Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

In a private room of a restaurant not far away, Gao Sheng connected to the virtual universe.

In front of Rod's villa in Carlo Community, Heilongshan Island.

Gao Sheng suddenly appeared, with a little beauty with braided hair perched on his shoulder.

As for Lao Tie, Gao Sheng didn't know if he was in the virtual universe. Anyway, even if Gao Sheng wasn't in the virtual universe, his smart computer was still connected, so Lao Tie could probably come and go at any time.

Like a typical intelligent optical computer, it usually only maintains a semi-connection with the virtual universe, such as receiving emails.

But Xiao Ai, who has just become an intelligent life form, has maintained a complete connection these past few days, playing happily in the virtual universe like a curious child.

Of course, this did not affect her being promoted to assistant in the slightest.

Strangely, Xiao Ai seemed unaware of Lao Tie's existence.

Gao Sheng walked into the villa.

There was no one there. Not a single person was there.

"Xiao Ai, send a message to my dad and ask him to come online. It's urgent."

"Okay, sent." The tiny, elfin beauty replied quickly.

Jade Dragon Star, a top-tier life-bearing planet located in the Rota system of the Carlo Empire, is incredibly prosperous and has a population of over 10 billion.

At this moment, in Yunlin Courtyard, the most luxurious club on Jade Dragon Star, with its antique-style buildings and opulent banquet hall, fine wines and delicacies abound, and beautiful women flit about, a large, fat man is enjoying himself immensely, with women on his left and right.

It was Rothschild Wedi, the lord of Jade Dragon Star, whose abbreviation was Rhodes.

"Hmm? A promotion message. Something urgent? This kid should have arrived on Qiulong Star by now. Could it be that he's taken care of things?"

The fat man waved his hand, "You all get out of here."

The banquet hall was quickly emptied, leaving only two high-ranking bodyguards standing on either side.

The fat man connected directly to the virtual universe and suddenly appeared on the lawn in front of the villa.

"Promotion? You should be on Dragon Star by now. What's the matter? Sending an email isn't enough. Why do you need to call your old man?" The fat man walked in with a smile.

"Dad, at Yunlin Academy again? Who are they today?" the chubby boy asked with a sly grin.

The fat man slapped Gao Sheng on the head: "You're not a regular? Spit it out, don't delay your father from continuing to expand the family line."

"What do you mean, a regular customer? I just go there to browse."

"Hey, that's because you're underage!" the fat man sneered.

Gao Sheng whispered in his father's ear, "Dad, I have good news for you. I'm an adult now."

"Bullshit! You're only at the second level of the Planetary Realm... at most the third level, you're still a long way off."

"It's true!" Gao Sheng grabbed his father's large, fat hand. "Moreover, I've also comprehended a domain."

The fat man was taken aback, his facial expression slowly becoming quite interesting. After a long while, he finally said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Domain? You?"

Gao Sheng grabbed his father and pulled him out the door. "Let's go to the killing field."

"That's worth millions!" the fat man exclaimed in surprise.

"A few million is a lot? You miser."

An apprentice-level 4th-tier body in this virtual universe cannot display a domain; only a killing field can.

Rhodes had a constipated look on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he was expectant or incredulous, as Gao Sheng dragged him to the killing arena hall.

Battlegrounds, preparation area.

The father and son found an empty table and sat down on either side.

With a whoosh, a row of light screens appeared, displaying a large list of text.

Gao Sheng quickly identified a piece of information.

"Issue a challenge!"

"Okay," Xiao Ai said softly.

Gao Sheng is a planetary-level being, while Luo De is a constant-level being, so they can't fight each other.

After a while, the challenge was passed.

"Iron Man", a 7th-tier planetary-level martial artist, 1 star VS "Master", a 7th-tier planetary-level mentalist, 0 stars.

Whoosh! Gao Sheng disappeared.

Rhodes was taken aback. Was it really Rank 7?

This little brat was only level 2 a few days ago, what medicine did he take to get him to level 7 so fast? He's an adult now?

Damn, it's not 100 million, that's 350 million Black Dragon Coins a day!

350 million, plus Rhodes himself, a seventh-level star-level warrior, that's 650 million a day, which is 1000 million Black Dragon Coins!

The fat man felt as if a knife was stabbing into his heart.

"Watching these matches costs money, but thankfully, watching planetary-level matches isn't expensive."

Rod muttered to himself as he clicked to spectate.

Amidst the pain, with a whoosh, Rhodes' consciousness arrived in another world.

In the vast expanse of yellow sand, the two stood facing each other, hundreds of meters apart.

"Expert? Zero-star rating? Hey, how dare you give yourself that name?" A tall, burly man in blue armor, wielding a giant axe, sneered.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Boom! Gao Sheng leaped into the air, stepping on the nine-sided shield, with faint red flames flowing around him, as if he were enveloped in a ball of fire.

The burly man was shocked. "This is... a domain?! How is this possible?"

A dark shadow flew out from the nine-sided shield, tracing an eerie curve as it flew towards the blue-armored giant.

"I refuse to believe it, block it!" It was too fast, and seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the strong man could only swing his axe. The huge axe blade was like a shield, blocking his front.

With a loud bang, the burly man staggered backward, blood gushing from the tiger's mouth of both hands.

"This...this is truly a domain, this power is too..."

Whoosh! The triangular flash of light flew back instantly, wrapped around the burly man's neck, and his huge head flew up. Iron Man, dead!

The expert wins!

Record: 1 win, 0 losses.

Because of the promotion, Gao Sheng's battle record has been recalculated.

Rhodes stared at the battle in disbelief, and it took him a while to come to his senses. "Even saving the battle video costs money, seriously."

Rhodes muttered as he left, while Gao Sheng was already sitting leisurely in the rest area of ​​the killing arena.

Rod looked at his son as if he were a precious treasure.

A domain! Even at the planetary level, the son already possesses a domain!

What does this mean?

For the Wei Di family, reaching the Hengxing level is not difficult, but the Xingxing and Hengxing levels are merely citizens in the universe.

Only those who reach the cosmic level can be called strong. Even in the Wei Di family, there are not many, and each one is a big figure in the family.

With his new domain, Gao Sheng found the cosmic level to be no challenge at all.

"Do you know Anson and the others?" Rhodes asked quietly.

"I don't know yet. Dad, let's go back and talk about it." Gao Sheng knew what his father meant; this matter should not be publicized for the time being.

Anson and the other three were not slaves, but rather star-level beings cultivated on the planets within the Weidi family's territory, serving their father and receiving a salary.

The Wei Di family is a business family and rarely uses slaves. Instead, they recruit normal cultivators from their territory.

Slaves are both expensive and lack motivation to work, making them only suitable as bodyguards.

Rhodes has many business rivals, many of whom are also from the Weidi family. If word gets out, who knows what unpredictable things might happen?

As for those who are not from the Wei Di family, it doesn't really matter.

"Go back? You're making 350 million a day here, I want 650 million! Why don't you make the most of your time?" The fat man said, feeling a pang of regret.

"Let's go. We're not going to the killing space, just the final battle space." Gao Sheng pulled his father out the door.

"Oh, that's alright." Rod wiped his sweat.

Back at the villa, Rod hugged his son tightly.

"Son, you're amazing!"

Fortunately, they were all at the apprentice level, otherwise Gao Sheng might have been crushed to pieces.

"Let me think, let me think." Rod paced back and forth in the room, while Gao Sheng sat on the sofa watching.

A moment later, the fat man sat down on the sofa and said, "First, I'll be right back."

Gao Sheng said, "Father, I want to go to the Qianwu Taoist Temple."

"Oh?" The fat man thought for a moment. "Alright, the cultivation conditions on Jade Dragon Star are indeed not suitable for you. Qiu Dragon Star is safe enough. You can stay on Qiu Dragon Star to cultivate for the time being."

Rod continued, "Secondly, I will report to the Gordo clan patriarch immediately, and he will certainly report to the clan chief. I'm sure there will be a plan; I suspect they might send you to Tiger Star."

The ancestor of the Galdo clan refers to Galdo Weidi, who is more than ten generations removed from Gao Sheng. Both Luo De and Gao Sheng belong to the Galdo branch. In the Weidi family, reaching the cosmic level is considered establishing a new lineage. Therefore, Gao Sheng can be called Gao Sheng Weidi, Gao Sheng Galdo, or Gao Sheng Galdo Weidi.

The clan leader, of course, refers to Domain Lord Pero Weidi. He is the sixth clan leader. There were two Realm Lords in the previous few clan leaders, but unfortunately, they both died young.

Rhodes could only contact the clan ancestor, but he had no way to directly contact the clan leader, let alone the ancestor Emperor Wei.

"On Qiulong Star, you should buy a house and settle down first. As for the energy business, forget about it. You don't need to worry about it. I'll see if your sister is willing to go."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Here's 50 billion Black Dragon Coins for you. That should be enough for you to buy a house on Qiulong Star."

"Dad, why are you being so generous today? 50 billion, is that enough?" Gao Sheng asked with a grin.

Although Rhodes is wealthy, most of his money is tied up in business operations. He doesn't have much readily available cash, nor does he need much. 50 billion Black Dragon Coins is probably the majority of the old fat man's cash reserves.

The planet has a lot of income, but it also consumes a lot.

This planet isn't a place where you can just sit around and collect money; you need to send people to manage it and pay their salaries.

The key is cultivation resources! Rhodes' own cultivation resources, and the cultivation resources for his advancement, are the main source of income.

Although it is possible to slowly ascend by absorbing cosmic energy, how many years would that take?

In the universe, whether they are scions of powerful families or ordinary cultivators, everyone is competing for resources. If we really follow the best and fastest method, just going from the first to the ninth level of the planetary realm would require hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins. It all depends on whether you want to be fast and whether you have the ability!

At the Eternal Star level, it's even more terrifying, by a thousand times!

Even the core members of the Wei Di family cannot all cultivate in the fastest and best way; they can only make choices in terms of resources and wealth.

So even after living for over two thousand years, Rhodes is only at the seventh level of the Constant Star Realm. Anyway, he won't be fighting anyone, so there's no need for him to waste money.

Weapons, combat suits, spaceships, servants, and subordinates—all of these cost money.

After reaching the planetary level, Rhodes had 1 million Black Dragon Coins in his bank account for the first time. This was because he had to go out to run errands. Normally, Rhodes was very careful with even his pocket money, but he had already spent several billion Black Dragon Coins on weapons, battle armor, cultivation resources, and space rings.

The old fat man's current net worth, excluding planets, is estimated to be around one trillion Black Dragon Coins, mainly tied up in business operations; he doesn't have much cash on hand.

"How is that not enough? There are definitely enough villas in the city!" the fat man said.

"Your father doesn't have much cash on hand right now, and once the old clan chief gets the news, you'll be rewarded handsomely. Even a single hair from your head will be thicker than my waist." Rod patted his son's shoulder. "Don't mention this to your sister yet; let me report it first. I've already got your mother online."

After a while, another person suddenly appeared in the room.

"Master, son, what brings you here today?"

"Mom, I have some great news to tell you."

"Ahem, Shui Lan'er, you've given birth to a fine son! Promote him, he's got a domain now." The fat man pulled Shui Lan'er along.

"Domain?" Shui Lan'er didn't understand.

The fat man grinned so hard his chubby face was all bunched up. "That means Gao Sheng is a genius, a top genius! Lan'er, you're not only a hero of my family, but also a great hero of my Wei Di family!"

"Ah, genius! My son!" The elfin beauty excitedly broke free from the fat man's arms, hugged Gao Sheng tightly, and rubbed him so hard that he almost passed out.
