Mechanical Race Spaceship

"So this is it—the Mechanical Race spaceship?"

After arriving at the Bermuda Sea, Yue Ming conducted a thorough search of the area, finally spending three full days before locating the Mechanical Race spaceship in some corner of the sea. Despite his best efforts to avoid making a stir while searching so brazenly, he still alarmed many monsters and had no choice but to kill them all, including four King-level Monsters.

Yue Ming hovered in midair, looking down at the sea below. In the cold, dark depths, he could faintly make out a massive white shadow—a silver pyramid, its height reaching an astonishing twelve hundred meters.

The Silver Pyramid was the Mechanical Race spaceship, lying silently at the bottom of the sea. Compared to Human Race spaceships, Mechanical Race technology was far more advanced, and the ship's exterior gave no clue as to its grade. But Yue Ming had read the original novel and knew this was a top-tier E-Class ship, equipped with three Star-Destroying Main Cannons and nine E3-Class Laser Cannons. The Star-Destroying Main Cannon in particular was terrifyingly powerful—a single shot could obliterate a planet!

"Good thing there's no intelligent life in this Mechanical Race spaceship..."

This ship had belonged to an Undying of the Mechanical Race, but that Undying had long since fallen. Normally, even if an Undying perished, an intelligent life-form would likely remain, making it difficult for others to seize the ship. Take the Meteor Star, for example: though Hu Yanbo had fallen, he left behind the intelligent life Bebeth. Under Bebeth's control, even a Domain Lord couldn't do anything to the Meteor Star, because an Undying-level ship's defenses were unbreakable by a Domain Lord.

This was something Bebeth herself had said in the original novel, and that was with the Meteor Star in a battered state. If the Meteor Star had been intact, its Undying-level weapon systems would have been powerful enough to threaten a Domain Lord.

If Yue Ming hadn't remembered from the original novel that this Mechanical Race spaceship had no intelligent life and was later easily taken by Luo Feng, he wouldn't have dared to even think about claiming it, let alone approach it.

"Without an intelligent life to help me, it's hard to break into the ship's system and control it. I wonder if I can just sell it directly to the Chat Group Mall?"

Luo Feng could control the Mechanical Race spaceship because he had Bebeth's help. Yue Ming had no intelligent life, so controlling the ship on his own would be extremely difficult.

"Sell Mechanical Race spaceship!"

"Congratulations! You have received 8500 trillion Points!"

Yue Ming dove into the sea, reached the Mechanical Race spaceship, logged into the Chat Group Mall, and directly sold it. The ship vanished into thin air. He had only been testing the waters, never expecting it to actually work.

"8500 trillion Points... I sold it at a bit of a loss."

In the Chat Group's judgment, this Mechanical Race spaceship was a Fourth-Order item, with a minimum price of 1 quadrillion Points. But the Chat Group Mall took a 20% profit, so 8500 trillion Points was about right. However, in the Swallowed Star world, this ship was worth over a thousand Primordial Units. If auctioned, it could even fetch two thousand Primordial Units. Buying other treasures with Primordial Units and then selling them to the Chat Group Mall could easily double the Points.

But even if given another chance, Yue Ming would still choose to sell the ship now. He urgently needed Points to buy a Divine Spark. After all, once he joined the Virtual Universe Company, these Points would mean nothing.

"Once I'm back at Jiangnan Base City, I'll buy a Divine Spark and go into seclusion. I need to master the first layer of the Water-Void Fusion Law before the Peak Genius Battle!"

With 8500 trillion Points, Yue Ming had enough for his early needs. He couldn't afford a High-level Divine Spark, but buying a Low-level Divine Spark or God Divine Spark was more than enough. The remaining Points could be used to purchase treasures to improve his Gene Level.

The main issue was that cultivating in the Wilderness Zone meant constant interruptions from monsters. Almost every so often, he had to clear out the nearby beasts. It was better to return to the base city, where it was quiet and undisturbed, allowing him to cultivate however he pleased.

The only thing troubling Yue Ming now was that on Earth, he dared not casually take out a Divine Spark. After all, the Great Axe Founder would eventually come to Earth. Buying some cultivation resources from the mall was fine, but if he produced a Divine Spark, it would inevitably attract the Great Axe's attention.

A Divine Spark was the condensation and evolution of laws—essentially turning laws from abstract to concrete. If the Great Axe discovered it, he would surely investigate. Yue Ming had no idea how to explain it then; ordinary excuses would hardly fool the Great Axe, City Lord of Chaos, and the others.

So before buying a Divine Spark, Yue Ming had to solve this problem. The upper echelons of the Human Race were united, but a Divine Spark was too important. With one, the speed of comprehending laws would increase tens of thousands of times. It was hard to say whether other Lords of the Universe wouldn't covet it.

Hadn't Earth itself attracted greed from many after being exposed? The Human Race's high-level members were united, but the universe was cruel—strength was everything. If things were truly fair and just, there wouldn't be so many slaves. So before he had the power to protect himself, the Divine Spark absolutely could not be revealed.

"It's already November!"

After half a year of cultivation at the bottom of the sea, the year was coming to an end. According to the plot of Swallowed Star, Luo Feng should have become a martial artist and joined the Limit Martial Hall. He was probably now training in the Wilderness Zone with the Fire Hammer Squad.

On his way back to Jiangnan Base City, Yue Ming logged into the Chat Group to check the mall for treasures that could block the Reflux Time-Space. If he could block it, he could safely take out the Divine Spark without worry.

[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe Order: [Liu Ming, congratulations on breaking through to Second Order! According to the realm divisions in A Mortal's Cultivation Journey, you should be at the Nascent Soul stage now, right? In that world, you're considered a top-tier expert.]

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming Order: [It took me a hundred and twenty years of bitter cultivation to break through to Second Order. I can't compare to you, Brother Li. It's mainly because my Golden Finger is useless. You know what it is, Brother Li—it's just a knockoff Sky-Controlling Bottle. Besides increasing the age of spiritual herbs, it's practically worthless. Among the Chat Group, my Golden Finger might be the worst...]

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming Order: [Looks like I logged in at a bad time and overheard a secret I shouldn't have... But congratulations, Liu Ming! You've broken through to Second Order. Now I'm the lowest in the Chat Group.]

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming Order: [Haha, just a small breakthrough. I'm sure you'll catch up soon. Isn't the Human Race in the Swallowed Star world about to hold the Peak Genius Battle? If you get a good ranking and join the Virtual Universe Company, you'll probably surpass me quickly.]

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming Order: [Thinking I can get a good ranking in the Peak Genius Battle isn't that easy. There are countless geniuses in the universe. With my current strength, I doubt I'd even make it past the first elimination round.]
