relying on the treasure ‘Original Soul’ can he gain an advantage. Thus, the treasure ‘Original Soul’ makes his soul even more powerful, and the Flameshatter Halberd enhances his combat power… Now, he is an absolute overlord in the vast universe, an expert in battle, and many races are reluctant to provoke the Flame God Clan.”

Luo Feng nodded as he listened.

He secretly admired how incredible it was to cultivate a supreme overlord in the universe.

“However, I was not satisfied.” The towering old man looked at Luo Feng with a trace of pride in his eyes. “So, the Earth human lineage came into being.”

“Although their physical talents are strong, there are still some methods in the universe to alter bloodlines and enhance genes. I even created the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Manual,’ which defies the cosmic operational laws, enabling ordinary Earth humans to instantly rival the rare and unique powerful lives in the universe! The Golden-Horned Giant Beast you took over… considered to have the peak bloodline, its physical attack power is only ten times that of a human. The first calamity of the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Manual’ triples it, the second calamity doubles that to six times, the third calamity doubles again to twelve times… Just by cultivating to the third calamity, a human body can surpass the peak bloodline of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast!”

“The fourth calamity, the fifth calamity…”

“As cultivation progresses, at the very least, the various bloodline lives commonly found in the universe will no longer be comparable to you. Those like the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, which can reproduce generation after generation, are still normal races.” The towering old man sighed. “Yet in the universe, there are also some unique lives that have no reproduction and no inheritance.”

“Since the birth and evolution of the universe, some lives may only have two or three in the entire universe, or even some lives that are truly one of a kind.”

“The more powerful and gifted the life, the fewer in number they are.”

“Like the Blood-Net Power you obtained, it was formed from the blood of a Beast God.” The towering old man sighed. “The Beast God is a unique life in the universe, naturally fused with the laws, possessing an extremely dominant combat power among Cosmic Lords! Can you imagine a being that is born as a Cosmic Lord?”

Luo Feng felt a bit stunned.

Special life?

He had learned something about it when collecting information. These are lives born in some special environments in the universe, which cannot reproduce or inherit. Lives that cannot reproduce cannot be considered a race. Like the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, although rare, it can at least reproduce and pass down generation after generation, accumulating over endless epochs… still able to produce a large number of super powerful beings.

But some special lives, like the Beast God, are born only once in the universe and cannot reproduce, so naturally cannot form a race.

“Special lives in the universe generally grow from weakness to strength. Beings like the Beast God, who are naturally fused with the laws and born powerful, are extremely rare.” The towering old man looked down upon Luo Feng. “Those special lives have genes hundreds or even thousands of times superior to humans. Obviously, they far surpass the Golden-Horned Giant Beast.”

Luo Feng nodded.

The Golden-Horned Giant Beast belongs to the strongest bloodline in the universe, referring to bloodlines that can reproduce generation after generation. However, there are many unique lives that surpass the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, although each type is extremely rare in number, such as the Beast God, or the great beings of other races, all of which are unique in the universe.

“With the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Manual,’ it’s equivalent to creating a special life. Unfortunately, the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Manual’ can only be practiced by one person, and must be practiced by a flesh-and-blood life with the soul of the Earth human lineage.” Said the towering old man.

“My expectations for you are very high.”

“You have the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Manual,’ the noble level of your genetic life, and in the future, you will possess a powerful divine body and soul! As an outstanding individual of the Earth human lineage, which is hard to find across countless epochs, your will and consciousness are extremely strong. Consciousness is the general of mental power, while willpower is the commander of consciousness! Strong will and consciousness will enable you to unleash ten or even a hundred times more power in your soul.”

“Physically strong, soul strong, will and consciousness strong.”

“There are many methods to enhance both body and soul. However, will and consciousness… depend on the inner self; treasures and secret techniques are useless.” The towering old man sighed. “So after learning from my mistakes, I guided and nurtured your Earth human lineage. Your Earth human lineage is prone to improvement in terms of mind cultivation. Although your physical talent is quite ordinary among the entire human race, and even at the bottom in the vast universe, the strength of your will and consciousness is enough to tower over countless races in the universe.”

Luo Feng nodded.

In terms of mind cultivation, Earth humans indeed tower over countless races in the universe.

“The two treasures I gave you.”

“The Calamity Armor, although your body is strong, after becoming a true expert, it will still be somewhat inferior compared to your soul, so use the ‘Calamity Armor’ to enhance it!”

“The Star Tower, with a strong soul, willpower, and consciousness, you should naturally follow the path of a ‘Mental Controller’ or ‘Illusion Master.’ Your physical aspect is strong now, but once you become immortal, your soul will shine fully! The Star Tower is an extremely suitable treasure for you…”

“You and your second senior brother have four treasures in total. Among them, the Star Tower is the most complex, you will understand it slowly later.”

“Now, I will take you to a place.” With a thunderous sound, the towering old man stood up.

“Teacher, where to?” Luo Feng was somewhat puzzled.

“You’ll know when we get there.”

The towering old man took a step to the center of the hall. At the center of the hall, a twisted passage was created out of nowhere. The first disciple, the Cosmic Lord Puti, and the leader of the Earth human lineage, the third disciple Luo Feng, followed behind. They entered this twisted spatial passage together.

…

The passage twisted.

The three of them, the great beings of other races, flew like lightning through the passage. Moments later, they arrived at a mysterious area.

“Swish, swish, swish~~~~”

A hazy, colorful space.

At a glance, countless differently colored water droplets were slowly floating and hovering in the endless space. The towering old man, together with Puti and Luo Feng, appeared in this space out of nowhere.

“This is one of the spaces within the Star Tower.” The towering old man pointed to the various floating water droplets in the endless void. “Luo Feng, do you know what these are?”

“En?”

Luo Feng looked carefully. At a glance, there were millions of differently colored water droplets, so many that they were densely packed, scattered throughout the endless space, slowly floating.

“This… is the future of the Earth human lineage.” The towering old man sighed.

“The future of the Earth human lineage?” Luo Feng held his breath, looking at the millions of water droplets.

“Yes.”

The towering old man nodded. “The actual power of the ‘Calamity Armor’ I created for you, and the ‘Original Soul’ I created for your second senior brother, have not yet reached the level they should have. They are slightly weaker. The main reason is that these two treasures… have the ability to give birth to sub-units. I used more than half of the materials in forging them, specifically to grant them the ability to generate sub-units.”

“The Calamity Armor gives birth to Soldier Armor, General Armor, King Armor, and Emperor Armor.”

“The Original Soul gives birth to Soldier Soul, General Soul, King Soul, and Emperor Soul.”

“Of course, these names are just code names, just markers to distinguish the four different sub-units.” The towering old man smiled. “Those Soldier Armor, General Armor, King Armor, Emperor Armor can only be used by special races like the Flame God Clan, which I guided to evolve. Of course, you, who cultivate the ‘Nine Calamities Secret Manual,’ also belong to my school of evolution, and your evolution is even more advanced than that of the Flame God Clan. You can use them too.”

Luo Feng suddenly understood.

No wonder humans had never been able to figure them out, not even discovering fragments of Soldier Armor or General Armor. It turned out the usage conditions were too strict. The great being of other races created them especially for this evolutionary school.

“The Original Soul is the same.”

“I transformed Earth, making it a cradle.”

“The sub-units of the Original Soul… Soldier Soul, General Soul, King Soul, Emperor Soul… can only be used by Earth humans’ souls.” The towering old man sighed. “Except for you Earth humans, only the leader of the Flame God Clan, your second senior brother, has the ability to use Soldier Soul, General Soul, etc. Of course, he possesses the Original Soul and doesn’t care about those sub-units.”

“But—”

“These sub-units are very important to your Earth human lineage.”

“With them, the Earth human lineage can in the future cultivate a very formidable mental controller legion. Whether they become controllers or illusion masters, they will be extremely powerful. They can greatly reduce the mortality rate of Earth human elites, thus significantly increasing the probability of producing Cosmic Venerables!”

“Earth humans, with a bright future.”

“Because only those born and bred on Earth have such special souls. Earth is only so big, which limits the number of Earth humans to be very few. Being confined to a small planet… makes Earth humans, like the Flame God Clan, extremely rare in number. But the probability of becoming strong is very high. Given enough time, in the future when you become a super powerful being, under your protection, guidance, and cultivation, you will naturally be able to cultivate a powerful race.”

“Of course, whether you continue to stay within the human race or establish the Earth human lineage independently outside the human race is your choice.”

“However, all of this can only be achieved when you become a true overlord in the universe.”
