Feather Snail Sky Gold

In the distant, Barbaric Universe Country, there lies a dark and silent expanse of starry sky.

There are no stars or planets here, only occasional interstellar dust flying by, within the Space Interlayer corresponding to this starry sky.

A magnificent and vast divine realm.

A mountain range, over a million kilometers high, soars into the clouds. At the very peak of this mountain range stands a temple that shimmers with dazzling golden light. The temple is ten thousand kilometers high, and people are everywhere inside.

Inside the temple.

"Squeak!"

"Roar!"

Enormous Zerg Warrior of various sizes and appearances walked through the temple. Occasionally, one could even see some Immortal Zerg Warriors. In addition to the Zerg Warrior, there were also humans dressed in white robes, gold robes, and armor. These humans and Zerg Warrior often passed each other by, but they coexisted peacefully.

The highest level of the temple.

The Zerg Mother Nest, over ten kilometers high and resembling Damaged meteorite, stands at the center of this highest level, surrounded by a large number of Immortal Zerg Warriors, numbering no less than ten thousand at a glance.

"Owner!"

The three Golden-Robed Man were surrounded by a large number of Zerg Warrior and bowed respectfully.

"What brings you here?" A soft voice echoed throughout the hall, as if a peerless beauty were whispering in your ear.

"Master," the Golden-Robed Man at the head of the group said respectfully, "Urgent intelligence has just arrived. The name No. 1 has appeared in the accounts of the 'Wu Long Star Domain,' one of humanity's Nine Great Garbage Star Domains!"

"Lin Yan?" The soft voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Yes, Master."

The Golden-Robed Man at the head of the group respectfully said, "According to the details of the accounts, NO.1 purchased 10,000 units of World Lord peak Zerg corpses in the Wu Long Star Domain. These Zerg Corpse have been allocated and delivered under the arrangement of the managers."

"However, shopping in the Garbage Star Domain comes with a bonus opportunity to 'shop on Taobao,' and since Lin Yan is visiting for the first time, there's a certain probability he'll choose to enter the Wu Long Star Domain to 'shop on Taobao'!"

"The area within the Wu Long Star Domain that stores endless remnants is off-limits to Immortal God. This is a rule set by the five major human powers, and even the No. 1 cannot violate it." The Golden-Robed Man raised his head, his eyes shining. "If he really enters, it will be a great opportunity for us!"

"His progress is too rapid. If we don't carry out the assassination soon, he will pose a great threat!"

"Um."

"However, the strongest force in our organization in the Wu Long Star Domain is only ordinary Immortal God puppets. If it were to kill others, it might be enough, but NO.1... is beyond our organization's capabilities." The gentle voice said, "I have already reported this matter to the clan. The clan will personally dispatch a strong person to handle the assassination attempt on NO.1."

"However, the Zerg personnel we have planted in the Wu Long Star Domain must cooperate with them in their operations."

"Yes."

The Golden-Robed Man respectfully withdrew.

When Lin Yan's name reappeared, the Zerg, who had been planning for some time, were the first to arrange everything.

In the virtual world set up within the Zerg.

In the endless clouds, on a beautiful floating island, Zerg Mother Queen with butterfly-like wings frolic among each other, possessing extraordinary charm. A single glance from them makes other creatures feel sorry for them and want to protect them.

"Look, it's Alien Race."

"It's the Kong Fan Race of our Zerg Alliance." The Mother Emperor all looked at the figure, a powerful Alien Race warrior with a keratinous body, wearing a mask and ancient black armor. This Kong Fan Race warrior quickly arrived at the center of the floating island.

It was a palace carved from wood.

The palace gates were wide open.

The powerful member of the Kong Fan Race entered the palace, and the guards did not stop him.

"Kong Fan Race Jueguang pays respects to the Lord of Feather Tu." This masked Alien Race powerhouse bowed in the wooden hall, where a peerless being of unparalleled beauty sat on the wooden throne, her entire body shrouded in a hazy, Colorful Mist.

"Venerable Jue Guang, I need you to do something, do you understand?" Lord of Feather Tu's voice was clear and crisp.

"I understand," Venerable Jue Guang replied respectfully.

"What do you need to say?" asked the being on the wooden throne.

"The Lord of Feather Tu chose me for two reasons. First, because I possess the ability to create clones, which allows me to regenerate even if killed by a powerful human. Second, because as a member of the Kong Fan Race, I am naturally skilled in the art of Soul Control," said Venerable Jue Guang. "Even the human race would never have imagined that a Universe Venerable would attempt to assassinate a Domain Lord. No matter what protections they had beforehand, they could not have prevented me from successfully assassinating that human, Lin Yan."

"And for me, the cost is minimal."

"Yes, Lin Yan, that human, has achieved such success in just over a hundred years. He is indeed a prodigy. The human race must value him highly. However, with Universe Venerable going, there is a sure chance of success." Lord of Feather Tu said, "Looking at my Zerg Alliance, you are the most suitable. The enormous amount of divine power required to restore a Universe Venerable avatar is a huge price to pay, but the alliance will make up for it."

Venerable Jue Guang stood there respectfully listening.

The stunningly beautiful figure looked down at Venerable Jue Guang: "My requirement is that the human Lin Yan must Soul Control! Once his soul is controlled, then the possibility of Reverse Space-Time and resurrecting him will be completely eliminated!"

"The mission will definitely be accomplished," said Venerable Jue Guang.

For a Universe Venerable like him, Soul Control is far too easy.

"Hmm." The stunning figure nodded. "However, your personal intervention is only my worst-case scenario. Normally, unless the human race intends to use them as bait, there wouldn't be Universe Venerable protecting them. So I have other arrangements for this matter."

"Our Zerg also has some Alien Race Feng Wang Immortal God Soul Control. Although they are very useful, if we can exchange them for Lin Yan, the price of sacrificing a King Rank Immortal Servant is naturally more worthwhile."

"He possesses Peak Feng Wang strength and is highly accomplished in the realm of the soul."

"He will be the one to find the opportunity. No one else will know that you went to the Human territory. You will stay behind the scenes and keep an eye on things. If he succeeds after he makes his move, that would be best. You can then withdraw completely."

"If we fail, we can at least test the protective force behind Lin Yan, and then you can personally take action to reverse the situation."

Venerable Jue Guang's mind immediately became clear.

This Lord of Feather Tu truly lives up to his reputation as the leader of the Zerg Alliance. Although he is Great Existence at the level of a universe lord, he has no arrogance and is extremely meticulous.

Venerable Jue Guang thought to himself, "If that 'Lin Yan' knew this day would come, he would surely regret his talent."

Even geniuses who emerge only once every hundred million epochs are not qualified to enter the vision of this Lord of the Universe, but he is just too outstanding, so outstanding that the Lord of Feather Tu personally arranged this absolute killing move for him!

Even when dealing with a minor domain lord, they can consider all the possibilities and make proper arrangements to minimize the cost and leave no chance of survival.

Even if Lin Yan, that human, has a high talent, he is only a domain lord now. Whether he is at the Peak Feng Wang or Universe Venerable, it would be easy for anyone to Soul Control.

What it fears... is only the protective power of humankind.

However, under the arrangement of the Lord of Feather Tu, this human Lin Yan has no chance of survival and no possibility of escaping death!

"Go, go and end his life, which was as brilliant and short as a shooting star." The exquisite being wore a smile that made the world pale in comparison, and her voice seemed to resonate in the heart of Venerable Jue Guang.

"Yes," Venerable Jue Guang replied respectfully.

Wu Long Star Domain.

A meteorite lies motionless in the starry sky, seemingly a meteorite, but its interior has actually been transformed into an "observation point".

Inside the meteorite.

"There's a life-or-death battle at the Domain Lord level in the Giant Axe Arena right now! Brothers, I'm going to win back what I lost last time!" a burly man completely shrouded in armor shouted excitedly.

Staying at the observation point was incredibly boring.

Watching life-or-death battles and gambling are also common pastimes for them.

"They're here."

"Haha, I asked you to bet with me last time, but you wouldn't believe me. I've been winning every single time lately!"

The members of the observation point were all excited, each sending a sliver of their consciousness to connect to the Virtual Universe Network. As for the observation mission... in fact, the entire Wu Long Star Domain has a very sophisticated monitoring system. It's purely a matter of technology. These observers mainly pay attention to whether the monitoring system has been damaged, etc.

Inside one of the rest rooms at the observation point, a lean man with a head covered in Black Scale Armor lay on a bed.

"The mission... has arrived!"

Call!

He suddenly sat up in bed, his eyes snapping open, his dark green pupils coldly staring at the alloy wall in front of him.

"Lin Yan?" he murmured to himself.

They lie dormant for tens of thousands of years, waiting for just one chance to strike.

Once an attack is launched, regardless of success or failure, survival is extremely difficult. Even if the target is successfully killed, the attackers will be killed by the powerful human forces stationed in the Wu Long Star Domain.

At this time.

Lin Yan, Gate, and King Long Jue were traveling in a spaceship through the Dark Universe.

"We are now heading to a point in the heart of the Wu Long Star Domain," King Long Jue said with a smile. "After all, the Wu Long Star Domain is too vast. If we were to travel slowly through the starfield in a spaceship, it would probably take tens of millions of years to cover only a small portion of the area."

Ordinary galaxies have a diameter of about 100,000 light-years.

A star field typically contains 10,000 star systems and has a diameter of millions of light-years, which is quite normal.

One can imagine how terrifying the endless debris and garbage stored in the Wu Long Star Domain must be; it is a true treasure trove.

The five individuals, including King Long Jue, were at the highest level responsible for the transactions. Furthermore, throughout the entire Wu Long Star Domain, there were those responsible for monitoring and killing! These were beings at the Universe Venerable level.

After all, if this Garbage Star Domain were to be stolen... even a casual theft could result in the loss of hundreds of millions of Hun Yuan Unit, so it is necessary to station an extremely strong military force there.

After more than two hours of flight.

The spaceship Cosmic Shuttle and returned to its original Universe Space, where an invisible surveillance signal scanned past it.

"Boom..." The spaceship landed in a palace in the distance, which was suspended in the starry sky and had a diameter of about 10,000 kilometers.

Wow!

The hatch opened.

King Long Jue, Lin Yan, Gate all flew down.

Looking around, the endless starry sky was completely blocked by countless cargo and debris, seemingly without end!

"The shock felt inside is even more terrifying than outside." Lin Yan looked up at the endless cargo above.

Because there is little gravity in the universe and no clear distinction between up and down, Lin Yan looked around and found that only a portion of the surrounding area was empty, allowing for accelerated Cosmic Shuttle at the speed of light, while the rest of the area was filled with cargo.

Don't be surprised.

Standing in the void, King Long Jue looked at Lin Yan and laughed, "What kind of place is the Outer Domain Battlefield? Several top races fight against each other, and there are also some race alliance wars. The amount of war debris generated is naturally frightening."

"Besides."

"Because the goods inside are countless and of great value, Immortal God are forbidden from entering to select them," King Long Jue laughed. "Because Immortal God can steal large quantities of goods and then escape instantly through the Divine Kingdom Teleportation! Therefore, Immortal God are absolutely forbidden from entering, and even I cannot violate this rule."

"Even if it's not Immortal God," King Long Jue sighed, "It's World Master, domain lord, etc., who must have extremely high authority. Some ordinary World Master and domain lords are not qualified to enter. Who knows, someone might secretly hide an Immortal God in their Inner World or World Ring to enter."

"Only those with high authority can avoid losing more than they gain by stealing a few goods and being hunted down by all of humanity."

"I understand." Lin Yan nodded slightly.

He turned to look at Gate beside him. "Gate, why don't you stay here and meditate for a while?"

"Your Highness, please be careful when you are alone," Gate said respectfully.

"It's alright," Lin Yan said.

Not to mention the Tai Sui Tree Spirit who has entered the immortal realm, Lin Yan's own strength is above that of Gate. However, he cannot easily reveal it, as that would be too shocking and lead to unpredictable consequences.

"This is the Wu Long Star Domain, a truly important place. What danger could there be?" King Long Jue laughed loudly. "Moreover, there are many powerful beings stationed here. Once there is any movement, the alert system will detect it immediately. Beings at the Universe Venerable level... can arrive at any place in the Wu Long Star Domain in an instant."

Upon hearing this, Gate felt much more at ease.

"Here, I'll send you a 'monitoring network diagram.' With your permissions, you can view the monitoring network diagram. Normally, when you're shopping in the Wu Long Star Domain, you need a guide to accompany you, but this rule doesn't apply to you."

King Long Jue said, "Your connection to the Virtual Universe Network requires approval from the Virtual Universe System."

"Mm." Lin Yan nodded.

The Virtual Universe System has many functions, including witnessing and auditing.

A moment later.

Lin Yan was then authorized, and the screen on his arm guard displayed a monitoring map of the entire Wu Long Star Domain.

"King Long Jue, I'll go in and shop on Taobao first," Lin Yan said with a smile.

"Haha, go ahead! Over 3,000 epochs ago, one of our Internal Member in the Wu Long Star Domain casually searched for treasures and found a fragment of an ancient artifact. He immediately made hundreds of millions of Hun Yuan Unit by reselling it and became rich overnight!"

King Long Jue sighed, "Although we are very careful when sorting the various remains, the sheer number is simply too enormous. Even with robots sorting them, mistakes sometimes happen, and occasionally someone will unearth some treasures."

Lin Yan was quite interested in this.

I asked around, and it turns out that in the last hundred million years, only two people have unearthed more than a hundred million Hun Yuan Unit, which is obviously an extremely low probability.

But he didn't care.

After King Long Jue recorded the Emperor Ship in the internal system, he bid farewell to King Long Jue Gate, and went directly into the spaceship.

The spaceship accelerated rapidly and transformed into a streak of light, leaving the palace.

The Wu Long Star Domain is almost entirely filled with countless remnants of Clan War. Various remnants clog the starry sky, but they are still systematically separated into pieces.

Towering Garbage Mountain, piled high with countless chaotic and messy remnants, exude an aura of ancient times even to the naked eye.

In the Dark Universe.

"Higher access is indeed beneficial." Lin Yan, aboard the spaceship, looked down at the monitoring star map on the screen of his arm guard.

The Wu Long Star Domain's surveillance system covers the entire starfield, and the entire starfield is under surveillance, with countless dots of light appearing in various parts of the monitoring map.

"Hmm, the many white dots on the star map should represent insiders, while my coordinates are represented by red dots, which means they represent outsiders."

A moment later, Lin Yan understood the monitoring star map.

In fact, the access to the Star Chart is not very high. It should be noted that each of the lower-level internal staff has a copy, and with Lin Yan's current level of authority, he can easily obtain authorization.

"Wind Queen, let's stop here."

"Clear."

The Emperor quickly slowed down, stopped, and returned to its Primordial Universe.

Puff!

In the Wu Long Star Domain, at one of the docking points, a pitch-black triangular spaceship suddenly appeared.

Spaceships are only allowed to Cosmic Shuttle through specific areas of these docking points. Other areas are filled with endless cargo and wreckage. Once a spaceship appears, it will be attacked immediately. Even King-level Immortal God cannot escape the pursuit.

Lin Yan's eyes were calm as he opened the system.

Now that he is Domain Lord level, the range of opportunities he can explore has also increased to "one hundred billion kilometers". This range of one hundred billion kilometers is not affected by Lin Yan's location, but is a fixed area.

Moment.

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

For the system, the minimum requirement for a "significant opportunity" is "Wilderness Level". Only opportunities that are very important to immortals will be classified as "Wilderness Level".

Opportunities that are very important to domain lords and World Master will be classified as "unremarkable".

Furthermore, it is difficult to quantify "Hun Yuan Unit".

Taking the "E9-class Laser Gun (0.1-second charge, top-tier)" as an example, its price is between 500,000 and 1,000,000 Hun Yuan Unit, which is very valuable. However, it does not provide any benefit to Immortal God, so it can only be rated as "unranked".

Some treasures are only worth a few thousand Hun Yuan Unit, but they are valuable to Immortals and will be classified as "Desolate Grade".

This is because the value of E9-class Laser Gun extends far beyond its physical attributes.

For example, purchasing them as protective gifts for beloved disciples or one's own descendants, even if they are very weak, can still kill a ninth-level World Lord level, greatly increasing safety. Naturally, powerful individuals would not be stingy in this regard.

Furthermore, the Laser Gun requires only simple maintenance and can Eternal Existence.

Lin Yan's mind stirred, and he looked at the [Unremarkable Opportunities] in the system, which suddenly became as numerous as the stars.

This is at least the debris and garbage from the Outer Domain Battlefield. Within a range of 100 billion kilometers, there are far too many things that could be useful to domain lords and World Master. But that's for ordinary domain lords and World Master. A few billion Cosmic Crystal would probably be enough. However, ordinary domain lords and World Master don't even have the qualifications to enter the Garbage Star Domain.

He glanced at it briefly, then shut down the system.

Such extreme examples are relatively rare, and even the most extreme opportunities to be judged as "unorthodox" have an upper limit and are not within Lin Yan's consideration.

"Wind Queen, let's find another place to stop."

Lin Yan gave the order.

The Emperor once again made Cosmic Shuttle, changing its docking point.

He did see some important opportunities, but they were all around ten thousand Hun Yuan Units, which Lin Yan had no interest in at all.

This is the third replacement.

A moment later, Lin Yan opened the system and immediately raised his eyebrows.

[Important Opportunity Discovered: Feather Snail Sky Gold!]

[One of the most precious metallic materials in the universe, used to forge powerful treasures.]

[Opportunity Level Determined: Wilderness Level!]

[Should we activate the opportunity?]

[Yes/No] (Domain Lord level Activation Count: 4/4)

"My luck is pretty good." Lin Yan was quite surprised. He had just arrived in this Garbage Star Domain and was already encountering such an opportunity. "Feather Snail Sky Gold? I hope it's a good omen."

"Star Tear Gold" is the pinnacle of G-class metal. For those at the level of Universe Venerable or even Cosmic Lords, the materials required for their treasures completely exceed the "A-G" grade metal classification.

Those materials are incredibly valuable; they could only have been formed in the Cosmic Secret Realm of the Primordial Universe, and many of them are completely unidentifiable.

For example, if an Immortal God accidentally obtains this "Feather Snail Sky Gold," then when the human race encounters an unknown treasure, they can connect to the Virtual Universe to explore it. This is the advantage of the human race.

Of course, there are different permission levels.

If you don't have enough permissions, you won't be able to find any useful information in the Virtual Universe. The more mysterious and precious the treasure, the higher the permissions required.

Or there are some treasures that even the Virtual Universe System cannot recognize, requiring the assistance of some extremely advanced instruments.

If it were Alien Race, without even Virtual Universe, identifying rare treasures in the universe would be extremely difficult.

If it cannot be identified, its value cannot be determined.

"There are countless remnants of the Outer Domain Battlefield, and the robots in the Garbage Star Domain only have a relatively simple classification system. They don't have the ability to distinguish this precious metal material at all," Lin Yan thought to himself.

He asked, "Wind Queen, has the value of 'Feather Snail Sky Gold' been determined?"

With Lin Yan's access privileges, searching for this information would certainly not be difficult.

"Master, we've found it," Wind Queen replied.

Lin Yan connected a wisp of his consciousness to the Virtual Universe, staring at the screen, which displayed a piece of information.

The image shows a translucent piece of golden metal with Green Silk Threads forming simple patterns. It is only the size of an almond and is worth 80 million Hun Yuan Unit.

"Not bad." Lin Yan nodded. "Let's see if we can find this 'Feather Snail Sky Gold'. If we can, then the 10,000 units of Zerg Corpse will be a free bonus for me."

He certainly wouldn't waste his chances on this, but with definite information, the search would be much easier.

Wow!

Lin Yan flew out of the cabin door.

He flipped his hand and put away the Emperor Ship, his figure transforming into a stream of light, quickly appearing in a Garbage Mountain.

"Wind Queen, turn on detectors 1 and 2 and keep them running normally. Also, turn off their shielding function and only maintain the self-protection of the detectors themselves."

"We are beginning our search across this area of 100 billion kilometers!"

"I will mark all the detected anomalous substances and then personally investigate them, mainly referring to the data on 'Feather Snail Sky Gold' in the Virtual Universe."

Detection instruments.

This item plays a crucial role in Outer Domain Battlefield, but its original purpose was to explore Cosmic Secret Realm.

At that time, Lin Yan purchased several sets of high-end detection instruments of varying prices in the Original Secret Realm!

The reason for having multiple sets is that there are too many clones, so several detection instruments worth around several million points were purchased as a precaution.

With his authority, the detection equipment worth millions of points is normally only available to King-level Immortal God.

The two most important instruments are the two detection instruments.

The Large Detector costs 2 billion points and can detect a radius of 300 million kilometers. It is estimated that only a very few Feng Wang expert are willing to spend so much.

The ultra-small detector costs 1.8 billion credits and can only detect a radius of 20 kilometers, yet the price is almost the same.

Because of its small detection range, its detection precision is comparable to those Large Detector with hundreds of billions of points. In other words, with this ultra-small detector, as long as some super strong people are detecting Lin Yan, even if the Large Detector cannot detect him, the small detector will know in advance.

Furthermore, if the shielding function is enabled, even a powerful being's divine power will be unable to detect his presence.

A total of 3.8 billion, with Lin Yan enjoying a 60% discount, is enough to bankrupt some Feng Wang Immortal God.

The surveillance instruments in the Garbage Star Domain monitor the entire star field, and even the strongest human forces cannot use overly advanced surveillance instruments.

Now that Lin Yan possesses such advanced detection instruments, he can find treasures like the "Feather Snail Sky Gold" without relying on chance or opportunity, provided he targets the right objects.

This would be impossible for others; Garbage Star Domain spanning millions of light-years would take millions of years to travel from one end to the other, let alone conduct a complete exploration.

The reason it's called Garbage Mountain is that the possibility of it actually containing treasure is very small.

Even if we find some ordinary treasures, it won't even cover the energy consumption of this high-end detector.

However, it is not difficult to narrow the scope to "one hundred billion kilometers" and have a specific target.

"Master, you are so clever!" Wind Queen said excitedly.

Lin Yan smiled.

Buzz!

The detection signal from the Large Detector quickly covered an area with a radius of 300 million kilometers, and began the search and analysis.
