Chapter 159: Chapter 159: The First Use of the Emperor’s Scepter!
Seeking help from humans…?
Ke Yi stared blankly at Shen Qian and his outstretched hand in front of him.
Even when facing an unbeatable enemy, facing certain death, he was able to remain calm; but at this moment, his mind went completely blank.
Was there really another chance?
Just by asking humans for help, could they eliminate the looming Undead Army of a million?
Did humans have an army nearby? But that should be impossible!
And this Envoy had actually called him weak?
“Weakness is the greatest insult to a noble of the Sky Spirit People.” Ke Yi took a deep breath and stared fiercely at Shen Qian, “What exactly are you going to do, how can you face down this million-strong Undead Army?”
“We have no obligation to explain.” Shen Qian maintained his posture, his tone and expression both very firm, “As I said, this is an opportunity. If you cannot believe in or seize an opportunity that is within reach, then we will immediately return, as the weak Sky Spirit Civilization has no qualifications to ally with us!”
He said weak again!
Indeed, Shen Qian had largely grasped the cultural characteristics of the Sky Spirit People, as well as the method of dealing with this species.
This simplest form of provocation was extremely effective for the arrogant!

And having them actively seek help also meant keeping the initiative firmly in hand!
At that moment, Ke Yi seemed angered by the gaze of the Envoy before him, and seemed too to surge with a sliver of hope he himself couldn’t quite believe.
He grabbed Shen Qian’s wrist firmly.
“Fine, I will seek help from Human Civilization. Come, demonstrate this opportunity you spoke of!”
At this moment, Shen Qian slightly revealed a smile, but he didn’t respond to Ke Yi’s words. Instead, he maintained the firm grip and looked up to the sky, speaking solemnly, “In the name of the envoy officially dispatched by the Global United Front of Human Civilization, I convey the request for aid from the Sky Spirit Person Ke Yi to the president of the Chosen One Association!”
This speech, powered by Extraordinary Power, reverberated expansively, using human language, but under the effect of translation magic, all the Sky Spirit People could hear it clearly.
The next moment, a grand voice boomed in the sky!
“Request granted.”
Accompanying this voice, all Sky Spirit People looked up, their eyes wide, because they seemed to see a gigantic figure sitting high upon a throne, intermittently visible in the sky above!
This was the projection of Shen Hao’s consciousness, aided by his connection with the delegation!
It must be said that the “Emperor’s Throne” indeed greatly enhanced his strength. If things continued like this, his consciousness might one day permeate every civilization and place his feet touched!
At this moment, he had fully understood the whole situation here.
As for Shen Qian’s choice, naturally he approved.
This million-strong Undead, could also serve as a test, seeing how many points he could obtain from resolving undeath across realms!
Shen Hao reached out and picked up the scepter floating beside his throne, and the high-altitude phantom made the same movements, then everyone saw, the increasingly solid and oppressive figure raise the scepter and slam it down fiercely towards the ground!
The next moment, a pale golden light beamed from the Human Mother Planet towards Planet No.6!
Its speed was unbelievably fast, surpassing even light speed!
This was forcibly tearing through space, creating a superluminal channel!
Utterly unabashed!
In the Sky Vault City of the Sky Spirit People, the piercing alarm sounded instantly, all Sages received the news at the same moment, but it was unnecessary; they turned their heads in horror, looking at the sky!
Immeasurable power broke through space, piercing the atmosphere with unstoppable force, and landed heavily in Ogen City!
Even tearing directly through the Undead World momentarily!
And for all the Sky Spirit People on the battlefield, they could only see, the gigantic scepter from the godlike large phantom hands smashing down heavily!
Golden streamers fell directly in the center of the Undead Army!
An immeasurable suppression burst out in an instant, thunder exploded, and everyone’s view was engulfed in a brilliant white golden light, some weaker ones even knelt directly under this indescribable suppression.
Even a powerful Ke Yi was taken aback, watching this scene in shock!
Once the light dissipated and the vision returned, nobody could forget the scene they had witnessed!
The once seemingly omnipresent Undead Army, ready to devour everything, had now vanished entirely, within the barren Undead World, only some residual spirits were left wailing as they dissipated, pale golden thunder still intermittently streaked by, and at the very center of the world, stood only a gold-and-black intertwined scepter, firmly planted there, still emanating endless suppression!
At this moment, even Ke Yi found it hard to stand steady.
His mind went blank, no words could describe his emotions at that moment!
Before seeking help, he had thought of various possibilities, various forms of support!
Including the possibility that the Human Civilization’s Legion had already hidden nearby, just waiting for his request for help before emerging!
But he could never have imagined that the outcome would be like this!
No need for legions, not even needing to arrive; the Undead Army, which they had seen as utterly unbeatable, was instantly annihilated in the presence of that one phantom, even from across the vast starry space!
Ke Yi suddenly understood why the envoy of human civilization had said, “Hope has always been there.”
Because all they had to do was lift their heads to see hope!
Looking at the envoys before him, Ke Yi suddenly felt a touch of envy, even jealousy.
What a fortunate civilization!
To have the protection of such a powerful existence!
At that moment, the figure in the sky, faintly visible, extended its palm and the scepter plunged into the ground once again transformed into a streak of light and shot through the sky, leaving no words behind, but all the Sky Spirit People present just as mesmerized, looked up in awe.
Until the majestic figure gradually faded away, Siger trembled and broke the silence.
“City Lord, the Council of the Sage’s in Sky Vault City has sent an urgent message, asking what exactly happened here.”
“…”
Ke Yi was silent for a moment, glanced at the empty Undead World, and then at the envoys smiling gently before them.
He finally spoke, “Tell The Sage’s Council they need not come anymore… The Undead have been dealt with.”
It was not until he spoke that Ke Yi realized his own voice was also trembling slightly.
For the nobles of the Sky Spirit People, who held honor in high regard, such behavior was utterly unacceptable. But at this moment, Ke Yi suddenly felt that perhaps none of it was so important anymore.
“We are deeply grateful for the assistance of human civilization.” He took a deep breath, approached Shen Qian, and bowed deeply, “Please forgive our ignorance… and our arrogance.”
This was a gesture placing himself several levels lower, but neither Siger nor any of the other Sky Spirit People felt there was anything amiss.
In fact, most of them were still in a daze.
They had not yet recovered from the scene before.
Who could have imagined that just a moment ago, they had been ready to stand tall and face death, yet the next moment, the enemy that had robbed them of all hope was so easily defeated.
So easily that it seemed like merely a flick of the hand!
“We still come with friendly intentions,” Shen Qian said slowly, smiling, “This is also the will of the President, who has always been watching over both you and me.”
Upon hearing these words, Ke Yi’s expression became serious, his demeanor becoming slightly tense and awkward.
The Sky Spirit People once believed in myths, but had long ceased to believe in Divine beings; they only believed in nature, believing themselves to be miracles born from nature.
But at this moment, Ke Yi, along with everyone present, had begun to regard that towering figure as God!
There was no other identity that could describe that kind of power!
“Please allow us to once again host the envoys,” Ke Yi said earnestly, “with higher standards, to express the highest level of respect!”
…
At this moment, Shen Hao was actually not watching them.
After dealing with the Undead, he had withdrawn his gaze.
After all, if anything came up, Shen Qian and the others would call him.
Now, Shen Hao had already retracted the Emperor’s Scepter.
It had to be said, this first usage was somewhat beyond expectation. Shen Hao had thought he would be able to tear through space directly, but it turned out a bit short; it was more like he’d opened a superluminal channel, which did not allow him to arrive instantly, taking him about twenty seconds.
This would be something to be cautious about in the future.
Twenty seconds could sometimes lead to great trouble.
However, this time was indeed quite thrilling.
Back on the Mother Planet, such a quantity of Undead would never dare gather so densely; they were always scattered.
To Shen Hao, their dense assembly looked almost like a well-prepared feast!
More than eighty percent of the Undead were dealt with by the Dominator’s Suppression attached to the scepter, gaining more points!
The remaining twenty percent were easily handled by the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder.
The damage was maxed out.
At this moment, Shen Hao was looking at the points he had earned.
Normally, a million high-quality Undead should have earned him about five hundred billion points.
But in reality, he had only gained about a hundred and thirty billion.
This confirmed the speculation of Shen Qian and the others—that they could indeed gain points from the Undead on other planets, but at a discounted rate.
“I have a theory,” Shen Hao thought for a moment, his expression becoming slightly serious. “The Undead from other planets might pose a threat to us in the future, so we can still earn points from them.”
If that was the case, the importance placed on other civilizations might have to be raised again!
