"At last, I found it. Is this the Mechanical Race Spaceship?"
After arriving in the Bermuda Sea, Yue Ming conducted a carpet search of the entire area. It took him a full three days, but he finally found the Mechanical Race Spaceship in a corner of the Bermuda Sea.
Searching the Bermuda Sea so recklessly inevitably disturbed many monsters, even though Yue Ming had tried his best to avoid making a commotion. Left with no choice, he killed them all, including four King-level Monsters.
Yue Ming stood suspended in the air and looked down at the sea below. In the cold, dark depths, he could vaguely make out an enormous white shadow. It was a Silver Pyramid, standing an astonishing twelve hundred meters tall.
The Silver Pyramid was the Mechanical Race Spaceship, resting silently on the ocean floor. Compared to the Human Race's spacecraft, the Mechanical Race's technology was undoubtedly more advanced. Its rank could not be determined from its appearance at all.
However, Yue Ming had read the original novel, so he naturally knew that this was a top-tier E-class spaceship. It was also equipped with three Star-Destroying Main Cannons and nine E3-Class Laser Cannons. The Star-Destroying Main Cannons in particular were terrifyingly powerful—one blast could destroy an entire planet!
"Fortunately, this Mechanical Race Spaceship doesn't have an intelligent lifeform inside..."
This Mechanical Race Spaceship had belonged to a Mechanical Race immortal, but that immortal had long since fallen. Under normal circumstances, even if an immortal died, they would most likely leave behind an intelligent lifeform, making it difficult for others to take the spaceship.
Take Meteor Star, for example. Although Hu Yanbo had fallen, he left behind the intelligent lifeform Bebeth. Under Bebeth's control, even a World Master could do nothing to Meteor Star, because a World Master simply could not break through the defenses of an immortal-class spaceship.
Bebeth had said this himself in the original novel, and that was while Meteor Star was already severely damaged. If Meteor Star had been intact, the weapon systems of an immortal-class spaceship would have been powerful enough to threaten a World Master.
If Yue Ming had not remembered that the original novel mentioned this Mechanical Race Spaceship had no intelligent lifeform left behind and was later easily taken away by Luo Feng, he would never have dared set his sights on it. He would not even have considered getting close.
"I don't have an intelligent lifeform to help me invade the ship's systems, so it'll be difficult to control this spaceship. I wonder if I can sell it directly to the Chat Group Mall?"
Luo Feng had been able to control the Mechanical Race Spaceship because of Bebeth's assistance. Yue Ming had no intelligent lifeform, so controlling it on his own would be extremely difficult.
"Sell the Mechanical Race Spaceship!"
"Congratulations! You have obtained 85 quadrillion points!"
Yue Ming plunged into the sea and arrived beside the Mechanical Race Spaceship. He logged into the Chat Group Mall and sold it directly, then watched as the spaceship vanished into thin air. He had only meant to give it a try, yet it had actually worked.
"Eighty-five quadrillion points... I sold it a little cheap."
According to the Chat Group's appraisal, this Mechanical Race Spaceship was a fourth-tier item. A fourth-tier item was worth at least 100 quadrillion points, but the Chat Group Mall took a twenty percent profit, so eighty-five quadrillion points was about right.
But in the Swallowed Star world, this Mechanical Race Spaceship was worth over a thousand Primordial Units. If it were put up for auction, it could even sell for two thousand Primordial Units. He could use those Primordial Units to buy other treasures and then sell them to the Chat Group Mall, easily doubling his points.
Yet even if Yue Ming were given another choice, he would still choose to sell the spaceship now. He urgently needed points to buy Divine Sparks. Once he joined the Virtual Universe Company, this amount of points would be nothing.
"Once I return to Jiangnan Base City, I'll buy Divine Sparks and enter seclusion. I'll strive to cultivate the first level of the Water-Void Fusion Law before the Peak Genius Battle!"
With 85 quadrillion points, Yue Ming had more than enough for his early needs. Although he could not afford a High-level Divine Spark, he could easily buy Low-level Divine Sparks and Mid-level Divine Sparks. He could use the remaining points to purchase treasures and raise his Gene Level.
The main issue was that cultivating in seclusion in the Wilderness Zone meant constantly being disturbed by monsters. Every so often, he had to clear out the nearby monsters. It would be better to return to the base city, where he could cultivate in peace without anyone bothering him.
The only thing Yue Ming was concerned about now was that he did not dare casually take out Divine Sparks on Earth. Great Axe Founder would come to Earth in the future. Buying cultivation resources from the mall would be fine, but taking out Divine Sparks would inevitably draw Giant Axe's attention.
Divine Sparks were condensed and evolved from laws, essentially turning laws from intangible into tangible form. If Giant Axe discovered them, he would certainly investigate to the bottom of it. Yue Ming truly had no idea how he could explain it then. Ordinary excuses would likely never fool Giant Axe, City Lord of Chaos, and the others.
Therefore, Yue Ming had to solve this problem before buying Divine Sparks. Although the Human Race's upper echelons were said to be united, Divine Sparks were simply too important. With Divine Sparks, the speed of comprehending laws could increase by more than ten thousand times. There was no guarantee that other Lords of the Universe would not covet them.
Hadn't countless people coveted Earth after its existence was exposed? The Human Race's upper echelons were indeed united, but the universe was cruel, and strength was the foundation of everything. If there were truly fairness and justice, there would not be so many slaves. Before he possessed the strength to protect himself, Divine Sparks absolutely could not be exposed.
"It's already November!"
He had cultivated beneath the sea for half a year, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the end of the year. According to the plot of Swallowed Star, Luo Feng should have become a martial artist and joined Limit Martial Hall. He was probably training in the Wilderness Zone with the Fire Hammer Squad now.
On the way back to Jiangnan Base City, Yue Ming logged into the Chat Group. He planned to check the Chat Group Mall for any treasure capable of blocking the time and space of the primordial universe. As long as he could block the time and space of the primordial universe, he could take out Divine Sparks without worry.
[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Tier: [Liu Ming, congratulations. You finally broke through to the second tier. According to the cultivation realms of A Mortal's Cultivation Journey, you should be at the Nascent Soul stage now, right? You can be considered an expert in A Mortal's Cultivation Journey now.]
[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Tier: [It took me one hundred and twenty years of bitter cultivation just to break through to the second tier. I'm nowhere near comparable to you, Brother Li. Mainly because my Golden Finger is too weak. You know what mine is—a bootleg Sky-Controlling Bottle. Other than increasing the age of spirit herbs, it's almost useless. Mine might be the worst Golden Finger in the Chat Group...]
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · First Tier: [Seems like I logged in at the wrong time and heard a secret I shouldn't have heard... Still, congratulations, Liu Ming. You've already broken through to the second tier. Now I have the lowest cultivation in the Chat Group.]
[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Tier: [Haha, it's only a minor breakthrough. I'm sure you'll catch up soon. Isn't the Human Race of the Swallowed Star world about to hold the Peak Genius Battle? If you can achieve a good ranking and successfully join the Virtual Universe Company, you'll probably surpass me very soon.]
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · First Tier: [Getting a good ranking in the Peak Genius Battle isn't as easy as you think. There are countless geniuses in the universe. With my current strength, I'm afraid I can't even make it past the first round of eliminations.]
