Upon hearing about the events in the Chenriver Empire, the white-robed youth was filled with anger.
He had just received his appointment from the Human Supreme Hall, coming here to serve as inspector for the Ancient Kingdom's regional division—yet such an incident had occurred. This was an open act of contempt against the Human Supreme Law, and absolutely unforgivable.
"Our Human Race rose from obscurity!"
"What did we rely on to rise? It was our rationality, our humanity, and our commitment to giving the younger generation entering the starry skies the best possible environment! We discarded the old, dark laws of the cosmos—no longer the law of the jungle, but a system where talent and strength are equally important, advancing side by side!"
The white-robed youth's gaze turned icy, and he let out a cold snort.
Whenever his emotions fluctuated, his eyes seemed capable of tearing apart the starry skies—cosmic dust and stellar light twisted to the extreme, as if the collapse of heaven and earth, resembling the deep terror of a black hole's gravity.
Even Void Rift-tier beings would shudder with dread if confronted face-to-face.
Buzz!
A casual ripple of energy instantly pierced through a million li.
A million li away, a Subspace Flyer radiating golden light roared thunderously, then launched with fierce acceleration, spun half a circle, and shone brilliantly. Resembling a triangular pyramid, it began gliding toward the white-robed youth.
At the imperial level, warp-drive engines are the primary mode of transport.
At the Ancient Kingdom level, however, Subspace Flyers are the main vessels.
Of course, for short-range travel, warp-drive engines are still most common... Here, short-range means travel within a single stellar system. For journeys between stellar systems, which are usually vastly distant, Subspace Flyers are necessary.
At this moment, the Subspace Flyer was activated.
Clearly, Howard Gu did not wish to wait even a moment longer—he was determined to depart immediately.
The many towering figures nearby exchanged glances, hurriedly trying to dissuade him: "There must be some underlying reason, Your Highness Howard, please calm your anger."
"In the Yarlowe Sector of the Cosmic Ancient Kingdom, we frequently promote the Supreme Law and the Common Law. Nearly all lifeforms above Starlight-tier are aware of these laws—how could anyone knowingly break them so easily?"
"Your Highness Howard comes from the Human Supreme Hall, supremely noble—there is no need to be angry."
"Your Highness Howard, the lower the rank of a nation, the harder it is to establish systems that uphold the law. The Chenriver Empire only occupies a small part of its stellar system, and is a relatively weak empire. Upon my inquiry, the governor of the Yarlowe Sector's division has already dispatched an envoy to Chenriver."
Each of these towering figures spoke with cheerful smiles.
The Cosmic Ancient Kingdom is divided into seventeen star-sectors; these individuals were all mighty figures of the Yarlowe Sector, standing above the governing system and truly deserving the title of peerless powerhouses.
However.
Faced with Howard Gu from the Human Supreme Hall, they still had to be cautious.
Being a noble genius was one thing; the key was that His Highness Howard was about to take another step forward—leaving the Star-Sky Human Genius Register behind and being branded into an even higher Human roll.
"Everyone, my apologies."
Howard Gu turned around, face tinged with guilt, his voice firm and undeniable: "Thank you all for hosting this little banquet for me, but I must take my leave first... In the Human Supreme Hall, I often receive similar assignments—some people's depravity simply defies common sense."
The many towering figures paused for a moment, and could only refrain from further persuasion.
"Only by seeing it with my own eyes can I be at ease." Howard Gu showed an apologetic look, cupped his hands, and then transformed into a streak of flowing light, entering the golden Subspace Flyer.
Departure!
Chenriver Empire!
"Andrew Han's background has already spread: he comes from an ordinary life planet, joined Chenriver Palace, and crushed the Tianyu Empire’s Tianyu Palace... All that is old news. What matters now is this: Starlight-tier Andrew Han has slain Stellar Palace-tier beings!"
Calling it a spark igniting a prairie fire doesn’t even begin to capture it.
It is as if a tsunami thousands of fathoms high is surging, as if a tidal wave of heat is boiling mountains and seas, as if an atmosphere of unfathomable shock has descended, enveloping every life on the Imperial Star.
......
"Why do the Pink-Skin Humans want Andrew Han dead?"
"No idea. Let's just watch the drama unfold—these matters are far too distant from us anyway."
Every Fusion-tier being bows low, as if witnessing a living legend of the starry sky.
......
"How can there be such a vast gulf between two Starlight-tier cultivators?"
"Is Andrew Han truly only Starlight-tier? I find that hard to believe."
Starlight-tier cultivators all gaze upward, their expressions too numerous to count. Even the most self-confident among them can only bow their heads in awe.
......
"A Stellar Palace-tier, dead?"
Even the Stellar Palace-tier are stunned, repeatedly verifying the truth of the news, unable to believe it.
As powerhouses who once looked down upon the Milky Way, they only ever feared Void Rift-tier beings. Yet hearing of Andrew Han’s might now, an inexplicable bitterness wells up in their hearts.
Since when could a Starlight-tier slay a Stellar Palace-tier?
It utterly overturns their long-held beliefs, transcending all bounds, shattering the mindset of the strong.
Once lofty and untouchable, the Stellar Palace-tier now feel that Andrew Han, by his strength alone, has dragged them down from their exalted heights!
"It’s one thing to kill a Stellar Palace-tier... but two of them?"
"That’s not all—I heard one of those Stellar Palace-tier was a Void Rift descendant and wielded a giant axe-shaped Cosmic Wonder!"
Countless Stellar Palace-tier beings reside on the Imperial Star, exchanging messages via transmission.
All eyes are fixed on the core treasure hall, where Emperor Zhen Gu and Andrew Han sit inside, awaiting the arrival of the Ancient Kingdom envoy.
"Andrew Han."
The Emperor stands with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance: "For us, a Cosmic Ancient Kingdom envoy is a person of immense stature. No matter what you think, do your utmost to follow the envoy’s instructions."
Andrew Han nodded. "Understood."
His thoughts lingered on his home, Earth; all he hoped was for the Ancient Kingdom envoy to arrive quickly and resolve the Pink-Skin Human problem.
At his side.
A trace of worry flickered in Emperor Zhen Gu’s golden eyes.
From preliminary inquiries, it seems this Ancient Kingdom envoy is deeply entangled with the Pink-Skin Humans. No one knows how the envoy will judge them.
