Seeking Support, First Arrival

Dark Universe.

A triangular spaceship, over 300 meters long and wide, and over 200 meters high, was flying at extremely high speed. The spaceship's speed continued to increase, eventually stopping at 50 times the speed of light.

This triangular spaceship is made entirely of F-Grade Metal Chi Hun Copper Mother and is a spaceship specially assigned by Virtual Universe Company for its personnel to use on missions. Back when Yang Wu went to the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, he traveled in this F-class spaceship.

The lean, elderly Luo En can only be used during the time slot when he accepts a mission.

Otherwise, given the value of an F-class spaceship, it wouldn't be something Immortal Military Lord like Luo En, without any background, could possess.

"Your Highness, the spaceship has reached 50 times the speed of light. It will take nearly two years to travel through the Dark Universe to reach the Glory Secret Realm of the Universe Mercenary Alliance!" the lean old man Luo En said with a smile.

"Hmm." Yang Wu, already seated on the comfortable sofa, nodded slightly, then said with a smile, "I'll be troubling you with this trip, Mr. Luo En!"

While thanking the old man Luo En for escorting him, Yang Wu also marveled at the wealth and power of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Standard spaceships capable of reaching 50 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe are probably only something that giants like the Five Great Forces can mass-produce."

Since Yang Wu joined Virtual Universe Company, he has always traveled in F-class spaceship on every mission.

Of course, this is also because Yang Wu is still in the company's training phase. Once he reaches the Domain Lord Level and is sent to a Cosmic Nation to wield great power, he will not receive the same treatment as he does now.

The E-class Spaceship that Yang Wu bought before could only barely reach a speed of a dozen times the speed of light!

Even the 'Yunmo Planet Ship' built by Hu Yanbo, the Master of Yunmo Star Meteorite Star, at the cost of endless resources, is no match for the standard spaceship that Yang Wu is currently riding in.

"Perhaps I should get a better spaceship!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

At the same time, Yang Wu also remembered his original idea of giving his senior brother Natie, an F-class spaceship as a gift.

Ironically, the reason I had this idea was because Natie was envious of the F-class spaceship that Yang Wu was currently riding in.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!" Luo En quickly said with a smile, "It is my honor to serve Your Highness!"

Luo En had paid a considerable price to secure the task of transporting Yang Wu, and he had always intended to get closer to Yang Wu. However, when he saw the Flame Mark between Yang Wu's eyebrows, he realized that he had underestimated the prince's strength.

He had also gone through such a stage, so he certainly understood what it meant to gain the recognition of the Origin Law at the Universe Level!

"Your Highness has caused quite a stir in my Virtual Universe Company over the years!"

Looking at the Flame Mark between Yang Wu's eyebrows, the lean old man Luo En sighed, "Back then, I was also Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company's Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, but now, tens of millions of years have passed, and I have never seen a genius who can compare with His Highness."

"Ever since we parted ways, Your Highness, I have been looking forward to seeing you again. Now my wish has finally come true!"

"Oh?" Yang Wu was slightly surprised. "I didn't expect that Mr. Luo En had also spent time in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm?"

Although the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm cannot compare to the Primordial and Taichu Secret Realms, the geniuses within it are still among the best in the universe.

The lean old man Luo En, nodded, then sighed, "It's a pity that my talent is far from that of a true genius. After cultivating for tens of millions of years, my current Law Comprehension has only reached the Thirteenth Floor the Heavenly Bridge!"

"My strength might be considered decent in an ordinary Cosmic Nation. But within my Virtual Universe Company, there are countless Immortal Military Lord like me!"

Yang Wu remained silent for a while.

Luo En's ability to join the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm indicates his exceptional talent; according to the Genius Battle rankings, he would definitely be within the top 100.

Yet even such a genius was trapped on the Thirteenth Floor of the Heavenly Bridge for tens of millions of years.

What about Yang Wu himself?

Yang Wu's talent is indeed remarkable, but such talent is built upon his continuous improvement through simulated experiences!

So, will Yang Wu be stuck in one place for a long time in the future?

Is he Universe Venerable? Or Peak King Level?

It's important to understand that even among the most exceptional geniuses who can overcome the Heavenly Mountain of the World Lord Level, even those who have survived tens of millions of epochs, not everyone can break through to the level of Universe Venerable!

For a moment, Yang Wu felt a little worried about the future.

"Your Highness!" The lean old man, Luo En, looked at Yang Wu and suddenly said respectfully, "Although my strength is not remarkable within the company, my information network is quite good. If Your Highness needs anything in the future, I will do my best to help!"

Yang Wu was stunned!

At this moment, Luo En's words were probably meant to be a gesture of goodwill towards him, right?

Moreover, judging from Luo En's tone, it seems more likely that he wants to defect!

But why is that?

Yang Wu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

It's important to understand that even Yang Wu's Guard Army only served under him because they were on assignment from the Virtual Universe Company.

While Luo En's strength wasn't exceptionally high, that was relative. After all, he was still an Immortal God!

After all, no matter how talented Yang Wu is, he is only at the Universe Level at this stage.

But now, this Immortal God with the strength of a high-ranking military commander actually wants to take the initiative to align himself with Yang Wu?

In fact, even if Yang Wu's talent were astonishing tens of millions of years ago, Luo En would not have bothered to approach such a small Universe Level.

Tens of millions of years is enough time for Luo En's arrogance to completely disappear!

From Luo En's current perspective, joining Yang Wu's side now is actually the wisest choice.

If Yang Wu were to perish due to an accident in the future, that would be one thing. But if Yang Wu did not perish, he might grow into Peak King Level in hundreds of thousands of years.

When that time comes, as one of the earliest Immortal to join Yang Wu, his status in the Virtual Universe Company will be greatly enhanced. He might even be able to take this opportunity to advance further and become Marquis Level Immortal with Undying Body.

No one would refuse the offer of allegiance from an Immortal God. At least, Yang Wu wouldn't refuse right now!

Therefore, after Luo En revealed his intentions, Yang Wu's relationship with him became increasingly harmonious.

Of course, Yang Wu didn't consider Luo En as his subordinate at this time, but rather as an ally. After all, Ron was an Immortal.

For the next period of time, Yang Wu stayed in the rest pod to continue his cultivation.

He simultaneously comprehended the Law and cultivated the secret techniques, and two years passed quickly.

Call!

The crimson triangular spaceship traversed back into the Primal Universe, then rapidly approached the distant void.

"Your Highness!"

"That enormous star ahead is the Dead Star!" In the control room, the lean, elderly Luo En respectfully introduced, "This is only my second time here!"

Yang Wu looked at the enormous star in the distance through the outdoor simulation.

It was a massive planet with a diameter of 30 billion kilometers, shrouded in a thin gray mist, giving it a somber and desolate appearance.

The colossal Dead Star floated in the void, and beside Dead Star stood an extremely magnificent temple.

Although the temple was insignificant in size compared to the Dead Star, the vast aura it exuded was in no way inferior to the enormous Dead Star.

"Your Highness, that is the Huang Jian Divine Palace! It is said that many super beings from the Universe Mercenary Alliance cultivate there!"

Luo En kept sharing what he knew with Yang Wu, but as a member of the Virtual Universe Company, his understanding of the secret realm of the Universe Mercenary Alliance was naturally limited, and not as clear as Yang Wu's.

Although the Universe Level geniuses of various major forces can go to the secret realms of other forces to accept cultivation missions, very few people do so in order to save travel time.

After all, the Five Great Forces each have their own cultivation tasks, so there is no need to go to great lengths for training.

As Yang Wu and the other man were talking, the spaceship had already approached the massive Huang Jian Divine Palace.

Subsequently, Yang Wu and his companion were guided by a spaceship and flew to an extremely spacious hall.

Because Yang Wu chose a training mission that was not under the jurisdiction of the Virtual Universe Company, he still needed to report to the staff of the Universe Mercenary Alliance before entering the Dead Star.

After everything was prepared, Yang Wu boarded a spaceship and flew alone to the Dead Star.

Luo En also left the Glory Secret Realm aboard a spaceship. If conditions allowed, Luo En would have preferred to wait for Yang Wu to complete his mission and then escort him back to the Primal Secret Region, but since he had accepted a mission from the Virtual Universe Company, he naturally couldn't stay there and wait.

As for Yang Wu, if he can successfully complete the training mission on the Dead Star, staff from the Huang Jian Divine Palace will naturally escort him back to the Primal Secret Region.

Half an hour later, Yang Wu had already arrived in the atmosphere above the Dead Star aboard his spaceship.

The Dead Star, as its name suggests, is largely devoid of life. In those regions, signals emitted by Detector are completely disrupted, even cosmic coordinates are thrown into chaos, and danger lurks everywhere.

However, in a small region of the Dead Star, there exists a large number of life forms, and they are quite prosperous, including many Immortal God.

Therefore, the Dead Star is a place where death and life coexist, making it a very strange and extremely dangerous place.

The Dead Star's mission is simply survival and resource gathering, so Yang Wu's first task is to find an area with life and learn about the mission's details.

The Machine Race's spaceships circled the Dead Star at an astonishing speed, finally leading Yang Wu to a vast area where life existed.

After leaving the Yan God Race Clone carrying the Origin Core on the spaceship, Yang Wu, fully armed, quickly flew downwards.

This was Yang Wu's plan!

As long as the Origin Core stays in a safe place, even if his main body is killed, he will only lose some energy and ordinary equipment at most. As for the more valuable Auxiliary Life Kashi and Shaluo Flower, Yang Wu left them directly on the Yan God Race Clone at the beginning.

As for the Intelligent Life Chi Yan, Yang Wu left it in the spaceship. What followed Yang Wu was merely an auxiliary intelligence created by Chi Yan.

As he landed, Yang Wu was also thinking to himself, "Leaving aside the secrets contained on the Dead Star for now, I need to gather some information about the Origin Crystal and Origin Gem first, and then complete the other two cultivation tasks!"

The Dead Star is exceptionally large, so its gravity is incredibly strong; even Star Level powerhouse cannot fly on this planet.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Yang Wu fell from the sky like a shooting star.

Because the Dead Star was shrouded in gray mist, visibility was extremely low. It wasn't until Yang Wu was less than 20,000 meters from the ground that he could see the scenery below clearly with the naked eye.

Below, in that vast region teeming with life, lie mountains and jungles, with only the outlines of cities visible in some of the flatter, more spacious areas.

Soon, a streak of Flowing Light fell from the sky and transformed into a figure, none other than Yang Wu, who was wearing dark gold armor.

At the same time, an invisible aura entered Yang Wu's Sea of Consciousness, and he immediately felt a special aura influencing him.

Slaughter!

Destruction!

A powerful, Destruction urge seemed to surge within Yang Wu.

"Is this the effect of the Dead Qi within the Dead Star? However, it's nothing to me!" Yang Wu's will and state of mind are now extremely extraordinary, so he was naturally unaffected.

Yang Wu continuously sensed that invisible aura. Although it was also about killing, the aura here was different from that in the Xueluo Continent.

The atmosphere in the Xueluo Continent is one that drives people to kill for the sake of killing, but the killing here is for Destruction — the Destruction of all life.

Roar! Roar!

Just then, several beast roars sounded around Yang Wu, and then several monsters appeared around Yang Wu, rushing towards Yang Wu madly.

"A demonic beast? No, a ferocious beast!"

Yang Wu frowned slightly.

The monsters charging towards him should have been intelligent beasts, but they had turned into mindless ferocious creatures.

The difference between a demon beast and a ferocious beast is only one word, but their natures are completely different.

Among them, the demonic beasts possess intelligence, while the ferocious beasts can only act on instinct.

The monsters on Earth before belonged to the category of demonic beasts, because as their strength increased, Planetary Level monsters became no less intelligent than ordinary people.

These monsters, though stronger than Planetary Level, have lost their intelligence and can only act on instinct.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, a crimson spear appeared in Yang Wu's hand.

Then several spear flashes appeared, each aimed at the vital points of the ferocious beasts that were besieging Yang Wu.

The strongest of these ferocious beasts was only a Universe Level beast, so how could it possibly withstand Yang Wu's attack?

Almost instantly, they were all killed by Yang Wu.

"These demonic beasts have transformed into ferocious beasts. Could it be due to the influence of that invisible force?" Yang Wu wondered to himself.

The invisible force he sensed was peculiar, but not powerful enough to affect life forms at the Universe Level or above!
