Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

After judging the other clan members, Li Qi turned his attention to the last person, Nineteen.

Looking at his younger brother who was much haggard and no longer as energetic as he once was, Li Qi was silent for a moment and then said through the message: "Nineteen."

"Brother Eleven." Arthur Nineteen looked at Li Qi with a complicated expression.

"Why?" Li Qi asked in a message: "You are the core executive of my Royce family. If you need money, you can directly apply to Sixth Dad. But you did not do that. Instead, you participated in the slave trading business."

"Do you really need the bloodline potion that much?" Li asked in a deep voice, "Isn't the universe-level bloodline potion I gave you enough?"

"Brother Eleven, if it weren't for the information you gave me, I wouldn't have known they were engaging in slave trade." Nineteen said in a decadent voice: "Hundreds of billions of people are being sold as slaves, and no matter what, I'm one of them." A responsibility, no matter how you punish me, Brother Eleven, I will accept the punishment."

Li Qi asked: "Now it's not about punishment, but why you need the bloodline potion so much!"

Nineteen replied: "The reason why I need the bloodline potion is because I want to become stronger!"

"So, you will participate in the slave trade?" Li Qi asked.

"I told you! I didn't know they were doing the slave trade business." Nineteen said excitedly, "I just want to become stronger, and I have been practicing and taking risks. I have no time to care about what they are doing!"

Looking at Nineteen, who suddenly looked a little excited, Li Qi understood that he was a little angry, angry because of his distrust.

Li Qi's tone softened and he asked via voice transmission: "Why do you want to become stronger?"

Nineteen stared at Brother Eleven, whom he admired very much, and said: "Because I want to be like you, to participate in the peak genius competition, and then become the pillar of the family."

Looking at Nineteen's eyes, Li Qi saw some admiration in them, which reminded him of when he was participating in the Peak Genius Battle. When he saw Nineteen in the virtual universe, there was also admiration in his eyes.

"Nineteen." Li Qi sighed softly: "If you need a more advanced blood potion, you can tell me that I can easily buy it with my status."

"No!" Nineteen said excitedly: "I don't want it! I don't want to become a vampire like Brother Thirteen! Obviously Brother Eleven needs resources like the Starry Sky Beast, but he is good at taking it for himself!"

Li Qi listened with a pleased smile on his face and was very moved in his heart.

Back then, with his worth and status, he didn't even care about the gain or loss of the Blazing Behemoth. Moreover, when he learned that Thirteen had seized the body of the Blazing Behemoth without authorization, he was only worried and angry, fearing that Thirteen would fail to seize the body.

"Nineteen, you are thinking about Brother Eleven, and Brother Eleven is very happy." Li Qi's tone became a little more serious, "But the tone of your words makes Brother Eleven angry, and Thirteen is still your brother no matter what."

Nineteen lowered his head slightly, "Sorry, Brother Eleven."

"Nineteen, it is easy to participate in the Peak Genius Battle, as long as you are a star, but it is not easy to achieve good results." Li Qi said truthfully: "With your talent, if you want to achieve good results in the Peak Genius Battle, Good results are difficult.”

"I know." Nineteen lowered his head, clasped his hands, and said as if he was resigned to his fate: "That's why I want a better blood potion to improve my talent."

Li Qi shouted: "Nineteen."

"Well..." After hearing this, Nineteen raised his head and looked at Li Qi.

Li Qidao: "Because of your relationship, hundreds of billions of people have been sold as slaves. It is impossible for me not to punish you."

"I accept the punishment." Nineteen said sincerely.

"Okay." Li Qi nodded via voice transmission, and then began to read out the crime: "Arthur, because of his participation..."

The tribesmen watching the live broadcast, whether on site or in the virtual universe, all turned their attention to Li Qi, who was reading out the crime.

"What do you think the eleventh clan ancestor and the nineteenth clan ancestor were talking about just now?"

"I don't know. I'm probably discussing the penalty scale."

"How dare you say that!"

"There is nothing to be afraid of. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that when the eleven clan ancestors judge their descendants, the punishments are obviously much heavier than those of the clan ancestors."

"Indeed, I guess the ancestors of the nineteen clans will still be imprisoned in the Ancient Jade Star for a hundred or ten thousand years."

A group of descendants of the family were talking through the news. They respected Li Qi very much, but they were a little dissatisfied with Li Qi's punishment. They just couldn't express it directly due to their status.

From this punishment, they can also conclude that in the hearts of the eleven clan ancestors, their descendants are far inferior to the clan ancestors who have been with them day and night.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Li Qi judged: "I sentence you to a hundred years in prison on the Black Prison Star!"

"What! Black Prison Star Prison for a Hundred Years!"

"It's unbelievable that the ancestors of the eleven clans would punish him like this."

"The ancestors of the eleven clans are actually willing to let the ancestors of the nineteen clans go to the Black Prison Star."

The juniors who originally thought they would be given a light sentence were all shocked when they heard the verdict given by Li Qi.

The younger generation still know what the Black Prison Star is. It is a place of death with a death rate as high as 99%, which is very close to 100%!

After the trial ends, the virtual universe synchronization transmission is closed.

Li Qi glanced at the many juniors around him and said coldly: "In addition to Gu Yuxing's clan members present at this trial, there are also hundreds of thousands of clan members watching the live broadcast."

"Through this trial, I want to tell you that the reason why our Royce family is so powerful is because of the birth of me, a genius who rose from the peak genius battle. I will have the opportunity to become a strong man in my human race in the future."

His cold voice reached the ears of the tribesmen present and watching the live broadcast.

"Geniuses and strong men are the key to the rise and power of a family. Those who have the talent and ability to cultivate can take risks and hone their skills. The family can provide resources. If you don't have the talent to cultivate, go into business and work hard. As long as it is a formal business, we will support it."

"If it doesn't work out, you can go to the virtual universe game to fight. The family can support you for a lifetime. Relying on the family's power to bully the weak is nothing!"

"From today on, the family can raise idle people, but it will never raise bad people! All those who commit crimes like today will be punished by the family rules, without exception!!"

After hearing Li Qi's words, everyone present and watching the live broadcast in the virtual universe fell silent.

They all know that from today on, the family's rules will be very strict, and the leisurely and relaxed days of the past will be gone forever.

After warning many members of the family, Li Qi turned to Huo Lu and said, "Daddy, I'll ask you to sort out the rest of the things here."

Hearing this, Holu asked, "Are you leaving again?"

"Yes." Li Qi nodded slightly, "I still have something to do and can't stay long."

As a key assassination target of the alien race, he cannot stay in Ancient Jade Star for a long time without the protection of a strong person. Leaving earlier would be a good thing for him and Ancient Jade Star.

"Understood." Holu nodded slightly and added: "There may be a high-level family meeting in the virtual universe in the next two days. If you are free, come and attend."

"Family meeting..." Li Qi thought briefly and then asked: "Dad, do you want to take power?"

"I have this idea." Huo Lu sighed: "Judging from today's events, I am not a qualified manager. It was fine when the family was weak in the past, but now it is beyond its capabilities."

Li Qi was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, I will come to participate if I have nothing to do." "Go." Holu smiled and said, "Let's go and explore the vast universe."

"Dad, take care."

Li Qi nodded, then flew into the sky with Miao Li and other escorts, then entered the spaceship released from the world ring and flew to the starry sky and universe.

After watching Li Qi leave, Huo Lu still kept looking at the sky, sighing in his heart: "Lao Liu is right, the family cannot be an obstacle to Eleven."

On the other side, Nineteen looked excited because he had just received a message from Li Qi.

The content of the message is that as long as he can escape from the Black Prison Planet alive, Li Qi will help him improve his talent and give him the opportunity to go to the stage of the Peak Genius Battle Finals to compete with the top geniuses in the universe. Down.

…

In the Dark Chi spaceship.

Li Qi stood in the rest area, with a virtual simulation of Gu Yuxing in front of him.

Mu Li stood respectfully aside, and after Li Qi closed the virtual simulation, he asked: "Your Highness, where are you going next?"

"Go back to the original secret realm." Li Qi said, "I'm going to trouble you next."

Mu Li smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are welcome. With the funds given by His Highness before, the transfer of this energy from the Kingdom of God is nothing."

With the 10,000 Hunyuan units given by Li Qi, one teleportation from the Kingdom of God could only consume eight or nine Hunyuan units, so he naturally had the confidence to say so.

Several spaceships sailed all the way and finally came to a silent starry sky.

Muli first brought the rest of the escort into the world ring, and then took the Dark Chi spaceship to teleport to the Kingdom of God.

In the endless light, Mu Li took the Dark Chi and teleported to the Kingdom of God, and then teleported from the Kingdom of God to the mineral planet that was only more than a day away from the original secret realm.

…

Inside the Anchi spacecraft sailing to the original secret realm.

Li Qi's body sat cross-legged in the quiet room, but most of his consciousness entered the virtual universe.

Ganwu Continent, Lava Island, in the conference room of a small manor.

In the vast conference room, there were more than thirty people sitting at a long square table, with one person sitting at each end of the long table.

Li Qi sat at one end of the long table, looking at his grandfather Royce on the other end, as well as the elders and brothers on both sides of the long table, and sighed. There were originally more than forty people, but now only those in their early thirties were left.

Grandfather Royce said: "This meeting was called because the boss said that he was not capable enough and no longer wanted to be the family manager."

"The family is developing better and better, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. My abilities and personality are no longer suitable for managing a family of today's size." Holu said. ,

Everyone listened to Huo Lu's words, and some people agreed in their hearts. It was indeed difficult for the eldest brother (eldest father) to manage the current family well, so they did not object to the eldest brother (eldest father) giving up the throne.

"I propose that the family be managed by Lao Liu in the future." Huo Lu suggested: "The effect of Lao Liu taking charge of the family's financial power is obvious to everyone, and Lao Liu's character manages the family."

"Eleven, what do you think?" Royce, who was sitting on the other side of the long table, asked.

Li Qidao: "I agree, Sixth Dad is suitable and capable of managing the family."

"Does anyone else have any opinions?" Royce continued to ask.

"No."

"Agree."

"agree."

All the clan members nodded, and no one expressed any objection. Among them, only this person was suitable and capable of managing the family well.

It has to be said that among the first three generations of family members, only Gary Buell (sixth father) has outstanding management talent, and the others are far behind.

"Since everyone agrees, it's settled." Royce nodded and said: "Lao Liu, from today on, you are the new manager of the family. If you have anything to say, you can say it now."

"Everyone agrees that I will serve as the family manager, which is a sign of trust in me." Garibuel said: "After experiencing the Eleventh Trial, we should all know the problems faced by the family."

Everyone listened and nodded slightly.

"The family rules are not implemented thoroughly, and at the same time, the intelligence system is backward, which prevents us from controlling all the family's resources, resulting in a large loss and waste of family resources."

Gary Buel said: "I propose that the family form a law enforcement department and an intelligence department. The former will enforce family rules and the latter will collect intelligence."

"It's feasible." Royce nodded, then looked at Li Qi and asked, "Eleven, do you have any opinions?"

Li Qi suggested: "The law enforcement department must be independent and strict. It is necessary to increase investment and rewards for the law enforcement team. It can be the department at the forefront of family treatment to prevent members of the law enforcement department from being bribed."

"That's right." Gary Buell nodded, "Only in this way can law enforcement departments be truly independent and not be bribed and contaminated."

"Agree."

Everyone nodded again. Law enforcement agencies must be established. The previous loose and temporary guards could not act as a deterrent at all.

This trial also made them understand the horror of corruption. The large amount of resources lost is enough to train many universe-level people.

"Okay, let's settle it then." Royce nodded: "Then the Minister of Law Enforcement will be Lao Qi."

Li Qi looked at his father Drikul, who nodded slightly and said, "No problem, the law enforcement department leaves it to me. Don't worry about my favoritism."

Everyone nodded slightly in agreement.

As Drikul said, others will not worry about his favoritism because he has no other descendants except Li Qi, his son, so he is the best candidate to serve in the law enforcement department.

"Since everyone has no objection to Lao Qi being the head of the law enforcement department, it's settled." Royce added: "Who wants to be in charge of the intelligence department?"

"Let me do it." At this time, someone raised his hand and said.

Royce nodded directly, "Okay," without asking for anyone's opinion.

The reason why he did this was because this person was the third most famous among his sons, Ivanko.

At the same time, Ivanko is also the only domain lord among the core members of the family.

As the new manager of the family has been appointed with the ministers of the two major departments, the meeting is coming to an end.

After the meeting ended, Li Qi received an email after leaving, an email from Virtual Universe Company.
