Chapter 436

“Master, we are approaching Hills Star.”

“Slow down and exit the parallel universe.”

The Perpetual Crystal Spaceship slowed down, and as soon as it decelerated slightly, it dropped below the speed of light and immediately left the parallel universe.

A huge planet appeared, and Lin Zhen’s spaceship gradually reached a state of ten times the speed of sound, and was still slowly descending.

“Arriving at Hills Star, a new challenge is coming.”

Lin Zhen stood in front of the control panel, contemplating how to proceed in the future.

Hiss~~~!!

An electric wave flickered, and someone was requesting contact on the control panel.

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. He had come to Hills Star before only to buy some things and didn’t know anyone here. Even if it were Han Sha and others looking for him, they should have contacted him through the Dimensional Universe rather than communicating through the spaceship, right?

He connected with the other party’s electric wave, and a blond young man appeared on the screen.

This young man was a Constant Star Stage, wearing a silver knight outfit, with slender eyes slightly squinting, carefully observing Lin Zhen.

“Who are you?” asked Lin Zhen.

“Hey! You aren’t from Hills Star, are you? I’ve never seen you before.”

“I’m not from here. I just arrived.”

“Well then, outsider, are you interested in racing?”

“Racing?” Lin Zhen was somewhat unclear about the other party’s meaning.

“Yeah, racing. I see that your spaceship is not bad. How about driving it through an asteroid belt 300 stars away at sub-light speed? The first person to make it through wins. Are you interested in betting a few rounds?”

At this point, Lin Zhen could see the other party’s spaceship clearly. It was also a light-speed spaceship made of Perpetual Crystals and Crystal Stones.

This spaceship was slightly worse than Lin Zhen’s because it had fewer Perpetual Crystals and only had Perpetual Crystal protection at a few key locations. However, it could still travel at the speed of light.

Lin Zhen was not good at and didn’t like this kind of racing, so he refused directly.

“Sorry, I’m not interested.”

“You might not know this yet, but traveling through an asteroid belt is really exciting. A solid spaceship is crucial. If you’re willing to part with your spaceship, I can give you an appropriate price.”

Lin Zhen shook his head: “I don’t need money.”

After being refused continuously, the blonde youth’s face looked a bit ugly.

“If you’ve heard of the Heavenly Tower organization, I believe you wouldn’t dare to refuse me like this, outsider.”

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. He had indeed heard of Heavenly Tower.

There is a saying on Earth that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This saying also applies in the star world, only the rivers and lakes here are much larger and more dangerous.

The so-called Heavenly Tower is actually a gang, a gang organization of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

This giant planet with a population of trillions is full of gangs. They engage in various businesses such as interstellar cargo transport, slave trafficking, monopolizing commerce, assassination, hiring, and even expanding into many businesses within the Dimensional Universe.

In fact, many gangs also exist in each of the primary Cosmic Nations, but Lin Zhen has never been in contact with them.

However, the gangs in primary Cosmic Nations cannot be compared to those in intermediate Cosmic Nations in terms of manpower, material resources, or financial resources.

In his previous life, Lin Zhen had once heard that a lord with a huge territory, with a diameter of fifty light-years, offended a gang called the Dragon Totem, and conflicts broke out between the two parties.

As a result, Dragon Totem sent 10,000 Constant Star Stages, 100 Black Hole Stages, and, under the leadership of a star system-level expert, drove spaceships and wiped out the territory!

Trillions of people were sold as slaves, the resources in the territory were swept clean, and the prosperous territory was submerged in the long river of time.

As for the primary Civilization Universe Countries, they are no match for these intermediate Civilization gangs.

They cannot eliminate the gangs, and the gangs have intricate relationships with the senior officials of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. Therefore, the gang forces are rampant and unscrupulous.

In the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, the largest gangs are Heavenly Tower, Earth Core Jade Tower, Dragon Totem, and Qing Luan Society.

These four major gangs have many members and are spread throughout Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, and even in the Tianhe Empire.

Lin Zhen didn’t expect to encounter a gang as soon as he arrived at Hills Star, which was really annoying.

However, Lin Zhen would not be intimidated by someone else’s words. He smiled at the blonde youth: “So you’re from Heavenly Tower, I apologize for that, but my spaceship is still not for sale.”

“So you’re saying you don’t give face to our Heavenly Tower.”

“If you insist on saying that, then so be it!”

Lin Zhen disconnected the communication without hesitation. How could a gang scare him? In this life, he would not let anyone step on him.

A few hundred kilometers away from Lin Zhen’s Perpetual Crystal Spaceship, a young man with golden hair looked upset on a crystal stone spaceship.

“The ignorant fool, refusing the wine he’s offered and having to drink penalty wine instead. Investigate! Find out the background of this foreign kid!”

“Brother Jin, you’re going to participate in the Under-100 Camp. The leader says that you need to be low key during this time…”

“Cleaning up an outsider won’t affect anything, go investigate.”

“Understood!”

The Perpetual Crystal Spaceship arrived above a street, and Lin Zhen put the spaceship away, landing on the street surface.

This place was a villa area, with each villa being worth over a billion. Han Sha and Jie Li lived here.

Following the address given by Han Sha, Lin Zhen arrived at their doorstep.

A scanner at the entrance started and a red light flashed. With a ding, the door opened.

“Welcome, Mr. Lin Zhen. The two gentlemen are waiting for you in the reception room.”

Lin Zhen stepped inside, passing through a small garden path and entered the reception room on the first floor of the villa.

“Hey, Lin Zhen, you’re here! Come and have a seat.”

Han Sha enthusiastically waved and gestured for Lin Zhen to sit down at a large round table surrounded by chairs.

Lin Zhen nodded and found a seat. Then he looked at the people in the living room.

There were more than a dozen people here, not just Han Sha and Jie Li.

Aside from Lin Zhen, almost everyone here was at the Constant Star Stage. Only two people were at Level 9 of the Planet Stage.

Lin Zhen even saw Cao Yang from Blue Bay Star. Cao Yang smiled and nodded at Lin Zhen. Their previous disagreement had long passed, and Lin Zhen was now a lord whom he respected.

Han Sha clapped his hands at this time, “Alright, now that everyone is here, let Jie Li tell everyone about the event.”

Jie Li cleared his throat and began, “Everyone, I believe you all know why we’re here this time. Yes, we’re going to participate in the Under-100 Camp.”

“The Under-100 Camp is a major event in the Fire Kirin Empire, held once every hundred years to select real talents and foster them with priority.”

“Each of you has been chosen by the Star River Giant Beast Alliance within the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. From the moment you enter this door, you are part of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance and will represent us in competing against others from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.”

At this time, a serious-looking young man asked, “Mr. Jie Li, who else will we compete against?”

Lin Zhen glanced at the young man. He had fair skin, and a golden line on his forehead that looked like a vertical eye. He was at Level 9 of the Constant Star Stage and seemed very powerful.

“Huo Li, the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation has more than just our Star River Giant Beast Alliance. All major forces will send people to participate, so the competition will not only be present but also very fierce!”

Huo Li sneered, “I don’t mind if it’s fierce. I just don’t want the opponents to be weak. That would be boring.”

Jie Li continued, “Based on the information, the selection in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation will be held within a World Stone. By then, not only will we be there, but forces such as the Heavenly Tower, Dragon Totem, and many others will also be present. Even the large families, the military, Asura Arena, and others within the Federation will have many experts entering. So, all of you can’t be complacent.”

Huo Li seemed to not care about Jie Li’s words. Instead, he looked around at the people in the room. When his gaze fell upon Lin Zhen, he couldn’t help but sneer, “Mr. Jie Li, you should worry about others. Some people’s realms are so low that they might get eliminated with a single blow, bringing shame to the Star River Giant Beast Alliance.”

“There’s no need to worry about that. We still have eleven months before the selection battle for the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. During this time, we’ll give you a comprehensive test.”

“How will you test us?”

“We’ll test your bloodline genes. Based on your bloodline genes, we’ll provide you with genetic fluids. The strength of each person will be clear by then.”

Han Sha stood up and addressed everyone, “We will sign a contract with you now. After signing, you’ll all permanently belong to the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. Let me read out the terms.”

“First: Obey the alliance’s orders and never betray.”

“Second: The alliance will provide you with genetic fluids unconditionally… ”

“Third: Members must fulfill their duties… ”

Han Sha went on with a series of agreements. After signing this contract, these people would become part of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. The obligations weren’t many, but the benefits were significant.

Everyone carefully read the contract. It was important to understand the terms as it would permanently take effect once signed.

Lin Zhen’s eyes scanned the contract and thought it was acceptable. He picked up the pen and wrote down his name with a flourish.

Everything was recorded within the Dimensional Universe and could not be tampered with or denied.

Huo Li, Cao Yang, and the others also signed the contract.

Han Sha collected all the contracts and stored them carefully. His attitude immediately became much friendlier.

“Alright! Now, everyone, we are all family. You’ll have a ten-minute break, and then please shut down your Dimensional Universe communications systems and personal electronic devices. The moment you’ve been looking forward to is almost here. We’re about to start testing your bloodlines and distribute genetic fluids based on each person’s condition!”
