Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

Upon hearing about this continuous stream of "passive income," Su Yu, who had been "extremely weak" just a moment ago, immediately stopped panting, straightened his back, and neatly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"It is an honor for us to serve the Great Chu! Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Su Yu's mood change faster than flipping through a book, Chu Tianjiao's lips twitched slightly, but a look of extreme satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Faced with this overtly generous offer of benefits, the two immediately hit it off.

A new star exchange competition that shocked the entire Great Chu Star Region has come to an end.

……

Half an hour later.

The Great Chu Imperial Family's Top Secret Treasury.

The heavy gate made of meteorite iron slowly closed behind them, isolating them from all external perception.

Su Yu followed behind Chu Tianjiao, calmly surveying his surroundings.

There were no glittering decorations.

There was only a deep, dark room, as if it were a vacuum in the universe.

Chu Tianjiao stopped and casually waved his hand.

hum-

In the center of the dark room, two dazzling lights suddenly shone.

On the left is a palm-sized storage ring, its entire surface radiating a rich aura of the primordial starry sky.

On the right is a three-zhang tall, fully covered humanoid mecha with a deep dark gold color!

"You deserve it."

Chu Tianjiao turned around, completely retracting his aura as a peak Domain Lord. At this moment, he resembled a businessman making an investment.

"Inside the storage ring are ten thousand low-grade star stones."

"Three thousand of them are the fixed reward for the first place winner of the Rising Star Competition."

"The other seven thousand is extra compensation and investment from me."

Su Yu took the storage ring and scanned it with his spiritual power.

A barely perceptible glint flashed in his deep eyes.

Ten thousand!

A full ten thousand Star Stones!

It is important to know that in the vast starry sky, Star Stones are the hardest currency among hard currencies.

Many top-tier star mercenaries spend years teetering on the brink of death to complete a single high-risk mission.

The final reward is often only two or three Star Stones!

And now, ten thousand star stones lie quietly in his storage ring.

"I've struck it rich."

Su Yu quickly made a decision in his mind.

His 45,000 drops of flawless primordial blood are about to undergo a qualitative change!

However, he did not show much excitement, but instead turned his gaze to the dark gold mecha on the right.

I only glanced at it.

Su Yu then felt a terrifying aura that seemed to annihilate all things and devour all light and laws rushing towards him.

Black Hole-Level War God Weapon – "Annihilation"!

"This mecha..."

Su Yu spoke softly, his tone carrying a rare hint of solemnity.

"Its value is definitely over tens of thousands of star stones, and it should be a unique item with no market value."

He had seen information about the War God Armed Forces in the Seventh Legion's database.

This ultimate killing weapon, which can perfectly resonate with the blood and qi of a martial artist and even carry the will of martial arts, is extremely difficult to forge.

The occasional appearance of a level-one War God weapon on the market will inevitably lead to a bloody battle between countless forces.

Not to mention, this is a black hole-level black hole!

Chu Tianjiao looked at Su Yu, a frank smile playing on his lips.

"This 'Silent Extinction' is one of the most core assets of the Great Chu royal family."

Chu Tianjiao made no attempt to conceal his feelings, staring directly at Su Yu.

"I won't hide it from you."

"I originally intended to leave this mecha to Wudao."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow slightly but remained silent.

Stay tuned for the next installment.

Chu Tianjiao walked slowly through the dark room with his hands behind his back.

"The reason I am biased is that I even went so far as to bestow the Edict of the Unprincipled Origin during the finals."

"It's not because I can't afford to lose."

"It's because this 'Annihilation' weapon is more than just a weapon."

Chu Tianjiao abruptly stopped, his eyes sharpening.

"It is also the only key to unlocking the 'Primordial Divine Martial Ruins'!"

Primordial Divine Martial Ruins?

Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly; he had never heard of this name before.

"That is the core area of ​​the World Lord's Divine Palace."

Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath, his tone filled with deep awe and longing.

"Su Yu, are you aware that when a martial artist breaks through to the Black Hole level, the black hole they condense is divided into different grades?"

Su Yu nodded.

He had looked into it.

"Collapse black hole, abyssal black hole, singularity black hole."

Chu Tianjiao gave him an appreciative look.

"That's right."

"But do you know why countless geniuses from the cosmos would go to such lengths, even exhausting their resources, to pursue that legendary 'singularity black hole'?"

Before Su Yu could answer, Chu Tianjiao's voice suddenly rose, echoing in the dark room.

"because."

"Singularity black holes are the absolute foundation for achieving the title of 'Lord of Chaos'!"

"Having achieved the status of a Chaos Domain Lord, reaching the supreme realm of 'World Lord' in the future is practically a certainty!"

Chu Tianjiao pointed to his chest, a deep regret flashing in his eyes.

"I have cultivated diligently for hundreds of thousands of years, condensing nine billion units of primordial blood, and now my power shakes this star field."

"To outsiders, I am a high and mighty Domain Lord at the peak."

"But I know the truth myself."

"What I condensed back then was merely a black hole in the Star Abyss."

"Therefore, my current cultivation level is firmly stuck at the peak of 'Star River Domain Lord,' unable to advance any further!"

"The threshold of becoming a Realm Lord is something I can only dream of, not even reach!"

Chu Tianjiao's confession gave Su Yu a slight jolt.

"so."

Su Yu looked at Chu Tianjiao and pointed out the crux of the matter.

"Within the Primordial Divine Martial Ruins, there is an opportunity that allows one to condense a singularity black hole with 100% certainty."

"His Majesty originally wanted to let the Ninth Prince go in, to fight for a future for the Great Chu royal family."

Chu Tianjiao laughed loudly.

"Yes."

Chu Tianjiao stepped forward and patted Su Yu on the shoulder heavily.

"But now, you've won."

"You have demonstrated a talent even more extraordinary than Wudao's, and a more perfect foundation."

"So, this key is yours!"

Su Yu looked at the "Annihilation" weapon in front of him, but did not immediately reach out to take it.

He knew very well that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"Your Majesty is so open and honest that you even reveal such a top secret."

"I suppose it's necessary for His Majesty to do something for me after entering the Realm Lord's Palace?"

Chu Tianjiao nodded, his smile fading, and his expression became unusually serious.

"I need you to help me seize a divine artifact!"

"A supreme artifact capable of greatly enhancing the national fortune of the Great Chu Star Region—the Azure Spirit State Seal!"

A burning ambition ignited in Chu Tianjiao's eyes.

"My cultivation level is stuck."

"But if I could obtain this divine seal, I could forcibly devour the national fortunes of several surrounding star regions, using the combined fortunes of the entire nation to forcefully break through the shackles of the Star River Domain Lord!"

"This is my only chance!"

Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Who is the opponent?"

"Peerless geniuses from several surrounding star systems."

"But you don't need to worry too much."

Chu Tianjiao explained.

"The Palace of the Realm Lord has a bone age restriction; those over ten thousand years old are not allowed to enter."

"Therefore, your opponents are all young people under 10,000 years old."

"His strength is at most slightly stronger than Wudao's."

"Your 45,000 drops of flawless source blood essence, plus this 'Annihilation' weapon."

"We can absolutely crush them!"

Su Yu remained silent for a moment.
