Super God: I simulated the heavens and was broadcast live in public

Chapter 268 Both are indispensable
"Because I have seen the future."

Fragments of shattered spacetime appeared in Yunming's palm, reflecting the tragic scene of Lieyang Star being devoured by black matter. "Three thousand years later, void creatures tore open the dimensional barrier, and the first to be devoured was the Lieyang civilization, which thought itself powerful."

Pan Zhen's wings trembled slightly, his voice filled with disbelief: "This is impossible... Our Sun God Core is enough to defend against any external enemy!"

"It can withstand conventional civilization."

Yun Ming flicked a void particle with his finger, and the particle exploded into a ghostly blue lightning in mid-air. "But when faced with void creatures that can tamper with the laws of physics, your so-called ultimate weapon is nothing more than a firecracker in a child's hand."

Di Hongkun stared at the fragment of spacetime for a long time before speaking: "Even if what you say is true, why choose He Xi? My Lieyang Star also has top scholars who study the knowledge of the Heavenly King."

"Because only He Xi has mastered the core algorithm of 'dimensional folding'."

Yunming's voice suddenly became low and deep, "Before she committed suicide, she poured half of her knowledge into the Holy Energy Crystal."

To activate the 'Noah's Ark's Plan against the Void, both are indispensable.

Pan Zhen suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with madness: "Your Majesty, this is entirely his side of the story! If such a plan truly exists, why have we never received any information about it?"

"Because the key to launching the plan is in my hands."

Yunming opened his palm, and a black cube inlaid with angelic runes slowly rose up. "This is the 'Star Map Key' that He Xi left me. Only by combining it with the Holy Energy Crystal can the full picture of the Noah Project be unlocked."

Di Hongkun's gaze was piercing as he stared intently at the cube: "Even if what you say is true, how can I guarantee that you won't take the Holy Energy Crystal and never return?"

"I swear in the name of Yunming."

Yunming's energy condensed into chains, which wrapped around his neck. "If I break the agreement, these shackles formed from dark matter will immediately shatter my divine body."

Pan Zhen was about to retort when Di Hongkun raised his hand to signal him to be quiet.

His Majesty the Emperor's gaze shifted back and forth between Yun Ming and the projection of the Holy Energy Crystal, and finally he sighed, "Pan Zhen, bring the Holy Energy Crystal."

If what he says is true, this might be a glimmer of hope for the Lieyang civilization… But Yunming, if you dare to deceive me, the wrath of Lieyang will be more terrifying than a supernova explosion.”

Yun Ming nodded slightly, but at that moment, a golden beam of light suddenly pierced through the palace dome, blasting a large hole in the storage place of the Holy Energy Crystal.

A mysterious masked figure descended from the void, wielding a scepter that emitted an eerie light: "Want the Holy Energy Crystal? You'll have to get past me, the Void Overseer, first!"

Pan Zhen launched the first attack, and the solar flare transformed into a giant python that pounced on the inspector.

But then the other party lightly tapped his scepter, and the giant python collapsed into a black hole the instant it made contact: "Laughable descendants of the sun god, your power is nothing but child's play before the laws of the void."

Yun Ming's eyes narrowed, and energy chains instantly wrapped around the Inspector: "So the void creatures have already infiltrated Lieyang Star. It seems I didn't arrive early enough."

A mechanical laugh came from behind the inspector's mask: "Yunming, do you think you and Lieyang, these ants, can stop the Void from descending? Hexi's knowledge will eventually become our nourishment!"

Di Hongkun's body surged with star patterns, and the defensive systems around the palace were all activated: "The Blazing Sun Star is not to be trifled with! Stop him!"

In the midst of the chaos, Yunming seized an opportunity and rushed towards the location where the Holy Energy Crystal was stored.

Suddenly, the Inspector abandoned everyone else, pointing his scepter directly at the star map key in Yun Ming's hand: "Hand it over!"

Yun Ming dodged the fatal blow by sidestepping, and the energy chains wrapped around his opponent's ankle: "Want the key? You'll have to get past me first!"

"Unbelievable!"

The Overseer brandished his scepter, and space began to distort into a vortex. "Feel it," he said, "this is the true power of the void!"

Di Hongkun suddenly appeared behind Yun Ming, his star map transforming into a shield to block the vortex: "Yun Ming, go get the Holy Energy Crystal! Leave this to me!"

Yunming was slightly taken aback, then rushed towards the secret chamber where the crystal was stored.

Morgana's lips curled into a mocking smile, and dark purple energy swirled around her like a venomous snake: "Pan Zhen, before the wings of an angel had even fully grown, I was already sitting on the throne of Holy Keisha."

Now, half of the high-ranking angels in Angel City bow to me.

Dark matter spikes materialized at her fingertips, tracing a faint streak of light in the void. "Tell me," she said, "am I qualified?"

"Qualifications are not earned through mere words."

Behind Pan Zhen, the Blazing Sun warship fleet suddenly lit up its main gun array, crimson beams piercing through the clouds and casting spiderweb-like cracks on the ground. "The treasure that guards the Blazing Sun Star, how can it be taken away with just a few empty words?"

Yunming's Chaos Armor rippled with golden light, and the twelve star rings on his back slowly rotated, distorting the surrounding space: "Further words are useless."

I must take the crystal with me today, and if anyone tries to stop me—”

An annihilation sphere appeared in his palm. "I don't mind reshaping the landscape of this planet."

Di Hongkun was engulfed in flames hundreds of feet high, transforming into a phantom of an ancient war god with three heads and six arms. His lava-like eyes stared at Yun Ming: "You think Lieyang Star is a place for you to run wild? Look at your feet!"

Before the words were even finished, the entire land suddenly split into countless floating platforms, each rock covered with mysterious runes, bursting forth with temperatures high enough to melt even a god's body.

"enough!"

Morgana suddenly teleported in front of Yun Ming, her six wings unfurling, each feather flowing with dark matter light. "Di Hongkun, do you really think Yun Ming is fighting alone?"

With a wave of her hand, dozens of spatial wormholes opened in the void, and the mechanical war cries of the demon legion were deafening. "Don't forget, Yunming and I have a deal."

Pan Zhen frowned slightly and looked at Di Hongkun: "Your Majesty, the demon and Yun Ming have joined forces, I'm afraid we..."

"shut up!"

Di Hongkun's fiery armor shattered, revealing his true form covered in ancient totems. "Even if we fight to the last man, we cannot let the Holy Energy Crystal fall into the wrong hands!"

He reached out and grasped, and ten thousand beams of light descended from the sky, condensing into a gigantic image of a blazing sun above everyone's heads.

Yun Ming suddenly withdrew his attack stance and glanced at the golden badge on Di Hongkun's chest: "Di Hongkun, do you know the true origin of this Blazing Sun Holy Badge?"

Seeing the other person's eyes flicker slightly, he continued, "Thirty thousand years ago, the Lieyang civilization was on the verge of extinction. It was He Xi who led the Angel Legion to rescue it and used the Holy Energy Crystal to reshape the core of Lieyang Star."

Now, you're going to watch your savior die in the void rift?

Di Hongkun's blazing sun avatar trembled violently, as if an invisible hand had gripped his throat: "This...this is impossible! In the historical records of Lieyang Star, there has never been..."

"Because some people don't want you to know."

Yun Ming flicked his finger, and a ball of memory light entered Di Hongkun's brow.

In the scene, the young He Xi is clad in dazzling light armor, embedding a holy energy crystal that emits a soft glow into the core of the blazing sun star, with a planet riddled with holes by void creatures behind her.

Pan Zhen's expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward: "Your Majesty, these must be memories they forged!"

"Forgery?"

Yun Ming sneered, and the same claw marks of the void creatures that appeared on the Chaos Armor as in his memory appeared. "These wounds are what I left when I retrieved He Xi's remains from the void rift."

"Right now, her divine core is still disintegrating." He opened his palm, a wisp of silver energy shimmering with a faint light slowly flowing through it. "This is He Xi's last bit of primordial power; it can sustain her for three more days."

Di Hongkun's flames gradually died down, and the totem patterns dimmed: "Why...why has no one ever told me this?"

Morgana spoke up at the right moment: "Because some 'Guardians' are afraid that the Sun Star will become entangled with the Angel race and lose control."

She gave Pan Zhen a meaningful look; his muscles were tense, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed the energy blade at his waist.

"Even so."

Di Hongkun took a deep breath, "Once the Holy Energy Crystal is removed, the stability of the Lieyang Star's core will be broken, and the planet may face..."

"I'll stabilize the core."

Yun Ming raised his hand and summoned the Chaos Codex. As the pages turned, countless golden runes floated toward the core of the planet. "The Chaos Law and the Holy Energy Crystal share the same origin, which is enough to maintain the planet's operation."

Pan Zhen suddenly sprang into action, his energy blade aimed straight for Yun Ming's throat: "Don't even think about succeeding! The fate of Lieyang Star is none of the business of outsiders!"

Yun Ming didn't even turn around. A chaotic chain shot out from the ground and instantly bound Pan Zhen like a dumpling: "Di Hongkun, is this the attitude of your subordinates?"

"Pan Zhen, step back!"

Di Hongkun stared at the power of He Xi's origin in Yun Ming's hand, his eyes changing several times before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "I can give you the crystal, but I want to personally supervise the rescue process and also have the Angel Clan sign a sacred pact."

Morgana spoke first: "Deal! I'll contact Angel City right now."

She traced her fingertips across the void, projecting the image of the angel Yan. "Yan, prepare the contract artifact. We have a big deal to make."

Angel Yan appeared in the projection wearing brand-new silver armor, with a neatly arranged legion of angels behind her: "Morgana, you'd better not try anything funny."

"Your Majesty, in the name of the Angel King, I promise that if He Xi is rescued, the Angel Clan will forge a permanent alliance with Lieyang Star."

Di Hongkun took out the Holy Energy Crystal from his chest. The light flowing on the surface of the crystal seemed to be alive as it wrapped around his arm: "If this crystal leaves the planet for more than twelve hours, the Lieyang Star will begin to collapse."

Yunming, I hope you won't make me regret this.

Yunming took the crystal, and the Chaos Codex automatically enveloped it: "I will return with Hexi in eight hours at most."

He turned to Morgana and said, "Teleport coordinates."

"and many more!"

Pan Zhen suddenly shouted, "I want to go with you."

"The treasure of Lieyang Star, I must see it return with my own eyes."

Morgana raised an eyebrow: "Okay, but you have to behave."

She waved her hand, opening a spatial wormhole. From within the dark vortex came a chilling whisper from the void, "Let's go, He Xi's time is running out."

The moment everyone stepped into the wormhole, Di Hongkun looked at the memory of He Xi's rescue in his hand and murmured to himself, "So we owe the angels so much..."

He turned to look at the core of the blazing sun, where the chaotic runes left by Yunming were operating in an orderly manner. "This time, I must repay this kindness no matter what."

At the other end of the wormhole, before a void rift filled with purple mist, Yunming gripped the Holy Energy Crystal tightly: "Yan, prepare to provide backup."

Morgana, open the passage.

Pan Zhen, you're in charge of covering the rear.

"What conditions?"

Yunming's pupils contracted slightly, and his fingertips unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the Void Divine Martial Sword at his waist.

Inside the gilded palace, the candlelight flickered suddenly, and the phantom of demonic wings flashed past Morgana's back, while the barbs at the end of her tailbone dragged on the ground with a screeching sound.

The white-haired elder behind Di Hongkun stepped forward, the star pattern on his black robe glowing faintly: "Lieyang Star can lend the 'Star Core Reincarnation Instrument', but the two of you must promise that after reviving He Xi, she must stay as a guest elder of Lieyang Star for three hundred years."

"absurd!"

Pan Zhen slammed his fist on the pillar, and the granite surface instantly cracked like a spider web. "He Xi is a contender for the throne of angels, how can she be relegated to the position of a mere guest minister?"

As he turned, his golden boots crushed a pile of pebbles. "Clearly, you want to use the power of angels to counterbalance them. Di Hongkun, your plan is too shrewd!"

Morgana suddenly chuckled, and the dark energy gathered at her fingertips transformed into a crimson rose, which she tossed into the air: "Three hundred years? The lifespan measurement unit of Lieyang Star is quite interesting."

However, Elder, are you aware that if He Xi's treasure trove of knowledge could be shared with the Lieyang Civilization, let alone three hundred years, even if a thousand-year symbiotic contract were signed..."

Her voice rose at the end, and the rose exploded into powder on Pan Zhen's nose. "Some stubborn fools are probably going to be so angry they'll chew their teeth to dust."

Yunming noticed that Di Hongkun's fingertips trembled slightly inside his sleeve; it was the sound of "deliberation" in Lieyang language.

The gesture.

He took half a step forward, and the Divine Martial Sword roared as it was drawn three inches from its sheath: "I swear in the name of the power of the Milky Way that if He Xi refuses to stay after her resurrection, I am willing to offer my own divine body as collateral to eternally imprison the dungeon of the Blazing Sun Star."

Before he could finish speaking, Morgana suddenly grabbed his wrist, demonic energy surging into his meridians through the point of contact: "Are you crazy? Keisha is still waiting to use your Void Gene to reconstruct the Holy Body!"

When did Queen Morgana become so soft-hearted?

Pan Zhen sneered, but fell silent when he saw the cold glint in Yun Ming's eyes.

Suddenly, a muffled thud came from outside the hall as a meteorite struck the protective shield. Everyone looked up at the dome and saw the outline of the Taotie Legion's giant whale warships vaguely emerging from the blood-red clouds.

"It's Karl's signal."

Morgana licked her lips, and demonic energy condensed into a dark blue ball in her palm. "He calculated the council's meeting cycle accurately."

Yunming, your oath should include a clause—if Lieyang Star is invaded by foreign enemies during this period, we must unite to defend it.

She suddenly swung her arm, and a ball of light pierced through the dome, shattering a main gun ship that was charging up. "Like right now."

Twenty-four star-track chains flew out from Di Hongkun's sleeve, weaving into a defensive matrix in the air: "Pan Zhen! Activate 'Blazing Sun Furnace'! The Elders Council will follow me to activate the Star Core Resonance!"

He turned to look at Yun Ming, his gaze lingering on the Divine Martial Sword. "Mr. Yun, Queen Morgana, if we win this battle, how about we change the condition to He Xi staying for a hundred years?"

"century?"

Yunming slashed a void rift that had come from nowhere with his sword, the angelic fire leaping on the blade burning the dark energy into wisps of smoke. "Let's survive tonight first!"

He suddenly saw his reflection in Morgana's pupils—a fine crack had appeared at the corner of her left eye, from which pale golden energy was seeping out.
