Jiangnan Base City, Mingyue Residential Area.

As Luo Feng's King-level Intelligent Fighter Jet landed on the lawn, everyone froze—whether children at play, teenagers training, or Martial Artists at home.

After all, they had attended Luo Feng's memorial service. They all looked as though they had seen a ghost, while Luo Feng greeted several Martial Artists he knew.

Mingyue Residential Area was destined to be exceptionally lively that day. In the courtyard of Luo Feng's home, his family had long been waiting outside.

After an emotional reunion, Luo Feng asked about what had happened at home. Learning of everything his family had gone through over the past year or so filled him with anger.

Although Bai Yue had looked after them, preventing the outright physical attacks from the original story, Li Yao and the others had still bribed some nearby neighbors to inflict verbal and psychological blows on them.

As they spoke, Bai Yue came to visit. The noise of the Smart Fighter landing had naturally alerted him that Luo Feng had returned.

"I knew you wouldn't die, kid!" He walked over and gave Luo Feng a huge hug.

"Thank you, Old Bai." Luo Feng's voice carried uncontrollable gratitude.

"Haha, what's with the formality between us? I've already gathered evidence of some of Li Yao's little schemes. I'll send it to you later. But it won't be enough to convict him. In the end, it still comes down to strength." Although Bai Yue could have directly dealt with Li Yao's group, he felt it would be better to leave it to Luo Feng.

"Leave what comes next to me! You've already done more than enough!" Luo Feng was clearly truly enraged. Someone had been secretly keeping watch over his family. This time, he had survived, and his childhood friend had helped protect his family—but what about next time?

He did not dare imagine the outcome, but he would not allow such a thing to happen. He would personally eliminate every unstable factor that dared harm his family.

After handing the materials over to Luo Feng, Bai Yue did not continue involving himself in the matter. He trusted Luo Feng to handle it well.

As for himself, he continued cultivating diligently without relaxing for even a moment. By now, his cultivation had long since broken through to the Star Level, and he was already at the third Star Level stage.

During this period, he had focused most of his efforts on tempering his will and improving his Domain. He knew that, in this world, comprehension of laws was fundamental—the great path leading to the highest peak.

Will, meanwhile, was the foundation upon which he stood. The Golden Finger Dao Fruit was likewise a power that could not be ignored in this world, an ultimate force only revealed above the True God level.

That enlightenment on the snowy mountain a year ago had greatly strengthened his will. Combined with his later breakthrough to the Star Level, his progress had been tremendous.

In truth, after attaining enlightenment on the snowy mountain, he had entered the Dao Fruit space once more. Though he had improved considerably, he had been unable to break through the Dao Fruit's core. Only after reaching the Star Level, when his will improved drastically again, had he finally imprinted his will upon the Dao Fruit's core in one decisive push.

Only now could it truly be said that he had recognized the Dao Fruit as his master and genuinely gained control over the foundation of his existence.

After gaining control of the Dao Fruit, in addition to the characteristics he had previously acquired—once proven, eternally proven, and the Creation Ability of producing something from nothing—he gained the abilities to Analyze All Things and Project All Heavens. He could also entrust his consciousness to the Dao Fruit space, allowing him to create a new body there and be reborn should his body in the outside world perish.

It could be said that he was omniscient, omnipotent, eternal, and indestructible. Analyze All Things represented omniscience; the Creation Ability represented omnipotence; once proven, eternally proven represented eternity; and entrusting his consciousness to the Dao Fruit space represented indestructibility.

Of course, these were abilities possessed by the Dao Fruit. Apart from the passive trait of once proven, eternally proven, he could use the others, but their effectiveness depended on the strength of his spiritual will, body, and energy.

Take Analyze All Things, for example. With his current third Star Level spiritual will, analyzing a third-tier Force Weapon might consume over half his strength before completion. But a fifth-tier Force Weapon might require hundreds of attempts before it could be fully analyzed.

Afterward, using the Creation Ability, a third-tier weapon could perhaps be created in a few hours, while a fifth-tier one would take more than half a year. After fully recognizing the Dao Fruit as his master, the matter and energy Creation produced each hour equaled Bai Yue's own energy.

Thus, only by becoming stronger himself could he make better use of the Dao Fruit's abilities.

As for the ability to Project All Heavens, that depended on luck. He had no coordinates for other worlds and could only randomly project his consciousness outward. It might be projected into chaos, where his current consciousness would be worn away in an instant, or into the void, where it would dissolve over endless time.

It was like searching for a life-bearing planet within the boundless universe—the odds were terrifyingly low!

Bai Yue could only occasionally separate a trace of his consciousness and project it out, hoping for luck.

Fog Island on the Australian Continent had become a focal point after the discovery of large numbers of Spirits of Plants and Trees. Major nations and powerful organizations across Earth had all dispatched people to guard and investigate it.

Then, a few days ago, a new Beast Emperor appeared there, completely igniting everyone's enthusiasm. Even Hong had taken action, though he gained nothing. Still, everyone agreed that a great opportunity lay here.

With a thunderous boom, Hong hurled the Tentacle Beast Emperor onto the wilderness ground. This new Beast Emperor had been killed by Hong. All that could be said was that Hong's talent was truly heaven-defying.

"Brother Hong, I didn't expect you to actually kill the Beast Emperor!" Thunder God said teasingly.

Hong nodded slightly.

"Damn, not humble at all," Thunder God complained.

"Looks like there's a huge secret down below," Bai Yue said deliberately.

Of course, he knew what lay beneath. He was merely saying it casually. He had come only to observe the situation and collect a Muya Crystal for research. He was still somewhat displeased that Babata looked down on him.

Although he spent most of his time cultivating alone, his relationship with Hong and Thunder God had gradually deepened. It was not because he had any particular charm, but purely because his strength had earned their recognition. At the top, one was lonely; naturally, the three strongest people on Earth had become friends.

Deep underground, Bai Yue moved rapidly through the soil without any discomfort. His fifth-level Earth Domain let him move beneath the earth like a fish in water.

Suddenly, a strange white crystal radiating life force appeared in his path. With a thought, Bai Yue's psychic power wrapped around the white crystal and drew it over.

"So this is a Muya Crystal. What a miraculous thing!" With a flick of his hand, he stored it inside the Dao Fruit space. This was another use he had discovered only after completely recognizing the Dao Fruit as his master: he could send objects into the Dao Fruit space. The Dao Fruit space was nearly boundless, equivalent to an infinitely large storage space.

He activated Analyze All Things, and the composition of the Muya Crystal became instantly clear to him. Its consumption was nearly negligible, replenished within a few breaths by the spiritual will created through Creation.

Then he shifted the Creation Ability toward producing Muya Crystals. A little over ten seconds later, a new Muya Crystal appeared within the space.

"With this ability, it looks like I won't be short of money in the future!" Bai Yue was quite satisfied. Some treasures did not possess particularly high energy levels, but their rarity and special effects made them extremely valuable.

Outside, Bai Yue controlled his body and continued deeper. In the past, he would not have joined in this excitement, because he could not gauge Babata's attitude.

But now, he feared nothing. Babata possessed many good things. Even fragments of Crimson Primordial Copper Mother that had fallen from the spacecraft were priceless treasures.

Soon, fifty thousand meters underground, beside the Meteor Star Ship, he still sensed no aura calling to him. Looking at the deep passageway, he did not dare enter rashly.

As an Intelligent Life, Babata could surely control the Meteor Star Ship's weapon systems. If it regarded him as an intruder and struck him, even though he could be reborn, it would certainly not feel pleasant.
