Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

After entering the dark universe, there was nothing more for Xiang Bei to do.

So he simply returned to his captain's lounge and began to cultivate in seclusion.

After all, it's not very interesting to be alone on such a large spaceship, so he might as well continue cultivating to pass the time.

Nine days passed in the blink of an eye.

When the spaceship's intelligent program reminded Xiang Bei that they were about to arrive at Ju Dong Star, Xiang Bei was still immersed in cultivation in the captain's cabin.

Entering the dark universe from Swallowed Star requires briefly reaching the speed of light, while leaving the dark universe requires the spaceship to gradually decelerate until it comes to a complete stop before it can escape the dark universe and return to the main universe.

As the Silver Star gradually slowed down in the dark universe, the scenery outside suddenly changed when the Silver Star came to a complete stop.

The Silver Star spaceship had appeared in a cosmic sky that Xiang Bei had never seen before, surrounded by a vast expanse of stars, countless of them shining brightly.

However, Xiang Bei's spaceship did not appear directly next to Ju Dongxing at this moment.

After all, as a planet with the Silver Blue Empire's army stationed there, the Silver Star's unauthorized appearance on Torch East Star would easily be attacked by the defense system.

After all, Judong Star doesn't have a Domain Lord-level expert like Qiulong Star.

Therefore, Xiang Bei's coordinates after leaving the dark universe are still some distance from Ju Dong Star. Next, Xiang Bei needs to send an entry application to Ju Dong Star, then sail along the main route planned by Ju Dong Star, and continue to sail along the route until he is near Ju Dong Star. Then he will continue to wait for Ju Dong Star's signal guidance before he can officially land on Ju Dong Star.

Xiang Bei learned all of this from the intelligent system of the Silver Star spaceship, and he didn't know if these rules had changed over the past hundreds of thousands of years.

However, Xiang Bei still sent a message as per the previous rules, applying for entry and waiting for Ju Dongxing to send navigation guidance.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes had passed in the wait.

Just as Xiang Bei's heart was sinking and growing heavy, the spaceship finally received a message.

The Silver Star spacecraft is instructed to enter the T36Q trajectory and wait in the outer region of Torch East Star.

Upon seeing the received message, Xiang Bei's heart skipped a beat.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief.

What he was most worried about was that many planets in the Silver Blue Empire had changed over the past hundreds of thousands of years. Some planets had been expanded, some had been abandoned, some had changed their function, and some had even been destroyed. This was not uncommon in the universe.

Countless life-bearing planets perish naturally every year; these are undeniable natural laws.

Xiang Bei worried that after hundreds of thousands of years, Ju Dongxing would be completely different from what it used to be.

Fortunately, the spacecraft received a guidance signal, which at least means that the planet still exists.

Following the directions, the Silver Star quickly entered the T36Q channel and then gradually flew along it.

After flying for more than an hour, Xiang Bei finally saw a huge planet in the distant starry sky on the control system.

According to the records of the Silver Star.

The surface area of ​​Judong Star is about 3.5 times that of Earth, and its gravity is about 2.1 times that of Earth.

It is one of the more developed commercial planets within the Silver Blue Empire.

As the spaceship approached, Xiang Bei could clearly see that it wasn't the only spaceship traveling along this route; he could even see other spaceships heading towards Ju Dong Star along different routes in other directions.

This also relieved Xiang Bei, as the large number of spaceships coming and going meant that the safety of Ju Dong Star was guaranteed to a certain extent.

Commercial performance doesn't seem to have changed, which is the best possible outcome.

As the spaceship approached, more and more spaceships appeared around it, and Xiang Bei was able to see the appearance of Ju Dongxing clearly.

This is a planet whose overall color is a mix of fiery red and blue.

The fiery red color is also due to the soil color of the land on Judongxing, and the plants growing on it are also this color, with few other colored plants present.

The blue color of the oceans on Judong Star is not much different from that on Earth.

However, as a commercial planet, most of the surface of Judong Star Planet has been transformed into bustling cities, with few natural sights.

In addition, this planet has two satellites, but both have been converted into large military ports.

When the Silver Star arrived near Torch East Star, it naturally flew to an area where more than a hundred other spaceships were hovering and waiting for Torch East Star's signal.

Furthermore, other spaceships were arriving from a more distant direction, demonstrating that Judong Star remained as prosperous as ever.

Xiang Bei's stay was not too long, only about twenty minutes, and more than a hundred spaceships ahead had already flown into the interior of Ju Dong Star.

"Go to Area A, Port 36."

After receiving the guidance signal, Xiang Bei did not hesitate and directly ordered the spacecraft's intelligent program to land inside the harbor of Judong Star according to the guidance.

As a commercial planet, Judong Star still has a dedicated spaceship docking harbor.

These harbors are divided into three levels: Class A, Class B, and Special Class.

Class A spaceships are docked in Class A areas, while Class B spaceships are docked in Class B areas.

The special-grade area is specifically used to dock C-class and higher-class spacecraft.

After all, this is just a trading planet of the Silver Blue Empire, and not many people can afford to come in a C-class spaceship.

Xiang Bei's spaceship is only an A3-class vessel, so it can only dock in the A-class area.

However, Xiang Bei didn't care about these things; most of the spaceships coming and going around were actually Class A spaceships.

The Silver Star landed steadily, and only after it came to a complete stop did Xiang Bei open the spaceship's hatch.

The gravity on Judong Star is different from that on Earth, but this is nothing to Xiang Bei.

As Xiang Bei stepped off the spaceship, two people in light red uniforms quickly jogged over.

Both of them had reddish skin, were about 2.3 to 2.4 meters tall, and had a single horn on their heads, making them look somewhat like demons often seen in Western mythology.

However, compared to the demon, these two were noticeably more respectful.

He approached Xiang Bei with an extremely professional smile.

"Welcome to Torch East Star, sir. Your Silver Grail Y5 passenger spaceship costs 2000 Silver Blue Coins per month for parking! If you stay for less than a month, you will still be charged 2000 Silver Blue Coins. Here is your parking card."

As he spoke, one of the staff members handed a red and blue card to Xiang Bei with both hands. The card had the C36 logo on it.

The price of 2000 Silver Blue Coins is not too high; it's considered a normal fee in the Silver Blue Empire.

However, this is not low for a poor person like Xiang Bei, considering how little money he has.
