Return to Earth

After spending over a month in Chaos City, Luo Feng kept a small portion of the spoils that were useful, such as treasures that promoted divine body recovery. Many of the powerful beings Luo Feng had killed possessed such items, and he naturally kept them, along with three top-tier spaceships.

Everything else was disposed of. Luo Feng then spent lavishly for his combat team, his family, and himself, until only a little over a hundred billion mixed yuan units remained in his account. Only then did Luo Feng happily depart from Chaos City.

...

In the Solar System, a majestic Divine Temple stood in the void, guarding Earth, its size far exceeding that of the planet itself.

On the first level of the Divine Temple,

there were fixed teleportation channels connecting to the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters, as well as to the Giant Axe Martial Arena, Universe First Bank, Cosmic River Bank, and the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's headquarters.

“Whoosh~~~” One of the teleportation channels glowed faintly.

“Someone’s here.”

“Someone from the Virtual Universe Company has arrived.” The dozens of Sector Lords specifically stationed by the teleportation channel stood respectfully. Those who could use this channel were either extremely powerful or held extremely high status. The dozens of Sector Lords watched curiously… only to see a black-armored youth emerge alone.

“It’s His Highness Luo Feng.” The dozens of Sector Lords immediately recognized him. His Highness Luo Feng held half the authority over Earth’s protection, so how could they not recognize him?

“Your Highness.”

The dozens of Sector Lords saluted respectfully.

“Mm.” Luo Feng nodded, glancing at the Sector Lords. “Has anything special happened during your ten thousand years of guarding the Solar System?”

“No, everything is as usual,” the leading Sector Lord replied respectfully.

Luo Feng nodded slightly, then instantly moved, vanishing into thin air.

“Instant movement!”

“Wow, a Sector Lord can use instant movement. His Highness Luo Feng is truly amazing.”

“Don’t you know? His Highness Luo Feng just passed the Sector Lord-level Original Sky-Reaching Mountain. I heard there’s a reward of 100 billion points for passing it.”

“100 billion!”

“I haven’t even accumulated 100 mixed yuan units yet.” The group of Sector Lords couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment. Although these Sector Lords, who were affiliated with the five major powers, were much better off than independent Sector Lords, their wealth was still pitifully small. Super powerhouses like Luo Feng had previously spent over two trillion mixed yuan units. In the eyes of someone at Luo Feng’s level, ordinary Sector Lords were like commoners, easily crushed and eliminated.

...

Outside Earth’s atmosphere.

“Whoosh!” Luo Feng instantly appeared, turning to look at the majestic Divine Temple in the Solar System, sighing inwardly.

He then plunged directly into the atmosphere.

“This is Earth, this is Earth. Intruder, please state your identity.” A small spaceship suddenly flashed out of the atmosphere like lightning. The small spaceship emitted a sound wave that directly entered Luo Feng’s ears, speaking in the universal language.

“What’s going on?” Luo Feng frowned slightly. Immediately, his world force rapidly spread out, completely enveloping the entire Earth. Hidden within Earth’s atmosphere were numerous small probe ships, while above the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, luxurious floating cities housed other human races, such as branches of the Winged-Human and Ape-Human races.

“It’s changed,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

“When I become a hegemon, I will reclaim Earth,” Luo Feng murmured. “Even if it costs something, it will be worth it.”

“Please state your identity,” the small spaceship continued to demand.

Luo Feng frowned, glanced at the spaceship, and growled, “Scram!” His voice, like a shockwave, rolled forth, directly crushing the small spaceship into fragments.

“I know you’re watching!” Luo Feng stood in the atmosphere, his voice cold. “But remember, this is Earth, and I, an original Earthling, have half control over it. When I, Luo Feng, come to Earth… it’s not your place to monitor me! Don’t let this happen again!”

Swoosh!

Luo Feng dove down.

...

Inside a massive floating city in the central Pacific on Earth, which housed hundreds of millions of residents, stood a skyscraper.

This was the headquarters for alien immigrants to Earth. In a hidden control room, two middle-aged men and a woman stood, all watching the screen before them, which displayed the scene of Luo Feng speaking in the atmosphere earlier.

“That Luo Feng is truly arrogant,” sneered the winged man in green combat armor. “What is he? Just because he’s a disciple of the Chaos City Lord? Doesn’t he know… that most of the immigrants to Earth are elites from the Giant Axe Martial Arena and Virtual Universe Company? Many even have Universe Master backgrounds?”

Earth was a special cradle, and each immigration slot was extremely expensive.

Many who managed to bring pregnant women to Earth were elite descendants of some Universe Master’s family. On Earth… there were many powerful figures.

“Keep it down!” the other middle-aged man with four arms grunted. “Luo Feng is, after all, a personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, not someone you can provoke. And he just passed the Original Sky-Reaching Mountain; he might even become a Universe Venerable in the future! While many who come to Earth have powerful backgrounds, background is just background, not their own strength. If Luo Feng becomes a Universe Venerable and decides to deal with you, will you be able to fight back?”

“I’m an Undying King, at least! For now, I can easily crush him,” the green-armored man sneered.

“Both of you, shut up,” the woman snapped. “There’s already a strict order from above prohibiting provoking Luo Feng.”

“Hmph!”

The green-armored man looked through the glass, overlooking the ocean outside the floating city. “Such a beautiful planet, yet it’s occupied by some trash races! Our Giant Axe Martial Arena is truly not decisive enough. If we had secretly killed this Luo Feng back then, Earth would have directly belonged to our Giant Axe Martial Arena…”

“Say less,” the woman warned.

“If you want to die, don’t drag me into it,” the other four-armed middle-aged man said, turning to leave.

...

Asian continent, Yangzhou City, Luo Clan Manor.

This was the family’s ancestral home with ten thousand years of history, holding extraordinary significance. Since receiving news of Luo Feng’s return, some high-ranking members and elites of the Luo Clan had quickly rushed back, hoping to meet their clan head, ‘Luo Feng.’

...

“I can’t believe the house I used to live in is still perfectly preserved. Look, I remember the chair was placed like this when I left last time, and after all these years, it’s still in the same spot.” Luo Feng toured the manor with his wife and two sons.

“It’s been maintained for ten thousand years, of course everything is as it was,” Xu Xin said with a smile.

Luo Ping also chimed in with a smile, but Luo Hai’s expression was not good.

“Luo Hai,” Luo Feng looked at his son.

“Dad,” Luo Hai responded.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Feng asked.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that this return to Earth has filled me with resentment,” Luo Hai said angrily. Xu Xin frowned and glanced at Luo Hai, making him stop talking.

“Speak,” Luo Feng said directly, having somewhat guessed the situation.

“It’s those alien immigrants again!” Luo Hai fumed. “When I returned this time, I flew directly from outer space into Earth, and they actually stopped me. I cooperated with them at first, but then they took me to their floating city, detained me for half a day, and only then did someone come to receive me, claiming it was a misunderstanding. Clearly, it was a show of force.”

“This is already much better,” Luo Ping sighed. “Second Brother, you’ve been away, so you know little about family matters. During the six thousand years Dad was missing, especially in the later period, Earth was no longer our Earthlings’ territory; it was purely the territory of alien immigrants. Those alien immigrants, under the guise of sightseeing and shopping, came to our land, acting arrogant and overbearing, completely disregarding us native Earthlings.”

“Who among us dared to provoke them?”

“No one, we could only swallow our anger!”

“Perhaps they had some reservations. Although they were very overbearing, they hadn’t dared to drive us away,” Luo Ping sighed.

Luo Feng’s expression changed. He had signed a contract with the Virtual Universe Company back then, which clearly stated that floating city alien immigrants were absolutely not to disturb the lives of Earthlings. Now it seemed they were being severely bullied.

“Dad, the contract you signed back then, you told me about it too,” Luo Ping shook his head. “It’s useless. A contract is a contract, but it only says they are forbidden from disturbing Earthlings’ lives. However, those alien immigrants, despite being very excessive and oppressing Earthlings, still claim… they are just making friends with Earthlings, not disturbing their lives. What can you do? Such verbal disputes are hard to clarify.”

Luo Feng’s face darkened.

His own return to Earth had been met with provocation, which showed how arrogant these alien immigrants were at their core. If they dared to treat him this way, let alone other Earthlings.

“Luo Feng,” Xu Xin said softly, “these alien immigrants all have extraordinary backgrounds, connected to some of the top super families in the universe. It’s said many have direct ties to the highest echelons of the Giant Axe Martial Arena and Virtual Universe Company.”

“Hmph.”

Luo Feng’s anger surged. The Giant Axe Founder had visited Earth once and recognized its uniqueness. Most of the peak existences in the human race also had their own families, and it was understandable that some elites from these families would be sent. Their inherent pride could also be imagined, as each had an impressive backing. They clearly believed: “Can one Luo Feng really dare to offend so many of us?”

“Luo Feng, calm down,” Xu Xin said in a low voice.

“Don’t worry, I won’t act rashly.” Luo Feng’s mind raced, trying to figure out how to deal with the situation.

“Dad, since you passed the Original Sky-Reaching Mountain, those alien immigrants have reined in their behavior somewhat, and their bullying of Earthlings isn’t as excessive,” Luo Ping said.

“What do you mean ‘not as excessive’! They have no right to bully anyone!” Luo Feng frowned. Although he was incredibly angry, for a moment… Luo Feng couldn’t think of a clear solution to the situation.
