Chapter 232 Wulong Star Region
"How many?!"
King Longjue couldn't help but repeat, "Thirty-three thousand units? The corpses of peak-level World Lord-level Zerg?"
"That's right." Chen Yuan nodded affirmatively.
Seeing that the other party's expression was serious and not like he was joking, King Longjue came to his senses and shook his head with a wry smile: "Your Highness has really given me a big problem."
"Of course, it's not that I'm unwilling to help Your Highness with this favor."
After a pause, King Longjue continued, "Your Highness may not be aware, but although I am one of the five heads of the Wulong Star Region,
But the actual privileges weren't that high.
"With my current approval authority, I can directly approve transactions up to one million Mixed Yuan Units, but that's already the limit."
"And the more than 30,000 corpses Your Highness needs are worth at least several hundred million Chaos Units." He shook his head helplessly as he spoke: "The amount involved is too large, and it must be jointly approved by the five of us in charge."
"I know that, of course."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pay for the Zerg corpses in full, and everything will be done according to the proper procedures."
"The main reason for contacting King Longjue this time is to give you a heads-up so that you can be prepared."
He continued, "I am already on my way to the Wulong Star Region and will arrive within six months. Therefore, I hope that King Longjue can complete the review process ahead of schedule so that I can pick up the goods directly upon arrival, which will save time."
"I see, that makes things easier."
King Longjue visibly relaxed and said with a smile, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will complete all the approval procedures before your arrival and will not delay your time."
"Um."
Chen Yuan nodded, then suddenly said, "Do I need to pay a deposit? After all, this involves a transaction of several hundred million Chaos Units. I haven't even arrived yet. It might not be easy for King Longjue to persuade the other responsible persons to approve it in advance, right?"
"A deposit? Absolutely not." King Longjue waved his hands repeatedly and laughed, "Your Highness's reputation is enough of a guarantee. Rest assured, I will persuade the others."
"Very well." Chen Yuan stood up to take his leave. "I'll leave this matter to King Longjue. I await your good news."
"Your Highness, please take care."
King Longjue rose to see him off, and after Chen Yuan's figure disappeared, he sat back down, grabbed some dishes from the table and stuffed them into his mouth, muttering as he ate, "Thirty-three thousand units? This prince is really generous; he could easily raise a million-strong army of kings."
A moment later, King Longjue, having finished his meal, left the restaurant and began contacting other officials in the Wulong Star Region to discuss the matter.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuan returned to his manor in reality and sent a telepathic message to Li Shan: "Li Shan, come with me for a bit. I need to go to the Wulong Star Region to buy some things."
"OK."
Li Shan quickly appeared and, seeing that Chen Yuan had no guards, asked, "Junior Uncle, should I recall the guards?"
"No need, we just gave them a day off, let them rest well."
Chen Yuan shook his head. "You can come with me."
Actually, if it weren't for company regulations, he wouldn't even want to bring Li Shan along, since with his current strength, Li Shan couldn't protect him at all.
But it's good to have him with me, at least he won't have to handle some trivial matters himself.
Soon, the two boarded the Shiyuan Palace and left the Imperial Capital Star's territory, quickly entering the Dark Universe and flying towards the Wulong Star Region.
This was Li Shan's first time riding in Chen Yuan's spaceship. He looked around curiously, but because Chen Yuan had disguised himself beforehand, he couldn't see anything and just thought it was a well-equipped F-class spaceship.
So Li Shan quickly stopped paying attention to the spaceship and asked another question: "What is Junior Uncle going to the Wulong Star Region for?"
I remember that was one of the nine garbage star systems, filled with all sorts of debris transported back from extraterrestrial battlefields.
He had been pondering this question for a long time, unable to understand Chen Yuan's purpose, and finally couldn't help but ask it.
Chen Yuan smiled and didn't intend to hide the fact that he had enslaved the Zerg Queen. He said directly, "Because I have enslaved several Zerg hives, I want to go to the Wulong Star Region to purchase some Zerg host cells to cultivate hives."
"Enslaving the Zerg hive?!" Li Shan's expression was clearly one of utter shock. "And not just one?"
"Yes, I bought three World Lord-level Mother Nests back then, and enslaved them all."
Upon hearing this answer, Li Shan was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "As expected of Junior Uncle, even a Soul Master at the Marquis level might not be able to enslave a World Lord-level Zerg mother hive, let alone enslave three at once."
"That's not surprising. Soul strength and willpower are my forte," Chen Yuan said matter-of-factly. "Plus, with the enslavement techniques recorded in the 'Illusionary Truth Codex,' enslaving a few World Lord-level mother nests is a piece of cake."
Li Shan nodded. Indeed, it was precisely because of this talent that his junior uncle was accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Youhou. So what if he enslaved a Zerg mother nest?
Just thinking about his past failure to enslave the Zerg hive, Li Shan couldn't help but sigh at how vast the differences between people could be.
What he, a barely-conquered immortal, couldn't do, his junior uncle, a mere domain lord, accomplished with ease, and three times at that.
It can only be said that none of those who can be accepted as disciples by the Lord of the Universe are simple.
After chatting for a while, Chen Yuan designated an area within the Shiyuan Hall as Li Shan's residence. He also created an independent space for himself, which was kept at 150 times the speed of time for his cultivation.
The Wulong Starfield is not close to the Rongshan Universe Kingdom, but under Ireil's control, the Shiyuan Palace traveled through the dark universe at nearly a hundred times the speed of light, taking only half a year from departure to arrival at its destination, perfectly matching the agreed time.
When the spaceship left the dark universe, it was not far from the core management area of the Wulong Starfield. Through the external simulation, the two could even see the huge palace complex floating in the void in the distance.
"We've arrived already?" Li Shan rubbed his eyes, confirming that this was indeed the Wulong Star Region, and was once again shocked: "It only took half a year to fly here from Rongshan Universe Kingdom? Even an F9-class spaceship would take more than a year to fly here."
"Could it be that Junior Uncle's spaceship is actually G-class?"
Chen Yuan smiled but remained silent on the matter. It was best not to make a fuss about the treasure-level flying palace, especially since it was a top-tier treasure, which was worth more than ordinary treasures and was enough to drive the cosmic venerables crazy.
He didn't want to attract the attention of the Universe Venerable, so he naturally wouldn't explain himself and let Li Shan guess for himself.
Seeing that his junior uncle remained silent, Li Shan assumed that he had tacitly agreed, and was astonished for a long time.
Because those who can own a G-class spaceship are at least at the peak of the King level, and even some cosmic venerables' vehicles are only at this level.
Twenty minutes later, the Shiyuan Palace finally approached the distant palace complex. Then, Ireil sent a signal: "This is Prince Chen Yuan's spaceship. His Highness has already made an appointment with King Longjue."
Sure enough, after the signal was sent, the spaceship did not encounter any interception from the palace's security system and successfully arrived at the main entrance of the palace complex.
The two then left the spaceship. Chen Yuanyi put away the Shiyuan Palace and waited with Li Shan at the palace gate.
Not long after, accompanied by a rumbling sound, the palace gates slowly opened, and a group of people walked out.
The leader had dark red skin and blood-red pupils; he was none other than King Longjue, whom Chen Yuan had seen in the virtual universe.
"Haha, His Highness Chen Yuan is indeed punctual. He said six months and he really did deliver on his promise."
Upon seeing Chen Yuan, King Longjue immediately greeted him warmly, "Those people said Your Highness might not come. Hmph, it's all thanks to my insistence, otherwise Your Highness's important matter would have been delayed."
"Oh?" Chen Yuan asked curiously, "Did something go wrong during the review process?"
"It's nothing, just a small matter, I've already taken care of it."
King Longjue waved his hand, "Your Highness, please come with me. Let's go inside and talk in detail."
"OK."
Then, surrounded by a group of black-armored guards, Chen Yuan and his companions entered the palace.
