Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 267 Departure

Time flies, and three months have passed in no time.

"Master, you have received a new email." Chi Yan's voice rang in Yang Wu's mind.

"mail?"

Yang Wu, who was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, immediately sent a wisp of his consciousness to connect to the virtual universe network.

……

Virtual Universe, Primitive Zone, Yangwu Manor.

In the study.

Yang Wu sat at his desk, looked at the screen in front of him, and quickly opened the new email.

The email's subject was precisely "Formal Appointment of Primal Secret Realm Domain Lord-Level Members"!

This external appointment is a test that the Virtual Universe Company uses to assess the core members at the domain lord level.

As a member of the Primal Secret Realm, Yang Wu was appointed to the highest official position when he was sent out to other areas.

As expected, Yang Wu was appointed as the Inspector of the Qianwu Branch of the Virtual Universe Company.

The Virtual Universe Company's "Qianwu Branch" in the Qianwu Universe Country is mainly divided into the Military Department, the Commerce Department, and the Military Department. The heads of these three departments are the highest-ranking officials in the Qianwu Branch.

Among them, the Martial Department is responsible for managing a large number of powerful individuals directly under the Virtual Universe Company, as well as collecting and cultivating geniuses throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

The Ministry of Commerce is responsible for commercial matters, employing hundreds of millions of people and possessing astonishing wealth, involving a vast array of interests.

The military, however, is not a permanent department of the Virtual Universe Company in each of its universe nations.

The human race comprises 1008 cosmic nations, governed by two major powers: the Giant Axe Arena and the Virtual Universe Corporation.

The Qianwu Universe Kingdom is one of the 504 universe kingdoms under the Virtual Universe Company.

Therefore, within the Qianwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company, there is also a "military department" that is specifically responsible for jointly managing the standing space army of the Universe Nation with the high-level officials of the Universe Nation itself.

The Qianwu Branch wields immense power within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The leaders of these three branches, in terms of status alone, are probably second only to the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

Within the Virtual Universe Company, members of the Primal Secret Realm hold a status comparable to that of an immortal god at the Marquis level. Therefore, when they are sent out, their status is equivalent to that of the three ministers, and they wield immense real power.

Moreover, the special envoy has the privilege of oversight, and can monitor the three major departments. If any abnormality is found, it can be directly reported to the headquarters, which will then handle the matter.

The email clearly stated that when Yang Wu reaches the Realm Lord level, this position will be automatically relinquished, and he will receive a reward of one million points.

During the period of external release, Virtual Universe Company will occasionally issue some special missions, and each mission will have corresponding points rewards.

"The appointment has been issued, and I will be returning to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom." Yang Wu's eyes shone brightly, and as this moment arrived, his heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.

There is an ancient Chinese proverb: "To return home in glory and wealth is like wearing fine clothes at night."

Yang Wu's pursuit of the path to becoming a strongman stems not only from his desire for immense power but also from his wish to improve the lives of those around him.

After all, even if Yang Wu could really latch onto Luo Feng's coattails and break through to immortality, thus achieving eternal existence...

But Yang Wu in that state would be completely unable to help his relatives, and he would only be able to watch helplessly as his relatives fell one by one before their lifespan came to an end.

"Earth, family, I'm coming home!"

The image of that blue planet appeared in Yang Wu's mind, along with the relatives and friends he had met there. A hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

……

The virtual universe, 'Amethyst Island' under the jurisdiction of the Qianwu Continent.

This is the office of the Virtual Universe Company's Qianwu branch. At the same time that Yang Wu made the appointment, the three ministers who had given Yang Wu gifts also received the news.

Inside the grand hall.

Three towering thrones were placed beside the enormous round table, and a figure sat on each throne at this moment.

"Your Highness Yang Wu has already broken through to the Domain Lord level?" asked the Golden Feather Marquis, whose handsome appearance was almost sinister and who had three golden feathers on his head.

Although the members of the Primal Secret Realm are comparable to the Marquis-level Immortals in terms of status, in the end, they are just geniuses.

If ordinary members of the Primal Secret Realm were sent to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, these three giants would give them some face, but they wouldn't value them as much as they do now.

Yang Wu, however, is different. Given the astonishing talent he has displayed, they now address him respectfully as "Your Highness" when they talk about him in private.

"His Highness should have broken through to the Domain Lord level by now!" exclaimed the ape-man, Purple Lightning Marquis.

He was dressed in a purple robe, around which wisps of electric light emanated.

"Having left Chaos City for less than a hundred years, His Highness Yang Wu has already passed the twelfth level of the Bridge to Heaven! This is simply unheard of!"

"Perhaps His Highness had already traversed the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a cosmic-level peak, before his breakthrough," Zidian Hou exclaimed, his voice filled with envy and awe.

If he had such talent... even just one percent of it, he could easily reach the King level!

Although the position of the branch manager of the Qianwu Sect is very high, comparable to that of a king or immortal, in the end, he is only a marquis! He is not qualified to join the legendary "Hongmeng".

While a Marquis-level Immortal might dominate a region within a cosmic kingdom, they are nothing special within a virtual universe company.

There are more than two thousand Marquis-level powerhouses of equal status to him in the Virtual Universe Company alone.

"It is an honor for the three of us to have the opportunity to work with His Highness Yang Wu!" said the girl in black veil, Hei Yanhou, with a soft smile.

"However, this special envoy has the authority to investigate many things we did during our tenure. Moreover, given His Highness Yang Wu's status and position, he may have even spoken directly with the company's senior management. If His Highness intends to cause us trouble, the three of us are finished!"

"No way!" the ape-man Purple Lightning Marquis exclaimed in surprise. "When His Highness Yang Wu left the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the three of us presented him with gifts. Would His Highness really turn against us?"

"Stupid monkey!" the sinister-looking Jin Yuhou said disdainfully, "You don't actually think His Highness Yang Wu would care about the value of your measly gift, do you?"

"I'm so unlucky!" Jin Yuhou kept complaining, "I've only been a minister for a short time, and it's bad enough that I encountered a member of the Primal Secret Realm being sent out, but to make matters worse, I ran into a monstrous genius like His Highness Yang Wu!"

It's impossible for someone of their status and position to be completely clean.

Even if they keep perfect accounts and destroy all the evidence, if the special envoy investigates seriously, he will definitely find some problems.

Even if the problem isn't serious, dismissal is inevitable.

If it were anyone else, even with supervisory privileges, daring to oppose the three of them would force them to become adversaries, and they might even take the risk of sending someone to assassinate them.

But Yang Wu...

This had already extinguished even the slightest thought of resistance in them; if they were to truly oppose Yang Wu, they would likely be courting death.

Under normal circumstances, after being mocked by Marquis Jin Yu, Marquis Zi Dian would definitely retaliate.

But now, Marquis Zidian felt a sense of shared suffering.

"The things your military department did will at most result in dismissal and investigation, and then you can go to the extraterritorial battlefield to atone for your crimes. But if my commercial department were to investigate seriously, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to go to the extraterritorial battlefield. I'd probably end up in the starfield prison."

"Indeed!" Jin Yuhou chuckled, "Now that you mention it, I feel much better!"

"Hmph!" The ape-man Purple Lightning Marquis snorted coldly, his eyes filled with endless worry: "I only hope that His Highness Yang Wu can take into account the little bit of friendship we had back then and show us leniency."

When Yang Wu won first place in the Genius Battle, they had already considered this day and presented him with the auxiliary metal life form 'Kash' as ​​a gift in advance.

What the three of them didn't expect was that this day would come so soon, and that Yang Wu's status was even more prestigious than they had imagined.

If this were an ordinary core member of a primitive secret realm, the value of this gift would be about the same.

But what is Yang Wu's identity?

Such a treasure is probably not worth mentioning in Yang Wu's eyes now.

"Alright!" Marquis Heiyan frowned. "I gathered everyone here not to hear complaints!"

"With Prince Yang Wu's talent, even a great being like the Chaos City Lord would probably pay some attention to him. Now that he has broken through to the Domain Lord level and come to our Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the lives of the three of us are in his hands."

"We have no other choice but to rely on his attitude and we must not provoke His Highness in any way."

"Of course, we can also take the initiative. I've heard that His Highness Yang Wu has a very good relationship with his teacher, Marquis Jin Guang. Even after His Highness became a disciple of the Nine Swords Venerable, he still frequently contacts Marquis Jin Guang. We could start from this angle!"

"That's right!" Marquis Zidian and Marquis Jinyu suddenly realized.

Immediately, the two exclaimed, "Marquis Jin Guang is truly fortunate to have taken on such a brilliant and talented disciple as His Highness Yang Wu!"

Before this, the three of them were the three big bosses of the Qianwu branch, with prominent status and great power!

Even for ordinary marquises like Jin Guanghou, who are at the initial stage of immortality, it is quite difficult to even meet them.

But now, we have to treat them like royalty!

The woman in black veil pointed into the void, where a screen appeared displaying a detailed plan. "This is my personally devised solution. Take a look."

Marquis Jin Yu and Marquis Zi Dian immediately looked at the screen.

The woman in black veil continued, "This matter is both a bad thing and a good thing."

"As long as His Highness Yang Wu doesn't perish, he will have a bright future. We should make sure he has a comfortable and enjoyable time as the special envoy, and we can also build a relationship with him."

Marquis Jin Yu and Marquis Zi Dian exchanged a glance, and a sense of anticipation rose in their hearts.

……

at the same time.

The Primal Secret Realm, Wuchen Continent.

Above Yang Wu's palace complex, a triangular spaceship, entirely black in color, was hovering.

"Now, everyone board the spaceship!" Yang Wu ordered directly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Below the spaceship, the guard force, consisting of an immortal god, 10 realm lords, 100 domain lords, and 1000 cosmic-level warriors, responded in unison.

Immediately, these guards surrounded Yang Wu and transformed into streaks of light, flying directly towards the spaceship's hatch.

The spaceship that Yang Wu customized was several hundred meters in diameter, which was enough to accommodate all the guards.

Yang Wu put a great deal of effort into building this spaceship, which was even equipped with advanced technologies such as a planet-destroying cannon and an E-class laser gun.

With Yang Wu's current strength, he doesn't need to rely too much on these technological weapons, but for Latte, who is only at the peak of the Domain Lord level, these weapons are indispensable.

Yang Wu sat on the sofa, poured himself and the guard commander Field each a glass of fruit wine, and smiled, "Field, I'll be relying on you during my time as the special envoy of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

Field stood to the side and said respectfully, "Your Highness, this is simply my duty."

"However..." A hint of panic flashed in Field's eyes: "Your Highness's current status is extraordinary. I'm afraid it's difficult for us alone to protect Your Highness."

Yang Wu's guard includes 1 immortal god, 10 world lords, 100 domain lords, and 1000 universe-level beings.

With such strength, they could probably sweep away a mid-level civilization similar to the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield.

For ordinary members of the Primal Secret Realm, this level of strength is sufficient, so Field has no need to worry.

But the Prince Yang Wu before him had probably become a thorn in the side of the alien races, and if he were to be assassinated, it would likely be a swift and devastating blow.

If there are no other arrangements, their deaths are not a pity, but the loss of a peerless genius like Yang Wu to the human race would be a huge loss.

Of course, Tafield's life was also incredibly precious.

Having finally broken through to immortality and gained eternal life, he was unwilling to die in vain.

"No need to worry!" Yang Wu smiled and said, "Of course I would value my own life above all else! I already consulted Master Nine Swords Venerable before I left."

Yang Wu said this to reassure the other party.

It is probably common knowledge now that following Yang Wu to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom would inevitably lead to immense danger.

Even some of Yang Wu's guards have applied for transfer.

Despite failing to protect Yang Wu in this simulated experience, Field did not choose to leave but instead steadfastly followed Yang Wu.

This also changed Yang Wu's perception of him quite a bit.

Of course, Yang Wu was extremely confident about the safety of the vehicle.

Firstly, Yang Wu possesses a clone and has an extremely strong will, giving him an exceptionally powerful ability to protect himself.

Secondly, and most importantly.

That means Yang Wu really did ask Master Nine Swords about his safety.

But the Nine Swords Venerable said decisively, "Don't worry, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is the core of human territory. Even if a powerful being comparable to my master were to assassinate you, they would not return alive!"

The Nine Swords Venerable is a high-level venerable in the universe!

Such strength is quite rare even in the universe.

Before Luo Feng's clone was exposed, none of the assassins sent by the other three peak groups within the Ancestral God Sect had surpassed his strength.

Although Yang Wu knew that he had amazing talent, relatively speaking, he was still less of a threat than Luo Feng, who had won hundreds of thousands of matches in the Ancestral God Sect.

"So Your Highness already had a plan in mind!"

After hearing Yang Wu's words, Field finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Yang and Wu raised their glasses and drank together.

It's a bit late, and I didn't reach the word limit. Please refresh the page tomorrow.
