?Chapter 335 – Florida Billionaire Announces His Retirement and Passes His Forklift Certificate to His Daughter. She Eats It.

Not a split second passed, but a lone Florida Man was by himself, working behind the scenes to make the universe a better place. He removed newborn planet eaters and erased their souls, preventing them from coming back to life again.

Erasing someone was easy, but making sure that no neutron star would mutate into planet eaters was a challenging task. Leo finished removing planet eaters without dropping a sweat, but vaccinating a star core was energy-consuming – It required Leo a minute of his time to correct a star core's growth and expanding direction.

At the corner of the universe, a rural galaxy averagely consisted of 200 billion stars. Further into the center of the universe, galaxies, and star clusters were older, and their numbers were greater. Every galaxy had at least a trillion stars in their domain.

This didn't include private universes belonging to entities and karmic sovereigns. If they brought out their stars, the number would be higher.

Leo swallowed his pain and vaccinated the stars around the Prismatic Void Tree first.

2,000 years in Leo's time passed. Leo finished cleaning the billionth star, and he was mentally exhausted. He started to question why he was doing this when he could simply kill all planet eaters instantly.

He quickly changed his mind later when he returned to the Prismatic Void Tree and gazed at the expressions of the Alraunes. They might be naughty, lewd, and gluttonous. However, their smile reminded Leo of Cat and Esen back home. His heart palpitated, reminding him what he was working for.

Leo brightly smiled and clapped his hands. Motivated and determined, Leo resumed the cleansing process.

Although Leo promised Esen that he would only experience a few thousand years in this time-frozen universe, he ended up working in isolation for 10,000 years. Whenever he doubted his sanity or missed his wife, he simply returned to them to admire their faces. Then, he went back to work.

In the 20,000th year, Leo shifted his attention to the karma river to change the mood.

Fortunately, as Leo had multiple karma rivers inside him, he had experience of governing and tampering with the rivers before. He simply exchanged this universe's karma rivers with his and converted all souls to be linked with him. From that day on, whoever was reincarnated would have their fate linked to Leo. No matter what they did, they couldn't become stronger than him.

It was a tyrannical move, but this method was faster than manually fixing the chaotic rivers. After all, correcting a karma river in one's dantian universe was a lot easier.

His action caused the universe to start mutating new souls to have a tinge of Leo's bloodline and legacy. Most of them would inherit a lizardman or an alligator's instinct. As for the minority, they would carry on a prismatic phoenix bloodline, an angel bloodline, a fenrir werewolf bloodline, a cathulhu bloodline, or a void tree bloodline.

After leaving his seeds and legacy, Leo stopped working. He peeked into the future to make sure that his work would eliminate undesirable futures.

It worked. All dreadful and tragic timelines vanished, replaced with hopeful and joyful futures. Though conflict would never end, evildoers would eventually perish while Leo's friends and family would thrive. Main characters, heroes, and saviors would rise amid the chaos.

Even though he hadn't vaccinated all stars in the universe yet, he let fate work its way. Satisfied with his work, Leo resumed the flow of time and returned home.

While returning home, Leo looked back to the past timelines and noticed some inconsistencies. For example, Meowmeow knew about his future and that he would marry Esen. Also, there were strange prophesies about the four guardians' fates.

Killing his time while cruising home, Leo scanned his past to find the source of the weird prophesies. He wondered which time lord tampered with his fate.

It wasn't hard for Leo to find the culprit. Upon noticing the mysterious entity, Leo gazed at the Prismatic Void Tree and uttered his name.

"Dammit Void Principality. You knew about my emergence all along."

There was no answer from the mysterious entity. Leo smirked and shook his head.

"If you don't come down, I'll go up and find you."

Again, the entity didn't respond to Leo.

Leo changed his plan. He resumed the time flow to relieve the burden. Then, he grew a prismatic leaf from his fingertip.

DING

<Confirming the dimensional teleportation. Would you like to enter the Great Void Universe?>

Before Leo could utter a word, an archaic voice entered his mind. It was from the mysterious entity.

"I'll be visiting your domain and answering your questions in 100,000 years. Wait for me there."

Leo spat, "What if I go up myself?"

"You will destroy my universe. The Great Void Universe might be above you, but that doesn't mean that all residents here are cultivators like you. Some of us are mortals."

"Hoh?" Leo heard something interesting. He refuted, "But I already visited your universe several times before. Haven't you noticed my arrival?"

"You didn't. You probably went up somewhere other than my universe. Also, last year, I sensed that two of the great voids collapsed because someone tampered with their timelines. Was it you?"

Leo paused and averted his eyes. He flop-sweated.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Void Principality deeply sighed. He warned Leo, "I know that your strength already surpasses us, the Singularities. I will invite others to visit your 'Stores' later. For now, spare us, please."

Leo finally laughed. He was also relieved, "That's more like it. I thought for a second that you were looking for trouble."

"…"

"Tell me when you will be arriving. I'll hold a banquet to welcome you."

"…Many thanks."

The two lords continued exchanging pleasantries and chatted for a long time.

The death of planet eaters' souls didn't end the looming chaos. As only their souls were erased, their fleshly bodies remained. As a result, lucky passing-by wanderers harvested their bloodline and brought the whale's meat back home. As a consequence, planet eaters would be born from the residents of the universe, not from the stars.

Overlord Lucky was a part of the fortunate ones. He found a corpse that Leo had left behind and gave them to his subordinates.

Upon consumption, the werewolves realized that they gained new innate power. They reported this matter to Overlord Lucky and spread the news to Milo's men.

This caused an internal strife between Milo and Lucky. Milo who coveted Overlord Xiaomao's fishing rod began poaching Lucky's subordinates and initiated his crusade against the Cathulhu.

9 years after Leo had adjusted the Karma Rivers, the grand war between Milo's crusade army and the Cathulhu broke out.

Because of Milo, Lucky had no choice but to join the war. Armies of ragtag remnants of dead overlords gathered and invaded Overlord Xiaomao's territory.

The peace-loving big-head cats didn't expect the sudden invasion. Several habitable planets were destroyed and a billion innocent cats were murdered. This enraged Overlord Xiaomao.

Despite being almost out of lifespan, Xiaomao joined the war and asked Priscilla and Ellen for assistance.

…

Florida Planet

It was already midnight. All small stores in the main town were closed, but "Cat Mall" aka the first shopping mall branch that Cat managed was still open. The general manager of this place was none other than Cat.

The dryad in question was 10 years old this year. Despite being young, her humanoid physique looked the same as an adult. Her tanned skin, elf ears, and gorgeous face earned her the "Goddess of Florida" nickname. Men worshiped her as she was the most beautiful lady in this world, surpassing Beatrice and Esen.

Countless young adults wished to pursue her, but no one dared to do so because of Cat's current social status as Leo's adopted daughter. In addition, there were also other factors.

First, Priscilla arrived 9 years ago and submitted to Leo. They merged their forces and created formed a new country in this universe, which centered on the Florida Planet. They renamed their entire galaxy as Florida Galaxy. After they integrated their armies, Priscilla revealed herself as Leo's foster mother, increasing the fame of his family. As a result, Cat's status improved.

Secondly, Simba and Ester retrieved their son back and served Leo as an external army, guarding the entire galaxy against external threats. As they knew about Cat and Leo's weird bloodline, they left behind some of their dragonewt legions to protect Leo's headquarters. An all-female dragoon unit served Cat as her bodyguards, and no one was weaker than a karmic sovereign.

And lastly, Cat was no longer a deadweight. After receiving gifts and food from Leo, her cultivation caught up with the past him – the Transcendence Realm Level 10. Aside from Simba, Aslan, and Leo, nobody could defeat her in a 1v1 fight.

Cat was tired from the long day of work. She opened her system menu and deposited half of this month's total income to the "Family Pool", which Leo had created to share between his family members in case of emergency.

DING

<You have transferred 60 million years of lifespan.>

Cat stretched and yawned, ignoring a lone A4 paper that Leo had written. "STOP POCKETING MAD COW BEEF" was the message. She had been embezzling the shopping mall's income because of her glutton, and Leo kept reprimanding her.

"Time to hunt some cows, meow."

Cat left her office on the fifth floor and visited the store next door. Upon entering an office-like store, she was teleported to a mystic realm platform.

It was a plane in the middle of the void, but a hundred red portals were also active, allowing the visitors to play in the monster realms.

Cat ejected a prismatic void leaf from her storage ring and walked toward one of the portals. She paid the fee to the employee, who was a stone elf.

"Your Highness, please refrain from killing all mad cows in there. We've received complaints from our customers that they can barely hunt because you hogged all the monsters to yourself." fre(e)webno(v)el

"Ehhh?" Cat pouted. "But I need to nom-nom, meow."

"P-Please, Your Highness."

"Meh, fine. I won't eat cows today. I'll go eat some angler fish in the Mariana Trench Realm."

The elf let out a sigh of relief. She nodded and guided Cat to the new portal.

While the elf guided Cat to the new place, the princess suddenly flinched. She rushed out to the exit and teleported back to the shopping mall in urgent.

Upon return, she sensed a spaceship fleet traveling across the universe toward Leo's galaxy. She got out of the shopping mall and flew to see them.

When Cat reached the fleet, she found a few dragon warships under Simba Army escorting the group. She sent a voice transmission to ask the soldiers.

"What happened here, meow?"

A few seconds later, the captain of the escort ship replied.

"Your Highness, we're escorting war refugees. They're Cathulhus under Overlord Xiaomao. A-Also, Overlord Xiaomao is here with them."

"Xiaomao, who?"
