"Ethan!" Song watched her second loyal general go down and nearly jumped out of her own skin. She flashed across the distance and reached for him, but Ethan was already using his talent—gone from one place, back a thousand li away.

Three Hamlai dead. Not a bad haul, and the whole planet had watched it happen. That was the point. Somebody needed to give Earth a reason to believe.

He wasn't done.

His system shop had leveled up, and it had added a new toy he hadn't tried yet: a poison-gas bomb. Un

    "Where." Chiyou's voice had dropped to a low, dangerous rumble. "Where did you get this stuff? You're the old man's apprentice, aren't you? He never struck me as a pill-maker."Ethan scratched the back of his neck. "The old man being who, exactly. The Yellow Emperor?"A look of pure exasperation crossed Chiyou's face. "You kid. I got beaten half to death by that one. But no — I'm not talking about him. Did your people never keep the real old history? You only go back, what, a few thousand years?""If we skip the last hundred and twenty." Ethan thought it through. "Lunguo's history runs eight thousand years, back to the ancient Yu. There's talk of an even older Tang before that, but it wasn't proven before the sky broke. So there was something before that. There was more."He was a transmigrator. He remembered, dimly, the world he'd come from — the dig that had finally uncovered the ancient Yu ruins, the textbooks rewritten, even the Analects updated after thousands of years. He'd miss

  • Chapter 284: Chiyou Is Wounded

    "Then I'll thank you in advance." Ethan let the Giant envoy leave with a friendly nod. "We've got all kinds of strange tech and ability back on Earth. If you ever want to compare notes, you'd be welcome. The three of us ought to be able to get on well enough."He meant every word. Free muscle was exactly what he needed, and the Giants were the best muscle in the known universe. They were rare, almost touchy about privacy, but every single one of them was worth ten thousand ordinary fighters. The whole cosmos agreed on that. Put the Giants between his home and whatever came next, with the Bimeng Clan backing them up, and Earth ought to be safe for a long while.He chatted with the Giant side a little longer, exchanged a few more promises, and took his leave. The Bimeng had a birth to celebrate — Zhongyao, their little one, had come out showing the old blood. The Giants, meanwhile, were already arguing over who got to be first in line for the Birth-Granting Pill. They hadn't welcomed a

  • Chapter 283: Bloodline Atavism, Top Talent

    "Brother Long, rest here a moment. Yedu will be out soon. I'm taking my grandson for a bloodline test, and to check his talent." Wumadi hugged the boy, radiant.One point six meters was nothing to a five-meter man.Ethan was curious. "Can I watch your bloodline test?""Of course. It's no secret. Every newborn of every race gets one. Don't you do that where you're from?" Wumadi agreed at once.Ethan's mouth twitched. "No.""Then your civilization must have a gap, or you were simply behind. It doesn't matter. I have spare testing tools; I'll send you a set later." Wumadi waved it off and led him over to the Mercenary Alliance side.The testing room was somewhere else entirely — a high-tech sci-fi space of silver-gray metal. The air dropped the moment they walked in. Down a long corridor they reached a sealed chamber. At its center stood a dais with a bowl on it. The bowl had sat so long it was coated in verdigris.Ethan thought it looked familiar. Exactly a little like the machine they

  • Chapter 282: Duke of Black Dragon City

    "You two have done more for my city than I can say." The lord was a lizard-man — black scales, a lizard's head, a human body, a long tail, towering at five or six meters. His eyes, slit-pupiled and gold, moved between them, warm and eager. "You have no idea how we've suffered. Our star domain is remote. We have no resources. Every year we rank dead last. No one invests here. No one even travels through, except to refuel.""No higher rank, fewer resources. Round and round. We only fall further behind." He sighed. "Every meeting, I keep my head down, I can't look anyone in the eye. This year, because of you, our economy climbed eighteen places. We'll win the progress award. We'll receive so many resources. The Black Dragon Domain will grow."Ethan glanced at him and said nothing.Tang seized the chance. "My lord, you're too kind. We're all part of this domain. It's what we should do. Don't be so polite. We'll work harder still, make the Black Dragon Domain a famous economic power across

  • Chapter 281: Everything in Order

    Three months later, Yedu came back to Black Dragon City. Maze was heavy now, less than two months from delivery. The Bimeng had already arrived in the Black Dragon Domain, settled near Blue Star, and would take over the guard duty. Yedu could step down and be home for the birth.Ethan was busy every single day.Alchemy. The Galaxy Guild. Touring the star systems he had been awarded.He commanded over a thousand systems now, scattered across the Black Dragon Domain in every direction. He had to log each coordinate and arrange for Blue Star people to staff them. One trip after another left him exhausted. He bought planting assistants and sales assistants by the handful; no land was going to waste. Black Dragon City's demand for vegetables and fruit was absurd, and the great houses of the domain had all signed supply contracts, hauling cargo from the Chenlong Domain at least twice a week."Look at you, Mister Busy." Gordon Tang watched him walk in. "Haven't seen you in a month. What now?

  • Chapter 280: Lord Ding

    "Now that you mention it." Wumadi narrowed his eyes, digging through memory. "When the Galaxy Lord first appeared, the weapon he used — I think it was a cauldron?"Yedu considered it. "The books say that before every fight he'd shout something. 'Lord Ding,' I think. So the weapon must have been called Lord Ding.""Both from small worlds. Both freakishly gifted. Brother Long isn't as overbearing as the Galaxy Lord was, but his strength is nothing to shrug at." Wumadi thought of Ethan's abilities and shook his head. "You've made a fine friend this time. Look after him. Plenty of clans will be attacking his homeworld soon. Post your people on the roads to it and turn them back."He had fully claimed Ethan as one of his own now. One of his own did not take a scratch while he could help it.Yedu nodded and went at once.The Bimeng star domain was far from the Black Dragon range. Even at full speed, three months was the minimum. To guard against whatever might happen in those months, Yedu w
