Restless Subordinate Civilizations

Those who could attend this court meeting were all big shots in Tiangong, so the identity of this person called Balo by the old Angel King was certainly not low. He was the Chief Prefect of the six major institutions in Palace City. The specific responsibilities have been introduced in the previous text, so I won't go into details here.

Balo was a middle-aged fat man. Although his figure was a bit bloated, the shrewd glint that flashed from time to time in his small eyes could not be ignored.

On the surface, he seemed honest and kind, but in reality, he was cunning and opportunistic. He had done a lot of scheming to get to where he was today.

After becoming a Prefect, he could be said to be like a local emperor in the Tian Cheng district. He also used the power in his hands to gather a large group of beautiful women, teaching them the etiquette and norms of Tiangong, elevating their self-cultivation, and the skills to please men. Finally, he placed these beauties beside some Tiangong big shots, either controlling others to work for him, or pleasing others to provide him with convenience.

By the way, the 'exercise equipment' for Hua Ye and Hua Xiong brothers was also provided by him, a pimp.

After arriving at the center of the hall and saluting the old Angel King, Balo didn't delay. He took out a palm-sized Storage Device and began to speak.

"As our Angel Civilization becomes more and more prosperous, the subordinate civilizations that come to us for refuge have become more and more numerous. There are many benefits, for example, they can help us find scarce mineral veins, or they can serve as vanguards to explore the enemy's reality during large-scale battles. However, there are also disadvantages!"

Speaking of this, Balo paused, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Some civilizations' rulers, under the protection of our angels, may have lived a comfortable life for too long, and have actually begun to breed ambition, which is unsettling~"

"What?!"

"They simply have the gall of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"

"Which civilization is it? I'll take troops over and destroy them..."

In the hall, besides 'civil officials' like Balo, there were of course also many 'military officials'. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, the hall immediately became noisy. The commanders of those Angel legions, one by one, revealed fierce looks, rubbing their fists and palms, wishing they could immediately send troops to suppress the subordinate civilizations that had rebellious intentions.

Hua Que waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said to Balo, "Continue!"

"Yes, Angel King!" Balo nodded, looked around, and suddenly smiled, "Actually, if you think about it from another perspective, you can understand why they are like this. They have clearly discovered scarce and valuable resources, but they have to offer them to others. They clearly want to develop, but they are restricted by others. No matter who it is, they will feel dissatisfied..."

"That's utter nonsense!" A legion commander behind Hua Zhen suddenly shouted sharply, pointing at Balo's nose and cursing, "Balo, which side are you on?"

"Heh~ Of course I'm on the side of our Angel Civilization. Commander Kent doesn't need to make a fuss. I haven't finished speaking yet..." The smile on Balo's face did not diminish, but his voice became cold, "Understanding is understanding, but it doesn't mean that our Angel Civilization allows them to do this!"

As he spoke, he lit up the light energy projection of the Storage Device, projecting two images into the center of the hall: "Please take a look, everyone. These two subordinate civilizations, one is called Felinton, and the other is called Alva. Among many Spacefaring Civilizations, their technological development can be considered outstanding.

Not long ago, the Acting Prefect I sent to station there actually detected Dark Energy fluctuations on their planets. This is terrible. You must know that Spacefaring Civilizations cannot have the technical means to drive Dark Energy due to technological limitations. My subordinates investigated there for a long time without any results, so they reported the news to me..."

The expressions of everyone in the hall changed upon hearing this, because they all thought of a possibility: the Felinton and Alva civilizations might be doing Super Gene research!!

In this era, Super Gene, this cutting-edge technology, is a chess piece in the game between various advanced civilizations, like a strategic weapon. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a monopolized technology, so advanced civilizations cannot allow low-level subordinate civilizations to possess it.

Think about it, if every civilization had the ability to enter the gene era, wouldn't it be able to threaten the hegemonic rule of advanced civilizations at any time? Everyone is clear about this.

"It seems everyone has thought of it~" Balo put away the light energy projection and said to Hua Que, "Angel King, that's all I have to report!"

Hua Que nodded, and after he stepped down, he slowly opened his mouth: "I agree with a sentence Balo said earlier. Some civilizations' rulers may have really lived a comfortable life for too long under the protection of our angels, so there must be many like Felinton and Alva!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted coldly: "What we angels need are obedient and grateful subordinate civilizations, not some ingrates who harbor evil intentions and attempt to resist!"

Hearing his words, Miller and He Zheng below couldn't help but look at each other. People only remember that Hua Que is a kind and benevolent ruler, and they have probably completely forgotten that this person was once an out-and-out iron-blooded monarch~

"In that case, Third Prince and Fourth Prince, you two go to Felinton and Alva respectively to deal with this matter. Consider it as a trial after adulthood. Regardless of whether the Super Gene research is verified or not, the power centers of these two civilizations must be reshuffled. Give those other restless guys a warning by killing the chicken to scare the monkey. Is everyone clear?"

The Fourth Prince Hua Xiong ran out with his belly protruding and quickly agreed. Although Hua Zhen was reluctant, he did not want to offend the old Angel King at this time.

"Alright, that's all for today. I'm tired, everyone, step down."

The old Angel King wearily rubbed his temples and waved his hand. The people in the hall no longer spoke, respectfully saluted, and then quietly withdrew from the hall.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you?" Just as they walked out of the hall, Hua Tuo grabbed Hua Zhen and asked like a barrage of questions, "Weren't you always very afraid of death? Why did you suddenly want to go to the battlefield with me? Could it be related to that Lieyang Civilization?" He still remembered Hua Zhen's huge reaction when he saw the Lieyang Civilization's light projection.

"I am also very puzzled. I wonder if the Third Prince can tell this old minister?" Left Wing King Miller also walked over and said with a smile.

Hua Zhen looked at them for a while, knowing that if he couldn't give a reason, they definitely wouldn't let him go. After thinking for a while, he said with a serious expression, "Left Wing King and Second Brother, that Lieyang Civilization is not simple!"

Hua Tuo and Miller exchanged glances, "Oh? How so?"

Shaking his head, Hua Zhen said, "I can't say, but the feeling Lieyang Civilization gives me is more threatening than that Horton Civilization!"

This wasn't something he made up on the spot. Aside from the relationship between the Lieyang Civilization and Earth, just the special gene they had researched made him feel a strange sense of familiarity. Later, he carefully pondered what Miller had said at the time.

'Achieving high-temperature strikes by absorbing stellar energy!'

Isn't this a simplified version of the Stellar Drive in his mind? At that time, the shock in his heart was beyond words. As technology continues to improve, the abilities evolved from the Stellar Drive are not just simple high-temperature strikes!

According to Hua Zhen's understanding, the Stellar Drive has five high-end technologies from simple to difficult, namely: Micro Flare Bombardment, Medium Flare Bombardment, Giant Solar Flare Bombardment, Supernova Bombardment, and the ultimate Sun Avatar. If a person really masters these things, he can be considered, no, he is a mobile stellar energy body.

The Heavenly Dao Star System where the Lieyang Civilization is located has an extremely high density of stars, which makes Hua Zhen even more certain that the gene they researched is related to Stellar Drive technology. Isn't this threat big enough?

"The Horton Civilization is even older than the Angel Civilization, and a newly emerging Lieyang is more threatening than them... Third brother, aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Hua Tuo said amusingly, and Miller beside him also showed the same expression.

"You guys know that I have no interest in competing for the throne, but technology is different. It is very attractive to me, so I am very sensitive to certain technological things. In my opinion, the unique ability researched by the Lieyang Civilization is unimaginably threatening. You can't go wrong if you believe me!" Hua Zhen said.

Hearing his words, the expressions of Hua Tuo and Miller both became serious.

"So, the Third Prince wants to understand Lieyang's technology, so he asked the Angel King for orders?" Miller asked after thinking for a while.

"...Yes!" Hua Zhen replied 'pushing the boat along the river', pretending to sigh, "But Father doesn't allow it~"

Hua Tuo pondered for a moment, "How about this, Third brother, after I lead the army to the Kunt Civilization and make contact with Lieyang, I will transmit their information to you as soon as possible, and then you can help me research ways to counter them, how about it?"

Just waiting for you to say that!

Hua Zhen was secretly delighted and said with a smile, "Of course, no problem, the more detailed the information you dig up, the better!"
