Chapter 630

The Insectoid Mother Nest Plan

After a long conversation with his wife and individual meetings with his two sons, a grand banquet was held that evening at the Luo family's ancestral home. All the Luo family descendants rushed back from various corners of the cosmos. In the evening, the family gathering commenced, with a bustling crowd of descendants assembled together. 'Greetings, Patriarch!' Over two thousand people in the grand hall respectfully knelt and saluted. 'Haha...' Luo Feng sat at the head of the table, smiling as he looked at the more than two thousand people below. These two thousand-plus individuals, men and women, represented many generations over two hundred years, with the youngest being an eleventh-generation descendant! Among the two thousand-plus kneeling, over five hundred were male family members. The rest were girls born within the clan. Of course, a greater number were daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, great-granddaughters-in-law, great-great-granddaughters-in-law, and so on. While many male family members still practiced monogamy, later generations, having ventured across the cosmos and broadened their horizons, were influenced by other families in the universe... many had taken several wives, some even dozens. In the cosmos, it was quite normal for those of high status and great power to have many wives. Of course! For this family banquet, male family members brought a maximum of three wives, not daring to bring too many. 'You may all rise,' Luo Feng instructed. 'Yes, Patriarch,' the two thousand-plus people replied, rising to their feet. Luo Feng looked at the infants held by their parents below. Many babies blinked their eyes at him, some with light blue eyes, clearly indicating mixed heritage. 'Xu Xin,' Luo Feng whispered to his wife beside him, 'It seems the further down the generations we go, the more wives and children our descendants have.' 'Indeed,' Xu Xin nodded. 'Take your ninth-generation descendant, Luo Kedi, for example. He has 51 wives, one-third of whom are of Earth bloodline, and the rest are from other cosmic races—though all are species very similar to Earth humans. This is our clan rule! He has 21 sons and 28 daughters.' Luo Feng was speechless. Luo Kedi? Quite the prolific one. 'This is the current trend within the clan. The Luo family is growing stronger, especially with you serving as an Inspector Envoy. As one of the four great magnates of the Ganwu Branch, many powerful and ancient races from the Ganwu Universe Nation seek alliances with us,' Xu Xin said with a sigh. 'These younger generations observe a lot and are naturally influenced. Some prominent cosmic families have tens of thousands of wives and children.' 'Compared to them, our Luo family is quite restrained,' Xu Xin remarked. '...' Luo Feng fell silent. 'This is a normal direction for family development. For a family to prosper, it indeed needs to be large enough, with sufficient numbers, to increase the probability of producing elites,' Xu Xin smiled. 'Which of those ancient, prominent families doesn't have billions of descendants? Within their own ranks, they can cultivate entire groups of Realm Lords, not to mention countless Domain Lords and Universe-level experts!' Luo Feng gave a wry smile. If each of his descendants were to marry dozens of wives and have dozens of children... perhaps after several centuries or even millennia, the Luo family descendants truly would number in the billions. 'The reason humanity is powerful,' Dylan, sitting nearby, said in a low voice, 'is precisely because of its strong reproductive capability and vast numbers.' Luo Feng turned to glance at Dylan. Reproduction? Dozens of children? It felt like a sow giving birth, a whole litter at once. 'Mr. Dylan is right,' Xu Xin nodded with a smile. 'For a family to be powerful, it cannot rely solely on one person. It also needs a large number of descendants. With only over 500 male members, our family is pitifully small compared to those ancient cosmic families.' 'Alright,' Luo Feng said with a shake of his head and a smile. In his own generation, Luo Ping's and Luo Hai's generation... at least the first few generations, most practiced monogamy, with only occasional instances of two or three wives. The further down the line, especially the sixth and seventh generations... it became increasingly exaggerated. 'Luo Kedi currently has dozens of wives, but I fear there will be even more extreme descendants in our Luo family in the future,' Luo Feng chuckled softly. Xu Xin added, 'It wouldn't be surprising if someone eventually had thousands, or even tens of thousands, of wives.' 'Luo Kedi, Luo Kedi,' Luo Hua, Luo Feng's younger brother, chuckled beside him. 'Brother, who came up with that name? It's incredibly fitting. That kid, Luo Kedi, isn't particularly strong himself, but with so many wives and sons... and he's still young. I've met him; he has a very shrewd business mind. The family gave him three life-planet territories, and he not only built several palaces within them but also in many other places across the cosmos, essentially 'housing beauties in golden mansions.' With 51 wives at such a young age, he'll probably have hundreds or thousands in a few decades.' 'Luo Kedi, Luo Kedi,' Luo Hua shook his head, 'He'll conquer his enemies simply by virtue of a massive horde of sons and daughters! What a well-chosen name.' 'Just a reminder,' Xu Xin smiled, '51 wives is the reported number. According to the family's intelligence system... Luo Kedi has another 62 women not officially registered with the family.' Luo Feng and Luo Hua exchanged glances. Speechless! 'A true talent,' the Immortal God Dylan remarked with a light chuckle from the side. During the banquet, Luo Feng also playfully interacted with the infants one by one. Of course, what truly astonished Luo Feng at this banquet was... Luo Kedi from the family. Luo Feng had a feeling—if this continued, the family would become increasingly vast. However, compared to ancient families like the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's imperial family or the Ji Clan... even with a population of hundreds of millions, they might not even be one ten-thousandth the size of some ancient families. After the banquet, Luo Feng, Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai gathered as a family of four. 'Dad,' Luo Hai immediately asked, 'How long will you be staying this time?' 'Xiao Hai, I'll be staying on Earth for a long time this trip,' Luo Feng said, smiling as he patted his son's head. Of his two sons, Luo Ping was more steady and conventional, while Luo Hai possessed a hot-blooded spirit. Having studied at the Ganwu Dojo and adventured in the cosmos, coupled with the family's resources, he had already reached Eighth-tier Star-level. 'How long is 'a long time'?' Luo Hai pressed. Luo Ping also looked at his father. 'Anywhere from a few centuries to over a thousand or even ten thousand years,' Luo Feng smiled. 'During my tenure as Inspector Envoy, I will reside on Earth in reality. Unless the Virtual Universe Company assigns a mission that requires me to leave occasionally, I will spend most of my time on Earth.' 'Haha, hurray!' Luo Hai cheered. Clap! Luo Ping and Luo Hai high-fived and cheered. Luo Feng and Xu Xin both smiled at the sight; though there were many family descendants, their deepest affection was reserved for these two sons. 'I won't go adventuring these years either,' Luo Hai exclaimed. 'I'll stay on Earth, haha! Dad, your guard force actually has ten Realm Lords, a hundred Domain Lords... tsk tsk, and even an Immortal God! I'll have plenty of people to guide me now.' 'Don't bother Dylan unless it's important; once or twice is fine,' Luo Feng advised. 'And you're just an Eighth-tier Star-level junior... my guard force's ten Realm Lords are all recognized by the Origin Laws. Each of them can easily guide you; they're more than enough.' Luo Hai nodded, 'Got it, Dad.' Realm Lords recognized by the Origin Laws? How many of those are there in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield combined? 'Xu Xin,' Luo Feng looked at his wife, 'I plan to purchase some high-tech products from the Virtual Universe Company to transform Earth.' 'Transform Earth?' Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai all looked at Luo Feng in surprise. 'Yes!' Luo Feng nodded. 'Dylan,' Luo Feng called out, his voice simultaneously reaching a room a kilometer away. Whoosh. Dylan appeared out of thin air. 'Your Highness,' Dylan greeted, and Luo Ping, Luo Hai, and Xu Xin immediately became much more serious; after all, Dylan was an Immortal God. 'Tell them about my plan to transform Earth,' Luo Feng said. 'Understood,' Dylan said, looking at Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai. 'Your Highness is a disciple of Zhenyan King, and he entered the Primal Secret Region in his very first qualification battle, making him one of the Virtual Universe Company's absolute top geniuses. And a genius so highly valued by the Virtual Universe Company will also—naturally—be highly valued by other races in the cosmos.' Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai were startled. 'The cosmos is not peaceful,' Dylan stated. 'War is constant. Vast numbers of warriors fall in the cosmic armies of various Universe Nations... but those individuals are merely cannon fodder. It is peerless geniuses like Your Highness who pose a significant threat to those races. With talent like Your Highness's, as long as you don't fall!' 'Becoming a Marquis-level Immortal God is practically guaranteed, and there's even hope of becoming a King-level Immortal God. There's even a slight chance of becoming a high and mighty Universe Nation Lord.' 'For such peerless geniuses,' Dylan continued, 'humanity values... cultivation, while other races value... pre-emptive elimination!' Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai's expressions changed. Dylan chuckled, 'But rest assured, the elites from other races who manage to infiltrate humanity dare not easily expose themselves. After all, it's no easy feat to infiltrate without being discovered by us.' 'Furthermore, a peerless genius, not yet fully grown, holds a status at most equivalent to a Marquis-level Immortal God,' Dylan explained. 'And in reality, to break through the spatial secret art and reach Earth, one would need to be at least a Marquis-level Immortal God proficient in spatial techniques. Even then, such a Marquis-level Immortal God wouldn't personally make a move, because once they act, they'd be exposed, and within the heartland of human territory, they wouldn't be able to escape.' Luo Feng nodded, 'So, you don't need to worry too much.' Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai all nodded. 'Infiltrating is not easy. A Marquis-level Immortal God who successfully infiltrates... for those races, their value might be equivalent to a King-level Immortal God who failed to infiltrate,' Dylan chuckled. 'They wouldn't dare to sacrifice them! The more powerful an individual, the harder it is to infiltrate human territory. Once successfully infiltrated... each one becomes an extremely crucial chess piece!' 'However, we cannot be careless!' 'There are many methods for elimination. They can use poison, Mechanical Race weapons, or other peculiar means,' Dylan said. 'In short, there are countless ways to kill.' Xu Xin, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai were all stunned. 'You can also rest assured that if every Inspector Envoy, after being dispatched, couldn't guarantee safety on their resident planet... then all geniuses would have long since perished,' Dylan chuckled. 'The Virtual Universe Company already has perfect transformation plans for the resident planets of geniuses, ensuring at least that—geniuses are absolutely safe within the planet. Danger usually only arises when they leave the planet to carry out missions...' Luo Feng smiled, 'Trust in the Virtual Universe Company's capabilities.' 'By the way, what about the Insectoid Mother Nest?' Luo Feng then asked. His return to Earth primarily involved two matters: first, the transformation of Earth, and second, the Insectoid Mother Nest Plan.
