Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 82 I'm Here, Golden Horned Beast

Milky Way.

Earth.

December 2058, 12.

The Huangpu River, the headquarters building of Yanfeng Martial Arts School.

Shen Ping stood in his office, watching the snowflakes gradually fall outside the window, his eyes calm. Two years had passed since he became the master of the Flame Realm Lord and the master of the Dragon Star. In these two years, not only had his strength improved rapidly, but even the Earth had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Thanks to the large-scale sales of Purple Light Dew.

The number of martial artists on Earth has surged dramatically in the past two years, reaching over 40 million. Among them, the number of those who broke through to the God of War level through gene serums has increased from over 3,000 back then to over 40,000 today.

While the number of councilors has not increased as rapidly as that of martial artists and war gods, there are still over a hundred worldwide, with over sixty councilors from the Yanfeng Martial Arts Academy alone, giving them a strong voice within the War God Palace.

"The curator."

"The recapture of the wilderness areas in various cities by China is nearing completion. It is expected that all wilderness areas will be completely cleared by May next year, leaving only some cities as a warning."

Qin Shan reported on the recent events at the martial arts school. The biggest action was helping China reclaim the wilderness areas surrounding its various base cities. With the assistance of planetary-level martial artists and mentalists, along with items such as first-tier Force armor and battle swords, as well as some powerful secret techniques, the martial arts school's planetary-level combat power was quite strong.

After all, no matter how poor one's comprehension is, as long as one cultivates the martial arts secrets of the universe, one's improvement will not be slow. At the very least, one will be much stronger than a monster without any secret techniques or bloodline inheritance. If one is still unable to defeat a monster even with training, it means that one has no talent at all and is better off being an ordinary person.

Shen Ping nodded slightly. The monsters on land are no longer a threat to humans on Earth. The five major powers in the world will take action in the sea next. However, due to the large number of monsters in the sea, the plan has not yet been fully prepared.

"Qin Shan, you and Mu Yang have both opened accounts on the virtual universe network. Once you've finished dealing with things on Earth, go to Qiulong Star to cultivate properly. Strength is fundamental. In the future, we'll need you to explore the universe and carve out your own path."

Although the Golden Horned Beast is going to descend on Earth next year, having already made contact with the universe, he no longer takes the calamity it brings seriously. Not to mention his teacher, even he himself, at the second level of the Eternal Star Realm, with the support of the laws of fire and space, could completely crush the Golden Horned Beast to the point of death.

Even Hong and Thor were able to suppress the Golden Horned Beast. They both broke through to the Heng Star level in January and June of this year. This was because they joined the Virtual Universe Company and obtained the qualification to purchase S-level bloodline evolution level.

This is the benefit of entering the universe ahead of time.

As a peak-level bloodline behemoth in the starry sky, the Golden Horned Beast is indeed very strong. Its various inherited secret techniques and methods are far beyond what humans on Earth can match. However, in its weaker period, it was not that strong either. In the original work, the reason why Earth was able to fight to the death was simply because Earth did not have any powerful beings at the star level.

Qin Shan nodded emphatically, "Yes, Master."

After entering the universe and witnessing various powerful martial artists, Qin Shan yearned for the universe even more and naturally wanted to explore and adventure in the universe instead of staying on this small Earth.

laugh.

Consciousness connects to the virtual universe.

Shen Ping appeared at Jiuxingwan Community.

Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong were sitting in the living room.

"Shen Ping."

"The curator."

The three greeted Shen Ping in turn.

Shen Ping casually sat down on the sofa. "What are you talking about?"

Luo Feng said, "It's about Earth's contact with the universe. In the past two years, we have frequently traveled between Earth and Qiulong Star. Sometimes we would disappear for several months at a time. How could the major powers and forces not notice? At first, we tried to cover it up, but in recent months we have stopped trying to hide it, so they naturally found out about it."

"Last month, Hong distributed more than a dozen anonymous consciousness-sensing helmets to various countries and members of parliament, allowing them to access the universe. Now, many people want to access it in real life."

Thor grinned and said, "They're not satisfied with just virtual contact anymore. Hmph, given the nature of these forces, who knows what they'll do once they're in space."

Hong looked at Shen Ping and said, "Although the rest of us have joined the Virtual Universe Company, and you, Shen Ping, have even become the disciple of a peak Realm Lord, you have enough background and strength to protect Earth, but it is still too risky to connect with the universe right now."

"The Earth has many treasures, and if they are leaked, they will attract a lot of covetousness."

Shen Ping was well aware of this. During the Golden Horned Beast's calamity, although many councilors were willing to make sacrifices, some backed down and even attacked the families of the heroes after the calamity. Therefore, if these people were allowed to come into contact with the universe in advance and witness its vastness and various cultivation resources and treasures, how could they not be tempted?

Once greed takes hold, one will inevitably try to exchange various kinds of information from Earth.

Human nature cannot withstand the test.

Moreover.

Earth has many treasures. The mechanical race's immortal spaceship from Bermuda alone is enough to cause a sensation. World Lords would definitely fight to seize it. He is now a disciple of a World Lord, but if other World Lords or even ordinary immortals covet it, his teacher simply cannot stop them.

Therefore, at this stage, information about Earth must continue to be blocked.

"If they want to make contact, let them figure out their own way to build a spaceship to leave Earth and go to space."

"All we can provide here are anonymous consciousness-sensing helmets. Use them or not, it's up to you. If anyone acts up, we'll have to use some measures. We can't be too lenient."

Shen Ping said coldly, "They have been exposed to the virtual universe and should know how cruel the universe is. It is normal for the entire population of a weak life planet to be sold as slaves. The members of parliament of the five major powers and various forces have been protected too much and have lost their awe of the universe."

"Hong, sometimes you can't always be so humble."

"It's true that Earth is our home, but what we need to protect is Earth itself, not some member of parliament or representative of a powerful nation."

Thor chuckled and said, "Shen Ping, I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. Those guys need to be taught a lesson so they won't keep chattering away and becoming annoyed."

Hong nodded. "I will personally convene a global council at the Ares Palace to discuss this matter."

Luo Feng remained silent. He was actually the most worried, after all, he was the heir of Meteorite Star, and many treasures on Earth were left behind by the owner of Meteorite Star. If he were discovered, he would be the first to be affected. However, seeing Shen Ping's firm attitude, he felt relieved.

After discussing this matter...

Hong brought up the matter of the space trainee mercenary assessment.

"Shen Ping, we're planning to go to space together for mercenary assessments and adventures after Luo Feng breaks through to the Hengxing level. What do you think? Are you interested?"

Luo Feng and Thor were both filled with anticipation.

Shen Ping is the strongest among them. If they go on adventures together, they won't have to worry about being slaughtered by others at the same level.

"A space mercenary assessment?"

"Go, of course I'll go. Although the Killing Arena Battle Space allows me to fight other geniuses, it's not stressful. Besides, my teacher said that I should go out and explore whenever I have the chance."

Shen Ping said with a smile.

He could easily acquire some treasures in the Thunder World to boost his family's business, and he would never miss such an opportunity to improve his family's development.

Thor laughed heartily, "With Shen Ping here, we can rest assured. Luo Feng, try to break through to the Hengxing level as soon as possible."

Luo Feng said helplessly, "I wish I could, but breakthroughs for mentalists aren't easy. But it'll be soon, at most a few more years."

He had long wanted to break through to the Hengxing level, because becoming a Hengxing star would allow him to inherit the bank account left by the owner of Meteorite Star, which contained a large sum of money that was very important to him as he desperately needed funds.

Hong laughed and said, "No rush. Thor and I have recently gained some insights into the domain, and we need time to digest them."

……

a few days later.

On the sea near the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Shen Ping, whose body was covered in the fiery color of the Flame Star Flower, plunged directly into the depths of the sea.

He turned on the detector and carefully scanned back and forth, leaving no stone or mud undetected on the seabed. The detector was a specially purchased small instrument that could accurately scan anything within its range.

"The Golden Horned Beast has been here for over a year. This time, I'm fully prepared; I'm confident I can find your egg!"

In the original story, the Golden Horned Beast appeared before Luo Feng entered the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins. At that time, Shen Ping was not in a hurry to search for it, but waited until now, fearing that the Golden Horned Beast might escape.
