Chapter 493 Awakening

When Dussaca saw Byrut killed just like that, he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood, cursing in exasperation.

“Useless, useless, useless!”

At this moment, after defeating Byrut, Su Ming did not relax. He still gritted his teeth, as the crisis had not yet been resolved. Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, he single-handedly controlled Ilyinas, rushing to the front of the enemy army. He raised the Dragonic Spear in his hand and roared loudly.

“Absolute Domain · Field Destruction! Activate!”

The neural lines within Ilyinas’s body erupted with brilliant light, and its biological reaction instantly surged, as terrifying power fluctuations swept out!

In an instant, throughout the entire star system, excluding the Star Destroyers, the energy barriers of all other Mechas and warships completely disintegrated.

“This…”

Facing this sudden change, the people of Apocalypse Divine Kingdom all showed expressions of extreme horror, unconsciously retreating.

At this moment, Su Ming shouted to everyone.

“All units, break through! Those who stand in our way will die!”

“Charge!”

Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Corona Ann excitedly led his troops, charging towards the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom’s encirclement.

Celes immediately implanted combat programs into the remaining Silver Executors, instructing them to cover the troops’ breakthrough, and then she directly disconnected.

Inside the underground base · Armory.

Celes then opened the bio-tank and floated out. She then activated a delayed explosion and shouted to Haixia and the others.

“Retreat quickly!”

“Alright!”

Haixia immediately opened the cockpit.

After Celes floated in, Haixia immediately closed the cockpit and controlled the Mecha to rush out at full speed.

In the starry sky.

The soldiers of Apocalypse Divine Kingdom were instantly completely intimidated by Su Ming, scattering to the sides and directly clearing a path.

At this time, Serbin’s subordinate also inquired via private communication.

“Lord Serbin, the resistance army is about to break through. Should we intercept them?”

“No, let them go.”

Serbin had no desire to continue fighting. On one hand, Su Ming was truly too terrifying, and on the other hand, after listening to Su Ming’s speech, he felt utterly disgusted.

“Understood.”

The subordinates present all responded.

At this moment, Dussaca saw that his subordinate soldiers were actually cowardly and did not dare to block, and he roared furiously in the public channel.

“Go for it! If anyone doesn’t go, I’ll wipe out their entire family.”

Upon hearing Dussaca’s words, Su Ming immediately controlled Ilyinas to turn its head and look at Dussaca.

Suddenly, Dussaca felt as if he had been targeted by the God of Death, cold sweat streaming down his back. He immediately shouted to Feielu.

“Quick, quick, go!”

His intuition told him that if he didn’t escape now, he would definitely die here today.

Upon hearing Dussaca’s words, Feielu immediately controlled the V Generation Mecha · Shadow Hunter to turn and flee, running faster than anyone else.

When Hofri and the others saw Dussaca running away by himself, their faces turned as black as charcoal, and they had even less desire to rush forward and intercept.

The massive resistance army, led by Holy Shadow Fortress, quickly broke through the encirclement.

At this moment, Su Ming also had veins bulging on his face, gritting his teeth, controlling the pseudo-VI Generation Bio-Mecha · Ilyinas to stand in the starry sky, intimidating the entire Apocalypse Divine Kingdom army.

At this moment, Haixia flew past Su Ming with Celes, and he turned his head in shock to look at Ilyinas, his face filled with disbelief.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, the resistance army successfully broke through the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom’s encirclement, and countless Mechas swarmed into Holy Shadow Fortress and the remaining warships.

Ilyinas said to Su Ming somewhat urgently.

“That’s enough, Su Ming!”

Su Ming gritted his teeth and controlled Ilyinas to erupt, transforming into a terrifying stream of light, directly chasing after the Holy Shadow Fortress that had broken through.

Serbin and the others watched Su Ming leave, not a single person daring to go up and stop him.

In the blink of an eye, Ilyinas caught up with the fleeing Holy Shadow and directly rushed through the boarding passage.

The entire Mecha, like a cannonball, slammed into the hangar, sliding directly along the ground, knocking over a pile of mechanical equipment before finally coming to a stop.

Ilyinas immediately disconnected the super-neural link on its own, and Su Ming instantly felt the entire world go dark, completely falling unconscious.

Immediately after, Ilyinas opened the bio-cabin.

At this moment, An Ruoxue controlled the Youguang Envoy, rushed to Ilyinas’s side, opened her own bio-cabin, and leaped into Ilyinas’s bio-cabin.

She saw the unconscious Su Ming, immediately stepped forward to embrace him, and cried out in panic.

“Su Ming!”

However, Su Ming did not respond at all.

Seeing this, An Ruoxue hurriedly removed the combat armor from his body. She then saw that the contaminated bloodstains on Su Ming’s body were red to purple, terrifying to the extreme.

She immediately carried Su Ming and jumped out of the cockpit.

At this moment, Corona Ann, Celes, Emka In, and the others all gathered around.

“Quick, give him medicine, it’s in his pocket.”

Celes scanned Su Ming and shouted in a high-pitched voice.

Upon hearing Celes’s words, An Ruoxue immediately took out the medicine bottle from his pocket.

She immediately poured out two pills, directly put them into her mouth and chewed them, then kissed Su Ming, delivering the medicine into his mouth.

But even after An Ruoxue administered the medicine, Su Ming’s condition showed no improvement.

Celes cried out somewhat frantically.

“It’s no use, the medicine isn’t working, quickly call a doctor!”

“Father, quickly call Dr. Oliger!”

Upon hearing Celes’s words, An Ruoxue anxiously shouted to Corona Ann.

“I’ve called him, he’ll be here right away!”

Corona Ann was also very anxious.

Fortunately, at this moment, Dr. Oliger arrived, panting, with a group of physicians.

“Dr. Oliger, please save Su Ming quickly!”

An Ruoxue said to Oliger, her eyes red.

“Miss, don’t worry! I’ll examine him right away.”

Oliger immediately picked up a portable examination device and began to test Su Ming.

Beep beep ~

The examination device immediately blared wildly, and the contamination value could not even be displayed.

Upon seeing this, Oliger cried out in extreme shock.

“It’s over, how can the contamination value be so high?”

“I know the value is high, quickly save him!”

Celes urged Oliger.

“There’s no way to save him, he’s 100% going to mutate.”

Oliger replied, his head buzzing.

“Bah, bah, you’re the one who’ll mutate! How could Su Ming mutate?”

Celes, enraged and embarrassed, cursed at Oliger.

Oliger was so scolded by Celes that he had no temper left.

At this moment, Corona Ann said to Oliger.

“Oliger, no matter what method you use, you must save his life!”

“I’ll try. Quickly transfer him to the intensive care unit!”

Oliger also went all out. Although he saw no way for Su Ming to live, he could only try to revive a dead horse now.

An Ruoxue immediately carried Su Ming and rushed towards the mobile platform, with Corona Ann and the others following closely.

—

Several days later, Divine Authority Star · Divine Palace.

Dussaca, Serbin, Hofri, and the others were all kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed.

God Emperor Fanluo sat on the throne, looking at the holographic image displayed before him.

The image showed Su Ming controlling the pseudo-VI Generation Bio-Mecha · Ilyinas to kill Byrut and activate Field Destruction, intimidating the entire scene.

God Emperor Fanluo’s majestic face twisted, his eyes were bloodshot, and his killing intent was overwhelming. Then, he spoke in a chilling voice.

“The underground production base on Saint Timan Planet was raided, Byrut was killed, and even my Dragonic Spear was stolen? Is this the battle report you’re giving me?”

Dussaca knew God Emperor Fanluo’s temper very well, and it was clear he was enraged. He then gritted his teeth and said.

“God Emperor Fanluo, this matter is due to our incompetence. But we truly did not expect the resistance army to collude with the Federation, which is simply too shameful. Moreover, that Byrut was useless; he was more likely to fail than succeed. I originally wanted to leave with the Divine Weapon first, but he insisted on using the Divine Weapon and even used you to pressure me. I really had no choice but to give him the Divine Weapon, which resulted in a great mistake. Please punish me, God Emperor Fanluo.”

“No, no, no, I will not punish you. I will reward you, each of you will be given a Sacred Egg Potion!”

God Emperor Fanluo said with a twisted smile.

Upon hearing God Emperor Fanluo’s words, Hofri and the others all showed expressions of extreme horror, begging for mercy.

“Your Majesty, spare us!”

Although Dussaca’s face was somewhat grim, he did not utter a sound.

“Drag them all out!”

God Emperor Fanluo waved his hand and said with a sneer.

Numerous soldiers stepped forward and dragged Dussaca and the others away.

Soon, only God Emperor Fanluo remained in the hall. He slowly raised his head and spoke ferociously.

“Su Ming! You killed my people! You ruined my plans! Issue an order, spare no effort to find his whereabouts. I will tear him into ten thousand pieces.”

“Yes!”

The subordinates present responded in fear.

—

A month later, Starlight City · Conference Tower, third floor, Audit Office.

Dragon White sat at his desk, coldly looking at Feilong and Jon who stood before him.

Feilong swallowed with difficulty and reported.

“In the Tidal Star Sea, we were attacked by the Qilami Clan, and Apocalypse Divine Kingdom is also pushing back like mad, reinforcing their troops. Now our forces have been suppressed, and the situation is still worsening.”

“I know. What about the Wormhole Time-Space Defense Line?”

Dragon White asked coldly.

“The situation at the Wormhole Time-Space Defense Line is even worse. The Mechanical Clan’s army is constantly assaulting, showing no signs of retreat. Commander Alec De has sent a request for reinforcements to the Council.”

Feilong reported somewhat stutteringly.

Upon hearing Feilong’s words, Dragon White’s expression grew even colder.

At this moment, Jon reported, steeling himself.

“Lord Long Bai, Dark Star Empire is also fiercely attacking the Mist Star Sea, and the Sky Dome City forces in the Donao Star Sea are almost unable to hold them back.”

“I understand.”

Dragon White replied, slightly tired.

After Feilong and Jon finished their reports, they dared not utter another word. These were all bad news; the Federation’s situation was truly dire on all sides.

At this moment, the office door suddenly opened. Feilong and Jon turned their heads in surprise, wondering who was so bold as to enter without knocking.

They then discovered that the person who entered was Fortian from the Night Owl department.

“Lord Long Bai, I have something important to report.”

Fortian walked up to Dragon White and spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Speak!”

Dragon White replied coldly.

“General Su Ming has been found.”

Fortian reported to Dragon White.

Upon hearing Fortian’s words, a rare ripple appeared in Dragon White’s purple eyes.

Feilong and Jon, on the other hand, were overjoyed. Finally, there was news of Su Ming; they had thought Su Ming was dead.

“Where?”

Dragon White immediately pressed for an answer.

“This video was sent back by our undercover agent in Apocalypse Divine Kingdom, at the risk of his life. Please take a look!”

Fortian raised his wristband and tapped it.

A holographic projection appeared, showing Su Ming controlling Ilyinas, passionately encouraging all the resistance forces.

Feilong and Jon’s excited expressions suddenly became very strange upon seeing this, unsure of what to say.

Soon, the projected video finished playing.

Dragon White directly fell silent.

Seeing that Dragon White was not speaking, Feilong tentatively complained to Jon.

“What in the world is Su Ming doing? We’re going crazy with work here, and he’s over there in Apocalypse Divine Kingdom helping people start a rebellion?”

“Exactly, it’s simply too much. When he comes back, we must make him reflect properly.”

Jon also echoed.

At this moment, Dragon White raised his head and said to Fortian.

“Fortian, find a way to locate Su Ming!”

“That might be a bit difficult. Those rebels raided Apocalypse Divine Kingdom’s underground production base on Saint Timan Planet and even killed Byrut. Now God Emperor Fanluo is enraged and has dispatched a large number of troops to search for and encircle them. Also, the rebel army suffered extremely heavy losses in this battle and is completely incapable of fighting against God Emperor Fanluo. Therefore, they have directly gone into hiding, and their traces cannot be found at all.”

Fortian said to Dragon White, somewhat troubled.

“I don’t care what method you use, find him for me and find a way to bring him back.”

Dragon White replied coldly.

“Yes!”

Seeing that Dragon White had said so, Fortian could only respond in a deep voice.

“Also, block the news. No one is allowed to reveal it.”

Dragon White said to Fortian.

“Understood!”

Fortian nodded.

“You may all leave!”

Dragon White waved her hand.

“Yes!”

The three of them, Feilong, breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Dragon White sat alone at her desk, raised her hand, and the previously played image reappeared.

She looked at Su Ming, who was controlling Ilyinas in the image, and a faint smile appeared on her cold face beneath the mask.

—

Five months later.

Holy Shadow Fortress · High-level ward.

Su Ming lay in bed, with an IV drip on his arm.

An Ruoxue, Celes, and Dr. Oliger stood by his side.

“Oliger, are you really capable or not? Aren’t you known as Apocalypse Divine Kingdom’s top research doctor? Why hasn’t Su Ming woken up after all this time?”

Celes complained to Dr. Oliger.

Within the past six months, Celes had also become very familiar with Dr. Oliger and the others.

Oliger replied with a wry smile.

“This is truly unbelievable. I’ve already replaced his blood with rare Star Spirit blood, which, logically speaking, should be effective. Moreover, the level of contamination in his body should have mutated long ago, but he just won’t mutate. It’s too eerie!”

“Don’t make excuses for yourself. If Dr. Blackes were here, Su Ming would have woken up long ago!”

Celes said angrily.

“Sigh~”

Oliger had no temper left after being spoken to by Celes.

“Alright, stop arguing, both of you. I believe Su Ming will wake up one day.”

An Ruoxue looked at the unconscious Su Ming, her expression gentle as she spoke.

Upon hearing An Ruoxue’s words, Oliger’s expression was also somewhat awkward as he said.

“I suddenly remembered some newly developed medicine, and I still have some work to finish. I’ll leave first!”

“I’ll go with you and help you keep an eye on things.”

Celes quickly said.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Oliger then left the ward with Celes.

Soon, only An Ruoxue remained in the room, silently watching Su Ming.

Not long after, the ward door was pushed open, and a female nurse entered, carrying warm water and a towel, respectfully saying.

“Miss, I’m here to wipe and clean General Su Ming’s body.”

“Just leave it there, I’ll do it.”

An Ruoxue said indifferently.

“Alright!”

The nurse then put down the basin and respectfully withdrew.

An Ruoxue picked up the basin and sat beside Su Ming, skillfully unbuttoning his clothes, picking up a soft towel, and carefully wiping his body bit by bit.

At this moment, her gaze fell upon Su Ming’s unconscious face, and her mind suddenly became somewhat entranced. She couldn’t help but recall the first time she met Su Ming at Royal Court Academy.

At that time, she had a very good relationship with Lin Chuyu, and she accidentally learned that Lin Chuyu had a suitor who was so foolish as to try to hang himself for her.

At that time, she thought this person was so foolish and weak, but she never expected to be somewhat amazed the first time she saw Su Ming.

In their subsequent interactions, she found General Su Ming to be upright, intelligent, exceptionally capable, principled, and even well-mannered. He was nothing like the kind of person who would pester someone relentlessly or be so emotionally fragile as to give up easily. Unconsciously, she found herself attracted to him.

Later, she saw General Su Ming pursue Lin Chuyu all the way to the Guangying Star Sea. At that moment, she truly envied Lin Chuyu, wondering why she didn’t have such a wonderful person pursuing her.

What made An Ruoxue most annoyed was that Lin Chuyu was pushing such an excellent man away, even though he wouldn’t want her even if she threw herself at him.

As An Ruoxue thought about this, her heart felt increasingly heavy.

Just then, as she wiped below, she suddenly touched a large ‘radish’ and curiously reached out to squeeze it.

For a moment, she was puzzled. General Su Ming’s physical functions were clearly normal, so why wasn’t he interested in her? Could it really be that she was very ugly?

At this moment, within the dark world.

General Su Ming sat alone on the throne, completely motionless.

The surrounding scenery constantly shifted, with illusory figures appearing and disappearing, and chaotic sounds swirling around General Su Ming’s ears.

“Failure!”

“Why are you so cold and heartless towards us!”

“King, we agreed to create a new world together, you cannot give up!”

General Su Ming silently watched those past illusions, feeling extremely tired. He wondered if the more one experienced, the more exhausted one became.

For a moment, he also felt a bit lost.

Just then, General Su Ming suddenly felt an unusual sensation in his body, and then a faint light suddenly shone in the dark world.

Inside the ward.

An Ruoxue’s eyes were somewhat lost in thought, and her whole body remained still.

“Ruoxue, what are you doing?”

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

“Nothing!”

An Ruoxue was startled, quickly let go of her hand, and spoke in a flustered manner.

Then An Ruoxue suddenly reacted, turned her head to look at General Su Ming, and their eyes met. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she cried tears of joy as she reached out and hugged General Su Ming, exclaiming,

“General Su Ming, you’re awake!”

“Hmm, could you help me get dressed first?”

General Su Ming replied somewhat awkwardly.

“Okay!”

An Ruoxue quickly helped General Su Ming tidy his clothes.

“Ruoxue, where is this?”

General Su Ming slowly turned his head, surveyed the ward, and asked with a slight headache.

“This is Holy Shadow Fortress.”

An Ruoxue said with moist eyes.

“We escaped?”

General Su Ming asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.

“Yes, you don’t need to worry about that. We escaped a long time ago.”

An Ruoxue replied to General Su Ming.

“How long have I been unconscious? Why is my head so heavy?”

General Su Ming felt his head spinning.

An Ruoxue was also startled by General Su Ming’s words and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing An Ruoxue’s expression was a bit off, General Su Ming asked in confusion.

“General Su Ming, you’ve been unconscious for five months.”

An Ruoxue said to General Su Ming.

“Five months? Hiss!”

General Su Ming was also surprised by An Ruoxue’s words, and he instinctively sat up, then gasped in pain.

An Ruoxue quickly supported General Su Ming, advising him worriedly.

“General Su Ming, don’t get excited!”

“It’s fine, I was just startled.”

General Su Ming gradually calmed down.

“I’ll notify Dr. Oliger and the others to come over immediately and check your body.”

An Ruoxue raised her wristband and tapped a few times, sending out the message.

Not long after, Oliger and Celes rushed back in a hurry.

“General Su Ming, you’re finally awake! I knew you wouldn’t die.”

Celes exclaimed with great excitement.

“Sorry for making you worry.”

General Su Ming forced a smile and said to Celes.

Oliger, on the other hand, quickly stepped forward to give General Su Ming a full body check.

Just then, there was a hurried sound of footsteps, and then Corona Ann and Emka In rushed in. Seeing the awakened General Su Ming, they said happily,

“General Su Ming, you’re awake.”

“Hmm!”

General Su Ming looked at Corona Ann and Emka In and replied politely.

“You’ve been unconscious for so long, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Corona Ann quickly asked.

“No, thank you for your concern.”

General Su Ming forced a smile and replied.

“Don’t say that, we haven’t had a chance to thank you yet. If it weren’t for you, we would have been trapped and died long ago.”

Corona Ann said with deep emotion.

“No need to be so polite, An Ruoxue and I are very good friends.”

General Su Ming said to Corona Ann with a smile.

“Hmm, Dr. Oliger, how is General Su Ming’s physical condition?”

Corona Ann nodded and responded.

“Uh, the contamination on his body is still very serious, but he hasn’t mutated for so long, and he’s awake, so there should be no life-threatening danger. As long as he rests well, he should be able to recover.”

Oliger thought for a moment and replied.

“That’s good, General Su Ming, please rest well. We won’t disturb you now. We’ll come back to see you after you’ve recovered a bit.”

Corona Ann said to General Su Ming.

“Okay!”

General Su Ming nodded.

Several days later.

In the advanced ward, General Su Ming lay on the bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling.

Just then, An Ruoxue walked in with a basin of water. She looked at the somewhat distracted General Su Ming and said with a smile,

“What are you spacing out about?”

“Nothing.”

General Su Ming came back to his senses and replied.

“I’ll help you wipe your body.”

An Ruoxue walked to General Su Ming’s side and wrung out a towel.

“No need, I can move now, I’ll do it myself.”

General Su Ming immediately sat up from the bed, preparing to get off and wipe himself.

“No need, quickly lie down. Besides, it’s not the first time I’ve wiped you. Everything that needs to be seen has been seen, no need to be so shy.”

An Ruoxue pressed General Su Ming back onto the bed and said playfully to him.

“Cough cough, Ruoxue, how are things with you all now?”

General Su Ming coughed awkwardly, then changed the subject and asked.

An Ruoxue wiped General Su Ming while sighing and saying,

“It’s very bad. After Saint Timan Planet fell, God Emperor Fanluo was enraged and dispatched a large number of troops to encircle and search for us. We can only hide like rats now.”

“Hmm.”

General Su Ming responded with some silence upon hearing this.

Just then, Corona Ann also walked in, looked at General Su Ming, and asked with a smile,

“General Su Ming, are you feeling better?”

“Much better, I can already get out of bed now.”

General Su Ming replied gratefully.

“That’s good.”

Corona Ann nodded and replied.

“Um, Lord Corona Ann, I have something I’d like to ask for your help with.”

General Su Ming said calmly to Corona Ann.

“Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse.”

“Can you send me back to the Federation?”

“This, General Su Ming, listen to me. The Federation’s situation is very bad right now. The Three Great Forbidden Zones and the Tidal Star Sea are all under attack from the alien races, the Dark Star Empire, and the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom. The war is very critical. It would be very dangerous for you to go back now, it’s better to stay here.”

Corona Ann briefly explained the situation to General Su Ming.

General Su Ming’s brows immediately furrowed upon hearing Corona Ann’s words. This wasn’t just bad; it was utterly terrible. It meant everyone was ganging up on the Federation.

He also asked with some confusion,

“Lord Corona Ann, why is everyone attacking the Federation?”

“I’m not clear about that. The main problem lies with Council Speaker Long Xian. Logically speaking, he should have come out a long time ago, but he still hasn’t appeared. If Council Speaker Long Xian could come out, the Federation’s situation wouldn’t be this bad.”

Corona Ann explained to General Su Ming.

“Hmm, Lord Corona Ann, how much do you know about Council Speaker Long Xian?”

General Su Ming, after hearing Corona Ann’s words, also strongly agreed. If Council Speaker Long Xian came out, he could not only deter enemies but also mobilize various resources, and the situation wouldn’t be so bad.

“Uh, if my father were still alive, he might know something, but I really don’t.”

Corona Ann shook his head and replied.

“Alright.”

General Su Ming replied with some regret.

“Of course, you don’t need to regret it. Although I don’t know this kind of information, there’s one person who definitely knows some inside information. You can ask him.”

Corona Ann said to General Su Ming.

“Who?”

“Former Apocalypse Divine Kingdom Archbishop, Emka In.”

Corona Ann said to General Su Ming.

“Thank you.”

General Su Ming immediately reacted upon hearing Corona Ann’s words. Emka In was so old and had been an Archbishop for a long time, so he must know some inside information.

“You’re welcome. Just rest assured and recuperate here. As for returning to the Federation, you’d best reconsider.”

“I know you mean well, but precisely because the Federation’s situation is dire, I need to go back even more.”

“Sigh, alright! Then once your injuries are better, I’ll personally arrange a ship to send you off.”

Corona Ann said to General Su Ming.

“Thank you.”

General Su Ming felt a slight sense of relief when Corona Ann agreed.

Just then, Emka In pushed open the ward door and walked in. He had shed his usual rigid demeanor and greeted General Su Ming with great enthusiasm.

“General Su Ming, are you feeling better?”

“Yes, much better.”

General Su Ming was a bit surprised by Emka In’s enthusiasm.

At this moment, Emka In glanced at everyone present and said with a smile,

“General Su Ming, may I speak with you alone for a moment?”

“Of course, I also have something I’d like to ask you.”

General Su Ming nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, An Ruoxue and the others all withdrew from the ward, leaving the room to the two of them.

At this moment, Emka In walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking at General Su Ming kindly and asking,

“General Su Ming, if there’s anything you wish to ask, please do so freely.”

“It’s like this, I wanted to ask Lord Emka In, how much do you know about Council Speaker Long Xian? And do you know why everyone is attacking the Federation?”

General Su Ming asked with a serious expression.

Emka In’s brows immediately furrowed, his expression shifting for a moment, then he spoke.

“General Su Ming, let me put it this way: there’s not much to say about Council Speaker Long Xian. He’s no different from a legendary hero; he’s incredibly powerful. Both humans and alien races hold him in great awe! As for why everyone is ganging up on the Federation, I might know something about that.”

“Then, are you at liberty to speak?”

General Su Ming’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

“Why wouldn’t I be at liberty? You saved our lives, this is nothing. Do you know about Council Speaker Long Xian taking Dark Star Emperor and God Emperor Fanluo on an expedition against the alien races?”

Emka In said with a solemn expression.

“I do.”

“During that expedition, Council Speaker took them and fought through the alien races, entering a dark abyss.”

“Abyss?”

General Su Ming’s eyelids twitched violently upon hearing this, and he asked for confirmation.

“Hmm!”

“What kind of abyss?”

“I’m not clear about that, but I do know that when Council Speaker Long Xian and the others returned from the expedition, they brought some things back from the abyss.”

“What things?”

“I’m not sure about that, but I do know that God Emperor Fanluo was able to regain his youth, most likely due to something brought back from the abyss. As for the situation on the Dark Star Empire’s side, it’s probably similar. You can imagine, if the things those two brought back are so heaven-defying, how astonishing must the thing Council Speaker Long Xian holds be!”

Emka In explained to General Su Ming.

“Thank you, Lord Emka In, for clarifying.”

General Su Ming’s heart sank to the bottom upon hearing this. It was just as he suspected, the best item was in the Federation’s hands.

Van Lo and the other had come out of seclusion using the items they brought back. Now, Council Speaker Long Xian had been delayed in coming out of seclusion; it was highly possible that there was a problem with that item, and he hadn’t used it.

If that were the case, then the situation would be very serious. Once it was confirmed that Council Speaker Long Xian had a problem, everyone would go crazy and gang up on the Federation for that item, unless the Federation handed it over.

“No problem. General Su Ming, may I ask you something?”

“Please ask.”

“May I ask your parents’ names? And did your ancestors include anyone from the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom?”

Emka In asked with a smile.

General Su Ming was startled by Emka In’s words, then replied,

“I’m from Thunder God Interstellar Heavy Industry Group. My father is Su Yuan, and my mother is Zhao Ning. I’ve never heard of any ancestors from the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom.”

“Is that so? Then who taught you your spear techniques?”

Emka In asked impatiently.

He recognized General Su Ming’s combat spear techniques at a glance; they were spear techniques passed down by the Divine Lord, never taught outside the temple.

“Um, can I say I taught myself?”

General Su Ming didn’t want to lie to Emka In, nor could he. Others might not know how many people knew this spear technique, but Emka In knew better than anyone.

When Emka In heard General Su Ming’s words, not only did he not feel that General Su Ming was being perfunctory, but his gaze grew even more fervent.

Indeed, it was just as he had guessed: General Su Ming had been blessed by the Divine Lord. He even suspected that General Su Ming was the reincarnation of the Divine Lord.

After all, the sacred texts recorded that the Divine Lord would one day descend upon this world again.

At this moment, General Su Ming also felt a chill down his spine from Emka In’s gaze, and he asked awkwardly,

“I also think it sounds far-fetched, but it’s really like that.”

“No, it’s not far-fetched! General Su Ming, your passionate speech during the breakout really impressed me greatly. I think you are very suitable to lead the Theological Corps and spread the faith of the Divine Lord. I wonder if you are interested in staying?”

Emka In looked at General Su Ming with anticipation.

General Su Ming’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Emka In’s words, and he looked at Emka In in disbelief. Could this guy have seen through something?

However, General Su Ming quickly dismissed this idea. It was absolutely impossible for the other party to discover his identity; it must be a desperate measure.

“I apologize, Lord Emka In, but I truly cannot bear such a heavy responsibility. Moreover, my family is in the Federation, and I will have to return eventually.”

General Su Ming politely refused.

Emka In was very regretful when General Su Ming refused, and he sighed helplessly.

“Sigh~”

“However, in the future, if you ever need help, and I happen to be able to assist, please do not hesitate to ask.”

General Su Ming hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke.

“Good, then I won’t disturb General Su Ming’s rest.”

Emka In smiled and replied when he heard General Su Ming’s words.

“Hmm, take care.”

General Su Ming nodded.

Emka In got up and left the ward.
