Chapter 1136: Earth Branch
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
100,000 years later, what would Earth be like?
Long grass would be all about. Amidst all the greenery that embellished the surroundings, there were numerous residential buildings of unique structures. Birds were often seen flying in the sky, which was a deep azure blue. The air would be fresh, and if the standards of human domain were to be applied, then Earth would be categorized as a top-tier SSS-grade life planet of the highest standard.
Nature and technology would have achieved perfect harmony. There would be many people—men and women alike—walking along the streets, dressed either in their training gear or just casual clothes. There would not be any public transportation like cars on the roads, and the underground tunnels that connected Earth to the various cities around would be advancing at a speed of 18,000 miles, a speed that allowed the people to arrive at other cities with much ease.
Of course, allowing several large continents to stretch across the seabed to form tunnels would also be possible because of Luo Feng’s authority.
“Earth would be entirely different,” Luo Feng gasped in admiration.
Xu Xin smiled and replied, “It will be even more different in the future.”
They walked along the street as a couple, looking just like any other ordinary husband and wife. The other people could not tell the difference at all. Actually, even if one had seen Luo Feng, their memories of him would vanish immediately in the blink of an eye. There was no way they could remember anything about him.
Luo Feng observed everything around him carefully. Earlier on, he had sent Remote Ocean body to garrison Earth. Yet Remote Ocean body merely sat cross-legged in silence, in a quiet room deep within the Luo’s family house. He would only make an appearance if a crucial situation occurred. Except for the other two times when Luo Feng had to accompany his family, Remote Ocean body did not make any move at all.
“Xu Xin, I realized that Star Traveler levels are frequently seen here,” said Luo Feng. “I saw many along the way.” He could not hold it back longer, so he asked, “Are Star Traveler levels that common?”
“Over 10,000 years, Earth would not have been able to develop so fast where the majority were star traveler levels.” Xu Xin shook her head. “Oh well. The mysteries of Earth are top secrets, though they were never disclosed. However, large families of the top five powers like the Virtual Universe Company, the Huge Axe Dojo, and the Universe Mercenary Alliance were all finding ways to enter Earth! You should have figured this out by now. The right to reside on Earth is in hot demand now.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“Previously, immigrants of the Earth’s ocean would be aliens, while those on land would be us earthlings,” Xu Xin said, “Over 10,000 years of development, earthlings are now scattered all over the Ganwu universe, and even in other universes. The numbers are immeasurable.”
Luo Feng smiled and nodded. “In the past, the earthling population has never been able to achieve a breakthrough. That was because there was a limitation of land. With the limitation lifted, there was a large quantity of grains as provisions… If there was a rapid multiplication of earthling population thereafter, it would be understandable.”
“Hmm,” said Xu Xin said. “Just like that, the earthling population has multiplied to such a massive number that it might be incomparable. Putting others aside, just the number of people in our Luo Family is intimidating enough.”
Luo Feng nodded. The population in Luo Family had long exceeded the size of one starfield. No matter how development progressed, to increase the population size by 100 million times in 5,000 years was normal, but for a development that had progressed for more than 100,000 years… the population size would be so massive that it sounded exaggerated. Regardless of how much power the Luo Family had, their massive size would still go under the influence of territorial limitations; therefore many members of the Luo Family had to settle down on other planets or even in other universes.
If the massive Luo Family would face such a situation, what would the overall situation on Earth look like?”
At the Earth Management Association level, making use of the virtual universe would still be impossible to create identification records of every earthling. After all, in the vast universe, if unfortunate events like air crashes happen and earthlings were caught and enslaved by mineral planets, in a place where the population was so immense that it was impossible to keep track, the Earth Management Association would not be able to cover everything—or everyone—comprehensively.
“The population is too big,” Xu Xin said. “Now we have to authenticate all the earthlings’ identities. Firstly, identity registration! More than 99 percent have been documented. Secondly, gene authentication. The earthling branch of the family has a unique kind of gene that is very different from the other races among humanity. On Earth, land domain must be occupied by earthling residents. If it were occupied by the other races, no matter how powerful or wealthy they were, they would not be granted the right of abode.
“Time passed… and the right to reside on Earth is in hot demand now. There are some residents on Earth who yearn for a more luxurious life. Therefore, they sold off their rights of abode and left Earth for another life planet. Maybe this was how some became planet horde leaders. Because the right to reside on the land on Earth can only be traded between earthlings, the price was not as exaggerated as the value that alien immigrants had set. But it was nonetheless extremely high. Wanting to become a planet horde leader, wanting a life with illimitable luxuries, or wanting to become a great being with the ability to purchase great quantities of resources… The bottom line is, the right to reside on land on Earth is continually being traded, as there are some Earth elites with status and power who were continually entering Earth.
“There will be changes from generation to generation. Those who are able to enter Earth are all the cream of the crop. They have roamed the universe and established their business empires, or have become great fighters or great spirit readers. Therefore, more than half of our elites from the trillions of people of our entire Earth branch are gathered here on Earth.”
Xu Xin smiled. “Which was why, on Earth, star traveler levels are frequently seen, even star levels to universe levels can often be seen. There are also quite a few undying beings living here on Earth.”
Luo Feng sighed and nodded. The undying spirit… It was true that with enough cultivation, the chances of becoming a great being would increase. Now, the earthling branch had a total of 11 undying spirits (including Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God). Five were staying on Earth! The number of sector lords was even bigger. With such might and power, it was no wonder universe masters of the five major factions of humanity thought so highly of Earth.
“The right of abode on Earth’s land can be freely traded as one pleases?” Luo Feng asked.
“So long as it is a transaction between an earthling and Earth, free trading is the best option” Xu Xin shook her head. “One end is willing to buy, and the other end is willing to sell! Who can stop them? This would help our Earth branch’s holy ground to continue rising up the ranks. After all, this is where over half the elites from the Earth branch are gathered. But earthlings of high status and with strong powers would all want their future generations to get stronger, even if those Earthlings were already used to living on other planets. But for their younger generations, they would purchase the right of abode on Earth and send two to three family members over to stay here on Earth. It can also be said this way. Earth is where more than 50 percent of elites of the earthling branch are gathered; out of the first million Earth elites, 99 percent of them hold the right of abode on Earth.”
Luo Feng nodded. This was good, too… The longer they took, the higher the status of the holy ground, “Earth,” would be. It had only been over 100,000 years of developing since the earthling branch became a universe. There were many aspects of it that were yet to be considered extremely powerful, like the number of great beings, the power of its associations, and many more. As time passed, elites of this branch would gradually emerge into prominence.
According to what the higher-ups of humanity calculated, the earthling branch’s continual development would be comparable to at least ten percent of humanity! How many undying spirits would that be? How many universe knights? Clearly, the potential of the earthling branch had just emerged and had yet to be fully unleashed. This unleashing of potential… would need enough time.
“The greatest difficulty now is that the outstanding youths of our earthling branch are unable to receive the best cultivation they could get,” Xu Xin said. “Based on the data we retrieved from the alien immigrants, once a wife gets pregnant, she should enter Earth within the first three months of pregnancy. If the entire process from the gestation period of the fetus to the day the baby is born happens under the influence of Earth’s environment, then there is bound to be a transformation. Therefore, it is crucial to rush to Earth during the first three months of pregnancy. Any later than that, and the effect will be very different.
“Our Earth Management Association manages a large number of Earthling youths, cultivating them with great care, then singling out the cream of the crop for deeper cultivation. We have wealth. But teaching them required a great deal of resources—for instance, a good teacher and a conducive environment for them to train in. Our family alone is insufficient. What we have come up with so far is nothing compared to the cultivation mechanism of the Ganwu universe. This has, to a certain degree, affected the rising of the earthling branch.”
Luo Feng nodded and considered for a while. “I will make arrangements as quickly as I can,” he Luo Feng.
Cultivation was very important. Like Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God, if they had not stepped off Earth and advanced into the universe… if Luo Feng had not received Yun Mo Star Master’s treasure and Babata’s guidance, then naturally Golden Horned Beast would be gloriously sacrificed. The three of them would obviously be greatly limited, and the chances of attaining the universe level would also have been very low. Yet the moment they received cultivation… All three each displayed a dazzling light and were completely different right away.
And if the earthling branch wanted to rise up to recognition, cultivating the new and younger generations was obviously crucial.
“The mechanism that other universe masters used to cultivate their younger generations is highly matured,” said Luo Feng. I shall take some reference from them and then make use of my own resources to establish my own mechanism. That should do.” Luo Feng nodded to himself. “Humanity has many places for cultivating their kind. The only problem is that even universe knights are not qualified to arrange for a large batch of members to undergo training simultaneously.”
But a universe master could!
For instance, sending their family members to Blood River World, or some other places… Of course, Luo Feng also needed to pay a small price for it, but to him, it was a piece of cake.
After the alien immigrants’ major move out of Earth, Earth started to undergo transformation once again. Making use of marine resources, re-coordinating ocean and land, the natural order was enhanced to nearing perfection.
Also, some restructuring was done to the numerous floating cities that were once occupied by alien immigrants to make them more suited for earthlings to live in. The floating cities were normally a few hundred stories to 1,000 stories high. If residing on land was said to be done using one or two stories of land, then on a floating city of an alien immigrant, it would be considered a highly effective use of space!
Adding up the surface area of the vast oceans, the total would come to a much greater amount compared to that of land. Although the distance between floating cities was vast, when all the floating cities suspended in the skies above the vast oceans like the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean were put together, the amount of space could accommodate a few hundred billion people.
“This will be able to accommodate a few hundred billion of people. We can then allow many young earthling mothers-to-be to quickly enter Earth. We should also try our best to get them to arrive here on Earth within the first three months of pregnancy. Earthlings who were born on Earth… their cultivability is much stronger. On the other hand, for earthlings born on extraterrestrial planets, the chances of producing great beings are worrying because they are much too low.”
Various plans were speedily formulated. Then, one by one, they were implemented.
The first thing Luo Feng did when he returned to Earth was to make use of his power to start boosting the development of the Earth branch! He made a perfect combination out of his resources and the race’s resources, which then sped up the rate of development of the earthling branch tremendously. He believed that soon, it would not be wishful thinking for the earthling branch to want to be stronger than the Yan Shen race branch.
“If the earthling branch can have some universe knights and a large number of undying spirits and go on to see the emergence of a universe master, that would be even greater.”
Luo Feng secretly looked forward to this. However, it would require a long time.
