Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

Chapter 125 Arranging Earth Affairs, Heading to the Virtual Universe
Wu Hao teleported to the Jiuxingwan residential area on Heilongshan Island, looking at the familiar buildings of the community.

This is a residential area that Wu Hao and Luo Feng specifically purchased for Earthlings to enter the virtual universe after they became wealthy.

Wu Hao appeared out of thin air on his lawn, then reached out and opened the front door before walking out.

He sent an email to Luo Feng, but saw that the other party did not reply immediately. He then sent an email to Hong and Lei Shen, but none of the three replied.

Wu Hao immediately realized that the three of them had probably gone to participate in some kind of trial, most likely the cosmic mercenary assessment.

Wu Hao then stopped waiting in the room and called Merhandson, asking him to come see him immediately.

Five minutes later, at the hot spring in the Jiuxingwan residential area, Mohanderson arrived with East and Jia Yi to meet them.

Upon seeing the situation of the three, Wu Hao's face instantly broke into a smile.

"Wow, it's been so many years! The three of you have all become high-level planetary-level martial artists!"

The three of them are now at the eighth level of the planetary realm, Ester at the seventh level of the planetary realm, and Jia Yi at the seventh level of the planetary realm.

Mohandsen even made initial progress in the field of ice and snow, becoming another little genius on Earth.

"It's all thanks to the secret manuals that Chairman Wu bought from the universe that the three of us have been able to get to this point. If we had relied on our own efforts, we would probably still be struggling at the fifth or sixth level of the planetary stage!" After entering the universe, Mohandsen seemed to have smoothed out his rough edges and was no longer as fiery as he was on Earth.

"Hey, this is all thanks to your own hard work. I don't recall giving you any manuals that would allow you to comprehend a domain!" Wu Hao reached out and enlarged the 'angel' from his shoulder. "This is a cultivation manual I bought in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom that can lead to immortality. Each of you three can choose one and switch to it!"

"What?!" Mohandsen, East, and Jia Yi exclaimed in unison, their disbelief evident in their expressions.

Jia Yi couldn't help but ask, "President Wu, what is your current strength? How are you able to buy a secret manual that allows you to cultivate to immortality?"

Wu Hao turned to look at him, carefully considering whether or not to tell him what was going on, but then he shook his head.

There's no point in hiding it now; he's come to this point, and anyone can find out where his hometown is just by checking.

"I have already completed the internal selection competition in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and officially become a core member. I have also instructed the important figures in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom to take care of the Earthlings for me. As long as you do not oppress the good, you can walk sideways in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire from now on!"

Wu Hao looked at the three of them again and gave each of them 100 million Qianwu Universe Coins.

This money was nothing to him, but for the three of them, it was the most money they had ever seen in their lives.

"Chairman Wu!" Mohandson's tone was now as respectful as a pope to a deity. He looked at Wu Hao as if on a pilgrimage and asked, "What exactly do you intend to do with this money you've given us?"

Wu Hao said, "Of the 500,000 Qianwu coins, it's for the three of you to improve your strength and reach the Stellar level as soon as possible. Each of you must quickly comprehend the laws. The remaining 500,000 are for you to buy potions that can enhance the overall quality of Earthlings. I will have angels monitor the flow of funds in your three bank accounts to ensure that the money is spent on the right things."

"Yes!" The three immediately bowed respectfully. With these 50 Qianwu coins, they would not have to worry about not having enough money to support their cultivation until they reached the Stellar level, nor would they need to spend time and energy on making money.

"Work hard! If the three of you work hard enough, it's not impossible to allocate more resources to you!" Wu Hao immediately promised the three of them a lucrative deal.

These three are currently the strongest humans on Earth, aside from the four Wu brothers, since humanity entered the universe.

The three of them possess the potential to rise from kings to immortality, but they are currently limited by their bloodlines and cultivation resources, preventing them from fully displaying their talents.

With sufficient investment, it's not impossible for them to become famous throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the future.

Of course, everyone has their own opportunities, and Wu Hao doesn't know how far they will ultimately go.

Watching the group leave, Wu Hao turned to go see some of his subordinates in the Planetary Council, but suddenly received a letter from Luo Feng.

"What? You gained a great deal in the realm within a realm?" Wu Hao looked at Luo Feng, not expecting the plot to continue so strongly.

It is now 2060. In the original story, Thor and Hun had just awakened from their soul-burning state at this point in time.

And now, they have already gained a great deal from within this realm.

"Yes, it's all thanks to Ming Yu, whom you knew before. If it weren't for him protecting us, we wouldn't have gained so much!" Luo Feng said with a smile. "This time, Ming Yu even gave me 10000 life-bearing planets!"

"You have to give me half of this!" Wu Hao reached out his hand and demanded, "Give it back to me when you get it back."

Wu Hao spoke up because if Luo Feng didn't have a powerful backer, he definitely wouldn't have dared to accept these 10,000 life-bearing planets.

But he was now Luo Feng's backer, so he spoke up without thinking.

"Okay, it was meant to be shared with you anyway!" Luo Feng said with a smile. "I can have it all. I didn't want it originally, but Babata said you needed it, so I agreed."

"By the way, Luo Feng, how much did you gain this time?" Wu Hao carefully recalled Luo Feng's gains in the original novel, thinking about how much he could get. "The majority of a realm lord's net worth should be between one trillion and fifty trillion universe coins. If you can get a portion of that, it should be around ten trillion!"

Luo Feng nodded and said, "Babata estimated for me that my gains this time should be around 15 trillion cosmic coins. I won't be short of money for a long time to come!"

“Okay!” Wu Hao nodded. “I have now completed the internal selection of the Virtual Universe Company and became a core member with the highest score in the entire human nation. Next, I will go to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company. It may be hundreds of years before I can meet you in reality.”

"What? Number one in the entire human kingdom?" Thor and Hong exclaimed in surprise. They had thought they could show off their gains to Wu Hao, but they never expected that compared to Wu Hao, their achievements in the Realm Within a Realm were nothing.

"There was no other way, so I bought a cultivation manual!" Wu Hao looked at the three of them calmly. "I practiced it casually for only three years, and now no one can beat me at the Stellar level."

"!" "!" "!"

The three of them instantly changed their gazes towards Wu Hao. This ancient, arrogant aura confirmed that it belonged to the pre-Great Nirvana era. "In the next six years, the Virtual Universe Company will hold a Cosmic Genius Battle covering the entire human realm, open to all ninth-tier star-level powerhouses. All three of you must participate!"

As Wu Hao spoke, an angel's information projection appeared on his hand.

The projection displayed various manuals and weapons, all of which were among the major martial arts techniques and weapons in the universe.

For example, there are nine types of telekinetic weapons, as well as thousands of martial arts manuals from different schools.

“You can each choose one. Give me your money later, and I will buy one for each of you through the Virtual Universe Company’s internal channels in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. All three of you must achieve good rankings in the Universe World War and strive to enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company.”

The three of them were overwhelmed by the dazzling array of weapons and martial arts techniques. Wu Hao smirked at Babata and said, "Little devil, hurry up and choose some for your three successors from Meteorite Star!"

Babata immediately jumped off Luo Feng's shoulder and stomped his foot at Wu Hao: "Wu Hao, you treacherous bastard! If it weren't for Meteorite Star passing on his skills to you, how could you have achieved what you have today? How dare you treat Lord Babata like this! You're really infuriating!"

But after venting his anger, he still came to Wu Hao and started searching for the three of them on the virtual screen.

“Luo Feng, let’s buy the Divine Weapon, this one is the most suitable for you! Hong, you buy this ‘Morning Light Meteor’, and Lei Shen, you buy this ‘Nine Thunder Annihilation’.”

The three of them immediately opened the information on weapons and techniques and began to examine it carefully.

At this moment, Thor's artificial intelligence jumped out, clearly dissatisfied with the cultivation method chosen by Babata. The two AIs immediately started arguing, but Babata won the argument.

All three chose their own cultivation techniques and weapons, their eyes filled with fighting spirit. After six years of honing their best techniques and secret manuals, they were destined to make a name for themselves in the Cosmic Genius Battle.

Wu Hao immediately nodded and said, "Since you've already made your choice, I'll buy them for you first. Then I'll send them all to Bailan Star. You can just wait to receive them."

After saying that, he turned to Luo Feng and said, "Next, you should send me half of the money you get from the auction, based on the market price. Consider the other half as my contribution to Earth. While I'm away, the three of you should take good care of Earth and nurture the geniuses."

"Okay!" The three nodded in unison, without saying anything mushy. They were a team, and Wu Hao was putting in more effort now, but they would repay him in the future.

"Okay!" Wu Hao nodded. "In that case, I'll go offline now to buy you some items. Keep up the good work in the coming days! I'll be waiting for you at the Virtual Universe Company headquarters!"

After Wu Hao went offline, he had the angels invest some funds and distribute them to all the planetary-level powerhouses on Earth, giving each of them 10 cosmic coins.

Earth currently has a total of 148 planetary levels, and it only cost 1480 million cosmic coins, which is a far cry from the investment he made in Luo Feng and the other two.

But investment isn't calculated that way. If you invest in Luo Feng and the other two, they all have a chance to enter the virtual universe company. But if you invest too much in other Earthlings, you simply won't be able to recoup your costs.

He had limited resources, which he also needed to fund his own cultivation. If he wanted to get Wu Hao's money, he had to demonstrate his value.

Wu Hao is destined to become the leader of the Earthlings in the future. The most important thing about being the leader is to be able to suppress all the opponents in the race with his own strength.

Therefore, the more investment is made in Earthlings, the more diligently one must work in cultivation to avoid being surpassed by future generations.

"King Gejian, there are three guys in my clan with potential that are only slightly weaker than mine. I want to invest in each of them and provide them with a top-tier cultivation technique and weapon. I wonder if you could help me purchase them!" After returning from the virtual universe, Wu Hao immediately sought out Gejian, who was protecting him.

"Oh?" Ge Jian instantly became excited. "Who is this person who also has such potential as you?"

This made him excited. Wu Hao was a genius at the billion-epoch level. He was a little weaker than him, but even if he wasn't at the ten-million-epoch level, he was still a genius with great potential.

It's just three sets of cultivation techniques and secret manuals. Even if he paid for them out of his own pocket, he wouldn't let such a genius be sullied.

"As you know, I come from an indigenous planet and haven't been cultivating for very long. My fellow clansmen haven't been cultivating for very long either, and they don't have any good cultivation techniques yet, so they haven't shown much potential." Wu Hao tried to be tactful, but in reality, he was just trying to belittle Ge Jian so as not to act impulsively. If he disrupted Luo Feng and the other two's cultivation or prematurely exposed the special nature of Earth, he would be a sinner for all time.

The best course of action would be for Ge Jian to misunderstand that Wu Hao had ulterior motives and wanted to give his fellow clansmen on Earth a back door.

"Oh, I see!" Ge Jian understood the meaning behind Wu Hao's words and immediately lost interest in paying attention.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

It's perfectly normal for Wu Hao to have such thoughts, after all, he did the same thing back then.

Moreover, it's one thing for a native planet to produce a genius like Wu Hao, but having three others is just too outrageous.

King Gejian then pointed to a bank account and said, "Transfer the cosmic coins to me, and I'll arrange for someone to buy them for you!"

"Okay!" Wu Hao immediately transferred the money to King Gejian at the market price. Then he said again, "Thank you, King Gejian. I owe you a favor. You will definitely see the value of this favor in the next few eras!"

"Hahahaha!" Ge Jian burst into laughter. He knew the weight of Wu Hao's words; a promise made in youth is far more profound than one made in maturity. "Alright, I look forward to the day you have the strength to repay that favor!"

And so, half a month later, Wu Hao boarded the spaceship bound for the Virtual Universe Company.

The universe is vast. The Qianwu Universe Kingdom is 15 trillion light-years away from the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company. Even if you travel in the dark universe, it would take 50 times the speed of light to reach it within three years.

Wu Hao sat cross-legged inside the spaceship, cultivating without being disturbed by anything, focusing all his attention on his cultivation.

After entering the initial universe, his first task is to challenge the Bridge to Heaven, thereby making a name for himself throughout the entire initial universe.

He must ensure that his first teacher is at least a cosmic venerable being, or even someone who is directly accepted as a disciple by the cosmic lord.
