"I am perfectly clear on Teacher Huyan Bo's Virtual Universe number," Luo Feng said with a slight smile. "As long as Teacher Huyan Bo connects to the Virtual Universe, he can see my number added to his contact list and reach me anytime... Teacher Huyan Bo and Babata haven't seen each other in a long time either, so I won't keep you."

With that, he turned and vanished into thin air.

Seeing Luo Feng depart, Huyan Bo and the nine Soul Servants under him finally let out a collective sigh of relief.

"Boss, Master Luo Feng is grateful to you. Although you perished back then, you did offer the guidance of your inheritance. There was no need to be so tense; you could have simply interacted normally... Look at you, Boss, and all of you—you're all terrified like this. It makes normal conversation impossible," Babata said helplessly.

"It’s easy for you to say. We all understand that," the giant gorilla-like Immortal growled. "Babata, that is a Universe Master! To us... the Lord of Qianwu was already a lofty, ancient, invincible existence. As for the legendary Universe Master, that is the absolute pinnacle existence for the entire human race. While we understand that our Boss owes a debt to this Lord of the Galaxy, we didn't know him before, and this sudden... Who wouldn't be scared? I fear that one look from this great figure could end us."

Huyan Bo let out a long breath, patting Babata's head: "Babata, you fought him in life and death, and you were with him when he was weak, growing up together... so you feel alright. But we are strangers to him, so it’s better to maintain proper decorum. For a figure of this magnitude... even if I hold some past kindness over him, if I rely on that favor and act carelessly, displeasing him... that would be disastrous."

The others nearby all nodded in agreement.

There is an old saying on Earth: 'Accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger.' In the presence of one who holds absolute power and status, one must proceed with utmost caution, regardless of past favors.

Compared to an emperor of a single planet, a 'Universe Master' who can so easily slaughter billions of planets and reverse time to resurrect countless beings... ordinary Immortal Gods are timid and fearful before them. The vast majority of Immortal Gods never qualify to even meet a Universe Master in their entire lifetime.

"Mm," Babata nodded. "I understand what you mean, Boss. Even Master Luo Feng restrains his aura in front of me, just like in the past, but my heart still tightens... In the past, I called him Luo Feng casually, but now, it feels unnatural and I don't dare to."

"That is imposing aura," Huyan Bo chuckled. "A being high above, even without actively displaying majesty, his status naturally inspires awe in our hearts. Those without awe... rarely live long. I never expected that by simply wishing for my inheritance not to be broken, such a magnificent figure would emerge."

The yellow-skinned man standing behind Huyan Bo, looking somewhat reserved, spoke up: "Babata, you must tell us properly about the story of this Lord of the Galaxy."

When the two sides had met previously, Luo Feng was naturally grateful and wished to converse at length. Babata had narrated some general points, letting Huyan Bo and the others understand the connection between the 'Luo Feng' before them and themselves. But after Babata finished speaking... Huyan Bo and the others became excessively cautious. Luo Feng spoke for a while, but found little to say, and seeing their extreme restraint, he chose to leave first.

Yet, deep down, Huyan Bo and the nine Soul Servants were incredibly curious—in less than two hundred thousand years... from being an indigenous life form on Earth, climbing step by difficult step until becoming one of the supreme beings of the entire human race. Huyan Bo and his servants felt a sense of pride that they could contribute even a small part to that journey. At the same time, they understood... latching onto such a powerful backer meant boundless prospects, unless one was utterly foolish.

"I know Master Luo Feng's story well before he became an Immortal. After becoming an Immortal, as Master Luo Feng's strength grew, what I knew became scarcer," Babata continued. "But even what I know is incredibly spectacular. To say the least, Master Luo Feng is a true peerless figure whose mental fortitude and perseverance are flawless. I'll start with the several great calamities on Earth, and then talk about the Genius Battles..."

Milky Way Galaxy.

Luo Feng walked through the tranquil void.

The higher one ascended, the lonelier it became. Aside from immediate family—wife, children, parents—who would not feel a barrier due to his high status—other friends, even those with whom he had fought life and death battles, like Rong Jun, or even Hong and Thunder God, would develop some distance.

Only Wei Wen, who had grown up with him and was unfamiliar with the high echelons of the human race, remained casual in Luo Feng's presence.

"Even restraining my aura like this, if I were to fully unleash it, even Universe Venerables would tremble and dare not look directly at me," Luo Feng felt a touch of melancholy now. Reviving Huyan Bo and his subordinates reminded him of the many, many friends he had known throughout his life's journey.

The Fire Hammer Squad when he first embarked on the path of a martial artist!

The several comrades who perished together with the Devouring Beast... He had survived by taking over a body, but the others had all fallen.

Resurrection?

It was impossible. Even as a supreme Universe Master capable of reversing time, he could not bring back those comrades from that time. Because those heroes who died with the Devouring Beast were merely Planetary level beings, and the lifespan limit for Planetary beings was 1,000 years! If he were to resurrect them now, he could certainly find them in that bygone era, but while he could endure the punishment of 'Time Reversal,' they would have to bear the erosion of time themselves.

An Immortal could easily withstand the flow of time. But his former comrades, under the erosion of time, their physical bodies would rapidly decay and crumble, and their souls, unprotected by flesh, would quickly dissipate into dust... During the process of Time Reversal, Luo Feng could offer them no aid.

This was one of the inherent flaws in reviving via 'Time Reversal.'

Resurrection through Time Reversal was not omnipotent; there were several exceptions.

Luo Feng sighed faintly and then flew toward the distant cluster of palaces—the sacred ground of the Milky Way Galaxy, and the location of Luo Feng's own palace.

Upon returning to the Milky Way, Luo Feng first initiated a transformation of the space-time around his base, utilizing control over space-time to form an area completely 'independent of the surrounding regions.' This ensured that even if ordinary cosmic vessels passed through, they would be unable to enter this space.

Following this, Luo Feng began his first true deep cultivation since becoming a Universe Master!

Luo Feng’s base in the Milky Way Galaxy... because of the unprecedented battle involving nearly all the strong entities of the entire Original Universe, Luo Feng’s fame had grown immensely. His base in the Milky Way was referred to by various foreign races as the 'Galaxy Holy Land,' the 'Galaxy Demon Cave,' and other titles.

In short, it was where Luo Feng resided. Since even a massive army could not harm Luo Feng, no one dared to trespass upon the Galaxy Holy Land.

In the Galaxy Holy Land, a Tomb Ship, billions of kilometers long, drifted slowly through the void.

Inside the inheritance space of the Tomb Ship, Luo Feng was in deep cultivation within a training chamber.

"Since I first created my blade techniques and received the inheritance, my path of the blade has seen no new creations," Luo Feng murmured, the Star Tower floating above his palm. "And the Star Tower—I can currently only activate its third layer of secret patterns. The profundity of the third layer of secret patterns is equivalent to my blade technique, 'Nirvana Rebirth.'

Normally, activating secret patterns is simpler than creating one's own secret techniques! Lords like Peng Gong, Dark Lord, and Star River Lord have all failed to create secret techniques at the level of Universe's Strongest, yet they can activate the secret patterns of that level! As for the blade technique Luo Feng created... it suggests he should be capable of activating even higher-level patterns.

'The Star Tower is the ultimate treasure in my possession that I understand the least,' Luo Feng thought to himself. 'The Tomb Ship and the Godslayer Wings are mechanical flow types; their uses are obvious, and their power is quantifiable. As for the 'Blood Shadow Blade,' it is purely nascent—all secret methods must be self-created. Only the Star... is mysterious!'

Before the great war, Luo Feng had only been puzzled by the Star Tower’s ridiculously high recognition difficulty, but due to his strength at the time, he hadn't discovered anything special about the Star Tower during combat.

However, during this recent massive battle... Luo Feng discovered the Star Tower's first special advantage: 'Its soul suppression capability is clearly a level higher than other ultimate treasures that guard the soul!'

"I must study this carefully," Luo Feng resolved, immediately diving into contemplation.

This training chamber allowed for ten thousand times time acceleration, maximizing temporal efficiency... Since advancing to Universe Master, Luo Feng had been comprehensively enhancing his strength, pushing every facet to the highest possible degree achievable at his current stage.

In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed, and naturally, much longer in the training chamber.

Luo Feng, emerging from the long years of cultivation, opened his eyes and frowned slightly: "The Ancestor God Sect is looking for me?" He flipped his hand and retrieved a token—the token he received as an outer member of the Ancestor God Sect, later personally bestowed by the Ancestor God himself.

"To see the Ancestor God?"

Luo Feng was perplexed. If he were still of average strength, being summoned and ordered around by the Ancestor God Sect would be expected. But now, his status was extraordinary, and his power had been displayed in the previous war. Without some extraordinary circumstance... the Ancestor God Sect would not easily summon him. Furthermore, if they truly needed him, they should have sent an emissary, not summoned him directly.

"I spoke with the three Ancestor Gods of the Ancestor God Sect after the battle; none of them are arrogant individuals."

"Since they are summoning me... asking me to come... there must be a reason," Luo Feng reasoned.

At his level, standing at the pinnacle of the entire Original Universe, necessary respect was paramount between such powerful beings!

"Whoosh!"

Luo Feng vanished into thin air.

Ancestor God Sect, Ancestor God Secret Realm, Purple Thorn Island.

The residence Luo Feng had occupied was still there. With a hazy light, a figure cloaked in a silver robe manifested—it was Luo Feng.

"It's been a long time since I visited Purple Thorn Island," Luo Feng surveyed his surroundings.

"Luo Feng!" A voice directly echoed in Luo Feng's ear. "Come to me for a meeting. I have something important regarding your human race... to inform you of."
