Who Will Take Possession?

After Chen Yi heard the news, he immediately asked Babata, "Did you get a photo? Does it match the written description in the information Senior Yun gave us?"

Babata promptly sent over a video.

Chen Yi opened it at once and saw a streak of golden light pierce the atmosphere and plunge into the sea.

He slowed the video down.

At last, he got a clear look at the egg.

It was an enormous oval egg about twelve meters in diameter, with golden secret patterns on its black shell.

Everything matched the Golden Horned Beast's egg!

"That's it!"

Chen Yi's heart settled.

In Luo Feng's mission, "resolve the Golden Horned Beast calamity" was a five-star objective that would allow him to lock in two items for extraction.

And completing four- and five-star objectives also awarded Universal Points.

A five-star objective had to award more Universal Points than a four-star one, right?

What should I choose for the two locked extractions? Chen Yi pondered as he left his room.

After telling his parents, he departed in his fighter jet.

In the Chen family, his parents had both become Wargods with his help. Given their previous levels, a dose of Dragon Blood was basically all each of them needed. Now that the Military also had several more Councilor Level experts, assignments in the various military regions were no longer as busy.

Even Chen Weilong, that workaholic, had much more time off now.

Watching their son head out,

neither Chen Weilong nor Xu Caiyun tried to stop him. Their second son was far more accomplished than their eldest now. They could not understand what he was doing at all, much less did they need to tell him how to do it.

After all...

Their son and Luo Feng were now the two strongest martial artists of the new generation on Earth.

After the transaction half a year ago,

Hong and Thunder God had come to understand Luo Feng's strength, since they were all members of Meteorite Ink Star. Afterward, Hong had used the blood of ten thousand beasts to break through to Planetary Seventh Rank.

Thunder God had also relied on the Yunmo Star Inheritance to master a "domain" earlier than in the original story, and the two had come to spar with Chen Yi.

But Chen Yi had already reached Planetary Eighth Rank by then. With the Sky-Escaping Shuttle's second stage and his domain, he had defeated Hong with ease.

As a result, Hong and Thunder God had both publicly acknowledged

that they were no longer a match for the two young geniuses, Chen Yi and Luo Feng.

Chen Yi and Luo Feng were the newly crowned strongest experts on Earth.

The outside world did not know which of the two new strongest experts was stronger. It knew only that they were good friends and were on good terms with Hong and Thunder God, the previous two strongest experts on Earth.

Over the past six months,

Chen Yi had done only one major thing: he had Babata gather evidence of the crimes committed by certain experts on Earth and submit the evidence against "Li Yao's family of three," "Yan Hai," "Sago," "Councilor Vino," and others to the War God Palace.

Based on what they had done, he requested that the War God Palace execute them.

Without a doubt,

the War God Palace approved the order.

Aside from that,

Chen Yi kept a fairly low profile. He spent most of his time cultivating and did not deliberately appear online or before the media. But in a world where martial strength reigned supreme, as long as one was strong enough, no one would dare look down on or ignore them, no matter how low a profile they kept.

He did not need to build any faction or hold any position.

His status would naturally be there for all to see.

Over the past six months, several Councilors had emerged in Huaxia thanks to the blood of ten thousand beasts. Whenever their promotions were celebrated, they would always mention their gratitude to Chen Yi for his help.

They would also visit Chen Yi at his home.

Even though Chen Yi was only a young martial artist, and had been a senior high school student just a year ago, that did not affect his status.

This was the truth of this universe, and indeed of the myriad worlds.

Huaxia's status had risen with the tide after producing several Councilor Level experts. Moreover, among the top combatants, Chen Yi, Luo Feng, and Hong-the three strongest experts on Earth-were all from Huaxia.

Thunder God, the fourth strongest on Earth, also had deep ties to Huaxia.

Even though they were all independent martial artists,

Huaxia was still the strongest nation on Earth, its position unshakable.

Jiangnan Base City.

Luo Feng bid farewell to the pregnant Xu Xin, and his fighter jet rose from the Mingyue Residential Area, heading for the area Babata had mentioned.

They had married two months ago, mainly because after the Xu Family learned that he and Xu Xin were dating, they had spent every day arranging all kinds of meetings for them... treating Xu Xin's marriage as a major family affair.

They could hardly wait to marry Xu Xin off.

Faced with this situation,

Luo Feng and Xu Xin were helpless and had no choice but to marry early. Not long after the wedding, she had even become pregnant.

Two fighter jets hovered above the sea.

Chen Yi and Luo Feng each flew out of their jets, exchanged a glance, and dove beneath the sea...

Deep on the seabed,

a giant egg twelve meters in diameter stood there.

Chen Yi stood on the seabed and looked up... The golden secret patterns on the egg flickered bit by bit.

Apart from a few King-level sea beasts, a twelve-meter-diameter egg was a colossal presence on the seabed, like a small building.

Babata shouted over the communications channel:

"Chen Yi, Luo Feng, this egg might really be a Golden Horned Beast's egg! My previous master and I once saw a similar Starry Sky Behemoth at an auction. That one had a relatively low bloodline."

"Even so, it sold for an astronomical price!"

"This is an enormous opportunity!"

Now that Babata had seen the egg, he no longer knew what to say. Could that mysterious Lord Yun really predict the future?

If he had not predicted the future,

the only explanation was that he had staged the whole thing himself, deliberately dropping a Golden Horned Beast's egg onto Earth.

But even if that really was the case,

it still showed that Lord Yun was definitely far stronger than his master, Hu Yanbo... A Golden Horned Beast's egg was not something an ordinary person could produce.

Over the communications channel, Chen Yi spoke under his Senior Yun identity:

"It seems my prediction was correct. This egg really did land on Earth. In that case... Luo Feng, I'll give you an 'egg incubator' in a moment to speed up the Golden Horned Beast's development. It can make the egg hatch a little faster."

"Once his body can bear your current soul consciousness, you can begin taking possession."

"Take possession? Me? What about Chen Yi?"

Luo Feng had seen the information on the Golden Horned Beast in the mission details. It recorded that the Golden Horned Beast had Clones, numerous Innate Secret Techniques and abilities, and inherited memories.

Taking possession of the Golden Horned Beast

could be called a heaven-sent opportunity.

But... Chen Yi had also learned the possession secret technique. If someone was going to take possession, Chen Yi could do it too.

"I can observe parts of the future. Across two different timelines, it's better for both of you if you, Luo Feng, take possession of the Golden Horned Beast. That is my advice. You can discuss it yourselves. Who will take possession?" Senior Yun's voice rang out through the communications system.

Chen Yi switched back to his own identity and immediately added,

"Luo Feng, since Senior Yun says it's better for you to take possession, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Once you've grown stronger, you can always catch another Golden Horned Beast for me!"

"Let's take the Golden Horned Beast's egg ashore first..."

Seeing that Chen Yi had no objection and was simply yielding the Golden Horned Beast to him, and that Senior Yun had also said it really was better for him to take possession, Luo Feng naturally saw no need to keep politely refusing.

He took out a net Babata had made, enclosed the Golden Horned Beast's egg completely, and swam toward shore.

Chen Yi swam up with him.

He had no intention of taking possession of the Golden Horned Beast.

Leaving aside the fact that he had read the original story and did not want to snatch Luo Feng's original opportunity, taking possession of the Golden Horned Beast was not worthwhile purely in terms of maximizing his gains.

Once the Golden Horned Beast calamity was resolved, Luo Feng would have completed the five-star objective, giving Chen Yi two locked extraction opportunities.

There were not many things Luo Feng currently possessed that Chen Yi particularly needed to extract.

The Yunmo Star Ship was valuable, but there was no rush to extract it now... The only thing worth extracting was the talent Luo Feng would gain after taking possession of the Golden Horned Beast.

As for the Clone Talent,

it had only three slots. After taking possession, one would still need an Earthling identity. Earth had been engineered, so an Earthling's body was still very important. Moreover, the vast majority of the information Chen Yi knew concerned the human race. Even if he gave up his Earthling body, he would surely still be active among humans.

One of the Clones would have to be human.

So... why snatch Luo Feng's opportunity? He could simply let Luo Feng take possession of the Golden Horned Beast, then obtain the Clone Talent.

Chen Yi's original body was already an Earthling, so he could have three more Clones!

He did not need a Golden Horned Beast Clone... At its core, a Golden Horned Beast's special trait was that it could grow stronger by devouring metal, and it could only reach World Lord Level. Beyond that, it had tenfold genes, but that did not make it a truly formidable Clone in the universe.

It was not as good as an extra Clone slot.

They landed on a small island, and Luo Feng set down the Golden Horned Beast's egg.

Chen Yi then used the Cloud Raising Mirror.

Acting as Senior Yun, he spent more than two thousand ordinary points to create a "Golden Horned Beast Incubator" and stuffed the Golden Horned Beast's egg inside, hoping to speed up its development a little.

Under normal circumstances, they would have had to wait a long time for the Golden Horned Beast to hatch.

But now, it would take only a little over half a month.

Time... flew by.

The giant egg trembled nonstop...
