Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 483 - 471 Yimoduoya
On the outskirts of the Great Snow Mountain, in a town called Lodanba Town, Bai Zhongqi and Zero sat in a semi-open-air tavern while two young men, Zang Murenqing and Ze Pei, were outside, negotiating with a horse dealer to buy several Guan Cangma horses that could navigate mountain paths and had good stamina.
The looks of Zero were truly exceptional. Although Lodanba Town was a place frequented by merchants and travelers, there had rarely been a woman as stunningly beautiful as Zero. Bai Zhongqi noticed that nearly every merchant and swordsman in the tavern couldn’t help but steal glances in their direction.
Zero, on the other hand, joked about it, "It seems that on this planet, a beautiful woman is really a burden. If she were with someone without strength, she would definitely be taken away."
Bai Zhongqi could only smile helplessly, "I really wish everyone would pay more attention to their own safety. Seeking death is not a fun matter."

Zero held Bai Zhongqi’s hand and said, "This planet called Yimoduoya is really quite different. Last night, I paid close attention to the celestial patterns. Although I don’t have a supercomputer to assist me with calculations, the star map is too unfamiliar. I even doubt whether we are still in the Galaxy."
Then she picked up a cup of barley tea, took a gentle sip, and said, "Of course, right now we can’t even be sure whether we are still in the Second Universe. We emerged from the Void, and the possibility to switch back to the Second Universe is minimal."
Just as Bai Zhongqi was pondering these issues, a big man wearing a fur overcoat and a tiny braid on his rounded head came over, threw several gold nuggets on their table, and barked loudly, "Hey, pretty boy, your lady there catches my eye. Take the gold and scram."
Bai Zhongqi sighed helplessly; it really seemed like whatever he didn’t want to happen, happened. He glanced around the tavern and noticed many eager faces. Clearly, the harsh climate in the small Lodanba Town meant there weren’t many women, and all the passing merchants and swordsmen, let alone seeing a knock-out beauty like Zero, might even struggle mentally when spotting a sow before managing to keep their pants on.
Before Bai Zhongqi could respond, Zang Murenqing, who had noticed the disturbance outside, rushed back in first. This young man, with the air of a martial arts novel protagonist, wasn’t the type to reason much and drew the Damascus-like sword from his waist without a second word. The swords here were somewhat like Damascus blades, edged on one side and straight on the other, with a broad blade that indicated a not-so-low level of metallurgy.
Zang Murenqing’s sword move left no room for negotiation, and the big man was so frightened that he broke out into a sweat. The men at his table all drew their swords to help, but the young Zang Murenqing was incredibly fierce and brave, wielding his long sword ferociously with every move being lethal. Additionally, Zang Murenqing’s swordplay was particularly agile, making him exceptionally nimble in his slashing and thrusting.
Within just four or five moves, Zang Murenqing made a slanting thrust that chopped off half of the man’s ear. The men discerned that Zang Murenqing’s attire and skills were not ordinary, and without uttering a harsh word, nor taking the gold, they left while covering their bleeding ears.
Throughout the fight, Zang Murenqing kept an eye on Bai Zhongqi’s expression. He noticed that Bai Zhongqi’s expression had not changed at all, remaining unfluctuated even as he watched the fight. As for that incredibly beautiful woman, she had been focusing all her attention on Bai Zhongqi the entire time.
Zang Murenqing concluded, "It must be a dragon slayer at the peak of their power who would disregard my skills so."
Zang Murenqing respectfully said to Bai Zhongqi, "My apologies, sir. Lodanba Town is just like this—the traveling merchants hire many swordsmen as guards, and those not hired turn to highway robbery. There is no lord who rules this area, nor one who could control such a place, so it has always been like this."
Bai Zhongqi waved his hand, indicating he didn’t mind.
Zang Murenqing, who was highly skilled and dressed not as an ordinary swordsman but rather like a distinguished young lord, had single-handedly fended off four burly men, causing others with similar intentions to think twice. Bai Zhongqi, sitting there appearing harmless to both humans and animals, led Zang Murenqing, and some merchants not interested in the brothel became eager to make his acquaintance.
If he was a great lord or a major businessman from some place, forging some connections would certainly be beneficial.
Bai Zhongqi understood the people’s mentality quite clearly; he was unobtrusive and silently observed everything. The information he could gather was still quite limited, he knew this planet was called Yimoduoya and seemed to be a very large habitable planet, with gravity similar to Earth’s. Yimoduoya’s native civilization was quite primitive, the level of productivity was low, but it had some forms of social organization. Of course, these were not the planet’s most significant features. Its main characteristic was a group of uninvited guests—dragons.
Looking at the sheepskin drawings Zang Murenqing carried, which depicted dragons in all kinds of bizarre forms but were essentially large flying reptiles. The people of Yimoduoya believed that dragons were miraculous creatures born in the sun, powerful and ferocious. This was a terrifying species capable of crossing the universe, and they would visit Yimoduoya Star every sixty years, each time staying for three months. During this year, the ferocious evil dragons would cause great suffering for all living creatures on the planet, wreaking havoc and feeding on humans and various other organisms. Once they had caused enough destruction, they would flap their wings and fly out of the atmosphere, returning to space.
Bai Zhongqi had indeed seen in the Iridium Star’s database that some biologists believed there were powerful species in the universe capable of breaking free from a planet’s gravity and traveling through space individually. Clearly, the dragons on Yimoduoya fit this description.
Bai Zhongqi deduced that dragons might be a kind of migratory animal in the universe, having a fixed migration route, possibly on a sixty-year cycle, arriving in one place and voraciously consuming and destroying resources. If they did not migrate, their destructive power was enough to cause the extinction of all species on a planet. By leaving some survivors and then moving on to another planet to wreak havoc, and then to another, the sixty years could allow a planet’s ecosystem to recover and its biological population to rebound, providing them with sufficient food when they returned sixty years later.
If the situation really was as Bai Zhongqi deduced, in the manner of shearing sheep, then these dragons obviously possessed high intelligence.
However, upon realizing that Yimoduoya harbored such creatures capable of interstellar travel, the first thing that Bai Zhongqi and Zero thought of was to obtain the DNA of these dragons. This way, the Swarm might be able to acquire the breeding capabilities of starship-level enslaved beasts, and Bai Zhongqi could naturally return to space.
