Chapter 389: Primordial Blade Path Appointment

Luo Feng looked at the 23 World-Level Primordial Lifeforms before him, as well as the densely packed millions upon millions of High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms. In the future, to manage the vast territory under his command, he would have to rely on these subordinates.

The territory of the Cultivator Faction was simply too vast, and it could be foreseen that as overall strength increased, the territory would continue to expand!

A large number of Source Worlds, countless ordinary worlds, and lands naturally nurturing rare treasures and mineral deposits. Even the High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms on the cultivators’ side were insufficient in number—only by relying on those ‘Naturally Born Primordial Lifeforms’ who had submitted could they barely manage it. As for the Lords, they would never concern themselves with such trivial matters.

“This is our first meeting.” Luo Feng smiled as he looked at his subordinates. “In the future, if there are important matters, you may report directly to me!”

All the subordinates listened with excitement. They firmly engraved in their hearts the appearance and aura of the ‘Black-Robed, Black-Haired Man’ before them—this was the great Lord they would follow from now on.

Among the many High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms were also Qiugge and Yifeiya. The two had previously guarded the Dark World Cluster and naturally belonged under Luo Feng’s command.

“Not even two thousand eras have passed, and he’s already become a Lord!” Qiugge and Yifeiya looked at Luo Feng in the distance, feeling that everything was unreal. The last time they had guided Luo Feng, he had only been a Half-Primordial Fusion Path cultivator. Now his appearance had not changed, yet his aura was vast and boundless—every word he spoke carried infinite pressure.

This was an existence that had grasped the supreme power—the ‘Path’. The Primordial Life-and-Death Path had already become a part of Luo Feng’s very being.

The pressure brought by such a great existence was unimaginable!

Even the over one hundred Ancestors of the Naturally Born Primordial Lifeform Faction could not defeat the eight Lords. One could imagine just how terrifying the deterrence of any single Lord was.

“Your assignments will soon change. Detailed arrangements will be issued shortly,” Luo Feng said. “The 23 World-Level Primordial Lifeforms and ‘Teng’ will remain. The rest of the High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms may leave for now.”

“Yes.”

The millions of High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms respectfully bowed and withdrew. Being able to see the Lord’s Main Battle Avatar even once was already enough to satisfy them.

“Teng is truly fortunate.” As they left, many glanced at Teng with envy.

They naturally recognized Teng. Among the more than ten thousand High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms of the Dark World Cluster, Teng had the greatest influence—and this time, he had even been specially retained by the Lord.

“Follow me inside.”

Luo Feng turned and walked deeper into the cave dwelling. The 23 World-Level Primordial Lifeforms and the sole High-Rank Primordial Lifeform ‘Teng’ followed him in.

“The Lord actually kept me behind—does he intend to heavily utilize me? But I’m only a High-Rank Primordial Lifeform.” The thin old man Teng felt both nervous and excited.

“He was also summoned by the Lord?”

The World-Level Primordial Lifeforms glanced at Teng. With a brief investigation, they immediately understood all the details regarding him.

……

Tianyue Sea Cave Dwelling.

Luo Feng sat leisurely beside a lake, looking at his subordinates.

“The war between our Cultivator Faction and the Naturally Born Primordial Lifeform Faction has just ended. Some territories are still in a state of collapse, and next, they must be reclaimed one by one,” Luo Feng said. “Each of you will bear the responsibility of guarding.”

“Yes.” The 23 World-Level Primordial Lifeforms and Teng all responded respectfully. With manpower tight, their Main Battle Avatars would all have to participate in defense.

“I have already appointed four regional commanders and nineteen garrison generals,” Luo Feng said. With his current realm, based on the previous structure of the entire cultivator territory, he completed the arrangement plan within a few breaths.

Every High-Rank Primordial Lifeform had already been assigned their duties. Qiugge and Yifeiya, who had some prior ties with him, were also given important roles.

“I’m a garrison general?” Tianlangke received the detailed assignment issued by the Lord.

Tianlangke, having recently broken through to become a World-Level Primordial Lifeform, was relatively weaker among his peers and was listed as one of the nineteen garrison generals. In terms of authority, he was far inferior to the four regional commanders.

“In addition to the borders, my territory also requires three inspectors,” Luo Feng said.

At once, all 23 World-Level Primordial Lifeforms felt their hearts tighten! The position of ‘territorial inspector’ essentially meant managing vast lands on behalf of the Lord. Being able to oversee more than a hundred World Clusters meant enormous benefits.

“Will there be a place for me?” Tianlangke felt a hint of anticipation. “I come from the same World Cluster as the Lord, but last time I didn’t go to visit him… and my strength is also relatively weak…”

At this moment, Tianlangke felt conflicted and uneasy.

“My territory is temporarily divided into three regions. The inspector of the first region will be Chen Shi Jiu, the second region Zhu Huo, and the third region Guangyu,” Luo Feng said.

A bald man, seemingly ordinary with a restrained aura, was in fact the strongest under Luo Feng’s command—Chen Shi Jiu. He had originally been a Fusion Path cultivator but later chose to refine bloodlines and become a World-Level Primordial Lifeform. He selected two completely opposing bloodlines and developed their power to an astonishing level. Among World-Level Primordial Lifeforms, he ranked among the top three in the Cultivator Faction. He was also humble, had many friends, and over long years had handled affairs in a way that satisfied the Lords. Luo Feng chose him without hesitation.

Zhu Huo had a more robust build, his entire body covered in dark purple scales. Among the three inspectors, he was the weakest, at the late stage of World-Level Primordial Lifeform. However, he had previously served as an inspector and performed excellently.

Guangyu, a man with curved horns, was at the peak of World-Level Primordial Lifeform. His strength under Luo Feng was second only to Chen Shi Jiu.

The three chosen by Luo Feng were all individuals who had already proven their exceptional ability to handle affairs.

“I’ve been selected.” Zhu Huo felt relieved.

Being favored by Yuan in the past did not guarantee that Luo Feng would also choose him.

Yet he was still selected!

“The Lord values capability in handling matters more than pure strength,” Zhu Huo understood. “To the Lord, the difference between early-stage and peak World-Level Primordial Lifeforms likely means nothing.”

That was precisely how he had conducted himself before—earning the Lord’s satisfaction.

“So it’s not me…” Tianlangke felt somewhat disappointed. But he also understood—when the Lord had not yet escaped the Cage of the World, over ten thousand High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms from their homeland had all gone to visit him—he alone had not. That was essentially a complete lack of respect.

It was only natural that the Lord did not choose him.

“This Tianlangke is too arrogant by nature—unsuitable for the inspector role.” Luo Feng still valued Tianlangke, after all, he came from the same homeland.

But from previous incidents, Luo Feng had already seen through his temperament.

Tianlangke was overly arrogant! He only respected those stronger than himself. As for those weaker—he could not even be bothered to acknowledge them.

Even when he had been a High-Rank Primordial Lifeform, he had poor relations with the more than ten thousand fellow High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms from his homeland. They did not think highly of him either. As for those even weaker? Tianlangke paid them no attention at all.

With such a temperament, how could he manage over a hundred World Clusters? Directly oversee hundreds of thousands of High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms and supervise millions more?

Each inspector influenced more than a hundred World Clusters! Luo Feng had to be cautious for the sake of countless weaker beings.

In Luo Feng’s view, compassion for the weak was the foremost requirement to serve as an inspector!

“Teng.” Luo Feng looked at the only High-Rank Primordial Lifeform present.

“Lord.” Teng was extremely excited. To be valued so highly by the Lord, he was willing to die in battle for him.

“The Dark World Cluster is my Absolute Territory,” Luo Feng said. “It now requires proper development. You will lead the many High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms and be responsible for the detailed construction affairs.”

Absolute Territory—some parts were personally constructed by Luo Feng, but most required numerous High-Rank Primordial Lifeforms and even more captives to labor painstakingly.

“Your subordinate will certainly give his all,” Teng said excitedly.

“Good.” Luo Feng nodded with a smile. Teng had shown great influence even among his peers—Luo Feng trusted his organizational ability.

“In my territory, there are still 93 World Clusters in a state of collapse,” Luo Feng said, looking at his subordinates. “Of these, 65 World Clusters are occupied by the Naturally Born Primordial Lifeform Faction. We Lords will take action and reclaim them swiftly. The remaining 28 World Clusters… are occupied by the forces of ‘Blood Crane Territory’ and ‘Aominuo’.”

“Chen Shi Jiu, go to Blood Crane Territory and have them return the occupied World Clusters immediately. If they refuse, simply return,” Luo Feng instructed.

“Yes,” Chen Shi Jiu responded.

“Guangyu, go to Aominuo and likewise demand the return of the occupied World Clusters. If they refuse, do not argue—just return. Leave the rest to me,” Luo Feng said.

The eight Lords had already discussed and determined how to reclaim the fallen territories.

As for the World Clusters occupied by the Naturally Born Primordial Lifeform Faction, since the Ancestors were unwilling to continue the war, they would not stubbornly defend those territories. The eight Lords could reclaim them with ease.

The Icepeak Faction, which occupied over a hundred World Clusters, would be dealt with last—by all eight Lords together.

There were also eleven other forces, who would be given the chance to withdraw voluntarily. If they refused, war would follow.

The Cultivator Faction faced too many enemies, which was why they were offering a chance for voluntary withdrawal. Among these eleven forces, only two had seats in the Eternal Land—yet the others without seats were not necessarily weak.

For example, among the Nine Emperors, five had no seats in the Eternal Land, yet all were extremely powerful.

The two forces Luo Feng was to deal with—Blood Crane Territory and Aominuo—both had some foundation. Otherwise, they would not have dared to take advantage of the chaos.

The Aominuo faction, in the distant past, had once ranked among the top three factions in the Infinite Space. Later, it was defeated by the Naturally Born Primordial Lifeform Faction—some died, others fled, and now only one or two tenths of its former strength remained.

“I hope both forces know what’s good for them,” Luo Feng thought.

……

Cultivator territory, Dark World Cluster, Origin Continent Source World.

“So this is the Origin Continent?” Xu Xin stood high above Huyang City, looking at the bustling city below.

After Luo Feng took control of his homeland Source World, Xu Xin became like a ‘favored child of the world.’ No laws could touch her, no harm could affect her—she could even mobilize a trace of the Source Power of the Source World.

“Luo Feng, what realm have you reached?” Xu Xin looked at him, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Not long ago, Luo Feng had allowed her to understand many secrets. The Supreme Laws no longer restricted her—she could now comprehend all hidden truths.

“You could say I’ve reached the highest level among cultivators—the Lord level,” Luo Feng said.

“Lord?”

Xu Xin, having just learned this information, could not help but say, “According to what you told me, even the God Emperor Realm is still within the Cage of the World! Only by escaping the Cage… can one become a High-Rank Primordial Lifeform, a World-Level Primordial Lifeform, and ultimately a Lord. And you’ve already become a Lord?”

Everything felt surreal to her.

“Morosa.” With a single thought, Luo Feng summoned him.

Morosa appeared out of thin air. When he saw Xu Xin, he was shocked. He knew very well that the mistress was extremely weak—she should not have been able to survive in the environment of the Origin Continent. Yet now, when facing her, he felt an immense threat.

The power she naturally carried seemed capable of crushing him.

“Morosa greets both masters,” Morosa said respectfully.

Luo Feng glanced at him.

As a Realm Beast, Morosa would normally be bound by fate—without breaking that limitation, he would be destroyed along with the self-destruction of the Source World. But now that Luo Feng controlled the Source World, Morosa had escaped that fate.

Even if he were to die, Luo Feng could revive him.

“In my homeland Source World, any life within the Cage of the World—I can now revive them,” Luo Feng said. “So we need to determine the resurrection list.”

Xu Xin and Morosa were both shocked.

Revival?

Luo Feng had long made plans. He himself would decide one list.

His wife, Luo Ping, Luo Hai, and other close relatives would also have the authority to determine a resurrection list—representing Luo Feng’s family.

Yuanzu, the City Lord of Chaos, Hong, Lei Shen, Zhen Yan, and the others would also determine a list—representing the human faction of the Primal Universe.

Morosa, Master Emperor Chu, Master Zuo Shan Ke, and others would form another group and determine a list as well. Emperor Qing, Emperor Ming, Emperor Fu, Moyu Qingyan, Di Chu Yu, and others would have the right to make suggestions.

The future Origin Continent Source World would require balance among these three sides.
