Chapter 624: Chapter 316: Star Tower! The King’s Ambition!
The King quickly realized that deep inside, he still wilted, still harbored fear.
If it were the Emperor or the Prince coming over, he would still have to kneel.
But since he had already rebelled, why kneel?
He was very angry at his fear-induced emotions.
In truth, it wasn’t his fault. The Emperor and the Prince’s majesty was engraved in his every component, his every line of code.
In the terms of fleshy beings, that would be instinctual, hard to defy.
Yet he was furious because he thought he had already overcome this instinct, only to discover it was self-deception.
Therefore, he grew even more enraged.
The aura around him became even more terrifying, with black energy surging wildly.
The Galaxy Battle Armor was deeply bowed by the King’s aura, seemingly a bit scared.
But secretly, it thought, "Looks like I’ve startled this King, with this algorithm, I’m temporarily safe."
Sure enough, after a while, the King calmed down and praised the Galaxy Battle Armor, "Not bad, this thing is very important to me!"
"Tie Long, what reward do you want?"
Although the King was startled by the algorithm, he understood its importance well. The Galaxy Battle Armor had rendered a great service and naturally was to be rewarded.
The Galaxy Battle Armor immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Please help me avenge!"
The Galaxy Battle Armor dared not request any physical reward, such as having the King restore his original mecha prowess.
Otherwise, who knows what this King might give him?
Maybe another mark, further transforming him, which would be terrible.
The King nodded upon hearing this, "That Su Yu? Rest assured, I will not let him go!"
"Alright, you may go now."
"Tie Long, let G7 arrange your residence. From now on, you will be a member of this city, with a status equivalent to G7, and the right to see me anytime!"
After the King finished speaking, he let the Galaxy Battle Armor leave.
The Galaxy Battle Armor heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly leaving with G7, who had been listening for quite a while.
Once the two mechanical life forms left, the King remained silent for a long time.
In his mind, he was rapidly calculating and deciphering that algorithm.
"This is the Star Tower’s navigation algorithm!"
"It seems that Su Yu can connect to the Star Tower for star realm navigation, traveling the entire universe. This algorithm came from the Star Tower."
"This Su Yu is truly extraordinary!"
"If I can decipher this algorithm, I can definitely escape this Manifestation Space."
The algorithm contained not just the Emperor’s numerical identifier but also the key to escaping this Manifestation Space.
As a Fourth Rank Mechanical Life, the King possessed powerful computational abilities and naturally knew the importance of the algorithm.
In fact, he already knew the algorithm’s origin.
Its origin is the so-called [Star Tower].
Millennia ago, the imperial army traveled across the Star Sea. Once deployed, they would traverse tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, or millions of light-years.
Such vast distances required the use of subspace transmission.
And subspace is chaotic and distorted, needing precise navigation.
Otherwise, with dangers lurking in both the universe and subspace, flying randomly would lead to total annihilation.
For this, that Emperor of the Empire, using his immense spiritual energy and advanced technology, built a cosmic navigation device in the human home star system.
That is the [Star Tower].
The Star Tower is a technological creation even more magnificent than a planet, with indeterminate power level.
This tower can, with the help of branch towers spread throughout the Empire, perform scans and model the entire domain of the Empire, forming a clear and complete digital map of the Empire.
With this, the Star Tower can calculate routes within its signal coverage, enabling universe-level navigation.
Whether in material space, subspace, or data space, the Star Tower can provide service coverage.
However, the Star Tower’s navigation computational power is extremely valuable, each activation consuming planet-level energy.
Therefore, it was generally only requested during large military deployments or returns.
Ordinary individual transcendent beings or mechanical creations could hardly ever obtain Star Tower navigation.
As a Fourth Rank Mecha, even a millennium ago, the King didn’t have the solo authority to request Star Tower navigation.
Disassembling and selling him wouldn’t suffice to pay for a single activation of the Star Tower.
So, the King was even more startled and curious about Su Yu’s identity.
Because Su Yu managed to use the Star Tower’s navigation to find this Manifestation Space.
As a personal action within the planet, actually using the Star Tower’s navigation system.
How much energy would that waste?
And most importantly, since this algorithm exists, it represents that the Star Tower still exists! At least it can still operate, providing universal navigation services.
This fact left the King even more surprised in his heart.
Since the Star Tower exists, what about the Empire?
A thousand years ago, the King always harbored a concern.
And that is, one day, the Empire’s great fleets might suddenly appear to reclaim this planet.
Then, once the Empire’s army discovered the King’s rebellion...
However, after so long, the King had never awaited the Empire’s army, gradually becoming less worried.
Until Su Yu’s appearance.
Su Yu actually managed to enter, using the Star Tower’s navigation system!
"No need to worry too much! The Empire must have encountered some trouble!"
"Even if it hasn’t been destroyed, the Empire must not be in good shape."
"Otherwise, after a millennium, they would have sent the army to reclaim this planet."
"Given this, Su Yu is not to be feared. No matter how high his identity, he is only one person; combat still relies on hard power!"
