Chapter 615: Level 99 Sergeant Major

Depuya nodded desperately, and everyone realized that the opportunity for humanity's rise had arrived, especially Chao Qinglong and the others. Their power was not weak among the various Anthems, but they lacked the ability to control the situation like Li Hao did. They had to be strong enough to bridge the gap to have any space for a low-level civilization, and now, the opportunity seemed to have arrived.

"Change the situation with facts," Basta said in a deep voice.

Chao Qinglong, Maxis, and the others were actually second only to Li Hao. They had been biding their time for over a year, and they saw the power of an Anthem Warrior more clearly now. The only thing they lacked was the alpha wolf to lead them in a breakthrough, and they believed that Li Hao's actions were not reckless, but that he must have considered the current situation.

Li Hao finished his day's classes and took care of the task at the biology center while he was at it. Although this task was a bit trivial compared to his current rank, he believed in finishing what he started; after all, he had accepted it, and it wouldn't be right to just quit. Carl was also startled when he learned that Li Hao had advanced to Sergeant Major. He had thought the other party wouldn't come again, and when he saw Li Hao once more, Carl's smile couldn't have been brighter.

Of course, happy as he was, there was no extra pay.

After completing the task and saying goodbye to Carl, his Star Swift rang. It was the voice of the Mechanical Race: "Respected Sergeant Major Li Hao, I am a staff member of the Anthem Intelligence Center. You have a special task from the Sacred Song Committee. Please proceed to the Tianwu Yanjiu Zhongxin to complete the task assigned by Lord Fronzo!"

"May I know who issued the task?"

"It is the Sacred Song Committee."

The Sacred Song Committee? Li Hao had some guesses in his heart; it was probably because of his promotion to Sergeant Major. It had been so long, there ought to be some movement.

He opened his Star Swift and searched for the Tianwu Yanjiu Zhongxin. The Tianwu Yanjiu Zhongxin was another very famous place within the Sacred Song. This was where the Sacred Song researched and tested Celestial Armament. Once one became an official Anthem Warrior, they could receive Celestial Armament at their respective Anthem, and the Sacred Song was located at the Tianwu Yanjiu Zhongxin.

He had wanted to go to a place like this for a long time and had been racking his brain for the past two days to find an excuse to sneak in. He hadn't expected someone to provide a pillow just as he was getting sleepy. He couldn't reach the starships; he would have to rely on A Youyou for that. The two cores of the military, warships and Celestial Armament, were also the mission for all warriors leaving the Solar System.

Dekelong looked at the human in front of him with some curiosity. Wasn't this the human Sergeant Major who had recently become famous? Tsk tsk, as a senior instructor at the Sacred Song, he had seen all kinds of geniuses, but it was very rare for someone from a low-level civilization to break records and advance to Sergeant Major. If it had been a Celestial or a Sea Person, they would have been famous everywhere by now.

Li Hao followed Dekelong the whole way, passing through the "workshop" for Celestial Armament. It looked like there were no obstacles, but in reality, there was an invisible layer of energy. He didn't know if it was robots or the Mechanical Race assembling row upon row of Celestial Armament.

"These are equipment for the Lalutu Orcs." Seeing that Li Hao couldn't take his eyes off them, Dekelong smiled. "These export types are handled by engineers from the Mechanical Race, built according to the other party's needs, using fifth-generation technology."

As one of the Sacred Song's revenue-generating projects, military industry was always the biggest earner. Li Hao watched the assembly line, piece after piece of brilliant Beast Armed, and drooled with envy.

Looking at the various types of armor, Li Hao could roughly imagine what they would look like once assembled. "Senior brother, what are the requirements for importing this kind of armament?"

Since he was a Sergeant Major, Dekelong was very enthusiastic. "As long as you aren't in a hostile relationship, money is all you need. It can be customized according to biological characteristics. It shouldn't be a problem for humans to want some, it's just that the cost is a bit high."

"Thank you, senior brother." Li Hao nodded. Actually, if he could get

a batch of Celestial Armament for Kepler, they could quickly form a combat force.

There were many such places along the way, but the further in they went, the less he could see, and there were various intense energy reactions from time to time. He felt K23 inside, which was very familiar. In this process, there were at least a dozen other similar energy fluctuations. His attainments in this area were average; if Jeris could come here, he would definitely have a great harvest. Humanity still had to find ways to send more personnel out to learn.

Arriving at a thick door in the center, Dekelong knocked respectfully. "My Lord, Sergeant Major Li Hao has arrived."

"Let him in!" A deep voice rang out... Through the massive door, Li Hao could feel that the person inside didn't seem quite like a human.

Inside the door and outside were two different worlds. Steaming heat waves rushed toward him; this wasn't heat in terms of temperature, but pure Spirit energy. What met his eyes was a perfect polygonal crystal, five meters high and about two meters wide, in the center of the hall. All the energy originated from it. A beam of light pierced through the dome and then spread out like a spider, supplying energy to the entire Sacred Song. The projected beam illuminated the sky, shooting straight into the firmament.

Standing beside the crystal was a tall figure wearing the unique robes of the Sacred Song. Between his hands was a mass of active material, with countless threads intertwined. With a point of his fingertip, a bolt of Electricity from the Eternal Crystal merged into Fronzo's body. Instantly, his entire body lit up, and his body seemed to expand all at once. Following that, energy was channeled into the threads, and the threads condensed and changed shape.

Li Hao and Dekelong watched silently. This was the art of a master's creation. Dekelong watched without blinking, and Li Hao was the same. This Eternal Crystal was quite interesting; he had already heard about it in previous lessons. It was the pride of the Celestials. Almost all energy drives originated from the Eternal Crystal, from cities to interstellar starships. What kind of energy support was needed to easily digest the weapon system of the Jianibieke Fu Dizhou D Pao?

Energy does not disappear out of thin air. Seeing the real Eternal Crystal, Li Hao understood. It was a usable Dark Energy conversion container. When humanity could fully master nuclear energy and initially use antimatter, humanity entered a Level 1 civilization, while the Celestials could fully master Dark Energy. From planetary weapons to individual Celestial Armament, looking at this pure, perfect crystal carrying the aesthetic of cosmic mysteries, even the well-traveled Li Hao felt the shock of the civilization from it.

The mass of active threads in Fronzo's right hand was also not simple. Li Hao felt the presence of K23 in it, but there were other things with different sensations. Without exception, these elements could all react to Spirit and Dark Energy.

Accompanied by Fronzo's guidance, the energy from his left hand poured into the intertwined threads. The threads suddenly bristled like a startled creature,

and Fronzo manipulated the energy from various angles. His body also presented... energy-fication. A ghost?

But it wasn't. He knew the situation of the Ghost People, and this was definitely not a Ghost Person, but the body could directly serve as a medium for Dark Energy. Li Hao didn't think he had this power unless he had modified himself.

Fronzo frowned. The mass of thread material seemed to want to escape, exploding from its gathered state all at once, but Fronzo's left hand directly formed a circle to enclose all the material, continuing to increase the energy input. Accompanied by a loud bang, those threads exploded completely, forming a mass of gray mist within the circle. When the mist dissipated, only some ash remained in Fronzo's hand.

Fronzo sighed. He had always wanted to figure out the mystery of the power of Imperial Artifacts. Imperial Artifacts were transformed from Celestial Armament and were born from the long-term infiltration of the souls of the strong. Once they transformed into Imperial Artifacts, their power was incomparable. However, there seemed to be a chasm between Celestial Armament and Imperial Artifacts—the transformation from "dead object" to "living object." This was what Fronzo wanted to research.

If he could transform all the Celestial Armament of the entire Celestial warrior force into various types of required Imperial Artifacts for mass production, it was no exaggeration to say that the Ozil Empire would reproduce the glory of the Galactic Empire.

Technology changes the future; this applies to the Celestials as well.

Dekelong knew that the master had failed once again. He coughed lightly, and Fronzo woke up from his failure, turning to look at Dekelong and Li Hao.

Li Hao also saw the owner of the Tianwu Yanjiu Zhongxin before him—a huge Semi-Ghost Body. At this moment, Fronzo's body was bright, and his internal organs and blood vessels looked as if they were being charged. Detached from the Eternal Crystal, the light dissipated, and Fronzo's body returned to normal. He was a tall and fierce Celestial with a full beard. This ruggedness didn't look like someone who did experiments at all.

Fronzo, 99th-level Sergeant Major, the Empire's technological general.
