The Legendary Great Emperor

Su Ke had been operating for quite some time, and eventually, his parents and others learned of this matter.

"Discovered a primitive life planet?" Zuo Mu's sister exclaimed.

"Reporting the discovery of this planet can earn up to 100 billion?" Eloy's mother, that voluptuous blue-haired woman, had eyes filled with fervor.

She was just an ordinary Planetary Rank on Moon River Planet, working a mundane job where earning money was never easy. Having raised her daughter alone, she had never encountered such a windfall from the heavens.

The others were also amazed that their luck was so good this time, to actually encounter an ownerless life planet.

Su Ke had not hidden the discovery of the planet; even if others knew, they lacked the wormhole coordinates.

Kadibus, along with two Stellar Rank 1 Psychic Masters and twenty Planetary Rank 9 Psychic Masters, had already secretly infiltrated the interior of the planet after disguising themselves.

They shared one common trait: they were all proficient in hypnosis and illusion techniques.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... In the wilderness, streaks of light descended from the sky.

They deliberately avoided cities, landing in a desolate and remote stretch of wilderness. The twenty-plus individuals stood on the grass, their armor and clothing styled to match what was common on the planet—hastily fashioned, and naturally, possessing no defensive capabilities.

Kadibus, however, wore a suit that had transformed from his Origin Energy Battle Suit, as he was the leader of this operation team.

High-tech items like their Smart AI were kept hidden.

In reality, through concealed recording equipment on their bodies, the situation here could be transmitted back to the spaceship in real-time, allowing Su Ke to issue instructions at any moment.

Seeing that no one was nearby, Kadibus opened the planet map previously recorded by the spaceship on his Smart AI.

"There is a village nearby." Kadibus waved his hand, leading his subordinates to move quickly in one direction.

Soon, a village nestled by a river appeared before them. The tallest structure in the village was a tower-shaped building, likely a watchtower for sentries, and a ten-meter-high stone wall surrounded the entire village, seemingly to guard against wild beasts. It was midday, and one could faintly see some villagers moving about.

Observing from the woods in the distance, Kadibus did not rush to act. He remembered the master's reminder not to be exposed, so he led his subordinates to silently scout around the village.

"The entire village has been scanned. There are over a thousand people here. The strongest native villager is only an Apprentice Rank 9; there isn't even a single Planetary Rank. It is indeed a weak and ordinary village." Kadibus looked relaxed, and the other team members were equally at ease.

In a place without even a Planetary Rank, these villagers were like lambs to the slaughter; they could do whatever they wanted here.

A single Planetary Rank 9 Psychic Master could silently slaughter an entire village.

However, due to Su Ke's orders, they could not harm these villagers casually; otherwise, who knew what might happen.

"First, learn the language and script of this planet, and collect intelligence on this place." Seeing how weak the village was, Kadibus was no longer as cautious and led his team into the village.

Hum. Invisible psychic power instantly spread, enveloping the entire village. Regardless of what they were doing, over a thousand villagers fell into a state of mental trance.

The hypnosis cast by Kadibus, a Stellar Rank 8 Psychic Master, was not something these villagers, who hadn't even reached Planetary Rank, could resist.

"Everyone, gather in the center of the village." Kadibus's voice echoed in the consciousness of the villagers.

One by one, the controlled villagers, their expressions dull like walking corpses, swayed toward the center of the village. Not a single person spoke; the silence was eerie.

Some team members scattered around the village to stand guard, while the others began collecting various intelligence and information from the hypnotized villagers. They also began gathering various books and information carriers, photographing them with their Smart AI to transmit back to the spaceship for analysis and research.

Meanwhile, Su Ke sat imposingly on the high main seat in the control room, with Khair and Lyumila standing behind him, watching the intelligence organized by the Smart AI.

This planet had been called "Gulei Planet" since ancient times. In addition to vast oceans, it was distributed across three continents and numerous islands. The planet was primarily divided into human species and ferocious beasts, and both human species and beasts consisted of many races. The human species were all intelligent humanoid life forms, while the ferocious beasts possessed great power and mostly low intelligence, though some among them were intelligent.

Kadibus and his team had landed on one of the continents, the "Sea Dragon Continent." Many races were distributed across the continent, establishing nations and tribal powers. This village belonged to a remote, ordinary village within the territory of the "Shan People" nation. The small village had existed for thousands of years; some Planetary Ranks had emerged from it, but they had all gone to more prosperous places and never returned.

Wars existed among all factions. The "Shan People," "Snow People," "Winged People," "Sea People"... whether by race, nation, or religion, they had been fighting for tens of thousands of years.

The entire world, no matter where one looked, was highly martial! Even in this ordinary village, there were some cultivation methods and combat techniques passed down from ancient times. Children began training from a young age, and once they reached a certain stage, they might be conscripted by a lord to join the army and go to the battlefield.

They either fought against enemy nations or against other lords in the vicinity.

Even within a single nation, internal conflicts and interests between various lord factions led to clashes, and even the outbreak of war.

The strength levels of this world were divided into Warrior, Transcendental, Saint... and the legendary Great Emperor.

Warrior was the lowest level, divided into ranks one through nine. Even a rank nine Warrior could mostly only serve as a mid-level officer in the army.

Transcendental was another level of life transformation—transcending the mundane, capable of flying through the sky and burrowing into the earth. Their strength and lifespan far exceeded that of ordinary Warriors, and they were also divided into ranks one through nine. Every Transcendental was courted and treated with courtesy by various factions; joining a nation could easily earn one a noble title and a fief. Even an ordinary person could achieve a leap in social class through this.

Saint was another, even more powerful level. After Transcendental came the Saint! They were more powerful than Transcendental beings and possessed much longer lifespans. Such powerhouses were very, very rare across the entire continent. Each one could establish a formidable faction, and if they joined a nation, they could easily become a high-ranking figure within it. Establishing an ancient family that lasted for thousands or tens of thousands of years was not a problem.

After the Saint came the Great Emperor, as passed down through ancient legends!

Great Emperor! Legend had it that they possessed invincible strength! Absolute invincibility! Sweeping away everything! No matter the organization, faction, or powerhouse! Before an invincible Great Emperor, all had to bow and submit, or else they would be destroyed!

This was the supreme being of the world!!!

It was rumored that the strength of a Great Emperor was such that they could destroy the entire world with their own power!

It was also very, very difficult for a Great Emperor to be born. It took an incredibly long time for one to appear; a Great Emperor was born only once every hundred thousand years!

And even a Great Emperor had a limit to their lifespan.

Thousands of years had passed since the fall of the last Great Emperor. Because the once-unified power had long since split into various national factions following the fall of the previous Great Emperor, a chaotic landscape had formed.

"Transcendental? Saint? Great Emperor?" Su Ke muttered as he looked at this data.
