Chapter 630: Polina is Pregnant

Li Hao caused some ripples within the Anthem, but these ripples had mostly faded by the next day. In the vast Star River, there are too many outstanding individuals; he changed the impression of Humans slightly, but not by much. Of course, here at the Judgment Anthem, he is a bona fide celebrity, having already ascended to the ranks of the strongest in Judgment as a Warrior of a new civilization.

Li Hao also received feedback from Kevin: the Solar System mission was completed successfully, Makemu, Wufa, and others successfully seized power, and Long Danni became the diplomat for the Solar System in charge of Kepler. They had basically achieved the best state they could imagine, except that Dasha ultimately ran into trouble. Fortunately, Annie had taken precautions in advance, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Our technology cannot track the Ring-shaped Spaceship, and we don't know the specific situation. It's a pity. Second Brother, who do you think is behind this?" Kevin was still quite curious. "The other party is targeting us specifically; could it be the Orcs?"

"It shouldn't be. The Orcs don't have that much power. By the way, I met Xilian here. Currently, he hasn't shown any signs of being related to this matter. Of course, even if it were him, it would probably be impossible to tell." Li Hao spoke, briefly explaining the situation. Kevin was stunned; he had thought the person who failed the most in the Apocalypse had actually transformed into the heir of a powerful noble family in the Seventh Art, and was even stirring up trouble in the Judgment Anthem, wanting to marry the Princess.

If Xilian succeeded, not only would his status in the Seventh Art rise, but he could also greatly utilize the power of the Ozil Empire...

"Damn it, this guy is too shameless, actually wanting to live off a woman. Second Brother, I want to go to Judgment to take a look. Woo, what kind of divine place is that?" Kevin was envious. In the vast universe, he once thought reaching Kepler was the end of the world, but he didn't expect the outside world to be even broader and more wonderful.

"I'll think of a way. My standing here in Judgment isn't high yet. Let's wait until things are stable." The things Li Hao has been handling recently are quite troublesome; it's safer to get things cleared up first.

As for Xilian's matter, he currently cannot get involved. Regardless of whether Dasha was a test intentionally set by Xilian, he has to take it one step at a time. Moreover, he really wants to figure out how Xilian did it. This might involve the realm of Soul Power, which means that in the future, to eliminate an enemy, it won't be about destroying the body, but the soul.

"Okay, Second Brother, I'm the first one, remember I'm the first one." Kevin nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice. "By the way, is Princess Hermia good-looking? I've heard about her even in Kepler, known as the number one beauty in the Star River. Is there any exaggeration?"

"I really don't know about that; I haven't seen her."

Li Hao was between laughter and tears. The curiosity of this group of people transcends their fear of death. He didn't take the matter regarding Dasha to heart either. As for things targeting him, he doesn't care; it's best if they all come his way. It's like killing two birds with one stone—since he's idle anyway.

"What the hell, Polina is pregnant???" Hearing the news, Li Hao's mouth hung wide open. This is possible too? Romero is that awesome?

"Haha, Romero said he finally has one thing he's better at than you, hehe." Kevin laughed. "This guy is the first among us to have a child, it's incredible. His personality has changed drastically. Can you imagine the gentle look of a giant Insectoid? I'm numb. Second Brother, I want to find a girlfriend too. Can you introduce me to one who is smarter and has big breasts?"

Li Hao curled his lips. Damn, if it weren't for them living in two different places, maybe he could have...

The biggest crisis in Kepler has been resolved, and it should enter a honeymoon period with the Solar System for a while. This is also a precious development period for Kepler. Once he gets his equipment and the Anthem is established, Kepler will officially be on the right track. This still needs to be approached from the Judgment side. He still needs to be a bit high-profile to get in touch with General Shilada. Building an Anthem is something that, if he can get the support of an Empire General, the success rate will definitely increase significantly. With multiple identities, Shilada is definitely one of the core figures of the Ozil Empire's ruling class.

At this moment, inside the Hall of Valor of the Judgment Anthem, Helena was reporting the situation to High Priest Shilada, while Hermia was winking at Helena as she watched her busy appearance.

"High Priest, that's basically it. The deal with Li Hao has been reached, but Lord Fronzo didn't manage to research anything from his Soul Power. This person's power is strange; our methods actually didn't work." Helena said. Although they had fought, that level was like playing house for both sides. It was only after seeing Li Hao's battle with the Orcs that she realized this person's cultivation is a bit mixed. It looks like Ice and Fire, but in reality, it is very different from the Celestial method, but this will be of great help in challenging Haosen.

Shilada smiled slightly. "Don't worry too much about this. Let's observe his performance first. Helena, you go back first; the Princess and I still have something to discuss."

Helena bowed respectfully and left, not forgetting to wink at Hermia on her way out; the two had plans for the evening to go out and have fun together.

High Priest Shilada looked at Hermia with affection. "What do you think of this person?"

Hermia smiled slightly and asked mischievously, "Master, which aspect are you referring to?"

Shilada shook her head helplessly. There is a crucial link in Hermia's succession, which can be said to determine whether the imperial power is stable. Haosen is just one link, but not the most critical one.

The reason for giving Li Hao such "treatment" is, of course, not because Li Hao is special. In essence, there are countless people like Humans in the history of the Judgment Anthem, and there are no shortage of people more talented than Li Hao. When Li Hao arrived at the Judgment Anthem and quickly attracted the attention of the High Priest, and she arranged for Helena and Fronzo to examine him, it was mainly because before the previous High Priest followed the Emperor to the Creation Pillar, he had left a prophecy saying that it must be opened in the year the Princess comes of age. It only had two strange symbols on it. It wasn't until Humans joined the Star River Alliance and Human language and characters were recorded that they understood the meaning: Li Hao.

And this is the reason why Hermia values him, but she doesn't know to what extent a Human's power can reach, nor does she know what Li Hao's inclination is—whether he is a help or a hindrance. But since it was left by the previous High Priest, it should be inclined towards the former, but it is very likely that even the High Priest could not judge what exactly it is.

So she let Hermia try to make contact herself, and Hermia has been observing for a while, so she must have some insights.

Hermia stuck out her tongue. She has been having a bit of fun recently and even drank alcohol. Without the constraints of her status, she is very relaxed. That's right, she is the Mechanical Race's Kashika, using the Imperial Artifact—the Night King Mask. She can disguise herself as anyone and won't be discovered. This was also an important prop for Emperor Augustus during his interstellar travels to be a romantic figure in the Star River, changing identities to experience different lives. And for Hermia, it's very simple: the identity of Kashika of the Mechanical Race allows her to see the other side of people as an ordinary member of the Mechanical Race.

In the state of a Princess, everything around her is always beautiful; everyone shows their best side, trying hard to please her, and there are all kinds of people trying to attract her attention. Master once said that her status, her appearance, and everything about her determine that there are only lies around her, unless she changes her identity.

Hermia has been disguised as Kashika for more than five years. From the initial novelty to seeing the ugliness, the double-faced nature, and other negative states, she finally truly gained an understanding of life. Moreover, she began to enjoy this state of watching the Anthem as a bystander. Being a member of the Mechanical Race also has a benefit: she doesn't need to express too much, and she has seen those gentlemen who were gentle and elegant in front of her become manic, violent, arrogant, and rude at the Anthem Center.

This is probably the part that Haosen, Lavitan, and the others can't figure out no matter how hard they try. Clearly, she is a flower being protected, and logically speaking, she should be easy to manipulate, but it just doesn't work. Even the one who ruined Lavitan's pursuit of Helena was Hermia. Hermia is very clear about their goals, so Lavitan is also very distressed. He is quite good at picking up girls, but Helena is always very guarded against him.

Only High Priest Shilada knows that Hermia uses the Imperial Artifact to disguise herself as Kashika; Helena and Los do not know.

Therefore, Hermia's life is not boring at all; on the contrary, she can live very clearly and interestingly as a bystander. Perhaps it is because she has seen too much of the servility of the weak, she helps when she can. She has saved more than just Li Hao; there were others in previous Anthem tests. Of course, this person is indeed special, and the High Priest asked her to observe this person.

This person happens to be very interesting. He is truly stingy, wanting to squeeze even the benefits of the Mechanical Race, but he is also truly generous when spending money for Humans. He is usually quite polite to people. If you say he has a good temper, he strikes hard against the Orcs. The Dao Ku were beaten so badly they didn't dare to show their faces in the Anthem. Several Heavenly Ranking Orcs were even worse; it is said that Lafayanmowu and Mona Ku are both finished. This is definitely a heavy blow to the ambitious Orcs who are developing power in the Anthem... The last 1 million was because she was anxious and made a wrong judgment. If it were her, she wouldn't have rushed up if she were Diduowu.

"Clear-cut in grievances and grudges," Hermia said.

Shilada smiled. "Oh?"

"A person who lives casually but has clear goals. Cooperating with him, as long as you are sincere, you can achieve your goals," Hermia said. Observation and thinking can better grasp human nature. And from the appearance of the Dao Ku—yes, Hermia went there and saw it—it was obvious that the Dao Ku was not normal. Li Hao is not as simple as he looks, but he is very good to his friends. When he was teaching Gaia, Kuta, and Gasimi, he was also giving genuine guidance. She can understand that, although he has certain motives for getting close to her, who doesn't have some motives?

"That can be considered a very high evaluation. Then let's look forward to his performance later," Shilada nodded. The previous High Priest, who was also her master, had unfathomable cultivation. This is a realm she has yet to reach. Of course, it is also because the Emperor's actions caused the inheritance to be interrupted, and she can only explore many of the priests' abilities by herself.

"Master, do you think Humans are really our Celestial Seed Project?" Hermia asked curiously. "Everyone says so, but I checked the classics, and there is no mention of this part."

"I really don't know about this. If you are interested, you can study it," Shilada stroked Hermia's long hair. "What do you think of Defatandisi?"
