"After being resurrected, they can all gain eternal lifespans?" Xu Xin asked.

"Yes." Luo Feng nodded.

"What about the number?" Xu Xin pressed.

"For me, there's no limit." Luo Feng said with a smile.

A storm surged within Xu Xin's heart. As Luo Feng's wife, she handled many affairs in the Silver River Holy Land universe and clearly understood just how many problems "eternal lifespans after resurrection, with no limit on numbers" could bring.

"There must be a threshold for resurrection," Xu Xin said. "Otherwise, the many resurrected lives will seriously disrupt order. As time passes, this group will continue to grow, and with their descendants multiplying endlessly, the impact will become increasingly severe."

Eternal life after resurrection was wonderful news. But if mishandled, it would leave endless future troubles.

"Don't worry about disrupting order." Luo Feng smiled. "For those on the resurrection list from the Original Universe, I'll separately create a new Original Universe for them! They can live there. They will all receive the favor of the rules and possess 'eternal lifespans,' but they will still have to cultivate step by step from the planetary and stellar levels. If they have the ability to cultivate into Void True Gods, pass through reincarnation, and enter the Origin Continent, that will be their own capability."

Those who were resurrected would have to cultivate step by step from weakness. In the environment of an Original Universe, how many could become Eternal True Gods?

"Create a new Original Universe separately?" Xu Xin's eyes lit up. That would avoid many troubles. After all, many of those to be resurrected held very special positions, and some had even shown Luo Feng great kindness!

"Then the list can be greatly expanded. Even the countless innocent lives that perished in the Golden Horned Beast calamity can be resurrected." Xu Xin nodded. Even if all of them were resurrected, their numbers would only amount to the population of a single planet.

After all, there would be a new Original Universe then.

"Still, the list must be screened one by one. Those guilty of heinous crimes or who betrayed humanity are not qualified." Xu Xin considered this.

"No rush. You should first come up with a more mature resurrection plan," Luo Feng said.

"If someone who has been resurrected is killed, will they die?" Xu Xin asked again.

"They will." Luo Feng nodded. "I can give them another chance at resurrection, but the threshold must be raised substantially!"

Xu Xin nodded. She knew this would be a matter with far-reaching consequences. Within the Luo family alone, there had already been many throughout history who had died despite their talent, died after rendering meritorious service, or sacrificed themselves for the family and humanity.

"Moluo Sa, I'll have my teacher Emperor Chu and Sitting Mountain Guest work with you to take charge of the resurrection list for cultivators of the Origin Continent," Luo Feng said. "The resurrection list on the Origin Continent needs to be handled with even greater caution."

The lives in the Original Universe were generally weak and consumed few resources.

The Origin Continent was different. Resurrecting one life there would result in future resource consumption countless times greater than that of a life from the Original Universe.

"Understood." Moluo Sa was exceptionally obedient.

"I'll go find Luo Ping first," Xu Xin said. With a single step, she crossed distant time and space and headed for the Original Universe region. With her ability to draw upon a trace of the Source World's origin power, she could be considered an envoy of the Source World! Within the Source World's domain of the Origin Continent, even God Emperors were far from her match.

Luo Feng watched with a smile. His son Luo Ping was the true manager of the Luo family.

Whoosh.

Luo Feng took a step and departed as well.

"Just what realm has Master reached?" Moluo Sa had many thoughts. Luo Feng had told his wife Xu Xin everything, but had not told anyone else, nor had he told Moluo Sa.

Moluo Sa only knew that his master had become unimaginably powerful—powerful enough to raise the "mistress's" strength to a terrifying level, and powerful enough to resurrect every life within the cage?

"I heard that only the master of a Source World can resurrect lives within it. Is Master the master of a Source World?" Moluo Sa thought. Over the years, he had gained some understanding of what lay beyond the cage.

Luo Feng also had a resurrection list in his heart.

It contained those who had helped him as he rose step by step from weakness! So long as someone had shown him even a certain degree of kindness, Luo Feng was willing to give them a chance at resurrection, reviving along with them the family members they cared about most.

"The Fire Hammer Squad from back then, the teachers who taught me, the comrades who fought alongside me in the wilderness zones, and the companions who died in the Golden Horned Beast catastrophe..." Those figures had never faded from Luo Feng's heart.

For those who had shown Luo Feng kindness, he would not only resurrect them, but also grant them certain resources to make their path of cultivation smoother.

In a secluded Small City on the Origin Continent, Sitting Mountain Guest lived in seclusion.

He was refining a treasure alone.

Flames blazed, illuminating Sitting Mountain Guest's face. He gazed at the flames with fascination. To him, immersing himself in cultivation and treasure refinement allowed him to forget many things.

"Teacher." A voice rang out.

Sitting Mountain Guest froze and turned to look. His gaze passed through the Quiet Room and saw a black-haired man in black standing within the cave residence.

"Luo Feng!" Sitting Mountain Guest no longer cared about refining the treasure. He immediately stopped and came out.

"Why have you suddenly come to see your teacher?" Sitting Mountain Guest asked with a smile. In this world, this disciple was the person closest to him.

"I came today to tell you some good news, Teacher." Luo Feng smiled.

"What good news?" Sitting Mountain Guest asked with a smile, though his heart was utterly calm.

"Your disciple has cultivated to an extremely high realm," Luo Feng said. "Now, every living being within the Origin Continent's Source World! So long as they have not escaped the cage, every life that has ever been born throughout history can be resurrected by your disciple!"

Sitting Mountain Guest felt his mind explode.

All of them could be resurrected?

"Every life that has ever been born in history?" Sitting Mountain Guest could not help asking.

"Yes." Luo Feng nodded. "That includes Teacher's relatives and friends. Any one of them can be resurrected!"

An incomparably intense flood of emotion filled Sitting Mountain Guest's heart. Ecstasy? Disbelief? The impossible? Was this real? Was it a dream? Sitting Mountain Guest looked at Luo Feng, and from Luo Feng's expression, he confirmed it... what his disciple said was true!

His disciple Luo Feng could truly do it!

"How many can be resurrected?" Sitting Mountain Guest could not help asking. "Could there be ten? Twelve?"

"Master, make a list. It can include ten thousand people," Luo Feng said. "Once the list is finalized, I can revive them immediately."

With a single thought, Luo Feng knew the past of his homeland Source World. He knew that, to his master Sitting Mountain Guest, there were truly several thousand important people. So he rounded it off and gave him ten thousand slots.

"Good, good, good." Sitting Mountain Guest looked at Luo Feng, tears already streaming down his face. He was smiling as he wept. "After Jin Nation was destroyed, I had only one obsession left: revenge. I never imagined that the disciple I met in the Original Universe would not only help me complete my revenge, but also revive my deceased loved ones and closest friends."

Luo Feng could sense that before killing the Food Country Lord, his master Sitting Mountain Guest had been filled with hatred, with revenge as his sole focus.

But after his revenge was fulfilled, his master had seemed as though his heart had died.

Until today!

An incomparably intense vitality, a powerful exhilaration and joy, appeared within his master. His master had "come alive"; his heart had come alive again. As his disciple, this was what made Luo Feng happiest to see.

"This is the list."

Sitting Mountain Guest was, after all, a God King. In just a few breaths, he had completely finalized the list.

Luo Feng glanced at the ten thousand names. Each name was connected to one of those ten thousand figures in the past along the river of time and space of the Source World. Luo Feng knew every karmic tie they had with his master.

"They have been revived." With a single thought, Luo Feng brought those ten thousand figures from the past timeline into the present!

Under the workings of a Source World's laws, if it was ownerless, the backlash of time and space would erase anyone from the Origin Continent who attempted resurrection. But now, the Source World's laws operated with Luo Feng's will as their core, so naturally there was no backlash at all.

"Hm?" Sitting Mountain Guest saw them. He saw ten thousand figures appear within the cave residence: the master who had once taught him, his many fellow disciples, his friends who had shared life-and-death bonds with him... and the love of his life.

Sitting Mountain Guest stared blankly at that figure who had haunted his dreams. She... had truly returned?

These ten thousand figures were all somewhat confused at the moment. The vast majority had died in the great calamity of "Jin Nation's destruction," while some had died even earlier.

"What happened?"

"Where is this?"

"I'm not dead?"

Their memories were still frozen at the instant they had been killed.

Sitting Mountain Guest could no longer hold himself back and walked toward his senior sister...

Luo Feng smiled and vanished as well. This was no time to disturb his master's reunion with his loved ones and friends.

Near the border of the cultivators' territory.

The two inspectors, Chen Shi and Guang Yu, acted under Lord Luo Feng's orders and separately went to meet the forces of Blood Crane Territory and Omino.

"Omino's forces have already withdrawn?"

The curved-horned man Guang Yu was greatly surprised.

He carefully examined the twelve world clusters once occupied by Omino. Omino's side had completely withdrawn. They had plundered quite a few resources from the vast territory, but they had not caused much damage to the many Source Worlds and countless worlds.

"Omino's forces are famously slippery. The moment they sense trouble, they run." Guang Yu gently shook his head. "The moment the war between the Two Great Camps ended, they all withdrew."

Omino's forces were actually very troublesome to deal with.

After all, they had once ranked among the top three in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space. Even after their complete decline, the two remaining Ancient Existences were still not to be trifled with! The fact that those two had survived until now meant that, although they had not attained absolute immortality and indestructibility, they were still immensely powerful and possessed extremely formidable life-preserving methods. Yet they were very cautious. At the slightest sign of trouble, they fled, never easily risking their lives.

"I must report this to the lord immediately." Guang Yu was in quite a good mood.

The other inspector, Chen Shi, encountered trouble instead. Blood Crane Territory's forces acted far more domineeringly than Omino's.

"You, a little fellow, think you are worthy of speaking to me? Tell your lord to come see me personally!" A lofty voice echoed through the vast surrounding time and space.

The bald man Chen Shi wore an angry expression. "Even when the Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform Faction went to war with us, they ultimately suffered defeat! Your insignificant Blood Crane Territory is nothing. My lord has mercifully given you the chance to withdraw on your own initiative, yet you refuse to appreciate it? I will truthfully report this to my lord!"

"A mere World-tier Primal Chaos dares act insolently before me!"

Accompanied by a cold snort.

The bald man Chen Shi's avatar trembled slightly and turned to dust. Even as he became dust, Chen Shi continued to stare coldly at the distant, faintly visible phantom.

"What can the cultivator lord do to me?" That phantom was utterly fearless. He had seized this territory—did they think they could take it back with a single sentence? How could there be such a good deal?

Thanks to veteran alliance leader "Cat Ben" for the generous reward once again!
