Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 321 The Prison Clan Worshipper

The white, oval-shaped aircraft carrying Bai Yang slowly descended to the mountaintop.

This area is an absolute no-go zone for the indigenous people, except for the aircraft of the five major factions.

Except for those stronger than immortals, no object is allowed to fly in the air.

The metal robot stopped the spaceship, respectfully opened the hatch, and welcomed Bai Yang out of the cabin.

He looked around, and the entire mountaintop seemed to have been carved out of thin air to become a platform.

The ground is paved with pure white, crystalline stone, which is quite different from the rest of the city.

From a distance, it looks like a giant black mountain with a layer of white snow on its summit.

Dozens of enormous buildings sit on the entire white platform.

Five of them are particularly tall and eye-catching, making them hard to miss.

With Bai Yang's eyesight, he immediately saw the symbols of the five major human factions engraved on the five buildings.

The robot is now leading him to one of them, a branch of the First Bank of the Universe.

Bai Yang followed it into the bank, where the staff's spirit and energy were completely different from those on the mountainside.

"No Indigenous employees?"

Slightly surprised, Bai Yang went to the exchange window and quickly received one billion Black Stone Coins.

He then left the area and headed towards the other side of the mountaintop plaza, towards the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

He felt much more at ease once he entered the lobby.

He told the staff his purpose directly, and soon someone took him to the elevator to the thirtieth floor.

The two entered a magnificent reception room, and the ordinary staff immediately took their leave.

Bai Yang had only been sitting and waiting for a while when a thin, red-haired man walked in.

He was emanating astonishing fluctuations of the laws, indicating that he was an immortal being.

"Hello." Bai Yang stood up and greeted him.

"I am the resident supervisor, my name is Quinster."

Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities.

The man smiled broadly and handed over a backpack.

"Your Highness Baiyang, you are truly remarkable."

Very few people choose the missions here anymore.

Here are the items you'll need to complete your mission; please keep them safe.

Bai Yang put the backpack directly into his ring and asked:

"Mr. Kunst, are there really very few people coming?"

I see there are quite a few people around here.

Kunst gave off a very capable and talkative impression, and it was clear that he wanted to gather intelligence from Bai Yang's conversation.

He readily accepted the good advice and explained:

"Your Highness, there is nothing wrong."

There are indeed not many geniuses from the five major forces who dare to come to the Abyss of Purgatory to carry out missions.

Did you notice anything unusual about the buildings on the platform on your way here?

Bai Yang laughed and said, "It is a bit strange."

This is the original secret realm of our Virtual Universe Company, but I found that the Giant Axe Arena and the building of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance actually look more magnificent than our branch.

At first, I almost thought I had gone to the wrong place.

Kunst showed an appreciative expression; Bai Yang had actually noticed the anomaly on his own.

"The Abyss of Purgatory belongs to [the company], that's right."

However, the Giant Axe Arena and the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance do have deep roots here.

In terms of numbers, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance is the number one force in the universe.

The founder of the Giant Axe seemed to greatly admire cultivators with strong willpower.

So, to allow the members to hone their skills as much as possible, we became a place that many of them would definitely visit.

And it's not just here, but also includes the Glory Secret Realm Prison Battlefield controlled by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

Both companies pay particular attention to areas that greatly benefit willpower.

Bai Yang nodded and said, "I see."

The mission locations for the core members of the Primal Realm cover all the high-end realms of the five major factions of the entire human race.

He wasn't surprised that the five major powers had deep cooperation among themselves.

So he asked again:

"Mr. Kunst, you've been working here before, haven't you?"

Could you perhaps offer some suggestions regarding my task?

Kunst glanced at Bai Yang, then suddenly laughed and said:

"Your Highness, although I am the supervisor here, I am responsible for the daily work."

Actually, I'm not qualified to know the specifics of your task; everything given to you was prepared in advance by the company.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang nodded in sudden understanding, looking as if he fully comprehended it.

"However, I do have a suggestion for you."

If you'd like to hear it, feel free to keep it in mind.

"Please speak."

Kunst looked out the window and said softly:

"The environment here is certainly very harsh, but sometimes what is even more terrifying is people."

Have you heard of the "Prison Clan Worshippers"?

Bai Yang shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"The indigenous people here who are able to survive and grow up are born with strong willpower."

They have almost become assimilated with this omnipresent demonic energy, and their personalities are inevitably somewhat irritable and extreme.

In addition, there are always some spoiled rich kids among us outsiders who go too far, and a certain trend of thought has emerged.

"So, the [Prison Clan Worshippers]?" Bai Yang asked.

Kunst nodded affirmatively and said:

"That's right. To them, we are outsiders too."

It's not a good thing at all, after coming into contact with the virtual universe.

Many of them became aware of the Prison Clan's existence and even began to identify themselves as members of the Prison Clan, causing us a lot of trouble.

Bai Yang understood perfectly; this situation was entirely normal.

Wasn't the original Earth destined for a similar fate?

If it weren't for Luo Feng's powerful rise, the conflict between Earthlings and extraterrestrial immigrants would have been irreconcilable.

This is also a problem he absolutely must solve.

"So here, the indigenous people are not really trustworthy."

There are even rumors that some outsiders who have lived here for a long time have been unknowingly affected in some way.

Your Highness Baiyang, please be careful when carrying out your mission.

It wasn't just those irrational "half-prisoner" monsters; some appeared perfectly normal on the outside, but their inner selves had been corrupted.

Bai Yang nodded seriously and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Kunst."

This information is very useful.

The two shook hands and ended the meeting in a very friendly atmosphere.

Bai Yang walked out of the mountaintop restricted area alone, and then released Doni halfway up the mountain, waking him up.

"My lord, what's wrong with me...?"

Bai Yang smiled slightly:

"You don't need to worry about that. Take me to the real estate agent; I want to buy a house, and then some food and miscellaneous items."

Upon hearing the word "food," Donnie immediately shut up and stopped asking questions, quickly offering directions instead.

When he arrived at the real estate agency, Bai Yang, being wealthy and powerful, quickly spent only 60 million Black Stone Coins.

They bought a large house on the mountainside, near the summit.

This way, he'll have a place to stay for the next few years.

Donnie followed him, carrying large and small bags of food.

Bai Yang didn't tell him to leave, so he wisely stayed and acted as his servant.

After dinner, Bai Yang sat in his bedroom, looking at his personal computer.
