"When can we leave?"

Su Zhe asked.

"Whenever you're ready," Babata replied.

"Good." Su Zhe nodded.

"What a shame."

Luo Feng looked a little envious.

His clone hadn't finished gestating yet. Given the Golden Horned Beast's enormous body, putting aside the risk of being captured if it went into space, even getting it inside a spaceship would be incredibly difficult.

"Looks like it'll take another two years before the clone is ready."

Luo Feng sighed.

After receiving the genetic material Su Zhe had given him, Luo Feng had tried to create a Blacklight Virus clone. And, sure enough, he'd actually succeeded.

Gestating the Blacklight Virus clone would take three years.

That was a little longer than gestating an Earthling Clone, but not by much. Perhaps it was because Su Zhe's Life Gene Level wasn't very high.

Su Zhe had no idea what abilities Luo Feng's Blacklight Virus clone would have once it was ready.

But it would surely be better than an ordinary Earthling Clone.

"It's fine. Just think of it as me going ahead to scout the way for you."

Su Zhe smiled.

Luo Feng nodded. There was nothing else he could do.

"Then let's set off now."

Su Zhe made his decision at once. He'd been waiting nearly a year for this day.

"Sure!"

Babata was excited, too.

He'd waited on Earth for such a long time. Now that he'd finally seen hope of restoring the Yunmo Star Lineage, how could he not be thrilled?!

Off to the universe!

The journey from Earth to Qiu Long Star took about ten days.

The Dark Universe and the Original Universe corresponded at a ratio of 1:10.081 million.

In other words, traveling at the speed of light for one year in the Dark Universe was equivalent to traveling 10.081 million light-years in the Original Universe.

This made crossing the vast universe incredibly simple.

This was Su Zhe's first time entering the universe, so naturally he was curious.

"Virtual landscape, 100%."

Su Zhe looked back at Earth, then at the vast universe before him, his face filled with astonishment.

"Take it in while you can. Look at it long enough and you'll get tired of it," Babata said from beside him.

Su Zhe shook his head. That went without saying. Anyone would eventually grow tired of seeing the same thing over and over.

"Babata, take a look at these. How much do you think they'll sell for?"

Su Zhe took several weapons out of his Space Ring.

Atkin had seized them from the families in the HR Alliance. They were all relics of Ancient Civilization Ruins—Force Weapons—but Su Zhe had no idea what they were worth, so he could only leave it to Babata to judge.

"Hm? Let me see."

Babata perked up inside the spaceship.

"One lower-grade second-tier Force Weapon and three first-tier Force Weapons. Hmm... If you sold them on Qiu Long Star, just that second-tier weapon could fetch over a hundred million Black Dragon Coins. The other three together would probably bring in a little over a hundred million."

Babata gave them a quick appraisal.

A little over a hundred million Black Dragon Coins would give him quite a bit of purchasing power.

A Stellar Level One warrior, for example, was worth only about a million Black Dragon Coins on the Slave Market—and you could even get a discount if you bought several at once.

Su Zhe nodded at that.

The Force Weapons were useless to him, so he might as well sell them for money.

And once he had the money, he wouldn't need to buy cultivation resources. He could just go to the Slave Market and buy slaves to devour.

That would let him increase his strength quickly and earn Devour Points at the same time!

As expected, progress would be much faster in the universe.

The year he'd spent waiting had been worth it.

The days spent traveling through the Dark Universe were dull and monotonous.

Nine days later.

The spaceship reached Qiu Long Star.

"Su Zhe, I still have 932 Ganwu Coins," Babata said. "At an exchange rate of one to a thousand, that comes to over 900,000 Black Dragon Coins. It should just about be enough."

"Are you really going to sell all those weapons?"

"That second-tier weapon is a blade. It should suit you pretty well."

"Sell it," Su Zhe said. "I don't really need weapons."

At this stage, the best weapon for Su Zhe was his own body.

There was no need to keep a second-tier Force Weapon.

He could always get a better weapon later.

"Fine by me."

Babata nodded.

Following the guidance of the docking signal, the spaceship landed in the port of a silver city. Countless spaceships of all sizes filled the place, making the Black Dragon Spaceship look utterly inconspicuous.

"Su Zhe, release those two Flowing Silver Guards."

Babata gave him the instructions.

The two Flowing Silver Guards belonged to Luo Feng, of course.

In a place like Qiu Long Star, Flowing Silver Guards were useful for showing off and doubling as bodyguards. They could help avoid a lot of trouble.

"By the way, Babata, how much is this spaceship worth?"

After leaving the spaceship and paying the docking fee, Su Zhe walked toward the port's exit surrounded by the two Flowing Silver Guards. Suddenly remembering something, he asked.

"Over ten billion Black Dragon Coins," Babata replied.

"That much?"

Su Zhe was startled.

"Don't tell me you're thinking of—"

Babata hadn't finished speaking before Su Zhe cut him off.

"Can this spaceship be sold? What if we sold it and bought another C-class spaceship?" Su Zhe asked.

Babata sighed. He'd known it. "It can be sold. The spaceship is made of pure Uginium Metal and weighs around two million tons. Each ton of Uginium Metal is worth 3,000 Black Dragon Coins, or about three million Silver Blue Coins. The pure Uginium Metal alone is worth six trillion Silver Blue Coins."

"This spaceship has more collector's value than practical use these days. Ordinary buyers probably wouldn't want it. Switching to an alloy spaceship would definitely be better value for money."

"But how would you sell it?"

"Besides, you're only a lowly Planetary Level warrior. If you sell something this valuable, you'll easily attract unwanted attention."

"Unless..." Babata paused. "You can use the bank account the Master left behind and sell the spaceship through the Universe Galaxy Bank."

Su Zhe felt a little disappointed.

Looks like he'd have to let Luo Feng sell the spaceship.

"First, register your citizenship. Then open Virtual Universe and bank accounts, and after that, sell those Force Weapons," Babata said.

Su Zhe nodded and followed Babata's directions. After flying in a certain direction for several dozen minutes, he finally saw a massive city.

This was Qiu Long City.

The city walls alone stood about 120 meters tall, with carvings of giant dragons decorating them. The enormous city radiated a vast, ancient aura that was awe-inspiring.

But Su Zhe didn't care about that.

After entering Qiu Long City, Su Zhe headed straight for the administrative building where the Black Dragon Mountain Empire had established its Qiu Long Star branch.

He planned to register his citizenship first, then take care of the rest.
