Tang Ping was in a good mood after making the bet with the Chaos City Lord.

Leaving aside those three Soul Defense Supreme Treasures, even ten heavy soul defense Heavy Treasures would be priceless hard currency in the Venerable Realm. There's even a saying circulating in the universe: a decent Heavy Treasure is no worse than Supreme Treasure.

Ten soul-defense Heavy Treasures —what does that even mean?

This means that the Ganwu Kingdom Lord, who has fought for his people for billions of years and still carries a huge debt, can easily pay off all his debts. In fact, in less than 100,000 years, he will be able to carry his Heavy Treasures and set foot on the Primitive Star again to try for immense wealth!

Sigh, it's truly a case of new generations replacing the old.

Fortunately, I am that newcomer who is about to make a name for myself!

A feeling of happiness welled up in Tang Ping's heart. Then, he quietly sent the two clones he had already refined to the headquarters of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, while most of his consciousness continued to immerse itself in comprehending the Origin Law of Time and Space.

Rush!

The Ganwu Secret Realm.

The Ganwu Kingdom Lord awoke once again from his long slumber. He listlessly browsed the data compiled for him by the Smart Sprite.

Information and dynamics in the universe over thousands of years.

Having been resurrected from the brink of death three times in a row, he had long been strictly forbidden from venturing out on adventures by the higher-ups of his clan. As for comprehending the laws, studying secret techniques, and improving his strength, these were already luxuries for High Venerable like him who had been stuck at a bottleneck for countless eras.

So he could only pass the endless and tedious years by falling asleep again and again.

Surprisingly, this method is quite effective.

Take, for example, his "heavy investment" in the Luo Family back then. Every time he woke up from his slumber, he would receive a lot of good news, and the family's assets would rise accordingly. The only regret might be that he invested too late, and the current growth rate is not satisfactory enough.

Of course, there's also good news.

That is the valuation of the Solar System, which has been significantly increased again by the business department of the Virtual Universe Company. According to the estimate, when the "real estate project" on Earth is officially launched in the future, its value will be at least trillions of Hunyuan, which is almost equivalent to the total value of nearly ten Heavy Treasures!

And he, Luo Hai's master, the dignified Ganwu Kingdom Lord, naturally also held a small portion of the shares in this "real estate company".

Although he still owes his clan and several old friends a huge debt of about three "Supreme Treasure Points ". One Supreme Treasure Point is worth at least two thousand Heavy Treasure Points even when exchanged within the clan, and if traded privately, it would be even higher.

But for a high -High Venerable being like him, even a Heavy Treasure Point would be a considerable fortune.

A huge profit!

At this moment, the Ganwu Kingdom Lord couldn't help but feel a little smug, thinking that he was simply an investment genius. He had taken Luo Hai as his disciple early on and placed his bet on the Luo Family.

In retrospect, that was a brilliant move!

With that in mind, he immediately contacted Luo Hai, asking him to come to the Ganwu Secret Realm when he had time. He wanted to personally guide this disciple and also ask him what treasures Hunyuan resources he was lacking.

Although he couldn't produce the Heavy Treasures, the Hunyuan was merely a matter of a flick of his finger for him.

If Luo Feng in the distant future truly grows into Venerable and Universe Master, then the Ganwu Kingdom Lord will have truly found a powerful patron!

Even if Luo Feng ultimately fails to ascend to the throne of the Universe Master and merely becomes a Cosmic Overlord, he can still find opportunities to borrow some Heavy Treasures from the other party to help him gradually turn his fortunes around.

While waiting for his disciple to arrive, the Ganwu Kingdom Lord continued browsing the information. Soon, he noticed the King Anle, who was in charge of the Solar System.

The main problem is that this guy is too arrogant and domineering. A mere King-Rank Immortal dares to offend so many Venerables at the same time, and doesn't even put the family of the Universe Master in his eyes.

It is said that the descendants of those Venerable figures he offended have already jointly filed a lawsuit with the higher-ups of Virtual Universe Company.

The Ganwu Kingdom Lord found this rather strange.

Those who can cultivate to the King-Rank Immortal are all incredibly shrewd and capable; how could there be such a foolish individual among them?

You must understand, some Venerable or Universe Master are incredibly narrow-minded. Even if they can't openly deal with him according to the rules, they can easily find an excuse to send him to some extremely dangerous secret realm for "training," wouldn't that be a certain death sentence?

He patiently and carefully reviewed the detailed information about this King Anle, and even consulted several old friends. When he saw that this King Anle was actually a disciple under the Wind-Thunder Venerable, the Ganwu Kingdom Lord was suddenly startled, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

He suddenly remembered that thousands of years ago, Wind-Thunder Venerable had indeed taken a disciple from his Ganwu Secret Realm. Moreover, Wind-Thunder Venerable was a reclusive person who always carried out dangerous missions with a near-death experience, and had few followers or friends. How could such a King Level subordinate suddenly appear?

After taking a closer look at King Anle's resume, the Ganwu Kingdom Lord finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thank goodness!

According to the records, this guy emerged from some unknown secret realm and was forcibly assigned to the Wind-Thunder Venerable's command after joining the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. Presumably because his combat strength was not assessed sufficiently, he was sent to replace King Iron Face and directly thrown into the Solar System to guard a region.

Indeed, how could someone be Pingping when he Ganwu Secret Realm, and then suddenly possess King Level combat power in just a few thousand years?

If that were the case, wouldn't he have suffered a huge loss by Ganwu Kingdom Lord?

Thank goodness!

Although he felt somewhat relieved, the Ganwu Kingdom Lord still felt uneasy. He casually contacted his servant Thirteen and asked him to inquire where Tang Ping was and to tell him that he could come "home" for a visit when he had time.

This Ganwu Secret Realm is like his second home, and he is always welcome to return.

A moment later, Thirteen replied, "Your Majesty, Tang Ping said he's at the headquarters of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, preparing to spend time with his son."

That's good!

Star Tower.

This majestic ancient tower, standing nine light-years tall, has stood in this space-time since the Six Peak Races opened up the Outer Battlefield billions of years ago. For countless years, it has been constantly devouring the endless energy of the universe. The sheer volume of energy it devours has even formed a spectacular phenomenon outside the tower called the "Nine-Swirl Nebula".

That seemingly beautiful nebula is actually nine incredibly terrifying energy vortexes. The Nine-Swirl Nebula has nine spiral arms. The further in you go, the more terrifying the tearing force of the vortexes becomes.

The fourth vortex is almost unbearable even for those King-Rank Immortal; only Cosmic Venerable can remain unharmed.

Even Cosmic Venerable would be torn apart and annihilated by the seventh spiral's violent power.

The ancient Star Tower is entirely a deep black. It has survived the massive wars waged by the Four Peak Races, yet it remains intact, without a single scratch.

It is said that even the supreme Universe Master cannot damage the Star Tower in the slightest.

Countless races throughout the universe speak of the Star Tower as a supreme and powerful cosmic artifact. Yet, despite standing in the starry sky for billions of years, no powerful Heavy Treasure has ever been able to forcibly take it away, thus cementing its eternal and illustrious reputation.

This led countless powerful beings in the universe to believe one thing: brute force alone could not obtain the Star Tower. This Supreme Treasure was likely waiting for its true master.

At this very moment, in the most hidden and central part of the Star Tower, Luo Feng is undertaking an unprecedented gamble: to claim this supreme Supreme Treasure as his master!

No one knew that such a powerful Supreme Treasure was actually crafted by that Alien Race powerhouse who had once guided the Earth Lineage. That's why Luo Feng had such a strong feeling when he entered the Star Tower.

As for the process of recognizing a master, it is simple in some ways, as long as one can successfully fuse with the core of the Star Tower: the "Tower Bead". However, this is also the most difficult step. This is because the process of fusing with the "Tower Bead" requires enduring terrifying pain that exceeds the limits and is enough to tear the soul apart.

Before Luo Feng, there were two leaders of the Earth Lineage who attempted to fuse the Tower Beads.

One is World Lord Rank, possessing Thunder God's "Unity of Heaven and Man" state of mind. The other is Immortal Level, also possessing Hong's "Infinite Heart" state of mind.

The first candidate persevered through 2,600 years of agony before finally perishing. The second candidate persevered for 3,300 years, but also failed, ultimately perishing in endless suffering.

The terror beyond limits, the soul-tearing pain, endured for three thousand three hundred years—just thinking about it sends chills down one's spine.

But Luo Feng still chose to accept this legacy.

He firmly believed that anything could only succeed if you did it, and would definitely fail if you didn't.

As long as he can obtain this supreme Supreme Treasure, Luo Feng will surely stand at the top of the world in the future, and will be able to better protect his family, friends, and—his hometown.

At the beginning of the recognition process, Luo Feng found the pain to be bearable. But after only sixty years, he was horrified to discover that the pain was increasing exponentially! At the critical moment, he no longer tried to resist the boundless pain, but instead devoted all his attention to the study of the Way of the Beast God and the Laws of Origin of the universe.

A heart that is utterly true, pure, and sincere! Only with such a heart can one create great miracles in dire circumstances!

Under such life-or-death pressure, Luo Feng's character was tempered and strengthened like never before, and his understanding of the laws also progressed by leaps and bounds.

For over two thousand years, his Law Comprehension where he is almost at the point of mastering one of the three major branches of the Space Origin Law: Teleportation!

Luo Feng felt he had chosen the right path.

When I emerge from seclusion again in the future, Tang Ping will probably be far behind me, right?

At that time, Luo Feng will still be the leader of Falling Ink Star!

Hey-hey!
