Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Within a boundary, there is a vast lake 80,000 kilometers from the central castle. In the lake, a silver spaceship floats silently, standing tall and straight, with Mia and Nansi on either side.

Suddenly the sky above the lake darkened, and a red, saucer-shaped spaceship appeared, quickly disappearing into the depths of the lake.

With a whoosh, the hatch opened, and Dixie appeared, quickly putting away the spaceship and bowing respectfully: "Master!"

"You've worked hard. How much did you gain?" Gao Sheng smiled.

"Reporting to the master, a total of over 1782 million cosmic crystals have been obtained." Dixi's eyes were full of excitement.

Nan Si covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Omg.

Another spaceship. Collect the spaceship's spatial ring. A cosmic-level slave. 1782 million cubic cosmic crystals? How much is that?

The master is amazing! Everything made her feel like she was dreaming.

1782 million cubic meters? That's barely comparable to the cheapest treasure in that castle, the Gao Sheng Secret Passage. Dixi is ruthless; he probably took one or two tenths of the area surrounding the castle.

Although the 800 robots were powerful, Dipsy probably dug for seven or eight days without sleep. He alone was equivalent to a hundred robots.

It's true that having a goal is what motivates you.

"Come on, everyone, get on the boat."

Next, Gao Sheng flew aimlessly through the inner world, without discovering the fourth distribution area.

"We've already explored three large areas, that's about enough. No matter how much we explore, it's useless if we don't have enough mining capacity." Gao Sheng pondered to himself on the spaceship.

The spaceship landed, and Gao Sheng waved his hand: "Get down, go dig for cosmic crystals!"

Naturally, more cosmic crystals have been discovered in this area. Although they are not densely packed, there are still quite a few if you dig according to the map. We need to find something for everyone to do. Besides, even a small mosquito bite is still meat.

Gao Sheng definitely can't dig for Thunderstone now. That Lord Kabu must have a detector, maybe it's in that castle. Who knows how far the detection range is? There's a kind of detector that only pursues range, it wouldn't be difficult to cover the entire realm within a realm.

After digging for several days with three others, harvesting hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of cosmic crystals, on the 15th day after entering the realm within a realm, Gao Sheng received a message from Luo Feng that their team had safely approached the outer perimeter of the castle without any damage.

"Oh? I'm almost there too. Which direction are you from? I'm coming over," Gao Sheng said.

"good!"

The stealth spaceship flew towards the castle, continuing until it was only a few thousand kilometers away, at which point the Gaosheng team retracted the spaceship and began flying on its own.

The same three came in, but Nan Si wasn't there; she was abandoned halfway through.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ai detected Luo Feng's team, and soon Babata also spotted Gao Sheng. Actually, they didn't need to detect him; the area outside the castle was a plain stretching for thousands of kilometers, so they had already seen him.

"Promotion!" Luo Feng waved.

"Come on, come on." Gao Sheng laughed heartily.

"Meng B, you actually broke through!" Of course, they had discovered it long ago.

"Haha, luck, luck," Gao Sheng laughed.

"Hello Mr. Luo, hello Mr. Hong, hello Mr. Lei." Disimia bowed.

Gao Sheng said, "They're not calling themselves Meng A or Meng B anymore."

"My name is Dipsy."

"My name is Mia."

The two bowed again.

"Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, it's so good to see you're all safe and sound!" Gao Sheng smiled broadly. "Let's go, let's go together."

"Great!" Luo Feng and his two companions were also very happy. There's strength in numbers, after all. They'd encountered several ambushes in the past few days, and had been quite disorganized. If it weren't for Babata's vigilance, they would have been wiped out by the larger group long ago. Now, not only is there strength in numbers, but they also have a cosmic-level expert!

Gao Sheng smiled and looked at the three of them: "You all seem so happy, did you have a good time?"

"Haha, not much, just over a hundred thousand cubic meters," Thor laughed. There was no need to hide anything from Gao Sheng; he didn't care about such a small amount anyway.

"Not bad, not bad, I only have a little more than you guys," Gao Sheng said with a smile.

After flying for more than two hours.

"Master, there's a sound ahead, someone is calling out," Dixie transmitted.

"Oh, let's go take a look."

The team arrived at the top of a small hill and, using some optical equipment, carefully observed a large group of people hundreds of kilometers away.

Gao Sheng said, "It seems to be a force assembled by the five major powers. Let's get closer and take a look."

"Master, those people are recruiting free adventurers," Dixi heard the loud shouts from the other side.

"Oh?"

As they got closer, at a distance of over 400 kilometers, Gao Sheng and his group also heard it.

"Adventurers! The treasures of the Realm Within a Realm are destined to be obtained by our Black Dragon Mountain Starfield."

"Therefore, the major organizations and forces had already agreed that if an adventurer was not from one of the two holy lands, four major organizations, or sixteen world-master families, they would be immediately arrested and searched once they left the Thunder World."

"No matter how many cosmic crystals you obtain, or even some special treasures, it's useless! Unless you're from one of our two holy lands, four major organizations, or sixteen families, you'll all be arrested. You've wasted your time!"

"And now, you have an opportunity."

"As long as you join our Northern Dragon City and temporarily become external members, we, the Northern Dragon City, guarantee with our honor that when you leave the Thunder World and return to Canglan Star, you will be protected by our Northern Dragon City. You will not be arrested! As for the cosmic crystals you obtained before, no one will plunder them. All you need to do is join us! Help our Northern Dragon City obtain the treasure!"

"As long as you join our Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land, even just temporarily, you will have no safety concerns!"

"No one will steal the cosmic crystals you've obtained. All you need to do is obey the orders of my Black Cloud Society. As long as you join us and help us seize the treasure, your contributions will be calculated and you will be rewarded when we leave!"

A series of powerful, universally understood phrases spread across the vast plains.

"What should we do?" Hong asked Luo Feng.

"Didn't you say that the two holy lands, four organizations, and sixteen families of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region are all acceptable? We are now considered members of the Wei Di family," Luo Feng said, looking at Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng, resting his chin on his hand, said, "That only means that people from these organizations won't be searched or robbed when they go out. But inside, the competition for treasures depends on individual abilities. Right now, it seems that these five forces have the upper hand. No one who isn't one of them can get close to this castle. The flags of the Three Axe Mountain and the Sixteen Realm Lord Families aren't very effective."

"Unless we leave directly and wait for your family army in the Thunder World or the edge of the Realm Within a Realm," Hong nodded.

"Just join any team. We can leave anytime we want with these temporary ones," Gao Sheng said.

"How about we go ask He Ruo?" Luo Feng suggested.

"Okay, I'll also ask about your family situation."

Gao Sheng connected to the virtual universe and went to find the clan leader again.

"Promotion? Where are you now?" Pero asked with concern on the screen.

"I'm not far from the core area now, but that area is blocked by the two holy lands and three major forces, so I can't get close," Gao Sheng said. "They are also trying to recruit free adventurers."

Pero was also helpless. "Right now, Three Axe Mountain and our Sixteen Realm Lord Families really can't participate in the competition. However, getting it first doesn't necessarily mean it will be useful. The final ownership of the treasure will depend on the final army. The armies of all forces are already on their way and are estimated to enter the Thunder World in three or four days. The vanguard will enter the Realm Within a Realm in about ten days. You'd better leave now and return to the edge to wait for your family's army."

"Where is our main force?" Gao Sheng asked.

"Same here, ours isn't slow either," Perrault said.

Back in reality, Luo Feng was looking at Gao Sheng.

"How so?" Gao Sheng asked.

Luo Feng said, "I've contacted He Ruo. How about we temporarily join North Dragon City? We can watch the excitement."

"Alright."
