"47,921 years ago, the great Ganwu Nation Lord bestowed the title of Undying Deity upon King Torchbearer on the First Administrative Star, directly governing eighty-five medium-level civilized cosmic nations..."

"46,855 years ago, the Undying Deity Kuber swore allegiance to the great Ganwu Nation Lord, and the medium-level civilized cosmic nation, the Kuber Empire, was declared established..."

"46,112 years ago, Marquis Hubo, an immortal under the command of the Ganwu Universe Master, died in battle on the 11th Outer Battlefield..."

The next day, in the dark universe, a pure metal spaceship cast entirely from grade F6 Wind-Quelling Gold Marrow was traveling at high speed. Its powerful propulsion system and the spatial law secret runes on its surface made its speed astonishingly fast, far faster than Li Che's original spaceship.

Inside the spaceship, Li Che's intelligent assistant Bai Yue was slowly recounting information related to Undying Deities that had occurred in the Ganwu Universe Country over the past 50,000 years.

Given the long lifespans of Undying Deities, there were actually not too many news items related to them. However, because a high-level nation like the Ganwu Universe Country had a massive spacetime volume and a huge number of Undying Deities, it resulted in quite a lot of accumulated news over the past 50,000 years.

The main purpose of Li Che needing this news was actually to evaluate how far away Luo Feng's birth was by analyzing these reports.

Having transmigrated over 50,000 years ago, he actually did not have a very detailed understanding of the era he was in. After all, the history of the human race was far too long, and there were not many things that could serve as public historical milestones.

Even now, Li Che only knew that Hu Yanbo had already achieved immortality at this stage, but Hu Yanbo had lived for a full 6,000-plus epochs, making it impossible to further pinpoint the current era.

Listening to these worthless old news items, Li Che stroked the dark purple world ring personally presented by Nine Sword Venerable, his thoughts wandering slightly.

Just a short while ago, Bai Yue successfully completed the asset valuation of the seven alien Immortal Military Lords provided by Li Che.

Among the Immortal Military Lords Li Che had managed to slay over the years, one belonged to the relatively weak tier, four were considered quite veteran, and two belonged to the top tier of military lord powerhouses. Aside from lacking an undying body, their strength was almost on the verge of becoming marquises.

Their assets each had their own merits.

Among them, the two top-tier Immortal Military Lords were the wealthiest. After estimation, even with some depreciation, the value of their spoils of war was around 1.7 million and 1.4 million Hunyuan Units respectively.

As for the other four more veteran Immortal Military Lords, from least to most, they provided Li Che with wealth valued at 120,000, 470,000, 640,000, and 790,000 Hunyuan Units, totaling 2.02 million Hunyuan Units.

Meanwhile, the weakest Immortal Military Lord came from the Demon Alliance, and the total spoils of war Li Che obtained from it amounted to a mere 2,000 Hunyuan Units.

Two thousand Hunyuan Units!

Li Che could not help but sigh at the wealth gap between Immortal Military Lords.

He remembered that on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, Blazing Flame World Lord had once explained the general net worth of Undying Deities to Li Che. Roughly speaking, the wealth of Immortal Military Lords ranged from 1,000 to 10 million, and their wealth was affected by combat power, background, age, and identity, creating an extremely huge gap.

The poor were exceptionally poor, and the rich were exceptionally rich.

Of course, what Li Che obtained could not possibly be the entirety of these Undying Deities' net worths.

After all, Undying Deities all had divine kingdoms. The majority of some immortals' wealth might be stored within their divine kingdoms, and what could be plundered was often only a fraction.

Even so, after sorting through all this wealth, Li Che's net worth skyrocketed to over 5 million Hunyuan Units in a very short time.

This was completely at the standard of a veteran Immortal Military Lord.

Before joining the five major factions, these assets can indeed be used as a starting fund... A moment later, Li Che put away the dark purple world ring and muttered to himself.

With the example of Luo Feng from the original timeline, Li Che was very clear about how outrageously top-level core members of those five major factions earned and spent money.

Taking the Femo Venom used by Luo Feng to slay an immortal as an example, that thing was reputed to require a mere 10 grams to poison and kill a limit King powerhouse, and the severity of its toxicity could be imagined.

Yet for this divine force venom, every single gram cost a full 300 million Hunyuan Units!

This price was simply demonic!

In comparison, Li Che's expenses over these 50,000-plus years were just pocket change.

Of course, Li Che never thought that his 50,000 years on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield had been wasted. He had no excessive obsessions in his heart; experiencing the many wonders of this world was far more important.

"32,455 years ago, Time World Lord Luo engaged in battle with Ice Sea God Lord in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield... Time World Lord defeated Ice Sea God Lord with a narrow advantage. It is reported that Time World Lord Luo is a powerful world lord recognized by the Extraterrestrial Battlefield military system as possessing the combat power of an Immortal Military Lord. His faction, Three Axes Mountain..."

"31,114 years ago, Prince Yong, the prince of the Ganwu Nation Lord, successfully broke through to the immortal level..."

"Bai Yue, switch back to the previous news and read the whole thing."

Suddenly, Li Che, who had been listening to the news leisurely, opened both eyes and interrupted the intelligent assistant's reading because he realized he had heard a familiar name.

Or rather, this was a name Li Che had once heard as a transmogrifier.

"Yes, sir!"

"According to news from the Universe Mercenary Alliance, not long ago, witnessed by the Black Dragon Mountain Divine Lord, Time World Lord Luo and Ice Sea God Lord fought on the outer periphery of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield..."

Bai Yue faithfully executed Li Che's command, detailing the news report from the Universe Mercenary Alliance. The content within it was precisely the information that Time World Lord Luo had frontally defeated the god lord of the Ice Sea Divine Kingdom.

This brought a hint of a smile to the corners of Li Che's lips.

"Query the information on that Time World Lord Luo of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield mentioned just now, and search for the time this Time World Lord became a Giant Axe warrior and his age at that time." He continued giving orders.

"Yes."

After searching for a brief moment, Bai Yue continued speaking,

"According to public information from the Giant Axe Battle Arena, Luo completed the 1,000th victory of the Domain Lord life-and-death battle approximately 902 epochs ago, becoming a Domain Lord-level Giant Axe warrior. According to the information, his age at that time was approximately 120,000 years old."

"Mhm, 120,000 years old 902 epochs ago, which means Time World Lord Luo's true age is currently around 9.14 million years..."

Li Che muttered to himself, and a smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Having transmigrated to this era for nearly 60,000 years, he now finally had a certain grasp of the time node he was currently at.

He remembered that when Luo Feng participated in the Peak Genius Battle, Luo had a mere two epochs left until his limit.

In other words, there were still over 80 epochs left until Luo Feng's birth.

And that immortal named Hu Yanbo had only seventy-plus epochs left to bounce around.

"Sir, do you wish to issue a battle challenge to that Time World Lord? Do you need to send a visiting card to that world lord?" Beside his ear, the intelligent quantum brain Bai Yue wriggled her waist and flew onto Li Che's shoulder to ask.

This was not the personal will of the quantum brain's intelligence, but rather the highest probability derived after meticulous analysis by a high-level quantum brain.

"No need. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire itself is not the primary destination of our trip. If there is a chance, we will try to contact that 'old senior' then." Li Che shook his head and said.

He had no enthusiasm for challenging Time World Lord Luo. Even though that old world lord was very strong, there was almost no possibility of him defeating Li Che.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Suddenly, Li Che noticed a blue light light up on the top of his intelligent assistant Bai Yue's head. He reached out and tapped it, and a digitized letter immediately unfolded before his eyes.

It was precisely the letter from his own Rong Bing Army Master.

"Let me see what kind of grudge the God Lord and that Hu Yanbo actually have." Li Che softly muttered to himself, then greeted Bai Yue and entered the virtual universe.
