Core city, Daxia.
The elevator slowly stopped at the 600th floor.
Out of the elevator, Xiao Ai took Gu Changqing and went straight to the general office.
The corridor was very long. After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the main office door.
This time, there was no need for the electronic device to scan the door. As Xiao Ai and Gu Changqing approached, the thick automatic door gradually opened.
What greeted his eyes was a huge and luxurious office.
The space here was really big. There was a tea-tasting room, a coffee room, a game room, a dining room, a leisure room, an office room, and a scenery room.
In addition, there were bedrooms, battle simulation rooms, the highest meeting room, seclusion rooms, and so on.
Xiao Ai smiled and said, âSir, from today onward, this will be your residence and office. Are you satisfied?â
âSo this is the office?â
She opened the office door and said, âThe main optical computer is inside, along with a projection of the Empireâs ruler as well as the things he left for you.â
Gu Changqing looked around and then entered the wide office.
Xiao Ai closed the door and waited outside quietly.
The reason why he was forced to test his potential index before coming up was because the Blue Star Empireâs ruler had left behind many projections.
In each projection, the content was different.
Gu Changqing came to the huge office table and sat down. Behind him was a floor-to-ceiling window that displayed almost the entirety of the core city.
Shing!
As he sat down, the main optical computer on the desk lit up and projected a middle-aged man in a black military uniform with three Emperor Star medals on each of his shoulders.
He had a chiseled face, and he exuded an imposing aura. His eyes were so deep that they seemed to reach the depths of any creatureâs soul. His tall and sturdy figure seemed to be able to hold back the sky with one hand if it collapsed.
His line of sight slowly fell on Gu Changqing, and he said with a smile, âHello, new human!â
âFor you to be able to come here and trigger my projection, it means that your potential index is at least 6,000 stars.â
âThis is only a projection I left behind. Therefore, you and I canât talk!â
âI donât think I need to say more about how the empire was destroyed. If I could be given a chance to start all over again, I still wouldnât show any mercy to the races in the universe.â
âIn this world where the strong prey on the weak, only when we are powerful enough that even the entire universe canât shake us can we be considered strong!â
âUnfortunately, our old empire was just a little bit short of that.â
âIf I could have another 10,000 years, the universe would be able to usher in a grand unification.â
âUnfortunately, there is no âifâ!â
âSigh! If it werenât for me. , the empire wouldnât have perished!â
At this point, he sighed deeply.
From this sigh, Gu Changqing could hear too much unwillingness, guilt, anger, and disappointment, but there was no regret.
At this moment, he continued, âBack then, I fought against the ten strongest masters in the starry sky alone. I fought with them for three years and killed seven of them at the risk of being heavily injured.â
âIn the end, perhaps due to the exhaustion of his physical strength and mental energy, as well as his injuries, the Void Master did not hesitate to self-combust and sacrifice 90% of his clansmen, turning them into Void Curses and entering their bodies. â
âThis is a curse that can exterminate any race. Any existence that inherits the fate of a cursed clan would be contaminated by it since ancient times. There has never been an exception.â
âIf you had been born in my era, we should have been able to fight side by side and sweep across the universeâs deep space.â
âOf course, there is also the possibility that we will kill each other. After all, two tigers cannot live on the same mountain.â
âAlright, the next important matter!â
âI know youâre very interested in the empireâs most powerful Divine Abyss Emperor Divine Rune, but Iâm sorry. Before I died, I raised it to the 42nd layer using the entire empireâs power. Iâm afraid you wonât be able to absorb it with your 6,000-star potential index.â
âHowever, your capabilities are endless. Itâs only a matter of time before you cultivate to 8,000 stars and fuse with it.â
âThe 42 -layered Divine Abyss Emperor Divine Rune is in the spatial ring on the table. Donât try to fuse with it before reaching 8,000 stars.â
âBrat, although I donât know your name, I believe that you will be able to lead the human race to rise again.â
âI still have a lot of things to say, but I donât know where to start.â
âIf you meet a woman named Diqin in the future, you must send her a message for me. Tell her Iâm sorry for letting her down!â
Speaking of this, he was silent, as if thinking about what else he wanted to say to Gu Changqing.
A moment later, he revealed an unwilling expression and said regretfully, âI donât want to die so quickly without being able to rule the universe.â
He stared at Gu Changqing with a burning gaze, âBrat, how about helping me and the old empireâs entire human race fulfill this wish?â
âRegardless of whether you agree or not, I have to remind you how the other races treated us. Donât be merciful, otherwise, it would be cruel to your own kind.â
âAlright, I have nothing more to say. Once this core city recognizes you as its master, you will be able to see everything in the surroundings.â
âFarewell! â
As he finished his last sentence, the projection slowly turned into light spots and dissipated.
âDonât worry, I will never show mercy to livestock!â
Gu Changqing whispered as if he was responding to the other party.
Taking out a cigarette and lighting it up, he looked at the end of a generation of ambitious men, his mood somewhat complicated.
Would he end up like this one day in the future?
After finishing the cigarette, he placed his hand on the optical computer in front of the table.
Buzz!
As soon as his right hand touched the computer, it shone brightly.
âIdentity confirmed. Welcome, Master. I am Xiao Shu, nice to meet you! If you have anything you donât understand or want to ask, you can ask me!â
When the light disappeared, an ethereal voice sounded in his ear.
Gu Changqing temporarily ignored it, his gaze falling on the space ring next to the computer.
Just now, the empireâs ruler had said that the 42 -layered Divine Abyss Emperor Divine Rune required at least 8,000 stars of potential index to fuse.
Since he has 11,000 stars, wouldnât it be easy for him to absorb this?
âMaster, it has been detected that two figures from the Supreme Sorcerer Tribe have entered into the core city and are approaching the main building. Should we dispatch the Emperor Star Guards to kill them?â
Hearing what Xiao Shu said, Gu Changqing, who had been interrupted, said coldly, âTurn on the projection and see who it is.â
Shing!
As he ordered, the main optical computer projected a virtual screen.
When he saw the people on it, Gu Changqing smiled.
It seems Su Youwei, Wu Ling, and Wu Xieyan had barged into the core city.
âShould we mobilize the Emperor Star Guards to eliminate them?â Xiao Shu asked again.
Gu Changqingâs eyes revealed a cruel expression as he said lightly, âTrap them first and wait for me to fuse with the Divine Abyss Emperor Divine Rune. I want to crush these three ants with my own hands!â
He didnât expect that b*tch Su Youwei would come knocking on his door.
âUnderstood!â
Xiao Shu respectfully replied and ordered the Imperial Star Guards to surround them.
