The passage was about 20 meters long and about 10 meters deep. When they reached the end of the passage, the dark hall lit up. The glow of the light was soft, making the surroundings look vivid.

The hall was empty and round. There was nothing in it.

“This is the place.” AI butler pointed on the ground. “Open.”

“Zhi zhi zhi—” Grinding noises caused by machinery were heard. On the ground in the middle of this small room, the metals began to change their form and reassemble, revealing a deep, black hole.

“After Master died, his body was placed here.” The AI butler looked at Hong Dali. “En, young man, you should have many queries now, right?”

“En, yes.” Hong Dali evaded the question matter-of-factly. He turned to look at Ling Xiaoyi. “Sister Xiaoyi, Mr. Invincible East’s body is still here. It seems we have no need for the monument.”

Ling Xiaoyi nodded and replied, “Yes, Young Master.”

Their casual conversion caused the AI butler to be stunned when he heard the word “monument”.

He paused for five seconds before he anxiously asked, “Young man? You... what did you say? You prepared a monument for my master?!”

“Yes.” Hong Dali asked curiously, “Is there anything wrong? Mr. Invincible East had passed on for one thousand years. I assumed his body was no longer around, so I thought of erecting a monument for people to pay their respects. He is my senior, after all. He was also the champion with thirty-six consecutive wins in the Galaxy Mecha Competition. Such a hero deserves some respect.” With that, his tone became serious. “I don’t want such a hero to have no place for others to pay their respects to...”

Hearing that, everyone had a newfound respect for him.

Hong Dali may be unfeeling at times, but he was reliable at times like this.

“Master has a successor, a successor!” The AI butler cried and sighed. “There’s a successor who is so benevolent and honest, Master is lucky indeed...”

Hong Dali stomped. “I said I’m not learning! I’m a prodigal! If I can make others do something for me, I will definitely not do it myself!”

“I know,” The AI butler said curiously. “But I’m referring to master’s inheritance. Who said anything about the skills manual?”

Inheritance ah! That must be a lot of money! Hong Dali didn’t respond this time...

At this time, the sound of a spring could be heard from the hole. The AI butler slowly said, “It will take a while for my master’s body to come up. The security is quite tight, after all. Let me introduce myself to you first. AI butler is a term given by you to advanced AIs like me. Actually, I have a name. Master named me Frank Chen. Of course, that was a name used in the Galaxy. In your language, my other name is Tang Long.”

En, everyone knew now. Simply put, this AI butler’s name was Tang Long.

Not a bad name.

“En, according to the AI classifications in the Galaxy,” AI Butler Tang Long proudly said. “First level, able to fully carry out commands from humans. That is the lowest level for AIs. Second level, able to determine if something is right or wrong. For example, if you make a joke, it could differentiate if it is a real command or if you are joking. Third level, this is quite close to humans—the level of intelligence similar to a fifteen-year-old. And me, I belong to the highest level, the Forth level! The difference between me and a third level AI is that I am able to learn everything I want to learn.

“Hence, although I’m intelligent in nature, I’m not just a type of intelligence. Intelligent life. I possess all feelings as well. If you give me a mechanical body, other than reproducing, I’m no different from a human.”

Intelligent life!

Everyone was secretly shocked. Invincible East’s inheritance was shocking. Other things aside, just this AI butler had already achieved the classification of Intelligent life! But if this Intelligent life Tang Long had his own emotions, then he was indeed qualified to be called Intelligent life.

“Aye, truthfully, I was quite proud of being an Intelligent life. But I later realized that it wasn’t necessarily a good thing to lead such a long life...” At this moment, a crystal coffin slowly rose from the black hole in the center of the small room. The AI butler looked at the crystal coffin and shook his head. His voice was full of helplessness. “I watched the owner grow old day by day, then he laid there, no longer able to wake up. And I could only wait here by myself...”

AI butler Tang Long’s tone was sad. Everyone could feel it.

It was really tragic to have an infinite life and watch family and friends around you aging day by day, and finally dying.

“Boom!” Soon, the crystal coffin floated up completely. Everyone turned their heads back and looked at it. The crystal coffin was five meters long and two meters wide. Its material was slightly different from glass. It sparkled like crystal. The others just felt weird. Deca scrutinized it and suddenly exclaimed, “Diamond, this crystal coffin is made of diamonds!”

Everyone was speechless.

Oh my God, such a big crystal coffin made of diamonds! How big did the diamond have to be?

“Don’t make a fuss.” AI butler Tang Long pouted and said, “Purple hair and purple eyes, you’re a Galleon alien, right? It’s no wonder you are so shocked. Diamonds are expensive stuff to you. But,” He looked deep on the surface of the crystal coffin. “My master was great. Diamonds may cost two hundred Planet Dollars a gram, but my master could have any amount he wanted. He owned a planet made up of diamonds. If it wasn’t because it looked good, my master couldn’t be bothered.”

A planet made of diamonds!

This... that...

Alright, don’t talk about it. It hurts my pride...

Everyone looked inside of the crystal coffin. A body laid inside. This body was about 1.8 meters tall, about the height of a grown man on Earth. His facial features were similar to those on Earth. The difference was that the angles were more defined than people from Heavenly State. Although there were wrinkles on the face, there was no white hair on the head.

He was lying in the crystal coffin so peacefully. Everyone could vaguely tell that he must have been very good looking when he was younger.

“Master.” AI butler Tang Long grabbed the crystal coffin and said excitedly, “Someone is finally here to see you.”

“Ah, that, Uncle Tang Long,” Although he already knew the identity of the body, Hong Dali wanted to be sure. “This old man, is the Invincible East, Mo Tianji, Grandpa Mo?”

“Yes.” Tang Long nodded.

Since it was certain this was his ancestor, the respected Mo Tianji, Invincible East, Wang Daoming knelt down immediately and respectfully kowtowed three times. “The descendant of the disciple, Wang Daoming, pays my respect.”

Honor the teacher and respect his teachings. Wang Daoming was naturally compliant.

“Not bad, all of you... are not bad.” AI butler Tang Long closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he appeared to have calmed down. “Alright, since you have seen my master, I should tell you more about him. This is definitely more detailed than what you have heard from others.” He smiled as he looked at Deca. “For example, this Galleon alien.”

“I’m sure, I’m sure. Haha, haha.” Deca was embarrassed. But it was true. Compared to Invincible East’s advanced AI butler, he definitely did not know as much.

Hence, AI butler Tang Long began. Through his words, everyone finally had a rough idea of the entire Galaxy Alliance.

“Speaking of the Galaxy Alliance, I have to mention the Galaxy Virtual Network.

“In the vast universe, long before there was life. Of course, I don’t know the extent to which evolution of life was it. What I know is, about two billion years ago, the Galaxy Virtual Network already existed.

“Before the Galaxy Alliance was formed 36 million years ago, in the entire universe, the Beta Planet which my master lived in had the most advanced technology! Beta Aliens were the first to connect to the Galaxy Virtual Network. They later obtained rights to the Galaxy Virtual Network in the Galaxy and became the Galaxy Aristocracy.

“Our Beta Planet is divided into two branches. One is the Roth clan, mainly in charge of commercial dealings. The other is a pure combat race, the Saiyan clan.

“My master was from the Saiyan clan.

“Saiyans are born to fight. To them, other than reproducing, their biggest hobby is to fight. My master was one who loved to fight the most.

“He had a wager with the Roth prince, Kakaroth, and participated in the Mecha Competition. In the end, my master had thirty-six consecutive wins and won the wager—you don’t have to know about the details of the wager now. When the time comes, I will tell you about it.

“Of course, apart from the wager, although my master won, he met with some setbacks. In other words, my master did not forfeit the competition and traveled to the stars willingly. As a fighting enthusiast, what my master wanted was not honor or the prize money. What my master really wanted, was the thrill of fighting.”
