Devour: Emperor Yan

Inside the spacecraft control room.

"Protecting our master is our mission," Ao Gu and Tie Nanhe said in unison.

"Our team might last a long time in the future. If our team disbands in the future, and after going through so many life-and-death situations, if you are still alive, and I am still alive..."

Luo Feng looked at them and said, "I will remove the biochip control from you and restore your freedom."

Upon hearing this, Ao Gu and Tie Nanhe's eyes lit up.

free!

This is what every slave longs for!

Luo Feng nodded in approval upon seeing this.

Slaves dare not rebel against their masters, but if you promise them a big reward, they will work even harder.

Besides, when these two are no longer strong enough, or when this team has to disband, they have survived many adventures with me, so it wouldn't hurt to give them their freedom then.

In any case, they're just two star-level slaves.

Luo Feng bought these slaves by the dozen.

Lin Kun watched as Luo Feng made empty promises to the two slaves, and couldn't help but feel speechless.

This is so similar to how I tricked those two cosmic-level slaves into going to the Yan God Clan's secret realm back then.

If you want your subordinates to work hard, first give them a big bowl of chicken soup and give them what they crave.

They will work tirelessly for you, striving to seize that glimmer of hope.

......

Inside the control room.

"We're almost at Canglan Star! The spaceship is about to embark on a space shuttle!" Babata's voice rang out.

Lin Kun and the others, who had been resting with their eyes closed, opened their eyes and stood up.

Shortly afterward, the spaceship shuddered slightly before quickly returning to calm.

"We have returned to our original universe."

"100% simulated outdoor scenery."

Outside, the spaceship is traveling at near-light speed toward an incredibly beautiful, light blue planet.

"What a beautiful planet! It's as beautiful as my hometown!" Luo Feng exclaimed, looking at the planet in the distant starry sky.

"It's very beautiful," Thor also praised.

"Like Earth..." Lin Kun murmured.

He had longed for that deep blue hue from the depths of his memory for a long time.

Given the chance, he will definitely go back to Earth to take a look.

Earth is worth as much as, or even more than, a supreme treasure!

"The diameter of this planet Canglan is about 32000 kilometers, but the world within it, in terms of area, is more than a hundred times the size of the entire planet Canglan... It's amazing that such a large world is hidden on a single planet!" Thor said.

"A grain of sand contains a world; this is the extent of the Realm Lord's power," Hong exclaimed.

huh~

The rock-gray, sharp-angled triangular spaceship quickly flew into the Canglan Star.

......

On Canglan Star, Lin Kun and his crew's spaceship, guided by the traction signal, landed at the docking port.

The group then flew towards a bustling metropolis in the distance: Thunder City.

This city wasn't originally called this; it was only later that a world created by a realm lord was discovered in this city.

This world, known for its thunder, is called the Thunder World.

Thus, the city was also known as Thunder City.

After a few minutes of flight...

"We've arrived in Thunder City."

Lin Kun and his group of six descended and entered the city.

Throughout the city, floating vehicles could be seen everywhere, moving about.

There were also many people flying with their bodies, creating a bustling scene.

After checking the map, the group flew towards the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's base, which was more than 30 kilometers to the northeast.

That Thunder World is located within the base of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

This base of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance was built after it was discovered in the World Lord's World.

Lin Kun and his six companions entered the camp.

"Are you here to participate in the trainee mercenary assessment? Go straight that way, the villa surrounded by heavy guards is the entrance to Thunder World," the staff member pointed out.

Looking in the direction it pointed, in the distance, a vast and empty area stood a solitary villa surrounded by a large number of guards.

"The Thunder World is inside the villa?"

A group of people who were also there to participate in the trainee mercenary assessment watched curiously.

"The realm lord who created the Thunder World back then is now living in seclusion in this city. He bought this villa and built the Thunder World within it!"

The staff member grinned and chuckled, "Who would have guessed that this small villa would conceal a vast world a hundred times larger than the entire planet Canglan?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was amazed.

"Let's go." Lin Kun and his group of six walked directly towards the villa in the distance.

......

In front of the villa.

"We're here to participate in the space apprentice mercenary assessment."

Lin Kun and his entourage arrived here.

drop!

The signal scanned over Lin Kun and his six companions.

After confirming the identities of the group, the guard nodded and said, "Go in."

Entering through the main gate, you'll find yourself in a spacious garden.

In the center of the garden stands an ordinary three-story villa.

Two women dressed in black with cold expressions stood at the entrance of the villa.

One of the women in black looked over and said, "Six adventurers, you should already be aware of the dangers of the world you are about to enter. If you regret it now, you can still withdraw."

"No need, open the door." Lin Kun's bones cracked and popped as he shrank to a height of just over 3 meters.

squeak~

Seeing this, the other woman in black stopped talking and pushed open the villa door. "The World Lord's World is on the second floor of the villa."

Lin Kun and his entourage filed in.

Enter the lobby on the first floor, and then go directly up the stairs to the second floor.

All the other rooms on the second floor were normal, except for one room where a beautiful woman with purple patterns on her face stood at the door.

When the woman saw Lin Kun and his group of six come up, she opened the door to the room, and a stream of light slowly flowed out from inside.

"This is."

Luo Feng and the others watched this scene with curiosity.

The shimmering light, like bubbles, swirled and moved, obscuring the view and making it impossible to see what was inside the room.

"Go in from here, and you'll enter the Thunder World," the woman said coldly.

"Um."

Lin Kun and the other five looked at each other, then each reached out their hands, one holding the other's.

In this way, once they enter the Thunder World, the six of them won't be scattered and teleported to different places.

"Go in."

Tie Nanhe was the first to step into the stream of light, followed by Lin Kun, Lei Shen, Hong, Luo Feng, and Ao Gu.

Silently, the six people entered the stream of light and disappeared.

Bang!

The woman at the door closed the door again.

......

It felt like the seasons had changed.

It used to be a sunny, garden-filled, villa-filled, and bustling base of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings have turned into night.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sudden increase in gravity caused Luo Feng and his group of five to plummet downwards. Finally, with five deep thuds, they all crashed heavily onto the ground below.

Lin Kun crossed his arms and slowly descended. "This gravity is strong enough."

"Ouch, that really hurts." Luo Feng and the others grimaced as they got up.

"Are there nails buried in the ground?" Thor looked around.

In the pitch-black world, only a faint glimmer of light shone in the distant sky, bringing a touch of brightness to this dark world.

Beneath their feet lay an endless black desert!

"Desert? A black desert?" Hong was shocked. He squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand.

It feels like iron filings.

They just slammed heavily onto these 'iron sands'.

"This should be the death desert mentioned in the map we bought."

Thor was also incredibly surprised, saying, "We just slammed down at such high speed, and we only managed to create such a shallow mark? Is this a desert?"
