"Does this mean... we've submitted to him?"
“This is not submission, He Xi.”
Keisha closed her eyes.
"This is... survival. Angel Nebula must never follow the same path as Lieyang."
Fiery Sun Star.
The final moment has finally arrived.
Kukulkan's body tightened further and further. The enormous star had begun to collapse irregularly, and the material ejected from its surface even swept through the atmosphere of the Sun Star, creating a sea of fire.
"His Majesty!"
Pan Zhen knelt on the ground, letting out his final, mournful cry...
Above the Earth, the enormous golden face slowly rotated, taking one last, deep look at the blue planet below and at the bored-looking man.
That look contained so much. There was boundless hatred, endless regret, a lingering attachment to power, and a trace of... awe and liberation from absolute power.
"..."
The grand voice rang out again, but this time, it was filled with desolation and bleakness.
"You... won."
After uttering these three words, the enormous golden face began to transform into countless specks of light, no longer displaying the majesty and grandeur of its descent, but rather scattered like a pile of sand, blown away by the wind.
These points of light did not dissipate into the world, but instead seemed to be drawn together by some invisible force, forming a golden torrent that poured into the intermittently appearing "Human Emperor Banner" behind Zhou Ye.
hum-
The black banner trembled slightly.
Among the countless twisted, wailing vengeful spirits, one stood out as exceptionally dazzling. It was a majestic figure clad in golden imperial robes and wearing a crown. He was bound by countless chains and torn apart by countless vengeful spirits, yet he still stood tall, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared at the world beyond the banner.
Lieyang Star, Ancient God King, Emperor Hongkun.
Officially moved in, Emperor's Banner.
As Di Hongkun "moved in," Kukulkan, the feathered serpent goddess entwined with the sun of Lieyang Star, slowly unfurled her body. Her golden eyes, as bright as stars, gave one last indifferent glance to the ravaged planet before her form rapidly shrank, and with a flash of light, she vanished into the universe.
The next second, on the shore of the lake, the girl with long emerald green hair and bare feet reappeared beside Zhou Ye. After bowing slightly, she turned into specks of green fluorescence and disappeared into the air.
The doomsday of Lieyang Star has been lifted.
But the entire Lieyang civilization had already knelt. Their 0.0 God-King had sacrificed himself to preserve the civilization. This news, like the most violent stellar storm, instantly swept across the entire known universe.
An era has come to an end.
A new, chilling era has begun.
Zhou Ye acted as if he had done something insignificant. He didn't even bother to look at the sky again, but instead turned his gaze back to Dukao, who was now pale and looked like he had lost his soul.
"I've made your choice for you."
"Now it is your turn."
"Ten days."
Zhou Ye held up a finger and waved it in front of Dukaan.
"Remember, it's Earth time."
After saying that, he ignored the distraught war maniac and turned to the still-dazed Feng Shayan, saying, "Let's go, I'm a little hungry. Let's see if there's any barbecue nearby."
"Ah? Oh... Oh! Okay, sir!" Feng Shayan seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly ran after him.
Only Dukao remained, kneeling alone on the dock stained blood-red by the setting sun, with the silence of the entire world behind him.
Chapter 419 New Rules for Earth
The Juxia, underground command center.
When Ducao walked in like a zombie, everyone felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
Lianfeng quickly went to meet him, but when she saw Dukao's face, which looked twenty years older in an instant, her lips moved but she couldn't utter a single word.
Dukao didn't look at anyone. He walked straight to the command console, leaned wearily against the table, and slowly closed his eyes. The entire command center was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone awaited his verdict.
"A general meeting of the Super God Academy will be held in ten minutes." His voice was hoarse, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together. "Notify everyone in the Super Soldier Corps that they must be present."
"General..." Lianfeng's voice trembled slightly, "What... was the result?"
Dukao opened his eyes, and those eyes, which were once full of calculation and determination, were now filled with only lifeless ashes.
"no result."
"Only...notification."
Ten minutes later, the briefing room of the Juxia was filled with young people with different expressions.
Ge Xiaolun was fidgeting and scratching his head, Liu Chuang had his legs crossed and looked impatient, while Zhao Xin was whispering something to Qi Lin. Lena had already left.
When Dukao and Lianfeng walked in, everyone fell silent.
Dukao stepped to the front of the stage and looked around at the "gods" he had personally selected, the ones who carried the future of Earth. His gaze swept across each face, finally settling on Ge Xiaolun and Lena.
"Long story short."
Dukao's voice was eerily calm.
"From today onwards, Project Black Wall is terminated."
"Deno III, along with all military forces and scientific personnel in the Deno system, will be evacuated from Earth within ten days."
boom!
One stone caused a thousand waves!
"What the hell?!"
Liu Chuang was the first to jump up, kicking over the chair in front of him.
"Dukao! What the hell are you talking about? Evacuate? Where are we going?!"
"That's right, General!"
Zhao Xin panicked, "Aren't the Taotie about to attack? If we leave, what will happen to Earth?"
Ge Xiaolun was completely stunned. His face flushed red, and he stammered, "..."
"Why...why? Aren't we...aren't we supposed to protect the Earth?"
The entire briefing room instantly descended into chaos.
"Quiet!"
Lianfeng slammed her hand on the table, tears welling in her eyes, and shouted sharply.
The chaotic scene fell silent.
Dukao raised his hand, signaling Lianfeng not to say anything more. He looked at the excited, angry, and confused young people in front of him, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
"why?"
He repeated, with a self-deprecating laugh, "There's no reason why."
“Because, from today onwards, this planet has a new master. And we…” He pointed to himself, then to everyone present, “we are just unwelcome guests.”
He didn't explain Di Hongkun's "fall" in detail, nor did he describe the feathered serpent god that blotted out the sky. He knew that such terror, beyond comprehension, was indescribable. To speak of it would only utterly demoralize these warriors who hadn't yet truly matured.
"I don't agree!"
Liu Chuang's neck was stiff, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Why should we? This is our home! We were born and raised here! Just because he tells us to get out, we have to leave? Who does he think he is? The Jade Emperor?!"
"He is not the Jade Emperor."
A cold, clear voice came from the corner.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lena slowly walking in.
There were no tears on her face, only a deep-seated numbness and emptiness.
"He... is the one who can decide whether the Jade Emperor lives or dies."
Lena looked at Liu Chuang and said, word by word,
“My grandfather, the guardian deity of Lieyang Star, Di Hongkun. Just an hour ago, I offended him and was… dealt with by him.”
"Now, do you still want to ask why?"
Lena's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's heads.
Liu Chuang stared, unable to utter a single word. Ge Xiaolun and the others were even more stunned, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
Di Hongkun!
Lena's grandfather! The god of the blazing sun!
That was a true "god" in their understanding! And just like that... it was "dealt with"?
The briefing room fell into a deathly silence once again. This time, it was a silence born of fear.
……
In the universe, the reactions of major powers are much faster than those of the Super Soldier Squad.
Angel Nebula.
Keisha's orders were transmitted to the terminals of every angel warrior at an unprecedented speed.
"Holy Keisha issues a public statement to the known universe: The Angelic Civilization will strictly adhere to the principle of peaceful coexistence and recognizes the independent and autonomous status of Earth's civilization. From this day forward, no unit or individual belonging to the Angelic Nebula may enter the Solar System without permission. The angelic order of justice will no longer apply to Earth. This statement is the highest directive."
This statement is tantamount to dropping a nuclear bomb into space.
The proud angel who had been proud for tens of thousands of years, the holy Keisha who took "justice" as her faith and judged countless civilizations, actually... took the initiative to back down? And so thoroughly, so decisively, that she even put down the banner of "justice" herself.
Next, came the demon.
On Pluto's orbit, Mona practically roared the order.
"Withdraw! Everyone! All spaceships! All demons! Immediately, right now, get the hell out of the solar system! Get as far away as possible! Anyone who dares to look back, I'll personally turn them into fertilizer!"
