Chapter 179: Chapter 177: The Master Takes Action

Yan Rufeng released his Divine Sense towards the Purple Mansion, and immediately, a colossal wormhole mothership covering thousands of acres appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow!"

Niuniu exclaimed, "Master, this cosmic battleship is enormous!"

Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "Niuniu, this is not a cosmic battleship; it is a wormhole mothership that can travel through wormholes!"

"Master, this wormhole mothership is so magnificent..."

"Hehe!"

Niuniu laughed happily and asked, "Master, are we going to travel to Canglong Star on this wormhole mothership?"

"Of course."

"Great, great."

Niuniu started jumping with joy.

"Master, can Niuniu drive this wormhole mothership?" Niuniu looked at Yan Rufeng with longing eyes.

Yan Rufeng kindly said, "Niuniu, you can’t drive the wormhole mothership just yet. After Xue Ying meets with her clan, I will let you drive the wormhole mothership, okay?"

Niuniu pouted and looked a bit unhappy, but the idea of driving the wormhole mothership through space was too tempting.

Niuniu quickly said, "Master, let’s hurry to the Elf Clan’s base..."

Yan Rufeng and his group boarded the wormhole mothership, and after giving instructions to the Artifact Spirit, the mothership transported Yan Rufeng and his party to the North American Elf Clan’s base. After Xue Ying bid farewell to her clan, Yan Rufeng ordered the Artifact Spirit to launch out from Earth’s atmosphere...

The wormhole mothership hovered in space, and inside, the entire view of Earth was displayed on the virtual screen through imaging instruments.

Yan Rufeng stared intently at the blue planet, thinking, "Just about to leave, feeling reluctant..."

Yan Rufeng took out his phone and sent a message of blessings to everyone he knew, before commanding the Artifact Spirit to head towards the Carefree Universe at full speed...

Yan Rufeng had departed. When the people who received his messages realized, they hurriedly called Yan Rufeng, but he had already left the Solar System, and his phone was out of service...

At the Heavenly Palace, Ye Lingtian looked into the depths of the sky and murmured, "Master, rest assured, Lingtian will not fail your expectations, I will diligently cultivate to reach the Ascension Stage. Even if you cannot return in a thousand years, Lingtian will lead everyone to safety..."

Tears filled Wen Tong’s eyes as she looked sorrowfully at her phone screen, reading Yan Rufeng’s message repeatedly, "No matter whether it’s a thousand or ten thousand years, I, Wen Tong, will wait for you!"

"Sob...sob..."

"Sigh..."

In the distance, Wen JiaRen let out a long sigh, shook his head, and murmured, "Silly girl, can’t you see that Rufeng doesn’t like you? I hope you’ll understand someday..."

At the Dragon Abyss Sect, everyone was in seclusion cultivating, including Yan Rufeng’s siblings, so naturally, no one saw Yan Rufeng’s message right away. By the time they saw it, Yan Rufeng had already reached Canglong Star.

Six months after Yan Rufeng’s departure, Huaxia experienced a second significant population boom. The total population of Huaxia reached 3.5 billion due to the cultivation of all its citizens. With the extended lifespan from cultivation, the consumption of Spiritual Energy across Huaxia Land increased rapidly. Some areas with scarce Spiritual Energy became no different than they were before the cultivation era.

If the population continued to grow, the consumption of Spiritual Energy would multiply. Without intervention, Spiritual Energy in Huaxia would be exhausted within a hundred years.

The exhaustion of Spiritual Energy would mean extinction. The leaders of Huaxia understood the severity of this outcome, so they promptly issued the strictest "Procreation Prohibition Order" in history.

The "Procreation Prohibition Order" met with widespread lament, but there was no alternative. To avoid perishing in comfort, these measures were necessary.

Huaxia, being a lawful cultivation country, differed from the might-makes-right world of Canglong Star. On Canglong Star, conflicts among ordinary people were often life-or-death struggles. In those cultivation sects, disputes could lead to battles involving the entire sect, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. Carelessness on Canglong Star, a word, or a glance could mean disaster.

Though Canglong Star saw the birth of billions daily, billions also died for various reasons each day. Hence, to sustain the Huaxia population long-term, population control was necessary (as in legends, immortals could not marry or bear children). On resource-rich Canglong Star, however, its people did not face such limitations...

Yan Rufeng, piloting the wormhole mothership, had left the Milky Way. Looking at the stellar river outside the ship, Yan Rufeng felt immensely excited, thinking, "There are still 95 light-years to Canglong Star. Once there, I will go to the Netherworld to find Sister Meng’s true form and locate Mumu. After finding Mumu, I can cultivate in peace, wait for Ascension to the Immortal World, exact revenge, and complete Master’s tasks..."

For Yan Rufeng, who had wandered Canglong Star in his past life, this journey felt uncomplicated. He believed that as long as he found Yi Mu and elevated his cultivation to the Ascension Stage and entered the Immortal World, everything would fall into place easily.

However, things often don’t go as smoothly as imagined...

At the edge of the Carefree Universe, bursts of dim light appeared intermittently. Amidst these faint glimmers, a woman in a grass-green dress, just like the departing Meng Xiaopo from the Netherworld, could be seen.

This was the edge of the universe, a place off-limits to all living beings. Meng Xiaopo’s sudden appearance here suggested she was waiting for someone.

At that moment, an elderly man with white hair, clad in a purple robe, appeared beside Meng Xiaopo.

"Disciple, why did you summon me in such haste? What’s the matter?"

Meng Xiaopo bowed and said, "Master, Yan Rufeng is coming to Canglong Star."

"Hehe."

The old man chuckled, "Quite unexpected. I never thought that lad would arrive so quickly."

Meng Xiaopo bowed again and asked, "Master, should we change our plans?"

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Disciple, don’t worry about it. I will personally visit Canglong Star."

"Master, you’re going to Canglong Star personally?"

Meng Xiaopo exclaimed, and as she was about to ask more, the old man said, "Disciple, return to the Netherworld..."

Meng Xiaopo bowed and said, "Disciple will follow Master’s command."

As Meng Xiaopo turned to leave, she heard her Master’s laughter behind her.

"Haha..."

"Yan Rufeng, when you achieve something in the future, don’t hold a grudge against this old man. If you must blame someone, blame your Master..."

Meng Xiaopo inadvertently overheard her Master, causing her to ponder, "What did Master mean? As far as I know, Brother Rufeng doesn’t have a Master. Is Master planning something again..."
