Chapter 18
The Lady of the Black Tower's Shock

“Mr. Diamond, if what you're saying is true, then this young man named Chen Xu became the Destroyer's Emissary?”

“But, that shouldn't be possible!”

“Even if he became an Emissary, the Floating One wouldn't appear for something like this.”

Yapoli frowned, voicing her opinion.

While Emissaries were the strongest beneath the Star Gods,

they were ultimately just practitioners of a particular path.

Such instances were rare, but not unprecedented.

They would never pique the Floating One's interest.

In other words, not worthy.

Unless it was the first Emissary bestowed by Nanook, holding significant importance, it would be highly unlikely to attract the Floating One's attention, right?

“No, no, no, Ms. Yapoli.”

“You've misunderstood my meaning.”

Diamond chuckled and shook his head in negation.

“My point is, not only did he not become the Destroyer's Emissary, but he might have even refused to become an Emissary!”

He then shared his deduction.

“Boom~!”

His words reverberated like a thunderclap.

Exploding in the ears of everyone present.

Like a deep-sea bomb dropped into a calm lake,

it sent up towering waves.

Leaving them unable to remain composed.

“Wh…what? Refused to become the Destroyer’s Emissary?”

Everyone else was instantly thrown into disarray.

“Mr. Diamond? With all due respect, your deduction is a bit too audacious and outrageous, wouldn't you say?”

Oswaldo Schneider, the head of the Market Development Department, shook his head.

He strongly disagreed.

Refused to become an Emissary? What a joke!

That's the Star God's blessing.

It's mandatory, it cannot be refused.

Since the inception of Star God Emissaries, not a single person has ever refused.

And to refuse the Star God's blessing!!!

Because they are Gods!

The strongest in the entire universe.

The supreme beings! Inviolable!

Refusing the Star God’s blessing, how much power would one need to pull off something like that?

Those who can refuse to become a Star God's Emissary!

They’d be worthy of being called gods themselves, wouldn't they?

“Haha, everyone, I told you, it was just an interesting guess. However, I believe that even if it's just speculation, it's close to the truth.”

“Why don't you all calm down and think about it?”

Diamond remained unfazed by his colleagues’ rebuttals.

“I agree with Mr. Diamond.”

“We were both bestowed blessings by the Amber King.”

At this moment, Tara Van Gean stepped forward.

“Th…?”

Everyone else was stunned.

Indeed, the amount of information contained in this speculation was a bit too much.

A bit too sensational.

But everyone gave it a second thought…

They increasingly felt the deduction was impeccable.

Because not only were there two Emissaries of Preservation backing it up,

but the Floating One's appearance also served as validation.

“Unbelievable, there are actually things like that in the world?”

“Both of you…!”

“I'm convinced by your speculation!”

After a long pause, Zai Tian shook his head.

He acknowledged Diamond and Tara Van Gean's speculation.

“Hehe, the universe is vast.”

“Even the most incredible things can happen.”

Yapoli also chimed in.

“If that's the case, should we try to contact such a talented individual and have him join the company?”

Then, the Head of Talent Incentive, Mtuyoin Raj, spoke.

As part of the Intergalactic Peace Company's human resources department,

a large part of their work

was to help the company attract talent.

“We can try to contact him, but we're unsure of his relationship with the Stargazer Train. If he's also a Pioneer, we'll need to be careful.”

Diamond immediately voiced his opinion.

They were indeed interested in Chen Xu.

They wanted to learn more and study him further.

However, at the very least, they needed to consider the forces behind him.

Of course, the Intergalactic Peace Company wasn't afraid of those nameless travelers who inherited the Pioneer's will.

But the reputation of the nameless traveler was legendary in the universe.

These people were not to be trifled with.

Most importantly, if he had truly refused the blessing of the Emissary,

then Chen Xu's strength

would likely be on par with an Emissary.

Or even beyond an Emissary, approaching godhood.

The company didn't want to create an enemy like that.

“Hm! Agreed! Scarface, you and the Talent Incentive Department should discuss this. If there’s an opportunity, feel him out.”

Moments later, Tara Van Gean looked at Scarface.

“No problem.”

At this very moment, the Black Tower Space Station.

“Hey! You've been staring at me for hours?”

“Am I that good-looking?”

Chen Xu glanced at March 7th, speechless.

Since a while ago,

she had been looking at him with suspicion.

But in theory, he saved the space station.

Shouldn't she be looking at him with admiration?

“Tsk tsk… Well, I admit you're a bit cute, but how did you manage to refuse becoming the Destroyer’s Emissary?”

“Is it really possible to refuse that?”

March 7th returned to her usual carefree demeanor.

“Um… this is already…”

“The fifth time you've asked that in the past hour.”

“If you really have nothing better to do, go buy some stuff, okay? Didn't Station Manager Asta say everything's on her?”

Chen Xu rubbed his forehead in annoyance and made a suggestion.

He was truly defeated.

What kind of brain did March 7th have?

“Hey… hey… hey! You didn't mention it, I forgot!”

“Oh, no! How could I forget something so important? I missed out on so much shopping in the past few hours!”

Upon hearing that, March 7th suddenly snapped out of it.

Her face was filled with regret.

She had actually forgotten something so important.

“Beep beep beep~! Beep beep beep~!”

Suddenly, March 7th's phone beeped.

Soon, she picked up her phone and glanced at it.

“Chen Xu, Sister Kiana said to go see her when you’re free. She’s waiting for you on the second floor of the control center. I’m off, gotta go!”

Having said that, March 7th turned into a gust of wind and ran off.

Sure enough, things like shopping

had a fatal attraction for women.

Soon, Chen Xu got up.

He went to the second floor of the control center.

Looking around, Kiana, Asta, and Xing Mei were already waiting.

“Ms. Kiana, were you looking for me?”

Chen Xu approached and greeted her.

“Yes, Mr. Chen Xu, I've asked Dan Heng to look for information about your hometown. Also, the person I'm waiting for is about to arrive.”

“I'd like to introduce you to him soon.”

Hearing this, Kiana nodded with a smile and said.

“Oh? Thanks.”

Chen Xu said without a doubt.

He understood that Kiana was trying to help him expand his connections.

“Where is he? Where is he?”

“The guy who refused to become the Destroyer’s Emissary is here?”
