334: North Star District Mainland

The spirit net was disconnected.

Disaster reappeared!

Within a short flight path of just tens of thousands of miles...

Ye Su and Fen Tian encountered three waves of robbers.

There was no other way.

Without the spirit net...

A powerhouse like Fen Tian couldn't be 'doxxed' by others anymore.

With so many people in the Universe, who would recognize what you look like?

Who the hell would know you're an Ascension Six!

Wave after wave of robberies left even Fen Tian questioning himself.

No, wait.

Do I have no prestige left at all?

An Ascension Six walking down the street, getting mugged three times in a row?

"Oh, don't be so depressed. Isn't this great?"

Ye Su laughed.

The spirit net was disconnected.

That meant the storage devices in the opponent's Login Device couldn't be remotely wiped by the Mechanical Race.

In other words...

Killing the opponent would actually drop loot!

No wonder there were so many robbers.

Wow.

Primitive society is good, primitive society is great.

The strong chase, the weak run.

Once caught, you're done for!

Fen Tian was a big shot and felt embarrassed to scavenge corpses; truth be told, he couldn't lower his Face.

But Ye Su was different.

After the pointers from the letter from the future, Ye Su's moral baseline had reached a new low.

Looting corpses?

Only a dog wouldn't loot. I'll loot—and not only will I loot, I'll search thoroughly. It's just a pity the equipment can't be stripped off.

Otherwise, I'd strip them bare!

Of course.

The real regret was that the money in the spirit net accounts wouldn't drop.

That was a shame.

Otherwise, Ye Su would have wanted to lead Fen Tian to form a team of Interstellar Bandits.

"Coming back to the point, what exactly are we going to do?"

Fen Tian didn't know what Ye Su's plan was either.

After the North Star Sector lost its connection...

It had indeed become much more dangerous.

He was an Ascension Six.

But there was no guarantee they wouldn't run into a real powerhouse.

"Claiming territory."

Ye Su said directly.

"Find a more secluded sector or Star Domain and find a way to claim it as ours."

"Firstly, we'll have a secret base."

"Secondly..."

Ye Su looked at Fen Tian.

Fen Tian understood immediately.

Right, right, right.

Claiming territory is good.

As long as we carve out a piece of land, we can transfer a large number of life-bearing planets to fill it.

Then get some population.

Isn't that the perfect start for the Divine Path?

Without the spirit net, even if we pull off some crazy stunts, the rest of the Universe will be completely clueless.

In that case...

Wouldn't the Golden Crow Clan have found their path forward?

When the time comes...

As long as we harvest enough faith...

Who's to say we couldn't create an existence comparable to an Ascension Nine?

At that point...

Whether the Golden Crow Clan would be besieged would be open for discussion!

An Ascension Nine...

Is incredibly fierce!

Even the Great Clans would have to think carefully about whether they wanted to push an Ascension Nine to the brink.

And then, if our side guarantees through Heaven's Will not to expand recklessly anymore...

The Great Clans might actually have to consider it—very good.

The strategy was set.

So—how do we claim it?

Fen Tian looked at Ye Su.

Ye Su said with composure:

"First, find a gathering area."

"Even if the North Star Sector has lost its connection, there should still be gathering areas."

"We'll scout for information and see where we can start."

"The Universe system is so complete; surely your Golden Crow Clan still has things like Formations, right?"

Fen Tian nodded.

True.

The path was set, so it was time to do something big.

"Once we've gathered the information,"

Ye Su continued,

"Your Golden Crow Clan can transfer the money to my account."

"I'll buy the necessary supplies for you."

It was very logical.

The Golden Crow Clan's accounts were under surveillance; if they really wanted to buy something, they could only use someone else's account.

Otherwise, the items would be seized by regulators before they could even be received.

As for how to get the money out of the restricted accounts...

The Golden Crow Clan naturally had their channels.

"Good!"

"Since we're on the subject, Ye Su, what do you want?"

Fen Tian asked.

The Golden Crow Clan seeking out Ye Su meant that Ye Su also had his own needs.

Now was the perfect time to bring them all up.

Everyone would be open and honest, establishing an alliance pact.

Ye Su sneered inwardly.

Alliance?

Alliance my foot.

The Divine Path...

I'm not so tired of living that I'd play that game with you.

We're just using each other.

Therefore...

"I hope that when the anomaly ends, you'll help me run interference. I want to take Blue Star with me!"

Ye Su said.

"Fine, no problem!"

Fen Tian agreed immediately.

As for some heavens will oath... it was completely unnecessary.

Because the Golden Crow Clan would be running for their lives as fast as they could; how could they possibly help you run interference?

Now Fen Tian understood clearly.

The two of them were just getting what they needed from each other.

To the outside world, they would certainly present a united front.

As for internal matters, they would deal with those when the time came.

---The North Star Sector Continent.

This was a magical region.

Because under the gravitational influence of the Universe's natural environment, it was impossible for a continent to exist.

But here, it existed!

Someone had used Ascension Techniques to solidify it.

Resulting in this continent of over ten billion square kilometers existing within the Universe environment.

And many lifeforms from various planets were now gathered here.

There were members of every race.

There were even members of the Mechanical Race—it was quite absurd.

Members of the Mechanical Race were hanging around here, yet they somehow hadn't set up a spirit net.

Aren't the Mechanical Race people essentially terminals of the Mechanical Race?

In the areas where their clansmen were located, they could easily set up a spirit net.

But now, they just weren't doing it.

It seemed someone was up to something on this continent.

The sky was azure blue.

A large number of lifeforms were constantly entering the continent's range.

Ye Su and Fen Tian were among them.

"Order? No, I feel that in this extremely chaotic environment, an absolute kind of Order has been born."

Fen Tian thought to himself.

An Ascension Six could vaguely perceive many things through Heaven's Will.

For example, the overall biological environment of a region.

Now, in Fen Tian's consciousness...

Battles were frequent on this continent, with lives being lost every moment.

However, the middle ground was kept within a controllable range.

In that case...

There must be some kind of Order restraining everyone.

Ye Su narrowed his eyes.

He didn't say a word.

The two of them entered the continent just like that.

Entering the nearest city within their sight, a primitive scent wafted out.

Having lost the spirit net, the city had almost no Order left.

Shouts and sounds of killing rang out frequently.

Fights also broke out often.

As you walked, a corpse might even be tossed right at your feet.

It was truly a place of chaos.

But—despite saying it was chaotic, after Ye Su and Fen Tian entered, no one had come to pick a fight yet.

There must be an Order at work within it.

"Hey, brother."

Ye Su saw a member of the Human Race and immediately called out.

The man was startled.

Then he walked over.

"Brother, what do you need?"

This person was a bit cautious, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"I wanted to ask about the rules in this city, since I'm a newcomer," Ye Su said.

Hearing this, the man's eyes immediately lit up.

"This city is called Disorder."

The man said,

"As for rules, there's only one: before you speak, you'd better check if you have money in your pockets."

After speaking...

He held out his hand.

Ye Su spread his hands.

"The spirit net is down, so I can't transfer money. How about I transfer it to you after the spirit net is restored?"

The man grinned.

"It's fine. Once I kill you, it'll naturally drop!"

After saying that, he attacked immediately.

He had the powerful strength of an Ascension Level Two.

Ye Su was 'scared to death'!

In the next instant...

A hand pinned him to the ground!
