Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

Over the next three days, Yan Ning truly experienced what it meant to spend money like water.

It's a completely different experience from Azure!

Moka Li's efficiency was unexpectedly high.

On the first day, he took Yan Ning to the planetary lord registration office.

This time, there was a different person behind the counter.

A six-armed crustacean race, with a golden badge pinned to its chest, was clearly the head of the registry.

"Mr. Yan Ning, Hengxing level, requests to purchase inhabited planet BX-7783." Moka Li handed over a stack of documents with a broad smile.

The supervisor took the document, made a few gestures on the screen, and frowned slightly: "The system shows that your competence certification is..."

Upgrade in progress.

"Mr. Yan Ning has just returned from his training in the depths of the universe. His strength has already surpassed the Hengxing level. It's just that his certification hasn't been updated yet. Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

He calmly pushed a black card over.

The supervisor lightly pressed his finger on the card, and the card disappeared silently.

"Um."

"Document review approved. Purchase eligibility level confirmed. Please pay the purchase price and registration fee."

Yan Ning stepped forward and handed over the ID card.

A line of numbers appeared on the screen:

1,020,000,000,000 Blacktan coins.

A little over one trillion.

The supervisor's fingers paused for a moment.

He looked up and glanced at Yan Ning.

Or is it funds directly transferred from the two major banks in the universe? Judging by his age, he's the young master of some powerful human family.

They actually chose to pay a premium to buy an ordinary life-bearing planet? It doesn't even have any rare resources.

But the supervisor only dared to think that way in his heart.

"The payment has been received."

The supervisor's voice became more respectful, "Planet ownership has been registered in your name. Planet BX-7783, officially renamed—"

"Azure".

The supervisor pressed the confirmation button, and a gold-embossed certificate of planet ownership slid out of the machine. He then bent down with both hands.

"Azure Star".

"Lord: Yan Ning. Congratulations, Lord."

......

The next day, at the slave market.

The largest slave trading center on Blacktan, covering an area of ​​over 100,000 square kilometers.

The moment Yan Ning stepped through the gate, a stench of blood and fear assaulted his senses.

He felt as if he were seeing hell.

The display cabins were lined up in rows, and various colored light patterns occasionally flashed on the transparent energy walls.

Each cabin contains a living, intelligent life form.

But here, everything is just merchandise for anyone to choose from.

A young humanoid creature huddled in a corner, covered in wounds, with vacant eyes and an electronic badge hanging around its neck.

【Castel race, male, age twelve, physical apprentice level seven, skilled in fine manipulation.】

Purpose: servants, laborers.

Price: 12 Blacktank Credits.

......

next to.

An elderly woman with gray hair and wrinkled skin was locked to a chair.

[Ophie, female, 300 years old, planetary-level first-tier mentalist.]

Uses: Mental labor, low-level combat.

Price: 800 million Blacktan coins.

Note: Stubborn personality, requires strong subjugation.

......

Further on, the display cases contained slaves of various races:

Winged people with feathers, reptiles covered in scales, aquatic beings with humanoid forms but blue skin, and even a few individuals who were clearly of human blood.

After the implantation of the chip, most of them are in a daze and lack vitality.

"Mr. Yan, this way please." Moka Li said in a low voice when he saw Yan Ning slow down.

"There's nothing to see in the lower-class slave quarters; the real gems are in the VIP lounges inside."

Yan Ning nodded and continued walking forward.

But the chill in his heart lingered for a long time.

This is the universe.

The strong are respected, and the weak are enslaved.

Azure must never become like this!

The VIP lounge is completely different from the outside environment.

The lighting was soft, the floor was covered with some kind of soft biological carpet, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

The exhibition chambers were fewer and more elaborate, and the slaves inside were of significantly higher quality.

The slave trader approached, rubbing his hands together:

"Distinguished guest! Welcome, welcome! You were introduced by Moka Li, you must be a big customer!"

Yan Ning skipped the pleasantries and went straight to his requirements: "Peak ninth-tier Hengxing level, mentalist, human race, no more than two hundred years old... Let's start with five to test the waters."

The slave trader's smile froze for a moment, then returned to its original state and became even brighter.

This is truly a case of running into a rich young master!

The higher the price, the higher the profit margin.

He needs five level-nine spiritualists of the Eternal Star level. Even if he offers them at a price below market value, he can still make a fortune!

But for such a young master, sincerity must be shown!

He doesn't want to make any money; he'll have to pay out of his own pocket. He doesn't want to be a slave trader on Black Tank Star for the rest of his life!

"Slaves of this caliber are not cheap."

As he spoke, he led Yan Ning through several security doors. "A peak ninth-level spiritualist of the Hengxing star level is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. We happen to have a new batch of them here, originally priced at 25 billion each."

If they buy all five together, I can offer 20 billion each.

He pressed a button, and five huge display cabins slid out from the wall.

Three men and two women, all in human form.

They were dressed in identical gray uniforms, expressionless, with vacant eyes.

"Each one has undergone a complete soul enslavement process and is absolutely loyal," the slave trader assured, patting his chest.

"The core of their souls is imprinted with a mark of enslavement. With just a thought from their master, they will suffer a fate worse than death. Of course, there will be no problem with normal use."

Yan Ning walked to a display case and looked at the man inside.

The man looked to be around thirty years old, though he was probably several hundred years old in reality.

He had a resolute face and a tall stature.

Yan Ning could sense that his spiritual power was as vast as the sea, a genuine peak ninth-level star.

"What was his identity before?" Yan Ning asked.

The slave trader flipped through the files: "He was originally the captain of the guards of a small force. After the force was destroyed, he was captured and passed through several hands before finally coming to me. His name... is no longer important."

He now only has one identity...

Your property.

Yan Ning nodded.

"One hundred billion, five of them, I'll take them." He didn't haggle.

The slave trader's smile froze.

One hundred billion.

And they won't even haggle!

He had been in the slave trade for hundreds of years and had seen wealthy customers, but he had never seen anyone this wealthy.

"Deal...deal." The slave trader's voice trembled slightly. "Will it be a bank transfer or...?"

"Transfer money."

Yan Ning handed over his ID card.

The slave trader's hands trembled when the message "transfer successful" popped up on the screen.

One hundred billion Black Tank Coins is enough for his revenue for more than half a year!

"My lord."

The slave trader flattered even more, saying, "These five are now your private property, and I will hand over their control keys right now."

The core of the soul enslavement mark is here—

He handed over a metal ball the size of a fist.

"After you pledge your allegiance to the Lord with your blood, you will have complete control over their lives and deaths."

Yan Ning took the metal ball and put it into his spatial ring.

"Oh, right."

Do you have any low-ranking slaves here? A lot of them.

The slave trader's eyes lit up:

"A lot?"

"How much? What level?"

"Below the planetary level, mainly apprentice level, quantity... let's start with 10,000."
