The news that the [White Ghost severely overexerted itself and suffered serious injuries, necessitating rest] quickly spread throughout the Empire.
In fact, it wasn't just within the Empire;
Across the entire Milky Way, aside from the New Federation and its allied regis deliberately blocking the news of 'how the Great Queen was defeated,' most regi news networks were circulating reports on the 'Emperor Star super large cha' and the 'direct confrontation between the White Ghost and the Great Queen.'
The strength of the Empire was periodically etched into the mory of human civilization in the Milky Way.
According to Lyu's analysis, information on the network within the entire Milky Way would logically be periodically cleared.
——Such an ultimate weapon as the Emperor Star cha must have been deployed several tis in history, yet until it was brought out to deal with the soon-to-be ascending Great Queen, there wasn't a trace of information on the 'Empire's super large cha' in the galaxy's digital realm, which was extrely unusual.
Of course, this had little to do with Yang Ming; what he needed to do now was to steer clear of the lilight.
After the insect swarm, human civilization in the Milky Way would inevitably enter a phase of recuperation.
Those countries and regis that weren't stricken by the insect disaster would seize the opportunity to grow larger and stronger, while those severely affected would have to find ways to preserve themselves.
The most unfortunate were those regis that were completely wiped out; post-event statistics showed approximately sixteen small countries and the head stars and key economic stars of three dium-sized nations were not just regi-less but devoid of people, leaving only the wealthy who had fled in advance to the safety of strong countries.
This was the second natural disaster.
On the return journey of the East Wind to Saka Star, Yang Ming was not idle, as communication requests kept coming through.
The first to make contact was Revelle.
When Revelle's hologram appeared before Yang Ming, Lyu had already compiled a simple chart listing Revelle's performance during the insect swarm and provided so 'adjectives' for his boss.
"You did great, Revelle."
Yang Ming solemnly said:
"Though born of nobility, you did not degenerate but kept your composure in facing the insect swarm, encouraged the affected populace, and efficiently mobilized the army to support disaster relief.
"We are comrades now, Revelle. If you have the ti, do co to Saka Star for a drink; we will have plenty of ti to chat about non-political topics."
Revelle's cheeks slightly reddened, maintaining a serious expression mixed with a desire to smile, much like a schoolchild receiving praise from a teacher.
He cleared his throat: "I didn't really do anything... Is your health okay?"
"Of course," Yang Ming replied with a smile, "I was rely exhausted before, took advantage of looking pale to record a video announcing my temporary retirent. My individual contribution during the insect swarm was too prominent, even with high-dinsional civilization as a safeguard, I still need to be cautious about political influence."
"Yes, you are very considerate, I was concerned about this matter previously."
Revelle said seriously: "If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to command ."
"We are friends, Revelle," Yang Ming winked.
Revelle chuckled: "Yes, we are friends!"
"Alright, our Deputy Director Atro is calling in, see you on Saka Star later. I need to have a good chat with him."
"Okay, okay, I will hang up first, wishing you good health!"
Revelle gave an Imperial military salute.
Yang Ming nodded with a smile, raised an eyebrow at Revelle, calmly ended the voice call, and connected to the next one.
Lyu reminded from the side: "Boss, Prince Kinov has also sent a communication invite."
"Let him wait," Yang Ming said calmly, "Atro is my close comrade, the influence of his third uncle is much greater than that of Prince Kinov... By the way, where was Atro hiding before?"
The communication was established, and Lyu could only display text below Atro's hologram.
[Atro initially hid on Emperor Star, then joined the Emperor on the Emperor Star when secret preparations were ordered, enjoying the Emperor's security treatnt the entire ti.]
Yang Ming: ...
When it cos to self-preservation, this Deputy Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau knows how it's done.
"Hey! Hanton!"
Atro exclaid with exaggerated tone:
"You are truly! You are truly, absolutely powerful, the greatest hero in Empire's history, and most comndably, you consistently stand firm on the people's stance, Empire's stance... Oh, heavens! How limited my vocabulary is!"
Yang Ming laughed: "I'm just doing what's within my duties, the things granted to by the Faya people have already had their futures priced in."
"I've reviewed the intelligence analysis," Atro said seriously, "Our research team determined the Great Queen had a chance to escape then beco a formidable future adversary for the Empire. The high-dinsional Space Worm Clan had already intervened, paving a corridor for the Great Queen. It was you and that Valkyrie Po Suo who intercepted her, allowing the Emperor Star cha to hit the mark."
Yang Ming squinted with a grin: "You're correct, but back then, the Faya people probably intervened too, thwarting the high-dinsional insect swarm's actions. By the way, I have exclusive intelligence to share with the Military Intelligence Bureau."
"What intelligence?"
"The Great Queen likely isn't dead," Yang Ming said seriously, "However, she lost her physical body, nullifying her ability to once again pose a threat to the Empire. Her thought body has returned to the high-dinsional space."
"Oh?"
Atro nodded slowly: "Then this is no different from the Great Queen being dead, right?"
"You could say that."
"Then the Great Queen is as good as dead," Atro laughed, "The high-dinsional world is full of unknowns to us, and currently, our civilization cannot enter the high-dinsional world, rendering all of this aningless. Let everyone celebrate and cheer for the Empire's triumph over evil, for humanity's victory over the insect swarm, for you, the Empire's hero."
