Chapter 679: Governor

A new day has begun, but a major piece of news has erupted among the various Star Realm organizations at this moment.

Because of the existence of the Star Realm, there are many organizations centered around Star Realm information and items. Among them, the largest, the Star Casting Dragon Alliance, combined with the golden reputation of the Dragon Race and the steadfast support of the Mechanical Race, established the Dragon Alliance World, which is the favorite place for Saints.

Besides this, there are other Saint Worlds like Empire Glory, the Ascension Alliance, the Darkborn Alliance, the Holy Light Society, and Assassination Star. Of course, they come with more restrictions and characteristics; for instance, Empire Glory can only be joined by Saints of the Ozil Empire after a selection process, and there is a great deal of overlap between Saint organizations. The Holy Light Society is a relatively unique existence among the many Star Realm organizations; it is the largest intelligence organization for Saints. The president is very mysterious, but the Holy Light Society's information rarely goes wrong, and it has formed its own style based on this characteristic.

Many organizations have intelligence and evaluations regarding missions, but the Holy Light Society's Holy Light Ranking is the most authoritative, such as their evaluation of the top ten S-Class Star Realm missions and so on.

And just a short while ago, the "Light King" of the Holy Light Society released explosive news: the Endless Maze, one of the ten S-Class impossible missions of the Holy Light Society, has been "conquered!"

Anything above A-Grade is already quite extraordinary, and S-Grade is an existence that is unreachable. The S-Grade Endless Maze is one of the Space Nightmares; without a doubt, it contains the power of space. However, it is accompanied by the fall of the strong. Even those super geniuses with exceptional talent, once forcibly conscripted to challenge the Endless Maze, their first reaction is to find a way to escape rather than pass it. Of course, ordinary people are not conscripted for S-Grade missions, and because it had never been conquered, there were no non-compulsory Star Cards for the Endless Maze, and no one knew what it meant. But just now, he found out.

There are many ways to complete a mission: passing, passing with excellence, and perfect conquest. Once a perfect conquest is achieved, one obtains the title of "Manager." A Manager can create non-compulsory Star Cards for that mission, which any Saint can use. At the same time, they will receive rewards; of course, the degree of the reward will be reduced, and the probability will also be lower, but the safety will be higher, and there still exists the possibility of obtaining huge power and items. Moreover, every mission implies a certain ability, making it a very good place for enlightenment.

The terrifying thing about the Endless Maze is that, currently, there are only escapees; not even one has passed it. The most famous one is the super genius girl of the Sea Race, Rachel Sena, who, after making the most thorough preparations, still got lost in the space.

Then there is the Verne Empire general who fell within it. The Verne Empire belongs to the second tier of Celestial Empires. Among the second-tier nations of the Star Alliance, the Verne Empire belongs to the leader of more than ten other Celestial nations, belonging to the leader of the second tier. From then on, the reputation of the Endless Maze suddenly emerged.

It is rumored that besides the mission itself, there exists a terrifying ghost in the Endless Maze. Space power and talent are S-Grade regardless of the race, so the intelligence regarding the Endless Maze is also extraordinary. Some top powerhouses and talented individuals want to go further, and obviously, ordinary missions cannot satisfy them, and the Endless Maze is what they want. Many who reach Zhou Lan Peak, even those who have reached the rank of General... also want to obtain the power. The number of people who can be forcibly conscripted by the Star Realm is already limited, and even fewer can come out alive. Every piece of intelligence is extremely expensive.

For example, the Verne Empire prince Falandisi became famous precisely because he escaped from the Endless Maze. Originally only the Ninth Prince, he received great recognition from the royal family, and his succession order rose directly to first. And such a mission has actually been "conquered."

The Holy Light Society would not release news randomly to attract attention, especially news released personally by the Light King. This is absolutely a golden reputation. There is a legend that he possesses a unique ability to obtain "information," only no one knows who the Light King is, but he never makes mistakes.

Conquest means that someone has completely dominated the Endless Maze and obtained the title of Manager, and it further means that in the future, mission Star Cards for the Endless Maze will appear. An S-Grade mission Star Card means infinite possibilities. Even if the lion's share is taken by the Manager, the opportunities and items contained within will still be many, "and it is useless to the Manager anymore; once one becomes a Manager, one can no longer obtain rewards from the mission."

The biggest characteristic of a non-compulsory mission Star Card is that there is basically no issue of casualties. The simplest thing is that an infinite mission will become a time-limited mission. Once the mission fails, one will be ejected, at most receiving some punishment, which is entirely within an acceptable range. But once obtained, that might mean a surge in strength.

Many Saints also have intricate connections with the Holy Light Society, each showing their own abilities to inquire about relevant intelligence. This is undoubtedly the most sensational event recently. Li Hao also looked at the changes in his Soul Card. In terms of space enlightenment, he activated his talent ability, Primary Creation, 88/100. Li Hao was also curious about what it would become if he could go a step further. Incorporating his understanding of the Endless Maze, his power in shaping the Star Ring Barrier further improved. What about the next step?

The title of Endless Maze Manager is very different from that of a guard. A guard is a lonely ghost trapped inside, while a Manager can freely enter and exit the Endless Maze. But if a Manager dies in the Endless Maze, the Manager will dissipate, and along with this, the Star Realm space will also disappear.

Everything in the Star Realm is not permanent; it also changes with time, experiencing death and birth. Ten Directions Space looks like something similar to the convenient compressed space of Star Swift, only Li Hao is poor and has low aspirations, so having such a large space is of no use. But after studying it for a while, Li Hao was shocked: his will can be manifested in this space. For example, Li Hao can practice space changes inside, feeling the taste of a creator, and even the shaping ability he can only perform in the dream space can be shaped in this Ten Directions Space, only it will dissipate after a short time once the shaping is successful.

As for that Fire Essence, he has no use for it. Using Fire Essence can greatly improve Fire-related abilities, but his level is obviously far beyond being limited to this. The short-term goal is to collect Intermediate Soul Supplements to be promoted to General as soon as possible. The ultimate goal is only one: try every possible way to complete the Golden Cell and stand in an invincible position.

He gave the Fire Essence to Kuta. Kuta was moved to tears; this child is an honest person. The next few days were undoubtedly the most relaxing days for everyone. Li Hao returned after recovering from his injuries, and the dispute with the Orcs came to an end. Everyone indulged in celebrating the victory. Afterward, Maxis, Basta, Dumela, and other Sacred Song members returned to their respective Sacred Songs one after another. The Solar System will come forward to handle relevant issues, while Chao Qinglong chose to lead Ye Tong, Depuya, Perkins, and others to embark on an interstellar adventure to carve out another path for humanity.

Before leaving, Li Hao specifically went to talk to Ye Tong. Nangong is Nangong, and she is she. This was also because Chao Qinglong asked him to persuade Ye Tong. No matter how these big men go out, they can make do, but if the girl Ye Tong follows, she will suffer a lot. Unfortunately, Li Hao could not persuade her either. Ye Tong said it straightforwardly: watching Li Hao and A Youyou being lovey-dovey all day makes her very irritated. She is not the good-tempered type like Tan Ziyuan; if things go wrong, she might bully A Youyou or seduce Li Hao and cause some trouble. She said it so directly that Li Hao was dumbfounded; what kind of tiger-wolf words were these? There was no way to persuade her. It was half-true and half-false; Ye Tong also really wanted to go out and explore. She couldn't stand being made to follow the rules of the Star Alliance step-by-step. Sometimes, when one sees through the rules of the game, one feels it's meaningless instead.

There is also another piece of good news that greatly encouraged Kepler: Li Hao was finally approved to become the new Governor of Kepler Planet. It was submitted by the Solar System, and there were some twists and turns in the process, but it was finally passed.

The second Governor of Kepler, Li Hao.

In fact, all of humanity knows that the hero who truly led humanity to win the Kepler war is Li Hao, plus this counter-offensive against the Orcs. Anyone who dared to snatch the first spot would be scolded like a dog. At least the Solar System is relatively quiet this time. In the past, there would always be people eyeing the huge benefits and jumping out to compete. Everyone is very happy, only Li Hao himself has a huge headache. He has obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the past, there were only a few people, and he could always take care of them. Now it's good; he has become a Governor. His intuition tells him that there will always be troublesome things waiting for him.

Not long after, when Kevin and Polina smiled and placed Kepler's fiscal deficit and the projects and funds needed for future development plans in front of Li Hao, Li Hao's first reaction was whether he should change someone else to do it? In this regard, Romero was really fierce. "As an Insectoid, there are no consumption requirements, and he is dutiful. With such a pearl before him, it made Li Hao feel like he couldn't even complain, and then Governor Li Hao started spinning around.

The construction of the Apocalypse Sacred Song and the expansion of the Star Gate—in order to ensure the safety of the planet, in fact, building a Space City around the Star Gate is a better method, which is also crucial to the development and growth of Kepler. Besides this, Li Hao also led everyone to appear frequently in the five major cities of Kepler, human ones and alien ones. He was forced into it, but the obvious effect was that Li Hao discovered his Golden Cell began to change. Soul Passive: Faith (Undefined) 3660/1000000. It seems that the number of supporters will directly determine the improvement of this passive. Although it is a bit slow, the growth still made Li Hao very happy. When he was dragged out as a "model," he was not so resistant. Moreover, his power core, the most critical thing, is the number of mutated Golden Cells. Although through the Masa battle and the training in the Star Realm, he had a more advanced understanding of the use of Golden Cells, these were not his own after all. Only Golden Cells that completely possess self-ability possess that kind of spirituality.

Taking advantage of the moment when his prestige was at its highest, Li Hao finally summoned the courage to have a meal alone with Dita, very subtly conveying the information that Kuta likes Dita very much. For eating, Li Hao had been very happy since the moment he became conscious. If one is not happy while eating, there is something wrong with their brain. But this meal really made Li Hao terrified, feeling that a storm could come at any time, but Dita did not flare up; only after eating, in Dita's surprised eyes, Li Hao paid the bill, "After becoming Governor, I am indeed more generous than before."

"Li Hao hurriedly expressed his stance, "Ahem, Dita, I am purely conveying information, without any personal subjective color."

Dita just smiled, neither agreeing nor opposing, leaving Li Hao confused like a monk. After going back and telling A Youyou, A Youyou just smiled and pinched Li Hao's ear. What does that mean?

A week later, A Youyou and Dita led Kuta and a large Sea Race commercial team to set off for the Solar System. Dita actually quite likes Kuta's personality; making a friend is no problem, but anything else is a bit far. Taking the opportunity to tease Li Hao is also very happy.

Kuta is also very happy. What does Fire Essence mean to a Fire Mage? Two simple words: "Ascension," and it is Fire Essence, very pure, and this precipitation is second only to a General. How to describe this? If it were placed in the auction house of the Dragon Alliance World, it would make those rich second generations of the Sea Race fight for it crazily. The most direct effect after slowly absorbing it is to improve the soul realm, not a temporary improvement, but a permanent improvement. For Kuta, it couldn't be more suitable. He said he must do something for Brother Leg. He is good at everything except being lazy, so his soul power improves relatively slowly. He really doesn't like hard training, and this treasure, Fire Essence, is most suitable for him. But it is only possible for a top Mage to condense it in a lifetime. But who is willing to practice hard and then kill themselves, condensing it into Fire Essence to give to others? And even if they were willing, the formation of Fire Essence is also very, very rare. What was it saying? Lying down to win is the real win. Kuta knew that he must be right to come here. When he goes back, he will make Aoliweina look up to him!

Heading to the Solar System to discuss the construction of the Space City and deep cooperation with the Sea Race, drinks and such are just small things after all, which can be considered as establishing a relatively good cooperation between the two sides. Li Hao needs to go to the Ozil Empire as Governor to attend the Queen's coronation ceremony. In the past, the negotiations were not legitimate, but now as the Governor of Kepler, he has also been given important tasks by the Cabinet. Although he is the Governor, his brothers will not be polite, and a sentence of "the capable do more" doesn't care whether Li Hao can complete it.

After Li Hao avenged Romero, Polina also completely walked out of the sadness and returned to work state. Others were the same, and Kepler returned to the right track, full of confidence in the future. The brothers of the Kepler Cabinet gave Governor Li two tasks for this Ozil Empire mission.

The primary goal is to establish diplomatic relations. If humanity can get on the big ship of the Ozil Empire, not to mention anything else, the international pressure will be much smaller. This will give other countries a signal that beating the Orcs is just showing strength, but for humanity to develop, it still needs the support of more advanced civilizations.

Secondly, it is to introduce Celestial Armament and military starships. The ultimate goal is to find a way to obtain some technology, even if it is a bit backward. Taking a step back, this is a very tricky problem for both Kepler and the Solar System at present.

In order to keep Fronzo, Cheng Konghai will not go back to Ozil. If he doesn't leave, Fronzo won't leave. Cheng Konghai also thinks that it is to find a way to let Fronzo teach at the Apocalypse Sacred Song for a period of time. As one of the senior members of the Ruling Sacred Song, such talent is simply an indispensable treasure for Kepler's Apocalypse Sacred Song, not inferior to his technology at all. And Long Danni has already admired Fronzo to the ground in the contact these few days. She obtained the understanding of the external Celestials in the Solar System, and facing the real Celestial powerhouses, the first-hand information obtained is really vastly different, so no matter what, Fronzo cannot be allowed to run away.

Zhou Naiyi, Luo Bi, Wuzang, Aofei, and others chose to stay at the Apocalypse Sacred Song. Part of the Apocalypse Sacred Song is to select suitable warriors from Kepler, and part is from the Solar System. It is not difficult for Fronzo to select warriors with soul potential, but what is difficult is the subsequent improvement. At present, Kepler cannot attract better mentors at all. "This is a side task for Li Hao's trip to the Ozil Empire, which is to find a way to poach some more mentors."

Sitting on the spaceship, Li Hao felt hopeless. Everyone said they had full confidence in him, but he himself had no confidence at all. Do these guys think the Ruling Sacred Song is opened by him? This is also called a side task? There is a little bit of certainty about establishing diplomatic relations, but the second point, he doesn't even dare to think about it. Although he helped a little last time, Ozil has already repaid the favor quite thoroughly. This batch of Celestial Armament weapon support—you have to know that it didn't cost money, it was very expensive—Fronzo, as well as the Mechanical Race for Sacred Song construction, and the strong political support in the Star Alliance Council after defeating the Masa Orcs, were all quite powerful. Otherwise, even if humanity was in the right, it could have been ruined by the Orcs. The Star Alliance side also looks at benefits rather than principles, not to mention that the matter of destroying the planet is not so easy to pass. The outside world has already regarded Kepler and the Solar System as the power deployment of the Ozil Empire intervening in this area. This misunderstanding is undoubtedly very necessary for humanity now. Of course, High Priest Shilada also used this reason internally, definitely not the personal preference of the Princess. If more Celestial Armament equipment and starships are to be introduced, does it have to cost money? Don't mention those few pennies of Kepler; they are already stretched thin for building the Star Gate and the Space City. There is a problem here, which is that the Star Alliance side needs to use the currency of the Star Alliance, not human currency, which is equivalent to the lifeline being held by others. No way, who let humanity be a new member? The Solar System also has no surplus grain. In this regard, Li Hao can still understand Makemu and the others. The Solar System also needs to develop. Then the problem comes: if there is no money, how to get it? It's nothing more than begging and robbing. He feels that he is not a Governor at all. Other people's Governors are not like this. Shouldn't they be eating and drinking well?

As for technology, introducing technology—are the Celestials stupid? Li Hao understands the truth, but everyone's ideas are also very correct. Although it is difficult, this is the only way for Kepler to get out of the predicament.

The Governor is everyone's reliance; a sentence of "reliance" directly fooled Li Hao. His education since childhood was to save money and face difficulties. Back in the day, Gold Medal 567, who swept the eight hundred and eighty streets of Tianjing with a second-hand electric scooter, was afraid of nothing! Isn't it just changing the streets of Tianjing to interstellar streets now! Li Hao, who had convinced himself, became high-spirited. Following Li Hao were Zuo Xiaotang, Annie, Ma Long, and Kevin, all four of them eager to try.

Ma Laoshi started various selfies. He is no longer the little internet celebrity of the past. Lucky Ma of the S Tournament, the beacon Ma, has been endorsing Kepler for the past two years, properly Kepler's number one spokesperson. Compared to fighting, Ma Laoshi still feels that logistics and behind-the-scenes are more suitable for him, and possessing considerable combat power and level is also very helpful for Ma Laoshi's current work. He is also a member of the Kepler Cabinet, and he is also at ease in some external activities. How to say it, Ma Long is now living the life of his dreams, even better than dreaming.

"Ozil Empire, the most excellent and ancient dynasty of the Celestials. Hao Ge, after we establish diplomatic relations with Ozil, I must get a travel group to take everyone to see and see," Ma Long said.

"Ma Laoshi, Kepler is not rich, and there are many places to use money. Put your showing-off things aside," Kevin couldn't help but complain. Where is that spare money?

"Opening one's eyes is very important. We cannot sit and watch the sky," Ma Long laughed, "Isn't there Hao Ge here? After going there, fool them well and let the Ozil side pay, and we just provide the people." Li Hao couldn't help but touch his nose, "You can find whoever you want, don't hit the confidence I just built."

"Governor, you have to believe in yourself. As our leader, you always have to pay and sacrifice a little," Kevin laughed. Whatever can be saved, let the second brother do it; this is almost everyone's consensus.

"I thank you. I'll just try, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed." Li Hao forced himself to believe that this was feasible. As Li Hao's old brothers, Kevin and Ma Long held Li Hao firmly. No matter how entangled he was in his mouth, he would eventually agree to them. Who wouldn't love such a Brother Li?

Zuo Xiaotang shook his head helplessly. He also discovered that others like to "bully" Li Hao, and Li Hao likes to bully... Of course, except for Li Hao, no one in the whole Kepler dared to be impolite to Zuo Xiaotang. Looking dull, but everyone knows that Zuo Xiaotang is Li Hao's forbidden zone.

Annie was full of joy and curiosity about the journey. She was actually not excited about the things of the Ozil Empire. Her special existence is also very special in the Star Alliance. What she wants is to experience the life of life, such as traveling with Zuo Xiaotang. This kind of vivid life experience is what she cares about.

"Brother Zuo, do you want to study abroad with Annie in Kepler and experience the life of the Celestials?" Li Hao asked.

"Ruling Sacred Song? I don't care," Zuo Xiaotang scratched his head. He is the kind of character who is content with whatever happens. Coupled with the fact that his second personality is relatively stable, he has always lived quite leisurely. But after the battle on Masa Planet, Zuo Xiaotang also knew that he could be like this because others were holding on, and he also felt that he should work harder.

"Can Annie come along?" Li Hao nodded, "Of course, actually Annie's role is more important than yours."

Zuo Xiaotang held Annie's hand and smiled foolishly; heaven spares no one, back then Li Hao and Ma Long took turns feeding Zuoge dog food, now it was Zuo Xiaotang's turn.
