Ethan stayed in the valley until the twenty-ninth.

He packed. Retracted every patch of land back into his storage space—the bigger space that had come with Level 5. Doudou couldn't be stored. It shrank itself into a small warm light and settled on his shoulder like a pendant. People kept electronic pets now. Nobody looked twice.

He walked out of the wilds toward the city.

The road held other travelers. Scavengers picking through the dead ground, bent over, their packs heavy. Family exploration

  • Chapter 275: Isn't This a Qilin?

    "Huh? What just fell out of the sky? It's red. Kinda cute, actually."The cub lay flat on the ground, aware of a voice somewhere above it — a language it didn't understand — and then something poked its belly.It pried its eyes open. It seemed to be in a forest; there was running water not far off. Kneeling beside it was a pretty child in a red T-shirt and blue shorts, round-cheeked, and in those big dark eyes the cub saw a small shape.It froze. Slowly, it understood. The shape in the boy's eyes was itself.Red fur. Two small horns on its head. A face like a dog, but not quite. Four limbs like a pig's — short, fat, ridiculous.It went quiet for a long time. This was the first time it had actually seen what it looked like.The child didn't seem afraid. He stared for a long while, then muttered to himself. "You look familiar. Where have I seen you... let me think.""Ah. Got it. You're a qilin.""You're a qilin? How did you get out here? So Lunguo really does have qilin after all?""The

  • Chapter 274: The Two-Tone Man

    Noikaisen Montoya sat where he had fallen and worked his jaw until the shaking stopped. The Nine-Turn Golden Soul Pill sat warm in his stomach, but no pill on any star lane could warm the cold that had started in his bones the moment that giant hand came down from the sky.He kept turning the same thought over. Chiyou. He didn't even have the man's real name, but a fighter that strong could not be anonymous. The Giant Clan had always been the hardest-hitting of the humanoid races — if their numbers hadn't been so few, if their breeding hadn't been so cursed, they would have owned the whole cosmos long ago. Even now, scarce as they were, no one argued with the claim that they were the strongest of the human races.Noikaisen had been truly broken this time. The Insect Queen had already washed her hands of him. He wasn't fool enough to go after Ethan Su or that wretched blue planet again. This was a loss he would swallow in silence.The Montoya family was gutted. Not just ten million sol

  • Chapter 273: Thanks for the Rocket, Friend

    "Gou Dan, go chew someone else's." Chiyou watched the panda beat his bamboo against Noikaisen's hull, throwing sparks and wobbling the deck, accomplishing nothing. "This one's mine."Gou Dan wilted.He'd trained for years, trapped in that strange place, eaten mountains of bamboo, grown himself stronger. And now, at his master's side, he still couldn't land a single hit. What if Chiyou decided he was too weak to keep and left him on this rock again?He threw himself at the nearest ship and bit.Eat it. Eat all of it. Eating makes me stronger.The old panda patriarch watched this and roared, "Gou Dan, you are a disgrace to the bear clan!""Disgrace to the bear clan!" the rest of them roared, and surged forward. They didn't fight Chiyou over the kills. They looked soft. They were not stupid.Three thousand bears with bamboo spears hit the Montoya vanguard like a landslide. By the time the column understood it was under attack, ships were already falling. The pandas didn't fight clean. Th

  • Chapter 272: We Came Close to Dying Here

    A war column ten million strong didn't move without drawing eyes. The whole Black Dragon Star Domain buzzed. Only Yuliu looked at their bearing and knew. They were heading straight for a system that belonged to Ethan.He messaged Ethan the second he was sure, and offered the Guild's help — the Galaxy Guild owed Ethan three favors a year. If he wanted the column stopped, it stopped.Ethan was busy saving a life.It wasn't hard to wake Yedu's wife. He'd done this before. The hard part was remaking her soul and body while keeping the child alive inside her. He'd burned through ancient texts until he found a method that would do both. It needed two materials, both rare.One was the Ginseng Fruit.He'd imagined the fable from his childhood — the old storybook ginseng that looked like a baby and granted a hundred years. The System Shop had unlocked the real thing once he hit max level, and it wasn't that at all.It did look like a baby. It had a heartbeat. It breathed. But its one purpose w

  • Chapter 271: Earth's Secret Surface

    Yedu didn't waste a second. He hauled every treasure in the living room down to the basement and piled it on the floor — a fortune that would have bought half the Black Dragon Star Domain at auction.Ethan's eyes made one pass over it. "I need you at the door. Forty-nine days. Not one moment of disturbance. Remember that."Yedu nodded. He went up the stairs, stood for a long moment, then rang his father."Father. Help."He looked like a blunt instrument, but he'd been playing three moves ahead since he was small. The Montoya house wasn't alone. Something bigger stood behind it — something with its own Demigod. If that power decided to interrupt a forty-nine-day ritual, no wall Yedu owned would hold.He didn't want a Bimeng prodigy added to the clan. Their enemies wanted it even less. The power behind the Montoya house happened to sit on that list. Race war aside, every star domain kept its peace; grievances went to the Outer Realm Battlefield. But if a race war did break, it would be

  • Chapter 270: Where the Treasure Went

    "You don't know either?" Ethan frowned. "Then why have the Montoyas been hunting you all these years?"The old man thought it through, slow."Perhaps that's the whole of it. Kill every Su, and the treasure falls to whoever's left standing. You don't need to find it if you erase the people who know where it is."That fit. The Montoyas were ambitious and cruel enough to buy that logic."What did it do? Why did so many houses want it bad enough to exterminate a clan?""I don't know. I only ever heard it was a small cauldron." The old man's voice thinned. "When it surfaced, nine-colored light shot straight up. The whole Black Dragon Star Domain lit up like day. That flash did it. No one saw what it could do. No one had to. Enough houses looked at that light and decided it was a prize worth killing for."The old man's eyes filmed over."A man with a treasure is guilty of owning it. That's all the crime we ever committed. The strong don't wait for a reason to take what they want. They inven
