Chapter 400: Wormhole Network! Chu Yang: When Are You Planning to Come Marry on Earth?

People always have two sides; even on the surface, everyone was exhilarated by Chu Yang's return, and frenzied by his strength.

But there are always some who, out of self-interest or various purposes, hold an antagonistic attitude toward Chu Yang.

And among them, if just one holds a high position, they possess the power to shape public opinion.

The power Chu Yang displayed in the projection was like a demon god descending, his demonic aura surging heavenward, utterly unlike his former methods.

In this situation, as long as someone with intent gives a slight push, the direction of public opinion can be shifted,

No matter the civilization, large numbers will not be swayed by public opinion; they will blindly follow without knowing the truth.

There are also others, like Su Xiaoli and Qilin, who, when worried, become chaotic and are likewise easily swayed by public opinion.

That's why they staged such a grand show, summoning representatives of all major civilizations and directly declaring on the council to activate the 'Wormhole Network'.

The Wormhole Network, during Chu Yang's absence, was built by the Angel, Demon, and Earth civilizations leading the gathering of top technologies from all major civilizations into a cosmic-scale wormhole system.

With the help of all civilizations, the Wormhole Network covers sixty percent of the known universe's area, nearly encompassing the star domains of every civilization.

In short, it is a large-scale wormhole algorithm; once activated, it allows instantaneous wormhole jumps within the network's coverage, ignoring distance and obstacles.

Actually, given Qilin and Su Xiaoli's status in the known universe, once they made this request, no one in the council dared to oppose it.

After all, when the Wormhole Network was first constructed, the main persons in charge were Ge Xiaolun, He Xi, and Qiangwei.

Among them, Ge Xiaolun and Qiangwei are considered Chu Yang's disciples, while He Xi has an 'ambiguous' relationship with Chu Yang.

With this connection, the Wormhole Network is practically Earth voluntarily offering a technology to be shared with all major civilizations.

However, to fully cover the Wormhole Network, the support of all major civilizations is indispensable.

Of course, this so-called ambiguity is merely baseless gossip spreading through the cosmos...

But the problem is, once rules are set, if someone breaks them and sets a precedent, authority is lost.

Especially those who break the rules still come from Earth, which leads the War Council.

Thus, Pan Zhen and Xin Chi, who just spoke up to dissuade, also have deep ties to Earth.

"Yo ho... this is lively?"

The sudden voice startled everyone present.

You know, this is the Supreme Conference Room aboard the War Ship, and the War Council is in session.

Under these circumstances, no one, regardless of status, may enter without permission.

The War Ship's defense and internal systems will isolate any outsiders from the meeting.

If anyone attempts to force entry, the War Ship will take compulsory measures.

With the weaponry equipped on the War Ship, even a Fourth-Grade Divine Body would find it hard to force a breakthrough.

For a Third-Grade Divine Body, there would be no place to bury the corpse!

Actually, the most important thing is not the War Ship's defense system, but the status of the War Council throughout the cosmos! In the current known universe, not only are the War Regulations, but every provision related to the War Council, even unwritten rules, is an inviolable existence!

Once someone violates it, it means they will be attacked by all civilizations united, becoming the common enemy of the cosmic gods.

Ask yourself, besides the Earth Three Gods and Supreme God Chu Yang, who would dare to be an enemy of the world?

So when an intruder was discovered, everyone was surprised but not nervous; instead they all turned to see which reckless fool it was—but when they saw who it was, everyone's expressions froze.

Two graceful figures, like flowing light, left trails in the air and flung themselves into that person's embrace.

"You went to all this trouble and still lack confidence in me?" Chu Yang patted the pretty girl's back, his voice full of amusement.

"It's fine as long as you're okay..." Qilin quickly steadied her emotions, stepped back half a pace, and spoke softly.

Seeing her like that, Su Xiaoli also felt embarrassed to keep clinging to Chu Yang's arms; she withdrew somewhat unwillingly, but her autumn-water eyes were filled with lingering affection that seemed ready to turn into silk...

"Welcome back, Supreme God!"

The people present also reacted, all turning to Chu Yang to pay respects, though each performed the rites of their own civilization, appearing varied and colorful.

Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "I have some understanding of recent events; the War Council has not strayed from its original purpose, nor has it disappointed my expectations."

"You've all worked hard; when you go back, please also help me clarify..."

Chu Yang's voice paused, then he said with a half-smile, "Although I took a trip into the void, I have not been contaminated by the void."

Everyone's hearts chilled; since Chu Yang had heard those rumors, this matter could not simply be brushed aside.

Even if Chu Yang does not act personally, they must give an explanation! The Supreme God entered the void alone, risking his life to seek peace for countless beings in the cosmos; now that he has achieved success and retreated, to be criticized behind his back would be utterly heartless.

Everyone knows that if you make Chu Yang unhappy, the entire known universe will never know peace!

Former Chu Yang had already ascended to supremacy, towering over all beings; now he returns with great force, his overall strength reaching a terrifying level.

In this situation, if Chu Yang wished to become the ruler of the known universe, it would hardly be difficult.

Know that besides his personal strength, Earth's current overall strength and technological level are equally capable of sweeping the universe!

Everyone stepped forward to greet Chu Yang, then each took their leave; soon the conference room held only the three of them—a married couple.

Chu Yang casually pulled over a chair, sat, and smiled, asking, "Looks like during my absence, Old Du hasn't been idle, huh!"

"First, tell me about the Wormhole Network!"

"On my way back, I discovered this wormhole system; although it has some loopholes, overall it's quite successful."

"At least without the support of a Grand Clock–level celestial computer, achieving this is no small feat."

Qilin said softly, "We didn't participate in the specific research process, but we have some understanding of the core theory..."

"The overall framework was jointly built by He Xi and Qiangwei, while Ge Xiaolun used the Void Controller of Qiankun to give the Wormhole Network relative stability."

"Finally, Leyana provided energy support, but since the Wormhole Network's completion, it has never been put into use."

Chu Yang nodded and said, "If put into use, while it would make communication among civilizations more convenient, it would also infinitely magnify the originally negligible loopholes."

"If accidents occur frequently, trouble is inevitable."

"Using it as a strategic means, activating it in wartime would undoubtedly become a trump card in the council's hand!"

The 'leakage' Chu Yang mentioned is actually just a matter of poorer stability.

If maintained for long-term operation and used frequently, it is inevitable that some will suffer accidents during wormhole jumps.

It's like, in the Qi‑dueling world, stepping into an unstable planar passage and being engulfed by a spatial storm.

But if a wormhole jump goes wrong, it can be even more dangerous than a spatial storm. For a simple example, a wormhole essentially transports a person or object from one location to another.

If an accident occurs, the transport may only be partially completed, for instance…

A person's upper half could be whisked away by the wormhole while the lower half remains behind, which is no different from dismemberment.

However, if activated during wartime, it would undoubtedly greatly increase the mobility of the major civilization armies in Xuzhou.

Imagine, if the known universe erupts into a full‑scale war and the northern front becomes critical, once the Wormnet is activated, reinforcements from all directions would arrive instantly, naturally turning the tide.

"The stability and bugs of the Wormnet aren't hard to fix, but I'm not very familiar with the algorithm…"

Chu Yang thought and said, "Qilin, help me get in touch with Qiangwei and ask whether, with sufficient energy support and after solving the Wormnet's stability issues, she can expand its coverage area?"

If this can be accomplished, it will greatly aid his upcoming plan.

Qilin nodded and immediately began interfacing with Qiangwei.

Su Xiaoli pursed her lips and muttered softly, "Why start handling official business right after coming back…"

Chu Yang naturally heard her, but just as he was about to speak, Pan Gu's voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and said softly, "Lift the shield, filter out unnecessary communications, and route the remaining traffic to the Warship."

Pan Gu completed the entire sequence instantly, and the final projection materialized in the conference room.

Seeing the familiar figure in military uniform, Chu Yang smiled and waved, "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, hope you're well!"

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 grinned, "You kid finally made it back!"

Although he was smiling, the projection showed 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 were slightly reddened.

"Stop being pretentious; you're so eager to find me, it can't be just for a reunion, right?" Chu Yang waved his hand.

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 nodded, his expression turning a bit serious, and said gravely, "Two matters: first, the void creatures."

"The War Council has already launched three successive exterminations of void creatures, and the third purge is currently underway."

"However, we still lack confidence that we can completely eradicate the void creatures!"

"These guys are like indestructible cockroaches; they infiltrate everywhere and reproduce at an extreme rate!"

Chu Yang said softly, "On the way back, I've already learned something about this matter."

"I will have Pan Gu interface with you to lock onto all known void creature origin sites in the universe."

"The rest shouldn't require me to act personally, right?"

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 Su Xiaoli and Qilin and said helplessly, "That means Wukong will have a hard time!"

"The two behind you, upon hearing you returned, quit on the spot, leaving only Wukong to run around alone now."

"Without a Super God-level Celestial Computer, only the three of them can deliver a devastating strike on the void origin sites."

Chu Yang thought for a moment, then said, "That's easy; I'll have Pan Gu upgrade Ge Xiaolun's Qiankun, so he can lead a massive force to assist Brother Monkey."

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 understood; he was clearly protecting his two wives, pulling a roundabout rescue of the nation.

Otherwise, at such a critical moment, having the two Earth Archons drop the ball would be hard to justify.

"I'm afraid many others will be looking for you, so I won't take up too much of your time."

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 clearly had already received Pan Gu's interface request, waved his hand and said, "When you get back, bring Wukong, and we'll have a drink together!"

Chu Yang smiled and nodded; after 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 projection vanished, another projection immediately took its place.

"Chu Yang! You actually knew to come back?!?"

The familiar figure, the familiar voice, but the angry yet slightly aggrieved tone sounded every time like a scorned woman abandoned by a jerk.

Feeling Qilin's and Su Xiaoli's gaze, Chu Yang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said irritably, "Why are you so angry? Do angels have menopause?"

He Xi was stung and didn't know what to say, glared, then got straight to the point: "You promised me, old lady, to help upgrade the Heavenly Base Computing Cluster, but you ran into the void and forgot about it, right?"

"Believe it or not, I'll tell you both wives in person about how you pulled up your pants and refused to pay!"

Chu Yang's expression suddenly turned odd; when He Xi and he interacted before, there were few restraints, but not to the point of speaking without filter! What has this old woman gone through during his absence? It's as if she has opened her meridians.

"Alright, alright! The promise I made to you, I naturally won't break!"

Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "Pan Gu will soon interface with the Heavenly Base Computing Cluster and upgrade you!"

"Also, give Yan a message!"

"Ask her when she plans to marry and come to Earth?"

"As Ge Xiaolun's instructor, I can fully upgrade the Sacred Knowledge Protection, which will be slightly stronger than a Super God-level Celestial Computer, consider it a bride price!"

Having said that, without waiting for He Xi to speak further, Chu Yang unilaterally cut off the communication.

The Super God-level Celestial Computer is the new term for the known-universe computer of the Great Clock tier.

In the past, the Great Clock stood alone, so there was no need to categorize a level.

But Pan Gu's existence further raised the ceiling for celestial computers, making the Great Clock no longer unique.

Next, Chu Yang connected with several advanced civilizations, but most were merely Archons making small talk and conducting simple probes.

After he dismissed each of them, Qilin came over and said softly, "Liangbing and Qiangwei want a face‑to‑face meeting with you…"

Chu Yang squinted, nodded, and said, "Let them come over, and also bring Leina and Ge Xiaolun!"

"Hmm." Qilin replied lightly, and after establishing contact, she led Su Xiaoli away first.

They had previously been eager to see Chu Yang; although emotions were involved, their main concern was the disorder.

Since it has been confirmed that Chu Yang is not contaminated by the void, there is no rush on that side to linger with him.

Both women clearly understand that Chu Yang's return inevitably brings a multitude of matters to handle.

After everything is arranged, he will eventually return to Earth, where there will be ample time for family affairs.

For both the demon civilization and the angelic civilization, Earth has built independent Super Giant Worm Bridges that allow rapid back‑and‑forth travel.

So, not long after, Qiangwei and Liangbing arrived at the Warship.

Ge Xiaolun and Leina, upon receiving the message, rushed from Earth and Mars at once. (End of chapter)
