Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

After Jiang Chen and Luo Feng made a transaction with the Galaxy Bank in the universe, they then left Ice Iron Star in a spaceship.

They embarked on another space journey, heading back to their home planet, Earth.

Inside the spaceship's control room, Jiang Chen entered the virtual universe.

Virtual universe, Jiuxing Bay, Heilongshan Island.

In the study, Jiang Chen turned on the screen in front of him.

"So many emails." Jiang Chen sat down in his chair and opened the first email.

"Dear customer, hello."

You have just received a remittance of 1999.88 Hunyuan units from my bank's mind-bound account. Your account balance has reached the 10 Hunyuan threshold (each Hunyuan unit is equivalent to 1 trillion cosmic coins), automatically upgrading to a 'Three-Star Account'. You have also automatically become a valued three-star customer of my Cosmic Galaxy Bank. As a star customer, you possess many special privileges.

This email includes a list and explanation of some special privileges.

"A Universe Galaxy Bank"

The first email was the one confirming the money had been transferred.

"1999 Mixed Yuan Units?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but hold his breath.

What does it mean to have nearly 2000 Mixed Yuan Units?

In the general universe, the price of a galactic territory is between 1000 billion and 1 trillion cosmic coins. In other words, Jiang Chen's assets are equivalent to thousands of galactic territories.

Jiang Chen still remembers that the Tana Starfield of the Qianwu Auction is a small starfield that ranks low among the more than 13,000 starfields in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The entire starfield has a total of 668 star systems.

The final auction price was 1000 units of Hunyuan.

In other words, Jiang Chen now possesses enough wealth to purchase two small star systems!

"Master, in the universe, there are two true forms of hard currency. One is the Cosmic Crystal (Cosmic Coin), which is formed by the World Lord condensing the primordial energy of the universe. The second is the Immortal Crystal (Immortal Coin), which is a unique energy crystal formed by immortal beings, containing the power of the primordial laws of the universe."

"However, cosmic coins are used for inter-universal transactions, while immortal crystals are considered strategic reserves," Hill's voice echoed in Jiang Chen's mind. "As for 'Primordial Units,' they are used by some super-strong individuals in transactions..."

A frequently used large unit.

"Master, your current wealth is equivalent to that of a poor, newly-entered Immortal Realm expert."

"I never thought I'd possess some impoverished immortal assets now," Jiang Chen smiled, but this was just the beginning.

Jiang Chen was self-aware; he was only a three-star client, just an ordinary small-time tycoon in the vast universe, barely considered well-off.

Jiang Chen smiled and continued looking at the screen.

There are seven emails on the screen, including the ones I've already read. The first five emails are from "Cosmic Galaxy Bank", the sixth is from "Virtual Universe Company", and the seventh is from "Giant Axe Arena".

"drop."

Jiang Chen tapped the screen lightly with his fingers and opened the second email.

"Dear customer, hello."

Do you often keep large sums of money in your account and withdraw cash only when needed? By entrusting your funds to us for management, you will receive a steady stream of returns. Our primary guarantee is zero losses…

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, stretched out his finger, and gently opened the third email.

"Dear customer, hello."

Our team possesses the most advanced planetary management experience in the universe. Do you own vast planetary territories, but they aren't generating sufficient revenue? We can establish religious, family, dynasty, or academy models for you—choose any model and let us manage your planetary territory.

Jiang Chen read through the first five emails in one go.

"The second letter is from an investment department under the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, wanting me to entrust my money to them for 'financial investment'!"

"The third type is service-oriented; you pay them, and they will manage my planetary territory for me. They even have different training models like 'religious' and 'family-style'."

"The fourth letter asked me to spend money to help with investments, promising higher returns but also greater risks."

"The fifth letter was specifically designed to provide me with various services."

However, Jiang Chen has no interest in any of these things now.

Investing is definitely risky. The world of financial investment is very dark. No matter how much money you have, it may disappear in a few days.

The sixth email was from Virtual Universe Company.

Jiang Chen looked at the sixth email carefully, which was also the one he had been most looking forward to.

"Hello. From the moment you become a three-star customer, you are qualified to step into the 'Dry Witch Auction House.' In the universe, many precious items are restricted, and there are many other items that are difficult to buy even with money. Our Virtual Universe Company's 'Auction House' provides them with the opportunity to purchase many precious items."

The Ganwu Auction is held every three years.

The minimum requirement to participate in the auction is being a three-star customer of the First Universe Bank or the Galaxy Bank.

The next Qianwu Auction will be held in two years. Please see the attachment to this email for details about the auction.

Virtual Universe Company

The threshold for this Qianwu Auction is very high. The minimum requirement to participate in the auction is to be a three-star customer of one of the two super banks, so many realm lords and even immortals participate in the auction.

At this Dry Witch Auction, many incredibly precious treasures will appear, such as the "Fruit of Life," rare "Tier 5 Weapons" that only Immortal-level experts can create, and many other restricted-level weapons.

You can see them all at this auction.

For a powerful person, this auction is extremely important. Only through this auction can Jiang Chen buy more expensive and restricted treasures.

The auctions held by the Virtual Universe Company are divided into 'Elementary Auction', 'Intermediate Auction', and 'High-Level Auction'.

"For the primary auction, the minimum requirement to participate is a three-star customer."

For mid-level auctions, the minimum entry requirement is a four-star client; generally, a four-star client is an immortal being.

The minimum requirement for high-level auctions is a five-star client. Generally, only those who are not only immortals, but also the strongest among immortals, can participate.

"The next Qianwu Auction will be in two years and one month." Jiang Chen was very much looking forward to this auction.

This last email came from the Giant Axe Arena.

Jiang Chen stretched out his finger and clicked on the email, which was a notification that a VIP membership had been given away.

Upon becoming a three-star customer, you automatically become a 'Bronze VIP Member' of the Giant Axe Arena.

You can watch the live stream of the final battle in the Giant Axe Arena for free.

The email that gifted him a membership also included an attachment, which was a list of recent duels. Jiang Chen opened it directly.

"List of life-or-death battles for the next seven days".

"A total of 6201 matches?" Jiang Chen's eyes widened as he read carefully. "There are 6118 cosmic-level life-or-death battles, 82 domain lord-level life-or-death battles, and 1 world lord-level life-or-death battle."

Of course, this is only the total number of all the universe nations combined; there have only been three battles recently fought by the Qianwu universe nation.

The attached list contains 6118 life-or-death battles of cosmic significance, arranged from highest to lowest in terms of "popularity".

The most anticipated life-or-death battle was between two cosmic-level sixth-tier fighters.

The two sides in the battle are from the "Wilderness Peak Universe Kingdom".

One of them was named "Gage," a member of the Lush tribe.

On the other side, there was a man named "Hacks," a slave trader's servant.

"Gage, Hacks—" Mei Jiangchen frowned and remained silent for a moment.

Both Gage and Hawkes are considered geniuses on a cosmic level.

Gage was born on the planet Lushu, a planet with an extremely harsh living environment where monsters roam. After his birth, he showed great talent and made continuous progress, earning the appreciation of the planet's lord.

However, the lord of the planet later made a great enemy. All of the lord's planetary territories were seized, and Gage's people were sold as slaves.

Ultimately, after Gage diligently cultivated to the "Cosmic Level," he directly sold himself to the "Giant Axe Arena." The Giant Axe Arena then bought Planet Lushu from that important figure.

Gage, on the other hand, needs to fight 1000 battles in the Giant Axe Arena. If he survives, he will regain his freedom.

Hax lived on an ordinary planet, but one day, his planet caught the eye of slave traders, and he was kidnapped by a group of slave traders.

After capturing many slaves, slave traders began to subject them to "hellish" training. Some of the failed and discarded slaves were sold as slaves, while some elites continued to be trained. Hax was one of the elites.

His combat talent was also very high, and he broke through all the way to the cosmic level.

However, the slave traders felt that it wasn't worth selling Hax simply as a cosmic-level slave, so they signed a contract with him: if he could survive 1000 life-or-death battles in the Giant Axe Arena, Hax would be freed.

Gage and Hacks both fought for freedom, for their homeland, and for their loved ones.

Currently, Gaethje has 691 wins and Harker has 821 wins.

Gaiqi, a martial artist, is at the fifth level of the Domain realm.

Harks, a master of mental manipulation, is at the fourth level of the Domain realm.

Both of them reached the fourth and fifth levels of the Domain respectively at the sixth level of the Universe level, which can be considered geniuses, and their combat talents are very strong.

The spaceship will take approximately eight hours to reach Earth via interstellar travel.

Jiang Chen immediately pulled Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen, Mohanderson, and the other eight people over to watch the battle together.

The Giant Axe Arena is one of the five major powers of the human race in the universe.

In the virtual universe network, a special dimensional space has been created. In this dimensional space, there is an incredibly wide river that runs through the entire space. On the river, there are floating islands, and each island is a fighting arena.

Island No. 08921.

This is an island covered in snow, and the most magnificent building on the island is that huge arena.

In the center of the arena was an extremely spacious open area, surrounded by densely packed seats. The second, third, and fourth floors of the arena were occupied by private boxes.

Private rooms are for members only.

Ordinary spectators could only watch the game from the densely packed stands.

"I'm rooting for Gage. His knife skills are truly amazing—he's sure to win."

"Bet on Gage? Gage's odds are very low."

"I'm betting on Harks! I'm betting—60 Cosmic Coins!"

"I'm betting 100 million Cosmic Coins on Gage!"

As the live broadcast of the final battle was about to begin, the arena grew increasingly crowded. Occasionally, three-star customers would walk into the private boxes, drawing the gazes of countless ordinary viewers who felt envy and jealousy.

Jiang Chen, Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen, and the other nine quickly went upstairs and entered one of the private rooms according to the room number.

Bronze-level members have a private box and can bring their family, friends, and servants to watch the game.

The number of people you can bring is unlimited, but each private room is the same size, so the more people you bring, the more crowded the room will be.
