Chapter 375: A knight should never regret

"These damned heretics! Heretics!!!"

"What lawful main force! What deep-space knights, all are heretics!!!"

In the boundless Star Sea, a huge black fleet was slowly advancing.

Rather than saying it's a fleet, it's more like a chaotic mess of ships; compared to the Alliance's uniform bio-ships, the ships here are all sorts.

At this moment, they naturally knew that the Alliance's vice-leader had already met with their enemies, and this consequence was that they might face a joint encirclement by the Alliance and the deep-space knights.

But little did they know, those two forces actually didn't even put him in their eyes....

The deep-space knight's worry was that Zhang Jie's corpse chunks were about to be exhausted, he struggled to find a substitute, and besides having just arrived in this world and being extremely short of money, plus due to personal reasons of his aunt, he seemingly chose to take the Alliance as external aid.

And on the Alliance's side.... there's also a catcat big shovel waiting for them....

"Leader, what should we do?"

"......"

To be frank, their forces are even, in some sense, larger than the Alliance.

They spread across the Star Sea, becoming lunatics condemned by everyone, waving the heretic flag and madly punishing civilizations across the Star Sea that tried to touch heavenly disasters.

Although they are numerous and strong, it's a pity they ultimately lack a leader like Lin Ran.

Although their infamy spreads across the Star Sea, drawing apprehension from countless forces, but as long as they cannot unite into a single rope, they cannot possibly challenge the top powers.

"We want to unite...."

"While the Alliance hasn't yet formed a fully unified front with the deep-space knights, we must strike quickly."

"Execute according to the original plan! Eliminate this most excessive heretic!"

"Interesting, are you really an insect tribe born of heavenly disaster?"

Facing Zhang Jie's question, the insect knight narrowed his eyes like green beans and nodded.

It is well known that in the Star Sea there are only two kinds of insect tribes: the heavenly-disaster insect pests and those that developed from normal civilization.

"Don't blame me for saying this, but actually I am still a star-devouring insect emperor."

"Really?!"

Zhang Jie was utterly shocked that insect pests could enter space to become true insect disasters, and the appearance of a star-devouring insect emperor was absolutely a milestone.

Without an insect emperor, an insect disaster would spend its whole life trapped on a planet, gradually dying out as the scarce organic matter dwindles.

But.....

Weiniya spoke first.

"But the star-devouring insect emperor I remember isn't as small as you."

"It's the effect of the knight's oath."

The insect knight's decisive response, with his six black-bean-like compound eyes seeming to reminisce about something, only came to his senses shortly after.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhang Jie, Ms. Wei Zhen Tian, I remembered some past events; let's continue."

"Uh... it's fine."

Zhang Jie helplessly glanced at the publicly embarrassed Weiniya, forcibly burying his curiosity in his stomach; he actually really wanted to ask just now, how does a star-devouring insect emperor learn the oath?

However, from his every move, this oath seems not as simple as Zhang Jie imagined.

Perhaps, after so many years of tribulation, the oath he once practiced has very likely already changed greatly.

And now is precisely a good time for him to satisfy his curiosity.

It's obvious that what Zhang Jie is doing now is precisely evaluating the deep-space knights to determine whether they are a suitable ally.

But actually, as long as Zhang Jie is convinced, forming an alliance poses no problem at all.

After all, in a sense, the power Zhang Jie can mobilize is even greater than Lin Ran's....

"So, may I inquire about this mysterious knight's oath?"

"That's only natural."

The insect knight gallantly guided Zhang Jie to change direction.

"Please come here."

"You have already received the ancestral emperor's spiritual energy, right? If you're willing, you can actually try practicing the oath."

"Good."

Zhang Jie really wants to know what the knight's oath has actually developed into nowadays.

"Originally, the knight's oath had only three clauses, but now it has already developed into seven."

"Only the most outstanding emperor knights are qualified to engrave their own oath."

Saying that, the insect knight pushed open a heavy door for the two of them; on a stele entirely forged from spirit energy crystal, inscriptions were carved that Zhang Jie could barely read.

Weiniya might look at those strange symbols with a face full of question marks, but Zhang Jie, upon seeing them, knew they were the script from the previous simulated world.

Although it has changed considerably, he can still faintly make it out.

"Oath One: A knight shall uphold his original heart—Ancestral Emperor."

"......"

"No, did I say that line?"

From the current clues, he himself should be that so-called Ancestral Emperor.

However, it's understandable that history is fabricated by people; as long as it's fabricated by people, there will inevitably be deviations.

"Oath Two: A knight shall not fear hardship—Ancestral Emperor."

"Oath Three: A knight shall be compassionate and humble—Ancestral Emperor."

"Oath Four: A knight shall sweep away chaos! —45th-generation Emperor Knight."

"Now I will translate the content on the knight's stele for you."

As Zhang Jie was halfway through reading, the insect knight suddenly spoke, saying the content was basically the same as what Zhang Jie had seen.

"Your precepts, if followed, will increase your strength, right?"

The Insect Knight who was about to recite the fifth precept froze for a moment, then nodded.

Zhang Jie pointed at the aggressive precept and asked.

"That means, as long as you slay chaotic things, your strength will increase?"

"Yes, that's correct; the 45th Emperor is a very aggressive emperor."

"He led us to kill the entropy in seventeen star systems... uh, natural disasters."

"So, his precept appears above and has become the object for all knights to follow."

"Your system is really... interesting."

Zhang Jie nodded; the precepts flourishing in their hands is also not a bad thing.

The precepts continue.

"Precept Five: Knights ought to...... — 137th-generation Emperor Knight."

Finally, the content of the Seventh Precept appeared before their eyes.

"Precept Seven: Knights must never betray, never regret — current Golden Emperor Knight."
