Chapter 70

In the Cosmic Starry Sky, a huge star, like a fireball, continuously radiates light and heat.

A silver-gray spaceship swiftly flew past an asteroid about 8 kilometers in diameter.

Inside the spaceship.

In a lounge, a handsome middle-aged man sat in a chair with his eyes closed; an indicator light on the auxiliary optical computer on his wrist faintly glowed, showing that a trace of the captain's consciousness had already entered the 'Virtual Cosmic Network'.

"'Beep.' the spaceship could only sound an alarm."

The handsome middle-aged man opened his eyes, his consciousness withdrawing from the Virtual Universe.

"'Captain Pura, we have detected that a life-bearing planet named 'Earth' in the void region of the galaxy we are about to explore has just been purchased by an Imperial citizen named Xiao Yu.' the ship's intelligence reported."

"'What? It's actually Earth! Atuka, send me the data of this planet.' Pura exclaimed in surprise."

Inside the spaceship, a three-dimensional virtual image of Earth was immediately displayed.

"'This is the planet; legend says it was once dominated by an invincible powerhouse, and now that it has a lord again, it means the original invincible powerhouse is gone, so there may be some precious treasures on this planet.' Pura said."

"'Atuka, gather all the crew for a discussion.'"

The adventure team's usual mode is to distribute shares according to each member's gains, and naturally they must also discuss important matters together.

Soon, a sturdy, burly crew member with black hair on his face, resembling a chimpanzee and about 2.2 meters tall, walked in.

Afterward, seven more crew members entered one after another, and Captain Pura announced that Earth had been purchased.

"'Everyone, I've explained the situation: Earth may have treasures, but is it protected by Imperial law? We now have only three options: one, go explore another life-bearing planet instead of Earth; two, report the matter to the clan and let the clan chief decide; three, we secretly go explore.' Captain Pura said."

"'Let's vote!'"

"'Captain, I think we should still notify the clan,' the burly man said."

"'Captain, I think we should still explore another life-bearing planet,' a female martial artist said."

"'Notify the clan.'"

"'Notify the clan.'"

"'Let's go explore ourselves.'"

"'Notify the clan.'"

"'Notify the clan.'"

"'Notify the clan.'"

"'Captain, according to the vote, six people agree to notify the clan,' Atuka reported the vote results."

"'Good, Atuka, inform the teacher,' Captain Pura said."

In the cabin.

Pura quickly connected his consciousness and entered the Virtual Universe.

A luxurious three-story garden villa, its walls covered with thriving flowers.

In one of the quiet rooms.

"'Beep, beep, beep...'"

Pura stood in the quiet room, waiting silently; a screen appeared before him, blank.

Suddenly, a square-faced, burly man appeared on the screen, his ears pointed, obviously of the same race as Pura.

"'Teacher!' Pura bowed respectfully."

This is Pura's teacher, and also the current clan chief of the Nuolan Mountain Clan, Yuke Nuolan Mountain.

"'The situation, I understand. You now need to raise the space merchant flag, go probe the situation, and if you find any treasures, report immediately.'"

"'Yes, teacher.' Pura replied respectfully."

Swish!

The figure on the screen disappeared.

——

In outer space around Earth, a silver-gray spaceship emerged from the dark universe and then flew straight toward Earth.

Inside the lunar far-side Earth-Moon defense base.

"'Beep!'"

"'Alarm!'"

"'Alarm!'"

"'Unknown spacecraft detected! Unknown spacecraft detected!'"

"'Immediately issue a warning to the other party and notify Xiao Wu.' Legislator Jia Yi said."

After the Solar System defense system was completed, Jia Yi was assigned to be in charge of the lunar defense base; of course, there are also several Heimon tribe slaves and more than twenty War God-level martial artists working as staff.

Over the past year or so, planetary-level martial artists on Earth have exceeded a hundred, with most reaching the fifth or sixth tier of planetary level, and the total number of apprentice-level martial artists surpasses one hundred million, approaching two hundred million.

——

In the dark universe, aboard a hundred-meter-long, pitch-black spaceship.

Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen sat in their seats with eyes closed; the indicator lights on the Consciousness Sensing Helmets of Luo Feng and the other two kept flashing green, showing that all three had already entered the Virtual Universe.

In the Virtual Universe, inside Xiao Yu's castle.

In the sunny living room, Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, and the other two were sitting opposite each other, drinking freely.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in Xiao Yu's mind: 'Xiao Yu, Earth has detected a merchant spaceship coming for inspection.'

Having just become Earth's lord for a day, a merchant has arrived; it seems either they have been watching for a long time, or they are colluding with officials.

The former is very likely Pura of the Nuolan Mountain Clan; as for the latter, it's hard to say.

"'Old Three, what's happening?' Hong asked."

"'A spaceship has just arrived at Earth, claiming to be merchants,' Xiao Yu said."

"'Just now, Babata also told me this; I feel it doesn't quite seem like merchants. What kind of merchant moves this fast!' Luo Feng said."

"Our D9 Ji Feichuan still needs a whole day to get back! How could the merchants be this fast!" Lei Shen said.

"Whatever it is, just send someone to feel out the situation first." Hong Dao said.

"Hmm, I think the same; let's send them to Mars, that way our secrets on Earth won't be exposed easily." Xiao Yu said, then to Wu: "Notify Xiao Wu; this arrangement is fine, and for now don't move them."

Although it's highly likely to be the Nuo Lan Shan family, they haven't committed any offense yet, and as the Earth lord I can't act rashly.

—

The gray starship arrived at Mars under escort by two C9-level disc-shaped vessels.

"This time we were truly lucky; we actually didn't get caught in the spatial turbulence," Pu La still felt a bit uneasy.

Earlier, through family connections, we thought we had bought Earth's coordinates from an official of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, assuming we could go straight there, but emerging from the dark universe we unexpectedly encountered spatial turbulence.

Fortunately, they arrived safely.

"Captain Pu La, we've already gathered information on powerful individuals on Earth via the network: the Earth lord, a suspected Stellar-level Warrior, entered the universe a year ago, purchased nearly ten thousand Stellar-level slaves, distributed across bases on Earth, the Moon, Mars, the asteroid belt, Venus, and other planetary bases," A Tu Ka said.

Three-dimensional virtual projections continuously displayed relevant information about Earth; although the locations of the Earth-Moon defenses were still unclear, the dozens of C9-level laser cannon barrels on the outskirts of the Mars base gave him a fright.

Pu La himself is only a Stellar-level Ninth Tier Warrior; even though he possesses a Domain, he cannot withstand the power of a C9-level laser cannon, let alone the many Stellar-level Ninth Tier Spiritual Mind Masters and Warrior slaves on Earth.

Moreover, there are two C9-level starships behind us.

All of this left him astonished; Xiao Yu, a Stellar-level native, somehow possesses such wealth—if anyone says there are no treasures on Earth, they'd be lying.

"A Tu Ka, send the gathered information to the teacher exactly as it is," Pu La said.

Please give monthly tickets!!! Please recommend!!!
