Becoming the Lord God from Devouring

Chapter 148: Widespread Imprisonment, Mission Completion Rate 79%
"The Zerg's Soul Golem!"

When Wu Hao shouted those words, the entire Ministry of Commerce fell into a chilling silence. Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Even the Marquis of Youyin was sweating profusely at this moment, and dared not utter a single word.

"Youhai, are there any other Zerg spies in the Ministry of Commerce?!"

When Wu Hao asked that question, everyone saw You Hai's blank expression. His empty eyes clearly indicated that he had been mentally controlled and had become a slave to the soul.

Just then, a lord from the Commerce Department secretly retreated, seemingly preparing to flee the area.

However, the instant he took a step, Wu Hao moved instantly. He drew his Divine Light Sword and unleashed the eighth level of the Myriad Swords United, striking the Realm Lord.

This seventh-level Realm Lord was killed by Wu Hao with a single strike before he could even utter a word.

This terrifying combat power instantly stunned everyone around, even making Youyin Hou's eyes widen.

The higher the level of martial arts cultivation, the greater the gap becomes.

The basic strength of a ninth-level Domain Lord is more than a hundred times weaker than that of a seventh-level World Lord, yet he was instantly killed with a single strike.

After killing a realm lord, Wu Hao didn't even blink: "From now on, all Ministry of Commerce personnel are prohibited from leaving the scene. Anyone who disobeys will face the consequences!"

After Wu Hao finished speaking, he once again asked You Hai to identify the traitor within the Zerg. Under You Hai's guidance, Wu Hao killed dozens of staff members at the level of Realm Lord to Domain Lord in the Ministry of Commerce, directly purging one-tenth of the entire Ministry of Commerce's senior management.

Looking at the number of traitors within the Ministry of Commerce, even without Wu Hao saying anything, cold sweat never stopped on the forehead of the Marquis of Youyin.

Looking at his former colleague, Wu Hao's eyes gradually turned cold as he said, "Youyin, don't you have anything to say? Under your management, so many alien spies have appeared in the Ministry of Commerce. Just how much information about the Golden Lan Universe Kingdom will they betray, and how much information about my Virtual Universe Company will they betray!"

"After I leave, go to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company to give your report. I suggest that the work of the Commerce Department be temporarily taken over by Marquis Manxing. Your Commerce Department should wait for the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company to assign personnel and positions!"

As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, he grabbed You Hai and rushed out of the Ministry of Commerce hall, flying towards the outside. The Nine Nether Clan had more than just this one high-ranking member; the other twenty people were waiting for Wu Hao to capture them.

On the entire Shangbu planet, there were a total of 15 high-ranking members of the Jiuyou clan. Wu Hao captured them all, enslaved their souls, and made them identify their partners based on their memories.

The repercussions affected hundreds of people, and Wu Hao even learned about the Zerg Immortal who had previously tried to assassinate him.

It turns out that the Zerg Queen who came to assassinate Wu Hao was actually from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. After her arrival, she took over all the work of the Jinlan Universe Kingdom.

In order to assassinate Wu Hao, he even exposed the network of relationships of the Zerg Immortal organization in the Jinlan Universe Kingdom, which made the Zerg Immortal who was infiltrating the Jinlan Universe Kingdom very dissatisfied.

This is also why Wu Hao was able to easily seize control of Youhai from him.

Of course, all of the above are speculations made by Wu Hao based on existing information, and may not necessarily be the whole truth.

After leaving the planet Shangbu, Wu Hao quickly headed to the area where the remaining personnel were located.

Because the arrest operation was swift, Wu Hao also blocked communications in the virtual universe. The remaining five people received no information at all and were quickly apprehended.

Next came the soul servants of these people. Just as Wu Hao had predicted, some of the soul servants he saw within the Nine Nether Clan were indeed made by these twenty-one people.

Through the efforts of these twenty-one individuals, they enslaved almost all the key high-ranking members of the Nine Nether Clan into soul puppets.

It was precisely because humans were actually enslaving each other's souls that Wu Hao failed to identify any alien spies during his first screening.

"Since the key figures have all become soul puppets, let's kill them all, so that their soul slaves may perish as well!"

Wu Hao once again flew his spaceship to the Nine Nether Star and directly allowed the angels to take over all network control of the entire planet and even the three thousand planets of the Nine Nether Civilization.

"Gentlemen, I am the Inspector of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters! Nearly half of the high-ranking members of the Nine Nether Clan have been turned into soul slaves by alien spies. On behalf of the Virtual Universe Company, I hereby publicly execute twenty-one of your clan's high-ranking members!"

Wu Hao's face appeared before everyone. He took over all video playback channels of the entire Nine Nether Clan, and at this moment, everyone in the Nine Nether Clan could only see his face.

His eyes were icy cold, radiating an extremely strong sense of oppression. "All members of the Nine Nether Clan are not allowed to leave their planets. Otherwise, it will be considered a betrayal of the human race. For traitors, the Virtual Universe Company will completely annihilate them. Members of the Nine Nether Clan must supervise each other and prevent any movement of people."

Then Wu Hao grabbed You Hai from behind, preparing to kill him in public.

Upon seeing this former strongest member of their race, countless members of the Nine Nether Clan felt fear in their eyes. This was the strongest member of the Nine Nether Clan. Could it be that he had truly betrayed humanity, as the person before them claimed?

"Youhai, you instructed the clan's genius, Randy, to be controlled by the alien race, and then had him repeatedly reveal the locations of human geniuses and sell information about our human race's high-ranking members. You yourself have also repeatedly betrayed our human race's information due to being controlled by the alien race. Now I sentence you to death, and I will personally carry it out!"

After Wu Hao finished speaking, he directly controlled Youhai to come in front of the camera, and with a wave of his Divine Light Sword, he severed its head.

In normal humans, the life core is concentrated in the head and cannot be moved at will like that of the Golden Horned Beast.

Youhai is just an ordinary immortal, and does not possess the immortality that only those who are enfeoffed as marquises possess.

After his head was severed, his consciousness vanished instantly, and he was completely killed by Wu Hao.

"Aaaaah!" On the planet of thousands of Nine Nether Clan members, countless people let out miserable howls.

However, they were only horrified by the execution of the strongest member of their tribe; they themselves were not actually harmed.

However, a large number of high-ranking members of the Nine Nether Clan were instantly buried with their master due to the death of his soul.

Wu Hao then executed the remaining high-ranking members of the Nine Nether Clan one by one. The number of those executed as burial victims, namely the twenty-one soul servants, reached several million.

Not only that, but in the following ten days, Wu Hao visited all the families of those high-ranking officials and slaughtered them all.

After all the actions were completed, Wu Hao felt that he had done enough, so he immediately submitted the task for review.

In the virtual universe's Rain Mountain primeval region, at Wu Hao's manor, he sipped a cup of tea, quietly awaiting the higher-ups' decision. Facing this group of people with whom he had no conflict of interest, Wu Hao had already followed his heart and was ready to complete this mission.

Based on the information provided by the Virtual Universe Company, he located the alien spies in the Ministry of Commerce, and even precisely killed all of them. He also wiped out the families of those traitors, eliminating all potential threats at their root.

If the personnel sent by Virtual Universe Company don't give him a high score, Wu Hao will naturally have nothing to say and will accept the decision of the Virtual Universe Company's senior management.

Wu Hao is first and foremost a complete person with the ability to make his own judgments. If you want him to make the right decisions, you must act in accordance with his moral and behavioral standards.

He was not a completely good-natured person, but he was by no means an executioner either. His logic in doing things was to follow his conscience.

Even though Wu Hao was once a reincarnator who ruthlessly destroyed several civilizations, those civilizations ultimately had direct conflicts of interest with him and were stumbling blocks to his survival.

He can stop at nothing to survive, but he absolutely cannot, when in a high position, kill hundreds of billions of innocent people for reasons such as "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

"Master, the email from the Virtual Universe has arrived!" The angel's voice rang out instantly. Wu Hao calmly opened the email and saw the reply from the Virtual Universe Company.

"You have completed the first stage of the highest-scoring task. After evaluation by the members, Wu Hao, your completion rate for the first task is 79%, and you can get 7.9 points. You have lost your qualification for the second stage."

"Comment: The mission itself was for you, Wu Hao, to conduct a trial of the entire Nine Nether Clan, but you doubted the intelligence network of the Virtual Universe Company. Since the Virtual Universe Company issued the mission, it must have verified the accuracy of the intelligence. Given your lack of necessary trust in the company, you were not given a high score in this aspect."

"Secondly, when you captured the traitor, you did not directly take action to suppress him, which gave Youhai the opportunity to self-destruct and destroy the company's business planet in the Jinlan Universe. This oversight almost caused the company great losses."

"In the end, your punishment of the Nine Nether Clan was too lenient. Many people in the Nine Nether Clan knew that there were traitors within their clan, but they chose to conceal it from the human leadership for their own benefit. Your wrong judgment resulted in these people not being punished."

"Considering all factors, we give you a 79% completion rate. We hope you will take this as a warning and not doubt the authenticity of the company's information."

Wu Hao laughed after reading the email. Despite his self-proclaimed ability to think independently, he still couldn't escape the limitations of his own mindset.

However, this is normal. As a young person born under the red flag, it is perfectly normal to question authority, not be afraid of power, and choose to verify the authenticity of the information yourself.

He doesn't need to worry about it, nor does he need to doubt himself.

Once he stands at a high vantage point, gains sufficient power and a broader perspective, and then addresses these current problems, the outcome will definitely be very different.

"It seems that the person who evaluated my mission this time must be an extremely bloodthirsty person, someone who can't tolerate any injustice. I just happened to have gone through a hundred reincarnations, and now the bloodthirstiness in my bones is not so strong anymore."

If it were Wu Hao during his reincarnation period, in order to complete the task issued by the higher-ups of the Virtual Universe Company, he might have shattered that person's wish and slaughtered the entire Nine Nether Clan.

Now that this highest-scoring mission is over, I'll go back to Earth.

Wu Hao remembered that at the end of the first mission, Luo Feng obtained the entire net worth of the Fire Phoenix Group, which was worth a total of 81 billion Hunyuan, more than 800 times his current total assets.

As expected, Wu Hao was not the main character, and his luck could never compare to Luo Feng's.

The next period of time will be spent worrying about making money again, but Wu Hao also has an idea in mind. He will use the resources at his disposal to start his own business.

Unlike Luo Feng, who had a younger brother and wife to help him, Wu Hao didn't have many people he could trust to help him manage his business.

Suddenly, Wu Hao thought of someone: his former progenitor, Xiao.

Ever since Xiao couldn't keep up with Wu Hao's pace, he had never asked him for anything again.

Since Wu Hao didn't have any soul servants, it was perfect to call the other party over to manage his business in the human kingdom.

"Angel, target: Golden Sword Universe Kingdom. I'm going into seclusion for a hundred years, and then I'll apply to go to Chaos City, the Virtual Universe Company, to study!"

"Received!" The Panlong immediately accelerated at full speed, heading towards the location of the Golden Sword Universe Kingdom. "Reporting to Master, our destination is Xinxiang Star. The total travel time is 25 days. We will arrive at our destination in 25 days!"

Wu Hao immediately created a shadow clone and entered a state of cultivation, quietly waiting for the Panlong to continue its journey.

I've been away for over forty years now, and I don't know what the situation is like over there, or whether the total number of immigrants has exceeded ten million.

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye. After returning to Xinxiang Star, Wu Hao was immediately shocked by the changes on his home planet.

As usual, Zhuge Wu led a large group of humans to the interstellar docking port, waiting for Wu Hao's arrival.

As Wu Hao's assistant, Angel had already arranged everything meticulously, especially the grandeur of Wu Hao's travels, which was never lacking.

"Welcome back, Chairman Wu, after you have quelled the rebels!" After Zhuge Wu shouted the slogan, a large group of people below began to shout the same words.

"Welcome back, Chairman Wu, after suppressing the rebels!"

The voices of tens of thousands of people instantly overwhelmed the entire interstellar docking port, giving Wu Hao a shock.

His face instantly lit up with a smile. Wu Hao had worked so hard not only because the Ultraman bloodline needed believers, but also because he loved the heartfelt cheers of the crowd.

With a wave of his hand, Wu Hao instructed Zhuge Wu to disperse the crowd and then let the other party begin reporting on his work.

"President, after you left, Xinxiang Star was sold off. Those foreign interstellar colonists are truly hateful. They actually wiped out the Boon race in one fell swoop, turning them into interstellar slaves and selling them to various parts of the Golden Sword Universe Kingdom." Zhuge Wu said with a crocodile tear, feigning sob. "Those Boon race had lived with us for so many years, and this is how they ended up. If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have sold Xinxiang Star."

Wu Hao looked into Zhuge Wu's eyes. Although the other party made a crying expression, there were no tears in his eyes. Wu Hao could clearly see that he was about to burst into laughter.

"Alright, my original plan for those Boon tribes was to make them a servant race of us humans. I didn't expect that their pampered and unrestrained upbringing would cause them to lose sight of their place. They can't even tolerate a mere fifty-year population limit. Keeping such an ascending civilization around is just a disaster!"

After Wu Hao finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject and asked, "What level have the humans in the Golden Sword Empire reached now? What level can an ordinary person reach after adulthood?"
