HPDBC Chapter 894 Hydra's Spark Project!
Chapter 894 Hydra's Spark Project!
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Xing Lin.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet at this moment they shone with a complex light.
He saw through Xinglin's ambition perfectly.
She wanted to obtain that secret technique and rapidly improve her cultivation like those female war goddesses.
But he does not reject this ambition.
People with ambition have value.
Get up.
He spoke calmly.
Xinglin's body trembled slightly, and a hint of wild joy flashed in her eyes.
"Thank you, my lord!!!"
She kowtowed frantically, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.
She knew that she had taken another step closer to that secret technique.
If she keeps trying, she will definitely be able to obtain that secret technique.
She would never miss the next opportunity.
Absolutely not.
……
On the edge of the battlefield.
As the War King watched this scene, a complex light flashed in his eyes.
He saw it.
He noticed that Xinglin's attitude towards that man was becoming increasingly humble and respectful.
That proud woman actually took the initiative to call herself "your humble servant" and was even willing to do anything for that man.
Everything she did was for the sake of obtaining that secret technique.
The War King clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white.
But he had no other choice.
"well--"
He sighed deeply, a hint of bitterness flashing in his eyes.
"My Lord—"
He stepped forward, his voice carrying a hint of respect.
"Your subordinate is willing to continue serving your lord."
His posture was equally humble.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the kneeling crowd.
The War King, Xing Lin, and the Interstellar War God they brought were all kneeling respectfully at his feet.
Their posture was extremely humble, a stark contrast to their previous arrogance.
Lin Qiye's gaze fell on the War King, his eyes as deep as an abyss.
The War King felt that gaze and his body trembled slightly.
"My lord..."
He raised his head, his eyes flashing with a complex light.
He knew that the young man before him was powerful enough to overturn the entire Hydra constellation.
If he wanted, he could easily take the entire constellation Hydra for himself.
And these so-called strongmen are nothing but ants in his eyes.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate is willing to lead all the soldiers and civilians of Hydra to be forever loyal to the Lord."
His voice carried a hint of determination.
This was his only option.
Lin Qiye remained silent for a moment.
His gaze swept across the vast starry sky.
Hydra is indeed a vast constellation, composed of countless galaxies, containing immeasurable resources and wealth.
More importantly, there are billions of stars here.
Every star is a resource.
If he can expand into this constellation, his strength will surely increase dramatically once again.
"very good."
He spoke calmly.
The War King's body trembled slightly, and a hint of wild joy flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you, my lord!!!"
Xinglin quickly added, "Your Majesty is wise!! All the soldiers and civilians of the Hydra constellation will forever be loyal to Your Majesty!!!"
Jiang Yulan and ten other female war goddesses stood behind Lin Qiye, their eyes gleaming with fanaticism.
They looked at War King and Xinglin with a hint of wariness in their eyes.
Although these people have already expressed their submission, they remain highly vigilant.
These people are all ambitious; who knows if they are truly submissive?
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
"The matter concerning Hydra is temporarily resolved."
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"But I need to find out the origin of this ferocious beast."
Upon hearing this, the War King quickly nodded, "Yes, my lord."
"Based on our previous investigations, this ferocious beast is very likely a product of the gods' breeding."
His voice carried a hint of solemnity.
A thoughtful glint flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"The gods..."
He murmured softly.
"Continue investigating the origins of this ferocious beast. I need to know how it was born and how it came to be in the constellation Hydra."
The War King nodded respectfully: "Yes, my lord. I will make the arrangements immediately."
Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
His gaze swept over Jiang Yulan beside him.
"Yu Lan".
Jiang Yulan immediately stepped forward, her voice filled with respect.
"Please give your orders, Master."
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the distant starry sky.
"Let the sisters rest in shifts to consolidate their cultivation."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of warmth.
"This battle has taken a toll on you; you need to rest and recuperate."
A hint of emotion flashed in Jiang Yulan's eyes.
"Thank you for your care, Master."
She bowed slightly.
This feeling of being cared for warmed her heart.
Ji Changyue, Yao Suyun, and others also stepped forward.
"Thank you for your concern, Master!!!"
Xinglin stood aside, watching this scene, her eyes flashing with a complex light.
She saw it.
She saw the attitude of those female warriors towards Lin Qiye; their loyalty and fanaticism came from the bottom of their hearts.
They followed him not only because of his strength, but also because of his care and kindness.
"Master, I am willing to take charge of the follow-up affairs of the Hydra constellation!"
Jiang Yulan was the first to step forward, her eyes gleaming with fervent light.
Ji Changyue followed closely behind: "Master, your concubine is also willing to share your burdens!"
Yao Suyun, Ying Yuehen, Sun Meiling, and others also spoke up.
"Master, I request to take responsibility for this matter!"
"Master, I am willing to serve you!"
Ten female warriors volunteered in unison, their voices converging into a torrent that echoed through the starry sky.
Their gazes fell on Lin Qiye, their eyes filled with loyalty and expectation.
They wanted to share their master's burdens and take on more responsibility for him.
It is their honor.
Xinglin and the War King exchanged a glance, a complex light flashing in their eyes.
They originally thought they could create an opportunity to contact Lin Qiye through the follow-up affairs of the Water Hydra constellation.
Especially for Xinglin, if she wants to obtain that secret technique, she must establish a closer connection with Lin Qiye.
If she could take charge of the affairs of the Water Hydra constellation, she would have more opportunities to get closer to the Lord.
however--
"My lord, we are much more familiar with Hydra!"
Xinglin spoke quickly, her voice tinged with urgency.
"If there's anything you need, sir, you can simply tell me!"
The War King stepped forward: "My lord, I have been operating in the Serpent constellation for many years and know the situation here very well. If you need me, I am willing to serve you faithfully."
Their posture was humble, their eyes gleaming with expectation.
however--
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet at this moment they gleamed with a sharp light.
He could sense Xinglin and the War King's ambitions.
But he does not reject this ambition.
Only ambitious people have value.
"very good."
He spoke calmly.
A hint of wild joy flashed in Xinglin's and War King's eyes.
They thought Lin Qiye wanted them to be in charge of the Hydra constellation's affairs.
however--
"Jiang Yulan".
Lin Qiye's gaze fell on Jiang Yulan.
Jiang Yulan's body trembled slightly, and she quickly stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I am here!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his voice calm yet exuding an undeniable authority.
"You and the sisters will represent me to discuss in detail the matters that require negotiation and cooperation with the Water Hydra."
A flash of wild joy appeared in Jiang Yulan's eyes.
"Thank you for your trust, Master!!!"
She knelt at Lin Qiye's feet, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.
Ji Changyue, Yao Suyun, and others also stepped forward.
"Thank you for your trust, Master!!!"
They shouted in unison, their voices filled with fervor and loyalty.
Although their master did not hold Xinglin and the War King responsible for the incident, they would never question their master's decision.
The master had his reasons for doing so.
They just need to do their job well.
Xinglin's expression stiffened slightly.
She originally thought she could get close to Lin Qiye through the affairs of the Water Hydra constellation.
Unexpectedly, the Lord sent those ten female war goddesses to engage with her.
This means that her plan to be alone with the Lord has temporarily fallen through.
"well--"
She sighed inwardly.
However, she quickly adjusted her mindset.
The Lord sent the Goddess of War to communicate with her in detail, explaining that specific matters still needed to be handled through her.
At that time, she will have the opportunity to contact the Lord by reporting and making a statement.
Moreover, the fact that the Lord did this shows that he is a cautious person.
They don't easily trust outsiders.
"Our lord is wise."
Xinglin stepped forward, her voice carrying a hint of respect.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to fully cooperate with the work."
Her posture was humble, and her eyes shone with expectation.
The War King quickly added, "My lord, I am also willing to cooperate fully."
His voice carried a complex tone.
Although somewhat disappointed, he understood the man's considerations.
After all, he was a half-step human king level being, possessing extremely high status and power in the Hydra constellation.
The fact that this person asked him to connect with the goddess of war indicates that this person was testing his loyalty.
He had to act respectfully enough to win the man's trust.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet at this moment they gleamed with a sharp light.
He could sense what everyone was thinking.
Jiang Yulan and others wanted to share his burdens and prove their worth.
Xinglin wanted to get close to him and obtain that secret technique.
The War King wanted to maintain his position and continue to rule the constellation Hydra.
These are all natural human feelings.
He doesn't mind giving them away as long as they can be of use to him.
But if they betray him—
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He will show them what true terror is.
"Jiang Yulan".
He spoke again.
Jiang Yulan quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I am here."
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his voice calm yet exuding an undeniable authority.
"You will handle the specific details with them."
His gaze swept over the War King and Xinglin.
"But there's one thing—"
His voice suddenly turned cold.
"If anyone dares to outwardly comply but inwardly defy me, and betray me—"
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body!
That aura was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, a hundred times more terrifying than anything the War King had ever seen!
The War King's face instantly turned ashen.
His body trembled slightly under the pressure of that aura.
Xinglin's expression also changed.
She felt it!!!
That aura contained a world-destroying power!
Enough to annihilate any traitor, body and soul!
"My Lord, spare me!!!"
The two knelt down almost simultaneously, their voices tinged with fear.
Jiang Yulan and the others watched this scene quietly, their eyes showing no emotion.
Their gazes fell on Lin Qiye's back as he stood with his hands behind his back, their eyes gleaming with fervent light.
This is their master.
Powerful, domineering, and unfathomable.
No matter what kind of enemy or traitor they face, they are all like ants before their master.
Get up.
Lin Qiye regained his composure, his voice calm.
War King and Xinglin slowly stood up, their bodies still trembling slightly.
They knew that just moments before, they had been one step away from death.
If the Lord wants to kill them, they have no chance of survival.
"Your subordinate would never dare to betray your lord!!!"
The War King's voice trembled slightly.
"Your Majesty, I would never dare to betray you!!!"
Xinglin's voice also trembled slightly.
Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
His gaze swept over Jiang Yulan and the others.
"Go."
"Yes, Master!!!"
Jiang Yulan and the others responded in unison, then turned to look at the War King and Xinglin.
"Let's go, let's go and discuss the details."
Jiang Yulan's voice carried a hint of authority.
War King and Xinglin exchanged a glance and nodded quickly.
"Yes, Lord Jiang Yulan."
……
In the core area of Hydra, there is a huge palace suspended in the void.
In the highest conference room.
Jiang Yulan and ten other female war goddesses sat upright on the right. Their auras were restrained, yet they possessed an imposing presence without being angry.
Meanwhile, the highest leadership of the Hydra constellation, led by War King and Xinglin, sat on the left, their posture as respectful as subordinates reporting to their superiors.
The War King sat at the very front, his back ramrod straight, his face devoid of the arrogance he once possessed as the ruler of the entire Hydra constellation, displaying only respect and obedience.
Xinglin sat beside him, her gaze occasionally sweeping over Jiang Yulan and the others, her eyes flashing with a complex light.
The other high-ranking leaders of the Hydra constellation also lowered their heads, not daring to meet Jiang Yulan's gaze.
They could sense that although the aura emanating from those ten women was deliberately concealed, it was still powerful enough to make one's heart tremble.
Each and every one of them is a god-like figure in interstellar warfare!
Moreover, their aura was extremely similar to that man's!
Thinking of this, their awe of Jiang Yulan and the others deepened even further.
"Let me tell you the specifics about Hydra."
Jiang Yulan's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
The War King nodded hurriedly, his posture extremely respectful.
"Yes, Lord Jiang Yulan."
He took a deep breath and began to explain the specifics of Hydra.
"Hydrus is a large constellation in the Milky Way galaxy."
The War King's voice carried a hint of awe.
"The entire Hydra constellation is composed of billions of galaxies, and each star contains immeasurable resources and wealth."
His gaze swept over Jiang Yulan and the others, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
"These resources and wealth are enough to support the cultivation of countless martial artists, making it one of the most prosperous regions in the entire Milky Way."
Jiang Yulan nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
The War King took a deep breath and continued, "Among billions of star systems, the main star region is the core area of the entire Hydra constellation, containing tens of thousands of core star systems."
"Tens of thousands of core galaxies..."
The ten female warriors secretly thought to themselves, "This is similar to Taurus..."
Ji Changyue's gaze swept over the War King, her voice indifferent.
What is the highest level of military deployment in these core star systems?
The War King's body trembled slightly.
He could sense the pressure in Ji Changyue's words.
"Report to your lord..."
His voice carried a hint of respect.
"The main star sector has a total of 178 interstellar warriors."
"Nearly two hundred interstellar war god-level warriors?"
A sharp glint flashed in Yao Suyun's eyes.
"How many of them reached the pinnacle of interstellar war god status?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across the War King's face.
"Reporting back to you, my lord... Currently, I am the only warrior in the entire Hydra constellation who has reached the peak of the Interstellar War God realm."
His voice carried a hint of bitterness.
Jiang Yulan and the others exchanged glances, a knowing look flashing in their eyes.
They finally understood why Hydra had been so helpless when facing that celestial beast.
Two hundred interstellar war god-level warriors may seem like a lot, but almost none of them could actually contend with that ferocious beast.
Even now, the thought of that ferocious beast still sends shivers down their spines.
If it weren't for its owner, probably no one could have destroyed it.
"War King"
Jiang Yulan spoke.
The War King quickly bowed his head: "Yes."
"You previously said that you were willing to integrate the management structure and let the Lord have complete control over Hydra."
Jiang Yulan's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
A complex light flashed in the War King's eyes.
He took a deep breath and began to explain his plan.
"In my opinion, the governing body of the Water Hydra constellation can be divided into three levels."
The War King's voice carried a hint of respect.
"The first level is the core decision-making level, which is personally led by the Lord and is responsible for formulating the development strategy of the entire Hydra constellation."
"The second level is the executive management, which is headed by trusted confidants appointed by the Lord and is responsible for carrying out the Lord's decisions."
"The third level is the local administrative level, which is responsible for the existing local officials and manages the daily affairs of each star system."
He paused, then continued, "As for myself and the other existing senior leaders, we are willing to step down to the second line and serve our lord."
A hint of amusement flashed in Jiang Yulan's eyes.
"You've thought of everything."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across the War King's face.
"I dare not deceive you, sir."
His voice carried a hint of sincerity.
"Before that great one, I am but an ant."
He raised his head and his gaze fell on Jiang Yulan.
He knew full well that with his own strength, he was no match for that great man.
Rather than resisting stubbornly, it's better to surrender willingly; at least you can save your life.
Perhaps, because of my understanding, that person might even retain some power for me!
Jiang Yulan looked at him quietly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
She could sense that while there was some calculation in the War King's words, most of them were sincere.
This man is indeed a smart man. He knows how to assess the situation and when to advance and when to retreat.
"very good."
Jiang Yulan spoke calmly.
"Since you have this awareness, the Lord will naturally not treat you unfairly."
Xinglin sat to the side, watching this scene, a complex light flashing in her eyes.
She could sense that the War King's attitude had completely changed.
That once high and mighty half-step human king has now become so humble and subservient.
This man is indeed a ruthless and ambitious figure.
Knowing when to be pragmatic and when to back down.
But she's not bad either.
She took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"Lord Jiang Yulan."
Her voice carried a hint of respect.
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to serve you."
Jiang Yulan's gaze fell on her, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
She could sense the calculation in Xinglin's words.
This woman had been scheming from the very beginning about how to get close to the Lord.
Her ambitions are greater than those of the War King.
But she didn't expose it.
Because she knew that in front of her master, these people's schemes were utterly insignificant.
He can deal with these unruly people whenever he wants.
"very good."
Jiang Yulan spoke calmly.
"It's good that you all have this awareness... but..."
Jiang Yulan stood up and glanced at everyone.
Her voice was calm, yet it put an invisible pressure on everyone present.
The expressions of War King, Xing Lin, and the other members of the highest leadership changed slightly.
Isn't being this humble enough?
Is this what that person meant?
Or does it mean the ten women in front of you?
A sense of unease welled up in their hearts, but they dared not ask any questions. They could only respectfully lower their heads and wait for what was to come.
Jiang Yulan stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze fixed on the War King.
"King of War."
"exist!"
The War King immediately responded, his posture extremely respectful.
Jiang Yulan spoke calmly, "You're right. Master does indeed need a core decision-making body to control the entire Serpent Constellation."
A glimmer of hope flashed in the War King's eyes.
however--
"but."
Jiang Yulan changed the subject.
"The master doesn't need you to step down to the sidelines."
The War King was stunned for a moment.
Xinglin was also stunned.
The top leadership members looked at each other, completely bewildered.
What does this mean?
Shouldn't we prevent them from stepping down to the second line?
That means they can retain their previous power?
Is there really such a good thing?
Just as everyone was wondering, Jiang Yulan continued:
"War King, Xinglin, and other high-ranking leaders, your positions remain unchanged."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room was stunned.
They stared blankly at Jiang Yulan, their eyes filled with disbelief.
How...how is this possible?
That person doesn't intend to replace them?
They actually let them continue to manage the entire Hydra constellation?
This is just too... too unbelievable, isn't it?
A complex light flickered in the War King's eyes.
Jiang Yulan nodded slightly.
"You are able to keep your positions not because you are valuable."
Her gaze swept over the crowd, her voice icy.
"It is because our master is merciful and willing to give you a chance to serve."
"If you cherish this opportunity, do your job well and don't let your master down."
War King, Xinglin, and the others all lowered their heads.
"Yes, sir!"
"Your subordinate will never let that lord down!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"
Jiang Yulan looked at their humble posture, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
"very good."
She turned around, her gaze sweeping over Ji Changyue, Yao Suyun, and the others beside her.
"In that case, let's get down to business."
"Spark Program."
Xinglin was stunned for a moment.
"The Spark Program?"
A look of doubt flickered in her eyes.
"What is that?"
The War King frowned as well.
"My lords, this plan is..."
Ji Changyue's voice was calm yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Project Spark is a strategic plan personally devised by the master."
Her gaze swept over the crowd.
"Simply put, it boils down to two words—bloodline."
