Chapter 542: Chapter 315: In the vast universe, either enslave others or be enslaved by others_2

Xuanxing was already like this, not to mention the civilizations on the technological side. It is said that these technological civilizations possess weapons capable of destroying the Sitting and Forgetting Realm.

If I could purchase some in the Star Ruins Realm and bring them back to Xuanxing, Xuanxing undoubtedly would be a bit safer. After all, compared to the increase of personal strength, technological advancement is undoubtedly the quickest way.

The moment he clasped hands with Jiang Shu, Tuoba Jin immediately took out a Token from his chest and said, "Brother Jiang, this is my personal Token. If you get a chance, you can come visit us at Tuoba City. If you run into any issues, this Token can solve many of them."

"Uncle Zheng and I have other matters to attend to, so we will part ways here."

Having said that, Tuoba Jin gave Uncle Zheng a meaningful glance, and the group quickly moved out of Jiang Shu’s line of sight.

"Young Master, didn’t you want to recruit Jiang Shu? Why did you only give him a Token? Why not take them directly to Tuoba City?"

The group, having pinpointed the direction to the Inner Circle, advanced several hundred miles, ensuring that no one followed them. One of the guards couldn’t help but ask.

"Idiot." Before Tuoba Jin could reply, Uncle Zheng turned and uttered a low rebuke. "Did you see the two consciousness entities beside that man? One cultivates the Spirit Path, and the other, the path of divine belief."

"Such strength in consciousness entities suggests their true forms are both at the Forget Self Realm, Lower Gods. Yet, even so, the younger man among the three is clearly the one they defer to. This indicates that the man definitely possesses qualities that far surpass theirs."

"This is fundamentally why the Young Master spoke up. Otherwise, there are others fleeing with us, and some with Realms similar to ours. Why doesn’t the Young Master bother with anyone else?"

Uncle Zheng glanced at Young Master Tuoba, who had already begun to sit cross-legged to continue comprehending the Origin of the Black Iron Desert, as if nothing had just happened. He continued to speak, his voice even softer, "If the three were good friends, it wouldn’t be such a strange combination. After all, since the man has the strength of the Forget Self Realm, the other two would have also come in their true forms—one at the Forget Self Realm, the other a Lower God. That would align with a normal relationship."

"What we’ve encountered indicates a high probability that within the Black Iron Desert, there might be a Star Gate to an Extraordinary Planet. Those two consciousness entities are invaders; it’s just that this Extraordinary Planet has seen a powerful genius emerge."

"Inside the Star Ruins Realm, there are numerous examples of this. Generally, when consciousness entities encounter a true genius during an invasion of a planet, they will consider turning foes into friends and bringing them into the Star Ruins Realm to foster a good relationship. Those two consciousness entities probably had the same thought. The nervousness during their escape was likely due to the fear that if the consciousness entities perish, their true forms will no longer be able to contact the man."

"You can’t recruit a genius who has just entered the Star Ruins Realm too aggressively. If you found yourself in a strange, more dangerous place, would you easily trust someone inviting you to their city?"

"Leaving behind a name and a Token is just so that the man knows in his heart that Tuoba City exists, with our Young Master there. With his Talent and strength, as long as he leaves the Black Iron Desert, he is bound to visit nearby cities. Once he confirms our identity, it’s likely he will go to Tuoba City."

"After all, compared to other unfamiliar and difficult-to-navigate cities, which would you choose if there’s one with acquaintances and a reliable background? By that time, he will be seeking us out, and it will be easier for the Young Master to approach him."

Uncle Zheng explained. Having followed the Tuoba Family for nearly a thousand years and served many Young Masters, he had encountered various geniuses and handled all sorts of matters. He could analyze the Young Masters’ thoughts instantly. The other guards, however, were somewhat inexperienced and needed his constant guidance to understand. But this was his duty, as he too had been taught this way. The Tuoba Family had thrived in the Star Ruins Realm for one hundred thousand years, thanks to the leadership and inheritance passed down from one generation to another.

Watching the guards nod one after another, he sat down beside Tuoba Jin to serve as his protector.

Humble enough to offer a Token to a stranger. Brave enough to venture deeper to comprehend the Origin of the Black Iron Desert after surviving the black iron storm. Observant, bold-hearted, and sincere. Uncle Zheng thought. The Young Master Tuoba he was accompanying this time, although currently only at the Mixed Element Breath Realm, may have a future that surpasses those from his family who have already reached the Forget Self Realm, becoming even more dazzling.

「In the distance.」

After this minor episode, Jiang Shu carefully examined the Token to ensure there were no marks on it before finally putting it into his Storage Bag. He followed Master Cangwu and the God of Ten Thousand Beasts toward the outskirts.

"Jiang Shu, the Tuoba Family, I know a little about them," said the God of Ten Thousand Beasts. "They hail from Tuoba Star and possess barbarian bloodlines, naturally endowing them with immense physical strength."

"Of course, such physical strength is insignificant in the vast Universe. So, during a chance opportunity, their Clan Leader ventured into an Extraordinary Planet with a technologically advanced civilization and enslaved the entire planet."

"They developed a large number of Genetic Potions tailored to their barbarian bloodlines, resulting in batches of genetically enhanced warriors. Meanwhile, the geniuses of that planet continued to cultivate the Spirit Path to strengthen their weaker aspects."

"Over time, Tuoba Star became more and more powerful. Eventually, they established Tuoba City on the periphery of the Star Ruins Realm. Inside the city lies the Star Gate to Tuoba Star."

Along the way, the God of Ten Thousand Beasts shared this knowledge with Jiang Shu. Having spent a short while in Tuoba City, he had a considerable understanding of both the family and the city.

"To build a large city over a Star Gate is a common practice among the mighty who emerge from Star Gates. It not only protects their own planet but also allows the cosmic powerhouses within the city to enter the planet for exploration or to temper themselves."

"After all, a City Lord capable of establishing such a great city must be at least a powerhouse of the Forget Realm, having already refined the planet’s Origin. There are countless precious places inside, although not as many as in the Star Ruins Realm. However, it is safer, and many powerhouses are willing to enter and cultivate there to enhance themselves," he explained.

"So that’s how it is." Jiang Shu nodded, his understanding of the Star Ruins Realm deepening.

Every great city here represents a planet’s civilization that has struggled for tens of thousands of years. The victors earn the right to establish their great cities here. The losers have their planetary civilizations enslaved long ago. Just as the Tuoba Family enslaved the civilization of the technologically advanced planet to develop Genetic Potions, strengthening the warriors of Tuoba Star for their entire existence.

This is the true Universe. Either you enslave others, or be enslaved by others. Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes. From the moment the Star Gate appeared, he had no other choice. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The Black Iron Desert, on the periphery of the Star Ruins Realm, is clearly also a treasure trove, with many adventurers entering to comprehend its Origin. The Star Gate to Xuanxing was very likely to be discovered. If he wanted to eradicate this peril once and for all, he would have to follow the example of the Tuoba Family and establish a great city on the Black Iron Desert to completely protect Xuanxing. Then, he could move every person from Xuanxing to another civilized planet and refine Xuanxing itself. His strength would surely undergo a qualitative improvement. He might even be able to reach the Forget Realm directly! Of course, it was still too early to discuss such matters. The cosmic battleship on Xuanxing couldn’t be developed independently yet, nor had he found a planet capable of nurturing civilization. All of this required time. Unless he could bring back some technological data from the cities in the Star Ruins Realm to accelerate the technological advancement of Xuanxing.

With this thought, Jiang Shu turned his head and asked, "God of Ten Thousand Beasts, are there any other cities near the Black Iron Desert, aside from Tuoba City? Preferably a city whose civilization is related to technology."
