“Why don't you stay at home longer? You've only been back for such a short time. First you left, then your sister joined that Virtual Universe Corporation and hasn't been back for over a hundred years. Now, you finally come back, only to leave so soon.”
Wang Su said to Qin Hao while tidying things, her tone tinged with helplessness and some complaint. Although there were many Qin Family members on Earth and her youngest son kept her company, she and her husband had always been deeply concerned about their eldest son and daughter.
After Qin Hao left that year, they were unaccustomed to it for a long time, and it was only because of the Virtual Universe that things eased considerably.
“Don’t worry, you and Dad are both Domain Lords now, with lifespans of hundreds of thousands of years. You don’t have to worry about not seeing each other. Maybe I’ll be back again soon,” Qin Hao said. He had no solution for his parents’ complaints.
After all, for him, improving his strength was still very important. Although Earth was very safe now and hadn't been exposed as it was in the original work, there was still an unknown element, and only by completely resolving it could he truly relax.
Moreover, for Qin Hao, family ties were important, but so was improving his strength.
“Dad, Mom, I’ll come back often. Xiaoming, take good care of Mom and Dad, and keep the clan in line.” After bidding farewell to his family, Qin Hao looked back once, then instantly teleported, disappearing from his spot and appearing in Earth’s outer space.
“Tianyu King, set off for the Garbage Starfield.”
Going to the Garbage Starfield was a decision Qin Hao had considered for some time. On one hand, the Zerg Queen Mother he had captured needed a large amount of resources to re-breed her subordinates. On the other hand, his artifact refining also required some resource support.
The Garbage Starfield was a good treasure-hunting ground. Luo Feng had obtained many opportunities there, and Qin Hao also planned to try it out and collect some materials.
Entering the Garbage Starfield was very smooth. In ten years, Qin Hao had gained a lot in the Garbage Starfield. The countless wreckage and corpses stored there became the best nourishment for the Zerg Queen Mother. Qin Hao collected a large amount of wreckage for the Zerg Queen Mother’s growth, including even many Eternal Level wrecks.
At the same time, Qin Hao also selected a large portion of various warships, puppets, weapons, and planetary wrecks. Although precious and rare metals were scarce, most of them could still be used.
Qin Hao even managed to complete a set of soldier armor and general armor. Although they didn't have much use for him now, from the perspective of artifact refining, they gave Qin Hao many ideas. After all, they were equipment left from Zuo Shanke’s legacy, which held great reference significance for Qin Hao.
Compared to Luo Feng, Qin Hao faced much fewer restrictions in the Garbage Starfield. After all, he was a top genius of the human race, with powerful strength and immense potential, plus he had Primordial Chaos City Lord as his teacher, who was the spokesperson for the entire Virtual Universe Corporation. Within the rules, providing some convenience was naturally not a big deal.
Leaving the Garbage Starfield, Tianyu King controlled the spaceship, reaching its maximum speed quickly, entering the Dark Universe, and rapidly advancing towards Ganwu Star.
Relying solely on the spaceship, even the fastest spaceship of the Virtual Universe Corporation, would take almost a year. From Ganwu Star in the Ganwu Universe Country, Qin Hao and Tianyu King directly arrived at the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters via the teleportation of an Undying’s God Kingdom under the Virtual Universe Corporation.
After staying at the headquarters for a period, they directly took the company's spaceship and entered the Primal Universe.
This time entering the Primal Universe was very different from the last time. Last time, Qin Hao was just a student and could only reside there for 33 years, without the right to long-term residency.
However, this time, it was not a problem for Qin Hao to reside here indefinitely. Furthermore, having passed the 20th level of the Cosmic Tongtian Bridge, Qin Hao already had the full right to reside permanently in Primordial Chaos City and had his own exclusive building.
After all, passing the 18th level granted the full right to permanent residency and establishing a sect. Upon entering Primordial Chaos City, Qin Hao did not go directly to his residence, but instead went straight to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Entering the City Lord’s Mansion, Qin Hao stepped directly into the inner mansion. This time, the Undying guards of the inner mansion did not stop him. As Primordial Chaos City Lord’s disciple, especially having passed the Primal Tongtian Bridge, Qin Hao’s status in the Virtual Universe Corporation had greatly improved, and he no longer needed to announce his entry into the inner mansion of the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Teacher”
Outside the Primordial Chaos Ruins in the inner mansion, Qin Hao respectfully called out.
“Come in.”
Primordial Chaos City Lord’s voice entered his ears, and Qin Hao stepped in. The Primordial Chaos City Lord in Primordial Chaos City was a battle avatar, not the same one he had seen on Thunder Island, so he needed to be careful.
“Disciple greets Teacher!” Qin Hao respectfully bowed to Primordial Chaos City Lord.
“Not bad, you’ve actually reached the perfect gene level, and your strength is comparable to an invincible Champion-level Immortal, plus that treasure on you. Below a Venerable, no one is your opponent,” Primordial Chaos City Lord looked at Qin Hao and slowly said, a hint of a smile in his majestic tone.
If Guiyi Venerable had seen this, he would have been greatly astonished. Serving Primordial Chaos City Lord for countless years, he had almost never seen any change in Primordial Chaos City Lord’s expression, nor had he seen him so satisfied with anyone. Even Kedi back then hadn’t received such satisfaction.
“Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Teacher. This Star Chart was refined by disciple on Earth.” Saying this, the Star Chart on Qin Hao’s body reverted from its robe mode to its original form, a giant array appearing within the Primordial Chaos Ruins.
The stars on the array continuously rotated, and streams of star power emanated from the array, enveloping the surroundings.
“I never expected another being capable of refining treasures to appear among our human race. It’s a very good treasure, actually capable of being used as armor. However, it should be an incomplete domain treasure, right?” Primordial Chaos City Lord looked at the Star Chart before him, extremely pleased with Qin Hao.
However, despite his satisfaction, he was still very curious about Qin Hao’s opportunities. After all, in just a few hundred years, he had grown to such a degree, having a very high comprehension of all Ten Great Laws. The most difficult Time Law and Space Law had even begun to enter their final fusion, and the path to becoming a Venerable was already not far.
Such speed and opportunities, even his own teacher, Origin Ancestor, back then, couldn't compare. Origin Ancestor was very powerful and talented, but it still took him a considerable amount of time to grow from weak to strong.
His disciple seemed to have no calm. Now, even his gene level had reached the perfect gene level, and his artifact refining had even reached the point where he could refine treasures.
However, whether from information obtained from the Virtual Universe or from understanding Qin Hao’s deeds in reality, Qin Hao had always grown step by step.
