Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

In the virtual universe, "Amethyst Island" is under the jurisdiction of Qianwu Continent.

This is an extremely beautiful island made entirely of purple crystals. The entire island is 70 to 80% larger than the lava island.

There are palaces made of rolling amethysts on the island. The height and majesty of each palace are clearly distinguished, and the central amethyst palace with a height of tens of thousands of kilometers is the most dazzling one.

Under the sunlight, this majestic amethyst palace reflects various brilliant colors.

This Amethyst Island is the office of the Virtual Universe Company's branch in Ganwu. Because the universe is so vast, there are tens of thousands of star fields in Ganwu Universe alone, so this office is naturally located in the virtual universe.

In the tall hall, there is a large round table with a diameter of more than a kilometer. There are three tall thrones beside the round table. At this moment, there is one person sitting on each throne.

"Tell me, what does His Highness Li Qi think? He never came to the Qianwu branch of Virtual Universe Company before, but now he goes directly to Qianwu Star."

The person who spoke was a burly man who was somewhat similar to a walrus. He had two huge tusks protruding downwards. He was wearing a gorgeous dark blue robe. There was a trace of cold air all over his body, as if he was surrounded by frost.

"I don't understand, but judging from the latest news obtained by our intelligence department, His Highness Li Qi cannot tolerate sand in his eyes."

A stocky man with an obviously short stature and a thick golden beard said: "He went to Yuanchen Universe Kingdom this time, but he sentenced many Luojia clan high-level officials to death, and he still knew that they were King Hong'e. execution of the death penalty."

"In addition, there are 24 senior officials from a branch of the Luojia clan, all of whom were sentenced to death for their crimes."

The short and stocky man said solemnly: "On his trip to Yuanchen Universe Kingdom alone, six immortal gods were sentenced to death, which shows how ruthless His Highness Li Qi is."

"The six immortal gods of the Luojia tribe?!"

After hearing the words of the short and stocky man, the last man wearing a white armor with a pair of white wings on his back, his whole person was shrouded in a hazy halo, making it difficult to see his appearance, whispered softly: "Your Highness is really brave. Ah! That King Hong'e is an invincible king."

"Heh, what's so daring about this?"

The burly man who looked like a walrus chuckled and said, "His Royal Highness Li Qi is a favored direct disciple beyond the existence of the Lord of the Universe. His cultivation talent is also strong enough to set a record for passing the original Tongtian Mountain at the Universe level. What's wrong with him with such a status?" Dare?"

Li Qi broke through the cosmic-level primitive Tongtian Mountain. This has long been spread among human immortal gods, and even many hostile or affiliated ethnic groups know this news.

"Indeed, if His Highness Li Qi wants to, he can easily investigate the entire Ganwu branch."

The short and stocky man looked sideways at the winged man shrouded in light and said, "Even the military department you manage, Marquis Xinli, is the same."

"So, this is the most difficult thing!" The winged man Xin Lihou said a little upset: "If it were replaced by other current original secret realm masters, it would be difficult for them to thoroughly investigate the military department, and Ganwu Universe Country may not cooperate with them. But if His Highness Li Qi wants to conduct a thorough investigation..."

The winged man Xin Lihou did not finish what he said, but the other two people present also understood that if Li Qi wanted to thoroughly investigate the military department, the Ganwu Universe Country would definitely cooperate. After all, no one wanted to offend his identity.

In fact, everyone knows that Li Qi is nominally the fourth giant in the Qianwu branch of Virtual Universe Company, but in fact he is the seventh giant in Qianwu Universe Country.

Well...literally, the most powerful person except for the five giants such as Virtual Universe Company and the leader of Ganwu Kingdom!

"Marquis Xinli, your military department is fine. Even if you are thoroughly investigated, the most you can do is lose your position as minister."

The burly man who looked like a walrus said in a deep voice: "My business department is the real trouble. There are too many messy transactions. No matter how good the accounts are and how much evidence is destroyed, it is easy to find if you look carefully. If something goes wrong, just follow the clue..."

Having said this, the burly man shook his head slightly. It had not been long since he had been the Minister of Commerce and he knew how chaotic the Ministry of Commerce was.

Hearing this, Marquis Xinli, a man with wings, smiled and said: "Haha, Marquis Shen Yi, you have just taken office not long ago. Even if the Ministry of Commerce finds out the problem, it is left by the predecessor and it is none of your business."

"That's what I say, but it's been more than 100,000 years since I took office. If we really want to pursue him, I will definitely not be able to keep my position as minister."

The burly man Shen Yihou shook his head again, and finally changed the topic: "On the contrary, it is the intelligence department of Miyunhou. The problem is much smaller than ours. Even if it is thoroughly investigated, it will probably be a symbolic punishment. A little activity can save the life." The position of minister.”

"It can't be that easy." The short and stocky man Mi Yunhou sighed: "The position of branch minister is not watched by a group of people, and every carrot is a trap. As long as there is a problem in office, a lot of people will take action. I'll take it away."

When Marquis Xinli and Marquis Shen Yi heard this, they were also silent. The position of minister of the branch of the Higher Universe Country was indeed in demand. He controlled great power and was much more powerful than the ordinary feudal-level immortals. Who wouldn't want to be?

In the Human 1004 Advanced Universe State, the number of branch ministers of the five giants is only over 11,000. However, the number of immortal princes in the human race is many times that of 11,000. Naturally, many people are watching.

Moreover, the minister's position also controls a large amount of resources. Even if it is only one ten thousandth or even one hundred thousandth taken from them, it will be enough to fill his pockets.

The winged man Xin Lihou said: "We must find a way to make friends with His Highness Li Qi, and we cannot let him thoroughly investigate the Ganwu branch, otherwise the three of us will not be able to keep the position of minister."

The burly man Shen Yihou said: "Indeed, we can't afford to provoke him, so we can only make friends with him."

If it's just an ordinary member of the original secret realm master level who wants to investigate their three major departments, they may be able to teach the other party a lesson, let the other party retreat before the difficulties, and get some benefits and everyone can live in peace.

But facing Li Qi, who has an extremely powerful identity and background, they can't afford such thoughts. If they take action, they will be courting death!

"I have formulated a plan, let's take a look." The short and stocky man Mi Yunhou said, and a light curtain appeared in front of them.

After reading the plan in the light curtain, the winged man Xin Lihou nodded and said: "This plan is good, just follow this plan."

"I agree. The three of us jointly invited you. I believe most immortals will not refuse." Shen Yihou, a burly man, also agreed.

"Okay, since you have no objection, let's implement this plan." The short, stocky man Mi Yunhou smiled.

…

Qianwu Universe Country, Qianwu Star.

This is an ancient, vast and prosperous planet with a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers and many spaceports and space cities built around it.

Every moment there are spaceships traveling to and from various spaceports and space cities, or heading to or leaving the huge Qianwu Star. There are also countless spaceships flying in from the endless starry sky, or leaving to the depths of the starry sky.

After three days of sailing, the silver-white sword-shaped spaceship arrived at Qianwu Star. As a powerful person under the command of the leader of Qianwu Kingdom, King Qi Mace's spaceship arrived at Qianwu Star smoothly without any obstruction.

The silver-white sword-shaped spaceship was parked above the bustling city. The hatch opened with a "chi" sound, and Li Qi and Mu Li flew out of the hatch.

Li Qi said to King Qimai at the cabin door: "Thank you, King Qimai."

King Qimai smiled and said, "It's just a small thing along the way."

Saying goodbye to King Qiqi, Li Qi watched the silver-white sword-shaped spaceship leave and fly towards the bustling city with tall buildings below.

…

Qianwu Universe Country is the universe country to which Virtual Universe Company belongs, so Qianwu Branch covers a very large area. The vast city on the ground at this moment is the actual location of Qianwu Branch, and tens of thousands of virtual universes live in it. Company members. Seeing the two people flying from high altitude, a group of space-level warriors rushed up to meet them. One of them shouted loudly and asked: "This is the Gansha branch of the Virtual Universe Company. Who are you?"

Mu Li didn't say anything, and the pressure that could only be achieved by immortal gods and above was released, directly covering the team of cosmic-level warriors.

Suddenly enveloped by the pressure of the Immortal God, the cosmic warrior who asked the question was frightened and exclaimed: "No... the Immortal God!"

"It's the pressure of the immortal gods!"

Below, a passing World Lord level felt the pressure, and jumped directly in front of the team of Universe level bodies. They released the world projection despite the pressure, covering everyone behind them for protection.

The Realm Master said respectfully: "This Immortal God, I don't know why you came to my Virtual Universe Company to work in the witchcraft branch."

Miao Li glanced at the world leader, and then introduced: "This is His Highness Li Qi, who currently serves as the Supervisory Envoy of the Gansha Branch of Virtual Universe Company!"

"Your Highness Li Qi?"

Hearing Miao Li's introduction, the world leader was shocked. This is His Highness Li Qi, who came in second in the last Peak Genius Competition. Why has he changed so much?

The Realm Master has also seen the peak genius battle, the arena showdown in Ganwu Universe Kingdom. Logically speaking, he should be able to recognize the genius Li Qi.

But the fact is that because Li Qi has become a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, after hundreds of years of cultivation and growth, his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. In addition, he is currently using a body, so it seems natural to outsiders that the changes have been great.

"I have seen His Highness Li Qi. I didn't know that His Highness was here. Please forgive me."

The Realm Master observed carefully and confirmed that Li Qi was very similar to the one in his memory. In addition, with the endorsement of an immortal god-level strongman, he was convinced that the person in front of him was really Li Qi.

Li Qi said: "Let's go, take me to see Marquis Shen Yi, Marquis Miyun and Marquis Xinli."

"Uh..." The Realm Master hesitated for a moment, and then sent a message: "Your Highness, Marquis Shen Yi, Marquis Miyun and Marquis Xinli have been waiting at the main entrance to welcome His Highness since three days ago."

"Meet me at the front door?" Li Qi said in confusion.

"Your Highness, formal greetings are always at the main entrance. I heard from above that Your Highness will come in through the main entrance." The Realm Master said in a message.

"How come I don't know about this?" Li Qi was surprised.

"This..." The Realm Master didn't know how to answer, so he could only ask tentatively through a message: "Your Highness, do you want me to ask?"

"Just ask." Li Qi said.

"Yes." The world leader responded and then contacted his superior.

…

Qianwu branch, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away at the main entrance, three people, Shen Yihou, Miyunhou and Xinlihou, led many senior officials of Qianwu branch to wait there.

Ever since they learned that Li Qi had left Yuanchen Universe Kingdom, they had been waiting here to show him enough respect and show their goodwill.

"Sir," at this time, an immortal god sent a message to Marquis Shen Yi: "His Royal Highness Li Qi has arrived at the branch."

"Huh?" Shen Yihou, who received the message, was confused, "Didn't he say that His Highness Li Qi was coming to the main entrance? Why did he suddenly enter the branch?"

Feeling confused, Shen Yihou sent a voice message to Mi Yunhou and asked, "Mi Yunhou, didn't you say that His Highness Li Qi would come to the main gate? How come I just got the news that His Highness Li Qi has already entered the branch?"

"Ah? Didn't Xin Lihou say that His Highness Li Qi would enter the branch from the main gate?" Mi Yunhou, who received the voice message, was also confused, so he sent a voice message to Xin Lihou to ask.

"I also heard from Shen Yihou, didn't he say he would welcome His Highness?" Xin Lihou was also surprised, and then asked Shen Yihou.

In this way, the three asked around and suddenly fell into an awkward situation. It turned out that none of them knew the specific whereabouts of Li Qi.

"Let's go, His Highness Li Qi has arrived at the branch, let's go first."

Then, the three of them flew towards the direction where Li Qi was with the senior executives.

Soon, this team, which was the weakest and recognized as the master of the realm by the law, arrived at the location where Li Qi was at this time.

After seeing Li Qi, the three people, Chen Yihou, Mi Yunhou and Xin Lihou, smiled and said in unison: "Welcome to the Qianwu branch."

The senior officials of the Qianwu branch bowed their heads slightly and said: "Greetings to the special envoy."

"You are too polite, Chen Yihou, Mi Yunhou and Xin Lihou, let's go to the conference room."

Li Qi looked at the three immortal marquises in the lead. He had read the information of the three people. The elephant Chen Yihou, the dwarf Mi Yunhou and the winged Xin Lihou, these three immortal marquises are all members of the major branches of the human race.

"Okay."

Chen Yihou and the other two responded, and then on the way to the conference room, they began to communicate through voice transmission.

"You just came and asked us to go to the conference room. What does His Highness Li Qi plan to do?"

"I don't know, I hope he doesn't want to thoroughly investigate the Qianwu branch."

"Well, let's take it one step at a time. His Highness Li Qi doesn't play by the rules at all."

During the conversation, the group came to the front of the conference room, but only the three giants of the Qianwu branch, Li Qi and Mu Li, who was responsible for protection, went in.

In the spacious conference room, the four people sat down separately, and Mu Li stood behind Li Qi.

Li Qi spoke first: "I have read the information of the three of you before I came to the Qianwu branch."

Chen Yihou, Mi Yunhou and Xin Lihou heard this and felt nervous, fearing that Li Qi would say that he would thoroughly investigate the Qianwu branch.

"You have done a good job in the Qianwu branch, much better than your predecessors." Li Qi continued: "So I have nothing to say, but..."

At first, Chen Yihou and the other two were happy, but when they heard Li Qi change the subject, their hearts were lifted.
