At noon, on the edge of a beautiful lake surrounded by forest, sat a massive, magnificent estate spanning ten kilometers in length and width. At this moment, a rock-gray, saucer-shaped spacecraft descended from the sky, landing slowly.

Bathed in the sunlight, the spacecraft possessed an extraordinary aura.

The officials from the local Department of Commerce looked up, their expressions filled with astonishment as they gazed at the vessel.

"What an imposing spacecraft."

"This... this must be a C Rank spacecraft, right?"

"A C Rank spacecraft? Heavens, doesn't that cost over a hundred million Jialan Coin to purchase?"

"I recognize this model. It's the Jialan ZaKL6. You need over a billion Jialan Coin to buy such a high-level spacecraft." One knowledgeable official widened his eyes and whispered, his voice causing even more of a stir.

"Is that for real? Over a billion Jialan Coin? Even the richest person on our Moon River Planet probably doesn't have that much money."

Many officials couldn't help but swallow hard.

And this was merely the spacecraft the other party was traveling in.

The mere appearance of the ship sent shockwaves through the hearts of these high-ranking officials from the Department of Commerce, who were usually accustomed to looking down on others.

The total assets of the richest person on their Moon River Planet probably couldn't even afford one of the other party's spacecraft.

Regardless of their background, they were definitely big shots who could not be offended; this was the only thought in everyone's mind at that moment.

With a single word from such a person, even the governor of their planet might be forced to step down, let alone minor figures like themselves.

They had to act with the utmost respect.

Under the nervous gaze of these people, the spacecraft finally touched down. Whoosh. The outer hatch opened.

"Master, will you be going down to meet them?" Inside the control room, Su Ke was still sitting in his seat, and Lyumila, standing beside him, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"No." Su Ke swirled his wine glass and said indifferently, "I don't want to deal with them. Just send someone to dismiss them."

Outside, the officials from the Department of Commerce had been craning their necks, standing in a respectful posture for a long time. Just as they were feeling puzzled and anxious, a figure finally appeared in the hatch.

"Someone is coming out."

Many of them immediately straightened their chests.

One official looked down at the results detected by his Auxiliary Optical Computer. "Stellar Rank eight? And a Psychic Master at that." Shock appeared in his eyes.

It wasn't just one person in the crowd who noticed; everyone was struck with fear.

The strongest person on their planet was a Stellar Rank four Genetic Warrior. On an average planet, he would be an invincible existence, but in front of this Stellar Rank eight Psychic Master, he would likely be killed in an instant!

Is this the master of the spacecraft? Truly extraordinary.

The Stellar Rank eight Psychic Master who emerged lowered his head and swept a glance over them, his aura making their hearts tremble. "Our master has no time to see you. Leave one person responsible for the handover and explanations, and the rest of you may leave."

This terrifying Stellar Rank eight powerhouse wasn't even the master of the spacecraft? He was just a subordinate? Many people felt their hearts tremble even more as they processed this information.

They didn't dare to imagine how terrifying the background of the spacecraft's master was. In any case, crushing them would likely be effortless.

"Yes, yes, we won't disturb you any further." The blue-skinned middle-aged female department head, who looked slightly plump but was actually extremely well-fed, bowed and scraped with extreme respect, not daring to have a single extra thought.

"Anda, you stay behind and serve the honored guest well." She assigned one of her subordinates. "Be sure to be respectful. Do not let the honored guest feel any dissatisfaction."

"Yes, Minister, I understand." The official named Anda trembled all over and quickly replied.

"This is our new home." Having no intention of showing his face, Su Ke only appeared in the massive estate after the planetary officials had left, surrounded by a heavy guard of bodyguards.

The ten-kilometer-wide estate was built with extreme luxury, resembling a small city. Buildings stood in rows, every detail showing careful thought. Situated by the lake with beautiful scenery, it was like a fairyland and was the top-tier residence on the entire planet.

If it were in the past, he would have been very excited, but now, looking at this magnificent estate that countless people yearned for, he felt nothing.

Even the money spent to purchase this massive estate didn't concern Su Ke.

"Lyumila, arrange for everyone to settle in and set up the estate's defenses." Su Ke gave the order. Beside him were two Stellar Rank nine powerhouses. Khair was a rough man, while Lyumila was meticulous, so she acted as his housekeeper, while Khair served as the head of security—one managing the interior and the other the exterior. "Also, to celebrate our move into our new home, let's hold a banquet tonight. Prepare plenty of good food; everyone is to attend." Su Ke smiled.

The official named Anda, who had been assigned to handle the handover at the estate, watched this scene in shock.

"So many powerhouses!"

The lowest-level slaves Su Ke had purchased were Planetary Rank nine, and most were Psychic Masters. Each one was stronger than him!

Not to mention those at the Stellar Rank.

Anda was kept at a distance, forbidden from getting close, and could only watch Su Ke, who was heavily protected inside, from afar. He could only detect through his Auxiliary Optical Computer that the target was an Apprentice level nine warrior... no, he hadn't even reached the Planetary Rank; he didn't even qualify as a Genetic Warrior.

"The master of these people is actually a little guy who hasn't even reached the Planetary Rank?" Anda was shocked and incredulous. "What kind of background does he have?"

It was too unbelievable.

The big shot looked about the same age as his son, An Tai, but their statuses were worlds apart.

At night, the estate by the lake had returned to calm. After the banquet, Su Ke returned to his bedroom.

Outside, there were layers of guards. With the power available on this planet, it was impossible to break through, and Su Ke felt very secure.

"Time to cultivate." Su Ke sat cross-legged on a cushion in the middle of the bedroom, swallowed several Dragon Heart Fruit in a row, and closed his eyes.

Surging life energy flowed through his body, while in his mind, Su Ke recalled the various keys to breaking through.

When he felt his state reach its perfect peak, Su Ke suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliant radiance erupting from them.

Hoo, he stood up and began to perform a series of movements.

His entire body began to heat up, and as he went through each motion, every single cell in his body seemed to boil.

The Gene Origin Energy that had been lying dormant and unabsorbed within his cells began to gather like tiny droplets of water.

The droplets merged into streams, then into small brooks, then rivers...

A surge of heat emanated from his entire body, constantly rotating and gathering, finally converging at the Dantian position in Su Ke's abdomen.

"Boom!"

Inside the Dantian, it was as if Pangu had split the heavens and earth.

The Dantian, which had not existed at all before, was blasted open in an instant!

The rotating Gene Origin Energy accelerated, continuously expanding and contracting, each cycle making it smaller in volume!

Su Ke felt his consciousness tremble, and his entire body shuddered!

Success! In the vast Dantian, a miniature planet appeared!

Su Ke had successfully stepped into the Planetary Rank!

And at the very moment Su Ke stepped into the Planetary Rank, his mind jolted. A mysterious power suddenly descended, and his consciousness seemed to traverse the dimensions of time and space, seeing many incredible things, but in the blink of an eye, he forgot them all, unable to retain them in his memory...

A line of pale gold text appeared before his eyes.

[Unlocked second innate ability: Cultivation Alienation.]
