The management system of the Woma Galaxy is inherently flawed, with the ascendants high above and in control of everything, while ordinary people can only struggle and toil at the bottom.
Admittedly, theoretically speaking, as long as the power of faith reaches a certain level, everyone has the potential to ascend.
But the more this happens, the more difficult it becomes to contain the underlying contradictions.
Imagine everyone is worshipping "Ascensioners" in a church, kneeling and praying devoutly every day, but one of them suddenly ascends to heaven. Naturally, the others will feel unbalanced.
That's human nature; no one thinks they've put in less effort than others.
However, under the absolute rule of the Woma royal family, this contradiction will only be deeply hidden, because the believers have no way to access other levels of power, and ascension is the only way to change their fate.
However, if the Woma royal family does something that harms the interests of the entire galaxy in a major matter, and the believers happen to come into contact with other forces under such circumstances, the outcome is obvious.
Due to Vol's personal reasons, the Woma Galaxy lost its right to wage war and was kicked out of the War Council, which damaged the interests of the entire galaxy and also became the fuse for rebellion.
Normally, the lower-level believers have no right to know about such things, but they can't help it because of the tiger's "stirring up trouble"!
At the same time, Chu Yang allowed Hu to carry some super genes, which became a new way out for the believers in the Woma Galaxy.
If those in power run into problems and discover a way to become stronger without any faith, will the "office workers" continue to serve the Woma royal family?
Upon entering Woma Star, Chu Yang used Pangu to locate the tiger and then directly performed a wormhole jump.
In a somewhat dark basement, the burly Tiger was mobilizing the inflamed rebel leaders.
Those who had been brainwashed by their faith were easily evoked by empathy, and their former extreme fanaticism was transformed into intense indignation under Tiger's guidance.
After seeing off the rebel leaders, Tiger plopped down in a chair, muttered under his breath, "A bunch of brainless idiots!"
Back on Earth, Snake always spoke of him in this way, but now, in Tiger's eyes, the people of the Woma Galaxy are truly stupid compared to himself.
Their faith has eroded their thinking abilities to the point that they are too easily controlled.
"It looks like it won't be long before the rebels throughout the entire Woma Galaxy start worshipping you, the Tiger God!"
A soft chuckle drifted over, and Tiger shuddered. He immediately stood up from his chair, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said, "Welcome, my lord!"
Chu Yang appeared, waved his hand and said, "Get up!"
Tell me about your progress!
Tiger stood up, head bowed, and reported, "As instructed by my master, I incited the lower-level believers in the Woma Galaxy and bestowed upon them super genes."
“At the bottom of these people’s gene chains, there are traces of the Divine River gene, so the process of fusing the super gene is very smooth.”
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, "Divine River Gene?"
Tiger nodded and said, "I learned this from an ascendant after I turned him to the side."
Chu Yang was somewhat surprised, "You've even turned ascendants to the enemy side?"
This was truly unexpected for him, since the Ascended Ones were high and mighty in the Woma Galaxy and had absolutely no reason to rebel!
Tiger nodded and said, "After he ascended to heaven, his whole family was killed by Wall, so he harbors deep resentment."
Chu Yang suddenly understood and waited for the next part to continue.
Tiger continued, "Through him, I learned some secrets about the royal family of the Woma Galaxy."
"One of them is the second ascension of the Woma Emperor, which seems to be related to a rune."
"They call it the Ascension Rune, left behind by the scholar who created the Ascension system."
"There is only one Ascension Rune. When the old emperor abdicates, he will pass the Ascension Rune to the new emperor."
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, and some of his doubts were resolved.
He had been thinking that if all the Woma emperors in history could ascend a second time and become the third-generation peak divine bodies with combat power close to the king level, how terrifying would the foundation of the Woma star system be?
The emperor's abdication does not necessarily mean death!
Gods have long lifespans, and with each generation accumulating, how many third-generation peak divine bodies will be created?
In that case, the Woma civilization's status in the universe would be far greater than this, so why should it hide in a corner of the universe?
But if the old emperor loses all his power after abdicating, then everything makes sense.
Seeing a satisfied smile on Chu Yang's face, Hu quickly continued his report: "Another secret is that the Woma royal family controls a place for ascension."
"However, apart from the direct descendants of the royal family, no one knows the exact location of the Ascension Ground."
"The ascendant I recruited has been investigating the royal family, which is how I obtained some information."
At this point, Tiger paused, then hesitated, and said, "The Ascension Ground seems to have gathered a large amount of faith power to ensure that every member of the royal family can ascend."
"Furthermore, every ascendant except for members of the royal family is baptized by an unknown force during the ascension process. I suspect that force also comes from the place of ascension."
"The Land of Ascension?" Chu Yang rubbed his chin. "Interesting. It seems the ascension system is far more complex than it appears!"
After thinking for a moment, Chu Yang said, "Have someone capture a direct descendant of the Woma royal family and extract a complete set of genetic data."
As he spoke, Chu Yang tossed a program pellet over.
Tiger caught the program pill with both hands, swallowed it, and Little Pangu was successfully loaded. Then he bowed and took his leave.
Chu Yang sat down in the basement and established communication with the space-based computing group.
"Senior He Xi, do you have time to chat for a bit?"
He Xi's somewhat weary voice rang out, "Speak! I just led my men to block one of the Heavenly Scum's attacks and reinforced the 19th defense line."
"It is expected that things will be peaceful within an hour."
"You're personally leading the defense?" Chu Yang was taken aback. "Is the attack from the Fallen Angels really that fierce?"
He Xi sighed and said, "The problem isn't with the Fallen Angels, but with the Shadow World."
"A large number of Void Warriors suddenly appeared in the Shadow World. Their condition was extremely unstable, as if they were rushing to their deaths."
"Faced with this desperate fighting style, we can only temporarily avoid a direct confrontation. I don't want our angel warriors to perish alongside those cold machines!"
Chu Yang's eyes flickered. On the surface, it seemed that Karl was trying to put pressure on the angels, but he knew that things were far from that simple.
Those Void Warriors with unstable states are most likely experimental subjects used by Karl for Void gene research.
The research clearly failed, which led to the problems with those Void Warriors.
Rather than saying that Karl was putting pressure on the angels, it would be more accurate to say that he was taking the opportunity to destroy these failed experimental subjects!
This is undoubtedly a move that achieves multiple goals at once; Karl truly deserves to be called the greatest schemer in the known universe.
He Xi seemed unwilling to discuss this topic further, and instead asked, "What do you want from me?"
Chu Yang collected his thoughts and asked in return, "Do you remember what I told you about the Ascension System?"
He Xi hummed in agreement and said, "I remember, but even if you get your hands on the complete Woma royal family genetic data now, I won't have time to study it."
"Why don't we ask our supreme god to personally intervene and help the angels resolve this problem?"
"As long as you resolve the Shadow World and the Fallen Sky, I will be at your beck and call!"
Chu Yang chuckled and said, "Is this what you call the terms for selling yourself?"
He Xi teased, "No, no, no! If you want to marry an angel, I can tie that tomboy up and send her to you after she reassembles her divine body!"
Chu Yang stopped joking and said in a serious voice, "Let's get down to business first!"
"The ascension system is more complex than we imagined. I have discovered some of the secrets of the Woma Emperor's second ascension, as well as the source of gathering the power of faith and creating the ascendants."
Chu Yang paused, pondered for a moment, and continued, "Perhaps we've been wrong about the Woma Galaxy all along; ascension seems to be controllable!"
He Xi asked hesitantly, "You mean... the Woma royal family can directly influence, or even control, the ascension?"
"I'm not entirely sure yet..." Chu Yang said, then told He Xi about Hu's two important discoveries.
After hearing about the Ascension Runes and the Ascension Grounds, He Xi fell silent.
After a long pause, she pondered and said, "It seems that even if I study the genetic data of the Woma royal family, I can only understand part of the principles of the ascension system at most, but I cannot fully replicate it."
"To what extent can you do it?" Chu Yang pressed.
After thinking for a moment, He Xi replied, "I can deduce the underlying data of the ascension system, but I lack the most core part, namely the ascension runes or information about the ascension site."
"The final result will have all the necessary conditions for an Ascended being, but it will not be able to gather the power of faith."
"Simply put, it means creating ascendants who cannot ascend."
Chu Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "That's enough!"
The basic data of the ascendant is the most important part to him. On the contrary, even without the ascension runes and the ascension site, Chu Yang has a way to replace the process of gathering faith power and ascending.
After cutting off communications, Chu Yang left the basement and began a thorough search of Volstar.
Pangu thoroughly scanned Woma Star inside and out, but couldn't find even a trace of the place of ascension.
As for the ascension runes?
That thing is inside the old emperor's body. Chu Yang could forcibly seize it, or even interrogate him about the location of the ascension site.
But now is not the time to take action. Although the Woma Galaxy is not protected by war regulations, even if Chu Yang wipes out the entire Woma royal family, no one can say anything.
The problem is that Karl wants to draw the attention of other civilizations through the war against the Woma civilization, while at the same time trying to keep Chu Yang here and buy time for his plans in the Shadow World.
If Chu Yang were to make a move against the Woma royal family at this critical juncture, Karl's plan would be ruined.
In that case, it would be somewhat unreasonable for Chu Yang, the Speaker of the War Council, to continue to ignore the matter of Angel Nebula.
If even he doesn't step forward to deal with the scum who violated the war regulations, then who will be willing to participate in war control in the future?
