Chapter 1366: I'm Heading to the Tarken Hub
Chapter 1366: I’m Heading to the Tarken Hub
O’Neill was caught off guard and found himself in a completely bewildered state. When he saw the seven Stellar-level figures surrounding him, he became even more confused.
He had been speculating about how the higher-ups would handle the situation—whether they would sweep it under the rug or bring it up in the Hub Council meeting. But he never expected the Legion Commander to personally drag him over to apologize, and in front of so many important figures!
Faced with this situation, O’Neill naturally couldn’t afford to be stubborn. He immediately put on a remorseful expression and apologized, “I’m very sorry, Councilor Su Yu. I was misled by my subordinates and momentarily blinded by the Holy Silver Coins…”
O’Neill’s apology sounded sincere, at least in tone.
Su Yu crossed his arms and watched O’Neill with a cold eye. He certainly wanted O’Neill to pay the price immediately. However, considering that O’Neill was a fifth-stage Planetary-level and that Su Yu would be leaving the hub for a while, he had to hold his breath. If he provoked O’Neill, the latter might retaliate against his people after Su Yu left the hub.
Without looking at O’Neill, Su Yu turned to the Stellar-level figures and said, “Speaker, Legion Commander, and all other Lords, how do you wish to handle this matter?”
“Hmm, we want O’Neill to atone for his sins and earn his redemption…” Legion Commander Dalandor said with a stern face, explaining the decision they had just made.
The other Stellar-level figures remained silent, and Su Yu looked at Ashley, who also had no comment.
“Alright then.” After a sigh, Su Yu said, “I agree with your decision. However…”
He paused, then continued, “I have two conditions, and I hope you will agree to them.”
“Oh? What conditions?” Legion Commander Dalandor asked.
“The first condition,” Su Yu held up a finger, “is that I want to leave the hub and go to another hub for a while. The time… could be two to three years.”
“Huh? Leave the hub?” Legion Commander Dalandor was taken aback.
Not only Dalandor, but the other lords were also surprised. Su Yu actually wanted to leave the hub? At this time?
Of course, whether Su Yu was there or not made little difference to the hub. But why leave now? It couldn’t be that Su Yu was afraid for his life, could it? That didn’t seem to fit his character.
The lords all looked at Su Yu with puzzled expressions, unable to understand his motives.
Ashley was the first to ask, “Why do you want to leave the hub? Where are you going?”
Su Yu immediately answered, “I’m going to the Tarken Hub.”
“The Tarken Hub? You’re going to Hub 3?”
“The Tarken Hub is in the first arm of the galaxy, at least 70,000 light-years away from us. Wait, why would you want to go there?”
Everyone was extremely confused. The Tarken Hub was the third most powerful hub in the galaxy, often referred to as "Hub 3." It was very far from the Figer Hub. If the galaxy were mapped with "north up, south down, west left, and east right," with the Figer Hub at the northernmost point, the Tarken Hub would be at the southwesternmost point, several thousand light-years away.
What could Su Yu possibly want to do there?
...
Faced with the puzzled and confused looks, Su Yu said seriously, “I’m going there because of an ancient ruin.”
“An ancient ruin?”
“What ancient ruin?”
The Stellar-level figures were still puzzled, except for Banker Soren, who looked enlightened. “Oh, I see. You’re going to investigate the ruin, aren’t you?”
“You know about this?” The Stellar-level figures turned their attention to Andrew Soren.
“Hey, it’s like this,” Soren didn’t hide anything and explained the situation with the ancient ruins. A month ago, he had met with Su Yu in person to discuss a collaboration on exploring the ruins.
After the disappearance of the Hymn, the coordinates of numerous undeveloped ancient ruins she had known also vanished. However, the AI Blue Whale had retained some of these coordinates. If they could develop these ruins, the benefits would be substantial!
Of course, he hadn’t had the chance to collaborate with Su Yu yet.
...
After hearing Soren’s explanation, the other lords finally understood. “An ancient ruin,” Speaker Lemo stroked his chin tentacles and nodded. “If it’s a high-level ruin, the benefits would indeed be significant.”
Ancient ruins could contain relics of Stellar or Nebula levels, with treasures that even he found enticing.
He looked at Su Yu. “You want to go to Tarken because the AI Blue Whale has the coordinates of an ancient ruin there?”
“No, that’s not it,” Su Yu immediately shook his head.
“Not?” The Stellar-level figures were once again taken aback.
“It’s not the AI Blue Whale, but the Hymn,” Su Yu’s expression was solemn. “When I participated in the Ascension War of my civilization, the Hymn gave me the coordinates of an ancient ruin as a reward. After the war, she rewarded me based on my contributions, boosting my strength. But she didn’t just boost me to the Planetary level; she boosted me to the third stage of the Planetary level. Due to a cultivation technique, my strength quickly dropped below the Planetary level. However, those coordinates are very useful. If I can reach the ancient ruin at those coordinates, my strength will quickly recover to the third stage of the Planetary level, restoring my peak power.”
