291: Chapter 291 The Main City of a Cosmic-Level Mega-Mega-Game

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Mythic-grade Composite Environment/Resource Card — [Myriad Realms Black Market · White Dwarf Energy Hub]!]

[Card Properties: Contains one sealed dead white dwarf, capable of providing near-infinite stellar-level energy! Contains the soul imprints of a million high-dimensional alien biological entities, which can be extracted and converted into massive amounts of military merit points and card-making materials at any time! Contains a complete high-dimensional interstellar trading system and technology map!]

"Whew... Satisfying!"

Chen Xi exhaled a long breath of turbid air. Although forcibly turning a white dwarf into a card had once again caused his mental sea to feel the stinging pain of depletion, looking at this god-tier card in his hand—which was essentially a "super power bank and infinite resource library"—he felt an unspeakable sense of refreshment in every pore of his body.

With a flick of his wrist, he stored this divine card into the core card slot of the [Heaven-Reaching Divine Domain].

Immediately following that, Chen Xi's gaze fell upon his left hand, on that dark-gold metal fragment he had protected with a separate spatial barrier during the recent catastrophe—[Imperial Treasury Key · God-Creating Cube Fragment]!

When this cube fragment came into contact with the aura of the "Administrator of the Sparks of Civilization" on Chen Xi's palm, it was as if a wanderer who had been lost for hundreds of thousands of years had finally returned to his mother's embrace, letting out a cheerful "vrooming" hum that pulsed like a heartbeat.

Chen Xi did not immediately investigate the secrets inside the cube. He knew very well that such a terrifying dimensional collapse had just occurred here, and the death of the Ninth Prince of the Star God Race could absolutely not be hidden. The Interstellar Allied Forces would soon swarm over like sharks smelling blood.

"Xiao Xiao, Mu Rou, Ye Fei, Lin Shan, back to the stardust!"

Chen Xi turned around, and the Void Elf disguise on his body completely faded away at this moment, restoring his original appearance as an Earth human with black hair and black eyes.

A flicker of extreme coldness and anticipation flashed in his eyes:

"The goods are in hand, and the black market has been packed away. Next..."

"We return to the Sirius Sector. Let's see how our group of 'fourth calamity' from Earth have been farming those alien bugs in the Divine Domain over this past month!"

Swoosh—!!!

The rear of the sleek stardust assault ship sprayed out a ghostly blue curvature exhaust flame, turning into a drop of ink that blended into the night, silently leaping and disappearing into the vast universe.

Only this empty starry sky remained, silently narrating the crazy feat of a mortal reducing a god's dimension and slaughtering them just now.

Millions of light-years away from the original site of the Myriad Realms Black Market, in the most core and prosperous star sector of the Milky Way—[Star God Race Ancestral Star · Yaoyang Heaven].

This super-giant star, tens of thousands of times larger than the sun, was not an ordinary natural celestial body, but a supreme divine court forcibly transformed by the supreme power of the Star God Race's mighty beings. On the surface of the star, countless magnificent temples built of pure laws of light and gold floated, where countless Astral God people with wings of light lived and multiplied, enjoying the worship and offerings of billions of subsidiary civilizations.

And inside the [Great Emperor's Divine Palace] at the very center of the divine court, which symbolized supreme power.

Crack—!!!

An extremely crisp, yet ear-piercing cracking sound, like a thunderclap from the nine heavens, boomed in the depths of the quiet and sacred divine palace!

Among the one hundred and eight [Life Soul Gold Plates] enshrined on the highest level of the palace altar, representing the life essence of the core royal members of the Star God Race, the gold plate belonging to the "Ninth Prince" actually cracked down the middle without warning, and then, in a dim gray light, completely turned into a pile of lifeless powder!

"No... This is impossible!!!"

The Cardinal in charge of guarding the Hall of Life Souls felt his legs go weak and knelt directly on the ground, his whole body shaking like a sieve, cold sweat instantly drenching his magnificent liturgical robes.

"The Ninth Highness... the Ninth Highness's Life Soul Plate... shattered?!"

"His Highness went to the Myriad Realms Black Market to attend an auction with two Lv.120 Divine Guards! In this vicinity of the Orion Arm, who would dare... who could kill the Ninth Highness?!"

Rumble————!!!!!

At the moment the Cardinal was paralyzed with horror, the entire [Yaoyang Heaven] star erupted in an unprecedented, terrifying solar prominence! Billions of violent coronal mass ejections soared into the sky, and the temperature of the entire divine court instantly spiked to a terrifying degree capable of melting low-dimensional space!

A wave of enraged pressure belonging to a [True God Emperor] of Lv.180 or higher, truly standing at the pinnacle of the universe, swept through every corner of the divine court like a materialized tsunami!

"Who is it..."

A grand, majestic, yet terrifying divine voice laced with endless icy killing intent rumbled in the depths of the souls of countless Astral God people:

"Who is it!!! Who dares to erase my son's soul essence?!"

"Great... Great Emperor, please appease your anger!!!"

Tens of thousands of Astral God elders and generals flew out from their respective temples, kneeling tremblingly in the void, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Investigate!!! Investigate for me!!! Block all interstellar jump channels in the Orion Arm! Trace back the river of time at the Myriad Realms Black Market!!!"

The Astral God Emperor's terrifying giant eyes, composed of pure stellar cores, slowly opened in the void, emitting a killing intent that caused the surrounding space to crack inch by inch:

"No matter who he is, no matter which low-dimensional gutter he is hiding in... I will capture his soul alive and roast it in a sunspot for a hundred thousand epochs!!!"

"Issue the [Highest Universal Level · Astral God Kill Order]! Anyone who can provide clues about the murderer will be rewarded with ten star systems! Anyone who can kill the murderer will be granted the position of an honorary elder of the Star God Race!"

On this day, the entire Milky Way was shaken.

The thunderous wrath of the Star God Race turned into countless light-speed interstellar broadcasts, instantly spreading through tens of thousands of advanced civilizations and interstellar pirate camps via the high-dimensional cosmic network.

Everyone knew that a bloodbath capable of sweeping through a small half of the universe was about to be thoroughly unleashed because of this wanted order!

...

And at this moment, Chen Xi, the initiator of all these earth-shattering waves, had already driven the stardust back to the headquarters of the Earth Expeditionary Force—[Sirius Sector · First Outpost]—safe and sound via long-distance curvature jump.

When the streamlined hull of the stardust slowly landed at the central spaceport of the outpost, as soon as Chen Xi stepped out of the hatch, he was completely shocked by the sight before him.

"Is this... is this still the same Sirius Sector we left a month ago?!"

Li Murou, Su Xiaoxiao, and the others following behind Chen Xi were even more wide-eyed and dumbfounded.

Where was the desolate and silent star graveyard? This was clearly a [Universe-Class Super-Large Online Game Main City] full of cyberpunk heavy industrial style and nonsensical fanatical atmosphere!
