Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 601 - 587 Two Chancellors (Part Eight)

With peach blossom eyes and delicate facial features that, in the old days, would have labeled him Linyin Shizhi, a handsome young idol. He rested one leg on the chair, showing no regard for sitting propriety. A plate of fried chicken lay on the table, Linyin Shizhi's hands greasy and twisted. He spat out a chicken bone and then sucked on his fragrant fingers, completely enraptured.

Just then, the office door burst open, and in walked a fretful middle-aged man. Seeing Linyin Shizhi's relaxed demeanor, the middle-aged man grew even more agitated. "Second Young Master, what time do you think it is now? The 'Star Devouring Demon' could arrive at Taoran Star any moment. By then, we wouldn't even be able to escape. The master has already arranged everything. We're leaving Taoran Star on the Union Express spaceship at 1:25 this afternoon. As long as the spaceship floats in space, away from any planets, it won't have any issues," he said.

Linyin Shizhi glanced at the family steward gesturing slightly. A small cleaning robot hovered from the table over to his hand and sprayed some cleaning solution, which quickly dissolved the grease and removed any stains, leaving his hands remarkably dry.

"The Star Devouring Demon? That's just the former Chancellor of the Star Alliance. Our Chancellor Xiao fears Chancellor Bai, hence he bestowed such a terrifying title on him to stir up a united front within the Star Alliance against Bai Zhongqi. Hey, this is just us getting caught in the crossfire of their fight for the throne of the Star Alliance, which has nothing to do with us," he scoffed.

The steward, Liang Yunyi, slapped his thigh, expressing helplessness, "But when immortals battle, us mere mortals suffer the consequences. Earth and the Moon are gone, Mars, Emerald Sea Star, Lieque Star are all gone. About twenty-some administrative planets of the Star Alliance, amounting to a population of two to three hundred billion, were all devoured within a week by your aforementioned former Chancellor. In this Galaxy, not even the eight great natural disasters have been as vicious as this. Besides, the Star Alliance was founded by Chancellor Bai himself, and to ravage it like this without a second thought, the whole Star Alliance is in panic now."

Linyin Shizhi kicked the chair away and stood up, smirking, "If it were me, I'd do the same! These aren't my possessions, so what if they get smashed to bits. However, Chancellor Bai was known for his benevolence in the past. Even if his nature has drastically changed, I doubt he would be overly brutal. Those planets he has swallowed are probably still intact somewhere, with the people likely still alive."

Liang Yunyi shook his head, "If that's really the case, why not get a few people from Earth to speak out and make a public show of it? If Chancellor Xiao did usurp power, he should let those captured Star Alliance citizens come forward to support him—it would serve as a campaign of public opinion."

Linyin Shizhi laughed even more heartily, clapping Liang Yunyi on the shoulder, "Now, Steward Yunyi, what good do you think that would do? All the information in the entire Star Alliance is controlled by the Supreme Command. Even if Chancellor Bai wanted to make an announcement, could anyone see it? And even if they could, who could oppose Chancellor Xiao on Star Alliance soil with the Supreme Command on his side? That would be simply asking for death."

Liang Yunyi realized that this was indeed the truth. The will of the Chancellor had always been the sole embodiment of the Star Alliance's will, and as much as its citizens enjoyed personal freedoms, they had no influence over the course of their civilization.

"Alright, Second Young Master, it's useless to keep discussing this. We should head to the spaceport now. There are countless people on Taoran Star trying to leave, and spaceship tickets are extremely hard to come by. If we delay, we might truly be too late," he said.

Linyin Shizhi picked up his military cap from the table and placed it on his head, "If we're leaving, you just take our old master with you. Being in the military, leaving my post without orders could lead to punishment."

Liang Yuntian looked worried and said, "Second Young Master, your military role was just a cushy post arranged by the old master to add some luster to your resume. With two generations of our Liang Family working in Administrative Star politics, those who retire from the military have better advancement opportunities when they enter government. Why do you take it so seriously?"

Linyin Shizhi responded indifferently, "How the family strategizes is their business, just as how the Chancellors strategize is their business. But no matter who or where someone is, they must do what they are supposed to do. What I should be doing is defending Taoran Star."

Liang Yuntian knew his young master was stubborn but didn't realize he was this stubborn.

"Second Young Master, your 191st Legion has less than a thousand warships, and most of them are small vessels. There are only about fifty stationed at Taoran Star, without even a single main battle ship. If Chancellor Bai's huge forces arrive, it's not just about resisting; we wouldn't even suffice to fill a gap between teeth. Please, don't cause more trouble!"

As the two were arguing, suddenly, the alarm of the security headquarters where Liang Shizhi was located blared loudly.

Liang Shizhi frowned and slammed the table, from which a holographic screen popped up. In the outer space around Taoran Star, a wormhole suddenly formed, and a massive warship, ten thousand meters long, emerged first. It fired two beams of white light fiercely, piercing through the space military port in the orbit of Taoran Star in one strike.

Liang Yuntian saw this scene and turned pale.

"Why have they arrived already!"

Liang Shizhi, on the other hand, laughed and said, "Still dreaming about matchup with the fleet of this former Chancellor? Now it seems we don't even have the chance to act. It's fine; let's see where we end up after being devoured."

Soon, the system on Liang Shizhi's desk suddenly shut down, then restarted, displaying a line of text: Lost contact with the Supreme Command, entering default working mode.

Liang Shizhi chuckled and, patting the back of a family manager, said, "See, I told you it would be fine. Even the Supreme Command can't be contacted now; we must have been thrown into some subspace. Speaking of which, this old Chancellor is really something, hopping through wormholes that disregard spatial distances and managing a subspace that could fit so many planets. With such abilities, it's a wonder how Xiao Yu ever managed to usurp his position."

Naturally, no one answered him.

At that moment, Bai Zhongqi stood on a lush grassy plain of Taoran Star, turning to the person beside him with a smile, "This is the eighteenth one. Just taking them one by one, I wonder how long Xiao Yu can hold out."

Each Administrative Star is not only a focal point for population but also for manufacturing capabilities. Places like Earth, Taoran Star, and Emerald Sea Star have huge orbital factory complexes and shipyards. By taking these facilities away, Bai Zhongqi was effectively weakening the overall strength of the Star Alliance.

As Bai Zhongqi felt a touch of pride, he received a new message from Linyin.

"Chancellor, Xiao Yu has just participated in the presentation meeting of the Galactic Council's committee, announcing to the council the so-called 'atrocities' you committed by devouring over a dozen planets and destroying more than thirty Star Alliance Administrative Stars. He has proposed to the High Council to classify you as a natural disaster and to establish a specialized plan against you!"
