【Black Monkey King told you that the universe was vast. Each individual galaxy was so enormous that, even to an Immortal King, its expanse seemed boundless.】
【Finding good stuff in other galaxies was like searching for a needle in a haystack. You needed luck, and you had to ask around everywhere.】
【But in the Milky Way Galaxy, there was no need for such trouble.】
【“Just head for a special-grade planet.”】
【“Makes sense. There are very few special-grade planets, so they must be packed with heavenly treasures! But how do we get there? I only have one year. I’m afraid I’ll spend the whole time riding a starship. Forget it—we’d better conquer Purple Violet Star!”】
【Black Monkey King was puzzled.】
【“One year? Brother, are you dying? No wonder there’s blackness rising from your head. Is that the aura of death?”】
【“No, I’ve got plenty of life left! It’s just that I’ll be replaced after another year! So we have to hurry and conquer Purple Violet Star!”】
【“What’s so great about conquering some lousy first-grade planet? I’ll take you to a special-grade planet and broaden your horizons. Don’t worry, we can open a spatial tunnel directly. We’ll cross the stars in the blink of an eye—no need to ride a starship!”】
【“You can jump through space directly? You’re that powerful? Is that something an Immortal King can do?”】
【“Hmph! Do you think I’ve traveled across the universe, made friends everywhere, and sampled heavenly treasures in all sorts of places by riding around on some slow starship? Besides, some galaxies don’t even have established routes.”】
【You and Black Monkey King hit it off immediately.】
【You decided to join forces and conquer a special-grade planet. Black Monkey King wanted bananas and fine wine, while you wanted power and status!】
【As for cultivation, comprehending divine abilities, and the grand blueprint for reviving humanity?】
【You had long since thrown all of that out the window while under the influence of the Venom state.】
【The survivors of the Kindling Society on Purple Violet Star were still fleeing for their lives, while you had already arrived in outer space with Black Monkey King.】
【“Brother Monkey, how do we do this? Do you need me to help with anything?”】
【“Hahaha! No need! All it takes is one swing of this staff!”】
【Black Monkey King raised the black iron staff in his hand. It rapidly grew larger, until it was as enormous as a mountain.】
【No wonder he had to use it in space. There simply wasn’t enough room to wield the thing on the ground.】
【“Open!”】
【Black Monkey King let out a booming shout. His aura surged violently, and although there was no air in space, a tangible force still erupted outward in all directions.】
【With all his strength, Black Monkey King smashed the space ahead of him to pieces.】
【Then he plucked a tuft of black fur from his head and blew hard on it.】
【The monkey hairs flew into the shattered space. Each one expanded many times over, joining together to form a tunnel made of monkey hair.】
【“Move! This tunnel won’t last long!”】
【Black Monkey King leaped into it.】
【You followed close behind, yelling wildly as you jumped in after him.】
【“Conquer the special-grade planet! Conquer the Ares Immortal Kingdom! Conquer the Southern Star Realm!”】
【You had barely stepped inside when the tunnel closed. Fortunately, you had been quick; otherwise, you would have had to travel separately from him.】
【In the blink of an eye, you found yourself in a different region of space.】
【Purple Violet Star was gone beneath your feet. In its place was a gray, gloomy planet.】
【“What kind of special-grade planet is this?”】
【Black Monkey King took a look and said,】
【“Oh, brother, that’s obviously not a special-grade planet. It’s a resource planet whose core has been completely mined out.”】
【“Then the one beside it must be the special-grade planet.”】
【“Oh, brother, that’s obviously not a special-grade planet either. It’s the satellite of this resource planet—in other words, its moon.”】
【“Then where’s the special-grade planet?”】
【“Oh, brother, it’s obvious that we didn’t find the special-grade planet.”】
【You were left completely speechless for several seconds by this man before finally processing what he had said.】
【“That move you just used… was it random teleportation?”】
【“Yes.”】
【“Yes?! How can you admit that so openly?!”】
【“Brother, crossing the universe at will and going wherever you want is a technique belonging to an Immortal Emperor. The fact that I can perform a random teleport over a certain distance is already quite impressive.”】
【“Then where the hell are we?!”】
【“I don’t know.”】
【“You don’t know?!”】
【“It doesn’t matter. Once I’ve recovered some immortal power, we’ll swing the staff again. Next time, we’ll definitely run into a special-grade planet.”】
【“What?! I might as well have stayed on Purple Violet Star and conquered it! You’re dragging me all over the place at random. This is no different from wandering around like a headless fly!”】
【“Hahaha! Brother, what are you afraid of? We’ve got plenty of time. We’ll find a good place eventually. That’s how it’s always worked for me.”】
【“Can’t you understand plain speech? I told you I only have one year!”】
【Black Monkey King closed his eyes and began circulating his cultivation technique to speed up the recovery of his immortal power.】
【You were left with a dark look on your face. You clenched your fists, wanting to beat this fellow senseless.】
【But then you remembered that you had no means of traveling through space. There wasn’t even a star route anywhere nearby, so you could only swallow your anger.】
【“I’ve boarded a pirate ship. Damn it!”】
“Damn it… This has completely thrown off the simulation’s plan!”
Chen Yi did make plans with the possibility of failure or disruption in mind, and he had prepared contingencies and recovery measures for such situations.
But he never imagined that he would simply run off!
He had no idea where Black Monkey King had sent his simulated self. The only thing he could be sure of was that they were probably still somewhere within the Milky Way Galaxy.
Even if he replaced Venom a year later, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to find his way back to that region of space. He would have to start searching all over again.
And that wasn’t even the worst of it.
The two of them were now planning to go to those special-grade planets and rob them of their heavenly treasures.
There were very few special-grade planets. They were places where deadly zones were as common as stray dogs, experts who could reach the heavens could be found everywhere, and Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings were a dime a dozen!
Wasn’t this basically stirring up trouble in the domain of a supreme power?
They were practically begging to die!
“Heaven help me. Please don’t let Black Monkey King find a special-grade planet. Just drag this out for a year…”
【After a while, Black Monkey King recovered. He once again raised his staff to split open the Gate of Heaven, then plucked out his hair to construct a tunnel.】
【“Boom!”】
【“Let’s go, brother!”】
【You followed Black Monkey King through the tunnel once more, looking utterly dispirited.】
【“Where are we this time?”】
【“A third-grade planet—Cape Monte Star.”】
【“Heh. You actually recognize it…”】
【“We’ve been here before. This is where the royal family of the Ares Immortal Kingdom raises hippopotamuses. Hahaha, brother, you really ought to go down and see those hippos taking a dump. It’s an absolute spectacle!”】
【“Why would I want to watch hippos take a dump… And why does the Ares royal family raise hippos…”】
【Black Monkey King made you question your entire existence.】
【It had taken you considerable effort to turn evil this time. You had planned to conquer the world, proclaim yourself king, and do whatever you pleased.】
【Then you would leave a huge mess behind for your normal self to clean up.】
【Instead, you were now wandering around aimlessly with a monkey for no apparent reason.】
【The more you thought about it, the angrier you became. While Black Monkey King was recovering his immortal power, you charged into Cape Monte Star and vented your fury on the hippos.】
【Don’t get the wrong idea. You didn’t do anything to the hippos beyond killing every last one of them.】
