A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Cheng decided to meet with the top officials of the Celestial Empire, so he said, "Then let's meet them."

"Brother Cheng, I'll call them right now," Lin Chen said, taking out his communicator.

The Heavenly Dynasty Sect Master and the elders were filled with curiosity upon hearing that Luo Cheng was willing to meet.

Previously, Lin Chen had already demonstrated the abilities of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator: her flight speed was ten times faster than the fastest spacecraft on Earth; even more astonishing was her teleportation technique—the Information Analysis Department had just set up a location point at the lunar base when she appeared there in less than a second.

That wasn't all. Lin Chen casually tossed an energy ball into the desert, its power comparable to a 100,000-ton bomb. When he returned to the conference room, he casually remarked, "This is just a basic attack, its power is average," leaving everyone speechless for a long time.

She added, "If we go all out, we could destroy a satellite like the moon."

After demonstrating her abilities as a cultivator, Lin Chen gained the right to speak on equal terms. In the ensuing conversation, she said, "In the original realm, the original owner was the one who could truly be in charge."

Upon hearing the words "original owner," the sect leader and elders were filled with curiosity. The sect leader asked, "Compared to you, who is stronger?"

Lin Chen had never seen Luo Cheng fight at full strength, but he had heard about his battle exploits. He said truthfully, "If Brother Cheng were to make a move, he could easily destroy a star."

These words shocked everyone present. Lin Chen, recalling the colossal power Luo Cheng had previously displayed, added, "Besides his formidable strength, the original owner also possessed the power of creation."

The following afternoon, the sect leader and elders gathered in the conference room, awaiting Luo Cheng's arrival. Luo Cheng used teleportation to bring Lin Chen to the conference room—he was dressed casually, with a short buzz cut, looking like a sunny young man from Earth, making it hard to associate him with the world lord who "could blow up the planet."

"Everyone, I am the Lord of the Original Realm," Luo Cheng said bluntly.

With curiosity in everyone's eyes, Luo Cheng simply said, "I know you want to see my abilities and also want to see what the Origin Realm looks like. How about this, I'll take you to see it."

Luo Cheng waved his hand, using the power of the original realm to teleport more than a dozen big shots to Tianyuan Star—the earliest planet he had ever modified.

The powerful figures were shocked by the change in their surroundings, but being men of unwavering resolve, they quickly regained their composure. The sect leader cupped his hands and said, "Original owner, I've heard you possess the power of creation. Could you demonstrate it?"

"What do you want me to create?"

"Mountain!"

Luo Cheng raised his hand and a two-thousand-meter-high mountain suddenly rose up in front of him. He no longer asked any questions, but casually used his supernatural powers: flowers and grass sprouted from the soil, trees grew, birds and beasts ran, insects crawled... all living things were born before everyone's eyes.

At that moment, they truly understood the meaning of "God".

"Initially, I will select a planet in the original realm specifically for immigrants to live on," Luo Cheng said. "To ensure everyone's comfort, we can modify it according to your requirements."

"Thank you, original owner!"

"If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask, and I will answer them one by one."

The sect leader was the first to ask: "The most crucial question is, after immigrating, can we return to Earth?"

"Lin Chen should have already informed you, but you're not satisfied with that answer, are you?" Luo Cheng said.

"That's right." Luo Cheng had previously said that a teleportation array would be set up between the two realms, but only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above could use it.

"The teleportation array is a type of hyperspace teleportation, which is extremely fast. Users must have a strong physique to support it, otherwise they will perish during the teleportation," Luo Cheng explained.

Another elder asked, "May I ask the original owner, is it possible for everyone to cultivate immortality?"

"Theoretically yes, but in practice it depends on talent and resources."

"Ms. Lin Chen said that Earth is no longer suitable for cultivating immortality. Is the Primordial Realm suitable?"

"As you can see with your own eyes, this planet is rich in spiritual energy and abundant in spiritual minerals, which is sufficient to support cultivators' practice. It is naturally suitable."

"With the original owner's abilities, could he have transformed Earth into a planet suitable for cultivation?"

"Okay." Luo Cheng nodded, then changed the subject, "But I don't want to do that."

A hint of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes. They were unwilling to leave Blue Star for two reasons: firstly, they were old and did not want to leave their homeland; secondly, they held power on Blue Star and might lose their status in the Original Realm.

"Original owner, can we still cultivate immortality?"

Luo Cheng saw through their thoughts and said, "I will give you some pills to improve your physique. As for how far you can cultivate, that depends on your own fate."

"Thank you, original owner!"

The group asked for more details, which Luo Cheng answered one by one. Finally, he said, "Alright, let's talk about these issues first. You can discuss the immigration matter yourselves."

The big shots understood: to freely travel between the two worlds, one must cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, which meant that after immigrating, one would have to live in the original world for a long time.

After several discussions, they decided to give the choice to the people—to let individuals decide whether to immigrate.

Overnight, information about the Primordial Realm and cultivation swept across the internet:

"Really? There's actually a cultivation world?"

"It was posted by the official account, so it must be real!"

"I'm going to the Primordial Realm to cultivate immortality!"

"Brother, didn't you see? They won't be back until they reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"Reaching the Nascent Soul stage is easy! It's a piece of cake!"

"It will take hundreds of years to reach the Nascent Soul stage. By the time I return, Earth will probably have entered the interstellar age."

"What will happen to my parents, wife, and children if I go to the Original Realm?"

"Let's go together!"

"I'm not going. Who knows what that place is like?"

"That's cultivation of immortality! I absolutely have to go!"

The internet was immediately divided into two factions: one wanted to go to the original world to cultivate immortality, and the other wanted to stay on Earth and live a peaceful life.

The down-on-his-luck young man had also seen the news. His name was Liu Hong, and he was a food delivery driver who had worked hard to support his girlfriend through her postgraduate studies. However, his girlfriend said that they were no longer in the same social class and broke up with him. Heartbroken, he was thinking of changing his way of life. Holding the cultivation manual given to him by Luo Cheng, he murmured, "Cultivation is real."

However, when he tried to cultivate according to the techniques on Earth, he couldn't even sense the Qi—Earth's spiritual energy was depleted, and coupled with his mediocre talent, it was almost impossible for him to even begin. After seeing the information about the Primordial Realm, he immediately registered online: "I must go to the Primordial Realm to cultivate immortality!"

He had no more ties to Earth and was all alone, so he decided to venture into the Primordial Realm and perhaps even become an immortal.

The sect leader and elders closely monitored the registration situation, never expecting that the number of applicants would account for half of the total population. They calculated: if these half of the people went to the Original Realm and could cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, they could return to Blue Star, bringing back resources, and also explore other life-bearing planets in the Original Realm, expanding the territory of the Celestial Empire. At that time, the Celestial Empire would be a multi-planetary superpower, a sure-fire profit.

No one can say for sure how long it will take to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Lin Chen only said that geniuses or those with the aid of elixirs can reach the Nascent Soul stage in a year; those with poor aptitude may not be able to succeed even after hundreds of years of cultivation.

According to Luo Cheng, mortals in the Original Realm need to govern themselves, while the life-bearing planets occupied by the Celestial Dynasty are under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Dynasty. It is precisely for this reason that the higher-ups dare to disclose information about the Original Realm.

They believed that the more people who went, the better, because as long as someone cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, they could return to Earth and give back to it.

Furthermore, the Celestial Empire decided to select a group of outstanding military personnel for immigration, ordering them to return to Earth after achieving Nascent Soul cultivation and bring back resources. It must be said that these leaders possessed truly unique strategic vision.

Luo Cheng didn't care about this. The Primordial Realm was vast and boundless, much like another Immortal Realm, with countless life-bearing planets. It would take a long time to turn all the planets into cultivation planets. Right now, what they lacked most was people, so more immigrants would actually be a good thing.

Moreover, his final arrangement was to establish a Heavenly Court in the Original Realm, with the Heavenly Court managing the entire Original Realm.

At that time, the administrators of Heaven will need to be selected from the immigrants of Earth.

In just a few days, the Origin Realm and immigration became the hottest topics on Blue Star, and the debate over whether or not to cultivate immortality intensified, even alarming Li Qiang, who was searching for a successor on Blue Star.

He found Luo Cheng and exclaimed joyfully, "Senior Brother, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"

"Yes," Luo Cheng asked with a smile, "Have you found a successor?"

"We have a few options, and we're still observing them," Li Qiang said.

Luo Cheng remembered that in the original story, Li Qiang's final choice of successor was a rich second-generation named Ji Wuyai, so he didn't ask any further questions and instead said, "I'll take you to see the Origin Realm."

"good!"
