216: Determination!

After half a day of searching for suitable housing, Chen Fan finally bought an extremely luxurious castle in the castle district, three hundred kilometers from Qiulong City.

It was a massive castle, fifteen kilometers long and wide.

Within this lavishly decorated castle, there was also a naturally formed huge lake and a Star-Plucking Platform that reached into the clouds.

Rock gardens, ponds, pavilions, and small bridges over flowing water were countless.

Most importantly, this castle also had residential areas capable of housing several million people.

This would be the future base of the Chen Family on Qiulong Star!

If other people from Earth came to Qiulong Star, they could also stay here, which was very convenient.

The moment Chen Fan saw this castle, he seemed to envision countless future generations of the Chen Family filling it.

Therefore, Chen Fan spent 1,000,000 cosmic coins without hesitation.

He directly bought the entire castle as his first base on Qiulong Star.

The owner was a young female of the Nine-Tailed Race, who looked no older than sixteen or seventeen.

But Chen Fan didn't think so.

After the transaction was completed, this woman, with her tails and fox ears, actually offered to stay and manage the castle for him.

Perhaps he was too handsome and attracted this woman, which is why she offered to stay, Chen Fan mused.

He looked at this young, beautiful fox-human woman, whose appearance and figure were in no way inferior to Isadora's, and agreed without a second thought.

In addition, Chen Fan also provided this Nine-Tailed Race woman named A Li with tens of thousands of Planetary Level slaves to help her manage the enormous castle.

By the time everything was settled, dusk had already fallen.

Chen Fan stayed in the castle for a simple meal, then began to explore Qiulong City.

The night sky of Qiulong Star was especially brilliant, with stars like diamonds and a full moon like a disk.

The pure moonlight fell like a silken ribbon onto the Earth, exuding an incredibly serene beauty.

Outside Qiulong City, on a small hill over two thousand meters high, Chen Fan and Liu Qiyue stood side by side, quietly observing this strange yet familiar city.

As a newcomer, Chen Fan experienced the vastness and prosperity of the cosmic starry sky for the first time.

Qiulong Star was filled with powerful individuals and was complex.

The true and cruel law of survival in deep space made one feel a chilling cold to the bone.

Now, Chen Fan also understood.

Strength was the only pass in this deep space.

Without strength, one could not move an inch!

“Qi Yue, if I continue cultivating at my current speed, how long will it take me to break through to Universe Rank!?”

Chen Fan looked at the enchanting woman beside him, her black hair gently swaying, and asked.

“Master has only just broken through to Astral Rank, and he’s already thinking about Universe Rank?”

Liu Qiyue smiled gently, her red lips parting slightly as she asked, “Isn’t that a bit too impatient?”

“Yes, I am very impatient,” Chen Fan said truthfully.

During his time on Qiulong Star, he had encountered World Lord Kaido and World Lord Yaso, gaining a deep understanding of strength.

Then, Chen Fan also saw tens of millions of slaves in the slave market, as well as the three Universe Rank brothers, Ta Yi, Ta Er, and Ta San, who had been captured.

Since then, a deep worry always lingered in Chen Fan’s heart.

Under the starry sky, Liu Qiyue looked at Chen Fan, whose brows were etched with urgency, and slowly said:

“Little Master, I know you are very anxious, but please don’t be impatient.The path of cultivation requires gradual progress, and every foundational step must be solid.

Moreover, with your terrifying cultivation speed and a unique special soul in this universe, surrounded by so many resources, it will only take four or five years to cultivate to Universe Rank, perhaps even faster.”

“Four or five years to break through to Universe Rank, that’s still incredibly fast!”

Chen Fan was startled, then continued, “It’s 2018 now, and the Universe Genius Battle is in 2066, so there are still 48 years left.”

Chen Fan murmured to himself, his gaze profound, seemingly pondering something.

“The Universe Genius Battle is actually prepared by the Human Race of this universe to select and cultivate peak geniuses.They need geniuses, but humanity needs top powerhouses even more!”

As she spoke, a glint flashed in Liu Qiyue’s eyes.

“Little Master, with your current talent, you would receive core cultivation in any top-tier force, so you must not underestimate yourself, but…”

Mid-sentence, Liu Qiyue suddenly stopped.

Her bright, beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Fan, and she said, word by word:

“Ultimately, this universe can only be considered your second home.Your homeland is in that vast and mysterious ancient civilization…”

“Enough! I understand!” This time, Chen Fan did not let Liu Qiyue continue.

Although he was very curious about his origins, Chen Fan was very clear now.

His memory and soul were simply Chen Fan’s, nothing more!

Now, he was the number one powerhouse on Earth, with an extraordinary status!

Moreover, Chen Fan still had his family living on Earth, as well as his three beautiful wives, Venina, Isadora, and Yao Rao.

In the future, he would also have many children of his own.

Compared to his solitary life in his previous incarnation, the current Chen Fan was undoubtedly very lucky and happy!!

As for who he was in his previous life, it actually no longer held much relevance for the current Chen Fan.

It passed like a wisp of smoke, everything dissipated.

Seemingly sensing Chen Fan’s resolve, a hint of sadness inevitably appeared on Liu Qiyue’s snow-white face.

Then, in the enchanting woman’s bright, diamond-like eyes, a ripple of slight disappointment spread.

“Little Master, you shouldn’t forget all that…”

“Actually, it’s not impossible for you to participate in the Universe Genius Battle.The answer lies on the hundredth floor of Blade Hell…”

Liu Qiyue murmured in a voice only she could hear.

Chen Fan looked up, the myriad stars reflected in his pupils, and he calmly said:

“Actually, I really want to compete with the peak geniuses of other Human Race in the universe, but if I don’t have the opportunity, then so be it…”

As soon as his voice fell, black flames faintly burned in Chen Fan’s eyes.

After all, this was the Universe Peak Genius Battle!

The top geniuses of all races across the entire universe would gather here to compete.

And Chen Fan was no exception; he yearned to prove himself, not for the ultimate rewards and the four secret realms!

Reborn into this life, Chen Fan wanted to prove himself!

Moreover, the current Chen Fan had inherited from two Universe Overlords, Blood Blade Venerable and Heavenly Azure Dragon Lord.

Coupled with his special golden finger.

The current Chen Fan was confident that he was in no way inferior to anyone!!

“Alas, you are indeed still such a stubborn person!”

“Both in your past and present lives, it is the same!”

Feeling the blazing fighting spirit emanating from Chen Fan, Liu Qiyue sighed with what seemed like relief.

Chen Fan remained silent, simply gazing at the starry sky, as if searching for the direction of home.

He knew that Qiulong Star was infinitely far from Earth, yet he persisted as always.

This was Chen Fan’s persistence, and also his resolve!

The night wind gently caressed them; Chen Fan and Liu Qiyue remained silent for a long time, together feeling the cool night breeze on their faces.

Not far away, Babata lay on a huge bluestone slab several feet square.

His blood-red eyes blinked, mimicking the twinkling stars in the sky.

The night was still, and the three of them stood beneath the starry sky, forming a tranquil and peaceful scene.
