Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 97 Earth Lord
'Wow~'

The next moment, the golden leaf in his hand turned into dust and vanished.

After the golden light entered his body, Lu Jin saw that his soul, protected by the illusory bell formed by the soul secret technique "Clock of Time and Space," was tinged with a faint golden light in his sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, Lu Jin's affinity with the Law of Light, already at the level of a favored child of the Laws, increased exponentially, and the fluctuations of the fundamental Law of Light in the universe became clearer than ever before.

Moreover, not only the fluctuations of the fundamental law of light, but also the fluctuations of the fundamental law of time in the universe have become much clearer.

However, the fluctuations of the other seven lower-level fundamental laws are much more blurred because they have not mastered the corresponding attribute domains.

As for the fluctuations of the fundamental laws of the higher space, it can be said that they were not perceived.

Unless one is a special life form with special knowledge of spatial laws, if one's understanding of lower-level spatial laws is insufficient, one should not even think about comprehending higher-level spatial laws.

Clearing his mind of distractions, Lu Jin devoted himself entirely to comprehending the fundamental laws of light.

Half a month later, Lu Jin temporarily stopped cultivating and left the world ring.

Although the temporary effects of the golden leaves of the Kras Ancient Tree were still present, the pale golden light emanating from the soul had only dimmed by about half.

But tonight is New Year's Eve, and he is, after all, the nominal patriarch of the Lu family. Besides, he is not without relatives and friends, so it would be inappropriate for him not to see anyone.

Fortunately, it's not too wasteful. Even without trying to comprehend the laws, the pale golden light emanating from the soul will still gradually fade, but at a much slower rate. Taking a break from cultivation for a day or two won't hurt.

However, after the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Jin returned to a state of full-time cultivation.

Another month and a half later, on March 9th, 2066 in the Chinese calendar.

virtual universe.

"Wow—"

Suddenly, a black banner, over a million miles long and radiating light at its edges, appeared out of thin air above Black Dragon Mountain Island under the cover of night.

On the huge, entirely black notice board, there were characters that emitted a dazzling white light.

"Universe Humanity - Battle of the Pinnacle Geniuses!"

"Once in a million years!"

"Coming soon!"

"Held jointly by Virtual Universe Corporation and all the universe nations!"

"."

"For more details, please access the 'Virtual Universe Network' official website through Assistive Intelligence."

This suspended notice appears not only on Black Dragon Mountain Island in the virtual universe.

In the virtual universe, every continent representing the 'Cosmic Kingdom' and every island representing the 'Cosmic Medium Kingdom' displayed a huge floating notice.

Thanks to the convenience of the virtual universe, the news that the Virtual Universe Company was about to hold a genius battle spread throughout the 1008 human universe nations overnight.

On the other side, on Earth, inside the World Ring.

On the castle balcony, Lu Jin was trying to comprehend the fundamental laws of light.

Suddenly, Fatty's voice rang out: "Master, the battle of geniuses is about to begin."

"Inform Luo Feng of the message."

Lu Jin, who had withdrawn from cultivation, said, "Log my consciousness into the virtual universe."

After registering for the Genius Battle on the official website of the Virtual Universe Company, Lu Jin left the Virtual Universe, exited the World Ring, and boarded the Radiant Spaceship to travel to Qiulong Star.

With the battle of geniuses about to begin, he can now confidently purchase all ownership of the Earth.

Earth's dark cosmic coordinates were concealed by Hu Yanbo using spatial secret techniques, unless an immortal of at least the strength of a Marquis intervened.

Otherwise, to reach Earth from the outside world, one would have to travel through a natural wormhole in the Milky Way's void, using a spaceship at sub-light speed, which would take at least two years and eight months.

With his strength, two years and eight months later, he would definitely have become one of the focal points of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's Genius Battle.

With this aura in place, those who are not strong enough will not dare to plot against Earth.

Those who are powerful enough will certainly look down on Earth.

After all, on the surface, Earth was merely the territory of an immortal who had barely been granted a title.

Two days later, Lu Jin, accompanied by his Radiant Guards, entered the government office of the Dragon Star Empire.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" a receptionist asked.

"I've discovered an unclaimed planet inhabited by life, and I'm going to buy it."

Lu Jin said.

"Okay sir, please follow me."

The receptionist paused for a moment, then smiled and said...

On the 36th floor of the Imperial Government Office, in a reception room.

A young official, whose rank was at the stellar level and who had two golden horns on his head, said, "Mr. Lu, are you sure you want to purchase this life-bearing planet called 'Earth' as ​​described in the information?"

"determine."

Lu Jin nodded.

"Mr. Lu, you may not know this, but according to the Imperial Headquarters, Earth is classified as a life-bearing planet of the highest standard."

As the first person to provide information about Earth, you have the first right to purchase.

However, according to Imperial law, the purchase price you need to pay is three trillion Black Dragon Coins, the highest tier for a habitable planet.

The young official said solemnly.

"I've bought it. How long will it take to complete all the procedures?"

Lu Jin nodded and asked.

The young official said, "According to imperial law, it will take at the latest 30 days, and as soon as a few days."

Raising an eyebrow, Lu Jin asked, "If you can get it done within two hours, I'll give you ten thousand universe coins. Any problem?"

Lu Jin's tone was calm, but his words stirred up a storm in the young official's heart.

Good heavens! Ten thousand universe coins?!
Even according to the official exchange rate, 10,000 Cosmic Coins would be equivalent to 33 million Qianwu Coins or 33 billion Black Dragon Coins!
Great wealth and fortune!

"Sir, absolutely no problem!"

The young official stood up and bowed respectfully.

This bow wasn't addressed to Lu Jin, but rather to the fragrant ten thousand universe coins.

Then, the young official said, "Sir, purchasing a life-bearing planet involves many departments and requires some bribing at various levels. What do you think?"

Lu Jin said, "Give me your bank account."

After receiving the other party's Cosmic Galaxy Bank account information, Lu Jin transferred 1000 Cosmic Coins to them.

Incidentally, I paid three trillion Black Dragon Coins to purchase Earth, which is equivalent to 60 Cosmic Coins.

Then, Lu Jin warned, "If you do things well, my previous promises will be kept in the slightest. But if you don't, you'd better watch out."

"Please rest assured, sir!"

The young official was invigorated and quickly patted his chest to assure him.

He knew exactly what Lu Jin meant, even without Lu Jin's special warning.

Taking money without doing anything is only useful for ordinary people.

If you take money from a tycoon or a powerful person but fail to get things done, then it's not wealth, it's money earned by risking your life.

"Go~"

Lu Jin waved his hand.

1 hour and 43 minutes later.

"Dear Mr. Lu, I have accomplished my mission! From this day forward, you are the ruler of Earth."

Wiping the sweat from his busy work, the young official said with a smile.

'good. ’

Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction and instructed Fatty to transfer the remaining 9000 Cosmic Coins as a tip to the other party's bank account.

From this moment on, legally speaking, the Earth is his private property.
