Volume 11: [The Hunyuan Blade Dao]
Chapter (388): [Appointments]

***********************************
Luo Feng looked at the 23 World-Level Hunyuan beings before him, as well as over the ten million high-level Hunyuan lifeforms.
In the future, he would need to rely on these subordinates to manage the vast territories under his command.
The practitioners' territory is too large, and it is foreseeable that as their overall strength increases, the territory would continue to expand!
Countless origin worlds, billions of ordinary worlds, and naturally formed treasure-rich mineral lands- the high-level Hunyuan lifeforms of the practitioners' faction are already very few to manage these territories.
They had to rely on the surrendered "innate Hunyuan lifeforms" to barely manage. After all, the Lords would never bother with such trivial matters.
"This is our first meeting," Luo Feng said with a smile as he regarded his subordinates.
"In the future, if there are important matters, you may report them directly to me!"
All his subordinates listened excitedly, imprinting the appearance and aura of this "black-clad, black-haired man" firmly in their minds. This is the great Lord they would follow from now on.
Among the many high-level Hunyuan lifeforms were also Qiu Ge and Yi Feiya, who had previously guarded the Dark Holy Realm and thus naturally fell under Luo Feng's command.
"It's not even two thousand epochs yet, and he's already a Lord!" Qiu Ge and Yi Feiya gazed at Luo Feng in the distance, feeling as though everything is a dream.
The last time they guided Luo Feng, he was just a Semi-Hunyuan practitioner of the fusion path.
Now, though his appearance remained unchanged, his aura had become boundless, and every word he spoke carried immense pressure.
This is an existence who had comprehended the highest "Dao" of power- the Hunyuan Life-Death Dao is now part of Luo Feng's very being.
The oppressive power such a supreme existence exuded is unimaginable!
Even the hundreds of Hunyuan Ancestors of the innate Hunyuan lifeform faction, who are as strong as the eight lords, could not win.
This alone demonstrates how terrifying the deterrence of a single Lord is on an individual level.
"Your tasks will soon change, and the detailed arrangements will be issued shortly," Luo Feng said.
"The 23 World-Level Hunyuan beings and 'Cheng' will stay. The other high-level Hunyuan being may leave for now."
"Yes."
The over ten million high-level Hunyuan lifeforms bowed respectfully and departed.
They were satisfied after merely catching a glimpse of the Lord's combat clone.
"Cheng is truly lucky," many of the departing high-level Hunyuan lifeforms thought enviously as they glanced at Cheng.
They certainly knew Cheng! Among the ten thousands high-level Hunyuan lifeforms in the Dark World Cluster, Cheng was the most influential. Now, he had even been personally retained by the Lord.
"Follow me inside."
Luo Feng turned and walked deeper into the cave residence, with the 23 World-Level Hunyuan beings and the sole high-level Hunyuan lifeform 'Cheng' following.
"The Lord actually kept me behind? Does he intend to promote me? But I'm only a high-level Hunyuan lifeform..." The thin, elderly Cheng felt both nervous and excited.
"He is also summoned by the Lord?"
The World-Level Hunyuan beings glanced at Cheng and, after a brief investigation, immediately learnt all the details about him.
Tianyue Sea Cave Abode
Luo Feng sat leisurely by a lakeside, observing his subordinates.
"The war between our practitioners' faction and the innate Hunyuan lifeform faction has just ended, and some territories are still being occupied by other faction. We need to reclaim them one by one," Luo Feng said.
"Each of you will bear the responsibility of guarding these regions."
"Yes," the 23 World-Level Hunyuan beings and Cheng responded respectfully. With few World-Level Hunyuan beings , even their main combat clones would have to participate in the defense.
"I have decided on the four regional commanders and nineteen garrison generals," Luo Feng announced.
Given his realm, it had taken him only moments to devise this arrangement based on the existing deployment across the practitioners' territory.
Every high-level Hunyuan lifeform's assignment had been determined.
Even Qiu Ge and Yi Feiya, with whom he had some prior connection, are given significant roles this time.
"I'm a garrison general?" Tianlang Ke received the detailed assignment from the Lord.
As a newly advanced World-Level Hunyuan, Tianlang Ke was among the weaker in his tier and was thus listed as one of the nineteen garrison generals- his authority far below that of the four regional commanders.
"Aside from the borders, my territory will also require three overseers," Luo Feng said.
Instantly, the 23 World-Level Hunyuan beings tensed. The position of territorial overseer is, in essence, acting on the Lord's behalf to govern vast domains. Overseeing over a hundred world clusters came with immense benefits.
"Will I be chosen?" Tianlang Ke felt a flicker of hope.
"The Lord and I hail from the same world cluster, but last time, I didn't visit him, and my strength is lacking..."
Now, he wavered between hope and doubt.
"My territory will be divided into three domains for now," Luo Feng said.
"The First Domain's overseer shall be 'Chen Shi', the Second Domain's overseer shall be 'Zhu Huo', and the Third Domain's overseer shall be 'Guang Yu'."
A bald man, seemingly ordinary with a restrained aura, is in fact the most formidable combatant under Luo Feng's command. 'Chen Shi' had originally been a fusion path practitioner before choosing to refine his bloodline to become a World-Level Hunyuan lifeform. He had selected two diametrically opposed bloodlines, pushing their power to unfathomable heights.
Among World-Level Hunyuan beings in the practitioners' faction, he ranked within the top three. Humble and well-connected, his performance over the epochs had greatly satisfied the Lords. Thus, Luo Feng had chosen him without hesitation.
Zhu Huo, a burly figure clad in deep purple scales, is the weakest of the three overseers, at the late-stage World-Level Hunyuan Realm. However, he had previously served as an overseer with outstanding results.
Guang Yu, a horned man, is at the World-Level Hunyuan perfection stage- second only to Chen Shi under Luo Feng's command.
The three Luo Feng had selected had all proven their exceptional competence in past roles.
"I was chosen." Zhu Huo inwardly sighed in relief.
Just because Yuan had favored him didn't guarantee Luo Feng would do the same.
Yet he had still been selected!
"The Lord likely prioritizes capability over strength," Zhu Huo realized. "To him, there's probably little difference between an early-stage and a Perfection-stage World-Level Hunyuan lifeforms."
After all, his past performance had earned the Lord's satisfaction.
"Not me..." Tianlang Ke felt a pang of disappointment, but he understood. When the Lord had yet to break free from the cage, every single one of the ten thousand-plus high-level Hunyuan lifeforms from their home world cluster had visited- except him.
That had been a blatant snub.
The Lord not choosing him was only natural.
"This Tianlang Ke's nature is too aloof- unsuitable for the role of overseer," Luo Feng thought.
He still held some regard for Tianlang Ke, given their shared origins.
But past incidents had revealed Tianlang Ke's temperament.
He is excessively prideful! Only those stronger than him earned his respect. Those weaker? He couldn't be bothered at all.
Even as a high-level Hunyuan lifeform, he had poor relations with his ten thousand-plus peers from the same world cluster. If he couldn't even respect his equals, how would he treat the truly weak?
Would Tianlang Ke even care?
Such a personality, entrusted with managing over a hundred world clusters? Directly overseeing hundreds of thousands of high-level Hunyuan lifeforms while supervising millions more?
Each overseer influenced over a hundred world clusters. For the sake of the countless weak under his rule, Luo Feng had to be cautious.
In his eyes, compassion for the weak js the foremost requirement for an overseer.
"Cheng." Luo Feng looked at the only high-level Hunyuan lifeform present.
"Lord." Cheng was overwhelmed with excitement at being valued so highly by the Lord.
At this moment, he was willing to die in battle for him.
"The Dark World Cluster is my absolute territory," Luo Feng said. "It needs to be properly developed from now on. You will lead the many high-level Hunyuan lifeforms and oversee the detailed construction efforts."
An absolute territory required some areas to be personally built by Luo Feng, but the vast majority still needed countless high-level Hunyuan lifeforms- and even more captives- to laboriously carry out the work.
"This subordinate will spare no effort," Cheng declared fervently.
"Good." Luo Feng nodded with a faint smile.
Because Cheng had such influence among his peers that's why Luo Feng trusted his organizational abilities.
"Within my domain, 93 world clusters remain under enemy occupation," Luo Feng addressed his subordinates. "The 65 world clusters seized by the innate Hunyuan lifeform faction will be swiftly reclaimed by us Lords. The remaining 28... were taken by two forces- 'Blood Crane Territory' and 'Omino.'"
"Chen Shi, go to Blood Crane Territory and demand the immediate return of the occupied world clusters. If they refuse, simply withdraw," Luo Feng instructed.
"Understood." Chen Shi acknowledged.
"Guang Yu, you will go to Omino with the same demand. If they refuse, do not argue- return at once. Leave the rest to me," Luo Feng said.
The eight Lords had already deliberated on how to reclaim the lost territories.
For the world clusters held by the innate Hunyuan lifeform faction, the Hunyuan Ancestors are unwilling to continue fighting and would not stubbornly defend them.
The eight Lords could easily take them back.
The Ice-peak Faction, which occupied over a hundred world clusters, would be dealt with last- requiring the joint efforts of all eight Lords.
As for the remaining eleven forces, they would first be given a chance to withdraw voluntarily. If they refused to comply, war would follow!
The practitioners' faction had too many factions to confront simultaneously, hence they offer for these eleven forces to retreat willingly.
Among these eleven forces, only two held seats in the Eternal Land, while the others did not.
But lacking a seat did not mean weakness!
Just like five of the Nine Sovereigns- none held seats in the Eternal Land, yet their strength is immense.
The two forces Luo Feng intended to deal with- "Blood Crane Territory" and "Omino"-both had deep foundations. Otherwise, they would not have dared to exploit the chaos.
For instance, the "Omino" faction had once ranked among the top three forces in the Infinite Hunyuan Space in the distant past.
Later, they were crushed by the innate Hunyuan lifeform faction- scattered, killed, or fleeing- and now retained only a fraction of their former strength.
"I hope these two forces will recognize the situation wisely," Luo Feng thought.
.........
Practitioners' Territory, Dark World Cluster, Origin Continent- Origin World.
"So this is the Origin Continent?" Xu Xin stood high above the Huyang city, gazing at its bustling streets.
After Luo Feng took control of his home Origin world, Xu Xin had become like a "favored child of the origin world"- untouched by any law, immune to harm, and even capable of wielding a trace of the origin world's origin power.
"Luo Feng, what level have you reached now?" Xu Xin looked at him, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Not long ago, Luo Feng had lifted all restrictions on her knowledge, allowing her to learn any secret without hindrance from the supreme laws.
"You could say I've reached the highest level among practitioners- a Lord," Luo Feng replied.
"A Lord?"
Xu Xin, having just absorbed this information, couldn't help but exclaim, "From what you've told me, even a God Emperor is still trapped within the cage! Only by breaking free can one become a high-level Hunyuan lifeform, a World-Level Hunyuan, and finally- the highest, a Lord. And you've already become a Lord?"
To her, it all felt like a dream.
"Morosa." With a thought, Luo Feng summoned him.
Morosa appeared out of thin air. When he saw Xu Xin, he was stunned- he knew the mistress is extremely weak and shouldn't have been able to survive in the Origin Continent's environment. Yet now, just facing her... he felt an overwhelming sense of threat.
The natural power she carried seemed capable of crushing him effortlessly.
"Morosa greets both masters," he said respectfully, bowing.
Luo Feng glanced at him.
As a boundary Beast, Morosa was originally bound by fate to perish alongside the destruction of his origin world.
But now that Luo Feng controlled the origin world, Morosa had broken free from that destiny.
Even if he died, Luo Feng could resurrect him.
"Within our home origin world, I can now resurrect any life still trapped in the cage," Luo Feng said.
"So we need to finalize the resurrection list."
Both Xu Xin and Morosa were astonished.
Resurrection?
Luo Feng already had a plan. He would draft his own list.
His wife, Luo Ping, Luo Hai, and their closest relatives would also have the authority to submit names- representing Luo Feng's personal circle.
Original Ancestor, Chaos City Lord, Hong, Thunder God, and Zhen Yan King would compile another list, representing the human faction from the original universe.
Morosa, his master Di Chu, and Master Zuo Shan Ke would form yet another group, submitting their own list.
Di Qing, Di Ming, Di Fu, Mo Yu Qingyan, Di Chu Yu, and others would also have advisory rights.
"T/N: Finally! Most awaited moment has arrived!"
In the future, the Origin Continent- origin world would require a balance between these three factions.
