Golden Horned Behemoth

After joining the Yunmo Planet lineage, a long period of leisure followed—the very life Tang Ping had long been looking forward to.

Every day was spent reading books, playing games, and whenever he felt bored, he would find his brothers to head out to the Wilderness Zone for some fun. This dream-like, wonderful life lasted for nearly three years.

During these three years, Tang Ping also found opportunities to bind Hong and Thunder God as his Tool Persons. After revealing a small portion of his strength, Hong was sensible enough not to insist on assigning him any official duties.

Of course, besides Hong and Thunder God, Tang Ping also took the opportunity to bind the other five of the "Six Heroes of Earth" from the original story as Tool Persons: Mohanderson, East, Tripathi Singh, Jia Yi, and Sokolov.

These four non-Huaxia Martial Artists were the only exceptions among all the Tool Persons Tang Ping currently held. After all, he still harbored some nationalistic tendencies; it was only because their acts of sacrificing themselves in the original timeline had moved him that he gave them this chance. If judged solely by talent, Tang Ping wouldn't have bothered with them.

Naturally, although he had bound so many people as his Tool Persons, he set their reward distribution ratios to the absolute minimum.

It wasn't that Tang Ping was being stingy, but rather that he didn't want any major variables to arise during these few years.

For instance, if he had set the distribution ratio for Hong and Thunder God too high, and they had made some major breakthroughs during these three years, what would he do if he couldn't defeat the Golden Horned Behemoth when it emerged?

The Golden Horned Behemoth incident occupied a fairly important position in Tang Ping's future plans, and he could not allow any accidents that might escape his control.

Furthermore, over the past three years, the strength of Tang Ping and his brothers had undergone earth-shaking changes.

With the complete cultivation secret techniques of the Yunmo Planet lineage, coupled with the bonuses provided by Tang Ping's system, any one of them could now easily crush everyone else in the world.

Each of them was at the Star Level, possessed a high-level domain, and had at least grasped a trace of the laws of the universe.

Tang Ping was naturally the biggest beneficiary, as evidenced by his current system panel.

[Heaven Rewards Diligence System]

Host: Tang Ping

Realm: Martial Artist Star Level 9, Spirit Reader Star Level 9.

Current number of bindable Tool Persons: 80 (Note: Can bind individuals no more than one major realm higher than the host).

Current number of bound Tool Persons: 72.

Tool Person No. 1: Jiang Yang, Star Level 3 (Reward distribution ratio: 9999:1).

Tool Person No. 2: Li Ze, Martial Artist Star Level 2, Spirit Reader Star Level 4 (Reward distribution ratio: 9999:1).

Tool Person No. 3: Li Zhongyun, Star Level 3 (Reward distribution ratio: 9999:1).

Tool Person No. 7: Tang Yongyuan, Planetary Level 9 (Reward distribution ratio: 9999:1).

Tool Person No. 8: Luo Hua, Planetary Level 9 (Reward distribution ratio: 9999:1).

After stepping into the Star Level, the system had no other major changes besides the increase in the number of bindable Tool Persons and the reward critical hit multiplier, which remained the same as before.

As for his strength, besides what was on the panel, his domain level and his grasp of the laws of the universe were not displayed.

Since the only ones among his Tool Persons who had grasped a domain were his brothers, Hong, and Thunder God (Thunder God had grasped a domain earlier than in the original story, even under the lowest reward bonus), he had not yet reached the goal of mastering all types of domains.

The laws of the universe were limited to those his brothers had grasped, and their proficiency wasn't particularly high; after all, he had allocated the highest reward ratios to his brothers, so he naturally didn't receive much himself.

If it weren't for City Lord Luo being so capable, he might have become the weakest among his brothers had he not adjusted the distribution ratios.

However, City Lord Luo was, after all, City Lord Luo. Even with half of his rewards going to Tang Ping, his rate of strength growth was still faster than the other brothers, especially regarding the laws of the universe.

Among all the brothers, only he had stepped over the threshold of the laws of the universe, and correspondingly, Tang Ping had also gained an understanding of the Gold Law, which was the threshold his brother had crossed.

Of course, because all the brothers upheld the principle of keeping a low profile, no one in the world currently knew of their true strength.

Aside from the increase in strength, the only other thing worth mentioning in the three years was that three of the brothers chose to get married, including City Lord Luo.

The mere public identity of being a Councilor-level powerhouse was enough to make the Xu Family scramble to get close to him, so City Lord Luo successfully won the beauty's heart without a hitch, just like in the original story.

Within those three years, he also successfully had his fated pair of twin sons, naming them Luo Ping and Luo Hai, just as in the original story. For this, he received a sound beating from Tang Ping, who claimed he must have done it on purpose to take advantage of him.

Finally, on the evening of January 13, 2060.

The Golden Horned Behemoth appeared as scheduled, swallowing a large military base in New York State in one gulp and announcing its arrival to Earth.

As Councilor-level powerhouses, Tang Ping and his brothers soon received notification of a meeting at the War God Palace.

After watching the video of the Golden Horned Behemoth played at the meeting, the others gasped in shock, looking as if the end of the world were at hand.

Tang Ping's brothers, however, were extremely calm, while Tang Ping himself appeared somewhat excited because he knew all the facts.

The plan he had been waiting for so long could finally begin.

Of course, Tang Ping wasn't actually that impatient; otherwise, he would have found the Golden Horned Behemoth while it was still an egg in the ocean. The reason he hadn't done so was mainly because he was lazy.

While the brothers were very calm, Babata, whom Tang Ping had specifically asked Luo Feng to bring along, began screaming frantically in Luo Feng's sea of consciousness.

"Heavens!!! What the hell? Where did you get this video? How could you possibly get this footage?"

"What video? It's just from Earth. This monster is currently slaughtering people on Earth. But Babata, aren't you making too much of a fuss? This monster doesn't look very strong; any one of us could go and slaughter it," Luo Feng said, clearly feeling that Babata was overreacting.

"You said... the Golden Horned Behemoth has appeared on Earth?" Babata couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it's currently in the interior of North America," Luo Feng replied.

"We've hit the jackpot! We've really hit the jackpot! A Starry Sky Behemoth with such a high-level bloodline has actually appeared on your Earth. It's truly a pie falling from the sky! I was worried before that although you are a peerless genius in other aspects, your bloodline was a fatal flaw that might affect your path to becoming a peerless powerhouse. Now, the opportunity has arrived!" Babata was so excited he was becoming incoherent.
