Zhou Lin opened the email and carefully reviewed the mission.
Simply becoming a Great Official of the Frontier came with a reward of only a hundred thousand points.
Some Domain Lords in the Primal Secret Realm remained at this stage for a long time, even tens of thousands of years. Naturally, they could not possibly earn enough points from that alone.
Thus, the Virtual Universe Company also assigned various missions.
"Master, this mission is rather complicated." Within the Virtual Universe, the Artificial Intelligence in the form of a young girl spoke slowly. "It feels difficult."
Zhou Lin frowned and opened the email. The long string of text gave him a headache. After briefly organizing the contents, he discovered that he was being sent to deal with his own people.
The Virtual Universe Company's missions were basically of only two kinds.
Dealing with Aliens, or dealing with their own people.
Mission: Within the Luojin Universe Nation, there was an organization called the Myriad Gods Hall. Its founder was a Ninth Stage Lord of the Realm. They occupied vast territories and operated many illegal businesses.
Zhou Lin opened the detailed information. After reading for only a few minutes, he could barely suppress the fury in his heart.
"Damn it. They truly deserve to die!" Zhou Lin said viciously. "For maggots like them to have lived until now, the upper ranks of the Luojin Universe Nation are useless trash!"
He had always known that the Human Race engaged in slave trading.
But this Myriad Gods Hall had already gone far beyond the nature of slave trading. The regions under their control were incredibly vast, and they ruled over countless life planets.
Massively capturing and selling slaves was nothing. They had even specially built several planets for acts that outraged both man and god.
The starfields they had purchased were as cruel as hell itself.
Talented Planetary level and Stellar level cultivators were dragged away for brutal trials, like insects raised in a jar. Even those who survived would be trained into suicidal loyalists.
For a mere Realm Lord to act so recklessly, Immortal Spirits had to be involved behind the scenes.
They had bribed certain higher-ups in the Luojin Universe Nation, which was why they had been tolerated until today. The profits involved were so immense that even the imperial family had a share.
The Virtual Universe Company had issued this mission to assess Zhou Lin's temperament, which was why they wanted him to handle it personally.
"There are fifteen members in the upper ranks of the Myriad Gods Hall. You may have the guards around you capture Hai Yue, the Hall Master. You must personally deal with the rest."
This mission was also a top-tier chained points mission.
With everything added together, it could earn a full two million points.
As Zhou Lin read the mission briefing, an icy killing intent rose within him. He wanted nothing more than to slaughter the entire Myriad Gods Hall.
"Intelligence Department, immediately send me all information on every member of the Myriad Gods Hall's upper ranks." Zhou Lin promptly contacted the Virtual Universe Company.
He was already struggling to restrain his killing intent.
Zhou Lin had never considered himself a good person. He was equally selfish on the path of pursuing power, but at the very least, he was still human.
"It has already been prepared, Your Highness Zhou Lin. We will send it to you immediately."
A huge amount of information was transmitted over.
"Oh? Their Myriad Gods Hall will hold an event in three months, where they will collectively worship the Divine Lord?" Zhou Lin lightly tapped his fingers against the table as he considered something.
At present, these dozen or so higher-ups were scattered throughout the major regions of the Luojin Universe Nation. Breaking them one by one would naturally be the easiest approach.
After all, Zhou Lin was still a Domain Lord, while the weakest of those higher-ups was already a Domain Lord Ninth Stage. The rest were almost all First to fourth order Realm Lords.
Their leader, Hai Yue, possessed the strength of a Ninth Stage Lord of the Realm.
The first stage of the mission alone was worth a hundred thousand points. If he could personally capture Hai Yue, the leader, he would receive an additional fifty thousand points.
A Domain Lord Ninth Stage capturing a Ninth Stage Lord of the Realm alive?
One had to know that the energy gap between those two levels was a full thousandfold. How monstrous would one's law comprehension need to be to make up for that?
"I would like to capture him myself, but it would be safer to leave it to Aido."
Zhou Lin pondered for a long time before deciding that he should personally capture only the other Realm Lords. Hai Yue had operated within the Luojin Universe Nation for hundreds of thousands of years and possessed immense wealth.
The universe was vast. He might have encountered many opportunities.
In particular, his fortune was certainly considerable. Even if Hai Yue took out an E9 Laser Gun, Zhou Lin would not find it surprising.
If he could obtain a Realm God Level Body Refining Technique, he would dare to try. Otherwise, there was no need to risk failing in an unexpected place.
"Zuo Ke, quickly arrange a route. We will head to the Myriad Gods Starfield now and wait there. And stop talking to me in that girl's form, okay?"
Zhou Lin looked at the Artificial Intelligence.
"Yes, Master." The Artificial Intelligence reverted to the form of a young boy.
The guard army mobilized. If Zhou Lin had chosen to capture them one by one, the Intelligence Department would cooperate by cutting off the upper ranks' Virtual Universe communications.
However, he had chosen to strike on the day they worshipped the Divine Lord and uproot the entire organization in one blow.
The guards set out quietly, without alerting anyone at all.
"Aido, you will be responsible for capturing Hai Yue. Leave all the other Realm Lords to me." Zhou Lin said coldly.
"Your Highness, the hostility around you has been rather heavy recently." Aido's gaze fell upon Zhou Lin's brow and eyes. He could sense that nearly tangible killing intent.
Zhou Lin rested his cheek against his right hand, his brows tightly furrowed. Since he cultivated the Two Realms System, he was far more sensitive regarding Mental Will.
In the Chaotic Void System, Gods and even Realm Gods could die when their True Body's God Heart collapsed. Only by attaining Transcendence and becoming a Great Being could they escape this.
One's spiritual realm was of utmost importance.
Zhou Lin had not lived for very long and had experienced too little.
In truth, this was not limited to the Chaotic Void System. Even the Immortals of the Primordial Universe would develop problems after living too long.
Some would live until they became psychologically twisted.
Other Immortals, Venerables, and even Universe Masters constantly undertook life and death adventures, seeking pleasure amid the boundary between life and death.
They simply did not have the limitation of a True Body's God Heart. They only needed to occasionally remove the impurities from their memories and seal away certain portions.
Forget Immortals. Look at the lofty Universe Masters of the First Reincarnation Era. When facing the Great Annihilation, they would still go mad.
"Thank you for the reminder, Aido." Zhou Lin said solemnly. "I need to pay more attention to strengthening my Mental Will. When I have time, I should venture into the Illusion Sea."
"Your Highness has a very resilient character."
Aido praised, "It is simply inevitable that such matters would give rise to hostility."
It took only three days to travel from Luojin Imperial Capital Star to the Myriad Gods Starfield.
If Luojin Imperial Capital Star represented boundless prosperity, then the Myriad Gods Starfield exuded a sense of decay at all times.
The sea of stars was dim, as though shrouded in resentment.
"This is not even far from the Imperial Capital Star." Aido was quite knowledgeable, yet even he found some of the Myriad Gods Starfield's information disgusting to read.
The spacecraft traveled through Dark Universe at fifty times the speed of light for three days.
Converted to the Original Universe, that was only several million light-years. They had not even crossed several starfields.
"The spacecraft is absolutely concealed. This is Virtual Universe Company technology; even their upper ranks' detection devices cannot discover us."
On the screen, Zhou Lin's Artificial Intelligence, Zuo Ke, said, "Master, are we heading to God Star now, or waiting here?"
"Wait."
Zhou Lin said each word distinctly, "We will go on the day of their worship ceremony."
