Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

“Earth must have been transformed by some powerful being!” Wu Hao had already prepared his explanation, and now he began to explain in detail, “Back then, I discovered that after we humans entered interstellar space, children born on other planets were much less talented than children born on Earth.”

"This talent is not about bloodline, but rather the tenacity of one's character and comprehension. The higher the level of life, the more obvious this talent becomes. When Luo Feng and I were apprentices, we cultivated faster than all other humans. Then, as soon as we entered the universe, we quickly rose to prominence within it."

"I don't have much to say. My cultivation speed has never slowed down. The one who has really changed a lot is my fellow clansman Luo Feng. Luo Feng's cultivation speed is getting faster and faster. When he was at the planetary level, his talent was only average. When he was at the stellar level, his talent was somewhat outstanding. When he was at the cosmic level, he had already gradually surpassed that Bolan. After entering the domain lord level, I could feel it even more clearly. He has left Bolan far behind."

"What!" Upon hearing Luo Feng's description, Dark Star Venerable's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief.

If it weren't for the intervention of those Venerables from the Giant Axe Arena, he would never have believed Wu Hao's explanation.

But the facts are there, and he has no choice but to take them seriously!

"Wu Hao, you and I will immediately teleport to Earth to check the situation. If what you say is true, I will immediately report to Master and help you protect your ownership of Earth."

"Great!" Wu Hao's face instantly lit up with a smile. He had put in so much effort to perform differently from the original character, hoping to have a powerful backer who could protect Earth.

Although he didn't initially join the lineage of the Chaos City Lord, the Dark Lord, being a fifth-tier peak-level universe lord, was still able to protect ownership of Earth.

In the original story, when Luo Feng lost ownership of Earth, he didn't have the help of the Chaos City Lord. Now that he is studying for the Dark City Lord's lineage, he can definitely hold onto ownership of Earth firmly.

As for the covetousness of other races in the universe, it's simple: Wu Hao can just rent out Earth's sea areas.

If the leased entity is a virtual universe company, Wu Hao can naturally leverage his status as a disciple of the Dark Lord to raise the lease of Earth to a more favorable condition for him.

"Without further ado, Luo Feng, where are you now? Do you have the coordinates of the divine kingdom on Earth?" Dark Star Venerable asked.

“King Longyu has the coordinates of Earth. If we let her get involved, more people will be involved in the secrets of Earth!” Wu Hao shook his head and said, “We need to let my senior brother’s disciple, King Mo An, step forward. He has the coordinates of Earth and the Golden Sword Universe Kingdom. We can have him teleport to the Golden Sword Universe Kingdom to pick me up first, and then teleport me to Earth.”

"Hahahaha!" Venerable Dark Star laughed loudly, "That brat Demon Dark is recuperating in Chaos City, which happens to be near my residence. You stay where you are and don't move. We'll set off immediately."

"Okay!" Wu Hao immediately exited the virtual universe network and closed all contact methods to avoid being disturbed by any more Venerables.

He left the training room and quickly flew out of Xinxiang Star.

Soon, the Dark King, accompanied by the Dark Star Venerable, appeared in the outer space of Xinxiang Star, where they discovered Wu Hao and Longyu King, who had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing the arrival of Venerable Dark Star, Long Yu immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Venerable Dark Star!"

She was unaware of the tremors currently affecting the Earth, and therefore held the arriving Dark Star Venerable in exceptional respect.

Dark Star Venerable nodded and said, "Longyu, you stay here. I have some business with Wu Hao. I'll bring him back soon!"

Long Yu frowned instantly. Protecting Wu Hao was her mission, and she would be punished if she failed. How could she let Dark Star Venerable take her away?

Seeing Longyu King frown, Wu Hao quickly explained, "Longyu King, Dark Star Venerable is my senior brother. With him by my side, my safety is absolutely guaranteed. Please rest assured, we'll go out together, and it won't even take a day!"

Longyu King frowned, wanting to say something more, but Dark Star Venerable grabbed Wu Hao and made Demon Dark King activate the Divine Kingdom Teleportation, leaving the star field of Xinxiang Star.

In the blink of an eye, the divine kingdom's long-distance teleportation had reached Earth, and Dark Star Venerable instantly covered Earth with endless laws of light.

All kinds of light from the sun and the universe instantly disappeared from the eyes of Earthlings, and the light reflected by the Earth also disappeared into the universe.

If we don't get close enough to touch it, the space in which Earth is located will definitely be mistaken for a newly formed black hole.

Humanity on Earth was instantly shocked by this unprecedented darkness. Countless people screamed wildly, and even pregnant women were gripped by inexplicable terror.

Fortunately, the average person on Earth is a martial artist, so they won't be frightened or attacked by this.

Countless powerful individuals even flew out of Earth to investigate what had happened.

After observing for a while, Venerable Dark Star immediately withdrew the law covering him, and returned the light in the universe to the people of Earth.

“Wu Hao, you’re right. Earth does indeed have anomalies, just as you said, it has been modified by some unknown powerful being!” Dark Star Venerable’s expression was solemn. “I even used a mental illusion to attack hundreds of thousands of Earthlings just now, but they all easily broke free from the illusion!”

The Dark King's eyes widened in disbelief, as he looked at the ordinary Earth and realized that such an opportunity had come to him.

"I will immediately report to my teacher and have him inform the entire Virtual Universe Company's top management!" Dark Star Venerable said, diverting a sliver of his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and then contacting the Lord of Darkness.

He received a letter from the Lord of Darkness not long after. The Dark Star Venerable looked at the reply with a solemn expression, and then his face lit up with a smile.

"Wu Hao, Master has already assigned me to handle this matter. The universe country where Earth is located is the Qianwu Universe Country, which is the territory of my Virtual Universe Company. Moreover, the ownership of Earth is yours, and no one can take it away!" He patted Wu Hao on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I've guaranteed the ownership of Earth for you. No one can take it away!"

“No, senior brother!” Wu Hao shook his head and said, “I definitely can’t hold onto the ownership of Earth at this stage. What we should do next is not to hold onto the ownership of Earth, but to sell Earth to Virtual Universe Company at a reasonable price and let Virtual Universe Company help me fend off the covetousness of those Venerables.”

Dark Star paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right to think that way. The company's higher-ups haven't really taken Earth's value seriously yet. Selling it now will definitely get you a good price!"

Wu Hao quickly shook his head and said, "I won't sell Earth, but I can divide it up and lease out the airspace above the sea. The rent is 1000 million Hunyuan when I'm a Domain Lord, 1 million Hunyuan when I'm a World Lord, and 1000 billion Hunyuan when I'm an Immortal!"

“This price!” Dark Star frowned slightly. “If Earth’s efficacy is truly so great that even Venerables are vying for it, then it is indeed worth this price. However, the company is unlikely to accept it!” Wu Hao knew he had to explain why Earth was being fought over, so he quickly said, “My kinsman Hong is only at the Domain Lord level, but yesterday in the Illusionary Sea, he broke through to the 20th level in one go. Thor broke through to the 17th level, and I am confident that I can also break through to the 20th level. Luo Feng can even break through to the 13th level or higher!”

"What!" Dark Star Venerable was instantly shocked. He knew that even some peak King-level experts might not be able to pass through the 20th level of the Illusionary Sea. How could Hong, a Universe-level expert, possibly reach the 20th level?

"Not only that, but the best among my clansmen will also perform well in the Illusionary Sea. This is all due to being born on Earth. At the same time, the reason why the Giant Axe Arena is so excited is because the founder of the Giant Axe himself came to investigate and even wanted to take one of my clansmen as a disciple!"

As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, Venerable Dark Star immediately began to draft the contract in his hand without hesitation.

Wu Hao had already described the value of Earth to him. It would be foolish not to seize this opportunity. In the future, Earth might truly become incredibly valuable, and being born on Earth would become a standard privilege for the children of all powerful humans.

A contract was quickly drafted, and everything was just as Wu Hao had said. Two-thirds of Earth had been leased to the Virtual Universe Company. Dark Star even deliberately set a timeframe for the lease, which was for fifty epochs.

Fifty epochs later, regardless of Wu Hao's strength, he will be able to independently renegotiate the contract with the Virtual Universe Company.

Looking at the contract, Wu Hao realized that its terms were far better than the one Luo Feng had signed, making it the best contract he could secure.

"Thank you very much, senior brother. Let's go to Earth and take a look. I'll personally give you an island!" Wu Hao wasn't one to be ungrateful, so he immediately gave him a small island in the Pacific Ocean.

After receiving the island, Venerable Dark Star smiled, but he had no idea what Wu Hao had given him.

Soon after the transaction on Earth was completed, Wu Hao immediately had the Dark King send him back to the Golden Sword Universe Kingdom for seclusion, leaving the Dark Star Venerable to handle the related matters on Earth himself.

Perhaps the Giant Axe Arena realized that the value of Earth could no longer be concealed, so not many Venerables came to harass them.

Soon the news of Earth reached the lords of the various universes, and several lords of the original universe personally descended upon Earth.

Like the creators of the giant axe, they also failed to discover any information about the main god, just as Wu Hao, Luo Feng, and the other reincarnators had never mentioned the main god on Earth.

After returning to the Golden Sword Universe Kingdom, Wu Hao personally arranged a meeting with Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen to recount his experience of leaving without saying goodbye.

"Third brother, this is all my and Thor's fault!" Hong explained. "If Thor and I hadn't acted on a whim, we wouldn't have caused such a disaster for the people of Earth!"

"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing in disguise. This matter is nothing to us, but we really have to share Earth with all of humanity in the universe!" Wu Hao shook his head and said, "We've all studied history and know what happens when concessions are established. So let's strive! This isn't just my business; it's the business of all human civilization on Earth. It's not just about the four of us; all of humanity needs to work hard to cultivate and fight to reclaim sovereignty over Earth!"

"Okay!" "Yes!" "Okay!"

The three agreed in unison, their gazes then hardening with even greater resolve: "For humanity!"

"For humanity!"

Wu Hao replied in the same way, saying that Earth is his home in this life. Having lived two lives, he has spent more time in this universe and has long since developed a sense of belonging to it. Moreover, this Earth is where he has the final say.

The four of them separated again to cultivate. Finally, five years passed, and a voice suddenly rang out in an underground base on Xinxiang Star.

"I did it! I did it! Gundam bloodline modification and synesthetic fusion can now be mass-produced!"

Not long after his success, Wu Hao received the news and rushed over.

After leasing Earth's sea area to the Virtual Universe Company, Wu Hao had already achieved financial freedom. 1000 million Hunyuan was enough for him to buy a Golden Horned Beast that could be upgraded to the level of a Realm Lord or even higher.

The reason I haven't broken through yet is because breaking through to the Realm Lord level requires going to the outer battlefield.

Wu Hao quickly took off and arrived at the secret experimental base. Looking at the Gundam that was standing up, Wu Hao's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Is this the Gundam you built? How different is it from yours?"

"The difference?" Rick scoffed. "The difference is huge. His strength is only one-tenth of mine, and the machines he fused with are much weaker than mine. I could take on a hundred of them!"

"100?" Wu Hao looked at Rick. After the parts were upgraded, his current strength was about the eighth or ninth level of the cosmic level. If he could fight a hundred of them, it would mean that this new Gundam also had the strength of the cosmic level.

"Can you modify a soul at the realm lord level?" Wu Hao asked him.

"A Realm Lord?" Rick was instantly startled. That was a Realm Lord! Even the strongest human being was only at the Domain Lord level.

"Just answer me, yes or no. You need to know that our future clients will basically all be world lord level powerhouses!" Wu Hao's vision is much longer-term; he doesn't even look at those low-level nobodys.

Unless the Gundam lineage can be mass-produced to a certain extent in the future, he will not touch the low-end market.

“Yes!” Rick gritted his teeth and said, “Once you master one method, you master all methods. A realm lord is just someone with greater physical and spiritual strength. As long as the tools and mechanical parts are suitable, I can modify a realm lord.”

"But to complete the modification, I must upgrade my components, at the very least to the point where my machine can cut through the body of a World Lord!"

Wu Hao immediately nodded and said, "I have fulfilled your request. In the coming days, I will send you a World Lord for modification as soon as possible. If you succeed, the Gundam modification will likely create a new major power within the human race!" (End of this chapter)
