I Am Super Rich
-Book VII-

Chapter 301

Jasper was standing outside the enormous Octagon.

His tiny body was like an ant in front of this gigantic spaceship the size of an elephant.

Even though David was facing such a massive object, he was not scared. Instead, he acted without a second thought.

Bang!

He punched the outside of the Octagon.

The Octagon's hard exterior was slightly dented, but not much damage was sustained.

Despite this, the giant spaceship shook slightly.

One could see how strong David's punch was.

He was a peak Planet Ranker. Hence, he was considered extremely powerful in the Stella Civilization Galaxy.

David looked at the dent on the Octagon that he created and frowned. He seemed to be dissatisfied with the damage.

This thing had a solid defense indeed.

The seemingly casual punch was no joke. It was a punch from a peak Planet Ranker, so if this punch landed on Dark Cape, Dark Cape would be smashed into pieces.

However, he only caused a dent to the Octagon.

If one punch could not work, then he would punch it again.

Bang bang bang!

Then, David punched the same spot on the Octagon repeatedly.

The dent on the Octagon started spreading and became more prominent. It seemed that it would be broken soon.

At the same time, his strength also pushed this big object around.

However, the Octagon started to accelerate and rise at this moment.

"David, stop wasting your energy. As long as you haven't reached Stellar Rank, you will never be able to breach the defense of the Octagon in a short time. Goodbye! When I see you next time, I will show you the difference between an indigenous planet and the Stella Civilization Galaxy. When this happens, you will regret not agreeing to my requests," Pavan's voice could be heard from the Octagon.

'You want to run?'

'You must be dreaming!'

David stopped punching.

He also felt he might need more time breaking this stupid ship.

Clearly, Pavan was trying to escape.

He had killed so many people on Earth. However, not only did he want to flee, but he also wanted to come back for revenge. How could David let that happen?

He teleported thousands of meters above the Octagon and charged down at lightning speed.

"Master Pavan, what should we do? David is blocking our path."

"Ignore him. Use full force and just crash into him. The Octagon is a military tactical weapon created by the Milky Way Empire so it could stop the attack of a Planet Ranker. Even though David is a peak Planet Ranker, he is still in that realm. Therefore, he can't break the Octagon for the time being," Pavan said furiously, waving his hand and pointing at David on the screen, who was charging at them.

"Yes, Master Pavan!"

The Octagon accelerated and charged at David, who himself was charging down at them.

Boom!

The two smashed into each other, emitting a deafening sound.

However, it did not look like either side had the upper hand.

David did not destroy the Octagon, and the Octagon did not send David flying like Pavan and the others expected.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and David's goal was achieved.

His goal was to stop Pavan from leaving.

Hence, the flying Octagon was stopped by David.

Due to the inertia, the inside of the Octagon was a mess.

Most of the people were toppling all over the place.

Thankfully, the people Pavan brought along were not weak, so they could still endure this.

"M-Master Pavan, we've been blocked!" Someone yelled in terror.

"Why are you panicking ? Continue to accelerate! Let's leave at the fastest speed possible!" Pavan said with a gloomy face.

"This is the furthest it can go!"

"Activate our attack and destroy Earth. I don't believe David will ignore all the lives on Earth!" Pavan said sternly.

"Yes, Master Pavan!"

The Octagon started gathering power.

David looked at the spaceship that he had blocked, and a cold smirk appeared on the corner of his lips.

'You really want to try that? Then try this!'

After that, David teleported away.

Then, he dived down and smashed onto the giant body of the Octagon again.

Boom!

Another loud sound.

The Octagon started shaking violently.

The power that it just gathered dispersed immediately.

That was the Octagon's weakness.

Even though it had a strong attack, and it could even destroy a planet if it started its strongest attack, it still needed time to gather power.

How would David give them this chance?

Next-

Bang bang bang!

David crashed into the Octagon again and again, using his full might like he was a hammer.

He had reached sub-light speed and was even faster than the comet that almost crashed into Earth the last time.

The strong crash caused the giant Octagon to sink rapidly.

David could push the Octagon by himself while the Octagon was using its full force.

The strength of a peak Planet Ranker was horrifying.

"Master Pavan! The attack was interrupted, and we had no time to gather power. Plus, the Octagon is rapidly sinking, and David keeps attacking the same spot. We can't endure this any longer. What should we do?"

"What should we do? What should we do? How the f*ck would I know? Am I controlling the Octagon, or are you? Hurry up and think of a solution! Once the ship's defense is breached, we'll all die. You're the one who attacked the city and earthlings just now!" Pavan pointed at the commander of the Octagon and yelled.

He was also panicking.

They were not David's opponent if the Octagon was breached. After all, David was a peak Planet Ranker.

"Master Pavan, I think it will be hard to leave. Let's just pass this message back to the family! We might have the capital to negotiate with David if we do that. After all, you're the son of the Tuffin family. As long as you let David know the power of the Tuffin family, he would not dare to do anything to you for the sake of the Earth. If not, we might be met with unexpected defeat," an elder said.

When Pavan heard that, he felt that it made sense.

As long as he sent a message back to the family and asked the family to send more powerful people over, David would not dare to do anything to him.

If not, his family would destroy the Earth.

Pavan said quickly, "Right! Send a message now! Right now! Send the message back to the family as soon as possible. Ask them to send someone here. Remember, you have to give them the accurate location!"

"Yes, Master Pavan!"

—

David was still attacking the Octagon.

Boom!

Soon, a loud rumble could be heard.

David has pressed the Octagon to the ground.

This was also the first time the Octagon had touched the ground.

David was still attacking the same part of the Octagon.

The dent was very deep now.

Moreover, with David's continuous attack, cracks had started to appear around the dent.

Soon, David would have broken through the exterior of the ship.

Mason and other earthlings were stunned by this.

David forcefully stopped such a tough alien spaceship all by himself.

His strength had reached an unimaginable realm.

As for the earthlings watching the broadcast, they could only watch via the satellite since the broadcasting tool in Dark Cape was damaged after the laser cannon exploded.

Therefore, they could not see anything clearly.

They could not see how David beat the aliens stupid like a god descending from heaven.

—

The Octagon fell to the ground.

David did not stop attacking.

He was going to break this turtle shell that was the Octagon so he could pull out Pavan and the others.

"Master Pavan, the Octagon only has 30% defensive shields left before it'll be breached."

"Since we have passed the news back to the family, elders, let's take the initiative to leave! We can't let David continue to attack, or the Octagon will really be destroyed," Pavan said after tidying his clothes.

Now that things had escalated to this point, he could only go out and talk to David.

"Yes, Master Pavan," the four elders said together.

While David continued to attack the Octagon, the spot at the upper center of the Octagon opened suddenly.

Pavan came out with four elders and his group of servants.

David stopped attacking and looked inexplicably at Pavan and others.

He had not broken the turtle shell yet, but they came out on their own?

"David, let's talk," Pavan said.

"What is there to talk about? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You killed so many earthlings, so I can only use your life to pay respect to the spirit of our Earth's compatriots in heaven," David said coldly.

"David, you already have the power of a peak planet ranker. You'll even be one of the strongest beings in the heart of the Milky Way. These are just ordinary people. Do you really want to fight against the Tuffin family for their sake? The strength of the Tuffin family is not something you can resist. If you let us go, can take you to the most prosperous place in the Milky Way, where it will be your stage. I believe that with your talent, you will definitely prosper."

"I'm not interested. I only want to avenge my fellow earthlings."

After David finished speaking, his body disappeared from its place and rushed towards Pavan.

"Elders!" Pavan shouted nervously when he saw David taking action.

The four elders appeared in front of Pavan at the same time.

However…

Could four mid-Planet Rankers resist the strength of the peak Planet ranker?

Besides, David also had the assistance of his materialized mind power, so he was almost unbeatable.

The gap between the two was too great.

Just a moment later…

David killed the four elders.

David did not have the slightest sympathy for the aliens.

Hence, he would not go easy on them.

After dealing with the four elders, David approached Pavan.

Pavan's legs went weak with fright as he faced an invincible David.

He could only say in a loud and shaky voice, "David, I've already notified the family of Earth's location. They will send even stronger people over soon. If you kill me, the Tuffin family will directly destroy the Earth. When that happens, all the lives on Earth will turn to dust. This is because I am Master Pavan Tuffin !"

David's hand stopped in front of Pavan's chest and did not touch Pavan.

"What did you say? Say that again!"

Pavan was elated when he saw David stopping.

Indeed, the Earth was David's weak spot.

These aboriginals were so hard to understand.

They were already strong, yet they still cared about the ordinary folk.

If Pavan were David and as strong as him, he would have left Earth for somewhere even more prosperous.

Pavan would not bat an eyelid or the lives and deaths of the earthlings.

However, Pavan wanted to see how David cared for the Earth.

"I said I've sent the Earth's location back to the Tuffin family. They will send someone here soon. When that happens, they won't just send an Octagon. Instead, they will send a Milky Way Battleship. One strike from it will be enough to destroy the Earth. If you want to kill me, all lives on Earth will serve to be my burial offering not long after. You have to think this through. Your family and friends are all here."

Chapter 302

"You've sent a message and news of the Earth back to your family? How long will it take for your family to arrive?" David asked, frowning.

 

"Judging from the speed of the Milky Way Battleship, as long as the exact location of the Earth can be pinpointed, it will take up to three months to get here. If they discover I am dead, they will destroy the Earth in a fit of rage. None of the living beings here will be able to escape by then," Pavan replied quickly.

What he said was not the entire truth.

He did send the message back, but Pavan was nothing compared to the value of the Earth, an indigenous living planet.

Thus, the Tuffin family would not directly destroy the Earth after finding out where he was.

Pavan's status was not that high yet.

He was indeed the eldest son of the Tuffin family.

However, he was not the most talented person in this generation of the Tuffin family.

Otherwise, he would not take the risk to travel around the edge of the Milky Way looking for an indigenous living planet to plant a slave mark on.

Pavan only came out to take risks because he could not win against the others in his family.

If Pavan could find an indigenous living planet and planted his slave mark, he would prosper.

Even if he was not as talented as others, he could still compete for the position of the Tuffin family's head or even the position of the Master of the Milky Way.

He did not expect that a peak Planet Ranker would be living on the first indigenous living planet he encountered in his life.

He was extremely unlucky.

Quite a few people took risks like Pavan in the heart of the Milky Way, and they would often come out to try their luck.

Although very few people actually found indigenous living planets, the ones lucky enough to find them would successfully plant their slave marks.

In the end, more than 90% of these successful people became big shots without a hiccup.

However, when it came to Pavan's turn, something unexpected happened, and he could only be considered a precedent.

This was because no one in the history of the Milky Way had ever been lucky enough to find an indigenous living planet only to get killed by the beings living on it.

Pavan was definitely the first.

—

After David heard what Pavan said, he was lost in thought.

'Will the Tuffin-family reach Earth in three months?

'Then I can't kill Pavan right away.'

Although David did not know how strong the Tuffin family was, judging from these guys that Pavan brought, the Tuffin family was definitely a behemoth.

The Earth could really be destroyed if he was not careful.

He should just take Pavan back and imprison him.

After that, he would discuss with everyone how to deal with Pavan.

Even if David was now the strongest on Earth, he could not call the shots for tens of billions of human beings.

After all, this concerned everyone's life.

He had no right to take this away from them.

David smacked Pavan lightly on the neck, knocking him unconscious.

Then he looked at the Octagon's staff and the dozens of beautiful women behind Pavan and asked, "Do you want me to knock you unconscious before taking you away, or do you want to go with me?"

"We are willing to follow you, Master David, and I only ask for you to spare our lives. We are all Pavan's servants, so we can only execute his orders. Otherwise, he would kill us. So, please be magnanimous, Master David!"

A middle-aged man stood forward and knelt in front of David.

He was the commander of the Octagon.

Immediately afterward, all the staff knelt.

The dozens of beautiful women also knelt and said, "So do we! Master David, please be magnanimous and spare us. We are willing to serve you as slaves and maids for life." David ignored these people.

He would not soften from just a few words.

They just killed nearly 100,000 of his compatriots on Earth!

After that, David called Mason and other masters on Earth to take all of them away.

—

At the heart of the Stella Civilization Galaxy.

If you looked at it from the void of the universe, you would see a beautiful scene.

Countless dazzling planets were gathered here.

Unlike the empty, quiet, and rare living planets on the edge of the Milky Way, countless living planets were present here.

It was also the most prosperous and lively area in the Milky Way.

The solar system where the Earth was located was like a grain of sand in the desert compared to this place.

The Milky Way Empire was the most powerful force in the galaxy.

It governed all the planets in the Milky Way.

All other forces had to live under the jurisdiction of the Milky Way Empire.

Living planets like Earth, which were on the edge of the Milky Way, were theoretically under the jurisdiction of the Milky Way Empire as well.

However, since the Milky Way Empire had not registered Earth, it was like people on Earth lived without an identity card. Hence, it was not registered nor recognized by the Milky Way Empire.

Therefore, almost all forces rushed to find unregistered planets to conquer them for themselves.

The value of a planet of indigenous life like Earth was very great, and a force might be brought to power because of the discovery of such a planet.

The most important reason was that they could plant slave marks without being restricted by the Milky Way Empire because the Milky Way Empire forbade slave marks in the heart of the Milky Way.

If discovered, the Milky Way Empire might destroy the entire family of the culprit.

Therefore, everyone could only look for the indigenous living planets that had not been registered on the galaxy's edge.

The slave mark was a special bloodline curse.

After being planted, it would invade the bloodline of life on a planet and could not be eliminated.

Its most prominent role was to slowly absorb the talents of the entire race.

Ultimately, it would be passed on to the person who planted the mark so that the person would prosper and flourish.

This was the most terrifying and cruel thing about it, as once the slave mark was planted, none of the beings living planet would not be able to emancipate themselves.

They could only become the slaves of the mark planter.

They would be discriminated against no matter where they went until they died out.

—

At this point, in the Stella Civilization Galaxy at the center of the Milky Way.

On a gorgeous giant living planet.

There were peaks tens of thousands of meters high.

A huge signal receiver was built on top of the mountain.

This was where the Tuffin family received ultra-long-range signals.

If the message were sent back from a short distance, it would be sent directly to the Tuffin family.

However, once the distance reached a certain figure, the family could no longer receive it.

By then, it could only be sent here for transit before being passed to the Tuffin family.

As a big family, the Tuffin family had countless clansmen training outside, so the family would receive many signals from outsiders daily.

Some would ask for help, while others reported newly discovered resources. passing

However, the ultra-long-distance signal tower had not received anything for a long time.

Very few would leave the known confines of the Milky Way to venture the barren edge as it was too dangerous to do so.

If they were not careful, they might die.

Today, however, the Tuffin family's ultra-long-distance signal tower suddenly lit up.

"I have news! The ultra-long-distance signal tower received a message from 30,000 light-years away."

"30,000 light-years away? That far? From whom?"

"Master Pavan!"

"Quick! Send it back to the family immediately."

"Yes!"

—

Inside a luxurious building in Planet Tuffin, a meeting was being held.

This was Pavan's family, the Tuffin family.

The Tuffin family was also one of the eight major families of the Milky Way.

They were very powerful, and many people looked up to them.

Even on the scale of the entire Milky Way, the Tuffin family was among the top forces.

"The reason I called everyone here is to discuss something. According to the news I just received, Pav discovered an indigenous living planet called Earth on the edge of the Milky Way. There are tens of billions of human beings living on it," the head of the Tuffin family, Orson Tuffin, said.

'What?'

When Orson said this, it immediately shocked the core members of the Tuffin family who were in the room.

'He found an indigenous living planet on the edge of the Milky Way with tens of billions of humans?'

Everyone knew how beneficial this was...

However, at the same time, they also had a question in their hearts.

Since he encountered an indigenous living planet, why did Pavan send this news back?

This was obviously unreasonable.

In such cases, Pavan should have planted a slave mark on the Earth as soon as possible.

Then, he would use genetic drugs to stimulate the potential of human beings on earth and bring back the ones with great potential to the family.

Pavan's position in the family would change immediately if this were the case.

Even if he was not very talented, he could still overtake the others and become the most respected person in the family.

In the history of the Milky Way, many people with mediocre talents had flourished because of the slave mark they planted on the indigenous living planet.

Wasn't Pavan searching for this opportunity after leaving the family for so many years?

Before everyone could speak, Orson immediately changed the subject and continued, "But this indigenous living planet called Earth is a bit special. According to the news from Pav, there is a peak Planet Ranker on Earth, and he has imprisoned Pav, so Pav needs us to send someone to rescue him. What does everyone think?"

Indeed, they knew it was not that simple.

It turned out that he had encountered an obstacle, and had sent the message to ask for help.

If Pavan could handle it, he would not have sent a message back.

He would have already planted his slave mark.

It was impossible for him not to know how valuable an indigenous living planet was.

Once he needed his family's help, that planet would no longer belong to him.

However, the Tuffin family would also give Pavan the corresponding compensation.

Even the compensation alone would make many people jealous.

After all, the value of an indigenous living planet was too great.

"Orson, is the news reliable? An indigenous living planet with a peak Planet Ranker? It has never happened before," an old man said.

He was the deputy head of the Tuffin family and the current head's younger brother, Adan Tuffin.

A super family like the Tuffin family had a lot of children.

Before the next head was elected, everyone could compete fairly with various means.

Once the head was determined, everyone would stop fighting internally and help each other.

If not, they would be punished by the family and get kicked out.

Otherwise, a family would only decline if internal fighting continued, and it would be impossible to continue its glory.

"The news was sent back by Pav's ship. Plus, such a incident is

not impossible just because there has been no precedent. The Milky Way is so big, and there are still many unknown areas, so anything can happen. I think it's reliable, so I'm discussing with everyone how we will deal with this."

"If it's true, then the value of this planet is too great. An indigenous planet with an actual peak Planet Ranker means that the human talent on it is terrifyingly powerful. If we plant the slave mark on it, the feedback for the planter would be unprecedented. This might further empower our family," Adan said with some excitement.

All the cores of the Tuffin family who were sitting lit up.

This was indeed the case.

The higher the talent of the people with slave marks, the greater the feedback would be to the planter.

If it was really like what Pavan said, the possibility of the Tuffin family furthering itself in the future was very high.

Chapter 303

"Lord Orson, if the news is true, what else is there to discuss ? We should send people immediately to plant a slave mark on Earth. Things might change if we're too late."

"Yes, I agree to send someone to Earth immediately."  

Everyone expressed their opinions.

The whole hall was chaotic and noisy.

It was exhilarating to hear the news from Pavan as this was related to the heights the Tuffin family would reach in the future.

Currently, the Tuffin family looked glamorous, and they were one of the eight major families of the Milky Way, but they had been the last of eight major families for many years.

Many families that were not inferior to the Tuffin family were eying their position.

Now, the Tuffin family was in dire need of change, but they needed to secure their position in the eight major families first.

Pavan's news could be regarded as the long–awaited rain for the Tuffin family.

When everyone in the Tuffin family saw these rays of hope, Orson waved his hand, and everyone fell silent.

"I didn't invite you here to discuss whether we should send people to Earth because there's no need to discuss that. Everyone knows that the value of the Earth is huge, so how can we not take it for ourselves ? I called everyone here to discuss who should go to Earth to plant the slave mark. Once the candidate is confirmed, this person will undoubtedly be the next head of the Tuffin family. Although it is a bit early and the family's training is not over yet, we have no other choice. Since there is an unexpected situation, and there should be special treatment. What does everyone think?" Orson said.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Earth had such huge value, so no one opposed the idea of asking the next head of the Tuffin family to plant the slave mark.

However, determining the next head of the Tuffin family might be a fierce battle.

It was just that Pavan had been left out.

Although he was the eldest son of the Tuffin family, he was not even among the top five most talented people in the Tuffin family.

Since they needed to choose the younger head of the family, he had to be the best person among the younger generation of the Tuffin family.

"Very well, issue a family summoning order to all the direct descendants of the Tuffin family who have been trained abroad, and ask them to come back within a month for the election of the next head of the Tuffin family. If they're late, they'll be disqualified. We'll go to the Earth immediately after the election," Orson decided.

—

Earth.

David locked Pavan and the rest in Dark Cape, and they were interrogated separately.

The final information they gathered infuriated David and the gang and taught them more about the slave mark.

Luckily, Pavan had failed.

If not, everyone on Earth would be doomed as they would never escape from Pavan's control forever.

They would still be trapped until the Earth went extinct.

David also posted the explanation of the slave mark on the Internet and instantly ignited the anger of human being worldwide.

At the same time, David also gave them some information about the Stella Civilization Galaxy, the Milky Way Empire, and the Tuffin family.

The Tuffin family that Pavan belonged to was one of the eight major families of the Milky Way, and they were very powerful.

In other words, the Tuffin family would send a stronger team to Earth after three months. David felt that his current strength was not enough, and that he needed to continue to improve.  

Unfortunately, the system was still updating.

This made him a little helpless, since this had never happened before.

It had been three days, and it was still updating.

David could not do anything either.

He could only continue to use the system after it was updated.

—

Night time.

David was sleeping.

Suddenly, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.  

He thought he was dreaming, but David felt something was wrong after a while.

A dream would not feel so real.

Just as he was about to look around, a figure slowly appeared in front of him.

The figure slowly looked more authentic.

It was an old man with long bangs that completely covered his forehead.

David looked at the old man and felt that this man looked familiar, but he was sure that he had never seen this man before.

It was such a strange feeling.

He had obviously never met this man before, but the man felt very familiar to him.

David calmed himself down.

Before he could start asking, the old man spoke.

"Hi, David, nice to meet you."

"Who are you? Why do you feel so familiar to me even though I'm sure I haven't met you before?" David asked.

"Hahaha… Is that so? I also feel that you are very familiar," the old man said with a loud laugh.

David frowned and asked again, "Who the hell are you?"

However, what the old man said next surprised David.

"I am you!"

"What? Impossible!" David asked with wide eyes.

"Nothing is impossible! To be precise, I am you three thousand years later," the old man said again.

"What… What the hell is going on here?" David stammered.

Even though his strength had significantly increased now, and he had seen people from alien planets like Pavan, he was still a little caught off guard by this news.

"David, since you're here, it proves that the earth's catastrophe has come. You have met Pavan, right? The system will now connect to the Stella Civilization Galaxy and start the second phase."

"You… How do you know?"

"David, I am very relieved to see you like this, because although we are the same person, we have different destinies. I have been limited in my life, and I don't even have the right to have any descendants, but you have unlimited potential. This is good ... Very good… My efforts were not in vain, and God finally blessed me for once," the old man's voice started to choke up.

As he listened to the old man's choked voice, David's heart felt sad for some reason.

Maybe the old man was too infectious.

David understood that this old man definitely had an inseparable relationship with the system.

He also urgently wanted to gain some information about the system now.

He had the system for so long.

Aside from knowing that it was called a super lavish system and he could become stronger by spending money, he did not know anything else.

The old man sobbed by himself for a few minutes.

Then, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and pulled apart the bangs on his forehead, exposing his forehead.

David's eyes narrowed.

This…

This old man had a blood-red word that said 'slave' on his forehead.

'Is he planted with a slave mark?'

"David, do you see this? This is the difference between us. Pavan planted a slave mark on me, and my life, including my descendants, is controlled by him. All of my hard work is for him, so I didn't dare to have any descendants. On the contrary, you've gotten away with this. With your talent, you will have endless potential and chances in the future. The Stella Civilization Galaxy won't be your finish line. You should look further. More powerful civilizations are waiting for you to conquer, and your success will also be my success. Hahaha!" The old man said excitedly.

Then, he started guffawing.

At this moment, David's brain was empty.

He felt that this old man was a maniac.

However, deep in his heart, he believed what this old man said.

"Sir, can you tell me what's going on?" David asked respectfully.

The old man looked at David and started reminiscing.

David did not bother him.  

After a while, the old man said slowly, "David, I know it's hard for you to accept this for now, but I want to tell you that we are indeed the same person. You would have turned out like me in three thousand years if you had no system."

"I don't understand what you mean," David said.

"Then I'll ask you one last question. You should know Celia, right? What is your relationship with her?" the old man asked.

"She's my girlfriend. I love her very much and will protect her for the rest of my life," David replied honestly.

"That's good! You must cherish her. Celia is a good girl," the old man said with a sigh of relief.

Three thousand years ago, he let down Celia in his timeline.

Now, he hoped David could make up for his regrets.

The old man felt relieved when he heard David talking about being with Celia.

He did not want to intervene and affect David and Celia in this timeline.

"I know," David said seriously.

"There is another woman. If you can, try to help her as much as possible," the old man thought for a while and added.

"Who?"

"Selena."

"Her?"

"You know her?"

"Yes, I know her, and we're pretty close."

"Then, you… Have you developed into that kind of relationship?"

"Not yet! I already have Celia. Are you and Selena…"

"No. Selena is also very talented. When I went out to find a way to remove the slave mark, she was always by my side. We have been together for nearly three thousand years. She can live a good life but chose to take the road of no return with me. We all knew that under the restriction of the slave mark, there could be no descendants. So, we had never gone passed that stage. Ultimately, I could only watch her die in the ruins of the God Tier Civilization to give me hope in life. I owe her too much…" the old man said sadly.

David was taken aback.

He did not expect David in that timeline to have such a relationship with Selena, or should he call it a star–crossed relationship.

In the end, in order to give the old man a chance, she died in the ruins.

In that moment, David felt a massive change in his impression of Selena.

Even though he did not hate her before, he was starting to appreciate her a little bit now.

This woman had personality, persistence, and righteousness .

She was indeed a nice woman.

"Don't worry! I will do my best to help her. Maybe I can make up for your regrets," David replied.

The old man nodded and continued, "Three thousand years ago, I graduated from South River University, and then at Celia's insistence, I joined Beautylish, which belonged to her mother, Mrs. Young."

"Slowly, I won over Mrs. Young and Mr. Young with my hard work, and also won over many customers to become the general manager of Beautylish. When Celia and I were fantasizing about a better life in the future, the catastrophe came…"

After listening to the old man's narration, David could not return to his senses for a long time.

It was just unbelievable.

According to the old man, he genuinely was himself three thousand years later.

After being dumped by Sarah after she cheated on him with Leo during college, he still vomited blood and got sent to the university's infirmary.

However, the fate of the two was completely different next.

Chapter 304  

David's life changed dramatically after he got the system, while the old man was still just an ordinary person.

He continued going to class. Later, Celia discovered he had broken up with Sarah, so she launched a fierce pursuit of him, and the two stayed together after graduation.

After that, he joined Mindy's Beautylish.

While everything was going well for him when the catastrophe arrived.

A comet hit the Earth.

Pavan did stop it at the last minute, but he was not so kind since he was the one who pushed the comet to Earth in the first place.

If he had not accelerated the comet, it would not have reached Earth and would have been intercepted by Jupiter's strong gravitational pull.

After saving the earthlings and becoming the savior, Pavan successfully planted the slave mark on Earth.

Then, he used the genetic drug on young people ages ten and thirty on Earth to stimulate their potential.

The old man happened to be one of them.

He did not expect his talent to be completely activated after he used the genetic drug to stimulate his potential.

His cultivation speed was shocking.

The old man at that time did not know the function of the slave mark.

Thus, he practiced very hard.

In reality, he passed on half of his potential to Pavan.

It was not until later that he realized something was wrong.

It was a pity that the slave mark had penetrated into the bloodline of human beings on Earth by then.

Whether it was the descendants of humans on Earth or humans born on Earth, they would all be controlled by slave marks.

Since then, he had embarked on the road to remove the slave mark.

This had been going for nearly three thousand years.

During this period, the old man met many people with the same fate as him.

They all had unique talents but were planted with the slave mark. However, they were not willing to accept their fate. For the continuation of the entire species, they began to search for a way to remove the slave mark.

The old man organized them and searched together.

However, three thousand years had passed, but they still had not found any solution.

"Then what happened to this system? Were you the one who gave me the system since it chose me?" David asked.

"The system was found in the relics of a God Tier Civilization. In order to get it, we sacrificed a lot of people. In the end, I was the only one who escaped with the system. Everyone pinned their hopes on it, but because the technological level of the God Tier Civilization far exceeded our imagination, I couldn't solve it at all. You can only slowly find out for yourself in the future," the old man replied.

"God Tier Civilization ? What level is that? I only know that the Milky Way is a level 3 civilization, and the Earth should be less than level 1," David asked curiously.

"The God Tier Civilization is a civilization beyond level 9. If you have to count how many levels it is, it should be a level 10 civilization."

"L–Level 10 civilization?" David asked in shock.

A level 3 civilization in the Milky Way was already a behemoth to David.

So what was a level 10 civilization like?

Did this civilization even exist?

"That's right. The universe is huge, and it's unimaginable. The Milky Way is just a small corner of it. There are still a lot of high level civilizations out there, and you need to discover them yourself in the future. After I got the system, I was badly hurt even though I survived. In the end, I opened the system before I died and gambled with my life. Just like that, the system quickly brought me back to reminisce about my life. Ultimately, we returned to the time when I was in my third year of university and got

dumped by Sarah. At that point, I could not hold on anymore. I think the system should have appeared at that moment, right? Right now, I am dead, and what you're seeing is just a glimpse of my soul."

David felt that the old man's words were absurd and nonsensical, but he could not find any reason to refute it.

This was because if he did not have the system, no one on Earth could stop Pavan, and things might have really developed as the old man said.

The human beings on Earth were planted with slave marks, and they could not get rid of the marks until the human beings on earth became extinct.

This could also be regarded as a relatively reasonable explanation for the system's appearance.

Why did the system suddenly come to him?

It turned out that he himself in another timeline had risked his life to do this for the current him.

However, the system was a little too mysterious.

It was a product of a level 10 civilization!

Even if it was a level 9 civilization, David felt that he might struggle to understand it, let alone himself as a citizen of Earth, a civilization that was not even on level 1.

If he wanted to know more about this, there was still a long way to go.

"Thank you!" David said sincerely to the old man.

This old man had paid too much for the people of Earth.

However, if David were in the old man's shoes, he might have also done the same.

"David, you don't need to thank me because if I help you, I will also be helping myself. In that timeline, being enslaved spelled eternal pain for human beings on Earth. Wherever you go, people would look at us with discrimination. It was not only me, countless people spent their lives looking for a way to remove the slave mark. By the way, since Pavan failed to plant the slave mark on the Earth, how is he now? He didn't escape, right?" The old man asked suddenly.

"No, I crippled him and detained him," David answered.

"That's good. You can't let him escape because the Octagon has something that earthlings need. The earthlings' potential is very strong, but it's never been stimulated. Since you've detained Pavan, you can find something called a genetic drug in the Octagon, and you can stimulate the earthlings' potential with that, and there will be no side effects. Now, without the restriction of the slave mark, what's waiting for you is the boundless universe. I've succeeded!" The old man started sobbing again.

"I understand. No matter what, I still want to thank you. If you didn't do everything to give me the system, the Earth's fate would have been the same as what you described. Pavan would have planted his slave mark here, and we would have become his slaves forever. We wouldn't have been able to emancipate ourselves until we had gone extinct.".

After David finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the old man.

"David, without the slave mark's restriction, after your talent is stimulated, coupled with the assistance of the system, your future is limitless and may reach unprecedented heights. Therefore, I still need your help for the future," the old man said.

"You can tell me. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely not refuse."

"Many of my friends who used to search for the removal of the slave mark with me died to the God Tier Civilization. Without them, I could not have escaped with the system. Thus, they exchanged their lives for the system in you. Now that you have the ability, I'll tell you the location of the planet where they live. I hope you can find them and help them," the old man looked at David and said.

"This will be my duty. Don't worry! I will do my best to help them. Even if I'm too late, I will ensure they live good lives. I will help them remove the slave mark when I have the ability to do so in the future," David solemnly promised.

He had no reason to refuse the old man's request.

Without their help, David would not be here today.

"Good! Hahaha! I'm relieved now that I have your word. I was worried that you would lose your integrity because you obtained such achievements in such a short time with the system. I think my worries were excessive because you're still the person I know so well," the old man laughed loudly and said.

David was a little speechless.

This old man was him in another timeline, so could he not know David?

Next, the old man told David some names and the locations of the planets they lived on.

They were all highly talented people.

Ever since they were planted with the slave mark, they refused to give in and kept trying to find a solution out there. Hence, they had the same fate as the old man.

They all grouped and supported each other.

In the end, they found the system in the remnants of the God Tier Civilization.

Then, it traveled through time and space and ended with David.

Although the old man described it like that, David's mind power was powerful.

He would not forget anything that he saw and heard.

He secretly memorized the names and addresses.

As long as the problems of the Earth were completely solved, he would go to rescue the planet where these people lived.

"David, I'll leave the rest to you. We have done our best. Don't underestimate yourself. Even if your talent is ranked amongst the stars, it will still stand at the very top. Plus, I believe you can create miracles with the system's assistance," the old man said as his figure began to dissipate slowly.

David knew that the old man was about to disappear completely.

He suddenly asked, "What eventually happened to Pavan in your timeline?"

"After Pavan planted a slave mark on the Earth, he prospered. He not only became the head of the Tuffin family but also defeated everyone who was competing for the Master of the Milky Way title and became the Master of the Milky Way. At the time of his death, it is said that Pavan had already taken a step further. He could only achieve this by absorbing the talents of the earthlings. Otherwise, he would not be able to do it at all because of his unremarkable talent," the old man said with a  sigh.

"Don't worry! I won't give him this chance," David said in a deep voice.

"Well then, bye, David!"

After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared from in front of David.

David woke up suddenly.

He sat up from the bed at once, and he patted his face.

He could not tell whether what he had just experienced was true.

Even so, everything in his head was so clear.

"What's wrong? David, are you okay?" Celia asked.

When David sat up suddenly, he woke Celia, who was sleeping next to him.

"I'm fine. You should go back to sleep, Celia," David comforted.

"David, did you have a nightmare?"

"Yeah, I did have a special dream."

"Don't be scared. I'll always be with you."

Celia inched closer to David and held him.

As David enjoyed Celia's smoothness, he could not help thinking about the old man in his dream.

Celia should be with David in that time and space.

However, the catastrophe destroyed everything.

David did not ask about their ending.

However, judging from what the old man said, this should not be ideal.

Selena too.

She could spare herself from all the suffering, but she insisted on going on a path filled with many obstacles.

In the end, she sacrificed her life for that sliver of hope. Due to this, David started feeling protective of that woman.

Chapter 305

After David tucked Celia in, he opened the system panel. Indeed, it had finished upgrading.

✦✦[The system has been upgraded and is now in phase 2. All data will be reorganized and refreshed. Host, please use the system reasonably according to the new rules.]

Then, an interface appeared.

✥✥✥✥

[Host: David Lidell ]

[Balance: 10000000000000000 Galaxy Dollars]

[Body: Stellar level 10 (Can be upgraded with 100 lavish points)]

[Mind: Stellar level 10 (Can be upgraded with 100 lavish points)]

[Combat: Partial Cosmos Rank ]

[Combat Skills: Void Punch (Entry level), Air Crushing Slap (Entry Level), Evil–Splitting Sword Technique(Entry Level) ]

[Skills: Ancient Traditional Medicine (Expert) ]

[Lavish points: 0]

✥✥✥✥

David looked at the reorganized and refreshed system panel.

After it entered phase 2, there were some new changes.

Firstly, his balance returned to a quadrillion, and the unit turned into Galaxy Dollars.

Then, there were additional combat and combat skills.

Besides Ancient Traditional Medicine, his driving skills, basketball skills, and so on were gone from the skills column.

This also meant that the second phase did not recognize these skills.

Of course, another plausible explanation was that David would not need these skills in the Stella Civilization Galaxy.

While David was looking at the three new combat skills that appeared on the combat skills column, he suddenly heard a voice in his head.

✦✦[The host has completed the first phase's test and has successfully entered the second phase. Three top combat skills have been rewarded: Void Punch, Air Crushing Slap, and Evil Splitting Sword Technique.]

Then, information about these three skills surged into David's brain.

After he had accepted the information about these three skills, David was excited.

'This is so powerful!

'It's similar to the combat skills on Earth, but there's such a huge difference in terms of power!'.

He could smash a planet with one Void Punch, which was formidable.

Plus, he could ignore space and distance and use Air Crushing Slap to kill someone through the air. With that, he could defeat his enemies from thousands of miles away.  

Lastly, he could eliminate all evil and kill all demons with the Evil Splitting Sword Technique. This technique would be the enemy of all evil.

David lamented about how powerful the system was.

However, he felt relieved when he thought this was a product of the God Tier Civilization.

The Earth was not even a level 1 civilization, so he could not fathom the power of the God Tier Civilization.

When David first met Pavan, he was a little worried that Pavan would discover his system.

After all, Pavan came from an even higher civilization, and the system was also from outer space.

Now, it seemed that he was just overthinking.

It would be hard to say whether someone from a level 8 or 9 civilization would discover the system, let alone a level 3 civilization.

God Tier Civilization.

This name sounded so bad*ss, it was much stronger than the level 8 or 9 civilization.

Therefore, David could use the system without worries in the future.

He would not need to worry about getting exposed.

Back then, David felt that the system was extraordinary, but he did not think it would be so powerful.

The system panel showed David's body and mind as Stellar level 10 while his combat was partial Cosmos Rank.

While he was attacking Pavan's Octagon, David only showed the combat power of a peak Planet Ranker.

Thus, one could see how thoroughly he was hiding.

If Pavan learned about David's true strength, he might piss himself in fear.

David would be on the same level as the Tuffin family senior elder with the combat power of a partial Cosmos Ranker.

Of course, David had some qualms about this.

It would not be wise of him to show his trump card immediately because he did not know if Pavan and the others had trump cards back then.

If he showed everything, he might be targeted.

So, even if it meant failing to defeat them after a long time, he did not show his combat power that was beyond peak Planet Rank.

He would be happy just to keep Pavan around.

However, if he could not keep Pavan here with his combat power as a peak Planet Rank, David would expose his power as a Stellar Ranker. He would never let Pavan go no matter what.

Now, it seemed that his strategy was correct.

He only showed the power of a peak Planet Ranker, so when Pavan passed the news back to the Tuffin family, he would tell them that David was just at peak Planet Rank.

However, he did not know that David's combat power had reached partial Cosmos Rank.

The next time the Tuffin family came to Earth, David felt he would be able to handle them.

If David let Pavan know his true strength and he passed this information back to his family, then the next person from the Tuffin family would definitely be stronger than himself.

Hence, David was not wrong in hiding his true power.

The only problem now was that the system had been measured in any currency on Earth but Galaxy Dollars.

In this case, did it mean that it is impossible for him to spend money to obtain lavish points on Earth?

Should he go to the center of the Milky Way to continue spending money to get lavish points and then improve his strength?

If so, it would be a little troublesome.

David would not leave until the Earth was completely safe.

Not leaving meant he would have no way to spend money to gain lavish points to improve his strength.

He would be able to handle the Tuffin family when they arrived, but what about the next time after that?

The people the Tuffin family sent to Earth would definitely get stronger and stronger.

David did not think he could dominate outer space as a partial Cosmos Ranker.

If he kept waiting on Earth and did not upgrade himself, his enemies would soon defeat him.

He seemed to have encountered an obstacle.

He could not upgrade himself if he did not leave Earth, but Earth might be attacked if he did.

'What should I do?'

David looked at the starry sky outside the window and was lost in thought.

The Tuffin family might be on their way here, so he could not leave Earth.

The only thing he could do was to try the genetic drug.

The David from another timeline said that the current David was extremely gifted, but his talents were not stimulated. Once he did so, he would be able to cultivate even faster.

To be honest, David was not very confident about his talent.

However, he could only do this now.

He had to try regardless of if it worked or not.

At this moment, a notification popped up on the system.

✦✦[The system is connected to the Stella Civilization Galaxy's Internet; "should I connect it to the Earth's Internet?"]✦✦

There were two choices below.

Yes and no.

'What does this mean?'

'Could the system connect to the Milky Way's Internet from Earth?'

David was elated.

This was great news!

If he could connect to the Milky Way's Internet, he could not only understand everything about the Milky Way but also spend money on the Internet.

He would be able to get lavish points to increase his strength this way, right?

David clicked on yes without hesitation.

The system opened another window.

✦✦["Connecting… Please wait…"]

About a few seconds later, the system displayed

✦✦[Connected successfully.]

✦✦[The Earth's Internet is in sync with the Milky Way's Internet. Do you want to hide the Earth's location?]

There were still two choices below.

Yes and no.

David naturally chose yes.

It would be best if he could hide the Earth's location.

If others found out and more Pavans came in the future, the Earth would be in danger.

At this moment, all the netizens staying up late to surf the Internet realized that the Internet looked different.

Strange news that they did not understand was popping up without any reason.

"Breaking news! Head of Planet Boundless, Burke Lutgen, has broken through to Cosmos Rank, and he spent a large amount of money inviting the Dance Fairy, Mia Concord , to dance for him on Planet Boundless. According to sources, Mia has already agreed, and she is now heading to Planet Boundless."

"Breaking news! The Dallarosa family announced today that they would work hard to fight for a position among the eight prominent families of the Milky Way Empire. The Tuffin family is in danger! Once they lose this position, the Tuffin family's prestige will plummet!"

"Breaking news! The Milky Way Battle Institution will hold a very rare battle among the nine institutions soon. This battle will be the biggest yet. Chief of the Primo Institution, Leonidas Hinsen, announced that there will be a '1 vs 8' battle, which shocked everyone. The other eight institutions also stated that they would teach Primo Institution a proper lesson."

There was more such news.

While countless netizens felt confused, they were also very excited.

Hence, they began to read the news earnestly.

The Earth's internet world was in an uproar.

David took out his phone and opened a website at random.

He was also very excited as he looked at the countless news about the Milky Way.  

He could actually connect to the Milky Way's Internet.

He started searching for everything about the Milky Way on his phone.

The Milky Way was just too vast.

There were hundreds of billions of planets, big and small.

There were at least a million living planets, so many things would happen daily.

David searched for half the night but realized what he understood was just the tip of the iceberg.

However, David focused on the news about the Tuffin family.

David already knew most of the things related to the Tuffin family.

He was temporarily relieved.

Although the Tuffin family was one of the eight prominent families of the Milky Way Empire, they were the weakest of the bunch.

Also, their position among the eight prominent families seemed somewhat unsafe.

On the surface, the strongest person in the Tuffin family was only Cosmos Rank.

If this were the case, it would be impossible for them to send their strongest person over.

As long as it was not a Cosmos Ranker, then a partial Cosmos Ranker like him should be able to deal with them.

This at least bought him a lot of time.

As long as he continued to improve, then the Tuffin family would not be able to do anything to him.

Of course, he did not rule out the possibility that the Tuffin family was hiding even stronger people.

They were a big family, so they would not display all of their strength.

Therefore, David could not relax in the slightest during this short period.

—

The sky was already slightly bright.

David put down his phone.

After that, he got up, washed up, and cooked.

Soon, three bowls of fragrant buttered noodles were prepared.

David took the noodles to the bedroom, woke Celia, and handed the noodles to her.

Then, he pondered for a while before knocking on Selena's door.

Knock knock knock!

"Coming!" A crisp voice said from the room.

Creak!

The door opened.

At that moment, the two stared at each other.

David only saw Selena wearing loose silk pajamas.

Two of the buttons on her chest were undone.

Selena did not expect David to be the one at her door.

Back then, it was always Celia, as David had never approached her before.

Thus, she did not tidy herself up and opened the door in the same state she woke up in.

Chapter 306  

However, she did not care.

She did not like any other man aside from David in this life anyway.

She would just let him look!

Even if David pushed her onto the bed right now, she would not fight back. She might even cooperate with him.

When she noticed David staring at her chest, Selena purposely puffed it out

This jolted David back to his senses.

David looked away in embarrassment and said, "I made you a bowl of noodles. Since you were not awake yet, I brought it upstairs for you. Eat it while it's hot."

"Thank you," Selena thanked after she took the bowl.

"You're welcome. I'll leave now, bye!"

"Bye!"

As she watched David leave, Selena felt a little surprised.

Back then, even though David would cook noodles for her, she would always need to go downstairs to eat them.

This was the first time he had brought the food to her.

This was Celia's special treatment, but she got to experience it today.

Plus, Selena could feel David's change of attitude toward her and the difference in the way he looked at her.

How should she describe it?

He was treating her much better than before.

There was even adoration in his eyes.

'Has he accepted me?'

Selena's eyes lit up.

She did not know it was because David discovered their ending in another timeline, leading to his change in attitude.

—

In the afternoon, David, Celia, and Selena sat in the living room.

This was not Celia's house anymore.

Instead, this was a hilltop villa in Capital City.

Celia's parents were back, so it would be inappropriate to continue staying with them.

Thus, David changed to another accommodation, and Celia and Selena also followed him.

"Celia, Selena, I need to tell you some things," David looked at the two and said.

"Go on, we're listening," Celia answered.

Selena did not say anything, but she was happy hearing how David addressed her.

It had been so long, and she finally got acknowledged by David.

"Now that Earth's Internet has connected to the Internet of the Stella Civilization Galaxy, you can read the news about the Milky Way when you're bored."

"The Milky Way? Is that where the aliens who want to dominate Earth live?" Celia asked curiously.

Selena also looked at David curiously.

"Yes, that's the place. Earth is also a part of the Milky Way, but we're on the edge of it, so we're very far away from the center of the Milky Way," David answered.

"No. Aliens are evil. They want to enslave all earthlings. I won't go and read about them!" Celia retorted.

Clearly, she was still resentful of Pavan trying to enslave all the earthlings.

"Celia, the Milky Way is like Earth that's been enlarged countless times. Not all aliens are bad. Just like on Earth, there are good people, bad people, and also law enforcement. The Milky Way Empire has not recognized Earth, so we're basically unregistered. That's why they dared to take action against us. However, if we register Earth, no one will dare to come to dominate Earth."

"Really?" Celia asked in disbelief.

"Of course! Earth is just a grain of sand in the universe. You should look at the even wider world outside the Earth. You can't miss out on this chance." "Let's go! Let's see what the alien world looks like, Miss Selena."

Celia grabbed Selena and ran upstairs.

She could not wait to go online to see the alien world.

After Celia and Selena left, David immediately contacted Mason.

David told him about the synchronization of the Earth's Internet with the Milky Way's Internet.

At the same time, he hosted a global live broadcast through the system with his mobile phone.

David knew that his words currently carried the most weight on Earth.

Human curiosity could kill the cat.

He needed to explain the synchronization of the Internet to people worldwide to avoid panic.

After all, what happened to Pavan still traumatized the human beings on Earth.

They might think aliens were invading Earth again after seeing so many things concerning matters outside of Earth on the Internet…

Soon, people worldwide who were on the Internet saw David's handsome face on their phones or computer.

David pointed the camera at himself.

First of all, he greeted everyone.

"Hello, everyone! I'm David."

Then, he went straight to the topic, skipping the nonsense.

"I believe everyone has discovered that since last night, there have been various strange news on the Internet."

"Everyone must be wondering what is going on. Now, I am solemnly telling everyone that the news is accurate. The Earth's Internet has connected to the Milky Way's Internet since last night, and they're in sync now."

"That is to say, from now on, even if you are sitting at home, you can learn some basic information about the Milky Way via the Internet."

"The earth is only a drop in the ocean that is the entire universe. The world outside is vast. Our planet is at the very edge of the Milky Way, so you can also think of the Milky Way as Earth that has been enlarged countless times."

"In reality, aliens are also divided into good and bad beings. They also have laws and regulations, so not all aliens are hostile toward Earth. The last incident was just an accident. In the future, everyone can chat with aliens and learn more about them."

"In the future, when you see the news from the Milky Way, there is no need to make a fuss. The Earth is about to enter the interstellar era, and all of us will be witnesses to this. We must train hard; martial artists are the masters of the entire universe. Some powerful martial artists can even traverse the void physically and voyage among the stars. If we want to show Earth without being bullied, we must be strong ourselves."

"Okay, I'll stop here. If you have any questions, you can find them directly on the Internet. The Internet is all–encompassing, I believe it will give you a satisfactory answer. Goodbye!"

After David finished the brief explanation about Internet synchronization, he directly turned off the live broadcast.

'Earth is about to enter the interstellar era?

'Powerful martial artists can traverse the void and voyage among the stars?' —

In an instant, people all over the world went crazy.

Now, David's prestige in the world had reached an unprecedented height.

It was no exaggeration to say that he was like a God to everyone now.  

Hence, no one would doubt the authenticity of what David said just now.

Countless people began to dive headfirst into the online world.

They wanted to understand what the world beyond Earth was like.

David also started looking online for sites where he could buy things.

The most important thing right now was to spend money to improve his strength. The Earth would only be safer after he upgraded to Cosmos Rank.

It did not take long for David to find a shopping site.

After he opened to take a look, David was almost blinded by what he saw.

It was really amazing what was sold on this site.

They had everything from small laser guns and laser cannons to large flying vessels and spaceships.

The website was even selling Pavan's Octagon.

However, it required customization.

A 50% deposit was required first, and the buyer had to wait a year or a half to receive it.

Maybe many people were ordering them, so the manufacturer could not make them in time.

'They're selling heavy weapons and equipment so publicly, and the Milky Way Empire doesn't care, huh?'

David was a little puzzled.

Since the Milky Way Empire was so powerful and governed the entire scope of the Milky Way, they should forbid this, right?

In truth, David had no idea.

Since the humans in the heart of the Milky Way had become incredibly powerful, weapons and equipment were only supplementary. Some of the powerful ones, like David, could easily destroy a planet with their bare hands.

Weapons and equipment were useless to them.

Personal strength was the most important thing here.

Humans were nurtured by science as soon as they were born to stimulate their potential.

Even if the weakest people came to Earth, they would still be number one if you did not consider special cases like David.

So, in this case, the Milky Way did not prohibit the sale of weapons.

Of course, if the weapon's power exceeded a certain limit, ordinary people would not be able to purchase it.

Such as strategic military weapons like the Octagon.

One could only buy it if their combat power of their family's combat power reached a certain level.

David looked at the price and saw that the Octagon was only 200 million Galaxy Dollars.

'Is it so cheap?'

Based on the system, he could only get one lavish point after he spent 100 million.

So, he could only get two f*cking lavish points from buying the Octagon. As for other basic vehicles like spaceships, they would need more than 10 million Galaxy Dollars.

With this price, David felt like he was back on Earth decades ago.

'How many things do I need to buy to break through to Cosmos rank?

Ten billion Galaxy Dollars!

'How can I spend all of that in a short time?'

David tried to open a link to a spaceship.

The spaceship was priced at 18 million Galaxy Dollars.

There was also a series of introductions describing the spaceship.

David did not even look at it before he clicked buy.

Suddenly, a window popped up, asking David to register with his real name. Otherwise, he would not be able to buy the item.

"F*ck!"

David could not hold himself back from cursing.

Now, the Earth was still unregistered, so how could he register with his real name?

If that was the case, did it mean he would not be able to buy anything?

David felt that this was getting serious.

He tried other shopping websites, and the result was still the same.

He could not buy anything.

He even tried to randomly register, but it still did not work.

He could not get past the authentication stage at all.

"Oh no! If I can't buy anything, then I can't earn lavish points.

'If I don't get lavish points, how will I upgrade to another realm?  

'I am back at the same spot again. What should I do now?'

David collapsed on the chair.

He thought he could buy the items from the Milky Way online to squander money.

The Earth's address was hidden by the system anyway, and the system was a remnant of a God Tier Civilization.

Hence, David was not worried about exposing the Earth's location.

He would not be worried no matter how much money he spent.

He even thought that he could quickly upgrade a few ranks.

That way, he would not need to be afraid of anyone anymore.

Just great!

He could not buy anything without registering with his real name. He had money, but he could not spend it.

Chapter 307  

David was depressed for a while.

Then, he started searching online again.

This time, he was looking for information on the Milky Way Empire.

David browsed for a while after he went to the official website for the Milky Way Empire.

Suddenly, he found an online customer service.

He hurriedly clicked on it, and a window popped up.

David tried typing something and sent it over.

✉[Hello!]

Then, he waited anxiously. Soon, the other party replied.

✉[Hello, do you need any help?]

David typed another sentence.

✉[Are you a government staff member of the Milky Way Empire ?]

✉[Yes, this is the online customer service of the Stella Civilization Galaxy of the Milky Way Empire.]

David was excited. Finally, he managed to get in touch with an official staff member of the Milky Way Empire.

✉[I have a question to ask.]

✉[Go ahead.]

✉[How can a living planet on the edge of the Milky Way that has not been registered by the Milky Way Empire be recognized by the Milky Way Empire?]

✉[You mean an indigenous living planet?]

David hated the name, but he still replied.

✉[Yes, an indigenous living planet. How can the Milky Way Empire recognize it?]

✉[Have you discovered an indigenous living planet, or are you someone from that planet?]

✉[I am from this planet.]

✉[In this case, you need to tell us the planet's location and wait for our empire's official personnel to acknowledge it. If everything checks out, there are two options.]

✉[The first choice is we will add the planet into the empire. You don't need to do anything, and you'll become the low–class citizen planet of the empire. You get to enjoy the lowest rights and benefits of the empire, and the empire will also protect you. However, the empire will send someone to live on this planet to govern it.]

✉[On the other hand, for the second choice, since you're from this planet, you can propose buying this planet from the empire. That way, you'll become a high–class citizen planet. Moreover, you'll be the head of that planet, and the empire will not interfere with any operations concerning the planet. Plus, you only need to pay the empire some money every year to enjoy the highest rights and benefits of the empire.]

David's eyes lit up after the explanation.

'I can even buy Earth?

'Even God is helping me!

'I was just wondering how I should spend money.

'I will need about tens or hundreds of billions to buy Earth right?

'Those are all lavish points!

David quickly replied.

✉[Can I buy it without waiting for your people to come to check it? We're at the edge of the Milky Way, and it's a bit far. I can't wait that long.]

✉[If we don't send our people over, we won't be able to confirm if you're telling the truth, and we can't determine the price. We need to appraise the planet according to its value.]

David felt that it might take too long for the Milky Way Empire's staff to come over to confirm their status. An accident might occur while he was waiting for this to take place.

After he thought about it, he replied.

✉[Whether or not it is legitimate doesn't matter, right? Can you just value it with the highest appraisal value? I've worked outside for so many years. While I worked hard to raise my strength and ability, I also saved some money to protect my homeland. I know it's dangerous for a planet that has not been recognized if people with bad intentions were to ever discover us.]

✉[If that's the case, I need to report this to my higher–ups because

I can't make decisions on this. Can I ask what rank you're at now?]

David replied.

✉ [Peak Stellar Rank]

At this moment, he felt that he should not hide it anymore.

After all, the stronger he was, the more respected he would be in this world that valued strength.

Besides, if he could buy Earth, not only would Earth become a high–class citizen planet in the Milky Way Empire, he could break through again and reach Cosmos Rank.

He was already holding back when he said he was at peak Stellar Rank.

On a huge planet in the middle of the Milky Way on the other side of the distant sky.

A young girl was staring in a daze at the screen in front of her.

Her name was Hyacinth Astor, and she was an ordinary staff member of the Milky Way Empire's online service station.

Just now, when she answered a question from a person who claimed to be on the indigenous living planet, she asked what combat power the person was out of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, the other party's answer stunned her.

'Peak Stellar Rank?

'My eyes are not deceiving me, right?

This person from an indigenous living planet is actually a peak Stellar Ranker?

'This must be a fantasy!'

She had been working in the Milky Way Empire for all these years and had  never heard of such a thing.

The Milky Way was so vast, and quite a few indigenous living planets had been discovered.

However, the people on those planets were not even at Satellite Rank.

It was very rare for them to be able to reach Satellite Rank. Hence, a peak Stellar Ranker was even more unheard of.

Moreover, a peak Stellar Ranker could be regarded as one of the strong beings in the entire Milky Way Galaxy. Who would dare to attack this planet when someone like this was on it?

When Hyacinth returned to her senses, she quickly replied to David before contacting her superior.

David did not get a reply from the other party for a long time, so he started to worry again.

However, his worries were obviously superfluous.

A person from an indigenous living planet revealed he had the power of a peak Stellar Ranker.

Therefore, he would deserve the attention of the Milky Way Empire, whether it was true or not.

Hyacinth reported the news to her superiors, and her superiors immediately reported the information to higher– ups of the Milky Way Empire.

David received a reply soon after.

✉[Please wait, I'll report your situation to the higher–ups.]

David did not notice that Hyacinth's reply had become more polite.

To her, a peak Stellar Ranker was already considered a big shot.

Even though many powerful people existed in the Milky Way Empire, Hyacinth was just an average staff member.

Her higher–ups had just entered Planet Rank, so she changed the way she replied to David.

The strong would be respected no matter where they went.

David waited for a while before he got a reply.

✉[Hello, do you want to buy your own planet?]

David replied with great joy.

✉[Yes! Are you the one who can call the shots in the Milky Way Empire?]

✉[Yes, I am. If you want to buy your planet according to the information you just gave, you will need 30 billion Galaxy Dollars, and you need to tell us the exact location of the planet. We need to mark the newly registered planet on the galaxy map. Only then can it be recognized by the empire.]

David did not want to reveal the location of the Earth as he felt that the Earth would be endangered if he did.

However, it seemed that he had to reveal it no matter what now.  

He had no choice but to reply.

✉[Alright, we've already connected to the Milky Way's Internet, so you should be able to directly confirm my location, right?]

✉[You've already connected to the Milky Way's internet? How is this possible? Usually, after the registration is completed, we will send people to build the base before you can connect to the Milky Way's Internet.]

✉[It's a secret! Can I not answer?]

✉[Of course. It'll be easier this way. We just need to determine your location, extract your basic information via your Internet, and then you can transfer the money to  the empire's account.]

✉[Alright.]

After David replied, he turned on the system and stopped hiding Earth's location.

✉[Lastly, may I be so presumptuous as to ask if you have really reached the peak Stellar Rank?]

✉[Yes, it's true.]

✉[Very well, I'll finish the formalities for you soon.]

After David deactivated the hide function of the system, the Milky Way Empire Network Supervision Department quickly confirmed Earth's location.

They were also surprised to see on the galaxy map how far Earth was from the heart of the Milky Way.

They now somewhat believed that David was a peak Stellar Ranker.

After all, it was impossible for him to connect to such a distant network without enormous financial and material resources.

The Milky Way Empire Network Supervision Department would monitor the entire Milky Way network, but they did not find out when David connected the two.

That was kind of scary.

They were eager to learn the secrets of Earth.

They wanted to find out how the Earth connected to the Milky Way network from Earth, and they also wanted to know whether David was a peak Stellar Ranker.

After all, a person from an indigenous living planet that could rise to peak Stellar Rank was very valuable.

The Milky Way Empire would definitely not let this talent go.

However, they only obtained some superficial information that David intentionally released.

He did not want the Milky Way Empire to thoroughly understand everything about Earth, especially the news about Pavan's arrival and detainment on Earth as well as everything about himself.

Hence, the system blocked the news surrounding him and Pavan.

The product of a God Tier Civilization was beyond the , imagination of a level 3 civilization.

The Milky Way Empire Network Supervision Department could not find any clues about this at all.

However, the more mysterious David was, the more attention the Milky Way Empire would pay to him.

Soon, Earth was registered and listed on the Milky Way Empire's galaxy map. It was now a high–class citizen planet of the Milky Way Empire.

David also transferred 30 billion Galaxy Dollars directly to the account of the Milky Way Empire.

✦Transaction complete.✦

From now on, David was the head of Earth, and Earth was under the protection of the Milky Way Empire.

Even if the Tuffin family arrived here, they would not dare to do anything to Earth since it was now a high–class citizen planet.

The status of an indigenous living planet and a high–class citizen planet of the Milky Way Empire was completely different.

There were [+] buttons on his Body, Mind, Combat Skills, and Skills column, which meant he could upgrade them now.

If he added lavish points to Body, he would have another breakthrough and rise straight to Cosmos Rank.

David would be unbeatable even in the heart of the Milky Way when he reached this stage.

He immediately clicked the [+] button behind Body.

A window popped out.

✦✦[Are you sure you want to upgrade Body? This upgrade will cost 100 lavish points.]

Of course, David confirmed.

Then, David slowly felt the changes in his body.

Half an hour later, David looked at the system again.

✥✥✥✥

[Host: David Lidell ]

[Balance: 9999997000000000 Galaxy Dollars ]

[Body: Cosmos level 1 (+)]

[Mind: Stellar level 10 (+) ]

[Combat: beginner Cosmos Rank ]

[Combat Skills: Void Punch (Entry Level +), Air Crushing Slap ( Entry

Level+), Evil–Splitting Sword Technique (Entry Level+) ]

[Skills: Ancient Traditional Medicine (Expert+)]

[Lavish Points: 200 ]

✥✥✥✥

Chapter 308

200 lavish points remained.

David spent 90 lavish points to raise his Body to Cosmos level 10.

Then, he used another 100 lavish points to upgrade his Mind power to Cosmos level 1.

After that, he continued to spend the last 10 lavish points spent on his Mind power.

David's Body soon reached Cosmos level 10, and his Mind power reached Cosmos level 2.

Moreover, his combat also reached peak Cosmos Rank.

However, he would need a thousand lavish points for the next breakthrough

This was a bit of a hassle.

The best way to do this was to buy all the planets that the old man mentioned.

After this, he would get another massive surge of lavish points.

He could only look for them after the Earth was safe.

A peak Cosmos Ranker could easily defeat the Tuffin family.

If they dared to come, David would teach them a memorable lesson.

He would not hold back against anyone who dared to have any ideas about Earth.
