In the vast starry sky, two planets that seem to have colorful lights are orbiting the star.
Viewed from outer space, the two planets seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, one was faintly light green, and the other was faintly blue-green.
That blue planet is naturally the capital of the Canglan Empire.
The other light green planet was named "Jiuzhou Star". As the core of Jiuzhou Company's expansion of its offline business territory, it is now the most prosperous commercial planet in the surrounding star fields!
Even immortal gods, world masters and other beings can find the rare treasures they need here.
The subsidiaries of Virtual Universe Company are divided into third-level subsidiaries, second-level subsidiaries, first-level subsidiaries and special-level subsidiaries.
The standard for measuring grades is the company's net assets, which are 1,000 Hunyuan units, 100,000 Hunyuan units, 10 million Hunyuan units, and 1 billion Hunyuan units!
The Business Department of the Virtual Universe Company is an important department as famous as the Military Department. Once it reaches the second-level subsidiary, the manager will be qualified to officially become a core member of the Virtual Universe Company. He will have a residence in the "Doomsday Zone" of Yuxiang Mountain in the Virtual Universe, as well as a residence in the Doomsday Secret Realm, and will be eligible to apply to go to the Doomsday Secret Realm.
The first-level subsidiaries and special-level subsidiaries are members of the "Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth" and the "Secret Realm of Taichu" respectively.
The special point is that these core members of the business department do not have the right to comprehend the Chaos Monument, cannot perform cultivation tasks, and do not need to participate in qualification battles. Promotion or elimination depends solely on the company's grade standards.
When Jiuzhou Company was first acquired by Virtual Universe Company and held a 51% controlling stake, it was only a second-tier subsidiary.
However, as Lin Yan's influence grew, the major cosmic country branches were willing to promote it, and the user scale of "Kunlun" grew wildly. Zi Dian Hou evaluated based on the data of the Qianwu branch and asserted that within 20,000 years, "Kunlun" would be ranked among the top ten virtual games.
Therefore...the profits it can obtain are extremely astonishing, and its valuation has long exceeded the threshold of a "super-grade subsidiary".
The two core members that Lin Yan wanted at the beginning, Wen Zhian and Xu Xin, are now members of the Taichu Secret Realm.
Although there is no need for them to go to the Taichu Secret Realm to practice, the welfare benefits in the Taichu District are very different from those in the Doomsday District. The Doomsday District only allows them to live in a tube-shaped building and be allocated an apartment, while the Taichu District has a special and exclusive place for practice, a unique place for study, etc.
After Luo Feng was sent out as a domain master and returned to Qianwu Universe, the planet he chose to live on was Jiuzhou. The Virtual Universe Company would transform the planets where geniuses live to ensure absolute safety on the planet.
It can be considered as a reasonable use of the rules to fleece the company.
…
Jiuzhou Star is a planet with a strong business atmosphere and the strictest supervision on order. There are a total of 108 extremely magnificent cities. Each city has a Universe Galaxy Bank. The entire planet also has a large branch of the Virtual Universe Company.
However, the city in the center does not have any commercial atmosphere. This is the only living area on Jiuzhou Star. People who can live here are either rich or noble. Even the most ordinary house can easily buy a dozen life planets in some galaxies.
In the core area, there is a luxurious manor, which is the residence of the new supervisory envoy of Qianwu Branch, "Luo Feng".
Practice secret room.
Luo Feng stroked the black metal plate in his hand and frowned slightly.
"With my current authority, I am unable to find any information about this substance. Logically, it should be extremely special."
At this time, the clones of the Demon Killing Clan had already left the Earth and returned to Jiuzhou Star.
During this time on Earth, the Demon Killer Clan's clone has been studying the metal plate, but could not see anything special about it.
“Even the memory of the golden-horned beast passed down from generation to generation cannot be found. This metal plate is definitely not ordinary.” Luo Feng stared at it.
It’s baby!
Absolutely a treasure!
"In that case, let's try using telekinesis, maybe there will be something special." Luo Feng had an idea.
As soulless energy creatures, the Demon Killing Clan has no concept of telekinesis at all.
Tsk tsk…
The invisible, colorless, and extremely thin thread of telekinesis gently swept across the black metal plate.
"Hmm?" Luo Feng's expression changed.
The telekinetic thread did not "touch" the metal plate at all, as if the metal plate was air. Instead, it penetrated directly into the interior of the black metal plate... and felt layers of obstruction.
"What's inside?"
Luo Feng controlled the telekinesis.
Hundreds of mental power threads were like embroidery needles, trying hard to penetrate into the black metal plate when they encountered layers of obstacles.
When he was unable to go any deeper, Luo Feng relied on the telekinesis of the master-level soul of the inner world of the proto-nuclear core to release it. His ninth-order domain master-level human body was able to withstand it without collapsing.
moment--
The obstacles inside the black metal plate in Luo Feng's hand were penetrated layer by layer.
“Boom…”
"My child." A majestic voice rang in Luo Feng's mind, and instantly his consciousness fell into the illusion contained in that voice.
Following that mysterious voice, illusions appeared one after another. Even though Luo Feng kept breaking through the illusions, more and more illusions were created, making him feel like he was trapped in a bottomless abyss and couldn't climb out of it.
for a long time--
It was not until nearly ten thousand illusions were broken that the endless chain of illusions finally collapsed automatically.
Luo Feng's body trembled, his face looked grim, and cold sweat covered his forehead.
"Shit, I've never encountered this kind of illusion before." He gritted his teeth, still feeling scared as he looked at the black metal plate in his hand.
Generally, the secret methods of illusions are aimed directly at people's hearts, making people fall into illusions and unable to extricate themselves based on their desires, inner hearts, etc., and this is purely an illusion that bullies people!
It was like an immortal god teasing an apprentice, and there was no room for resistance.
"It seems like there have been some changes." Luo Feng took a deep breath, and his mental power continued to penetrate deeper into the black metal. Suddenly, text messages continued to merge into Luo Feng's mental power and were understood by Luo Feng.
After a moment, the text message transmission ended.
…
At the same time, in an extremely remote, dangerous and terrifying place, deep in the endless air currents, a lonely palace emitting faint green light was suspended in it.
Main hall.
"Hmm?" The towering old man who was more than 90,000 kilometers tall stood in the center of the hall. He suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction. It seemed that he saw Luo Feng on the Jiuzhou Star through endless time and space.
"Luo Feng... the final candidate from Earth who will inherit the Nine Tribulations Secret Code has appeared." The tall old man was wearing seemingly ordinary green armor, with transparent horns on his forehead, and an endless aura enveloped the entire hall.
When the result came out, this powerful alien no longer paid attention to this matter. The Heavenly Soul Crystal can only be inherited by one person, and unless Luo Feng dies, there will be no more variables.
Only when Luo Feng successfully recognized the Star Tower as his master, would he be qualified to become the leader of the Earth lineage and his third disciple. Before that, he was just the third candidate and was not worth the Hermit's efforts.
He ordered: "Puti, in the future, the task of guiding him to recognize the Star Tower as its master will be left to you."
The Star Tower is the most dangerous place in the extraterritorial battlefield. Candidates must at least be able to wear the royal armor to have a chance to enter it. If they are only at the realm master level, they will definitely need the subsequent content of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Book", which requires Puti to arrange and guide.
The universe is so vast, how can there be so many coincidences?
Puti was sitting on one side at this time and said respectfully: "Yes, teacher."
The towering old man looked down at him, and his voice boomed, penetrating deep into Puti's heart: "Do you still prefer Lin Yan?"
Puti Lian bowed: "Teacher, I have no intention of disobeying you. With your vision, you will definitely see things more deeply than I do!"
That being said, the underlying meaning is actually quite obvious.
Compared to Luo Feng, Lin Yan has advantages in all aspects, even his character is impeccable.
In Puti's opinion, this is the most outstanding person born on Earth after billions of years of waiting, and no one can compare to him except Shelinyan.
Puti also expects that the final result will be Lin Yan.
He felt that with Lin Yan's speed of progress, he might begin to recognize the Star Tower as his master in a few years, once again proving whether this was something that could be achieved by humans.
Instead of seeking an illusory hope during the long years of waiting.
However, matters like this were naturally decided by the teacher, and he had no right to comment.
"I know that the human race trusts this peerless genius more, and this idea has also influenced you." The towering old man said in a low voice, "So you think Luo Feng is not as good as Lin Yan, but... you are wrong."
Puti was stunned.
Where did he go wrong?
Could it be that Luo Feng has some talent in other areas that he doesn't know about?
"Special life clone? The degree of conformity with the laws that defy the heavens? It's important, but not the most important." The towering old man said, "With the Nine Tribulations Secret Book, why should I care about his talent?"
Puti's eyes suddenly lit up.
He was only concerned with weighing the pros and cons of Lin Yan and Luo Feng, and indeed did not consider this point.
The towering old man said: "What I need is a disciple with a strong will, a disciple who can successfully accept the inheritance of life and death. As long as someone can do it, no matter who is from the Earth Lineage, as long as he can do this, he will be the leader of the Earth Lineage."
"From the moment he became my disciple, he is qualified to be among the super-powerful people in the universe! Because the two treasures I prepared for him are the Tribulation Armor and the Star Tower!"
The towering old man shook his head: "If he can't walk the road of life and death, he is doomed to fall. But if he can recognize the master of the Star Tower, how can he be inferior to any genius in this vast universe?"
"This Heavenly Soul Crystal was clearly placed around Lin Yan's family. In terms of strength, Lin Yan was also stronger, but it was eventually discovered by Luo Feng, obtained by Luo Feng, and inherited by Luo Feng. This proves that... Lin Yan did not have this luck, and did not seize this opportunity."
After hearing the words of the majestic old man, Puti suddenly became enlightened.
It turns out this is what the teacher mentioned before, the “value of choice”.
In this matter, Lin Yan had several opportunities to seize, but they were eventually obtained by Luo Feng, so... even though Luo Feng is not as good as Lin Yan in all aspects, from this moment on, his life has infinite possibilities.
How powerful is the Nine Tribulations Secret Book?
Luo Feng is an ordinary human being now, but after practicing the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex, he can transcend the rules of the universe and become a unique and special life-like being that defies the heavens in the future!
Once you recognize the Star Tower as your master, you will know the most powerful treasure that no human race has, and the Flying Palace is an even more precious treasure. In addition, you will become the core disciple of your teacher, the most powerful being in the universe.
What kind of opportunity is this?
No matter how talented Lin Yan is, it is not enough to make up for the gap, and he is destined to be left behind by his former companion!
Puti even felt a trace of sympathy in his heart.
"If he knew what a great opportunity he had missed, he would have lived in pain and regret for the rest of his life."
Puti sighed: "As long as he passes this last hurdle, Luo Feng will surely soar to the sky, and even... even the many halos that Lin Yan has worked hard to obtain over the years will be replaced by him one by one."
"This is the value of choice, and also the price of choice!"
He deeply understood how powerful the teacher in front of him was. Even he himself, who was originally just an immortal god, became the master of the universe after being accepted as a servant by the teacher for endless years. Puti didn't even dare to imagine how far Luo Feng would go in the future once he really became the leader of the Earth lineage!
The Star Tower alone is enough to make you invincible in the world.
Lin Yan's talents were indeed amazing, but in front of this, they just made him feel pale and powerless.
The gap is really too big!
"Back off." The towering old man's voice boomed.
"Yes, teacher." Puti respectfully left the hall.
This powerful alien figure flashed and sat on the throne in the hall, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
The explanation he gave to Puti before certainly made some sense, but the core question was never answered, which was... why he interfered in the first place.
This matter shouldn't have been his concern.
If Puti's idea was true, during the more than 60 years that Lin Yan had been on Earth, he should have already arranged the Heavenly Soul Crystal into Lin Yan's hands. Wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone?
Why bother about the value of choice?
"It's okay if he is not the final successor."
The hermit narrowed his eyes and said, "On Earth, the original universe will endowed humans with the strongest bloodline that can reproduce, and this bloodline happens to have a special connection with the stars."
"At the planetary level, you can easily move freely in the star, and obtain the core material of the top-level origin treasure 'Light Network Crystal'. During this time, the original universe once again gave me the talent of clones."
"After that, he left the Earth to venture out, and easily obtained the inheritance treasure of a peak realm master, and even bred the special life green line devouring insect into an avatar."
"I don't know what happened after he entered the Virtual Universe Company, but judging from his situation, he must have encountered many good fortunes to achieve today's results in such a short period of time."
The towering old man thought of this and shook his head: "Even the Ancestral God Religion, which is favored by the original will of the universe, has never had such amazing luck!"
Opportunities are essential on the road to becoming a strong person. Every super strong person who has come this far has had various amazing opportunities.
But when it comes to Lin Yan's situation, it is no longer a simple experience that can be described. Anyone who sees it will be shocked.
"The original universe represents the origin of life and has infinite possibilities." Zuo Shanke thought to himself, "Any kind of life can be born. I can guide the birth of Yan Shen and the Earth. How difficult is it for the original will of the original universe to create a Lin Yan?"
His heart sank slightly. "Although the art of reincarnation is a secret art allowed by the Supreme Rules, this is not the Origin Continent after all. I have retained my previous memories, my realm is extremely high, and my will is extremely strong, so the Supreme Rules restrict me, and the Origin Will is always watching me, never relaxing for a moment."
"I have always been afraid to give the original will any leverage. This Lin Yan is most likely a plot by the original will against me. I only know a little about the supreme rules. Once I accidentally touch the supreme rules, the original universe will definitely take the opportunity to suppress me."
In fact.
As the reincarnation of the God King, the original will is extremely afraid of him, because if he is allowed to grow, with the will of the God King level, he can easily take over the original universe.
Therefore, he was restricted everywhere in the original universe, and the original will regarded him as the biggest enemy. Zuo Shanke didn't even dare to fight with anyone at all, and was very afraid of the supreme rules.
As for this choice, he had never considered Lin Yan at all, but out of the pride of the God King, this situation eventually came about.
If it were Luo Feng, there would naturally be nothing much to say.
But if it was Lin Yan, Zuo Shanke would be wary and want to take the opportunity to find out the reason behind it.
Of course, the idea of ​​killing Lin Yan is impossible.
Not to mention doing it himself, he wouldn't even think about it. If there was something he didn't know, and there was an original will watching him all the time, he wouldn't be able to hide anything at all, and he might be completely suppressed by the original universe.
However, since the final result is Luo Feng, there is nothing to worry about.
Just like what I said to Puti before.
If you cannot recognize the Star Tower as your master, you are doomed.
Being able to recognize the Star Tower as his master is an incredible fortune. It would be a piece of cake to defeat Lin Yan.
This is him...his most basic confidence as the God King of Jin.
…
Milky Way, Earth.
A quiet courtyard room.
"I didn't expect that you would come to me for this matter." Lin Yan sat cross-legged in front of the pavilion, sipping the fragrant tea. After he put down the teacup, he transmitted his voice through telepathy.
Luo Feng said solemnly: "What I said is true!"
"After I brought the metal plate back, I finally discovered the secret. I got a very mysterious cultivation manual from it. It has more than 30,000 words in total. The whole book is incomplete, but its content is a secret method to make the body's genes evolve actively!"
"As long as you practice this heaven-defying secret method, even after reaching your limit, you can still actively practice and promote your body's evolution. I got this in front of your house. It is not reasonable for me to hide it from you."
Luo Feng looked serious.
Throw me a wooden peach, and I will repay you with a jade. It is not a repayment, but a token of our everlasting friendship!
Luo Feng saw Lin Yan's help and attitude towards him, so after obtaining this mysterious secret book, he first practiced to confirm its authenticity, and then immediately asked the Demon Killing Clan clone to return to Earth with the metal plate to teach this mysterious secret book to Lin Yan.
He knew that if he didn't say it, no one would know about it. This secret book that could promote the evolution of the body against the will of heaven and transcend the rules of the universe was absolutely invaluable. No matter what, it must not be leaked, otherwise it would inevitably bring disaster.
But at the very least, Lin Yan cannot be concealed.
This is also his principle in life.
Luo Feng said: "The first level of this secret book can increase the life gene level by three times. It will definitely be of great use to you. I will teach you the secret method now."
Lin Yan looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then laughed.
Luo Feng looked at this scene, feeling somewhat confused.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Luo Feng, thank you for telling me this."
Even if Luo Feng didn't say it, he could still understand it. But the fact that he came here made Lin Yan even more relieved, because it meant that he didn't misjudge him.
Of course he knew it was true, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically reminded people to communicate using telekinesis instead of normal verbal communication.
"This is what should be done." Luo Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"There are some things you may not know." Lin Yan shook his head. "You are now a member of the original secret realm master level. It is high, but it is definitely not as high as my authority. After all, you have not really come into contact with the upper echelons of the human race."
He stood up suddenly.
"The special opportunity you have now is enough to violate the laws of the universe. This kind of secret method is far more against the will of heaven than you can imagine!" Lin Yan said solemnly, "Don't tell anyone about this matter, and it is impossible to teach it to anyone."
"Why?" Luo Feng was shocked.
Lin Yan said: "This secret method violates the laws of the universe, but it is not suppressed by the laws of the universe. There must be other strange things in it. But if you tell others about it, their memories will be directly erased by the laws of the universe."
Luo Feng was secretly shocked when he heard this.
Erase memory?
But how can I practice this heaven-defying secret method?
He couldn't help but think of the metal plate. He had survived the test of the illusion, and all the information in it had been integrated into his own mental power. At this moment, the metal plate was just an empty shell.
Could it be because of the peculiarity of this metal plate?
Luo Feng didn't quite believe it, but finally decided to give it a try.
When he first said this, Lin Yan looked very interested, but soon, his brows slightly frowned.
"Huh?" Lin Yan was very sensitive to time. He of course understood that he had erased this part of his memory and could not recall what Luo Feng had said at all.
He smiled and didn't take it too seriously.
"I am where I am today because of my own foundation. You are lucky to have obtained this secret book. Don't worry about it."
After Lin Yan made his choice, he would no longer worry about the gains and losses.
In fact, he had already sorted out the gains and losses and didn't care about the heaven-defying "Nine Tribulations Secret Book" at all.
Although the "Nine Tribulations Secret Book" is good, its limit is 10081 times the perfect gene. Even if one reaches the perfect gene after practicing the first level, the following contents will be of no use at all.
Compared with the "Golden Framework", its advantage is that it works quickly. After all, it is multiplication. The first two levels are enough for the green-line worm to achieve perfect genes. If it is complete, it is enough to make all of Lin Yan's original clones achieve perfect genes, and it does not require too much effort.
The Golden Framework is much more difficult to improve, but the impact is more far-reaching, the potential is greater, it takes more time, and it is more difficult...which is actually not a problem at all.
After he figured it out, Lin Yan felt that there was really no need to practice the Nine Tribulations Secret Book or become a disciple of Zuo Shan Ke.
In the original novel, Luo Feng was qualified to use weapons, generals' armor, king's armor, etc. only after he practiced the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex, which gave him the power of a hundred thousand times that of a Realm Lord. Therefore, he was able to possess the invincible strength to be crowned a king during his time as a Realm Lord.
Lin Yan has the "parasitic" talent of the green-lined phagocyte, and after being possessed by the immortal plant life, he is even more capable than that.
If you become the disciple of Zuo Shan Ke, he will teach you but not the secret techniques. He does not care about life or death and only provides you with resources and treasures. The two treasures he has prepared are the Jie Jia and the Xing Chen Tower.
Jiejia, the ultimate treasure armor, is now in the hands of Yandi, the lord of the universe of Yanshen clan. One needs to be at least immortal to get it back.
The Star Tower can only be taken away by at least a Universe Venerable. Although it is a weapon of the God King, in the primitive universe, there is no essential difference between it and the most powerful treasures of other flying palaces, except for the aspect of guarding the soul.
In other words, even if he succeeded in becoming his disciple, he could only think about these two treasures for the time being.
But--
Lin Yan was destined to quickly skip the Immortal level, and when he could achieve a breakthrough at the peak of Realm Lord, he would soon be able to reach the level of Universe Lord!
Regardless of the improvement of the "Golden Framework" during this period, his green-line worm-eater clone is still directly the top cosmic overlord divine body!
If the secret techniques and treasures can keep up, he will be an extremely powerful existence even among the top overlords of the universe.
Even without the Tribulation Armor and the Star Tower, with this kind of strength plus the function of chance, the treasures that can be obtained will certainly not be too bad. This is the most basic case, without considering luck or whether there are extremely precious treasures in the upgrade rewards.
If you are luckier, it is possible to obtain precious treasures like Bijie Jia.
On the contrary, having such a divine teacher would cause Lin Yan a lot of trouble in the future.
Others may regard the chance function as the favor of the original universe's will, and the system upgrade rewards may include inexplicable items.
He has limited knowledge among the human race, the founder of the giant axe, the lord of chaos city, and even the legendary ancestor, and can fool people with any excuse.
Even if Lin Yan had ten courages, he would not dare to make up a story in front of a God King.
The most terrifying thing is that Lin Yan still doesn’t know the origin of the system. The worst case scenario is that he would pretend to be the descendant of one of the three monarchs of the Food Kingdom, and he would deliver it to his doorstep. That would be really Barbie Q!
certainly.
After all, this is not a big difficulty. Those benefits are still shocking, and are far from being the reason for him to give up the God King weapon "Star Tower" and the God King teacher Jin.
Such an opportunity might never come again in the original universe or even in the ocean of the universe, but Lin Yan finally controlled his desire and resolutely chose to give up.
Lin Yan was able to guess the reason why he had not encountered the Heavenly Soul Crystal in more than sixty years on Earth. However, such difficulty was not enough to discourage him. As long as he successfully recognized the Star Tower as his master, everything else would be trivial.
The real and most crucial reason is that he cannot have a clear conscience about this matter.
Forbidding desires goes against one's nature.
Doing things that you shouldn't do for the sake of desire is also against your nature.
In front of a divine weapon, he can still follow his heart. This is a great spiritual experience for Lin Yan.
Being able to maintain one's own understanding in the face of such temptation, to be extremely clear about desires, to see through the essence, to know what one wants, what one can die for, and what temptations one can resist. All of this has been realized in one's heart.
This is the state of mind.
Everything in the world is a practice of the mind.
The transformation of the soul is also Lin Yan’s greatest gain in this matter.
Although he has not yet truly understood the state of mind of "an infinite heart that embraces everything", he has now grasped some of the key points.
Lin Yan believes that one day, he will have the opportunity to truly step into it.
