"Big Brother." Luo Feng arrived at Jin Yu's super villa on the Australian continent.
"Taken care of?" Jin Yu casually took a sip of red wine. That single glass alone cost over a hundred million Black Dragon Coins.
"Taken care of. With the Scorpion couple's vicious nature, only death would ensure they posed no threat." Luo Feng spoke indifferently. "But Li Yao actually broke through to the Planetary level before he died. That surprised me a little."
"Oh? He certainly had plenty of scenes, then." Jin Yu clicked his tongue in amazement. He had not expected Li Yao to still break through at the moment of death this time.
As a villain, he had definitely gotten plenty of screen time.
Later in the original story, King-level beings, Venerables, and even Masters of the Universe died within half a chapter, sometimes without even having names. For a mere apprentice to last through so many chapters, he had at least made an appearance.
But it also woke Jin Yu up. Weakness was the original sin. To possess absolute autonomy, one needed sufficient talent and strength.
"But Big Brother, the food and wine here have truly opened my eyes. Could I take some back to enjoy slowly?" Luo Feng asked with an innocent, expectant expression.
Yet his hands showed no restraint as he continuously ate and drank the delicacies and wine. By now, he had grown familiar with Jin Yu and knew that Jin Yu disliked putting on airs. Being casual was fine.
"Get lost. You want to take some for yourself?" Jin Yu looked at Luo Feng's pretentious act with amusement. He clearly wanted to bring it back for his family to enjoy, yet insisted on pretending that he wanted it himself.
He had taken so much from the other party already, so he did not mind Luo Feng taking a little from him in return.
"There are some cultivation resources in here, along with an unregistered helmet. Take them back with you. Instructions for use are included." As Jin Yu spoke, he waved his hand and tossed Luo Feng a Space Ring.
Besides some basic cultivation resources for Luo Feng's parents, it also contained combinations of Stellar-level and Universe-level metals required by the Golden Horned Beast.
Luo Feng was already burdened by so many debts that one more made little difference. He silently remembered it in his heart.
He also clearly remembered something Babata had once said: "Don't try to save money for your Senior Brother. He's a super tycoon. Even if you sold the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain, it still wouldn't be worth as much as his wealth."
The Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain! That was a mid-level Universe Country! Even selling the entire place as a package would not equal his Big Brother's assets. Luo Feng had no idea what kind of level that was anymore.
He had become this rich after just one trip into the universe? Ridiculous!
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was July of 2058.
This day was incomparably important to Jin Yu.
"The main body has finally reached the Universe level!" Jin Yu was thrilled. The Golden Horned Beast was unlike the Human Clone; it had to devour metals in order to advance.
Moreover, after reaching the Universe level, his ability to preserve his life would reach a terrifying degree.
"It's time to nurture new clones." Jin Yu had waited for this day for a very, very long time.
The main body could nurture a second Golden Horned Beast, and the two Golden Horned Beast clones could each nurture their own new secondary clones.
The first Golden Horned Beast clone had already nurtured the Human Clone, and he had long prepared for its next clone. The second Golden Horned Beast clone likewise still had two clone slots.
He had thoroughly considered these three clones during this period and had made his own arrangements.
For a long time to come, he would be unable to add any more clones. He would have to wait until the World Master level, so the Law of Time or the Law of Space would be his first choice.
After all, whether it was the laws of time and space or the Fusion Law, one could not break through to become a Master of the Universe without the Law of Space and the Law of Time. One of the two was mandatory.
Having long experienced the benefits brought by Talent Amplification, Jin Yu followed the principle that the strong should become stronger and focused on mastering one thing completely. Thus, he set his sights on those beloved by space.
With the enhancement of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, Flesh-type lifeforms became his first choice.
Through the channels of Universe First Bank, under the name of genetic laboratory research, he spent a total bounty of 110,000 Hun Yuan units before finally gathering three suitable clone materials.
However, the bounties had all been posted through several slaves under his command, to prevent other issues from arising. The universe was so vast, and with the orders split apart and placed through Universe First Bank's channels, no one besides the five major powers could possibly trace them back to him.
Moreover, using the authority of his Five-star account and information Babata had searched out, organizations placing bounties on all kinds of bloodlines and Human Race species were countless throughout the universe at every moment. His actions were not conspicuous at all.
Of course, even if they traced it back to him, it did not matter. Was there anything wrong with researching a genius's genes? No! It was just experimentation.
Didn't believe him? What the hell did he care? Believe it or not. Jin Yu never bowed to anyone! Well, unless they paid more!
Back to the point, Jin Yu had already made detailed arrangements for his clone slots.
Following the principle that the strong became stronger, the three clones were as follows:
The first clone was a Golden Feather race member, a peak existence whose bloodline ranked among the top ten human bloodlines in the entire universe. It stood alongside the Manka Star people and Aragami race people mentioned in the original story. Even without cultivation, it could easily become a powerful "Domain Lord" upon reaching adulthood.
However, that was not Jin Yu's main reason for choosing it. This race was naturally gifted in the Law of Gold and the Law of Space. Although it could not compare to the Golden Horned Beast, it was still extremely powerful.
There was also good news: like the Manka Star people and others, this race was naturally born with a threefold Gene strength level.
Combining all these advantages, it met nearly all his requirements: a Flesh-type lifeform, the Golden Void Law, and powerful base Gene strength.
Since all he needed was hair and the like, the cost was not high. For 10,000 Hun Yuan units, he purchased the genes of the strongest genius in that race through several research institutions.
After all, researching the secrets of genetic evolution in peak Human Race bloodlines had always been one of the things research institutions were most passionate about.
Whether in battle or adventure, there were always countless opportunities to obtain body tissues and the like from these races.
As for why the bounty had reached 10,000 Hun Yuan units, it included requirements such as verifying the information and obtaining the freshest body tissues on site.
Furthermore, the other party's planet was extremely remote and distant, and many people were unwilling to risk offending the Golden Feather Clan. Otherwise, it definitely would not have cost more than 100 Hun Yuan units.
The second clone was a Flame God race clone, an existence naturally blessed with incomparably powerful physical talent. Its Life Gene Level would naturally increase along with cultivation. It was simply that everyone's talent differed, and so did the extent of that increase.
Like Earthlings, they were an existence given special advantages by the King of Gods of Advancement. The allure to Jin Yu of combining unparalleled physical talent with the Earthlings' uniquely blessed soul Talent Amplification was self-evident.
Ordinary Flame God race members generally only reached fivefold to tenfold Gene strength. Those with exceptional talent could reach hundreds or even thousands of times through cultivation and evolution. The most outstanding, such as the Flame Emperor, had reached a Gene strength level of over ten thousand times.
The Flame God race member Jin Yu placed a bounty on was also a genius. He possessed formidable talent, was naturally attuned to the Law of Gold and the Law of Space, and had tenfold base Gene strength.
However, this clone material cost Jin Yu the most. He spent a full 50,000 Hun Yuan units before obtaining the other party's hair.
There was no helping it. The Flame God race was a powerful race. Although its foundation was far inferior to that of the Human Clan, it was still far beyond what the Golden Feather Clan could compare with.
Naturally, its protection of geniuses was much more thorough, requiring a greater price to be paid. Yet driven by the enormous profit of a 50,000 Hun Yuan unit bounty, countless organizations and laboratories acted, easily obtaining hair tissue from that race's strongest genius.
The third clone was Bolan's genes, obtained through an enormous bounty. The target's characteristics were: from the Noah Universe Country, liked wearing white clothes, Stellar level, not good with words, skilled in the Law of Wind and Space! At the same time, his Law of Space had reached over a hundred phantom bodies.
The bounty for this clone was completed with unexpected speed. Once the information Jin Yu provided was combined, the target was actually very easy to locate. It was nearly impossible for anyone to impersonate him.
Furthermore, the bounty was not for murder, only a single strand of the other party's hair. As long as the Virtual Universe determined that it met the requirements, whoever obtained Bolan's hair and handed it to Universe First Bank could collect 50,000 Hun Yuan units.
This tempted many Immortal powerhouses, even Marquis-level Immortals. For a time, it threw the Noah Universe Country into a state of panic.
Jin Yu did not know whether Bolan had submitted it himself, whether his teacher had submitted it, or whether certain powerhouses had forcibly obtained it. In any case, it took less than a month.
But none of that mattered. The clones Jin Yu had prepared for himself were all in hand. The foundation was laid; now all that remained was to consider the posture in which he would soar.
