Lin Yan had just returned to the Solar System via the Divine Kingdom Teleportation and hadn't even set off to return to Earth when a gentle voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Please come to the temple to meet me."

"Hmm?" Lin Yan frowned slightly, looking around at the endless void, but only saw a silent starry sky.

Immediately, the Immortal Divine Power spread out rapidly, and it was then discovered that a magnificent temple stood in the starry sky at the edge of the Solar System.

This magnificent temple was far larger than Earth, but it completely shielded its own energy fluctuations and used some advanced technology similar to External Virtualization spaceship exteriors to simulate a starry sky environment, so much so that Lin Yan did not notice it for a moment.

However, this level of concealment is so great that even some Immortal God could detect it; they probably just don't want Earthling to find out.

"This... is the temple of Azure Phoenix Venerable?" Lin Yan's heart stirred slightly.

Unlike before, he carefully concealed the secrets of "Earth" to ensure its secrecy and to avoid potential threats from Alien Race.

After Luo Feng successfully passed the 13th level of the Tongtian Bridge, the secret could no longer be hidden. This magical Life Planet came into the view of the Chaos City Lord, and his attitude showed that he valued Earth highly.

The safety of Earth... naturally, Lin Yan no longer needs to worry about it.

During that meeting with Lin Yan, the Chaos City Lord also said that he would make arrangements for Earth, and that the Earth Human Lineage could develop on their own within 100,000 epochs without worrying about being disturbed.

After that, Lin Yan went to the Outer Domain Battlefield for training. Earth was not affected in any way, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. He only learned from the Mu Xing Country Lord that after the Chaos City Lord discovered Earth's special characteristics, he sent Azure Phoenix Venerable to guard the Solar System.

Azure Phoenix Venerable was one of the direct disciples of the Chaos City Lord. He joined the sect much later than Golden Axe Venerable and ranked fourteenth. Like Ke Di, he could be called a genius who appeared once in "hundreds of millions of epochs". His strength was even above that of Golden Axe Venerable!

In an instant.

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Yan's mind.

Wow!

The Solar Gold Wings behind him flapped, instantly transforming into a stream of light, and swiftly flew towards the majestic temple.

Starry sky.

A towering palace floated in the air, with some World Lord level guards faintly visible walking along its wide corridors, heavily guarded.

Lin Yan over.

"This is the Azure Phoenix Shrine, guarding the Solar System under the orders of the Virtual Universe Company. Intruders, please identify yourselves." From the first level of the temple, a saucer-shaped spaceship flew out simultaneously, emitting a sound wave that spoke the Universal Language.

Instantly.

"Buzz..." An invisible pressure spread out.

Inside the spacecraft control room.

The white-robed Immortal God and his dozens of World Master guards immediately changed their expressions.

Through the External Virtualization, they observed the powerful human warrior clad in Golden Armor, with golden wings burning like flames behind him. The terrifying pressure was clearly emanating from him, so strong that even this Immortal God turned pale.

" To King level Immortal, absolutely to be granted the King level Immortal!"

"In front of such a super strong person, they could easily crush and kill us."

"Report this to your superiors immediately."

At this moment—

A man clad in green Battle Armor flew out of the temple and looked at Lin Yan: "Please come with me, the Venerable One is waiting for you."

"Alright." Lin Yan remained calm as he swiftly passed by the spaceship, following the man in blue armor as they flew towards the highest level of the temple.

This scene greatly surprised the white-robed immortal and his subordinate World Master guards. Just who was this powerful being? Not only did he appear in such an important place as the Solar System, but he was also personally received by the Venerable One.

The highest level of the majestic temple.

After Lin Yan stepped into the main hall, the Feng Wang expert who had led him did not enter but retreated directly. Lin Yan did not care and his gaze fell on the figure standing in the distance.

He wore a blue battle robe, embroidered with a beautiful divine bird pattern. His handsome face had light blue secret patterns, and he revealed a slight smile.

"Lin Yan pays his Azure Phoenix Venerable," Lin Yan, bowing.

Azure Phoenix Venerable shook his head and smiled, his voice clear and melodious. "No need for Many Gifts. Although this is our first meeting, I have often heard your name from Master Chaos City Lord and my fellow disciples."

"Speaking of which, I was ordered by my teacher to guard the Solar System, so I naturally know the origin of the name 'Xuanyuan'. But before actually seeing it today, I really can't believe that you, Lin Yan, have been able to enter the immortal realm so quickly, and have even reached the level of being Invincible Feng Wang!"

A hint of amazement flickered in his eyes. "Countless geniuses have emerged throughout human history, and I am one of them, but only a monster as extraordinary as you can truly be called the best among them!"

Lin Yan had heard such praise far too many times.

But never before has Super Existence like the Universe Venerable been praised so highly in front of him, sparing no words of praise.

Lin Yan had heard that this Azure Phoenix Venerable was of noble character, even arrogant. He knew very well that this was inseparable from his current Invincible Feng Wang.

After all, no matter how strong a World Master or domain lord's talent is, the distance between them and Universe Venerable is still very far. They might perish along the way, so there's no need to care too much.

However, even someone at the level of "Invincible Feng Wang" might escape with their life from the hands of Universe Venerable, making them incredibly close to the Universe Venerable.

If one breaks through to the Peak Feng Wang, one can only be considered an ordinary Universe Venerable. However, once one breaks through to the Invincible Feng Wang, one can be considered a strongman even among Universe Venerable.

Lin Yan reached the Invincible Feng Wang in just three thousand years. No one could doubt his possibility of breaking through to the Venerable level. In fact, in the eyes of Azure Phoenix Venerable, it might not be long before Lin Yan could reach the same level as him and surpass him.

"I am deeply grateful that Your Excellency has personally come to safeguard the safety of the Solar System," Lin Yan said, bowing.

"This is my teacher's order, so I will not refuse. Besides, I've only changed my place of seclusion, so it won't have any impact." Azure Phoenix Venerable looked at Lin Yan. "My teacher attaches great importance to Earth and specifically instructed me not to interfere with the normal lives of Earth Humanity. I only need to guard the Solar System and prevent any abnormal situations from occurring."

"A fixed passage was specially built on the first floor of the temple, which can quickly reach Earth from the Original Secret Realm. With this fixed passage, even if there are spatial tremors or other situations, it will not be able to prevent the powerful people of the Virtual Universe Company from arriving."

He smiled and said, "Lin Yan, don't worry, there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong."

"I have long heard of your abilities, so I am naturally at ease," Lin Yan said softly.

Azure Phoenix Venerable nodded slightly and said softly with a smile, "It is a great honor to meet such a prominent figure as you today. I will not disturb your return to Earth. I hope that when we meet again, you will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with us."

"Thank you for your praise, Lin Yan. I will take my leave." Lin Yan bowed respectfully, then turned and walked out of the hall, leaving the magnificent temple behind.

The highest level of the temple.

Azure Phoenix Venerable sat on the throne in the main hall, seemingly seeing through the layers of palaces the figure in Golden Armor in the cosmic starry sky. He said softly, "Only three thousand years, King Xuanyuan... Interesting, truly interesting. Back then, I cultivated for nearly a hundred thousand years before finally reaching this point."

"Will Universe Overlord truly be his limit?"

The words fell.

Silence returned to all.

Lin Yan stood in the starry sky, turned his head to look at the majestic temple in the Solar System, and then rushed into the Earth's atmosphere and swooped down.

It has been three thousand years since Lin Yan and others left Earth and began to build and cultivate it using the vast resources of the universe.

Even the original three thousand years of Earth's civilization was a remarkable leap, experiencing various era changes. Not to mention that under Lin Yan's energy, the development of Earth lineage was perfectly promoted, allowing the combination of Earth Humanity's special talents and cosmic resources to develop at an incredibly rapid pace.

It was March.

Spring is in full bloom, with grass growing and birds flying.

Lin Yan and his wife strolled along the street. Although their appearances were well-known, it seemed that no one recognized them as they walked down the street, and even if they were seen, they would naturally be overlooked.

He enjoyed this sense of security and belonging, as if his whole heart had calmed down.

Suddenly, I stopped.

Looking at the lawn in the distance, Lin Yan was slightly taken aback to see a child of about eight or nine years old training an adorable yellow squirrel with tiny lightning bolts jumping on its tail.

A strange expression immediately appeared on his face. "Hmm... Pikachu?"

Am I traversing the Swallowed Star?

Isn't this Pokemon?

You've switched channels!

"Isn't it interesting?" Wen Zhi'an chuckled to himself. "This was Wind Queen's suggestion to me. I found it very interesting, so I consulted a lot of knowledge from pharmacists and Beast Tamer, as well as some rare monster species from the universe, and finally managed to breed these cute little guys."

Wind Queen?

Lin Yan suddenly felt enlightened.

I thought she wasn't the same as before, but now it seems... her dream of anime and manga will never be extinguished!

Wen Zhi'an looked at the children playing with Pikachu, their laughter filling the air, and a hint of a smile appeared in his bright eyes, "Now on Earth, Beast Tamer is one of the most popular training paths, especially for those with relatively ordinary talent."

"Of the Cave World you left behind, one was cleaned up and then used specifically to raise these special monsters. This juvenile state is the Apprentice Level. Each major level is an evolution. For now, it's not difficult to raise them to the Stellar level. If they are raised properly, they can be raised to the Cosmic level."

"By now, there have indeed been some very famous and talented animal Beast Tamer, though they prefer to be called trainers."

"The achievements of these genius trainers have exceeded expectations for a long time. I was puzzled by this, but in the end, I can only explain it this way: bonds... are also a great power for the mind!"

Wen Zhi'an spoke softly.

Lin Yan turned his head and listened quietly to what she said. At that moment, he seemed to see the light emanating from his wife.

"It seems I really underestimated you." Lin Yan smiled and took her hand.

Perhaps she wasn't as dazzling as Lin Yan, but she possessed remarkable talent, especially in the field of "alchemy," where she had a strong passion and interest in achieving a tenfold increase in Life Level through "Spirit Marrow."

The higher Lin Yan climbed, the more he felt that it was the wonder of the universe's creator that made the world full of miracles.

"Zhi'an, I've observed that Planetary level seem to be completely widespread on Earth now?" Lin Yan asked.

"Don't you think about how many resources have been invested in the overall evolution of the bloodline over the past three thousand years?" Wen Zhi'an shook his head and said, "It has been passed down through countless generations. The genes of Earthling have been constantly evolving in the process of being passed down from generation to generation. From the initial ninth grade, it has only now stabilized at the fifth grade. It has been a very long process."

Lin Yan smiled.

The fifth and Sixth-class are both Planetary level, which can be reached by adults.

Among the billions of races in the Cosmic Humans, there are quite a few that can reach the fifth level, but many of them have never had an immortal being in their history. The price that Earth has paid for this in the past three thousand years is astronomical!

This is under the condition that the population growth is relatively slow. If there is an explosive growth, even if Feng Wang Immortal God were to give up all his wealth, he would not be able to bear it.

"Because our bloodline has stabilized at the fifth level and Planetary level are now widespread, we are considering starting another large-scale transformation of Earth to increase its population capacity," Wen Zhi'an said.

"For example, by utilizing marine resources and coordinating the ocean and land, the entire Earth's natural system can be made more perfect. Also, by using the technology of floating cities in space, it is easy to build hundreds or even thousands of stories high, making efficient use of space."

"As for planting, animal husbandry, industry, and so on, they were all transferred to those Cave World, while the space on Earth was fully guaranteed to ensure the reproduction of future generations."

"The difficulty of perpetuating the bloodline among Planetary level, and the greater the superior the genes, the greater the difficulty in reproducing offspring, was already overcome by them 900 years ago with the development of science and technology," Wen Zhi'an said with a smile. "You said that outstanding individuals emerging in various fields should be taught according to their aptitude, especially with the assistance of the virtual world 'Second World,' the various knowledge in the universe represents a revolutionary innovation for the original natural sciences."

Lin Yan felt a sense of satisfaction as he listened to Wen Zhi'an's words.

Just like cultivation, it places great importance on a solid foundation. As the saying goes, "Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood." It does have many more radical methods that could make the speed of Earth's development even more unimaginable, but the consequence of doing so is that many things will inevitably be neglected.

Three thousand years.

In these three thousand years, the Earth has indeed developed rapidly, but in Lin Yan's eyes, this is just to lay a solid foundation.

Improving their bloodline genes allows their talents to more easily overcome thresholds. If even becoming Planetary level requires "one in ten thousand" or "one in a million," then there's no point in discussing anything else.

Improving spiritual civilization means enabling them to maintain their independence while fully integrating into Cosmic civilization, and to possess an indomitable spirit to face even greater storms in the starry sky.

Only when the foundation is truly solid can one truly soar to Nine Heavens!

Furthermore, with the safety of Earth no longer a concern, it is clear that... such an opportunity has arrived.

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Yan's mind, but since he would be staying on Earth for a while, he wasn't in a hurry to deal with them.

What he was more concerned about at the moment was... what exactly was the deeper meaning that the Mu Xing Country Lord had meant at that time?

Although it doesn't really matter, the fact that it reached her ears is something worth paying attention to.

"Zhi'an, have any problems arisen during this time? Or are there any difficulties that are hard to handle?" Lin Yan asked with concern.

"No." Wen Zhi'an was a little puzzled as to why he asked that, but then suddenly remembered something and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Hmm?" Lin Yan knew her all too well, and a thought flashed through his mind. "Is it related to the two children?"

He really couldn't think of any problem that could have occurred on Earth. Judging from her attitude, he quickly thought of Lin Xiao and Lin Du. Could it be that they were in some kind of trouble?

"Xiaodu left Earth a long time ago to go to space for training, but so far nothing has gone wrong," Wen Zhi'an said softly. "The main problem is Lin Xiao. He seems to have developed feelings for a girl with a powerful background, which has caused him some obstacles. However, he said he could handle it and didn't tell me to tell you."

Lin Yan's expression immediately became extremely strange.

Why... does this feel so familiar?
