On the table were delicacies renowned across various regions of the universe, but Luo Feng hadn’t touched a single bite. The Chaos City Lord poured wine gently, smiling as he looked at Luo Feng. “You’ve reached the strength of a top-tier Cosmic Sovereign? I know your divine body rivals a Cosmic Ancestor, and with your ‘Nine Nether Clones’ providing an endless supply of divine power, and your ‘Golden Horned Beast Clone’ possessing a divine body spanning thousands of kilometers, combined with high-grade treasure armor… even a top-tier Cosmic Sovereign would struggle to kill you. But that doesn’t mean you’ve truly reached that level.”
Luo Feng gazed back at his teacher, unwavering.
The Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng.
Their eyes met.
“You really have reached that level?” The Chaos City Lord couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded.
“Then those alien Ancestors who perished because of you… were they killed by your own hand?” The Chaos City Lord asked again.
Luo Feng nodded.
The Chaos City Lord studied Luo Feng carefully. He had watched Luo Feng rise, and the speed of his ascent far exceeded his expectations. Although what Luo Feng said was shocking, based on their nearly ten-thousand-year teacher-student bond, the Chaos City Lord felt it was likely true.
“We’ll talk more about this later!” The Chaos City Lord shook his head. “Luo Feng, I’m your teacher, and I won’t harm you.”
“Teacher, please speak.” Luo Feng listened attentively.
“The Qijing Stone is connected to the most important treasure since the opening of the Origin Star.” The Chaos City Lord said solemnly. “The news that you possess the Qijing Stone is already known to our human race’s Cosmic Sovereigns and the Axe Creator! Although they won’t force you to hand it over, if you truly refuse… it might cause the Cosmic Sovereigns to become displeased with you.”
“You will inevitably become a member of our race’s highest echelons in the future. Causing dissatisfaction now isn’t a good thing.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly as he listened.
“Even if you possess the strength of a top-tier Cosmic Sovereign, more than half of those entering the Qishen Hall will be Cosmic Sovereigns. There might even be one or two of the strongest beings in the cosmos involved! The 36 paths of the Qishen Hall favor the weak to some extent, but ultimately, strength is the foundation. In the final competition for the supreme treasure… it will definitely be the Cosmic Sovereigns or the strongest beings! Even you, as a top-tier Cosmic Sovereign, will have to step aside.”
The Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng.
“If you insist on going… 1, it will cause the Cosmic Sovereigns to become displeased. 2, you won’t get the supreme treasure. Why go through all this trouble?”
…
Initially appealing from the perspective of the race, the Chaos City Lord now approached from the angle of interests, with only one goal—to persuade Luo Feng to hand over the Qijing Stone. It would be good for Luo Feng and good for everyone.
“Moreover, the race will compensate you for it,” the Chaos City Lord continued. “After all, the Qijing Stone is yours. Would you consider twenty or thirty treasure points for it? As long as you’re willing, I believe the race will give you sufficient compensation.”
Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
If a Cosmic Sovereign had obtained the Qijing Stone, there wouldn’t be these complications. Now, because he possessed the potential to reach the highest level of the race… they were treating him with courtesy. If he were merely an ordinary Cosmic Ancestor, the treatment would be entirely different.
However—
The Qijing Stone was something he had obtained himself! It belonged to him!
“Teacher hopes you will hand it over,” the Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng.
Looking at the Chaos City Lord’s expression, if it were an ordinary Cosmic Sovereign, he wouldn’t even bother. But the Chaos City Lord had done him a great favor, silently guiding and teaching him all along.
“Teacher, you just said that if I contribute it to the race, the race will compensate me,” Luo Feng took a deep breath. “My request isn’t too high… I want to exchange the Qijing Stone for the remaining half ownership of Earth! In other words, I want to reclaim Earth. Return my hometown to me.”
“That’s all I ask.”
“If they agree… the Qijing Stone goes to the race! No other compensation is needed, just the remaining half ownership of Earth.”
“If they refuse… I won’t hand over the Qijing Stone either,” Luo Feng said.
The Chaos City Lord was slightly taken aback: “Earth?”
“Yes, Earth,” Luo Feng nodded.
…
Silence.
The two cosmic titans on either side of the table fell silent for a moment.
“You want Earth?” The Chaos City Lord finally asked after a long pause. “What about the alien immigrants?”
“Back then, I had to spend 50 billion Yuan units to give up half of Earth’s ownership, allowing a large number of alien immigrants to reside in Earth’s oceans and floating cities above the oceans. They are aliens, not Earthlings! Earth is the birthplace of Earthlings, our hometown. I will make all those alien immigrants leave.”
“Land, ocean!”
“All belong to Earthlings!” Luo Feng said solemnly.
Ever since he had no choice but to give up half of Earth’s ownership under the pressure of the race, Luo Feng had gritted his teeth and silently waited, yearning for the day when he could reclaim Earth! Over the years, the alien immigrants on Earth had been arrogant and condescending. Luo Feng could only suppress their misbehavior, but the alien immigrants had always looked down on Earth’s natives deep in their hearts.
But that blue planet was the hometown of Earthlings!
“Expel them?” The Chaos City Lord pondered slightly.
“Teacher, back then it was just 50 billion Yuan units,” Luo Feng smiled. “50 billion Yuan units aren’t even worth a fraction of a valuable treasure. Now I’m offering the Qijing Stone! If we calculate the return, it’s already multiplied a hundred thousand times.”
“I understand your thoughts,” the Chaos City Lord nodded. “I can’t make this decision, but I will give you an answer soon.”
“Okay,” Luo Feng nodded.
Luo Feng wasn’t a fool, not someone who would recklessly sacrifice everything for the greater good of the race.
Would he contribute his treasures to make another powerful being even stronger?
After all…
The moment he left Earth and stepped into the cosmos, Luo Feng had always carried a responsibility on his shoulders—Earth! The rise and future destiny of Earthlings depended on him. Therefore, Luo Feng would never easily give up the opportunity for strength. Especially since the Qijing Stone was something he had obtained himself.
The Qishen Hall… was the greatest treasure in this opening of the Origin Star! Luo Feng really wanted to go.
But since his teacher had personally spoken up, and so sincerely.
Moreover, deep in Luo Feng’s heart… reclaiming Earth was a more important dream! Compared to reclaiming Earth, the importance of the Qijing Stone clearly diminished.
“To reclaim Earth, in my plan, it’s not an easy thing. If I can take this opportunity… to succeed in one fell swoop! Even if I lose the Qijing Stone, it’s not a big deal,” Luo Feng thought to himself.
Human race and Earth.
Although Luo Feng felt a sense of belonging to the human race, his attachment to Earth was stronger! He was the leader and spiritual pillar of the Earthlings, bearing the destiny of Earth! Secondarily, he was a member of the human race. Moreover, the Qijing Stone was merely an additional blessing for the human race, not something that affected the rise and fall of the entire race… so there was no need to care too much about the greater good of the race.
…
In the dark void, stars twinkled.
On either side of the long stone table, a group of Cosmic Sovereigns sat again.
“Chaos, do you have a result?”
“Summoning us here, is there something urgent? Could Luo Feng really refuse? Impossible. If even you, his teacher, can’t persuade him, how could he refuse?”
“He dares to refuse? And his ability to use the Qijing Stone, isn’t it just a waste? If you can’t talk him into it, I’ll go talk to this kid!”
At the head seat, the Axe Creator swept his gaze, and all the Cosmic Sovereigns fell silent immediately.
“Chaos, tell them,” the Axe Creator ordered.
“Luofeng agreed,” the Chaos City Lord looked around at the other Cosmic Sovereigns. “However, he proposed a condition.”
“Ha ha, good.”
“He really agreed.”
“As long as he agrees, the condition can be compensated.”
“What condition?”
The Cosmic Sovereigns began to speak, while others remained silent. If it were really that simple, there would be no need for a second gathering.
“The condition is simple…” the Chaos City Lord continued. “Return the remaining half ownership of Earth to him. Earth is his hometown! He bought half of Earth’s ownership for 500 billion Yuan units back then, allowing various factions to send large numbers of descendants to Earth’s oceans and floating cities above the oceans. Now he wants to reclaim Earth.”
“What about the descendants of other races?” a cold voice asked.
“Luofeng wants to expel all alien descendants and leave only Earthlings,” the Chaos City Lord said.
“No!”
“Absolutely not.”
“This is impossible.”
Several Cosmic Sovereigns spoke one after another, their voices tinged with anger.
When Earth was first discovered… it attracted attention, but back then the Axe Creator determined it was a special planet specially transformed and refined by the ‘Sitting Mountain Guest.’ At that time, the Cosmic Sovereigns were merely curious, believing that if the Sitting Mountain Guest had intervened, it must be extraordinary. But they didn’t know how valuable Earth really was.
However… ten thousand years later!
In the ten thousand years since Luo Feng’s growth, the alien immigrants who had moved to Earth had also been there for ten thousand years. During this time, generation after generation of alien descendants were born on Earth. After being cultivated by their respective races, it was discovered that their aptitude was very high, and their mentality was easily trained, resulting in a high probability of producing strong experts and geniuses!
Mental strength seemed ordinary at first, not important in the early stages of cultivation, but as one advanced further—Cosmic, Domain Lord, World Lord… the more one advanced, the more important it became!
This immediately caused the Cosmic Sovereigns to marvel.
What a powerful Earth.
What a powerful Sitting Mountain Guest!
The descendants born on Earth all had some changes in their souls, making them much more likely to succeed in cultivating their mindset and mentality. This was why, in just ten thousand years, a group of geniuses and strong experts had emerged, even many World Lords. If time continued…
Just this single planet, Earth, could give rise to a powerful branch of the human race, rivaling the former Flame God Clan!
Compared to the Flame God Clan, the Earth branch had even greater potential.
“No.”
“That’s a special planet refined by the Sitting Mountain Guest, invaluable! No less than a peak domain-type treasure! This cannot be allowed.”
“Let him change his condition.”
The Cosmic Sovereigns spoke out.
