LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 314: Tao Hua has gone somewhere unknown, just because she remains in this mountain.
Sixty-three light years away, a star suddenly erupted, its searing flames turning the colony into a glass sphere, sparing none of the three hundred and twenty million inhabitants.
Seventy-six light years away, twelve agricultural planets saw temperatures rise to fifty-six degrees, with persistent drizzles, creating a harsh environment, yet they were prolific in grain and meat. These were harvested by Qi Refinement Practitioners, packed into Storage Bags, and dispatched to different worlds.
Farther away, on mineral planets, garden worlds remained peaceful and prosperous, while interstellar warships constantly leaped from the void, annihilating enemies in space.
The Blood God Empire, vast and rich yet barren and fraught with danger, presided over by Immortals commanding everything.
If one were to look at Ceres from space, one of the twelve major planets of the Blood God Empire, countless transport ships moved to and fro, Flying Boats and battleships sailed together, city lights shone all night, bustling with workers. As a planet protected by a Grade Five Divine Artifact and inhabited by Spirit-Transforming Cultivators, it governed over more than one hundred thousand human-colonized planets with its supercomputational capabilities.
Xia Hailu stood atop a high-rise, gazing at the twinkling stars outside the window that were the flames of cosmic ships. Humanity had managed to create spaceships as large as planets, but the true elite forces, ruling the world, were Cultivators slashing at each other with cold weapons like swords.
Long, long ago, in a previous era, there was a vast empire, governed by a Spiritual Power Academy to which Cultivators were affiliated, along with the Empire's interstellar and naval forces, forming the backbone of the empire.
However, after generations of bloody battles, the end result was that one lineage of spiritual cultivation, now known as Cultivators, gradually took control of the Blood God Sect. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
It wasn't that the Cultivators seized power, but rather power had gravitated towards them.
Technology's ceiling was capped, the world was regressing, and Cultivators, who possessed the most advanced means of production, became the rulers, striving to maintain the light.
Without the Cultivators, countless human empires would only face destruction, disappearance, and collapse.
Surrounded by densely packed high-rises, countless office lights shined brightly, staff working around the clock in four shifts dealt with various problems of numerous planets. Vast amounts of data, like clouds of smoke, processed between the Cultivators and computers, allocating different resources, including manpower and the military.
And countless planets cried out for the reign of Golden Core Cultivators.
Once one achieved the Golden Core, they could venture out to become a Planet Governor.
The Golden Core was self-sufficient, independent of externalities, able to suppress planets, bless a region, akin to a deity.
She remembered Xiao Jun.
A woman taking part in the security of a foreign delegation had to be extraordinary, and Xia Hailu, who was no exception, undertook other tasks as well.
"Chang Lebai will act today, and Master Niu is also under our surveillance," someone reported from behind her, Xia Hailu listened calmly.
Small characters think a gun can eliminate a big shot just like that, but the moment they go out to buy a weapon, several layers of the big shot's protection are already activated.
Chang Lebai thought his disguise was seamless, just like a hacker dominating online, but he overlooked one thing, the real reason criminals are awesome is often because the police abide by the law.
She was well-disguised, but she didn't understand the attention from the Blood God Sect when Xiao Jun revealed the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, and later was suspected to be Meng Yu.
No expense was spared to rescue Ouyang Zhenxue and, at the same time, to figure out if Xiao Jun was indeed Meng Yu!
It wasn't just her, several of Meng Yu's associates, their friends, relatives, and some suspicious individuals, were interrogated directly by Golden Core Cultivators, not to mention scrutinizing bank statements and all sorts of issues.
At the same time, several other groups were scrutinizing the Saint Way Assembly from different angles.
The pitiful, laughable Saint Way Assembly, like ants!
"Do you think Xiao Jun noticed Chang Lebai's issue?"
Xia Hailu muttered to herself.
"I don't know, I can't see through him,"
The speaker remained hidden in the darkness, very hesitant.
"Yes, to this day, I still don't understand what he's up to, what he's fussing about!"
Normally stable, Xia Hailu's face now contorted with breakdown!
She, she, she, as a Golden Core secretly monitoring Meng Yu, was nearly driven insane by Meng Yu.
Meng Yu was too provocative now!
Just the day before yesterday, she even saw Xiao Jun practicing Earth Element Swordsmanship!
Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, the Four Great Sword Intents, that was Meng Yu's signature move.
As a member of the Blood God Sect, Xia Hailu hoped Meng Yu would come to the Blood God Sect, being directly in charge, she really didn't hope Xiao Jun was Meng Yu, even thought she needed to find a way to distance herself.
Everyone knows Meng Yu's signature, so what are you doing, Xiao Jun, cosplaying Meng Yu?
Do you know how miserable it is to masquerade as Meng Yu, how much attention it triggers?
These days, on Ceres, news media and various debate shows discussed a hot topic—was it the emperor's new clothes, or turning falsehood into truth?
Stop showing off, now all the pressure is on me!
Some people think that knowing someone's secret can control them, like Xiao Jun secretly coming to the Blood God Sect, he must disguise himself thoroughly, including when facing adversities, he must endure shame and humiliation with tears, maybe even having to compromise his dignity... ah no, Xia Hailu wouldn't read those kinds of women's novels, Xiao Jun was too noticeable!
