A Good Show Takes the Stage

Earth, over a region of the Atlantic Ocean. ¤ (¯´☆✭.¸_)¤ ¤(_¸.✭☆´¯) ¤

The dark, boundless seawater rippled gently.

It was 9:30 a. m. in Huaxia, but it was the dead of night in this region. Above the surging sea, two silver-gray spaceships hovered silently, undetected by any instruments on Earth.

"What a beautiful planet, azure blue, a breathtaking color."

Inside the spacecraft control room.

The handsome and dashing Pula, dressed in a silver Battle Suit, stood quietly in front of the control panel, looking at the seawater and the planetary projection of the entire Earth displayed in the virtual environment.

Outside the spaceship.

The Nuolan Shan Family fleet is currently proceeding according to plan, focusing on four aspects! The constantly busy members of the Nuolan Shan Family are continuously collecting sample data from the entire planet and sending it to the spaceship's database.

"Lord Pula, we've communicated with Earth's native monsters and discovered a strange sea area!" Two eighth-tier Stellar Level Spirit Reader reported respectfully, simultaneously pointing their Smart Optical Computer at an area ahead. "It's right there, and this area is the infamous ' Bermuda Waters ' mentioned in many Earth books."

Bermuda is too famous on Earth. It is mentioned in many books on Earth. The Nuolan Shan Family fleet also scanned almost all the books and materials on Earth, so they learned about Bermuda.

"Oh?" Pula became interested, checked the Smart Optical Computer, and found that it wasn't far from the spaceship. So he said, "I'll be there soon. Don't make any rash moves."

Before long, Pula's figure appeared in the sky above the ocean in the Bermuda area.

"Lord Pula!" The two eighth- Stellar Level- level Spirit Reader bowed.

Pula waved his hand. "Lead the way."

Boom! The three of them plunged into the sea and sank rapidly!

"Lord Pula, look over there." Not long after diving into the sea, the two eighth- Stellar Level- level Spirit Reader began to show excitement. Pula couldn't help but look closely as well.

In the distance, a massive white shadow could be vaguely seen. As it drew closer, the blurry white shadow became clearer. It was an incredibly tall Giant Pyramid, taller than any skyscraper on Earth!

This Pyramid itself shows no signs of damage or decay, not even mud or weeds.

Smooth and brand new!

"Pyramid!"

Pula's eyes lit up, and he flew closer, his hand trembling slightly as he carefully touched the surface of the Pyramid. Strangely, the entire Pyramid was silvery-white, without a single trace of metal alloy joints, as if the 1200-meter-high silvery-white Pyramid had been perfectly cast from a model.

"This, this, this..." Pula's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his body trembled. "This... this great treasure, this great treasure!" Pula's eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely excited.

Pyramid enormous silver-white Pyramid, suspended deep within the Bermuda Triangle, stands 1200 meters tall. Although it has been there for tens of thousands of years, time has left no trace on it!

"This is... Spaceship from the Machine Race!!!" Pula was extremely excited.

Machine Race!

Although the Human Race is hailed as one of the most powerful races in the vast universe, there are still some Human Race that can rival it!

The Machine Race is one of them!

To be precise, every member of the Machine Race is an "Intelligent Life." The entire Machine Race has developed technology to an unbelievable level! Moreover, every single Machine Race is an unparalleled powerhouse!

Unlike humans who need to cultivate slowly, Intelligent Life only need a powerful body to perform well, and their intelligence contains enough "combat techniques" to immediately make them unparalleled powerhouses!

Logically speaking, no matter how powerful Intelligent Life is, it cannot achieve immortality! However... the Machine Race has broken this curse; there are indeed beings within their race that are comparable to immortality!

"The Machine Race, the most technologically advanced Machine Race! 🎄🍓 ☮💢" Pula's eyes shone brightly. "Many of the technologies used by the entire Cosmic Human Clan were obtained from the Machine Race."

"Machine Race Spaceship are generally at least Class C, but I think this one is probably Class D, or even higher." Pula couldn't tell, unlike humans who have a more basic understanding of metals and alloys and can easily identify what metals and alloys are used!

The Spaceship built by the Machine Race are so complex that humans can't even begin to decipher how they were created. It feels like... like a completely new kind of matter.

Therefore, the D-class of the Machine Race is generally directly recognized by humans as "D9, which is the best in this class!"

A Machine Race spaceship is extremely expensive, costing far more than a human-made spaceship of the same class.

"The entrance, where is the entrance?" Pula shouted.

"Lord Pula, the entrance is over there! But it's extremely dangerous. We threw in some damaged weapons, and they were instantly shredded to nothingness."

"That's great!" Pula excitedly dashed over.

The entrance to the Pyramid spaceship is located near the bottom; it's a beautiful, seemingly mystical triangular passage. The outer hatch has long been opened, but it's impossible to enter.

"Test the strength of the attack." Pula flipped his hand, and a spare weapon he used in the past appeared in his hand. It was a very long rapier.

With a casual toss, the rapier landed in the triangular passage.

"Swoosh~~" The three-colored Flowing Light of the dream extended from the three walls of the triangular passage, and then swept across the rapier in an instant. The rapier, which was extremely sharp and tough, barely made a "swoosh" sound before turning into countless powders and then completely disappearing from sight.

"Great!" Pula exclaimed in surprise, "Even weapons with a C2 hardness were easily destroyed!"

What does it represent?

Even a normal second-tier Universe Level Fighter couldn't withstand this attack.

"The stronger the better." Pula's eyes gleamed as he threw out a second backup weapon, also a rapier. These backup weapons weren't valuable... the valuable ones were Origin Force Weapon and Psychic Weapon.

"Hiss~~"

This time, the rapier was affected by the three-colored Flowing Light, trembled slightly, and cracked a little, but the damage was very slow.

"A C5 level is hard to destroy?" Pula nodded slightly, his smile widening. "Very good, excellent."

The most powerful attack a Spaceship could launch would never be a passive attack on its entrance, because such passive defenses need to be maintained for a long time and are generated within the entrance passage, so they are destined not to be a very strong attack.

"The entrance passage is already this powerful!"

"This spaceship is at least a Class D! It could very well be a Class E!" Pula's eyes lit up. 👌💀 🐣👊

"If it's a D-class Machine Race spaceship, it's comparable to a human D9-class spaceship!" Pula was very excited; the leap between each class in this spaceship was exaggerated.

A cheap C5-grade weapon, with a diameter of 100 meters, costs several hundred million. A C9-grade weapon, even if it's made of pure alloy, would cost nearly 10 billion Black Dragon Coin! After all, C9's defensive capabilities are dozens of times stronger than C5.

As for level D!

Most Universe Level powerhouses and Sector Lord travel in such Spaceship. The first patriarch of the Nuolan Shan Family, Nolan Mountain, traveled in a D5-class spaceship, which cost 20 billion Ganwu Coin at the time!

d1, that's hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coin.

Even if it's an alloy, D9 is nearly a thousand times more valuable than D1! You could say... it would cost dozens or even hundreds of Living Planet to buy. Therefore, it's extremely expensive for a "Sector Lord." Of course... the price here refers to those with a diameter of a hundred meters.

Pyramid like this one, reaching 1200 meters in height, are comparable in rank to D9 pyramids, and are much larger in size and use far more materials. Their prices are even more outrageous!

It can be said that...

Most Sector Lord can't afford it!

"A D9-class ship, 100 meters in diameter, even if our Nuolan Shan Family went bankrupt, we could still afford it. But a ship that's 1200 meters tall... even the entire family's assets combined wouldn't be enough." Pula's eyes gleamed. "If this Pyramid were an E-class..."

"No, I must go back and contact the clan chief immediately!"

*****

"Captain!"

A green AI avatar appeared on the control room screen, and a crisp voice announced, "Data on Earth's strongest individuals has been collected!" Pula, who had just walked to the control panel, immediately brightened up.

Information on powerful individuals is currently the most pressing concern for the entire Nuolan Shan Family.

If the strongest person on Earth is stronger than their entire family, their chances of making a profit will decrease dramatically, and the profits they can obtain will also be greatly reduced!

Just like the warning Buluo gave to his family, which informed the Nuolan Shan Family and others that a Universe Level powerhouse existed on Earth, Nolan Mountain, the patriarch of the "Giant Axe Warrior," personally led his Nuolan Shan Family members to Earth.

If this planet, once controlled by an invincible powerhouse, now only has Universe Level powerhouses, and their strength is significantly weaker than that of their ancestor, the Nuolan Shan Family, then this planet would be at their mercy, and they could extract the greatest benefits from it!

"Speak!" Pula asked hurriedly.

"A translation program has been established between Universal Language and the native language of this planet."

"There are nearly 7 billion humans on Earth, of which nearly one million are at the Apprentice Level! And nearly one hundred Planetary Level! There are zero at the Stellar Level!" the warship's AI stated directly.

Pula was taken aback. Not even Stellar Level expert? He immediately asked, "What about Universe Level experts?"

On the control display screen, streams of data flowed across the warship's AI, before it quickly replied, "No information was found regarding the number of Universe Level powerhouses on Earth. According to available data, the number of Universe Level powerhouses born on Earth is 0!"

"Impossible!"

Pula's expression was serious, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. He looked up at the screen. "This is a planet once ruled by an invincible powerhouse! It's highly likely that some peerless powerhouses would emerge from such a planet! Moreover, we previously received definite information that there were at least three Universe Level powerhouses on Earth! How is it possible that there aren't any now!?"

"Who are the most famous top-tier powerhouses on Earth?" Pula pressed.

"Captain, the three most famous peak powerhouses on Earth are Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor! Their strength is all at the Planetary Level Seven. We haven't detected any signs of Stellar Level or even Universe Level powerhouses," the warship's AI said.

"Have you found any battle videos online of the Devouring Beast or the Golden Horned Beast cub? Or videos of the three strongest beings on Earth fighting monsters? Can you find any?" Pula's expression grew increasingly serious, and he immediately ordered, "Search in order of combat level, immediately!"

Beep!

A virtual projection appeared in mid-air in the control room, densely packed with countless small videos. The first one at the top was the video of Luo Feng killing Thunder Dragon Emperor.

Pula clicked on the first few videos but found absolutely no information about the Golden Horned Beast cub or any Universe Level powerhouse. Pula realized that the Earthling had probably prepared in advance and deleted relevant information from the internet.

"Fortunately, our ancestor has already contacted officials in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Even if Earthling have indeed entered space and have so much cash on hand that they're willing to buy all of Earth, they'll probably be intercepted by the imperial authorities."

Pula shook his head, thinking, "However, the number of powerful individuals on Earth is difficult to estimate. Could it be that Earth has already made contact with the universe? Otherwise, based solely on the existing data, it's impossible for Universe Level powerhouse to exist on Earth!"

"Captain, we've discovered some video footage showing what appears to be Golden Horned Beast cub," the warship's AI reported again, while simultaneously projecting the video onto a virtual screen.

The video footage appears to be above a residential building, where a monster over 180 meters long and resembling a lion is seen. Its body is covered with black scales the size of houses, each with a sharp, razor-sharp edge. It also has a pair of wings that, when spread out, are 200 meters wide and covered with black scales, seemingly forged from steel!

A lone horn, proudly poised to pierce the sky!

Golden patterns were wrapped around its black horn, spreading from the horn to its neck, then to its entire back, and finally to its tail! It was as if it were wearing a suit of armor made of gold and black.

What's most chilling is its pair of dark gold eyes!

A pair of enormous, dark golden eyes, like the eyes of a god, surveyed the world below! A fierce savagery lurked within them, cold and tyrannical! A raging fury was palpable!

With a pair of forelegs, it swung down several, even dozens, of golden beams, instantly filling the sky above the city with a mixture of explosions and screams. Looking down at the city below, its cold eyes held a frenzied rage after venting its anger, before it suddenly looked up!

"Woo~~" A high-pitched and terrifying roar resounded, causing the air to vibrate and creating a visible shockwave! It seemed to be declaring its inviolable dignity!

The video abruptly ends!

"It's it! It's the cub of the Golden Horned Beast! The Golden Horned Beast cub really did appear on Earth!" Pula couldn't help but show an excited smile, but then he thought of the few missing Universe Level powerhouses, and his expression froze.

"Forget it, let's leave these matters to the teacher to decide!"

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

In a large hall, Pula stood respectfully in the center, with a screen appearing in front of him. On the screen was Yuke Nolan Mountain, the current patriarch of Nolan Mountain.

"Teacher!" Pula exclaimed excitedly, "We've discovered a Machine Race spaceship in Earth's oceans!"

"The Machine Race?" The clan leader on the screen was also stunned.

"Yes, teacher, and that Machine Race spaceship is 1200 meters tall, at least a D-class," Pula said.

Grade D, that's the vehicle most Sector Lord possess! You can imagine how expensive it is.

Moreover, it's the most popular and expensive Machine Race ship in the D-class, and it's a whopping 1200 meters tall!

"This, this..." Yuke Nolan Mountain's eyes also lit up.

"Teacher," Pula said, "Not only that, we discovered on Earth... the Golden Horned Beast cub that Buluo mentioned back then truly exists! Of course, this Golden Horned Beast was only at the Stellar Level One at the time, and had not yet grown to the Universe Level!"

"A cub of the Golden Horned Beast?" Yuke Nolan Mountain was shocked.

A live Golden Horned Beast cub would be worth many times more than a D-class Machine Race spaceship!

Perhaps only an E-class Machine Race ship can compare to a Golden Horned Beast cub.

However... for the Nuolan Shan Family, those are enormous treasures!

"However, news of the Golden Horned Beast cub is well hidden. In the existing information, we can only find some traces of its appearance on Earth. We don't know if it was secretly captured by those Universe Level powerhouses!"

"Moreover, those Universe Level powerhouses are very well hidden; not even a trace of them could be detected in Earth's network," Pula said.

"Can't find it?" Yu Ke's eyes widened, then he took a deep breath, realizing he had lost his composure. He then stared at Pula, "Pula, how's the data sampling going?"

"I was just about to report that data sampling and other tasks are basically complete," Pula said.

"Very good!"

Yu Ke's eyes gleamed. "Immediately dispatch a small spaceship with this data, samples, and your interstellar coordinates to Biyan Star. Apply to purchase this planet. This planet belongs to our Nuolan Shan Family! Absolutely, absolutely not, can be taken away by anyone else."

"I will also inform the clan ancestor to expedite the journey to Earth. Pula, during this time, you will be fully responsible for all matters on Earth!"

"Yes!" Pula quickly replied.

"Moreover, there are likely other treasures on Earth, and those who understand Earth best are its native humans. You must immediately... control Earth Humans as quickly as possible. Use a gentle strategy," Yu Ke said. "If those few Universe Level powerhouses don't appear, fine. But if they do, don't rush into action. Try to reach a consensus with them! Earth has so many treasures; even just a portion of them would be a huge fortune for our family!"

"Understood," Pula replied loudly.

"Very good, excellent!" Yu Ke was clearly very excited.

... A spaceship that would be considered a luxury even for a Sector Lord (and this is assuming it's a D-class; if it were an E-class...), and a young Starry Sky Behemoth that, once it grows up, will surely become Peak World Lord.

For the Nuolan Shan Family, whose strongest martial force is only "Universe Level Ninth Order".

These two treasures really left them a bit dizzy!

Meanwhile, the three Ganwu Lord had already appeared outside the Nihility Star Field of the Milky Way Galaxy. Looking at the Wormhole covered by Space Secret Technique, the Ganwu Lord showed an indescribable joy.

I'm getting ready for vacation, and there are quite a few things to coordinate, so I won't have much time to write. I'll try to update a lot when I get home.
