331: Waiting here

After purchasing the heavenly stone...

Ye Su finally learned the meaning of service.

They opened a soul spirit channel directly.

As long as the location wasn't too absurd, the Wang Clan was responsible for delivering you to certain large commercial planets in the Universe.

Specifically, because these commercial planets were busy and had many channels open, the overall cost of each opening was driven down.

So.

Ye Su easily arrived at the planet named Yulan Star.

A Universal Commercial Planet.

The moment he opened his eyes, advertisements filled his entire field of vision.

Moreover, these advertisements seemed to use some special technology; no matter what angle you were at, you could see the full image.

【Yulan Star welcomes you.】

【Would you like advertisement blocking services? Only 1 crystal coin per hour. Remaining blocking time can be saved for future use.】

Holy crap—Ye Su was truly impressed.

This was the first time he had felt the commercial enthusiasm of the Universe.

Truly enthusiastic; the first thing they did was ask for money!

"Use it."

Ye Su was helpless; this advertising technology was quite advanced and really an eyesore.

It would be inconvenient even to look for someone on Yulan Star.

【Your spirit net account has signed up for the monthly advertisement blocking service. The first month is only 1 crystal coin, and 10 crystal coins will be automatically deducted every month thereafter.】

Ye Su: Holy crap—his face turned dark.

No, isn't the way you do business in the Universe a bit too much?

Until...

Ye Su saw Lu Yiyi.

At this moment, Lu Yiyi appeared as a mass of pixels within the light refraction of Yulan Star.

"Oh, Ye Su."

When she spoke, the pixels finally disappeared.

So...

This place had reached a point where it was actually hard to even get a glimpse of a rich person if they didn't want it.

He was powerless to complain.

"This Yulan Star is an industry of the Mechanical Race, utilizing a large amount of Psionic Photon Technology."

Lu Yiyi said;

"Furthermore, these technologies can effectively block various noises and eliminate the possibility of being eavesdropped upon."

"Perhaps those people right next to us are discussing matters of murder and robbery."

It was indeed an eye-opener.

The Mechanical Race's industries were spread throughout the Universe.

Ye Su didn't know much about them, but they managed the spirit net, and the storage space in the Spirit Net Login Devices would be automatically reclaimed once it became ownerless.

From that alone, one could tell how overbearing the Mechanical Race was!

"Wait, doesn't that make the Mechanical Race the Great Clan that holds the most secrets in the Universe?"

Ye Su said.

Indeed.

An eavesdropping function in a Spirit Net Login Device wasn't a very difficult technology; even Blue Star could make it.

Let alone the Mechanical Race.

In that case, the amount of blackmail material in the hands of the Mechanical Race was unimaginably vast.

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that."

Lu Yiyi said;

"Let them listen. The one in charge of this information storage is an old-model intelligence of the Mechanical Race. It has no emotions, no consciousness, and is controlled by underlying logic. Even the Mechanical Race itself cannot retrieve the data."

"Thus, everyone can use it with peace of mind."

"Otherwise, the Universe would have been in chaos long ago, and the other Great Clans would have exploded."

Fine.

He reluctantly accepted Lu Yiyi's explanation.

The Universe had been running for so many years; if something was going to happen, it would have happened long ago.

Presumably, the Mechanical Race had been kept in check.

Currently, a strange balance had formed.

"Why did you call me here?"

Ye Su asked;

"Weren't you going to demonstrate the Ascension Technique?"

"Cough cough!!"

Lu Yiyi coughed lightly, clearly up to no good;

"The Ascension Technique is a secret of the Great Clans. How can I just show it to anyone?"

"Besides, I heard that the Golden Crow Clan has been acting a bit unusually lately. You should know they are already being monitored because of matters regarding the Divine Dao."

"Holy shit, are you monitoring me?"

Ye Su shouted.

Golden Crow Clan.

Golden Crow.

Token.

This girl, Lu Yiyi, looked like she also wanted to join the ranks of those swindling the Golden Crow Clan!

"Oh, the Golden Crow on the Blue Star side is trying to find ways to operate. Plus, with that cult person you sent over last time, and the fact that the Golden Crow Clan moved as soon as you were ready to come out..."

Lu Yiyi said;

"I guessed that you might have reached some kind of agreement with the Golden Crow."

"I'm reminding you out of the goodness of my heart."

Ye Su spread his hands. "Fine, let's not beat around the bush. How much do you want?"

"Two-thirds."

"1%!"

Lu Yiyi: "?? Do you even know how to haggle?"

"Given your personality and current status, you generally don't care for wealth. Tell me, what treasure of theirs have you set your sights on?"

"Hehe, the great sun fusang divine tree!"

Lu Yiyi said directly.

Talking to Ye Su was easy; they were both smart people.

And Ye Su knew how to distribute interests.

The cooperation between the two had always been very pleasant.

"What is that?"

"Um... how should I put it? It's the manifestation of the Fire Rule. And the Ascension Technique also involves rules. If an Ascender obtains the great sun fusang divine tree, they can quickly comprehend the Fire Rule."

"So it's preparation for making the Ascension Technique even more powerful and terrifying in the Late Stage?"

"You could say that. Sit down first, and I'll explain the principles of the Ascension Technique to you. Then you'll understand why I want this thing."

The two sat down.

Lu Yiyi's membership level was truly high.

Amidst the flickering light and shadows.

The two of them seemed to disappear.

On this bustling main street of Yulan Star, light and shadow actually constructed a special reception room directly.

"Speaking of the Ascension Technique, one must speak of rules."

Lu Yiyi began her explanation;

"And the rules of the Universe are chaotic."

"As for why it's like this, I don't understand either. In the entire Universe, except for the Divine Rule of Order which is normal, all other rules are a mess."

"In this messy environment, some people had a little idea: to construct their own Will Rules."

"And Will Rules became the mainstream of the Ascension Technique."

Ye Su scratched his head;

"What are Will Rules?"

Lu Yiyi reached out a hand and held up an index finger, saying;

"Remember the first time you stepped onto the Ascension Path?"

"Did you really rely purely on Light Arrays and timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony power?"

"Could it be that you weren't controlled by some kind of core will back then?"

Ye Su was stunned.

At that time, he had achieved Transcendence and transformed into a giant ape.

And that giant ape was the representative of violence.

Until he was promoted to an Ascender.

When he used Will as Armor, it was also based on the fundamental framework of violence.

So—this concerned the Foundation of the Ascension Technique.

He.

Ultimately had to use violence as his Will Rule?

"No, I was promoted using Flesh as Armor."

Ye Su lied through his teeth.

Lu Yiyi pursed her lips;

"Then listen carefully. By using Flesh as Armor from the start, you lost the possibility of comprehending the Ascension Technique."

"In other words, the path was wrong from the beginning."

"However, it can be remedied."

"You haven't bound your Ascension Three yet, right?"

"Bind to my Star Spirit Clan, and you'll have the chance to comprehend my Star Spirit Clan's Ascension Technique!"

Heh.

So this is what she was waiting for!
