Earth

Compared to Zhou Tong's freedom and solitude, Luo Feng has many more things to consider.

First and foremost, he had to ensure the safety of his family.

In the future, Luo Feng is destined to wander the universe for a long time, and the safety of his family naturally becomes his top priority. He will never allow a situation like Li Yao's, which threatens his loved ones, to happen again.

Secondly, the problem of monsters on Earth also urgently needs to be addressed.

Whether out of emotion or responsibility, Luo Feng hopes to completely eliminate the monsters on Earth and restore world peace.

Next, he also had to consider the future development of Earth and the safety issues after connecting to space.

Finally, there is the crucial issue of cultivation.

Through the inheritance from Meteorite Star and his knowledge of the universe, Luo Feng clearly knew that there were deviations in the cultivation path on Earth.

It is clear that he alone cannot correct all of this in a short period of time.

Solving these problems will require a large number of people.

Therefore, although Luo Feng was very resistant to slaves, he had no choice but to buy them in large quantities.

In the end, Luo Feng purchased a thousand slaves of various ranks at the Hengxing level, which was much more generous than in the original story.

Luo Feng bought a large number of slaves, unlike Zhou Tong who only bought one slave and could take it away from the slave shop on the spot. He needed a handover point.

"The handover location is chosen on White Orchid Star, and the slave shop will deliver the goods to our door," Babata confirmed.

Zhou Tong was both surprised and moved by Babata's choice of Bailan Star. He vaguely felt the stirrings of the Great Destiny Technique and the Great Cause and Effect Technique again.

As the protagonist of Devouring the World, Luo Feng is the core of the convergence of fate and cause and effect. It is indeed helpful for him to comprehend these two supreme paths by spending more time with him.

Luo Feng was unaware of Zhou Tong's thoughts and had no time to concern himself with them. He was busy learning about the situation on Bailan Star from Babata and procuring resources for Earth's development through the virtual universe.

Soon, everything was arranged.

After returning to the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship, Luo Feng closed his eyes to rest, something he hadn't done in a long time. Previously, he had almost given up sleep for cultivation, as every minute and second on Qiulong Star had cost a fortune, and he felt bad about wasting it.

......

With a blink of an eye, the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship arrived at White Orchid Star.

With nothing to do, Zhou Tong stayed on the spaceship.

Luo Feng stepped off the spaceship and looked at the snow-covered white warehouse base, feeling quite satisfied.

"The warehouse here is big enough and cheap, let's just buy it."

Moreover, this place is only 1.18 light-years away from Earth, and the Black Dragon Mountain spacecraft can make a round trip in a day.

Babata responded, "They did indeed post a listing for the sale of permanent ownership, asking for 8 million silver-blue coins, plus an annual planetary management tax of 60. However, we'll use black dragon coins for the transaction, so perhaps we can negotiate further."

Luo Feng nodded, letting Babata go to negotiate, while he kept an eye on the transport ships of the slave shop and the delivery of other purchased supplies.

In the end, Babata bought the warehouse for 80 Black Dragon Coins. Although the price did not decrease, the other party exempted him from planetary management tax for 500 years, which was still a worthwhile deal.

After the handover procedures were completed, the slaves and supplies purchased by Luo Feng arrived one after another.

It took Luo Feng two whole days to receive all the supplies and store them in his spatial ring.

He then left 100 star-level slaves to guard the warehouse, and took the rest back to Earth.

"Let's go! Let's go home!" Luo Feng announced with anticipation.

......

A few hours later, in the solar system.

Suddenly, a patch of starry sky rippled like water, and the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship appeared out of thin air.

"Panoramic simulation activated!" Babata's voice rang out.

As the distant blue planet came into view, both Luo Feng and Zhou Tong were filled with excitement.

"I'm home!" Luo Feng exclaimed, his eyes even welling up with tears as he saw his hometown, which he hadn't seen for a year.

"Babata, back to Earth!" Luo Feng ordered, then looked at Zhou Tong: "Are you coming with me to see everyone this time, or going back to your Shennongjia?"

Zhou Tong stared at the Earth, somewhat lost in thought. Hearing Luo Feng's question, he snapped out of his reverie: "I can't subdue the insect nests in Shennongjia yet, and it's been a long time since I've been in contact with society, so it'll be good to go and take a look."

Looking back on his time in the world that swallowed Earth, Zhou Tong realized that he didn't even have a fixed place to live, and the only person he knew was Luo Feng. Apart from that, there was only the military squad that had saved him.

"This is a good opportunity to repay their life-saving grace back then," Zhou Tong thought. Helping them break through to the planetary level would also settle this karmic debt.

Soon, they arrived at Yangzhou.

Seeing the myriad lights twinkling in the night sky, Zhou Tong suddenly said, "Luo Feng, don't worry about me, go and do your thing. Just let me know when you need to find the Golden Horned Beast."

Then, Zhou used his mental powers to find the street with the strongest local atmosphere and flew out of the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship.

We landed in a deserted alley.

Walking onto the bustling street, Zhou Tong relaxed completely, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"The warmth and comfort of everyday life are what truly soothe the soul."

As Zhou Tong strolled through the crowd, he sighed softly, as if he had returned to the time before he traveled back in time.

Then Zhou Tong immediately got to work.

Milk tea in my left hand, grilled skewers in my right, my mouth is dripping with oil, and I only have one word in my mind—awesome.

At this moment, he forgot about time travel and cultivation, as if he had returned to that carefree night.

After feeling satisfied, Zhou Tong stood on a rooftop to rest, looking down at the brightly lit, neon-lit streets below, and suddenly felt a sense of wonder.

"At this moment..."

While muttering to himself, Zhou Tong's mind was suddenly triggered by one of the three thousand Great Daos—the Great Wish Technique.

"When I attain eternal life, all beings in all the heavens and myriad realms who recite my name will attain freedom!"

"When I attain eternal life, all calamities and disasters in the heavens and myriad realms will not befall any living being!"

......

After some time, Zhou Tong awoke from his enlightenment, his heart filled with excitement.

"Two of the Forty-Eight Great Vows of the Great Wish Technique have actually been mastered!"

Reflecting on his recent experience, Zhou Tong decided to strike while the iron was hot and continue his travels around the world, going wherever the excitement was.

With the New Year approaching, lively places are everywhere.

Meanwhile, Luo Feng had settled into his new home. Taking advantage of the reunion with his family, he fulfilled his promise to Xu Xin before heading to space, celebrating the wedding and the New Year together.

Afterwards, Luo Feng went to see Hong and Lei Shen.

Based on previous discussions with Babata and Zhou Tong's advice, Luo Feng, in addition to the core secrets left to him by Hu Yanbo, detailed all other inheritances and cosmic insights to the two of them.

After all, with the support of Hong and Lei Shen, what Luo Feng wants to do will be very simple.

Moreover, Earth's future access to the universe will require more powerful beings.

Hong and Lei Shen's cultivation talents are even stronger than Luo Feng's. They have reached this point today by relying on their own exploration and some fragments of information from civilization relics without any guidance. If they had good guidance, they would definitely be able to reach even greater heights.

This time, although Luo Feng did not become sworn brothers with Hong and Lei Shen, the three became fellow disciples because he taught them the cultivation techniques of the Meteorite Star warriors. As their direct disciple, Luo Feng naturally became Hong and Lei Shen's senior brother.
