Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1760: Chapter 999: There Is Only One Divine Emperor, But Gods Are Not Necessarily Unique

The two of them valued Martins and the Yulin Army, which was perfectly normal.

They had countless questions in their minds.

However, it seemed that there was no need to ask very clearly.

Some questions actually don’t require answers; just thinking about them can provide answers.

However, people from the Alliance could see their confusion and were not stingy with providing an answer.

Martins gave a self-introduction:

"Martins Salas, from the Phoenix Battle Group, the sixty-fourth Battle Group Leader. Currently also the chairman of the Imperial Dark Side Expedition Committee-Interstellar Warrior Management Association and the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Dark Side Expedition Southern Army."

After hearing this, Robert and Yan Xinzhen both remained expressionless.

Isn’t this all common knowledge?

Although the latter two identities, namely the chairman and Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army, sounded prestigious and indicated that this leader of the earliest allied battle group played a highly significant role in the political power of the entire Alliance.

However, his political identity was clearly not what the Regent King and the Forbidden Army Marshal were concerned about.

Martins also knew what they cared about, so he smiled slightly and continued:

"You might think I’m somewhat different from an ordinary interstellar warrior and rather resemble His Highness the Regent King... I do not deny this, but why things have turned out this way, please allow me to keep it confidential for Lord Gu Hang."

Though described as ’confidential’, this answer revealed everything.

What Robert and Yan Xinzhen cared about was not how Gu Hang ’created’ Martins. What they cared about was the fact that Gu Hang could ’create’ Martins itself!

What does this imply?

Could Gu Hang create a Son of God?

Then what is Gu Hang?

This kind of association felt blasphemous, even to the two of them!

There can only be one Divine Emperor!

But it seems this doesn’t conflict.

After all, there’s no rule that there can only be one God.

No matter how they deny it, they all have to admit now, there are four Evil Gods in Subspace.

And besides those four, having one more God, especially a new God on the human side, isn’t that a good thing?

Such a statement could actually only be a statement. Whether it counts as self-deception... well, it shouldn’t count.

After all, that’s just the truth, right?

The Zebert they desperately tried to kill under the heavy protection of dozens of major unclean beings was killed in an instant when Gu Hang appeared, what more needs to be said?

Not to mention Gu Hang’s personal strength, just look at the Alliance.

If the Human Empire wants to continue, the Alliance is the most crucial.

The Empire, as a brand, depends on whether the Alliance wants to keep using it.

If they want to use it, they’ll keep it; if not, they have territory, an army, interstellar warriors, Battle Nuns, a New National Church, a Sect of Mechanics, a Tribunal, and special intelligence agencies—they even have the Imperial Guard!

Except they call it the Yulin Army.

At this point, Yan Xinzhen was also too lazy to ask about the situation of the Yulin Army.

The earth-shattering news that Gu Hang can create his own Imperial Guard seems not so shocking compared to the fact that he can create a Son of God.

The two exchanged glances and both sighed inwardly.

...

The war on Holy Terra continued for more than fifteen years after the death of Zebert as a milestone.

The siege battlefield outside the Terra Imperial Palace, with a front over a thousand kilometers wide and nearly a thousand kilometers deep, continued to be fought for more than three years until the enemy troops were essentially cleared away.

Subsequently, it took more than fifteen years to clear the visible Chaos Sect and rebels on all of Holy Terra.

In between, there were several repeated skirmishes on local battlefields, during which the enemy even launched major offensives in certain Nest Capital Districts, only to be suppressed quickly.

In the entirety of this war, Holy Terra’s population plummeted by over three trillion.

This was almost equivalent to the population loss when an entire Star Domain of other places was exterminated.

Moreover, aside from the massive population loss, Holy Terra’s originally powerful industrial production capacity also suffered extensive damage, leaving countless social governance problems.

Particularly with the governmental functions failing, the reconstruction work of the Imperial Central Government was of utmost importance.

And these reconstructions—whether political or economic—actually proceeded in tandem with the war.

During this period, Robert had no time to spare, and he couldn’t even pay attention to the war. The subsequent war events on Holy Terra were completely handed over to Yan Xinzhen to manage.

As for why it wasn’t Martins—Martins was the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Army of the Dark Side Expedition and was temporarily assigned along with Dante and Raymond Vis for the Holy Terra campaign. Once the most crucial and difficult part was completed, he had to return to his original post.

Moreover, during these fifteen years, Martins acquired a new position—Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Dark Side Expedition.

He got promoted.

Gu Hang couldn’t manage that many things himself anymore, and after Martins underwent Primarch-level genetic modification, he honed his capabilities over decades. Coupled with his sufficient qualifications, notable achievements, and credibility, it was quite fitting for him to take on the role of the Dark Side Battle Commander.

Returning to Holy Terra, over these fifteen years, Robert gradually rebuilt a new empire government structure.

This structure was quite similar to the model he previously discussed with Gu Hang.

Under the organization of this new empire government, the origin of bureaucrats was divided into three parts.

The most numerous were locals of Terra plus former empire bureaucrats.

However, although they were numerous, their positions of power were generally in the lower and middle ranges.

The second and third parts came from bureaucrats led by Robert from the Infinite Starfield and those from the Alliance.

In general, there wasn’t much difference in rank between the two, but the higher up and more crucial the positions, the more people from these two sources filled them.

However, in terms of overall numbers, the number of people from the Alliance far surpassed those from the Infinite Starfield.

This was inevitable.

The scale of Robert’s Infinite Starfield wasn’t that large. How many useful and competent people could he muster?

On the other hand, the scale of the Alliance was much greater.

Besides Robert, the second most significant figure in Holy Terra’s administration was Jason Morgan.

This person, who started as an ordinary civil servant on Rage Owl Star, rose to become a Planetary Governor, then Star Domain Head, became a Chair of a Cosmos Domain after the Dark Side Expedition began, and now, appointed by Gu Hang, acts as the agent of the Imperial Prime Minister’s power, a journey spanning one hundred and fifty years.

And at present, as the general situation on Holy Terra has finally stabilized and the central power of the empire has been completely restructured, a major task lies before them:

The return ceremony of the Empire Regent King, the appointment ceremony of the new Imperial Prime Minister, the reconstitution ceremony of the Imperial Supreme Council, and the restart ceremony of the Grand Expedition...

All these major ceremonies combined have a name:

The New Empire Founding Ceremony.

In the future, this will be formally known as the beginning of the Third Empire.
