Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Shortly after Jiang Chen and his group left, a blood-red triangular fighter jet hovered over Fog Island.

wow...

The hatch opened.

A man—with short black hair, a black coat, and black trousers—with sharp eyes, surrounded by darkness; he was the god of darkness.

He is Hong, the world's strongest man, the first chairman of the War God Palace, and the undisputed number one in the world!

"Whoosh!"

The black-haired man flew directly towards Kirishima, followed by the blood-red triangular fighter jet.

Above Kirishima.

The black-haired man stood in mid-air like a god, with eight long vines that stretched as far as the eye could see, waving angrily that made the entire Kirishima Island tremble, as if an earthquake had struck.

One by one, long vines entered Hong's side, as if they were bound by the darkness. Then more vines appeared, one by one... a total of 16 long vines!

"Dark purple in color, with such immense strength and terrifying regenerative ability, 16 of them—it perfectly matches the information recorded in the ancient civilization's ruins; it's definitely the Moyun Vine!"

"We don't even have Moyun Vine on our planet?"

The black-haired man, Hong, smiled slightly. "This Jiang Chen is quite the lucky star. I've really struck it rich this time."

"Let's give Jiang Chen some good stuff this time, since that's the share the Spirit of Plants and Trees allocated to him."

……

Hong was naturally overjoyed to have obtained the Moyun Vine, while Jiang Chen returned to the base city.

In the Jiangnan Pavilion of the Elite Training Camp in Hongning Base City.

At dawn, Jiang Chen was standing on the balcony, watching the sunrise in the east.

After Jiang Chen and Inspector Liu returned together last night, Inspector Liu arranged for Jiang Chen to return to the training camp to stay first.

Jiang Chen waited here for Hong's summons, preparing to exchange for some treasures.

As evening approached, a man and a woman dressed in black uniforms quickly arrived outside the Jiangnan Pavilion courtyard.

One of the petite women smiled and said, "Student Jiang Chen, the sect leader summons you. Please come with us."

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded and followed the two of them.

Following the familiar road, he soon arrived at the main entrance of the elite training camp, where a black luxury limousine was parked. Jiang Chen got into the car, and it slowly drove off. About twenty minutes later, the car stopped.

"Student Jiang Chen has arrived at headquarters," the woman in the black uniform said with a smile.

Jiang Chen nodded, looking at the peculiar building in front of him.

Before us is a giant spaceship-shaped building that is ten thousand meters long and a hundred meters high. This giant spaceship building has a huge hatch that is tens of meters wide.

Jiang Chen knew that this was actually a fleet mothership, but it had long been broken and could not fly. Hong thought it had strong defensive capabilities, so he used it as his base.

A beam of blue light shot out from the spaceship and enveloped Jiang Chen.

"drop!"

"Student Jiang Chen, please enter." The electronic voice announced.

Two men and women stood outside the door to guide him, and Jiang Chen went inside.

In the inner corridor, a man and a woman dressed in blue robes greeted him with smiles: "Student Jiang Chen, please follow us."

A moment later.

"This is the rest area. Please rest here, Jiang Chen. The headmaster will summon you later." The white girl in the blue robe smiled and spoke fluent Mandarin before obediently leaving.

There were already two people in the lounge: Inspector Liu and Iceberg.

"Inspector Liu, Mr. Iceberg," Jiang Chen greeted respectfully.

Iceberg was not fond of talking, so only Inspector Liu chatted with Jiang Chen for a while.

after awhile.

"Iceberg, the Master summons you." A voice rang out, and a black man in a red robe stood outside the door.

"Hmm." Iceberg stood up, still wearing the gold mask, and followed the black man in the red robe away.

After the iceberg appeared, Inspector Liu entered it, and Jiang Chen was the last to enter.

"Jiang Chen, the master of the museum summons you."

"It's finally my turn."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, stood up, and followed the black man in the red robe along the corridor. Soon they arrived at the door of a quiet room, where the black man in the red robe bowed slightly and left.

"Jiang Chen, come in." A cold voice rang out.

"Yes, Master." Jiang Chen nodded.

The reception room was completely empty and dark, with only two cushions.

Hong sat on a cushion, and Jiang Chen sat on the cushion opposite him.

The black-haired man, Hong, looked at Jiang Chen with a gentle gaze and smiled, "You discovered and reported Mist Island this time, which is a great achievement. For this achievement, you can obtain 10% of all the spirits of plants and trees, and with other merits, you will ultimately receive 15%."

"And you discovered and collected those eight willow heartwood trees all by yourself, so you can get 40% of the share."

"Yes." Jiang Chen listened obediently. This time, without the interference of the HR Alliance, they obtained more plant spirits.

"so--"

The black-haired man waved his hand. *Swoosh!*

In the pitch-black reception room, a three-dimensional virtual projection suddenly appeared, and within this projection, there were 18 images of plant spirits.

"These 18 plant spirits vary in value, but together they account for approximately 15% of the total value of all plant spirits."

The black-haired man's voice remained cold, "These 18 spirits of plants and trees are yours."

Of these 18 plant spirits, Jiang Chen only recognized the Thousand-Year Willow Heart; he didn't recognize the others.

"You can take a closer look at the value of these 18 plant spirits." As soon as the black-haired man finished speaking, a large amount of text immediately appeared next to each plant spirit in the three-dimensional virtual projection, explaining the uses of each plant spirit. Jiang Chen could see it clearly.

"The spirits of plants and trees won't have much effect on you, who has already reached the peak of a high-level war god," the black-haired man said. "Therefore, I'm giving you a chance... to exchange the spirits of plants and trees for the treasures you need."

"It's here!" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. Why did he need so many plant spirits?

We can't finish it all, and it's a waste.

The room was pitch black.

With a wave of his hand, the black-haired man created an even larger three-dimensional virtual projection in addition to the original twelve plant spirits. This projection was divided into many categories, including 'secret manuals', 'intelligent fighter jets', 'battle suits', 'weapons', and 'elixirs'.

Each category contains numerous physical projections. The sheer variety of treasures is dazzling.

"There are 65 kinds of treasures you can exchange on this exchange list," the black-haired man said.

"Look carefully." The black-haired man waved his hand again.

drop!

In the three-dimensional virtual projection, next to the 18 floating projections of plant spirits, price tags immediately appeared, with different quotes for '2 stars', '2.5 stars', and '3 stars'.

The total value is 52.5 stars.

The black-haired man looked at Jiang Chen with a mysterious smile: "You have 52.5 star-level plant spirits. You can exchange them for any item here, as long as the total price does not exceed 52.5 star-levels."

Jiang Chen nodded, his eyes shining as he looked at the items. Although he knew these items were worthless in the universe, they were definitely enough for him now.

Jiang Chen's eyes immediately caught sight of something.

From lowest to highest, the most expensive item on the entire exchange list is the "Primordial-level Intelligent Fighter," priced at 60 Stars.

Next up is the secret manual category, a supreme technique that only beings beyond the God of War can learn—"Phoenix Soaring Strike," priced at 36 Stars.

The third most expensive item is a weapon called the "Sky Shuttle," which costs 30 stars.

"The Sky Shuttle is something that Luo Feng can do without. With Babata's and his master's legacy, as well as the Arc Blade, he will have a lot of money after reaching the Hengxing level."

For Luo Feng, a psychic weapon was something he could do without, but for someone like himself who belonged to no sect or school, it was his first opportunity to come into contact with a psychic weapon.

Furthermore, the Sky-Piercing Shuttle is a low-grade, third-tier weapon. The Arc Blade Disc, on the other hand, has even lower requirements for use, belonging to a mid-grade, third-tier weapon.

The Sky-Piercing Shuttle costs around 50 billion Black Dragon Coins if purchased from the weapon shop. The Arc Blade Disc, on the other hand, costs around 200 billion!

The first item is this: the telekinetic weapon, the Sky Shuttle.

Because he has a Zerg Queen clone, it's best not to let Babata become his intelligent life form. Having him constantly by his side could easily expose problems.

The slumbering gaze of the Zerg was cast into slumber by Huyanbo. Strictly speaking, he, Babata, and Huyanbo were enemies and rivals.

Luo Feng's greatest opportunity in the early stages was the legacy of Babata and Huyanbo, so let's continue to pass it on to Luo Feng.

…………

Then there are intelligent fighter jets.

King-level Intelligent Fighter: 2 Stars

Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet: 15 stars

Primordial-level intelligent fighter jet: 60 stars

"I got more than Luo Feng, but I definitely can't exchange for the Primordial-level one, so I'll just use the Qiankun-level intelligent fighter for now."

Finally, there's the battle suit.

Among battle suits... the best one is the Black God Set.

Black God Set - 5 Stars.

"Sky Shuttle 30 stars, Fighter Jet 15 stars, Black God Set 5 stars."

"A total of 50 stars, with 2.5 stars remaining."

After thinking it through, Jiang Chen immediately said, "Master, I need the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, the Qiankun-class fighter jet, and a set of Black God armor."

"Oh." Hong looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, "I prepared a little surprise for you in here, and I didn't expect you to actually choose it."

Jiang Chen smiled sheepishly, admitting that he had a cheat code, not just luck.

The black-haired man, Hong, looked at Jiang Chen and continued, "The Black God Set is very special!"

"The Black God Set is relatively rare worldwide. Only those who successfully enter ancient civilization ruins can obtain a set of the Black God Set, and each person only has one chance to enter."

"Jiang Chen, there are rules at my Extreme Martial Arts Academy... If you directly receive the Black God Set as a reward, you must go to the Ancient Civilization Ruins to obtain another Black God Set when the time comes, and you must sell it to my Extreme Martial Arts Academy."

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

I had long planned to go to Ruins No. 9, because there was a way to break through to the planetary level there!

The black-haired man, Hong, laughed and said, "Furthermore—the true value of this Sky-Piercing Shuttle is far more than 30 stars. Its power will become even more apparent when you one day become a being surpassing the God of War."

Jiang Chen nodded. Of course, a third-tier telekinetic weapon was no joke.

"Alright, so far, you've chosen: the Sky Shuttle (30 stars), the Qiankun-class Intelligent Fighter (15 stars), and the Black God Set (5 stars). Your total value of the Grass and Tree Spirit is 52.5 stars, meaning you still have 2.5 stars left to exchange." The black-haired man, Hong, pointed to the projection of numerous exchangeable items on the virtual screen. "Tell me, which one do you choose?"

Jiang Chen looked at them, shook his head, and laughed, "No need. Of my 18 plant spirits, I'll keep the cheapest one, the 'Millennium Black Crow Root,' and the 'Millennium Willow Heart.' I'll exchange the other 16."

In the end, Jiang Chen was left with only the Thousand-Year Black Crow Root and the Thousand-Year Willow Heart, two spirits of plants.

A small amount of the root of the thousand-year-old black aconite plant can be steeped in water and drunk. This can be given to ordinary people to help their relatives reach the level of martial artists.

The thousand-year-old willow heartwood will be given to Luo Feng after he enters the elite training camp.

"Okay." The black-haired man nodded, and with a wave of his hand, all the projections disappeared.

The room fell silent again. The black-haired man, Hong, scrutinized Jiang Chen and said coldly, "Jiang Chen, your current strength is at its peak among the God of War. There's no need for you to stay in the elite training camp."

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

"I'll give you two choices," the black-haired man, Hong, continued.

"First, stay in Hongning Base City and join the Special Operations Group, or you can apply to become a training camp instructor or take on other positions in the future."

"Second, be assigned to another base city as an inspector." The black-haired man, Hong Jingjing, looked at Jiang Chen. "You choose."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I choose to stay in Hongning Base City."
