Earth's Money Tree

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Island, Roc's Island.

Not long after the King Magic Candle left, two figures powerful enough to shake the universe descended one after another: the Immortal Venerable and the Nine Swords Venerable, the strongest Venerable of the Human Race.

The Immortal Venerable is one of the true top giants of the Giant Axe Dojo, and his existence has lasted far longer than that of the Venerable Shi Huo.

The title of "immortal" is not an exaggeration, but the ultimate praise for his incredible ability to survive. Throughout his life, he has faced countless life-or-death situations, yet he has always managed to turn danger into safety and remain standing to this day. In terms of strength and status, he is on par with the "Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master" of the Virtual Universe Company.

What's even more awe-inspiring is his lineage: the most supreme being at the pinnacle of human civilization, the founder of the Giant Axe Dojo!

Faced with the Immortal Venerable's request, Luo Feng pondered for a moment before making a decision: he would allocate one million of the ten million annual genius slots under the Luo Family to him; in addition, besides the thirty percent already obtained by Yu Shen Galaxy Bank, another thirty percent of the slots would be donated to the Giant Axe Dojo.

Luo Feng didn't lose out in this deal; the Immortal Venerable, out of respect for the Wind-Thunder Venerable, promised to owe him a favor.

Tang Ping, standing to the side, felt a slight stirring in his heart: Although his master, Wind-Thunder Venerable, wasn't Cosmic Overlord, his influence was considerable, and he must possess some unknown extraordinary abilities. This beautiful, lovely, and respectable master—time to slip away!

Following closely behind the Immortal Venerable was the Nine Swords Venerable. He had been the one who hosted Luo Feng Genius Tournament, and in terms of seniority, he could be considered Luo Feng's "mentor."

Upon their first meeting, the Nine Swords Venerable's brows furrowed with a hint of reproach. "Luo Feng, you were originally a core genius heavily cultivated by the Virtual Universe Company. The company has always poured its heart and soul into you, never mistreating you in the slightest. Yet now you've handed over the relevant authorizations for Earth to the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. Do you perhaps feel that the company would be doing you a disservice?"

Damn, you're really good at judging people!

To be honest, after seeing the terms from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, Nine Swords Venerable realized he couldn't possibly offer a mere Domain Lord- level genius compensation equivalent to a Heavy Treasure.

After some negotiation, Virtual Universe Company ultimately took the remaining 30% of the slots, equivalent to 30 million birth qualifications per year, and left satisfied.

Although it appears that 90% of the spots have been transferred to outsiders and are no longer directly controlled by the Luo Family, Luo Feng is actually guaranteed to make a profit. These spots are all settled at market prices, and as the value of Earth rises, the market price is steadily increasing.

Today, the Earth has become a golden phoenix, a money tree, that continuously lays golden eggs for the Luo Family!

Moreover, after this comprehensive transformation, Earth's carrying capacity has far exceeded the 100 million birth quota. If needed in the future, the Luo Family can use the extra quota for social obligations or directly convert it into cash.

But one question lingered in Luo Feng's mind: Earth is located in a remote area of Milky Way Galaxy, while the Milky Way Galaxy is located on the edge of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, which is in the extremely desolate land of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom Black Dragon Mountain Empire, making it extremely hidden.

The Cosmic Galaxy Bank has always kept its investments in Earth strictly confidential, so why would they suddenly attract the attention of the Giant Axe Dojo? Surely these top-tier powers don't have nothing better to do than monitor the movements of other factions?

Could it be that someone close to you leaked the information?

Just then, Hong, who had been silently listening, stepped forward and said with a hint of apology, "Actually, this is my fault. A few days ago, Sanzi told me that I no longer needed to hide my talent, so I went to explore the Illusion Sea of Virtual Universe. I made it all the way to the Twenty-first Layer before stopping. I didn't expect that it would attract the attention of the Founder of the Giant Axe and be accepted as a disciple."

"What?!" Luo Feng exclaimed in shock.

As far as he knew, the Twenty-first Layer corresponded to the mental pressure of Universe Venerable level! He had tried to break through it once when he was still at the Universe Level, but he failed after only reaching the tenth island (corresponding to the Consciousness Pressure of Immortal Level).

Hong is only at the third level of mental cultivation, yet he has already achieved this? Could it be that the path of mental cultivation he chose is not the optimal solution?

Subsequently, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God Shen engaged in an in-depth discussion about "will and consciousness".

What about phrases like "Willpower is the general, consciousness is the soldier; willpower must lead consciousness," "My Heart Is a Blade, my will and consciousness are as solid as a rock," "Yin gives rise to Yang, Yang gives rise to Yin, Yin and Yang combine to create the Dao," and "My Infinite Heart, encompassing all things; no matter how overwhelming the pressure, I remain unmoved"?

These profound and mysterious insights left others bewildered and incomprehensible, yet they couldn't help but inspire awe and reverence.

Tang Ping watched the three figures discussing animatedly, feeling immense satisfaction.

The more powerful the big shots become, the better it is for him. He has no interest in life-or-death battles; his ultimate pursuit is to lie low and enjoy life.

Of course, if he encounters a novice who is easy to bully, such as someone who, as a realm lord, defeats a powerful enemy or challenges Universe Level expert, he wouldn't mind taking action to have some fun.

Babata, watching this scene, pondered for a moment and fell into deep thought.

The former master Hu Yanbo, was Marquis Immortal, and even the strongest among them was only at the Immortal Level. The Yunmo Star Lineage could only develop with difficulty in a corner of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Under her guidance, although Falling Ink Star currently has only four disciples (besides Thunder God), it has produced a disciple who will become the ruler of humanity, a disciple of a top-tier Venerable, and a disciple who is Invincible King. Their future is limitless.

Could it be that all along, it was the old master Hu Yanbo, who limited the development of Falling Ink Star? Could his vision really be compared to that of the human ruler?

So, by this calculation—is Babata the ruler of humanity?

Gaa gaa gaa~

After dealing with several Venerable and handling the complicated matters of allocating quotas, Luo Feng had long lost the will to deal with worldly affairs.

He entrusted all the Luo Family's future business affairs to them, then turned around and withdrew from the virtual universe trial, returning to reality to begin secluded cultivation.

This series of unexpected events made it imperative for him to calm his mind and hone his skills.

Virtual Universe, Roche Island.

Luo Hua and Luo Ping then took the lead in discussing the integration of Earth's land with Hong, Thunder God, and Tang Ping.

Today, apart from the core area controlled by the direct descendants of the Luo Family, the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo, and Tang Ping's Lay Flat Finance are the three forces that own the most land on Earth.

Once an agreement can be reached with these three individuals, subsequent actions against other Earth families and forces can be implemented with a single decree.

In the past, Luo Hua's attitude towards Tang Ping, while not exactly disrespectful, was not particularly high either. Even when facing Hong and Thunder God, it was mostly out of respect for senior powerhouses. After all, the Luo Family of today was no longer the Earth family that needed to rely on others; with Immortal God guarding them, their confidence was completely different.

But at this moment, Luo Hua and Luo Ping's attitude was much more humble.

Firstly, they couldn't ignore Hong and Thunder God's face; secondly, Tang Ping's current potential and influence already made him worthy of the Luo Family's serious treatment.

Hong and Thunder God Shen had no interest in worldly affairs, and Tang Ping adhered to the principle of "lying flat" and had no interest in management matters other than equity. The three of them agreed to contribute their land as equity to jointly establish a brand-new Earth Real Estate Management Group: Vanke with the Luo Family.

The name "Vanke" carries profound meaning: it embodies the auspicious expectation of "everything goes smoothly and the business thrives for a long time" and integrates the development philosophy of "scientific operation and creating brilliance". It is a perfect match between auspicious meaning and business wisdom.

According to the agreement, Vanke Group's main business is the operation of real estate across the globe. Except for core areas in Australia and the Americas and some sea areas which will be exclusively managed by "Genius Incubation Company", all other land on Earth will be included in Vanke's portfolio, implementing a core strategy of "only renting and not selling" to ensure steady appreciation and long-term returns.

In terms of equity distribution, the Luo Family holds 45% of the shares with their core resources and dominant position, Hong holds 20% with the land reserves of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, Thunder God holds 15% with the assets of the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo, Tang Ping's Lay Flat Finance also holds 20% of the shares.

At the same time, Hong, Thunder God, and Tang Ping signed a concerted action agreement, entrusting the Luo Family with full authority over the group's daily management, operational decisions, and future planning.

Regarding the listing plan, the three parties and the Luo Family reached a consensus: it will be temporarily shelved until one of the group's shareholders reaches the Immortal Level King Rank, and then the listing will be launched at an opportune time.

With the endorsement of King Level powerhouse, Vanke's listing process will be much smoother, and the cosmic resources it can leverage will be incomparable to what they were before.

The Earth has finally stabilized.
