Chapter 65 Possession?

"Me? Possessed?!" Luo Feng stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

Babata became excited and repeatedly asked, "Jiang Chen, are you really willing to give up the chance to possess someone's body to Luo Feng?"

"Luo Feng excels in metal-related attributes, so the Golden Horned Beast is more suitable for him." Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.

Jiang Chen wasn't uninterested in the Golden Horned Beast, but firstly, he lacked a suitable secret technique and secondly, he didn't have the 'soul imprint' left by Hu Yanbo to assist him. The process of possessing the Golden Horned Beast was very risky.

On the other hand, Jiang Chen was also worried about what would happen if the system didn't follow his soul after he possessed the body.

The system is Jiang Chen's source of confidence.

Compared to this, the advantages that the Golden Horned Beast could bring were not so important to Jiang Chen.

Moreover, in the original story, Luo Feng had countless opportunities throughout his life, but most of them were just icing on the cake, and it didn't matter if he didn't get them. The truly important opportunities were only a handful.

Among them, possessing the Golden Horned Beast was one of Luo Feng's most crucial opportunities. If he had lost this opportunity, Luo Feng would most likely not have reached the level he was at in the original story.

Jiang Chen wasn't sure how far the system's help would take him.

If he doesn't reach a high enough level, the task of resolving the World Beast crisis and leading the human race to grow stronger will still fall on Luo Feng's shoulders, which can be considered a kind of "guarantee".

"Why would I give up being a normal human to possess a monster!" Luo Feng said reluctantly, showing no intention of possessing the Golden Horned Beast.

That's normal. In the original story, Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast because he was forced into a corner and couldn't survive without it.

But now that the crisis of the Golden Horned Beast has been easily resolved and there is no longer any risk of death, Luo Feng naturally has no desire to change to a different 'race'.

Upon hearing Luo Feng's reluctance, Babata immediately became anxious: "Luo Feng, do you know how great an opportunity it is to possess the Golden Horned Beast?! This is a star-sky behemoth that, if it grows naturally to adulthood, can reach the level of a World Lord! The numerous resources and secret techniques left to you by your teacher, plus your own hard work in cultivation, spending hundreds of thousands of years, only give you a 'chance' to reach the level of a World Lord; you may not actually succeed!"

"Then I am not willing to lose my human identity." Luo Feng's mind was firm, and he was not swayed by Babata's words in the slightest.

Jiang Chen suddenly interjected, "Luo Feng, the Golden Horned Beast has the ability to create clones of other races. Why don't you possess the Golden Horned Beast, and then use your own genes to create a clone of an Earthling? That way, you won't lose your human identity, and you can also enjoy the Golden Horned Beast's powerful talents."

"A clone?!" Babata and Luo Feng both exclaimed in surprise.

What surprised Luo Feng was that he could have "it all".

Babata was surprised because it knew just how incredible the ability to create clones was in the universe.

It can be said that as long as one has the ability to create clones, one's ability to survive will increase several levels, and the probability of reaching the peak will greatly increase.

It's important to know that many exceptionally talented individuals die during their formative years, never realizing their full potential.

With clones, one can freely venture into various places without worrying about perishing, and fully unleash one's potential.

However, Babata was also puzzled. Even it didn't know that the Golden Horned Beast had the talent of "cloning". How did Jiang Chen know?

Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't explain this to Babata, but only advised Luo Feng to complete the possession of the Golden Horned Beast as soon as possible.

The Golden Horned Beast is currently at its weakest, making it the most likely to succeed in possessing another's body.

If this continues, even if Luo Feng has a 'soul imprint', there's no guarantee that there won't be any problems.

Having learned of the Golden Horned Beast's talent for creating clones, and with the persuasion of Babata and Jiang Chen, Luo Feng finally couldn't resist and agreed to possess the Golden Horned Beast.

This made Jiang Chen feel a little relieved.

With the Golden Horned Beast's clone, Luo Feng will have little obstacle in reaching the level of a Universe Master or even a True God.

After becoming a disciple of the Mountain-Sitting Guest and receiving the core inheritance of the God King of Jin within the Jin World, he embarked on the path of "Divine Power Flow," and the hope of resolving the World Beast crisis was realized.

Even if the system isn't powerful enough and fails to function at a certain stage, causing Jiang Chen's strength to stagnate, Jiang Chen doesn't need to worry about a 'world-ending' crisis appearing one day and taking him away in one fell swoop.

Inside the Meteorite Star, deep underground in Fog Island, Australia.

After some time, Luo Feng finally succeeded in possessing the Golden Horned Beast. The whole process was smooth and uneventful.

Severely injured and extremely weak, the Golden Horned Beast's soul even withered. Coupled with the effect of the 'Soul Imprint,' the Golden Horned Beast was almost completely powerless to resist, and Luo Feng easily destroyed its soul and replaced it.

"I'm not used to this body at all," Luo Feng transmitted a thought.

"No rush. The Golden Horned Beast has many unique characteristics; you'll get used to it gradually. Once you're fully familiar with it, you can create an avatar and return to the human world," Jiang Chen reminded him. "This process may take several years. I'll take care of your family, so don't worry. If you miss home, you can send an email to contact them, but don't reveal that you've possessed the Golden Horned Beast."

Luo Feng knew that his situation was not suitable for others to know, so he immediately said, "Achen, I'm entrusting my family to your care."

"Well, I'm going back to base now. This battle has given me a lot of inspiration. There's still a lot of room for improvement in 'Goliath'. I need to go back and study it."

Jiang Chen greeted Luo Feng, then asked Babata, "Babata, when will the spaceship be repaired? It'll take Luo Feng a long time to develop his clone. Could you take me for a spin around the universe first?"

The spaceship Jiang Chen was referring to was not one of the "outdated" transport ships manufactured at his base, but rather the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship from Ruins No. 12.

"It'll be soon, in about ten more days. Hmm... Luo Feng will indeed have to wait a long time. He's safe on the Meteorite Starship, so I can take you for a spin in space first. I'll contact you then." Babata agreed readily, a stark contrast to his usual stingy behavior towards Jiang Chen.

Because of Jiang Chen's "generous" act of giving the Golden Horned Beast to Luo Feng, Babata developed a deep liking for Jiang Chen and regarded him as "one of their own".

"Okay, then I'll be going."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and left the Meteorite Starship, returning to his base.

There's no need to rush the research on the Golden Horned Beast. We can ask Luo Feng for some gene samples after he has fully adapted to the Golden Horned Beast's body.

However, the improvement plan for the 'Goliath Giant' made Jiang Chen feel 'eager' to complete it as soon as possible.
