“I thank you, your Majesty, but currently I have something else more important” Gu Qing Shan very quickly glanced at Anna.

Anna was afraid that the Emperor’s mood might worsen again, so she quickly walked up and held the Empress’ hand: “I want to stay with him at the Confederate for a short while”

The Empress gently rubbed her face, asking in a low voice: “Serious?”

Anna’s face flushed, then she nodded.

The Empress smiled wryly: “But the Fuxi Empire had just announced its protection of you, for you to run away too quickly, it’s hard to say”

“It’s fine, isn’t it? I just want to be with him for a while is all” Anna tried to act spoiled.

The Empress could only smile wryly, but couldn’t say anything.

This matter is as big or small as it is made out to be, everything depends on the Emperor’s thoughts.

The Emperor very quickly glanced at his officials.

One of the officials nodded slightly without revealing his movement.

The Emperor was thinking.

A person’s emotions can’t be faked, she really does want to come with him.

——–seems like little Anna found true love this time.

That is to say, Anna doesn’t want to leave Fuxi and come into the embrace the Confederate.

That’s fine as long as that’s not the case.

At this point, the Empress turned around, saying with a hint of consolation and testing at the same time: “Your Majesty, it seems Anna is a bit too naughty”

The Emperor laughed: “I may control an entire empire, but even I can’t control the hearts of two youngsters”

“However, I have a little suggestion”

“Please let us hear us, your Majesty” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Anna is my niece, so I can’t have you keep her to yourself for too long. After a while, come with her to Fuxi, I’ll make sure to give you the best reception you deserve” the Emperor said very peacefully.

Then he glanced at the Empress.

The Empress quickly: “Two weeks later, during the hottest day of the year, we’ll let you come with us to our Northern Palace, the weather there is quite fine. You can go hunting in the morning and there’s a place for a ball in the evenings, if you’re lucky, we might even be able to observe some space monsters with the telescope”

The Emperor was pleased, nodded and asked: “Scientist Gu, what do you think about this suggestion?”

Gu Qing Shan bowed politely and answered: “I heard the Imperial Deer is quite an excellent article, so I must try some at that time”

The Emperor looked at him in surprise and smiled: “You didn’t seem it but you’re also an expert aren’t you, when you leave, you can take a casket of it to slowly savor”

“Thank you, your Majesty”

“Very well, then the middle of next month, both of you shall return together” the Empress very quickly made it an official arrange with a clap of her hands.

“Little Anna, what do you think?” the Emperor tilted his head to her and asked with a smile.

“I also want a casket of Imperial Deer, I’ll return to Fuxi after I finish them” Anna licked her lips and said.

The Emperor laughed heartily and pointed at her: “You can forget about it. Do you think I really don’t know who took my 80-year Imperial Deer?”

Anna was teased like that by the Emperor in front of everyone, but still lifted her chin without a hint of fear.

“Give me half of what you get” she looked at Gu Qing Shan and declared.

“Let’s drink together, we’ll go to Fuxi after that, I just hope the Emperor won’t run dry because of us” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“I’ll have someone pick you up at that time” the Emperor smiled and said.

Being able to put such a talent into the Empire’s embrace by such a method, the Emperor was in an exceptionally good mood.

At this point, an official came and reported in a low voice: “Your Majesty, it’s time for the night banquet”

The Empire took the Empress’ hand and stood up, speaking: “You can leave after dinner”

“It will be my honor; may I call a friend over?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Call them, call all of them, the more the merrier after all” the Emperor said and leave first with the Empress.

The crowd also followed after his Majesty the Emperor.

Anna was finally able to breath out, glaring at Gu Qing Shan: “Why aren’t you the least bit anxious”

“The Emperor is also only a human” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“But he’s not just the Emperor, he’s the strongest Professionist in the entire Empire, perhaps even the world”

“But he’s still human” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He was silently thinking about his Shifu’s prowess in battle.

Anna looked at him to see that he really was very calm, she became even more pleased.

“Did you know? Even the Holy Church’s Pope has to always keep up their guard in front of him”

“I didn’t do anything that would displease him now, did I?”

“Fine, you kept up quite the good act, let’s hope you can keep it up during the banquet as well” Anna pinched his ears and said.

“I’ll call Zhang Ying Hao over first, having to wait for so long, he’s probably hungry” Gu Qing Shan rubbed his pinched ear and spoke wryly.

On another side.

The Emperor was standing in front of a large mirror as two female servants helped him change his clothes.

“Found it yet?” he asked.

“We have, dozens of the core protocols technologies for what’s called the ‘Life Algorithm’ was all created by Gu Qing Shan” an official answered.

“I must say, he’s truly a genius Mech scientist” the official couldn’t help but praised him.

“Such a talent is wasted in the Confederate” the Emperor commented.

A guard quickly walked over and knelt down on one leg to report: “Gu Qing Shan together with Anna brought another man into the banquet”

“Who’s he? His research assistant?” the Emperor asked.

“No sire, it’s a 9 Lords Aristocrat, called Zhang Ying Hao” the guard spoke.

“9 Lords…” the Emperor coldly scoffed, “he’s someone specially sent by the 9 Lords to win Gu Qing Shan over?”

“He isn’t, this is Zhang Ying Hao’s personal profile, please take a look sire”

The Emperor took the Holo-Brain and quickly scanned over it.

He unexpectedly frowned and said: “A rebel of the 9 Lords? Hitman association? I couldn’t think that such a talent could still be born from those people”

The Emperor gave the Holo-Brain to the official.

The official quickly read through everything and judged: “The fact that they’re acquainted further means that Gu Qing Shan isn’t interested in the 9 Lords”

“Impartial Goddess is nothing but a bright jewel that’s already falling apart” the Emperor nodded, “right now, the cutting edge Mech technology must be held in the hands of the Empire and not those fools of the 9 Lords”

He has already finished putting on his suit, as the two female servants bowed and stepped out.

“Go and prepare” the Emperor said to the official, “after this banquet, we’re returning to the Empire”

The official was a bit shocked: “We aren’t participating in the upcoming conference?”

“We’re not, I only went here because there was something to do, now that I’ve achieved that, there’s no need to stay anymore”

The Emperor added: “As for the matter with the Genetic Modification Serum, the Empire will do as it likes, we have no need to discuss it with anyone else”

“Yes, sire” the official also stepped out.

Now that it was silent all around, the Emperor stared at himself in the mirror and muttered: “As long as they’re useful, they should be serving the Empire, that is the one true destiny of all”

Fixing his collar, a bit, he quickly left.

After the banquet.

Fuxi Empire’s Emperor didn’t stay to participate further with the conference and simply left the Confederate.

Sitting on the Fuxi Interstellar Warship, he left the conference center without paying any mind to the numerous calls from different departments of the Confederate.

The President was now talking with Gu Qing Shan; his tone was a bit tired.

“He probably only came here for the sake of his reputation and benefit, after he’s done with that, he left” the President said.

“That’s right, did princess Anna really stay here because of you?”

Gu Qing Shan glanced over at Anna, then said: “This is her Highness the princess’ own decision, I don’t really have any way to influence her”

The President sighed: “Now that Fuxi’s Emperor isn’t here, there’s no way for us to make this an official world-wide treaty, seems like there’s no way for the conference to continue”

“I also agree with you” Gu Qing Shan said.

After chatting for a bit more, their conversation ended.

After Gu Qing Shan hang up, he looked at Anna.

“Does the Medici clan have no one else left but you?” he asked.

“That’s right” Anna spoke, “because of that, technically speaking, I am the Holy Empire”

Gu Qing Shan asked her: “Does the Holy Empire have any remaining stock for the highest purity God’s Chosen Awakening Serum?”

“We don’t. Making one of them costs over half the treasury, so after I used it for myself, we didn’t make any more” Anna nonchalantly said.

So there aren’t any currently in stock as well, why is the mission for the evolution of “Smiting” so hard?

Gu Qing Shan felt his head hurt.

Thinking for a bit, he asked: “The God’s Chosen Awakening Serum’s recipe was taken by the Holy Church, right?”

Hearing that, Anna’s face finally showed a small change: “At most, they probably have half of it”

“Why so?”

“Because the other half, father has already given to me ——-in the entire world, only I hold the other half of the recipe”

“No wonder the Fuxi Emperor was so hurried to get you back to the Empire”

“What is it, do you need that thing?”

“That’s right”

“…You’ll really help me after this is over right?”

Seeing how Anna was a bit hesitant and anxious, Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt that he’s done something wrong.

That recipe is probably the only bargaining chip she has left.

But I’m already demanding it right after she made up her mind to stay behind.

Idiot,?Gu Qing Shan silently cursed himself.

“Follow me” he walked towards the large window pane in the room.

Anna followed him, also silently stepped in front of the window pane.

“I’m sorry for not noticing your feelings” Gu Qing Shan said.

Anna just stared at him without saying anything.

“Perhaps you’re feeling like you’re making a final gamble that’ll either end really well or really badly. But the fact that you’ve already made your decision, and yet I’m still making you anxious like this, it’s my fault”

“I really should’ve let you know something about me earlier”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan pointed at the scenery outside the window pane.

The International Conference Center was situated very well; so you can see everything from the city center to the very far edge of the city.

Her sight followed the direction he was pointing at; Anna was a bit confused.

Night has yet to fully arrive, so the entire capital was being enveloped in a dim orange light by the setting sun.

“It’s about to get dark, so I’m not really sure where you’re pointing at”

Saying so, Anna was still looking out the window, trying to find the thing that Gu Qing Shan was pointing at.

“What I want you to see, isn’t a certain place” smiling, Gu Qing Shan continued: “Please give us a bit of light”

Following his voice, from the scenery immediately outside the International Conference Center that they were looking at, past the school, the factory, the government skyscrapers, the Capital central hospital, large restaurants, movie theaters, stadiums, hotels, parks, squares, bridges… all the way until the horizon where the eye couldn’t quite make out anymore under the setting sun; no matter what it was, as long as it can emit light, be it streetlights, Holo-Brains, car and shuttle headlights, the outer lights of buildings tall and short, all the lights inside the building themselves, even the Mobile Mechs that were passing by all lit up at the same time.

An endless and intense sea of light.

This was the clearest evidence of humanity’s existence on this planet.
