Chapter 909 The Olive Branch of the Heavenly King
Chapter 909 The Olive Branch of the Heavenly King
"Owner."
Empress Jin Yu stepped forward, her voice carrying a hint of respect.
"These are my ten younger sisters."
She paused, then continued.
"They are the most outstanding female warriors in Cygnus, each possessing the strength of a half-step war god."
"I have told them about my master's deeds, and they are all willing to pledge their loyalty to him."
The ten sisters of the Golden Feather Empress stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
"Your subordinate greets Lord Lin Qiye!!!"
Their voices were clear and melodious, yet tinged with a hint of fervor.
"Thank you so much, sir, for saving my sister!!!"
"We will never forget your kindness, sir!!!"
"Your Excellency's power is boundless; we are willing to follow you and serve you faithfully!!!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the ten kneeling women.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
The Golden Feather Empress's ten younger sisters are all peerless beauties.
Moreover, their cultivation levels are all at the half-step War God realm, only one step away from becoming a War God.
"Golden Feather".
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his voice calm.
"I am very satisfied with your ten younger sisters."
A glint of wild joy flashed in the eyes of the Golden Feather Empress.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master!"
The Golden Feather Empress's voice carried a hint of pride.
"Each of them is an elite personally trained by my subordinates."
Lin Qiye's gaze swept over the ten kneeling women, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He raised his hand and waved it gently.
Ten dark golden rays of light surged from his palms and swept towards the ten women of the Golden Feather Clan.
"Buzz—!!!"
The light was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, like a blazing sun that burns eternally.
The pupils of the ten women suddenly contracted.
They could sense that the aura contained within that power was terrifying!
It is a hundred times more powerful than the solar energy within them!
"Thank you, Master!!!"
The ten women kowtowed in unison, their voices filled with undisguised fervor.
"Thank you, Master, for granting me power!!!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the ten women from the Golden Feather Clan.
"very good."
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"From this moment on, you are my people."
A look of wild joy flashed in the eyes of all ten women at the same time.
"Thank you so much, Master!!!"
……
The ten women moved in perfect unison, as if they were one person. They stood with their heads bowed, not daring to look directly at the figure.
Empress Jin Yu stood to the side, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.
These ten younger sisters were elites she had personally trained, and now they all belong to Lin Qiye's command, which has also elevated her status.
"Owner."
The general stepped forward and clasped his hands in salute.
"Report if there is anything you need."
Lin Qiye nodded slightly: "Speak."
The war general took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to my master, the battle at Vega has made significant progress."
His voice carried a hint of excitement: "Our army has successfully captured one-third of the Vega constellation, and the enemy's garrison has been completely routed. We are currently mopping up the remaining forces, and we expect to have complete control of the situation within three years."
"it is good."
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"What about Cygnus?"
The war general's expression hardened slightly: "The Cygnus constellation has been conquered, and all thirty-two female war goddesses under the Golden Feather Empress have submitted. But..."
He paused, seemingly considering his words.
"But what?"
"The cleanup operation against the remnants of the Silver Frost Empress has encountered some difficulties."
The war general's voice deepened: "During their escape, the remnants of the Silverfrost Empress's forces, including Dark Moon, released a large number of corrupted star beasts. These beasts have scattered and begun to spread across multiple star systems. If not dealt with promptly, they could trigger an even greater catastrophe."
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
Star Beast Corruption was an extremely troublesome problem from his past life. Those star beasts corrupted by the power of the abyss would continuously devour the life energy around them, eventually turning into monsters that only knew how to kill.
How far has the pollution spread?
"It has now affected 3,000 star systems and involved more than 10,000 life-bearing planets."
A serious look appeared on the general's face: "If the pollution is allowed to continue to spread, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the war general.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, as if they could see through everything.
"So what do you mean?"
The war general's body trembled slightly, and he quickly lowered his head.
"This subordinate would not dare to have any such intention!"
His voice carried a hint of respect.
"The Lord will decide everything!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the war general.
This former war king truly understood human relationships and social dynamics.
Know what to say and what not to say.
Know what you should want and what you shouldn't want.
He certainly understood what the war general meant.
The problem of polluting the planetary beasts is no small matter.
Three thousand star systems, more than ten thousand life-bearing planets.
If the pollution is allowed to spread unchecked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
However, solving this problem requires a large number of people.
The war general wanted more manpower, but dared not say so directly.
If he asks for people, will Lin Qiye have any other thoughts?
Therefore, he chose to pass the ball to Lin Qiye.
The Lord shall decide everything.
What a shrewd person.
Lin Qiye's lips curled up slightly.
"A war general."
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"Your subordinate is here!"
The general hurriedly agreed, his body trembling slightly.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the female war goddesses beside him.
"I will give you an army of 100,000."
A glint of wild joy flashed in the eyes of the war general.
"Thank you, my lord!"
"but--"
Lin Qiye paused slightly.
The general's heart sank.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate understands!"
He immediately knelt down, his voice tinged with nervousness.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the war general.
"What I desire is not slaughter."
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"What I desire is the integrity of those star systems."
"Do you understand?"
The war general nodded hurriedly.
"Understood!"
His voice was tinged with excitement.
"Your subordinate will lead the army to annihilate all those polluted star beasts, while ensuring the integrity of the star system!"
Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
"Go."
The general stood up, turned and walked out of the hall.
His steps were hurried, clearly indicating that he couldn't wait any longer.
Empress Jin Yu watched the war general's departing figure, turned around, hesitated for a moment, and then took a step forward.
"Owner."
Her voice carried a hint of respect, but also a touch of hesitation.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on her.
"What's wrong?"
Empress Jin Yu bit her lip, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.
"Master, we Cygnus people are most familiar with that area..."
She paused, her voice tinged with anticipation.
"Do you need our help?"
Lin Qiye looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Empress Jin Yu's ten younger sisters also raised their heads in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation.
They had been under Lin Qiye's command for some time, but had never had the opportunity to make any contributions.
Now that they finally have a chance, they naturally want to show themselves.
however--
Lin Qiye waved his hand.
"unnecessary."
Empress Jin Yu's expression changed slightly.
"Owner……"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the Golden Feather Empress and her ten sisters.
"You people of Cygnus, I have other plans for you."
Empress Jin Yu quickly lowered her head.
"Your subordinate will obey your master's orders."
A deep light flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"All male warriors from Cygnus are mobilized."
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"Leave the task of eliminating the polluted star beasts to them."
Empress Jin Yu's eyes lit up slightly.
"Yes, Master is wise."
However, Lin Qiye's next words stunned Empress Jin Yu and her sisters.
"And you—"
Lin Qiye's gaze swept over the eleven women from the Golden Feather Clan, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"You have more important things to do."
Empress Jin Yu's heart skipped a beat.
"Master, please give your orders!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the Golden Feather Empress's protruding belly.
"My bloodline needs more bearers."
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"I want all the suitable candidates from your Cygnus constellation."
Empress Jin Yu's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.
She had long anticipated this day.
I never expected that the man in front of me would want it all!
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate understands."
She took a deep breath, her voice filled with determination.
"Your subordinate is willing to share your master's burdens."
Her ten younger sisters also knelt down.
"I'm willing too!"
Their voices were clear and melodious, yet tinged with a hint of fervor.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the eleven kneeling women.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"very good."
"I will personally perform the bloodline baptism for you."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of arrogance.
"As long as you can withstand my power, your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds."
"And your descendants—"
A deep light flashed in his eyes.
"They will inherit my finest bloodline."
A glint of wild joy flashed in the eyes of the Golden Feather Empress.
She certainly understood what that meant.
If they can successfully give birth to Lin Qiye's offspring, their status will be completely secure.
And their descendants will become the most dazzling presence in Lin Qiye's bloodline map.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Master!"
Eleven women from the Golden Feather Clan kowtowed in unison, their voices filled with barely concealed excitement.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the eleven kneeling women.
……
at the same time.
Auriga, the main star region.
King Tenno sat upright in the palace, his brows furrowed.
A scout stood before him.
"What did you say?"
His voice carried a hint of disbelief.
"The Silver Frost Empress...has fallen?"
The scout nodded quickly.
"Reporting back to Your Majesty, the intelligence is accurate. According to our scouts, Empress Silverfrost perished completely in her battle with Lin Qiye..."
The Heavenly King's expression became extremely solemn.
Empress Silverfrost is a being at the level of a half-step human king.
Moreover, she also allied herself with the Abyss and gained the power of the Blood King.
How could such a being perish so easily?
Tell me more.
The scout took a deep breath and began his report.
"According to intelligence, Empress Silverfrost used the full power of the Blood King at a crucial moment in the war. But in the end, she was still defeated by Lin Qiye."
"Even the projection of the Blood King was driven away by Lin Qiye."
The Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted.
"What? A projection of the Blood King?"
His voice was tinged with shock.
The projection of the Blood King is a terrifying existence capable of destroying constellations.
The Silver Frost Empress was able to summon a projection of the Blood King?
More importantly, Lin Qiye was actually able to defeat the projection of the Blood King?!
"This is impossible!!!"
He stood up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief.
"How could Lin Qiye be this strong?!"
The scout lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly.
"Your Majesty, everything I have said is true. This is intelligence brought back by our scouts at the front, who risked their lives to deliver it."
The Heavenly King's expression turned extremely ugly.
He originally thought that Lin Qiye was just a relatively strong half-step human king.
But now it seems the situation is much more complicated than he imagined.
"Just what level has Lin Qiye's strength reached?"
He muttered to himself, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
"Could it be... that I have truly reached the realm of the Human King?"
He shook his head, dismissing the idea.
The Human King realm is the pinnacle of martial arts, and for ten thousand years, apart from His Majesty the Great Emperor, no one has been able to reach it.
How could Lin Qiye have reached this level in such a short time?
But if he wasn't at the Human King level, how could he possibly defeat the projection of the Blood King?
At that very moment—
"Report—!!!"
Another scout strode in and knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!!!"
The Heavenly King frowned deeply.
"What's wrong now?"
The scout took a deep breath, his voice tinged with shock.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lin Qiye's fleet has entered the Vega constellation!"
"According to our intelligence, all the star systems in Vega have surrendered to Lin Qiye!"
"Vega...has been completely taken over by Lin Qiye!!!"
The Heavenly King's face instantly turned ashen.
"What?!"
He suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a chilling killing intent.
"Vega has been taken over?!"
His fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Vega, that's one of the most important constellations in the Galactic Empire.
It has a vast population, hundreds of millions of planets, abundant resources, and an extremely important strategic location.
This important territory has actually been occupied by Lin Qiye?!
"hateful--!!!"
He let out an angry roar, and golden light surged wildly around him.
"Lin Qiye!! How dare you!!!"
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Now is not the time to get angry.
He needed to figure out exactly what level Lin Qiye's strength had reached.
"Pass down the order."
His voice was as cold as frost.
"I will personally go and meet that Lin Qiye."
The strategist stepped forward, a hint of seriousness flashing across his face.
"Your Majesty, this matter is probably not advisable. Lin Qiye's strength is unfathomable. If Your Majesty were to go there rashly, it might be dangerous."
The Heavenly King's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You knew too?"
The strategist immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I dare not! I am only concerned for Your Majesty's safety."
The Heavenly King snorted coldly.
So...
The strategist lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.
But a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind.
That Lin Qiye, who was able to defeat the projection of the Blood King, is definitely not to be underestimated.
If Your Majesty goes there rashly, you will likely suffer a great loss.
But he was just a strategist and had no right to refute the Emperor's decision.
"Go ahead."
The Heavenly King waved his hand.
"Go and see for yourself what Lin Qiye is capable of, with my sincere intentions."
The strategist stared wide-eyed, completely dumbfounded!
The Heavenly King wanted him to test Lin Qiye?
To send a strategist like him, who is powerless to even kill a chicken, to face an existence capable of defeating the projection of the Blood King?
Isn't this just suicide?
"What? You don't want to?"
The Heavenly King's gaze fell upon him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
The strategist trembled violently and immediately knelt down.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He knew that this was a test from the Heavenly King.
If he refuses, he'll probably die even faster.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate is willing to go!"
The Heavenly King nodded slightly.
"very good."
He stood with his hands behind his back, his voice calm yet exuding an undeniable authority.
"Remember, this is my expression of sincerity, not a declaration of war. Don't mess it up!"
The strategist nodded quickly.
"Understood!"
The Heavenly King narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
"There's one more thing."
The strategist raised his head, his eyes filled with doubt.
After a moment of contemplation, the Heavenly King slowly spoke.
"Before the Silver Frost Empress fell, she asked me for help."
The strategist's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Wh...what?"
A complex expression flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly King.
"In her letter of appeal, she said that she had discovered the truth about His Majesty the Great Emperor's resurrection."
The strategist's body trembled violently.
"The great emperor...is he back in power?"
The Heavenly King nodded slightly.
"According to Empress Silverfrost, His Majesty the Great Emperor is about to awaken. And the price of this awakening will be the lives of the entire universe."
His voice carried a hint of solemnity.
"That's why she turned to the abyss."
The strategist's face turned extremely ugly.
"To seek refuge in the abyss... is it to escape the resurgence of the great emperor?"
The Heavenly King shook his head slightly.
"Who knows?"
He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the vast sea of stars in the distance.
"Maybe she's crazy, or maybe she's telling the truth."
"But in any case, I must find out the truth."
He turned around and his gaze fell on the strategist.
"So, there's one more thing you need to figure out when you go this time."
The strategist quickly asked.
"What is it?"
The Heavenly King's voice was deep and solemn.
"The relationship between Lin Qiye and His Majesty the Great Emperor."
The strategist's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Your Majesty means..."
The Heavenly King nodded slightly.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor has suddenly awakened and requests an audience with Lin Qiye."
"And Lin Qiye suddenly appeared and was even able to defeat the projection of the Blood King."
"Don't you think there's a connection between these things?"
The strategist's face turned extremely pale.
Why are you telling me this?
I am merely a strategist!
They simply cannot bear such a huge truth!
The strategists were cursing the Heavenly King to death in their hearts!
He really didn't know what to say!
The Heavenly King truly trusts him; he even tells him such a secret...
Or perhaps, the Heavenly King already considers him a dead man?
So you're not afraid of your secrets being leaked?
He took a deep breath, his voice carrying a hint of determination.
"Understood!"
"I will definitely find out the truth!"
The Heavenly King nodded slightly.
"Go."
"Remember, proceed with caution."
The strategist stood up, bowed respectfully, and turned to walk out of the hall.
His retreating figure carried a hint of determination.
He knew this was a mission with a slim chance of survival.
But he had no other choice.
Refuse, or you'll die at the hands of the Heavenly King!
As for how things will turn out after meeting Lin Qiye, it's still uncertain!
……
Vega - Grand Court Headquarters
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back in the palace, his gaze sweeping over the respectfully kneeling crowd below.
Empress Jin Yu stood beside him, her slightly protruding belly barely concealed by her long golden dress.
Her ten sisters knelt on either side of the hall, their eyes gleaming with fanaticism.
After being baptized by Lin Qiye's bloodline, their cultivation levels have all undergone a qualitative leap.
Originally only at the half-step War God realm, they have now all broken through to the Interstellar War God realm.
Such a terrifying rate of improvement would cause a sensation if it were announced to the outside world.
But in Lin Qiye's eyes, this was simply a matter of course.
"Owner."
Jiang Yulan stepped forward, her voice carrying a hint of respect.
"The Aquarius has sent someone."
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Auriga?"
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"One of the Heavenly King's men?"
Jiang Yulan nodded quickly.
"Yes, Master. The other party claims to be a strategist of the Auriga constellation, named Pegasus Ichi."
"Pegasus One?"
A playful glint flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"Interesting name".
He stood with his hands behind his back, his voice calm yet exuding an undeniable authority.
"Let him in."
Jiang Yulan quickly agreed.
"Yes, Master!"
She turned and walked out of the hall, and soon returned with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a blue robe, with a refined and scholarly demeanor, and exuded a faint scholarly aura.
But if you look closely, you'll notice a sharp glint in his eyes.
That was the aura of someone who had long held a high position.
Tianma strode into the main hall, his gaze immediately falling on Lin Qiye.
Then--
His pupils suddenly contracted.
What a powerful aura!
With just one glance, he felt the oppressive aura emanating from Lin Qiye.
That oppressive aura was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, like a deity looking down upon all living beings.
He had served by the Heavenly King's side for hundreds of years and had seen countless powerful figures.
But I have never seen such a terrifying existence.
"Greetings, Lord Lin Qiye!"
He immediately knelt down, his voice filled with respect.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Tianma Yi.
"What brings the Heavenly King here?"
Tenma took a deep breath, his voice carrying a hint of respect.
"Reporting to Lord Lin, His Majesty the Heavenly King heard of Lord Lin's deeds in the Vega constellation and specially ordered me to come and pay him a visit."
He paused, then continued.
"Lord Tianyu greatly admires Lord Lin's strength and wishes to form an alliance with Lord Lin to jointly maintain the peace of the Galactic Empire."
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Form an alliance?"
He murmured softly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"The Heavenly King has certainly made a good plan."
Tianma Yi's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Lord Lin is too kind. King Tianyu's actions are entirely out of loyalty to the Galactic Empire."
"The Silver Frost Empress has betrayed humanity by siding with the Abyss. Lord Lin, unwilling to witness further tragedy, stopped her atrocities. King Tianyu greatly admires you and sincerely hopes to form an alliance with you!"
His voice carried a hint of sincerity.
"If Lord Lin is willing to form an alliance with Lord Tianyu, the two sides can share resources and refrain from aggression. This would benefit both sides."
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Tianma Yi.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, as if they could see into people's hearts.
Under that gaze, Tianma felt a chill run through his body, as if everything about him had been seen through.
"Resource sharing? Non-aggression pact?"
Lin Qiye murmured softly, a playful smile curving his lips.
"What qualifications does the Heavenly King possess?"
Tianma's face turned deathly pale instantly.
