Chapter 1938 - 44: Great Fusion (Part 7)

Lu Lin Haohan saw this scene, and his heart was incredibly complex.

As a senior figure within the organization, he was transferred to Karon Star, commanding all matters related to the Phantom Spirit Clan.

Today happened to be the day he took over from the previous Resident, who had killed a Peak Control Level entity in battle with the Desert Worms and was badly injured, so now needed to return to headquarters to rest, while he was sent by Su Changqing as the new Resident.

At first, Brother Hero was extremely nervous because he knew the scale of the battles with the Phantom Spirit Clan was massive. It was the current Star Alliance’s forward base in the fight against the Desert Worms, and as the Resident, he was effectively the authoritative figure in this base, carrying an unimaginable weight on his shoulders.

Moreover, his predecessor was none other than his mentor on the path of cultivation - Lord Bear.

Given Lord Bear’s strength, he was severely injured in battles with the Insect Race, having to return to headquarters to rest, would he, only being at Middle Control Level, really be able to manage here?

Brother Hero had little confidence in his ability to be a competent Resident.

Though he had been part of the Star Alliance for almost fifty years and had undergone various trials, even portraying a Savior in some civilizations under Alien Species attack.

But this place is Karon Star, the main battlefield in the Star Alliance and the Phantom Spirit star system with the Insects; the struggles here are the most intense and fierce. This battlefield is well-known throughout the Star Alliance.

Star Alliance’s First to Third Fleets are here, and even over ninety percent of the Beller Clan drones Zhang Xiaoman brought back are used here. Four Godslayer Level drones have been directly thrown into the battlefield, and one even fell during a recent fierce battle. This shows how fearsome the battlefield in the Phantom Spirit star system is.

Even though Brother Hero had gone through decades of refinement, he had changed significantly; he was still uncertain whether he could control the situation here.

He was also worried that his strength, not being as great as Lord Bear’s and not yet reaching Upper Control Level, would cause the Phantom Spirit Clan to doubt him, leading to unnecessary conflicts.

Before coming here, Brother Hero even mapped out numerous possible scenarios in his mind in case someone would be unwilling to comply because of this, and what measures he should take.

Yet all these thoughts and notions vanished after he saw how those people treated the Master of the Stars.

Kidding, with such fanatic appearances, where would he require any political maneuvers? Just revealing his identity as a Divine Envoy would probably make them want to elevate him to the sky.

He turned back to look at his wife Tang Yuan and his two sons, seeing them also wearing shocked expressions, which made him feel a bit better.

Seems like I’m not the only one stunned. Zhang Xiaoman really knows how to amaze; somehow, he managed to astound these blue-skinned people. Buddy really didn’t misjudge him; he is indeed unparalleled when it comes to fooling people.

Sure, saying it like this, but Brother Hero understood it’s not just about fooling people.

Decades ago, Zhang Xiaoman still needed to rely on fooling others to rise, even borrowing power. But now, things are different.

Years have gone by; Brother Hero is no longer who he once was, and Zhang Xiaoman, naturally, is not the same pretender he used to be.

There is a feeling now that Zhang Xiaoman has become someone Brother Hero can only look up to.

Brother Hero completely can’t see through Zhang Xiaoman’s strength now, nor does he understand what level he’s reached, just knowing he’s very strong, extremely strong — strong enough that even high-level beings from the Second Universe run over one after another just to meet him.

The image of the Godslayer Team rushed into Brother Hero’s mind.

Despite their eccentric personalities and independence, their strength is truly formidable, with the lowest at Upper Control Level; the highest, Black Soul, has already advanced to Transcendent Level. The True God Level Domain is absolutely something a mortal like Brother Hero needs to look up to.

Yet such an existence is cautious before his brother, being respectful even when mentioning his name, which is indeed hard to fathom.

Brother Hero even heard that Black Soul once nearing the end of his lifespan was able to break through to Transcendent Level thanks to Zhang Xiaoman’s assistance.

Various signs indicate his good brother has long since left them far behind, walking deep into this cosmic journey.

"Okay, okay, quit looking so surprised. Your father is here to show you the world and give you real battlefield experience, so don’t be those flowers in the greenhouse, spoiled!"

Brother Hero skillfully reprimanded his two sons, seemingly forgetting he was wearing almost the same expression earlier.

This time, Brother Hero didn’t come alone; he brought his wife and children along.

The current saying for Brother Hero might be "One person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." It’s not just his wife Tang Yuan who has made some achievements in cultivation; both sons have become Awakeners of the Star Alliance.

He puts it as his two sons needing experience and, since he’ll be stationed on Karon Star for a long time, having them by his side for personal guidance, he definitely doesn’t want these treasure sons spoiled.

"Dad, does the statue depict Uncle Zhang Xiaoman?"

The two children are nearing adulthood now, having grown up hearing about Zhang Xiaoman, but haven’t seen him due to his busy nature.

"You little rascal, Zhang Xiaoman isn’t someone you can casually call! Privately, you can call him Uncle Zhang, but with outsiders, you should address him as Star Lord or Lord Jixing."

Brother Hero gave each a flick on the forehead, reminding them to remember.

He looked at the earnest praying crowd outside again and said:

"Also, don’t get surprised by everything you encounter. The Star Alliance has saved dozens of such civilizations in this universe, and there are even more fervent believers than this. You, as part of the Star Alliance, if you get surprised everywhere you go, wouldn’t you embarrass our organization?"

Blah, blah, blah.

Brother Hero rarely had the opportunity to indulge in the authority of a strict father, lecturing the two kids thoroughly, leaving Tang Yuan impatient by his side, pinching him hard on the waist, causing him to wince and halt.

"Alright, alright, it’s almost my turn; watch closely as I go up and impress... I mean, guide them."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and get going; all you’re doing is talking nonsense while people are waiting."

Tang Yuan urged.

Brother Hero wasted no time, directly activating Dark Speed, turning into a streak of light and disappearing.

The two sons were envied by what they saw, but their strength was still weak, and such a Second Stage and above Dark Speed require at least Control Level to perform — they’re far from it yet.

Meanwhile, down on the Central Court Square, the Phantom Spirit Clan had completed their prayer ritual under Yadun’s guidance, awaiting the descent of the Divine Envoy.
