Beep beep beep...
The hatch of the Nutrient Solution cabin, over 6,000 meters tall, opened. Ender, whose body was 2,380 meters tall and who was wearing a fifth-order Force Armor inside and a Cloud Vine battle suit outside, slowly flew out of the Nutrient Solution cabin.
On the ground, three white-robed Immortals, generally about two meters tall, looked up at the mountain-like giant, filled with envy.
Ender looked down at the three ant-like white-robed Immortals below, then activated the Secret Technique "Yuan Heavy Ru Yi Body." His body rapidly shrank visibly, and by the time he flew in front of the three, his height had shrunk to 30 meters.
Whoosh whoosh...
The three white-robed Immortals flashed and flew to Ender's shoulder height. The leading white-robed Immortal said, "Your Highness Ender, where are you going next? The three of us will guide you."
Previously, they had reported the situation here to the higher-ups of the Virtual Universe Company, who instructed them to follow normal procedures. Otherwise, they would have had to invite Ender as a guest.
"I'm returning to the Primal Secret Realm," Ender replied.
He had originally planned to stay at the headquarters for a period, waiting for his f-class spaceship to be built and delivered before returning directly to the Ganwu Universe Country.
However, he had spent too long on the Nutrient Solution cabin enhancement, and he had arranged for his spaceship to be sent to the Primal Secret Realm, so he had no choice but to go back.
"Your Highness, please follow us."
Led by the three white-robed Immortals, Ender boarded a spaceship bound for the Primal Secret Realm.
...
Primal Secret Realm, Wu Chen Continent.
After a period of travel by spaceship, Ender returned to his estate.
"This is my f-class spaceship."
Ender stood on an open grassy area of the estate, looking at the spaceship in front of him, which was about the same size as his body.
This was a prismatic spaceship, over thirty meters long, about ten meters wide, and also about ten meters high at its tallest point. It was entirely dark red with some bright red Law secret patterns, and the secret patterns on its two sharp horns were even more complex.
"This spaceship is only thirty-six meters long. Even at this length, some other F-grade Materials were mixed in during construction. Ultimately, there was simply too little hell alloy to build a larger spaceship."
Ender took out a Puppet from his World Ring that looked and felt exactly like him. He split off a trace of consciousness to control the Puppet, entering the spaceship and circling around, examining all the interior decorations and arrangements.
The interior of the spaceship was elegantly decorated. The control room and the quiet room were at opposite ends, and the middle was divided into two layers: the lower layer was a public lounge area, and the upper layer contained two independent bedrooms.
"The interior decoration is good."
The layout of this spaceship's interior was requested by Ender. Considering that Mullie, the leader of the guard army, would need to protect him closely during his assignment in the Ganwu Universe Country, he specifically designed two bedrooms.
The interior decoration was done by the Virtual Universe Company when building the spaceship, and its taste perfectly matched his understated and elegant aesthetic.
"This spaceship will be called Shadow Dragon."
As a prismatic spaceship, the name 'Shadow Dragon' could suitably contain the character 'shuttle' , but considering that many flying Spirit Weapons are also called 'shuttle,' he abandoned that character.
"Now I can apply to go to the Ganwu Universe Country."
Ender said, submitting his application to go to the Ganwu Universe Country through the Virtual Universe System.
...
The Primal Secret Realm, as an ancient Universe Secret Realm, is incredibly vast and boundless.
On Wu Chen Continent.
Palace complexes stretched endlessly, as far as the eye could see. Successive Geniuses of the Primal Secret Realm had all resided here.
The control center for the entire Wu Chen Continent was a sixty-six-story dark black tower. The lowest floor of the tower was over a thousand kilometers long and wide, and its height reached tens of thousands of kilometers.
This tower controlled a surrounding area of space-time.
In the hall on the 45th floor of the tower, there were densely packed precision instruments and light screens. Around these precision instruments were many silver-clad personnel and a very small number of black-clad uniformed personnel.
"Your Highness Ender is going to leave the Primal Secret Realm by spaceship and head to the Ganwu Universe Country."
A black-clad uniformed staff member said to the many silver-clad personnel, "Immediately authorize Your Highness Ender's spaceship, 'Shadow Dragon.'"
"Yes!"
Hearing the black-clad uniformed staff member's words, several silver-clad personnel began operating on the light screen.
"After Your Highness Ender broke through to the Domain Master Rank, he stayed at the headquarters for over three years, and now he's going to the Ganwu Universe Country shortly after returning."
"I heard that Highness Ender went to the headquarters for Nutrient Solution cabin enhancement. This enhancement took him over three years, consuming tons of Nutrient Solution."
"Given his body size, it's normal for him to consume a lot of Nutrient Solution. For a Prodigy-level Genius like him, who passed the Universe Level Primal Sky Mountain, if he becomes an Immortal in the future, his body height will surely make him an ultimate Pinnacle-stage King-level Immortal among King-level Immortal."
"Indeed! Once he becomes an Immortal, with a Divine Body over three hundred meters tall, he could simply outlast and exhaust opponents of the same rank."
"Over three hundred meters? Haven't you been following the latest news? Your Highness Ender's body height has reached a terrifying three thousand meters!"
"What! Three thousand meters?! That tall!"
Several black-clad uniformed personnel communicated telepathically, all marveling at Ender's body height. Immortals like them paid close attention to body height.
...
Wu Chen Continent Estate.
Ender brought the guard army leader, Mullie, into the Shadow Dragon. They would depart the Primal Secret Realm aboard this spaceship.
"Your Highness, how much did it cost to build this f-class spaceship?"
White-maned werewolf Mullie asked Ender softly after entering the Shadow Dragon.
"My spaceship is one of the more expensive f-class spaceships. The construction cost alone was over seven million Mixed-yuan Units."
With the intelligent optical computer Little Dawn controlling the spaceship, Ender relaxed on the sofa in the lounge area and smiled, "I remember you once said, Mr. Mullie, that you also have an f-class spaceship. How does my Shadow Dragon compare to yours?"
"It can't compare," Mullie sat down in a chair, then shook his head, "My spaceship was built with the most common f-class alloy, costing only a little over ten thousand Mixed-yuan Units in total."
F-grade alloy is relatively cheap, but you need a purchase channel; otherwise, you can only spend a lot to build a spaceship using F-grade Materials.
And in the most common f-grade alloy formula, the most expensive Material is E-grade metal, and not much is used, so f-grade alloy is much cheaper than F-grade metal.
Mullie's strength is at the Pinnacle of Military Lord-level Immortal, and since he serves the Virtual Universe Company, he has channels to purchase f-grade alloy, which is why he could build an f-class spaceship worth ten thousand Mixed-yuan Units.
However, this level of spaceship was already his limit. Any more expensive would require him to reduce his weapon and equipment budget, as the net worth of an ordinary Military Lord-level Immortal is only ten thousand Mixed-yuan Units.
Most of Mullie's net worth was invested in weapons and battle suits that could enhance his strength. Currently, the weapons and battle suits he uses are top-tier sixth-order, and their combined value is tens of thousands of Mixed-yuan Units.
Ender smiled, "You are already at the Pinnacle of Military Lord-level Immortal. Accumulate a bit more time, and you'll be able to Breakthrough to become a Marquis-level Immortal. Once you become a Marquis-level Immortal, it will be easy to get a better f-class spaceship."
"Your Highness is right," Mullie nodded in agreement. The speed at which Marquis-level Immortal accumulate wealth is much faster than Military Lord-level Immortals. An ordinary Marquis-level Immortal's net worth is roughly ten million Mixed-yuan Units, so getting an f-class spaceship worth several hundred thousand Mixed-yuan Units is very easy.
However, after becoming a Marquis-level Immortal, weapons and battle suits will inevitably need to be updated, which requires a large sum of money.
While top-tier sixth-order weapons and battle suits can still be used, a Marquis-level Immortal using such weapons and battle suits would only be slightly stronger than an Immortal who barely achieved Marquis-level.
"Mr. Mullie, if we travel normally by spaceship to the Ganwu Universe Country this time, it will take over three years."
Ender continued, "Three years is too long. I'd like to ask you to take me to the Ganwu Universe Country via Divine Kingdom teleportation."
Mullie replied, "I have a Divine Power token in the Yan Chi Star Domain of the Ganwu Universe Country, so I can directly teleport to the Yan Chi Star Domain."
Divine Kingdom teleportation requires a trace of Immortal Divine Power, because every Immortal is unique, and so is the Divine Power containing their Soul imprint.
Therefore, this allows Immortals to locate themselves via Divine Power tokens, enabling Divine Kingdom teleportation even over very long distances.
"I know Divine Kingdom teleportation consumes a lot of energy. I will give Mr. Mullie 10 Mixed-yuan Units as compensation," Ender said.
"Your Highness is too kind," Mullie shook his head and said, "I've calculated that opening a space channel will cost roughly 3 Mixed-yuan Units, and then teleporting from the Divine Kingdom to the Yan Chi Star Domain in the Ganwu Universe Country will cost about 5 Mixed-yuan Units, totaling 8 Mixed-yuan Units."
Space channels are divided into fixed and temporary.
Establishing a fixed space channel is extremely resource and energy intensive. Even a short-distance fixed space channel requires tens of thousands of Mixed-yuan Units, and the farther the distance, the more resources are needed.
Temporary channels are one-time use, so they require less resource and energy, but even so, opening one costs at least 1 Mixed unit, and similarly, the farther the distance, the more resources and energy are needed.
"It's only 8 Mixed-yuan Units, I can afford that," Mullie said with a smile.
Ever since learning that Ender became a Personal Disciple of an existence even greater than a Universe Venerable, Mullie decided to cling tightly to this powerful connection. When Ender becomes a Powerhouse in the future, he will be an elder-level figure, benefiting endlessly in the future!
"Mr. Mullie, you don't need to be so polite," Ender gently shook his head, "This time, it's me who needs to use Divine Kingdom teleportation. It's impossible for you to pay and exert effort. Give me your bank account, and I'll transfer it to you."
Because Divine Kingdom teleportation is extremely expensive, and the net worth of an ordinary Military Lord-level Immortal is less than 10,000 Mixed-yuan Units, they are accustomed to traveling normally by spaceship.
Unless they encounter an extremely urgent matter or are fleeing for their lives, these ordinary Military Lord-level Immortals are reluctant to use Divine Kingdom teleportation.
After all, each use results in a loss of 0.7% to 1% of their net worth, which is something ordinary Military Lord-level Immortals cannot afford. Only King-level Immortal are willing to use Divine Kingdom teleportation for travel.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness," Mullie thanked him, then gave Ender a bank account.
...
Half a day later.
A dark red prismatic spaceship traversed the endless Star Domain.
"Your Highness," Mullie said, "We have now left the Primal Secret Realm. We can proceed with Divine Kingdom teleportation."
The Primal Secret Realm is a core stronghold of the Virtual Universe Company, and any violent spatial fluctuations could attract the attention of the Virtual Universe Company, so Mullie dared not perform Divine Kingdom teleportation within the Primal Secret Realm.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mullie," Ender nodded gently.
White-maned werewolf Mullie, clad in a dark blue battle suit, stood up. His entire being subtly rippled with a strong Law aura. His eyes gazed into the endless Void. Suddenly, an incredibly dazzling light shone from Mullie's body, instantly spreading out and covering several kilometers of space around them.
The entire Shadow Dragon spaceship was enveloped in this dazzling light.
"Is this Divine Kingdom teleportation...?"
Ender was also enveloped by the dazzling light. Deep within the dazzling light, he vaguely saw a majestic, deep purple palace.
Whoosh!
The entire Shadow Dragon spaceship instantly followed this beam of light, this space channel, and was immediately drawn into the Divine Kingdom.
...
Within the Divine Kingdom of the Immortal "Mullie."
Sitting in the spaceship's lounge area, Ender looked at the beautiful virtual scenery outside and thought to himself, "This Divine Kingdom is truly marvelous, like a continent suspended in the Star Domain."
Amidst ethereal, misty clouds, there was a continent enveloped by a deep purple palace. Most of this continent was covered by forests, with the remaining areas being mountains and lakes.
Mullie stood beside Ender and smiled, "Your Highness, this is my Divine Kingdom."
"It's very beautiful," Ender smiled and nodded.
"Your Highness, the Divine Kingdom is the most important place for an Immortal," Mullie introduced, "So, you must never bring threatening enemies into your Divine Kingdom. Once an enemy is drawn into the Divine Kingdom, it becomes a true battle of life and death."
"Once the Divine Kingdom collapses..." Mullie sighed, "Even if an Immortal fortunately survives, they will never be able to advance further."
Ender nodded upon hearing this.
"Also, Divine Kingdom spatial teleportation must choose a very secluded place, and there must be no other Immortals within a certain range around it."
Mullie said, "Because once a teleportation is performed, the spatial location of the Divine Kingdom will be exposed, and if other Immortals discover where your Divine Kingdom is, that will be a nightmare."
Ender nodded. The Divine Kingdom was almost like the core, the essence, and absolutely could not be exposed!
It was only because of Ender's identity and status that Mullie trusted him so much; otherwise, he would have been stored in a World Ring like other guard army members.
"Your Highness, shall we go to the Ganwu Universe Country now?" Mullie asked.
"Yes, let's depart now," Ender nodded.
Upon hearing this, Mullie's entire body began to emanate a Law aura. At the same time, the deep purple Divine Palace within his Divine Kingdom suddenly condensed its light immensely, forming a pillar of light.
Boom!
The pillar of light shot towards the sky!
And the Shadow Dragon spaceship rapidly flew towards the pillar of light, directly entering the dazzling pillar, then vanished into thin air within the light pillar.
Whoosh!
The ultra-long-distance teleportation was complete, and the dazzling light pillar dissipated.
...
On an unnamed mineral planet in the Yan Chi Star Domain of the Ganwu Universe Country, a dazzling light appeared out of thin air, and a dark red prismatic spaceship materialized.
"Your Highness, we have arrived in the Yan Chi Star Domain of the Ganwu Universe Country," Mullie said.
"Ganwu Universe Country!"
Ender looked at the virtual external scenery, feeling a little emotional. After more than four hundred years away, he had finally returned!
