Great God Zilun, seeing the conversation had reached this point, spoke candidly, “There are many talents on Silver Universe Star, and through generations, these talents have formed a force known as the ‘Heavenly Pride Pavilion.’ It’s a loosely organized entity of the Heavenly Prides, not strictly a power in itself, but many talents are associated with it. Progressing further is tough for them, and the Pavilion holds numerous resources and legacies that are very beneficial. Moreover, it’s a place for top forces to contend. Once a talent from a subordinate force makes a name in the Pavilion, it benefits that force significantly.”
“Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws, as an outsider martial warrior on Silver Universe Star, you have no deep roots here and progressing further might be challenging. You probably aren’t even aware of the strength divisions above the rank of ‘Heavenly Pride.’ But once you’re associated with Heavenly Pride Pavilion, you can easily access a lot of useful information and legacies, and even compete with many other talents. The Pavilion has many great opportunities and legacies to offer. Without an association, you wouldn’t have a chance to access them. My main reason for approaching you is to hope that when you associate yourself with Heavenly Pride Pavilion, you do it under the banner of Qingfeng Giant City.”
After Zilun finished speaking, he awaited Ye Tian’s response.
“Associate with Qingfeng Giant City?” Ye Tian pondered for a while and then asked, “What benefits would this bring to Qingfeng Giant City and to me?”
Zilun explained, “There are numerous benefits for Qingfeng Giant City. Due to certain special reasons, some opportunities are only available to cities that have a ‘Heavenly Pride.’ Even if we don’t invite you, other giant cities will. In short, Qingfeng Giant City stands to gain a lot. As for the benefits to you, the Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws, I can offer you a few choices. The first is a batch of resources and treasures. The second option is the ownership of a small planetary system. You could become the lord of a small planetary system. For the forces of Silver Universe Star and Qingfeng Giant City, this is not difficult to achieve. Or, if you have other demands, feel free to state them.”
“I could own a small planetary system?” Ye Tian was astonished.
The value of a small planetary system was immense. Controlling one could bring numerous benefits!
“Exactly!” said Zilun. “The Milky Way is vast, containing countless small planetary systems. The nine primary stars have absolute authority. Apart from these, other planetary systems are mostly under the territories of various empires, but these royal families are generally manipulated by us, the major forces of the nine primary stars. To us, a small planetary system is just a tiny place. I proposed this offer guessing you might be from a small planetary system and would value this condition.”
Zilun’s guess was correct. Ye Tian indeed came from a small planetary system—the Solar System. He had learned during his time in the Centauri Planetary System that the Solar System, Centauri, and many others were under the domain of an empire—the Sun Wheel Empire. However, the Sun Wheel Empire was only the nominal ruler. The real territory of the Sun Wheel Empire only included the Sun Wheel Planetary System, and they hardly managed other systems.
This was why a small planetary system like the Solar System went unnoticed. After all, crossing planetary systems was troublesome. Moreover, due to covert interference from forces like the Glory Pavilion over the years, the Solar System remained under the radar.
However, if any powerful force desired to occupy the Solar System, Earth would be in danger, likely becoming a colony of a powerful force, making life difficult for Earthlings.
Now, hearing Zilun’s offer, Ye Tian was immediately intrigued. If he claimed the Solar System, other forces in the Milky Way would definitely not dare to meddle with it, not wanting to antagonize Silver Universe Star.
“Any planetary system?” Ye Tian inquired.
“Not exactly!” Zilun replied with a smile. “We can’t arrange for planetary systems under the control of certain powerful entities. But we can give you some unallocated planetary systems or those under smaller forces.”
“Can you give me the Solar System?” Ye Tian asked.
“Let me check the Solar System,” Zilun responded, waving his hand to conjure a virtual frame.
He opened a map of the Milky Way, typed in ‘Solar System,’ and there it was!
The Solar System appeared on the map, located on the edge of the Milky Way.
“I found it. The Solar System is on the edge of this region of the Milky Way. The value of such small systems is not high, and the Solar System is currently under the Sun Wheel Empire, a minor empire. Moreover, the Solar System is an unclaimed system. If you want it, our Qin family can arrange to transfer it under your name!” Zilun assured.
“Alright, I’ll take the Solar System. As long as you handle this, I’m willing to associate with Heavenly Pride Pavilion under the banner of Qingfeng Giant City. How about that?”
Ye Tian said, “Alright!”
Great God Zilun, smiled broadly, having reached an agreement with Ye Tian. “Take this, the Heavenly Pride Order of Qingfeng Giant City. With this Order, when you register at the Heavenly Pride Pavilion, it will prove that you are a Heavenly Pride from Qingfeng Giant City, representing us.”
Zilun handed over a token, which Ye Tian accepted. The front of the Heavenly Pride Order had the word ‘Heavenly Pride’ inscribed, and the back bore the word ‘Qingfeng.’
“Where is the Heavenly Pride Pavilion?” Ye Tian inquired.
Great God Zilun replied, “There are Heavenly Pride Pavilion branches on all nine supercontinents of Silver Universe Star, but the headquarters is located on Silver Universe Continent. We also have a branch of Heavenly Pride Pavilion here on our Tianzhan Continent, located in the main city of Tianzhan! Qingfeng Giant City has a teleportation array leading directly to the main city of Tianzhan. If you wish to go now, I can take you to the Heavenly Pride Pavilion branch.”
“I’ll wait a bit longer,” Ye Tian thought for a moment and then said.
Understanding Ye Tian’s intention, Zilun responded, “Alright, I’ll arrange everything in the next few days. It shouldn’t take long for the Solar System to be transferred under your name. We can go to Heavenly Pride Pavilion then.”
“Thank you, Zilun,” Ye Tian said, bowing his fists in gratitude before leaving.
After Ye Tian’s departure, the City Lord’s Mansion dispatched a God-level emissary from Silver Universe Star to handle the matter of the Solar System.
Five days later, in the Sun Wheel Empire of the Sun Wheel Planetary System, inside a palace,
A corpulent middle-aged man was enjoying a dance performed by a group of beautiful women. He was the current emperor of the Sun Wheel Empire, Emperor Zi Feng. He was a God-level cultivator, albeit a relatively weak one, who had relied on various treasures to reach his level and lacked significant combat strength.
Suddenly, a God-level guard appeared. “Your Majesty, a command has arrived from Silver Universe Star,” the guard announced.
Emperor Zi Feng frowned and dismissed the dancing women.
Alone in the great hall, Emperor Zi Feng asked, “What command? Why would Silver Universe Star send orders to this forsaken place?”
The God-level guard produced a scroll, which unfurled to reveal golden letters forming a command: The Sun Wheel Royal Family is ordered to transfer the Solar System to the Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws, Ye Tian, without resistance, or face annihilation.
“What? A Heavenly Pride wants the Solar System? Hurry, hurry, go take care of it! A mere Solar System, don’t offend a Heavenly Pride and Silver Universe Star!” Emperor Zi Feng became anxious.
He couldn’t afford to offend a Heavenly Pride, and even less so, the powers of Silver Universe Star. Though the Sun Wheel Empire was not weak, it was nothing compared to the powerful sects within its territory, let alone the forces of Silver Universe Star. He knew that those forces could dethrone him with a single word.
The command from Silver Universe Star was not something he could defy. He didn’t want to lose his life over a small Solar System.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” the God-level guard responded.
The Sun Wheel Empire quickly issued an order to transfer the Solar System to the Heavenly Pride of Ten Thousand Laws, Ye Tian, making it his territory. Other forces were forbidden to enter or exit the Solar System without permission.
This matter didn’t cause much stir since many weren’t aware of what the Solar System was. After all, what was noteworthy about a Heavenly Pride wanting a trashy planetary system to play with?
Regardless, from that point on, the Solar System belonged to Ye Tian, bearing the Ye surname!
