Swallowed Star

After a while…

“I know the universe number of teacher Hu Yan Bo.” Luo Feng smiled. “As long as you connect to the virtual universe, you can see my number on your contact list. You can reach me anytime you want… Teacher Hu Yan Bo and Babata haven’t seen each other for a long time, so I’ll leave you two alone.”

He then turned around and disappeared.

Hu Yan Bo and his soul slaves were only relieved after seeing Luo Feng leave.

“Big brother, Master Luo Feng is grateful of you,” said Babata. “Even though you died a long time ago, you were his instructor and left your inheritance, which benefited him before. There’s no need to be so nervous. You can speak plainly… Big brother and the rest of you, why were you scared? He couldn’t even talk with you.”

“It sounds simple, and we all understand that,” said the ape-shaped undying fighter. “That’s a universe master, Babata! To us, Ganwu Universe Country Master is already an ancient and invincible being. As for universe masters? They are the pinnacle beings of the human race! Though big brother did that Milky Way Horde Leader a favor, we didn’t know him. Who wouldn’t be scared of a powerful being like him? He might be able to kill us with one look.”

Hu Yan Bo took a deep breath and stroked Babata’s head. “Babata, you fought with him before, and you’ve been with him since he was still weak. You grew with him, so you are comfortable with him. We didn’t know him directly, so we need to be well-behaved. Even if he owes me a favor, I can’t be reckless. Otherwise, I’ll be in trouble.”

Everyone around him nodded.

There was an ancient proverb on the Earth: “To be in the king’s company is tantamount to living with a tiger.” When facing a being with absolute power, one needed to be careful—even if that being owed a favor

Like a king on the earth, universe masters who could slaughter the beings on billions of planets and reserve time to save countless beings were held in awe by ordinary undying fighters. Most undying fighters couldn’t hope to even see a universe master in their lives.

“Okay.” Babata nodded. “I understand what you’re saying. Even though Master Luo Feng suppresses his power and treats me the same as before, I still feel nervous sometimes. I called him ‘Luo Feng’ before, but I don’t do that now.”

“That’s majesty.” Hu Yan Bo smiled. “Even if a supreme being doesn’t reveal his majesty directly, we still venerate him because of his status. Those without respect can’t live long. I just didn’t expect my broken inheritance to help cultivate such a great being.”

The yellow-skinned man behind Hu Yan Bo said, “Babata, you need to tell us the stories about this Milky Way Horde Leader.”

When they first met, Luo Feng had wanted to talk with them about his stories, and Babata briefed them, too. Hu Yan Bo and his slaves understood how they were connected to Luo Feng. However, after Babata finished briefing them, Hu Yan Bo and the others all looked incredibly nervous. Luo Feng had only talked with them for a short while, and he had left because they were too nervous to have a conversation.

As for Hu Yan Bo and his soul slaves, they were all curious about how an earthling had become one of the supreme beings in the entire human race after only 200,000 years. Hu Yan Bo and the others were all proud that they had helped him in the process, and they all understood that they had a bright future ahead of them as long as they were not foolish; they were now connected to a supreme being.

“I know everything about master Luo Feng before he became undying,” said Babata. “After becoming undying, he got more and more powerful, at which point I know less and less. Regardless, the stories I do know are fascinating enough. Master Luo Feng has a perfect mind and perfect willpower. He’s a truly peerless talent. I’ll tell you something about the catastrophes on Earth and the War of Talents…”

******

In the Milky Way, Luo Feng walked along in the quiet space.

The higher his status became, the lonelier he felt. His family—like his wife, his children, and his parents—would never be estranged from him. But the same could not be said of his friends. Even those friends he had fought with—like Rong Jun and even Hong and Thunder God—would be estranged from him. On the contrary, Wei Wen, who had grown up with him and didn’t know much about the seniors in the human race, still treated Luo Feng as he had before.

“Even if I suppress my power, they’re still awed by him. If I let it out, even universe knights don’t dare to look me right in the eyes.”

Luo Feng actually felt quite lonely. When he was resurrecting Hu Yan Bo and the slaves, he couldn’t help recalling all those friends he’d had before. Like Fire Hammer Squad, when he had first became a warrior! Like his friends who had died during the fight against the swallowing beast (the Golden Horned Beast). He had transferred its soul to him, yet the others died.

Could he resurrect them? No, he couldn’t. Although universe masters could reverse time, he wasn’t able to revive his mates from the past. Those heroes who had died fighting the swallowing beast were only at the star traveler level, so they only had 1,000 years to live! If he tried to resurrect them, he could indeed locate them. The punishment of turning back time could be borne by Luo Feng, but the passage of that time had to be borne by them.

Undying fighters could easily bear the passage of time. As for his mates from the past, their bodies would immediately weaken and decay with the passage of time, and without multiple bodies, their souls would quickly be gone. Luo Feng couldn’t help them at all, even if time was turned back.

This was one of the weaknesses of turning back time. It wasn’t perfect, as there were several exceptions to its abilities.

Luo Feng sighed and flew to the palaces in the distance. It was the holy land of Milky Way, where Luo Feng’s palaces were situated.

******

After arriving back at the Milky Way, Luo Feng reconstructed the time and space around his palace. Through his control over space and time, he isolated the space and time of the area from it. Even if ordinary spaceships went by, they couldn’t enter this space and time. After that, Luo Feng began his first practice after becoming a universe master!

In Luo Feng’s home in the Milky Way, he had garnered great fame thanks to the unprecedented war that had involved almost all the supreme beings in the original universe. Also, Luo Feng’s home was called “Milky Way Holy Land” or “Milky Way Den” by the other races on the outside.

It was where Luo Feng lived. Even an army couldn’t do anything to him, not to mention the others.

******

In Milky Way Holy Land, Boat of Mausoleum—which was ten billion kilometers long—slowly floated through space. Luo Feng was practicing in the space of inheritance inside it.

“Ever since I created the blade technique and got the inheritance, I haven’t created any blade techniques.” Star Tower started to float on Luo Feng’s palm. “I have Star Tower, too, yet I can only utilize the third-level engravings, and it’s already as complex as Nirvana Incarnation.”

Normally, it was easier to easier to utilize engravings than to create techniques! For example, universe masters like Peng Gong Master, Darkness Master, and Star River Master hadn’t created universe-supreme-master-level techniques, yet they could utilize engravings at that level! And the fact that Luo Feng was able to create a blade technique at that level meant he could utilize engravings more advanced than that.

Star Tower is the most mysterious true treasure I have, Luo Feng thought. Both Boat of Mausoleum and Shi Wu Wing are of the machine type, and they both have apparent functions and power limits. As for Blood Shadow Blade, it’s only an embryo, and all the techniques need to be created by me. Only Star Tower is so mysterious!

Before the war, Luo Feng had been confused as to why Star Tower had such strict requirements for master recognition. However, he hadn’t yet discovered the full extent of its unique capabilities, as he hadn’t been strong enough.

After the war, Luo Feng learned the first special advantage of Star Tower: It was much more efficient in guarding souls than other supreme true treasures!

“I’ll comprehend them carefully now.”

Luo Feng immediately started to comprehend the engravings now.

The time in the space of inheritance was ten thousand times faster than that outside, making it more efficient… After becoming a universe master, Luo Feng could finally start to improve his power comprehensively, trying to maximize his power at this level.

******

Hundreds of years passed, which was much longer on the outside.

Luo Feng opened his eyes in the space of inheritance after a long time and frowned. “Ancestral God School is looking for me?”

He took out a token, which had been given to him by the Ancestral Gods after he became a sub-member of the Ancestral God School.

“I need to go see the Ancestral Gods?”

Luo Feng was confused. If he was still at a mediocre level, it would have been normal for the Ancestral God school to give commands, but he held a different status now. His power had manifested in the previous war. Only under special circumstances would the Ancestral God School look for him. Besides, even if they actually needed him, they could have sent a prophet instead of summoning him directly.

I talked with all three Ancestral Gods after the war, and none of them is arrogant, thought Luo Feng. There must be a reason why they’re summoning me.

He was already a pinnacle being in the original universe, and there had to be mutual respect when great beings talked with each other!

Shua!

Luo Feng disappeared.

******

Ancestral God School, Bauhinia Island in the Ancestral God Secret Region.

The palace where Luo Feng lived was still there. A silver-caped being appeared, followed by a dimming light. It was Luo Feng.

“It’s been a long time.” Luo Feng looked around.

“Luo Feng!” came a voice. “Come here. There’s something important about the humans I need to tell you.”
