Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1114 432: Rest in Peace

Ren Zhong can deceive the Frozen Elders with the Apostle Code, but the Tracer only acknowledges these nine legitimate administrators.

His reckless killing would trigger the Tracer's highest alert, mark him as an invader, and lead to a Mechanical Empire-level full civilization notification, along with prompting the Tracer's self-destruction.

Even if he narrowly escapes the ship's self-destruction, he still has to face the encirclement by Frozen Soldiers and a large number of completely controlled Ninth Rank Ruined Beasts.

Previously, upon arriving at the Tracer, Ren Zhong had already observed the recently returned Ice Sealing Army from Upper Origin Capital, accompanied by nine individuals—their strength was indeed frightening and intimidating.

Inside the troop storage of the Tracer, three thousand Star Sky Level Professionals lay quietly in the Drip Level Frozen Storage.

Selecting any one of them at random reveals strength at least comparable to the Liquid Metal faceless being.

Next to the troop storage lies an even larger storage containing nearly six thousand Ninth Rank Ruined Beasts.

At the time, Ying Feng proudly introduced, "Lord Apostle, according to Empire law, we have implanted brain crystals that can completely control the minds of these Star Sky Warriors born from Source Star. They are absolutely loyal to us. The specially designed Drip Level Frozen Storage can thaw them in thirty seconds, entering a combat-ready state. The defense capabilities of these Frozen Storage units are also incredibly robust. Thus, even if we encounter an enemy attack on the return journey, we wouldn't be entirely without the power to resist. Moreover, nearly five hundred of these six thousand Starship larvae have acquired preliminary Star War Ability, also embedded with micro-mechanical implants for absolute control. Although we only possess a C-level Tracer, the resources produced have reached B-level, nearly matching A-level."

At that moment, Ren Zhong, while inwardly marveling at their effective work, also expressed his appreciation to the team.

In summary, this matter has again put him in a difficult position—it's impossible to fight them, truly impossible.

In the management system of the Mechanical Empire, Apostles and administrators are at the same level.

Apostles only have military command authority during external warfare, otherwise only monitoring authority.

But now, Source Star is not involved in external warfare; everything is merely internal evolution.

According to Empire law, no matter how intense the internal evolution on Source Star becomes, it doesn't count as war, just the mutual crushing of ant tools.

Therefore, as an Imperial Apostle, Ren Zhong cannot possibly request command of the Ice Sealing Army from the Frozen Elders.

He mustn't appear ignorant of Empire laws.

Especially since the current "Web" hasn't been restored, Ren Zhong hasn't received true identity validation, only managed to bluff people with lies.

Even if he manages to deceive his way to power, that power itself must be based on the Frozen Elders.

He cannot command the Ice Sealing Army to help him betray the Frozen Elders.

He cannot do it.

...

Being seen off at the dock, Ren Zhong prepares to bid farewell to everyone.

Ren Zhong, smilingly, asked, "Everyone, developing human brain resources is critically important, I might have to return to Source Star for on-site command. What are your plans next?"

Ma Zhongfei and the others exchanged glances, hesitant to speak.

Then Fetina Locke stepped forward.

She asked, "Lord Apostle, do you require our full assistance throughout?"

Ren Zhong thought for a moment, "As long as you can communicate properly with the Elder Council of the Business Association and your own descendants, it seems unnecessary. But I worry about you staying idle in the Tracer and creating problems from boredom. Perhaps you might want to join me on Source Star, take a trip as if on vacation?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked troubled.

Seeing this, Ren Zhong laughed heartily, "I'm teasing you. As far as I know, your families don't have longevity like mine. Your days are quite precious. Otherwise, you would just fall into frozen sleep?"

Ren Zhong's words conveyed two meanings.

Firstly, he appropriately revealed his family heritage, sounding a bit intimidating—that his family possesses methods to extend life.

This was reasonable because over the past five years, Ren Zhong's aging rate was indeed significantly slower than ordinary Source Star people, and also slower than the Frozen Elders.

This was very incongruent.

But after his noble pedigree mysteriously exploded, everything became logical.

Additionally, he genuinely seemed to have the intention to have them accompany him on vacation.

The Frozen Elders appeared slightly panicked, and once he softened his stance, they quickly expressed their intention to go into frozen sleep.

As the Frozen Elders were about to activate the Frozen Storage, Ren Zhong's Waterdrop Shuttle had already traveled nearly half the journey.

He did not blame this group of colleagues for their laziness, just laughed and said, "See you in fifteen years; I hope by then I won't be older than you."

After which, this group of Ren Zhong's arch-enemies, rested in peace.
