Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1557: Chapter 884:

Gu Jing stood up, his gaze sweeping across the statue of the Son of God, and he stepped on the white snow beneath him, taking a deep breath.

Although throughout the entire process earlier, he appeared confident and composed. But in reality, how could he not be a bit nervous?

Luckily, up to this point, everything has turned out quite well.

From the Black Cross Army to the Grey Knights and these Interstellar Warriors; or the Tribunal, Protection Army, these relatively ordinary troops have certainly suffered casualties, but overall, it’s still within an acceptable range.

Turning his gaze to Meifenier and the Great Sage Kao’er, Gu Jing said, “I’ve accomplished the request you put forward to me. Now, most people have safely reached Super Sea Star. It’s time for you to fulfill the reasons you used to persuade me earlier.”

What he’s referring to, of course, is resurrecting the Son of God, Robert.

“Of course, this was our goal all along,” Meifenier said, “Our current position should be near the North Pole of Super Sea Star. The next step is to find the base of the Infinite Warriors, make contact with them, and earn their trust…”

As he spoke, Gu Jing lifted his head and looked into the distance.

“No need to search, they’re here.”

…

When Gu Hang’s group successfully arrived at Super Sea Star, his consciousness inside the Storm God Kingdom smiled and raised his head: “You see, I have learned the rules of the game. This time, I fully adhered to the rules, and I won.”

“Stick to the rules, you should withdraw.”

A scream echoed outside Gu Hang’s Divine Realm.

The Dark Prince was quite displeased and frustrated.

But so what?

This time, he indeed lost.

What a pity.

The value of those prey is very high, especially that small but elite team from the Spirit Race, along with the leaders Meifenier and Airelian, whom she yearned to acquire.

But… a loss is a loss.

No matter how unwilling, this round must end.

However, it doesn’t matter.

They still have a nearly eternal time, to play slowly, play well, and don’t care at all about winning or losing this round.

After Slaanesh’s screams gradually faded away, Gu Hang heard the furious roars of the Terror Demon.

Now it’s easier for him to hear those kinds of sounds than before.

It seems that another ’game’ between the two biggest rivals, Slaanesh and Terror Demon, has begun.

Confirming those guys have gone away, Gu Hang sighed helplessly.

The confrontation between the Evil Gods in Subspace is called the ’Great Game.’

It’s sheer nonsense!

Gu Hang doesn’t want to play these so-called games at all, nor does he think these ’games’ are great.

But he has no choice but to play.

The more powerful he has become, the less free he feels.

Over long ages, the gods regard everything as pawns in a game, and he feels he’s been forced to join them.

However, he quickly understood it all.

Why was he free in the past?

It was because he was too weak, far from the truth of the real universe, seeming ’free’ to do whatever he wanted.

More importantly, he had to admit that someone carried the burden for him.

In the beginning, when he first became a ’god,’ why was there always calm in Subspace? Later on, when he used the power of the Subspace Divine Kingdom to tear through the cracks in the real universe, bringing the power of the Divine Realm into the real universe to press on people, why was he always benefiting, without other Subspace powerhouses coming after him?

He originally thought all that was normal, that the world was simply like that.

The Emperor? Perhaps the Emperor provided some help, but mainly it was due to his own effort.

However, upon reaching his current stature, he knows relying on oneself is rubbish. At this level of a five-way contest, if no one in Subspace is shielding him, carrying the burden, he’d probably have suffered a powerful blow and been obliterated during one of those times he interfered strongly with the real universe.

In his weak stage back then, even if no Subspace powerhouse showed up, a Divine Sovereign Demon like Shakeqi could have wiped him out – back then, how could he have summoned a Sword Saint like Rosemond? And how could he have Spirit Race Divine Envoys who had battled countless times against someone like Shakeqi, exchanging numerous lives for combat experience, leaving eternal scars?

Simply put, it was all thanks to the Emperor’s protection.

In the beginning, he obscured Gu Hang’s Storm God Kingdom beneath his wings, making it difficult for other malicious Subspace powerhouses to find, granting Gu Hang and his Alliance precious time to develop.

And now, he has reached this level, even if among the Subspace powerhouses, any in a straightforward equal confrontation, he isn’t a match. However, he has at least stood at this level, with minimal trouble safeguarding his Divine Realm.

At this point, do not expect the Emperor’s protection any longer.

It’s not that the Emperor doesn’t want to, it’s that it’s impossible.

The biggest significance of the Emperor’s protection was to hide Gu Hang. But now, with Gu Hang and the Alliance’s size, it’s no longer possible to conceal him. Other powerhouses see him as a rival entering the grand hall, even beginning to invite him to ’play games.’

Conversely, now it’s time for him to provide shelter for others.
