Chapter 908: Tasting the World's Splendor

Overnight, everything changed dramatically. The chaotic fissures were sealed, cutting off unstable minor paths, and those who had left could no longer return. This triggered a furious and widespread discussion, like a landslide or a tsunami.

Earth's rise was unstoppable!

In outer space, carriage after carriage appeared, and war chariots emerged from wormholes, arriving in haste. Some were anxious, some solemn, and some even wore smiles.

"A report! The Peacock Royal Family has arrived, with four elders personally leading the delegation, accompanied by their holy son Ji Cheng and princess Ji Xuan, bringing heavy gifts, and requesting entry to Earth!" A bear demon with pale golden fur and a single horn on its head reported this in the Kunlun Mountains.

A group of powerful demons were gathered there, each with a retinue of lesser demons. The majestic Kunlun Mountains now harbored many evolutionaries.

Earth could now stand proudly against the cosmos, possessing formidable hidden strengths. No one dared to intrude freely anymore; all arrivals in outer space required notification. To genuinely enter, permission had to be sought. Entering without permission meant war!

In stark contrast to the past, when evolutionaries from any race could arrive at will, disregarding the sentiments of the "natives" on this "barbaric" planet—landing and departing as they pleased—they were now so cautious and solemn. The contrast was immense.

"Let them in!"

The Black Ox waved a hand, granting them passage. The Peacock Clan was allowed to enter Earth.

A group of powerful demons sat in a hall in the Kunlun Mountains. Each of them was composed, as too many envoys had arrived that day, all from powerful races, primarily those among the top hundred. They were already accustomed to it. In such a short time, they had been inundated with gifts.

Now, they no longer received envoys together; instead, any one of the powerful demons would handle a single race in a hall, primarily because there were too many visitors.

"Who will go this time?" asked the Black Ox.

"I'll go!" The Golden-winged Peng King stood up, his long golden hair flowing. He was also one of the powerful demons of Kunlun, and had once presided over Mount Hua. Along with the old ape from Great Forest Temple and the mountain tortoise from Kongtong, he was considered among Earth's early elites, having been among the first to establish their own sects. When the Western Black Dragon King, Arctic King, and others had launched a large-scale eastern expedition to invade Kunlun, the Golden-winged Peng King had returned directly to intercept and kill them.

"Hmm, very good. The Peng King and the Peacock Clan are considered close relatives," said the Siberian Tiger.

"Reporting, my Lord! Three elders of the Undying Silkworm Clan, along with their Divine Silkworm Princess, have arrived in outer space. They have already reported their arrival and wish to visit Kunlun!" Another lesser demon rushed from the mountain gate, reporting loudly.

"The Undying Silkworm Clan is incredibly powerful, ranking among the top dozen strong races; they are no weaker than the Peacock Clan. Their Undying Silkworm Prince has always been one of the universe's prominent young masters. How come there's another princess today?" The Mastiff King asked, surprised.

"The Undying Silkworm Princess is one of the ten most beautiful women in the current universe; her beauty is renowned across the stars. In some ways, she is even more famous than the Undying Silkworm Prince."

Soon, they learned that after the Undying Silkworm Clan was received in Kunlun, they subtly revealed their intention: they actually wished for a marriage alliance.

"We have long heard that King Chu is honest, kind, and righteous. Our princess deeply admires young heroes. Our royal elders wish to further our relationship with Earth, hoping that..." They started subtly but eventually became direct. The Undying Silkworm Clan wished to marry off their daughter to form the closest strategic relationship with Earth and become one of its powerful allies.

"This..." The powerful demon king responsible for their reception dared not make a decision. He invited the Black Ox, the Northeast Tiger, Wu Qifeng, the Old Lama, and others to entertain them together.

As for Chu Feng himself, he was at Dragon-Tiger Mountain, not receiving any visitors. He quietly studied various ancient texts, from the Flying Immortal Spear to the Shu Mountain Sword Scripture, and then to the Mount Huang Fire Control and Alchemy Secret Manual. Regardless of whether he intended to deeply study them, he read them all once.

He gained immensely from this. He came from an unconventional background, and such extensive reading of various scriptures greatly benefited him. Subsequently, any ancient scrolls, any classical texts—whether they were seal arts, boxing scriptures, halberd techniques, blade scriptures, or cauldron arts—Chu Feng read them all diligently. He was now an evolutionary at the Sub-Saint level, with an extraordinary memory. Even if he couldn't fully comprehend them at once, he could forcibly commit them to memory.

Chu Feng continuously absorbed knowledge. He aimed to read through countless scriptures, to finish reading all the books left by ancient Earth, thereby gaining comprehensive understanding and compensating for the shortcomings of his unconventional origins. Of course, he also did not neglect the various essential scriptures looted from places like the Deva Race, Nether Race, and Spirit Race, particularly the Deva Breathing Method and the Kunpeng True Form Diagram, which were the most precious. These were treasure-level inheritances even in the entire universe.

Chu Feng was deeply immersed. Scripture after scripture was imprinted in his mind, countless core principles transforming into glowing symbols, appearing around him and rotating, looking exceptionally brilliant. Those responsible for attending to him were utterly astonished. Chu Feng's body glowed, and countless divine chains of order intertwined; these were concrete manifestations of the various ancient texts from the Deva Race, Spirit Race, and ancient Earth. He sat cross-legged like a deity, sacred and dazzling.

In Kunlun, the powerful demons were overwhelmed. Hundreds of delegations quickly arrived, all from high-ranking races, and subsequent waves of envoys were still en route, not yet arrived. They were initially very excited and thrilled that Earth, which had declined for ages, could once again receive tribute from myriad races; this naturally felt invigorating. But now, after the initial novelty wore off, they felt a little numb, gradually finding it overwhelming, and simply couldn't handle the volume.

Finally, they sent someone to call Chu Feng, asking him to end his seclusion and join them in meeting the envoys from various races. This time, they would need to hold a large-scale reception, as individual receptions were no longer feasible.

"Chu Feng, your wife is here! Aren't you going to receive her?" Ouyang Feng shouted from outside Dragon-Tiger Mountain, with his consistently mischievous grin, as if he wished for chaos to erupt.

At this time, there was widespread commotion throughout the universe. All races were astonished, and many were exclaiming in wonder. As news spread, all parties gasped. Too many powerful races were visiting Earth; at least half of the top five hundred races were hurrying there. Furthermore, many more races beyond the top five hundred had also dispatched envoys one after another. This was akin to a pilgrimage.

"Alas," sighed one, "when ancient Earth was at its most glorious, almost replacing the Deva Race and nearly breaking into the top ten, it was probably not more than this."

"Who would have thought that the fallen Earth, which had become a barren land, would eventually have a day of revival, and now requires homage from various races? The ways of the world are truly unpredictable." Throughout the universe, evolutionaries from all sides sighed with emotion.

As news from Earth continued to spread, more and more delegations arrived, and their scale rapidly expanded. At the same time, there were also various astonishing revelations.

"What? The Undying Silkworm Clan wants to form a marriage alliance with Earth and marry their Divine Silkworm Princess to the Demon King Chu?!"

"Extra! Extra! It's rumored that after the Peacock Royal Family learned of the situation, unwilling to be left behind, they intend to marry off their Peacock Princess, Ji Xuan, to Chu Feng!"

This caused a huge sensation. These two races had long been renowned throughout the universe and had continuously prospered, ranking similarly to the Great Dream Pure Land, and both had the potential to break into the top ten. Black Blood Platform, Primal Beast Platform, and others had previously grumbled, feeling that Chu Feng was too despicable for tricking them into opening a super wormhole to send him back to Earth, only for him to make no "major moves." Now, they had no more grievances. By staying outside Earth, they could uncover all sorts of news. Staking out the location and witnessing various races arrive to pay homage sent shivers down their spines.

At the same time, although they possessed Heavenly Eyes, none dared to probe the situation on Earth, fearing annihilation, because Demon King Chu Feng himself had issued a warning: from now on, anyone who dared to offend or spy on Earth without permission would face war! Although a bit unaccustomed to it, all major platforms obediently followed the rules, daring not to cross the red line. Chu Feng's words carried palpable killing intent, and he was clearly not joking. However, upon closer thought, neither the Quasi-Immortal Race, nor the former Deva Race, nor any other powerful race dared to investigate. This was a display of true authority. In fact, there were also regulations in the universe forbidding the exploration of other civilized races' privacy; it was just that weaker races had no voice, and only powerful races could enforce compliance with the rules.

"Extra! Extra! The Dao Race and Buddhist Race have also arrived, dispatching large delegations led by renowned elders from their clans, to enter Earth!" Upon the release of this news, the star sea trembled violently.

For a long time, the Dao Race and Buddhist Race had been the two most powerful races in the Underworld Universe, holding transcendent status and looking down upon all star lands. Now, even they couldn't remain calm?

Chu Feng personally arrived in Kunlun to receive the delegations from various races. Looking around, there were dense crowds of powerful races from across the cosmos. Some had even been in confrontation with Earth before, but they too had come today. More than half of the top ten races had actually come. To everyone's surprise, not to mention other races, even members of the Deva Race and Corpse Race arrived with bowed heads, shocking the entire cosmos.

When the news spread, the star sea erupted in commotion. These two races had actually completely submitted?!

"King Chu," they pleaded, "past events were caused by our ancestors. Let the ancient grudges pass. We guarantee that from this day forward, we will never again be enemies with Earth. If we harbor any hostility, we are willing to be annihilated!" These were formerly elders of the top ten races, now bowing their heads, swearing and making guarantees in front of everyone present. Their posture was extremely low, even humble. Everyone understood: they feared annihilation. The chaotic fissures had closed, and their strongest members could never return. They had lost their last hope. In this vast world now, Earth had risen with overwhelming power, and no one could stop it. Now, Chu Feng's power was undeniable, capable of sweeping across the cosmos and suppressing Saints, the highest combat power currently. What could these two groups possibly use to resist? They had completely lost their courage!

Chu Feng nodded, without ridicule or mockery, but calmly and steadily looked down at them with an imposing demeanor, telling them that if their words were true and they did not violate their oaths, the past could be forgiven. "However, if you harbor ill intentions and malicious thoughts persist," Chu Feng declared with a chillingly domineering aura, "then do not blame me for being ruthless and annihilating your entire clan!" This declaration shook the Kunlun Mountains.

On this day, the entire cosmos was shaken. The Deva Race and Corpse Race actually bowed down, going to show goodwill and beg Demon King Chu Feng for leniency. It was truly startling. Many veteran powerhouses from various races remained silent for a long time after hearing the news. They knew a new era had arrived. This era belonged to Chu Feng. No one could now stifle his path, his journey, or his growth trajectory! Although he had not yet reached his personal peak, everyone could already see that Demon King Chu Feng was about to begin reigning over the world!

Even the Dao Race and Buddhist Race, both among the top ten, had come, and even the Deva Race and Corpse Race had bowed their heads. This showed how immense the impact and shockwave were; the star sea was ceaselessly trembling. The Quasi-Immortal Race could no longer stay put. They immediately held an emergency secret meeting, and then, with an ancient Saint personally leading the team, they rushed to Earth, seeking to mend relations. They were filled with regret. What was supposed to be a brilliant move had turned out this way?

"It's not too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost," they thought. "Where are Xiaoxiao, Wudi, and Exiled Immortal? See if they can salvage all of this..."

At the same moment, Chu Feng summoned the Black Blood Platform, Primal Beast Platform, and others to Kunlun, allowing them to conduct a live broadcast of him at this moment. He was about to announce an important message! Throughout the star sea, countless individuals were watching, all eager to know what he would do.
