Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 195 Highest Score Mission

Exiting the virtual universe, Minghai summoned a small 'blood realm passage' with a diameter of two meters in the room and stepped inside.

Spacetime transformation.

The next moment, he appeared above a vast sea of ​​blood spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, surrounded by meteorites covering millions of kilometers in the Kuiper Belt of the distant Milky Way solar system.

With his blood-red hair flowing down his shoulders and clad in silver armor, the true form of the Blood Demon hovered above the sea of ​​blood. He looked around, then took out a Void World Ring and tossed it down.

'whoosh'

The world ring quickly disappeared into the endless sea of ​​blood.

Within a hundred kilometers, all the blood disappeared instantly, entering the inner space of the World Ring.

‘Swish swish’

The 100,000-kilometer-long sea of ​​blood is visibly decreasing rapidly.

90,000 kilometers, 80,000 kilometers...

Half an hour later, the once blood-red ocean disappeared, leaving behind an empty cosmic void and countless meteorites of varying sizes floating in the void.

After putting away the world ring containing the Blood Sea, Minghai took out the 'Ice Void Sword' and slashed it at the void in front of him.

Sizzle~~~
A massive, dark spatial rift, hundreds of meters long and over thirty meters wide, appeared in the cosmos.

Surrounded by the power of laws, Minghai stepped into the sea.

Behind them, the spatial rift rapidly shrank and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The original universe has an amazing resilience. It can quickly recover from spatial cracks that are hundreds of meters long, or even hundreds of kilometers or billions of kilometers long.

In the dark universe.

It was pitch black all around, devoid of any life, desolate and lonely.

Minghai took out the World Ring and activated his mental power slightly.

Wow! ! !
Protected by the ninefold domain and spatial laws, endless blood surged out in all directions from the World Ring as its center.

Shortly afterward, a massive, blood-red, hemispherical ocean, 100,000 kilometers in diameter, appeared in the void, empty, and lifeless interlayer of space.

At the edge of the sea of ​​blood, the light of domains and laws flickered, and small branches of spatial laws such as 'cutting' and 'penetrating' appeared, isolating the surrounding void from the space in which they were located.

"no problem!"

After experiencing it for a while, Minghai revealed a smile.

Just as he had thought, the power of the 100,000-mile-long Blood Sea was inexhaustible, far surpassing that of the Blood Demon himself. It could easily survive for a long time in the spatial interlayer by manipulating the power of laws.

The only downside is that, due to insufficient life level, survival here requires constantly burning blood to maintain the isolation of the surrounding void and protect the vast domain formed by the laws of the Blood Sea.

This is something that is difficult to avoid.

Although the Blood Sea possesses immense power, its life level is too low to directly adapt to this lifeless void, requiring it to be isolated from the surrounding space.

The price is that you have to constantly burn blood.

"It doesn't matter much!"

After silently calculating for a moment, Minghai nodded slightly.

This burning of blood does not place a heavy burden on the Blood Sea, amounting to only a few hundred cubic meters per second. Given the vast scale of the Blood Sea, spanning 100,000 kilometers, this is sufficient to sustain it for tens of thousands of years.

As his understanding of the laws improves, the energy consumption of constructing a large-scale domain within the Blood Sea will gradually decrease.

After a few years, when one advances to the realm master level, this consumption will be greatly reduced.

After becoming immortal, they no longer need to burn blood; they can exist safely in the spatial interlayer on their own.

It's not a kingdom of gods, but it's better than a kingdom of gods!

……

one year later.

Qiongyu Star.

Xiangshui City.

A luxurious estate covering thousands of square kilometers.

‘Swish swish’

Three beings, each radiating powerful immortal divine energy, flew in from afar and landed on a lush green lawn in the manor.

"It's been a year since we last met, but the three of you still look as radiant as ever!"

Minghai, who was waiting there, saw the three of them and his eyes lit up. He walked up to them with a smile and greeted them.

"The Underworld Inspector is truly exceptional; the three of us admire him immensely!"

Those who arrived were none other than the three giants of the Virtual Universe Company's branch in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom: Purple Lightning Marquis, Black Annihilation Marquis, and Golden Feather Marquis. Upon hearing this, they all smiled and spoke. The four understood each other without much formality. Not long after they met, the ape-man Purple Lightning Marquis raised his hand and released a spaceship that was twenty-seven or twenty-eight kilometers long.

The spaceship has a pointed nose, a long hull, and an overall spindle shape. It is silver-white with smooth curves, and its surface is engraved with countless mysterious patterns containing profound and mysterious laws.

"Look, Underworld Inspector, this is the 'Firefly,' a high-end F-class spaceship produced by the shipbuilding department of Virtual Universe Company!"

The woman in black robes, Hei Yanhou, introduced herself in a clear voice:
"With various secret runes engraved inside and out by the company's master rune engravers, the 'Firefly' can reach speeds of 68 times the speed of light in the dark universe. Its hull is incredibly sturdy and can withstand attacks from King-level immortals!"

With a smile on his face, Marquis Heiyan gave Minghai a detailed introduction to the 'Firefly' ship. Marquis Zidian and Marquis Jinyu, who were standing to the side, also smiled and were very friendly.

After a year, they had figured it out. Since they had given such a generous gift, they had to build a good relationship with Minghai. They didn't have to become close friends, but at least they couldn't make Minghai dislike them.

Otherwise, wouldn't this expensive spaceship, which costs as much as ten million Chaos Units within the Virtual Universe Company and can fetch more than thirty million Chaos Units at auction, be given away for free?

"Mmmmmmm!"

As Minghai listened, he nodded in satisfaction. After Hei Yanhou finished his introduction, he smiled and said:

"Thank you all for your generosity, I am deeply grateful!"

He was very satisfied with the 'Firefly' ship and naturally did not hesitate to express his gratitude.

Of course, this is limited to verbal thanks.

Don't even think about making any promises.

……

The manor's attic.

"Now that we have the 'Firefly' spaceship, it's time to apply for a treasure hunt at the 'Garbage Mountain'!"

"In my residence," Minghai thought to himself, stroking his chin.

The reason why he didn't directly advance to the realm master and instead came here to be some kind of special envoy for inspection is precisely for this purpose, isn't it?

Upon logging into the virtual universe, Minghai prepared to apply to purchase supplies from the 'Garbage Mountain' and obtain 'Taobao' qualifications.

'Taobao' is just an invisible benefit after purchasing supplies from 'Garbage Mountain'; it's not a formal project, and he couldn't directly apply for 'Taobao'.

"drop!"

"Received an email from a senior executive at Virtual Universe Company!"

Just as Minghai was about to submit his application, the virtual assistant suddenly reminded him.

"An email? From a high-ranking executive at Virtual Universe Company?"

Minghai was somewhat surprised. He casually opened the email and was immediately stunned.

The email's subject was clearly 'Domain Master Level Highest Score Task'.

"The highest score mission? How come it's been released so quickly?"

Minghai was secretly puzzled.

He certainly knew about this task.

All core members of the Virtual Universe Company will receive tasks assigned by the Virtual Universe Company when they reach the Domain Lord level. These tasks have varying point values, and one of them is the so-called highest point task.

However, the highest-scoring missions are usually issued after decades or even centuries of overseas assignments. How come his was issued so quickly?
Even in the original timeline, Luo Feng served as a special envoy for over fifty years before the top executives of the Virtual Universe Company issued him the highest-scoring mission.

"You've only been in office for a year, and you're already issuing the highest-scoring mission? Are you afraid I might become a Realm Lord at any moment and miss out on the highest-scoring mission?"

"Or perhaps, some high-ranking figures in the Virtual Universe Company are eager to pass the highest-scoring mission assessment to understand my personality and temperament, and whether I am worth the company's investment in cultivating."

Touching his chin, Minghai guessed.

Probably!

Virtual Universe Company spares no effort in cultivating geniuses, providing them with all kinds of treatment and doing everything possible to meet their needs.

Of course, obtaining these benefits is not easy. Virtual Universe Company and the other four major forces all adhere to the principle of nurturing talent with both opportunities and risks, and will not allow geniuses to easily obtain those generous benefits.

This can be seen from the fact that the death rate of geniuses in the four great secret realms throughout history is as high as 90%.

However, it must be said that the human race's high-ranking officials do indeed attach great importance to the cultivation of geniuses. Treasures and opportunities that even cosmic venerables covet, such as Blood Crystal and the inheritance of divine generals, are openly supplied to internal geniuses.

However, this kind of training is not without its limits. In addition to providing generous treatment, it also comes with huge risks and tests the character and temperament of these geniuses.

If a genius is selfish, narrow-minded, and disregards the overall interests of humanity, the higher-ups of humanity may also give up on nurturing him.

After all, nobody wants to raise an ungrateful child.

"interesting!"

Thinking of this, Minghai chuckled.
