Chapter 1135: Man on the throne
Not just the Dragon Galaxy.
In almost every place in this universe, on every planet, every starport, every satellite, every space station, and even on every starship.
At this moment, the vast majority of people were watching this man.
Angels... mechanical lifeforms... demons... orcs... humans...
Countless living beings were waiting for this moment, watching the man standing before the throne.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Zhao Chen closed his eyes, and a series of past memories played back in his mind like a revolving lantern.
final!
The image of that pitch-black legion fleet appeared before Zhao Chen's eyes.
Behind this massive, pitch-black fleet, a colossal shadow, like that of a god, loomed overhead.
Those terrifying giant hands seemed capable of easily crushing the tiny Zhao Chen.
At that moment, Zhao Chen opened his eyes.
His eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
He turned around and glanced at the warships of the Wyvern Star Legion in front of him.
He glanced at the planets in the distant Xiaolong star system.
guard!
There are many reasons for sitting on the throne.
Power! Status! Beautiful women!...
Zhao Chen had only one purpose in sitting on this throne.
That is to protect.
Protect everything!
Zhao Chen slowly sat down, finally under the watchful eyes of the entire universe.
He became the man on the throne.
Almost simultaneously, countless special effects fireworks burst forth in the Xiaolong Galaxy.
At the same time, a voice rang out in all the places where this scene was viewed.
"I am Zhao Chen."
It is hereby announced that the Dragon Star Empire will be established from this moment forward.
I am the current emperor of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
From this day forward, all planets in the known universe belong to the Dragon Empire.
All resources belong to the Dragon Empire.
All races are unconditionally loyal to the Dragon Empire.
Any force that violates the above rules will be considered to have declared war on the Dragon Empire.
The Dragon Empire will send its interstellar legions to launch an expedition against them.
"Long live the Emperor!"
On all the starships of the Dragon Legion, all the Dragon officers and soldiers placed their hands on their chests and shouted loudly.
All the staff members of the Xiaolong Group's subsidiaries bowed and shouted loudly, "Long live the Emperor!"
This sound resounds in every space and every place at this moment.
Long live the Emperor!
Long live the Emperor!
Long live the Emperor!
Immediately afterwards, a video window appeared in the lower right corner of the Emperor Video window.
The person inside is Qin Xiaolei, the Empress of the Starry Empire.
Empress Qin Xiaolei bowed slightly and slowly said, "I, the Empress of the Starry Empire, hereby declare that the Starry Empire shall henceforth be renamed the Starry Kingdom and shall belong to the Dragon Owl Interstellar Empire."
Long live the Emperor!
Long live the Dragon Empire!
Then another video window appeared, showing Empress Saint Cana of the Holy Radiant Empire.
Empress Saint Cana spoke slowly with the highest honors: "I am Empress Saint Cana of the Holy Radiant Empire."
I hereby declare that, effective immediately, the Holy Radiant Empire shall be renamed the Holy Radiant Kingdom.
The Holy Kingdom of Glory pledges eternal allegiance to the Dragon Empire.
Long live the Emperor!
Long live the Dragon Empire!
Then another figure appeared in the scene, but unlike the previous one, this person was wearing a JF-17 military uniform.
"I am Charlotte, the supreme leader of the Warhammer Star Federation Kingdom."
I hereby declare that, effective immediately, the Warhammer Star Federation Kingdoms pledge allegiance to the Dragon Empire and the Dragon Emperor!
Long live the Emperor!
Long live the Dragon Empire!
Everyone knows the identities of these three people: the Three Empires.
The first three interstellar empires were under the control of the Xiaolong Galaxy Interstellar Group, but before that, the Xiaolong Galaxy Interstellar Group's control over them was only in the shadows.
This time, it's completely out in the open.
The next scene shows hundreds of demons standing.
These demons are all lords within the current demon race's territory.
It was all arranged by JF-17.
"We, representing the Demon Race, pledge our allegiance to the great Emperor of the Wraiths."
We will become the Emperor's sword, obeying the Emperor's will and eliminating any enemy who dares to defy the Emperor.
Long live the Dragon Star Empire!
"Long live the Emperor!" Hundreds of demon lords knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.
Immediately afterwards, two angel kings appeared on the screen.
The King of Holy Angels and the King of War Angels.
The two angel kings showed no trace of their former pride. They placed their hands on their chests, folded their wings behind their backs, and bowed slightly, saying, "I am the Holy Angel King (War Angel King)."
On behalf of the Angel race, they declared their allegiance to the Dragon Star Empire and the Dragon Emperor.
Long live the Emperor!
At this moment, several interstellar giants of the known universe submitted to the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire.
This established the sphere of influence and status controlled by the Dragon Star Empire.
But this is far from over.
In one scene, three figures appear.
Many high-ranking members of various factions have already seen two of these figures.
The high-ranking members of the Mech Clan, Akin and Ayin.
But today, these two high-ranking members of the machine race simply stood on either side.
A tall female officer in military uniform is positioned in the middle.
The tall female officer bowed and said, "The Machine Race is willing to pledge allegiance to Emperor Xiaolong."
From this day forward, all interstellar territories within the Machine Race belong to the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.
Long live the Emperor!
"Long live the Emperor!" Ah Jin and Ah Yin behind him shouted in unison.
At this moment, the entire universe was in an uproar.
If we say that the three empires' declaration of allegiance was reasonable, then...
The loyalty shown by the angels and demons was astonishing.
However, the loyalty of the machine race is revolutionary for everyone.
Many people looked like they were dreaming.
Zhao Chen sat on the throne and slowly said, "I accept your allegiance."
At this moment, the entire known universe was completely subjugated at his feet.
No interstellar race or interstellar power dared to disagree with joining the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire.
After all, even the giants have declared their allegiance. What right do those interstellar kingdoms, which may only have a few star systems left, have to disagree?
On this very day, the newly established diplomatic department of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire received pledges of allegiance from hundreds of small interstellar kingdoms.
They were terrified that if they were even a step too late, the Xiaolong-class interstellar warships would appear at their doorstep.
The following week.
The Dragon Emperor began its patrol of the entire Dragon Star Empire, appearing successively in the important capitals and star systems of the three empires, the Angel race, and the Demon race.
Thus began the year 3037 of the Galactic Calendar, marking the start of this event that shocked the entire universe.
------
Zhao Chen threw himself onto the sofa on the bridge.
"I'm so tired." Zhao Chen rubbed his head.
Lilith thoughtfully handed her a cup of hot tea.
“You have three more appointments to make,” Lilith said.
This time, Zhao Chen didn't complain at all; he just let out a long sigh.
Then he sat up straight and drank the cup of hot tea in one gulp.
He looked at the schedule; all of them were places he had to attend.
Lilith has very considerately cut all the schedules that could be cut.
"When can we return to the Xiaolong system?" Zhao Chen asked.
“One day later,” Lilith replied.
"How's the industrial statistical calculation for the Xiaolong Galaxy going?" Zhao Chen asked again.
"The statistics are almost complete. Next, we'll formulate a construction plan for the coming year," Lilith said.
Zhao Chen nodded and then said, "Give me five days."
I will work with Anne and the other two chief engineers to finalize the construction plan for the coming year.
This is very important.
“Okay.” Lilith immediately accepted the arrangements.
Perhaps because of his different status, Zhao Chen is now more willing to take on more responsibilities and tasks.
Or perhaps it was because Zhao Chen sensed the possibility that some kind of threat was about to arrive.
He needs to arrange more things as soon as possible.
"How's the internal coordination and calculation for our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire going?" Zhao Chen asked about another important matter.
All known factions in the universe have now submitted to the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire.
The Dragon Star Empire has the right to interfere in their internal affairs.
Among these, the most important are industrial capacity and resource output.
To find out the truth, Zhao Chen immediately arranged a major investigation.
In this way, the construction plan for the coming year can proceed smoothly.
"The investigation is almost over; it's about 70% complete now." Lilith's eyes lit up with joy as she mentioned this.
Because in this way, the Dragon Star Empire would have a vast amount of resources to mobilize.
Although the current system of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is somewhat similar to that of a feudal system.
Zhao Chen raised his hand and opened the entire interstellar map of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
A massive dotted line encircles the entire known universe; this is the territory and boundaries of the entire Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
However, there are still different colors used to divide the interior.
Currently, it is mainly divided into:
Three kingdoms, two races, a demonic community, the Fifteenth Sector of the Wraith Dragon, and several scattered interstellar territories.
These interstellar powers are still operating under their original political systems, except that diplomatic and military powers have been handed over to the Dragon Empire.
At the same time, the Dragon Star Empire can draw upon resources from various interstellar factions.
Of course, this is not free.
The Dragon Star Empire can operate in various ways to facilitate proper turnover.
Of course, if a full-scale war breaks out, that's a different story.
You can't just say, "You, Xiaolong, are now the ruler of an interstellar empire, and then just sweep away someone else's entire fortune without any conditions or reason."
Zhao Chen understood the principle of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs very well.
"Do the people below have any objections to the imperial decrees we have recently issued?" Zhao Chen asked with concern.
“Most people have no objections,” Lilith said.
"Regarding the various factions, no one has any objection to each handing over 30% of their monthly output?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
“No.” Lilith shook her head.
Zhao Chen was relieved.
Among those imperial decrees, the most domineering one was that all interstellar forces that submitted to the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire had to pay 30% of the value of their territory each month.
This is essentially a protection fee.
Fortunately, no one objected.
After all, it is common knowledge that the Machine Race has now sided with the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.
"Have the machine race really started to withdraw?" Zhao Chen suddenly thought of something.
"Yes.
From the day the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire was established, some industrial facilities within the Machine Race's territory had already begun to be evacuated.
"Our people have also begun to take over important resource-producing areas." As Lilith spoke, she raised her hand and displayed some video footage.
Zhao Chen looked at a resource galaxy in the video screen.
There used to be a lot of mechanical industrial facilities here, but now many of them are being evacuated.
They began to move away from their original positions, and their bodies began to change.
For example, a mining site on a planet might start using its own engine power to lift itself off the planet's surface and slowly enter space.
Then it slowly floated toward the distant stargate.
These are all the possessions of the mechanical race.
The Machine Race will take all the important industrial facilities with them, through the Gaia Gate, and carry them away!
In addition, the machine race also took away a lot of resources.
According to Zhao Chen's understanding of the little girl from the Mechanical Race, the Mechanical Race took away resources.
It's enough for the mechanical race to survive in that space for at least ten years!
It would be more than enough to sustain a battle for ten years.
This actually includes the accumulation of the mechanical race over tens of thousands of years in this world.
Watching the mechanical creatures evacuate, Zhao Chen felt a pang of emotion.
It's not that he's reluctant to part with it.
Instead, he seemed to be watching squads of soldiers rushing one after another towards the distant battlefield.
Even if they are just mechanical life forms.
They abandoned their former homes and headed headlong into a strange, alien battlefield.
This scene made Zhao Chen feel very uncomfortable.
"The Machine Race has sent us all the resource data within their territory."
This will benefit us in the future, allowing us to take over and utilize the resources within the territory of the Mech Race.
According to our current plan.
We will spend three months mass-producing interstellar mining ships, interstellar transport ships, and interstellar factories.
To restore resource production capacity within the Mech race's territory, even surpassing the previous Mech race era.
"At that time, it will be a very large number," Lilith said excitedly.
The Machine Race truly left the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire a vast treasure trove!
Zhao Chen didn't speak, but just watched everything silently.
"Anything else planned?" Zhao Chen asked.
“There are no scheduled activities within the next half hour,” Lilith replied.
"Alright, I'll take a rest." Zhao Chen silently walked out of the bridge.
...
"When are we leaving?" Zhao Chen stood in front of the huge porthole, looking at the starry sky outside.
Beside him was an innocent and carefree little girl.
Don't worry.
With such a large estate, I can't move it all in a short time.
It will take at least three months.
This is the time I'm giving you.
In fact, there are still quite a few people who may not be convinced of your rule.
However, they showed obedience out of consideration for the strength of our machine race.
Therefore, in these three months, your Xiaolong Interstellar Empire needs to prove that you have the ability to rule this universe.
These three months are the transition period I'm giving you.
Keep up the good work.
"Your Majesty." The little girl floated up, adopting the posture of an elder patting a junior on the shoulder.
"Will you... come back?" Zhao Chen asked.
"ten years.
We'll fight there for ten years, while looking for opportunities.
I believe that ten years from now.
You will come to pick us up.
Right?
"Your Majesty." The little girl looked at Zhao Chen with her big, watery eyes.
Zhao Chen clenched his fists and opened his mouth.
The little girl smiled, a radiant smile.
