Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1103 - 429: Flashback, the Possibility of Repairing the "Net

Seeing things fall into place, Ren Zhong decided to decisively withdraw to maintain the image of an Imperial Apostle.

He did not allow the frozen Elders to announce his arrival to others.

As for the reason, he did not explain.

Now that he has psychologically claimed a ruling position, he naturally does not need to justify everything.

Ren Zhong lazily yawned and said, "The Source Star Colony's little raft has already changed course, and I need not concern myself with the petty affairs that follow. Although your management system is rigid and outdated, with segregation between levels, your control over the colony is nonetheless passable. It's not too bad."

Since interacting with Ren Zhong, the old-timers, who were tense throughout, felt slightly relieved upon hearing his not-so-candid praise.

No matter what, the attitude of this Apostle from the high nobility is a relief. Upon returning to the Empire, he likely won't denounce them harshly in front of ministers in the Colonization Department.

Bessodes Alson, in charge of resource allocation, rubbed his bald head like a slick merchant and bowed, saying, "Thank you for the Apostle's compliment, we will strive harder."

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "From what you say, it seems like you intend not to return to cryogenic sleep and stay on duty throughout?"

Bessodes was stunned, "Uh."

Fear suddenly surged within him.

He was indeed worried about such a demand from Ren Zhong.

Others standing before the screen also became tense, pricking up their ears.

Ren Zhong: "No need for that. First, according to Imperial law, in times other than war, you are on par with me, and I have no right to make such strict demands of you. Furthermore, it's unnecessary. Your lives are precious and shouldn't be wasted here. I just praised your control as passable, my underlying meaning is that the new migration plan and the plan to preserve civilization seeds needn't be fully disclosed. Just steer appropriately from the top framework, and ensure that not too many perish when we depart is enough. I care only about the result, not the process."

Whew.

The crowd secretly exhaled in relief.

Though Ren Zhong spoke of equality, in truth, the old-timers felt he was speaking with mixed intentions of carrot and stick.

We don't believe a word of it.

They genuinely feared being forced to "waste" five years of their lifespan on Source Star by the Apostle, who might seek retaliation and force them to also be on duty.

They were unaware that Ren Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief.

If the nine old-timers truly stayed awake on duty, he himself would find constraints at every turn and couldn't play tricks.

As it stands, with everyone gratified, it's quite nice.

Ren Zhong waved once more with impatience, "Alright, just send out the notice, arrange a rest chamber for me, I need a break."

At this moment, Fidina Locke hurriedly asked, "Apostle, shall I arrange some toys for you?"

Ren Zhong glanced at her sideways.

Fidina misunderstood, "I am also quite skilled at..."

Ren Zhong's face turned stern, "In my family, no sexual relations are allowed without an emotional foundation."

With that, he turned and left.

The frozen Elders did not find his statement incongruent but instead regarded him with respect.

"Worthy of a high noble."

"It's said only the oldest aristocrat families on Emperor Star uphold such strict family rules to maintain genetic purity."

"They believe in the principle that only love's fruits can produce superior genes."

"No wonder the Apostle can single-handedly break down the class barriers created on Source Star."

"Indeed."

...

Ren Zhong followed a Mechanical Maid to a lavishly decorated grand suite.

He still maintained a stoic expression throughout, merely sitting by a window overlooking the stars, appearing pensive.

He also worked hard to restrain every inch of muscle, especially not letting his shoulders slump, so no one would notice his sense of relief.

Ren Zhong silently gazed at the stars, thinking to himself, indeed the change in the great migration plan should not be publicly announced to everyone.

The reason is simple: the low-grade Citizens and wastelanders currently don't even know the existence of the migration plan.

Therefore, telling these people this "good news" might instead cause massive chaos.

This could ignite the ambition of the wastelanders and low-grade Citizens.

Instead of artificially creating chaos, it is better to let these people continue living foolishly.

Then, when it's truly time for the migration, the Ren Corporation, having completely shattered the development shackles, will inevitably have realized absolute control over Source Star. The Ren Corporation can take over the Association's authority and complete the final step of transforming Source Star's civilization.
