Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 26 A Glimmer of Red Light Beneath the Ruins

Planet destroyed!

Beneath the seemingly calm tone lies an almost cruel attitude.

Although they already knew that Perseus had invited them to intimidate them, watching helplessly as the other party ordered the killing of hundreds of millions of humans on the entire planet still sent a chill down the spines of the powerful figures behind the screen.

So this is what Perseus's personality is like.

They seem easy to talk to, but if you really provoke them, it's a fight to the death.

Immediately, a group of cosmic-level beings began to consider whether they had offended this powerful figure.

at the same time.

Meanwhile, Perseus reconnected to the virtual universe and dialed Tor's communication number.

"Owner."

The young man with eight pairs of wings bowed and paid his respects through the screen. Behind him were three other domain lords who had also completed their transformation.

These were originally the four Silverwing Clan slaves.

Perseus prepared two-star creature tokens, various precious cultivation resources, and wood spirit seeds for each of them. With improved aptitude and ample energy, they naturally all broke through to become domain lords.

However, to avoid trouble, the cards he prepared were somewhat different.

Tuo'er's "Flying Wings" is the highest level, capable of raising his life gene level by 10 times. The bloodline levels of the cards fused by the other three are slightly lower, but because the bloodline of the Silverwing Clan is more compatible with the Law of Wind, these cards are basically of similar nature.

In short, they are all birdmen.

The first to break through was Tuoer, who had sixteen wings. The other three had either blue wings or feathered crowns on their foreheads. In short, the appearances of the four had changed dramatically compared to before.

With them around, Perseus no longer needed to worry about losing his spoils due to insufficient manpower.

"The Castle Merchant Guild owns a large number of inhabited planets, and it would be troublesome to take control of them all. Next, the four of you will be in charge of communicating with the Dongsi Empire, Qingying Empire, and other early-stage civilizations in the universe."

"I have only one request: to reclaim ownership of this planet!"

The domain lord still holds a respectable position in the universe.

Even at the cosmic level, joining a nascent cosmic civilization would grant access to dozens of inhabited planets as territory.

Domain lords like Tuo Er are sought after by any nascent civilization in the universe, and even those who directly claim territory and establish power can gain official recognition.

Of course, it has little effect on ordinary forces.

Building a power is much more efficient than simply plundering. Even a fledgling company like the Castle Merchant Guild, which has only been around for a little over ten thousand years, has assets exceeding 500 billion cosmic coins.

Perseus narrowed his eyes, seemingly thinking about the benefits this development would bring him. No matter what he did, he needed people, and the larger the territory, the more room there would be for maneuver.

His advantage lies in the type that values ​​'elements'; the more people he has under his command, the easier it becomes to complete the puzzle later.

Tuo'er and his companions readily agreed.

Although only a year has passed, not reaching the 10-year limit for the Wood Soul Seed to be completely integrated into the soul, they were not Domain Lords when they were affected, but rather at the peak of the Universe level.

The difference between them was enough to turn them into Perseus's die-hard fans.

However, cultivating a peak human bloodline similar to that of the Manka aliens or the Wild Gods is not easy. It's not that Perseus doesn't have enough resources to complete the puzzle, nor that Tol and the others can't reproduce, but rather that Perseus's current strength is insufficient to preserve the peak bloodline.

With that in mind, Perseus gave a few more instructions.

"From today onwards, none of you should have children. The rest of the Silverwing Clan are fine, though. When the time is right, I'll find a way to elevate you to a high position among humanity..."

This is clearly a long-term plan.

However, the human race will most likely continue to keep an eye on the border in the near future. It is difficult for him to contact the races in the Fenglan Universe Kingdom, and it is also difficult to send spies to the territories of the three former enemies, the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race, through other channels... After thinking it over, it seems that he can only target the human race.

"However, shouldn't we mention the genetic level of life?"

"There's an auction in a little over a year. I don't know if I'll be able to find suitable genetic material. It's not easy to deduce genes from quantity without a blueprint. Ideally... ideally, I could buy the opportunity to go to Chaos City for secluded cultivation..."

……

All those schemes ultimately vanished without a trace in the wind.

On the other side, number 1 was having a good time killing.

He was like a raging god, looking down at the sinful humans on the ground, unleashing a barrage of fire, his狰狞 face filled with hysterical hatred.

In the end, the planet Gulan was completely reduced to ruins.

Faint ashes rose, and corpses vanished like steam in the lava and heat. Large quantities of ores and medicinal herbs stored in the treasury crumbled.

Perseus had assumed there were no valuable treasures here, and that the real treasures were almost all in the spatial rings of the domain lords he had killed earlier.

Unexpectedly, just a short while later, Number 1, who was keeping a close eye on the life detector, started shouting in the communication channel.

"Master has detected an unknown energy fluctuation!"

Unknown energy fluctuations?

Perseus paused slightly, "Where?"

Could it be that I, too, have found something extraordinary, just like Luo Feng found the iron piece of the 'Nine Tribulations Secret Manual'?

Perseus was somewhat hopeful about this.

The D9-class star-destroying main cannon on the spaceship could not withstand even a domain master-level metal for long under continuous bombardment. The fact that it could survive such continuous strafing is enough to show that the thing is incredibly strong.

With that thought in mind, Perseus silently quickened his pace.

Guided by Number 1, he quickly traversed most of the planet and appeared in a scorched valley. Scanning his surroundings, he saw faint smoke mixed with intense radiation, making the dark void below, blasted out by artillery fire, appear exceptionally mysterious.

At the same time, deep underground, Perseus also vaguely saw a faint red light, as small as a fingertip, yet it gave people an extremely strange feeling.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

The howling wind whistled past their ears, and along the way, they could see magnificent landscapes of flowing water, lava, and white mist. The acidic and irritating gases could even corrode the flesh and blood of a star-level expert.

However, for a domain lord, who can fight easily even on a neutron star with extremely strong gravity and difficulty in movement, this level of skill is not even worth scratching an itch.

Perseus quickly arrived at the location of the red light.

Through the beam of light emitted from the smart wrist, a strange hexagonal copper plate was firmly embedded deep in the rock strata. The twisted energy circuit was extremely bizarre, and staring at it for too long gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

It doesn't seem to be a treasure of the Castle Merchant Guild.

In the vast universe, where powerful beings destroy planets, new planets naturally emerge.

Vast swirling particles spontaneously absorb cosmic dust, taking a long time to generate new planets.

Similarly, when this huge 'field' is in effect, it will also absorb some debris or rare treasures.

Although the probability of such an event is extremely low, similar experiences of "accidentally falling into the abyss and finding treasure" are not uncommon in the primordial universe.

"So, what kind of hexagonal copper sheet is this?"

Is it a legacy left behind by an ancient powerful being... or a special token pointing to a hidden treasure trove...?
