Living on the Imperial Capital Star (Seeking Follow-ups)

The appointment from the Virtual Universe Company takes time to process; normally, staff would have to come in person to confirm whether Zhang Dong had truly broken through to Domain Lord Level.

But due to various factors, these procedures were all skipped for Zhang Dong.

The process for high-level appointments generally takes at least a month at the earliest, and could take up to half a year at the latest, yet for Zhang Dong it was still very fast—none of the formalities existed at all.

Gao Li had only just organized the guard team when the appointment notice arrived.

Zhang Dong was startled upon receiving the email, but after a moment's thought, he understood: "Those high-level officials in charge of appointments must all be Cosmic Venerables; they should all know the inside story."

Dark Marquis Lord was his nominal teacher.

Just within the human race, being a disciple of Dark Marquis Lord was even more comfortable than being a disciple of Chaos City Lord.

Dark Marquis Lord was an extremely arrogant and domineering Universe Master. The Cosmic Venerables of humanity might dare to say Chaos City Lord was biased or unfair, but they absolutely had no guts to gossip about Dark Marquis Lord.

Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

A starfield over three million light-years away from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, a desolate and abandoned star.

Chi!

An extremely dazzling light emerged, illuminating the lifeless, barren planet, and then a pitch-black cosmic ship materialized, landing on the planet's surface.

"Divine Kingdom Teleportation, it really is a great perk of the Primordial Universe. Even after I become a World God, I'll have to get some immortal plant life for Divine Kingdom Teleportation." Zhang Dong sighed inwardly.

From the Primordial Realm to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom—what an immense distance, spanning countless star systems—yet Divine Kingdom Teleportation could arrive in an instant.

Otherwise, with the vastness of the Primordial Universe, without Divine Kingdom Teleportation, most of the time would be spent traveling.

"Your Highness, we've arrived."

Gao Li opened the hatch. This ship was also his, forged from F-grade metal, its material slightly superior to the Meteorite Star, and extremely valuable.

Although Gao Li was only an Army Lord Immortal, his strength was very close to Huyan Bo's, and he had encountered some opportunities. He was a smooth operator, adept at networking, and his accumulated wealth actually surpassed that of Huyan Bo in later generations.

"After all this wandering, I'm back in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom." Zhang Dong walked out of the ship and saw a towering figure eight meters tall standing a few hundred meters away. The figure was completely clad in purple armor, exuding a shocking murderous aura.

The visitor was none other than the Thirteenth Divine General of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

Seeing the Thirteenth Divine General, Zhang Dong was a bit surprised, but after a moment's thought, he knew it must be Gao Li's doing.

"He's quite meticulous in his work. Although his strength is a bit lacking, he's suitable for handling affairs." Zhang Dong had already made his assessment of Gao Li internally and didn't bother to mention reimbursing the cost of the Divine Kingdom Teleportation.

This was a good seedling for cultivating the Fundamental Law of Investment, someone who could help him handle many trivial matters.

The Thirteenth Divine General strode forward quickly, placed his giant hand on Zhang Dong's shoulder, and laughed heartily: "Good lad, you've really brought honor to your teacher."

The Ganwu Universe Kingdom was a subordinate kingdom of the Virtual Universe Company, so these Immortals naturally had well-informed news.

Zhang Dong had established a foothold in the Primordial Realm and was even said to have been taken as a disciple by a super existence—what glory that was.

"That's also thanks to my teacher's guidance." Zhang Dong smiled and said, "Teacher, during my time in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, I'll be staying at your place."

Although he didn't care about assassins, Zhang Dong didn't want to needlessly expose his strength.

If an Army Lord Immortal came to assassinate him and ended up being killed with a single backhand slap, that would be far too shocking.

A Domain Lord with King Level combat power?

If word got out, even the lone supremes would probably come looking for him.

Caution is the mother of safety. Zhang Dong just hoped a mission would come soon, letting him gather enough energy to meet the requirements for his next trip to the Boundary Heart Continent.

"You won't be able to stay at my place this time." The Thirteenth Divine General laughed a few more times and said, "The Kingdom Master knows you're coming back and specifically instructed me to pick you up. We're going straight to the Imperial Capital Star of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. He's prepared a manor for you in advance."

"..."

Gao Li felt his security plan was completely unnecessary.

The Imperial Capital Star of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom was already prosperous; there was no need to waste time renovating anything.

With the Ganwu Kingdom Master personally stationed there, what alien race would dare to cause trouble?

Zhang Dong was also startled: "It was the Kingdom Master's instruction? Teacher, then let's go to the Imperial Capital Star now. I must personally thank the Kingdom Master."

After all, the other party was a Universe Kingdom Master, a High Venerable in strength. No matter how strong or monstrous his own talent was, he hadn't grown up yet.

Since the Ganwu Kingdom Master was proactively extending goodwill, Zhang Dong couldn't afford to put on airs.

"That's only right." The Thirteenth Divine General waved his hand, grabbed the F-grade metal ship, and then performed a Divine Kingdom Teleportation, bringing everyone to a mineral planet outside the Imperial Capital Star.

Normally, when performing Divine Kingdom Teleportation, one had to be wary of other Immortals, but Gao Li was a member of the Virtual Universe Company.

Moreover, the Thirteenth Divine General didn't think much of a mere Gao Li.

An Army Lord Immortal, even if he had ill intentions, what could he do with a Divine Kingdom Teleportation?

"The Imperial Capital Star—other than the Kingdom Master, everyone else is absolutely forbidden from using Divine Kingdom Teleportation." The Thirteenth Divine General explained, "But it's still very close from here; a sub-light speed flight of fifteen minutes will get us there."

On this cold mineral planet, Zhang Dong could already see the Imperial Capital Star of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom—a colossal giant planet.

From the outside, it was also extremely beautiful, mostly green, with less blue (ocean) area, shining with endless light. There was no need for a star to illuminate it; the planet's natural cycle of light and darkness was enough to nurture all things.

Those nine First-Level Administrative Planets were nearly the size of a star, and the Imperial Capital Star's diameter was even more astonishing.

A full ten million kilometers in diameter!

A planet of such immense size could never form naturally—it was crafted by an immortal under the Ganwu Kingdom Master's command, using all manner of miraculous means.

Countless trillions of living beings dwell across the entire Imperial Capital Star.

The Thirteenth Divine General personally gripped the spacecraft, flying at sub-light speed for fifteen minutes before piercing through the Imperial Capital Star's atmosphere and entering the planet's interior.

Once inside the planet, the escort squad also emerged from the ship, forming a single line and flying closely behind Zhang Dong.

"Apprentice, this is your first time on the Imperial Capital Star, isn't it?" The Thirteenth Divine General pointed at a vast city and introduced, "That's the Imperial City—the most powerful members of the entire Ganwu Universe Kingdom's royal clan all live here."

The city he pointed at stretched a million kilometers from south to north, boundless in scope.

Countless towering buildings stood packed together, while at the city's center lay a sprawling complex of palaces, ten thousand kilometers long, rivaling a massive mountain range.

Zhang Dong felt little reaction and casually replied, "It is my first time here. Quite bustling, I suppose."

Having already spent time in Xiafeng Capital, how could he be impressed by the sheer size of the Ganwu Imperial Capital Star? Even flying at light speed, with his lifespan as a transcendent lifeform, he could never escape even a single corner of Xiafeng Capital in this lifetime.
