"Master, we're almost at Neon Light Star."

"The spaceship is about to embark on Cosmic Shuttle."

After a 12-day journey at 1.5 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe, Lin Yan is finally about to reach his first destination.

Neon Light Star is one of the top 100 most important planets within the territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and it is even more prosperous than Qiulong Star.

This planet wasn't originally called that; it was just an ordinary Life Planet. However, eight million years ago, a powerful being at the World Lord peak appeared, known as "Neon Light World Lord" Lan Xi.

Because of her existence, this planet gradually prospered and was later renamed "Neon Light Star".

In her lifetime, she ventured to the Outer Domain Battlefield in an attempt to break through to immortality, but unfortunately perished. Twenty thousand years later, on Neon Light Star, she discovered A World she had once created, which was purchased by a high-ranking executive of the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Virtual Universe Company.

World Lord's World isn't actually that precious. Any World Master can create A World, just of varying sizes.

A World can be shrunk down to the size of a villa.

It can even be shrunk to the size of a specially manufactured grain of sand.

To contain A World, smaller items are harder to carry, so larger items are cheaper.

The worlds left behind by these World Master usually required a great deal of effort from them, and no one can be sure whether they left anything behind at all.

After all, it's normal for the size of the world's interior to be hundreds or thousands of times that of a planet. If someone really wanted to hide it, even if they just placed an ordinary Space Ring somewhere, those capable of searching for it wouldn't have the time or inclination.

Therefore, it is generally handled according to each individual's circumstances.

Taking "Neon Light World" as an example, the number of geniuses and elites absorbed by the Virtual Universe Company in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain is not small. They need to be managed, trained, and put through life-or-death tests. The danger of Neon Light World is relatively low, and it is one of their training worlds.

After Cosmic Shuttle, the spaceship flew towards a beautiful, dreamlike, colorful planet.

"This planet is truly beautiful," Lin Yan remarked.

Such a beautiful planet is rare in the universe.

Wind Queen explained, "This is because the Neon Light World Lord once invested a lot of resources to transform the planet, which is why Neon Light Star has this appearance. It was not formed naturally."

Lan Xi is a female World Master, and she has stricter requirements for aesthetics. The money spent on planet terraforming is nothing to a World Lord peak.

The spaceship had just arrived when it was guided by a traction signal to the planet's docking port.

Lin Yan did not get off the spaceship immediately, but instead opened the system directly, and his consciousness appeared in a blue light mist space.

Among the countless drifting stars, a dreamy, colorful planet stands out.

A line of text appeared above: "[No significant opportunity found]".

He had tested this function many times and had gained some understanding of it. This "important opportunity" refers to an opportunity of "desolate level" or higher.

In Lin Yan's understanding, only opportunities that are at least important to immortality can be classified as "Desolate Level".

With a thought, Lin Yan noticed that the previous line of text gradually disappeared, and three new lines of text reappeared.

[Opportunity Discovered: Calamity God Weapon]

[Opportunity Discovered: Soul Heart Stab]

[Discovering an Opportunity: Cosmic Crystal]

This is the system's rating of all the opportunities on Neon Light Star: Unremarkable! Of course, even unremarkable opportunities are still opportunities that would drive a domain lord crazy and make World Master envious.

Lin Yan clicked on the first item to learn more—

[130,000 epochs ago, the World Master "Wu Ya" died from his injuries on Fulin Star in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain Starfield (now Neon Light Star), leaving behind a psychic weapon— the Calamity God Weapon!]

[Calamity God Weapon: One of the Controller's Nine Divine Weapons, created by combining the two Origin Law of "lightning" and "time".]

[Level of Chance Determination: Insignificant!]

[Should we activate the opportunity?]

[Yes/No] (Stellar level activation count: 2/2)

Lin Yan was somewhat surprised that there were three opportunities in a place like Neon Light Star. He had tried in Qiu Long City before, but didn't get a single one.

A psychic weapon like the Divine Calamity God Weapon should be worth between 3 and 5 Chaos Yuan. That's about the same as the assets of an ordinary World Master. The fact that the Calamity God Weapon went undiscovered for 130,000 epochs is anyone's guess as to where this World Master "Wu Ya" hid it.

As for Soul Heart Stab, it is an ordinary intelligent Light Brain, but it stores a secret technique called "Soul Heart Stab".

Neon Light Star is, after all, a well-known commercial planet in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain, so there must be some bargains to be found. This "Soul Heart Stab" is such a case. Due to limited knowledge and superficial disguise, its true value has not been discovered.

The third one, [Cosmic Crystal], is related to the "Neon Light World".

The Neon Light World Lord did indeed intend to create World within a World, so he purchased a large number of Cosmic Crystal, but ultimately delayed and did not do it. The Space Ring containing the Cosmic Crystal was placed in the Neon Light World, but it seems to be placed in a rather secret place as well.

Lin Yan shut down the system.

"There are no opportunities on Neon Light Star worth wasting your activation chances on..."

Despite saying that, I wasn't discouraged at all; on the contrary, I was in high spirits.

Even if you know about these three opportunities, if you don't activate them, it's still like looking for a needle in a haystack; they're practically impossible to find.

However, he certainly wouldn't be willing to spend the opportunity on this.

There are 41 more worlds that are considered to be the Law of Light World Lord's World, and there are five or six that are similar to the Neon Light World Lord. One of them is even known as the invincible World Master in the Ganwu Universe Country!

But that distance is quite far.

He wasn't in a hurry, so he arranged for the most famous ones to come one by one, according to the distance of their journeys.

However, at least from the situation on Neon Light Star, we can get a glimpse of the whole picture. The guaranteed 3 billion Cosmic Coin can be easily solved, so he has even less reason to be in a hurry.

For at least a year, his ideas don't need to be too pragmatic.

Lin Yan stepped out of the cabin, paid the spaceship's parking fee, and then flew towards Donghong City, where the Neon Light World was located.

A few minutes later, he arrived at Donghong City, a bustling metropolis located on Neon Light Star.

Hovercrafts are a common sight in the city, and there are others that fly like him.

The Neon Light World Lord has a manor here, but she did not integrate A World into the entire manor; rather, it was on the door of an ordinary room within the manor.

Virtual Universe Company originally had only a regular branch on Neon Light Star that provided account opening services, but due to the Neon Light World, they renovated the manor and built a new base.

"Master, we are 62 kilometers away from our destination," Wind Queen said, guiding him forward.

Soon, Lin Yan, dressed in black battle armor, entered the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters.

Enter the hall.

"Excuse me, where is the entrance to the Neon Light World?" he asked a staff member.

The staff member looked somewhat respectful when he saw the Blood Sea Medal on his left chest.

Within the Virtual Universe Company, even those at the Stellar level are subject to strict management, and their actions must comply with company orders. Generally, only those at the Cosmic level are awarded the Blood Sea Medal, which grants them greater freedom and authority.

"Go through this corridor, then turn right, and walk to the end of the road. You will see it there, heavily guarded."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Yan nodded in thanks.

"Are you also here in the Neon Light World for training?"

A white-robed man with flowing silver hair overheard their conversation and turned his head with some curiosity.

Then the Blood Sea Medal on Lin Yan's chest came into view, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Cosmic level!"

What the heck?

What are Cosmic level doing in the Neon Light World?

Lin Yan smiled and said, "You've misunderstood. I'm not Cosmic level."

The silver-haired man was somewhat surprised that Lin Yan said he wasn't Cosmic level but possessed the Blood Sea Medal from the Virtual Universe Company. However, he felt it would be impolite to directly use the smart Light Brain to test the other party's strength, so he didn't try to do so.

The silver-haired man said familiarly, "Let's go then, I'm also going to the Neon Light World for training."

They introduced themselves on the way.

The silver-haired man He Ming, a level-two elite of the Virtual Universe Company. He had entered the Neon Light World for training with some other members. Wind Queen tested his strength and found him to be at the Stellar level six, which was not bad.

Generally, testing human strength can be easily done with Auxiliary Optical Computer or intelligent Light Brain. Testing ferocious beasts and Starry Sky Beast is also relatively easy because humans and beasts are both Flesh-type creatures.

Simply point the Auxiliary Optical Computer at the other party, and it can be detected.

Of course, it would be even easier for Intelligent life form like Wind Queen.

However, unlike humans, Plant-type Lifeform do not have "Miniature Planet," making them difficult to test. Furthermore, when a human reaches the Domain Lord level, their aura can be completely contained within their Life Core, making them undetectable to the outside world.

Unless the other party actively releases their aura!

They arrived at the location the staff had indicated, a mahogany loft with a faint scent of wood in the air.

He Ming said, "I'm waiting for the other members to arrive. What about you?"

"Then I'll go in first." Lin Yan looked at the mahogany pavilion and said, "See you again sometime."

He Ming nodded.

In fact, once they go in, they will be scattered in various locations.

Lin Yan stepped forward and stood in front of the pavilion.

"Drop!"

The signal scanned him, and the group of guards, hearing the signal, nodded and said, "Go in."

The Blood Sea Medal is linked to his identity signal, so he only needs to verify his identity signal to pass through freely.

Lin Yan entered the attic.

The hall was brightly lit. Two men dressed in Silver Battle Suit were somewhat surprised when they saw the Blood Sea Medal on his left chest, even though the intelligent Light Brain had detected that he was "Stellar level 3"!

A man handed him a book and said in a deep voice, "This is a map of the interior of the Neon Light World. The World Lord's World is quite dangerous, so please proceed with caution."

"I understand," Lin Yan replied.

The man nodded slightly. "The entrance to the world is on the second floor."

Lin Yan walked up the stairs to the second floor. All the other rooms on the second floor were normal, except for one room where a burly man with green eyes and a height of 2.3 meters was standing at the door. When he saw Lin Yan, he opened the door directly, and a stream of light immediately flowed out from the door.

"This is the entrance to the world..."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up with curiosity.

The shimmering light, like bubbles, made it impossible for him to see what lay behind it.

"Go inside, and you'll find yourself in Neon Light World," the man said coldly.

"Um."

Lin Yan nodded emphatically and stepped into the stream of light.

Silently.

"Bang!" The tall, green-eyed man slammed the door shut again.

Shifting Stars.

With one step, Lin Yan's figure appeared in mid-air, and he immediately felt the enormous gravity in this Neon Light World, which was about 6,300 times that of Earth's gravity!

However, his control over the magnetic field was almost a gift, and he did not need to rely on Miniature Planet to change the surrounding gravity like others. This made it easier for him to control the field, and his body did not fall due to the enormous gravity of the world.

He observed his surroundings.

The world was dark and silent.

A black sun appeared in the sky, surrounded by a hazy, colorful glow.

The loud sound of the waterfall reached his ears. Lin Yan looked up and saw that the hazy colored light from the ceiling, reflected in the waterfall, revealed a unique sense of tranquility and beauty.

Fish, some fifty or sixty centimeters long, were swimming upstream against the current of the waterfall under such gravitational pull. Their bodies were like lanterns, shrouded in a faint white halo, and at the center of the white halo was a splash of colorful light.

Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

This black sun is obviously not a real star.

Within A World, many places can be created according to the World Master's imagination, so many phenomena that defy common sense can occur.

Because the entire world was created by powerful beings who World Master using "Universe Origin Energy," the foundation of the entire World Lord's World is Cosmic Crystal. Land, sand, rocks, water, and other materials are all influenced by Universe Origin Energy, making them much more special than external materials.

The fish swimming upstream against the waterfall is called the "Flowing Light Mackerel," a type of fish rarely seen in the outside world. Although it is only fifty or sixty centimeters long, it is extremely fast, even faster than a light-attribute martial artist of the same level.

Coupled with its considerable attack power, it is considered a very dangerous beast even in the Neon Light World.

However, the Sha Luo Flower is an excellent food source. The Sha Luo Flower is a very strange Plant Lifeform. It usually prefers to devour Flesh-type and blood, but if it eats too much of a certain thing, it will also absorb some of its characteristics.

At first, it didn't matter because the low-level monsters on Earth were not affected by this except for their blood energy. However, Lin Yan then began to intentionally control their diet by purchasing a large number of various "Blood and Flesh Ganoderma". These Blood and Flesh Ganoderma are not plants, but treasures extracted from the corpses of monsters or ferocious beasts.

It is mainly suitable for breeding and training animals, and the special case of the Sha Luo Flower naturally includes it.

Then, adjust its diet according to its condition to ensure balanced and comprehensive development.

However, delicacies like the Flowing Light Mackerel are very rare and hard to find normally.

Lin Yan a thought, blood-red Leaf Vine spread out from behind him, almost covering the sky, and then suddenly attacked the waterfall. One after another, enchanting flowers bloomed and made a piercing sound under the night sky!

Thank you for the 21,500 point reward that stayed with me until the end of the song. I was surprised.
