The power of origin poured into the Emperor's body.

It caused some changes in his physique, making him tall and divine.

The psychic power that was originally suppressed also showed a slight fluctuation, allowing him to use some psychic methods.

The Emperor closed his eyes and earnestly digested the knowledge emerging in his mind.

Quantum Induction Array Communication Technology, sophon multi-dimensional unfolding manufacturing technology, and the Thought Imprint were all technological routes that humanity in the Golden Age had not yet imagined.

If applied well, they would be of great help to the Empire.

Terra's management efficiency over various regions of the Empire would be greatly enhanced, reducing a lot of unnecessary communication and ruling costs.

"If enough Quantum Induction Array communication towers can be built within the Empire, the Empire's reliance on Astropaths will drop drastically."

"The Thought Imprint is low in cost and reliable in effect; it requires only machines without the need for extra costs."

"If used by the military, the problem of morale collapse when facing those freaks and monsters will be solved."

The Emperor finished digesting the obtained technology and knowledge, then continued to push forward unification.

The global situation was characterized by two superpowers and multiple strong nations.

The United Federation was one of the two superpowers.

The other superpower was the Eastern Great Power.

The situation of the Eastern Great Power was slightly better than that of the United Federation.

Their food shortage problem was also very serious, but they had not yet degenerated to the point of cannibalism.

After careful consideration, the Emperor decided to hold peace talks with them.

He hoped to use peaceful means to make the other party join the Human Empire.

At the warm invitation of the Emperor, the leader of the Eastern Great Power took a special plane to visit.

The two sides held peace talks.

"Establishing a new era where everyone is equal is the shared aspiration of every person with lofty ideals, and that includes me."

"The Eastern Great Power's sense of responsibility toward the people is plain for all to see, and this is why I want to use peaceful means to make you join."

"You still possess a sense of responsibility toward your own people and toward all of humanity."

"As long as you are willing to join the Human Empire, you will not only receive technological support, but I also promise to solve the sophon problem within a certain period of time."

"If it cannot be done, you can break away from the Human Empire at any time and continue to maintain your independent status."

"The Empire is merely a means, not the ultimate goal. When confronting the Trisolaran civilization, centralization is the best approach."

"When humanity wins the war against the Trisolaran civilization, democracy, freedom, and human rights will all be returned to the people."

Faced with the leader of the Eastern Great Power, the Emperor displayed powerful personal charm and erudition.

The leader of the Eastern Great Power weighed the pros and cons and put forward several demands.

First: Regardless of the circumstances, the Empire must always prioritize the interests of the people.

Second: Once the war against the alien civilization ends, autocratic rule must come to an end.

Third: The people of the Empire shall have the right to resist tyranny.

The Emperor agreed to all these conditions, ultimately persuading the Eastern Great Power to peacefully join the Human Empire.

The two major superpowers were forged into a brand-new empire, and even if the remaining nations did not support the unification of the Empire, they could do nothing about it.

In areas such as population, technological level, and productivity, the combination of the two superpowers far exceeded the total of the remaining one hundred and ninety-eight nations.

Some of these nations saw through the situation and chose to join of their own accord.

Fools who resisted stubbornly were annihilated by the Empire.

At this point, more than two hundred countries on Earth were declared extinct.

The Human Empire was formally established, proclaiming the unification of Earth.

"Humanity's technology has been blockaded by sophons, causing the entire civilization to be constantly under the prying eyes of the enemy. This is the first battle we ought to fight."

The Emperor altered five percent of the destiny nodes, acquiring the relevant technology to build sophons.

Combining this with the technological knowledge of the Super God Universe and the Golden Age, he quickly devised a countermeasure.

"We must build ion barriers on a global scale to cut off sophon communication and render the Trisolaran civilization blind."

Ion shields would be used to adsorb free non-nucleated protons in the air.

The Trisolaran civilization controlled protons by unfolding their dimensions and etching circuits internally.

However, there were certain physical laws they still could not defy.

Sophons had a small mass, making it difficult for them to cause any harm, let alone possess the strength to resist the force attraction between fundamental particles.

Once they entered the range of the ion shield, they would be captured by atomic nuclei lacking protons, and quantum communication would also be severed.

In this way, the Trisolaran civilization would completely lose Earth's sophons.

Under the Emperor's command, ion barrier transmission towers began construction everywhere.

Once construction was complete, the ion barriers could be activated, creating a sophon blind zone.

The subterranean labyrinth of Earth's internet—the Trisolaran virtual world.

Members of the ETO gathered here.

The ETO member with the code name Qin Shi Huang was so angry that his body trembled.

They had originally wanted the Emperor to instigate a civil war and consume human strength.

Who could have imagined that the other party's methods would be so terrifying.

Not only did humanity fail to fall into internal strife, but they had instead been unified by him.

Such a thing was simply absurd, a blasphemy against human democracy and freedom.

Establishing the Human Empire was one thing, but now they were going to build protective shields.

The intent was to cut off the sophons' quantum communication and reduce their Lord to blindness.

"That damned bastard," Qin Shi Huang cursed.

Confucius said, "Anger is completely meaningless. We must find a way to stop them; we can never let them succeed."

"How do we stop them?" someone asked.

"At present, there are no other options. We can only ask the Lord to grant us technology. Once they succeed, the Lord will lose control over Earth."

John von Neumann spoke up to express his opinion.

As the first successful Wallbreaker, he held a high status within the ETO organization and was also qualified to converse with the Trisolaran civilization.

As soon as his proposal was uttered, it won the echoes of many members.

Qin Shi Huang stood in place, as if losing his connection, before resuming movement a moment later.

"I have inquired, and the Lord has not refused."

An excited commotion rippled through the crowd.

"With the Lord's help, we will definitely be able to stop them."

"Exterminate human tyranny, the world belongs to Trisolarism."

Qin Shi Huang struck the rock beneath his feet with a clanging sound of his longsword. "This mission is very important. This mission is even more important than assassinating Luo Ji. We must stop the Human Empire, and we must stop that tyrant."

"If we can succeed, the organization's status in the eyes of the Lord will be greatly enhanced! Elite individuals from all fields of the world are gathered here. Everyone go back and think carefully about how to cause the greatest trouble to the Human Empire in your respective fields."

"Gather the conceived plans to me through other channels; this matter must be done with urgency."

Three suns rose, and all the ETO members were burned to ashes, bringing this gathering to an end.

A villa located in the city's outskirts.

All the windows were fitted with bulletproof glass.

Thick steel plates were embedded within the walls.

The villa also possessed a completely independent air purification and water circulation system.

This was not a simple villa, but a villa that could serve as a stronghold.

Inside the villa, a man removed his virtual helmet, revealing a solemn expression.

He was precisely the ETO member with the code name Qin Shi Huang.

"How are we going to deal with the Human Empire?"

The man paced back and forth inside the villa, deep in thought.

Thump!

Thump!

A knock on the door rang out.

"Who is it?" the man asked cautiously.

"You requested pipe maintenance," a voice sounded from outside the door.

The man cautiously checked the situation outside through the surveillance video.

There was no one around the periphery of the villa; only a man wearing worker's clothes stood at the doorway.

Confirming there was no problem, he finally lifted the security measures and opened the door.

Just as he unlocked the final door lock.

With a loud bang, the door was forced open by brute force.

The man behind the door flew backward, colliding with the wall.

It was unknown how many bones in his body were broken, and the pain caused him to moan on the ground, unable to move.

The air beside the maintenance worker rippled, and a strong man hidden within the air stepped out.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Waldo, and I am the Custodian-Guard Commander of the Empire. My task is responsible for hunting down you rats."

"Heh heh heh, human traitor, you already have a way to die."

Raven, who had come along with Waldo, spoke Tang's famous quote with a classic soul-style laugh.
