Star Odyssey

Looking behind him, Lord Weis eyes flickered, and his Thought Manifestation reappeared.

The entire Transcendent Universe once again experienced the terror of being under someones absolute control.

You Fang looked up. Lord Wei's power was truly unfathomable. The You family had failed in their attempted rebellion, and they would never get another chance to try again in the future.

In a corner of the universe, Uncle Mo stepped out and stared up at the starry sky with fear etched on his face.

Suddenly, the Thought Manifestation created a curved cyclone that flew right in front of Uncle Mo. After a moment, it took on the form of Lord Wei.

When Uncle Mo saw Lord Wei, he offered a respectful bow. "Greetings, my lord."

"He Ran is missing. Have you found any clues?" Lord Wei asked.

Uncle Mo's expression turned ugly. "No. Ke Jian was struck dead by a single palm attack. It was so powerful that it is beyond even this lowly ones abilities. It must have been a truly powerful expert who took her."

Lord Wei calmly ordered, "Give me your energy converter."

Uncle Mo's expression changed once more, and he stared at Lord Wei. "My lord, I hope to search for He Ran with my current level of strength. I will definitely find her, I"

"Give me your energy converter." Lord Wei frowned. Lord Wei himself could not find who had caused He Rans disappearance, not to mention someone weaker and with less resources than him.

Uncle Mos black energy converter had been given to him by He Ran, but He Ran had received the energy converter from Lord Wei. With He Ran missing and no way to track her down, Lord Wei could not waste a black energy converter on such a person.

Uncle Mo gritted his teeth. He could guess what Lord Weis thoughts were. Asking Uncle Mo to return his black energy converter was no different from giving up on He Ran. No, Uncle Mo could not allow his master to just disappear like this. He needed to find and bring her back. However, how could he do that without a black energy converter?

Uncle Mo placed his hand over his heart, and black energy appeared and shrouded his body. He instantly tore the void open and tried to escape. Only by keeping his current power could he hope to find He Ran. Without a black energy converter, Uncle Mo would no longer be a peak powerhouse, and how could he hope to find his mistress without such strength?

Lord Wei let out a snort of contempt. "You don't even know how to choose life over death."

As he spoke, his Thought Manifestation struck Uncle Mo's mind, and the man felt as though his head had shattered, causing him to freeze on his way towards the spatial tear. He spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing.

Lord Wei looked down from high above. "Because of your wholehearted dedication to He Ran, I will spare your life."

While speaking, the man waved a hand, and the black energy converter detached from Uncle Mo's chest and flew into Lord Wei's hand.

Uncle Mo grew desperate. "My lord, please, let me look for my master! I will definitely find her!"

Lord Wei merely tossed a white energy converter down to Uncle Mo. "Then go find her."

The mans body transformed back into Thought Manifestation, and he disappeared.

Uncle Mo struggled to grab the white energy converter. While it was far from enough strength to search for He Ran, the man understood that he had been left alive because Lord Wei hoped that he could at least dig up some clues regarding He Rans disappearance. Anything that he found would need to be reported to Lord Wei.

Uncle Mo would not give up. He had to find his mistress.

Lord Wei took the black energy converter from Uncle Mo so that he could give it to Bai Qian. "From this day onwards, you will rule over the Transcendent Universe instead of He Ran. This energy converter is to help you do that. Also, I have eliminated the threat of the You family for you."

Bai Qian showed her gratitude. "Many thanks, my lord."

Lord Wei looked at Bai Qian. "I first started to value you not because you have the perfection of He Ran, but rather because you possess potential for cultivating. Do not disappoint me."

Bai Qian's eyes flashed. "I understand."

It was not long before Lord Wei officially announced to the Transcendent Universe that Bai Qian had become their leader and that she was taking charge of the universe. f(r)eenovelkiss

People from all parts of the universe traveled to pay homage.

You Fang stared at a display and bitterly commented, "I never expected that she would be the final victor."

A person he had always regarded as nothing more than a pawn had been elevated above all others, while the You family had been cast down into the abyss. As for He Ran, no one knew if she was alive or already dead. The balance of power in the entire Transcendent Universe had changed very abruptly.

Bai Qian arrived at the place where He Ran had once stayed, and she looked at the tall flight of stairs for a moment before slowly ascending them and taking a seat. This view from the top was not too impressive.

She heard countless people praising and worshiping her, but the sounds did not excite Bai Qian. She had once been the greatest person on all of Earth; she had been the first to visit Neptune, and people from all parts of the globe had sought her out. After leaving Earth, with Starsibyls assistance, Bai Qian had improved her cultivation and entered the Astral Combat Academys Astral-1. Not even the elites from the Cosmic Sea had been comparable to her.

While everyone had focused on the fact that Lu Yin had been establishing himself as a legend, Bai Qian had not lagged too far behind.

However, as time passed, she had no idea how Lu Yin had become so powerful that she could not even dream of catching up to him. Even so, when compared with the rest of her peers, Bai Qian clearly stood at the top, and she remained superior to all the other Earthlings. She had invariably always stood at the top and had simply not had the opportunities necessary to catch up to Lu Yin.

If Lu Yin's progress shone like a legend, then Bai Qian had risen to strength under Lu Yins shadow.

Even at the current moment, when she was standing at the peak of the Transcendent Universe, Bai Qian did not grow arrogant. This was because there was still someone else still standing above her, and that person was her target.

However, she needed to maintain appearances in order to avoid rousing any suspicions, and within a moment, Bai Qian's temperament changed. She turned aloof and arrogant, taking on an aura of sacredness which gave her the appearance of being a goddess.

She perfectly mirrored He Rans demeanor. That, combined with Bai Qians own beauty and cold personality, made her mien perfect.

"Greetings, madam." When Zuo Gong arrived, he offered Bai Qian a respectful bow.

Bai Qian indifferently asked, "Zuo Gong, are you willing to serve me?"

Zuo Gong grew excited by the question. "I am willing to serve, Madam."

A smile spread across Bai Qians face, and she opened a hand to reveal a black energy converter that slowly floated over to Zuo Gong.

Zuo Gong was someone who had risen to his current position on the Ruling Council without the support of a powerful family. Just like Tu Ke, Zuo Gong was able to use a white energy converter, but he was being given the chance to accept a black energy converter by Bai Qian. She believed that Zuo Gong was someone whom she could trust, in part because it was due to Zuo Gong that Lu Yin had gotten in touch with Bai Qian in time to warn her. That was how she had managed to avoid the Junior Sovereigns plot.

Zuo Gong stared at the black energy converter floating just in front of him, and his breathing quickened.

"Are you sure?" Bai Qian asked lightly.

Zuo Gong took a deep breath. His aged face suddenly looked much younger, and he visibly straightened up. "To be honest with you, I believe that I am already able to use this black energy converter."

He then immediately reached out and grabbed the energy converter and placed it in his chest. A violent and uncontrollable power immediately started to rage through his body.

The old man trembled, and he nearly collapsed. His right foot took a step forward, and he slowly dropped down into a squat as beads of sweat dripped from his brow as he struggled to endure the surge of power. This was an opportunity, and only by seizing it could his family rise above their current predicament.

Failure would mean being forced to step down from the Ruling Council and having his family erased.

After all, they were not an established noble family.

There was a deep roar, and black energy erupted from his body and surrounded him. freewebnov el.com

Zuo Gong let out a long breath, and the void distorted. He could feel the majestic power within his body. Was this black energy? Was this the power of a peak powerhouse?

The old man excitedly offered Bai Qian another bow. "Your servant is willing to die for you."

Bai Qian nodded.

Zuo Gong deliberately disappeared into the void, just as Uncle Mo had previously done for He Ran.

At this moment, Bai Qian had gained leverage. A peak powerhouse was undoubtedly leverage, but a single powerhouse was nowhere near the limit of leverage that Bai Qian could mobilize. She was secretly supported by Lu Yin, and that was her true leverage.

He should be returning soon.

Half a month later, Lu Yin returned to the Voidforce Universe. The moment he arrived, he was startled to learn about everything that had happened in the Transcendent Universe.

He had not received any news from any part of the Sixverse Association during his time back in the Origin Universe, and thus he believed that the You family had been victorious in the Transcendent Universe. The truth was shocking to him.

The You family had actually been defeated. Lord Wei had returned from the dead, and he had even appointed Bai Qian as the leader of the Transcendent Universe!

It sounded like a dream to Lu Yin. He had actually returned, intending to learn of Bai Qians location, but shockingly, her situation had been completely reversed, and she had replaced He Ran as the leader of the Transcendent Universe. Capturing He Ran had clearly been the right decision.

On top of that, the You family had ultimately lost, despite their best predictions and preparations. Lord Wei had actually hidden his strength even more deeply than the You family. Lu Yin was just glad that he had not gotten overly involved in the entire affair, as that would have landed him in grave trouble.

The You family had actually gotten Sovereign Shao Yin to help them, only to be countered and defeated by Lord Wei. The ruler of the Transcendent Universe should be just as powerful as the Three Sovereigns.

This was a demonstration of the power that one of the Sixverse Associations member universes ruler held. Even if it was the ruler of the Transcendent Universe, a place that did not focus or excel at cultivation, the man was still both mysterious and unpredictable.

After Lu Yin returned to the Voidforce Universe, he quickly went to meet with Xu Heng, Xu Leng, and several others so that they would not worry about him. After that, he returned to the Transcendent Universe. It was time for him to learn about that places current situation.

He returned to the same area with the staircase covered with blooming flowers, but this time, the one sitting at the top of the stairs was not He Ran, but rather Bai Qian.

One person looked down, while the other looked up.

The unpredictabilities of life were truly wonderful. Lu Yin had not expected Bai Qian to actually win. He had been quite worried about her earlier, as he had tried to contact Bai Qian before capturing He Ran but had failed to get through.

"Xuan Qi, thank you for your help. The You family has been defeated, and from now on, you are the Bureau Director of the Transcendent Universes Bureau branch." Bai Qian gave a small smile as she looked at Lu Yin with sparkling eyes.

Lu Yins eyebrows climbed high. Did this mean that she had made their partnership clear to everyone? In that case, the You family already knew that he had worked against them. Could they have told Sovereign Shao Yin that Xuan Qi had killed Shao Qingfeng?

In fact, the You family had even taken He Rans attempted framing into account, though they had no idea who had actually planted Luo Qians lens in the Ziyou Realm.

At this moment, there was no question that they knew.

After thinking about the situation for a moment, Lu Yin looked back up at Bai Qian. "Where's He Ran?"

"I don't know. Shes gone missing."

Lu Yin found that to be a pity. "Thats too bad. She was pretty good to me."

Bai Qian responded with a small smile. "Pretty good to you? It seems that you think very highly of her."

Lu Yin shrugged. "Absolutely. Anyways, what should I call you? Madam Bai Qian?"

Bai Qian said, "Whatever you wish. You can call me Big Sister Bai."

Lu Yin smiled and then looked to the side. "I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Zuo."

Zuo Gong stepped out and smiled as he addressed Xuan Qi. "Madam thought it fit to give me the opportunity to protect her."

Lu Yin nodded. "Zuo Gong, I didn't expect you to be capable of using a black energy converter. You truly are a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in this universe.

"Merely using a black energy converter is far inferior to what the Bureau Director will eventually achieve when you become a peak powerhouse."

Zuo Gong felt very grateful towards Xuan Qi, as the old man had vaguely guessed that part of the reason for his sudden rise to power was related to the youth. After all, Xuan Qi and Bai Qian had a truly mysterious relationship.

Lu Yin soon left, as there was nothing more that needed to be said.

He made his way to the Ziyou Realm, as he wanted to confirm the You family's knowledge. You Fang might have already guessed some things, but it appeared that Lord Wei still knew nothing. This meant that the You family had not said anything, and thus, Lu Yin needed to visit them. The most important matter was Shao Qingfengs death. It was clear the You family had not informed Sovereign Shao Yin that Xuan Qi was the murderer, as Lu Yin had not received any threats from the Sovereign.

When he met with the members of the You family, things were quite different, and even the people involved had changed.

What surprised Lu Yin the most was You Lele. Completely gone was her previous lazy and messy appearance. The clean and tidy appearance and clear eyes made her look like a completely different person.

"If I didn't know any better, Id assume that you were impersonating You Lele," Lu Yin teased.

You Lele calmly stared at Xuan Qi. "Weve been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Yin replied, "You knew that I was alive?"
