Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Original secret realm, Wuchen continent.

Back in the manor bedroom, Li Qi took the world ring in the room and observed it with his consciousness.

In the world ring, the ten-kilometer-high main tree of the ancient Guyu tree stood on the continent, with a huge crown covering the sky and the earth.

Innate secret method - branch transplantation!

The ancient Guyu tree shook slightly, the leaves rustled, and a branch several meters long broke off from the crown and fell. Before the broken branch fell to the ground, it had taken root and sprouted, and in a moment it grew to the limit of a hundred meters in height.

"Strange, it should be said that nesting dolls is not allowed by the original universe, but the current branch of the Guyu Ancient Tree is indeed like the clone of the main tree."

"The soul of the newly conceived branch No. 2 still exists, and it is not like the first conceived branch, where a part of the soul is split from the main tree."

The newly conceived branch No. 2 of the Guyu Ancient Tree carefully felt the situation of its own soul, "Except that the soul was a little weaker when it was first split, the current soul strength is no different from that of the human body."

Seeing that there was no problem with the newly conceived branch No. 2, the soul still existed, and it could still perceive the laws as before, which made Li Qi feel much more relieved.

His consciousness returned from the world ring, and he entered the virtual universe, preparing to apply to complete the cultivation task.

...

Manor No. 115, Yuxiangshan Primitive District.

In the study, Li Qi summoned the light curtain, clicked on the 'Background Management' interface, and then applied to confirm the completion of the cultivation task in the 'Cultivation' interface.

"Hello, Your Highness Li Qi." A new light screen popped up, and a beautiful woman appeared in the light screen, asking in a gentle voice: "Are you applying to confirm the completion of your mission?"

"Yes." Li Qi nodded.

"Excuse me, how many of the two cultivation tasks in the Xueluo world have you completed, Your Highness Li Qi?" the beautiful woman asked.

"Both have been completed." Li Qi replied.

"Please wait for a moment, Your Highness Li Qi, and a spaceship will soon arrive at the manor where Your Highness lives for verification in reality."

The beautiful woman said: "If the verification is passed, Your Highness will be rewarded with points."

Li Qi returned to reality and waited for the arrival of the staff of the Virtual Universe Company while observing the statue of the Beast God.

...

A few hours later.

A gray sword-shaped spaceship only 100 meters long arrived and stopped on the open space in the manor territory.

Li Qi went to greet it with the guards, including the leader of the guard army, Mu Li.

"Hello, Your Highness Li Qi." The door of the spaceship opened, and four men and women in black uniforms walked out. The leading black-clad woman said, "Your Highness, please enter the spaceship. Your guards don't need to come in."

"Okay."

Li Qi nodded and entered the spaceship, where there was an inspection cabin.

The leading black-clad woman said, "Your Highness Li Qi, after entering the inspection cabin, just follow the intelligent prompts."

The four men and women in black are all realm masters. Because they are not very talented in combat, they are people who handle various affairs.

There are also different levels of status in handling various affairs, and the four of them are the people who handle core affairs. Naturally, they know that Li Qi is a peerless genius who appears once in millions of epochs, so their attitude is quite respectful.

"Yes." Li Qi nodded and stepped into the inspection cabin.

Inside the cabin.

An electronic voice sounded: "Li Qi, please take out a blood Luo crystal and put it on the table in front of you."

Li Qi placed a blood Luo crystal on the alloy table.

"The first task is to obtain a Blood Luo crystal. If you complete it, you will be rewarded with 10,000 points." The electronic voice said, "Li Qi, please prove that you are a Blood Warrior, and take out the Blood Luo badge and put it on the table."

Swish!

The fifth-level Force suit was separated, revealing a bare chest. Li Qi activated the Blood Luo power in his body, and suddenly a blood-red secret pattern appeared on his chest. Although the secret pattern was simple, it was like a whole, and it contained an extremely mysterious power.

With the appearance of the blood-red secret pattern, his compatibility with the major origins of the universe was directly doubled. At the same time, he threw out the Blood Luo badge and put it on the alloy table.

The blue light swept across Li Qi and the table.

"Confirmed!"

"Li Qi, congratulations on completing the second task, becoming a Blood Warrior and obtaining the Blood Luo badge, and receiving a reward of 100,000 points." The electronic voice said.

"110,000 points in hand." Li Qi smiled, and he was one step closer to exchanging for the fourth volume of "The True Explanation of the Divine Tree".

"Li Qi." A cold female voice sounded, "The information I will share with you through the virtual universe network system will involve the confidential information of my virtual universe company, please do not spread it."

"Yes." Li Qi nodded, he knew what the woman was going to say.

Seeing Li Qi nod calmly, the cold female voice paused for a moment and continued: "According to the requirements, we will routinely question anyone who enters the Xueluo world."

"Since you can become a blood warrior and pay a blood crystal, you should have extra blood crystals on you."

"Blood crystals are only available in the Xueluo world. They are extremely mysterious crystals in our vast universe and are extremely important."

"In our human race, blood crystals are defined as 'forbidden items'. The so-called 'forbidden items' are items that are absolutely prohibited from being sold. Once someone is found to be selling them."

"The Virtual Universe Company, the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, the Universe Mercenary Alliance, the Universe First Bank, and the Universe Galaxy Bank will directly confiscate the blood crystals and impose severe punishment."

Li Qi nodded. He still knew something about 'forbidden items'. For example, powerful weapons such as star destroyers and precious and rare resources are all 'forbidden items' and cannot be sold privately. If you want to buy and sell them, you must go through the hands of the five giants.

The cold female voice said: "You obtained the Blood Luo Crystal through legal and normal channels, and we will not rob it."

"But... you must not sell the Blood Luo Crystal to others, you can only use it yourself."

"If you want to give it to others... please apply to the Virtual Universe Company first, and you can only give it to others after the application is approved."

"Second, if you want to sell the Blood Luo Crystal, our Virtual Universe Company will be responsible for purchasing it, and one Blood Luo Crystal will be given a price of 600 points."

"The company's recycling price is only 600 points." Li Qi shook his head in his heart, "Blood Luo Crystal is so precious that even the King Immortals need to compete with each other to buy it. How can I sell it for 600 points?"

"Wait until I fuse the Blood Luo Crystal to the limit and become a strong man, I can apply to give the Blood Luo Crystal to outstanding juniors for use."

However, he also understood that if he wanted to give the Blood Luo Crystal to outstanding juniors for use, even if he became the King Invincible, it would be a bit difficult. I am afraid that only a strong man at the level of the universe overlord can easily give it to the juniors for use.

After all, the strong have privileges. As long as they don't touch the bottom line, even if they have various shortcomings, they can be tolerated.

"Are you willing to sell Blood Crystal?" the cold voice asked.

"No." Li Qi shook his head, "I don't have many Blood Crystals. I have to fuse them myself and don't have any extra to sell."

"Well." The cold voice didn't continue to talk about this matter, "Our conversation ends here. Today's conversation is confidential and must not be leaked."

"Understood." Li Qi nodded.

Then the electronic voice sounded in the test cabin: "Li Qi, the test is over, you can leave."

As the voice fell, the door of the test cabin opened.

...

Standing on the grass in front of the manor, Li Qi watched the sword-shaped spacecraft leave. Manle's ten jars of fine wine, Yunyan, were also taken away after the test.

Back in the bedroom, Li Qi began to think, "I just passed the ninth floor of Tongtian Bridge and got 25,600 points, but even so, I am still tens of thousands of points away from the 300,000 points required to buy the fourth volume of "The True Solution of the Divine Tree." "If you want to get points, you still have to do the cultivation task."

If you didn't sell Blood Crystal before, you can only complete the cultivation task.

He summoned the light curtain and opened the training task interface.

According to the rules of the Virtual Universe Company, only cosmic-level geniuses can accept training tasks, domain master-level geniuses are sent out, and realm master-level geniuses are life-and-death trials.

And cosmic-level geniuses can accept a maximum of 10 training tasks every 100 years.

In order to prevent crazy and continuous acceptance of tasks, the total amount of tasks accepted by each person is limited.

For a cosmic-level genius, members of the original secret realm can accept up to three desperate-level tasks! Members of the Taichu secret realm can accept up to two! Members of the Tiandi secret realm and the Doomsday secret realm can only accept one desperate-level task at most!

This is also for safety considerations. If you don’t have enough strength, you will go to the desperate level, isn’t it looking for death?

Secondly, it is also resource allocation.

Desperate-level tasks are extremely dangerous, but the points rewards are also very exaggerated. Members of the original secret realm can accept up to three, which is the highest.

For dangerous-level tasks, members of the original secret realm can accept up to 15! Members of the Taichu secret realm can accept up to 10! Members of the Tiandi secret realm can accept up to 6! Members of the Doomsday secret realm can accept up to 3!

Among them, the reward for desperate-level tasks is at least 100,000 points, some are hundreds of thousands of points, or even millions of points!

The reward for dangerous-level tasks is generally 10,000-20,000 points, and the maximum is 100,000 points.

The difficult level is 1,000-2,000 points.

The ordinary level is 100-200 points.

As for the safe level, it is pitifully small and can be ignored!

"The dangerous-level tasks in the original secret realm..."

"On Veska Star, there is only one task, and the reward is 20,000 points." Li Qi flipped through the list of dangerous-level tasks, "It's you!"

A few months later, Li Qi returned from Vesta Star and completed the training task and obtained 20,000 points.

In the following days, he took on three more dangerous-level tasks, and after completing them, he obtained 30,000 points, which was more than 10,000 points away from purchasing the fourth volume of "The True Solution of the Divine Tree".

However, he did not find the secrets of these three worlds, so in addition to the points reward, there was no extra income.

…

“Giant God World…”

Looking at the task list on the screen in front of him, Li Qi glanced at the Tas World, which was ranked at the bottom of the task list. Just as he was about to click to apply, he received a video call request from Manle.

Li Qi clicked to accept, and Manle’s face appeared on the screen.

"Li Qi!" As soon as Manle's face appeared, he heard him shouting: "Do you still have that fine wine Yunyan?"

Li Qi said unhappily: "No more!"

"No more?" Manle was slightly stunned, and then said a little frustrated: "This fine wine Yunyan tastes really good. I wanted to give it to my father to try when I went back, but I accidentally drank it all."

"It's really gone!" Li Qi shook his head and said: "Only Ke Di's ten jars are left. In addition to drinking mine myself, I gave some away."

Hearing this, Manle didn't want to rob Ke Di's ten jars, so he had to ask: "Where did you get this fine wine Yunyan?"

"Where..." Li Qi thought, "The Virtual Universe Company only asked not to reveal the secret of the Blood Luo Crystal, but didn't say that the existence of the Blood Luo Continent could not be revealed. How about... try it?"

Thinking of this, he pretended to be helpless and said: "If you want it, go to the Blood Luo World in the dangerous training mission."

"Danger level, Xueluo World." Manle repeated, then nodded heavily and said: "It's not just a dangerous level training mission, Kedi dares to accept even a desperate level training mission, so I have no problem accepting a dangerous level one."

"What did you say? Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You just said that Kedi took over the desperate mission. "

"Really?" Manle nodded, "This was before you broke through the ninth floor of Tongtian Bridge."

Li Qi nodded, "I understand."

"Li Qi!" Manle's expression changed, "Are you also going to take on a desperate mission?"

Li Qi smiled and said, "I don't have this idea for the time being. I'm not as strong as Kedi."

Hearing this, Manle's nervous face relaxed and said, "It's okay if you don't. I thought you were stimulated by Kedi and wanted to take on the desperate mission."

"How is that possible?" Li Qi smiled, chatted with Manle for a while, and then hung up the video call.

…

"Just accept a desperate level mission!" Looking at the list of training tasks, Li Qi narrowed his eyes, "Kedi dares to take on a desperate level training mission without the power of a clone. Of course I can also accept it if I have the power of a clone!"

Knowing that Kedi was on a desperate level training mission, he regarded him as a competitor, and he did not want to lag too far behind.

What's more, he hasn't encountered life-threatening danger for a long time, even after completing five 'dangerous level' training tasks.

Of course, he was not in danger, which had a lot to do with his caution.

Li Qi put his finger on the light screen, and the interface returned to the training mission option. Without hesitation, he clicked on the 'Desperate Level' category.

Beep beep beep...

The moment he pointed his finger, the light screen flashed with red light, and at the same time, a harsh prompt sounded.

"Li Qi, I solemnly remind you that this is a desperate mission. In the history of our Virtual Universe Company, many members of the Original Secret Realm and Taichu Secret Realm have lost their lives after accepting desperate missions. I suggest you... go through a few more qualification battles and try again. Take on the desperate mission."

An electronic prompt sounded, "If you want to go back, please choose Cancel. If you want to take on the Desperate Level mission, please choose OK."

“Once it’s established, there’s no going back.”

"We must carry out a desperate mission!"

Li Qi clicked Confirm.

drop!

The page on the light screen automatically refreshed, and a brand new page appeared. This page can only be seen when you actually start to take on the desperate mission.

At the top of the page is a line of text - "Despair-level missions, the mortality rate is 90%. Surviving from a desperate situation requires strength and luck. You can choose up to three desperate-level missions. Please choose carefully."

"The following is a list of desperate missions:

1. Purgatory Abyss (the original secret realm of Virtual Universe Company)

…

2. Cloud Palace (The Secret Realm of Shenshi, Giant Ax Fighting Arena)

…

8. Magic Mountain (The Secret Realm of Taichu of Virtual Universe Company)

…

12. Death Star (Cosmic Mercenary Alliance Glory Secret Realm)

…

18. Blood Demon Continent (The Secret Realm of the First Bank of the Universe)”

"There are a total of 18 desperate missions, four of which are in the four secret realms of Virtual Universe Company, and the rest are in the secret realms of the other four giants."

Li Qi looked at the desperate missions that made people feel a sense of crisis just by their names, and thought to himself: "There is no need to go to the Magic Mountain mission. The inheritance hall inside is protected by immortals. I have no hidden aura." With the ability, it is impossible to enter the inheritance hall."

"Then..." After thinking for a while, he looked at one of the training tasks, "It's you!"
