Bai Zhongqi stood proudly atop the Elder Race's mothership, which was not exactly a dedicated warship, but rather the Elder Race's mobile palace. Nobody knows who built this ship anymore, and when they went to the "Elder Race's Senior Activity Room," no one ca forward to claim Bai Zhongqi's ship.
The mothership of the Elder Race was not only used to traverse the universe but was also capable of traveling through ti. It was not specialized in combat, but it was probably stronger than the main battle ships of most high-level civilizations when it ca to fighting.
Bai Zhongqi still couldn't figure out the chanism of this mothership. It was clearly not operated by the Supre Command. Bai Zhongqi inserted the key into the White Jade Pillar like operating an excavator and then was able to control the ship rely with his consciousness.
A casual barrage was all it took to bring down the swarming dragons, like swatting mosquitoes, a piece of cake.
Zero stood by Bai Zhongqi, opened his subspace, and released a large number of gluttonous beasts, which began to wildly consu the carcasses of the dragons on the ground and collect the powerful biotechnology DNA of these creatures for Zero.
"With this DNA, I should be able to evolve to at least the level of an interdiate civilization," Zero said optimistically. The re Warship Dragon contained a lot of useful technology in itself.
The Swarm and the dragons shared so similarities; their technologies were unbalanced and imperfect, but there was no doubt that their combat power was extrely terrifying. After obtaining the genetic makeup of the Warship Dragon, Zero could even create warship enslaved beasts to engage in cosmic wars.
Zero pouted slightly and cutely said, "It's a sha that you, Chancellor, are originally from the Elder Race and have already mastered such powerful technology from the Elder Race. My Swarm is futile now, only good for keeping you warm."
Bai Zhongqi laughed and said, "The Elder Race mothership is too conspicuous, and the stakes are high, so I better be cautious. Normally, we can just use your spaceship for transportation."
Zero smiled sweetly and pointed below, "All that matters not, Chancellor. Look, the people below are worshipping you."
Below, on the battlefield that was once filled with the air of defeated soldiers, human warriors were now cheering, embracing each other, shedding tears of joy, discarding their weapons, and so even prostrated on the ground, singing praises to the huge warship in the sky.
Bai Zhongqi grunted and said, "Bring up the Twelve Knights of Destiny."
Zero complied, dispatching flying enslaved beasts to bring the twelve still-surprised and jubilant Knights of Destiny from the ground to the mothership above.
The colossal Elder Race mothership didn't look like a ship at all, but rather a giant structure pulled up from the earth. The original altar platform, aside from the areas damaged by the firing ports, was still very flat and could accommodate people.
In fact, many humans and enslaved beasts were already standing on the platform, for they had been fighting here when the mothership took off.
Zang Murenqing and the other Knights, carrying their divine artifacts, ca before Bai Zhongqi, and the twelve knights knelt on one knee before him in tacit agreent.
Zang Murenqing said, "Chancellor, we have won."
Bai Zhongqi nodded and said, "Yes." He seed unusually silent.
Zang Murenqing sensed a different aura emanating from Bai Zhongqi, but the others did not realize it so quickly.
Ze Pei laughed, "It was indeed an epic battle. It will be passed down forever, and the Chancellor's heroic na will be immortal."
Bai Zhongqi said earnestly, "Not only will my heroic na live forever, but so will I."
Bai Zhongqi looked around at all the knights and said, "I am immortal."
Everyone was astonished, but since Bai Zhongqi had already brought so many shocks, the fact that he claid to be immortal was accepted by the knights.
Zang Murenqing said, "It's good this way. You can always lead and educate the people of Yimoduoya, turning it into the truly powerful and happy civilization you envision."
Bai Zhongqi shook his head and said, "No, I will no longer make that happen. You must do it for ."
Xu Erli was taken aback and quickly asked, "Why, Teacher? Where are you going?"
Bai Zhongqi nodded, "I am leaving. My mission here is now complete. From now on I will issue my decrees to you through the Supre Command, but you, the Twelve Knights of Destiny, my trusted students and war generals, will carry out everything I have taught you. Yimoduoya will henceforth be renad Iridium Star. The state I have established here will be known as the United Empire of the Iridium Star. The United Empire will continue to expand its civilization and beco a leading power in the Galaxy, and the people of Iridium Star will walk through the stars with pride, earning the reverent gaze of other civilizations in the universe."
Xu Erli, nearly in tears, protested, "No, Teacher, don't go. If you leave, I will follow you!"
Bai Zhongqi gazed at Xu Erli, and for so reason, thought of Xu Lanzhou's face. Compared to his own descendants, Xu Erli didn't have a stunning appearance, but she was full of a young girl's courage and charm. This only made Bai Zhongqi miss and feel sowhat anxious, wondering what Xu Lanzhou was doing at this mont in the Second Universe.
Zang Murenqing knew that the decision Bai Zhongqi had made could not be changed. He knelt on one knee before Bai Zhongqi once again and declared loudly, "We will fulfill the instructions of our teacher, the Twelve Knights of Destiny will always be loyal to you. We will spread the culture you have taught us, Mandarin will beco the language of Iridium Star. The United Empire will be guarded generation after generation by the descendants of the Twelve Knights of Destiny! Following your teachings, from now on, the Dun Banner Knight Family will take the surna Zang. The Zang family will carry the flag for the Chancellor, invincible wherever our swords point!"
In Yimoduoya, there were no surnas, while the Lord Nobility used their domains as the nas of their families.
Ze Pei said, "I might as well join in the fun. In the honest books you had read, Zhang is a common surna, and its pronunciation is also similar to the first character of my na. The Fane Banner Knight Family will take the surna Zhang."
Xu Erli naturally took the surna Xu, Mao Riyantie took the surna Mao. Shi Nazhen took the surna Shi. Biesugai took the surna Bian. Huohuchai took the surna Huo. Lie Wu took the surna Lie. Jiang Li took the surna Jiang. Tie Yan took the surna Tie.
A few knights copied Ze Pei's thod, choosing surnas for themselves that sounded similar.
Awie said, "After all, I am of dragon bloodline, and although dragons have all been wiped out, their strength remains unaltered. I shall take the surna Long (Dragon)."
Bai Zhongqi nodded his head, his gaze settling on the last person who had yet to speak: Gang Naj.
Gang Naj thought for a long ti, his face beaming with joy. He really liked the familial feeling among the knights, and he didn't notice the coldness in Bai Zhongqi's eyes. He said, "When I was reading, I practiced a character, 'Xiao.' I found it to be a very beautiful Chinese character, so I will use it as my surna."
Bai Zhongqi nodded his head.
He walked over to Gang Naj, who still looked up excitedly and admiringly at his teacher.
Bai Zhongqi placed his hand on his chest with an indifferent expression and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Star Energy turned into the most terrifying blade and burst forth from Bai Zhongqi's left hand, piercing through Gang Naj's heart!
"Gang Naj!" Xu Erli cried out.
All the knights couldn't understand what had just happened, least of all Gang Naj himself, who worshipped Bai Zhongqi to an unparalleled degree.
Bai Zhongqi did not have the courage to look at the confused and pained expression on the face of the young man who had fallen to the ground, assassinated by the teacher he trusted and admired most—a fate Gang Naj had never imagined for himself.
Zang Murenqing even doubted whether Bai Zhongqi was still their teacher. But he knew that no matter why the teacher had done this, he couldn't change anything. Bai Zhongqi's power was too great—armies of Enslaved Beasts, soaring warships, and his status as the Savior in the hearts of millions.
He glanced briefly at Gang Naj, whose brilliance was gradually dissipating from his eyes, feeling indifferent. One of the Twelve Knights of Destiny had died, but their mission to rule over this planet had not changed.
Bai Zhongqi's own heart ached unbearably; he knew he had always been too soft-hearted. However, when Gang Naj proudly announced his surna, Bai Zhongqi rembered the pain of his severed arm at the Wuyagong Palace, the resolve of Zero to self-destruct, the anguish of not knowing whether Xu Lanzhou and Han Jiaxue were alive or dead, the frustration of losing the Star Alliance from his own hands.
Although the Elder Race should not attempt to change history, Bai Zhongqi couldn't help himself. He hardened his heart and killed Gang Naj.
But at the mont of death, he felt heartbroken again.
Yet although he could convince himself that it was not Gang Naj but his descendants who were evil, he could never overco the karmic obstacle within himself.
Kill! The Seal-bearing Knight Family, nefarious at heart, was an unstable factor within the Empire, deserving of death!
Zero's eyes also widened in shock; she could hardly believe that Bai Zhongqi, who had always been the softest and kindest, had now killed Gang Naj. Even though Zero would have taken action herself, she was surprised that Bai Zhongqi had the heart to do such a thing.
Bai Zhongqi felt an emptiness within, unsure whether he had altered the continuity of ti and space, but that didn't matter. From the mont he awoke beneath the surface of Iridium Star five thousand years ago, even with all his smiles and ordinary deanor, he had already parted ways with the Bai Zhongqi of the past.
Stripped of his role as Chancellor of the Star Alliance, he established Iridium Star. He had only one purpose in his heart: revenge. To reclaim everything that was his and make the usurpers pay the price they deserved.
But at this mont, he realized that the further he walked the path of vengeance, the less he resembled himself. He was unwilling to stay a mont longer on the Iridium Star of five thousand years past, for he dared not look upon the body of Gang Naj, nor face the questioning looks of the other knights.
"May you bring strength and prosperity to Iridium Star. As for , I take my leave."
