Chapter 516: Star Civilization and an Acquaintance
Just then, the private room's door opened gently, and Fang Xing walked in, "Long time no see, you two!"
"It hasn't been that long."
Beta glanced at the obviously tense old butler and smiled, "Congratulations, Mr. Fang Xing, for killing the Blood Essence Mountain Lord..."
"It was just a casual effort."
Fang Xing sat down opposite Beta, a hint of worry appearing on his face, "Now that I'm being hunted by the entire Blood Prison Civilization, it's not easy for me..."
The old butler seemed to want to say something but forcibly held it in, only muttering to himself:
'You're in a difficult situation? The Blood Prison Civilization is facing an even more challenging situation... With the Sixth Stage Lawmaster Divine Emperor leaving, and now this major incident... It's not that you're afraid of them, but they're afraid of you, right?'
'Although they are extremely reluctant to provoke a master of the Third Stage Lawmaster, the Blood Essence Mountain Lord died at the hands of the enemy. If they don't even put up a show... Then the entire civilization might fall apart.'
But at the very least, the old butler could be sure that before the Blood Prison Emperor returned, the Blood Prison Civilization would definitely not take any real action against Fang Xing.
Even if Fang Xing were to boldly tour the Blood Prison Civilization at this moment, they might even pretend it didn't happen...
"So, does Mr. Fang Xing want to join the Star Civilization?"
A smile appeared on Beta's face, "As long as they are human powerhouses, the Star Civilization is willing to accept them. I'm willing to vouch for Mr. Fang Xing... I believe the review will be quick, even the wanted notice from the Blood Prison Civilization won't affect the judgment of the Star Civilization."
"No!"
Fang Xing shook his head, "The Blood Prison Civilization is after Fang Yun, what does it have to do with me, Fang Xing?"
Beta almost spat out his drink, then nodded, "If it were Mr. Fang Xing, then indeed, his background is clean, with no criminal record... The review will be faster, even the wanted notice from the Blood Prison Civilization won't influence the judgment of the Star Civilization."
At the same time, he finally gained a clear understanding of the thick-skinned nature of powerhouses.
Regarding joining the Star Civilization, Fang Xing had already hinted at it during their previous conversation.
Later, when exchanging intelligence, he expressed his willingness, and now it was a natural development.
Furthermore, under the pressure of the Blood Prison Emperor and the allure of the Apex Civilization, it was reasonable for a wandering powerhouse to join the Star Civilization.
As long as he joined the Star Civilization, even if the Blood Prison Emperor broke through and returned as a Fourteenth Realm Eternal Realm Dao Master, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Fang Xing.
"Cough... Mr. Fang Xing, this is the 'Void Stone'. After refining it, you can enter the 'Void Universe' of our Star Civilization. I've already submitted the proof, and a representative from the Star Civilization will come to assist Mr. Fang Xing) soon."
Beta coughed a few times, signaling the old butler to bring out a blue gemstone, "This 'Void Stone' is of a very high grade. In most human civilizations, it can provide smooth internet access without lag. Moreover, within the 'Void Universe', it can showcase the power of a Peak Dao Master, making it an excellent cultivation ground where one need not fear injury..."
"Thank you."
Fang Xing took the blue gemstone, his mind stirring.
'Can the virtual universe simulate the power of a Peak Dao Master? It seems that behind the Apex Civilization, there is indeed a Fifteenth Realm Eternal Realm existence...'
...
"Void Stone... What's its relation to the Void Illusion Realm of the Green Origin Great World?"
After leaving, Fang Xing casually found an uninhabited planet and sat in meditation at the center of a storm.
Then, he followed the refined 'Void Stone' and entered a virtual space.
A gushing sound of water filled the air.
In the originally dim space, a ray of light appeared first.
Then, layer upon layer of water solidified, stacking up like building blocks to form a silver-white room.
"Honorable Lawmaster Fang Xing, welcome to the Void Universe."
A voice spoke, "I am your dedicated AI, you can call me 'Lulu'..."
Fang Xing looked down, seeing a large sphere entirely formed from water droplets, and couldn't help but feel speechless, "AI... You're not a person?"
"Yes, I am a real person. In the Void Universe, using AI brain assistance is a symbol of poverty... True powerhouses and the wealthy employ a large number of real people and would never use AI robots..."
The large water droplet showed a smiling face, "I hope my service satisfies you, of course, you can replace me at any time."
"Forget it, it'll be you."
Fang Xing nodded, and with a thought, a set of sofa and chairs materialized.
He sat on the sofa and continued listening.
Lulu's voice was smooth, "Honorable Lawmaster Fang Xing, your citizenship application has been submitted to the Star Civilization Immigration Bureau. With the special channel and the guarantee of Beta Skye, it has been approved... Congratulations, you have become a prestigious High-Level Citizen of the Star Civilization."
"High-Level Citizen?"
Fang Xing furrowed his brows.
"Yes, our Star Civilization's citizenship system is based on a points system. Every citizen must contribute to the civilization. Most people remain Elementary Citizens throughout their lives, and only a few will advance to the Intermediate Citizen level... As for you, Mr. Fang Xing, being a Lawmaster Realm powerhouse, your joining the Star Civilization is already considered a 'contribution'. After the calculation, you've automatically been promoted to a High-Level Citizen..."
Lulu answered.
'As expected, those with strength can thrive anywhere...'
Fang Xing muttered to himself and then asked, "Then... what about my rights and obligations?"
With rights come obligations.
However, most of the time, rights come before obligations.
Lulu spoke up, "As a Lawmaster Realm cultivator, Mr. Fang Xing, you have gained the qualification to enter the 'Stellar Trial Grounds' and the 'Stellar Rankings' are also open to you... In our Star Civilization, all Lawmaster Realm powerhouses are listed on the Stellar Rankings, and you can freely spar and exchange insights with them..."
Fang Xing's eyes lit up.
Environment is crucial at all times.
For a Lawmaster Realm cultivator to progress, sparring with peers and the collision of inspirations are incredibly rare resources! Especially in this virtual universe where one cannot be injured!
"Secondly, the Star Civilization will provide you with a 'Source Liquid' every hundred years!"
The error-free version is available at 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_ba.
Lulu's tone carried a hint of envy.
Fang Xing knew that the Source Liquid was a higher form of Source Energy condensation, and the amount from a single source was probably even more than what he had gathered to assist his promotion previously! And this was just the 'minimum welfare' provided once every hundred years!
"The Star Civilization is indeed wealthy and powerful."
"You have gained access to the Stellar Mall, where you can purchase any item, including starships, treasures, and inheritances..."
"In the Stellar Mall, Source Energy Coins are primarily used for transactions, and for higher-level trades, 'Source Liquid' is required..."
Lulu introduced the Stellar Mall to Fang Xing and continued, "Lastly... As a Lawmaster Realm cultivator, you have been granted a fief, which has now been finalized. Your territory includes the Ophiuchus Civilization, comprising ten star systems with over ten thousand life-bearing planets. You are free to establish laws and collect taxes as you see fit, as long as they do not conflict with the Star Civilization's constitution."
"I have already sent you the relevant information."
...
Waving his hand for Lulu to leave, Fang Xing browsed through the Stellar Rankings and the Stellar Mall, marveling at the powerhouses and items listed: "Indeed... Joining a major power is so refreshing. At the very least, the various welfare benefits are quite impressive."
In comparison, a fief of ten star systems was like child's play.
It provided some Source Energy Coins and an endless stream of population resources.
As he casually scanned through, Fang Xing suddenly exclaimed, "This star map... It looks familiar..."
The night sky appears entirely different from different planets.
At this moment, Fang Xing looked at a certain part of his territory and felt a sense of familiarity.
Soon, he began searching, and a more detailed file appeared before him: "Daxia Star... Powerhouses: Li Hua, Lin Qianzhu, Si Huannian, Hamilton..."
"It seems... this is the one I've been looking for."
Fang Xing's face showed a strange expression: "But I haven't paid much attention to it, and it has already come into my possession?"
There were two possibilities. One, the Star Civilization knew that the Sea Clan's Fang Yun had searched for this planet, so they found it and specifically designated it as Fang Xing's territory.
However, this possibility was slim. Firstly, as an Apex Civilization, they wouldn't need to curry favor with a Lawmaster Realm cultivator.
Moreover, Qui Lan, the heir of Yuanmeng Palace, might not betray him.
The second possibility was cause and effect, destiny!
'Although I didn't make a vow of cause and effect, I did gain the favor of the Gray Cloak Marquis and then killed the Blood Mountain Lord, fulfilling the vow...'
'As a result, Yuanmeng Palace, which inherited most of the cause and effect, is connected to me by fate. Daxia Star's star system was recently discovered and designated as a powerhouse's territory, which is highly probable... And it just so happened to be allocated to me.'
'Is this what they call every gain and loss being predetermined by fate? The Great Way of Cause and Effect and the Great Way of Destiny are truly terrifying...'
Fang Xing became interested and briefly checked on his acquaintances' cultivation. He found that Li Hua, as expected, had the weakest talent and relied heavily on resources. The records showed that she had reached the Star Lord Realm with Stellar-level strength...
'Well, it's not bad... After all, she's from an ordinary planet, but with those fortuitous encounters, it's a bit excessive.'
Fang Xing sarcastically thought, 'But in this Source Energy system, Stellar-level cultivators can live for 10 billion years... That's still pretty good.'
'If it were the Qingyuan Great Realm's Nascent Soul Realm, they'd probably be envious to death...'
He continued scrolling: "Hmm, this Lin Qianzhu, truly rising to prominence... He's now at the Red Giant level and specializes in the Fire Law. It seems that the trials in Yuanmeng Palace greatly tempered him..."
As for the rest, they were just there to make up the numbers, having reached the Star Lord Realm but not impressing Fang Xing.
"Then... Yuanmeng Palace?"
"Forget it, I already have a better 'Blood Mountain'. Let's consider Yuanmeng Palace as a gift for the Daxia Star lineage..."
As for recognizing each other, Fang Xing wasn't interested in that either.
