At the same time, Galaxy Alliance Center, Galaxy Aristocrat Elders meeting.The Galaxy Aristocrats were the first to find out about Hong Dali"s ident.i.ty as part of the Shenglong Royal Family.
Just then, everyone important was gathered in the Beta Planet Elders" Building, discussing Hong Dali.
"Hahahaha, I knew it. My Brother Dali is amazing!" Yin Tianzong was smiling like a flower. He sat freely in the middle of a group of young Galaxy Aristocrats, his saliva splattering all over as he talked. "I knew that my Brother Dali was no ordinary person the moment he arrived at our Galaxy Alliance Center! Think about it. If he was a normal human, would he have dared to go up against us Galaxy Aristocrats the moment we met? What"s happening now? Look at him. Star Knight. Shenglong Royal Family. He"s amazing! He"s so cool!"
"That"s right. There"s n.o.body else in the entire star sector like him!" The original number one genius of the Galaxy Aristocrats, Li Tianxing, stood humbly next to Yin Tianzong and put on a smile. "Aiya, I didn"t know about Big Bro Dali"s ident.i.ty back then. Look at all the misunderstandings that happened. Brother Tianzong, you"re on good terms with Brother Dali. Can you help me put in some good words? Please, Brother Tianzong!"
Li Tianxing"s story was indeed quite tragic.
Remember when he first appeared? He was so cool. Galaxy Aristocrat! Number one genius amongst the young generation! Ice Soul Stone! Tall, handsome, and rich! His father was an Elder, and his grandfather was the top warrior in the Milky Way!
What an insane background!
Yet, how did things turn out? Beaten into a pulp by Hong Dali. He planned on yelling "every dog has his day" when he finally got his revenge. However, Hong Dali suddenly became a part of the Shenglong Royal Family.
Shenglong Royal Family! They were wors.h.i.+ped even by the High n.o.bles, let alone him, a mere Galaxy Aristocrat…
"Aiya, help you put in some good words?" Yin Tianzong smiled and looked at Li Tianxing, then nodded. "Sure. You"ve been behaving well recently, not too arrogant. When I get to meet Brother Dali, I"ll help you put in some good words. Yep."
"Thank you, thank you!" Li Tianxing sucked up to Yin Tianzong. "I knew that Brother Tianzong is the most brotherly person!"
The younger generation was listening to Yin Tianzong brag about his adventures with Hong Dali. On the other side, those Elders who stayed behind all focused on another thing.
Mo Tianji"s bloodline existed in Hong Dali"s body!
What did this mean? This meant that if the people of Beta Planet procreated with the humans from Earth, they would have a great chance to produce offspring! That would basically solve the toughest problem for the people of Beta Planet—the survival and continuation of their species! A matter of this importance was on par with the news that Hong Dali was a part of the Shenglong Royal Family!
After all, Hong Dali being a part of the Shenglong Royal Family had nothing much to do with the Galaxy Aristocrats. There were definitely benefits. However, if the Galaxy Aristocrats could not even survive past another few centuries, what good would any amount of resource do?
However, everything was different now. If the people of Beta Planet could really reproduce with the humans from Earth, what else would they be afraid of?
"I suggest," The Old Elder looked at the other Elders around and said quietly, "We send some representatives to the New Earth now. We will give them whatever they require, with one condition. Allow marriage between the Galaxy Aristocrats and the humans of New Earth!"
All the Elders nodded in unison. "Agreed!" "Agreed!" "Agreed!" "Agreed!"
…
Of course, for the New Earth and the Milky Way Alliance, Hong Dali"s ascension meant that everyone else would also enjoy some benefits. That was something to celebrate. However, for the High n.o.bles, this was a huge tragedy…
In s.p.a.ce, a mid-sized s.p.a.ce carrier rushed toward the New Earth at top speed.
"Hurry! Hurry!" In the s.p.a.ce carrier, a man who obviously looked like the leader was sweating profusely. He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Full speed ahead! Full speed ahead! Our headquarters will be gone if we"re a minute late! This is not a joke! It"s not a joke! Ahhhhh!"
There was no way for him not to panic.
Just yesterday, he received a report from the lower-level parliament"s Top Operative, Silver Hair. The report said that the Hong Dali they had been trying to capture was a member of the Shenglong Royal Family! They dared to lay their hands on the Shenglong Royal Family!
Within an hour of him receiving the news, the Dimu Star Sector High n.o.bles" headquarters was surrounded by four Star Sector-level s.p.a.ce carriers.
Star Sector-level s.p.a.ce carriers were almost all circular in shape. Their bodies were around 5,000 kilometers in diameter, covered completely in a metallic black material. There were various types of cannons on the s.p.a.ce carriers. As for what they looked like on the inside, he was not too sure.
Of course, none of that mattered. The most crucial thing was that these things could destroy a star with one blast from their cannons. Stellar-level s.p.a.ce carriers were as fragile as newborn babies in front of them.
Especially when he found out that the ones they p.i.s.sed off were the most Royal Family within the Shenglong Royal Family…
"Malone! F**k your ancestors!" The head of the higher-level parliament yelled. "You worthless sc.u.m! Tras.h.!.+ You got us into deep sh*t! Ma Tiancheng, you too. I"ll kill you! Kill you!"
No wonder he was so mad. The troubles caused by Malone were simply too huge.
He died and cost the lives of three Top Operatives. Four, if you counted Red Wolf. More than seventy Fifth-Order Stellar-level s.p.a.ce carriers, and one ultimate battle weapon Man-made G.o.d Reni. And they still had to head to the New Earth now to negotiate the compensation.
This would make anyone go crazy!
However, there was nothing he could do. This was the only outcome possible when they angered the Shenglong Royal Family. The High n.o.bles bullied the Galaxy Aristocrats back then, and they could expect nothing less now. This proved one saying: chickens always come home to roost.
"What difference does saying all that now make?" Another higher-level parliament member smiled wryly. "We have stirred up way too much trouble. There"s nothing we can do to change the situation. We just have to think of ways to make up for it. Sigh. I wonder what the higher-ups will demand from us. No matter what, it won"t be easy."
"Of course I know that." The Head of the higher-level parliament gritted his teeth in anger. "The Shenglong Royal Family are undeniably the rulers of the entire Shenglong Astral. Who will walk away scot-free after p.i.s.sing them off? I"m not overly concerned about that. I"m just worried that we won"t be able to explain ourselves clearly. It"ll be game over then!"
He was not unduly worried.
If you meet someone who"s willing to calmly sit down and discuss things with you, it"ll be fine. They"ll get to clear up all the misunderstandings. However, according to Silver Hair"s report, the ones who came were the royals amongst the Royal Family, the Old Madam and Old Master of the Hong Family. Those were people who would simply destroy you without a second thought. They were not so easily dealt with. If they were unsatisfied with anything…
"We"ll leave everything up to fate. Sigh…" The Head of the parliament thought. Then, a guard reported. "Report, Sir. We have arrived at the New Earth!"
…
New Earth, or the current Shenglong Astral Sanctuary.
Old Master Hong Xingyu slowly practiced a set of boxing moves, pa.s.sed down from the Hong Family ancestors. It was called the "Realm King Fist". Only the king of the Star Sector could utilize the moves. The set of moves was nothing special. Its biggest use was that it increased the user"s strength greatly. The upper limit was 100 times the original strength. Hence, it could be seen as the top set of moves in the entire Shenglong Astral. When paired with the Hong Family"s exclusive lineage ability, Phase Transmission, it worked even better.
"This Tower of Life is indeed decent." After he was done, the Old Master sighed. He was fully satisfied. "Once you"re old, no matter how strong you are, you"ll still be defeated by time. However, this Tower of Life seems to revitalize every cell in the human body. Impressive!"
His words were not wrong.
After all, humans were limited by the race"s upper age limit. It was impossible for someone to live forever.
Indeed, many biologists researched on genetic modification. However, genetic modification only altered a person"s lifeform, not lifespan. Some physicists suggested mechanizing humans, but unfortunately, even if a human was mechanized, his brain would still die of old age.
That"s right. A human was only a human because of the unique brain and thought patterns. Any modification to the human body would only be reflected in the body. The human brain could never be modified.
The only way to extend your life was to have a breakthrough to the next power level.
Stellar-level, 300 years. Star Sector-level, 800 years. Those were the upper limit after the body absorbed dark energy. There was no way to extend that any further—if the brain was dead but the body was alive, wouldn"t you fall into a vegetative state?
"If we can stay here for a while, maybe I"ll get to live a little longer?" Hong Xingyu smiled and shook his head. "From 800 years to 900, maybe even 1,000?" Thinking up to this point, he sighed. "Living on borrowed time. Hehe, that"s not really very meaningful. We"ll just see how things go."
As he was feeling melancholic, the mysterious man, also known as the Sanctuary Pope now, arrived in a s.p.a.cecraft. He greeted Hong Xingyu. "Good morning, Old Master Hong."
"The High n.o.bles are here, right?" Hong Xingyu nodded and said, "Ask them to wait. I"ll go and wake up my sweetheart now."
The mysterious man said politely, "Yes, Old Master." As he said that, he thought, "This Hong Dali. He"s such a big shot. He asked Old Master Hong to wake him up. People truly can"t be compared with each other…"
He went into the small house with around 300 square meters of s.p.a.ce. There were a dozen of rooms, with the biggest one being Hong Dali"s bedroom. Hong Xingyu carefully knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened, and the old lady Hua Yueling"s face was seen. She frowned. "It"s so early in the morning. Sweetheart is still in deep sleep. What are you doing here?"
"Ah, nothing, nothing." Hong Xingyu quickly shushed. Once he entered the room, he quietly said, "The High n.o.bles are here. I wanted to wake up sweetheart and rip them off."
"Are you stupid?" Hua Yueling gritted her teeth. "How can those trash High n.o.bles compare to my sweetheart? Ask them to wait! We"ll go whenever my sweetheart wakes up! Seriously. How can you be so dumb?!"
Hong Xingyu nodded. "Right, right. I was too anxious. Haha."
