Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 191 Burden! (Supplement)

The speaker was none other than Luo Feng, who had passed the trials of Meteorite Star on Earth and arrived at the sacred land of Meteorite Star, a planet specifically for cultivating the lineage of Earth.

Sitting in front of him was Wang Yangming, a predecessor who had left Earth long ago.

Of course, Wang Yangming is not on this planet at the moment; the two are communicating through a virtual universe.

Wang Yangming smiled and said, "That's right, young friend Luo Feng."

"Earth is recognized as the top-tier planet by the Meteorite Star Holy Land, and its status is special."

"Therefore, for some deeper considerations, a great being personally set up a spatial blockade around Earth, spanning nearly a thousand light-years."

.

"This blockade has two sides, one internal and one external."

"At the same time, external beings cannot enter."

"Only by passing the basic test set up on the meteorite star on Earth and gaining initial approval can the beings inside break out of the blockade and see the real universe."

He paused slightly, his gaze falling on Luo Feng's suddenly frozen face, and continued, "But once you've come out of this situation, going back is no longer as simple as 'going home.'"

"Only by gaining the recognition of a great being can one return home."

Luo Feng's face darkened as he listened.

He fought desperately to defeat the Golden Horned Beast, and as soon as the tension in his heart eased a little, he immediately rushed into space without stopping, with only one thought in his mind: to find the soul treasure and save Hong and Thor!

They've finally made it to the universe, but before they've even figured out how to save people, they're hit with a bang—want to go back to Earth?

Take the exam first!

this..

"Senior Wang," Luo Feng said, his voice tinged with anxiety.

"Isn't there any room for compromise?"

Wang Yangming looked at Luo Feng and realized that the Earthlings who had been "guided from Earth to Qianlong Star" in the past were all ordinary people who had never cultivated.

Luo Feng, standing before them, already possessed cultivation, seemingly reaching the planetary level of strength.

It seems that quite a few things have changed on Earth in the years I've been away.

"Tell me what happened on Earth!" Wang Yangming said.

On "Hidden Dragon Star," the sages like him, who were brought from Earth, although homesick, did not have the same urgent need as Luo Feng.

The reason is simple: those who are brought here are mostly like him back then, who have no more attachments in their hometown, or whose close relatives and friends have all passed away, and are in their seventies.

More importantly, the "Trial of Returning Home" was extremely difficult, and it felt like its purpose had long surpassed the simple certification of "returning home," and was more like a selection of future leaders for the Earth lineage.

None of the older guys who arrived first have passed through yet, so even if they wanted to go back, they couldn't.

Luo Feng quickly explained the predicament he was facing.

"It seems that the way the Meteorite Star Holy Land nurtures Earth has changed again, which is why you were able to cultivate, why you had the opportunity to obtain that immortal inheritance, and why you encountered the Golden Horned Beast."

"But I just checked, and the requirements for returning haven't changed. It's impossible to make an exception and let them go back." Wang Yangming slowly shook his head.

Luo Feng's heart sank.

"However, there may be another solution to the predicament you mentioned," Wang Yangming pondered.

"You mentioned Hong and Thor, who were able to rise rapidly to the planetary level during the Great Nirvana Era and both comprehend the domain."

"Such talent and temperament are similar to those of our predecessors who came to 'Hidden Dragon Star'."

"I think I can use my points to ask Lord Xuan Yi, who is always watching over Earth, to help Hong and Lei Shen recover."

Luo Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Don't rush," Wang Yangming gestured, "Once their souls are restored and their strength is recovered, they must rely on their own abilities to pass the 'Meteorite Star Basic Assessment' that will take them to leave Earth."

"If you can pass through, you will be guided to this Hidden Dragon Star, just like you, and receive the orthodox inheritance and a wider world."

"If they fail to pass, it means they haven't reached the minimum threshold that the Meteorite Star lineage uses for Earth's geniuses."

"At that time, they will only be able to cultivate on their own within a limited environment, as the strong natives of Earth."

Luo Feng was stunned, then quickly weighed his options.

This is not a direct route home, but it is currently the only real hope to save Hong and Thor!

Moreover, if this opportunity can be used to bring the two elder brothers to the Meteorite Star Holy Land, it might be a blessing in disguise.

"Senior Wang!" Luo Feng took a deep breath, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and his eyes became firm again.

"How many points are needed? How can I obtain them? Please tell me! No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do it!"

He didn't care about the trials or how hard it was to earn points; as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would seize it.

Saving lives is the top priority; everything else can wait.

"Luo Feng, you're new here and haven't even established yourself yet. Earning points is no easy task."

"I'll pay for this first exchange of medicine and the points needed to ask Senior Xuan Yi for help."

"This can be considered as my contribution as a pioneer to the future talents of the world."

"As for the other planetary warriors you mentioned who died in the battle against the Golden Horned Beast, the points required for their resurrection are unimaginable."

"There's nothing I can do about this."

Luo Feng nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with sadness, but even more so with gratitude and determination: "I understand, thank you senior! It's already a great fortune that you were able to save my eldest and second brothers."

"As for others, if the opportunity arises in the future, I will certainly do my utmost to help them!"

"That's excellent." Wang Yangming stood up.

"Follow me. Now that you're here, you should have a clear understanding of the Sacred Land of Meteorite Star, our current location on Hidden Dragon Star, and even the future human cosmic landscape you will encounter."

In the days that followed, Wang Yangming, along with Luo Feng, systematically learned about these many things through the virtual universe.

"Any genius who passes the basic assessment and is brought here from Earth will automatically gain the status of a core disciple of Meteorite Star upon entering the Holy Land, and will be qualified to cultivate and study on Hidden Dragon Star," Wang Yangming explained as he walked.

"After a period of training here, the Holy Land will conduct a comprehensive evaluation based on our performance and potential."

"After that, based on the evaluation results and our own wishes, we can choose to join the various secret realms of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance for in-depth training."

"The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance?" Luo Feng couldn't help but interject with curiosity upon hearing this.

"Senior Wang, aren't we from the Sacred Land of Meteorite Star? Why are we going to the secret realm of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance?"

According to Wang Yangming's previous description, the founder of the Meteorite Star Holy Land was a great figure comparable to the most outstanding human beings, and should therefore be a self-contained entity.

"Haha," Wang Yangming laughed, "My Meteorite Star Holy Land has risen too quickly, and its own secret realm is not yet fully constructed."

"Therefore, the cultivation of geniuses usually relies on the secret realms of other forces."

"And it's not just the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance that's open to us. The Virtual Universe Company, the Giant Axe Arena, the First Cosmic Bank, and the Cosmic Galaxy Bank's many secret realms are also open to us. But—" He lowered his voice slightly.

"The founder of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance has a particularly close relationship with the founder of my Meteorite Star Holy Land, and their connection is the deepest."

"Therefore, the disciples who have left Qianlong Star throughout history have the highest proportion choosing to enter the secret realms under the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance for training, and they often receive more care and resources."

"Furthermore, after we emerge from these secret realms, we can continue our training at the Easy Travel Merchant Guild."

"Yixing Chamber of Commerce?" Luo Feng remembered the name. Wang Yangming had just introduced it. It was an extremely large commercial organization that crossed races and factions.

It is much larger than the five major human factions.

"Not bad." Wang Yangming nodded.

"The Yi Xing Chamber of Commerce has a powerful background, with businesses spanning the entire human realm and even extending to many other races, making it a veritable omnipotent entity."

"Among the high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce, there are those with close ties to the lineage of Meteorite Star."

"Many disciples from Earth who come out of the secret realm choose to join the Easy Travel Chamber of Commerce as managers. This is not only a well-paid position, but also allows them to see the styles of various races in the universe and accumulate resources through the Chamber of Commerce's channels. It is a safe and open path."

As Luo Feng listened, he was deeply shocked.

According to Wang Yangming's description, the sacred land of Meteorite Star seems to occupy a very special and transcendent position in the highest power structure of mankind.

It is not one of the five major powers, yet it can interact with them on an equal footing and even possesses unique channels and influence.

Outside of the human race, it also has a great relationship with the powerful cosmic force, the Yixing Merchant Guild.

The Earth lineage, as a special source branch within the sacred land of Meteorite Star, seems to hold a somewhat unusual position.

According to Wang Yangming, Earth seems to be the only planet in the Meteorite Star's jurisdiction.

Only it could prompt that great being to intervene and block it.

"Senior Wang, could it be that the great being who founded our Meteorite Star lineage also came from Earth?" Luo Feng asked.

When Wang Yangming heard Luo Feng's question, the smile on his face became somewhat subtle: "Since our ancestors from Earth came here, there have been many speculations about this matter."

"However, that one exists."

"Not to mention me, even the earliest sages who arrived here have never had the chance to see it, let alone verify it in person."

""

"Besides, there's something more important for you right now. I've already contacted Senior Xuan Yi, who's staying on Earth, through special channels regarding the treatment of your brother Hong and Thor. He should be taking care of it." Wang Yangming changed the subject, drawing Luo Feng's attention back to reality.

"And this is only for your brother. I think you still have family members on Earth who need to be reunited with."

"If you want to send a virtual universe sensing device to Earth so that your family can have an initial meeting with you in the virtual universe," or to seek better life evolution opportunities for your parents and relatives in the future.

"All of this requires consuming the points you've earned here. This is the rule of the Holy Land; even if I wanted to help, I couldn't do it for you."

Wang Yangming patted Luo Feng on the shoulder: "Therefore, young friend Luo Feng, what you should do most right now is to calm down and cultivate diligently here on 'Hidden Dragon Star'."

"Once your cultivation improves, you will earn enough points by completing some basic trials or assigned tasks, and many things will naturally fall into place."

"Once your elder brothers pass Earth's basic tests and are guided here, we, the ancestors of Earth's lineage, will hold a grand welcome party for the three of you brothers."

In the primordial universe, within the sacred land of Meteorite Star.

Hu Yanbo withdrew his gaze from the direction of "Hidden Dragon Star".

Luo Feng's arrival at the sacred land of Meteorite Star, as well as Wang Yangming's guidance and arrangements for him, were all within his perception.

"The main character has arrived," Hu Yanbo thought to himself.

On the day Luo Feng appeared, he had already completed the first stage of the "Divine Power Flow" cultivation system and repaid the "True God-level Will" by relying on the advance system.

Currently, his Nine Netherworld clone is repaying the True God Peak Will that he received in advance.

According to the system's requirements and the characteristics of the Black-Veined Stone Pillar space, this process requires a continuous "hanging" period of approximately 30,000 years.

"As for the repayment of the second stage of the Divine Power Flow!" Hu Yanbo shook his head slightly.

The price to pay would be so high that even if one obtained the flesh and skin of all the true gods in the current universe, it would not be enough to repay the debt.

Therefore, before the world of Jin could possibly arrive, Huyan Bo could only strengthen his will.

"Thirty thousand years—" Hu Yanbo pondered to himself.

In the original story, Luo Feng at that point in time seemed to have already become an invincible Realm Lord.

"However, given the current state of the universe—" Hu Yanbo pondered for a moment.

In the original novel, Luo Feng's rapid rise to prominence was certainly due to his own talent and perseverance, but it was also inseparable from the enormous pressure from the external environment.

The core goals that drove Luo Feng to fight desperately in the original work—"protecting the Earth," "reclaiming ownership of the Earth," and "contributing to the cause during the ethnic crisis"—are now almost non-existent.

Therefore, in order to allow Luo Feng to unleash the same terrifying growth momentum as in the original work.

Hu Yanbo had no choice but to use Earth as bait to put pressure on Luo Feng.

Luo Feng did indeed feel the pressure, which was no less than when he faced the Golden Horned Beast.

The threat of the Golden Horned Beast is violent but short-lived; once you get through it, the world will be your oyster.

The current pressure stems from the tug-of-war between time and family ties: his parents, wife Xu Xin, young sons Luo Hai and Luo Ping, and younger brother Luo Hua—all of whom are still at an ordinary level of life and have limited lifespans.

He was afraid that while he was striving in this vast universe, he might accidentally separate his loved ones from his hometown forever.

"At the planetary level, there are no missions specifically for earning points." Luo Feng looked at the missions that a disciple of the Earth lineage could earn in his virtual universe apartment.

"Eternal Star Level." Luo Feng locked his gaze and clicked on the only mission entry above the Eternal Star Level.

The light screen unfolded, revealing a striking title: "The Ultimate Battle of Human Geniuses in the Universe".

Break into the top 100 in the entire universe and you will be rewarded with 100 base points.

Make it into the top ten and you'll receive 1000 points.

Securing first place earns you 10000 points.

Luo Feng's gaze swept quickly over the numbers, and his heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

The top 100 only receive 100 points.

According to the exchange list he had quickly glanced at earlier, a set of virtual universe sensing devices to be sent to Earth was priced at exactly 10.

0 points.

In other words, he must at least break into the top 100 to have any hope of getting a ticket for his family to enter the virtual universe.

The first place winner's 10,000 points gave him the confidence to send resources that could substantially improve his strength or extend his lifespan to Earth.

"It's so dark!"

The high-quality, inexpensive virtual universe sensors from the outside world can only be obtained by the top 100 in the "Genius Battle" on Earth.

"black!"
