Ye Chuan stood where he was.
The golden light that had merged into his body still lingered in his limbs and bones, and a cultivation method as vast as the ocean had appeared in his mind.
There was also the phantom of a golden imperial seal quietly suspended deep within his sea of consciousness. Wrapped in a hazy halo of light, he couldn't probe into it no matter how he channeled his chaotic power.
He couldn't understand any of these things, but there was one thing he did understand:
[Leveling Speed: +99999% (Jiuhua Inheritance Bonus)]
Having it on was basically a cheat code.
Ye Chuan's leveling speed was already quite fast to begin with. What did it matter if a few more nines were added? It had to be given to someone anyway.
Ye Chuan wasn't one to refuse.
"The spark of the cultivation civilization..." Ye Chuan pondered.
He had always thought he was just a passerby in this new era, never expecting to bear such an identity.
The old immortal realm had been destroyed, and he was perhaps the only hope for rebuilding the Great Dao of Cultivation?
The responsibility was a bit heavy.
"Mr. Ye! You're finally back!"
Lin Xi's voice pulled Ye Chuan back from his thoughts.
She ran over quickly, looking Ye Chuan up and down, her eyes red.
"You suddenly disappeared just now! You scared me to death! I thought you had been taken away by those bad guys!"
Lin Xi had thought she was going to crash right after setting off. The moment she saw Ye Chuan being pulled away by the rift, she had even figured out how she was going to die.
"It's fine," Ye Chuan smiled. "I met an interesting person and chatted with that senior for a bit."
"Senior?" Lin Xi paused, asking curiously. "What senior? How come I didn't see anyone?"
"A very powerful senior. You wouldn't understand." Ye Chuan didn't explain further. For some things, the less Lin Xi knew, the better it was for her.
That seemed to be a remnant soul of a Great Emperor.
Ye Chuan didn't have a concrete concept of a Great Emperor either, but previously, selling a card to upgrade to an Immortal Emperor seemed to only cost 9999999999999999... to buy.
Yeah.
He turned to look at the expressionless Kalen beside him. "Let's go. It's time to head to Planet Apocalypse."
"Understood, Demon King."
The three boarded the star shuttle. The pure white spacecraft slowly left its berth and flew toward the public warp channel.
Lin Xi sat by the window, looking at the shrinking Alpha Space Station, still feeling a bit uneasy.
The few minutes Ye Chuan had disappeared just now were simply more terrifying than all the danger she had experienced in her entire life.
Boohoo, Mom, will I still be able to come back alive?
Just then, the star shuttle's main control screen suddenly lit up, popping up an encrypted video connection request.
"Demon King, there is a video request from the Core Star Sector. Should I connect it?" Kalen turned and asked.
"Connect it," Ye Chuan said casually, leaning back in his seat.
The screen flickered, and Augustus's figure appeared on it.
He wore a crisp black uniform, his hair combed meticulously. He tried hard to squeeze out a gentle smile on his face, but the exhaustion and gloom in the depths of his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Hello, Mr. Ye Chuan," Augustus spoke first, his tone so respectful it bordered on humble.
"I am Augustus, the Director of the Investigation Department of the Supreme Academy of Sciences. First of all, on behalf of the Federation, I offer my most sincere apologies for all the unpleasantness that occurred previously."
"Kalen was young and impulsive, ignorant, and offended you... The Divine Punishment Squad was too aggressive while executing their mission, causing you unnecessary trouble... I deeply regret their deaths, but this was all a misunderstanding."
Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? A misunderstanding?"
"Sending people to ambush me, using a causality eraser to kill me, shooting me with quantum locks and antimatter bullets, and finally trying to throw me into the turbulent void." Ye Chuan propped his face on one hand, listing them off one by one.
"So over on your side, all of this is called a misunderstanding?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Augustus's face as he hurriedly said,
"Mr. Ye Chuan, this was all the subordinates acting on their own. I was completely unaware of it beforehand."
"I also just found out about this matter. I have already severely punished the responsible parties and guarantee that similar incidents will absolutely not happen again in the future."
"I contacted you this time because I want to discuss cooperation with you." He took a deep breath and continued,
"The Star Sector is willing to pay the price for the previous offenses. We can satisfy your demands."
"Cooperation?" Ye Chuan couldn't help but laugh, as if he had heard something funny.
"Au... Au what was it, Director Orleans, are you mistaken about something?"
"You first sent people to kill me, and when you couldn't beat me, you ran over to tell me you want to cooperate. How could there be such a cheap deal in this world?"
He leaned forward slightly, a hint of mockery in his tone.
"What, are you preparing to surrender unconditionally now?"
Augustus's face instantly flushed red.
But at the thought of the Speaker's words, he could only forcefully suppress the anger in his heart.
"Mr. Ye Chuan, I think you've misunderstood," Augustus said.
"We are cooperating as equals, not surrendering. The Federation has the resources and technology you need, and your strength can also help the Federation fight against the Outer Gods. This is a win-win situation."
"Win-win?" Ye Chuan said. "I don't need your resources, nor do I need your technology. I will take what I want myself."
"You fight when you want to fight, and talk when you want to talk? There's no such good thing." He leaned back in his seat, looking indifferently at Augustus on the screen.
"Since you like fighting so much, I'll play along with you to the end. When you've been beaten into submission, Orleans, you can come talk to me again."
"You! My name is not Orleans!" Augustus stood up abruptly, clearly infuriated.
He had originally thought that by lowering his status and showing goodwill, even if Ye Chuan didn't agree, he would at least give him some face.
He didn't expect Ye Chuan to give him absolutely no face and even humiliate him in public.
"Don't go too far!" Augustus shouted sternly.
"Our Star Sector and the Federation are not to be trifled with! Do you really think you can go against the entire Federation all by yourself?"
"You can try," Ye Chuan said faintly, without the slightest ripple in his tone.
"I waited for you for so long at the Alpha Space Station. If this is all you've got, then I advise you to surrender sooner rather than later."
"Oh right," Ye Chuan added, as if remembering something.
"I'll be arriving in your Star Sector very soon."
With that, not waiting for Augustus to say anything more, Ye Chuan directly hung up the communication.
The screen instantly went black.
The cockpit of the star shuttle fell into silence.
Lin Xi looked at Ye Chuan carefully and whispered,
"Mr. Ye... aren't we going to the Star Sector to demand an explanation?"
The other side had already sued for peace, so why did Ye Chuan look like he had absolutely no intention of making peace?
Was he heading there just to start a fight?
That wasn't right, was it?
"That's right, to demand an explanation. But first, we'll slaughter a few people until it hurts them," Ye Chuan said casually.
Lin Xi: OvO?
First... slaughter a few people?
"How many?"
"Just a hundred million or so," Ye Chuan said. "I know my limits."
"That's good then..."
