The Sun Territory, Mars.

A civilian Sub-Light Speed Spaceship is preparing to land in Olympus Base City Mars.

Passengers are queuing to disembark; this is the third group of immigrants to arrive in Olympus.

Atmospheric terraforming of Mars is now complete. In this high-tech era, with money, everything is easily accomplished, and atmospheric oxygen production technology is already very mature.

With air, the artificial cumulonimbus clouds have formed a virtuous cycle on Mars after a year of operation.

With the availability of water, artificial lakes began to form on the ground, and rivers and mountain springs gradually appeared.

Because no one has ever set foot on Mars, the natural environment here is excellent.

All government agencies on Earth have been abolished, and all affairs of the entire Sun Territory are now under the control of Lin Zhen's office. Earth has now become the core of the Sun Territory.

The major Base City on Earth are already overcrowded, and immigration is a last resort.

During this period, two small groups of Interstellar Pirate attempted to attack the Sun Territory, but upon entering the Solar System system, they were immediately detected by Interstellar Radar, and Orbital Cannon fired, blasting their small fleets to smithereens in just a few shots.

After two such incidents, the people of the Sun Territory realized the power of the Solar System in which their lord resided, and many began to Xuan Ze to migrate Solar System.

Currently, there are 80 million immigrants from Earth, and there are also 30 million other races that have opened up routes to other planets in the Sun Territory.

Olympus Base City, a Base City adjacent to Olympus Mons, the highest mountain in the Solar System, has now become the most prosperous area.

Hundreds of millions of people live here, and every day people of other races arrive in small spaceships, so the population is increasing every day.

The area within the original urban planning has been repeatedly expanded, and land prices have been rising rapidly.

It is said that the Earth office has proposed a plan to establish a second Base City on Mars, and the development of Jupiter has also been put on the agenda.

The only problem we're currently facing is funding.

Although the Sun Territory a considerable amount of taxes from the major planets, there are simply too many expenses, resulting in a deficit.

Nevertheless, people remain hopeful for the future of Sun Territory, because they have a powerful lord and believe that when the lord returns, Sun Territory will reach even greater heights.

"Brother! We're almost at your territory, aren't we?"

The beautiful little elf lay beside Lin Zhen, her big eyes gazing out the window at a parallel universe. Black and white light formed a grid, constantly receding and intersecting. It was fine to look at for a while, but it got rather boring after a while. However, Ling'er watched it with great interest.

"Yes, we're almost there. In twenty minutes, we'll enter the Solar System. Once we're out of the light-speed state, we won't have to look at this monotonous parallel universe anymore."

"I can't wait any longer. I want to see my brother's house, my sister-in-law, and my two little nephews."

Lin Zhen's eyes also showed longing. In order to give his family a surprise, he had not yet told them that he was coming back.

As for the issue of children, it was something he figured out himself. He was so wise and capable, and his two wives were also outstanding women; it wouldn't be unreasonable for them to give him two sons.

Lin Zhen used his Mental Power to enter his Space Ring and check his gains from the World Stone.

Before entering the Underground Palace Temple, Lin Zhen had approximately ten million Cosmic Crystal.

Inside the underground palace, Lin Zhen killed countless people and robbed over a thousand Space Ring.

After looting all the rings, he obtained approximately 15 million Cosmic Crystal. As for the rest of the miscellaneous goods, there was really nothing else that Lin Zhen could take a liking to.

Although they may not seem impressive, there are actually quite a few divine artifacts among them, and Top-Grade Sacred Artifact are practically everywhere.

Lin Zhen picked out some good and practical gadgets as gifts for her family, and didn't bother to look at the rest.

There were some martial arts techniques among them, but Lin Zhen had not studied them in detail. He would not learn the techniques of those people he could kill with a single move.

The most important thing is the Cosmic Crystal.

When that Cosmic Crystal boulder collapsed, Lin Zhen robbed quite a bit of it, obtaining approximately hundreds of millions.

But none of that mattered. In the instant the boulder collapsed, Lin Zhen unleashed a Black Hole Storm. The exact extent of the damage was unclear at the time.

Now that Lin Zhen has time to sort things out, she realizes how much she has gained in the final moments.

A Black Hole Storm swallowed nearly a third of the collapsing Cosmic Crystal!

According to Chris's estimate, the Cosmic Crystal that Lin Zhen swallowed at the last moment was worth about 45 billion!

This was a tremendous fortune, and even Lin Zhen, with his composure, couldn't help but feel his heart surge with excitement after calculating the figures.

This is truly a case of fortune favoring the bold. According to Chris's calculations, if they buy Adamantine, these Cosmic Crystal will be enough for Lin Zhen to upgrade to Planet Stage eight.

If we had another five billion, it would be enough to upgrade to level nine!

However, it's still a long way from upgrading to the Star Stage; it's still 50 billion short.

For this reason, Lin Zhen even stayed on Baichuan Star for a day and purchased enough Cosmic Crystal to upgrade to planetary level eight through the staff of Dimensional Universe Company.

Currently, there are approximately 20 billion Cosmic Crystal remaining in his Dark Star Space.

Lin Zhen took out a large piece of Cosmic Crystal, sparkling and dazzling, and held it up in front of Ling'er, saying, "Ling'er, isn't this pretty? How about I make you a necklace?"

Ling'er glanced at it and nodded slightly. "It's very pretty, but I don't really like jewelry."

Lin Zhen was turned away and asked somewhat dejectedly, "Ling'er, do you know how much this thing is worth?"

"How much?"

"This one piece contains over 100,000 Cosmic Crystal, worth 10 billion Qilin Coin. If exchanged for Sanjiang Coin, that's 10 trillion."

"Oh."

Lin Zhen was speechless. Ling'er was an elf who was born to love things like flowers, plants and trees and loved nature. She was never interested in wealth. Ten trillion Sanjiang coins were just a big number in her eyes, and she didn't have any concept of anything else.

This is somewhat similar to Yue'er's, and Lin Zhen doesn't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

At this moment, Ling'er suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother, could you give me some money?"

"Okay! Just tell me how much you want. As long as you name the number, I will definitely not refuse." Lin Zhen immediately felt that he had a chance to use his skills.

"Ten thousand yuan, in your hometown currency. I plan to buy some gifts for my uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, and nephew."

Lin Zhen silently lowered his head and rummaged through the pile of banknotes in his Dark Star Space.

He has over 100 billion Qilin Coin stored here, along with currencies from various Advanced Civilization Universe Country, ranging from 100 million to over 50 billion, collected from various Space Ring. He also has currencies from Intermediate Level Civilization Country, totaling several hundred billion, but the lowest level he has is the currency of a rudimentary nation like the Tianhe Empire.

Not finding a single piece of Earth currency, Lin Zhen finally pulled out a stack of the Tianhe Empire currency and gave it to Ling'er: "This is now the common currency in my territory, and its purchasing power is a thousand times stronger than Earth currency."

Ling'er took the 100,000 Tianhe Coin and put them into her Space Ring, then obediently stayed there.

"Beep beep~! Master, the spaceship has entered the Aurora Planet and is about to leave the parallel universe."

Lin Zhen immediately sat up straight. The spaceship descended to Sub-light Speed, escaping the parallel universe, and then entered Olympus Mons through a wormhole.

Upon entering Olympus Mons, it was immediately detected by the galactic radar system.

A beam of light swept across, and a delighted sound immediately came from the communication system.

"My lord, you're back!"

The speaker was Pirate Luo Ni, who happened to be in charge of monitoring parallel universes today.

"Hehe, Luo Ni, it's been over a year, how have you been?"

"Good, good, very good. It's just that I miss my master a little after not seeing him for so long."

"Haha! You've all worked hard these past few days. I'll go back to Earth, take care of things, and then I'll give you all your freedom."

With Lin Zhen's current wealth and strength, it would be easy for him to build a large army during the Star Stage. However, he would not neglect his friends and brothers who were weaker in the past. These pirates have been here for a long time, and it is time to give them freedom.

"Thank you, Master!" Luo Ni's voice was filled with excitement, but he continued, "Master, could you please not remove our identities for now?"

"Why? Don't you want to regain your freedom? Has something happened recently?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Something came up," Luo Ni said apologetically, as if he had something difficult to say.

"Sure, I'll take charge of everything."

"It's like this, Master. The former captain of the Black Pearl, Xi Lan Ke, has found my and Sha Ke's location. He said we should deceive you into giving us free status, and then act as his inside agents. When he arrives, we should shut down the Orbital Cannon and Fortress Satellite, allowing him to enter the Solar System."

"What does he want?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Of course, he's going back to his old ways. He's improved quite a bit recently and has organized a fleet to raid this place."

"Oh! Xi Lan Ke has such audacity, how strong is he?"

"When we parted ways, he was Star Level Nine. The last time he contacted me in the Dimensional Universe, he was already in the Black Hole Late Stage, so I'm a little worried."

Lin Zhen nodded silently; the enemies in the Black Hole Late Stage were indeed worth taking seriously.

If it's just the Black Hole Late Stage, that's fine, but what Lin Zhen is most worried about is if the Black Hole Late Stage breaks through to become Star System Stage, which would be troublesome.

Lin Zhen knows many people, but none of them are experts at the Star System Stage.

"When did he say he would come again?"

"He has some things to take care of right now, and he'll be coming around the end of the year. There are still eight months until the New Year."

"Don't worry about it for the next eight months, and don't tell anyone. Just tell the brothers to be on their guard."

"Understood, Master. Rest assured, we will never want to go back to being pirates."

Lin Zhen shut down communications and piloted the spaceship straight to Earth.

We need to find a way to deal with Xi Lan Ke's situation, but Lin Zhen just wants to go home and see her family and children.
