In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.
During this time, Xu Lingjun accompanied Li Pingting, and the pair almost visited all the most bustling places in Star City.
Li Pingting was actually quite uneasy about her status, even though she was the actual navigator of the Li Family and was Li Jingjun's aunt.
She actually knew that she was merely a figure akin to the ancient chambermaid, if not for the purpose of borrowing his sperm to produce more offspring for the Li Family...
She might not have had the courage to offer herself.
Precisely because of this, her apparent defiance was actually nothing more than a means to conceal the insecurity and unease within her heart, wanting to demand more from Xu Lingjun.
Though she was older than Xu Lingjun by quite a bit, Xu Lingjun's experience was so profound that he saw through her effortlessly...
Naturally, he indulged her whims.
Until two months later.
They received reliable news that the army was about to return from the Spirit Realm.
And at this moment.
He also received a summons from the masters of various civilizations within the Milky Way Galaxy.
In short...
They were here to lodge complaints.
"What? Such a thing actually happened?!"
Upon hearing Sass's somewhat disgruntled words during conversations through the installations on the Communication Star with each civilization's masters, Xu Lingjun was greatly shocked and exclaimed, "Are you saying that our Blue Star army was so domineering to such an extent that it didn't even allow your forces to enter the capital of the Spirit Realm to loot war trophies, even monopolizing all the loot?"
Mo Luo rolled his eyes.
Unexpectedly, he wasn't surprised by the occurrence. In fact, he felt that it might have been orchestrated by Xu Lingjun... but observing Xu Lingjun's astonished expression now, he was momentarily unclear if Xu Lingjun was aware or not.
This guy's acting was simply too good.
"I don't even want to say anything further,"
Crowley remarked coldly, "The Demon clan numbered no less than a hundred, you gathered some of them, but slaughtered dozens. We waged consecutive battles against these demons for Blue Star, suffering heavy casualties, yet we didn't even acquire a single demon's Spiritual Qi, and all the benefits accrued to you... Whether it was a coincidence or something else..."
Speaking up to this point, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, which had been healed.
When coincidences accumulate too frequently, they can no longer be called coincidences.
Though he had no evidence, he sensed from the get-go, all civilizations had been treated as tools by Blue Star... From the beginning, he was using them, playing them, even discarding them as used rags after exploitation.
He articulated seriously, "Blue Star is destined to become the first Star System level civilization in the galaxy, and we are also destined to become Blue Star's clan someday... but at least for now, we are equal."
"Indeed,"
Becki also shouted loudly, "We attacked the Spirit Realm together, and we paid a substantial sacrifice, but yet all the gains were harvested solely by Blue Star... We are equal, we demand a share of those war trophies!"
"Sorry, I'm truly not aware of this matter. Rest assured, I will severely punish that Thunder Roar, trust me, I was planning to promote him to the Commander in Chief of the Nine Major Military Regions after this battle, but now it seems I must demote him by a rank, perhaps making him a commander of one region within the Nine Major Military Regions,"
Xu Lingjun said, "When Thunder Roar returns, I will contact everyone promptly to redistribute all the war trophies... I apologize on behalf of my subordinates for their misconduct and hope everyone can forgive his recklessness."
"When the time comes, we will personally visit Blue Star to reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to us!"
Crowley said coldly, and ended the call.
Leading the other civilization masters to leave one by one...
Xu Lingjun stood silently for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, sighing, "That Thunder Roar did even more thoroughly than I anticipated, but it's just right, I've been waiting for him for a whole half year."
Rising, he walked out.
Half a year ago, when Xu Lingjun left the Spirit Realm, the resistance forces there had been almost ninety percent demolished... Therefore, although Xu Lingjun and others departed, subsequent combat casualties were not too substantial.
The number of warships was consistent upon departure and return.
Though many warrior lives were lost there, no one ever expected zero casualties in war.
Three days later.
All the warships descended upon Blue Star, slowly landing in the newly constructed base within Star City.
At this moment, Blue Star's might was fully displayed before everyone... an overwhelming fleet, impervious to even the fiercest war that couldn't inflict any slight damages on this force.
And when all the warships reached the ground.
Thunder Roar stepped off the warship immediately, respectfully saluting Xu Lingjun, "Your Majesty, I have followed your orders and brought back all the items from the Spirit Realm."
Xu Lingjun praised, "Well done, this time... I'll at least promote you by one level!"
"Promotion isn't necessary, as long as similar tasks come up next time, just assign them to me,"
Thunder Roar laughed heartily, "It was exhilarating, such tasks are truly thrilling!"
"You can, but please accept the reward too, oh, where's the thing I wanted?"
"It's here!"
