Luo Feng looked at the twenty-three World-tier Origin-Masters before him, and the densely packed millions of High-tier Origin-Masters. In the future, he would need to rely on these subordinates to manage his vast territory.

The cultivators’ territory was too vast, and it was foreseeable that as their overall strength increased, the territory would continue to expand!

With numerous source worlds, hundreds of millions of ordinary worlds, and naturally formed lands of rare treasures and mineral deposits, the High-tier Origin-Masters on the cultivators’ side were insufficient. They barely managed to govern by relying on the subservient Innate Origin-Masters.

The Lords, furthermore, would not bother with such trivial matters.

“This is our first meeting,” Luo Feng said with a smile, looking at his subordinates. “In the future, for important matters, you may directly submit a request!”

All the subordinates listened excitedly, firmly imprinting the appearance and aura of the black-clothed, black-haired man before them deep in their hearts. This was the great Lord they would follow from now on.

Among the many High-tier Origin-Masters were Ge and Yifeya. Having previously guarded the Dark Holy Realm, they naturally also served under Luo Feng.

“He’s already a Lord in less than two thousand eras!” Ge and Yifeya looked at Luo Feng in the distance, feeling as if it were all a dream. The last time they had received Luo Feng, he was merely a Half-Origin-Master, a fusion path cultivator.

Yet, Luo Feng’s appearance remained unchanged, though his aura was now vast and boundless, and every word he spoke carried immense pressure.

This was an existence who had mastered the ultimate power, the Dao; the Dao of Origin-Master creation and destruction was now a part of Luo Feng’s very being.

The pressure exerted by such a great existence was immense!

Even powerful beings like the hundreds of Ancestors from the Innate Origin-Master faction could not prevail against the eight Lords! This showed how terrifying the individual power of any Lord was.

“Your tasks will soon change, and detailed arrangements will be issued shortly,” Luo Feng said. “The twenty-three World-tier Origin-Masters and Teng are to stay; the other High-tier Origin-Masters may leave first.”

“Yes, Lord.”

The thousands of High-tier Origin-Masters bowed respectfully and departed, already content to have met the Lord’s main combat avatar once.

“What good fortune,” these High-tier Origin-Masters remarked enviously as they left, glancing at Teng.

They certainly knew him! Teng was one of the most influential among the many High-tier Origin-Masters in the Dark World Cluster, and this time, he had been specifically asked to stay by the Lord.

“Come with me.”

Luo Feng turned and walked towards the depths of the mansion, with the twenty-three World-tier Origin-Masters and the sole High-tier Origin-Master, Teng, following him inside.

“The Lord actually kept me back to give me an important role? But I am only a High-tier Origin-Master,” the thin old man, Teng, thought, feeling nervous and excited.

“He was also summoned by the Lord?”

The World-tier Origin-Masters exchanged wary glances. A brief investigation immediately revealed detailed information about Teng.

At the Heavenly Moon Sea Mansion.

Luo Feng leisurely sat down before a lake, observing his subordinates.

“The war between our Cultivator faction and the Innate Origin-Master faction has just concluded, and some territories are still fallen. We will need to reclaim them one by one,” Luo Feng stated. “Each of you will be responsible for defense.”

“Yes, Lord,” the twenty-three World-tier Origin-Masters and Teng respectfully replied. Due to manpower shortages, their main combat avatars would all be involved in guarding the territories.

“I have appointed four Regional Commanders and nineteen Garrison Generals,” Luo Feng announced. Given his realm, and based on the previous arrangements for the entire cultivator territory, he had completed the organizational plan in mere moments.

The tasks for every High-tier Origin-Master had been determined. Ge and Yifeya, who had some prior acquaintance, were also given significant responsibilities this time.

“I’m a Garrison General?” Sirius Guest received the detailed arrangements issued by the Lord.

Sirius Guest, a newly ascended World-tier Origin-Master, was relatively weaker among his peers and ranked as one of the nineteen Garrison Generals. In terms of authority, he was considerably lower than the four Regional Commanders.

“Aside from the borders, my territory also requires three Inspectors,” Luo Feng stated.

Immediately, the hearts of all twenty-three World-tier Origin-Masters tensed! The position of ‘Territory Inspector’ effectively meant managing vast territories on behalf of the Lord, which came with immense benefits as it allowed them to oversee hundreds of world clusters.

“Will I be chosen?” Sirius Guest wondered with a hint of anticipation. “The Lord and I are from the same world cluster, but last time I didn’t go to visit him, and my strength is also relatively weak—”

Sirius Guest was now feeling a mix of hope and apprehension.

“My territory is temporarily divided into three regions: the first region’s Inspector is Chen Shi, the second region’s is Zhuhuo, and the third region’s is Guang Yu,” Luo Feng announced.

Chen Shi, a bald man whose aura appeared ordinary and restrained, was in fact the strongest combatant under Luo Feng. Originally a fusion path cultivator, Chen Shi later chose to refine his bloodline to become a World-tier Origin-Master. He had selected two completely opposite bloodlines, cultivating their power to an incredible degree, making him one of the top three existences in the Cultivator faction at the World-tier Origin-Master level. He was quite humble, had many friends, and his work over the long years had always satisfied the Lords. Luo Feng chose him first without hesitation.

Zhuhuo, a more heavily built figure with dark purple scales covering his entire body, was the weakest of the three Inspectors, being at the late World-tier Origin-Master stage. However, he had previously served as an Inspector and had performed exceptionally well.

Guang Yu, a man with curved horns, was at the peak World-tier Origin-Master level. His strength under Luo Feng was second only to Chen Shi.

The three individuals Luo Feng chose had all previously proven to possess extremely strong working capabilities.

“I’ve been chosen,” Zhuhuo thought, feeling a sense of relief.

Just because he was favored by Yuan previously didn’t mean Luo Feng necessarily had to choose him.

But he was chosen nonetheless!

“The Lord likely values competence more than strength,” Zhuhuo realized. “For a Lord, there’s probably no difference between an early-stage and a peak World-tier Origin-Master.”

He had always performed his duties in a way that sufficiently satisfied the Lords.

“I wasn’t chosen…” Sirius Guest felt a pang of disappointment, but he also understood. When the Lord had not yet transcended the cage, over ten thousand High-tier Origin-Masters from their home world had gone to visit him, and he was the only one who didn’t go! That was a complete disregard for respect.

It was perfectly normal for the Lord not to choose him.

“This Sirius Guest is inherently arrogant and not suitable for an Inspector role,” Luo Feng thought. Still, he valued Sirius Guest quite a bit, after all, he was from his home world.

However, from past incidents, Luo Feng could discern Sirius Guest’s personality.

Sirius Guest was too arrogant! He only acknowledged those stronger than him. He couldn’t be bothered with those weaker than himself.

Even when he was a High-tier Origin-Master, his relationship with over ten thousand other High-tier Origin-Masters from his home world was poor. He barely esteemed his fellow natives! As for the weaker beings at the lower levels? Sirius Guest wouldn’t care at all.

With such a personality, how could he manage over a hundred world clusters? Directly oversee dozens of High-tier Origin-Masters and supervise millions of High-tier Origin-Masters?

Each Inspector influenced hundreds of world clusters! Luo Feng had to be cautious for the sake of countless weaker beings.

In Luo Feng’s view, compassion for the weak was the primary requirement for serving as an Inspector!

“Teng,” Luo Feng said, looking at the only High-tier Origin-Master present.

“Lord!” Teng exclaimed, deeply moved. To be held in such high regard by the Lord, he was now willing to die in battle for him.

“The Dark World Cluster is my absolute territory,” Luo Feng stated. “It needs to be properly developed. You will command the many High-tier Origin-Masters and be responsible for the detailed construction affairs.”

Some parts of the absolute territory were personally built by Luo Feng, but the vast majority still required the diligent work of numerous High-tier Origin-Masters and even more captives.

“Your subordinate will give his utmost effort,” Teng said with great enthusiasm.

“Good,” Luo Feng nodded with a smile. Given Teng’s ability to rally his fellow natives, Luo Feng trusted his organizational skills.

“Of my territory, ninety-three world clusters are still occupied,” Luo Feng said, looking at his subordinates. “The sixty-five world clusters taken by the Innate Origin-Master faction will be swiftly reclaimed by us Lords. The remaining twenty-eight world clusters are currently held by two forces: the Blood Crane Domain and Omino.”

“Chen Shi, go to the Blood Crane Domain and tell them to immediately return the occupied world clusters. If they refuse, simply return,” Luo Feng instructed.

“Yes, Lord,” Chen Shi replied.

“Guang Yu, go to Omino and likewise tell them to return the occupied world clusters. If they refuse, there’s no need to argue; just return directly. You can leave the rest to me,” Luo Feng said.

How to reclaim the fallen territories had already been discussed and decided by the eight Lords.

The world clusters occupied by the Innate Origin-Master faction would be easy for the eight Lords to reclaim, as their Ancestors were unwilling to fight further and would naturally not defend those territories to the death.

The Ice Peak faction, which occupied over a hundred world clusters, would be dealt with last, with all eight Lords collaborating to resolve the situation.

There were also eleven other forces, who would be given the opportunity to voluntarily withdraw! If they refused to comply, war would be declared.

The Cultivator faction faced too many opponents, which was why they were given the chance to withdraw voluntarily! Among these eleven forces, only two held seats in the Eternal Land, while the others did not.

However, not having a seat did not mean they were weak!

For example, five of the Nine Emperors did not have seats in the Eternal Land, yet their strength was extremely formidable.

The two forces Luo Feng intended to deal with, the Blood Crane Domain and Omino, both possessed considerable power; otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to take advantage of the chaos.

For instance, the Omino force had, in the distant past, ranked among the top three factions in the Infinite Origin-Master Space. Later, the Omino faction was defeated by the Innate Origin-Master faction; its members either died or fled, and now it retained only about ten to twenty percent of its former strength.

“I hope both these forces will be sensible,” Luo Feng thought.

In the Cultivator territory, the Dark World Cluster, the Origin Continent Source World.

“This is the Origin Continent?” Xu Xin stood high above Huyang City, looking at the bustling metropolis.

After Luo Feng gained control of their home source world, Xu Xin seemed like the ‘world’s favored child’. She remained untouched by any method, unharmed by any threat, and could even mobilize a wisp of the source world’s primordial power.

“Luo Feng, what realm have you reached?” Xu Xin asked, looking at Luo Feng with an expression of disbelief.

Just recently, Luo Feng had enlightened her with much information; the supreme rules no longer restricted her, and she could now understand all secrets.

“I suppose you could say it’s the highest level among cultivators, a Lord,” Luo Feng replied.

“A Lord?”

Xu Xin, having just learned this information, couldn’t help but exclaim, “According to what you told me, even the God-Emperor realm is still within the ‘cage’! Only by transcending the cage can one become a High-tier Origin-Master, a World-tier Origin-Master, and the supreme Lord. You’ve become a Lord?”

Xu Xin simply felt that it was all too surreal.

“Molasar,” Luo Feng called out with a thought.

Molasar appeared out of thin air, and was even more startled upon seeing Xu Xin. He was well aware that his mistress was very weak,

and should not be able to survive in the environment of the Origin Continent. Yet now, he felt a tremendous threat just by facing her.

The power she naturally exuded seemed capable of crushing him.

“Molasar greets both masters,” Molasar respectfully bowed.

Luo Feng gave him a warning glance.

As a World Beast, Molasar was destined to be destroyed with the self-destruction of the source world if he didn’t break free from the limitations of fate. But now that Luo Feng controlled the source world, Molasar had naturally escaped these limitations.

Even if he died, Luo Feng could resurrect him.

“Within our home source world, I can now resurrect any life form within the ‘cage’,” Luo Feng said. “Therefore, we need to finalize a resurrection list.”

Xu Xin and Molasar were both astonished.

“Resurrection?”

Luo Feng had a plan in mind; he would create one list himself.

His closest relatives, led by his wife, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai, would also have the authority to compile a resurrection list, representing Luo Feng’s family.

Original Ancestor, Chaos City Master, Hong, God of Thunder, Zhen Yan, and others would also compile a list, representing the human faction of the original universe.

Molasar, led by his teacher Di Chu and teacher Sitting Mountain Guest, would also form a group and compile a list. Di Qing, Di, Di Fu, Mo Yu Qing Yan, Di Chu Yu, and others would all have the right to make suggestions.

In the future, the Origin Continent Source World would also require a balance between these three parties.
