Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

The Virtual Universe Corporation controls the economic lifeline of the human race. The economy of each universe is basically monopolized, and various business groups, powerful companies, etc., are all controlled by the Virtual Universe Corporation.

Especially killing fields, which belong entirely to the Virtual Universe Company.

Each branch of the universe kingdom is headed by three giants: the military, commerce, and armed forces. These three giants hold a pivotal position, and neither kings nor any other forces dare to disrespect them.

So I received an invitation.

These families all attach great importance to this.

However, many kings and nobles did not know much about Shen Ping. They only knew that he was the most outstanding genius in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's genius battle, and that he was the one who won first place and obtained a spot in the Primal Secret Realm.

As for the others...

I know very little about it.

Firstly, Shen Ping is a member of the original secret realm. Whether it's the Tongtian Bridge, his daily cultivation, or his influence on the progress of other geniuses, these matters are only known to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company. Secondly, these kings and nobles rarely pay attention to the affairs of these young juniors, at most they will occasionally learn about them during the Genius Battle.

No one cares about things that don't concern them.

Not to mention these long-lived kings and nobles, who have experienced too much and seen too many geniuses, but very few of them have been able to grow up. After all, the threshold of immortality alone has stumped too many geniuses.

Furthermore, the Gu Ting Universe Kingdom did not have many outstanding talents who stood out in the Genius Battle; the best among them were those who entered the Heavenly Region. Therefore, these kings and nobles did not pay much attention to them.

In fact.

Including Marquis Qianshan, Marquis Jixue, and Marquis Biling, none of them expected that members of the Primal Secret Realm would be released. If it weren't for more than three years of preparation, they would still be completely dumbfounded.

It should be noted that when a domain lord is sent to a post outside the region, he or she takes office in his or her hometown.

It is extremely rare for someone like Shen Ping to be sent to another universe.

But since it already exists...

All kings and nobles, and even the three great powers, had to treat them with seriousness and enthusiasm.

"Haha, Marquis of Qianshan... I, Marquis Luyong, am extremely pleased to be invited by you!"

The burly giant, over three meters tall with scales on his face, laughed heartily. His gaze fell on Shen Ping, and he said enthusiastically, "This must be Shen Ping. He is indeed a handsome man with a bright future. It is an honor for me, Lu Yonghou, to have him attend this welcoming banquet."

The various compliments coming from this nobleman's mouth were really awkward, especially looking at the other party's earnest expression of flattery, Shen Ping really wanted to turn away.

But he had to listen attentively and exchange pleasantries with them.

Then came the second, the third...

When all the invited kings and nobles arrived.

The banquet had just officially begun.

Sparrow Spirit stayed by Shen Ping's side without leaving for a moment, her eyes sweeping over every king and noble, and reminding them to keep their distance when they met. Although this distance was nothing in the event of a real outburst, it would at least give them a moment to react.

In the corner.

Seated among them was a king whose appearance was similar to that of a human from Earth. Compared to the other kings, he was the weakest, and the seat he was assigned was the very back of the table. He would only be seated after the other kings had gotten to know Shen Ping.

"Yue'e".

"You are the most outstanding disciple of the Yun family, and you even almost entered the core level of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, but your strength is not enough to enter this kind of occasion. Yet I still brought you here. Do you know why?"

Yun Tianhou said in a low voice.

Immortal divine power also enveloped the surroundings.

Yun Yue'e wore a respectful expression, but inwardly she was very puzzled. This time, the clan received an invitation to the welcoming banquet, and many clansmen wanted to go along because attending such a banquet was a symbol of status. Being taken by the clan leader meant that one was highly valued, so the competition for the Realm Lord position within the clan was extremely fierce, all for this one spot.

But what happened in the end?

One of the most important spots, however, fell to her, a domain lord-level individual.

Not only was she confused.

The clan's realm lord and other powerful domain lords were also puzzled.

However, no one dared to raise any objection to the clan leader's choice.

"The moon moth is unaware."

Yun Tianhou smiled. He looked at his descendant, who was separated from him by countless generations, and said seriously, "Because you are the most beautiful and elegant in the family. This welcome banquet was prepared for Shen Ping, who was transferred here. As you can see, even the three giants are extremely enthusiastic, and the other kings and marquises are eager to say more compliments than they have ever given since they started cultivating."

"When I, your ancestor, befriend Shen Ping later, I will say many flattering things that I would never normally say. So if you can catch his eye, my Yun family will receive a lot of help. At least during the time he serves as the Inspector, we will receive a significant amount of resources from the Virtual Universe Company's branch!"

Speaking of which...

He narrowed his eyes. "I specifically searched for information about this Shen Ping. Other geniuses rarely have wives, but he has several. Moreover, it is said that when he was in Chaos City and at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, he often returned to Black Dragon Mountain Island, which shows that he is a genius who values ​​family ties. This is very rare and also a great opportunity."

"Yue'e, our Yun family doesn't look much different from this Shen Ping. Do you know who his teacher is?"

Yun Yue'e suddenly realized that the clan leader had brought her here for this reason. To be honest, the moment she heard the reason, she felt a little sad for herself. As the most outstanding and talented descendant of the Yun family, she actually had to use her appearance to please others.

This was a disgrace to her, who was determined to become a strong person.

But the clan chief's decision.

She couldn't change it.

"The moon moth is unaware."

"It is the Supreme Being of the Universe!"

Yun Tianhou's voice was deep and resonant, "A cosmic venerable with strength equal to that of a cosmic ruler!"

Yun Yue'e's eyes widened suddenly. She was only one step away from the core of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. In addition, she came from a royal family in the Ancient Ting Cosmic Kingdom, and her teacher was a Marquis-level Immortal. Of course, she knew how powerful the Cosmic Venerable was.

Even the most outstanding core members of the Mercenary Alliance might not be accepted as disciples by the Universe Venerable. Unexpectedly, Shen Ping's teacher is actually the Universe Venerable!

No wonder the three giants were so enthusiastic.

No wonder the usually aloof kings and nobles are so humble.

Yun Tianhou continued, "As long as you can become one of his confidants, you will not only receive the full support of my Yun family, but you may also be able to enter the core of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance with his resources."

"Now you understand why I brought you in."

The Moon Moth nodded repeatedly, "The Moon Moth understands!"

There are many important opportunities in a person's life.

Including geniuses.

If you miss it, it will be very difficult to get it again later.

Shen Ping, standing before her, was the greatest opportunity she had ever encountered in her cultivation journey.

They are both geniuses.

She couldn't even get into the core level.

But the other party not only became the inspector of the Ancient Ting Universe Kingdom, but also had a Universe Venerable standing behind him!

The gap is enormous.

Even becoming someone close to him wouldn't be considered a subservience.

In that instant.

The Moon Moth finally understood.

As Shen Ping drew closer, she became increasingly nervous.

Looking at the group of marquises who had brought their female relatives with them, Yun Tianhou couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, none of them are fools. They all know that this Shen Ping values ​​family ties and wants to bring his clan's younger generation to try their luck!"

"Unfortunately, none of you meet his aesthetic standards!"

After learning that the Yun family members looked similar to Shen Ping, Yun Tianhou knew that his opportunity had come. It was true that he was a king of the Ancient Ting Universe Kingdom, but apart from when he first established the kingdom and met the ruler of the Ancient Ting Kingdom, he had basically never met him before.

But this Shen Ping is exceptionally outstanding.

Furthermore, they have a cosmic master as their teacher.

Therefore, as long as you have a relationship with him, it also means that there is a cosmic venerable one behind him!

Leaving aside other resource allocations, the enormous benefits brought by this identity alone will greatly benefit the Yun family.

at this point.

He knew it, and the other kings and nobles knew it even better.

Like Lu Yonghou, who flattered Shen Ping from beginning to end, wasn't he just trying to get in touch with him and then seize the opportunity to obtain some resources from the three giants?

For the sake of the family.

Not shameful.

His gaze was fixed on Shen Ping.

I saw him walking over.

"They're here!"

He whispered something.

Yun Tianhou hurriedly got up to greet him, "Haha, Shen Ping, I've been paying attention to you since the Genius Battle. I thought you were confident you could get first place, and I didn't expect you to actually get a spot in the Primal Secret Realm. After you entered Chaos City, it became difficult to get any other news from you. But I, your junior, admire you very much."

"She's a genius too, but she's nowhere near as good as you, Shen Ping!"

Done.

He glanced sideways and gave Yunyue'e a meaningful look.

Each prince and nobleman has only a short time to speak with Shen Ping, mainly because there are quite a few princes and nobles, and there is a banquet to be held later, so it is impossible to waste too much time.

Yun Yue'e maintained her smile, "Hello, Shen Ping, my name is Yun Yue'e. I wonder if I could get your autograph? I've admired you ever since I saw your performance in the Genius Battle, but I never knew how I could get your autograph. Now I've finally gotten my chance!"

She is indeed very beautiful.

Not only are her features exquisite, but her eyelids are also slightly narrow and her lips are thin, giving her a delicate and refined appearance, yet she also exudes a touch of charm and allure.

Besides that, there's her figure.

She's basically like Brolin and Qi Yue'er, with a curvy figure that can arouse the most primal urges in your body with just one glance.

Although Shen Ping knew that this woman named Yun Yue'e didn't truly admire him—a fact evident in her eyes—her intentions were clear. It was rare to see someone who looked so much like a human from Earth, and besides, he needed a royal family from the Ancient Thunder Universe Kingdom to help develop his own clan. Therefore, he smiled and said, "Sure, where do you want me to sign in?"

Suppressing her shyness, Yun Yue'e bit her lip and said, "I hope you can sign it on my arm, okay?"

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion...

She could tell you about even more secret places.

no way.

Since she couldn't make a choice, she could only let things take their course.

Shen Ping nodded. "Okay."

As she spoke, she wrote her name on Yunyue'e's arm.

The surrounding nobles who witnessed this scene were immediately filled with regret. Why hadn't they thought of this? If they had let their younger relatives do the same, they could have built closer ties and then used this as an excuse to get closer to each other in the future. Perhaps things would have naturally progressed from there.

It's too late to regret it now.

Yun Tianhou's eyes lit up slightly. He hadn't expected his junior to be so clever, actually coming up with such a brilliant idea.

And most importantly, Shen Ping actually signed it.

What does this illustrate?

This indicates that he was interested in the moon moth.

We got to know each other briefly.

Yun Tianhou didn't say much; some things were best left unsaid.

As the banquet progressed to the halfway point...

The atmosphere became much more harmonious.

Many princes and nobles went to talk to Shen Ping one after another. The three giants had previously reminded him that Shen Ping intended to do some business in the Ancient Ting Universe Kingdom. They were just worried about not having anything to talk about, and now they had found it.

Every king or nobleman owned property to varying degrees and ran various businesses, especially in the energy sector, where competition was fierce.

This is similar to the kings and nobles of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

In the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the Shen family can work in the energy sector, given their extensive network of connections. However, in the Guting Universe Kingdom, they cannot be so high-profile for the time being; they should start with what the Shen family excels at.

"Shen Ping, don't worry, I'll have family members who run businesses come and make arrangements as soon as I get back. I'll also find you a good location and set up the company structure first!"

"I wonder what Shen Ping's views are on the mining industry. More than half of the metal mineral resources in the entire Gu Ting Universe Kingdom belong to my Yan family..."

have to say.

These kings and nobles could easily pick out any industry that had more than ten thousand Hunyuan units, and all of them had excellent development prospects, making them truly lucrative targets.

Clearly, these nobles were willing to do anything to get to know Shen Ping. After all, everyone could see the enthusiasm of the three giants. What they were giving now would be returned many times over by the Virtual Universe Company branch in the future. Everyone wanted to do that kind of deal.

As the banquet was drawing to a close.

Led by Yun Tianhou, Yun Yue'e came to Shen Ping again. After a brief chat, Yun Tianhou smiled and said, "My junior has been struggling to grasp the essence of the laws. You are all the same age, so you can exchange insights with each other."

"I'll leave Moonmoth in Blackmoon City for the time being."

Shen Ping glanced at Yun Yue'e, who was looking down with a shy expression, and nodded with a smile, "Alright, if you have time, I'd be willing to exchange insights on the laws."

"good!"

Marquis Yun Tian said happily, "Then it's settled."

The other princes and nobles were filled with envy.

Yun Tianhou has managed to establish a friendship with Shen Ping, but they can only be envious, since their families haven't produced such a beautiful descendant.

Until the banquet ended.

Que Ling remained vigilant, keeping a close eye on her surroundings. If she sensed anything amiss, she would immediately take Shen Ping away from there.

"Shen Ping, we'll head back now. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to the three of you."

After speaking, Marquis Qianshan, Marquis Jixue, and Marquis Biling left. (End of Chapter)
