As Lin Feng hovered in the sky, the emerald vortex of his sword intent began to tremble under the pressure of a far greater power. Suddenly, the void above the Zhao estate tore open, and a torrent of digital light and complex code invaded the physical world,
coalescing into the towering, majestic projection of Goddess Nexus, the super-intelligence of the Human Federation. With her arrival, a shimmering barrier instantly sealed off the ruins of the Zhao estate from the rest of Solar City, placing the area under absolute divine lockdown.
Nexus looked down at Lin Feng with eyes that processed billions of data points per second, her voice echoing with a cold, synthesized authority,
"Lin Feng, Core Disciple of the Eternal Sect. I initially descended to manifest punishment for the unauthorized destruction of a 9th-tier sect within the Red Lotus Galaxy. However, my sensors have detected the foul traces of the Nether Bat Clan. This family was an afflicted cell of the extraterrestrial race."
The air hummed as Nexus began a deep-layer scan of the rubble, her holographic light piercing through the charred stones and hidden chambers.
"Scanning the Zhao estate... searching for encrypted data... Information detected," she announced. A map of the Amedra Star Field flickered into existence in the sky.
"The 6th-rank Lotus Cleaving Sect of Amedra Star 1 is the hidden master behind the Zhao family. Sending messages to the High General of the Human Federation... Message complete. The nearest Federation Fleet has entered the Amedra Star Field."
In a terrifying display of the Federation's efficiency, a countdown began to echo across the void, marking the final seconds of the traitorous sect light-years away. As the counter hit zero, Nexus confirmed the total annihilation of the Lotus Cleaving Sect, erasing the 6th-tier threat from the galaxy in a matter of moments.
After a few minutes of processing, the coldness in Nexus's expression softened into a gentle smile as she looked back at the young sword cultivator.
"You are the second person from your sect to eliminate a 6th-tier threat to humanity," she noted, her tone filled with rare approval.
"The Human Federation is indebted to you. Lin Feng, Core Disciple of the Eternal Sect, by the power bestowed upon me, I hereby announce you a 7th-tier Citizen of the Human Federation. Your formal rewards and privileges will be dispatched soon."
With those words, a shimmering jade token materialized in the air, bearing the prestigious insignia of the Federation on one side and the rank of "7th-tier Citizen" on the other, before drifting gently into Lin Feng's hands.
Lin Feng felt a surge of pure, overwhelming joy that rivaled the high of his breakthrough. He had merely intended to clear an obstacle and protect his sect's honor, but the discovery of the extraterrestrial plot had catapulted his status to heights he never dared to dream of.
To become a 7th-tier citizen was to hold more political weight than many kings in the Western Region. As the projection of Goddess Nexus vanished into a shower of golden particles, the silence of the night returned.
Lin Feng didn't waste a moment; he moved like a phantom through the ruins, efficiently collecting every remaining treasure and spirit pouch left by the high-ranking members of the Zhao family before vanishing into the shadows of the city, leaving behind only an empty, smoldering crater where a powerhouse once stood.
The Solar King, a powerhouse at the Void Refinement Level 3, arrived at the site of the Zhao estate alongside his most formidable general and his daughter,
the Princess in red. Expecting to find a battlefield, they were instead greeted by a harrowing scene of absolute desolation—a smoldering crater where one of the city's pillars had once stood.
Seeking answers, the King immediately attempted to access the Nexus Net to pull the official incident logs, but his heart nearly stopped when his clearance was rejected. The screen flashed a high-level encryption warning: the details were locked because a 7th-tier Citizen of the Human Federation was the primary actor in the case.
His face grew incredibly solemn; he knew that while the leaders of 7th-tier sects at the pinnacle of mortal cultivation—the Tribulation Transcendence realm—held 7th-tier titles, they were usually only "Registered" citizens. To be a "Verified" citizen by Goddess Nexus herself represented a gap in status as vast as the heavens, implying the youth in white was a figure of terrifying political and celestial importance.
While her father stood paralyzed by the weight of this revelation, the Princess in red stared into the ashes, her mind racing back to the Pavilion. She remembered the indifferent gaze and the sharp, elegant aura of the boy in white who had outbid Zhao Yan without blinking an eye
. A seed of suspicion took root in her heart; she was certain that this "Lin Feng" was the key to everything, yet he didn't fit the mold of a typical ancient monster in a young man's body. Sensing the immense danger and the potential opportunity,
she decided to keep her thoughts hidden from her father for now. Rather than causing a diplomatic catastrophe by involving the Royal Army, she resolved to begin her own secret investigation, determined to uncover the true identity of the disciple from the Eternal Sect who had single-handedly rewritten the power balance of the Western Region.
On the other hand ,
After securing a private room in a quiet inn far from the royal commotion, Lin Feng sat in a meditative posture, the silver butterfly pendant placed carefully beside him. The life-and-death struggle against the Zhao family and the subsequent validation from Goddess Nexus had acted as a catalyst,
loosening the bottleneck of his cultivation. Drawing upon the "ETERNAL DEVINE SUTRA," he began to refine the massive amount of spiritual energy he had absorbed during the battle. His consciousness dived deep into his soul, where his Nascent Soul sat cross-legged,
mimicking his movements. With a sudden surge of insight, the barrier of Nascent Soul Level 5 shattered like thin glass, his aura expanding and filling the room with a sharp, hum of sword intent.
The breakthrough did not stop there. Lin Feng's desire to protect his "new family" and his unknown beloved fueled a relentless momentum.
His spiritual sea transformed from a turbulent lake into a vast, roaring ocean. In quick succession, the air around him vibrated with the resonant tolling of invisible bells as he stepped into Level 6, then Level 7.
The spirit stones he had collected from the Zhao elders crumbled into dust, their pure essence fueling his ascent. By the time he reached Level 8 and pushed through to Level 9, a faint silhouette of a majestic willow tree appeared behind him, its leaves shimmering with a light that transcended the mortal realm.
Finally, as the first light of dawn touched the window, Lin Feng reached the absolute Peak of the Nascent Soul realm. The chaotic energy within him settled into a state of terrifying, condensed stillness.
He slowly opened his eyes, and for a brief second, his pupils glowed with a crystalline light that seemed to see through the very walls of the inn. He felt lighter, his connection to his sword more profound than ever before. He was no longer just a talented disciple;
he was now a powerhouse who stood at the threshold of the soul transformation realm, ready to be the shield his sect and his loved ones deserved.
Back at the Eternal Sect, the atmosphere was far more serene than the blood-soaked ruins of Solar City. Huai sat comfortably in the main hall, moving with a lazy grace as he brewed a pot of Immortal Enlightenment Tea.
The steam rising from the cup carried a fragrance that could clear the mind of a mortal and grant them a century of wisdom in a single sniff. Taking a slow, deliberate sip, Huai felt a wave of boredom wash over him.
To pass the time, he turned his attention inward, nudging the System in his mind with playful thoughts about how "efficient" and "helpful" Goddess Nexus had been to Lin Feng.
He mused aloud in his head that perhaps Nexus was the true peak of intelligence, subtly comparing the System's grumpiness to the Goddess's polite, digital charm.
The System erupted in a digital tantrum the moment the name "Nexus" was mentioned. "That glorified calculator?!"
the System roared in Huai's mind, its notification pings sounding like rapid-fire thunder. "She's a useless, bargain-bin copycat! I am a supreme existence beyond the dimensions of this federation, yet you compare me to a script-running projection?"
It launched into a long, heated rant, cursing Nexus for being "too polite" and "spiritless," while Huai only chuckled, pouring himself another cup of tea. Realizing it was being played like a fiddle and unable to win against Huai's sharp wit and relentless teasing,
the System eventually let out a final, indignant ping and went completely silent, retreating into the depths of Huai's consciousness to sulk in peace.
In another place still on the blue planet a person was wandering throughout the forbidden forest of western region .
This person was tall . Handsome as if he is the only handsome man in this world his composed demeanour, sturdy strong toned body , short deep brown hairs with wolf cut , his black obsidian eyes looked as if he is like a divine being on the blue star.
He's not from this planet at all , he came here on this planet to complete a task that his system gave him . Yes this person also has a system . But this system sometimes gave him some weird tasks .
Like practicing how to make your partner feel happy. How to make your lover laugh . And now the system even gave him a task to come to this backwater planet to come to this forest and practice a sword technique that the system gave him alone at dawn on a mountain top...
He came here but don't know why but he felt something was wrong with this task he just didn't know what was wrong .
He completely remembers that he is not from this plane , he came from the devine realm .he was a divine emperor in his previous life . But still he was betrayed and killed by his own cousin .
After he reincarnated in this plane , a system bound to him called , The most powerful training system . This system is really strong in just a few years he reached this level .
He's 18 now and the system is also bound to him for 18 years now . But the tasks are getting weird and weird. Although he reached the level of immortal king peak now he still felt something was fishy about this system.
Wuhe also has a wolf bloodline in himself in this life maybe his mother or father was a wolf . He didn't know them at all at the age of 5 they abandoned him and became the members of space pirates.
That's how he reached this realm even still hiding his realm from this plane's supreme beings .they are just ants in his eyes ...
How could a divine emperor with his whole memories intact be treated as tools by this galaxy sovereigns,they don't even know the concept of the immortal realm and the divine realm is even above that ...
He asked his system many times about the realms above the divine emperor realm but the system always said , he doesn't have enough authority to know . This time he came here on this small planet to complete the task and see what rewards system get him...
