Swallowing the Stars: The Supreme Being of All Heavens

Chapter 64 An Amazing Underground Discovery

In the virtual universe, on the island of Jialan, under the Demon King's rule in the Flowing Cloud Continent, lies a massive plaza.

The lights were dazzling, creating a dreamlike and mesmerizing atmosphere. The audience, numbering in the millions, was packed with people. Above them, a giant 3D screen displayed images in all directions, allowing for a clearer view of the details on stage. Suk sat with a group of relatives and friends, watching the song and dance performance below.

The younger sisters in the Zuo family couldn't handle such a crowded and exciting scene the most. Watching the concert, they excitedly shouted "Ah, ah!" and their faces turned red.

Whoosh!

"Lazuli! Lazuli! I love you!"

"Yasina, you are my goddess!"

"Nami, I will always support you!"

Countless enthusiastic spectators in the arena were chanting different names. They came from different star systems and races, but they all had the same supporters. At this moment, these voices were earth-shattering, as if they had broken through the sky, which was awe-inspiring.

Suk sat perfectly still, unmoved by anything, not even a flicker of his brow, simply enjoying the novelty.

Saki then commented on which female singer was pretty and which male singer was ugly, implying that he was more handsome but lacked singing talent, otherwise he should be standing with the female singers.

Aloy, dressed in a white dress, sat aloofly next to Suk.

"Suker, which of the female singers below do you think is prettier?" Eloi suddenly asked.

"Of course, it's the biggest one," Saki interjected.

Eloi and Suk watched him in silence, but Saki grinned and gave him a thumbs up, completely unconcerned.

"Haha, this red-haired brat is hilarious." The voice of the little girl in the white dress, sitting on Eloi's shoulders and munching on a piece of fruit, echoed in Eloi's mind. "But he's quite honest, loyal to his desires and daring to speak them out, upright and honest, and his personality is alright."

"That white-haired kid, he's a bit of a brooding pervert, always acting furtively and suspiciously, he's definitely not a good person."

"He's so good-looking, he should just get a sex change." Bubble-sama looked at Suk with obvious prejudice. "Eloi, haven't you always wanted to pass on our sect's secret techniques to him? Hehe, that's not impossible, but our sect rules state that we only pass them on to women, not men. If you let him get a sex change, I might consider it..." The little girl's wicked laughter sounded like a demon's. If Suk heard that, he'd definitely rub her into the ground a hundred times over.

The concert came to a close amidst a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, and the audience began to leave.

"Suke, the concert's over. Shall we go practice in the virtual universe?" Zuo Mu and a few of his girlfriends came out, still feeling a bit unsatisfied. Although he wasn't a big fan of celebrities, he was the one who shouted the loudest just now.

"Playing games?" Suk wasn't interested in that now. Although his first pot of gold came from a lottery in a game on his 16th birthday, thinking about how his 17th birthday had passed and how drastic the changes around him had become, made him sigh. "Playing that is less appealing than going to the Duel Space."

The virtual universe has a "killing space" and a "battle space".

The Killing Space is designed specifically for one person. It allows you to create various opponents, making it an ideal training ground. However, it's expensive. A Planetary Level 9th ​​Rank character costs 1 million Jialan Coins per day. The higher the level, the higher the fee. For Domain Lords and Realm Lords, the daily fee is outrageous.

The Duel Space, however, is where true martial artists duel with each other!

The combatants are two real humans, not virtual beings, and the spending limit in the "Duel Space" is only one-tenth of that in the "Killing Space."

Suk has never been to the Killing Space, but he has been to the Duel Space a few times. Although it is virtual, it is real enough to allow you to experience the atmosphere of a life-or-death duel with different opponents.

"Duel space? Killing space? What's the point of going there? It's expensive, we're not stupid." Saki curled his lip. "We'd be better off opening our own virtual local area network, letting your subordinates come online, a hundred thousand of them, to fight with us to their hearts' content. Why waste money on this virtual universe?"

Suk laughed; what Saki said was true.

If I really want to find an opponent, I have 100,000 men under my command, each of them at least at the ninth level of the planetary realm, including martial artists, spirit masters, illusionists, and moreover, they don't have to spend any money and will wholeheartedly spar with me.

Although the cost of the Duel Space is only one-tenth that of the Killing Space, the opponents are random, and there is only a rating ranking.

Of course, you can choose to challenge an opponent, but whether the opponent responds or not is another matter.

The main reason is that their strength and cultivation level are too low, so they don't have this need.

For them, improving their physical fitness is the most important thing; things like combat experience are not so urgent.

Suk is currently only a fifth-tier planetary-level martial artist, and Zuo Mu is only a second-tier planetary-level mental power master.

Suk declined Zuomu's invitation, withdrew his consciousness from the virtual universe, and returned to reality.

When I opened my eyes, I saw myself sitting on the sofa in the room. The room was quiet and still, with silver moonlight streaming in through the window. It was night, and all was silent.

A line of pale gold text appeared before my eyes.

[Sixth Nirvana: 2%/Second Nirvana, Talent Comprehension +1]

【Starlight 18: 35%/Level 8】

"The progress is still a bit slow, as expected," Suk muttered to himself.

Several more days passed.

"Master." That day, Liu Mira, who was stationed on Planet Poker, urgently contacted Suk. The two had a video call in the virtual universe from Suk's villa, which he had built on a plot of land in a certain neighborhood. "I have something important to report to you."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Liu Mila's serious expression, Su Ke's face also turned serious. He had assigned Liu Mila to be stationed on Bo Star and to guard the Death Star Vine. Now that Liu Mila was contacting him so urgently, had something happened? At this thought, Su Ke's heart tightened.

"Master, we may have discovered the source of the poison gas on Planet Poker," Liu Mira said urgently. "Previously, we sent out a large number of small reconnaissance robots to search all parts of the planet, infiltrating every continent and ocean, while using various high-end instruments to probe both inside and outside the globe. However, those instruments did not find any problems. On the contrary, some of the small reconnaissance robots that went underground to search suffered losses in a certain area underground."

"Is there a problem with this?" Suk asked, puzzled.

Liu Mila's expression was grave. "Master, although the robot we purchased is small in size, its quality is still very high."

It uses ethereal metal, making it difficult to damage even from planetary-level attacks.

Suk realized that the natural forces of this planet could not possibly destroy these sturdy robots so easily.

"We sent out another robot to investigate the location where we lost contact, and what we found," Liu Mira said, "was a huge underground cavern shrouded in dense fog, which was undoubtedly poisonous gas, and far more potent than the gas on the surface. The exploratory robots dissolved immediately upon contact with the gas. With such terrifying power, I suspect that this is the source of the changes that have taken place on the entire planet."
