Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Chapter 152 Earth



Chapter 152 Earth

With glasses clinking and toasts exchanged, the banquet began!

Gao Sheng and Nan Si, along with Sasana, moved through the banquet.

"Your Highness, Princess Nansi, it is my honor to attend your wedding..." Thor raised his glass and stood up with a strange smile.

"Get lost!" Gao Sheng went up and punched him.

Thor chuckled and said, "Big Brother can't come, and Third Brother is even less likely to come, so I can only represent you. Gao Sheng and Nan Si, congratulations on your successful union."

Xu Xin, Luo Hua, and the other Earthlings smiled and raised their glasses.

Gao Sheng downed his drink in one gulp, put down his glass, and said, "Xu Xin, I heard from Luo Feng that he started a company?"

"right."

"Okay, we'll discuss it in more detail later."

Xu Xin, Luo Hua, and the others smiled and nodded. Luo Feng's company had just expanded beyond Earth and had already established many collaborations with the Wei Di family. He had risen to become a core member of the five major powers, which would inevitably increase the Wei Di family's influence. They had originally come to discuss deepening their cooperation.

"Luo Ping, Luo Hai? In the blink of an eye, they've grown so much." Gao Sheng looked at Luo Feng's two children, who were both adults in their twenties and already at the Eternal Star level.

"Uncle Gao Sheng, Aunt Nan." The two young people were very respectful.

"Uncle Gaosheng, I don't plan to go back this time. I want to cultivate at the Qianwu Dojo on Qiulong Star," Luo Hai said.

Gao Sheng smiled. "Oh? Okay, okay... How about you live here from now on?"

"Thank you so much, Uncle Gao Sheng," Luo Hai said excitedly.

……

At another table, Nan Cheng, with his wife and two children, greeted Gao Sheng with a big smile.

"Brother-in-law!"

"Nancheng!"

"Call them aunt and uncle," Nan Cheng said to the two children.

"Auntie, Uncle." The two children, a boy and a girl, were very lively.

The beautiful planetary-level woman standing to the side bowed very reservedly.

"Nan Cheng, well done." Gao Sheng smiled and clinked glasses with Nan Cheng.

Nan Cheng is already a Hengxing star. After cultivating at the Qianwu Daoist Temple on Qiulong Star for several years, he realized that he didn't have much talent for cultivation. So he returned to his hometown, got married, and had children. Now he is the lord of his hometown planet, and his two children are seven or eight years old.

Ten years ago, after Nansi returned from the Ice Sea God Kingdom, he was given a stake in the Weidi family's company. Thanks to Nansi's connections in the Ice Sea God Kingdom and his own abilities, he did quite well and is now making a name for himself in the business world.

……

"Mingyu!"

"Bahman!"

……

Gao Sheng recognized most of the powerful figures at the banquet, but he wasn't familiar with many of them. If he encountered one, he would inevitably linger a little longer.

"Your Majesty, Hargrave." Gao Sheng and Nan Si arrived at the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's royal area.

The emperor raised his cup and laughed, "Your Highnesses, I dare not accept such praise, haha."

Not to mention the prince of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, even the prince of the Ice Sea Divine Kingdom, Nan Si, has a higher status than him, a royal prince who sits on the throne in rotation.

The core members of the five major forces are also divided into different levels, but most people don't know this. In their eyes, a core member of a virtual universe company and a core member of a universe mercenary alliance are the same, beings they can't reach.

Beside the emperor were several realm lords from Black Dragon Mountain and several princes.

Gao Sheng glanced at the fair-skinned young man beside Hargrave; "Brolin?"

Brolin smiled and said, "Your Highness, you've been promoted."

"Look at you, you're being too formal again," Gao Sheng said with a laugh, patting Brolin on the shoulder.

The other princes' expressions immediately changed slightly.

"Your Highness is too kind," Brolin said respectfully, his face filled with gratitude.

Brolin could be addressed as "Promotion" before, but how could he not now? His Majesty the Emperor and his maternal grandfather both have to call him "Your Highness," so how could he not?

Hargrave and Brolin were overjoyed. With the word "promotion" on his lips, no one could rival Brolin for the next emperor.

……

The banquet lasted for half a month.

This banquet was not only a gathering of powerful figures from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, but also a meeting for negotiations between the Wei Di family and various forces. As the Wei Di family sought to develop, conflicts with other forces were inevitable.

However, that was discussed by the old patriarch Pero and the other members of the family, and there were few times when Gao Sheng needed to step in.

……

Shortly after the wedding banquet, Thor brought a group of Earthlings to bid farewell to Gorshock.

Xu Xin, Luo Hua, Luo Ping, and Luo Hai didn't go back. Instead, they bought a large number of villas and castles inside and outside Qiulong City and moved there with a large group of people.

After all, Qiulong Star is the closest first-level administrative star to Earth in the Heilongshan Star Region, and its commerce is thriving. If their Pinghai Company wants to develop, it certainly cannot use Earth as its base, as that would be too inconvenient to travel between the two places.

It will take two years and eight months to get to Earth.

However, Thor is going back.

"You're leaving already? Going back to Earth?" Gao Sheng asked regretfully. "You're already at the cosmic level. Weren't you interested in those mercenary missions before?"

Thor chuckled: "I am indeed interested, but I need to send them back first."

Gao Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled at Thor.

"Nancy and I are newlyweds, and since we still have some time before we leave, we thought we'd travel around and see the sights, like a honeymoon. How about we come together? I'd love to see what the planet that raised you three brothers is like."

"Oh? Okay, that's very welcome, but you'll have to ride on my spaceship." Thor laughed.

"I know, haha."

With Luo Feng becoming a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, why would Earth fear being coveted? However, no one could decipher the chaotic coordinates of the Dark Universe. Only the intelligence of Luo Feng, Hong, Thor, and a few others could reach Earth from the Dark Universe.

Because there were too many guests, the spaceships were all docked at the harbor on Qiulong Star. Gao Sheng, accompanied by Nan Si and two maids, followed Thor to the harbor.

"Is this your spaceship?"

The blue D9 class is exactly the same as the Gaosheng spaceship, except for its color.

Thor laughed heartily: "Thank you for your kind words. I bought it not long after I came out of the Inner Realm."

In less than three days, the spaceship left the dark universe and soon entered Earth.

The arrival of these two distinguished guests from the universe naturally garnered a warm welcome from the entire Earth society.

A few days later, Thor flew through the air with Ascendant and introduced the customs and culture of Earth.

Actually, Gao Sheng already knew all this without him even having to explain.

"What a beautiful planet!" Nan Si exclaimed happily.

However, compared to the Earth in his memory, there have been too many changes. Gao Sheng sighed, perhaps it is not the same plane.

"Actually, just a few decades ago, the Earth wasn't like this," Thor explained.

Struggling to survive amidst rampant monsters, human martial artists rise to prominence through cultivation. Hong and Lei Shen open their own martial arts schools, Luo Feng rises to prominence, and enters the universe...

Thor told the story of Earth, which amazed Nancy.

However... there were no Devouring Beasts, nor any Eight Heroes.

The Secret Passage to Promotion, is this your official revised version?

"It's so beautiful, I wish I could live here forever," Gao Sheng said with a smile. "How about we buy an island? We can come here for vacations in the future."

"Okay, okay." Nansi nodded with a smile.

"We need to find Luo Feng for this; he's the lord." Thor was pleased to receive his old friend's approval.

Thus, Gao Sheng became the owner of Green Island, the largest island on Earth, even though it was an uninhabited island.

Price? That was a gift from Luo Feng. What's an island worth?

The entire Milky Way galaxy isn't even worth a few Mixed Units, okay?

……

Not long after returning to Qiulong Star, it was finally time for Gao Sheng to leave.

On the rooftop of the castle.

A large group of people saw them off.

"Brother Sheng..." Nan Si held Gao Sheng's hand, reluctant to part.

Gao Sheng gently comforted him, "I will be back in two or three hundred years at most."

He hugged Sasha and Ina again, saying, "Remember to strive for your own breakthrough. You two also need to cultivate diligently so that you will have a chance to become a Domain Lord or a Realm Lord in the future."

"Mmm..." Sasha and Ina were already teary-eyed.

"My child, be careful." Shui Lan'er was the one who cried the most.

The son is leaving, and this departure will last for at least several hundred years. What mother wouldn't be heartbroken?

The fat old man couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Alright, alright, it's not like we're going to die. Besides, we can meet in the virtual universe."

Gao Sheng whispered in Rhodes' ear, "Work hard on your Force cultivation, become a Domain Lord as soon as possible, so you can be a leader."

"I understand." The fat old man blinked.

"Master." Lanluo looked at Gao Sheng from behind, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Soon after, a teardrop-shaped spaceship, more than 500 meters long, appeared and hovered high above the castle.

A black-haired woman flew out of the cabin and landed on the rooftop.

"Sister Qingqing!" Nansi called out.

"Nan Si, you've become even more beautiful." Ji Qing smiled and hugged Nan Si. "It's a pity we don't have time to chat."

Ji Qing looked at Gao Sheng, "Let's go, Marquis Lijin is waiting upstairs."

"Goodbye!" Gao Sheng waved and he and Ji Qing soared into the sky.

"Goodbye!" On the rooftop, everyone waved in unison, but Nan Si's tears still flowed uncontrollably.
