Chapter 316 / Chapter 317

This enormous Ion Shark is not merely Beast; its two eyes, as large as footballs, gleam with the light of courage, accompanied by a hint of wisdom.

Although he didn't know what the Ion Shark understood, Su Chen had a hunch that the huge Ion Shark in front of him knew far more than those bunch of Green Lantern Corps fools.

"What you're trying to say is very clear, and you certainly have the ability to do so."

That slightly hard yet gentle will continued to appear in Su Chen's sea of consciousness.

"Conquering the universe and protecting the universe are not contradictory. The Green Lantern Corps' original intention was to protect a universe. Moreover, for the Green Lantern Corps, this may be a new beginning, or perhaps not."

The Ion Shark seemed to possess its own thoughts.

"Joining the Green Lantern Corps makes you a member of the Green Lantern Corps, but you are also a member of the entire Green Lantern Corps."

As the saying this was mentioned, a sly glint flashed in the eyes of the enormous Ion Shark.

When the concept is subtly altered, Su Chen wants to control this Green Lantern Corps for his own use, then in a sense, he is also a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

In this way, it neither violates the concept of the Law Light Legion, nor does it violate the obsession of this Ion Shark.

"That's an interesting way of putting it."

Hearing the slightly cunning explanation from the Ion Shark, the hint of dissatisfaction on Su Chen's face finally disappeared, replaced by a look of great interest as he examined the rather intelligent Ion Shark in front of him.

"I have many questions about the Green Lantern Corps, and I originally wanted to get the answers from these Green Lantern Corps, but it seems they are not cooperating. Perhaps you can tell me all of this."

Su Chen stared intently at the Ion Shark in front of him.

"Actually, it's very simple for you to know. It all started with the Green Lantern Corps, and it also ended with the demise of a part of the Green Lantern Corps..."

This Ion Shark made no attempt to hide anything about it.

"There's no need to rush to discuss this matter."

As the Ion Shark continued its rambling tale, seemingly poised to launch into a long story, Su Chen suddenly reached out and interrupted its narrative.

"I think the most urgent thing right now is to deal with this bunch of dazed guys."

Su Chen looked around at the Green Lantern Corps members surrounding him, who appeared somewhat dazed...

After all, what was happening before them was beyond their comprehension.

It is already extremely rare for Ion Shark to appear in front of them.

The fact that the Ion Shark was talking to the person in front of it was even more unexpected for them.

This was something they had never experienced before, a glory they had never enjoyed before.

"Simple."

The Ion Shark simply nodded in response.

Immediately afterwards, the giant Ion Shark nimbly swam around again, turning itself back to face the group of Su Chen Green Lantern Corps members.

"Cease fire, all personnel return to the assembly point!"

Unlike the slightly gentler will he showed when facing Su Chen, this time an incomparably powerful and irresistible consciousness instantly transmitted into the consciousness of all members of the Green Lantern Corps!

Upon receiving this unexpected order, some members of the Green Lantern Corps hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed without hesitation, quickly turning around and transforming into streaks of light as they sped towards the assembly point.

"This..."

However, some members still couldn't accept this sudden change.

"It seems your people don't really listen to you."

Seeing the Green Lantern Corps members still hesitating, Su Chen smiled.

"They're not my men, they're just the Green Lantern Corps, nothing more. They'll do it."

"Ion Shark said in a deep voice."

As expected, the Green Lantern Corps members who were still hesitating, after a moment's hesitation, finally gritted their teeth and followed the main force that had already returned, heading back to the rendezvous point.

"It's alright, at least this problem is solved now. So let's talk about your situation, or rather, about the Green Lantern Corps."

Looking at this group of members, who ultimately followed the will of the Ion Shark, Su Chen nodded gently.

At the same time, Su Chen turned his attention back to the Ion Shark.

"This is a long story..."

The Ion Shark has now taken another lap, seemingly thoroughly enjoying its cosmic journey.

Chapter 316

"To explain the Green Lantern Corps, I think we need to start from the very beginning."

This long, Ion Shark seemed lost in memories.

The Green Lantern Corps relies on the power of the Green Lantern.

However, this green energy actually represents only one of the seven emotional energies possessed by life.

That is, the energy of courage and will.

This energy, along with other emotional energies, constitutes all life in the universe.

Together with other beings, they constructed the universe we live in today!

"You're not talking about the Infinity Stones, are you?"

Listening to the explanation of the Ion Shark from the beginning, Su Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Besides those six incredibly powerful gems, what else can compare to the seven emotional energies?"

There was a hint of pride in Ion Shark's answer.

Seven different emotional energies and six Infinity Stones together construct this vast universe.

It is precisely for this reason that the universe designated as Universe 1 is slightly different from the other universes.

The total amount he possesses is far greater, and the individual organisms within the 12 universes are far more powerful than those in other universes!

"I think you already have a general understanding of this matter, and what I'm about to say is about the Green Lantern Corps..."

Ion Shark continued speaking.

These seven powerful emotional energies create Emotional Spectrum, divided into seven different colors, which in turn produce seven different lights.

These seven colored lights represent their own energy and nurture their own unique consciousness. Their incarnation is called the Lamp Hand, just as the energy of will and courage is embodied in this Ion Shark. The other six different abilities also have their own incarnations.

However, these Legion were not constructed from these avatars.

"To be precise, these Legion already existed when we developed our own consciousness; they were forged by a group of far more powerful beings..."

At this point, a look of seriousness flashed across Ion Shark's face.

The power of will created the Green Lantern Corps, while the other six different emotional abilities also created different Legion, but the principles behind their creation are roughly similar.

A group of individuals known as the Guardians of the Universe created the technology to gather energy and forge rings, and with this, they created the Green Lantern Corps.

Although other emotion-based energies also have their own Legion, their techniques for forging rings and collecting energy are all based on the Green Lantern's techniques.

"This is why, although the Green Lantern Corps often possesses rings, they themselves cannot control some of the rings' functions, because these rings were not forged by them; the entire Legion itself was created."

For some reason, a hint of mockery flashed across Ion Shark when he got to this point.

As for Su Chen, he seemed to be deep in thought about what the Ion Shark had said.

"Why does this so-called Guardians sound so familiar?"

Su Chen vaguely felt that he had heard a similar concept before, but perhaps because the memory was too weak, Su Chen could not recall where it came from.

"Only the Guardians can hold all the secrets."

Ion Shark continued to explain.

"Their creation of the Green Lantern Corps, and their protection of a universe alongside other Legion, doesn't conflict with our own goals, so we agreed to let the Guardians use our power to create these Legion."

At this point, Ion Shark's voice seemed to suddenly become deeper.

"But soon, some things I didn't like happened..."

When the Green Lantern Corps was first created, because the Guardians themselves focused on order, the Green Lantern Corps did not generate power by wearing rings.

"To enhance their combat capabilities, the Guardians once modified some powerful elites within the Green Lantern Corps, fusing them with Green Lantern energy. They did become more powerful, but they also turned into robots."

At this point, Su Chen could clearly detect a hint of dissatisfaction in the Ion Shark's expression.

The exceptional individuals who were transformed into robots did indeed unleash greater power, but this contradicted the very essence of the Ion Shark.

Willpower and courage are never rigid, cold, or ruthless; in a sense, willpower also means freedom. And yet, at this moment, those outstanding individuals have been deprived of their freedom, even stripped of a part of their own existence...

"When they lose themselves, they become controlled by that very power, but in reality, they are no longer worthy of possessing that power."

Ion Shark's voice had become somewhat harsh.

Su Chen nodded slightly in response.

When concepts clash, cracks inevitably appear. Clearly, from that time onward, the Ion Shark, a Lantern Entity born from all will and courage, had developed a somewhat unpleasant relationship with the Guardians who created the Green Lantern Corps.

"A group of outstanding individuals refused to be transformed, and thus broke away from the Green Lantern Corps, creating another Blue Lantern Corps."

As he said this, a hint of regret crept into Ion Shark's voice.

"If it weren't for a major upheaval that occurred before, perhaps all the leaders of the entire Green Lantern Corps would be these damned robots now."

As he spoke, Ion Shark re-examined Su Chen in front of him.

"I don't like things being this way, but I couldn't find a way to change it until you came along and gave me a glimmer of hope."

At this point, the Ion Shark's eyes suddenly became bright and alert.

"You come from another universe, possessing boundless possibilities, and you are incredibly powerful. Perhaps you have a way to change all of this!"

Ion Shark spoke up somewhat impatiently.

"I think I understand what you're trying to say."

Su Chen nodded.

"You're using the excuse of telling me about the history of the Legion, and your own history, to ask me for help, isn't that right?"

Su Chen spoke calmly.

The Ion Shark answered this question with silence.

"I don't really enjoy helping others, because sometimes it doesn't serve any purpose for me."

Su Chen spoke to himself.

"But I also don't like having a bunch of self-important guys messing around with me, especially in a universe I'm supposed to control!"

Chapter 317

"This is far more interesting than I imagined."

Back on Earth, Su Chen spoke thoughtfully to Emma Frost.

Emma Frost, standing next to her, was grinning from ear to ear.

"This..."

This thought, which had never crossed her mind before, left Emma Frost momentarily stunned.

"Universe 1 is larger than we imagined; if we were to use a specific size description, it would be about half the size of our own universe."

Su Chen spoke calmly, with countless documents laid out in front of him.

After communicating with the Ion Shark and reaching a certain agreement, the Ion Shark returned to its roots.

After all, if he were to leave that place for too long, his own existence would be continuously weakened. Not to mention, the extremely risky plan he had suddenly prepared because of Su Chen's appearance would also be discovered by some people he didn't want to see.

However, what he wanted to express was very clear, and Su Chen's response was equally clear.

"Most of the data that can be collected on Earth is familiar to us. For example, there is also a Xandar in this world, and there is also Nova Corps..."

Su Chen's finger lightly tapped on one of the documents.

"This shows that this universe has similarities to our own, but there are also many completely different aspects."
