Earth is a Good Place

Roughly half an hour later, Li Che crossed the cosmic starry sky and once again arrived silently above Earth.

Overlooking the beautiful, azure planet beneath his feet and gazing at the seven continents and four oceans that were once so familiar in his memories, Li Che rubbed his chin and gradually sank into deep thought.

Not gonna lie, Earth truly was a good place.

As a planet personally modified by the mysterious strongest being in the universe and former God of Jin, the Mountain Guest, Earth possessed the characteristic that any life born on Earth would have their soul evolve in certain aspects.

Specifically, souls born on Earth tended to undergo transformations much more easily, and their state of mind, willpower, and other aspects also found it easier to transcend the mundane.

At the same time, souls modified by Earth's environment were also a prerequisite for cultivating the Nine Tribulations Manual within the Primitive Universe.

In Li Che's view, Earth currently only had two things of true value.

The first was Earth itself; he was now fully equipped to send some clansmen close to him to Earth and have them bear offspring there, allowing them to achieve soul evolution.

And the second was the Nine Tribulations Manual left behind on Earth by the Mountain Guest.

As for the Golden Horned Beast egg, the Zerg Queen, Hu Yanbo, and others that appeared in Luo Feng's era, none of those things had yet appeared on Earth at the current stage.

As his thoughts spun rapidly, Li Che felt a sense of helplessness.

The two things he could currently access simply could not be converted into tangible gains in a short period of time.

First was the problem with Earth itself; this planet could indeed modify embryos in the wombs of pregnant women and cause the embryos to undergo soul evolution, thereby increasing the potential of newborns to a certain extent.

The problem, however, was that this so-called soul evolution was far too abstract.

From the Mountain Sea Realm era to the Origin Star era, and further on to the Earth era, the lives born on this planet were simply countless, but those who truly translated this so-called soul evolution into strength were merely those few sparse individuals.

To say nothing else, just look at how Earth was currently treated as a pastoral planet by the Silver-Blue Empire-innumerable lives born here and venturing into the universe had never once been heard of rising to prominence.

Prodigies like Luo Feng and Hong could only be said to be met by chance, not sought.

As for the second point, the Nine Tribulations Manual, Li Che didn't even dare to entertain thoughts about it.

This manual, exclusive to Earthlings for raising gene levels, had extremely strict restrictions on cultivation within the Primitive Universe; even with the Mountain Guest expending massive amounts of thought, practitioners remained singular and unique.

That is to say, as long as one was a practitioner of the Nine Tribulations Manual, one would be noticed by the Mountain Guest one hundred percent of the time.

Li Che possessed the qualifications to cultivate the Nine Tribulations Manual because he inherited the legacy of the Mountain Sea Realm Li Che. As long as he accepted all of it, Li Che's original body's soul would become tainted with the characteristics of an Earthling soul, thereby enabling him to cultivate the Nine Tribulations Manual.

Li Che could even obtain the opportunity to attempt to gain ownership of the Star Tower.

The biggest problem, however, was that Li Che's current original body was not an Earthling!

This point could be easily confirmed by any Universe Master or Supreme Being of the Universe who came over to retrace spacetime and examine Li Che's growth process up to the present.

If the Mountain Guest noticed this, Li Che figured there was a high probability the Mountain Guest would slice him up on the spot for research.

Therefore, from beginning to start, Li Che never had any intention of inheriting that portion of the Mountain Sea Realm Li Che's legacy concerning Earthling characteristics and the Nine Tribulations Manual.

At least until Li Che achieved the rank of True God, casually exposing such characteristics was purely seeking death.

In summary, Li Che felt that the few things he could currently do were to buy a plot of land on Earth and periodically send some clansmen over in the future to bear children.

He didn't ask for descendants born with heaven-defying talent and aptitude; as long as there were a few with fine dispositions, Li Che would feel it wasn't a loss.

As a non-Earthling, Li Che did not want to get too deeply entangled with the Mountain Guest's lineage. That old fellow had numerous methods, and if he were truly noticed by him, trouble would definitely be in no short supply.

That being said, it seems my descendant plan should also be put on the agenda. Having children as a World Lord is no simple matter...

Murmuring to himself, Li Che left a spatial coordinate on a peninsula in the Eurasian continent of Earth, and then rose into the air once more, crossed outer space, and quickly returned to his spaceship.

"Sir, shall we set off for the Universe Galaxy Bank on Black Dragon Star now?"

Bai Yue's voice issued a reminder, prompting Li Che to take one final glance at Earth before nodding slightly.

The current situation dictated that Li Che and the Earth lineage would not have any overly deep-seated connections.

"Alright, re-confirming the navigation route; the spaceship is about to enter dark space..."

Amidst a virtually imperceptible, slight tremor, Li Che watched Earth in the distance completely vanish from his line of sight, and could not help letting out a soft sigh.

At the same time, he retrieved a glowing life fruit from his World Ring and took a bite out of it like an apple.

The surging life force attached to the life fruit was akin to a torrent, but this life force—which could easily allow an ordinary World Lord to go from the brink of death to full health—merged into Li Che's body like mud sinking into the sea.

What the current Li Che needed to accomplish was not just the gene evolution of his original body from 1x to 10x, but also the gene-level synchronization and evolution of all clones in the Infinite Land.

To fill this consumption, the life fruit was undoubtedly an exceptionally excellent choice.

"Bai Yue, search the market conditions for life fruits within the territory of the Ganwu Universe Country," he instructed thusly.

"Understood. According to the information from the Ganwu Primary Auctions held over the recent hundred sessions, the bidding price for life fruits is stable at around 2.5 to 3.5 Hunyuan Units. If purchased through channels like the Rare Treasures Pavilion, the price might be around 3.0 to 5.0 Hunyuan Units."

After a brief silence, Bai Yue provided her analysis.

Life fruits were undisputed hard currency within the World Lord tier. Any World Lord with formidable strength and sufficient assets was very willing to store one or two as trump cards and life-saving items.

"Not expensive at all." Li Che completely ignored that minute price fluctuation.

In his view, life fruits were the best supplements used to evolve his many "legacy clones" in the Infinite Land. The abundant and relatively mild life force within them could allow all of Li Che's clones to reach the tenfold gene level at the fastest possible speed.

By that time, the addition of all tenfold gene-level "legacies" onto his original body would be able to instantly superimpose Li Che's original body's gene level to a hundredfold standard.

When that happened, Li Che's combat power itself, as well as his comprehension and law affinity, would all reach a terrifying height.

Li Che could be certain that with such a terrifying augmentation, his efficiency-whether comprehending laws or self-creating secret techniques-would become completely beyond imagination.
