Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

"Shh!"

An invisible hand reached out to grasp the void. Countless powerful figures from the Immortal Temple looked up at the sky and saw a warship fleeing frantically.

"How dare you!" A king who was skilled in spatial laws shouted angrily and instantly teleported to the front of the spaceship.

The enormous hand and the king's attack struck simultaneously, instantly shattering the external shield of the G4-class spaceship, and the remaining force slammed into the spaceship's metal hull.

With a deafening roar, the spaceship's outer shell barely managed to defend against the King's attack, but it was powerless against the Venerable One's massive hand. Countless cracks instantly appeared on the metal of the spaceship's outer shell.

However, even though the spaceship's outer shell suffered horrific damage, its propulsion system remained intact, and it rapidly departed from the Blood Continent.

"Full speed away! Full speed away!" Wu Hao's voice was extremely frantic as he roared at the spaceship's artificial intelligence.

The artificial intelligence immediately went berserk. The owner of this spaceship was once a high-ranking king, who had installed powerful counterattack weapons on the spaceship.

However, due to the price reduction of the spaceship, most of the original external defensive weapons were removed, leaving only two side defensive cannons.

In order to escape safely, he frantically opened the two remaining side cannons.

Wu Hao knew he had a chance to escape. The spaceship Xiao bought was called Xunsuo, and its biggest feature was its rapid acceleration.

The Swift can accelerate from zero to the speed of light in just four seconds.

Once accelerated to the speed of light, it will enter the dark universe. Given the spatial distance of the dark universe, it could probably leave the Blood Luo Continent in an instant.

The natives of the Blood Luo Continent, whether they sneak into the Dark Universe or remain in the Original Universe, cannot leave the Blood Luo Continent.

Therefore, if Wu Hao wanted to escape, he only needed to stall for four seconds and wait for the spaceship to accelerate into the dark universe.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Several more Kings who were skilled in spatial laws teleported over and launched their attacks on the Swift Shuttle as well.

The attack landed directly on the spaceship's metal hull, instantly severely damaging the entire vessel.

However, this was not the end. A mental attack from a King-level expert skilled in soul enslavement immediately pierced through space and struck the people on the spaceship.

"Ah!" A violent soul impact instantly attacked him, its terrifying soul strength almost crushing him.

"I can't wait any longer!" Wu Hao's Golden Horned Beast clone instantly threw the Beast God Statue to the Zerg Queen clone. Immediately, hundreds of World Lord-level Golden Horned Alien Queens and Golden Horned Beast clones rushed out of the spaceship.

Instantly, countless realm lords filled the entire sky, with the leader being a massive 200-kilometer-tall figure that covered the entire sky and shielded the spaceship behind him.

"Roar~!" Wu Hao opened his mouth wide and roared like thunder.

However, several kings who saw Wu Hao's figure were stunned on the spot. They were all survivors of that great battle, and many of them had witnessed the scene of the innate beast god of the Blood Luo Continent being killed by the visitors from outside the realm.

Although Wu Hao's current body is far from that of a natural beast god, and his strength is also worlds apart, the divine aura he exudes cannot lie, causing them all to make unfounded associations.

"Kill him!" The last remaining Universe Venerable of the Blood Luo Continent appeared instantly, telling everyone in an unquestionable voice that he demanded they kill this figure who resembled the Beast God. "This is a celestial behemoth from beyond the heavens and has nothing to do with the Beast God. Don't be fooled by appearances!"

However, just as everyone was talking, hundreds of world lord-level golden-horned alien queens had already charged in front of them.

Although these golden-horned alien queens posed no threat to them, their self-disclosure inevitably attracted the attention of many immortals, who had never seen such a creature before.

Wu Hao also roared angrily, then gathered all the energy in his body into one place and self-destructed into the crowd.

With his enormous body, even if he posed no threat to the King-level Immortals, the Immortal Temple below could not withstand Wu Hao's self-destruction.

"Die!" The Venerable of the Blood Luo Continent made a move instantly, crushing Wu Hao's golden-horned beast clone to death in the blink of an eye. The clone's self-destruction naturally ended with his death.

However, the shock that Wu Hao's golden-horned beast clone brought to everyone had already allowed the Swift Shuttle to enter the dark universe dimension.

Upon seeing this, all the kings turned to look at the only venerable one.

The Venerable One was also looking up at the sky, his heart filled with humiliation.

In the past, on the Blood Continent, there was a Beast God, a dozen Universe Venerables, and an extraterrestrial visitor who fought a war.

The result was that the Beast God died, more than a dozen Universe Venerables perished, the Kings were almost completely wiped out, and the Marquis level was also wiped out.

The few remaining King-level experts, upon breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm, all attempted to escape the Blood Luo Continent, only to be killed one by one by the extraterrestrial beings.

This Blood Continent is their homeland, but it is also their prison; those from outside the realm are not allowed to leave.

"Go back, all of you go back!" The Cosmic Venerable did not reveal that the dead star beast was merely an avatar. He looked at everyone and said, "Remember, all of you remember, the extraterrestrials have added another blood debt to the Blood Luo people's ledger. You must not forget it!"

"Yes!"

Wu Hao had already escaped the Blood Luo Continent with Xiao. His priority now was to figure out how to keep it a secret from the Virtual Universe Company.

Wu Hao didn't believe that the commotion inside the Immortal Temple hadn't alerted the Virtual Universe Company. Now it all depended on whether the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was willing to investigate.

Of course, he still had to put on a show, hiding himself so that no one could find out.

Wu Hao quickly entered one of the worlds, and then hid inside the body of the last remaining world-lord level alien queen, waiting for Xiao to submit the mission materials.

"Xiao, the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace summons you!" Xiao's expression changed slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and entered the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

Wu Hao, on the other hand, stayed on the outer harbor, quietly awaiting his fate.

If Xiao is punished, he will immediately arrange for the Zerg Queen's clone to commit suicide, thus concealing the fact that he was here.

Less than half an hour later, Xiao returned from the Eclipse Palace and went back to the Swift Shuttle.

Wu Hao didn't ask what had happened. The two of them boarded the spaceship and left the universe where the Blood Luo Continent was located.

After flying halfway across the universe, Wu Hao asked Xiao, "Has the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master asked us anything?"

"No!" Xiao shook his head and said, "The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace recruited me, saying he thinks highly of me. He said he had witnessed Luo Feng's prowess and arranged for his descendants to give birth on Earth, hoping that I could one day rival Luo Feng." "Hmm!" Wu Hao nodded as well. He was a disciple of the Lord of Darkness, so even if he violated some minor rules, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace would probably make an exception for the sake of the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Youhou.

"Let's go. Next, we'll return to the Primal Secret Realm. As for the rest of the cosmic-level cultivation missions, you can go on your own. Once we reach the Primal Secret Realm, I'll arrange for someone to pick up my clone!"

"Alright!" Xiao nodded immediately, and then the two of them began their cultivation separately.

Wu Hao intends to use his Zerg Queen clone to re-spawn the Golden Horned Beast clone.

However, his Golden Horned Beast clone is currently the largest of the three clones and requires the most resources.

It would take at least twenty years to restore it.

However, compared to gaining the Beast God Statue, this loss is nothing.

Wu Hao immediately spent his points to purchase the first three levels of Hirodo's "Seven Kills of the Beast God".

Once the Golden Horned Beast's clone is reborn, cultivation can officially begin.

Meanwhile, in Chaos City, Wu Hao once again finished his cultivation of "Ming Kong Mie". His comprehension of the third level was still a long way off, but he needed to arrange for someone to go and bring back his identity.

Only in Chaos City can his clone obtain enough resources for cultivation, and what he needs to solve now is how to reach the combat power of a King-level cultivator from the Realm Lord level.

In the original story, Luo Feng was able to do this because he had soldier armor and general armor. These two items, combined with the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, could amplify his basic strength.

Currently, his basic power as Ultraman is only about ninety times that of a normal World Lord, and more than ten times that of an ordinary Marquis.

Although his understanding of the laws at the King level made up for the gap in basic power, he was still completely outmatched by a true Marquis.

To kill Feng Hou, Wu Hao can only use the Bright Sky Sword given to him by the Lord of Darkness.

"To obtain King-level combat power before heading to the extraterrestrial battlefield, I either need a more powerful treasure or I need to enhance my basic strength! It's impossible for me to obtain a treasure within the human realm, so the only option is to amplify my Ultraman's basic strength!"

Wu Hao focused his attention on the distant Milky Way galaxy, wanting to amplify Ultraman's basic power, or to collect the faith in everyone's hearts, so that his name could be sung by more people.

Earth, Earth, Earth!
Wu Hao has been in Chaos City for over a hundred years. Based on Earth's reproductive capacity, there should be more than a dozen generations of young people born by now.

Upon logging into the virtual universe company, Wu Hao immediately convened a high-level meeting of all humanity, using his authority as a member of the Earth Planetary Council.

He has not chaired a high-level meeting of all humankind for hundreds of years.

At this moment, he had clearly divided the human race into two groups. The one on the left was a branch from the Golden Sword Empire, led by Zhuge Wu, and almost 80% of its people were descendants of the bloodline of the Main God Space.

On the right are officials of the human united government, high-ranking officials selected through a hierarchical process based on their administrative abilities.

But there is another branch, sitting opposite Wu Hao at the head of the table.

That branch belongs to the Gundam Fusion Bloodline, with Yao Rao at the head and Rick as the next.

"It's been so many years since we've all gathered together. It's also been a long time since the three major branches of humanity held a meeting!"

Wu Hao sighed, then looked around at everyone and said, "There are too many powerful enemies in the universe. Even within our human race, we are not a monolithic entity. There are still some people with ulterior motives who will take risks to target our Earthling lineage. That's why I dispersed humanity into multiple universe kingdoms, so that the human race can continue uninterrupted!"

Everyone listened attentively and nodded. Many members of the Golden Sword Empire lineage grew up in the Golden Sword Empire and the Golden Mist Universe Kingdom, and had little sense of belonging to Earth.

However, the humans in the Golden Sword Universe Kingdom do not have a democratically elected government, but rather a lifelong government. Wu Hao is the top leader, and Zhuge Wu is the second-in-command.

With them as a source of reassurance, humanity on Earth has no need to worry about division, after all, this is a world where individual strength reigns supreme.

"Alright, let's begin the formal meeting. On Earth, let's first report on the achievements of our development over the past few hundred years!"

"Good!" The United Human Government already had the statistics, and the census, which was conducted every ten years, was completed just three years ago.

"The human branch of the Qianwu Empire currently has a total population of 969086698535, directly manages 15890 planets, and has 2169 immigrant planets."

It possesses 469 cosmic-level individuals, 9156995 stellar-level individuals, and 867889561 cosmic citizens. The total economic output of the Ganwu Branch Human United Government is 6756 million cosmic coins.

Wu Hao nodded after hearing about Earth's total economic output. After hundreds of years of development, humanity was doing quite well.

Despite the small number of planets directly controlled, its economic scale has reached the wealth of more than ten domain lord-level powerhouses.

It's important to understand that these are only the assets of the Human Alliance government; the private property of those cosmic-level powerhouses is not included in the government's assets at all.

The true assets of the human branch of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom should be between one and two Hunyuan.

Next up was the report from the Jinlan Universe Kingdom branch. The Jinlan Universe Kingdom branch had just reached a population of 1863 million, but it already had four domain lords and many more universe-level powerhouses.

With Wu Hao's investment, the total economic output here is five Hunyuan units, making it far wealthier than the humans of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

This was the first time the human leadership had held such a meeting. When the Qianwu human faction heard that the Jinlan human faction was so wealthy, their jaws nearly dropped.

Only after the two sides checked their accounts did they realize how well the other was doing. Originally, the humans of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom looked down on these outsiders, but after this meeting, it is estimated that the situation will be reversed.

"Silence!" Wu Hao interrupted the shocked crowd instantly, and then slowly said, "The essence of the meeting I convened this time is still to ask your two governments to vigorously develop the population."

Wu Hao looked up at everyone and said, "A sufficient population is the cornerstone of civilization. I hereby announce that I will inject 100 Hunyuan into the human united government of the Qianwu branch to develop the economy. At the same time, I will allocate another 100 Hunyuan to establish a human reproduction plan subsidy. Every family that has a child will receive a subsidy of 500 Qianwu coins, with no upper limit!"

"At the same time, the humans of the Jinlan Universe Kingdom will continue to enjoy the same treatment. I will also invest 100 Hunyuan to develop the economy and 100 Hunyuan to develop the population!"

"Wow!" Although everyone had anticipated the purpose of Wu Hao's meeting, his words still shocked them all.

But Wu Hao didn't care at all. Humanity was the foundation of his existence and the basis for his future ability to transcend the universe. No matter how much effort he put in, it was all worthwhile.

Moreover, it's not that he doesn't have the money. Excessive material indulgence will breed too many parasites, which is actually detrimental to the development of civilization.
