China Standard Time, October 29th, 8:30 AM.
The autumn air was crisp and refreshing, and the weather was perfect.
Today, West Lake Villa had become the center of the entire Earth. The military had already surrounded the villa with heavy security, and the surrounding streets were under strict curfew. Fighter jets from various countries and base cities landed one after another on the villa’s lawn, and the leaders of the five major world powers gathered here.
Because today, Luo Feng, one of Earth’s three strongest warriors, was holding an important meeting here.
…
Luo Feng’s elite personal guard remained inside the castle’s west wing, none of them stepping out to interrupt the proceedings.
The large number of personnel responsible for hospitality were specially arranged by the Chinese government.
In the main hall of the castle, the first-floor conference chamber.
The lights were dazzling.
Around the massive round table, many national leaders and base city leaders stood chatting enthusiastically.
Earth had five major powers, plus 23 independent base cities.
These independent base cities mainly originated from Asia, South America, and Africa, and people of various ethnicities—Black, White—were conversing with one another. Meanwhile, Luo Feng, the host, and his two brothers, Hong and Thunder God, stood at the entrance of the castle hall, personally welcoming each attending leader.
At 9:00 AM, the meeting officially began.
“Boom!”
In the center of the large round table, a sudden explosion in midair startled all the leaders. However, from the explosion, the air gradually calmed, revealing a three-dimensional holographic projection—a vast starry cosmos.
“Everyone!”
Luo Feng stood up, with Hong and Thunder God sitting beside him. After scanning the eyes of all the leaders present, he spoke in a deep voice, “The importance of today’s meeting is no less than the Great Nirvana or the battle against the Devourer.”
Gasps and murmurs spread through the crowd.
“Look,” Luo Feng pointed at the starry projection above the table, “This is the universe—an endless, boundless universe! I believe everyone here is aware that humanity and life exist in the cosmos. And I suspect many of you know a great deal more than you let on.”
“Earth is one of over two hundred thousand planets in the Milky Way that harbor life,” Luo Feng stated directly. The virtual projection rapidly displayed images of planets, including silhouettes of planets like Baelan. Then, all the planets shrank, revealing the grand image of the entire Milky Way galaxy.
“And the Milky Way, along with the Beta System and six other star systems, together form the Yinlan Empire!” As Luo Feng spoke, a wave of shock swept through the entire room.
An empire ruling over eight star systems?
How powerful it must be!
How many times greater than Earth, this tiny speck of a planet.
As Luo Feng listened to the murmurs of the leaders, he continued solemnly, “However… the Yinlan Empire is actually very weak. It is among the lowest tiers of cosmic nations—extremely weak.”
“How could that be?”
“The lowest tier?”
“That’s an empire spanning eight star systems, each with over two hundred thousand life-bearing planets. Such an enormous empire,” the leaders, especially those from the base cities who had known little before, were now completely stunned.
Luo Feng continued coldly describing the universe.
Half an hour later,
The conference hall was silent.
“I will now introduce a race to you all,” Luo Feng pointed at the space above the table. Instantly, the projection changed, displaying a massive planet with countless figures flying across its surface. “This is one of the planets where a human race known as the Heimeng Clan resides. The Heimeng Clan has an incredibly large number of Star-Level warriors—hundreds of thousands.”
“And among them are Stellar-Class warriors!”
“Their numbers of Stellar-Class warriors and mentalists are even more astonishing! Many of them are at the fifth and sixth stages of Stellar-Class! Do you know what fifth and sixth stage Stellar-Class means? It means each of them is as powerful as the Devourer we once faced!”
“Among the Heimeng Clan, there are countless warriors even stronger than the Devourer!”
Luo Feng’s description left the leaders deeply curious.
They had just begun to grasp the vastness of the universe, and now Luo Feng introduced a race—many of the leaders assumed this must be a powerful race in the cosmos.
“Truly formidable! So many warriors matching the Devourer’s strength!”
“Millions of warriors surpassing the War God level? That’s insane!”
“Absolutely insane.”
“Is reaching the Star-Level really that easy? Earth doesn’t even have a hundred combined!”
The leaders from various countries and base cities gazed enviously at the holographic projections.
When would Earth ever reach the level of the Heimeng Clan?
Earth didn’t even have a single Stellar-Class warrior!
A Star-Level warrior of the first stage on Earth was considered a War God Council Member—equal in status to a national leader! Yet among the Heimeng Clan, they were countless. Didn’t you see the sky above their planet filled with Star-Level warriors?
“The Heimeng Clan is a race enslaved in the universe,” Luo Feng’s voice was low and heavy.
The leaders in the hall froze.
A race thousands or even millions of times stronger than Earth was enslaved?
“Their entire race lives in slavery! They are slaves, and their descendants for generations remain slaves! They are implanted with ‘biological chips’ that control them, sold like commodities—generation after generation, unable to rise from their chains!” Luo Feng’s voice was as cold as if rising from the depths of hell, causing all present to shudder involuntarily.
Many leaders began to sweat nervously.
Generations upon generations—endless!
Slaves, sold like livestock!
“Mr. Luo, may I ask how you know all this?” The female Prime Minister of the European Union stood up.
“Because I once traveled to the universe,” Luo Feng replied solemnly. “But I was so terrified by the cruelty I witnessed that I returned.”
Gasps filled the hall.
He had entered the vast universe?
Luo Feng had been there?
“Everyone,” Luo Feng looked around at the leaders, “I believe you all understand what I’m trying to tell you. As for whether you believe it or not… it’s simple!”
He turned his head toward the door. “Bring it in!”
Instantly, a staff member carried a black helmet into the room.
“An Ego-Sensing Helmet?”
Some of the leaders recognized it.
“This is not the Earth-made replica,” Hong, standing beside him, spoke up. “This is the original helmet from the universe. Experts from various countries who have worked on Ego-Sensing devices will confirm that this is indeed a product of the cosmos. Many of its materials are simply unattainable on Earth.”
“This is what I brought back from other planets in the universe,” Luo Feng looked at the leaders from various countries. “Using the Ego-Sensing Helmet, each nation can send one representative to enter the ‘Virtual Cosmic Network’ with their consciousness.”
“I have already explained the concept of the Virtual Cosmic Network before.”
Luo Feng’s words caused a wave of excitement among the leaders.
Entering the Virtual Cosmic Network?
This was Earth’s first true connection to the vast universe, a gateway to countless cosmic secrets.
“Mr. Luo,” the Chinese Head of State was visibly excited, “how many helmets do you have?”
“I can provide six Ego-Sensing Helmets,” Luo Feng looked around the room. “Each of the five major powers will receive one, and each of the 23 base cities will have one day of trial use per month. You can coordinate the details among yourselves.” Luo Feng had planned this from the beginning when purchasing the helmets.
To allow all of humanity on Earth to progress rapidly, they must be exposed to the outside world!
And entering the Virtual Cosmic Network was an excellent way to do so. Moreover, these unregistered accounts could be used by anyone.
However…
None of the countries had cosmic currency, so even if they entered the Virtual Cosmic Network, they could only access basic free information and could not make purchases or engage in other transactions.
“Mr. Luo,” the African-American President of the United States was visibly excited, “you’re absolutely right. This is no less significant for Earth than the Great Nirvana. Entering the ‘Virtual Cosmic Network’ is our first step—and a crucial step—toward connecting with the universe.”
“I haven’t even told you the most important part yet,” Luo Feng said.
Silence.
All the leaders in the hall stared at Luo Feng, eager to hear what else he had to say.
“I possess a rare substance called ‘Purple Light Dew.’ Consuming ten grams of it can transform a high-level martial arts academy student into a ‘Martial Artist.'”
“Hmm?”
“Is that all it does?”
“Can that even be considered a treasure?”
Some of the leaders couldn’t help but whisper among themselves, while others continued to watch Luo Feng.
Earth already had substances more potent than Purple Light Dew, such as the ‘Spirit of the Forest,’ which Luo Feng had once used to elevate his family members to the second and third stages of apprenticeship. Its effects were indeed far superior. However, the Spirit of the Forest was extremely rare, and even War Gods rarely possessed it.
Its scarcity rendered it practically useless.
“I have a massive quantity of it,” Luo Feng added.
The group of leaders was stunned.
“How much? How many people can use it?” A leader from an African base city couldn’t help but ask.
“Worldwide!”
Luo Feng said gravely, “I can supply Purple Light Dew to every high-level martial arts academy student on Earth. As long as someone becomes a high-level academy student, consuming the Purple Light Dew will allow them to become a Martial Artist!”
“Every single one on Earth?”
“Supplied worldwide?”
“Heavens!”
“This… this…”
Many rulers grasped a fundamental principle: the mightier the artifact, the scarcer its existence. Indeed, Luo Feng had expended 800 million Black Dragon Coins to procure such an immense quantity of Violet Nectar. On mundane worlds like Baelan, even the most affluent elites seldom commanded such wealth. This staggering volume of Violet Nectar was nothing short of miraculous.
“The general population to high-level martial arts academy student ratio is approximately 100:1. That means Earth could potentially produce nearly 70 million Martial Artists!”
“70 million?”
“Even more than that. Many people gave up on becoming Martial Artists because they thought it was hopeless. But if they knew that becoming a high-level academy student could break through, they would work even harder! The ratio might even reach 50:1, meaning Earth could have over 100 million Martial Artists! Humanity’s genetic evolution would accelerate rapidly—millions of times faster than our previously estimated evolutionary model.”
The group of leaders was utterly ecstatic.
This was far more exciting than any amount of money or material wealth.
“Ten grams per person. One kilogram serves 100 people. One ton can supply 100,000 people! I will initially provide nearly 7,000 tons of Purple Light Dew to various countries according to one-tenth of their population proportions,” Luo Feng said.
“7,000 tons of Purple Light Dew?”
The leaders of various countries seemed to see the dawn of humanity’s great evolution.
…
That very day, Luo Feng distributed a certain amount of Purple Light Dew to various countries and base cities according to their population sizes. Humanity’s great evolutionary journey on Earth officially began!
All nations saw the dawn of humanity’s rise.
Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God looked forward to it eagerly.
…
As various regions on Earth began pilot trials of the Purple Light Dew and marveled at its miraculous effects, on November 23rd at 9:30 AM, China Standard Time,
In the vast expanse of the Solar System, a silver-gray, disc-shaped spacecraft approached Earth.
“How beautiful this planet is—its deep blue color is truly captivating.”
Inside the spacecraft’s control room,
A tall, handsome captain wearing a silver combat suit wore a look of delight as he gazed at the stunning blue planet displayed on the external view screen. “It’s intoxicating—I love it! Yes, I love it! Because it will bring me status, and it will bring me wealth!” The other crew members were already howling with excitement, far too ecstatic to indulge in poetic musings like the captain.
Yes!
This was a planet with no owner. To these cosmic adventurers, what a wonderful thing it was!
