Evacuation

With no more worries holding them back, Luo Feng and the other two finally felt at ease.

They immediately split up. Luo Feng gathered Earth's data and went to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's office to purchase ownership of Earth, while Bai Yue went to the slave market to buy a batch of Universe Level slaves as a precaution.

The reason Luo Feng went instead of Bai Yue himself was twofold. First, as a transmigrator, Bai Yue's sense of belonging to Earth was honestly far weaker than Luo Feng's and the others'. Second, Luo Feng truly handled such matters well. Take the previous plan to strengthen Earth, for example—if Luo Feng had not taken the lead, Bai Yue, immersed in cultivation, would never have thought of it.

Everything that followed went much more smoothly. With Luo Feng's immense assets from the Star Level account Huyan Bo had left behind, along with Bai Yue's ample funds, every task was completed perfectly.

Now, all they had to do was wait for Nuolanshan's main force to arrive and send them away. Then Earth would be relatively safe.

In the starry cosmos.

Around a star, eight planets revolved endlessly. This was the Solar System! Here lay a life-bearing planet—Earth!

Two enormous interstellar warships passed through the wormhole one after another, flying through space at astonishing speed. They were the Nuolanshan fleet that had arrived later.

The moment they entered space, the fleet realized something was wrong. Their detectors discovered numerous cosmic warships surrounding them. They had been found.

Upon realizing this, the fleet's leadership made a decision at once, and the two interstellar warships slowly came to a halt.

They then received a message from Bai Yue's group. When they opened it, Luo Feng's figure appeared on the screen.

"Greetings, Nuolanshan Family of the Kaluo Empire."

"I am Luo Feng."

"Not long ago, the planet you were heading toward, 'Earth,' became my territory. This is the territorial ownership certificate issued by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

The Nuolanshan Family members, who had been imagining the enormous value of the planet they had discovered and wore excited, smug expressions, all froze.

They were stunned, but the recording continued.

On the enormous display, Luo Feng shouted angrily, "As Earth's lord, I demand that you leave my territory immediately! Otherwise, your Nuolanshan Family will be denounced as 'star pirates' and face a campaign of extermination by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's army!"

Star pirates were cosmic bandits. Every major empire despised them and would kill them without hesitation!

"Come with me to see the Patriarch," Pula, the person in charge of the fleet, said in a low voice.

"Yes." The other seven answered.

After discussing matters with the family Patriarch, they ultimately decided to withdraw. However, they would leave behind an elite team to seize the Kinkaku Giant Beast's body when the opportunity arose.

In the Solar System, a cosmic ship roughly one hundred meters in diameter emerged from the wormhole. Activating its "shielding and stealth" functions, it cautiously returned to the Sun.

What they did not know was that the Kinkaku Giant Beast they sought was secretly watching them. It was Bai Yue's Kinkaku Giant Beast clone.

He silently followed behind the ship. Opening his massive jaws, he activated the Kinkaku Giant Beast's devouring ability. The space around the ship gradually contracted and flew toward his gaping mouth, vanishing inside without even stirring a ripple. Nuolanshan's hidden threat was instantly wiped out.

After discovering this wormhole, how could Bai Yue possibly ignore it? He had directly ordered the Kinkaku Giant Beast to hide nearby. The moment anyone emerged, they would be dealt with immediately.

This time, things should stay quiet for a while, right? Bai Yue thought.

After dealing with Nuolanshan, they returned to Earth. Earth's people were still immersed in the atmosphere of the human evolution program, completely unaware that they had escaped the enormous disaster of being enslaved by aliens.

But wasn't that the meaning of their growing stronger?

Time flowed slowly, unaffected by any individual's will, like the Yangtze River flowing eastward without ever pausing for a moment.

More than a year had passed since the Nuolanshan invasion. Over that year, his growth had been astonishing. Under Lord Gan Wu's guidance, his comprehension of the laws continued to deepen. That improvement in law comprehension made cultivating all kinds of secret techniques easier, and his combat power rose by a great margin as well.

"Ji Ning, your improvement is unlike anything I have ever seen. I had originally planned to nurture you a little longer before sending you to the Virtual Universe Company, but now I realize it may need to happen sooner. Your current progress has already caught up to, or even surpassed, those monstrous geniuses from history."

As soon as he had confirmed the Ji Ning Clone's talent, Lord Gan Wu had accepted him directly as a personal disciple.

In truth, Lord Gan Wu had still held back somewhat in saying those words. Only he, as Ji Ning's Master, knew just how exceptional this disciple was.

For more than a year, the Ji Ning Clone had remained at the Universe Level. This was to make it easier to undergo the Virtual Universe Company's assessment; naturally, different levels faced different examinations.

His progress in other areas could only be described as meteoric. His physical force amplification had reached a terrifying ninety-three times, not far from the limit of one hundred. Furthermore, he had mastered the Amplitude Secret Technique passed down by the Starry Sky Giant Beasts. His base strength was already not much weaker than that of a second-order Domain Lord Level expert.

There was even less need to mention secret techniques. He possessed two great inheritances and had Lord Gan Wu as his Master, so he lacked no secret techniques.

His greatest improvement was actually in his comprehension of the Space, Earth Attribute, and Gold elemental Dao Origin Laws. Although his Earth Attribute Origin Law comprehension had also reached a profound level, his greatest advancement had instead been in the Space Law. In just over a year, he had fully grasped another seven essences of the Space Law.

One had to know that Lian Luo, the peerless genius from the original work, had spent more than three thousand years mastering all 108 essences of the Space Law. Yet Ji Ning had completely comprehended forty-three essences of the Space Origin Law in less than ten years. Even though it grew more difficult the further he progressed, he was fully confident that he could master all 108 essences within a century.

As for his progress in the Gold elemental Dao Origin Law, it came from the Kinkaku Giant Beast's advancement in level. While neither his original body nor the Ji Ning Clone could break through, the Kinkaku Giant Beast clone was unaffected and had already advanced to the seventh order of the Domain Lord Level. Naturally, its comprehension of the Gold elemental Dao Origin Law rose accordingly.

As one of the twelve pinnacle bloodlines among the Starry Sky Giant Beasts, once the Kinkaku Giant Beast entered the World Lord Level, it would gain recognition from the Gold elemental Dao Origin Law. Comprehending the Gold elemental Dao Origin Law would then be as easy as drinking water.

"I have already recommended you to the Virtual Universe Company. I believe you will receive the company's assessment soon. Go and prepare yourself."

"With your talent, passing the company's assessment will not be difficult. But remember, before you have grown strong, talent is ultimately just talent—it is not strength. There are many geniuses with outstanding talent, but only a few become peak experts. Always maintain reverence for this universe," Lord Gan Wu said earnestly to the Ji Ning Clone.

"Thank you, Master. Your disciple is very careful about keeping his little life intact!"

"Haha, grow up quickly! For the time that remains, I will demonstrate the complete Space Law for you once. How much you can comprehend will depend on yourself."

With a wave of his hand, yellow earthen spheres hundreds of kilometers in diameter flew out and floated in midair within the palace. Every sphere was hundreds of kilometers wide and entirely dark yellow. There were exactly 108 yellow earthen spheres!

Sss! Sss! Sss...

The space surrounding the yellow earthen spheres was directly torn apart. The Space Turbulence beyond the ruptured space was suppressed by the yellow spheres, while the space farther away twisted outright, as though overwhelming gravity had made space itself unable to withstand it.
