New Members of the Eternal Land

The Cultivator Territory had been completely reclaimed, and only then did the eight Lords truly relax.

"Starlight, you'll need to set up those damaged Space-Time Nets again," Yuan instructed.

"Destroying them is easy, but setting them up again is far more troublesome." Starlight Lord rarely showed a trace of helplessness. "Repairing all the damaged Space-Time Nets will take at least a thousand epochs of work."

When they had decided to expand their territory, the Cultivator Faction had selected the densest cluster of 3,600 world clusters precisely because some world clusters lay too far apart, making the deployment of Space-Time Nets drastically more difficult.

Even merely "repairing" the Space-Time Nets across several hundred world clusters would require Starlight Lord to toil for a thousand epochs.

"Brother Starlight, you've worked hard. If you need our help, just say the word," Luo Feng said.

"Repairing the Space-Time Nets only requires some special materials." Wulan, standing nearby, smiled. "Starlight is far wealthier than you, Luo Feng. Why would he need your help?"

Starlight shook his head. "There really is something extremely important that I need Luo Feng's help with."

"Oh?" Luo Feng was curious.

"Once everything is prepared, I'll explain it to you in detail." Starlight smiled faintly. As the being with the greatest attainments in space-time within the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, he could be considered the one who understood the Infinite Primal Chaos Space most deeply.

He had troubles of his own, but none of the other Lords could help him. Once Luo Feng, who had mastered two Primal Chaos Paths, emerged, perhaps he might be able to help.

In the future Starlight had observed, Luo Feng, having mastered two Paths of the Life and Death category, possessed vastly greater frontal combat power.

"Fine. Call on me whenever you need." Luo Feng nodded. He greatly admired Starlight; Starlight's contributions to the entire Cultivator Faction had been enormous! As long as Starlight asked, Luo Feng would naturally be happy to help.

Jin watched this scene from the side.

He and Luo Feng could be called a perfect combination. With Luo Feng present, Jin could use the forbidden techniques of the Burning Main Combat Avatar as though they were ordinary moves! Luo Feng could also shield him from countless dangers. Yet the lingering dissatisfaction in Jin's heart kept him from speaking again.

"Luo Feng, if you're willing to help Starlight, you'll have to help me in the future too," Lord Moman said with a smile.

"As long as I have time, I can help whenever you wish," Luo Feng said.

Minghuang smiled faintly from the side. By now, she also understood Luo Feng's temperament well. She knew that if she asked, Luo Feng would certainly help.

Jin, Moman, and Minghuang—the three of them were all highly suited to working with Luo Feng! Once they cooperated, they might even achieve an effect where one plus one was greater than three.

"Next, let's properly rebuild the territories that were previously damaged," Yuan said.

The Lords all nodded.

Each of their territories contained portions of Fallen Territory. During the period of occupation, they had all suffered varying degrees of destruction.

The Cultivator Territory entered a period of massive reconstruction, and the entire faction finally returned to peace.

The Innate Primal Chaos Faction, which had suffered severe losses, and the Ice Peak Faction, which had just suffered a setback, did not come to provoke the Cultivator Faction again. As for the other weaker forces, they were even less likely to dare show themselves at such a time.

The 3,600 world clusters gradually returned to their former way of life.

Within one Source World in the Dark World Cluster.

Inside a sealed cave dwelling.

Only one living being dwelled there in solitude.

"Endure it!"

"I can definitely endure it!"

A figure was curled up there, trembling as his consciousness sank and struggled through endless illusions.

He was Hall Master Yuan Xiang, the City Builder of Rain Ripple City. After leaving Rain Ripple City to Luo Feng, he had dispersed all his external avatars and returned to his home Source World, doing everything in his power to resist the pollution.

Yet as time passed, the Memory Pollution grew ever more severe. He could no longer regain clarity and struggled within illusions at every moment.

His powerful will to survive was still fighting.

He refused to accept it!

After breaking free from one layer of illusion, another awaited him.

He could not even tell whether he was in reality or an illusion.

"Ahhh! I can't tell! I can't tell reality from illusion!" Hall Master Yuan Xiang was in indescribable agony.

"If I know that I can't tell them apart, then I haven't completely sunk into it yet."

Hall Master Yuan Xiang's consciousness had already been deeply eroded by the pollution. Only his powerful will was sustaining him.

"Brother Yuan Xiang! Brother Yuan Xiang!"

A voice rang out.

Rumble—

A force forcibly broke through the sealed cave dwelling and appeared beside Hall Master Yuan Xiang.

"I sent messages, but received no response at all. He has even completely lost control over his own cave dwelling." This figure looked at the twisted, trembling Hall Master Yuan Xiang and shook his head softly.

This was the guide who had led him onto the path of cultivation, a being who had once mastered two Half Primal Chaos Paths! Yet now, he could not even spare the focus to control his own cave dwelling.

He could no longer divide off even a trace of thought and had lost all perception of the outside world.

"Elder Brother, your luck truly is excellent." The blue-robed figure stretched out a hand holding a jade vial. A crystalline drop fell onto Hall Master Yuan Xiang and seeped into his body.

The crystalline drop merged into Hall Master Yuan Xiang's soul, washing away all filth and making his soul much stronger.

Hall Master Yuan Xiang opened his eyes. He stared blankly at the scene within the cave dwelling before him, at the blue-clad man standing in front of him.

"This is reality."

Hall Master Yuan Xiang had never been so certain.

At this moment, he was in exceptionally good condition!

He could even unleash one hundred percent of his peak strength. Although the 'Memory Pollution' remained, his now-powerful soul could fully suppress it.

"Brother Du Fang, what is going on?" Hall Master Yuan Xiang looked at his fellow townsman and friend. "The pollution brought by a High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform should, in principle, only be resisted once my Mind Will breaks free of its shackles. How did I suddenly recover? I even feel that my soul has grown much stronger."

"This is a drop of 'Life Dew' bestowed by the great Lord Luo Feng." Du Fang smiled. "He instructed me to bring it to you. This drop of Life Dew can transform and strengthen your soul, allowing it to naturally suppress the pollution."

For a Lord, there were simply too many ways to deal with Memory Pollution caused by a mere High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeform.

A single drop of Life Dew that nourished the soul was enough.

"Lord Luo Feng also said that if you wish to resolve the Memory Pollution completely, you may go to the Dark World Cluster to see him. He will personally act and erase this hidden Memory Pollution from your soul." Du Fang added, "The Lord also said that now that your soul is stronger, this pollution is not only harmless—it can instead serve as tempering."

Hall Master Yuan Xiang listened in a daze.

"Lord Luo Feng?" Since returning to his hometown Source World, Hall Master Yuan Xiang had sealed himself away and focused solely on resisting the pollution. He knew nothing of the outside world.

"Not long ago, our Cultivator Faction gave birth to a new great Lord—Lord Luo Feng!" Du Fang said excitedly and proudly. "Lord Luo Feng joined forces with Yuan, Jin, and the other Lords, utterly defeating the Innate Primal Chaos Faction! We have won this war completely."

"As Lord Luo Feng's homeland, the Dark World Cluster has also undergone extensive development. The current 'Dark Holy World' is far more prosperous than before. Lord Luo Feng's true body resides in the Dark Holy World, where over a thousand High-Tier Primal Chaos Lifeforms regularly attend upon him. World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeforms even frequently visit him."

Hall Master Yuan Xiang was utterly bewildered.

That...

That young junior Luo Feng, who had possessed considerable talent and resolved the calamity of Rain Ripple City, had become a Lord—the highest level of existence in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space?

Hall Master Yuan Xiang knew very well that Lords were the supreme existences of the Infinite Primal Chaos Space. The ancestors still had flaws and could still perish! But Lords were truly undying and indestructible.

"Luo Feng became a Lord?" Hall Master Yuan Xiang still clearly remembered the scene of his first meeting with Luo Feng.

At the time, he had felt that Luo Feng possessed tremendous potential, far surpassing Hall Master Wei Yang and Hall Master Gai Tao. That was why he had gifted him five billion Primal Chaos Crystals! As for what he later gave Rain Ripple City, that had been because the city was facing a life-or-death calamity, and Luo Feng had saved it. It could not be considered a favor.

The true favor had instead been those five billion Primal Chaos Crystals! To the weak Luo Feng of that time, they had been an immense help! Before that, Luo Feng could only cultivate in a poverty-stricken manner and had not even been willing to purchase Primal Chaos Bloodline references.

"Lord Luo Feng said that you may go to the Dark Holy Land to see him whenever you wish." Du Fang was envious. For a weak cultivator from within a cage to meet a Lord's true body—what an extraordinary opportunity.

"I understand." Hall Master Yuan Xiang knew very clearly that a single act of kindness from him had earned a return greater by countless billions of times.

A favor from a Lord?

Only when a Lord was still weak would one have any hope of doing such a thing.

Dark World Cluster.

Luo Feng gazed into the distance. His eyes passed through countless obstacles and saw Hall Master Yuan Xiang at that very moment.

Along his journey, he remembered everyone who had shown him kindness.

"It is time to make a trip to the Eternal Land."

With a thought from Luo Feng, a strand of his consciousness descended into a patch of void not far from the Eternal Land, beginning to gradually condense an incarnation.

If he were heading into battle, he would naturally dispatch his primary combat avatar! An incarnation absorbed energy far too slowly; restoring it to the strength of a primary combat avatar would be less efficient than simply traveling there.

For merely attending the Eternal Land, an ordinary avatar would suffice.

"Whoosh—"

Within a floating mountain range in the Primal Chaos void, one of Luo Feng's incarnations condensed into form, then slowly began absorbing energy. The incarnation was far too weak, so the energy it absorbed was naturally scarce.

As time passed, like a snowball rolling downhill, the incarnation gradually strengthened, and the amount of energy it absorbed steadily increased.

After roughly one Earth day, it finally recovered about three ten-thousandths of its energy reserves. It could barely be considered a weak avatar now! It could sweep aside every World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform.

"Off to the Eternal Land."

Only then did Luo Feng head for the Eternal Land.

There was no helping it. The Eternal Land suppressed all outsiders with terrifying force. Given the strength of Luo Feng's body, only with three ten-thousandths of his energy reserves did he have complete confidence that he would not be crushed into dust.

The region where Luo Feng had condensed his avatar was very close to the Eternal Land. With the Power of Shadow contained within the crimson robe formed around his body, Luo Feng arrived at the Eternal Land in just a moment.

Boom—

Luo Feng looked upon this vast, flat land and felt the immense pressure it exerted. His three ten-thousandths of energy reserves were equivalent to roughly three percent of Lord Moman's reserves! Yet he still felt pressure. Clearly, the environment here... was suited only for ancestor-level and Lord-level lifeforms.

At the center of this vast, flat land stood only an ancient round table. There were currently twenty-nine seats beside that ancient round table.

"Lord Luo Feng has arrived." An unusual cube spoke beside Luo Feng's ear, its voice carrying goodwill.

"A seat was prepared for you long ago, yet you only came today." Kav Xiu, clad in White Battle Armor, smiled at Luo Feng.

One figure after another appeared.

As long as one left a mark upon a seat for the first time, they could thereafter descend here with a single thought, no longer suffering the Eternal Land's suppression.

Very soon—

A full twenty-eight figures descended and manifested. They included the Cultivator Faction's previous seven Lords, four of the Nine Sovereigns from the Innate Primal Chaos Faction, twelve from the Ice Peak Faction, and five lone wanderers. All of them looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng also walked over to the seat. A wisp of power seeped into it, and with a single thought, he had refined it.

The instant he refined it, Luo Feng sensed the other twenty-eight beings through the Eternal Land.

"Among us, we have gained another companion—Lord Luo Feng!" The strange cube, Demon Ruins, spoke in a resounding voice filled with joy.

Within the Infinite Primal Chaos Space, only these undying, indestructible beings could remain players on the board forever! The other ancestors might be immensely powerful, but once they fell, everything became nothing.

Only they were eternal.

Today, they welcomed their new companion—Lord Luo Feng!
