Chapter 413: Going Home!

Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.

The entire nation celebrated!

In the breakout competition preliminaries of the Taishi Starfield, they secured a remarkable three spots in the top 100!

Among all the cosmic nations in Taishi Starfield, they were jointly ranked 8th!

Not only were the citizens jubilant, but the privileged members of the imperial family were also overjoyed.

However, Emperor Yunlai remained visibly concerned.

“All the imperial families are rushing to offer congratulations. Why does my husband still wear a worried expression?” the Empress gently inquired.

“It’s merely superficial politeness,” Emperor Yunlai explained. “In this Taishi Starfield breakout competition, my Yunlai Imperial Family has stolen the spotlight, but deep down, they don’t hold it in high regard.”

“Because Wang Ye isn’t from the imperial family. He’s just an outsider,” the Empress remarked softly.

“Exactly.” Emperor Yunlai nodded. “That’s why the influential nobles don’t pay much attention to Wang Ye. Instead, they lavish praise and publicity on Lan Jia and Fu Yumo, especially Lan Jia. He hails from a ten-star life planet, a masterpiece cultivated meticulously by the imperial family.”

“Why not take him seriously?” the empress suggested.

“It’s futile.” Emperor Yunlai sighed. “I’ve extended invitations to him many times, but Wang Ye has consistently declined. I fear he harbors different thoughts, perhaps intending to leave the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation for a larger, more prestigious platform.”

“People who wish to depart cannot be retained,” the empress concurred.

“Indeed.” Emperor Yunlai agreed. “But I perceive Wang Ye as someone who values relationships. If the influential nobles place enough importance on him, seeking talent eagerly and appealing to his emotions, I believe Wang Ye might still choose to remain in the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.”

The empress smiled gently. “Husband, aren’t you aware of their values? They only prioritize their interests. Wang Ye is just a mere Super Star level individual, not an Undying Lifeform. The Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation produces numerous talents like him in every era. Whether he can traverse the cycles of reincarnation remains uncertain.”

“They will regret it,” Emperor Yunlai sighed softly, and suddenly, the Starry Sky Bracelet illuminated.

Observing the news above, Emperor Yunlai remained expressionless because he had already anticipated the outcome.

“Wang Ye, your citizenship has been revoked.”

The Taishi Star Network erupted with discussions.

Wang Ye had renounced his citizenship in the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation, causing quite a stir.

“He’s been poached. A small nation is just a small nation. They can’t retain people.”

“That’s expected. Didn’t we predict this after the auditions? Wang Ye is in the top 10 rankings. Not only the top-ranking cosmic nations but even the powerhouses of the three major cosmic nations were enticed and extended an olive branch to him.”

“It’s logical for a person to climb higher, especially since Wang Ye was born in a territory and lacks backing or foundation in the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation. Moving to a great cosmic nation would be more beneficial for his future development.”

“Come on, let’s guess where Wang Ye will go. The three magnates or another great cosmic nation?”

There was a lively discussion.

On the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation side, the citizens were already launching a barrage of curses.

What was even more interesting was that, for once, the Red River Cosmic Nation found itself on the same side as the Blue Mountain Cosmic Nation.

Together, they cursed Wang Ye!

“Support the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation! Wang Ye is just a profit-driven scoundrel!”

“Once he achieved success, he forgot who nurtured him, utterly ungrateful!”

“Blacklist him! Wherever he goes, I’ll blacklist that cosmic nation. Shameless, poaching from the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation like this!”

“Exactly! Looking down on those great cosmic nations, can’t they nurture their talents? They have to poach from small cosmic nations!”

Wave after wave of heated discussions continued.

After a short while, another bombshell dropped, leaving the inhabitants of the Red River Cosmic Nation utterly bewildered.

The message was short but mind-boggling.

Wang Ye joined the Red River Cosmic Nation.

Retract!

Retract!

Retract!

Freshly posted messages were swiftly removed.

The netizen of the Red River Cosmic Nation was typing at an ever-increasing speed. In a matter of moments, a deluge of praises flooded in.

“Wang Ye has good judgment. The Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation is a dump. He should have left long ago!”

“The elites of the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation are heartless. They’ve forced a talent like Wang Ye to leave. Shameful, absolutely shameful!”

“Praise the ruler of the Red River Cosmic Nation. You truly have a keen eye, hearing the voices of our people!”

“Our Red River Cosmic Nation’s Super Star level younger generation finally has a leader!”

Throughout the Taishi Starfield, people were confused.

Including the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.

Because even if Wang Ye decided to leave, one would expect him to transfer to a wealthy great cosmic nation.

Not only would they offer more, but the platform would also be larger, leading to better prospects for future development.

Join the Red River Cosmic Nation? What on earth?

Taishi Starfield’s 105 cosmic nations, with an overall national strength ranking of 81!

Especially considering the longstanding enmity between the Red River Cosmic Nation and the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation!

Could it be that Wang Ye’s talent lies in defection?

Soon, with an official announcement from the Red River Cosmic Nation, everyone suddenly understood.

“Oh my, so Wang Ye was originally a citizen of our Red River Cosmic Nation!”

“The Chimeng family is despicable! They’ve pushed our cosmic nation’s super genius into a corner, forcing him to join the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation for a mediocre life. Too hateful! Everyone, let’s denounce this and seek justice for Wang Ye!”

“Brother Wang Ye is a loyal person. He still remembers his hometown. Although he could have made a better choice, he chose to return home. This quality is truly admirable. Everyone, I want to bear his children.”

“I misunderstood him before, and I feel so guilty. As a form of self-punishment, 1 won’t visit the Myriad Races Brothel for the next era. I’ll only play the experience version in the human virtual cosmic.”

Wang Ye, looking at the reviews on the Taishi Star Network and the Red River Network, felt a sense of relief.

Originally, he was a slight concern, especially since in the qualifiers ten cosmic days ago, he had physically confronted participants from the Red River Cosmic Nation, including their leader, Xi Yan, and eliminated them.

But it seemed he had worried unnecessarily.

People were quite reasonable.

The past was now behind them, and he was currently the leader of the Red River Cosmic Nation, the star of hope.

Well, not bad.

Not only was the head of the Sha Galaxy efficient, but the methods employed were also sufficiently forceful.

Through a combination of persuasion and force, not only did it help in turning around his public image, but it also directly chastised the Chimeng family.

Now, various cosmic networks were filled with condemnations, all standing up for justice on his behalf!

The Chimeng family’s reputation had hit rock bottom.

“Oh, brother-in-law, the announcement even clearly states that the Tianyao Galaxy will be transferred to your management,” Lingling exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, that’s what I requested. This way, the Red River Cosmic Nation won’t be able to deny it,” Wang Ye explained. “No matter what Blue Planet discovers, there’s no need to worry.”

Typically, the management rights bestowed upon a family by a galaxy lasted for one era.

However, if the cosmic nation desired to take them back, there was little that could be done.

Take the Tianyao Galaxy, originally co-managed by the original fifteen great families. Before they could settle in, the rights were revoked.

“To prevent any more scheming by the Chimeng family,” Nante grinned.

Wang Ye nodded. “The Chimeng family will not halt their investigation. Even if they discover something now, they won’t reap any profits, but they surely won’t let me off easily.”

Now that the Blue Planet was under his control, the Chimeng family had naturally lost their management rights.

“Their territory has been cut, and their reputation has plummeted. The Chimeng family has suffered a significant blow this time,” Lingling happily remarked. “They must be infuriated right now.”

“I don’t have the time to concern myself with them,” Wang Ye said as he glanced over the group. He smiled. “We need to prepare, it’s almost time to go home.”

Yao shivered slightly, and his eyes sparkled.

“Go home? Isn’t this Mingxia Manor?” Lingling was momentarily surprised but then smiled. “Brother-in-law, you…”

Her smile suddenly faded. Lingling’s beautiful eyes widened, and her delicate body trembled. Two tears streaked down her face.

Nante continued grinning foolishly as he placed his hand on Yao’s shoulder.

Going home!

What a distant concept.

Back when they left the Blue Planet, they all harbored the same hope deep within, they wished to return to the Blue Planet one day.

However, they were all aware that this hope was very slim.

The cosmic darkness that once shrouded the sky is now gone!

The Hongqi Supernet that imprisoned numerous Blue Planet geniuses has been eradicated!

“Blue Planet is free!”

They could finally return home.

Chimeng Planet, facing a thunderstorm.

Chimeng King Luojin’s face turned pale, marking the most devastating blow he had experienced since becoming the family leader.

A full third of the galaxy’s territory has been stripped away!

Troubles never came singly, Wang Ye, whom he had always perceived as a thorn in his side, dealt him another severe blow!

While one side dragged him, the other side silently infiltrated his stronghold.

In just a few cosmic days, the transfer was completed, securing the territory.

Moreover, leading the public opinion, they vigorously tarnished the reputation of the Chimeng family!

Chimeng King Luojin had attempted to offer explanations earlier but soon discovered their futility.

In the eyes of Wang Ye, regarded as the star of hope by the Red River Cosmic Nation, all explanations seemed feeble.

The Chimeng family’s reputation lay in ruins!

A period of dark decline awaited them.

“I won’t let this go, Wang Ye!” Chimeng King Luojin’s eyes flared with determination.

As the family leader, he seldom let emotions guide his actions.

However, being repeatedly toyed with by Wang Ye, regardless of his cultivated demeanor, emotions were beyond control.

Especially now, after the substantial decline in the clan’s influence, his position as clan leader was precarious.

All of this was the doing of Wang Ye!

Lemei Planet.

Wang Ye and his team went about their separate tasks, tirelessly occupied.

Lingling handled the procurement of essential items, including starships, holographic helmets, life potions, Mist Stimulation Jabs, and more.

Yao took charge of recruiting talents, encompassing experts in science and technology, biology, chemistry, and medicine, as well as mentors for warriors and ability users.

Nante managed the wholesale of equipment, acquiring large quantities of New Star level and cosmic-level gear.

Wang Ye was responsible for purchasing slaves, predominantly human slaves. They were mostly cosmic and Dark Energy level slaves, with a few Super Star level ones.

It incurred substantial costs.

Nevertheless, Wang Ye was not short on funds.

With a net worth in the hundreds of millions of dark crystals, though perhaps not as affluent as major families, it still surpassed the wealth of ordinary families in the seven-star life star system by a considerable margin.

Administering a six-star life galaxy was well within their means.

Seven cosmic days later.

Wang Ye, accompanied by his team, boarded the “Red River Prodigy” acquired from the Red River Cosmic Nation and departed from Lemei Planet.

Heading towards the Tianyao Galaxy, Blue Planet!

They were returning home!
