Chapter 966: Chapter 961: Kai Begins 1

Whoosh!

Above the Central Star of the Star Empire, a red meteor suddenly shot through the sky.

As the meteor approached, countless battleships and fighters filled all the spaces around the Central Star.

Various floating orbital cannons all aimed at the meteor, and in the center of the Central Star, a giant dark hole slowly opened, taking up almost a third of the star’s surface at a glance.

It looked just like a giant cannon muzzle.

And indeed, this hole was a cannon muzzle.

Energy with deep blue and countless purple electric arcs constantly gathered slowly within the muzzle, ready to unleash its destructive power at any moment.

This was the War Star.

Also one of the pinnacle weapons of human technology.

Likely, like other weapons of time-distorting caliber, the War Star possessed an immensely massive energy output.

A single shot consumed as much energy as the entire Central Star could accumulate in centuries.

Yet just one such shot had once destroyed a medium black hole moving steadily closer to the Central Star.

But all this was meaningless to Lin Xin.

The red meteor came to a halt, brazenly blocking the giant muzzle in the middle of the Central Star.

Utterly unconcerned with the terrifying cannon fire being brewed within the muzzle.

Lin Xin glanced distantly at the War Star Cannon.

"The power inside is decent, but too scattered. Meaningless to me."

Tike was being held behind him, while An Jie had long been instantly killed during his previous sneak attack.

Their power was like that of a slightly larger ant to Lin Xin.

Tike, upon hearing this, could only smile wryly.

He didn’t know how to describe Lin Xin.

Perhaps this person wasn’t human at all, but a god who walked out from a mythology.

His strength was truly outrageous.

So much so that the combined might of the entire Star Empire felt like child’s play in front of him.

Shush!!

Soon, a pure lady wearing a white long dress, along with two attendants, slowly appeared before Lin Xin.

"Mr. Yang, I have been waiting for you."

This lady’s face was pure, her features looked like a masterpiece with no blemish.

Eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, distinctly set against her pure white face.

Her features were like a work of art, which on others would be a compliment for beauty, but for her, it was a rather accurate description.

"The Great Princess? The Great Princess of the Star Empire?"

Lin Xin guessed her identity.

"Here is the key you requested."

Before Lin Xin could respond, the Great Princess presented a massive key glowing with seven-colored fluorescence.

The key was over half a meter long, with some small gaps showing it wasn’t fully complete.

"The millennium key is so crucial, even relates to the secret of Folded Space, and you just give it to me this easily?" Lin Xin asked with a faint smile.

"The previous offenses from the Star Empire against you, I personally am here to repay. To appease your anger, whatever request you may have, we will try our utmost to meet it."

The Great Princess responded coldly, without any change in expression.

"Repay?" Lin Xin reached out and grabbed the key.

The remaining unattached fragments were also separately handed to Lin Xin by the Great Princess.

"What can you repay me with?"

He glanced around at the enormous fleet.

"These fleets are just a breath to me. Even the whole Star Empire can be destroyed within minutes."

"That is indeed a fact," the Great Princess nodded. "However, we have extensive intelligence resources and agents in any area touched by humanity.

We also offer various services, whatever you wish for, whatever the Star Empire possesses, we will present it to you.

These are surely what you need."

"Is that so?"

Lin Xin pondered, considering if the Star Empire truly had this intention, he indeed lacked such assistance.

The entire might of the Star Empire was comprehensive, unlike him who was just a force of pure overpowering strength, perhaps the strongest in terms of military power, but many things couldn’t be solved by force alone.

"However, I don’t appreciate having this pointed at me," he glanced at the Central Star, a flash of red in his eyes.

A flash of black light.

Hiss.....

The War Star Cannon, which was brewing terrifying energy, suddenly grew dim.

The massive energy gathered for over a century vanished rapidly in mere seconds.

As if something had directly swallowed it.

Slight terror passed through the eyes of the Princess of the Stars.

Yet more so was a sense of powerlessness.

This Yang Shen was terrifying; she fully understood the power of the Central Star, an incomparably huge force.

Not to mention the Annihilation Envoy, even a Millennial King cannot withstand a slight graze from this main cannon.

Yet such gathered power, in the eyes of the other party, turned out to be just a glance.

And it completely vanished.

"The stars will fully serve you." The Princess of Stars, together with two attendants, bowed down.

The two people behind her were actually not attendants, but the current Emperor and Empress of the Star Empire. At this moment, they were also pale and speechless, not daring to say a word at all.

The Great Princess of Stars is not from this era, but an ancient being who has lived for a very long time. She is the strongest and most authoritative person in the entire empire.

So the decision she makes is the decision of the entire empire.

"Sign this, work for me, and if you do well, you will not be treated unfairly."

Lin Xin casually tossed out a gray stone slab.

The stone slab shot out swiftly, hovering in front of the Great Princess.

The characters and symbols on it were completely unfamiliar to her. But faced with pressure, she had no choice but to sign it.

Quickly biting her index finger, she signed her name on the stone slab.

With a buzz, the slab exploded into countless specks of dust and vanished.

The Princess of Stars faintly felt that something extremely important to her had departed.

"Well then, let’s leave it at that here. Head to the East Empire." Lin Xin turned around and was about to leave.

Behind him, amid the crowd of battleships, suddenly flew a silver fighter jet at high speed.

The fighter stopped a few thousand kilometers away from him.

"Honorable Yang Shen, I am the current Crown Prince of the East Empire, Belando. We have already delivered the Millennial Key you requested in advance, along with Father Emperor’s most respectful greetings and gift..."

"No need for gifts, where’s the key?"

Lin Xin impatiently interrupted him.

His only interest now was collecting the Millennial Keys, and then uncovering the primordial secrets.

Moreover, these fragments play an extremely vital role in his understanding and perfecting the cosmic rules.

After obtaining the second key, he quickly began to analyze the rules within it.

The more complete his comprehension of the cosmic rules, the shorter the time he would need to unravel the mystery of the Dark Mansion.

"Uh... here’s the key, please keep it well." The East Empire had obviously received intelligence about Yang Shen’s terrifying power. The destruction of one of the three main stars of the Star Empire was such massive news that aside from the Aojia Empire’s upper ranks, who were already destroyed, the rest had actually already received intelligence.

Therefore, the East Empire did not require Lin Xin to personally come over but actively brought the key to him.

A mouth under the battleship opened with a sound, and a small black box floated out, with slight flames spraying from behind it, propelling it rapidly towards Lin Xin.

Lin Xin reached out, and the box immediately accelerated, appearing in his hand in the blink of an eye.

His spiritual power scanned inside the box, verifying that it was indeed the Millennial Key.

Like the Star Empire, this side’s Millennial Key was also incomplete, with one fragment missing.

And that fragment was separately wrapped and placed in a hidden compartment in the box’s corner.

"Not a bad attitude." Lin Xin nodded in satisfaction. Then he glanced at the Great Princess of Stars.

"What is your name?" he asked through spiritual connection.

The Great Princess was startled and immediately looked up at Lin Xin.

"I am asking you a question." Lin Xin repeated.

Hearing the simulated spiritual voice, the Great Princess was finally completely subdued at this moment.

Communicating purely through spiritual power, such means were utterly beyond her imagination as cutting-edge technology.

And such technology seemed to be nothing extraordinary in the eyes of the other party.

"My name is Gulitz Baiwei."

The Great Princess of Stars quickly responded, though her expression remained cold and indifferent.

But this was a sequela left after she fused with Breeding Armor, nerves on her face were dead, and the condition was permanent, impossible to repair.

"Then I will call you Baiwei. I will first go back now; for the Aojia Empire, I need you to quickly send someone to assist my other subordinates to stabilize the situation. For the structure of the three empires, for now, I do not wish to change it."

"I understand." Baiwei nodded.

The internal conflicts in the Aojia Empire were acute, but that was before. As long as this one was present, no matter what conflict, as long as he wished to amend it, coupled with immense power suppression, there would be no problem in the future.

With a sigh in her heart, Baiwei also understood that with this one above her, she was afraid she would not be able to accomplish anything from now on.

Be it conspiracies or plans, everything would lose its meaning in the future.

Before absolute power, everything was fleeting.

"If Your Excellency has any commands, you can inform me, and I will instruct my subordinates to act at once."

The Great Princess said respectfully, also responding through spiritual power.

This was a technique she had just learned. As long as Lin Xin’s spiritual connection still existed, she could reply back.

"Now that everything is peaceful, I will go back first."

Lin Xin turned around and, without waiting for anyone to speak, disappeared into space in an instant.

This was not actually disappearing, but his speed was so fast that others couldn’t keep up with his movement, making him vanish from their line of sight in an instant.

Thus causing a seemingly disappearance.

Lin Xin’s departure left everyone present in silence.

Especially Tike, from previous nervousness and fear to now helplessness and submission, even upon witnessing the East Empire proactively delivering the invaluable Millennial Key, any little schemes he had were completely gone.

This Yang Shen’s level had long surpassed the realm of his understanding.

The small domain of the three empires simply could not contain this individual’s overwhelming power.
