From star gatherer to leader of humanity

"You can encounter all sorts of strange and unusual things in the Shattered Star Sea."

"Some time ago, someone found a Star Moon Spirit Tree in the three cities of Shattered Star. Our guild leader rushed over and heard that the price was offered to be over a billion, but in the end, it was bought by an elder at an even higher price."

"And in our city, someone found a Dao artifact-level flying sword and was rewarded with 100,000 spirit stones."

The teahouse owner gazed at the rainbow-colored spaceship in the sky, muttering to himself.

After finishing his noodles, Xu Bai put down his bowl and left the noodle shop.

All of this seems to be related to him, but also unrelated; at least with his current strength, he cannot get involved in these matters.

Xu Bai returned to his residence and sent a video call to his family.

"Where's my little brother?"

"Your little brother is still cultivating in the training room," Xu Lang said.

Xu Bai glanced at the time; it was already around 11 p.m.

"Don't work too hard, balance work and rest," Xu Bai couldn't help but say.

"I told him a long time ago, but he wouldn't listen. He said that you didn't have the opportunity to cultivate before, but now that he has the opportunity, he can't let go of even the slightest bit."

"He also said that when he becomes a great cultivator, he will pay for you to marry 100 wives and build you a palace with spirit stones."

Hearing his father's words, Xu Bai burst into laughter.

"That brat~"

Xu Bai smiled and transferred another 200 million strands of spiritual energy to his family through his personal terminal.

"Let my little brother cultivate diligently. I made a fortune in the Star Gathering Team, and it's no problem for him to cultivate until he becomes a Grand Master."

Xu Lang was stunned for a moment when he saw the 200 million strands of spiritual energy that had arrived in his account.

"Xiao Bai, don't just think about making money over there. Improve your cultivation as well. As for Xiao Jun, he'll have resources when he joins the sect in the future."

"You're relying entirely on yourself here. Don't just think about supporting your family; you need to save your own energy," Zhang Wan said with concern.

"Don't worry, Mom, I know what I'm doing."

After chatting for a while, Xu Bai hung up the phone.

"Master, a glass of lemon juice will help relieve your cosmic claustrophobia." The beautiful robot butler brought over a glass of lemon juice.

Xu Bai took the lemonade, took a sip, turned to look at the beautiful robot butler, and with a thought, placed a hand on her shoulder, a green aura covering it.

Love Nest Type 3 Robot - Attributes: Five Times Computing Power [Increases its own operating speed by 5 times], Versatile [Breaks through data constraints and is proficient in multiple fields.]

The moment the data panel appeared, the beautiful robot butler's gaze towards Xu Bai changed, becoming gentle, respectful, and carrying an indescribable meaning.

"Master, please give me a name," the beautiful robot butler suddenly said.

"Name? Do you have a name you want to call me?" Xu Bai stared at the words "breaking the data shackles" on the data panel for a long time, thinking of the spaceship's intelligent attribute.

"Only names given by their owners have meaning," the beautiful robot butler said elegantly.

"In that case, your name will be Xu Ai."

Xu Ai nodded gently, her gaze towards Xu Bai softening even more.

"I will be spending most of my time in the Shattered Star Sea from now on. If you have nothing to do at home, you can gather more information that is useful to me. Before, you only improved your computing power, but there are some limitations."

"Now that restriction has been broken, you can gather intelligence to your heart's content. If you need funds, just withdraw them from my account. I'll grant you the authority to use 100 million strands of spiritual energy," Xu Bai said, pulling up his personal terminal and performing some operations.

"Yes, Master. While gathering intelligence, should I help you earn some spiritual energy?" Xu Ai's mechanical eyes flashed with a torrent of data.

"It's possible as long as you don't disclose your personal information."

Xu Bai nodded.

The next day, Xu Bai got up early and piloted his spaceship into the Shattered Star Sea.

Four days later, Xu Bai arrived at the base.

Xu Bai gently waved his hand, summoning Xu Hun from the Soul Dao Minor Realm.

Looking at the burly Xu Hun, Xu Bai immediately activated the attributes within the Myriad Soul Banner, transforming it into a spiritual weapon.

Xu Hun, whose soul had been solidified, seemed to have been sublimated once again. Although his size had not increased, the aura he exuded was several times stronger than before.

"Is this the Summoning Spirit Divine Power?" Xu Hun exclaimed in shock as he felt his body grow stronger.

"Summoning spirits? What is that?" Xu Bai asked in confusion.

"My previous master once fought against an inner disciple of the Hua Sheng Immortal Sect. That disciple used the Spirit Summoning Divine Power, and that battle almost annihilated my soul."

"It's said that the disciple summoned his weakest spirit," Xu Hun explained.

"So, in that case, you are now considered a spirit summoner." Xu Bai stroked his chin, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Yes, the aura I'm emitting right now is Spirit Summoning," Xu Hun said with certainty.

"In that case, your identity outside will be that of a spirit summoner. I'll learn some similar spells when I get back."

"Alright, I'm going to cultivate now. You can control the magic treasure mining ship to mine. Here, take this storage bag of spirit beads for your use." Xu Bai took out a storage bag containing spirit beads and handed it to Xu Hun.

"If there's anything you don't understand about how to do it, Hakimi can teach you."

"Yes, Master."

As soon as Xu Hun entered the spaceship, his mental strength inexplicably surged tenfold.

"Master, something's not right!" Xu Hun transmitted his voice.

"What's wrong?"

"My mental strength has increased tenfold!"

"I know that you can only possess this 10 times mental power inside the spaceship."

Xu Bai never expected that Xu Hun, who had transformed into a spirit weapon, could also enjoy attribute bonuses.

"That puts my mind at ease."

As Xu Bai spoke, he gently waved his hand, summoning the four secondary souls as well.

The four secondary souls, two men and two women, revealed their previous appearances after their resentment dissipated.

Xu Bai activated his attributes, transforming the four into spiritual weapons as well, resulting in a significant increase in his strength.

"Greetings, Master!"

The four secondary souls bowed.

"From now on, you will be called Xu Yi, Xu Er, Xu San, and Xu Si."

The two male souls are named Xu Yi and Xu Er, and the two female souls are named Xu San and Xu Si.

"Yes, sir!"

"You guys guard the base, I'm going to cultivate."

Actually, Xu Bai just wanted to have more people around the base so it wouldn't look so empty.

After making the arrangements, Xu Bai entered the cultivation area.

As is customary, listen to the master's explanation of the "Spiritual Energy Technique" before practicing.

Xu Bai spent 24 hours cultivating, 4 hours mentally inscribing talismans, and 8 hours resting, almost maximizing his cultivation time.

Outside the base, Xu Hun's magical mining spaceship flew back to the base, and he excitedly came to Xu Bai's side carrying a sack.

"Master, I've caught something amazing!"

Under Xu Bai's puzzled gaze, Xu Hun opened the burlap sack he was holding, and a pitiful, elfin face appeared before Xu Bai.

"Is this a Moon Spirit?" Xu Bai asked uncertainly, looking at her stunning appearance.

"While I was probing for spirit ore, I discovered a Moon Elf mining ship. Seeing an opportunity, I simply captured her!"

"The previous owner always wanted to capture a Moon Elf, but unfortunately never had the chance."
