"When can we leave?" Su Zhe asked.
"Anytime," Babata replied.
"Good." Su Zhe nodded.
"What a pity." Luo Feng, standing to the side, felt a twinge of envy.
His clone had not yet fully gestated. Given the massive size of the Golden Horned Beast, not to mention the risk of being captured if he went into space, simply fitting inside the spaceship was an incredibly difficult task.
"I reckon it will take another two years before the clone is fully gestated." Luo Feng sighed.
After receiving the genetic material from Su Zhe, Luo Feng had attempted to gestate a Blacklight Virus clone, and to his surprise, he had actually succeeded.
Gestation of the Blacklight Virus required three years.
It was slightly longer than gestating a human clone from Earth, but not by much, likely because Su Zhe's life gene level was not particularly high.
Su Zhe did not know what abilities Luo Feng's final Blacklight Virus clone would possess.
But it would certainly be better than a standard human clone.
"It's fine, just consider it me scouting the path ahead for you," Su Zhe said with a smile.
Luo Feng nodded; there was nothing else he could do.
"Then let's set off now." Su Zhe made the decision immediately. He had waited nearly a year for this day.
"Alright!" Babata was also very excited.
He had waited for such a long time on Earth, and now that he finally saw the hope of reviving the Black Ink Star lineage, how could he not be thrilled?!
Departure, to the universe!
It would take about ten days to travel from Earth to Qiu Long Star.
The ratio between the Dark Universe and the Original Universe was 1 to 10,081,000.
In other words, flying at the speed of light for one year in the Dark Universe equated to 10.08 million light-years in the Original Universe.
In this way, traversing the vast universe became quite simple.
This was Su Zhe's first time entering space, and he could not help but feel curious.
"External view simulation at 100%."
Su Zhe looked at the Earth behind him and the vast universe before him, a look of astonishment on his face.
"Just watch, you'll get bored of it once you've seen it for a while," Babata remarked from the side.
Su Zhe shook his head slightly. That was nonsense, of course; anything would become tiresome and boring after a long time.
"Babata, take a look at these items. How much can they sell for?" Su Zhe pulled several weapons from his space ring.
These were items Atkin had confiscated from the families of the HR Alliance. They were products of ancient civilizations—Force weapons—but Su Zhe did not know their specific value and had to leave it to Babata to judge.
"Hmm? Let me see." Babata became interested.
"One Tier 2 low-grade Force weapon, three Tier 1 Force weapons... Hmm, if you sell them on Qiu Long Star, that Tier 2 Force weapon alone has a chance to fetch over 100 million Black Dragon Coins, and the other three weapons combined should be worth another 100 million or so." Babata took a rough look.
Over 100 million Black Dragon Coins already possessed decent purchasing power.
A Star Level 1 warrior was only worth about 1 million Black Dragon Coins in the slave market, and there were even discounts for bulk purchases.
Su Zhe nodded upon hearing this.
These Force weapons were useless to him, so it was better to sell them for cash.
Once he had the money, Su Zhe wouldn't need to buy cultivation resources; he could simply go to the slave market and buy slaves to devour.
Not only would he be able to rapidly increase his strength, but he would also gain Devour Points!
Entering the universe would indeed accelerate his progress.
The year of waiting had been worth it.
The days spent flying through the dark universe were dull and tedious.
Nine days later.
The spaceship arrived at Qiu Long Star.
"Su Zhe, I still have 932 Ganwu Coins here," Babata said. "At a 1:1000 exchange rate, that converts to over 900,000 Black Dragon Coins, which is barely enough."
"Are you really going to sell all those weapons?"
"That Tier 2 weapon is a blade; it should suit you quite well."
"Sell them," Su Zhe said. "I don't really need weapons."
For Su Zhe, the best weapon at this stage was his own body.
There was truly no need to keep a Tier 2 force weapon.
He would worry about better weapons once he obtained them later.
"Fair enough."
Babata nodded.
Guided by the docking signals, the spaceship landed in the port of a silver city. It was packed with countless ships, both large and small, making this Black Dragon spaceship appear quite unremarkable.
"Su Zhe, bring out those two Flowing Silver Guards."
Babata instructed.
These two Flowing Silver Guards were, naturally, the ones belonging to Luo Feng.
In a place like Qiu Long Star, one needed Flowing Silver Guards to put on a show and serve as bodyguards, which could save a lot of trouble.
"By the way, Babata, how much is this spaceship worth?"
After leaving the ship and paying the docking fees, Su Zhe walked toward the port exit flanked by the two Flowing Silver Guards, suddenly remembering to ask.
"It's worth over 10 billion Black Dragon Coins," Babata said.
"That much?"
Su Zhe was startled.
"You aren't thinking of..."
Babata was interrupted before he could finish.
"Can this ship be sold? What if we sell this one and trade it for a different C-grade spaceship?" Su Zhe asked.
Babata sighed, as expected: "It is possible. This ship is crafted from pure Wuyi Metal and weighs about 2 million tons. Each ton of Wuyi Metal is worth 3,000 Black Dragon Coins, or about 3 million Silver Blue Coins. The raw Wuyi Metal alone is worth 6 trillion Silver Blue Coins."
"This ship has more collector's value than practical utility right now; a normal person wouldn't really buy it. Switching to an alloy spaceship would indeed be more cost-effective."
"However, how do you plan to sell it?"
"Furthermore, you are just a tiny Planetary Level; selling something of such high value would easily make you a target."
"Unless..." Babata paused. "You could use the bank account left behind by the master and sell this ship through the channels of the Universe Galaxy Bank."
Su Zhe felt a bit regretful.
It seemed he would have to let Luo Feng sell this ship.
"First, go register for citizenship, then open a Virtual Universe account and a bank account, and then go sell those force weapons of yours," Babata said.
Su Zhe nodded. Following Babata's guidance, he flew in a certain direction for several dozen minutes until he finally saw a massive city.
This was Qiu Long City.
The city walls alone were about 120 meters high, decorated with carvings of giant dragons. The entire massive city radiated a vast, ancient aura that was truly breathtaking.
However, Su Zhe did not care about such things.
Upon entering Qiu Long City, Su Zhe headed directly toward the office building of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire stationed on Qiu Long Star.
He planned to register for citizenship first before handling other matters.
