Chapter 495 The Sorrow of a Slave
The vast universe, the boundless starry sky...
Zhou Ze piloted a spaceship, flying aimlessly, sometimes entering the dark universe, sometimes returning to the original universe.
"The primordial universe was ten trillion light-years in diameter—just thinking about it is exciting!"
Through the outdoor simulation, Zhou Ze looked at the surrounding starry sky and felt a sense of ease, like a dragon swimming in the sea.
Zhou Ze didn't bring anyone with him on this long but aimless trip, not even Babata.
Many people can't stand being alone, but Zhou Ze is someone who naturally enjoys being alone and the freedom of being by himself.
"Hmm? There's a life-bearing planet ahead, let's go check it out..."
Zhou Ze did not connect to the virtual universe, nor did he look at the star map. The most anticipated thing about this aimless journey was encountering new things.
……
Dark Star.
This is a life-bearing planet with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, which revolves regularly around a dark red star.
Outside the atmosphere of Dark Star, there is a black, cone-shaped spaceship. Judging from the transport ships coming in and out, it is undoubtedly a mothership.
"It shouldn't be an indigenous planet!" Zhou Ze looked around with great interest.
Anything that can be called a spaceship must at least be capable of dark space travel and must be able to make contact with space.
Zhou Ze did not use his ethereal divine power to investigate, but instead piloted the spaceship to slowly approach.
"Strange, why is there no signal?"
Zhou Ze was slightly puzzled.
Generally, if there are spaceships, they must be connected to space. Any foreign spaceships that get close should receive a reception signal.
"Master, the spaceship on the other side is sending a signal, prohibiting us from approaching..." the spaceship's built-in intelligent life form prompted.
"Alright," Zhou Ze said nonchalantly, "Let's just go in any direction."
Zhou Ze didn't force anyone. Since it was private territory and they weren't allowed to enter, they simply wouldn't go in. These kinds of planets are usually resource-rich and outsiders are indeed not allowed to approach them.
Upon receiving Zhou Ze's order, the intelligent life form immediately began to accelerate and flew off in a random direction.
"Wait..." Zhou Ze ordered.
The spaceship immediately came to a stop and remained in place.
Zhou Ze looked at the distant inhabited planet with a hint of curiosity, as if something was happening.
"Turn around once, then sneak past stealthily!" Zhou Ze ordered.
The intelligent life immediately controlled the spaceship to enter stealth mode. This spaceship was an F9-class multi-functional spaceship, which was much more valuable than a regular F9-class spaceship. Zhou Ze wanted to keep a low profile when exploring the universe, but he didn't want the performance to be too poor, so he chose this spaceship.
After purchasing it, it underwent various modifications. With its stealth and disguise abilities, even ordinary immortals would find it difficult to detect and identify.
As the spaceship drew closer, Zhou Ze observed it with a hint of interest through the simulated exterior view:
"They've started fighting, how interesting..."
Zhou Ze watched with great interest, then ordered, "Cut to close-up! Never mind, I'm just going out!"
Issuing instructions is ultimately not as convenient as seeing things with your own eyes.
Zhou Ze had the intelligent life form open the spaceship's hatch, stepped out, and looked around. With Zhou Ze's eyesight, few things could obstruct his view, and this inhabited planet was naturally no exception.
"Huh? It's a slave planet!"
Zhou Ze frowned.
"This kid has good talent!"
In Zhou Ze's view, a boy with light blue hair and about 1.8 meters tall stared at the B6-class spaceship with a calm, mirror-like face and equally unperturbed eyes.
"No chip control? Is it hidden?"
Zhou Ze could tell at a glance that the child did not have a slave chip in his brain, which was why he was able to resist.
It's easy to guess that his parents hid the newborn, or faked his death to avoid chip transplantation after he grew to a certain age.
The indigenous people certainly wouldn't know how to do these things, which shows that the people on this life-bearing planet must have originally had formal contact with the universe and logged into the virtual universe!
"Either it was orchestrated by the planetary lord, or it was sold to slave traders..." Zhou Ze said calmly.
Since it's not an indigenous planet, there are only two ways to turn a planet recognized by the cosmic nation as a life-bearing planet into a slave planet.
"To be able to comprehend laws at the peak of the planetary level—this is considered top-tier genius even in a cosmic nation!"
Zhou Ze's eyes were calm. If it were several eras ago, he might have been somewhat surprised by a genius of this caliber, but for him now, his perspective was completely different from before.
Perhaps only a once-in-a-millennium genius could stir even the slightest ripple in his heart.
"Your combat talent is quite good. You've even created your own secret techniques. Although they're completely mediocre, in this slave planet environment, to be able to create your own secret techniques and comprehend the laws of water is not much worse than Tuman."
Zhou Ze thought to himself.
He learned about the planet's situation in a single thought. It was a life-bearing planet called Dark Star, just as Zhou Ze had thought. It was indeed a life-bearing planet that had joined the Elementary Universe Kingdom.
Every so often, a star-level being is born, and in history, there have even been cosmic-level powerhouses. Even among medium-level civilized nations, they would be considered to be of good quality.
Every so often, a star-level being is born, and in history, there have even been cosmic-level powerhouses. Even among medium-level civilized nations, they would be considered to be of good quality.
After all, under normal circumstances, a galaxy only produces one cosmic-level being, while a life-bearing planet can produce one eternal-level being every now and then, and has even produced a cosmic-level powerhouse, which is truly remarkable.
"Dark Star Lord..."
Zhou Ze connected to the virtual universe and looked up some information.
"Hmm, we were definitely tricked. The slave traders' initial goal was this slave planet..."
"Heh, I never expected to randomly end up on the territory of the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom. Interesting..."
Zhou Ze gave a slight sneer, his thoughts swirling in the air.
In his view, the Dark Star youth who was not controlled by the slave chip was single-handedly driving the slave traders into retreat.
"This combat talent is indeed impressive. His exertion is excellent, and his willpower has reached the cosmic level. Laws, domains, and body are all integrated into one. A planetary-level fighter defeats a ninth-tier eternal-level fighter..."
"Indeed... the universe is vast and full of wonders, and countless geniuses are buried among the masses..."
If things had gone according to plan, the young man would have single-handedly defeated the thugs the slave owner had placed there, but he couldn't use the spaceship. To survive, he would have to fly into the vast expanse of space on his own, and it wouldn't be long before he was caught up by the military fleet sent by the slave owner...
"Being a slave is truly despairing! Faced with the dimensional advantage of slave traders, no matter how good your ideas are or how outstanding your talent and understanding are, you are utterly powerless..."
Unless one possesses a spaceship, escaping the slave traders' control is virtually impossible, and seizing their spaceship is almost impossible either, unless an intelligent life form forcibly seizes control—but even many realm lords cannot obtain intelligent life forms…
Even if you possess intelligent life, all of this is predicated on you growing up under the high-tech surveillance of slave traders, utilizing your own innate talent and comprehension to grow without any guidance, and then single-handedly dealing with the slave traders' henchmen.
It's not enough to just meet one requirement; you need to meet all of them, and each one is extremely difficult!
Compared to this method, it would be much easier to demonstrate outstanding talent and comprehension, beg the slave trader to sell you to the Giant Axe Arena, win a thousand consecutive matches, and escape slavery...
