The Flint Star Sector Lord, Ertis

Once a Planetary Level warrior possessed a Domain, his combat strength was enough to make him stand above his peers.

That was even more true of someone with two Domains.

At its core, Jiang Luo's Special Beam Cannon perfectly combined the Domains of water and fire, unleashing their greatest power in a single attack.

With his current strength, the Special Beam Cannon packed enough power to overwhelm even an early Star Level fighter.

It could easily pierce the ten layers of light screens set up to test Planetary Level warriors.

As for the silver-haired man, what he valued most was Jiang Luo's "dual Domains"!

It was rare enough for a Planetary Level warrior to possess a Domain.

Two Domains were even rarer.

And on a weak life-bearing planet like this, it was like a dinosaur suddenly appearing in an anthill.

"Very good!"

A faint smile appeared on the silver-haired man's stern face. "You're just barely qualified to become my master's nominal disciple. Come with me."

Curious as a child, Jiang Luo followed him into the empty core cabin of the spaceship.

"My name is Wu He. You may call me Lord Wu." The silver-haired man spoke arrogantly in the Luo Planet Language. "My master is the great Flint Star Sector Lord, Ertis!"

Seeing Jiang Luo's bewildered expression, Wu He's face stiffened. He felt as if he were talking to a cow.

How could a backwater native who had never even encountered Cosmic Human civilization know how great his master was?

What Wu He didn't know was that Jiang Luo was also grumbling to himself. Given Wu He's arrogance, he'd assumed his master was some kind of powerhouse.

He hadn't expected Ertis not even to be an Immortal God.

"Hmph. My master, the Flint Star Sector Lord, has long been renowned throughout the Huanming Star Sector, and is even somewhat famous across the entire Gulun Universe Kingdom.

"Even Immortal Gods treat my master with respect and deal with him as an equal! If it weren't for..."

A shadow crossed Wu He's fervent expression. "If my master hadn't set his sights so high, he would have become an Immortal God long ago—and not an ordinary one, either!"

Jiang Luo mused over this. So the planet he was on lay within the Gulun Universe Kingdom?

That meant it was probably a very long way from the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

Wu He sighed, then fixed Jiang Luo with a sharp gaze again. "Are you willing to become my master's disciple?"

"I am!"

Jiang Luo answered without hesitation. If he'd said no, someone with Wu He's temperament probably wouldn't have let him leave the spaceship.

Wu He smiled and waved a hand. A holographic screen appeared. "This is some information about my master. I've translated it from the Universal Language into your people's language. Take a look."

The massive amount of information Wu He provided was complicated, but Jiang Luo's Brain Domain Width made it easy for him to absorb.

It took him a while to finish digesting it all.

So the Flint Star Sector Lord, Ertis, had died more than five thousand years ago.

That wasn't unexpected.

If the Flint Star Sector Lord hadn't died, Wu He wouldn't have ended up stranded here.

And Wu He hadn't exaggerated when describing Ertis.

His status as a Three-Star Universe Mercenary alone put him above most World Lords. Anyone who passed the three-star mercenary trial was at least a Peak World Lord.

Most impressive of all, the Flint Star Sector Lord had been a Sector Lord Level Great Axe Warrior!

Domain Lord Level Great Axe Warriors were rare even across an entire star sector.

Sector Lord Level Great Axe Warriors were practically legends throughout an entire Universe Kingdom.

Even in an ancient Universe Kingdom with as deep a history as the Gulun Universe Kingdom, Sector Lord Level Great Axe Warriors were exceedingly rare.

No wonder Wu He had said that Ertis was famous across the whole Universe Kingdom despite being a World Lord.

But what Jiang Luo cared about most was what he stood to gain.

"You don't have the Flint Star Sector Lord's inheritance?" Jiang Luo exclaimed.

Wu He looked a little embarrassed. "Before my master died, he sent out more than one spaceship from his Internal World.

"I'm only the Smart Brain of this spaceship, not an intelligent life-form who followed my master everywhere. I don't have his secret techniques or inheritance stored here..."

As he continued, his tone turned indignant. "Besides, you're only my master's nominal disciple. If you want to truly inherit his legacy, you'll need to take the token to Flint Star World and pass its trials.

"Most of the treasures and resources my master left behind are hidden in a World within a World inside Flint Star World.

"If you pass the trials, you'll naturally receive my master's entire legacy."

Jiang Luo was speechless. So the Flint Star Sector Lord had cast a wide net.

Before his death, he'd sent out who knew how many spaceships to find suitable candidates for his inheritance, then planned to pick the true successor from among them?

Even Huyan Bo, an Immortal God, hadn't gone to such lengths.

But on second thought, the Flint Star Sector Lord's method really was better. It didn't rely purely on luck, and it let him choose the best from among the best.

If Earth hadn't given rise to Luo Feng, Babata had no idea how much longer it would have taken to find Huyan Bo a successor.

Of course, that probably had something to do with the circumstances of Huyan Bo's death. He'd clearly met with sudden misfortune, and even the Meteor Ink Star had been damaged. He hadn't had time to prepare any backup plans.

Jiang Luo wasn't particularly interested in the Flint Star Sector Lord's inheritance.

As long as he accumulated enough wish power, what divine technique or secret art couldn't he bring into existence?

But if he couldn't obtain the Flint Star Sector Lord's secret techniques, he obviously couldn't get his bank account, either.

Universe Coins were what Jiang Luo wanted most.

With money, he could buy life-bearing planets, gain more believers, gather more wish power, and keep getting stronger.

"Still, I do have some techniques that don't involve the Core Inheritance.

"There's also a C-Grade Nutrient Pod and a ton of Nutrient Solution aboard the spaceship, enough to evolve you to the ninth rank of Star Level.

"According to my master's arrangements, you'd need to reach the ninth rank of Star Level before you could go to Flint Star World and face its trials. But your situation is special..."

A Nutrient Pod?

Jiang Luo's eyes lit up.

He didn't mind being short on money. A Nutrient Pod was a precious item, and a C-Grade one could definitely sell for a lot of Universe Coins.

"Can I use the Nutrient Pod?"

At the edge of the star system containing Luo Planet, three black spaceships streaked through the starry sky like shooting stars.

Inside the control room of the middle spaceship,

a golden-haired young man stood before the console, gazing at the beautiful star system in the distance through the external-view simulation.

"Searching one star system after another. Who knows how long it'll take to find anything?"

Figo sighed to himself. "More than five thousand years ago, when the Flint Star Sector Lord died, who knew how many spaceships he sent out?

"But the intelligence confirms that one spaceship was headed this way.

"If I can find one of the Flint Star Sector Lord's spaceships, I'll be able to claim the company's reward..."

According to the information the company had provided, every spaceship the Flint Star Sector Lord sent out carried a token that could grant entry to the hidden World within a World in Flint Star World.

Anyone who passed the trials in the World within a World could claim the treasures and resources the Flint Star Sector Lord had left behind.

Those were the treasures of a Sector Lord Level Great Axe Warrior!

They were said to tempt even the great Immortal Gods.

Even if he only found a token, the company's reward would be enough to drive anyone wild.

"Even if I can't find the Flint Star Sector Lord's spaceship, it'd be nice to discover an unclaimed life-bearing planet. I could sell it to the company for several hundred billion Huanming Coins..."
