Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent - Chapter 31: Magili Meng’s Reminder
With time, more and more powerful beings gathered here.
The incarnation of the Eternal True God, the Chaos City Lord, and Zhen Yan arrived one after another. The birth of a Void True God in the Primal Universe was a significant event, attracting a large number of spectators.
“Luo Feng,” Hong and Lei Shen also arrived, traveling on a secret treasure.
“Big Brother, Second Brother,” Luo Feng nodded with a smile. The three of them had journeyed from Earth together, forging a bond unlike any other.
“Once Master Zuo Shan Ke breaks through, he’ll attempt reincarnation, right?” Hong asked. As a True God, Luo Feng had already instructed them that even if they had the assurance of breaking through, they should not rush it. They should first discuss with Luo Feng and the Eternal True God before deciding the timing of their breakthrough.
Luo Feng looked into the distance. “Yes, after the breakthrough, he must attempt reincarnation within a year.”
“Brother,” Luo Hua arrived with their father Luo Hongguo and mother Gong Xinlan, accompanied by ‘Ximo’ for protection.
“Master Zuo Shan Ke is your teacher and is about to attempt reincarnation. Naturally, we had to come,” Luo Hongguo said. The fact that Zuo Shan Ke was Luo Feng’s teacher was well-known in the Primal Universe.
Luo Feng nodded slightly and continued to watch the expanding small universe.
The small universe expanded for more than a month, reaching a diameter of seventy-two billion light-years before stopping.
“Hu.”
An old figure flew out of the small universe; it was Zuo Shan Ke.
Luo Feng went up alone to meet him.
“Teacher,” Luo Feng flew closer.
“I’ve been in the Primal Universe for so long; it’s time to return,” Zuo Shan Ke sighed. Although he had lived in the Primal Universe for over an era, it was ultimately not his homeland.
“Are you going to attempt reincarnation now?” Luo Feng asked, looking at Zuo Shan Ke.
Zuo Shan Ke nodded. “Right now.”
“How will we meet in the future?” Luo Feng asked.
After his master reached the Origin Continent, he would undergo reincarnation, and the divine power incarnation left in the Primal Universe would dissipate. Meeting again would be very difficult then.
“When it’s time to meet, we will meet,” Zuo Shan Ke smiled at his disciple. “My greatest achievement in the Primal Universe over an era is taking you as my disciple.”
“A mediocre disciple relies on the master’s guidance, but a truly brilliant disciple only needs a bit of help from the master,” Zuo Shan Ke looked at Luo Feng. “How far you can go ultimately depends on yourself.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“Remember, do not rush,” Zuo Shan Ke reminded. “When you are strong enough, avenging me will be a natural thing. If you are not strong enough and force it, you will only die.”
“I understand. I have patience,” Luo Feng nodded.
Zuo Shan Ke nodded. “I am going to attempt reincarnation; no need to see me off!”
After speaking, Zuo Shan Ke nodded slightly to the many powerful beings in the distance and flew towards the ‘Reincarnation Passage’ of Qinfeng World.
Luo Feng watched this scene from afar.
…
As planned, after Master Zuo Shan Ke attempted reincarnation and reached the Origin Continent, he quickly used the reincarnation secret technique to be reborn as a native life form of the Origin Continent.
“Luo Feng,” the Chaos City Lord quickly arrived.
“Teacher,” Luo Feng greeted. From Earth to now, Zhen Yan, the Chaos City Lord, and Zuo Shan Ke had all greatly helped him, and he had always respected these teachers.
“Zuo Shan Ke’s small universe has started to collapse!” the Chaos City Lord said anxiously.
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
“He’s your teacher, aren’t you worried?” the Chaos City Lord was puzzled. “You told many True Gods among humans that as long as they broke through to the True God realm before attempting reincarnation, success was certain. How could Zuo Shan Ke die?”
The Chaos City Lord had little to no relationship with Zuo Shan Ke, but he had devoted his life to the human race and naturally worried about the future safety of the many human True Gods.
“Master Zuo Shan Ke succeeded in reincarnation,” Luo Feng said. “He died after completing it.”
The Chaos City Lord was puzzled. “Died after completing it?”
“Due to the restrictions of the supreme rules, I can’t say,” Luo Feng explained.
“I understand,” the Chaos City Lord nodded, aware of this restriction.
The Eternal True God and Luo Feng had both passed through reincarnation. One was his teacher, the other his disciple. He was well aware of the supreme rules’ restrictions.
“As long as one breaks through to the True God realm, the reincarnation attempt will be safe,” the Chaos City Lord nodded. “As for Zuo Shan Ke…”
“In the future, you will know, Teacher,” Luo Feng said.
******
Origin Continent, Yuguo, Huyang City.
“Boom~~~”
The hall door of the underground palace opened, and Luo Feng emerged.
“Master,” Morosa came to greet him swiftly, and Moyu Qingyan quickly followed from a distance.
“Mm,” Luo Feng nodded at them, then leaped to a distant mountain and sat on a large rock, drinking alone.
This scene made Morosa and Moyu Qingyan exchange glances.
“Go about your business,” Morosa instructed Moyu Qingyan, then he quietly flew to Luo Feng, smiling fawningly.
“Master, what’s wrong? You don’t seem very happy?” Morosa asked.
“I’m not unhappy,” Luo Feng gently shook his head. His master’s reincarnation was in preparation for revenge, and his greatest hope for this revenge clearly rested on him. The strength of Shiguo to invade and survive until now indicated their power. Defeating Shiguo’s rulers wouldn’t be easy, and Luo Feng naturally felt some pressure.
“Not unhappy?” Morosa observed Luo Feng.
“I am thinking about several formidable enemies,” Luo Feng said.
“Master’s formidable enemies? Several?” Morosa asked. “Who are they? Do you need my help?”
Seeing Morosa, Luo Feng’s mood lightened.
He needed to hone his will, diligently practice secret techniques, and comprehend laws, step by step improving. But Morosa, eating and drinking, absorbing energy, would naturally grow to a point where he could overlook Shiguo.
“If I need your help, I will say so,” Luo Feng said. “I think I can deal with them.”
“Leave the corpses to me then,” Morosa quickly reminded.
Luo Feng laughed. “Don’t worry.”
“By the way, Magili Meng sent a message through Moyu Qingyan, wanting to visit you,” Morosa said.
“He sent a message through Qingyan?” Luo Feng was surprised.
“I heard Moyu Qingyan’s father, ‘Moyu Hu,’ has been recruited to the City Lord’s Mansion and is now an official there,” Morosa laughed.
Luo Feng had a favorable impression of Moyu Hu, the first being he met upon arriving at the Origin Continent. Moyu Hu was willing to do anything for his three children, which Luo Feng admired.
“Let Magili Meng come,” Luo Feng said.
“Yes, I will arrange it immediately,” Morosa quickly left.
Since the Magili family residence was also in the Chaos District, Magili Meng soon came with Diao Rongqi to visit.
“Divine Lord Luo He,” Magili Meng greeted warmly.
“Honorable One,” Diao Rongqi, with tears in her eyes, knelt immediately. “Thank you, Honorable One, for avenging my father and the many beings of my Diao Rong Family.”
“Please, have a seat,” Luo Feng was already seated.
Magili Meng sat opposite Luo Feng, while Diao Rongqi stood aside.
“I am Magili Meng, fortunate enough to serve as the Deputy City Lord of Huyang City,” Magili Meng smiled. “I heard about Divine Lord Luo He killing the Blood Python Society’s leader and was deeply impressed. I came to visit.”
The major affairs of the City Lord’s Mansion were decided jointly by the Five Great Families, and Magili Meng was the representative of the Magili family, also serving as the Deputy City Lord.
“It was a small matter,” Luo Feng said.
“A small matter to you, but not to our City Lord’s Mansion. Throughout the Origin Continent, dark forces are endless and unending,” Magili Meng shook his head. “Our City Lord’s Mansion can only try to restrain them, unable to eradicate them completely. If we don’t give them a little benefit, the dark forces will tear us apart and massacre and plunder.”
“Maintaining order is not easy,” Luo Feng nodded.
He knew from the intelligence of the Jin Divine King lineage and the Broken Eastern River lineage that some terrifying beings were insanely brutal. Weak True Gods had no ability to resist when faced with their slaughter and plundering.
The City Lord’s Mansion restrained them forcefully while giving them some benefits to maintain balance. This was already the ideal living environment for weaker True Gods.
“True Gods’ living areas are absolutely safe! During the busy daytime and in some bustling areas at night, we absolutely forbid dark forces from acting,” Magili Meng said. “But if someone goes to remote and dark places and gets killed by dark forces, we can’t help it.”
“This also leaves a slight leeway for dark forces. If pushed too hard, they will defect to Shiguo’s forces,” Magili Meng shook his head. “Shiguo’s forces are the greatest bane of Huyang City.”
Luo Feng listened.
“Xiao Qi, you go out
first,” Magili Meng looked at Diao Rongqi beside him. She gratefully looked at Luo Feng, respectfully saluted, and left.
“Divine Lord Luo He,” Magili Meng lowered his voice. “I want to ask, would you be willing to take on a bounty from the City Lord’s Mansion to kill ‘Blood Cloud,’ the leader of Shiguo’s forces?”
“I heard that Blood Cloud has fought the City Lord’s Mansion many times. Even when the City Lord’s Mansion mobilized the entire Huyang City’s formation, and Magili Xiao personally took action, they couldn’t deal with Blood Cloud?” Luo Feng asked.
In Huyang City, the City Lord’s Mansion had the geographical advantage.
Yet Blood Cloud remained free.
“He’s very strong,” Magili Meng admitted.
“So you want to hire me. Naturally, the price should be high,” Luo Feng said.
Magili Meng was startled.
Does he really dare take it?
“How much?” Magili Meng asked.
“In addition to the public bounty from Yan Feng Pavilion, add an extra five million Cosmos Sand,” Luo Feng said. “I can give it a try, but I can’t guarantee success. If I fail, I won’t take the bounty.”
Magili Meng shook his head repeatedly. “That’s too high. If the City Lord’s Mansion could afford it, we would have already offered a public bounty of six million Cosmos Sand at Yan Feng Pavilion. That might attract some terrifying strong beings from afar.”
“How much can you offer?” Luo Feng asked.
“The current bounty for Blood Cloud at Yan Feng Pavilion is one million Cosmos Sand. We can offer an additional one million Cosmos Sand,” Magili Meng said, looking at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng shook his head. “Too little!”
“Divine Lord Luo He, if you’re interested, I can think of a way, but adding five million Cosmos Sand is impossible,” Magili Meng said.
“Find Blood Cloud first,” Luo Feng didn’t say more. Before dealing with the Blood Python Society’s leader, Luo Feng had wanted to deal with Blood Cloud. The biggest problem was finding him.
Magili Meng nodded. “He’s hiding very carefully. Once we find him, we’ll contact you.”
“Let’s discuss it then,” Luo Feng agreed.
“By the way, Divine Lord Luo He, before the leader of the Blood Python Society died, he sent messages to several forces,” Magili Meng said. “I received one of them.”
“Oh? What message did he send before he died?” Luo Feng asked.
Magili Meng said, “Divine Lord Luo He, give me a contact imprint, and I’ll send you the complete message.”
Luo Feng took out a messaging token, and both left their contact imprints for each other.
“A regular messaging token?” Magili Meng noted.
This type of regular messaging token had a range slightly larger than Huyang City, but even a small universe could block its messages. However, the stronger the being, the more they preferred using such a regular token.
“Here is the message he sent me,” Magili Meng immediately sent it to Luo Feng.
Luo Feng read it and laughed. “His mechanical treasure is worth 1.5 million Cosmos Sand, mine is worth 5 million Cosmos Sand? How did I not know my mechanical treasure was so expensive?”
Magili Meng was secretly surprised. This Luo He didn’t hide anything in front of him and admitted to having a mechanical treasure.
Obviously, this Luo He was very confident.
“Divine Lord Luo He, you must not be careless,” Magili Meng reminded. “Such enormous wealth might attract some terrifying strong beings from afar to target you.”
“Would they believe it?” Luo Feng asked.
“Some might believe it. Anyone daring to act must have some backing,” Magili Meng said.
Luo Feng nodded. “Thank you, Magili Brother.”
Deep down, Luo Feng was quite looking forward to formidable beings coming, as he could become wealthier.
