Universe, unknown galaxies.
Under Baili Qiu's guidance, Li Xingkong underwent dozens of jumps, using several space stations as transit points.
That's how we arrived at the mysterious star system that Baili Qiu had mentioned.
Calling it mysterious is no exaggeration. As a galaxy, no one could possibly find its location without expert guidance.
A massive structure, similar to a Dyson sphere, envelops the entire galaxy.
The stars within the galaxy emit no light at all; only starlight from the outside world shines on the outer layer of this structure, illuminating it like the surface of the moon, reflecting a layer of silvery light.
Having jumped to the outer edge of this galaxy, Li Xingkong clearly sensed that this galaxy was also spatially isolated from the outside world.
Just like an egg, a sturdy shell separates the inside from the outside.
However, not far from Li Xingkong, a large, Arc door was embedded in the giant eggshell, from which thick white light shone, illuminating the endless depths of the universe.
Numerous spaceships were coming and going at this entrance, making it quite a lively scene.
However, for some reason, Li Xingkong felt that this place was a bit too improper.
"This is it. This Knows Everything's true backer, Fang Ritu. This is his territory."
Baili Qiu, who was traveling with Li Xingkong, glanced at the massive structure and then nodded.
"Why do I have this feeling that this place is so improper?"
As Li Xingkong walked towards the entrance with Baili Qiu, his premonition grew stronger.
"Stop! Show me your ticket."
Two towering aliens blocked the way, each at least fifteen meters tall. They appeared to be silicon-based lifeforms, like King Kong.
VIP code: 32412345.
Baili Qiu quickly recited a string of numbers, and one of the guards put one hand to his ear and nodded after a few minutes.
A scanning laser beam swept from bottom to top, scanning Baili Qiu thoroughly.
"Alright, you can go in now. You can bring one friend. Don't cause any trouble inside, or you won't have a chance to come out."
Let's go.
After passing through the gate checkpoint, Baili Qiu stood to the side and beckoned Li Xingkong to go inside together.
The two entered the room one after the other, bathed in white light, as if they had traveled to another world. They were immediately startled by Li Xingkong upon entering.
Apart from the star high in the sky, all other planets and meteorites within the entire galaxy have long since disappeared.
The entire interior of the galaxy is a giant continent.
Just like the ancient flat-Earth theory, this huge continent is like a pancake, suspended in the middle of the star system. Both sides of the continent appear to be endless cities, and they are all quite bustling.
On one side of the continent, stars hang high in the sky, illuminating the entire land, while on the other side, a cold moon hangs in the sky, casting a gentle, cool hue over the whole place.
The entrance the two entered through was like being on the axis of a roulette wheel, allowing them to see both sides of the continent at a glance.
"This continent changes its day and night cycle once a year. It seems we've come at the right time; Knows Everything in the daytime zone."
Baili Qiu only glanced at them a few times before he was able to identify which area was currently in daylight.
"Daytime zone and nighttime zone? What's the difference? And what's the deal with this?"
As Baili Qiu looked into the galaxy, Li Xingkong was also observing his surroundings.
Besides the vast continent on both sides, countless beautiful women linger at this entrance.
Aliens of all races and genders, each with their own unique characteristics, were waiting near the entrance. Upon seeing Li Xingkong and Baili Qiu appear, many aliens began to approach them.
"Ahem, this powerful backer has a rather peculiar hobby, emmm, he's a bit of a womanizer."
Baili Qiu pulled Li Xingkong and squeezed out from the crowd of aliens, a scene reminiscent of fans welcoming someone at the airport.
"This entire galaxy is his main arena, the Pleasure Tower. As for the difference between day and night... you've had the meat and vegetable hot pot before, haven't you?"
Refusing the advances of the alien girl and kicking aside the oncoming young man, Baili Qiu led Li Xingkong out of the encirclement.
"This person's personality is really..."
This was the first time Li Xingkong had ever seen a scene of this magnitude, and he couldn't really comment on it.
It's true that Divine Land absolutely prohibits this kind of business, but that doesn't mean other civilizations prohibit it as well.
This thing is even considered a highly profitable industry in the universe.
" Fang Ritu only appears in the daytime area; just go directly to Knows Everything to find him."
Upon reaching the edge of the entrance platform, Baili Qiu noticed that Li Xingkong still looked back with some confusion.
"What, even a great cultivator has such thoughts? When you meet your powerful backer, ask him to introduce you to a few younger sisters."
Baili Qiu thought Li Xingkong this kind of fetish.
However, Li Xingkong was simply amazed. Would anyone really like such a bizarre thing?
Fume-shroom, Godzilla, Triceratops...
The aliens' XP is truly outrageous.
Shaking their heads to put these thoughts aside, the two quickly stepped onto the passage leading to the daytime area.
After passing through the passage, the surrounding environment changed once again, with countless uniquely shaped buildings standing tall. Although each building had a different style, they formed an exceptionally harmonious scene.
The carved beams and painted rafters, the strange rocks and trees—everything about them evokes a sense of beauty, not to mention the figures of people walking among them.
Although different species have different aesthetic standards, almost all living things share a common appreciation for beauty.
During the day, there are even more people coming and going in the area, and judging from their appearance alone, they are basically all rich and powerful.
Li Xingkong followed Baili Qiu, moving left and right, occasionally passing through a teleportation portal. Before long, they arrived in front of a magnificent pavilion.
From the outside, this attic has absolutely nothing to do with Knows Everything.
"Wait a moment, I'll try to talk to him."
Baili Qiu first led Li Xingkong into the building, and then went to the crowd on the side.
Li Xingkong found a place to sit down and began to observe his surroundings.
Looking up, the building resembled a coffered ceiling reaching to the sky, with no end in sight. Around him, many people were also looking at Li Xingkong, talking amongst themselves.
However, this is Knows Everything's territory, so it's not surprising that someone recognizes him.
Suddenly, a piece of music, like a sonata playing in Arc, began to play, and its sound could be heard throughout the entire building.
The surrounding chatter immediately subsided.
"Holy crap, it's her!"
Before Li Xingkong could even ask questions, a small figure slowly descended from above the endless caisson ceiling.
Li Xingkong saw her immediately. Although they were different species and the figure that had fallen looked nothing like Divine Land People, the moment Li Xingkong saw her, he felt only two words in his heart: perfect.
He also understood why so many species and so many civilizations could sit together harmoniously.
The figure that appeared was truly perfect.
Her beauty is a mathematical beauty; her entire being, including her posture and movements, is like an extremely brilliant formula drawn by the most outstanding scholars. No matter who you are, the moment you see her, you will only feel a sense of perfection.
"It's the Pavilion Master of the Twenty-Fourth Tower, Pavilion Master Ni Jun!"
"This is an incredible honor to have the chance to see the Pavilion Master in person."
P. S.: I stayed at a relative's house this afternoon, so at least I have a place to stay. I'll post one chapter now, and I'll see how things go later.
Anyone have ideas for a minor role? Let's have a contest. A decent name is fine, and it would be even better if the character had a personality and a moral compass.
