Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 97 The Ninth Princess Delivers Herself to Our Doorstep

September 5, 2066 in the Chinese calendar.

Virtual universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island killing field.

Inside the hall with a blood droplet background.

Shen Ping, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen sat together drinking beverages.

A short while later.

An Xueyi and Brolin withdrew from the final battle space.

During this time, the Ninth Princess often came to the Killing Arena to watch the duels between the masters of the Killing Arena with An Xueyi, and gradually everyone became familiar with each other.

In fact, Luo Feng and the others had guessed the Ninth Princess's idea: to take the opportunity to get close to Shen Ping and build a good relationship with him. After all, as a princess, she probably knew about Anmonz selling treasures from the interdimensional realm.

Unlike her time in the Imperial Star Palace and Thunder World, Brolin in the Killing Arena dressed very casually, wearing only a relatively tight-fitting battle suit. With her short silver hair, she looked like a mature and sophisticated career woman. However, her temperament was still distinctly different from the others, especially her figure, which was very hot, accentuated by the tight-fitting battle suit. In addition, the unique glint in her eyes, which had the blood of dragon people, made her even more eye-catching than An Xueyi.

The two women sat down next to Shen Ping.

This forced Luo Fenghong and Lei Shen to sit on the side, but the three of them got used to it.

"Junior brother, there have indeed been more experts in the killing arena lately."

"Today I also witnessed a fierce battle between ninth-tier Constant Star Realm experts at the sixth level of the Domain Realm, which greatly inspired me. In another two or three months, I should be able to advance to the sixth level of my Flame Domain!"

An Xueyi clenched her fists, her charming face full of excitement.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."

"cut."

"That's so perfunctory."

An Xueyi pouted.

The Ninth Princess's lips curled up slightly. "Xueyi, with Shen Ping's talent to step into the fundamental laws of the universe, your sixth level of the Domain is indeed nothing special. My grandfather said that in the upcoming Peak Genius Battle, even those with a sixth level of the Domain will have a hard time breaking into the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

These words were spoken.

Luo Fenghong and Lei Shen sidled up, unable to contain themselves, and said, "Really? There aren't many people in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region who have reached the sixth level of the Domain Realm. Are the top ten in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region all this weak?"

Brolin said helplessly, "Although I hate to admit it, it is indeed a fact. In every Genius Battle, very few people from my Black Dragon Mountain Star Region can make it into the top 1,000. On average, it is considered very good if one or two appear in every ten battles."

It is held twice every ten thousand years, once for the battle of unparalleled geniuses and once for the battle of the strong.

Ten Genius Battles would take 100,000 years.

This made Thor secretly click his tongue, "I'm only at the fifth level of the Domain, it seems I have no chance in this Genius Battle."

Shen Ping had long ago given the complete set of Thunder Secret Techniques left behind by the Thunder Realm Lord to Thunder God. The white-bearded old man, an intelligent life form, naturally taught Thunder God carefully. In the past few days, he had sparred with his elder brother Hong quite often, making Hong feel the pressure.

"Luo Feng, you and your older brother should have a chance."

He grinned and said, "As for that freak Shen Ping, he'd have no problem getting into the top ten in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

Babata chimed in, "With Shen Ping's strength, he has a chance to compete for a place in the top 100 of this Peak Genius Battle. As for the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, barring any unforeseen circumstances, no one can rival him."

Ever since learning that Shen Ping had not only entered the realm of the Flame Origin Law but also reached the Nine-Line Flow level in the Space Origin Law, Babata had been using Shen Ping to push Luo Feng to cultivate diligently. This approach had indeed been very effective, and Luo Feng's progress had been extremely rapid during this period.

Brolin's eyes brightened slightly. Having followed An Xueyi for so long, she had finally heard some news, so she couldn't help but say, "Although Shen Ping is a genius of the Origin Law, most of the top 100 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom have been there. It will still be difficult for him to easily take first place."

Babata immediately fell silent.

Luo Feng and the others smiled and didn't continue the conversation.

This left the Ninth Princess speechless.

An Xueyi, however, smiled and said, "Your Highness, you'll see when the Genius Battle begins. Come on, let's continue watching and sparring. I need to break through to the sixth level of my Domain Realm. I don't dare dream of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, but at least in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, I have to be a genius. Hong, Thunder God, are you two coming?"

"Come."

"Who's afraid of who? I'm sure I'll beat you this time."

Hong and Lei Shen are both at the fifth level of the Domain, just like An Xueyi. Therefore, the three of them are evenly matched, and sparring is the most effective way to improve their strength. As for Hong, he will break through in at most two more months.

"Master, I'm going to challenge them too, while there are plenty of experts around."

Not long after.

Only Shen Ping remained. He shook his head and sighed, "Being invincible is truly lonely!"

Just as I was feeling sentimental.

The green-skinned old man, Manluo, walked over.

Shen Ping hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, Lady Manluo."

Manlu smiled and said, "No need to be polite. I came here to remind you that this year's Genius Battle is stronger than previous years. Don't focus on the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, but on the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. According to the information I have, the royal family of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has many geniuses. You should make good use of this time to practice your swordsmanship and movement techniques as much as possible."

"Yes, Lady Manluo."

Manluo gave a few instructions and then left.

……

The capital city.

Holy Land, Divine Kingdom.

Brolin shared the information she had obtained.

Her grandfather, Hargrave, stared wide-eyed. "What? No one in the entire Ganwu Universe is his match? His goal is to compete for a spot in the top 100 overall?"

Are you sure?

Brolin nodded. "This was said by an intelligent life form that is a friend of Shen Ping's. To be able to transform into an intelligent life form, one must have lived for a very long time and should know something about the situation of previous genius battles, so it should be true."

Hargrave took a deep breath. "This competition is hosted by Virtual Universe Corporation. If he can really make it into the top 100, that would be incredible. As long as he doesn't fall along the way, he has a great chance of becoming an immortal, and he might even be a strong immortal among immortals."

"Lorraine, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. The more talented a person is, the more aloof they are. They hardly care about relationships and don't bother with managing their family. Therefore, it is very rare for a genius like Shen Ping to be willing to marry a woman."

"As long as you can establish a relationship before he soars to great heights, your status and position will be unshakable, regardless of whether he cares about you in the future. Not to mention an emperor, even the Black Dragon Lord of the Holy Land will look at you differently, and even some of the major families in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom will care about you."

Listening to these words.

Brolin's breathing quickened, her chest heaving, and she felt a surge of heat coursing through her body. "Grandpa, I understand. I'll head to Dragon Star immediately!"

……

Dragon Star Castle.

Bedroom bed.

It has experienced dozens of major battles.

Everywhere there was a peculiar smell.

Shen Ping and An Xueyi embraced, their red lips parted, and An Xueyi said softly, "Junior Brother, I think it won't be long before you ruin that Ninth Princess. She's been dragging me around a lot lately, and knowing her personality, she'll be coming to Qiulong Star in less than a month."

"As a princess of the empire, she will not let any opportunity slip by."

talking.

She pretended to be angry and pinched Shen Ping's firmness, "If you have her, you're not allowed to forget me."

Shen Ping chuckled, "What, you're jealous?"

"I don't."

"However, this Ninth Princess is stronger than me."

An Xueyi said.

Shen Ping shook his head. "Her strength is no match for yours, but as for other aspects, her figure is quite good."

An Xueyi said fiercely, "See, I knew you were thinking about her."

Shen Ping didn't say anything, but instead launched a counterattack on An Xueyi, completely subduing her before smiling and saying, "I haven't had time to cultivate a relationship with this prince lately."

"What if she comes to you willingly?"

"That... is a different story."

"You wretched junior brother, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

"Are you sure you can handle this? If you keep going, your purple lips are going to protest!"

"I don't care."

Six days later.

He returned to Earth with An Xueyi, Li Yuewei, and Su Yin. As for the Ninth Princess who went to Qiulong Star, she naturally missed her. However, she simply stayed on Qiulong Star.

The solar system.

This place is filled with all kinds of detection instruments, as well as railguns and various weapons. Even a domain lord would perish here.

Previously, the Nolan Mountain family's adventurous spaceship was blasted into pieces before it even got close to the solar system, and other ships that came through wormholes met the same fate.

Inside the Earth's Ares Palace.

Although a virtual universe network exists today, the five major powers and members of various factions still prefer to discuss matters at the War God Palace.

Parliament Hall.

Shen Ping, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen looked at the representatives of various countries and forces in front of them.

"Want to leave Earth and explore the universe? Sure, I have hundreds of inhabited planets under my command. You can choose any one to contact other extraterrestrial life. You can even go to Qiulong Star. But I need to warn you, anyone who leaks information about Earth, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"My master is at the peak of the Realm Lord level. You'd better think carefully about the consequences before you reveal this."

He first made some harsh remarks to intimidate the representatives.

Hong smiled gently and said, "Earth is our home. No matter where we go, we are all Earthlings. Once you integrate into the universe, you will know that people from the same hometown will unite and help each other. The universe is too big, and no one will trust outsiders."

Previously, they were quite worried that these forces would leak information after leaving Earth, such as various ancient civilization relics and artifacts, but now they no longer have these concerns.

After all, these planets have a large number of inhabitants and various advanced technologies, so even if these forces make contact, it will only be within their own territories.

"Speaker Shen... Four Speakers, we know that contact with space is dangerous, and we are mentally prepared. Please rest assured that we will not reveal any information. However, if Earth wants to develop and go out into the world, this first step is always the most difficult."

One representative said.

Everyone understands this principle.

Shen Ping did not stop him further.

a few days later.

The two spaceships left Earth.

Watching the spaceship travel through space, Luo Feng sighed, "After this step of contact, I wonder what Earth will become in the future."

Hong said in a low voice, "It may not be a bad thing. The earth can't rely on just a few of us. There are so many people in the world, we can't take care of everyone. They also need to go out and grow on their own."

Shen Ping casually said, "Let's ignore them. Everyone has their own life to live, and we can't make decisions for them."

Actually, staying on Earth is the best option.

After all, without equal resources, so-called contact is merely an exchange of cultural differences. Staying on Earth, with the virtual universe network and various public resources, allows for stable growth. Going to space means facing all kinds of cruelty; alien races are not gentle.

Just like Brolin, back in the Thunder World, one of the leaders of the Hundred Tigers Tower was shot through the head simply for voicing a protest.

Similarly, the development of Anjia was also filled with bloodshed and violence.

……

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On March 9, 2066, an enormous, radiant black banner appeared in the night sky above Black Dragon Mountain Island.

"Universe Humanity - Battle of Ultimate Geniuses!"

"Once in a million years!"

"Coming soon!"

"Held jointly by Virtual Universe Company and all intergalactic nations!"

"You're a genius? Can't find any opponents of your level? Then come and participate in the Genius Battle! Here, billions of geniuses from various cosmic nations will battle!"
