Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 13 A Journey Through Millions of Light-Years
Time passes day by day.

Ninety days is essentially only about three months, which is just a blink of an eye for planetary lifespans that can reach a thousand years.

At a distance of approximately 190 million kilometers from the star, the dark red Blazing Lotus hovers in deep space.

This spaceship has now become Yu Duan's personal vehicle. As for Master Zhenli and the others, they purchased a C9-class alloy spaceship to travel between the two worlds.

Inside one of the spaceship's observation rooms, the porthole was open, and Yu Duan sat cross-legged, suspended in mid-air, facing the intense starlight.

Beside Yu Duan, a liquid metal robot was carrying a metal box.

Inside the metal box were vials of 'Lingxi Liquid,' a cultivation potion commonly used by martial artists who have awakened light-type genetic talents. It can significantly increase the upper limit and efficiency of cells absorbing cosmic primal energy, accelerating the enhancement of genetic primal energy.

The effect was also very obvious. In just 90 days, Yu Duan was promoted from the peak of the first level of the planetary star to the late stage of the second level of the planetary star.

Because of this improvement, Yu Duan's cultivation location was able to advance from 240 million kilometers away from the star to 190 million kilometers away, and the efficiency of his cultivation progress also increased by 43 times.

The closer you get to a star, the greater the increase in the amount of light radiation you receive for every little bit of distance you shorten.

Based on the stellar intensity of the Light Source Galaxy, even if Yu Duan were to reach the peak of the planetary level, he could only reside at a distance of 100 million kilometers from the star at most.

Reaching the surface of a star would only be possible on a cosmic scale.

"Master, email received. The Beiming Holy Land spaceship is about to enter the Light Source Galaxy."

The image of the intelligent assistant 'Natural' emerged, similar to the elf image seen in various works by Yu Duan in his previous life, only the size of a palm.

Now that we have money, we've upgraded everything we do, and our intelligent assistance has gone from the most basic level of intelligence to a high level of emotional intelligence that's second only to intelligent life forms.

Intelligent assistance is generally divided into four levels: logic processing program—primary intelligence with logic comparable to real humans—advanced intelligence with emotions—intelligent life.

Among them, intelligent life evolved from the third level of emotional intelligence and cannot be directly created.

The birth of every intelligent life requires a long period of time and companionship, and the emotional bond with the owner is very deep. Therefore, almost no one will sell their intelligent life, and it is impossible to buy one even if you want to.

Yu Duan opened his eyes, his consciousness returning from the virtual universe: "Natural, just send them my coordinates directly, I won't say goodbye to Master Zhenli and the others, to avoid sadness."

There's really nothing to be sad about; it's not like we can't meet in the virtual universe.

"Yes, Master!" Tianran flapped its transparent wings, its small figure nodding up and down as if in agreement.

About 15 minutes later, a dark blue, circular spaceship emerged from deep space.

This is a shuttle-shaped spaceship, about 1.2 kilometers long and about 200 meters in diameter. Its entire body looks as if it were carved from some kind of sapphire.

As the spaceship hatch opened, a group of powerful figures flew out.

The leader was a winged human with two wings and four arms, and behind him were 10 peak ninth-tier cosmic-level guards.

"I've met my lord."

Yu Duan bowed slightly, paying his respects to the winged human powerhouse. According to the natural feedback from the intelligent assistant, this was a peak Domain Lord level powerhouse.

The winged human powerhouse quickly stopped him, a friendly smile appearing on his face, and said, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. With your talent, you will surely become a member of the core of the Holy Land. Just call me 'Parentin'."

Yu Duan had also learned about the information on the sacred site of Beiming.

Ordinary students of the Northern Divine Land have at least mastered their domains at the Stellar level, and are destined to become Domain Lords. In the future, they can even glimpse the World Lord level, thus their status is comparable to that of a Domain Lord.

The core members hold a status equivalent to realm lords, with realm lord-level core members able to interact with immortal gods on an equal footing.

It should also be noted that Yan Lun, whom Yu Duan had previously met, was merely a Realm Lord-level member of the Holy Land, not a core member. Only the top 10 Realm Lord-level members constitute the core layer.

Although Yu Duan was not yet a core member, Palendin had seen Yu Duan's information and knew what the triple realm at the age of 17 represented, so he addressed him as His Highness in advance.

Yu Duan nodded slightly, but still politely asked, "Mr. Palendin, when do we depart?" Although he said it was okay to call him by his first name, there was no need to put on airs; being polite was enough.

"We can depart at any time, as long as it doesn't delay the journey. Everything depends on Your Highness's schedule."

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and took one last look at the planet where he had lived for more than ten years, then looked at Parisin and said, "Let's set off now, I'm ready."

Yu Duan used his spatial ring to store his small spaceship, and then, surrounded by the crowd, entered the spaceship of the Northern Ming Holy Land.

With the spaceship activated, it successfully entered the dark universe in just a few moments.

The long shuttle, emitting a faint blue light, traveled through the dark universe at approximately 10 times the speed of light, heading straight for the star field directly under the jurisdiction of the Northern Underworld Universe Kingdom.

Inside the spaceship's lounge, it took about two minutes to collect and upload Yu Duan's Force characteristics and genetic information before he could officially become a planetary member of the Northern Divine Land.

"Mr. Parishion, how far are we from the Holy Land?"

On the sofa, Yu Duan savored the luxury of the E-class spaceship and looked at Palendin in front of him.

Palendin smiled and said, "The Holy Land is about 3000 million light-years away from Your Highness's hometown. At the speed of a spaceship, it will take about 108 days to reach it."

3000 million light-years is an absolutely terrifying unit of distance.

However, in reality, on the scale of the entire universe kingdom's territory, the Blazing Lotus God Empire is already quite close to the core territory of the Northern Dawn Universe Kingdom.

"Now that Your Highness has officially become a member of the Northern Ming Holy Land, you have the authority to enter our Northern Ming Universe Kingdom's exclusive space in the virtual universe—the Northern Ming Sea."

Palendin asked, "If Your Highness is willing, I can first show you around the Northern Sea."

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Parisin."

……

Virtual Universe, Beiming Sea.

Unlike the Northern Ming Continent, this independent space is a vast and boundless sea of ​​stars, not a true ocean.

At the center of this sea of ​​stars stands a vast and majestic temple, radiating brilliant light, resembling a quasar at the center of a real galaxy, becoming the absolute core of the galaxy.

Surrounding that vast temple are celestial bodies resembling inverted mountains, each with interconnected buildings and palaces forming manors.

"This is... the Northern Sea?"

On a rapidly flying metal platform, Yu Duan gazed at the vast galaxy and looked at Palendin beside him.

"Yes, Your Highness, at the center of this sea of ​​stars lies the temple of the great ruler!"

Parisin bowed respectfully to the center of the starry sea, then added, "The more than 20,000 manors surrounding the National Lord's Temple are the domain of more than 20,000 immortal gods under the command of the Cosmic Kingdom."

"Billions of people live on the entire Beiming Sea, but there are only 2110 true core geniuses among them. The rest are ordinary members and staff like me."

"Among these two thousand-plus core-level geniuses, there are 1000 at the stellar level and 1,000 at the cosmic level. They are seeds cultivated for the selection competition held by the two top powers."

"Up to the Domain Lord level and the Realm Lord level, there are only 100 and 10 core members respectively."

Palendin showed Yu Duan a little about the various areas of the Northern Sea.

The planetary-level members reside on a floating island with a maximum diameter of approximately 100,000 kilometers. Including Yu Duan, there are only five of them.

The stellar and cosmic-level members, which go up to 100 million, reside on even larger continental celestial bodies.

Each core member at every level is entitled to an independent life star as their residence.
