Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Time keeps flowing by, and several years are but a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of things.

In a huge, quiet room on Meteorite Star, Hu Yanbo sat cross-legged, his mind focused.

Even with a system, one still needs to continuously cultivate oneself and must not slack off!

Suddenly, Babata's lively voice broke the silence: "Master! The spaceship is about to arrive at the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters!"

More than a year ago, after finalizing the spot with the Void King and paying the fee, the Meteorite Star set sail at full speed.

"We're almost there!" Hu Yanbo slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his deep eyes, a trace of emotion accompanied by surging anticipation.

As Hu Yanbo's painstakingly crafted vehicle, the Meteorite Star, while not as high-spec as the super-standard models equipped within the Virtual Universe Company, is still sufficient for Hu Yanbo's use at thirty times the speed of light in the dark universe.

Furthermore, the actual cosmic distance between the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company and (Qianwu Universe Country) is not very far—approximately 600 million light-years.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng traveled on the Virtual Universe Company's high-end F-class spaceship, which was only used to reach the destination within three years at 20 times the speed of light.

And the Meteorite Star, which is 30 times faster, is naturally a cut above the rest!

Therefore, in less than two years, they have already traveled 600 million light-years and arrived at their destination!

Inside the magnificent hall of the Meteorite Starship, Hu Yanbo, dressed in black armor, stood tall and calmly gazed at the void in front of him.

"Master, we are about to leave the Dark Universe and enter the Original Universe," Babata's voice rang out.

hum!

The spaceship shuddered slightly for more than ten seconds before the spatial ripples subsided, signaling its return to normal space.

"Activate 100% outdoor scene simulation!" Hu Yanbo ordered.

Although he has lived for 60 million years, set foot in countless star fields, and fought in extraterrestrial battlefields, this is the first time he has personally visited the headquarters of this virtual universe company, which symbolizes the pinnacle of the core power of the human race.

As for the written record in one's mind, it is far less than what one sees with one's own eyes.

The walls of the hall vanished instantly, and an endless starry sky rushed towards us.

Hu Yanbo's gaze was instantly drawn to the colossal object deep within the starry sky.

A vast and boundless supercontinent floats silently above the cosmic curtain.

Beside it, the once enormous stars and planets now appear as tiny as faint specks of light adorning its side, insignificant.

A sense of shock originating from the depths of his soul swept over Hu Yanbo.

Even with his immortal god-like knowledge, having witnessed the vast military bases of the extraterrestrial battlefields composed of shattered continents and war fortresses, he felt an unprecedented shock at this moment.

The continent before us is a complete, magnificent, and vibrant creation, whose scale and energy far surpass the functional war facilities of barracks.

"The headquarters of Virtual Universe Corporation..." Hu Yanbo's deep voice echoed in the hall, carrying genuine approval, "Truly awe-inspiring."

This visually magnificent sight conveys the significance of being one of the "Big Five" far better than any written description.

He gazed at the continent that bore witness to the pinnacle of human civilization, and a thought naturally arose in his mind: "I truly hope that in the future I can also build such a foundation."

......

After entering the original universe, the spaceship did not arrive immediately.

That vast continent suspended in the starry sky is far larger than imagined. It may seem close at hand, but in reality, there is still a vast expanse to traverse.

The Meteorite Starship traveled steadily through the void at a speed approaching that of a beam of light. It took the better part of a day for the vast continent to truly "magnify" itself in view, to the point of blotting out the sky.

Along the way, the bustling scene of outer space was on full display.

Countless spaceships of various shapes shuttled back and forth, like a swarm of bees surrounding a giant nest.

Some flew into the depths of the continent, while others broke away from the continent and disappeared back into the deep starry sky.

A casual glance reveals many meteorite stars that are no less impressive than his.

"Approaching the designated entrance area, receiving a reception signal from the Virtual Universe Company," Babata promptly warned.

Without guidance, even a supreme being of the universe would not dare to advance rashly here!

A clear spatial coordinate and guide path appear on the user interface.

Hu Yanbo piloted the Meteorite Star, following the guidance, towards a huge, dazzling, three-dimensional gateway on the edge of the continent.

The spacecraft successfully entered the designated channel, passed through the energy membrane-like entrance barrier, and finally came to a steady stop in a spacious docking platform hall inside.

The hatch slid open silently.

Hu Yanbo, clad in black armor and exuding an aura that was both restrained and profound, flew out from within.

A world leader-level staff member in a silver-gray uniform was already waiting quietly beside the berth.

Even knowing that the visitor was a powerful immortal god, the silver-gray uniformed staff member still stood upright and remained calm, his background as a virtual universe company giving him an intangible sense of confidence.

"Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Huyanbo." Huyanbo calmly announced his name and then handed over the electronic credentials provided by the True King.

"The purpose of this trip is to enter the primordial universe and gain enlightenment."

The Silver-Robed Realm Master skillfully checked the information on the voucher.

drop!

The silver-robed realm lord's gaze fell on the displayed section for authority level and strength assessment—"Conferred the title of Immortal Marquis, Special Recommendation Channel."

His fingers paused for an extremely subtle moment as he manipulated the screen.

A marquis-level title?!

And it's a "special referral channel"?

This means that Mr. Hu Yanbo in front of us did not obtain his spot through a regular auction, but was personally nominated and guaranteed by a member with extremely high authority!

This was the first time in his long career of being in charge of welcoming and receiving a Marquis-level immortal from the outside world that the Silver-Robed Realm Master had encountered such a situation!

A very faint, pure surprise flashed across his eyes!

Immediately, that look of surprise vanished like ripples on water, replaced by a perfectly professional smile, meticulous and without a trace of anything amiss.

He quickly completed all the verification procedures, confirmed everything was correct, and said clearly with a smile, "Identity verified, welcome, Mr. Hu Yanbo. Please follow me."

Hu Yanbo nodded, and with a slight thought, the massive Meteorite Starship was instantly stored in his World Ring.

He then followed the silver-robed world lord and stepped into a wide passageway where the light was soft and the energy flowed slightly.

A moment later, a huge portal opened at the end of the passage, leading him into an extremely vast space.

This is a huge oval hall, the material of which seems to have some strange translucent properties.

The four walls and dome are almost completely transparent, presenting the magnificent view of the deep universe to everyone inside without reservation, as if bringing the entire starry sky directly into the room, which is so spectacular that it takes your breath away.

The hall was not empty; thousands of auras, some strong and some weak, were scattered throughout.

They were all different in appearance and each had an extraordinary demeanor.

"This is the waiting hall for those who have come to comprehend the initial universe." The silver-robed world lord stopped here.

With his signature service smile still on his face, he explained, "Mr. Huyanbo, you can simply wait here."

"When do we depart?" Hu Yanbo pressed.

"You are very lucky," the silver-robed world lord replied succinctly. "The special spaceship that will take you to the initial universe is almost full. At most, two more comprehenders can join us, and we can depart immediately."
