Chapter 1072: Plight
The Golden Horned Beast stepped on the water of the boundless Remote Ocean. His hoofs were tens of thousands of miles tall, and his body was more than 55,000 miles long. That tail, covered with scales, perfectly matched the main body… The wing, also covered with scales, looked as if it could cover the sky and contained endless godly power.
Each inch of his skin merged with the top-tier set true treasure Beast God Armor! His natural scales perfectly integrated with the scales of the true treasure, and there were five small horns and one large horn on his head! Wearing the Beast God Armor made the Golden Horned Beast look fiercer than ever.
“A perfect godly body that’s more than 55,000 miles tall!” Luo Feng was thrilled. “The godly power I have now is much stronger than what I had before.”
From now on, he would be able to perform “I Am the Universe” anytime, and he would be considerably more powerful in his own miniature universe.
The Golden Horned Beast howled loudly.
“Everything’s ready now. It’s time to find Tian Yang Knight.” Luo Feng smiled. “I bought the domain type true treasure Nine Tiger River and obtained the fourth black metal because I couldn’t deal with Tian Yang Knight, but I didn’t expect to gain so much.”
The original plan was only to get the fourth black metal and make the Golden Horned Beast perfect so that he was able to perform I Am the Universe. Yet everything was going much better than he had anticipated.
The top-tier set true treasure Beast God Armor, the senior true treasure Cutting Pearl Sword, and a self-created ultimate technique of universe masters… After practicing on the engraving-picture path for 180 million years, he had become quite confident. He would definitely be able to kill Tian Yang Knight and seize the other wing.
“The problem is, I need to find this Tian Yang Knight first.” Luo Feng was wearing Force Armor and carrying the Cutting Pearl Sword with his wing open… He left his god country with his Golden Horned Beast in his world ring and departed for the original stars.
Although ordinary great beings of the human race would make an avatar to connect to the virtual universe when all their bodies were leaving for the original stars, it was unnecessary for Luo Feng to do so… Remote Ocean body was Luo Feng’s largest body, and he could connect to the virtual universe using the sensor.

Luo Feng walked into the open-air bar in the virtual universe where universe knights from the Hong Alliance shared information.
“Luo Feng.”
“Blade River.”
The universe knights greeted Luo Feng, but they isolated themselves from the surroundings and started to gossip as soon as he walked away.
“Many universe knights went to ask Luo Feng for true treasures when the original stars just opened,” one of them said, “and I heard that even his brother ‘Gui Yi Knight’ went to him as well. However, he didn’t lend anything to anyone because he said he wanted to go, too. Yet he hasn’t stepped foot in the original stars yet.”
“He won’t unless he seeks his own death! He’s no fool. He’s like a moving treasure chest and carries great fame. He’ll definitely attract widespread attention if he goes. But it was lame for him to refuse to help. If he didn’t dare go in, he shouldn’t have used it as an excuse! Why didn’t he just say he didn’t want to lend his true treasures?”
“That’s right… Why couldn’t he just be straightforward? Why did he lie and tell others that he was going, too?”
There were thousands of universe knights in the open-air bar, and discussions transpired when Luo Feng walked if, but they all kept them as secrets… After all, Luo Feng was able to kill Bark Mirror Emperor as an undying fighter. He would almost certainly become a universe overlord when he became a universe knight… Nobody wanted to mess with Luo Feng.
“Kuang Zhou Knight,” shouted Luo Feng.
The built man with three horns on his head turned around and laughed. “Blade River!” He walked toward Luo Feng. “Come here!”
Luo Feng walked to an empty table and sat on the giant table. Great beings in the Hong Alliance were of different sizes, and the chairs were not only exquisite but also gigantic!
Kuang Zhou Knight sat down. Luo Feng ordered a glass of grape wine, and an undying waiter served him the wine instantly. It was the dream of many undying fighters to be servants here, as it was easy for them to meet universe knights who were almost impossible for them to meet otherwise. They might even become friends with some universe knights if they were lucky enough. Besides, they could also overhear some confidential information about the universe.
“Blade River, you wouldn’t have come to see me if you didn’t want my help,” Kuang Zhou Knight said. He put down his glass and laughed. “Tell me, what’s the matter?” Their voices were blocked from the others.
“Help me find a universe knight from another race,” said Luo Feng.
“Who?” asked Kuang Zhou Knight.
“Tian Yang Knight,” said Luo Feng. “I want to know who he is, which original star he’s on, and what the coordinates are.”
“The universe overlord ‘Tian Yang Knight’ of the automaton race? The one known for his ‘Eight Shuttles’?” Kuang Zhou Knight was surprised. “Why are you looking for him? He’s a handful. Although he’s not as terrific as those universe overlords of special life forms, he’s still very difficult to deal with.”
“No need to be concerned about that,” said Luo Feng. “Please just do me this favor. Once you get his information, tell me.”
“Of course.” Kuang Zhou Knight nodded.
“Haha! Thank you so much. Let’s drink.”
Luo Feng raised his wine glass, but it was the mind of his boundless Remote Ocean that went into the virtual universe, which was why he looked so relaxed. He was talking to Kuang Zhou Knight about what happened on the original stars, and a lot had happened in the past 20,000 years.
As Luo Feng and Kuang Zhou Knight were drinking, they heard a yell of exasperation.
“Ganwu! I’m not pushing you, but I was just revived by a universe master because I got killed on the original stars! You know that I needed to pay a price to be revived… After being resurrected, I’ve owed our race 1.3 true treasure points! I can’t fulfill it even if I devoted all I had to our race. I didn’t force you to give me back the valuables you owe me, but now!”
Many universe knights looked to where the fight came from. So did Luo Feng and Kuang Zhou Knight.
“Huh?” Luo Feng frowned.
There were two great beings sitting in a corner. One of them was a universe knight with purple skin and silver hair, who was accusing in anger. The other was Ganwu Universe Country Master. Ganwu Universe Country Maser looked embarrassed and blocked their conversation from the surroundings, seeking to placate him.
The universe knight destroyed the blocking and yelled, “Why are you blocking us from others? Ganwu, we’ve been friends for hundreds of millions of years! I know that you’ve had a hard time yourself, which is why I’ve never asked for what you owe me back. But look at me now! How can you still delay the payback?”
Ganwu Universe Country Master sat there with his face in his palm. The universe knight lowered his voice gradually.
“What happened?” Luo Feng said with a frown.
“It’s because of the resurrection!” exclaimed Kuang Zhou Knight, shaking his head. “It’s against the universe operation law to turn back time and revive someone, which is why even universe masters will get hurt if they do it. That universe knight, Mei Hua Knight, died on the original stars and was revived, after which he owed our race 1.3 true treasure points. That’s worthy an ordinary true treasure. Ordinary universe knights could only pay them back by devoting an eternity. As for Ganwu Universe Country Master, his situation is even worse than Mei Hua Knight’s.”
“Worse?” Luo Feng frowned.
“Yes,” Kuang Zhou Knight said. “All 1008 universe country masters are ancient universe knights.”
Luo Feng nodded. After the 1,008th universe country was found, no more universe countries were founded within the human race, the main reason being that there weren’t enough territories. Apparently, those who could become universe country masters were all ancient.
“The longer you live, the less potential you have.” Kuang Zhou Knight shook his head and sighed. “Ganwu Universe Country Master died three times, and every time after he died, he was successfully resurrected. However, it cost him dearly to be revived. One time, he died on one of the original stars and lost all the true treasures he borrowed. As for the other two times, he lost some set treasures.”
Luo Feng sighed in his heart. It was true; when you died, you lost your true treasures.
“What’s worse is that those who lent him true treasures came after him after he was revived,” Kuang Zhou Knight continued. “He can pay the race back slowly without being pressured, but as for that which he owes to other great beings… They are continuously demanded payback. After all, it’s not easy for other great beings to have a true treasure. After being resurrected three times, he not only owes six universe knights, but he also owes our race. It’s almost impossible for him to turn things around unless his power surges and he becomes a universe overlord. However, that hasn’t happened even after billions of years of practice.”
“Actually,” continued Kuang Zhou Knight, “those universe country masters won’t dare to go to dangerous places like original stars even if they have the clone talent. Unless they have power or ambitions, that is. Ganwu Universe Country Master has been staying inside his universe country for a long time to train himself, and he also cultivates generations of juniors, which is another way to earn contribution points. Although it’s extremely slow, it’s safe. Sometimes, he’ll also go to the universe secret regions without much danger. It’s unlucky that he has fallen so low. However, he’s also fortunate enough to be with us humans, as we have universe masters to resurrect him. If he was part of a weaker race, he would be dead forever.”
Luo Feng turned around. Ganwu Universe Country Master was conversing with Mei Hua Knight, and Ganwu was trying to appease Mei Hua Knight.
