Half a Year Later

"The universe is fair."

"It grants them an innate Eternal Body, but also ensures they can never cultivate or improve. If they wish to cultivate, they must abandon their original body and perform body possession," Babata said. "Although they cannot cultivate, Luo Feng, you can imagine the allure of an Eternal Body. For instance, some children of undying powerhouses are Universe-level, and their lifespan might only be 10 epochs. They would naturally be willing to have their children's souls acquire an Eternal Body."

Luo Feng nodded.

Even if one's strength cannot improve, living for 1000 epochs, which is 10,081,000 years, is still incredibly tempting.

"In the universe, undying powerhouses or powerful nations research the Eternal Bodies of those races through various methods. Finally, they extract a peculiar genetic substance from the Eternal Body. This substance is then sealed in 'Cold Silver,' forming that small silver plaque, which is also the extremely expensive 'Eternal Love' in the universe. After all, only one portion can be extracted from a single Eternal Body," Babata explained.

Luo Feng immediately understood...

Races born with Eternal Bodies are likely quite pitiable in the universe.

"In the universe, there are many powerful and influential beings."

"Lifespan is something countless people pursue."

"Body possession techniques are one way, but they are both precious and difficult to cultivate. Luo Feng, you were only able to perform body possession because your soul was modified by your teacher's 'Inheritance Soul Imprint' and you received his legacy," Babata said. "Obtaining and learning a body possession technique is no less difficult than acquiring a portion of 'Eternal Love'."

"Moreover, the body acquired through possession is usually weaker than one's original body," Babata added.

"Most importantly, body possession carries risks; you might even end up destroying yourself."

"How could it compare to 'Eternal Love'? A single portion of 'Eternal Love' can directly transform your original body into an 'Eternal Body'. Of course, once you become an Eternal Body, you can no longer cultivate," Babata said. "If you wish to cultivate, you must abandon the Eternal Body and enter another body."

"That peculiar genetic substance can only be extracted from naturally occurring Eternal Bodies. A modified Eternal Body like Xu Xin's cannot be extracted a second time," Babata stated.

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

That's right.

Otherwise, if someone with a modified Eternal Body lived for 10 million years and was nearing death, would they be able to have the genetic substance extracted again? That would be a pipe dream.

"Are you saying Xu Xin now has a lifespan of 1000 epochs?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, and her body is immortal. To kill her, you would have to destroy her soul," Babata replied. "Although 'Eternal Love' is precious, given your teacher's status, storing a few portions wouldn't be difficult. The fact that you wore 'Eternal Love' was actually arranged by your teacher before his death."

"Even if your body is shattered, the 'Eternal Love' can reconstruct your broken body, making it coalesce again. This is a life-saving ultimate move."

"However, I was worried that relying on 'Eternal Love' would make you complacent and hinder your growth. That's why I never told you about its effects."

"But I never expected that you would ultimately abandon your physical body and unleash a soul attack! 'Eternal Love' couldn't save you then."

Luo Feng smiled, letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise. Luo Feng knew very well that Xu Xin hadn't even become a Warrior; even with the help of plant spirits, Muya Jing, and countless other treasures, reaching the Planetary level would have been her absolute limit. But now, although she couldn't cultivate, she possessed an Eternal Body.

...

At Luo Feng's home in Mingyue Residential District, Yangzhou City.

Xu Xin sat at her desk, feeling a bit dazed.

"What's going on?" Xu Xin's mind was a mess.

Suddenly, a notification for a new email appeared on the open laptop screen. And strangely... the email opened automatically.

"Xu Xin, it's Luo Feng."

The first line of text in the email made Xu Xin pause, then frown slightly... She knew that many top figures on Earth had AI assistants, and Luo Feng did too! It was hard for her to believe letters, calls, or videos, as her brother Xu Gang had done something similar before.

"I know you're skeptical, but you just attempted suicide, and the peace charm I gave you should have worked, so you're alive again. And that peace charm should have disappeared."

Xu Xin was startled, immediately touched her chest, and looked down...

Indeed, the peace charm was gone, only the pendant clasp remained. This filled Xu Xin with a mix of shock and pleasant surprise!

Knowing that she had just attempted suicide and was alive again, could it really be Luo Feng? Luo Feng wasn't dead?

"I know you're skeptical, but in six months, I should be home. Seven months at the latest."

"Alright, remember, don't do anything foolish again."

"Luo Feng."

After reading the email, Xu Xin felt as if her withered heart had been filled with a spiritual spring. Her once black-and-white world suddenly became vibrant and colorful, and the future was instantly filled with hope!

"Maybe it's true, maybe it's true." The fact that she had died and come back to life made Xu Xin more inclined to believe it. "Six months, seven months at the latest?"

"I need to tell Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, and Luo Hua, this good news," Xu Xin said, extremely excited.

...

That day, after Luo Feng's family saw the email, although they were all startled by Xu Xin's suicide attempt and spoke of her, the content of the email filled the entire family with hope. Despite suspecting it might be an AI system's fabrication, they still waited for six months later.

...

March 9, 2061, evening.

As night fell, Luo Feng's family was at home, eating dinner, their laughter filling the air.

"Mom and Dad, please stop nagging. I rarely come home for dinner, and you're already pressuring me. Alright, I'll tell you: Zhen Nan and I are getting our marriage certificate this summer," Luo Hua said with a chuckle. Luo Hua had recently acquired another house in Mingyue Residential District; after all, with his sister-in-law living there, it wasn't ideal for him to stay at home.

And given his status, getting a house was simple. Moreover, he was also a Warrior.

"That's more like it."

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan both smiled. The two babies in the stroller nearby were crawling around, giggling happily.

"Why isn't Xu Xin back yet?" Gong Xinlan couldn't help but glance outside.

"It's good that Xiao Xin is so dedicated to her work now," Luo Hongguo said with a smile. Gong Xinlan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Yes... if she attempted suicide again, it would be troublesome.

Suddenly—

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan's eyes instantly dimmed. Thump! Thump! Thump! The entire team of bodyguards in the courtyard outside collapsed directly to the ground, and the two nannies in the kitchen inside also instantly fell limp. Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan's heads were also lowered onto the table, motionless.

Absolute silence!

Only the sounds of the two babies remained in the villa.

"Who's there!" Luo Hua looked coldly outside.

"Mr. Luo, hello."

Two men in black suits walked in, smiling, as if entering their own home. One was Caucasian, and the other resembled a South Asian. The South Asian man smiled and said, "Don't worry, they were merely hypnotized by me instantly. I haven't killed them."

"Two council members have graced us with their presence. May I ask what brings you here?" Luo Hua said in a low voice.

"Nothing much, just taking some items that belong to Planetary-level Warriors, things ordinary mortals aren't qualified to use," the South Asian man said with a smile. "Don't worry, I won't kill anyone, but... I hope you remain calm. The moment you command that metal robot, I'll have no choice but to instantly make these people..."

"Boom!" The South Asian man made an exaggerated gesture. "Their souls will all explode."

"Sage Nihelu, you are currently the only Planetary-level Mental-Force Master on Earth. Is it necessary to do something like this?" Luo Hua said in a low voice. He knew very well that no matter how fast the metal robot was, it couldn't be faster than a Mental-Force Master's thought.

Sage Nihelu.

The Mental-Force Master genius from India, Sage Nihelu, who had recently broken through, became the only Planetary-level Mental-Force Master after Luo Feng and Easter's demise.

"Necessary, of course it's necessary," Sage said with a smile. "Mr. Luo, I presume you're somewhat aware of the current global situation. Do you truly believe... that your Luo Clan can remain untouched just because you possess the treasures Luo Feng left behind? Moreover, these treasures are wasted if they remain with your Luo Clan."

"Hmm, Muya Jing?" Sage revealed a smile. "Hidden beneath the basement floor?"

"Oh, 18 Muya Jing? And quite a few plant spirits? What a grand gesture, truly worthy of Luo Feng's legacy," Sage exclaimed.

Luo Hua's expression turned ashen.

He understood that the other party had found them using mental force.

"How is that metal robot controlled?" Sage asked, looking at Luo Hua.

"No one can control the metal robot," Luo Hua shook his head. "Not even I can. My brother's command to it was to protect the Luo Clan. It will forever obey my brother's orders."

"Oh."

Sage nodded slightly, understanding.

Suddenly—

The basement door opened automatically, and a safe floated out. Sage reached out and caught it.

"Thanks."

Sage smiled slightly. "Let me offer you a piece of advice: you can only possess treasures commensurate with your strength. Otherwise... tsk tsk. As for that robot, it's formidable. But it's still just a robot. Oh, and even if I'm hundreds of meters away, I can instantly destroy the souls of all your family members."

"So, don't do anything foolish."

"Weinuo, let's go." Sage turned and left, with Council Member Weinuo following beside him.

Luo Hua watched Council Member Weinuo and Sage depart, not daring to make any move.

The flying saucer fighter in the air was only 300 meters from his home. Even from inside the fighter, Sage could instantly kill everyone in the Luo Clan with a mental force attack.

"Bastard!"

Standing by the window, watching the flying saucer fighter depart, Luo Hua's face was grim.

Fortunately, he had divided the 60 Muya Jing into several portions and hidden them in different locations. And 18 Muya Jing were already quite shocking to those council members. After all, even Hong, Lei Shen, and others had only obtained a little over ten Muya Jing back then.

"What happened, what just happened?"

"What happened to me?"

The bodyguards, nannies, and Luo Hongguo's parents all woke up. Luo Hua quickly comforted his parents and the others, but didn't tell them the truth.

There was no other way...

Luo Hua could only endure. Against Warriors, the metal robot could intercept quickly! But against a Mental-Force Master's soul attack, the metal robot simply wouldn't have time to intercept.

...

The conversation and everything that transpired was monitored by the metal robot and automatically transmitted to Babata, so naturally, Luo Feng also learned of it!

"Weinuo? Sage Nihelu?"

The Golden Horned Beast, over 300 meters long, its dark golden eyes burning with fury in the surging seawater, said, "Babata, are you saying they're now with the Fifth Council Member, 'Atejina'? That coward Atejina has always been very low-key, not even showing his face during the Devouring Beast incident. And now he has such grand ambitions! I looked down on him back then, and now..."

"Atejina! Nihelu!"

Luo Feng was furious.

He was already unable to see his family and felt deeply guilty towards them. He never expected that Atejina and his group, driven by ambition, would threaten his family's lives.

...

No matter how angry, Luo Feng had to endure! Although the days of suppressing his rage felt like years.

Finally...

The first clone was successfully nurtured, and June 2, 2061, was the day Luo Feng would emerge from his shell!
