Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Black Dragon Star, the capital star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, under the cover of night, Gao Sheng's spaceship flew directly into the Wei Di family's manor.

The manor's star-level guards respectfully welcomed the arrival of the two elders.

"Go down and do your own thing," Gao Sheng waved his hand.

"Yes!" The captain of the guard led his men to retreat.

A group of guards withdrew, still whispering among themselves.

"My God, that's Southern Silk Road..."

"I saw her from afar at my manor on Canglan Star three years ago..."

"Silence!"

At the manor, Gao Sheng and Nan Si met with the clan chief, Pero.

"Let's rest for the night and go to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance base early tomorrow morning," Pero said.

"Yes."

"Yes, clan chief."

Pero smiled: "Promotion, after you finish the formalities, I'll transfer another credit to you."

"Clan leader?" Gao Sheng asked in surprise.

"No need to refuse," Pero said. "It's not my achievement. The Ancestor had arranged that if you entered the Qianwu Secret Realm, you would receive some initial funds. Now that you've joined the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, it's more appropriate for me to transfer the credit directly. As for Nan Si, you've become a member of the Ice Sea Divine Kingdom, so that's all."

Nan Si smiled and nodded.

"Even a tiny bit of credit from between your teacher's fingers is worth more than all of mine," Perrault laughed.

Nansi became Heatherine's disciple and automatically became a member of the Ice Sea God Kingdom. She was no longer a member of the Wei Di family and naturally could no longer receive credit from the Wei Di family.

Of course, Pero would only be happy. Based on the relationship between Nansi and Gaosheng, it was as if the Weidi family and the Ice Sea Kingdom had become allies.

The next day, the two left the manor, passed through the bustling capital of Yandu, and headed directly to the Black Dragon Mountain branch of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

"That's... Southern Silk Road?"

Many people on the street recognized him, and some tried to chase after him, but his cosmic speed was too fast to catch up.

Within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, almost every administrative planet has a base of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, but the Imperial Capital Star is the largest and also the location of the Black Dragon Mountain branch.

The Imperial Capital Star was originally the largest administrative and commercial planet of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

After flying over a thousand kilometers, the headquarters of the Space Mercenary Alliance came into view.

The entire alliance headquarters is like a city.

Many adventurers, apprentice mercenaries, and full-fledged mercenaries came and went, with tens of thousands of people just in the main entrance plaza.

As soon as Gao Sheng and Nan Si entered the square, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"That's... Nansi!"

"Southern Silk Road is here!"

Whoosh! The word spread like wildfire, and tens of thousands of people flocked over.

"Southern Silk Road!"

"Nan Si, how did you become a cosmic-level being?"

The entire square erupted in commotion...

"Make way, make way!" Gao Sheng's forehead was covered in sweat. Oh no, he forgot to have Nan Si disguise herself and cover her face. He really underestimated the influence of the Genius Battle.

"Quiet!" A sudden shout rang out across the entire square.

Bahama was seen hovering in mid-air, watching the square below.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

"Disperse, everyone! You two, come with me."

Gao Sheng and Nan Si quickly followed Bahaman into the main hall.

"How could you two be so careless, especially Nan Si? I'm afraid 99% of the citizens in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield recognize you." Bahama led the two of them along the corridor.

Soon they arrived at a large gate.

"This is the testing room, Gao Sheng, you go first."

The testing room is small, with only one large instrument in the center.

As soon as Gao Sheng entered, the door closed automatically. Then Gao Sheng walked to the center of the instrument, inside a circle, and reached out to touch a tablet in front of him.

"Beep beep beep beep..." The instrument flashed, with several red, green, and white rings surrounding Gao Sheng as it scanned up and down.

The test results appeared on the screen very quickly.

Name: Gao Sheng

Rank: Space Trainee Mercenary

Consciousness: Humanity

Bloodline: Realm Lord level, special human (genes x4)

Force: 15% of the first-order cosmic level (x4)

Mental Power: Cosmic Level 2 0% (x4)

This result was within Gao Sheng's expectations.

The five major powers will definitely conduct inspections when recruiting internal members and core members. When that genius Zhan absorbed a thousand members, a super being naturally conducted an inspection.

Even the addition of internal members requires instrument testing.

It's normal to have a quadruple gene detected; it's not a bad thing. What kind of encounters haven't you had in the universe? This will only make Gao Sheng more valued.

As for the system in the Gaosheng belt, Gaosheng had of course asked Lao Tie. According to Lao Tie, not only could no instrument detect its existence, but no one in the entire universe could either, and even the origin of the universe would not know about it!

In the virtual universe, there is a special plane where there is an enormous mountain in the boundless ocean, with majestic temples stretching from the top to the bottom.

At this moment, on the throne in a huge temple, sat a white-haired man with vertical eyes, whose eyes seemed to contain stars that were constantly being created and destroyed.

An email appears automatically.

"Internal member health test results? The Qianwu Universe Kingdom?"

"Interesting. I wonder what kind of special encounter this is." With a thought, the white-haired man sent an email and then stopped paying attention.

In fact, when the intelligent system produces some unusual detection results, it has its own contingency plan and will report directly to higher management.

But what kind of encounters are there in the universe? Merely being an internal member of a cosmic entity is not worth paying attention to at all.

……

Gao Sheng came out, Nan Si went in, and soon Nan Si also came out.

The two then followed Bahman to his office to sign the contract, leaving their spiritual imprint.

This contract is actually a tripartite contract, with Virtual Universe Company also involved. Once the contract is signed, Gao Sheng and Nan Si lose their status as external members of Virtual Universe Company.

Of the five major forces, apart from the cosmic mercenaries and apprentice mercenaries who are somewhat special, the others, such as external members, internal members, and core members, are mutually exclusive.

However, an external member of one faction can become an internal member of another faction, and an internal member of one faction can become a core member of another faction without being prevented.

Therefore, members of the other four major powers' star-level internal organizations can also participate in the Genius Battle. If they can enter the top 1000 in the entire universe, they will become core members of the Virtual Universe Company.

However, if it's just the top 1000 in the Universe Kingdom, the Qianwu Secret Realm won't invite them.

"Gao Sheng, Nan Si, from now on, you are internal members of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Welcome," Bahama said with a smile. "Your virtual universe access has been upgraded. You will know everything related to this after logging into the Qianwu branch of the virtual universe."

"However, I remind you that your primary goal is to become a Star-level mercenary in the universe. Alright, go now and log in to the Qianwu branch as soon as possible."

Shortly after Gao Sheng and Nan Si left, Bahama burst into uncontrollable laughter in his office.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"A great achievement! A great achievement indeed! I never expected such a promotion... It's truly unexpected... What kind of destiny does he have? Even the royal bloodline among the demon race couldn't compare..."

"However, this must not be revealed. This gag order was actually issued by the Venerable One."
