Lucan had not expected this person to be this vigilant, he replied, ''Hehe! Seems like you are a tough one to deal with, tell me your name!''
The mysterious figure did not let his guard down, he thought, ''Such guts, he indeed was able to defeat Lord! Hmm, I don't want him to find any information about me or related to me, so let me say a fake name, hehe! He is currently trapped by me, I need not fear much.''
He replied, ''I am also called Lord, Lucan, don't think I am as weak as Lord. Your schemes won't work against me, no matter what you try! I have decided one thing, I am not letting you come inside my planet, we transact right here and right now!''
Before Lucan was able to reply, the figure vanished, he was released, Lucan thought, ''He could have killed me right then, but hehe! All these guys think I have great strength for breaking that unbreakable mountain. If he really knew my strength, I wouldn't have been alive right now. Huh! Looks like I have to raise my strength as fast as I can, because one day this secret will definitely be exposed.''
Lucan was about to speak with the aliens, but the two were already informed by their leader, they both held his crew members as hostages.
One spoke, ''We received a message from our leader, and I hope you know it very well, don't try anything reckless, just quickly transact with us and let us leave!''
Lucan thought, ''Only a few more minutes until I regain my cosmic energy! If I can stall for time, I can make formations on these two, which would let me trespass into the planet!''
He spoke, ''Fine! I agree! But first I need a few minutes to know what kind of rewards I can exchange for, I hope you can wait for a few minutes.''
They both agreed and tossed out a list, Lucan's lips curled up, he instantly saw through all the resources he required, but he put on an act to stall time.
After a few minutes, he regained his full cosmic energy, but he would not use it completely, because an armor was required for him to breathe.
He said, ''I have decided, here you go.''
The two aliens did not let their guard down, because even a slight weakness would allow Lucan to deal with them.
After a while, all the resources were transacted, immediately the alien who could teleport used his complete cosmic energy to teleport to their planet.
Because they feared Lucan, the blue guy spoke, ''Lucan, what the heck did you do now? See, we lost our precious opportunity to seek shelter and protection!''
Lucan replied with a wide grin, ''No worries, once I get enough information, I will use the formation to teleport us inside, we can disguise ourselves, enter, loot, and exit without getting caught, hehe!''
Lucan explained his plan, the blue guy did not say anything else.
Lucan said, ''Everyone, come here, I got the stabilizer tool! With this, your cosmic energy can be temporarily fixed.''
This tool allowed users to manipulate cosmic energy without any instabilities and fluctuations, this method was extremely valuable, such a tool could not be found anywhere else.
But Lucan used the 30% fragment of that mountain, compared to it, this was nothing, however, this tool had a flaw, it could only be used temporarily.
Moreover, using this would make their cosmic energy useless if they used it without the tool in the future, hence, only in extreme situations would anyone use it, in simple words, it was a last resort.
But Lucan already knew this, if he used the method from Lord, it could be permanently fixed, but where could one find so many dead creatures? Or how could they slaughter so many aliens?
Hence, Lucan said to all the hesitant aliens, ''Guys! I know the flaw, but endure it for now, once we enter the planet, we can use the dead creatures!''
They all agreed except the blue guy, Lucan could not force him, so he left him as it was.
The blue guy asked, ''Why didn't you exchange the 30% fragment for dead creatures? You are scheming something!''
Lucan sighed as he showed them the current information, Lord had taken the remaining 70% of the mountain and escaped, he had exposed Lucan's methods and tools.
This news was spreading rapidly among all planets, hence no one would exchange dead creatures with Lucan, why would they strengthen their enemy?
If he invaded their planets, what could they do?
His reputation and strength rose rapidly, so everyone became vigilant, Lucan had no other choice, he did everything he could.
Lucan spoke, ''But no worries, now we are heading to the lifespan-increasing location, I planned to go there years later, but everything does not always go according to plans!
Before that, I advise all of you to strengthen yourselves, we are going to increase our lifespan, that region is highly dangerous, even countless figures like Lord could not survive easily there.
The place is heavily sealed and guarded to prevent danger, we have to gamble now, because not only can we increase lifespan, we can also sell the method to enter that region to others.
The value is comparable to that unbreakable mountain, and this includes lifespan too, even if they are wary of me, the benefits will outweigh the fear.''
Eventually, the blue guy also agreed to use it, they all went to different parts of the spaceship to train, only the fate guy and Lucan remained.
The fate guy smiled and said, ''Lucan, you are making me more indebted to you, how will I ever repay you?''
Lucan laughed as he patted his back, he replied, ''I owe you my life, don't forget, fate guy! Now let me take control of the spaceship, you go and rest, there is a structure called a bed for sleeping, try it, it is from Earth, you will surely love it!''
The fate guy left, Lucan smiled gently as he looked at a book, he said, ''You are the reason my journey started! Hehe! I read you when I was 11.''
He looked again at the last page where it was written, 'Space is infinite. It has neither boundaries nor edges. It is a vast and endless place.'
His lips curled up, his eyes showed deep satisfaction, he went forward and looked at the vast space outside, it was filled with countless stars and planets.
The cosmic surroundings reminded him of when he stood at the cliff before leaving Earth, he thought, ''I wonder what the situation is now on Earth.''
On Earth, his mother and sister were sitting with gloomy expressions in front of a photo.
His mother said, ''Oh Lucan, I never knew you took your goal so seriously.''
His sister replied, ''If I hadn't said that, he wouldn't have taken this step, the space organizations found a signal, but when they arrived, only a letter was left behind by Lucan.
All of us believed he was just missing, but now we searched everywhere, there is no trace of him, do you really think he left Earth, Mom?''
She replied, ''I just hope he didn't leave Earth.''
From behind, a voice came, ''Hmm! Good! If he truly left Earth and is pursuing his goal, I am really happy.''
It was his dad.
The other two were surprised, Lucan's dad continued, ''Not just me, we all had ambitions and goals in life, but we left them for superficial reasons, my son did not.
I truly believe in him, one day he will reach the end of space and find the truth beyond everything.''
He laughed with deep satisfaction, ''Oh Lucan, no matter what happens, never give up, persevere and reach your goal.''
