“In the future, I must thoroughly study this ‘River of Life Blood’,” Luo Feng mused. “This can also deepen my understanding of the Law of Chaos.”

Comprehending the Law of Chaos is incredibly difficult. Therefore, multiple paths must be pursued simultaneously. For instance, Luo Feng living near the Chaos Ruins, observing and comprehending them closely, is one path.

Practicing secret techniques that directly point to the ‘Chaos Realm’—such as the “Nine Blade Breakthroughs,” “Chaos Power Map,” “Annihilation,” “East Radiance,” and others—the deeper one cultivates these, the profounder their understanding of the Law of Chaos will become. Techniques like “Annihilation” and “East Radiance” even directly point to the God King level.

Moreover, Eternal True God-level mechanical secret treasures like the ‘Wings of Wu Annihilation’ and ‘River of Life Blood’ both contain Chaos Realm moves. Meticulous study of these can also enhance one’s understanding of the Law of Chaos.

Only those with exceptionally high talent, pursuing multiple paths simultaneously, have a chance of becoming a Chaos Master. Luo Feng, without a doubt, possesses extraordinary talent; he can comprehend “Array Element Art” and cultivate the inconceivable perfect divine body, a talent so high that even the God King Zuo Shan Ke marveled at it.

“This time, my gains are greater than I expected.” After inventorying the treasures, Luo Feng found that over 980,000 Cosmic Sand and the ‘River of Life Blood’ mechanical secret treasure, valued at approximately 1.5 million Cosmic Sand, were the biggest rewards. As for the Eternal True God-level armor, weapon secret treasures, precious medicines, exotic beast materials, and various other collectibles, they accumulated to nearly 200,000 Cosmic Sand.

“This Blood Python President is quite wealthy!” Luo Feng was very satisfied. He also knew that such significant gains involved some luck, as most powerful individuals would spend their Cosmic Sand. Cosmic Sand, when stored, is just wealth. Only by spending it can one truly increase their foundational strength.

“After drinking that fine wine from the Vice Curator of the Blazing Wind Guild, my comprehension seems to have improved.” After putting away the treasures, Luo Feng sat cross-legged within the Star Tower’s internal space and began trying to comprehend the Law of Chaos. With a focused perception, he could sense the materialized Law of Chaos fully revealed in the neighboring ‘Chaos Ruins’.

“Vast as the ocean,” Luo Feng observed carefully. Everything originates from Chaos. The difficulty of fully comprehending the complete ‘Law of Chaos’ is imaginable.

At this moment, not far from Luo Feng’s abode, was ‘Chaos Abode A3’, an exceptionally large residence belonging to the Mo Li family.

“Blood Python President is dead, he’s really dead.” Diao Rongqi, also a client of the Blazing Wind Guild’s Dark Hall, naturally received the news immediately. The bounty mission was complete, and her 40,000 Cosmic Sand reward was fully deducted. If a mission wasn’t completed, the issuer could cancel it, and after a ten percent fee deduction, the remaining bounty would be returned.

“Hahaha… he’s dead, he’s dead.” Diao Rongqi’s eyes filled with tears; she seemed to be both crying and laughing. After her father and clansmen died, her only thought was revenge. Yet, the swift demise of her enemy left her somewhat dazed.

“Xiao Qi, the guards accompanied you to the Fire Realm Restaurant to visit Luo He. Is Blood Python President’s death related to Luo He?” Mo Li Feiyun speculated.

“Luo He killed him!” a voice resounded. Mo Li Feiyun and Diao Rongqi turned to see Mo Li Meng approaching.

“Father,” Mo Li Feiyun asked in surprise, “was it really Luo He who killed Blood Python President?”

“Yes,” Mo Li Meng nodded. He had received Blood Python President’s dying message. He looked at Diao Rongqi with mixed feelings, “I never expected that after your visit to Luo He, he would actually help you.”

Diao Rongqi asked, “Is Honored Luo He doing well?” She was now immensely grateful to Luo Feng, willing even to be his servant.

“Of course he’s well,” Mo Li Meng sighed. “How many in the entire Huyang City would dare offend him now?”

“How did you get him to help?” Mo Li Meng asked.

Diao Rongqi shook her head, “I merely explained the situation, and Honored Luo He agreed to help. He didn’t ask for anything from me, just told me to return, and that I’d receive news before nightfall.”

Mo Li Meng listened, then mused, “How straightforward and decisive.” From these events, Mo Li Meng could glimpse some of Luo Feng’s character.

“Should I go visit him to thank him?” Diao Rongqi hesitated. “But if I do, outsiders might guess that Honored Luo He was involved.”

“No need to rush.” Mo Li Meng shook his head. “Currently, various powers in Huyang City are paying attention to him, and many want to visit him. We can wait a few days, then I’ll take you to visit him discreetly.” Mo Li Meng was also an Eternal True God, and his mini-universe domain could block out surrounding prying eyes, making a discreet visit possible.

“Alright,” Diao Rongqi replied.

Mo Li Meng was indeed correct; many powers in Huyang City wished to visit Luo Feng. Although the news that ‘Luo He killed Blood Python President’ was relatively secretive for now, first, the City Lord’s Mansion, by observing past scenes, had already discovered it was Luo Feng. Second, Blood Python President had sent messages to five factions before his death. With so many powerful individuals knowing, the news would naturally spread slowly among Huyang City’s high-ranking figures over time.

“Lord Luo He, Zan Yun has come to visit.” President Zan Yun stood humbly outside Luo Feng’s abode.

“Hm?” President Zan Yun waited for a while, but the abode’s gate remained closed with no response. Only then did he reluctantly turn and leave.

At this moment, inside Luo Feng’s abode.

“Is this the third distinguished guest today?” Mo Yu Qingyan couldn’t help but ask, “Are we just going to turn everyone away like this?”

Moluo Sa leisurely remarked from the side, “As long as the master is in seclusion for cultivation, no matter who it is, there’s no need to pay them any mind.”

“The previous three guests were all Eternal True Gods…” Mo Yu Qingyan still felt considerable pressure. In his mind, these highly esteemed Eternal True Gods were now all being turned away.

Moluo Sa scoffed, “Just you wait, many Eternal True Gods will come to visit today. You’ll get used to it over time.”

“I understand,” Mo Yu Qingyan said, adjusting his mindset. As a mere True God, he had to get used to his master’s way of doing things.

“Focus on comprehending the ten fundamental laws; your comprehension is too slow!” Moluo Sa shook his head. As a Beast of Origin who commanded the essence of destruction, understanding the ten fundamental laws was as easy as eating and drinking. As he slowly grew over time, his understanding of the Great Way of Destruction would deepen until the day he fully comprehended it. In his view, Mo Yu Qingyan’s comprehension was indeed mediocre.

“Oh,” Mo Yu Qingyan obediently responded.

“Lord Luo He, Zhu You has come to visit.” Another voice came from outside; it was an Eternal True God from Huyang City’s renowned ‘Zhu Clan’. Mo Yu Qingyan paid no attention, focusing instead on comprehending the laws.

In his homeland, the Original Universe region, within Luo Feng’s mini-universe.

On a bustling human planet, Luo Feng and Xu Xin, dressed in short sleeves and wearing handmade straw hats, leisurely sat in the outdoor area of a restaurant, sipping drinks and chatting.

“Luo Feng, you say our son is trying his absolute best, yet his strength isn’t improving at all. Why is he still pushing himself so hard?” Xu Xin shook her head. “At the last family gathering, Luo Hai was the only one of the large family who didn’t show up!”

Luo Feng smiled, his gaze piercing through space-time to see Luo Ping signing a contract, and Luo Hai cultivating alone deep within a colossal black hole. His two sons had taken completely different paths. Luo Ping had lost all interest in cultivation, while Luo Hai was intensely passionate about it.

“It’s good that Luo Hai has such drive,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “After all, with infinite lifespan, one needs to have some pursuits.”

“He’s only a Universe Knight; there’s still Universe Master and True God ahead! What good is a breakthrough even if he achieves it?” Xu Xin said. “Seeing him work so hard, sometimes my heart aches.”

“Don’t you feel for me?” Luo Feng countered.

Xu Xin glanced at him. In the past, she had always worried about Luo Feng, especially during life-or-death crises when she was more anxious than anyone. But with the passage of time, she had grown calm in facing everything.

“Of course I feel for you,” Xu Xin smiled. Luo Feng then picked up his drink and sipped it contentedly. He was indeed cautious on the side of the Original Continent, but his ‘divine power avatar’ back home was always relaxed, often accompanying his wife on leisurely strolls around the world, thoroughly enjoying himself. After all, within a mini-universe with a diameter of one hundred billion light-years, countless humans thrived, giving birth to incredibly brilliant cultures. Luo Feng and Xu Xin had wandered through many places, yet had only explored the tip of the iceberg so far.

“Ancestor,” a Universe Master respectfully said from a distant part of space, “When I passed by ‘Zuo Shan Ke’s’ mini-universe, I noticed it was rapidly expanding and growing larger.”

Within Luo Feng’s mini-universe, any mention of an ancestor would naturally catch his attention.

“Zuo Shan Ke’s mini-universe is rapidly expanding?” Luo Feng was startled.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Xin noticed something was amiss.

“Teacher’s mini-universe is expanding; let’s go see.” Luo Feng, taking his wife Xu Xin, piloted a spacecraft-like secret treasure, traversing space directly to where his teacher Zuo Shan Ke’s mini-universe was located. Luo Feng was, after all, an Eternal True God with a ‘perfect divine body’. Even a divine power avatar formed from a mere wisp of divine power was still unmatched by other True Gods.

The spacecraft-like secret treasure stopped in the chaotic airflow. At this moment, other True Gods and Universe Masters also arrived nearby, all observing the expanding mini-universe.

“Ancestor.”
“Ancestor.”
“Lord Galaxy.”

As soon as Luo Feng and Xu Xin appeared, the surrounding True Gods and Universe Masters all showed immense reverence. The powerhouses of the human race naturally addressed them as ‘Ancestor’. Currently, the human race had two ancestors: Original Ancestor and Galaxy Ancestor ‘Luo Feng’. Their mini-universes, one tens of billions of light-years and the other a hundred billion light-years in diameter, were both places where the human race thrived. Luo Feng had resolved the Beast of Origin crisis and rescued Original Ancestor, and Luo Feng’s mini-universe was vastly larger. Within the human race, Luo Feng’s status was indeed higher than Original Ancestor’s. Original Ancestor had no objections to this, as his “Nine Nightmares Realm” was also taught by Luo Feng.

“Mm,” Luo Feng acknowledged, then gazed from afar at the expanding mini-universe. “Once Teacher breaks through to Void True God, he will have to brave the Samsara,” Luo Feng thought. “Teacher… is he finally going to the Original Continent?”
