Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 634: Chapter 364: Golden Light Enters the Dream_2

By then, filled with towering hatred and having already memorized the unclean members of his Storm God Kingdom, they would surely seek revenge. Moreover, having prepared for it, their next visit would definitely not be a lone arrival,

What could Gu Hang use to block them?

There was no way to block it.

To strike while the enemy is sick and take their life was surely to do so at the moment when Ge Wajia was trapped in the crevice between the reality curtain and the Storm God Kingdom, when his body and soul were buried by the artillery fire, having lost all power and only his subspace essence remained, to thoroughly crush him into dust—that was the most reliable choice.

Unfortunately, he had a father backing him up.

There was nothing to be done then.

It wasn’t that Gu Hang hadn’t considered this possibility beforehand.

It was just that on the one hand, he was clinging to a stroke of luck, and on the other hand, he had no other choice.

It was nothing more than releasing him and then waiting for Ge Wajia to recover and annihilate his Storm God Kingdom;

Or, be noticed by the fatherly figure now and wait for the fatherly figure to come knocking and annihilate the Storm God Kingdom.

Regardless, as soon as such a situation was triggered, the Storm God Kingdom was doomed to be undefendable.

With a cold face, Gu Hang had already spun many thoughts in his mind.

One after another, contingency plans formed in his head.

There were thoughts of resistance and thoughts of cutting losses and seeking survival when the momentum was against him.

If the Storm God Kingdom really couldn’t be saved, then it would be let go.

The subspace essence of the Storm God Kingdom was controlled by Gu Hang, indeed, but it wasn’t Gu Hang himself. Destroying it here meant losing a very useful method and trump card, which was quite a pity, but it wouldn’t affect his endeavors in the real world.

Could the fatherly figure run to the real world and slaughter him?

It wouldn’t be that easy.

It just meant that he would be one method short in the future, unable to use the Storm God Kingdom.

It was very unfortunate, crippling even, but it wasn’t completely unacceptable.

As Gu Hang thought this, suddenly, there was an unexpected change.

His vision blurred as if he saw a violent flash of gold.

A cold sun seemed to rise in subspace, and bone-chilling winds blew.

Following this, Gu Hang seemed to hear an angry roar that shook the entire subspace.

It appeared to come from the fatherly figure.

But he wasn’t curious, he didn’t hesitate, and he decisively retracted all his senses.

It seemed that something formidable was happening, so it was best to hide far away to avoid getting splashed with blood.

But this so-called big event didn’t last too long.

Soon, when Gu Hang mustered the courage and cautiously extended his senses via the Storm God Kingdom, he discovered that everything was calm outside.

Even, eerily calm.

The malicious gaze?

Gone.

The raging subspace tide?

Subsided.

The fatherly figure?

Uh… The fatherly figure was still there, still occupying an important position in the vast, unobservable subspace, but there was no longer any tendency to look in his direction.

Gu Hang felt as if a layer of fog had formed around his Storm God Kingdom, cutting off many gazes.

What was going on?

Gu Hang had a rough guess in his mind.@@novelbin@@

In subspace, the only one who could be mentioned in the same breath as the four most formidable beings was one other.

To humanity, there are four Evil Gods in subspace; to other races, there are five.

But… what have I done to deserve this?

…

Researching those things within the Storm God Kingdom was meaningless; anyway, he couldn’t understand them, so he didn’t think much about it.

After securing the origin of Ge Wajia at the top of the Central Spire of the Divine Realm, constantly subjected to the purifying thunder and unable to escape, Gu Hang’s consciousness had left subspace.

His spirit had long been on the brink of its limit, but he still persevered and walked out of the observation tower in Mingyan City.

The secretarial team waiting outside, along with many high-ranking officials, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when they finally saw the governor emerge.

Fear!

After winning a battle, it was the happiest of times, yet the person who led everyone to victory had been silent here for more than two days. How could this not cause uneasiness in everyone’s hearts?

Gu Hang, enduring the feeling of weakness, calmly greeted the people, and then appeared again in the governor’s residence of Mingyan City, meeting with many officials from the Nest Capital government and the Planetary Government. Then, inside the governor’s residence, he communicated with Major General Du Shiliang of the Tianma Fleet, General Hans of the Star Realm Army, and Nell Lavis, a special envoy from the Star Domain Government, separately.

This communication didn’t cover anything important; it was a simple briefing on his current situation and an exchange of news, which marked its end.

The purpose of the call was not anything else; Gu Hang needed to make his presence felt, to tell his many partners that he had safely returned.

And this message was indeed more uplifting than anything else.

…

The news of victory had thrilled many people.

Including Nell Lavis.

This Star Domain Government special envoy and Head of Taxation, who had undergone multiple life extension surgeries and was over three hundred years old, looked at the surface of Korolya Planet with a smile.

Her chest rose and fell with excitement.

Ever since she took on the role of special envoy and came to Korolya, she had been under great pressure.

At present, the situation facing the Star Domain Government was somewhat shaky. The most significant disaster within the Star Domain—the Iron-teeth Greenskins—had been going mad for four years now. Assault after assault originated from the four Star Sectors they had already conquered, constantly expanding outward. The Golden Pass Star Sector, which had been a bulwark against the Greenskins, was now all in disarray.

Many fortress worlds were caught in the crossfire. Countless soldiers from hundreds of worlds within the Star Domain fought against the Greenskins. Within the Dragonhawk Legion, eleven Army Groups with many subordinate legions fought fiercely with Greenskins on those key battlefronts.

Several naval fleets were playing cat and mouse with the raiding fleets of the Greenskins, engaging in naval battles in the Golden Pass Star Sector, Huanghe Star Sector, and Bloodberry Star Sector.

Everyone knew that it’s best to strike a decisive blow against the Greenskins rather than engage in a war of attrition.

But how could the Dragonhawk Star Domain not wish for that? It just wasn’t achievable!

The high cost of war was starting to overwhelm the Star Domain Government.

Now was the time when solidarity and contribution of strength were most needed throughout the entire Star Domain.

But just at this moment, trouble flared up in the backyard.

Korolya III, this Nest Capital World, was a vital source of manpower. With an output of 700-800 million people every two years, it provided a large number of soldiers, slaves, and colonial residents.

The entire Tianma Star Sector might only have nine worlds, which is considered few among the major Star Sectors generally having 15-16 worlds, but it is the core Star Sector of the Eastern Star Domain. The annual predetermined tax quota reached one hundred billion Tax Currency; the total population of over six hundred billion people in the six Star Sectors bordering Tianma, whether in terms of population or tax revenue, were not as much as Tianma’s.

This place was pivotal.

As for Lois personally, she was already tired of her position as Head of Taxation.

And the next step she wanted to take was to become the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Star Domain, which was a position second only to the Star Domain Head.

Her qualifications were more than enough; her achievements were likewise sufficient.

What she lacked was merely an opportunity.

Temporarily handing over the work of Head of Taxation to her deputy and traveling across the Star Domain to collect taxes, Lois taking on the responsibility of the Star Domain special envoy in charge of the plague disaster in the Tianma Star Sector was that opportunity.

If she managed well, she would rise with the wind, and the position of Minister of Internal Affairs would soon be within reach. The current incumbent had already caused dissatisfaction, she had also received hints from the Star Domain Head and had connections in the Space Domain Government.

But if she did not manage well, Head of Taxation might be the highest point of her political career.

At a loss, choosing to push Gu Hang forward indeed seemed like a desperate move.

But now it seemed…

“My judgment is really good,” she couldn’t help but smile proudly.

Moreover, she had a hunch that Gu Hang would bring her even more surprises in the future.

…

Gu Hang, who was on Lois’ mind, was dreaming at the moment.

A tall man with long hair wearing a simple robe and a laurel wreath smiled at him.

The gold that filled his sight was not glaring, but rather very gentle.
