30 Billion Planetary-levels!

Wang Yu sat alone in the bar, drinking, feeling somewhat helpless.

They did not want money; they wanted to sell him a favor.

That was far more expensive than ten million Universe Coins!

Still, resolving it this way was better than truly facing enemies with his Ninth-Order Universe-level strength after crossing the Law Threshold.

Laws depended entirely on comprehension, and comprehension was a mysterious thing. Someone might achieve enlightenment overnight, or they might be only one step away yet remain stuck at the bottleneck for a lifetime.

So crossing the Law Threshold was not much of an issue. Once one comprehended it, one comprehended it; no one could covet anything.

Energy accumulation, on the other hand, truly depended entirely on resources. At most, those with better bloodlines had higher efficiency, while those with poorer bloodlines had lower efficiency.

One ton of nutrient solution costing ten billion Universe Coins, plus over a hundred years of time, could produce a First-Order Universe Level warrior.

Ten billion Universe Coins was the entire fortune of an ordinary Domain Lord Level expert.

That was not even counting the nutrient pod. With a Domain Lord Level expert's entire fortune spent on nutrient solution alone, one could only create a First-Order Universe Level warrior. It was clear just how terrifyingly expensive it was to forcefully accelerate energy accumulation!

Even when the Virtual Universe Company trained core geniuses and had them rely entirely on nutrient solution to complete their energy accumulation, it still took three months to go from First-Order Universe Level to Ninth-Order Universe Level.

If the opponents were some average star bandits, around Fourth- or Fifth-Order Universe Level with the third or fourth level of domain, then once he crossed the Law Threshold, even Second-Order Universe Level strength would be enough for him to slaughter them with his eyes closed.

But to deal with those three ruthless men from Blood Fang, he would definitely need to instantly reach Ninth-Order Universe Level. Otherwise, if the gap in base strength was too great, he would not be able to win even after crossing the Law Threshold.

And that was an even bigger problem. Completing Universe-level energy accumulation in such a short time was something only the five great powers could provide to their core geniuses. Who knew how much such high-end nutrient solution would cost?

If he truly did that without a major power or expert backing him, it would mean that he possessed a heaven-defying treasure.

At the very least, it would be something priced in Chaos Yuan Units, like a Life Fruit—a treasure at the World Lord level. Otherwise, it could not possibly have such an effect.

Then it would not just be three Universe-level warriors. Who knew how many Domain Lords and World Lords would come to kill him for it!

Therefore, inviting Mentor Yoda was the safer choice.

A newcomer like him had made no contributions and had no connections. If a powerhouse like Blood Fang came to kill him, no one would stand up for him. Even his identity as a One-Leaf Qian Wu Adept would be useless.

But Mentor Yoda was completely different. He had operated in the Ganwu Dojo for many years, with both contributions and connections. If someone like him were killed by star bandits, powerful experts would surely act and kill the culprit. Otherwise, the Ganwu Dojo would lose all prestige.

Even if Blood Fang's three captains arrived together, once they saw Mentor Yoda present, they would definitely not dare to act. Even if they could win and kill Mentor Yoda on the spot, their only fate would be to draw the pursuit of experts dispatched by the Ganwu Dojo. It would be tantamount to seeking death.

There was no deep hatred between them anyway. Star bandits sought nothing but wealth. They always picked on the weak and would withdraw when they encountered someone tough.

Owing a favor... Fine. Even for the sake of my family, Mentor is willingly forming a good bond with me. A favor it is, then! Wang Yu thought.

Mentor still has several thousand years left to live. By then, who knows what level I will have reached? Helping a Universe-level warrior break through to Domain Lord should not be difficult.

But those slave merchants and the Blood Fang Star Bandits have caused me so much trouble...

If all three come together, so be it. I can take revenge later. But if only one or two come, I'll kill them for sure!

Ten days later, Mentor Yoda's D7-class Spaceship arrived at War God Star.

Naturally, Wang Yu held a banquet to welcome his mentor.

"Wang Yu, it is not that I want to criticize you," Mentor Yoda said casually as he drank.

"I see that you are training many Apprentice Grade warriors. Are you really planning to treat your territory as a foundation and slowly build it up for steady profits?"

"I do have that idea. Does Mentor think it is inappropriate?" Wang Yu asked with a smile.

"The idea is not wrong, but your vision is too narrow!" Yoda shook his head slightly.

"Managing a territory does bring income, but it is all slow, steady income. It is stable, but you cannot make big money that way!"

"If you want money that comes quickly and in large amounts, you still need to go adventuring! Explore the various cosmic secret realms!"

"The wealth you possess was also a fortunate opportunity you gained from past adventures, wasn't it? Then you should understand even better that if you encounter an opportunity, the gains from a single adventure might exceed your entire current fortune!"

"If your luck is even better and you find treasures left behind after the fall of some powerful expert, then the gains... are simply unimaginable!"

"And look at all the truly powerful experts. Which one did not rise through countless life-and-death battles?"

"With talent as good as yours, you should go on more adventures and undergo life-and-death tempering!"

"Only under true life-and-death pressure can you force out all of your potential!"

"Once you become stronger, anything you do will earn you ten or even a hundred times more than managing a territory like this!"

"Only with money can you support your cultivation and rapidly increase your strength!"

"Mentor is right." Wang Yu smiled and nodded.

Though Wang Yu said that, he merely agreed with him and showed no further reaction. Mentor Yoda immediately knew that the boy had not taken any of it to heart, and he could not help feeling somewhat helpless.

It was not entirely because he wanted a powerful expert to look after his family that he insisted on urging Wang Yu to adventure and temper himself. Geniuses should have undergone life-and-death tempering in the first place; that was how they improved quickly.

This was all for his own good!

How could someone become a powerful expert without pushing himself to the brink?

How could someone rise above others without enduring hardship?

This boy clearly had astonishing comprehension and was still so young. Why did he not know how to strive?

Wang Yu smiled as he drank.

He could guess Mentor's thoughts with his toes.

If it were anyone else, that advice would indeed have been correct, and he did not deny it.

But he was different.

With the system, he could become stronger just by adding points. He would have to be an idiot to risk his life on adventures.

What if I die!?

This lord's life is far too precious. I am not doing anything that treats my own life like a joke.

Besides, it was not just for himself.

It was for the more than one hundred life planets under his command and their more than three hundred billion citizens!

If he died and someone else ruled them, they would not be able to live as well as they did now!

The slaves would not be able to become free citizens either!

He valued his life not just for his own sake.

It was all for the countless citizens!

Thinking that way, Wang Yu instantly felt that he truly bore immense responsibility, carrying far too much on his shoulders...

As Wang Yu and Mentor Yoda enjoyed the banquet, he suddenly received an email from Venina.

"Lord, the Planetary Evolution Potion has arrived. Please give your instructions."

Wang Yu's eyes lit up!

After waiting so long, it had finally arrived!

Excitement surged through Wang Yu, and he immediately ordered, "Good! Begin distributing it at once. Have all the selected citizens take it on the spot!"

"Yes, Lord!" Venina immediately agreed.

Yoda saw this but did not know what good news Wang Yu had received. He did not pay it much attention.

But soon, his expression changed slightly, and his gaze seemed to pierce through the palace and look into the far distance...

Over there, hundreds of millions of Apprentice Grade warriors were actually breaking through to the Planetary-level?

On an enormous plaza somewhere on War God Star.

Venina was directing three million Planetary-level personnel as they orderly distributed potions to the selected three billion Apprentice Grade citizens.

All the workers wore identical dark blue uniforms, their expressions solemn and their movements efficient.

The plaza was filled with box after box of securely packaged potions—three billion bottles in total, truly piled up like mountains.

On the other side, the three billion Apprentice Grade citizens also stood in neat lines according to the prior arrangements, waiting.

Although both the citizens and workers numbered enormously, with the thought speed granted by life evolution and the assistance of high-performance intelligence, it was a simple matter for Venina to command three hundred Star-level subordinates, who in turn directed three million Planetary-level personnel to distribute the potions.

The distribution was soon completed, and every one of the three billion Apprentice Grade citizens held a bottle of potion.

"By the Lord's order, everyone is to consume the potion immediately!" Venina relayed Wang Yu's command.

"Follow the secret technique you were taught and begin breaking through to the Planetary-level!"
