I Have an All-Knowing Mirror

Chapter 125: I Know a Little Bit About Everything

After bidding farewell to Su Yuan, Fu Qingcheng quickly returned to the Capital City.

"Pavilion Master, I have met with Gang Leader Wu," Fu Qingcheng reported respectfully, standing before the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion.

The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion was a First-Rank Master, and also one of the strongest among the Imperial Citizen Players.

A First-Rank Master possessed a combat bonus of over six thousand percent—a sixty-fold increase in battle power. Their mental Will was terrifying to the extreme, having reached the point where it could physically interfere with the outside world.

Battles between First-Rank Masters were no longer limited to the clash of martial techniques and the energies of heaven and earth. They were a collision of mental Wills.

In reality, First-Rank Masters were often experts in the Mid-Realm of Starry Sky Lifeforms.

The Starry Sky Lifeform stage was divided into three levels.

The Initial-Realm, the Mid-Realm, and the Post-Realm.

Among them, the Post-Realm was also known as the Peak Starry Sky Life Form.

The Mid-Realm of a Starry Sky Lifeform might seem like just a minor realm away from the Initial-Realm, but the difference in power was like heaven and earth.Normally speaking, an Initial-Realm Starry Sky Lifeform had virtually no ability to resist when facing a Mid-Realm Starry Sky Lifeform.

And the gap between the Mid-Realm and a Peak Starry Sky Life Form was even wider.

A Peak Starry Sky Life Form possessed the absolute power to completely destroy a living planet.

It meant total annihilation, not just wiping out the surface.

"How did it go?"

The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion looked at Fu Qingcheng.

"I have promised to recruit Gang Leader Wu using three Superior-grade Martial Arts Manuals."

Fu Qingcheng lowered his voice. "Gang Leader Wu's strength is far above our estimates. He hasn't just entered the Third Rank; he is an expert at the Second Rank."

"A Second Rank expert?"

The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion finally showed interest. "Didn't they say he only broke through to the Third Rank not long ago?"

"I sparred with Gang Leader Wu. His strength has undoubtedly crossed into the Second Rank,"

Fu Qingcheng replied, a hint of confusion surfacing in his tone.

"I see."

The Pavilion Master pondered for a moment before nodding. "It seems this Gang Leader Wu is an extraordinary genius in reality. He must have accumulated a profound foundation during his Planetary Lifeform stage, allowing him to advance by leaps and bounds even after stepping into the Starry Sky Lifeform realm."

Fu Qingcheng listened quietly.

He knew the Pavilion Master held a prominent status in reality and was privy to many hidden secrets.

"The Universe is vast and boundless. Leaving aside those Beyond Comprehension alien races, geniuses emerge endlessly within our human race alone. The most top-tier geniuses Fully Comprehend a specific Cosmic Force during the Planetary Lifeform stage. Upon breaking through to become a Starry Sky Lifeform, they completely bypass the Initial-Realm and step straight into the Mid-Realm..."

The Pavilion Master's tone was filled with profound emotion.

"Fully Comprehending a Cosmic Force during the Planetary Lifeform stage?"

Fu Qingcheng blinked in astonishment.

As a Starry Sky Lifeform himself, he was naturally in the process of comprehending a Cosmic Force.

But the deeper he delved into it, the more he realized the grueling difficulty of Fully Comprehending it.

And this was based on the processing speed granted by the Physical Body and Soul strength of a Starry Sky Lifeform.

When Fu Qingcheng was merely a Planetary Lifeform, he had absolutely no idea what Cosmic Force even was.

"These are the absolute pinnacle geniuses of our human race. They might be the direct descendants of a Saint, or a highly talented member of the Royal Family from an advanced cosmic human empire. From the moment they are born, they receive oceans of resources for their cultivation. We simply cannot compare to them..."

The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion said, shaking his head.

Fu Qingcheng nodded in agreement.

For an Initial-Realm Starry Sky Lifeform to step into the Mid-Realm, they had to Fully Comprehend a certain Cosmic Force.

This monumental goal, which typically required an Initial-Realm Starry Sky Lifeform thousands or even tens of thousands of years of bitter cultivation, had already been achieved by those true pinnacle geniuses while they were still mere Planetary Lifeforms.

"Alright, you have done well with the task of recruiting Gang Leader Wu,"

The Pavilion Master said, looking at Fu Qingcheng.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master. I shall take my leave now."

Fu Qingcheng bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Only after Fu Qingcheng left did the Pavilion Master's expression turn solemn.

'An extra Second Rank expert might just be of some help to that plan...'

The Pavilion Master thought silently, a sudden sense of urgency welling up within him.

'I originally intended to wait a few years before making an attempt. But now, it seems I cannot afford to wait that long.'

The Pavilion Master's gaze deepened. As time passed, the profound effects of the Martial Arts Manuals from the Broken Void World were gradually spreading among the Imperial Citizen Players.

Consequently, the number of Imperial Citizen Players entering the Broken Void World had skyrocketed over the last two months.

A massive surge in Player numbers, drawing in large swaths of Planetary Lifeforms, Starry Sky Lifeforms, and even Mid-Realm Starry Sky Lifeform experts, would undoubtedly interfere with his plans.

After all, no matter what game it was, players were always the most unpredictable variable. Who knew what those players might end up doing?

Blue Star, Xia Nation.

Su Yuan strolled down the bustling streets of Modu.

'The current Blue Star...' Su Yuan cast a single glance outward, his immense perception taking in every minute detail of the entire city of Modu.

Ever since the inspector from the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire finished their assessment and Blue Star signed the Contract with the empire, the planet had accelerated its integration into the Universe.

"Master."

Right at that moment, the voice of AI Xiaolan suddenly rang out.

"Director Zhou has an urgent matter to discuss with you."

"I understand," Su Yuan nodded.

Director Zhou, having been pushed to the forefront by Su Yuan as Blue Star's public ruler, naturally had a method to contact him directly.

Across the present-day Blue Star, Xiaolan continued to secretly monitor everything.

The core code of the AI Xiaolan was derived by Su Yuan from a fraction of the information matrix of the three great advanced cosmic human empires. Thus, she possessed near-infinite growth potential within digital networks.

When Blue Star began connecting with the Universe and its local networks linked to the Canglan Empire's Virtual Network, the vast majority of Xiaolan's computing power dove directly into the imperial Virtual Network.

By now, she had grown to heights far beyond what she was just a few months ago.

Bypassing the network intelligences established by the empire to monitor every single detail on Blue Star was child's play for her.

'It is a pity the virtual information matrix of the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire is far too powerful. Xiaolan cannot reveal herself just yet.' Su Yuan shook his head slightly.

Currently, Xiaolan was secretly absorbing and learning everything she could from the Virtual Network of the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire.

She dared not let the virtual information matrix detect her presence.

Xia Nation, Imperial Capital, inside the highest-security classified office.

Director Zhou sat rigidly upright. He had already contacted the Lord and was now anxiously awaiting Su Yuan's reply.

Hum— Right then, the Projection Device screen nearby lit up, displaying a Cartoon Character Image.

"Lord."

Seeing this, Director Zhou immediately knew Su Yuan had arrived.

Or rather, Su Yuan's gaze was now fixed upon his side.

"Lord, before the imperial inspector came to assess us, there were many factions seeking to establish a presence on Blue Star, but you rejected them all..."

Director Zhou swiftly cut to the chase. "Now, those factions have returned to Blue Star, once again expressing their desire to settle here. The conditions they are offering far exceed the previous ones..."

Even before Blue Star had signed the Contract with the empire, numerous powers had wanted to sink their roots into the planet.

At that time, although Blue Star's application to be incorporated under imperial administration had been approved, no one knew what tier of Contract they would ultimately sign with the empire.

It was a complete unknown.

Therefore, those factions looking to establish a foothold had shamelessly demanded exorbitant terms. Not only did they refuse to pay entry fees, but they also turned around and demanded money from Blue Star. After all, having these powers stationed there would undeniably benefit the planet's development.

Back then, Blue Star had been entirely ignorant of the broader universal workings. Director Zhou had even been tempted; successfully reeling in the branch offices of a few major factions to station on Blue Star seemed like it would only bring advantages.

However, the matter had ultimately been vetoed by Su Yuan.

He had temporarily halted all cooperation and settlement negotiations with extraterrestrial factions.

This decision had sparked immense dissatisfaction among those alien powers, who simply waited to watch Blue Star bitterly regret their arrogance in the future.

But when the imperial inspector concluded the assessment and Blue Star signed an A-Rank Contract, securing the empire's key support and massive investments...

Those extraterrestrial factions were instantly left dumbfounded.

An A-Rank Contract? Hundreds, perhaps thousands of living planets combined might not even produce a single one.

Having signed an A-Rank Contract, Blue Star was destined for unparalleled prosperity, guaranteed to become one of the central hubs of the neighboring star systems.

Under these circumstances, the earlier one established a presence on Blue Star, the greater the exponential benefits they would reap in the future.

"I have already sent you the settlement requirements and the Contract drafts. Proceed exactly as written."

Su Yuan naturally knew what question Director Zhou wanted to ask and had his answers prepared long ago.

Regarding Blue Star's development, Su Yuan had already formulated an intricate, detailed plan. Under this blueprint, Blue Star would smoothly and prosperously flourish.

"Understood."

Director Zhou briefly skimmed the settlement requirements Su Yuan had sent him, and his brow couldn't help but twitch wildly.

These settlement demands were undoubtedly treating those extraterrestrial factions like fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Calling it extortionate pricing would not be an exaggeration. Would those alien factions truly agree to this?

"They will agree."

Before Director Zhou could even voice his doubts, Su Yuan's voice echoed out. "Go and sign the settlement Contracts according to those exact terms."

"Yes, sir!"

Director Zhou immediately affirmed.

Moments later, the nearby Projection Device screen dimmed.

Over the next two hours.

Director Zhou thoroughly studied the settlement requirements and Contracts Su Yuan had provided.

'To have the Lord guiding us... It truly is a blessing for Blue Star.'

Director Zhou couldn't help but sigh with deep emotion. The settlement demands and Contracts were exceptionally hostile toward those extraterrestrial factions.

And being hostile to those factions naturally meant they were incredibly advantageous for Blue Star.

If those alien powers were genuinely willing to sign such Contracts, it would serve as a massive driving force for Blue Star's future development.

'Lord...'

The more Director Zhou thought about it, the deeper his gratitude toward Su Yuan grew.

From the moment Su Yuan first appeared and demanded Xia Nation's cooperation up until now.

Who knew how many catastrophic pitfalls he had helped Xia Nation—and by extension, the entire Blue Star—avoid?

Many of those traps had appeared completely ordinary at the time, failing to raise even the slightest alarm.

But looking back now, it was enough to make Director Zhou break out in a cold sweat. Without Su Yuan, Xia Nation wouldn't have even been able to stand against The Truth Society. How could they possibly be in their current position, with countless extraterrestrial factions begging at their doorstep to move in?

After instructing Director Zhou.

Su Yuan returned to the North Pole continent.

The reason he had repeatedly aided Blue Star was entirely because the planet had now effectively become his private property.

The treasury of the Blue Star Alliance was directly tied to a Canglan Cosmic Human Empire bank account controlled by Su Yuan. All future revenues generated by Blue Star would essentially flow straight into his own pockets.

As for Director Zhou and the other High-Ranking Officials of Blue Star, they were more or less equivalent to Su Yuan's subordinates.

'At this rate of development, within ten years, Blue Star will provide me with an annual income of eighty million Azure Surge Coins. After a decade, once Blue Star has fully developed, it will provide four hundred million Azure Surge Coins every single year...'

Su Yuan thought to himself.

The main reason Blue Star held such tremendous economic value was due to the immense investment and backing from the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire.

With the help of the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire and Su Yuan's covert maneuvering, Blue Star was gradually shifting its classification from a resource-mining planet to a highly popular tourist destination.

This was the absolute best development path for any world. A resource-mining planet? No matter how abundant the resources, there would come a day when they were entirely depleted. Once the resources were mined dry, how would the planet survive?

But as a tourist planet, as long as they could attract hordes of Imperial Citizens to visit Blue Star, why would they ever worry about a lack of wealth?

Why were those alien factions so desperate to settle on Blue Star? It was simply because Blue Star was poised to become the location with the highest concentration of Imperial Citizens among the neighboring planets.

The Virtual Network world.

Inside his Personal Space.

Su Yuan leaned back in his chair.

A moment later.

A figure suddenly materialized a short distance away.

It was none other than Ye Kunlun.

"Greetings, Lord." Ye Kunlun looked visibly thrilled, barely daring to look Su Yuan directly in the eye.

This was his very first time meeting Su Yuan face-to-face. Even though this meeting was taking place in the Virtual Network, and even though the Lord standing before him might not be wearing his true appearance...

Ye Kunlun still felt an incomparable surge of exhilaration.

Leading Xia Nation to overthrow The Truth Society, resolving the threat of the Interstellar Colonial Ship, suppressing the Multieye Civilization... all of it, and more, had been orchestrated by Su Yuan.

A figure like this—for Blue Star—had never existed in the past, did not exist anywhere else in the present, and had a high probability of never existing again in the future.

"Mn."

Su Yuan swept his gaze over Ye Kunlun.

The Virtual Network kept personal information strictly confidential. Meeting Ye Kunlun here carried absolutely no hidden risks.

In truth, given Su Yuan's level of control, even if he met Ye Kunlun in reality, there wouldn't be any risks within the next century. Only after a hundred years would it potentially cause some minor troubles.

"How goes your cultivation in the 'Infinite Bloodline' world?"

Su Yuan asked casually.

"Lord, the 'Infinite Bloodline' world suits me perfectly. I've even joined a sect faction built entirely by cultivators of the Phoenix Bloodline inside the game,"

Ye Kunlun suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied rapidly.

Su Yuan nodded slightly.

For him, the most suitable virtual world for cultivation and evolution was the Broken Void World.

But for Ye Kunlun, absolutely nothing was more perfect than the "Infinite Bloodline" world.

"Bloodline cultivation is fundamentally about excavating your bloodline's Potential. However, you must not immerse yourself in it too blindly..."

Su Yuan casually offered Ye Kunlun some pointers.

This man, Ye Kunlun, was deeply tied to Su Yuan's future schemes and chess moves concerning the Phoenix Clan.

He regarded him rather highly.

Under Su Yuan's guidance...

Ye Kunlun listened, utterly entranced. He felt that even the sect master in the "Infinite Bloodline" world—who had excavated the Phoenix Bloodline to the late stages of a Starry Sky Lifeform and could completely obliterate a living planet—

Had never spoken with such profound depth, nor granted him such sudden, enlightening clarity as Su Yuan just did.

After a long time.

Ye Kunlun finally snapped out of his daze.

"Lord... you really know so much."

Ye Kunlun couldn't help but say. Su Yuan's pointers just now had been far from limited to the Phoenix Bloodline. The core essences of dozens, even hundreds of formidable bloodlines had been laid bare through his guidance.

Su Yuan glanced at Ye Kunlun and smiled faintly.

"I know a little bit about everything."
