Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 60 Before Leaving (Part 1)

He paid an extra "favor fee" to get the official to help him quickly finalize a series of purchases for Earth and Jiuyang Star.

When Zhou Yang emerged from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's official residence again, he had become a newly appointed lord with two inhabited planets.

Next, with a huge sum of money in his hands, he began a frenzied spree of buying up all the shops in Qiulong City.

"First, we need some interstellar monitoring equipment, at least to monitor the area within the solar system and prevent any ill-intentioned adventurer teams from rashly approaching Earth."

"Yes, buy a few survival bases, some resources to promote the evolution of humanity on Earth, and a few bodyguards."

"Also, once the travel route between Earth and Jiuyang Star is opened, we'll need to buy a few spaceships."

"By the way, that kid Luo Feng should have finished possessing someone by now. Also, give us some of the metal combinations the Golden Horned Beast needs to evolve."

With Babata's help, Zhou Yang quickly drafted a procurement list.

Next, he and Babata either purchased items from shops in Dragon City or placed orders directly through the virtual universe network, and transactions were quickly completed.

A monitoring system capable of monitoring the entire solar system cost a total of 580 billion Black Dragon Coins.

Two C6-level survival fortresses, each capable of withstanding attacks from a cosmic-level powerhouse, were built to a standard capacity of one thousand people, costing a total of 98 billion Black Dragon Coins.

There are 10 C3-level survival bases with a capacity of 5 million to 10 million people, costing a total of 35 billion Black Dragon Coins.

The best evolution metal combination for the Golden Horned Beast that I bought for Luo Feng cost a total of 280 billion Black Dragon Coins.

Considering his close-combat needs, he commissioned a custom-made Tier 3 Force Spear, costing 88 billion Black Dragon Coins.

C5级冒险者飞船5艘，C3级小型货运飞船2艘，B级的小型飞船10艘，总共花费980亿黑龙币。

There is also the Purple Light Dew, which can help ordinary Earthlings evolve to the first level of Apprentice, and a large number of seventh and eighth-level slave bodyguards.

Money flowed out like water.

"Zhou Yang, all orders have been placed and will be delivered to Jiuyang Star within the next two months!"

Babata processed all the orders and quickly reported to Zhou Yang.

"Thank you for your hard work, Babata!"

Zhou Yang replied with a smile.

"Zhou Yang, other lords exploit their people to create profits for themselves, but you, you've just become a lord and you've already given away hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins!"

Inside the smart wristband, the black-robed demon Babata couldn't help but complain.

"Believe me, Babata, it's all worth it!"

Zhou Yang smiled confidently.

With the exceptional comprehension of humankind on Earth, as long as resources are available, it is believed that a large number of star-level or even cosmic-level martial artists can be cultivated very quickly.

At that time, earning hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins will be a piece of cake.

"By the way, Luo Feng's younger brother, Luo Hua, seems to be an investment genius, and his fiancée, Xu Xin, also seems to have a talent for business. We can take out some funds when we go back this time and let them practice beforehand."

Three months later, a massive fleet set off from Jiuyang Star and sailed majestically toward Earth.

On Earth at this moment, a group of high-ranking human leaders, under the organization of Hong and Thor, quickly entered a virtual conference hall in the Ares Palace.

After more than two years of development, the strength of human martial artists on Earth has made leaps and bounds. Now, the number of planetary-level martial artists alone exceeds three hundred!

Therefore, the conference hall was extremely lively at this moment.

"Ha, Lao Wu, you've broken through too! Congratulations!"

"I can't compare to you, old brother. You're already at the second level of the planetary stage."

One by one, familiar planetary-level powerhouses gathered together, exchanging pleasantries with each other.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the original five major human powers surrounded Hong and Thor, trying to gather information.

"Gentlemen, has something important happened that has summoned us all here?"

Since the merger of the Limit Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School two years ago, this is the first time that Hong and Thor have convened a meeting of all human leaders in such a solemn manner, which they cannot help but take seriously.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. The meeting will be chaired by the headmaster himself. He has some things to announce."

Hong, with a cold and stern expression, responded calmly.

"The head of the main hall?"

Upon hearing this somewhat unfamiliar title, the leaders of those factions were momentarily taken aback.

"Is it that Master Zhou?"

It wasn't until the silver-haired, vigorous old man from China reminded them that an incredibly tall yet somewhat blurry young figure gradually emerged in their minds.

When they thought of that person, the leaders of these factions couldn't help but become solemn.

That person is a legendary figure on Earth!

He rose to prominence in a very short time, directly stepping on the shoulders of Hong and Thor to become another legend on Earth.

Even the two ocean beast kings that had plagued humanity for decades were easily dealt with by him.

Subsequently, he joined forces with Hong and Thor to establish the Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy, distributing powerful cultivation techniques from the universe to all martial artists free of charge, resulting in an explosive growth in the strength of human martial artists on Earth.

It is said that he himself has already left Earth and entered the endless universe to pursue a higher realm of martial arts.

It can be said that, whether in terms of personal strength or contributions to the Earth, this person is of paramount importance.

However, because he rose to prominence so quickly and kept such a low profile, many ordinary people are unaware of his existence.

However, while the general public may not know, these individuals, as leaders of major forces on Earth, are well aware of the situation.

He may be low-key, but to be able to easily subdue Hong and Thor, the two former strongest people on Earth, and willingly hand over the wealth they had built up over decades, and constantly stand up for him on various occasions, how could that person's strength and methods be simple!

"Gentlemen, could you give us a heads-up about what Master Zhou has to announce? We'd like to know what it is."

One by one, the elderly men with gray hair persistently inquired about Hong and Lei Shen.

Compared to that legendary figure, they were much more familiar with Hong and Thor.

Seeing their somewhat anxious expressions, the white-robed, bald Thor chuckled and casually offered a word of comfort:

"Don't worry, it's a good thing!"

"Good news?"

The leaders looked at each other, their tense expressions relaxing somewhat.

Seeing that Hong and Lei Shen were unwilling to reveal more, these people could only chat idly and wait quietly.

Not long after—

"Whoosh!"

The space rippled slightly, and a figure suddenly appeared on the main seat of the conference room.

"Um?"

The moment the figure appeared, everyone in the conference hall couldn't help but turn their gaze towards it.

The figure belonged to a young man whose appearance was unusually youthful.

He was dressed in a white training robe, and his face was not particularly outstanding, but there seemed to be a divine light brewing in his eyes, making people somewhat afraid to look directly at him.

A black-robed child, about twenty centimeters tall, with two sharp horns, was perched on his shoulder.

The black-robed child's scarlet eyes scanned the crowd, then he grinned, revealing two sharp teeth.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."
