The glory of the interstellar event and the ultimate pretentious journey

The spaceship continued to roam through the boundless Universe. After some time of sailing, they received an invitation from a mysterious interstellar organization.

This organization hosts a grand interstellar gala every hundred years, inviting various powerful civilizations and outstanding figures in the Universe to participate. It aims to promote exchange and cooperation, while also serving as a stage to showcase everyone's strength and demeanor.

"An interstellar gala? That sounds very interesting." Xiao Meng's eyes sparkled, filled with anticipation.

Ye Qiu looked at the invitation, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly to reveal a confident smile: "This is a good opportunity to see the demeanor of other civilizations in the Universe, and incidentally, let them know how powerful we are."

The spaceship headed toward the planet where the gala was being held. When they arrived, the scene before them left everyone amazed.

A massive interstellar venue floated in the air, surrounded by spaceships of various shapes and sizes, emitting strange lights. Creatures from different civilizations, dressed in gorgeous attire, shuttled back and forth; the entire scene was bustling with excitement.

Ye Qiu led the female protagonists out of the spaceship, immediately attracting many gazes. Their appearance was extraordinary, especially Ye Qiu, whose body radiated an otherworldly temperament, as if he brought his own light.

"Look, is that Ye Qiu? The legendary figure who solved multiple crises single-handedly?"

"The women beside him also have extraordinary temperaments; it really makes one curious."

The people around whispered, full of curiosity and attention toward Ye Qiu and his group.

Ye Qiu strode forward with his head held high, leading the Four Heroines toward the venue. His steps were steady and powerful, as if every step trod upon the heartstrings of the onlookers.

Suddenly, a tall alien creature, its entire body emitting a metallic luster, blocked their path.

"You are Ye Qiu? You don't look like much. I heard you go around boasting about your strength; today I want to see just how capable you really are." The metallic creature's tone was arrogant and full of provocation.

Ye Qiu stopped, looking at the other party with a calm gaze, the corners of his mouth curling into a mocking arc: "You think you're qualified to question me? I see you as nothing more than a clown who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

"You!" The metallic creature was enraged by Ye Qiu's words. He clenched his fists, the metallic light on his body flared brightly, and a powerful wave of energy radiated out.

Ye Qiu, however, remained completely unmoved, crossing his arms with a calm expression: "I advise you to step down obediently, otherwise it won't be good when you lose face later."

"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully performed a prestige act, gaining 120 points of prestige value." The System's notification sound rang out at the right moment.

The metallic creature roared and charged at Ye Qiu. His speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, he arrived in front of Ye Qiu, throwing a punch toward Ye Qiu's face.

Ye Qiu was unhurried, gently sidestepping to easily dodge the punch. Then, he extended a finger and tapped it against the metallic creature's fist.

The metallic creature only felt a powerful force surging from his fist; his body uncontrollably flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"This... how is this possible!" The metallic creature looked at Ye Qiu in disbelief. He never imagined that his full-power strike would be resolved so easily by the other party.

Ye Qiu clapped his hands as if he had just done something trivial: "With only this much strength, you dare to act arrogantly in front of me? Go back and Cultivate for a few years before coming back."

Exclamations and applause erupted all around; everyone was deeply impressed by Ye Qiu's strength and confidence.

"Wow, Ye Qiu is so amazing!" Xiao Meng jumped up excitedly.

Lia looked at Ye Qiu with an expression of admiration: "You can resolve trouble so easily every time; it's so cool."

Ye Qiu smiled in response to them, then led the Four Heroines to continue walking toward the interior of the venue.

After entering the venue, they arrived at a huge exhibition area. Precious treasures and advanced technologies brought by various civilizations were displayed here, making one dazzled.

Ye Qiu stopped in front of a display stand, on which sat a crystal emitting five-colored light. This crystal was introduced as a treasure with powerful energy amplification effects, cultivated by a certain civilization over hundreds of years.

"Although this crystal is not bad, it is still inferior compared to what I possess," Ye Qiu said indifferently.

People around heard this and cast questioning gazes.

"Hmph, such big words. Why don't you take out something better than this to show us?" A sharp voice came from the side; the speaker was a short alien creature with three eyes.

Ye Qiu ignored his provocation and instead took out the gemstone containing powerful life energy, which he had previously obtained on a mysterious planet, from his storage space. As soon as the gemstone appeared, it instantly emitted a dazzling light. The light contained a rich aura of life, making everyone around feel a sense of warmth and vitality.

"This... what kind of treasure is this? To be so powerful!" everyone exclaimed.

Ye Qiu held the gemstone in his hand, fiddling with it lightly, a hint of smugness on his face: "Have you seen it now? The energy and value contained in this gemstone are not something your tiny crystal can compare to."

"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully performed a prestige act, gaining 150 points of prestige value."

The three-eyed alien creature was instantly speechless and slunk away.

In the competition area of the gala, various exciting matches were taking place. There were flight races testing speed, gladiatorial combat testing strength, and strategy duels showcasing wisdom, among others.

Ye Qiu watched these matches, and a desire to challenge them surged in his heart. He walked to the competition registration desk and signed up for all the events.

"Are you sure you want to participate in all the events? This is not an easy task; don't end up losing too ugly later," the staff at the registration desk reminded.

Ye Qiu smiled slightly: "Rest assured, I am just letting you witness what true strength is."

The first event was the flight race. The contestants stood beside their respective aircraft, ready. With a command, the contestants started their aircraft and dashed out like lightning.

Ye Qiu did not use any aircraft. He lightly tapped his feet on the ground, his figure moving like electricity as he flew out directly. His speed was extremely fast; in an instant, he overtook all the contestants, leaving a brilliant trail of Star Power in the air.

"This... he actually didn't use an aircraft!"

"Too fast, it's simply incredible!"

The audience exclaimed one after another, shocked by Ye Qiu's performance, their mouths agape.

Ye Qiu easily crossed the finish line first. He landed slowly on the ground, brushed off non-existent dust from his body, and looked indifferent: "This race is too simple; it has absolutely no challenge."

"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully performed a prestige act, gaining 180 points of prestige value."

Next was the gladiatorial combat competition. The participating contestants were all huge, muscular creatures. They stood in the gladiatorial arena, sizing each other up, full of gunpowder smoke.

Ye Qiu walked into the gladiatorial arena. His figure appeared somewhat petite in front of these huge creatures, but his eyes were full of confidence.

"With your small size, you dare to come and participate in gladiatorial combat?" a huge alien creature mocked.

Ye Qiu did not respond. He walked to the center of the gladiatorial arena and gripped a huge stone pillar with both hands. This stone pillar weighed dozens of tons and was a prop used to test strength.

Ye Qiu exerted a little force with his arms and shouted: "Rise!" The stone pillar was actually lifted easily over his head by him. Not satisfied with that, he used both hands to spin the stone pillar rapidly. The powerful air currents brought up by the stone pillar forced the people around to retreat.

"This... is this still human?"

"Such terrifying strength, it's simply unheard of!"

The audience was completely shocked by Ye Qiu's performance; cheers and exclamations rose one after another.

Ye Qiu slammed the stone pillar heavily onto the ground, and the ground was smashed into a huge crater. He clapped his hands and looked at the alien creature that had mocked him: "Do you still think I am small now?"

"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully performed a prestige act, gaining 200 points of prestige value."

In the strategy duel competition, Ye Qiu faced various complex situations and problems with ease. His thinking was agile, his analysis of problems was thorough, and every decision was extremely precise, leaving his opponents with no power to parry.

"This Ye Qiu is not only powerful in strength, but his wisdom is also outstanding!"

"He is simply an all-around existence; it's too terrifying!"

The crowd's praise for Ye Qiu was endless.

After a series of matches, Ye Qiu achieved an overwhelming victory in every event. His name instantly spread throughout the entire interstellar gala, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

At the gala's banquet, representatives from various civilizations came to toast Ye Qiu, expressing their respect for him.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, your strength and wisdom make us deeply admire you. We hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future," said a leader of an alien civilization wearing a gorgeous robe.

Ye Qiu picked up his wine glass and took an elegant sip: "Cooperation is naturally possible, but before that, you must properly improve your own strength, otherwise I have no interest."

"Congratulations to the host, you have successfully performed a prestige act, gaining 220 points of prestige value."

Halfway through the banquet, suddenly, all the lights in the venue went out, plunging it into darkness. Immediately after, a sinister voice sounded: "Ye Qiu, you have stolen the spotlight today. Let's see how much longer you can be smug!"

As the voice faded, a group of black shadows emerged from all directions, rushing toward Ye Qiu and the Four Heroines.

Ye Qiu snorted coldly: "With just these little tricks, you want to deal with me?" He activated his Star Power, and instantly, brilliant light lit up around his body, dispelling the darkness.

Under the illumination of the light, everyone saw the true face of these black shadows; it turned out to be a group of alien creatures eroded by Darkness Power.

"Who instructed you? How dare you cause trouble at this interstellar gala!" Ye Qiu shouted loudly.

A strange laugh came from the black shadows: "Ye Qiu, you don't need to know who instructed us. Today is your death day." After speaking, the black shadows launched another attack.

Ye Qiu formed seals with his hands, and rays of starlight shot out from his fingertips, exploding into powerful energy waves after hitting the black shadows.

The Four Heroines were not to be outdone and cast their own abilities to assist Ye Qiu. Xiao Meng summoned spiritual fire, illuminating a larger area, while Lia released ice shards to attack the black shadows.

But there were too many black shadows, and new ones kept pouring in. Just at this moment, a flash of determination crossed Ye Qiu's eyes. He took a rune from his bosom, injected a large amount of Star Power into it, and threw it into the air.

The rune instantly bloomed with dazzling light, forming a huge protective shield that enveloped everyone.

The black shadows collided with the protective shield, making a crackling sound. Ye Qiu took the opportunity to search for the source of the black shadows and discovered a Black-Robed Figure in the corner controlling it all.

Ye Qiu broke through the encirclement of black shadows and rushed toward the Black-Robed Figure. The Black-Robed Figure was panicked and wanted to escape, but it was too late.

Ye Qiu grabbed him and asked coldly: "Speak, who instructed you?" The Black-Robed Figure trembled and revealed that the mastermind behind it was actually the metallic creature that had lost to him earlier.

Ye Qiu sneered and handed the Black-Robed Figure over to the security personnel of the interstellar gala to deal with, and the disturbance was thus quelled.
