The Star Shuttle sailed through the dark universe for three days.
During this time, Ye Chuan logged off to play board games with the little ones at home, occasionally playing games like Sun Never Sets with Xiao Ke. Anyway, after resting, he would log back in and return to the spaceship.
Actually, Ye Chuan wanted to ask Ke Ning about the New Century, but Ke Ning had been busy lately, burying himself in his room, and Ye Chuan did not want to disturb his research.
The scenery outside the window changed from sparse stars to dense nebulas, with countless glowing interstellar dust clouds drifting in the distance.
Lin Xi, beside him, had long grown accustomed to the dizziness of faster-than-light jumps. Most of the time, she leaned against the transparent dome, curiously watching the cosmic wonders outside the window.
Occasionally, she would take out her terminal to send a message home to say she was safe.
Approaching Alpha Space Station ahead, preparing to dock...
The cold mechanical voice broke the silence of the cockpit.
Ye Chuan opened his eyes and followed Lin Xi's gaze outward.
In the distant universe, a massive silver point of light was constantly magnifying.
As they drew closer, the point of light gradually revealed its full picture. It was not a planet at all, but an artificial continent suspended in the universe.
It was shaped like an irregular disc, with a diameter of over forty thousand kilometers and a surface area of a full five billion square kilometers, almost equivalent to the surface area of Jupiter.
The edge of the space station was surrounded by a giant ring-shaped port, where hundreds of millions of various spaceships shuttled and landed, like busy ants.
The surface of the space station was covered with a pale blue energy shield, keeping out cosmic rays and meteorite fragments.
The appearance of such a sci-fi scene made Ye Chuan unable to resist taking a few more looks.
Countless glowing energy pipelines spread throughout the entire space station like blood vessels, connecting various areas.
So big... Lin Xi's eyes widened.
She had only seen these scenes in short videos, but only by truly encountering it did she realize how incredible it was.
Alpha Space Station is a public transit station on the Federation border, and also the most chaotic place in the entire star field, Kalen explained expressionlessly.
Over tens of millions of spaceships dock here every day.
Ye Chuan nodded.
On the scale of the universe, this space station, comparable to a planet, was nothing more than an insignificant speck of dust.
Let us go.
...
Meanwhile, in the abandoned freight zone No. 73 of the Alpha Space Station.
This was one of the most chaotic areas of the space station, piled with mountains of abandoned containers and rusty mechanical parts, the air thick with the smell of metal corrosion.
Five people wearing black stealth combat suits had just arrived here through a spatial tunnel.
They were the special forces of the Core Star Field, the Divine Punishment Squad.
Their purpose was to come and stop Ye Chuan from heading to the Core Star Field, and if possible, kill him directly in this space.
Just the five of them could hunt down an Outer God kin; they were the sharpest blade in the Core Star Field.
Standing at the forefront was a grim-faced middle-aged man. He was the captain of the Divine Punishment Squad, Thunderblade.
Captain... At this moment, a tall woman standing beside him spoke. Her silver-gray long hair was tied into a high ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead and delicate collarbones.
Vice-captain Iceglass.
She had a pair of ice-blue eyes, a characteristic of the residents of the Core Star Field.
Beside her was a burly man over five meters tall, his muscles bulging and stretching his combat suit tight.
He was the squad's Bull.
Captain, how much longer until the target arrives? Bull asked in a muffled, booming voice, impatiently swinging the spatial axe in his hand.
I can hardly wait. I really want to see what that monster looks like. Is he worth the command branch sending us out? Our usual opponents are either Outer God kin or those various immortals from bizarre continents.
Do not underestimate the enemy, Thunderblade said in a deep voice. Our mission is to capture or kill that man named Ye Chuan.
Capture alive? Bull sneered, swinging the axe in his hand that could easily slice through spatial dimensions.
Captain, you think too highly of that amateur from a low-level star field. Did he not just get lucky and kill an injured Outer God apostle, and knows some pretentious resurrection spells? I could crush him with one hand.
Bull, do not say such things! Iceglass spoke coldly, her voice as icy as her name.
Minister Augustus personally sent the highest-level warning, saying this person is even more dangerous than a Level 13 Calamity.
Dangerous? How dangerous could he be? I know, it is because he is a cultivator. Bull curled his lips dismissively.
I think Minister Augustus is just getting senile in his old age. I have never seen a powerhouse from a cultivation star field.
Thunderblade frowned and did not speak. He simply took out his terminal and opened an encrypted video. Look at this.
In the video was the scene of Ye Chuan and Kalen fighting in the Chaos Domain.
They saw Kalen summon a starry behemoth tens of thousands of meters tall, only for Ye Chuan to use a soul banner to release countless souls to bite and devour it.
They saw Kalen use a Causal Particle Eraser, and after Ye Chuan's body dissipated, it instantly reconstituted, with the attack reflecting back and crippling Kalen's right arm.
They saw Kalen fire an Annihilation Particle Gun; Ye Chuan resurrected once again, and the rebounding particles killed Kalen.
Finally, the frame froze on the scene where Ye Chuan casually waved his hand, completely annihilating Kalen's corpse.
The entire freight zone fell into a dead silence.
The disdain on Bull's face vanished without a trace in an instant. His eyes widened as he stared at the screen.
This... how is this possible? Even causal erasure could not kill him?
This was a rule-level lethal weapon, after all!
If it were not for Kalen's formidable family background, he could never have possessed such a thing.
That is not even the most terrifying part, Thunderblade turned off the video, his tone exceptionally grave.
Do not forget, he can also mass-resurrect tens of thousands of soldiers, purify Outer God corruption, and reverse-corrupt deviants.
This man's ability system is extremely chaotic, literally like chaos itself. It completely exceeds our understanding. We have no idea how many trump cards he still has hidden.
Minister Augustus said his threat level is as high as an Outer God kin, no weaker than what we usually face.
Bull scratched his head. So what do we do?
Ambush, Thunderblade said.
Remember, we absolutely cannot fight him head-on. Our advantage lies in teamwork and ambushing.
Everyone nodded.
Captain, the target has arrived at the port! a team member suddenly spoke up, his fingers tapping on a terminal.
The Star Shuttle is preparing to dock at private berth BB37!
Let us go. Thunderblade pressed a button on his chest. As his clothes shifted, his body became formless and colorless. Seeing this, the others also pressed their buttons.
The five-person squad disappeared.
But soon, a sound like tearing plastic film echoed in the air. Space was sliced open, revealing a new spatial passage.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
