Swallowing the Stars: Starting from Late Bloomers

"drop!"

"Connection established, communication request in progress..."

It took more than half a minute before the communication was successfully established.

On the virtual screen in front of Huang Ziwei, a burly man wearing khaki armor and with pointed ears quickly appeared. He was none other than Kano, the teacher of Lu Qingshan and Huang Ziwei, a cosmic-level powerhouse.

"teacher!"

Upon seeing Kano, Lu Qingshan and Huang Ziwei both bowed slightly in greeting.

"Um!"

Kano nodded slightly, then looked directly at Huang Ziwei and said, "Ziwei, Qingshan, you two brothers should immediately set off for the capital star of my Zichuan Empire. I will join you there shortly!"

"teacher!"

After hearing Kano's words, Huang Ziwei quickly asked, "What happened?"

"A major event has indeed occurred in the universe recently; I just heard about it!"

Kano quickly explained, "Recently, a superpower called 'Virtual Universe Corporation' has emerged in the universe, and they are building company bases on many important inhabited planets within my Golden Lion Empire!"

"A virtual universe company?"

After hearing Kano's words, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

Having read the original work, he naturally understood what the Virtual Universe Company represented. It was the key to enabling the human race to integrate all resources within its territory, a super secret technique that allowed countless humans to communicate freely regardless of location...

Of course, the emergence of the Virtual Universe Company also signifies that the original ancestor has been suppressed by the primordial will of the universe.

If the progenitor is suppressed, the status of the human race in this vast universe will certainly be lowered, if not drastically.

Even the territories currently occupied by human races may have to be ceded.

"I wonder if the Tianxing Universe Kingdom borders any of those alien territories!"

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think to himself, "If the entire Tianxing Universe Kingdom is given up by the human race's higher-ups, then the humans living here will have to migrate to other universe kingdoms. Who knows how troublesome that will be!"

Just as various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, Kano on the virtual screen spoke again.

"I've even heard that outside the Golden Lion Empire, and even on many important inhabited planets within the entire Tianxing Universe Kingdom, the headquarters of that Virtual Universe Company are being built!"

Kano said with utmost seriousness, "If that's really the case, then this Virtual Universe Company will definitely become a behemoth no less powerful than the world's largest bank!"

"However, that number one bank in the universe is specifically for the strong. Even if all my assets were combined, I still wouldn't meet the threshold for opening an account there!"

"But this virtual universe company is different!"

"I've heard that this Virtual Universe Company possesses an unprecedented communication technology. If we can successfully open an account with them, we'll be able to communicate even if we're in different star systems!"

"Furthermore, opening an account with the Virtual Universe Company and communicating with others in that virtual universe is much more convenient than the Golden Lion Empire's communication network. The Virtual Universe Company's fees are also much lower, almost the same as the Purple River Empire's communication network!"

"I have a feeling that under the pressure from this virtual universe company, both the Golden Lion Empire's communication network and the Purple River Empire's communication network will eventually collapse!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly.

It's not just the communication networks of the Golden Lion Empire and the Purple River Empire.

With the existence of this virtual universe, the communication networks of the entire human race's territory, and even those in extraterrestrial battlefields, cosmic secret realms, and other regions, can be shut down and disappear.

This will mean a significant loss of revenue for those who build communication network systems, but it is a tremendous boon for the entire human race!

At that moment, Kano spoke again, saying, "I have received news that the staff of Virtual Universe Company are about to arrive at the capital star of my Zichuan Empire. Their purpose is to select some important inhabited planets within the territory of my Zichuan Empire and then establish the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company on these planets!"

"The reason I sent you to the Imperial Capital Star this time is to help my Kano family secure a spot on one of those planets!"

"If a virtual universe company could be based on Muge Star, many people within the Zichuan Empire would flock to Muge Star to open virtual universe accounts, making Muge Star even more prosperous!"

"I am not currently within the Zi Chuan Empire, and it will take me nearly two months to reach the Imperial Capital. Therefore, I need you two brothers to go there now and represent me in communicating with the staff of those virtual universe companies!"

Since Kano couldn't arrive immediately, Huang Ziwei was the only person in the Kano family who could represent him the most.

Although Cano's children were very close to him, they were much weaker in terms of strength.

"Yes, teacher!"

Upon hearing Kano's words, Huang Ziwei immediately declared solemnly, "This disciple will do everything in my power to ensure that the staff of the Virtual Universe Company build a base for the company on my planet, Muge!"

"That's good!"

Kano quickly said, "After you arrive on the Imperial Capital Star, you can pay a visit to the Kombu family!"

"I'll communicate with them beforehand. After all, the Kano family is the fifth-ranked family in my Zichuan Empire. With their help, it will be much easier for us to build the virtual universe company's base on Muge Star!"

"Yes, teacher!" After hearing Kano's instructions, Huang Ziwei quickly nodded again.

"Green Mountain!"

Kano quickly looked in Lu Qingshan's direction again: "Later, you and Ziwei will set off together. We, master and disciple, will meet on the Imperial Capital Star!"

"Yes, teacher!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly in response.

Although he didn't know why Kano wanted him to go to the capital star of the Zichuan Empire, he himself wanted to see the newly established Virtual Universe Company, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

After explaining these things, Cano quickly hung up the call.

Huang Ziwei quickly turned to Lu Qingshan beside him: "Junior brother, the matter our teacher entrusted to us this time is extremely important, so we must set off immediately!"

"However, these kids are currently taking their assessments, so I have a few things to explain to them, which will take about an hour! If you don't have any objections, how about we set off for the Imperial Capital Star in two hours?"

"No problem!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said.

Besides cultivating, he had nothing else to do on this Pastoral Star, so he didn't need to make any preparations to head to the Imperial Capital Star.

Two hours later, Lu Qingshan and Huang Ziwei set off together for the capital star of the Zichuan Empire.

However, in order to reach the capital planet more quickly this time, Lu Qingshan did not travel on his own spaceship, but instead traveled with Huang Ziwei on Huang's C9-class spaceship, which could reach twice the speed of light in the dark universe.

As for Lu Qingshan's spaceship, since it was impossible to carry it with him, it naturally stayed on the Pastoral Star.
