Chapter 576: Seeking Shelter
“It seems that they’re not stupid.”
Fang Yun was eavesdropping on the conversation between Nebula and Tom. He is satisfied with their self-consciousness. After that, he stopped paying attention to them.
Now his goal is to continuously devour all kinds of things, acquire bio-energy and evolve.
When he was rampaging across the nine heavens domain before, he wasn’t so urgent. After all, he was already quite powerful and he had a rough idea about the top combat power of this domain.
But now it’s different.
There is a brand new civilization outside. Furthermore, the power of this civilization is far beyond the nine heavens domain. Even with his current power, he is unlikely to be the opponent of that cultivation civilization. In fact, if they get serious, they can probably deploy enough power to deal with him.
So at this time, he has to take the opportunity to strengthen himself and evolve further before they can realize his threat.
Unfortunately, with his current speed of bio-energy acquisition, it’s taking longer and longer to evolve. Moreover, he is already extremely famous all over the nine heavens, reputation points will become harder and harder to get.
“Damn it!”
Fang Yun devoured a giant planet with a single bite. He felt a little irritable. He is still halfway short of the bio-energy requirement.
This half is a very large number, he needs thirty trillion points. That means that he has to devour 300,000 ordinary planets. This is already the number of planets in an area of dozens of light-years!
As he continued to madly devour everything in front of him, he left behind an extremely large empty area. This terrifying devouring speed and volume shocked the soldiers stationed in the space base. They were all scared that this terrifying behemoth would suddenly turn around and devour them.
“I wonder if I’m capable of devouring stars now.”
Fang Yun’s gaze fixed on a star not far ahead. The star is not very big, about 700,000 kilometers wide. It’s a bit smaller than the sun of the blue planet, but it exuded amazing light, heat, and energy.
This is a relatively young star. The bio-energy that can be obtained from devouring it is also amazing! Over 70 billion bio-energy points!
Fang Yun wanted to try devouring it. If he succeeds, that means that he can finally devour stars. His growth speed will increase by over a hundredfold!
Upon thinking of this, Fang Yun no longer hesitated. He resolutely approached the star. The terrifying temperature of this star had no effect on Fang Yun, he started to slowly devour it.
He still doesn’t dare to swallow a star in one bite. What if it explodes in his stomach?!
Of course, he can do so, he is over 500,000 kilometers wide after all. It’s just that he shrunk his size.
As Fang Yun sucked its energy, the star got smaller and smaller. Although he was slowly swallowing it, the star still got smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye. About a day later, the star completely disappeared. It was sucked straight into his stomach.
“Well… yes, now I can devour smaller stars.”
This star belongs to a relatively small level. There are countless bigger stars. Like the Arcturus that Fang Yun learned about in his past life, it’s more than 20 times bigger than the sun.
Fang Yun has seen a lot of stars as big as Arcturus during his journey. In fact, he has seen some that are hundreds to thousands of times bigger than the sun. The universe is too big, nothing is impossible.
While Fang Yun was eating the surrounding planets, Nebula and Tom held a small meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss their next plans.
Everyone agreed that the cooperation between them and the great serpent wouldn’t last long. When the great serpent gets familiar enough with the cultivation civilization, he’s likely to leave them. They don’t have anything worth its attention after all.
This is the outcome that Nebula and the other 3 don’t want to see.
“Nebula, what we need to do now is to discuss our cooperation terms with lord Ouroboros and to seek his shelter.”
This is what Tom and the other two said to Nebula. Now, among the four of them, It’s Nebula that has the closest relationship with the great serpent, hence the communication problem will be handed to him.
Nebula also feels the heavy burden on his shoulders, but he has no choice. No one can replace his position now.
“I wonder if lord Ouroboros will agree to shelter us in the future?”
Nebula smiled bitterly, then walked out of the gate of the base. Afterward, he flew directly towards Fang Yun’s location.
He watched with a look of shock as Ouroboros devoured a star. His subordinates have already reported to him about this matter before, and as expected Ouroboros is indeed devouring a star at this moment.
That’s a star!
Although it’s fairly stable, once it explodes, it will result in a catastrophic scene! Although the base has protection against the radiation produced by the supernovae, it will still suffer some damage if it’s close.
Of course, it will be directly vaporized if it’s within the supernovae range.
The sight of the great serpent devouring stars is truly something to behold. This scene is so rare that it might not have happened in the history of the nine heavens.
He didn’t dare to bother Ouroboros at this critical moment.
He is afraid that the devouring process will go wrong, creating a supernova that will sweep this area. He will be truly unlucky if the explosion range spreads to him. At that time, even if he isn’t dead, he will be seriously injured if not crippled.
Time passed bit by bit, and after waiting for a long time, the great serpent finally devoured the last bits of the star.
“Burb!”
After devouring that star, Fang Yun burped in satisfaction. He turned around and looked at Nebula.
“Let’s talk about it, what are you coming to ask me for?” He asked knowingly.
Seeing that they started talking about business, a serious expression appeared on Nebula’s face.
“Lord Ouroboros, I came here on behalf of the nine heavens’ domain. We ask for your blessing and guardianship.”
After saying this, he gently placed his right hand on his heart and bowed, expressing his humble attitude towards a superior creature.
At this time, Nebula completely lowered his posture. He no longer holds himself as an equal to Fang Yun, but rather as a subordinate or even follower.
“Bless you?” Fang Yun had known Nebula’s intention long ago, but he still couldn’t help but laugh,
“I don’t need followers, so forget about it.”
Hearing Fang Yun’s words, even though Nebula was already prepared, his complexion couldn’t help but change. He hurriedly said.
“Master Ouroboros, we sincerely ask for your blessing.”
“Moreover, we won’t ask you to protect us for nothing.”
Nebula said the last sentence through gritted teeth.
“Oh?” Fang Yun was amused, “Listening to you, it’s almost as if you’re going to hire me.”
“Hehe, I’m sorry, but you don’t have the capital to hire me.”
Nebula smiled bitterly. He also doesn’t want to submit to another creature, but do they have a choice? Even if they pay an incredible price, they still have to do so. Otherwise, their civilization and even the nine heavens will be destroyed.
“We will provide you with tremendous energy. About 5000 stars like the one you just devoured. During our battle against the cultivation domain, for each year you protect us, we will give you even more energy.”
“Finally, from then on. Everyone in this domain, all civilizations, and all intelligent creatures will obey your orders.”
Nebula did not bargain with Fang Yun but directly stated the price they are willing to pay.
During the meeting with Tom and the others, they all reminded Nebula to throw out his bargaining chips little by little, but facing Ouroboros, Nebula gave up on bargaining. Because they don’t have the qualifications to bargain.
Hearing Nebula’s words, Fang Yun’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten. The star he just devoured is worth over a hundred billion bio-energy points.
Five thousand comparable stars are about 500 trillion bio-energy points!
Anyway, for the next period of time, he doesn’t need to worry much about bio-energy. Furthermore, according to Nebula’s statement, all intelligent creatures in this domain will obey his orders. That will further accelerate his growth speed and provide him with a lot of bio-energy.
“Master Ouroboros, these are our bargaining chips.”
Seeing that Fang Yun hadn’t spoken for a long time, Nebula thought that their bargaining chips weren’t attractive enough to him. A trace of sadness rose in his heart. Could it be that this is the end of the nine heavens domain?
They are no match for the cultivation domain. At this rate, they will be defeated and killed.
“Nebula, you better haven’t lied to me. Otherwise, I can guarantee that your end will not be pretty.” After thinking for a moment, Fang Yun seriously said,
It was obviously a threat, but to the Nebula, it sounded like the most beautiful sound in the universe. Nebula hurriedly nodded, assuring him that they will never go back on their words.
“Master Ouroboros, don’t worry, we will definitely not violate today’s oath.”
Fang Yun faintly nodded.
“By the way, can you tell me the overall strength of this domain? Also, how many cultivators are there now on our side?”
“I’ll sort out the relevant information after going back, then send it to you.”
Nebula said very respectfully. They are no longer in a collaborative relationship.
The current Nebula is Fang Yun’s subordinate.
“Okay, go back.”
After Nebula left, Fang Yun started thinking about it. Now, the entire nine heavens domain is his property. This is something he never expected.
“I wonder what the world outside is like.”
Fang Yun couldn’t help but imagine the outside world. He greatly yearns for it, mostly because he will have a greater opportunity to increase his strength and reach an even higher level, giving him a greater chance to break the barriers of this universe and go back to his home.
After Nebula went back, he retold Tom and the others the entire conversation. Tom and the others didn’t blame Nebula for throwing all of their bargaining chips at once. His choice is understandable.
“Haah… Now we are finally tied up with lord Ouroboros.”
Although they became subordinates of someone else, Tom is very happy. After reigning over the first heaven and even the entire nine heavens for years, Tom has developed great feelings for them. He doesn’t want to see them destroyed or conquered by other civilizations.
Only after receiving the protection of a more powerful creature did he feel relieved. Now they are no longer the tallest people in the nine heavens. There are more powerful people propping up the sky for them.
“The strength of Lord Ouroboros has likely reached the cosmic level. Powerhouses of this level are rare even in the cultivation domain. Most importantly, lord Ouroboros is growing at a speed visible to the naked eyes.”
Speaking of this, Tom had a dazed expression on his face. Previously, they were all wondering how the growth speed of the great serpent hasn’t diminished at all.
After all, in their view, pollutants have a limit. That is the level 6 pollutants, comparable to star-level powerhouses.
However, it seems that Ouroboros isn’t a creature that can be trapped in the nine heavens domain. The limits of pollutants can’t be applied to it.
“Immediately gather all information we have about the cultivation domain. At the same time, announce the fact that Lord Ouroboros has become the master of the nine heavens domain.”
Tom said to his subordinates and Nebula did the same. They executed one action after the other and soon, the news spread across the nine heavens.
“This…”
In a big dormitory, Nara looked at the holographic screen in front of him with a dumbfounded expression. His eyes looked like they were about to pop out.
Suddenly, the door of the dormitory was retracted into the wall, then Doron walked in from the outside. Upon seeing Nara’s stupid expression, Nara snickered with amusement.
“Nara, what’s that silly expression? It’s almost as if the end of the world is coming.”
“Doron, the news I’m reading now has no less impact than the end of the world,” Nara said gravely.
“Huh?”
Doron raised his eyebrows, then walked towards Nara. He leaned over and started reading the article.
“What the hell are you reading, so exaggerated…”
Doron shook his head as he read. Just as he wanted to tease Nara about getting deceived, the words were stuck in his throat.
“What? There’s a broader universe outside of the nine heavens. It’s the universe of cultivators and super powerful beings? What? The nine heavens aren’t the center of the universe?”
Doron unconsciously raised his tone of voice.
“The cultivation world has noticed us and is sending countless forces to invade us?!”
Upon reaching this part, a trace of panic appeared in Doron’s heart. Judging from the tone of the notice and their grave appearance, it’s not difficult to guess that the cultivation domain is more powerful than the nine heavens domain.
Now that the cultivation domain has started to invade. Does that mean that they will become losers and even slaves in the near future? They might even get exterminated!
“For the safety of our universe, the four highest heavens unanimously asked for the shelter and protection of lord Ouroboros, the greatest and most powerful existence in the nine heavens.”
“From now on, all the nine heavens’ civilization must obey the orders of lord Ouroboros and there must be no violation!”
“Hiss!!!”
Doron gasped. These series of news are more explosive than the others.
The nine heavens have been targeted by a very powerful civilization. Moreover, the nine heavens now have a supreme master, above even the highest four heavens.
Even the speakers of the four highest heavens are the subordinates of this supreme master.
Fang Yun was eavesdropping on the conversation between Nebula and Tom. He is satisfied with their self-consciousness. After that, he stopped paying attention to them.
Now his goal is to continuously devour all kinds of things, acquire bio-energy and evolve.
