Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Dixie and Mia entered the courtyard and stood respectfully bowing.

Outside, only Nan Si waited anxiously.

"Dasi, Mia, well done!" Pero said.

Upon hearing this, the two men first glanced at Gao Sheng with fear, then lowered their heads and replied, "We dare not accept the chief's praise; we are merely following our master's orders."

Gao Sheng began, "Dasi, Mia, when I bought you, I said I would set you free sooner or later. Logically, you've done a great service this time, and I should release you, but right now, I can't do that. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

Dixie and Mia exchanged a glance and respectfully replied in unison, their voices tinged with bitterness. They knew in their hearts that their master harbored too many secrets; how could he possibly let them leave so easily?

Gao Sheng took out two chips, which were the control chips for Dixie and Mia, and inserted them into the optical computer in his arm to operate them.

A moment later, a notification sounded from the quantum computer, and a look of surprise flashed in Dixie and Mia's eyes.

"Alright, the orders have been changed. From now on, you only have one thing to obey: you must not reveal any information about me or anything about the Realm Within a Realm. There are no other orders, and you no longer need to obey my orders. You can do whatever you want."

Gao Sheng took out the chip, applied a little force to his hand, and with two soft snapping sounds, the powder fell down.

"Thank you, Master!" Dixie and Mia trembled with excitement and immediately knelt down, their voices choked with emotion.

"Get up! I am no longer your master." Gao Sheng quickly pulled the two up.

Perrault watched this scene with a smile.

Gao Sheng took out two spatial rings and gave one to each of Disimia: "This is the reward I promised you. Take them."

Dipsy and Mia quickly took the rings, and the moment their telekinetic powers entered the rings, both of them showed joy.

The space rings are filled with cosmic crystals! Dixi's ring contains a full 1.8 million cubic meters, and Mia's contains 180,000 cubic meters!

Just this cosmic crystal alone makes Dishi, a newly broken-through cosmic-level cultivator, far wealthier than most ninth-tier cosmic-level cultivators.

Gao Sheng smiled and waved his hand, "This is just the reward for your previous excavation of the cosmic crystals. After the treasure is unearthed, the clan leader will calculate your contributions accordingly."

And another thing? The two were so happy they were completely stunned.

Of course, the Wei Di family is known for its fairness.

In fact, this applies to all forces in the universe; otherwise, they could not last long.

At this moment, Pero said, "Dishie, Mia, you two are originally external members of the Weidi family, and also part of the army of the Realm Within a Realm family. You know the family's gains, how could there be no reward?"

"Especially Dishi, he made a great contribution! You're already at the cosmic level, would you be interested in joining the Wedi family and becoming an internal member? If you're willing, you can become a guest elder of my family."

"I'm willing!" Dixie agreed without even thinking.

Although he was already at the cosmic level and had essentially gained freedom, he was all alone and had no power to rely on. Whether out of gratitude for Gao Sheng or for his own development, joining the Wei Di family was the best choice.

As for Mia, she is of course still an external member, but external members are not all the same. Some are just in a cooperative relationship, while others are closely attached to the Weidi family. In the future, Mia will probably attach herself to Dishi.

"Okay!" Pero said, then said to Mia, "Mia, you go out first and rest in the manor."

Mia came out and saw Nancy sitting there looking nervous. She went over to comfort her, "Nancy, don't be afraid. The chieftain is very kind and gentle."

In the courtyard, Pero pressed a button on his handheld computer, and a projection screen appeared, with lifelike phantom images of various treasures rotating around.

As for the treasure, Gao Sheng naturally handed it over to Pero as soon as he arrived.

Even though Pero had already sensed the treasure, his eyes still burned with desire.

Dishi reported: "Chieftain, the clan's army of 10,000 men, based on the time spent entering and leaving the Thunder World, spent 41 days digging and fighting, and 35 days resting and recuperating. The army suffered 4562 casualties, excavated and seized 8833566 Thunderstones, exchanged for 23 treasures, and captured 2 more treasures... The remaining Thunderstones were exchanged for a total of..."

A series of numbers were announced.

"Too many! Too many!" Pero exclaimed.

With 25 treasures, each one stronger than Luo Feng's, and some by a considerable margin! Adding the one Luo Feng's team asked him to handle, Pero now possesses 26 treasures!

It should be noted that the entire Realm of Dawn only has 312 treasures in total. If we don't count the non-physical items, such as the triple password, an account, and six sets of secret techniques, there are only 302 items. With a total army of 196 million, if we calculate based on 10,000 people per team, each team would only have an average of one and a half items!

In reality, thanks to the presence of Gao Sheng and Luo Feng's teams, and the spoils of the Wei Di family's army, those 10,000-strong teams were lucky to get an average of one item. Because of the subsequent fighting and looting, many teams failed to deliver the Thunderstones to the castle, getting nothing at all!

"Dishie, you did a great job. Go and rest. The follow-up statistics will be done soon. The family will definitely not treat you and the soldiers unfairly."

"Yes, clan chief."

After Dixie left, Perot spoke up: "Promotion..."

Gao Sheng quickly said, "Clan leader, there's another one outside. Let her in."

Pero looked at Gao Sheng with a strange expression.

"She knows everything, even more than Disimia," Gao Sheng laughed. Of course, even the treasures were exchanged by Nan Si.

Knowing everything? Wasn't Nan Si a level-two elite recruited and trained by Baihulou? Because Gao Sheng took a liking to her at the Allied Forces' base, Gao Sheng spent a lot of money to help her transfer to the Weidi family?

Pero looked at Gao Sheng with a smile. It seemed that the relationship between Nan Si and Gao Sheng was not so simple. They probably did not meet in the Realm Within a Realm.

Practitioners are all solitary, and the path of cultivation is long and lonely. Even with family members by their side, they may not be able to exchange ideas on cultivation. How rare it is to have a companion who understands and accompanies you on this long journey of cultivation.

As Pero thought this to himself, his gaze toward Gao Sheng became more admiring and even envious.

Unfortunately, Perot was wrong. Apart from Dixie and Mia, no one knew that Nancy was Gao Sheng's slave, and neither did Perot.

In the quiet courtyard, Nan Si obediently sat down on the stone chair next to Gao Sheng, her posture upright, not daring to be the slightest bit impolite.

"Your name is Nansi?"

"Yes."

"Well, there's a reason why Gao Sheng recommended you to become a member of my family. Being rated as a second-level elite by Baihulou shows your talent. Keep up the good work. In terms of cultivation resources, our family is much better than those three major organizations."

"Yes, clan chief."

Perot smiled and said, "I'll be giving Gao Sheng some guidance these next few days. You should come too."

"Yes," Nan Si replied happily.

Pero wasn't bragging. In terms of power, the Wei Di family was certainly far inferior to the Hundred Tigers Tower. But the Hundred Tigers Tower recruited and trained a large number of star-level elites, often numbering in the tens of thousands. If this continued for a long time, how much resource could be allocated to each elite?

The Wei Di family's only training camp is very small in scale, and it is rare to recruit members from the Hengxing level. However, the resources allocated to each person are much greater.

Of course, Nansi is not an elite seed in the normal sense, she will not go to the training camp, and the Weidi family does not need to worry about her resources.
