My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

On a commercial planet in the core star system of the Aurora Starfield, a belated reckoning is unfolding...

Duan Lingtian stood in a magnificent hall, with five people kneeling before him.

These five people were all cultivators from the fairy realm who once came from the Blue Star Lighthouse Kingdom and the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.

After Meng Chuan declared that there would be no immortals in either country for eternity, he was stranded in the heavens and became homeless. Because of this, he harbored resentment and revealed the secret that the people of Earth could travel through countless worlds in their physical bodies to five different forces.

Each of those five forces had an early-stage Immortal Emperor in charge, and their size was comparable to that of the Yun family.

After receiving the news, they were indeed intrigued and sent people to the Milky Way to investigate Meng Chuan's background.

But before they could find out the truth, the news of the Yun family's massacre spread throughout the entire Aurora Starfield!

An entire clan can be wiped out in three steps!

Late-stage Immortal Emperor!

These two keywords, like two heavy hammer blows, struck the heads of every faction that received the message.

After confirming the information, the leaders of the five factions did not hesitate at all. They immediately found the five informants, packaged them up, and sent them to Duan Lingtian.

They even included a generous gift and an apology letter, stating that they "had absolutely no intention of coveting Earth; it was all the work of these few petty people sowing discord!"

At this moment, the five people knelt on the ground, trembling all over, their faces as pale as paper.

"Duan Lingtian... no, Senior Duan! Grandpa Duan!"

A muscular middle-aged man prostrated himself on the ground, his voice trembling with rage, "We were confused for a moment! Please, for the sake of us fellow Earthlings, spare our lives!"

"Yes, Senior Duan! We know we were wrong! We'll never do it again!"

Another well-dressed girl cried out, her forehead pounding against the floor, "Please give us a chance! We're willing to serve you and Senior Meng like slaves!"

Duan Lingtian looked down at them, his face expressionless.

We're both from Earth, right?

When you leaked the secrets of Earth to external forces, did you ever think about the fact that we are all Earthlings?

He didn't speak, but simply raised his hand and gently clenched his fist.

The five people's voices stopped abruptly.

Their bodies seemed to be gripped from the inside by an invisible hand, their bones cracking and splintering, before they collapsed to the ground like five puddles of mud, lifeless.

Duan Lingtian withdrew his hand, looking at the five corpses on the ground with a blank expression.

If Senior Meng doesn't possess that kind of strength, what fate awaits the people of Blue Star once the secrets of Blue Star are exposed?

These people deserved to die!

He turned around and ordered his men behind him, "Clean it up."

These subordinates were arranged by Han Li and his group to serve Duan Lingtian, and the weakest among them were all at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, which was equivalent to Duan Lingtian.

"yes!"

The men immediately stepped forward and dragged the five corpses away.

Duan Lingtian stood in the main hall, his gaze passing through the window as he looked towards the distant starry sky.

His predecessors have paved the way for him; now it's up to him to make it work.

He still has a lot to do...

Take over the Yun family's businesses, integrate resources, establish an intelligence network, and build a solid barrier for Blue Star.

Since his senior had entrusted Blue Star to him, he couldn't let him down!

……

The Blood Shadow traveled through the stars for seven days.

During these seven days, Meng Chuan spent most of his time lying in a massage chair, drinking, looking at the stars, and occasionally flipping through the ancient books that Han Li had left on the ship.

Those ancient books recorded the history, geography, and power distribution of the Aurora Starfield and some surrounding starfields, as well as some insights and experiences about cultivation laws.

Although these insights are mostly superficial for someone of his level, they are suitable for passing the time.

On the seventh day, Meng Chuan put down the ancient book in his hand, stood up, and walked to the porthole.

Outside the window, a starry sky far more dazzling than the aurora borealis unfolded before me.

The nebulae are magnificent, the Milky Way stretches across the sky, and countless stars shine in this star field, adorning the dark universe like a huge painting.

The captain of the Blood Shadow, an elderly man with the peak cultivation of the Great Luo Realm and gray hair, carefully walked behind Meng Chuan.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Senior Meng, we have entered the edge of the central region of the Weiyang Starfield. We expect to arrive near the 'Wind and Thunder Holy Land' in three days."

Meng Chuan didn't turn around, but simply gave a soft "hmm".

The captain hesitated for a moment, then added, "Senior Meng, regarding that Lei Man Immortal Emperor... I have traveled in the Weiyang Star Region for many years and have heard some rumors about him."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Meng Chuan turned around and looked at him.

The captain organized his thoughts and slowly said, "The Thunder Barbarian Immortal Emperor, whose original name was Lei Hong, came from an ordinary cultivation family. It is said that he had mediocre talent in his youth, and his cultivation speed was far slower than that of his peers. He was once regarded as an abandoned child by his family."

"However, this person possessed an extremely resilient character. During a training expedition, he accidentally obtained a fragmented lightning-based cultivation technique, and from then on, he was unstoppable!"

"With unimaginable perseverance, he managed to complete and perfect that incomplete martial arts manual, and on that basis, he forged his own path."

"After he became famous, someone asked him why he chose the Taoist name 'Lei Man' (meaning 'Thunderous Barbarian'). He said, 'In my life, I only believe in one principle—if you're ruthless enough, there's no sky you can't cleave!'"

After listening, Meng Chuan remained silent for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"As long as you're ruthless enough, there's no sky you can't split open..."

He repeated the sentence, his interest growing even stronger.

"That's interesting."

He turned around and looked again at the deep starry sky outside the window.

"Immortal Emperor Lei Man... I hope you really are as rumored and won't disappoint me."

Seeing this, the captain wisely bowed and withdrew.

Meng Chuan stood by the porthole, watching the Milky Way rushing past outside, picked up his wine glass, and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.

Three days later, he will face the strongest person in this large star field!

In his heart, there was no fear, no tension, only a faint expectation.

He put down his glass and muttered to himself, "I hope you can give me a good time, and maybe even help me take that crucial step!"

He is currently at the late stage of Quasi-Saint level, just one step away from reaching the peak of the late stage of Quasi-Saint, and then he can challenge for the "Peak of Quasi-Saint"!

Of course, in this universe, there are no "quasi-saints," only "immortal emperors."
