Heavenly Silver Empire's envoy slain in an instant, the Heavenly Silver Empire's old ancestor appears
The Star River Messenger of the Heavenly Silver Empire, though seemingly arriving suddenly, had actually been traveling day and night, crossing light-years, through billions of star channels.
However, the empire's territory was too vast, with star systems spanning hundreds of millions of light-years. Even the empire's exclusive faster-than-light jump routes took an extremely long time to traverse.
At this moment, the imperial envoy, tasked with taking over the Blue Star, finally tore through the outer star barrier and arrived at this remote Blue Star.
Once in orbit and looking down at the entire planet, the imperial envoy's initial indifference and arrogance faded somewhat.
He traveled through the desolate star regions of the Milky Way Galaxy, and was used to seeing barren borderlands and impoverished civilizations. But the Blue Star before him was brimming with spiritual energy, with dragon veins stretching across the land and mountains and seas teeming with life.
The planet's energy level, spiritual energy concentration, and civilizational foundation far exceed what the imperial archives describe as a "primitive, uncivilized borderland planet."
At this moment, he finally truly realized the extraordinary nature of Blue Star.
It was precisely because of this unexpected variable that he no longer intended to take over in a step-by-step, gentle manner.
Boom!
The envoy's vast cultivation at the interstellar level suddenly exploded, and a dazzling silver-white energy beam broke through the atmosphere, hanging high above the Blue Star's sky.
The overwhelming interstellar pressure instantly covered every inch of the earth, causing mountains and rivers to tremble, wind and clouds to freeze, and all evolved beings to become immobilized and unable to move.
Using a secret technique of the Imperial Star Domain, he forcefully proclaimed a cold and domineering Divine Thought, echoing deep within the minds of every human being on Blue Star: "I am a special envoy of the Heavenly Silver Empire Star Domain!"
"By order of the Imperial Central Government, we are officially taking over the control of the entire territory, civilization, and living beings of Blue Star!"
"All humanity within the realm, immediately lay down your arms, surrender, abandon resistance, and accept the Imperial command!"
Those who stubbornly resist will be annihilated!
The domineering declaration resounded throughout the world, carrying the absolute arrogance of a superior interstellar civilization crushing a lowly native race.
Above the heavens, the figure of the messenger, clad in a silver-white star-studded robe, hovered high in the sky, his cold gaze sweeping over the vast human world.
He spread his Divine Thought and instantly perceived the military movements, the gathering of evolved beings, and the activation of war preparations of the major powers on Blue Star.
On the borders of the Xia Kingdom, in various war zones, and in secret realm outposts, countless powerful figures are already poised to fight, displaying a posture of vowing to resist to the death and never surrendering.
Upon seeing this, the envoy's eyes flashed with utter murderous intent.
In his eyes, these struggling and rebellious creatures of Blue Star were nothing more than narrow-minded, ignorant native ants.
How dare a mere, uncertified, low-level civilization defy the imperial decree?
A murderous intent surged within him; he had already made up his mind that only a bloody massacre could establish his authority and subdue the world against such stubborn natives.
Make an example of someone to warn others; establish rules through bloodshed.
And the Xia Kingdom, the most profound, most resistant, and most deeply rooted nation on the entire Blue Star, was the first target he chose to exterminate.
Once the Xia Kingdom is crushed, blood flows for miles, and the will to resist of humanity on Blue Star is utterly shattered, the remaining nations will naturally submit and collapse without a fight.
With a single thought, a nation can be slaughtered, and all living beings will turn to dust.
But just as this extremely cold, brutal, and indifferent thought of annihilation arose in the depths of his soul—
Crack! Boundless, dark purple lightning silently emerged from the void.
There was no warning, no roar, no unusual celestial phenomena.
The domineering lightning instantly pierced through the messenger's soul and body.
This special envoy from the Heavenly Silver Empire, who had traveled light-years and possessed top-tier interstellar combat power, didn't even have time to let out a scream, activate any protective energy, or retain a trace of his divine soul.
Physical body, soul, cultivation level, and stellar power were all instantly annihilated, shattered, and reduced to nothing by the origin of thunder.
In an instant, the silvery-white light vanished completely, and the oppressive aura hanging high in the sky dissipated entirely.
The dignified imperial envoy was reduced to ashes and utterly annihilated.
Only one ancient, dark, seemingly ordinary square token, pierced through the lightning, remained perfectly intact, floating in mid-air, quietly suspended beneath the clear sky, without the slightest damage.
On the street corner, Chen Du stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile slowly spreading across his eyes.
He had long seen through appearances. A mere envoy sent abroad dared to be so domineering and tyrannical, readily slaughtering and purging entire civilizations. There was no way he could be backed by the imperial system alone.
The Heavenly Silver Empire was indeed not as simple as it appeared.
With a thunderous roar, the ancient token trembled violently in the next instant, unleashing a vast and boundless galactic light.
A blurry yet incredibly majestic phantom was projected from the token, hanging high above the Blue Star.
This figure appeared hazy and indifferent, yet the primal aura flowing around him was so clearly overwhelming that it crushed the entire world!
It was shockingly high— the Fourteenth Tier!
Just like Chen Du now, they are both beginners in the Universe Life Lord Realm.
However, this projection's aura was more restrained and profound, its foundation deeply hidden. It seemed to have just entered the Fourteenth Tier, but no one knew how many years it Lie Dormant.
Above the void, the illusory figure of the Star River Ancestor slowly raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the sea of clouds and landing precisely on the young Daoist on the street.
There was no murderous intent, no hostility, and not a trace of confrontation.
Instead, a loud, hearty laugh that seemed to echo across the heavens and the earth filled the air.
"Ha ha!"
"For such a small, remote star region to produce a newly promoted Fourteenth Tier talent is truly a prodigy, a miracle against the heavens!"
As the laughter subsided, the old man became extremely humble, and his tone was so straightforward it was unbelievable.
"Young friend, there's no need for caution. I am the reclusive patriarch of the Heavenly Silver Empire."
"That foolish fellow was ignorant of his own limitations and offended you, young friend. His demise is entirely his own fault, and he deserves to die a thousand deaths."
He slightly raised his hand, and with a single, decisive word, decided the ownership of countless galaxies. "The Milky Way Galaxy is vast and boundless; Fourteenth Tier powerhouse is more than capable of governing a single star system."
"Today, I will bestow upon you the entire Milky Way Galaxy, along with its thirteen subordinate star systems!"
"The Heavenly Silver Empire shall immediately submit documents to the Human Federation Central Committee, relinquishing all sovereignty over star systems, completing the official procedures, and formally registering the transfer with the Universal Human Federation."
From this day forward, the entire Milky Way Galaxy, the entire territory of Blue Star, and all ownership of civilizations belong solely to you, young friend!
Chen Du's eyes widened slightly in surprise, a hint of unexpectedness rising in his heart.
The Milky Way Galaxy is so vast, with a diameter of 100,000 light-years, containing billions of galaxies, countless star fields, diverse civilizations, and inexhaustible resources.
Such a foundational territory of a top-tier star system was so easily given away, casually handed over.
As if seeing through his thoughts, the Void Ancestor smiled faintly, his tone calm and composed, displaying the vision and perspective of a top-tier expert:
"Young friend, you're making a fuss over nothing. For an ordinary Thirteenth Tier cultivator, ruling over a dynasty and unifying a star field is already the pinnacle."
"But you and I are already Fourteenth Tier cosmic life rulers. A Fourteenth Tier powerhouse possessing an entire star system is a standard and natural asset, tacitly approved by the Federation."
This statement is frank and honest; every word is true.
In the face of the true supreme order of the heavens, a Milky Way Galaxy is merely the basic capital for Fourteenth Tier ruler to establish himself, utterly insignificant.
Seeing that the other party was so insightful, straightforward, ruthless, and extremely courteous, Chen Du was speechless for a moment.
