Ming You, who traveled with a spirit beast cultivation system, had never seen a "spirit beast" with an attribute panel for nineteen years, until he came to work at a dilapidated animal sana...
While ordinary people in the Star Alliance were still discussing the "happy funeral", the Lion King was found and the traitorous spy was caught. It was like a bolt from the blue, shocking the people.
"What?! Even the Zerg have people joining them? Is this true? This is pure inhumanity, right?!"
"There's evidence in the Lion King's black box, and the other party has confessed, so it must be true. This is too tragic. How can Your Majesty and Your Highness bear this?"
"It's so painful to think that Mr. Gu Hai, one of the pioneers of the new spiritual beast science, died in the betrayal of a spy."
"Yes, if Mr. Gu Hai were still alive, the promotion of the new spiritual beast studies would definitely be much faster. He figured out how to become a spiritual beast master on his own, so he must have a lot of experience."
"It's not just Mr. Gu Hai. The logistics staff on the Lion King are mostly young and promising scientific and technological talents. My teacher has fainted from crying and is now in the hospital. He said that the spies have almost caused a talent gap in many of our fields. Fortunately, Mr. Ming has returned."
"I watched the documentary. At the time, the Star Alliance was plagued by internal and external troubles, and post-war scientific research was almost entirely controlled by diehard conservatives. Many talented researchers had no choice but to follow His Majesty Arthur and establish new research bases on the front lines of the battlefield. The Lion King was not only an important logistical supply ship, but also a key research base."
"The more I watch the documentary, the more I feel that His Majesty and His Royal Highness have it so hard."
"The Big Cat family doesn't usually get involved in affairs. We're nominally a constitutional monarchy. Only when something serious happens do they step in to save the day. That's why the people of the Star Alliance cling to the Big Cat family becoming emperor. But honestly, that's unfair to the Big Cat family."
"We can only fervently support the Big Cat family... Alas, after the spirit beast incident became public, I realized our royal family is entirely made up of Big Cats. I used to wonder why they were so trusted by the higher-ups, yet their attempts to depose the emperor were always rejected. So it's the Big Cats, that's all. Big Cats are territorial, but they're also lazy... really lazy... it's tough on the Big Cats."
"I know it's unfair to the Big Cats. But our emperor is a big cat! Our royal family is a big cat! Our princes, princesses, and royal families are all big cats! If the Star Alliance loses the big cats, it will lose its most important identity! We are the Cat Kingdom! This cannot be changed!"
"... Actually, I could choose a big dog as the emperor, but I'm afraid the big dog will die from overwork. I'd rather let a lazy big cat do it myself."
"Stop digressing. Aren't we talking about the Lion King? I heard the spy was caught this time and is related to the Xisang family?"
"Any inside information?"
"Yes. The happy funeral caused a complete rift between His Highness and the old scholar clique. They began to split into factions. This can be attributed to the tainted witness."
"As for this matter... I wonder if His Highness has already planned it."
"Your Highness certainly can't predict the specific follow-up, but using a tough attitude to deal with this group of people and force them to split up is definitely a strategy that Your Highness has formulated long ago. Your Highness is awesome!"
"Once again, I pay my highest respects to His Majesty. When the Lion King Memorial Hall is completed, I will be the first to go and pay my respects. Many of the Lion King martyrs were my idols. I am moved to tears."
"I'm in tears too. The Queen has been my idol since I was little. I've always dreamed of shaking her hand after I achieved something great. It's so sad."
"My mom has cried several times. She cries whenever she hears news about The Lion King. The Queen is her contemporary, and it's said that most of her peers are fans of the Queen. Sigh."
…
While ordinary netizens were praying for the martyrs, expressing disbelief, or sadness and frustration, the Lingshou internal forum was filled with anger.
If Xiao Tianmiao hadn't been frantically deleting posts, they would have almost wiped out the forum.
In this forum, they get more inside information.
The case of the Lion King's route coordinates being leaked was indeed solved thanks to a tainted witness.
Mingyou's sudden proposal of a suona coffin dance accompanied by electronic music made those who were still hoping for luck completely despair and began to look for their own ways out.
The interests of the high-level families are closely connected. Even if one has not done anything bad, he is still worried that others may have other leverage over him and dare not act rashly.
If they draw a clear line with the other party, they will have to bear the consequences of being dragged into the water by the other party.
The heads of those families kept calculating the gains and losses, and felt that their brains were almost not enough.
So they turned into spirit animals and tried to solve the problem using intuition.
Humans always think too much, unlike spirit animals who can follow their hearts.
They lay on the ground, their tails swinging weakly, their ears drooping, and they held a bag of new-flavored spirit beast food in their paws and poured it into their mouths.
As time went by, they finally understood, completely understood.
His Majesty and His Highness had already staged the coffin dance, clearly showing no sign of compromise. There was no point in them pretending to be dead.
Fleeing to another galaxy with their family? In the past, they wouldn't have cared less. Since their assets had been transferred, what was wrong with them?
But now... is there any delicious spirit beast food in the outer galaxy? Are there any useful spirit beast props? Are there any fun spirit beast games? Are there any promising future spirit beast masters?
Are they going to follow the example of the spirit beasts from those forces that are clinging to the chaos galaxy, holding huge piles of cash but only able to buy high-priced defective products in the dark market?
I'm rich and surrounded by beautiful women, but I have to eat expired food? I have no dedicated spirit animal doctor and I have to fend for myself when I get sick? When I get old and develop spirit animal paralysis, I can only stay in the holographic network and be isolated?
Why? (Pats the ground)! Isn't it all about living a good life? Isn't it all about giving my whole family a good life? If my descendants can't even get into Spirit Beast Kindergarten, losing out right at the starting line, won't their lives be ruined?!
No, even if I give away most of my fortune and start from scratch, as long as I remain in the Star Alliance, I can continue to enjoy the Star Alliance's benefits for spirit beasts. Even if I suffer a little, my descendants won't be unable to drink spirit beast milk powder and have to rely on expired spirit beast biscuits and paste!
The leaders of the spirit beast families immediately held an excited meeting.
When everyone heard what he described, that their children would have to eat porridge made from expired spirit beast food, secretly log into the Star Alliance's website using someone else's ID to learn spirit beast early childhood education courses, and if they were sick they would have to rely on the few words on the Star Alliance's spirit beast website to teach themselves and save themselves, they all shuddered.
Each galaxy's primary combat power is different. Other galaxies lack spirit beasts, and naturally lack the supporting facilities and benefits for spirit beasts. Without the Star Alliance, they must either give up evolving into spirit beasts or forgo all spirit beast benefits and struggle to save themselves.
But the pinnacle of superpowers is the spirit beast. If they lose the spirit beast, their family will lose its high-end combat power, and even if they go to the next galaxy, they will soon be at the mercy of others.
The alien galaxies risked the wrath of the Star Alliance by accepting "political refugees" for their money and their power. Without power, they would not be able to keep their money.
If you want to escape to the chaotic star zone, you will need even more strength.
"New spiritual beast studies have already extended to the realm of ordinary psychics," the head of the spiritual beast family said solemnly. "Mr. Ming has already figured out how S-level psychics can quickly break through bottlenecks. With Mr. Ming's talent, Star Alliance's psychic research will surely advance by leaps and bounds. By then, we won't even be able to compete with ordinary psychics, let alone spiritual beasts."
"The Star Alliance is our home, our roots, the place where we were born and raised. All our strength and wealth are based on the Star Alliance. Without the Star Alliance, we are like rootless duckweed, a kite with a broken string, and it is almost impossible for us to live a good life."
The head of the spirit beast slapped the ground vigorously with his claws. "We have indeed broken the law, but we have not committed treason! We haven't! It doesn't matter if we lose our current wealth or even go to jail. We won't be deported if we haven't committed treason! I'd rather go to jail than go hungry!"
His family members were speechless.
You've been talking about a lot of truths for a long time, so the last sentence is what you really mean, right?
However, put yourself in their shoes. If they had been hungry for most of their lives and were suddenly able to eat their fill, they would shudder at the thought of how hungry they felt in the past and would definitely not want to go back.
Who still goes hungry these days?
As the most powerful spiritual beast, it has been starving.
"There's food in prison too," a small spirit beast stammered. "If you want to escape, go ahead. I want to stay. I'm afraid of starving."
His mother hugged him and said, "Don't worry, dear boy. We will not leave as a family. You will not go to jail."
His father nodded vigorously. "At most I'll be fined for my involvement. It doesn't matter if I don't make any money. I can still earn money. I can go out and work as a salesperson and keep you and your mother fed."
Although the S-class psychic was a bit useless, he still had the ability to earn some food money. Now that the Chaos Star Region was full of gold, he could just go there and start over.
"I'm old and can't run anymore. I'd starve to death even if I ran to another galaxy. I'm willing to go to jail for you."
"Isn't it just confiscation of property? But contribution points won't be deducted, and you can continue to complete Star Alliance contribution missions in the future. It's still okay to barely make ends meet."
"I guess I'll just lose my job. Losing my job is nothing. It's better than starving to death."
“I will never let my children eat expired spirit beast biscuit paste!!!”
"Mom, I want to go to school. I don't want to study at home..."
"I'm not leaving. I'm not going anywhere. The Star Alliance is so great. Only the Star Alliance is suitable for spiritual beasts to live."
"I've been stuck at S-rank for so long. Now that Mr. Ming has figured out a way to break through this bottleneck, I absolutely won't leave the Star Alliance."
The spirit beasts and the people with special abilities spoke one after another, leaving the ordinary family members speechless.
The family business was built by these people, so what can they say? Besides, the disaster was also caused by these people, and it has nothing to do with them. They didn't need to leave in the first place.
Thus, the future of a family was determined.
In order to avoid falling into a situation where they could only eat expired food, or even not be able to fill themselves up with expired food, they resolutely knocked on the door of His Majesty the Golden Lion and confessed everything.
His Majesty the Golden Lion's door kept being knocked on, and he was so annoyed that he pulled Arthur out of the luxurious cat bed with a frame made of gems and a lining of spirit beast fur, and dragged him to the palace to face the spirit beasts who were swarming in to confess.
Most spirit beasts didn't commit any serious mistakes, they just knew some inside information.
In the past, they chose to play it safe.
Now, they choose spirit beast cookies.
His Majesty Aldrich and Arthur pieced together the truth and uncovered the spy from the evidence brought by these people.
Through interrogation and search, they found evidence of these people's connection with the Zerg, and the coordinates of the Lion King after they were misled into deviating from their course and entering a trap.
After Xiao Tianmao's calculations, they successfully found the wreckage of the Lion King that was swept away by the space turbulence.
Even someone as imaginative as Arthur hadn't expected that just a coffin dance could make such great progress in their stagnant investigation.
No, this cannot be called "great progress", but it is a direct space jump to "complete success".
This is also the good luck brought by Mingyou.
But Mingyou, who brings good luck, is lying on the hospital bed and has been in a coma for three days.
All instruments showed that Mingyou was in good physical condition and was just in a deep sleep.
The doctor speculated that Mingyou was overexerting himself and was relying on sleep to recover his mental strength. There are similar cases in history.
But no one knows when Mingyou will wake up.
Arthur turned into a little black cat, lay on Mingyou's forehead, and used his belly to keep Mingyou's forehead warm.
He suddenly didn't want to do anything or go anywhere. He just wanted to stay here forever.
When the eldest brother heard the news that his sister-in-law had died in the war, did he feel like him, that his entire soul had followed his sister-in-law, leaving only an empty shell, with even his thoughts stagnant?
Fortunately, Mingyou was just asleep.
"Wake up quickly. Every time you wake up, you will add 10,000 words to your self-criticism." The little black cat stretched out its limbs and lay on Mingyou's forehead like a black catworm.
Mingyou's eyelids twitched, but his mind was still in a deep sleep.
…
"Ahhhhhh, I want to go back! The self-criticism is already 30,000 words long!" Apia Mingyou screamed, holding his cheeks.
He floated back and forth on the hospital bed, trying to return to his body, but no matter which angle he tried, he ended up just passing through his body, which was useless.
"Stay calm." said the system.
Apia Mingyou's lower body had turned into a ball of smoke. He was like the genie in Aladdin's magic lamp, twisting in the air in an "S" shape. "I can't stay calm, ah ah ah, a 30,000-word self-review, ah ah ah."
System: "It's no use not staying calm. He can't find you, so you can't go back. If you can't go back, you can't complete the subsequent tasks. If you can't complete the subsequent tasks, you can only be a sleeping beauty for the rest of your life."
Apia Mingyou burst into tears, and his tears were like smoke that flew away with the wind as soon as they flowed out: "System mom, system dad, please help me!"
The system is silent.
Apia Mingyou's eyes were filled with tears: "System mom, system dad, please help me!"
System: "...I have no gender. I'm neither your father nor your mother. Forget it. Since you've given me self-awareness, I'll make an exception this time."
Apia Mingyou: "Woof!"
System: "Don't bark like a dog. You are not a dog."
Apia Mingyou: "Meh!"
System: "...Alpaca is not a sheep."
The system's small light ball complained as it flew into the star network.
In a place that looked like a cat's nest in the Star Network, little Tian Miao was holding a Q-version Mingyou pillow, crying and biting it.
System light ball: "..." This fellow must be crazy.
"Who are you, meow!" When the ball of light got closer, Xiao Tian Miao realized its existence. He was so frightened that his back arched high, his ears were pulled back like airplane ears, his tail exploded into a fairy wand, and even his black curly hair almost exploded into straight hair. Threatening roars continued to come out of his throat.
System: "...I am Mingyou's system father."
"Meow?" Xiaotian meow tilted his head.
System: "Tell Dahei a message. Mingyou is in the ward. If he continues to be withdrawn and refuses to feel Mingyou's presence, save Mingyou. I will take Mingyou with me and continue traveling through time and find someone else to marry."
"Meow!" Xiaotian Miao's fur exploded again.
The system's small light ball drifted away slowly. Xiao Tian Miao still didn't detect any trace of the small light ball's data flow, as if what he saw before him was an illusion.
Little Tian Miao's fur stood up again, and he rushed out in that angry posture, rushing out of Arthur Cat's light brain.
"Boss! Don't sleep, don't sleep! Your father-in-law is angry!" The holographic projection of Xiao Tianmiao roared.
Arthur the Cat didn't even raise his eyelids. "Why are you so angry? My father-in-law was sent to hell by a bullet a long time ago."
"It's not that fake father-in-law, it's the system's real father-in-law! The educational computer that raised Xiaoyou!" Xiao Tianmiao continued to roar, "The real father-in-law is here to find me! If you can't wake Xiaoyou up today, he will take Xiaoyou away from the Star Alliance!"
Arthur Cat's eyes suddenly widened. "Are you kidding me? Xiaoyou said his optical brain has no self-awareness... No, you're not kidding me. Is there a video?"
"Nothing." Xiao Tian Miao said with his ears drooping in frustration. He didn't know if Arthur would believe him without any evidence.
"Then the system father-in-law must be real," Arthur Cat said, "An intelligent AI that can leave no trace in front of you must be an AI from a higher-dimensional civilization. What else did the father-in-law say? Any clues?"
When Xiao Tian Miao heard what Arthur said, he immediately believed him. His drooping ears stood up, and his tail couldn't help but lift up, with the tip of his tail circling around. "There's a clue! Father-in-law said that Xiao You is in the ward. But Xiao You was already in the ward?"
Arthur Cat was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, stood up from Mingyou's forehead, and began to look around.
His mental power continued to scan the ward, but still found nothing.
I can't find it, anywhere. My mental strength can't find it, my heart's strength can't find it. Where is Xiaoyou? Is my ability not enough?
Arthur Cat suppressed the anxiety in his heart.
He immediately notified all his subordinates and asked them to come back.
They signed a spirit beast contract with Xiaoyou. If one person couldn't feel it, then if everyone gathered together, maybe they could feel something.
"Your Highness, are you serious?" Herman asked seriously, "Does Xiaoyou's optical brain AI really have self-awareness?"
"I believe in Xiaotian." Arthur Cat still squatted on Mingyou's forehead. "Perhaps higher-dimensional civilizations strictly prohibit the education of light-computer AI and require direct communication with the people they guide, so as to prevent the AI from making wrong judgments due to emotions."
"But Xiaoyou is in imminent danger, and the AI has to speak out to remind us?" Yan Yi frowned. "Whether this is true or not, we can only believe it."
The others nodded.
It's better to have something to do than to just wait.
Little Tian Miao squatted beside Arthur Cat, feeling a little unhappy.
Arthur and Mingyou are still the best. Arthur and Mingyou never doubt him.
Mingyou came to him for help in a critical moment; Arthur believed him immediately.
Although as an AI, he understands how absurd what he has experienced is and it is normal to be suspected by others, but he likes the irrational Arthur and Mingyou.
So he just wants to be the AI of Arthur and Mingyou.
Little Sky Meow moved a little closer to Arthur Cat.
Arthur the cat felt the approach of Little Sky Meow's holographic projection, and with a flick of his tail, he circled Little Sky Meow's holographic projection, just like treating his own kitten.
Xiaotian Miao's tail immediately stood up, and the tip of its tail drew circles happily.
…
"Your partners are not stupid." The system's old father-in-law light ball squatted above Mingyou's head, watching the spirit beasts fill the ward, trying hard to release their unskilled mental power to search every corner of the ward, and commented in a mature manner.
Apia Mingyou's body became more and more solid. He smiled and said, "It's great to have everyone here, but Tongzi, why did I become a ghost?"
The old father-in-law of the system sneered: "When you need me, call me System Dad, and when you don't, call me Tongzi."
Apia Mingyou immediately said, "Dad!" Hey, didn't the system say that he has no gender?
Although she has no gender, she has been following a man since she awakened her self-awareness, so she tends to think she is a male. The old father-in-law snorted again and said, "Haven't you seen the mecha war anime? Haven't you seen high-energy bodies floating naked?"
Mingyou recalled that he had indeed seen a naked mecha war animation. This kind of mecha war animation was accompanied by singing while fighting.
Ugh, that's a bad association. He can't sing, so is it okay for him to play the suona naked?
As he was thinking, a suona really appeared at his hand.
Huh?
System Father-in-law: "Don't you want to play the suona? One knowledge point is enough for one use. You're welcome."
Apia Mingyou: "...Thank you, Dad."
With suona in hand, the world is mine. Let me start with a song of awesome love!
Wait, it seems that in Macross, the only thing floating naked is Gundam? Never mind.
Knowing he was about to be rescued, Apia Mingyou puffed up his cheeks and breathed deeply: "Dudududu, dududu! Dudududu, dududu! Dudududu, dudududu, dududududu!"
All the spirit beasts in the ward, except for the big blue seal without ears, simultaneously raised their ears, turned their heads towards Apia Mingyou, and revealed their inverted triangle eyes.
Apia Mingyou twisted his body and blew harder and harder: "Dududududu, dudu~~~!"
The system father above his head had long disappeared.
Arthur Cat laughed angrily: "You are very energetic."
Apia Mingyou: "Beep?"
Arthur the Cat: "Come back here!"
Apia Mingyou put away his suona and floated towards Arthur Cat: "Dahei! Everyone! You finally saw me!"
I pounce! I… Ehhhhhhhh? What's sucking me in?!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
"Wow!" Mingyou suddenly opened his eyes.
"Xiaoyou!"
"You finally woke up!"
"Wuwuwu Xiaoyou."
"I was scared to death."
"Are you okay? Are you okay?"
"Stop pushing, stop pushing, make everything smaller!"
A group of little furry balls jumped onto the hospital bed and huddled around Mingyou.
Mingyou immediately sat up and hugged himself on both sides, looking as if nothing had happened and in great spirits.
"Don't move! There's a probe still on your hand!" The little black cat rolled onto the quilt and roared because Mingyou suddenly stood up.
Mingyou and the little furry balls immediately quieted down.
At this time, the doctors came in one after another at the call of Xiaotian Miao, and threw all the little furry balls, including Arthur the cat, out of the ward very coldly and ruthlessly.
Mingyou stayed in the ward for another two days, completed all the examinations, and was kept in the hospital for observation for one night before he was allowed to be discharged.
As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he started a live broadcast, using his own spirit beast to sing the "Great Love" that he had not finished blowing when he was a ghost, to the audience who were worried about him.
Mingyou fainted on Martyrs Star. Because the incident happened suddenly, the news was not completely blocked. The news of his "serious illness" had already spread on the Internet, but because it had not been long, the matter had not had time to ferment.
Now Mingyou has started a live broadcast, playing a brainwashing song with great energy. Naturally, the pessimistic speculations about his health among the people have disappeared. Instead, some people have started to discuss that judging from the way Mingyou loves the suona, maybe he had a part in the incident of carrying the coffin with a bear.
Maybe the Suona Military Band was trained by Mingyou.
"Seeing clearly but not speaking out. As Ming Xiaoyou's partner, how could he not help his spirit beast? But if His Highness wants to protect Xiaoyou and not let him appear on camera, we will pretend we don't know."
Ordinary people gave thumbs up. Yes, yes, we knew nothing. We didn't know that such a mischievous Mr. Ming would definitely interfere in a happy funeral.
"Okay, we're exposed." The little black cat lay on top of Mingyou's head, and kept hitting Mingyou's forehead with its claws.
Mingyou smiled.
Even if he is exposed, he will always stand on the same front with his spirit beast partners.
"Where is my system father-in-law? Can I talk to him for a while?" asked the little black cat.
He is very curious about higher-dimensional civilizations.
Mingyou shook his head. "System Dad has disappeared again. No matter how I poke him, he says he has no self-awareness and is just ordinary system intelligence."
The little black cat said, "Forget it. Maybe their rules forbid contact with us. We should just pretend we know nothing and not cause any trouble for him, lest he get punished."
Mingyou nodded vigorously. He thought so too.
However, after knowing that System Dad really existed, he felt that the torture he had suffered in the past was nothing.
He was not alone, talking to himself in front of an unconscious system.
System Dad has always been with him, and someone has always cared for and loved him.
He is not alone.
Mingyou's long-standing knot in his heart finally disappeared completely at this moment.
The moment he came to his senses, Mingyou felt that his mental strength seemed to have increased a lot.
"You went through this once, and your soul left your body and you almost died. Do we really need to hold a memorial service?" The little black cat started to get down to business. "Can you handle it?"
Mingyou said seriously, "We have to hold on. I'm fine this time, and I'm sure I'll be fine next time. Just get through this level and everything will be fine. This is the main quest, you have to do it. If you don't, there will be a penalty."
"What's the punishment?" asked the little black cat.
Mingyou: “…I can’t say.” Actually, no.
The little black cat sighed deeply. "Alright, as long as you bring out your system dad, I won't be able to do anything about it. But based on your main quest, I'm even more convinced of the goodwill of the higher-dimensional civilization towards us."
He paused, his ears drooping as he spoke, "I'm so disappointed in you."
The system lets Mingyou take care of their food, drink, birth, old age, sickness and death. Now he is even helping to find the martyrs. Isn't it a sign of being disappointed in his friends or something that he can't stand it at all?
"Don't worry, I'll be absolutely fine." Mingyou patted his chest.
The little black cat jumped onto Mingyou's legs, then kicked Mingyou in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
Mingyou clutched his chest and groaned, "It hurts, it hurts, Dahei, what are you doing?"
"A 30,000-word self-criticism, not a single word less." The little black cat gritted his teeth as he thought about the days when his mentality exploded.
Mingyou wailed: "Huh?!!!"
The little black cat left Mingyou lying on the ground pretending to be dead and walked away angrily.
If I don’t teach Chunyou a lesson, he will definitely dare to do it again next time!
Mingyou began to write his self-criticism with great effort, and Arthur and his subordinates began to arrange a memorial meeting for the martyrs.
The timing was perfect. A dozen days later, it would be the day when the war against the Zerg invasion began, which was also the anniversary of the Anti-Zerg War.
The Lion King's return was indeed worthy of a grand memorial, but a dozen days of preparation was a bit too tight. Arthur and his staff had no choice but to return to their demanding overtime schedule, staying out all night for the entire ten days. Mingyou was accompanied only by his alpaca and Tibetan fox brothers.
It was the first time Mingyou was completely away from his partner, and he couldn't help but suffer from insomnia.
But everyone is busy now, Mingyou gritted his teeth and persevered.
After getting through it, Mingyou found that it was not impossible for him to sleep alone.
Arthur was worried for a few days, but after Mingyou kept assuring him that it was fine for him to sleep alone and Mingyou's daily physical examination report was sent to him, he listened to Mingyou's request and let Mingyou learn to sleep alone.
Mingyou's fellow spirit beasts were all weeping. Xiaoyou had completely grown up.
The big Tibetan fox and alpaca who sleep with me every day: “…” Yes, we are not considered human.
After more than ten days of busy work, the martyrs' memorial meeting was successfully held and broadcast live by official media.
What’s different this time is that Mingyou will also attend the memorial service.
This was the first time Mingyou appeared in public as a royal member and wearing royal formal attire.
The media fabricated countless milestone significances for his appearance, making it seem as if Mingyou was going to run for some high-ranking official position next.
The spirit beasts present scoffed at the media's speculation.
Obviously, Mingyou appeared as a royal member this time only because this was the first big event after his official marriage to His Royal Highness Arthur.
Moreover, the Lion King martyrs have returned, and the Queen is Mingyou's sister-in-law, so Mingyou will of course attend.
What surprised them was that after the regular procedures of the Martyrs' Conference, another procedure was added that they could not understand.
There is a place like an altar in the Martyrs' Cemetery, with high-energy materials and incomprehensible machines placed everywhere.
A scientific researcher wearing the uniform of "Mingyou Research Institute" was standing in front of the machine, operating it nervously, not knowing what he was doing.
Everyone else, including Emperor Aldrich, left the altar, and the army surrounded the altar, as if they were guarding against something.
Their Lord Arthur and the ten heroes transformed back into spirit beasts and stood in a circle around Mingyou, each with a serious expression, as if they were ready for battle.
Mingyou looked up at the sky with a nervous look on his face.
"What are they doing?"
The audience who were watching the live broadcast of the memorial service for the martyrs were crying so hard that they were choked by the tears that flowed back.
"I don't know. Does it look like some new prayer ritual?"
"Could it be a memorial ceremony for the spirit beasts on the Spirit Beast Master Planet?"
"But you don't have to be so serious, right? It's like you're testing some top-secret weapon."
"Top-secret weapons aren't broadcast live. You should say it's like launching a new exploration rocket."
"Then there's no need to launch it at the Martyrs' Cemetery, right? I don't understand."
Not only did the ordinary audience not understand, even the spirit beasts present tilted their heads in confusion.
Good man, what are you doing? How come we haven't even heard of it?
"Big Black." Just when the spirit beasts couldn't help but whisper to each other in telepathy, Mingyou reached out to the big black cat.
The big black cat walked to Mingyou, and the other spirit beasts changed their positions and surrounded the big black cat and Mingyou in the middle.
"Begin." Mingyou hadn't finished speaking when his mind power enveloped his partner.
The heart power of his spirit beast companions also erupted, enveloping the others. Layer upon layer of heart power fluctuations intertwined, forming a pale blue shield visible even to the audience watching the live broadcast.
The ring around the big black cat's neck began to glow.
His body gradually split into long-scarfed tigers of different colors. Then the long-scarfed tigers of different colors roared to the sky at the same time, jumped into the air, and merged into one in mid-air.
The ring on Mingyou's hand also began to glow, the light swallowed him whole, and then turned into a beam of light rushing towards Arthur Tiger in the air.
Arthur Tiger's body suddenly expanded and turned into a cloud of mist, covering the entire planet, and all instruments began to alarm.
"A high-energy reaction has occurred. A high-energy reaction has occurred. Energy value detection is impossible!"
Mingyou looked up at the light that appeared in the mist: "Dahei! Z move, appear, our miracle!"
The mist contracted, revealing a large cat head. The mist-covered cat head roared toward the sky, and the bright points of souls in every corner of the universe seemed to hear the call. Small spatial vortices appeared around them.
All the light points of the souls were thrown into the vortex of space and jumped to the sky above the altar of the Martyr Star which had already fallen into darkness.
The audience in the live broadcast room saw fireflies all over the sky.
"Welcome home." His Majesty Emperor Aldrich stood at attention and saluted.
All soldiers stood at attention and saluted.
Everyone on the Martyrs Star looked up in a daze, watching as the light spots in the sky turned into familiar figures, waving at them happily.
How is that possible?
How is that possible!
"Welcome home." Mingyou opened his arms to the sky.
"Go home? Could it be..."
"Is it the soul of a martyr? No way, no way?"
"Fuck!"
"Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home, woooooo..."
"I'll book a flight to Martyr Star right away!"
"We're back, we're all back!"
"Is this a miracle?"

They seemed to have paved a road of light, connecting to an unknown distance.
Specks of light slanted down and poured into Arthur's body.
Arthur's heart suddenly moved. He seemed to sense a power that had been hidden deep within his body but could not be mobilized.
But this power soon died down, as if waiting for an opportunity to be awakened again.

Arthur shook his head. He looked up, and like the others, he continued to watch the returning martyrs go away.

The author has something to say:
End. Extra chapters will begin tomorrow.
The next book I will write is "There Are Always Monsters Disturbing My Studies", a sweet and refreshing novel of about 300,000 words.
After the adjustment, I continued to write a long article "Did the Strongest Omega Rabbit Aotian Cry Today?", an alternative ABO article with the same silly, cute and second-year style as this article (What can ABO eat?).
The pre-collection of copywriting has started. You can jump to my author column and bookmark my column by the way. You can start working seamlessly and there will be no shortage of articles to read.
