However, having learned his lesson, Ultraman's clone deliberately brought the Divine Tree clone with him to leave divine power imprints in many places in the human territory.
The reason for bringing along the Divine Tree clone is that the original divine kingdom of the Ultra clone only allows the user to enter, and it is impossible to bring others along for teleportation. Therefore, the Divine Tree clone is needed as a transit station to facilitate the main body and other clones.
Two and a half years later, Ultraman's clone used teleportation for the last time and arrived in a familiar starry sky.
A blazing star, surrounded by planets—we've arrived at our solar system.
"I remember that I even used the sun to accelerate my cultivation back then."
Ultraman's clone looked at the sun ahead, a trace of memory flashing in his eyes.
Then, Ultraman's clone flew silently through the solar system. With his power, it was impossible for anyone or any technology on Earth to detect it.
"Saturn hasn't changed much, probably because it's not worth terraforming."
Ultraman's clone was the first to cross Saturn, while the Golden Dragon clone also swallowed several of Mars's moons.
Jupiter is similar, the only planet that has changed the most is Mars.
"Yes, Mars has been terraformed!"
Originally red, Mars has become lush and green with the help of planetary terraforming technology, turning into a habitable planet.
After all, Mars is the most suitable planet for terraforming in the solar system. The other planets are not in good geographical locations, and some are even gas giants.
Ultraman's clone looked around and saw that the mountain he had created on Mars by releasing a photon fluid blast had been filled in and transformed into a lake.
"And the moon!"
Even Mars has been terraformed, so naturally the Moon, which is far from Earth, has also been terraformed. However, rather than being terraformed into a habitable place, the Moon is more suitable as a transit station between Earth and the universe.
After observing the other planets in the solar system, Ultraman's clone slowly flew towards Earth.
After Earth connected with the universe, there were many more spaceships coming and going.
Looking at the Earth before him, Ultraman's clone suddenly remembered that although the Black Dragon was a reward given to Luo Feng by the Empire for being among the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Kingdom.
However, when Luo Feng purchased the Earth, he directly divided it into four parts, giving them to Lu Yunhe, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor.
In other words, the current masters of Earth are Lu Yunhe and his three companions.
However, this sovereignty is not very meaningful; it's only useful when you're weak to deal with those who are still willing to play within the rules.
For Ultraman's current clones, the Virtual Universe Company's certification of Earth's sovereignty is indeed meaningless.
Having the power of a universe master, even if Earth's secrets were exposed now, humanity would not take any action.
Ultraman then passed through Earth's atmosphere and arrived over the Asian continent, taking in the view below.
"There's a beauty to it that comes from home!"
Although he had only been away from Earth for two thousand years, he had traveled to many places, including the primordial universe, the original secret realm, the extraterrestrial battlefield, and the ancestral secret realm. Each place possessed a unique beauty, but only this place gave him a sense of comfort.
"Jiangnan City!"
Ultraman's clone flew in mid-air, looking down at the city below. The city where he originally lived was destroyed at the beginning of the Great Nirvana. He then followed the base to move and finally settled in Jiangnan City.
"The population has decreased, but the changes are not significant; it has even become a bit more retro."
Ultraman's clone landed in the city, where the surrounding cityscape still looked as if it had never been exposed to space, and there were even a lot of retro buildings.
Because of Lu Yunhe and others, Earth's civilization has seen its resources and technological level rise by countless levels after making contact with the universe.
After achieving instant success, there is no need for extensive urban redevelopment.
With the help of Lu Yunhe and others, a large number of cultural buildings were preserved, and a retro trend was even set off.
Even now, there are still paper bookstores on the street selling ordinary books.
At this point, Earth had become the cultural center and symbol for all people on Earth.
On the other hand, Mars is undergoing extensive transformation according to the standards of cosmic civilizations, making it the complete opposite of Earth at this time.
hum!
Ultraman's clones transformed into human form and walked along the street, and you could even see some people riding bicycles speeding past.
Seeing this, Ultraman's clone showed a strange expression. Spaceships were floating by in the sky from time to time, and people were riding bicycles on the ground.
However, given the average quality of people on Earth, the speed at which this bicycle is ridden is comparable to that of a car.
Ultraman's clone then passed by some schools, where one could hear the sound of students reading aloud from time to time, a very retro educational approach.
Because Luo Feng and Hong Du both served as guardians on Earth, many of the policies left behind by Lu Yunhe have been continued.
For example, instead of using resources to strengthen all Earthlings, they were allowed to receive cultural education and practice martial arts on their own before a certain age.
If you don't become a martial artist after reaching adulthood, you can receive resources to upgrade to the martial artist level. If you don't break through to the planetary level by the age of thirty, you can also receive another set of resources to upgrade to the planetary level and meet the requirements of a cosmic citizen.
In any case, Lu Yun, Luo Feng, and the others could afford to upgrade all of humanity on Earth to planetary or even stellar levels; it was simply unnecessary.
Having learned the secrets of Earth, it is natural to leverage the advantages of humankind.
After all, once you become a planetary-level being, you have a lifespan of a thousand years, which is more than enough.
Even more cruelly, if we cultivate in a way that maximizes the interests of the strong, the best way is actually to completely seal off the entire Earth and return it to an ancient environment.
Then, in this small, enclosed environment, a group of beings with excellent mental states were cultivated, and then they were guided into the universe to cultivate.
A person who has reached the third level of mental cultivation already possesses an affinity for the laws equivalent to a Blood Warrior, not to mention other advantages in cultivation...
In the universe, ten thousand world lords are no match for one immortal god, and similarly, one hundred thousand immortal gods are no match for one cosmic venerable.
If we could produce a person with a second or third level of mindset every now and then, on a cosmic scale spanning billions of years, that would be incredibly profitable.
They could even orchestrate their own extraterrestrial demon invasions or spiritual energy resurgences, forcing Earthlings to fight to the death in an extremely confined environment...
After all, the narrower the environment, the greater the degree of emotional release, because there is less contact and no choice.
An ordinary person climbing Mount Tai feels like they've reached the summit, but if it were an Ultraman clone, they would probably have to leave the original universe and look back at the vastness of the entire universe to have that feeling.
However, this approach would be too cruel for most people, and it would likely backfire.
After connecting with the universe, the environment becomes vast, and there are more options available. In this era, Earthlings can truly lie down without a care in the world for thousands of years.
……
"Thank you, sir!"
Ultraman's clone bought a pancake from a street vendor. Although the other person looked like his grandfather, if you factored in time acceleration, he could be the old man's ancestor.
However, Ultraman's clone still called out, holding the hot pancake in his hand, and suddenly felt something in his heart.
"Hehe, as long as it tastes good, that's all that matters. I just followed the recipe recorded in the ancient text."
The man, who looked like a seventy or eighty-year-old, laughed and said that with the current level of technology, one's face can remain youthful even until death, but it is clear that if one's mindset is old, one will not care about changes in appearance.
"Why didn't Grandpa choose to continue cultivating?" Ultraman's clone glanced at the old man's cultivation level, which was only at the low-level planetary stage. Clearly, with this level of strength, he had never seriously cultivated.
"I went too far in the virtual universe when I was young, and looking back I realize that my strength is only so-so, and I no longer have the willpower for it." The old man shook his head.
There was no regret in his tone; after all, he had enjoyed everything he could, and he hadn't lost out in the past thousand years.
"I see!" Ultraman's clone seemed to understand something, then left the roadside stall. The old man didn't seem to care about charging for such ordinary food, since most resources were free these days, and he was just doing this for fun.
As Ultraman's clone walked down the street, he reflected on his experiences and gained a new understanding.
Why do some strong people like to mingle among ordinary people? It's because the people around them don't know them and treat them as equals. This kind of treatment makes people who have always lived in a superior environment feel very touched.
However, the so-called equality is just an illusion. The strong are still the strong and still have absolute control over the things around them.
For wealthy people, experiencing life is ultimately just an experience; it doesn't actually turn them into poor people.
"Never forget our original aspiration, focus on the present, and seize the future!"
Ultraman's clone silently thought to himself, his state of mind changing once again without him even noticing.
Having returned to Earth after a thousand years, although its appearance is still very similar to that of the past, its essence is now the future.
Just like him now, although he still walks on the street like an ordinary person, the energy contained within him can blast the sun in the sky with a wave of his hand.
If you still consider yourself an ordinary person, then you're really letting down the power you've cultivated.
Thinking of this, Ultraman's clone became too lazy to continue strolling along the street. He then flashed to the edge of the city, where a large number of spacious martial arts schools were located.
Ultimate Martial Arts School!
Chapter 271 Hong Pick
"Drink up, drink up..."
Ultraman's clone entered the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall, where a group of children, with an average age of around ten, were training energetically in the hall's lobby.
Hong Yijiu opened the Extreme Martial Arts School back then, but after going to space, he stopped managing it.
However, it is a martial arts school established by one of the four pillars of humankind. Even if it was just casually created, it still has countless followers, so it continues to flourish even after a thousand years.
At this time, Earth mainly has a basic training base for martial artists at the planetary level and below, as well as the Limit Martial Arts School founded by Hong and the Thunder Martial Arts School founded by Thor.
Influenced by this, Luo Feng also opened his own Jin Feng Martial Arts School.
In addition, there are some small martial arts schools run by other people, but compared to the four mentioned above, they are basically just for personal enjoyment.
These martial arts schools and basic training bases are all for cultivating and discovering geniuses. After breaking through to the planetary level, they are all sent to the moon to receive truly elite training from Earthlings.
In this way, some truly talented individuals can be selected and nurtured.
Generally, after being cultivated to the star level, they are directly released into the universe for training. If they can demonstrate even more extraordinary talent, they will continue to be cultivated.
With the resources that Luo Feng and the others had previously possessed, they could have established a small cultivation sanctuary in the solar system.
"Xiao Jie, your punches aren't firm enough; you're too distracted..."
In the martial arts school plaza, a man in black was sternly instructing the students present.
After a training session, the man in black was able to accurately point out the shortcomings of everyone in the longcourt team, and even gave suggestions for improvement.
Although the man in black looked very stern, the students present looked on with admiration. The training was tough, but the instructor was always able to point out their shortcomings, allowing them to improve.
Just like leveling up in a game, you can make progress every time you train.
After instructing all the students, the man in black saw Ultraman's clone standing at the entrance of the martial arts school. His face immediately lit up with joy, and he respectfully led the clone into the school.
As the two departed, the students present began to discuss the matter with curiosity.
