Plan

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

"Talent: Clone, incubate!"

With a thought.

Rumble!

The entire world trembled as the purple lightning pounced on the horn like a starving wolf upon a tiger.

Sizzle!

The horn instantly vaporized and was swallowed by the purple lightning.

"Phew~"

The Universe Crystals that had originally been piled up like mountains within the World Ring vaporized one after another, turning into streams of pure energy mist that flew over and tightly enveloped the purple lightning.

In mere moments, they formed an enormous oval purple egg resting on the ground.

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

Inside the World Ring, he had stored ten billion cubic meters of Universe Crystals. In addition, there were nearly a thousand Hunyuan Units' worth of treasures to aid cultivation, including but not limited to Luo Ke Divine Water, Thunder Dew, and more.

One day later.

Li Yilin opened his eyes and stared intensely at the purple giant egg on the ground.

"Judging by the incubation progress, barring any surprises, it will take one hundred and twenty years to succeed!" A sharp glint flashed through his eyes after reaching that conclusion.

The length of time required to incubate a Clone was related to one's own strength and the genetic level of the Clone being incubated.

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

One hundred and twenty years meant this Clone's genetic level definitely exceeded one hundred times.

Wunuo Star.

This was a massive planet that was ninety percent land, even larger than the sun from his previous life.

The enormous docking port tirelessly received and sent off countless spacecraft. Innumerable ships and starships took off and landed here, strictly following the planet's guidance signals without the slightest disorder.

Its bustling, busy appearance gave no indication that this planet had experienced a great battle only half a month ago.

A black spacecraft silently appeared above the planet. Without pausing at all, it flew toward a huge floating castle somewhere below.

The planetary defense system showed no unusual reaction whatsoever to the spacecraft's arrival.

At the starport, a small purple spacecraft steadily came to a stop at its designated berth.

The hatch opened, and a youth with two pairs of arms flew out, followed by an elder who likewise had four arms.

Perhaps because it was his first time setting foot on an unfamiliar planet, the youth could not help looking around as soon as he disembarked, his eyes full of excitement and curiosity.

His sharp eyes spotted the black spacecraft flying away overhead. A trace of surprise flashed through his azure eyes, and he could not help asking, "Why can that spacecraft land without following the guidance signals at the docking port?"

The elder looked up at it and smiled. "That should be the owner of this planet, or perhaps some exceptionally powerful expert." Without sufficient strength, acting recklessly like that would only be courting death.

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

"Perhaps!"

This was a gigantic castle resembling a massive tree, its form incomparably elegant. The castle was built primarily from giant trees and vines. Its design followed the laws of plant growth, yet it did not appear crude or haphazard. It possessed the exquisite beauty of nature combined with art, vitality radiating from every corner.

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

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

When they saw that he looked no different from a Wutuo Clan member, they sighed in relief, but the vigilance on their faces did not diminish in the slightest. One of them called out, "Who are you? What business do you have here?"

Wunuo Star had been far from peaceful lately, and the Wutuo Clan members

Li Yilin stood with his hands behind his back, lightly swept his gaze over the two guards, and waited silently without getting angry.

Before coming here, he had already sent Blair a message.

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

Inside the palace, the Wutuo Clan's decision-makers had long been waiting. Among them was Weide, Li Yilin's instructor when he had been young—a Universe Level third-stage Fighter.

Upon entering the palace, Li Yilin flew directly to the throne at the highest point and sat down.

Everyone bent at the waist and saluted him respectfully. "My lord."

"Mhm."

Li Yilin had no intention of exchanging pleasantries. After casually sweeping his eyes over the room, he asked about the clan members' evacuation.

"How has the evacuation of the clan members gone?"

"The ordinary clan members have basically all evacuated over the past half month. Those remaining are in positions that cannot be left unattended. Once the Giant Axe Arena sends people to take over, they can evacuate immediately," Blair replied.

Wunuo Star was, after all, the Wutuo Clan's home planet. They had lived and multiplied here for tens of thousands of years, so evacuation was not something that could be accomplished so easily.

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

But even though the Giant Axe Arena was considerate, they did not dare delay. They had basically managed the evacuation within half a month.

"Mhm. Strive to evacuate every clan member within three days." Li Yilin nodded, deeply satisfied.

"I returned not only to see you, but also to give you these." He took out two spatial rings and one World Ring. Two of them, including the World Ring, floated toward Blair, while the other floated toward Weide.

Weide accepted the ring and sent his consciousness inside. He was quickly stunned by the vast amount of resources stored within.

He raised his eyes in surprise, only to discover that Li Yilin had not even spared him a glance. No matter how curious he was, he could only suppress it for now and ask later.

Blair was also startled by the supplies in the rings, but as the clan leader, she barely managed to maintain her composure. Still, the expression on her face gave some of it away.

The other six clan members looked at one another and understood.

His lord must have bestowed some treasure again. Since he had let them witness it, it was surely related to them as well.

Sure enough, Li Yilin's next words immediately invigorated them.

He said, "One of these rings contains cultivation resources specially intended for the Universe Level and above Fighters in the clan, including compatible nutrition pods and nutrient fluid, as well as Force and mind-power weapons from the first to fifth tiers. I want you to raise every clan member at the Universe Level to the ninth Universe Level tier as quickly as possible."

Although he had already placed the Leimai Galaxy under the clan's control for their development, if the clan's foundation of strength was insufficient, they would not be able to maintain such a vast territory.

After all, quite a few planets in the Leimai Galaxy were developing well. Without a sufficient foundation of strength, they could not be controlled.

Nutrition pods and nutrient fluid that could supposedly create Universe Level Fighters?

Excitement flashed across everyone's faces in unison. If not for the awe Li Yilin inspired, they would likely have burst into cheers. Even so, they could not hide their excitement.

They were all Universe Level Fighters.

Naturally, they would receive a share of the distributed resources.

"The other ring contains one hundred Universe Level slaves, along with cultivation resources I prepared for ordinary clan members. They are all kinds of treasures I acquired over the years, rather miscellaneous. There may even be some relatively precious treasures whose value I have not yet discovered... I have already decided how these treasures will be used."

At this point, Li Yilin paused slightly, looked over everyone once more, and his expression grew even more solemn. "I want you to find a suitable life planet and establish an academy there. The academy's name will be...

"It shall be called Tuoxing Academy!

"...From now on, every Wutuo Clan member under five hundred years old whose strength has not reached the Star Level must join Tuoxing Academy for systematic study. The teachers at Tuoxing Academy will be the one hundred Universe Level Fighters in the ring, as well as those clan members whose strength is at the Universe Level or above. Only Fighters and Spirit Readers at the Universe Level or above may serve as teachers at Tuoxing Academy," Li Yilin added. He had no intention of allowing just anyone to teach the children.

"Yes." Blair nodded solemnly.

The other clan members bowed. "Yes."

Li Yilin lowered his gaze, looking indifferently at everyone. Finally, he said, "You are all my clan members. I hope you can grow stronger more quickly, preferably producing several more Domain Lord Level Fighters. I have given you the resources. Do not disappoint me."

The Wutuo Clan had only two Domain Lord Level Fighters. That was still not secure enough.

It would be even better if they could produce World Masters, or even Immortals.

Li Yilin thought.

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.

After entrusting everything to them, the others withdrew, leaving only Blair and Weide in the palace.

Once the unfamiliar people had left, the corner of Li Yilin's mouth rose slightly, and the solemn atmosphere immediately dissipated.

Weide looked at his most outstanding student, his face full of smiles as he sighed. "Your strength is growing ever greater."

"No matter how strong I become, I am still Teacher's student." Li Yilin flew down and stopped before Weide, giving a slight nod to show his respect.

"What are you planning to do next?" he asked softly.

He understood this student of his well. Li Yilin had always been cold and detached, especially after enduring thirty thousand years of life-and-death battles. His thoughts had become even harder to fathom.

Aside from a few old-timers like them, the rest of the clan members probably held no more importance in Li Yilin's eyes than the fact that they were of the same clan. As for affection, there was certainly very little.

Yet he had to admit that although Li Yilin's emotions were faint and shallow, as the clan's most powerful existence, he had fulfilled the responsibilities expected of him.

Protecting the clan members, bestowing resources, guiding the younger generation of the clan...

He had not failed the clan that had raised and taught him!

"I'm preparing to travel around the Universe Countries. If nothing unexpected happens, I will head to the Outer-Domain Battlefield in a hundred years," Li Yilin said.

The thirty thousand years of life-and-death battles had still affected him deeply. The ambush half a month ago,

"The Outer-Domain Battlefield!?" Weide's pupils suddenly constricted.
