Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

Seventeen months of voyage through the dark universe passed in the blink of an eye. Beibei's voice rang in Zhou Yuan's mind precisely on time: "Master, we are about to arrive at Nan Yun Star. We will be traversing the universe and arriving at Nan Yun Star in ten minutes."

Zhou Yuan, who was in seclusion in the core chamber studying the fundamental laws of earth, slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. Seventeen months of cultivation had deepened his understanding of the fundamental laws of earth, and his combat power had also increased considerably.

He stretched and loosened his muscles, making a series of crisp cracking sounds, then got up and walked towards the spaceship control room.

"Finally arrived." Zhou Yuan looked out at the darkness and murmured to himself. He couldn't wait to return to the normal universe and see the legendary Nan Yun Star.

As the spaceships slowed to a standstill, the two ships controlled by Beibei began to exit the dark universe. After a violent spatial fluctuation, the two ships appeared in space near Nanyun Star. Zhou Yuan looked through the porthole and a huge planet came into view.

"Beibei, virtual outdoor scenery, 100%," Zhou Yuan said.

brush!

Zhou Yuan suddenly felt as if he were in a vast starry sky, with the surrounding scenery incredibly clear. In the distance, Nan Yun Star resembled a giant sapphire, radiating a mesmerizing light.

The planet is also surrounded by four satellites, each with its own unique landscape and color, making it a beautiful sight.

As the spaceship drew closer to Nanyun Star, the entire planet's drifting white clouds and azure sea could be clearly seen with the naked eye.

"drop!"

"Master, traction signal received. The spaceship will follow the traction signal to the planet's docking port," Beibei informed Zhou Yuan upon receiving the traction signal.

He knew that every planet had strict navigation regulations, and spaceships were absolutely not allowed to fly around recklessly. They had to enter designated docking ports for inspection and registration. Of course, if you were powerful enough, you could simply fly into the planet's interior without anyone daring to object.

Nanyun Star belongs to the Zichen Universe Kingdom and is a core commercial planet. Even world-class powerhouses dare not directly intrude; only powerful immortal gods can enter directly. If it were the capital star of the Zichen Empire, only cosmic rulers could fly in directly.

As the spaceship passed through the atmosphere, Zhou Yuan immediately saw a massive spaceship docking port below, visible through the virtual environment. The port was incredibly large, capable of accommodating tens of millions of spaceships simultaneously. Numerous spaceships, varying in size from a few dozen meters to over ten thousand meters long, were docked within.

These spaceships come from all corners of the universe; some are interstellar merchant ships, some are exploration ships, and some are private yachts. Each spaceship represents a story.

"Signal received, we're heading to Area C." Upon receiving the docking signal, BeiBei controlled the spaceship to fly towards the docking port, Area C.

The docking ports are divided according to the ship's class, categorized by AE level. Class A is the lowest, and Class E is the highest. Class E ships are generally the vehicles of powerful realm lords or immortal gods. Zhou Yuan's two ships are both Class C, so they were naturally assigned to dock in Zone C. There are many ships in Zone C, but each ship maintains a certain distance from the others, in an orderly manner.

The spaceship descended slowly and finally landed steadily on the tarmac of the docking port. Zhou Yuan stood up, stretched his limbs, and then pressed the button for the hatch.

The hatch slowly opened, and a breath of fresh air rushed in, carrying a faint fragrance of flowers and the scent of the sea breeze.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and felt much more energetic.

Zhou Yuan flew out of the cabin and landed on the tarmac. At this moment, a burly man with blue skin, who was 2.5 meters tall and wearing a blue uniform, flew over and landed in front of Zhou Yuan.

He wore a port staff badge on his shoulder and looked very professional.

He was humble and polite, and greeted Zhou Yuan with a smile, saying, "Respected sir, welcome to Nanyun Star. Your spaceship's parking fee is 500 Zichen Coins per year and 800 Zichen Coins per year, with any period less than one year charged as one year. Here is your parking card."

As he spoke, he handed Zhou Yuan a silver card with both hands. The card had a "C" mark on it and a unique serial number.

Zhou Yuan casually tossed out a Cosmic Coin and said, "Keep the change." One Cosmic Coin was equivalent to 2000 Purple Star Coins, enough to cover the parking fees for two spaceships for a year.

The burly, blue-skinned man accepted the cosmic coins, his smile widening even further: "Thank you for your generosity, sir. Please feel free to contact our staff if you require anything."

After saying this, he bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

"Beibei, notify the Cosmic Galaxy Bank to come and collect the batch of cosmic crystals I want to deposit," Zhou Yuan said to Beibei. He planned to deposit the cosmic crystals he had mined directly into the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, which would not only be safe but also convenient to access.

The Cosmic Galaxy Bank and the First Bank of the Universe are both among the five major powers of the human race. They are powerful, reputable, and among the most popular banks in the universe.

Zhou Yuan had previously opened an account at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, so this time he naturally chose to store his money there.

"Yes, Master. I have sent an email to the Cosmic Galaxy Bank's business department on Nanyun Star." After receiving Zhou Yuan's instructions, Bei Bei immediately sent an email to the Cosmic Galaxy Bank on Nanyun Star through the virtual universe. The email detailed Zhou Yuan's identity, account information, and the amount of cosmic crystals to be deposited.

A moment later, three men dressed in uniforms from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank flew over. All three were at the ninth level of the cosmic realm, each with a recorder clipped to their chest, and they looked very serious. The man in the lead wore a black uniform embroidered with a gold star emblem, suggesting he held a high position.

The three men flew to Zhou Yuan's side. The man in the lead bowed slightly and said, "Are you Mr. Zhou Yuan?"

Zhou Yuan nodded and replied, "Yes."

"Mr. Zhou, please give me the cosmic crystals you need to deposit into my bank. I need to count them, and the entire counting process needs to be recorded," the leading man said, his voice carrying a hint of respect.

"Okay, the cosmic crystals are mainly on my two spaceships. Please come and take inventory." After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he led the three employees of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank to the cargo hold of the captured CW191 spaceship. At the same time, he mentally instructed Bei Bei to open the cargo hold: "Bei Bei, open the cargo hold of CW191."

Upon receiving the notification, Beibei opened the warehouse, revealing a mountain of cosmic crystals. The three employees of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank's eyes lit up at the sight of so many crystals, but they quickly regained their composure. They were all seasoned veterans; while the amount of cosmic crystals was considerable, it wasn't enough to cause them to lose their composure.

The three staff members immediately began to count the cosmic crystals. They were skilled and had a clear division of labor, and quickly finished counting the cosmic crystals on the CW191 spaceship.

Zhou Yuan also handed over the cosmic crystals from his storage equipment to three employees of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. The three employees carefully counted each cosmic crystal to ensure the quantity was accurate.

In a short while, the cosmic crystals in both spaceships and storage equipment had been inventoried, with Zhou Yuan keeping less than a thousand cubic meters of cosmic crystals as spares. These cosmic crystals were the purest crystals of primordial energy, emitting a faint glow and looking extremely tempting.

After the count was completed, the staff of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank said to Zhou Yuan, "Mr. Zhou, we have counted a total of 1025621 cubic cosmic crystals, equivalent to 10.25621 million cosmic coins. Would you like to deposit them directly into your account?"

"Yes, deposit it directly into my account. The account number is: 9527-0086-WDZH-0011-WHZZ-911," Zhou Yuan said.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, please check your account information and verify your identity. The deposit will be credited to your account once your identity is confirmed," the leading man said.

Zhou Yuan completed the identity verification process in the virtual universe. A short while later, his account received a notification that 10.25621 million cosmic coins had been successfully deposited into his account. Looking at the numbers in his account, Zhou Yuan was filled with joy.

At the same time, Zhou Yuan also received an email from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, informing him that his account had been upgraded to a 1-star user.

The Cosmic Galaxy Bank has deposit requirements for star-level accounts. Only those with more than 1 million Cosmic Coins can meet the standard of a one-star user. Zhou Yuan had never had so many funds before.

"Mr. Zhou, are you selling the silver and molten star ore in your spaceship? Our bank can collect them on your behalf." While counting the cosmic coins, the staff discovered the minerals in Zhou Yuan's spaceship. These minerals would be a considerable business even for a cosmic-level entity, so they asked.

Their bank not only provides deposit and loan services, but also collects various mineral resources on behalf of others, charging a certain handling fee in the process.

"I'll sell if the price is right. What's the price for Flowing Silver and Rongxing Ore?" Zhou Yuan replied. He wasn't very familiar with the prices of these minerals and needed to find out.

"Silver can be purchased at 50 Universe Coins per ton, and Star-Melting Ore at 25 Universe Coins per ton," the staff member quoted. This price was similar to what Zhou Yuan had found in the virtual universe, and since it was settled in Universe Coins, it was very cost-effective.

After all, banks can exchange Universe Coins for Purple Chen Coins at the exchange rate, but they won't exchange Purple Chen Coins for Universe Coins. On the black market, you have to pay extra for Purple Chen Coins to get Universe Coins in return.

Thinking it over, Zhou Yuan readily agreed. He decided to sell the Flowing Silver Essence as well, saying, "Okay, at your price. Do you buy Flowing Silver Essence?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Zhou, how much refined silver do you have? We can buy it at 85 yuan per ton." Upon hearing that it was refined silver, a rare D-grade metal that was even more expensive than ordinary E-grade metals, the staff member quickly replied. Refined silver is an extremely rare metal with a wide range of uses and extremely high value, and their bank was very willing to buy it.

Upon hearing the price, Zhou Yuan decided to sell the Silver Essence. Although Silver Essence was rare, he didn't need it right now; selling it and exchanging it for Cosmic Currency would be more practical. So he directly replied, "I can sell it for this price."

After speaking, Zhou Yuan handed the Flowing Silver Essence from his storage equipment to a staff member of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. The staff member carefully took the Flowing Silver Essence, examined it thoroughly, and after confirming that it was genuine, a satisfied smile appeared on their face.

After inventorying the goods to be sold, Zhou Yuan received payment under the guidance of the staff. The Silver Flow and Star Fusion Ore sold for a total of 4000 billion Zi Chen Coins, equivalent to 2 million Universe Coins, while the Silver Flow Essence sold for 3200 billion Zi Chen Coins, equivalent to 16 billion Universe Coins.

Adding to the previous 10.25621 billion cosmic coins, Zhou Yuan now has 28.25621 billion cosmic coins in his account, which is a huge sum of money for a cosmic-level entity.

After completing all the formalities, the three staff members bowed respectfully to Zhou Yuan and said, "Mr. Zhou, thank you for your trust and support. If you need any other business in the future, please feel free to contact us." After saying that, they flew away with the Flowing Silver, the Fusion Star Ore, and the Flowing Silver Essence.

Zhou Yuan watched their departing figures, his heart filled with emotion. He hadn't expected to become a billionaire so quickly; something he'd never dared to dream of before. Next, he would buy nutrient solutions and begin cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.
