"Wang Xu, try so of the Tai Long Palace’s food," the Sovereign said with a smile.
In the National Hall, the Sovereign stood at the top of the great hall, with two tables set below, filled with delicious dishes and delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Just looking at it was enough to make one’s mouth water. Although Wang Xu wasn’t picky about food, he couldn’t resist the temptation of this cuisine. Taking a big bite, he imdiately felt an unparalleled delicate flavor lt in his mouth, nodding in surprise and delight.
"Hahaha..." The Sovereign was quite pleased. "You have done a great service for Tai Long; seeing you satisfied brings great joy."
The three of them ate while chatting. The current Sovereign no longer had that oppressive aura from before; instead, he resembled a kind, friendly elder, having a pleasant conversation with Wang Xu.
"Wang Xu, you’ve accomplished a great deed this ti, and you deserve a reward. Tell , what kind of reward do you wish for?" the Sovereign asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I have indeed thought about this." Wang Xu replied.
"Co, tell ," the Sovereign was curious to know what soone as talented and powerful as a Heaven-Reaching Pavilion disciple like Wang Xu would desire.
"My holand is called Earth, located in a remote, inconspicuous corner of Tai Long," Wang Xu said. "My holand is weak, and my people are too frail, almost exterminated by cosmic tribes."
"Therefore, I hope the Sovereign can offer protection to my holand," Wang Xu stated bluntly.
The rewards in the National Hall had been ntioned by Yin Gu on the way here. After much deliberation, Secret Technique, War Soldier, Imperial Armor, Ancient dicine, Ancient Ore, etc., were not necessary for Wang Xu. Most important of all was Earth, his holand.
The protection of the Cosmic Country was crucial for Wang Xu.
Although Earth now had the protection of the Ninefold Celestial God Array and a guardian comparable to the Celestial God Realm like Senior Brother Lu, there was always the fear of that one-in-a-million chance sothing could go wrong. Wang Xu felt it was worth any price to safeguard Earth fully.
"You need not say it; I’ve already arranged this," the Sovereign said. "You are a subject of the Tai Long Cosmic Country; protecting your people is only right, and this doesn’t count as your reward. Please propose another."
Yin Gu, standing by, said, "Wang Xu, my journey to your holand was firstly to invite you to the National Hall and secondly to take care of the protection for your people. Did you not carefully examine the token I handed to you?"
Wang Xu was taken aback. Yin Gu did indeed give him a token when on Earth, only instructing Wang Xu to place it outside Earth without explaining its true significance.
Seeing Wang Xu’s bewildered expression, Yin Gu couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. "It seems you really know nothing about the cosmos."
"That token is the Cosmic Country’s ’Sanctuary Order.’ When hung above a star, it signifies that the star behind is protected by the Cosmic Country. Anyone who dares ddle with it would be seen as challenging the Cosmic Country. Now, do you understand?"
Wang Xu suddenly realized, smiling awkwardly.
Indeed, as a disciple of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion destined to beco a formidable force, the Cosmic Country had no reason to ignore such talent.
If Wang Xu hadn’t hidden his identity on the battlefield, the National Hall wouldn’t have known that Tai Long had a disciple of Heaven-Reaching Pavilion until Yin Gu reported it. This led them to dispatch Yin Gu to Earth to invite Wang Xu without delay.
"A reward..." For a mont, Wang Xu couldn’t think of anything he wanted.
Secret Technique, he already possessed the Endless Inheritance, far surpassing Secret Techniques.
War Soldier, his White Jade Long Saber, enhanced to Extre Divine Soldiers through War Soldier incubation, suited Wang Xu perfectly.
Items like Ancient dicine and Ancient Ore were of no use to Wang Xu whatsoever... Hence, voicing his reward request was quite challenging.
"I’ve got it." Suddenly, Wang Xu thought of a suitable reward.
"Sovereign, could I be gifted a Palace Level warship?" Wang Xu asked.
"A Palace Level warship?" The Sovereign listened and gave a smile, "Is that the reward you wish for?"
"Yes, I desire a Palace Level warship," Wang Xu confird.
"Very well, since you wish for a Palace Level warship, I’ll grant it to you." With a wave of the hand, a shining Space Ring fell into Wang Xu’s hands. Examining it closely, Wang Xu found inside a gigantic golden warship, in the style of Tai Long. Fortunately, the bottom of the warship wasn’t inscribed with the words ’Tai Long’; otherwise, Wang Xu wouldn’t dare to bring it out.
When venturing through the cosmos, he would inevitably pass through many Cosmic Countries. If the bottom of his warship clearly bore the words ’Tai Long’ and was seen by rival Cosmic Countries of Tai Long, they would imdiately launch a pursuit.
Between forces, there is no reconciliation.
Wang Xu didn’t want to be traveling through the cosmos one day only to be suddenly besieged by a group of strong foes who annihilate him inexplicably.
"Thank you, Sovereign," Wang Xu said happily.
The Sovereign nodded, looking at Wang Xu with a gaze full of appreciation.
......
Dong~~~~Dong~~~~~Dong~~~~~~
As Wang Xu and the others were having an enjoyable conversation, a serene bell sound ca. The Sovereign slightly adjusted his expression and said, "The ti to comnce the ceremony has co. Wang Xu, for now, take a seat to the side. We will discuss further after the departure from the hall."
Wang Xu nodded and moved to a corner of the great hall.
At the sa ti, he saw figures orderly making their way from outside the hall.
These people were evidently the imperial relatives of Tai Long; so were of powerful realms, so wielded imnse authority, while others possessed exceptional wisdom. Each wore purple robes with golden accents, featuring a Five-clawed Golden Dragon emblem on their chest and a dragon-shaped crown on their heads, akin to a miniature version of the Sovereign’s crown.
"Salute the Sovereign!"
Everyone kneeled on one knee, bowing their heads and shouting reverently.
"Speak." The Sovereign resud a dignified and solemn deanor, his voice akin to thunder, inadvertently compelling worship and submission.
"Sovereign, I have matters to report."
A handso man with ornate patterns on his face stepped forward, "In the ’Xifeng Star Domain’, ’Pangbei Star Domain’, and ’Heshe Star Domain’, there are thieves causing havoc. These thieves, led by soone from the Mixed Universe Realm, have already brought catastrophe to over a thousand tribes. The Domain Masters of the three major Star Domains are unable to handle them and can only jointly report the situation, hoping the Sovereign will issue a decree to severely punish these thieves."
"In Tai Long’s territory, there are such audacious people who do not see Tai Long in their eyes?" The Sovereign frowned.
Ordinary cosmic thieves who plunder stars and commit murder are generally ignored, as such incidents occur every mont in the cosmos... However, if thieves beco audacious enough to attack public figures and report to the National Hall, the severity escalates considerably, regarded as a challenge to the Cosmic Country’s dignity, with consequences that are evident.
The Sovereign waved a hand, and a Mirror Flower Water Curtain appeared, reflecting a vast starry sky, gradually zooming in until it focused on a void within the Heshe Star Domain.
At this ti, the void echoed with the sounds of battle and a fierce war erupted, on one side led by a Mixed Universe Realm cosmic thieves’ legion, on the other side, the Heshe Star Domain’s guard army. Beams of light splattered, and waves of energy rippled out, turning surrounding stars into rubble.
This was not a border skirmish; both sides had unleashed their strongest forces, determined to annihilate the other.
The Domain Master of Heshe Star Domain was also of the Mixed Universe Realm, yet found himself outmatched against the Mixed Universe Realm thieves, who evidently ca prepared and showed no fear.
The war had been raging for a long ti, the thieves’ battle spirit only growing stronger, and the Heshe Star Domain’s guard army was unable to hold on.
Wang Xu also witnessed this scene, fearing that it wouldn’t be long before the Heshe Star Domain would be defeated.
"Hmph!" The Sovereign snorted coldly, his authoritative voice spreading out, and Wang Xu could sense the Sovereign’s anger.
Whoosh!
The Sovereign extended a large hand directly through the Mirror Flower Water Curtain, as if traversing to another space-ti, causing Wang Xu’s pupils to contract.
This was space-ti teleportation, a technique only cosmic warships could utilize, yet the Sovereign perford it with his body.
On the battlefield of the Heshe Star Domain.
"Haha... Heshe, you’re finished. You’re no match for , surrender! If you continue to resist, your guard army will be annihilated completely!" The Mixed Universe Realm thief with three heads and six arms, glowing with golden light, raised his hand, light flow swirling, laws captivating, suppressing the Heshe Domain Master on the other side, leaving no room for counterattack.
The Heshe Domain Master, though unwilling, had to admit this person was too powerful. Although he was also at the ’Initial Chaos Universe Realm’, his strength was nearly at the ’Void Chaos Realm’, firmly above him.
The Heshe Domain Master had once allied with the Xifeng and Pangbei Domain Masters to form a united guard army of the three major Star Domains, planning to encircle him. However, word sohow leaked, and he escaped. They believed the matter was over, yet he not only returned but also recruited many White Hole Level powerhouses, swiftly resolving the Pangbei Star Domain, then charging into the Xifeng Star Domain. By the ti the Heshe Domain Master reacted, the enemy was already at the gates.
The Heshe Domain Master glanced at the battlefield, with the guard army in retreat, the war nearly lost.
Even so, the Heshe Domain Master couldn’t surrender, as doing so would an the thieves would pillage the Star Domain, bringing untold suffering, and no one would be able to stop them then.
Rumble~
Suddenly, a sound like a thunderbolt ca from the void, causing everyone to look upwards, thinking they were mistaken.
But soon, a majestic golden hand rolled from the starry sky above. When the Heshe Domain Master saw this hand, he excitedly shouted, "The Sovereign! The Sovereign has intervened!"
The Mixed Universe Realm thief, terror-stricken, looked at the golden hand, his previously smug and arrogant face frozen instantly, "Impossible, I only plundered stars, how could it alert the Sovereign? It’s over... I’m finished."
The Mixed Universe Realm thief frantically fled, attempting to escape this strike.
But the Heshe Domain Master understood that with the Sovereign’s intervention, none below the Celestial God Realm could escape his grasp.
For no other reason than the fact that this was Tai Long Cosmic Country!
Rumble!
"No!!!!"
The golden hand crashed down, the desperate shriek of the Mixed Universe Realm thief resounded, his golden three-headed six-ard form disintegrating piece by piece, crumbling and dissipating. Likewise, all the participating thieves turned to ash under the strike of this golden hand.
"Hiss..."
In the corner, Wang Xu witnessed this scene through the Mirror Flower Water Curtain, his hair standing on end, gasping in shock. (To be continued.
