Evacuation

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

They then split up, with Luo Feng collecting Earth's data and heading to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's office to purchase Earth's ownership, while he went to the slave market to buy a batch of Universe-level slaves as a precaution.

The reason Bai Yue didn't go himself instead of Luo Feng was twofold: first, as a transmigrator, his sense of belonging to this Earth was far weaker than Luo Feng's or the others'; second, Luo Feng truly excelled at this—like the earlier plan to boost Earth's strength, which Bai Yue, immersed in cultivation, would never have thought of without Luo Feng's lead.

What followed went much more smoothly. With Luo Feng's massive assets from Huyan Bo's Star-level account and Bai Yue's deep pockets greasing the wheels, all the tasks were completed perfectly.

Now, they only had to wait for the Nuolanshan main force to arrive, send them packing, and Earth would be relatively safe.

In the cosmic starry sky.

Around a star, eight planets orbited it constantly—this was the Solar System! And here lay a life-bearing planet—Earth!

Two massive interstellar warships, one after the other, passed through a wormhole and flew through the starry void at astonishing speed—the Nuolanshan fleet arriving from behind.

Once they entered the starry sky, the fleet sensed something wrong. Their detectors picked up numerous warships surrounding them; they had been discovered.

Realizing the situation, the fleet's leadership made an instant decision, and the two warships slowly came to a halt.

Then, receiving a transmission from Bai Yue and the others, they opened it, and Luo Feng's figure appeared on the star screen.

"Greetings to the Nuolanshan Family of the Kaluo Empire."

"I am Luo Feng."

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

The Nuolanshan Family members, who had been eagerly anticipating a planet of immense value with excitement and smugness on their faces, were all stunned.

They were frozen, but the image continued playing.

In the massive projection, Luo Feng spoke angrily, "As the Lord of Earth, I demand that you immediately disappear from my territory! Otherwise, your Nuolanshan Family will be branded as 'space pirates' and hunted down by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's army!"

Space pirates—stellar bandits. Every empire loathed them and would kill them without hesitation!

"Come with me to see the Patriarch," the fleet's commander, Pula, said in a low voice.

"Yes," the other seven responded.

After consulting with the family's Patriarch, they ultimately decided to withdraw, but they would leave an elite team to seize the Kinkaku Giant Beast's body at an opportune moment.

In the Solar System, a spaceship about 100 meters in diameter flew out of the wormhole, activated its "shielding and stealth" functions, and cautiously returned to the sun.

What they didn't know was that the Kinkaku Giant Beast they sought was watching them from the shadows—it was Bai Yue's Kinkaku Giant Beast clone.

He silently followed behind the spaceship, opened his massive maw, and activated the Kinkaku Giant Beast's devouring ability. The space around the ship gradually shrank, flew toward the gaping mouth, and vanished into it without stirring even a ripple. The Nuolanshan's hidden scheme was instantly eliminated.

Having discovered this wormhole, how could Bai Yue ignore it? He simply had the Kinkaku Giant Beast hide nearby, ready to deal with anyone who emerged at the first moment.

"This should buy us some peace, right?" Bai Yue thought to himself.

After handling the Nuolanshan matter, they returned to Earth. The people on Earth were still immersed in the atmosphere of the human evolution plan, completely unaware that they had narrowly escaped a massive disaster of being enslaved by aliens.

But wasn't that the very meaning of their growth in strength?

Time flowed slowly, unswayed by any individual's will, like the Yangtze River rolling eastward without a moment's pause.

More than a year had passed since the Nuolanshan invasion. In that time, his growth had been astonishing. Under Lord Gan Wu's guidance, his comprehension of the laws deepened continuously, which in turn made practicing various secret techniques smoother, and his combat power had surged significantly.

"Ji Ning, your improvement is like nothing I've ever seen. I originally planned to train you a bit more before sending you to the Virtual Universe Company, but now I think it might need to happen sooner. Your progress has already caught up to or even surpassed those prodigies in history."

Early on, after confirming Ji Ning clone's talent, Lord Gan Wu had directly taken him as a personal disciple.

In truth, Lord Gan Wu was still holding back with these words. Only he, as the master, knew just how exceptional this disciple was.

Over this past year, Ji Ning clone remained at the Universe Level, to facilitate the assessment upon entering the Virtual Universe Company—different levels naturally faced different trials.

His progress in other areas could only be described as lightning-fast. His physical force output reached a terrifying 93 times, not far from the limit of 100 times. Coupled with the Amplitude Secret Technique inherited from the Starry Sky Giant Beast, his base strength was already comparable to a Domain Lord Level second-order.

As for secret techniques, there was no need to mention them. Bearing two great inheritances and apprenticed to Lord Gan Wu, he lacked none.

The greatest progress, however, was in his comprehension of the Space, Earth, and Gold elemental Dao. While the Earth attribute origin law had also been grasped to a profound degree, the biggest leap was in the Space Law. In just over a year, he had mastered seven more essences of the Space Law.

To think that the legendary genius Lian Luo from the original timeline took over 3,000 years to master all 108 essences of the Space Law. Yet Ji Ning, in less than ten years, had fully comprehended 43 essences of the Space Origin Law. Even if it grew harder later on, he was confident he could master all 108 within a hundred years.

As for the progress in the Gold elemental Dao, it came from the Kinkaku Giant Beast's rank advancement. While the main body and Ji Ning clone couldn't break through, the Kinkaku Giant Beast clone was unaffected, having already reached Domain Lord Level seventh-order. Naturally, its comprehension of the Gold elemental Dao rose accordingly.

As one of the 12 most supreme bloodlines among Starry Sky Giant Beasts, once the Kinkaku Giant Beast stepped into the World Lord Level, it would gain recognition from the Gold elemental Dao, making its understanding of it as effortless as drinking water.

"I've already recommended you to the Virtual Universe Company. You should receive their assessment soon. Go prepare."

"With your talent, passing the company's assessment won't be hard. But remember, before you've grown strong, talent is ultimately just talent, not strength. There are many gifted geniuses, but only a few reach the peak. Always hold reverence for this universe!" Lord Gan Wu said earnestly to Ji Ning clone.

"Thank you, Master. Your disciple is quite careful with his own life!"

"Haha, grow strong quickly! For the time being, I'll demonstrate the complete Space Law for you. How much you can comprehend is up to you."

With a wave of his hand, a hundred or so yellow earthen spheres, each hundreds of kilometers in diameter, flew out and hovered in midair within the palace. Every sphere was pitch-dark yellow, totaling 108 of them.

Crackle, crackle...

The space around the yellow spheres was directly torn apart, and the space turbulence from the ruptured void was suppressed by the spheres. The space further away twisted directly, as if an ultra-strong gravitational force made it unbearable.
