Chapter 431: Why is my job panel in an anime art style? Chapter 200

~11 min read 2,167 words

Situations like theirs, where they returned continuously in a short period of time, were extremely rare even looking back over the past few hundred years.

But the three of them had reasons why they had to do so.

The only female Speaker present looked through the container at the boundless void, a dim light faintly flowing in her eyes.

After a long while, she said softly: "The anchor point has returned to the main universe, but I can't find where he is; besides the main universe, there is something else obscuring his existence."

"..."

Hearing this, the other two couldn't help but show some confusion on their faces.

After experiencing an incredibly long time together, the three of them had long been of one mind, so no one in the main universe understood the woman's abilities better than them.

You must know that even if placed in the Boundary Sea near the main universe, her observation ability was enough to rank among the top.

Before the two could say anything, the woman shook her head slightly: "The interference of the main universe is too severe; I can only see a few ripples."

"That is...?"

As she spoke, several ethereal milky-white clouds were reflected in her eyes, and it was these clouds that, with the help of the main universe, were obscuring the existence of the anchor point.

"Equipment? Job ability? Or racial trait?"

Unfortunately, until the clouds dissipated, the woman could not distinguish what their essence was; she only knew that they were things she had never seen before.

With some regret, she let out a soft breath and spat out a few bubbles in the solution.

"It seems we can only let the major star regions slowly investigate."

"No matter, we still have plenty of time; I just hope he is not in the Imperial territory."

"Let's hope so..."

The three Speakers were not the type to be long-winded; since they judged that they couldn't find the new anchor point in the short term, they naturally wouldn't continue to waste time.

As the three closed their eyes, the space became quiet again, with only the light green energy flashing from time to time in the pipes connecting the containers proving that this place was not unchanging.

On the other side.

The 【Star-Patrolling Palace】 carrying the Emperor of the Empire cruised among the stars, spreading his majesty to every piece of the Empire's territory.

Pao hid in the shadows of the main hall, quietly watching the supreme Emperor.

The Empress already knew about what happened a few days ago, but she didn't say much, instead having her maidservants send over several noble ladies she was on good terms with.

But this did not make the Emperor feel happy; those noble ladies were dealt with by Pao before they even saw his face.

As an old man who had witnessed the Empire develop step by step to this point, he knew this behemoth like the back of his hand, and naturally noticed the extremely divisive political atmosphere in the Empire over the last few hundred years.

The Emperor and Empress were not in harmony.

If one had to say, it was that the Empress's personality was too strong, giving her subordinates an opportunity.

If this continued...

Forget it, he was just the Grand Steward of the Imperial Household; why think so much?

Thinking of this, Pao shook his head slightly, burying the thought just now deep in his heart.

Based on his understanding of the Emperor, he should have been prepared long ago.

It was also at this time that Pao noticed the Emperor, who was enjoying the service of beautiful dancers, suddenly waved his hand to dismiss everyone, and then frowned and fell into deep thought.

As an eighth-level job-holder, Pao naturally knew why the Emperor would show such an expression.

'Is there actually something in this world that His Majesty cannot see through...'

A thought that surprised him somewhat rose in Pao's mind.

Although he was very curious, he knew what should be asked and what should not, so he just lowered his eyelids slightly and pretended to see nothing.

Unfortunately, he was not the only one paying attention to His Majesty at this time; presumably, the Empress would arrive here before long.

Thinking of this, Pao sighed silently and decided to dismiss some of the maidservants in the palace.

Forget it, save as many as one can; in any case, His Majesty wouldn't blame him for such a thing.

With the improvement in strength, the discomfort brought by the 【Traveler】 talent had become smaller and smaller.

After a dizziness that was almost imperceptible, Li Ang appeared in the 【Alchemy Kingdom】.

And the first thing he did upon returning to the main universe was to use 【Daluo Cave Observation】 to ensure that the base camp had no problems.

Seeing that the 【Alchemy Kingdom】 was exactly the same as when he left, Li Ang let out a soft breath.

But just as he was about to put away 【Daluo Cave Observation】, two gazes that made his hair stand on end swept over his location from nowhere.

Li Ang subconsciously tensed his body, continuing to maintain 【Daluo Cave Observation】.

'... hat's the situation?'

Fortunately, these two gazes did not stay for too long and soon disappeared.

Even so, Li Ang still maintained 【Daluo Cave Observation】.

'Tsk... This feeling, how is it even more terrifying than Afra?'

If one were to ask who was the strongest person he had met since becoming a job-holder, it was undoubtedly the councilor of the Obsidian Star Region, 【Deep Cold Loop】 Afra Haywood.

But compared to the pressure brought by the two gazes just now, this female brat councilor was no different from a child.

'Eighth level? Or ninth level?'

'Coming for world ownership?'

Li Ang thought with a dark face; this was already the most reasonable explanation he could think of, but it seemed that his refusal of Afra's invitation earlier was indeed correct.

Fortunately, for some reason, the owners of those two gazes didn't seem to have discovered his existence.

'Is it because of 【Daluo Cave Observation】 and 【High-Dimensional Life · Pseudo】...'

Li Ang was now a bit glad that he didn't look down on the Eight Wonders just because he had changed his job to 【Sage】, and had learned a trick from Gu Qimachi.

After a while, he gradually relaxed his body, but still maintained 【Daluo Cave Observation】.

Although Li Ang could no longer sense those two gazes, when facing eighth or even ninth-level job-holders, one could not be too careful.

Anyway, for him, maintaining 【Daluo Cave Observation】 for a long time only required consuming some mental energy, which was not a big burden.

'But I was discovered as soon as I came back; it seems the other party can detect the anomalies when the 【Traveler】 talent is activated.'

'Will my traveling back and forth to the Under One world attract attention...'

Thinking of this, Li Ang frowned slightly.

He was a bit uncertain about this; after all, it was highly likely that this situation had something to do with world ownership, and before this, activating the 【Traveler】 talent had never attracted attention.

The good news was that it didn't matter if he didn't return to the Under One world in the short term; after all, the Star Shepherd race still needed a long time to develop.

However, even without this matter, he wouldn't stay in the Under One world for a long time.

After obtaining half ownership of the Under One world, he could no longer trigger major events in it.

After all, for the Lord of the World, how big of a thing could count as a major event?

If he wanted to continue to start new journeys to improve his strength, he could only return to the main world to stir up trouble.

Of course, if it weren't for 【Daluo Cave Observation】 and 【High-Dimensional Life · Pseudo】, Li Ang would only find a place to hide and slowly develop.

As for now...

Recalling that he had only experienced five worlds and had already reached the fifth level, Li Ang couldn't help but stroke his chin.

At this rate, wouldn't he reach the ninth level after experiencing four more worlds?

Well, that might be a bit too optimistic; after all, the higher the level of the job, the harsher the job-change conditions, and he would probably need to spend a lot of time to become a top-three-level job-holder.

'Forget it, thinking so much now is useless; let's finish the 【Star Shepherd】 job change first.'

Thinking of this, Li Ang took a light breath to control his emotions, and then lifted the closed state of the 【Alchemy Kingdom】.

The first to notice the change in the 【Alchemy Kingdom】 was naturally Octavio, whom Li Ang had already made into a 【Pseudo-Servant】.

The knight clad in black armor appeared before his master with just a flicker.

He knelt on one knee and lowered his head respectfully: "Master, you have come out of seclusion."

"Hmm, has there been any situation on Morabis Star recently?"

As he spoke, Li Ang casually threw 【Imperial Selection · Star Piercer】 to him.

In the Under One world, he had already completed the analysis of this weapon and successfully endowed 【Declaration of the Great God】 with a new concept.

Facing the dark golden spear thrown at him, Octavio showed no sign of panic on his face, just steadily catching it.

However, as soon as he touched this weapon that had accompanied him for many years, he noticed something wrong.

Something seemed to have been added to the spear.

Before he could react, he heard Li Ang say: "I strengthened it for you while I was at it; you shouldn't mind, right?"

"This..." Hearing this, Octavio was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Your generosity moves me; I swear by this spear that before I fall, no existence will touch your noble body."

"..."

To be honest, Li Ang, who was not a knight, couldn't understand the thoughts of these people, but it didn't prevent him from feeling that the other party was an extremely qualified subordinate.

Arthur was like this, and Octavio was the same.

Speaking of Arthur, after Octavio appeared, the two of them often sparred.

It was just that one couldn't release the Sword of Promised Victory, and the other had lost his main weapon, so they barely fought to a draw.

Not knowing what his master was thinking, Octavio put away 【Imperial Selection · Star Piercer】 and began to talk about the recent situation on Morabis Star.

During the time Li Ang was away, this plant planet had not had any major events.

Except for the addition of two giant dragons.

"... Aeon Logistics】?"

After listening to Octavio's account, Li Ang showed a thoughtful expression; he didn't expect this group of cosmic wanderers to take the initiative to find him.

As for what their purpose was, he would know as soon as he saw them.

Just as Li Ang was about to set off to find the two giant dragons mentioned by the black-armored knight, he suddenly thought of something and asked with some confusion: "What do you mean by a mentally retarded dragon disturbing the residents?"

"... think it's better for you to see it for yourself."

Octavio showed an expression that was hard to describe.

"..."

Seeing this, a sense of unease rose in Li Ang's heart, and then he disappeared from where he was.

By the time he reappeared, he was already in the Governor's Mansion above the ground.

"Hahaha! Do it again, do it again~ Sophia~"

Listening to this huge sound that even the Governor's Mansion couldn't block, Li Ang was stunned.

He naturally had already seen who the owner of the voice was, and also saw what the other party was doing.

But is this really a giant dragon?

In Li Ang's line of sight, an incredibly massive black dragon was chasing a metal ball on the wide plain outside the Governor's Mansion.

If the dragon were replaced by a dog, this scene might not be a problem.

But...

Even though Li Ang was well-informed, he couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by this scene.

And he also discovered that the black dragon would occasionally steal two mouthfuls of dirt while chasing the metal ball.

Are the giant dragons of 【Aeon Logistics】 so poor that they have to eat dirt? Logically speaking, this universal giant enterprise should be very rich.

After a brief silence, Li Ang flashed and appeared beside a tall, mature woman with dazzling rainbow-colored long hair.

The other party was the one throwing the ball for the black dragon, and she was also a giant dragon.

"You must be Sophia, right?"

The sudden voice made the mature woman tremble, and even her chest heaved violently.

However, Sophia, a high-level giant dragon, quickly steadied herself and turned her head to look at her side.
