Chapter 671: Sea Race Brothers
In the past, Li Hao didn't want to die, and now he wanted to die even less. His mutated Golden Cells were at about 2%, and this 2% was the key to his survival. As for the rest, Li Hao intended to see if Brother Da B could bear to let him die; this was a method born of necessity, as this plan truly had no other support.
However, the Soul Coordinate that had unexpectedly appeared on A Youyou had become exceptionally strong since yesterday, raising his survival probability by another few percentage points.
Thinking of A Youyou, a warmth also spread through Li Hao's heart. No matter what, he had to survive; he also had to adjust his own
state to the best it could be!
As long as the strategic goal was reached, Makemu and the others would certainly make full use of it. In fact, the Solar System was not lacking in wisdom; it was just that the power they had come into contact with could not keep up, leading to their tactics also falling behind. The former members of the Tianqi Youth Class had at the very least reached the Universe Flame Peak, while the outstanding ones had entered the Zhou Lan Grade. Those capable of Summoning God had already reached the Thunder Storm Peak, and the strongest few, like Maxis,
had already opened Star Ruin. This might not be worth mentioning when facing those major powers, but it was still quite advantageous when facing a single Orc Space City. Moreover, under conditions of equal Universe Power, human combat strength was stronger.
What was more surprising was that Zhou Naiyi and Dita had come from behind to take the lead. The reason was that the number of times they had performed Summoning God was unimaginably high. In a nearly controllable situation, their soul wavebands were becoming closer and closer to Li Hao's. It seemed that after being healed by Li Hao from their early injuries, their souls had undergone changes. This was also the reason why the two could shine so brightly at the S Tournament. And after the appearance of Summoning God, their Soul Power had experienced a "leap" in improvement.
Under the Universe Power system, it was different from the mechas of the past; the power level almost directly determined the outcome. Only when the Universe Power was similar would combat techniques and abilities decide the winner.
Long Danni was responsible for the Anthem portion. In terms of experience in handling these affairs, Principal Long was absolutely reliable. This really wasn't something you could just sort out by sitting on your hands. Whether it was coordinating the political affairs of Anthem construction or docking with the Star Alliance Anthem personnel, Long Danni could handle it steadily and push it forward smoothly...
Li Hao's mood right now was not to bicker with the Star Alliance. He was adjusting his own power. Regardless of what Bieeml had originally intended, at this moment, he was very grateful to Bieeml for letting him possess such power, allowing him to fight back in times of despair.
As for the consequences of using the Golden Cells, he didn't want to think about them. When Romero went to his death, there was no fear, and he was the same. If this was destined, he was still very grateful.
Maxis and the others were leading the Warriors to adapt to the new Celestial Armament. They were all humans themselves,
and even if they weren't from Tianqi, most were outstanding individuals who had participated in the Kepler campaign, and they also had a solid foundation in soul understanding. What they received was the understanding and essence of Maxis and the others after reflecting on the Anthem Universe Power. Teaching it in a human way would produce better and more direct results. This was probably a human ability for learning and transformation that the Anthem could never imagine.

Maxis, Chao Qinglong, Basta, Zhou Naiyi, and Dumela were all leader-type Warriors, the best of humanity. They were very good at commanding battle teams back in the military academy. With the help of a group of experts like Luo Bi, Aofei, and Laika, their progress was even faster. Moreover, everyone was exchanging different things among themselves; the concepts and ideas of the Anthem were all different. This was another gathering after the Tianqi Youth Class, under a common goal.
There were intelligence personnel everywhere in Kepler; it couldn't be hidden. But with a total of only over a thousand Warriors, honestly, in the eyes of the outside world, it wasn't enough to fill the gaps in an Orc's teeth. This was fine for maintaining the current internal order of Kepler, but don't think about anything else. Kepler did not possess sufficient air force power. The current situation was probably to resist the possibility of an Orc invasion of Kepler; this meant they were going to fight street battles.
The Interstellar Channel was one of the top ten channels of the Star Alliance, focusing on the Star Alliance situation and regional wars. Kepler also occupied a small tofu-block-sized space. This bit of news probably didn't have as much attention as an Orc pirate general. Without sufficient reason, it was unlikely that the Orcs would directly send a fleet to attack Kepler. Directly destroying the Star River Order would still require bearing a very strong backlash; after all, Man Ciku was a General.
But other methods were hard to say. Observers believed that if humans could not handle their
relationship with the Orcs well, it would directly lead to humans falling into long-term distress. It was a matter of life and death for humans, but to other civilizations, this was just like watching an after-dinner story.
Perhaps in response to Long Danni's remarks in the Sacred Song Committee and the Star Alliance, General Man Ciku also pressured the Anthem, believing that such behavior by Kepler was very immoral, creating regional tension and destroying peace, and demanded that the Sacred Song Committee conduct an in-depth investigation. At the same time, they cleared the interstellar pirates, a fact
that was clear, and they even avenged the human Governor of Kepler. Kepler not only failed to repay kindness with gratitude but actually made a false countercharge, chilling the hearts of the vast, kind, and benevolent Orc public.
The Orcs clearly had far more channels to voice their opinions in the Star River Alliance than humans. Those involved might not even be able to see the truth, let alone outsiders. Plus, with half-true and half-false information spreading in the Star River Alliance, Kepler's situation was very passive. Even the Solar System was under huge pressure, and the human image began to deteriorate. Moreover, the Anthem Warriors who had been sent out to study with such difficulty suddenly left, which also caused some dissatisfaction among the Anthem. If it weren't for the fact that the Orcs' reputation wasn't good, the situation would be even more serious than imagined.
Yet amidst these disturbances, Kepler was very calm. Ever since Li Hao returned to Kepler, Kepler had lost that sense of anxiety. Both the public and the Anthem Warriors could settle their hearts. This stemmed
from a strong confidence in Li Hao. Li Hao focused on improving the transformation of his Golden Cells. During this period, Kepler Warriors gradually began to be able to borrow power from him, but the feeling was obviously very weak. The Warriors would have a certain improvement, but the magnitude was not as obvious as that of Depuya and the others. Instead, the Tianqi Warriors gathered together to train, and the effect of Summoning God became better and better. Some who hadn't used it before also learned it. Li Hao's mutated cells increased to a little over 2%, but just by being with A Youyou every day, he found that the two were becoming more and more in tune with each other.
"Li Hao was a bit 'high' during this period, and A Youyou couldn't quite handle it, but she couldn't bear to refuse.
Although she felt that Li Hao's 'indulgence' before the battle wasn't great, what could she do? Just spoil him!"
Kepler's new Cabinet quickly restored order. A Youyou, who had returned from the Anthem, had an even greater aura than in the past, and she was also at ease in handling diplomatic affairs. Her growth was visible to the naked eye. Coupled with the Starry Eyes of the complete Celestial royal family, it gave her great diplomatic convenience. The Daliven Family had already leaned toward Kepler; now, no one would believe it if someone said they weren't of the Kepler faction. Long
Danni withstood the pressure from the Solar System, and Wu Fa also played a crucial role. Even if Makemu became the Speaker, he couldn't make decisions entirely on his own. Different voices would always exist, and they also represented a huge group of consciousness. Makemu withstood the pressure; if he couldn't even do this, he wouldn't want to be this Speaker.
Humans needed to fight back, and the Solar System could not make this counterattack; this was the actual situation. Long Danni and Wu Fa were very clear about this. The Star Alliance investigation team was still there; how could they mobilize the army? If it was only on a small scale, wouldn't that be like throwing a meat bun at a dog? And it would only leave behind evidence. But if they did nothing, the Orcs would only become more arrogant and intensify their actions. Therefore, letting Kepler have a free hand was the best choice. Another point that moved Makemu and the others was that Li Hao was someone who could create miracles. Why not let him try?
Even if they couldn't directly support him, they shouldn't hold him back. Makemu, after all, had fought his way out of the Kepler campaign, so he still had some breadth of mind. Once determined, he no longer wavered and withstood the pressure of the Star Alliance. After entering the Star River Alliance, the human world reached an unprecedented level of unity. Some merchant fleets carrying food were heading from the Solar System toward Kepler, while on the outside, everything was calm. At this time, Chao Qinglong and the others were training their teams every day, while also keeping their own state at its best. With the return of the last batch of Warriors, the Tianqi group was all gathered, and the lineup was unprecedentedly strong. When this bunch of people was together, there was really nothing in this world they feared.
Patience, enough patience. What was being accumulated was fighting spirit and killing intent. The time would not be too long. They understood Li Hao's character; a gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years. The Tianqi revenge was right before their eyes. Others hadn't seen Li Hao for a long time. Every day, only A Youyou went to see Li Hao. He didn't need to eat, and his whole person was deep in the darkness of the Governor's office, his body shrouded in a layer of golden light. This had been going on for many days. Li Hao had told her that as long as this hurdle was completed, he would have the certainty.
Just at this moment, a special Sea Person arrived on planet Kepler, a short big shot, Kuta Palani. Upon receiving the news, Aoliweina was almost furious; this kid had actually sneaked to Kepler without bringing her.
Ever since Li Hao returned to Earth, Kuta had felt that life had lost its fun. All day long, it was just training and those noble ways of playing, not exciting at all. Li Ge had said many times how beautiful Kepler was, how fun the Solar System was, and that human civilization was a composite civilization with many traces of the Sea Race and the Celestial, as well as the Ghost Race—what humans often called ghosts and such. What was important was the food.
But at this sensitive time, why was the heir of the Jincancan Family heading to Kepler?
Admittedly, Kepler had an office of the Jincancan Family and monopolized the fine wine from the human world, which was indeed very popular. But with the industry and strength of the Jincancan Family, this was just an insignificant product of the family. Kuta's arrival still made the Jincancan Kepler Chamber of Commerce jump in panic. Of course, the Sea Race didn't need to worry too much about safety issues; neither humans nor Orcs would take action against the Sea Race. But Kuta was different; his status was different. After all, regional wars could happen here at any time. His coming at this time really made the Sea People here miserable. If anything happened to Kuta, their future would be gone.
Upon learning of Kuta's arrival, Kepler still attached great importance to it. At this moment, Kuta was staring dumbfounded at A Youyou in front of him. He simply couldn't believe it. Since changing from a girl to a woman, A Youyou, who was already stunningly beautiful, was shrouded in an indescribable charm. This was a completely different shock from the fleeting glimpse on the Star Swift.
(Note: The source text has a line break here, but the content flows from the previous.)
"Li Ge's firmness is indeed justified." Kuta was not very convinced until he saw the real person. This was an existence that could rival Princess Hermia. The two had their own temperaments, hard to distinguish who was better, and even somewhat similar. He certainly wouldn't believe it if someone said she was human; she was completely a Celestial.
What typical Starry Eyes, glowing brilliantly, and the intense charm radiating from her whole body was the same as Princess Hermia.
(Note: The source text has a line break here, but the content flows from the previous.)
"Are you trying to imply that he wasn't honest during the adjudication?"
A Youyou knew about Kuta; Li Hao had mentioned him many times.
"I didn't say that, I don't know anything," Kuta hurriedly waved his hands. "Sister is so beautiful, does Sister have any sisters or anything?"
"Don't tell me, I actually do have a cousin," A Youyou liked Kuta's personality; in fact, from a family perspective, they were somewhat similar. "Do you want me to introduce you?"
Dita had no idea that she had been sold in a single encounter. Kuta's expression immediately became serious. "The first time I saw Li Ge, I felt he was my long-lost 'biological brother'. Sister is naturally my biological sister too. From now on, Kepler is my home."
"You have such a sweet mouth, you should teach Li Hao more in the future," A Youyou laughed. Although this kid was joking around, he had come prepared. He brought two Sea Person merchant ships. Although they weren't military types, they were merchant ships equipped with considerable firepower. After all, interstellar travel was also dangerous and required a certain amount of force. What was important was that the merchant ships' Defense Shields and ship cannon systems were military-grade, and at a level that ordinary military ones couldn't reach. "And he himself isn't leaving, which means that if the Orcs want to use force against Kepler, they have to consider whether they will accidentally injure the Jincancan Family, which can influence the Helavis Empire's stance."
(Note: The source text has a line break here, but the content flows from the previous.)
Kuta was using himself as a shield for Kepler. This was truly sending charcoal in snowy weather. Li Hao was the kind of person who could find some peculiar friends wherever he went; this was also his unique charm.
"Li Ge is okay, right? Um, if there's anything you need me for, please don't be polite." Kuta heard that Li Hao was in seclusion and was still a bit worried. What was the use of those words from his elder sister? If he really wanted to help, he had to take real action. Kuta thought very simply: Li Hao needed his help now, so he had to come, and he would definitely be able to help. He was just playing a rogue; he wanted to ask his family for warships, but they wouldn't give them, so he came himself. Anyway, if he got hit, you guys figure it out. If it really didn't work, just change the heir. Unfortunately, they didn't have one, hehe.
Summoning God currently only stimulates potential. Romero's insect body was already exhausted at Three Turns. And Man Ciku's setting was Universe Gale Peak.
