Li Jing bid farewell to the Ganwu Country Lord, escorted by his subordinate, the Peak King Rank Immortal Servant, Glory King.

They traveled towards Earth at nearly 60 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe aboard F9-Class Spaceship named Dawn.

The Virtual Universe, inside the property Luo Feng purchased.

Luo Feng's family, his brother-in-law Xu Gang's family, and Hong and Thunder God were all gathered here.

Celebrating Luo Feng and Hong's successful passage through the preliminary rounds, making them the figures who stir up trouble throughout the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.

On the screen next to the dining table, promotional videos of outstanding players from the 100 World Zone of the Ganwu Universe Country were playing.

At this moment, Xu Xin said casually, "Ah Feng, it's quite a coincidence, the first place winner of the 79th World Zone in this Genius Battle preliminary round is also named Li Jing, exactly the same name as the genius you mentioned to us before, it's just a pity he's not from our Earth."

Thunder God then added, "Big brother, Sanzi, when I was eliminated, I also saw Li Jing's points and ranking. It's just insane."

"The second and tenth ranked players in their World Zone combined are only slightly more than half of his ability. How many people must he have killed?"

"Compared to you, Sanzi, he's more deserving of the nickname 'madman.'"

"However, my sister-in-law and I have the opposite idea. Although it seems unbelievable, my intuition tells me that Li Jing, who is ranked number one in the 79th World Zone, might be the one we know."

"It's a pity that the official Virtual Universe team hasn't released any promotional videos for him yet. I guess his performance was too exaggerated, so they're saving it for last. Otherwise, we could verify whether my guess is correct."

Li Jing?

Upon receiving this news, Luo Feng and Hong Gang's expressions changed.

In Babata's and the others' minds, Li Jing had just stepped out of Earth and into space when he died young.

He's still alive?

And he grew rapidly, surpassing any of the three, and directly broke into the World Zone in the Genius Battle qualifiers?

Keep in mind, they had Babata personally guiding them!

How exactly did Li Jing manage to do that?

Or is that number one player in the World Zone really the Li Jing they know?

Just then, on the screen next to the dining table, a promotional video featuring star players from the preliminary rounds of the Ganwu Universe Country's Genius Battle came to an end.

Everyone knew the answer was hidden in the video, and they all turned their gazes toward it, staring intently at the screen.

In the video, a young man with a rugged face and features indistinguishable from those of Huaxia person on Earth is seen riding a Spiritual Force weapon, rampaging through the icy plains of World Zone 79 as if he were unstoppable amidst a vast army.

Wherever they went, corpses littered the fields, and almost nothing grew.

Every genius targeted by his hawk-like eyes was, without exception, brutally Soul Annihilation.

The scene wasn't bloody, but it sent chills down your spine.

Everyone asked themselves, how would they react if they faced such a simple glance?

Behind the brief chill lay unparalleled shock.

It really was Li Jing, the one they knew!

And it's so terrifying!

Those who saw this video felt as if they had been struck hard by a heavy hammer.

Now I finally understand why Li Jing from World Zone 79 is the undisputed number one in points, and even the number one in the other 99 World Zone is far inferior to him.

The speed at which they hunt and cut grass is something most people simply cannot match.

If Li Jing hadn't accumulated enough points and gotten tired of the game, he would have stayed in the center of the ice field to cultivate.

The final ranking points could potentially increase several times over.

Babata was now screaming like a madwoman!

It hadn't expected that Li Jing's talent in the Soul Path was so strong, a perfect match for the secret Soul Seal of the Yunmo Star Lineage.

If I had known this would happen, even if I had let Luo Feng be the villain to force Li Jing to join the Yunmo Star Lineage, I would have done it to carry forward the General Soul Imprint inheritance.

At this moment, all it wanted was to travel back in time and slap itself and Luo Feng twice.

Why did they give up after Li Jing refused?

Such a perfect successor was missed. If the eldest brother were still alive, who knows how angry he would be!

"Luo Feng, it's all your fault back then. Otherwise, our Yunmo Star Lineage wouldn't have been able to take in such a peerless genius."

"I don't care, just find a way to get Li Jing into the Babata Yunmo Star Lineage, okay? I'm begging you."

Babata floated up to Luo Feng and said with a look of grief and indignation.

Luo Feng felt a little guilty under Babata.

Back then, it was he who comforted Babata, saying that after Li Jing encountered setbacks in the universe, he would naturally understand the preciousness of the Yunmo Star Lineage and would obediently come back.

As it turns out, the script didn't go as he expected at all.

From this perspective, he really did let Babata down a bit.

However, once it's missed, it's missed; getting Li Jing to join again will be extremely difficult.

He himself had also cultivated Soul Seal, and he felt that even if he cultivated General Soul Imprints to perfection at the Star Level, he could never achieve the exaggerated performance of Li Jing in the video.

In other words, Li Jing cultivates a soul-based secret technique that is far more powerful than the Soul Seal.

The Soul Seal is already the most valuable item the Yunmo Star Lineage has to offer; what other price could they possibly set to entice Li Jing to join them?

Babata was aware of this, but he just couldn't accept it for the time being.

After saying that, he went off to play a virtual game to vent his emotions, leaving Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God looking at each other with mixed feelings.

They were shocked by Li Jing's powerful performance and extraordinary talent.

They were excited that, besides them, a more powerful leader and pillar had emerged on Earth Lineage.

I'm worried that after Li Jing leaves Earth, he might still remember our home planet, Earth, and whether he still has any Earth Human Lineage in his heart.

Especially since we haven't had any contact with them for so long, not even in the Virtual Universe.

Feeling ashamed that he had previously relied on the legacy of the Yunmo Star Lineage and Babata's special training, he thought his progress speed could surpass Li Jing, Earth's number one genius. He even thought that if they had the chance to meet, he might be able to outdo Li Jing.

In hindsight, they were overthinking things!

After a long while, Luo Feng shook his head. "Big brother, second brother, let's not think about it so much."

"If Li Jing wants to meet with us, if he still cares about Earth, he will come back sooner or later; if not, no matter how much we think about it, it will be of no use."

"We just need to do our best. The sky over the earth will stay up because of the three of us brothers!"

"Yes, who cares about Li Jing or Zhang Jing? Just doing our best is enough!"

"Earth survived the Devouring Beast crisis when things were so desperate. Now that the situation is gradually improving, how can we still be timid and hesitant?" Thunder God, the most carefree of them all, chimed in.

"Third brother, you're right." Hong's expression returned to calm. "My mental cultivation is still lacking; I'm easily influenced by external things. When I have time, I need to read more of the classics."
