Domain of Fire

"In terms of force amplification, after studying the Flowing Fire Blade, my current amplification can reach 18 times. However, there is still a significant gap compared to those people; I need to reach at least 30 times or more to be considered relatively strong."

"As for weapon mastery... I haven't used weapons much in the past, but the lack of experience can be made up for through the Killing Field."

"My movement technique, on the other hand, is the worst. My talent for the Laws of Space is practically non-existent; even now, I haven't even mastered the basics of Thousand Shadows, otherwise, I wouldn't be struggling so much."

Su Zhe said helplessly.

There are ways to make up for consciousness and experience.

But the movement technique he currently lacks is difficult to improve rapidly in a short period.

Unless Su Zhe can find some life forms with high talent for the Laws of Space to devour and inherit their talents.

But... it seems the only one left on Earth with high talent is the Golden Horned Beast.

Su Zhe does have the idea of devouring the Golden Horned Beast. After all, the Golden Horned Beast has the talent for avatars; as long as the original core remains, it won't truly die. Even if Su Zhe were to devour the Golden Horned Beast, Luo Feng wouldn't be affected.

He just needs to wait for Luo Feng to gestate an avatar.

Well, he still has to wait another two years.

The fastest way to improve right now should be to master a domain, Su Zhe thought to himself.

He is only one step away from mastering the Domain of Fire.

But that tiny bit he lacks has had Su Zhe stuck for quite some time.

Su Zhe shook his head and logged out of the Virtual Universe.

In reality.

On a small island in the Pacific Ocean.

Su Zhe opened his palm, and a wisp of deep black flame leapt out, condensing into a lazy little black cat that curled up in his palm, emitting a faint purring sound.

Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame.

Su Zhe stretched out his finger to tease it for a while; as time passed, its spirituality became increasingly clear.

"Meow?"

The little black cat seemed to sense its master's thoughts, raised its head, and affectionately rubbed against Su Zhe's finger.

"This little thing is becoming more and more lifelike." Babata curiously leaned in to observe. "The essence of the energy it contains is extremely high. If you can combine it with your insights into the laws, it might become an aid in your comprehension of a domain."

Babata and Luo Feng have seen the Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame before; after all, with Su Zhe right here, it's hard to hide.

"It has always had intelligence; there's no such thing as real or fake."

Su Zhe shook his head and put away the Nihility Devouring Flame. Although the Spirit of Nihility Devouring Flame has some intelligence, it is still some distance away from the day it can communicate.

He stood up, walked to the edge of the island, and looked down at the deep Pacific Ocean.

Powerful Psychic Power, like invisible tentacles, easily covered the sea area below. The surging undercurrents on the seabed and the migration of fish schools... all appeared before Su Zhe's eyes. The Psychic Power of a Star Level far exceeds that of a Planetary Level.

Observing the changes in the seawater, Su Zhe felt a strange emotion in his heart.

And just at this moment—

The communicator on Su Zhe's wrist vibrated; it was Atkin.

"Master!"

Atkin's voice carried a hint of irrepressible excitement: "Reporting to you! The preliminary framework of the Earth Federation has been completed!"

"Oh?"

Su Zhe was curious.

It is currently May 2061.

It has been almost three months since Su Zhe ordered Atkin to unify Earth. Since Su Zhe had been in closed-door cultivation, he hadn't paid much attention to Atkin's progress until today, when he finally received Atkin's message.

"America, the European Union, India, Soviet Russia, and even Huaxia have all officially signed the merger agreement and joined the Earth Federation."

Atkin reported.

"For the convenience of management, the original countries have been abolished and dissolved. After reorganization, the highest authority is the Earth Federation Council. Each of the original countries has a fixed seat for a council member, and the remaining seats are filled through elections or recommendations."

"As for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, we have held talks with them. They will continue to remain on Earth, but only as an 'educational institution' to train martial artists, and they will no longer possess any special power or status."

"The situation with the Thunder Martial Arts Hall was even simpler. They were leaderless and in internal chaos. We have dispatched forces to intervene and reorganize them. After clearing out a few die-hard elements, their remaining forces have also surrendered."

"...In short, Master, the Earth Federation has now completed the unification of Earth!"

Atkin said excitedly.

"Not bad."

Su Zhe nodded. Atkin had done a decent job in this regard.

With the help of those ninth-rank Planetary Level slaves, no force could resist.

"I'll leave the subsequent management to you as well."

Su Zhe directly acted as a hands-off manager; in any case, he didn't expect this Earth Federation to bring him any benefits.

Once Luo Feng gestured his clone into existence, the Earth Federation would be left to him; Su Zhe had no intention of becoming the Lord of Earth, nor did he plan to participate in the Genius Tournament. He would just let Luo Feng handle it.

The Genius Tournament... Su Zhe had harbored some thoughts about it before, but after his experiences in the Decisive Battle Space, those thoughts had vanished entirely.

Relying on slow, steady cultivation was far less efficient than growing rapidly through devouring!

Strength was the only absolute truth.

"Yes! Thank you for your trust, Master! Atkin will not fail your expectations!"

Atkin, unaware of what Su Zhe was thinking, said with great excitement.

The communication ended.

On the surface of the ocean, the massive head of the Golden Horned Beast, Luo Feng, slowly emerged from the water, his dark golden eyes fixed on Su Zhe.

"Stop staring. When the time comes, you go and purchase the ownership of Earth; the position of Lord of Earth will still be yours," Su Zhe said casually.

"...Fine."

Luo Feng paused, surprised that Su Zhe would say this, though it made sense.

Only Luo Feng could inherit the account of Hu Yanbo, and naturally, only Luo Feng had the funds required to purchase a planet.

"Still haven't mastered a Domain?"

Luo Feng asked.

He had not mastered a Domain either; in terms of the Concept of Metal, he was in a similar position to Su Zhe, just one step away from mastery, so he understood how Su Zhe felt.

"Yeah."

Su Zhe nodded.

"I'm planning to go back and clear my head," Su Zhe said.

"That works too." Luo Feng knew exactly where Su Zhe meant.

Yangzhou City.

The place where they had both grown up.

Although Luo Feng had never seen Su Zhe in Yangzhou City before this, it didn't matter.

As fellow countrymen, they shared a natural sense of kinship.

"Mastering a Domain has a lot to do with one's state of mind," Luo Feng said. "At least as far as I know, Thunder God mastered his Domain naturally after reaching the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Mm."

Su Zhe nodded and began to fly in the direction of Yangzhou City.

Clearing his head, Unity of Heaven and Man?

Looking at the shrinking sea below and the scorching sun overhead, Su Zhe felt a sudden stir of inspiration.

Domain.

What is a Domain?

It should be an enlightenment of the Laws, combined with an extension of one's own will!

There was no need for him to overcomplicate it.

Su Zhe felt as though he had finally touched the edge of a Domain.
