After distributing the prepared Consciousness Induction Helmets, representatives of the major powers verified the information Luo Feng had provided. Once Bai Yue, Hong, and Thunder God confirmed it as well, everyone finally believed it.

For all of humanity on Earth to progress rapidly, they had to come into contact with the outside world! Entering the Virtual Universe was a good way to do that, and these anonymous accounts could be used by anyone.

However, none of the nations possessed cosmic currency. So even after entering the Virtual Universe, they could only browse ordinary free public information and could not buy anything.

After everyone at the meeting had calmed down, Luo Feng announced another matter.

"There is a strange dew in the universe called Purple Light Dew. Taking ten grams of Purple Light Dew can allow an advanced martial arts school student to evolve into a Martial Artist," Luo Feng said.

"Hmm?"

"That is all it does?"

"That hardly counts as a treasure." Some of the leaders could not help whispering among themselves, while the others watched Luo Feng.

Earth also had things better than Purple Light Dew, such as Spirits of Plants and Trees. Back then, Luo Feng had used one Spirit of Plants and Trees to directly raise his family to the second and third apprentice levels. The effects were indeed much stronger. But... Spirits of Plants and Trees were simply too rare. Even War Gods rarely possessed them.

If there were too few, they were meaningless.

"We have them in bulk," Luo Feng added.

The leaders were stunned.

"How large a quantity? How many people can use it?" A Base City leader from Africa could not help asking.

Luo Feng said in a low voice, "Chairman Bai Yue and I can supply every advanced martial arts school student on the planet. As long as an advanced martial arts school student is born on Earth, we will have them take Purple Light Dew and make them Martial Artists!"

"Everyone on Earth?"

"Supplying the entire planet?"

"My God."

"This, this..."

Many of them understood one principle: the more precious a treasure was, the smaller its quantity usually was. Indeed, Luo Feng had spent 800 million Black Dragon Coins on such a vast quantity of Purple Light Dew. If Bai Yue had not covered the cost, his heart would have ached.

The richest people on ordinary planets like Bailan Star possessed wealth far below that amount. Such a massive supply of Purple Light Dew was truly extremely valuable!

"The ratio of total population to advanced martial arts school students is roughly one hundred to one. Does that not mean Earth could produce nearly seventy million Martial Artists?"

"Seventy million?"

"More than that. Many people gave up because they thought they had no hope of becoming Martial Artists. If they knew that becoming an advanced student would allow them to break through, they would definitely work even harder! The ratio could possibly reach fifty to one. Then the number of Martial Artists on Earth would exceed one hundred million, and humanity's genes would evolve rapidly—tens of millions of times faster than the evolutionary models we originally estimated."

The leaders were utterly exhilarated.

This excited them far more than countless fortunes in gold and wealth.

"Ten grams per person means one kilogram can serve a hundred people, and one ton of Purple Light Dew can supply one hundred thousand people! Later, I will first provide nearly seven thousand tons of Purple Light Dew, equal to one-tenth of each nation's population ratio," Luo Feng said.

"Seven thousand tons of Purple Light Dew?"

The leaders of every nation seemed to see humanity's great evolution unfolding before them.

That very day, Luo Feng distributed a set amount of Purple Light Dew according to the populations of each country and each Base City! Earth's great evolutionary march officially began!

Every nation saw the dawn of humanity's rise on Earth.

Bai Yue, Hong, and Thunder God were also looking forward to it.

This plan had originally been brought about by Luo Feng, so Bai Yue did not compete with him for the spotlight. He merely provided most of the funding to the best of his ability during the process.

After the meeting ended, he returned to his estate. He had only gone there to lend his support, after all. Once the plan had been arranged, the people below would handle the details. To him, increasing his own strength was what mattered most!

While he immersed himself in cultivation, the plan proceeded in an orderly fashion, and more than a month passed like that.

One evening, he was reading a Qing Dynasty book, Shen Fu's Six Records of a Floating Life. He had collected it earlier to improve his state of mind, and after returning to Earth, he had begun revisiting it in his spare time.

Earth was a sacred land for improving one's spiritual cultivation. Though it was weak in terms of martial strength, its frail flesh had not confined its ancestors.

Take this book, for instance. Though it was Shen Fu's autobiography and recorded only some of his own experiences and the scenery he had witnessed, it could still uncover charm and meaning amid the mundane trivialities of mortal life. A flower contained a paradise, a grain of sand held a world; even worldly affairs contained the splendor and coldness of human existence.

Such an extraordinary state of mind was something even some World Lord Level experts did not possess. Reading it again, he still gained something from it.

"Master, a spacecraft has entered the Solar System. It has currently passed Jupiter's orbit." Intelligent Assistant Long Kui's voice rang in his mind, snapping him back to his senses.

As her voice sounded, a projection of the starry sky appeared before him. A silver-gray, saucer-shaped spacecraft was slowly advancing through space. In the background stood a massive gaseous planet—Jupiter.

"So they still came. Long Kui, notify Luo Feng and the others."

"Yes, Master. I will notify them immediately," Long Kui replied obediently. She then composed a message and sent it to Luo Feng, Thunder God, and Hong.

Very soon, Luo Feng, who was closest to him, arrived at his home. Hong and Thunder God also arrived one after another. Judging by the auras around them, all of them had already broken through to the Star Level.

"Just now, the Planetary Defense System I set up detected an unidentified spacecraft entering the Solar System." As he spoke, he had Long Kui project the previous image again.

"How is that possible? The coordinates of nearly a thousand light-years around the entire Solar System were concealed by Master's Space Secret Method. How did they find their way in?" Babata's figure appeared on Luo Feng's shoulder, his expression somewhat agitated.

"Perhaps they encountered a naturally formed wormhole," Bai Yue, who knew the reason, offered an answer.

"A wormhole? That is the only possibility."

Seeing that Babata and Bai Yue had reached a conclusion, the steady and prudent Hong voiced his thoughts.

"No matter how they came, what matters now is their purpose. What attitude do they have? And how should we respond?"

Luo Feng and Thunder God exchanged glances. In the end, everyone's gazes fell upon Bai Yue, the strongest among them.

"If soldiers come, we block them with generals; if water comes, we dam it with earth! No matter what, we have to go meet them," Bai Yue said.

After the discussion, they boarded a spacecraft and headed out to intercept them, intending to resolve the matter in space. Without knowing whether the other side was hostile, allowing them to enter Earth would be extremely dangerous.

Perhaps their spacecraft was more advanced than the other party's, or perhaps the other side had been careless. Even when they drew close, the other party did not notice them.

"Babata, please hack into that spacecraft's system and see who they are." Babata was somewhat displeased at being ordered around, but he still agreed. He also wanted to know how they had entered.

Very soon, Babata, as an Intelligent Life, began infiltrating the spacecraft's systems. Before long, he seized control of the vessel without even alerting the crew aboard.

From the spacecraft's system, Babata obtained the information he wanted.

"This is an adventurer spacecraft from a faction called Nuolanshan. They happened to encounter a wormhole and arrived here. There are nine people aboard: three at the Star Level and six at the Planet Level."
