Chapter 2120 - 1628: Inheritance

After a long time, Su Mo lifted the old man and walked outside.

The creator·Swallower followed closely behind.

Outside the storage vault.

Attic, Adomo, Kathuler and others were quietly waiting.

"To be honest, Coret deserved what he got, but some of his words aren’t completely without reason."

Attic muttered to himself.

"If you have opinions, speak to the lord face to face, don’t insinuate behind his back."

Kathuler replied irritably.

"Hmph."

Seeing this, Attic said nothing more.

At that moment, Su Mo came out carrying the corpse of the old man, and the instant Kathuler and others saw this.

A trace of panic appeared on everyone’s faces, and they rushed forward, shouting.

"Lord!"

When they gathered around Su Mo and touched the body, they turned angrily to Su Mo.

"What happened!"

"What’s wrong with the lord?"

...

Su Mo grew more silent, and after a long while spoke wearily, "Master’s life has run its course; it’s at an end."

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Kathuler and the others’ angry and agitated expressions gradually calmed down.

For a moment, the entrance was exceptionally quiet.

After a long time, Kathuler glanced at the gemstone ring on Su Mo’s hand and asked, "Su Mo, just answer one question, truthfully, absolutely no lies, or you’ll face misfortune."

"Ask, I’ll answer you truthfully."

Su Mo replied hoarsely.

"Did the lord leave any last words."

Kathuler pressed on, staring firmly into Su Mo’s eyes.

Attic and Adomo also raised their heads to look at Su Mo at Kathuler’s words.

"Master instructed me on two things before his passing."

Su Mo replied solemnly.

"What things?"

Kathuler and the others immediately pursued.

"One was to inherit the position of Emperor of the Black Light Empire, the other was to lead you all to continue."

Su Mo replied hoarsely.

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Kathuler and the others’ expressions grew increasingly complex; in fact, they had guessed as much upon seeing the gemstone ring on Su Mo’s hand.

At this time, Anason, who had been silent, knelt down on one knee and spoke to Su Mo.

"Lord Su Mo, from this day on you are the new ruler of the Black Light Empire. I, Anason, solemnly pledge to follow you!"

A large group behind Anason followed suit, kneeling and swearing allegiance.

"Willing to follow the Emperor!"

Su Mo found himself deeply moved.

However, Attic and Adomo’s expressions continued to change; they seemed reluctant.

At this point, Kathuler turned to Attic and Adomo and said.

"You’ve heard Su Mo’s words, and seen the ring on Su Mo’s hand. Moreover, the lord’s previous attitude was clear, he wished to pass everything onto Su Mo. Are you going to defy the lord’s will?"

Kathuler spoke bluntly.

"What do you mean, Kathuler?"

Attic and Adomo looked at Kathuler.

Kathuler ignored them, kneeled before Su Mo on one knee, placed his right hand on his chest, and formally swore allegiance.

"I, Kathuler, formally swear allegiance to Emperor Su Mo!"

Seeing this, Attic and Adomo also took a deep breath, ultimately bracing themselves to kneel on one knee.

"I, Attic, formally swear allegiance to Emperor Su Mo!"

"I, Adomo, formally swear allegiance to Emperor Su Mo!"

At that moment, almost everyone in the corridor knelt on one knee.

Sun Duoxiang and others standing in a corner were dumbfounded, their minds unable to process it all.

Su Mo observed the scene and said solemnly, "Well then, I, Su Mo, promise here that as long as you remain loyal, I will never betray you!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

....

Kathuler and others called out loudly.

"Rise!"

Su Mo said solemnly.

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Kathuler and the others stood up.

Su Mo turned to Anason and asked, "Butler Anason, how should we handle my master’s remains, did he ever mention it?"

"Yes, the lord had arranged for his own affairs."

Anason replied calmly.

"Tell me."

Su Mo asked.

"He wished that one day his body could return to the Positive Universe, to be placed on an inconspicuous planet there."

Anason said respectfully.

"Alright, arrange for an ice coffin, freeze my master’s body, and when the day comes that we can head to the Positive Universe, we will bury him there."

Su Mo responded solemnly.

"Yes!"

Anason replied respectfully.

More than an hour later, Su Mo and others gathered in the ice room of the planetary fortress.

They personally placed the old man inside the ice coffin and sealed it.

Su Mo, leading the group, bowed one last time to the old man’s remains.

This roughly handled the situation.

As for the formal ceremony, it would probably have to wait until one day they could head to the Positive Universe and hold it during the burial.

"Lord, what should we do next?"

Kathuler asked at this moment.

Su Mo pondered for a while, then spoke, "Come with me."

"Alright."

The crowd replied in unison.

Soon, Su Mo led them back to the entrance of the storage vault.

At this moment, Kathuler and others reacted instinctively, looking at Su Mo with a bit of disbelief.

"Lord, you’re taking us inside?"

"That’s right, everyone’s family now, no need to hide anything, follow me inside."

Su Mo waved his hand and walked straight in.

Kathuler and others hesitated but followed promptly.

Soon they found themselves in the secret hangar, standing before the special Star Destroyer.

Kathuler and the others stared at the Star Destroyer, too astonished to speak, somehow feeling a strange affection for the vessel.

But they can’t recall what type of ship it is.

"Lord, what kind of ship is this?"

Kathuler asked.

"I don’t know either, but we’ll find out once we’re inside. Let’s go to the entry point."

Su Mo looked at the ship with mixed emotions, then led the group toward the entry point.

At this point, creator·Swallower infiltrated Su Mo’s body directly.

Moments later, Su Mo and the others arrived at the ship’s bow entry point, staring at the closed door with no idea how to proceed.

But creator·Swallower directly said, "Put your hand on it, use your authority to open it!"

"Will that work?"

"Yes, this ship belongs to the Black Light Empire. Though the Divine Race’s authority can be used, the Black Light Empire royal authority can too, and in a certain sense, has a higher hidden authority level."

Su Mo placed his hand on the door.

Sure enough, the entry point door automatically recognized Su Mo’s identity.

Clack!

The entry point opened straight away.

"Let’s go!"

Su Mo led the group inside.

"Head to the central control to activate the ship and seize total control."

creator·Swallower’s voice came, even sounding a bit excited.
