Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

"King of Star Death."

An immortal king who looked like an ant, wore a light red armor, and had multiple joints on his waist and abdomen, called out to Li Qi.

"Who are you?"

Li Qi recognized it at a glance. It was the Immortal King of the Ant Clan, an ordinary tribe.

Nafeng Wang Immortal introduced himself, "Jieyi tribe, King of Lizhu."

Li Qi glanced at the three star marks on the opponent's arm guard and asked, "King Li Zhu, do you have a problem with me?"

"King Star Death, I heard that you have a good relationship with King Raging Waves. Are you willing to join our Raging Sea Mutual Aid Association?"

King Lizhu expressed his intention, "The founders of our Nu Hai Mutual Aid Association include King Nu Tao.

"How could he think so? I've only met the King of Furious Waves twice, how come we have a good relationship?" Li Qi was slightly startled, "Could it be that the King of Furious Waves told the public that I have a good relationship with him?"

"If it is really what the King of Raging Waves said, what good will it do him?"

Li Qi was puzzled and replied: "I have only met the King of Raging Waves twice, but we are both human beings."

"Both humans?" King Lizhu was a little surprised and asked, "That's it?"

"If we really want to say that they have something in common, it would be that they are both members of the Virtual Universe Company." Li Qi replied.

"Oh...so that's it."

When King Li Zhu heard this, he suddenly recalled the situation when they asked King Furious Waves. At this moment, he noticed the unnaturalness in his expression.

"I thought you had a good relationship with the King of Raging Waves, but I didn't expect that you just have an ordinary relationship with the same clan. I misunderstood."

After understanding the reason, King Lizhu solemnly invited: "King Xingshu, the Nu Hai Mutual Aid Association has officially extended an invitation to you. I wonder if you are willing to join us?"

"Sorry." Li Qi shook his head slightly, "I have no intention of joining any forces in the community."

When King Li Zhu saw Li Qi's refusal, his heart sank slightly at first, but when he heard the following words, his mood immediately changed, "The King of Star Death will not join any force, which is just right for our Wrathful Sea Mutual Aid Association. At least the existing structure will not be broken. .

Although Star Death King had just entered Hongmeng and their community, he had a great impact on their community.

Although except for the 108 cosmic lords in Hongmeng's management, others had only guessed at the identity of the Star Death King, but after receiving instructions from within the group, they naturally understood that the Star Death King's identity was unusual and was probably a certain human palace. A disciple or valued descendant of the Lord.

The Star Death King with such a background has a very high status in their community, and the forces he joins can attract many casual people, and even strong men from other forces.

King Lizhu smiled apologetically and said, "Since King Xingshu has no intention of joining a force, I was the one who was rude this time. I will tell other forces in the community to prevent them from disturbing you."

Li Qi nodded, "Thank you so much, King Lizhu."

Although he didn't know why King Li Zhu, who was a member of Hongmeng's "Three Stars", respected him so much, he didn't think it was a bad thing. At least it could reduce some unnecessary troubles.

Li Qi didn't care at all about the so-called forces in the community. He didn't think he would always live in the outer city of Hongmeng City.

With his opportunities and strength, once he becomes an immortal god in the future, he will be at least as powerful as a junior cosmic lord and be qualified to live in the inner city of Hongmeng City!

…

Soon after.

In the living room of a residence in the community.

Several alien kings and immortals are sitting in the living room. The star marks on their arm guards are all 'three stars', which means that they are all extremely powerful kings.

"The King of Stars has rejected our invitation."

"Huh? Not to mention that the King of Raging Waves has a good relationship with King of Star Death, how could he not be invited to join the party?"

"Hmph! King Raging Waves lied to us. He has no friendship with King Star Death at all. They are just ordinary clan members."

"That guy, King of Raging Waves, takes a huge amount of dividends from us every epoch and causes us a lot of trouble."

"Say less. Who gave him a teacher who exists as a 'six-star', and a human palace master was born in the clan."

"He can also bully the weak kings. Those kings who don't give him face don't think he dares to bully them?"

"The situation is not too bad. Since the Star Death King will not join any force, our Raging Sea Mutual Aid Association will not fall so easily."

"Yes, even if several major forces unite, so what?"

Several alien immortals were chatting. They were all leaders of the Nu Hai Mutual Aid Association. They received a lot of dividends from the Mutual Aid Association every era, which made them unable to sit back and watch the Nu Hai Mutual Aid Association collapse.

There is a saying that the camp is made of iron and the soldiers are made of flowing water.

But in Hongmeng City, it was the opposite. The forces in the community were established and destroyed one by one, but very few of the powerful kings among them fell forever.

Just because the Immortal King who can join the Hongmeng is eligible to be resurrected, even if the group does not have the Lord of the Universe to resurrect, they can still ask the Lord of the Universe to help with the resurrection through the Hongmeng. The Immortal King who has truly fallen and cannot be resurrected, in They are in the minority among Hongmeng.

…

In the same community, there is a red house that looks like a flame.

"King of Star Death!"

"King of Star Death!"

The angry wave king's eyes widened, and the anger in his eyes was fully visible, "You are really capable, you don't give me any face!"

The news that Star Death King refused the invitation of the Raging Sea Mutual Aid Association has reached his ears, and he pointed out mercilessly that he has no friendship with him, the Raging Wave King.

Originally, according to his expectations, the Star Death King would show some friendship and at least give him some face, but the result was unexpected.

And this result made him lose face!

"King Xingyun! Don't let me seize the opportunity, or I will make you look good!"

King Nutao's eyes seemed to be spitting out flames, "The King Armor Assessment is about to begin, I must be qualified to use the King Armor!"

...

Hongmeng City, residential area.

In a living room of less than 1,000 square meters.

Li Qi was receiving two alien kings, and he directly rejected their requests, "Unfortunately, I don't have the idea of ​​creating a force."

King Zuxiang, who was a member of a weak tribe, said puzzledly: "King Xingyun, you said you don't plan to join any force, don't you want to create a force?"

"Not joining a force does not necessarily mean creating a force, not to mention that the community force is meaningless to me."

Li Qi shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "Don't forget, I am a human!"

I am a human!

The short words made the two kings silent, because they all understood the weight of that word.

Humans are the peak tribe, the leader of Hongmeng!

In terms of resources and treasures, which tribe in Hongmeng can compare with humans? Even the weakest of the five giants of humanity is estimated to have richer resources and treasures than most powerful tribes.

After a moment of silence, the two kings looked at each other, and finally the leader, King Xiangzhu, spoke: "King Xingyun, you may not know that establishing a power is not only for resources and connections, but more importantly, it can accumulate wealth."    "In addition to the various shops in Hongmeng City, many kings will trade privately. Generally speaking, private transactions are risky, but the supervision of the virtual universe system can reduce the risk to a negligible level."

"The major forces in our community are targeting each other in order to compete for resources for private transactions, because as long as members of the forces conduct private transactions, they often pay a fee for the transaction amount."

"This fee is generally very low, ranging from one ten-thousandth to one thousandth."

King Xiangzhu continued: "But even so, it is an extremely huge fortune, because the transaction amount of the strong men in our Hongmeng City is often in the unit of 'billion'."

Li Qi was slightly moved when he heard this.

The transaction price of 100 billion Hunyuan units, even if only one ten-thousandth is taken, is 10 million Hunyuan units, comparable to the wealth of ordinary Fenghou Immortal.

If the fee is high, the amount obtained will also increase. One thousandth is 100 million Hunyuan units.

King Xianzhu said again: "For those of us who have not joined any forces, once we conduct private transactions with members of a certain force, we often pay very high fees."

"Is the purchase price given by the shops in Hongmeng City very low?" Li Qi asked.

"Yes, the purchase price given by the shops is very low. If we want to make more money, we can only conduct private transactions." The Fengwang Immortal nodded.

Hearing this answer, Li Qi understood.

Because the shops in Hongmeng City have to pay various taxes, they have to buy at low prices and sell at high prices to maintain profitability. Purchasing materials and treasures at high prices will only result in losses.

"I think you should have tried to create a force, but were forced to stop in the subsequent suppression?" Li Qi asked.

"Tried, but failed..." King Xianzhu nodded helplessly.

"You failed, so why do you think I can succeed?" Li Qi asked in confusion.

"Because you are a human, and your identity and background are not ordinary." Xiang Zhu Wang said in a deep voice: "I have never seen someone who can make everyone stand up and greet him when he comes to a party for the first time."

"I can understand that he is a human, but how can my identity and background be extraordinary?"

Li Qi was puzzled, "My identity was forged by my teacher, and the Hongmeng will keep the specific information of its members confidential. How did they know that my identity and background are not ordinary?"

Xiang Zhu Wang's eyes were full of envy, "I have heard several immortal kings talk about it. They all think that you have a powerful teacher, at least a seven-star overlord !"

"My teacher is at least a seven-star overlord?"

Li Qi couldn't help thinking, "Although I don't know why they made such a guess, they really guessed it right."

"Unfortunately, I have no interest in building a power. Not only do I have no time to manage it, but I won't stay in the outer city of Hongmeng City for too long."

"What's more, the identity of King Xingyun is a fake identity..."

All these reasons combined made Li Qi refuse, "Unfortunately, I don't have the idea of ​​creating a power."

The two immortal kings looked at each other, and saw that there was disappointment and frustration in each other's eyes that was difficult to conceal.

"I understand."

The two immortal kings stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait."

Li Qi stopped the two who were about to leave, "Although I don't have the idea of ​​building a power, we can still conduct private transactions. It happens that I have a lot of materials and treasures to sell, including ninth-level weapons and armor."

"Material treasures?"

"Ninth-level weapons and armor?"

The two immortal kings were delighted when they heard this.

"King Xingyun, can you list the materials and treasures you have?" King Zuxiang asked.

"Yes." Li Qi sent the message to the two people with a thought.

After receiving the list, the two immortal kings were very excited after briefly checking the materials and treasures on it. "Tens of thousands of tons of Chihong Jingjin, Xiaoyugangjin..."

"Ninth-level claw weapons, axe weapons..."

As members of weak or ordinary tribes, their desire for resources is deep in their bones.

It is no exaggeration to say that the list of materials and treasures placed in front of them now exceeds their transactions in the past era.

King Xiangzhu asked: "King Xingshu, the materials and treasures on this list cannot be eaten with the cash of the two of us alone. Can you give us some time?"

"No problem." Li Qi nodded slightly, "You can go back and discuss it, and we will contact you after the discussion is completed."

"Thank you."

King Xiangzhu thanked him, and then left with King Xiang.

After seeing the two people leaving, Li Qi secretly said: "In the Hongmeng, ethnic forces are the backers. Without strong ethnic forces, it would be too easy to be exploited."

He could conclude that behind the two kings of Xianzhu were not only the San people, but also many foreign kings who had joined other forces.

Most of these foreign kings have one thing in common, that is, they come from a weak ethnic group or a weak ordinary ethnic group, and they are all from the bottom ethnic group of Hongmeng.

…

Hongwu Secret Realm, No. 123 Barracks Base.

When part of his consciousness returned from Hongmeng City, Li Qi had returned to the barracks base villa.

"The list of trophies has been handed over to them. I hope they can buy all the trophies on me."

From the adventure in the sacrificial land alone, Li Qi obtained 730 billion Hunyuan units of material treasures. Plus he obtained some materials himself, it is estimated that he will eventually obtain 800 billion Hunyuan units of wealth.

Li Qi frowned slightly, "It's still not enough..."

The Thousand Vine Immortal Star-Eating Grass is very powerful. Once successfully cultivated, it will have the peak strength of the King. Each main vine is a million kilometers long. Its toughness and sharpness reach the limit of the King. Its vitality is much stronger than that of the human King. Even if one is the strongest Even the Vulcan Source Crystal can't destroy it.

The difficulty of breaking through such a powerful Sento Immortal Star-Eating Grass is almost the same as that of the Zerg Mother Queen's breakthrough into immortality. The best solution is only 30% to become an immortal god, which requires nearly 120 billion points!

"The points alone require 120 billion points."

Li Qi secretly said: "So to cultivate Qianteng Immortal Star-Eating Grass, at least 1 trillion Hunyuan units are needed. Even if treasures are added to increase the success rate, the success rate is estimated to not be 50%..."

Although he was thinking this, he looked at the star-eating grass details interface on the light screen in front of him and did not buy it.

"If you want to cultivate Sendo Immortal Herbivore, you probably have to explore the preparation area inside the sacrificial site and obtain more treasures."

Li Qi closed the light curtain, and his consciousness entered the special space of the virtual universe to create the secret method, while his real body continued to practice the "Yuanzhong Ruyi Body".

…

Two days later.

Li Qi's consciousness separated from the virtual universe. He did not wait for detailed information about Zhu Wang and the two men. Instead, he received an email about the reward... (End of Chapter)
