Chapter 855 Desolate City
night.

The Celestial Mars Corps and the Homeland Security Committee issued a conscription order to Emerald Star, while the Inquisition approved the two Demon Grand Dukes' kills, exempting Emerald Star from taxes for the next two years.

Inside the Emerald Palace, Lilith disappeared.

Jiang He leaned against a pillar in front of the palace, her eyes calm.

In some ways, Lilith is a combination of gentleness and wildness, like a seasoned rider who can control a wild horse and is used to taking the lead. In contrast, Si Ning's mentality tends to be more playful, while Zhuang Ya is undoubtedly more dependent. Although the two did not develop to the final stage, Jiang He can still get a glimpse of the whole picture.

And the future of the Gods in their previous life.

She has the mindset of a naive young girlfriend, allowing any request and refusing any kind of play, wishing she could give herself completely, which could even be described as somewhat pathological.

As for the living dead Pei Qinghan, his body is the most standard Great Immortal Pig form, that's undisputed.

Empress Ji You of the Great Zhou Dynasty...

Jiang He stopped thinking, got up fully clothed, and thought Ji You was nothing more than a beast, only caring about venting his own anger. The day he left for the depths of the Great Wilderness, Yuwang City almost set off a cacophony of firecrackers.

"Old Hei."

"I'm here."

Jiang He, using his Hunter-exclusive ability, Animal Companion, said, "The Tianhuo Star Crew will be completely overrun by April next year. According to the information from the Chosen One, I estimate that the Desolate War Star will be in trouble by the end of the year at the latest. We have three months left to sell Rhine Company as soon as possible."

The term "sale" is just a general statement.

The group sold off assets such as factories, shops, and buildings; gained control of subsidiaries in the spice, jewelry, beauty, agriculture, and tourism industries; cashed out a large amount of the group's stock; and then borrowed as much as possible from Tianhuo Bank, converting all of the Rhine Star Trade Group's accumulated assets to cash.

Imperial Star Coins are made from empty crystals.

This crystal is the most basic energy source for interstellar travel and a necessary guarantee for achieving dark plane jumps; the anchor point is quite stable.

Do you think the Tianxing Star Clan will be defeated?

"At least that's the future that the chosen one knows."

Jiang He said helplessly, "If a mythical being attacks, I really don't have a very effective way to deal with it right now."

The Soul Fire Meditation Method records that there are six essential elements to ascending to godhood.

Divine Fire: The sublimation of the soul and will.

Theocracy: the deification of authority.

Divinity/Clericity: When wielding divine authority, one conforms to the corresponding symbols and thus draws special power from the outside world, similar to the marrow of an ordinary person. The amount of divinity determines the advancement of life in the mythological era.

Divine Body: The body of the mythological era.

Divine power: Energy from the mythological era.

There is a vast difference between mythical beings and lower-level beings. Jiang He estimates that he needs to return to the throne of the legendary era to be qualified to hunt ordinary mythical beings. This stage is a crucial midpoint on the path to transcendence.

Legendary powers can retreat safely from the hands of sub-mythical forces.

A legendary overlord, capable of easily defeating even a near-mythical being.

"Looks like they're going to wipe them all out at once, then what's the point of playing?"

The moment I saw the main quest description.

Jiang He immediately ordered the initiation of Project Wandering Emerald Star.

He plans to transform Emerald Star into a planetary-level warship, powered by the Heart of the Demon, which, with its advancement, can now be infused with one million units of legendary energy.

……

Within three days of the conscription order being issued.

Jiang He did not rush to set off for the desolate star.

On the first day, Jiang He forged a spatial alchemy matrix on the outer perimeter of Emerald Star. This matrix served as both a defense and a ship's hull. Combined with the planetary magic warning system of the Gods' Attendants, this matrix was collectively known as the "Emerald Defense Project," which reached a sub-mythical level overall.

The next day, Jiang He and Lao Hei built steel nests across the entire surface of Emerald Star. Plains, hills, and mountains all disappeared, and the Emerald World was divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower. The Emerald Palace stood independently in the sky, housing a total of tens of billions of beings. On the third day, the "Planetary Thruster" project was completed. Centered around more than 100,000 spatial alchemy matrices, it used the burning of empty crystals for spatial teleportation. Given Jiang He's spatial authority and alchemy skills, each jump to Emerald Star only required a trillion star coins.

In the fields of support and production, Jiang He's value actually subtly surpasses his combat strength.

The devil's factory continues to process.

The Chaodu Forest is constantly being mined.

The Rhine Star Trade Consortium frantically sold off its assets, saving half of the funds to purchase Jiang He's cultivation resources and the other half to buy various technologies and raw materials, striving to maintain independent operation even after separating from the star cluster.

Despite publicly declaring that Emerald Star is prepared to fight to the death.

However, some people realized that Jiang He was planning to run away.

"Rhine, you must come to the desolate planet immediately."

Francis used the Galactic Citizen Communicator to project a message and said heavily, "Little Niat has stirred up some people who are speaking ill of you to the Skyfire King. My brother has a bad temper and is not easy to talk to."

"Also, never underestimate the Myth Lord."

Jiang He remained noncommittal.

Because of the Gem Princess, he could even say that he knew more about the current situation of the royal family than Francis. At the Northern Frontier Lords' Conference, it was pointed out that the Tianhuo Star Cluster was one of the ten regions where a Star God had been confirmed to be sleeping, but the specific details were unclear.

The empire could not provide much support.

A recent lavish feast erupted in the capital of the ancestral star, with many powerful figures and high-ranking officials falling into depravity and becoming devotees of lust. Furthermore, a rebellion by different races has broken out in the southern borderlands, with hundreds of races that have suffered from the empire's oppression forming an alliance. The once-extinct world of gods seems to be showing signs of resurgence, with multiple deities participating in the conflict.

The Galactic Empire is too vast.

The accumulated historical problems are countless.

As long as the Four Pillars of Deity are willing, they can always find a breakthrough.

The sheer number of the four seventh-tier rulers already exerted immense pressure on humanity. In the prophecies of all prophetic mages, the destruction of the Galactic Empire was only a matter of time, a conclusion that was widely agreed upon.

Contact ended.

Jiang He selected one hundred Evil Legion commanders and sent them to the desolate planet aboard a legendary battleship.

One hundred sub-legendary beings, focusing on quality, actually exceeded the planetary governor's military requirements.

The four team members each had their own responsibilities.

After two days of space travel, the battleship Nest City arrived at the desolate planet. This time, the Emerald Governor no longer needs to guard the Death Canyon.

A desolate city.

This is the only modern human city on the desolate planet. Standing on the high-rise building, you can see the blood-red plains directly in front of you. Fortresses stand tall on the ground. The desolate city is the rear base camp. Countless caravans come and go, transporting resources and supplies.

Its overall shape resembles a giant bowl-shaped structure embedded in the earth's surface. The "bowl walls" are made up of a matrix energy shield that is thousands of meters high, and the walls are lined with turrets that watch over the endless desolation outside.

The "bottom of the bowl" is the core area of ​​the city. While relatively safe, it is full of prosperity, with skyscrapers densely packed together. The buildings are covered with high-strength glass curtain walls that can simulate normal blue skies and white clouds. Huge holographic advertisements are interwoven in the sky above the streets, promoting the latest weapons, bionic prosthetics, and dream games from arms companies.

The most eye-catching place in the entire city is Tianhuo Square.

It is formed by transparent skywalks connecting the buildings, where fashionable women, officers of the main legion, and some family members often linger, and nightclubs are everywhere.

At the same time, Skyfire Plaza is also responsible for the take-off and landing of starships.

When the battleship Nest arrived at the plaza, the Jewel Princess, dressed in a white wedding gown, had been waiting for a long time. Holding bright red flowers, she took the initiative to walk up to Jiang He the moment she saw him.

"Please marry me, senior."

Jiang He: "???"

The term "senior" is used to refer to someone who is a senior or senior colleague.

It made him feel as if he had returned to post-apocalyptic Tokyo.
