A month later, on a barren star roughly five light-years from the edge of the Garbage Star Region, space twisted silently. As the radiance of God Kingdom teleportation faded, two figures appeared in the vacuum—Bai Yue and Li Ya.
Bai Yue did not linger. With a flick of his wrist, he released a G-grade metal Universe spaceship. The hatch opened, the two entered, and moments later the vessel activated, streaking toward the River Garden Star Region, one of the nine major Garbage Star Regions.
According to World Master Bo Jing, the remains of the Sky-Horned Ant had been discovered here. That single fact was enough to draw Bai Yue across half the territory. He needed answers.
Originally, Bai Yue had planned to come alone. After confirming the situation, he intended to move directly from here to the Outside Territory Battlefield. In the end, Li Ya persuaded him otherwise. The Garbage Star Regions were not ordinary places, and Li Ya was personally acquainted with Red Peak King, one of the five great Champions overseeing the River Garden Star System. Having a familiar face smoothed many things.
The spaceship traveled through the Dark Universe for more than half a month. As it decelerated toward light-speed, it slipped back into normal space, reappearing in the vast starry sky bordering the Garbage Star Region.
What greeted them was an enormous complex of palatial structures suspended in space.
This was the administrative hub of the River Garden Star System.
The palace complex was square in layout, encircled by towering outer walls. Dozens of palaces of varying heights stood within, arranged with military precision. The entire complex spanned more than 100,000 kilometers. Black-armored guards patrolled the exterior, and layered defense systems quietly locked onto the arriving vessel.
Almost immediately, the ship's intelligent system received guidance signals, directing it toward a designated docking zone.
This docking field was vast—and already occupied.
The five great Champions responsible for managing the River Garden Star System were all present.
"Red Peak," the Champion stationed here from the Universe Galaxy Bank asked casually, "why do you think Bai Yue came to a place like ours?"
Red Peak King laughed. "How would I know? Whatever his purpose, receiving him properly won't hurt."
In truth, even after questioning World Master Bo Jing and conducting his own investigations, Red Peak King had found nothing abnormal. But Bai Yue's identity alone demanded respect.
Though Bai Yue was only at World Lord Level, his status far exceeded theirs. He was a direct personal disciple of the Primordial Chaos City Lord, and the law comprehension he had displayed already brushed against Champion-tier standards. That alone was enough for them to gather in person.
"They're here."
The spaceship passed through the energy shield and descended slowly. The hatch opened, and Bai Yue stepped out with Li Ya beside him.
"Your Highness Bai Yue," Red Peak King greeted first, smiling broadly. "You've finally arrived."
"Red Peak King, and everyone present," Bai Yue replied politely. "I've troubled you all by coming here."
After a brief exchange of formalities, the group moved into a grand hall. They took their seats according to seniority, attendants serving fine drinks as the atmosphere relaxed slightly.
"I came this time," Bai Yue said calmly, "to request your assistance in tracing the origin of a batch of Life remains I received recently."
"Your Highness can rest assured," Red Peak King answered immediately. "This is a small matter."
Bai Yue transmitted the spatial coordinates provided by World Master Bo Jing. The Champions acted without delay, dispatching personnel to investigate.
Before long, a staff member returned.
"Sirs, confirmation is complete," he reported. "All remnants from that area were transferred from the Ninth Battlefield."
"Ninth Battlefield?"
The reaction around the table was immediate. Bai Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. At the same time, he sent a strand of consciousness into the Virtual Universe to retrieve detailed information.
Over endless years, the major races had jointly opened eleven Universe Battlefields to temper elites below Universe Exalt. Only through true life-and-death struggle could real powerhouses be forged. The races had agreed that anyone at or above Universe Exalt entering these battlefields would be executed on sight.
Because they lay beyond Human territory, these were collectively known as the Outside Territory Battlefields.
The Ninth Battlefield was one of the most dangerous.
Located within a massive secret realm over 100 light-years in diameter, its casualty rate consistently ranked among the top five of all eleven battlefields—primarily because the treasures unearthed there were among the richest.
"Can you narrow it down further?" Bai Yue asked. "Where in the Ninth Battlefield?"
The staff member hesitated slightly. "We can't be precise. Based on comparative analysis, over seventy percent of the remains originated from the outer regions, more than twenty percent from the inner regions, and the remainder from the core. This is only an estimate."
Because the remnants were transferred en masse via spatial relocation, pinpointing their exact origin was impossible.
Bai Yue understood. When he first discovered the Sky-Horned Ant, he had already used his authority to search the Virtual Universe. The result was clear—no such species existed in the database.
Now, the only confirmed clue was the Ninth Battlefield.
Which meant he would eventually have to go there.
While thoughts churned in his mind, Bai Yue did not neglect his hosts. Conversation flowed, the atmosphere lively.
Since he had come to the Garbage Star Region, Bai Yue naturally had no intention of leaving empty-handed.
Despite the name, these regions were anything but worthless. What filled the void were the remnants of countless battles—Universe Rank weapons, equipment, corpses, and fragments transferred directly from the battlefield. The quantity alone made their value terrifying.
Each Garbage Star Region, taken as a whole, was worth more than an entire Universe Country.
While chatting with the Champions, Bai Yue stated his purchasing requirements.
They exchanged glances.
His request was… unusual.
He wanted very small quantities of many different materials and Life remains. Individually trivial, but collectively it meant a massive increase in workload for the lower-level staff.
The reason was simple.
Bai Yue wanted to accelerate the evolution of matter within his Original Universe. Allowing substances to emerge naturally through internal evolution would take far too long. Bringing in external diversity would drastically shorten that process.
Naturally, Bai Yue had no intention of letting anyone take a loss.
Money could solve most problems—and he was no longer lacking in it.
As his Original Universe expanded, his efficiency in analyzing and creating rare treasures rose sharply. His business with Gan Wu Country Lord continued to grow, and the balance in his account had long since reached an astronomical level.
And this income cost him nothing.
With a single thought, his Original Universe could allocate creation power and generate treasures continuously.
If money wasn't meant to be spent, what was the point of having it?
The scale of Bai Yue's purchases quickly exceeded the authority of the Champions managing the River Garden Star Region. The other eight Garbage Star Regions were alerted, followed by their higher-level administrators.
When the Venerable-level powerhouses overseeing these regions received the reports, they were briefly puzzled by Bai Yue's financial resources—but they did not obstruct him.
A direct disciple of the Primordial Chaos City Lord was not someone to offend.
More importantly, these so-called "garbage" materials were worthless if left untouched. If someone wanted to buy them, everyone benefited.
All of this unfolded under the quiet observation of the Primordial Chaos City Lord himself.
He was well aware of Bai Yue's dealings with Gan Wu Country Lord in the Great Alliance—and had even discreetly helped conceal them.
