Fire Thief

Earth.

Location of Shennongjia.

A building covering an area of nearly ten kilometers covers the ground, resembling Bird's Nest woven from leaves, and is made entirely of C-Grade Alloy.

Numerous Plant Lifeform of varying levels grow in the mountains, and their enormous size conceals the 'Bird's Nest' within them.

Nearby, a Stellar level slave legion, led by some Cosmic level slaves, is garrisoning this area.

Inside this "Bird's Nest".

At the core of this massive building is an inverted bowl-shaped metal dome made of D-rank alloy. This is a strange, transparent metal that encloses a giant sphere with a diameter of over 800 meters. The surface has some pits, from which venom flows and poisonous gas permeates.

It was the Zerg Mother Nest.

In the poisonous gas, the Zerg Mother Nest appeared indistinct and blurry, like clouds and mist swirling around it.

A tall figure stood beside him.

It is about 16 meters tall.

Its entire body is covered in a layer of Streamlined Scales with a predominantly cyan color. Green threads are wrapped around the complex Green Scale Armor, giving it Split Spirit appearance.

It has thick lower limbs and two pairs of forelimbs that resemble War Blade, with sharp claws along the edges of the forelimbs.

Behind it are two pairs of blade-like wings.

A pair of compound eyes stood out, and his mouth was filled with a dense array of sharp teeth.

This is a pure fighting machine! Its body structure gives it absolutely strong defense, absolute agility, and absolute speed, and its attack power is equally strong. It has absolutely no weaknesses.

This is the first stage of the Green Line Devouring Worm in its juvenile stage – the "Qingfu Mengchong"!

Moreover, its most dangerous aspects are not even these.

The "Green Line Devouring Worm" in the form of the Qingfu Mengchong can be said to have reached the pinnacle of clarity in its perception of the Wood Origin Law.

Its method of applying the Law of Wood is "toxins," all sorts of bizarre toxins. However, this requires further in-depth research. Toxins secreted by the body are only the foundation. Based on the Origin Law and other knowledge, "toxins" need to be perfected.

This is similar to the concept of cultivation secrets.

Before leaving, Lin Yan left behind three clones of the Green Line Devouring Worm: one in Wen Zhi'an's World Ring, and another on Chi Pan Star to continue absorbing the Cosmic Essence. This planet would soon be Destruction by the expansion of the star, and it would be a waste not to absorb it completely.

Another group specializes in researching toxins. They are currently collecting venom from the World Lord level Zerg Mother Nest, ingesting the venom to break it down, and then beginning their research.

The Green Line Devouring Worm's innate ability to "clone" prevents it from cultivating, but its main body's consciousness can descend and study knowledge-based things without any problem.

This is equivalent to multitasking, just like Lin Yan cultivating in the outside world while his consciousness comprehends in the Virtual Universe, except that the efficiency of each will be affected.

Speaking of which...

The "Apothecary's Handbook" that I bought for Wen Zhi'an has unexpectedly come in handy so quickly; much of the content recorded in it has been helpful to me.

Suddenly--

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Green Line Devouring Worm's split body. With a hum, it flapped its wings and vanished without a trace. The Super Speed vibration of the object's molecules passed directly through the solid and entered the ground.

Strictly speaking, "Mirror Flower Water Moon" is Mental Master flying secret technique. The Green Line Devouring Worm clone cannot use it, but some techniques of the first level of the Divine Speed Storm can be learned and applied. It is not difficult to pass through B-grade metal, let alone the soil of the earth.

Reach the planet's core quickly.

The Green Line Devouring Worm clone had a cold gaze. Then, its blade-like wings vibrated at a high frequency, the green runes on its body lit up, and a wisp of cyan mist spread out, suddenly transforming into a cyan seed.

Talent Secret Method - Rooting!

Green lines emerge from the blue seeds, from which emerald green roots extend, slowly stretching out like the blood vessels of a planet.

The emerald green "vessels" trembled slightly.

Lin Yan did not actively absorb the Cosmic Essence as he did on Chi Pan Star. This essence is extremely important for Life Planet, and only by absorbing enough of the Cosmic Essence can humans have sufficient potential.

Like those Divine Kingdom Humans, whose divine kingdoms are located in the crevices of space, not in the original Universe Space, the amount of Cosmic Essence they can absorb is pitifully small. Therefore, without Special Encounters, Divine Kingdom Humans are destined not to become "immortals".

There's no way Lin Yan would harm his own family.

Time passed slowly.

The Green Line Devouring Worm in the "Rooting" state, apart from their consciousness being unaffected, are otherwise just like embryos in the process of gestation.

Canglan Star.

Lin Yan and his companions walked along the street, where construction was underway everywhere, and a magnificent city was beginning to take shape.

Since it's not convenient for Earthling to step in right now, and Lin Yan doesn't have any suitable candidates, the person ultimately in charge of many affairs on Canglan Star and Jiuzhou Star is the Life Puppet he assimilated using his Green Line Devouring Worm talent, "Parasitism."

The Life Puppet have been stripped of their ability to think and act entirely according to the consciousness transmitted by the Green Line Devouring Worm through the "Soul Worm".

However, Lin Yan didn't have much time or energy to manage trivial matters.

His Life Puppet are merely stationed here to oversee the overall direction, while Cosmic level and Stellar level slaves provide assistance. Specific tasks, of course, still require the promotion of capable individuals.

Eight star systems, millions of Life Planet, and many with capable inhabitants.

Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Thinking back to when I saw Qiu Long City, I thought it was incredibly grand, but compared to the Imperial Capital City of this Canglan Star, it seems utterly unbearable."

"That's for sure," Lin Yan said with a smile. "The money invested in the construction of Canglan Star alone far exceeds the value of ten Qiulong Star."

"Lin Yan, you seem to value this a lot?" Thunder God asked curiously. "Our Jiuzhou Company is extremely profitable in the Virtual Universe, but I see you don't seem to care much about it. Compared to that, the Jiuzhou Star project should be far inferior."

The Virtual Universe presents an enormous market, and business is much easier to do there.

"Because it's very important," Lin Yan explained. "Since we want to cultivate the Earthling, which currently numbers in the billions and will soon reach tens or hundreds of billions, the resources required are enormous."

"Even hundreds of billions of Muya Crystal would be an astronomical figure, not to mention that even hundreds of billions would be a drop in the ocean."

"Energy, weapons, battle suits, cultivation resources, and all sorts of other things."

"It can be said that although we are just a planet, the resources consumed by the entire star field in the future will be far less than what we consume. At this point, relying on purchasing is not only troublesome, but also wastes too much money. Of course, we have to do it ourselves."

"Tie Luo Company, which I previously collaborated on the Laser Gun project, is one of the many companies I acquired. These companies cover various industries and form the foundation for my 'Jiuzhou Star' business."

Lin Yan said, "Only when we do this well can we become the masters of the market, allowing resources to come to us and be continuously transported to Earth."

Thunder God blinked.

He genuinely hadn't considered that; he only ever thought that there was nothing money couldn't buy.

However, even something as ordinary as Muya Crystal can undergo a qualitative change due to quantitative change.

At this moment—

A silver-gray, monstrous triangular spaceship and an ancient, jet-black, sword-shaped spaceship transformed into streaks of light and plunged into the atmosphere of the Canglan Star, slowly descending from the high sky.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Yan fell into deep thought.

Is this what it means to be rich and powerful?

Even though he and Luo Feng were in the same line of work, he still sent two F-class ship to pick them up.

"Our people have arrived." Lin Yan turned to Hong and Thunder God. "We have to leave now. If you have any problems in the Ganwu Universe Country that you can't handle on your own, just email me."

"In any case, I can contact those 'Lord Thirteen' from before, as well as the three department heads of our Virtual Universe Company's Ganwu Branch. If it's not too difficult, they should be willing to help."

He was Primal Secret Region Member, and his status was not much lower than that of King-level Immortal. Although his strength was still low, he could interact with them on a relatively equal footing.

"Okay," Hong said solemnly. "You guys keep up the good work at Virtual Universe Company too!"

Thunder God laughed and said, "You and Luo Feng just wait and see, I'll catch up with you soon too."

"Catching up with me... that's really too difficult," Lin Yan said, feigning deep thought.

"Haha..." The four of them burst into laughter.

That's really difficult.

"Let's work together! Let's all become super strong in the universe!" Luo Feng's face was radiant in the sunlight.

That day.

Lin Yan and Luo Feng each boarded a spaceship bound for the Virtual Universe Company headquarters, while Hong and Thunder God were also about to enter the Ganwu Secret Realm and embark on a new adventure.

They...

We must steal the spark that will allow humanity to rise again on Earth.

One day.

In this prosperous yet primitive and wild world, a raging fire was ignited.
