Taking Disciples

Inside a spacious lounge aboard the spaceship, Su Heng called Luo Feng and the other two over.

Seeing the tension on their faces, Su Heng smiled slightly before speaking.

"I imagine you're all confused, wondering why you were suddenly taken away from Earth."

The three exchanged glances, then nodded.

Even Luo Feng was deeply puzzled at this moment.

"How should I put this... In short, your planet is extremely special."

"Of course, the specialness I'm referring to is far beyond my level. I'm not talking about the inheritance of that Marquis-level Immortal."

Su Heng spoke slowly.

"Our planet is special? Babata, do you know why?" As soon as Su Heng finished speaking, Luo Feng immediately asked Babata in his mind.

"I don't know. Your Earth should be very ordinary. My master only descended upon your planet because he had no other choice." Babata sounded uncertain.

"Stop guessing. Even within the entire human race, very few people know about this matter." Su Heng shook his head and spoke to Luo Feng.

Not even the entire human race knew?

Luo Feng was utterly shocked. Babata had long since told him just how vast the human race was!

Even Huyan Bo, an Immortal God, had only visited a handful of Universe Countries in his entire life! His understanding of the human race as a whole was likely less than one hundred-millionth of it!

Yet even such a powerful human race had almost no one who knew of Earth's special nature!

What exactly was Earth?

"I can't say much about the specific reason. In short, you only need to remember one thing: no matter what, do everything you can to delay the time when Earth is exposed!"

"Once it is exposed, your homeland will no longer belong to you!" Su Heng said calmly.

Yet after hearing those words, all three of their expressions changed drastically.

Especially Hong, the strongest Earthling who had been striving ever since the Great Nirvana!

Ever since Hong had received the inheritance from the universe, he had constantly worried about civilizations beyond Earth invading!

That was why he had joined forces with Lei Shen to establish martial arts schools, dedicating himself to improving the strength of all humanity!

"May I ask what will happen to us Earthlings if Earth is exposed?" Hong's powerful will allowed him to calm down quickly. After all, he had long anticipated such an outcome. It had merely become reality now!

"Given your current status, Earthlings would likely be confined and divided up." Su Heng considered for a moment before answering.

Because Earthlings had undergone modifications, it was unlikely that they would simply be killed outright. However, the odds of being carved up among major forces were still high.

"Lord Annihilation King, you said just now that we could only delay Earth's exposure. Does that mean Earth will be exposed no matter what?" Luo Feng asked with a resolute expression.

"Yes. Earth being exposed is actually inevitable." Su Heng nodded.

As long as Luo Feng and Hong wanted to become powerful figures in the universe, Earth would inevitably be exposed.

Even if Hong did not challenge the Illusion Sea, the result would still be the same!

After all, they had all come from the weak planet Earth, yet powerful figures with extraordinarily special minds and wills had emerged one after another. That was clearly unreasonable.

"Uh, then how can we delay Earth's exposure?" Even Lei Shen, normally the most carefree of them, was seriously pondering the issue.

"That is a good question." Su Heng smiled slightly. After giving Lei Shen an approving look, he continued, "As long as you become my disciples, the chances of Earth being exposed before you truly grow strong will be greatly reduced!"

"Become your disciples?" All three cried out in surprise.

"That's right, become my disciples!" Su Heng nodded. "I said before that your Earth is very special, and that specialness has given the three of you a talent that even I greatly envy!"

"That talent is also why I value the three of you so highly!"

"Is that so?" Lei Shen rubbed his bald head. Did he possess some special talent?

"Special talent? How come I can't see it? That kid Luo Feng isn't especially heaven-defying either. He isn't even as good as a Star Domain Level genius." Babata muttered inwardly after hearing this.

"Babata!" Luo Feng's face darkened. Since their minds were connected, he could naturally hear Babata's muttering—though that was only because Babata had not cut off the connection!

"Talent." Hong's eyes flickered. He glanced at Lei Shen, then at Luo Feng, and formed a rough guess in his heart.

However, because he lacked too much common knowledge about the universe, Hong could not make a definite judgment.

"Before becoming your disciples, may I ask a question?" As the eldest among the three, Hong asked Su Heng after they exchanged several looks.

"Of course." Su Heng nodded, signaling for Hong to ask.

"That is, Lord Annihilation King, why do you know of Earth's special nature? According to what you just said, even within the entire human race, there should not be many who know.

"And Lord Annihilation King, although we do not know your exact strength or status, you presumably are not among the very highest ranks, are you?"

Hong looked at Su Heng and took a deep breath before speaking.

Although Babata had just explained the divisions within the Immortal realm to the three of them.

Babata itself was only a Marquis-level intelligent life, so it did not know much about the realms above the Immortal level.

It only knew that Universe Country Lords were far stronger than Immortals!

Yet even so, among the 1,008 Universe Country Lords, their status would far surpass that of King-level Immortals!

No matter how one looked at it, it should not have been a King-level Immortal who knew this secret.

"As for that, it is still too early for you to know. If one of you surpasses me in realm someday, perhaps I will tell you then." Su Heng smiled mysteriously and avoided the question.

Telling them about Mountain Seated Guest was fine. After all, they would all learn of that in the near future.

But as for his own transmigration, he would never reveal it before the very last moment.

Hong helplessly glanced at Luo Feng and Lei Shen, then nodded.

"In that case, the three of us are willing to take you as our master!"

From the moment Su Heng had told them this, they had truly had no reason to refuse.

After all, Earth was something the three of them could never abandon!

"Since that is the case, you are now the three personal disciples under my tutelage. Listen carefully. My name is Su Heng. I am a descendant of the Luo Yu Su Family, and my title is Annihilation King!"

Upon hearing their agreement, Su Heng's expression turned serious as well.

The relationship between master and disciple was the closest and most reliable relationship in the entire universe!

Even blood relatives might not compare to the bond between master and disciple!

"Yes, Master!"

The three of them knelt and bowed together.

There will be another chapter later.
