Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Jelena said, "Lord Father, the matter of Princess Longyu is no small thing. What do you intend to do?"

"What do you think?"

"I believe you must be decisive. Since Princess Mingyu is destined to become her past self, it would be better to send her to the Mingyu Divine Country sooner rather than later, in exchange for tangible benefits! Women... they only slow down your path to power, don’t they?"

"Perhaps."

Wang Yi, however, shook his head. His rational mind told him that Jelena was right.

He could care less about the Ming King, but he couldn’t be indifferent toward Li Longyu.

He believed he had feelings for Li Longyu.

’Reincarnation is a profound and unpredictable matter. Ultimately, are the past and present lives one and the same, or are they two separate people? If Yu’Er gains her past memories, will she truly become the Ming King? And if she does, will she still have the thoughts she has now? Will she no longer know me?’

Wang Yi felt troubled. He thought his wife had a wonderful personality and an independent spirit. He wanted to protect her. To stand by and watch as the Ming King’s consciousness devoured her would be an act of cruelty.

What was the difference between sending her away and sending her to her death?

’This world is vast and boundless. Perhaps there is a Dual Perfection Technique out there—a way to save both the Ming King and my Yu’Er. So be it. I’ll watch over Yu’Er and protect her until I can no longer.’

As Wang Yi silently pondered, he resolved to gather information on the mechanics of reincarnation. At the very least, he had to try and find a Dual Perfection Technique.

A moment later, Wang Yi left Jelena and the others behind. Taking Li Longyu with him, he went to Yamero Star to replenish his Chaos Energy. They rode the Bronze Horse Carriage, sightseeing and exploring the star.

During this time, Wang Yi carefully observed Li Longyu’s condition. He could sense the terror she felt inside, a fear she desperately tried to hide from him.

「Three days later.」 Wang Yi continued his journey of ecological restoration, heading alone to the "World of Resentful Spirits."

The World of Resentful Spirits was the third Newbie World Wang Yi had carefully explored, after Valon World and Sea Power World.

He spent five full days exploring this Newbie World, traveling across its many mountains and rivers, and performing Refinement on two mountain peaks.

These two mountain peaks were named "Copper Pot" and "Flying Dragon"!

Copper Pot Mountain held a unique wonder. A mist perennially rose from it, carrying a natural fragrance that was refreshing and could dispel fatigue. The mountain produced "Fragrant Soil," which could be used to create spices and incense.

Copper Pot Mountain possessed no Spirit Veins, but when Wang Yi moved it to his territory, it surprisingly began to influence its surroundings, greatly restoring the Flower and Fruit Ecosystem.

As for Flying Dragon Mountain, it contained six Spirit Veins. These veins manifested physically, gathering subterranean springs to form six waterfalls that cascaded down the peak, resembling six flying dragons.

When Flying Dragon Mountain also took root in his territory, the Flower and Fruit Ecosystem finally recovered enough to undergo a transformation. The Flower Fruit Tree’s [Flowers and Fruit Flourishing] ability unlocked, and the entire Huaguo Mountain Territory was once again filled with blossoms and fruit, its beautiful scenery restored.

Of course, Wang Yi wasn’t satisfied. He soon headed to a fourth Newbie World: the Peach Blossom Spring World!

「On that same day, in the Alien Star World.」 High above the Royal City-like Crystal Main City, a woman in a white dress appeared inside a Crystal Castle.

The Crystal Castle was majestic and immense, sparkling brilliantly. It contained great halls, long corridors, grand lobbies, secret passages, open-air terraces, and theaters for song and dance. With over fifty thousand rooms, it housed more than ten thousand people—a massive, man-made structure.

If such a structure were on Earth Star, it would undoubtedly be called an incredible wonder of the world. Its level of architecture was beyond anything people could imagine.

But as the woman in the white dress surveyed the Crystal Castle, she gave a one-word evaluation: "Gaudy!"

She moved through the Crystal Castle as if a ghost, able to go anywhere. It seemed no one else could even see her.

At the very top of the Crystal Castle sat a smaller one, which was Feng Qi’s residence.

Lately, Feng Qi had been in an extremely foul mood.

’That detestable Golden Lion Venerable, could he have been lying to me? He vanished and never reappeared. He promised double compensation from the Divine Country for my territory’s losses, but where is it? And then there’s Black Dragon Venerable and Immortal Zhenyuan! They fought to the death here, wrecked the place, and then just took off without a care in the world. Why did I have to suffer through all that? Now the Waga Royal Court is closing in. What am I supposed to do?’

Feng Qi angrily tore up a letter.

It was a formal demand of surrender sent from the Waga Royal Court.

Of course, Feng Qi had no intention of surrendering to the Waga Royal Court, but she no longer had the power to confront them head-on.

’Too many Exotic Star Centipedes have died...’

Feng Qi muttered to herself. In truth, more painful than the deaths of the Exotic Star Centipedes was the destruction of her spaceship incubation base. Her Alien Star Royal Court could no longer produce new Cosmic Spaceships. If this continued, the consequences would be dire.

"Your territory has its merits."

A voice suddenly spoke from beside Feng Qi.

Feng Qi was startled. She spun around to see the woman in the white dress.

"I am the Lord of the Mingyu Divine Country. They call me the Mingyu Divine Lord."

The woman in the white dress spoke lightly, "I can support your Alien Star Royal Court. From this day forward, you will be under the protection of my Mingyu Divine Country. Are you willing?"

"What? You’re the Mingyu Divine Lord!"

Feng Qi was stunned. She scrutinized the woman before her. Although she couldn’t see any identity information, she had a feeling the woman wasn’t lying. After a brief hesitation, Feng Qi immediately fell to her knees. "Feng Qi of the Alien Star Royal Court pays her respects to the Divine Lord! Thank you, Divine Lord, for taking me in!"

"Rise. We’re all Players. I just entered the game a bit earlier than you."

The Mingyu Divine Lord waved her hand dismissively. "The Mingyu Divine Country follows the Mystic path, focusing on Cultivation. I see your territory’s architecture is quite eclectic. I’m not sure which path you intend to follow."

"In response to the Divine Lord, this humble one originally intended to follow the ecological path. Unfortunately, the necessary structures are difficult to obtain, so the territory’s ecological Evolution has been slow. As a result, its development is now a complete mishmash."

"The ecological path..."

The Mingyu Divine Lord narrowed her eyes. "The Eco-School has risen to prominence recently, and it certainly has its merits. However, to this day, there is only half an Eco Divine Country. In terms of overall strength, there’s still a huge gap compared to the three major factions. If you wish to follow the ecological path, I can support you with some Divine Tree Seeds. They may allow your territory’s ecosystem to achieve Evolution."

"Divine Tree Seeds?" Overjoyed, Feng Qi hastily bowed in thanks.

"However, the main reason I’m supporting you is because of your Starlight Gate Talent. It’s an S-Class Talent, incredibly rare, and has strategic applications. I hope you can use this Talent to do a few things for me."

"I am at the Divine Lord’s command!"

"Good. I need you to open the Starlight Gate now. The coordinates are Y2025, M1026, L2340, X3791."

"Yes!"

Feng Qi immediately set about creating the Starlight Gate.

The Starlight Gate was her unique Talent. As long as she had the spatial coordinates, she could create a portal.

But soon, Feng Qi’s brow furrowed. She bowed to the Mingyu Divine Lord and said, "My Divine Lord, these coordinates... could they be mistaken?"

"They should be correct. Why? Can’t you create the Starlight Gate?"

"I dare not conceal this from you. After I entered the coordinates you provided, the system indicated that the destination is over a billion light-years away. Furthermore, it is not an open territory, making it difficult to establish a Starlight Gate!"

"Over a billion light-years away!"

Even the Mingyu Divine Lord couldn’t help but frown.

’How can it be so far? What trick did that kid use to hide my little sister over a billion light-years away? It seems I’ll have to find another way to see her.’

The Mingyu Divine Lord made a few gestures with her fingers, as if performing a divination. After a moment, she said to Feng Qi, "Try these coordinates: T3708, Y1025, S2349, J3908."

"Yes!"

Feng Qi tried again, but quickly shook her head. "My Divine Lord, these coordinates correspond to a Newbie World called Peach Blossom Spring World. Its world barrier is still active, making it difficult to establish a Starlight Gate! However, it’s not very far. By using other Starlight Gates to jump, I can arrive just outside the Peach Blossom Spring World in less than an hour."

"Peach Blossom Spring World? Is that kid just zipping all over the universe?" The Mingyu Divine Lord snorted. "Then make the jump. Get there as quickly as you can!"
