Allocation

Bang!

Lu Yunhe and Dong Nanbiao landed lightly on the lawn before the villa. Ever since he had become a martial artist, the greatest change for his parents had probably been in their quality of life.

After all, they were all low-value items. There was no need to get hung up over such things.

"Who's here?"

Hearing the commotion, his father, Lu Hong, quickly came out. When Lu Yunhe returned, he had only informed Dong Nanbiao to pick him up and had not yet notified his family.

"Yunhe!"

Lu Hong was somewhat excited to finally see his son back. After all, he had vanished for half a year. Anyone who did not know better might have thought he had been taken away for dissection.

With Lu Yunhe gone, they had not even felt at ease living in this luxurious villa, as though it had simply fallen from the sky.

"Yunhe's back!"

Lu Hong called into the house, then quickly stepped forward. "Yunhe, Brother Dong, and the three of you as well—come in and have a seat!"

"The three of you?"

Hearing Lu Hong's words, Dong Nanbiao was instantly bewildered. Weren't there only two people, himself and Lu Yunhe? Where had three more come from?

Dong Nanbiao then looked behind him. Sure enough, two men and a woman in black had appeared there.

"Dad, these are the bodyguards I found. They'll be responsible for your safety from now on."

Lu Yunhe spoke up. The three people who had suddenly appeared were naturally the three Flowing Silver Guards he had obtained. After Dracion cracked their intelligent programming, he had kept them by his side.

With three Flowing Silver Guards around, virtually no one on Earth could harm his parents. After all, they were robots capable of dealing with Stellar-level beings and had been specifically manufactured to protect people.

"What should we call the three of you?"

Since they were bodyguards his son had found, Lu Hong was naturally reassured. Thinking that they might be living together in the future, he hurriedly asked their names.

"The three of them are robots, but they're equipped with highly advanced Intelligent Systems. If you run into any problems or trouble, just go to them."

Lu Yunhe smiled. "As for their names, just call them Flowing Gold, Flowing Silver, and Flowing Copper."

"Gold, silver, copper. Those really are casual names."

Dong Nanbiao complained from the side, though he also understood that these robots, like the Black God Set in his hands, had likely been obtained by Lu Yunhe from a civilization relic.

Before long, his mother Chen Ya and younger brother Lu Mingyuan hurried out of the house as well.

After drinking a cup of tea, Dong Nanbiao tactfully excused himself on the grounds that he had matters to handle, leaving the family of four to reunite.

With Dong Nanbiao gone, his parents and younger brother immediately began asking Lu Yunhe about his experiences during this time, as well as the problems they had encountered themselves.

Lu Yunhe picked out a few experiences that people could barely believe and chatted about them. After all, he could not exactly say that he had taken a trip to Mars, then gone to the Sun to cultivate...

As for the problems his parents had encountered during this time, once people learned that he had returned, someone would handle them properly and give him an explanation.

And next time, the Stellar-level Flowing Silver Guards, working with Dracion's intelligent subsystem, would resolve every problem they encountered on Earth.

"Now that I'm back, I probably won't be going out again anytime soon."

When his family asked about his plans, Lu Yunhe thought for a moment. After reaching the Planetary Level, Earth's resources simply could not help him make another breakthrough in the short term. Naturally, he had no plans to go out and train.

Lu Yunhe had placed his hopes of breaking through to the Stellar level on the Divine Tree Avatar. As for cultivating himself from the Planetary Level to the Stellar level, that was somewhat unrealistic.

"Good, good!"

Hearing that Lu Yunhe planned to stay for a long time, his parents immediately sighed in relief. A father rose through his son's success; without Lu Yunhe supporting them, they truly felt rather uneasy.

Seeing his family relax, Lu Yunhe smiled and had the Divine Tree Avatar keep an eye out for items that could raise an Apprentice-level martial artist's strength, so that his parents could reach the Planetary Level sooner.

Once they possessed power themselves, they would no longer be like duckweed without roots.

As for his younger brother Lu Mingyuan, Lu Yunhe had his own arrangements. There was no need to increase his strength so quickly. He should temper his temperament first.

Given Earth's unique circumstances, raising one's strength too quickly at too young an age was not a good thing. The best time to become a martial artist was actually after reaching adulthood. In any case, by the time standards of Swallowed Star, a few years earlier or later made no difference at all. Once one reached the Planetary Level, one would have a lifespan of a thousand years.

After the family of four enjoyed a peaceful dinner, Jia Yi came to find Lu Yunhe the next day with a bitter smile.

"Brother Yunhe..."

Jia Yi wore a bitter smile. The days of the Great Cataclysm had only just ended, yet some people were already so restless? Most crucially, he had to clean up after them.

There was no helping it. Jia Yi was currently the strongest person in the country apart from Lu Yunhe, the only pillar holding things up.

"Has it all been dealt with?"

Lu Yunhe was sunbathing on the lawn and interrupted Jia Yi's upcoming meaningless remarks. He had originally planned to salvage the Spaceships he had discovered as well, but on second thought, he decided against it. Sometimes, a slower pace of development was not a bad thing. There was no rush, anyway.

The Great Cataclysm had lasted too short a time. It had left people far too little time to adjust their mindsets and beliefs. At the very least, they would have to wait until the next generation.

"They've all been sentenced to death. I carried out the executions personally," Jia Yi said solemnly. In chaotic times, harsh laws were necessary. They could no longer let certain people harbor illusions of getting lucky.

"Mm."

Lu Yunhe nodded. Though he said nothing, his consciousness level, which had already reached the Stellar level, along with the influence of the Pinnacle Cosmic Race Gene Level inherited from his avatar, still left Jia Yi beside him tense from head to toe.

Lu Yunhe had become stronger after this trip—more unfathomable than ever. Just what did he obtain from those civilization relics?

Jia Yi was inwardly horrified. If the previous Lu Yunhe had still given him the impression of possessing a certain youthful quality, then the current one was like a cosmic ferocious beast crouching here. That meant his strength far exceeded Jia Yi's imagination.

"Forget it. As long as it's settled!"

Lu Yunhe patted Jia Yi on the shoulder, causing the latter's entire body to instantly relax. At the same time, Jia Yi discovered that an additional object had appeared in his hand.

"A Wood Gem!"

Having consumed one before, Jia Yi naturally recognized the rice-scented crystal in his hand. It was a Treasure that could allow a War God to easily break through to the Planetary Level, making it one of the most valuable items on Earth at this time.

With a Wood Gem, one could guarantee the creation of a Planetary-level martial artist. In this era, it carried immense strategic value.

"Thank you!"

Jia Yi watched Lu Yunhe walk away, then sincerely saluted his retreating figure.

Sensing Jia Yi's action, Lu Yunhe waved his hand. With Jia Yi, Dong Nanbiao, and this Wood Gem, that amounted to three Planetary-level martial artists.

With him overseeing things, plus three Planetary-level martial artists, they could barely manage in this era. Moreover, with Jia Yi and Dong Nanbiao as useful helpers, he would not need to handle everything himself, saving him a great deal of trouble.
