On a remote planet, a Domain Lord abruptly rose to his feet.
"Three whole months without any news. Could Gu Suiting really be dead?"
He immediately began investigating. Since the incident that day had caused quite a stir, he soon learned the general details.
"Impressive, Xuanming Domain Lord! To think he's so powerful! It looks like he'll become a World Lord one day!"
"Gu Suiting really was something else... The master ordered us to hunt down Human Race geniuses, but he just had to pick a fight with someone too tough to handle. Bet he's regretting it now."
Once he had learned what happened, he said no more and continued carrying out the task his master had assigned him.
In the Dark Universe, Xingwu piloted the ship while Bai Yuan honed his combat skills with help from Long Qi and Aidas.
The two were the slaves he had carefully selected.
Long Qi was a dragonkin with some Thunder Dragon blood flowing through his veins. Two horns grew from his forehead, his Lightning Domain had reached the fifth level, and he was worth 8.5 billion Universe Coins.
To put that in perspective, a slave at the eighth level of the Universe rank usually cost between three and ten billion Universe Coins.
Long Qi's price of 8.5 billion meant that even among slaves, he ranked among the very best.
Aidas was just as impressive.
His domain was a little weaker, with his Wind Domain at the fourth level, but he excelled at Soul Attacks, which often caught his opponents off guard in battle.
Long Qi and Aidas were also deeply astonished by Bai Yuan's talent.
Though he was only at the second level of the Star rank, he had already cultivated his Gold Domain to the third level and his Water Domain
