Chapter 328: Your Dreams are Too Grand, How Dare You Think of Being My Servants?
Chapter 328: Your Dreams are Too Grand, How Dare You Think of Being My Servants?
A mechanical prompt tone sounded, causing Elder Mu, the clan leader, to stiffen in surprise, his eyes revealing a perplexed expression.
The Celestial Eyes were rarely activated, but simulations and drills were conducted at regular intervals.
Even the robots executing the program were unaware if it was a drill or an actual combat situation.
Each drill proceeded in an orderly manner, and there had never been an instance like the current situation.
Command transmission failed.
An unknown error occurred.
"What unknown error? Initiate self-diagnosis!" Elder Mu exclaimed without thinking.
His voice held no disguise, and it reached the ears of the Seventh Prince and Gong Yi Cai, among others.
The Seventh Prince's eyes widened in astonishment, seemingly unable to comprehend.
Gong Yi Cai, on the other hand, was taken aback.
He, too, had participated in drills involving the activation of the Celestial Eyes.
An unknown error... This was an issue that was almost impossible to encounter.
The Celestial Eyes operated as an independent system, disconnected from other networks, and constantly performed self-checks and inspections.
The robots on the Celestial Eyes were the latest generation, with a much lower error rate than humans.
Most importantly, the Celestial Eyes were situated high in the sky, resembling towering fortresses.
Aside from other Celestial Eyes, no weapon in this world could affect them.
After all, the Celestial Eyes were war fortresses equipped with almost all of the most advanced weapons in this world.
But... an unknown error occurred.
Furthermore, it seemed that multiple Celestial Eyes were affected simultaneously, which was almost unimaginable.
Gong Yi Cai couldn't fathom what kind of problem the Celestial Eyes were facing.
"Initiating self-diagnosis... Beep... The Celestial Eye has encountered an unknown attack and is entering Level One Alert, initiating defense..."
The prompt tone sounded, and Elder Mu's face turned ashen.
The Celestial Eye had indeed come under attack.
And Level One Alert was the highest level of alert.
This indicated that the attack on the Celestial Eye... might be impossible to counter.
"Who? The Ancient Witch, Cansheng, or another Seven Stars Clan!" Elder Mu's eagle-like gaze fell upon the Seventh Prince.
Only another Celestial Eye could cause such a critical situation for the Celestial Eye in a short time.
Elder Mu naturally suspected a conspiracy between the royal family and the other Seven Stars Clans against him.
"Activate the Star Sky Network, I want to see what's going on!"
At this moment, the Celestial Eye was under attack and in a defensive state, unable to transmit real-time footage.
Elder Mu had no choice but to activate the Star Sky Network.
The Star Sky Network was similar to the satellites above Blue Star, suspended in space, capable of capturing numerous images and videos.
In an instant, following Elder Mu's command, projections of various scenes appeared in the air within the hall, entering everyone's field of vision.
The first scene that caught their eyes was the Mu 01 Celestial Eye.
In the cold and desolate space, a massive war fortress hung lonely in the sky.
Within this steel behemoth, countless uniquely shaped mechanical vehicles could be vaguely seen moving, along with various transport belts in motion.
Countless robots patrolled, resembling ants.
The retracted gun barrels were cold and rigid.
This enormous war fortress gave off a sense of... science fiction, grandeur, and heavy industry.
The steel fortress operated smoothly, like a dormant deep-space giant, waiting for the moment to bare its fangs.
Suddenly, a flash of light seemed to pass by.
Boom! This was not a sound but an action.
The massive steel behemoth suddenly lit up at that moment, as if illuminated by a spotlight.
The next moment, the countless robots on the steel behemoth... shattered into fragments.
The terrifying steel fortress crumbled like a fragile pile of blocks, and the main body also showed signs of fracture.
The intact steel creation shattered into pieces, resembling a scene from a sci-fi movie.
But this was reality.
Even the most powerful missiles couldn't damage it, yet now, over eighty percent of the main body was damaged.
That light... what was it?
Who... could have damaged the Celestial Eye?
The Mu Clan members stared at the shattered Celestial Eye, their eyes filled with bewilderment.
Elder Mu's face turned dark with rage. "Who is it? I will make them pay the price!"
It would take at least several decades to repair this Celestial Eye.
Just then, a voice inexplicably reached the ears of everyone present through the projection.
This was unscientific.
"This Celestial Eye is indeed powerful, but it couldn't be blown to bits in one breath.
Hold me tighter, my dear..."
A slightly coquettish voice echoed in everyone's ears.
The Mu Clan members' faces changed.
If this voice was real, it had blown apart the... Celestial Eye fortress?
What immense strength was this! However, before they could think further, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.
In the depths of space, a light flashed, ten times brighter than the previous one.
This beam of light was vast like the sea, awe-inspiring, and beyond the comprehension of mortals.
Even... everyone present felt a sense of reverence upon witnessing this divine power, bowing in their hearts.
Under the might of the Divine Might, the terrifying giant beast, the Sky Eye, was like a seven-star ladybug encountering a space-based weapon, shattering instantly and turning to ashes.
In the vastness of space, it was as if a grand fireworks display had been ignited, dazzling and boundless.
Throughout Qi Yuan, many people seemed to gaze up at the starry sky, witnessing the celestial fireworks above.
At this moment, a warning sounded.
"Alert, Mu 01 Sky Eye has lost connection."
"Alert, Mu 02 Sky Eye has lost connection."
...
"Alert, Mu 13 Sky Eye has lost connection."
These alerts echoed through the hall.
The Mu Clan's disciples in the hall were horrified, each one in a state of shock and despair.
"How is this possible!"
"Thirteen Sky Eyes... destroyed in an instant!"
"I don't believe it!"
"It must be a false alarm, a mistake, yes!"
The Mu Clan disciples' eyes were bloodshot, unable to accept this reality.
The arrogance and invincibility once reflected in their eyes had vanished without a trace.
What did the destruction of the thirteen Sky Eyes signify? Everyone present understood.
It meant that the Mu Clan's privileges would be completely eradicated.
It was these thirteen Sky Eyes that made the Mu Clan one of the top three families in Qi Yuan Kingdom.
But with the destruction of the Sky Eyes, everything... was gone.
It could be said that none of the Mu Clan disciples present had ever imagined what it would be like without the Sky Eyes.
For the Sky Eyes' power was so terrifying that even the gods would tremble before it.
But now... all thirteen Sky Eyes were destroyed.
"Gone... all gone..." Elder Mu's voice was hoarse, his vitality completely dissipated, and his body instantly hunched over.
The Sky Eyes were everything.
Without the Sky Eyes, the royal family would be reduced to mere mascots.
They dared not imagine what kind of storm would befall the Mu Clan.
"The Mu Clan is destroyed by my hands, I am a sinner... woe is me..."
This old man, once so domineering, now resembled a solitary and pitiful candle in the wind, aging twenty years in an instant.
In his old age, he burst into tears.
The elder of the Mu Clan, one of the most powerful figures in Qi Yuan Kingdom... in the end, he was just an ordinary person.
After all, before the cultivation of immortality, the difference between people in Archstar was not that significant.
The greatest disparity might be in the starting line.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be cases of an entire town being dominated by founding generals and famous officials.
Just then, a playful voice reached everyone's ears again.
The Mu Clan disciples' hearts tightened.
Because this voice... was identical to the one they had heard from the Star Sky Network.
"My lord, who should we kill?"
With this voice, everyone present seemed to feel a gust of wind.
In the hall, a young man and woman appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, like a perfect couple.
"It's her... she destroyed the Sky Eyes!"
"How is this possible!"
"Ah..."
The Mu Clan disciples in the hall were in an uproar, some trembling with fear.
In the outside world, they had connections everywhere, and a single word from them could influence a region's economy or the appointment of officials. But at this moment, they felt utterly powerless and insignificant.
[End of Chapter]
Without the Sky Eye, facing a powerful cultivator like Qi Yuan, they had absolutely no means to resist.
In the face of Qi Yuan, they were as powerless as ordinary people facing them.
After all, this was a ruthless being who could destroy the Sky Eye, a terrifying existence surpassing even the gods.
How could the Mu Clan have offended such a person?
Their arrogance, pride, and haughtiness vanished in an instant.
At this moment, a cold glint flashed in Ning Tao's eyes: "Bribing my husband with a woman, she must die!"
As her voice rang out, the middle-aged man's body stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground.
His aura vanished, and it was clear that he had died on the spot.
A moment of silence filled the room, and all the Mu Clan disciples dared not speak, gazing at Qi Yuan as if he were a demon god.
Just then, a thud was heard.
The arrogant Mu Clan Elder knelt on the ground, his cloudy eyes filled with a lifeless gray.
"Forgive me, Mr. Qi. It is all my fault, Mu Wan Shan."
"This sin is unforgivable. I shall take my own life as atonement."
"I beg Mr. Qi to spare the Mu Clan, allowing us to continue our lineage."
Mu Wan Shan was also a ruthless man.
With the destruction of the Sky Eye, he knew that the decline of the Mu Clan was only a matter of time.
Not only would Qi Yuan not let them off, but their past enemies would also show no mercy.
They had almost no chance of turning things around.
The only opportunity was to seek Qi Yuan's forgiveness.
So, with a heavy heart, he offered the Mu Clan's thousand years of accumulated wealth as compensation, presenting it to Qi Yuan in exchange for a glimmer of hope.
After all, the accumulated wealth of a great clan over a thousand years was an unimaginable fortune, enough to tempt anyone.
Gong Yi Cai's breath quickened upon hearing Mu Wan Shan's words.
The Seventh Prince's gaze also grew complex.
The Mu Clan offering to become slaves, Mu Wan Shan... truly lived up to his age and wisdom.
Such a grand gift would likely not be refused by anyone in the world.
"No, Grandfather, our Mu Clan has a three-thousand-year-old legacy, with a thousand years as a prominent family. How can we become slaves?"
A Mu Clan disciple stepped forward, his eyes filled with disbelief at this reality.
As a true scion of a prominent family, he possessed the pride of his lineage.
With thousands of years of heritage, he could not bring himself to bow down and serve as a slave.
At that moment, another Mu Clan disciple spoke up: "I'd rather die than become a slave."
This voice resonated with many others.
They couldn't imagine the humiliation that awaited them if they became slaves.
However, most of the Mu Clan disciples present were already tempted.
At this point, being able to survive was already a blessing; how could they consider so much?
"Tsk tsk tsk, your thoughts are truly beautiful." At this moment, disdain flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes, "You bunch of dreamers, living in your own fantasy world, and you think you're worthy of being my slaves?
Wouldn't that be a huge loss of face for me?"
Qi Yuan looked down on the Mu Clan.
Their wealth, heritage, and accumulation meant nothing in his eyes.
Even their value couldn't compare to a joke that would make him laugh.
These NPCs were truly hilarious, dreaming such beautiful dreams.
"So... let's just kill them all, so they don't keep dreaming, and we don't let them off easy." Qi Yuan said calmly.
Mu Wan Shan's eyes widened in shock.
Qi Yuan's response was completely beyond his expectations.
Who would refuse... the Mu Clan's thousand years of accumulated wealth?
But indeed, he had no time to think further, as his mind froze in that instant.
In the hall, over two hundred Mu Clan disciples... all turned into corpses.
The Seventh Prince's heart trembled, and fear emerged in his eyes.
Gong Yi Cai shivered, not daring to make a move.
"Indeed, it's better to keep things quiet like this. Otherwise, they'll keep chattering in my ears, being so noisy."
Qi Yuan spoke casually.
After killing over two hundred Heaven Dragon people, he was nonchalant, as if he had merely squashed a few ants.
"Oh right, if I remember correctly, the Mu Clan should have at least a few thousand, or even tens of thousands of people. Should I... kill them all?" Qi Yuan muttered to himself.
"If my husband wishes to kill, I can use a spell right now. Every person in this world with Mu Clan blood will instantly perish." Ning Tao replied seriously.
In her world, Qi Yuan was everything.
Qi Yuan's words were her command.
These words fell upon the ears of the Seventh Prince and Gong Yi Cai, and their faces paled.
Such a terrifying spell... it was too horrifying!
This woman's heart... was truly frightening.
With this spell, the death toll would not be limited to tens of thousands; it might reach millions.
"No, if I do this, wouldn't I become a maniacal killer? I'm not the type to slaughter indiscriminately." Qi Yuan refused.
He was a good person, never killing without reason, nor slaughtering entire families, nor punishing the innocent.
"I have an idea... let's hold a public vote!"
A satisfied smile appeared in Qi Yuan's eyes as he thought of a satisfactory solution.
