A short while later, Mei Hua Knight left. Ganwu Country Master also left straight away. After all, staying on was embarrassing.

Luo Feng watched everything in silence.

Ganwu Country Master. Was he lucky? Or unlucky? Luo Feng was not able to tell for sure, but he could see that Ganwu Country Master was in a difficult position.

“Kuang Zhou Knight, I will leave it to you to look for news of Tian Yang Knight. Thank you for helping out.” Luo Feng continued chatting with Kuang Zhou Knight for quite some time before he stood up to leave.

“Haha! I will inform you once I have news. A small matter,” Kuang Zhou Knight said.

Then Luo Feng vanished into thin air.

On the mountains of Thunder Island in the virtual universe, in the palace of Ganwu Country Master.

He was alone, pacing about the gallery area with furrowed brows, deep in thought. He was indeed frustrated… He had not expected the quiet, peaceful days to be disrupted once again after such a long time! He had good relationships with the six universe knights that he was indebted to, so they did not press him. The peaceful years had led him to forget about the difficult times in the past.

But today… he was really in a spot.

“Humph!” Ganwu Country Master slapped the stone pillar beside him so forcefully that it shook, and some powered bits fell off.

“Ganwu,” a voice resonated.

Ganwu Country Master turned and saw a figure descending a distance away. After one look at who it was, he immediately walked over to extend his welcome with a smile. “Luo Feng.”

“It’s been a long time since I visited your humble abode.” Luo Feng smiled.

“You have not spent much time on cultivation, and yet you have made tremendous progress. Time is definitely of the essence.” Ganwu Country Master grinned. “Come, come, come. We shall take a seat over there.”

He led Luo Feng to an open sitting area not too far away. Servants were already laying out a spread of delectable food and fine wine. The two sat across one another.

“Young Hai is not getting himself into any sort of trouble lately, is he?” Luo Feng asked.

“No. He is quite talented and also very hardworking,” Ganwu Country Master said with a smile. “If not for me forcefully keeping him under my reigns, he would already have become undying.”

Luo Feng nodded. His son, Luo Hai, had also cultivated himself for hundreds of thousands of years. Furthermore, he had an abundant supply of resources that would make any undying emperor green with envy. Given Luo Feng’s status, even if his son did not hold very high qualifications, he could still rely on the richness of resources to become undying! Besides, Luo Hai was indeed quite talented and had always considered his father, Luo Feng, his role model.

“Staying as a sector lord for a longer time will be good for him, too,” Luo Feng said. “It would be best if his law comprehension could reach emperor level before he achieved a breakthrough to becoming undying.”

“Yes, that is my plan, too.” Ganwu Country Master nodded his agreement.

“Haha! Young Hai is the only one that I am worried about in my family,” said Luo Feng. “Luckily, I have you as his master to help him all this while.”

Luo Feng expressed his gratitude. His older son, Luo Ping, and his wife, Xu Xin, were all at their family nest… His father, Luo Hong Guo, and mother, Gong Xin Lan, had indulged in virtual games for a good many years. Although unintentionally, they had unknowingly attained the ninth stage of domain level; if they were to put in a little more effort, they would have become sector lords.

Of course, he could allow such uninhibited use of resources, but such use was limited to his parents, wife, sons, and brother. The other hundreds of millions of clansmen of the Luo family would have to follow the rules. Otherwise, even if there was an abundant supply of resources, it would not be enough to provide for countless clansmen if they consumed what they had at a crazy rate. There had to be some rule system within the clan.

Counting only Luo Feng’s closest kin, it would only be his youngest son, Luo Hai, out there wandering. The fact that he considered Luo Feng his role model worried him a bit.

Luckily, Luo Hai had found his way to the Ganwu Dojo, and thereafter, he had been taken under the wing of the dojo’s founder, Ganwu Country Master, who accepted him as a special disciple.

Luo Feng looked at Ganwu Country Master and thought about the how indebted he was to him! When he had just made his appearance among the human race with the identity of merely a genius, Ganwu Country Master had taken good care of his family… As he became stronger and stronger, Ganwu Country Master provided him with even more help, and without reservations. He even went to save Luo Hai in person. Now, he was Luo Hai’s teacher. From the very beginning, Ganwu Country Master had not asked Luo Feng for any help. On the contrary, he had been helping Luo Feng all this while. How could Luo Feng not take all these things to heart? That was why he had come here.

“Ganwu, I witnessed what happened in the inner-city of Hong Alliance City,” Luo Feng began.

Ganwu Country Master’s expression froze momentarily, but the next moment, he shook his head and let out a soft sigh. “Greed. It was greed.” He shook his head and sighed again. “The very first time I was annihilated, I reversed time and space to resurrect myself. If, thereafter, I had not been greedy and wanted to recoup my loss, I would not have taken the risk to borrow a true treasure and would not have gone back into the Original Star. That moment of greed. The last annihilation… Because of these, I am indebted to my clan and owe them a true treasure and a series of treasures. That was the greatest loss I ever incurred. Three falls would naturally bring such an outcome.”

Ganwu Country Master shook his head. “If you want to go to the Original Star, you must be very careful. One careless mistake, and you will be annihilated. If you are annihilated, the price to pay would be exorbitant. If I was able to divide myself into other bodies… how advantageous that would be.”

Luo Feng nodded in agreement. The talent of dividing bodies meant that even if one body was annihilated, the main body could still recover over time at its own pace. There was no need to reverse time and space just to be resurrected. The price to pay was small.

“I need to think of a way to repay my debts!” continued Ganwu Country Master. “Some of my good friends have transferred a portion of their Contributions to me, so I could at least return the true treasure that I owed. Yet being able to pay off that true treasure also meant that I would end up owing a few friends another favor. As for my debt to my clansmen accumulated until today, I can’t tell for sure how many eras it will take me to finally repay everything.”

“Greed!” he said again. “If it weren’t for greed, after the first annihilation, I would not have taken another risk. I would have amassed an amount to completely recoup the loss I incurred from being annihilated. By then, it would not have been too late to move on to the next adventure.” Ganwu Country Master shook his head.

Luo Feng understood him. A clan was no charity. Its existence would help its own clansmen, but to do so, it needed the contributions from great beings of the clan! The privilege to enjoy benefits and the responsibility to contribute were interdependent. If Ganwu Country Master continued to owe his clan repeatedly in such a manner, the debt was bound to multiply. Luckily for him, his clan was not forcing him into a corner.

“How much do you owe?” Luo Feng asked.

“Huh?” Ganwu Country Master was stunned and looked at Luo Feng. He could roughly guess his intentions and was hence unable to suppress his agitated emotions.

Could it be Luo Feng, known to be a mobile treasury, was going to help him?

“I am indebted to six universe knights,” he said. “The smallest amount is a few hundred treasure points, and the largest amount is 2,000 treasure points. All six debts put together equal about 1.6 true treasure points. As for my clan, I owe a total of 2.2 true treasure points.”

Luo Feng was secretly taken aback. Ouch! No wonder he could not pay off everything. 3.8 true treasure points was enough to exchange for two to three ordinary true treasures. Such an amount could be worth the entire fortune of a universe overlord. Ganwu Country Master had accumulated an alarming debt.

Of course, Luo Feng did not really care. From killing Bark Mirror Emperor, he had obtained a true treasure armor. Then, in the Land of Extremis, when he killed Demon Sword Knight, who had the abilities of a universe overlord, he won himself another two true treasures, of which one was a heavenly sword that was a supreme true treasure.

As of today, Luo Feng owned Tower Pearl, Star Map, Shi Wu Wings, Nine Tiger River, Golden King Armor, the heavenly sword and armor of Demon Sword Knight, top-tier true treasure series Beast God Armor, pinnacle true treasure Force Armor, the senior true treasure battle sword Cutting Pearl… and he would be getting the supreme true treasure Star Tower soon!

The quantity was plenty, and their quality was high. Of course, the top three were God Beast Armor, Force Armor, and Star Tower. Out of the three, Force Armor and Star Tower had both been bestowed to him by Sitting Mountain Guest. The Beast God Armor series had been won from Ancestor. These three all came from universe supreme masters.

Given Luo Feng’s techniques, getting hold of true treasures was no difficulty at all. The strong would always be strong! That was the underlying theory behind his success.

“I will lend you 1.6 true treasure points,” Luo Feng said. “As for the amount you owe your people, you’ll have to figure that out for yourself.”

“1.6 true treasure points?” Ganwu Country Master felt every cell of his godly roaring with joy. His emotions ran high. Trillions of years’ worth of debt owed to six good friends, all of whom were universe knights… It was so torturous! Especially with Mei Hua Knight constantly berating him. As a universe knight, he was very particular about pride. Yet in the face of all his good friends’ denunciation, all he could do was tolerate it.

But from this day on… all of these problems would be things of the past.

“Luo Feng…” Ganwu Country Master began but said no more. He was thankful beyond words.

At that moment, he received a notification package to tell him that he had received a Contribution worth 1.6 true treasure points, and, another package that was rushing him to return the Contribution to his clan. Of course, Ganwu Country Master was not in a rush to return to his clan yet. After all, his clansmen would not be put through embarrassment.

“I can only help this much; the rest is up to you,” Luo Feng said, and he stood up.

“This favor is really… Haha…” Ganwu Country Master could not hold back his laughter. “I’m sorry, I’m forgetting myself here… This stress that has been weighing on me for what feels like an eternity. Today, all of it has been lifted off me. What follows will be to gradually return to my clan.”

Luo Feng nodded. Ganwu Country Master had helped his family so much, and this would be a way of repaying his kindness. Helping him with 1.6 true treasure points should suffice. What he owed his own clan would serve as a form of reminder and pressure on Ganwu Country Master.

“I will make a move first.”

Luo Feng disappeared the very next moment.

Ganwu Country Master stood unmoving, his eyes lit up, bright then brighter.

“Hahaha…! Hahaha! Hahaha…!” Ganwu Country Master turned up his head and laughed. His joyful laughter resonating throughout the entire palace. Servants hand-picked by Ganwu Country Master looked at one another. They had never heard him laugh so happily before. He was laughing without inhibition.

Ganwu Country Master immediately transferred the Contributions to his six good friends accordingly.

The six universe knights contacted Ganwu one after the other.

“Ganwu, you actually returned the Contributions?”

“Where did you get them from?”

“Ganwu, what I did in the Hong Alliance City earlier on was unintentional. I just had an anxiety attack. Where did you get the Contributions from? If you are really at wits’ end, do not just act recklessly. Taking a little more time is fine. I can still pull through.”

Ganwu Country Master was in a very good mood, so he chatted with every one of these six universe knights.

“All my stress, gone in a day.” Ganwu Country Master felt relaxed, but at the same time, he sighed to himself. This Luo Feng’s progress was unbelievable… within the blink of an eye, he had transferred 1.6 true treasure points over to him.

In the starry sky of the universe, amidst the darkness, there was an indistinct space whirlpool.

“The path to Original Star Number 02818?”

Luo Feng stood in the middle of the starry sky with silver wings widely spread. The Force Armor that he donned appeared silver; on his back was his Cutting Pearl Sword.

“Previously, I entered secretly, so no one knew that I, Luo Feng, has entered an original star,” he said. “There were a few knights within the Hong Alliance already discussing this… saying that I was purely making excuses when I said that would not lend anyone my true treasures because I wanted to go into the original star. Haha! Of course, I should now enter as my human form. Universe overlords of other races… the mobile treasury in human form is coming!”

Luo Feng took one big step across the starry sky and stepped into that gigantic space whirlpool. There, he was rapidly brought to the original star.
