"5,000 years!" Pu Ti's voice was old and filled with worry.
He had never expected the process to take over 5,000 years. The first two had only lasted 2,600 and 3,300 years respectively.
"Let's hope that Luo Feng succeeds." Pu Ti heaved a long sigh, his voice resounding throughout the shrine.
…
Virtual universe, Black Dragon Mountain, Nine star bay.
Within an ancient construct.
Nine star bay was now used only by the highest levels of Luo Feng's family, as the many other members all lived in other places. As a family with over 10,000 years of history, plus with Luo Feng's status being akin to the Ganwu universe country leader, the family's power was huge.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
Walking along the exquisite stone floor, Xu Xin walked along the pathway followed by two ladies. As Luo Feng, the highest power in the family was exploring the universe, everything was mostly left to his oldest son Luo Ping to handle, however the important matters were still handled by Xu Xin.
Xu Xin had a special position in the family, and also she was the CEO of the Ping Hai company. Over the 10,000 years, her position and authority grew, just a glance from her would make others shudder.
Normal people didn't even dare look up at her.
However, there always seemed to be a sense of worry on her face.
"Master, it's a letter from the family leader." Her virtual assistant suddenly alerted her.
"Mail?"
She suddenly stopped, her eyes happy from the surprise. No matter how calm she was, she was in a flurry now, "He said he was off to do something important, closing off the virtual universe receiver. However, he completely vanished for 6,000 years, and was unable to be found or contacted. How can I not worry?"
In the world of warriors, disappearing for 6,000 years without any news, it could very likely mean one had fallen.
Luckily he had left messages for his family before he shut off his receiver.
"The wife seems very happy."
"I've never seen her so happy."
"She's been deep in worry the past few years. Now however, she seems much lighter than before." The two ladies behind discussed secretly.
Indeed so, Xu Xin was happily reading the mail.
"He really knows how to say the right things." She read the mail, her smile growing wider, "Even the events from high school, we are already an old couple, is there a need for all these…"
The mail was very long.
A total of tens of thousands of words, Xu Xin had walked from the pathway to the grass and sat in a chair to slowly read through. This was a mail filled with emotions, from the time the two met to the time they fell in love…Xu Xin couldn't help but smile as she read.
As she read on…suddenly her expression changed.
Her body shivered as her eyes revealed shock.
"No!"
"No!"
She stood up fiercely, roaring within, tears about to flow down, "I don't want your guilt, no!!!"
This shocked the two ladies behind her, they exchanged glances and felt something amiss.
"Ma! Ma!"
An urgent shout resounded from afar as a silhouette swiftly rushed over and another from another side. They were Luo Ping and Luo Hai, they both had anxious expressions, shouting for her as they arrived. They too had received mails.
"Close the door, forbid anyone from entering." Xu Xin shouted at the two ladies.
"Yes."
The two ladies were her personal staff. Whether it was matters with Ping Hai company or family affairs, Xu Xin often gave her orders through them. Even though they were just her staff, their position was akin to high level managers of the family, naturally they were incredibly astute and intelligent. When they sensed something amiss, they immediately shut off the doors.
"Ma, what's going on?"
"Has dad really…" Luo Ping and Luo Hai were both anxious.
Xu Xin hugged her two sons, finding it hard to hold back her tears.
This mail was something Luo Feng had actually set to send 6,000 years after he began the life or death inheritance. According to his thinking back then…the first candidate lasted 2,600 years and the second one lasted 3,300 years. He expected the entire process to only last at most 4,000 years.
It was too long, absurdly long. The two had passed the hidden tests before and had finally gone for the life or death inheritance. They were obviously both exceptional beings too, they shouldn't have been too far from the end.
Luo Feng had expected 6,000 years!
"Since the first lasted 2,600 and the entire process should be about 4,000 years. It wouldn't be so absurd as to go on for 6,000 years right, who could last that long?"
"If I succeed in this, I'll get rid of the mail."
"If I fail, at least they will have something."
"Afterall, the moment I fall…the connection to the virtual universe has been shut and the primal chaos city leader wouldn't know about me falling. With his level of being, his training may go on for hundreds of millions of years at a time, who knows when he would actually revive me. And Xu Xin's life span is at most 10 million years."
Luo Feng was very worried.
He believed…that even if he fell, he would eventually be revived by his teacher. However, what if he was only revived after ten million years?
What about his wife?
After his revival, what if his wife, son, parents and younger brother were all dead?
Hence…
He prepared a mail for them and set it to send automatically 6,000 years from when he began.
"Your father is in a predicament, but he did say he would return in the future. If short, ten thousand years, if long up to ten million years…" Xu Xin's voice shook, right, ten million years, her life span was but that long, would she see him again?
"Dad."
"Dad." Luo Ping and Luo Hai were shocked too.
"Let's go see your grandparents." Xu Xin suppressed the pain and said.
…
After awhile, the three of them met up with Luo Hong Guo and Gong Xin Lan, along with Luo Hua, they all bore a look of pain. The entire Luo Family…was supported by Luo Feng! The humans of earth were the same! He had always been there, weathering the storms and allowing them to grow to such strength, allowing the humans of earth to stand high in the entire Gan Wu universe country.
However…the pillar had fallen!
"Little Feng, little Feng." Gong Xin Lan was shaking. Even though Luo Feng said he would return in the distant future, the family all regarded this as words to console them.
"Our Luo family, our earth, is facing a huge crisis." Xu Xin's voice was hoarse.
Everyone looked at her.
"The account number and password he left in the mail is for some wealth for the Luo family. It's one with a huge amount of wealth within." Xu Xin said, she hadn't seen him in so long. She didn't expect for him to leave an account in the mail, reaching up to 50 billion mixed elements!
This was an unbelievable sum to her. Within the entire Gan wu universe country, other than the leader himself, who would have such wealth?
"Everybody hurry and get ready to deal with this." She said hoarsely. "The hypocrisy of the world, if Luo Feng truly fell, our family would definitely be targeted. We don't have enough strength to protect the entire huge family. I'm heading immediately to see his teacher True Yan and ask about him."
"Hurry and go."
"Go, leave the family to us."
Luo Hong Guo and Luo Hua said.
"Hm." She nodded.
******
Xu xin was afterall a core member of the Virtual Universe Company. With her connections and her having True Yan's number from a long time ago, she quickly contacted him and told him what happened.
"What?"
"Return in the distant future?" True Yan's expression changed.
Unlike Xu Xin and the others, True Yan was an absolute warrior of the universe. He knew much more, he immediately understood…Luo Feng's distant future meant he would be revived. Otherwise with the virtual universe network spreading all over the vast universe, how could they not be able to contact him?
"I'm going to see the Primal chaos city leader." True Yan said urgently.
"Sorry to trouble you." Xu Xin said anxiously.
"I am his teacher!" True Yan immediately left the virtual universe network.
…
Primal chaos city, True Yan immediately rushed to the city leader's residence to request a visit.
What level of being was the city leader? Even True Yan had almost no possibility of ever seeing his true body, unless there were extenuating circumstances, this time…True Yan saw him.
"You say that he might have fallen?" The city leader sat crossed legged across the vast wasteland of corpses.
"Yes." True Yan said respectfully.
"He's still alive." The city leader said.
"Alive?" True Yan was shocked.
"I can confirm that he's been in the seventh battlefield's star tower, and he's been there the past 6,000 years." The city leader said. "He hasn't connected to the network for the past 6,000 years, but I can confirm his life energy is still there. At most, he should be in some trouble. It's normal for danger to appear within star tower."
True Yan was somewhat nervous when he heard, that was the star tower!
On the surface, the tower only had forbidden guards in spaces. However in truth, it had many dangers about, one had to know that it was a place that even universe masters didn't dare mess about within.
*******
Star tower.
Within the shrine surrounded by countless sealed stars, the floor was stained in a layer of blood. Luo Feng sat there, his body shivering from the pain, as blood flowing all around. The sector lord body's regeneration was incredibly strong, the main core could give never ending energy to recover, yet he kept bleeding…
His body was about to crumble everywhere, this was the result of intense pain from the soul. It was obvious that the pain from his soul was absurd!
"6,000 years!"
"5,000 years ago, he was already close to his limit, and at 5,600 years, he had completely reached his limit already. He was able to evolve at the critical moment last time, I don't believe that he can be so lucky this time. However from the 5,600 year to the 6,000 year…it's been 400 years, just what amount of strength does he have!"
Pu Ti sat crossed legged and looked at Luo feng shocked, he couldn't imagine how he could still hold on even after reaching his limit 400 years ago.
…
The pain on his soul had already reached its limit, and he had no way to suppress it anymore. Luo Feng couldn't study the Beast god path anymore, and his consciousness was simply holding on by a thread…withstanding the tearing of his soul.
"I want to see you all again!"
"You all!"
"You all…"
Luo Feng's consciousness held on to one single thing, that was his family. His parents and brother, his wife, he didn't want to be revived to a time where they were all gone. He couldn't accept that. At the final point, his heart only held that one thought…his family!
"I wish!"
"I really wish!"
…
His soul began to crumble, however a formless willpower forced it back together. Crumble…form…amidst the struggle, his only thought held him together, within he called out to his family. He was guilty, he couldn't bear to…that crystal however continued to meld and tear his soul apart…
His soul was about to crumble!
"I really wish…"
"You all…"
