Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

Chapter 97 Arrival at Headquarters

"Get up, all of you. We are all members of the Virtual Universe Company, and everything we do is for the sake of our people." Noranshan did not accept their allegiance.

Firstly, he felt that such loyalty was meaningless and was merely a rash decision made on a whim.

Secondly, he doesn't need the loyalty of two military-level immortals. He already has disciples, and he will have more disciples in the future, and those disciples will all become immortals if nothing unexpected happens.

Thirdly, they were sent by the Virtual Universe Company to escort Nuolanshan. How could he possibly accept their loyalty, and how could he dare to accept their loyalty?

The two immortals' disappointment was palpable. Although they were also core members of the Virtual Universe Company, their status was far inferior to that of Nuolanshan. They might even have been sacrifices sent by the higher-ups, just like the dead realm lords and domain lords.

They had been wondering why someone as important as Nuolanshan would be escorted by people like them who had no connections. Now they finally understood.

Seeing how righteous and honorable Nuolanshan was, they thought of seeking refuge and clinging to his coattails, but it was clear that others looked down on them.

However, they won't give up. The journey still has two years left, and they will do their best to prove themselves and gain Noranshan's recognition during this time. At the very least, they want to be remembered, as this connection will make things easier for them in the Virtual Universe Company in the future.

The rest of the journey was peaceful and uneventful. Noranshan was also comprehending the laws in his cabin, without even moving his buttocks.

"Your Highness, we are about to arrive at headquarters and will be undergoing space travel. Please be seated." Xiao Yao's voice rang in Nuolanshan's mind, and Nuolanshan immediately stopped cultivating.

Immediately afterwards, the spaceship's intelligent voice announced: "Initiating space travel, 0——————9————8————7————"

1! "

Nolan felt the entire spaceship shudder slightly, like a car entering a gravel road, but after about ten seconds the spaceship returned to stability—the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company had arrived.

"100% outdoor scene simulation"

In an instant, Nuolanshan saw a dreamlike starry sky, and in the distance, a vast and boundless supercontinent floated.

"Wow, this is much bigger than the Qianwu Secret Realm," Nuolanshan couldn't help but exclaim.

According to the information obtained by Noranshan, this continent is tens of light-years in diameter. All the celestial bodies hovering around the continent are incredibly powerful technological weapons; even a cosmic sovereign would perish under their influence, let alone an immortal king.

This is only the visible force. Nolan Mountain believes that Virtual Universe Company, as one of the five giants, must have other protective forces hidden.

call!

The spaceship traveled at near-light speed for several minutes in the continent's entrance passage before beginning to decelerate.

The hatch opened, and Nuolanshan led the way out, followed only by two pitiful guards, not the full complement of soldiers.

As for the Fourth and Thirteenth Divine Generals, they stopped following the spaceship before it began its space travel and returned directly to the Qianwu Secret Realm. Their mission was complete.

After the Zerg hive incident, they haven't dared to blink for the past two years, and finally managed to deliver His Highness to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Your Highness Nuolanshan, I am here to welcome you on the orders of Venerable Yuanchen. Please follow me." As soon as Nuolanshan stepped out of the spaceship, a beautiful young woman respectfully greeted him.

"Okay." Nuolanshan nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, we have completed our mission and need to return to report," Xiao Yao said.

"Yes, thank you both for your hard work."

"It is our honor to serve Your Highness for three years."

After saying goodbye, Noranshan followed the beautiful girl and soon arrived at a palace hall. Along the way, he saw many immortal gods streaking across the sky like shooting stars.

"Look, Nuolanshan is here."

"Hello, Nuolanshan."

"Your Highness, Nolanshan."

Many geniuses had arrived before Nuolanshan, and they all came up to greet him enthusiastically, just like a fan meeting. Even Cangwu, as Nuolanshan's disciple, couldn't squeeze to the front.

"Hello, hello." Nuolanshan greeted them with a smile, appearing very friendly and completely lacking the aloofness that usually makes strangers want to stay away.

While greeting them, Nuolanshan unconsciously used the system to assess their level of genius. A total of 7300 geniuses, almost all of them were third-tier geniuses, with the potential to become immortals.

There were even five second-class geniuses, but none first-class geniuses. This was still quite astonishing, considering the battle of the universe's top experts only takes place once every 50,000 years.

Over the endless ages of humankind, countless immortals have appeared, but most have vanished into the long river of cosmic history.

Immortality is merely an almost infinite lifespan, but one can still be killed. Even if one chooses to hide and avoid fighting, one will eventually die, since even the primordial universe has its own lifespan.

Nuolanshan thought to himself, "It seems I won't have to worry about finding disciples in the future. It's truly a case of: second-rate geniuses are everywhere, and third-rate geniuses are as common as dogs."

After a brief commotion, the beautiful girl who had brought Nuolanshan said, "Now that everyone is here, let's head to Chaos City. Follow me."

Whoosh!

Led by a beautiful girl, a group of geniuses soared into the sky and arrived at a large lawn, where a strangely shaped spaceship was parked. It didn't look like one of those metal lumps; it looked more like a living fish.

This spaceship incorporates other immortal-level life forms, possessing both the sturdiness of a metal spaceship and the flexibility of a living being.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a spaceship like this."

"As expected of the Venerable One's vehicle."

"It must be a G-class spaceship. Tsk tsk tsk, they're really rich."

The group of geniuses were all discussing the spaceship with great astonishment. They were all from prominent families, but not all of them owned a spaceship of this caliber.

All I can say is that he truly deserves to be called a Venerable One.

"Alright, everyone, get on the spaceship." The voice of the Yuan Chen Kingdom Lord rang out, urging Nuolanshan and the others to board the spaceship.

Whoosh whoosh!

Led by Nuolanshan, a group of geniuses entered the spaceship and saw the Yuan Chen Kingdom's ruler standing inside.

"Greetings, Venerable One." The group of geniuses bowed to Venerable Yuan Chen. Within the Virtual Universe Company, his identity was that of a Venerable One, but he did not represent the Yuan Chen Universe Kingdom.

Venerable Yuan Chen's gaze fell on Nuolan Mountain for a moment, then he said, "Let's set off."

At his command, the spaceship began to move, swimming through the air like a fish.

"Stop!" Not long after they had flown, a thunderous shout entered the spaceship, followed by a powerful pressure that caused all the geniuses except for Nuolanshan to bow down.

They are ultimately just geniuses, with the potential to become strong in the future, but they still appear too inexperienced when facing strong opponents.

The spaceship also stopped at the shout.

Venerable Yuan Chen frowned in displeasure and said coldly, "Kumara, are you blind?"

Thank you to Flying Pig for supporting Chaos with your February ticket.
