Chapter 678: Chapter 682 Interstellar Heartthrob (Part 1)

After she had detached from the previous world, the moment she returned to Chaotic Space, she was struck by a massive wave of Faith Power. It sent her flying backward for several meters.

Su Li was instantly bewildered, and when she regained her composure, she couldn’t help but click her tongue in astonishment.

She had spent the latter half of her life hidden away in the deep mountains and forests, doing nothing. Yet, here it was—so dense that it had formed into a liquid. She had no idea where it had come from.

This delighted her immensely. The essence of her soul, which was already concentrated, ascended another level. Tao Yao and little bug reaped tremendous benefits from it as well.

Naturally, Su Li was unaware of what happened in the aftermath of her last life, as she relied entirely on the memories of the Merit Master.

What occurred after Cong Shan, who had helped outsiders steal the Faith of the small world, had died was unknown to the original owner, and thus Su Li was also clueless.

In this lifetime, Su Li had inadvertently made contributions to the salvation of the world.

The consciousness of the world was not stingy about such a matter.

In any case, however it was obtained, the fact that she gained benefits made Su Li exceptionally happy.

She was still overjoyed when the next Merit Master arrived.

This time, the person was somewhat special.

Clearly a woman, yet dressed in men’s clothing, with a buzz cut and an upright posture, it seemed nothing could ever bend her spine.

Her whole appearance exuded a dashing and heroic bearing, androgynous, stunningly handsome to the point where one wanted to scream.

Yet, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and her world-weary gaze prevented people from mistaking her for a naive youth.

When this woman spoke, her low, slightly hoarse voice could also make one question her true gender.

Had it not been for Su Li’s special skill in discerning people, someone else might have thought the person before them was a handsome young man rather than a chic young lady.

The woman’s speech immediately revealed that she was exceptionally well-cultured, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

But there was an uncomfortable sense of regret, lament, and compassion in her flat recounting of her brief life’s story, and even a palpable, empathetic rage.

This lady’s life could be described as magnificent and filled with intriguing twists and turns. One might admire her choices and yet resent her for her soft heart.

Such complex emotions were all because of this person.

Even though Su Li had seen much of the world and understood countless human hearts, she still marveled at her greatness.

Simply because she was a great yet complicated woman.

Given her situation, placed on anyone else, no one could willingly sacrifice themselves for the happiness of others as she had.

Su Li admitted to herself that she was selfish to the extreme and could not do it, but that didn’t stop her from admiring such people.

Compared to Cong Shan from her previous life, this woman truly embodied great kindness.

The lady, who still shared the name Su Li, had an identity that was both simple and not.

The simple part was that she was an interstellar lord.

In the age of the vast universe, becoming an interstellar lord was an incredibly easy task.

Drifting in the universe were countless large and small planets.

The large ones were huge enough to effortlessly support billions of people, while the small ones were so tiny that one could cover them multiple times in a minute by piloting a Mecha.

Among them, apart from the planets suitable for living, there were also garbage stars and some resource-depleted asteroids that had been abandoned.

As long as a citizen wished, they could randomly choose a small asteroid to be certified by the Federation, and they would become the lord of that planet.

However, rarely anyone would do such a thing because becoming a lord meant you had to pay certain taxes to the Federation every year.

This unprofitable endeavor was for fools only.

And the Merit Master was one of these fools.

Her extraordinary nature also lay in the fact that she was a lord, but of a garbage star.

Becoming the lord of this planet was not her wish, but responsibility compelled her not to watch the entire planet’s people being forced to die.

So, she took up this burden, and it was a lifetime commitment.

In the vast universe, a garbage star without an interstellar lord would be destroyed.

If there were no living beings on the planet, it might be somewhat manageable, but for those who lacked the capacity to move and could only remain, it was a disaster.

The lowly commoners were never considered in the grand scheme of the Federation.

In the great cosmic era, living space began to shrink as the population skyrocketed.

Although there were many planets, those suitable for human habitation were becoming scarce for the rapidly increasing human population, not to mention those habitable planets that contained ores with excessive radiation.

This type of planet was chosen only by those without other options.

And the planet where the lady lived had once been such a mine star.

But once the resources within the planet were exhausted, it completely became a place where other planets dumped their trash.

As for the original inhabitants and the miners’ descendants who lacked the means to leave, who cared about them?

And this lady was actually just passing through this garbage star as a temporary stop.

However, later, seeing the imminent fate of the old, weak, sick, and disabled, she stepped forward and chose to become the lord of this planet.

She thus avoided the crisis of being destroyed by the Federation.

But what followed were the burdens of taxation and a host of ordinary citizens clamoring for sustenance.

When those small, soft children, who had only been around for a few years and could only rely on the old people’s tales for a glimpse of green, looked up with adoring eyes, the soft-hearted woman took on responsibilities and obligations that were not hers to bear.

To sustain these people, she came forward, racked her brains, and exhausted every strategy to organize a ragtag army, skirting around the planet and relying on stealing and looting scarce resources nearby to support them.

Because of Su Li’s cunning nature, she also gradually developed the planet.

However, her reputation grew worse.

Snow Mine Star became a notorious bandit star nearby and was despised by others.

Yet because their activities were minor, they did not catch the Federation’s attention.

Even so, everything had to yield to survival.

Su Li thought all her efforts were worthwhile.

Even though Su Li’s disreputable name was well-known around her, others could insult her, but the commoners of the garbage star should be grateful to her forever.

However, all these thoughts were the lady’s own, a bit too theatrical perhaps.

In reality, they might have truly felt grateful at the beginning, but the harsh living conditions quickly retracted their fleeting hearts of emotion.

They began to blame the lord for not providing a better life.

Even her own daughter failed to fully understand her heart.
