Virtual Universe, Nine Star Bay.
When Hong rushed over, he was startled to see Xu Xin, who was in tears and looked haggard, and Thor, who was pale and frowning.
Thor recently finished his external assignment and returned to Chaos City to comprehend the laws in preparation for breaking through to the World Lord. He is not currently in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. As for himself, he has spent the last few hundred years after breaking through to the World Lord level training in the Eighteen Starfield Prison. If it weren't for Xu Xin sending him several emails in a row, he might not have been willing to come over.
"What happened?" Hong, still unclear about what had occurred, asked. Had someone taken advantage of their absence to bully Xu Xin and the others? But Luo Feng was still there... Could it be...?
"Brother Hong, something's happened to the third brother." The white-robed Thor, his brows furrowed, spoke first.
Hong, dressed in black, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Suppressing the turmoil in his mind, Hong said, "What happened? Tell me slowly."
"The sky won't fall down."
When Hong said this, he used a bit of illusion magic. Even though Xu Xin had the Heart of Eternity, it was only because Luo Feng had forcibly added it to the Universe Rank. How could she possibly withstand Hong's illusion magic?
Hong's illusion calmed Xu Xin down considerably. Although she still looked haggard, she was able to clearly express what had happened.
Just a few days ago, Xu Xin received an email from her husband, filled with everyday moments, affection, memories of the past, and his final entrustment.
He said he would return in the distant Wei Lai, perhaps ten thousand years, or even a million years.
After all, for a powerful figure like the Shadow Blade Master, even a small delay could last for millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years.
Hong had already become a disciple of the Universe Master Mingwu and had the King Yeshang as his senior brother, so he naturally knew what Luo Feng meant by "coming back" in the email.
This is a fallen hero resurrected!
Why was Luo Feng convinced he would perish? He was merely training in the Outer Battlefield! He had Shadow Blade Master, a great being, and had many extremely powerful senior brothers. He believed that if Luo Feng's life were in danger, he would surely use the life-saving methods given to him by the Shadow Blade Master!
The Outer Battlefield can hold off the Venerable Kingdom Lord, but it absolutely cannot stop a great being like the Shadow Blade Master!
"I remember the third brother has a Soul Slave, isn't it Baikaluo from the Blade Race?" These thoughts flashed through Hong's mind in an instant before he spoke, pointing directly in one direction, "If something happens to the third brother, Baikaluo will definitely be in trouble too!"
"Yes, and Baikaluo too!" As if sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, Xu Xin suddenly remembered Baikaluo, the captain of the guard who was still on Earth and a World Lord Level powerhouse.
Baikaluo is fine!
The information was confirmed immediately through Virtual Universe communication, and the gloom in Xu Xin's heart dissipated considerably.
"I can't contact the Shadow Blade Master, the teacher of the third brother, but I can ask my teacher to inquire about the situation," Hong said, both to comfort Thor and to reassure Xu Xin.
"Thank you for your trouble." Even as Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company, Xu Xin had no access to powerhouses at the level of Kingdom Lord. She didn't know how strong her husband's teacher was, but he was definitely much stronger than Kingdom Lord.
"It's alright, we're all brothers."
In the Virtual Universe, an independent plane, Hong told his teacher on the throne about everything, asking him to inquire with Luo Feng's teacher, the Shadow Blade Master, about Luo Feng's current situation.
During the foggy time, Hong, with his own state of mind, suddenly froze for a moment when he realized that his teacher, whose state of mind had always been superior to his own.
"Can."
A calm and indifferent voice came from the throne.
In the Primal Universe, on the Outer Battlefield Star Tower, the Universe Master Mingwu, clad in dark red armor, suddenly appeared. The White Phoenix Palace Master had already gone to the newly conquered territory to guard the border and suppress the alien Alien Race. Now, guarding the Outer Battlefield was another Universe Overlord, the Venerable Fengtian, an extremely ancient Overlord, and also the personal disciple of the Master Dragon Walk.
Ripples spread through the space, and Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, appeared there. No one could sense the appearance of the two universe masters.
"It seems it's Luo Feng this time." Standing side by side, the two cosmic lords looked at the towering, bronze-colored, massive tower, Ye Muxuan suddenly spoke.
"I originally thought Hong had a better chance," Universe Master Mingwu.
In fact, back on Earth, the broken metal plate that Ming Yu had thrown away ended up in Xu Xin's hands, and then in Luo Feng's hands. Both of them knew this, and thus knew the outcome as well.
The fact that he uttered those words now was simply because returning to this familiar place had stirred up deep memories in his mind.
Without cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, one is not qualified to claim the Star Tower as their master. Ordinary Earthlings born from the Origin Soul might be qualified to use it, but the master of the Star Tower must definitely be someone who has cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.
Or rather, without cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, one cannot sense the summons of the Star Tower. This is the calculation of the Mountain Sitting Guest; once any powerful being in the Primal Universe enters the game, regardless of their strength, no one can break the deadlock.
Perhaps Ye Muxuan could, because he doesn't enter the game. If he doesn't enter the chessboard, he's not a piece, nor is he the one who moves the pieces; he's just an observer, so naturally he doesn't need to break the game.
"How many years did you persist back then?" Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, looked at Ming Yu and asked.
"More than three thousand years, I suppose," said the Universe Master Mingwu, clad in dark red armor. Even after his resurrection, this memory remained etched in his heart, impossible to forget. "I remember Puti saying that the first candidate persisted for over two thousand years."
"It's a pity he's World Lord and can't be resurrected," Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, said with a hint of regret in his voice. "Otherwise, I'd really like to know, if neither of you had recognized the Star Tower as your master, whose realm would have been higher?"
The first candidate for the Mountain Sea World was a World Lord, who lived hundreds of billions of years ago. Even if he were the Lord of the Universe, he could not resurrect a World Lord who had vanished into the river of time.
"How many years has Luo Feng persisted here?" It's impossible to compare him to someone who has already perished, not even by Reverse Time and Space.
"It's been over six thousand years, but his aura is still here," Ye Muxuan, dressed in a simple white robe, said. "The level of his Law Comprehension he displayed in the Virtual Universe some time ago should be enough to pass the Twentieth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge."
More than six thousand years ago.
The Universe Master Mingwu, clad in dark red armor, paused for a moment.
What a terrifying guy.
Even without the Star Tower, he is not worried about his Wei Lai.
The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, the Star Tower, the leader of the Source Star —this is a path, the path arranged by the Mountain Sitting Guest, but the path I've forged myself is also a path! A broad and prosperous road ahead!
"Go and talk to Luo Feng's family. I have some inspiration, and perhaps it's time to take that step." After carefully examining the Star Tower for a while, Universe Master Mingwu spoke, and with a ripple in the space, his dark red figure disappeared into the Outer Battlefield.
"Okay." The dark red figure disappeared, but Ye Muxuan's voice still traveled through the layers of space.
An email was sent to Xu Xin, containing nothing fancy, just one sentence. "It has been confirmed that Luo Feng is in seclusion and is still alive; he has not perished."
