Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 115 Departure! The Beginning of a Cosmic Adventure

Inside the control room of the Heilongshan X81 spacecraft.

Qin Ming, Luo Feng, and Jia Yi stared intently out the window.

Even Qin Ming couldn't suppress his excitement at the prospect of experiencing such a novel thing as the universe.

Our destination this time is a prosperous and powerful planet, 32 light-years away from Earth—Qiulong Star!

In the vast universe, the Dragon Star is nothing special.

But for Qin Ming and his group, it was undoubtedly a super planet teeming with powerful individuals.

This is because it is a power established by a domain lord, and it has a history of 300 million years in the universe.

Such a place would be much safer, because those who go there are all people of status in the universe, and generally nothing barbaric or bloody will happen, making it relatively safe.

"I never imagined that we would be coming into contact with the vast universe and the peoples in it so soon."

Jia Yi was excited, but also a little apprehensive.

By joining the outer reaches of Meteorite, he gained a deeper understanding of the universe and realized the insignificance of Earth.

My feelings at this moment are no different from those of a country person entering the city for the first time, who is both yearning for the dazzling world and instinctively nervous.

"I wonder what kind of cosmic races or powerful beings we will encounter?"

Luo Feng also looked at the starry sky with anticipation.

"This is a tremendous change for us, akin to a great rebirth, an opportunity that also contains a crisis."

This time, if we can integrate into the universe, obtain citizenship rights, and open the virtual universe, we will have won.

Qin Ming said with a smile.

In addition to the three of them, this trip also included twenty of the most outstanding talents in economics, diplomacy, and commerce, selected from among China's many top talents.

Previously, Qin Ming had considered whether he and Luo Feng should go alone.

The more people come into contact with the universe, the greater the risk.

But in the end, they chose to bring along some of China's elites to go with them.

As he said, this time they were simply going to immerse themselves in the universe and open their eyes to the world.

The people who went with us were all carefully selected, and they are absolutely loyal to China.

Their combat strength is negligible; they are the weakest among their peers.

However, in other areas, such as making money and technology, they are top-notch.

Relying on the legacy of Meteorite Star, China's understanding and foundation are definitely deeper than most forces in the universe.

If handled well, the entire Chinese nation can undergo a transformation in a short period of time.

With Hu Yanbo's spatial magic sealing off the area, he and Huaxia were able to safely get through the weakest period in the early stages.

As for the true special feature of Earth, it lies in the refining process of the Mountain Dweller.

It's not so easy to expose them.

With some preparation, such as registering their identities, and each person being scattered across different galaxies and planets, no one would think of Earth.

The reasons are all readily available.

That's Huyanbo's blockade; Earth needs to develop in secrecy.

In this way, even if they achieve a good ranking in the genius battle in the future, they will not be suspected because they were born on the same planet.

At least, it shouldn't be a problem to deceive ordinary forces.

However, there is a prerequisite.

That means we must grow up and have the power to destroy the Noranshan family before they discover Earth!
Ideally, we should use technological reconnaissance to instantly destroy the enemy once they enter a region thousands of light-years from Earth through a wormhole.

It is not impossible to do this.

By consulting with Babata, it was found that all that was needed was to purchase some large-scale detection and defense equipment and install it at some key nodes.

This is one of the reasons why Qin Ming decided to lead the Chinese personnel in.

We can't always rely on Babata for this kind of thing; at least Earth can control and monitor it.

Of course, there is also the simplest way.

That would mean reaching a cosmic level of strength, or purchasing a cosmic-level slave and bringing them into the spaceship of the mechanical race on Earth.

With the powerful capabilities of the mechanical race's spaceships, monitoring an area of ​​1000 light-years is absolutely a piece of cake.

Its firepower is so great that it could obliterate even a regular Realm Lord, let alone the Nolan Mountain family's adventure spaceship.

"Yes! As long as we merge into the universe, we will win!"

Jia Yi nodded emphatically.

Just as everyone was talking, Babata appeared on the spaceship's control panel, his little face turning serious.

"10 seconds left to reach the speed of light!"

"9!"

"8!"

"7!"

……

The starry sky outside the ship began to blur and gradually darken.

“3……2……1!”

In the vast starry sky, the black spaceship, now blurred, rippled with the movement of space.

The spaceship disappeared!
……

boom!
Qin Ming only felt the spaceship vibrate slightly, and the surroundings became dark until the spaceship stabilized after more than ten seconds.

"We've entered the dark universe? Babata, what's the dark universe like?"

Luo Feng looked out the window curiously, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

Qin Ming and Jia Yi were equally curious and both looked at Babata.

"The spaceship is currently traveling at the speed of light, making it impossible to capture the external scenery."

Babata said.

"Unless we slow down, but accelerating and decelerating consume too much energy. Let me simulate it for you." A virtual screen in the control room was projected, showing a vast space.

The space is filled with points of light, like an ocean of light, and there is nothing else.

"By traveling faster than the speed of light into the dark universe, we can quickly reach other regions. One light-year in the dark universe is 10,081,000 light-years."

The planet Qiulong we're heading to is about 32 light-years from Earth. The Black Dragon Mountain spaceship is traveling at 1.2 times the speed of light and should arrive in about 10 days.

Babata explained.

"Ten days? Luo Feng, Jia Yi, have you learned the universal language of the universe? You can use these days to familiarize yourselves with the basic common sense of the universe, so as not to make a fool of yourselves."

Qin Ming addressed the two of them.

From acquiring the Heilongshan spaceship to heading into space, they only had a little over two months, which was quite a tight schedule.

“Brother Ming, I learned it a long time ago. Babata keeps urging me to learn it every day.”

Luo Feng replied with a smile in the universal language.

When Babata received the inheritance from Meteorite Star, he strictly ordered him to learn the universal language.

“Normal communication is not a problem, and the people I brought here have all learned it.”

Jia Yi also spoke in the universal language.

Both of them are planetary-level powerhouses with strong learning abilities, so mastering a language is not difficult for them.

"The Earth is unified, and preparations are underway to incorporate a universal language into future primary and secondary school curricula."

With production materials obtained from the Mars base, they are working hard to build virtual world equipment, which will soon be available to the entire population.

At that time, both education and spiritual practice can take place in the virtual world.

Although China does not currently intend to disclose cosmic information to the general public, preliminary preparations are underway, and full integration can be achieved whenever needed.

But this can't be rushed.

Reckless opening up is not a good thing for the Earth, but a disaster.

"That's good."

Qin Ming nodded; he was quite satisfied with the Chinese government.

After the authority over Ruins No. 9 was transferred to Huaxia, the bald crystal man established a comprehensive development and monitoring system within Huaxia.

This will enable China to achieve optimal resource allocation in all aspects and enter a period of rapid development.

Flying in the dark universe is very boring; the surrounding scenery is always the same unchanging darkness.

So after chatting for a while, the three of them parted ways, each pursuing their own spiritual practice or learning about the universe.

Nine days later.

"We will be traveling through space and arriving at Qiulong Star in 30 minutes."

Babata's voice rang out inside the spaceship, and Qin Ming, Luo Feng, and Jia Yi, who were in their respective rooms, quickly gathered in the spaceship's control room.

As the spaceship began to decelerate, from 1.2 times the speed of light, it gradually decreased until it came to a complete stop!
Just like when they entered space, the three of them only felt a slight vibration in the spaceship, and after about ten seconds, everything calmed down.

"Successfully completed space travel, back to the original universe."

The virtual exterior view of the spaceship automatically starts.

In the distant starry sky, a planet with two satellites, seemingly radiating colorful light, appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"We are about to arrive at our target planet, Qiulong Star. Everything is proceeding according to plan."

Qin Ming looked at the two of them and said.

"understand!"

Jia Yi and Luo Feng both nodded emphatically.

For the first exploration of the universe, many of China's top talents, using information obtained from Babata, formulated a meticulous plan to ensure safe contact with space.

The three of them were fine, but the 20 top talents had all undergone special training.

"Don't be so nervous. As long as you have money, you're quite safe on Qiulong Star."

Babata looked at the three of them and said with a smile.

With so many talented people in China, his life became much easier. He no longer needed to do most things personally; he could simply give an order and someone would do it.

"We still have some funds."

Jia Yi smiled slightly.

Having unified the Earth, and collected all the precious artifacts from dozens of ruins large and small around the world, China has no shortage of small change.

For example, the mothership outside Ruins No. 12.

Before Qin Ming and his group entered, the entire giant ship was just an empty shell, as it had long been emptied by various forces.

This is a Class B mothership that is 16000 meters long!
When fully loaded, it can accommodate a large number of people.

The Heilongshan spaceship, with a diameter of 100 meters, can only be considered a lifeboat or a small yacht; it is a luxury item.

Nowadays, everything else inside is naturally Chinese.

During the conversation.

The Black Dragon spaceship has accelerated and is heading towards the distant Qiulong Star.

The view outside the window is a simulated exterior scene. As the spaceship approaches the planet Qiulong, it is almost touching the atmosphere.

The atmosphere of Qiulong Star is very peculiar, with air masses of various colors flowing slowly, making the entire planet look extremely gorgeous from the outside.

It amazed everyone who saw it.

"drop!"

“Torrent signal received,” Babata said. “The spaceship will follow the torrent signal to the planetary docking port.”

The Black Dragon spaceship pierced through the atmosphere, and through the virtual exterior view, Qin Ming saw a huge silver city below.

This is an extremely vast docking port, containing a large number of spaceships.

The spaceships vary in size, with the smaller ones, like the Heilongshan spaceship, measuring tens or hundreds of meters.

The larger ones are exaggerated, ranging from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand meters in length, which is many times more shocking than the scenes in science fiction movies.

"Signal received. Proceed to Zone C!"
