The Astonishing Appearance of the "Nine Tribulations Scripture"!

Upon hearing this...

"Good, good, good." Luo Feng laughed and said "good" three times in a row, his attitude appearing extremely kind.

Even before the Genius Battle, Xu Xin had given birth to twins for Luo Feng — Luo Ping and Luo Hai —and Luo Feng thus experienced the joy of becoming a father.

Therefore, I was puzzled as to why Lin Yan and Wen Zhi'an, who were very affectionate, had not had children yet, and I even asked them about it out of curiosity.

Lin Yan's answer at the time was... due to certain circumstances, his bloodline had evolved to an extraordinary degree, and he was temporarily unable to reproduce, so they would have to wait until later.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yan's son had already grown up without anyone noticing.

This surprised Luo Feng, but also made him genuinely happy for his brother.

He laughed and scolded, "That Lin Yan, he didn't even tell us about such a big thing. He'll have to give him a good talking to next time he sees me."

Luo Feng scrutinized the boy's appearance.

"To be honest, from the moment I first saw you, I saw a bit of your father's past in you."

He remarked with emotion, "Especially that sword strike you used to save people just now, it reminded me of the time when Earth faced the calamity of the Golden Horn Beast."

"Back then, I also saw such stunning sword light."

His gaze carried a hint of reminiscence, his leisurely gaze seemingly traversing the flowing years, as if he were seeing that year and that day again.

That was the darkest moment for Earth Humanity!

The B6 Laser Cannon and the super-powerful hydrogen bomb, combined with humanity's strongest attacks, still failed to destroy the Devouring Beast, and humanity's fate entered its countdown.

The last hope is... Hong and Thunder God are prepared to burn their souls and fight to the death, and Luo Feng even vows in his heart to live and die with the Earth.

The dark sea surged and roared, the sky and earth were shrouded in darkness, and the roar of the Golden Horn Beast shook the heavens and the earth. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

At this critical moment—

A dazzling sword light tore through the night, stretching for a thousand meters, lingering for a long time, thus stunning the ages and the world.

That... was a sword light that Luo Feng would never forget.

The instant Luo Feng saw Lin Xiao, he instinctively recalled that sword strike.

Upon seeing the boy's face, both his appearance and temperament bore a striking resemblance to Lin Yan at that time, further solidifying Luo Feng's conviction.

The boy in front of me is Lin Yan's child!

Even this talent bears some resemblance to his father's. He Star Level Nine and the Domain Nine Layers, and has already gained a relatively deep understanding of the Light Origin Law.

Even Luo Feng was secretly amazed.

The boy smiled and said, "I have to tell Uncle Luo about this."

"I grew up listening to stories from Uncle Luo, Uncle Hong, Thunder God Thor, and my dad. I've watched the videos of your Genius Battle so many times, and every time I watch them, I get so excited!" Young Lin Xiao was quite excited, and a hint of admiration flashed in his pale golden eyes.

"So I've wanted to pay my respects to you for a long time!" Lin Xiao said, sounding somewhat helpless. "But my dad insisted on waiting for you to come back, and told me to cultivate diligently so that he could show off later."

In the end, Lin Xiao couldn't help but facepalm.

Luo Feng fell silent.

Oh my god!

This is probably, seems to be, possibly... something that Lin Yan could do.

In most cases, this guy can always show his reliable side, but sometimes he can be quite wicked.

At this moment, the imagined scenarios were flashing through Luo Feng's mind.

Lin Yan, who had been calm and collected, suddenly said:

Yes, we do have a child.

emmm...

Luo Feng secretly rejoiced; if he hadn't discovered it in advance, he would have been dumbfounded on the spot.

At this moment.

A hidden red warning light on Lin Xiao's combat gear began to flash. He immediately smiled wryly and said, "Sorry, Uncle Luo, my teammates have entered the Cave World to look for me. I may have to excuse myself for a while."

"I will visit you again tomorrow."

"No need for that, child." Luo Feng shook his head and smiled.

He said, "It should be me visiting your elders. How about this... I'll bring my wife Xu Xin, to visit your grandparents tomorrow. See you then."

Seeing that Lin Xiao wanted to say something more, Luo Feng said directly, "My visit tomorrow isn't purely for a visit. Your father left me some things that I need to pick up."

Lin Xiao was taken aback, but nodded subconsciously.

Luo Feng smiled and nodded, then looked in a direction where several figures were moving quickly toward them; these must be the teammates Lin Xiao had mentioned.

Whoosh!

His figure vanished instantly.

Young Lin Xiao watched Luo Feng leave, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Why did Uncle Luo say that his father left him some things?

But... isn't my dad always at home?

The next day.

It's springtime, and there was a light rain yesterday. The sky is still overcast, but the air is very fresh, giving people a sense of tranquility.

A couple walked along a mountain path, talking softly as they went, as if they had endless things to say.

"Although my parents have been given resources to the Cosmic level and have long lifespans, they are not true martial artists. So, to pass the time, they are now particularly obsessed with virtual games in the Virtual Universe."

Xu Xin said softly, "Especially Kunlun, because the Kunlun's storyline is based on Earth, which best suits our cultural aesthetics, and Jiuzhou Company has close ties with our family."

Luo Feng smiled and said, "As long as Mom and Dad are happy."

Everyone's life is different.

Luo Feng witnessed his parents' struggles during their childhood when a global catastrophe struck, forcing them to flee for many years before finally settling in the Base City. They did the hard and arduous work there.

They lack the talent and ambition of martial artists. Now that they have risen to power, they can finally enjoy life and fulfill their childhood dreams by playing virtual games. There's nothing wrong with that.

"That's what I think too," Xu Xin said. "Every virtual game is like living a lifetime. With a little money, my parents can have a lifespan of 1,000 epochs, play many, many virtual games, and experience many, many stories."

Luo Feng nodded.

Unlike Earth in the past, virtual games are a necessity for the universe.

When many people find themselves unable to make any progress in their spiritual practice, how to spend their long lives becomes a question worth considering. Playing virtual games is naturally the least likely to cause negative effects than any other form of entertainment that can be thought of.

Throughout the journey, Luo Feng listened quietly as his wife recounted the changes in the Luo Family over the past three hundred years.

Of the two sons, Luo Ping is more disciplined and steady, and he is currently in charge of the Luo Family affairs.

Luo Hai, however, has a passionate heart. He studies at the Ganwu Dojo and adventures in the universe. Now, because of Luo Feng's return, he is also rushing back to Earth.

According to Xu Xin, the Luo Family is a large and influential family with a large number of members, and there have been some bad practices in the past.

However, after Lin Yan returned last time, the national policy was quickly adjusted. The re-establishment of the social value system and the influence of external factors such as the "underground cave" have brought about a new look to these bad trends. The Luo Family also followed the call, and many of their members entered the underground cave battlefield.

Now, the family is more cohesive and has greater potential.

Of all the news, the one that surprised Luo Feng the most was that the person Lin Xiao had saved with his sword was actually Luo Kedi, the most outstanding junior of the Luo Family.

Luo Kedi is his ninth-generation descendant. He was already quite talented, and with the help of some opportunities he had in the Cave World, he performed exceptionally well and gained the attention of his clan, who invested resources in his development. This is why he was able to become Cosmic level being at such a young age.

Call!

There was still a chill in the air in the mountains in the early morning.

A thin mist still lingered in the mountains and forests, creating a hazy, misty atmosphere. It was rare to see such scenery reminiscent of the Jiangnan region, even in the heart of Capital.

"Zhi'an, the scenery here is truly wonderful."

Looking at the scenery in the mountains, Xu Xin exclaimed, "Every time I come here, I feel like I've stepped into a painting. It's so poetic and picturesque. The peaks... If you ever have some free time, I really want to spend some secluded life with you in the mountains."

What is said without malice may be taken to heart by the listener.

Looking at his wife beside him, who exuded a cool and noble air, with a hint of longing on her beautiful face, Luo Feng felt a complex mix of emotions, deeply moved.

Quiet.

Luo Feng reached out and grasped Xu Xin's hand.

"Xu Xin." Luo Feng looked at his wife.

"Huh?" Xu Xin was taken aback.

"I'm sorry for all these years..." Luo Feng said softly.

He never felt he had done anything wrong, but it was undeniable that he was neither a good husband nor a good father, and he never gave them the life they truly wanted.

Even Wei Wen, who grew up with me when I was young and we were like brothers, has faded from my contact. I can only say that I provide him with resources to help him go further. I only see my relatives once in a long while in the Virtual Universe. On the contrary, I have more opportunities to meet Rong Jun, Uka and others.

As she journeys through the universe and her status rises, is Xu Xin happy?

She was naturally happy and proud.

But the distance between the two grew further and further, to the point that they could only see each other once every ten years. What kind of shock must that have been for the wife?

Even now, she only says that when she has some free time, she would like to spend some time living in seclusion in the mountains with me.

This shows his tolerance and understanding.

Looking at his wife, Luo Feng felt a pang of guilt.

"You don't need to apologize to me." Xu Xin smiled gently, her eyes glistening with tears. "Because... I love you very much."

Not long after.

They finally arrived at Lin Yan's house, but at that moment, Luo Feng was dumbfounded.

"Lin Yan... how did you end up on Earth?"

Luo Feng stared blankly at the handsome man in front of him, dressed in plain white, who looked like a celestial being. Shouldn't Lin Yan be in Chaos City at this time?

However, judging from the life force I sensed, there was nothing wrong with it.

Luo Feng disregarded any potential offense and directly used the World Power to probe, but the final result was still positive.

"It's either the Moshazhu Race's methods or Lin Yan's!" Babata was also stunned. What on earth was going on?

The others were somewhat taken aback by Luo Feng's reaction. Lin Yan had been back on Earth for over sixty years, so how come Luo Feng seemed completely unaware of it?

Luo Feng hadn't even considered this point; otherwise, he would have known about it long ago if he had just asked his wife.

"Zhi'an, please entertain Xu Xin," Lin Yan said with a smile, then looked at Luo Feng, "Let's go outside to talk."

"Mm." Luo Feng nodded.

A light rain was falling from the sky, carrying the warmth of spring, pattering softly and endlessly.

The lush bamboo forest rustled and exuded a moist scent. Two figures, one in black and one in white, walked along the Bluestone Path in the bamboo forest, holding oil-paper umbrellas.

"Pitter-patter!" Raindrops pelted the umbrella, splashing everywhere.

The fog in the mountains grew thicker.

"Lin Yan, could it be... that you also obtained Talent Secret Method like creating clones?" Luo Feng pondered for a long time, and could only come up with this explanation in the end.

He himself has a doppelganger, so he is the most accepting of this reason.

"Hmm." Lin Yan responded softly, "The one in Chaos City now is my clone. After I returned back then, I never left. Firstly, to guide the development of Earth, and secondly, I also want to take this opportunity to spend more time with my family."

Luo Feng nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Yan's ability to create "clones" was something he had never known before, which made many things make sense.

Firstly, Lin Yan's talent is unimaginably high, which makes it much easier to understand with the help of his clone.

Secondly, he noticed that Lin Xiao wasn't very old. The reason he hadn't suspected this before was that... the degree of genetic optimization was high, and the gestation period was different, so there was no need to worry about "ten months of pregnancy".

"You really kept this from me for a long time," Luo Feng said with a wry smile.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "I haven't had a chance to talk to you about this. The last time we met in real life was back in Chaos City. Although the Virtual Universe is safe, it's not very convenient to talk about some things here."

They almost never talk about Earth in the Virtual Universe.

"I understand." Luo Feng nodded. "When I came back this time, I saw a lot of things and the tremendous changes that have taken place on Earth over the years. The 'special nature of Earth' that you mentioned back then has been further corroborated."

When Luo Feng was preparing to go home, he inadvertently sensed the existence of the "Tiannan Cave," which shocked him greatly.

The Zerg, as one of the most powerful races in the universe alongside humanity, pose a catastrophic threat!

Of course, this was just a thought.

When he saw that this was clearly A World created by the World Master, and then thought of the Zerg Mother Nest on Earth that had been enslaved by Lin Yan, he naturally understood who was behind it... After he secretly conducted a more detailed investigation, Luo Feng understood even more clearly what Lin Yan's intentions were.

Looking back at the changes and turning points in Earth's history over the past three hundred years since he left, he even felt a chill run down his spine at the decisions Lin Yan had made step by step on Earth.

When I first entered Qiulong Star—

Hong and Thunder God had questioned Lin Yan's actions of eliminating all the monsters on Earth, because they believed that this would cause Earthling to lose their sense of crisis.

Only by keeping them in a state of crisis can we motivate them to move forward, and the killing of monsters will also help them grow faster.

Lin Yan's views at the time also analyzed the inevitability of eliminating monsters and reclaiming territory from various aspects, pointed out the drawbacks of "all-people martial artists" from the macro perspective of Earth Humanity, and drew up a magnificent blueprint for them.

At that time, Lin Yan said that what he wanted to achieve would require the joint efforts of the four of them to move beyond empty talk and truly realize it.

Whether they become bigger fish or leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into true dragons, the future of Earth is in their hands.

It's obvious.

After Lin Yan accumulated enough power from the Virtual Universe Company, he also truly found a path to power for Earth.

This Cave World is in fact a replica of the original "Wilderness Area," but because it was created by Lin Yan, it can be said to have reached the pinnacle in every aspect.

Furthermore, by incorporating various information from the "Mountain Sea Realm" of the civilized era, it would be incredibly easy for them to use this as a blueprint to create numerous moving and inspiring stories, without any flaws whatsoever.

However, such details can create a greater sense of mission and responsibility for conquering the underground caves, which is actually very important.

Let alone the fact that Earth has special secrets, even if this Cave World plan were placed on any other native Earth, it could have propelled the rapid growth of this civilization and produced many outstanding figures!

Of course, the investment is too large.

Only Earthling born on Earth have greater potential for development, while the probability of strong individuals emerging from other alien planets is terrifyingly low, making this method simply a losing proposition.

"Yes," Lin Yan said. "It has only been more than sixty years since the implementation of the Underground Cave Plan, and we have already discovered several talents worthy of attention, especially Song Shushi, Mental Elevation because of a battle in the underground cave, and his potential is enormous."

His eyes brightened slightly.

Song Shushi, born into the Song Family of Tianjing, had visited Lin Yan reached the Planetary level.

This person has a simple and unassuming personality, with no desires or wants. He usually eats only vegetables and brown rice, and even the brown rice and fruits he eats are grown by himself in his own vegetable garden.

In this world, few heroes create the times, but many times create heroes.

This is why many people say that even if there is no Zhang San, there will be Li San or Wang San; the times themselves are an important part of life's circumstances.

If Song Shushi had been born twenty years earlier, he might not have become Hong, but becoming another "Thunder God" might not have been difficult.

Because Lin Yan had observed that Song Shushi's current state of mind... had very likely reached the realm of "Unity of Heaven and Man".

Even now, as a pivotal figure on Earth, and bearing the heavy responsibility of suppressing the Forbidden City Cave, he remains as always as a hermit, and those great accolades hold no sway over him.

Lin Yan and Luo Feng were discussing the current state of Earth. Everyone was striving for the goal of Earth's rise, and they all had the right to know about many things.

Many of the things Lin Yan mentioned surprised Luo Feng.

He became even more certain that this was the arrival of a truly prosperous era.

The two of them, holding oil-paper umbrellas, gradually walked to the lakeside. Ripples spread across the lake's surface. Lin Yan had a smile on his lips, looking gentle and refined.

Suddenly--

His pupils contracted sharply, the smile on his face vanished, and a huge shock rose in his heart. In just a moment, countless thoughts and ideas flashed through his mind.

Lin Yan forced himself not to show any unusual expression, listened to Luo Feng's words, and calmly looked away.

Only--

About 300 meters ahead of them, on the damp mud by the lake, lay a pure black metal plate, stained with mud.

This pure black metal plate has some patterns on its surface, making it look as if it had been smashed and cracked.

Lin Yan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was in turmoil.

"This, this is..."

"The first level of the Nine Tribulations Scripture... has actually appeared here!"
