Chapter 265: Half a Year Later

“The universe is fair.”

“It grants them immortal bodies from birth, yet forever bars them from cultivation and progress. Should they seek to cultivate, they must forsake their original forms and undergo ‘Duo She’—Body Usurpation,” Babata explained. “Though cultivation eludes them, one can scarcely fathom the allure of an eternal form. Consider the offspring of Immortal-tier powerhouses—some may only reach Cosmic-level with a mere ten epochs of lifespan. Naturally, such parents would yearn for their children’s souls to inherit an undying vessel.”

Luo Feng nodded.

Being unable to increase in strength but living for a thousand epochs, which is 1,008,000 years, is also highly tempting.

“In the cosmos, Immortal-level powerhouses or mighty civilizations have delved into the eternal forms of these races through countless methods. Ultimately, they extract a singular genetic essence from these immortal vessels. Sealed within ‘Frostsilver,’ it crystallizes into those silver talismans—known as ‘Eternal Devotion,’ among the most priceless treasures in the universe. After all, only one eternal form can yield but a single fragment.” Babata spoke.

Luo Feng instantly understood…

The races born with eternal bodies are probably pitiful in the universe.

“In the universe, many possess power and influence.”

“Longevity is the pursuit of countless people.”

“Body Usurpation is one method, but it is both precious and difficult to cultivate.” Babata said. “Luo Feng, you were only able to perform Body Usurpation because your teacher transformed your soul with the ‘Inheriting Soul Seal’ and provided you with the inheritance. Only then could you practice the Body Usurpation technique.”

“Obtaining and mastering the Body Usurpation technique is no easier than purchasing a ‘Eternal Love.'”

“Moreover, the body obtained through usurpation is generally weaker than your original body.” Babata continued. “The most important thing is that usurpation carries risks; you might end up destroyed instead.”

“Nothing compares to ‘Eternal Love.’ A single ‘Eternal Love’ can directly transform your original body into an ‘Eternal Body.’ Of course, once you become an Eternal Body, you can no longer cultivate.” Babata explained. “If you wish to cultivate, you must abandon the Eternal Body and enter another body.”

“This unique genetic substance can only be extracted from naturally born Eternal Bodies. As for transformed Eternal Bodies like Xu Xin’s, it cannot be extracted again.” Babata added.

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

That made sense.

Otherwise, if someone with a transformed Eternal Body lived for ten million years and was about to die, could they just extract the genetic substance again? That would be a dream.

“You mean Xu Xin now has a lifespan of one thousand epochs?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes, and her body is immortal. To kill her, you must destroy her soul.” Babata said. “Although ‘Eternal Love’ is precious, with your teacher’s status, storing a few portions of ‘Eternal Love’ wouldn’t be difficult. Having you wear ‘Eternal Love’ was actually arranged by your teacher before his death.”

“Even if your body is shattered, the ‘Eternal Love’ can reconstruct your broken body and keep it together. This is a life-saving technique.”

“However, I was worried that relying on ‘Eternal Love,’ you would lack a sense of crisis and wouldn’t be motivated to train. That’s why I never told you about the effects of ‘Eternal Love.'”

“Unexpectedly, in the end, you actually abandoned your body and launched a soul attack! ‘Eternal Love’ couldn’t save you.”

Luo Feng smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Luo Feng was well aware that even Xu Xin couldn’t become a warrior. Despite having treasures like the Spirit of Grass and Wood and the Muya Crystals, she barely managed to reach the Stellar-level. Now, although she can’t cultivate, she has obtained an Eternal Body.

In the Mingyue Community of Yangzhou City, at Luo Feng’s home.

Xu Xin sat at the desk, somewhat dazed.

“What’s going on?” Xu Xin’s mind was in a mess.

Suddenly, the laptop screen, which was open, displayed a notification of a new email. And eerily… the email opened automatically.

“Xu Xin, it’s me, Luo Feng.”

The first line of text at the top of the email document startled Xu Xin, and she slightly frowned… She clearly knew that some of the top people on Earth had AIs; Luo Feng had one too! Letters, phone calls, videos, etc., were hard to convince her, because her older brother Xu Gang had done such things before.

“I know you’re suspicious, but just now you committed suicide, and the amulet I gave you should have taken effect, so you’re alive again. And that amulet should have disappeared.”

Xu Xin was stunned and immediately touched her chest, looking down…

Indeed, the amulet was gone, only the clasp remained. This made Xu Xin show a trace of shock and surprise!

Knowing that she had just committed suicide and was alive again, could it really be Luo Feng? Could it be that Luo Feng is not dead?

“I know you’re suspicious, but in six months, I should be coming home, at the latest seven months.”

“Okay, remember, don’t do anything stupid.”

“Luo Feng.”

After reading the email, Xu Xin felt as if her withered heart had been filled with a spring of spiritual water; the originally black-and-white world suddenly became colorful, and the future was suddenly full of hope!

“Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s true.” Obviously, the event of dying and coming back to life made Xu Xin more convinced. “Six months, at the latest seven months?”

“I need to tell the in-laws, tell Luohua and the others this good news.” Xu Xin was extremely excited.

That day, after Luo Feng’s family read this email, although they were all shocked by Xu Xin’s suicide and scolded her, the content of the email filled the whole family with hope. Although they suspected whether it was a forgery by an AI system, they still waited for the six months to pass.

On the evening of March 9, 2061.

As night fell, Luo Feng’s family were all at home having dinner, filled with laughter.

“Mom and Dad, don’t rush me. Today I rarely come home for dinner, and you’re rushing me. Alright, I’ll tell you. This summer vacation, I and Zhen Nan will get our marriage certificate.” Luohua smiled happily. Nowadays, Luohua had another house in the Mingyue Community, after all, his sister-in-law lives here, it’s not convenient for him to stay at home anymore.

Moreover, with his status, getting a house was very simple, not to mention he was also a warrior.

“This is the way to go.”

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan both smiled. Nearby, the two babies in the stroller were crawling around inside, laughing foolishly.

“Where is Xu Xin not back yet?” Gong Xinlan couldn’t help but look outside.

“Nowadays, this child Xu Xin is devoted to her work, which is also a good thing.” Luo Hongguo smiled. Gong Xinlan nodded in agreement, thinking… if she committed suicide again, it would be troublesome.

Suddenly—

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan’s eyes instantly dimmed. Thud! Thud! Thud! A team of bodyguards in the courtyard outside all collapsed directly, and the two nannies in the house were also instantly felled, and Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan also lowered their heads on the table, motionless.

Silence reigned!

Only the sounds of the two babies remained in the villa.

“Who!” Luohua coldly looked outside.

“Hello, Mr. Luo.”

Two men in black suits smiled as they walked in, as if they were walking in their own home. One of them was a white man, while the other looked very much like a South Asian, and the South Asian man smiled, “Don’t worry, they were just instantly hypnotized by me, I didn’t kill them.”

“The two honorable members of parliament have come in person, I wonder what business you have?” Luohua said in a low voice.

“No particular matter, just to take away some things that belong to a Stellar-level warrior, things that ordinary mortals are not worthy of using.” The South Asian smiled. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill anyone, but… I hope you can stay calm. Once you command that metal robot, I can only instantly make these people…”

“Boom!” The South Asian made an exaggerated expression. “Their souls will all explode.”

“Sago Nehru, now you are the only Stellar-level mentalist on Earth, is it really necessary to do something like this?” Luohua said in a low voice, well aware that no matter how fast the metal robot is, it cannot match the speed of a mentalist’s thoughts.

Sago Nehru.

India’s mentalist genius, since Luo Feng and East fell, this Sago Nehru, who had just broken through recently, became the only Stellar-level mentalist.

“Necessary, of course it’s necessary.” Sago smiled. “Mr. Luo, you must know something about the current global situation. Do you think… your Luo family can remain unscathed just because you possess the treasures left by Luo Feng? Moreover, leaving these treasures in your Luo family would only be a waste.”

“Hmm, Muya Crystal?” Sago showed a slight smile. “It’s hidden underground in the basement?”

“Oh, eighteen Muya Crystals? And quite a few Spirit of Grass and Trees? What a grand gesture, no wonder it’s Luo Feng’s legacy.” Sago marveled.

Luohua’s expression turned dark.

He understood, it was the other party who had located them through mental power.

“How do you control that metal robot?” Sago looked at Luohua.

“The metal robot cannot be controlled by anyone.” Luohua shook his head. “Not even me. My older brother gave it the command to protect the Luo family. It will forever obey my older brother’s command.”

“Oh.”

Sago nodded slightly, he could understand.

Suddenly—

The basement door opened automatically, and a briefcase floated out. Sago reached out and caught it.

“Thank you.”

Sago smiled slightly. “Let me give you a piece of advice. You can only possess treasures as great as your strength. Otherwise… well, as for that robot, it’s powerful. But after all, it’s just a robot. Oh, even if we’re hundreds of meters apart, I can instantly destroy the souls of all your family members.”

“So, don’t do anything foolish.”

“Vino, let’s go.” Sago turned and walked away, with Vino following closely behind.

Luohua watched as Vino and Sago left, not daring to make any move.

The flying saucer fighter jet was only 300 meters away from his home. Even from the jet, Sago could instantly kill every member of the Luo family with his mental powers.

“Damn it!”

Standing by the window, watching the flying saucer jet disappear into the sky, Luohua’s face was grim.

Fortunately, he had divided the 60 Muya Crystals into several portions and hidden them in different places. The 18 Muya Crystals were already shocking enough for those council members. After all, even the Muya Crystals obtained by ‘Hong’ and ‘Thunder’ in the past were barely over ten.

“What happened just now?”

“What’s wrong with me?”

The guards, nannies, and Luo Hongguo’s parents woke up. Luohua comforted his parents and others but did not tell them the truth.

There was no way…

Luohua could only endure. For warriors, the metal robot could intercept faster! But against the soul attacks of mentalists, the metal robot couldn’t intercept in time.

The conversation and events were monitored by the metal robot, automatically transmitted to Babata, and naturally known to Luo Feng as well!

“Vino? Sago Nehru?”

The golden-horned beast, over 300 meters long, surged in the raging sea, its dark golden eyes burning with fury. “Babata, you said they are now following the Fifth Council Leader ‘Atkin,’ that cowardly turtle, who has always kept a low profile. Even during the Devourer incident, he didn’t show his head. Now he dares to be so ambitious! I despised him back then, now…”

“Atkin! Nehru!”

Luo Feng was furious.

Previously, he had been unable to see his family and felt deeply guilty towards them. Unexpectedly, people like Atkin, driven by ambition, would threaten his family’s lives.

Despite his rage, Luo Feng had to endure! Although each day felt like a year while holding back his fury.

Finally…

The first clone was successfully cultivated. June 2, 2061, was the day Luo Feng emerged from his shell!
