Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 251 Zhou Ze's Solitary Time with Fire Demon Marquis

Chapter 251 Zhou Ze's Solitary Time with Fire Demon Marquis

"Welcome, Special Envoy Apprentice!"

Marquis Liushuang, Marquis Jiyan, and Marquis Huomei all spoke in unison, smiling respectfully.

Wow!

A dense, seemingly endless line of people knelt down in unison, saying:

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Greetings, Your Highness, Apprentice." Hundreds of immortal gods bowed.

"Apprentice, welcome to our Dream Branch!" A slight smile appeared on Liu Shuanghou's lips; she, who never revealed her true face...

At this moment, they also revealed their faces.

Zhou Ze didn't feel anything, after all, he didn't know that Liu Shuanghou, like him, always wore a helmet. He just felt that Liu Shuanghou's face looked too young.

Despite being one of the three major military leaders, she has the appearance of an adorable little girl. Combined with her imposing aura, she gives off the feeling of a little girl pretending to be an adult.

"Apprentice, I've heard of your great name for a long time. I never expected that the most inconspicuous disciple under the 'Holy Master' would actually surpass Luo Feng in just one hundred years after leaving Chaos City! Truly amazing!" Ji Yan Hou laughed, looking extremely heroic and sarcastic.

"Apprentice, welcome to join us. We can exchange ideas and discuss things more in the future—" Huo Meihou blinked her long eyelashes, her smile ambiguous, seemingly trying to seduce people, yet making it impossible to discern her true intentions.

She stood there seemingly simply, yet inadvertently revealed her figure, making people want to investigate further.

Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your support and cooperation in the coming period of time, seniors and colleagues."

As expected of the Dream Universe Kingdom, all three of its giants are stunning beauties!

There are many powerful women in the universe, and there are also those in power, but universe kingdoms like the Dream Universe Kingdom, where the majority of the population is female, are extremely rare.

Take the emperors of the Dream Universe Kingdom for example; they are usually empresses. Male emperors like Bertha's father are quite rare in the entire history of the Dream Universe Kingdom.

"Apprentice." Marquis Liushuang, with a youthful, even somewhat adorable face, smiled and said to Zhou Ze:

Let me introduce myself—

After introducing himself and the other two major figures to Zhou Ze, Marquis Liushuang smiled and said:

"Marquis Huo Mei is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce and knows more about the entire Fantasy Dream Universe Kingdom than we do. If you have any questions, you can consult Marquis Huo Mei for information..."

Zhou Ze looked at Huo Meihou and smiled slightly, "Then I'll leave things to Huo Meihou from now on. You know, once I'm out here, the higher-ups will issue me tasks from time to time."

Huo Meihou smiled and said, "Don't worry, just come to me if you need anything."

Liu Shuanghou then pointed to the densely packed figures behind him and the immortal deities bowing respectfully:

"Our Dream Branch is responsible for overseeing more than 10,000 star regions and hundreds of millions of star systems within the Dream Universe. Therefore, in addition to the three of us ministers, the branch also has 294 other immortal gods and more than 700 million important personnel responsible for various star regions and star systems—all of them are here!"

Zhou Ze nodded: "Let everyone disperse. One meeting is enough."

Marquis Liushuang smiled and said, "Alright, everyone can leave now."

The magnetic voice coming from her youthful face felt incongruous.

"yes!"

The more than 7 million leaders in charge of numerous star fields and hundreds of millions of star systems bowed respectfully, and then orderly transformed into streaks of light and flew in various directions towards Amethyst Island.

"Immortals, follow the three of us and accompany Inspector General Zhou Ze to take a good look at Amethyst Island and see how our Dream Branch operates," Marquis Liushuang ordered.

Zhou Ze glanced at the group of immortals; 90% of them were women, and not one of them was unattractive—it was a veritable feast for the eyes.

Of course, the most eye-catching are the three giants: one is heroic and dashing, one is charming and alluring, and one has a youthful face that makes people want to be curious.

Zhou Ze felt as if he had entered a land of women, rather than a branch of the Illusionary Dream Sect, which was somewhat unexpected.

After all, he had just randomly chosen a universe kingdom. Zhou Ze, accompanied by the three giants and more than three hundred immortal gods, toured the important departments of the Illusionary Dream Branch.

Zhou Ze also asked some simple questions from time to time to get a basic understanding of the operation of the entire Dream Branch.

A lounge in the palace.

Zhou Ze was alone in a room with Ji Yan Hou, Huo Mei Hou, and Liu Shuang Hou, while the other immortal gods had already withdrawn.

A fragrant breeze filled the air.

"Our Virtual Universe Company has a truly vast territory to manage. This region alone encompasses over five hundred cosmic kingdoms," said Liu Shuanghou with a slight smile. She poured Zhou Ze a glass of fine wine, then poured one for each of the three people present, including herself, and said with a smile, "..."

"Yes, these five hundred universe nations, including our Dream Universe Nation, have their livelihoods and economies almost entirely controlled by our Virtual Universe Company."

Marquis Jiyan laughed heartily, "Of the five major human powers in the universe, the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance values ​​experts; the Cosmic First Bank and the Cosmic Galaxy Bank mainly focus on banking and deposit services, as well as some investment businesses. The Giant Axe Arena also values ​​experts; only my Virtual Universe Company controls the entire economic lifeline of humanity!"

"It's not just half of the universe countries controlled by our Virtual Universe Company; the entire economy of the 1008 universe countries is completely controlled by our Virtual Universe Company."

"So in terms of overall strength, even the Giant Axe Arena is inferior to ours."

Zhou Ze nodded, agreeing with Ji Yanhou's assessment. Virtual Universe Company possessed a virtual universe spanning the entire primordial universe, and its ability to recruit and cultivate talent, which was unmatched by the other four giants, was inseparable from the economy.

Virtual Universe Company is built on the foundation of Virtual Universe, which is indeed impressive.

It may seem that there are many large enterprises and commercial forces in the universe, but all of them are controlled by the Virtual Universe Company. For example, the game companies that Zhou Ze used to admire, which can create virtual games, all need to occupy a virtual dimension space, which all need to be rented from the Virtual Universe Company!

Killing grounds, for example, are monopolized.

Even the live broadcasts of the Giant Axe Arena within the virtual universe network require a share of the profits with the virtual universe company.

In short, humanity cannot escape the virtual universe network.

"Any country, any family, any organization that wants to develop must cooperate with our Virtual Universe Company!"

The Fire Demon Lord's smiling face revealed immense pride and confidence:

"Even the other four major powers cooperate with us, not to mention those nations and families. In terms of business and economics, our Virtual Universe Company holds an absolute monopoly!"

"With economic control, countless treasures, and a multitude of powerful individuals, our Virtual Universe Company recruits the most talented martial artists among the five major forces every year."

Marquis Jiyan also said softly but with extreme confidence, "Therefore, within the Dream Universe Kingdom and the universe kingdoms controlled by our Virtual Universe, our Virtual Universe Company holds half the control! The other half belongs to the ruler of the universe kingdom!"

Huo Meihou laughed and said, "It is said that in the universe kingdoms controlled by our Virtual Universe Company, the ruler of the universe kingdom actually belongs to our Virtual Universe Company, and is even a high-ranking member—"

"Of course, we don't know if that's true or not—"

The three giants spoke one after another, each exuding absolute confidence.

Zhou Ze remained calm. He had gained a deeper understanding of the power and status of the three giants, and the situation was indeed complex.

"By the way, Zhou Ze, when are you coming to the Dream Universe Kingdom?" Liu Shuanghou, with a "real" baby face, smiled and looked at Zhou Ze.

"Yes, when will you arrive? Let us make proper arrangements to welcome you!" Marquis Jiyan laughed heartily.

"I arrived in the Dreamland a few days ago!"

"What?!"

The three giants were taken aback.

The Primal Secret Realm is very far from the Dream Universe Kingdom. Even the best spaceship would take several years to reach it.

"Yes, my guard is also from the Dreamland, so he left an immortal god there. I was directly teleported here through the Divine Kingdom."

"They've already arrived at the Dreamland without even telling us beforehand." Marquis Jiyan feigned displeasure, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"That's not right of you. You're a special envoy sent by headquarters, representing headquarters! How could you come to the Dream Universe Kingdom without a word? Marquis Liushuang, Marquis Huomei, according to the rules, let's prepare a welcome banquet for Zhou Ze."

That's what they said on the surface, but both Ji Yanhou and the other two giants couldn't help but tremble inside.

This is equivalent to the execution period being suddenly shortened; what would have taken several years is suddenly announced as an immediate execution.

"Yes, of course we must prepare a welcoming banquet, and it must be very grand! We must use this banquet to announce to the upper echelons of the entire Dream Universe Kingdom that Zhou Ze, the Special Envoy of the Dream Branch, has arrived," said Marquis Liushuang in a deep voice.

She exchanged a subtle glance with Marquis Jiyan and Marquis Huomei, then smiled again:

"Zhou Ze, I'll go prepare for the welcome banquet first, so I won't be able to spend much more time with you for now—"

Marquis Jiyan also smiled and said, "I'll take care of the notification. Marquis Huomei will accompany you to receive you; she happens to be in the Dream Continent as well—"

Zhou Ze didn't elaborate, but just smiled and said, "Thank you all, but I'm not used to things being too lively. A smaller scale is fine."

"Okay, no problem!"

The two agreed and immediately logged off.

In the dimly lit room, only Huo Meihou and Zhou Ze remained alone.
