Luo Feng watched this scene with a smile. Long ago, with his help, his wife had already escaped the shackles of the Eternal Body and seized another frame. Over the long span of time, Xu Xin had long since become an Undying God, but after achieving immortality, she had lost all motivation for further cultivation.
In truth, with the treasures Luo Feng provided, if Xu Xin had applied herself even a little, becoming a Universe Venerable would have been no issue. But Xu Xin herself was not diligent enough in her cultivation endeavors.
"I knew you would come to this star field. A quick check of your coordinates confirmed it," Xu Xin said, sending the six children off to play elsewhere before walking toward Luo Feng herself. The six children knew Father God and Mother God needed to converse and did not disturb them.
Luo Feng nodded, "They are created by me, they are also my children. I came to see them." "You have so many children—not just flesh-and-blood life forms, but also energy-based and plant-based ones too," Xu Xin joked.
"It's just a pity," Luo Feng sighed softly. "They cannot reproduce." "The life you create, with just a casual effort, easily becomes Universe level," Xu Xin couldn't help but say. "If you were deliberate, the life you created could easily become Sector Lords. If they could also reproduce... then what space would be left for the other races in the universe? They would all be occupied by the life you created." Luo Feng nodded.
He understood that when he could easily create powerful life forms, these beings lacked the ability to propagate.
"Hmm?" A flash of inspiration struck Luo Feng's mind.
Seeing Luo Feng's expression, Xu Xin instantly knew what he was thinking.
A moment later, a hint of joy surfaced on Luo Feng's face.
"What is it?" Xu Xin finally asked urgently.
"I thought of it, I thought of it," Luo Feng was incredibly excited and expectant.
"What's going on?" Xu Xin couldn't help but inquire.
Luo Feng's eyes glowed, and he quickly said, "Both I and the Master of Nine Nether have the talent for creation. We can create life forms one after another, but although the life we create is powerful, it cannot reproduce on its own.
Because granting life the ability to reproduce is far more complex and difficult. My Godly Body progress has stalled these years, and it's hard to advance further; I don't even know how to proceed anymore!"
"Now I have thought of it."
"Life, Reproduction!"
Luo Feng exclaimed excitedly, "I want to create life that can reproduce. This is difficult; I need to research the composition of life more thoroughly. I believe that once I understand it more deeply, it will definitely help the progress of my Godly Body."
Even in the ancient civilizations, those who reached 90,000 times the life gene level to become True Gods were rare. Although the Duan Dong River lineage recorded some methods for the "God Power Route," Luo Feng was currently at 60,000 times the gene level, and most of those methods were useless beyond that point. Some might be applicable, but the conditions for implementation were entirely lacking.
Recently, Luo Feng had actually hit a bottleneck, forced to bury himself in studying the life structure diagrams of True Gods. But now, he had found another path.
Studying the life structure diagrams while simultaneously creating life forms capable of reproduction—these two methods assisting each other would surely increase the speed of success dramatically.
Reaching 90,000 times on the God Power Route was far more arduous than becoming a Void True God, and the time required was equally immense—hundreds of millions of epochs... was merely an instant.
Starting from the Third Epoch of the Primal Chaos World's emergence, the large-scale annihilation of the allied forces and the Purple Moon Holy Land's experts shocked all powers in the Sea of Universe. The allied forces dissolved automatically, and their members migrated and retreated one by one. The Purple Moon Holy Land also vanished from the public eye, ceasing its provocations against humanity. Humans rapidly expanded, occupying nearly half the territory of the Original Universe and entering an era of great development.
In the Sixth Epoch, news spread that the First True Master of the God Eye Clan had obtained an artifact of the Mechanical Race. This made the major powers of the Sea of Universe deeply covetous, and they all intensified their struggles within the Sea of Universe, striving to seize Mechanical Race artifacts. However, to obtain such artifacts, one first needed to belong to the Special Corps, which trapped many factions. Otherwise, those major powers who had exchanged merit for treasures could have acquired Mechanical Race artifacts long ago.
In the Seventh Epoch, Luo Feng encountered the First True Master of the God Eye Clan in the Sea of Universe. The First True Master proactively challenged Luo Feng because he had learned from the Three Ancestral Gods that Luo Feng was considered the strongest being in the Original Universe by its source will. The First True Master did not believe this.
This battle had no spectators.
Only Luo Feng and the First True Master fought. Remember, before Luo Feng rose to prominence, the First True Master was already the strongest in the Sea of Universe (not counting the suppressed Primordial True God). Now, having obtained the secret technique for burning God Power and possessing a Mechanical Race artifact, how powerful his combat strength was!
The outside world never knew the result of this battle, only that such a confrontation occurred.
Following this battle, the God Eye Clan immediately befriended humanity, and the First True Master became a rare good friend of Luo Feng.
The outside world didn't know, but Luo Feng himself knew clearly: in reality, that battle should be considered a draw!
In terms of direct offensive power, the First True Master of the God Eye Clan, the "God Eye True Master," held the advantage. But Luo Feng's Godly Body had the upper hand, and his advantage in close combat and evasion was even greater. The two fought to a standstill.
Of course, if they had fought long-term, sacrificing Godly Body mass, Luo Feng would certainly have won. But the God Eye True Master could simply leave using his ultimate treasure palace.
Therefore, the two were indeed evenly matched.
Adding to this, the threat of the "World Beasts" loomed over all the strong beings, so Luo Feng and the First True Master merely sparred. Both understood that in facing the World Beasts, both held significant roles.
"I can easily kill True Gods, but someone like the First True Master, who has the secret technique to burn God Power and possesses Mechanical Race artifacts... I might not be able to withstand. Even using 'One Thought Void,' I might not be able to suppress him," Luo Feng mused to himself. He had not used the Wu Shen Wings in that fight.
Because the 'One Thought Void' ability of the Wu Shen Wings was for restraining enemies. The God Eye True Master's frontal attack power was already formidable; even restrained, he would likely still be slightly stronger than Luo Feng. The God Eye True Master did not evade at all, and even if restrained, he still wouldn't dodge.
So, using 'One Thought Void' would only make the First True Master more embarrassed.
In the Twelfth Epoch, the Star Master Beichi also acquired a Mechanical Race artifact.
In the years that followed, through the strenuous efforts of various True Gods in the Sea of Universe, some perished, while some of the extremely powerful gradually obtained Mechanical Race artifacts. After undergoing the tempering and training of the "Legions," the experts in the Sea of Universe clearly began to shine. The potential, comprehension, and other qualities of the experts in the Sea of Universe were clearly superior by more than one level.
In the Ninety-First Epoch, a piece of good news brought Luo Feng immense joy: his teacher, Venerable Zhenyan, finally broke through and became a new Universe Master. This was the third Universe Master born in humanity since Luo Feng inherited the Duan Dong River lineage.
In the 1,003rd Epoch, although the human race occasionally birthed a Universe Master, no new ultimate expert had ever emerged. But in this epoch, the second Universe Ultimate Expert finally appeared—True God Peng Gong!
The breakthrough of Master Peng Gong into True God status was indeed beyond the expectations of the outside world and surprised the experts of the human race itself.
Because, under the deliberate efforts of the Original Universe's source will, the Three Ancestral Gods were not tight-lipped, leading to the news that "Luo Feng is the strongest being in the Sea of Universe" gradually spreading, especially since the result of the fight between the First True Master of the God Eye Clan and Luo Feng was unknown. The First True Master of the God Eye Clan never denied Luo Feng's status as the strongest, which seemed to further solidify this fact.
All races believed...
Luo Feng should be the second True God humanity would produce; if not Luo Feng, it should be Chaos's junior brother, the "Master of Darkness."
Unexpectedly, it was neither Luo Feng nor Darkness, but the always low-key Master Peng Gong.
In the 3,402nd Epoch, Luo Feng, who had been diligently studying the life structure diagrams in his effort to create life that could reproduce, finally succeeded in creating the first species of life capable of reproduction. Its appearance naturally resembled humans, but this created life was extremely weak; even when fully grown, they were weaker than the Earthlings of the past.
But at least, they could reproduce!
Luo Feng achieved his first breakthrough. Only three epochs later, his Godly Body made progress, first breaking through from 60,000 times to 69,000 times, and then continuing to break through successively until reaching 72,000 times—a new bottleneck.
In the 13,000th Epoch, a new Universe Master, Hong, was born into the lineage of the Earthlings!
Hong, this low-profile, peerless genius of the Earthling lineage whose light had been overshadowed by Luo Feng, became a Universe Master after only taking a little over ten thousand epochs, guided by the inheritance of the ancient civilization. If Luo Feng hadn't existed, he absolutely would have been considered among the top geniuses of humanity.
At this point, the number of Universe Masters in the human race had reached thirty-two.
The Earthling lineage now had two Universe Masters, Luo Feng and Hong. As for Universe Venerables, there were as many as nine, including Thunder God.
In the 39,000th Epoch, Hu Yanbo, after being integrated into the core of the Virtual Universe Company and receiving guidance from the ancient civilization's inheritance, finally stepped into the ranks of Universe Venerables.
In fact, before the ancient civilization existed, those who managed to become King or Marquis Undying were all exceptionally talented. Especially Hu Yanbo, a loner who had no one to guide him, even creating some secret techniques on his own. His innate talent was originally high; now, not only did he have the guidance of the strong, but he also had the assistance of the ancient civilization, so his breakthrough was normal.
After all, the probability of a Universe Venerable emerging within the human race was currently far too high.
For the large group of experts who were previously stuck at the peak of King level, with the help of the ancient civilization's inheritance, numerous strong individuals had broken through over these tens of thousands of epochs, causing the number of human Universe Venerables to exceed fifty thousand!
The 39,800th Epoch.
Luo Feng received news from Babata: the trace of the Demon Hand King, Sarop, had been discovered. This stunned Luo Feng. This Demon Hand King had caused Hu Yanbo's death back then, and after Luo Feng became powerful, he had personally killed Sarop. He never expected that the Demon Hand King was still alive.
However.
Hu Yanbo, who had long since been resurrected and had become a Universe Venerable, personally went to hunt down Sarop. It was rumored that the reason the Demon Hand King exposed himself was because the human forces were too strong. The territory occupied by the human race itself accounted for half of the core region of the Original Universe, and the human vassals—the alien races within the Hong Alliance—occupied the majority of the remaining territory of the Original Universe!
It could be said that humanity's invisible influence enveloped almost the entire Original Universe.
Although Sarop had hidden far away, many experts who knew him back then still discovered him when he was wandering outside. An exploring human expert quickly confirmed his identity as Sarop. The Demon Hand King was publicly known to be dead, so how could he be alive? When the news returned, it naturally attracted Luo Feng's attention.
However, this time, it was Hu Yanbo who went to pursue Sarop. It was rumored that there were quite a few twists and turns in the process, taking Hu Yanbo more than three epochs before he finally slew Sarop.
