Chapter 128: with translation of chapter title

Only the paper read: "Qian Wu Universe Country, Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, Qiu Long Star".

Xiao Yu, Hong, and Luo Feng, together with their families, are currently on Qiu Long Star; filling in this address is convenient for both parties.

Virtual Universe staff collect each talent's planetary address mainly to enable the Virtual Universe Company to calculate the optimal transport plan, guaranteeing that 1,000 talents can safely arrive at the Virtual Universe Company's Universe-wide Headquarters on the same day.

The Virtual Universe System, after gathering the data, determined that the entire journey would consume roughly three years.

To know that among these 1,000 talents, the farthest is 1.5 billion light‑years from the Virtual Universe's Universe-wide Headquarters, yet it only takes three years—truly terrifying.

This time the Virtual Universe Company assigned every talent an F‑class Spaceship, and moreover a special internal model of F‑class ship whose technology far surpasses the F‑class ships of all Universe Countries.

"Everyone, the prize money for the top thousand in the Talent War is now being distributed; you can check it when you get back," the staff said.

Xiao Yu, as the first to receive a prize, got 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units; Luo Feng, among the top ten, received 1,000 Mixed Yuan Units; Hong, within the top thousand, got 10 Mixed Yuan Units.

After the dissolution, Xiao Yu and the others left one after another.

After Xiao Yu left, his consciousness re‑entered the Virtual Universe and appeared directly at the bound point—Heilongshan Island's Ziming Bay, within the castle garden.

"Xiao Yu is back!" a maid inside the castle shouted loudly.

Xiao Yu smiled and walked into the castle.

"Xiao Yu, the Cosmic Star River Bank sent an email; your account has been upgraded to Four-star Level!" Wu shouted loudly.

During this period Xiao Yu was not on Heilongshan, while Wu was having a great time in the Virtual Universe, touring almost the entire Heilongshan Island and spending a lot of Heilong Coins.

As Xiao Yu's smart lifeform, all of Wu's expenses are naturally regarded by the Virtual Cosmic Network as Xiao Yu's expenses and are not prohibited.

"Received the email sent by the Virtual Universe Company," Wu reminded.

"What's the content?"

"The Virtual Universe will pick you up on Qiu Long Star in 12 days to take you to the Virtual Universe Company's Headquarters; the journey takes three years, after which you will cultivate for 30 years in the Initial Universe. The time flow rates differ between the Initial Universe and the Original Universe, so 30 years in the Initial Universe equals 100 years in the Original Universe," Wu briefly summarized the email.

"Hmm, I understand," Xiao Yu nodded, "Also, didn't I previously create 13 various artifacts? Keep the soul‑type artifact, keep two others, and entrust the rest to the Cosmic Star River for auction."

"Alright, I'll contact them right away," Wu replied.

Xiao Yu entered the tea room, prepared to rest for a while, and was ready to break through to Universe-level; his comprehension already meets the breakthrough requirements, and he also possesses the martial secret method for breaking through to Universe-level.

"Little brother, I heard you're back! The master just let me return, and I've been exhausted these past days," Xiao Ling entered the tea room, complaining.

Now Xiao Ling and Xiao Yu's other brothers and sisters have been absorbed by the Qian Wu Secret Realm, training alongside each Immortal.

"Are the current cultivation tasks that tight?"

"The talents in the Qian Wu Secret Realm are too strong; if we don't fight, we can't keep up. I can't lose face in front of your Galactic Lord!" Xiao Ling laughed. "But Lei Shen is also in the Qian Wu Secret Realm, so we have some support now."

"Sister, if you lack anything, just tell me; your little brother is now wealthy," Xiao Yu smiled, "By the way, I left two treasures for you on Qiu Long Star; come over when you have time."

When Xiao Ling reached Planet-level, she gained a special wind‑type ability; Xiao Yu prepared two artifacts for her. Xiao Yu has not yet comprehended the Origin Law of Wind, so he cannot forge wind‑type artifacts, and instead prepared a time‑type artifact and a single‑use artifact.

The single‑use artifact is grenade‑shaped and can create a spatial crush zone with a 500‑kilometre diameter in front of the user.

It does not require the Space Origin Law to trigger; only the Universe Primordial Force is needed, and once activated, friend and foe are indistinguishable.

Xiao Yu's parents also hurried over.

"What, Xiao Yu, you're going to be gone that long!" Mother Xu Jingyi exclaimed upon learning Xiao Yu would be away for over a hundred years.

"It's indeed a long time," father Xiao Dingguo added.

"Mom, Dad, even in the Initial Universe we can still meet within the Virtual Universe!" Xiao Yu whispered reassuringly.

"Second Uncle, Aunt, even if Xiao Yu can't return often, I can still come back occasionally!" Xiao Ling also comforted them.

Xiao Yu felt uneasy, but leaving home was worthwhile for strengthening himself; in the following days he transferred the control rights of some slaves he had previously purchased to his parents, and introduced them to the person in charge of the Cosmic Star River Bank who helps him manage his star system.

Leaving for over a hundred years entails many matters to settle.

Five days later, Xiao Yu, inside a massive building near the docking port of Qiu Long Star, handed over ten artifacts to the Domain Lord responsible for the handover.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, may I ask who forged these ten artifacts you're auctioning?" the White‑Robe Domain Lord smiled.

Xiao Yu gave a mysterious smile and did not answer: "Hurry and arrange the auction! Also, have the Universe Crystals I wish to cash out been brought over?"

The White‑Robe Domain Lord waved his hand, and a Space Ring flew toward Xiao Yu.

"The Universe Crystals worth 1,000 Mixed Yuan Units that you wish to cash out are all inside the Space Ring."

This time, the other side gifted Xiao Yu a Space Ring with a volume of at least one billion cubic units, without asking for it back.

"Thanks!" Xiao Yu took the Space Ring.

Of the 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units he obtained this time, he entrusted 5,000 Mixed Yuan Units to Luo Hua for management.

…

Inside the cultivation chamber.

Xiao Yu sat cross‑legged.

"The system absorbs the 1,000 Mixed Yuan Units of Universe Crystals inside the Space Ring."

【Absorbing 1 billion cubic meters of Universe Origin Energy Crystals, gaining 10 million Wish Gold Coins.】

"The system will elevate my genetic tier by a factor of 100 within three days."

【40,000 Wish Gold Coins have been deducted.】

Waves of Space‑Time Law fluctuations enveloped the entire cultivation field, then surges of blood‑red energy bearing unfathomable Secret Patterns poured into Xiao Yu's body, penetrating deep into his genes and soul, continuously reshaping and optimizing him at the core.

Xiao Yu felt the entire transformation lasted at least a month before ending.

【The wish has been fulfilled!】

Xiao Yu stood up, glanced at the Smart Light Brain, which displayed the date September 14, 2071.

"It's only been three days, why does it feel like a month passed!" Xiao Yu wondered. "Wu, what's going on?"

"Time indeed passed a month, but the Smart Light Brain just synced and updated the time after connecting to the network," Wu said softly. "In other words, you spent a month in the training arena, but only three days passed in the outside world."

Could it be Space‑Time Acceleration!

After a brief adjustment and extracting a large amount of Universe Crystals, Xiao Yu began breaking through to Universe-level.

Within his dantian space, nine micro‑stars rapidly expanded; in a short instant their volume grew tenfold, soon reaching their limit.

Bang!

The core's biggest star exploded abruptly.

Later.

The other eight miniature stars exploded in succession, turning into countless star fragments, even forming massive dust nebulae; after a long time, everything returned to calm.
