Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Nuazai had sufficient reasons to believe that once any force disrupted this facade of peace, the rulers of various star system groups might truly rise up and overthrow the rule of the Martial Hero Race.

Who doesn’t want to be the supreme being?

Who doesn’t want to be revered as the Cosmic Emperor?

Who doesn’t want to obtain the vast resources of the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall?

Nuazai knew he had to quickly solve the iron-based life form that had intruded into the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, not giving the rulers of the star system groups the slightest chance, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.

Knowing was one thing.

Whether the iron-based life form could be dealt with was another matter.

Clearly, Nuazai temporarily had no way to resolve the situation.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have crossed over ten billion light-years to Earth for help.

”Does the heavens really want to destroy my Hercules?”

Nuazai was deep in thought.

Suddenly, Li Luo pointed at the virtual screen and shouted, ”Look quickly, is that the iron-based life form code-named ’Annihilation’?”

Annihilation?

The iron-based life form that invaded the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall?

Nuazai, Kazi, and the remaining Martial Hero Race elders were stunned.

Although they were on their return journey, the distance from the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall was billions of light-years, how could ’Annihilation’ appear here?

At first, everyone thought Li Luo had made a mistake.

Even so, everyone still looked at the virtual screen immediately.

The virtual screen showed an iron-based life form with a fiery red body, so large that its end couldn’t be seen.

This iron-based life form had a distinctive feature—at the top of its head’s vertical horn, a ”ring” that seemed like a high-tech product was hanging.

Everyone could immediately confirm that it was indeed the iron-based life form that had previously caused chaos at the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall!

Nuazai was slightly stunned, ”Why is it appearing here?”

Another elder of the Martial Hero Race, whose face was full of scars, speculated, ”Could it be that it gorged itself at the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, and then opened a wormhole to instantly travel here?”

Kazi pondered and said, ”It’s possible. Otherwise, how could it appear here?”

The others thought the same.

Suddenly, Nuazai started laughing heartily, ”Haha, hahaha!”

Li Luo looked over, puzzled, ”Great King, why are you suddenly laughing so joyously?”

”Haha, haha.” Nuazai continued laughing, ”Why else? This iron-based life form has finally left the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall. We don’t have to worry about it causing too much destruction and panic anymore.”

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Initially, their minds were full of questions, puzzled as to why ’Annihilation’ would appear here, neglecting the most critical issue—that ’Annihilation’ had already left the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall.

Yes, since ’Annihilation’ had already left, the Martial Hero Race could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, it’s better their friend dies than them. As long as this iron-based life form doesn’t threaten the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, they couldn’t care less about who it harms next.

As for Nuazai’s courageous words to Lupar and others about maintaining cosmic peace—it was, honestly, just nonsense.

If the iron-based life form hadn’t intruded into the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, threatening the Martial Hero Race’s rule, he wouldn’t have bothered to come to the Milky Way Galaxy for help, let alone maintain any cosmic peace.

The Martial Hero Race members were buoyant, as if seeing the dawn of hope.

After a moment of relief, Li Luo posed a question, ”Great King, based on my spaceship scan analysis, there’s an 11.2% chance that ’Annihilation’ will head towards the Small Magellanic Cloud, a 23% chance towards the Triangulum Galaxy, a 14.7% chance towards the Large Magellanic Cloud, and a 21.1% chance towards the Andromeda Galaxy, but the probability of it heading towards the Milky Way Galaxy is as high as 30%, the highest of all. Should we inform the Galaxy Alliance?”

If it were before, Nuazai would have been unconcerned about the Milky Way Galaxy’s fate.

But having recently learned that Lu Li had a treasure that could grant immortality, he naturally wanted to curry favor.

”Notify the Galaxy Alliance,” said Nuazai, pausing as if remembering something, then added, ”When you do, be sure to inform the Galaxy Alliance that if they need any help, we will offer our full support.”

Kazi frowned and asked, ”Great King, do we truly intend to aid the Milky Way Galaxy?”

”Maintaining cosmic peace is everyone’s responsibility,” Nuazai said, casting a meaningful look at everyone: ”This is our Martial Hero Race’s way of survival—an extra friend is an extra path, an extra enemy is an extra barrier. Furthermore, even if we do send troops for aid, they don’t have to be from the Martial Hero Race. We can also send troops from other star system groups within the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall.”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood his intentions.

Nuazai intended to leverage this ”cosmic peace maintenance” as an opportunity to weaken the power of other star system group rulers within the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall!

They were well aware of the iron-based life form’s might—a force absolutely unmatched by intelligent life. So-called reinforcement was just sending troops to their deaths.

Thus, once Nuazai gave the order for the star system group rulers within the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall to send troops, it was essentially weakening their power.

Clearly, through this incident with the iron-based life form at the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, Nuazai realized that the influence of the local ”Vassal Princes” was too great. It wasn’t a good thing, so he began employing emperor’s stratagems to centralize power further.

This was one aspect.

The other aspect was that the Martial Hero Race could also curry favor with the Galaxy Alliance, perhaps even ingratiate themselves with Lu Li.

Why so?

It’s a simple logic—no matter which star system group’s ruler dispatches troops to aid the Milky Way Galaxy, it would ostensibly be under Nuazai’s order, representing the Martial Hero Race.

In the end, regardless of whether they could eliminate ’Annihilation’, the Galaxy Alliance would only remember that the Martial Hero Race sent reinforcements, not questioning which ”Vassal Prince” sent the troops.

This strategy kills two birds with one stone.

Weaken the power of the ”Vassal Princes” and potentially forge a bond with the Galaxy Alliance, maybe even win favor with Lu Li.

The Cosmic Emperor is truly worthy of the title. In such a short time, he devised such a plan, truly impressive.

Li Luo, Kazi, and the other elders of the Martial Hero Race marveled secretly.

...

Galaxy Alliance.

A day had passed since Lupar and others held the meeting.

Today, he was following the routine of having a top physician examine his body.

After all, as he aged, he needed regular check-ups.

The instruments had just started scanning when a young Dadi Race member knocked and entered.

The young member of the Dadi Race looked somewhat anxious, but upon seeing Lupar getting his check-up, he held back and quietly stood waiting.

Lupar, who had become the previous ”Lord of Ten Thousand Stars,” was naturally no idiot; he could see at a glance that this tribe member had urgent news, judging by his expression.

He waited until one part of the check-up was done, then proactively addressed the doctor, ”Dr. Luo Ke, we’ll end today’s examination here.”

Dr. Luo Ke, also of the Dadi Race, hesitated, ”But...”

Lupar raised a hand, ”It’s decided.”

Dr. Luo Ke dared not say more, quickly directing staff to use floating devices to move the equipment out.

Once the medical staff had exited, Lupar looked at the young man, speaking softly, ”Is there something significant going on?”

The young Dadi Race member’s crystalline body glimmered with a red hue, indicating his deep anxiety.

He promptly replied, ”Yes, Venerable Lupar, just now the Cosmic Emperor sent information that an iron-based life form code-named ’Annihilation’ might be attacking our Milky Way Galaxy!”

What?

An iron-based life form is heading toward the Milky Way Galaxy?

Venerable Lupar’s face changed sharply, immediately realizing the severity of the situation.

He couldn’t afford to waste any time, immediately commanding, ”Quickly gather Didan, Dapu, Saint Garo, De Kuerde, and the leaders of the four major spiral arms for a video conference. Meanwhile, use this time to thoroughly introduce to me the detailed information about the iron-based life form code-named ’Annihilation’!”

Lupar’s face was grim as he gave these instructions.

During yesterday’s meeting, they thought the iron-based life form couldn’t possibly impact the Milky Way Galaxy so soon, yet they hadn’t expected it to arrive today.

He knew they needed to obtain as much detailed information about the iron-based life form known as ’Annihilation’ as possible and find a way to handle it; otherwise, the Milky Way Galaxy... would be in grave danger!
