Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 323 Order
Half a day later, an order was issued to the temple that guards the Earth, as well as to the management of Earth's immigration administration and the management of Earth's original inhabitants.

This command is concise and clear—

From the date of this order, immigrants are strictly prohibited from setting foot on land or in its airspace, and native inhabitants of Earth are similarly prohibited from entering ocean areas or in their airspace. Anyone who dares to violate this order will be killed without exception!

"What!" At that moment, the blue-armored man, King Jieli, who was laughing and playing with the beautiful woman, roared upon hearing the order.

"Who...who gave this order?" King Jie Li was both anxious and furious, his eyes bloodshot as if they were about to spit fire. "I must report this to the higher-ups at the Giant Axe Arena! I must!"

At first glance, the order seems to treat both sides equally, but in reality, it is blatantly aimed at alien immigrants while protecting Earth's native inhabitants.

After all, the alien immigrants wield immense power on Earth, with deeply entrenched forces behind them. They often swagger around the land cities, wantonly oppressing Earthlings, and who among them dares to resist? Among the immigrants are many powerful individuals, with Domain Lord-level and World Lord-level guards being commonplace. In contrast, the original inhabitants of Earth are pitifully weak.

Conversely, Earth's native inhabitants have always avoided the oceans and their airspace, never daring to set foot on the territory of the immigrants. Otherwise, small spaceships monitored by the alien immigrants would appear like ghosts and swiftly abduct the Earthlings!

For a long time, the original inhabitants of Earth could only huddle on the land, silently enduring the humiliation of alien immigrants.

……

Soon, the three immortal kings of the alien immigrant management team gathered urgently.

Among them, the one representing the Virtual Universe Company is "Feng Chen Wang", the one representing the Giant Axe Arena is "Jie Li Wang", and the one representing the three forces of the Universe First Bank, Star River Bank and Mercenary Alliance is a woman named "Huang Shi Wang".

Of the three, Huang Shi Wang was the most powerful, having reached the peak of being a king.

Both Feng Chen Wang and Jie Li Wang are much weaker.

"This is outrageous! How can this be allowed? Who issued this order? Didn't they consult with the higher-ups at the Giant Axe Arena? I must report this and demand an explanation!" King Jie Li roared furiously.

"Report it, this is the order from the Lord of Chaos City," King Fengchen said calmly and casually.

Upon hearing this, King Jieli's eyes widened instantly, and he stammered out a few words: "A scoundrel, a scoundrel..."

The First Emperor was equally astonished.

"The information is accurate." King Fengchen nodded in confirmation. "It was indeed an order personally issued by the Lord of Chaos City."

"It must be Jiang Ye's doing! Luo Feng from Earth is just a nominal disciple now, how could he have such abilities? That despicable Jiang Ye!" King Jie Li gritted his teeth, his heart burning with jealousy. He thought of how he had spent countless years cultivating to the level of a King-level Immortal, yet he had never even seen the face of the Ancestor, the "Lord of Void Gold," while Jiang Ye could actually get the Lord of Chaos City to issue an order. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth; how could he not feel resentful?
"Even if it really was Jiang Ye who did it, what can you do about it?" King Fengchen looked at him coldly.

King Jieli was trembling with rage, yet he was utterly helpless.

After all, Luo Feng signed a contract with Virtual Universe Company back then, and the control of Earth was in the hands of Virtual Universe Company, not Giant Axe Arena.

The fact that the Giant Axe Arena was able to send a large number of young couples to Earth already came at a huge cost, but in the fundamental affairs of Earth's management, the Virtual Universe Company ultimately has the final say.

The Lord of Chaos City is the top leader of the Virtual Universe Company. He holds a high position and great power within the company, and who would dare to disobey his orders?

King Jieli gritted his teeth: "This order... even the strictest orders have loopholes..."

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly—

An incomparably powerful and terrifying aura rose from the Earth, instantly enveloping the entire planet. Whether it was the native inhabitants of the continents of Asia, Europe, and South America, or the alien immigrants in the floating cities above the vast oceans of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, they all clearly felt this domineering aura that made them tremble.

"what?"

"what happened?"

"Which powerful figure is making a move?"

The three immortal kings of the immigration management team flashed and instantly flew high above the floating city. With their extraordinary eyesight, they could easily see the scenery thousands of kilometers away.

"That is--"

The three of them were instantly drawn to the scene before them, and they stood frozen in place as if their bodies were frozen in place.

Towering vines, like ancient behemoths bursting forth from the earth's depths, appeared on every piece of land on Earth in a breathtaking display. These vines soared into the clouds, piercing the atmosphere, each tens of thousands of kilometers high. With their keen eyesight, they could clearly see hundreds of these vines.

"Star-eating grass!"

"Immortal Star-Eating Grass!" The female emperor, First King, exclaimed in disbelief. "Every vine exudes the same aura, clearly originating from the same Immortal Star-Eating Grass."

"Quickly check how many main vines there are!" King Fengchen said.

"Qian Teng!" King Jie Li's voice trembled slightly, sounding very low.

"Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass, an Immortal-grade Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass, who is so wealthy? Cultivating an Immortal-grade Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass would cost hundreds of billions of Chaos Units!" Huang Shi Wang's eyes were filled with shock and doubt. "The native inhabitants of Earth could not possibly have such financial resources. Could it be Jiang Ye? But where did he get so much wealth? Even after breaking through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, he only received a reward of 100 billion points, which is far from enough to cultivate the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass."

"Needless to say, it must have been given to him by the Lord of Chaos City. How could the wealth of a mere Realm Lord be enough?" King Jieli sneered and said disdainfully.

Although this Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass possesses the strength of a peak-level King, due to the special attributes of its plant life, its toughness and sharpness are in no way inferior to those of a human powerhouse at the limit of the King level!
Furthermore, its enormous size gives it a certain advantage even when facing human powerhouses at the peak of the King realm. Moreover, its vitality is extremely tenacious, far stronger than that of human King realm powerhouses; even the strongest Fire God Source Crystal would find it difficult to destroy... The branches and leaves of the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass spread out over a range of a million kilometers, while the range of the strongest Fire God Source Crystal is simply insignificant compared to that.

"Virtual Universe Corporation has issued an order!"

A chilling voice, like a resounding bell, echoed across the entire Earth, clearly reaching the ears of every Earthling and every extraterrestrial immigrant: "From this moment forward, all extraterrestrial immigrants are forbidden from setting foot on land or in their airspace, and all native Earthlings are forbidden from venturing into the sea or in their airspace. Violators… die! This plant, the immortal-grade Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass, will be stationed at the edge of the continent, responsible for its protection. Whether native Earthlings or extraterrestrial immigrants, anyone who dares to violate this prohibition will be killed without exception!"

The sound echoed between heaven and earth for a long time.

This caused an uproar among all of humanity on Earth, whether they were native inhabitants or extraterrestrial immigrants. The native inhabitants of Earth cheered and rejoiced.

"Haha, those despicable immigrants will never dare to come again."

"Great, we finally don't have to suffer their bullying anymore."

"Who was that voice just now? They actually arranged for an Immortal-level expert to be stationed here?"

"Fool, who else could help us Earthlings? It must be our Earth Lord Luo Feng."

"But this sound doesn't sound quite like the voice in the historical footage!"

"You're even more stupid. This kind of thing must have been an order from Lord Luo Feng's men!"

……

Just as the native inhabitants of Earth were cheering, the alien immigrants also erupted in jubilation, except that they were erupting in anger.

"Who gave the order to forbid us from entering the land? We didn't hear of such a rule when we came here."

"Who on earth dares to be so audacious? Even if it was an order from higher-ups, who would dare to place a Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass on Earth to threaten us? This is outrageous! It's a blatant threat to our lives!"

……

As the natives and immigrants were in an uproar, the three immortal kings, King Jieli, King Fengchen, and King Huangshi, quickly flew to the outer edge of the Asian continent. At the same time, Jiang Ye also arrived at the edge of the Asian continent, and the two sides faced each other from a distance.

"Your Highness Jiang Ye." King Feng Chen was quite polite, bowing slightly in greeting.

“King Fengchen.” Jiang Ye smiled and nodded in response; he naturally recognized King Fengchen.

"Jiang Ye, even with the orders of the Chaos City Lord, you cannot hide this Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass deep in the land." Jie Li Wang roared angrily, his eyes wide open. "This is clearly a threat to all the immigrants. We will obey the orders of the Chaos City Lord, but you must take away that Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass."

Jiang Ye glanced at him coldly, then smiled and said to King Fengchen and King Huangshi, "Gentlemen, we will talk again in the Hong Alliance in the future. I will take my leave now."

King Fengchen and King Huangshi both nodded. The news that Jiang Ye had been specially recruited into the Hong Alliance after traversing the Primal Tongtian Mountain had already spread like wildfire throughout the universe, and the two of them had naturally heard of it. However, they were unaware that Jiang Ye had two other identities within the Hong Alliance, and even less aware that the legendary, terrifying figure who instilled fear in everyone was none other than Jiang Ye, the one who killed the Golden King.

"Stop!" Jie Li Wang shouted upon seeing this. "Jiang Ye, why are you helping these lowly Earthlings!"

Jiang Ye turned his head and glanced at him again, then his figure flashed and he disappeared without a trace, leaving only a cold voice echoing in the air: "Idiot!"

King Jieli's face immediately turned red, while King Fengchen and King Huangshi beside him looked at him as if he were a fool.

In their eyes, King Jieli was utterly foolish. What was Jiang Ye's identity? He was the personal disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, while King Jieli was just a marginalized member of the family who had never even seen the Lord of Void Gold once.

Given the vast difference in their status, Jiang Ye simply couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to the King of Jieli who dared to roar like that!
"King Jie Li, I advise you to be careful. Don't impulsively cross the border and get killed by that Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass. With your strength and the importance your family places on you, you won't make the resurrection list! You'll really perish then!" King Feng Chen said calmly, then transformed into a streak of light and left.

Of the three, King Fengchen and King Jieli have always been at odds, while King Huangshi has always played the role of peacemaker.

"King Jie Li, calm down," King Huang Shi said softly. "The reason he didn't do anything to you when you provoked Prince Jiang Ye was because you have a large number of immigrants backing you. These hundreds of billions of immigrants represent super families, and behind these super families are either cosmic rulers or regional overlords. As for you personally... given Jiang Ye's status, he really doesn't take you seriously. Look at your only asset, your own strength. He can easily kill you with just a single Immortal Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass. Having worked with you for a while, I'm just kindly reminding you not to end up losing your life."

After saying that, with a whoosh, Emperor Shi Wang also transformed into a streak of light and flew away at high speed.

King Jieli stood alone in mid-air, looking down at the distant border of the Asian continent. His face turned pale and then red. After struggling for a long time, he could only turn around and fly back with resentment in his heart.

But he didn't know how powerful Jiang Ye was. Offending Jiang Ye was not something that could be easily resolved.

……

Soon after this incident, two arrogant immigrants, who ignored the ban, were mercilessly killed by the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass.

The other immigrants also quickly received confirmation that the order was indeed true, and at the same time, they also received strict orders from higher-ups!

Immediately, all the immigrants became obedient. After all, as the first person in charge of the Virtual Universe Company, who would dare to disobey the orders of the Chaos City Lord?
Earthlings were overjoyed. They no longer had to live a life of subservience and humiliation. From now on, they could live happily and freely in their own home.

All of this predates the original story by ten thousand years.

……

In the virtual universe, within Jiang Ye's original manor area.

A young man in black armor flashed into view and arrived at the spot.

"This is the original manor area of ​​the Realm Lord level," the black-armored youth murmured.

"Hmm, Luo Feng, look, this architectural style feels similar to your Earth's style!" At this moment, an intelligent life form resembling a little devil on the shoulder of the black-armored youth shouted.

Luo Feng was slightly taken aback, then carefully examined the surrounding buildings. The pavilions and towers were arranged in a well-organized manner, and the flying eaves and brackets exuded an ancient charm, which was indeed somewhat similar to the traditional architectural style of Earth.

"I never expected that Jiang Ye would incorporate Earth elements into this virtual universe's primitive manor," Luo Feng remarked, feeling an even greater affinity for Jiang Ye.

"Babata, come on, let's go inside!"
