Return to Earth

Lin Qingyu's first session in the Nutrition Pod lasted ten days. During those ten days, he broke through from Planetary level 1st stage to Planetary level 4.

"Not bad." Lin Qingyu said.

"Of course. This is Virtual Universe Company technology. But you'll need to rest for a while afterward. According to the plan, the Nutrition Pod sessions are divided into five rounds. The first can bring you to Planetary level 4, the second to Tier 6, the third to Tier 7, the fourth to Tier 8, and the final one to Planetary level 9th stage. Including the breaks in between, it will take three months in total," Bata said.

"Then we can return to Earth. We can use the pod once more on the way, and by the time I come back to Qiu Long Star, I'll be able to retrieve the account Teacher left behind," Lin Qingyu said. "By then, I also want to buy some weapons and detection devices to place on Earth, in case anyone else enters. It would be nice if I could become the Earth Lord."

"Forget about becoming the Earth Lord. To do that, you need a complete flight route. The Dark Universe coordinates near Earth were concealed by the old master. Flying there slowly would take at least tens of thousands of years. Unless a wormhole appears near Earth, there's no way you can produce a normal flight route," Bata said, shaking his head.

"That's true." Lin Qingyu did not argue with Bata.

He had read the Original work and knew that there was a wormhole leading to a location a little over two light-years from Earth. But he had no way to prove it now, and he could not yet afford a detector capable of scanning such a vast range.

For now, all he could do was inherit Hu Yanbo's legacy first, then purchase all kinds of weapons and defensive equipment. Once those cosmic adventurers arrived on Earth, he would catch them all in one sweep.

Of course, the most important thing was still his own cultivation. It was only 2052 now, and there were still nearly ten years before the cosmic adventurers arrived. With his talent, in ten years, he could even try wiping out the entire Nolan Mountain family alone.

"Oh, right. I haven't been idle during these days in the Nutrition Pod. I gained some insights into the application of Origin Force," Lin Qingyu said to Bata as if he had suddenly remembered.

"Insights? What kind of insights? Show me," Bata said.

In any case, the Black Dragon Mountain - 81 spaceship was incredibly sturdy, so there was no need to worry about damaging it.

Lin Qingyu nodded, slightly mobilized some Wood attribute Origin Force around his hand, and casually struck forward.

"Hiss—Origin Law! You actually comprehended the Origin Law! You're only Planetary level!"

A trace of shock entered Bata's voice. Even his previous master, Huyan Bo, had definitely not comprehended the Origin Law at the Planetary level. That would have been far too outrageous.

"It's all right," Lin Qingyu said. "When I reached Domain Sixth Level on Earth, I could already sense the fluctuations of the Origin Law. Recently, I also developed a new method of comprehension suited to me. Not only did my Domain increase by another level, but my understanding of the Origin Law also became clearer. It's only natural that I crossed the threshold into the Origin Law."

Lin Qingyu was very confident in his own comprehension ability. In his eyes, the fact that he was a genius was an objective truth. He would be happy about progress in cultivation, but he would never become arrogant because of it.

Because Lin Qingyu understood that his competitors were the supreme geniuses of the universe, countless powerful experts from other Eras of Reincarnation, and even innumerable great beings from the Origin Continent and the Primal Chaos Dimension.

Compared to his ultimate goal, comprehending the laws was merely a tiny step.

"All right, let's make a trip to Bailan Star first, pick up the 100,000 tons of Purple Light Dew, and then return to Earth," Lin Qingyu instructed.

"OK!" Bata activated the spaceship and began flying toward Bailan Star.

Nine days later, the Black Dragon Mountain - 81 spaceship carried Lin Qingyu to Bailan Star.

After receiving the enthusiastic hospitality of Bailan Star's Ministry of Commerce, Lin Qingyu spent a little more money to purchase several warehouses on Bailan Star and set up several castle-series residences.

To Lin Qingyu, it was merely a small expense, less than ten million Black Dragon Coins. But judging by the expressions of those people from Bailan Star's Commerce Department, it was already a major deal to them.

"Bata, after returning to Earth this time, I'll reveal part of the situation in the universe to my master and Hall Master Hong. I'll also introduce the parts related to Yunmo Star," Lin Qingyu said.

"That's fine, but the fact that you are the old master's inheritor absolutely cannot be exposed," Bata said. "Just say that you obtained an artificial intelligence and an inheritance from somewhere in Dead Zone No. 12, and that you learned about Earth and the universe through that inheritance."

"Mm, I know that much," Lin Qingyu replied.

A day later, Bailan Star's Commerce Department had arranged the castles Lin Qingyu purchased.

After leaving several slaves on Bailan Star and having them maintain contact with him through the Virtual Universe, Lin Qingyu took the others aboard the spaceship and began the journey back to Earth.

Eight hours later, Black Dragon Mountain - 81 arrived in the Dark Universe region corresponding to Earth.

However, due to Hu Yanbo's spatial Secret Method, the coordinates corresponding to the real universe here had all been concealed, and the spaceship could not head directly to Earth.

Bata controlled the spaceship and began circling in place.

Lin Qingyu knew that it was searching for Earth's coordinates according to the requirements of the Secret Method.

"Earth is protected by the master's spatial Secret Method. We need to circle along a specific trajectory for five minutes before finding the correct target," Bata said.

"I understand." Lin Qingyu nodded.

Suddenly, an idea appeared in his mind. He directly mobilized all his Mental Force and spread it outward, enveloping the surrounding space.

"Lin Qingyu? What are you doing?" Bata asked.

"I was thinking, isn't this Teacher's spatial Secret Method? If I sense it carefully, perhaps I can discover some traces," Lin Qingyu said.

"Tsk—this is killing me, Lin Qingyu. You're far too naive." Bata mocked him in Lin Qingyu's mind. "Although I have to admit that your talent far surpasses your teacher's, no matter what, you have cultivated for too short a time. Your teacher was Undying, and a powerful one among the Undying at that. At your current level, it's impossible for you to discover his Secret Method."

"There's nothing to lose by trying. Besides, my detection can't interfere with Teacher's Secret Method anyway, can it?" Lin Qingyu said.

"Fine, then try it." Bata did not stop Lin Qingyu. He was still very confident in Huyan Bo's Secret Method.

In his view, Lin Qingyu was destined to accomplish nothing.

If Lin Qingyu had possessed only ordinary detection methods, Bata's judgment would not have been wrong. But Lin Qingyu possessed Will Space.

Five minutes later, spatial ripples spread within the Solar System, and a pitch-black spaceship appeared out of thin air. The cosmic traversal had succeeded.

"Did you sense anything?" Bata asked smugly.

"Mental Force detection alone really can't sense it. Next time, I'll use my Domain to do it," Lin Qingyu replied.

"Hehe, using your Domain won't help either. You should cultivate properly and wait until you catch up to your teacher."

Lin Qingyu was right. Mental Force alone truly could not detect Huyan Bo's methods.

However, the Will Space, whose sensing range was exactly the same as his own, successfully recorded the process of the cosmic traversal.

Although it only recorded an Information Model, that was enough for Lin Qingyu to analyze slowly.
