"Forget it, this is the one." Li Yilin gritted his teeth and released a wisp of purple lightning.

"Talent: Clone, gestate!"

He focused his mind.

Rumble!

The entire world trembled as the purple lightning pounced toward the horn like a starving wolf.

"Sizzle!"

The horn instantly vaporized, swallowed by the purple lightning.

"Whew~"

The Universe Crystals that had been piled up like mountains in his World Ring immediately vaporized as well, turning into streams of pure energy mist that flew toward the spot, tightly wrapping around the purple lightning.

In just a moment, it transformed into an oval-shaped purple giant egg, nestled on the ground.

I hope you don't disappoint me. Watching the giant egg nestled on the ground, continuously absorbing the surrounding Universe Crystals, Li Yilin closed his eyes and waited silently.

Inside his World Ring, he had stored 100 billion units of Universe Crystals. Beyond that, there were nearly a thousand Hunyuan units worth of various treasures used to assist in cultivation, including but not limited to Luo Ke Divine Water, Thunder Dew, and more.

One day later.

Li Yilin opened his eyes, his gaze burning as he looked at the purple giant egg on the ground.

"According to the gestation progress, barring any accidents, it will take one hundred and twenty years to successfully gestate!" A flash of brilliance crossed his eyes as he calculated this duration.

The duration of a clone's gestation is related to one's own strength and the genetic level of the clone being gestated.

The higher the genetic level, the more difficult the gestation.

One hundred and twenty years—the genetic level of this clone would definitely exceed one hundred times the norm.

Wunuo Star.

This was a massive planet where 90% of the surface was land, even larger than the sun of his previous life.

The vast spaceport tirelessly inhaled and exhaled ships coming and going like shuttles. Countless starships took off and landed here, strictly following the guidance of the planet's tractor signals without the slightest disorder.

The bustling, busy scene showed no signs that this planet had experienced a great war just half a month ago.

A black spaceship appeared silently above the planet. Without stopping, it flew toward a massive floating castle on the planet below.

The planet's defense system showed no abnormal reaction to the appearance of this ship.

At the spaceport, a small purple spaceship landed steadily in its designated berth.

The hatch opened, and a youth with two pairs of arms flew out, followed by an old man who also possessed four arms.

Perhaps because it was his first time stepping onto an unfamiliar planet, the youth couldn't help but look around as soon as he left the ship, his eyes full of excitement and curiosity.

His sharp eyes caught the black spaceship heading toward the distance above. A trace of surprise flashed in his azure eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why is that ship able to land without following the tractor signals at the spaceport?"

The old man looked up, smiled, and said, "This should be the owner of this planet, or perhaps a powerful expert." If one lacked the strength and dared to act recklessly, it would only be courting death.

"Wunuo Star is one of the most prosperous planets in the Lulun Empire. I heard that two Domain Lord experts were born here." The youth became even more excited, his eyes shining, "Doesn't that mean there is a Domain Lord level expert sitting on that ship?"

"Perhaps!"

This was a massive castle that resembled a giant tree, with an incredibly graceful design. The castle was primarily constructed from giant wood and vines, its design following the growth patterns of plants without appearing casual or crude. It possessed a beauty that combined nature and art, exuding vitality everywhere.

Li Yilin headed toward the massive palace atop the giant tree castle.

He did not hide his figure, nor did he even conceal his aura. The patrolling Wutuo Clan members soon discovered him and flew toward him.

Seeing his appearance, which was identical to the Wutuo Clan, they breathed a sigh of relief, but the vigilance on their faces did not diminish in the slightest. They shouted softly, "Who are you, and what is your business?"

Wunuo Star had been very unsettled recently, and the Wutuo Clan members...

Li Yilin stood with his hands behind his back, swept a light glance at the two guards, and without getting angry, waited silently.

Before he arrived, he had already sent a message to Blair.

Blair arrived quickly, waved the two guards away, and led Li Yilin into the palace at the very top of the castle.

Inside the palace, the leaders of the Wutuo Clan were already waiting, including Li Yilin's teacher from his youth—Weide, a Universe level 3 martial artist.

Upon entering the palace, he flew straight to the throne at the very top and sat down.

Everyone bowed in succession, saying respectfully: "My Lord."

"Mm."

Li Yilin had no intention of making small talk. He swept a casual glance over them and immediately inquired about the evacuation of the clansmen.

"How is the evacuation of the clansmen going?"

"The ordinary clansmen have basically been evacuated within this half-month. What remains are those in positions that cannot be left unattended. Once the people from the Giant Axe Arena arrive to take over, they can be evacuated immediately," Blair replied.

After all, Wunuo Star was the home planet of the Wutuo Clan, where they had lived and multiplied for tens of thousands of years. Evacuating was not that simple.

Fortunately, the Giant Axe Arena understood the Wutuo Clan's situation and did not urge them.

However, the Giant Axe Arena was understanding, and they dared not delay, successfully evacuating within half a month.

"Good, strive to evacuate all clansmen within three days." Li Yilin nodded, feeling quite satisfied.

"I returned not only to see you all, but also to give you this." He took out two space rings and one World Ring; two of them, including the World Ring, drifted toward Blair, while the other drifted toward Weide.

Weide took the ring and probed it with his consciousness, quickly becoming shocked by the massive amount of resources stored inside.

He looked up in surprise, only to find that Li Yilin didn't even spare him a glance, so no matter how much curiosity he felt, he had to suppress it and ask later.

Blair was also shocked by the supplies inside the ring, but as the clan leader, she managed to maintain her composure, though the expression on her face still betrayed her slightly.

The other six clansmen looked at each other, understanding in their hearts.

It must be that the Lord had bestowed some treasure again, and since they were allowed to watch, it surely concerned them as well.

Sure enough, Li Yilin's next words made their spirits soar.

He said, "Of these two rings, one contains cultivation resources specifically for Universe-level warriors and above in the clan, including matching nutrient pods and nutrient solutions, as well as Grade 1 to Grade 5 force and spiritual weapons. I want you to strive to push all clansmen with Universe-level strength to Universe level 9 in the shortest possible time."

Although he had brought the Leimai Galaxy under his name for the clan's development, they could not maintain such a vast territory if the clansmen lacked sufficient strength and foundation.

After all, there were many planets in the Leimai Galaxy with quite good development; without enough strength and foundation, they could not be controlled.

The legendary nutrient pods and nutrient solutions capable of creating Universe-level warriors?

Excitement flashed across everyone's faces simultaneously; if not for the awe inspired by Li Yilin, they probably would have cheered out loud, and even so, the excitement on their faces could not be hidden.

They were all Universe-level warriors themselves.

Naturally, they would also have a share of the distributed resources.

"The other ring contains one hundred Universe-level slaves, as well as cultivation resources I've prepared for the ordinary clansmen. These are all the various treasures I've collected over the years; they are quite miscellaneous, and perhaps there are some precious items I haven't discovered yet... I have already thought about the purpose of these treasures."

At this point, Li Yilin paused slightly, looked at everyone again, and his expression became more serious, "I want you to find a suitable life planet and establish an academy on it. The name of the academy...

"Let's call it Tuoxing Academy!

"...From now on, any Wutuo Clan member under five hundred years old who has not reached Star level must join Tuoxing Academy for systematic learning. The teachers of Tuoxing Academy will be the one hundred Universe-level warriors in the ring, as well as those in the clan who are at the Universe level or above. Only warriors and spirit readers at the Universe level or above are qualified to serve as teachers at Tuoxing Academy." Li Yilin added; he did not want just anyone to be able to teach the children.

"Yes." Blair nodded solemnly.

The other clansmen bowed, "Yes."

Li Yilin lowered his eyes, looking at everyone indifferently, and finally said, "You are all my clansmen. I hope you can grow faster, and it would be best if a few more Domain Lord-level warriors could be born. I have provided the resources; do not let me down."

The Wutuo Clan only had two Domain Lord-level warriors, which was still not secure enough.

If only there could be Sector Lords or even Immortals.

Li Yilin thought to himself.

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

After finishing his instructions, the others withdrew, leaving only Blair and Weide in the palace.

With the unfamiliar people gone, the corners of Li Yilin's mouth curled up, and the serious atmosphere dissipated instantly.

Weide looked at his most prized student, his face full of smiles, and sighed, "Your strength is getting stronger and stronger."

"No matter how strong my strength is, I am still a student of yours, Teacher." Li Yilin flew down, stood still in front of Weide, and bowed slightly to show his respect.

"Do you have any plans for what comes next?" he asked softly.

He knew this student of his; he was cold and indifferent, especially after experiencing thirty thousand years of life-and-death battles, making his thoughts even more unfathomable.

In the clan, apart from a few old fellows like them, he likely viewed the other clansmen only as fellow tribesmen; as for affection, there was certainly not much.

But he had to admit that although he was emotionally detached and shallow, as the most powerful existence in the clan, he had fulfilled his responsibilities.

Protecting the clansmen, bestowing resources, providing guidance to the younger generation of the clan...

He was worthy of the upbringing and teaching the clan had given him!

"I plan to travel around the Universe Country. If nothing goes wrong, I will head to the Outer-Domain Battlefield in a hundred years." Li Yilin said.

The thirty thousand years of life-and-death battles still had a significant impact on him, and the sneak attack half a month ago...

"The Outer-Domain Battlefield!?" Weide's pupils shrank violently.
