Earth, Sakura Island.

In the year of the Great Cataclysm, the kingdom on which this island is located was completely devoured by monsters and turned into scorched earth. Later, Luo Feng subdued the monsters and rebuilt a tourist area on this site.

With its azure sea and sky, golden sand and white waves, it offers opportunities for surfing and enjoying delicious seafood, making it a renowned leisure destination in Huaxia.

As Tang Ping gazed at the clear sea, a long-forgotten memory flashed through his mind: After the monster was defeated, many people claimed this place as their homeland and cried out for the Luo Family to return it. But not long after, all of them mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

His fingertips traced the cold fishing rod, and a sorrowful expression of sympathy for others appeared on his lips. In the vastness of the universe, life is ultimately too fragile.

Hahaha... I'm so heartbroken.

Pulling his thoughts back, Tang Ping's gaze fell on the fishing float on the sea surface, secretly calculating in his heart: if he couldn't catch any fish today and it ruined his mood, he wouldn't mind filling this sea directly into land!

He still can't understand why, when he hadn't treated those maids badly—they had nothing to do all day and yet still managed to rise to the top and obtain resources to directly cultivate to the Yu Shen level—they would still take the risk of participating in smuggling.

Further investigation revealed that, in addition to Tiantian, whose cultivation had been crippled, three other maids were also involved. Even though their crimes were relatively minor, Tang Ping had no intention of forgiving them.

Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty!

Today they betray him for a few Ganwu Coin; tomorrow, who knows if they won't invite wolves into the house and bring powerful Alien Race enemies to his doorstep? And those employees on duty in the Solar System —their jobs are easy, their benefits are generous, wouldn't it be better to live a stable life? Yet they insist on being greedy and crossing the line.

"Insatiable greed..." Tang Ping sighed softly, shook his head, and refocused his attention on fishing.

Unable to wait any longer, he grabbed a bag of fish food from beside him and dumped it all into the sea with a splash. He silently counted down in his mind: if these fish still didn't know what was good for them and wouldn't take the bait within a hundred seconds, he'd let them taste what it meant to be "left zero, right fire, thunder god's help!"

Hmph, so this is the might of Heaven!

Seeing this, Fang Shu, who was standing by, quickly gave a look to a maid with water-based Origin Force behind her. The maid understood and quietly retreated to a distance, then flashed into the water.

A moment later, the fishing rod suddenly sank, and the float was instantly pulled into the water!

"Got it!" Tang Ping's face lit up with joy. He immediately gripped his fishing rod and began a tug-of-war with the big fish underwater, exclaiming, "Wow, that strength! It's definitely a big fish!"

"Go, Your Majesty!" "Your His Highness is amazing!" "Master is mighty!"

Several maids beside her immediately called out in sweet voices, their melodious voices clear and pleasant. Each of them was stunningly beautiful, with graceful figures and outstanding temperament, instantly attracting the attention of the surrounding tourists.

The men watching stared wide-eyed, a surge of envy, jealousy, and resentment welling up inside them: Why? They went to great lengths to please their wives, only to be met with indifference; this guy, on the other hand, had so many stunning beauties, all of whom were incredibly passionate towards him!

Damn, it's really good to be rich and powerful!

Tang Ping, engrossed in the pleasure of fishing, had already sealed off 99.99% of his power, using only his Planetary Rank cultivation to engage in a stalemate with the large fish underwater.

With each pull and tug, back and forth, the fishing line buzzed and hummed, creating quite a lively scene.

After a long stalemate, the large creature underwater finally exhausted itself and was slowly dragged to the surface. It turned out to be a wild yellow croaker nearly three meters long! Its golden scales shimmered in the sunlight, drawing a dazzling arc in the clear seawater, a sight to behold.

"Good fish!" Tang Ping's eyes lit up, and he quickly instructed Fang Shu, "Quick, get the landing net!"

Such a rare golden fish immediately attracted a larger crowd, with some even pushing forward to loudly inquire about the price, hoping to buy it at a high price.

It should be noted that, in order to maintain the ecological beauty of the earth, the Luo Family had long ago explicitly prohibited trawling fishing and only allowed single-person fishing.

This wild yellow croaker was considered a rare delicacy by the older generation of Earthling.

Tang Ping smiled and waved his hand, rejecting the acquisition offer, and continued to focus on dealing with the big fish.

The thrill of fishing lies in this struggle between human power and nature. The unknown opponent, the tense tug-of-war, the Solitude confrontation, the battle against the heavens, against man, against all things—the joy is endless!

Another half hour passed, and with Tang Ping's patient guidance, the large yellow croaker was finally dragged to a spot not far from the shore.

He was preparing to have Fang Shu use a landing net to cover the fallback.

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

Several roaring sounds suddenly rang out, and three extravagantly designed motorboats sped towards them from not far away. The motorboats were driven by several strangely dressed aliens with different appearances. They flew straight past Tang Ping's eyes, and one of them casually tugged, snapping the taut fishing line with a "snap"!

The freed croaker plunged into the water with a splash, leaping out of the water only once at a great distance, splashing a tiny droplet, before disappearing completely into the deep sea.

"Heh." Tang Ping, holding the empty fishing rod, laughed in exasperation.

This scene enraged the surrounding tourists, who shouted, "It's those bastards again! Damn it, they think they're so great just because they're rich and powerful? They're bullying us Earthling!"

"I was fishing here last time, and it was them! They rode over in a beat-up jet ski, blew up my fishpond that I'd worked so hard to raise, and splashed my daughter with seawater!"

"You're being mild! We were on a boat trip the other day, and these guys just rammed and capsized our boat!"

If it weren't for our enhanced physical condition and fast swimming speed, we would have almost become food for the sea monsters!

Someone asked in confusion, "Then why didn't you fly up and hide?"

"No-fly zone! Flying is not allowed here!"

Tang Ping frowned slightly and looked at the crowd. "Isn't the Luo Family going to do anything about it?"

"Intervene? Intervene is pointless!" a bearded man said angrily. "They might pay you some money, but that's nothing to them! If you dare to fight back, they'll immediately turn around and sue you until you're bankrupt! To put it bluntly, they're just deliberately trying to annoy people and drive us Earthling away!"

"Exactly!" another man chimed in. "Fighting is strictly prohibited here, so they take advantage of the situation. Relying on their family's power, they seduced and then abandoned Earth girls, even filming it and posting it on the interstellar network to show off, calling us Earthling cheap 'simple girls'!"

"Of course, some girls lack self-respect, but many are also victims of their harassment!" someone added. "They don't hit or hurt people; they just use business tactics to suppress you. You open a small shop, and they open an identical one across the street, cutting the price in half and offering better quality, forcing you to close down!"

"What's even more infuriating!" a young man clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, "Is that some spoiled brats from immortal families who openly say that Earthling don't deserve to stay on Earth, that they're all trash, and can't even comprehend the Laws of Origin! They even challenged us to a one-on-one duel in the Virtual Universe, saying they'd give us three hundred moves, and if we lost, we'd be kicked out of Earth!"

#!

Tang Ping was furious.

An invisible pressure suddenly emanated from him, the surrounding air instantly froze, and even the waves seemed to stop rolling.

When the King Rank was enraged, the starry sky trembled.

The next moment, the entire Solar System's early warning network was fully activated. The alarms on the interstellar space station wailed, the Personal Terminal of the on-duty personnel flashed wildly, and the public channels of the Virtual Universe exploded with piercing shrill sounds, indiscriminately covering every access node.

[Warning! Warning! Power fluctuations of King Level Immortal or higher detected!]

[Emergency Order: All members below the Immortal level must immediately evacuate to the designated safe zone. Immortal Level and above members must immediately investigate the source of the disturbance!]

[Additional Note: If a character dies while performing a mission, the race will provide a free mass resurrection service within a period of tens of millions of years.]

The sharp sound stopped abruptly, and the system notification refreshed instantly: [Alert has been lifted.]

As the Guardian of the Solar System, Tang Ping wields the highest security authority, and shutting down the alarm is merely a matter of a thought.

But the Luo clan's exclusive alarm was still wailing, and ripples spread through the void. His overwhelming divine sense swept across every corner of the earth like a searchlight, from deep-sea trenches to the summit of Mount Everest, from bustling cities to deserted deserts, leaving no stone unturned.

As the ripples subsided, a sudden change occurred.

Those alien races that usually harass Earth's people and bully the weak—the spoiled brats who force relationships, the merchants who disrupt the market with low-price dumping, and those who flaunt their skills in luxury shuttles over the campus—were all captured by an invisible force.

The next second, they were on the surface of the sun, suspended in mid-air, exposed to temperatures of billions of degrees.

The blazing flames of the star instantly engulfed most people's clothes, and the smell of burning flesh mixed with the acrid smell of burning flesh filled the air. The shrill screams pierced through the vacuum and reached everyone's ears.

A few beings from prominent families or with cultivation levels reaching the Universe Level, though able to barely withstand the intense heat, turned ashen-faced from such public humiliation. In the minds of various races across the universe, this was more shameful than death.

Almost simultaneously, all Human Race virtual terminals residing on Earth received a video.

The scene is divided into two halves: one half shows a handsome young man fishing with great enthusiasm, when a large yellow croaker is about to bite the hook, but is startled away by several speeding kayaks; the other half shows the tragic scene of thousands of people suspended in mid-air on the surface of the sun, some of whom are scorched so badly that their faces are blurred, but they are barely able to maintain their lives through the Divine Power Flow, and can only wail in vain.

After watching the video and considering the alarm and strange phenomena just now, everyone instantly understood. Those arrogant and domineering alien races had finally angered the King Anle who guarded the Solar System.

The Angler's rage shook the heavens!

Virtual Universe, temporary meeting room.

A large number of people with extraordinary backgrounds have already gathered here. All five of the top Human Race forces are present, along with representatives of royal families and Marquis Rank families from various Universe Country, and even members of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom... and they are still arriving in droves.

"King Anle is making a mountain out of a molehill!"

"It's just a fish, is it more important than the reputation of our Ganwu clan?"

"This is clearly an insult to the Venerable Boswa family!"

Whispers filled the room, the discontent barely concealed in the voices of the attendees, yet their words were carefully chosen.

The strongest among those present was only at the World Lord Rank. Even if they possessed certain treasures, they could at most contend with Immortal Expert. In reality, they didn't even have the right to resist King Level being.

Nobody wants to be the next person to be hung up in the sun for public shaming.

Seated at the head of the table was Sun Ruowei, the investment manager of the Virtual Universe Company Ganwu Branch. Since she spearheaded the acquisition of Tang Ping's shares, Luo Concept Stocks have soared year after year, not only about to wipe out the losses from missing out on the Earth real estate market, but also making her a fortune.

As Sun Ruowei gained a deeper understanding of Luo Feng, she had long since become a loyal "Luo Feng fan," praising the development potential of the Luo clan to everyone she met.

She even staked all her savings, leveraging five times to heavily invest in Luo Concept Stocks, and now her wealth is almost enough to qualify for entry into the Initial Universe. As an employee within the Virtual Universe, it's much more convenient than for outsiders who have to wait anxiously for a "bid" for a spot in the Initial Universe.

In order to gain a closer understanding of the development benefits of the Luo clan, she volunteered to be stationed in the Solar System as the head of related business for the Virtual Universe Company. Over the years, she has used her position to make connections with various clans and secretly profited a great deal, becoming increasingly convinced that the Luo Family will inevitably rise to the top of the universe in the future.

After much discussion yielding no results, everyone's gaze finally fell upon Sun Ruowei.

Although they often boasted that their ancestors had been ennobled as Marquis Rank King Rank, or even that Venerable had been appointed to oversee them, they knew in their hearts that it would probably take thousands or even tens of thousands of years for their ancestor to respond. Moreover, such a foolish act of offending King Rank over a trivial matter would only result in punishment rather than support, even if the ancestor were informed.

"Manager Sun," someone stepped forward and said, "Now that we've paid the fees and obtained residency status, it's your duty to guarantee our safety. Why don't you speak to King Anle? Those tribesmen have already admitted their mistakes and are willing to compensate for their losses; please ask him to be lenient."

Sun Ruowei frowned, lost in thought.

As an ordinary realm lord, how could she be qualified to converse with King Level being? But if she could facilitate this, it would undoubtedly be the most dazzling achievement of her career, and an excellent springboard for rapid advancement.

Just then, a short man with long green hair stepped forward. He was the representative of the Venerable Boswa's family. "Manager Sun, my brother only accidentally startled King Anle's fish. We are willing to compensate with 10 Hunyuan, plus the sincerity of my Venerable Boswa's family. Please help us make peace."

Sun Ruowei was speechless.

Sincerity? That stuff is worthless in the face of being granted the King Rank! Ten Hunyuan are an open insult to the Five Great Powers that hold real power in granting the title of King Rank.

Before she could respond, a bright red command popped up on everyone's virtual terminals simultaneously!

[Make:

April 1, 9500 AD (Human Calendar).

I. Effective immediately, all foreign women planning to give birth on Earth must first complete verification at a designated Prenatal Checkup Base outside the Solar System. Once the fetus is confirmed to be normal, only the pregnant woman may enter the country alone, and she is prohibited from bringing any family members or entourage.

Second, pregnant women from other races will enjoy the highest level of maternal care in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom while on Earth, ensuring safety, cleanliness, and comfort, without the need for family accompaniment; within one year after childbirth, they must evacuate the Solar System with their newborn.

Third, any extraterrestrial race other than Earth Human Race is prohibited from staying in the Solar System for an extended period, and it is strictly forbidden to engage in commercial activities on Earth by means of subservience, enslavement, or incitement.

Fourth, all existing foreign residents must evacuate within one year. Those who fail to leave by the deadline will be personally expelled by the King.

King Anle

Upon seeing this order, the entire arena fell silent. Everyone was stunned. King Anle was truly enraged, and he actually intended to exterminate all extraterrestrial races within the Solar System, except for pregnant women!

It should be noted that among those present were representatives from Venerable families, and even descendants of the Universe Master.

How dare he?!
