Everyone's playing Red Giant? I, Black Hole, devour everything!

Lu Xuejian's brows furrowed even more.

Of course she knew.

The head of the Zhao family once suggested to the Lu family that she marry Zhao Tianyu.

With the two powerful families joining forces, their position in the Seventh Star District will be further solidified.

However, Lu Xuejian refused this offer from the very beginning.

The reason she didn't go to school in Tianhai City but came to Lancheng was to avoid this marriage arrangement, so she wouldn't have to see it and be bothered by it.

"Zhao Tianyu," she said coldly, "I already gave you an answer about that matter. Impossible is impossible. Don't waste your time!"

Zhao Tianyu's smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

He shrugged, his tone dismissive: "Lu Xuejian, why are you doing this? You know, in this Seventh Star District, besides me, Zhao Tianyu, who else is worthy of you?"

"If you're willing, our two companies can join forces and the entire Seventh Star Sector will be ours!"

"I can even share half of this nebula secret realm with you."

"How about it, think about it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuejian's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Zhao Tianyu, do you think that everything in this world can be bought and sold with the name of your Zhao family?"

Zhao Tianyu didn't speak, but his expression had changed slightly.

Lu Xuejian continued, "Look at yourself! Second on the newbie leaderboard, sounds impressive, right?"

"But do you know what the combat power index of the person ranked number one is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tianyu's face darkened instantly.

Twelve thousand eight.

These are numbers he can't erase.

He, the young master of the prestigious Zhao family and the son of the leader of the Hegemony Guild, was actually outscored by a poor kid who appeared out of nowhere by a full nine thousand points?!

This is the greatest humiliation of his life!

"Lu Xuejian, what do you mean?" Zhao Tianyu's voice turned cold, and his tone was already tinged with anger.

"It doesn't mean anything." Lu Xuejian looked at him calmly. "I just want to tell you that you're showing off here, thinking you're invincible, but in front of others, you're not even worth a second."

Zhao Tianyu's face turned completely cold.

He stared intently at Lu Xuejian, his gaze extremely dark: "Lu Xuejian, you're courting death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dozens of stars behind him simultaneously burst into dazzling light.

A massive gravitational field swept over Lu Xuejian, crushing down upon her.

The novice observers around them all paled and hurriedly steered their stars backward to avoid the danger.

Although they were also unhappy with Zhao Tianyu, none of them dared to step forward at this time.

After all, behind Zhao Tianyu is an entire hegemonic guild!

"Lu Xuejian, I'm giving you one last chance," Zhao Tianyu said coldly. "Take back what you just said, then agree to the marriage, and we'll pretend today never happened."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting you withdraw from this sector battle early!"

Lu Xuejian gritted her teeth, and the star's light flickered violently under the suppression of the other party's gravitational field.

But she still didn't back down.

"Zhao Tianyu, you dare to touch me? Aren't you afraid of the Lu family—"

"Your Lu family?" Zhao Tianyu interrupted her disdainfully. "Your Lu family may be powerful, but so what? In this Seventh Star District, my Zhao family calls the shots! If your Lu family doesn't know what's good for them, we'll devour them sooner or later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his gravitational field strengthened again.

Lu Xuejian's star was pressed down and trembled continuously, and its light became dimmer and dimmer.

Just then, a calm voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

"Make way."

The sound wasn't loud, but the moment it rang out, the previously noisy crowd fell silent in unison.

Everyone turned their scrutinizing gaze toward the direction from which the sound came.

A small, dim, yellowish star was slowly drifting over from behind the crowd.

This star looks unremarkable.

It wasn't very big, only a few times larger than the original star.

Its brightness was also unremarkable, emitting a weak, dim yellow light, like a broken light bulb that could go out at any moment.

Anyone present could easily show off their own star, and it would look far more impressive than this one.

But it was precisely this inconspicuous little star that made many people's hearts skip a beat.

Because they saw the observer information for this star.

Lin Tian.

"Holy crap, it's Lin Tian!"

"That's Lin Tian, ​​the one who's number one on the leaderboard?!"

"That's it! The one with zero brightness and zero volume!"

"Why is he here too? This is going to be interesting!"

A murmur rippled through the crowd, and all eyes turned to the dim, yellowish star.

The crowd that had been completely packed together suddenly parted to the sides, making way for Lin Tian.

Zhao Tianyu's gaze also fell on Lin Tian.

His face instantly turned even more gloomy.

"You're Lin Tian?"

Zhao Tianyu spoke coldly.

Lin Tian ignored him and slowly walked through the crowd until he arrived in front of the cosmic barrier.

"You fucking—"

Just as Zhao Tianyu was about to speak, Lu Xuejian spoke first.

"Lin Tian." Her voice held a hint of surprise, along with a complex mix of emotions, "Why are you here?"

"I came here because I had the coordinates." Lin Tian's answer was simple, as if he was too lazy to waste any more words on the matter.

Lu Xuejian was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but take a few more glances at the dim yellow star.

Is this the black hole that turned the entire Seventh Star Region's newbie leaderboard upside down?

It doesn't look like it at all.

"Lu Xuejian, do you want to go in?" Lin Tian suddenly asked.

Lu Xuejian nodded subconsciously, then glanced at the cosmic barrier blocking her way with a hint of helplessness: "I want to go in, but I can't."

Why can't I get in?

"Can't you see? The Hegemonic Guild has set up a cosmic barrier here; they want to monopolize this secret realm."

"Then why can they set it up, but others can't?"

Lu Xuejian was taken aback by the question, then a helpless bitter smile appeared on her lips: "Because they are the Hegemonic Guild, because they are from the Zhao family of Tianhai City, they call the shots in this Seventh Star District."

Lin Tian remained silent for two seconds.

Lu Xuejian thought he had finally realized the seriousness of the situation and was about to say something more.

But then they heard Lin Tian speak in a very calm tone.

"They're in charge, what does it have to do with me?"

These words immediately caused an uproar among those around them.

Lu Xuejian was also stunned.

These words were spoken very lightly, so lightly that they even gave people a sense of nonchalance.

But it is precisely this nonchalance that makes one feel a deep-seated arrogance.

In the Seventh Star District, there are those who dare to disregard the dominant guilds.

But those people are either already famous big shots, or they're just plain stupid.

Lin Tian, ​​however, is clearly not the latter.

"Lin Tian!" Zhao Tianyu's voice finally exploded at this moment, "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Do you know what this has to do with you?" Lin Tian finally turned his gaze to Zhao Tianyu.

Zhao Tianyu's face turned bright red.

The dozens of stars of the hegemonic guild behind him also burst into dazzling light at that moment.

The immense gravitational field pressed down on Lin Tian like a storm, scattering the surrounding interstellar dust in all directions under its terrifying pressure.

"You damn poor bastard, you think you can act tough in front of me just because you triggered the hidden route?!" Zhao Tianyu practically roared. "Do you even know that in this star sector, taking your life is as simple as saying a word to me!"

"My father is the head of the Zhao family. For us, crushing you is easier than crushing an ant!"

"Who do you think you are, Lin Tian?!"

Lin Tian's light remained dim and yellow as always, showing no fluctuations.

He simply listened calmly as Zhao Tianyu finished uttering the last word, then sighed softly.

"So noisy."

After he finished speaking, he moved.

The gravitational field of the primordial black hole was released without reservation in that instant!

A silent, invisible force, powerful enough to distort spacetime, enveloped Zhao Tianyu's dozens of stars.

This gravity is completely different from the gravitational field emitted by ordinary stars.

While the gravitational field of an ordinary star also has a pulling force, the feeling is one of being "pulled," as if an invisible rope is wrapped around you and dragging you in a certain direction.

You can struggle, you can resist, and if the mass is large enough, you can even break free in the opposite direction.

However, the gravitational field of the primordial black hole does not give the feeling of being "pulled" at all.

That was a kind of "fall".

It's as if the earth suddenly split open into a bottomless abyss beneath your feet.

You have nowhere to hold on, nowhere to lean on, and you are held tightly by gravity, falling downwards relentlessly.

This is a true gravitational field!
