I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 282 Ascension and the Power of Faith, the Precarious Sun Star

Chu Yang had a clear purpose in making arrangements for the four beast gods: to gather intelligence!

Earth's intelligence network is too closed, and because the War Council has become a target of public criticism, if Chu Yang were to openly send people out to gather intelligence, he would definitely be targeted.

As for using information channels?

In the known universe, besides angels, who else would share intelligence with Earth?

Even angels wouldn't tell Chu Yang important information, especially about the Angel Nebula.

Yan Ke didn't have Keisha's nonchalance; she always remained wary of Chu Yang.

That's why Chu Yang sent Leopard to the Angel Nebula to gather firsthand intelligence.

Following Earth, the Angel Nebula has become another turbulent place in the universe, with the Shadow World in turmoil within and the Fallen Ones led by Hua Ye eyeing it covetously from the outside.

All civilizations are eager to see whether a new Angel Queen will continue Keisha's legend, or whether the Celestial Order will make a comeback, bringing angels back to the male era.

With Sori in Chu Yang's hands, the Nebula of Life became a scattered mess. Various civilizations coveted this piece of the pie, but they were also wary of Sori, this overpowered god, and dared not make any rash moves.

Even though Sori has been controlled by the Demon Seed of the Dao Heart, Chu Yang does not intend to let him go back. Instead, he has other plans, which is why he sent Xiong to take over.

Karl is currently very busy. On one hand, he is dealing with measures against the Void Battlefield, on the other hand, he is constantly on guard against Chu Yang's attack, and he also has to push things along behind Hua Ye's back. He simply doesn't have the time to manage the Styx Galaxy.

Although the five beast gods had only briefly appeared on Earth, Chu Yang used his Origin Qi to help them conceal their existence, so there was no information about them in the universe.

Even the Great Clock couldn't detect anything amiss, so even if the Serpent reigned supreme in the Styx Galaxy, Karl wouldn't suspect a thing.

Moreover, in this turbulent time, if Karl doesn't want the Styx Galaxy to descend into chaos again, he will have no choice but to reluctantly accept this local tyrant in his own territory.

To put it bluntly, it was about being granted amnesty.

This is equivalent to Chu Yang planting a spy, or an "undercover agent," next to Karl.

Of course, once the source energy is no longer obscured, the Great Clock can read the snake's information.

But don't forget that Chu Yang obtained a portion of the sacred knowledge treasury's technology from Yan, including the "analysis algorithm" that corresponds to the Great Clock.

Using this technology, Chu Yang altered the snake's information. Even if Karl used the Great Clock to read it, he could only read that the snake came from a dead intermediate civilization, a genetic code that had been dormant for many years, which had traveled to the Styx Galaxy and was revived by chance.

As for why Chu Yang sent Hu to the Woma Galaxy...

This was certainly not a revenge attack because of that hothead Wall; he wouldn't bother with such a minor character.

There are two purposes for doing this. First, the Angel Civilization, Woma Civilization, Life Civilization, and Styx Civilization are located in the four directions of the known universe, and are the leaders in their respective regions.

Chu Yang wanted to start with these four civilizations to muddy the waters. Karl would definitely seize the opportunity to accelerate the process of connecting to the void, and at the same time, he could also weave an intelligence network.

On the other hand, it was to provide the Woma civilization with a unique divine body upgrade system.

Ascend!

The indigenous people there call God the Ascended One!

This was something Chu Yang only learned after receiving a portion of the data from the Sacred Knowledge Treasury.

The term "Ascension" really startled him at the time, and then piqued his interest.

But he soon discovered that these so-called ascendants, like Sorey, possessed great power and special characteristics, but in a sense, they were all paper tigers.

Sori's ability to fuse stars and then explode is a talent; otherwise, he is weak and helpless, and his greatest reliance is atomic fusion technology.

He doesn't have super genes, or even a physical body, so Chu Yang can't obtain his genes or bloodline factors, and therefore can't replicate his power.

So Chu Yang directly took control of Sori, wanting to make this guy work for him.

But the Woma civilization is different. Their so-called ascension is actually a kind of evolution, and it is an evolution on a national scale!

The root of evolution is not super genes, but seems to be... faith!

It must be said that those who were able to participate in the Super God Academy were either extreme madmen or genius scholars.

Morgana and Karl are the former, while Kai'Sa and Zilean are the latter.

The scholar from the Woma civilization was somewhere in between.

In the Woma civilization, the Woma royal family holds absolute prestige and an unshakeable position, but it is more like a religious organization, with all the people of the Woma civilization being believers.

That scholar cast a wide net, releasing countless genes into the Walmart civilization. These genes are hidden at the very bottom of the genetic chain of every Walmart person.

When someone gathers enough faith, or when their own faith reaches a certain level, they can unlock their genetic potential and become a god in one fell swoop!

This is a process of instant advancement, but the drawback is that the upper limit is not high; at most, it can only create three generations of divine bodies.

Moreover, the strength of an "Ascended One" depends on the power of faith they possess at the time of ascension, which leads to a wide range of divine strength among the Woma civilization.

This is an unchangeable evolution, with no room for growth.

For example, if an ascendant has a first-generation divine body after ascension, then he can never upgrade to a second-generation divine body.

Due to the unique nature of his genes, even Karl, who possessed the Great Clock, could not change this situation.

Only the Woma Emperors of each generation could break free of their shackles and undergo a unique transformation, upgrading to the third-generation divine body in one fell swoop.

Chu Yang was very interested in this ascension system. If he could crack the key technologies within it, he could once again raise the upper limit of the ultimate gene!

The Woma people, relying on the faint super gene mixed at the bottom of the gene chain, can ascend to the third generation of gods with the help of faith.

Chu Yang, who already started with the ultimate gene, would undoubtedly experience a significant boost in strength if he could "ascend."

But to understand the underlying principles, we first need to determine what is so special about the so-called power of faith.

Therefore, Chu Yang sent Hu to create chaos and damage the prestige of the Woma royal family.

As prestige decreases, so too will the power of faith, and the resulting impact will be readily apparent.

After the four beast gods left, Chu Yang looked at Hong Lei.

This was the first beast god he created, which stayed by his side the longest and was also the most powerful.

Although Sun Honglei's fighting power is not as good as Monkey King's, he can definitely be called a powerful weapon.

With its peak third-generation beast form and the star-driven power brought by the Sunlight gene, it's practically a walking, inexhaustible source of energy.

He alone can support the energy consumption of a huge fleet!

"Come on! Let's go see an old friend!"

Chu Yang patted Hong Lei on the shoulder and led him directly into the wormhole.

.........

A bar in Juxia City.

In the corner seat sat a beautiful woman with a stunning figure, wearing a leather trench coat, tall boots, and black stockings that covered her long legs.

Especially her signature bright red lips, which attracted the attention of all the men in the bar.

Also attracting attention was a couple who had just entered the bar.

The person walking in front was a young man, handsome and dashing, with an extraordinary air about him. Many girls along the way were giving him flirtatious glances.

The burly man behind him was even more eye-catching, because this guy was dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses, looking just like the Terminator, and he also had short red hair, making him look extremely unconventional.

Many people were a little puzzled that someone would wear such an outfit to a bar.

He appeared to be the young man's bodyguard, but bringing a bodyguard to a bar, especially a low-end one, was even more puzzling.

Shouldn't people of this caliber frequent nightclubs?

After entering the bar with a clear goal in mind, Chu Yang went straight to a corner and plopped down next to a girl with bright red lips, asking with a smile, "Beautiful lady, all alone?"

Many people who witnessed this scene looked on with mockery.

This wasn't the first man to approach her, but the previous ones had all ended up looking foolish because the woman was so aggressive.

One of the men, enraged, tried to attack, but the woman easily subdued him with one hand.

Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly smiled and said, "What? Trying to pick me up?"

Chu Yang curled his lip and said, "I don't want that brat Yaowen to come after me."

Lena shrugged, picked up her glass and downed it in one gulp, then asked, "What do you need me for?"

"Say it here?" Chu Yang asked back.

Lena thought for a moment and decided that this wasn't the place to talk, so she stood up and said, "Let's go! Don't keep me from getting to my next event!"

And so, amidst countless astonished gazes, Chu Yang swaggered out of the bar with Reina.

That night, the bar's sales hit a new record high, with the vast majority of men completely drunk.

They couldn't figure out where they went wrong, no matter how hard they tried.

Aside from being handsome and seemingly a rich young master, what makes this guy better than me?

They won over a goddess of that caliber with just a few words, and they didn't even want to imagine what would happen next.

Is this what money power is?

…………

At the top of the Pearl Tower, Chu Yang and Lena leaned against the mast, while Hong Lei stood ramrod straight not far away, looking exactly like a bodyguard.

Looking down at the bustling city below, Chu Yang asked softly, "You're supposed to be a god of the Blazing Sun Civilization, why are you acting like a heartbroken little girl?"

Lena was silent for a moment, then said, "There is a Chinese saying: 'Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering.'"

Chu Yang knew that the reason Lena was so depressed, and even went to Shanghai to drown her sorrows, was because the dream had had a great impact on her.

That's a dream world on a divine level; being in it is no different from reality.

But the problem is...

Lena is a goddess; no matter how much alcohol she drinks, she can't possibly get drunk!

Chu Yang stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "Come with me to Lieyang Star. I need to talk to Pan Zhen about something, and I need your involvement."

Lena glanced at him, shook her head, and said, "No! Can't you see I'm feeling melancholy?"

"I know you're powerful. You could easily crush me with one hand, or even hang the entire planet Lieyang up and beat me up."

"But I said I'm not going, and that's final. Even if you push me off this cliff, I won't agree!"

Lena is extremely single, and now whenever she thinks about what happened in her dream, she wishes she could live in a different universe.

Actually, she didn't experience anything too tragic in her dream, but many of her experiences were just too shameful...

Most importantly, when she was thrown back to Earth, she was still unable to escape from the dream, and many of her ugly moments were witnessed by the rookie soldiers of the Super Soldier Corps.

Lena simply couldn't bear the blow and didn't even want to face Cheng Yaowen, so she simply ran away.

"I obtained the complete dream genetic code from Morgana. You should know very well that all of Blackwind's memories are contained within the genetic code."

Chu Yang said lightly, "If I were to materialize my memories of you, and let Yaowen and the Super Soldier Squad..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lena stood up straight with a serious expression and said solemnly, "No need to say anything more! Instructor! I'll go to Lieyang Star with you!"

"You are my instructor, and your orders are military orders!"

Seeing her righteous and indignant demeanor, Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled, gesturing teasingly downwards with his lip, "Don't I need to push you down?"

Lena's eye twitched, and she turned her head away as if she hadn't heard anything.

…………

The Sun Star, the Royal Palace.

Looking at the towering Heavenly Dao Tower outside, Chu Yang clicked his tongue and said, "Is this the highest technology of your Blazing Sun Civilization? Are you interested in selling it to me?"

Lena was yawning not far away, looking completely nonchalant.

Pan Zhen's face darkened. The man behind him, wielding a halberd, raised an eyebrow and coldly shouted, "Insolence!"

Pan Zhen's eyelids twitched, and he quickly glared at the man, signaling him not to say anything more.

Chu Yang tilted his head and looked at him, smiling as he asked, "You are Xuan Tianji?"

Xuan Tianji slammed his halberd heavily on the ground, puffed out his chest, and declared, "I am none other than the Fiery Sun Star Tiger Fiend Protector!"

"Idiot..." Lena, who was not far away, sighed and gave an accurate assessment.

Xuan Tianji's expression froze. Although he only obeyed Pan Zhen, Lena was, after all, the Queen of Lieyang, and he dared not offend her.

Chu Yang looked at Pan Zhen with great interest and asked, "You think you can carry out the Heavenly Dao Plan with this idiot as your guide?"

Pan Zhen frowned, feeling somewhat displeased at the way his top general was being belittled, but he quickly realized what was happening, and his pupils contracted rapidly.

"The Heavenly Dao Project? What Heavenly Dao Project?"

Pan Zhen was clearly a little guilty, and while speaking, he glanced at Lena.

Lena was also somewhat surprised, and shrugged at Pan Zhen, indicating that it wasn't the information she had revealed.

Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "No need to hide it, I know exactly what you're thinking."

"I'm not here to cause trouble today. I know that Lieyang Star is very unstable right now and could collapse at any time."

"I can help you solve this problem, and I can also help you immigrate to the Chiwuheng star system."

"But don't even think about taking over Earth, or you should know the consequences!"

After a pause, Chu Yang continued, "Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Earth is only able to maintain a friendly relationship with Lieyang because of Lena; otherwise, I would have sent people to attack us long ago."

"I want complete continuous star-driven technology, as well as solar nuclear fusion technology."

"Just a heads up, the situation on Lieyang Star isn't as simple as it seems."

"I can help you find out the truth, so the price you paid isn't a loss!" (End of Chapter)
