Earth Two Thousand Years Later

Virtual Universe, Thunder Island.

On the edge of the island, a pavilion stands on a giant reef with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, exuding an ancient charm.

In the Seaside Pavilion.

A handsome man dressed in golden armor sat there, watching the endless waves crashing Thunder Island, and in the distance, he could see countless electric snakes flowing and coiling around the endless island.

In the distance behind him, a Majestic Palace could be seen, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

On that palace were two large golden characters— Xuanyuan!

Suddenly--

Two figures appeared in the Seaside Pavilion as if they had teleported.

"Teacher, True Yan King." Lin Yan smiled and stood up to greet him.

"Haha, good lad." The burly ape-man wearing Golden Battle Armor stepped forward, full of admiration. "Since you broke through to the World Master, we haven't heard much from you for over two thousand years. But you've really made a name for yourself! First, you broke through the World Lord level Tongtian Mountain, and now you've made such a big splash!"

"A genius, huh?" Lin Yan grinned.

"But this is too much of a genius." True Yan King shook his head and sighed. "When I heard the news, I couldn't believe it. You've only been cultivating for a short time, and you've already caught up with me."

"I can testify to that," King Tong Nan teased. "Ever since I heard that you have already reached the Invincible Feng Wang, Zhen Yan has been questioning his life."

A smile crept across his lips, "I bet... he's worried about whether you might reach the Venerable level before him."

"Ah, this!" True Yan King stared at King Tong Nan full of black lines.

That's why they call him brothers in arms; he has a firm grasp on his mentality.

True Yan King had witnessed Lin Yan's growth all along, and seeing how powerful he had become, he was naturally happy for him. However, amidst his happiness, True Yan King also felt a bit conflicted.

When Lin Yan was at the Cosmic level, I was the Invincible Feng Wang.

When Lin Yan was the Invincible Feng Wang, I was the Invincible Feng Wang.

Will I still be Invincible Feng Wang when Lin Yan becomes Universe Venerable?

Lin Yan chuckled lightly, "This is Universe Venerable, how could it be so easy..."

Both being Invincible Feng Wang, Lin Yan still has a long way to go in terms of both Space Law and Time Law. However, True Yan King is only one step away from becoming Universe Venerable. If things go as they did in the original story, he could become a "True Yan Venerable" in a few thousand years.

"I knew you teachers were coming, so I specially prepared some fine wine." Lin Yan grinned and with a flick of his hand, a crystal-clear Strange Beast shaped wine bottle appeared, engraved with intricate Law Secret Patterns.

As soon as he uncorked the bottle, the surrounding air was filled with a rich, refreshing fragrance. Even powerful figures like True Yan King and King Tong Nan felt a kind of intoxication on a conscious level, as if all their worries and troubles had disappeared.

Call!

Three crystal wine cups appeared on the stone table in the Seaside Pavilion, and pale golden wine was poured out.

"This is... the Nine Secrets Golden Spring!"

True Yan King's eyes widened as he stared intently at the wine in the cup, nodding repeatedly. "That's right, it's this... Tsk tsk, one of the most precious wines among the human race, extremely rare. In reality, even Peak Feng Wang Expert would have to go bankrupt to taste a cup. Even in the Virtual Universe, the price is only one-thousandth of that in reality, but only Universe Venerable or above has the authority to purchase it!"

"Lin Yan, your access is truly outrageous. You can even buy the Nine Secrets Golden Spring. I've never even had a taste of it. I'm only getting this thanks to you." True Yan King beamed, completely forgetting his previous dilemma.

Normally, he would refuse.

But Lin Yan is now on par with him, so there's no need to be overly polite.

In the Virtual Universe, hundreds of millions of Hun Yuan Unit are still required, but for Lin Yan now, this amount of money is not a problem.

They sat in the Seaside Pavilion, drinking and chatting happily.

Lin Yan also asked them for some secrets and experiences. There were some things that he didn't need to know when he was at his previous level, so he was too lazy to say much. But now that he was at his current level, he had to explain in more detail.

The journey of True Yan King and King Tong Nan was not as smooth as Lin Yan's. They had experienced many storms and lessons that Lin Yan could learn from.

As Lin Yan listened, he was also thinking.

He knew very well...

Although he can now be considered Invincible Feng Wang, in terms of martial arts alone, he is still not ranked among the top in terms of combat power at the same level. His only advantage lies in... the Supreme Treasure!

Take True Yan King for example. His Life Gene Level has increased tenfold, and he has created several Peak Ultimate Skills, some of which are close to the Ultimate Technique. If compared with him, even if Lin Yan has the "Jun Tian Fist Armor", he is still slightly inferior.

After all, he was only World Master, and his power foundation was barely equivalent to the limit of burning Immortal Divine Body at the Feng Wang Limit. In addition, his cultivation time was short, and he had not done well in terms of secret techniques and ultimate skills. Even his Law Comprehension had a lot of room for improvement.

In other words...

Lin Yan still has a lot of room for improvement.

"I need to fully comprehend 'Space Strangulation' so that my true self can use the Supreme Treasure Void Wings the Void.' I also need to find Plant Lifeform at the Peak Feng Wang. The Black Phoenix Armor is much stronger than the Solar Divine Armor, and I need to put more effort into my secret techniques and ultimate skills," Lin Yan thought to himself.

"First, cultivate the Black Hole Sacred Body to the third level, take this opportunity to arrange things on Earth, and then we must begin the next stage of our cultivation plan."

Upon learning of Lin Yan's return, his youngest son Lin Du, also returned to Earth via Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

Unlike Lin Xiao, who remained at the Cosmic level and only aimed to conquer the Glory Tongtian Mountain, Lin Du reached the World Lord peak in just a few hundred years.

In fact.

Lin Xiao is a martial artist, Lin Yan naturally believes that he should walk his own path and provides him with very little help. Lin Du, on the other hand, is not interested in combat and prefers research, so Lin Yan supports him in many ways.

Whether it's knowledge or materials, they are by no means easily obtained unless you come from a good background.

However, to be honest, Lin Yan wasn't too worried. In terms of knowledge, after obtaining permission from his teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, he could freely use countless books about pharmacists in the Knowledge Repository. In terms of resources, the profits of Jiuzhou Company could easily cover the costs.

Unlike before, when the company relied on the game "Kunlun" as its mainstay, Jiuzhou Company's biggest cash cow now is the "tea" industry.

In just two thousand years of development...

The Jiuzhou Company has carefully selected and produced hundreds of types of "tea," with the most expensive selling for 600,000 Hun Yuan Unit per serving, and demand still exceeds supply.

Virtual Universe are protected by patents. Even if other companies discover some secrets, they cannot copy them, otherwise they will have to pay huge patent royalties.

In reality, patent protection can only cover a small area, and the difficulty of supervision is too great, so it can be regarded as almost non-existent.

However, considering Lin Yan's status, those prominent large companies and families simply don't dare to compete with him for profits. If they were to provoke such an enemy for the sake of some interests, such as the Feng Wang Immortal God and Universe Venerable behind them, they would probably find it difficult to even die.

At most, it's just some minor squabbles by family members or small factions, with very limited impact.

This directly led to Jiuzhou Company's business becoming incredibly prosperous!

Luo Feng's wife, Xu Xin, is in charge of the online catering business and fully embodies the qualities of a strong woman. The online catering projects operated by Jiuzhou Company are now spread across various star regions and planes, such as the "Ganwu Continent," and are gradually being expanded to star regions and planes such as the "Black Dragon Mountain Island."

In fact, it is quite difficult to do this.

Because of the differences in taste, the research, adjustments and updates to the menu all take a lot of time. But interestingly, no matter where Jiuzhou Restaurant opens, the signature dishes it offers are all authentic Huaxia flavors.

Of course, due to the constant changes in ingredients and seasonings, the current Huaxia flavor is not the same as before. It can only be said that it is derived from it. After Lin Yan tried it himself, even with his current perspective, he was very satisfied.

This unique feature is a distinctive characteristic of Jiuzhou Restaurant.

As for "Jiuzhou Star," the center of the offline business landscape, it is now becoming increasingly prosperous, no less so than "Fengtian Star" and "Qiongyu Star," which are extremely famous planets in the Ganwu Universe Country!

To ensure the stability of Jiuzhou Star, Lin Yan, after some consideration, also provided some assistance to the Time World Lord "Luo," not only enabling him to successfully break through to Immortality, but also achieving the Initial Feng Hou upon breakthrough!

This is mainly because Luo himself had accumulated a great deal of knowledge. If he hadn't had a high level of understanding of the Time Law, he wouldn't have had such ambition and would have faced the predicament of almost reaching the end of his lifespan.

Through the Jiuzhou Star, Lin Du invented some common medicines, which, after being studied and formulated by Earth researchers, also became a very considerable industry.

Long ago, a Western scholar said that Huaxia was not a country, but a civilization disguised as a "country".

Lin Yan back now...

He doesn't seem to have really done anything. Whether it's serendipitous encounters or spoils of war, aside from the "Loch God Water Lake," he has almost always used them for his own growth and doesn't need to care much about the development of the Earth.

All he left behind was a spark.

However, as he grew, his body was able to easily withstand external storms, ensuring that the flame would not be extinguished.

Thus... this spark ignited civilization and illuminated the path in the initial darkness.

That was the spark that ignited the rise of the Earth from the forest of humanity.

And in this prosperous yet primitive and wild world, an even greater fire was ignited.

Just like the future that Lin Yan, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God imagined when they left Earth and embarked on new adventures in the universe.

Time has never failed their ideals.

But for both them and for Earth's civilization, this first realized blueprint was just the beginning.

The Solar System, Earth.

Tianjing City, Han Jin Pavilion.

This place used to be a gathering place for Huaxia Planetary level parliamentarians, and during that period it had special political significance. As time went on, this political significance not only did not weaken, but became stronger.

Only a very small number of people who have made significant contributions to Earth Humanity are qualified to enter Han Jin Pavilion.

Because of cultivation, many outstanding figures on Earth have long lifespans. However, in order to ensure that the younger generation receives sufficient training and a stage for development, and to allow themselves to focus their energy entirely on cultivation, they do not serve in their posts for excessively long periods.

But everyone on Earth who has power knows that so-called power is nothing compared to what truly resides in the clouds.

That seemed to be the world behind the Heavenly Ladder, transcending the mundane, and it inspired countless ambitious Earthling to try and open that door.

Rumor has it that everyone who enters Han Jin Pavilion will receive an invaluable Domain Lord level Bloodline evolution agent. Once this agent is used, one's genes will be modified, and one will surely become a Domain Lord!

Even the possibility of breaking through to the World Master will be greatly increased.

This precious Domain Lord level Bloodline evolution agent, along with other S, SS, and SSS-level Bloodline evolution agent, were left behind by "Lin Yan," the most dazzling legendary leader in Earth's history.

Han Jin Pavilion.

The emerald green bamboo forest gleamed with a jade-like luster, and the sound of the wind was quiet. As Lin Yan walked slowly along the corridor, he seemed to see the past. Although it had been rebuilt, the various furnishings and layouts were no different from those of three thousand years ago.

That elegance and simplicity remain unchanged.

He looked at the lake, its surface rippling with golden light under the sun. Lin Yan chuckled and called out, "Good Dragon Child."

Wow!

Suddenly, a monster with emerald green scales appeared on the lake.

When it saw Lin Yan, it was initially a little confused, but suddenly its bluish eyes burst with joy, and it swam from the center of the lake to the shore in an instant, letting out a low murmur.

East Sea Azure Dragon.

This King level monster, raised by the Huaxia, was able to communicate with Lin Yan using his Mental Power, and he naturally felt close to it. After Lin Yan came into contact with the universe, he fed it many strange fruits, which made the East Sea Azure Dragon feel almost like a child.

Fortunately, if it had grown naturally, it would have been difficult for the East Sea Azure Dragon to reach the Planetary level. But because of this connection, it is now at the peak of the Cosmic level. And for a long lifespan, its beastly life has only just begun.

Lin Yan stroked its head, then flipped his hand and took out a pale blue fruit, tossing it away.

"Go ahead," he said with a smile.

"Waaah—"

With a low roar, the East Sea Azure Dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the pale blue fruit. It quickly felt various changes in its body and soon sank into the water to absorb the fruit's unique medicinal effects.

Moment.

Jia Yi walked up behind him and smiled, "You certainly have some free time."

"We can't be tense all the time." Lin Yan turned to look at him and smiled. "Speaking of which, I asked you to keep an eye out for any particularly outstanding geniuses on Earth. What happened?"

When Lin Yan broke through to the World Lord level and left, there were only a handful of Domain Lord level and a few Cosmic level on Earth.

Of course, these few Domain Lord level individuals were all achieved by Lin Yan through the expenditure of resources, including Jia Yi and Liu Mingxuan. As for the Cosmic level, it was also inseparable from the opportunities obtained in the Cave World. Under normal circumstances, such a possibility would definitely not exist.

Cosmic level, that's considered to have stepped into the threshold of becoming a strong being in the universe.

Now, more than two thousand years later, there are only about thirty people qualified to enter the Han Jin Pavilion during this period. Most of them are martial artists and Mental Master who have become famous in the Cave World, and a few are ordinary cultivators who have achieved amazing success in other fields.

Among these people, most have become domain lords due to the use of Domain Lord level Bloodline evolution agent and other resources, while the rest are at the Cosmic level or higher.

Two thousand years is a very long time in the history of Earth Humanity, yet only more than 30 people are qualified to enter the Han Jin Pavilion, which shows how strict the requirements are.

Lin Yan paid attention to this and found that none of them had a poor state of mind or will. None of them had reached the third level of mental state, but more than half of them had reached the second level of mental state, "Unity of Heaven and Man"!

It must be said that, after being fully nurtured and having their potential explored, each of these thirty-odd people, in Lin Yan's view, has the potential to become Immortal God.

If one is lucky or has sufficient resources, it is not impossible to be Marquis or King Rank.

As for Universe Venerable and the like, they are too distant, and we do not yet have experience in this area, so they are not worth discussing.

However, for Earth, they are not the only ones with potential. There are many others whose achievements are not enough to enter the Han Jin Pavilion, but who have even greater potential.

Lin Yan's return this time was largely due to his desire to pave a longer road for them.

At the same time, I also want to know if any truly promising talents or geniuses have emerged on Earth.
