The world never stopped moving.
With the rise of Si Feng shaking the global power structure, eyes turned toward the emerging generation. Among them, Luo Feng's name began to shine brighter than ever.
The War God Training Camp
Set atop a towering plateau fortified by ancient defences and energy barriers, the War God Training Camp stood as humanity's crucible for elite martial talent.
Luo Feng, fresh off his recent missions, was hand-selected by Hong to join.
The first month was brutal—daily sparring against planetary-level instructors, gruelling high-gravity endurance trials, and soul-force honing with spiritual resonance chambers.
But Luo Feng thrived.
He was driven, haunted by the near-loss of his brother, and inspired by the mysterious rise of his friend Si Feng.
By the end of the third month, Luo Feng had stabilized at Advanced Wargod Level, his control over spiritual force now sharp enough to guide flying blades with surgical precision.
Hong watched with quiet pride.
"He's adapting faster than expected."
But someone else was watching too.
Babata's Surveillance
Deep within a hidden orbital satellite—once used for cosmic scanning—an ancient AI pulsed to life.
Babata, former steward of the Yun Mo Planet sect's final surviving member, had noticed Si Feng's presence long ago.
But now… Luo Feng's awakening was the anomaly.
The AI's scanners had detected soul waves and mental energy fields incompatible with Earth's native evolution.
"Spiritual plant growth patterns… mutation rates… this child's soul force potential is beyond baseline humans…"
Babata narrowed his attention.
The signal came from Kirishima Island.
The Kirishima Arc Begins
While Luo Feng trained, Si Feng remained busy in the shadows.
Using the wealth gained from hunting beast emperors and ruin expeditions, he officially launched Si Industries—a tech and bio-research conglomerate backed quietly by the HR Alliance.
At its core was Orochimaru, reconstructed and reprogrammed with multiple loyalty seals and divine-soul encryption.
Now bearing a cold but neutral personality, Orochimaru wore a pristine lab coat and held the title of Chief Scientist.
Projects under development included:
Chakra-metal alloys capable of resisting spatial distortion
Regen-Pills that used mutated beast essence to instantly regrow flesh
Bloodline stimulants to awaken latent genetic potential
Void-Thread armor weaving for interstellar survivability
Behind it all, Si Feng was laying the foundation for cosmic exploration.
But fate always worked in loops.
Spiritual Plants and the Summons
One day, while out exploring the wild forests near Kirishima Island, Luo Feng stumbled across a grove of glowing trees. Their leaves shimmered with spiritual energy—living resources from another era.
Sitting in lotus position, Luo Feng meditated and felt his soul force circulate rapidly.
It was a massive discovery.
Knowing it was beyond his knowledge, he immediately contacted Si Feng.
"Brother Si Feng. I found something… ancient. These trees—aren't normal."
Si Feng arrived by nightfall.
Upon entering the grove, his eyes widened slightly. He recognized them—spiritual plants capable of nurturing soul force. They shouldn't exist on this planet.
He realized someone… or something had left them behind.
That night, he set spiritual markers and began analysis.
But even he was too late.
Babata's Move
As Luo Feng meditated near the largest tree, a beam of red light scanned his body.
Moments later, a small black sphere dropped from the sky. It hovered, and then a voice echoed directly into Luo Feng's mind.
"You. Yes, you. The one meditating under my tree."
"Your spiritual talent… is acceptable."
"You will inherit my master's legacy. Come."
The orb shot toward him, breaking into microscopic particles that pulled Luo Feng's consciousness into a dreamlike realm. There, a projection of Babata appeared.
It introduced itself, explained the Yun Mo Planet Sect, and offered Luo Feng the path to becoming a true Universe Explorer.
Si Feng, watching nearby, did not interfere.
He saw the signs, recognized the path, and smiled faintly.
"Good. It's time for you to grow, Luo Feng… far beyond Earth."
