The All-Knowing Anthem's Holy Tribunal team arrived, equally stunned by the scene before them. Such a situation was rare within the Anthem. Though they knew there were conflicts between humans and orcs, many civilizations held grudges, but within the Anthem, things rarely escalated this far. They were aware that orcs had been causing trouble for humans, but they hadn't expected them to be so ruthless. Seeing the remaining barrier, they roughly understood what had happened and immediately began directing the rescue efforts.

Deppuya collapsed, not caring about anything anymore. He didn't know what had happened, but he was alive. Trust Brother Xin, and you won't die, no matter where you are.

Far away in the Tribunal Anthem, the unease that had been lingering in Li Hao's mind finally dissipated. He didn't know what had happened, but he was even more determined to quickly establish his banner. Otherwise, who knew what others might encounter? It was best to attract all the hatred towards himself. Damn, he should have hit harder.

This wasn't like the old S-League days when everyone was on the same side!

As for the loss of some golden cells, Li Hao didn't care at all. About 1% was gone. In reality, once the consumption of golden cells exceeded half, he would start to feel intense hunger. Beyond 70%, he wouldn't be able to control his appetite. So, he had to avoid extreme situations as much as possible. If necessary, he would have to find a way to reduce the consumption at the Bio-Center or look for other solutions within the Anthem. The ancient Tribunal Anthem might have methods to solve this problem. The Celestials had been studying the soul for the longest time.

Because of his worries, Li Hao lost his desire to continue fighting for the moment. Just as he was about to leave, his body trembled, and a burst of golden light erupted. Li Hao's expression was strange, carrying a sense of inexplicable power…

What was this?

The portion of golden cells where he had lost power suddenly filled up again. It was still his own power, but something felt off. When this power returned to the golden cells, those cells underwent a change.

Li Hao didn't linger. He quickly returned to his residence, closed the door, and entered a state of soul introspection.

Each golden cell contained pure energy. Li Hao believed it was a mini-universe, but this energy wasn't his own. Unlike the usual self-recovery, this power had to be replenished, and it required extremely pure and powerful energy. Swallowing Theseus back then hadn't lasted very long. During the quantum tunneling, the golden cells were crucial in ensuring his survival, and they were replenished by the power of a void creature purer than Theseus. However, this was a double-edged sword. Li Hao was certain how dangerous he would be if he lost control, and once he did, he wouldn't be aware of his actions, or whether he was being controlled by blee…

Li Hao possessed charisma and leadership, even in the Star River.

But a direct promotion to Chief Petty Officer, entering the Heavenly Ladder, even Ayouyou found it hard to believe.

"This person's information is a bit simple. Tribunal Anthem, only in his first year... From Earth in the Solar System... Is it him?" Hela asked.

Ayouyou couldn't contain herself any longer and quickly opened her Star-Link. Within the Anthem system, the Heavenly Ladder of the four major war zones was undoubtedly the most watched. Each war zone contained at least hundreds of Anthems. Not every planet had an Anthem. The traditional inheritance and learning systems of various civilizations still existed, but only Anthems could gain recognition from the Star Alliance. Among third-rate civilizations, there might only be one in the entire civilization, chosen from among millions of elites.

For a single Anthem, the competition was already fierce. Expanded to a war zone, the difficulty was unimaginable. Li Hao had directly broken through the constraints in a short period and soared onto the Heavenly Ladder.

Ayouyou nodded excitedly. "Yes, I've finally found him!"

Once he reached the Heavenly Ladder, Ayouyou could contact him. She quickly found Li Hao's personal page and left a message. All that was left was to wait for Li Hao to contact her.

Earth and the moon felt so far away back then; she never imagined they'd be separated by galaxies now.

Hela was also slightly impressed. "This person really has something. He only entered the Tribunal this year, and he's already directly climbed the Heavenly Ladder, and as a human, it's incredible!"

Ayouyou smiled, her face showing pride. "He is our human race's strongest warrior!"

"But not stronger than my brother!" Hela was still very confident about this. Her brother was the number one on the Heavenly Ladder in the Azure Dragon war zone. The gap between 85 and number one was still vast. "Ayouyou, do you want to make a bet?"

"Oh?"

"You're so confident in him. If he can enter the top ten of the Heavenly Ladder, I'll grant you one request that I can fulfill!" Hela said. "If you lose, you'll grant me one reasonable request."

Ayouyou looked at the cunning Hela. "Time limit?"

"Three months!" Hela said.

Ayouyou frowned. "Is that time a little short?"

"Since it's a bet, there has to be some difficulty. Now that humans have joined the Star Alliance, we can't just stay in one corner. We have to look at things from a Star River perspective. You're so confident in him, are you afraid?" Hela tempted. "Aren't you always interested in ring-shaped spaceships? Maybe I can help you fulfill that wish."

Ayouyou's eyes lit up. "Hela, you're blatantly tempting me, but you can't force me."

"Just kidding, am I that kind of person? Forced melons aren't sweet. Don't worry, I'll never force you!" Hela said with a smile. "Let's go, work hard, play hard. Come with me to go shopping."

Hela dragged Ayouyou away. Ayouyou couldn't refuse. Since arriving at the Libra Anthem, not only her, but also Maxis and the others, had received a lot of help from Hela. It was hard to refuse such kindness.

Maxis and the others, who were also in the Libra Anthem, had also discovered it. At first, they thought they were seeing things, but then they realized it was true. Everyone was ecstatic. Maxis and the others frantically contacted everyone they could. It was unbelievable. They knew Li Hao would definitely succeed because he was Li Hao, the leader who led them to victory in the Kepler War. They never dreamed that Li Hao would be so fierce as soon as he arrived at the Tribunal Anthem.

"Maxis, are you drunk?" Basta said in a deep voice. Basta, who had received the Star-Link message, was dumbfounded. He certainly knew that Li Hao was much stronger than them, but the Anthem system wasn't just about having strength. It was complete enslavement of lower civilizations by higher civilizations.

"Haha, Basta, I knew you wouldn't believe it," Maxis laughed. The more rational a person was, the more likely they were to doubt. "Go see for yourself. We're celebrating tonight!"

Maxis didn't waste any more words. Li Hao's breakthrough wasn't just one person's breakthrough. It greatly encouraged the human warriors scattered throughout the Star River. As long as one person could do it, the other human followers would definitely find a way to do it, and Li Hao would directly break the Anthem system's blockade against humanity.

In Azure Dragon, Robbie, Offee, Musashi, Zhou Naiyi, and the others also saw it. They were in the Heavenly Dragon Anthem of the Seventh Art. The excitement and joy were unimaginable. There were also many members of the Apocalypse here. Chao Qinglong had been resisting all along. His strength was more than just opening the Eye of Heaven. Combined with his ability, he was considered a minor celebrity in Heavenly Dragon, but the problem they faced was that they couldn't achieve much and were subtly ostracized. If Li Hao could continue to advance, it would greatly improve the views of humans in various Anthems. The discrimination against humans in accepting tasks would also be reduced. In fact, Robbie and the others' combat abilities were truly no worse than some officers, and they had rich combat experience. Their teamwork was also full of wisdom. Humans were essentially the same as Celestials; they understood team cohesion even better than Celestials.

In the Anthems all over the Star River, wherever there were humans, people began to discover this. Even the Anthem system began to report it as news, because this was the first human warrior to enter the Heavenly Ladder, and the first Chief Petty Officer, making it a milestone no matter how you looked at it.
