Alliance Situation
Although General Huang is already several hundred years old, he has a 25-year-old granddaughter.
This granddaughter is the only child left behind by his son, who died in interstellar battle a few years ago, and she is the apple of his eye.
However, due to a recent malfunction during the Mecha Evolution, she fell into a prolonged coma and has not woken up since.
General Huang traveled far and wide, begging for help from all sides, and finally learned that the Sea Soul Orb could save her.
This is what gave Wang Qianduo the opportunity to obtain the Purple Thunder Orb. Otherwise, how could a master like General Huang possibly give up something like the Purple Thunder Orb that could enhance his strength?
"How's the situation?" Old Luo asked after the two fused the Sea Soul Orb into a blue Mecha using Magic Power.
"She's basically stable now, we're just waiting for her to wake up!" General Huang said, looking at the device in front of him. He couldn't let anything happen to her, no matter what.
"Old Huang, what are your plans to do about Xiao Rui's situation?" Old Luo asked General Huang, referring to Huang Rui's failed evolution.
As General Huang's granddaughter, Huang Rui has been exceptionally gifted since childhood. With her innate affinity for Magic Energy, the failure of her Mecha Evolution is definitely not just a simple accident.
"We don't know who did it yet, but I won't let them get away with it. I'll start by investigating those who made me side with them," Old Huang said with a grim expression.
Old Luo didn't say anything upon hearing this, believing that the chances of Old Huang finding out were slim.
Since those in the Alliance who are vying for power have already set their sights on top-tier combatants like Old Huang, they must have a meticulous plan.
With Old Huang's easygoing and unassuming nature, it would be too difficult for him to investigate these things.
But Old Luo didn't want to care about these things. He was also indifferent to worldly affairs and only wanted to protect his Homeworld.

While Old Huang was rescuing his granddaughter, Wang Qianduo finally accumulated enough experience to evolve the Source of Magic.
No problem, just retrieve the materials from the warehouse and evolve directly.
The Source of Magic (Epic)
LV10
Binding
Energy Core
Mecha of level 10 and above are compatible
HP+1000
MP+1000
Strength +70
Agility +70
Intelligence +70
HP recovery +150%
MP recovery +300%
All skills level +LV3
Skill attack power +15%
Skill damage +15%
Magic Energy Burst: Restores 15% HP and 15% MP per second for 20 seconds after activation.
Growth: Mecha Level 20, Elemental Heart (0/1), 1 million EXP
Note: In the place where Light and Darkness intertwine, at the moment when all the stars in the heavens are shrouded in darkness, the world will tremble for me.
After evolving, the Magic Energy Heart gained 500 more HP and MP, 20 more in all three stats, and other attributes also increased.
Overall, the stats of this equipment are still miles ahead of any other Perfect item of the same level.
Wang Qianduo believes that the most terrifying kind of growth is the growth in skill level.
If he continues to grow in this way, Wang Qianduo's skill damage in the later stages is something he himself can't even imagine.
After his equipment was upgraded, his attack reached 371 and his health reached 3450.
His mana is practically irrelevant now; the combined effects of the Arcane Set and Source of Magic make it virtually impossible for him to run out of mana.

After the evolution of the Source of Magic was completed, Wang Qianduo came to Flying Bull Star alone.
He was going to deal with Meteorite, which required him to fight in the air, and his teammates could offer him little help.
"Hello, I was sent by General Huang to help deal with the Meteorite!" Wang Qianduo said to the NPC at the base on Flying Bull Star.
But the other person just glanced at him and said, "Okay."
Wang Qianduo: "..."
This was the first time he had ever encountered an NPC who treated him with such contempt, leaving Old Wang completely bewildered.
"Zero, check why!"
"Yes, sir!"
Old Wang summoned Zero, who hadn't appeared in a long time, and asked him to investigate why this was happening.
"Sir, we've found out. This person is a Conservative Faction. General Huang seems to be siding with the Radical Faction lately, and he seems to see you as a political enemy!"
"Old Huang is going to take sides? Does someone of his rank even need to take sides?" Wang Qianduo asked, surprised.
"Sea Soul Orb," Zero reminded him, and upon hearing this, Wang Qianduo instantly understood the cause and effect.
Old Huang suddenly needed the Sea Soul Orb in a very urgent way, and the Radical Faction probably had it, but they were forcing Old Huang to choose sides.
For some reason, the Conservative Faction assumed that Old Huang had already taken sides and chose to directly attack Old Huang's faction.
Who are Old Huang's associates? I'm not familiar with NPC Wang Qianduo, but he's the only Player! Now we might have to add his teammates too.
Has their power struggle escalated to this point?
"Not only that! It's even more intense in larger Star Domain!"
Then Ling explained what he had found out to Wang Qianduo.
The current supreme authority of the Alliance Chair, Chief General Xun Min, will be Daoren in one year. He has already served three terms, totaling 15 years.
After Daoren this time, he will not be eligible for re-election.
Currently, there are three candidates vying for the next Alliance Chair: Zhang Ping'an from the Conservative Faction, Li Yulong from the Radical Faction, and Ye Wuyou from the Neutral Faction.
Ye Wuyou, a Neutral Faction candidate, was simply someone pushed up by the Neutral Faction to make up the numbers. No one knows how old he is; all that is known is that he is basically present in every election for Alliance Chair.
The Normal public doesn't even know if this person actually exists, because they've never heard of him having any achievements.
The real competitors are actually only Zhang Ping'an from the Conservative Faction and Li Yulong from the Radical Faction.
Zhang Ping'an is the patriarch of the Zhang Family, a major family in the Alliance. Although his name is simple, no one in the entire Alliance dares to underestimate it.
The Zhang Family Alliance is currently the strongest family, with three publicly known Legendary- level experts, and their businesses spanning across the galaxy.
Among them, the Zhang Family, the largest shareholder of Halo Corporation, the leading technology company in the Alliance.
With the Zhang Family possessing such strength, one can only imagine the power of their patriarch.
Zhang Ping'an is not only the commander-in-chief of the Northern Alliance Space Fleet, but also a master of Perfect skill.
He once led troops and wiped out Insectoid interstellar force centered around six Leviathan with almost equal numbers of soldiers.
But even with this kind of person, Li Yulong, who was competing against him, was not at a disadvantage at all, and even had the upper hand.
In terms of ability, Li Yulong is actually more outstanding because he comes from a truly "commoner" background.
Of course, "commoner" should be in quotes. Li Yulong's parents were both professors at the Alliance Interstellar Academy, and he was a direct disciple of the Interstellar Academy's dean.
Actually, it's not accurate to say he came from a commoner background; it would be more accurate to say he came from the Academy background.
Li Yulong is the commander-in-chief of the Southern Fleet, holding the same Position and rank as Zhang Ping'an, but he is over 100 years younger than Zhang Ping'an and is a true "young" genius.
Li Yulong's achievements were even more outstanding than Zhang Ping'an's. He wiped out three Leviathan units with only half the number of Insectoid forces and discovered the location of the Insectoid Leviathan King.
However, such a record did not give him the upper hand in the election; in fact, he was even overshadowed by suspicions of fraud.
However, the situation has recently shifted due to General Huang's case.
Never underestimate the influence of General Huang, this veteran legend. The Six-Armed Wisdom King is an idol to countless people.
This is also why the Conservative Faction are somewhat anxious right now, because once General Huang takes sides, they will be in an unimaginable disadvantage.
These things aren't actually hidden very well; they can be easily pieced together by carefully analyzing the various fragmented pieces of information in the game.
But most Player don't even pay attention to real-world elections, so who would care about elections in a game?
Aside from those hardcore gamers who delve deeply into the game's storyline and Player from large guilds, these things are basically ignored.
"So that's why Old Huang went all out to give me the Purple Thunder Orb this time! So there was this connection!"
After understanding the whole story, Old Wang felt truly helpless.
But there was nothing he could do; he was now firmly labeled as part of General Huang's faction.
He enjoyed the convenience of General Huang's frequent special treatment of him, but of course, he also had to bear the consequences.
However, these things won't last long, because he helped Old Huang solve the problem of the Orb.
"It seems I'll have to keep an eye on this from now on. I just wonder if Player have the right to vote. If they do, then the tournament might be on the rise!"
"The Player's privileges are currently under discussion within the Alliance. Alliance who believe Player should have certain rights are at a significant disadvantage, but a final conclusion has not yet been reached," Zero said.
