93: : Go to the origin

First, he became the dark horse of the competition.

He received the most valuable reward.

His future was already extremely bright.

Now, he was favored by a high-ranking official, Governor Li. From now on, his life would not just be bright; it would be a meteoric rise!

The favor of a Governor was hundreds of times more valuable than that pet beast from before.

Even a small opportunity given by him would be enough for one's Realm to soar. Even just a few good words from him could make a person's path infinitely broad.

This was an opportunity countless people envied!

Even the emperor of a civilization.

In front of the Governor, he would have to be obedient, pouring tea and offering cigarettes!

"That's Governor Li! He can destroy a planet with a single word!"

"Lin Wu's luck is too Heaven-Defying, isn't it? I can't even imagine how great his future will be."

"If he can truly become Governor Li's confidant or be heavily relied upon, even the emperor of our civilization would have to give Lin Wu Face."

Everyone quickly lamented their differing fates.

Lin Wu's destiny was truly too strong!

...Compared to everyone's envy.

Lin Wu didn't react that strongly.

Li Zhantian is the Galaxy Governor, but I am the rightful Galaxy King!

However, meeting a fellow countryman did make him feel a lot more excited.

After a period of communication and conversation.

Lin Wu also figured out Li Zhantian's situation.

This name was not his original name.

His original name was Li Dabao... Later, due to various reasons, he changed his name.

The two exchanged a lot of information, and Lin Wu also spoke a great deal.

"What is the current situation on Blue Star? Is the overall structure still the same as before?"

Although they initially discussed matters of daily life, the conversation eventually returned to important affairs.

"There have been no fundamental changes. Aside from a few small nations disappearing, the original powerful nations are mostly still in existence."

Lin Wu reported truthfully.

Li Zhantian listened thoughtfully.

"What about those Wokou?"

"It's still the same situation as before; there's no difference from before you fell into the spatial rift."

Li Zhantian smiled after hearing this.

Although he was now a high-ranking official, he hadn't forgotten these things.

"They'll have a good time when I get back."

Li Zhantian said casually.

The two discussed many things.

Lin Wu then understood the status of the person before him.

First, he was a high-ranking official, only taking orders from the Galaxy King, and was allowed to carry his sword into court.

At the same time, he also had his own personal army, which was basically one of the strongest fighting forces in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Lin Wu also took the opportunity to ask many questions about the Universe.

These were things even Wu Ling didn't know.

"You're asking about that, huh? Although our Human Race nominally rules the entire Milky Way Galaxy, there are still quite a few enemies, such as the Insectoids."

"There's also the very powerful Star Beast Race. Both of these are enemies of humanity and occupy half of the Milky Way."

"They were originally heavily suppressed by humans, but unfortunately, the previous Galaxy King collapsed. Taking advantage of the Human Race's internal strife, they directly invaded!"

Lin Wu learned a little more about the Universe.

These could be considered minor matters, but for now, they served as a lubricant to deepen their relationship.

Lin Wu was not a fool; he had to make good use of such a great help in the early stages!

"I also slowly climbed to this position by slaughtering Insectoids."

"I see."

The more they talked, the more lively their relationship became.

"Oh, right, when are you returning to Dragon Country?"

Upon hearing this question, Li Zhantian answered without any hesitation:

"After the Prodigy Competition ends, I can return to Dragon Country."

"At that time, I will help the entire Dragon Country step into the stars. As for the other nations, well, forget about them."

Lin Wu almost burst out laughing.

There was no need to say which 'other nations' he was referring to.

"Governor Li, I think it's about time I left. My next step is to participate in other competitions."

Lin Wu prepared to take his leave. After all, they had already exchanged contact information, and he had a long journey ahead, needing to take a spaceship to other star systems.

However, Li Zhantian waved his hand.

"No need to say more. The examination venue you mentioned is also within my jurisdiction, and I happen to be responsible for the security there, to prevent the other two major races from causing trouble."

"We can go together then."

Originally, Li Zhantian didn't need to go personally, as such matters could be left to his subordinates.

But now that he had finally met a fellow countryman, he naturally wanted to spend more time with him.

Lin Wu did not refuse.

"Then you can take my private spaceship."

"Okay, thank you for the trouble!"

Then Li Zhantian used his ability, and the two instantly vanished from their spot, crossing space to appear on a battleship.

Lin Wu looked around.

This battleship was large, but its technology was not as advanced as Wu Ling's battleship.

Even though the latter was just a support battleship.

It could only be said that after the old Galaxy King fell, much technology was lost.

"You can rest in the VIP room and recover your strength."

"Come on, let's have a meal first."

Before Lin Wu could speak, the two appeared in the dining room.

"The layout here is almost identical to Dragon Country, and the tableware and everything else are exactly the same!"

Lin Wu was a little surprised.

He never expected Li Zhantian to be so meticulous.

The various table settings were almost identical to Dragon Country.

It would be very difficult for anyone else to recreate it so faithfully.

This person truly missed home.

"Try the specialty dishes first. These are flavors I tried every possible way to recreate, and I went through several batches of chefs."

Lin Wu immediately became interested.

As the dishes were served, he immediately began to eat heartily.

The dishes were basically the Eight Great Cuisines, some classic Jianghu dishes.

The taste could only be described as having no difference, but it just lacked a certain something.

And this wasn't due to a difference in flavor layers, but a psychological issue.

However, Lin Wu still praised them greatly.

Li Zhantian listened, and couldn't help but miss his hometown even more... During the long voyage.

The battleship quickly arrived at the assessment location.

Lin Wu was still sound asleep in the VIP room when a voice came through.

"Little Lin, come quickly, we've arrived!"

Lin Wu woke up and immediately went to the bridge.

Li Zhantian had been waiting for a long time.

Beside him were many officers and soldiers.

"This planet is the origin of our Human Race."

Lin Wu looked at this planet.

The planet was overall azure blue, very similar to Blue Star, but it was not Blue Star.

This planet was already very desolate; it had clearly lost signs of life long ago.

Even the sun of this star system was gradually aging.

"This is the origin of our Human Race?"

Although there were many Humans in the Milky Way, everyone was not even isolated; they were considered of the same race.

Lin Wu had been very curious before.

Now he understood... Humans had a common ancestor.

This planet was the origin of all humanity.

"Originally, our human ancestors lived carefree lives."

"Later, due to the arrival of spatial rifts, all Humans were evenly dispersed to various locations in the Milky Way Galaxy."

"And the Land of Origin gradually withered."
