Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 181 The Qianwu became Zhang Yi's direct subordinate.

Previously, the guardian was the Lord of Dragon Path. This time, Zhang Yi became the new Lord of the Virtual Universe Company and took the initiative to take over the guardianship of the Purgatory Abyss from the Lord of Dragon Path.

The Lord of Dragons has no clones and has been guarding this place for countless years, having not ventured into the Cosmic Sea for a long time.

This time, we owe it to Zhang Yi. After all, a universe master with several clones like Zhang Yi is extremely rare within our race.

Most cosmic rulers do not have avatars.

"Once my mastery of spacetime fusion is strong enough, I'll see if I can go in and explore it." Zhang Yi glanced at the deep passage again, sensed the scene in front of the main hall, and then disappeared.

Outside the majestic and massive main hall, two figures stood, talking quietly to each other.

"Qianwu, I heard that Lord Shikong summoned you privately before, and now he has summoned the two of us again. Do you know what it is about?" King Noah asked. "Could it be that we have been chosen by the Lord?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had already made his judgment and said with a faint smile, "Just wait, when the lord arrives, you will naturally know."

"Alright, Qianwu, this is a chance for both of us."

suddenly.

"Come in." A voice came from inside the hall.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly entered the main hall.

"Greetings, Lord of Time and Space." Below the main hall, two figures bowed in greeting.

"Get up," Zhang Yi said with a smile as he looked down.

"Noah, Qianwu, I'm sure you've guessed why I've summoned you two here. I want you to become my direct subordinates. Are you willing?"

"We are willing, of course we are willing. It is our honor to serve you, sir." The two men said respectfully, looking up at Zhang Yi with barely suppressed excitement in their eyes.

Zhang Yi smiled and nodded: "Alright, you two are coming with me, so I can't be stingy. I'll give each of you a priceless treasure first."

Whoosh! With a wave of his hand, Zhang Yi sent two streaks of light into view before them, which the rulers of Qianwu and Noah immediately caught.

"I'm entrusting the Abyss Passage and everything here to you two. If there's anything urgent, feel free to message me," Zhang Yi said.

"Go."

The rulers of Qianwu and Noah bowed slightly before leaving the hall.

Zhang Yi watched the two leave with a smile.

Zhang Yi had his own considerations in choosing the two direct superiors this time.

As the ruler of the universe kingdom where his family resides, King Noah gifted him a star field when he was still at the universe level. Later, as his strength increased, he helped his family many times and even took Lan Qi as his disciple. This time, Lan Qi also won first place in the Genius Battle.

Both logically and emotionally, it is only natural to bring them under our control.

Needless to say, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is worth his investment just for the Milky Way region and Luo Feng alone.

"Everything is ready. My strength is unlikely to improve any further in the short term, so it's time to head to the Cosmic Sea." With that thought, Zhang Yi immediately sent an email to the Lord of Youhou, and the two agreed on a time and place.

"This time when we go to the Cosmic Sea, my Star Avatar will stay here to guard it," Zhang Yi thought to himself.

The Star Avatar is of little use to him now; it's better for it to stay here and guard the area.

Not far from the main hall was a palace, which was the residence of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom. At this moment, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom and the ruler of the Noah Kingdom sat on the throne, raising wine cups and chatting with each other.

"Noah, cheers! We'll be working together from now on," the King of Qianwu said with a smile, downing his wine in one gulp.

King Noah excitedly raised his wine cup and drank heartily: "Qianwu, we two are valued by the master, so we must be more careful in the future and must not delay the master's affairs."

"That's for sure." The two of them have finally found a powerful backer this time. You have to understand how difficult it is for universe rulers like them, whose strength has not improved for billions of years, to obtain a supreme treasure.

Like the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, who risked borrowing a supreme treasure to enter the Primordial Star, he fell into debt and was left with nothing but debts. If it weren't for Zhang Yi's help, he would have had no chance to recover. This time, Zhang Yi has bestowed upon him another supreme treasure.

This made the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom especially grateful.

The news that the rulers of Qianwu Kingdom and Noah Kingdom had become Zhang Yi's direct subordinates spread rapidly throughout the circle of cosmic venerables.

In a pavilion halfway up Thunder Mountain, a group of cosmic rulers gathered.

"Qianwu and Noah are really lucky. They've caught the eye of Lord Zhang Yi because of their performance in this genius battle." A hearty voice rang out.

"Those two guys, I invited them over for a get-together today, but they refused outright, saying that they had just joined the lord's ranks and needed to focus on doing the tasks assigned by the lord well."

"Hmph! I think these two have just latched onto a big shot and now they don't care to associate with us."

"Haha, you're just envious. If you're so capable, why don't you get noticed by Lord Zhang Yi yourself?"

"I can't do it. My Universe Kingdom didn't produce any geniuses in this year's Genius Battle. By the way, it seems that the Lord only selected two direct Venerables this time, and there is still one spot left."

"There's an empty spot? The first and second place winners were chosen from their respective universes, but which universe is the third winner from? Why wasn't he chosen by the adults?"

"Are you in seclusion? Of course, our King Jinlan is third in the Genius Battle. I heard that he spent a lot of money to recruit a genius named Jinhen. It's a pity that he only got third place in the end."

"Thirdly, she should have had a chance to be noticed by the adults, so why wasn't Jin Lan chosen?"

"How would I know? Go ask Lord Zhang Yi."

Over the long years, these rulers of the universe have found it difficult to improve their strength, and such gossip and idle chatter have become a great source of amusement for them.

"Hmph!" A cold snort rang out, and the King of Jinlan, dressed in golden robes, instantly lost all expression.

He suffered a huge loss this time, not only losing the treasure but also losing face.

"Oh, so Jin Lan is here too. How stingy of her to leave without even saying hello."

"If you were Jin Lan, would you say hello?"

In a remote corner of the primordial universe, there was a colossal black hole that swallowed up all the surrounding star systems.

Whoosh! Zhang Yi appeared in this dark space.

"Is this the Toya Black Hole?" Zhang Yi looked at the enormous darkness in the distance.

"Zhang Yi, you've arrived." The voice of the Lord of Youhou suddenly rang out. "Are you all ready?"

"Yeah." Zhang Yi nodded.

“Then let’s go. We can quickly reach the Cosmic Sea through this Toya Black Hole. This is also the way most Cosmic Lords choose to enter the Cosmic Sea.”

"go!"

Boom! The two flew directly into the depths of the Natoya Black Hole.

Whoosh! A powerful force of devouring and twisting acted on Zhang Yi, but his expression remained unchanged.

Lord Youhou glanced at Zhang Yi in surprise. This Toya Black Hole was arguably the strongest black hole in the original universe. Although it could not cause the lord of the universe to perish, the divine body of a newly promoted lord of the universe who was weak and whose treasure armor was weak would still be consumed. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi was completely unaffected.

Back then, when he had just become the Lord of the Universe and was led into the Cosmic Sea by the Lord of Darkness, he had consumed a lot of his divine body here.

"Does Zhang Yi possess an extremely high-grade treasure armor?" Lord Youhou wondered to himself.
