Luo Feng's Astonishment

At that moment, Luo Feng's consciousness and body underwent a qualitative transformation at the same time. He could clearly "see" every cell inside his body, see Genetic Origin Energy flowing through them, and see Spiritual Force shining in the depths of his soul.

Planetary Level!

He had finally crossed the true threshold of the universe's cultivation system!

Just then, a gentle yet immense power descended from the void and poured into his body. It did not change his cultivation, but instead acted like an "imprint," branding itself deep into his soul.

What Luo Feng did not know was that this was a divine will imprint left by his teacher, Qin Yuan. The instant Luo Feng broke through, the imprint activated and conveyed the news of his breakthrough to Qin Yuan.

Meanwhile, far away in the abandoned warehouse, Qin Yuan's eyes snapped open.

[Ding-detected disciple 'Luo Feng' completing his first breakthrough in realm!]

[Breakthrough details: Apprentice Level → Planetary Level First Stage]

[Master-Disciple Cashback System triggered!]

[Cashback multiplier: 3× (current bond level bonus)]

[Cashback contents: Law Comprehension from Luo Feng's breakthrough ×3, Genetic Origin Energy purity ×3, soul strength increase ×3]

[Receive?]

A smile curved Qin Yuan's lips.

"Receive."

A vast surge of pure energy poured into his divine body. Although the energy contained in a Planetary Level breakthrough was negligible to him as a Universe Master, the key was its quality!

Luo Feng was the protagonist of the original story, after all. His Genetic Origin Energy purity and soul strength far surpassed others at the same stage. Even at Planetary Level, the quality of this comprehension was astonishing.

What was more, there was triple cashback!

Qin Yuan closed his eyes and carefully contemplated the mysteries within the cashback energy.

Luo Feng cultivated the "Fallen Star Technique." Although it was only a basic cultivation technique, he had incorporated his own understanding into it during his cultivation, carving out a unique path. Amplified threefold, that unique comprehension entered Qin Yuan's consciousness and gave him a new understanding of the basic applications of Genetic Origin Energy!

"As expected of the protagonist..." Qin Yuan murmured. "A mere breakthrough to Planetary Level can give me new insights. When he breaks through to Star Level and Universe Level, just how terrifying will the comprehension from the cashback be?"

He opened the master-disciple interface:

[Disciple: Luo Feng]

[Current realm: Planetary Level First Stage]

[Gene Level: 10×]

[Law Comprehension: none]

[Spiritual Force: Planetary Level First Stage]

[Master-Disciple Bond: level 3 (respect)]

[Total cashback: 1 time]

[Host's cashback record:]

· 1st cashback (Luo Feng's breakthrough to Planetary Level): Law Comprehension +3 portions, Genetic Origin Energy comprehension +3 portions, slight increase in soul strength

"System, what's my current Gene Level?"

[Host's current Gene Level: 1100×]

(Initial 1000× + 100× first disciple reward)

"1100 times..." Qin Yuan mused.

That figure could only be considered middling among Universe Masters. Truly peak Universe Masters all had Gene Levels above 3000 times, and beings like the Chaos City Lord had Gene Levels approaching 10,000 times.

His current strength probably ranked in the upper middle among Universe Masters. Combined with his mastery of the Time Law and Space Law, he should be able to contend with some veteran Universe Masters, but against the truly top-tier existences, he still wouldn't measure up.

He had to keep raising his Gene Level!

"System, what are some ways to raise my Gene Level quickly?"

[Main methods of raising Gene Level:]

1. Wait for a disciple to break through a major realm and trigger master-disciple cashback (chance of obtaining a Gene Level increase)

2. Complete system missions and obtain Gene Level Upgrade Cards

3. Cultivate a Divine Power Path technique and gradually temper genes

4. Consume gene evolution potions (ineffective at Universe Master Level)

5. Fuse with Supreme Treasures (some Supreme Treasures can raise Gene Level)

[Currently available missions:]

· [Main mission: Rising to Fame] Kill at least three alien Universe Masters on the Primal Star to prove your strength. Rewards: Gene Level Upgrade Card (1000×) ×1, System Points ×5000, random Peak Supreme Treasure ×1

· [Side mission: A Great Teacher Produces a Fine Disciple] Guide Luo Feng to a breakthrough to Star Level. Rewards: Gene Level Upgrade Card (500×) ×1, System Points ×2000, "Ultimate Secret Technique Comprehension Card" ×1

Qin Yuan's gaze settled on the side mission.

Guiding Luo Feng to a breakthrough to Star Level was not a mission he could complete anytime soon. Luo Feng had only just broken through to Planetary Level. Even with his talent, breaking through to Star Level would take at least several months, or perhaps more than a year.

The main mission, on the other hand-killing three alien Universe Masters on the Primal Star-was something he could prepare for in advance.

The Primal Star would soon open. The Chaos City Lord had already arranged for him to go with Lord Peng Gong, the Lord of Darkness, and the others. It was an excellent opportunity: not only could he complete the mission and obtain the rewards, he could also collect all sorts of treasures and resources on the Primal Star.

"System, when exactly will the Primal Star open?"

[Primal Star opening countdown: 37 days, 12 hours.]

[The host is advised to increase his strength as much as possible in the time remaining to prepare for the journey to the Primal Star.]

Thirty-seven days.

Qin Yuan stood up, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Thirty-seven days was enough time for him to do a great many things.

First, he could incorporate his comprehension of the "Fallen Star Technique" into his own combat system. The basic comprehension of Genetic Origin Energy he had received from Luo Feng's cashback was simple, but its strength lay in its purity and solidity. Incorporating it into the application of Universe Master-level power might produce unexpected results.

Second, he could continue using the "Law Comprehension Acceleration" function in the system shop to deepen his understanding of the Time Law and Space Law. The two higher laws were his greatest trump cards for fighting above his level, and he had to improve them as much as possible.

Finally, he needed to visit the Virtual Universe to learn the human race's upper echelon's specific arrangements for the journey to the Primal Star, as well as gather intelligence on the alien experts he might encounter.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you need not fear a hundred battles.

As for Luo Feng, I'll let him cultivate on his own for the next while, Qin Yuan calculated. The journey from Planetary Level to Star Level is a long process of accumulation. It can't be rushed. It won't be too late to take him to the Outer Domain Battlefield for training after I return from the Primal Star.

He sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and began digesting the comprehension from Luo Feng's cashback.

Silence fell over the warehouse once more, broken only by a faint golden light flowing slowly around Qin Yuan.
