Twelve days later.

The cold yet beautiful starry sky.

A pure black Black Dragon Spaceship and a silver-white ordinary Adventure Spaceship broke away from the Dark Universe and appeared in the Primal Universe.

"The Cangming Planet is just ahead," Babata's voice rang out. "It does look much larger than Earth, and its facilities are quite complete. It's definitely a good transit base; no wonder it's so expensive."

Since Yang Yu was already the lord of Cangming Planet, he directly drove the spaceship into Cangming Planet and headed straight for the planet's iconic Pampas Grassland.

Upon entering the atmosphere of Cangming Planet, Yang Yu's powerful eyesight allowed him to see the grassland thousands of meters away.

As expected of the Great Grassland, at an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, this grassland looks like a bright green pearl embedded in the continent below.

The grasslands alone cover an area of nearly 100 million square kilometers, truly deserving the title of "vast grasslands."

Yang Yu and his group's destination was the castle located in the center of the grassland.

This was built by the previous rulers, and now that they've left, it's perfect for Yang Yu to use.

As the two enormous spaceships landed on the wide lawn in front of the castle, the hatches opened, and thousands of slaves exuding a powerful aura filed out of the silver-white ships.

When the Universe Level Pat and Yan Hun finally appeared, their powerful auras were undisguised.

The steward in charge of managing this castle is the same Planetary Level Eight powerhouse mentioned before. He was left behind by the previous ruler and was essentially sold as part of the planet's package deal.

At this moment, this native, who was originally the strongest on the planet, was filled with shock as he looked at each alien whose aura was stronger than his own.

His original master was a Viscount of the Yinlan Empire, whose entourage consisted of only a dozen or so Star Level fourth or fifth-tier guards.

But among the densely packed powerful figures before him, his Auxiliary Optical Computer clearly showed that there were more than a thousand Planetary Level Nine experts, two hundred Star Level 9 experts, and the two strongest were even Universe Level!

Universe Level powerhouse, he's considered a big shot even in the Yinlan Empire.

"It seems the person who bought this planet is either extremely wealthy or incredibly powerful, perhaps one of those two Universe Level powerhouses," the old butler Garnet thought to himself.

But to his surprise, it was clear that the two Universe Level powerhouses were not the ones who bought Cangming Planet.

At that moment, the two of them were hovering respectfully in front of the pure black spaceship.

As the hatch, adorned with a black dragon pattern, opened, two ethereal and beautiful women flew out and stood respectfully before the hatch.

Then Yang Yu slowly flew out.

"Cangming Planet? Its gravity is indeed quite strong, almost ten times that of Earth," Yang Yu exclaimed. Then, with a wave of his hand, the slaves that had been floating in front of him landed and stood respectfully on both sides.

"Planetary Level Six?!" The old butler Garnet was shocked. The two incredibly powerful Universe Level experts were so respectful to this mysterious person who was only at the Planetary Level Six, and so were the thousands of slaves.

This made him realize that perhaps the one who actually bought Cangming Planet was the young man in front of him who looked like a teenager.

Yang Yu approached Garnet and said, "You must be Garnet, the butler left behind by Old Pete Viscount. From now on, Cangming Planet belongs to me. You can choose to continue working for me, or you can choose to resign from your position as butler."

Yang Yu already knew something about the double-strength product in front of him when he bought the Cangming Planet.

Speaking of Garnet, he is considered the most legendary among the natives of Cangming Planet. He managed to cultivate step by step to the Planetary Level Eight using a mediocre cultivation method, becoming the Strongest among the natives.

"My lord, I choose to continue serving you!" Garnet, who was over two meters tall, with a strong and imposing build, but with an old-looking face and a few strands of silver in his hair, immediately knelt on one knee and offered his loyalty.

"Very well, then you will continue to manage this planet for me. I have no other requirements for you; just continue as before. Also, I will leave behind a group of slaves; you can ask them for help if you encounter any problems."

Yang Yu said.

Garnet served as the steward for the former ruler Old Pete Cangming Planet, for hundreds of years, during which time no problems arose, making him an excellent administrator.

Yang Yu didn't intend for Cangming Planet to make him much money; he just wanted things to remain the same.

With his extensive management experience, Garnet is undoubtedly an excellent candidate.

"Thank you, sir!" Garnet replied happily.

Despite Yang Yu's strength being only at the Planetary Level Six, he can bring such a powerful guard, none of whom he can contend with. Naturally, it's best to show his loyalty as soon as possible.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.

Garnet, who was well-versed in the ways of survival, certainly understood this principle.

"Very good, tell me more about Cangming Planet." Yang Yu said as he walked towards the castle ahead.

"Yes, sir. Cangming Planet is a resource-rich planet with a highly developed livestock and aquaculture industry. The Pampas Grassland mainly raise a type of cattle called the Qilan Cow, whose meat is delicious and juicy, and is very popular among the upper echelons of the Yinlan Empire and the Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

Garnet immediately and skillfully replied, "As for the more than 90% of the ocean area, it is home to a type of fish called Deep Sea Silver Fish. The flesh of this fish is also extremely special and delicious, and it is widely loved. Every year, special spaceships come to purchase it. Just from these two items alone, Cangming Planet can steadily earn more than one billion Black Dragon Dollar every year."

"Besides these two items, is there anything else special about it?" Yang Yu was no longer concerned about this small amount of money.

"Well, besides these two special products, there's another unique thing: in the eastern region of the Pampas Grassland, there's a Green Gold Vein with proven reserves that are astonishing, estimated to be mined for over a thousand years."

Garnet could tell that Yang Yu didn't care about the annual output of over a billion Black Dragon Dollar, so he quickly said something.

"Green Gold?" Yang Yu laughed. "Looks like my luck is pretty good."

As a metal that is slightly rarer than Darksteel, Green Gold naturally commands a higher price and is typically classified as B9 Grade Metal in the universe.

But being only B9 Grade wasn't enough to make Yang Yu happy.

Yang Yu spends some time every day learning about the common knowledge of the universe, also knows that once Green Gold Vein is formed, as long as the vein reaches a certain reserve, even more precious Green Gold Essence will be naturally born inside. If the vein has been formed for a longer time and has a larger reserve, then it is very likely to give birth to the most precious Green Gold Mother.

"Since there's Green Gold Vein, Old Pete Viscount shouldn't be so quick to sell Cangming Planet, right?" Yang Yu asked.

"Your Excellency, when Viscount put Cangming Planet up for sale, he hadn't yet discovered this mineral vein, so he wasn't aware of it before," Viscount said.

"I see, then I've gotten a good deal," Yang Yu said with a smile.

Green Gold is generally used to forge Tier 2 Force Weapon, Green Gold Essence can be used to forge Tier 3 Force Weapon, and Green Gold Mother can be used in Tier 4 Force Weapon.

If it were just an ordinary merchant or family that bought Cangming Planet and discovered this mineral deposit, it would definitely be a pleasant surprise.

However, for Yang Yu at this point, it can only be considered a small, unexpected surprise.

Enter the castle.

Yang Yu looked around.

With the help of the butler Garnet, Yang Yu moved into the most luxurious room, and the other slaves were also settled in an orderly manner under Garnet's arrangement.

The enormous castle, covering an area of over one hundred square kilometers, could easily accommodate this number of people.

After settling in, Yang Yu focused on his cultivation while waiting for the goods to arrive.

More than ten days later, the delivery spaceship arrived at Cangming Planet.

The C9 Grade Survival Base, the Starry Sky Reconnaissance Instrument capable of covering the Solar System, and the ten B9 Grade Orbital Cannons that Yang Yu had previously purchased have all been delivered.

After accepting all of these, Yang Yu left some slaves behind on Cangming Planet. These slaves included ten Star Level 9 Spirit Reader, ten Star Level 9 Martial Artist, and one hundred Planetary Level Nine Spirit Reader.

Next, Yang Yu dispatched Pat, a Universe Level 1 Universe Level Spirit Reader, to pilot another spaceship, leading 700 slaves to Bailan Planet, Kaku Planet, Helka Planet, Ocean Planet, and Cross Planet.

Leave the same number of slaves on each planet to manage them in place of Yang Yu.

The remaining slaves were temporarily stationed by Pat on Cross Planet closest to Earth, to await Yang Yu's summons.

As for Yang Yu, he took the remaining Yan Hun, fifty elite Star Level 9 Spirit Reader slaves, and fifty elite Star Level 9 Martial Artist slaves back to Earth aboard the Black Dragon Spaceship.

When Yang Yu returned to Earth, it was already more than two months later.

It was already May 2016, and quite some time had passed since the Grand Nirvana erupted.

According to feedback from the slaves who remained on Earth, some scattered Planetary Level Monsters have emerged in the seas, but these slaves have blocked them from entering Huaxia.

This prevented the Base City in Huaxia from suffering serious impacts.

However, in order to give the Chinese martial artists enough experience, Yang Yu did not have all the powerful slaves kill the invading monsters. Instead, he selectively let some out to create a sense of crisis in the various base cities.

This also allows Huaxia Martial Artist to receive effective training.

However, this has caused trouble for the other five major powers. With Huaxia intentionally standing by, the other powers are now under attack from Beast Tide. These Monsters are no longer satisfied with dominating the seas, and the vast land has also become their target.

However, they couldn't go to Huaxia, so the remaining land became the target of their frenzied attacks.

At first, these powerful nations could barely resist with nuclear weapons, but later, as more and more Monsters mutated and more and more Monsters cultivated to the Planetary Level, these nuclear weapons gradually lost their deterrent effect.

Most importantly, the Monsters that broke through to the Planetary Level all gained the ability to fly! Moreover, their intelligence increased significantly. They knew that they had to eliminate the leaders of these powerful nations first. After several assassinations, these powerful nations were plunged into complete chaos, and even nuclear weapons could not be used effectively.

Now, only Huaxia and Tianzhu remain as independent states.

The technological advantages of the America and Europa proved incredibly fragile in the face of the endless Beast Tide. Moreover, they were indirectly bearing the burden of the Beast Tide's attack, which should have belonged to Huaxia, making it even more difficult for them to resist.

According to Yang Yu's speculation, as long as the slaves continue to guard the borders of Huaxia and prevent even a Planetary Level Monsters from crossing, the Kingdom of Tianzhu will eventually succumb.

Yang Yu won't even need to lift a finger; after a while, the entire Earth will belong to Huaxia.

Having witnessed countless instances of entire races and planets being enslaved throughout the universe, Yang Yu was naturally happy to see these countries on Earth, which he had despised in his previous life, completely disappear.

After issuing another order to the slaves guarding the border, forbidding any non- Huaxia People or any Planetary Level Monsters from entering, Yang Yu returned to his home in the Jiangnan Base City.

This trip lasted even longer than the last one, but Grandpa Yang and Wang Lin weren't worried, since Yang Yu's strength had already exceeded their expectations.

Inside a luxury villa.

"Xiao Yu's back! Come, have a seat," Grandpa Yang said happily.

"During this time, I've come to realize my true cultivation talent. No matter how I train, I just can't improve my martial arts level. On the Martial Way Realm contrary, after consuming some of the treasures you left behind, my physical condition has already reached the peak of the War God. However, Wang Lin's cultivation talent is still quite good. He's currently undergoing trials in the Wilderness Area and isn't at home."

"No wonder I didn't see Xiao Linzi. But Grandpa, you're not bad either, reaching the peak of the War God so quickly." Yang Yu gave a thumbs up. "I've brought you a lot of good stuff this time, Grandpa, you can choose to break through directly to the Planetary Level!"

As he spoke, Yang Yu gave his grandfather a thousand Muya Crystal, along with many other resources and treasures that he might need in the future, and then sat down next to his grandfather.

In front of his own people, Yang Yu concealed all his aura, and apart from his unusually bright eyes, he didn't seem much different from before.

"Sigh, during this time I've finally come to realize my true talent for cultivation. Not to mention comparing myself to those Genius Martial Artist outside, I'm not even as good as many Martial Artists in Jiangnan City who have only been cultivating for a little over half a year."

Grandpa Yang sighed, and at the same time put all these treasures into his Space Ring. They were family, so there was no need to be polite.

"I heard from Chief Wang that Hong and Thor have both broken through to the Planetary Level recently and can fly directly! Other Genius Martial Artist like Jia Yi and Dong Nanbiao are also stuck on the final step of their breakthrough. Xiao Yu, the situation in Huaxia is much better than in other countries."

"My resources are many times greater than theirs, but my Martial Way Realm is not even comparable to many War General Level Martial Artist. Moreover, with the slaves you gave me, Xiao Yu, and the information about the universe I learned from the Optical Brain, I have decided to stay at home and focus on leveling up by consuming treasures. This way, I can live a little longer and won't cause Xiao Yu any worry while you are out adventuring."

"Grandpa," Yang Yu grasped his Grandpa Yang's hand, "With me here, you can become a strong person even while lying down!"

"I believe in you, Xiao Yu. Besides, not to mention the future, I am already one of the strongest people on Earth." Grandpa Yang laughed heartily.

Grandpa Yang wasn't wrong about that; the physical attributes of Peak War God alone would rank him among the top two hundred in Huaxia today.

Even though the major Base City had the Purple Light Dew that Yang Yu had given them before, the amount they could obtain was always small. According to the Military, there were only a dozen or so people in Huaxia who had reached the Senior War God, more than thirty Intermediate War God, and more than fifty Junior War God.

Even though Grandpa Yang's Martial Way Realm was only average, his physical abilities alone were enough to dominate the Wilderness Area, not to mention that he also had the slave guards gifted to him by Yang Yu.
