In the mansion, Lin Mo settled down and talked with the East Sea Dragon King for three days and nights. Ao Rui was also present, and as a Boundary General of the Milky Way, he learned a lot about the Milky Way and the various Star Lords from the East Sea Dragon King.
Although he needed to return to the Star Sky Alliance for cultivation, before leaving, he had to ensure that the affairs of the Milky Way were thoroughly handled. At least for as long as he was present, no one shall dare to target Earth.
Next, with the Elong Star Lord serving as a cautionary tale, all the Star Lords became like frightened birds, hastily submitting memorials, confessing the mistakes they had made over the years, and exposing the atrocities of the Elong Star Lord.
"To sell a native planet to other families, he directly exterminated the entire native population?" Lin Mo’s eyes turned red, and with a strong grip, the Jade Scroll in his palm disintegrated into light particles.
"The Elong Star Lord committed so many atrocious acts?"
Lin Mo, enraged, said, "East Sea Dragon King, did you not know? Why didn’t you submit a memorial to report to Dao Marquis Xuan Yang of the Star Sky Alliance?" The East Sea Dragon King quickly replied, "Please calm your anger, Boundary General. I did submit a memorial to Dao Marquis Xuan Yang, but you know Marquis Xuan Yang is devoted to cultivation. Sometimes in seclusion, these memorials ended up with Duke Yaoyang, and Elong Star Lord has a good relationship with Duke Yaoyang and has given him many benefits, thus the matters were suppressed."
"Duke Yaoyang again?" Lin Mo’s sword eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"Boundary General, may I say something inappropriate? By killing the Elong Star Lord, you have cut off one of Duke Yaoyang’s sources of wealth. He will certainly oppose you in the Star Sky Alliance, so you must be careful." The East Sea Dragon King warned.
"Hmph, if he dares to provoke me, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven." Lin Mo coldly said.
The East Sea Dragon King closed his mouth. The temper of this newly appointed Boundary General was completely opposite to his scholarly and gentle appearance. "I will not interfere with the other Star Lords’ matters. After all, I have just taken office, and recklessly causing a ruckus might dishearten the other Star Lords. Killing the Elong Star Lord should make them restrain themselves a lot. I will also leave the Milky Way shortly, and the affairs of the Milky Way will be handed over to you to manage. If there are any unresolved issues, report directly to me." Lin Mo took out a Jade Pendant, imprinted his spiritual power onto it, and handed it to the East Sea Dragon King.
"Yes, Boundary General." The East Sea Dragon King carefully accepted the Jade Pendant.
The East Sea Dragon King took out several Space Rings, saying, "Boundary General, these items were left by the Elong Star Lord, and there are some that the other Star Lords want to honor you with..."
Lin Mo was not old-fashioned. Managing a Star System as a Boundary General, besides maintaining the stability of the Star System, all resources could be at his own discretion.
Lin Mo sent his spiritual power into several Space Rings. Although he had already seen ’big scenes,’ his face could not help but reveal a hint of amazement.
"The wealth of the Elong Star Lord is really significant. I wonder how much he has extorted and benefited from all this?" Lin Mo was surprised.
"Oh, Sun and Moon Divine Fruits."
Lin Mo suddenly discovered some familiar fruit, blue, and red fruits. They were the Sun and Moon Divine Fruits he once devoured, treasures capable of directly increasing Primordial Power, a privilege only the Realm King enjoyed.
"What is the story behind these fruits?" Lin Mo immediately took out a red fruit and asked. The East Sea Dragon King, upon seeing it, quickly replied, "Boundary General, there is something you might not know. Some Boundary Generals and Realm Marquises of the Star Sky Alliance are overlords of a Star Domain or even a Star System outside the alliance. The treasures they obtain in the Star Sky Alliance are occasionally given to their family descendants. These family descendants also privately trade among themselves for the treasures they need."
"Treasures flowing out of the Star Sky Alliance? It is stated that treasures from the Star Sky Alliance cannot flow elsewhere to prevent them from being acquired by the Demon Clan." Lin Mo frowned.
"That’s what is said, but rules are dead; people are alive. The Sun and Moon Divine Fruits aren’t strictly prohibited items, and in secret Black Market trades, the Star Sky Alliance doesn’t typically take severe actions." The East Sea Dragon King explained.
Lin Mo was worried about not having enough points in the Star Sky Alliance to exchange for treasures. Now owning so many treasures, there were even channels to exchange for treasures within the Star Sky Alliance. "East Sea Dragon King, I have a request to ask of you."
"Boundary General, you are too formal. Whatever you need, just instruct me." The East Sea Dragon King said nervously.
"Find a few Star Lords to help exchange all these treasures into Sun and Moon Divine Fruits, all of them." Lin Mo instructed.
The East Sea Dragon King was taken aback, "All exchanged for Sun and Moon Divine Fruits?"
"Yes, use whatever methods necessary to exchange them." Lin Mo nodded.
"I will get right on it, but I am not sure how many Sun and Moon Divine Fruits we can get, as they are not widely circulated in the Black Market and their prices are high." The East Sea Dragon King replied.
"Very well, go handle it. You will not lack benefits in the future." Lin Mo said.
... Staying on Elong Star for about two months, Lin Mo drafted another memorial, detailing the crimes committed by the Elong Star Lord, and directly submitted it with the Commander’s Seal to Dao Marquis Xuan Yang. However, no reply was received, suggesting he might be in seclusion cultivating.
The morning air was fresh.
Lin Mo walked, arriving at a secluded courtyard within the separate residence.
Yingzi sat cross-legged and suspended in the air, her brows furrowed tightly, her long eyelashes flickering slightly. Around her body swirled a misty, silk-like True Yuan, enveloping her like a cocoon.
"It should be about done." Lin Mo stood by, watching Yingzi, nodding slightly.
Sure enough, just as his words fell, the silken threads surrounding Yingzi emitted crackling sounds, and like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, the swirling mist and silken threads all surged into Yingzi’s abdomen.
Once she absorbed all the misty threads, she opened her eyes, her grape-like purple eyes blinked, and upon seeing Lin Mo, she descended, beaming with joy, "Sir, I broke through to the Star Sea Level!"
Originally, Yingzi was already at a high-level Star Lake. With guidance from Lin Mo during this time, and resources poured in as if money were of no concern, her breakthrough was only natural.
"Yes, keep working hard, and strive to reach the Star System Level soon." Lin Mo patted her head, then suddenly sensed the Commander’s Seal light up, smiling, "It’s the East Sea Dragon King; the task I gave him should be completed."
Indeed, a guard approached quickly along the path, respectfully saying, "Boundary General, East Sea Dragon King Star Lord has already arrived at the parlor."
"Good, I’m heading over now." Lin Mo laughed, striding away.
In the parlor, the East Sea Dragon King stood aside with Ao Rui, awaiting Lin Mo.
"East Sea Star Lord, sit," Lin Mo said with a smile, "Is the task I assigned you completed?" The East Sea Dragon King sat down, promptly took out a Space Ring and handed it to Lin Mo, saying, "Boundary General, these Sun and Moon Divine Fruits are the result of our best efforts. Many Star Lords admire the Boundary General, generously contributing, channeling through various means, gathering these 420 Sun and Moon Divine Fruits."
