Chapter 131

After thorough research, it was finally confirmed that the Void Zerg clone, possesses a genetic level 280 times greater than normal! This is 28 times higher than that of the Flame Star Beast, which is known as the pinnacle bloodline of Star Beasts!

The Void Zerg clone, being a flesh-and-blood creature, is capable of cultivating "The Secret of Nine Tribulations" to continually enhance its genetic level. Due to its high base, once it succeeds in the first stage of cultivation, its genetic level can increase by 840 times—a truly terrifying leap! In contrast, the Flame Star Beast clone only improves by 30 times after cultivation.

This demonstrates the frightening power of special life forms in the universe. The greater the foundational difference, the more the strength will grow over time. Moreover, special life forms evolve much faster than ordinary beings. While higher-bloodline life forms face challenges in reaching immortality, special beings, favored by the universe, find it much easier—though they still require a deep understanding of the laws.

It's foreseeable that the Void Zerg clone will become one of Wang Yi's most formidable assets in the future, likely surpassing both the Flame Star Beast and his human body.

...

After successfully creating his second clone, Wang Yi requested permission from the Dry Witch Secret Realm to visit his hometown and reunite with his family. While such requests are rarely granted, Wang Yi's current status and importance within the Secret Realm were exceptional. As the most promising genius of the Dry Witch Secret Realm, his request was approved, though limited to one year. He was required to return in time to compete in the upcoming human peak genius competition.

Concerned for his safety during the journey, they assigned a World master, ten domain masters, and a thousand elite Universe warriors as his escort. This level of security matched that of the core members of the Virtual Universe Company—an honor reserved for the highest-ranking figures.

Though Wang Yi had not yet officially joined the Virtual Universe Company, his status far surpassed that of most leaders within the Dry Witch Secret Realm. Many immortals in the realm believed that Wang Yi was well on track to make it into the top ten of the universe's elite geniuses, with a strong chance of being admitted to the Virtual Universe Company's Prime Secret Realm or perhaps even the Original Secret Realm.

With the approval granted, Wang Yi wasted no time. That very day, he packed his belongings, boarded the F-class spaceship provided by the Dry Witch Universe Kingdom, and departed from the Secret Realm. Though this ship wasn't quite as advanced as the ones used by the Virtual Universe Company, which could reach 50 times the speed of light, it could still fly at 30 times the speed of light, allowing Wang Yi to return to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire in just over ten days.

On January 18, 2066, at 12:30 PM China time, outside the solar system, ripples appeared in the starry expanse as a blue triangular spaceship materialized, heading toward the solar system.

Inside the ship, Wang Yi stood alongside Andre, the World master sent by the Dry Witch Universe Royal Family to accompany him. Standing in the central control room, Andre smiled. "Is this your homeland, Your Highness?" Even though Wang Yi had not formally joined the Virtual Universe Company, his status within the Secret Realm demanded respect, and Andre referred to him as "Your Highness."

"Yes, after being away for so long, I've finally come back," Wang Yi said, feeling sentimental.

Andre continued with a smile, "Your Highness will have the chance to reunite with your family this time, but after you triumph in the upcoming competition and join the Virtual Universe Company's core, it may be a long time before you can return again."

Wang Yi nodded, his gaze fixed on the starry sky outside. That was precisely why he was so eager to return home now. If he didn't come back this time, it might be an unbearably long period before he could see his family again in the real world.

For someone like Wang Yi, who had only lived for a little over twenty years, this thought was difficult to accept.

...

Earth had undergone significant changes. With Wang Yi's help, warriors had risen in number worldwide. The expansion of the warrior class, a well-established training system, and the abundant resources available had greatly accelerated the development of human elites. The number of warriors had exceeded 100 million and continued to grow. More than a thousand human planetary level powerhouses now existed, giving humanity a considerable advantage over the monsters. Monsters no longer posed a threat to the base cities, which had been clearing them out in large numbers. The base cities had expanded, and breeding grounds for large carnivorous monsters had been established in the former wilderness regions. If the population wasn't still relatively small, they might have even started building cities on the ocean.

The few remaining wilderness areas on land had become places where human warriors continued to venture for training and self-improvement.

A blue triangular spaceship soared through the atmosphere and hovered over Yangzhou City in Jiangnan Base City. Wang Yi, dressed in a dark red shirt, and a black-robed, kind-faced old man with a Greek hairstyle disembarked.

The rest of the escort remained on the spaceship, not following them.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yi felt the familiar air of his homeland, and a surge of emotion welled up within him. "Finally, I'm home."

In the outskirts of Yangzhou City, at a castle, Wang Yi's parents, wife, and children awaited him in the courtyard, with a large number of servants and guards standing respectfully behind them. A few Universe servants glanced upward.

A red streak of light descended from the sky, transforming into Wang Yi.

"Master!" The castle's guards and servants bowed deeply in respect.

Ignoring them, Wang Yi moved straight to his parents, gently embracing them.

"Smack!"

"Hey, Dad, don't hit me," Wang Yi said, rubbing his head helplessly.

"You still remember how to come home," his father scolded angrily.

"Good hit," his mother added.

Wang Yi chuckled wryly. They met often in the Virtual Universe—why were they acting like this now?

But then again, the Virtual Universe could never replace reality.

"I'm back," Wang Yi said, hugging his three wives, receiving a few playful pinches on his waist.

Finally, his attention turned to the eleven children standing behind them, varying in height.

One, two, three, four... eleven in total, no more, no less.

Wang Yi beamed with pride, like a farmer admiring the crops he had nurtured. These eleven were his precious treasures.

The children, ranging from five to eight years old, looked absolutely adorable in their fancy clothes, exuding a sense of privilege.

"Dad," called out Wang Ping, Wang Yi's eldest son, and soon all the other children chimed in.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

The Wang family was immersed in joy.

Meanwhile, Andre hovered in the air, smiling as he watched Wang Yi reunite with his loved ones. His expression shifted slightly as he noticed two figures approaching: a bald man in white and a casually dressed man with short hair.
