Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Count Lin Zhen

Translator: 549690339

When Lin Zhen became a wanted criminal, he had already left the Aurora Planet, rushed out of the atmosphere, and headed straight for the satellite here.

There is also a wormhole above the satellite, which leads to the satellite of Jade Star, and it has not been discovered yet.

The progress of technology and cultivation on the Aurora Star are similar to that of Earth, and it is also considered a native planet in the eyes of the people of the Tianhe Empire. In fact, it is slightly inferior to Earth.

Lin Zhen thought of the guard's face and couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that the guard who had been domineering on the Aurora Star might have never encountered such a setback.

"Beep! Master, please note that the Qingniao City Police Station on Aurora Star has listed you as a wanted criminal and is launching a global manhunt for you…."

Such want notices issued by native planets can't be delivered to the entire Tianhe Empire, and the notices only apply within their home planet. Lin Zhen laughed and didn't care much. He would come back here one day and resolve the matter then.

Perhaps this warrant could even have some use in the future.

Soon, he reached the satellite. The satellite was extremely cold, but Lin Zhen could withstand a hundred degrees of cold, and quickly found the wormhole and plunged into it.

A few minutes later, Lin Zhen appeared on the satellite of Jade Star.

This satellite is a desert planet, with no atmosphere, and not suitable for development or habitation. The wormhole is located in a hidden sand dune.

Lin Zhen burst out of the sand dune and raced towards the vast blue planet in the distance.

That was his destination, the capital star of the Tianhe Empire located more than 30,000 light-years away from Earth in the center of the Milky Way, Jade Star!

Jade Star is an incredibly massive planet, with fifty percent of its surface covered in water, and it was once famous for its abundance of jade.

The diameter of this planet is twenty times that of Earth, and it is home to a population of 300 billion people.

People from various civilizations in the Milky Way gather here, forming a complex ethnic composition in the capital.

The entire planet could be considered a city, with no hostile forces, only the rich and the poor, the upper class and the lower class, the powerful and the powerless.

The royal family are the top people on this planet, the nobles constitute the upper class, the citizens form the middle class, and the poor make up the lower class.

As for slaves, they are merely tools at the disposal of others.

Many people who have no worries about food and clothes choose to live here to enjoy the happiness brought by the Dimensional Universe. They can live at home and have a life expectancy of at least a thousand years as long as they are citizens. They spend most of their time in the Dimensional Universe.

Even many people live, marry, and start businesses in the Dimensional Universe.

This is a perfect world where one can watch operas, watch arena competitions, enjoy the delicacies and beauties of various civilizations, and even play games for hundreds of years.

However, recently, in the small circles of the upper class, a piece of news has been circulating on a small scale.

A Martial Artist named Lin Zhen from the Solar System has achieved nine consecutive victories in battles!

Although nine victories may be insignificant, the opponents Lin Zhen has defeated are all strong.

As long as one can provide him with a noble identity chip, a hundred citizen chips, or ten thousand poor chips, he can fight a match in the arena for you.

His promise to you is that he can defeat any opponent in the Star Realm Stage.

This slogan is big and arrogant enough, but it's also eye-catching.

Some people have already tried and verified that this man's strength is indeed extraordinary. He has defeated Mida from the Lyra constellation and subsequently defeated five other super experts in six battles.

Those who can be called super experts are those who have achieved a hundred consecutive victories in the arena.

Many people even believe that Lin Zhen could achieve a thousand consecutive victories in the arena.

However, there are also many who are not convinced, and they've been looking for experts to challenge Lin Zhen everywhere. In their view, there should be no invincible generals in this world. No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone who can restrain you.

However, the person to restrain Lin Zhen hasn't been found yet.

"Brother Lin, have you arrived?"

Shangguan Jiao excitedly asked Lin Zhen inside the Dimensional Universe.

"What, the Count title for the Crown Prince is ready?"

"Of course it's ready! We've verified the wormhole you told us about, and my father reported it to the Emperor. Emperor Long Juetian was overjoyed and not only heavily rewarded my father and me but also rewarded you. I told him that you were the first to discover the wormhole, and the Emperor has already agreed to make you a Count. He even feels that the Count title is too low for you, and he has awarded you 10 billion Tianhe Coins!"

"Ten billion!" Lin Zhen was overjoyed.

"Haha, what a surprise, you're quite something, kid. Not only did you get the title of Count, but you've also made a fortune. With this 10 billion, even on Jade Star, if you were to live frugally, you could still last a thousand years without any problems."

Lin Zhen was also very happy, as his gains over the past few days had indeed been very big.

With continuous victories, not only had he made a name for himself, but he had also gained the title of Count.

He insisted on having the title of the Count because only the Count could grant the knight's chip, and any title less than that could not issue the aristocratic chip.

In the nine battles, besides Mida's battle, he had won four noble chips, 200 citizen chips, and 20,000 poor chips.

In the next few days, he wanted to win more chips so that when he returned to Earth, he hoped he would at least have 1,000 citizen chips and 100,000 poor chips in hand.

Of course, this still wasn't enough, but he could always enter the Dimensional Universe and have many chances to obtain chips.

On the other hand, the reward of 10 billion Tianhe Coins was definitely significant. He had a lot of things he wanted to buy but couldn't afford, but now it was all on the schedule.

"Crown Prince, I've arrived on the outskirts of Jade Star. Because I'm new here, I'm a bit lost."

"Ah, you've arrived? Your speed is really fast. Come on, come to the east of Jade Star, the coordinates are 8954.5477. Come straight to the Shangguan Prince's Mansion, where many friends are waiting for you, and your Count chip will be issued here."

Lin Zhen set the coordinates on the spaceship and started flying towards them.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Zhen finally found the coordinate location.

The so-called Prince's Mansion was actually a huge suspended residence!

Or rather, it was a huge castle-like spaceship, powered by Energy Blocks, constantly hovering here, ready to leave at any time.

Steering the spaceship through the aerial streets, Lin Zhen arrived at the front of the Prince's Mansion.

Stepping on thin air, Lin Zhen took a long breath. He had been to Jade Star in his previous life, but he didn't expect that when he came back, it would be a lifetime later.

No wonder citizens of at least Star Realm Stage could walk in the void. People here strolled in the void as casually as people walked in parks on Earth.

Because the air in the sky is good, citizens have the right to live in the sky, and most of the civilian houses are also in the sky. Many places on the ground are where the lower-class people live.

When Lin Zhen came to the front gate of Shangguan Prince's Mansion, he was just about to knock on the door when it opened.

Two rows of beautiful women, all of Star Realm Stage strength, stood on both sides, wearing cheongsam with slits reaching up to their chests, and all bowed to Lin Zhen: "Greetings to Count Lin Zhen."

Lin Zhen touched his nose, these beauties, even if they couldn't reach Yue'er's level, were close. They were all top beauties from various races in the Milky Way.

These two on the left, with their hot figures and fair skin, had fluffy fox tails behind them that could be retracted at will. They were the Heavenly Fox beauties, said to have a natural allure and extraordinary bedroom skills. Even on Earth, they would be considered stunning. It's rare for them to have cultivated to the Star Realm Stage.

The two on the right, slender and graceful, had sharp little ears and long silver hair. They emitted a fragrance of flowers and plants. These were two Elf girls.

Elves, by nature, were beautiful, excelling in archery and loving nature. These two, like the Fox Clan girls on the left, were still virgins, and it was unknown how much money Shangguan Jiao had spent to gather them.

Among the others behind them, there was even a mermaid whose long fish tail had turned into long legs, said to offer the highest pleasure in bed…

There were also the shy lolita twin sisters of the Rabbit Clan…

And that one in the pink skirt, she was even from the Flower Fairy Clan…

Passing through a sea of powdered faces, a golden thread carpet stretched out straight to the end of the hall, with Satelite Stage guards stationed on both sides.

The Tiger Clan, Rock Giants, Three-eyed Clan, Golden Armor Clan…

Strange flowers and exotic plants were all around, fragrant and pleasant.

Clouds and mist were in the sky, and the Rainbow Bridge flickered. Lin Zhen didn't know how it was created.

"This guy really knows how to enjoy himself. What a luxurious life."

Even after rebirth, Lin Zhen couldn't help but sigh as he walked towards the entrance of the hall.

At the entrance of the hall, the Crown Prince Shangguan Jiao, dressed in a prince's robe, stood at the door, surrounded by a large group of high-ranking officials, ladies, and friends. Seeing Lin Zhen coming, he opened his arms and laughed, welcoming him.

"Hahahaha! Welcome, welcome! Welcome to our God of Wealth, who comes from the distant Solar System! Welcome, my good brother Lin Zhen, the number one expert, the new Count of our Empire. Your presence illuminates everything!"

The young masters around them also laughed and walked over one after another. They had become very familiar with Lin Zhen after spending several days in the Dimensional Universe together.

Lin Zhen indeed had aspects worthy of respect: strong abilities, and the soon-to-be Count of the Empire. Even among these people, hardly any of them had the ability to become a Count by their own merit.

In a world of stars, what's most valuable? Competent people are the most valuable. And since Lin Zhen could also make money for them, they naturally wanted to befriend him.

Lin Zhen greeted everyone with a smile and then hugged Shangguan Jiao.

"How about it, Brother Lin? Are you satisfied with the scene I arranged for you? Today, with just one word from you, my brother, you can choose any of the beauties and guards present to take away. Whoever you fancy, take them and consider it a gift from me as we meet!"

Facing the enthusiastic Shangguan Jiao, Lin Zhen laughed and said, "Crown Prince, I am not an Earl yet. According to the Empire law, if you give me these beautiful guards, I will have to go to prison."

"Ah, look at my memory! Come on, you'll be an Empire Earl soon."

Shangguan Jiao led Lin Zhen into the main hall of the prince's mansion.

After entering the main hall, the laughter among the sons gradually quieted down.

Shangguan Jiao came to the center of the hall, where there was a metal table with a golden box on it. After opening the box, he took out a chip from it.

"According to the instructions of His Majesty Long Juetian, this Earl chip shall be given to you by me on behalf of the Crown Prince. Lin Zhen, from today onwards, you will be a member of the nobility of our Empire. I hope that you will abide by the rules of the nobility, uphold the interests of the nobility, prioritize the interests of the Empire, maintain its national stability…."

After his speech, Shangguan Jiao walked up to Lin Zhen and handed him the chip.

"After bleeding on it, this chip will replace your original chip, and your permissions will change. However, you can choose whether to keep your original AI life."

"Oh, can the AI life be changed?"

"Yes, I suggest you try a new AI life because it is more compatible with this system, and this identity can accompany you for the rest of your life."

Lin Zhen's mind turned slightly, but he still did not want to replace the AI life.

Chris was named after An Ning's original name and had already formed attachments. Besides, as far as he knew, AI lives also had emotions; if you treated them well, they would treat you better. The more humanized they were, the more they could evolve human emotions.

Moreover, the status of an Earl in the Tianhe Empire was definitely not Lin Zhen's end goal. There was a much broader stage for him.

So, he planned to train Chris continually and have her accompany him throughout his journey.

"I think I'll pass. I'm used to the one I started with."

"Uh, well, it's up to you."

Lin Zhen picked up the chip and dropped a drop of blood onto it.

Soon, a burst of white light entered his mind.

Chris's voice came through, "New identity chip detected, replacing the original chip system, Master's identity has been promoted… New identity, Empire Earl…."

"Do you want to replace your AI life, Master?" Chris's voice came, and despite its mechanical tone, Lin Zhen felt a trace of sadness inside.

"No, just keep you, Chris, you will be accompanying me all the time."

"Ah!"

Chris actually let out a scream, and despite the fluctuation, she still sounded emotional, "Master, are you sure you want to keep Chris and not replace her with a new AI life? The new AI life is more suitable for this system."

"I believe you can learn, Chris. Don't AI lives have strong learning abilities? I'm sure you'll be able to handle it soon enough."

"Thank you, Master. I will study hard and become your best assistant!"

Chris's tone obviously changed, and she started to display emotions.

Soon, Lin Zhen's poor status disappeared.

In its place was his new identity, Empire Earl Lin Zhen. With the change in status, his information in the Dimensional Universe was also updated. Only people with a Marquis rank or higher could access his previous information; everyone else with a lower rank had no authority to do so.

Shangguan Jiao handed Lin Zhen a card, "There are one billion Tianhe Coins in this card as a reward from His Majesty. The password is 111222, you can now go to the bank and transfer them to your card."

Lin Zhen nodded and immediately entered the Dimensional Universe. With Chris's help, he arrived at the Jade Star branch of the First Cosmic Bank.

"Hello, sir, what service do you need?"

It seemed that the clerk still remembered Lin Zhen, the handsome guy, and smiled at him.

"Transfer all the money from this card to my account."

Lin Zhen handed over both cards. This time it should be quick and easy since no counting was needed.

The clerk took the cards and processed the request. But then she let out a small surprise.

"Ah! I'm truly sorry, Count, I didn't know you were a nobleman, so disrespectful."

"It's okay, I just got promoted recently."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding. Your account balance has now exceeded one billion. According to the regulations, you can now be promoted to a Gold Member, and with your noble status, your account can be upgraded another level, to become a Platinum Member. Would you like to proceed with the upgrade right away?"

"What are the benefits?"

"Of course, being a Platinum Member means that you can enjoy a 10% discount everywhere within the Empire. Also, you can apply for loans without any interest, with credit equal to the balance of the card, which is 100 billion Tianhe Coins!"

Lin Zhen's eyes lit up, "What's the repayment period?"

"Ten years."

"Upgrade my membership immediately." Lin Zhen was overjoyed, a ten-year interest-free loan was like a pie falling from the sky.

The salesman immediately processed Lin Zhen's card and handed it to him five minutes later. As Lin Zhen left, the salesman stood up and saluted him.

As Lin Zhen left the hall, all the attendants, including the lobby manager, stood up and saluted him. Both platinum members and imperial nobles could enjoy this treatment.

Lin Zhen enjoyed this kind of treatment for the first time in his past and present lives, and he had to admit that it felt different.

Once out of the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen returned to the Prince's Mansion hall.

"Hahaha! Our Count has returned. Come on, I've prepared a lavish feast to welcome you today. Let's drink until we're drunk!"

Shangguan Jiao clapped his hands, and the cheongsam beauties started filing in, carrying various delicacies and fine wines.

Liquid metal solidified into tables and chairs on the floor. Shangguan Jiao pulled Lin Zhen to sit down, and the twenty or so young masters all took their seats.

"Come on, let's toast to the Count with this Blue Bay Star Ice Spring Brew."

"Come on, Lin Zhen. I've got you a noble title. You better drink and have a good time with me."

"Me too, me too. Although I haven't got my identity chip yet, I've hired you several times. You've just been too busy and full of time to fit me in."

"And I, and I. This time Lin Zhen you must help me in a fight. As long as you defeat my older brother's fighter, I'll offer you 200 Citizen Identities at once. Just give me priority, I can't stand him any longer!"

Facing these passionate imperial young masters, Lin Zhen responded with a smile and promised them what he could.

Those who had already made transactions handed their chips to Lin Zhen.

Some who had not made a deal even took the initiative to give Lin Zhen their chips as a deposit, showing that they trusted Lin Zhen's strength.

Lin Zhen collected many chips, and in no time, he achieved his original goal – 1,000 Citizens and 100,000 Poor!

Feeling happy, Lin Zhen enjoyed drinking the Blue Bay Star Ice Spring Brew, socializing with the group.

Afterward, Lin Zhen wasn't drunk at all and decided to enter the Dimensional Universe to vent his alcohol-energy, completing the tasks he'd just received in the arena.

It was not easy to encounter strong players like Mida. Lin Zhen defeated the opponents he encountered afterward without using time acceleration.

This series of victories made Lin Zhen's reputation even more prominent. Currently, among the upper-class young people on Jade Star, Lin Zhen's name was frequently mentioned in the Capital.

As for the Solar System, a name that never appeared in the Empire dictionary, it was also increasingly brought up.

"Little brother, are you sure you don't want me to arrange a few beauties for you to serve in bed? Let me tell you, these girls are carefully selected by me and haven't been touched by any man. You're now an Empire Earl, how can you still be alone? You should have a hundred or eighty women to better show off your status."

Seeing the somewhat excessive enthusiasm of Shangguan Jiao, Lin Zhen laughed heartily: "Crown Prince, please don't tease me. I have a woman waiting for me on Earth. If I bring these women back, I might have trouble."

"You can leave them here. You have money now and should have a residence on Jade Star. Tell me what you're interested in, and I can help you choose."

"Thank you for your kindness, Crown Prince, but I have too much to deal with on Earth. Let me finish that first."

"Alright, it's up to you. If you have any difficulties, come to me."

"There's nothing for now. I'll be leaving tomorrow."

Shangguan Jiao and Lin Zhen talked for a while. They could always meet inside the Dimensional Universe. After chatting for a while, Shangguan Jiao left.

After Shangguan Jiao left, Chris spoke.

"Master, based on your current situation, I have made a plan for you. You should go out now."

"Out? Where to?"

"Of course, it's time to go shopping!"

Chris said matter-of-factly: "You have money in your hands now, but it has no value if you don't spend it. You have to turn it into strength."

"I've been thinking about it too, but where should I go? As you know, I don't have much time. I have to go back tomorrow."

"It's simple. I've checked the Jade Star shopping mall already. First, you need a secret gun manual, the Sea Treading. This is a must-buy for you, which you can reserve in the Dimensional Universe."

"Alright, I'll take it. What else?"

"You need a bigger spaceship; otherwise, this small one won't be enough for your return."

"Why not? I'm the only one, and this spaceship is enough."

"No, not nearly enough, because you need to buy a lot of slaves."

Chris elaborated: "You are now an Empire Earl, and many things must conform to your status; otherwise, you will be ostracized by the empire's high society. Slaves are essential for every noble. Even if you don't need protection yourself, your family and hometown do. Buying a group of powerful slaves can help you solve many potential problems."

"I see… Do we go now?"

"Of course, I have read the information, and the slave market has recently received many high-quality slaves. With my assistance, we might be able to find treasures there."

Lin Zhen hadn't used slaves in his previous life, but in his current situation, with Chris's constant persuasion, he finally gave in.

"Let's go shopping and spending!"

Chapter 387: Chapter 387 Black Pearl (3rd update)

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen initially reserved a Sea Treading secret manual online. The book was priced at two million Tianhe Coins, which wasn't considered too high.

However, if exchanged into Earth's currency, it would be 20 billion, which on second thought, also isn't cheap.

After the secret manual chip was delivered, Lin Zhen left the Prince's Mansion.

He might come to Jade Star to buy a residence in the future, but not right now. He still needed to return to Earth.

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, he flew using Star Power. Chris guided Lin Zhen, live-streaming towards the Astronautical Commodity Museum.

The Astronautical Commodity Museum sold items needed for cosmic travels, with the main item being spaceships.

The technology on Earth could not compare to that on Jade Star. Lin Zhen urgently needed a good spaceship. Guided by Chris, he arrived at the museum's entrance.

"Wow! What a huge entrance."

The museum looked like a great mountain, its gate unimaginably large.

The width and height were ten kilometers each!

Moreover, it was a gate frame without a door leaf, to facilitate the entry and exit of spaceships. If the door were too small, some large spaceships would not be able to go through.

Even so, some super large spaceships couldn't dock, such as certain cargo spaceships like the Red Rose, or certain war tools like Sky City heading to Earth. They couldn't get in.

Those types of spaceships could only be docked in the open. Luckily, Lin Zhen didn't need one of those monsters.

Upon entering the Astronautical Museum, an automatic scan quickly identified Lin Zhen's identity.

"We welcome your visit, Count. Please feel free to look around."

There was no need for a shopping guide here. Each person's smart lifeform acted as one, knowing all the prices, performance, and discount policies of the spaceships.

"Master, a spaceship will be your biggest expenditure for now. I suggest you choose a medium-sized spaceship with advanced weaponry and defense systems. In the starry sky, if you encounter interstellar pirates and your spaceship gets destroyed, many experts may perish right then and there."

Lin Zhen nodded in agreement. For cosmic travels, distances were often measured in light years. Depending on physical strength alone, even if you don't die from exhaustion, you could get lost, or die in spatial turbulence or from a Galaxy Beast. You really needed a good spaceship.

"Apart from the weaponry and defense system, speed is also critical. The faster, the better. Don't be afraid to spend."

Lin Zhen walked between the gigantic spaceships, listening to Chris's detailed introductions and helped Lin Zhen to pick the most suitable one.

When they arrived at a black spaceship, Chris said, "This will do. The latest Phantom X99 series, weighing 14 million tons in total, a small-size war fortress, equipped with orbital cannons and void missiles, with a maximum endurance of 800 years. It is a very top-end brand for civilian use."

"How many people can it carry?" Lin Zhen asked, looking at the behemoth that was 500 meters tall.

"Maximum capacity is five thousand people, and it also has an energy block storage compartment. Maximum speed is thirty kilometers per second."

Lin Zhen calculated quietly. This spaceship's speed was similar to the flight equipment he had pillaged. Although it was more powerful, the speed wasn't enough.

"Let's keep looking, anything faster?"

"That might be difficult, master. The spaceship you're currently using is considered pretty fast. Civilian spaceships reaching this speed is the result of technological advancement. Anything faster would be military grade, but that's not for sale."

"What about for a noble like me?"

"Master, although you are a noble, you are only a noble in name. You don't hold any official position, nor do you have a territory, so… "

Chris didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear. Lin Zhen was just a noble in name only.

Lin Zhen felt a little depressed. Although he didn't want to take on any official role, having a territory would be nice.

Having a territory would provide a constant stream of money for a noble. If the Solar System were to be developed, carving the nearby star systems into one's own territory would be pretty nice.

Just as he was thinking, Chris spoke again: "Master, there's a spaceship up for auction up ahead."

"An auction? Let's go over and take a look."

Lin Zhen quickened his pace and joined the crowd up ahead.

A dark spaceship was parked there. On it was a huge skull painting, it was especially eye-catching.

"What a shame, what a shame!" After exclaiming in surprise, Chris went on about what a pity it was.

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity about this good spaceship, master. This spaceship is not a product of the Empire's technology, but from the Sanjiang Star Federation. The technology level surpasses the Empire by one grade, belongs to the sixth-generation series of interstellar hunters and was originally a command ship for the military."

"So the performance must be very good, right?"

"Indeed, it's impressive. Four thousand kilometers long, two thousand kilometers wide, three hundred meters high, maximum crew capacity of thirty thousand, maximum endurance duration of a thousand years, maximum speed of a thousand five hundred kilometers per second. It's also equipped with a large-caliber energy cannon, interstellar long-range missiles, and an A-level protection shield, etc."

"That's excellent. This ship is five times faster than the ship I pirated, so why hasn't anyone bought it?"

"There are several reasons. Firstly, this spaceship consumes a lot of energy, the consumption of energy blocks is a major expense, ordinary people simply can't afford it. Additionally, there's that skull symbol, it's the symbol of the interstellar pirates, which means that this ship was originally a pirate ship. The nobility despise purchasing pirate ships, it would lower their status and they also consider it bad luck."

Lin Zhen raised an eyebrow, somewhat tempted.

He had just become a nobleman, and doesn't feel much of a sense of nobility. Status or not, he really doesn't care too much.

He also noticed that this pirate ship, especially the captured ones, is like a car that hit someone on Earth, no one wants to buy it no matter how much it costs, it's disconcerting.

Chris noticed Lin Zhen's thoughts and quickly said, "Master, don't act impulsively. You are now a nobleman of the Empire, and there's another disadvantage to buying a pirate ship. The pirates were definitely not just one person or a small group of people, but a large organization. If the original pirate owner of this ship still has friends, they will surely want to grab the ship back when they know it's been sold. That would cause trouble, this is also one of the reasons people are unwilling to buy it."

Lin Zhen thought for a moment: "What's the original price of this ship? What's the current price?"

"Originally, this spaceship was priced in Sanjiang currency, with a selling price of twenty million Sanjiang coins. If converted into Tianhe coins, it would be two hundred billion. But since this was a pirate ship captured by the Empire's military and then auctioned off, the price was greatly discounted, only a hundred billion."

Lin Zhen's platinum membership card can loan a hundred billion, and since this spaceship is worth its cost, he decided to buy it.

As for the trouble with the pirates, Lin Zhen doesn't think it's a big deal. He is temporarily taking remote interstellar routes, it's unlikely he will encounter pirates.

"I'll go and handle the loan."

Lin Zhen took action immediately, entering the Dimensional Universe to process a loan of a hundred billion at the bank.

With a repayment period of ten years, Lin Zhen wasn't worried about not being able to repay the money in the future.

Upon receiving the money, Lin Zhen immediately went to the spaceship sales point.

"I want to buy this ship."

"Ah! Count Lin Zhen, are you sure you want to purchase this Black Pearl?"

"The ship is called Black Pearl?"

"Yes, it's called Black Pearl, look at the spray paint on the ship."

The salesperson pointed at the hull. Indeed, the name 'Black Pearl' was sprayed in a universal language on it, very conspicuously and largely.

When Chris heard this name, she paused for a moment then hastily reminded Lin Zhen, "Master, I just found out, Black Pearl is notoriously known as a pirate ship. That spray paint is made of high-tech materials, unless the ship's hull is dismantled, there's no way to remove it. No wonder nobody bought it, you must not fall for it. Even if you want to buy, you must extort something extra out of them, otherwise they are unable to sell it…."

Lin Zhen nodded, then turned to the salesman: "So, it is the Black Pearl, no wonder no one bought it, it's so expensive for a hundred billion. Nevermind, I'll consider others instead."

"Don't leave Count Lin Zhen, the performance of this ship is top-notch, from the Sanjiang Star Federation. Our Empire-made ships are far behind in comparison. One hundred billion is already a floor price, besides you are a nobleman, you can enjoy a 10% discount, and can take it for just ninety billion."

Lin Zhen seemed a little moved, but still shook his head: "Of course I know I can get a discount, but I still feel somewhat short-changed. This skull symbol and the words 'Black Pearl' can't be removed at all. Walking around in the starry sky, people would think I'm a pirate. It would be embarrassing for me, the Count of the Empire."

This spaceship had been on the market for two months. Although people praised its performance, no one had ever intended to purchase it. After all, one hundred billion is not a small amount, every intelligent life form would remind their master not to buy it.

The salesman was getting a bit anxious, and finally gritted his teeth: "Count Lin Zhen, if you agree to buy it, we will also gift you energy blocks of high quality worth three billion. These energy blocks are enough to support your spaceship's voyage in the universe for fifty years, otherwise, you would have to buy energy blocks."

Lin Zhen was moved. The number three billion was not small, energy blocks are like gas in a car, indispensable to everyone.

But he felt he could still haggle a bit more, so he deliberately hesitated there.

Seeing Lin Zhen was still not giving in, the salesman got anxious. He simply added more fuel to the fire: "Count, if you buy this spaceship, we will also give you ten slaves!"

"Ten slaves?" Lin Zhen was surprised, this wasn't a slave market.

"Yes, ten slaves, and they are experts in spaceship driving and familiar with weapon usage. Among them, two have reached the Planet Stage, and the remaining eight are Satellite Stage. What do you think? You must spend at least two billion to buy these ten slaves from the slave market, and they will certainly not be as skilled in spaceship operation."

"Deal!" Lin Zhen knew this should be their bottom line. Any more bargaining would be impossible.

The salesman was overjoyed, giving out ten slaves seemed like he got a good bargain. He cheerfully signed the contract with Lin Zhen, who had spent ninety billion. They immediately arranged for someone to add energy blocks to Lin Zhen's Black Pearl.

During the waiting period, ten slaves were brought to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen looked up, the two slaves at the front had already reached Planet Eighth-level. Their strong momentum was palpable!

Planet Stage is the second realm of the Constant Realm Third Level, with Satellite Stage below and Constant Star Stage above.

In most civilized planets, Planet Stage is considered to be the top-level of the strong ones. For example, Lin Zhen on Earth, has not discovered any Planet Stage yet. Perhaps Yan Qiyue is at Planet Stage, but it is uncertain.

Even Earth's top masters like An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie are just at Satellite Stage, which is nothing in the scope of the interstellar world.

And the two slaves in front of him had both reached the Planet Eighth-level!

The one on the left has long, yellow hair with dozens of tiny braids, heavy black circles under his eyes that look innate, and he appears not very strong but somewhat effeminate. Within his delicate demeanor lies ruthlessness. He definitely looks like a villain.

The one on the right actually has two black horns on his head, messy hair, is about 2.2 meters tall, inconceivably muscular, and has dark skin with just a pair of brightly shining eyes.

There were even eight people behind them, all at Satellite Level 9.

The salesperson, fearing that Lin Zhen might not be satisfied, pulled the effeminate man over: "Count, do not underestimate this effeminate man. The Empire had paid a price to capture him. He is at Level Eight Peak, just on the verge of breaking through. As long as his chip is replaced, he could enter Planet Ninth-level at any time, and may even enter the Constant Star Stage in the future. Buying him is a big bargain for you."

All countries in the universe have specially developed a type of chip to control slaves. Once the chip is installed on a slave, the slave will be absolutely loyal to their master.

Slaves cannot betray their master. If they have a thought of betrayal, the chip will automatically destroy them.

Unless the slave's realm breaks through the Black Hole Period and reaches the third level of the Extreme Realm, Star System Stage, they will have the ability to destroy the chip in their body. So slaves in the Black Hole Period are not very popular because they can easily rebel against their master.

The salesperson even pried open the effeminate man's mouth: "Count, look at this guy's teeth; he has an excellent physical quality. You can just give them some food casually on a daily basis…."

At this point, Lin Zhen suddenly interrupted him: "You just said that the Empire captured him? Who is he?"

"Uh … did I say that?" The salesperson tried to play dumb.

"Don't play dumb with me. The intelligent system records every word you say. Do you know what the consequence of deliberately deceiving a noble is?"

Lin Zhen's face became serious. The salesperson was just a citizen. If he really offended Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen even had the right to execute him on the spot, though solid evidence would be needed.

The salesperson's expression tightened: "Count, please forgive me. I'll tell you. This person used to be a deputy on the Black Pearl. He was a subordinate of the renowned interstellar pirate Xilanke. The Black Pearl is Xilanke's ship."

"You mean, they are all pirates?"

"Well … they used to be, but now they're just obedient slaves."

The salesperson's face was apologetic, but there was also a hint of smugness.

Lin Zhen was also somewhat speechless. No wonder the salesperson had so generously offered these ten slaves as gifts; they were all pirates. If found by Xilanke, it would definitely be troublesome. These ten pirates were a hot potato in their hands.

It's hard to say whether they were deceived or not. If it wasn't for these troubles, the Black Pearl would not have been so cheap.

Since the spaceship had been bought, having these ten pirate slaves didn't matter that much.

"What are your names?" Lin Zhen asked.

"My name is Ronnie, and I am the deputy captain of the Black Pearl." The effeminate man spoke first.

"I'm Shac, also the deputy captain. The eight of them are drivers and weapon controllers." The tall man with horns also spoke.

Lin Zhen nodded. Since they had been bought already, there was no way he wouldn't use them. He told the salesperson, "Give me their main chips."

The main chips controlling the slaves belonged to the master and were held by the sales manager here.

The sales manager had been waiting there. Immediately, he transferred the main chip data to Lin Zhen using the intelligent life application.

Soon, Chris got the authority, and Lin Zhen became the new master of these ten slaves.

"You don't need to feel disheartened. I am a Count of the Empire. Following me is at least much better than following ordinary citizens or knights. I can say that besides me, there may not be any higher-ranking nobles willing to recruit you."

Among the nobles, knights, barons, viscounts are considered low-ranking nobles, while counts, marquises, and dukes are high-ranking nobles.

Ronnie and the other nine slaves nodded. They had become numb to their fates since being captured. It didn't matter much who they were with now, as they were all slaves. Maybe one day their master would have a bad mood and execute them.

However, the Count in front of them seemed to be a relatively good person. Their lives should not be too harsh.

Lin Zhen's lips curled into a slight smile: "You might think that your days won't be good in the future, but I want to tell you that, if you perform well, I might promote you to be members of my knights' group, and you can become knights."

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's words, the eyes of the ten slaves instantly lit up!

Knights are the private soldiers of nobles, also known as noble subordinates. Although they still held their lives in their masters' hands, they were no longer slaves in other regards.'

They could receive salaries from their masters, find women, and indulge in pleasure. Except for absolute obedience to their master's orders, they had unlimited freedom and even had their master's support in the background in case anything happened.

Only counts or above had knight groups. This was the limit of the slave occupation.

Ronnie said in disbelief, "Master, but we are pirates."

"Pirates? That's all in the past. What's the big deal? Now there's just the Black Pearl."

"But… if Xilanke finds you, you will be in trouble." Shac reminded Lin Zhen.

"Not to worry. If I'm scared of pirates, then I wouldn't have bought the Black Pearl in the first place."

Ronnie and the others exchanged glances and knelt before Lin Zhen. "We pledge our lives to our Count!"

For these captured pirates, finding a master like Lin Zhen was an incredible stroke of luck. Their hopes of becoming knights brought tears to their eyes.

With the pirates now loyal to him, Lin Zhen's energy blocks were complete.

"OK, Count, now you can ride your spaceship into the stars. To avoid any trouble, we've disguised the Black Pearl insignia and writings. It's a simple cover, but it should be enough."

Lin Zhen glanced at his ship. The painted skull and "Black Pearl" branding were covered by a thin layer of cheap armor, making it look less threatening.

With the title transfer complete, Lin Zhen led his ten subordinates onto the Black Pearl.

"Ahoy! I'm back on this ship, and back to my favorite spot!" Ronnie excitedly plopped down into his old seat, spinning in his chair.

The other pirates were eager to return to their familiar roles, eagerly touching every part of the ship. They had never thought they would be back on the Black Pearl again.

"First, let's take the ship out and find a place to dock. I need to buy some slaves."

Seated in Xilanke's old seat – a massive recliner with auto-adjustments and a stocked fridge nearby (though currently empty) – Lin Zhen looked around and sighed at the opulence of his new life. He gave the order, and the pirates efficiently started the ship.

Once airborne, the ship accelerated sharply, soaring into the sky and out of view.

After a leisurely circle around, the ship eventually touched down on a nearby runway.

The runway's territory covered thousands of kilometers, almost like a small country on Earth.

Ronnie excitedly said, "Master, I wish we could take the spaceship through the starry skies right now. We lived quite the life back then."

"Be patient. There will be opportunities. Let's wait here and I'll go purchase some slaves. After that, we shall leave."

Ronnie and Shac exchanged glances; Ronnie blinked and spoke to Lin Zhen, "Master, are you planning on buying slaves?"

"Yes. This ship has a limit of thirty thousand passengers. With just eleven of us, we cannot represent my planet well."

Shac now chimed in, "Master, the slave market is a shady business. Slave traders are worse than pirates; they'll deceive and take advantage at any opportunity. First-time buyers usually spend a lot of unnecessary money."

Lin Zhen asked Chris, "What is the situation with the slave market?"

"Master, the slave market has no fixed prices. Each slave is unique, with different backgrounds and abilities. Artificial life cannot accurately evaluate the prices, not to mention the preferences needed to buy the perfect slave."

Lin Zhen had little experience purchasing slaves in his previous life.

Ronnie volunteered, "Master, how about this? The eight crew members can wait here, while Shac and I go to the slave market with you. We have experience in these matters and will ensure the slave traders don't take advantage of you."

Lin Zhen nodded. The slaves would, by nature, be loyal to him without deception.

Seeing Ronnie and Shac's enthusiasm, Lin Zhen sought to reward them by promoting them to members of his knight order.

Knighthood is a high-status distinction for nobles, recognized only by a count or above.

Lin Zhen instructed Chris to promote Ronnie and Shac, as the artificial life now had authority to grant knighthood. They instantly became Lin Zhen's knights in service.

From here on, to Ronnie and Shac, Lin Zhen's words were law.

The two never expected to become knights so quickly, their eyes welling with tears as they knelt before Lin Zhen, overwhelmed by emotion.

Ronnie raised his head, "Master, we can never repay your kindness. At the slave market, we'll use our connections to choose the elite from among the slaves. Every cent will be spent wisely."

Lin Zhen nodded and helped the two knights to their feet, ready to leave the ship with them.

However, Lin Zhen couldn't shake a feeling that Ronnie's "elite" would be similar to their own kind – desperate outcasts with nothing to lose.

Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Level 9 Spiritual Mind Master of the Planet

Translator: 549690339

With Ronnie and Shac, the three of them took Lin Zhen's small spaceship to the slave market.

Jade Star has a population of 300 billion, and there are thousands of slave markets in it. Every day, many people from various ethnic groups are transported to Jade Star from all over the Milky Way.

The area Lin Zhen is currently in is the most prosperous area of Jade Star, close to the Imperial City. There is the largest slave market, Starry Market.

Not only are there all kinds of slaves here, but there are often high-ranking slaves for sale, making it a favorite place for dignitaries.

At the gate of the slave market, Lin Zhen felt as if he was attending a super-large-scale gathering. At first glance, it was a sea of people. This was a true sea of people, and the crowds on Earth could not be compared with this at all.

To attract customers, slave traders have tried every means.

The slave market is a no-fly zone. So they set up a tall platform and displayed slaves on a big screen to showcase their skills. It was quite shocking.

Lin Zhen had just walked into the slave market and was immediately attracted by the first platform.

The big screen on the platform was showing the information of the slaves.

On the battlefield, a Star Realm Level general was fighting with the enemy, commanding the warriors under him to charge back and forth, divide and encircle, and use tactics properly. In the end, he won with fewer soldiers and wiped out the enemy.

"Sword in hand, who dares to be the Hero!"

At the setting sun, the yellow sand desert, the general looked back, and the image of the hero with a blood-stained military uniform froze.

And that general is standing on the high platform at this moment, waiting for people to choose him.

Ronnie and Shac looked worriedly at Lin Zhen for a while, fearing that Lin Zhen would be moved to choose this slave.

Although this general was good on their planet, he was of little use among interstellar nations, and his strength was low in the Star Realm.

They thought that their young count was too young, and to be able to buy the Black Pearl, he was probably rich and capricious, easily falling into the trap of slave traders.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen just looked for a moment and left without any intention of buying.

"Master, I thought you were going to impulsively buy this slave." Ronnie said.

"Why should I buy him? I'm not a savior. That general's personal strength is too poor, so he's of no use to me."

"Right, right! Buying him would be worse than buying a beauty. At least that has some use."

Shac was adding from the side, his eyes wandering everywhere, but mostly on beautiful women.

Lin Zhen had seen Shac's information. He came from Pisces, the leader of the villain faction on their planet and the head of the Demon Clan. He kidnapped the most beautiful princess of their planet, causing the heroes of that planet to risk their lives to save her. However, none of them could topple the cruel Demon King.

Later, this guy became a little arrogant and challenged the deity on their planet, which was actually the planetary lord. Finally, he was almost killed, escaped and was taken in by Xilanke to become an interstellar pirate of the Black Pearl.

As for Ronnie, the sissy guy, he was a great mage of a magic planet, proficient in necromancy. He was hated by the people on that planet and was besieged by experts from the entire planet. In desperation, he ventured into space, became a nomad for hundreds of years, and finally became a pirate.

These two guys were both Xilanke's accomplices, and they had committed countless crimes. When the Black Pearl was captured by the Tianhe Empire's Army, they became slaves.

After walking for a while, Ronnie stopped, "Master, I see a group of guys with decent strength."

"Where?" Lin Zhen didn't know how to find slaves, so he didn't have any clues. These slave traders didn't have low prices, and finding the slaves with the highest cost-performance in such a huge market was not easy.

"This way."

Ronnie led Lin Zhen and Shac to a high platform in the far left.

There were about a thousand slaves on the high platform, each with a fierce face. The leader of them was actually a Planet Ninth Level Peak, even stronger than Ronnie and Shac.

Lin Zhen's gaze fell on the Level 9 Peak and found that this person was also a Spiritual Mind Master.

A Level 9 Spiritual Mind Master on a planet was definitely a super expert, which could sweep the whole Earth.

"Master, these people are pirates. The leader is called Stephen. His pirate group even robbed our business. If it weren't for Xilanke's move, we wouldn't be his opponent. After Xilanke chased them away, they had been active in the Virgo Star System. I didn't expect them to be captured too."

"Ask for the price."

Lin Zhen took the two of them to the front of the slave trader.

"Hey, how do you sell these slaves?" Ronnie asked.

Since becoming a knight, Ronnie and Shac had the insignia of a knight, but there was no family crest. Lin Zhen had been a noble for a short time and hadn't thought about making a crest yet.

If they could become knights, their master would be at least an Empire Earl, so the slave trader didn't dare to offend them. Although knights were also a kind of slave, they were high-level slaves, certainly much more powerful than ordinary civilians.

"Ah, esteemed knights, are you interested in these slaves? We offer fair prices here. Comet Stage slaves range from 100,000 to 500,000, Satellite Stage slaves from 1,000,000 to 5,000,000, and Planet Stage slaves from 10,000,000 to 100,000,000."

"What about this one? One hundred million, right?" Ronnie pointed at Stephen. If he could get him for a hundred million, it would definitely be a bargain, as a Planet Ninth-level spiritual mind master should be worth at least three hundred million.

"Oh, no, no, he's a bit special. He's a spiritual mind master, five hundred million!" The slave trader held up a hand.

At this moment, Stephen looked up and saw Ronnie and Shac, and his eyes lit up: "Aren't you two scoundrels part of Xilanke's crew? Wasn't the Black Pearl captured? How can you guys show up here disguised as humans?"

Ronnie, who had previously been beaten by Stephen, didn't want to lose face in front of him and puffed out his chest, "Stephen, don't call us scoundrels, we are now noble knights, not like you, a lowly slave. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I have the right to give you a good slap and fan your face for three days and nights, so you won't sell for a high price!"

The slave trader was about to say something, but Lin Zhen snorted behind him, and they looked at him, realizing immediately that he must be a noble, and dared not make a sound.

If slaves dare to offend nobles, they, as slave traders, must bear the responsibility. If Ronnie really beats Stephen on the spot, they wouldn't dare to stop him.

Upon hearing this, Stephen's eyes were filled with anger, but he didn't dare to act rashly. As a slave, if he were to show any aggressive behavior, his master would execute him immediately, and he didn't want to die.

He said with clenched teeth, "How did you become knights? Your master must have very low standards to let people like you become knights. You guys are just like me, nothing but despicable pirates."

"That's fate, Stephen. Unfortunately, you'll never meet a great master like ours. Behold our noble master, the prestigious and glorious Earl Lin Zhen. He not only bought us but also bought the Black Pearl."

Having said that, he revealed Lin Zhen.

The pirates' eyes suddenly grew hot when they saw Lin Zhen.

Daring to buy a pirate ship, this noble has some guts.

To follow a noble and become a slave would naturally be preferred by pirates, but they didn't know if this noble would be able to appreciate them.

The pirates tried to display their powerful fighting abilities, hoping to attract Lin Zhen's attention.

The slave trader quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Earl Lin Zhen, how about these slaves? They're all incredibly strong and have no problem guarding your territory."

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen shook his head, "Pirates should be depreciated in the slave market. Buying them would definitely cause some trouble, and I don't want to spend a lot of money only to invite trouble."

Ronnie also added, "Exactly, these guys are notorious. Buying them would be a disgrace to our master's reputation. Besides, you're asking for way too much."

"Well… This leader is three hundred million, and that's a fair price."

"No, no, no. That's definitely not a fair price. Stephen is worth at most fifty million. How can he be more expensive than me?"

"Fifty million is absolutely impossible. We went to great lengths to capture him, and we can't even cover our costs. At least one hundred and fifty million." The slave trader frowned.

"Everyone knows that the slave trade profits are enormous. Besides, our master won't just buy one person. We will leave if you keep demanding such a high price."

Ronnie quietly communicated with Lin Zhen in the Dimensional Universe and haggled with the slave trader at the same time.

By belittling Stephen and his gang and bargaining, this method proved quite effective.

"Fine… One hundred million, that's the lowest I can go, but you must take all of these slaves. The price is…"

In the end, both sides agreed on 1,000 Comet Level slaves for a total price of thirty million, one hundred Satellite Level slaves for a total price of one hundred and fifty million, and Stephen along with the two Planet Sixth-level slaves for a total price of one hundred and sixty million.

The total value was three hundred and forty million, and Lin Zhen bought over a thousand pirates.

This price was really cheap. Excluding Lin Zhen's noble discount, it was just slightly above three hundred million.

Lin Zhen had spent ninety billion on the credit to buy the spaceship, and with the empire's ten billion reward, he currently had over seventeen billion.

Seeing Stephen and the other two Planet Stage slaves' expectant eyes, Lin Zhen smiled, "Since you're all my people now, I won't play favorites. You three will become members of my knight order."

Chris granted them the rank of knights.

Lin Zhen then told the other pirates, "You should also work hard, and I won't mistreat slaves. Those who reach the Planet Stage can become knights."

"Thank you, Master!"

Thinking about the chance to pilot the Black Pearl and the hope of becoming knights, the pirates were filled with enthusiasm.

Lin Zhen, leading more than a thousand people, walked through the slave market and attracted many curious glances.

Some people felt that the noble had very poor taste, leading such slaves that clearly weren't good people. How could he invite others to his territory as guests with such a lineup? It was like a bandit's den.

The high society circles would definitely ostracize this noble, some people thought.

Lin Zhen also realized the problem, with a pirate ship and a group of real pirates in his ranks, it would be hard not to be misunderstood by others. He needed some more presentable slaves.

Translator: 549690339

Choosing a higher quality slave wasn't an easy task, especially with a large group of people. Lin Zhen thought about it and let Ronnie take them back to the Black Pearl, while he walked around with Shac.

Ronnie was a bit worried when he left since Shac wasn't very good at bargaining.

Not long after Ronnie left, Shac suddenly stopped.

"Huh!"

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Seems like I've run into a group of acquaintances." Shac pointed forward, and on a platform, several slave traders were selling hundreds of slaves.

Two of the girls were particularly beautiful, with pure white wings behind them. They looked innocent and sacred.

"You must be eyeing the beauties," Lin Zhen teased him.

Unexpectedly, for once Shac reacted differently: "I may like beautiful women, but not these two. They are my mortal enemies. I was chased out of my hometown because of their clan. They are both dogs of the God of Bright, Wisdom Angels of the Angel Clan."

As Shac spoke, his eyes turned red, and his sharp teeth clashed, as if he harbored great hatred towards the Angel Clan.

The group approached the crowd, and Lin Zhen looked at the two angel girls. They were indeed extraordinarily beautiful, but their realms were just Satellite Level 7.

The slave traders were shouting loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, come and see! Here are angel girls from the Pisces constellation, with pure blood and gorgeous looks! They are absolutely virgins, taking them home as bed warmers will be worth every penny! One costs 50 million Tianhe Coins, both for 90 million. Why don't you take them, sir, it's a good deal!"

For satellite-level slaves, a price of several million was normal. The price of these two angels, 90 million, was definitely high, but it was due to their beauty.

However, there were no fools in the slave market. Even those who wanted to buy felt the price was too high. Tianhe Coins were a powerful currency; 90 million could be equal to 90 billion on a normal life star. So it was not worth buying two beautiful girls with limited practical value.

The two angel girls hung their heads, remaining silent. Their beautiful eyes were dull and lifeless, like they had lost all hope for the future.

Lin Zhen was planning to leave after a quick glance, but Shac couldn't help it and ran directly to the front of the angel girls, mocking them.

"Hehe! Let me see who these beauties are. Aren't they the most beautiful and pure twin angels, Little Angel and elder Angel, under the God of Bright? How did you guys end up as slaves? It's karma!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the angel sisters slowly raised their heads only to see Shac's devil-horned head.

"Shac, you're the demon Shac!"

The angel sisters showed fearful expressions, as if they were terrified.

However, they soon realized that they were no longer on their planet, and Shac couldn't do anything to them here.

"Yes, I am Shac. But now I am a knight for a nobleman, and you two hypocritical Bright God Clan members are just slaves!"

"What? You, of all people, have become a knight!" The older angel sister looked at Shac in disbelief. She couldn't imagine what kind of nobleman would employ someone like him.

"Hahaha! The greatness of our master is beyond the comprehension of hypocrites like you. By the way, where is that hateful bastard of yours, Archangel Jason? Is he dead yet?"

Shac had been hunted down by Jason and had fled in exile. Naturally, he hated Jason to the core, so he wanted to know the situation.

Unexpectedly, the angel sisters' eyelashes fell: "The Bright God Clan no longer exists. The God of Bright and another god…died in a battle with a powerful person. Our clan has been enslaved, and Jason is in this slave market."

"Ah! That guy became a slave too? This is really a pleasant surprise."

Shac couldn't contain his excitement, dancing and jumping with joy.

Lin Zhen suddenly looked at the slave trader: "I'll buy these two girls from the Angel Clan for 60 million."

The slave trader hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Lin Zhen's decisive demeanor, quickly agreed: "Deal."

Watching Lin Zhen take the chips of the two Angel Clan girls, Shac whispered, "Master, 60 million is a bit expensive. If it's for beauty, I know many races that have beautiful women."

Lin Zhen ignored him, and instead spoke to the two Angel Clan girls: "Take me to see the Jason you mentioned."

The two Angel Clan girls were overjoyed. Little Angel said, "Master, do you want to buy Jason? We can take you to him right away. He's not far from here."

Upon hearing this, Shac was stunned and said to Lin Zhen: "Master, that Jason guy is an inflexible, boring, and unyielding bastard. Buying him would not be worth it…"

Lin Zhen turned his head: "You're afraid of him?"

"Ah! I…I can't beat him." Shac replied dumbly.

"That's good. If I only relied on you guys, who knows what kind of mess I could get into. I can't just take the cheap ones. I need someone presentable and strong. The fact that you're afraid of him eases my mind."

Ten minutes later, following the guidance of the angel sisters, Lin Zhen arrived at a high platform.

During the journey, the angel sisters carefully erected their wings to shield Lin Zhen from the sunlight. With their flower-like appearance, Lin Zhen couldn't help but sigh at how they really were angels who had served a so-called deity before.

You get what you pay for, and that was absolutely true.

Lin Zhen also granted the Angel sisters the status of knights, intending to leave these two Angel Clan girls at home to take care of his parents, so their status had to be higher.

As a count, he could have thousands of knights, which he could afford.

On the high platform, one slave stood out, with six wings behind him, looking like a cold marble sculpture with his eyes closed, not paying attention to anything.

Despite this, the powerful aura he emitted was unmistakable, and the surrounding slaves did not dare to approach him.

He was actually a Constant Star Level 1!

Constant Star Level experts were not that common,

Lin Zhen approached the slave trader, and after a brief communication, the trader immediately paid his respects to Lin Zhen with sincere fear.

"How much for this slave? I don't like haggling or being taken advantage of, so I hope you can give me a reasonable price."

The slave trader looked troubled: "Count, if it were someone else, I wouldn't say this, but I dare not deceive you, this Archangel should normally sell for around 30 billion, but this guy has a terrible temper, and he seems to have no will to live. Several people have tried to buy him, but he has refused them all."

"Refuse? Can slaves refuse?"

"No, it's just that this guy doesn't want to live anymore. He's tried to kill himself several times, and we're losing our shirts on him. If you can subdue him, one-time offer, ten billion and you can take him away!"

Lin Zhen nodded. The value difference between the Constant Star Stage and Planet Stage was immense, with prices skyrocketing tens or even hundreds of times. Ten billion was not expensive at all.

Angel Clan is one of the powerful battle races in their level, born with Spiritual Mind Master abilities, control of light elements and winged for acceleration.

"Deal!"

Lin Zhen made up his mind to buy him.

The slave trader was overjoyed and immediately transferred the authority to manage through the smart life system. Only after Chris completed the process did the Archangel Jason open his eyes.

With a burst of holy white flames around him, he seemed tired of his wandering destiny and actually tried to self-destruct!

"Lord Jason!"

The Angel sisters called out in unison, and the process of Jason's self-destruction stopped.

"Angels who serve the God of Bright…you…how did you get here? You're knights now?" Jason couldn't believe what he saw, thinking that the fate of these two sisters should be miserable,

"Yes, Lord Jason, our master has granted us the status of knights. He's very kind, he's willing to lead us out of our suffering, and now you've been bought by our master, too. Come with us."

Jason looked at Lin Zhen and Lin Zhen timely released his Radiant Power. As one who resonated with Light Quantum, Lin Zhen had great affinity at this moment.

Jason was obviously tempted but still whispered, "But I am an Archangel under the God of Bright, born to fight. There's no place for me to use my skills right now… I…"

Lin Zhen had thought the Angel sisters could easily win over Jason, but this guy still seemed a bit depressed.

Little Angel blinked: "Lord Jason, our master has a bunch of scoundrels under him, look, even Shac is here. More than a thousand pirates serve our master. Don't you think you should help our master control these scoundrels?"

"Shac!" Jason's eyes lit up, and his gaze fell on Shac who had been cowering behind Lin Zhen.

"It really is you, you demon who actually managed to become a knight. Damn it, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

"You can't, I am now a knight to my master." Shac said weakly.

Jason also realized the change in status. At this moment, he found his direction: his fellow clan members were still there, along with a group of scoundrels. His sense of mission made him feel he couldn't let them go unattended. Besides, Lin Zhen, his new master, seemed really good.

"Jason pledges to loyally serve his master and ensure that these pirates do not cause trouble!"

Lin Zhen didn't expect Shac to be the one who reignited Jason's fighting spirit. It was a lucky coincidence.

Lin Zhen paid 10 billion Tianhe coins to purchase a Constant Star Level Spiritual Mind Master, which was quite a bargain. He happily helped Jason up and said, "In that case, I'll grant you the status of a Centurion."

Lin Zhen had a thousand knights, allowing for ten Centurions and one Thousand Cavalry Leader as the leaders of the knights.

Jason's face showed emotion: "I won't let you down, sir."

Only then was Lin Zhen truly satisfied. With Jason's addition, he finally had some people with impressive abilities under his command.

The group of people boarded the small shuttle and returned to the Black Pearl.

When Lin Zhen brought Jason and the others back aboard the Black Pearl, he discovered that it had already become a chaotic mess.

Stephen and Ronnie, among others, were adjusting the ship's firepower system, planning to seize the opportunity to make a heist on their way back to Lin Zhen's hometown.

They thought that Lin Zhen had purposefully bought them, a group of pirates, for the purpose of robbing and plundering. After all, there were scoundrels among the nobles, too.

These people even had matching pirate uniforms and were now fully dressed, waiting eagerly with bloodshot eyes to leave the Jade Star and enter the Star Sea, which they were most familiar with.

Translator: 549690339

Stephen and the others saw Lin Zhen coming in, and they wanted to say something at first, but stopped abruptly when they noticed Jason behind him.

Ronnie's face looked like he'd seen a ghost, "Shac, isn't this Jason, your arch-enemy who beat you down?"

"Yes, but now he is our Centurion."

Ronnie stopped talking, and Stephen looked constipated. It was clear that Jason wouldn't be easy to get along with, and the strong aura emanating from him made it evident that he was incredibly powerful.

Moreover, his marble-sculpted face looked like a stubborn antique. Having him as a Centurion meant that their days would likely be tough.

Jason, with a tightly clenched face and not a hint of a smile, sternly addressed the pirates, "Our count is incredibly busy and doesn't have much time to manage you all. But as long as I'm here, don't even think about causing any trouble. Get rid of your old habits, or I won't hesitate to clean up after you for him!"

The room fell silent. Challenging a stronger person was unwise, especially when that person was your boss.

Lin Zhen didn't care. These pirates needed someone to manage and supervise them, and Jason was an appropriate choice.

After Lin Zhen had integrated the pirates, all of those at the Comet Stage were part of the crew, responsible for maintaining and repairing the spaceship, as well as for navigating and fighting during the journey. They were well familiar with these tasks and didn't require training before starting.

Meanwhile, the 100 at the Satellite Stage were Lin Zhen's personal guard, as well as a combat team, led by his direct knights.

As a Centurion, Jason was more like a steward who managed the behavior of these pirates.

Of course, he would not care about small matters. As the only Constant Star Stage expert in the team, Lin Zhen expected him to practice, and it was impossible for him to suppress the pirates' nature too much. Lin Zhen needed tough subordinates, not a flock of sheep.

"Alright, we have completed our mission on Jade Star. Now, we will return to my hometown."

"Master, how far is your hometown from here?"

"About 30,000 light-years away."

"30,000 light-years? We could never make it there, even if we walked until we died…"

"We'll use a wormhole. I've set the coordinates. Let's go."

Lin Zhen closed his eyes. Ronnie and the others, who were once part of the Black Pearl, immediately started up the spaceship.

As the spaceship left the ground and a feeling of weightlessness passed through them, the Energy Blocks began to burn, and within seconds, the spaceship had burst through Jade Star's atmosphere.

It has to be said that the performance of this spaceship was superb. In just two minutes, it arrived at Jade Star's satellite and then entered a wormhole in the sand dunes.

Rushing out of the dazzling wormhole, they arrived above the Aurora Star, which was in the Virgo Star System.

"Wow! So we have arrived in the Virgo Star System so quickly. I've learned of another wormhole route. Maybe in the future I could consider coming to Jade Star for robbing. If I follow this wormhole, I will definitely be able to escape from the Imperial Army without a trace"

Ronnie shouted, then suddenly turned to Stephen, "Stephen, I remember you were active around the Virgo Star System, right?"

Stephen nodded, "Yes, our team has always been active here in the Virgo Star System. In fact, we're on the wanted list of 12,000 Life Planets here. Uh, all of us are."

Stephen's pirate crew had been wiped out by the Imperial Army, and now all the original members were bought by Lin Zhen. Unexpectedly, their first battle since setting off brought them back to this starry sky, which was quite emotional.

He pointed to a planet in the distance and said, "Look, that planet over there is called Aurora Star. We were caught because we robbed this star domain too much, including the Aurora Planet. We were here 30 years ago. This planet had a Four-nation Federation, and the councilors were all good-for-nothing, greedy, and timid. If you have money and power, you can handle anything."

"Everyone change your clothes. No more pirate outfits. Wear the uniform."

Before leaving, Lin Zhen had ordered a batch of uniforms with purple and gold edges. There was a round badge on the chest, with a Chinese dragon embroidered on it.

This was the emblem for Lin Zhen's family that he came up with. Initially, he had considered using flowers and plants, but eventually decided on using this dragon, which symbolized the Hua Xia people.

After being reborn, Lin Zhen wished for the people of Earth, especially the Hua Xia people, to accomplish great things among the stars. No other symbol was as iconic as this dragon.

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's order, everyone changed into the new uniforms. The slaves were crew members, and as Lin Zhen was a high-ranking noble, their uniforms also bore the family emblem, which prevented them from being discriminated against.

The spaceship sped through the starry sky at thousands of kilometers per second, with stars rapidly sweeping by in the distance. Soon, they were approaching the Aurora Star.

As they reached the Aurora Star, the spaceship slowed down and gently passed through the atmosphere.

"Slow down a bit, give the Aurora Star's radar time to scan us."

Earth had been invaded before. Lin Zhen didn't want to barge in and cause panic among common folks.

The Aurora Star was thousands of light-years away from Jade Star, and this remote and desolate planet had never experienced any major wars. The worst memory was being pillaged by pirates.

Even the tax department of the Tianhe Empire was reluctant to come to such a remote planet for tax collection. Taxes were sent through the Dimensional Universe.

So when Lin Zhen's spaceship entered halfway through the atmosphere at a snail's pace, the radar of the Aurora Planet finally detected it.

"Report! An unidentified flying object has entered our atmosphere!" the radar operator reported with fear to their superior.

The commander of the City Defense Army broke into a cold sweat upon seeing the Black Pearl.

Have interstellar pirates come to Aurora Star again? My goodness, what bad luck Aurora Star has! It was robbed just thirty years ago, and now they've come again.

"Im…Immediately establish contact with them to see who it is! I'll report to the Federation Congress right away."

The radar operator here immediately attempted to establish communication with the Black Pearl, while the commander reported to the Congress. The Congress was in session when they heard of the emergency, and the connection was immediately established.

"Honorable members of Congress, an unidentified spacecraft has entered the atmosphere of our Aurora Star. We have no idea about the performance and model of this spacecraft. The only sure thing is that its technology is far beyond that of our planet. I am a bit concerned. Do the members of Congress advise intercepting or attacking them?"

At this time, the signal was synchronized with the radar operator and the Congress.

"A communication signal from Aurora Star, Stephen, you take care of it, you're familiar with this place." Ronnie showed a mischievous grin. Although they couldn't rob them, it would be nice to have this pirate Stephen intimidate the people of Aurora Star.

Stephen nodded, straightened his clothes, and came before the large screen.

Behind him were two people from the Planet Stage, who were active participants in the robbery of Aurora Star back in the day. They were well-known and infamous figures on the Aurora Star, embodying the image of demons.

As the three of them stood before the screen, the screen flickered twice, and the Aurora Star Congress Hall appeared with more than thirty congressmen staring dumbfounded at Stephen and his men.

"Hi! Long time no see, dear Congressmen. I'm Stephen, and I'm back. Do you still remember me?"

There was complete silence on the other side of the room, not a sound to be heard.

Stephen frowned slightly: "What, have you all forgotten me so quickly? It's been only fifty years, and you don't remember me anymore?"

"Wow! It's the pirate Stephen!"

"It is him! I remember his face in my dreams!"

"And the Golden Eagle and Silver Eagle behind him, they are his minions."

"It's over, it's over. Misfortune has once again befallen Aurora Star. I heard that this guy was caught by the Tianhe Army. How could he still show up?"

The scene was in chaos as the congressmen hid wherever they could, wishing they could crawl under the table.

Stephen thought his attitude had been friendly enough but, seeing the congressmen's reactions, angrily said, "What are you doing? I'm no longer a pirate. Look at my uniform badge; I now serve under Empire Earl Lin Zhen. I am a knight of his. You fatheaded lot shouldn't look down on people."

"What? Empire Earl? Lin Zhen…Quickly look into this!"

A more courageous congressman crawled up and said with forced calmness.

At this moment, Lin Zhen appeared on the screen, "I am Empire Earl Lin Zhen. Don't be alarmed! My spacecraft will not cause any harm to you."

As Lin Zhen appeared, a congressman suddenly shouted, "I know this guy. He is a wanted criminal!"

"Governor of Qingniao City, are you sure?" The already anxious Speaker asked hurriedly.

"I am certain. Check the warrant from a few days ago. He is a wanted criminal in Aurora Star for stealing secrets and such. I even remember his name—it's Lin Zhen!"

On their side, someone was frantically checking the files and found out that Lin Zhen was indeed a wanted man in Aurora Star and was shown to be a poor man.

Lin Zhen looked at the chaotic scene on the screen and frowned. Just as he was about to explain himself, Ronnie suddenly said, "Master, the turbulence in this planet's atmosphere is quite strong and has blown off the two pieces of armor we put on the back of the ship."

"Is it blown off? What's the impact?"

"Uhm…There's no effect on the performance, but the words 'Black Pearl' and the skull are now exposed."

Lin Zhen closed his eyes, now it seemed that it was even harder to explain himself.

Originally wanting to have them verify his identity in the Dimensional Universe, the City Defense Army commander suddenly interrupted the video.

"Congressmen, it's not good. We've discovered the true identity of this ship. It's a notorious pirate ship, the Black Pearl. We've confirmed that several people on board are pirates, and this Lin Zhen must be their leader!"

The congressmen were instantly panic-stricken and pale. It's over; they were indeed pirates.

The terrified Speaker yelled, "What are our military forces doing, then? Fire! Shoot them down!"

The congressmen, including the Speaker, were panicking and fleeing out of the conference room while giving orders. The painful lesson of being ransacked by pirates thirty years ago was still fresh in their memory. They needed to find a safe place to hide before reporting the situation.

They still had hope. Ever since the ransacking, a Governor from the Tianhe Empire, a noble Baron, had been stationed in this star system. Under him was a powerful escort, including a Planet Stage guard captain. The Baron was the ruler of this star system.

As long as the Baron arrived, these pirates would not have an advantage. They hoped that the Federation Army could hold on a bit longer until the Governor arrived.

Seeing the flying saucer fighters rising from the planet below, and the weak and feeble firing, Lin Zhen became annoyed and closed the communication.

"Damn it! These people are so ungrateful. Stephen, you were right, these people are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. They've completely lost their judgement due to fear. If I were the leader of pirates, would I be speaking to them so gently? They dare to fire at my spaceship. They're seeking death!"

The pirates around him were excited, originally they thought that they couldn't have the chance to fight under the guidance of a noble. However, they didn't expect the pig-headed people on this planet to offend them. Offending a noble is a major sin. Now, they have a chance to attack.

"Master, should we retaliate? Their missiles and anti-aircraft guns are attacking our spaceship. Don't let them destroy our precious spaceship."

The Black Pearl is indeed precious. It originally cost 20 billion Tianhe coins. If converted into Earth's currency, that would be 20 trillion. They don't even know if the whole world can gather that much money.

Ronnie spoke up at this moment, "It won't get destroyed, our spaceship has ample energy reserves, and they can't break through our protective shield. Even without the shield, their firepower is not enough to damage us even if we stood still, allowing them to bombard us for decades."

"That's not acceptable, it's a matter of dignity. Master's face is the most important thing," Stephen said righteously, winking constantly at Ronnie.

Before Lin Zhen could answer, Jason, who had been standing silently behind him, spoke up.

"Master, shall I go out and kill all the people on this planet?"

Lin Zhen was stunned: "What did you say?"

"They offend the master. This is absolutely intolerable," Jason said proudly.

Lin Zhen put a hand to his forehead, thinking Jason was the most reliable, but forgetting that this guy's former master used to call himself a deity. As a constant star stage being, he didn't care about the life and death of lower beings.

Lin Zhen, of course, could not exterminate the people of the Aurora Planet, as he still counted on this place to serve as a transit station.

Even if Earth were to face danger one day, he would rather use the Aurora Planet as a battlefield than Earth.

"Destroy the flying saucer fighters and then eliminate any firepower that attacked us. Can you do it?" Lin Zhen asked Ronnie.

Ronnie immediately nodded, "Rest assured, Master. Our Black Pearl's firepower against these City Defense Army is child's play. Just watch."

Underneath the Black Pearl, the deck opened to reveal some gun ports.

The exterior was a pale golden shield, the Aurora Planet's defensive artillery and missiles bloomed into insignificant bursts of light outside, barely audible in their explosions.

"Retaliate! Fire!"

All gun ports were set up; Ronnie gave the order. The crew controlled the gun ports, with the radar on the Black Pearl already setting targets so energy wasn't wasted, aiming precisely.

One after another, laser cannons shot out of the gun ports. These laser cannons do not cause pollution or smoke, but their power was a hundred times stronger than orbiting artillery. In an instant, tens of thousands of shots went out, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.

Only fragments of flying saucers rolled and fell from the sky, while the firepower on the ground had gone entirely silent.

"Alright Master, the enemy's offensive forces have been completely destroyed by us. From now on, whether it's money or women, it's up to you…",

Lin Zhen heard An Qier's sisters glaring at Stephen, Ronnie, and their group. In their eyes as good-hearted angel sisters, these people were all villains.

Lin Zhen coughed, "It's best to restrain your habits. You are no longer pirates. Next, I think we should have a good talk with the big shots of this Aurora planet."

The Black Pearl quickly arrived at the Aurora Planet's capital city, Giant Elephant City.

The high-ranking politicians were just holding a meeting there.

When the giant starship appeared above Giant Elephant City, the people who had just watched the live broadcast were panicked, running and hiding, believing that a disaster was about to come.

Stephen shouted through the spaceship's loudspeaker, "Ordinary people don't need to worry at all. Our great Count Lin Zhen will not hurt you. We just want to see the leaders of the Aurora Planet and have a chat with our councilor friends. Please come out."

Seeing that Lin Zhen and his people did not attack, the ordinary people gradually calmed down. If it was a disaster, running wouldn't help.

However, the politicians did not come out, hiding in some unknown place.

Ronnie was annoyed, "These ignorant people, do they think we can't find them if they hide? Master, I will soon be able to detect the locations of these politicians through the life scanner on the spaceship. Even if they hide underground, we can dig them out."

The life scanner on the Black Pearl was even more powerful than that of Sky City, and quickly locked onto the politicians' locations.

"Shout again and let them come out."

Lin Zhen issued the order again, Ronnie kept shouting but, after several shouts over ten minutes, the officials still remained hidden like scared turtles.

Lin Zhen also lost patience: "Go, bring them out."

The strongest person on this planet is only at Satellite Level 9, and there is not even a single planet-level being here, making it impossible for them to resist Lin Zhen.

Just as Shac was preparing to lead his people to capture the politicians, suddenly an alarm sounded on the Black Pearl.

"Please note, a spaceship is quickly approaching, current distance, 100,000 kilometers…"

Lin Zhen waved his hand for Shac to stop, no wonder these council members didn't come out, so there are reinforcements.

That's fine, having someone who can talk normally is just in line with Lin Zhen's plan.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the opponent's spacecraft finally appeared in sight.

Baron Huaxili is the governor of this sector of the starry sky, living on an asteroid. Hearing that pirates had appeared in Aurora Star and that Stephen had returned, he came here with a hardened scalp.

Stephen is a Planet Ninth-level Spiritual Mind Master, and the strongest under his hand is only Planet Sixth-level, so he dares not collide with Stephen.

But because of his duty, he had no choice but to come. Seeing the Black Pearl, he didn't act rashly but actively connected with the other party's communication.

When he saw Lin Zhen on the screen, he took the initiative to speak: "Are you the owner of the Black Pearl?"

"Yes."

"I am the Imperial Governor, Baron Huaxili. I warn you now; this place belongs to the Tianhe Empire's territory. No matter how strong you are, you can't fight against the Empire. Leave now, and I can pretend that nothing happened."

Huaxili didn't dare to be too tough, as he saw Lin Zhen standing behind a group of strong ones, including not only Stephen but also two Planet Eighth-level ones.

Even that six-winged member of the Angel Clan was actually at Constant Star Stage!

These people could crush his power into slag. The emperor was far away in this high mountain, and he didn't want to be killed by pirates. If things go wrong, he will run away immediately.

"So it seems, Baron Huaxili doesn't believe in my identity as an Empire Earl?"

"Stop bullshitting, would an Empire Earl drive the Black Pearl with a group of pirates? And being a wanted criminal in Aurora Planet? You think I'm an idiot." Huaxili simply didn't believe.

At this time, Ronnie whispered to Lin Zhen that they had checked Huaxili's family background.

His grandfather was a Viscount, who also had a mansion on Jade Star.

"Okay, enter the Dimensional Universe, and we'll meet at your grandfather's house in three minutes!"

Lin Zhen roared angrily and shut down the communication system, immediately calling Shangguan Jiao in the Dimensional Universe.

"What's up, brother? Missing me?" Shangguan Jiao was in the Dimensional Universe and replied immediately.

Lin Zhen briefly described a few things, and Shangguan Jiao raised his eyebrows when he heard them: "This Baron has some nerve. Brother, don't worry; I've got this. I'll call my friends over, and we'll scare the hell out of him."

Lin Zhen said a few more things, and Shangguan Jiao chuckled: "Alright, let's do it your way. If I don't knock the chips out of him this time, I'm wasting my time."

A minute later, Lin Zhen appeared at Viscount Huaxili's mansion.

Soon, the figures appeared around, and Shangguan Jiao's friends showed up one after another.

There was an old Viscount at the door, who was shrinking back when he arrived here, nodding again and again with a fawning expression when he saw Lin Zhen.

Shangguan Jiao introduced to Lin Zhen: "Brother, this is Viscount Huaxili, the grandfather of the Baron you saw."

Lin Zhen snorted and ignored him.

"Huaxili, I don't mean to criticize you, but your grandson has no sense of propriety. He dares to offend Earl Lin Zhen, and if he fails to get Lin Zhen's forgiveness, your Huaxili family is in for some major trouble!"

"Yes, yes, what the Crown Prince said is right. When that little bastard comes back, I will definitely teach him a good lesson." Viscount Huaxili wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not daring to breathe.

Huaxili nervously greeted the big shots that he couldn't usually see, busy and sweating.

At this time, Huaxili returned to Viscount's mansion, and at first glance, he saw Lin Zhen: "You pirate, you really dare to come! Grandfather, this person…"

"Slap!"

Viscount Huaxili slapped his grandson's face with a loud slap: "Rascal, how dare you be rude to Earl Lin Zhen? Did I teach you to behave like this? Kneel down now, and in front of Prince Shangguan Crown Prince and all the gentlemen, apologize to Earl Lin Zhen. If Earl Lin Zhen doesn't forgive you, you better die kneeling here!"

Baron Huaxili noticed the people around him, and after seeing Shangguan Jiao, he regretted his actions, knowing that he was in big trouble.

He rolled and crawled to Lin Zhen's feet: "Earl, I was really misled by those bastards. They said you were a pirate and a wanted criminal, and I didn't investigate it carefully and talked nonsense. You're a magnanimous person, so please let me go this time."

Lin Zhen then lowered his head slightly: "You see, I'm a vengeful person. Huaxili, your offense to me will bring great disaster to your family. Do you think I can let you go just because you say a few words?"

"Then… Lord, what do you want?"

"I didn't say anything; it's up to you." Lin Zhen closed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself that he had truly degraded. He had already investigated that Huaxili had not seriously fished for the past few years, and there was no need to be soft to such people. Besides, he still had a debt of more than 100 billion; he had to get some back no matter what.

Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Return to Earth

Translator: 549690339

"Baron Huaxili, as far as I know, this high-quality energy block was left on an unmanned star by a cargo ship. When I was a pirate, I received news about it, but I didn't have the opportunity to plunder it before I was caught. You'd better not think about hiding it from the Count."

"There are so many stars in this star field, and there are 150 owned by Baron Huaxili alone, including two life planets and four mineral planets. You have made a fortune in the past thirty years, haven't you? How can you even mention such a price of ten billion Tianhe coins?"

"It's just a Poison Mist Mountain on the Aurora Planet, is our great master, Count Lin Zhen, not worthy of having such a low hill? There is no room for negotiation in this matter; the Poison Mist Mountain and the area within a thousand kilometers belong to our master's territory. If we cannot reach an agreement on this, I believe the Baron would lose control of this star field."

"No need for beauties, just convert them into cash. The master prefers money… "

Huaxili gritted his teeth and glared at Stephen in front of him, his heart full of hatred for this former interstellar pirate.

This unexpected incident was not due to pirates, but the actual loss calculated was countless times worse than being plundered by interstellar pirates.

After all, when pirates come, you can still hide the good stuff, but not now. Stephen is familiar with everything in Virgo and can even calculate how much property Huaxili has.

Moreover, the other party negotiated terms one by one. In the past thirty years, Huaxili had accumulated approximately six or seven billion Tianhe coins, and now he was blackmailed into giving away fifty billion of them.

There was a cargo ship carrying high-quality energy blocks that had crashed on an unmanned star here. He had just discovered it not long ago. He didn't dare to take action all at once and wanted to sell it little by little. The value was about thirty billion Tianhe coins, but Lin Zhen's pirate group had moved ninety percent of it onto the Black Pearl.

Also, the Poison Mist Mountain on the Aurora Planet, a valuable place producing Poison Insect Crystals, was shamelessly demanded by Lin Zhen to be given to him as a warehouse area.

Even the beauties sent to Lin Zhen, hoping he would give some preferential treatment for Huaxili, were sent back by Lin Zhen, demanding Huaxili to convert them into cash, totaling a value of 200 million.

For Lin Zhen's behavior of taking everything, Huaxili was furious but dared not speak out. Otherwise, with Lin Zhen's friends, they would definitely leave nothing behind for the Huaxili family.

The wealth accumulated over the years was taken away by Lin Zhen, causing his heart to bleed.

"Lin Zhen… you are so cruel! Since you're so heartless, I swear to take my revenge on you!"

"Hurry up and load the ship, we're ready to leave."

Lin Zhen directed the crew to load the energy blocks onto the spaceship.

In his hand, he held a purchase agreement: The owner of this star field, Baron Huaxili, voluntarily sold the Poison Mist Mountain on Aurora Planet and its surrounding area within a thousand kilometers to Empire Earl Lin Zhen for five billion Tianhe coins.

Of course, there was a record of this transaction. The two of them transferred the money in person at the Jade Star branch, and the purchase agreement was certified as valid and genuine.

However, all the money came from Huaxili himself. Lin Zhen simply took his money, deposited it, and transferred it back to him.

He knew that Huaxili must hate him to the bone, but Lin Zhen didn't care too much. Huaxili's strength wasn't strong, and Aurora Planet was too far away from Earth. As long as he couldn't find the wormhole, it would be difficult for him to reach Earth.

The Poison Mist Mountain was under martial law, and from now on, this territory belonged to Lin Zhen. He didn't send too many people to manage it temporarily, just leaving two Gold and Silver Eagles of the Fifth Level Planetary to guard it until he was done with Earth's affairs and could return.

Under the gaze of the people on Aurora Planet, the Black Pearl took off.

To the people of Aurora Planet, this Count seemed not so bad, at least he didn't have any behavior of looting or harming civilians.

The Black Pearl just went invisible, and this planet's technology couldn't detect it at all. Now that the spaceship had more energy blocks, Lin Zhen could use it freely.

They broke through the atmosphere and made a U-turn, directly entering the depths of the Poison Mist Mountain.

Only a spaceship of the Black Pearl's quality could be unaffected by the poisonous mist.

After passing through a large cave, they entered the wormhole directly.

A few minutes later, the spaceship emerged from Mount Olympus on Mars.

"Oh! What a beautiful starry sky!"

"Master, is this your hometown?"

"Idiot, the master's hometown is Earth. We still need to travel for a while."

It took Lin Zhen more than a day, about thirty hours, to reach Mars when he first came, but the return trip would be much faster, taking only about seven hours.

"Let's go, head for Earth. I need to hurry back. The situation in my hometown is a bit tense."

"Understood, Master. The route has been set, and the estimated arrival time is six hours and forty-five minutes!"

Ronnie agreed, and the spaceship suddenly accelerated, moving away from the surface of Mars.

"Four days have passed, and there's still no trace of Lin Zhen?"

Ya Xuan asked the staff somewhat annoyed. The progress during this period was not smooth. Yan Qiyue couldn't be found, and neither could Lin Zhen. Hua Xia people would never give up unless these two were captured.

But Hua Xia people don't give up, and other countries on Earth still have hope.

Countess Diana was already very dissatisfied with his progress. If he didn't give her an explanation, he would be in big trouble.

"Baron Ya Xuan, I'm so sorry, Lin Zhen has escaped to space, and our search team went looking for him, but he seemed to have disappeared in the stars. Maybe he's already dead."

"Impossible, his name is still on the Heavenly Star List. This guy definitely won't go far. His hometown is here, his friends and family are here. Where can he go… wait a minute!"

Ya Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right! We can't find Lin Zhen, but we can catch his family. Yan Qiyue has lived for hundreds of years and has no relatives, but Lin Zhen is young, and he has parents and a girlfriend. As long as we catch them, Lin Zhen will definitely show up."

"Sir, is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? They are not Empire citizens, just indigenous people without even an ID card. I can catch and kill them as I please."

The staff member did not speak again as he forgot that they were not on the Jade Star.

"But sir, we have scanned before and found no trace of Lin Zhen's family or his two girlfriends. If we don't find these four people, other people probably won't have much influence on Lin Zhen."

"I know. According to my speculation, Lin Zhen is very cunning. From being able to alert the Hua Xia people in advance, he must have arranged for his family to be moved in advance."

"So how do we find them?"

"Increase the power of the scanner, search every inch of Earth. His family must still be on Earth. Once it's discovered that an area is covered by energy, it's very likely that people are hidden there."

"Understood, I'll start right away."

The staff member began operating the scanner, scanning every piece of land on Earth with the scanning light.

Starting from Asia, the scanning light did not miss any corner, even the underground air-raid shelters were scanned one by one.

"No findings in the Asia region…"

"Keep scanning, the Europe region!"

"No findings in the Europe region, Sir Ya Xuan."

"Still able to hide, continue scanning the Africa region!"

"No findings in the Africa region!"

"Report, no findings in South America!"

"Report, no findings in North America too!"

Soon, the reports all went back to Ya Xuan, only the ancient god relics were not scanned, the remaining places were scanned, but there were no results.

Ya Xuan's fingers gently tapped on the table: "They can't live in the ancient god relics. Lin Zhen's parents don't have that ability and they definitely won't live in the ocean. If they are not in these five big regions, then only Australia and Antarctica can be considered continents, and the remaining islands, don't miss those places too."

The scanning light continued to work, scanning the remaining lands on Earth one by one.

"Report, a one-square-kilometer shadow zone has been found on the Australian mainland."

"Haha! It must be here. There's only such a small area on Earth that cannot be scanned. It must be the refuge that Lin Zhen left for his family."

Ya Xuan clapped excitedly: "It's said that Lin Zhen's two girlfriends just entered the Star Realm, and his parents are only War Generals. Their strength is not worth mentioning. Send a squadron to capture them now, remember, catch them alive."

A squadron leader at the Satellite Stage led ten Comet Stage experts. Capturing Lin Zhen's family was more than enough.

A spaceship left the war fortress and headed towards the Australian mainland.

Lin Zhen emerged from the bottom of the Bermuda sea.

He had already sensed the life scanner scanning the Australian continent. His family was there, hidden by Baggio with the help of the ascetic monks using secret methods on mutated beast skin to isolate the scanner, but at this time, they definitely could not hide.

As long as you were on Earth and your opponents were willing to search, you couldn't hide.

Lin Zhen had been practicing time acceleration and resonating energy atoms under the sea these days.

The abundant water vapor on the seabed finally allowed Lin Zhen to resonate with the water atom, which was the third energy atom he resonated with.

His Dantian energy had long been accumulated to the point where it could break through, but he had been suppressing it. He would not be content to break through without resonating with the seven kinds of atoms.

His opponents moved a bit fast. In two hours, the Black Pearl would return to Earth.

Nothing can go wrong in these two hours!

Lin Zhen took out his small flying vehicle, and from the Bermuda waters, also flew towards the Australian mainland.

Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Arrival of the Black Pearl (3rd update)

Translator: 549690339

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! We're approaching the Australian mainland."

Following Ya Xuan's orders, the squadron crossed the Indian Ocean and arrived above the Australian mainland.

"Captain, ahead is the Sydney Ancient City Ruins, the place where we discovered the shadow."

"Lock onto the coordinates and speed up. I want to see what's hiding under that shadow!"

The spaceship accelerated, emitting a piercing sound in the air as it rapidly approached the old city area of Sydney.

Sydney was once the largest city here, but after the God Transformation Day began, the people of Australia were confined on the island with nowhere to escape, eventually leading to the nation's demise. The once-prosperous Sydney became a wasteland.

"It's right there, the Olympic Center. It is said that this stadium hosted some Olympic Games. This is the location of the shadow."

"Land."

The spaceship slowly descended.

However, before they could land, something unexpected happened!

A strong Holy Light suddenly burst out from inside the stadium and directly hit the descending spaceship!

Although this spaceship was small, it was still a product of the technology of the Tianhe Empire, far stronger than any Earth aircraft. Even ordinary missiles could hardly bring it down, but the intensity of this Holy Light exceeded their expectations!

Boom!

"Alert! Alert, the spaceship has suffered a heavy blow, the control system is damaged, and it will self-destruct in thirty seconds. Please evacuate as soon as possible!"

"Damn it! Who are these people? This Holy Light's power is something that even an ordinary Satellite Stage has a hard time emitting. Is there a Satellite Stage person guarding here?"

The Satellite Stage squadron leader and his team broke open the cabin door to escape, but as soon as they came out, another intense Holy Light bombarded them.

"Judgment of Light!"

This time, only the Satellite Stage squad leader and three Comet Stage experts managed to escape while the remaining seven at Comet Stage were reduced to ashes under the impact of the Judgment of Light.

"Who the hell are you?"

The squadron leader was furious, with his Star Power pouring out around him. He pulled out his weapon and entered a combat mode.

Inside the stadium, a group of people in white robes rose into the air.

One of the people in white robes was Baggio. Now a Comet Level 9, Baggio was followed by twenty Ascetic monks who had reached the Comet Stage. As they floated in the air, their powerful Holy Light energy stirred around them, causing the squadron leader to secretly feel alarmed.

"Who are you? Are Lin Zhen's family here?"

"No comment. Your only choice is to leave."

Baggio's mission was to protect Lin Zhen's parents and two girlfriends here. Now that the aliens had arrived, he naturally had to fight.

"You Earth people have just killed citizens of a higher civilization, committing an unforgivable sin! Don't think that your combined attack skill is invincible. You only gained an advantage because you launched a sneak attack earlier; there won't be such an opportunity next time. Let's go."

The Satellite Stage squad leader was not afraid. At most, these Earth people were only Comet Level 9, absolutely not his match.

Along with three Comet Late Stage warriors, the four of them pounced violently on Baggio and the Ascetic monks.

The battle between the two sides began in the old city area of Sydney. However, the combat was not as one-sided as the squadron leader had imagined, but rather turned into a stalemate.

The Ascetic monks fought systematically and demonstrated powerful combined attacks. Centered on Baggio, they never acted recklessly. Relying on their strong Holy Light power, they clashed with their opponents, like a porcupine bristling with spikes, leaving them unable to find an opening to attack.

At this time, three groups of people were rushing towards Sydney.

One was Lin Zhen's main body, rapidly approaching from the Bermuda marine area, less than a thousand kilometers away from here.

Another group had set out from Hua Xia, led by Ya Xuan himself. As soon as the squadron's spacecraft was destroyed, he realized something was wrong and immediately led his troops to attack from Hua Xia.

The last group was on the Black Pearl.

At this time, the Black Pearl had reached its maximum speed of 1,500 kilometers per second, which was unmatched by any Earth aircraft.

The azure blue planet ahead had already appeared on the radar coordinates.

"Master, we're still 1.5 star miles from Earth."

One star mile was a million kilometers, so 1.5 star miles meant the Black Pearl needed nearly seventeen more minutes to reach Earth.

"Hmm, maintain the speed and adjust the coordinates to the old city of Sydney on the Australian mainland."

Ten minutes later, Lin Zhen's main body was the first to arrive at the battlefield in Sydney.

The Ascetic monks were almost unable to hold on any longer. Although they had killed the three Comet Stage opponents, they couldn't stand against the Satellite Level 4 Squadron leader. Ten Ascetic monks had already been killed in battle.

Lin Zhen's main body did not escape the notice of the Satellite Stage expert. When he saw Lin Zhen, his face even showed an incredulous delight.

"Hahaha! Lin Zhen, you finally appeared. Perfect, this time we'll catch you all in one net."

Lin Zhen sneered, suddenly teleporting and quickly appearing before the Satellite Stage expert.

He didn't use his Yin-Yang Spear, but directly threw himself at the Satellite Stage expert with open arms.

"Seeking death!"

The Satellite Stage expert raised his sword, intending to slay Lin Zhen.

But at this moment, the speed of Lin Zhen in front of him suddenly increased!

He originally thought the other party's speed had reached its limit, but it could actually double again, reaching him in an instant, and holding him tightly with both arms!

"Baggio! Judgment of Light!"

Lin Zhen gave Baggio an order, and Baggio had already prepared as well, gathering the power of the remaining ten ascetic monks to unleash a powerful Judgment of Light upon Lin Zhen and the Satellite Stage!

"You can't take me down with you! You can't hold me!"

The Satellite Stage was shocked, thinking that Lin Zhen was trying to bring him down together with him. He had participated in many battles to conquer other planets, but he didn't want to be Lin Zhen's backup. He was a high-ranking civilization citizen, and his life was worth more than Lin Zhen's.

It was already too late to shake off Lin Zhen, so he rushed towards the side, with his Star Power, he should be able to break free from Lin Zhen's grasp.

Lin Zhen showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "Don't struggle, you are dead."

Foldable Space!

Dark Star operated the Foldable Space, trapping both Lin Zhen and the captain within.

The captain's efforts to escape slammed into the Space Barrier, achieving nothing.

With a thought, Lin Zhen removed the Foldable Space, and at this moment, Baggio's Holy Light arrived.

The huge pillar of light shot towards the sky, and the captain closed his eyes in pain before he died, thinking that he had ended up as a back-up for Lin Zhen, and it wasn't worth it.

However, he didn't know that Lin Zhen had already mastered the Light Quantum, and was immune to Holy Light. The only person who was truly vaporized by the Holy Light was him.

It was precisely because Baggio knew this that he didn't hesitate to use the Judgment of Light against Lin Zhen.

Watching his body disintegrating in mid-air, Lin Zhen clapped his hands: "You thought I wanted to die with you, yet you didn't realize that your life was truly worthless compared to mine."

After accomplishing the feat, Lin Zhen didn't hesitate and immediately rushed into the gymnasium.

Inside the gymnasium, Lin Liye and Li Qin, were anxiously watching the battle outside with An Ning and Yue'er by their side.

Seeing Lin Zhen enter, the four of them let out a long sigh of relief.

Parents, two girlfriends, everyone's eyes were a bit red, looking at Lin Zhen, they saw the backbone.

Unknowingly, Lin Zhen had become the support of everyone, and in the face of a powerful Extraterrestrial Civilization, Lin Zhen was the only hope of Earth's people.

Feeling apologetic, Lin Zhen walked to his loved ones: "Uh… Dad, Mom, Ah Ning, and Yue'er, I'm really sorry, but I promise this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."

Lin Liye nodded, "It's okay, your mother and the two of them have been worried."

Li Qin shook her head: "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense, I'm a War General now, I'm not as fragile as before."

An Ning and Su Mingyue gazed at Lin Zhen with love-filled eyes, making Lin Zhen's heart warm.

However, now isn't the time for these things. Lin Zhen asked his family: "Is the Black Ghost still there?"

"Yes, it's in the warehouse."

"Come on, let's go up. Those aliens from Hua Xia are coming, they'll be here in a minute. We have to buy a few minutes."

"Will buying a few minutes be useful?" Li Qin was worried.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Everyone, including Baggio and the ascetic monks, boarded the Black Ghost, Earth's best-performing flying vehicle, and flew straight towards the atmosphere.

As soon as they took off, Ya Xuan's fleet arrived.

"Lord Ya Xuan, look, that flying vehicle belongs to Lin Zhen, they seem to be trying to break through the atmosphere and escape!"

"Thinking of running? Can they escape? Give chase, and try to catch them alive. As long as we catch Lin Zhen, Hua Xia will completely submit to us."

Ya Xuan's fleet immediately chased after Lin Zhen's Black Ghost.

Although the Black Ghost was the best flying vehicle on Earth, it was far behind the technology of the Tianhe Empire. In less than a minute, it was caught up by Ya Xuan's fleet.

"Prepare the Trap Web, catch this little fly, and make it a fish in a barrel!" Ya Xuan sneered.

The Trap Web was a huge metal net projected by the energy cannons, capable of enveloping small flying vehicles.

Just as they were about to fire, a huge shadow came from the sky above.

"Warning! Warning! All personnel, please be aware of an unidentified flying object is approaching us!"

"Warning! Warning! Unidentified flying object identified as the Black Pearl…"

Beep Beep Beep Beep!!!

The harsh alarm kept ringing; the name "Black Pearl" shocked everyone, including Ya Xuan.

"Damn it! How did those bastards from the Black Pearl get to this star domain? Even the Empire hasn't fully explored here yet, how could they be here?"

"It's over! It's over, I haven't even gotten married yet. I'm a soldier of the Empire, I don't want to be a pirate's slave!"

"I knew I should have brought the war fortress. At least there would be some resistance. Take a look at this place; this shitty firepower can't compete with them."

"Look closely! Lin Zhen's flying vehicle is being captured by the Black Pearl!"

Ya Xuan looked up and saw that Lin Zhen's Black Ghost had flown straight into the huge hull of the Black Pearl!

Translator: 549690339

The moment the Black Pearl appeared, Ya Xuan felt a sense of dread.

He had heard all about this pirate ship, which had been causing trouble in the stars for years. The Empire's military had racked their brains trying to capture the Black Pearl.

But it seemed like this ship had been captured a while ago, right? The Empire's media had even reported on it, so how could it be here now?

If it really was those pirates, the fleet he brought today, over twenty spaceships, would probably be finished here.

With a glimmer of hope, Ya Xuan tried to communicate with the Black Pearl through the console.

Soon, the communication was connected.

Seeing Ronnie's effeminate face, Ya Xuan instantly felt like everything had gone wrong. It really was the pirates!

"You…you guys escaped from prison?" Ya Xuan asked tentatively.

Ronnie showed a strange smile, "Baron Ya Xuan, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you really think I, a noble knight, would be locked up in prison?"

"What? You're a knight?"

Ya Xuan looked at the group of pirates, who had been on countless wanted lists. Each of them had a golden dragon embroidered on them, which should be the emblem of some noble family. However, he had never seen this emblem before.

Ya Xuan, who considered himself knowledgeable and well-traveled, did not believe Ronnie's words at all. These pirates usually liked to toy with their victims before robbing them. How could they become knights? To become a knight, one must be taken in by high-ranking nobles, and he doubted that any noble in the Empire would be foolish enough to do so.

"You don't need to worry about that. But my master is very unhappy with what you have done, as you know, as knights, our master's will is the highest command for us, so I've decided to teach you and your army, who have wasted the Empire's resources, a harsh lesson."

The numerous cannons on the Black Pearl all opened up in layers, preparing to fire the energy cannons.

"Wait!"

Ya Xuan's forehead sweat dropped, "You can't do this. I am a noble of the Empire, and attacking me is illegal."

"Ha ha ha! Listen to what he's saying! He is actually talking about legality with me, Ronnie. Doesn't he know who I am?" Ronnie laughed loudly and spoke to the pirates next to him. They all laughed arrogantly and pointed at Ya Xuan as if he were an idiot.

A squad leader next to Ya Xuan said, "Sir, talking about the law with these pirates is like playing the lute to a cow. They only care about wealth and profit."

Ya Xuan suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, "You gain nothing from attacking me. I know you escaped from prison, but don't worry, I won't report you as long as you let me go."

"Do you really mean what you just said?" Ronnie's smile became even more bizarre.

"I swear, I will never report you," Ya Xuan thought. Anyway, he was just trying to buy time until Countess Diana's Sky City arrived. For now, all he needed to do was stall the fight.

He even poured oil on the fire, continuing, "That aircraft you just captured was from a native on Earth. That guy must be quite rich. His assets should be worth a few hundred million Tianhe coins after being liquidated. Moreover, he has two very beautiful girlfriends who can be sold for a good price in the slave market. This trip wasn't a waste for you."

Ronnie looked at him, "Are you talking about a man named Lin Zhen?"

"Yes, yes, exactly. His name is Lin Zhen."

"Then come to the Dimensional Universe, and I'll have you confirm it."

Ronnie gave him the Dimensional Universe code, and Ya Xuan followed him in. They met face-to-face in the Dimensional Universe, where Ronnie showed him a picture.

"Look, is this the man you want me to sell in the slave market?"

"That's right, it's Lin Zhen. You can do whatever you want with his girlfriends."

"So, your pursuit just now was to capture Lin Zhen's girlfriends and family?"

"Yes, we wanted to capture his parents and girlfriends."

"Alright, Baron Ya Xuan, I have recorded everything you just said. You intended to attack an Empire Count and coincidentally, this count is my master. So as a knight of my master, I can retaliate against you and your fleet. Prepare to die now."

"Who is it? Who is your master?"

Ronnie glanced at him, "Lin Zhen."

After saying that, Ronnie exited the Dimensional Universe, and Ya Xuan, somewhat dazed, also exited.

Lin Zhen's face had already appeared on the screen, giving a cold order.

"Baron Ya Xuan, you have intended to attack a count of the Empire and tried to sell this count and his girlfriends as slaves. As my knights, it's time for you to protect your master. Blast these bandits to pieces!"

"Fire!"

Instantly, the Black Pearl unleashed a barrage of gunfire, and Ya Xuan's fleet was in big trouble.

The vast technological gap resulted in catastrophic consequences. Within a minute, just one minute, only Ya Xuan's lone flagship remained, and the other twenty spaceships had all been blasted to bits by the Black Pearl.

Ya Xuan's flagship performed well, dodging desperately in the air until its protective shield was shattered, forcing Ya Xuan to abandon the ship and flee.

As a Baron and fleet commander of the Empire, Ya Xuan's realm had reached Planet Eighth-level. If he escaped, it would be tough for Lin Zhen and his group to stop him.

In his eyes, only Ronnie could be considered an expert among the pirates, also at Planet Eighth-level. He believed that even if he couldn't beat them, he could still outrun them.

"Lin Zhen, don't even think about harming me! The people I am hunting are natives of this planet. Even if you become a count, your family still has no status. I haven't broken the law! When Countess Diana arrives, I will settle the score with you!"

In just a short time, he had already confirmed Lin Zhen's identity.

Although Lin Zhen was a Count and had the right to issue chips, obtaining chips needed Points, and Lin Zhen had just gained the status of Count, so he probably didn't have time to get chips yet.

As long as he can escape now, he'll be fine.

On the North American Continent, Countess Diana's flying ship is rushing over.

She brought with her all the elites of this expedition, with as many as a hundred Planet Stage masters, while Diana herself is a super-level master at Constant Star Level 1.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Ya Xuan is in danger if we're even a moment late. I didn't expect a Count of the Empire to emerge on Earth, things have become a bit more complicated."

"Count, don't worry. Ya Xuan is very strong and won't be captured easily. We'll reach Australia in just two minutes!"

Ya Xuan broke out of the destroyed flagship and swiftly headed in the direction of North America.

Sky City was in North America, and he had already informed Countess Diana. As long as he could hold out until the reinforcements arrived, he would have a chance to survive.

He had just escaped when he saw Ronnie appear from the north to intercept him.

He immediately turned and ran east. It would be fine if he made it to South America, which also had Imperial forces.

However, Shac, with a pair of Devil horns on his head, stood in his way, grinning at him.

"Damn, I forgot the Black Pearl had two deputy captains."

With no other choice, Ronnie turned and ran eastward back to the Asian Continent, where his forces were still assembled.

However, Stephen, a Planet Ninth-level Spiritual Mind Master, suddenly appeared in front of him, smirking at Ya Xuan: "Baron Ya Xuan, where do you plan to go now?"

Unexpecting such a high-level opponent, Ya Xuan's face showed panic. Biting his teeth, he decided to head south instead. As long as he crossed the Antarctic continent, he could circle around to the other hemisphere.

But as soon as he flew south, he saw an angel with six wings hovering in the air behind him.

The angel's body was burning with holy flames, and a dazzling golden sword was in his hand. His cold gaze sent a chill through Ya Xuan's bones.

"A Constant Star Level! There's actually a Constant Star Stage master here! Oh god! Linzhen has just been promoted to Count, how could he have such a powerful slave!"

"Slash!"

With a flap of Archangel Jason's wings, he appeared in front of Ya Xuan with near-instantaneous speed, and forcefully slashed down with his sword!

Once the sword was drawn, the Holy Flame Domain appeared!

"It's actually a Constant Star who has mastered the domain! I'm done for!"

Only those who comprehend the domain are considered true geniuses. This Angel Clan master had a stable domain, demonstrating his long experience, and Ya Xuan was no match for him.

With his eyes closed, Ya Xuan felt a sense of resignation.

Jason's hand shifted into a chop, striking the back of Ya Xuan's neck and knocking him unconscious.

"Master, I've captured him."

Lin Zhen flew over, removed Ya Xuan's mental defense artifact, and then used Soul Lock to control his soul.

Ya Xuan was not a Spiritual Mind Master, he had only practiced mental combat techniques. Without the protection of his artifact in his unconscious state, he quickly succumbed to Lin Zhen's successful Soul Lock.

By the time he opened his eyes, he had become Lin Zhen's mental slave.

Just as all this was completed, a flying ship was quickly approaching from afar.

Aboard the ship, the white Snow Lotus emblem signified the identity of a high-ranking noble.

Countess Diana had arrived!

"Hehe, the rightful invaders of Earth have arrived. Let's see the prestige of this female Count."

Lin Zhen led his men onto the Black Pearl and proactively activated the communication system to connect with the incoming ship.

With a flicker, Diana appeared on the screen.

A black robe with purple patterns, her face as cold as ice, Countess Diana's first question was aimed at Lin Zhen.

"Lin Zhen! In order to save a few inhabitants of native planets, you actually attacked the Empire's soldiers! Do you really think that just because they are your family, they can be placed above the interests of the Empire?"

Diana was very clever. She didn't focus on Lin Zhen's status, since he was also an Empire Count with equal standing. To gain the upper hand, she needed to grasp logic.

Lin Zhen was a Count, but his family did not hold the same status, which was his weak point.

As the captured Ya Xuan was about to say something, Diana stopped him.

"Baron Ya Xuan, you don't need to speak. Today's conversation is between Lin Zhen and me. Lin Zhen, if you can't provide me with a reasonable explanation, I'll take today's matter to the Imperial Noble Court through the Dimensional Universe and have your noble status stripped!"

Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Issuing of Identity

Translator: 549690339

Facing Diana's questioning, Lin Zhen only gave a cold sneer, and then called out his family.

His parents, his two girlfriends, as soon as the four appeared, Diana was immediately dumbstruck.

Because all four of them were dressed in the attire of imperial nobility, albeit only the lowest rank of Knight, it was indeed genuine nobility.

"So, Miss Diana, would you like to go to the Dimensional Universe to verify their identities? To see if their Knighthood is fabricated?"

"There's no need!"

Diana's face looked cold. She knew she had lost this round.

Lin Zhen came prepared. He not only advanced to the rank of Count but also promoted his family to the rank of Knight. So in this case, he was right all along.

She was sure to lose if things were handled through normal channels!

"Count Lin Zhen, I never thought there would be someone like you on Earth. As a person of a lower-level civilization, you astonish me," she said.

"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Zhen replied with a gleaming smile.

"But don't get too happy just yet. You and your family are safe now, but can you save everyone else on Earth? I will sell those captured martial artists as slaves, and your selfish actions to safeguard your family will undoubtedly earn the contempt of the rest of the Earth's people. Eventually, your friends will distance from you, and there will be no place for you on Earth. You should take your family and this crew of pirates somewhere far away!"

"There's no need for Miss Diana to worry about that. You focus on your people. Perhaps, one day, you'll have to leave with your tail between your legs."

Having said that, Lin Zhen, in control of the Black Pearl, prepared to depart. He was not in a position to directly confront Diana at the moment.

"Don't go, you must release Baron Ya Xuan. He is an aristocrat. You have no right to execute him!"

"I'm taking Baron Ya Xuan back to Hua Xia. So, you needn't worry."

The Black Pearl sped away at an incredible speed and quickly disappeared from sight.

Diana was certain that Lin Zhen wouldn't dare hurt Ya Xuan. For now, she felt a headache; Lin Zhen's appearance had disrupted her plans.

"I must sell the prisoners as soon as possible, then head to the Ancient God City to search for the treasure. Otherwise, this trip to Earth would be for nothing."

She issued commands to the various fleet commanders in the Dimensional Universe, including Ya Xuan.

"Master, this is Diana's order, demanding me to immediately enslave the prisoners," Ya Xuan told Lin Zhen.

"Bring me all the people you've captured."

"Yes!"

An hour later, a blood-curdling occurrence had Diana seething. The prisoners in the Hua Xia captive camp engaged in a mass jailbreak because the guard on duty was drunk.

Although Ya Xuan promptly reported that the intoxicated guard had been executed, Diana suspected that Ya Xuan was compromised.

But without any evidence, there was nothing Diana could do.

Afterward, these prisoners instantaneously morphed into Imperial Citizens or the poor.

All who were captured by the army were significant figures in Hua Xia. They were either key personnel or advanced martial artists.

Lin Zhen's Black Pearl was even stationed at Capital Base City, starting to distribute identities to people.

He currently had 200 citizen identities and 20,000 identities for the poor. All Hua Xia martial artists that had attained the War God Level were immediately given the poor identity.

Those above the Star Realm, or people Lin Zhen knew, were considered for citizen identity.

The distribution of the poor identities was handled by his parents and girlfriends, while Lin Zhen oversaw the distribution of citizen identities. After all, citizen identities were extremely valuable, and could not be given to just anyone.

For ordinary people, identities would not be distributed for now. Commoners held no value to the army. They didn't even qualify to be slaves. No one would want to enslave these frail, short-lived people. It wasn't worth it.

"Lin Zhen, the European Union has made a request. They want thirty citizen identities and five thousand poor identities, and they are willing to support you as the Lord of Earth."

On the Black Pearl, Su Mingyue nestled against Lin Zhen, looking at the received message on her phone.

Caressing Ming Yue's hair with a touch of greed in his heart, Lin Zhen took the phone to read the text.

"Where would I get so many identities to give them? I need to prioritize the supply for Hua Xia. Tell them, ten citizen identities, one thousand poor identities. Currently, every country outside of Hua Xia gets this allotment. I will consider giving more when I get more chips. As for me being the Lord of Earth … that's not for them to decide."

"The United States no longer has any high-ranking officials. The people who came were temporarily elected and no longer bear any hostility towards you. However, the administrative layers of Sand Russia and India seem to hold some views about you. They have sent people to collect the identities, but their attitudes seem somewhat haughty."

"Hmph! A bunch of reckless fools, can't they see the situation right now, still holding high heads. Fine then, no more citizen quotas for these two countries, only five hundred for the poor. Take it or leave it."

"Sounds good to me." Su Mingyue snuggled into Lin Zhen's arms and happily replied to the message.

"Ming Yue, you've thickened your skin, always clinging to Lin Zhen."

An Ning, who was deeply in love with Lin Zhen, teased Su Mingyue as she walked over from the control desk. Despite her love, she still had a strong interest in business matters. Having become a Knight and gaining access to the outside world through the A.I., her innate interest in money-making and her merchant family background compelled her to keep an eye on the financial aspect of things.

To put it precisely, An Ning was a bit of a strong-willed woman, while Su Mingyue was more of a traditional damsel.

"We share a connection through our light elements, it's a natural attraction, so being together feels comfortable." Blushing, Su Mingyue replied to An Ning.

"Okay, okay, how about making some room for me?" Laughing, An Ning squeezed in, curling up on Lin Zhen's other side.

With arms around both women and a sweet fragrance lingering in the air, Lin Zhen began considering if he should get married.

However, he thought it better to wait for everything to settle down first.

Just a few moments after both of his girlfriends snuggled in his arms, they fell asleep, showing their exhaustion. Seeing him put them at ease and they indeed needed some good rest.

"Master, someone from the Dimensional Universe is calling for you. Your friend Chen Fenglie has invited you to meet up at the Fire Dragon Mountain Bar on Jade Star. Would you like to go?" the A.I., Chris, called Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen's original body was here. For intimate moments with his girlfriends, even his cloned body wouldn't suffice.

His copy of the A.I., Chris, was cloned from his other body, both A.I.s had the same permissions, they just couldn't log into the Dimensional Universe simultaneously.

As soon as Chen Fenglie and others were rescued, Lin Zhen immediately granted them citizen identities.

Not just him and An Bihuai, but a man named Qing Xu as well, who was the fifth ranked on the Heavenly Star List, was also captured in the battle with Ya Xuan and his group.

After receiving their identities, the three of them went to explore the Dimensional Universe. Surprisingly, they found a bar within two days.

"Alright, let's see."

Lin Zhen didn't have to get up. His original body slipped into a light sleep, holding his two girlfriends, enjoying the rare moment of leisure. Meanwhile, his clone entered the Dimensional Universe.

Lin Zhen soon appeared in front of the Fire Dragon Mountain Bar.

The Dimensional Universe was a world in its own, and this bar was definitely top-notch. With superior service and environment, it was a place of high expenditure.

Lin Zhen was a bit concerned if Chen Fenglie and others could afford his company at this high-end bar.

Consumption here needed Tianhe Coins. Even though these guys had some wealth on Earth, the exchange rate of one thousand to one with Tianhe Coins made everything seem less.

Lin Zhen walked straight to Chen Fenglie's table.

"Lin my friend, come, sit with us. Today we took a tour of Jade Star. We were in for quite the eye-opener. When we felt like drinking, we thought of you. We found this place, what do you think?"

It was Chen Fenglie speaking. He and Lin Zhen had a better understanding of each other. Although An Bihuai was closer to Lin Zhen, Chen Fenglie could converse better with Lin.

Given their age difference, Chen Fenglie and Lin Zhen were of similar age, both under a hundred. Qing Xu and An Bihuai, on the other hand, were several hundred years old.

"Anywhere is good for a drink, but isn't it a bit expensive here?" cautioned Lin Zhen.

"Ah! It's not that expensive. If we can't even treat you to a drink, we would lose face." Chen Fenglie replied.

Qing Xu, a man in a Taoist robe and looking about fifty despite being over five hundred years old chimed in, "Just a coin should be enough."

"What coin?" Lin Zhen curiously asked.

At this, An Bihuai, trying to suppress his laughter, said, "Today, a few of us went to deposit money in the bank. But Qing Xu's assets didn't even make the cut. He ended up exchanging only a dozen or so Crystal Coins, complaining about how his savings from his five hundred-year lifespan only equated to a few coins."

Lin Zhen could only laugh. The Tianhe Empire had three kinds of currency—Silver Coins being one, Gold Coins being a hundred, and Crystal Coins equating to ten thousand.

Ten or so Crystal Coins, that's hundreds of thousands! Translated to Earth's currency, that was over a hundred million! Qing Xu's wealth on Earth counted him among the rich, but here, he was worth only a few coins. There must be some disappointment in his heart.

The bill seemed to be on Qing Xu. He didn't know Lin Zhen, but was granted a citizen's identity by him. At first, he didn't give it much thought, but after coming to the Dimensional Universe, the more he understood, the more he realized how valuable citizenship was.

When lower civilizations get conquered, the whole planet might end up enslaved with the fortunate ones being reduced to poverty. Citizens, on the contrary, are far and few between.

Realizing he owed Lin Zhen a great favour, Qing Xu invited him for a meal and had Chen Fenglie invite him over.

Once everyone arrived, Qing Xu immediately ordered the meal. Fire Dragon Mountain, named after a civilized planet, served both food and drink. Qing Xu ordered a table full of dishes, thinking how expensive can a meal be? His one coin, translated to Earth's currency, was a whopping 10 million, surely enough to treat Lin Zhen once.

The biggest advantage of food in the Dimensional World compared to the real world is that it can be made perfectly.

A fish in the real world might be too salty, spicy, or overcooked, but in the Dimensional World, such a situation would not exist, so the taste is incredibly delicious.

The few people who tried the food from the Fire Dragon Mountain Planet almost swallowed their tongues because it was so delicious.

Having had enough food and drink, Chen Fenglie put down his chopsticks: "Ah! We really lived in ignorance back on Earth, where we always thought we were among the strongest. Our pursuit came from our inner obsessions, forcing ourselves to practice, but actually having no idea where the path led."

"But when we came here, we realized how ignorant we truly were."

An Bihuai and Qing Xu remained silent, as Lin Zhen knew that these two were still struggling to adapt their thinking. Falling from the top echelon to becoming ordinary people was not easy to accept psychologically.

"Let's settle the bill."

Having finished eating, Qing Xu called for the bill.

The total came to 150,000.

"Only 150,000, huh." Qing Xu smiled as he was about to pay, but his hand froze halfway.

150,000 Tianhe Coins, which is equivalent to over 100 million in Earth currency, was almost all the cash he had on hand.

"You guys must be a rip-off charging more than a hundred million for a meal."

"I'm sorry, sir, but our restaurant has clear prices, and the bill is only 150,000, not over a hundred million."

The waiter was very polite with a smile, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Saying something like "a hundred million" proved that this person must have come from a lower civilization, or even be consuming for the first time in the Dimensional Universe.

Qing Xu still wanted to argue about the price, but Chen Fenglie couldn't bear to watch him.

Among the three of them, Chen Fenglie was the wealthiest. Gale Martial Arts Hall had been operating on Earth for decades, so he had amassed enough cash to meet the standards of the Universe First Bank and even had a bank card.

In fact, Qing Xu wasn't that poor either; it's just that he didn't have much cash on hand. If he were to sell off some of the sacred devices he possessed, he could easily acquire a few million Tianhe Coins.

"Forget it, brother, let me do it," Chen Fenglie offered to pay the bill.

"I'll cover this meal for this brother," a deep voice sounded behind Chen Fenglie as he was about to take out his wallet.

They looked back, and Lin Zhen couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Two Hertz-level people stood behind them, one with five gold stars on his chest, and the other with two silver stars.

Asura Warriors!

In the arena, Star Realm's arena is not considered mainstream, and the more interesting arena is the Constant Realm.

The Asura Arena is where fighters in the Satellite Stage, Planet Stage, and Constant Star Stage battle together. The top fighters in this arena are known as Asura Warriors.

Anyone who wins over 80% of their fights in the Constant Realm, and wins one thousand matches, earns one silver star.

Two thousand victories result in two silver stars, four thousand in three stars, and so on, doubling each time.

When a fighter reaches a 90% or higher winning rate, they earn gold stars.

A winning rate of 95% or higher results in red stars on the chest.

With a 99% winning rate, the chest symbol turns into a crown, which signifies an Asura King.

Asura Warriors hold a special status in the empire; they are not nobles, but their identity is even more prestigious.

Each Asura Warrior is an elite within their realm, a super fighter. They are not nobles, but nobody wants to offend them.

Because Asuras also have another identity as mercenaries!

After becoming an Asura, one can apply to join the Universe Mercenary Association. The Asura level is the lowest threshold, and these mercenaries have unimaginable strength.

There have been several incidents where mercenaries clashed with countries in the Sanjiang Star Federation alone.

Several times, primary civilization Universe Countries had conflicts with mercenaries, leading to mercenaries attacking and breaking through the Universe Country's capital, killing the emperor, and destroying many civilizations in an instant.

So no one in the primary civilization Universe Country wants to offend mercenaries, and no one even dares to do so. This is the truth of the universe, wherein only the strong have the right to speak.

The two people present were a silver Star Level 2 Asura Warrior, who should have had over 2,000 victories in the Asura Arena, with a winning rate between 80% and 90%.

The Gold Star Level 5 Asura Warrior was even more extraordinary, with victories between 16,000 and 32,000, and a winning rate between 90% and 95%.

Being able to achieve such a high winning rate and so many victories in the Asura Arena, this person's strength was undoubtedly formidable.

This Gold Star Asura spoke to Chen Fenglie, who hesitated and said, "Senior… "

"My name is Han Sha, and this is my business card."

The Gold Star Asura handed a business card to Chen Fenglie, which had his Dimensional Universe code on it.

"The thing is, I sensed the aura of a domain in you, so you must have comprehended the power of domains."

Chen Fenglie nodded, he had indeed comprehended the Sword Domain, which was also the reason why he was able to advance to the Heavenly Star List at the age of dozens, alongside An Bihuai and Qing Xu.

If it weren't for Lin Zhen's promotion to the Heavenly Star List, Chen Fenglie would be the youngest and most potential person on the list.

"Being able to master the power of the domain proves that you are a true genius. Although you are only at Satellite Level 1 now, it doesn't matter. I hope you can participate in the Asura Arena battles. If you have anything in the future, you can find me."

Chen Fenglie didn't know how to respond and looked towards Lin Zhen.

"Brother Chen, just accept it. It's a great opportunity." Lin Zhen was also happy for Chen Fenglie. If Chen Fenglie becomes an Asura and a mercenary in the future, it would be like a meteoric rise, much better than being a noble in the Tianhe Empire.

This status would be useful in the entire Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, unlike Lin Zhen's noble status, which could only be used in the Tianhe Empire.

"Well, I'll thank Brother Han Sha first."

"Hehe, no problem… Huh?"

Han Sha's gaze fell on Lin Zhen: "This young noble has some strange strength, I can't see through it, interesting!"

Having said that, Han Sha, accompanied by the Silver Star Asura, strode upstairs and casually threw a ten thousand piece of Sanjiang currency to the bartender: "Bring up whatever good stuff you have, no need for change."

The bartender's face bloomed with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Han Sha, we will make sure you are satisfied."

Qing Xu asked Lin Zhen, "Brother Lin, what kind of money is that?"

"That's Sanjiang currency, one to one thousand exchange rate with Tianhe Coins."

"My God, that's not ten million Tianhe Coins! If it were exchanged for Earth's currency, it would be… it would be…"

"One hundred billion!" An Bihuai said.

After saying that, the expressions of the group became somewhat heavy. The terms Universe Mercenary Association and Asura Warriors echoed in their hearts, giving them a goal for the future.

They were all Earth's top figures, naturally filled with pride. They would not be willing to fall behind others. Now that all of them had reached the Satellite level, they were all eligible to participate in the battles of the Asura Arena, and all wanted to try their luck.

Lin Zhen left the Dimensional Universe, while An Ning and Su Mingyue had already left. They weren't always stuck with Lin Zhen, as martial artists; they also needed a lot of time to practice.

"Becoming an Asura Warrior is also my goal."

Lin Zhen came to the top floor of the Black Pearl. It wasn't difficult for him to participate in the Asura Arena; as long as his main body resonated with seven element atoms, he could break through to the Star Realm, and by then, his clone would also advance to the Satellite level.

Now he had resonated with light, water, and fire elements. This time, he planned to resonate with two atoms at once: Wind and Thunder!

"Black Pearl, take off!"

Lin Zhen issued the command, and the Black Pearl left the capital Base City, heading towards the sky.

When it reached the level of cumulonimbus clouds, Lin Zhen stopped.

Here, the gale was fierce, and the wind element was thick. The air was filled with moisture, and a storm was about to come.

Lin Zhen took out a spear from the Space Ring and pointed it at the sky.

This spear had poor quality, but it was indeed a good conductor, serving as a lightning rod that could attract lightning.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck Lin Zhen's body, silver snakes danced around him, making him feel paralyzed.

As the gale swept over, the Dark Star in Lin Zhen's body began to spin, and the power of wind and thunder surged out.

The Lightning Wings also opened, attracting bolts of lightning one after another, tempering Lin Zhen's body while also nourishing themselves.

"This is the feeling. If I continue like this, perhaps within a day, I can resonate with both wind and thunder at the same time. As soon as I finish this, I will immediately resonate with the Earth element!"

"I have a feeling that as long as I resonate with seven elemental atoms, there must be great benefits waiting for me."

In the control room of the Ancient God City, the elevator door opened, and Xin Ou and Tu Ya stood there respectfully.

Diana walked out of the elevator and looked at the two, "How's the search going?"

"Count, it's basically clear now. The Red Rose had returned from the Laya Star with the claim of transporting animals to the royal zoo, but in fact, the ship contained a super treasure."

"What is it?"

"The owner of the original Laya Star is dead, and all his wealth and inheritance are inside a World Stone, that World Stone is in the Red Rose."

"World Stone?"

"Yes, unlike the Space Ring, the World Stone is a small world of its own, even capable of sustaining life and habitation. We can confirm that the World Stone is somewhere on the fourth floor of the Red Rose."

"Was the owner of Laya Star rich?"

"Count, the owner of Laya Star was a powerful being in the Star Domain. He had the title of Nine Star Asura King in the Asura Arena. What do you think, if we find his inheritance, we'll have made a fortune."

"Find it, by any means necessary, no one who dares to stop me will survive!"

Diana flung off her purple-lined robe, revealing her curvy figure. On her chest, there were clearly three Gold Stars!

Translator: 549690339

Seeing the three gold stars on Diana, Xin Ou and Tu Ya exchanged a glance, both feeling shocked.

They didn't expect that this Imperial Countess was also an Asura Warrior, and even reached the level of Golden Three-stars, which was quite strong.

"Now the only person on Earth who can be called a hindrance is Lin Zhen."

Diana looked at Xin Ou and Tu Ya: "I have a feeling that Lin Zhen and his pirates will come to cause trouble when I am looking for the treasure of the Laya Star master, so Lin Zhen must be eliminated."

Xin Ou said, "Then Countess Diana can drive Sky City to go and wipe out Lin Zhen and his people."

"No, it's not easy to deal with Lin Zhen's Black Pearl. If he wants to run away sincerely, no one can stop him. So we can only assassinate him."

"Then you can send military experts to do it."

Diana shook her head: "That won't work either. The military leaves too many after-effects and it will cause trouble if discovered. This matter can only be done by hiring a mercenary."

"Hiring a mercenary? When will that happen on Earth?"

"Earth is more than 30,000 light-years away from the Jade Star. An ordinary person would be too late to get there, but I know that there is a wormhole 2.8 light-years away from here, which connects to the Demon Moon Star in Taurus, and the Demon Moon Star is also connected to the Jade Star by a wormhole. Otherwise, how could our fleet arrive within three years."

"But even so, there is still a distance of nearly three light-years?"

"The person I'm looking for can travel through parallel universes. With the travel time combined, ten days will be enough!"

"If space mercenaries come through the parallel universe, they must have the speed of light ships, which consumes a lot of energy, and the cost of hiring must be not small." Xin Ou and Tu Ya asked.

"Of course it's expensive. It costs roughly between one million and ten million for a Satellite Stage mercenary, one million to one hundred million for a Planet Stage mercenary, and one hundred million to one billion for a Constant Star Stage mercenary."

"It's not that expensive!" Xin Ou and his companions said.

"I'm talking about Sanjiang coins!"

The two were suddenly speechless, as the ratio between Sanjiang coins and Tianhe coins was one to one thousand, which was quite expensive.

"So I'm also worried about what kind of person to hire. I can't afford too expensive ones. If the value of the Laya Star master's treasure is not high, I'm finished."

Diana herself is an Asura Warrior mercenary. She can log in to a special website specifically for receiving mercenary missions. After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up: "It's him!"

"Planet Level 7, Gold Level Four-star Asura Warrior, appearance fee 30 million, can pay half of the deposit first, and pay the other half after the task is completed."

"A Planet Level 7 who reaches Gold Level Four-star, this guy is even stronger than me. First payment is 15 billion, this price is still acceptable to me."

Diana immediately logged into the Dimensional Universe and established contact with the other party.

Pacific Ocean, the ruins of the Guam military base.

In the Gregorian calendar era, it was once the base of the most powerful country, the United States, but soon after the God Transformation Day, it quickly fell.

Surrounded by endless seas, there is no natural barrier to defend and no way to retreat, making it an unsuitable place for human survival.

Lin Zhen's clone was there, standing on the edge of the coast, with dark clouds covering the sky, and a storm was about to come.

Against the violently crashing waves, with the top of the waves rising more than ten meters high, it would scare anyone of little courage.

With the Cliff Corner Spear in hand, Lin Zhen plunged into the waves, the fierce spear aura piercing the water and the released energy forming a cylinder several meters wide!

Boom rumble~!!!

As his body flew along the surface of the sea, he suddenly stood on the sea's surface, swinging his Cliff Corner Spear to create a wall of spears.

Immovable like a mountain!

One wave after another was blocked by Lin Zhen's immovable-like-a-mountain defense, forming a width of a hundred meters. The water formed a huge wall, increasingly accumulating higher until it reached a hundred meters high!

Feeling the increasingly heavy pressure on his hands, Lin Zhen released the energy from his Dantian, and shouted: "Open!"

The seawater was blasted away by the powerful energy, forming a channel several kilometers long. The waves flowed around him, leaving not a drop of water on Lin Zhen's body.

"Clap clap clap!"

The sound of applauding came from behind; Qing Xu, An Bihuai, and Chen Fenglie walked up together.

"Brother Lin, congratulations! Congratulations on finally mastering Sea Treading and improving your strength once again."

The speaker is Chen Fenglie, who has the best relationship with Lin Zhen.

"Don't make fun of me, Brother Chen. My strength is nothing compared to your Sword Domain."

An Bihuai also came over: "Yeah, Chen Fenglie is indeed a freak. He managed to master the domain during the Comet Stage. Now that he's in the Satellite Stage, neither I nor Qing Xu are his opponents. Lin Zhen, don't feel bad about losing to him."

The four of them had been practicing here for two days. Besides practicing the Sea Treading Skill, Lin Zhen and his friends often sparred with each other.

Chen Fenglie and the others were in the Satellite Stage, while Lin Zhen's clone was at Comet Level 9.

Without resorting to desperate moves, Lin Zhen could fight against An Bihuai and Qing Xu but not Chen Fenglie's Sword Domain.

Under the suppression of the opponent's domain, Chen's sword Qi's destructive power doubled, and it also suppressed the star power of the opponent, preventing them from fully exerting their strength.

Even though Lin Zhen had now learned the Sea Treading Skill, he was still not confident that he could beat Chen Fenglie in a normal fight.

"In my opinion, the Heavenly Star List must be reshuffled. Yan Qiyue is still first, while Chen Fenglie will likely be in second place. Lin Zhen, I think you can rank third," Qing Xu commented.

Although Lin Zhen was confident that he could win against Chen Fenglie in a life-and-death struggle, not every fight could be that intense. He needed to have absolute strength.

Chen Fenglie humbly said at that time: "The power of the domain is not necessarily invincible. Just like in the fight against Yan Huang, his attack from outside the sky shattered my domain. At that time, I thought that instead of trying to comprehend the domain, I should first learn how to break others' domains."

Qing Xu sneered, "It's easy for you to say. How can our attacks compete with the main cannon of a spaceship? What kind of attack can break the domain? Star Explosion? You would need to see the process of a star exploding to comprehend it."

"Alright, let's not discuss this for now. Lin Zhen successfully mastered Sea Treading today. Let's rest a bit and have a drink to celebrate tonight. I'll go underwater to catch a couple of Mutated Golden Spearfishes. We'll have grilled fish tonight."

An Bihuai went off to prepare, and Chen Fenglie and the others also headed into the water to catch fish.

Lin Zhen didn't move. He just stood there with the words of Chen Fenglie and Qing Xu echoing in his mind.

"To comprehend the domain, you should first learn how to break others' domains…!"

"What kind of attack can break the domain? Star Explosion? You would need to see the process of a star exploding to comprehend it…."

"I should take this path. The understanding of domains is not that simple, but destruction is always easier than construction. I can start by trying to break others' domains and create a new powerful attack."

"Other people can never see the process of a star exploding, but I have. I've seen the complete scene of a planet from birth to explosion. I just never thought of applying it to my moves."

Lin Zhen stood in the seawater with his eyes closed, as if watching a movie of everything he had seen from the Time Stone playing in his mind.

The birth, growth, evolution, aging, and destruction of the stars kept flashing before his eyes.

Lin Zhen's hands moved along with the scenes, and streaks of star power leaked out, drawing mysterious trajectories in the air.

"Stars have life spans, and I possess all the necessary elemental energy required for a star. I just need to grasp the critical points of each era and accelerate the time to complete the process quickly. In theory, I can simulate the process of a star exploding…"

"Although it's a simulated star explosion and not as powerful as a real one, if successful, its core power should be comparable to that of a small nuclear bomb. But this process is really complicated."

"From Star Core Period to Dark Ancient Era is one phase, then to Mesozoic Era… and then Paleozoic Era, Neozoic Era… and finally becoming a White Dwarf Star, before it explodes, there are about ten phases in total…"

"For each phase, at the beginning, it takes at least ten seconds to complete. In the past few days, my time acceleration has improved. I can reach a five-fold acceleration within a small space, but it's still far from enough. It takes me at least twenty seconds to simulate a star now, which is useless in battle."

"But I have to take one step at a time. I need time… and a better cultivation environment."

At this moment, Chris appeared: "Master, if you need a better cultivation environment, you can go to the training field in the Dimensional Universe. As long as you're willing to spend money, they can simulate any environment for you."

"Alright, let's go to the Dimensional Universe immediately. As long as my strength can improve, it's worth spending any amount of money."

With a thought, Lin Zhen entered the Dimensional Universe space.

As Lin Zhen entered, a figure flashed above the clouds. The archangel Jason was guarding there, protecting Lin Zhen from any danger.

A little later, the waves on the sea surface churned, and Chen Fenglie and the others emerged.

"Lin Zhen, come have some grilled fish."

Chen Fenglie called out to Lin Zhen. Seeing that he wasn't moving, Chen sighed, "He went into the Dimensional Universe. He's probably practicing again. This guy is really pushing himself too hard."

An Bihuai thought for a moment, "Brother Chen, I think it might not be long before we're all left behind by Lin Zhen."

Chen Fenglie shook his head, "It's not that it won't be long, but rather, we've already been left behind. Although I have a domain, I can't see through Lin Zhen's true combat power…"

Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Surge in strength, Galaxy Domain!

Translator: 549690339

"Master, this is the paid training grounds of the Dimensional Universe. The fees here are determined by a person's strength. You are currently entering as your avatar, and the Comet Stage costs ten million Tianhe coins per hour."

"What if it's my real body?"

"People below the Star Realm can't use the paid training grounds, but with your Dark Star realm, which is equivalent to the Meteor Stage, it'll cost one million per hour."

So, it's a ten-fold difference in price for each realm. Lin Zhen hesitated for a bit, as his real body was currently comprehending elemental energy. In these two days, he had already resonated with Wind and Thunder Elementals and was now resonating with Earth Elementals. He really didn't want to interrupt this process.

"Can any situation be simulated?"

"Basically, as long as you've seen it with your own eyes, it can be simulated. Imaginary scenarios won't work."

"Okay, let's try it for an hour first."

Ten million was automatically deducted from his bank card, and Lin Zhen entered the virtual space. What he had in his mind was the evolution and destruction of planets.

Soon, an endless void appeared, and there was a huge planet in front of him that was rapidly changing.

"It really works! This is much more intuitive than recalling things in my mind."

Lin Zhen quickly became immersed in the training grounds, where he could fully concentrate. His process of simulating planetary evolution became much easier.

Even his time acceleration ability improved significantly under such focused conditions.

"I want to shorten the evolution process of each epoch as much as possible. To utilize the Starburst characteristic, I should try to complete the process in as short a time as possible. My first goal is to do it within ten seconds!"

Sitting in the void, streams of starlight elements circled around him, quickly condensing into a star core and changing space and time…

Eighteen seconds later, the small planet that Lin Zhen had created exploded in front of him!

A massive shockwave swept past him. Lin Zhen's eyes remained closed, but he moved his fingers slightly.

"It's really possible! With my power over time, space, and all the elemental forces, and having seen the entire planetary transformation process, I can actually simulate a planetary explosion!"

"Although it took a bit longer than expected, its power is truly comparable to the explosion of a small nuclear bomb."

"If I suddenly release a Starburst during battle, it might really be able to break through a domain."

"Of course, as I become more proficient, its power will increase as well, and when it can truly match the power of a nuclear or even hydrogen bomb, perhaps very few domains will be able to threaten me!"

"However, the Starburst doesn't come without flaws – it requires a large space for release, and its attack is rather one-dimensional. If I can possess a domain, I'll be able to release continuous Starbursts within it, making it a truly strong offensive technique."

"But such things can't be rushed. I must take it one step at a time, and shortening the time will be the ultimate goal."

Theoretically validated, Lin Zhen's motivation skyrocketed, and the hour passed by in no time. This time, he immediately bought five hours, and fifty million were spent just like that.

"Miss Diana, please rest assured, you know our rules as a mercenary. As long as the target's strength hasn't reached the Black Hole Stage, I can take on any job."

"I have no doubt that you can kill Lin Zhen, but as far as I know, he has a slave with him who is Constant Star Level 1 and has a domain. Be careful when you make a move."

"Don't worry, my goal is to kill Lin Zhen, not his slave. When the time comes, I'll have a way to lure his slave away and make a move on Lin Zhen alone. Since they didn't pay me, I won't kill an extra person."

"Alright, I'll transfer the fifteen million Sanjiang coins to you right away. How long will it take for you to reach Earth?"

"As soon as your money arrives, I'll set off immediately. Based on the coordinates and route you provided, I should be able to arrive within seven days. Just wait for my good news."

"OK, then I'll wait for the news of Lin Zhen's death."

Diana logged out of the Dimensional Universe, her mouth showing a smile.

"Lin Zhen, oh Lin Zhen, my original purpose in coming to Earth wasn't to deal with the people of Earth, but to seek Red Rose's treasure. But you just had to oppose me, so I'm sorry."

"I hope you can be assassinated smoothly, so we won't have to tear each other's faces apart. If even assassination fails, then there's no need for life to exist on this planet. At that time, you won't be able to bear my wrath, nor the wrath of Sky City… "

"Miss An Ning, there are troublemakers outside again," Stephen reported to An Ning.

"Is it Sand Russia and India again?"

"Yes, they said they got too few quota spots, not enough to go around. They want to see Lin Zhen and discuss quota distribution, and if we don't satisfy their demands, they'll join Tianhe Empire's army."

"Let them go. If they want to become dogs instead of humans, we should at least give them the opportunity. They don't need to see Lin Zhen. He's in a critical moment of his cultivation and can't be disturbed."

"What if they try to force their way in?"

"Stephen, what did you guys do before? Haven't you all forgotten? Are you really afraid of those people?"

"Hehe! I understand. I was mainly worried about them being our master's hometown folks, so I didn't think it'd be appropriate to take action. But since we have Miss An Ning's permission, we'll make them understand that a noble's authority is not to be offended."

Stephen left, while An Ning was somewhat worried about Lin Zhen, who had been cultivating for almost a week, and she wondered about his progress.

Lin Zhen's advancement to the Star Realm was a bit slow. In the past few years, many of the once talented War Gods have advanced, but Lin Zhen said his true level hasn't reached the Star Realm yet.

She hoped that this time, Lin Zhen would succeed.

This is an iron ore mine near Capital Base City.

Old metal tools are lying everywhere, covered with moss due to a thousand years, but the strong metallic smell cannot be masked.

Lin Zhen sits on the top of the mountain, with golden air surging within him.

After many days of cultivation, he only has one more gold atom to resonate. Once that is done, he would have resonated with all the elemental atoms and could advance to the Star Realm.

His hands slightly join together, and the sharp auras from all directions gather at his palm and then disappear into his Dantian.

The gold elemental atoms inside his Dark Star even attract other elemental atoms, almost reaching the edge of resonance.

Hu!!!

A breath sprays out of Lin Zhen's mouth, condensing into a sword, piercing through an iron plate three meters in front of him!

"I made it!"

The elemental atoms in his body undergo violent fluctuations, all the atoms jump crazily, the Dark Star accelerates its rotation, and the world within him shakes!

The surging elemental power rages, seemingly getting out of control.

"Damn it, this elemental power is too strong, and it has even formed an elemental storm. At this rate, the Dark Star World may not be able to withstand it."

Lin Zhen moves his mind, and the Seven Stars Knife flies out.

As the Seven Stars Knife appears, all the excess and aggressive elemental power seems to find an outlet, crazily pouring into the Seven Stars Knife.

The seven knives shine in the Dark Star Space, undergoing qualitative changes.

From a Lower Grade Holy Artifact, it soars to Middle Grade Holy Artifact…. High Grade Holy Artifact…. Top Quality Holy Artifact!

The seven-colored light flickers, and the Seven Stars Knife gets promoted to an Artifact!

However, even so, it is still not enough to calm this immense power. Lin Zhen's mind moves again, and the two spears, Yin Yang and Cliff Corner, of his original body and his clone appear in the Dark Star World.

The two purple-imbued spears rotate in the air, absorbing the elemental storm right away, making the spears glow.

The fusion of elemental power and purple air gives the spears an ancient aura.

The quality of the two spears is once again improved, directly promoted to High Grade artifacts!

Rumble~~~!!!

A blast of air spews out of Lin Zhen's mouth, filled with flashing lights and electricity, ice and fire coexist, and all elemental powers spread out of his body, leveling the iron ore mountain under him to the ground!

Thirty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters… three hundred meters!

With a diameter of 300 meters, a giant circle forms, with Lin Zhen at its core, and the surrounding area becomes completely flat.

Within this range, the elemental storms howl, keeping living creatures away!

Dark Star World, mountains and rivers move, oceans form, and the storm-ravaged planets are reborn. Although after the storm's baptism, a new world has already taken shape.

Primordial Era!

The third stage of the Dark Star, equivalent to the Comet Stage's Primordial Era is formed!

Powerful forces converge from within the Dark Star World, and as long as Lin Zhen wants, this force can enter his Dantian, and his Dantian cyclone will instantly soar, enabling him to directly upgrade to the Star Realm!

He knows that this force can not only support him in entering the Star Realm but also help him make a big step forward on the path of the Star Realm.

The Dantian and the Dark Star complement each other.

But at this moment, Lin Zhen's attention is not on the changes in the Dark Star World or on immediately entering the Star Realm.

Because he feels that within a diameter of 300 meters, it is his world!

"This is the Realm!"

"The elemental storm expands, and it formed a Realm just as I was about to advance to the Star Realm!"

"Great! I was worried about my Starburst, but now that my Realm is formed, I have space to unleash it."

With a thought from Lin Zhen, his newly-formed Realm undergoes a change.

Within 300 meters, the space turns into a deep night sky!

"This is my Realm, my Galaxy Domain! Within this range, my speed and power will increase, while the power of my enemies will be suppressed."

"But these are not the key points. Once my Starburst is completed, within this Realm's range, I can unleash consecutive Starbursts."

"As long as I have enough time, as my Realm gradually expands, I could theoretically even unleash an attack similar to the galaxy's Big Bang within the Realm!"

With his hands joined together in front of his Dantian, Lin Zhen seems to be the core of this Realm, and small planets are gradually released by him one by one.

Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Domain Activation, Fight!

Translator: 549690339

In the cosmic space, there is a mysterious place called the Parallel Universe.

The Parallel Universe is a microcosm of the universe. When an object reaches the speed of light, it can enter the Parallel Universe.

The Parallel Universe has no end and no boundaries, only the space coordinates corresponding to the real universe.

Here, there is a distance ratio of 100,000 to 1 compared to the real universe. For example, if it takes 100,000 light-years to travel from one side of the Milky Way to the other, it only takes one year to reach in the Parallel Universe.

Neither Earth nor the Tianhe Empire can make spaceships capable of withstanding the speed of light.

Such spaceships exist in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, but they are not made by the Federation itself but come from the advanced cosmic civilization, the Fire Kirin Empire.

The Fire Kirin Empire has more than 10,000 intermediate cosmic nations like the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation under its jurisdiction, with an incredibly strong technological power. Only such civilizations can make light-speed spaceships.

In the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, everyone who owns a light-speed spaceship is an extraordinary person.

Now there is a light-speed spaceship speeding towards Earth.

This spaceship is 60 meters long and 30 meters wide, shaped like a bullet head, and is made entirely of a kind of crystal.

If Lin Zhen were here, he would surely recognize the material of this spaceship.

This is a Perpetual Crystal Spaceship!

In the interstellar world, the Perpetual Crystal is equivalent to the status of diamonds on Earth. Its hardness is unimaginable, and it is also the best decorative material.

But someone actually made a spaceship out of this stuff!

The price of such a Perpetual Crystal Spaceship in the Fire Kirin Empire is 10 billion Kirin Coins!

The Fire Kirin Empire is named after the Super Star River Beast, Fire Kirin, which is the guardian divine beast of the Empire. The currency also has the image of Fire Kirin on it.

This currency has a very strong purchasing power. 10 billion Kirin Coins can be exchanged for 10 trillion Sanjiang coins!

Only this kind of spaceship, made of money, can withstand the flight in the Parallel Universe.

On this spaceship, there is a woman with green long hair like dancing snakes.

The woman looks to be in her twenties, but she is actually much older. Her current appearance is that of when she entered the Star Realm.

She wears a tight apricot-yellow dress, with three Gold Stars on her chest, proving that she is a Three-Star Asura in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation's Asura Arena.

In her hand is a long slender sword. She gently sharpens her nails with the tip of the sword, trying to shape them perfectly.

"Beep~~ Beep~~ Beep~~ Beep!!!"

The communicator rang, and the woman answered the call.

"Shasha, are you out on a mission?" A man in a black robe with seven red stars on his chest appeared.

"Yes, uncle, this time my target is in the Solar System, a small constant star system that has just joined the Tianhe Empire's territory."

"It shouldn't be too dangerous, but remember that there must be no accidents with the spaceship. Our family only has this one Perpetual Crystal Spaceship."

"I know, I'm always very careful, you know me. I never take on too difficult tasks in my missions. This time, I just need to travel to a native planet and eliminate a small person. The employer pays for the trip, and I can still earn 30 million Sanjiang coins."

"Don't forget to set up the automatic return."

"Yes, when I arrive near the coordinates of the planet, I will disembark. My radio wave will be connected to the spaceship's system. If I fail or the time runs out after eight hours, the spaceship will automatically enter the parallel universe and fly directly back to the wormhole near the Taurus Demon Moon."

"Hmm, by setting up automatic return, the risk of losing the spaceship is basically eliminated. Also, be careful, maintain safety and success rate. Our Anderson family's creed is that once a mission is accepted, it must be completed. If you fail, we will send in more manpower. However, in that case, we won't make any money in this deal, so be careful."

"Understood!"

A burst of electric waves flickered, and the image disappeared.

The speed of the spaceship gradually slowed down. After dropping below the speed of light, it automatically left the Parallel Universe and entered the real Universe to continue the flight.

"That constant star should be the Sun, and my target should be on that blue planet."

Switching from automatic flight to manual flight, the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship approached Earth and reached the outer atmosphere.

"First, put the spaceship in stealth mode. Let alone the radar on this native planet, even the radars of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation won't be able to detect the presence of the spaceship."

Dark Energy spread outside the spaceship, blending the spaceship into the cosmic space. It was not only invisible to radar, but also to the naked eye.

Shasha detached from the spaceship, instantaneously moving forward ten thousand meters and plunging into Earth's atmosphere.

"My mission target… Lin Zhen… Location, Asian Continent… Hua Xia… Capital Base City Range… Locking on…."

"Locked! 300 kilometers south of Capital Base City!"

"Life scan around the target: one Constant Star Level 1 Angel Clan."

"This should be Lin Zhen's guard. I need to draw him away first… My God! My target Lin Zhen is actually a person who hasn't even reached the Star Realm yet? Is the employer of this mission an idiot? Isn't such a quasi-Star Realm someone who can be easily eliminated with just a breath? This is simply giving me money. Even if this person has some tricks up his sleeve, the huge Realm gap cannot be made up for. It seems that I can complete this mission within half an hour this time!"

Shasha accelerated her speed, adjusting her direction in the atmosphere and diving towards Hua Xia. As she swooped in, she suddenly split into two!

Doppelgänger!

Her doppelgänger is at Constant Star Level 3.

Lin Zhen's main body was about to enter the Star Realm, and his avatar was almost going to reach the Satellite Stage, all because Xiao Nuan's body was so powerful.

As for Shasha, her main body was at Planet Level 7, and her avatar was several minor stages higher, which was considered normal.

"An avatar at Constant Star Level 3 is enough to deal with that guard. I will send my main body to directly annihilate Lin Zhen."

Normally, Shasha would carefully send her avatar into battle because the death of an avatar does not greatly impact the main body.

However, this mission was too easy, and in order to save time, she decided to send both her avatar and main body into battle simultaneously.

As they got closer to the ground, there was a gap between Shasha's main body and avatar. Shasha's avatar targeted Lin Zhen, but passed by the Archangel to attract him away.

Her main body followed closely, waiting for the moment when Jason was lured away to strike Lin Zhen with a thunderous blow!

Lin Zhen was seated on the bare ground, surrounded by a 300-meter radius that looked like a huge crop circle from the outside, with him at the center.

Upon entering this area, one would discover a dark and deep starry sky.

Stars twinkled in the sky, each one simulated by Lin Zhen.

Each star was like a nuclear bomb about to explode!

"So close now!"

"After such a long time of deduction, I've finally become more proficient in controlling Starbursts. I can now condense a Starburst within two seconds. Although it's still a bit slow for actual combat, there's room for improvement."

"Unfortunately, I need more real battle experience to improve. I should break through to the Star Realm and participate in the Asura Arena."

"It's a pity that I've simulated so many stars this time. If only there were an opponent to test my skills."

With no significant improvement in his simulation of Starbursts, Lin Zhen was about to disperse his Galaxy Domain.

At that moment, Archangel Jason, who was in the clouds, suddenly sounded a warning.

"Master, be careful! A Constant Star Level opponent is rapidly approaching. Ah, so fast! They are less than 10,000 meters away!"

"Master, hide quickly!"

Lin Zhen looked up to see a burst of white holy flames in the sky, pushing away the clouds like a bomb, revealing Archangel Jason's body.

"Who's there!"

"The one taking your life! Get lost!"

A woman's voice rang out from the sky, followed by a fierce collision between the two!

"Buzz!"

The clashing of swords produced a loud noise that made the clouds recede.

A woman swung her longsword at lightning speed, battling Jason.

Jason showed no fear, wielding his artifact-level holy sword, utilizing his domain powers to launch a fierce and sharp counterattack.

Fearless! Bold! Brave!

White halos shone around Jason, greatly enhancing his speed and strength, allowing him to hold his ground against an opponent of a higher realm.

"As expected, Jason is a combat-type angel. He was born to be a fighting machine. That woman from the enemy side is definitely not an ordinary Constant Star Level opponent, and she can't even gain an advantage."

"If this goes on, Jason might even win if given some time. Is she the only person on their side? Her target… should be me."

Watching the battle in the sky, Lin Zhen felt a strong urge to join the fight; that woman was an Asura Warrior!

However, Lin Zhen didn't act recklessly, believing the enemy wouldn't send just one person to attack him. He had to be wary of their hidden tactics.

His Dark Star World was activated, with his avatar hiding within, constantly on guard.

The battle in the sky gradually shifted away from above Lin Zhen to a position about ten kilometers to his left.

Jason had never faced such a strong opponent before, and subconsciously pursued his advantage while unknowingly being led further away.

When the two of them were about twenty kilometers away, another figure descended from the sky at an incredible speed, rushing directly towards Lin Zhen!

"Hahaha! Tremble, you lowly native of an inferior civilization! Offer your life and blood to add color to my medal!"

Lin Zhen looked up and saw the woman descending from the sky, his eyes filled with excitement.

The distance was shrinking…

One thousand meters… five hundred meters…

Three hundred meters… two hundred meters…

One hundred and fifty meters! The incoming assassin entered Lin Zhen's Galaxy Domain, and he could even feel the sharpness of her sword.

Now!!!

At this moment, the galaxy trembled!

Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Two Lin Zhen Battles Asura (3 updates)

Translator: 549690339

Shasha suddenly entered within 150 meters of Lin Zhen and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

This place was a dazzling starry sky, with countless large and small planets blinking non-stop, making it hard for one to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Domain!"

Shasha's eyes narrowed, no wonder someone would spend 30 million Sanjiang coins on this person's life, he hadn't even reached the Star Realm, yet he already mastered a domain!

Not everyone can master a domain, even if Shasha is a Gold Stars Asura, Planet Level 7, but she hasn't mastered a domain either.

And the earlier one comprehends a domain, the more time one will have to practice, which will make it more stable in the future. Thus, the timing of domain comprehension is an important criterion for measuring a person's talent.

The Archangel who was fighting her outside probably comprehended the domain during the Planet Stage, which is considered good.

She knew that the earliest one could comprehend a domain was during the Meteor Stage Peak.

However, she never knew that someone could actually comprehend a domain before entering the Star Realm, if not for witnessing it with her own eyes, she would never believe that such a thing could happen.

"Even if you have comprehended a domain, you must die today!"

Shasha knew that she must kill Lin Zhen no matter what. If she let him grow up, he would definitely come back to take revenge on her family. She couldn't bring trouble to her family.

As a Gold Stars Asura of Planet Level 7, her strength is almost the best among Planet Stages.

Even if Lin Zhen had a domain, the huge gap in strength could not be overcome. After all, in Shasha's eyes, the opponent was just a quasi-Star Realm practitioner.

She brandished her slender sword, and a huge wave of energy sword qi crossed over the sky. The space tremored, and Lin Zhen's newly formed domain showed signs of collapsing.

"Haha! You've only just comprehended it, right? With this unstable domain and your pitifully weak Dantian qi, I can break it easily!"

Lin Zhen still stood there without moving, but the Dark Star power within him burst out.

The Primordial Era Dark Star can issue the Star Power of Comet Stage. With the infusion of the powerful Star Power, this starry sky stabilized immediately!

"Comet Stage! What's going on?"

Shasha's pupils contracted, she had actually misjudged him. This wasn't a quasi-Star Realm practitioner, but a Comet Stage!

"It turns out you have some tricks. I never thought that someone like you would appear in a native planet like this. But the Comet Stage is still not enough, you're still on a dead-end path!"

She started moving, as if distance didn't exist, and her long sword slashed towards Lin Zhen.

"Retreat!"

With a thought from Lin Zhen, a spatial rift appeared right in front of her.

Space cutting!

The spatial rift appeared so abruptly that Shasha, who was moving at a high speed, couldn't avoid it in time. A strand of her green hair was neatly cut off!

This made her break out in a cold sweat.

She originally thought Lin Zhen was nothing more than an ant, but she never expected this ant to possess such heaven-defying power, its sharp teeth and claws even capable of backlash against her.

Putting away her contempt, Shasha hung in the middle of the starry sky, ready to show her true strength.

Lin Zhen didn't want to experience her true power, he had been waiting for this moment when Shasha stopped, to allow his unskilled Starburst to be unleashed.

Shasha thought those hovering planets were illusions without any practical use, but she didn't know they were like floating nuclear bombs.

Without waiting for Shasha's reaction, Lin Zhen's thoughts moved, and the nearest white dwarf star exploded!

Boom~~~!!!

The explosion of a white dwarf star is a catastrophe.

All matter contracted sharply and then erupted violently. With the center of the Planet Core as the explosion point, it spread out into the starry sky!

Caught off guard, Shasha was flung high into the air by the massive impact.

"Ugh~~~~!"

Yellow light flickered on the surface of her body, and a Divine Armor protected her from most of the impact.

However, even the Divine Armor couldn't completely block the explosive power of the planet, and a huge impact swept past, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The more powerful an expert, the less they can afford to be injured, and the more powerful the body, the harder it is to heal if it is damaged. Healing damaged and fragile bodies is much easier.

Shasha hadn't been injured like this in a long time, if not for the Divine Armor protecting her body, she would have lost her life with this hit.

"These planets… can they all explode?"

She stared at the surrounding starry sky unbelievably. There were hundreds of hovering planets, if they could all explode, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Without waiting for her reaction, Lin Zhen's thoughts moved again, and a planet turned into a meteor, violently striking towards Shasha's heart!

Shasha hurriedly tried to dodge, but the planet exploded not far away from her.

Rumble~~~!!!

It was too difficult to avoid such a thing. She knew it was coming, but the range of the explosion was too large, making it impossible to dodge.

Fortunately, she was prepared this time and the impact of the planet didn't cause as much damage.

However, her face was still pale, and her injuries worsened further.

Lin Zhen didn't give this woman any chance to catch her breath, and one after another, various planets and meteors chased after Shasha like hounding moons!

She had no good way to deal with the small planets coming straight at her. Whenever she tried to teleport, Lin Zhen would interrupt her with his Spiritual Power.

Waving her sword to shatter the planets, the shockwave from the explosions would still injure her.

Colorful, massive explosions rang out in the starry sky, and all the planets targeted Shasha.

It was like having nuclear bombs detonating around her. Even though she had reached Planet Level 7, even though she was a Venus Asura, and even though she had an Artifact to protect her body, she couldn't withstand such fierce bombardment.

After taking seven or eight consecutive hits, Shasha's face turned as pale as parchment, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. However, her inner fear far surpassed her injuries.

"This is bad. At this rate, I might even end up dead. I am at Planet Level 7; how can I be defeated by someone at the Comet Stage?"

She still wanted to complete her mission and charged toward Lin Zhen. As long as she killed him, the Star Core domain would naturally be broken.

As she lunged forward, Lin Zhen teleported away.

Appearing at the edge of the domain, Lin Zhen pointed with his hand and said, "Go!"

A dozen planets streaked across the sky, howling towards her!

The roaring sound was deafening. Shasha couldn't hold on any longer after being hit consecutively, and her Divine Armor shattered under the explosions. A mouthful of golden blood spurted out.

It was only because Lin Zhen had just comprehended Starburst and his strength wasn't all that strong yet, and his timing with the explosions wasn't well controlled. He only destroyed her Artifact; otherwise, she would have become a corpse with this one hit.

Having lost her Artifact, Shasha couldn't afford to stay any longer. She resolutely turned around and flew straight towards the edge of the domain.

She couldn't complete her mission this time, and she had to return immediately.

Lin Zhen couldn't let her escape, and a series of planets followed her, causing violent explosions behind her.

Shasha looked like a stunt performer, with a series of explosions happening right behind her as she relentlessly sped forward. However, the power of the explosions was too strong—it had already caused her to be covered in blood and her flesh a mess.

Shasha let out a sharp scream as her body was shattered by the Starburst!

Lin Zhen thought he had killed his opponent and paused for a second, but then he realized something was wrong: it was an Illusion that had died!

Jason was rushing over from a distance. When Shasha was trying to escape, her Illusion had left the battlefield, taken a hit from Jason's sword, and returned to support her main body.

At the brink of life and death, her Illusion perished, but her main body took advantage of the opportunity to escape.

Just as she was about to teleport away at the edge of the domain, a spear suddenly appeared in front of her!

"Lin Zhen!"

Shasha couldn't understand how Lin Zhen could appear here, so she could only wave her sword to defend herself.

At this moment, hope surged in her heart. If she could kill Lin Zhen in one go, she might be able to salvage some of the damage.

But Lin Zhen's spear strike was so strange that it suddenly accelerated midway, piercing her lower abdomen!

Shasha gritted her teeth. She was an Asura Warrior, who had gone through countless life-and-death battles. This injury was not enough to make her shrink back. She wanted to kill Lin Zhen before the Archangel arrived.

She grabbed Lin Zhen's spear with one hand, brandished her sword, and a powerful Star Power came rushing towards her face!

"Lin Zhen, die!"

"Pff!"

A spear pierced through her arm, which was holding the sword, causing her to let out an involuntary cry of pain.

Looking back, the person who had come from behind was Lin Zhen again.

"You… you actually have an Illusion too!"

"It's too late for you to know. Stay here."

The Lin Zhen in front was the Illusion. With both arms exerting force, the Cliff Corner Spear withdrew from her lower abdomen and stabbed at her throat again.

Behind her, Lin Zhen's Yin-Yang Spear attacked her vital points, like a rainbow.

The Comet Stage main body and the Comet Level 9 Illusion, along with their two spears, seemed like two poisonous dragons, flying up and down seamlessly.

Countless spear shadows enveloped Shasha from all parts of her body, and in the accelerated time, they appeared like ghosts.

Facing these two spears that could suddenly accelerate, the severely injured Shasha was extremely unadapted.

Relying on her strong Planet Level Star Power and excellent nerve response to evade, her body was still continuously wounded.

In Jason's view as he rushed over, the two Lin Zhens and their spears appeared like ghosts, attacking from all angles. With each strike, the spear left a mark, and the woman's body looked like a sieve, with over a dozen new wounds appearing every second!

"Pff, pff, pff, pff, pff, pff~~~~!!!!!"

Shasha's body mechanically shuddered a few times, and her blood shot towards the sky like a fountain.

"Ha!"

Lin Zhen's main body and Illusion exerted strength simultaneously. The Yin-Yang Cliff Corner Spears pierced through her two shoulders. With a push, they nailed her firmly to the ground!

At this moment, Shasha's mind was in pieces, and her life was hanging by a thread.

Her injuries were beyond saving.

Lin Zhen bent down to look directly into Shasha's eyes, and a surge of Spiritual Power rushed into her mind: "Tell me… how did you get here? Where is your spaceship?"

Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Lunar Breakthrough

Translator: 549690339

At this moment, Shasha had lost all ability to resist and instinctively fell prey to Lin Zhen's Soul Lock, muttering a few words.

After uttering these last words, her head slumped to one side. She had died.

Lin Zhen turned to gaze at the distant space, silently lamenting the loss.

With Shasha's death, the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship automatically set course for home.

Moreover, Shasha had mentioned that she failed her mission, the Anderson family will dispatch more assassins after him.

"Check what's the story behind the Anderson family," Lin Zhen immediately commanded Chris.

"Very well, master."

After about three minutes, Chris reported: "Master, the Anderson family is one of the eight major families within the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. Their family headquarters lie in Tianyao Star, the capital of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. The family head, Anderson, is a powerful figure in the Star System Stage. The family puts strong emphasis on the training of its members. Each member is an expert from the Asura Arena. They are very famous among the mercenary groups in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. They will carry out a mission until it is accomplished, no matter how many times they fail."

"It appears Shasha was telling the truth. As she failed, there'll be stronger forces after me next."

Lin Zhen pondered quietly. According to the mercenary's usual pattern, the failure of a Planet Stage would then require a Constant Star Stage to step in.

If the Constant Star Stage fails as well, their opponent might even dispatch experts from the Black Hole Period, and in the end, the family head of the Anderson family might even come after him personally."

Black Hole Period, Star System Stage, these two levels of people are currently invincible to Lin Zhen.

So he only has one chance, and that is when the next opponent arrives.

Even for the Anderson family, they could only have one Perpetual Crystal Spaceship. If he could seize their spaceship, it would be tough for the Anderson family to reach Earth for the third time.

Without the option of transiting the parallel universe, it would take them at least two and a half years to reach Earth. Lin Zhen would have ample time to prepare.

However, the people from the Anderson family are very cautious. They take great care in protecting their Perpetual Crystal Spaceship. Once the assassin fails, the spaceship will automatically return home.

When Lin Zhen asked Shasha about the location of the spaceship, she said it was stationed in space. The location was chosen randomly, but she came from the Demon Moon Star in Taurus.

Lin Zhen has memorized many wormhole locations, especially those close to Earth from his past life. He remembers them clearly.

Before the discovery of the wormhole on Mars, others who visited Earth indeed used the shortest route from the Demon Moon Star in Taurus, including the fleet of the Tianhe Empire."

"A lightspeed spaceship coming from Taurus, covering a distance of nearly three light-years and transiting the parallel universe, factoring in the process of acceleration, deceleration, and data transmission, should take approximately ten hours to arrive."

"However, it should take a little over six hours for my Black Pearl to travel from Earth to Mars, arrive at the Aurora star, transit the wormhole to reach Jade Star, and from Jade Star further transit another wormhole to the Demon Moon Star in Taurus, all within eight hours."

"If everything goes smoothly, I might be able to intercept the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship as it emerges from the parallel universe and appears outside the Demon Moon Star wormhole."

"But capturing a Perpetual Crystal Spaceship is not an easy feat. I need to prepare well. If I fail the second time, the Anderson family's third visit could be disastrous for me…"

"I can't be careless the second time. If a Constant Star Stage Asura Warrior comes, my current strength might not be enough to resist."

"The Perpetual Crystal Spaceship will take at least seven to eight days to return to the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. The round trip should take about half a month, and it's unlikely that they will dispatch someone immediately. They will also need time for investigation. So the next enemy should arrive in about twenty days. I still have twenty days to prepare…"

As for who hired the mercenaries this time, Lin Zhen was absolutely clear about that. The only possibility was Diana. No one else on Earth possesses that capability and wealth.

"Chris, help me look up how to capture a spaceship… A lightspeed spaceship," he requested.

After Chris conducted a search, it informed Lin Zhen of the results.

"Master, it is quite difficult to capture a lightspeed spaceship while it is moving, Given that even when you fire a beam attack, the speed is only on par with the target spaceship, unless its speed is less than the speed of light."

"Explain the specific methods."

"The specific method is to use another larger spaceship equipped with a large Trap Web, capture the target when it slows down, and then haul it into the large spaceship's cabin."

"Check the price of a Trap Web."

Chris quickly produced a response: "The Trap Web available in the Tianhe Empire does not meet the requirements. Based on the nature of the spaceship mentioned by the master, you will need to buy at least an alloy Trap Web from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. The lowest price is one hundred million Sanjiang coins."

Lin Zhen closed his eyes to calculate. One hundred million Sanjiang coins is equivalent to one hundred billion Tianhe coins. Such a Trap Web was way more expensive than Black Pearl. It was expected though; after all, the net that could capture a Perpetual Crystal Spaceship would not be cheap.

However, this price had exceeded Lin Zhen's affordability. Currently, he only had a little over sixty billion Tianhe coins.

"I need money, a lot of it," Lin Zhen mused silently. At this moment, Jason came to his side and whispered, "Master, Diana has taken a lot of people to the Ancient God City. It seems like they are looking for something on the fourth level."

"Understood. We will prepare. Today, I will break through to the Star Realm, and then we will head to the Ancient God City together."

He was on the verge, he had to break through. He could no longer suppress the power from upgrading to the Dark Star .

The Dantian energy of Lin Zhen, which had been compressed ten times, was already overflowing.

However, the location he chose was not Earth, but the moon.

On the side of the moon facing away from Earth, where no radar or scanner could detect, it was the safest area for Lin Zhen.

With a beat of his Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen took to the skies. His wings now at twenty times the speed of sound, accelerating nearly seven thousand meters per second. Combined with the speed of his avatar, he could travel over fifteen thousand meters in a single second!

The tens of thousands of kilometers from the moon to Earth were nothing to Lin Zhen. He could cross that distance in just two hours with a combination of flight and teleportation.

Jason trailed behind Lin Zhen, his Archangel wings flapping rapidly to keep pace.

Watching his master streak across the sky, one foot touching light and the other touching electricity, Jason was inwardly astonished.

An hour and fifty minutes later, Lin Zhen's feet touched down on the lunar surface.

Arriving on the side of the moon facing away from Earth, Lin Zhen chose a circular mountain and sat on the mountaintop, facing the vast expanse of space, ready to break through.

He took a deep breath and visualized his Dantian energy, which had already begun to condense automatically.

"It's time. I've been reborn for over seven years, and finally, I can break through."

"Only when my physical body enters the Star Realm will my strength truly skyrocket. Now that I have gathered all the elemental energy and have control over time and space, my power is truly different from my previous life."

"Upon ascending to the Star Realm, my avatar would be able to participate in the Asura Arena battles… "

Slowly closing his eyes, Lin Zhen began the most important breakthrough.

"Miss Diana, please provide all information about Lin Zhen."

On the screen of Sky City's control station, a stern middle-aged man was having a call with Diana.

"Mr. Anderson, the information is already sent to you. Everything I know about Lin Zhen is included there."

"Can you guarantee the accuracy of your information? If you provide us with erroneous intelligence, which may lead to misjudgment and fail to kill Lin Zhen, your commission would be forfeit should we incur losses."

"Of course, I can guarantee it. On the surface, Lin Zhen seems to be on the brink of entering the Star Realm, but his actual strength is at the peak of the Meteor Stage, and he has a Constant Star guard. As for more, I'm not entirely sure, this all I know."

"I see, Shasha from our Anderson family died this time out on a mission, but we will continuously send assassins until we complete our mission. The second batch will reach Earth within twenty days."

"I hope you can hurry up. I do not have much time to wait."

Diana terminated the call and quickly reconnected with Ya Xuan.

"Baron Ya Xuan, have you not found the World Stone yet?"

"Count, we haven't found it yet. We have already killed all the monsters on the fourth floor of the Ancient God City, but it's really hard to spot the World Stone. You can see the situation on the spot."

With that, the view switched to inside the Ancient God City.

The fourth floor was a vast desert, with more than a dozen pyramids standing amidst the sands.

Originally, there were many mutated warcraft here, but they were all eliminated by the Tianhe Empire's military.

"Based on our judgement, the World Stone may be inside one of these pyramids in the desert. We are going through each one systematically. You know that any one of these stones could be the World Stone; each pyramid is made up of at least tens of millions of stones. It would take at least a month to search stone by stone."

"Try to work as fast as possible. I'm afraid that Lin Zhen will apply to become the Lord of this star area. Once he becomes the Lord, we must leave."

"But Count, you could apply too. If you become the Lord, couldn't we drive Lin Zhen out?""

"I can't do that. I already have a territory, and it's difficult to apply again. Furthermore, since there is already a noble on this planet, the application is unlikely to get approved."

"Then what should we do?" Ya Xuan was somewhat panicked.

"Don't worry, just speed up the search. Although I can't become the Lord, I have sent a request to the Empire. Within twenty days, this planet should not have a Lord. As a Gold Level Four-Star Asura of the Asura Arena, the Empire will have to consider me. Unless Lin Zhen attains the same status, the Empire would stay neutral."

"What about after twenty days? I estimate that I would need a month to explore all the pyramids here."

Diana stood, "Within twenty days, Lin Zhen absolutely cannot become an Asura, thus he won't attain the status of Lord. As for after twenty days… he will live to see the day."

Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Breakthrough! Star Realm!

Translator: 549690339

As Diana had predicted, Lin Zhen's avatar was currently in the Dimensional Universe, preparing to apply for lordship.

The best way for him to drive Empire forces out of Earth was to become a lord himself.

According to the Empire's laws, nobility could obtain territories as long as they pay a hefty fee.

A knight could claim a planet as territory, while a baron could be granted a small asteroid system.

The territory of a viscount is determined by star miles; the maximum range for a viscount's territory is a side length of 100,000 star miles.

The territory of an earl is much larger, ranging from one million to ten million star miles in side length. If you pay less, you receive the minimum standard; if you are willing to pay a lot of money, then a side length of ten million star miles can be approved.

Ten million star miles is basically equivalent to one light-year.

Lin Zhen wanted to obtain the largest possible territory to drive these people out of his own territory. With Earth as the core and a side length of one light-year, the square area would be his territory, making it less simple for anyone to reach Earth.

Lin Zhen had never applied for territory before, so he followed Chris's advice and went to the Imperial Government Office, which was responsible for territory applications.

"Hello, I want to apply for a territory," said Lin Zhen, standing at the entrance and speaking to the guard.

A scanning light quickly passed over Lin Zhen, confirming his identity.

"Earl Lin Zhen, please come in."

With a single flash, Lin Zhen was in the reception room, greeted by a knight staff member.

"Excuse me, Earl Lin Zhen, are you a local of the Solar System?"

"Yes, I was born and raised on Earth in the Solar System. Now that I have become a noble, according to the Empire's customs, I can apply for my hometown to be my territory, right?"

"You are correct that there is such a custom; however, applying for a territory requires a fee to be paid."

"How much is the fee?"

"I will calculate it for you. The fee is determined by several factors such as territory area, the number of planets, the number of valuable celestial bodies like life planets, resource planets, and wormholes in explored areas. It is quite complicated, so please wait a moment."

Lin Zhen picked up the teacup on the table and slowly savored the tea. He had a feeling that applying for territory would not go smoothly.

About half an hour later, the staff member returned: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Earl. The calculation is done. How large of a territory would you like to apply for?"

"A side length of one thousand star miles."

"You will need to pay five trillion Tianhe coins."

Lin Zhen rubbed his chin: "Five trillion…"

Purchasing a Trap Web cost a trillion, and acquiring territory would cost another five trillion. There was no clear way to obtain that much money.

"Well, apply for the territory first and I'll figure out how to get the money. But the applications must be expedited."

"This is not possible. When applying, you need to pay half the fee first as proof of your financial capacity."

Lin Zhen glanced at the staff member: "Can it be approved immediately if I pay half the fee?"

The staff member hesitated and did not answer directly.

Lin Zhen smiled: "Sir Knight, would you please turn off the synchronous recording? I have a few words I'd like to say to you in private."

The staff member hesitated for a moment but turned off the synchronous recording, leaving no records for anyone else to access during their conversation.

"Give me your account number, and I'll give you a hundred million. Then, tell me the truth about my territory application and the troubles that lie within."

The staff member thought for a moment and whispered a long string of numbers.

Lin Zhen immediately transferred the money, and the funds reached the account quickly.

"It's like this, Earl Lin Zhen. Your territory is currently under dispute. Empire Earl Diana claims that her troops discovered the space where your hometown is located first and that she has the right to apply for it as well."

"Doesn't she have her own territory? She shouldn't be able to apply again, right?"

"Yes, we have replied to her with the same. However, she has applied to postpone your application date by twenty days, and the duke in charge has approved it. Therefore, you cannot obtain the territory for the time being."

Upon hearing the staff member's words, Lin Zhen immediately realized the crux of the matter.

Diana was delaying for time, waiting for the arrival of the second group of assassins. Once Lin Zhen was killed at that point, she would have a legitimate reason to stay on Earth.

If Lin Zhen were to obtain the territory, he would be able to expel her.

The staff member continued: "You might not know this, but Miss Diana is a Gold Level Four-star Asura Warrior from the Asura Arena. The Empire needs to give her some consideration, and thus this matter… unless you can also advance to the Asura Warrior rank, then your application can be approved. Otherwise, there is no way."

In his view, it would be impossible for Lin Zhen to obtain the territory in the short term. To enter the Asura Arena, one needs to have a Satellite Stage and win 1,000 matches with an over 80% win rate. It was out of the question for Lin Zhen, a Comet Level 9, to achieve this.

Furthermore, Diana was a Gold Level Four-star, proving that her Asura Arena victories numbered over 8,000 with a win rate of over 90%. Lin Zhen could not possibly reach this level in a short amount of time.

Now aware of the truth, Lin Zhen stood up and nodded to the staff member: "Thank you, I understand now."

"I didn't say anything." The staff member smiled and rose to see him off.

After leaving the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen thought quietly to himself for a while.

If he wanted to have territory now, he needed to meet two conditions.

There are two ways, one is becoming an Asura Warrior, and the other is having a large amount of money.

Lin Zhen's main body is currently breaking through on the Moon, and as long as he enters the Star Realm, his doppelganger can simultaneously enter the Satellite Stage, which would allow him to participate in the Asura Arena.

Acquiring the identity of an Asura Warrior allows for loans, as the Asura Arena belongs to the entire Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, so the loans are in Sanjiang Coins.

Silver One-Star Asuras can obtain loans of ten million Sanjiang Coins, Five Stars can obtain loans of fifty million, and the highest Nine Star Asuras can obtain loans of ninety million.

Gold One-Star Asuras can obtain loans of one hundred million Sanjiang Coins.

Red One-Star Asuras can obtain loans of one billion Sanjiang Coins.

And a Crowned Asura King can obtain loans of ten billion Sanjiang Coins!

Lin Zhen's application for the territory and the purchase of the Trap Web requires at least six trillion Tianhe Coins, which is equivalent to six hundred million Sanjiang Coins.

"To get six hundred million Sanjiang Coins, I must at least reach Gold Six Star level in the Asura Arena. Every time I increase a star level requires double the victories, with one thousand victories for One Star and thirty-two thousand victories for Six Star. It's impossible to achieve this in such a short time."

"So what I need to strive for is to become a Red One-Star Asura, with a win rate of over ninety-five percent, and obtain at least one thousand victories."

"In my previous life, I never participated in the Asura Arena, so I don't know what level I will be considered once my doppelganger enters the Satellite Stage."

"However, no matter what, I must reach Red One-Star Asura. Diana wants to prevent me from becoming the lord of this star domain, her calculations are excellent, but I cannot let her succeed."

"Now it all depends on how far my main body can go with this critical breakthrough…"

Above the Moon, dark energy from the cosmos quickly converges onto Lin Zhen's main body.

At this moment, Lin Zhen seems to be a funnel or vortex in the sea, absorbing the endless dark energy.

Inside the Dantian, the Qi vortex has become extremely powerful.

The center point begins to converge rapidly, with starlight flickering.

The Star Core is forming!

Lin Zhen's Dantian Qi has already surpassed the critical point of breakthrough, and now he is experiencing an unstoppable eruption upon breaking through.

Seven types of elemental energy shine on Lin Zhen, and his Dantian Qi evolves swiftly.

All the power forms into a vast torrent at this moment.

The barrier preventing Lin Zhen from entering the Star Realm is like a thin film, which is instantly torn by the surging torrent!

Boom~~~!!!

With a sudden moment of clarity in his mind, Lin Zhen feels his vision expand in an instant.

His Dantian Qi expands and contracts twice before shrinking. The original Dantian Qi ocean begins to constantly expand outwards, transforming into a star-filled space.

The Dantian Qi then quickly contracts and solidifies, and the Star Core appears!

Unlike the physical Dark Star, the Dantian Star Core is a pure energy entity.

The Planet Core is born and quickly grows powerful!

In his previous life, Lin Zhen experienced the birth of a Star Core, but the strength back then was far less than it is now. This time, the Star Core had just appeared, and it had reached Star Core Level 3!

Moreover, the intense dark energy from the universe rushes in, causing Lin Zhen's realm to surge continuously!

Star Core Level 4….

Star Core Level 5….

Star Core Level 6….!

The Dark Star spins madly, absorbing a massive amount of cosmic dark energy and funneling it into Lin Zhen's Dantian.

This tremendous energy, combined with Lin Zhen's previous accumulation, finally provides him with enough power.

From the promotion at Star Core Level 3, it gushes like a wellspring, continually soaring until it reaches Star Core Level 6!

Eventually, Lin Zhen's Star Core stabilizes at the Sixth-level Peak.

Inside the Dantian Qi ocean, all the Dantian Qi has disappeared.

In its place is a vast, deep cosmic space, with a small star emitting a faint starlight at its core.

Don't underestimate this little star. Lin Zhen's Dantian Qi is condensed ten times, so his Star Power is ten times stronger than those who haven't condensed it!

Even though he is at Star Core Level 6, he is the strongest Star Core Level 6!

Moreover, Lin Zhen's trump card is the Dark Star. The Dark Star's Comet Stage Star Power, combined with his main body's strength, makes Lin Zhen's current Star Power comparable to the Satellite Stage!

That is Lin Zhen's true combat power.

After the breakthrough, Lin Zhen's main body doesn't move. Instead, he continues to sit there, stabilizing his realm and cultivating his domain power.

Although his main body is still cultivating, Lin Zhen's doppelganger has once again entered the Dimensional Universe Space.

As the main body advances, Lin Zhen's doppelganger's realm soars as well, reaching Satellite Level 6.

He now qualifies to participate in the Asura Arena!

Chapter 404: Chapter 404 Asura Arena

Translator: 549690339

The Tianhe Empire's arena simply cannot compare with the Asura Arena of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

Every martial artist who reaches the Constant Realm Third Level aims to become an Asura, as it's the quickest path to make a name for themselves.

Becoming a noble is too difficult. They painstakingly practice for decades, even hundreds of years. Once they enter the Asura Arena, and if they truly manage to prove their worth and achieve success, their fortunes will dramatically change overnight.

In the Universe Country, the status of an Asura Warrior might not be that of a noble, but it certainly surpasses it.

People remember and admire the geniuses, the successful ones. As for the majority who don't make it in the Asura Arena, no one even cares.

"Lin Zhen, have you arrived?" Chen Fenglie asked in the Dimensional Universe.

"I'm here."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhen's avatar appeared before Chen Fenglie.

Qing Xu and An Bihuai were also with Chen Fenglie. The three of them had already spent two days in the Asura Arena.

"Well, old brothers, after not seeing you for two days, all of you seem different. Quite imposing."

Lin Zhen glanced at the three of them in surprise. He truly felt this way. Although their realms hadn't increased, they were like swords drawn from their sheaths, exuding an intense murderous aura, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

An Bihuai gave a wry smile: "What's so imposing about us? It's simply because after being beaten up in the Asura arena, we've grown tenser, always prepared to fight anyone."

"Really? Isn't it just a virtual battle arena?", Lin Zhen asked.

Qing Xu waved his hand: "This virtual battle arena is much more than that. The level of realism during fights is identical to real life, especially the 100% real sensation of pain. You can't tell the difference between this and reality. If you face a powerful opponent and they kill you with one blow, it's okay. But if you face someone of similar strength, it becomes miserable. Getting injured is one thing, but when you are killed, it feels like you've actually died."

Chen Fenglie suddenly laughed: "Brother Qing Xu has even said his last words several times during battles. Seems like he has many unfulfilled wishes."

A bit embarrassed, Qing Xu replied, "I wish I hadn't told you. You keep using it for your amusement."

Lin Zhen couldn't help laughing. Instead of asking what Qing Xu's wishes were, he asked the group, "How's it going? Having a good time in the Asura Arena?"

Chen Fenglie shook his head: "It's tough. There are too many expert fighters inside. Achieving a high win-rate is very difficult. I've already fought 200 matches in the past two days, and my win-rate is only 75%, which has been gradually increasing."

An Bihuai said: "You're doing pretty well. If you increase your win-rate by another five percentage points, you'll become a Silver-star Asura. The situation for Qing Xu and me is pretty grim. My win-rate is 53%, and his is 55%. Who knows when we could become Asura? The more matches you fight, the harder it is to increase your win-rate."

"Yes, it's a tough situation when you've finally improved a little but encounter a powerful opponent and lose a match. Sometimes I lose several matches in a row due to bad luck and it feels like I've wasted a lot of time."

Lin Zhen asked, "How do you choose your opponents in there?"

"There are two ways to choose: random assignment and challenge. Most people choose random. Challenges are less common."

At this point, Qing Xu seemed a bit frustrated: "Challenging someone is just annoying. Whenever my win-rate goes up, someone specifically challenges me. If I don't accept, they verbally abuse me non-stop. If I accept, I get beaten badly."

An Bihuai patted Qing Xu on the shoulder: "You're too impulsive. If you just ignore them, you would be fine. You shouldn't act rashly."

Qing Xu, who was obviously straightforward, nodded sullenly. But to Lin Zhen, he seemed like the type who would still accept the challenge.

There are likely many such people in the Asura Arena. They hurl insults to provoke those weaker than themselves. It's one way to improve their win-rate. Few warriors can hold their temper in front of a high win-rate provocation.

Chen Fenglie said to Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, you should give it a try as well. Try to ignore any provocations as much as possible. There are way too many jerks doing this kind of thing. Fighting here often is very beneficial. It really helps in improving actual combat skills."

Lin Zhen nodded in agreement, and the group once again returned to the Asura Arena.

Lin Zhen arrived at the registration area, scanned himself, and then obtained his identification.

"Solar System Earthman Lin Zhen, Asura Arena combat record. Victories: zero. Losses: zero. Draws: zero. Win rate: zero."

"You can now select the battle mode."

Chris gave Lin Zhen a long list of potential opponents.

The list was so long that it was almost impossible to estimate its length. Just looking at the names on the first page, there were tens of thousands. The extensive numbers made Lin Zhen dizzy.

"Choose random."

"Random Mode starting. You have a 90% chance of encountering a Satellite Level fighter, a 9% chance of encountering a Planet Level fighter, and a 1% chance of encountering a Constant Star Level fighter."

"Match succeeded. Your opponent, from the Orion Constellation, Alati. Victories: 19, Losses: 10, Draws: none. Win rate: 65%."

"Entering Asura Arena, random terrain, mountain peak…"

The next second, Lin Zhen appeared at the peak of a mountain.

Cloud Mist flowed beneath his feet, and the beautiful scenery was all around. The mountain peak was like a fighting platform. There were no spectators, just the opponent that appeared before him.

Alati, a Satellite Level 9 warrior with a prominent nose and deep-set eyes.

Upon seeing Lin Zhen, a smug grin crossed Alati's face, "Well, I must be quite lucky to run into a rookie. Guess my victory rate will get a boost."

"I'm afraid you're in for some disappointment. You can't even maintain your current victory rate," came the response.

"Such arrogance from a mere Satellite Level 6! I'm ranked within the top 10 on our planet. Someone like you wouldn't even make the top 100." Alati drew a golden curved knife from his side.

"Down on your knees, newbie from the Solar System. Today, you'll witness the ruthlessness of the Asura Arena."

Alati launched into the air, his knife fiercely descending towards Lin Zhen.

His strike could morph into endless variations. Regardless of which direction Lin Zhen dodged, he would inevitably fall within the range of a follow-up attack – Alati's signature move.

Lin Zhen stood still, not moving an inch. As Alati neared, Lin Zhen's mind surged – Mental Shock!

"Ugh!"

Alati felt his head spin as his sacred artifact for mental defense could not completely guard against Lin Zhen's Mental Shock, causing his movements to momentarily freeze.

A golden aura emerged from thin air. Lin Zhen's various elements had resonated with atoms now, their potency beyond comparison to before.

The sharp aura, akin to a flying sword, pierced right through Alati's forehead.

Blood trickled down from his forehead. Alati collapsed face-up without a sound, his gaze slack.

Lin Zhen won his first Asura Arena battle!

He walked out of the Asura Arena, and his match data updated: 1 victory, 0 losses, with a 100% win rate.

While he was confident in his combat abilities, this was the first victory he achieved both in his past and present lives in the Asura Arena – this made Lin Zhen truly elated.

When he walked out, Chen Fenglie and the others had also finished their matches and regrouped.

After some queries, they learned everyone had gotten lucky, each securing a victory. However, compared to the number of matches they had, individual wins barely raised their overall win rates.

Upon hearing of Lin Zhen's first victory, An Bihuai exaggeratedly commented, "Good job! With a 100% win rate if it keeps up, won't you qualify for the title of Asura King after a thousand victories?"

Lin Zhen responded with a hearty laugh, "Well, if I could maintain such a win rate, that seems likely."

They obviously treated it as a joking comment, without taking it seriously. After all, achieving a thousand consecutive wins wasn't easy.

Suddenly a mocking sneer resounded from behind them, "A bunch of backwater noobs, getting full of yourselves after just one victory."

Everyone furrowed their brows, turning around to identify the source of such rude remarks.

Upon turning, they saw a Planet Level 1 Martial Artist standing behind them.

The martial artist sneered at Lin Zhen and his group, raising his chin slightly, "What? You're not happy to hear that?"

"We have no grudges with you, why resort to insults?" Qing Xu retorted, visibly irritated.

"We may not have any issues, but I simply can't stand noobs like you. Fresh off their first win and already dreaming of a win rate at 100%? Too many participate in the Asura arena to count, everyone has their first win and their first loss, then there are fifty million out of a hundred million people with a 100% win rate in their first match. What does it prove? By the second match, half of them fall. Few keep a win rate above 80% in the end. Such idiots!"

"Damn! You're a real piece of work, aren't you?" Qing Xu was fuming.

"Bah! As if any of you are worth my time. Don't like what I said? Bring it to the Asura Arena. I may not be much, but I'll take on all you noobs in a row. Dare to take me up on it?"

"So be it! I'll take you on first!" Qing Xu was the first to agree.

The two of them gave their Dimensional Universe IDs and no further words were exchanged. They went straight into the Asura Arena.

Observing the proceedings, Lin Zhen felt a slight frown form on his face. He knew that such provocateurs were not a rare occurrence. However, this man's words were especially irritating, and no hot-blooded man would just take it lying down.

"Qing Xu is in a dangerous position. This guy is strong, his Planet Level 1 ranking is higher than ours. He's likely going to lose again," Chen Fenglie commented with a shake of his head.

An Bihuai nodded, "I'm afraid that's true. I'm not much use if Qing Xu loses, and there's still hope with you, Chen. But your win ratio is nearing eighty percent. It's best not to get involved with this. Focus on the urgent need to compete in the Asura arena. If he comes at you, just leave straight away."

It was then that Lin Zhen chimed in, "His challenge – it counts as a specified battle, correct?"

"Yes. Asking opponents directly for their ID is a form of specified battle."

"In such cases, can we raise the stakes?"

An Bihuai was momentarily taken aback: "Yes, but few do it as, oftentimes, the challengers are very strong…."

"That's fine. I'm going off to exchange some Sanjiang coins." Excited, Lin Zhen immediately set off towards the bank.

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: 100% Win Rate!

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen currently had 6 billion Tianhe Coins in his hand, and he exchanged 5 billion of them for 5 million Sanjiang coins.

This amount of money was not small in the elementary universe nation, but in the intermediate universe nation, it was just a drizzle, and many people could easily afford it.

The exchange took a minute, and it was completed in less than thirty seconds. The battle was over.

The Planet Level 1 man walked out with a smug look on his face: "Trash is trash! No matter how much you don't want to admit it, it doesn't change the fact. Who's next?"

Qing Xu's face was flushed as he lowered his head and said, "It's no use. I'm not a match for this kid."

Lin Zhen patted Qing Xu's shoulder and glanced at the man, pretending to be calm: "Fighting these pointless battles doesn't give me a thrill. If you want to fight, why not add a wager? Dare you?"

Upon hearing this, the man in the Planet Period became alert.

People like them, who bully others in the Asura Arena, often do this. Sometimes, they encounter a newcomer who has just entered the Asura Arena, and it's easy to make money from them.

Being able to brush up on their battle achievements while making money is a good thing that everyone would like to encounter.

But he did not expect Lin Zhen to dare to propose a bet first. He immediately became suspicious, wondering if he had encountered a peer.

However, looking at Lin Zhen's achievements, he thought it was unlikely. Lin Zhen had only fought one Asura Arena battle, with a record of one win and zero losses. He was definitely a newcomer.

He tested the waters and said, "Come on! Ten thousand per round?"

But Lin Zhen waved his hand, "Too little, it's not interesting. You should save that little bit of money to buy diapers for your children. I don't have time to play with you."

Seeing Lin Zhen's attitude, he became even more convinced that Lin Zhen was bluffing. Besides, Lin Zhen's realm was only at Satellite Level 6, so there was no way he could lose.

"Hahaha! Can you even afford a bigger bet? Come on, just name a number— one million or two million? Any amount is fine."

"Five million! Do you dare?"

"Dare! Whoever doesn't dare is a loser! Kid, give me your Dimensional Universe number!"

Lin Zhen reluctantly gave his number with some hesitation.

The man in the Planet Period completed the bank transfer quickly. In this kind of betting battle, both people had to transfer the money out first, then the Asura Arena would hold it, and whoever won would get it in the end.

Seeing that the other party had completed the transfer, Lin Zhen's actions also sped up, and he immediately completed the transfer.

Qing Xu was a little worried: "Lin Zhen, this is Sanjiang coins! You must be careful."

Lin Zhen nodded and immediately entered the Asura Arena.

"Asura Arena battle begins, designated combat, opponent: Ophiuchus Qingye, victories: 3328, losses: 1990…."

"Random map, wasteland…"

This was someone who had been lurking in the Asura Arena for a long time, but his failures were not few, and Lin Zhen didn't take him too seriously.

On the desolate, uninhabited wasteland, Qing Ye slowly approached Lin Zhen.

While walking, Qing Ye suddenly appeared in front of Lin Zhen!

His double swords struck like dragons, aimed directly at Lin Zhen's eyes. At the same time, a bright light burst out. If it weren't for Lin Zhen's understanding of the light atom, he would have been at a disadvantage.

The Cliff Corner Spear appeared and waved, repelling Qing Ye's attack.

The two quickly crossed paths, fighting like lightning. In the blink of an eye, they each launched tens of thousands of attacks!

"Puff, puff!"

Falling from the air, Lin Zhen's arms were both pierced by swords and blood flowed out.

Lin Zhen was shocked, as his opponent was so strong. Although not an Asura Warrior, his strength was not inferior to Shasha, whom Lin Zhen had met on Earth.

"I knew you had some tricks up your sleeve, but you're quite cunning, kid…."

Qing Ye sneered: "You wanted to pretend to be weak and bait me into betting with you, didn't you? But you really think people are stupid. I also went along with your plan and bet with you. How else could I have won such a huge bet of 5 million?!"

"You purposely did it too?" Lin Zhen's face turned serious.

"Of course, if it were a month ago, I wouldn't have fallen for your trap. But now, I've already comprehended the power of domains. Your little tricks will only backfire on you. Go to hell, and the 5 million will be mine!"

As Qing Ye raised his hand, trees suddenly grew around him, turning the wasteland into a forest. Countless thorny vines waved like venomous snakes, attacking Lin Zhen together.

"Within my forest domain, you will endure endless tree attacks—ugh!"

A planet seemed to emerge from the void, violently exploding on Qing Ye's forest domain!

The huge supernova explosion destroyed everything! His forest domain instantly crumbled!

Next, he saw Lin Zhen stabbing his spear. He tried to dodge, but Lin Zhen suddenly accelerated. The difference in timing caught him off guard, and the spear pierced his throat!

"Since both of us want to bait the other, in the end, it still boils down to strength. The one who dies is you!"

With a twist of the long spear, Qingye's head burst open like a rotten watermelon, causing him to die on the spot!

Lin Zhen retracted his spear, exited the Asura Arena, and his victory count increased to two.

Soon after, he received a notification that his account had been credited with ten million Sanjiang Coins.

Five million was his initial capital, and the other five million was his winnings.

"How was it?"

"Did you win, Brother Lin?"

"Haha, looking at Brother Lin's smile, he must have won."

Lin Zhen looked at Chen Fenglie and the others, smiled, and nodded: "I didn't disappoint you."

All of them smiled; Lin Zhen had won, and he had won five million Sanjiang Coins. That was equivalent to fifty billion Tianhe Coins. This money came in really easily.

He earned enough to be the richest man on Earth just by fighting one match.

Over the past few days, Chen Fenglie and the others had managed to make some cash by selling a few Star Artifacts and materials that they had, but this was incomparable to Lin Zhen's.

They also saw Qingye, but he was now clearly distraught. The blow from that fight was significant.

Upon seeing Lin Zhen, he didn't even dare to meet Lin Zhen's gaze. The gap in power between the two was too significant. He didn't even dare to harbor thoughts of revenge, much less express it.

Lin Zhen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief; there wasn't a single fool here. He was fishing for a win, and so was Qingye. It was just that he was more skilled and managed to win the match.

Lin Zhen didn't become complacent after winning five million. He immediately participated in the next Asura Arena match.

No waiting time was required since so many people participated. He fought match after match; at the fastest pace, he was able to fight a match in just two minutes…

Lin Zhen knew time was pressing. He didn't waste any time in each fight; Mental Shock, Elemental Power, Time Acceleration, Spatial Cutting.

As long as the opponent was at the Satellite Stage, they would have practically no resistance, and Lin Zhen would resolve the fight with ease.

Even those at the Planetary Stage struggled against Lin Zhen, not to mention truly elite fighters. With slightly more effort, Lin Zhen was still able to win the matches.

Within one hour, Lin Zhen achieved eighteen wins and zero losses…

Within three hours, Lin Zhen's record was fifty wins and zero losses!

After sixteen hours, Lin Zhen's record was two hundred and twenty-seven wins and zero losses! A 100% win rate!

When everyone was tired and left the Asura Arena, Lin Zhen's incredible results shocked Chen Fenglie and the others.

"Brother Lin, your results are a bit abnormal, right? More than two hundred wins without a single loss. Could you really achieve the Asura King title with a win rate of over ninety-nine percent?"

Looking at Chen Fenglie's surprised face, Lin Zhen smiled: "It won't be that simple. I've just been lucky so far. I haven't encountered any opponents at the Constant Star Stage today. If I were to face one, I might lose."

"I also heard something about Asura Arena. When a martial artist has outstanding results, the fights become more challenging in the later stages. If you can achieve more than nine hundred consecutive victories, then your opponents will all be at the Constant Star Stage. Asura Arena doesn't easily allow an Asura King to be born, let alone a Red Star Asura – that's even rarer." An Bihuai chimed in from beside them.

"For now, I don't dare to expect the Asura King title. No one can be undefeated forever, but I must obtain the Red Star Asura title."

Lin Zhen thought for a moment, "I estimate that before reaching five hundred wins, there will be no deliberate targeting against me. But after reaching five hundred wins, my opponents will likely all be at the Planetary Stage, and victory won't come easy at that point."

"Just give it your all tomorrow and aim for the five hundred wins first."

"Haha, alright. I won money today, so let's go out and spend some on you guys."

Qing Xu and Chen Fenglie both agreed with smiles, but An Bihuai looked at Lin Zhen, "Brother Lin, don't forget that I'm the Ancestor of your wife An Ning. Don't involve me in any messy matters. Although I am not a saint, I still feel uncomfortable doing this with you."

Chen Fenglie and Qing Xu laughed heartily. Indeed, the relationship between Lin Zhen and An Bihuai was somewhat delicate.

Lin Zhen treated them, and the four of them gorged at a grand restaurant within the Dimensional Universe. Afterward, they enjoyed a good wash before leaving the Dimensional Universe. They agreed to meet again the next day.

After leaving the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen only rested for about three hours before re-entering the Asura Arena.

He was running out of time. It wasn't easy to clinch a thousand victories. After five hundred wins, the two to three-minute matches would nearly cease to exist.

Sure enough, just as he predicted, the battles on the second day proceeded without any incidents.

Most of the opponents he faced were at the Satellite Stage, with occasional encounters with Planetary Stages. The highest was a Planet Level Eight opponent.

This fight took Lin Zhen ten minutes to win, making it the longest he had fought so far.

He fought tirelessly from dawn to dusk, and by the time he completed his 500th match, he had to rest again due to mental fatigue.

After two days of intense battle, Lin Zhen's record had changed again.

"Solar System Lin Zhen, 500 victories, 0 losses, 100% win rate!"

Seeing this result, Lin Zhen also felt a wave of excitement in his heart.

"99% win rate, over a thousand victories, advancing to become a one-crown Asura King… I wonder if I'll have that opportunity?"

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Spiritual Power Battle Tactics

Translator: 549690339

Things really turned out as Lin Zhen had predicted.

After winning 500 consecutive fights, he no longer faced any Satellite Stage opponents.

Although Lin Zhen wasn't afraid of Planet Stage opponents, the battles became more difficult.

He could sometimes instantly kill Satellite Stage opponents, but it was not as simple to defeat Planet Stage opponents. They usually had to go through a fierce fight first.

What used to last one or two minutes now took three to five minutes, and even longer if he encountered strong Planet eighth and ninth levels, the battle could last more than ten minutes.

Nonetheless, Lin Zhen still maintained a perfect winning streak.

On the third day, Lin Zhen achieved 532 consecutive victories.

On the fourth day, Lin Zhen scored 570 victories.

On the fifth day, Lin Zhen won 603 victories…!

However, on the ninth day, after 761 consecutive wins, Lin Zhen lost for the first time.

A man dressed in red, from the capital of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, Sky Island Star, named Jie Li, a Seven-level Constant Star expert.

This was the first time Lin Zhen encountered a Constant Star Stage opponent in Asura Arena. When he saw Jie Li, he knew something was wrong.

To become a Red Star Shura, one's winning rate should be above 95%. Especially in the case of this man with seven stars, Lin Zhen was shocked to see his number of victories, 119,302 wins!

Nearly 120,000 wins, and a victory rate of 98%!

"This guy is not far from becoming an Asura King!"

Jie Li's gaze brightened when he saw Lin Zhen entering the arena.

"Oh! Satellite Level 6, Diamond Peak Spiritual Mind Master, not bad."

The fact that he could see Lin Zhen's spiritual power intensity so easily proved one thing: his spiritual strength was even stronger than Lin Zhen's.

Being polite to such a strong opponent, Lin Zhen said, "I'm still far behind compared to fellow elder."

Jie Li looked Lin Zhen up and down for a while, and suddenly his eyes widened, "You're not even 30 years old yet?"

Lin Zhen nodded, as he was only 23 years old now.

Jie Li praised, "You are indeed a rare genius, could you please tell me your Dimensional Universe number?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhen told him his number.

"Great, I think we'll have a chance to meet again. Let me show you now how Diamond Level and above Spiritual Mind Masters fight."

"Clang!"

A sharp metallic sound was heard as Jie Li released five curved blades from his hand.

The speed of these blades was too fast for the naked eye to catch, and their sharpness hurt Lin Zhen's skin even before they arrived.

"This is the opponent's psychokinetic weapon! His spiritual power is so strong!"

Lin Zhen's pupils widened for a moment, as Jie Li's spiritual power was stronger than his, and there was a layer of green on the blades.

For the first time, Lin Zhen met a Spiritual Mind Master stronger than himself. Facing these incredibly fast mental power weapons, Lin Zhen used his Seven Stars Knife to fight back.

He released seven Elemental Flying Knives, and his Seven Stars Knife had already been promoted to the level of a divine artifact. The opponent's five blades were divine artifacts as well.

But as soon as the Seven Stars Knife collided with the opponent's blades, Lin Zhen found himself at a significant disadvantage.

Although his spiritual power was weaker, he could still struggle to block a few times. However, when it came to controlling the knives, Lin Zhen was far behind!

"Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang!!!"

After a series of sharp sounds, Lin Zhen's Seven Stars Knife was completely knocked down by Jie Li's blades. Jie Li could accurately hit the weak spots of the Seven Stars Knife while the blades were moving at high speed, rendering Lin Zhen's strength useless.

It was like two people fighting, with the opponent attacking the essential spots such as joints and nerves, making it impossible for Lin Zhen to use his brute strength.

As the Seven Stars Knife hit the ground, Lin Zhen gave up resisting.

His opponent's blades were too fast, and he didn't even have a chance to launch a close-range attack. Slow moves such as Thunder Kill and Starburst couldn't be of any use, and Mental Shock was out of the question.

Jie Li laughed and said to Lin Zhen, "Your spiritual power is very strong, much stronger than when I was at the Satellite Stage. I was still a War God when I was in my twenties, and now I'm almost two thousand years old, so there's no shame in losing."

"But I was completely unable to resist," Lin Zhen regretted.

"You lost because you haven't systematically learned how to use spiritual power in battle. You need to find a suitable mental power technique. Your flying knives have excellent quality, but their power depends entirely on your mental strength. To kill only by speed is like having a good sword but no sword skill. You need a set of sword skills."

"But… where can I buy mental power weapon techniques?"

"Mental power techniques are extremely precious and not available in ordinary places. Those who get these secret techniques will auction them off if they don't use them themselves. Perhaps you can try your luck at the Dimensional Auction House."

"Dimensional Auction House?"

"Yes, the Dimensional Auction House is one of the leading enterprises in the universe. All the best goods are sold there, but don't go in if you don't have enough money, as it can easily lead to frustration, haha!"

After finishing his words, Jie Li's blades flashed by like lightning, and Lin Zhen fell to the ground.

Thus, Lin Zhen had 621 victories and one defeat, with a winning rate of 99%.

No matter how many wins one had, as long as they lost one fight, the winning rate was no longer 100% and was all calculated as 99%.

After leaving the Asura Arena, Lin Zhen didn't feel discouraged. He knew that no one could win forever, and failure was also a valuable asset; otherwise, one would never know where they were lacking.

First, he asked Chris to check the transaction records of mental-powered weapons and combat techniques in the Dimensional Auction House. He knew about this place, but he had never been there before.

"Master, I don't have the necessary permissions to access that information."

"What do I have to do to get permission?"

"You must become a member of the auction house. As a member of the Dimensional Auction House, you can buy and sell items freely."

"How can I become a member?"

"When your account balance reaches 100 million in high-level Universe Country currency, you can apply for membership."

Lin Zhen's mouth twitched. Were they talking about 100 million Kirin Coins? That was equivalent to a trillion Sanjiang Coins, while he currently only had 10 million Sanjiang Coins. The gap was immense.

Although he couldn't obtain mental-powered weapons and combat techniques for the time being, Lin Zhen now had a goal: he was determined to raise enough funds to become a member of the Dimensional Auction House.

After losing a match, Lin Zhen continued his battles in the Asura Arena.

For a while, he did not encounter any overly formidable martial artists, or at least none with an Asura Title.

On the tenth day, Lin Zhen had 692 wins and one loss.

On the eleventh day, Lin Zhen achieved 739 wins.

On the fifteenth day, Lin Zhen won his 899th match!

"So far, I've participated in 900 Asura Arena battles and only lost one. As long as I win another 101 matches, I'll be able to obtain the Asura Title."

"If I want to become an Asura King, I mustn't lose more than ten matches, so that my win rate remains at 99%."

"However, with my current strength, it might be difficult to become an Asura King. If I want to become a Red Star Shura, I must earn 1,000 wins while keeping my losses below fifty; otherwise, my win rate won't stay above 95%."

"In the upcoming battles, I suspect that most of my opponents will be at the Constant Star Stage, and the chances of encountering Asura Warriors will greatly increase. I don't have much confidence when it comes to fighting across two major realms."

"Regardless, I must obtain the title of Red Star Shura—I hope everything goes smoothly."

Lin Zhen took a short break, adjusted his state to its peak, and re-entered the Asura Arena.

His time was running out, as there were only five days left until the Anderson family's second assassin arrived.

Inside the Ancient God City, Diana had personally taken up the search for World Stones.

World Stones contained self-contained worlds within them—only those above the Black Hole Period with great power could use them, as ordinary people had no need for such items.

Because they already had Space Rings.

One could say that World Stones were like Space Rings for super powerful individuals!

However, this Space Ring was a real world, and to protect their wealth, there were often dangers within.

The owner of Laya Star was a fiercely powerful Seven-Crowned Asura King at the Star System Stage. His wealth was enough to make many people envious.

"Move faster! Don't miss any stones. Investigate each one carefully. Even the smallest pebble shouldn't be overlooked!"

Ya Xuan stood next to Diana, loudly urging the soldiers of the Tianhe Empire below, who were scanning the stones one by one with small detectors. Farther away, many people were dismantling the pyramids.

Diana glanced at Ya Xuan: "Has your soul recovered?"

"Count, my soul has indeed recovered. Fortunately, you found Lin Zhen's scheme, or else I would have been his puppet for the rest of my life."

"Hmph! I wasted a Soul-stabilizing Stone to save you."

"Count, I'm unable to repay your kindness, so the only thing I can do is devote my life to serving you."

Diana nodded: "How many more days until these pyramids are dismantled completely?"

"At most a week. We're working overtime and have sped up considerably compared to the original plan."

"Faster. As soon as our work here is done, we can return home."

Ya Xuan nodded and hesitated before saying, "My Lord, we've learned that Lin Zhen is currently battling in the Asura Arena, and his record is quite impressive."

"Has he entered the Satellite Stage? What's his record?" Diana asked.

"It seems he has over 900 wins, with only three losses."

Diana closed her eyes: "This isn't good. If he becomes a Red Star Shura, he'll be able to take out a loan from the Dimensional Universe Bank. Then he'll definitely apply to become a Lord, and at that point, I won't be able to stop him."

"Ah! If he becomes a Lord, he'll definitely drive us out. What should we do?"

"What's his number and exact record?"

"His number is 777778888899999, and his record is 915 wins and 3 losses!"

"I have to stop him," Diana said firmly.

"How will you stop him?" Ya Xuan asked.

"Don't forget that I am a Gold Level Four-star Asura Warrior at the Five-level Constant Star Stage. I can also participate in the Asura Arena. As long as I keep challenging him specifically, he won't have time to participate in random battles, forcing him to accept my challenge sooner or later."

"But what if he never accepts?"

"That's even better. As long as we can hold out for five more days, he will never need to accept again!"

"Explode!"

A planet explodes in front of the eyes, and the huge light engulfs an opponent of Constant Star Level two.

Lin Zhen's body leaves the Asura Arena.

"916 victories today, aiming for 925 victories in total, complete a thousand wins within four days, so that I'd have one day left to get a loan and become a Lord."

Lin Zhen took a break and was about to fight the next match when suddenly a challenge for a designated battle came in.

"Master, the Golden Four-Star Asura Warrior Diana has issued a challenge to you, you can choose to accept or reject."

Lin Zhen furrowed his brows slightly, Diana was actually challenging him.

If it was usual, Lin Zhen wouldn't mind having a match with her, but at critical moments like this when he was about to get promoted to Asura, he didn't want unnecessary troubles.

This woman clearly had malicious intentions. Was she planning to strike at him through the Asura Arena?

"Reject!"

Chris immediately helped Lin Zhen to reject. Just as they were about to start a random battle, another challenge was issued by the opponent.

"Master, Diana has issued a challenge to you again. Do you accept or reject?"

"Reject!"

As soon as the rejection was complete, the challenge came again before they could even start a random one.

"Master, the opponent has automatically locked onto you in the Asura Arena for a challenge, and will immediately follow up with another challenge once you reject."

"Can't I block her?" Lin Zhen frowned.

"My authority is not sufficient to block her. She's a Golden Four-Star Asura, unless your star-level surpasses her, or you are promoted to a Red Star Shura, you cannot block her."

"In other words, as long as she keeps challenging and I refuse to accept her challenge, I won't be able to continue fighting."

"Yes, you won't be able to proceed with the next Asura Arena battle, if you don't accept the challenge."

Lin Zhen couldn't help but curse under his breath, he completely understood her intentions, she wanted to prevent him from becoming an Asura.

If he lost the battle, his winning rate would drop, and he'd still not be able to get promoted to Asura in the end.

Lin Zhen thought for a moment: "Well, I have to accept then. I can't wait her out in these few days."

"Accept. Opponent: Diana from Jade Star, Tianhe Empire, Golden Four-Star Asura Warrior. Victories: 12902. Losses: 1098. Win rate: 92%."

"Entering scenario… desert…"

The scenery in front of Lin Zhen's eyes changed, and he appeared in an endless expanse of yellow sand.

A hundred meters opposite him stood Diana, her eyes coldly staring at him.

"Count Lin Zhen, you finally accepted my challenge."

"I really didn't expect such a shameless method of challenging from a lady."

Diana sneered: "Lin Zhen, you still have the mood to banter with me. I can tell you clearly that during this period, except for fighting me, you won't be able to participate in any Asura Arena battles. I will keep challenging you, defeating you, and if you have the time, I can even reduce your win rate to 50%."

"It is truly an honor to be sparring with a Gold Level Four-star Asura. It seems you have ample time."

"Are you scared, Lin Zhen? The solution is simple, take your disgusting pirates and leave Earth right now. The further away, the better, but you are absolutely not allowed to step in the solar system. Swear on your Heart of Warrior, and I will spare you."

"No need for more words, I choose to fight." Lin Zhen pulled out his Cliff Corner Spear.

"Ignorant!"

Diana spat out a few cold words and suddenly disappeared into the yellow sand.

"Behind!"

Lin Zhen swiftly held his spear up to block, and Diana's heavy sword struck!

"Clang!"

A huge collision sound rang out, and Lin Zhen's body swayed slightly. The Galaxy Beast's clone was far stronger than any equivalent martial artist – even if Diana was of the Constant Star Stage, she still wouldn't gain any advantages.

"Such great power, you are indeed not a commoner. It's a pity that the one with greater strength doesn't always win."

Diana didn't succeed in the first sword strike, and the following attacks were initiated like a storm. Her sword skills were absolutely exquisite, Lin's spear couldn't gain any advantage in the counterattack and quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Mental Shock!

Lin Zhen's mental shock was emitted, and both of them retreated simultaneously. Diana was also a Diamond Peak Spiritual Mind Master.

Lin Zhen wanted to use the Space Slice, yet Diana's body movements were extremely bizarre. It was hard for Lin Zhen to predict her next step and find an opportunity to perform a Space Slice.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Lin Zhen swiftly took a few steps back, suddenly turned around and used the Back Horse Spear.

Time acceleration!

Lin Zhen had mastered ten times the time acceleration and the spear drastically speeded up in his hand.

This move took Diana by surprise but she reacted swiftly. Her shoulder shook slightly, and she wasn't seriously injured by Lin Zhen's spear. It hurt her, yet it didn't make her lose her combat strength.

"Haha! So this is your trump card, almost succeeded, but Lin Zhen, you won't have this opportunity again."

"Gravity Space!"

Diana's thought moved, and a black space enveloped her surroundings, surprisingly this was her domain.

Suddenly, a powerful pressure came down from the sky, and Lin Zhen's feet sank into the sand.

Lin Zhen had experienced Huo Luofu's gravity field, but that gravity field was full of flaws and very brittle, Lin Zhen's Thunder Kill can break it.

But Diana's Gravity Space was absolutely different, Lin Zhen's shoulders felt like they were holding up a mountain. It was actually a hundred times gravity!

"Galaxy Domain!"

Lin Zhen also exhibited the Galaxy Domain in response, but his Galaxy Domain was suppressed by Diana's Gravity Space.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect you to have mastered the domain as well, but it's a pity that your domain is only a first-level domain. My domain power has already reached level two. You can't suppress me, instead, you're suppressed by me. Lin Zhen, you stand no chance!"

Under this circumstance, Lin Zhen's spear attack became extremely sluggish, Lin Zhen's accelerated spearmanship couldn't even reach his normal speed.

Lin Zhen developed the idea to initiate Starburst, but his current Starburst speed was still slower, it took more than two seconds to complete.

Diana did not give Lin Zhen this opportunity, she quickly chased after him under the boost of the gravity field, knocking Lin Zhen down with a chain killing move!

All this happened within less than a second!

The scene altered, Lin Zhen had already left the Asura Arena.

Before he could react, another challenge arrived.

It was still Diana, she did not give Lin Zhen a moment's time at all. As she herself said, she wanted to cling to Lin Zhen for these few days, absolutely not allowing him to advance to Asura.

Lin Zhen was also a little annoyed, alright, let's fight again!

He resolutely returned to the Asura Arena. Lin Zhen and Diana once again fought together.

The result was not much better than last time, Diana directly activated the gravity space, Lin Zhen also activated the Galaxy Domain to cope with her, but his speed was greatly suppressed. Whenever Lin Zhen wanted to condense Starburst, Diana would not give him the opportunity.

It took 1.1 seconds, Lin Zhen was defeated again!

"Again!"

This time Lin Zhen took the lesson, he began to condense the Starburst from the start, but Diana's Gravity Space was also activated quickly, she started to chase after Lin Zhen as soon as the space was opened.

This time was slightly better, he managed to hold on for 1.2 seconds.

"It seems that my manouever can be improved a bit, come again!"

Lin Zhen accepted the challenge and returned again. At that moment of life and death battle, it really stimulated his potential, Lin Zhen truly had some insights on techniques, it successfully shortened the Starburst absorption time by about 0.3 seconds.

But this speed was still not enough, he held on for 1.5 seconds. The Starburst was not condensed yet, he was again eliminated by Diana.

The fifth time… the sixth time…

The tenth time… the twentieth time…

Time flew fast, Lin Zhen's Starburst technique became increasingly proficient amidst the life-and-death battles, but that was all, Diana's speed was even faster. He had not succeeded in launching Starburst even once.

When Lin Zhen was eliminated for the fortieth time, he finally calmed down.

Lin Zhen ignored Diana, quietly contemplating the previous battles.

Venus Asura's strength was indeed impressive. After all, Lin Zhen's training time was too short; neither the Star Core Domain nor Starburst were fully developed, unable to crack Diana's Gravity Space.

Without cracking this Gravity Space, he wouldn't be able to win. Without victory, he wouldn't get Asura Title, and that would set off a big chain reaction later.

The only way to win is to speed up the Starburst and destroy her Gravity Space.

Lin Zhen was very familiar with the process of Starburst; if he could finish Starburst within 0.5 seconds, he still stood a chance.

"These failures were not in vain, my Starburst and Time Acceleration have both improved, can be completed within about 1.5 seconds. But to go from 1.5 seconds to 0.5 seconds, it relies purely on the manouever is not enough, it would also require a significant improvement in my Spiritual Power."

Lin Zhen thought of Jie Li, the Red Seven Star Asura Warrior; his spiritual power had already exceeded the Diamond Realm. If Lin Zhen reached that realm, his Starburst completion speed would surely advance rapidly.

"The only way to increase spiritual power is to let the spiritual power enter the black hole in my Dark Star, and let the spiritual power grow rapidly under the influence of the black hole."

At the core of Lin Zhen's Dark Star was a neutron, which contained the breath of the black hole, but unless it was the last resort, Lin Zhen really didn't want to face this black hole.

"I can't care about that much now, upon reaching this realm many martial artists already have spiritual power of the Diamond Period in order to take a lead, I must take chances. Now I already have 915 wins and 41 losses, if I lose again I won't be able to obtain the Red Star Shura Title for a short time!"

Lin Zhen decided to leave the Dimensional Universe and the Asura Arena.

He needed a quiet environment to break through spiritual power.

"Lin Zhen has left the Dimensional Universe!"

Diana sent the challenge and saw that Lin Zhen's name had turned grey. This indicated that he had left.

"Haha! Finally gave up, did you? It seems you finally realized that there is no hope in defeating me."

"To give you some credit, you sure are persistent. It took you forty consecutive defeats to finally give up. But now you finally understand that as long as I have Gravity Space, you cannot win."

"Without the Asura Title, you won't get the title Earth Lord. Lin Zhen, you are finished!"

Diana told her living intelligence: "Keep an eye on Lin Zhen's Dimensional Universe number all the time, alert me as soon as he appears. During these few days, I will keep a close eye on him!"

Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Breakthrough, Spiritual Power!

Translator: 549690339

"Lin Zhen has left the Dimensional Universe!"

In a VIP room of the Asura Arena, Jie Li, who had once defeated Lin Zhen, was drinking with another martial artist.

Having a VIP room in the Asura Arena represents a high social status, as the daily rent is millions of Sanjiang currency, something that ordinary people cannot afford.

There is a row of screens on the walls of the room, and even the live broadcast of the battles in the Asura Arena can be seen here.

The other martial artist Lin Zhen had seen before, it was Han Sha, the first Asura Warrior he had ever met.

Back then, Han Sha was a Golden Five-star Asura, but now he has become a Red Six-star, showing that he has made significant progress during this time.

"Yes, he's gone."

"He didn't quit the Asura Arena because he got discouraged, right?" Jie Li asked.

"Probably not. If he can't even withstand this kind of setback, then his mental quality would be too bad." Han Sha said.

"Hehe! Since you recommended him, I paid attention, but I think it's better to observe him for a little longer. If Lin Zhen can successfully defeat that woman, we can consider absorbing him into the organization. If he can't even pass this test, he is not qualified to join us."

"All right, let's decide on that. The under 100 years old concentration camp will start in two years. I heard that it will be a training in a World Stone. Lin Zhen and another one named Chen Fenglie, are both under 100 years old, especially Lin Zhen, who is only 23 this year. It will be a pity if he can't participate."

"Good seedlings are good seedlings, but if they cannot withstand setbacks, they are ultimately flowers in the greenhouse. Let's see his performance. If he succeeds, we will give him a big surprise."

Both Han Sha and Jie Li sat there, embroidered with a common symbol on their bodies – the Galaxy Beast!

Galaxy Beasts are the wandering giant beasts in the universe, and their powerful species are worshipped by many races in the universe.

For example, the symbol of the advanced civilization Universe Country Fire Kirin Empire is the Super Star River Beast Fire Kirin.

Possessing the bloodline of the Galaxy Beast is the aspiration and pursuit of many people.

Therefore, there is an organization in the universe called the Star River Giant Beast Alliance.

These people try every means to implant the beast genes that best match them into their bodies, stimulate the power of the bloodline, and those who succeed can obtain talents that ordinary people can't reach.

The Star River Giant Beast Alliance is definitely a super organization in the universe. They have members in all the major Universe Countries, countless people are eager to join them, but they might not necessarily be willing to accept them.

Resources are limited, and they only absorb geniuses. Outstanding talents can rise to unimaginable positions and acquire resources and status.

Jie Li and Han Sha are both members of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

Lin Zhen and Chen Fenglie are both the potential new members they have their eyes on.

After Lin Zhen left the Dimensional Universe, his avatar stayed in place to familiarize himself with the Starburst technique, while his main focus was on his main body side.

The main body is still practicing on the moon. With the avatar outside, the main body has the advantage of continuous practice and never rests.

At this moment, his mind is fully immersed in the Dark Star and undisturbed by anything else. His Spiritual Power is concentrated on the Dark Star.

"In the end, I have to take this step. I have to deal with this black hole."

"During the previous times, I even had the courage to confront the black hole, but that was out of necessity. It was passive, but this time, I need to be proactive."

The protection of Earth is significant to Lin Zhen. If he can't protect the very home he depends on, his rebirth would be a failure.

So, for this, he has to bravely face the black hole.

Dazzling diamond-like Spiritual Power began to enter the Dark Star, penetrating the surface, passing through the layers of rubble, through the crust and the core, reaching the Planet Core.

After passing the inner core, it was the core of the Dark Star.

Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power lingered outside the core for a while, and then finally mustered the courage to drill into the core.

At the very center was a neutron, a neutron from the Cosmic black hole.

Spiritual power engulfed the neutron and slowly penetrated into it.

Gradually, the breath that made Lin Zhen's soul tremble appeared.

Black Hole!

Through the vision of Spiritual Power, Lin Zhen saw the inside of the neutron, the seemingly small yet infinitely large trap of the universe – a black hole!

Some people believe that the formation of black holes is caused by the explosion of supermassive constant stars.

The powerful explosion energy causes space collapse, chaos between cosmic space and dimensional space, and the rotation of cosmic storms, forming the devouring black hole.

The light released by the explosion of a constant star is light speed, so the range reached by the light is the visual field of the black hole.

Within this visual field, light cannot escape the suction of the black hole.

Seeing the black hole, Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power couldn't escape its gravitational pull as well.

Whizz!

The world spun!

As if leading to eternal nothingness, the huge black hole sucked in Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power.

Although the black hole inside this neutron is absolutely incomparable to a real black hole, it is still a micro black hole, a remnant of a real black hole, but it still makes Lin Zhen feel cold in his hands and feet.

Interwoven black and white rays of light flashed by, forming endless circles as if traveling infinitely between the real and illusory worlds. The pulling force from the soul made Lin Zhen's head almost burst!

"Ah! Here it comes again!"

This pain, Lin Zhen had experienced it before. His soul had experienced it.

At that time, Lin Zhen had just died, and his hope for life made him endure it. But this time, he was still alive, and his soul was still alive!

"There must be…must be…nothing more painful than this in the world!"

Lin Zhen's soul was shouting, his spiritual power was twisting, and his body on the moon was convulsing constantly, but he could not move, nor speak a single word.

He almost wanted to give up right away; he didn't want to endure even for a second. If he stopped the rotation of the dark star, maybe the black hole inside the dark star would stop rotating as well. But Lin Zhen couldn't do that.

He had to hold on, he swore to himself that he would only hold on for one second.

One second passed, it felt like millions of needles piercing into his brain, stirring his brain into a mush!

His will made him want to hold on for another second!

At the second second, he felt that every bone of his body was crushed, then reattached, and then crushed again!

"I think…I can still hold on for the third second!"

At the third second, Lin Zhen felt that his flesh was being torn off bit by bit. Though only a little each time, the frequency was so high that his soul was convulsing!

At the fourth second, his spiritual power was at the verge of fainting.

At the fifth second, he was awakened by the pain again.

Then, he told himself to hold on for the sixth second….

"I must hold on, I must see… see what's inside this black hole. As long as I'm alive, I want to see…"

His body lay on the crater floor, his sweat soaking the ground around him into mud…

Around his spiritual power, terrifying cosmic storms were tearing and pulling, he felt like a ghost, constantly changing shape.

And moving deeper into the black hole…

One minute, which seemed like a hundred years to Lin Zhen, every second was hell, the hell inside hell.

The black hole was so deep and endless, as if it would never reach an end.

If this was any other person, they might have died by now, the deep pain in their soul would have killed them.

But Lin Zhen was still holding on, because he remembered the last time he had gone through a black hole.

If he could endure the first time, there was no reason he couldn't endure the second time.

Moreover, he could feel that his long-stagnant spiritual power was actually showing signs of loosening and growing under this intense stimulation that surpassed human tolerance!

Joy and hope were the driving force of endurance in desperate situations.

Ten minutes later, it didn't seem so unbearable.

Although the pain was only slightly less compared to before, like the difference between the eighteenth and seventeenth levels of hell, it was hope for Lin Zhen.

Fortunately, this was not a real giant black hole; the cosmic storms inside could not kill him, and neutrons would not form here, stars would not be born or destroyed here, he had somewhat adapted to this pain.

During the long journey in the black hole, Lin Zhen did not know how much time had passed, nor how many times he had experienced the pain of death and life, he was simply holding onto a bit of determination in his heart, maintaining a moment of clarity in his mind, and heading towards the end of the black hole.

Perhaps after a hundred hours, or a hundred days, he finally saw a light or, more accurately, felt a point.

Naked Singularity!

A naked singularity is a gravitational singularity in theory surrounded by an event horizon.

Some people think that a black hole is made up of a naked singularity and the event horizon surrounding it. The fastest light cannot escape the range of the event horizon, so people outside the black hole can never see the inside of it.

However, naked singularities are the opposite. Light and other particles have a chance to escape from the singularity to the far distance, and the event horizon thus does not exist.

Therefore, the singularity is the origin of space-time distortion and the center of the black hole!

When Lin Zhen's soul came to the edge of the singularity, he suddenly realized something.

Just as the center of a storm has no wind, the safest place in the black hole is the core singularity.

Here there is powerful vitality and strength. The surrounding space-time is like dye in the water, swirling and twisting in a strange way.

Upon contacting the power of the singularity, the pain in Lin Zhen's body was suddenly swept away.

In its place, his spiritual power grew stronger!

Crack!

The Diamond Level spiritual power began to crack!

A lush green color began to radiate from within the spiritual power.

If Lin Zhen's diamond spiritual power was a flower bud, then these lush lines were the opened petals!

"I've broken through! My spiritual power has broken through!"

"I've reached a realm I've never heard of in my previous life, and although it's my first time, I instinctively feel that this spiritual power should be called Sky Blue Level spiritual power!"

As the Sky Blue power appeared on the diamond, Lin Zhen's spiritual power began to surge like a tide!

He achieved it, he achieved a realm he could never have imagined in his previous life!

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Starburst from the Solar System!

Translator: 549690339

The power within the singularity infused Lin Zhen's spiritual power, causing his spiritual power to skyrocket rapidly!

This time it was a real surge. Once the first light blue thread appeared, it began to spread like a silk thread on the diamond spiritual power cluster.

It was as if emerald was infused into a diamond, forming a wave of patterns, and gradually expanding.

One percent… Ten percent!

Fifteen percent… Thirty percent…!

This was an extremely enjoyable process. Lin Zhen felt as if he was floating in a warm ocean, and the pleasure brought by the growth of his spiritual power was indescribable.

Thoughts spreading, power increasing, time quietly passing by…

Lin Zhen had no idea how much time had passed when the growth of his spiritual power finally stopped.

Within his spiritual power scope, he found that the black hole had ceased spinning and the singularity had disappeared!

The space and time around him seemed to have solidified, losing their vitality and vigor, as the black hole turned into a white hole.

Just like how stars have a lifespan, black holes do too. No black hole can exist forever, and when it loses its power, it will become a lifeless white hole, eventually vanishing.

Now, the black hole within Lin Zhen's Dark Star was dead!

"The singularity's power has completely disappeared, its event horizon is no longer present, the black hole has lost its core power, and everything is turning into nothingness."

Lin Zhen let out a long sigh of relief, and when he looked at the spiritual power cluster within his body, he was overjoyed.

The dazzling diamond spiritual power cluster had transformed into a mixture of diamond and sky blue color.

Sky Blue power had reached fifty percent!

"I've actually reached the mid-Sky Blue stage, how formidable must this spiritual power be? It took me multiple opportunities to achieve the peak diamond spiritual power, but now, half of my spiritual power has turned into Sky Blue, and my overall spiritual power has actually doubled!"

"This Sky Blue power is beyond comparison to diamond!"

Up until now, Lin Zhen had met many people, but only that Red Star Shura Jie Li had sky blue spiritual power, and he felt that his spiritual power had definitely not reached the mid-Sky Blue stage, but was only in the early stage.

"I guess the highest level Spiritual Mind Master of Constant Star only has Sky Blue power. Most of them have already lived for a thousand years, and I am only twenty-three years old."

Lin Zhen felt a bit of pride swelling in his heart, as his achievements in this life were now far beyond those of his previous life.

With a single thought, Lin Zhen's spiritual power immediately left the planet's core and rushed to the surface of the Dark Star.

The Dark Star world was stable, the years in the Primordial Era slowly advanced with the rotation of the Dark Star, mountains and seas have formed, there were wind and light, and it already possesses the basic conditions for the birth of life.

Withdrawing his spiritual power, Lin Zhen realized that he was now lying on a hill.

Checking the time, he realized that he had spent a whole three days on this training!

"In two days, in two days time, the second batch of killers from the Anderson family I predicted will arrive."

"Before that, I must obtain the Asura Title and become a Lord."

"If I go to the Dimensional Universe again, I guess Diana will immediately come to stop me. Now I need some time to practice my Starburst. This time, I must give that woman a big surprise!"

Lin Zhen sat up, slowly closing his eyes, and waved his hand. His spiritual power began to rapidly revolve, giving birth to a star!

0.5 seconds!

It worked!

Previously, Lin Zhen had struggled to condense Starbursts but could not break through the 1.5-second barrier. Now, he casually condensed them, achieving the ideal 0.5 seconds!

Moreover, this was not Lin Zhen's limit; his spiritual power still had room to accelerate.

With the help of time acceleration, Lin Zhen once again condensed Starbursts.

0.39 seconds!

"That's great, it's actually below 0.4 seconds now."

"I still need to compress time a bit more. The faster the Starburst, the better. As long as the speed is quick enough, I can even let Starbursts chain together, becoming a powerful weapon during battle!"

Filled with excitement, Lin Zhen began studying Starbursts on the hill.

Although the subsequent acceleration slowed down, with Lin Zhen's continuous optimization, Starbursts were indeed constantly shortening the time required.

0.37, 0.35, 0.34…!

0.3, 0.28…!

About five hours later, Lin Zhen felt that his technique had reached its limit, and could no longer be shortened.

However, the time it took for Starbursts had successfully compressed down to 0.2 seconds, which was his current maximum level.

"0.2 seconds per Starburst, I can release five Starbursts in one second. But this is just my normal state, under the Galaxy Domain condition, I can compress Starbursts to 0.14 seconds, delivering seven Starbursts per second."

With a thought, the Galaxy Domain appeared, and Lin Zhen raised his hand. In one second, seven different elements within his body transformed into seven stars.

Arranged like the Big Dipper, these seven stars were like seven nuclear bombs, ready to launch a lethal attack whenever Lin Zhen wished to.

At this point, Lin Zhen let out a long sigh; the gains he made during this time were huge.

Withdrawing his Galaxy Domain, he raised his hand again, and five planets appeared in one second, rotating like a ring in his palm.

"Go!"

With a flick of his hand, the five planets shot out like meteors and exploded on the moon's surface!

Boom!!!

The moon was enveloped in a layer of dust, with five shockwaves clearing the air, pushing the dust to block out the moonlight. At this moment, the moon disappeared from view on Earth!

Five new craters were born!

Other than the lack of nuclear radiation, the power of these five starbursts was no weaker than that of nuclear bombs!

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Zhen's mouth.

"Asura Arena, here I come again!"

Chris appeared, and Lin Zhen's thoughts entered the Dimensional Universe again, appearing outside the Asura Arena!

In the Ancient God City, a group of soldiers worked together to push down the last pyramid.

"Quickly, quickly, hurry up, this is the last one. Make sure to investigate all the stones within two days."

Ya Xuan shouted loudly while speaking to Diana: "Count, it will be done soon. The World Stone must be within the last pyramid."

Diana frowned slightly: "Is it such a coincidence? There are so many pyramids, and we haven't found the World Stone. Could it be in the last one?"

"There should be no mistake. After all, the World Stone is just a stone. All the stones are here, so it can't have flown away."

"I hope so."

At this time, Diana's intelligent life issued a prompt: "Master, Lin Zhen has logged into the Dimensional Universe."

"Immediately go to the Dimensional Universe. In the last two days, nothing can go wrong."

Diana entered the Dimensional Universe and immediately sent a challenge to Lin Zhen, with the time difference not exceeding three seconds.

After issuing the challenge, she took a long breath, thinking that Lin Zhen had no chance.

In her opinion, Lin Zhen would not dare to fight, as he had already lost more than 40 battles, and if he lost again, it would be even more difficult for him to become a Red Star Asura.

Unexpectedly, the moment the challenge was issued, her intelligent life sent a prompt.

"The opponent has accepted the challenge. Map is being made, Icefield…"

There was a flash in front of her, and a vast, white wilderness appeared all around. Large flakes of snow fell from the sky, and Lin Zhen stood opposite her.

Diana stepped forward on the fresh snow, and seeing Lin Zhen not making any moves, she didn't rush to activate her Gravity Space.

"Count Lin Zhen, I advise you to give up. With me watching you, it's delusional for you to want to advance to Asura."

"Is there no hope at all?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Of course there is no chance. Even if you don't accept my challenge, with your current win rate and number of victories, it's impossible to complete the Asura challenge within two days."

"Why would Lady Diana mention two days? Could something happen in two days?" Lin Zhen asked with a slanted smile.

Diana suddenly realized that she had let slip, but she didn't care too much. In her eyes, Lin Zhen was as good as dead, and there was nothing to worry about.

"Why bother talking so much with you? Lin Zhen, take your Lord's dream to hell! The Solar System will never belong to you!"

"Gravity Space!"

With a thought, Diana created the Gravity Space.

At the same time, Lin Zhen raised his hand.

Within 0.2 seconds, a planet appeared in Lin Zhen's palm.

Lin Zhen infused this planet with intense golden energy!

The golden energy burst out like a hedgehog, and Lin Zhen stared intently at Diana: "You say the Solar System is not mine, but it's even less likely to be yours, an outsider. Diana, your only choice is to get lost!"

"Taste the power of a planet from the Solar System, Venus Explosion!"

"One Hundred Times Gravity!"

A strong sense of unease rose in Diana, and the gravity immediately enveloped Lin Zhen, but it was already too late.

The Venus that Lin Zhen simulated in his hand exploded directly within Diana's Gravity Space!

A point of light was born, contracted violently, and then burst forth!

The virtual space of the Asura Arena shook, Diana's Gravity Space cracked, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. However, she did not give up on her Gravity Space. With five-level Constant Star Power, she forcefully maintained the Gravity Space. Without it, she was unsure whether she could defeat Lin Zhen.

"Hehe, you can still hold on? Then try this, Jupiter Explosion!"

Lin Zhen flicked his hand, and another planet exploded!

Boom~~~!!

Finally, Diana's Gravity Space couldn't bear it any longer and shattered like a mirror.

Diana screamed miserably, spewing a mouthful of blood. The two explosions had displaced her internal organs.

With the Gravity Space gone, Lin Zhen charged forward. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Diana. His hair danced as he slammed his hand towards her: "Diana, I'll collect some interest today, so stay down! Mercury Explosion!"

The intensely cold Mercury energy burst forth from Lin Zhen's palm, exploding right in front of Diana.

Ice spikes piercing through the sky and earth shattered like a giant sea urchin, creating a breathtaking scene in the air!

Translator: 549690339

This Mercury Explosion sent Diana flying high, her whole body covered in blood from the slashes of the Ice Knife, yet she was still hanging on to life.

Lin Zhen did not continue with the Mars Explosion and Saturn Explosion. Instead, with a thought, he instantly moved behind Diana and grabbed her long hair.

"This is just a little interest, Diana, see you later."

A ball of scorching flame surged from Lin Zhen's palm, instantly engulfing Diana.

One second later, Diana turned to ash.

At the same time, Lin Zhen also left the Asura Arena. His tally of victories finally increased by one, reaching 917 wins.

After waiting at the original spot for a while, when there was no response from Diana, Lin Zhen sneered and initiated the next random battle.

Finally, he could fight normally again. When he fought against the Constant Star Stages in the past, every battle was a hard-fought one. Now that he had learned Starburst, Lin Zhen began to fight quickly and decisively.

Starburst was indeed a powerful combat technique. In the absence of the Galaxy Domain, most of the Constant Star Stage could not withstand it.

The only ones with some fighting power were the Asura Warriors, but even general Silver Star Asuras were not strong enough for Lin Zhen.

His achievements began to skyrocket.

920 wins 41 losses, 935 wins 41 losses… 950 wins 41 losses…!

After reaching 950 wins, Lin Zhen mostly encountered Asura Warriors, but his fighting speed did not decrease, finishing almost one battle per minute, with the longest not exceeding five minutes.

During this period, Lin Zhen had good luck. From 950 wins to 990 wins, he only encountered one Red Star Shura and lost one battle, winning the rest.

Time continued to pass…

Diana felt a chill in her heart as Lin Zhen's achievements continued to soar.

"At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Lin Zhen reaches a thousand wins. Maybe within an hour or two, he'll advance to become a Red Star Shura, and I'll be unable to counter his star explosion techniques."

Asking again about the progress in the Ancient God City, the World Stone was still not found.

If she found the World Stone now, she would leave immediately. Unfortunately, she could not find it. Once Lin Zhen obtained the title and money and became a Lord, he would surely expel her.

Diana was unwilling. She brought a large team on the Sky City to Earth to obtain the World Stone. If she were to be driven out so shamelessly, she could not forgive herself.

What to do? Once Lin Zhen became a Lord, he would be protected by law, and the Empire would no longer favor her, even favoring him instead.

"It seems that some things need to be done in advance. I must make a decision, Lin Zhen, you forced me to do this!"

Diana contacted the Anderson family once again.

"Phew! 999 wins, 45 losses, almost there."

Lin Zhen lost two more battles, both to Red Star Shura. Taking down the next one, he would advance.

He thought that he would encounter a strong opponent in this random battle, but the god of fate favored Lin Zhen once more, and he encountered a Silver Star Shura.

Crushingly ending the battle, Lin Zhen finally completed a thousand victories.

"Ding! Congratulations, master, for completing one thousand victories in the Asura Arena and achieving a 95% win rate. You will be awarded the Red Star Shura Title."

A red star appeared on Lin Zhen's chest.

Lin Zhen exhaled and went directly to the bank without any delay.

"I want to apply for a loan."

The bank receptionist immediately attended to Lin Zhen. Due to his Red Star Shura status, he could apply for a loan of ten billion Sanjiang coins.

The bank was very efficient—verifying his identity, issuing the loan, and depositing the money took only five minutes.

Ten billion Sanjiang coins were equivalent to one trillion Tianhe coins.

Lin Zhen immediately went to the Jade Star to apply for territory.

It was the same receptionist as before, but their attitude was completely different this time.

Lin Zhen's Red Star Shura status was very noble and recognized throughout the entire Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. The people of the Tianhe Empire dared not show negligence, especially since Lin Zhen was also a Count of the Empire.

"Count Lin Zhen, your application has been successfully submitted, and we have received two hundred and fifty billion Tianhe coins. The Imperial Government Office will complete the review within twelve hours and give you a reply."

"Does it really need to take that long? Can't you approve it directly?"

"My lord Count, you are applying for a ten-million-star domain, which spans a light year in distance. Such a vast area cannot be reviewed immediately. I can assure you that we will not be negligent. There are no problems with your application, and as soon as the review is completed, we will deduct the remaining 150 billion reserve funds. At that time, your territory will be secured."

"Alright, I hope you can do it as soon as possible."

"Definitely, twelve hours is just a conservative estimate. Generally speaking, it might take seven or eight hours to complete. Once it's done, we'll call you immediately."

"Okay, I'll go back and wait."

Lin Zhen left the trial center and went to the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation through the Dimensional Universe.

He was there to purchase a Trap Web.

The price of Trap Web varied greatly. Lin Zhen finally chose one worth 150 million Sanjiang Coins.

It was almost the best one, capable of capturing Permanent Crystal Battleships.

"Please rest assured, guest. We will deliver the goods to you immediately. As you said, we will go through the wormhole and then through the parallel universe. We should be able to deliver it to your planet within five hours."

Lin Zhen nodded and left the Dimensional Universe.

Now all he could do was wait, wait for him to become a Lord, and wait for the Trap Web to arrive.

But he always felt that Diana would not sit and wait for death. Lin Zhen was well aware of the progress in Ancient God City. They had not found the World Stone for a long time, and it seemed that they wouldn't make it in time.

In any case, as soon as he got the title of Lord, Lin Zhen would immediately expel these people. If they still refused to leave, Lin Zhen could launch an attack in the name of justice.

"Whirr~~!"

The screen flickered a few times, and Diana saw Anderson Slo.

Slo was a Red Star Shura Warrior, Constant Star Level Nine, and the pride of the younger generation of the Anderson family.

Shasha, who was killed by Lin Zhen on Earth, was his sister. This time, he came here not only to complete the mission but also to avenge his sister.

Seeing Diana appear, Slo's face didn't look too good: "Miss Diana, what do you mean? Our Anderson family always keeps our promises. We will definitely complete the task and won't tarnish our honor for such a small matter. You don't have to keep urging us."

Diana waved her hand: "Mr. Slo, that's not what I meant. This time I contacted you because I want to discuss another commission task with you."

"Another task? What task? Lin Zhen's task hasn't been completed yet."

"This task is related to the previous one, both concerning Lin Zhen. If you help me this time, I will pay you an additional commission."

Diana held up five fingers: "500 million Sanjiang Coins, this is the greatest sincerity I can offer."

Slo was not alone; he had some people with him. After exchanging glances with the others, they saw excitement in each other's eyes.

500 million Sanjiang Coins was not a small sum, enough to buy a Small Asteroid System. They just didn't know what Diana was planning to do.

"Please state your request."

"I hate the people on this native planet I am on, and I need to conquer it completely. However, a Lord will soon appear on this planet. I need help, and I ask for your assistance. If these natives dare to resist, kill them all!"

"Whether the conquest is successful or everyone perishes, the task will be considered completed as long as Lin Zhen dies. That's my request."

"Can't your army do this?" Slo asked.

"No, my soldiers are all from the Tianhe Empire, and they won't dare to act once a Lord appears. I need external help."

Slo looked at Diana's distorted face and thought for a moment: "You must be a noble from the Tianhe, and the Lord you mentioned is Lin Zhen, right? Doing this would violate Tianhe's laws, and your noble status might not be guaranteed."

"Of course I know that, but I have no choice now. Lin Zhen has gone too far, and no one here welcomes me. I must take revenge even if I lose my Tianhe noble standing. As a Venus Asura, I can live a good life in any country of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation."

Diana took a deep breath: "In any case, I've offered my terms, you can consider whether to accept or not."

Slo smiled slightly: "Why not? We are not from the Tianhe Empire, and the laws of Tianhe do not bind us. If Diana is not afraid, why should we be? It's not the style of mercenaries to refuse money. 500 million Sanjiang Coins are worth even destroying this planet."

"Alright, let's settle it then. How long will it take for you to arrive?"

"About seven hours. We will be above Earth by then."

Diana nodded her head: "Then I will prepare right away, letting those useless armies leave. They will only get in the way. I only need my trusted subordinates here."

"Great, we love conquest and destruction, Miss Diana. See you on Earth later; let's have some fun on this native planet and let them know what fear is."

"See you on Earth. I'm also looking forward to that moment; I can hardly wait."

The communication ended, and Diana's face showed a cold killing intent.

"As long as I succeed this time and find the World Stone, any price I have to pay will be worth it. I don't care about that noble title of some dogshit Tianhe Empire anymore. As for these Earth people who stand in my way and Lin Zhen, you all can go to hell!"

Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Migration of People of Earth

Translator: 549690339

That day was the winter of the 998th year in the God Transformation Calendar.

It was just one week before the New Year, but today, a significant event took place.

Countess Diana from the Tianhe Empire announced the commencement of star migration.

Lately, the Tianhe Army had also granted numerous poor citizen identities on Earth.

Thanks to Lin Zhen's distribution of identities, Diana had to grant some identities as well to appease her occupied territories after Lin Zhen issued tens of thousands of identities.

The propaganda during this period allowed the people of Earth to accept the outside world, knowing that beyond Earth, there was an endless sea of stars filled with countless wonders.

Many people yearned for the world outside.

And now, Diana announced the migration to other planets.

All television programs and the internet were broadcasting Diana's speech.

"All people of Earth, in this time, you should have recognized your identities. You are part of the Tianhe Empire. The planet beneath your feet, as well as the boundless space outside, and all the places that you can see and even telescopes can see, are the territory of the Tianhe Empire."

"Beyond Earth, there are endless worlds. Now, some of my troops will return, and I call on all the people of Earth to choose to follow the army and leave unconditionally, regardless of whether they have previously obtained citizen identity, poor identity, or no identity."

"My army will depart from capital Base Cities in various countries, and there are only three hours left until takeoff. Those who wish to leave, please arrive at the capital and board the spacecraft within those three hours. They will take you to the new world."

"There is nothing left to care about on this planet. I wish you good luck on your interstellar journey!"

Diana's speech ended, yet it set off tremendous waves on Earth.

Can we finally leave Earth!?

At this moment, Earth was boiling. Countless people wanted to venture into the sea of stars, but many were also reluctant to leave their homeland. It presented a polarized situation.

Many people took to their flying vehicles with reckless abandon, leaving their homes and heading to the capital.

Although there were still many mutated beasts on the way, they could not stop people's enthusiasm for the new world.

They had seen the propaganda about the new world for a long time. There were no mutated beasts or dangers, only a happy life and an endless, beautiful dimensional universe to enjoy.

With such a beautiful place, why would anyone want to stay on a dangerous Earth?

Just as people were frantic about leaving their homes, Lin Zhen stepped forward and spoke.

"Fellow Earthlings, I am Lin Zhen, currently a Count of the Tianhe Empire. In the near future, I will become the Lord of this starscape, and the area within one light-year will be my territory. You can go wherever you want, just like tourism."

"The promise provided by Diana cannot be trusted. Without power, none of you will be accepted, frankly, not even worthy of being a slave. Here I advise you all to stay calm and patient. Those who are willing to follow me, I will give them a bright future."

Lin Zhen's words were like pouring a bucket of cold water on the feverish people.

Lin Zhen did not disclose much information in his speech, just stating that he would become a Lord and hoped that people would stay.

Diana's troops were about to leave, leaving two choices in front of the people: trust Diana or trust Lin Zhen.

It can be said that most Earthlings were more willing to believe Lin Zhen.

Especially in Hua Xia, after Lin Zhen spoke, the Hua Xia government immediately issued a statement asking all citizens to remain calm. They didn't need to do anything; happiness would come as long as they waited patiently.

Now, many of the Hua Xia officials had been given citizen identities through Lin Zhen.

They accepted those identities and had to follow Lin Zhen's lead in many matters since maintaining the independence of individual countries on Earth wasn't possible anymore in this interstellar age.

People in Hua Xia calmed down. Aside from some extremists, the vast majority chose to wait.

Above Capital Base City, countless spaceships prepared to leave. But only a few tens of thousands of Hua Xia people chose to leave among the billions, which amounted to a drop in the bucket.

Compared to Hua Xia, not many people from the African Union and Brazil left either. They maintained friendly relations with Hua Xia and responded to Lin Zhen and Hua Xia's call, and not many left.

Recently, the European Union had become closer to Hua Xia. Although the number of people leaving was not small, it did not affect the overall situation.

In the United States, surprisingly few people left.

The massacre caused by Sky City in the United States led to the complete annihilation of the country's top officials. They had a sense of rejection towards the Tianhe Army, so not many people left this time.

Only Sand Russia and India, these two countries' top officials openly refuted Hua Xia and Lin Zhen, claiming they harbored malicious intentions and wanted to persecute the Earth's people's future.

During Lin Zhen's identity distribution, the two countries received the least amount, and they were simply jealous of Lin Zhen without considering the reason for his actions.

They couldn't defeat Lin Zhen, but they could at least leave, right?

They responded greatly to Diana's call, and even under the leadership of higher-ups, a nationwide exodus began.

Countless people flooded towards New Delhi Base City and Moscow Base City.

People were packed like sardines!

Only such words could describe the situation in these two base cities, with over a hundred million people gathering in Moscow and over three hundred million in New Delhi Base City.

The explosive scene was somewhat out of control, and even incidents of stampeding and killing occurred multiple times.

Because the spaceships about to depart here obviously couldn't accommodate so many people, in order to compete for front row seats, the former compatriots even resorted to fighting each other with lethal weapons.

"Lin Zhen, what kind of outcome do you think they'll get?" At the control desk of the Black Pearl, Su Mingyue and An Ning stood beside Lin Zhen, and An Ning asked.

"Do I need to say it? Those who leave will definitely not survive. These people have no value in the galaxy, just like I said, they're not even qualified to be slaves. I guess Diana's people will kill them all in the starry space. They can only become cosmic dust."

Su Mingyue covered her small mouth in surprise and said, "Why didn't you stop them? If you'd been more specific with them, maybe many lives would have been saved."

Lin Zhen rubbed Su Mingyue's head: "Yue'er, you are very kind, but didn't I say it? They didn't believe me. Just look at Hua Xia and the other countries, many people have already stayed. I gave them the opportunity, but they still chose to leave. This is called seeking their own doom."

"Yeah, Yue'er, don't worry about these people. They all oppose Lin Zhen. Keeping them would be a source of instability. If they want to die, why should we worry about them?"

Su Mingyue inherently didn't want to see too many people die, but when she heard that these people were against Lin Zhen, her attitude changed immediately.

Although she was kind, things became different when it came to Lin Zhen. Her man was still more important.

"Well, I won't care about people who don't like Lin Zhen."

Lin Zhen couldn't help but smile at Su Mingyue's little appearance, gently hugging them both in his arms. As long as their loved ones were still there, it was enough.

Among the crowds at the two base cities, the advantages of the Martial Artists were apparent.

Some Warriors and War Generals stepped over people's heads and charged towards the spaceships.

Tianhe Empire's warriors who received the withdrawal orders guarded the order of the exits, too many undisciplined people had already fallen at their feet.

Even Martial Artists had to follow the rules here and enter the spaceship in an orderly manner.

Their entrance was the lower cabins of each spaceship, and the dark, gloomy environment was very poor.

Many people got injured on their way, some were injured by Mutated Beasts, and some even had broken bones.

They were sweating in pain, but their faces were still full of hope and excitement.

People were packed like sardines, and the smell of sweat and even the more unbearable smell of excrement came into the air, but no one cared. This problem was nothing compared to leaving Earth.

People enthusiastically discussed what kind of beautiful planet they would go to and that they might find some extraterrestrial spouses and start a completely new life.

Outside the spaceship, the departure time in three hours got closer and closer.

When it was two hours and fifty minutes away, people on the spaceship were informed that the cabin would be closed in ten minutes, and all those who had received the order to return would have to leave.

Meanwhile, in the square, countless people were still there, and when they heard that the spaceship was leaving, the order that was maintained moments ago suddenly turned into chaos.

People behind madly surged forward, and those in front were helpless, either trampled to death or pushed towards the cabin.

The guarding soldiers didn't care about this. As soon as someone rushed in, their butcher knives would be raised high and swung fiercely!

And at this moment, the muzzles on the spaceship opened, and bursts of bullets and energy beams swept into the frenzied crowd, stirring up a bloody storm.

People fell like harvested wheat in large numbers, and blood flowed like rivers!

The frenzied crowd was deterred and finally dared not to assault the spaceship anymore.

When the departure time came, the packed spaceship finally lifted off the ground.

Those people from Earth, watching the ground slowly recede, waved frantically, crying and laughing, in front of the small windows of the cabin.

Compared to those who couldn't squeeze onto the spaceship, they were fortunate. They were finally leaving, going to pursue a new life. Goodbye, Earth!

Goodbye, that hateful Lin Zhen!

Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Lord of the Sun

Translator: 549690339

People in the square watched in agony as the spaceship soared away. They came here but couldn't get on the ship, watching others leave. This feeling was worse than death itself.

According to statistics, this exodus took away about 200 million people of Earth.

Meanwhile, tens of millions died in the massacre, at the hands of their fellow men, and in the stampede!

Those who left thought they were heading to a new world, not knowing what kind of fate awaited them.

"Count, we have left Earth's orbit and set our course for the Demon Moon Star in Taurus. Do you have any instructions?"

"Those Earth slaves can be dealt with now." Diana notified the departing commander.

"Yes, sir, we'll deal with them right away."

"Hmm, the situation on Earth is unsafe. I'm worried that Lin Zhen will track you down using your radio waves. After leaving, shut down all spaceship communication and all Dimensional Universe communication. Maintain flight speed, and resume communication after passing through the Demon Moon Star Wormhole."

"Understood!"

After the communication was shut down, the commander waved to his subordinates: "Open the bottom hatch, let those Earthlings experience the feeling of wandering through the universe."

"But, sir, that's a vacuum!"

"Stop talking, this is an order."

At the control panel, a soldier pushed the lever, and the bottom of the spaceship opened.

Over ten million Indians were crammed into the cabin of the spaceship. Just five minutes ago, they were yelling for the Tianhe Empire's soldiers to provide them food, water, bedding, and clothing.

They demanded human rights, and some of them, with a bit of wealth, demanded separate rooms and even tried to bribe.

Their demands were not met and could only be met with beatings and even massacres by the soldiers.

At this point, they realized that this journey was not as wonderful as they had imagined, and these people did not treat them as human beings at all.

It wasn't until the spaceship's cabin opened that all of them were thrown out.

Being thrown out into space was even worse than falling from the sky because there was no atmosphere here!

Tens of millions of people struggled in space, unable to breathe, their mouths gaping wide, trying to sustain life but utterly unable to do so.

Only when death ruthlessly arrived did they understand how right Lin Zhen had been.

But who could they blame? They didn't believe Lin Zhen and voluntarily left Earth, and this outcome was their own making.

Some Martial Artists could use internal breath, but in space, that was useless. Those who hadn't reached the Star Realm could not fly in space, and internal breath could not support them for long. In the end, they could only face organ failure and await death step by step.

"Master, someone is trying to reach you in the Dimensional Universe. The Trap Web has been sent."

Lin Zhen entered the Dimensional Universe, determined the other party's location, and immediately had the Black Pearl take off to liaise with them.

This Trap Web, worth 150 million Sanjiang coins, was mainly prized for its durability.

To capture a Perpetual Crystal at sub-light speed, it must be caught while moving slowly. It is impossible to catch at light speed and even at sub-light speed.

Lin Zhen had long chosen the area for capture—the wormhole entrance of the Demon Moon Star in Taurus. When it arrived there, the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship had to leave the parallel universe and slowly enter, which was the best time for capture.

Surrounded by shouting pirates, the Black Pearl also had a trap web. But compared to this alloy web, it was only for fishing.

"Store the goods; we might be able to use it soon."

Lin Zhen was waiting, waiting for the arrival of the Anderson family's assassins.

But he felt that there was a deeper meaning behind Diana's big action today. Why did she want most of the Tianhe Army to return?

This was the time when the assassins arrived, and Diana was the one who hired the assassins. What was she trying to do?

Currently staying on Earth, besides Sky City, there was also a war fortress, commanded by Ya Xuan.

Ya Xuan had escaped Lin Zhen's Soul Lock control, and Lin Zhen knew that it was because he had taken a drug. After taking this drug, Lin Zhen's Diamond Peak Soul Lock was ineffective on Ya Xuan.

In other words, Ya Xuan was the person Diana trusted most.

Dismissing most of the army but leaving her confidant, at a time when an assassin was about to arrive and she was about to become a lord, could it be that Diana wanted to fight to the death?

"This woman might be driven to desperate measures, so I must be cautious." Lin Zhen frowned slightly, thinking about what he should do if the situation got out of control.

He had been reborn to change the fate of Earthlings and couldn't fail at this point.

As time passed one second at a time, some events on Earth were changing quietly.

By the afternoon, Lin Zhen finally received what he had long been expecting.

His dominion had arrived!

Inside the Dimensional Universe, the Empire's Minister of the Interior announced Lin Zhen's territory.

Centered on the sun, the area within an radius of one light-year above and below officially became Lin Zhen's domain.

Within this range, all life planets, resource planets, celestial bodies including wormholes, etc., belonged to Lin Zhen privately.

Of course, Lin Zhen also had the responsibility to explore and develop these places. Although the entire Milky Way belonged to the Tianhe Empire, the Empire did not have such a great energy to explore such a starry sky with a diameter of over 100,000 light-years, it still relied on the power of each Lord.

This piece of starry sky was also named, called the Sun Territory, and he was the first Lord.

After the order was issued, Lin Zhen broadcasted to the world.

"My fellow Earth people, I now declare to you that I, Lin Zhen, have officially become the Lord of the Tianhe Empire's Sun Territory, with jurisdiction over an area with a diameter of one light-year centered on the sun. From now on, this territory belongs to me."

"Some of you may have opinions on the future management of the territory, but that is all in the future now. I want to exercise my rights as a Lord and issue my first command!"

People in the streets and alleys of Earth were watching Lin Zhen, holding their breath, as if they already sensed what was to come.

Lin Zhen's rise had been witnessed by all people of Earth, and it could be said that he had never been an easy person to deal with. Now that he had become a Lord, he would certainly not sit back and watch Diana and others.

Maybe the good times for Earth were really about to come, and they were glad that they had stayed behind.

As expected, Lin Zhen showed his Lord's appointment letter next, and then said to the camera, "All of you who have entered my territory, listen up. I, Lin Zhen, the Lord of the Sun Territory, do not welcome you. Get out of my territory immediately! Every plant and tree on this planet is mine, every speck of dust in this starry sky belongs to me. Nothing belongs to you, except for those who wish to go with you!"

"I give you ten minutes to leave Earth! If you still dare to linger here after ten minutes, don't blame me for being rude!"

After Lin Zhen's impassioned speech, cheers erupted all over Hua Xia.

Those foreign troops were finally going to be kicked out, and Earth, as a small planet, finally found a place in the interstellar world.

With a Count as a Lord, the future of the Sun Territory would certainly not be mediocre.

Following Lin Zhen's speech, people saw the speech of an extraterrestrial civilization for the first time.

The Empire's Minister of the Interior also gave a speech in the Dimensional Universe, expressing support for Lin Zhen and ordering the Tianhe Empire's army to leave Earth immediately.

The Minister of the Interior's speech was simple: "Countess Diana, now that Earth has a master, Count Lin Zhen has become a Lord, you must leave immediately with your army within the time specified by Count Lin Zhen. Otherwise, you will be considered trespassing on private property."

The Minister of the Interior also looked like a human and had little difference from the people of Earth, probably just a little fatter and looking quite amiable. His speech also gained strong support from the people of Earth.

People believed that this time, Diana and her allies would be forced to retreat completely. After all, they had already left in waves just a few hours ago, and the rest should be leaving quickly.

However, just when people thought that the dust had settled, things took a sharp turn.

Diana appeared again on the Internet and television with a cold, gloomy face, staring intently at the camera with a somber tone.

"Lin Zhen! Don't think that you can just drive me away now that you've become a lord. I won't leave like that!"

"All you Earthlings, I've given you a chance, but you obstinately stand with Lin Zhen. You were my enemies. Since you're enemies, you should be eliminated."

"Listen well. I'll give you ten minutes to decide whether to submit to me or resist me. After ten minutes, if I don't get the answers I need, I'll level this planet, starting with Hua Xia!"

Crackle~~!

As the radio wave flickered, the Empire's Minister of the Interior appeared on the screen, facing Diana directly.

"Diana! Are you crazy? How dare you disobey the Empire's orders? Are you trying to rebel!"

Although Diana was an Asura Warrior, Lin Zhen was also a Red Star Shura, and he had paid the money. The Empire naturally should support Lin Zhen. As the Minister of the Interior, it was his duty to intervene.

It was thought that Diana would repent, but to everyone's surprise, she sneered and spat out viciously.

"Pah! Don't pretend in front of me! Just because I am an Empire Countess, you think you can boss me around? Let me tell you, I don't care about it anymore!"

With that, Diana did a shocking thing.

She tore off the Countess's insignia on her body, trampled it under her feet, and pointed at the Minister of the Interior: "Get out! I quit the Tianhe Empire today. The Earth has no other way to go except to be conquered or destroyed by me. If you're not convinced, send your troops to attack me!"

The Minister of the Interior was trembling with anger. He immediately issued orders to the troops that had followed Diana, but all of those troops had lost contact, and both spaceship communication and the Dimensional Universe were shut down.

Diana sneered coldly: "I'm prepared for your tricks since I dared to rebel against the Empire. Now disappear from my sight, you're not qualified to boss me around anymore!"

With that, she cut off communication with the Minister of the Interior, and showed a fierce smile on the big screen: "Lin Zhen, I'm coming!"

Sky City took off from the air over North America, carrying with it the atmosphere, crossing the Pacific Ocean, and looming over Hua Xia like an eclipse!

Lin Zhen finished watching Diana's performance and let out a gentle sigh.

"As expected, Diana took this step. This woman is decisive enough to abandon her identity as Empire Earl and even confront the Empire head-on."

Next to Lin Zhen, the Archangel said, "Master, is she not afraid of being enemies with the Tianhe Empire? Although she is a Venus Asura, she shouldn't be able to withstand the empire if they're serious."

"Of course she can't withstand it. However, she is cunning, sending back all the soldiers who obey the empire's orders and commanding them to close communication. Now these soldiers cannot receive the empire's orders, and those who remain are her absolute confidants, she can naturally do whatever she wants."

"Even if the empire wants to send new troops to deal with her, it will take nearly three years to get here. By that time, she will be long gone."

Jason asked Lin Zhen, "What do we do now?"

"What can we do? Fight them when they come, cover up when they do. It's time to fight them."

Lin Zhen turned around and said to the pirates who had already prepared behind him, "Brothers, haven't you been eager to fight all day? Now the opportunity has come. Diana's Sky City is coming from North America, and the Tianhe Empire soldiers on it are now traitors. We won't bear any consequences for killing them. Do you dare to do it?"

"Awesome! I've been waiting for this day!"

"Master, give the order. We've long had a grudge against these Tianhe soldiers."

"That's right, when they caught us, we thought we had no chance to retaliate. We didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon!"

The pirates were making a racket, all of them incredibly passionate.

Their lives were spent licking blood off their knives. They used to be relentlessly hunted by the Tianhe Empire's troops. Now they finally have a legitimate opportunity to fight back, and they couldn't wait.

"Don't be so excited; there will definitely be opportunities."

Lin Zhen smiled and then connected to the top of Hua Xia, "Have all the personnel at Capital Base City been transferred?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin Zhen. Following your instructions, we have urgently transferred everyone to the underground project within a few hours."

"That's good. Don't come out until you're notified."

Lin Zhen cut off the communication and closed his eyes to think for a moment.

Diana lost to him in the Asura Arena, but she still dared to come over, which meant that she got help from someone else.

As for who the reinforcements were, it was obvious: the Anderson family members.

Lin Zhen didn't know how strong the Anderson family was, but no matter how strong they were, he didn't have a second choice now.

"Everyone, get ready. The enemy only has two large warships, one Sky City, and one War Fortress. Currently, the War Fortress is still at Ancient God City. As long as we take down Sky City, we win this battle."

As soon as Lin Zhen finished speaking, Ronnie at the control panel of the Black Pearl said, "Master, the War Fortress at Ancient God City has been activated and is rapidly returning. It is expected to arrive at the same time as Sky City."

The pirates nearby clenched their faces. The Black Pearl's technology was good, but it had no advantage against Sky City. With the addition of a War Fortress designed for air warfare, the battle situation was worrying.

Lin Zhen thought for a moment, "We still have to fight. We must take down Sky City. Diana's attempt to conquer the world relies on this large warship. If she loses Sky City, she will have to play a solo game."

On the radar screen, two lights rapidly approached from the Pacific Ocean and the Middle East Area, and about ten minutes later, they were both above Capital Base City.

"Here they come! Everyone, get ready for battle!"

The protective shields of the Black Pearl were activated, and all firepower was in firing mode.

"No need to wait, attack! Target: Sky City!"

Lin Zhen pointed to the distance, where a dark line appeared on the horizon – the soaring city in the air.

The Black Pearl was also a warship that could carry tens of thousands of people, but compared to Sky City, it was truly miniature; that warship could carry hundreds of millions of people.

Facing such a behemoth, the Black Pearl's biggest advantage was its agility.

It activated its protective shield and charged at five times the speed of sound, while at the same time, the missiles on the warship began to fire.

"Get closer! As long as we're near, we can instantly teleport onto Sky City and infiltrate it to cause damage!" Archangel Jason shouted excitedly.

Seeing Lin Zhen's warship flying towards her, Diana sneered, "Activate the protective shield and see if you can break it."

A yellow hazy light shield appeared above Sky City. This light shield could not only block attacks but also prevent Martial Artists from teleporting. Unless the protective shield was broken, no one could infiltrate Sky City.

And the defensive strength of this light shield could withstand the full attack of a Star System Stage Expert!

Missiles from the Black Pearl hit the protective shield, igniting bursts of flames, but they failed to break the shield, only slightly changing its color.

"Master, we can't break it. As long as they have energy block reserves and our attack doesn't exceed their defense threshold, Sky City's shield is invincible," said Ronnie.

Lin Zhen looked at Ronnie, "Can't it be broken by even Black Pearl's strongest firepower?"

"No, although they can't break our protective shield either, our warship is smaller, and we don't have as many energy blocks in reserve. In the long run, we'll still lose. Unless…".

"Unless what?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Unless our warship burns up its energy block reserves and then flies at the fastest speed to collide with them. This way, we can reach nearly a hundred times the speed of sound, and the impact force will be comparable to that of an asteroid, which can then break the Sky City's shield."

Before Lin Zhen could answer, the War Fortress was rapidly approaching on the radar screen behind him.

The Black Pearl found itself caught in a pincer attack.

"Master, it's bad. The War Fortress is coming. If they launch a pincer attack, we'll be in great danger."

As Ronnie had just warned, Diana's voice echoed through the sky from Sky City.

"Hahaha, Lin Zhen! You're out of options now. Let this old lady send you on your way!"

"Fire! Block the space above, below, left, and right of the Black Pearl, leaving them nowhere to hide!"

Sky City finally opened fire, and countless weapons spewed tongues of flame or energy light columns, covering the area around the Black Pearl.

Meanwhile, the War Fortress behind them was also accelerating and quickly opening fire.

With enemies on both sides, the Black Pearl's only way out was to head towards Sky City.

"It's bad. Diana is forcing us to collide with their airship. If we collide, we may break through the energy shield, but our airship will be destroyed, and we'll all die."

"Accelerate and ram through!"

Lin Zhen resolutely gave the order.

The surrounding pirates were shocked, but Lin Zhen was their master, and they had to obey him absolutely.

Besides, Lin Zhen's family was on the airship, so he couldn't possibly choose suicide.

The Black Pearl began to accelerate, burning through its energy block reserves.

As if a passage was born in the air, the Black Pearl charged towards Sky City like a madman.

Missiles flew past, and the Black Pearl's protective shield erupted in flames.

What people somewhat overlooked was that, despite the Black Pearl's accelerated flight, the War Fortress still pursued closely without being shaken off!

Diana looked at the fast-approaching Black Pearl and sneered, "Lin Zhen, your Black Pearl is finished. I hope you can survive this. Otherwise, my five hundred million cash will be wasted."

"Master, we'll collide in five seconds!" Ronnie said to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen's face was calm as he watched the rapidly approaching Sky City.

They were surrounded by energy columns, but none of them hit the Black Pearl – all in order to force them to collide.

Turning now meant certain destruction from powerful missiles, and they still wouldn't break through Sky City's shield.

"Fly upwards in three seconds!"

As Lin Zhen left this sentence, he was already on the airship. He raised his hand, and a planet appeared, directly facing the incoming missiles!

"Boom!"

The explosion's massive shockwave hit, and Lin Zhen had already returned to the airship. At the same time, the Black Pearl quickly gained altitude!

Whoosh~~~~!!!

A flash of light swept by, and the Black Pearl flew out from above Sky City.

"They got away!"

Diana was stunned. Lin Zhen actually refused to collide. Didn't he know that as long as Sky City's shield wasn't broken, she, Diana, was invincible?

The Black Pearl could hide, but could everyone else in the world?

"You ran away, so I'll destroy this world!" Diana gritted her teeth and cut off.

"Miss Diana, it's not good. Look at that!"

Diana turned her head sharply and saw, on the big screen, no… it wasn't necessary to look at the big screen anymore. Through the glass of the control panel, she could see that the War Fortress outside was accelerating and charging towards them!

"What… Ya Xuan, this bastard must be crazy! How could he let the War Fortress collide with us!"

"Quick! Intercept and destroy them!" Diana roared hoarsely.

"It's too late. They're going to collide! Oh…no!"

As the people inside the airship screamed, the War Fortress, while burning its energy reserves, slammed straight into Sky City's protective shield!

Boom~~~~!!!

The sky and the earth trembled at this moment. Sky City's unbreakable shield collapsed under the full force of the War Fortress's impact.

The War Fortress caught fire and exploded, scattering debris everywhere. But Sky City's life-sustaining shield was gone. Although it could still be repaired, it was now impossible to do so immediately, and they were now exposed to the Black Pearl's guns.

Watching the incredible scene unfolding below, the pirates were all dumbfounded.

"My god! What's going on? Why did the War Fortress follow and crash into Sky City?"

"Could the commander of the War Fortress have gone mad?"

"No way it's that coincidental, I bet it has something to do with our boss."

At this moment, Lin Zhen also showed a hint of a smile, "Why do you guys care so much? It's time for us to strike back now, right?"

"Yeah, without the protective shield, our ship's firepower is enough to bring down that giant!"

The Black Pearl gradually slowed down, circling in the air, and prepared for another attack.

Above Sky City, Diana's face was pale.

She had already figured it out by now. Undoubtedly, Ya Xuan had been manipulated again, her soul once more controlled by Lin Zhen's mysterious method.

Taking advantage of the cover given by the Black Pearl, they closely followed behind, striking with a devastating blow while Sky City's attention was completely focused on the Black Pearl.

Even if someone noticed the War Fortress, they would instinctively think it was chasing the Black Pearl, not realizing it was actually the real killer.

What a meticulous and crafty plan indeed.

"Damn Lin Zhen, he must've advanced in Spiritual Power. Diamond Peak, and yet he could still advance… playing such a sinister move…."

Diana's teeth ground together, longing to devour Lin Zhen. But at this moment, she couldn't confront Lin Zhen directly. Sky City couldn't be damaged as it was her lifeline, and it absolutely couldn't be harmed during the confrontation with the Black Pearl.

She immediately called through the console: "Mr. Anderson, it's time for you to perform."

"Got it, I can't wait any longer."

Anderson agreed and cut the connection, then appeared on Lin Zhen's Black Pearl screen.

"Lin Zhen, stop your ship's attack immediately, or I won't mind shattering your protective shield. Disputes between Martial Artists should be resolved through Martial Artists."

When the Black Pearl saw the screen, Ronnie couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh my god! It's a light-speed ship, a Permanent Crystal Battleship! How could that thing appear here, they're in outer space, so close to us!"

"Master, be careful. They can launch a light speed ray attack, which we won't be able to evade. That ray can definitely break our ship's shield."

"What are they waiting for then?"

"They wouldn't dare to fire easily. Such light speed rays require a massive amount of energy to burn, and energy is life for a light-speed ship. Especially this kind of non-pure combat light-speed ship, once they fire, it won't be easy for them to return."

Lin Zhen looked at Anderson on the screen and smiled: "Fine, since you say Martial Artists should solve it, let's hear your method."

"Smart. In that case, let's all leave our ships and settle this battle in person. As for the location… the square in the middle of Capital Base City."

"Alright, then y'all leave your ships, and Diana's people must also leave Sky City."

"No problem, we'll leave first to show our sincerity. But don't try any tricks. Our ships have automatic programs, and if you try to attack us with your ship, it'll retaliate."

After saying this, Anderson led his subordinates out of the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship, passing through the atmosphere at an extremely fast speed, heading toward Capital Base City.

Diana also received the notification and let her subordinates leave Sky City, nearly four thousand people in total.

Sky City finally landed, just outside Capital Base City.

"We should also land and dock the Black Pearl."

Lin Zhen didn't want to play tricks on this issue, as he couldn't afford any loss on the Black Pearl, which he also planned to use for capturing the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship.

Several ships landed one after another, and forces from all three sides gathered at the Capital Base City square.

After these people landed, their situation once again attracted the world's attention.

Not only the world, but once the people of Earth had their identity chips, they could broadcast the situation here to the external world through the Dimensional Universe.

Therefore, not a small number of people from the outside world were paying attention to this battle on Earth. As long as you could find videos posted by people on Earth in the cosmic network, you could watch.

There were nearly four thousand people on Diana's side. Apart from Diana herself being a Five-level Constant Star, the rest were mostly between Comet Stage and Planet Stage. Those with weaker strength could not possibly become her confidants.

Just these people alone would be difficult for Lin Zhen and his group to deal with, especially since there were only a thousand people on Lin Zhen's Black Pearl.

However, compared to Diana's people, the Anderson family was even more troublesome.

After leaving the Permanent Crystal Spaceship, Anderson and his men passed through the atmosphere like a swarm of meteors, hurtling towards the ground.

Boom, boom, boom~~~~!!!

Every one of them had an imposing air as they came down, and when they stood still, the people on Lin Zhen's side gasped in shock.

Anderson, who stood in the center, wore a fiery red robe, with long red hair, and the mark of a three-star Asura on his chest, making him stand out among the crowd.

Even his eyes were red, making him look extremely terrifying.

Constant Star Level Nine! He had actually reached Constant Star Level Nine!

This level of strength was definitely among the top-tier people in the Tianhe Empire, a beginner-level Universe Country.

Apart from him, his team also had two Constant Star Level 3 and twelve Planet Ninth-level members.

On Lin Zhen's side, among the pirates, Archangel Jason was the only Constant Star, then Stephen and Ronnie both were Planet Ninth-level, and Shac was Planet Eighth-level.

The overall strength of their group was far inferior to the opponents, let alone Diana was a Five-level Constant Star herself.

This battle would not be easy to fight.

Some of the pirates under Lin Zhen hesitated in their steps. Despite not betraying Lin Zhen, facing such a mighty enemy instinctively made them feel fearful.

It was hard to expect these pirates to instantly become heroes when faced with such powerful enemies who could bring death at any moment.

Diana showed a thick hatred on her face when she saw Lin Zhen come out and slowly walked to the front of the team.

"Lin Zhen, we finally meet again. Let's settle our new and old grudges together this time," she said.

Lin Zhen looked at Diana disdainfully: "We sure should settle this, but do you, a defeated general, have any qualifications to speak? It seems like you're not qualified enough to be today's protagonist."

Diana was an extremely proud and arrogant person; she had never been insulted like this before. She immediately got angry: "Lin Zhen, don't be arrogant. Today is the day Earth will be destroyed, and your arrogance won't last long!"

With that, she pointed back at Anderson: "This gentleman is a Level 9 Constant Star. He alone is enough to sweep through Earth, not to mention that I'm here, as well as thousands of at least Comet Stage experts. O' people on Lin Zhen's side, the game is over for you!"

At this time, Anderson also took a step forward. His entire body was dressed in a red robe and looked like a moving ball of flame. With every step, it seemed as if a wave of scorching heat swept over, making the pirates on Lin Zhen's side involuntarily back away a few steps.

But in reality, the temperature around them hadn't changed at all. This was just a psychological illusion people had when facing a formidable opponent.

Lin Zhen took a step forward, unfazed by Anderson's momentum: "Mr. Anderson, would you like to get involved in this muddy water here?"

"Lin Zhen, don't try to shake my resolve with your childish words. It's pointless," Anderson retorted.

Anderson shook his finger: "Firstly, I want to congratulate you because you've become a Lord who controls a domain spanning a light-year. For a Satellite Stage person, this is quite an achievement."

"However, I feel sad for you because your journey as a Lord will soon come to an end. You'll face death as soon as you become a Lord. I guess you might be the shortest-lived Lord in history, right? Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Anderson and Diana's men all laughed heartily, while the faces of the pirates behind Lin Zhen became ugly.

Despite Anderson's harsh words, no one doubted him, acknowledging the strength on the other side.

Seeing Lin Zhen's side lose their morale, Diana became even more smug: "How does it feel, Lin Zhen? The moment you become a Lord, it's already over. What did you pursue it for? You've gone to great lengths to gain control of this planet, but does anyone truly care about you? Now, in this situation, you're still fighting alone. It's so pathetic!"

Anderson sneered as he revealed a hint of mockery: "Defending Earth… how ridiculous!"

Lin Zhen took a deep breath; this battle was too difficult, as the overall strength of the enemy far exceeded his own side.

But he had no choice but to fight, ready to face the enemy.

Just as he was preparing to fight, a loud shout suddenly came from behind: "Since it's a battle to defend Earth, as people of Earth, we have a responsibility to not let our Lord fight alone. Right, everyone?"

"Yes~~~!!!"

The voices were loud and clear, reaching the heavens!

Lin Zhen looked back and saw a large group of people coming out of an underground facility.

An Bihuai, Qing Xu, Chen Fenglie, Luo Yun, Dongfang Jun, as well as those who Lin Zhen knew, was familiar with, had seen, or hadn't seen. As long as their realms had reached the Meteor Stage and above, everyone emerged from the underground facility.

These people moved quickly, walking at first and flying later. In just a few minutes, more than a hundred people had joined the crowd in the plaza.

"Lord, we know our strength isn't strong enough, but let's fight alongside you to defend Earth!" Chen Fenglie, who was walking at the front, said loudly, confirming Lin Zhen's lordship.

"Yes, Earth is our common home; it doesn't make sense for just you, Lord, to fight alone. We're all in the same boat, so we should share both honor and disgrace," An Bihuai also said loudly.

"That's right! Diana said she was going to destroy us completely. If we hide, we'll just be waiting for death. We won't back down. Lord, let us join the battle!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The martial artists of Hua Xia were resounding, their spirits soaring!

Although their strength wasn't powerful enough, they refused to be enslaved and would either win or die in this battle. There would be no second outcome!

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: The Counterattack of Earth Begins! (Third update)

Translator: 549690339

Looking around at this group of passionate martial artists, Lin Zhen felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

In the previous life, almost none of these people were still alive, all of them died in the battle to defend their homes.

But in this life, all of them were still alive.

This was the result of Lin Zhen's hard work, countless sacrifices, scheming, and planning, only then he could reach this point.

However, this was the crucial moment, if they won, only then would everything truly change. If they lost, then what was the difference between their current predicaments and their previous life? There was merely the difference between dying a few days earlier or later.

But Lin Zhen had no way to ask them to retreat, just as they had said, how long can they hide if Lin Zhen lost?

In the battle to defend your homeland, everyone should do their part, especially as these martial artists had never wanted to hide under someone else's wing and scrape by.

"Fine! We will fight side by side!"

This will be the final battle that determines the fate of Hua Xia. Almost all of the elites of Hua Xia are gathered here.

Diana looked at these people stepping forward, a trace of mock showing on her face: "Is it useful? You want to confront us just because you got an extra hundred and eighty people? I think you must be crazy."

"Who said we only have eight hundred and ten people? We also have martial artists from the European Union!"

In the distance, a group of people rapidly broke through the air and came to Lin Zhen's side.

Lin Zhen turned his head to see, it was actually Baggio leading a large group of European Union martial artists their way.

About seventy or eighty people came from the European Union, like Hua Xia, all of whom had reached the Meteor Stage. There was no use for anyone with a lower level of strength.

Many of them Lin Zhen had never even seen, but they all seemed very old, including those from Hua Xia, many of them must be several hundred years old.

Without a doubt, these people were high-level martial artists who had been hiding in various places on Earth over the years. These people never participate in any disputes and focus on cultivating, but today they all came out.

For the survival of Earth, they all stood up.

Diana's face slightly changed, "Just a few more people, it's nothing more than having my sword stain a bit more blood."

"Really? What if we add our fighters from the African Union?"

"And add our fighters from Brazil!"

Two more groups arrived, these people were all on good terms with Hua Xia, the fighters of the two countries were all dispatched, adding up to a hundred people.

These people gathered next to Lin Zhen, obviously they decided to follow Lin Zhen's lead.

Looking at Lin Zhen's increasingly powerful team, Diana snorted coldly, "That's all you got, right? The other three countries don't have good relations with you."

"You're wrong! Diana, to deal with a demon like you, we, the people of the United States, are willing to stand on the side of Lin Zhen!"

The Ice Snow Emperor of the United States led a group of American martial artists and rushed over.

Following them closely were people from Sand Russia and India.

The Ice Snow Emperor of the United States pointed at Diana, "You idiot woman, trying to conquer Earth, we people of several countries indeed don't like Lin Zhen very much, but there is one thing you should never forget, at least Lin Zhen is a person of earth and has never thought of harming us. I'm afraid we won't die a good death if we fall into your hands, Diana."

People from Sand Russia and India also nodded in agreement. Before long, Lin Zhen broadcasted some news through the Black Pearl, showing Diana's army abandoning the people of Earth in space to die.

The footage was taken by the high-powered telephoto camera of the Black Pearl, and looking at the death of the Earth people in space, those who still had illusions about Diana were completely disheartened.

Compared to Diana, Lin Zhen is simply an angel. Moreover, Diana has already claimed to conquer the world, thus forcing them onto a dead-end, leaving them no choice but to fight side by side with Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen's team has increased to around 1500 people, and among the team, there are even top masters at the Comet Stage and the Satellite Stage.

Among them, there are even more than a dozen people at the Planet Stage, their strength comparable to An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie. These people had survived not long after the Great Cataclysm on Earth, out of billions of people, there were always some who did not like to fight and focused on cultivation.

The combined power of these people is enough to pose a tremendous problem for Diana and her team.

It can be said that if it were not for the people from the Anderson family here, Diana would not have the courage to engage in a deadly battle with the united people of Earth.

She couldn't help but cast her gaze towards Anderson, "Mister Anderson…."

Anderson, at this moment, waved at Diana, "There's no need to worry about anything."

With that, he once again looked at Lin Zhen and slowly pulled a long weapon from behind him, a halberd!

Seeing Anderson taking out his weapon, the two Constant Star Level 3 and twelve Planet Ninth-level martial artists who followed Anderson also took out their weapons.

Diana also immediately took out her long sword, and the more than four thousand people behind Diana also drew their weapons.

The same was true for Lin Zhen's side. Although there were only more than a thousand people, they did not lack momentum at all.

Among the "clashing~" sounds, countless weapons bursting with sharp light were unsheathed, and a battle was about to start.

Anderson sneered at Lin Zhen, "Sun Lord, you seem to have forgotten one thing, between martial artists, what decides the outcome of a battle is not the number of low-level martial artists, but the strength and weakness of high-level martial artists. On your side, only you and the Angel Clan behind you are worth noting. The rest of the people can be ignored in my eyes."

"Really? Then let's see how much you've got. Don't forget, I am also a Red Star Shura." Lin Zhen held the Cliff Corner Spear, facing Anderson head on.

But Anderson waved his finger, "No, no, no! Your opponent is not me now, but Miss Diana."

Diana was taken aback, "Mister Anderson, what did you say?"

"Miss Diana, if you can hold on for three minutes, I can even add a Constant Star Level 3 assistant to help you. As long as you hold back Lin Zhen for three minutes, I will eliminate all the people of the Earth here and then come back to support you."

He had brought two individuals at Constellation Star Level 3. One of them to tie down the Archangel Jason, and the other to assist Diana in engaging Lin Zhen, clearing the path for his own plans.

Diana looked toward Lin Zhen, hate burning in her eyes. She had lost to him in the Asura Arena and indeed wished for revenge. Unfortunately, this was not the Asura Arena where one could retry; she dared not act alone.

However, with the assistance of a martial artist at Constellation Star Level 3, Diana regained her courage. If such was the case, she could give it a shot.

"Alright, Mr. Anderson, I will accomplish this!", Diana declared as she gripped her sword. The Constellation Star Level 3 martial artist approached her side.

Watching these two ready-to-fight Constellation Star warriors, Lin Zhen knew things were turning grim.

His original plan was to single-handedly defeat Anderson. Once Anderson was taken down, everything else would be easier. But, if Diana and the other Constellation Star martial artist intercepted him, the people of Earth present would be in peril.

Faced with the Red Star Shura at the Constellation Star Level Nine, they had absolutely no chance; they would undoubtedly be wiped out.

What to do?

He could only speedily eliminate Diana and that Constellation Star martial artist and hope that Anderson would not kill too many people while he was distracted.

With just these comforting words, Lin Zhen readied himself, his hands gripping the Cliff Corner Spear tightly.

Anderson sneered coldly, hoisting his halberd and pointing it at the crowd, "In three minutes, I will kill you all!"

"Attack!" Diana shouted, leading her forces into the charge.

Archangel Jason stepped forward, promptly intercepted by another Constellation Star Level 3 martial artist.

Diana herself, alongside the Constellation Star martial artist, rapidly moved towards Lin Zhen.

All the Earth's top-notch warriors, accompanied by Lin Zhen's thousand pirates, cried out in unison, their shouts echoing throughout the heavens and the earth as they faced the incoming enemy army.

Every single one of them knew that after this battle, their forces could very likely be decimated. Yet, they had no other choice. Retreat meant death, and advancing offered a glimmer of hope for survival.

Suddenly, the sky filled with rolling, dark clouds; it seemed as if a storm was about to break.

Bearing in mind that it was winter, a storm was quite unexpected.

Boom~~~!!

A bolt of lightning suddenly shot down from the sky, directly aimed at Anderson who was about to charge into the crowd.

"Who's that?"

Anderson was stunned. He swung his halberd, countering the incoming lightning bolt.

Despite his swift movement, he was still forced back by the powerful lightning bolt.

Anderson's face darkened. The enemy was ruthless and decisive. This attack caused him difficulty, signaling that the agressor was definitely a master at the Constellation Star stage!

"How is it possible that there's a Constellation Star-level expert on this tiny planet?"

Everyone was shocked by this unexpected change of events, except for Lin Zhen, whose face brightened.

He knew who it was!

The Earth's top expert who fought Diana's army in the last moment in his previous life and caused the Tianhe Empire army to be strewn with corpses before escaping, the national hero of Hua Xia, Yan Qiyue!

Sure enough, amidst the rolling black clouds, a figure descended from the sky. Holding a golden long knife like lightning, he slashed directly at Anderson.

"Crack~~!!!"

With one swing of his knife, lightning crashed down!

Constellation Star Level 4!

The renowned top expert of Earth, Yan Qiyue, who had been known for hundreds of years and was rarely seen, and had been out of sight for hundreds of years, had now appeared!

"Zing~~!!"

The golden knife collided with Anderson's halberd, and in an instant, the two were locked in combat!

After Yan Qiyue swung his blade, he bellowed at the ground: "Lin Zhen, if not now, when? Don't expect me to defeat this alien. You'll have to do some fighting too!"

"Roger that!"

Lin Zhen felt a surge of energy. Finally, someone could contain Anderson, and strong reinforcements have arrived on their side. Of course, it was time for him, Lin Zhen, to give full play to his killing prowess.

With a flick of the Cliff Corner Spear in his hand, Lin Zhen sprinted three thousand meters towards Diana and the other Constellation Star Level 3.

The sudden change left everyone a bit unprepared. Diana, and the other Constellation Star martial artist quickly braced for Lin Zhen's approach.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen teleported mid-journey, landing in the middle of the twelve Planet Ninth-level experts Anderson brought with him.

Galaxy Domain!

"Gold, wind, water, fire, earth, light, thunder! Seven Stars Burst!"

Within a second, seven planets formed in Lin Zhen's hands and immediately an intense explosion occurred within the Galaxy Domain!

Huge gusts of Energy Storm raged and engulfed the twelve Planet Ninth-level experts instantaneously!

Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Diana, Die!

Translator: 549690339

Seeing Lin Zhen kill twelve Planet Ninth-level members with a single strike, Anderson's eyes turned red.

"Diana! You two are dead or what? Just watch Lin Zhen slaughter!"

Anderson really wanted to kill Lin Zhen personally, but this Earthling who suddenly appeared in the sky was too fierce – that Gold Knife had a power that was difficult for him to handle.

Even if he wanted to attack Lin Zhen, killing the Earthling in front of him would definitely not be an easy task.

"Damn! This planet is really messed up, one Lin Zhen is not enough, there is actually another hidden BOSS. I've never heard about it before."

No matter how unwilling Anderson was, he couldn't escape from Yan Qiyue's consecutive fierce attacks. Fighting with each other, it's hard to determine a winner in a short time.

Diana and the Constant Star Stage expert finally woke up, and the two of them immediately teleported to chase after Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen didn't use Mental Shock to interrupt their teleportation. Although his current Sky Blue Spiritual Power could do it, he didn't.

After killing those twelve Planet Ninth-level members, Diana's army no longer had a significant advantage, and his subordinates and Earth's martial arts experts could resist them.

What he needed to do now was to deal with Diana and the Constant Star Stage expert. As long as he won, he could support Yan Qiyue, kill Anderson, and the battle would be over.

With the Cliff Corner Spear horizontally in his hand, Lin Zhen bravely faced the enemy.

Sea Treading!

Indomitable!

Lin Zhen took action with consecutive killing moves, fighting Diana and the other in an instant.

Apart from them and Yan Qiyue's battle, everyone else was also trapped in a fierce fight.

Jason faced the only Constant Star Stage on the other side. With the power of the Holy Flame Domain, he surprisingly gained an upper hand.

There was also Chen Fenglie, the genius martial artist who had expanded his Sword Domain. With his sword light enveloping the area, he tangled up with the two Planet Stage martial artists from the other side.

An Bihuai and Qing Xu were fighting together against three Planet Stage members.

People like Gongsun Du, Luo Yun, Dongfang Jun, Jin Qichao, and Shang Jin from Hua Xia were all experts in their field, rushing through the ranks of the enemy, creating a bloody storm.

Experts from other countries were also fighting desperately. No one held back in this battle, for they all knew that if they couldn't kill the enemy and repel them, they would be the ones to die. Underneath a nest, no egg would be left intact.

Lin Zhen's pirates were even more desperate. Facing the Tianhe Empire's soldiers, they seemed to see their enemies.

There was no need for Lin Zhen to mobilize them at all. Without the threat of opposing Constant Star Stage experts, these pirates showed their powerful combat power.

The reason why the imperial army struggled to capture pirates was that their individual combat abilities were far below that of these pirates. In a one-on-one situation, they couldn't beat these fellows used to licking blood from swords' edge.

The large scale battle was like a meat grinder; people kept falling, and more people kept rushing up. Flesh and blood became the least valuable things in this place.

At this moment, these martial artists who were seen as high and mighty in the eyes of ordinary people became killing machines. Often, someone stabbed an enemy to death with a sword, only to have their arm cut off by the next enemy.

As long as their heads didn't fall, they would use everything they had learned in their lives to thrust their weapons again, trying their best to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Some daring people even live-streamed the battle.

Now, it wasn't just Earthlings who could watch. Those who had obtained citizenship or poor status had chips, and they transmitted this battle to the martial arts forum of the Tianhe Empire through Dimensional Universe.

The forum of the Tianhe Empire was much bigger than that of Earth.

More and more people were paying attention to this battle, and the Solar System's name was gradually entering their field of vision.

"My god! This fight for the native planet is intense."

"One side is the empire's army, and the other is a lord. Sun Domain… it's the first time I've heard this name."

"I heard it for the first time too. It seems to have just joined the empire. I checked and the lord's name is Lin Zhen."

"I know that imperial countess, Diana. I just saw the empire's wanted order. It says Diana has already rebelled against the empire, and her attack on Earth is illegal."

"This woman dares to rebel. I support Lord Lin Zhen in defeating the traitor."

"Add one to support… However, the traitor's power seems a bit stronger."

"Hey! I just confirmed the Solar System's coordinates, and our Blue Bay Star is actually within Lord Lin Zhen's territory. So, Lin Zhen is our lord too?"

"Our Double Moon Star is also in this range. So Lin Zhen is the lord, but his realm doesn't seem to be very high."

"Let's watch it first. Maybe our lord hasn't met with his people yet and has been annihilated beforehand."

In the VIP room of the Asura Arena, Han Sha asked Jie Li beside him: "How is the investigation going? This Lin Zhen I recommended is not bad, right?"

"Indeed, he's not bad. His progress is fast. I feel that his Spiritual Power seems to have broken through. He's only in his twenties and already has Sky Blue Level Spiritual Power. It seems that we underestimated him before. This man must participate in the collective training camp for those under a hundred years old."

"That's not an easy thing. First of all, the level of the Beast Soul Gene Fluid he can fuse with and to what extent it can be fused is uncertain."

"You're right. Although we're called the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, there are too few people who can really accept the genes of Galaxy Beasts. Too many so-called geniuses can only accept the genes of higher-level Mutated Beasts, and their achievements are ultimately limited."

Han Sha chuckled, "I think you're too demanding. The reason why Galaxy Beasts are called Galaxy Beasts is that their bodies are strong enough. It's difficult for a human's life to integrate with their genes. If anyone could easily integrate with the genes of Galaxy Beasts, wouldn't there be too many geniuses?"

Jie Li also laughed, "I'm indeed a bit impatient. But since we're responsible for the Three Rivers Star Federation, we naturally need to select more geniuses for the organization. I hope Lin Zhen won't disappoint me."

"Yes, martial artists may pursue powerful combat techniques, elemental energy, and strength, but ultimately, they still need their own bodies to control the techniques. Only a strong body can truly unleash powerful combat power. This was also the concept of our Fire Kirin Empire at the beginning, but it's been somewhat distorted over the years."

"Let's watch this battle. If Lin Zhen can successfully defeat the joint forces of Anderson and Diana, then no matter what, I will get Lin Zhen to join our Star River Giant Beast Alliance!"

"Clang clang clang clang!"

The Cliff Corner Spear in Lin Zhen's hand pecked like a golden rooster. With a series of spear lights flashing, he forced Diana into a chaotic state.

This was still the case when Lin Zhen was fighting two against one. Now, Diana realized that if she didn't use the Gravity Space, she really couldn't beat Lin Zhen in close combat.

"Save me!"

Diana screamed, and the Constant Star Level 3 martial artist hurriedly rushed from behind to support Diana.

Without turning his head, Lin Zhen brandished his Back Horse Spear!

Utilizing both Unbreakable Technique and Time Acceleration, the Constant Star martial artist was caught off guard and was stabbed in the abdomen by Lin Zhen's spear!

Lin Zhen swiftly withdrew his spear, blocking Diana's two incoming swords. He stepped with the Plum Blossom Piles footwork, and the Unbreakable Technique combined with Sea Treading was displayed again. After two more rounds, Lin Zhen gained the upper hand again, pressing Diana in close combat.

Diana was furious and yelled, "You idiot, are you too scared to fight after getting hit by a spear? If I get killed by Lin Zhen because of you, you won't survive either, and neither will your master!"

The injured Constant Star martial artist immediately revealed a determined expression and once again pounced on Lin Zhen.

Galaxy Domain!

With a thought, Lin Zhen's domain opened once again.

The Cliff Corner Spear thrust left and right, keeping both enemies at bay, and several planets began to appear.

Seeing that Lin Zhen was using this move again, Diana couldn't help but feel panicked.

"I'm going all out with you!"

She charged at Lin Zhen like a madwoman, her body shimmering with starlight, a sign of an imminent self-destruction!

Lin Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sidestepped to make a passage as if to let Diana go.

Diana didn't want to fight Lin Zhen to the death, and she had only been pretending. Seeing the imminent Starburst, her mind was already focused on escaping.

Seeing that Lin Zhen had indeed taken the bait, Diana rejoiced in her heart, completely disregarding the Constant Star martial artist who was still entangled with Lin Zhen, and decisively rushed towards the outside of Lin Zhen's space.

Lin Zhen seemed not to notice her escape and once again used Time Acceleration with his spear in hand!

Pu~~~!

A flash of lightning shot past, and the Constant Star Level 3 expert was pierced through the throat, dying on the spot!

After killing this opponent, Lin Zhen saw Diana had already rushed to the edge of his Galaxy Domain. With a thought, seven planets chased after her, and Spatial Cutting appeared!

A dark space rift appeared in front of Diana, blocking her path.

Diana revealed a cold smile, "Lin Zhen, I've been prepared for your move. Today, you can't stop me from leaving. As long as I leave your domain, you can never catch me again!"

With a nimble twist of her body, Diana skillfully dodged the space rift, and like a slippery eel, she was about to rush out.

"Stay right there!"

Just when Diana thought she had succeeded, a large swath of spear lights appeared in front of her like torrential rain!

"Lin Zhen~~!!!"

Diana let out a heart-wrenching scream as she discovered another Lin Zhen.

Pa pa pa pa!

The only response was a series of shaking spear sounds, with cold lights like stars in the night, coming directly at her!

She tried her hardest to resist, but the Lin Zhen behind her attacked again. The two Lin Zhens joined forces, wielding their spears like dragons, tightly ensnaring Diana!

She just dodged a spear aimed at her head, but her shoulder was pierced by another spear. She didn't suffer a serious injury because her shoulder lost its strength, but then her thigh was pierced by another spear.

Enduring the pain, she tried to counterattack, but her arm was hit by another spear again, and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground.

Diana couldn't help but want to self-destruct. She wanted to kill herself, and die together with these two Lin Zhens!

However, before her Star Power could gather, the Yin-Yang Spear pierced through her lower abdomen!

With both hands clutching the spear in her lower abdomen she tried to pull it out, but another spear was aimed at her head again!

The two long spears were like two flashing lightning bolts coming back and forth, not even giving her, a prominent Five-Level Constant Star and Venus Asura, a chance to commit suicide!

"This spear is for invading Earth!"

"This spear is for your indiscriminate killing of innocents!"

"This spear is for your treason!"

"This spear is for your mistreatment of me in the Asura Arena!"

"This spear is for capturing my family!"

Diana's entire body had become a bloody gourd, her lips trembling as she muttered, "It was… Ya Xuan who wanted to capture your family…"

"You were still the one to carry out the orders, Diana. Blood debts must be paid in blood, in this life and the next!"

Lin Zhen said something Diana couldn't understand, as she couldn't remember her past life.

However, Lin Zhen didn't need to explain too much to her, as his real body and his clone suddenly exerted force simultaneously.

Intense elemental energy erupted from both spears.

"Diana! It's over now, and you shall become the dust of the universe!"

Lightning struck her body and made it stiff, a stone smashed her flesh and blood, freezing air turned her into an ice sculpture, a golden light cut her in half, a flame burned her to ashes, and a violent wind blew her remains away, leaving no trace!

Finally, a beam of light fell, and everything was purified. The Imperial Countess, Venus Asura Diana, completely vanished into the heavens and earth!
