Death God Karl Wants to Use the Cyber Heavenly Court as a Stepping Stone

Inside the office of the Juxia.

Looking at Dileina, who was visibly anxious before him, Du Kao removed his cap and spoke to her with a hint of apology: "Just before you arrived, I received a notice brought by Mao Shen."

Hearing the apologetic tone in Du Kao's voice, Dileina immediately sensed that something was wrong—what he was about to tell her might be beyond her comprehension.

But even with that foreboding, Dileina still held onto a sliver of hope as she looked at Du Kao, quietly waiting for him to continue.

Seeing Dileina's big, tearful eyes that looked like she might cry at any moment, Du Kao almost didn't want to tell her the notice he had received.

Because once he revealed it, Dileina would likely be unable to accept it for a long time.

Yet if he didn't tell her, he wouldn't be fulfilling his duty as the general of the Xiong Bing Lian.

So for a moment, Du Kao's heart was filled with conflict.

If he told Dileina, he feared she wouldn't be able to handle the outcome, which might cause her to lose control over the super gene inside her.

If he didn't tell her, he, as the commander-in-chief of the Xiong Bing Lian, would be seriously derelict in his duty.

Seeing Du Kao's agonized expression, the last trace of hope on Dileina's face vanished completely.

Even without Du Kao saying it outright, a moment's thought was enough for Dileina to understand that the news he had received was probably not good.

After realizing this, Dileina took a deep breath, mentally prepared herself, and then spoke to Du Kao: "It's okay, just say it. I can handle it."

"As the future Sun God, I believe I can face any situation."

Hearing Dileina's voice and seeing her resolute gaze, Du Kao let out a slow sigh and said to her: "The information I received from Mao Shen is that you are to stay on Earth for a full year."

"He has already received orders from Pan Zhen and returned to Cloud City to assist Pan Zhen with his next plan."

"As for what plan he's going back to help Pan Zhen execute, he didn't tell me, and I don't know."

At the sound of Du Kao's words, Dileina's mind exploded, and she became dazed.

To be honest, despite having mentally prepared herself, Dileina still found it hard to accept this "betrayal" from her relative Pan Zhen.

She didn't understand. She couldn't comprehend.

If Pan Zhen truly had ambitions to usurp the throne, why wait until now?

Why not kill her outright after her father fell in battle and her grandfather committed suicide to atone? Why raise her at all?

As Dileina's expression grew vacant, several female members of the Xiong Bing Lian quickly stepped forward and caught her, preventing her from collapsing to the floor.

Looking at the utterly dejected Dileina in Rui Mengmeng's arms, Qilin spoke softly: "It's okay, Rena. You still have us. No matter what you want to do, we'll help you."

"Even if you want to go back to Solar Star one day to find out the truth, all of us in the Xiong Bing Lian will go with you."

After saying this, Qilin nudged Liu Chuang with her elbow and gave him a meaningful look.

Liu Chuang, standing at the front of the group, caught on immediately after Qilin's gesture.

Understanding her intent, Liu Chuang promptly said to Dileina in Rui Mengmeng's arms: "Yeah, big sister! Aren't we comrades and brothers?"

"If you're in trouble, we'll have your back!"

"Never mind your home planet Solar Star—even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, we'll go with you!"

"Right, brothers?"

"Yeah! Yeah!" After Liu Chuang's shout, the male members of the Xiong Bing Lian chimed in one after another.

Styx Galaxy, Death Academy.

Looking at the barrage Pan Zhen had posted on the Ranking System, Death God Karl shook his head with amusement.

"Liang Bing wasn't wrong—the people of Solar Star really are a bunch of old fossils."

"Without concrete results in front of them, they'll always stay neutral."

"Even when pushed to this point, they can still come up with a way to pull the entire Solar Star out of the situation."

"The whole universe might say Pan Zhen is just a brute, but after today's events, he's clearly no mindless thug."

From Death God Karl's perspective, he could naturally see what Pan Zhen was thinking and why he was doing this.

In the end, it came down to the fact that the Void Engine had yet to enter the view of the major powers in the Known Universe.

If every major civilization in the Known Universe clearly understood the power of the Void Engine, then even Solar Star, a planet full of old fossils, would have no choice but to accept the Void Engine's transformation.

After all, the era of Dark Plane god bodies had reached its end.

Unless they could completely alter the underlying genes of their god bodies like Keisha had, no matter how much time they had, they couldn't develop a Fifth-Generation God Body, let alone a Sixth-Generation God Body.

Unlike the Dark Plane and god bodies, Karl's research had shown him that the Void Engine had no upper limit.

In theory, as long as your technology and knowledge were sufficient, the Void Engine could be continuously upgraded.

That was why Death God Karl believed the Void Engine was the future of the entire Super God Universe.

Because the Void Engine, the Super Gene Engine, and the Dark Plane god body were completely different.

The technology behind the Super Gene Engine had stagnated long ago, unable to advance even a single step further.

While Dark Plane god body technology could be extended and upgraded, it was limited by the underlying genes of intelligent life, preventing further breakthroughs.

But the Void Engine that Death God Karl researched had no ceiling at all.

Faced with these three choices, even a fool would ultimately choose the Void Engine without hesitation.

Having analyzed everything clearly, Death God Karl was firmly convinced that the Void Engine was the future path of the Super God Universe.

With that thought, Death God Karl slowly looked up at the Ranking System in the sky and murmured to himself: "Let the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization open the first door to Void Technology for the entire Known Universe."
