Elder Ambrose smiled at Fang Heng and continued, "If you are willing, we are prepared to provide you some guidance on the path of God-level academic advancement. What do you think?"
Oh!
Such an unexpected delight?
Fang Heng immediately became interested.
Not only could he receive guidance on God-level academics, but he could also deal with the spawns at the same time?
Why hesitate at such an opportunity?
Fang Heng smiled and bowed slightly to the elder. "Of course, that suits me perfectly. Thank you, elder, for granting this."
The elder nodded in satisfaction. "Good, it is settled then. The spawns are currently busy dealing with the Seed of Ouroboros, so there is no rush. We will depart immediately."
"Understood."
...
BY-2077.
Central star domain.
The Noel Clan fleet descended through the teleportation passage onto the planetary starport.
Fang Heng leapt from his ship’s exit and stood on the dark red ground.
"A mining base?"
He murmured to himself.
Looking ahead, he saw large mining wells established across the surface, with massive transport drones continuously packing crates and loading them onto transport ships.
"This is the Red Star cluster."
Elder Ambrose levitated beside Fang Heng, examining the planet covered in red rock soil, and asked, "Fang Heng, do you know what is most valuable in the vast galaxy?"
"Resources," Fang Heng replied.
Before he could answer further, Ambrose continued to speak to himself.
"All species need resources to develop and grow stronger. To become powerful, a continuous supply of resources is required. We are born as plunderers, taking everything to strengthen ourselves."
"The strong decide everything; the weak can only pray for mercy."
"However, now, this process of plunder has been wrapped in a layer of ’civilization.’"
Fang Heng nodded slightly.
"The Red Star domain was discovered thousands of years ago. Due to its special location, the planet’s ownership has never been fully determined. We have had countless disputes with the spawns, and the Seven Realms Martial Capital has mediated numerous times. There have been dozens of high-level martial arena contests, yet the ownership remains controversial."
"On the surface, the Noel Clan and the spawns have joint mining rights with a 70-30 split. In reality, the spawns occupy the area and mine continuously, while our mining activities are often obstructed by them, causing interruptions."
"For various reasons, the Noel Clan has always chosen to endure."
"Now that the spawns are dealing with the Seed of Ouroboros, it is time to reclaim what is owed."
Fang Heng listened to Elder Ambrose and looked up at the seemingly barren planet. He frowned and asked, "Are you saying this planet has abundant resources?"
"Not just this planet, but the entire star domain. We have assessed it, and its energy points are extremely high, making it highly valuable for mining and absorption."
Energy points?
Dimensional strength!
Fang Heng immediately understood.
In fact, the higher a planet’s dimensional strength, the more likely it is to host powerful life forms, rare ores, and so on.
Fang Heng also confirmed that high-tier races, such as the spawns and the Noel Clan, had methods to extract a world’s dimensional strength.
"I understand. So the Noel Clan plans to reclaim this place?"
"Reclaim? Not exactly." Elder Ambrose shook his head and continued, "The Noel Clan already has mining rights. Our mining operations in the star domain are lawful and legitimate."
"Moreover..."
Ambrose paused, looking at Fang Heng. "The ones seizing interstellar resources are you—the vampires."
Fang Heng immediately understood and asked, "What if the spawns come?"
"They won’t. They are now being targeted by the Seed of Ouroboros. Even if the spawns take action, our star domain network will detect it immediately. The Noel Clan will naturally assist in interception, claiming the spawns invaded our collection area."
"I see, understood."
Fang Heng grasped the situation.
The Noel Clan was clever. They would not act directly. They would let the spawns be distracted while the vampires mined the disputed territory, reaping the benefits first.
As for the subsequent disputes between the Noel Clan and the spawns, they could settle them later.
Any blame could then be placed on the Seed of Ouroboros and the vampires.
After all, direct conflict was impossible, and even if it occurred, the Noel Clan would not fear it.
"I heard vampires can control mutant worms to perform collection and exploration missions in extreme environments with terrifying efficiency."
Elder Ambrose looked at Fang Heng and nodded. "I’ll be straightforward: you may collect all resources in the star domain. The Noel Clan will also mine with full effort. All mined materials must be handed over to the Noel Clan, who will take 20% of the resources at market price as payment."
"Very fair."
Fang Heng agreed, unable to hide the curve of his smile.
What a coincidence!
Going into combat with the spawns now would be risky, especially with his mental strength severely reduced. His body was not at peak condition.
But if the goal was to quickly grab ores and materials?
He could handle that with ease.
And he could keep 80% of the gains?
The Noel Clan likely had no idea of the true power of his zombie clones.
Elder Ambrose did not know. In his view, even if the vampires were skilled at mining, they could only drain a planet in a week at most.
For the disputed territory, whatever could be taken was theirs. Twenty percent was free profit.
"What else do the vampires need? I’ll have it prepared for you."
Fang Heng thought for a moment and nodded, "If possible, I need more high-tier multi-functional mechanical transport vehicles adapted to harsh environments, and spatial teleportation passages for transporting materials back and forth..."
"Understood. We have already begun constructing an interstellar teleportation hub on this planet. It will serve as the main passage for the entire star domain, with at least three large teleportation gates connecting here for material transport. Transport vehicles and ships will also be arranged immediately."
"That won’t be enough."
Fang Heng glanced at the developing hub and shook his head, "The material throughput will be enormous. One spatial hub might not suffice."
Elder Ambrose raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The three teleportation gates already had throughput measured in tons per minute.
Still not enough?
Ambrose did not comment, only nodded. "If it isn’t enough, we will supplement later. For now, act quickly and begin."
With that, he stepped aside, signaling Fang Heng to start his demonstration.
"Of course."
Fang Heng took two steps forward and stopped at a patch of reddish-brown open ground.
He summoned.
