Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

At the entrance of Jiuxingwan residential area, Jiang Chen waved to the sky.

Suddenly, a carriage pulled by a winged celestial horse descended from the sky. There was a coachman on the carriage, and Jiang Chen sat directly in the back seat.

"Like taking a taxi," Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

"Sir, where to?" the driver asked.

"Let's go to the Cosmic Galaxy Bank," Jiang Chen said.

Suddenly, the celestial horse flapped its wings and took off swiftly, flying at an astonishing speed, while the carriage remained perfectly comfortable.

In the virtual universe, long distances are generally covered by fixed teleportation points, while short distances are covered by these horse-drawn carriages pulled by celestial horses.

Because everyone in the virtual universe has physical abilities comparable to a 'fourth-level apprentice,' equivalent to a junior warrior on Earth, they cannot fly and their movement speed is very slow, while using a Pegasus would be much faster.

Of course, both the fixed teleportation points and those flying cars cost money, but because it's a virtual world, the price is only about one-tenth or even one-hundredth of that in the real world.

Jiang Chen sat in the celestial horse carriage, looking down at the huge Black Dragon Mountain Island below, feeling quite comfortable and at ease.

In the clouds above, there was a floating city that was so high that it would be impossible for a fourth-level apprentice to see it from the ground.

This is the floating city on Black Dragon Mountain Island. Every island and every continent has a floating city; only those at the cosmic level or higher can access it.

A moment later, the carriage landed, and the driver, controlling the celestial horse, said with a smile, "Sir, we have arrived at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank."

"Thank you." Jiang Chen smiled as he got off the carriage; the fare had already been deducted directly from his personal account.

Virtual universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island, Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

Welcome!

Jiang Chen walked into the bank and went directly through the "self-service passage" next to the bank. He then entered a "self-service business processing" room.

Inside a sealed room.

"Please enter your account number," an electronic voice announced.

"8492-8593-KNXH-8582-6685-123." Jiang Chen quickly entered this number. This was not his own account number, but the bank account number of the Kabu Realm Lord, which Brolin had exchanged and given to him.

"Password input — beep, correct."

"User confirmed."

Boom!

What was originally an ordinary room suddenly became incredibly luxurious.

Then a stunningly beautiful female AI suddenly appeared, stood to the side, and respectfully said, "Dear four-star customer, I am AI number 008231, at your service."

"Hello." Jiang Chen smiled at the female AI, secretly pleased.

Sure enough, many realm lords thought that the guy from the Kabu realm was incredibly lucky and wealthy; he was once a four-star client.

At the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, the minimum investment for a regular account is 1 million Black Dragon Coins.

Different star-rated accounts have different requirements.

A 1-star account is something that only powerful beings at the cosmic level can achieve.

A 2-star account requires a minimum investment of 100 billion Cosmic Coins.

A 3-star account requires a minimum investment of 10 Mixed Yuan, and is generally a Realm Lord. It automatically becomes a Bronze VIP member of the Giant Axe Arena.

A 4-star account requires a minimum investment of 1 Mixed Yuan and is generally considered to be Immortal.

A 5-star account requires a minimum of 1000 million Hunyuan, and is generally reserved for powerful individuals among the Immortals. Even if all the money in the account is used up, the rating will not be downgraded within 1 million years.

It's easy to imagine how prestigious four-star and five-star accounts are.

10,000 Chaos Units! Even selling all 312 treasures obtained from the Realm Within a Realm wouldn't be enough for even a tenth of that!

Moreover, four-star accounts are generally immortals, while five-star clients are usually the strongest among immortals. How revered are they?

Therefore, this Cosmic Galaxy Bank offers many thoughtful services to its four-star and five-star customers.

"I need to check my balance first," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"beep!""

A line of data appeared on the screen of Jiang Chen's arm brace.

"1000000000000"

"10000 trillion?" Jiang Chen stared at the last currency symbol. "Cosmic currency?"

"Only one trillion cosmic coins? That's equivalent to one Hunyuan unit?" Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly.

Lord Kabu casually gave away 312 treasures, which is estimated to be worth 200-300 Chaos Units.

How could his own account only have 1 Mixed Yuan Unit?

"Dear customer, there is a recording in your account. Would you like to view it?" the female AI robot said respectfully.

Jiang Chen's expression was somewhat strange. He looked at her, nodded, and said, "Okay, open it."

A screen appeared in front of Jiang Chen, displaying an audio recording. He tapped the screen, and the recording, preserved for millions of years, began to play: "I'm happy to inform you that you've been tricked by me! Hehehe, how about that, aren't you annoyed?"

"Did you think I had a lot of money in my bank account? Hahaha, here's one Hunyuan unit to make you happy. How about that? After all that arguing, you only got one Hunyuan unit. What a disappointment. Hehehe?"

"Hahaha, aren't I very generous? I even left you one unit of Hunyuan money. Thank me!"

Gaa gaa gaa—

Jiang Chen straightened up silently, remained silent for a moment, and then smiled helplessly. He now roughly knew how this realm lord had died.

If he spent a lot of time and money on this one account, and ultimately only got 1...

The Primal Chaos Unit would definitely be furious, but he hadn't paid much at all; it was Brolin who exchanged it for him.

"Forget it, we're all dead anyway. Besides, what I need is the service of a four-star account, not the money in it." Jiang Chen thought helplessly as he continued to look at the intelligent robot.

"I need to process a batch of items."

The female AI bowed and smiled, saying, "Dear four-star customer, our Cosmic Galaxy Bank offers a 'Goods Consignment Service.' Our bank has a very strong sales network in all the 'Cosmic Nations' throughout the vast universe."

We can help you sell your products in a very short time, and we only charge a 0.1% commission.

"In addition to the 'goods consignment service,' our Cosmic Galaxy Bank also offers a 'goods purchase service,' but the purchase price is based on the standard price."

The female AI voice was clear and pleasant, with a smile and utmost respect.

"Item consignment service," Jiang Chen said directly.

Although there is a 0.1% handling fee for consigning goods, even with the 0.1% handling fee, the final total price is still much higher than the direct purchase price offered by the bank.

"These are the 158 items I need to sell." Jiang Chen quickly sent detailed information about the 158 treasures to the female AI in front of him through the virtual assistant 'Hill'.

"This is a machine-type spaceship, E9 class, with outstanding performance. Here are its details."

Jiang Chen then used Hill to transmit the data about the mechanical race's spaceship to the female AI.

That's right, he needs money. He needs a lot of money before he becomes a World Lord. As for spaceships, he already has the F8-class Qingxuan spaceship, which is not broken and only needs simple maintenance. He just needs to buy some energy crystals. Its use overlaps somewhat with that of the mechanical race's spaceship.

Furthermore, he intends to cultivate a perfect, 360-main-vine Cloud Vine, which naturally requires a large amount of money. Before reaching the Realm Lord level, it would require hundreds or thousands of Hunyuan units, and upon reaching the Realm Lord level, it would require millions of Hunyuan units.

Reaching the Immortal realm as a Realm Lord is an astronomical price, enough to bankrupt even a powerful Immortal King.

The higher the evolution of the Moyun Vine, the more difficult it is to break through to immortality. Back then, Hu Yanbo's Moyun Vine only had 108 main vines when it was at the World Lord level. However, it took Yi Ri 620 million Chaos Yuan units and some fortuitous events to finally break through to immortality.

If it were the 216 main vines, even if Hu Yanbo spent all his money, he still wouldn't be able to make the Moyun Vine immortal.

Jiang Chen had that confidence.

"Luo Feng has the Moyun Vine and the Golden Horned Beast to raise, which is why he didn't let the Moyun Vine reach its perfect state at the beginning. As for me, with just one Moyun Vine, I can definitely evolve the 360 ​​main vines of the Moyun Vine to immortality."

"If one wasn't already in perfect condition as a Realm Lord, and then broke through to 360 vines after reaching Immortality, it would require ten times the price, something even a typical King-level Immortal couldn't afford!"

Jiang Chen was also full of confidence. He was only at the Hengxing level and already possessed such enormous wealth, comparable to the assets of a Realm Lord. He did not believe that once he reached the Realm Lord level, things would only get worse.

Confidence and self-assurance are also key to becoming a strong person.

"Sell it all, exchange it for treasures and auxiliary items that I can use right now. As for the spaceship, I'll buy another E9 human spaceship and use it for now."

An E-class spaceship used by an ordinary Realm Lord costs approximately 1 trillion cosmic coins, equivalent to 1 Chaos Unit.

The immortal beings use the most advanced E-class spaceships, which can typically reach trillions of cosmic coins, equivalent to hundreds of Chaos Units.

This E-class peak mechanical race spaceship, standing 1200 meters tall, actually possesses one or two thousand mixed-element units.

Even if they were to purchase another E9-class spaceship, they would only need to spend a portion of the money; the rest could be exchanged for treasures that they and Moyun Teng could use.

"These 159 items (including the machine race spaceships) can be immediately sold in the auction areas of various cosmic nations within the 'Virtual Universe' by our Cosmic Galaxy Bank," the female AI smiled. "Please confirm—where and when you will deliver your 159 items to our bank."

"In the Qianwu Star Region, the Heilongshan Star Field, on the Ice Iron Star in the Milky Way, the time is eight days from now—" Jiang Chen reported the location and then the time.

"Time and location confirmed," the female AI smiled. "Please sign the consignment documents."

A contract floated in front of Jiang Chen.

"drop."

"The sale documents have been signed." The female AI smiled and said, "Dear four-star client, is there anything else we can do for you?"

"That's all." Jiang Chen smiled, stood up, turned and walked towards the door, opened it and went out.

Selling those 158 treasures within the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield would cause a massive uproar. However, selling them through the Cosmic Galaxy Bank across various cosmic nations would be utterly insignificant.

The 158 treasures might be worth about one-tenth of the wealth of Lord Kabu, but in the eyes of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, Lord Kabu's wealth is just a drop in the ocean and not worth mentioning at all.

After seven months, Jiang Chen and his group returned to Bai, a life-bearing planet very close to Earth—the Ice Iron Star.

In early April 2063, Jiang Chen and his group set off to leave Earth.

蓝星时间，2063年11月15号上午9点35分，宇宙飞船进入冰铁星。

At this moment, on a deserted island on Ice Iron Star, there stands an incredibly magnificent spaceship with the "Cosmic Galaxy Bank" logo on its fuselage. The spaceship is shaped like a sword, giving it an unparalleled, dreamlike feel.

"Master, are we just going to give it to them like this? Won't they kill us and steal it?" Wu Xintong asked worriedly, standing next to Jiang Chen.

"Heh, just kidding. This is the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. Even if its value is thousands or tens of thousands of times greater than these treasures, they wouldn't do something like killing someone to steal their treasures," Nuolanshan said disdainfully from the side.

On his way here, Nuolanshan had already been enslaved by Jiang Chen's soul. With a slave chip inside him, he was completely unable to resist.

In the end, Nuolanshan became the last soul slave of his Hengxing star, and naturally now he has the utmost respect for Jiang Chen and is obedient to him from the bottom of his heart.

"That's right, Nuolanshan is right." Jiang Chen nodded with a smile. "Everyone, don't worry."

Norlan Mountain is a cosmic-level powerhouse who has lived for a long time, and is even known as a cosmic-level ninth-order warrior with the title of cosmic-level giant axe warrior. Naturally, he is more knowledgeable than these slaves.

Jiang Chen looked at the spaceship belonging to the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. It was an E-class spaceship, and the most advanced E-class spaceship at that, representing the Cosmic Galaxy Bank's immense wealth.

The Cosmic Galaxy Bank and the Universe First Bank are two super banks that value reputation the most. Even countless immortals deposit their money in these two banks.

"Furthermore, when I went to deliver the goods, the transaction was monitored by the 'banking intelligence system' attached to the spaceship."

"Those bank employees would never dare to kill and rob," Jiang Chen explained with a smile.

During the conversation, Jiang Chen had already walked up to the staff of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

Outside the hatch of the sword-shaped spaceship stood three men dressed in Star River Bank uniforms. One of them was a "Domain Lord Powerhouse," and the other two were also at the ninth level of the Universe level.

"Sir, please give me your goods." The domain lord smiled humbly and politely, speaking through his intelligent quantum computer.

They also knew that there was only one cosmic-level being in front of them, while the other three were all little guys at the epoch level.

However, since the transaction was being recorded by the bank's intelligent system, he had to maintain respect for his client.

The thought of a domain lord showing respect to a star-level being made him feel uneasy.

"These are the goods." Jiang Chen handed over a spatial ring.

"This is a spaceship." Jiang Chen waved his hand again, and a huge pyramid-shaped mechanical spaceship appeared next to him.

With his own bodyguards and slaves beside him, and the staff of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank opposite him, he was naturally not afraid of exposing this huge storage space.

After all, every item traded here is priceless.

A mesmerizing stream of light shot into the space ring from within the spaceship, and two cosmic-level beings, carrying various instruments, flew into the mechanical race's spaceship. After only a moment, a voice rang out: "Cargo confirmed."

"Sir, the transaction is successful. Thank you for your support of our Cosmic Galaxy Bank." The Domain Lord expert bowed slightly, and the two Cosmic-level experts beside him also bowed.

"Thank you, we'll be going now." Jiang Chen smiled slightly, turned around and left.

The domain lord and two cosmic-level beings boarded the spaceship and returned inside. All three had strange expressions on their faces.

"The leader is actually a Star-level being, while the Cosmic-level being is like a servant. What's their background?"

"It's so...uncomfortable that I had to bow to a Celestial-level being."

The domain lord beside him frowned and said, "A cosmic-level servant? I don't know, probably a scion of some powerful family, perhaps the only son of an immortal family or something."

Their team typically serves "four-star" or "five-star" clients, and under normal circumstances, four-star clients are usually "immortals".

"Alright, that's enough talking here. Just don't leak any client information, or the bank will take action against you!" the green-haired domain lord shouted.

"Yes, sir."

The two cosmic-level commanders respectfully accepted the order.

The Cosmic Galaxy Bank places great importance on its reputation; if they dare to leak even a little bit of information about a star-level client, the bank will take immediate action.

This is why Jiang Chen can confidently handle the treasures through the Cosmic Galaxy Bank; of course, all of this requires a service fee.
