Chapter 1449: Chapter 547: Dramatic Turn of Events

The war between the Mechanical Empire and the three major enemy nations has stretched over millions of years, with battle lines twisting and turning within the Ancient Disk Galaxy, measured in tens of thousands of light years.

Trillions of people have already died in this grand and seemingly never-ending war.

The four human branches have also developed their own civilizational styles over years of conflict, such as the Mechanical Empire’s colossal structures, the Sublimators’ gigantic Mother Empress Ships and super reproductive capabilities, the Pilgrims’ intelligent machinery-wise men, and the Spirit Demon Race’s extensive telekinesis.

The development paths of these technologies and personal abilities each have their own characteristics, showing significant differences with enormous barriers between them.

For example, the Mechanical Empire entirely lacks Constant Star Level and Planet Level individual combat forces.

Is it that the Empire does not want Super Soldiers?

Of course not, it’s purely because it’s impossible. At least within the Ancient Disk Galaxy, affected by the fundamental cosmic rules of this starry sky, carbon-based life will always have insurmountable barriers. Even though the Empire has used technological means to barely transform the original humans with technologies such as Armored Soldiers, Empire Super Network, Telekinesis Masters, etc., these technology paths imitated later by the Empire Super Network have flaws compared to the Sublimators, which have accumulated natural evolution experience for millions of years, Pilgrims with virtualized thinking abilities, and Spirit Demon Race naturally able to communicate with the underlying information flow. They are not extreme enough and far less effective.

Furthermore, the Empire’s gap in expertise compared to the enemy nations has not decreased over time; on the contrary, it has gotten larger.

This is reasonable.

After all, how can the core technologies that others have completed over millions of years of knowledge sedimentation and gradual progress be easily learned?

If a great person does not fall from the sky with the power to change the foundational rules of the world, the barriers between these different paths will only grow stronger over time.

Even if there occasionally emerges a remarkably talented emperor among the Imperial Emperors or a Chosen One comes forward to reverse the situation, it’s only treating the symptoms, not the cause.

Whether it’s the temporary reforms brought by an emperor of excellence or a Chosen One, they always remain superficial, or are confined to a certain domain, failing to fundamentally change the world or to truly leverage the advantages of the original humans like the Empire’s humans can. Of course, the humans of the Empire do not actually know where their true advantage lies.

But now, Ren Zhong has appeared in a different form.

In his publicly available battle records, it is clearly shown how he, with the strength of a single person, completely turned around a war destined to be lost, with the enemy’s strength being ten times that of his own.

Many professional military researchers in the Empire Military Department, who had already developed some understanding of his combat ability, were dumbfounded.

They had long known that Earl Red Blade’s combat ability was extremely strong, but they never expected it to be this strong.

Whether it’s conventional on-the-spot decision-making, fine-tuned divided operation of medium and small boats, complete consciousness upload and subsequent diversification, entering cryogenic sleep to avoid excessive acceleration during combat, intuition-based guiding of uncontrollable short-range jumps, or foreseeing this battle decades in advance and having his affiliated forces launch weapons early, then controlling the battlefield, covertly guiding it to the target location, and then accurately annihilating the enemy at the right time, forcing the enemy to disperse and retreat, only to fall into a firepower trap, all clearly point to one thing. Earl Red Blade, Ren Zhong, is at least the greatest military strategist in the Empire over the past million years, or at least one of them, and indeed the strongest individual born from the human race in the Ancient Disk Galaxy that has proliferated for millions of years.

Now, Ren Zhong’s image as the "Chosen One" has become increasingly solid.

Just two steps away, he can transform from the candidate for the Chosen One in public perception to the true Chosen One.

The two steps are as follows: First, participate in the four-nation war and achieve enormous battle merits that cannot be replicated; second, step into the Imperial Palace, meet with the contemporary Emperor, then be officially crowned as the Chosen One and obtain at least a hereditary Grand Duke title or even higher.

Under the impact of the aforementioned information, Earl Red Blade’s last revelation about his personal gathering and sheltering of the Shattered Star Ring Pirates, taking in these undocumented people as his personal vassals, also seemed less conspicuous.
