The interstellar space has been swarmed by an influx of Zerg creatures, and through joint investigations by various nations, it’s been discovered that there exists a wormhole—a passage linking two different worlds, functioning as a crucial transportation hub.
Presently, the Zerg have taken control of the wormhole, posing a severe threat due to their formidable physical prowess. Faced with this imminent danger, galaxies have decided to unite, and even the esteemed academies renowned for producing talents in interstellar associations have opted to join forces.
However, in this short period of time, due to the monarch’s injury, Burke Star has blocked the release of information, delaying their consent to the Federation’s invitation. Ministers are all awaiting the recovery of their monarch.
Charles, whose national power is second only to Burke Star, readily agreed to join, leveraging his own strength and reputation to become a primary governing nation within the Federation.
In this instant, Jiang Qian, as Charles’ prince and a key player within the Federation, gathered the affection of interstellar citizens. They understand that with such a great nation guarding them, their safety is more assured. Moreover, with interstellar citizens being mandated to stay indoors for safety reasons, except for observing the developments via the Star Network, they found themselves bored with little else to do.
Given the overwhelming amount of support expressed, Jiang Qian decided to set up his own StarBlog. Shortly after its launch, he accumulated millions upon millions of followers, all rallying behind him, cheering for both him and the spiritual ability users stationed at the frontlines.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qian found himself unintentionally benefiting from adversity, his pride inflating considerably.
“Hey, where are you all headed?” Jiang Qian halted the progression of a battalion of soldiers, inquiring. Currently, aside from guarding their own borders, nations dispatched a portion of their forces to support the frontlines, which naturally lie not far from the vicinity of the wormhole.
Almost everyone on the frontline knows Jiang Qian. Upon seeing him, the lead soldier halted and dutifully responded, “Your Highness, we’re about to patrol and search for any signs of Zerg activity.”
Jiang Qian considered for a moment and said, “I happen to be free. I’ll join you guys.”
They hadn’t gone far when Jiang Qian quickly posted a dynamic update on his StarBlog, accompanied by a picture: [On patrol.]
After sending the post, he lost a bit of interest and allowed the soldiers to continue while he prepared to return and take some rest. After all, for these past few days, they hadn’t seen a hint of Zerg attacks.
Within minutes of the StarBlog update, he received tens of thousands of comments:
[Working hard, Your Highness! Sending love and support~]
[He’s patrolling so early, he must not have rested well. I feel bad.]
[Ah, he’s just a boy under twenty, after all.]
As the Zerg has not shown up for a long time, Jiang Qian couldn’t help but think of other matters, like Jiang Ling. He might be the only one, apart from Chu Wenyu, who truly understands Jiang Ling’s spiritual abilities. That’s why he finds it odd that Jiang Ling refuses to return to Charles, even concealing his spiritual abilities.
Could it really be because Jiang Ling had deep feelings for Chu Wenyu? Jiang Qian unconsciously recalled the moment his brother exploded with power when Burke Star’s monarch faced a threat.
He found it amusing but couldn’t dismiss his vigilance. Jiang Ling is a significant threat to him, especially since the latter knows about his collaboration with the Zerg. Jiang Qian feared they might already be plotting his demise.
However, now he is a public figure throughout the galaxy. To avoid public outrage, Jiang Ling and Chu Wenyu probably wouldn’t dare retaliate openly against him.
Moreover, Jiang Qian planned to use this opportunity to turn the tables in advance.
During the Federation meeting, King Charles holds significant sway over discussions representing the Charles Star.
“Regarding Burke Star’s delayed response, I don’t think it’s that simple. A few days ago, the Zerg first appeared near Burke Star. Yet, Burke Star is reluctant to join the Federation. Don’t you all see the connection here?”
Charles, having heard Jiang Qian’s words, believed that since the Zerg issue won’t be resolved immediately, it’s better to tackle this formidable opponent first.
Representatives from various galaxies fell into contemplation. There are many uncertainties surrounding the Zerg’s appearance.
“The leader of Burke Star ignores our invitation, showing no concern for the fate of the galaxy. He’s really looking down on the rest of us.”
“But Burke Star holds significant power, and we’re in dire need of help right now…”
Upon hearing these remarks, Charles spoke slowly, “I, Charles, am willing to dedicate everything for the future of the galaxy. Moreover, my second prince possesses SS-level spiritual abilities and is willing to act as a vanguard. I plead with all of you to join forces with Charles to suppress Burke Star’s authoritarian power.”
Chu Wenyu’s actions had completely enraged him. Even if it isn’t the perfect timing, Charles desired to leverage this opportunity for a turnaround. He refused to be dominated any longer.
After some contemplation, the representatives eventually agreed and quickly moved to sign the alliance. They have long been discontent with Burke Star’s domineering leader, and Jiang Qian’s strength further reassured them.
Thus, Jiang Qian, who was encouraged, spread rumors through the media, linking Chu Wenyu to colluding with the Zerg, reaching every corner of the galaxy.
The interstellar population were outraged, never imagining that the current perilous situation was caused by a particular star system.
Official accounts associated with Burke Star were flooded with interstellar citizens’ criticism.
The rumors were spread with Charles’ consent. In places beyond Charles’ view, Jiang Qian also privately hired numerous internet users to add allegations against his brother, Jiang Ling.
[I heard the Burke Star monarch and the eldest prince sent to Charles have some murky relationship, and Burke Star’s collusion with the Zerg was to prevent him being taken back to Charles by Prince Jiang Qian.]
[So, those two are still playing dead…]
[What? Charles actually has another prince?]
[Poor Prince Jiang Qian, burdened with such a useless brother causing trouble.]
[While Prince Jiang Qian is still on the frontline, those two are enjoying their leisure. They are so selfish; they must have struck a deal with those monsters.]
[No wonder His Majesty Charles favors Prince Jiang Qian so much.]
Such scandals spread throughout the galaxy. Although not officially confirmed, the public had already taken them as the truth.
King Charles was deeply angered upon hearing this news. However, he never doubted Jiang Qian. Instead, he felt somewhat resigned, considering Jiang Qian’s recent performance far exceeded Jiang Ling’s. Since both are SS-level spiritual users, thoughts of considering Jiang Qian as the heir appeared in his mind.
The Burke Star Palace remained sealed until Chu Wenyu’s estrus period ended. Omegas are particularly clingy after being marked, and this behavior could not be seen by outsiders. But even after the estrus period, Chu Wenyu faced a significant problem: he can’t hide his omega status anymore.
There’s never been a history in any galaxy where an omega ascended the throne, and the citizens wouldn’t accept an omega struggling with their estrus period as their ruler.
If he hadn’t concealed his identity back then, it would have been impossible for him to attain this position in any case.
“Your Majesty, are you okay?” After correcting his attributes, Jiang Ling spent several days helping Chu Wenyu fully recover from his spiritual disorders. However, he realized the current issue they faced.
Moreover, rumors about them in the interstellar world were rampant, and a considerable portion of it wasn’t merely hearsay.
Chu Wenyu expressed the desire to come out publicly, but Jiang Ling preferred him not to, at least for the time being. As for clarifying matters regarding the Zerg, Jiang Ling intended to handle it himself. There might be other ways to conceal Chu Wenyu’s omega status for a while longer.
As a monarch, Chu Wenyu’s reputation was too important.
“Don’t worry. Who do you think would dare challenge me?” Chu Wenyu seemed nonchalant. He was no longer a vulnerable omega. No one dared to challenge his authority; at most, they could only express their discontent without acting upon it.
As for turning the rumor about him and Jiang Ling into reality, it was purely selfish. With even monsters appearing in interstellar space, crazier things happening wouldn’t be surprising under the urgent threat of the Zerg.
Under the pressing Zerg threat, the Burke Star government, which had remained silent, finally issued an official statement through its official accounts regarding the false rumors circulating on the Star Network about Burke Star colluding with the Zerg.
[Recent baseless rumors on the Star Network concerning Burke Star’s collusion with the Zerg have severely impacted interstellar peace and friendly relations. Burke Star will take severe actions against those spreading rumors and actively engage in countering the Zerg threat, fulfilling our responsibilities to the galaxy.]
Furthermore, after being sealed off with no information, the palace held an online press conference. Almost the entire galaxy was watching this conference, causing temporary disruptions on the StarBlog.
This was the first time the mysterious leader of Burke Star appeared in public. The people of the galaxy were intensely curious about this monarch’s true appearance, along with some rumors surrounding him, although these rumors were not publicly acknowledged.
However, when they saw the man looking indifferent at the camera, the entire galaxy was stunned. Not only did his appearance match the rumored descriptions, shocking everyone, but they also never expected Burke Star’s monarch to be an omega.
The most powerful monarch in the galaxy, from Burke Star, was an omega!
Yet, apart from their perception of his omega identity, everything else seems to have nothing to do with being an omega. With his appearance and aura, he’s even more intimidating than any alpha.
Even the steward who had been by Chu Wenyu’s side was taken aback when he met the monarch after Chu Wenyu’s recovery. He nearly dropped his jaw in shock. He thought his senses were playing tricks on him, but the faint scent of pheromones lingering around His Majesty confirmed that he was indeed an omega.
“What’s the matter, surprised?”
The steward’s internal unease dissipated upon hearing Chu Wenyu’s characteristically cold and aloof words, but fear still lingered within. To him, Chu Wenyu hadn’t transformed into an omega; instead, he remained intimidating and fierce.
What followed surprised him even more. He feared consequences for knowing His Majesty’s secret, but he hadn’t expected His Majesty to publicly announce it to the world.
The steward couldn’t figure out His Majesty’s intentions but proceeded as instructed.
This outrageous turn of events sent shockwaves throughout the entire galaxy. Yet, what dumbfounded them even more came next.
The Burke Star monarch actually stepped forward personally to confirm what they thought was merely a rumor. And to everyone’s surprise… it wasn’t a rumor at all.
