Chapter 1351: Confirm Location! The Eternal Star Alliance

"Finally, congratulations on becoming a member of the Eternal Star Alliance's core tier."

The golden-robed lord's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

Everyone present was extremely excited.

Finally!

The Genius Battle is over—we can finally enter the Eternal Star Alliance's headquarters to cultivate!

The golden-robed lord soon departed, leaving only Xu Jingming and these more than a thousand young men and women waiting on the square.

"From now on, we're all peers—come on, let's add each other's contact info."

"I heard Star Dome Academy is packed with strong ones; I was just thinking of forming a battle team."

"Haha, me too—let's add each other as friends."

"......"

After the lord left, the young geniuses quickly became lively, exchanging friend requests and contact details.

Among them, Xu Jingming and Roy, ranked first and second in the Starlight Tier, were naturally the two most sought-after.

Likewise, Yue Ying and Beth, both tall and stunningly beautiful, also had many approaching them to add friends.

Xu Jingming, of course, did not refuse.

After all, having more friends couldn't hurt.

"Xu Jingming, you're strong."

"I hope that after we enter Star Dome Academy, I'll get another chance to fight you."

Roy, usually cold and distant, came up to Xu Jingming and sent a friend request.

Xu Jingming paused slightly, then smiled and accepted the request:

"Your Destruction Dao is stronger—I only won because of my bloodline. Another fight's fine."

He spoke the truth.

If Roy weren't just ordinary human bloodline,

the outcome of that final battle might have been uncertain.

"Lost is lost—I won't make excuses."

Roy shook his head.

"Xu Jingming, you bastard—I never expected you to hide so many cards! "

"I'm convinced this time, but this is just the beginning."

"Once we reach Star Dome Academy, I'll catch up."

"But since we're peers, let's add friends first—easier to stay in touch later."

Yue Ying, her silver hair flowing like a waterfall, stepped forward with steps like moonlight and sent a Virtual Universe friend request.

This proud elven princess

had fully accepted defeat after Xu Jingming revealed his full power in the final match.

After all, the gap was simply too great.

Of course, only for now—she was confident she could reverse the tide after entering Star Dome Academy.

"Didn't expect you'd ever admit defeat."

Looking at the princess who now sincerely conceded,

Xu Jingming felt a surge of pleasure, then added her contact.

"My lord Lei Di, mind adding me? "

"Of the four of us, I'm the only one who hasn't fought you—I'm curious about your strength."

Beth also approached, her pearl-like skin glowing softly under the starlight.

"Sure."

Xu Jingming accepted everyone without refusal, adding nearly all their contact details.

Soon after, the contact person the golden-robed lord mentioned arrived.

"Hello, all the prodigies—I'm Mo Duo."

He was a man three meters tall, slender and lean, smiling at the group:

"Since all of you will be going to the Eternal Star Alliance's headquarters—the Star Dome Academy—"

"We need to arrange a starship to pick you up."

"Please enter your exact planetary coordinates on the interface before you."

Shhh—

Holographic interface projections appeared before each prodigy.

"If the ship comes to pick us up, how long will the journey take?"

Xu Jingming didn't immediately input his planet's location—he asked instead.

He didn't know how long he'd stay at the Eternal Star Alliance headquarters before returning.

If the journey took long enough, he wanted to go back to Blue Star for a while.

"The travel time varies depending on your home planet's location."

"For example, Lord Xu Jingming, your home—the Noah Empire—"

"From our Eternal Star Alliance headquarters to any planet within the Noah Empire's territory takes only two months."

Mo Duo replied respectfully.

In strength, he was a Cosmic-tier expert.

Yet before these top-tier geniuses, he showed extreme deference.

Before Xu Jingming could speak, the other geniuses around him were stunned:

"Only two months? Are the headquarters of the Eternal Star Alliance and the Noah Empire really that close?"

You should know that even a ten-times lightspeed ship equipped with a curvature drive

would need two whole months just to travel a little under 17 million light-years.

Not even enough to fly out of a single high-grade civilization's cosmic nation.

Even with the help of a cosmic stargate, it probably couldn't cover more than 50 million light-years.

"The straight-line distance between the headquarters of the Eternal Star Alliance and the Noah Empire is two billion light-years," Mo Duo replied respectfully.

"Two billion light-years in just two months? What kind of super black tech is this?"

Yue Ying widened her moonlit eyes in disbelief.

This time, even Roy and the others showed faint signs of shock.

Two billion light-years, even with a ten-times-light-speed ship equipped with a warp engine, would take twenty years to traverse.

Twenty years? Two months?

They are not even in the same category!

"This time, the Eternal Star Alliance has assigned the Limit S1 starship, capable of thirty times the speed of light, to pick up all of you geniuses.

Its flight speed is extremely fast, combined with a warp engine.

Only by using our Eternal Star Alliance's private star gates—closed to outsiders—can we achieve the speed of crossing two billion light-years in two months."

Mo Duo explained.

"S1-class starships! You're assigning one thousand S1-class starships for one thousand geniuses!

Excessive! Too excessive! The Eternal Star Alliance truly lives up to its status as the pinnacle of human power."

Eva couldn't help but marvel; Xu Jingming was equally stunned.

His teacher Lu Wen possessed only an S1-class starship himself.

That means, just for this pickup and drop-off,

the Eternal Star Alliance has granted all of us Starlight-class geniuses the treatment befitting Immortal Gods.

As for the cosmic star gates,

the Eternal Star Alliance is the creator of cosmic star gates.

If they wished, they could indeed manufacture many private star gates for their own exclusive use.

"No wonder everyone wants to join the Eternal Star Alliance.

This level of treatment and black tech is impossible for any high-civilization cosmic empire."

Xu Jingming had a premonition that, once he entered the Star Dome Academy, he would encounter even more new technologies.

After confirming he had enough time to return to Blue Star, he quickly entered his home planet's location on the interface before him:

"Star Torch Empire—Ling Shu Empire—Noah Empire—Milky Way—Blue Star"

"I have received the planetary coordinates of all of you. The Eternal Star Alliance will immediately arrange your transport ships.

You may view your ship's real-time location within the Virtual Universe.

When the ship is about to arrive at your planetary location, you will be notified in advance.

Also, one more reminder:

Your journey to the Star Dome Academy for cultivation will last, at minimum, several centuries, and at most, several millennia—even ten thousand years.

You may not see your family or friends for a very long time.

Please make good use of this final period..."

As Mo Duo finished speaking, the geniuses present fell silent.

Indeed, if they wished to return without the S1-class starships and private star gates provided by the Eternal Star Alliance,

the journey would take decades—making reunion nearly impossible.

"Everyone, I'm logging off! See you at the Star Dome Academy!"

"Haha, I'm going too! Goodbye, everyone!"

"See you at the Star Dome Academy!"

"......"

The geniuses began logging out one by one; Xu Jingming likewise exited the Virtual Universe.
