Chapter 653: The Yimogu Rebellion
Although they had not known each other for long, Li Hao felt that Fronzo was truly well-intentioned toward them, and he was also a powerhouse focused on the study of Heavenly Martial Arts. Being an orphan himself, Li Hao could understand Cheng Konghai; not everyone had his luck to meet a dean and have a complete childhood.
The victory banquet in the evening began. Kuta displayed another side of himself as a social butterfly of the financial clique. This time, he was not standing in the shadow of Aoliweina, but on his own home turf; he was finally turning things around. Helena, Ning Long, Sailiwei, Didiao, and a host of other key members of the Dragon Alliance were all invited. One had to give face to the new Dragon Elder, and this was also because Li Hao had fought fiercely enough in that battle.
Gaia and Gasimi were both wearing evening gowns; they didn't need to worry about these things, as Kuta had long since prepared them. Luo Bi was also surrounded by people. He was a natural socialite, and once he arrived at Li Hao's side, he had no more reservations. When he was at the Heavenly Dragon Anthem, he had to suppress himself and be cautious, but now he didn't care and displayed himself to his heart's content. Gaia also let go, thinking that Haosen would likely not target her for a long time.

A Sergeant Major is constrained by the order of the Anthem, but the Dragon Alliance is transcendent. Every Dragon Elder is a prominent figure, and they also have close ties with the Dragon Race.
"Li Hao, how does it feel to be the center of attention?" Helena was wearing her favorite sexy black evening gown, which made her full breasts look even fairer. The key was that her waist was also very thin; the sexiness of the Celestial on her had already broken through the sky. The Celestials were never stingy about the pursuit and display of beauty, making Li Hao not know whether to look or not. Pervert!
And this point was also seized upon by Helena; women cannot help but want to tease such a powerhouse.
"What attention? I just luckily won a match," Li Hao laughed. Everyone was drinking red wine. In terms of drinks, Kuta had completely abandoned those of the Celestials and Sea People, serving only those of the Humans. Besides, it was also a form of promotion, killing two birds with one stone.
"When did you discover that you were a Stellar Body?" Helena had a pile of questions in her heart. High Priest Shilada must have hidden something. Could this kid really be... an illegitimate child? Moreover, he seemed to be an orphan in the Human world as well, a point he had not hidden.
"With your soul state, it is the strongest advantage among many soul fluctuations. Many emperors and heroes have this kind of soul state."
"I really didn't know that. It's just a kind of power, I suppose. Everyone has their own characteristics."
"Today we are celebrating Li Hao becoming a Dragon Elder, shouldn't we avoid digging so deep? Shall we dance?" Ning Long took the initiative to invite him. As the main core of the Star Casting Dragon Alliance's Ruling Division, she and Li Hao were already bound together. The future achievements of the Ruling Dragon Alliance would also affect Ning Long's evaluation within the Dragon Race.
She had originally thought it would be Defatandisi.
"I really don't know how to do this," Li Hao said with a bitter smile.
"No wonder you had to steal the technique," Helena teased.
"Let Ning Long teach you. I won't fight her for it today."
Amidst the applause of the crowd, Li Hao was helplessly pulled away by Ning Long. This was also a habit of the Star Alliance. Although his posture was stiff, with Li Hao's strength, he could actually dance decently after getting familiar with it for a while. The people around them found dance partners one after another; Luo Bi was even more of a natural, already hitting it off with a sexy Celestial beauty.

However, just as the atmosphere of the entire venue was at its peak, the alarm sounded loudly, and the entire Ruling Anthem resounded with shrill whistling.
The expressions of everyone at the venue changed drastically, clearly realizing something. The first person they associated this with was Haosen. Ning Long's expression was very grave. An important task for her coming to the Ruling this time was to help the imperial power transition smoothly and avoid civil war. If a civil war broke out, she would need to protect Hermia's ascension. Now, it was clearly the worst-case scenario. It was evident that after Haosen's failure, the Yimogu Family had also completely given up their illusions, but she hadn't expected the other side to act so quickly.
Or rather, they had been preparing for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity.
But Helena remained calm. "Everyone, quiet. Haosen and the Yimogu Family have launched a rebellion, but everything is under control. The defense system of the Ruling Anthem has been activated. Group Leader Los has already led the Royal Imperial Guard to meet the enemy. Haosen and the others are just clowns. I must trouble everyone to maintain stability within the Ruling. I believe everyone is on the same front as the Ozil Empire!"
The crowd was still very shocked to hear this news. Although they knew such a possibility existed, a rebellion of this level had not appeared among the three major Celestial forces for over a hundred years. Power struggles were constant, but this was the first time it had evolved into a military mutiny. It could be seen that the disappearance of Emperor Augustus had indeed given the Mogu Family great courage.
"Everyone, please go back and gather your fellow clansmen and Warriors. Wait for further news. If you are willing to fight to defend the Ruling Anthem, I welcome it with both hands and will remember this friendship. Any act of helping the Yimogu Family will be regarded as a declaration of war against the Ozil Empire!" At this moment, Helena released the dominance she held as an Anthem Committee Member.
"Helena, how is the situation now? If there is anything you need my help with, just say it!" Ning Long quickly made a judgment. She had to fully support Hermia. With the outbreak of war, she had already fallen into a passive position. If the rebellion succeeded, she would also have to face judgment from the Dragon Race.
Helena nodded. She knew the Dragon Race's intention was to have the Ozil Empire and the Seventh Art form an alliance, but in terms of maintaining orthodoxy, the Dragon Race would definitely stand on Hermia's side.
The light of Universe Power from the entire Ruling Anthem shone in the night sky, and the Sacred Song Announcement had been fully sent out. In fact, when they received the news, Shilada and Hermia had already made the first response. Hermia was presiding over the Ruling Anthem; at this time, the Ruling was the safest place, with Los leading the protection of the Imperial Guard, plus the impregnable defense of the Ruling Anthem. The key to the matter was space. Shilada had already headed to the First Royal Fleet of the Ozil Empire, which was the fleet protecting Diwu Star. As long as Diwu Star was protected, the Yimogu rebellion would go bankrupt. This rebellion should be led by the Mogu Family. Once the Council of Elders and the Ruling Committee reacted, they would definitely provide support, and the combat power of the First Royal Fleet was no worse than the Dead Ash Legion of the Yimogu.
Compared to the kingly demeanor of the Augustus Family and the selfishness and cruelty of the Mogu Family, even if they usually acted out of interest, in the face of major issues of right and wrong, the Titius Family's thinking was very clear. Although the Emperor was missing, the influence of the royal family remained, and the foundation of the people was still there. Would they rebel just because the Princess's strength was not strong?
The strength of the Mogu Family had expanded significantly over these years.
Lavitan was placed by Shilada beside Haosen, and even the tug-of-war in Lavitan's pursuit of Helena was all an act, but Helena was unaware of this. The only ones who knew about this were Hermia and Shilada. This was also the key to why Hermia would speak to keep Lavitan after he lost to Cheng Konghai; Lavitan certainly could not leave the Ruling. It was just that they really hadn't expected the Mogu Family to launch a rebellion at this point in time.
It was truly fortunate that Lavitan notified them in time, allowing the First Royal Fleet to prepare in haste; otherwise, it would have been too late once the Dead Ash Fleet of Yimogu entered the airspace of Diwu Star.
In space, the dense Yimogu fleet was completing a Space Jump, lining up in the space of Diwu Star, while the First Fleet led by General Shilada had also completed its formation. At the same time, the air defense forces of Diwu Star were fully activated, but the Dead Ash Fleet had not yet entered the attack range of the ground forces of Diwu Star.
The First Royal Fleet stood in front of Diwu Star; protecting Diwu Star was the top priority. The Patriarch of the Yimogu Family, Wanjie Yimogu, the number one person in the Council of Elders, could be said to be the most powerful existence in the Ozil Empire in recent years, looking coldly at the distribution on the big screen.
"Have the fleet prepare, launch a general attack in ten minutes!" In this battle, the winner takes all. They needed to resolve the battle within 20 hours; this was the shortest time for other fleets to react after learning the news. Taking Diwu Star and capturing Hermia alive was the ideal result—to hold the Princess to command the vassals. If that didn't work, then they would only have to destroy Diwu Star. With the group leaderless, they would either submit to him or fall into civil war, but either way, it would be the arrival of a new era for Yimogu.

The Yimogu Family had waited a long, long time for this day. Emperors take turns sitting on the throne; today it was Yimogu's turn. Wanjie's heart was surging, already imagining his own imperial posture.
