Kanuo had purchased a residence on Purple Water Star mainly because the planet held a relatively important position within the Purple River Empire, and the price of an estate there was not particularly high for a Universe Level expert like him.
But since he rarely stayed on Purple Water Star, his estate here was not especially large, though it was still spacious enough to accommodate a spaceship.
After parking the spaceship, Kanuo quickly led Lu Qingshan and Weilusi toward the largest city on Purple Water Star.
At Kanuo's speed, it took little time to bring Lu Qingshan and Weilusi to the vicinity of an enormous city.
The walls of the entire city gleamed with a faint purple light, stretching all the way to the end of their vision and looking imposing and massive.
Beside this enormous city stood a colossal tower that soared into the clouds, its surface constantly flashing with all kinds of light.
"My disciple, this is Purple Water City!"
Kanuo looked at the enormous city ahead, then introduced it to Lu Qingshan. "As for that giant tower beside it, it is one of the Golden Lion Empire's nine communication towers in the Scorpio System. Through it, you can contact any region within the Golden Lion Starfield!"
"Of course, using the Golden Lion Empire's communication system costs a considerable amount of money. Even among Star Level experts, few can afford to use it for long, so people normally communicate through planetary networks or star system networks. Although that limits their communication range, it also costs much less!"
"I understand!"
Lu Qingshan quickly nodded slightly in response, while inwardly marveling without end.
The Virtual Universe created by the Original Ancestor was truly incredible, and it was far too important to the Human Race. In a certain sense, it even surpassed a True Supreme Treasure!
After all, it was precisely because the Virtual Universe existed that the Human Race could twist itself into a single rope and gather all the life within Human Territory in the Virtual Universe. How swift and convenient did that make communication?
"We'll go straight to the imperial administration office next!"
Kanuo soon said, "First, we'll have Qingshan join the Golden Lion Empire and obtain citizenship, then apply to purchase Xuanhuang Star!"
"Yes, Teacher!" "Yes, Ancestor!"
Lu Qingshan and Weilusi both responded respectfully, then rose into the air with Kanuo. After entering Purple Water City, they hurried toward the Golden Lion Empire's administration office.
When the other pedestrians along the way saw the three of them, they hurriedly moved aside, even looking with reverence at Kanuo, who led the way.
Although Purple Water Star was an extremely prosperous life-bearing planet where quite a few Star Level experts normally resided, Universe Level experts were still exceedingly rare.
After all, under normal development, a galaxy would only produce one or two Universe Level experts in a hundred thousand years.
Thus, a Universe Level expert could command respect wherever they went!
A short while later, Kanuo brought Lu Qingshan and Weilusi before a building shaped like an enormous golden lion, with two burly men over five meters tall guarding its entrance.
Seeing the three approach, the guards, who had long since detected Kanuo's strength, made no attempt to stop them. Instead, they enthusiastically took the initiative to push open the doors for them. "Please come in, sir!"
Kanuo nodded slightly, then quickly led Lu Qingshan and Weilusi into the building.
Under the enthusiastic guidance of a staff member, the three soon arrived at the office that handled citizenship.
"Greetings, sir!"
When the three pushed the door open and walked straight into the office, the two uniformed staff members instinctively frowned. But upon seeing Kanuo, warm smiles immediately appeared on their faces, and they hurriedly rose to greet him. "Sir, how may we be of service?"
Kanuo glanced at Lu Qingshan behind him, then said casually, "This disciple of mine wishes to become a citizen of the Golden Lion Empire!"
"No problem!"
A staff member responded respectfully, then looked at Lu Qingshan and asked, "May I ask what your previous nationality was, sir, and whether you have the documents releasing you from that nationality?"
Hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "I didn't have a nationality before!"
"No nationality?"
The staff member seemed quite surprised by Lu Qingshan's reply, but after glancing at Kanuo, quickly continued, "Since you had no nationality before, sir, becoming a citizen of our Golden Lion Empire will be much simpler. Please stand still!"
"All right!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then stood still.
After scanning him with the device on their arm, the staff member quickly confirmed that Lu Qingshan had never held any nationality.
Then, after paying the relevant fees, Lu Qingshan waited another half hour or so before receiving his own identification documents and having his record entered into the Golden Lion Empire's citizen system.
Once everything was completed, the three soon arrived at the office for purchasing planets.
With a Universe Level expert like Kanuo present, the staff were not surprised that Lu Qingshan's party wanted to purchase a planet.
After all, for a Universe Level expert, handing a newly discovered life-bearing planet directly over to the Golden Lion Empire would have been the strange thing to do.
And so, after Weilusi submitted Xuanhuang Star's coordinates, samples, data, and the flight logs from his previous journey there, among other things, a staff member soon said to Kanuo, "Sir, as the discoverer of this life-bearing planet named 'Xuanhuang Star,' you are entitled to preferential purchase terms under imperial law!"
"Based on the information you provided, purchasing this life-bearing planet named 'Xuanhuang Star' will require a payment of five hundred billion Golden Lion Currency!"
"Good!"
Kanuo nodded slightly and quickly transferred five hundred billion Golden Lion Currency to the account designated by the staff member.
The staff member spoke again. "Sir, you must submit your identification details before you can become the lord of this life-bearing planet!"
"He is the owner of this life-bearing planet!"
Kanuo immediately turned to look at Lu Qingshan beside him.
Upon hearing Kanuo's words, even though Lu Qingshan had been somewhat prepared, he was still quite excited.
Lu Qingshan immediately bowed to Kanuo in gratitude. "Thank you, Teacher!"
"Hahaha!"
Kanuo laughed and helped Lu Qingshan straighten up, then continued, "One's home is extremely important to every expert. You are my disciple, so naturally, I must put your home under your name! Now then, hurry up and give them your identification details!"
"Yes, Teacher!"
After hearing Kanuo's words, Lu Qingshan quickly submitted his identification details to the staff members beside him, who were looking at him enviously.
After receiving Lu Qingshan's identification details, a staff member beside him soon spoke again. "Sirs, the data you submitted must be reviewed by the various imperial departments. Once its authenticity is confirmed, that life-bearing planet will become your territory!"
"Under normal procedures, this process takes anywhere from ten to thirty days! But as you are a Universe Level expert, sir, we can use the expedited channel. It should all be completed in approximately one to three days!"
"Mm, proceed that way, then!"
Kanuo nodded slightly, then led Lu Qingshan and Weilusi out of the office.
Only after they had left did the staff members in the office begin discussing them.
"Heavens, that gentleman is only at the Planetary Level right now, isn't he? And he's already becoming the lord of a planet?"
"Exactly! Even disciples of Universe Level experts don't all get to become Planet Lords, do they?"
"Judging by what that Universe Level expert said, that gentleman must have been a native of that newly discovered life-bearing planet, right?"
"That seems very likely!"
"If that's the case, that gentleman really is fortunate. Not only did he avoid becoming a slave, he even became a Universe Level expert's disciple and the lord of his home planet!"
After all, every life-bearing planet was exceedingly precious, even to Universe Level experts.
Thus, seeing a mere Planetary Level like Lu Qingshan become the lord of a life-bearing planet naturally filled them with envy.
