“You all go rest first. Let me think things through,” Luo Feng said.
Luo Ping and Luo Hai exchanged glances before obediently retreating, leaving only their mother, Xu Xin, beside Luo Feng.
…
As the two brothers walked out, Luo Ping couldn’t help but say, “Brother, why did you tell Father about this? Father has survived countless life-and-death trials over the past six thousand years, and only now has he returned safely. You bringing up such matters only adds to his troubles. Don’t you know how formidable the backers of these immigrants are?”
“I, I… I was just upset,” Luo Hai replied weakly.
“Upset? How many times have you actually returned to Earth over all these years? You’ve spent most of your time exploring the universe. Now that you’ve become a Monarch, Father has bestowed upon you numerous secret treasures and artifacts—of course you’re powerful. What’s more, Mother, concerned for your safety, even arranged for an immortal plant lifeform to accompany you as protection. Even disregarding your personal strength, with your status while traversing the cosmos, which of the mighty would dare provoke you? You’ve always lived freely and comfortably, never encountering any real setbacks!”
“But Father is different from you.
“Father is the pillar of our Luo family and of all Earthlings! He’s at the center of attention, attracting jealousy. In the universe, he’s coveted by powerful alien beings, each wanting to assassinate him. Father constantly risks his life while exploring the universe. When he finally returns home, shouldn’t you let him rest peacefully? Isn’t it just a matter of enduring some bullying? We Earthlings endure it, and it will pass. As long as Father grows stronger, those alien immigrants will naturally become fearful. After Father conquered the Monarch-level Primordial Heaven Mountain, those aliens clearly became much more restrained. If we just endure, endure until Father becomes a supreme being in the universe… all these troubles will vanish.”
Luo Ping looked at his brother. “As his family, we shouldn’t bring him trouble. Father has already endured enough.”
“Yeah,” Luo Hai showed some regret. “I just couldn’t stand it…”
“Who could stand it?”
Luo Ping shook his head. “This is just how the world is: might makes right! Many of those immigrants have terrifying backers. It’s said that some are even connected to the top levels of the Virtual Universe Company and the Axe-Battle Arena! Those are the highest echelons! How could those privileged nobles look down on us? They only respect Father with caution.”
“Yeah,” Luo Hai nodded.
“Wait, wait until Father becomes a supreme being, and all those petty villains will behave themselves,” Luo Ping sighed. He didn’t expect Father to have any specific solutions.
It’s said that Yama (the King of Hell) is easy to deal with, but the little devils are hard to handle.
Those great beings high above have existed for eternal ages, their families having gone through countless generations. How many descendants of those family founders have actually seen them? Though unseen, their innate pride is natural. Just like Luo family members, who naturally carry a sense of pride because of Luo Feng, they’re proud because of him.
And those families whose founders are Cosmic Lords can only be imagined to have even greater arrogance.
Moreover, on Earth, these privileged nobles are a whole group!
…
In the great floating city in the central Pacific Ocean.
“What is that Luo Feng?” A winged man in azure armor sat on the throne, gripping its armrest, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
“Master, don’t be angry,” A woman with purple hair, wearing only a thin veil revealing her alluring figure, walked over with a smile. “Luo Feng is the direct disciple of Chaos City Lord. It’s normal for him to be proud. However, no matter how proud he is, he can’t do anything to us. We immigrants in these floating cities come from five major powers. Many are descendants of families of the Cosmic Lords. Although they’re only junior members of their families, they’re not someone Luo Feng can provoke.”
“Hmph.”
The azure-armored man finally showed a hint of a smile. He waved his hand, and the purple-haired woman flew into his arms. Immediately, they were about to indulge in passion right there in the grand hall.
Suddenly, a voice came: “Jie Li Wang!”
“Huh?” The azure-armored man frowned as he looked outside, putting down the beauty in his arms with some dissatisfaction. “Feng Chen Wang, do you have something to discuss with me?”
The four-armed middle-aged man, Feng Chen Wang, walked in. Entering the hall, his voice boomed: “Jie Li Wang, regardless of anything, Luo Feng is a member of our Virtual Universe Company, and also the direct disciple of Chaos City Lord. Don’t go too far. If you cause any trouble, can you bear the consequences?”
“I don’t believe he dares provoke me!” Jie Li Wang stood up abruptly.
“Hmph.”
Feng Chen Wang looked at him coldly. “Jie Li Wang, wake up. Although you and I are both descendants of Cosmic Lords, our families have multiplied for countless eons, with billions upon billions of members. Although you and I are both Immortal Kings, considered elites of our families, if we were truly elite… we wouldn’t have been assigned to guard Earth, protecting a bunch of couples and infants!”
Jie Li Wang was momentarily speechless.
“Let me ask you, have you ever seen the progenitor of your family, ‘Void Gold Lord’?” Feng Chen Wang asked.
Jie Li Wang’s face darkened.
“I haven’t seen my family’s progenitor either,” Feng Chen Wang sighed. “For Cosmic Lords, eternal beings, their offspring and family members are countless. What are we compared to them? Sometimes, we need to be more low-key.”
“However, even when beating a dog, one must consider its master. We immigrants are also considered elites of our families and represent the faces of various Cosmic Lords. No one dares to mess with us,” Feng Chen Wang continued. “But you shouldn’t be too arrogant. It’s fine to act against other Earthlings, but regarding Luo Feng, we should show some respect. The provocations you initiated earlier were completely unnecessary… Who doesn’t know Luo Feng’s appearance? Yet you deliberately made him reveal his identity, making the provocation obvious to all.”
“Enough.”
Jie Li Wang’s expression turned grim. “It’s just Luo Feng. He’s merely a Monarch at present. I refuse to believe he can grow that powerful! Is the path of a true powerhouse really so simple? Every step is fraught with peril. The more exceptional he appears, the more the alien races will seek to eliminate him! Not to mention all the other dangers… even comprehending the laws to attain Cosmic Noble status is tremendously difficult! Among Chaos City Lord’s direct disciples, many have failed to achieve Cosmic Noble rank!”
“Don’t bother me anymore… It’s only because Luo Feng and you are both from the Virtual Universe Company that you’re defending him.”
“Hmph.” Feng Chen Wang’s face changed as he immediately turned and left the hall.
Jie Li Wang merely snorted coldly at this scene.
“Proud Earthlings,” Jie Li Wang looked through the hall at the endless void, also seeing the distant Earthling settlements on the continent. “Even with Luo Feng behind you, you can’t change the inferiority of your bloodline. When the day Luo Feng perishes comes, I really want to see the look of despair on your faces. Then… there will be plenty of ways to make you leave Earth!”
“Luo Feng?
“Just see how long you can remain smug.” Jie Li Wang was filled with resentment. The neglect from his family had caused him much frustration. Compared to Luo Feng’s shining brilliance, it naturally made him resent Luo Feng’s success and wish to see Luo Feng’s future misery.
…
In the palace filled with swirling currents above Thunder Island in the Virtual Universe.
Luo Feng was respectfully entering the hall.
“Teacher.” Luo Feng respectfully saluted.
“Something on your mind?” The voice of Chaos City Lord came.
“Disciple has a matter to request of Teacher.” Luo Feng said respectfully.
From the depths of the hall, a figure emerged from the swirling currents. It was Chaos City Lord himself, dressed in golden robes: “You’ve faced many dangers and troubles on the battlefield, yet you’ve never come to me before. Deep down, you dislike asking others for help. Speak then… what brings you to me now?” Chaos City Lord indeed valued Luo Feng much more now, ever since Luo Feng’s eruption of power, easily killing an Immortal King at the peak, even fighting against Heiwu King.
This made Chaos City Lord realize…
That his disciple must be hiding something! Otherwise, how could a mere Monarch, even with an extraordinary will and consciousness, even with armor, even with 20 layers of law comprehension, so easily kill an Immortal King at the peak? And how could he fight Heiwu King and only be at a disadvantage? Regarding his disciple’s secrecy, Chaos City Lord wasn’t the slightest bit annoyed. Everyone has their own private matters they don’t wish to reveal, and he could understand.
He also realized that Luo Feng’s future achievements might be astonishing, so he helped Luo Feng cover up the mess, giving him the real identity of ‘Dao He Wang’.
“It’s like this, disciple encountered some incidents upon returning to my hometown Earth this time, making me realize… the contradictions between immigrants from other planets and the original Earthlings are irreconcilable,” Luo Feng said respectfully. “Disciple couldn’t resolve it, so I’ve come to seek Teacher’s help.”
A request is a request.
Stated openly and straightforwardly. A figure like Chaos City Lord wouldn’t be offended. Being roundabout would only produce a worse effect.
“This trivial matter… indeed, those immigrants mostly come from powerful families, and you shouldn’t provoke them. Alright, I’ll issue an order right away,” the Chaos City Lord nodded. “I know you care about your hometown and family. I’ll help you resolve these concerns. You don’t need to worry about anything else… becoming a true powerhouse is what you should focus on!”
“Yes, Teacher. Disciple will certainly do my utmost.” Luo Feng was delighted internally. His Teacher had agreed too readily.
“Go then.” Chaos City Lord nodded.
Luo Feng respectfully saluted, then withdrew.
Watching his disciple leave, Chaos City Lord’s face revealed a faint smile. His disciple had never sought help from Teacher before, and now finally came for help, over such a trivial matter.
“Thinking of home and family… As long as our human race treats him well, he will naturally dedicate himself wholeheartedly to fighting for our kind,” the Chaos City Lord nodded slightly. Among the supreme powerhouses, there were also some ungrateful individuals who, once they became strong, would only care for themselves and ignore the perils facing their own race.
Like the historical Yan Shen Clan’s ‘Yan Di’, originally a human, who eventually led the entire Yan Shen Clan to break away from humanity, becoming a local overlord. This greatly angered the peak existences of the human race. However, one reason was that Yan Di’s strength was indeed formidable, and another was that behind him was an even more terrifying alien expert, so humanity could only endure.
…
Half a day later, an order had already been issued to the temple guarding Earth, as well as to the management of immigrants and original Earthlings on Earth.
The order was simple—
From the moment this order is issued, immigrants are forbidden from stepping into land areas and their airspace. Original Earthlings are forbidden from stepping into oceanic areas and their airspace. Violators… will be executed!
“What!” The azure-armored man, Jie Li Wang, who was just playing with his beauty, had just received this order and immediately roared in fury.
