Chapter 568: Chapter 561: BLeem165

Unfortunately, the Celestial Armament still showed no reaction; clearly, the idea of activating it with a drop of blood was just from reading too many martial arts novels.

"Second Brother, you didn't get a fake, did you?" Jeris couldn't help but voice his doubts. Even if one couldn't master the Celestial Armament, it shouldn't have absolutely no reaction at all.

Li Hao was stunned. He felt the opponent was a Celestial, and they had fought a great battle against a Void creature; if the weapon used wasn't a Celestial Armament, then what was it? Could it really be a poor wretch using a fake?

"Do the Celestials even produce fakes?"

This one sentence left everyone stunned. Polina couldn't help but smile.

"That shouldn't be the case. In other words, our method is wrong. The power of the Celestials is called Universe Power. Have you all understood this type of power? Perhaps power is the key to activation. Also, could the Celestial Armament have something like a Gene Lock, and not be a mass-produced item?"

"Highly likely, but there still shouldn't be zero reaction," Kevin said.

"We have very little data right now, but by comparison, this sword feels different in its patterns and sensation from the Celestial Armament in our records."

"Let me try," Li Hao said.

"Universe Power is just one form of power."

Hearing these words come from Li Hao's mouth, no one present felt it was strange, because he was Li Hao.

With a wave of his hand, the Celestial Armament fell into Li Hao's grasp. Li Hao examined the weapon. This thing had been in his hands for a while; he had actually found it quite handy for starting fires and chopping wood. During that time, all his energy had been on his Golden Cell, so he really hadn't paid much attention to this object.

A golden light flashed in his eyes, the Golden Zone opened, and his power delved deep. The longsword immediately let out a piercing shriek. The sword body itself actually erupted with powerful force, vibrating wildly, and even extended tentacles like liquid to attack Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't have much of a reaction, letting these liquid things attack him, but they couldn't move once they were ten centimeters away from him. Following that, the power of the Golden Zone began to strengthen, forcibly enveloping the longsword. At this moment, the longsword's reaction was also jaw-dropping; it erupted with bright light from the center of the blade, as if it were conscious and wanted to... self-destruct???

The Celestial Armament even had such a function, and the energy level produced made even Romero feel his heart jump. Yet, for some reason, everyone present, besides being interested, didn't feel afraid at all.

It seemed that as long as Li Hao was there, the sky would not fall.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Hao's mouth. This little thing actually had consciousness; it was quite stubborn. His right hand pointed directly at the core of the energy. The longsword vibrated wildly, wanting to break free from Li Hao's restraint, but Li Hao's power seemed inexhaustible, powerful yet possessing extreme resilience. Through this process, Li Hao gradually understood the Celestial Armament. This thing really had something to it; it was actually similar to a type of living matter, not the kind of life humans understood—it felt like a parasite.

The power began to increase. The liquid form of the Celestial Armament solidified into a full-body humanoid armor to resist Li Hao's attack. Even Romero and the others could feel that this armor had shifted from offense to defense. The current vibration wasn't a struggle, but trembling... Li Hao's side seemed...

"Second Brother, Second Brother, don't break it!" Kevin shouted loudly.

Li Hao was stunned.

"Oh, this little thing is quite interesting."

He withdrew his power, and the Celestial Armament instantly liquefied from its solid state and retracted, merging back into the longsword. The entire process was breathtaking.

"Second Brother, why do I feel like this isn't a Celestial Armament? Although it's very similar to the data we obtained, it seems much more advanced than a standard Celestial Armament?" Kevin asked. Many people around them realized this problem too.

Over the past year, as the core combat tool of the Anthem, the Celestial Armament had long been incorporated into the most in-depth human research. The Celestial Armament was no secret, and they could access it. The Solar System side had even bought some at high prices for research, and it wasn't the same type as this one.

"Ah, could it be a different model?"

"No, this isn't the same level of object. Is it possible that this is the legendary Imperial Artifact the Celestials speak of?" Jeris suddenly said.

"I heard that it's a type of weapon the Celestials revere as a supreme treasure. It seems Imperial Artifacts don't need any armament box; they are a type of materialized weapon form."

In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up. Kevin and the others swarmed

up and held the Celestial Armament like a treasure, even looking at Li Hao with a bit of disdain.

"Second Brother, be gentle. We only have this one treasure. If you break it, you'll have to be responsible for finding another."

Romero and the others stifled their laughter, looking at the frustrated Li Hao. This was truly more unjust than Dou E, but what could he do? As long as Li Hao didn't have to pay money, it wasn't a big deal.

After putting the sword away, everyone immediately surrounded Li Hao again. This was a certainty; the more they thought about it, the more plausible it felt. This was nine-tenths likely a real Imperial Artifact. They needed to deeply understand the keys to an Imperial Artifact, and incidentally, they chased away the idlers who were there to watch the show.

Just like that, Li Hao had just left the wolf's den only to enter the tiger's mouth. This group was even more ruthless than Polina. Polina basically acted without talking much, but these people were a mental bombardment. The questions were as numerous as ox hair, and each one was the type that could go on for hours without stopping. Li Hao felt like there were countless ducks quacking away. The key was that every sentence started with "Second Brother," so he had to answer whatever they said, whether he wanted to or not.

Later, even Romero couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't a problem of the Celestial Armament's power, but rather that it involved quite technical levels. He had dozed off several times listening to it, and Polina chased him away. He was an Insectoid, yet he still snored.

Romero wasn't convinced either. Who said an Insectoid couldn't snore? He still had one-third human composition, alright?

Everything has its nemesis. Romero would rather go deal with military issues.

It was three days later when Romero saw Li Hao again. Looking at the usually invincible Li Hao's pale complexion, he felt that he was already weary of life.

"Romero, does the Star River Alliance have no reaction? With Larutu protesting so much, aren't they sending people to catch me?" Li Hao couldn't stay in this ghost place of Kepler any longer. Before, having just one Polina was enough, but now Kevin and the others were also crazy, staring at him every day asking this and that. He felt like there were countless bees buzzing in his brain. It was too miserable. Really, he would rather be Blee-ed than be surrounded by a group of curious babies he couldn't hit or scold. It was too terrifying.

Romero looked sympathetic. He understood this feeling; Polina was the same toward him. But after all, she was his beloved, so it was acceptable. Li Hao's situation was a bit tragic.

"I'm afraid that's a bit difficult."

Romero laughed heartily. Except for his own people, who else could make things difficult for Li Hao? The time Li Hao had been back was the period Romero felt he had lived most like a human. The Governor's mansion had become lively, had vitality, and life had a goal, instead of being filled with trepidation.

The prospects for Kepler were very, very good. He also knew Li Hao wouldn't stay long. Human civilization was about to pass its protection period, and the real malice was yet to come. They needed to prepare as quickly as possible. Of course, just defending was hopeless. Whether it was the Celestials or other powerful civilizations, they had to understand them deeply. Of course, Kepler would also face a series of tests.

Blee65: Head to Diwu Star to judge the Anthem and help Hermia ascend as Empress.

For the first time, Li Hao appreciated Da B Ge a little. He was finally going to escape the days of being a test subject.

The top-tier Anthem of the Heavenly Human World, the Ozil Empire's Judgment Anthem, had begun its new round of recruitment, selecting the most outstanding Anthem Warriors. The newsroom became a hot topic for the entire Star River because this year was an extremely special year. The Imperial Princess Hermia would come of age this year, and at the same time, the Judgment Anthem of Diwu Star would host the triennial Heavenly Human World Anthem's

"Holy Grail War."

Li Hao finally embarked on a new journey, far away from a group of experimental maniacs.

In essence, Diwu Star, where the Ozil Empire was located, was also the origin star of the Celestials. It once possessed the glory of the peak of the Celestials' brilliance. It was just that during a thousand years of civil strife, the other two major forces united with most civilizations to dismantle the core of the Empire, and eventually, the Empire's glory perished. Of course, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Galasta and the Seventh Art didn't really want to completely destroy their own origin. Preserving the Ozil Empire was also a deterrent to other civilizations. They also knew that several other civilizations possessed the power to contend with the Celestials, which was how this balance was finally reached.

Li Hao's destination this time was precisely the origin planet of the Ozil Empire in the Virgo constellation, Virgo B-26, also known as Diwu Star. It was currently considered the third-largest planet of Ozil, the Diwu Judgment Anthem, to accept the trial of the Judgment Anthem.

"Human, you staring at me like this is very impolite," the Mechanical Race said.

Li Hao didn't pay much attention to his awe of Ten Thousand Star City

and its grandeur. He had seen the world; humans had also built quite a few Space Cities, but compared to the scale and prosperity of Ten Thousand Star City, they were completely like children playing with mud. The size of this Space City was entirely that of a large planet. He didn't know what provided the energy. The spaceport was three-dimensional and 360 degrees, and it seemed that entry was layered according to rank. The Star River Alliance was very strict about the division of ranks, and one enjoyed corresponding permissions according to their rank. This was also the core of maintaining the order of the Star River Alliance, which upper-level civilizations would all uphold. The projections on the buildings were everywhere, with giant promotional posters of various Star Alliance Warriors.

"Brother, your texture is truly amazing, the luster is as dazzling as a star!" Li Hao laughed.

The serious Mechanical Race suddenly felt a bit pleased.

"You have an eye for it! I just had a beauty treatment yesterday, isn't it beautiful!"

"That is quite stunning!" In the information Li Hao had absorbed, there seemed to be something about the Mechanical Race; they especially liked it when others praised their material quality.

Organic life forms were all about the same in the eyes of the Mechanical Race. Feeling that Li Hao was very easy to get along with, the Mechanical Race opened the floodgates of conversation. In essence, the aloof Mechanical Race were mostly chatterboxes, unless they had suffered some trauma. Li Hao didn't need to speak for the rest of the journey; the Mechanical Race almost self-answered and introduced Ten Thousand Star City to Li Hao. Li Hao, of course, cared about the place he was going to, Diwu Star, and the situation of the Judgment Anthem.
