“Ai’er, look carefully, you must find the Golden Emperor Beetle!” Silver Hair gritted his teeth fiercely. “As long as we can confirm that Hong Dali is the Star Knight, there’s no need to say anything more. Completely destroy New Earth! Leave not one New Earthling alive!”
“Yes!” Ai’er answered affirmatively and began looking carefully.
She searched for more than two hours. Finally, she found the Golden Emperor Beetle quite a distance away from New Earth!
“I found it!” Ai’er exclaimed, “It... it’s eating an asteroid! It’s almost 1,000 kilometers wide! This is a Golden Emperor Beetle which has just been born!”
The Golden Emperor Beetle was classified into three stages according to its size.
If it was less than 2,000 kilometers, it was considered an infant. At this stage, the Golden Emperor Beetle’s strength was just elementary. Its main attack was to gnaw. It could gnaw anything away.
When it was more than 2,000 kilometers long but less than 10,000, it would be at its adolescence stage. At this stage, it would start to have larger devouring capabilities. So what if it was a Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carrier? It would take just a few mouthfuls to devour one!
By the time it was 12,000 kilometers in size, it would be an adult! At this stage, the Golden Emperor Beetle’s attack would begin to change again. Its final form would depend on the ability gained by the Star Knight it merged with.
For example, 20,000 years ago, a Golden Emperor Beetle gained the ability from what was a very low-level Insect Soul Stone. Despite that, when the Golden Emperor Beetle used its ability to transform, its overall strength increased by a qualitative leap—its size reduced from 12,000 kilometers to 6,000 kilometers.
Although its size was halved, its strength was increased by four times!
At that time, it would be able to cleave a planet into two with just a swipe of its claw!
The war that took place in Theron Star Sector, which was about the same size as Dimu Star Sector, was definitely a disaster in human history!
Theron Star Sector lost 2,500 Stellar-level Space Carriers and suffered more than 30 billion casualties. Its entire military strength suffered unprecedented trauma. In the end, the royal family from Dragon King Astral had to dispatch 12 Stellar-level Space Carriers before they were able to kill the Golden Emperor Beetle.
The weapon on a Star-sector level space carrier was called an antimatter cannon. One shot from this cannon could destroy a star! Armed with weapons like this, they still barely managed to kill the adult Golden Emperor Beetle. And even so, they still lost 7 Star-sector level space carriers.
That was why, when Silver Hair and the others discovered the Golden Emperor Beetle, they were shocked to their marrow.
“A baby Golden Emperor Beetle!” Silver Hair’s eyes lit up. “This is a baby Golden Emperor Beetle! If we manage to kill it, or even better, capture it alive, we will reap unimaginable rewards! The most important thing is that it’s still an infant and is not so powerful yet! With our 300 Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers, we have a good chance of capturing it!”
The Golden Emperor Beetle was super powerful. Correspondingly, if you were able to kill it, the benefits were unimaginable.
Every kilogram of Golden Emperor Beetle flesh eaten could increase all attributes by 1,000 points! All attributes 1,000 points!
What did that mean? A Planet-level would be able to instantly advance to the entry requirements of becoming a Stellar-level!
Most importantly, the upper limit of this requirement was quite high—the upper limit was 10,000 points for all attributes! That meant that 10 kilograms of Golden Emperor Beetle meat would be able to increase all attributes by 10,000 points!
It was no exaggeration to say that with all attributes at 10,000 points, a person could directly reach the pinnacle of a Stellar-level. Just a little more and he could become the most powerful warrior, a Star Warrior!
A Star Warrior was comparable to a Zerg Knight! He would be able to physically enter space and fight in space. He would be extremely strong and his body extremely buff. He could even punch through the outer shell of a Planet-level space carrier with one punch!
Throughout the entire history of the Dragon King Astral, there were only a few Star Warriors.
They were all made by investing an unimaginable amount of financial and material resources—the only way humans were able to create Star Warriors now was to take medicinal herbs. Every Star Warrior was created by countless amounts of the highest grade elixirs in the universe.
Now, a Golden Emperor Beetle had appeared...
Its golden blood was practically able to resurrect the dead. Just a tiny bit would instantly bring a person who had not completely died back to life!
The shell, bones, and, in fact, every part of the Golden Emperor Beetle were treasures. They were treasures that could not necessarily be obtained with riches, and even if someone were willing to pay a high price for it, it may not be obtainable.
Silver Hair and the others coveted the huge rewards it offered.
The Golden Emperor Beetle was right in front of him. It was like a treasure mountain! A real treasure mountain!
Of course, they would have to kill it first.
“F**k, let’s do it!” Silver Hair licked his lips fiercely. “Just for this, we have to fight Hong Dali to the end! Immediately notify headquarters and ask them for reinforcements! It’s best if they can send the Man-made God here! As long as we have him, we will definitely win!”
Man-made God! The second final ultimate battle weapon plan that the High Nobles had been working on for more than 700 years!
The results of this second final ultimate battle weapon plan was the Man-made God that Silver Hair was talking about.
It was unimaginably strong!
“Okay, I will go request for it personally!” Red Wolf nodded immediately and left to notify headquarters.
“Tell the whole fleet to start moving.” Silver Hair clenched his fist tight in excitement. “Our current mission is to hold them back. No matter what, do not let them leave our sight!”
“Yes!” The herald immediately left to convey the order, and 300 Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers started up slowly!
...
On New Earth.
“Woohoo, finally done. Hahaha!” Hong Dali heaved a sigh of relief. He was finally done with the Zerg evolution plan. It was not easy!
“Dali, these units that you designed are so cool!” Tang Muxin looked at the snowman Zergs running around and said with a smile, “Look at them. If we look closely, they are actually quite cute...”
Well, they were only cute in this form. The Zergs evolving out in space were nowhere near as cute...
“Well, you can consider your task complete.” Ji Zining stood up. “I’m going to bed. According to the timeline, the High Nobles will reach and enter New Earth’s star sector in a day and a half. Get ready to fight.”
“Yes, understood!” Hong Dali nodded, then hugged Tang Muxin. “Xinxin, let’s go to sleep, muah!”
Tang Muxin’s face flushed red. She was about to agree when the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief came over. Once they saw Hong Dali, the mysterious man rushed forward and grabbed his arm. “Brat, stay. Leave something behind before you leave!”
The Bureau Chief was grabbing on to his waist. “Boss, you must be fast, this brat is notoriously uncooperative!”
Looking at the actions of the two, Hong Dali had an urge to kill. “What are you doing?! I want to sleep! Sleep! My Xinxin is ready! Ahhhhh!”
Tang Muxin stomped on his foot. “I’m not ready for anything, you big pervert!” Then, she turned and entered the room...
“Okay, okay.” Hong Dali said dejectedly, “Say, what do you want me to leave behind before you will let me go?”
The mysterious man and the Bureau Chief looked at each other and said in unison, “Blood!”
Hong Dali almost jumped out of his skin. “Damn! Are you trying to murder me?!”
“Stop the nonsense!” The mysterious man grabbed Hong Dali’s arm tightly and then pulled out a syringe that was as thick as a child’s arm with a huge needle on the end. “It’ll be quick, just bear with it for a while!”
The Bureau Chief was still holding on tightly to Hong Dali’s waist. Grinning evilly, he looked just like a perverted old man.
“...” Hong Dali’s face had gone pale with fear, and he screamed at the top of his voice. “Help!”
He would die if he got jabbed with such a needle! Ahhhh!
Hence, after a lot of confusion—
Of course, in the end, two medical staff came and took blood in accordance with normal procedures before allowing Hong Dali to leave. Hong Dali expressed that he was very hurt and needed to look for comfort in his Xinxin’s embrace—and so he went into the room.
“That was hard.” Looking at the test tube containing Hong Dali’s blood, the mysterious man wiped his sweat in near-exhaustion. “We finally got the bastard’s blood. Among his family members, his blood is the most troublesome to get. We have already collected everyone else’s.”
“Big Boss,” the Bureau Chief asked carefully, “Let’s send it to the laboratory for analyzing now?”
“What’s the use of us analyzing it? What’s important is that the Galaxy Aristocrats see the results.” The mysterious man frowned and thought for a while, then he said resolutely, “Ask Jiang Qianxue to come. She’s the most suitable person to deliver the all-important blood samples! Forget it. She’s a Galaxy Aristocrat, after all. Let’s go to her instead.”
The mysterious man was right. It would be dangerous for someone else to send the blood samples to the Galaxy Aristocrats. They could easily be caught.
The only way was if Jiang Qianxue returned secretly and asked her family for help.
So, they went to look for Jiang Qianxue.
“Hello.” Hong Dali was sleeping elsewhere. Alone, Jiang Qianxue had reverted to her original calm countenance. She knew that the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief were the leaders of the state which Hong Dali belonged to on New Earth and that they were on good terms with him. So, when she saw them, she asked politely, “Is anything the matter?”
The mysterious man and the Bureau Chief looked at each other. The mysterious man nodded and the Bureau Chief whispered. “Miss Qianxue, it’s like this. I have collected blood samples from Hong Dali’s entire family, including Hong Dali’s grandfather, Hong Tu, Second Grandfather, Hong Wei, and Third Grandmother, Hong Ying. These are the three from the older generation. There is also blood from Hong Dali’s uncles, parents, and Hong Dali himself. We would like to request for Miss Qianxue to bring these blood samples back to be analyzed and to take a look at their genes.”
“Genes?” Jiang Qianxue frowned and wondered. “Is there something wrong with their genes?”
“Well, based on our guess,” the mysterious man sorted out his words and said in a serious voice, “we suspect that Hong Dali and his family, the Hong Family, are probably descendants of Mo Tianji!”
