Chapter 103 Sending Earth

The Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly, showing no surprise at Lu Ming's confidence.

At their level, their minds and wills are already unbreakable, and what they believe in has its own reason.

"Now that we've entered Chaos City, we can settle down here and cultivate in peace."

The Lord of Chaos spoke calmly, as if he were recounting a trivial matter.

"You may find a place that suits your taste in the outer areas of the city and build a residence there."

He paused briefly and added, "Of course, the scale needs to be controlled, so as not to be too ostentatious and disturb the tranquility of this place."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming naturally understood that this was the rule of Chaos City, and also the city lord's recognition of him.

He immediately nodded and replied, "Rest assured, City Lord, Lu Ming understands. It is already a blessing to be able to find a quiet place to cultivate, and I will naturally follow the rules."

To own one's own palace in Chaos City is itself a symbol of status and power.

Although the outer area is not as close to the city lord's mansion as the core area, it is enough for him.

He wasn't there to fight for territory; he needed a quiet and safe environment to reflect on his gains and strive for a higher level.

"That's good."

The Lord of Chaos City said no more. His figure slowly blurred and eventually disappeared as if it had merged into the surrounding space, leaving only a lingering echo.

"If you have any important business, you may come to my residence to find me."

Lu Ming stood up and bowed slightly in the direction where the city lord had disappeared.

Then, he stepped out of the city lord's mansion, his gaze sweeping over the ancient and mysterious city.

Occasionally, one can see ascetics sitting cross-legged on the streets, their bodies surrounded by fluctuations of laws, and some buildings even have deep engravings of secret techniques on their exterior walls.

"The outer area..."

With a slight movement of his divine sense, Lu Ming quickly located a relatively secluded corner where he could vaguely sense the fluctuations of the Golden Void Fusion Law.

"Good location, let's take this spot."

With a thought, his divine power surged forth, accompanied by his exquisite control over the laws of space. On that open ground, a palace, simple in style and not particularly grand, yet exuding an aura of restrained majesty, slowly rose from the ground, blending seamlessly with the ancient charm of the entire Chaos City.

The palace was completed, but there was no plaque above the lintel.

Lu Ming thought for a moment, then casually waved his hand, and the two characters "Burning the Sky" quietly appeared. His brushstrokes were like dragons and snakes, subtly implying the artistic conception of burning the sky and controlling the void.

From this moment on, he finally had a place to stay in this Chaos City.

the other side.

Guided by Qingyuan, Luo Feng has arrived at Qiulong Star.

And they have also witnessed the cruelty of the universe.

Meanwhile, Luo Feng also left Earth with Qing Yuan's help.

Of course, they left discreetly without alerting anyone. Luo Feng's excuse to the outside world was that it was because of the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins.

Sensing the opportunity for a breakthrough, he immediately went into seclusion and achieved it.

……

Qiulongxing, slave market.

Luo Feng stood on the edge of the bustling and cruel market, looking at the various "goods" locked in cages, their eyes numb or desperate, including some planetary and stellar-level beings.

They are treated like commodities, with prices clearly marked, awaiting an unknown fate.

A chill ran down my spine and straight to the top of my head.

He witnessed firsthand how a seventh-level stellar-level mentalist was easily bought by someone else.

In the vast universe, this might be just an insignificant transaction, but its impact on Luo Feng was unparalleled.

"Strength... Without strength, you can't even control your own destiny in the universe, and you might even become a commodity!"

Luo Feng clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh. He had never realized the importance of strength so clearly before.

Earth... is too weak!

In the vast universe, it is like an unclaimed, fragile treasure; once discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"There are no strong people on Earth, no pillars of support..."

A determined flame ignited in Luo Feng's eyes.

"Then I will become that strong one! I will become the pillar protecting the Earth!"

Just then, Qingyuan, who was beside him, calmly spoke, interrupting his thoughts: "Luo Feng."

A virtual light screen unfolded in front of Luo Feng.

"This is also a gift from your master."

A document was clearly displayed on the screen.

Earth Ownership Transfer Agreement

The transferor's signature was a mark that Luo Feng couldn't understand, exuding an aura of authority. It represented high-level authorization from the virtual universe system, and the transferee's name was none other than Luo Feng's!

"from now on,"

Qingyuan's voice remained calm.

"You are now the rightful lord of Earth. Registered with the Virtual Universe Company, you are protected by the laws of the human race."

Luo Feng stared at the agreement, his heart pounding with shock!

The teacher... actually gave him the entire Earth!

This gift weighed on his heart and brought him a greater sense of responsibility than the ten Mixed Yuan Units!

"Let's go."

Qingyuan turned off the light screen.

"Next, go and purchase the resources you need to cultivate to the ninth level of the planetary stage. Your master has granted you temporary access to his Cosmic Galaxy Bank account."

"With the master's privileges, you can access and purchase many rare resources that are not available through ordinary channels, such as..."

Qingyuan paused, then uttered the words that made Luo Feng's heart race:

"The most efficient nutrient solution with no side effects!"

That's right, Lu Ming had no intention of letting Luo Feng waste time on tedious energy accumulation.

The battle of geniuses is not far off, and he needs Luo Feng to grow up as quickly as possible.

As for the golden-horned giant beast egg on Earth, Lu Ming had already discovered it.

He had even planned out a route for Luo Feng—to possess the Golden Horned Beast, just like in the original story!

The creation of clones is also necessary. The first clone must be a human clone; this is fundamental.

As for the second clone... While the Demon Slayer Clan clone in the original work was certainly good, with excellent spatial talent, Lu Ming felt that with his current vision and resources, he could find a better option for Luo Feng!

"only……"

Lu Ming pondered to himself.

"Luo Feng is not currently cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, so his genetic level cannot be improved, and the number of clones he can create is limited. Among these limited slots, it is really not easy to select one with greater potential than the Demon Slayer Clan clones."

Although the universe is vast, special life forms that meet the requirements and can be successfully nurtured by Luo Feng at this stage do indeed need to be carefully screened.

"It seems we'll have to put in some effort to find a suitable 'opportunity' for him in the vast universe."

Lu Ming's consciousness, within the new palace of Chaos City, revealed a meaningful smile.

Meanwhile, Luo Feng looked at all these slaves.

Speak slowly.

"Qingyuan, I think... I should buy some more important things first."

Qingyuan was taken aback.

"You want to buy slaves? Fine, do you want them to help you protect the Earth?"

Luo Feng's gaze was firm as he slowly nodded: "Yes, I want to buy slaves. I want them to protect the Earth and my family for me."

He looked into the distance, as if his gaze had pierced through the endless starry sky and returned to that blue planet.

"Earth cannot be the only one getting stronger. It's time to completely resolve the monster crisis that has plagued humanity for so many years."

Chapter 104 Shadow Shuttle Beast

Qingyuan instantly understood Luo Feng's intention.

He wanted to use the power of the universe to quickly quell the internal troubles on Earth, create a safe and stable environment for his family and compatriots, and at the same time allow himself to venture out into the world without any worries.

"Wise choice."

Qingyuan did not interfere, but calmly analyzed the situation.

"If you're going to buy something, buy the best one and get it right away."

She brought up a virtual screen and quickly filtered through the information.

"I suggest you directly purchase slaves at the eighth level of the cosmic realm. This level of strength is enough to sweep away all the threats currently facing Earth. Moreover, as long as you don't encounter an opponent at the ninth level of the cosmic realm, you can basically ensure that Earth is safe."

Qingyuan's tone carried a hint of matter-of-fact: "With the wealth left to you by your master, you could easily buy more than a few, let alone a legion composed of eighth-tier cosmic-level beings."

She knew her master's background very well. Lu Ming now possessed vast resources and was incredibly wealthy.

Compared to that "poor" and "moneyless ruler" who was "poor" for many years, they are the two extremes.

“Master may lack many things now, but he is not short of money.”

Qingyuan added a sentence, which reassured Luo Feng.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng took a deep breath. Eighth-tier Universe-level!

That was like a god to him right now!

Now, however, he can easily "buy" such powerful individuals to protect his homeland... The impact of this power excites him and strengthens his resolve to become stronger as soon as possible.
