Chapter 962: Six Days Later
Cindy Doppeler was forced to accept many orders from Cecilia, which often contradicted his own plans.
Originally, Cindy intended to unite the Bek country and the Blue Star humans to fight against the Skrull United Government. However, Cecilia's orders were filled with ulterior motives. Not only did they aim to eliminate the Skrull United Government, but they also significantly harmed the interests of the Blue Star humans, their supposed allies.
Despite this, Cindy had no choice but to obey Cecilia's commands. Disobeying would put his and his family's lives in grave danger. As for Cecilia's true intentions, Cindy dared not ask, and could only follow her orders.
...
...
Six days passed quickly, and the day before the Endless Realm was set to open arrived.
During these six days, Skrull was unexpectedly peaceful. For the average Skrull, the biggest change was the presence of Tina, Morning Star, and Alice, the cat. They toured the major cities and scenic spots of the Sun Empire, and then moved on to other countries like the Runkte Alliance.
Initially, the Skrulls were terrified of them, fearing that their self-destruction would result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands. However, over time, the Skrulls grew accustomed to their presence. Tina and her companions did not self-destruct, nor did they harm the civilians. They caused no widespread destruction and showed no signs of danger, so discussions about them gradually diminished.
During these six days, Chancellor Cao and the First Emperor visited various intelligent races, including the Merfolk, the Three-Headed Serpent, the Deep Sea Giant Squid, and even the lower-tier Crowned Birds and Snow Bees.
Through their efforts, almost all intelligent races on Skrull came to understand that the Holy Silver Federation was not supporting the Skrulls. They sent peak god-level beings to uphold the "Principle of Fair Warfare."
With this knowledge, the major intelligent races no longer sided entirely with the Skrulls. Most of them returned to a neutral stance, declaring that they would not take sides between the Skrull people and the Blue Star humans. This was highly beneficial for the Blue Star humans.
However, their efforts to sell equipment were not as successful. Chancellor Cao would try to sell Blue Star human-made equipment to these intelligent races, but Plant would always intervene with more attractive offers, persuading them not to cooperate with the Blue Star humans.
In the end, Chancellor Cao only managed to secure a deal with the Snow Bees. The Snow Bees had no peak god-level beings, but their vast numbers and deep-seated hatred for the Skrulls made them willing to risk cooperation with the Blue Star humans.
The other intelligent races were mostly swayed by Plant's generous offers and agreed not to trade with the Blue Star humans.
...
The results of Chancellor Cao and the First Emperor's efforts were limited. The "Principle of Fair Warfare" quickly spread among the intelligent races and eventually reached the Skrull people's territory. However, the Skrull United Government immediately took strict measures to control the spread of this information.
They knew that widespread dissemination would severely damage the Emperor's reputation. Therefore, the government's relevant departments quickly implemented strict information control, closely monitoring various information channels. Any mention of this information on the internet was immediately deleted, censored, or the account was banned.
Due to their strict control, the information did not spread widely on the internet. Most Skrulls were unaware of it, and even fewer knew about Chancellor Cao and the First Emperor's visit. Their popularity was even lower than that of Tina, Morning Star, and Alice.
...
As for the other Blue Star humans:
Zhong Feng successfully delivered the required equipment to the Dragon Clan without any interference. The 22 external players also arrived safely on the Wild Continent, beginning their training and hunting of magical beasts.
...
At the end of these peaceful six days, Cindy Doppeler finally completed the first order Cecilia had given him—contacting Morgan Sunfire.
Contacting Morgan Sunfire was not easy. It required a "Holy Hymn" communication terminal, knowledge of his communication number, and a large amount of psychic energy to secure a single communication opportunity.
Cindy utilized all his connections to visit cosmic tourists on the planet, and with Cecilia's help, he finally secured the communication terminal.
On the sixth day, at 6 PM, Cindy Doppeler sat solemnly in a secret room beneath the Speaker's Mansion, holding a silver-white "Holy Hymn" communication terminal.
This terminal was similar to the "wristwatch" that Donna, the Holy Silver person, always wore. When activated, it displayed a light green virtual screen.
The virtual screen already had a number input, which was the number Cecilia had provided for Morgan Sunfire.
The basement was silent, but Cindy was not alone. Sitting next to him was Hayden Sunfire, who had just returned from the Sun Empire.
Hayden still looked the same, his face etched with hatred, and his aura was unstable from the recent journey.
Cindy took a deep breath and handed the communication terminal to Hayden with a grave expression. "Are you ready?"
"We only have one chance."
Hayden Liusun took the terminal and nodded slowly. "I've got it. I'll handle it!"
"Let's get started, then."
"Alright." Hayden Liusun pressed the call button firmly.
...
At the same time, on a small asteroid in the second spiral arm of the Milky Way, Morgan Liusun walked out of a secret realm with a light step. His clothes were tattered, and his once-elegant high-tier robe was now riddled with burn marks and tears. Despite his disheveled appearance, his smile was radiant, and his face glowed with genuine joy.
"Ha! I finally have the Level 6 Star Core! I'm one step closer to becoming a god!" He thought to himself, "If I can complete that six-star bounty mission, I might just reach the god tier! The academy's annual evaluation won't be a problem at all..."
Morgan Liusun had been stuck at the peak of the seventh tier for about fifty to sixty years. Now, he had finally gathered all the auxiliary materials needed for his breakthrough, and with the Level 6 Star Core, his chances of success were over 90%!
This breakthrough to the god tier was almost certain!
Just as he was about to leave the asteroid, his communicator on his left wrist lit up, signaling an incoming call.
"Hmm? Who's calling me at this hour? Can they even afford the call fee?"
He looked at the communicator and saw an unknown number.
"Whatever, I'll take the call and see who it is."
Morgan Liusun didn't think much of it and accepted the call, speaking in the common language of the Holy Silver Alliance: "Hello, this is Morgan Liusun. What can I do for you?"
But he was utterly shocked when a familiar voice came through the speaker: "Morgan, it's your Uncle Hayden. How are you doing?"
Hearing that voice, Morgan Liusun shuddered, hardly believing his ears.
Uncle Hayden?
He was supposed to be dead!
Could the technology of the Holy Silver Alliance have advanced to the point where they could communicate with the afterlife?
Or was someone playing a prank?
Before he could react, Hayden Liusun continued: "Morgan, I'm not dead. Your father tried to kill me, but he only managed to kill a clone. My true body is still alive."
"U-Uncle Hayden... y-you..." Morgan Liusun was at a loss for words.
Hayden Liusun sounded genuinely alive.
But why was he contacting him? The call fee would be astronomical!
Seemingly sensing Morgan's confusion, Hayden Liusun continued: "Morgan, your father couldn't kill me, but he did murder over two hundred of my family members! I've sworn to avenge them in this lifetime!
My only goal is revenge. Once Manina is dead, I have no other desires. The throne and the entire Liusun Empire will be yours. I won't ask for anything."
"???" Morgan Liusun was even more at a loss for words.
If you want revenge, why are you calling me? Do you think you can come through the phone and kill me?
And what if I tell my father?
With a great deal of doubt, Morgan Liusun voiced his concerns: "Uncle Hayden, why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid I'll tell my father?"
Hayden Liusun nodded and then shook his head. "I am afraid, but not completely."
He said seriously, "Morgan, the reason I'm contacting you is to form an alliance to overthrow Manina Liusun.
I only want revenge. Once Manina is dead, I have no other demands. The throne and the entire Liusun Empire will be yours, and I won't ask for a single thing."
"Ha? Overthrow my father..." Morgan was completely stunned. He never imagined that Hayden Liusun would contact him for this reason.
Was a coup and betrayal even feasible?
After a long silence, Morgan Liusun finally spoke into the communicator: "But Uncle Hayden, he is my father..."
"So what if he's your father?" Hayden Liusun interrupted. "We're close relatives, and he still had us all executed on a trumped-up charge.
Besides, I know your greatest ambition is to become a planetary-class powerhouse, right? The benefits of the 'Civilization Ascension Plan' are clear. Do you really want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
Morgan Liusun was silent. Hayden Liusun's words struck a chord with him.
Indeed, Morgan Liusun's ultimate goal was to become a planetary-class powerhouse.
After witnessing the vast universe, a mere god-tier rank was nothing to him. Achieving planetary-class status was his lifelong dream!
However, becoming a planetary-class powerhouse was incredibly difficult and required resources beyond imagination. Even if all the resources of the entire Skrull planet were multiplied by ten, they still wouldn't be enough.
In the past, Morgan Liusun had no interest in inheriting the throne because the resources of the Liusun Empire were insignificant compared to his ambitions.
But things were different now. The Skrull planet had joined the 'Civilization Ascension Plan.'
If he became the emperor of the Liusun Empire and led the Skrull people to victory against other civilizations, the Holy Silver Alliance would award them substantial war bonuses!
If they won enough rounds, the war rewards would be enough to make him a planetary-class powerhouse!
This was a feasible plan, certainly more reliable than trying to gather resources on his own.
So he had to consider it carefully.
