"Teacher, what secrets does Earth hold?" Luo Feng, clad in dark red Moyun Battle Armor, stared blankly at Ye Muxuan, completely unaware that such a matter, involving the Supreme Council of the Human Race, would fall upon him, a mere Domain Lord.
"To put it in terms you can understand, Earth was modified by a powerful being, making it easier for humans born on this planet to break through mental barriers," Ye Muxuan, clad in an embroidered black robe, said. "That's why you were able to reach the Ninth Form island in the Illusion Sea when you were at the Universe Rank, and Hong, with an even stronger mental state, was able to conquer the twenty-first island with the strength of Domain Lord."
"Those with high talent and comprehension can improve more easily when they are weak, so Boland's progress is very fast. If he had insisted on focusing on the Space Laws from the beginning, it wouldn't have been easy for you to catch up with him. However, as each strong person progresses, they place more emphasis on breakthroughs in their mental state. If nothing unexpected happens, Boland will be King Rank earlier, but Hong will reach the level of Kingdom Lord before Boland."
"You've been to Chaos City, so you should know its importance; it's our Human Race's sacred cultivation ground. However, in the eyes of the race's higher-ups, Earth's importance is comparable to Chaos City, as it can cultivate more geniuses with higher levels of spiritual cultivation. But Earth is now your territory, and the race won't directly demand it back. Therefore, you need to consider the ownership and management rights of Earth."
"If you are willing to relinquish ownership of Earth to your race, then, just like in Chaos City, the Five Great Powers Human Race factions will form an alliance to jointly govern it."
"Teacher, if a race is to manage the Earth, then what about the Earthlings?" Upon hearing this, Luo Feng suddenly asked.
"Earth is a cradle for human geniuses. If the Five Great Powers form an alliance to manage Earth, then its value needs to be fully exploited. Just like the time limit for comprehending the laws in Chaos City, not only will the current Earthlings need to leave after giving birth on Earth to make room for the next pregnant woman to enter," Ye Muxuan, embroidered in a black robe, said without concealment. This management method was almost foreseeable. "Earth is, after all, a life-bearing planet, and overall, it's simply too small."
Earth's diameter is only tens of thousands of kilometers, making it just an ordinary planet in terms of size. Its habitable space is limited, unlike Chaos City, which is located in Miniature Universe and can continue to expand. As long as there are geniuses, even more can be squeezed in.
"Teacher!" Ye Muxuan, dressed in an embroidered black robe, looked at Luo Feng, a lean man in dark red Moyun Battle Armor, who suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with unwavering conviction, "I refuse!"
"I don't want Earthlings to leave their homes and the places that nurtured them!"
"If you don't want to, then you don't want to. There's no need to make it seem like your teacher is forcing you." Ye Muxuan, clad in an embroidered black robe, remained silent for a long while before slowly revealing a small smile. "But you should think this through. Those universe lords in your clan who are on par with your teacher also have powerful families behind them. Each of their friends, disciples, relatives, and so on constitutes a formidable force. If you are unwilling to hand over Earth to your clan, then you are offending them."
"Among them, there must be some of the teacher's own people."
Luo Feng, clad in a dark red Moyun Battle Armor, sat there, his thoughts clashing intensely.
"With the talent you've shown so far, you have the potential to become a powerhouse at the level of Kingdom Lord in Wei Lai future. But even if you can rival the Ganwu Kingdom Lord, whom you're familiar with, or even reach the level Lian Luo your second senior brother Lian Luo, there's still a significant gap between you and your teacher," Ye Muxuan, embroidered in a black robe, said. "The gap widens as one progresses through the ranks. The difference between a universe ruler and Kingdom Lord is even greater. Based on what you know about Kingdom Lord, even if the Kingdom Lord of our more than a thousand Universe Kingdom joined forces, I could defeat them in a single move."
Luo Feng suddenly looked up.
He had anticipated the gap between a Kingdom Lord and a teacher, both at the pinnacle of power, but he hadn't expected the gap to be so vast. The Lord of the Universe was a level completely above Kingdom Lord!
"Teacher—" Luo Feng, his thoughts clashing fiercely, began with difficulty, "I—"
Yes, if we don't relinquish ownership of Earth, we'll offend the strongest beings at the pinnacle of our race, including our teacher.
On the contrary, if he hands it over, he can instantly gain the favor of these powerful figures! They themselves no longer need this cradle, but their clansmen, relatives, friends, and disciples do, and this intricate connection forms a vast network.
"If you can't decide, I have a suggestion for you," Ye Muxuan said, seeing Luo Feng struggling.
Luo Feng looked up at Ye Muxuan, who was sitting across the stone table with a gentle and calm demeanor, and said, "Teacher, please speak."
"I suggest you sign a lease agreement with the Virtual Universe Company, leasing a portion of Earth—such as some sea areas, Void Domain, or a large island—to them. The Virtual Universe Company would pay the rent and manage it in conjunction with other forces. This way, you won't offend the highest levels of humanity, and you'll still gain enough resources to grow faster," Ye Muxuan, embroidered in a black robe, spoke. "The lease term could be ten thousand epochs, one hundred thousand epochs, or even until you have enough strength to sit at the same table as your teacher."
"Strength determines status. The promise your teacher can make to you is that if one day you are strong enough to sit alongside them, then the Earth will absolutely belong to you Earthlings."
"Teacher," Luo Feng said, looking at Ye Muxuan, "I can't make this decision alone. I need to discuss it with my older brothers."
"Yes, that's appropriate," Ye Muxuan nodded. "But you should make a decision quickly; the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for you."
"I know, teacher." Luo Feng stood up and said, "Thank you for your support."
"Furthermore, I know you have the ability, so show it. There's no need to keep hiding it. Within the Human Race, hiding things is pointless. The higher your talent and the stronger you are, the more confident your teacher will be in supporting you at the Supreme Council."
"Teacher, I understand."
On this day, Luo Feng, a peerless genius who had been cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City and had broken through the Primal Tongtian Mountain at the Domain Lord level, made his move again after hundreds of years of silence. He entered the Tongtian Bridge Plane, broke through seven layers of the Heavenly Bridge, and went straight from the Tenth Layer to the Seventeenth Floor, passing through!
On this day, Hong, Core Member Primal Secret Realm who was sent to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom as Inspector Envoy, broke through the eighteen layers of illusion set up by the Illusionary King Illusion Spirit, the Limit King Level Illusionist of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and was unharmed!
On this day, Thor, who had always been optimistic and cheerful but low-key in his cultivation in the Ganwu Secret Realm, boldly challenged all the Universe Rank geniuses in the Ganwu Secret Realm. He overcame all obstacles and finally reached the top, becoming a god in one battle!
