Chapter 1116 Who knows if you're weak right now?
"Why is my right hand all wet... it looks like it's covered in sweat?" Ye Ge asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xueling immediately lowered her head deeply, her face flushed red, too ashamed to utter a sound.
Long Ying smiled slightly: "It seems that Minister Ye Ge has been a bit weak lately, your hands are sweating. When you come to the palace later, I will have the imperial kitchen prepare some dishes to help you recover."
Night Song: "..."
"Weak?" Ye Ge retorted, reaching out to pinch Long Ying's delicate cheek and scoffing, "Whether I'm weak or not, Your Majesty, don't you know?"
"Tch, that was before," Long Ying said. "You used to flirt with all sorts of women, who knows if you're still feeling weak now."
Night Song: "..."
At this moment, the lights in the conference hall of all races came on.
The chairman, as the president of the Light Alliance, came out together with the three remaining of the Five Elemental Gods.
"It seems everyone has arrived."
The cold, emotionless voice of the Golden Spirit Divine Official rang out, like the friction of metal, "There are two main reasons why I have invited all the races here today."
"One of these things is probably already known to everyone."
"It's about a mysterious weapon that the Night Clan of the Human Race suddenly test-fired some time ago—the Star of Heavenly Path."
As soon as the words were spoken, the leaders of all races in the Great Hall of Myriad Races turned their gazes toward the human race.
The human race's seats were on the second floor of the Hall of Ten Thousand Races. Although Ye Ge was not the ruler of the human race, he was sitting in the middle seat, while Long Ying, as the empress, sat to his left.
Of course, no one would find this inappropriate. Everyone knows very well who the human race has relied on to develop so rapidly in recent years.
The expressions in the eyes of the rulers of various ethnic groups were complex and difficult to describe.
In the past, what right did humans have to enter this great hall?
But now, in just ten short years, things have truly changed dramatically...
Especially the two Soul Emperor realm experts who recently broke through to the human race, and the Heavenly Star that appeared a few days ago!
Its power was so great that even a peak Soul Emperor would have to be wary of it!
The sheer power of that single explosion utterly destroyed the entire Underworld City, including over a dozen Soul Emperor realm experts—none of them survived! Reduced to dust by the terrifying destructive force of the Heavenly Star's explosion, it's said that not even a trace of their ashes could be found…
These powerful figures, who once considered themselves the pinnacle of all races, believed that their cultivation was sufficient to protect themselves in future turmoil, with only the lowest ants dying. But the appearance of the "Star of Heaven" is like a Damocles' sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment! Who can remain complacent?
At this moment, all scrutinizing, wary, and inquisitive gazes were fixed on Ye Ge, as if Empress Long Ying beside her was merely air.
Long Ying felt the invisible focus on her, but instead of being annoyed, a subtle smile of pride appeared on her lips.
After all, Ye Ge is her man!
"Hmph, the human race's momentum is truly unstoppable lately." King Gom of the dwarves broke the silence first, his voice deep and gruff, his tone laced with sarcasm. "With the appearance of a weapon like the Star of Heaven, even we old guys at the Soul Emperor level won't be able to sleep soundly anymore! Everyone has to be careful from now on, lest a meteor hit you on the head and raze your city to the ground!"
Ye Ge's lips curled slightly, a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.
King Lionthroat of the Orcs stroked his thick mane and slowly glanced at Gom: "Brother Gom, your fiery temper still flares up easily. Aren't you afraid that by so bluntly mocking little Nightsong, he'll 'take care' of your dwarven business in the future?" He deliberately emphasized the word "take care".
Gom's expression changed. The dwarves weren't very good at business, and their economy had relied on the Night Clan of the human race for the past few years. If Night Song wanted to retaliate against him, the dwarves probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
But the words were already out, and under everyone's watchful eyes, he could only blush, let out a heavy "humph," and turn away to sulk.
"Mr. Night Song," the Golden Spirit Priest said expressionlessly, "I want to ask you, what exactly is the Heavenly Dao Star? What kind of extraordinary energy does it utilize?"
Previously, the gene company had actually sent scientists to the area bombed by the Heavenly Star, hoping to collect some residual extraordinary energy on-site in order to analyze the secrets of the Heavenly Star and determine whether it was the legendary forbidden power.
In the past, such a powerful energy would definitely leave behind some special substances at the scene.
For example, places corrupted by demonic energy will leave obvious traces of demonic pollution; places burned by dragon flames will leave behind substances unique to dragon flames; and places bombarded by ordinary gunpowder-based missiles and artillery shells will definitely leave behind the smell of gunpowder...
But the results of the company's investigation surprised everyone.
In the areas bombed by the Heavenly Star, the air became incredibly pure! There was no pollution, no poisonous gas, and not even gunpowder smoke. The way the Heavenly Star exploded was as if it purified everything within its coverage area, even the air, yet no trace of any component could be detected.
This is the first time I've ever seen a weapon like this!
Faced with this question, Ye Ge simply shrugged lazily: "I don't know either."
"?"
"Don't know?" The Golden Spirit Priest frowned.
"I wasn't the one who developed this weapon; it was the team of scientists from our Ye Family's Extraordinary Technology Research Institute." Ye Ge deliberately didn't mention Gao Shenxue's name directly.
A glint flashed in the Fire Spirit Priest's eyes, and he immediately pressed on, "In that case, would it be convenient for your research team's chief scientist to show up and have a chat? It's your human race's newly promoted Soul Emperor realm transcendent, Gao Shenxue."
“I don’t think it’s necessary.” Ye Ge spread his hands: “Because, she doesn’t know either.”
"???" The Fire Spirit Priest frowned. "She doesn't know either? What do you mean?"
“She doesn’t know what kind of power this is either.” Ye Ge shrugged. “Actually, this Star of Heavenly Dao was just something that a group of scientists randomly created by tinkering in the lab. It happened by chance, so they don’t know what kind of power it is, and they can’t even copy it.”
"Can't replicate it?" Lion Thunder, the Orc King, asked in confusion. "So, you can't develop a second one yourselves?"
“That’s how it is.” Ye Ge nodded.
