Chapter 260 The Fate of Earth Has Settled
The two sides, who were just shocked by the terrifying aura unleashed by the Candle King, suddenly felt that everything was suppressed.
An even more terrifying force has descended.
"Father!" the Demon Candle King suddenly turned and called out, drawing everyone's attention in one direction.
In the distant starry sky, a towering figure stood, the light around him distorted and blurred, and towering black flames burned, radiating for millions of kilometers.
In this flame, any planet would likely be instantly reduced to ashes, and even outer space would be incinerated into a stream of particles under its power.
It was as if this person was the master of this starry sky!
It was none other than Venerable Erosion Fire.
"The Venerable Fiery Erosion, a World Lord-level being, was able to annihilate a Marquis-level Immortal, and upon becoming an Immortal himself, was directly granted the title of King. Although he is not as powerful as our current elder brother, he is still an incomparably dazzling genius among the human race throughout countless eras—"
Luo Feng thought to himself.
The Fire Venerable of today is no longer just a genius, but has grown into a true powerhouse!
"Greetings, Venerable Fiery Erosion!"
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
"Paying respects to the teacher—"
"Greetings to Venerable Fiery Erosion."
Luo Feng, Dylan, Bloodthirsty King, Ye Yang, and the group of immortals who had been granted titles of Marquis and King brought by Demon Candle King all bowed in respect.
This is a sign of respect for the strong.
"Father!" The vertical eye between the Demon Candle King's brows slowly closed, pointing at Ye Yang: "Now that 'Earth' is within Ye Yang's inner world, but it still belongs to Luo Feng, so as long as—"
"Hmph." The cold snort seemed to strike the hearts of everyone present.
The Venerable One's dissatisfaction made everyone uneasy.
"That's really embarrassing."
Venerable Fire Erosion only said one sentence and then didn't say anything more to King Candle, probably because there were some things he couldn't say.
Venerable Fire Eclipse didn't even look at the others. He first looked at Ye Yang and Luo Feng, and his tone suddenly changed, becoming gentle and friendly: "Ye Yang, Luo Feng, hello."
This sudden change not only startled the Bloodthirsty One beside him, but also made the Candle King and the other immortals stare in disbelief.
Why is Venerable Fire Erosion speaking so politely?
"Greetings, Venerable One." Ye Yang nodded.
Luo Feng nodded repeatedly and said, "Greetings, Venerable One."
"Hmm." Venerable Fire Eclipse smiled and said, "I originally sent my son to discuss the sale of Earth's ownership with you, Luo Feng, but I never expected my good-for-nothing son to cause such a mess."
"Father—" The Demon Candle King wanted to say something, but was silenced by the Fire Erosion Venerable's "Shut up."
Venerable Fiery continued to look at Ye Yang and Luo Feng: "I want to buy all ownership of this Earth. What conditions do you want? Just tell me."
Ye Yang and Luo Feng exchanged a glance, and Ye Yang said, "As early as 300 years ago, Earth had already become Luo Feng's territory. You should ask Luo Feng for his opinion on this matter, Venerable One."
Luo Feng then added, "Venerable One, Earth is my home, and the home of my entire race of Earthlings. Under no circumstances will I sell it!"
Ye Yang had already informed him beforehand, so Luo Feng's tone was very firm.
If all else fails, Ye Yang can directly ask the Lord of Chaos City to intervene.
In short, it's best to handle things yourself until the very last minute. Even in the worst-case scenario, there's always the Virtual Universe Company to back you up.
Venerable Fire Eclipse nodded slightly after hearing Luo Feng's words: "Since it is the birthplace of your Earthling race, it is indeed very important. I will not force you."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Yang beside him.
Then he turned to look at the Candle King: "Candle."
This startled the Demon Candle King. Normally, the Fire Erosion Venerable would call him by his name, only calling him "Demon Candle" when he was unhappy.
"I only asked you to buy all ownership of Earth, and you got into a conflict with them. Not only that, you even brought a bunch of kings to bully a realm lord! You've completely disgraced me!"
A hint of anger could be detected in the voice of the Venerable Fiery Erosion:
"It seems I've been too lenient with you and haven't disciplined you enough. Now, I'm punishing you by making you serve 2000 epochs in the Ninth Star Prison!"
"Father!" The Demon Candle King's eyes widened, never expecting this outcome.
What do you mean by a group of kings bullying a realm lord? If they didn't have so many people on their side, he would have been completely overwhelmed by a realm lord!
The immortals around the Demon Candle King also stared wide-eyed. The Fire Erosion Venerable had always doted on the Demon Candle King, and this punishment was unprecedented.
This shows how serious the matter is. However, punishing the Demon Candle King in this way is indeed giving Ye Yang a lot of face.
After all, Venerable Fire Eclipse was also a disciple of a great universe master, and he was not afraid of Ye Yang's background.
A genius is just a genius until he realizes his potential. Even though Ye Yang now has the strength to rival a king, there is still a world of difference between him and a cosmic venerable.
Even if Venerable Fiery Strike lifted the Demon Candle King with great force and then gently put him down, Ye Yang was powerless to stop it. However, Venerable Fiery Strike still showed some leniency by imposing an unprecedented punishment.
"You all should go back now," Venerable Fiery said to the remaining immortals.
Then he looked at Ye Yang and Luo Feng, especially Ye Yang: "Can you release my son's four men? I'm willing to pay 1 billion Hunyuan as ransom."
Generally, the assets of a Marquis at the peak of his career are around 100 million Hunyuan, while the assets of a King of Immortality are around 1 billion.
It was clearly not worth it for Venerable Fiery to use 1 billion Chaos Yuan to redeem four Immortal Marquises whose divine bodies had been severely injured and forced into a deep sleep.
But doing this clearly serves two purposes: firstly, to provide Ye Yang with a small compensation as a form of appeasement.
On the other hand, it was to buy bones for his son, the daughter of the Candle King, otherwise it would discourage his subordinates!
Although being granted the title of Marquis Immortal is insignificant to Venerable Fire Erosion, those who have been granted the title of King Immortal are also watching, and as a Venerable, he cannot be too stingy.
"Haha, Venerable One, you're too kind. Here, these four are yours." Ye Yang didn't delay and directly returned the four heavily injured and sleeping Marquis Immortals.
Then, the Golden Waterfall King swept everyone else away in an instant.
Venerable Fire Eclipse glanced at the Demon Candle King beside him and shook his head: "Come with me."
The father and son were enveloped in black flames and vanished into the starry sky in an instant.
At this moment, only Ye Yang, Luo Feng, Ming Zhao, Dylan, and Bloodthirsty King remained in the silent space.
"Pfft, now that things are over, I won't linger any longer." The Bloodthirsty King said to Luo Feng, then smiled at Ye Yang, and his figure vanished instantly.
"Call one by one"
With the matter resolved, Luo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Yang, however, entered the virtual universe to report the results to the Lord of Chaos City.
After learning about the incident from Luo Feng, Ye Yang immediately contacted the Lord of Chaos City as soon as he ended the Taobao event.
As one of the most powerful beings in the human race, for an existence like the Lord of Chaos City, it doesn't matter whether Earth is controlled by humans.
It doesn't matter whether it's another human race or not.
As long as it is under human control, can be used by the human race, and is beneficial to the race.
Those who truly want to seize Earth and claim its benefits for themselves are the cosmic venerables below.
Moreover, most of the Venerables who know this news are from the Giant Axe Arena. The Undying Venerable and the Fiery Venerable are both from the Giant Axe Arena. "Teacher, that's how things went." Ye Yang respectfully finished speaking and stood quietly waiting for the Chaos City Lord's final decision.
Ye Yang was an Earthling in another world in his previous life. After being reborn into the world of the Star Alliance, he knew that there was also an Earth there, but millions of years had passed and the entire Milky Way had been developed.
Everything was completely transformed.
On the contrary, Ye Yang felt more at ease with the Earth that devoured the world, even after hundreds of years of transformation.
It would be best to keep those aliens out of the way.
"I already know." The Lord of Chaos City said with a slight smile.
He originally thought that Ye Yang's current combat strength was at most comparable to the peak of the Marquis level, and that approaching the initial level of the King level was already the limit.
Unexpectedly, this young disciple gave him a pleasant surprise.
"Here's what we'll do: you ask Luo Feng to transfer a continent to you as the ancestral land of your 'Minghong Three Clans'."
The Lord of Chaos City said, "The three bloodlines you separated are all top-tier, powerful bloodlines among the human race."
"In this way, no one will pressure you under the guise of the overall interests of the race anymore. After all, you've placed the genealogies of all three races under Earthlings, so no one can say that Earthlings have inferior bloodlines or are wasting resources."
"And since Earth originally belonged to Luo Feng's territory, those people below have no excuse."
The Lord of Chaos City offered a feasible solution in just a few words, and Ye Yang immediately bowed in gratitude.
This plan seems good—but when faced with pressure from those Venerable Ones, it's nothing without the support of the Chaos City Lord.
"Regarding this incident, I will contact and arrange for all those involved to be unable to leave human territory for ten epochs and to be under close surveillance." The Chaos City Lord added, "The information you revealed in this battle will not be disclosed in the short term."
"But when you are out there training, you must also be careful to keep your identity secret. Try not to let your Golden Horned Beast clone and your human clone act at the same time and place, so as not to arouse suspicion."
Ye Yang nodded repeatedly: "This disciple will remember."
In reality, in the solar system, Ye Yang flew to the vicinity of Earth's original orbit, observed, searched, and then, after a few flashes, retrieved the moon, which had been flung away to an unknown location after Earth's gravity disappeared.
Then, based on centuries of recorded data on the orbits of the planets in the solar system, he put the Earth and the Moon back in their original positions, restoring their orbits and velocities.
Ye Yang can now easily capture stars and the moon, and manipulate planets.
As for the other celestial bodies in the solar system, the impact will be very minor, allowing Earthlings to use space technology to gradually correct their orbits in the future.
"That's it." Ye Yang clapped his hands after finishing.
Luo Feng, standing nearby, couldn't stop spitting out, "Big brother, your skills are making me want to break through to the World Lord level right now!"
Ye Yang smiled and said, "There's a 30 billion points reward for clearing the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which is at the Domain Lord level. You should be able to do it, so don't miss it."
Luo Feng nodded.
Just then, Hong's email arrived.
The two entered the virtual universe, where both Hong and Thor were present.
The four chatted briefly before getting to the topic of Earth.
"Now that things have basically settled down, with the teacher's support, Earth will always belong to Earthlings," Ye Yang said with a smile.
At this moment, Hong recounted his experiences, and everyone finally understood why a large group of powerful beings had suddenly set their sights on this small planet.
