  Lord Noyin was shocked!

  After transforming into his Blood God Form, his power had increased by 500 times, and this was an absolutely overwhelming advantage, allowing him to defeat many opponents of equal footing.

  However, just now, the moment he clashed with Ling Jiu, Lord Noyin felt an unparalleled power many times stronger than his.

  This horrified Lord Noyin. Across the entire Ursa Major Galaxy Group, the Blood God Form of the Balkan Empire’s royal family was absolutely among the best. A 500-fold increase in power, who could fight against it?

  And now, an even more powerful form had appeared in such a remote corner of the universe. How could this be possible?

  “It’s not that my combat form is too strong, but it’s yours that is too weak. Just a mere 500-fold increase in strength and you’re already boasting like this? Mine is a million-fold stronger, shouldn’t I boast straight into the heavens then?”

  Ling Jiu flicked his fingers. He had not said something yet. His Golden Saiyan Ape avatar’s attribute index is a horrifying 15 million-fold.

  Be it strength, speed, defense, stamina, resilience and other attributes, are all increased by 15 million times. This was enough for him to boast across the universe, no?

  “What? A million times?”

  Lord Noyin’s expression changed drastically. “How can you power increase be so powerful?”

  “This is impossible! It’s impossible for a race with such terrifying increase to appear in this remote corner of the universe. Yes, impossible! You’re lying!”

  A million-fold increase!

  This was the terrifying increase that only a Flame Astral Behemoths can have!

  What was a Flame Astral Behemoth?

  That is one of the apex bloodlines in the universe, the astral behemoth that can grow into the strongest lifeform in the universe upon reaching adulthood.

  It was because of their strength, the Flame Astral Behemoth can become a renowned astral behemoth in the universe.

  But due to the same reason, because of their strength, they were rare.

  The Flame Astral Behemoths were very few in numbers.

  And those terrifying races that were no weaker than the Flame Astral Behemoth…… were equally rare. If they were placed across the entire universe, they’ll be even rarer.

  Morever, which of these lifeforms were not famous? None of them were called Earthlings that’s for sure!

  “Lying? Haha!”

  Ling Jiu was not inclined to explain. “Whether I’m lying or not is not important. The more important thing is that you will soon die, and Earth shall be your grave.”

  “Kill me? Hilarious.”

  Lord Noyin spat coldly. “I admit that you are very strong, but I have the Blood Flight ability, you can forget about killing me!”

  “Your Blood Flight may be nice, and once you take that form you are immune to any physical attacks. However, what if you are struck before you use it?”

  The corners of Ling Jiu’s mouth raised up a little, as he slowly uttered two words. “Time Stop!”

  WOOOSHHH!!

  A mysterious aura instantly enveloped Lord Noyin, and his entire person looked like have his nerves frozen as he stood there motionless.

  “DIE!”

  Ling Jiu stepped forward and suddenly appeared before Lord Noyin as his fist slammed square against Lord Noyin’s head.

  KRAK!!

  Lord Noyin’s head instantly exploded as his brain matter burst out and blood spattered all over.

  \r \r \r

  Immediately after, Ling Jiu dispelled the Time Stop, but Lord Noyin was no longer to use his Blood Flight to ward off the attack.

  Because, he was dead!

  How could a dead person use their abilities?

  “It turns out that the ability that you were so confident of were useless in the end.”

  Ling Jiu waved his hand and sent Lord Noyin’s body into his Inner World, letting the boundless flames immolate it as he looked at the hundreds of Lord Noyin’s men.

  When the two initially clashed, these subordinates had retreated dozens of kilometers away. At this moment, when they saw their lord killed, all of them were horrified.

  “Our Lord…… is actually dead!”

  “What should we do now?”

  “He’s looking over here! That Earthling is looking over here! Is he going to kill us?”

  “No, no! I don’t want to die……”

  The subordinates trembled to the core and panicked. They wanted to flee, but fear made them afraid to act rashly.

  They were afraid that if they were to make a slightest movement, they would suffer a lightning strike from Ling Jiu, and die on the spot like their lord did.

  “Come over here!”

  Ling Jiu beckoned them.

  “He wants us to go over?”

  “What should we do? Do we go over? Or…… we go over?”

  The subordinates did not dare to defy Ling Jiu’s order, and all flew over. Ling Jiu was satisfied with them knowing their place, so he said. “Your lord is dead, so do you lot want to live or die?”

  “My lord, have mercy!”

  “My lord, spare us our lives!”

  “Milord……”

  All of the subordinates fell onto their knees as they kowtowed and begged frantically for mercy. If they could live, who wanted to die?

  “It looks like you lot want to live. That’s good, Even ants cherish their lives, so much less you lot?”

  Ling Jiu nodded slightly. “How about this, I’ll give you a chance to live, but it all depends on whether you can grasp it or not?”

  “My lord, please tell us!”

  “I have an orchard, and I want to invite you lot to be my gardeners there. I wonder if you lot are willing? I always treat people with virtue, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you either.” Ling Jiu said.

  “Yes! We do!”

  “We are willing to serve you to the death!”

  The subordinates quickly nodded in agreement.

  “Very good, in you go then.”

  Ling Jiu waved his hand and sent all of them into the floating island. “This is my orchard, and your task into plant fruit trees.”

  “Remember, don’t you dare be lazy! Although I treat people by virtue, but if anyone dares to laze about, I won’t mind turning him into fertilizer to nourish my orchard!”

  These subordinates were all galactic lifeform, and it would be a pity to kill them. Yet they were not worthy enough to subdue and brainwash them, so he might as well just toss them into it.

  Ling Jiu believed that, if they were smart, they would not dare to be lazy.

  “Where is this place?”

  “Blood God above, what rich Dark Bio-energy!”

  “Blood God above, if I were to train here, I am absolutely confident to be able to break through into a supergalactic lifeform.”

  “Train? That person sent us in here isn’t for us to train. Let’s quickly find the saplings and plant them, otherwise we might not even know how we die!”

  “Yeah!”

  The hundreds of subordinates got busy as Ling Jiu smiled and called the Nine-headed Snake over.

  “Nine-headed Snake, look after them. If they dare to be lazy, or train in secret, kill them for me, understand?”

  “Yes, master!”

  The Nine-headed Snake spat its tongue out respectfully. After a period of cultivation, it had completely transformed into the true body of the Nine-headed Snake, and its strength returned to its peak. It was now a proper level 8 supergalactic lifeform, and was just a step way from breaking through.

  Letting it guard the floating island was simply overkill.

  Ling Jiu exited the floating island and looked at the spaceship overhead. At this moment, the spaceship had turned into a stream of light and rushed out of Earth.

  Clearly, it was going to flee!

  “Escaping? If I were to let you escape, I won’t have any face left on Earth.”

  Ling Jiu stepped out and appeared behind the ship, immediately after, he took a second step and reappeared inside the ship.

  “Leoux, the rest is up to you!”

  “Leave it to me!”

  Leoux transformed into a black stream of light and flew out of Ling Jiu’s hand as it entered the spacecraft. Not long later, the ship stopped in outer space.

  “What’s happened?”

  “Why…… why can’t I control the ship?”

  The spacecraft’s AI, Kaine was shocked. As the spacecraft’s AI, everything in the ship was under its control.

  In other words, the spaceship was its body.

  And now, it could no longer control its body.

  This was the first time it had encountered such a situation. Even if Kaine was an AI, and did not have any human emotions, it was still rather surprised.

  “A mere low-level AI dare to be presumptuous before me. Die!”

  “Ah!”

  A moment later, Kaine’s voice completely disappeared and was replaced by Leoux’s.

  “Ling Jiu, I have complete control of the ship.”

  “Very good!”

  Ling Jiu nodded slightly. “I’ll give you two tasks. First, summarize the technology contained in this spacecraft and sent it to the Chinese government.”

  “Second, figure out the purpose of this spacecraft’s arrival on Earth, as well as the detailed information about the Balkan Empire, the more detailed the better.”

  “OK!.”

  Leoux was very efficient. It only took ten minutes to complete the first task, “Ling Jiu, the technology has been sent!”

  “Good job!”

  Ling Jiu nodded with satisfaction. As a Chinese, he of course wished that China would be stronger.

  So when he gets alien technologies, he would often first give it to the Chinese government, not the United States or other countries.

  “Did you figure out the purpose of this spacecraft coming to Earth?” Ling Jiu asked again.

  “That guy just now was called Lord Noyin, and his full name is Noyin Balkan. He is indeed the uncle of the current reigning Balkan Emperor.”

  Leoux quickly replied. “He owned 7,653 planets as his domain, and is a very distinguished personae in the empire, truly a man above the masses.”

  “Right! He had came to Earth in search of the Flame Astral Behemoth’s egg.”

  “.……”

  “Looking for the egg of the Flame Astral Behemoth?”

  Leoux’s words reminded Ling Jiu that he had nearly forgotten about the egg of the Flame Astral Behemoth that he left behind on Whitehole 1.

  “How long has the egg of the Flame Astral Behemoth been on Whitehole 1, Leoux?” He felt a little embarrassed.

  “We went to Whitehole 1 and put the egg of the Flame Astral Behemoth there on July 7th, 2059. It’s August 9th, 2074 today,” Leoux replied. “That is to say, fifteen years and 26 days have passed on Earth. The time flow on Whitehole 1 is one hundred and thirty times that of Earth, and so the egg of the Flame Astral Behemoth has been on Whitehole 1 for exactly one thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine years, three months, and four days.”

  “One thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine years? I can’t believe that we have left it on Whitehole 1 for so long. This is……” Ling Jiu was a little embarrassed. “I wonder how it is now and if it could still remember me.”

  “Why don’t you take a look?”

  “Why not?” Ling Jiu nodded. “But I still have stuff to do before going there.”

  “What is it?” ……

  Birch Wood Village, Chang’an Base City.

  Birch Wood Village was a villa-only, upscale neighborhood where only the rich and the arcanists could afford to live in Chang’an Base City.

  In the garden of Zone A’s villa No.13, Meng Lijun was watering his Arcana tree.

  Since the government called on the people to start planting Arcana trees, Meng Lijun, an Arcanist, had wasted no time in cleaning up the garden to plant Arcana saplings.

  After half a year, the Arcana saplings had grown sturdily under his care, becoming taller day by day. Now, they had begun to produce Gene Arcana.

  The Arcana trees produced little Gene Arcana, so Meng Lijun did not want to keep the Gene Arcana to himself. He often came to the garden with his two-year-old daughter. He knew he had hit the ceiling in his self-cultivation and saw no chance of going any higher, so he hoped to lay a strong foundation for his daughter instead.

  Meng Lijun believed that as long as his daughter was immersed in Gene Arcana from a young age, her physique would improve, and she could awaken her Arcana later.

  Besides, experts had mentioned on TV that the Gene Arcana on Earth was becoming increasingly richer. Humans were getting stronger and stronger physically, and the probability of awakening Arcanas was climbing in a linear fashion.

  The competition would only get more intense in the future, and Meng Lijun did not want his daughter to fall behind from the get-go. So, these few Arcana trees were important to him.

  \r \r \r

  “You really care for the plants, eh, Brother Meng?” A greeting suddenly rang out.

  “Yeah, I’m watering them,” Meng Lijun instinctively replied.

  However, after that, he found the voice familiar yet strange.

  He looked up and saw a young man standing and smiling at him not far away.

  “C-Captain Ling Jiu?” Meng Lijun was taken aback. “How-How come you’re here?”

  Meng Lijun could not believe his eyes. Since he and Ling Jiu had only worked together for a short time, they had rarely seen each other.

  Later, as Ling Jiu got stronger and his status got higher, they never contacted each other again. He thought that Ling Jiu had forgotten him.

  He did not expect Ling Jiu to visit. This was really……

  “I was passing by, and I thought why not drop by to see you.”

  Ling Jiu smiled, pointing at the thriving Arcana trees with a smile. “It looks like you really take good care of these Arcana trees.”

  “You bet. These are my babies.” Meng Lijun put down the watering pot. “Please come inside. You are my VIP now. It’s my pleasure to have you here.”

  “That’s so kind of you, but I’m still who I am, just like before.”

  When Ling Jiu entered the villa, Meng Lijun’s wife was at a loss the moment she recognized Ling Jiu. Luckily, Ling Jiu came to her rescue.

  “Relax, Mrs. Meng. I’m just dropping by to see Brother Meng. I’ll go in a while.”

  Even so, Meng Lijun’s wife still served him some tea and fruit.

  “Have some tea, Captain Ling.”

  “Thank you.”

  Ling Jiu took a sip. “How have you been doing all these years, Brother Meng?”

  “I have been doing great. We followed you and made a lot of money back then,” Meng Lijun said with emotion. “Later, disaster struck Lantian Base City, and my entire family perished. We stayed in the wilderness, escaping the catastrophe. But we got disheartened and came to Chang’an Base City. I spent the money I made in the previous years to buy some real estate. I have been living here in retirement ever since. Everyone started to have their own families, and now, I spend time with my children and go back to the office to train new recruits when I have time. It’s a laid-back lifestyle.”

  “Glad to hear that.”

  Next, the two of them chatted for a while. As they mentioned the other members of the Tempest Squad and the Dragon Squad, they learning about the situation of a few others.

  Before leaving, Ling Jiu took out a Dimensional Pocket.

  “Captain Ling, this is……”

  “There are thirty Casmodor fruits here. An ordinary person can become a stellar being just by consuming one fruit. Please distribute three to each family.”

  Ling Jiu then teleported away as he finished speaking.

  “The Casmodor divine tree?”

  “One Casmodor fruit is enough to make a stellar being?” It knocked the socks off Meng Lijun. He could not believe what he had heard. “Th-There-There’s such a magical fruit?”

  “Where is Mr. Ling, honey?”

  Just then, Meng Lijun’s wife came out with their son.

  “He left,” said Meng Lijun absentmindedly.

  “Left? Why didn’t you ask him to have dinner?” Meng Lijun’s wife complained. “He came all the way here. You should have asked him to stay. He is the famous Ling Jiu!”

  Meng Lijun shook his head with a forced smile. Ignoring his wife, he opened the Dimensional Pocket and saw 30 fruits that were as large as durians.

  He took one Casmodor fruit out cautiously and ate it with excitement.

  He had never doubted Ling Jiu’s words nor was he worried that Ling Jiu would harm him. The gap between them was so great that it would be unthinkable for Ling Jiu to want to deceive or harm him.

  Half an hour later, Meng Lijun was suspended in the air, feeling a powerful energy surging inside him. His strength had increased multiple times, and he could not hold back his excitement.

  “An Ultimate Arcanist! I have finally become an Ultimate Arcanist! I didn’t know that I would one day become an Ultimate Arcanist too.”

  His wife was even more agog than him. “H-Honey, you-you’ve become……”

  “Yeah, honey, I’ve finally become somebody thanks to Captain Ling. I couldn’t have done this without Captain Ling.”

  After a long time, the couple calmed down. Just as Meng Lijun took out his mobile phone to make a call, his wife asked, “What are you doing, honey?”

  “I’m calling Chen Feng and the others to come over for the fruits,” Meng Lijun said without thinking.

  His wife gritted her teeth hesitantly.

  “Honey, there are so many of those fruits here. Can you keep one for my brother?”

  “Don’t even think about it.”

  Meng Lijun glared at her. “Captain Ling said, three fruits are to be given to each family. I have to hand over the remaining twenty-seven to Captain Chen and the others. You better perish the thought of getting an extra. Besides, we and our daughter have one each. I will make sure that you two eat it in front of me. Are you thinking of giving one to your smart-aleck brother? If he were to become a stellar being, I don’t know how many people would suffer because of him.”

  “I was just asking. Do you really have to say that? Who am I to say otherwise since it’s Ling Jiu’s orders?”

  “It’s just so you know.”
