Whether to cancel the slave trade was not a difficult choice for Zhang Dong.
[I choose to abolish the slave trade completely.]
Deep down, Zhang Dong believed that this kind of thing should be abolished. If two planets went to war and the losing side was captured and enslaved, that was still understandable.
But more often, the strong personally carried out the raids, treating it entirely as an industry.
On an indigenous planet, the strongest might be no more than Planetary Level or Star Level. How could they possibly resist slave traders?
Even after the ban, people could still capture members of the Alien Race and make them slaves. If they needed bodyguards, they could hire them for a fee through the Universe Mercenary Alliance.
Not long after he sent the email, he received a reply: [Zhang Dong, you have a great and benevolent heart. Your mission completion rate is one hundred percent. Congratulations on earning five hundred thousand points.]
"..." Zhang Dong thought he might as well have been given the points outright. Why go to the trouble of assigning a mission? No matter what he chose, they would probably find some justification for giving him five hundred thousand points anyway.
The Cosmic Venerables who had learned of his break through the Heavenly Bridge knew he had become Dark Marquis Lord's disciple. It had even been rumored that Zhang Dong had the potential to become a Universe Master.
So the high-ranking officials who assigned the mission had a lot to consider.
They were nurturing Zhang Dong as a future senior leader of the Human Race, or even a future superpower, so the missions had to carry greater significance.
Talents who were tens of thousands of eras apart, like Bolan and the early Luo Feng, were merely being groomed as subordinate operatives.
There was no need to assign Zhang Dong some mission to judge slave traders or hunt down spies.
When judging slave traders, no matter how Zhang Dong handled the cases, would the Cosmic Venerable responsible for scoring him dare give him a low score?
And what if he encountered a Zerg Immortal Mother Emperor while hunting spies, like Luo Feng had? That was too dangerous. They absolutely couldn't take that risk, so they might as well call the mission complete after he said a couple of words.
[The second part of your mission is as follows: In a Cosmic Secret Realm within the Ganwu Universe Kingdom lives a subordinate clan that has joined the Hong Alliance. It is called the Feather Slaughter Clan. They have a prison where Alien Race prisoners of war and spies are held. Please travel to the Feather Slaughter Clan and kill ten Realm Lord opponents in the prison within the allotted time.]
[Killing eight will count as a pass.]
"Why is this so easy again?" Zhang Dong opened the list of ten Realm Lords and examined it closely.
He suddenly realized that the mission wasn't actually easy.
The ten Realm Lords had all been carefully selected, and their strength increased step by step. The strongest was on par with an ordinary Domain Lord Ninth Stage. To kill him, one needed comprehension at the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
The fifteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge was precisely the threshold for becoming a Marquis-level Immortal. Anyone who reached that level could certainly be considered a super genius.
One step further, and they could pass the Domain Lord-level Primordial Heaven-Reaching Mountain.
But Zhang Dong was somewhat puzzled. Was it really so difficult for the Virtual Universe Company to find ten suitable Alien Race Realm Lord opponents? Why go through a subordinate clan?
Curious, he began looking up information on the Feather Slaughter Clan.
With his current access privileges, he easily found most of the detailed information on the Feather Slaughter Clan in the database.
[The Feather Slaughter Clan joined the subordinate clans of our Human Race. They resemble humans on the outside, but the wings on their backs are made of extremely hard metal feathers. Their population is enormous, and all their elders are at the Universe Venerable level...]
[In the Feather Slaughter Clan's forbidden grounds is a treasure that greatly aids comprehension of the Time Law. Its benefits are even comparable to those of the Chaos Stele.]
Zhang Dong quickly browsed through all the information. He figured they probably wanted him to go take a look at the Feather Slaughter Clan's treasure.
Otherwise, there would have been no need to travel so far.
What he didn't know was that the Cosmic Venerable who designed the mission was on good terms with an elder of the Feather Slaughter Clan.
That elder didn't know the specifics, but he had heard plenty of the rumors circulating everywhere. He wanted to invite Zhang Dong to visit the clan and make his acquaintance, so he had arranged things this way.
"Fine. I'd like to see if I can raise my Law Comprehension to the sixteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge within the allotted time while fighting ten Realm Lords."
Killing those ten Realm Lords would be ridiculously easy for Zhang Dong now.
Those spy Realm Lords were no challenge. Even Realm Lord Ke Di couldn't beat him.
The Realm God Secret Art was no joke, but he planned to use only the laws of the Primordial Universe system. That was the only way the fights would serve as training.
Otherwise, one slap would kill even a true Marquis-level Immortal.
After deciding to go to the Feather Slaughter Clan, Zhang Dong waited patiently. The email said they would send a King-level Immortal to pick him up.
A King-level Immortal was practically invincible in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, unless the Ganwu Kingdom Master himself took action.
"Get ready. We're going to the Feather Slaughter Clan." Zhang Dong called Gao Li over. "I need to go there to complete my Highest Points Mission."
"Yes, Your Highness," Gao Li replied respectfully.
Zhang Dong also planned to go kill for a while first, gathering enough energy to share memories with his counterpart on the Boundary Heart Continent.
He wondered if his clone had comprehended the First-Class Divine Heart yet.
After Gao Li had organized the guards, he emailed the Thirteenth Divine General to inform him and ask whether he wanted to come along.
But the Thirteenth Divine General didn't reply right away. He seemed to be cultivating.
Half a day later.
"Hello, I'm here to pick up His Highness Zhang Dong. Could you let him know?"
A middle-aged man, over four meters tall, arrived at the manor gates. A pair of enormous wings spread from his back, each feather a vivid red that gleamed brilliantly in the light of Imperial Capital Star.
The middle-aged man didn't enter the manor directly. Instead, he politely addressed the Realm Lord guarding the entrance.
"No need to let him know. Haha." Zhang Dong emerged from the residence and took one step, appearing at the manor gates. "You must be King Huo Yi."
After cultivating the Primordial Body, his senses had become astonishingly sharp.
Within a thousand kilometers, no disturbance escaped Zhang Dong's notice.
King Huo Yi had first used Divine Kingdom Teleportation to reach the vicinity of Imperial Capital Star, then Teleported several times in succession, arriving directly at the manor gates.
Gao Li stood beside Zhang Dong without saying a word.
"I've come on Elder Xu Jin's orders to pick you up, Your Highness." King Huo Yi first presented several documents, then confirmed Zhang Dong's identity in the Virtual Universe.
Zhang Dong's status was too high, so the process was naturally more complicated.
"Let's go." Zhang Dong felt it was all a bit too much trouble. He had made such a stir among the Human Race that his standing was even higher than Luo Feng's after he became Chaos City Lord's personal disciple.
"Of course, Your Highness." Before King Huo Yi set out, Elder Xu Jin had repeatedly reminded him to treat Zhang Dong with the utmost respect.
The chance to form a connection like this was exceedingly rare.
If Void Ember Venerable hadn't happened to know the high-ranking official who arranged the mission, and if the clan hadn't possessed some worthwhile treasures for comprehending the Dao, where else could they have found such an opportunity?
If Zhang Dong's identity and potential became fully known, then forget the Feather Slaughter Clan, a subordinate clan without a Universe Overlord.
Even subordinate clans with Universe Masters would likely want to befriend Zhang Dong and invite him to visit their own clans.
