Emperor Zhen Gu's concerns are not unfounded.
Across the vast cosmic starfields, Humans are one of the four great life races, placing utmost importance on the spread and enforcement of the Supreme Law and Universal Law. The Supreme Law is inviolable—no one dares to challenge it.
Yet, humans are ultimately social creatures.
It is precisely the bonds, connections, and relationships between people that form the boundless domain of the Human Race.
The Supreme Law endures eternally.
However, law is tempered by compassion; even the Supreme Law cannot erase all human emotions.
......
On the imperial star, within the core imperial capital, inside the central treasure hall.
Hearing the Emperor's perspective, Andrew Han couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Emperor, since the Ancient Kingdom envoy is so closely tied to the Pink-Skin Humans, why send this envoy at all? Does the Cosmic Ancient Kingdom intend to openly defy the Supreme Law of the Starfield Human Race?"
He neither affirmed nor denied it, suspecting that Emperor Zhen Gu might be overthinking.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Gu fell silent.
The two stood at the entrance of the treasure hall, silver and crimson light weaving together. In the Chenriver Empire, these two colors symbolize nobility and status.
Occasionally, a gentle breeze would stir.
From time to time, Starlight-tier guards passed by.
Emperor Zhen Gu shook his head. "It's only my speculation. That imperial envoy's nine principal wives—one of them is a cultivation prodigy from the Pink-Skin Humans. After attending the last Grand Feast, she remained in the Cosmic Ancient Kingdom."
"Ah, a marital connection."
Andrew Han frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Even Void Rift-tier beings must bow in fear before the Supreme Law of the Starfield Human Race; the Ancient Kingdom should be no exception.
"Forget it," Zhen Gu said with a smile. "Perhaps I'm overthinking. Still, you should know that on some life planets that have never set foot in the stars, people loudly proclaim that 'princes and commoners face the same law.' In reality, it's just a slogan to placate the masses—completely unrealistic."
A prince is not truly a prince, and so-called equal punishment is nothing but a hollow lie.
In other words, when a true prince breaks the law, he will never be punished. Those princes who are punished are merely the ones the ruling class wants the public to see.
That's exactly right.
Andrew Han nodded.
A gentle breeze drifted across the entrance to the treasure hall.
The main gate of the treasure hall soared nearly ten thousand meters high, and the ground before it was paved with crimson crystal diamond.
Etched across the crystal diamond floor were countless interconnected trajectories, forming an intricate, mysterious pattern. Crimson crystal diamond gathered in endless streams, casting its light onto Zhen Gu's weathered face.
The scene was magnificent, yet the atmosphere was shrouded in silence.
The treasure hall was the epitome of luxury, awaiting the arrival of the Ancient Kingdom envoy.
"Let's not talk about this." Zhen Gu shook his head, feeling he had misspoken. These habits of vigilance had formed ever since Zhen Gu ascended to the imperial throne.
He stood at the highest point.
Of course, he could see farther, seeing through appearances to grasp the essence.
But Andrew Han didn't need to worry about such things—at least in this starry sky, strength always surpassed authority.
Thinking of this, Zhen Gu turned his head: "When the Ancient Kingdom envoy arrives, we'll discuss how to deal with the Pink-Skin Humans... Also, your teacher, Miles Ning, has achieved the Sealed Celestial Path. Did you really not know about this before?"
Emperor Zhen Gu voiced this confusion.
His golden eyes were filled with caution.
Every Sealed Celestial is a towering being who can communicate with primordial power, using the cosmic bodies to transcend the limits of life.
Strictly speaking, the Sealed Celestial Path is the earliest, most original direction of evolution!
Andrew Han was stunned for a moment and sighed softly: "I truly didn't know."
Is there anything more absurd, more ridiculous, in this world?
He had always thought himself the strongest in Earth's history, only to discover that his master, Miles Ning, had actually tapped into the primordial power of a star, leaping in a single bound to Stellar Palace Tier peak.
