Chapter 542: Wang Chun''s New Dream
"Qing Ye, my strength has already recovered, and I''m not far from the legendary Small Galaxy level. Once I become the Controller of Yan Yun Star, I will find a way to help you become a Small Galaxy powerhouse so that we can govern this planet together," Ghost Emperor''s gaze was filled with affection as he deeply looked at his consort. "Even if you no longer hold the identity of Empress, I can still arrange for you to sit in that position. The title of Empress can be set aside."
Only the Ghost Emperor himself knew that he had come perilously close to death in the past. If it weren''t for this consort''s critical intervention when he faced his mortal enemy, he might have been the one to die.
The only thing that made him uneasy was that, after he woke up, he had sent someone to check the situation and found no trace of the enemy''s body. This had always weighed on his mind, suggesting that the enemy might still be alive.
However, in all these years, there had been no news of that person within the Ghost Clan, and he had gradually forgotten about their existence.
Qing Ye''s face remained expressionless, but she did not reject the Ghost Emperor''s hand reaching for hers. In response to his words, she calmly said, "Your Majesty need not go to such lengths. It is only natural for Qing Ye to assist Your Majesty. Even without Qing Ye, Your Majesty would not fail."
"Hahaha, your words, my dear, fill me with joy," the Ghost Emperor said with great delight.
Yet, he did not notice the fleeting, cryptic smile that crossed Qing Ye''s lips when she turned away from him.
Upon receiving news that the Ghost Emperor was about to appear, Wang Chun could no longer sit idly by. After the meeting concluded, he returned to his residence and contacted Su Chen.
"Commander, the Ghost Emperor is about to make his appearance."
"He''s finally coming out. What do you plan to do?"
"Of course, I''ll find him, defeat him, become the Ghost Emperor, and marry the love of my life."
Su Chen felt goosebumps all over his body. He hastily interrupted Wang Chun''s reverie. "You think defeating the Ghost Emperor will make you the new Ghost Emperor? Which law in the Ghost Clan dictates that? Wang Chun, you might not be aware that not just anyone can assume the role of the Ghost Emperor. Even if you have tremendous power, your current status in the Ghost Clan might not be sufficient. Your identity among the Ghost Clan is relatively low, and there are certain social hierarchies in the Ghost Clan that you may not be aware of."
Wang Chun''s expression stiffened. He realized that becoming the Ghost Emperor was not a straightforward matter. Only those with absolutely formidable strength could aspire to such a position. Unfortunately, his strength was not yet at that level.
Even within the Ghost Clan, there were distinctions, and some lower-ranking Ghost Clan members, despite their formidable strength, were looked down upon by those of noble lineage. Wang Chun''s identity in the Ghost Clan was of a similar lower tier. Becoming the Ghost Emperor was nearly impossible.
If it weren''t for Su Chen, it would indeed be impossible.
"It primarily feeds on the consciousness of sentient beings; Psychicpower is merely a sweet treat to it."
As long as it could help Leng Yuwei awaken quickly, Su Chen didn''t care even if it took a Cosmic Behemoth. The problem was that, with his current strength, he might not be a match for a Spectral Moth, and it would take some time.
"For now, let''s put aside the Spectral Moth. Once Wang Chun completes the third-tier side quest, he should receive all the rewards, right?" Su Chen was calculating his available power.
Without a doubt, Wang Chun, with his Small Galaxy-level First-tier power, had become the most formidable force under his command. Currently, only the Super Soldiers were slightly behind.
If it weren''t for the exorbitant Energy Points required to upgrade to the Small Galaxy level, Su Chen would have upgraded all his Super Soldiers at once.
He checked his current rate of energy growth. He was accumulating over twenty million Energy Points per day, and the number was gradually increasing. It wouldn''t be long before the strength of his subordinates would experience a leap.
While Su Chen was lost in thought, Ju Ling''s voice sounded, "Commander, we''ve received a message from the Restoration Army. They''ve successfully eliminated that medium-sized tribe. What should be their next move?"
Su Chen had originally intended for them to return immediately. However, since Wang Chun had already gone to challenge the Ghost Emperor, he believed that the time for the Ghost Clan''s downfall was not far off. Thus...
"Have Prince Hewlett prepare to reclaim the lost territory."
When this order reached Prince Hewlett, he trembled. He had never expected to engage in a full-scale battle against the Ghost Clan so soon.
"Is Commander serious? The Restoration Army''s strength isn''t sufficient to deal with so many Ghost Clan members," Prince Hewlett was afraid. However, he didn''t want to pass up such a great opportunity.
This was where the role of a trusted subordinate came into play. He whispered, "Your Highness, we can pretend to attack the Ghost Clan and observe the movements of Red Alert''s Base before making a decision."
Prince Hewlett''s eyes lit up. It was a good idea. He had a trusted subordinate for a reason. (To be continued...)
