Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Blue Star was exceptionally quiet today.
All the companies and factories were on holiday. Most of the people were at home, preparing to watch the empire’s press conference.
Main building, 12th floor’s media hall.
All the lights had been turned on. The reporters who were whispering to each other stopped talking when it was almost ten o’clock sharp.
At 9:58, Gu Changqing, who was wearing the old empire ruler’s military uniform, entered their sights.
He brought Zhang Hu, Taotie, Wu Rui, and Zhao Feng with him from backstage.
The four of them were all wearing the old empire’s Battle Emperors’ military uniforms. They stood tall and straight, and they were imposing without being angry.
Gu Changqing and the others sat down near the podium.
The Empire Channel, which was originally broadcasting advertisements around the world, was synchronized with the cameras over at the conference at this moment.
Everyone stared intently at the scene.
Gu Changqing sat on the main seat and said lightly, “The world has changed, and the human race has suffered heavy losses. In addition, the creatures from outer realms have wreaked havoc. Those who are lucky enough to have survived until now, I know that you haven’t had a good time in the past half a year.”
“Today, I, Gu Changqing, will inherit the old Blue Star Empire’s will and establish a new one that belongs to our era. The suffering you have gone through in the past will not happen again from today onward.”
“With the new empire’s establishment, our Blue Star will enter an era of divine runes.”
“Being born in this era is your suffering, but it is also your fortune!” “The reporters below, if you have any questions, you may ask.”
“However, Everyone can only ask one question at most!”
After Gu Changqing finished speaking, he indicated to the reporters present that they could start asking questions.
Hearing that, a female reporter in front of the station stood up and said, “Mr.
Gu, you are now the empire’s ruler. How should we address you from now on?”
“Title? I don’t care much about the so-called title. The new empire’s establishment doesn’t only belong to me, but millions of other people.”
Gu Changqing looked up and said, “However, if you insist on calling me something, then… You may call me Star Emperor!”
“The old empire was able to suppress the universe, but the new one is in my hands. One day, I will unify the universe.”
“Alright, Your Excellency. Thank you for your answer!”
The female reporter said respectfully and politely before returning to her seat.
Immediately, a male reporter stood up and asked, “Your Excellency, you mentioned the new era of divine runes. Can you tell us how this will be implemented?”
“That’s very simple. The number of divine runes the old empire left is twice the number of Blue Star’s humans! ”
Gu Changqing continued, “From today onward, all those over the age of 16 and below the age of 60 can head to the central city, in the Potential Testing Institute, to undergo a potential index test.”
“Anyone with a potential index of over 500 stars can receive a divine rune. The higher their potential index, the stronger the divine rune they get.”
“It’s very difficult for a body over sixty years old to withstand the power of fusing with a divine rune.”
The old Blue Star Empire had left behind a total of 6-7 billion low-level divine runes, enough to supply the entire human race. “Alright, thank you for your answer, Your Excellency.”
The male reporter replied and returned to his seat.
Another female reporter stood up and asked with admiration and respect,
“Your Excellency, do you have any plans to build an academy for Divine Runemasters after the start of this era?”
Gu Changqing nodded. “Yes. From the academy, the Supreme Alliance’s future members will be selected!” “Yes, thank you, Your Excellency!”
She sat down.
A male reporter stood up and asked, “Your Excellency, some time ago, you slaughtered more than a billion creatures from the universe. May I ask if you are ready to make enemies of most of the creatures up there?”
Gu Changqing nodded slightly and said lightly, “The empire has already made preparations to become enemies with the entire universe!” “Your Excellency is truly domineering. Thank you for the answer!” The male reporter sat down.
Afterward, another female reporter stood up and asked, “May I ask, Your
“In my eyes, all of you are humans, and I treat you equally.”
He paused and continued, “Of course, we treat everyone equally. However, we’re talking about humans, not animals!”
It went without saying who he was referring to.
He had no intention of treating S Country’s people equally. Even the old empire back then wasn’t as cruel as that Country.
To clarify, one must treat foreigners and the same race equally. They must have different views for those who weren’t part of their race.
S Country’s people watching the live broadcast all had ugly expressions on their faces.
“I understand. Thank you for your explanation, Your Excellency!”
The female reporter bowed to Gu Changqing before sitting down.
A male reporter stood up and asked, “Your Excellency, I would like to ask for the sake of the people. How long do we need to develop before we can leave Blue Star and step into the universe?”
Gu Changqing replied lightly, “If we rely on the empire’s high-end combat power, we can set foot there in one or two years.”
“To bring all of mankind, it may take ten, or even a hundred years! It is hard for me to say.”
“Alright, thank you for Your Excellency’s answer!”
After the male reporter finished speaking, he bowed and sat down.
As he sat down, no reporters stood up immediately. They seemed to be thinking about something.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Hu said, “Everyone, if you have anything else to ask, please do it as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, a female reporter stood up and asked, “Your Excellency, in the era of divine runes, will Divine Runemasters be sentenced if they kill each other?”
Gu Changqing heard this and smiled faintly as he said, “Good question! If two parties are discovered to harbor a lot of hatred against each other, there will be no need to sentence them.”
“However, anyone who dares to rely on their own strength to kill innocent people will be given the death punishment.” “We will be announcing new laws after this, so there’s no need to worry!”
“Alright! Thank you for your answer!”
The female reporter bowed and sat down.
After that, many reporters asked all kinds of questions. Gu Changqing patiently answered them one by one.
“Mom, 1…1… I miss Daddy so much! Was it because Yanyan misunderstood that time that Daddy doesn’t want Yanyan anymore? I want to say sorry to Daddy.”
In Division 9, in a luxurious house that was hundreds of square meters wide, Gu Yanyan was sitting on the sofa. She was watching Gu Changqing, who was answering one reporter after another on the TV. Tears were rolling from her big black eyes, and her delicate and cute face was full of worry about being abandoned.
Although she was only three years old, she had not seen her father since that day. She was getting scared and slowly began to think things through.
So what if her father was a bad person?
In the end, he was her father.
She really wanted to apologize to him in person.
Looking at her, Lin Yueyao smiled bitterly and said, “Yanyan, your father has been very busy recently and has no time to visit you.”
She didn’t know if Gu Changqing would come, so she could only comfort the little girl.
At the press conference, Gu Changqing answered questions for about half an hour. Seeing that there were no more reporters asking questions, he left and let Xuanyuan Wangrui and the others arrive.
After Xuanyuan Wangrui arrived with the others at the press conference, they announced the empire’s future development plans. The conference only ended after more than an hour.
After it ended, the Emperor Star Building sent out many of its Emperor Star Guards to leave the central city.
The Emperor Star Guards’ mission was to herd and rear all the mutated beasts around the planet.
In the main office.
Gu Changqing was sitting at his desk, reading through future plans for the empire.
Suddenly, he thought of something. “Xiao Shu, I remember you said before that it wasn’t because of Blue Star unsealing that the animals and plants mutated, and divine runes awakened. So what’s the real cause?”
Xiao Shu replied, “All the answers might be on that blood moon. But Master, you can’t go up there now. It’s covered with an extremely powerful magnetic field. Even a tier-99 Battle Emperor might not be able to enter. There must be a big secret inside.”
“From what you’ve said, there might really be a huge secret hidden on that moon. After all, this anomaly happened too suddenly.”
Gu Changqing was extremely curious about what was lurking on the Blood Moon.
Xiao Shu suddenly said in surprise, “Oh! Master, the Supreme God Platform’s
Super Brain is requesting a call. Do you want to pick it up?”
“The Supreme God Platform’s Super Brain?”
“Yes, it’s the highest-level Super Brain on the platform. As far as I know, it’s always been in Diqin Naxi’s hands.”
“Pick up. I want to see why she’s looking for me.”
“Alright!”
As Xiao Shu finished speaking, a cold and dignified voice suddenly came from the computer, saying, “Hello, I’m Diqin Naxi, the Supreme God Platform’s
9th-generation leader.!”
“I’ve heard so much about you.” Gu Changqing said lightly.
“You’ve heard a lot about me? So you know who I am?”
“The empire’s previous ruler asked me to pass you a message,” He replied, “I didn’t expect you to contact me so quickly.” “Oh? What message did he want to pass?”
“He wanted to tell you he’s sorry for letting you down.”
Diqin Naxi fell silent.
Gu Changqing didn’t disturb her. It seemed that the two of them really did have an affair in the past.
After a while, she said in a low voice, “It’s all in the past. He didn’t let anyone down!”
Gu Changqing lit a cigarette for himself and said calmly, “I don’t understand the relationship between the two of you. Anyway, tell me why you’re looking for me.”
He wasn’t interested in gossip. He had already said what he wanted to say, so it had nothing to do with what the other party felt.
“Alright, I’ll get straight to the point.”
Hearing Gu Changqing’s words, Diqin Naxi didn’t hide anything and said, “In Blue Star’s sealed space, if there are any Nirvana Flowers in the future, I’m willing to buy one at a high price.”
“Master, this woman’s motive is quite shocking!”
When Xiao Shu heard that the other party wanted the Nirvana Flower, the former was shocked.
“Why do you say that?” Gu Changqing communicated with Xiao Shu using his spiritual power.
Xiao Shu replied, “The Nirvana Flower can bring the dead back to life. In addition to the Soaring Divine Samsara, it’s enough to revive a living being who has been dead for many years. Could this woman be thinking of reviving
Emperor Qin?”
“Emperor Qin?” Gu Changqing was surprised. “The old empire’s last ruler?”
“That’s right. Looks like she has a clone of Emperor Qin in her collection. She wants to revive him.”
Xiao Shu sighed, saying, “This woman is really affectionate. Just now she said that everything was in the past, but she secretly wants to resurrect Emperor Qin.”
“Well? What do you think?”
Seeing that Gu Changqing did not reply for a long time, Diqin Naxi raised her voice in question.
He lightly said, “If there really is such a flower, I’ll contact you!” “Thank you. Do you need any help?”
“Not at the moment. If there’s anything in the future, I’ll tell you.”
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll cut the call for now.”
“Go ahead!”
“Goodbye!”
With that, the other party ended the call.
Xiao Shu exclaimed, “She actually wants to revive Emperor Qin! This woman might already have the Soaring Divine Samsara in her hands. If a Nirvana Flower really appears in Blue Star’s sealed space…..”
