Skeleton Elf
Chapter 673 The Ring of Destiny
Annie nodded. "The main thing is that my current physical structure can't directly enter the 2D world like before. Otherwise, given enough time and energy, there's still a certain chance of breaking through."
"No!" Zuo Xiaotang held Annie's hand tightly.
Ma Long was speechless. "Brother Zuo, be mature. We're discussing technical issues. Don't show affection at every turn. The energy core is one aspect. We've already made great progress in nanotechnology. Secondly, there's the material problem, which is also a major challenge. It involves several unknown elements and their ratios. We need to find them, and then there's the question of how to obtain these materials. The core elements are all controlled by the major empires, and they're definitely regulated."
"Layer upon layer of problems maintain the upper structure of the Star Alliance. If humanity wants to break through this, it must establish its own production line and not always rely on other people's charity."
"This is the most difficult problem for humanity in this stage. Even if it's Tianren's outdated technology, that's fine. As long as we have it, we can establish our own Tianwu system and create something that conforms to human body structure and combat ergonomics," Kevin said. "It's more in line with our mecha structure. Polina and I have been studying it for a long time, and I think we can combine our mecha technology with their Tianwu technology to create our weapon system."
"I've analyzed it, and Master Jiabo is indeed amazing. If his Hei Ye (Black Night) Saber and Kai Bao (Armor Leopard) designs are presented in the form of a Tianwu system, they will release even stronger combat effects," Annie said. The magical thing about humans is this, especially geniuses like Master Jiabo. He is looking for an unspeakable artistic conception on the basis of theoretical knowledge, which is difficult to describe with science, but achieves the highest realm in the invisible.
"If we have this, we'll be completely different!"
Ma Long and the others were excited. Kepler is their home now, their future. Everyone is trying to find a way to give Kepler the ability to protect itself. Everyone looked at Li Hao. Li Hao raised his hands. "Don't look at me. It's useless to look at me. I'm also from the Earth's preparatory class. People who have gone to school aren't stupid."
"Second brother, look at what you said. This is interstellar friendship plus exchange. They must have a need for you. You have to start from this aspect. In our situation, it doesn't matter if we're a little thick-skinned. The other party can understand. Maybe there's an opportunity!" Kevin laughed. "People like the second brother don't know how much energy they have until you push them."
"Hao-ge, this battle has shown our might and aura. We must take advantage of this east wind to establish Kepler's basic armed forces. The damage rate of Tianwu is still very high. We can't do without establishing our own production and maintenance system. We can't always rely on you to carry explosive packs, right?" Ma Long said earnestly.
Li Hao also felt it made sense, but why him...
It seems he's still a governor now.
It seems he should do it.
Li Hao always felt that these guys were PUA-ing him, but he also felt that what they said made a lot of sense.
"I'll try my best!" Developing Kepler is the hard truth. Now the Solar System is also fully supporting it. Kevin is right, we have to find a way.
"Starships..." Li Hao suddenly asked. "Right, second brother, you're so right. In fact, the most important thing is starships. It was really hard for us to get a few back, and the third brother took the good ones away, leaving only a few broken ships," Kevin immediately interjected. "Our Kepler is going to become a new large starmate, and we also have to build a space city and become the most important space port in this star field. This will definitely require space forces. Starships are a very tricky problem."
"I wanted to say, should starships be put on hold..."
Li Hao was a little confused. "No, the armament system is very important, and starships are even more important. We can slow down the technology, but we have to import warships to form a basic guard force. Otherwise, people will really mess around at our doorstep, and we won't have any way to deal with it. Think about it, the starmate expands, the space domain is built, and then a group of pirates do things at our doorstep. We can only stare blankly, which is infuriating. Also, if we can't maintain the security of the star field, the merchants will detour, and the Hairen's (Sea Race's) and our investment will be in vain." Li Hao just opened his mouth, and Kevin had a bunch of great truths waiting for him, as if he was afraid Li Hao wouldn't ask... Think of a way.
"Hao-ge, if I have the opportunity to come into contact with these things, maybe there's a way to solve it," Annie said. "Will the Judgment Anthem side restrict our entry?"
"It shouldn't be. I'll talk to Committee Member Helena." Given their current friendship, these are all small things.
"Our combat power and development prospects, not to mention comparing with the Tianren (Celestial Race) and Hairen (Sea Race), but we are definitely confident in surpassing other civilizations."
Everyone looked at the starry sky outside the window, full of expectations. The spaceship entered warp space smoothly and advanced at high speed towards the Diwu (Emperor Martial) Star of the Ozir Empire.
The Queen's enthronement ceremony is currently the top priority of the Star Alliance. A large number of interstellar high-level visiting delegations are arriving one after another. Some important heads of state either arrange personal visits or send representatives of a certain level. From a certain point of view, the Ozir Empire is also the inheritance origin of the Tianren (Celestial Race) Galactic Empire, and it is still very symbolic. Diwu Star is naturally very lively. Zuo Xiaotang, Annie, Ma Long, and Kevin, who came for the first time, felt a huge cultural shock. They had seen the conditions of some civilizations and had been deeply shocked, but compared with the Ozir Empire, it was nothing compared to a minor compared to a major. Those seemingly prosperous space cities of the nearby Orc Empire are nothing compared to the most advanced and powerful space cities of the Tianren (Celestial Race).
All the spaceships were queuing. As the Empress's enthronement approached, big shots appeared frequently. Who wasn't a big shot? And they were all ranked first. No one could afford to cause trouble at this time, so the speed was relatively slow.
The merchant ship where Li Hao and the others were waiting too. Kepler didn't have the money to give Governor Li a special plane, and even special planes had to queue.
In fact, after learning more about the spaceships of various civilizations, they are also very easy to distinguish. Most of the Hairen's (Sea Race's) spaceships are shuttle-shaped or angular, while the Tianren's (Celestial Race's) are ring-shaped, wind-shaped, and flat. The Ghost Empire likes irregular polygons. The insect people's colonial empire is either a large biological spherical mothership or a parasitic spaceship that looks disgusting and weird from a human perspective. The Zhu Xing Long (Star Dragon) Race is more distinct, with three-dimensional triangles or multi-wheeled shapes and a huge Zhu Xing Long (Star Dragon) logo.
People are dazzled and drooling.
They took a passenger spaceship from Wanxing City to Diwu Star, which was the lowest level. The aliens inside were also noisy.
Because the sorting time was particularly long.
Li Hao and the others didn't care and watched all this very patiently. For Zuo Xiaotang and the others, all the experiences were fresh. The Tianren (Celestial Race) seemed particularly impatient and were also clamoring. The spaceship's crew members were also patiently explaining... Their words were not very polite, but the order was not allowed to be questioned. Others were not really restless. After all, this is the extraordinary period of the Ozir Empire. If you are really blind, the guards will not be polite.
At this moment, the passenger cabin stirred up a commotion. Everyone's eyes widened and they discussed animatedly. Two Tianren (Celestial Race) warriors in royal guard uniforms appeared in the cabin and came to Li Hao and the others.
The leader came to Li Hao and saluted. "Your Excellency Li Hao, I am the head of the Royal Guard."
"I am ordered to pick you up and take you off the ship. Please come with me."
Li Hao nodded and didn't care much. Teacher Ma on the side was so excited that he couldn't speak. When people are outside, they can especially feel the importance of the country. Humans have no sense of existence. The Tianren (Celestial Race) speak with a sense of superiority. They can complain a little while queuing, but the people of other civilizations don't react much.
Ma Long's life-long love is for showy displays. There's nothing he can do. He just likes to pretend.
The Royal Guard led the way and took Li Hao and the others away from the spaceship. A small spaceship was already waiting outside. The VIP channel had been opened. When Ma Long and the others came out, they found that the VIP area had also been isolated. Everyone was waiting, wondering what big shot was coming. Could it be the head of an empire? Li Hao and the others left the terminal under the protection of many guards in full view of everyone.
Teacher Ma's inner monologue began to boil again. A governor of a planet is at most equivalent to a planetary general, and Li Hao is not yet a general. The priority is very low. This is obviously a special treatment from the royal family. He doesn't believe that Hao-ge has nothing to do with the princess, although Hao-ge doesn't look as handsome as himself, he can always attract the attention of some super beauties. This is also a strange talent.
Legend has it that Hermia is the number one beauty of the Tianren (Celestial Race), the future empress. He wants to see if the real person is really beautiful.
They arrived at the Judgment Anthem smoothly. The place arranged for the five people was also for VIPs only. Because there were too many VIPs this time, there was no space in each location. They were all reserved in advance for important missions. It was obvious that the big shots from various countries who came and went to the hotel were curious and paid attention to them. Teacher Ma once again felt Hao-ge's status in the Ozir Empire.
This is the power of the Milky Way, the deadly charm of men.
"Hao-ge, is this the kind of place where you made a name for yourself? To be honest, if I didn't come, I couldn't imagine it. They are too powerful." Ma Long sat on the sofa, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. The Massa Space City is just a tadpole compared to the Diwu Star. "Since the Galactic Empire, the Tianren (Celestial Race) have ruled the Star Alliance for so long, so it's not surprising that they have such a scale," Kevin said. Although it was his first time here, he must have collected a lot of information based on his previous character. "With the ceremony approaching, it's lively, but it's also the strictest time. Everyone should pay more attention," Li Hao said with a smile. "Our relationship with Ozir is good, and there will be many conveniences."
Not long after, the doorbell rang. The visitor was Helena. "Yo, a rare guest. Committee Member Helena can still think of me in her busy schedule."
Li Hao said with a smile.
"Governor Li Hao, it's an honor to have you visit. I didn't greet you in person. It seems you have a grudge. Your reputation is now widely spread," Helena teased.
Her personal visit gave enough face. With the Empress's enthronement, Helena is also the Empress's most trusted person and the future chief of the cabinet. She is also terribly busy now. Li Hao's personal visit as soon as he arrived was already full of face. Before coming, she had done detailed background research. Seeing the real person, Kevin and Ma Long stared straight at him. This appearance, this figure, this temperament, especially the Tianren's (Celestial Race's) clothing, likes to bring out a generous and unrestrained figure, which is really a bit amazing. "Haha, I'm very happy to see you again after surviving a disaster. I was lucky and thanks to your help, otherwise I might not have been able to come," Li Hao said with a smile.
Helena also smiled. "These few are all your friends, right?" If Li Hao introduced everyone to each other, respectfully
"Respected Committee Member Helena, my name is Ma Long. Success upon arrival, the spirit of the dragon and horse!" Teacher Ma didn't want to let go of Helena's hand. This is because Sheng Man isn't here, so Teacher Ma is more free.
Kevin also looked at Helena the most. This type is really his favorite, but Helena's aura is too strong.
"These two friends of mine want to study and communicate in the Arbitration Court for a while. Can you open a back door?" Li Hao also got straight to the point and solved the small problem first.
"It's a small matter. I'll give you a little spoiler. Don't say I'm not kind in the future. After the殿下 (Your Highness) ascends the throne, she will promote in-depth cooperation between Ozir and Kepler. Currently, my preliminary contact with the Council of Elders and the Anthem Committee is relatively smooth. You have proven your strength in the battle against the orcs, and they are more supportive."
"Helena was also very happy. Strength is the hard truth. If humanity is an incompetent person who can't be helped up, the Ozir Empire wouldn't be interested. Relying solely on the Arbitration Court, the personal preferences here won't work. His Laru Empire is actually the thug of the Silver Heart Alliance. The Silver Heart Alliance wants to maintain their ruling order, so naturally they have to hang a sheep's head and sell dog meat. Some disputes to guarantee interests are left to the orcs, and the orcs do have such combat power. The combat power, potential, and courage displayed by humanity in this battle were quite amazing. This is also an important basis for Helena to persuade others to support humanity."
Everyone was very happy when they heard this. Li Hao shrugged indifferently. "It's still a deep friendship. The others are not important." Helena smiled brightly. The corners of this person's mouth are getting sweeter and sweeter. Of course, the relationship is an important factor.
"Your authority is quite high. The Arbitration Court and Diwu Star are basically unobstructed. I may not be able to take care of you during this time, so please help yourself. Anyway, Li Hao is also a familiar face here."
"Helena smiled."
"Your Highness Helena, I don't know if it's convenient to add a Xingxun (Star Message). I... cough cough, I have something I want to ask."
"Kevin said with courage."
Helena knew that Kevin was Li Hao's capable general and also a core member of the Kepler cabinet, so she agreed very readily.
She still had many things to deal with and didn't stay! Li Hao sent Helena out. "...Li Hao, the high priest may be looking for you in the next two days to discuss very important matters. Don't run around these two days."
Li Hao nodded. "How is 殿下 (Your Highness)? Is she having a headache over these trivial matters?"
"I thought you would forget about our 殿下 (Your Highness) after returning to your gentle hometown." Li Hao touched his nose. "Don't talk nonsense, I'm thin-skinned." Helena shook her head. "With the Yimogou family uprooted, the Empire's losses have also been minimized, so there are not many internal fluctuations. The main thing is the external ones. The Silver Heart Alliance has a great ambition for the Super Divine Weapon."
"They thought that the Silver Heart Alliance wouldn't dare to do anything even if they dared to think, but in fact, judging from some current intelligence, the Silver Heart Alliance is really plotting the Super Divine Weapon Oura. In terms of overall strength, the Silver Heart Alliance is indeed the strongest, and strong power is also the foundation of greed. The Ozir side is not as relaxed as it seems on the surface."
After seeing Helena off, Li Hao returned to the room, and the four immediately surrounded him like curious babies. It wasn't that they hadn't come into contact with the Tianren (Celestial Race), but it was the first time they had seen the top bloodline and super nobles of the Tianren (Celestial Race) like Helena, and the regret in their hearts was still very great.
Kevin, on the other hand, was happy and drunk. This was the feeling of heartbeat. Of course, he wasn't a love brain. A hundred men would be excited to see such a beauty, but even if he was excited, he was still clear-headed and wouldn't cause trouble for himself. Helena was willing to add him completely out of official business, but even so, it was a very pleasant thing.
Li Hao generally talked about the situation. Kevin still knows a lot about the situation of the Star Alliance. "Second brother, according to some of your statements, Annie and I have also discussed it."
"The Star Alliance is a bit unbalanced now, so the Dragon Race wants to unite the Seventh Art and Ozir to maintain the balance of the Star Alliance. If the Silver Heart Alliance continues to expand, the possibility of the collapse of my order will be very high."
"Currently, the Silver Heart Alliance has already begun to squeeze the interests of major civilizations, but because there are checks and balances, the superficial balance is still maintained."
Li Hao nodded. "We can't participate in it yet. By the way, De Fa Wendis is Xilian of Jia Zheng, but it can't be regarded as completely Xilian. This is more complicated. Don't expose him if you meet him, just be careful."
Kevin and the others nodded. Xilian's body being occupied by Nangong Yuhang was a super event at the time. Everyone thought that Xilian was completely gone. Unexpectedly, "Liuan Huaming (a new lease on life)," this kid has now turned over and become a core figure in the Seventh Art Federation.
"This guy won't covet Princess Hermia, will he?"
"I'm afraid so. The Dragon Race is also matchmaking."
Everyone who had just arrived at the Arbitration Court was very excited, but Li Hao felt a little strange. In fact, he didn't do anything during Yimogou's rebellion, just helped wake up the Super Divine Weapon. The next day, Gaia and Gasmi came. Gaia realized his dream and switched to new weapons in advance. He was originally from a wealthy family, but he was not valued before. Once he got family resources and the family entered the Council of Elders, he became a proper first-class nobleman. With the collapse of Howsen, he and Laweitan became new influential figures.
With Gaia and Gasmi, Kevin, Annie, Zuo Xiaotang, and Ma Long definitely enjoyed an unprecedented experience. Under normal circumstances, humans can't even come to such a place, let alone any treatment. It's good if they are not discriminated against.
Li Hao came to the Hall of Valor to wait for the meeting with High Priest Shirada. He thought it would take a few days. While drinking tea, he looked around. During this time, the Arbitration Court had completely emerged from the rebellion. He didn't know what Shirada was looking for him for, but he had to think about how to speak. In fact, if he wanted to see Shirada in the future with the normal identity of the governor, there would not be many opportunities, let alone asking for a request, I'm afraid he won't be able to find him. How can he get the other party to agree? This requires some language skills and ideas. In fact, Kevin has been planning with him along the way.
But the initiative is entirely in the other party's hands, so he can only adapt to the situation, but in any case, he still has to mention it. This is too important for Kepler and humanity, and face is not worth mentioning.
This time, the waiting time was still a bit long. Of course, Li Hao wasn't in a hurry. This was his main purpose of coming to the Arbitration Court.
Finally, High Priest Shirada appeared, showing a kind smile when he saw Li Hao. "Li Hao, I haven't seen you for a while, and I've already changed my title to Governor." "High Priest, you're teasing me," it's more comfortable to call me Li Hao. Just don't dislike me in the future."
"Li Hao said with a smile."
"You, you are our friend, and the door is always open," "Shirada sat opposite Li Hao. This time I invited you here, on the one hand, to invite you to the 殿下 (Your Highness)'s enthronement ceremony, and on the other hand, there are indeed some things I want to ask you for help with."
Li Hao was stunned. What could he help with?
"You have already entered the Star Realm. How do you feel?" Shirada's topic suddenly changed. "Confused, I feel a little incredible. I even wonder if our current world is real, a bit like being ruled by higher-dimensional civilizations." Li Hao knew that this was the main thing. According to Kuda, to become a general and enter the Zhougang level of soul power, one must be baptized by the Star Realm. In addition, Shirada's identity must be far beyond imagination.
Shirada smiled slightly. "What is the definition of reality and illusion? That is no longer an illusion, but also a kind of reality. I tend to think that a part of the galaxy exists? Just like we can't leave the galaxy, the universe has too many unknown forces and unsolved mysteries. In fact, there is no need to think so complicated. The universe is so big, we need to discover and master it. The existence of the Star Realm is very magical, and it still has a huge help to the improvement of the galaxy civilization. It is a kind of gift. Survival and destruction are a cycle, and it will not change with or without the Star Realm's position. Have you always wanted to know the meaning of the Möbius ring mark?"
Li Hao nodded. "The Möbius ring mark represents space. It should be said that you have very strong space ability, which is also quite related to the Star Realm. The positioning of any kind of spatial talent should be S-level," Shirada said, "and you can awaken the Super Divine Weapon. The Super Divine Weapon comes from the Star Realm, so you should have a lot to do in the Star Realm."
"After a pause, Shirada suddenly smiled and said, "I almost forgot, I really went back to check the classics. The earliest appearance of the Möbius ring was on Emperor Augustus, to be precise, it should be the Galactic Emperor. At that time, we called it 'Destiny'."
