Chapter 202: Establishing the Divine Kingdom

"Your mindset is still the best, big brother!" Luo Feng praised, "When the Virtual Universe Company assigned me the task back then, I hesitated for a long time."

"Xiao Yu, your email," Wu reminded.

Xiao Yu immediately opened the email; there was a letter sent by the Chaos City Lord, and its content was only two characters: "Approved."

"How's it look?" Luo Feng asked.

"Good news," Xiao Yu said with a smile. "The teacher only sent two characters—'Approved'—meaning the plan I proposed will be carried out."

…

The next day, Xiao Yu returned to the massive palace on Thunder Island.

"This meeting could only proceed so smoothly thanks to the Lord of Darkness," the Chaos City Lord said, flipping his hand, and a document appeared before Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu opened the document from start to finish, then exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher, you even secured 100 Heavy Treasure Points for me."

"I mentioned that you can forge top‑grade Heavy Treasure armor, otherwise it wouldn't have been approved so easily," the Chaos City Lord smiled, "After you complete your life‑and‑death trials and return to the clan, it probably won't be this leisurely."

"Little Mo, how is it here?" Xiao Yu asked, hovering in the starry sky.

After millennia of development, Earth's humanity now spans the entire Silver‑Blue Empire.

Xiao Yu solemnly signed his name.

The Immortal Venerable also did not send any further email.

"The Virtual Universe Company truly kept its promise; the Earth Business Alliance Company obtained management rights, so I no longer have to worry about the lives of Earth's people being disturbed," Xiao Yu observed everything.

The contract was simple: lease half of Earth's 360 million square‑kilometer maritime area—i. e., 180 million square kilometers of sea and the corresponding airspace above—to the Virtual Universe Company.

Three days later, Xiao Yu received the 100 Heavy Treasure Points and immediately transferred 20 trillion Mixed Yuan Units to each of Hong, Luo Feng, and Lei Shen.

A month later, Xiao Yu boarded a starship to a mineral system; within a radius of 100,000 light‑years there were no inhabited planets nor significant mineral worlds, so strong beings rarely passed through, and the chance of conflict was low.

As for the Heavy Treasure Points, Xiao Yu did not dare to transfer them yet, fearing they would bring trouble to the recipients. As long as they kept it secret, no one would know.

The Virtual Universe Company will assign its first‑level subsidiary, the Earth Business Alliance, to handle management.

…

The Virtual Universe Company is extremely efficient; using Divine Kingdom teleportation, it dispatched massive forces to Earth, immediately began constructing a floating city, and also built a temple at the fringe of the Solar System's starry sky, a structure nearly comparable in size to the Sun.

From now on, Xiao Yu will receive substantial annual dividends from the Earth Business Alliance Company, and he plans to allocate a portion to cultivate practitioners of the Earth Lineage.

Xiao Yu waved his hand, and with a casual slash of his palm‑blade, his combat power surpassed that of a typical Realm Lord's peak warriors by thousands of times.

"Good."

He needed to choose a site for the Mo Cloud Vine to establish a Divine Kingdom, and this place was suitably appropriate.

"Earth isn't just mine; it's everyone's," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

On Earth, another familiar Seal King Strong One, Meng Te Wan, was also stationed as a guardian.

Having signed the contract, they naturally acted according to its terms.

"Wow! Why did you transfer so much money to me!" Luo Feng was the first to arrive at Xiao Yu's manor, and Hong followed shortly after.

"Rip!"

Space was sliced open like a piece of cloth.

A spatial fissure appeared; Xiao Yu stepped through, and together with the Mo Cloud Vine, entered the space stratum directly.

Within the space stratum lay endless space fragments.

The space stratum is divided into millions of layers: the first is the Turbulent Space Layer, the second is the Divine Kingdom Layer, the third is the Space Torrent Layer, and countless others follow.

Constructing the Divine Kingdom must occur within the Divine Kingdom Layer of the space stratum; the first requirement is remoteness, the second is cost‑effective teleportation considerations.

The space stratum is extremely dangerous, becoming more perilous the deeper one goes,

Xiao Yu swiftly flew toward the deep interior of the space fragments, covering a distance of billions of kilometers in a single flight, which took ten days.

"Little Mo, how's it here? The space fragments are large enough," Xiao Yu smiled.

"It's fine." A crystal‑clear Mo Cloud Vine floated beside Xiao Yu. "Master, I'm ready to begin constructing the Divine Kingdom."

The Mo Cloud Vine instantly locked onto a distant space fragment about 30 million kilometers away, drawing its internal world closer to the fragment.

As if heaven and earth collided, the two continuously drew together and merged.

Within the space fragment, a world gradually emerged, solidifying, and in a moment it fully manifested.

Divine Kingdom formed!

The Divine Kingdom's diameter is under 100,000 kilometers, but it will continue to devour space fragments and grow larger.

With the Divine Kingdom completed, a person and a Mo Cloud Vine flew out of the space stratum, and the spatial fissure was repaired.

"Little Mo, I've exchanged materials worth a hundred billion Mixed Yuan Units for you; first enter your internal world. Oh, give me a few leaves, and I'll set the coordinates," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

The crystal‑clear Mo Cloud Vine extended a main vine, and several hundred leaves imbued with Immortal divine crystals appeared in Xiao Yu's hand. He stored these leaves inside the Space Ring.

He then boarded a starship back to Mars, placed a Mo Cloud Vine leaf into the Space Ring, and subsequently sent the ring into the depths of a lava cavern.

Xiao Yu secretly returned to Earth to accompany this family.

"Mom, Dad, this time I'll stay home and spend more time with you, but please keep it quiet—don't even tell my younger siblings," Xiao Yu warned, fearing that news of his presence at home might reach the Alien Tribe and cause unnecessary trouble for his family.

"Xiao Yu, you really need to stay home for several more years," his mother Xu Jingyi said, her eyes moist.

Though they can meet within the Virtual Universe, they cannot see each other constantly; often months or even years pass between meetings.

After three thousand years without returning home, Xiao Yu plans to properly accompany his family, and during that time Meng Te Wang will occasionally visit.

"Meng Te, do not disclose my whereabouts to anyone," Xiao Yu instructed.

Meng Te promised, saying that only his teacher would know of this matter.

Within Xiao Yu's internal world, the Thousand Vine Star‑Eating Grass continuously devours various materials, and after thirty years many of them ascend to Immortal Level; during this period Xiao Yu traverses the cosmos far from Earth, building Divine Kingdoms in remote corners of humanity's interstellar domains.

He also placed the grass's leaves at thousands of coordinate locations.

After completing the placements, Xiao Yu returned to Earth and left a Thousand Vine Star‑Eating Grass within the family.

"Little Food, guard the family for me; if anything happens, send me a message and I'll come at once," Xiao Yu said, looking at the towering crystal‑clear Star‑Eating Grass beside him.

"Don't worry, master," the star‑eating grass kept swaying its vines.

During this period, the ones that grew were not only the star‑eating grass but also Xiao Yu himself; after using up all the treasures previously exchanged that could increase soul power, Xiao Yu's Core sprouted an external 7,000‑layer structure, lacking only the final 3,000 layers, and Xiao Yu's Primordial Soul's third layer achieved great completion.

The soul power required for the final 3,000 layers will be ten times what was previously consumed.

If all were exchanged using Universe Crystals, it would require 30 trillion Mixed Yuan Units; the treasures that can boost soul power are extremely rare, and even with money they cannot be bought.

Moreover, over these thirty years, Xiao Yu fused another 30 Divine Crystals; in total he has fused 50 time crystals and void crystals, and the Space-Time Origin's resonance increased fiftyfold, a fiftyfold boost on the foundation of Realm Lord Level law comprehension.
