From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 509 Virtual Universe? No, this is...

You two, the strongest beings on Earth, are utterly incapable of protecting our planet!
Li Chengqian's words struck the hearts of everyone in the conference room like a heavy hammer.

Li Chengqian's gaze swept over Hong and Lei Shen, and he continued, "One is a sixth-level planetary, and the other is a seventh-level planetary. If they encounter a stellar-level being, they could crush you with a flick of their finger. We need stronger power and a stronger legacy. There is only one way, and that is to go out into the world."

"Do you have a way to leave Earth?"

Hong finally spoke. He said that he was aware of Li Chengqian's reasoning, but the problem was that with the current technology on Earth, they had no way to leave Earth. Even if they were lucky enough to leave Earth, in the vast universe, a planetary-level human would probably not even be able to survive.

“I am very lucky. The inheritance I received contains a way to leave. I will be leaving Earth soon.” Li Chengqian then revealed another bombshell.

The three people who appeared in the conference room all changed their expressions at the same time.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Don't even think about leaving with me. You don't even have official identities. Once you arrive on another planet, the first thing you'll do is be captured and enslaved. I have no way to protect you."

"It seems the inheritance you received is extraordinary!"

"Actually, it's similar to yours, except I have more information," Li Chengqian shook his head and said. "The relics I obtained clearly record the laws of survival in the universe. Although Earth's location is remote, it is not absolutely safe. According to the universal laws of the universe, once an indigenous planet is discovered, and that planet has not sworn allegiance to a cosmic civilization, or does not have enough powerful beings to protect it... then all the indigenous people on that planet will directly become slaves! The entire planet will be packaged and sold as an asset!"

"Therefore, I need to leave Earth for a while," Li Chengqian stated bluntly. "I will integrate into the cosmic civilization as quickly as possible and 'purchase' the property rights of Earth in the universe! Only by possessing legal property rights to Earth can we receive the most basic protection from the laws of the universe in the event of a potential future crisis, avoiding the fate of the entire planet being directly enslaved, and at the same time..."

Li Chengqian paused for a moment and said, "The beast plagues on Earth will also be dealt with simultaneously, which is not difficult."

"Leave Earth? Buy planetary property rights? Eliminate the beast scourge?!" The sheer volume of information left the three top figures from Earth feeling dazed.

Li Chengqian waited a while, giving them enough time to process the information, and then said, "I don't want anything to happen to my family while I'm away."

Chief of Staff Qi paused for a moment before saying, "There won't be any surprises. Your father and I are old friends, and I won't let anything happen to him."

Hong also spoke up, saying, "Extreme Martial Arts Academy will guarantee their safety and all their interests."

Thor nodded, though he didn't say anything, his meaning was clear.

Having received promises from three of Earth's top figures, Li Chengqian smiled slightly. "In that case, I'll leave these trivial matters within Earth to you all." He stood up. "I hope that once I'm ready to depart, no one will bother me again."

His figure gradually faded and eventually disappeared into the conference room.

The three remaining, including Hong, looked at each other with extremely solemn expressions.

The news brought by Li Chengqian was too shocking; they needed time to digest and process it. As for Mohanderson's death...

Who is Merhandson? Does such a person even exist?

————I am the dividing line————

Earth, deep in the ocean, the 12th ancient civilization site.

Li Chengqian's figure silently pierced through the layers of seawater, ignoring the terrifying beast shadows that lingered there, and accurately found the hidden entrance.

After entering the massive warship, Li Chengqian familiarly found his way to the huge cargo hold carrying the Black Dragon X81 and saw his target.

Heilongshan X81 spacecraft.

The spaceship, entirely black with sleek lines, still exuding a chilling aura even after nearly a million years of silence, lay quietly inside its massive cabin. There were obvious signs of damage on one side of the hull, and with his arrival, the hatch of the Black Dragon spaceship opened automatically.

"Welcome, Master!"

A flash of light appeared, and a virtual figure appeared before him.

Red Queen!

After absorbing and digesting Babata, Li Chengqian visited Ruins No. 12 once and had the Red Queen take control of the spaceship. However, after nearly a million years, the spaceship had suffered some damage and required time to repair. It has only now been fully repaired. "All repairs are complete, and we can depart."

"Then let's set off, destination: Qiulong Star," Li Chengqian said.

He didn't go to Mars again. He already knew about the Silver Blue Empire's mining base on Mars from Babata's memories, but the amount of black iron ore and black iron essence was of limited value to him now, not worth the trip. His target was directly Qiulong Star, about 16 light-years from Earth, the closest transit planet and prosperous place in the Milky Way galaxy.

hum!
The Black Dragon spaceship trembled slightly, transforming into a dark streak of light. It silently broke through the seawater, burst out of Earth's atmosphere, and rapidly accelerated until it became a blurry shadow, merging into the boundless starry sky.

Dark universe voyage begins.

Inside the spaceship, Li Chengqian sat in the streamlined pilot's seat, a huge virtual screen in front of him displaying a bizarre, distorted, and ever-changing scene of the dark universe. He toyed with a Qianwu coin in his hand, while his mind was filled with a massive amount of data compiled and output by the Red Queen, including universal language, common knowledge about the Milky Way, the laws of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and basic information about the Qiulong Star.

"Master, based on information from the Babata database and publicly available information from the cosmic network, the optimal landing location has been planned—the 'Planetary Dock Port' on Qiulong Star. For initial contact, you can refer to the process of the original owner, Luo Feng, becoming a citizen of Black Dragon Mountain, and prioritize becoming a citizen of Black Dragon Mountain." The Red Queen's voice sounded at the right time.

"Hmm." Li Chengqian closed his eyes, continuing to process the information. Unlike Luo Feng's initial confusion and caution, he had a clear purpose and a well-defined plan.

a few days later
"Dark universe voyage complete, about to embark on space travel... 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1!"

The spaceship jolted violently and returned to its original space.

Outside the window, a colossal planet, seemingly bathed in colorful light, came into view. It was many times larger than Earth, and the outlines of magnificent cities were faintly visible on its surface. In the surrounding space, spaceships of various types and sizes crisscrossed like a busy swarm of bees. Further away, satellite castles the size of the moon could be seen.

We've arrived at Qiulong Star.

"Receive the berthing port guidance signal and pay the berthing fee (Qianwu coins) according to the Class C channel standard," Li Chengqian calmly ordered. Although the Black Dragon spaceship was the X81 model, to outsiders it was just a relatively expensive Class C spaceship and not particularly eye-catching.

The spaceship landed smoothly on a huge platform, following the instructions. The hatch opened, and Li Chengqian, dressed in a set of ordinary gray alloy armor that had been prepared in advance, stepped out and was greeted by a bizarre and surreal scene.

The energy concentration in the air is far higher than on Earth, and all sorts of bizarre alien or non-human life forms walk among them. The noisy universal language and various dialects intertwine, creating a bizarre and fantastical interstellar port scene.

"Go to the Imperial Government Office first to register your identity and household registration." Without pausing, Li Chengqian followed the signs and the Red Queen's navigation, taking the light-speed passage inside the port, and soon arrived in front of a magnificent and austere building.

The Imperial Government Office of Heilongshan.

After paying a 50 Black Dragon Coin processing fee and undergoing simple gene collection and information entry, a black token representing his citizenship of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire quickly arrived in his hands. From now on, he was considered a registered citizen in the universe.

After doing all this, he went to the Virtual Universe Company to register for internet access, then found a hotel and paid for a month's accommodation. He planned to spend a month familiarizing himself with the rules of Qiulong Star and the entire universe.

"Alright, Red Queen, connect to the virtual universe!"

"Virtual universe connection in progress..."

A deep and resounding voice echoed in his consciousness, and the next moment, everything went dark before his eyes.

Virtual Universe
In the ancient city, a figure suddenly appeared, dressed in gray, with a little girl, about the size of a fist, sitting on his shoulder. She looked to be only seven or eight years old.

The figure was Li Chengqian. He opened his eyes and looked around.

"This is the virtual universe... No, this is...!"

In an instant, his expression changed drastically, and a chilling wind suddenly swept through what should have been the virtual universe of the digital world...

"This is the underworld!!!"

Before he could even react, a slap landed hard on the back of his head.

Snapped! ! !
The entire city was frozen in time by that slap.
