Chapter 152 - 151: Joining the Virtual Universe Company!



“Have you heard? Pang Shui is dead!”

“Pang Shui? The Outer Gate Disciple who joined the Cosmic Colosseum?”

“That’s him. Apparently, he was visiting his hometown recently when his soul lamp was extinguished!”

“What? But isn’t his hometown in the eighth star sector? Who in the countryside could have managed to kill him?!”

“Who knows? My guess is Pang Shui was just a fame-seeker, bragging about his so-called Stellar Level comprehension of the Domain. That was probably all self-promotion!”

Du Gang unintentionally overheard this news when passing by a tavern in the virtual universe.

“Tell me, what is an Outer Gate Disciple of the Cosmic Colosseum?”

He had the feeling that the Pang Shui these people were discussing closely resembled the Stellar Level powerhouse he had recently killed.

After quickly gathering information, Barala spoke: “The Pang Shui they’re discussing, an Outer Gate Disciple of the Cosmic Colosseum, is indeed from the Milky Way Empire…”

“Generally, wherever the Virtual Universe Company sets up a branch, the other three major forces will follow….”

“In our Milky Way Galaxy, there isn’t just one Universe Level like Zhou

Haotian, but also four Universe Level beings sent by the four great powers…..”

Indeed, in such a big business, not having such powerful people to safeguard the interests would be too much trouble. Otherwise, every now and then there would be misappropriation which would be very annoying.

“An Outer Gate Disciple of the four great powers generally refers to remarkable talents recruited by local power groups…..”

“Our Milky Way Galaxy’s four corporations’ branches generally recruit Outer Gate Disciples and registered Disciples…”

“Registered Disciples refer to those with strong aptitude but lacking the strength to reach the Stellar Level…”

“Outer Gate Disciples, on the other hand, are those who have both a strong talent and have reached the Stellar Level…”

Du Gang asked, frowning, “How many Outer Gate Disciples has the Cosmic

Colosseum recruited in the Milky Way Galaxy?”

“They usually send a batch of disciples back every hundred years. But this time, with the Cosmic Peak Talents Competition coming up, about two batches of Outer Gate Disciples remained here, totaling more than a hundred people!”

“Their standards for recruiting Outer Gate Disciples are that individuals must be under ten thousand years old with Stellar Level power and comprehension of the Laws!”

“Like Pang Shui, there are only three people in the Cosmic Colosseum who have

Stellar Level cultivation and have comprehended a Domain!”

Du Gang’s lips twitched slightly. Was he that lucky to just happen upon one of them?

“Do you think people from the Cosmic Colosseum could cause trouble for us?

Barala shook his head, “It depends on the circumstances. If someone is ambushed and killed, regardless of who the perpetrator is, they will be hunted to the end…”

“But if someone is killed in a fair fight, that just shows the victim was less skilled. Such powers generally do not pursue revenge. But, usually, when people reveal themselves, nobody dares to kill a disciple of the four great powers…”

Du Gang stroked his chin, “So, even if they were to investigate, it wouldn’t affect me…”

“Not necessarily!”

Barala shook his head, “Although the rules of the Cosmic Colosseum are like this, it doesn’t mean the local branch will remain indifferent!”

“According to investigations, Pang Shui had outstanding talent and was highly regarded by Ou Yun, a Universe Level powerhouse stationed in the Milky Way Galaxy. He invested quite a bit of resources in him early on…”

“Only investment? He didn’t take him as a disciple?”

Barala laughed, “Take as a disciple? These Universe level folks do not have the qualifications. Usually, those recruited by the four great corporations cannot be taken as disciples by anyone below Eternal Level within ten thousand years….”

“Think about it: a potential future Eternal Level powerhouse being snapped up by a Universe Level guy would be detrimental.”

“Under such circumstances, the four great powers generally prohibits this from happening. Investment is permissible, taking as a disciple is not. They want to take a disciple? Let’s wait until they reach the Eternal Level!”

Du Gang understood and asked, “So, is it possible that the Universe Level powerhouse Ou Yun will kill me out of frustration?

“Exactly!”

This left him speechless.

He hasn’t even reached the core territory of the Milky Way Empire, yet he already has two Universe Level beings after his life. Keep in mind, there are only five Universe Level powerhouses in the whole Milky Way Galaxy!

“This won’t do, I need to quickly advance to Stellar Level!”

Du Gang felt a bit helpless. He was currently at Planet Level; he might stand a chance against a Stellar Level individual, but against a Universe Level one, he probably wouldn ‘t win.

Remember, when Du Kang was at Stellar Level, he was killed by Universe Level

Zhou Haotian. Even though Zhou played dirty, the fact that he could block the Sky-breaking Strike from Ancient God showed that Zhou Haotian’s strength was not weak.

“Barala, help me calculate how much resources I need to rise to Stellar Level, where the nearest ruins are, and approximately how much they contain…” Now, for the first time, he felt a sense of urgency.

After Barala made some calculations, he said, “Ordinary people with enough talent can breakthrough from the Ninth Rank of Planet Level to Rank One of Stellar Level with just one Stellar Crystal. But you, as an Ancient God, will need at least ten thousand!”

“Given your current physical condition, it’s impossible to search for Stellar Crystals in the stars, so we can only obtain them from ruins…”

“We currently have about a hundred Stellar Crystals. The other Source Crystals combined with our pile of materials are equivalent to about three hundred Stellar Crystals…”

Du Gang questioned, “Didn’t the waiter not say that the exchange rate between

Stellar Crystals and Source Crystals was one to a hundred?”

Barala replied helplessly, “That was their buying price. They were just saying whatever because they saw you were from the countryside. Normally, one

Stellar Crystal is equivalent to ten thousand Source Crystals!”

“Got it. I still need over nine thousand seven hundred Stellar Crystals!”

“So, you mean I need over nine thousand seven hundred billion Galaxy Coins?”

Barala shook his head, “No, it would be even more than that. Normally, nobody would exchange Source Crystals for Galaxy Coins. Source Crystals and Stellar Crystals are usually used for cultivation, or for exchanging with others for some rare treasure. So if you want to buy with money, you will definitely have to pay much more…”

The need for more than nine thousand billion Galaxy Coins gave Du Gang a headache. With so many resources, you could raise ten thousand Stellar Level powerhouses. But all of these resources still wouldn’t be enough for him to advance from Planet Level to Stellar Level!

“The nearest ruin will be active in about a year. Judging from the energy, it has resources approximately worth five hundred Stellar Crystals…”

“That’s it?” Du Gang felt surprised. He had thought these ruins would be amazing, but it turned out…

Barala shook his head, “That’s not a small amount. A ruin with five hundred Stellar Crystals, you need to realize that this many resources is enough for five hundred people to advance to the Stellar Level!”

“Even for you, if you wait ten or twenty thousand years, it should be enough to gather ten thousand Stellar Crystals…”

“Ten or twenty thousand years…”

The expression on Du Gang’s face went slack. Not including the time spent in his Life Space, he was only seventeen years old. Even taking into account time in his Life Space, he was only in his sixties. Ten thousand years was such a long time for him!

He shook his head, “No, that’s too long, I need to think of other ways…” Trading? Forget it, it’s not my thing!

Or should I rob those kingdoms in the suburbs? That doesn’t seem right…

Furthermore, those places probably don’t have many useful resources, and their currency would not be accepted by the Milky Way Empire.

After thinking it over, he dismissed the idea. “Is there really no other way to make money…”

Suddenly, he thought of the Killing Field.

The preliminary Killing Field, one admission ticket costs one hundred White Dragon Coins, winning a game earns fifty White Dragon Coins.

Two wins would equate to one hundred White Dragon Coins, two hundred wins would be ten thousand White Dragon Coins, which would be equivalent to one billion Galaxy Coins, almost enough to buy a Stellar Crystal.

“Winning two hundred games to earn a Stellar Crystal, does that mean if I win two million games in the preliminary Killing Field, I could earn ten thousand Stellar Crystals?”

Du Gang suddenly became excited, with Sky-breaking Strike, who could defeat him at the Stellar Level?

The Sky-breaking Strike could even take down Pang Shui, who possessed a Domain.

“Wait, I cannot use the giant form, if I do, wouldn’t I be announcing to Zhou Haotian and that Ou Yun my arrival?”

After careful consideration, Du Gang decided to venture to the preliminary Killing Field to earn money. However, he would not use his giant form, just a normal human form to fight.

The eighth star region.

A spaceship was leading while three others followed, moving back and forth in areas like the Hidden Dragon Kingdom and the Immortal Turtle Kingdom.

As they were about to reach a duchy’s star system in the Hidden Dragon Kingdom, the lead spaceship came to a halt.

“The three of you are crossing the line, what do you mean by following me after the death of my extern disciple from Cosmic Colosseum?”

The person speaking was Ou Yun, the division chief of the Cosmic Colosseum’s Milky Way Galaxy division who had a high regard for Pang Shui. Three men descended from the other three spaceships, all looking smug.

“Ou Yun, think about it, the extern didn’t stop you from investigating, we’re just here to look around, this eighth star region is not the territory of your Colosseum…”

The man leading the conversation was dressed in the attire of the virtual universe corporation. However, judging from his manner of speaking with Ou Yun, he was clearly also a universe-level powerhouse.

“Fan An, are you deliberately antagonizing me?” Ou Yun’s face was as cold as ice, turning as black as charcoal.

Fan An smirked, “You put it wrong, have I obstructed you in any way? Besides, I’m not the only one here, why didn’t you say they’re also causing you trouble?!”

Ou Yun glanced at the other two universe-level powerhouses representing the Milky Way Galaxy companies, returned angrily to his spaceship, and continued his journey toward a duchy’s star system in the Hidden Dragon Kingdom.

After he left, Fan An and the other two conversed telepathically as they followed along.

“We agreed beforehand, if we find a talented individual, let him choose according to his own capabilities!”

“Hehe, naturally!”

The reason they followed Ou Yun was they had received news of Pang Shui’s death too.

Pang Shui, a Stellar Level expert who’d comprehended the Domain; his talent was quite exceptional in such a remote place. If he were sent up, Ou Yun might earn considerable merits.

Such a genius should have been able to battle even the ninth-rank Stellar Level powerhouses, but he died in the eighth star region!

This indicated either the presence of a terrifying and invaluable relic or the emergence of an even more impressive genius.

Compared to a terrifying invaluable relic, they were more inclined to believe in the emergence of a genius.

That was why they had followed Ou Yun to see who had killed Pang Shui.

If they demonstrated exceptional aptitude, they would definitely make a move to recruit them.

After all, once they stationed here, they could reap quite a reward for selecting excellent talents for the higher-ups.

Furthermore, if they had a good relationship with the genius, they may receive assistance in the future once the genius achieved success.

Therefore, this kind of remote station was both tough and advantageous!

If luck was bad, it was tough; if luck was good and they encountered a once-in-a-thousand-year genius, it would be advantageous, with great advancement to expect!

Soon, the four spaceships entered the territory of a duke in the Hidden Dragon Kingdom.

They stayed for half an hour and then disappeared, heading towards the ninth star region.

An hour later, they reappeared in the star region where the Hong family of Hidden Dragon Kingdom was located.

“They must have fought here!”

In contrast to Ou Yun, who was grimly continuing on his journey, Fan An and the others began conversing in a relaxed and jovial manner.

They had learned the specifics about this place by following Ou Yun.

They knew that a seventeen-year-old guy had killed Pang Shui.

Currently, all three of them felt like they had found a treasure and couldn’t wait to meet this guy named Du Gang.

“It’s rare for a genius to emerge from the ninth star region!”

“I heard that it is the heritage of an entity called Ancient God that emerges only once in a hundred thousand years…”

“Yes, it seems there’s still a bounty on that Zhou Haotian!”

They weren’t stationed here a hundred thousand years ago and didn’t know much about Ancient God. They simply considered Ancient God a rare race or an entity with extraordinary talent.

“No matter what the heritage is, to kill one’s way from the ninth star region and even slay Pang Shui, such a genius is extraordinary!”

The three were actually not in a hurry because eventually, they would come into contact with him. The only route to rise in the Milky Way was through one of the four major companies.

Ahead of them, Ou Yun listened to them converse and felt bitter.

Clearly, this guy named Du Gang was a being with talent much more terrifying than Pang Shui.

As per norms, he should immediately ignore his previous grudges, court Du Gang, and invest heavily in him in anticipation of future returns.

But the problem is, Pang Shui was the one he favored and funded the most, and he also sponsored the others as well.

If he were to welcome the person who murdered Pang Shui, others’ feelings toward him would gradually fade.

They would think that Ou Yun only invested in them for his own benefit, and the returns wouldn’t be maximized.

Therefore, he is also quite torn right now.

There are two choices, one is to accept Du Gang, which would discourage the others.

The other is to show enmity towards Du Gang, pretend to make a stand, letting others know his stance, and then seize the opportunity to gain their trust.

The four men had scrutinized the previous battlefield.

“Pang Shui must have used his Domain!”

“Yes, before this, he had used the Law of Light and Darkness to hide himself…”

“It seems that he took advantage of the time when Du Gang’s fight with the dragon ended and ambushed him…’

“Yes, after the ambush didn’t succeed, he exerted his Domain, but as a result, he got killed by counter-attack!”

“This Du Gang, I wonder what his abilities are, that he was able to counter-attack on such desperate grounds!”

“Yes, I can’t wait to meet this seventeen-year-old genius!”

Listening to the conversation of the three men, Ou Yun felt increasingly upset.

Without observing any more, he directly boarded the spaceship and leapt towards the Star of Talent.

According to the investigation, Du Gang did not return to the Ninth Star Region, nor was he in the Eighth Star Region. It is highly likely that he moved to the Third Star Region. Given his strength, it makes no sense for him to stay in the suburbs.

Therefore, investigating on the Star of Talent is the best outcome!

As soon as Ou Yun appeared on the Star of Talent, Fan An and the other two followed him through the spatial nodes.

“Can’t you stop following me?”

Ou Yun was completely annoyed by these three individuals.

Fan An chuckled: “Yo, the Cosmic Colosseum is being ambitious, wanting to oppose our three houses!”

Ou Yun glanced at him, didn’t say anything, collected his spaceship, and directly descended towards the ground without even taking a flying vehicle.

The personnel at the satellite base had already committed to memory the faces of the five most powerful individuals in the entire Milky Way Galaxy and not only did they not obstruct their way in, they ended up broadcasting it through the internal network of Star of Talent.

As a result. as soon as Ou Yun and his group touched down, they were met with

a group of influential leaders from the Star of Talent, paying their respects and welcoming them.

Ou Yun and the others did not dismiss these people.

After all, having these people around would make their work proceed faster.

After all, not everyone could recognize the four of them.

If they encountered an obstinate youth who was confrontational, and they ended up killing the wrong person and losing face, it would be unbearable.

“I want a list of those who arrived on Star of Talent for the first time today, Stellar Level!”

Soon, the authority responsible for registering this information quickly began arranging people and looking through the records.

In a while, someone had brought over the list of people who had registered their arrival on Star of Talent for the first time.

“Sir, here is today’s list, a total of three hundred and fifty people, all are of Stellar Level!”

Quickly, Ou Yun started reading the list, upon seeing this the other three immediately huddled over.

Under the scrutiny of the four men, they went through the entire list.

“Not here?”

The four men were stunned, “Didn’t he come to Star of Talent?”

At this moment, Fan An thought of something and quickly said: “Bring out the list of those at the Planet Level too! ”

Upon hearing this, the other three suddenly laughed.

“Stop joking around, a Planet Level defeating a Stellar Level who understood the domain? What kind of joke is that?!!”

Even Ou Yun laughed, if a Planet Level guy was the one who killed Pang Shui, then he would take it!

In this way, with the other three in shock, Fan An really found the information of Du Gang.

“This guys, he really is at Planet Level!”

Seeing the familiar face in the photo, the four men looked at each other!

“Could it be that he is Stellar Level but only registered as Planet Level when he checked in?”

“Impossible, this is automatically scanned by the device, how could he arbitrarily register his level

“A Planet Level, such an existence, how much benefit do you think he can bring

Once this statement came out, all four men simultaneously realized and hurriedly said: “Quick, quick, quick, start the search, pull up the global surveillance, check the global check-in and check-out situation!”

The local leaders of Star of Talent, seeing their attitude, quickly got into action.

In no time, Du Gang’s whereabouts were found.

“He’s temporarily residing in this villa area, he used Source Crystals for the payment…”

Before the crowd could explain, the four of them immediately headed for the villa where Du Gang was residing.

The other Stellar Level leaders all followed, simultaneously wondering who this Planet Level person they were searching for was.

He was worthy of being treated like this by the four Cosmic Level powerhouses from the four major corporations!

“Du Gang, it’s not good, someone’s investigating your information, they’re at your door!”

Just as Du Gang was preparing to go to the Cosmic Bank to exchange for a hundred White Dragon Coins, Bala suddenly shouted in anxiety.

“What?!”

Seeing this, Du Gang quickly stood up and ran towards the exit without pause. Without uttering a word, he directly flew into the sky and swiftly left.

“It’s him!”

Suddenly, a voice from afar echoed. Du Gang turned his head to see a large group of people running towards this direction.

From the pressure exerted by them, he could feel that the weakest ones were of the Stellar Level, and he could not see through four of them at all.

Damn it!

His speed increased again, employing the first transformation of the Skyward Nine Transformations in an instant.

“Swoosh! He shot up into the air, like an E-class spaceship, instantly breaking through the atmosphere and flying into outer space!”

Just as he reached the sky, he quickly took out the Ancient God token and prepared to call on the shuttle for immediate transport, but a man suddenly appeared before him.

“Don’t be startled, I’m not here to kill you!”

Du Gang was taken aback for a moment, nearly transforming to attack him. However, seeing the man’s friendly demeanor, he restrained himself.

“I am Fan An, a cosmic level strongman stationed in the Milky Way by the

Virtual Universe Company…”

Fan An didn’t beat around the bush and directly revealed his strength.

As expected, Du Gang halted upon hearing this. A person of such caliber had no need to deceive him.

Before he could respond, the people from the interior of the planet flew up. At this moment, the look on Ou Yun and the other two faces was full of surprise when they saw Du Gang.

Du Gang’s speed had already reached that of a cosmic level powerhouse.

The three of them were caught off guard and were half a second slower. Just this half a second allowed Fan An to take the initiative.

Soon, the other three people quickly introduced themselves.

When he heard the name Ou Yun, Du Gang felt a little movement in his heart, but he remained silent.

After their introductions, Fan An was the first to speak: “On behalf of the Virtual Universe Company, I invite you to become a registered disciple of our company!”

As soon as he finished his introduction, the other three people successively extended their invitations.

“On behalf of the Cosmic Colosseum, I invite you to become a registered disciple of our company!”

“On behalf of the Cosmic Bank, I invite you to become a registered disciple of our company!”

“On behalf of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, I invite you to become a registered disciple of our alliance!”

All four of them extended the invitation to become a registered disciple at the first opportunity.

Du Gang was stunned. When had he become so sought after?

Four people vying for him? Besides, wasn’t Ou Yun supposed to be seeking revenge on him?

At this moment, the representative of the Mercenary Alliance spoke, “Du Gang, as long as you join our alliance, I promise to provide you with resources to cultivate to the Stellar Level…

“Our Cosmic Bank can also…”

The other three forces quickly followed suit, promising a great deal.

Du Gang hesitated for a moment and asked, “What if I need a large amount of energy to break through from the Planet Level to the Stellar Level?”

“Don’t worry, no matter how much, our company will support you…”

Du Gang shook his head, saying, “No, I want to know a specific number. I don’t believe there is no limit to the cultivation of registered disciples. Can vou tell me the maximum amount you can provide?”

He knew that these people must have assumed he was a regular Planet Level cultivator, so they dared to make the outrageous promise of covering all resources necessary to reach the Stellar Level.

Impossible. The resources needed for cultivating him would be enough to cultivate ten thousand Stellar Level cultivators. What power could afford this?

Upon hearing this, the four quickly reported the approximate quotas of their respective companies.

As Du Gang had expected, the figures they reported ranged from three to five Stellar Crystals, nowhere near sufficient for his cultivation.

What surprised him was that it was the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance that offered the most resources, while the most potent force, the Virtual Universe Company, offered the least.

“Don’t worry, once you break through to the Stellar Level, there will be new quotas… ”

The four of them, worried that he would think the resources insufficient, went over some of the future benefits for Stellar Level and beyond. At this moment, Ou Yun suddenly sent a telepathic message to Du Gang.

“Du Gang, my name is Ou Yun, you must know Pang Shui is someone I value highly since you saw us escaping…”

“As long as you join our Cosmic Colosseum, we can forget about Pang Shui’s matter. Moreover, I will personally provide you with some resources…”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang answered telepathically, “And what if I don’t join?”

Upon hearing Du Gang’s words, Ou Yun did not hesitate to threaten, “If you don’t join, I hear that Zhou Haotian has a grudge against those who received your inheritance. I might tell him your whereabouts and seek justice for Pang Shui… ”

After hearing this, Du Gang did not reply to him, instead, he telepathically communicated with Fan An.

“If I join the Virtual Universe Company, can you ensure my safety?” Fan An was taken aback, inquiring, “What do you mean?”

“Firstly, Zhou Haotian wants me dead for killing his father and I surely want to kill him too!”

“Secondly, just now Ou Yun threatened me. He said if I do not join their company, he would cause me trouble. If you can guarantee my safety against these two, I will join the Virtual Universe Company!”

Du Gang didn’t need to think twice. He immediately ruled out the Cosmic Colosseum because Du Kang displayed hatred towards the Colosseum and there was a possibility that the Ancient God held a grudge against it. He could not possibly join them.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he be a lamb to the slaughter?

The other two companies weren’t as capable as the Colosseum, so naturally, he wasn’t fascinated by them. Besides, Fan An from the Virtual Universe Company, the person who just stopped him and the strongest person present, was the only one he asked.

Upon hearing Du Gang’s question, Fan An suddenly laughed, “Don’t worry. Once you join the Virtual Universe Company, no one dares to touch you. If they want to kill you, I will protect you!”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang finally smiled and announced, “I have made up my mind, I will join the Virtual Universe Company!”

Truth be told, he was not interested in the resources others were offering, but since these people had sought him out, he needed to have a backing.. Naturally, the stronger the backing, the better!
