It seems that spending a lot of time in the simulation isn't without its advantages...
At least, the original plan was to solidify the foundation before breaking through to the Venerable level, but after one simulation, it all came naturally, and he even recognized the supreme treasure as his master.
Never mind, he'll never lose out anyway.
Speaking of which, Xu Zhen was really unlucky. With this set of divine armor protecting him, theoretically he could walk around freely in the primordial universe or the cosmic sea. Even if the Giant Axe Founder got his natal supreme treasure, the Giant Axe, it wouldn't be so easy for him to defeat him!
Because the True Divine Armor can ignore attacks below the eighth rank, and can even reduce attacks above the eighth rank to one millionth of their original value!
Furthermore, ordinary true gods cannot break through the upper limit of this divine armor!
Normally in the primordial universe, with this divine armor protecting him, no matter how many universe lords or the strongest beings ganged up on him, they couldn't break him. In the cosmic sea, he couldn't just stand there and let the giant axe stand still and attack!
But after being lured to the Chaos Ruins by Lin Hao, he could only exert the strength of a top-tier sixth-order cultivator, and he still had to withstand attacks from a giant axe of eighth-order or higher... It was a complete tragedy!
Lin Hao familiarized himself with the divine armor while frantically studying the secret techniques, but he always felt something was missing...
The sense of improvement from practicing on your own is nowhere near as satisfying as having a nice older sister for a quickie!
Although he possesses the most powerful treasures, he is currently an absolute cosmic overlord in terms of combat strength.
However, there's no rush to go out and cause trouble for the big shots right now; let's wait until everyone's done with this busy period.
So Lin Hao indulged in a leisurely time, playing cards with his good sisters while also focusing on his cultivation.
……
At this moment, suspicion and unease permeated the three races.
They strongly suspected the human race, but could neither confirm the whereabouts of the Star Tower nor was they filled with inexplicable fear of the "Death of the Illusory One".
Faced with the human race's tight defensive posture and invisible strategic deterrence, they still did not dare to make up their minds to launch a full-scale war.
The Zerg Queen, the Dream Demon Ancestor, and the Mechanical Father are constantly plotting, but they are forced to be cautious and wait-and-see in their actions, instead intensifying their espionage activities and covert planning in an attempt to uncover the truth.
Instead, it maintained a strange balance.
……
Consciousness, as if passing through a viscous layer of oil, finally broke free from its heavy constraints.
Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and what came into view was not Puti's gentle or serious face, nor the ancient and mysterious walls of the Inheritance Hall, but... absolute silence.
The massive core hall of the Star Tower was completely empty.
Only the faint light filtering from the dome and the ancient patterns covering the ground silently proclaimed the passage of time.
"Senior Puti?"
Luo Feng tentatively called out, his voice echoing in the empty hall, sounding particularly lonely.
no respond.
Luo Feng felt a tightness in his heart, and a huge sense of emptiness surged up.
Has the recognition of the Lord been successful?
But where did Puti go?
What terrified him even more was the sense of time passing—more than 6000 years!
More than six thousand years passed in his endless suffering!
"family!"
The thought struck him like a bolt of lightning.
After so long without any news, how worried must their parents, younger brother Luo Hua, Xu Xin, and others on Earth be?
What if... on the other side of Earth?
Panic overwhelmed him instantly.
He immediately tried to connect to the virtual universe.
Thankfully, we were able to connect.
Swish!
Virtual universe, Jiuxing Bay on Heilongshan Island, Luo Feng's manor.
Almost instantly, Luo Feng's figure materialized in the living room.
Before he could even call out, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted over.
"Ah Feng! You're finally back!!"
Xu Xin hugged him tightly, tears welling up instantly, her body trembling slightly from excitement and lingering fear.
Immediately afterwards, the father, Luo Hongguo, the mother, Gong Xinlan, and the younger brother, Luo Hua, rushed in, their eyes red-rimmed, their faces showing a mixture of relief after euphoria and lingering fear.
"Xiaofeng! You brat, you've worried us to death!"
Luo Hongguo's voice was hoarse as he forcefully patted Luo Feng's shoulder.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..."
Gong Xinlan wiped away her tears and kept repeating the same thing.
Luo Feng felt a mix of bittersweet emotions, and hugged Xu Xin tightly, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm fine, I'm alright!"
It took a while of calming them down before the family members gradually calmed down.
Seeing that they looked worried but also in good spirits, Luo Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief before asking the question that had been on his mind: "How has everything been at home these past few years? Is anyone there...?"
"Everything is fine at home!"
Luo Hua interrupted, a dreamlike expression on her face, "Brother, not long after you disappeared, several 'sisters' took turns coming to visit us at home."
"elder sister?"
Luo Feng was taken aback.
"It's Sister Zhao Ruo, Sister Janet, and that alluring sister and Sister Jiang Fang."
Xu Xin wiped away her tears, her face showing gratitude and a hint of awe. "Each of them... is now an incredibly powerful being! Earth is alright, with the company's executives and those sisters looking after us. Those forces outside Earth that once had designs on our family dare not harbor any wicked thoughts under the protection of those sisters. They also brought us a lot of cultivation resources and told us to wait for you to come back. They said... they said you are doing something very important and cannot be contacted for the time being."
Luo Feng was completely dumbfounded.
He knew his older sisters Zhao Ruo, Janet, Yao Rao, and Jiang Fang, but when did they become "super, super powerful beings"?
What did the eldest brother do this time?
What kind of power would it take to make those extraterrestrial forces afraid to provoke it?
Seeing her husband's blank expression, Xu Xin added, "Sister Zhao Ruo and the others said that all we need to know is that with them around, Earth and the Luo family are as solid as a rock. Their strength... is said to have reached the level of 'High-Level Venerable.' And there's more than one..."
High-ranking Venerables? And more than one?!
Luo Feng felt like his thoughts were like rusty gears, stuck and unable to turn.
He had anticipated countless bleak scenarios upon returning home, but he never expected it to be like this.
The family, which should have lost its pillar, not only remained unharmed but was also protected like a cub by at least four high-ranking Venerables.
All of this seems to point to that mysterious and audacious senior brother—Lin Hao!
After the immense relief that the family was safe, came an overwhelming sense of bewilderment—just how much trouble had the eldest brother caused? And what about Senior Puti?
After reassuring his family, Luo Feng immediately searched for information about the seventh battlefield of the extraterrestrial battlefield in the virtual universe.
Then, he was even more confused.
Forums, announcements, and internal communication areas of various legions... were flooded with discussions about a shocking piece of news:
The Star Tower... has vanished!
"The Star Tower has left the Seventh Battlefield of the Extraterritorial Battlefield! Only a huge void remains at its original coordinates!"
"Did the True Demon God successfully claim the Star Tower as his master and take it away, or did he encounter some misfortune?"
"All the kings and elites of various races within the Star Tower are suspected to have disappeared!!"
"Explore the 'Star Tower Apocalypse'! The Former Forbidden Land is Now a Desolate Wasteland!"
"..."
The shocking headlines filling the screen left Luo Feng completely petrified.
The Star Tower... is gone?
Where am I?
That black light... is it the illusory demon god?
He entered the Star Tower?!
Then what happened? How could the tower just vanish into thin air?!
He couldn't possibly acknowledge a Lord; if he did, what have I been doing for the past 6000 years?!
A chill ran from Luo Feng's tailbone to the top of his head.
Could it be that during the period of slumber after recognizing its master, a battle erupted within the Star Tower that even Senior Puti...
He tried to contact his senior brother Lin Hao, Zhao Ruo, Jiang Fang, and the Lord of Chaos City.
But no one replied to him!
"Hey, can't even one of you check your emails?!"
After finally managing to contact King Zhenyan, King Zhenyan was overjoyed that his disciple had returned safely, but he also had no idea what had happened.
My understanding of the Star Tower Incident is exactly the same as those on the forums who are just watching the show...
Luo Feng didn't just sit and wait. He immediately tried to use the Divine Kingdom Teleportation function, which he had enslaved within the tower, to send the immortal king out.
Skill activation...failed!
What exactly did the illusory demon god do?
Where is Senior Puti?
I'm still inside the tower!
Is it dangerous outside the Star Tower?
A tremendous sense of absurdity and a feeling of utter helplessness gripped Luo Feng's heart.
