Chapter 1074: Recruitment
Chapter 1074: Recruitment
"Greetings, Your Highness Kāya, I am Wen Ge, your guard captain and tutor. You may call me Wen Ge. . . "
Inside Villa No. 1167 in Azure Dragon District, an old man with a flowing beard and an scholarly demeanor bowed to Fang Xi with a hand pressed to his chest.
"Teacher Wen Ge is also a sixth-rank scholar?"
Fang Xi had already reviewed Wen Ge's resume on his smart-brain and couldn't help but smile.
Not only was the other party a Red Giant-level immortal, but also a researcher who had achieved sixth-rank scientific results.
This was already quite remarkable. The Empire divided scholars into nine ranks, with the first rank being the lowest and the ninth rank the highest.
Achieving seventh-rank academic results granted one the qualification to be selected for the Royal Academy of Sciences!
A sixth-rank scholar was already quite rare.
"Haha. . . I merely made some insignificant improvements to the 875th generation Gravity Generator. . ."
Wen Ge beamed, evidently proud of this research achievement.
Then, his expression turned serious: "Your Highness Kāya, I must remind you that as a prince, your satellite-level strength is too low. . . You must know that many laboratory environments are extremely harsh, and satellite-level individuals entering them would perish! Therefore, even for the sake of conducting various high-end research, it is absolutely necessary to quickly increase your strength."
"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher!"
Fang Xi listened reverently.
He could discern whether the other party was setting a trap or offering a genuine, kind reminder.
He had to admit, his cultivation was indeed a bit low.
Currently, most of His Majesty the Emperor's many princes and princesses were at the Planetary-level, with quite a few even being Red Giant-level immortals.
Among the top hundred princes, it was even rumored there were Neutron Star Immortals!
Of course, there wasn't a single Black Hole Immortal.
Otherwise, they would have long been established as the Crown Prince.
"Hmm, you can temporarily set aside the cultivation of combat techniques and other minor branches, and focus on your Golden Core. Once the conditions are met, I will personally accompany Your Highness to select a suitable planet for your advancement to the Planetary-level. . ."
Wen Ge spoke.
"Regarding cultivation matters, I have a question. . ."
Fang Xi inquired: "Is there truly no other realm beyond Black Hole Immortal?"
"This question has always been the most brilliant pearl on the crown of the Royal Academy of Sciences. . . " Wen Ge mused, "There must be other realms beyond Black Hole Immortal. . . And, according to mainstream deductions, it should be related to the high condensation of Concept force. . . Black Hole Immortals will actively absorb Concept force, drawing it into themselves. . . If there were a Black Hole Immortal whose mass, density, and gravity reached their limits, even absorbing all the Concept force of the entire universe into their being, what would happen?"
"Universe. . . Unifier?"
Fang Xi had some realization, followed by a wry smile: "This conjecture is too terrifying. . . If one were to advance to such a realm, wouldn't it mean devouring the entire universe with one's own Black Hole?"
A Black Hole Immortal could absorb Concept force. If one were to absorb the Great Dao of the entire universe, then once they achieved the Dao Venerable realm, they would likely be the most unique and special existence among Dao Venerables.
They could even be called 'Creator Gods', 'Makers'!
Even the Dao Venerables of the True Immortal World would pale in comparison.
After all, True Immortal World Dao Venerables only mastered a single Great Dao, not all of them!
"If this conjecture holds true, the realm beyond Black Hole Immortal in this Great Thousand World might even crush most Dao Venerables?"
After Wen Ge took his leave, Fang Xi lay on the soft sofa, closing his eyes.
Then, his consciousness entered a virtual reality network.
His vision brightened, revealing a nebula.
Countless stars, planets. . . constantly revolved around a galaxy.
"Your Highness Prince Kāya, welcome to the 'Royal Grand Library'!"
A mechanical voice sounded.
The 'Royal Grand Library' had long abandoned the inconvenient storage method of paper books, moving all its data onto the network.
Although Fang Xi already knew this, he was still surprised to see that knowledge required an entire galaxy within a virtual network to be contained.
"A sea of knowledge. . ."
"However, it's perfect for me."
He arrived on a planet and saw countless towering buildings.
Within them, each book was hundreds of meters high, containing countless introductions to universal languages, flesh-and-blood races, mechanical races, psionic races. . .
As well as poetry, painting, sculpture. . . various arts. . .
Naturally, there were also various cultivation secret methods, combat techniques. . .
Even research on various Concept forces. . .
It was simply all-encompassing, lacking nothing.
Fang Xi immediately immersed himself, unaware of the passage of time in the outside world.
"I've been granted access, I can browse everything except the 'Forbidden Book Area'. . ."
Fang Xi directly skipped the poetry, art, geography, and history, heading to the deepest part of this library galaxy.
Whoosh!
A silver-white metal book was opened.
On the title page, lines of patterns seemed to come alive, writhing.
"On the Condensation of the 'Light Concept'? Author: Fēng Xiū Fènghuáng?"
Fang Xi glanced at it, then turned to the next page.
There was no text on this page, only light!
All kinds of light radiated from the page, forming countless brilliant glows. . .
This was similar to the immortal secret seals in the cultivation world, directly expressing various laws through the form of Great Dao true runes.
"Although somewhat superficial, the comprehension of laws has undoubtedly reached the level of law manifestation. . ."
"By the standards of this world, it's considered genius. . ."
Fang Xi flipped a few pages, then picked up a copy of "Concept Compendium" and read it with great interest.
This Royal Grand Library would undoubtedly greatly enrich his foundation. It wasn't in vain that his comprehension of the Dao of All-Heavens Reincarnation had deepened this time; he was born into a good family, practically "born in Rome."
As for the great war ten thousand years later?
Heh heh. . .
Fang Xi hadn't thought that far ahead.
After all, in ten thousand years, he might have already cultivated to become a Black Hole Immortal. . .
"Concept force is the expression of cosmic laws. . . As is well known, once one advances to Black Hole Immortal, they will exert pressure on the Cosmic Origin, causing it to actively bestow the 'Spacetime Concept'. . ."
"This is less of an oppression, and more of an active gift from the Cosmic Origin for 'balance'. . . Balance is supreme, balance is everything!"
"Hmm?"
Fang Xi's heart stirred upon reading this treatise.
"Indeed, from another perspective, if a Black Hole Immortal didn't even possess the 'Spacetime' Concept, that would be truly terrifying. It would instead become an unstable factor in the universe, ultimately disrupting cosmic balance. . . Therefore, the Great Universe Origin actively bestows the 'Spacetime Concept'. . . It's certainly an ingenious line of thought."
"It's a pity this author doesn't seem to be taken seriously by the mainstream. . ."
He inwardly sighed.
Fang Xi originated from the True Immortal World and had a deep understanding of the Heavenly Dao's balance, so it wasn't difficult for him to comprehend.
But for the scientists of this world, it was common sense that Black Holes inherently affected spacetime, making it difficult for them to consider the issue from a holistic cosmic perspective.
"Author—Aarón Fènghuáng?"
"The Phoenix clan truly produces nothing but geniuses. . ."
Fang Xi silently marveled.
"The 'Black Hole Immortals' of this world are comparable in realm to Dao Monarchs, and they are very special 'Spacetime Dao Monarchs', making their combat power outstanding among Dao Monarchs. . ."
"If I advance to 'Black Hole Immortal', my main body would immediately gain a Dao Monarch-level avatar, and one with unparalleled combat power at that. It would truly be a huge gain. . . Moreover, if I break through the realm beyond Black Hole Immortal, couldn't I immediately go to the True Immortal World and seek revenge on those Dao Venerables?"
Fang Xi had never forgotten the enmity of the Spacetime Dao Venerable and the Yin Yang Dao Venerable who had tried to obstruct him when his main body was proving its Dao.
"Although Dao Venerables are not unique, if there are multiple Dao Venerables of the same Great Dao, it would undoubtedly lead to a decrease in their control over that Great Dao. . . Therefore, many Dao Venerables regard their own Great Dao as forbidden territory, not allowing other Dao Monarchs to touch it. . ."
"If another 'Spacetime Dao Venerable' suddenly appeared in the True Immortal World, then the original, most ancient 'Spacetime Dao Venerable', even if they didn't fall in realm, would certainly suffer a great loss in strength. . ."
Fang Xi had never truly taken the Yin Yang Dao Venerable seriously.
However, that Spacetime Dao Venerable was an extremely ancient existence, and mastered the exceedingly auspicious Spacetime Great Dao, which still made him slightly wary.
"Even if I can't get revenge this time, once my main body controls the 'Dao of All-Heavens Reincarnation' and achieves the All-Heavens Reincarnation Dao Venerable realm, I will be able to refine Dao Fruits and surely achieve my revenge!"
"Or. . . should I just continue to coast along like a slacker?"
After some thought, Fang Xi ultimately continued to immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge. . .
...
Azure Dragon District, Villa No. 569.
A jade-like arm, barely covered by a translucent black gauze, picked up a stemmed glass of wine.
Purple-red lips delicately sipped the liquid, carrying a hint of allure.
"I heard. . . we have another brother?"
The owner of the jade hand lay languidly on the sofa, with two rows of trembling maidservants standing by her side.
On the other sofas, several imposing men with blood-red hair and golden single horns were seated.
They wore magnificent formal attire, and their aura was astonishing, having reached the Planetary-level.
"Indeed, the ten thousand sixty-ninth. . . He's taking the scientist path, seems to have no ambition."
Prince Nine Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Seven swirled his wine glass, chuckling softly.
"The scientist path, huh? That's truly difficult. . . It seems he's worth recruiting."
Another prince's face showed admiration: "Back when I was in the initial trial, I once thought about building a spaceship, but its engine was damaged in a major battle. . . In the end, I flayed the guy who dared to damage my engine alive. . ."
"I heard this younger brother is only satellite-level, and because he's unwilling to harm his home planet, he hasn't even advanced to Planetary-level yet. . ."
The princess in black gauze stretched languidly: "That's a huge character weakness, so Father Emperor won't favor him. . . But, as a logistics and support asset, he's quite competent, and there's a chance he could enter the Royal Academy of Sciences. He's worth trying to recruit. . ."
