Chapter 1390: Chapter 524: Chosen One Sequence_3

That wasn’t even the end of it. According to the public report of the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Fourth-Class Mother Empress who died at the hands of Earl Red Blade’s army was very likely the very culprit who had developed the ultra-strong Invisibility camouflage technology and directly triggered that catastrophic defeat the Empire suffered over a hundred years ago.

Earl Red Blade had, from afar, avenged the blood-debt of countless trillions of fallen soldiers and numerous nobles.

Even more astonishing, many nobles of the Empire knew full well what kind of person Nanxiang Marquis Liu An was, yet this upstart Earl with such shallow foundations actually managed to bring his Colonization Fleet across a vast distance, arriving safely at the Nanxiang Star Cluster with not a scratch on him, and even forced Liu An to pinch his nose and accept this newly arrived Earl neighbor.

Right after that, Earl Red Blade lay low for ten years, then pulled another wild stroke of ingenuity, transforming a fundamentally uninhabitable disk-shaped planet of ice and fire at the two poles into a perfectly spherical planet of peak habitability, at extremely low cost and extremely high efficiency.

Still not done, after finishing the planetary transformation and lying low for a short while again, this Earl Red Blade actually fully deciphered the genetic information in the Fourth-Class Mother Empress’s Giant Reproductive Cells and produced a low-cost modification coating that could comprehensively enhance a fleet’s Invisibility.

Earl Red Blade’s very being was practically written all over with the color of legend, leaving people nothing but stunned.

Benefiting from the many story-like halos surrounding Ren Zhong, quite a few bored-out-of-their-minds nobles of the Empire simply put aside their trivial tasks and carefully pored over this insubordinate patent lawsuit from beginning to end, and then used it as a talking point over tea and meals to compare notes with one another.

No one knew who it was that first tossed out a shocking opinion on the information-flow internet.

They claimed Earl Red Blade seemed to bear the bearing of a Chosen One.

This man had both luck and strength, and seemed as if he inherited the Mandate of Heaven from above and won people’s hearts below.

Otherwise, it was really hard to explain how someone from the very bottom of the colonist class could, in such a short time, overcome one difficulty after another and also gain the deep love of an entire planetary species, driving them to keep staking their lives for him.

Of course, some people felt that talking about a Chosen One at this point was still too early.

After all, from his debut until now, Earl Red Blade’s true battle record against the enemies of the Mechanical Empire was just a single measly Fourth-Class Mother Empress.

It was indeed a case of the weak defeating the strong, but it still didn’t prove much.

In the past, when the Empire’s various Chosen Ones emerged, each of them either left monumental military achievements on the front lines, or pushed forward an entire branch of technology in the Empire’s rear, or transformed a vast Star Domain from a backward backwater into a booming, militarily powerful, prosperous Star Zone in short order, all making earth-shaking contributions to the Empire.

By comparison, Earl Red Blade was still far from that level.

But others argued that ever since that great rout back then, in recent years the Empire had repeatedly fallen into disadvantage in its confrontations with the three great races, and the situation was already on the brink of collapse. According to past patterns, this was precisely the moment when the consciousness of the universe would once again look favorably upon the Mechanical Empire, this human Source race, and it was about time to grant the Mechanical Empire a Chosen One and let him step forward to turn the tide at the brink.

Regardless of how fierce the outside debate was, the moment the concept of a Chosen One appeared, it immediately pushed the heat of the incident up yet another notch.

The explosive public attention even gave Liu An, the original instigator of this whole affair, a nasty fright.

He felt a vague twinge of regret in his heart.

He had already overestimated Ren Zhong’s capabilities, yet from start to finish he had never considered the Chosen One angle; he had truly miscalculated.

Afterward, Liu An activated the capabilities of the Special Service Bureau to investigate who exactly had been the first to toss out the Chosen One concept on the interstellar network.

One look, and Liu An could only grit his teeth in fury.

It was none other than Wen Yuanbo, the Royal Family Viscount who had been deeply bound to Ren Zhong from a very early stage.

"Damn!"

Liu An ground his teeth in hatred, yet there was nothing he could do.

Although he had used his title and official advantages in the Nanxiang Star Cluster to press Wen Yuanbo so hard he could barely breathe, forcing him to shrink back into the Observatory and making it difficult for him to put down roots and develop in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse; Wen Yuanbo bore the blood of the Royal Family, and even if it was from a collateral branch, he was still Royal Family.

At most, Liu An could accuse and suppress the other side here and there, but he absolutely did not dare act rashly to take Wen Yuanbo’s life.

Just as the outside world was endlessly debating this lawsuit and all parties involved were quietly scheming in their own ways, a court summons bearing the joint signatures of the Empire’s Minister of Commerce and the Empire’s Chief Minister of Justice finally arrived at the administrative office of Red Blade Star via the information-flow network.

An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws sooner or later; whether it’s a donkey or a horse, you have to take it out for a run.

This court session had to be held.
