Chapter 142: Chapter 142: The Last Elegy of Civilization!
While speaking those words, Shen Hao indeed had stored some of his power, and even a part of his consciousness within Yang Jun’s body.
It would awaken when necessary.
This was also a usage of the “Emperor” profession combined with “Divine Descent.”
During this period, Shen Hao was able to sit down and continued disseminating his power without interruption, quickly deepening his understanding of the “Emperor” profession.
This profession did not have skills that could be learned directly; everything had to be explored on one’s own, but this process was also a continuously empowering one.
In fact, Shen Hao felt that the speed of his strength increase had further accelerated.
...
Reaching Level 17 also wouldn’t take much longer.
Meanwhile, Yang Jun could indeed feel that powerful force within his body, a sensation of being in the presence of the President, which undoubtedly provided the greatest sense of security for a warrior deployed on a mission.
He saluted Shen Hao and then boarded the spaceship.
This diplomatic mission was naturally not chaired by Yang Jun, but by another distinguished Diplomat who was also one of the Chosen Ones. Dispatching Yang Jun was partly for safety, and partly because Yang Jun’s power had become rather ineffectual on their Mother Planet.
Unlike others who could still be useful in digging holes at least.
Even Gu Qiuyue could easily crush heavy rocks and loosen the soil with her fists.
Only Yang Jun, even with the power bestowed by Shen Hao, might not match others who had become cultivators.
“Yang Jun’s strength combined with my power should be foolproof,” Shen Hao looked up in the direction they left, then continued with his own tasks.
The Chosen One Mall had just upgraded, and he had plenty of things that needed his attention.
As the Store Level increased, so did the scope of the domains involved. What was urgently needed and how much, all required re
No one could control their emotions.
Even Emperor Larry, seemed to want to say something at this time, but he too trembled and could not speak.
Still, it was Princess Karla.
Although equally trembling with excitement and her eyes bloodshot, she still clenched her teeth and forcefully said, “We don’t know what they will assess, but we must show our best side! Open the storehouse, distribute some food to the people outside, and replenish the guards and maids in the palace, and the officials! At least get the Imperial City running again!”
“No, we can’t!” Larry suddenly spoke up at this time, his gaze filled with fear, “That’s the last of the food. Those people will not survive. If we still don’t get any help, that food…”
“Do as I command!” Princess Karla cut off her father’s words, her fists clenched tightly, she said emphatically, “Starting from now, I am the Emperor of the Empire! Make it known publicly!”
Larry trembled, disbelievingly looking at his daughter.
“You have given up all hope, you no longer have the courage to stand up again.” Karla’s tears finally flowed uncontrollably, “But I haven’t given up, no matter what, I must seize this last hope!”
“…” Larry seemed to want to say something else.
But then, the words of the minister and Al interrupted him.
“Yes! Your Majesty the Queen!”
These two men expressed their attitude with their words.
So did everyone else.
In the face of such an apocalyptic disaster, past authority and power became meaningless.
People would only believe in someone who could give them hope, give them confidence.
Clearly, at this moment, Princess Karla was that person.
Perhaps she herself had not expected to become queen in this way.
No meticulous planning, no large-scale rebellion, not even any bloody struggle, but merely because she still wanted to struggle to seize the last hope that had appeared.
However, it was only when she sat on the throne that she became more acutely aware of the pressure her father had felt.
The entire nation, the entire species, might very well be completely annihilated in her hands!
“No! Absolutely not!” Princess Karla clenched her fists.
Three Mother Planet days later, four Siti days later, the delegation finally arrived on this planet, now covered in snow and ice.
The whole planet showed no hint of green, everything was blanketed with white snow and storms, and an even bigger storm was brewing with no signs of life in sight.
Yang Jun and the members of the delegation felt an indescribable heaviness at this moment.
Perhaps this civilization once had a similarly glorious, long history, characters worthy of epic tales, a unique culture and heritage, but now, everything would come to an end in the trial, heading towards extinction.
Compared to individual death, the death of a civilization was even more monumental, more shocking.
“About how many people are left in this civilization?” Yang Jun took a deep breath and made contact with the three Observers who had been sent earlier.
“According to the life reaction scan, about one hundred twenty million people, and the number is still decreasing,” said the lead Observer, his tone very somber.
When he had first arrived, although the whole planet was already badly damaged, one could still see traces of people’s movements.
They were so similar to humans.
Similar families, unique but also similar buildings, even factories representing the future of the civilization.
No threat from the Undead.
But as the temperature gradually dropped, until the snowstorms began, everything changed.
They witnessed the final lament of a civilization!
