Chapter 231 Shameless Scoundrel
In the dark universe, the Allah spaceship is flying.
Inside the control room, Suk sat alone, sipping his wine.
Holding the glass, the golden liquid inside reflected a mesmerizing glow under the light.
Suk's eyes were thoughtful.
This trip to the Zhaiyu star system in the Jialan star region will take half a year.
Casually touching the ring, the Gulei statue that had been smuggled away from Gulei Star was now lying quietly in the ring's space.
When it returns to Gulei Star, it will be returned to its rightful owner.
Suk is always very meticulous in his work.
Six months later.
A dark purple, sword-shaped spaceship passed through a wormhole and appeared in another vast expanse of space, where it could see the distant Heng star system that had been running alone in the universe for thousands of years.
Looking at the purplish-blue planet with a diameter of nearly 5 kilometers displayed in the virtual environment outside the control room, Suk's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence.
Four hundred years ago, when their spaceship was flying in the dark universe, they encountered space pirates and had no choice but to forcibly leave the dark universe and escape to an unfamiliar star field. Only then did they discover the wormhole leading to this area. At that time, the entire spaceship did not have a single cosmic-level creature, and he was only at the fourth or fifth level of the planetary level, which was extremely weak in his eyes now.
Even after discovering this planet, they initially only dared to explore it cautiously, as if walking on thin ice.
"It's a pity I promised the mysterious being in the darkness that I wouldn't reveal what's going on here, otherwise I could have asked Senior Brother Fan Hai for some advice," Su Ke thought to himself.
Once he approached the planet, he left the spaceship, stored it away, and then soared into the sky towards the planet. The maximum speed of a Domain Lord-level being in the universe can reach 15000 kilometers per second!
Before long, Suk entered the planet's atmosphere.
In addition to the vast ocean, the planet Gulei also has three continents and numerous islands, inhabited by many different races.
The legendary "Holy Mountain City" is located inside the "Ancient Thunder Mountain", the largest mountain in the central part of the continent. The surrounding area is inhabited by a large number of ferocious beasts, making it the most dangerous place on the entire continent.
Amidst the dense clouds and flashing lightning, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, landing on a mountain tens of thousands of meters high. This altitude and distance... even the birds and beasts that live in the Ancient Thunder Mountain region year-round dare not fly there rashly, for they are easily struck by the terrifying lightning! Transcendent beings would surely die! Even saints would be injured! But this figure completely ignored the surrounding thundercloud environment and landed directly.
"Boom!" A thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck the figure from the black thundercloud. Under the laws of physics, at a speed close to that of light, no one could dodge it. A dazzling light flashed and completely engulfed the figure.
"He really got struck by lightning?" After the bright light dissipated, the figure of the young man in black battle armor was revealed. He was completely unharmed, with a strange look on his face and traces of residual electricity still flickering on his body.
Suk looked up at the rolling black clouds and the dense, crisscrossing lightning. "It seems flying high really is dangerous."
However, since even a star-level being cannot be killed by the lightning of nature, he, as a ninth-level domain lord, would naturally not be injured at all.
Suk arrived at the entrance of the huge cave at the foot of the mountain, which was open to anyone without any concealment or precautions, and flew straight in.
At the end of the passage lies a vast underground space, where a magnificent city stands.
Suk blinked, but compared to the first time they met, something seemed to be missing...
Suk remembered that the statue of Emperor Gure, which was there for people to admire, was currently in his ring.
Well, then it's alright.
Looking towards the city, one could vaguely see figures moving about. This ancient city remained as peaceful and serene as ever, as if it could last forever, almost exactly the same as when Suk first saw it.
Suk's telekinetic power instantly spread out, enveloping the entire city and directly probing it.
"It seems nothing has changed here." Suk smiled slightly.
When Suk and his group left, they weren't completely indifferent. They left a message for the newly born Emperor Hail in the palace, saying he was going out to explore the stars and would return when he had time. Of course, the exact time was uncertain—it could be ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years… in any case, a cosmic-level being has a lifespan of one hundred thousand years. However, as long as there was no confirmed news of Emperor Hail's death, no party on the entire planet Gulei dared to act rashly. After all, the power of an emperor was not to be underestimated; under the emperor's authority, at least one hundred thousand years of peace could be maintained on the entire planet. This was the last thing Suk did for the races of this planet before he left.
Of course, he didn't mention a word about taking the statue with him. Let them guess. Even if they guessed it, so what? Could they go to the stars and ask the Emperor for it?
The most magnificent and eye-catching structure in Holy Mountain City is the Emperor's Palace, the most prestigious place in the world, reserved exclusively for the Supreme Emperor, occupying a full third of the city's area. Its construction is ingenious, with every detail exquisitely beautiful.
In the past, there were many servants and beautiful women, but the emperor suddenly left hundreds of years ago, and this place has become cold and desolate.
In Suk's memory, various tribes had once sent him a large number of stunningly beautiful women with ulterior motives, but of course, he could no longer see them now.
Suk had no attachment to the palace he once lived in. There were many places in the universe that were taller and more magnificent than this. Even a manor in Liuyun City was much larger than this. His gaze swept across the palace and landed on the city lord's mansion next to the Great Emperor's Palace. He saw some old acquaintances, including the old man in golden robes with a bald head, the city lord of Gulei City, a ninth-level Hengxing being, who was instructing a beautiful silver-robed girl. The silver-robed girl was also a Hengxing being, but only a third-level Hengxing being. Suk had a vague sense of déjà vu, as if he had met her before. What was her name again?
"Grandpa, I understand," the silver-robed girl said happily.
Lord Gu Lei looked pleased: "Hmm, my dear granddaughter, you've cultivated to the Saint level in two hundred years. In the history of our Gu Lei family, you have exceptional talent and have a good chance of reaching the peak of the Saint level. Alas, what a pity..." He shook his head, shushed, and looked towards the square outside, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
The girl in the silver robe asked cautiously, "Grandpa, are you thinking about that ancestral statue again?"
The Lord of Gulei City sighed, "Back then, that new emperor suddenly disappeared without a word, leaving only a message before vanishing without a trace. He even took our ancestral statue with him. What if he doesn't return? Our ancestral statue will..." Whenever he thought of this, his heart clenched painfully. There had been wicked emperors throughout history, but this was the first to directly steal the statue of Emperor Gulei!
"That emperor is a shameless scoundrel!" the silver-robed girl exclaimed angrily. "I've never seen such a tasteless person! He actually stole our family's statue! It's outrageous!"
Suk, who was hiding in the shadows, heard these words and a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his face.
Regardless of the circumstances, he certainly didn't do a very decent job back then.
"Don't worry, the statue will be returned to you, but not now." Suk's gaze drifted towards a stone gate in a certain direction of the city.
He murmured.
