The news of the annihilation of the Snake race quickly spread throughout the entire human fleet.
The fleets that evacuated in advance couldn't even believe the news. Because it was too strange, too much like a lie to deceive everyone.
Reality was reality after all. No matter how much everyone questioned it, in the face of reality, everyone quickly accepted the fact that they won without a fight.
All humans were extremely excited, and a grand celebration ceremony was held in every ship. The carnival atmosphere lasted for a very, very long time.
Nowadays, humans all grew up in the shadow of the Snake race. Ever since they were sensible, they knew that there was a sharp sword called the Snake race hanging over humans' heads, and they could destroy humans at any time.
The huge shadow of survival made everyone live with extreme caution. Everyone didn't know what would happen tomorrow. Under the stimulation of this mentality, humans made rapid progress in all aspects, from military to technology.
However, the Snake race was a shadow that humans couldn't erase.
Growing up in this kind of oppressive environment, everyone hated the Snake race very much and was particularly afraid of them.
When the Snake race's army attacked, everyone knew that humans didn't have many days left. Even if the fleets that fled first, where could they escape to? Although the universe was huge, there seemed to be no place for humans.
At this moment, the Snake race was annihilated without any warning. Everyone felt that they had escaped from death. The ecstasy and excitement were indescribable.
More importantly, the huge shadow of death that shrouded everyone was finally removed. Everyone felt relaxed, as if they had ascended to the heavens and become immortals.
After the celebration, naturally, they would be rewarded according to their contributions. The first person to save humanity was, of course, Bei Chen!
Although the one who did it was Gao Zhengyang, according to his request, everything was recorded under Bei Chen's name.
In the beginning, Chu Que actually wanted to announce Gao Zhengyang's contributions. Such a great contribution was, of course, worthy of eternal gratitude and commemoration.
However, it was rejected by Gao Zhengyang. After Chu Que and Gao Zhengyang dealt with each other a few times, he understood that Gao Zhengyang really didn't care about these things.
Gao Zhengyang was like an endless universe, bearing everything but not caring about it. Although he had all kinds of emotions, he was no different from ordinary people. However, he had a high vision. Whether it was humans or the Snake race, he didn't care.
Even Bei Chen and Gao Zhengyang didn't seem to care. Every time he mentioned it, he was always so indifferent. Based on Chu Que's experience, the other party wasn't pretending to be aloof. He was indeed such a person.
Chu Que tried to bring it in. With just a thought, he could cross the universe and destroy all the Snake Race. Such a powerhouse really did not have to care about anyone or anything.
After understanding Gao Zhengyang's thoughts, Chu Que rarely bothered Gao Zhengyang.
Although Chu Que really wanted to ask Gao Zhengyang to stay and protect the human race. After understanding Gao Zhengyang, she quickly understood that it was impossible.
Gao Zhengyang might be human, but he was too far away from them. The distant Dao was untouchable and unreachable. As a result, he could only rely on Beichen as a point of contact.
Although defeating the Snake Clan had little to do with Chu Que, as the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, Chu Que's reputation among the humans had reached its peak.
Under Chu Que's forceful promotion, Bei Chen quickly became the greatest hero of the human race. His diamond sculpture was also immediately installed in the Martyr's Palace, becoming the center of the main hall. Moreover, Bei Chen's statue was also the tallest and most magnificent.
Cheng Qingyun and Tong Ying's statues stood on either side of Bei Chen. The pedestal under Bei Chen's feet was engraved with his great achievements.
Beside it was an inscription from Chu Que on behalf of the human race: His achievements will shine for generations to come. Eternal glory to the human race's heroes.
The Heavenly Yang System had already been destroyed. Humanity's most urgent task now was to find a habitable system. The Martyr's Palace was only set up on a civilian flying ship.
Citizens could log into the Martyr's Palace through the virtual star network to pay their respects to the heroes.
Registration was required to enter the Martyr's Palace, and trillions of people filled up the schedule. Almost everyone wanted to enter the Martyr's Palace to express their respect and worship to the human heroes.
For the past few days, Gao Zhengyang had been staying on Chu Que's command ship. He had nowhere to go.
In fact, Bei Chen sacrificing himself to summon Gao Zhengyang wasn't a good thing for Gao Zhengyang.
The laws of the universe were gradually being unsealed, and all the Divine Masters were using substitutes or projections to understand the universe.
If Gao Zhengyang's main body entered, he might be able to temporarily sweep through everything, but he wasn't the strongest. It was just that at this level, no one could beat him.
It was like a game had just started, and Gao Zhengyang had turned on a cheat. However, this would miss out on many details of the game. They wouldn't be able to experience the charm of the game.
The hidden content of the game was also hard to dig out.
When the game reached the final stage, all the Divine Masters would appear, and Gao Zhengyang, who lacked experience, would only be at a disadvantage.
Of course, for the other Divine Master projections, it was too unlucky for them to meet Gao Zhengyang now. Because of their years of hard work, they might be easily destroyed by Gao Zhengyang.
For example, that Dragon God should be a projection of some Divine Master. Therefore, he wanted to admit defeat.
However, Gao Zhengyang didn't give him the chance. His main body entering first put him at a great disadvantage, and he wasn't polite to the other Divine Masters.
More importantly, Gao Zhengyang wasn't invincible. Spirit force was indeed powerful, but it wasn't omnipotent.
Gao Zhengyang could kill the Snake Race with his spirit force because he had the Snake Race as a contact point. With so many layers of connections, he managed to capture all the Snake Race in one fell swoop.
The subtle and mysterious changes in energy were the supreme might of the Spirit God Emperor. All the changes were based on the laws, and it wasn't up to Gao Zhengyang to do whatever he wanted.
Just like now, Gao Zhengyang knew that the other Divine Masters were in the same universe, but he couldn't really use his spirit force to roam the galaxy and find all the Divine Masters.
Of course, if the other Divine Masters encountered Gao Zhengyang and took the initiative to display their powers, they would be dead meat.
Gao Zhengyang had to constantly adapt to his strength in the star force universe, and he had to adjust himself to avoid being rejected by the laws of the universe because he was too strong.
It was like a whale entering a small river, and he would be greatly restricted in all aspects. It was only because Gao Zhengyang was a Body Refinement God Emperor that he had extremely precise control over his strength that he was able to avoid the restrictions of the laws.
Fortunately, Bei Chen had done something serious, and he had learned the Conversion Law. This law was too important, and Gao Zhengyang judged that it was a small part of the fundamental law of this universe.
If this law wasn't restricted by the star force universe, Gao Zhengyang felt that it was qualified to be listed as a level 14 power. It was just that this law definitely belonged to the star force universe, and it was only a small part of it.
In order to be able to display his strength in this universe, Gao Zhengyang had also cultivated his star force these few days. Of course, he was just casually practicing, and he was already much stronger than Bei Chen.
Gao Zhengyang also accepted the Radiant Flying Scale Armor and Xiaoming that Bei Chen had left behind.
Actually, as the communication channel, Xiaoming was under immense pressure. She almost died on the spot. It was also because Gao Zhengyang's spirit force was strong, and he forcefully gathered Xiaoming's core laws together, so that the Light of her Soul didn't extinguish.
After a few days of treatment, Xiaoming had already recovered. It was just that Xiaoming felt a little unfamiliar with Gao Zhengyang. She wasn't close to Gao Zhengyang either.
Xiaoming got along well with Moon Breeze. As weapon spirits, Moon Breeze and Moon Breeze had similarities in terms of life level with Xiaoming. Also, it was thanks to the life source of the Blood God Flag that Xiaoming could be alive and kicking.
When Gao Zhengyang had nothing to do, he would fiddle with all kinds of human technological products. There were virtual Star Web, games, and all kinds of exquisite daily necessities.
The technology of this generation of humans had always been advancing, and there were no gaps. Although technology was used for military purposes, it would naturally be used for civilian purposes after the advancement of technology.
Gao Zhengyang had to admit that in terms of technological level, the humans in this universe were the highest he had ever seen.
Space jumps, star armor miniaturization, body strengthening, synchronized Star Web information transmission, and so on.
In terms of the overall quality of life of humans, it had already reached a very high standard. It was just that in terms of life level and mental state, humans hadn't achieved a huge breakthrough yet.
The reason was very simple. Humans hadn't been able to break free from the restrictions of death. They couldn't even break free from the restrictions of time.
A normal person's lifespan was only a few hundred years. Only Golden Divine Generals like Chu Que, because of the changes in the star power law, had their lifespan limit expanded again. However, it was still very difficult for them to live for more than a thousand years.
From the perspective of humans, a thousand years was certainly a very long time. However, when this time dimension was placed in the endless universe, one would realize that the time dimension of humans was pitifully short.
It was like a huge galaxy, with all the celestial bodies revolving slowly around the galaxy's core. The time taken for the celestial bodies to make one revolution was calculated in units of hundreds of millions of years.
As a kind of short-lived life, humans were unable to break free from the restrictions of time and space. Naturally, they couldn't achieve a huge breakthrough in their mental state.
However, their short lifespan also made humans cherish everything in the universe more. That was why they were able to create a colorful life and come up with all kinds of strange ideas.
Gao Zhengyang felt that he was losing his passion and creativity. Existences that lived for too long would all become like this.
In fact, all Godkings were the same. They were all pursuing a higher level of life. However, no matter how much time passed, their bodies didn't change at all.
That was why Gao Zhengyang liked the little things of humans. He could see thoughts, intelligence, and exuberant creativity in each of them.
On this day, Gao Zhengyang was playing the virtual Three Kingdoms game in his room. This game didn't rely on the player's control, but on all sorts of strategies.
This kind of free-form sandbox game had countless possibilities because of the A.I.'s deduction. After playing for a day, Gao Zhengyang had already died five times.
He preferred to rush forward and attack. He had a good grasp of the big picture, but he was lacking in the details. Without his powerful martial arts, the characters he controlled died a terrible death.
It was the same this time. As Lu Bu's follower, he had followed the army into battle. However, he made two consecutive mistakes and was stabbed to death by Lu Bu's halberd.
Gao Zhengyang was sullen. Just as he was about to start another round of torturing Lu Bu, he heard a knock on the door.
As a Godking, Gao Zhengyang could easily sense his surroundings. However, that would be too boring. Gao Zhengyang restrained his power and didn't take the initiative to sense the changes in his surroundings.
However, from the orderly and steady knocks on the door, Chu Que's calm blue eyes appeared in Gao Zhengyang's mind.
"Come in." Gao Zhengyang closed the game and called out lazily.
Chu Que, dressed in a dark blue dress, walked in slowly. The long dress she wore was made of satin. The fabric was smooth and glossy. The dress reached her ankles, but the slit was very high. Her slender legs could be vaguely seen as she walked.
Gao Zhengyang hid in his room and rarely came out. However, Chu Que wouldn't ignore him. She had been busy with many things these few days. On the one hand, she was thinking about how to face Gao Zhengyang.
Chu Que felt that Gao Zhengyang was too strong. It was better for her to use a more feminine appearance to communicate with him more easily.
Sure enough, Chu Que saw a look of admiration in Gao Zhengyang's eyes. Moreover, he looked very carefully and boldly. He didn't hide anything.
Chu Que couldn't tell if he had lust or not. However, looking at Gao Zhengyang, he at least liked beautiful women. In this aspect, he was very similar to Bei Chen.
The relationship between Gao Zhengyang and Bei Chen was also what Chu Que was most curious about. She felt that there were similarities between the two. Of course, there were many differences.
If Bei Chen was a peerless genius, then Gao Zhengyang was an unfathomable god. The gap between the two was so huge that there was no comparison.
Chu Que bowed politely and said, "I won't disturb you. I want to talk to you …"
"Have a seat."
Gao Zhengyang sat up from the bed. "I'm free. We can talk."
Chu Que smiled and sat down on the chair beside the desk. As a top noble, although she had been a soldier for hundreds of years and had risked her life. But the strict education she had received since childhood still went deep into her bones.
At this time, every move of hers was full of feminine grace and elegance.
Gao Zhengyang also felt that Chu Que was pleasing to the eye. Although Chu Que looked beautiful in a military uniform, she didn't have that kind of feminine softness.
Chu Que asked with concern, "How have you been living these days? If you need anything, just let me know."
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Que said, "If you like young and beautiful girls, I can also help."
Gao Zhengyang's eyes lit up and he praised, "Not bad, not bad. I like beautiful girls the most."
Chu Que nodded. "I'll make the arrangements."
She wanted to persuade Gao Zhengyang to pay attention to his status and not use force. However, she didn't say it out loud in the end.
Gao Zhengyang was too powerful. There was no point in stopping him if he wanted to do something. Instead, it might anger Gao Zhengyang.
As a soldier, Chu Que knew what to do. Compared to hundreds of billions of people, young and beautiful girls were nothing.
This kind of thinking was very utilitarian, even ugly. But as a superior, Chu Que didn't have the right to be idealistic.
Humans had experienced countless hardships, and all the idealistic people had died long ago. Only those who faced reality head-on could bravely survive.
Chu Que said, "Beichen's statue has been built. Do you want to take a look?"
"That's fine." Gao Zhengyang had nothing to do anyway, so it was good to take a look.
Chu Que called Tong Chen over to accompany Gao Zhengyang to the Martyr's Palace.
Tong Chen followed Chu Que's request and wore a light green knee-length skirt. The overall style was very conservative, with a round collar covering a part of the neck.
However, Tong Chen was only in her twenties. She had the unique liveliness of her age, and the light green skirt looked especially lively.
As the most outstanding representative of the new generation of humans, there was nothing to nitpick about Tong Chen's facial features, skin color, and figure. She was already a Gold Star Master, and her body and mental state were almost perfect.
Tong Chen wasn't as experienced as Chu Que. She appeared somewhat bashful under Gao Zhengyang's gaze. She actually admired Gao Zhengyang a lot because she had seen Gao Zhengyang turn the tide and annihilate the Snake race with a snap of his fingers.
However, as a young genius, she didn't like the feeling of wrapping herself up and giving it away as a gift. But she couldn't disobey Chu Que's orders.
Moreover, Tong Chen knew very well that this was for the sake of humanity. Her preferences weren't important at all.
Gao Zhengyang liked Tong Chen's current state. She was serious, lively, conservative, and sexy. Her attitude and emotions were so real and interesting.
"The Martyr's Palace is on the Steel City. We need to take a boat there," Chu Que said.
The Steel City was actually one of the largest human airships. It was close to three hundred kilometers long and had a complete ecological system. It could accommodate five hundred million people, which was equivalent to a small world.
Humans could naturally build larger airships, but for safety reasons, larger airships couldn't perform spatial jumps. The fixed star fortresses of the past weren't suitable for the current situation.
After the Snake race was eliminated, humans could build giant star fortresses again. That would require a huge amount of resources and couldn't be completed in a short time.
At this stage, giant airships were the most practical. An important structure like the Martyr's Palace naturally had to be placed on the Steel City.
Gao Zhengyang said, "No need for a spaceship, I'll take you there."
He snapped his fingers. Chu Que and Tong Chen didn't even feel anything strange as the three arrived at the entrance of the Martyr's Palace inside the Steel City.
The Steel City calling itself a small world wasn't an exaggeration. There was a long road in front of the Martyr's Palace, lined with tall cypress trees. The ancient Martyr's Palace was built entirely of stone, simple and dignified.
The road was filled with people, but no one made a racket. Everyone was holding white chrysanthemums or lilies in their hands. The atmosphere was solemn.
Gao Zhengyang's group suddenly appeared, but no one noticed anything out of the ordinary. No one recognized Chu Que, either.
Chu Que's appearance in his military uniform was too deep in their hearts. Moreover, Chu Que had made some minor adjustments. These minor changes could easily mislead people's senses. Most people wouldn't be able to recognize her.
The three lined up and entered the Martyr's Palace. The first thing they saw upon entering the main hall was the ten-meter-tall statue of Bei Chen.
Bei Chen was clad in Radiant Flying Scale Star Armor and had two swords strapped to his back. He looked into the distance with a resolute gaze and a serious expression.
Tong Ying and Cheng Qingyun's statues, on the other hand, were very beautiful. They were a perfect match for Bei Chen's side.
There was a sea of white flowers at the foot of Bei Chen's statue. Everyone stopped fifty meters away and bowed deeply to show their respect.
Gao Zhengyang naturally wouldn't bow. Chu Que and Tong Chen both bowed deeply to express their respect.
Gao Zhengyang stood proudly amidst the bowing crowd. He was especially eye-catching. Behind him, a large number of people stared at Gao Zhengyang, their gazes as sharp as swords.
If it weren't for the fact that the occasion wasn't right, these people would've taught Gao Zhengyang a lesson.
Gao Zhengyang didn't care about the gazes around him. He looked at Bei Chen's statue and said, "This is to your liking. Not bad, it's quite impressive …"
When the surrounding people heard Gao Zhengyang's words, they couldn't help but glare at him.
