Swallowing the Stars: I, the New Master of Babata

Although it's called a private estate, there are quite a few people there.

From butlers to maids, everything was provided.

Chef, gardener.

Doctor, guard.

None of the standard features of these large estates were missing.

Otherwise, such a large estate would be like a desolate wilderness.

"Qing, the seven permanent members of the Planetary Security Council have been confirmed. Each of the five major powers will send one representative to serve as a permanent member. On the HR Alliance side, the Xu family and the Bolenas family will serve as permanent members."

"In addition, the framework of the Space Force, the seven fleets, and the seven captains have been selected. However, the final selection still needs the approval of you, the chairman, and the commander-in-chief of the Space Force before the personnel appointments can truly take effect."

As soon as Dong Qing stepped into his private estate, before he even had a sip of water, the Moon Witch Jiang Fang and the Witch Hunter Yao Rao dumped a pile of work reports on Dong Qing, the chairman of the Planetary Security Defense Council and the commander-in-chief of the Space Force.

In the future, such special work reports will definitely be handled by the twelve noble ladies' secretaries, but for now, Moon Witch Jiang Fang and Witch Hunter Yao Rao are still doing it. Even the meetings that Dong Qing is too lazy to attend are attended by Moon Witch Jiang Fang and Witch Hunter Yao Rao on his behalf.

"The Xu family?"

Dong Qing wasn't curious why the Bolenas family was qualified to be among the seven permanent members of the board, because of his investment in Vinina Bolenas.

With the support of Isadora, the HR Alliance Chairperson, it's no surprise that the Bolenas family has a chance to be shortlisted for the seven permanent council members.

The Xu family, however, is unassuming on the surface.

The true local tyrant of Jiangnan Base City.

The energy is surprisingly large.

It became one of the seven permanent members of the Security Council.

However, the Wang family in Kyoto Base City, where Miss Wang is located, is absolutely no less powerful or wealthy than the Xu family in Jiangnan Base City.

Could it be that my attitude towards Xu Xin during my inspection of the Twelve Citadels today was over-interpreted by outsiders?

"Yes, the Xu family. Originally, the Wang family was more advantageous, but Xu Yunguo, the head of the Xu family, successfully won the position of permanent director by relying on the extra bargaining chip that his granddaughter Xu Xin was valued by the Azure Emperor."

The enchanting witch didn't know why Dong Qing valued Xu Xin, a delicate young girl, but when Dong Qing inspected the Twelve Guard Cities of the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan Base, everyone could see Xu Xin beside him.

"I value Xu Xin?"

Dong Qing truly didn't know why he had taken a liking to Xu Xin.

He simply admired her composure in the face of a King-level monster.

However, later...

Xu Xin is like a fairy who has turned into a hundred thousand whys, following him around and asking all sorts of questions. He answers every question, which can easily lead to misunderstandings from the outside world.

But it wasn't that Dong Qing was biased towards Xu Xin. The two were talking about work and serious matters, and Dong Qing couldn't very well refuse a young man who was so passionate about his career.

Moreover, Xu Xin was not an isolated case; all twelve noble ladies took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Xu Xin, however, spoke more meaningfully, and Dong Qing talked to her a few more times.

"Whatever. Anyway, the two permanent council seats of the HR Alliance are not like those of the five major countries, which are basically fixed and will not change once determined. Instead, they are permanent council seats that are rotated. If the Xu family does not perform well, other people from the twelve families of the HR Alliance will naturally take their place."

Dong Qing knew that he had a lot of influence now, but he didn't expect it to be this big. He only said a few words, and people were already speculating about his thoughts, pushing the Xu family, who were originally no match for the Wang family, to a permanent council seat. No wonder the competition in the ancient imperial harem was so fierce, even ruthless.

Although the twelve noble ladies were not in Dongqing's harem.

However, he has a good chance of becoming a close confidant of Dong Qing.

"Qing, let's put aside the matter of the Planetary Security Defense Council for now. Now that you have defeated Thor and successfully become the second strongest in the world, many people speculate that you may challenge Hong, the strongest in the world, next."

Moon Witch Jiang Fang is the global inspector of the Thunder Martial Arts School. When she learned that Thunder God had been defeated by Dong Qing, her first reaction was not to question or blindly follow, but to verify the truth of the matter and confirm Dong Qing's safety.

She's not the kind of woman who demands her man be the best in the world; she's content with everything she has now.

When Dong Qing won her over, she was just a high-level war god teacher in the global elite training camp, while he was just a student.

I won't go into how I won it.

But she was not vain.

"Maybe, but I'm not sure, because some things do need a clear outcome."

"However, right now, the most important thing is to deal with the monster gathering place in Ailao Mountain."

Before Dong Qing broke through to the ninth level of the planetary stage, the reason why he couldn't leave the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan base city for a long time was not only because he was too lazy to travel around, but also because of the Ailao Mountain, the number one forbidden area in China.

Long before the Great Nirvana, before the global evolution of species, the Ailao Mountains in Yunnan, China, were known as the Abyss of Mist and the Valley of Insects. Countless explorers died here every year, and there are many terrifying legends associated with it.

Most people are probably familiar with the mysterious and eerie nature of Shennongjia.

But the eeriness of Ailao Mountain is in no way inferior to that of Shennongjia.

However, this does not mean that Shenlong lost its status after the Great Nirvana.

Today, Shennongjia, located in China, is one of the world's three most dangerous places.

However, the monsters and threats within Shennongjia do not occasionally venture out to threaten the survival of nearby base cities.

The ten beast kings born from the Ailao Mountains frequently unleash beast tides, threatening the nearby Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan base cities.

"There are ten beast kings in Ailao Mountain. They are indeed no match for you, the third strongest in the world... the second strongest in the world. However, if they all come out in full force, the base city in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan may not be breached, but the final casualty ratio may not be much different from the battle of Ailao Mountain ten years ago."

The enchanting witch was not worried about Dong Qing being surrounded and killed by the ten beast kings of Ailao Mountain, because once Dong Qing reached his level, unless they were the ten beast emperors, even ten king-level monsters could not kill him. But if the ten beast kings of Ailao Mountain could not kill Dong Qing, could they not kill others?

Dongqing is like a nuclear bomb.

The most important thing is deterrence.

Dongqing will not be able to push the ten beast kings of Ailao Mountain to the brink of despair.

Even the ten great beast kings of Ailao Mountain dared not truly unleash their full power.

"That was before. You should have witnessed Mu Yajing's ability to assist in cultivation. I am no longer the same as before."

"Even if the ten beast kings of Ailao Mountain really come out in full force, I have the ability to suppress them and will not give them a chance to escape from Ailao Mountain."

Over the years, Dongqing has been thoroughly annoyed by the harassment from these beast kings of Ailao Mountain. Especially last month, these beast kings somehow managed to lure three fools who were oblivious to their own mortality to besiege the base city of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.

Although Dongqing killed two king-level monsters on the spot, and managed to escape back to Ailao Mountain with the help of the speed of a flying monster, Dongqing knew even without using his brain that the idiot had been eaten.

"The Wood Crystal is indeed a true natural treasure. You gave each of us ten Wood Crystals, and we still haven't finished absorbing them all."

"Once we absorb all ten Wood Crystals, our strength will at least double, and it's not impossible for it to triple or quadruple."

Speaking of Muya Jing.

Even the enchanting witch, who was once the world's strongest bodyguard, had never heard of such a rare and precious natural treasure that was so excellent for aiding cultivation.

If the problem of the excessively volatile life energy of the Wood Crystal can be resolved, mass cultivation of planetary-level beings can be achieved...
