Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

The spacecraft continued its stealthy probing inside the control hall.

Gao Sheng sat on the large sofa in the back.

"Come, sit down. Mia, you sit down too."

"Master, how are you so powerful? Is that a law? And how did you level up so quickly? Last time I saw you, you were only at level three." Nan Siqian sat beside Gao Sheng, her eyes full of admiration.

"I just grasped it myself. Oh, I forgot to tell you, my name is Gao Sheng Wei Di." Gao Sheng smiled. "Nan Si, you're not bad either, you've also advanced a level. Let me see your spatial artifacts, what do you have?"

"Yes." Nansi took off a ring and a bracelet from her hand, thus breaking the bond between them.

Gao Sheng took it over to take a look, and it was quite large, measuring 20 meters square.

"Wow, you've got quite a few cosmic crystals. There must be over a thousand cubic meters. A second-tier psychic weapon, a first-tier weapon, a second-tier flying weapon... Are you a psychic? And you can even use a knife?"

"I'm not very good at using that knife. I'm an illusionist," Nansi said apologetically.

Gao Sheng waved his hand, "Don't refer to yourself as a subordinate, just call me 'I'."

"Yes, Master."

Gao Sheng returned the two spatial items to Nan Si, and then took out some cultivation resources such as Wood Seed Crystal and Fire Rainbow Marrow, saying, "Take these back."

Nan Si looked delighted, accepted the gift, and put it away after reaffirming its ownership.

Gao Sheng then took out another smart computer, the very one Bai Yu had used. "Use this."

Nan Si quickly took it and said, "Master, we...the Hundred Tigers Tower makes us send emails to report every day. What am I supposed to say?"

Gao Sheng smiled; the Southern Silk Road's role reversal was indeed quick.

"Just say that you encountered a powerful team, and you were the only one left who died. You're running in the opposite direction and can't rejoin the team."

"Yes." Nan Si's beautiful eyes showed confusion, but of course she did as she was told.

"Nansi, do you have any family?"

"I only have one younger brother, who is a planetary-level being," Nan Si said.

"Tell me your virtual universe number and bank card number."

"Yes."

"What is your status at Baihulou?" Gao Sheng asked again.

"I am a Level 2 Elite," Nan Si said.

Level 2 elites? Gao Sheng nodded. Given the composition of Nan Si's team, they should also be Level 2 elites.

However, the second-level elites of the three major organizations and two holy lands in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield are certainly not the second-level elites of the Virtual Universe Company, but they are not much lower. They are not much worse than the third-level elites of the Virtual Universe Company, and some are even stronger. They should be much stronger than He Ruo, whose team of five plus five members is only a third-level elite.

"Does the Hundred Tigers Pavilion have any top-tier elites in this realm within a realm?"

Yes, there are two.

In the past few days, Gao Sheng has basically explored the three areas of Thunderstone that he discovered before, and has found a total of 2000 million Thunderstone. Then he began to fly aimlessly again, hoping to find the fourth area.

Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance again.

Amidst a desolate wasteland of rocks, Gao Sheng and Mia flew side by side. Five kilometers ahead, nine people flew toward Gao Sheng.

"Weilin! It really is you. I saw you from afar and rushed over." Gao Sheng shouted with relief.

When they were about one kilometer apart, both of them stopped at the same time.

With his flowing silver hair and undeniably handsome appearance, Wei Lin asked in bewilderment, "Young Master Gao Sheng, what happened to you?"

"Oh, don't even mention it. I originally had more bodyguards than you, but I never expected to run into a large group from some unknown organization. I barely escaped with my life on the line," Gao Sheng sighed.

"Indeed, this realm within a realm is too dangerous. Why don't we go together?" Wei Lin said with a smile.

Gao Shengxi said happily, "That is indeed my intention."

"Okay." Wei Lin and his bodyguards flew over slowly. However, Wei Lin was flying too slowly. Even though you are only at the first level of the Hengxing Star, you shouldn't be so far behind your bodyguards.

The two sides closed to within a hundred meters. Suddenly, the eight bodyguards unleashed their primal force, and their telekinetic weapons flew into the air!

"snort!"

Two red lights appeared around Gao Sheng.

"No!"

"what!"

……

"Pfft! Pfft!" The red light passed through the heads of the two martial artists along a strange arc, but its speed decreased.

"Clang!" The two men were barely stopped by the martial artist behind them, and blood gushed from their tiger's mouths.

"He actually has a Force suit. This Weilin is indeed rich." Gao Sheng shook his head. Boom! His domain expanded, and the others and the attacking psychic weapons were like being stuck in mud, unable to even touch Gao Sheng.

The throwing knife spun faster again, and two more heads exploded.

Less than half a second had passed since it all happened. Turning around, I saw that Weilin had already turned and fled!

"Go after them! Don't worry about me."

"Yes!" Mia quickly chased after Welin.

By the time Mia had killed the other four bodyguards, she had already bound Navelin tightly and flown back.

"Master! We've caught him," Mia reported.

"Why did you arrest him?" Gao Sheng was both amused and exasperated. Did he really think I was a slave trader?

Wei Lin had long lost his handsome appearance; his face was contorted in terror as he cried out, "Young Master Gao Sheng, spare me! I was blinded by greed! I was wrong! Spare me!"

Gao Sheng said calmly, "Wei Lin, don't say I didn't give you a chance. I wouldn't have minded saving your life in this realm within a realm, but unfortunately, you couldn't seize it. Every cause has its effect."

"Kill him!"

"Yes!" Mia replied, and the barbed wire tightened, turning Wellin into a pile of minced meat.

"Holy crap, Mia, you!" Gao Sheng almost vomited.

"Master," Mia said in fear.

"Alright, let's go." Gao Sheng waved his hand, put away Wei Lin's spatial ring, and quickly left with Mia.

On the 9th day, Dixi sent an email saying that adventurers had appeared underground, wiped out the team that discovered the robot, and were burrowing away.

Virtual Universe, Jiuxingwan Community.

A screen floated in front of Gao Sheng, and Perot said on it, "Are you still in that realm within a realm?"

"Yes," Gao Sheng replied.

Pero said, "The major powers in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield held a meeting..."

"...In short, an army of nearly 200 million level-nine Hengxing is already being organized. It is expected that they will begin entering the Thunder World within ten days and the Realm within a Realm within eighteen days. Moreover, adventurers who are not from the two holy lands, the four major organizations, and the sixteen families will not be able to leave safely."

Gao Sheng asked, "Clan leader, doesn't our clan also have an army?"

"Of course there is. Ten thousand troops will also enter the Realm Within a Realm at that time to participate in the treasure competition. Therefore, I want you to lead them, but in secret. You cannot be the publicly recognized captain," Pero said.

"Chieftain, among the subordinates I brought in, one has already broken through to the cosmic level." Gao Sheng smiled slightly. "His name is Dixi, and he's a slave I bought."

Gao Sheng directly sent Dixi and Mia's information to the clan chief for registration.

"Cosmic level?" Perot exclaimed with delight. "You mean...?"

"Let Dipsy take command. Don't let the soldiers know I'm here. I'm prepared to act alone."

"Are you sure?" Pero asked in surprise.

Gao Sheng nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Clan Chief. If we are truly fortunate enough to obtain any treasures, how will they be distributed?"

Pero smiled: "This family army was also recruited and distributed by the elders. This one has a few hundred, that one has a few dozen. The harvest of the army will naturally be distributed according to the contribution value. The army also has captains and squad leaders, and the statistics are kept down to the individual... As for your personal income, it is naturally your own."

"Okay." Gao Sheng knew, of course, but he still needed to confirm.

After Pero ended the call, Gao Sheng contacted Luo Feng.

Soon, Luo Feng appeared on the screen.

"...That's the situation. Luo Feng, an adventurer who is not from the two holy lands, the four major organizations, or the sixteen world-leading families, will have all his spatial artifacts inspected once he leaves the Thunder World," Gao Sheng said.

Luo Feng's expression had been grim, but he calmed down after Gao Sheng finished speaking: "Brother Gao Sheng, what do you mean?"

"As you know, the Wei Di family is one of the sixteen main families of the realm. If you are willing, you can temporarily join my family and become my subordinates. I will also be an elder of the Wei Di family. Of course, we are brothers, and you are free to come and go. You can leave at any time if you don't want to be an outer member of the Wei Di family." Gao Sheng smiled. "As for whether you follow the family army, that's up to you."

"Okay, thanks." Luo Feng said gratefully.

Soon after, Gao Sheng received the information about their team of six from Luo Feng and forwarded it to Pero.
