Of the three angels, a virtual control panel suddenly appeared in front of one of them.
“Heh~ Origin Star, and the Star River Empire?”
“This civilization’s people are too arrogant! They actually named themselves this!”
“But this civilization is developing well, huh? They entered the Industrial Age so quickly, and they’ve already unified the entire planet.”
The speaking angel had a stunningly beautiful face. She watched the data displayed on the control panel with great interest.
Another angel opened her own control panel and said in a sweet, melodious voice.
“It only took a mere twelve years for this civilization called the Star River Empire to advance from the Iron Age to the Steam Age. And their weapons are almost reaching the level of pre-nuclear civilization. This is highly unusual!!!”
“War! War!! War!!! ”
“This civilization is either preparing to wage war or already on the path to war. They slaughter cities and annihilate nations, committing every evil imaginable. This is completely contrary to our angelic beliefs. I even want to bring down a bolt of lightning and judge this civilization.”
The angel with her hair meticulously combed back had a furrowed brow, clearly expressing her disgust with the Star River Empire.
The Star River Empire’s actions were completely against their beliefs.
According to the judgments of righteous order, this civilization was extremely evil and needed angelic correction.
“The wars of mortals are different from those of our divine civilization. Therefore, we cannot intervene, we can only guide them.”
“Moreover, although this planet’s civilization is cruel and violent, its people are very simple in their faith. Therefore, they need our guidance even more, so that they will not be corrupted by evil thoughts and fall.”
“So, let’s go to the Origin Star together and see the masters of this civilization.”
The angel with the stunningly beautiful face closed the virtual panel in front of her. Her pure white angel wings spread out as she flew rapidly toward the Origin Star.
The other two angels followed closely behind her, acting as her guards.
…
The Chalk City
The Star River Palace.
After finishing his speech in the plaza, Tai Hao led all the Empire’s high-ranking officials back to the Star River Palace.
This white palace was the power center of the Star River Empire. All major decisions were made here.
Tai Hao sat on the throne and said to the ministers standing below, “Now, the Star River Empire has unified the Origin Star. Our next task is to quickly immigrate, occupy the conquered continents, establish a good administrative management system, and clear out the rebels.”
“Most importantly, the Empire needs to quickly improve its technological level and enter the Electrical Age!”
“As you command, Great Emperor of Chalk.”
The ministers in the hall responded in unison, their eyes filled with excitement.
With the Empire unified across the globe, they would all gain greater power and more benefits.
Most importantly, under their guidance, the Empire had accomplished an unprecedented feat.
Unification!
They had the right to revise their family lineages, establish their own branches and become ancestors. Their names would be recorded in history, remembered for eternity.
“Your Majesty, I request to retire and return home to enjoy my twilight years.”
At that moment, an old man with a stern expression, a full head of white hair, and wearing a general’s uniform stood up. He bowed to Tai Hao on the throne, humbly and respectfully requesting permission to retire.
The old man’s name was Dongfang Han. He was one of the Empire’s field marshals.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was in an uproar. They looked at the old general with disbelief.
This was the time to share the fruits of victory. It was too illogical to leave at this time.
Yang Yu’s eyes narrowed. He instantly understood why the general had made this decision.
Retiring at the peak of one’s career.
But wouldn’t it seem like I don’t have the capacity to tolerate others if he retires now?
Dongfang Han didn’t know what was going on in Tai Hao’s mind and continued his report.
“Your Majesty, I am sixty-five years old. Starting with the previous Emperor, I have served the Empire for forty years. I am old and no longer capable of serving the Empire. I just want to return to my hometown, enjoy my grandchildren, and spend my remaining years surrounded by my descendants.”
“Therefore, I humbly request Your Majesty to grant my resignation.”
Dongfang Han’s trembling body bowed. His old face was filled with wrinkles.
It wasn’t that he was willing to give up his current position. He was truly old, his body riddled with injuries from years of military campaigns. Dongfang Han didn’t know how much longer he had to live.
And retiring now was the most beneficial choice. Dongfang Han needed to make way for the next generation of his family.
Tai Hao paused for a moment before speaking in a gentle voice, “Rise. After the awards ceremony, I will appoint Dongfang Leng Feng as my bodyguard commander.”
Hearing Tai Hao’s arrangement, Dongfang Han’s cloudy eyes couldn’t hide his excitement. He knelt down and bowed, “Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I accept your benevolence on Leng Feng’s behalf.”
“Rise.”
After allowing Dongfang Han to rise, Tai Hao turned his gaze toward the other ministers and generals.
“You are all heroes of the Empire. You have fought for the Empire and conquered this vast territory. I am not the kind of person who would discard loyal subjects once they have served their purpose.”
As a fairly wise feudal lord, Tai Hao had a very strong control over the Empire.
Now, after completing the great feat of global unification, Tai Hao’s prestige had reached an unprecedented level. Therefore, Tai Hao was not afraid of anyone becoming too powerful and threatening his rule.
········
“Heh~ Interesting.”
“Don’t worry! Your Emperor is very generous. As long as you don’t rebel, he won’t be willing to eliminate you, his~ loyal subjects.”
Suddenly, a valiant female voice came from outside the hall.
Moments later, dozens of guards armed with rifles surrounded three angels as they slowly walked into the palace.
The sudden intruders were the three blonde angels who had been using technology to monitor the Origin Star from space.
Hearing the commotion, the ministers all turned their heads and looked curiously at the three blonde angels surrounded by guards, almost jumping out of their skins. How could a human have wings? They must be monsters, right?
Tai Hao, who was sitting on the throne, felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the three blonde angels surrounded by dozens of guards.
How familiar their attire and appearance were. Tai Hao recognized their identities at a glance.
Angel Mo Yi, Angel Zhui, and Angel Yan!
Even though he had been Emperor for over a decade, holding the power of life and death over countless people, Tai Hao couldn’t help but break down at this moment. He had thought he had transmigrated to an ordinary ancient world. He never expected that it would be a high-risk universe where gods walked the earth.
Tai Hao had always believed that with the help of his cheat codes, he could, within his lifetime, raise this vast empire, which he had developed with his own hands, to the level of intelligent industrial civilization. He had thought that wouldn’t be a waste of his time coming to this world.
But who would have known that he hadn’t even left the newbie village!
Tai Hao didn’t know whether he should be happy or disappointed.
