The exit of the jump channel.
Hundreds of silver-white Federation warships were neatly arrayed in the void.
The decks of the warships were crowded with people, each face bearing complex emotions.
How could they not be?
One man had destroyed an entire fleet, and it had cost them a whole star system just to negotiate peace. It had been a long time since the Federation had faced such a situation.
"A man who single-handedly killed the Divine Punishment Squad and swallowed the entire Starfall Fleet... is he really human?" on the deck, a general asked his companion.
"Why does he look just like us?"
"Just like us? Don't be fooled!" His companion lowered his voice.
"My mentor said he's an old monster from a higher cultivation star domain who used a secret art to maintain his youth."
"He must be at least a million years old."
"Can a cultivator manipulate the cognitive pollution of Outer Gods?" a scarred general said.
"I think he is an Outer God himself! Maybe he's a spy sent by the Outer Gods, pretending to reconcile first, and then swallowing all of Planet Apocalypse once we let our guard down."
"Shut up, all of you!"
Su Rui's cold voice came from the front, and the crowd instantly fell silent.
She stood on the foremost deck of the flagship, her white Speaker uniform spotless.
No one knew Ye Chuan's true weight better than she did.
Especially—
When reading the coordinate playback footage, she had also seen Ye Chuan subdue a starry sky behemoth!
This completely shocked Su Rui as to why a cultivator could be this powerful.
Technology, magic, transcendent, cultivation.
Cultivation was supposed to be the lowest tier, an unrated existence.
Why was this man so ridiculously strong?
She had never heard of such a person existing in the higher cultivation star domains.
"Beep—Detected that a star shuttle is exiting the jump channel!"
The flagship's broadcast suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked up simultaneously, gazing into the pitch-black depths of the channel.
A silver-white light slowly lit up as the small star shuttle smoothly glided out. Against the backdrop of hundreds of warships measuring thousands or tens of thousands of meters long, it looked as insignificant as a speck of dust.
But no one dared to underestimate this speck of dust.
The star shuttle docked steadily at the flagship's exclusive berth, and the cabin door slowly opened.
Ye Chuan was the first to step out. Seeing so many people didn't evoke much of a reaction from him.
Lin Xi followed behind him, sneaking glances around like a thief.
What kind of feeling was this—
Lin Xi was a civil servant from a small place, and this was the core star domain.
Every single person standing up there was someone Lin Xi could never contact, let alone have the qualifications to speak a word to.
They were all big shots, at least to the Blue Source Planet.
It felt like accidentally trespassing into the heavenly court.
In the past, she would never have dared to imagine being welcomed by people of this caliber.
The last to step out was Kalen.
The moment they saw Kalen, the crowd was stunned.
"Kalen?! Isn't he dead?!"
"He's being controlled! That man can actually control human souls!"
Su Rui was taken aback for a moment when she saw the controlled Kalen, but she quickly regained her composure.
She quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly to Ye Chuan. "Mr. Ye Chuan, welcome to Planet Apocalypse. I am Su Rui, ordered by the Supreme Speaker to wait for you here."
"Mhm," Ye Chuan replied indifferently. His gaze swept over the dense cluster of warships around them, and a playful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Quite the grand lineup. Are you afraid I might suddenly get upset and take all hundreds of your ships?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Su Rui's face, and she hurriedly changed the subject:
"You must be tired from the journey. We have already prepared a place for you to stay."
"Alright." Ye Chuan nodded without saying anything more.
An exclusive flying vehicle slowly ascended, heading toward the surface of Planet Apocalypse.
Looking through the porthole, Lin Xi let out a gasp of amazement.
This core Federation planet completely exceeded her imagination—layered floating cities, countless glowing aerial tracks covering the entire planet like a spider web, and in the distant space, massive ring-shaped space stations and interstellar fortresses silently suspended like steel behemoths.
"There are fifty trillion people here?" Lin Xi asked quietly.
"Planet Apocalypse has been developing for many years," Su Rui explained from the side.
"It possesses the Federation's most advanced technology and top-tier transcendent academies."
Ye Chuan didn't speak; he just quietly looked out the window.
He could clearly sense dozens of powerful auras hidden on this planet. Three of them were not even weaker than the black beast he had subdued.
It seemed this Federation had a deeper foundation than he had imagined.
It seems they are hiding in the shadows?
Are they afraid I might do something?
The flying vehicle finally landed in front of a villa located on the planet's highest peak.
The villa covered an area of over ten thousand square kilometers, surrounded by artificially cultivated ancient forests and energy lakes. The villa glowed with a soft luster under the light of an artificial sun.
"Mr. Ye Chuan, this is your temporary residence," Su Rui said as she led the group into the living room.
"All service personnel have been strictly screened and are on standby 24 hours a day. If you have any needs, you can notify me through the smart butler."
"Not bad." Ye Chuan casually sat on the sofa and pointed to the seat opposite him.
"Sit down, I have something for you to do."
Su Rui sat down as instructed, but unconsciously frowned.
What she feared most was Ye Chuan making sudden demands, especially after witnessing how unreasonable he could be.
"Please speak."
"I want all of the Federation's civilization records," Ye Chuan cut straight to the chase.
"The history of all the star domains currently in the Federation's hands, their tech trees, transcendent systems, detailed information on Outer God invasions, and records of extinct civilizations. I want all of it."
Su Rui's face didn't look too good.
She composed herself. "Mr. Ye Chuan, that's impossible!"
"Impossible?" Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow.
"Why is it impossible?"
Su Rui took a deep breath. "They contain our core military technologies, the defense deployments of various star domains, and a lot of history that cannot be made public."
"According to Federation law, only the Supreme Speaker and a few ministers are qualified to review the full contents."
"I don't care about any of that," Ye Chuan said. "I don't care about your military or your secrets. I just want the data regarding civilizations."
"Of course, you can filter out the military stuff and dark history beforehand. I don't mind."
Su Rui wanted to argue, but meeting Ye Chuan's icy eyes, she swallowed all her words.
"I need to report this to the Supreme Speaker immediately," Su Rui stood up with difficulty.
"I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Go on," Ye Chuan waved his hand. "Don't keep me waiting too long."
Su Rui practically fled the villa.
It wasn't until she boarded her flying vehicle that she let out a long sigh of relief.
Those short few minutes just now were more agonizing than any negotiation she had ever been in.
She immediately dialed the Supreme Speaker's communicator. The Speaker's exhausted face instantly appeared on the screen. "What is it?"
"That man... he wants all the records documented by our Federation."
"What?!"

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
