Faced with dwindling resources and heavy casualties, the council debated surrendering a Divine Artifact. Long Bai ultimately decided to abandon several defense lines and consolidate forces on the Third Planet. Meanwhile, Su Ming experienced a vivid memory of a past betrayal and the subsequent collapse of his unified empire, leaving him feeling exhausted and questioning his past actions.

He clearly wished for world peace, a world without war, without bloodshed, without sorrow. What did he do wrong?

Why is everyone against him?

He truly can’t accept this, can’t understand it, and can’t admit his own failure.

In the end, he had his most loyal follower, Omiser, leave, facing all of this alone.

Although failure can start from scratch, people’s hearts have changed and cannot be recovered.

That night was very dark, not a trace of starlight could be seen, the black night was like a man-eating beast.

Su Ming sat alone on the throne, hearing only the chaotic sounds of siege and cries for battle outside.

The candle lights inside the hall were slowly extinguished, and then gradually plunged into darkness.

Eventually, various rebel armies stormed into the hall.

However, the entire hall was empty, with only a crown placed on the throne, Su Ming was never seen again.

As of this moment, Su Ming vanished like a puff of smoke, never to be seen again.

All kinds of rumors spread about him in the world.

Some said he was not resigned to defeat and chose to hang himself.

Some said he moved behind the scenes, covertly controlling the major forces.

Others said he retreated into seclusion and no longer got involved in worldly affairs.

Moreover, some said he chose to wander the ends of the earth, changing his ways at the edge of the cliff.

As of this moment, he became a legend, untraceable.

...

Xi Guang Laboratory · High-grade ward.

Su Ming’s eyelids twitched slightly, the values on the monitoring equipment fluctuated greatly.

Dr. Bodden noticed the fluctuation of the instrument’s values and immediately turned his head to look at Su Ming.

At this moment, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes, gazing blankly at the ceiling.

"Lord Su Ming, you’re awake."

Dr. Bodden spoke excitedly.

Su Ming heard Dr. Bodden’s words and turned his head with difficulty to look at him, saying.

"How did I get here?"

"You suffered severe wounds and were brought here."

Bodden replied excitedly.

"Not good, the frontline!"

Su Ming suddenly remembered.

"My Lord, you don’t need to worry, the frontline is secure, the enemy has retreated."

Bodden quickly said.

"Secure?"

Su Ming was shocked to hear this.

"You just woke up, don’t think too much, have a good rest, I’ll go notify Dr. Blakes and the others."

Bodden hurriedly ran out.

Su Ming lay confused on the bed.

The ward door was pushed open, Rhein and Gabres rushed in one after another.

"Su Ming!"

"Boss!"

...

Rhein and the others saw that Su Ming was awake, and shouted excitedly.

Su Ming saw Rhein and the others, and a weak smile appeared on his face.

"You’re all here."

"Boss, you’re finally awake, if you hadn’t woken up, we were all about to die of anxiety!"

Rhein and the others said with reddened eyes.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

Su Ming asked bewilderedly.

"You’ve been in a coma for seven days, if it weren’t for the guarantee from the people at Xi Guang Laboratory that you would definitely be fine, I’d have doubted whether you would survive." Gabres said to Su Ming.

"Sorry for worrying you."

"What’s the use of saying that?"

"Right, how did I survive? The last thing I remember is Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader self-destructing, and then the Mechanical Clan Leader attacking."

Su Ming asked in confusion.

Rhein and the others heard this, and their expressions became unnatural, not knowing what to say.

Noticing their unnatural expressions, Su Ming turned to Gabres and asked.

"Gabres?"

"It was Sigurd who saved you."

Gabres said in a heavy voice.

"Sigurd?"

Su Ming was slightly taken aback.

"At the last moment, he sacrificed himself by blocking for you with a Light Speed Fold Flash."

Gabres said with deep sadness.

Su Ming heard Gabres’ words, and suddenly his heart sank to the bottom, showing a sorrowful expression on his face.

Gabres took a deep breath and pretended to speak lightly to Su Ming.

"Don’t be sad, that was his choice. You should also be happy that he gambled and won, successfully saving your life! To be honest, it was thanks to your good fortune, originally Sigurd was entangled by Fadale and didn’t have a chance to rescue you. But at the critical moment, that Fadale suddenly stopped, giving Sigurd a chance to break free."

"I understand now, how the Mechanical Clan Leader was repelled."

Su Ming was silent for a long time, then opened his mouth to ask.

"Lord Long Bai personally piloted the Dark Demon God, joined the battle with the New-type Star Destroyer, and eventually forced the enemy to retreat."

Gabres sighed and explained.

Su Ming, hearing this, became increasingly silent.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Dr. Blakes and Dr. Bodden walked in.

Dr. Blakes walked straight to the bedside, carefully examined Su Ming, and then spoke.

"Your injuries are severe. Although your life is saved, you need to rest properly."

"Blakes, what about Ilyas?"

Su Ming slowly raised his head to look at Blakes and asked.

"She was heavily injured and is in the cultivation area."

Blakes replied coldly.

"Take me to see her."

Su Ming said hoarsely.

"Boss, wouldn’t it be better to rest first and go see when your body has recovered?"

Rhein and the others urged in unison.

"I’m fine."

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

"Suit yourself!"

Blakes did not refuse, only speaking coldly.

"Rhein, get a wheelchair,"

Su Ming said to Rhein.

"Okay!"

Rhein promptly answered.

...

Moments later.

Rhein and the others pushed Su Ming, following Dr. Blakes through layers of light cards, arriving at the observation deck of the cultivation area.

From the observation deck glass, Su Ming looked inside, seeing countless tubes extending down from the ceiling, inserted into a giant biological tank towering 300 meters high.
