"Shanhai, what's the matter?"
"Any movement from the Black Robes?"
After dismissing his clones, Lin Feng assumed Shanhai had come to report on the Black Robes.
"There has been movement. I've returned to this universe now!"
"What?"
Lin Feng, perplexed, located the clone Shanhai.
Good heavens, it was less than a light-year away.
"What's going on? Elaborate!"
Shanhai pondered for a moment.
"Check your memories yourself. I can't explain it clearly."
"Alright!"
Lin Feng was curious about what had brought Shanhai back to the Marvel universe. Without delay, he closed his eyes and began to sync the memories.
The memories started from when Lin Feng had left. Shanhai had followed Li Xieqian back to the territory controlled by the Golden Silver Tree faction.
Such factional groups were common among all villain organizations.
There was no need to scrutinize other details. Lin Feng focused on information regarding the Black Robe organization.
Li Xieqian had assigned Shanhai five missions, each receiving a perfect evaluation. Shanhai had become a favored individual in Li Xieqian's eyes.
Furthermore, Li Xieqian seemed inclined to hand over some responsibilities and daily tasks to Shanhai.
Shanhai had been quite clever about it.
Shanhai's strength was not to be underestimated. His future achievements would undoubtedly surpass Li Xieqian's.
The old fox had seen this clearly and knew it was wise to foster a good relationship now.
Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to this. He wasn't genuinely planning to remain within the Black Robes.
Shanhai's memories also included maps of the Golden Silver Tree region and the organizational structure of most Black Robe members below the first sequence.
It was intricate and presented in a tree-like diagram.
Amazing, my clone.
Lin Feng was slightly surprised. Shanhai had indeed done a commendable job.
I must say, worthy of me!
Continuing to review, Lin Feng saw the three Black Robes he had encountered at the Mofulmo transit star.
Heh, the coincidence was amusing to Lin Feng.
The three Black Robes he had previously scared away actually belonged to the Golden Silver Tree's jurisdiction.
This was truly an unbelievable coincidence.
And even more coincidental events were yet to unfold. As Lin Feng delved deeper, Shanhai's conversation with Li Xieqian synchronized into Lin Feng's mind.
!!!
Oh, this...
This time, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh.
What in the world? To have his own clone investigate him? What was he thinking?
This was too dramatic, like a spy thriller!
No wonder Shanhai had returned without any apparent reason. He had just been thinking that reporting back wouldn't necessitate returning to this universe.
So that's what was going on...
Shaking his head, Lin Feng chuckled.
This whole situation was utterly baffling.
It was even better that a clone was monitoring him; it allowed him to transmit false information.
If it had been someone else, Lin Feng might not have had such an easy time manipulating the situation.
Li Xieqian was truly a divine assistant, eagerly offering Lin Feng a golden opportunity!
"How was it? Interesting?"
After waiting for Lin Feng to finish syncing his memories, the clone Shanhai playfully teased.
"Indeed. I didn't expect Li Xieqian to be so audacious in his actions."
"In that case, you can stay and relax. Take a break and have some fun."
Clones also had their own thoughts. It was a good opportunity to give Shanhai a vacation.
As for periodically sending back information, Lin Feng would decide what to transmit.
Ah, just a minor skirmish.
With Shanhai taken care of, Lin Feng could finally rest.
He had been running around quite a bit lately and needed a few days of peace to recharge his spirit.
Now, all he had to do was patiently wait for news from his clone.
The four clones sent to retrieve fragments of the Universe Heart hadn't succeeded yet, but it was only a matter of time.
Lin Feng checked on their progress. No problems had arisen, only that they needed to fulfill some requirements derived from the Universe Heart fragments.
Lin Feng already possessed three fragments of the Universe Heart.
Returning to Blue Star, it was just past noon.
Lin Feng took a deep breath.
Despite having visited so many life-bearing planets, Blue Star was still the most reassuring. It would always be the most special life-bearing planet in Lin Feng's heart.
"Susan, I'm back!"
He called out instinctively upon returning to the villa.
Then, he remembered that Susan usually didn't come back at noon.
He was alone at home again.
Never mind.
Lin Feng sat on the sofa, picked up Susan's tablet, and searched for recent events on Blue Star.
He wanted to know if anything interesting had happened on Blue Star lately.
Blue Star had been well-protected by Lin Feng, and the timeline had been thoroughly muddled. Fortunately, no disasters had occurred.
Strange now wore the Time Stone, but the Ancient One had not chosen death as in the original story.
Lin Feng didn't know if his many alterations to the plot would provoke the cosmic will.
But he didn't care. He could destroy universes, why would he care about the cosmic will?
If it could cause him some trouble, it would be impressive.
"Huh?"
Lin Feng's hand paused as he scrolled through the tablet.
Wakanda, Black Panther, deceased.
These words caught his eye.
T'Challa?
Lin Feng conjured the image of Black Panther in his mind.
He had died? How?
He scrolled down, finding detailed information about Black Panther's death.
Lin Feng felt a touch of emotion as he read but didn't dwell on the matter too much.
Wakanda was rich in Vibranium, but Lin Feng had had almost no contact with Wakanda or Black Panther since his arrival.
He had only seen the Black Panther movie before, which had sparked his thoughts...
Tossing the tablet aside, Lin Feng closed his eyes to recuperate.
Even as a Silver Superman, his stamina and spirit were almost inexhaustible.
But Lin Feng did experience mental fatigue. At times like these, he needed to return home to replenish his energy.
He touched the wristband on his hand.
The invisible wristband, with its three intertwined galaxies, was constantly enhancing Lin Feng's soul strength.
With a mere flicker of his will, a transparent mist emanated from Lin Feng's body.
Soul manifestation.
Lin Feng's soul, with his eyes closed, slowly ascended and floated in mid-air.
Compared to Doctor Strange's soul manifestation, Lin Feng's soul appeared more solidified.
In his soul state, Lin Feng's five senses were enhanced to a certain degree.
The galaxy wristband on his wrist also transformed into miniature galaxies, revolving around Lin Feng.
Under the influence of Blue Star's life magnetic field, Lin Feng accelerated the absorption of the starlight particles.
The sensation was incredibly comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring.
Strength and rest, both achieved!
Thus, Lin Feng gradually entered a state of semi-sleep.
Outside, the sun shone brightly, but inside the villa, it was dark, filled with countless twinkling stars.
It looked profoundly mysterious and fantastical.
