The President's office.
Gu Qing Shan sat down on the sofa.
The President walked around the desk, walked to his chair, leaned on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and slowly sat down.
His back was straight, his lips were tight as he squinted his eyes to observe Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan looked around and purposely asked: "Why don't I see General Zhang?"
"I sent him to the frontline, Fuxi is preparing to launch an invasion against us" the President replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
"There's something I want to tell you in advance" Gu Qing Shan said.
He looked around.
There were a lot of people here.
But the President didn't dismiss his aides this time.
Noticing Gu Qing Shan's gaze, the President casually waved his hand: "It's fine, these are all veterans that have followed me for many years"
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a bit, then said: "Very well"
At this point, a tall aide came forward and politely asked: "Coffee or tea?"
"No need" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"It's fine" the tall aide smiled, "there's always time to make a cup of tea"
"Then tea it is" Gu Qing Shan looked down and said.
"Very well"
The tall aide immediately went to brew a pot of tea and brought it in.
The tea was very hot, so he bent down and slowly poured two cups.
One was placed on the President's desk.
The other was placed on the coffee table in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan stared at the patterns on the tea set and commented: "This tea set is quite nice"
The tall aide smiled apologetically to his colleagues and half-jokingly said: "Unfortunately, there are only two cups in this tea set, only the President and Gu Qing Shan can share it, no one else has a share, please believe in my fairness"
Saying so, he retreated back to his aides.
The other aides didn't mind this, after all, one was the host and one was the guest, having tea on hand was basic etiquette, it didn't matter if they had it or not.
On the other hand, seeing the tall aide do everything so diligently made everyone feel good.
They just smiled and said nothing.
Gu Qing Shan picked up the teacup and dabbed at her lips.
The President also picked up his tea and sniffed it.
He frowned and put the tea back.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the president and said slowly, "I'm here to report the situation."
"Speak," the President said.
Gu Qing Shan put down her tea and spoke with a serious tone: "For countless years, the powerful Professionists who died will return together with the Frozen Hell"
"They will treat the world like demons."
"They eat human flesh and drink human blood. They don't even let go of souls."
"Mr. President, you can contact Impartial Goddess for the exact situation, she will report to you the current state of the ice formation on the surface through statistics"
As he spoke, the optical computer in his chest kept flashing, alerting him of new information.
The A.I. continued to shine.
Gu Qing Shan could only say: "Please forgive me, I have a message"
"Suit yourself."
The President frowned, as if he was thinking about Gu Qing Shan's words.
Gu Qing Shan took out her Holo-Brain and glanced at it.
A line of text appeared on the Holo-Brain's screen.
"Jang Young-ho told me to tell you, he's used underground forces to investigate, while Empress has mobilized all forces on the surface to search, but the Fuxi Empire still hasn't found His Majesty the Emperor"
The message came from Impartial Goddess.
Reading the text on the screen, Gu Qing Shan picked up her tea and took a sip.
He tapped on the Holo-Brain and issued a few commands.
"Alright, sorry about that" Gu Qing Shan smiled and said.
The President asked: "Do you have any proof for what you said?"
Gu Qing Shan answered: "I do, you can ask Impartial Goddess about the relevant details"
The President nodded, then asked: "This Frozen Hell you mentioned, when will it fully appear?"
"It will probably erupt as soon as the rain stops" Gu Qing Shan answered.
The President leaned forward and asked seriously: "Then, how did you know about this?"
"I have my own channels"
"Your channels, can you tell me?"
"I'm sorry, I can only tell you the news"
The President muses: "I remember you were the one who first found out about the Man Eater Fiends and Man Killer Fiends"
"That's right"
"That day you were at the casino — — -you and Jang Young-ho were at the casino, participating in the underground gambling"
Gu Qing Shan put her cup back on the table and smiled: "You investigated me?"
The President looked at her and spoke with deep meaning: "Because you're too similar to a prophet, and you're a scientist, do you know what that means?"
"What does it mean?"
"To be frank, who could easily create such a thing? So the Man Eater Fiend and Man Killer Fiend virus were actually your handiwork "the President said.
He clapped his hands.
"I heard you're also a Professionist, but I think that should be enough"
Two middle-aged men in military uniform came into the guest room.
Sea Emperor Li Dong Yuan, Interstellar Fleet Commander Song Tian Wu.
Two of the three strongest people in the Federation were here.
The President spoke: "We have first-rate lie detectors, as well as first-rate information-gathering methods, if you're innocent, I'll let you go and apologize to you"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "And if it's true?"
The President spoke: "Hand over all your research results and work for me from now on, I can guarantee your life"
Gu Qing Shan sighed and asked: "Can you give me a bit more time to consider?"
The President looked at his watch and stood up: "I'm about to make a national speech, it'll take about 20 minutes, after I'm done, I hope you'll be able to consider it carefully"
The President left the reception room and walked out. His aides hurriedly followed.
The two Generals came up, one on the left and one on the right, standing in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Sea Emperor Li Dong Yuan spoke: "You're a scientist, for the sake of your dignity and dignity, I hope you won't act rashly"
Gu Qing Shan didn't move.
The Generals' Holo-Brains suddenly lit up.
Impartial Goddess' solemn voice came: [Her excellency Gu Qing Shan is the great Envoy who pushed humanity's civilization forward, the first in the Federation's order, the highest leader]
[Through Impartial Goddess' investigation, the Man Eater Fiend and Man Killer Fiend viruses were not developed by her excellency Gu Qing Shan]
[Her excellency Gu Qing Shan should not be interrogated or detained in any way]
Halfway there, the President suddenly stopped.
He coldly asked: "Impartial Goddess, I want to know, does this scientist have the same authority as I do"
He started to exude an aura.
Killing intent.
Impartial Goddess replied: [That is not the case, all of the Federation's decisions and national affairs are handled by the President himself, her excellency Gu Qing Shan holds the highest honor]
The President's expression loosened a bit, muttering: "She can reach this point with just her scientific contributions? How interesting "
He turned around and quickly left.
The two Generals exchanged looks, both of them had a strange expression on their faces.
Li Dong Yuan evaluated Gu Qing Shan and spoke: "If she's a top-level scientist, she should be of some use"
Song Tian Wu replied: "Not much use"
Saying so, the two of them went silent without saying anything else.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Did the President go to give a nationally televised speech?"
"That's right" Song Tian Wu replied.
Gu Qing Shan slowly took out her Holo-Brain.
The two Generals looked at her.
"I can at least watch the President's televised speech" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
The two Generals exchanged looks and nodded.
Gu Qing Shan turned on the screen.
The President had already started his speech.
"… All citizens of the Federation should have the right to know about this"
"That's right, the 9 Lords aristocrats have been trying to assassinate me, a total of 31 times in the last few years"
"As a president, I have reached the point where I have nowhere else to go."
"This is the deepest insult to the Federation's laws"
"That's right, I have all the evidence of the assassination attempts"
"Next, I'll show you the crimes of the 9 Lords"
The scene changed.
The cause and effect of each assassination.
The conversation between the 9 Lords aristocrats.
The assassins' arrangements.
The anger of failure.
Another round of planning and discussion.
All the evidence of the assassination attempts appeared on the screen.
And right now, it was being broadcasted live.
"What are you doing sir, this isn't the same as the script I wrote" one of the aides exclaimed in shock.
The rest of the aides were also stunned.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes became cold as she looked at the screen.
When the Fuxi Empire's army arrived, the President chose to reveal the truth.
But the evidence was irrefutable.
Just like that, a shocking conspiracy was exposed in the light of day.
The current President has the highest support rate in history, deeply loved by the public.
When the public finds out about this truth, the entire Federation will fall into a state of shock.
The aristocrats will no longer be able to blame foreign forces for the President's assassination to divert the public's attention.
All of this will be the truth of their crimes.
What will come next will be the entire Freedom Federation's accusation against the 9 Lords.
The enmity between the Federation's citizens and the aristocrats will reach the highest point in the Federation's history.
Without a doubt, the Federation will fall into internal strife — — - or even civil war.
Gu Qing Shan's heart was already hanging by a thread.
After 6-7 minutes, all the evidence was finally shown.
The President once again appeared on the screen.
"The 9 Lords' aristocrats are rotten to the core"
"They can no longer lead this country forward"
"They've dragged down the entire country!"
"A few of our generals have already joined the resistance"
"The army is with me, freedom is with me, you are with me!"
"Now, I call on everyone to follow me, take up arms and resist the 9 Lords' cruel rule!"
The President looked at the screen and loudly declared: "I declare, the Freedom Federation's glorious revolution has begun!"
The screen stopped.
"Glorious … revolution?"
As Gu Qing Shan read it aloud, her face was filled with seriousness like never before.
The Fuxi Empire is about to invade, the Frozen Hell is about to appear in the human realm. At such a critical moment, the President exposed the 9 Lords' actions to the public.
The Federation is about to fall into chaos from this moment on?
"I thought it would be a pre-war mobilization, who knew it would be like this … it seems the Federation is about to fall into civil war" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
"Put your Holo-Brain away" Song Tiancheng said.
Gu Qing Shan put the Holo-Brain away.
A few moments later, the President returned.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yes" Song Tiancheng answered.
"Detonate it" the President ordered.
"Yes!"
In space.
The S.W. Divine Temple Interstellar Fortress.
A small black box about the size of a fingernail suddenly appeared in the space that Impartial Goddess had previously isolated.
A Nano Disintegration Bomb.
When the space engineers were maintaining the S.W. Divine Temple, a Marine Captain secretly planted a Nano Disintegration Bomb inside.
It can quickly destroy the S.W. Divine Temple's energy pool and paralyze Impartial Goddess' energy supply system.
Up until now, this Nano Disintegration Bomb had remained silent.
But now, it suddenly activated!
Bam!
The Nano Disintegration Bomb let out a clear cracking sound, then quickly scattered into white mist.
This white mist was an uncountable number of Nano Disintegration Robots.
As soon as they're activated, they'll immediately go to work and destroy everything around them.
Unfortunately, this place has already been isolated from the outside world, as well as covered in special materials that can defend against Nano bombs.
The Nano Disintegration Bomb didn't do anything.
But all signals on the S.W. Divine Temple were cut off.
The entire Interstellar Fortress fell into darkness.
Space, extremely far away from the S.W. Divine Temple.
An inconspicuous meteorite.
Suddenly, it flipped over layer by layer and assembled into a miniature surveillance satellite.
The surveillance satellite was monitoring the S.W. Divine Temple's interstellar fortress for a series of signal detection and monitoring.
Finally, it came to a conclusion.
Its conclusion quickly passed through space, entered the atmosphere, fell into the Freedom Federation's Holo-Brain and began to beep in the Presidential Palace's Holo-Brain.
"Success, Impartial Goddess is paralyzed!"
The two Generals excitedly exclaimed.
The President's cold expression finally showed a bit of warmth.
According to the plan, being able to reach this point is already a perfect ending.
Without Impartial Goddess' interference, the operation against the 9 Lords can proceed smoothly.
As the highest leader of humanity, he knows that the 9 Lords can deal with the space monsters.
But if hell were to descend, and the world is filled with undying people, who would be afraid of the monsters?
— — -the moment they've been waiting for is finally here!
"Very well, mobilize your people, immediately mobilize the military and prepare to attack the 9 Lords" the President ordered.
"Yes!"
The two Generals saluted, turned around and hurriedly left.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say a single word during the entire time.
The President looked at him, then slowly sat down across from him.
Even when he was sitting on the sofa, his back was straight, his shoulders were level, his eyes were focused, his every movement was flawless.
There was not the slightest expression on his face. He was like a cold mountain.
The President turned on his Holo-Brain, preparing something.
After a while, he finally asked: "Have you thought it through? Pledge your allegiance to me, and you'll receive an unprecedented opportunity "
"What if I don't pledge my allegiance?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"A scientist who's willing to become a servant of the 9 Lords, the Federation doesn't need you"
The President's gaze lightly glanced at Gu Qing Shan, his mouth unconsciously forming a thin line.
"I've thought it through, but I have a question that I need to ask you first" Gu Qing Shan said.
You still dare to ask for conditions?
The President's eyes became a bit colder, as a dignified aura appeared from his body.
This kind of aura is enough to make a normal person's legs tremble, unable to say a single word.
But Gu Qing Shan silently stared at the President, seemingly unaffected.
"I'll give you one last chance, ask me"
The President stared at him and said.
The president was still sitting there motionlessly with his back straight.
No matter what he did or what he said, his head wouldn't easily move — — as if there was something on top of his head.
