Chapter 291: One Sword Subdues the Galaxy! From the Mythic Ziwei Imperial Star!

Outside the Chiwu Star System, at the galactic core.

This sudden war almost encompassed the entire galaxy except the Chiwu Star System, with armies from a dozen civilizations clashing and stirring the whole galaxy.

Planet after planet was affected, but most were not habitable worlds.

Most of these civilizations' forces were technologically armed, with few super‑warriors, yet two advanced civilizations each fielded a commander who was a third‑generation divine body.

The region at the galactic core became the battlefield for those two civilizations, while the others prudently withdrew to the corners of the galaxy to fight.

The two third‑generation divine bodies first sparred with algorithms, then clashed with each other's arsenals, yet they were evenly matched.

Thus they simply abandoned all tactics and engaged in close‑quarters melee.

Both knew their strengths were nearly equal, and without external interference neither could overcome the other.

Rather than stalemate, they chose close combat to boost their troops' morale.

The move clearly worked; both sides' soldiers seemed electrified, and the battle entered a white‑hot stage.

But just as the two third‑generation divine bodies fought fiercely, a white lightning suddenly streaked in from afar.

The white lightning was so fast that even the two divine bodies couldn't react, let alone anyone else. "Buzz!!"

At the instant the white lightning approached, the two faintly heard a subtle tremor in space.

They could hardly believe their ears; space is supposed to be absolutely stable.

Not even a lightning strike, let alone a stellar explosion, can disturb space.

Precisely because of this, black holes and the void have become synonyms for the unknown and mighty.

Yet the white lightning gave them no time to think; a brilliant cold flash flickered, and the two, along with thousands of warriors on both sides, froze instantly.

Only then did the white lightning halt, revealing its true form: a plain‑styled white longsword.

Unlike most weapons in space, it lacked a high‑tech look, appearing as an ancient relic unearthed from a ruin.

The next moment, everyone struck by the white lightning shattered like broken porcelain, their bodies turning to dust and drifting through the vast void, including the two third‑generation divine bodies.

The horrific scene instantly silenced the battling armies; everyone involuntarily retreated, eyes filled with terror.

Not only this battlefield, but all the major civilizations' forces that had been watching also halted, each face thick with dread.

Immediately after, four streaks of light, like chasing stars and chasing the moon, whistled in, surrounding the white ancient sword, forming four massive beast shadows.

The white longsword quivered slightly; the plain patterns on its blade suddenly glowed, a flash of violet light burst forth, rendering the designs dazzling.

Initial Release: Ziwei!

A radiant star floated above the Heavenly Gate; under the illumination of the Ziwei Imperial Star, warriors of the great civilizations faintly saw a phantom.

Terrifying imperial aura swirled, four Sacred True Spirits encircled, and the phantom seemed like an ancient deity reigning! They suddenly felt that facing this deity, if they did not bow obediently, they would be mercilessly annihilated the next instant.

Someone, unknown, suddenly knelt in midair, the whole body prostrating, then it toppled like a line of dominoes.

Scattered across the galaxy, warriors of the great civilizations knelt one after another, trembling with fear.

At that moment, Hong Lei arrived before the Heavenly Gate, looked at the kneeling warriors of the great civilizations, and coldly said, "You have violated the war statutes, but my lord Chu Yang, considering the circumstances, will not pursue the matter."

"But if you continue to ignore the war statutes, who wishes to keep fighting? My lord will intervene personally and erase you, along with the civilizations behind you, from the universe!"

Finishing his speech, Hong Lei knelt on one knee toward the Chiwu Star System.

Simultaneously, the Heavenly Gate emitted a tremor, the imperial aura grew more terrifying, the Ziwei Star pressed down slowly, and some nearby individuals, unable to bear the dreadful aura, began to disintegrate.

But the next instant, the Ziwei Star burst apart, and the Heavenly Gate retracted its power, returning to its plain appearance.

The four Sacred True Spirits gradually shrank, enveloping the Heavenly Gate, and flew toward the Chiwu Star System, with Hong Lei following closely.

The warriors of the great civilizations followed each other's gaze until no shadow remained visible; only then did they sigh in relief as if granted a pardon, yet still no one dared to stand.

Juxiahao, Command Center.

Having witnessed everything that occurred in the galaxy, everyone in the command center was deeply shaken.

"That… that seems to be… Ursa Minor?" Lianfeng's eyes were vacant.

Jiegusding shook his head, "Impossible! Even if it were a giant star, it couldn't wield such majestic power!"

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao inhaled deeply, trembling, "An ordinary planet couldn't, but what if it's a mythic planet?"

"Ursa Minor, known on Earth as the Ziwei Imperial Star, in Huaxia legend it, together with the Big Dipper, guards the two sides of the Heavenly Gate…"

Jiegusding's mouth twitched as he examined Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao, asking, "Since when have you become so familiar with Huaxia legends?"

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao slowly steadied his emotions, sitting in his chair, "When I first met Wukong, I briefly learned about Huaxia legends."

"Since Chu Yang appeared, I've increasingly felt that Huaxia legends hide supreme mysteries."

"But unfortunately, I've gained nothing."

Jiegusding shrugged, "It's not that you gained nothing; at least through this knowledge you can confirm Chu Yang's power indeed stems from the legends!"

"Or perhaps… he is the embodiment of the legend!"

At that moment, Chu Yang suddenly appeared in the command center, smiling, "Talking behind others' backs isn't a good habit."

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao glanced at the star map on the screen; the galaxy still teemed with countless lights, and he tentatively asked, "Will those people leave?"

Chu Yang shook his head, "I don't know, but even if they stay, they won't dare continue fighting."

"In several public occasions before, I mostly dealt with third‑generation divine bodies; although I could easily subdue them, I never delivered a killing blow."

"The great civilizations fear me, yet not to the point of dread."

Chu Yang returned the authorization of De Nuo No. 3 and continued, "Their mindset still lingers in the era when Kaisha was the king of gods, believing that even the strongest deity is only slightly stronger than Kaisha."

"This time, I eliminated two third‑generation divine bodies from afar in a second; this power far exceeds Kaisha's."

"They will understand that Kaisha once represented the known universe's combat power ceiling, but I can set the known universe's combat ceiling!"

These words were confident and arrogant, yet undeniable facts.

These people broke the war statutes; Chu Yang only killed a few troublemakers, not erasing them all, which already counts as leniency.

Without rules there is no order; if these people aren't made to pay, the war statutes become a joke.

"Will Huaye still dare to come?" Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao asked another crucial question. He already knew Chu Yang's deal with the angels, but if Huaye were likewise restrained by Chu Yang, unwilling to cause trouble, and chose to bypass the galaxy to head straight for the Angel Nebula, that would be a self‑defeating move.

Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! He still has hope in his heart, and that comes from the confidence of the black hole engine."

"For some people, compared to death they want to obtain certain answers even more."

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao didn't quite understand his words, or more precisely, aside from Kaisa, no one in the Super God World could grasp Chu Yang's meaning.

Kaisa's thoughts have already risen to the pinnacle of life, overlooking the entire known universe.

Chu Yang, on the other hand, adopts a god's perspective, overlooking the whole Super God World.

As he says, in pursuit of answers, many people are even willing to abandon their lives.

For example, Kaisa wants to see how Morgana and Karl would destroy her sense of justice, and she calmly chooses death.

Another example from the original plot: He Xi, to understand and dismantle the black hole, risked his own life and ultimately fell.

For them, the greatest meaning of life is the process of seeking knowledge, because they have lived too long…

Some higher beings in the universe, more or less, share this mindset, but due to differing personalities, few can be as serene as they are.

Karl, to study the void, discarded his flesh and became a phantasm, which is also a form of abandoning life.

Hua Ye wants to become king, not just the king of angels but the king of the entire universe! Chu Yang is the biggest obstacle on his path to the throne, so Hua Ye will see to it, by any means, whether Chu Yang can truly be invincible in the universe.

Unlike Karl, he has never witnessed true void, so he believes that black holes and supernovae are the most destructive forces in the known universe.

But supernovae have limitations; no one would foolishly wait beside a star about to explode.

If Kaisa had not willingly faced death back then, there were many ways to resolve that crisis.

Hua Ye could naturally learn from Karl that Chu Yang was also on Emerald Star at the time, yet he withdrew his whole body at the instant of the explosion.

Therefore, for Hua Ye, killing Chu Yang with a supernova is unrealistic, and detonating a star in the galaxy is even more so.

Only a black hole is the sole opportunity to defeat Chu Yang!

Regardless of success, he'll give it a try! In his view, even if he fails, at least he'll cause some trouble for Chu Yang, and he can take the chance to lead people to escape.

At worst, he'll reclaim the throne, rebuild the Heavenly Palace order, then hide in the Angel Nebula, keeping a clean distance from Chu Yang.

From start to finish, Hua Ye never regarded Yan as an opponent; to him, Yan is just a yellow‑haired brat.

As for the Celestial Base King He Xi?

With the black hole engine, aside from Kaisa and Chu Yang, who can stop his steps?

But he would never think that Chu Yang had already decided to forcibly take his black hole engine.

If Hua Ye knew of this, he'd definitely not enter the Red Crow Star System, even if beaten to death.

Snatching the engine with absolute confidence—this is completely off the charts!

After pondering for a long while, Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao suddenly said, "Should we take the initiative to strike?"

Chu Yang replied irritably, "I really should have you represent Earth at the War Council to see those old foxes!"

"I personally drafted the war statutes, and now you make me lead people to provoke war."

"If I actually do that, which civilization will obey the war statutes thereafter?"

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao felt a bit awkward; he had been so focused on Chu Yang's power that he completely forgot the war statutes.

After coming to his senses, Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao frowned and said, "But if Hua Ye attacks Earth, that's also a violation of the war statutes. If we let them leave, would…"

Chu Yang waved his hand, "Violating the war statutes will cause all major civilizations to unite and attack."

"Don't make the War Council seem like I'm a dictator; there's no reason I have to solve every problem that arises."

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao's eyes lit up, "So… you're pulling external support for the angels?"

"I guess so! That way Brother Monkey also has a legitimate reason to step in!" Chu Yang shrugged, "He Xi helped me with some matters, Yan also did me a favor; I can't just keep taking advantage."

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao suddenly understood, increasingly feeling that Chu Yang is unfathomable, and resolved never to offend this guy again, even deliberately keeping some distance.

This guy is really too shady!

Being his enemy, one probably won't even understand how they died at the moment of death!

Chu Yang suddenly changed tone and asked, "Does the Super God Branch have research data on phantasms?"

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No!"

"In the known universe, probably only Karl possesses this technology."

"Suo Rui is an exception; he is born as a half‑phantasm, his true form being a star. Without genetic data, we cannot study him."

Chu Yang nodded, said no more, stood up, stretched, and said, "I'll head back first. If anything comes up, call me. Jiaweis still needs some time before the upgrade is complete."

"As for Hua Ye…" Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao hesitated.

Chu Yang waved his hand, "He won't act in the short term, but once the angels fully invade the Shadow World, he'll have to act!"

After speaking, he took a step into a wormhole, and his figure vanished.

"Sneaky! Too sneaky!" Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao exclaimed.

Jiegusting pulled a phone out of somewhere, held it to his ear and pretended, "Hello! Chu Yang! Old Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao scolds you!"

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao's face instantly turned black, while Lian Feng covered his mouth and chuckled beside him.

The three are old friends; since Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao's awakening, Earth has faced crisis after crisis, and their nerves have remained on high alert.

Now Chu Yang has held up a sky, and they can finally relax, but unfortunately Jiegusting is only left as a clone.

During the next month, Chu Yang finally had some leisure; Su Xiao Li still hadn't completed evolution, which is a process of life ascension and naturally takes a considerable time.

In that month, Chu Yang spent most of his time in the Soul Palace, and Jiaweis finally, amid everyone's hustle, succeeded in upgrading to Pan Gu!

Although only the first edition, it already surpasses the Sacred Knowledge Treasury and Qian Kun, approaching the level of the Great Clock infinitely.

There are still some technical challenges unresolved; once further breakthroughs occur, it can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Great Clock! Besides the computing system, Pan Gu also includes a void controller and a void engine.

This is an independent and complete system, fully compensating Chu Yang's technological shortcomings! (End of chapter)
