Solar Territory, Mars.

A sub-light speed civilian spacecraft was preparing to land at Olympus Base City on Mars.

Passengers were lining up to disembark, and this was the third batch of immigrants to Olympus.

At present, the atmospheric transformation of Mars has been completed. In this era of high technology, everything is easy with money, and the technology for producing oxygen from the atmosphere is already very mature.

With the air, artificial rain clouds have formed a benign cycle on Mars after a year of continuous operation.

With the water, artificial lakes began to form on the surface, and rivers and mountain springs gradually appeared.

Since Mars had never been stepped on by humans, its natural environment was very good.

All government agencies on Earth have been disbanded, and the entire Solar Territory’s affairs are managed by Lin Zhen’s office. Now, Earth has become the core of the Solar Territory.

The several major Base Cities on Earth are already overcrowded, so immigration is a necessity.

During this period, there were two small groups of interstellar pirates who attempted to attack the Solar Territory, but as soon as they entered the range of the Solar System, they were immediately detected by the interstellar radar, and the orbital cannon was launched, reducing their small fleet to rubble with just a few shots.

After these two incidents, the people of the Solar Territory realized the strength of the Solar System where their Lord resided, and many people began to choose to immigrate to the Solar System.

Currently, there are 80 million immigrants from Earth, and the other planets in the Solar Territory have also opened up shipping routes, and there are 30 million people of other races.

Olympus Base City, which borders the tallest mountain in the solar system, Mount Olympus, has become the most prosperous area.

Millions of people live here, and every day people from other races arrive by small spacecraft, and the population is increasing daily.

The city’s land within the planned area has been expanded repeatedly, and land prices are rising rapidly.

It is said that the Earth’s office has already proposed plans to establish a second Base City on Mars, and the development of Jupiter has also been put on the agenda.

The only shortage now is the funding issue.

Although the tax revenues from several large planets in the Solar Territory are considerable, there are just too many places where money is needed, and some are not adequate.

Despite this, people are still full of hope for the future of the Solar Territory because they have a powerful lord, and they believe that when their lord returns, the Solar Territory will rise to a higher level.

“Big brother! Are we almost to your territory?”

The beautiful little elves lay beside Lin Zhen, their big eyes looking out the window. The outside world was a parallel universe space with black and white grid-like patterns that retreated and crisscrossed constantly. This sight was interesting for a while, but it became boring after a long time; however, Ling’er enjoyed watching it tirelessly.

“Yes, we’ll be there soon. In twenty minutes, we’ll enter the Solar System. Then, we’ll leave the light-speed state, and we won’t have to watch this monotonous parallel universe anymore.”

“I can’t wait to see big brother’s home, my sister-in-law, and my two little nephews.”

Longing appeared in Lin Zhen’s eyes as well. To give his family a surprise, he hadn’t informed them about his return yet.

As for the children, it was his estimate that since he was so wise and invincible, and his two wives were outstanding, it wouldn’t be excessive for them to give birth to two sons for him.

Lin Zhen’s spiritual power entered his Space Ring, checking the gains he had made in the World Stone.

Before entering the underground temple, Lin Zhen had about ten million Cosmic Crystals.

In the underground temple, Lin Zhen killed countless people and robbed over a thousand Space Rings.

After collecting all those rings, he gained another 15 million Cosmic Crystals, while the rest of the miscellaneous items really didn’t catch Lin Zhen’s eye.

Although he wasn’t impressed, there were actually quite a few artifacts and top-quality sacred artifacts in the items.

He picked some good and practical artifacts as gifts for his family, and the rest was left unattended.

There were also some cultivation methods, but Lin Zhen hadn’t carefully studied them because he didn’t want to learn the skills of those he could kill with a single move.

The most important thing was the Cosmic Crystals.

When the Cosmic Crystal giant stone collapsed, Lin Zhen didn’t steal few, and he gained about hundreds of millions of Cosmic Crystals.

However, that was nothing compared to the last moment when the giant stone collapsed. Lin Zhen released a Black Hole Storm, and no one saw clearly how much he gained in that instant.

Now with time to sort it out, Lin Zhen knew how much he had gained at the last moment.

With one Black Hole Storm, he devoured nearly one-third of the collapsing Cosmic Crystals!

According to Chris’s estimate, Lin Zhen devoured Cosmic Crystals worth about 450 billion at the last moment!

This was a huge fortune, and even with Lin Zhen’s determination, he couldn’t help but be overwhelmed when the numbers were calculated.

It was true that wealth is sought in danger. After Chris’s calculations, using these Cosmic Crystals to purchase Fine Gold would be enough for Lin Zhen to upgrade to Planet Level 8.

With another 50 billion, he could upgrade to Level 9!

However, to upgrade to the Constant Star Stage, he was still far away, needing another 500 billion.

Because of this, Lin Zhen specifically stayed on Hills Star for a day, purchasing enough Cosmic Crystals through the Dimensional Universe Company’s staff to upgrade to Planet Level 8.

Now, there were still about two hundred billion cosmic crystals in his Dark Star Space.

Lin Zhen took out a large cosmic crystal, sparkling and translucent, and showed it to Ling’er: “Ling’er, do you think this thing is beautiful? How about I make you a necklace with this.”

Ling’er glanced at it and nodded slightly: “It’s very beautiful, but I don’t particularly like jewelry.”

Lin Zhen was a bit frustrated and said, “Ling’er, do you know how much this thing is worth?”

“How much?”

“This piece alone has more than 100,000 cosmic crystals, worth 100 billion Kirin Coins, and if you exchange it for Sanjiang coins, that’s 100 trillion.”

“Oh….”

Lin Zhen was speechless, Ling’er was an elf who inherently liked plants and nature. She never had any interest in wealth, and 100 trillion Sanjiang coins in her eyes were just a huge number, without much concept behind it.

In this aspect, she was somewhat similar to Yue’er. Lin Zhen didn’t know if this was good or bad.

At this moment, Ling’er suddenly turned around: “Brother, can you give me some money?”

“Sure! Tell me how much you need, and I won’t refuse as long as you name the amount.” Lin Zhen immediately felt useful.

“Ten thousand should be enough, I want it in the currency of your hometown. I plan to buy some gifts for uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, and nephew.”

Lin Zhen lowered his head without any words and looked through the banknote pile in his Dark Star Space.

He had stored more than a thousand billion Kirin Coins, a billion of each high-level Universe Country’s currency, and more than 500 billion from various Space Rings. He had several trillions of currency from intermediate Universe Countries, but the most invaluable and lowest currency was from the initial Universe Country like the Tianhe Empire.

Unable to find a single Earth banknote, Lin Zhen finally took out a stack of Tianhe Empire currency and handed it to Ling’er: “This, it’s now a common currency in my territory, with a purchasing power a thousand times stronger than Earth’s currency.”

Ling’er took the 100,000 Tianhe coins and stored them in her Space Ring, then quietly stayed there.

“Beep! Master, the spacecraft has entered Aurora Planet and is about to exit the parallel universe.”

Lin Zhen quickly took his seat, the spacecraft slowed down to sub-light speed, left the parallel universe, and then entered Mount Olympus through a wormhole.

Upon entering Mount Olympus, they were immediately detected by the Star System Radar System.

A beam of light scanned them, and a surprised voice came from the communication system.

“My Lord, you’re back!”

The one speaking was pirate Ronnie, and it so happened that today was his turn to monitor the parallel universe.

“Ha ha, Ronnie, it’s been more than a year. How have you been?”

“Very good, very good, it’s just that we’ve missed you a bit since it’s been a long time without seeing you.”

“Ha ha! You guys have been working hard too. Let me handle things back on Earth first, and then I’ll give you your freedom.”

With Lin Zhen’s current financial and physical strength, it would be an easy task to assemble a powerful Constant Star army, but he wouldn’t neglect his old friends and brothers with weaker strength just because of that. These pirates had been here for a long time, and it was about time they were given their freedom.

“Thank you, Master!” Ronnie’s voice was excited, but he continued, “However, Master, could you not revoke our status for now?”

“Why? Don’t you want to regain your freedom? Or did something happen recently?” Lin Zhen asked.

“Well, something did happen…” Ronnie’s tone was a bit apologetic, as if he had some unspeakable problems.

“Just tell me, I’ll call the shots in any case.”

“Master, the former captain of the Black Pearl, Xilanke, has found the location of Shac and me. He said that we should deceive your trust to give us our freedom, and then act as his spies. When he arrives, let us turn off the orbital cannons and Fortress Satellite defense weapons so that he can enter the Solar System…”

“And what does he want to do?” Lin Zhen asked.

“Of course, he wants to resume his old tricks. He has made some progress recently and has organized a fleet, planning to come and loot this place.”

“Oh! Xilanke has got quite the guts, how strong is he?”

“When we separated, he was at Constant Star Level Nine. Last time he contacted me in the Dimensional Universe, he had already reached the Late Black Hole Stage, so I’m a little worried… ”

Lin Zhen nodded silently, a Late Black Hole Stage enemy was indeed worth noting.

If it were only the late-stage Black Hole, it would be fine, but what worried Lin Zhen the most was if it broke through again, becoming a Star System Stage, which would be troublesome.

Lin Zhen knew many people, but he didn’t know any Star System Stage strong ones.

“When did he say he’ll come again?”

“He has some things to take care of now. He’ll be here around the end of the year, there are eight months left until the New Year.”

“Eight months… don’t bother about it for now, don’t spread the word, and tell the brothers to be on alert.”

“Understood, Master. Don’t worry, we definitely don’t want to go back to being pirates.”

Lin Zhen closed the communication and headed straight for Earth.

He had to figure out a way to deal with Xilanke’s issue, but for now, Lin Zhen just wanted to go home and see his family and child.
