A Boat Tour of the Star Tower

Luo Feng gazed at the countless water droplets floating in the endless void, as if seeing a future where Earth's lineage would produce a continuous stream of powerful experts. Under his guidance, Earth's lineage would become renowned, an undeniable force among the billions of races in the vast cosmos!

“A towering edifice begins from solid ground, but it's the foundation that determines if it can become a skyscraper.”

“My foundation is set!”

“The grand trend is established!”

“Now, it's all up to my own efforts,” Luo Feng murmured. Looking across the vast cosmos, those who could rival him in terms of resources and conditions were truly few. Within the human race, with its countless powerful experts, including numerous Universe Masters, it would be absolutely impossible for the Star Tower and Jie Jia, two ultimate treasures, to be given to a mere Sector Lord so early.

No matter how talented, it would be impossible!

But the alien mighty one was a solitary figure; he didn't need to consider a race. And clearly, his ability to accumulate wealth and treasures was not much inferior to that of the entire human race. To befriend such an alien mighty one… even the Universe Masters within the human race would be incredibly willing.

“My disciple, Luo Feng.” The towering elder pointed to the water droplets slowly floating around them. “Here are a million Soldier Souls, a hundred thousand General Souls, ten thousand King Souls, and a thousand Emperor Souls. Similar to the Yan God Clan's Soldier Armor and General Armor, those armors place powerful burdens and strict demands on the body. These Soldier Souls and General Souls, however, place extremely high demands on the soul.”

“A Soldier Soul can be fully borne by an ordinary human Sector Lord at their peak.”

“A General Soul requires a soul a hundred times stronger than a peak human Sector Lord to bear.”

“A King Soul requires a soul ten thousand times stronger than a peak human Sector Lord to bear.”

“An Emperor Soul requires a soul a million times stronger than a peak human Sector Lord to bear.”

The towering elder looked at Luo Feng. “Disciple, although you are only a Sector Lord, you possess a soul amplitude secret technique… In terms of will and consciousness, you even passed the life-and-death inheritance. Consciousness originates from the soul. Perhaps your consciousness is a bit weaker, only comparable to an Undying God. But in terms of will alone… many Universe Knights might not even match you.”

The ‘Star Tower inheritance’ was very special; the stronger the soul, the greater the pain during fusion. That's why the alien mighty one had captured a large number of test subjects. Among the captured Universe Knights, their souls were powerful, and to become a Universe Knight, who among them wasn't an ambitious figure? A peerless talent? Yet, during fusion, the pain was immense, leaving them no ability to struggle, and they all perished! They perished very cleanly.

Conversely, Sector Lords and Undying Gods, with weaker souls, experienced proportionally less pain during the inheritance. Although they all perished, they could at least struggle for a bit.

That's why the candidates were required to be Sector Lords or Undying Gods.

But Luo Feng could succeed… his will was already incredibly strong, defying the heavens. It had been continuously honed and improved over these six thousand years, especially undergoing a transformation three thousand two hundred years ago… making his will so powerful that some Universe Knights couldn't even match Luo Feng.

“Soul power is the soldier, consciousness is the general, and will is the commander. A powerful will and consciousness can unleash greater strength. Although you are a Sector Lord, with a soul amplitude of over 32 times, with your will and consciousness… using a General Soul is more than sufficient,” the towering elder said. “Take two General Souls, one for your Earthling body and one for your Golden Horn Beast body. Once I've arranged everything, you can use them.”

“Yes,” Luo Feng respectfully replied.

With a flip of his hand, he stored the two General Souls into his World Ring.

“Teacher, these Soldier Souls and General Souls…” Luo Feng hesitated slightly. Universe Master Puti, standing nearby, chuckled, “Third Junior Brother, these Soldier Souls and General Souls are special items, their miraculous effects are no less than many ultimate treasures. Unless you truly intend to begin cultivating the Earth lineage, it's safest to leave these Soldier Souls and General Souls here.”

“Understood.” Luo Feng nodded, glancing at the countless four-colored water droplets floating around. These were the future reliance of Earth's lineage.

“Follow me, I'll give you a proper tour of the Star Tower!” The elder pointed ahead. In the void where countless water droplets floated, a boat began to materialize out of thin air. It first formed the bow, then rapidly extended towards the stern, with powerful energy converging to naturally form a beautiful and elegant pleasure boat over ten kilometers long. The boat exuded a powerful aura, leaving Luo Feng dumbfounded.

“Get on board.” The towering elder entered the boat and sat cross-legged.

His 900-meter-tall figure sitting on a ten-kilometer-long pleasure boat was like an ordinary person sitting on a thirty-meter-long boat, which seemed normal. But Luo Feng and Puti appeared like tiny specks beside their teacher.

“Creation?” Luo Feng's eyes were filled with shock. This boat was even more powerful than the spaceship Nine Swords Knight had once ridden, yet it was created with such ease.

“Surprised? Third Junior Brother, Teacher is one of the Universe Overlords. The Cosmic Operating Laws themselves must yield to beings of their caliber. Around them, laws are even rendered useless. You should feel it; you can't even sense the Cosmic Origin Laws anymore, can you?” Puti smiled at Luo Feng. “Moreover, Teacher and others can already make their words become law. Within a certain range around them, it's not the Cosmic Origin Laws that dictate, but they who dictate!”

“Within a certain range, whatever Teacher says the laws are, that's what the laws become!”

“If Teacher says fire can freeze people to death, then it can freeze people to death.”

“If Teacher says countless lives have reached their limit and should perish, then countless powerful experts will perish.”

“If Teacher says a star should vanish, and a planet should emit endless light, then it will happen.”

“If Teacher says the speed limit is no longer the speed of light, but ten times the speed of light, then within that area, ten times the speed of light can be achieved.”

“This is what 'Words become law' means!”

“Within a certain range around Teacher, the original Cosmic Operating Laws are rendered useless; Teacher controls everything.” Puti watched Luo Feng's dumbfounded expression and chuckled.

Luo Feng was completely stunned.

Words become law?

This was what a Universe Overlord was?

Whatever they said, it became reality?

Laws were useless?

“Of course, it's not as invincible as you imagine. This endless cosmos… operates according to the Cosmic Origin Laws. It grants Universe Overlords respect, but it's merely a certain privilege. This privilege only exists within a certain range around a Universe Overlord… If one truly wishes to defy the Cosmic Operating Laws and antagonize the entire cosmos, that would still be courting death.”

“Logically, with 'Words become law,' couldn't one casually kill countless powerful experts?”

“But for a Universe Master, a Universe Master who truly controls a region of space-time… it becomes extremely difficult for a Universe Overlord to kill them,” Puti explained via telepathy.

…

Luo Feng listened to his First Senior Brother Puti's descriptions in secret, filled with awe and shock, his horizons vastly expanded. In the past, Luo Feng's perspective focused more on Undying Kings and Universe Knights, and Universe Masters were figures he looked up to. He might have harbored a desire to become a Universe Master, but which genius didn't have such a desire?

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier, but how many soldiers can become generals?

All geniuses harbored ambition and desire, but it was merely a desire.

Luo Feng looked up to the great existence of a Universe Master… but now, his First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother were both Universe Masters, and his Teacher was one of the Universe Overlords. Listening to them speak, he heard secrets of the highest level in this vast cosmos.

“The Star Tower is nine light-years tall.”

“If you were to explore it slowly by yourself, who knows when you would finish.” The towering elder, sitting cross-legged like a mountain, spoke with a booming voice, pointing around. “With me guiding you, you can see it all in half a day. Look carefully.”

Luo Feng sat on the pleasure boat.

The boat's speed far exceeded the speed of light. Logically, reaching the speed of light should have sent them into the dark universe, but it didn't happen. Clearly, the alien mighty one had adjusted the speed limit within a certain range around him. Such an act, defying the Cosmic Operating Laws, could only be accomplished by Universe Overlords.

The most bizarre thing was that Luo Feng could still clearly see everything.

“Flying faster than light, and still able to see everything clearly?” Luo Feng couldn't understand. Everything defied the laws he was accustomed to, but he still watched carefully.

The boundless Star Tower.

Endless space… within this endless space, the forbidden spaces occupied less than one percent of the area. The larger area was filled with sky-reaching pillars… endless sky-reaching pillars, some as short as a few light-seconds, the longest even exceeding one light-year! These sky-reaching pillars were covered with endless secret patterns, incredibly complex, emitting a faint golden light. Besides these sky-reaching pillars, which were embedded and connected to each other, there were other strangely shaped treasures, each exuding a powerful aura. Beyond that, there were even more sealed stars. These sealed stars were like the steel ball bearings on a bicycle wheel, revolving in various places, with faint traces visible on each sealed star.

The sky-reaching pillars formed the framework of a skyscraper!

The other numerous treasures were the bricks, tiles, windows, and other decorative parts!

And the countless sealed stars served as transfer buffers!

Massive law secret patterns covered the sky-reaching pillars, running through countless treasures and endless sealed stars, like an incredibly intricate and terrifying machine… forming a perfectly integrated whole, giving birth to an ultimate treasure that made one's heart tremble. The complexity of the secret patterns visible to the naked eye… even surpassed those on the Beast God Statue.

This observation… lasted for an entire day.

Luo Feng was completely awestruck.

“These law secret patterns…” Luo Feng held his breath.

“Though I spent endless years and countless efforts to create it,” the towering elder's voice boomed with emotion, “during the formation of the ultimate treasure, special changes occurred beyond my control. Even I cannot fully comprehend it; such is the wonder of cosmic evolution. My disciple, Luo Feng, can you sense the entire Star Tower?”

“I can sense it.”

Luo Feng nodded. “After successfully binding it, I can sense it. I feel like I could easily obtain those sealed stars and easily reach the various forbidden spaces, but as for driving the entire Star Tower… I always feel as if I'm facing a towering mountain, completely unable to move it.”

“The Star Tower possesses infinite power,” the towering elder chuckled. “You are still very weak; how could you possibly drive it?”

“Just to drive the ultimate treasure ‘Jie Jia,’ one's physical strength must reach 100 million times that of a Sector Lord! Generally, only Universe Knights can achieve this… When you advance to Undying, you will certainly be at the Invincible Undying King tier, and even stronger than what is called Invincible Undying King in the cosmos. If you cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual in the future, comparable to a Special Lifeform, you will naturally be special, and it might be possible even at the Undying level.”

“But the Star Tower is ten to a hundred times stronger than Jie Jia.”

“Driving it is even more incredibly difficult.”

“For you to drive the perfect Star Tower…”

“Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!”

“Once you can drive the complete Star Tower, even if you unleash its weakest power, a simple smash! Those Universe Knights would be crushed to death with a single blow.” The towering elder shook his head. “As you are now, you are still very weak.”
