233: Are you no longer planning to hide it?

Time flows like water; a thousand years passed in a flash.

He Ming slowly opened his eyes. The [imperial seal of china] suspended above his head emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating the endless darkness.

This darkness was called the Abyss by humans.

For a thousand years, while He Ming was comprehending the Spatial Law, he also continuously let the [imperial seal of china] absorb the Zerg within the Abyss.

Now, the grade of the [imperial seal of china] had risen from the Realm Lord Level to the Immortal Level.

The upper limit of the cultivation speed that Providence could carry had increased from ten million times to a hundred million times.

One day of cultivation was equivalent to a hundred million days for others, which was about 270,000 years.

Since the clone occupied one-tenth of the capacity...

More precisely, the original body possessed a cultivation speed of ninety million times, while the clone had ten million times.

He Ming's mental consciousness connected with the omniscient notebook floating in the center of his inner universe.

[Cultivation speed bonus of the imperial seal of china]

[100 million times]

He Ming's expression turned solemn; reaching a hundred million times meant that the great war was about to begin.

Many people would die in this battle, and it was unavoidable.

Once He Ming attempted to break through to the Universe Venerable level, it would inevitably cause a sensation throughout the entire universe.

At that time, the Zerg would certainly come out in full force to stop his breakthrough.

The human side would also do everything in its power to protect He Ming. As long as He Ming successfully broke through, the Human Alliance could withstand the continuous invasion of the Zerg and even push them back.

The Zerg occupied more than ninety percent of the entire universe.

Aside from the few galaxies left for low-level Zerg to breed, the entire Abyss had been devoured by the Zerg until not many stars remained.

He Ming's figure flashed, shifting several thousand light-years away and descending upon the Blood River Fortress.

His perception spread out, and he found Shui Meng's figure on a snack street.

[Shui Meng's Realm]

[Peak Ninth-stage Realm Lord Level]

He Ming didn't ask further. With Shui Meng's own Providence that could reverse causality, no fortuitous encounter would surprise him.

At only the peak of the Ninth-stage Realm Lord Level, He Ming even felt it was a bit low.

Shui Meng suddenly looked up, glancing in the direction where He Ming was.

"Boss!"

The space around her distorted slightly, and in a flash, she arrived by He Ming's side.

"Boss, is it done?"

"Mhm, let's head back first."

"Mhm, I've been out playing for so long, I've also missed home a bit."

A Space Warp-class spaceship docked in front of the two, and the hatch opened automatically.

Ten days later.

This Space Warp-class spaceship, which had reached the level of a Level 7 civilization, brought the two back to the Milky Way Galaxy.

He Ming's perception was fully open, seeing through the entire Milky Way Galaxy at a glance.

Star Empire, Imperial Capital.

Inside the Star Sea Headquarters, there were no longer any familiar faces; all were new faces.

[How many of the earliest Star Sea Elders are still alive?]

[2]

He Ming's eyes dazed slightly as the figures of those people surfaced in his mind.

[Who]

[Bai Qianqian, Group Leader]

After He Ming learned the answer, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He wasn't surprised that Bai Qianqian could break through to the Stellar Level because she inherently possessed basic cultivation talent. Coupled with the bonus from the gene enhancement potion, cultivating to the Stellar Level was not difficult at all.

He just didn't expect that the original host's ex-girlfriend was quite a survivor, actually managing to reach the Stellar Level as well.

Scanning the galaxies surrounding the Milky Way, the shadow of Star Sea was everywhere. The flags of the Star Tide Empire were planted throughout a radius of fifty million light-years centered on the Milky Way.

This was already the basic level of a single realm.

There were 479 Domain Lord Level experts, among whom the Blue Star Ancient Martial Arts Faction occupied 212 spots.

Wan Xingying, Blazing Phoenix, and Zhang Zhifei had reached the Star Lord Level.

Bai Xiaofei, whom He Ming once had high hopes for, had now only reached the third stage of the Domain Lord Level.

Although his talent was outstanding, he unfortunately always just wanted to lie flat.

For the Milky Way Galaxy to have its current development and scale, it naturally couldn't have happened without the clone's operations within the Human Alliance.

"Boss."

He Ming composed himself and suddenly spoke: "Do you want to go see your adoptive father?"

Shui Meng was a bit confused; her adoptive parents had passed away long ago.

"You were once the adopted daughter of the Domain Lord Shui Ze of the Shuize Star Domain; he was the one who sent you to the Solar System."

Shui Meng shook her head.

"My roots are in the Solar System. I only have two adoptive parents."

He Ming nodded slightly.

"In a short while, there may be a massive Zerg invasion. Shui Meng, I need you to help me guard the Milky Way Galaxy."

Shui Meng was slightly stunned. This was the first time He Ming had called her by her name, and her heart couldn't help but warm up.

Usually, he would either just grab her shoulder or give her a look.

"Boss, don't worry, I'll be here!"

He Ming nodded slightly, his figure gradually distorting, and in a flash, he arrived at the Imperial Capital's Royal City.

The inner palace of the Royal City.

Wan Xingying was processing official documents when she suddenly saw the space in front of her distort.

"Void Shift?"

She was momentarily dazed. Who had the audacity to shift directly into her inner palace?

Hm!

Wan Xingying's eyebrows shot up, and a faint sense of anticipation rose in her heart.

He Ming stepped out, revealing his true appearance in front of Wan Xingying for the first time.

"Is this your original appearance?"

He Ming nodded slightly.

"Yes."

Wan Xingying stepped forward, wanting to reach out but instinctively pulling back.

"Much better looking than Wang Chao."

He Ming stepped forward and pulled Wan Xingying into his arms.

"Naturally."

Wan Xingying didn't resist, leaning her head against He Ming's shoulder, her hands gently stroking his back.

Over the past thousand years, she had imagined meeting He Ming countless times, with a thousand years' worth of words accumulated to pour out.

But at this moment, she only wanted to hold He Ming tightly.

"You've worked hard."

Wan Xingying shook her head: "Allowing more of the common people to live good lives was always my dream. Without you, I certainly couldn't have achieved it on my own."

"This time, I've come to say goodbye. This battle might last for a long time."

Wan Xingying released He Ming, her lips trembling slightly. They had just met, yet they were to be separated again... "I will win."

Wan Xingying nodded and took He Ming's hand, walking toward the bedroom.

"At least tonight, you should belong to me..."

A night of fierce battle... The next day.

Human Alliance, Star Palace.

The clone He Ming opened his eyes.

For a thousand years, he had been perceiving the three great laws of Space, Reincarnation, and Yin-Yang, not cultivating for a single moment.

Because the cultivation bonus of the imperial seal of china was too terrifying; even with only one-tenth, at his current third stage of the Star Lord Level, he would only need to cultivate for one day to advance.

And this would inevitably draw the attention and investigation of the Human Alliance.

He didn't dare before, but now there was no need to hide.

Because the original body was already prepared for the breakthrough; advancing to the Universe Venerable level was already a certainty.

"Then let's begin!"

He Ming operated the [Star Guidance Technique], pulling the Star Power within the Star Tower toward himself with all his might.

Ten seconds.

Buzz... A violent fluctuation came from within the Star Palace as a massive amount of Star Power surged toward He Ming.

His body was like a vast ocean receiving a hundred rivers, continuously absorbing the Star Power.

Star Lord Level stage 4.

Ten light-years away.

Qing Lan, sitting cross-legged in the void, opened her eyes and looked toward the cultivation area where He Ming was.

"A breakthrough?"

"Wasn't this guy always perceiving laws in the Star Tower? Why did he suddenly start cultivating?"

The moment He Ming broke through, he simultaneously attracted three gazes.

Venerable Xuan Ming, Venerable Bai Hua, and Venerable Chi Tian communicated via divine sense across thousands of light-years.

Venerable Chi Tian: "This little fox finally doesn't plan to hide anymore."

Venerable Xuan Ming: "His foundation has already been built incredibly solid; this breakthrough can be considered a natural progression."

Venerable Bai Hua: "Something's not right. Even with a deep accumulation, he shouldn't step from the middle of the third stage of the Star Lord Level into the fourth stage in a single day."

Venerable Xuan Ming: "What's there to be surprised about? Back then, didn't Thousand Jin also break through three stages in a single day?"

Venerable Bai Hua: "That person was Thousand Jin, unprecedented, and there will definitely never be anyone who could surpass him in the future."
