Chapter 741: Personal Power

Of course Gu Hang did not deceive the Prime Minister.

It would be really stupid to lie about such a thing. Qi Bodu had plenty of ways to verify whether what Gu Hang said was true or false.

The Psychic Order does have this technique of "Sixth Rejuvenation Surgery".

However, the reason why it has not been widely popularized is that it is too difficult.

Rejuvenation surgery can extend a person's lifespan up to five times. Each time, it can extend lifespan by 60 to 100 years. Adding to the normal lifespan of humans, if the rejuvenation surgery is performed to the maximum, it is not a problem for a human noble to live to to years old.

But that's the limit.

Any further and the rejuvenation surgery will inevitably fail.

Mortals have limits.

The power of psychic energy can help mortals break through this limit.

However, this is a theoretical study. It is said that when the chancellor of the empire was still alive, he was able to personally perform this extremely difficult sixth rejuvenation with supreme power second only to that of the emperor.

However, no one has been able to achieve a similar effect since him.

A technology that has had no successful cases for ten thousand years has just been sealed up.

But who can blame the emergence of another Gu Hang in this era?

Gu Hang can try to do things that ordinary S+ level psychics cannot do.

Does Qi Bo Du care?

He cares so much!
He is about to undergo his fifth rejuvenation surgery.

Although the lifespan can be as short as 60 to 70 years or as long as 100 years, it still has a limit.

Is he willing? He has been the Prime Minister of the Empire for more than 60 years. In the past 30 years, he has gotten rid of the Sun Lord who once stood above him and has become the de facto first minister. Moreover, he is still moving towards truly holding power alone. His goal is to bring the Inquisition, Space Marines, State Religion, Mechanicus... into his hands.

How could a lifespan of a few decades, or at most a hundred years, be enough for him to accomplish such a grand undertaking?

Even if he really accomplished it, how could the remaining life span be enough for him to enjoy a glorious life in the future?

He felt sad when he thought that everyone would eventually die.

Now, although what Gu Hang brought him was not the eternal life he most desired, at least the sixth rejuvenation operation could allow him to live another hundred years!

The temptation is greater than anything else!
In the second half of the conversation, nothing else mattered, and the two of them talked about this matter for a long, long time.

Mainly, Qi Bodu was asking questions and Gu Hang was answering them.

It wasn't until the very end that they talked about the Alliance Plan.

Qi Bodu did not object anymore.

……

Gu Hang was relatively satisfied with the various activities during this visit to Holy Terra.

There were difficulties and twists and turns. The Prime Minister's malice, the Psychic Order's affairs, and even the warning from the Assassin's Court before he came. Until now, it has not been clear who assigned the Assassin's Court to do this.

Gu Hang also tried to meet with the Grand Master of the Assassin's Court, Clement, but he still refused to see him.

This problem will always be a thorn unless it is solved.

Gu Hang always had some respect for the Assassin's Court. Their conventional methods were already quite scary. Gu Hang's life would not be threatened by such an assassination, but that was just a conventional method.

The Assassin's Court has been passed down for thousands of years, and once even had a record of successfully assassinating the corrupt Son of God. Taking out these hidden means, it is possible that they can really harm him.

Especially in Holy Terra, this is not your territory.

Gu Hang believes that he should be very strong now.

But he shouldn’t have reached the level of the Son of God yet…right?

He wasn't sure.

He was only certain that he had long since left the realm of psychics.

Psychics, using psychic energy, is essentially just a 'loophole' that connects the subspace and the real universe, and draws psychic energy from themselves. As for the many changes, techniques, and even whether they are powerful or not, it is indeed up to the psychic themselves, but it cannot change their essence.

This is true whether it is the lowest level or the so-called A-level or S-level.

Even when it reached the Alpha level, which was beyond human control, the essence did not change. It was simply that too much subspace energy was gushing out, making it impossible for the most talented people to control it even if they had learned the best techniques. They were eventually twisted into monsters, and sadly became the channel connecting the subspace and reality.

But Gu Hang is not like that.

He could no longer be considered a psyker.

That was many, many years ago, when he had not yet left the Angry Owl Star, he swallowed up the original Angry Owl, occupied its kingdom of God, and used it for his own purposes.

At that time, the original Angry Owl was said to be a lesser god of the warp, but from today's perspective, it was not something that was too difficult to deal with.

At least, they are not on the same level as the various monsters that Gu Hang encounters later.

But the help it provided to Gu Hang was great.

Later, Gu Hang traveled across the star sea for thirty or forty years and passed through so many worlds. It turned out that things like the original angry owl, the sub-space lesser gods that were born on a planet, were so rare. In thousands of worlds, Gu Hang only encountered two, and in terms of strength and specifications, they were far from the level of lesser gods, and could only be considered a prototype.

Of course, everything Gu Hang encountered ended up in his stomach.

Coming back to his senses, Gu Hang realized belatedly that the Angry Owl Star was a very special existence.

It was originally very special, the veil between the Wrathful Owl and the Subspace was very thin. That brought rich rewards to the Wrathful Owl very early on, and high-level energy mines such as the Spiritual Gas Field were not found everywhere; but it also brought it a deep disaster, and the Subspace Demon Invasion that almost destroyed the entire world was caused by this.

Only in such an environment can a simple person on a planet, with his love for a certain animal, shape the prototype of the concept of a lesser god in the subspace.

But the more critical point lies in the upgrade option of Gu Hang’s personal panel in the system inherited by him.

Without it, even if a powerful psychic could blast the embryonic form of a lesser god like the Primal Wrathful Owl into pieces, how could he inherit its kingdom of God?
impossible.

That is not something that humans can do. After having this kingdom of God, Gu Hang truly ushered in a qualitative change.

The so-called qualitative change does not mean that his psychic power has an explosive growth - indeed, there is. He has become stronger and can even tear open the curtain of reality, allowing the Storm Kingdom to come briefly and controllably, thus providing Gu Hang with extremely powerful psychic power blessing.

But these are just application methods and are just small tricks.

The fundamental change is that Gu Hang possesses a subspace essence.

This is the fundamental change.

With this subspace essence - the direct manifestation of which is his Storm Kingdom - in the future, when he encounters some great demon, other prototypes of lesser gods, neuron worms... monsters of similar levels, what Gu Hang can do is not only defeat them and destroy them, but he has a more crucial step: devour them.

Devouring the essence of the Warp they represent.

Among them, the biggest gain came from the Queen of Zerg who died when Reyaduches was completely destroyed by the "Earth-Exploding Planet Destroyer" after the victory of the last war.

Until now, Gu Hang had to admit that the Zerg was indeed a very outrageous race. They were certainly not the natives of the Warp, and even their nature had nothing to do with the Warp at all.

They were huge in number, without thoughts or emotions, only the instinct to devour. Even the high-level insects showed the ability to think, but that was something that evolved specifically according to demand.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

To them, the brain is no different from other organs. As long as there is a need for battle, they can evolve some of them in the next batch of organisms and place them on the node organisms.

The Zerg would learn from their combat experience and evolve in a targeted manner, from their weapons and equipment to their tactical thinking. This was a piece of information that the Empire's researchers were quite certain of.

However, this kind of evolution, being able to evolve into psychic power, is already a bit terrifying; they can actually analyze things like the 'essence of the subspace' from countless wars, and evolve it in order to produce more powerful psychic units!
This is simply horrifying.

Aliens like the Void Zerg...are absolutely the greatest enemies in the universe, and can even be considered one of the most terrifying enemies.

Their existence is quite terrifying.

As for the Queen Worm, in order to fight against this top psychic, it spent an unknown price. Not only did it evolve many neuron worms, but it also evolved its own subspace essence in order to be able to hatch neuron worms and even to fight against itself directly.

What it possesses is even a level higher than the neuron worm!
This mouthful of nourishment really made Gu Hang feel extremely refreshed.

But these supplements obtained through swallowing are still only secondary.

For Gu Hang, the more important growth channel actually comes from the alliance itself.

As the alliance's actual control area continued to expand, Gu Hang's image as the leader of the alliance inevitably became popular throughout the alliance, and the power of the Storm Kingdom was naturally enhanced.

People's feelings towards him are not religious beliefs, but love, trust, loyalty... After these emotions gradually take root in the hearts of millions of people, the effect they produce is no weaker than traditional religious beliefs.

This is his biggest base. His Storm Kingdom has also grown greatly with the growth of the alliance.

Moreover, there is a new path recently. As his personal image has been widely spread in Holy Terra and even in the entire Solar Star Region, after being loved, this place will provide him with some new power.

It's an unexpected surprise.

At this point, he could vaguely sense and realize why the Emperor was so powerful? Why in the warp, His golden kingdom was so dazzling and ostentatious, but the four greatest evil gods in the warp did not dare to face it?

I only have the trust of the entire alliance, but the emperor has the trust of the entire empire, which includes trillions of people.

Even further, Gu Hang could even speculate the origin of the four ancient evil gods.

But this is quite far-fetched and there is no point in speculating on it.

Back to the present, Gu Hang himself actually didn’t know how to define his own power?

It’s hard to say.

But at least, people like Martins and Salilius, who were a step above the chapter champions and could almost be called top warriors chosen by the Emperor, were nothing more than stubborn stones in his hands - it would take a little more effort, but Gu Hang had a hammer in his hand, and he could still smash them into pieces after a few more hits and his hands became numb.

More importantly, since they are hard stones, there is almost no need to worry about them being able to hurt themselves.

The top warriors are able to suppress the power of the warp, cut through spells with their fervent blades, close the distance in an instant, and kill psychics or even gods with their swords.

But that only applies to people at the same level.

Gu Hang is no longer on the same level as them.

As for the evil god’s big demon… I can only say that if the big demon in the world is at the level of the Great Unclean One - Gowaja, he can kill a bunch of them by himself now.

The so-called sons of the Emperor, the sons of God whom the Space Marines called their father, those figures in Imperial mythology, the former legion leaders... Gu Hang could not make a comparison due to the lack of observation samples.

However, if you think positively, maybe you have already reached this level.

It's just a matter of whether one is considered strong or weak at this level.

After possessing such strength, he actually had the idea of ​​going out into the subspace to hunt down various great demons and lesser evil gods to enrich himself.

However, it is just a thought at the moment.

He did not forget that his Storm Kingdom was protected by the Golden Kingdom. If he casually showed up, left the protection, and entered the chaotic real subspace waves, he would be easily targeted by those four terrible things. Gu Hang still did not dare to provoke them.

When I first acquired the Kingdom of Storm God, I was worried that if I went too far down this path, I would lose my human nature...

Now, there is no need to think about this problem anymore.

He has gone very deep.

Along the way, he couldn't give up this power. Without this power, he would have been unable to overcome many difficulties.

In this case, he could only hope that this road would not be a dead end.

No matter what, he had to keep going.

Devouring other great beings and plundering to replenish the essence of the subspace is ultimately a secondary means of supplementation. Building a more powerful alliance is the real way forward.

Now that Qi Bodu has been dealt with, the rest will no longer be a problem.

Gu Hang then found Luo Fei.

The Prime Minister of the Executive Yuan, who is ostensibly the biggest obstacle to the advancement of the Alliance Plan, has no ability to resist under the current circumstances.
