Chapter 2076 - 1611: Sorrow

"Lord Coret, did I say something wrong...?"

Yue Ji stammered.

Upon hearing Yue Ji’s words, Coret’s twisted expression gradually returned to normal. He smiled brightly and heavily patted Yue Ji on the shoulder.

"No need to fear, you didn’t say anything wrong. On the contrary, you did very well. The information you provided is extremely valuable, and I am very pleased!"

"Lord Coret, as long as you are satisfied."

Yue Ji let out a long sigh of relief.

"Rest assured, I’ve kept everything you’ve done in mind. When I am in power, it will be your day to soar. But now, we are at the most crucial moment, and I need you to help me with one thing."

After saying this, Coret whispered something to Yue Ji.

"This...."

Yue Ji was shocked upon hearing it.

"What? Are you scared?"

Coret asked with a dazzling smile on his face.

"No, no, my life was saved by you, my lord. What do I have to fear? Just wait for my good news."

Seeing Coret’s smile, Yue Ji replied righteously.

"Very good!"

Coret nodded in satisfaction.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Three days later, Su Mo was sitting in the command room of the Catastrophe Shadow, yawning as he looked at the virtual operation interface.

All the displayed navigation parameters and data were normal. They had just finished a round of superluminal travel an hour ago and were expected to start the next round in two hours.

"Boss, have some snacks."

Sun Duoxiang eagerly brought over drinks and snacks.

Su Mo didn’t refuse; he picked up the juice and took a sip, finding that sitting in the command room was indeed quite boring.

The old man was a complete hands-off manager. Since handing over command authority to him, he hadn’t returned to the command room.

"Boss, how much longer do we have to fly? Aren’t we already in the Zero Star Domain? Why does this star domain feel unusually large?"

Sun Duoxiang asked curiously.

"I’m not very sure either. Does anyone here know how big the Zero Star Domain is?"

Su Mo turned to ask the operators present.

Derim respectfully said to Su Mo: "Lord Su Mo, we’re not very sure, but according to the materials we read, the Zero Star Domain is a very special star domain, where an ordinary star sea is hundreds of times larger than a normal star sea in the Negative Universe."

"You’re not joking, are you?"

Sun Duoxiang was also stunned to hear that the star sea here was so vast.

"We are also unsure, but from comparing the data materials, that’s the conclusion we’ve come to."

Derim explained.

"No wonder we have been flying for so long."

Sun Duoxiang understood what was going on.

Su Mo was also somewhat surprised. He had only heard that the Zero Star Domain was special, but he hadn’t expected it to be so large.

At this moment, the voice of the Creator·Devourer suddenly sounded in Su Mo’s mind.

"What’s so strange about it? No matter how large the Zero Star Domain is, it can’t be larger than the Negative Universe."

"We just didn’t understand. Could you give me a detailed introduction to the Zero Star Domain?"

Seeing Xiao Shi interested, Su Mo chatted with it.

The Creator·Devourer was silent for a few seconds and then said: "The Zero Star Domain is essentially a special Birthplace with a very complex starry sky structure inside. Some areas are extremely dangerous, while others are very safe. No one has yet explored the entire Zero Star Domain. However, according to the records left by the Divine Race, the entire Zero Star Domain is roughly divided into thirteen areas. They collectively called the star sea where they were born the First Origin Star Sea, and the other star seas were named in sequence. The First Origin Star Sea is next to the Positive Universe·First Star Domain, which is how the Divine Race later stumbled into the First Star Domain."

"Oh, I remember you once told me that we were also born in the Zero Star Domain. Does that mean we’re related to the Divine Race?"

Su Mo asked with great curiosity.

"That’s correct, you were also born in the Zero Star Domain, but you are far from the First Origin Star Sea. To be precise, you’re in an obscure corner near the Negative Universe area."

The Creator·Devourer replied disdainfully.

"Ahem, there’s no difference being in the same star domain; no need to differentiate so clearly. By the way, how did Icaroya find us?"

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

"To be honest, Icaroya could accurately find you because, a thousand years ago, the Cosmic Alliance Government also faced a war of extinction. To be prepared, they executed the Seeding Plan. Otherwise, who would go out of their way to find you in that godforsaken place?"

The Creator·Devourer thought for a moment and said.

"Ah! There’s something like this? Did they win?"

Su Mo asked very curiously.

The Creator·Devourer was silent for a long while before slowly responding.

"They won. At that time, a hero from the Human Race turned the tide of the battle single-handedly, establishing the Alliance Government’s position in the Positive Universe.

"Wow~ that amazing? I’m impressed! If I could meet such a great person, that would be even better."

Su Mo expressed his admiration sincerely.

"You will. That person is Icaroya’s father, and he’s still alive."

The Creator·Devourer replied with a touch of melancholy.

"Pfft~ never mind then. By the way, which star sea are we heading to now?"

Su Mo instantly changed the subject.

"Tch~ coward, look how scared you are." The Creator·Devourer scoffed, then continued: "From the current navigation trajectory, it seems we are heading to the First Origin Star Sea."
