FunTranscript
00:00Six of the most powerful beings in the world of Jin could see every move he made,
00:04and not one of them could see what he was.
00:07High above Nine Smoke Marsh, six true gods of void space,
00:11some from Xuanyu Mountain and some from the marsh itself,
00:16looked down and sighed together.
00:18So that's how he got away.
00:20They had worked it out.
00:22The soldier carried a lawmaster strange beast,
00:25which explained why neither his teammates, nor the fifty true gods sent after,
00:30him could find him, he must be able to leave the marsh.
00:33And his boat, one of them added, was surely a true god-level machine type valuable of the top tier.
00:39A mere lawmaster shouldn't have been able to claim such a thing,
00:42so the army must think highly of him.
00:45They were right about nearly everything and wrong about the only part that mattered.
00:49They never guessed that the talented soldier and the golden-horned beast were two bodies of one great being.
00:55That blind spot wasn't stupidity.
00:57It was the world itself.
00:58Creatures in the world of Jin don't have multiple bodies,
01:02so nobody even considers the possibility.
01:04And the beast, a different race from humans,
01:07carried a different aura that no true god could link to him.
01:10The six saw everything on that battlefield, yet they would not touch it.
01:14Nobody provokes the hidden rules of the world of Jin,
01:17and that restraint was the real shield around Luofeng.
01:21Below them, the hunters were going mad.
01:23The war had dragged on for months, and the captain, hiding in Xuanyu Mountain's tribal army,
01:29raged at his warriors.
01:32Lawmasters gather on only a few battlefields, so the new soldier had nowhere to run.
01:37Yet the answer came again and again over their tokens.
01:40We've searched everywhere.
01:42Captain, we can't find him.
01:44The captain had a private reason for his fury.
01:47He had watched Luofeng kill a beast, true god, with his own eyes.
01:51So he knew exactly what kind of man he was chasing.
01:55He had once meant to befriend him, and had attacked instead out of hunger for credits.
02:00He could excuse that first failure since he hadn't expected a machine-type ship.
02:04But half a year had passed with nothing.
02:06Find him unless you want to die.
02:09He's our only hope of finishing the task.
02:12So he made a move.
02:13That gave away his advantage.
02:15He messaged Yulo and Kufa as well, and told them that the new soldier had snatched the body of
02:21the Nine-Smoke Marsh, true god who collected the fallen.
02:25That he now held more than thirty true god bodies, and that he was hiding somewhere in the marsh.
02:30Everyone but Luofeng was stunned.
02:32Thirty bodies, and he'd survived?
02:35Believe it or not, the captain said.
02:37He's very good at hiding.
02:39That was all he offered.
02:40He trusted the army's threat to drive the others to search.
02:44And privately, he dismissed them.
02:46Yulo and Kufa didn't stand a chance against.
02:48Milky Way.
02:50The most they could do was help him find the man.
02:52Why share a prize he wanted for himself?
02:55Because every squad was already living on the edge, and the arithmetic explains it.
02:59Each soldier needs ten thousand credits to finish the task.
03:04Yulo's team counted around twenty thousand weapons and armors, which guaranteed only two
03:08of them would finish.
03:09The fighting between the two powers was easing, so the chance might soon vanish, and his beast
03:15soldier's eyes gleamed with a desperation born of fear of death.
03:19Kufa's squad with Zhuanyu Mountain held a little over thirty thousand.
03:23Far from enough, and without the war, they couldn't hope to scavenge another thousand.
03:28Gentle and humble though she was, Kufa, too, reached for the last chance.
03:33The message hit Wu he hardest.
03:35Over thirty bodies from Milky Way?
03:37He'd been collecting credits for ages, and was still far from ten thousand.
03:41He didn't want to believe it.
03:42But the captain had no reason to invent something so absurd, and regret flooded him.
03:48If I had stayed with him, I could have taken five or six of those thirty.
03:52All of them searched, and all of them failed.
03:55It seemed the man had already left the marsh.
03:58But Luo Feng hadn't left.
03:59He lay in the strange beast army as golden-horned beast.
04:04Half his body sunk in the swamp.
04:06Watching soldiers pass in the distance and spotting Wu he twice.
04:09Everyone's looking for me?
04:11Do everything you can.
04:13You won't find me.
04:15Both armies were exhausted from their losses,
04:18and strange beasts and tribal warriors were retreating in numbers.
04:22Then Wu he's voice reached him.
04:24Milky Way!
04:25It's me!
04:26Had he gathered enough credits?
04:27No, he admitted.
04:29Ten thousand was hard, but he had news.
04:32The captain Kufa and Yu Lo were all hunting for the bodies,
04:35and they were shutting him out because they assumed he was with Luo Feng.
04:41We joined together.
04:43We're both new soldiers.
04:44I only want one body, and I'll trade for it.
04:47I'll give you a true god armor.
04:49Luo Feng asked where?
04:50In the marsh.
04:51Wu he understood at once that this man would never reveal his position,
04:55and offered a safer place.
04:57Let's trade back at the camp.
04:59A smart man, Luo Feng thought.
05:00As the child of Northern True Ocean's master, Wu he might actually own fine things.
05:06Give me enough valuables or no deal.
05:09Wu he sighed with relief.
05:11He'd feared Luo Feng would stop talking to him.
05:14Luo Feng already had a plan.
05:16He would see how many valuables ten thousand credits could buy,
05:20then demand more from Wu hei.
05:22For Luo Feng, it was a modest sum.
05:24For Wu hei, it was a chance to stay alive.
05:26Because if the army decided to execute him, not even his father would dare stop it.
05:32A body's price isn't set by its worth to the seller,
05:34but by how desperately the buyer needs to live.
05:38A few days later, Kufa contacted him too.
05:40But she lacked the valuables and the talk soured.
05:43Do you think I'm a fool?
05:45Luo Feng said.
05:46A trade outside the camp?
05:48Then die.
05:49He cut her off.
05:51And in his own mind, he was being charitable.
05:53Wu hei had chosen the camp and Kufa had chosen the open wilds.
05:57And where each wanted to trade, showed whether they came to bargain or to ambush.
06:02The war lasted a full year.
06:04One by one, true gods of void space appeared.
06:07Xuanyu Mountain's army withdrew.
06:09And the marsh returned to normal.
06:11The soldiers who had been posing as tribal warriors,
06:15crouched at the edge and watched.
06:17The army leave.
06:18Without the war, they had lost their last source of plunder.
06:21And the arithmetic had turned against them.
06:24Yulo's beast soldiers grew feral.
06:26Seize them!
06:27The captain and Kufa must have plenty of credits.
06:30Take theirs and we'll have a chance to live.
06:33Kufa roared the same.
06:35The captain told his own followers,
06:37This is our only chance to survive.
06:40Every squad chose to fight for credits.
06:42And with three teams leaving separately,
06:45there was bound to be fighting even within each squad.
06:48The fear that had united them against Luofeng
06:50had become a reason to devour each other.
06:53At the marsh's edge,
06:54a golden-horned beast spoke with three strange beast lawmasters.
06:59Friends it had made during the war.
07:01And then they parted ways.
07:02Time to head back to the A-camp.
07:05Luofeng turned for one.
07:06Last look at the endless marsh wrapped in mist.
07:09He didn't care about the fate of
07:11the soldiers from the Python River Army.
07:14He carried a great many military credits.
07:16The golden-horned beast vanished.
07:19Everyone had hunted a man.
07:20Nobody had hunted the one thing no one could imagine.
07:23His strongest weapon wasn't the boat or the blade.
07:26It was that nobody in this world could picture
07:28one being in two places at once.
07:31Luofeng came out of Nine's Smoke Marsh,
07:33carrying a fortune and walked,
07:35straight into an army that
07:37was still watching the wrong door.
07:39He raced toward the East Army's camp,
07:41and Wu He,
07:42who had slipped out of the marsh in secret,
07:44was racing there, too.
07:46Behind them,
07:47the three squads of the Captain Kufa,
07:50and Yu Luo were still trapped in the marsh
07:52with their tasks unfinished.
07:54Only the Captain had managed to take a true god's body.
07:57Kufa's and Yu Luo's warriors
07:59still hadn't gathered enough credits,
08:01and the choices facing them were all bleak.
08:04Fight one another.
08:05Keep hunting,
08:06or wait and feed on whatever others managed to kill.
08:09Every one of them would give it everything.
08:11But it was already fated that a single,
08:14catastrophe-level mission would annihilate many of them.
08:17While Luofeng walked toward safety,
08:20they were still counting what they had left.
08:22Finally, I'm here,
08:23Luofeng said,
08:24appearing in midair.
08:26Ahead stretched the vast,
08:28boundless camp,
08:29and below him,
08:30a long queue of tribal warriors and beasts
08:33waiting to join the army.
08:34A faint smile crossed his face.
08:36Then he flew in.
08:37Around the camp's edge,
08:39wormholes in twisting space
08:41kept disgorging warriors,
08:43moment after moment,
08:44back from their tasks.
08:45Some were relaxed.
08:47This one was easy.
08:48We'll finish quickly
08:49and enjoy a whole era of free time.
08:52Others were grim.
08:53Our next mission is incarnation level.
08:56Who knows how many of us will make it.
08:58I hope we earn more credits this time
09:00and buy a few more treasures,
09:01at the military point,
09:03so we can survive it.
09:05Relaxed or worried,
09:06the stream never stopped
09:08because the East Army
09:10is simply too big
09:11for any single arrival
09:12to be noticed.
09:13That crowd was exactly
09:14where someone was hiding.
09:15On a branch of an aged,
09:17sturdy tree in the distance
09:18sat a warrior,
09:19in silver armor,
09:21who looked like an
09:21ordinary lawmaster.
09:23He wasn't one.
09:24He had joined the army
09:26on the orders of his ancestor,
09:27and since entering,
09:29he hadn't carried out
09:30a single task.
09:31All he did was wait and watch,
09:32and in all that time,
09:34he had never once laid eyes
09:36on Milky Way Horde Leader.
09:37He was nervous,
09:39and the watchfulness
09:39never left him.
09:41Privately,
09:41he found the whole assignment
09:43baffling.
09:44So what if Milky Way Horde Leader
09:45was formidable?
09:46Even if he had
09:47transcended reincarnation,
09:49he would only have added
09:50another holy land
09:51to universe ocean,
09:53and a holy land,
09:54once established,
09:55is eternal.
09:56His own purple moon,
09:57holy land,
09:58feared no great being.
09:59Why would ancestor
10:00take this man so seriously
10:02that he had to be
10:03tracked even into
10:04the world of jinn?
10:05He sighed.
10:06He didn't understand.
10:08But an order was an order,
10:09and he did not dare defy it.
10:11A man who cannot explain
10:13his orders
10:13still carries them out.
10:15And that is how
10:16a hidden hand
10:16reaches into a place
10:17like this,
10:18far away,
10:19in the mysterious,
10:21unfathomable depths
10:22of universe ocean.
10:23The source of that order
10:24was losing patience.
10:25In purple moon,
10:26holy land,
10:27one of the two
10:28great holy land universes,
10:30purple moon ancestor
10:31demanded to know
10:32whether Luo Feng
10:33had been found.
10:34Two universe masters
10:35knelt in front of him,
10:36trembling.
10:37They had watched
10:38the boat of mausoleum
10:39enter the world of jinn
10:40and followed it in,
10:41one of them explained.
10:43Judging by the entry point,
10:45there was an 80 to 90 percent
10:47chance he would reach
10:48the East Army.
10:49So after joining it,
10:51he had been watching
10:51the exits of the wormholes,
10:53and he still hadn't seen
10:55Milky Way Horde leader.
10:56Perhaps he hasn't joined
10:57the army at all,
10:58ancestor.
10:59The ancestor's reply
11:00was cold.
11:02Luo Feng held the inheritance
11:03of the pulse
11:04of Duandong River,
11:05and even in the world of jinn,
11:07he would slip free of anything
11:09and make a name for himself.
11:10So the two of them
11:11were to keep watching
11:12the wormhole exits,
11:14and also to keep asking
11:15questions about him.
11:16The moment his reputation grew,
11:18finding him would become easy.
11:20It was a sound plan,
11:22built on an assumption
11:23that the man in question
11:24was not making.
11:25A reputation requires
11:26being seen,
11:27and Luo Feng had just spent
11:29a year making sure
11:30nobody saw him.
11:31The double-faced,
11:32four-armed universe master
11:33dared one question.
11:35What about their troops' mission?
11:36They would rotate,
11:38the ancestor said,
11:39indifferent.
11:40While one watched,
11:41the other would go
11:42on the mission.
11:43And when it was done,
11:45they would swap.
11:46Very few of Purple Moon's people
11:47had entered the world
11:48of jinn this time.
11:50But by the next era,
11:51many more universe masters
11:53would arrive,
11:54and the work would be easier.
11:55The two earnestly hoped
11:57the next era would come soon.
11:59When they had gone,
12:00the ancestor sat alone.
12:02Only a pair of eyes
12:03showed through a blurred face,
12:05and in them was a trace
12:06of feminine grace
12:07overwhelmed by murderous intent.
12:10I once thought
12:11it was impossible to kill you.
12:12But the world of jinn
12:14has come into being,
12:15and here the number of beings
12:17who could kill you,
12:18Luo Feng is far too great.
12:19Don't blame me.
12:21Blame yourself for receiving
12:22that inheritance
12:23of Duandong River.
12:24That murderous hope
12:25rested on a simple idea.
12:27The more dangerous the place,
12:29the more killers it offers.
12:30The warrior on the branch
12:31saw a threat
12:32he couldn't explain.
12:33The ancestor
12:34had already explained it,
12:35and decided it had to end.
12:37Meanwhile,
12:38in the virtual universe,
12:39on the peak of Thunder Island,
12:41Luo Feng sat across
12:42from Primal Chaos City leader.
12:44I've just finished a
12:46catastrophe-level mission
12:47and earned a substantial
12:49number of credits,
12:50he said.
12:50That should keep me safe
12:52for a long while,
12:53and I'll try to uncover
12:54the mysteries of the world
12:55of jinn as quickly as I can.
12:58His teacher nodded.
12:59As the first of the human race
13:01to enter,
13:01he carried the heaviest
13:02responsibility.
13:03Across universe ocean,
13:05from the Primal Universe
13:06to other,
13:08reincarnation eras
13:08to the two great,
13:09holy land universes,
13:11great beings were fixing
13:13their eyes on the world
13:14of jinn,
13:14because whoever entered first
13:16would get first-hand information,
13:18and that was irresistible.
13:20Luo Feng understood why.
13:21In universe ocean,
13:22great beings yearn
13:23to transcend reincarnation
13:25and to own
13:26a supreme true treasure.
13:27But the world of jinn
13:29is home to many
13:30true gods of void space,
13:31so a method must exist
13:33for a true god
13:34to break through
13:35to that level.
13:36And the so-called
13:37supreme true treasure
13:39is only a true god's
13:40standard armor,
13:41of which there are
13:42far too many.
13:43Magical automaton-type
13:45treasures exist there
13:46as well.
13:46The chance to transcend,
13:48to find supreme
13:49true treasures,
13:50and to gain automaton-type
13:52treasures made every
13:52power in universe.
13:54Ocean Lu's interest
13:55in the three most
13:56dangerous lands at once.
13:57The catch was that
13:58entry opened only
13:59once every era.
14:00The willpower of the origin
14:02came to me
14:03through ancestral god,
14:05Luo Feng said,
14:06smiling.
14:07I think it's best
14:08to stay here for now,
14:09the longer the better,
14:11and use the advantage
14:12of being in the world
14:13of Jyn.
14:13I've earned plenty
14:15of credits this time.
14:16I may be able to carry
14:17some supreme true treasures
14:18out, and after an era
14:20passes, I'll send some back.
14:22It wasn't caution
14:23that kept him there.
14:24It was appetite for
14:25everything this world
14:26could still give.
14:28His teacher was delighted.
14:29The world of Jyn
14:30was the most important
14:31battlefield,
14:32with every top power
14:34fighting over it.
14:35But the human territory
14:36in the primal universe
14:37was the root of humanity.
14:39Only by expanding
14:40that territory
14:41could human talent
14:42multiply and grate.
14:43Beings keep emerging,
14:45and only then could
14:46the human race
14:47rise to the level
14:48of the two Holy Land
14:49universes
14:50or even surpass them.
14:51I'll go to the military
14:53point first,
14:53Luo Feng said.
14:55There I can trade credits
14:56for inheritance
14:57and treasures
14:58and glimpse
14:59some of the
14:59deeper secrets
15:00of the world of
15:01Jyn.
15:02I'll share what I learn.
15:04His.
15:04Teacher agreed,
15:06but warned him
15:07not to take risks,
15:08because the world of Jyn
15:10was far more dangerous
15:11than Universe Ocean.
15:13Luo Feng nodded,
15:15wandering the world of Jyn
15:16as he did.
15:17He still spoke
15:18with his teacher regularly
15:19and tracked events
15:20in Universe Ocean,
15:21which was calm for now.
15:23Everyone was watching
15:25the world of Jyn.
15:26In the Python River
15:27Army's camp,
15:28Luo Feng and Wu He
15:29arrived almost
15:30at the same moment.
15:31Milky Way, Milky Way!
15:33Wu He scuttled up
15:34behind him,
15:35his neck wings flapping.
15:36I've prepared the treasure.
15:38You can trade me one now.
15:40Prepared it?
15:41Luo Feng looked at him
15:42mockingly.
15:43No rush.
15:44I'll go to the military
15:45point first,
15:46and when I'm back
15:47we'll talk.
15:48Wu He didn't want that.
15:49Once Luo Feng
15:50saw what treasures
15:50were worth,
15:51he would squeeze
15:52Wu He mercilessly.
15:53But he didn't dare argue,
15:55so he forced a smile
15:56onto his hideous face.
15:58Yes, yes.
15:59After the military point.
16:01Milky Way,
16:01don't forget to keep
16:02one for me.
16:03He was terrified
16:04that Luo Feng
16:05would turn
16:05every body into credits,
16:07because that would be
16:08a death sentence for him.
16:10Somewhere between
16:11the marsh and the camp,
16:12the two had traded places.
16:14The beast who had once
16:15abandoned his partner
16:16now begged for scraps,
16:18and the partner
16:19he'd called a fool
16:20held every card.
16:21Don't worry,
16:22Luo Feng said
16:23and left,
16:24feeling cheerful.
16:25The main hall lay far
16:26from the Python River
16:27Army's lake camp,
16:28but he strolled there
16:30like a man enjoying
16:31the scenery.
16:32At the doors of the
16:33towering ancient hall
16:35he reminded himself
16:36of the rules.
16:37A soldier could trade
16:38for treasures,
16:39only before accepting.
16:40A mission?
16:41Or after completing one?
16:43Arriving without a
16:44finished mission
16:44meant being refused entry.
16:46He stepped through the doors,
16:48and time and space shifted,
16:49as if he had entered
16:50another world.
16:52What secret technique
16:53is this?
16:54A boundless world
16:55opened before him,
16:56filled with warriors,
16:58each with a golden figure
16:59beside them.
17:00It was more magical
17:01than the virtual universe,
17:02he thought.
17:03A golden figure
17:04drifted over,
17:05wrapped so thoroughly
17:06in golden light
17:07that he couldn't
17:08make out its face.
17:09Warrior of the
17:10Python River Army,
17:12you are on a mission.
17:13You may not trade
17:14for items
17:14at the military point.
17:16My mission is complete,
17:17said Luo Feng.
17:19With one wave
17:19of his hand,
17:20he revealed
17:21the serpentine corpse
17:22of a huge beast-true god,
17:24nearly a million kilometers long.
17:26It appeared so suddenly
17:28that even the warriors
17:29far off gasped,
17:30and almost everyone
17:31in that hall
17:32was a lawmaster.
17:33The man who had spent
17:34a year making himself
17:35invisible
17:36had just become
17:37the loudest.
17:38Thing in the room.
17:40The corpse hit the ground
17:41like a falling mountain,
17:43and the ground answered
17:44with a shudder
17:45that ran through
17:46every soldier
17:47standing nearby.
17:48A tail longer
17:49than most cities
17:49swept across one of them,
17:51and the rest
17:51turned at once.
17:52When they saw
17:53what had landed,
17:54a strange beast-true god,
17:56nearly a million kilometers
17:58from nose to tail,
18:00the outcry
18:01went up together.
18:02Then the golden
18:03being's eyes opened,
18:05and light poured
18:06out of them,
18:06covering the body
18:07in a single sweep.
18:09A nod.
18:10This is indeed
18:11a true god
18:11from Nine Smoke Marsh.
18:13The task is finished.
18:14Ten thousand
18:15military credits awarded.
18:17Luo Feng blinked.
18:18One glance,
18:19and the being
18:19had known
18:20where the corpse
18:20came from.
18:21The military's grip
18:22on the world of Djinn
18:23was not a rumor.
18:24It was not even a claim.
18:26It was a fact
18:27made visible
18:27in the space of a breath.
18:29Name your requirement.
18:30The golden being
18:31turned to him.
18:32You can exchange
18:33these ten thousand
18:34military points
18:35for weapons,
18:36machines,
18:37inheritance,
18:38anything on the list.
18:40If you have
18:40other valuables,
18:41you can also give them
18:42to the military
18:43and get military credits.
18:45Here is the list.
18:46A light screen
18:47unfolded in front of him,
18:49dense with entries.
18:50Luo Feng skimmed it,
18:51and his eyes stopped
18:52where he had expected
18:53them to stop.
18:54I want the basic information
18:56about those above
18:57true gods.
18:58Basic information?
18:59The golden being
19:00did not react,
19:02which was its own
19:02kind of answer.
19:03There are only three pieces
19:05of material
19:05on that subject.
19:06Based on detail
19:07and level of secrecy,
19:09they require military credits
19:11equal to one hundred,
19:12five hundred,
19:13and three thousand,
19:14respectively.
19:15Three thousand
19:16for basic information.
19:18Not a training guide,
19:19not a technique,
19:20just knowledge.
19:22A catastrophe-level task
19:23paid ten thousand,
19:24and a single page
19:25of the highest tier
19:26cost nearly a third of it.
19:28Luo Feng could have gotten
19:29one or even two
19:30supreme true treasures
19:32from Wu.
19:33He for the corpse
19:33he had just handed over,
19:35maybe more.
19:36Instead,
19:36he was spending
19:37a fortune on words.
19:38He did not hesitate.
19:40I want the highest class.
19:42Three thousand?
19:43Military credits spent.
19:45The golden being's voice
19:46did not change.
19:48Soldier from Python River Army,
19:49you still have
19:50seven thousand military credits left,
19:52and you can only read
19:54the secret information here.
19:55Text flooded the screen.
19:57Only he could read it.
19:58No other soldier
19:59could see his words,
20:01and he could not see theirs.
20:03The screen was enormous.
20:04Each page held
20:05a hundred million words.
20:07The ladder of life
20:09in the world of Jyn
20:09had seven rungs,
20:11and the text
20:12laid them out plainly.
20:13At the bottom
20:14were the under-undying,
20:15born into the world
20:16and growing to undying
20:18as a matter of course.
20:19Some talents
20:20skipped even that
20:21and were born undying.
20:22Above them
20:23came undying fighters,
20:24then law knights,
20:25then law masters,
20:27and law masters
20:28split into two kinds,
20:30universe knights
20:31and universe masters.
20:32All of those rungs
20:33shared one nature.
20:34They were godly
20:35body life forms.
20:37Energy and life imprint
20:38were fused
20:38into a single substance.
20:40When godly power
20:42was spent,
20:42the life imprint
20:43was spent with it.
20:44Some races
20:45carried souls.
20:46Others,
20:46like rock beings,
20:47carried other cores.
20:49All of them
20:49carried life imprints.
20:50That fusion
20:51was their strength
20:52and their flaw.
20:53The more of the imprint
20:54consumed,
20:55the more the power
20:56tumbled,
20:57and the fall
20:58was brutal.
20:59Burn away
21:00half the godly body
21:01and the being
21:02lost ninety percent
21:03of its power.
21:04There was no gentle slope.
21:06There was a cliff.
21:07True gods
21:08were different.
21:09To become a true god
21:10was to return
21:11to the origin.
21:12Like a baby
21:12born again
21:13into its real life,
21:14flesh and blood beings
21:16became flesh and blood again.
21:18Metal beings
21:18became metal again,
21:19and their soul and body
21:21separated once more.
21:23The way domain,
21:24lords and sector lords
21:25had once lived
21:26before the godly body path
21:28had fused everything.
21:29From then on,
21:30the body was the energy.
21:32Every inch of it
21:32could burn,
21:33and the soul
21:34was no longer scattered
21:35through the flesh,
21:36but hidden in a single place.
21:38The heart of a true god,
21:39a mysterious space
21:41inside the body.
21:42That space
21:43was the soul's home,
21:44and it was also a bridge,
21:46a link to the miniature
21:47universe outside.
21:50Distance no longer mattered.
21:52Wherever a true god stood,
21:54he could pull the energies
21:55of his miniature universe
21:56through that bridge.
21:57Kill a true god then,
21:59and there were three doors.
22:01Destroy the body completely,
22:03and the mysterious space
22:04goes with it.
22:05Attack the soul directly,
22:07and the soul dies,
22:08or the common way,
22:10hit the body with more force
22:12than it can bear,
22:13and let the shock waves
22:14reach the heart again
22:16and again until it crumbles.
22:18The same logic as a man in armor
22:20struck in the chest by a hammer.
22:22The armor may hold,
22:23but the heart behind it does not.
22:26This was why a stronger body
22:28meant a safer heart.
22:29A body that could bear every blow
22:31kept its heart whole.
22:33Flesh, rock, plant,
22:34the rule held for all of them.
22:36Because once a being
22:37became a true god,
22:38soul and body
22:39were no longer
22:39the same argument.
22:40Burn all the energy you like.
22:42The soul is untouched.
22:44A true god's miniature universe
22:46was not created.
22:47It was transformed,
22:49converted from a god country,
22:50and from there
22:51the true god's task
22:53was comprehension.
22:54To understand the birth
22:55and operation of a universe
22:58until he could
22:58control a void space.
23:00One thought
23:01and a void space
23:02is formed.
23:03That is a true god
23:03of void space.
23:04Keep climbing,
23:05keep comprehending
23:06until the evolution
23:08of the entire universe
23:09reaches its limit.
23:11And then the same thought
23:12produces something larger.
23:14One thought
23:14and a universe is formed.
23:16That is an eternal true god.
23:18Luo Feng paused there.
23:19The miniature universe
23:20and eternal true god made
23:22was not like
23:23the one he had built
23:24through his inherited technique.
23:26I am the universe.
23:28His was far too simple.
23:29An eternal true god's
23:31was a battlefield.
23:32Small in scale
23:33but identical in nature
23:34to a true universe.
23:36An area of ten thousand
23:37square light years
23:38collapsing into its own world
23:40with the eternal true god
23:41as its master.
23:43Small, yes,
23:44but small is not weak.
23:45An eternal true god
23:47could suppress a true god
23:48of void space
23:49without effort.
23:50There were four
23:51eternal true gods
23:52in the world of Jyn.
23:54Four generals,
23:55one for each army.
23:57They managed the world
23:58and they stood above it.
23:59And a true god of void,
24:01space who broke through
24:02to eternal,
24:03could leave,
24:04walk out of the world
24:06of Jyn
24:07and fight for his majesty
24:08the godly.
24:09King,
24:09other soldiers had to be,
24:11summoned to go out.
24:13Eternal true gods
24:13did not need permission.
24:15Go out by themselves?
24:17Luo Feng's mind
24:18caught on it.
24:19If the godly king
24:20still lived,
24:21then his eternal true gods
24:22could leave
24:23and fight for him.
24:24But the giant,
24:25human-shaped creature
24:26had been found
24:27lying in universe.
24:29Ocean,
24:29the godly king,
24:31might already be dead.
24:32Then the text answered him
24:34before he finished the thought.
24:35His majesty,
24:36the godly king,
24:37had died.
24:38And according to the original mind,
24:40no life form in the world of Jyn
24:42could survive outside.
24:43Even a peerless talent
24:44who became an eternal true god
24:46might die
24:47the instant he stepped
24:48beyond the world's edge.
24:50Luo Feng let out a breath
24:51and kept reading.
24:52True gods of void space
24:54were overlords of regions.
24:56Eternal true gods
24:57were supreme,
24:58officials of a king
24:59who no longer breathed.
25:01But even within each rung
25:02there were differences.
25:04And the differences began
25:05with the miniature universe.
25:07When a being became a true god,
25:09his god country
25:10became a miniature universe.
25:11And its structure mattered.
25:13A true god's universe
25:14was a hundred million
25:15light years across.
25:16Once he became a true god
25:18of void space,
25:19the range spread wider.
25:21One billion at the smallest.
25:23Ten billion at the largest.
25:25With every value in between.
25:27Oh.
25:28Luo Feng's eyes moved.
25:29Purple moon Holy Land
25:31was 2.1 billion
25:33light years across.
25:34Eastern emperor Holy Land
25:36was 3.2 billion,
25:37which meant
25:38Eastern emperor ancestor
25:39and purple moon.
25:41Ancestor were both
25:42true gods of void space.
25:44He read on.
25:45The miniature universe
25:46was the foundation.
25:47It absorbed energies
25:49from outside and converted.
25:50Them into godly power
25:52that carried no life imprint.
25:54The source of everything.
25:56A true god could do
25:57without cost.
25:58And every breakthrough
25:59in a great being's,
26:00life happened only when
26:02the miniature universe
26:03transformed with it.
26:04True god to true god
26:06of void space.
26:07Void space to eternal.
26:08The universe changed first
26:10and the being followed,
26:12which was why
26:13when a great being died,
26:15the miniature universe
26:16crumbled with him.
26:17Destroy a miniature universe
26:19and the being
26:20could still live,
26:21could still draw energy
26:23from outside,
26:24but he could never
26:25break through again.
26:26No matter how deep
26:27his comprehension ran,
26:29the path was closed
26:30and miniature universes
26:32were very hard to destroy.
26:33Only a limit-level
26:34true god of void space
26:36could shatter
26:37a true god's universe.
26:38Only a limit-level
26:39eternal true god
26:40could shatter
26:41of void spaces.
26:42Nothing could shatter
26:43an eternal true god's
26:45miniature,
26:46but none of that mattered here.
26:47Every miniature universe
26:49in the world
26:49of Jyn was arranged
26:51at its center
26:52by his majesty
26:53the godly king,
26:54and no great being
26:55could reach them.
26:56The world of Jyn
26:58operated on a hierarchy
26:59of power
26:59that spanned
27:00three immense realms.
27:01True god,
27:03true god of void space,
27:04and finally the pinnacle,
27:06eternal true god.
27:07Each step upward
27:08was not a gentle slope,
27:10but a sheer cliff.
27:11The difficulty multiplying
27:12by leaps and bounds.
27:14The scarcity
27:15of eternal true gods
27:16in the entire.
27:17World of Jyn
27:18was proof enough
27:19of that brutal truth.
27:20For those seeking to ascend,
27:22two roads stretched
27:23before them.
27:24The first was the law route,
27:26the well-trodden path
27:27most warriors chose.
27:29The second was
27:30the godly power route,
27:31a path paved
27:32with impossibility.
27:34Those who walked it
27:35faced trials
27:36far beyond
27:37what lawmasters endured.
27:39Yet the reward
27:40matched the risk.
27:41On this route,
27:42a warrior's life genes
27:44had to be pushed
27:44to specific thresholds,
27:46and only three levels existed,
27:48reaching the third level.
27:50Ninety thousand times life,
27:52gene enhancement,
27:53was the stuff of legend.
27:55A true god
27:56who achieved this
27:56could stand shoulder to shoulder
27:58with an eternal true god.
27:59They could easily step
28:01into the realm of void space,
28:02and from there,
28:04reaching eternal true god status
28:05became a far less daunting prospect.
28:08Luo Feng absorbed all of this
28:09in one sitting,
28:10but by the end
28:11his brow was furrowed.
28:13The godly power route
28:14demanded life genes
28:15multiplied ninety thousand times over.
28:17The sheer scale
28:18of that requirement
28:19was almost incomprehensible.
28:21A quiet doubt
28:22gnawed at him.
28:23Before this reincarnation era ended,
28:26could he possibly reach
28:27such a height?
28:28He wasn't confident,
28:29but resolve quickly
28:30replaced uncertainty.
28:32No matter what,
28:33he would try his utmost.
28:34If even he couldn't achieve
28:35ninety thousand times,
28:37life gene level
28:38before the era's end,
28:39then whatever level he reached
28:41would have to suffice
28:42for his breakthrough
28:43to true god.
28:44With that settled,
28:46Luo Feng turned his attention
28:47to the world
28:48of Jin's inheritances.
28:49At his request,
28:51the golden figure before him
28:52instantly displayed
28:53a vast, detailed list.
28:55The categories were extensive.
28:57Refined treasures,
28:59automaton treasures,
29:01close combat treasures,
29:02and more.
29:03The costs, however,
29:04were staggering.
29:05Luo Feng's eyes widened
29:07as he scanned
29:08the military credit requirements.
29:10Five thousand,
29:11ten thousand,
29:12even a hundred thousand credits
29:13for certain techniques.
29:15Some inheritances
29:16were restricted entirely,
29:18available only to warriors
29:19from special troops,
29:21regardless of whether
29:22a normal warrior could pay.
29:23Then his gaze landed
29:25on something
29:25that made his heart skip.
29:27The second stage
29:28of a blazing godly
29:29power secret technique,
29:31executable by a lawmaster,
29:33carried a price
29:33of one million
29:34military credits.
29:35Luo Feng was dumbfounded.
29:37The world of Jin
29:38actually possessed
29:39a secret technique
29:40of this caliber,
29:41one comparable
29:42to the first two volumes
29:43of Extermination.
29:45The sheer value
29:46of such a technique
29:47was staggering,
29:48and yet here it sat,
29:50locked behind
29:50an astronomical price.
29:52After combing through
29:53the inheritance,
29:54list and lamenting,
29:55the immense credit requirements,
29:58Luo Feng shifted his focus.
29:59He wanted to see
30:00weapons and armors.
30:01The screen obligingly
30:03displayed a new list,
30:04each entry accompanied
30:06by a design pattern,
30:07its military credit cost,
30:09and its power rating.
30:10True god-level armors,
30:11he noted,
30:12generally cost around
30:13ten thousand military credits.
30:15Weapons were a different story.
30:17Their prices varied wildly.
30:20Low-end true god weapons
30:21could be had for
30:22two thousand credits,
30:23but the most expensive ones
30:25soared to a million.
30:26True god-level battleships
30:28started at fifty thousand credits.
30:30As he studied
30:30the supreme true treasures,
30:32a clear hierarchy emerged.
30:34Palace-type treasures
30:35were the priciest,
30:36followed by soul-type,
30:38which required a minimum
30:39of thirty thousand credits.
30:41Then came domain-type,
30:42armor-type,
30:43and finally attack-type.
30:45Of course,
30:45exceptions existed.
30:46The most expensive attack-
30:48and palace-type.
30:49Treasures each demanded
30:50a million military credits.
30:52Luo-feng let out
30:52a quiet sigh of relief.
30:54With over three hundred thousand
30:55military credits to his name,
30:57he could afford a decent number
30:58of supreme true treasures.
31:00Their prices,
31:01while high,
31:02were not prohibitively so.
31:03A full day passed
31:04as he devoured information
31:06on inheritances,
31:07weaponry,
31:08and travel notes
31:08about the world of Jin.
31:10Yet the golden figure
31:11showed no trace of impatience.
31:14Finally,
31:14Luo-feng's eyes
31:15lit up with purpose.
31:16He had three major goals
31:18in coming to this place.
31:19Gather true god corpses
31:21to aid his own ascension,
31:23uncover the secrets
31:24of the world of Jin,
31:25and find a powerful
31:26automaton-type treasure.
31:28He already possessed
31:29the Shi Wu,
31:30wings for assistance,
31:31and the boat of
31:32mausoleum for flight and escape.
31:34What he lacked
31:35was a main attack weapon,
31:37something to anchor
31:38his offensive power
31:39in battle.
31:40At his request,
31:41the screen displayed
31:42the automaton-type treasures.
31:43The list was starkly short.
31:45Only a few dozen options
31:47remained,
31:48each a true god-level
31:49automaton.
31:50The higher-tier supreme
31:52true treasures
31:53were conspicuously absent,
31:55likely because his current
31:56power level
31:57didn't grant him access.
31:59Luo-feng scanned
31:59the options carefully.
32:01His gaze snagged
32:02on one entry.
32:03Black cloud wings.
32:05A true god-level
32:06automaton
32:07of ordinary grade,
32:09costing 150,000
32:10military credits,
32:11and available to
32:13Python River Army
32:14warriors.
32:14Its strengths lay
32:16in escape and defense,
32:17with a terrifying ability
32:18to restrain
32:19and entrap enemies.
32:20Its weakness
32:21was weaker attack power.
32:23Luo-feng remembered
32:24this item well.
32:25Back in Nine Smoke Marsh,
32:27the captain had used
32:28these very wings
32:29against him.
32:29The restraining power
32:31had been frightening.
32:32If not for the boat
32:33of mausoleum,
32:34if he had relied solely
32:36on his blood ghost blade,
32:37he would have been forced
32:39to execute extermination
32:40just to break free.
32:41And this was only
32:42an ordinary
32:43great automaton treasure?
32:45The prices on the list
32:46continued to climb.
32:48100,000,
32:49150,000,
32:50300,000.
32:51Ah!
32:521,000,000,
32:533,000,000 credits.
32:54The escalation
32:55was staggering.
32:56Luo-feng wasn't
32:57so foolish as to lust
32:58after the most
32:59expensive items.
33:00Instead,
33:01he focused on the range
33:02of 300,000
33:03to 350,000 credits.
33:06Soon,
33:06he found his target.
33:07A massive
33:09two-handed blade,
33:10intimidating yet beautiful.
33:12The misty blade.
33:14A true god-level
33:15automaton
33:16of ordinary grade,
33:18costing 320,000
33:19military credits,
33:20also available
33:21to Python River
33:22Army warriors.
33:24Its strength,
33:24when godly power
33:26was channeled
33:26through its inner core,
33:28it produced
33:29extremely strong
33:29attack power.
33:30Its weakness,
33:31extremely high
33:32godly power consumption,
33:34Luo-feng was tempted.
33:35He needed strong
33:37attack power,
33:38and his main weapon
33:38was the blade.
33:39It was only a true
33:41god-level automaton,
33:42but before reincarnation,
33:44it would be more
33:45than sufficient.
33:46After transcending
33:47reincarnation,
33:48it could be left
33:48for his human race.
33:50There was just one issue.
33:51Its function overlapped
33:53somewhat with his
33:54blood-ghost blade,
33:55he continued down the list.
33:57The further he went,
33:59the more unique
34:00and precious
34:00the automatons became.
34:02He even saw
34:03an automaton battleship
34:05comparable to his
34:06boat of mausoleum,
34:07and another with
34:08a self-initiated
34:09attack ability.
34:10Then he reached
34:11the last entry.
34:13Luo-feng held his breath.
34:14Wu-chi god,
34:15a true god-level
34:16automaton,
34:17unique item,
34:18personally created
34:19by His Majesty
34:21the Godly King.
34:22There was only one.
34:23The cost,
34:24thirty million
34:25military credits.
34:26Only true gods
34:27or lawmasters
34:28who had been
34:29sealed with a title
34:29had the authority
34:31to trade for it.
34:32Python River Army
34:33warriors were explicitly
34:34forbidden.
34:35Its strengths
34:36were legendary.
34:37First,
34:38extremely strong defense.
34:39His Majesty
34:40the Godly King
34:41had chosen precious,
34:42rare materials,
34:44refining it to a point
34:45where even eternal
34:46true gods
34:47could not damage it.
34:48Second,
34:49extremely strong attack force
34:50possessing incomparably
34:52strong attack power.
34:53Third,
34:54extremely fast dodging,
34:56its body structured
34:56for extreme agility.
34:58Its weakness,
34:59the alarming amount
35:00of godly power required.
35:02An ordinary true god's
35:03godly body would be
35:04consumed to nothingness
35:06in the blink of an eye.
35:07A gentle reminder
35:08accompanied the entry.
35:09Since its creation
35:10by the noble godly king,
35:12no great being
35:13had ever qualified
35:14to trade for
35:15Wu-Chi God
35:16with military credits.
35:18Its power was merely
35:19speculated,
35:20never tested.
35:21But for the godly king
35:22to stoop to creating
35:23a true god-level automaton,
35:25it must be powerful.
35:27Any creation
35:28by His Majesty's hands
35:29could never be
35:30of inferior quality.
35:31The conditions of exchange
35:32were personally determined
35:34by the godly king.
35:35The image showed
35:36an automaton
35:37resembling a monkey
35:39with a streamlined body
35:40and an agile tail.
35:41Just looking at it,
35:43one could feel
35:43its dynamic nature,
35:45its incredible speed.
35:46Temptation stirred
35:47within Luo Feng.
35:49He understood the value
35:50of Wu-Chi God
35:51with painful clarity.
35:53It represented
35:54the ultimate perfection
35:55of a single-body
35:56type treasure,
35:57a category that included
35:58his own Shi Wu,
36:00wings.
36:00But where Shi Wu?
36:02Wings focused on assistance.
36:04Wu-Chi God
36:05was perfection itself,
36:06minus the crippling
36:07godly power consumption.
36:09It was flawless
36:10in every way.
36:11Thirty million military credits.
36:13Luo Feng roared inwardly.
36:15Where would he ever find
36:16such an exorbitant sum?
36:18And even if he did,
36:19he wasn't qualified
36:20to buy it.
36:21He would need to be
36:22a true god or lawmaster
36:24who had received a seal.
36:25And since its creation,
36:27no one had ever managed
36:28to trade for it.
36:29He shook his head.
36:31The world of Jin
36:32had a far-reaching history.
36:33His majesty,
36:34the godly king,
36:35had disappeared long ago,
36:37meaning Wu-Chi God's
36:38creation was ancient.
36:39The world of Jin
36:40had a systematic
36:41selection process
36:42for choosing great beings.
36:44Yet none had ever
36:45claimed Wu-Chi God.
36:47That alone spoke volumes
36:48about the difficulty.
36:50Receiving a seal?
36:51Luo Feng mumbled.
36:53What did that mean?
36:53A sealed great being
36:55seemed to hold a
36:56position far above
36:57even a warrior
36:58from a special troop.
37:00He turned to the golden figure
37:01and requested more information
37:03on receiving a seal.
37:04Five hundred military credits
37:06required,
37:06the figure replied.
37:08Luo Feng grimaced.
37:09He was in no position
37:11to bargain.
37:11He nodded.
37:12The screen shifted
37:13to a detailed introduction.
37:15Receiving a seal
37:16meant a great being
37:17was outstanding
37:18to the point of perfection.
37:20Upon reaching this level,
37:21one qualified to be sealed
37:23by being given
37:24a Jin name.
37:26Representing the utmost glory,
37:28every sealed great being
37:29held an extremely
37:30high position.
37:31In the world of Jin,
37:32the only ones bestowed
37:34with a seal
37:34were the four major generals,
37:36who held total supremacy
37:38over all true gods
37:39of void space.
37:40Luo Feng was taken aback.
37:42Sealed with a Jin character?
37:44The previous Duandong River
37:46had been sealed
37:47with a Wu character.
37:48Jin, Wu,
37:49his majesty,
37:50the godly king?
37:51He nodded discreetly
37:52and continued reading.
37:53The requirements
37:54for receiving a seal
37:55were incredibly stringent.
37:57Becoming a prominent
37:58eternal true god
37:59would earn one
38:00a seal immediately.
38:02For true gods
38:02of void space,
38:03the odds were
38:04one in a million.
38:05And for true gods?
38:06In the entire long history
38:08since Wu-Chi god's creation,
38:10not a single true god
38:11in the whole world
38:12of Jin had ever been sealed.
38:14Nobody had ever been sealed.
38:16Not a true god,
38:18and certainly not a lawmaster.
38:19Since his majesty,
38:21the godly king,
38:22forged Wu-Chi god,
38:23the title of sealed
38:24great being had stayed,
38:26just out of reach
38:27for everyone who wanted it,
38:28and the armies
38:29all wanted it badly.
38:31Sealing changed everything.
38:32A sealed great being
38:34stood near the four generals.
38:35He received rewards
38:37that were priceless,
38:38Wu-Chi god among them,
38:40and the bar was set so high
38:41that it had stopped
38:42countless talented
38:43great beings across.
38:45World of Jin cold.
38:47Luo Feng scanned the material
38:48again and frowned.
38:50Sealed, he murmured.
38:51He lifted his gaze
38:52to the golden being
38:53hovering before him.
38:55Is there any task
38:56that can get me sealed?
38:57The golden being
38:58answered without warmth.
38:59There is.
39:00Tell me.
39:02Luo Feng was not worried.
39:03He was an inheritor
39:04of Duandong River.
39:06Surely that counted
39:07for something.
39:08Soldier of Python River Army,
39:09you are a lawmaster,
39:10the golden being said.
39:12There are two ways
39:13for you to be sealed.
39:14Luo Feng leaned in.
39:16The first path
39:17demands two conditions,
39:18and meeting both
39:19seals you on the spot,
39:21it said.
39:21The first,
39:22you walk the godly power path
39:24to true godhood,
39:26and your life gene level
39:27must reach 90,000 times.
39:29Once you get there,
39:30you do not step
39:31into true godhood yet.
39:33You present yourself
39:34to the four generals
39:35for testing.
39:36The second,
39:37the basic game
39:38of rhinoceros.
39:39Emperor contains
39:4010,081 games.
39:42You must solve
39:42every single one.
39:44Clear both,
39:44and you are sealed.
39:46Your standing
39:47will rise above
39:48every ordinary
39:49sealed great being,
39:50equal to the four generals
39:52themselves.
39:53For a moment,
39:53Luo Feng could only stare.
39:55That's absurd,
39:57he finally said.
39:58Who set these conditions?
39:59His majesty,
40:00the godly king.
40:01Luo Feng almost laughed.
40:03The godly power path
40:04alone was brutal.
40:06Even in the ancient
40:07civilization,
40:08a life gene level
40:09of 90,000
40:10was a summit
40:10few ever approached.
40:11And in World of Djinn,
40:13where the army
40:14locked up
40:14every valuable opportunity,
40:16soldiers were not
40:17handed the chances
40:18they needed
40:19to climb that high.
40:20And 10,081 games
40:22of rhinoceros emperor
40:23back to back,
40:24the godly king
40:25had to be out
40:25of his mind.
40:26No time limit
40:27was given,
40:27but a lawmaster
40:28was expected
40:29to clear them all?
40:30No inheritor
40:31of Duandong River
40:32had ever managed it
40:33as a lawmaster.
40:34Whoever pulled that off
40:35might one day
40:36wear the godly king's crown.
40:38Both conditions
40:39were madness,
40:40Luo Feng thought.
40:40Anyone who met them
40:42would become
40:42an eternal true god
40:44almost automatically,
40:45with a future
40:46that stood above
40:46nearly every being
40:47in the entire
40:48ancient civilization.
40:50The godly king
40:51truly believed
40:52Wu-Chi God
40:53was that remarkable
40:54a machine.
40:55He shook his head.
40:56The ancient civilization
40:58held many powers,
40:59and Jin was just
41:00one of them.
41:01The moment a genius
41:02like that surfaced,
41:03every power
41:04would be scrambling
41:05to seize him.
41:06There are two paths,
41:07you said,
41:08Luo Feng said,
41:09eyes narrowing.
41:11What about the second?
41:12His majesty knew the first.
41:14Path was nearly impossible,
41:16the golden being replied.
41:18So he opened a second.
41:19Any lawmaster may apply
41:21for a sealing task.
41:22Once the task begins,
41:24the requirements are revealed.
41:25Complete it,
41:26and you are sealed.
41:28A sealing task,
41:29Luo Feng thought.
41:30Each era brings
41:31one military task,
41:33and that is the only one.
41:34Miss it,
41:35and he would have to wait
41:36for the next era
41:37to try again.
41:38What is the death rate?
41:39He asked.
41:41Soldiers from every army
41:42apply for each era's
41:43sealing task.
41:44The golden being
41:46said flatly.
41:47The death rate
41:48is about ninety percent.
41:49Ten percent survive,
41:50and no one
41:51has ever completed it.
41:52Luo Feng drew
41:53a sharp breath.
41:54Through the endless eras,
41:56not one person
41:56had finished the task.
41:58Nine out of ten died trying,
42:00and the survivors
42:00still failed.
42:01What is the task itself?
42:03Soldier of Python River Army,
42:04once you apply,
42:05you will learn
42:06when the next task period opens,
42:08the golden being said.
42:10Until then,
42:11train yourself.
42:12Clear a few incarnation-level
42:13tasks first.
42:15Luo Feng nodded slowly.
42:16The great lake
42:18lay still beneath the sky.
42:19A strange beast
42:20hung in the air,
42:21wings trembling,
42:22eyes fixed on the horizon.
42:24He was waiting,
42:25and he was getting
42:26nervous about it.
42:28Wu He hovered there,
42:29muttering to himself.
42:30Where is he?
42:31He went to the one-armed spot,
42:33he should be back by now.
42:34Please don't let them
42:35trade my true god bodies
42:37for military credits.
42:38Milky Way,
42:39my life is in your hands.
42:40I have plenty of valuables.
42:42If you want them,
42:43you can have them.
42:44His eyes suddenly flashed.
42:46A figure had appeared
42:47out of nowhere,
42:48teleporting in
42:49across the water.
42:50Milky Way!
42:51Milky Way!
42:52Wu He beat his wings
42:53and rushed toward him.
42:55Luo Feng glanced over
42:56and smiled.
42:57No need to hurry.
42:58Let's land first.
42:59Right, right,
43:00Wu He said.
43:01Luo Feng descended
43:02onto an island below,
43:04Wu He trailing behind him.
43:06Wu He gazed around.
43:07This island is beautifully built.
43:09Everything is simple
43:10and natural,
43:11but it has a quality
43:12I could never copy.
43:14Only you could manage this.
43:15Even my father
43:16couldn't do it half as well.
43:18The soldiers who lived here
43:19before built it.
43:20Luo Feng flicked his hand.
43:22A stone chair drifted over
43:24and settled in front of him.
43:25He sat down.
43:26I'm lazy,
43:27so I left it as it was.
43:29Wu He blinked,
43:30then nodded hard.
43:31You're right, Milky Way.
43:33Our focus should be
43:34on getting stronger.
43:35Power is everything.
43:36Luo Feng gave him a flat look.
43:38Stop flattering me.
43:40You're terrible at it.
43:41Wu He went red.
43:42As the child
43:43of the northern true ocean,
43:45he had never needed
43:46to flatter anyone.
43:47And he simply didn't know how...
43:49Your share is still set aside,
43:51Luo Feng said.
43:52Don't worry about it.
43:53Wu He let out
43:54a breath of relief.
43:55But I want proof
43:56of your sincerity,
43:57Luo Feng continued.
43:58Show me what you brought.
44:00You'll see, Milky Way.
44:01A suit of armor
44:02dropped onto the ground
44:03with a heavy thud,
44:04its surface covered
44:05in green scales.
44:06A true god armor?
44:08It's stronger than anything
44:09the Python River Army has.
44:11Luo Feng barely glanced at it.
44:13Wu He wasn't surprised.
44:15He already knew
44:15a true god armor
44:16could never buy
44:17a true god body.
44:19And this is a true god ship
44:21from the northern true ocean,
44:22he summoned it into view.
44:24An ancient golden vessel
44:26settled onto the ground.
44:27Luo Feng studied it briefly,
44:29then looked away.
44:30Wu He's panic grew.
44:32This!
44:32This is a true god-level ship!
44:34Luo Feng showed no interest.
44:36Inside, though,
44:37Luo Feng was pleased.
44:39Just as I thought,
44:40he told himself.
44:41Of course,
44:42the son of the northern true.
44:43Ocean Master would bring
44:45a supreme treasure palace
44:46to run with.
44:47I can't let him leave with it.
44:49There might be
44:50something better still.
44:51This ship alone
44:52is worth at least
44:53fifty thousand military credits.
44:55A good deal.
44:56I, I...
44:57Wu He stammered.
44:58These are all the weapons
45:00and armor of lawmasters.
45:01I collected in nine smoke marsh.
45:03Everything.
45:04Is here.
45:05He pulled a bracelet.
45:07Off his claw.
45:08Luo Feng looked again
45:09and still did not care.
45:10Wu He grew even more frantic.
45:12Is it enough, Milky Way?
45:14He stared at him.
45:16Luo Feng studied him.
45:17The beast was fierce to look at,
45:19his face covered in scales,
45:21all sharp edges.
45:22But his eyes gave him away.
45:24They looked weak.
45:26No,
45:26Luo Feng whispered.
45:28He didn't let it show on his face.
45:30He doubted Wu He would bring out
45:32only this much.
45:33Especially from the northern true ocean,
45:35where the Master was strict
45:37and had surely limited
45:38what his son could carry.
45:40Wu He could go home
45:41and fetch more.
45:42There was plenty of time
45:43before the deadline,
45:44and the northern true ocean
45:46was vast.
45:47Luo Feng intended to squeeze
45:49every bit of value out of it.
45:50Milky Way.
45:51He clenched his jaw
45:53and fixed his eyes on Luo Feng.
45:55I did bring one more valuable.
45:57I'll hand it over,
45:58but I want my ship back.
45:59Luo Feng's eyes sharpened.
46:01So Wu He had something
46:03even more precious than the ship.
46:05Luo Feng's gaze settled on Wu He.
46:07Bring it out.
