Swallowed Star

Chapter 1088: Decision

Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress was sitting in the penthouse hall of a skyscraper. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"Come in," Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress said.

Hua!

The door opened automatically, and a man with four hoofs, two hands, and numerous antennae on his face walked in.

"Boss, these are the financial statements for this year," the man said and handed in the documents respectfully.

Characters of other races lined the documents. Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress took the documents and skimmed through them. It was a corporation he had established when disguising himself as an ordinary life form on this planet. Though it may have sounded ridiculous for a mighty, top-tier universe overlord to do such a thing, he enjoyed being close to most ordinary beings of the universe. Sometimes, he might gain new inspiration in laws when feeling the competition among the ordinary.

"Leave me first," ordered Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress. "I'll hold a meeting later."

"Yes, sir."

The ordinary life forms working for this corporation would never have guessed how terrific their boss was. Even the so-called great beings—a great being at the universe level—was a joke to Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress. He had secretly manipulated several power struggles on the planet, and it was like the blink of an eye to him. He could annihilate the double stars in the sky with a thought if he so desired…

The Golden Horned Beast had transferred Luo Feng's soul to himself, thought Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress. Undying fighters' souls can't be robbed. Does that mean Luo Feng's soul was transferred when he was a sector lord? Luo Feng gained such fame on Redbud Island, but is it possible that his soul was already transferred to the Golden Horned Beast? No wonder Luo Feng could be revived right after he died. He must be a new body of that Golden Horned Beast.

Soul transfer meant entering the original soul into a new body. The Golden Horned Beast had his original body and three other bodies, and the mind of a body had to leave and abandon the original body to occupy a new body. However, soul transfer could only be done on beings beneath the level of undying…

"Hmm?" Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress stood up abruptly. "Something's wrong."

Luo Feng was able to kill a pinnacle emperor when he was only a sector lord, thought Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress, and he killed Bark Mirror Emperor as an undying fighter. His body is as powerful as those unique life forms. Regardless, a sector-lord level body is not able to withhold the soul of a universe knight, even if his body has a life gene level of thousands of times! Was the Golden Horned Beast only undying when he did soul transfer on Luo Feng?

"That's right," he muttered. "This is the only explanation! That is how he succeeded! And that is why I can't recognize him even with such fame! But how did he perform such a powerful technique? Even inherited techniques of unique life forms aren't that strong."

It was impossible for Luo Feng to get the Golden Horned Beast's soul! It had only been a short while since Luo Feng started training, and he wasn't able to create techniques that terrific.

It was also impossible for the Golden Horned Beast to get Luo Feng's soul! Luo Feng, when he was only a sector-lord, wasn't able to withhold the soul of a universe knight, and the Golden Horned Beast must have still been undying before… It was also impossible for the Golden Horned Beast to have created techniques at that level.

But they used the same technique! Which means they had the same mind! Soul transfer must've happened! How? What happened?

Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress couldn't figure it out after pondering the secret for a long while. He was amazed at how mysterious the universe was, and there were many inexplicable matters in the universe.

******

Lord of Fan Nuo Fortress was living on that ordinary planet while Luo Feng went back to his god country and continued the comprehension. He wanted to make a breakthrough and became a universe knight.

At the same time, in the palace surrounded by endless chaos airflow, at the apex of Thunder Island of the virtual universe, Primal Chaos City Leader sat at the edge of the cliff with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. Suddenly, a light shone beside him, and a picture with detailed descriptions showed up on the screen.

"Huh? It was sent by the virtual universe. What's the information?" Primal Chaos City Leader looked at the screen, confused. The moment he saw the screen, he grew surprised. "Luo Feng got the disambiguation mirror stone?"

"Chaos!" A sound rang in the space.

"Huge Axe," Primal Chaos City Leader responded respectfully. Only two beings in the human race could talk to him without application, and Huge Axe Creator was one of them. action

"Chaos, did you know that Luo Feng used the virtual universe system to appraise the disambiguation mirror stone?" boomed the voice. "The other universe masters know it, too. I decided to hold a meeting to decide who that stone belongs to. Do you agree?"

"Yes." Primal Chaos City Leader nodded.

Primal Chaos City Leader knew that Disambiguation Stone had to do with the most important true treasure since the original stars opened! Universe masters didn't care about ordinary true treasures at all. However, as for the pinnacle true treasures that were able to be born in The Disambiguation Temple, all the powers in the universe craved them.

It was already generous of Huge Axe Creator to hold a meeting instead of asking for it from Luo Feng directly. After all, the virtual universe system belonged to the human race! And the most senior beings in the human race were Huge Axe Creator, Primal Chaos City Leader, Void Gold Master, Spread Mountain Master, Long Yan Master, and those who were their equals. After Luo Feng appraised the disambiguation mirror stone, the virtual universe transferred the message to the seniors.

******

In a dimension in the virtual universe where there was dimming starlight in the dark, a godly palace floated in the sky.

There was a long stone bench in front of the godly palace with stone chairs on both sides. At one end of the bench was located only one stone chair, and a wild man sat in it. Suddenly, more beings showed up on the chairs on both sides of the bench. They were universe masters of the human race. Everyone arrived in no time.

"Everyone's here," the wild man said, looking sideways, but all the universe masters looked at him respectfully… Huge Axe Creator was a universe supreme master!

"Luo Feng obtained the disambiguation mirror stone," he went on, "and it's related to a valuable that can possibly be a pinnacle true treasure. It's vital to our race, but it was obtained by Luo Feng through his own power, which means we can't ask for it directly. How are we supposed to get it?"

Huge Axe Creator gave the first prerequisite: that they couldn't ask for it directly.

"The disambiguation mirror stone…" said a cold voice. "It's related to the Disambiguation Temple! Luo Feng is nothing compared to that! Just ask him to give us the stone, and we'll pay him back. Is it enough to give him a senior true treasure? We can give him more if he thinks it's not enough."

"Yes," some universe masters said, nodding. "I agree."

"Though he obtained it by himself, it would be a waste to let him keep it! After the Disambiguation Temple opens, the stone will be useless. However, that stone might bring us humans a pinnacle true treasure."

"I agree."

"I do, too."

The universe masters voiced their opinions one after another.

"Although what you said makes sense," said a gentle voice, "I need you all to remember that Luo Feng is a timeless and peerless talent of our race! And it's easy to imagine him to be proud! The disambiguation mirror stone is important, but it's also important not to damage our relationship with Luo Feng. We need to be careful, and we must learn from what happened with Flame Emperor. Luo Feng's potential is not inferior to that of Flame Emperor, and chances are that he might become a universe master in the future."

"That's different!"

"Luo Feng is completely different from Flame Emperor. Flame Emperor is extremely selfish, and he didn't even know what it meant to protect his own race. I don't feel sorry for losing him at all. Instead, I felt great about it! It would be an insult to me if I had to fight along with him!"

"Flame Emperor is different from Luo Feng."

The gentle voice continued, "For what it's worth, we all know the pride of those super talents. The more talented they are, the more pride they have! And they'll be upset if we can't deal with it appropriately. Technically, the stone belongs to Luo Feng, and he has a right even to waste it. It'll be the best if Huge Axe brings the stone into the Temple, and it's likely for him to get the true treasure with Huge Axe's power."

"Yes."

"I agree with what Qing Dong Master said."

"We need to be careful."

"It'll be a waste to leave it with Luo Feng, but we need to come up with a good way to persuade him."

"It'll be a bit difficult to persuade Luo Feng."

Only Primal Chaos City Leader remained silent. All the universe masters agreed that it would better to placate Luo Feng. They all valued Luo Feng highly even though they were universe masters who ruled the human race.

"What do you think, Chaos?" one of them urged.

Primal Chaos City Leader smiled. "I won't disagree with you guys. We should take the disambiguation mirror stone back, but we can't damage our relationship with Luo Feng. We can't let Luo Feng proceed in the footsteps of Flame Emperor."

All the universe masters nodded. It was not unusual for great beings to join other powers. For one thing, in general, the families of great beings all fell. For another, the more powerful great beings became, the more confident they got, and they could be stubborn on some issues. Once they were infuriated, they would break away from the powers they belonged to.

"I'll leave this to you, Chaos," the wild man said with a grin. "You're his teacher, and he'll listen to you."

"Haha! Chaos, please take care of this."

"Haha…!"

The universe masters all broke into laughter. Primal Chaos City Leader could only nod.

"Please try everything to persuade Luo Feng," the wild man said. "The disambiguation mirror stone is related to the super true treasure in the Disambiguation Temple, after all."

Primal Chaos City Leader nodded. "I'll try my best."
