After making their decision, the three of them flew towards the American continent. The Golden-Horned Beast had landed in the Americas this time. Although it had eaten its fill and sunk to the bottom of the sea, it was unlikely to change its target until it sensed a threat from humans.

As the three had predicted, just one day later, the Golden-Horned Beast once again landed on the American continent.

Seeing this, the three dared not hesitate and immediately flew towards the direction of the Golden-Horned Beast. As soon as they saw the Golden-Horned Beast, the three instantly began to burn their domains and attacked the Golden-Horned Beast.

At this moment, the Golden-Horned Beast also sensed the threat emanating from the three of them. It roared angrily and charged towards them.

The three people and the beast quickly clashed.

Luo Feng, the strongest of the three, could create a large gash in the Golden-Horned Beast with each attack, but this gash was nothing compared to the Golden-Horned Beast's enormous size.

Despite its immense power, the Golden-Horned Beast lacked combat experience and struggled to find effective ways to deal with the slippery trio.

However, continuing to fight like this would be disadvantageous for the three of them. After all, they had all burned their domains to gain their temporary strength, but this state could not last. As time went on, the three of them would gradually become exhausted.

Seeing this, Luo Feng gritted his teeth and once again opened a large gash in the belly of the Golden-Horned Beast. A resolute look flashed in Hong and Divine Eye as they quickly crawled into the huge gash.

The Golden-Horned Beast roared angrily. Luo Feng restrained its energy from the outside, while Hong and Thor wreaked havoc inside its body. Beset by internal and external troubles, the Golden-Horned Beast's aura gradually weakened.

Unfortunately, the three did not know that the Golden-Horned Beast's true weakness was its source core; as long as the source core remained intact, it would not die.

So after a short while, the auras of the three began to weaken, but although the aura of the Golden-Horned Beast was also weakening, it was still much stronger than the three of them.

Seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. A golden light emanated from between his brows and instantly struck the Golden-Horned Beast. The entire spacetime seemed to freeze, and then Luo Feng's body and the Golden-Horned Beast fell into the sea together.

At this moment, Hong and Thor also flew out of the Golden-Horned Beast's body, supported by the faint light. However, before they could reach the shore, their bodies went limp and they fell into the sea.

Gulanxiu shook his head as he watched this scene. He wasn't surprised by it. Similar things had happened several times in the past few years. No matter how he tried to change things, he could only change the process, not the outcome.

For example, this time, because of his intrusion, Luo Feng's strength was greatly enhanced, but the Golden-Horned Beast was not seriously injured by the laser cannon. As a result, even with the combined strength of Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor, they still managed to fight the Golden-Horned Beast to a standstill.

Hong and Thor fell into a coma, while Luo Feng successfully possessed the Golden-Horned Beast. Apart from fewer deaths than in the original story, there was no difference in other aspects.

"Small trends can be changed, but large trends cannot be reversed? But why is it that anything related to Luo Feng is considered a large trend?" Gulanxiu wondered to himself.

However, he didn't dwell on these things and just kept watching.

As he thought this, he saw time and space on Earth begin to reverse, and one after another, metal fortresses that had been devoured by the Golden-Horned Beast appeared. Along with them, the humans who died in the Golden-Horned Beast's calamity also appeared and were pulled back to reality by Gulanxiu.

In the blink of an eye, the west coast of the Beautiful Country returned to its state before the arrival of the Golden-Horned Beast.

Gulanxiu smiled and nodded, then pointed at Hong and Thor from a distance. A mysterious power enveloped the two of them and quickly repaired their souls.

Having done all this, Gulanxiu stepped out and returned to his own manor.

Meanwhile, the entire Earth was in chaos. The Devouring Beast had descended, and Human Race was on the verge of collapse, with hundreds of thousands already dead. However, after the three strongest humans joined forces to kill the Devouring Beast, all the dead humans were resurrected, and even the metal fortress was repaired.

Everything returned to what it was before the disaster, as if all of humanity had experienced the same nightmare.

Ordinary people, after their initial amazement, didn't care anymore. After all, this was not a problem for them, like cattle and horses. Their main concern was to work hard and pay off car loans, mortgages, and other unsecured loans.

However, the higher-ups of humanity and powerful Warrior on Earth Humans are constantly exploring this mysterious power, as such might is simply too alluring.

Reverse Time and Space is a power possessed only by the rulers of the universe; how could they, at most Planetary Level, possibly comprehend it?

After the battle with the Golden-Horned Beast, Earth returned to normal once again. With Hong and Thor suppressing the chaos, Earth couldn't possibly descend into disorder. Clowns like Yan Hai couldn't possibly cause any trouble.

About six months later, Xu Xin gave birth to twins for Luo Feng, and then attempted suicide by jumping off a building but survived.

Several months later, Luo Feng successfully created Earthling Clone using the Golden-Horned Beast's Clone Talent, Luo Feng returned to the human world.

At this moment, Luo Feng arrived at Gulanxiu's manor again and respectfully said to Gulanxiu, "Master! Your disciple has returned!"

Looking at the mysterious teacher before him, Luo Feng was filled with respect. What immense power it was to be able to bring someone back to life and restore everything to its original state!

Gulanxiu nodded and said with a smile, "Not bad! You've actually turned misfortune into blessing this time. Possessing the Golden-Horned Beast is considered a mid-level opportunity even in the universe."

Luo Feng respectfully said, "It is thanks to the secret technique that my teacher taught me that I was able to possess the Golden-Horned Beast at the last moment."

Gulanxiu nodded and said, "Now that you have possessed the Golden-Horned Beast, you have a solid foundation. It's time for you to venture into the universe. Compared to the vast universe, Earth is far too small. With your talent, Earth has become a constraint. The universe should be your stage."

Upon hearing Gulanxiu's words, Luo Feng excitedly replied, "Yes, teacher!"

Now that he is invincible on Earth, he naturally yearns for the vast universe, but he doesn't know how to get out. However, since Gulanxiu said so, he must have a way to take him out.

Sure enough, Gulanxiu handed over a ring and said to Luo Feng, "This world ring contains a D-Class Spaceship, enough to allow you to enter the universe."

There are also some resources here that you need for your cultivation, enough to help you reach the Realm Lord Level.

I've opened an account for you at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. You'll receive a sum of money every time you break through a major realm.

Furthermore, there is an Intelligent Life within this World Ring that can teach you various common-sense concepts about the universe, preventing you from wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly!

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng excitedly said, "Thank you, teacher! Can I take my older brothers with me?"

Gulanxiu waved his hand and said, "Suit yourself! But those two don't have clones, so once they're dead, they're really dead. Don't expect me to resurrect them. So whether you go or not is up to you to decide."

Luo Feng nodded and said, "Yes, teacher!"

After leaving Gulanxiu, Luo Feng discussed the matter with Hong and Thor and then left Earth together.

He then quickly became Star Level mercenary by relying on various resources in the universe and became Probationary Mercenary in the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

During this time, the Nuolanshan Family's expedition also discovered Earth, but before they could transmit any useful information, they were wiped out by a single thought from Gulanxiu.

In the blink of an eye, the Universe Peak Genius Battle began.

This time, Luo Feng is different from the one in the original work. With his good Law Comprehension of space, he became the number one in his World Zone without any suspense and entered the finals directly without having to go through the challenge.

After Gulanxiu demonstrated all the changes of the Law of Light to him, Hong's strength was greatly improved compared to the original story. In addition, the Intelligent Life that Gulanxiu gave to Luo Feng was much more knowledgeable than Babata, which had a great guiding significance for the three brothers' cultivation. Therefore, they successfully entered the finals through the subsequent Reincarnation competition.

Although Thor is much stronger than in the original story, he is still not strong enough and failed to break through his own World Zone, thus being eliminated.

Next came the final selection. Due to Gulanxiu's interference, the Human Race's strength and territory were now dozens of times larger than in the original story.

Although some territories are not in the Core Region, thanks to the vast territory, the number of Human Race geniuses is more than ten times that of before.

Therefore, nowadays, Virtual Universe Company and Axe Fighting Arena recruit 10,000 geniuses for each Genius Battle.

The talented individuals who made it to the finals were first ranked by conquering the Trial Tower.

Due to the expansion of the Human Territory, three of this year's geniuses reached the Seventh Layer of the Trial Tower. In the original work, the exceptionally talented Bolan only ranked second in this attempt to conquer the Trial Tower.

Even though Luo Feng had Gulanxiu's guidance and was much stronger than in the original story, his training time was too short. This time, he only made it to the sixth level of the Sixth Layer Trial Tower, ranking ninth among all the participants.

As for Hong, with his strong will, he barely withstood the Soul Attack of the Zerg Queen in the seventh level of the third floor and made it to the fourth floor, ultimately ranking 71,300th and barely making it through.

What followed was the brutal elimination rounds.

Hong was lucky; his opponents in the first two rounds were not much stronger than him, and he managed to get through them by a narrow margin thanks to his calm thinking, strong will, and rich combat experience.

In the final round, however, he encountered a formidable opponent—the Illusion Demon Jialai Xi.

Illusionist Galesi's strength ranks among the top 100 of the contestants, but because the Trial Tower is not particularly friendly to Illusionist, she only barely made it to the fifth level of the fourth floor this time.

But his true strength was fully revealed during the challenge match. He didn't even have to lift a finger against his opponents in the previous two rounds; he killed them with just a glance.

He was full of confidence even when facing the unknown Hong.

As soon as the battle began, he launched a Soul Attack at Hong.

After taking the blow from Jialai Xi, Hong's face turned pale and his body swayed, but he still raised his Long Spear and charged towards Jialai Xi!

"You have some strength! But that's all!" Illusion Demon Jialai Xi sneered, and then launched another Soul Attack at Hong.

With a loud "thud," Hong fell straight to the ground.

"That's more like it!" said the Illusion Demon Jialai Xi with a smile.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred. Hong, who should have been defeated and disappeared in the Virtual Universe, suddenly stood up, and his Long Spear transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, thrusting towards Jialai Xi.

"What?" A look of shock flashed in Jialai Xi's eyes, clearly not understanding why his illusion had failed. But he reacted quickly, swiftly controlling a disc-shaped Psychic Force weapon to slash at Hong.

Hong slightly turned his body, flicked his Long Spear, and continued to thrust it towards Jialai Xi.

With a "whoosh!" sound, Jialai Xi's Psychic Force weapon sliced Hong in half at the waist, and a black, corrosive energy spread upwards from Hong's waist.

However, Hong's eyes were unusually calm at this moment. Even though he was seriously injured and his entire body was being constantly corroded by black energy, he still resolutely thrust out the Long Spear in his hand.

With a loud "bang!", Hong's Long Spear pierced Jialai Xi's head. Jialai Xi's headless body slowly fell to the ground and disappeared into the Virtual Universe.

The third battle! Hong Sheng! With this victory, he successfully became Core Layer genius of the Virtual Universe Audit Company.

This outcome surprised many cultivators watching the battle, since in terms of Law Comprehension, Jialai Xi was much stronger than Hong, but the result was exactly the opposite.

However, for some, this outcome was to be expected. Hong was far too calm in the battle, first feigning weakness to mislead Jialai Xi, and then suddenly launching an attack when Jialai Xi was off guard.

When faced with Jialai Xi's counterattack, he was incredibly decisive, using his Long Spear to dodge Jialai Xi's Psychic Force weapon. In the end, he made a desperate, all-or-nothing attack on Jialai Xi, successfully defeating Jialai Xi.

Of course, in the real world, the outcome of this battle would most likely be a lose-lose situation, with Hong having virtually no chance of withstanding the corrosive power of Jialai Xi's attack.

But this battle takes place in Virtual Universe, and with Jialai Xi dying first, the victor will inevitably be Hon.

Jialai Xi's defeat left many spectators feeling somewhat regretful. After all, Jialai Xi's Law Comprehension ranked among the top 100 participants, and normally he should have entered the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company. However, he didn't even have the chance to be among the top 10,000 to enter the Virtual Universe Company, which was indeed hard to accept.

Jialai Xi reappeared in the selection plaza of the Virtual Universe Company and shouted, "Venerable Excellency! I refuse to accept this! Hong cheated! If we fight again, I will definitely win!"

The head of this Virtual Universe Company's Genius Battle, Nine Swords Venerable, sneered, "Naive! Even if you fight ten thousand more times and win every single one, it won't change the outcome this time. Your Genius Battle journey is over."

As the Nine Swords Venerable spoke these words, Jialai Xi's figure vanished.
