Chapter 608: The First Human Sergeant Major on the Heavenly Ladder

The Holy Judgment Squad of the Omniscient Anthem arrived, and they were stunned by the scene before them. Such a situation was extremely rare even within the Anthem. Although they knew there was conflict between Orcs and Humans, and many civilizations harbored grudges, things usually didn't get this outrageous once they reached the Anthem. They also knew the Orcs were always causing trouble for Humans, but they hadn't expected the Orcs to resort to killing. Seeing the residual barrier in the surroundings, they roughly understood what had happened and immediately began directing rescue efforts.

Depuya fell backward, head tilted up. He didn't care about anything anymore; he didn't know what had happened, but at least he had survived. Trust Brother Xin, you won't die, no matter the ends of the earth.

Far away at the Ruling Anthem, the unease that had been lingering in Li Hao's heart finally vanished. He didn't know what had happened, only that he was more determined to raise his banner quickly. Otherwise, there was no telling what others might encounter. It would be best to attract all the hatred toward himself. Damn it, he had still gone too easy on them.

Because of his concern, Li Hao lost the mood to continue fighting for the moment. Just as he was preparing to leave, his body suddenly trembled, and a burst of golden light emerged. Li Hao's expression was very strange, and it carried an inexplicable sense of power...

This?

The portion of Golden Cells that had been lacking power was suddenly full. It was still his own power, but something was wrong somewhere. When these powers returned to the Golden Cells, this portion of the Golden Cells underwent a change.

Li Hao did not linger; he quickly returned to his residence, closed the door, and entered a state of soul introspection.

Every Golden Cell contained pure energy. Li Hao believed this was a Small Universe, but this energy was not his. Unlike the self-recovery of the past, this power had to be replenished, and it required extremely pure and powerful energy. When he had devoured Theseus, it hadn't lasted for many uses. During Quantum Tunneling, the Golden Cells were the key to ensuring his survival, and it was by relying on the power of a Void creature even purer than Theseus that he had been able to replenish them. However, this was a double-edged sword. Li Hao could be very certain of how dangerous he was after losing control, and once he lost control, he wouldn't know what he had done, or even if he had been controlled by Bleem. This was also the reason he had been controlling himself—so he wouldn't end up becoming the shell Bleem needed.

But now, a turning point had arrived. That portion of the Golden Cells had undergone a change; the power that returned seemed... seemed to possess activity. Yes, these Golden Cells seemed to have acquired perfect vitality, capable of forming a self-repairing cycle. They were completely different from the ones around them; they were no longer containers for holding powerful energy, but had truly become Golden Cells capable of generating power.

Li Hao cautiously consumed and released a bit of power. Sure enough, after losing a little power, the Golden Cells naturally replenished themselves.

Li Hao was also dumbfounded. What was this situation?

After he responded to a certain call, his power was indeed "borrowed," but the power that was returned—with interest—actually possessed "activity," and it had even influenced the Golden Cells. The Golden Cells were no longer just simple containers.

He didn't need his whole body; if more than half of his Golden Cells became like this, no matter what mission Bleem made him execute, he would no longer lose control.

But... how exactly did it happen, how could it continue to happen, or was it uncontrollable? Now he was more concerned about who was calling him and what the current situation was.

But there was no way; Li Hao could only wait. He had to control his mindset and emotions.

With his understanding of Celestial Technology, it was very wise that a war hadn't broken out. Human interstellar capabilities were not weak; even though much had been destroyed in the Battle of Kepler, they would recover very quickly if they truly went into full-scale production. However, they lagged far behind in terms of technology. The mainstream Human Nuclear Power Engine, when faced with an Antimatter Engine, or even the Celestial Eternal Crystal, had no power to resist. At the level of an Antimatter Engine, it was still possible to acquire one, but the Eternal Crystal belonged to the core secrets of the Celestial Civilization.

Humans still had advantages. Although there was a gap between our civilization and the Celestial Civilization, if we could obtain technical support, we could see initial results in five to ten years. And Celestial Armament and advanced warships could be equipped, which could immediately form combat power.

A Youyou was constantly absorbing knowledge, all so that one day she could be of help.

Suddenly, Haila burst in, full of energy. "A Youyou, take a look, is it him?"

A Youyou saved the data and looked at Haila. "What could possibly make you this surprised?"

Haila pointed at the 3D pop-up window, her eyes full of curiosity. "Look at this, the Anthem Ladder of the Zhuque War Zone, 85th place, Level 40 Sergeant Major, Li Hao. Is it him?"

A Youyou's heart also skipped a beat. Although her expression remained calm, she was inwardly nervous. As a Sergeant, she knew the Anthem very well, but the more she knew, the more she felt the vastness of the Star River and the insignificance of Humans. She knew that with the senior's strength, he was definitely more than just a Sergeant; it was just that he had to face the suppression of the Anthem's rules. A conservative estimate was that it would take at least a year to find a way, because when one's strength was particularly outstanding, one would always attract the attention of some battle squads. As long as one secured a spot, one could enjoy the merits of squad missions.

Li Hao had charisma and leadership, even in the Star River.

But to leap directly to Sergeant Major and enter the Heavenly Ladder—even A Youyou found it hard to believe.

"This person's profile is a bit simple. Ruling Anthem, and it's actually only his first year. His place of origin is Earth in the Solar System... is it him?" Haila asked.

A Youyou could no longer hold back and hurriedly opened her Star Swift. In the Shengge System, the Heavenly Ladders of the Four Great War Zones were undoubtedly

the most eye-catching. There were at least hundreds of Anthems in each war zone. Not every planet had an Anthem; the traditional inheritance and learning systems of various civilizations still existed, but only those in an Anthem could be recognized by the Star Alliance. Among third-tier civilizations, an entire civilization might only have one; they were all elites chosen from millions.

For an individual Anthem, the competition was already fierce. When scaled up to a war zone, the difficulty could be imagined. Li Hao had broken through the shackles in a short time and furiously climbed the Heavenly Ladder.

A Youyou nodded excitedly. "Yes, finally found him!"

Once he climbed the Heavenly Ladder, A Youyou would be able to contact him. She hurriedly found Li Hao's personal page to leave a message, and the rest was just waiting for Li Hao to contact her.

Earth and the Moon had felt far apart, but she hadn't expected them to be separated by star systems now.

Haila was also slightly impressed. "This person really has something. He only entered the Ruling Anthem this year. How long has it been, and he's already killing his way up the Heavenly Ladder, and as a Human! It's incredible!"

A Youyou smiled sweetly, her face showing pride. "He is the strongest Warrior of us Humans!"

"But not stronger than my brother!" Haila was still very certain about this point. Her brother was the number one on the Azure Dragon War Zone Heavenly Ladder. The gap between 85th and number one was still very significant. "A Youyou, shall we make a bet?"

"Oh?"

A Youyou looked at the cunning Haila. "The time limit?"

A Youyou frowned. "Is this time a bit too short?"

A Youyou's eyes lit up. "Haila, you are nakedly tempting me, but you cannot force me."

Haila dragged A Youyou away. A Youyou had no choice; ever since arriving at the Libra Anthem, not only she, but Maxis and the others had received a lot of help from Haila. It was hard to refuse such kindness.

Maxis and the others, who were also at the Libra Anthem, had all discovered it. At first, they thought their eyes were playing tricks on them, but they found it was actually true. Everyone was ecstatic. Maxis and the others frantically contacted everyone they could. This was simply incredible. They knew Li Hao would definitely be able to fight his way out because he was Li Hao, the leader who had led them to win the Kepler War. They just never dreamed that Li Hao would be so fierce the moment he arrived at the Ruling Anthem.

"Maxis, are you drunk?" Basta said in a deep voice. Basta, who had received the Star Swift, was completely bewildered. He certainly knew Li Hao was much stronger than them, but the Shengge System wasn't just about having strength; this was entirely the enslavement of lower civilizations by higher ones.

"Haha, Basta, I knew you wouldn't believe it," Maxis laughed. The more rational a person was, the more this was the case. "Go see for yourself, we're celebrating tonight!"

Maxis didn't mince words. Li Hao's breakthrough was not just one person's breakthrough; it greatly encouraged Human Warriors scattered all over the Star River. As long as one person could do it, other Human followers would definitely find a way to do it, and Li Hao would directly break the Shengge System's blockade on Humans.

Chao Qinglong, Luo Bi, Aofei, Wuzang, Zhou Naiyi, and others had also seen it. They were at the Seventh Art's Heavenly Dragon Anthem, and their excitement and joy could be imagined. There were quite a few from the Apocalypse group here as well. Chao Qinglong had been resisting; his strength was more than just Open Heavenly Eye, and combined with his ability characteristics, he was considered somewhat famous in the Heavenly Dragon. However, the problem they faced was that they couldn't fight their way out and were also vaguely ostracized. If Li Hao could continue to forge ahead, it would greatly improve the view of Humans held by the various Anthems. When it came to taking missions, the discrimination against Humans would also decrease. In fact, to this day, the combat capabilities of Luo Bi and the others were really no worse than some Sergeants, and they had rich combat experience. In terms of coordination, they were also quite full of wisdom. Humans were essentially the same as Celestials, but they understood team cohesion better than Celestials.

Anthems all over the Star River, wherever there were Humans, began to discover this one after another. Even the Shengge System began to publish news about it, because this was the first Human Warrior to enter the Heavenly Ladder, and also the first Sergeant Major. Either way, it was a milestone.
