Chapter 1211: The Chaos Before
Chapter 1211: The Chaos Before
---
The chaos was more rampant than ever before.
The differences between the Fegr Hub and the Blue Star were significant. The biggest difference was the lack of surveillance facilities; there were no cameras in public areas.
Due to the existence of Super AI Sange, every resident within the Fegr hub wore a bracelet.
It was impossible for criminal activities to occur, so the surveillance cameras were unnecessary items.
But now, Sange suddenly disappeared, which meant no one cared about crime, and there was no evidence from surveillance cameras!
As a result, violent crimes surged in various parts of the Fegr hub.
Assaults, gang fights, robberies, vandalism—various violent crimes spread to every corner of each city, and the entire Fegr hub became extremely chaotic.
The unmanned shops on the streets became a focal point of attention, as almost all shops were looted empty.
And these criminals received no punishment, which only made them more brazen!
Gradually, violent crime spread to every corner of each city, and the entire Fegr hub became a hotbed of chaos.
Moreover, the Fegr hub lacked "police" this department.
Without police, law and order could not be maintained, and violent crimes in various regions continued to escalate!
The crime rates in major cities were skyrocket.
Even in the most terrifying times, some densely populatedpopulated districts saw bodies every few steps away!
Social order had completely broken down, making life difficult to survive.
All of this had never happened in the history of the Fegr hub!

This terrifying chaos lasted nearly two months.
Faced with such a severe situation, the top powerhouses of the Fegr hub would not sit idly.
The hub's eight star-level existences took the lead, gathering 873 star-level existences for the first "Summit of the Top Powers" and forming a temporary council.
After a majority vote, they agreed to use the "Council Government" to temporarily take over Sange's management duties.
881 star-level and above formed the council, with one star-level existence having one vote and a constant star-level existence having ten votes.
All decisions in the Fegr hub were made by the council's votes, with ordinary resolutions passing with a simple majority and major resolutions requiring more than 70% of the votes to pass.
At the same time, the eight star-level existences formed the "Core Committee."
During this critical period, the core committee was responsible for forming a temporary government, selecting officials, and managing local law and order.
Under the coordination of the core alliance, the Fegr hub's army began a large-scale deployment to maintain law and order.
The army took the strictest measures, with captured criminals receiving harsher punishments, even being executed on the spot!
Due to the army's iron-fisted approach, the chaos in the Fegr hub gradually subsided, and at least the criminals no longer dared to openly rob and kill.
However, to thoroughly restore law and order, it was necessary to quickly establish a temporary government and delve deep into grassroots governance, while also recruiting police to rapidly expand the law enforcement teams and setting up numerous surveillance cameras in public areas... and so on.
Surveying the situation in the Fegr hub, it could only be said that the chaos was gradually subsiding, but a long road lay ahead to fully restore normal operations.

Understanding the form of the Fegr hub, Su Yu nodded inwardly.
The events unfolding at the Fig Hub didn't surprise him.
With the Hymn of Order missing, chaos was inevitable. Everything that had happened was to be expected. It wasn't just the Fig Hub; similar situations were likely occurring on other hub planets. The only question was whether other hub planets would also form provisional governments to quickly suppress the unrest.
After Su Yu finished absorbing the memory bubbles, Glenwy leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, and said, "Now you should understand the situation within the hub, right?"
"Yep," Su Yu nodded.
"The situation has improved slightly, but it's still very dangerous," Glenwy said with a sigh. "The provisional government has only installed surveillance cameras in a few public areas. Most regions, especially private ones, are completely unmonitored. As a new arrival, wandering around the hub could lead to problems, so you need to be cautious."
"I should be fine, right?" Su Yu was a bit puzzled. "I'm at the peak of the Eighth Rank. Shouldn't someone at my level be safe from danger?"
"That's hard to say. You might not know, but a significant number of Eighth Rank cultivators have perished recently. Being at the peak of the Eighth Rank doesn't guarantee invincibility."
As she spoke, Glenwy projected a document in front of Su Yu.
It was a list of recent deaths among Eighth Rank cultivators.
In the past two months, the number of Eighth Rank cultivators dying had skyrocketed! During the peaceful era when the Hymn of Order was still active, the average number of Eighth Rank cultivator deaths per month was between 10 and 20, with a peak of 40.
However, in the last two months, nearly 500 Eighth Rank cultivators had died! That's 25 times the usual rate!
And this was just the recorded deaths. Who knew how many more had gone unrecorded?
It wasn't just the Eighth Rank; cultivators of all levels below the Planetary Rank had also suffered significant casualties.
"See these 500+ Eighth Rank cultivators? Among them are many peak Eighth Rank cultivators, some even close to breaking through. They all died for various reasons. What makes you think you won't meet the same fate?"
"Five hundred Eighth Rank cultivators dead in just two months?" Su Yu drew in a sharp breath. The number was staggering, far beyond what he had imagined.
In his mind, Eighth Rank cultivators should be hard to kill. Even if they couldn't defeat Planetary Rank opponents, they should be able to handle their own level and ensure their safety.
But for so many to die at once...
"Could it be that Planetary Rank cultivators are involved?" Su Yu thought. If Planetary Rank cultivators were behind it, the high death toll among Eighth Rank cultivators would make more sense.
In such chaotic times, everyone was looking to take advantage of the situation. Planetary Rank cultivators weren't all saints; some would surely try to profit from the chaos.
If a Planetary Rank cultivator targeted an Eighth Rank, the latter would be in grave danger, and their death wouldn't be surprising.
After some consideration, Su Yu decided to ask.
He looked at Glenwy and said, "Ms. Glenwy, in this unrest, have any Planetary Rank or higher beings gotten involved?"
"..." Glenwy didn't answer immediately. Her expression darkened, and she turned to look at the right wall, her gaze becoming distant.
After a long moment, she turned back and said stiffly, "On the surface, no. The Planetary Rank and above are all members of the council, responsible for managing the entire hub. Why would they involve themselves in the unrest?"
