Beisi Planet

Sitting at his desk, Luo Feng pondered for a moment. He then contacted the intelligence department, and the call connected quickly. "Your Highness Luo Feng," a clear voice came from the laptop screen.

"I've just received the highest-scoring mission," Luo Feng said. "Send me all the detailed information regarding the first stage of the highest-scoring mission, 'Fire Phoenix Group,' including the residences and strengths of its eighteen high-ranking members. How long will that take?"

"It's already prepared," the clear voice replied. "The information is now being sent to Your Highness's inbox."

"Understood," Luo Feng nodded.

*Beep!*

A vast amount of complex intelligence data was compiled and sent directly to Luo Feng's inbox. The entire intelligence file was simply named 'Fire Phoenix Group.' Luo Feng sat at his desk, gently clicked open the file, and began to read rapidly. The information provided by the intelligence department was far more detailed than the mission brief he had received earlier.

"This is truly..."

"This is utterly despicable!!!" Luo Feng's expression grew increasingly grim as he read. "To be so depraved... On Earth, especially during the Great Nirvana era, many things crossed the line, but I never imagined... that what happened on Earth would be utterly insignificant compared to what occurs in the cosmos. Corruption, true corruption..."

Underneath the countless lives sacrificed by powerful warriors in racial wars, the entire 1008 Cosmic Nation enjoyed a peaceful existence. Peace bought with sacrifice! The strong guarded the entire human territory!

In such a life, some individuals with powerful backgrounds and influence—for instance, a son whose father was a Domain Lord, practically ruling a nascent cosmic civilization nation—would reach the Stellar level in cultivation and find themselves unable to advance further, nor were they qualified to inherit the family patriarch's position. Without a goal to strive for, they naturally began to rot.

These people, lacking 'purpose' yet possessing a certain degree of power and wealth, would commit many unimaginable acts when aimless. Cannibalism, infanticide, and similar atrocities were no longer novel enough to satisfy the needs of these depraved individuals! They unleashed their boundless imagination to torture slaves, an act not punishable by law. After torturing slaves, if they felt no sense of accomplishment... they would turn their attention to cosmic citizens, torturing them instead! In short, human desires are endless, and the Fire Phoenix Group existed to fulfill these people's needs, satisfying their twisted cravings.

"If my Luo Clan had such individuals, I'd kill one for each, ten for ten. So utterly corrupt, it would be better to kill them than let them live." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Luo Feng's eyes. "However, human territory is too vast, and the human population is endless. While there are outstanding elites, there are naturally also some scumbags!"

The eighteen high-ranking members were also known as the eighteen directors of the Fire Phoenix Group. These eighteen directors collectively controlled the entire Fire Phoenix Group. Every 100 years, one director would be elected to temporarily serve as leader, with everyone taking turns.

These eighteen directors were:

Kelachi: Domain Lord Level 9, currently residing on the slave planet 'Beisi Planet,' where slaves are raised.

Kafin: Domain Lord Level 8, currently residing on the imperial capital planet 'Cuilang Star' in the Cuilang Starfield.

Bennidixika: Domain Lord Level 9, currently residing on the tourist planet 'Fudi Planet.'

...

Pan Xi: Sector Lord Level 3, currently residing in the Fire Phoenix Group's headquarters, the 'Bei En Asteroid Belt.'

"Eighteen of them," Luo Feng said, looking at the list of eighteen individuals and their respective residences. "Babata, calculate their positions and choose the shortest route. I don't want to take any detours."

"Yes!"

Babata quickly calculated and instantly replied, "The shortest operational route for you, Luo Feng, means the order of apprehension and punishment should be Kelachi, Kafin... Pan Xi, which is identical to the order provided in this intelligence file."

A hint of murderous intent flickered in Luo Feng's eyes as he let out a low chuckle: "It seems the intelligence department has considered everything in great detail for me. Let's go, to Beisi Planet!"

...

Originally heading towards the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield in the Ganwu Universe Nation, the Yunmo Star ship now slightly altered its course in the dark universe.

"Estimated arrival at Beisi Planet in 5 months and 8 days!"

...

Five months and eight days later.

In the control room of the Yunmo Star ship, Luo Feng and Dilun stood silently. Babata's countdown echoed through the control room: "5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Warp!"

Just a moment later, they had warped into the prime universe. Through the external view simulation, countless stars could be seen in the distance.

"Beisi Planet." Luo Feng's gaze fell upon the nearest planet in the distant starry sky. It was a mottled white and dark red planet; the white was its cloud layer, while dark red was the planet's dominant color. This was Luo Feng's first stop, 'Beisi Planet.'

"Your Highness, what do you plan to do?" Dilun asked Luo Feng.

"Dilun, remember, do not interfere from beginning to end. I must complete this mission myself," Luo Feng said, gazing at the distant planet, a cold glint in his eyes. "As for how to proceed, I already have a plan."

The so-called highest-scoring mission had initially left Luo Feng bewildered and confused. However, after a period of contemplation, Luo Feng mostly understood. Firstly, the personalities of the Virtual Universe Company's Original Secret Region members were incredibly diverse; geniuses always had some unique traits—bloodthirsty, indifferent, gentle, kind, insane... Such geniuses were countless throughout history.

Different personalities would undoubtedly approach such a mission differently. The bloodthirsty ones would likely impose a direct death sentence. Others, more calm, might deem the crimes not severe enough for death and opt for imprisonment. Different people would certainly make different choices; it couldn't be that everyone was forced to choose 'death penalty,' right? Therefore... this mission truly had no fixed answer; it depended on one's personal style of action.

Furthermore, the mission brief stated: "The first stage of the mission is the initial and most crucial step of the entire highest-scoring mission! This step determines whether you can proceed to the next stage, and it also establishes the fundamental tone for judging the 'additional rewards' after the fourth stage. Therefore, you must complete this stage diligently."

"Establishing the tone?" Luo Feng believed it was primarily about confirming one's personal style! "There is no right or wrong choice." "It all depends on whether the high-ranking officials of the Virtual Universe Company appreciate your methods when they evaluate," Luo Feng mused silently. "If they do, you'll receive a high completion rate, perhaps even a 100% completion reward. That's why it's required to maintain Virtual Universe Network transmission from beginning to end."

...

The Yunmo Star ship continuously flew towards Beisi Planet. The modified F-grade spaceship was undetectable by Beisi Planet's alert systems. Upon reaching the atmosphere.

*Whoosh!* Luo Feng and Dilun flew directly out of the Yunmo Star ship's hatch. Simultaneously, Luo Feng stored the Yunmo Star ship into his internal world.

"Babata, activate Virtual Universe Network synchronized transmission," Luo Feng commanded.

"Yes, activated."

From this moment on, everything Luo Feng did was being recorded; his actions would be observed and documented.

"Dilun, let's descend," Luo Feng said.

*Whoosh! Whoosh!* Two streaks of light rapidly plunged into Beisi Planet's atmosphere. With Dilun's Immortal God capabilities, they naturally wouldn't be detected by Beisi Planet.

...

On the eastern hemisphere of Beisi Planet, mountain ranges undulated. Some mountain peaks were barren, clearly due to the high altitude making it difficult for plants to survive. The lower parts of these mountains were covered in red trees and vegetation, with red being the dominant color of the entire mountain range's flora. Many indigenous natives were struggling to walk through the forests; the tens of thousands of meters in altitude and treacherous mountain paths made it extremely difficult for these natives to gather herbs from the mountains.

The herb 'Rainbow Fire Grass' was Beisi Planet's primary export. Raising slaves, selling Rainbow Fire Grass... The slaves were the ones who harvested the Rainbow Fire Grass. Each small tribe had to submit enough Rainbow Fire Grass annually; if they failed, a large number of slaves from that tribe would be taken and sold as punishment. Furthermore, under the powerful military deterrence of the slave syndicate and high-tech global surveillance... not a single slave tribe dared to defy the syndicate.

"Father, I can't walk anymore, let's rest."

"Bear with it and hurry to find Rainbow Fire Grass. You've only found 92 stalks today, even less than yesterday. If this continues, our whole family won't get much food and will starve."

The slaves walked through the mountains, meticulously searching for Rainbow Fire Grass. Rainbow Fire Grass grew naturally on Beisi Planet and was very difficult to find. If one wasn't experienced, they might not even recognize it when they saw it, as there were simply too many types of plants in the deep mountains and old forests.

...

Just then—

*Whoosh! Whoosh!* Two figures descended directly from outer space, swift as lightning, instantly landing on a mountain peak. On the mountaintop, one wore silver combat armor and silver combat boots, with a screen on his armguard, coldly surveying the endless land below. Beside him stood a bald man in a black robe, his eyes deep and profound, as if a cosmic deity had descended upon this planet.

"Are those the slaves of this planet?" Luo Feng stood on the mountaintop, looking down at the distance. He could clearly see the faces and even the pores of the indigenous natives in the distant forests.

"Yes," Dilun nodded. "According to the data, these slaves were originally the indigenous inhabitants of this planet. After the Fire Phoenix Group purchased this planet, these natives' status changed to 'slaves.' They are slaves for generations, and they must use their natural talents to harvest this difficult-to-find Rainbow Fire Grass."

Standing on the mountaintop, Luo Feng's spiritual force instantly swept across a thousand-kilometer radius, clearly understanding everything within that range.

"Within a thousand-kilometer radius, there are over 82.19 million indigenous inhabitants," Luo Feng said in a low voice, looking down at the pitiful natives. "Only 12 of them are Planet-level; the rest are ordinary Apprentice-level individuals. Furthermore, there are many surveillance technological instruments within this thousand-kilometer range, and every move of these natives is being monitored."

"Slaves..." Luo Feng murmured softly. "My Earth almost became a slave planet back then."

Dilun couldn't help but look at Luo Feng.

*Whoosh!* Luo Feng's body flickered, and he instantly appeared hundreds of kilometers away. Dilun also flickered and followed him hundreds of kilometers away.
