Chapter 194

"Mm." Yun Duo nodded indifferently. "Lian Huo, are you still serving as a fleet commander here? You've been at it for over two hundred years, haven't you? Why not move to a new spot?"

Lian Huo replied respectfully: "It is all by the Council's arrangement. Wherever I am, I serve the Empire."

"Alright, once identification is complete, hurry up and let us through."

"Yes."

The phantom of Lord Lian Huo vanished.

"Good heavens, that's a Silver Moon-tier Lord? He's actually so respectful toward Lord Yun."

"Lord Lian Huo of the Langya Galaxy? I heard my father mention him; he's been here for hundreds of years."

The geniuses were all whispering; clearly, they could feel the power of the Yun family.

"This Lord Lian Huo seems like an easy person to talk to."

"A good person?" Yun Duo sneered. "If you hold that mindset when you go to the Origin Realm, you won't even know how you died."

"Don't look at how respectful Lord Lian Huo is, or how nice you think he seems."

"That is only because of me."

"When this person first entered the Origin Realm, he had quite a few lives on his hands."

"He even specifically tricked newcomers who had just arrived, all to earn a few more Origin Crystals."

Yun Duo warned: "Zhao Xing, as an S-grade contract holder, you can claim a batch of Origin Crystals for free once you enter. This is a perk for being a super genius."

"Your free quota is 1,000 Origin Crystals."

"The others only have 10."

"In the Origin Realm, basically ninety percent of things are at the Extraordinary tier or above."

"You must keep your wits about you and not get swindled."

Zhao Xing was stunned upon hearing this: "There's such a thing? Specifically swindling the Origin Crystals from newcomers?"

"Heh, the Origin Realm is far more complex than the Primordial Realm. Most people there have come down from the battlefield; there are those with dark hearts, those with impure motives... in short, there are all kinds of people."

"They spend thirty or fifty years of military merit just to get in and break through their cultivation realm."

"Some of the crazy ones will even risk everything, even killing their own companions!"

Everyone felt a tightening in their hearts. Killing companions?

"The death rate in the Primordial Realm is no more than 3%, but in the Origin Realm, the death rate can reach as high as 20%!"

"Some die at the hands of powerful indigenous lifeforms, while others die at the hands of their own kind."

"However... the shelters are absolutely safe, and there are also powerful individuals patrolling the 108 planets."

"They forbid those powerful individuals from entering low-level areas."

"Once discovered, they are immediately expelled from the Origin Realm."

"If someone is caught hunting their own kind, there are also extremely terrifying punishments."

"But above the Extraordinary tier, the range of activity for troops is vast, making it very difficult to confirm who did the deed."

After hearing Yun Duo finish, all 47 of them, including Zhao Xing, felt heavy-hearted.

Once out of the Primordial Realm, society was indeed much more complex.

…………

After the spaceship entered the halo, it quickly emerged from the other side.

"Hum~"

Everyone felt their bodies sink, a dull sense of oppression permeating their entire being.

The obvious change in gravity caused many students to experience slight discomfort.

Zhao Xing also felt that the world rules around him seemed to have changed significantly.

"We've arrived. This is Shelter 108." Yun Duo pointed to a space city not far outside the porthole.

"Newcomers who haven't reached the Extraordinary tier stay in Shelter 108 when they come in."

"Currently, only Planet 108 has the lowest level of danger."

"Because it was born only a few tens of millions of years ago; for a planet, this can only be considered a newborn."

"The level of indigenous life inside is relatively low," Yun Duo said.

"If it were one of the higher-ranked planets, with their incredibly long histories, the lifeforms born there would not only reach the Void tier, but also possess their own civilizations!"

Void tier, and they possess their own civilizations?

Everyone was shocked.

"Once you reach the shelter, just find any unoccupied room to stay in. Once you move in, that house will temporarily belong to you, free of charge."

Boom~

As the spaceship landed, the 47 Lords who had not yet reached the Extraordinary tier were dropped off.

"Good luck to you all." Yun Duo waved his hand, turned around, and piloted the spaceship away.

…………

"Zhao Xing," Mo Luo asked, "what are your plans?"

"Find a place to settle down first, then exchange my free quota," Zhao Xing said.

"That's right, this dump provides nothing, they only give us 10 Origin Crystals."

"And there's no teleportation gate. If you want to go to Planet 108, you have to rent a spaceship or a landing pod, which costs 2 Origin Crystals each time!"

Mo Luo complained frantically.

Once you enter here, everything uses Origin Crystals as currency.

Anyone who dares to say they'll pay to buy something will definitely be ripped off, and might even get swindled.

It was obvious that this was all to force them into action.

"You've got it good, though." Mo Luo looked at Zhao Xing with envy. "You start with 1,000 Origin Crystals."

"It won't last long, either."

The forty-seven mid-to-high-tier Lords arrived at the shelter's hall and collected their free quota of Origin Crystals.

"So many powerful individuals."

"So many Extraordinary Lords?"

Everyone had their eyes opened.

Ninety percent of those who came here were at the Extraordinary tier or above, having exchanged military merit for the opportunity to enter.

Along the way, they had already seen quite a few Star-rank Lords.

At the same time, these people were also a bit curious when they saw Mo Luo, Zhao Xing, and the others.

"A bunch of little guys below the Extraordinary tier?"

"Wonder how much of a free quota they have in their hands."

Gazes looked over one after another.

"Little brother, want to team up with me? I'm at the Extraordinary peak. I can lead you all to search Planet 108; you'll definitely make a profit."

"Little guy, want to buy some treasures? For 10 Origin Crystals, you can exchange for a bottle of holy water that can help your troops advance."

Quite a few Extraordinary-tier Lords crowded over.

However, these geniuses weren't stupid. After Lord Yun's warning, they all avoided these people from afar.

They quickly exchanged their Origin Crystals and left.

"Brother Zhao, we're going to find our people. Farewell."

"Brother Zhao Xing, take care."

The forty-six geniuses still held Zhao Xing in high regard.

Before separating, they all took the initiative to say goodbye.

"Take care, everyone."

Zhao Xing knew that these geniuses from various planets all had arrangements made by the powerful figures from their homelands.

The initial stage of a genius's entry is very difficult; being in an unfamiliar place makes it easy to encounter danger.

Blue Star was no exception.

After Mo Luo entered the virtual world for a while, he said to Zhao Xing:

"Zhao Xing, I've contacted an exploration team; they have an acquaintance of my father's."

"For the first year, I'll be hanging out with them. How about you?"

"I have one too," Zhao Xing smiled slightly. "I won't be joining you."

"That's true. Alright, then farewell." Mo Luo smiled, waved, and left.
