Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

"However, there are still some problems within your three major departments." Li Qi said in a deep voice: "I hope you can conduct a thorough investigation of the departments under your jurisdiction and deal with some serious lawbreakers. When the time comes, just give me a list."

Before coming to Qianwu Star, Li Qi checked the information at the Virtual Universe Company's Universal Headquarters and knew that the three former giants of the Qianwu branch were seriously corrupt.

Compared with their predecessors, the current three giants are much less corrupt. He does not have so much time to investigate and deal with various departments, so it is a good choice to hand it over to Shen Yihou and the other two.

Upon hearing this, the three Shen Yihou replied in unison: "Your Highness, don't worry, we will definitely conduct a thorough investigation and will not disappoint Your Highness."

At this moment, their hearts fell down, and they were extremely happy in their hearts, and a brighter smile appeared on their faces.

Just now, they thought Li Qi was going to conduct a thorough investigation of the three major departments, but they never expected that he would delegate power to them, allowing them to clean up their respective departments in name and deal with those troublemakers with backgrounds.

Li Qi glanced at the three people and asked, "Ten years later, I hope to see your list. Is this enough time?"

The three of Shen Yihou said in unison: "Your Highness, don't worry. We will definitely send the list to you in ten years."

"Okay, then I will wait for your list ten years later." Li Qi nodded slightly, and then stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't bother you here."

Seeing Li Qi turning around to leave, Shen Yihou quickly stood up and called out, "Your Highness, please stay."

"Does Shen Yihou have anything else to do?" Li Qi stopped and turned back to ask.

"Your Highness." Shen Yihou said, "The three of us have jointly sent out an invitation letter, inviting many powerful people from Qianwu Universe to attend the banquet to welcome you. May I ask if your Highness has time to attend?"

"When?" Li Qi asked.

"Because we don't know when your Highness will arrive at Qianwu Star, we set the banquet time for a month later." Xinlihou replied.

"Okay." Li Qi nodded slightly and said, "I will arrange for someone to build a manor in the virtual universe as a banquet venue."

"Well..." After hearing this, Shen Yihou, Mi Yunhou and Xin Lihou looked at each other and Mi Yunhou said, "Your Highness, this banquet will be held in reality and the location is set at Qianwu Star."

"Qianwu Star in reality?" Li Qi frowned slightly and said, "Can the location be changed to the virtual universe?"

In addition to coming to the branch, he also came to Qianwu Star to meet the Lord of the Lava Realm and invite him to be the teacher of the three brothers. After that, he will go to the Lasao World and has not considered staying in Qianwu Star for a long time.

"Your Highness, according to the information obtained by my intelligence department, after receiving the joint invitation letter from the three of us, many marquises and kings in the secret realm of the universe and the battlefield outside the domain have rushed to Qianwu Star."

Mi Yunhou hesitated and said, "If we notify them now to change the venue of the banquet to the virtual universe, I'm afraid it will..."

Li Qi listened and understood instantly that those strong men who had ventured into the secret realm of the universe and the battlefield outside the domain had already rushed back. At this time, notifying them to change the venue of the banquet to the virtual universe would be offending people.

For most of the strong men, face is very important. If they are fooled, they will definitely find a way to get back at it.

They probably won't express their dissatisfaction with Li Qi openly, but they can still secretly trip up the Royce family. After all, the strong men who can be invited are at least comparable to the immortal marquises.

Now, except for Li Qi, the Royce family, whose strongest core members are only at the universe level, can't afford so many powerful forces to secretly trip them up.

"Then let's still hold it on Qianwu Star." Li Qi said, and then asked: "Has the invitation been sent to King Qijian?"

"It has been sent to King Qijian, but I haven't received a reply yet." Mi Yunhou replied.

"I will invite King Qijian." Li Qi asked: "The arrangement of this banquet..."

"Your Highness, just leave it to us." Xin Lihou said confidently: "We will definitely satisfy the guests."

"These three guys have spent a lot of money to please me."

Hearing this, Li Qi looked at the three people in surprise. There are many marquises and immortals invited to this welcoming banquet. It will cost a lot to satisfy these strong men, at least hundreds of thousands of Hunyuan units.

If the banquet is held in the virtual universe, the Hunyuan required is only one percent of the reality, or even one thousandth.

"Then I'll trouble you three." Seeing the three people say so, Li Qi simply let them arrange the banquet, just as a punishment for their presumptuous decision.

After that, he took Muli out of the conference room, leaving Shen Yihou, Mi Yunhou and Xin Lihou to discuss in the conference room.

…

After leaving the conference room, Li Qi asked someone to take them to the lounge that had been prepared.

On the way to the lounge, Muli asked in a voice transmission: "Your Highness, as the special supervisory envoy of the Qianwu branch, is it appropriate for you to let Shen Yihou and others check themselves?"

"My main task now is to practice, and I don't have so much time to thoroughly investigate the three major departments."

Li Qi replied in a voice transmission: "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. My Virtual Universe Company is in charge of the economic lifeline of the 1004 Universe Country. Corruption will never be eliminated. Although Shen Yihou and others are also greedy, they are much better than their predecessors."

Muli listened and understood that what his Highness said was reasonable. The five major forces of the universe, the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, the Universe Mercenary Alliance value masters, and the Universe First Bank and the Universe Galaxy Bank are mainly bank storage businesses and some investment businesses.

Only the Virtual Universe Company controls the lifeline of the entire human economy. The economy of 1004 Universe Country is completely controlled by the 1004 branches of the Virtual Universe Company.

As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. The huge Virtual Universe Company Gansha branch has jurisdiction over tens of thousands of star fields. Among them, there are nearly 900 million core personnel. There are even nearly 300 immortal gods. There are so many It is impossible to eliminate corruption among our staff.

Moreover, Mu Li has been the leader of the guard for so many years, so he naturally knows how diligent Li Qi is in his cultivation. He has very little time for leisure and entertainment, so he can relax a little when he returns to his hometown.

"Compared with the self-examination of Qianwu Branch, I am more worried about the reception banquet in Qianwu Star." Li Qi said with some worry.

"Your Highness is saying..." Mu Li had a guess.

"Yes." Li Qi replied: "A banquet held in reality will undoubtedly give opportunities to alien spies. We must take precautions."

"Since your Highness knows, why are you still taking risks?" Mu Li asked anxiously.

"How is it possible to take risks?" Li Qi said with a smile: "I have found a way to deal with it."    ……

Virtual universe, Ganwu Continent.

In a very vast manor, there was a garden filled with birds singing and flowers fragrant. There was a pavilion in the center of the garden, where Li Qi and King Qi Maci were sitting opposite each other.

"King Qi Mace." Li Qi asked with a smile: "You should have received an invitation to the Fengfeng Banquet, right?"

"That's what happened." King Qiqi said: "What?"

"I'm here to invite you, King Qimai, to the banquet this time." Li Qidao.

"I agreed." King Qimai nodded slightly and then asked: "When you come here this time, it should be more than just inviting me to the banquet, right?"

"In addition to being invited to the banquet, I would also like to ask you, King Qi Mace, to do a favor." Li Qi said with a smile.

"What are you busy with?" King Qichai asked.

"This banquet is held in the real Qianwu Star. In addition to the powerful people who are invited, they can also bring a few close relatives. I am worried that there will be people who have been invaded and enslaved by alien spirits." Li Qi said: "So ,I think……"

…

After meeting King Qimai, Li Qi contacted the Lord of Lava Realm. After accepting his invitation, he came to his manor in Qianwu Continent.

In a luxurious room in the manor, the two of them sat across the table from each other, with a bottle of fine wine and two wine glasses placed on the middle table.

The fiery-skinned Lava Lord poured a glass of wine, placed it in front of Li Qi's table, and said, "The last time we met was at the end of the peak genius war."

Li Qi said gratefully: "If it weren't for your help, Your Majesty, I wouldn't have achieved what I have achieved today."

He was very grateful to the Lord of the Lava Realm. If he hadn't been optimistic about him and kept the secret of his body's specialness, he might not have been able to reach the heights he is today.

"This is just mutual achievement." The Lord of the Lava Realm shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "If you hadn't achieved good results in the Peak Genius Competition and entered the core level of the Virtual Universe Company, I would not have become a disciple of the Lord of the Ganwu Kingdom."

Li Qi had checked the information before and learned that the Lord of the Lava Realm worshiped the Lord of the Qianwu Kingdom, but he was a little confused as to why he was socializing with the Lord of the Qianwu Kingdom. Their statuses were worlds apart.

"You don't have to call me Your Majesty, just call me Gurrett. Your status is much higher than mine now." The Lord of Lava Realm said with some emotion: "I think you should be very curious as to why I have the opportunity to worship as Teacher." "

Li Qi nodded slightly, "I'm a little curious."

"You should know that I and Marquis Rong are brothers of life and death." The Lord of the Lava Realm said: "Back then, I and a group of brothers of life and death were adventuring in the universe. After many hardships and dangers, although we obtained great opportunities and great treasures, all the brothers of life and death were still in trouble. The only two brothers left are me and Marquis Rong."

"After obtaining that great opportunity and great treasure, Marquis Rongfu and I stopped going on adventures. Instead, we dedicated one of the extremely precious treasures to the Lord of Ganwu Kingdom."

The Lord of the Lava Realm said melancholy: "With the treasure sacrifice, Marquis Rongqiu obtained the precious secret method, which allowed him to successfully break through and become an immortal god. However, I was unable to break through due to great opportunities, even if I understood the law of the origin of fire."

"Protocore shackles?" Li Qi couldn't help but whisper after hearing this.

"Yes, the original nuclear shackles!" The Lord of the Lava Realm said solemnly: "You have also heard that I have defeated the immortal gods head-on. That is because my weapons and suits are all at the seventh-level immortal level. The great opportunity has also given me the foundation The power is comparable to the peak of ten ordinary world lords, so that he can defeat the most ordinary immortal gods head-on."

"The universe is fair. Great opportunities have given me super combat power, and also given me the atomic shackles that are more difficult to break through and become immortal."

"However, it is precisely because of the extremely precious treasure of Great Opportunity that Teacher gave me the hope of breaking through and becoming immortal."

"As long as I can complete one of the three major tests, I will be able to obtain the corresponding reward." Having said this, the Lava Realm Master smiled and said: "I completed the second test and trained a person to enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company. genius, and that genius is you.”

"I see."

Li Qi suddenly realized that he now understood why the Lava Empire had a systematic training system. It turned out to be to complete the test arranged by the leader of the Ganwu Kingdom.

"Although I have become a disciple of the teacher, it still takes a long time for me to break through and become immortal." The Lava Realm Lord sighed: "Understanding the original law of fire allows me to connect to the original law of fire in the universe. Without the world master Super high law affinity ability.”

Li Qi nodded in his heart. Understanding any lower law will connect to the law of the origin of the universe. This is a necessary prerequisite for becoming an immortal god to infuse divine power.

However, once the origin of the universe is connected, the super-high law affinity of the realm master period will be lost, and it will become a single law affinity. It will be very difficult to comprehend other laws. This is why the immortal gods comprehend the law slower than the realm master.

Therefore, if you want to become a universe master or even the master of the universe, you need to lay a solid foundation at the realm master level and improve the law perception to a level close to the universe master level, so that you can have a higher probability of becoming a top powerhouse.

The Lava Realm Lord smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have also understood the Law of the Origin of Earth recently, which makes it easier for me to comprehend the Law of Space. In a million years at most, I can break through and become an immortal god."

"A million years is still too long." Li Qi listened and thought, "The Lava Realm Lord should not have a high talent in the Law of the Origin of Space. Otherwise, if he had understood the Law of the Origin of Fire and the Law of the Origin of Earth, he should not need a million years to break the shackles of the proto-nucleus."

"But speaking of it, Luo Feng in the original book seemed to have taken tens of thousands of years to break through. It is reasonable for the Lava Realm Lord to use a million years to break the shackles of the prokaryotic nucleus. "

"Guret." Li Qi suddenly remembered that the other party said that he had obtained an extremely precious treasure, which made him curious and asked: "What treasure did you offer to the Lord of Qianwu?"

"A very strange purple token. Even now when I think about it, I can't see the strangeness of the token." The Lava Realm Lord recalled and said: "I remember that the teacher was very happy at that time, and seemed to say something about the Beast God Order."

"The Beast God Inheritance Order!" Li Qi was slightly surprised.

The Beast God Inheritance Order is a treasure comparable to the treasure. Those who hold this treasure can receive the Beast God inheritance corresponding to the token in the Zushen Sect, the largest force in the universe.

"Where did you get that token?" Li Qi asked curiously.

"I got it from the immortal treasure of a fallen king in a dangerous universe secret realm called Huoli." The Lava Realm Lord said, "By the way, there is also a huge monster statue in that secret realm. Hmm... That monster statue is very strange."

"Statue? Could it be a statue of the beast god?" Li Qi guessed secretly, "Huoli Secret Realm, I must go and see it if I have a chance."

After making up his mind, Li Qi said, "Gulet, I came to you this time because..."
