Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

The Golden Sword Empire—on a rocky planet outside of Xinxiang.

"Rick, get up. Our collaboration is about to begin!"

At Wu Hao's shout, a hole instantly appeared in the ground, and a metal head emerged from it.

Upon closer inspection, the owner of that metal head resembled a Gundam.

As soon as the Gundam emerged from the cave, its eyes lit up instantly, with the lights on its eyes turned up to the maximum.

“Chairman Wu, you’ve finally remembered me!” Gundam’s eyes seemed to be brimming with tears. “I’ve been here for almost a hundred years. If it weren’t for your request, I would have left Earth civilization long ago.”

Wu Hao nodded and said, "Luckily you didn't run away, otherwise, even if you left the territory of the human race, I could still catch you and bring you back!"

Upon hearing Wu Hao's words, Gundam immediately tightened its grip on its head, avoiding eye contact with Wu Hao.

Wu Hao nodded in satisfaction, then instructed him, "Come back to Xinxiang Star with me. I've already applied for human status for you. From now on, you are a member of the human race, and you can connect to the virtual universe!"

"Really!" A smile immediately appeared on Gundam's face, and the light from the two large bulbs curved into crescent moons.

After each reincarnator was resurrected by Wu Hao, they were able to integrate into human life normally. However, this Gundam bloodline exchange user was different; he had become a machine and could no longer turn back into a human.

More importantly, he truly became a silicon-based life form; the organism was his body, and he would experience pain when the organism was damaged.

His body had completely merged into this Gundam, and unlike the Machine Race, he could not freely transfer his data to change his body.

Gundam Fusion allowed his human soul to completely merge into this physical body.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that he can survive in the body of a Gundam without worrying about the death of carbon-based life forms, and he can even cultivate the laws with this body.

The downside is that he doesn't have the ability to change his mechanical carrier like the Machine Race. If this Gundam body dies, then it's truly dead.

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?" Wu Hao tossed the other person a wristwatch, which was a login device for a virtual universe company. Wu Hao had specifically requested this device from Manxinghou.

This high-end device is bound to the soul. As long as the soul is human, regardless of its appearance, it can log in to the virtual universe network.

There are countless powerful humans in the universe, and many of them choose to possess the bodies of other races to cultivate. The way to distinguish races is, of course, by their souls.

However, no matter how hard a soul tries to possess another body, it cannot possess a machine. The usual verification method will automatically lock the login when connected to a metal body. Even within the human race, if the login is locked, people from the Virtual Universe Company will come to check the situation.

Therefore, the one Wu Hao requested from the Marquis of Manxing was specially made for Rick.

It binds users only to their human souls and does not conduct secondary verification of the physical bodies of other races.

Rick the Reincarnator is a Gundam that has obtained an S-class bloodline. He fused with the most powerful mecha in the God Space and used human technology in the Alien Universe to carry out large-scale modifications to his body. His true strength is no less than that of an ordinary star-level powerhouse.

After Wu Hao brought him to the Golden Sword Universe Kingdom, he arranged for him to cultivate and comprehend the laws, to see if he could use his metal body to understand the laws of devouring worlds.

Finally, after hundreds of years of training, this kid proved that his life form could indeed cultivate and comprehend the power of laws normally.

However, physical strength must be modified and upgraded using technology, rather than being cultivated and evolved slowly like normal humans.

But that's exactly what Wu Hao wanted. Wu Hao's next business venture is based on this Gundam lineage.

In the human world, countless powerful beings are nearing their end and unable to break through. Leaving aside the humans of the Cosmic Kingdom, the vast majority of those in secret realms and divine kingdoms can only reach the ninth level of the World Lord level, let alone break through to immortality.

When the lifespan of a Realm Lord is about to end, many of them are so talented that they can fight against Immortals as Realm Lords, or even fight against Marquises as Realm Lords.

Can the wealth of a realm lord be the same as that of an ordinary realm lord? In order to survive, he must continue on the path of the strong.

Wu Hao didn't believe they wouldn't be willing to transform themselves into this Gundam bloodline. As long as Wu Hao monopolized the modification of this bloodline from the source, he could obtain wealth comparable to Virtual Universe Corporation.

Even when they become the rulers of the universe in the future, they may create a sixth major power among humankind.

“Let’s go. You’ll be busy non-stop from now on,” Wu Hao said, looking at Rick’s Gundam body. “I will register a company in my name, and you will contribute your technology as equity, holding five percent of the shares. Are you willing?”

"I'll contribute my technology as equity?" Rick's mechanical brain went blank for a moment, unable to think of any technology he could use as equity, enough to take a 5% stake in Wu Hao's company. "What technology do I have that would give me a 5% stake?"

"Of course it's your synesthetic fusion technology!" Wu Hao said dismissively. "Your synesthetic fusion allows your soul to enter mechanical metal. This kind of fusion is an extremely valuable asset, enough to earn money that can influence the entire human civilization."

"Of course, you can't control this money, you can't control this technology, and even I'm in trouble! I might hand over the remaining shares to higher-ups to prevent others from coveting this business!"

After Wu Hao finished speaking, he took Rick and left the rocky planet, returning to Earth.

"Next, I will purchase ten thousand slaves for you, allowing you to carry out Gundam fusion modifications. The day you fully master the technology will be the day we expand our business throughout the entire Jinlan Universe!"

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the years, Wu Hao has been frantically creating clones to cultivate while simultaneously teaching Xiao one-on-one.

Xiao learned how to cultivate the Shadow Clone Technique, and at the same time, he kept eating Bodhi Fruits to cultivate. Soon, he reached the ninth level of the Light Domain, the level recognized by the origin of the laws.

Wu Hao also registered him in the Virtual Universe Company branch, waiting for the next internal selection competition, which he would then allow him to participate in.

After cultivating in Chaos City for thirty years, he can enter those secret realms and make up for not taking advantage of the virtual universe company at the cosmic level.

Time flies, and another ten years have passed.

Xiao has now successfully joined the Virtual Universe Company as the winner of the internal selection competition and has become a member of the Stellar-level Primal Secret Realm.

He is now aboard the spaceship of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters, heading towards Chaos City.

Another piece of good news is that Luo Feng broke through to the Domain Lord level several decades later than in the original story, having exhausted all the secret realms at the cosmic level before finally achieving this breakthrough.

At this moment, Luo Feng also possessed the level of the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, which was similar to when Wu Hao broke through to the Domain Lord level.

In his message to Wu Hao, he briefly explained his current situation and invited Wu Hao to join the Virtual Universe Company for a chat.

During his years of cultivation, Wu Hao had indeed neglected his relationships with anyone other than Luo Feng, and he had completely severed ties with Hong and Lei Shen. His previous sworn brotherhood with Hong and Lei Shen was precisely to peacefully hand over the leadership of humanity to them.

Later, he even invested in him, helping him to compete in the ultimate genius battle. Unfortunately, after failing in the genius battle, Hong and Lei Shen never took the initiative to contact Wu Hao again.

Now that Luo Feng still wants to take the initiative to bring this crucial relationship together, he naturally has to give him some face.

Soon Wu Hao landed on Yuxiang Mountain and flew towards the villa where Luo Feng was.

Both of them are now members of the Primal Secret Realm at the Domain Lord level. The accommodations arranged by the Virtual Universe Company are very close to each other. Soon, Luo Feng walked out of the door in high spirits and hugged Wu Hao.

"Brother Wu, it's been over a hundred years since we last met. Time really flies!" Luo Feng's face was full of emotion. They hadn't seen each other in reality since they parted ways in Chaos City.

"Haha, it's alright. We're all working hard for humanity. We're all close even though we're far apart!" Wu Hao casually comforted them, and the two began to tell each other about their own experiences.

"Yes, I've heard about it already!" Wu Hao patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and said, "You've surpassed Bo Lan and are now the number one in this year's Peak Genius Battle!"

Luo Feng smiled and then said, "I've never considered Bolan a rival. Brother Wu, you've always been my target."

"Hahaha!" Wu Hao handed a secret manual to Luo Feng. It was the Shadow Clone Technique, which could only be cultivated by humans of Earth blood. "Take this. Remember, before we both reach the King-level, don't give it to anyone else to cultivate, otherwise no one can protect it."

Luo Feng took it out and saw that it contained the cultivation method for Shadow Clone Technique.

As the user of the Sharingan, Luo Feng was naturally aware of the Shadow Clone Technique, but at the time he thought it was similar to other clone techniques and did not choose to exchange for it.

Now that Wu Hao has taken this out, it must have some special use.

"Let's go find Thor and Hong outside. They left the virtual universe company branch of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and entered the Giant Axe Arena to train." Luo Feng pulled Wu Hao and prepared to teleport away.

"What?" Wu Hao hadn't paid attention to the two's movements before, but he didn't expect that the two of them would go to the Giant Axe Arena to train again, just like in the original story.

Damn it, Hong, is he going to venture into that Environmental Ocean? If the Earth's special characteristics were exposed so many years in advance, he really wouldn't be able to cover it up now.

Moreover, Earth holds the secrets of the God Realm. Once the giant axe descends upon Earth, as the strongest being in the universe, he will be able to see all the secrets of Earth in an instant.

As he browses through the river of time, he wonders if he can grasp the special characteristics of Wu Hao and Luo Feng, thereby uncovering a little-known secret about reincarnators and putting them in danger.

Wu Hao became increasingly panicked as he thought about it, and quickly teleported with Luo Feng to meet Thor and Hong.

“Brother, we’ve really made a name for ourselves this time in the Illusionary Sea. You cleared twenty levels and I cleared seventeen. We’re probably going to be famous throughout the Giant Axe Arena and become true core disciples.”

As soon as Wu Hao teleported over, he heard Thor and Hong chatting, and everything went black before his eyes.

He knew that he didn't have much time left. Once the giant axe's findings spread to the Virtual Universe Company, Earth's uniqueness would be coveted by a large group of cosmic venerables.

As the ruler of Earth, he would be the first to bear the brunt of the pressure from a group of venerable beings.

Moreover, if the giant axe really does discover Earth's special characteristics as he predicted, even the Lord of Darkness might not be able to protect him.

The only thing he can gamble on now is the authority of the Supreme God, which is far superior to that of the Giant Axe. After all, the Supreme God is a true multiverse-level big shot, not something that the Giant Axe, the strongest being in the universe, can compare to.

After all, the strongest beings in the universe are not even at the level of a single universe.

Sweat beaded on Wu Hao's forehead. He knew that what he should do most at this moment was to inform his sect about the special nature of Earth in advance, seek protection from the Virtual Universe Company, and strive to gain more benefits for himself.

Although the Lord of Darkness does not have as much influence as the Lord of Chaos, he is absolutely capable of protecting Earth from being seized by some cosmic lords.

With that in mind, Wu Hao didn't even greet Hong Helei God before immediately teleporting away from the meeting place and then quickly heading to his senior brother Dark Star Venerable's residence.

"Senior brother, senior brother!" Wu Hao sent an email to Dark Star Venerable while flying on Thunder Island.

Soon, the Dark Star Venerable finished his cultivation and teleported Wu Hao to his side.

"What happened again? Has another alien race come to assassinate you?" Dark Star Venerable's voice came through, but before Wu Hao could answer, a call notification came from Wu Hao's phone.

The caller was none other than the Cosmic Venerable, the Undying Venerable, from the Giant Axe Arena.

As one of the most outstanding beings among the universe's venerables, the Undying Venerable is far stronger than the Dark Star Venerable.

Didi, Wu Hao connected with the Undying Venerable's call, and soon the other party's voice came from the void.

"Wu Hao, I want to buy all ownership of Earth from you for 50 million Chaos Yuan. I wonder if you agree?"

As soon as the Immortal Venerable spoke, the Dark Star Venerable frowned.

He knew that Earth couldn't possibly be worth 5000 million Hunyuan, yet the Undying Venerable was willing to spend 5000 million Hunyuan to buy it. There must be something fishy going on.

Before Wu Hao could answer, Dark Star Venerable's voice rang out from beside him.

"You're not dead. Wu Hao is a disciple of our lineage. Do you want to take advantage of us?"

Upon hearing Dark Star Venerable's words, Undying Venerable's expression changed drastically. As a high-ranking member of humanity, he naturally knew Dark Star Venerable's background.

Rumor has it that the Virtual Universe Company has five Universe Masters, one of whom lives in seclusion in the Cosmic Sea and rarely returns to the Original Universe. Dark Star and even the Lord of Ice are disciples of this Universe Master.

"Dark Star, what are you doing here!" The Undying Venerable knew he couldn't gain any advantage, so he immediately hung up the phone.

However, the Undying was not the first Venerable to contact Wu Hao. Several other Universe Venerables then used their privileges to obtain Wu Hao's contact information.

The call came in instantly, but when they saw Anxing next to Wu Hao, their expressions changed immediately.

Even if Dark Star were a fool at this moment, he would know that Earth must have something special about it, otherwise it wouldn't have attracted the covetousness of those Venerable Ones.

"Wu Hao, what exactly is on Earth that so many Venerables covet?" (End of Chapter)
