Yangzhou City, Jiangnan Base, Times Square. The square was filled with wreaths and flowers.
The “Devouring Beast Catastrophe,” this great calamity, posed an even greater threat to humanity than the “Great Nirvana Period.” However, with the sacrifices of Earth’s eight most powerful warriors at their peak, humanity survived this disaster. Among them, Hong and Thunder God had remained in a coma. Though their hearts still beat, their brainwaves had completely vanished.
They were, in essence, living corpses!
Spontaneously, every base city across the globe held various events to express gratitude and respect for the eight heroes.
As the hometown of one of the eight heroes—”Luo Feng”—Yangzhou City’s largest square was crowded with people mourning. In this battle, Luo Feng was the youngest among the eight, yet also the most gifted. At only twenty-two years old, he easily defeated a King-level beast.
Such a prodigy! Many believed that if he had continued to grow stronger, surpassing Hong and Thunder God would have been highly possible. Some even claimed that since Luo Feng easily defeated a King-level beast, he was already on par with Hong and Thunder God.
But what’s the use of saying so much?
…
In Times Square, wreaths and flowers covered the ground.
Batch after batch of people came here to bow solemnly.
“Luo Feng,” amidst the crowd, a young man overwhelmed with grief, accompanied by a girl, stared at Luo Feng’s statue. “You… you…”
“Ah Wen,” the girl whispered, trying to comfort him.
“We grew up together since we were little boys in open-crotch pants, and I never expected him to leave like this.” Wei Wen’s expression was pained. “Ever since he entered the martial arts academy, he was always the best—becoming a high-level student early, a martial artist early. Then step by step… I watched him grow stronger and stronger.”
“I know he would have flown even higher. But who could have imagined…” Wei Wen shook his head.
Wei Wen and his girlfriend solemnly bowed in the square, then left into the crowd.
…
In Mingyue Community, Luo Feng’s home, second floor bedroom.
The warm winter sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting light onto Xu Xin, who lay in bed with a pale face.
“Little sister,” beside her, Xu Gang sat by the bed, trying to comfort her. “Don’t be too sad. Luo Feng died a noble death, worth every sacrifice. Besides… you being this sad isn’t good for the baby either.”
“Brother,” Xu Xin softly said, “I know. Please leave now.”
“Take care of yourself. At least for Luo Feng, you must bring his child into this world.” Xu Gang comforted her before walking out.
Emotionally, Luo Feng was one of Earth’s ‘Eight Heroes,’ and the Xu family naturally hoped Xu Xin would bear Luo Feng’s child.
From a practical standpoint, Luo Feng was Earth’s greatest psychokineticist, and his genetic heritage was beyond imagination. Such a child was definitely worth preserving.
…
Downstairs at Luo Feng’s house.
“Doctor,” Gong Xinlan hurriedly asked, “how is my daughter-in-law Xu Xin doing now?”
Professor Hua, the most renowned physician in China, personally came to examine Xu Xin out of respect for Luo Feng. He replied gravely, “Madam Luo, the patient’s body itself has no real issues, but… excessive grief harms the spirit. No matter how strong one’s physique, if constantly immersed in sorrow, their health will inevitably decline.”
“This…” Gong Xinlan’s expression changed slightly.
Yesterday, when she saw on live broadcast that Luo Feng’s life signs had completely vanished, Xu Xin had fainted on the spot.
Though Luo Hongguo and his wife were also devastated, they did not want their son’s bloodline to be lost. Thus, they immediately called for doctors. Now, the only thing they could do for their son was to preserve this last bit of his bloodline.
“No matter what, Doctor Hua, you must protect the child inside her.” Gong Xinlan said solemnly.
“I understand! I will do everything I can for Mr. Luo Feng’s bloodline.” Professor Hua replied with equal seriousness. “I will immediately apply to the state for ‘Spirit of the Forest’ and other medicinal supplements.”
“Our family has the Spirit of the Forest.” Gong Xinlan nodded.
“Even better,” Professor Hua said joyfully. “The Spirit of the Forest and medicinal supplements can help her physically. But the root of the problem lies in her heart. If she remains too anxious or grief-stricken… I fear she may suffer a miscarriage during pregnancy.”
Gong Xinlan’s expression darkened.
“Therefore, emotional support and care are essential. We must help her feel better.” Professor Hua advised.
“I understand.” Gong Xinlan nodded.
…
In the bed.
Xu Xin silently lay there, gently stroking the wire ring on her ring finger. Tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks as she whispered, “Luo Feng… are you really gone? Have you really left me?”
…
In the Pacific Ocean, the area where Luo Feng had once battled the Devouring Beast.
A massive gathering of monsters had formed here.
Over sixty King-level beasts were present, including the sole Emperor-level beast of the oceans now—the Thunder Dragon Emperor! These monsters gathered at the ocean floor to feast upon the Devouring Beast’s corpse! According to their evolutionary laws, consuming the corpse of a powerful beast usually resulted in evolution.
The Thunder Dragon Emperor longed to devour the corpse of the Gold Horned Beast!
“Roar~~”
The Thunder Dragon Emperor glared angrily at the two figures before it… the Silver Fluid Guards!
It had been here for over three days, yet had been unable to succeed because of these two Silver Fluid Guards! After all, even the Gold Horned Beast could be resisted by the Silver Fluid Guards, and restraining the Thunder Dragon Emperor was even easier. Though the Silver Fluid Guards’ offensive power was truly weak, their ability to immobilize enemies was extremely strong.
Behind the Silver Fluid Guards…
The massive, pitch-black Gold Horned Beast lay motionless, emitting no aura whatsoever.
…
Inside the Gold Horned Beast.
A large crystal sphere covered in intricate golden runes emitted a faint golden glow. It appeared the same as before, yet something had changed.
“So, soul possession is this difficult! Babata, following this step-by-step process, how long will it take before I fully control this Gold Horned Beast body?”
Luo Feng’s consciousness spoke.
“Don’t be impatient. What you’re experiencing now is a once-in-ten-million-years opportunity. Be patient! Take it slow.” Babata replied.
…
Luo Feng never imagined he would survive!
Three days ago, when he desperately attacked the Gold Horned Beast, he discovered that its soul defenses were incredibly strong. Just as his final soul planet was about to be destroyed, the diamond-shaped blood-red crystal hidden deep within the planet’s core finally decomposed and ignited. Instantly, an immense surge of psychokinetic power surged into Luo Feng’s soul.
It was enormous!
That was why, during the global live broadcast, everyone saw his life force suddenly spike dramatically!
Luo Feng was grateful!
Grateful to his teacher, the Master of the Yimo Star, who, uncertain of the future power of his disciple—whether he would be a Planetary-level or Stellar-level warrior—had cautiously created the “Inheritance Soul Seal,” capable of transforming the soul of a Cosmic-level 1 psychokineticist.
Though the Inheritance Soul Seal seemed small, merely a crystal column, it was actually crafted by an immortal being! When the column decomposed and ignited, its overwhelming power instantly breached the Gold Horned Beast’s defenses—it was simply on a completely different level! Perhaps the Gold Horned Beast had more in terms of quantity, but the Inheritance Soul Seal was far superior in quality.
Like a needle piercing tofu, it was effortless!
The Gold Horned Beast’s soul was conquered!
Luo Feng’s soul was replenished and became incredibly powerful. However, his physical body’s consciousness sea had been destroyed, making it impossible to return. Therefore, he decisively executed the soul possession technique, directly devouring the Gold Horned Beast’s soul fragments. Though devouring was fast, absorption took over a day.
Moreover!
Items like the spatial ring and the Cloudvine were bound by soul imprints, and Babata, as an AI, was also linked to Luo Feng through psychokinetic resonance. The soul was the foundation! Most treasures in the universe were bound by soul imprints (psychokinetic imprints), so naturally, during the soul possession, Luo Feng reconnected with Babata.
“Luo Feng, now you occupy its consciousness sea. However, your soul’s compatibility with its body is still low. You need to take it slowly.”
“Soul possession usually begins with even basic movements being difficult, like walking. This is normal.”
“Come on, first try to move your eyelids. Take it slow.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already blocked all surrounding signals. The human world won’t detect the Devouring Beast’s life force now.” Babata was now incredibly excited. Goodness! Soul-possessing a Star Beast? It was like a dream come true!
In the universe, when it came to bloodlines, the highest and most noble were undoubtedly the peak Star Beasts.
The Gold Horned Beast was one of these supreme beings.
“Babata, how do I restore my human form?” Luo Feng asked.
“Are you really still attached to your human body?” Babata exclaimed. “With this body, even becoming a Realm Lord is just a matter of time! Besides… I’ve always heard that Star Beasts have inherited memories. The higher the Star Beast, the more advanced and vast their inherited memories.”
“Knowledge is power!”
“Your teacher lived only sixty million years. How much knowledge could he accumulate? His secret techniques are impressive, but in the vast universe, there are beings stronger than your teacher.”
“And Star Beasts, especially the ultimate peak Star Beasts, their inherited memories through generations can even trace back to the very beginning of the universe.”
“When you and this body are 100% compatible, the bloodline inheritance memories will fully merge into your soul!” Babata was ecstatic.
Becoming a mighty Gold Horned Beast?
Roaming the universe?
“As for wanting to restore your human form, that’s not too hard. The dumbest way is to soul-possess again. The best way is to obtain the legendary psychokineticist technique ‘Soul Division,’ which allows you to create many avatars, including a human avatar of yourself. But ‘Soul Division’ is something even your teacher only heard of.” Babata explained. “Don’t think about it anymore. At least… you’re still alive.”
“Right.”
Luo Feng’s spirit lifted.
At least I’m still alive! As long as I live, there is hope!
Hope to see my family again, hope to see the child be born…
Luo Feng began to exert himself even harder to control the body.
Blinking an eyelid? Moving a claw? Swishing a tail? Gently flapping the scale-covered wings?
Step by step!
Luo Feng worked hard. After spending a full sixteen days.
“Success.”
In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, a massive creature—once a nightmare for all of Earth’s humanity—the Gold Horned Beast slowly swam forward. Its cold, dark golden eyes swept across the surroundings, and the King-level beasts and Emperor-level beasts around it all cowered in reverence.
“Congratulations, Luo Feng.” Babata was also ecstatic.
“Huh?”
Just as he had fully synchronized with the body, as if it were his own, suddenly, an immense surge of memory flooded into Luo Feng’s soul. Vast, ancient, and endless, the accumulated memories of generations of Gold Horned Beasts unfolded before him. The sheer magnitude of the memories stunned Luo Feng’s consciousness into silence!
So… vast!
