Chapter 674: No, They Didn't!

The minor squabbles between Humans and Orcs are of no consequence; without some local turbulence, how could the superiority of the Star Alliance be demonstrated? But the moment a black hole appeared, it immediately drew the attention of all major powers. The matter became grave. The Star Alliance Council immediately convened an emergency meeting. The blatant act of aggression by the Humans, combined with the black hole, was enough for the Star Alliance to dispatch an army to annihilate the Humans.

Makemu submitted the evidence he had prepared; he was also a member of the Star Alliance Council. This was the Humans' counterattack against aggression; any act of aggression against the Humans would be met with a hundredfold or thousandfold retaliation. At the same time, Makemu denied the existence of a black hole weapon, stating that the Humans simply did not possess such capabilities, and even if they did, they would not know how to use it. Furthermore, the Star Alliance's investigation team had been in the Solar System for over a year—who wasn't aware of whether they had found anything?

However, the diplomat from the Lalutu Empire accused the Humans of stealing a black hole weapon from the Ozil Empire. This assertion was immediately met with an angry rebuttal from the Ozil Empire's diplomat, who also mocked the ignorance of the Orcs, stating that not every black hole that appears is a black hole weapon, and the formation of this entire black hole did not conform to the characteristics of a black hole weapon, except for the final effect.

With a different opponent, the Orcs could say you improved, but against the Ozil Empire, daring to make such baseless accusations—do they really think the Ozil Empire is someone to be trifled with?

In the tiered, cylindrical meeting room of the Star Alliance Council, the various alien councilors projected in an emergency were engaged in a frantic discussion. The Ozil Empire provided a rendering of a black hole weapon's effect and a comparison with the current Masa Planet; this was clearly similar but did not match the specific traits. Moreover, the Ozil Empire was the primary possessor of black hole weapons and strictly prohibited the proliferation or proactive use of black hole weapons; any groundless questioning would be viewed as an offense against the Ozil Empire.

Those with the strength to question were none other than the mainstream major powers, such as the Silver Heart Commercial Alliance, the Seventh Art, the Helavis Empire, the Strong Colonization Empire, and so on. But from a technical perspective, it was indeed different, and once a black hole weapon is used, it always leaves traces, unless the Ozil Empire had secretly researched an improved new weapon.

If it were the latter, then it was even less possible to question it.

Ultimately, after a ruling by the Star Alliance, it was determined that the Masa Orcs had designed a trap to frame the Kepler Governor first, and the circumstances were severe; Kepler possessed full rights to retaliation. As for the black hole on Masa Planet, it was an accident caused by the Orcs' unauthorized research into black hole technology. The Star Alliance began a new round of investigations into forbidden weapons for the Lalutu Empire; among the Star Alliance, the ones who most wanted to possess black hole weapons were actually the Orcs.

As for the Humans, after more than a year of serious and careful investigation, there was no existence of any forbidden weapons. The Star Alliance investigation team would withdraw and publicly certify the Humans as a non-forbidden-weapon-possessing nation, ending this investigation. Because the Masa Star Gate had been destroyed and, due to the existence of the black hole, it was no longer suitable as a spaceport, all shipping routes would be diverted to the Kepler Star Gate. After more than ten hours of debate, Makemu and the Human diplomats in the Star Alliance Council showed smiles of victory for the first time. They had won on another battlefield, and at the same time, countless alien civilizations finally recognized the Humans anew.

In this battle, setting aside the non-existent black hole weapon, the Humans' Apocalypse Warriors displayed quite formidable combat power. As for the Orcs, describing them as "getting what they deserved" was not an exaggeration at all. With the Ozil Empire standing on the side of the Solar System, and after the diplomat from the consistently neutral Helavis Empire also issued impartial remarks, many civilizations began to extend olive branches to the Humans, especially many nations of the third-tier civilization; they were also heavily oppressed by the Orcs. Previously, the Orcs were the pinnacle of this level, but now that news of the appearance of a challenger and their victory had reached Kepler and the Solar System, countless citizens poured into the streets to celebrate. This was the greatest victory since the Humans entered the Star Alliance; they had wiped out all the Orcs of Masa and let the Star Alliance preside over "justice." This was a battle for dignity and freedom.

In fact, it also sparked widespread discussion in other civilizations. This could no longer be described as just "impressive"; it was simply extremely ruthless. The other side killed one governor, and the Humans directly wiped out the Orcs, even digging a hole in their home and burying them. No one else had such a capacity for revenge. Without sufficient confidence and strength, no one would dare to provoke the Humans for a very long time. Of course, it did not rule out those who were arrogant and ignorant of life and death, but the current Humans were no longer afraid. Before the Star Alliance investigation team left, the team leader left behind a profound remark: "Black hole weapons do not exist, and they should not appear again."

Makemu, with a smile on his face, firmly responded, "We do not, we do not, we really do not."

Chao Qinglong, Zhou Naiyi, Maxis, and the other Apocalypse Expeditionary Army members returned and received the warmest welcome from the Kepler citizens. This was the greatest victory since the establishment of the Kepler Autonomous Region, avenging Governor Romero and the warriors who had sacrificed themselves over the past year or so.

Yet, this atmosphere was completely absent among the Apocalypse Warriors, because five days had passed, and there was still no trace of Li Hao. Masa Planet had already been swallowed by the black hole; nothing in the surroundings could escape. Li Hao was their pillar. When Dita saw A Youyou, her heart ached so much she couldn't speak. In just five short days, A Youyou had become so thin, having fainted many times due to excessive consumption of Spirit power. Every time she woke up, she wanted to use it to guide Li Hao home, but Spirit power could not be used like that; otherwise, Li Hao wouldn't return, and she would lose her life first.

Time passed day by day, and there was still no news of Li Hao. Everyone was somewhat desperate, but A Youyou firmly believed that Li Hao was still alive. This was a kind of intuition; it must be so, she felt it was like that.

Dita looked at the haggard A Youyou and sighed in her heart; they had already tried every possible way to search.

The Ozil Empire was also helping with the search. If Li Hao were discovered in other star sectors or star gates, even if the Humans couldn't find him, the Ozil Empire would be able to. In the conflict between the Humans and the Masa Orcs, the Ozil Empire provided immense diplomatic assistance, which was also a repayment for Li Hao's firm stance during the Yimogu Rebellion. Of course, the Ozil Empire's position was that they stood on the side of justice. Makemu and the others hadn't even thought of such a huge outcome; it could be said that the final, incredible "black hole" was the key. In the Star Alliance, where the overall order was relatively stable, only a black hole forbidden weapon could bring peace; otherwise, even with the evidence of Romero being framed, it wouldn't have been enough to make the Lalutu Empire stop. It was just that Li Hao, the only one who knew the truth, was missing. Whether it was truly an accident, or the secret help of the Ozil Empire, or some other method of Li Hao's, the root of all this lay with Li Hao.

The council led by Makemu also clearly realized that as long as Li Hao was there, the relationship between the Humans and the Ozil Empire would remain; if Li Hao were gone, this layer of relationship would also be gone.

At this moment, Li Hao was still drifting in the Void, somewhere unknown, and the Möbius Ring on his body was...

Flashing rapidly. "Li Hao, Li Hao, Li Hao, there is no time left..."

Finally, Li Hao, who felt the call in his hazy state, opened his eyes. He thought he had died. The plan was good, but only after being truly sucked in did he realize that his own meager power was truly too naive. Before he could even sense A Youyou's Soul Coordinate, he had directly lost consciousness. But how was he actually still alive? Feeling the situation around him, it was clearly not hell, because he had experienced this kind of Space Ability. If it were just his Spirit, it would actually be easier to control; the medium of the Spirit itself belongs to such a space. But at this time, his body was still there, and the difficulty of the whole thing was completely different.

His body—Li Hao then discovered that his body, after losing its protection, had actually not been torn to shreds. Feeling the constantly flashing Möbius Ring, a smile of survival after a disaster appeared at the corner of Li Hao's mouth. Only, inadvertently, Li Hao's gaze held a trace of solemnity; his conjecture and bold attempt had been verified again.

"Li Hao, leave here quickly, there isn't much time left, they are coming soon." In the Void, a voice rang out in Li Hao's mind. "They"? This voice seemed somewhat familiar? Only at this moment, the flashing of the Möbius Ring became rapid. Li Hao focused his senses; the coordinate between him and A Youyou had been maintained since a long time ago. Ever since they merged, this Soul Coordinate had become clearer than ever before. It seemed there was also a faint, even more distant coordinate, though he didn't know whose it was.

Li Hao dared not linger. He unexpectedly discovered that his Golden Cells, which had already dried up, had actually recovered a tiny bit. Although it was only about 2%, it should be enough if he gave it his all. Golden light lit up on Li Hao's body. Under the protection of the Möbius Ring, Li Hao's Universe Power continuously rose, but this was still not enough. Li Hao gritted his teeth, and blood began to seep from his seven orifices. His Universe Power was also soaring non-stop. Pain and such were unable to shake Li Hao's will; his desire to win was incomparably strong.

The next second, the golden light split open, and Li Hao's body disappeared from the space. The solemn atmosphere of the Kepler Governor's Mansion suddenly entered a state of calm, repressed joy. Important figures of Kepler began to enter and exit the Governor's Mansion continuously.

Li Hao had "suddenly" appeared, but he had fallen into a coma. In the hospital, medical personnel were conducting a comprehensive examination of Li Hao's condition. Zhou Naiyi, Ma Long, and several warriors skilled in Spirit healing were also replenishing Li Hao's Spirit power, but very strangely, their power entering Li Hao's body was almost useless, just like a few drops of water into an incomparably parched earth—useless.

Among the Apocalypse Warriors, the ones with the highest attainments back then were Nangong Yuhang and Anlita, both of whom were no longer around. The others' understanding in this aspect was actually a cliff-like drop. Moreover, although there were forms and enhancements of Universe Power in the Sacred Song, their understanding of the deeper layers of the Spirit was not necessarily any more profound than that of the Humans.

Long Danni and Wufa also had solemn expressions. In fact, during this period, they had already transported the best medical equipment and medical personnel from the Solar System, all for the sake of Li Hao's sudden return, even if it were only the smallest possibility. It had "really" come in handy. Li Hao's body damage was also very severe, a kind of damage they could not understand, but this could be repaired slowly. As for the Spirit's injuries, the Humans had no way to deal with them now.

Kuta was also there; he was busy fussing with his family. The Sea People were much better at Spirit repair. A medical team was on its way, but before the Sea People arrived, there was an unexpected surprise: Fronzo had arrived.

Fronzo saw Li Hao's condition and was also shocked for a good while, then asked everyone to leave the room. How could the others be willing? In the end, it was Cheng Konghai who chased everyone out, leaving only A Youyou. Only then did Fronzo notice the Human girl beside him.

Well, he was truly startled. She had the unmistakable noble temperament of a Celestial, and she was stunningly beautiful. From the perspective of Spirit ability, it was very similar to that of Princess Hermia. No wonder A Hai kept talking about how Li Hao's girlfriend was this and that. The girl before him, even if placed together with Princess Hermia, each had their own merits, but at this moment, there was no time to delve into it.

"If any incomprehensible situation occurs in a moment, don't be surprised, and don't move around," Fronzo cautioned. A Youyou nodded.

The others waited outside.

Fronzo's body turned into a semi-energy state, and ghost light slowly enveloped Li Hao. But the power, like tentacles, immediately shrank back as soon as it approached. Fronzo's experience in the Spirit aspect was too rich; this situation was very dangerous. If he were not careful, his own Spirit would be damaged. What had Li Hao experienced? Fronzo took out sets of tools from his Star Swift space; in fact, he had moved his entire laboratory over. Of course, the Eternal Crystal wouldn't work. Beams of light enveloped Li Hao, and various holographic images appeared before Fronzo, along with data comparisons. A Youyou clasped her hands together, hoping for Li Hao. Fronzo, on the side, was patiently busy. The semi-energy state could indeed bring him many abilities and a greater space for execution. The Celestial body was always a bit lacking in connecting with the universe; he had always felt that the purest existence of the universe was the Spirit or consciousness itself.

In terms of treatment, Fronzo had clearly experienced more severe subjects, and he was very cautious and orderly.

He performed one thing after another. After a long time, when Fronzo finished, he was also somewhat exhausted. Everyone immediately surrounded him but kept their distance, each looking at Fronzo with eager eyes, afraid of disturbing him.

Fronzo rested for a good while before turning back into a solid form. He also knew that everyone was very worried. "Li Hao's body problem is not very big; his physical strength is very high. Your treatment methods can be used for a period of time. It's just that the Spirit is severely overdrawn, and there are some cracks. I tried to make up for it, but the extent to which it can ultimately recover depends on his own fate."

Seeing everyone's worry, Fronzo smiled. "I can feel Li Hao's strong desire to win. A conservative judgment is that recovery is only a matter of time, but things like Spirit trauma are hard to say for sure."

"Master, we Sea People have things to repair the Spirit that are already on the way," Kuta said. "Is that special kind okay?"

Fronzo looked at Kuta's wink and nodded. "That is the best natural holy object for nourishing and repairing the Spirit. With this, and me assisting with some methods, the chances are still very high. It's just that his own consciousness is still scattered; waking up still depends on his own will to survive."

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the Humans' own helplessness, Fronzo was naturally more reliable. Just a moment ago, Cheng Konghai had also introduced Fronzo's situation to everyone. This was a bona fide Celestial Spirit Master, and one who was trustworthy; after all, he had no motive to harm Li Hao.

In the evening, Zhou Naiyi, Cheng Konghai, Ma Long, Sheng Man, Zuo Xiaotang, Annie, and Wuzang ate with Fronzo. Although Fronzo did not immediately give a perfect answer, from his mood, the calmed-down Zhou Naiyi still judged that Li Hao's recovery should only be a matter of time.

"You don't need to worry too much. For someone else, this situation might be very difficult, but I think with Li Hao's strength, waking up is certain. It's also possible that something we don't know has happened now, which will delay it a little," Fronzo said.

"Master, what do you mean?" Zhou Naiyi asked with some concern.

"There were too many people just now, and some things weren't convenient to say. In fact, with Li Hao's current injuries, a hundred lives would have been lost. But the strange thing is that although the injuries are very heavy—I'm talking about the Spirit trauma—the Soul Root is very firm and shows no obvious signs of decay," Fronzo said, weighing his words. "A person on the verge of death would have their Soul Root decay at the first moment; this indicates the strength of a life form. But if the Soul Root still maintains vitality, the recovery of the injuries is only a matter of time. Frankly speaking, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

Everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Master, I'll toast you; you are simply our timely rain!" Sheng Man said sincerely. Everyone raised their glasses one after another. Learning of Li Hao's condition, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. This Fronzo was truly a benefactor. The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and Zhou Naiyi also hurriedly sent a message to A Youyou... A Youyou was still taking care of Li Hao.

"Are you all good friends?" Fronzo pointed at them.

Cheng Konghai nodded and introduced the details to Fronzo. In fact, for Cheng Konghai, compared to the distant Apocalypse, perhaps Ma Long and the others were closer. However, upon hearing about "one pair after another," Fronzo was not very happy.

"A Hai, you're not young anymore. The few I mentioned last time were really good. Do you want me to arrange for them to come over?"

Fronzo's words instantly made Cheng Konghai's face turn red.

Ma Long and the others hadn't reacted yet, but when they realized what was happening, they started to tease him. He had misunderstood that Wuzang and Zhou Naiyi were a couple. With them paired up, his child was all alone; this was too low-key. A Hai was so outstanding, he should at least have three or four, and then give birth to a dozen more—perfection.

In an instant, Fronzo's thoughts went a bit far. Zhou Naiyi and the others knew that Fronzo coming here was actually mainly to see Cheng Konghai. And such a Tianwu Master, looking across the Star Alliance, was top-tier. Even if he didn't come to the production line often, his guidance on key technologies was priceless. The research that Polina and the others were presiding over was full of problems; if there were a knowledgeable person to guide them, Human technology would take a big step forward.

"Master, you are so right. Ant is just too shy; he needs someone to keep an eye on him. He doesn't listen to a word we say, so we need you to supervise him. How about this, we'll arrange it first, and you help him look it over and vet it. Anyway, if you think it's okay, just let him interact with them first," Zhou Naiyi said.

"Sister, I don't want to..." Cheng Konghai immediately objected. "Ant, you're not right about this. Our Tianjing heritage is to respect our elders. The Master came from thousands of miles away; you're being too ignorant of the situation. Besides, no one is forcing you to do anything. Try it, interact with them; it's not like it's going to cost you your life. Master, don't you think so?" Zhou Naiyi smiled very sweetly.

Fronzo nodded repeatedly. "Little girl, that's very well said. Anyway, I'll be here day by day to supervise you..."

Ma Long and the others also reacted. "Master, Ant's temper is as stubborn as a donkey; he really needs to be supervised. If you're not careful, he'll go off track."

Cheng Konghai's brain was steaming. "Old Dad, you're a busy man. Where would you have so much time? The Judgment cannot do without you." Fronzo took a sip of the small wine; although food and drink didn't have much effect on him,

enjoying the process was still fine. "I've taken a long leave, don't worry. I have plenty of time." Seeing Cheng Konghai's dejected look, everyone was happy.

"Ant, Hao Ge's half-life depends on Lord Fronzo. If you don't perform well, how can the Master focus on the treatment?"

"Me, on a blind date?" Cheng Konghai managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long while: for his second brother, he could make a sacrifice.

"Hmm, if that's the case, I can treat him with undivided attention; when a person is happy, their condition will also be exceptionally good!"

Fronzo also said, putting on a show.

The ward had returned to quiet; A Youyou had fallen asleep holding Li Hao's hand by the bedside; no matter what, Li Hao had returned.

Li Hao's body on the bed could not move, a bit like a vegetative state, but in the spiritual world, Li Hao was extremely clear-headed; he was currently deep within a strange Space Ability.

Back when he fought Nangong Yuhang, the Genesis that Nangong used was actually equivalent to shaping a Spirit world, creating his own Spirit space, and similarly, Li Hao was in a more difficult situation in this regard; he was very clear that his Spirit was locked within some kind of powerful creative space, and the opponent's level was unknown levels higher than that of his battle with Nangong.

"Of course, what is created is not necessarily a person," there was no concept of time here, and it seemed he had just been shelved like this; he realized to some extent the importance of the Golden Cell; those 2% of Golden Cells allowed him to remain conscious, because this Void space maintained this kind of static state, which was the state of "nothingness"; if a Spirit were inside it, it would be as if it were being stored.

But because of these Golden Cells, Li Hao could still maintain his thinking, only he did not act rashly, and he was very patient; in the long-term training of Bleem, this was very basic, and the voice that finally awakened him in the Void was a bit blurry, but he still remembered the meaning: something was coming, and there was not much time left for him, which meant something would come looking for him, and the one calling him must be Bleem, passing through this strange Mobius Ring on his body.

The Mobius Ring, he had already figured out most of it at the Judgment Anthem; this was a mark of an extra-galactic civilization, it might possess some kind of meaning, or it might just represent time and space; they could master time and

space; like the Super God Aura, and some imperial ranks all carried this thing, which meant these were all things from an extra-galactic civilization; the dim space gradually turned grayish-white, and ripples swept across Li Hao's body.

Spirit scanning...

Anomaly detected, rescanning...

Ding-dong, a grayish-white, infinitely extending hall appeared, and a feeling of having one's feet on solid ground emerged; a huge light appeared in Li Hao's field of vision, and at the same time, a voice rang in his ears: "Saint, Li Hao, you have obtained the qualification for entry into the Star Realm, becoming a Saint who determines the fate of the Yinhexi, abide by the Star Realm Law, accept the Star Realm Summoning, protect the Galaxy order, and resist the Void invasion." Li Hao blinked his eyes and smiled slightly, "Can I choose not to resist?"
