Earth's Rise

With three clones—the Golden Feather Clan adept at gold and space laws, the Flame God race likewise adept at gold and space laws, and Bolan adept at wind and space laws—on top of the Golden Horned Beast itself being adept at gold and space laws, Jin Yu no longer knew just how powerful his Law of Gold and Law of Space had become.

Originally, Jin Yu had thought that an Energy lifeform similar to a Demon Killer Clan clone, or a clone with an enormous body, would be best. For one thing, their talents would be strong enough; for another, they would not fear soul attacks.

But then he considered the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual and the cheat that allowed his clones to exist independently. His survival was completely guaranteed.

The second issue was talent. What could possibly be stronger than the Perfect Clone Talent? With the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual boosting his genes by several hundred times, the Demon Killer Clan was nothing but trash. Flesh-type lifeforms were the true path.

As for body size, a Perfect Clone was ninety thousand kilometers tall. There was absolutely no need for anything smaller than that. Even if he wanted a gigantic body, his primary targets would be the son of the Nine Nether Sea and the son of the World Tree.

But those were matters to consider only after reaching World Master level, nowhere near something he needed to think about now.

Still, before his clones finished gestating, Jin Yu did not idle around. While cultivating without pause, he also constantly provoked his junior brothers, pushing them to improve quickly.

"Four junior brothers, if any one of you can touch me today—even just my clothes or a single hair—then no questions asked, each of you gets one Hun Yuan unit!" Jin Yu arrogantly floated above the Pacific Ocean.

The original trio, along with Jia Yi, had all become Jin Yu's junior brothers. He was the eldest senior brother, Luo Feng the second senior brother, Hong the third senior brother, Thor the fourth senior brother, and Jia Yi the junior brother.

As for all the other geniuses on Earth, they were ranked below them and became something like disciples' disciples.

With that lineup, Hu Yanbo would be guaranteed to become a Universe Master even if he spent his days lying down. Every last one of them was a top-tier genius destined to soar.

After a year of cultivation, combined with the Golden Horned Beast's Talent Amplification and the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual's enhancement, his rate of progress had increased enormously.

In terms of law cultivation, he had already crossed the threshold of the Law of Space, while the Golden Law had advanced by a huge margin.

The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual had also reached twelvefold, completing the first three tribulations.

Compared to the rookie he had been a year ago, Jin Yu had long since undergone a complete transformation.

Hong and Thor's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Dense Dark Domain energy permeated around Hong, while endless Lightning Domain energy crackled around Thor.

Thanks to Jin Yu's preferential allocation of resources and Babata's training, the two leaders of Earth were improving even faster than they had in the original story.

Jia Yi, standing not far away, was surprisingly also emanating the aura of a domain. It was tranquil water flow, yet it contained tremendous power.

He had never gotten the chance to shine in the original story, but now that Jin Yu was making up for that regret, this guardian of China was displaying boundless potential as well.

Luo Feng stood atop the Sky-Escaping Shuttle, with golden blades floating around him. They were the Yan Shen Bing! After the Golden Horned Beast broke through, his Human Clone had also finished gestating early and received the Yan Shen Bing bestowed by Jin Yu.

Though arrogant, Jin Yu still focused intently. None of the people before him were simple characters, and with their domains reinforcing them, they could not be underestimated. If he carelessly let them touch him, it would be truly embarrassing.

Besides, to give them some hope, he could not use laws. Otherwise, it would be far too unfair. Those crafty fellows had no interest in coming over to be beaten up.

"Take my perfected World Annihilation!" Hong thrust his black spear lightly toward Jin Yu.

Babata watched the battle from afar with a broad smile, munching sunflower seeds as he observed through a projection.

"Not bad. He's practically a born warrior. As expected of a battle genius. The power of a Third Level domain is absolutely comparable to that of ordinary geniuses with Fourth or Fifth Level domains."

"This feels wonderful. Happiness came too suddenly, but I like it."

Like an old man from the past lounging in a recliner beneath the sun, Babata wore a kindly smile.

He had waited fifty thousand years, yet with one move, he had taken in a whole group of super geniuses.

Watching Hong and Thor get sent flying by a single sweep of Jin Yu's staff, his smile became even kinder.

"Damn it, this is how life should be! There really is something wrong with Earth—a huge problem. There are just too damn many geniuses!" Watching Jin Yu use the Yan Shen Bing like a club, Babata's thoughts began to wander.

Ever since the training camp had been established on Earth, all the world's top geniuses had been gathered in one sweep.

With complete equipment available, large-scale testing had been carried out across the world, screening out geniuses whose Mental Master talents had previously been overlooked.

Several hundred Mental Masters had been picked out from all kinds of people. Without that extensive screening, these people would have wasted their talents for the rest of their lives.

They had even found three ordinary people with powerful mind cultivation, reaching the second and third levels.

One was an elderly professor in China who studied ancient culture. His mind cultivation had reached an extremely profound level, and he was about to enter the third level.

One was an ancient martial arts instructor. He had no Warrior talent, but possessed a sincere heart for martial arts and had reached the second level.

The last was an astronomy researcher, filled with curiosity and a desire to explore the universe. He had likewise reached the second level of mind cultivation.

Because of Jin Yu's promise, all of them had been raised to Stellar level.

It could be said that with Jin Yu's investment of resources, countless buried geniuses were rising.

Oh, there was also one matter worth mentioning. In Base cities outside China, everyone except those of Chinese descent and those with exceptionally strong financial talent had been sent by Jin Yu to live and develop on a larger planet.

Earth's backward civilization was not suited to them. Just look at how broad-minded Jin Yu was.

After Jin Yu, Hong, and the others studied the matter together, they discovered that Chinese was the best language for mind cultivation. Therefore, foreign languages were directly discarded, and the entire world adopted Chinese as its unified language.

From then on, Earth's development headed in a new direction.

In the end, although no one had managed to touch Jin Yu, he still transferred one Hun Yuan unit to each of them.

"Senior Brother, seeing how generous you are, I won't pursue the matter of you smashing my head with that staff." Thor stared ecstatically at the transfer notification, rubbing his imposing bald head. The lump on it no longer seemed to hurt so much.

Hong, beside him, rubbed his eye sockets. This senior brother really struck hard. Was it necessary to beat both his eye sockets into panda eyes just because he had launched a sneak attack?

Luo Feng had it a little better. As a controller, he had been attacking from afar the whole time, and Jin Yu had deliberately gone easy on him. Only his swollen backside, hidden from others, bore the damage.

In Jin Yu's words: "You dared to control Little Gold to aim at my ass. I already gave you face by not blowing your ass apart."

Jia Yi calmly glanced at the three of them. What a bunch of people with no martial ethics. They should learn from him and withdraw from the battlefield early. If he could not win, could he not at least hide? This old man would develop quietly and lie back for an easy victory.

"Alright. Given how terribly weak you all are, you need to properly strengthen your foundations. And I need to teach you some basic knowledge about the universe." Jin Yu got a taste of what it felt like to enjoy teaching others.

"Being able to comprehend a domain at Planetary level already makes one a genius. Now, with the Warrior pods I provided, you have reached Stellar level nine, and your comprehension has increased several hundredfold. What you need to do in the future is comprehend laws. I demonstrated their power to you before, so I'm sure you felt just how powerful laws are."

"Laws? So laws are above domains!" Thor exclaimed noisily.

"You could put it that way." Jin Yu had wanted to explain that above domains were worlds, but after thinking about it, saying that laws were above domains did not seem wrong either. "Domains are generally a standard ability for Domain Lord experts, but Stellar level geniuses in the universe usually master domains. Once a domain reaches the Eighth or Ninth Level, one can vaguely sense the corresponding laws."

"Of course, that's only under normal circumstances. Exceptional geniuses, like me, can directly skip domains and sense laws." Jin Yu openly praised himself, making the four of them break out in black lines.

But circumstances were stronger than people. They really had no way to refute him, or they would get beaten up.

Those who could not fight had no rights!
