Swallowed Star: The Sacred Eye of Duplication

After a while, Luo Feng controlled the body of the golden-horned beast and barely stood up. Seeing that Ye Yun was about to leave, Luo Feng said in a deep voice, "Ayun, go ahead and explore! Don't worry, I will definitely catch up with you in the future universe!"

Ye Yun smiled, turned around, and waved before flying into the sky, disappearing from Luo Feng's sight.

Babata blocked all detections on Earth, and a voice rang in Luo Feng's heart, "Okay, Luo Feng, stop sighing! Get familiar with the body of the golden-horned beast as soon as possible. Once you have fully mastered the control of your body and achieved a perfect fit, you should be able to accept the memory inheritance of the golden-horned beast. This is a huge treasure trove!"

Luo Feng's mind gradually calmed as he slowly adjusted to his new body. He felt that after this separation, the next time he would see Ye Yun would be in the battle of cosmic geniuses. The help and care Ye Yun had given him were etched into his heart, turning into the motivation for him to strive forward.

Ye Yun quietly returned to the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts School. Hong and Lei Shen had already received the news and were waiting in the reception room.

Hong smiled upon seeing Ye Yun return, unaware that a disaster poised to engulf Earth had just been effortlessly resolved by the man before him.

After sitting down, Ye Yun spoke directly,

"Brother Hong, do you remember what I told you? The location of Earth in the universe was covered up by a powerful figure many years ago, making it independent from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region. No one has been able to discover this place for years, allowing us to develop peacefully without interference.

But if Earth is discovered, the consequences will be unpredictable. So, I plan to report Earth's location to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, purchase this newly discovered life planet, and become its lord. That way, Earth will be under the protection of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"

Hong nodded. He understood the brutal laws of the universe—if Earth were found by space adventurers, they might enslave the entire planet. However, under the empire's protection, it would be much safer at an official level.

Ye Yun continued,

"Of course, this only provides surface-level security. It won't prevent covert forces from investigating Earth. But once I join the Qianwu Secret Realm, I can use its name as backing. With the Qianwu Universe Nation behind us, any would-be aggressors will think twice before making a move!"

Hong had no objections to Ye Yun's plans. Looking at the young man before him, he couldn't help but sigh. Without Ye Yun, Earth's development wouldn't have reached this level of stability and progress.

Thor rubbed his bald head and grinned,

"Ye Yun, you don't know when you'll be back after leaving this time, right? Now that Earth's development is on track, Brother Hong and I want to venture into the universe too!"

Ye Yun understood Thor's intent—he clearly wanted to go with him. Shaking his head slightly, Ye Yun replied,

"Thor, with your current strength, venturing into the universe before you and Brother Hong reach the stellar level would be too dangerous! My suggestion is that you wait until you reach the stellar level and take Luo Feng with you. That way, you'll have some basic protection!

I will leave a few spaceships for you. For now, you can explore the Earth's surroundings. Once you meet the conditions I mentioned, it won't be too late to travel further!"

Ye Yun patiently gave suggestions to Hong and Thor, including joining the ranks of cosmic mercenaries or enrolling in the Qianwu Dojo. He didn't restrict their paths but simply provided possible directions. With his intervention, their development might differ from the original timeline, but at least they were starting from a much stronger position.

Just like Luo Feng, who had obtained the golden-horned beast's opportunity ahead of schedule, he would undoubtedly rise earlier, laying a more solid foundation. Even if he had lost the inheritance of Meteorite Star and the golden-horned beast's body, Luo Feng still had the potential to succeed—it would just require more effort and hardship. Ye Yun had no hesitation in helping his friend.

Finally, Ye Yun stood up, hugged Hong, and said with a smile,

"Alright, you have my virtual universe network number. Once you register your citizenship and enter the virtual universe, we can still meet there!

By the way, I've rented several large warehouses on an uninhabited planet 1.8 light-years from Earth. I'll send resources there periodically—make sure to collect them. They're all meant for Earth's development."

After bidding farewell to Hong and Thor, Ye Yun met with Wei Wen, Zhuge Tao, Gu Ye, and other acquaintances one last time before quietly boarding the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spacecraft. Breaking through the atmosphere, he entered space.

The returning spaceship had been crowded, but now, he was the only one left.

Aaron and Ahu were now cosmic-level warriors. Ye Yun had them stay on Earth to ensure the planet's continued development, preventing drastic changes due to Hong and Thor's future departure. They also served as protection—ordinary cosmic adventurers wouldn't be their match.

As Ye Yun's first group of powerful subordinates, he naturally wouldn't treat them unfairly. Every time he ordered resources, Aaron and Ahu would receive their share, and the Hu Ya Tribe members would undergo proper training.

Ye Yun valued the Hu Ya people's potential. If they interbred with humans in the future, it could accelerate humanity's bloodline evolution. However, that was a matter for later; for now, he wouldn't let them interact.

Leaving Aaron and Ahu behind also allowed Ye Yun to keep an eye on Earth's real-time situation, adjusting his plans accordingly. Even in the Qianwu Secret Realm, he could still oversee Earth's affairs.

Looking at the spacecraft's external display, Earth's orbit was covered with mechanical defense and reconnaissance systems. These could detect extraterrestrial threats and prevent unknown ships from sneaking onto the planet.

Ye Yun had purchased this equipment over the past few months. Though still incomplete, the system would soon be fully integrated. Any cosmic-level intruder or spacecraft below Class C would be detected and unable to hide.

Setting up these systems had cost Ye Yun a fortune, but for someone as wealthy as him, it was a minor expense. He would continue investing resources to strengthen Earth's defenses—this was just the beginning.

Finally, glancing at the beautiful blue planet behind him, Ye Yun took a deep breath and whispered,

"Momo Fish, let's go."

The spaceship moved forward quietly. Ye Yun sat in the control room, returning to his usual routine.

'Now that I've copied the golden-horned beast's innate secret technique—clone, I feel something different.'

As Ye Yun absorbed the golden-horned beast's talent, he sensed a unique realization. Taking time to contemplate, he gained further understanding.

A faint intuition told him that his Eye of Replication had a limit on how many innate secret techniques he could copy. He could only replicate up to ten types, and now that he had copied the clone technique, nine slots remained.

'Sure enough, such a powerful ability must have restrictions. But being able to copy ten innate secret techniques is already incredible!'

Ye Yun wasn't disappointed. While powerful innate techniques could boost his strength, true power came from his own will, mastery of laws, and combat amplification. If he improved in these areas, he could create his own secret techniques without relying entirely on innate talents.

Besides, with nine more opportunities to copy abilities, he was already ahead of most beings in the universe.

'For now, I must focus on understanding the laws and amplifications, then join the Virtual Universe Company's core. That way, I'll gain access to more powerful people and greater opportunities!'

Clearing his thoughts, Ye Yun took out the familiar blue-gold crystal and continued meditating on the mysteries of the law of water.

After several hours, Ye Yun delved into the memories of the golden-horned beast's ancestor, unraveling its deep comprehension of the Law of Gold within his sea of consciousness. With the beast's extraordinary talent for understanding this cosmic principle, he gradually grasped the profound mysteries of the Golden Law of the Universe.
