Temptation

“Go,” Chaos City Lord said. “You all have maps of Jinzhi World, so Luo Feng won’t need to guide you this time. I hope you all pass the army’s selection.” Each of the Universe Masters was extremely respectful, flying out of the Star Tower one by one. Following closely, this group of Universe Masters from the Hong Alliance successively boarded their respective Palace True Treasures, or even flew directly, penetrating the cosmic membrane one by one to enter Jinzhi World. As time passed, in the void outside Jinzhi World, teams from various factions began to return, but Luo Feng’s Star Tower remained suspended motionlessly in the void. “Luo Feng?” Chaos City Lord turned to look at Luo Feng beside him. “No rush,” Luo Feng nodded with a smile. Just then— Whoosh! From the cosmic membrane of Jinzhi World in the distance, a silver spacecraft suddenly flew out, rapidly approaching. As it neared the Star Tower, it automatically shrank and flew directly inside. “What is this?” Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng, puzzled. “Didn’t I say I had quite a harvest in Jinzhi World?” Luo Feng turned to look beside him, seeing a Golden Horned Beast, its entire body gleaming with black light, walk in. “This time, I brought the harvest out.” “A harvest?” Chaos City Lord’s face lit up with joy. He knew that Luo Feng’s current authority was so immense that he could even annihilate all entering Universe Masters simultaneously... just how vast was this power? It was only natural that he would acquire ample treasures in Jinzhi World. However, Chaos City Lord had never known exactly how many treasures Luo Feng had acquired. “Ten sets of mechanical-type treasures! A total of one hundred sets of True God-tier weapons, armor, and the like.” Luo Feng didn’t hide it; there was no point in concealing it, as this was merely a tiny fraction compared to his immense military merits. “So many!” Chaos City Lord was greatly astonished. He knew Luo Feng had a large harvest, but this was simply too... “True God-tier treasures are Supreme True Treasures in our Universe Ocean. A hundred Supreme True Treasures?” Chaos City Lord couldn’t help but change expression. “This is too incredible. All other factions combined probably only have about a hundred Supreme True Treasures.” Luo Feng shook his head. “That was in the past. With the major factions entering Jinzhi World, the treasures in our Universe Ocean are destined to rapidly increase.” “Indeed,” Chaos City Lord nodded, then said solemnly, “With so many treasures, they must not be distributed recklessly. The race has its rules. Luo Feng, everything you’ve obtained is naturally under your discretion... if others want them, they must pay a certain price or make contributions.” Luo Feng nodded. “I have a plan. Of course, they only need to make a certain contribution.” The two of them now held the highest positions in the human race. Whatever rules governed humanity, they would both establish them. “Time to go back,” Luo Feng looked at the void outside, then controlled the Star Tower to fly outwards. Ever since he received his title and was granted the ability to ‘borrow the power of Jinzhi World’ by the Jinzhi God King, he had become the highest-ranking individual within Jinzhi World, apart from the God King who never emerged. Naturally, he would face no more troubles or complications within Jinzhi World, as with the power of Jinzhi World, he could even suppress Eternal True Gods! His focus could now entirely shift to the Universe Ocean, back to his race! However, keeping his Earthling true body in Jinzhi World served two purposes: first, to adapt to circumstances and appropriately exchange for treasures, and second, if he were to suddenly disappear, it would be fine for a short period, but a prolonged absence might cause the four great generals and other high-ranking officials of Jinzhi World to anxiously search for him. “The Tomb Mausoleum Boat returns!” “Wuqishen has also been brought out. After all, there’s no need to use Wuqishen in Jinzhi World; I am already invincible there.” “The Golden Horned Beast clone also returns. Next, the dangers in the Universe Ocean are likely still considerable.” ... Luo Feng’s Earthling true body made preparations in Jinzhi World, awaiting the many powerhouses from the Purple Moon Holy Land Universe and the Allied Army faction to enter the army. However, merely flying and traveling to enter the army could take several months or even longer. Therefore, Luo Feng set the date for the ‘great sweep’ one year later! ... In the Primitive Universe’s Insectoid Territory. “Beast of Calamity?” “Such terrifying creatures actually exist.” The Insectoid Empress sat on her throne, frowning in thought. “We are completely unprepared this time, so there’s no need to rush. Even if we did, by the time we reached the mini-universe outside Jinzhi World, I fear the cosmic membrane would no longer be white.” “Prepare well.” “Fourth Epoch, enter.” “We must obtain enough treasures,” the Insectoid Empress mused. In truth, among the major factions of the Universe Ocean, while many Universe Masters entered, very few True Gods did. This was because every True God was a pillar of their respective race; their demise would lead to the collapse of their mini-universe and the death of all life within it. Thus, allowing True Gods to take risks naturally required extreme caution. They also harbored desires and plans, and the message conveyed by the Origin Will this time prompted them to make a decision. Some entered Jinzhi World this time. More, however, planned to enter Jinzhi World in the Fourth Epoch! ... In the ‘Primitive Secret Realm,’ the core of humanity’s territory in the Primitive Universe. “These mechanical-type treasures are truly miraculous. Their power is immense.” Chaos City Lord stood there, his entire body radiating golden light, with three pairs of golden wings on his back, exuding waves of oppressive aura. This was undoubtedly a mechanical-type treasure with an excellent appearance, and it was considered a superior piece among the many mechanical-type treasures Luo Feng had acquired in Wuqilou. “With this treasure, my strength can actually increase by two tiers,” Chaos City Lord shook his head. “No wonder the Origin Will is urging powerhouses from all sides to go to Jinzhi World.” “It’s also being forced,” Luo Feng said. “If not for the Beast of Calamity, we probably wouldn’t have discovered Jinzhi World at all.” “Indeed,” Chaos City Lord also nodded. On their way back from the Universe Ocean to the Primitive Universe, he had tested the power of the mechanical-type treasures and was naturally overjoyed. While other human Universe Masters might face some difficulty obtaining treasures, Luo Feng directly gifted Chaos City Lord a complete set of mechanical-type treasures: one soul Supreme True Treasure, one palace Supreme True Treasure, and one domain Supreme True Treasure. Chaos City Lord, aware of the impending crisis, did not refuse. “Luo Feng, your contributions to humanity are comparable to the Original Ancestor,” Chaos City Lord had said when he received these treasures on their return journey. “Teacher has always presided over the core of our race, protecting and managing it, allowing our race to continuously prosper and grow strong. That is the greatest merit,” Luo Feng had also said at the time. Back in the Primitive Universe, even with mechanical-type treasures, he could only exert peak Tier 6 combat power. Yet, Chaos City Lord was still immensely joyful over these treasures. “If Giant Axe had these treasures back then, it wouldn’t have...” Chaos City Lord sighed softly. “Teacher,” Luo Feng had just opened his mouth when he frowned and turned to look outside. Chaos City Lord also looked outside, puzzled. “It’s the three Ancestral Gods.” “Let’s go.” Whoosh! Whoosh! Both disappeared into thin air. Above the vast, endless Abyssal Sea in the Primitive Secret Realm stood three figures: the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect. Abyssal Sea Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord appeared together. “Three Ancestral Gods, what brings you here?” Chaos City Lord asked directly. The elderly Ancestral God among the three spoke, “Chaos, we are here by the command of the Origin Will, specifically for Lord Yinhe.” “For me?” Luo Feng frowned. The young Ancestral God directly stated, “Yes, according to the Origin Will’s command... although Lord Yinhe is merely a Universe Master, in terms of strength, he is the strongest in the Universe Ocean.” “The strongest in the Universe Ocean?” Chaos City Lord was greatly startled. It would be one thing if other powerhouses said this, but for it to be the will of the Origin Will, that was truly exaggerated. “With greater strength comes greater responsibility,” the young Ancestral God continued. “When crisis strikes, it naturally requires strong individuals to respond. Although we three previously told the major cosmic factions that Universe Masters should not confront the Beast of Calamity, that was for ordinary Universe Masters. Lord Yinhe, you are not among them.” The Two-Faced Ancestral God also said, “Lord Yinhe, you are the strongest in our Universe Ocean. If you cannot, then who can confront the Beast of Calamity?” The elderly Ancestral God also said, “Moreover, Lord Yinhe is merely a Universe Master, possessing several clones. Even if one perishes, he can quickly condense another clone using the endless Abyssal Sea. There would be no harm, only the loss of some treasures. At this critical juncture of countless races rising and falling in the Universe Ocean, Lord Yinhe, with your clones and unparalleled strength, you are the most suitable in our Universe Ocean to confront the Beast of Calamity.” “No need to flatter me,” Luo Feng scoffed. “The so-called strongest in the Universe Ocean is only for now. Many of the universe’s ultimate powerhouses haven’t obtained mechanical-type treasures yet. Once they do, and their strength skyrockets, my position as the strongest might not be so stable.” “As for the Beast of Calamity?” Luo Feng shook his head. “Whether I should go or not, I have my own plans.” The elderly Ancestral God directly stated, “Confronting the Beast of Calamity will earn you boundless great merits, allowing you to make numerous demands of the Primitive Universe. If your contributions are great enough, even the ‘Original Ancestor’ of your human race, who is suppressed by the Primitive Universe, can be released.” “What!” Chaos City Lord exclaimed. “Release the Original Ancestor!” Luo Feng was both shocked and delighted. The young Ancestral God continued, “Yes, the greater the merit, the higher the conditions you can naturally propose. Releasing the Original Ancestor... is even more difficult than demanding mechanical-type treasures from the Primitive Universe. The Origin Will stated that once the Original Ancestor is released, he can immediately break through to a higher tier. By rights, he should never be released, and would be destroyed along with the Primitive Universe when it perishes. However, the Beast of Calamity threatens countless races, and the merit of slaying the Beast of Calamity can allow the Original Ancestor to emerge and gain freedom.” Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord exchanged glances. “If Lord Yinhe has any doubts, you may come to our Ancestral God Secret Realm and inquire with us three. We can directly communicate with the Origin Will and inform you of everything,” the young Ancestral God said. “We won’t stay any longer.” The three Ancestral Gods smiled faintly, then directly tore through the void and quickly vanished.
