Highest Score Mission Issued (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

The palace that Ganwu Kingdom Master arranged for Zhang Dong was newly built, located in the most prosperous area of Imperial Capital Star, adjacent to the palace complex and less than a hundred kilometers away.

Looking at the estate before him, which spanned over a thousand kilometers, Gao Li couldn't help but praise, "Your Highness, the Kingdom Master truly treats you well. The location, scale, and price of this estate probably aren't cheaper than my spaceship."

There were many Immortals willing to spend a fortune on spaceships.

But few would be willing to buy such a luxurious estate on Imperial Capital Star. Even the estates of those several God Generals here probably weren't this vast.

The estate covered one thousand one hundred and thirty kilometers. On Imperial Capital Star, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, a single room here could buy a whole bunch of life planets elsewhere.

"The Kingdom Master really put in the effort." Although Zhang Dong didn't care much about such things, he was still somewhat moved.

The estate had beautiful scenery with pavilions and towers everywhere. Ganwu Kingdom Master had prepared everything in advance, and Zhang Dong's cultivation residence was even directly transported from the Ganwu Secret Realm.

After entering, Zhang Dong quietly said to Gao Li, "I need a favor. I want to acquire some life planets to spread a bit of faith, just on a small scale."

He remembered that when Luo Feng was surfing the Virtual Universe, there were GGs who offered to help manage planets under one's command.

There were all kinds of management models—dynasty models, clan models, religious models—so spreading faith should be no problem.

Faith power existed in every Source World and could circulate even at the lowest levels. It was just that the Primordial Universe made it hard to utilize, and no strong expert had specifically studied it.

"Alright." Gao Li was smart enough not to ask what Zhang Dong wanted to do. He simply agreed, split off some consciousness to connect to the Virtual Universe, and started purchasing a star system.

With an Army Lord Immortal throwing down a massive amount of money, he bought a star system in no time.

It was a system with an especially large number of life planets. Although Zhang Dong said small scale, Gao Li still carefully selected it to ensure a sufficient population.

Just a few minutes later, Gao Li smiled and said, "Your Highness, I've purchased a star system and chosen a religious model for cultivation. Do you have any other requirements?"

Zhang Dong was a bit surprised and paused before saying, "Use my image to erect statues. Let the billions of living beings worship me."

Faith power, traced to its roots, was connected to the thread of karma.

Hating someone was karma, and fanatically worshipping someone was also karma. A massive amount of karma coalesced into faith power. Absorbing this energy for cultivation would be very fast.

But being entangled in karma was not conducive to transcendence.

Of course, on the Boundary Heart Continent, there were no such worries. Matters that a True God Sovereign could solve—Zhang Dong knew how to use this karmic power to empower himself, even to condense a divine thought avatar.

"Yes." Gao Li waited half a minute. Seeing that Zhang Dong had no other instructions, he silently left.

Watching Gao Li's retreating back, Zhang Dong thought to himself that he was only an Army Lord Immortal. With how well he handled people and matters, being stuck at this level was truly a waste.

Once Zhang Dong himself became a true great power in the future, Gao Li would naturally ascend along with him.

After Gao Li left, Zhang Dong resumed his ascetic cultivation. Deep down, he craved power, and in a world where the strong ruled, he naturally had to strive hard.

He spent the vast majority of his time on cultivation.

Comprehending laws, researching secret techniques, and various secret arts...

When his true body was in a particular Source World, he only studied the fundamental laws of that world to avoid being disturbed by too much information. Only combat arts, secret arts, and secret techniques could be used universally.

Even something as basic as space was only a Second-Class Divine Heart on the Boundary Heart Continent.

But in the Primordial Universe, it was a high-level law. There were naturally many differences—the structure and application of space varied greatly.

For example, a King-level Immortal could teleport in units of light-years, but a god's teleportation didn't cover such vast distances.

"I think I understand why the upper and lower limits of gods are so wide." Zhang Dong occasionally spent time researching secret techniques, and even mixed secret techniques.

In the Rule and Mystery system, without cultivating powerful secret arts, one was indeed inferior to the Primordial Universe system in terms of raw power.

The reason Realm Gods were so terrifying was that they could compensate with ultimate arts and Realm God Secret Arts, but most gods simply couldn't cultivate them.

Those gods could only rely on secret techniques to amplify their power.

In the chaotic void's many cultivation paths, the Rule and Mystery system was also widely acknowledged to have poor divine bodies. That's why Tai Xu Heavenly Palace disciples often supplemented their cultivation to make up for their divine body's weakness.

So in terms of pure power, a peak god level only reached the level of an Army Lord Immortal.

With secret techniques and secret arts, it was a completely different story.

Time passed slowly, and thirteen years quickly went by.

"Beep! Beep, beep!"

The email notification sound from the Virtual Universe rang. He didn't like using intelligent lifeforms; he handled everything manually, at most using ordinary smart assistants.

Zhang Dong split off a strand of consciousness to enter and check the email. He had been waiting for a mission for a long time.

[Domain Lord Highest Points Mission.]

[The entire mission is divided into two rounds. The first round is worth 500,000 points, and the second round is also worth a maximum of 500,000 points.]

The mission didn't tell him the completion requirements.

It was as if no matter what Zhang Dong did, he would complete it one hundred percent—it was essentially a gift of a million points.

"I hope it gives me some slaughter missions." Zhang Dong continued reading. Faith power couldn't be gathered overnight; it would take at least twenty years to start drawing it steadily.

[Mission Content: Within many of our human race's cosmic nations, there are organizations dealing in the slave trade. Some of these organizations, while operating normally, cross the line, seriously violating cosmic nation laws.]

Seeing this, Zhang Dong thought he might need to act as a judge.

But the next passage said: [These high-ranking members who crossed the line have already received their due judgment, while the organizations themselves still exist. Now it is up to you to decide whether to completely eliminate these organizations or to eradicate the slave trade.]

[Once you make your choice, the mission will continue to unlock subsequent steps.]

"Huh?! A mission this simple?" Zhang Dong was stunned. He didn't understand why such a mission existed.

He had thought it was about judging a few high-ranking members, but it turned out he was to decide whether to put an end to the slave trade.

The slave trade—on the surface, the sums involved were astronomically huge. Every day, even every moment, massive cash flows moved through it.

Such a colossal trading market would naturally step on many people's toes.

For example, the high-ranking royal families of various cosmic nations.

But to the true high-ranking humans, these sums were a joke. Could a billion years' worth of it all compare to a single top-tier treasure?

The slave trade existed only because the human high-ups couldn't be bothered to deal with it. Otherwise, any random Cosmic Overlord could say a single word, and no one would ever dare to do it again.
