Chapter 1429: I’ll Try My Best

Luo Feng looked at all the true gods from different races in Universe Ocean. He could tell that they were worried, unsettled, and anxious. He couldn’t help but sigh. He couldn’t do anything about it.

He could tell the weaknesses of Sector Beasts, and he could say that he hadn’t shown his maximum power yet. However, the true gods were still unsettled. Luo Feng understood that those true gods weren’t scared for their own lives; anyone who became a true god wasn’t scared of death. However, they still wanted to protect those they cared about. Now, Sector Beasts were trying to destroy everything! Everyone would naturally panic!

“Ah.” Luo Feng shook his head, then stood up and said, “Everyone, I, Luo Feng, will do my best to kill that Sector Beast.” Then he turned around and entered his palace.

Those true gods were all worried, but upon seeing Luo Feng enter the palace, they left as well.

Luo Feng had a great reputation, as he was the strongest great being in Universe Ocean! However, the fight between him and the Sector Beast also spoke volumes. It was only one Sector Beast that had come out of the nest, yet Luo Feng failed to kill it. When that news was spread, all the races in Universe Ocean would be anxious. Fortunately, Luo Feng had several bodies, and he hadn’t even used all his power.

“Milky Way Horde Leader is only a universe master. When he becomes a true god, his power will surge again, and he can totally kill that Sector Beast!”

“It’s only one Sector Beast, but it’s already so powerful. There is a large group of Sector Beasts in that nest! How are we supposed to fight against them? No wonder the original mind pointed out that Milky Way Horde Leader is the strongest great being in Universe Ocean. Perhaps the only chance for us to survive is Milky Way Horde Leader.”

“Other than Milky Way Horde Leader, we true gods need to cooperate to fight that Sector Beast.”

While Universe Ocean was in chaos, in Milky Way Holy Land of the human territory in the original universe, the endless Remote Ocean was tumbling.

Hua! Hua! Hua!

After over a trillion eras, the Remote Ocean had expanded to a diameter of 12 light years. When it had reached this limit, no matter how much power Luo Feng swallowed from the original universe, he wasn’t able to expand his Remote Ocean further. Of course, if he consumed his godly power, he could still expand it. For what it was worth, the volume of the Remote Ocean had already reached its limit!

A being stood above the endless Remote Ocean—a white-caped being looking into the vast space in the distance.

“Earth!”

Luo Feng looked at the space in the distance. Through his control over space and time, scenes kept being transferred to his sight through space and time until he could see the polar system near Milky Way Holy Land. He also saw the blue planet that was his birthplace, Earth.

Luo Feng was able to see everything happening on Earth. Children were growing. Teenagers were practicing hard in dojos. Travelers were admiring the dead heroes from the “swallowing beast battle” in front of their sculptures. His eyes took in all these scenes.

“Are you looking at your hometown?” said an ancient voice.

Luo Feng took back his sight, and everything became space again. He looked to the side and saw Sitting Mountain Guest with two antennae on his head.

“Teacher.” Luo Feng lowered his head for a second to show respect.

“Why are you looking at your hometown?” Sitting Mountain Guest chuckled and smiled. The teacher and the disciple stood on top of the endless Remote Ocean, conversing.

“I’m anxious,” said Luo Feng. “That is why I am looking at my hometown, watching the people there. I feel like if I were back home, then I could be calm.”

“Anxious? You get anxious?” Sitting Mountain Guest smiled. “This third disciple of mine is always tranquil, peaceful, and persistent, and you see through everything delusional. It’s not easy to make you anxious.”

Luo Feng said, “If it affects those whom I protect, I’ll be anxious. Sector Beasts are a catastrophe for the entire Universe Ocean. If we can’t get through this, all the races will die out. My home planet and my people will all die, from the great beings to the ordinary people. But I’m not confident that I can defeat them, so I’m anxious.”

“Not confident?” Sitting Mountain Guest was shocked.

“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded. “I’ve fought a Sector Beast. Although I forced it to reveal its true body, I reckon that it still has some techniques it hasn’t shown… I’m somewhat confident, but I can’t say for sure. Besides, that was only one Sector Beast out of the entire nest. Thinking about that makes me more worried.”

Sitting Mountain Guest nodded. He could understand Luo Feng’s feelings.

“You don’t need to worry.” Sitting Mountain Guest shook his head. “The mind of the original universe tried to guide you several times, and it tells you to deal with Sector Beasts through the three ancestral gods… Apparently, it places its hopes in you, and that’s why it did that. As for the current Sector Beast problem, other true gods can’t change a thing. You’re the only living chance for the original universe.”

Luo Feng was stunned.

“Sector Beasts are not easy to deal with.” Sitting Mountain Guest shook his head. “The original universe represents life and reproduction in Universe Ocean. As for Sector Beasts, they represent destruction. They are opposites! The Sector Beasts are at the same level as the original universe, so it’s not that easy to kill them. Usually, in each era, Sector Beasts are able to roam the entire Universe Ocean and destroy all the races. The original universe would be completely destroyed and become an origin. Only after the Sector Beasts leave will the original universe origin become an original universe again.

“However, this time, you’re here for the Sector Beasts’ arrival. There’s no need for you to deny it. Although I tried to guide you, and you indeed are lucky, you have great potential on your own! No matter what kind of inheritance it is, it’s very demanding when it comes to selection. Without that sort of inborn potential, you can’t get an inheritance in the first place. You have great potential, and you’re lucky, so you became very powerful. This time, the original universe has an opportunity to live because of you!”

Luo Feng was dazed. That was right. The inheritance from Duan Dong and the inheritance from the World of Jin—neither had been easy to obtain.

“With luck, a great being was born.” Sitting Mountain Guest chuckled and smiled. “And now, when the true gods in Universe Ocean cooperate, they can deal with one or two Sector Beasts. However, after a while, the Sector Beasts will keep eating each other, and there would be fewer and fewer of them. Those that survive will be much stronger, and when that moment comes, the true gods won’t be able to resist them. That will be the beginning of a real apocalypse. I… Although I can…”

Sitting Mountain Guest paused for a bit, then said, “But I can’t resist the Sector Beasts either. You’re the only chance the original universe has. Of course, you’re not strong enough to defeat Sector Beasts now.” He shook his head. “When you become a true god, you will be the greatest true god ever born in the original universe! Only after you become a true god will you stand a chance of defeating Sector Beasts. Of course, although I have said you’re the only chance, it doesn’t mean you can definitely succeed. If you fail, all the races in Universe Ocean, not to mention the original universe, including the earthlings… All of them will be annihilated, and none of them will live.”

Luo Feng nodded mildly. He understood.

Even though he could tell that teacher Sitting Mountain Guest was being mysterious, anytime Sitting Mountain Guest talked to him, Luo Feng could sense that he was constantly being admonished by the mind of the original universe. Luo Feng could infer that Sitting Mountain Guest didn’t have a good relationship with the original mind. If Sitting Mountain Guest could have actually saved Universe Ocean, the original universe would’ve asked him for help already.

“I’ll try my best,” said Luo Feng.

“Of course, there’s no need for you to be worried,” said Sitting Mountain Guest. “This is only one Sector Beast, and there’s still a long time before the final Sector Beast king is born. The power of the Sector Beasts is far from the pinnacle level. The Sector Beast that came out this time isn’t the most powerful one in the nest. If it was, it wouldn’t have left the nest. Your power is enough to deal with the Sector Beasts at the current level.”

Luo Feng nodded. “For what it’s worth, I’ll try my best to kill that Sector Beast, and I’ll succeed next time!”

Sector Beast Morosa became more cautious after his fight against Luo Feng.

It kept eating the origins of miniature universes time and time again, but every time a powerful true god approached it, it would immediately run away. Divine Eye Master and the others also encountered the Sector Beast. They used space seal against it, but each time that Sector Beast would try its best to run away, and they couldn’t stop it.

Three years after Sector Beast Morosa fought Luo Feng, Nine Remoteness Master fought the Sector Beast!

The fight attracted the attention of the entire Universe Ocean, and Luo Feng was excited as well.

Nine Remoteness Master was a lot like Luo Feng. Both were from the original universe, although they were in different areas of Universe Ocean. This time, when the Sector Beast was swallowing the origin, it happened to be close to Nine Remoteness Master.

Nine Remoteness Master was different from other great beings, as he feared from the start that the Sector Beast would disintegrate and run away. Nine Remoteness Master sealed the space first, and then his body became an endless ocean—an ocean with a diameter of over a light year!

It was godly power that was endless! It immediately immersed the Sector Beast, who became anxious. It had learned from its slaves that Nine Remoteness Master had the most godly power in Universe Ocean! He could literally consume all the power of Sector Beasts and only lose a small part of his godly power.

Sector Beast Morosa immediately broke its body in two parts—yes, two instead of 99. They flew in different directions so fast that they still surpassed the speed limit of Universe Ocean even being blocked by the godly power ocean. With that terrific speed, they flew out of the endless ocean in less than half a day.

Nine Remoteness Master was indeed fast, but he could only move slowly after turning into an ocean. He could certainly turn back into a humanoid shape and show up anywhere in the ocean, but the Sector Beast had divided in two, flying in different directions, so Nine Remoteness True Master didn’t know which one to chase. Thus, the Sector Beast ran away.

However, even though it ran away, its strength was still greatly consumed by the godly power ocean. The Sector Beast made it out, but it was severely damaged by the time it got out. It was quite scared. Nine Remoteness Master was more frightening than Luo Feng! He could literally consume him to death!
