The life-saving talent secret method ‘Doppelgänger’ is regarded as a second body, rather than a mere puppet. The Doppelgänger must be nurtured within one’s ‘Inner World,’ akin to a woman becoming pregnant and giving birth, or the ancient legend of the universe being an egg that birthed Pangu. The principle is the same: the Doppelgänger must first develop into an embryo within the Inner World, gradually growing until it reaches full maturity.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast can possess up to three bodies throughout its life: one at the Stellar-Class level, a second at the Cosmic-Class level, and a third upon reaching the Realm Lord level.
Since the Doppelgänger can also gradually cultivate, there is no doubt that the first body cultivated is the most important!
Therefore, the bloodline selected is naturally also important.
For example, the first Doppelgänger of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast is usually chosen from an excellent bloodline. Because the conditions required to nurture an embryo are extremely low—one strand of hair or a drop of blood is sufficient, as long as it contains genetic material.
“Luofeng, are you sure you want to use your first Doppelgänger slot to cultivate an Earth human?” Babetta couldn’t help but ask. “Since just one strand of hair is enough for cultivation, in the future, you can easily find humans with powerful bloodlines, such as the Banka race. Although possessing their bodies is difficult, obtaining a single strand of their hair is quite easy. Undergoing plastic surgery to resemble you, Luofeng, is also very simple.”
“I’m sure!”
“The first Doppelgänger will be an Earth human.” Luofeng said, “And it will be cultivated using my own genetic material!”
Cultivating a Doppelgänger is extremely demanding.
Because, if the future cultivated body appears in the form of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, the other body must enter the ‘Inner World’. However, any being not cultivated within the Inner World will be killed upon entry! Unless… one reaches the Realm Lord level, where the Inner World becomes as real as the outside world, allowing living beings to enter it.
…
In the past, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast may have deemed Earth humans or Earth beasts unworthy of using up its three Doppelgänger slots, so it never cultivated any.
But Luofeng immediately began the process.
…
Inside the Golden-Horned Giant Beast.
A transparent crystal sphere, over twenty centimeters in diameter, covered in countless mysterious golden runes, radiated golden light. This transparent sphere was called the Origin Core, also known as the ‘Stellar Origin Core,’ ‘World Origin Core,’ or ‘Soul Origin Core.’ This Origin Core was the very essence of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast!
Even if its head were blown off or its body shattered, as long as the Origin Core and soul remained intact, it would not die.
Inside the Origin Core.
Vast as a starry sky, at its center was a dazzling, radiant sphere, slowly rotating like a star. This… was where Luofeng’s mental absorption teacher’s ‘Inheriting Soul Seal’ resided, where he had devoured the soul of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast and formed his own!
This star-like sphere was the soul core.
It represented… Luofeng’s mental strength reaching the ‘Stellar-Lord First Stage’! As for the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s genetic power (Primordial Energy), it was gathered in its golden horn on its forehead! The golden horn was the hardest part of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s body and the place where Primordial Energy was stored. Therefore, when the beast usually unleashed its innate secret techniques, its golden horn would light up first!
“My Inner World,” Luofeng sensed as his soul perfectly merged with his body…
A vast space within the Origin Core seemed to have an invisible connection to another world.
…
The Inner World.
It was an independent continent, about ten kilometers long and wide. Above the continent, at an altitude of ten kilometers, was entirely golden mist. The surrounding areas of the continent were also filled with endless golden mist. The continent itself was golden, and the land had some hills and mountains, all made of metal.
It was a metallic world!
Luofeng’s world!
“Ba Ba Ta, release my previous body,” Luofeng sent a mental wave to Ba Ba Ta outside, then used his ‘Devouring’ talent to directly pull his body into the Inner World.
Whoosh!
On a hill of the metallic continent, a body suddenly appeared—it was Luofeng’s body! As a Stellar-Class Third Stage warrior, after one or two months, his body had only become stiff, dark, and cold. As for the various items on his body, they had long been removed. What about the Mo Yun Vine? Because it couldn’t enter the storage space, it had been guarding his body outside all along.
“Talent ‘Doppelgänger,’ cultivate!”
With a thought from Luofeng.
Boom~~~
The entire metallic continent trembled. Luofeng’s former body floated in the high sky above the continent, as if lifted by an invisible force. This was one of the three rare chances in the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s life. The Inner World could only be used a second time upon reaching the Cosmic-Class level. Now, Luofeng had used the only chance he currently had to activate this talent and begin cultivating his Doppelgänger!
“Zzzt~~” Like vaporization.
Luofeng’s former body instantly vaporized in the high sky.
“Whoosh whoosh~~” The countless golden mists that had always floated high above the metallic continent and beyond now rushed madly toward the center, quickly enveloping the genetic material left after Luofeng’s body vaporized. In just a moment, it transformed into an oval-shaped golden egg.
“It has begun!”
After learning the talent secret method ‘Doppelgänger,’ Luofeng naturally knew some information. The time required to cultivate a body depended on his own strength and the genetic makeup of the body being cultivated! The stronger the Inner World, the faster the cultivation. The lower the genetic material, the easier it was to cultivate! Now, with his Inner World at the ‘Stellar-Lord First Stage,’ the cultivation speed wasn’t very fast.
Some races with noble bloodlines and powerful abilities might take hundreds or even thousands of years to cultivate a Doppelgänger!
Why so long?
Because cultivating a Doppelgänger wasn’t just creating an infant. For example, if a Realm Lord-level Golden-Horned Giant Beast took a hair from a Realm Lord-level human and cultivated a body, that body would be that of a Realm Lord-level warrior!
The genes were completely replicated! The body was completely replicated!
It might take tens of thousands of years to cultivate to the level of a Realm Lord, so completing the cultivation in a few hundred years was already amazing. The premise for cultivation was… you couldn’t cultivate a body stronger than yourself! At most, it could only match your own strength.
One day later.
“Hmm, judging by the progress, it should be completed in about one or two years,” Luofeng realized. At that time, he would have a body with exactly the same strength as before, with genetic material almost 99.99999% identical.
Only…
There was a very subtle difference. This body was cultivated within the Inner World, so its genetic material had a very minute change. However, even a DNA test would probably fail to detect that tiny difference between the two bodies.
…
In the vast cosmos, a massive star burned like a fireball, continuously radiating light and heat.
A silver-gray spaceship swiftly flew past a meteorite approximately five kilometers in diameter.
Inside the spaceship.
In a lounge room, a handsome middle-aged man sat on a chair with his eyes closed. A light on the auxiliary computer on his wrist faintly glowed, indicating that the captain’s consciousness had entered the ‘Virtual Cosmic Network,’ a truly magnificent existence.
The universe was vast and boundless.
Yet, through the ‘Virtual Cosmic Network,’ even if separated by millions of light-years, people could meet and communicate in the virtual universe. That was a 100% immersive virtual experience.
“Beep.” The indicator light on the auxiliary computer dimmed.
The handsome middle-aged man opened his eyes.
“Although it cost some money, I finally managed to buy the star map of this desolate region from a million years ago in the Milky Way,” the handsome man was excited. “Within a range of nearly a thousand light-years, it’s just a tiny fraction of the Silver-Blue Empire’s territory. Fortunately, there were two planets with life in this region back then.”
“Two life-bearing planets? This time, I really hit the jackpot.”
“Right, the nearest planet is quite close. At the current sub-light speed of the spaceship, it will take two years and eight months. The second life planet, however, will require 136 years.” The handsome man was slightly dissatisfied. Although his lifespan was over ten thousand years, spending over a hundred years was still a long time.
But, obtaining two life planets was already a great fortune!
“Two years and eight months!”
“Hoping there are some good goods to sell to the slave traders for a big profit. If there’s nothing valuable, I’ll just sell the entire planet.” The handsome man thought about it, and his eyes couldn’t help but sparkle with excitement.
A life planet was indeed very valuable!
…
Time passed.
The Inner World was cultivating a body, while Luofeng began studying and learning “Absolute Space” and “Primordial Heaven and Earth,” and using his hooves to devour large amounts of metal. In fact, ‘Devouring’ was initiated through the Origin Core, so whether using hooves, mouth, or tail, the Devouring Talent could be used.
It was just that the Golden-Horned Giant Beast preferred using its mouth.
As for Luofeng, he thought using his hooves was sufficient.
…
Meanwhile, the adventure spaceship was flying through the cosmos, continuously heading toward the star region where Earth was located.
…
On Earth.
September 12, 2060.
“Dear viewers, the Jiangnan First Hospital behind me is where Xu Xin, the wife of our Yangzhou pride ‘Luofeng,’ one of the Eight Heroes, is currently expecting. It is said that the ward where Xu Xin is staying is the most luxurious VIP ward in the First Hospital, with an appointment fee alone costing 2 million Huaxia coins.”
“The monthly rental fee is as high as 12 million Huaxia coins. If we include the costs of medical staff and fetal care, it is estimated that Xu Xin’s monthly expenses during her pregnancy at the hospital will reach tens of millions of Huaxia coins! It is reported that the president of Jiangnan First Hospital said that they will offer the lowest 30% discount for Xu Xin’s stay at their hospital!”
…
“Friends watching at home, our reporters have already arrived at Jiangnan First Hospital. It is said that Xu Xin’s delivery might be in the next few days. According to our inside sources and secret information obtained after consulting with relevant doctors, it is rumored that Xu Xin is expecting twins. The previous rumors about triplets were false.”
…
At 8:15 a.m. on September 15, 2060.
Xu Xin was wheeled into the delivery room.
Outside the Jiangnan First Hospital, there were so many media members that it was overwhelming, and even some foreign journalists had arrived. After all, among the Eight Heroes, only Luofeng’s wife Xu Xin was pregnant, and Luofeng had sacrificed himself. Now that her child was about to be born, it naturally drew global attention.
Countless netizens and even ordinary elderly people around the world were speculating…
Luofeng was already so talented, so what about his child? What would they be like in the future?
Even before birth, Luofeng’s child had already become the focus!
…
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast, already 230 meters long, transformed into a golden blur, flashing rapidly through the sea, practicing “Absolute Space” diligently.
“Luofeng, Luofeng,” Ba Ba Ta called urgently.
“What’s wrong?” Luofeng stopped.
The giant dark golden eyes showed a hint of confusion.
“Good news, great news. Xu Xin has just given birth to two children, and both mother and children are safe! Your eldest son weighs seven jin and six taels, and your second son weighs six jin and one tael.” Ba Ba Ta said excitedly.
