Chapter 989: Father
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Luo Feng walked calmly through Nine Remoteness World, a world filled with creatures looking for him. Many indigenous creatures lived in the buildings around him, and all of them had red bodies and bloody horns. Some were babies that only reached Luo Feng’s knees, running around on the ground. Some of the older children were already fighting.
The babies are at the star traveler level, and adults are automatically sector lords, Luo Feng thought, looking around. Almost all the indigenous creatures at normal height were sector lords. No wonder there were so many sector lords chasing me. This indigenous race is indeed powerful. Much more powerful than the Golden Horned race. It might be qualified as one of the most powerful races in the universe.
Suddenly, he heard a voice. Three indigenous babies were flying and frolicking. They flew quickly with their star traveler-level power, and those small, bloody horns were almost cute.

I was born in Ancestral Sea. You should regard me as your leader.


You’re indeed more talented since you absorbed the essence and were born in the Ancestral Sea, but that doesn’t mean you can be undying. We were born in the Royal Sea, but we’re still stronger than you.


You don’t want to obey me? Then I’ll beat you until you do!


Do you think we’re scared of you?

The three babies continued assailing one another with threats as they frolicked.
Luo Feng thought to himself, They look like babies, but they’re naturally intelligent, like Golden Horned Beasts. Perhaps they can rival human teenagers…
Born in the Ancestral Sea? Born in the Royal Sea?
Absorbed the essence
in the Ancestral Sea? Thoughts flooded Luo Feng’s mind. Does that mean those indigenous creatures were not born to mothers? That sounds right. They’re energy-based life forms, and energy life forms are quite different from others. It seems some indigenous creatures were born in the
Ancestral Sea
while some others were born in the
Royal Sea.
The Ancestral Sea sounds superior.
Royal Sea… On my way here, I came across other indigenous creatures. I’ve heard about this prince, leading over 100 million warriors, who is trying to capture me. The prince has such a high status already, there must be a king or emperor above him.
Questions flashed through Luo Feng’s mind.
Indigenous creatures saluted Luo Feng when they saw him. Luo Feng knew that in this indigenous world, undying great beings were highly respected.

In the towering ancient city where countless indigenous residents lived.
This ancient city was much larger than the one Luo Feng was touring. It was the home of the prince, as well as several universe knight-level generals who had palaces throughout the city, too.
The prince wandered into the great palace, frowned, and clenched his teeth.

Damn it!
he growled.
Damn it!

All his servants quickly had fled, and he was the only one in the palace. They were frightened for their lives. They didn’t know why their prince was so furious, but he had already executed three servants.

They dare to laugh at me! Just because you become a universe knight sooner than me? And they think that undying fighter from another race can’t get away—that I’m hallucinating?

The prince gritted his teeth even harder. As the supreme being of this world, even universe knights revered him. Only his brothers dared provoke him. The 108 brothers constantly competed with each other, and his failure to encircle and trap the undying intruder couldn’t be kept a secret. Thus, he was mercilessly ridiculed.

I was not wrong… I was right!

The prince waved his hand.
Hong, long, long!
The door closed. The servants outside didn’t dare to make a sound.
In the palace, a red light dimmed on the huge pillar, soaking the entire palace in a red glow.

Father. Father?
The prince raised his head and shouted,
Please show up, father!

Hong, long, long!
An invincible force permeated the palace, and Nine Remoteness World energies started to gather. The servants outside didn’t even notice the movement inside the palace as Nine Remoteness World energies gathered, forming a huge, blurry face.

My child,
said the giant head, looking down at the prince.

My father,
said the prince, giving a salutation. Then he started to complain.
I led 100 million warriors to encircle and suppress an undying intruder from another race, and my warriors killed many undying slaves. Yet the undying intruder must still be alive. I even asked the 300 undying warriors who guard the Nine Remoteness Whirlpool at that time. Those who chased him said he was unbelievably fast. The slaves killed afterward were nothing like that. This confirms my suspicions. But—but…
The prince clenched his teeth to prevent himself from stuttering with frustration.
The giant head looked down and said in an apathetic voice,
But the universe knights under you, and your brothers, all think you’re hallucinating, don’t they?


Yes,
the prince said.
But—


You’re not wrong,
said the giant head.
But neither are they. Nine Remoteness World energies can’t detect this intruder, and that’s why they think you’re hallucinating.
The giant head stared at the prince.
But the intruder is indeed still alive.


Alive? Really?
The prince was overjoyed.
I knew it! I knew he was exceptional the moment I learned of his speed.


Exceptional, indeed,
the giant head said coldly.

How did he escape my army?
the prince asked. He was curious about it, and it was also the issue his older brothers had questioned him about the most.

Under Nine Remoteness World energies, other races can do nothing but show themselves,
said the giant head.
Yet he eludes the army’s efforts to find him. By all accounts, it would appear he has been killed already. You claim that he’s still alive, so let me ask you this: How do you surmise that he got away?

The prince was bewildered.

Because he can disguise himself,
said the giant head, looking down.
He can camouflage himself as any creature of my Nine Remoteness race.


Ah!
the prince said. He was excited to discover an answer, though he found it hard to believe.
Then… Then we need to kill him right now! How can we let him roam freely if he can camouflage himself?

The giant head snorted, and the prince went silent. Although his father cared for him and his brothers, he was innately cold and indifferent. It was enough for him to care for his children. If the princes dared to ask too much of their father, however, they would be punished.

Train harder,
said the head.
If you can become a universe knight like your brothers, I can take you outside to adventure.

With that, the giant head disappeared.
The prince took a deep breath.
How lucky,
he muttered.
The prince was still in a panic. Realizing he had said something inappropriate, he quickly clamped his mouth shut. Such careless words were grounds for punishment.

Universe knight,
he said.
I’ll achieve that. I will.

Aggression filled the prince’s eyes when he thought about this. It was a determination that came from an infinity of repression. None of the princes were allowed outside Nine Remoteness World unless they became universe knights.

Luo Feng walked among the buildings. He saw another group of babies playing in front of him.

Come here.
Luo Feng waved at one of them. He was the most jubilant and apparently the leader of the group.
The baby ran towards Luo Feng and gave a salutation.
Greetings, undying.


Um…
said Luo Feng, grinning.
Were you born in the Ancestral Sea?


Yes,
the baby answered shyly and touched his horn.
Luo Feng nodded. Based on what he had learned so far, indigenous creatures born in the Ancestral Sea were naturally stronger than those born in one of the Royal Seas. Generally, any who were born in the Ancestral Sea was automatically a leader.

Tell me about the Ancestral Sea,
Luo Feng said.

An undying fighter who has never been to the Ancestral Sea?
The baby looked excited, then continued,
The Ancestral Sea is outside our world. Even if we were born in the Ancestral sea, we can’t go back once we enter this world. Only if we become undying will we have the chance to go to the Ancestral Sea through the Nine Remoteness Whirlpool.

Luo Feng was dazed. Ancestral Sea? Nine Remoteness Whirlpool? Outside?

Is it the Nine Remoteness Ocean?
Luo Feng couldn’t help linking these two together.

The Ancestral Sea is vast,
the indigenous baby continued.
It’s boundless and right on top of our world. Rumor has it that it’s larger than our world. Haha! Those born in the Royal Seas can’t compare to us. There are 108 Royal Seas, but even the largest Royal Sea is nothing compared to the Ancestral Sea.
The baby indulged in this grand verbiage and was obviously proud to be born in the Ancestral Sea. Luo Feng’s heart skipped a beat. The pieces were falling into place.
It must be the Nine Remoteness Ocean! Nine Remoteness Space is actually Nine Remoteness Ocean with some islands on it, and Nine Remoteness Ocean has bred indigenous life forms.
As these thoughts flooded Luo Feng’s mind, he remained calm on the outside, saying,
It’s not that bad to be born in Royal Seas. Have you ever been to one of them?

The baby shook his head.
Never.
He seemed to perceive the undying fighter in front of him to have been born in a Royal Sea, and he added,
Royal Seas are not bad at all, especially the largest one. I’m still very young, but when I get stronger in the future, I can go there.

Luo Feng suddenly understood everything.
He can go there when he is stronger… It must be difficult for these indigenous warriors to leave this world to see the Ancestral Sea again. Since it is easier to see the Royal Seas, those must be located inside Nine Remoteness World.
