Chapter 741, Personal Power
Gu Hang certainly did not deceive the Prime Minister.
It would be really stupid to lie about such a thing. Qi Bo Du has plenty of ways to verify whether what Gu Hang said is true or false.
There is indeed this "sixth rejuvenation operation" technology in the Psychic Order.
However, the reason why it has not been widely popularized is that it is too difficult.
Rejuvenation surgery can extend a person's life span, and the limit is five times. Each time, it can extend the life span by 60 to 100 years. Adding the normal life span of humans, the rejuvenation surgery can be fully extended, so that a human dignitary can live to four or five hundred years old.
But this is the limit.
Going beyond that, the rejuvenation surgery will inevitably fail.
Mortals have limits.
And the power of psychic energy can help mortals break through this limit.
However, this is a theoretical study. It is said that when the Prime Minister of the Empire was still there, he was able to personally perform the extremely difficult sixth rejuvenation with the supreme power second only to the emperor.
However, after him, no one has been able to achieve a similar effect.
The technology that had no successful cases for 10,000 years was sealed up like this.
But who made Gu Hang appear in this era?
What ordinary S+ psychics couldn't do, Gu Hang could try.
Does Qi Bo Du care?
He cares a lot!
He is about to have his fifth rejuvenation operation.
Although he has a lifespan of at least 60 to 70 years and at most 100 years, there is a limit after all.
Is he willing? He has been the Prime Minister of the Empire for more than 60 years. In the past 30 years, he has gotten rid of the Sun Lord who once stood above him and became the first powerful minister in reality. Moreover, he is still moving towards the direction of truly holding power alone, with the goal of bringing the Inquisition, Space Marines, State Religion, Mechanicus... into his hands.
How can a lifespan of several decades, or at most a hundred years, be enough for him to accomplish such a grand cause?
Even if he really accomplishes it, how can the remaining lifespan be enough for him to enjoy a glorious life in the future?
He feels sad when he thinks that people will eventually die.
Now, although what Gu Hang brought him was not the eternal life he hoped for, at least the sixth rejuvenation operation could extend his life for another hundred years!
The temptation was greater than anything else!
In the second half of the conversation, nothing else mattered. The two talked about this matter for a long time.
It was mainly Qi Bodu who asked questions and Gu Hang who answered.
It was not until the very end that they talked about the "Alliance Plan".
Qi Bodu did not object anymore.
...
Gu Hang was relatively satisfied with the various activities he had come to Holy Terra this time.
There were difficulties and twists and turns. The malice from the Prime Minister, the matter of the Psychic Order, and even the warning from the Assassin's Court before he came. Until now, it has not been clear who assigned the Assassin's Court to do it.
Gu Hang also tried to meet with the Grand Master of the Assassin's Court, Clement, but he still closed the door.
This problem is not solved, and it will always be a thorn.
Gu Hang always has a little awe of the Assassin's Court. Their conventional methods are already quite terrible. Gu Hang would not be threatened by such an assassination, but that was just a conventional method.
The Assassin's Court has been passed down for thousands of years, and once even had a record of successfully assassinating the corrupt Son of God. Taking out these means at the bottom of the box might really harm him.
Especially in Holy Terra, this is not his territory.
Gu Hang believes that he should be very strong now.
But he should not be as strong as the Son of God... right?
He is not sure.
He is only sure that he has long been out of the category of psychics.
Psychics, using psychic energy, is essentially just a "loophole", connecting the subspace and the real universe, and drawing psychic energy from themselves. As for many changes, skills, and even whether they are strong or not, it is indeed up to the psychic itself, but it cannot change its essence.
Whether it is the lowest level or the so-called A-level or S-level, it is the same.
Even when it reached the Alpha level, which was beyond human control, it did not change the essence. It was nothing more than too much subspace energy gushing out, so that the most talented people, even if they learned the best skills, could not control it, and eventually were twisted into monsters, sadly becoming the channel connecting the subspace with reality.
But Gu Hang was not like that.
He could not be considered a psychic very early on.
That was many, many years ago, before he left the Wrathful Owl Star, he swallowed the Original Wrathful Owl, occupied its kingdom of God, and turned it into his own use.
At that time, the Original Wrathful Owl was said to be a subspace god, but from today's perspective, it was not a thing that was too difficult to deal with.
At least, it was not on the same level as the various monsters and demons that Gu Hang encountered later.
But the help it provided to Gu Hang was great.
Later, Gu Hang traveled across the star sea for thirty or forty years and passed through so many worlds. It turned out that things like the Original Wrathful Owl, a subspace god that was born on a planet, were so rare. Among thousands of worlds, Gu Hang only encountered two, and in terms of strength and specifications, they were far from reaching the level of inferior gods, and could only be considered as prototypes.
Of course, the two Gu Hang encountered eventually went into his stomach.
After thinking it over, Gu Hang realized that the Angry Owl Star was a very special existence.
It is very special. The curtain between the Angry Owl and the subspace is very thin. That brought rich rewards to the Angry Owl very early on. High-level energy mines such as the Spiritual Gas Field are not found everywhere; but it also brought it a deep disaster. The subspace demon invasion that almost destroyed the entire world was caused by this.
Only in such an environment can a simple person on a planet, with his love for a certain animal, be able to shape the concept of a subspace secondary god.
But the more critical point is the upgrade option of his personal panel in the system inherited by Gu Hang.
Without it, even if the most powerful psychic can kill the prototype of the secondary god such as the original Angry Owl to slag, how can he inherit its kingdom of God?
Impossible.
That is not something humans can do.
And with this kingdom of God, Gu Hang really ushered in a qualitative change.
The so-called qualitative change does not mean that his psychic power has an explosive growth - it is true that he has become stronger and can even tear open the curtain of reality, allowing the Storm Kingdom to descend briefly and controllably, thus providing Gu Hang with a very powerful psychic power blessing.
But these are just application methods, all minor ways.
The fundamental change is that Gu Hang has a subspace essence.
This is the fundamental change.
With this subspace essence - the direct manifestation is his Storm Kingdom - in the future, when encountering big demons, other inferior god prototypes, neuron worms... monsters of similar levels, Gu Hang can do more than just defeat them and destroy them, but has a more critical step: devour them.
Devour the subspace essence they represent.
Among them, the biggest gain came from the queen of insects who died when Reyaduches was completely destroyed by the "Earth-shattering Star Destroyer" after the victory of the last war.
Until now, Gu Hang has to admit that the Zerg is really an outrageous race. They are certainly not native to the Warp, and even their nature has nothing to do with the Warp at all.
They are huge in number, have no thoughts, no emotions, and only the instinct to devour. Even the thinking ability shown by advanced insects is just something that has evolved specifically according to needs.
Reading the error-free version! 6=9+书_吧 first published this novel.
For them, the brain is no different from other organs. As long as there is a need for battle, some can be evolved from the next batch of organisms and placed on the node organisms.
The swarm will learn from combat experience and carry out targeted evolution, from weapons and equipment to tactical thinking. This is originally a piece of information that the imperial researchers are more certain of.
However, this kind of evolution can evolve into psychic power, which is already a bit scary; they can even analyze the "essence of the Warp" from countless wars, and in order to produce more powerful psychic units, they can also evolve it!
This is simply terrifying.
Void Zerg... an absolute cosmic enemy, and even one of the most terrifying enemies.
Their existence is quite terrifying.
As for the Queen of Zerg, in order to fight against the top psychic, it has spent countless costs, not only evolving many neuron worms, but also evolving the subspace essence in order to hatch neuron worms and even to fight against itself directly.
What it has is even a higher level than neuron worms!
This big tonic really made Gu Hang feel very happy.
But these tonics through swallowing are still secondary.
For Gu Hang, the more important growth channel actually comes from the alliance itself.
As the actual control area of the alliance continues to expand, Gu Hang's image as the leader of the alliance will inevitably be gradually deeply rooted in the hearts of the people within the entire alliance, and the power of the Kingdom of Storm God will naturally be enhanced.
People's feelings towards him are not religious beliefs, but a kind of love, trust, loyalty... After these emotions gradually take root in the hearts of thousands of people, the effect they produce is no weaker than traditional religious beliefs.
This is his biggest base. His Storm Kingdom has also grown greatly with the growth of the Alliance.
Moreover, there is a new path recently. With his personal image, it has been widely spread in Holy Terra and even the entire Solar Star Region. After being loved, this place will provide him with some new power.
It is an unexpected surprise.
At this level, he can vaguely feel and realize why the Emperor is so powerful? Why in the warp, his golden kingdom is so dazzling and ostentatious, but the four greatest evil gods in the warp dare not face it?
He only has the trust of the entire alliance, but the Emperor has the trust of the entire empire, the countless trillions of people.
Even further, Gu Hang can even speculate on the cause of the four ancient evil gods.
But this is far away, and it is useless to speculate.
Back to the present, Gu Hang himself actually doesn't know how to define his own power?
It's hard to say.
But at least, people like Martins and Salilius, who are one level higher than the champion of the regiment and can almost be called the top warriors chosen by the Emperor, are just stubborn stones in his hands - it takes a little effort, but Gu Hang has a hammer in his hand, and he can still smash it after a few more hits and numbness in his hands.
More importantly, since it is stubborn stone, there is almost no need to worry about their ability to hurt themselves.
Top warriors can suppress the power of the warp, cut through spells with a passionate blade, and instantly close the distance to kill psychics or even gods with swords.
But that is a statement that can only be made at the same level.
Gu Hang is no longer on the same level as them.
As for the great demons of the evil gods... I can only say that if the great demons in the world are at the level of the Great Unclean One-Govaga, he can kill a bunch of them by himself now.
The so-called son of the Emperor, the son of God that the Space Marines call their father, the characters in the Imperial mythology, the former legion leaders... Gu Hang couldn't make a comparison of this level of existence due to the lack of observation samples.
However, if you think optimistically, maybe you have reached this level.
It's just that you are strong or weak at this level.
After having such strength, he actually has the idea of going out in the warp to hunt down various great demons and inferior evil gods to enrich himself.
However, it is only a thought at present.
He did not forget that his Storm Kingdom was protected by the Golden Kingdom. If he casually showed up, left the protection, and entered the chaotic real warp waves, it would be easy to be targeted by the four terrible things. Gu Hang still dared not provoke them.
As for when he just obtained the Storm Kingdom, he was worried that if he went too deep on this road, he would lose his human nature...
Now, there is no need to think about this problem.
He has gone very deep.
Along the way, he can't give up this power. Without this power, he would have too many difficulties to overcome.
In this case, he could only hope that this road would not be a dead end.
In any case, he had to keep going.
Devouring other great beings and plundering to supplement the essence of the subspace was ultimately a secondary means of supplementation. Building a stronger alliance was the real way forward.
Now that Qi Bodu had been dealt with, the rest were no longer a problem.
Gu Hang then found Luo Fei.
The Prime Minister of the Executive Yuan, who was the biggest obstacle to the advancement of the "Alliance Plan" on the surface, had no ability to resist in the current situation.
