Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Lottery of All Things

Inside the spaceship room, Zuo Yan stopped cultivating.

After leaving the system's world space, I returned to my room.

On a whim, he opened the system panel.

After ten years of cultivation, Zuo Yan has made great progress in all aspects.

With the blessing of his own talent, combined with the law runes on the corpse of the Flowing Cloud Golden Dragon, he was able to further enhance his abilities.

Zuo Yan spends half his time contemplating the four fundamental laws of time, space, and so on.

The fundamental laws of space have been comprehended to the seventy-second essence.

The fundamental law of time has been comprehended to have reached its forty-sixth essence.

With the help of comprehending the remains of the Flowing Cloud Golden Dragon and the Dragon Pattern Sword Wheel, the two fundamental laws of metal and wind have also made considerable progress.

The essence of the fundamental law of metal permeates sixty-three kinds, and we are not far from fully comprehending the seventy-two kinds of essence.

As for the fundamental law of wind, he crossed the threshold on the third day of comprehending the dragon corpse, and now he has also comprehended thirty-four kinds of essence.

He has also made good progress in cultivating other amplitude-related secret techniques.

Other techniques, such as the soul defense secret technique "Heavenly Soul Bell," have also been successfully cultivated to the second level.

The Soul Attack Arcane Technique "Heart Piercer" is also progressing well.

As for the sword technique "Jin Yu", he didn't spend much time practicing it.

After all, he initially planned to pursue the path of a mentalist.

Zuo Yan calmed down and tidied up the room.

He walked into the spaceship's cockpit and looked at the star map route on the screen.

"Master, we will arrive at Emerald Star in about three days."

The intelligent life form, Xiao Juan, was lying on the chair, playing a game on a game console.

Upon seeing Zuo Yan arrive, he immediately dropped the game console, stood up, saluted, and said...

Zuo Yan smiled and gave a thumbs-up, saying, "Very energetic, keep it up!"

He sat cross-legged in the center of the cockpit and took out the Dragon Pattern Sword Wheel from his spatial ring.

"This sword wheel truly lives up to its reputation as a masterpiece of a master craftsman. The perfect combination of the four fundamental laws makes it far superior to dual-element divine weapons like the 'Divine Weapon'."

The dragon-patterned sword wheel contains 10081 black and gold flying swords.

The sword wheel has ten layers of secret runes. The power of each rune is far greater than that of the "Divine Weapon". Moreover, it has no specific name or form, making its attacks unpredictable.

The first level of the secret rune requires both the two lower-level fundamental laws of metal and wind to cross the threshold before it can be barely used, and its power is enough to pass through the first level of the Heavenly Bridge.

The second layer of secret runes, in addition to the two fundamental laws of metal and wind, also requires crossing the two superior fundamental laws of time and space to be unleashed. Its power can be fully utilized through the third level of the Heavenly Bridge.

……

Up to the tenth level of the secret rune, one needs to reach the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven to unleash it. Its power is enough to kill a peak Marquis Immortal and contend with an ordinary King.

With Zuo Yan's current level of understanding of the laws, he is already able to perfectly unleash the fourth level of secret runes.

If he were to attempt the Cosmic Bridge now, passing the eighth level would be no problem, and even passing the ninth level with all his might would be possible.

Zuo Yan began to comprehend the fifth secret rune of the Dragon Pattern Sword Wheel in the spaceship's cockpit.

Three days later, Zuo Yan put away the F9-class sword-shaped spaceship and released the D9-class "Qingfeng" towards the vibrant green planet not far away.

"Master, we have received the homing signal from the spaceship docking port on this planet. We are about to arrive at the D-class spaceship parking area!"

"Um."

Zuo Yan waved his hand and released ten combat mechanical puppets, all made of F9 grade metal, each of which could barely fight against ordinary immortals.

He drew them all from the prize pool and just happened to release them to act as guards.

After all, he had just come out of the "newbie village" and was afraid of being bullied by others.

The Qingfeng spacecraft landed perfectly, and Zuo Yan stepped out of the spaceship.

"Sir, your spaceship is a D9 class. Parking on Emerald Star costs 1.5 Qianwu coins per year, even if it's less than a year old!"

A staff member, entirely purple with six antennae on his head and resembling an Earthling, appeared and guided Zuo Yan to land the spaceship.

Zuo Yan nodded and produced two gold coins engraved with the national emblem of the Qianwu Empire.

"Keep the change, please."

After saying that, Zuo Yan stepped onto the dragon-patterned sword wheel and flew into Emerald Star with the ten combat mechanical puppets controlled by Xiao Juan.

"Xiao Juan, let's go to the Imperial Government Office to register our citizenship first, and then we can do other things."

"Understood, Master!"

As a planet directly controlled by the royal family of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, its prosperity is beyond doubt.

The imperial government offices are located in a magnificent hall that is 10,000 meters high.

There is an office reception desk on the sixth floor.

"Sir, you wish to apply for citizenship in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. May I ask what your previous nationality was?"

A pretty female staff member asked in a sweet voice.

Zuo Yan sat in an armchair and said, "I have never held any nationality before."

The female employee was taken aback after hearing this.

She never expected that this powerful cosmic-level expert in front of her had never held any other nationality.

After all, a cosmic-level powerhouse is a formidable existence even in some star systems; there's no reason for them to be an "unregistered" individual!

The female employee immediately regained her composure and began processing Zuo Yan's citizenship in the Qianwu Empire.

"Sir, your identity has been successfully processed. Here is your identity card and identity number! The fee is 1 Qianwu Coin."

The female employee handed over a silver metal tag with Zuo Yan's identification number on it.

An identification number is like an ID number on Earth; it can be used to open bank accounts and so on.

Zuo Yan waved his hand, releasing a Qianwu coin and taking away the silver identity token.

After leaving the Imperial Government Office, he flew towards the shop opened by the Virtual Universe Company.

He wants to buy a virtual universe consciousness-sensing helmet to test the reality of what is touted as a second universe.

Ten minutes later, Zuo Yan bought a deep blue, technologically advanced consciousness-sensing helmet and activated a 10,000-year time package.

Then he went to the bank account opened at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

I plan to sell all the things I don't need to the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

Guided by bank staff, Zuo Yan entered a closed room.

"Sir, after you go in, place the items you want to sell in the round plate in the center of the room. The bank's intelligent system will detect their value and then directly transfer the money to your account."

Thank you!

Zuo Yan entered the sealed room alone.

The room was constructed of an unknown grade of blue metal, with twinkling starlight.

A blue light began scanning Zuo Yan, and then a virtual robot projection appeared in the room.

"Please place the items you wish to sell into the tray in front of you."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Yan placed a spatial ring into the disc.

A scanning beam shot out from the robot's projector eye.

Two and a half minutes later, a mechanical voice devoid of any emotion sounded.

"All items are valued at 3500 million Mixed Yuan Units. Sell?"

"All for sale."

The spatial ring in the disc sank into it, and at the same time, a beam of light from the robot's projection shot into the auxiliary light brain on Zuo Yan's left hand.

A notification appeared indicating that the money had been deposited into Xinghe Bank's account.

[Your Galaxy Bank account 3231xxxx0901 received 3500 million Mixed Yuan Units at cosmic time xxxx.]

Your Galaxy Bank deposits have exceeded 1000 million Mixed Yuan Units, and your account has been upgraded to a Five-Star Account.

【Dear Valued Five-Star Customers, our bank offers the following benefits!】

……

……

Zuo Yan left the room and found that in addition to his ten combat mechanical puppets, there was another person standing outside the door waiting for him.

It was a slightly overweight, bald man wearing a bright red robe.

At this moment, the bald man saw Zuo Yan come out and greeted him with a happy look on his face, as if he had found money.

"You must be Mr. Zuo! I'm the president of Xinghe Bank, you can just call me Lu Lan!"

Just now, Lu Lan, the branch manager of the Emerald Planet River Bank, was notified by the system that a new five-star user had appeared.

That's why he rushed downstairs to personally greet this client.

"President Lu Lan."

Zuo Yan nodded in acknowledgment, preparing to leave.

"Mr. Zuo Yan, is this your first time visiting Emerald Star? Would you do me the honor of dining at the most delicious restaurant on Emerald Star?"

"Alright, then I'll gladly accept!"

"please!"

President Lu Lan's strength is also at the ninth level of the universe level. As the president of a branch of Star River Bank, and having lived on Emerald Star for so long, perhaps she has connections that allow Zuo Yan to gather some information.

……

Inside a towering building tens of thousands of meters high on the central continent of Emerald Star.

Two people were sitting in a private room that occupied over a thousand square meters.

Zuo Yan raised his glass to Lu Lan and said, "I wonder if Director Lu has any way to join the five major human powers?"

Someone like Lu Lan, who can serve as the branch manager of Star River Bank, one of the five major powers, on a prosperous planet like Emerald Star, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Qianwu Empire, must have a powerful background.

Therefore, although Zuo Yan asked directly, he was not worried about anything.

After all, he is a five-star customer of Xinghe Bank, no less than Lu Lan.

He had just left the village and didn't have many connections or channels.

"Mr. Zuo has come to the right person!"

Lu Lan did not have any other thoughts because of Zuo Yan's question.

Along the way, he discovered that Zuo Yan had just registered his citizenship on Emerald Star.

Furthermore, during his conversation with Zuo Yan, he was fooled by Zuo Yan's fabricated identity as a disciple of a reclusive powerhouse.

Looking at the ten tall combat mechanical puppets behind Zuo Yan, he dared not have any other thoughts.

In order to befriend him, he shared the information he knew.

"Mr. Zuo has the strength of a ninth-level cosmic level expert. If he wants to join the five major powers, he can only wait for the Cosmic Strongest Battle held at the Giant Axe Arena more than three thousand years from now."

"There's another way!"

Lu Lan returned the toast to Zuo Yan, and looked at Zuo Yan mysteriously.

Zuo Yan thought for a moment and then shook his head.

Three thousand years is a long time; in that time, Zuo Yan would probably have already broken through to the Realm Lord level.

But Zuo Yan didn't want to wander the universe like Hu Yanbo, a wandering cultivator.

After all, one's talent is extraordinary, and one can reach the pinnacle of strength through perseverance and hard work.

But I'm afraid some of the older men don't have any martial ethics.

Therefore, it's best to join one of the five major powers and find a backer.

"This is a small gift I would like to give to President Lu."

"Please explain the second method, President Lu."
