A Sword for a Dear Friend; Into the Starry River in Search of the Nine Tribulations
Since the release of the new announcement from the Luo Family, Earth has been the subject of much discussion, from the life-bearing planets at the very edge of the Milky Way Galaxy to every corner of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom that has business ties with Earth.
Extraterrestrial merchants or sojourners without Earth residency can observe from afar, but those truly heartbroken are two groups of people:
One type is the old Earthling who received huge sums of money from land expropriation in their early years, have spent half their lives wandering outside, and now only want to return to their roots; the other type is the residents who still own property on Earth but are about to be evicted.
"Why can't we stay in our perfectly good home?" This question has become a source of frustration for countless people.
What they found even more unacceptable was the entry threshold set by the Luo Family: Domain Lord level!
It's important to understand that Earth Lineage has developed for over ten thousand years, with a total population approaching one trillion, yet there are only a few dozen Domain Lord- level powerhouses at most. These few dozen people are either exceptionally talented geniuses or lucky ones who barely managed to reach the top thanks to the Luo Family's long-term subsidies and rewards, plus the high rents they've collected and the resources they've poured into building them up over the years.
If all unemployed people and those who have not reached the level of Domain Lord were to be relocated, wouldn't the Earth be completely empty? In the end, perhaps only students, pregnant women, faculty and staff, and security and technical personnel who maintain basic operations would remain.
Amidst public outrage, countless people flocked to the Luo Family website to protest, with messages and petitions flooding the screen instantly.
Ultimately, the Luo Family stepped forward to provide an explanation:
The future of Earth holds infinite possibilities.
Universe Level strength can be built up by simply piling up resources; but the future Earth must be Earth Lineage: a dreamland for unparalleled geniuses, top scientists, leading researchers, and supreme powerhouses.
Such a place, even for Domain Lord, is merely the Qidian. We aim to make Earth a sacred ground for the entire Human Race, where countless geniuses will be born and rise to prominence.
As long as you are a registered resident of Earth, and as long as your offspring are talented enough, the future of Earth belongs to you.
These words did little to quell the discontent.
For most people, whether Earth is a sacred place or Cradle of Geniuses is irrelevant. They only care about their own vested interests.
They feared that if they handed the house over to the Luo Family, they wouldn't get a single penny, and that their children would find it incredibly difficult to return to Earth. But what could they do about their dissatisfaction? In this universe, strength ultimately reigns supreme.
The Luo Family is now at the height of its power, and its will is so absolute that no one dares to disobey it, except for a very few individuals.
What chilled them even more was that the King Anle, whom they had placed high hopes on and who rarely left his secluded home, actually stepped out of his Anle Nest and liked the official post from the Luo Family.
Seeing this, most intelligent people cursed inwardly, "Chen Yiqi! Just how much money did this guy take from the Luo Family, or how many beauties did he take as concubines?"
"Damn it, he dares to call himself Holy Monarch? He's clearly a tyrant!"
The only consolation was that the migration hadn't been a complete massacre. The Luo Family had given everyone a century to manage their business.
Those who run mass-market businesses know that in the future, only the elite will remain on Earth, and their businesses will have no place to stand. They either choose to sell their assets and change careers to make a living, or simply entrust their assets to the Luo Family and take the money to enjoy their retirement.
A few people, hoping to temporarily buy property to preserve their right to reside on Earth, found that all business licenses had been frozen; even the avenues of transferring property through inheritance, marriage, or gifts were completely blocked.
"Damn it, the Luo Family is really ruthless!"
A speck of dust in the era, when it falls on an individual, becomes an insurmountable mountain.
As Earth undergoes this massive "upgrade and transformation," countless old Earthling are forced to leave their homes and homes, exchanging the warm hometowns that hold countless memories for a series of cold numbers in their bank accounts, before turning around and stepping into the vast universe to begin their wandering anew.
However, the Luo Family was not entirely heartless. Considering the special circumstances, the relocation period for the elderly, children, and special groups requiring guardianship would be extended accordingly. These individuals did not need to apply personally; the Intelligence Center automatically calculated the time, and each person's terminal clearly displayed their latest departure time.
Those who fail to leave by the deadline will be subject to enforcement.
Moreover, with the Milky Way Galaxy's development in full swing, habitable planets are everywhere, and with the Luo Family's guards patrolling year-round, safety is not a concern. Therefore, most Earthling choose to buy houses and settle down on planets close to Earth.
It's hard to leave one's hometown; it's an obsession etched in one's blood.
More importantly, in the foreseeable future, as Earth's strategic importance continues to rise, the value of these neighboring planets will inevitably increase, making settling here now a sound investment.
Fortunately, real estate in the Milky Way Galaxy doesn't impose too many restrictions on Earth's registered population. If, like some alien civilizations, one were to require payment of taxes and insurance for over five hundred years before settling down, that would truly be a dead end.
E=("0*))) Sigh!
One month later.
Luo Feng met with his relatives and friends, spent some time with his wife Xu Xin, left a Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass to guard the Earth's core, and then packed his bags again, ready to embark on his adventure.
As for his wife and children, they naturally stayed on Earth to live a peaceful life.
He truly loves spiritual practice!
Keep in mind that he had just undergone over six thousand years of life-or-death training in the Star Tower, without a moment's rest, and now, only a month after his return, he's already preparing to continue his training. This almost obsessive will is simply terrifying!
Hong and Thunder God will naturally set off together. For them, staying on Earth all day would be a waste of life. Only the vast and boundless universe, which holds endless possibilities, is the battlefield to carry their dreams.
The farewell party was simple and unpretentious, attended only by a few close relatives and acquaintances.
Xu Xin nestled tightly in Luo Feng, her arms wrapped around his waist, unwilling to let go. Luo Ping and Luo Hai stood to the side, their little faces full of admiration as they stared straight at their father.
Seeing this, Tang Ping deliberately shouted, "Sister-in-law, can you let me have a turn? Fengzi is leaving soon, and he's had enough hugs. It's my turn now, isn't it?"
Xu Xin gave him a reproachful look, but in the end, she suppressed her reluctance and slowly let go of his hand.
Deep down, she always felt that this was the best kind of life: the man was out there making his way in the world, while she stayed home managing household chores and taking care of the children and parents. The man was the breadwinner, and the woman was the homemaker; this stability and tacit understanding was the most romantic kind of happiness.
There is a kind of love called letting go!
Tang Ping immediately stepped forward and hugged Luo Feng tightly, then whispered in his ear, "Brother Feng, keep it up! The future of Earth depends on you!"
Luo Feng raised his hand and punched him, laughing and cursing, "Get lost! All you do is waste your time. It won't be long before I catch up with you, and then it'll be my turn to ride on your head!"
"Hehe, then you'll be waiting until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!" Tang Ping grinned and casually tossed over a Storage Ring. "Inside, one is the blood of World Lord Rank Nether Sea Clone that I prepared for you long ago, and the other is the Sword Qi Secret Technique I mentioned to you before."
This sword energy was condensed using a full 100 kilometers of my divine body. Combined with the Sword Nineteen Technique, you'll definitely be pleasantly surprised when you use it!
Luo Feng's eyes lit up.
His primary objective in this journey was to obtain a fragment of the <Nine Calamities Secret Manual> from a mysterious realm inhabited by a powerful and mysterious race, making it extremely dangerous. With the aid of this sword energy, his chances of success would undoubtedly be greatly increased.
"Thanks!" Luo Feng said in a deep voice.
"Thanks my ass! We're brothers, we're all best buddies!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Thunder God came running over, beaming, "Brother Ping, Brother Ping, I'm your buddy too! Where's my gift?"
Hong walked forward slowly, without saying a word, but calmly extended his hand.
Tang Ping:
