Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1093 - 425: King of Torment and the Imperial Apostle (Part 3)

At first, it was just light, not yet too hot.

But Ren Zhong already knew there was no way out.

He simply walked to the elevator platform where his comrades had fallen, looked around, and sat down cross-legged on the ground.

There was a smile on his face.

Good.

Very good.

I can still maintain my perfectionist's golden image.

Boom!

Before the extreme energy level of heat and light arrived, Ren Zhong skillfully initiated self-destruction.

...

A revival once more.

Just like the nearly four thousand previous resurrections, he still sat beside Ying Hao, accompanying this ambitious steering man of the Source Star Military Industry at a war declaration press conference.

In the spacious and bright conference room, diplomatic personnel from various factions and many reporters working part-time for Xiao Xingyue slightly raised their heads, looking at Ying Hao with astonishment.

The development of events was no different from the past.

Ren Zhong returned to Starfire Town that afternoon.

On the way back, he once again efficiently completed the transfer of information, delivering crucial information separately to Ju Qingmeng, Qian Wangshen, Sun Miao, and Hua Yuelan.

With only a slight change, this time he only had Qian Wangshen design a scaled-down waterdrop-shaped shuttle.

Yes, he planned to set off alone.

He no longer needed so many helpers.

After handling these relatively important matters with high efficiency, Ren Zhong surprisingly found himself with some rare leisure time.

He went to the training ground once more.

Yu Chengde, Song Mu'en, and others were there.

Even though he didn't need helpers this time, Ren Zhong still asked Ying Hao for Yu Chengde and the others.

For no other reason than it was aiding Ma Daofu and his daughter in finding family, while also helping Yu Chengde conclude his obsessions.

By the time Ren Zhong arrived, Yu Chengde was still instructing Ma Xiaoling, his newly recognized great-granddaughter.

Ma Daofu skillfully moved closer again.

"Truly unbelievable..."

Ren Zhong opened his mouth, interrupting old Ma, "The mysteriousness of destiny, the fortuitousness of life, truly leave one at a loss. I probably won't live for many more years. To see Mr. Yu before dying fulfills an obsession passed down from my ancestors, and my life can be considered complete."

Ma Daofu: "Ah?"

Ren Zhong chuckled, "Ah, what?"

Old Ma's face flesh shivered, "How did you know what I was thinking? I pondered for a long time just to speak this way with the most perspective. Now you've left me speechless!"

Ren Zhong, looking at old Ma's aggrieved and speechless look, recalled their shrewd interaction the first time he came to Starfire Town, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's alright, I understand your meaning."

Ma Daofu responded with a nod, silent for a while, then sighed, "I think you're truly a monster."

"How so?"

"If you can see through others' thoughts, isn't that monstrous? I can hardly believe there's anyone in the world who can deceive you."

Hearing this, Ren Zhong turned his head towards Ma Xiaoling and instinctively shook his head, "Don't be too sure, someone can."

Ma Daofu: "Who?"

Ren Zhong did not answer further.

After a while, Ren Zhong patted Ma Daofu's shoulder and whispered, "Don't let Ma Xiaoling know about the Electric Control Crystal. Even without it, she will eventually become stronger than me, stronger than Mr. Yu."

Ma Daofu widened his eyes, mouth agape.

He wanted to ask how Ren Zhong knew. But he immediately thought, since he'd been completely seen through, it was normal for Ren Zhong to know about the Electric Control Crystal too.

Ren Zhong: "By the way, old Ma. I have one more question for you."

"What is it?"

Ren Zhong: "Do you think there's a problem for someone like me on Source Star to have only one spouse and remain childless?"

Ma Daofu answered without hesitation: "Of course. After all, human lifespan is limited, the time of awakening is limited, and no matter how much you try to extend your life, there will inevitably be times when you must freeze. You need a bloodline successor to carry on your will, so everyone can be at ease. But everyone knows your nature and doesn't dare to suggest it to you."

Ren Zhong nodded, "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going first."

Ma Daofu: "Wait!"

Ren Zhong turned back, "Old Ma, stop struggling. Your daughter isn't young anymore; she should get married."

...

Outside the white sphere, Ren Zhong's Waterdrop Shuttle quietly parked.

At this time, he was not wearing the Red Blade Armor, but a uniquely styled red long robe.

The robe hung behind him like a cloak, with two large shield-like buckles on his shoulders.

He wore a round hoop made of special alloy on his head.

His current attire resembled that of the old icicles inside, but more exquisitely designed.

This was a garment styled as an Imperial Apostle's outfit, distilled from cultural information related to the Mechanical Empire provided by the old icicles. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

From now on, Ren Zhong was no longer a native of Source Star, but an apostle from a distant empire.
