Swallowing the Stars: Starting from Late Bloomers

Chapter 019: Planet Lord

The main reason why Kano bought a residence on Zishui Star was because Zishui Star held a relatively important position within the Zichuan Empire, and the price of a manor on Zishui Star was not considered high for a cosmic-level powerhouse like him.

However, since he rarely lives on Purple Water Star, Kano's manor here is not very large, but it is large enough to dock a spaceship.

After parking the spaceship, Kano quickly led Lu Qingshan and Verus to the largest city on Purple Water Star.

At Kano's speed, it didn't take long for him to bring Lu Qingshan and Verus to the vicinity of an enormous city.

The entire city wall glowed with a faint purple light, stretching all the way to the horizon, appearing extremely majestic and imposing.

Beside this enormous city stands a towering skyscraper that reaches into the clouds, constantly shimmering with various lights.

"Disciple, this is Purple Water City!"

Kano looked at the massive city ahead, then explained to Lu Qingshan, "As for the giant tower over there, it's one of the nine communication towers of the Golden Lion Empire within the Scorpio system. Through this tower, you can contact every region within the Golden Lion Starfield!"

"Of course, using the Golden Lion Empire's communication system also costs a lot of money. Even on a planetary scale, few people can afford it for long periods of time. So, people usually use planetary networks or galactic networks for communication. Although this reduces the range of communication, it also reduces the cost significantly!"

"Disciple understands!"

Lu Qingshan quickly nodded in agreement, while feeling a deep sense of awe.

The virtual universe created by the Primordial Ancestor is truly amazing and incredibly important to the human race, even surpassing a supreme treasure in some respects!

After all, it is precisely because of the existence of the virtual universe that the human race can unite as one and gather all life within the human territory into the virtual universe, making communication so fast and convenient.

"We'll head straight to the Imperial Government Office!"

Kano quickly said, "First, let Qingshan join the Golden Lion Empire and obtain citizenship, then apply to purchase Xuanhuang Star!"

"Yes, Master (Ancestor)!"

Lu Qingshan and Verus both responded respectfully, and then took to the air with Kano, heading quickly towards the Golden Lion Empire's government office after entering Purple Water City.

When other pedestrians on the road saw Lu Qingshan and his two companions, they quickly made way for them, and even looked at the leader, Cano, with awe.

Although Purple Water Star is an extremely prosperous planet with many life-bearing beings, and many star-level powerhouses usually live here, cosmic-level powerhouses are still extremely rare.

It's important to understand that if a galaxy develops normally, it might only produce one or two cosmic-level powerhouses within 100,000 years.

Therefore, a cosmic-level powerhouse can be respected no matter where they are!

A moment later, Kano led Lu Qingshan and Verus to a building that looked like a giant golden lion, with two burly men over five meters tall guarding its entrance.

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan and his companions enter, the guards, who had already sensed Kano's strength, offered no obstruction whatsoever. Instead, they warmly and proactively opened the door for them, saying, "Please come in, sir!"

Kano nodded slightly, and then quickly led Lu Qingshan and the other person into the building.

With the enthusiastic guidance of the staff, Lu Qingshan and his two companions quickly arrived at the office where citizenship could be processed.

"Hello, sir!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan and his two companions walk directly into the office, the two uniformed staff members instinctively frowned. However, upon seeing Kano, their faces immediately lit up with warm smiles, and they quickly stood up to greet him, "Sir, is there anything we can do for you?"

Kano glanced at Lu Qingshan behind him, then casually said, "My disciple is going to become a citizen of the Golden Lion Empire!"

"no problem!"

The staff member responded respectfully, then looked at Lu Qingshan and asked, "May I ask what your nationality was before, sir, and whether you have the necessary release paperwork for your original nationality?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "I didn't have a nationality before!"

"Stateless?"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the staff member seemed quite surprised, but after glancing at Kano, they quickly said, "Sir, since you didn't have citizenship before, it's much simpler for you to acquire citizenship of our Golden Lion Empire. Please stay still!"

"Hmm!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, then stood still.

After using the instruments on his arm to detect the virus, the staff quickly confirmed that Lu Qingshan had not previously acquired any nationality.

After paying the relevant fees, Lu Qingshan waited for about half an hour before receiving his own ID card and leaving his record in the Golden Lion Empire's citizen system.

After completing all this, Lu Qingshan and his two companions quickly arrived at the office where the planet was purchased.

Because of the presence of Kano, a cosmic-level powerhouse, the staff were not surprised that Lu Qingshan and his group wanted to buy a planet.

After all, it would be strange for a cosmic-level powerhouse to hand over a newly discovered life-bearing planet directly to the Golden Lion Empire.

After Verus submitted the coordinates, samples, data, and his flight records from his previous arrival at Xuanhuang Star, the staff quickly told Kano, "Sir, as the discoverer of this life-bearing planet named 'Xuanhuang Star,' you are entitled to preferential purchase policies according to Imperial law!"

"Based on the information you provided, you wish to purchase this life-bearing planet named 'Xuanhuang Star,' which requires a payment of 500 billion Golden Lion Coins!"

"good!"

Kano nodded slightly and quickly transferred 500 billion Golden Lion Coins to the account designated by the staff.

The staff member spoke again, saying, "Sir, you need to submit your identity information to become the lord of this life-bearing planet!"

"He is the master of this life-bearing planet!"

Kano immediately turned to look at Lu Qingshan beside him.

Hearing Cano's words, Lu Qingshan was still quite excited, even though he was somewhat prepared.

Immediately, Lu Qingshan bowed to Kano and said, "This disciple thanks you, Master!"

"Hahaha!"

Kano immediately smiled and helped Lu Qingshan up, then continued, "A hometown is extremely important to every strong person. You are my disciple, so naturally I will place your hometown under your name! Alright, now provide them with your identity information!"

"Yes, teacher!"

After listening to Kano's words, Lu Qingshan quickly submitted his identity information to the staff members who were watching him with envy.

After receiving Lu Qingshan's identity information, the staff member quickly spoke again: "Sir, the data you submitted needs to be reviewed by various departments of the Empire. Once its authenticity is confirmed, that life-bearing planet will become your territory!"

"Normally, this process takes between ten and thirty days! But as a cosmic-level powerhouse, sir, we can use the expedited channel, which should complete the process in about one to three days!"

"Alright, let's do it that way!"

Kano nodded slightly, and then left the office with Lu Qingshan and Verus.

After they left, the staff in the office started talking amongst themselves.

"My goodness, that gentleman is only at the planetary level, and he's already the lord of a planet?"

"Yes! Even disciples of cosmic-level powerhouses aren't all capable of becoming planet lords!"

"Judging from what that cosmic-level powerhouse said, that gentleman must have been a native of that newly discovered life-bearing planet, right?"

"It seems very likely!"

"If that's the case, that gentleman is truly fortunate. Not only did he not become a slave, but he also became a disciple of a cosmic-level powerhouse and became the lord of his hometown!"

It's important to understand that any life-bearing planet is extremely precious, even to cosmic-level powerhouses.

Therefore, they were naturally extremely envious that Lu Qingshan, a mere planetary-level being, could become the lord of a life-bearing planet.
