Luo Feng gazed at the countless droplets drifting in the endless void, as if seeing a future in which Earth’s lineage would produce generations of powerful warriors. Under his leadership, Earth’s lineage would gain widespread fame, becoming an undeniable force among the countless races of the vast universe!
“A towering building rises from the ground, yet the foundation determines whether a skyscraper can be built.”
“My foundation is already established!”
“I already possess the momentum!”
“It all depends on my own efforts now,” Luo Feng murmured. Looking across the vast universe, there were very few who could rival his resources and conditions. Within the human race, despite the existence of countless powerful warriors, including many Cosmic Sovereigns, treasures like the Star Tower and the Calamity Armor would never be left to a single Monarch-level cultivator at an early stage.
Even the most gifted individuals could not achieve that!
But the alien great being was a lone wanderer, not needing to consider the needs of an entire race. And clearly, his ability to accumulate wealth and treasures was not much different from that of an entire human race. To befriend such a powerful alien great being… even the Cosmic Sovereigns within the human race would be more than willing.
“Disciple Luo Feng,” the towering old man pointed to the countless droplets slowly floating around them, “there are a total of one million Soldier Souls, one hundred thousand General Souls, ten thousand King Souls, and one thousand Emperor Souls here. Similar to the Soldier Armors and General Armors of the Flame God Clan, these armors place immense burdens and strict demands on the physical body. However, these Soldier Souls, General Souls, and so on, place extremely high demands on the soul.”
“A Soldier Soul can be fully borne by an ordinary Human Monarch at peak power.”
“A General Soul requires a soul a hundred times stronger than a Human Monarch at peak power.”
“A King Soul requires a soul ten thousand times stronger than a Human Monarch at peak power.”
“An Emperor Soul requires a soul a million times stronger than a Human Monarch at peak power.”
The towering old man looked at Luo Feng, “My disciple, although you are only a Monarch, you possess a secret technique that amplifies your soul… In terms of will and consciousness, you have even passed the Life-and-Death Inheritance. Consciousness originates from the soul, so perhaps your consciousness is somewhat weaker, comparable only to an immortal god. However, in sheer willpower… many Cosmic Sovereigns may not even match you.”
The ‘Star Tower Inheritance’ was very special. The stronger the soul, the more intense the pain during the fusion process.
That was why the alien great being had captured a large group of test subjects. Among them were many Cosmic Sovereigns. Each of them had become a Cosmic Sovereign due to their powerful souls—how could they not be dominant figures, peerless heroes? Yet during the fusion process, despite their immense souls, they experienced unbearable pain and were utterly helpless, eventually perishing—dying swiftly and decisively.
On the contrary, Monarchs and Immortal Gods, with weaker souls, experienced correspondingly less pain during the inheritance process. Although they also perished, they at least managed to struggle for a while.
That was why the candidates were required to be either a Monarch or an Immortal God.
But Luo Feng had succeeded… His willpower had always been incredibly strong. Over the past six thousand years, it had continuously been tempered and improved. Especially around the 3200-year mark, his will underwent a transformation, making it so powerful that even some Cosmic Sovereigns could not match Luo Feng.
“The soul serves as the soldiers, the consciousness as the generals, and the will as the supreme commander. A stronger will and consciousness can unleash greater power. Although you are only a Monarch, with your soul amplified over 32 times, with your will and consciousness… using a General Soul should be more than sufficient,” the towering old man said. “You will take two General Souls—one for your Earth human clone, and one for your Gold-Horned Giant Beast clone. Wait until I arrange everything, then you may use them.”
“Yes, Master,” Luo Feng respectfully replied.
With a wave of his hand, he stored the two General Souls inside his world ring.
“Master, what about these Soldier Souls and General Souls…” Luo Feng hesitated slightly, but the nearby Cosmic Sovereign ‘Puti’ smiled and said, “Third junior apprentice brother, these Soldier Souls and General Souls are special treasures, their effects miraculous and rivaling many powerful artifacts. Unless you truly intend to begin cultivating the Earth human lineage, it’s best to leave these Soldier Souls and General Souls here, where they will be safest.”
“Hmm,” Luo Feng nodded, glancing at the countless floating droplets of four different colors. These were the future foundation of Earth’s lineage.
“Come with me, I’ll show you around the Star Tower!” The old man pointed forward. In the void filled with countless droplets, a boat began to form from nothingness. Starting with the bow, it rapidly extended toward the stern, its powerful energy naturally coalescing into a magnificent, elegant cruise ship over ten kilometers long. The ship radiated a mighty aura, leaving Luo Feng astonished.
“Board the ship,” the towering old man entered the vessel and sat cross-legged.
Standing over 900 meters tall, sitting on a ten-kilometer-long cruise ship was as natural as an ordinary person sitting on a thirty-meter-long boat. Luo Feng and Puti, however, seemed like tiny specks beside their master.
“A creation?” Luo Feng’s eyes were filled with shock. This cruise ship was even more powerful than the spaceship once ridden by the Nine-Sword Sovereign, yet it had been created so effortlessly.
“Surprised? Third junior apprentice brother, Master is one of the strongest beings in the universe. Even the laws of cosmic operation must yield before such existences. Around them, even the cosmic laws become useless. You should already feel it—you can no longer sense the fundamental laws of the universe,” Puti smiled at Luo Feng. “Moreover, Masters like him have already reached the point where their words shape reality. Within a certain range around them, it is not the fundamental laws of the universe that dictate things, but them!”
“Within a certain range, whatever laws Master decrees, those become the laws within that range!”
“If Master says fire can freeze people to death, then it can freeze people to death.”
“If Master says countless lives have reached their lifespan limit and must perish, then countless powerful beings will perish.”
“If Master says stars should vanish and planets should emit endless light, then that is what will happen.”
“If Master says the ultimate speed is no longer the speed of light, but ten times the speed of light, then within that area, ten times the speed of light becomes possible.”
“This is what is meant by ‘words shaping reality’!”
“Within a certain range around Master, the original laws of the universe no longer apply—Master controls everything.” Puti looked at Luo Feng’s stunned expression and laughed.
Luo Feng was completely astounded.
Words shaping reality?
This is what the strongest beings are like?
Whatever they say, it becomes reality?
The cosmic laws are no longer effective?
“Of course, they are not invincible as you might imagine. The endless universe operates according to its fundamental laws. These laws grant respect to the strongest beings, but only a certain level of privilege. They possess such authority only within a limited range around them. If they truly wish to defy the laws of the universe and oppose the entire cosmos, they would be signing their own death warrant.”
“In theory, with words shaping reality, couldn’t they kill countless powerful beings at will?”
“But even among Cosmic Sovereigns, those who truly control a space-time domain… it would be extremely difficult for even the strongest beings to kill them,” Puti transmitted mentally to Luo Feng.
…
As Luo Feng listened to Senior Apprentice Brother ‘Puti’ recount all this, he was filled with profound admiration and reverence, his entire perspective completely transformed. Previously, Luo Feng’s attention had primarily been focused on titled undying-level warriors and Cosmic Sovereigns, figures he could only gaze upon from a distance. Perhaps he had always harbored the aspiration to become a Cosmic Sovereign himself—wasn’t that the dream of every genius?
A soldier who doesn’t want to become a general is not a good soldier, but how many soldiers actually become generals?
Every genius harbors ambition and desire, but it remains only desire.
Luo Feng had always admired the great existence of Cosmic Sovereigns… but now, his senior apprentice brother and second apprentice brother were both Cosmic Sovereigns, and his Master was one of the strongest beings in the universe. Sitting beside them, listening to their conversations, he was hearing secrets from the highest levels of the vast universe.
“The Star Tower is nine light-years tall.”
“If you were to explore it slowly by yourself, who knows when you’d finish,” the towering old man, seated like a mountain, rumbled as he pointed around, “I will guide you—half a day will suffice. Watch carefully.”
Luo Feng sat aboard the cruise ship.
The ship’s speed far exceeded the speed of light. In theory, reaching light speed should have triggered entry into the dark universe, but it did not happen. Clearly, the alien great being had already adjusted the speed limit within his surrounding area. Such defiance of cosmic laws was something only the strongest beings in the universe could accomplish.
The most bizarre part was that Luo Feng could clearly see everything.
“Traveling faster than light, yet still seeing everything clearly?” Luo Feng couldn’t comprehend it at all. Everything defied the laws he had always been accustomed to, yet he continued to observe carefully.
The endless Star Tower.
In the infinite space, the forbidden zones occupied less than one percent of the area. The vast majority was filled with countless towering pillars stretching to the heavens. The shortest were several light-seconds long, while the longest exceeded an entire light-year!
These towering pillars were covered in endless intricate patterns, complex and magnificent, radiating a golden glow. Between these pillars were various oddly shaped treasures, each exuding a mighty aura. More numerous were the countless sealed stars, resembling ball bearings on a bicycle, orbiting various points. Each sealed star bore faint traces upon its surface.
The towering pillars formed the framework of a skyscraper!
The other treasures were like bricks, windows, and other decorative elements!
And the countless sealed stars served as buffers and intermediaries!
Intricate law patterns covered the pillars, threading through countless treasures and infinite sealed stars, like an incredibly complex and terrifying machine. When perfectly integrated, a heart-shaking treasure was born. The complexity of the visible patterns even surpassed those on the God Beast Statue.
Luo Feng spent a full day staring in awe.
“These law patterns…” Luo Feng held his breath.
“Though I spent countless eons and immense effort creating them,” the towering old man’s voice rumbled with admiration, “during the formation of this treasure, unexpected changes occurred beyond my control, changes even I cannot fully comprehend. This is the wonder of cosmic evolution. Luo Feng, my disciple, can you sense the entire Star Tower?”
“I can sense it.”
Luo Feng nodded. “After successfully establishing a master bond, I can sense it. Those sealed stars seem easy to obtain, and I can easily reach the various forbidden zones. However, when it comes to controlling the entire Star Tower… I always feel as if facing a mountain, unable to move it even slightly.”
“The Star Tower’s power is boundless,” the towering old man chuckled. “Your strength is still very weak—how could you possibly control it?”
Take the treasure “Calamity Armor” as an example. To control it, one’s physical strength must reach one hundred million times that of a Monarch! Only a Cosmic Sovereign can achieve that… When you reach the Immortal level, you will undoubtedly become an invincible king-tier warrior, even surpassing the so-called invincible kings of the cosmos. As you cultivate the Nine Calamities Secret Manual and become comparable to the universe’s special life forms, attaining such power at the Immortal level is only natural.
“But the Star Tower is ten to a hundred times more powerful than the Calamity Armor.”
“Controlling it is even more difficult.”
“To fully control the Star Tower…”
“Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!”
“Once you can fully control the complete Star Tower, even unleashing its weakest power—just a single strike—would kill Cosmic Sovereigns one after another,” the towering old man shook his head. “Right now, you are still too weak.”
