Flying toward the African continent, Ye Chen tightly held A-Zhui around the waist. Glancing at Angel Yan's smiling face beside him, he couldn't help clenching his fists.
So what if he couldn't fly? What was so funny about that?
Still, he made up his mind. He had to find a way to obtain a flying skill in the future. Otherwise, having his wife carry him every time they flew would be too embarrassing for an emperor of his stature.
At this thought, Ye Chen opened the system panel.
Host: Ye Chen. Lifespan: 258/10000. Physique: First-Generation Human King Body. Equipment: Crimson Firmament, Silver Moon. Civilization: Yanhuang Empire. Civilization Level: Level 0.6 Home Star Civilization. Civilization Points: 960,000.
After upgrading to the First-Generation Human King Body, his lifespan had skyrocketed from the original 1,500 years to 10,000 years. Only now could he truly be called an emperor who would reign for ten thousand years.
His next goal was to strive toward a lifespan of tens of millions of years, and ultimately, eternity.
"System, are there any cost-effective flying items in the shop? Recommend a few to me. Or what level do I need to reach before I can fly?"
After sinking his mind into the system, Ye Chen asked directly.
"Host, considering the rules of this universe and overall cost-effectiveness, Dark Energy and the Star Energy spread throughout the universe are the most abundant resources in this world.
"Therefore, the host can purchase a star core from the system shop and refine it into the body. This will grant him part of a planet's abilities, such as controlling a portion of a planet's gravity and walking through the air.
"Furthermore, because a star core is produced when a planet shatters, it naturally possesses the ability to attract Star Energy and distort space.
"Therefore, a star core can continuously absorb Star Energy and Dark Energy from the universe to supply the host with energy. In other words, the host will be carrying an inexhaustible power bank, so he won't have to worry about running out of energy.
"The host can also devour more star cores in the future to strengthen the star core within his body. Once it reaches Stellar Grade, the host himself will be equivalent to a large humanoid celestial body.
"At that point, shattering stars with a single punch and casually distorting space-time to open wormholes and perform space jumps will all be easy..."
Listening to the system's cold, mechanical voice, Ye Chen felt that its words were packed with salesmanship.
Fine, he admitted that the system had hooked him with its promises of shattering stars with one punch, casually opening wormholes, and crossing billions of light-years in an instant.
At this thought, Ye Chen couldn't help smiling. After all, he himself was a master swindler.
Now, the system was no less of a swindler than he was. With the two of them bound together, all he could say was that birds of a feather flocked together.
Although he knew that reaching the humanoid celestial body realm the system had described would certainly be difficult, he was willing to give it a try.
Because that realm was truly enticing.
Ye Chen then found the star core section in the system shop and discovered that the prices varied according to size and grade.
Star cores were divided into four grades, from lowest to highest: Planetary Grade, Stellar Grade, Black Hole Grade, and Cosmos Grade.
Looking at the prices, the corner of Ye Chen's mouth twitched. They were damn expensive. Even the cheapest Planetary Grade star core cost 100,000 Civilization Points.
But after thinking about how this was the core of a planet, Ye Chen suddenly felt that the price was acceptable.
After all, if this thing were too cheap, wouldn't that make star cores seem lacking in prestige?
Looking at the star cores, Ye Chen ultimately chose one worth 300,000 Civilization Points. It came from a planet named Hai Lan Star, which was approximately 1.2 times the size of Blue Star.
After he exchanged for it, the star core immediately appeared inside his portable space. As soon as the fist-sized star core appeared, it attracted every item in the space toward it.
Then, the powerful gravity inherent to the star core instantly twisted his clothes and all the other miscellaneous objects in the portable space into nothingness.
In the end, only a few items in the entire portable space remained unharmed.
Seeing this, the corner of Ye Chen's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected this thing to be so powerful.
But then he remembered that he would soon be refining it into his body. Well, this was truly wonderful.
He wasn't afraid of it being powerful. He was only afraid it would be useless; otherwise, wouldn't his 300,000 points have gone to waste?
"Scum Su Ma Li?!"
At that moment, Ye Chen suddenly heard A-Zhui's voice and immediately looked over.
Sure enough, the person flying through the distant sky was none other than the scum Su Ma Li they had been heading out to deal with.
He hadn't expected to encounter this fellow halfway there. Judging by his direction, though, he had probably been drawn over by the commotion Ye Chen had just caused.
At this thought, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth lifted. This was truly like searching everywhere without finding anything, only to stumble upon it by chance. This would save them the trouble of going after him.
Opposite them.
Su Ma Li was startled when he saw A-Zhui flying toward him. But after realizing that they were merely two new-generation little angels, he immediately relaxed.
He then released his Dark Sacred Silver throwing knives. They circled around him, flying nimbly with the movements of his fingers.
When he saw that the fellow wasn't fleeing, Ye Chen immediately understood. Su Ma Li had probably stayed on Blue Star for too long, and his thinking was still stuck in the ancient era.
Or perhaps he simply looked down on the new-generation angels of the present. If the ones standing there now were those veteran angels, would Su Ma Li still be so calm?
Every veteran angel who had survived the ancient era had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Each and every one of them was a born killer.
When Angel Yan saw Su Ma Li, her wings shook behind her, and she shot toward him.
The moment the two sides clashed, Su Ma Li sensed that something was wrong, because Angel Yan seemed to be just a tiny bit too strong.
If not for the assistance of his Dark Sacred Silver throwing knives, he wouldn't have lasted more than a few moves before losing.
In the distance, Ye Chen saw Angel Yan charge out. With the system's after-sales service, he instantly refined the star core into his body.
As the star core entered his body, a strange sensation washed over him. He felt the planet's gravitational restraints vanish. Releasing A-Zhui's hand, he immediately stood steadily in the air.
After refining the star core, he gained part of its abilities and naturally mastered a portion of planetary gravity.
At that moment, standing in the air felt exactly like standing on level ground, without the slightest discomfort.
Seeing the astonishment in A-Zhui's eyes, Ye Chen smiled. "I'll tell you about this later."
After he spoke, Ye Chen took out the items he had specifically exchanged for more than thirty years ago to deal with Su Ma Li. The details had been mentioned in Chapter 16.
Two special devices appeared in his hands. After he activated and pressed one purple device, an invisible layer of energy instantly spread outward, enveloping the space within a radius of several thousand meters.
This was the Space Lockdown Device, designed to prevent Su Ma Li from escaping. This time, Ye Chen intended to leave Su Ma Li with nowhere to flee, whether into the sky or underground.
Although with A-Zhui and Yan's help, the chances of Su Ma Li escaping were negligible, Ye Chen would rather spend a few more Civilization Points to ensure absolute security.
