"This is... a deity coming down to earth to save the suffering!"
"God, God is really manifesting himself, God!"
Before setting off again to the jumping point, everyone in this small caravan - from the passengers to the crew - knelt down and worshiped the vast stars outside, thanking the gods living above the stars for helping them survive the hardship. , escape from death.
The strange things that happened on the merchant ship and the two "Star Shark" class hunter-killer ships really seemed like the work of gods.
On more than a dozen merchant ships, the sudden intruders were fatally attacked almost simultaneously.
The wound was only an insignificant hole between the eyebrows, chest, or pubic area, but it seemed to have sucked all their blood and souls away.
The moment before death Their expressions were filled with indescribable shock and horror.
After examination by experienced doctors on the merchant ship, they said that these people did not die of physical damage, but died of mental breakdown and annihilation of their souls, as if they were possessed by some kind of... boundless The vortex of fear completely swallows up life!
In the vernacular, they were even "scared to death."
The disasters that occurred on the two "Star Shark" class hunter-killer ships were even more bizarre.
The first Star Shark exploded inexplicably, and the second Star Shark's shell was torn with several large irreparable holes, and it quickly lost control.
The loss of temperature and pressure actually "sucked" all the crew members out, and the damage control system on the battleship, the automatic repair magic weapon, and even the alarm device of the main control crystal did not react at all, leading to an incredible tragedy.
Besides gods or demons, who else has such magical powers?
Of course, most of the merchants who dared to come out to the dock at this time were bold and venomous old Jianghu.
They had no superstition about ghosts and gods.
After checking the traces, they naturally understood what was going on.
However, "gods save lives" is false, but "gods fight" is real.
As the saying goes, "gods fight, the kid suffers".
He has the ability to kill so many immortal cultivators in one go, and also suppressed two "star sharks" quietly. - level hunter-killer ship, such strength has far exceeded their imagination, and it is not something they can explore.
When you go out, eat more, talk less, especially don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and mind less nosy things you shouldn't.
Ordinary people like this can often live longer in the star sea of the empire.
Since the perpetrators are unwilling to show up, they will get to the bottom of things when they become impatient, and it is most convenient to blame the illusory "gods" for good or bad.
I believe that if the "god" who just took action is still hiding in their caravan, he will continue to bless them with peace and a safe journey, right?
Sure enough, after paying homage to the "god", I hit the road again without any trouble and reached the jumping point smoothly.
After two or three hours of preparation, they completed a very accurate and smooth star sea jump and appeared at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Worlds Merchant Alliance, at the edge of the Seven Seas Star Territory.
"Wow!"
When everyone recovered from the dizziness and nausea caused by the jumping star sea and looked out at the scene outside through the virtual porthole, they all exclaimed in surprise.
It’s really… so lively!
Compared with human activities, the Star Sea is too vast and vast.
In ordinary star fields, even the most bustling and endless waterways are actually a dead vacuum, and it is extremely difficult to encounter travelers passing by.
But in the Seven Seas Star Territory, just by looking at it with the naked eye, you can see dozens of mighty and shining "light rivers", condensed by the tail flames of countless fleets traveling from south to north, and hundreds of Thousands of patrol boats and barges cruise around the "River of Light", commanding these boats to carry large amounts of money, goods and materials.
The "rivers" from the source flowed in different directions.
After seven twists and turns, they all gathered around a magnificent star city that was comparable to an asteroid.
It was the trade, logistics and even financial center on the periphery of the empire.
It has risen rapidly in the past hundred years, and it can be vaguely seen.
The Seven Seas Market rivals Jitianjie and Tianjixing!
As the free markets in the periphery have fallen one after another or evacuated voluntarily, the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance has shrunk a large number of escort fleets back to their old nests, preparing for a decisive battle with the combined fleets of the four major families.
At this moment, the defense density of the Seven Seas Market has increased unprecedentedly.
Just half a minute after their inconspicuous little caravan jumped over, a patrol boat immediately came forward to inspect and provide guidance.
They both belong to the imperial military system.
Many of the warships in the escort fleet of the Wanjie Merchant Alliance are second-hand goods that have been eliminated by the four major families, or are smuggled in new or even experimental warships.
Their appearance and painting are very similar to each other, even the capitals of the ships.
Also spray-painted is the three-star Blitz emblem representing the True Human Empire.
However, the battleships of the four major families will also spray-paint the emblems of their own families next to the three-star lightning war emblem, and even the unique marks of the main line, branch lines, and each sect and each house.
Thirty, five, seventy or eighty emblems are painstakingly painted The more badges you stamp on, the more prominent the owner of the battleship is and the stronger its combat effectiveness is on paper.

The battleships of the Ten Thousand Realms Merchant Alliance are relatively plainly painted.
They only surround the empire's three-star lightning war emblem with a circle of shining stars.
No, not stars, but eighteen shining gold coins—— The Eighteen Money Lightning Emblem is the latest symbol of the All Realms Commercial Alliance.
It also represents the "Tao Heart" of the Ten Thousand Realms Commercial Alliance, using money to change the empire!
Once bitten by a snake, I have been afraid of well ropes for ten years.
I was almost killed by the hunting ships of the four major families half a day ago.
Now I saw the patrol boats of the Ten Thousand Worlds Merchant Alliance swooping up, especially the patrol boats.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little frightened by the tense turrets of the boat.
Especially on the Little Bear, the crew members from the distant Southern Spirit Planet came to the Seven Seas Market for the first time.
They didn’t know what kind of behemoth they were facing.
Their hearts beat faster, their mouths were dry, and their palms were dry.
But it's all sweat.
However, the next second, the huge screen of light shot by the two patrol boats towards them made everyone let out a sigh of relief, and finally showed a smile that was about to survive the disaster.
Two lines of words were written neatly on the top of the huge light screen: "Welcome to the Seven Seas Market, the freest place in the universe!"
… From the edge of the Seven Seas Star Territory to the Seven Seas Market, it takes a whole day of inspection, guidance and diversion.
After all, it is a state of war now, and a earth-shattering bloody battle is about to come.
Being able to enter the Seven Seas Market for free trade in just one day is already very open and efficient.
"The most free place in the universe..."
Li Yao and Li Jialing stood on the rear deck cabin of the Little Bear, which Huo Dongling specially packed for them.
They were surrounded by black ore, which was the most convenient for them to chat.
Li Yao held a glass of iced juice and looked out the window at the ocean of light composed of thousands of merchant ships.
He smiled slightly and said, "I can't say whether it is the 'freest' place, but this is definitely one of the richest places in the empire. , in terms of money activity, it is even higher than that of the imperial capital and the capitals of the four major families!”
"I've heard that the Seven Seas Market is also called the 'city that never sleeps,' which doesn't mean that people don't sleep, but that the money here never sleeps.
'Money never sleeps' is the slogan here."
Li Jialing also clicked his tongue in amazement, "Li Lingfeng told me this name.
He once described to me the various ways the prosperous businessmen here use to make money, which left a very deep impression on me - but what really happened?
Only now did I know that Li Lingfeng The descriptions of those years were far from one-tenth of the real prosperity here.
I really don’t know what kind of tricks the profiteers of the Ten Thousand Worlds Merchant Alliance did to turn this outer star field far away from the nurturing place in the center of the star sea.
It has been built into such a prosperous and developed state!”
Li Yao said: "Oh, did Li Lingfeng also mention this?"
"Yes, Li Lingfeng once told me that if he becomes the head of the Li family, the first thing he will do is attack the Qihai Market and take this market as his own!"
Li Jialing used hair removal cream and a razor to remove and shave the hair all over his body, and dyed all the short hair black.
It no longer looked majestic and gorgeous as a golden lion, but more cunning and ferocious as a black panther.
He swallowed spit, a flash of greed in his eyes Greedy and vigilant, he murmured, "At that time, I didn't understand how Li Lingfeng's majestic 'future elector' could take food from a bunch of merchant bowls.
Today, I saw the mighty caravan here, but I couldn't understand it."
Even I’m a little tempted.”
"Li Lingfeng was able to realize the importance of the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance and the Seven Seas Market before the reformists surfaced.
He was indeed the first candidate for the 'Future Elector' of the Li family.
He died in such an unknown manner.
It’s not in vain, it’s a pity.”
Li Yao's eyes gradually became sharper and he said, "It's just that he still hasn't told you the whole truth, or in other words, given his status and natural position, he simply cannot understand the true source of power of the Ten Thousand Worlds Merchant Alliance.
——Money never sleeps.
These five words are really insightful.
The rise of the Wanjie Business Alliance is the rise of the power of money.
How can it be explained by the mere word 'profiteer'?"

Li Jialing squinted his eyes, looked at his fist surrounded by golden flames, and asked: "I don't understand, no matter how powerful the power of money is, doesn't it still have to surrender to absolute violence?
Brother Yao, who only has money and wealth Why should Li Lingfeng, you, and everyone in the four major families pay so much attention to it, even if they don’t care about the ownership of the imperial capital, they must first compete for the Seven Seas market?
" “Of course money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible!”
Li Yao looked at Li Jialing's fist and said, "Of course absolute violence is powerful, but if you are so poor that you can't even afford half a steamed bun, how can you get 'absolute violence'?
"In the remote areas of the ancient world, one might be able to master 'absolute violence' by relying on brute force or being lucky enough to dig out a secret treasure from the prehistoric era from an ancient tomb.
However, with the development of human civilization, the so-called ' Violence is becoming more and more organized, systematic, and industrialized.
It requires continuous resource support.
For individuals, it is no longer possible to achieve great success by jumping off a cliff or by picking up an ancient treasure.
A good thing that dominates the world.
"Whether violence brings money, or money supports violence, this is the chicken or the egg question.
It has no practical significance.
Money and violence are two sides of the same coin, and they complement and support each other.
"It's a pity that if one of the big trees growing side by side is too lush, it will also take away the nutrients of the other tree.
If the violence is too strong, the importance of money will be ignored or even despised, causing irreparable decline - —This is what happened to the empire in the past hundreds of years, and it is also the reason why the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance came into being
