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

Chapter 408 The Giant Axe Descends

Virtual Universe, Hongmeng City.

As the current head of intelligence for the Hongmeng Alliance, the Iron Wall Venerable naturally holds multiple positions.

Within the virtual universe company, there was also a position that matched his status.

After all, every mission assigned to a genius involves military mobilization and requires the cooperation of the intelligence department.

He still vividly remembers the little incident from two hundred years ago.

He truly hadn't expected that Bai Yang would receive his inheritance in the demon realm without needing their help.

This left him with absolutely no opportunity to do favors, which is quite regrettable.

His status was so high that trivial matters would naturally not be reported to him.

But today, he unexpectedly received an interesting email.

There was a cosmic venerable named Boswa who had a great grievance about the delayed assignment of Bai Yang's outward mission.

For reasons unknown, his colleagues also joined in and fanned the flames.

So everything got back to him.

The Iron Wall Venerable was surprised, as the five major powers all had similar mechanisms.

It is perfectly normal for geniuses at the Domain Lord level to be sent out for assessment.

But things were quite different when it came to Bai Yang.

He took control of the demon race's network and won the battle against the demon race's strongest warriors.

They slaughtered a large number of genius domain lords of the demon race and also seized the inheritance quota of the Universal God General.

Of all these things, which one could a normal domain lord accomplish?

The difficulty of any single stage of a Domain Lord-level fourth-stage quest cannot compare to these things.

Some of those venerable ones who originally assigned the tasks might know something.

But they could never know everything, and they were also secretly puzzled by this eerie silence.

So they were also subtly testing the reactions of those above.

Having accomplished so many great things, and now at this crucial moment of receiving the inheritance, you still want to assign Bai Yang a task?

Even without asking, the Iron Wall Venerable knew that the Chaos City Lord would never agree.

Even if his own teacher, the founder of the Giant Axe, knew, he would never agree to it.

He quickly glanced through the attached letter of complaint from Boswa:

Even geniuses can't just hold a position without doing any work!

This precedent must not be set!

……

Even the most talented person will not thrive without hardship.

If you remain mediocre and unproductive for a long time, you'll become a useless person!

Ok!

This Berswah, his tone was entirely concerned with the greater good of the human race.

Doesn't this make it seem like the upper echelons of Virtual Universe Company were all "inconsiderate"?

The Iron Wall Venerable was disgusted by this; he hated this kind of arrogant tone that used his hat to intimidate others.

With a grim face, he replied with a strongly worded email, indicating that the matter was over.

A few minutes later, all the Cosmic Venerables in the Thunder Mountain Conference Room received a mass reply email.

"Bai Yang is carrying out a top-secret mission arranged by Hongmeng."

All his assignments outside the region have been cancelled. Don't ask about him anymore!

"Universal Master Boswa is taking a break from his duties, effective today!"

All the cosmic venerables were filled with horror.

So impolite, and they even dismissed a mid-level manager from a virtual universe company?!

They had never seen anything like this in their long lives.

Does the cosmic venerable one still have any dignity?

Boswa's face turned pale, and even with his cultivation level, he trembled slightly.

He simply couldn't accept it!

Iron Wall Venerable, an outsider who is half a virtual universe company, actually dared to issue such an order!

This is either because they are fearless or because they are certain that none of the lords of the universe will object!

What mission is Bai Yang currently carrying out?

What great things can a domain lord accomplish?

Everyone thought of this problem at the same time, but they couldn't figure it out.

But now that the matter has become an untouchable secret, they will completely forget about it.

The conference room door opened, and all the other Cosmic Venerables filed out one after another.

Only Berswa was left there, still in a daze.

He knew that he might never be able to enter that virtual conference room he was familiar with again.

-

The virtual universe, the enormous gathering hall atop Star City.

Bai Yang listened with a smile as Luo Feng told him about the changes that had taken place on his side over the years.

Nearly two hundred years have passed, and he remains largely the same as before.

There are just two things that are different.

First, the Lord of Chaos City extended an olive branch to him in advance.

Bai Yang knew perfectly well the reason behind this.

The improvement in Luo Feng's strength is actually a good thing.

Secondly, Luo Feng's domain lord mission has become completely different.

This is certainly due to the fact that the various clones of the Star Guardian have been secretly protecting him, as well as the protection of all his relatives and friends.

This meant that Luo Hongguo had no chance to make any mistakes.

But more importantly, the actual setup of the task is completely different.

It's almost as if the examiner who issued the task has been replaced.

As for the reason behind this, even he didn't know.

Luo Feng asked with a smile:

"Brother Bai, just how difficult is the third stage of the Universal God General?"

"Back in the Demon Mountain, I failed before I even finished the first stage."

Seeing that he was interested, Bai Yang figured there was nothing wrong with saying it, so he said:

"Originally it was two hundred years, but I have completed the second stage."

But now, I've only completed a third of the same task.

Luo Feng asked nervously, "Will this fail?"

Bai Yang smiled slightly and said:

"It's okay, it just takes a little more time."

This is no problem for me.

Seeing his relaxed demeanor, Ai Chen, Hong, and Lei Shen, who were standing nearby, knew that he wasn't the type to talk nonsense, and they all believed him.

Bai Yang stood up from his seat, walked straight to Yang Wu on the other side of the hall, and whispered to him:

"Brother Yang, how's it going?"

Are they alright?

Yang Wu also lowered his voice and replied:

"Sir, once the personnel and equipment are in place..."

We've been training for decades, and we're ready to move at any time.

Obtaining almost all of the demon race's technical data has been of immense help to us.

Bai Yang had always trusted him, and hearing him say this, he knew it was a sure thing.

He couldn't help but praise, "You've really worked hard all these years."

Yang Wu laughed heartily and said:

"Without you, sir, how could I have reached the level of cosmic strength on my own?"

I'm the only one who should thank you.

Bai Yang knew this was his true feeling.

The strange cells in Yang Wu's body now have no effect on his thinking; they only serve to facilitate mental communication.

That is why he was willing to entrust him with the command of his strongest part of his power.

He and Yang Wu walked to the window together and looked into the distance.

"For the sake of the planet, we have no way out and must be fully prepared."

I believe in some people's promises, but there are still some things I have to be wary of.

Therefore, your strength is crucial.

Yang Wu said confidently, "Sir, don't worry."

We are all ready.

Bai Yang lightly clinked his wine glass with his and said, "Then I'm relieved."

Several months later, in Earth's orbit.

A massive, imposing figure suddenly appeared there.

The founder of the giant axe has finally come to Earth in person!

None of this disturbed any of the technological equipment here.

He looked at the beautiful blue planet with admiration.

He looked at the Earth, and the images reflected in his eyes suddenly began to flow backwards.

Then the speed at which these images flowed back increased faster and faster.

A few hours later, he suddenly came to his senses, his face filled with shock and admiration:

"So that's why..."

What a formidable mountain dweller!

"Well done, Bai Yang!"
