Myriad Dragon Star, within the Starry Sky Commerce Base.
"The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is truly audacious! They actually dared to lay their hands on the Imperial Country’s Dragon Crystal Vein. Are they trying to drag us all down with them?" The middle-aged manager of the Evil Demon Race, known as Lao Si, couldn’t help but voice his anxieties upon receiving the latest intelligence. The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had already caused considerable trouble for the Starry Sky Commerce operations at Myriad Dragon Star by seizing the Imperial Country’s designated breeding planet in the Divine Woman Star System. Instead of retreating after such a provocation, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall brazenly seized a Dragon Crystal Vein that was under the control of the Imperial Country. Lao Si strongly suspected this was a deliberate act, perhaps retaliation for their refusal to cooperate. Consequently, the Imperial Country’s forces were now scrutinizing the entire Starry Sky Commerce Base. Any individual attempting to depart the base, irrespective of their affiliation with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, was immediately targeted by the Imperial Country’s personnel. This blockade had effectively trapped their people within the base, filling Lao Si with an intense desire to confront the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s manager immediately.
"Hold your horses! Don’t do anything rash!" advised Qiao Boyi, another manager, attempting to calm the agitated Lao Si. "The manager of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is no pushover. My gathered intelligence indicates he managed to defeat a Two-Star Divine General from the Imperial Country. His combat prowess is comparable to ours."
"Are we just going to stand by and let this happen? Our people are trapped! If we endure this confinement indefinitely, what becomes of our Dragon Crystals?" Lao Si expressed his clear dissatisfaction. They had invested significant resources to secure this profitable commerce mission at Myriad Dragon Star. Failing to generate a substantial amount of Dragon Crystals here would render their prior investments completely uncompensated.
"While our people can’t leave, we still can, can’t we?" The silver-haired Qiao Boyi rolled his eyes at the middle-aged man and grinned. "Those from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall want to drag us down? We’ll show them the consequences of their own schemes. The two of us, by taking turns, can still manage to venture out, though it requires some effort. He, however, is alone. Without our assistance, his base’s defense zone will be neglected, leaving him little choice but to remain confined with the Imperial Country’s forces until the mission concludes."
"Now that is indeed a sound strategy," Lao Si readily agreed with a laugh. Although they were all part of the Starry Sky Commerce, each base manager was responsible for their own defense zone. Typically, when one manager ventured out, others would cover their zone, a common practice among the Evil Demons. However, this was not an official regulation of the Commerce. Even the Red Demon, the supervisor of the Starry Sky Commerce Star System and a figure of significant authority, had no recourse if they chose not to comply. While the pursuit of Dragon Crystals did involve considerable effort, his team, under his leadership, possessed the capability to access lucrative areas within public zones. Myriad Dragon Star was a Tier One planet, home to many Tier Five beasts. While even the top hundred prodigies in the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm struggled to access numerous public areas, his team could traverse these regions freely, ensuring their safety unless they encountered more than two Tier Five beasts simultaneously.

As discussions among the major powers on Myriad Dragon Star revolved around the audacious seizure of the Imperial Country’s mines, and the sheer bravado exhibited by the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, the Light Divine Envoy, Sean, arrived at the managers’ lounge. "Sean, what brings you here?" inquired a conspicuously large man from the Titan Race, standing over twenty meters tall, at the forefront. The other two managers engaged in their cultivation within the hall also turned their attention towards Sean, showing no signs of annoyance at the interruption. Instead, they regarded him as an esteemed colleague.
Even though they were Divine Generals of the Middle Tier Divine Fusion Realm, possessing power equivalent to the peak of the Middle Tier Divine Fusion Realm, Sean was considered the unparalleled genius of the Imperial Country. Despite being only in the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm, his abilities were already on par with those at the Initial Tier of the Divine Fusion Realm. It was anticipated that once Sean successfully advanced to the Divine Fusion Realm, he would immediately possess power equivalent to the Middle Tier Divine Fusion Realm. Furthermore, achieving the status of a Three-Star Divine General, or even a Four-Star Divine General, within the Imperial Country in the future was not considered beyond his potential. Moreover, for prodigies like Sean and others of his caliber within the Imperial Country, transcending to the Divine Fusion Realm was a matter of course. Their primary constraint was their cultivation techniques. Ambitious geniuses did not view the Divine Fusion Realm as their ultimate goal; they dedicated themselves to perfecting their chosen Training Technique before advancing, thereby significantly increasing their chances of reaching the coveted Demigod Realm.
Sean truly was a peerless genius, his only bottleneck being his Training Technique proficiency, which had reached its maximum at 100%. Were it not for this limitation, his current power would not significantly trail behind theirs.
"Lord Vito, the individuals from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall have pilfered the Dragon Crystal I was tasked with safeguarding. This is a profound humiliation that I am compelled to avenge with my very life," Sean stated with deep respect to the esteemed Four-Star Divine General Vito. He continued in a hushed tone, "However, they have currently taken refuge within the Starry Sky Commerce Base. While I have eyes on them, I am powerless should their Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall manager be present."
"I comprehend," Vito responded with a slight nod. "Should the manager from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall depart from the Starry Sky Commerce Base, you must inform me immediately. I shall engage and divert the manager's attention, allowing you to deal with the rest."
"Thank you, Lord Vito!" Sean departed the managers' lounge with immense gratitude.
