After Gu Changqing cleared the first sealed space, he brought Zhang Hu and the others back.
From this day onward, no creature from the universe dared to descend.
Currently, there were about a billion extraterrestrial creatures on Blue Star. This number was undoubtedly terrifying.
The reason why there were less than two million of them in the first sealed space was because it was filled with danger. Almost all of the beasts inside were above tier-17.
Most of the creatures that came down were on tier-15 or tier-16, the lowest tier for the universe’s many beings.
They all came down to Blue Star because they couldn’t survive in the universe and wanted to be king on the planet instead.
If not for the Demon Alliance, they wouldn’t have been so obedient.
After that day, the Supreme God Platform also stopped paying attention to Blue Star.
With Gu Changqing overseeing the planet, no one could touch its resources.
On the same day, he gathered everyone back. They were currently in the core city’s meeting hall, located in the main office.
The people present were Zhang Hu, Taotie, Zhao Feng, Vermilion Bird, Wu Rui, Wang Rong, Chimei Wangliang, Tuan Tuan, and the Monkey King.
The Monkey King was wearing newly-fitted Dark Demon King armor. Its body size had already become human-like, its original armor being no different from this new one’s.
Gu Changqing sat at the end of the table while the others sat on both sides of it.
He tapped the hard surface with his slender fingers and said to everyone, “Let’s talk about your potential indexes and the number of divine runes on your body.”
Today, he was going to raise everyone’s potential by 2,000 stars, and then fuse their divine runes to their limits.
Bai Xing’s 26-layer Radiant Light Sword Divine Rune and Xuan Ming’s 25-layer Netherworld Holy Emperor Divine Rune were all taken away by him.
Apart from that, in the Divine Rune Inheritance Pagoda, there were also many different types of divine runes. Most of them were around tier-15.
Despite that, that level was enough. Gu Changqing wanted to help them level up their divine runes. After returning, he went to the Divine Rune Inheritance Pagoda and took a batch of stronger ones.
Zhang Hu and Vermilion Bird, who were the strongest, had the 22-layer Saintly Emperor Divine Rune. Vermilion Bird’s Celestial Phoenix Divine Rune wasn’t powerful enough. It would have to be upgraded again.
It was the same for the others. If they didn’t upgrade, they wouldn’t be able to survive outside Blue Star in the future.
The mysterious mark on Gu Changqing’s palm’s effect was too ridiculous. Using the Blue Star Empire’s technology and equipment to upgrade the divine runes, it would take them either a few months or more than half a year.
However, in front of this mark, it could be done in minutes.
Zhang Hu was the first to speak, “Boss, my current potential index is 5,000 stars, and I have the Blue Star Empire’s 22-layer Saintly Emperor Divine Rune!” “Hehe! Boss, how many layers do you think I can reach?”
He looked at Gu Changqing eagerly. Recently, he had encountered too many living beings with 25 or 26-layered divine rune armor. He was really unwilling to accept his current situation.
“With a potential index of 5,000, there should be no issue in raising it to 33 layers!”
Gu Changqing gestured, “I’ll directly fuse it and help you upgrade.”
“Alright!”
Zhang Hu got up and squatted in front of the former.
Gu Changqing flipped his hand and took out an Il-layered divine rune, inserting it into Zhang Hut s sea of consciousness. Then, he pressed his finger against the latter’s forehead and activated the mvsterious mark’s Dower. He fused the Il-layered divine rune with Zhang Hu’s 22-layer Saintly Emperor Divine Rune.
Boom!
A moment later, Zhang Hu’s body suddenly emitted terrifying pressure. In less than five minutes, the 33-layered Saintly Emperor Divine Rune was created.
“Holy sh*t, you’re awesome, Boss. You’re really too godly, no— You’re omnipotent!”
Zhang Hu could feel the 33-layer Saintly Emperor Divine Rune’s power in his body, his face filled with disbelief.
“Okay, get down. Vermillion Bird, it’s your turn.”
“Okay!”
Vermilion Bird’s exquisite face was filled with excitement as she squatted down in front of Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing did the same thing and helped her to fuse the Celestial Phoenix Divine Rune into 33 layers inside her body.
“Taotie, Chimei Wangliang, come over here. I’ll increase your potential indexes.”
“Good!”
The two nodded expectantly and went to the man’s left and right respectively.
Both of their potential indexes were 4,000 stars. Gu Changqing raised them to 5,300 stars.
Then, he took out the Crimson Sky Emperor Divine Rune from Taotie’s body and used it to fuse with the Hao Tian Emperor Divine Rune which had been upgraded to 34 layers.
Then, he helped Chimei Wangliang fuse her Heavenly Shadow Emperor Divine Rune into 33 layers.
Afterward, he also lent a hand to Wu Rui, Zhao Feng, Wang Rong, and Tuan
Tuan and raised their potential indexes to 5,300 stars. Then, he raised their Divine River, Spiritual Wind, Azure Phoenix, and Luan Phoenix Divine Runes to 33 layers.
Whoosh!
Helping them upgrade their divine runes, Gu Changqing’s entire body seemed to have emptied of energy.
His gaze landed on the Monkey King.
“Boss, if you’re tired, I can just do it later.”
The Monkey King could tell that the Boss had reached his limit, so he said that with concern.
“It’s fine. Come, let me see your Dark Demon King Divine Rune.”
Gu Changqing raised his hand, motioning for it to come over. The Monkey King nodded and squatted down in front of him.
He used the mysterious mark to check and was surprised to find that the Monkey King’s bloodline had completely revived the Dark Demon King Divine Rune, and its potential index was unlimited.
“Monkey King, your potential index is great. Although your divine rune is only at the first level, when I help you improve, even tier-35 might not be your match.”
“Boss, I actually think so too.”
The Monkey King scratched his head. He wasn’t acting pretentious at all. Just by cultivating like this, he felt that he could sweep the whole universe.
The higher his potential index was, the more power he could unleash from the Dark Demon King Divine Rune.
It didn’t need high numbers at all.
Gu Changqing nodded slightly. ‘Your future is promising.”
After they finished talking, Gu Changqing helped the Monkey King raise its potential to 5,500 stars.
The latter felt its new strength and bowed in gratitude, “Thank you, Boss!” After upgrading it, Gu Changqing already felt a little dizzy. He looked at everyone and said indifferently,
“I need to rest for a few days. With my authority, I’ll send out five million Emperor Star Guards to wipe out all the other creatures from the universe on Blue Star.”
“Next, if there are other sealed spaces that have been unlocked, we can just send the Emperor Star Guards in to sweep the resources inside.”
“Let’s first reorganize the situation on Blue Star and restore it to before the world changed. Then, we can set our sights on the universe’s deep space.”
There were five million Emperor Star Guards, all clad in 9-layer divine rune armor. They were all above tier-30 and could identify between races.
Zhang Hu stood up and nodded his head. “Alright, Boss. Go and take a break first. Leave the rest to me.”
“Reorganize the resources. From today onward, the Demon Alliance will be renamed the Supreme Alliance. All members of the Supreme Alliance whose potential can’t reach 3,000 stars in half a year will be expelled.”
Gu Changqing got up and said, “After all, the Supreme Alliance doesn’t raise trash!”
After saying that, he turned around and left the meeting hall.
“Alright, next, let’s talk about how we can reorganize Blue Star.”
After Gu Changqing left, with Zhang Hu as the leader, they started the meeting.
Taotie said, “The current Blue Star is too chaotic. There is no need for any countries. From now on, all the humans on Blue Star belong to the empire.
This must be implemented as soon as possible.”
Wu Rui also nodded and said, “Taotie is right. Our future goal is the universe. Therefore, we can’t slack off with the empire’s rising. It is time to welcome unification. Soon, the human race should also return to the universe.”
Zhao Feng said, “Let’s leave these matters to Xuanyuan Wangrui and the others! We are good at fighting and killing, but managing things like these isn’t really our forte.”
“In the future, let them manage the empire’s finances, population, and other aspects. We only need to deter the foreign enemies and conquer the universe.”
Zhang Hu nodded, agreeing with Zhao Feng’s suggestion, “It would indeed be appropriate to let them manage this. Let’s move to the central conference hall and invite them to discuss together!”
“Alright, let’s go!”
The group got up and left the office, heading to the central conference hall.
Gu Changqing returned to the bedroom and changed into a set of pajamas.
Suddenly, he remembered the old lunatic from Division 2 and asked Xiao Shu,
“Xiao Shu, do you know that old lunatic from Division 2?”
“Yes, Master!” Xiao Shu replied. “He is the Blue Star Empire’s third ruler. Due to a problem he got from absorbing a 40-layer divine rune, he would sometimes be clear-headed and sometimes crazy. After the war between the ten thousand races, his mind became completely abnormal. As for why he wasn’t affected by the void curse, I can’t seem to find the reason.”
“I see! ”
Gu Changqing was relieved. His condition was really bad now, so he didn’t want to pay attention to anything else. He lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
The energy he had consumed to fuse divine runes was too much.
In the central conference hall, Zhang Hu invited Xuanyuan Wangrui, Huang Mengguo, and Long Zhanguo to prepare and appoint the planet’s new global leaders.
Not long after the meeting ended, the five million Emperor Star Guards left the central city and began to clean up the extraterrestrial creatures on Blue Star.
In just a week, the creatures who were unable to leave Blue Star were exterminated by the Emperor Star Guards in despair and fear.
At the same time, five days ago, the leaders of various countries gathered in the core city’s central conference hall.
After this meeting ended, they announced the removal of countries. From now on, all humans on Blue Star would belong to the empire.
Three days later, at ten o’clock in the morning, the empire would hold a press conference. The ruler of the empire, Gu Changqing, would appear in person to announce the arrival of the empire’s new era, the Divine Runemaster era.
Blue Star’s 3.2 billion people were all excited.
Today was the day of the press conference to announce the Blue Star Empire’s establishment.
The core city’s main building, in the 12th floor’s vast media hall.
There were more than a hundred reporters in the hall, and many cameras in the hall were facing the stage from 360 degrees.
At the scene, there were nine tier-50 Emperor Star Guards standing guard.
At 9:48 in the morning, almost everyone on Blue Star was paying attention to the empire’s platform either on their phones, computers, or televisions.
The new era of the Divine Runemasters was about to arrive, making everyone feel indescribable excitement in their hearts.
Who hadn’t fantasized about having the power to fly in the sky?
“I’ll be able to see Boss Gu soon. I’m so excited!”
“He will be the empire’s ruler in the future. Can we still call him Boss Gu?”
“If we can’t call him Bpss Gu, what should we call him when we ask questions later?”
“Yes, this is a problem. Let’s all think about it.”
The reporters present were very excited, but they were troubled about how to address Gu Changqing later.
They couldn’t just call him Boss Gu, or Big Brother Gu, right?
The group of people racked their brains.
“Forget it, we can’t think of anything now. We’ll ask Boss Gu later how we should address him!”
These reporters really couldn’t think of any suitable way to address the man. They felt that it would be better to ask directly later.
