Chapter 710: Man of the Time
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
Bai Xinghe was recruited to a starship when he was eleven . Talented as he might have been, he was merely an ordinary person and could only serve as a sailor .
Maybe the deities were indeed watching over him . His luck continued, and he survived the fierce battles one time after another . His experience in fighting grew more and more abundant . He became stronger and stronger .
When he was fourteen, his spiritual root was awakened, and he became a Cultivator .
Then, his life was unstoppable like a flooding river .
At first, nearly at the cost of his own life, he rescued the leader of the pirate gang who bought him and pushed him into the abyss of Spider Den . He gradually won the leader's trust and became his right-hand man .
Then, he conspired with a bigger pirate gang and buried the leader once and for all in a perfect betrayal .
However, he did not take the opportunity to take over the pirate gang . Instead, he joined the bigger pirate gang together with the pirate gang he used to be in .
Several years later, the leader of the bigger pirate gang died abruptly .
What was weirder was that Bai Xinghe, who had only begun his career a few years earlier and had no expertise or connections, was appointed as the new leader of the pirate gang .
Everybody agreed to the decision unanimously, except for the dozens of dead people whose throats were cut in the night .
In the decades that followed, there was a series of schemes, treacheries, massacres, alliances, and betrayals .
Bai Xinghe, the orphan who survived the cosmic storm and the treasure hunter who struggled to survive in the underground abyss of Spider Den, grasped one starship after another, and then crystal suit centers, and then docks .
In the end, the 'Abyss Pirate Gang', governed by him, became the strongest pirate gang on Spider Den, and he personally gained control over the largest number of docks and crystal suit centers, thereby known as the well-deserved 'Pirate Potentate'!
During the decades of his rise, even the most ferocious space pirates would cry when they heard his name . The destruction of countless pirate gangs seemed to be related to him, but every operation had been clean without any traces . Therefore, the guardians of the rules of darkness could do nothing about it .
However, when he became the Pirate Potentate, he suddenly turned into the most loyal enforcer of the rules of darkness and started talking about 'traditions' with everybody .
He collected the evidence of the pirate gang's previous crimes diligently and revealed it in public in the meetings of the Nine Dragons Union . Then, he struck the pirate gangs under the name of the Nine Dragons Union and took over their assets and manpower matter-of-factly . His forces further expanded .
As a result, not only was Bai Xinghe's personal strength getting higher and higher, other space pirates also became dutiful and obedient, intimidated by him .
It was not exaggerating to say that the recent decades were the golden era for Spider Den, when the society was most stable, and the crimes were fewest .
With so many docks and crystal suit centers, it had been a long time since the Abyss Pirate Gang went looting personally . They could lord over other pirate gangs and absorb blood from them .
It was one of the benefits of staying at the top of the food chain .
Even Fengyu Zhong, the old, cunning fox, is so wary of Bai Xinghe . It seems that he is not going to be easy to deal with .
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao meant to scratch his hair, only to touch his solid helmet . He then realized that he had been the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit all the time over the past month and had not taken it off other than when he was refilling spiritual energy .
Other than the information, Fengyu Zhong also recorded a very interesting anecdote .
It was a secret about Bai Xinghe's rise .
Even in a place where personal ability was valued and familial background was overlooked such as Spider Den, Bai Xinghe was still a living legend to have risen from a rat-like treasure hunter into the greatest king of space pirates in only a hundred years .
When people analyzed Bai Xinghe's skyrocketing rise, they found that he was always able to take out a huge amount of powerful magical equipment .
Then, word on the street was that Bai Xinghe had a 'Spider Key' in his possession .
The underground of Spider Den was a complicated fortress . Such a fortress naturally had a control center, a map, and a key to turn off all the traps .
Over the past thousand years, no space pirate had been able to locate the control center or the key .
Many space pirates suspected that Bai Xinghe had crawled into certain secret tunnels and found the center of the underground fortress with the help of his tiny body size during his early years when he was still a treasure hunter . He must have retrieved a detailed map and a key to enter every room of the underground fortress!
In such a case, the arsenals, magical equipment, and techniques buried for ten thousand years were naturally all his!
With such extensive resources, and also because he was an unparalleled genius himself, it was only reasonable that Bai Xinghe became the dominator of Spider Den!
When the rumor was out, all the space pirates were grasped by jealousy . Some planned to steal, and some planned to rob . Seven pirate gangs joined hands, hoping to annihilate the Abyss Pirate Gang and take the Spider Key .
In the end, Bai Xinghe destroyed all the seven pirate gangs and swallowed them instead!
Then, it was said that the Spider Key did not exist and that it was a false message released by Bai Xinghe's opponent so that everybody would turn against him .
But a more terrifying theory was that, although the Spider Key did not exist, it was Bai Xinghe who released the false message . His purpose was to lure other pirate gangs into attacking him so that he could launch a counterattack justifiably . In such a case, he would still be abiding by the rules of darkness on Spider Den and swallowing other pirate gangs to expand his forces at the same time .
