"Release the restrictions on her."
"Stars commanded."
“This… sir, she is somewhat special.”
The agent hesitated.
Xingchen gave him a cold glance: "Do I need to repeat myself?"
The agent shuddered and quickly retrieved the controller to remove the woman's shackles. The woman flexed her wrists, watching Xingchen warily.
"name?"
"Star asked."
"Elena Calant".
The woman's voice was clear and cool with a hint of hoarseness.
Xingchen nodded and suddenly released a trace of Domain Lord-level pressure.
The woman groaned and knelt on one knee, but the stubbornness in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"Good mental resistance."
The stars withdrew their oppressive aura.
Why were you enslaved?
"My family has been defeated."
Elena answered briefly, a hint of pain flashing in her eyes.
Xingchen looked at her agent: "Her it's her. How much?"
"Because of its special features, this one is more expensive."
The agent rubbed his hands together.
"200 billion Nolan dollars."
Xingchen didn't even flinch before swiping her card to pay.
This price is just a drop in the ocean for him now.
"Does Your Excellency need any other slaves? We have more..."
"Being not."
Xingchen interrupted him.
"I will come again if needed."
After saying that, he looked at Elena and said, "Come with me. From today onwards, you will work for me."
Elena followed in silence. She knew she had no power to resist. The moment the slave chip was implanted in her, she was destined to lose her freedom.
Xingchen took Elena and rented a manor.
Seeing Elena's bitter and resentful expression, Xingchen chuckled twice.
"Alright, stop looking so miserable. Just do your job properly, and I'll set you free later."
Upon hearing this, Elena looked up and stared at the stars in surprise.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. I'm a domain lord, why would I lie to you?"
Elena finally believed Xingchen's words and her hope was rekindled. Perhaps one day in the future, he could regain his freedom and... take revenge!
Xingchen didn't care what she was thinking and immediately gave her two tasks.
First, I need to buy a spaceship, a Class C one. A Class D one isn't necessary right now, mainly because I'm poor, and a Class C one is barely acceptable.
Then I went to buy two virtual reality headsets.
After making the arrangements, Xingchenbian entered the cultivation room and began his cultivation.
In a small universe.
After more than five years of energy absorption, the starry river itself has grown a bit, with its diameter increasing by about one kilometer. Don't underestimate this one kilometer; it's an increase of one kilometer on top of its original size, making its volume significantly larger.
The miniature universe has also grown a bit larger.
According to Xingchen's judgment and cultivation, this small universe is growing according to his own growth, and within this small universe, he can directly absorb cosmic energy. He has also figured out the reason, which is this small universe.
In fact, it is directly connected to the original universe, like two planes, and the small universe of the stars is in this plane, with an invisible channel connecting the two.
Although the principle behind it is unclear, Xingchen is naturally happy to see this.
After several years of cultivation, he successfully reached the ninth level of his water domain. Not only that, he also crossed the threshold of the laws of space and water.
Especially the Law of Water, a lower-level law, is relatively easy to comprehend, and I have already achieved a minor level of mastery.
According to Xingchen's estimate, one would need to comprehend about 20% of all the laws of water to reach the point where the laws are recognized. His current level is about 5%.
For his own safety, Xingchen naturally wanted to first comprehend a lower-level law to perfection, and then break through to immortality as soon as possible, because only by reaching immortality could he have complete safety.
No need to worry about being possessed! As for his cultivation level, it's actually quite easy for him to improve in that area.
Because he has discovered another way to use the miniature universe, which is to refine the absorbed matter!
The first to ninth levels of the Domain Lord level, and even the first to ninth levels of the World Lord level, are actually just ordinary energy accumulation.
As long as you make good use of the innate secret technique of miniature universe.
Go out into the universe and devour more stars!
The problem of energy accumulation will then be solved naturally!
Chapter 6: Sneak Attack! Rage!
A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
During that year, Xingchen rarely went out. Many people heard that a domain lord lived here and wanted to make friends with him, or even flatter him, but Xingchen had Elena send them all away.
Since Xingchen refused to meet, those people dared not say anything and could only leave dejectedly.
His only two trips were both to obtain some energy, namely, stars.
He used his innate secret technique, a miniature universe, to devour two stars!
To be honest, the two stars did contain a great deal of energy, but because the stars themselves were also quite large, and due to the density of the energy, the two stars only managed to push his cultivation level to the eighth level of the Domain Lord realm.
"He should need to devour one more star to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Domain Lord realm."
Inside the cultivation room, Xingchen murmured.
Having cultivated for over six years, reaching the eighth level of the Domain Lord is already quite impressive.
"Let's get ready to go! This time I'm going to swallow a lot of them at once!"
Xingchen stood up, stretched her limbs, and then walked outside.
Elena was already waiting at the door. When she saw Xingchen come out, she bowed respectfully.
"Owner."
Xingchen nodded.
"Okay, prepare the spaceship for me, I'm going out."
"Good host."
She was used to Xingchen occasionally going out and was quite adept at it.
The spaceship is ready.
The stars ascended.
"I'll leave this place to you until I get back."
Elena nodded respectfully.
"Good host."
Xingchen stood in the spaceship's control room, gazing through the panoramic porthole at the gradually receding Magnolia Star.
This bustling commercial planet slowly shrank in the field of vision, eventually disappearing as a blue dot of light.
"Set course and head to the HD-4732 system."
The stars issued commands to the spaceship's intelligence.
That galaxy is relatively remote. Although stars are common in the universe, they tend to be absorbed by stars in remote galaxies because of the significant impact they make.
"The route has been set, and the estimated travel time in the dark universe is 27 days."
The AI responded.
With a slight tremor, the starry sky outside the spaceship suddenly distorted, and countless rays of light were stretched into colorful ribbons.
This is a typical characteristic of entering the dark universe, a space that overlaps with but is independent of the original universe, where spaceships can break the speed of light limit and achieve ultra-long-distance travel.
Xingchen closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the miniature universe within his body, and began to cultivate.
While Xingchen was immersed in cultivation, he was unaware that a dark purple shuttle-shaped spaceship was quietly following behind him.
"You're finally out! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Inside the dark purple spaceship, a figure shrouded in a black robe stared at the data on the screen.
……
The twenty-seven-day voyage through the dark universe was calm and uneventful.
When the spaceship exited the dark universe and returned to the original space, the entire HD-4732 galaxy was revealed to the stars.
This is a small star system with a bright blue-white star at its center, surrounded by four gas giants and several asteroids.
Unlike ordinary star systems, there are no rocky planets here—they were torn apart by the star's gravity billions of years ago, forming spectacular star rings.
"This is the one."
The star chose the outermost red giant as its first target. These stars are enormous but have low energy density, making them relatively easy to absorb.
