Looking at Freya who was slowly retreating, Death Harbinger Grayflame let out a cold snort and said, "The guys from the data center only know how to make use of every opportunity. They don't even have a single expert on the Star River Deity and Demon Rankings. Their help to the group arena is very limited.
"It's best that you don't look for them. These guys only want to make use of you."
As the saying went, "Immortals don't get together with humans." Although Zuo Qingcang was not ranked on the Star River Deity and Demon Rankings, Death Harbinger Grayflame was very convinced of his strength, even if he did not have a high-dimensional battleship.
However, it was also because of this that Zuo Qingcang appeared to be a rare commodity with boundless potential. Therefore, Death Harbinger Grayflame admired and valued Fang Xingjian greatly.
"Brother Qingcang, with your strength, if you have a high-dimensional battleship, you'll definitely be able to get a place on the Star River Deity and Demon Rankings." Death Harbinger Grayflame said seriously, "However, there are still five years before the group arena starts. Countless people in the universe have entered the final stages of their training.
"To be honest, if you want to gather the remaining 900,000 points to exchange for a high-dimensional battleship within five years, time is still tight. "However, we can help you."
"You guys?" Zuo Qingcang's eyes narrowed as he asked.
"Yes, us." A mysterious smile seemed to have formed in Death Harbinger Grayflame's blue flames. "A few friends and I are planning to make a final upgrade before the group arena starts. We've been preparing for this for a very long time.
"I feel that with you, our chances of success will be even higher. I just don't know if you're interested."
Zuo Qingcang was not surprised by this. Even if it was an expert on the Great Demon Ranking, it was impossible for them to do everything by themselves. When encountering dangerous matters, it would be safer to find a few strong companions who shared the same ideals and could be trusted to do it together.
However, for someone like Death Harbinger Grayflame to join forces with them, it would definitely be a lot more dangerous.
Therefore, Zuo Qingcang asked, "Join forces? What are we going to do exactly? "
"I can't tell you that right now." Death Heralding Ash Flame said straightforwardly, "But if you're interested, we have a gathering three days from now. It just so happens that it will be held on this continent. At that time, you can contact me through the Profound Net. Oh right, you don't have my ID number yet, right?"
Apparently, the Xuan Net had its own communication function. All they needed to do was to add each other as friends through their ID. After doing all this, Death-Announcing Cang Yan left. He knew that Zuo Qingcang had just joined the Supreme Council and had many things to do.
However, before he left, he suddenly paused and said, "Oh, right, I've already dealt with that Bibi guy who gave you trouble. There are always some fellows in the universe who take the mercy of the strong for granted. "
When he said this, his entire body was overflowing with killing intent. However, after saying this, he smiled and said, "I hope to see you in three days. If there's anything you need help with, feel free to contact me."
Looking at Death Heralding Ash Flame's disappearing back view, Zuo Qingcang sighed inwardly, 'Being unaccountably solicitous … It seems that their target this time around will be very troublesome for them. To think that they want to rope in someone they just met.'
From this point alone, the importance of the Milky Way Arena could be seen.
This was a super competition that would decide the rankings of the entire Milky Way's Deities and Demons Rankings. It was a super competition that was filled with individual heroism, race, and civilization, as well as the most blatant power and battles. It would affect the resource allocation of countless galaxies and galaxies, as well as the political structure, as well as the rise and fall of planets.
Countless people were betting everything they had.
Countless experts in the universe were making all sorts of preparations for that day. Sacrificing one's life, putting one's soul on the line, and betting one's entire life had become the norm.
Even Death Heralding Ash Flame, a top notch expert who had already made it onto the Deities and Demons Rankings, was also putting in great effort to move up a few ranks or to ensure his ranking.
Just a change in the single-digit rankings on the Deities and Demons Rankings was enough to cause an upheaval in tens or even hundreds of planets.
As the five years got closer and closer, Zuo Qingcang was increasingly able to experience the pressure and nervousness in the starry sky.
A few minutes later, he walked out of the Supreme Council's office area and arrived at a random hotel.
Under the Supreme Council's rule, the currencies between the various civilizations could naturally be circulated. Of course, the currency that was most widely used was still the currency issued by the Supreme Council.
Previously, the Voice of Milky Way had naturally laundered some money to Zuo Qingcang. Now that Zuo Qingcang had registered himself on the Mystic Net, he could activate the payment function on the Mystic Net. Of course, this was just a small matter and needless to say.
After Zuo Qingcang arrived at the hotel room, he started to search for and browse through various information on the Mystic Net.
The Mystic Net was simply too massive. Putting aside the massive amount of information on various private networks, just the four major functions of the Supreme Council's internal Star Map, Missions, Exchange, and Discussion were enough for ordinary people to spend their entire lives reading.
However, Zuo Qingcang was not interested in the Star Map at the moment. There were still three days left before he wanted to go and take a look at Death Heralding Grayflame's gathering. Right now, he was looking at the Exchange function. No matter what, he had 100,000 points, which were enough to exchange for many things.
However, his top priority now was to obtain a high-dimensional battleship. Thus, he was still very cautious about the use of his points.
Zuo Qingcang looked at the many secret manuals, pieces of technological information, and all sorts of weapons, equipment, and resources that flashed past his eyes. He looked at them for over two hours, and the ones that his gaze lingered on the longest were those man-made stars and man-made battle planets. These massive fellows were worth about 5,000 to 10,000 points.
'100,000 points can buy 20 man-made celestial bodies. If I were to consume them, my current mass would at least double.'
At this moment, Zuo Qingcang finally understood how precious these points were. To him, who possessed the Devouring Heavens state, he could simply use his points to convert them into actual strength.
However, he ultimately did not use these points.
He was still too unfamiliar with the current situation in the entire universe. There were many things that he did not know if it was worth it to exchange for them or if he could not use his points to buy them at a cheaper price.
Therefore, after looking at it for a while, he looked at the discussion forum and entered the area with Level C clearance.
This was like the online forums on Earth in the past. However, it was many times better than online forums. After all, all the communication here was done directly through the profound network and the human consciousness. The efficiency and accuracy were many times better.
Zuo Qingcang did not have a great goal in mind. He only wanted to understand the situation in the various galaxies under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Council as soon as possible, as well as the information on the various experts on the Divine Demon Ranking. Therefore, he first browsed through a few posts that were more popular.
"The Netherworld Empire's police department was pursuing a fugitive and was attacked by an unknown high-level life form. The empire's capital planet was attacked by terrorists and turned into a group of believers.
Someone said that the attackers were a large number of silicon-based and electromagnetic life forms. They also saw a giant light figure that covered the sky. "
"The Buddha Clan's main planetary system, the Vajra Buddhist Kingdom, disappeared overnight. It is suspected that they were attacked by an unknown force. However, the Supreme Council has yet to find any signs of battle. This is the third large-scale disappearance of a planet in ten years. Just like the previous two major incidents, there was no prelude, no follow-up. No clues could be found. It is as if the existence of the universe has been violated. "
"Passalika has finally been captured. However, this time, four experts on the Divine Demon Ranking have died. In addition to the two Green Art People who died previously, who do you think will be next?"
The third post immediately attracted Zuo Qingcang's interest. After all, this incident was very close to him.
Any post that discussed the experts on the Divine Demon Ranking would definitely become popular. Moreover, this time, six experts on the Divine Demon Ranking had died in the Milky Way. It could be said that this was a rare major incident in a year.
"Which department has Passalika been recycled to? The technological weapons in there are very powerful. Their combat power is no less than 7,000 experts on the Divine Demon Ranking."
"The Council doesn't lack one or two superweapons. The key is the replacement for these dead people."
"Yes, this happened five years before the start of the competition. Hmph, you must know that the advantages of those on the Divine Demon Ranking and those below the Divine Demon Ranking are completely different."
"That's not necessarily true. If the one controlling Passalika is a super expert, he might have already been taken in by the Council. That would be the super dark horse of the Galaxy Arena."
The contents of the replies were varied. Most of them were just idle guesses. Zuo Qingcang lost interest after reading for a while. However, some posts introducing the experts on the Divine Demon Ranking had aroused his interest.
"The strongest in the Milky Way, the eternal Starry Sky Marshal, the Saint of Swords.
The pride of our Milky Way, ranked 105th on the Divine Demon Ranking, Level 18 Apocalypse Lord – Starry Sky Sword Saint.
Five years later will be the 100th year of the Sword Saint's seclusion. I believe that after a hundred years of seclusion, his strength will have reached an unimaginable level. He will definitely break through to Level 19 Apocalypse Lord and break through to the top 100 on the Divine Demon Ranking, becoming a permanent member of the Council. He will create an unprecedented legend and break the history of the Milky Way. "
This poster was anonymous and claimed to be 'an admirer of the Starry Sky Sword Saint.'
However, although there were people who respected him, there were also many people who objected.
"Who knows if that old guy is still alive. He hasn't appeared in 100 years. Maybe he died long ago."
"He hasn't appeared in 100 years. Maybe he hasn't made any progress after his seclusion and is too embarrassed to appear."
"Speaking of which, compared to the 105th Starry Sky Sword Saint, the 114th Night Banshee is more likely."
"Yes, the Night Banshee has killed the Space Monster Pajero and the Zerg Overlord in recent years. Last year, she single-handedly injured an Evil God of the Land of White. That's not something an ordinary person can do."
Next, it was mainly the admirers of the Starry Sky Sword Saint and the Night Banshee who were arguing with each other about how powerful their side was. Zuo Qingcang found it quite interesting. From the bits and pieces of information, he could feel the strength of the two strongest of the previous generation in the Milky Way Galaxy and the new generation's rising stars.
Next, he looked at some more popular posts. Most of them were introductions to the various experts on the Celestial and Demon List in the Milky Way Galaxy. However, this was an area with C-level authority after all. Zuo Qingcang looked at it for a while and felt that there wasn't much concrete information, so he couldn't be bothered to read more.
Therefore, he returned to the virtual space and told Ah Yue and the others about what had happened. He also gave appropriate pointers to his disciples' cultivation and encouraged humans to continue to accelerate their development. A few hours later, he was back in the hotel again.
Three days later, he would be attending the Death Heralding Cang Yan's gathering. Zuo Qingcang opened the mission panel, wanting to see if there were any missions that he could accept.
However, he gave up after looking at it for a while. Without a high-dimensional battleship, it would take too much time to go to planets to complete missions and resolve threats. Moreover, missions with ordinary continent-level threats would only give him a few dozen or a few hundred points. As for planet-level and star-level threats, they would give him thousands or tens of thousands of points.
However, it was still the same thing. It was too far away.
Moreover, compared to continental level threats, this level of threat was really rare in number. Even if he used subspace flight, it would take him a few months, a few years, or even ten years to complete the mission from one place to another.
'Without a high-dimensional battleship, it's really a little troublesome to get the remaining 900,000 points in five years.'
Ordinary missions were really not suitable for experts like him to complete. It was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Therefore, Zuo Qingcang looked at the few large-scale missions that had been listed for hundreds of years and were still in progress. They were missions with a galactic-level threat level.
For example, clearing out the Zerg in the Magellan Galaxy, or counterattacking the Land of White and capturing the Diablo alive. Or igniting and restarting the Heart of the Milky Way, restoring the countless dead stars in the center of the Milky Way to their original state, and improving the ecological environment of the Milky Way.
If he could complete one or two of these missions, he would definitely be able to get more than one million points within five years.
Just as Zuo Qingcang was thinking about this, a friend friend sent him a friend request. Zuo Qingcang glanced at it and found that it was from the Voice of the Milky Way.
'This guy is really well-informed.'
Zuo Qingcang understood that this kind of expert on the Celestial and Demon List must have his own spies in the branch. He was not surprised and directly agreed to the other party's request.
The Voice of the Milky Way on the other side started the communication, and his image was directly transmitted to Zuo Qingcang's mind.
"Hello, Your Excellency. Congratulations on getting first place in this test."
"If you have something to say, just say it," Zuo Qingcang said calmly.
"It's about the Galaxy Arena this time. Do you plan to participate?" The Voice of the Milky Way asked cautiously. Although he had recovered from his injuries, he was still full of fear when he saw Zuo Qingcang.
"I will participate. Do you have any questions?"
The Voice of the Milky Way hesitated for a moment, seemingly hesitating about something, and then said, "Some things are better said face to face. I don't know if Your Excellency has time these few days. It's best if we meet tomorrow morning."
"This morning?" Zuo Qingcang thought for a while. He just happened to have something to ask. He wanted to confirm the Voice of the Milky Way's matter about Death Heralding Cang Yan, so he said, "Let's meet this morning. Name a place."
After the artificial sun of the continent rose, Zuo Qingcang left the hotel room and walked outside.
After every few steps, he flashed and instantly teleported to a restaurant. He walked to the Voice of the Milky Way and sat down. His quantum entanglement was enough to allow him to travel freely within 100,000 kilometers with the help of virtual space.
In the restaurant, the others only glanced at him for a moment, but they weren't too surprised. After all, this was too common in the universe. It was not like the absolute instantaneous light door of a high-dimensional battleship. What was there to be surprised about?
However, at this time, the Voice of the Milky Way was wrapped in a layer of black robe, blocking people's sight and various detection devices. He obviously did not want people to know his identity.
"Your Excellency, hello."
The Voice of the Milky Way greeted him. He first talked to Zuo Qingcang about the situation of the branch, the changes in the Celestial and Demon List, and the preparations for the Galaxy Arena.
In the conversation between the two, the Voice of the Milky Way used encrypted infrasonic waves. Zuo Qingcang simply sounded in the other party's mind. Although they were in the restaurant hall, no one could know what they were talking about.
Just when Zuo Qingcang was about to ask him impatiently, the Voice of the Milky Way seemed to have noticed this and asked, "Your Excellency Zuo Qingcang, I wonder if I can trouble you to help me complete a mission."
"What mission?"
"An inner galactic-level mission." The Voice of the Milky Way directly used his sound wave ability and transmitted invisible infrasonic waves into Zuo Qingcang's body.
"With your support, we will definitely be able to complete it. This can greatly speed up the speed of you obtaining a high-dimensional battleship."
Obviously, in order to get a good ranking in the Galaxy Arena, the Voice of the Milky Way also thought of using Zuo Qingcang's strength to strengthen himself. Of course, as he said, if the mission was completed, it would obviously be beneficial to Zuo Qingcang.
Zuo Qingcang looked at him coldly and said, "Why should I help you?"
"I can also use a high-dimensional battleship to help you." The Voice of the Milky Way looked at Zuo Qingcang without fear. As an expert on the Celestial and Demon List, he still had this bit of courage. Moreover, this matter concerned the improvement of his strength and the ranking of the new Celestial and Demon List. Of course, he had to fight for what was right.
The two of them looked at each other for a while. Just when the Voice of the Milky Way's heart was beating like a drum, Zuo Qingcang smiled coldly. "Alright, tell me what the mission is first."
"He agreed! This monster agreed. "The Voice of the Milky Way's heart was suddenly relieved, and he was overjoyed. However, at this moment, a huge figure suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of Zuo Qingcang.
Looking at the huge lizard man that was the size of a small hill, Zuo Qingcang could not help but frown.
Behind this lizard man, there were two smaller lizard men who were pulled to kneel down by the bigger lizard man.
"Your Excellency, I was really instigated by a villain. I didn't mean to find trouble with you. I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive me this time."
The guy who was kneeling and begging for mercy was naturally the lizard man, Bibi Nuo, the officer who deliberately made things difficult for Zuo Qingcang during the test. However, for an expert on the Celestial and Demon List like Death Announcer Cang Yan who held a post in the Supreme Council, it would only take a single sentence for a human resources officer to marginalize and eventually fire him.
Although Bibi Nuo had only been transferred out of the human resources department, as an old employee of the Supreme Council, he knew all too well how he would be slowly transferred out of the center and eventually marginalized and even fired.
He also could not imagine what would happen to him if he lost his position in the Supreme Council. Not only would his current power be gone forever, but his wealth would also be exploited by countless people.
What was even more frightening was that those who had offended him in the past would take revenge on him after they found out that he was no longer a staff member of the Supreme Council. He did not even dare to think about it.
Therefore, after trying to find out who wanted to deal with him, after a night of anxiety, he received news from one of his friends that Zuo Qingcang had appeared in this restaurant, so he brought his wife and children to Zuo Qingcang and knelt down in front of him.
Seeing the two small lizard men crying and begging for mercy, Zuo Qingcang was even more displeased.
This Bibi Nuo looked like he was begging for mercy, but it was obvious that someone disgusting was here to use such shameless means to force him to submit. And for a guy like Zuo Qingcang who was absolutely self-centered, what he hated the most was being forced by others, whether by force or by his own pitifulness.
But Zuo Qingcang was not happy, but there was one person who was even more furious.
The Voice of the Milky Way, who was still immersed in joy just now, was furious when he saw the three lizard men in front of him. How could he not be angry when he was interrupted?
Seeing the lizard men begging for mercy, he snorted coldly and said directly, "I'll give you three breaths of time to get out of here."
When he said this, he immediately showed his extraordinariness and arrogance. Bibi Nuo could also hear that the other party was not being vague, but at this point, it was a life and death struggle. If he took a step back, he would be at the edge of the cliff. How could he be told to leave by the other party with just a few words?
He gave a look, and he had already hugged Zuo Qingcang's calf. His wife and daughter also hugged Zuo Qingcang's other leg and the Voice of the Milky Way's calf.
"Please, I'm begging you. If you expel me, it's the same as asking me to die. It doesn't matter if I die, but my daughter is still young. Can he imagine what such a young girl will encounter under the malice of countless people …?"
The Voice of the Milky Way immediately released his murderous aura and snorted coldly, "Ignorant fool."
As a powerhouse ranked 6512th on the Celestial and Demon List, he was submissive in front of Zuo Qingcang. But how could he take a small character like Bibi Nuo seriously? Even if Death-Revealing Cang Yan was standing in front of him, he was just a junior.
He immediately stood up. He did not even bother to ask what was going on. With a kick, he sent the female Lizardman clinging onto his leg flying.
"Kid, you asked for it." He opened his mouth and spat out a shockwave that directly sent Bibi Nuo flying. The latter was bleeding from his seven orifices, and he fell to the ground while vomiting blood.
"Dad." The little lizard man cried and lay on Bibi Nuo's back, shaking his body constantly.
Seeing this scene, someone in the hall finally could not stand it anymore.
An extraordinarily handsome humanoid alien, who looked like the son of the sun, stood up and said, "That's enough. Bullying a woman and beating up small characters, what kind of ability is that?"
"Huh?"
Zuo Qingcang did not speak and just sat there quietly. The Voice of the Milky Way snorted coldly, looked at the young man, and said, "Kid, are you going to meddle in other people's business?"
At this moment, he covered his body and concealed his identity. No one could tell that he was the Voice of the Milky Way on the Celestial and Demon List.
The young man was suppressed by the Voice of the Milky Way's aura and immediately felt that he was at a disadvantage. He knew how powerful the other party was. However, his own identity and strength were not simple either. The key was that in front of his companions, he was absolutely unwilling to lower his head and embarrass himself.
However, his tone softened slightly, "This is a restaurant. If you want to make a scene, go outside. Don't disturb everyone's meal here."
The Voice of the Milky Way's tone became colder and colder, "Heh, remember what you said, kid."
"You don't have to threaten me, I just can't stand you bullying people." At this time, the young man was just saying empty words. He couldn't help it, the aura of the other party was too strong, and his tone was too arrogant. He couldn't help but feel nervous.
The companions of the handsome alien were also smart. Just when the young man was talking to the Voice of the Milky Way, a pink woman with four hands and three eyes walked towards Bibi Nuo. While healing him, she asked what was going on.
"They want to harm my father. My father is a good man, he enforces the law impartially. That bad guy bribed others to frame my father and beat my mother." The little lizard man immediately shouted.
However, no one took his words seriously. In the end, Bibi Nuo glanced at the young man and his companions. Seeing that they were dressed luxuriously and had extraordinary manners, he felt lucky and told them about the matter.
When she heard that the number one in the test, Death Sentence Cang Yan, wanted to take Bibi Nuo away, a trace of calmness flashed across the pink woman's face. At the same time, she secretly passed the information to the young man.
When the young man heard that Death Sentence Cang Yan wanted to deal with the lizard man, he couldn't help but frown.
Powerhouses on the Celestial and Demon List are really people that no one wants to provoke easily.
However, Zuo Qingcang in front of him was just the number one in the test. The C-rank mercenary wasn't Death Sentence Cang Yan himself, but the big guy who beat up the lizard man for Zuo Qingcang. Logically speaking, his status should be even lower, so it was impossible for the young man to take him seriously.
Thinking of this, his confidence was boosted. He let out a cold laugh and said, "Big fella, I'm Grosas from the Deity Race. I don't know what wrong this lizardman has committed, but since you've disturbed me and my friend's meal, you should apologize."
Yang Kai's words were very evasive, bypassing Death Herald Cang Yan who wanted to deal with the Lizardmen. In his opinion, he was already giving Death Herald Cang Yan a lot of face. After all, his subordinates were scolding him, if he didn't retaliate, it would be inexcusable.
What's more, the identity of him and his five companions was not simple. They were all S-rank mercenaries of the Third Arm Spiral Branch of the Supreme Council of the Milky Way Galaxy. This time, they gathered at the branch to inherit the extra positions on the Celestial and Demon List.
It was because of the vacancy on the Celestial and Demon List caused by Passalika that they were strong contenders. This meant that there were two problems. Firstly, they all had high-dimensional battleships. Secondly, they were all very strong.
This time around, with so many experts on the Celestial and Demon List dead, they were the ones who benefited the most. Moreover, as candidates for the Celestial and Demon List, they had a high and mighty attitude toward ordinary people.
Therefore, although they did not wish to offend Death Sentence Cang Yan, they would definitely not be afraid of his subordinates.
Hearing Grothus's words, the Voice of the Milky Way laughed out loud, looking at the young man as if he was looking at a dead person. That gaze made Grothus feel very uncomfortable.
"S-rank mercenary, Son of God, Grothus." It was really rare that the Voice of the Milky Way remembered his identity. Grothus thought that he was going to give in, but the Voice of the Milky Way let out a cold snort and said, "This time around, there's a vacancy on the Celestial and Demon List. The few of you can stop thinking about it. Go back from where you came from.
Scram immediately and don't let me see you again. "
"What?" Hearing this, Grothus's countenance instantly turned pale. This time around, they had all become candidates to compete for the vacant spots on the Celestial and Demon List. This was definitely a top secret, and to think that the other party had revealed it just like that.
Moreover, the other party had even asked them to go back from where they came from. The other party's tone was too arrogant, and Grothus could not help but be stunned.
'Could it be that I've made a mistake somewhere?' He could not help but think.
However, now that things had come to this, there was no way out for Grothus. He had no choice but to brace himself and say, "Where I go and what arrangements I have are decided by the upper echelons of the parliament. I wonder what your identity is to be able to order me to do something like this."
This was the second time that he had tried to find out about the Voice of the Milky Way's identity.
'Even if you want me to give in, you should at least give me a reason and tell me your identity.
'Of course, if you're really here just because of your tone, then don't blame me for not being courteous.
However, the Voice of the Milky Way did not give Grothus any face at all. Or rather, he did not even care about Grothus and the others and did not wish for his identity to be exposed. Thus, he shook his head and said, "You'll naturally know when the time comes. Anyway, this isn't something that you can get involved in. Scram."
The lady with four arms and three eyes seemed to be unable to take this any longer. She stood up and said, "Haha, you're really arrogant. What if we were to get involved in this matter? You guys still think that you're in the right after injuring someone so severely in the restaurant? "
However, Zuo Qingcang could no longer stand by and watch their quarrel. He let out a cold sigh and said to the Voice of the Milky Way, "Why are you wasting your breath on them? Settle this quickly.
If you don't, then I'll do it. "
"This … How can I let you do it?"
The Voice of the Milky Way instantly broke out in cold sweat. This was the territory of the Supreme Council. His words were too blatant.
"Settle us?" The lady in pink looked at Zuo Qingcang indignantly and said in an old-fashioned tone, "Young man, don't be too arrogant. Do you really think that just because you're related to Death Harbinger of Grayflame, you can do whatever you want?"
