Instead of returning directly to Earth, Bai Yue set up a planetary defense system he had purchased within the Solar System to guard against the approaching Nuolanshan adventurers.
This system had cost him dearly. After installing it, he instructed his Intelligent Assistant, Long Kui, to monitor it and report to him the moment she detected anything unusual.
A brand-new C-class spacecraft slowly passed through Earth's atmosphere and landed within Bai Yue's manor by West Lake. The ship was over three hundred meters long and more than two hundred meters wide, so naturally it required a vast landing area. Fortunately, his manor was large enough.
Back when he needed a place to store the Kinkaku Giant Beast's corpse, he had funded China's construction of this manor for him. Not only was the underground space large enough, but the surface grounds were also exceptionally expansive.
The spacecraft's arrival drew countless gazes. As the manor of Earth's foremost powerhouse, it was naturally being watched by agents from every major faction.
Over the past half year, he and Luo Feng's group had been acting mysteriously and vanishing often. The major factions had already formed some guesses, but they had not dared to ask directly because of the deterrence they faced.
The spacecraft had stealth capabilities, but he had not activated them. There was no need anymore. In a few days, when the plan began, Luo Feng would reveal everything as well.
After declining his invitation, Hong and Thunder God left the manor. They had been away from Earth for quite some time, and both had their own factions with plenty of accumulated affairs to handle. Their hurried departure was understandable.
Three days later, the castle Luo Feng had purchased beside Bai Yue's manor became the center of the entire Earth.
The military had sealed off the castle early on, while the surrounding streets were guarded layer upon layer.
Fighter jets from nations and Base Cities across the world landed on the castle lawn. The leaders of the five great powers had all gathered there.
This meeting had been convened by Luo Feng, one of Earth's four greatest powerhouses. According to the notice, it concerned a matter that would affect the entire globe.
Luo Feng's strongest guard unit remained in the castle's west wing, and not a single member came out to disturb the proceedings.
The large number of personnel responsible for receiving the guests had been specifically arranged by China.
The conference hall on the first floor of the castle's main building was brilliantly lit.
Around the enormous round table stood numerous national leaders and Base City leaders, exchanging enthusiastic greetings.
As the host, Luo Feng stood at the entrance to the castle hall with his three brothers—Bai Yue, Hong, and Thunder God—welcoming every attending leader.
At 9:00, the meeting officially began.
Boom!
An explosion erupted out of thin air above the center of the enormous round table, startling every leader. Then the space above the blast slowly settled, revealing a three-dimensional virtual projection of the vast starry sky.
"Everyone!"
Luo Feng rose to his feet. After sweeping his gaze across every leader present, he said in a low voice, "The importance of today's meeting will be no less than the Great Nirvana, and no less than the battle against the Devouring Beast."
An uproar broke out among the leaders.
"Look, everyone." Luo Feng pointed at the starry projection above the round table. "This is the universe—the boundless universe! I believe every faction knows that humans and other forms of life exist in the universe. I also expect that quite a few people here know much more than that."
"Our Earth is one of more than two hundred thousand life-bearing planets in the Milky Way Galaxy." Luo Feng spoke directly, and planets rapidly appeared in the virtual projection, including glimpses of Bailan Star. Then all the planets shrank, revealing a massive image of the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
"The Milky Way Galaxy, the Beta Star System, and eight other star systems together form the Silver Blue Empire!" The instant Luo Feng said this, everyone present was shocked.
An empire ruling eight star systems? How powerful was that?
How much more immense was it than Earth?
Listening to the leaders' hushed discussions, Luo Feng said solemnly in a low voice, "However... the Silver Blue Empire is incomparably weak! It belongs to the lowest tier of Universe Kingdoms. It is extremely weak."
"How is that possible?"
"The lowest tier?"
"That's eight star systems. A single star system has more than two hundred thousand life-bearing planets. Such a vast empire..." These leaders, especially the Base City leaders, had known very little to begin with. At that moment, they were utterly dazed.
Yet Luo Feng continued introducing the universe in an icy tone.
Half an hour later.
The conference hall was silent.
"Let me introduce a race to everyone." Luo Feng pointed above the round table. The virtual projection immediately changed, revealing a gigantic planet with figures flying across its surface. "This is one of the planets inhabited by a human race known as the Heimeng Race. The number of Planet Level beings among the Heimeng Race is extraordinarily vast, numbering in the millions."
"And among them are Star Level beings!"
"Their number of Star Level Martial Artists and Mental Masters is even more astonishing! They have many at Star Level fifth and sixth rank! Do you know what Star Level fifth and sixth rank represent? Each of them is comparable to that Devouring Beast from back then!"
"There are even more members of the Heimeng Race stronger than the Devouring Beast!"
Luo Feng's introduction filled the leaders with curiosity.
Now that they knew how vast the universe was, this was the first race Luo Feng had introduced... In the eyes of the national leaders, it should have been a relatively powerful race in the universe.
"They're truly powerful. There are so many whose strength matches the Devouring Beast!"
"Millions of beings Beyond War God? This is insane!"
"Too crazy."
"Is reaching Planet Level really so easy? Earth doesn't even have a hundred in total."
The national leaders and Base City leaders gazed enviously at the virtual projection.
When would...
Earth be able to catch up with the Heimeng Race?
There was not even a single Star Level being on Earth yet!
A Planet Level first-rank being on Earth was a War God Palace council member! Their status was comparable to that of a national leader! Yet among the Heimeng Race... there were too many to count. Couldn't they see it? Vast numbers of Planet Level beings were flying all over that planet.
"The Heimeng Race is an enslaved race in the universe," Luo Feng said in a low voice.
The leaders in the conference hall froze.
A race thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger than Earth was enslaved?
"The countless people of their entire race are slaves! They are slaves, and their descendants will remain slaves for generation after generation! Slaves controlled through implanted Biochips, slaves sold like merchandise! Their descendants, generation after generation, will never be able to rise again!" Luo Feng's voice was icy, as if it had emerged from the deepest abyss, making every leader present tremble.
Cold sweat seeped onto many foreheads.
Their descendants? Endless generations!
Slaves—slaves to be sold!
"May I ask, Mr. Luo, how do you know this?" The female Prime Minister of the European Union stood up.
"Because we have gone into the universe several times," Luo Feng said in a low voice. "But we were frightened back by the cruelty of the universe."
Luo Feng and the others had ventured into the boundless universe?
Everyone looked toward Bai Yue and the other three. Only after seeing them nod did they begin to process this news.
"Everyone." Luo Feng looked at the leaders. "I believe you all understand what I invited you here to tell you! As for whether you believe it or not... that is simple!"
Luo Feng turned toward the entrance. "Bring it in!"
A staff member immediately came forward, carrying a black helmet in both hands.
"A Consciousness Induction Helmet?"
Some of the leaders reacted.
"This is not the imitation produced on Earth, but an original helmet from the universe." Hong spoke from beside him. "This is a product of the universe. Many of its materials cannot be manufactured or even found on Earth."
"I brought this back from another planet in the universe." Luo Feng looked at the representatives of every nation. "Through this Consciousness Induction Helmet, each country can send one person to enter the Virtual Universe Network with their consciousness."
"I have already explained the concept of the Virtual Universe Network." Luo Feng's words sent the leaders present into an uproar.
Enter the Virtual Universe Network?
This would be Earth's first true connection with the boundless universe. They could finally learn a great deal of information from the universe.
