"After resurrection, can everyone obtain eternal life?" Xu Xin asked.
"Yes," Luo Feng nodded.
"What about the numbers?" Xu Xin pressed further.
"For me, there are no limits," Luo Feng said with a smile.
Xu Xin was overwhelmed by shock. As Luo Feng's wife and someone who managed many affairs within the Milky Way Holy Land Universe, she understood all too well the problems that would arise from "resurrection with eternal life and no restrictions on numbers."
"We must set a threshold for resurrection," Xu Xin said. "Otherwise, the sheer number of resurrected lives will severely disrupt order. Over time, this group will keep growing, and with their endless descendants, the impact will only worsen."
Resurrection with eternal life is a joyous event, but if mishandled, it could lead to endless consequences.
"Don't worry about disrupting order," Luo Feng reassured her with a smile.
"For the resurrection list of the Original Universe, I will create a new, separate Original Universe for them! They will live in this new universe, blessed by its rules, all granted 'eternal life.' However, their cultivation will still start from the Planetary level, progressing step by step through the Stellar level and beyond. If they have the capability to cultivate to the 'Void True God' level and break through the cycle to enter the Origin Continent, that will be their own achievement."
Those who are resurrected would start from weakness, cultivating step by step. In the environment of the Original Universe, how many could truly reach the Eternal True God level?
"A separate, new Original Universe?" Xu Xin's eyes lit up. This would avoid too many complications.
After all, many of those to be resurrected held special statuses, and some had even shown kindness to Luo Feng himself!
"In that case, the list can be greatly expanded. Even the countless innocent lives lost during the Golden Horned Beast catastrophe can be resurrected," Xu Xin nodded.
Even if all were resurrected, it would only amount to the population of a single planet.
And after all, there would be an entirely new Original Universe to accommodate them.
"Still, we must carefully screen the list- those guilty of heinous crimes or who betrayed humanity are not eligible," Xu Xin thought.
"There's no rush. First, draft a well-considered resurrection plan," Luo Feng said.
"If the resurrected beings are killed, will they die permanently?" Xu Xin asked again.
"Yes," Luo Feng nodded.
"I can grant them a chance to be resurrected again, but the threshold must be significantly raised!"
Xu Xin nodded, knowing this would be a far-reaching matter. Even within the Luo family alone, the number of historically talented, meritorious, or sacrificial members who died for the family or humanity was already vast.
"Morosa, I will have my teachers, Di Chu, and Mountain Seating Guest, Zuo Shanke work with you to oversee the resurrection list for practitioners on the Origin Continent," Luo Feng said, "The list for the Origin Continent must be handled with even greater caution."
The beings of the Original Universe are generally weaker and consumes far fewer resources.
The Origin Continent, however, is different. Resurrecting a single being there would consume countless times more resources than resurrecting one from the Original Universe.
"Understood," Morosa replied obediently.
"I'll go find Luo Ping first," Xu Xin said before stepping across the vast space-time to the Original Universe region.
With the ability to channel a trace of the Original Universe's primal power, she could be considered an Emissary of the Origin World! Within the bounds of the Origin Continent's Origin World, even a God Emperor is far from her match.
Luo Feng smiled as he watched. His son, Luo Ping, was the true manager of the Luo family.
With a step, Luo Feng also departed.
"Just what level has Master reached now?" Morosa was filled with questions. Luo Feng had shared everything with his wife, Xu Xin, but had not disclosed it to others- not even Morosa.
Morosa only knew that his master had grown unimaginably powerful, capable of elevating the "mistress" to terrifying heights and resurrecting all lives within the Cage.
"I've heard that only the ruler of an Origin World can resurrect lives within it. Is Master the ruler of an Origin World?" Morosa wondered. Over the years, he had gained some understanding of the realms beyond the Cage.
Luo Feng himself had his own resurrection list. It included those who had shown him kindness during his journey from weakness to strength. For anyone who had shown him even a trace of gratitude, Luo Feng was willing to grant them and their most cherished loved ones a chance at resurrection.
"The former Fire Hammer Squad, the teachers who once instructed me, the comrades who fought alongside me in the wilderness, the companions who perished in the Golden Horned Beast catastrophe..." Each of these figures remained vivid in Luo Feng's heart, never forgotten.
For those who had shown him kindness, Luo Feng would not only revive them but also provide them with resources to ease their cultivation journey.
In a quiet town on the Origin Continent, Mountain Sitting Guest lived in seclusion.
He was immersed in forging artifacts alone.
The flames rose, illuminating Mountain Sitting Guest's face as he gazed at them with fascination. For him, losing himself in cultivation and artifact forging allowed him to forget many things.
"Teacher," a voice called out.
Mountain Sitting Guest froze, then turned to look. His gaze pierced through the quiet chamber to the black-clad, black-haired man standing in the cavern.
"Luo Feng!" Mountain Sitting Guest immediately set aside his forging and stepped out.
"What brings you here so suddenly?" Mountain Sitting Guest asked with a smile.
In this world, this disciple was the closest person to him.
"I came today to share good news," Luo Feng said warmly.
"What good news?" Mountain Sitting Guest smiled, though his heart remained calm.
"I've reached an extremely high level in my cultivation," Luo Feng said. "Now, for all living beings within the Origin World of the Origin Continent- as long as they haven't escaped the Cage- I can resurrect every single one that has ever existed in history!"
Mountain Sitting Guest, Zuo Shanke, felt his mind explode with shock.
Resurrect them all?
"Every being that has ever existed in history?" Mountain Sitting Guest couldn't help but press.
"Yes," Luo Feng nodded. "Including your family and friends- every single one can be revived!"
An overwhelming surge of emotion flooded Mountain Sitting Guest's heart!
joy?
Disbelief?
Incredulity?
Is this real?
Is this a dream?
He stared at Luo Feng, and from his disciple's expression, he knew... it is true.
His disciple, Luo Feng, truly had the power to do this!
"How many can be resurrected?" Mountain Sitting Guest couldn't help but ask. "Can it be ten... or twelve?"
"Teacher, you can prepare a list- up to ten thousand names," Luo Feng said. "Once the list is finalized, I can resurrect them immediately."
With a single thought, Luo Feng could perceive the entire history of his home Origin World. He knew that for his teacher, Mountain Sitting Guest, there were truly thousands of beings who held deep importance. So, he rounded the number generously- ten thousand spots.
"Good... good..." Mountain Sitting Guest looked at Luo Feng, tears streaming down his face- yet he was smiling through them.
"After the fall of the Jin Kingdom, I was left with nothing but a burning desire for vengeance. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the disciple I met in the Original Universe would not only help me achieve my revenge... but also bring back my dearest loved ones who had long since perished."
Luo Feng could sense it. Before killing the king of the Shi Kingdom, his teacher had been consumed by hatred, single-mindedly focused on vengeance.
But after his revenge was complete... Mountain Sitting Guest had seemed as though his heart had died.
Until today.
An overwhelming vitality, an intense joy, radiated from his teacher. Mountain Sitting Guest had finally "come back to life"- his heart is alive again. And as his disciple, there is nothing more gratifying for Luo Feng to see.
"Here is the list."
Mountain Sitting Guest is, after all, a God King. In mere moments, he had finalized the names.
Luo Feng glanced at the ten thousand names. Each one is connected to a figure from the past in the river of time within the Origin World. He could perceive every thread of cause and effect between them and his teacher.
"They are resurrected."
With a single thought, Luo Feng pulled these ten thousand figures from the past timeline into the present!
Under normal circumstances, the rules of an Origin World- if masterless- would retaliate with temporal backlash, erasing any who attempted resurrection on the Origin Continent. But now, the Origin World's rules operated according to Luo Feng's will. Thus, there is no backlash.
"Hmm?" Mountain Sitting Guest saw them- ten thousand figures appearing within the cavern. Among them are the master who had once taught him, his many fellow disciples, his closest friends... and the love of his life.
Mountain Sitting Guest stood frozen, staring at that one figure who had haunted his dreams.
She... Is really back?
The ten thousand resurrected figures are bewildered at this moment. Most had perished in the catastrophe of the Jin Kingdom's fall, while some had died even earlier.
"What's happening?"
"Where is this?"
"Am I... not dead?"
Their memories are still frozen at the moment of their deaths.
Mountain Sitting Guest could no longer hold back. He stepped forward, moving toward his senior sister at this moment...
Luo Feng smiled and quietly vanished.
This is a moment for his teacher and loved ones to reunite- he would not intrude.
The Border of the Practitioners' Territory...
Two inspectors, Chen Shi and Guang Yu, had been dispatched by Lord Luo Feng to meet with the forces of Blood Crane Territory and Omino, respectively.
"The Omino faction... has already retreated?" Guang Yu, a horned man, was stunned.
He carefully inspected the twelve world clusters that had once been occupied by Omino. The entire faction had withdrawn.
Though they had plundered many resources from the vast territory, they had left the countless Origin Worlds and billions of worlds largely untouched.
"The Omino faction is notoriously slippery. They flee at the first sign of trouble." Guang Yu shook his head lightly.
"The moment the war between the two great factions ended, they pulled out completely."
The Omino faction is, in truth, a troublesome force. Once ranked among the top three powers in the Infinite Hunyuan Space, even after their decline, the two ancient beings who remained are not to be trifled with!
Though they had not reached absolute immortality, their strength is formidable, and their survival methods are exceptional. Yet they are cautious- retreating at the slightest hint of danger, never risking their lives needlessly.
"I must report to the Lord immediately." Guang Yu was in high spirits.
Meanwhile, the other inspector, Chen Shi, had run into trouble.
The Blood Crane Territory was far more domineering than Omino.
"You, a mere ant, dare speak to me? Have your Lord come personally if he wishes to address me!" A haughty voice reverberated across the vast space-time.
The bald-headed Chen Shi scowled.
"Even the faction of Innate Hunyuan Lifeforms was defeated in their war against us! And yet, a minor force like the Blood Crane Territory dares to act so arrogantly? Our Lord, in his mercy, offered you the chance to withdraw voluntarily. And you refuse? I will report this to my Lord truthfully!"
"A mere World-Level Hunyuan being, daring to act insolently before me!"
A cold snort echoed.
With a tremor, Chen Shi's clone disintegrated into dust. Even as his form crumbled, his gaze remained icy as he stared at the distant, flickering silhouette.
"What can your so-called 'Lord of Practitioners' even do to me?" The shadow sneered, utterly unafraid.
He wants to take back the territory he occupies with just a word?
What a joke?
