Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Inside the tallest building in Thunder City, in the huge conference hall on the top floor, a large number of powerful figures from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region were gathered. There were nine World Lords and more than forty Domain Lords!

Then, that's it. The weakest beings in this hall are all domain lords.

In fact, there are nearly a hundred domain lords on this Canglan Star right now, not to mention the cosmic level ones, all of them are waiting in the restaurants, bars, manors and castles of all sizes in Thunder City.

If Gao Sheng were to come here, he would recognize at least two people: Ming Yu, the commander of Three Axe Mountain and a two-star mercenary in the universe; and the other, of course, would be Pero Weidi, the patriarch of the Weidi family and also a two-star mercenary in the universe.

These people were all seated in large chairs, some talking to each other, others resting with their eyes closed. But in reality, each of them had a portion of their consciousness connected to the virtual universe, with most continuously monitoring the actions of their respective factions within the realm within the realm. The teams they were watching were also partially connected to the virtual universe, broadcasting what they saw and did directly into it.

Only Pero did not ask Gao Sheng to broadcast the events of the Realm Within a Realm to him. He only occasionally paid attention to the progress of the family army, and would only continue to pay attention when the army entered the Realm Within a Realm.

Suddenly, an old man with a bald head, a hooked nose, and strangely shaped pupils stood up.

"This is outrageous!"

Everyone looked at the old man, and several realm lords asked, "Hargrave, what happened?"

Hargrave is one of the top three realm lords in the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land, and has been recognized by the Law of Water! Moreover, he has a daughter who is the empress of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, making him a truly important figure in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Hmph, there's no one guarding the castle now. One of my squads made a small profit and was preparing to exchange it for treasures when they suddenly disappeared! They must have been ambushed and killed!" Hargrave's strange eyes burned with rage, and the temperature in the entire hall dropped rapidly, with an endless chill emanating from his body.

"Hmm? How many people were in the squad? Do you know who did it?" A burly, bald man with a flame mark between his eyebrows frowned as he asked.

"Ten people vanished without a trace without sending any message! Even a hundred Star-level beings couldn't have done that! There must be a Universe-level being in this Realm within a Realm!"

Others either gloated or frowned.

A female realm lord, clad in golden armor and possessing a voluptuous figure, declared, "I propose that the five major powers of the Realm within a Realm send out contingents to surround the castle. Anyone not from one of the five major powers should be prohibited from entering the castle to exchange for treasures!"

"Yes, An Dong is right."

Immediately, many people in the hall frowned, including Perrault.

"Bullshit! Are you bullying us because our Three Axe Mountain army hasn't arrived yet? Only the five major powers are allowed to exchange? Our Three Axe Mountain also has some small teams in there." The one who spoke was the Three Axe Mountain Realm Lord "Jiang Tianchen", the number one person in Three Axe Mountain, if you don't count the three military lords of Three Axe Mountain who are not in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

"Alright, stop arguing. Here's what I think: people from the two holy lands, the four major organizations, and the sixteen families can all exchange for it, but other free adventurers are prohibited from exchanging for it."

"Then we need to register everyone's information and share the data..."

"I think we should set up a safe zone around that castle, with each major power contributing personnel in proportion to conduct full surveillance. Any fighting or combat should be prohibited within the safe zone; otherwise, no one can exchange for treasures."

"I agree with Bashar's proposal!"

"agree!"

……

After Dixie and Gao Sheng Mia reunited, Gao Sheng told them to continue digging while he went alone in his spaceship to continue exploring and mining for Thunderstone. He said one more person wouldn't make a difference.

Having obtained a rough distribution map, we must explore as many areas as possible before the main force enters.

The area selected by Gao Shengxuan is the furthest from the entrance to the boundary within the boundary. He also explored several marked areas along the way.

First, these areas are the last places the main army will arrive in. Moreover, the five forces will definitely not choose this direction; they will only explore the direction closer to the entrance so that their main army can get to work more quickly once it arrives.

Therefore, we can use the spaceship with peace of mind without worrying about being detected by Brolin's detectors.

Sure enough, within the detection range, there were only a few scattered small teams, and no large teams at all.

Five days later.

Three hundred thousand kilometers away behind the castle, Gao Sheng was still probing on his spaceship. However, the silver spaceship now had two cannons with only a tiny bit of their muzzle showing on the sides where the main weapon positions had previously been empty.

Xiao Ai directly displays a new email on the control screen.

"Huh? Nansi is looking for me?" Gao Sheng immediately connected to the virtual universe.

Virtual universe, Jiuxingwan residential area, Gaosheng's large villa.

As soon as Gao Sheng appeared on the lawn at the entrance, he saw three people in the living room: Sasha, Ina, and Nansi, staring at each other.

Gao Sheng registered Nan Si in this virtual universe property, so there was no need for a remote call. This was also Nan Si's first time visiting this villa directly, and she had only been inside for a short while.

"Young Master, who is she?" Ina asked as Gao Sheng entered.

Gao Sheng slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten about this; he should have let Nan Si familiarize herself with the place first.

"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Sasha, and this is Ina. They are my maids. This is Nansi," Gao Sheng said with a smile.

"Hello, Sasana," Nan Si said with a slight smile.

"Hello, Nansi," Sasana said sweetly.

"Call me 'sister'," Gao Sheng said seriously.

"Hello, Sister Nansi." Sasana quickly changed her address.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk," Gao Sheng called to Nan Si.

Sasana and Sasana were left staring at each other in the living room.

elder sister?

She looks even younger than us. Is she the young master's new maid?

Inside the room, Nan Si respectfully said, "Master, Baihu Tower has already sent out its first group to exchange for the treasures. The route is..."

Gao Sheng did give instructions on this matter, but he thought that apart from Brolin, other teams were unlikely to exchange for it.

Nobody's a fool. The exchange list shows a huge discrepancy between the quantity of Thunderstones and their actual value. The cheaper ones are all low-value. With the limited number of people from those major powers in the Realm Within a Realm, they probably can't gather enough to exchange for good items. They'll likely save the Thunderstones they get first.

I didn't expect Baihulou to redeem it too. It seems that Nansi's "contribution" is indeed significant.

Gao Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Let them exchange it. If they get robbed, won't your contribution be diminished?"

Nan Si breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't disobey her master's orders, but she still had some feelings for Baihulou.

"Also, from now on, don't call me master, just call me young master."

Sasana calls him Young Master, and even Lanluo calls him Elder in public. Only Nansi calls him Master, because Gao Sheng is afraid that she will feel inferior.

As for why Nansi wasn't allowed to be called an elder, it was entirely Gao Sheng's subconscious decision.

Young Master? Nan Si blushed.

Once Gao Sheng introduced them, she naturally knew who Sasha and Ina were—maids, the kind who served closely. Whether they were slaves, she didn't know.
