Chapter 897 The Trial of Lin Qiye!
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Xing Lin.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet at this moment they gleamed with a sharp light.
"Vega? The Grand Inquisition?"
Xinglin nodded quickly, her voice carrying a hint of seriousness.
"Yes, my lord."
Her gaze fell on Lin Qiye.
"The Grand Inquisition is the highest authority in Vega, and the Grand Inquisitor is the highest authority in the Grand Inquisition."
"It is said that the Grand Judge's strength is unfathomable, having reached the peak of the half-step Human King level, and is only one step away from becoming a true Human King."
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
"A half-step peak Human King?"
A slight smile played on his lips.
"interesting."
Looking at Lin Qiye's expression, Xinglin felt a surge of complex emotions.
She had thought that Lin Qiye would be wary of the terrifying Grand Judge.
But judging from his expression, he seemed completely unafraid.
even--
His eyes still gleamed with excitement.
"My lord, the power of that Grand Inquisitor..."
She couldn't help but speak up.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his voice calm.
"A half-step peak Human King?"
He chuckled softly.
"So what?"
Xinglin's body trembled slightly.
She could sense the domineering and confident tone in Lin Qiye's words.
That kind of confidence is not blind arrogance, but the spirit of a true strong person.
"My lord is mighty!"
She immediately knelt down, her voice filled with awe.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the vast sea of stars in the distance.
"Let's put the matter of Vega aside for now."
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"Take care of what you have at hand first."
Jiang Yulan and the others responded in unison.
"Yes, Master!"
Xinglin stood up, her gaze falling on Lin Qiye, her eyes flashing with fanatical light.
"Your Majesty, I have another matter to report."
She took a deep breath.
"The first phase of Project Spark has been even more successful than expected. Many forces that were initially hesitant are now actively seeking to join our project."
Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
"Continue to expand the scale."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of arrogance.
A fanatical light gleamed in the eyes of Jiang Yulan and the others.
"Yes, Master!"
They shouted in unison, their voices filled with barely concealed excitement.
Xinglin also knelt on the ground, her voice filled with a hint of fanaticism.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow you forever!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the vast sea of stars in the distance.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet at this moment they gleamed with a sharp light.
Vega...
Grand Court...
An interpreter of the great emperor...
interesting.
He wanted to see just how this interpreter of the great emperor would interpret the great emperor!
……
The edge of Hydra.
A massive interstellar warship slowly entered.
The warship was entirely black, its surface covered with dense silver runes, radiating a chilling aura.
A huge emblem was engraved on the bow of the warship—
A scale and a scepter stand crossed, symbolizing judgment and punishment.
That is the symbol of the Grand Court of Judgment of Vega.
Inside the warship's command center.
A woman in a silver battle robe stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze fixed on the vast sea of stars before her.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, her demeanor aloof and elegant, and her brows exuded a quiet, authoritative air.
A silver light slowly surged around her, emanating a chilling aura.
That was the aura of a half-step human king.
She is the Grand Inquisitor of the Vega Great Court, the Silver Frost Empress.
"Reporting to you, sir."
A female warrior clad in silver armor strode forward and knelt on one knee.
"The edge of the Hydra constellation has come into view."
Empress Silverfrost nodded slightly.
Her gaze swept across the vast sea of stars, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
"The aura of that ferocious beast has completely disappeared."
Her voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of doubt.
"Could it be that the ferocious beast has been eliminated?"
The female warrior's body trembled slightly.
"Sir, according to intelligence, that ferocious beast has indeed been eliminated."
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Silver Frost Empress.
"Eliminated?"
Her voice held a hint of disbelief.
"That ferocious beast was something even a half-step Human King couldn't destroy, how could it possibly be destroyed?"
The female warrior lowered her head.
"Sir, according to intelligence, the one who destroyed that ferocious beast was a man named Lin Qiye."
"Lin Qiye?"
Empress Silverfrost frowned slightly.
"I've never heard of this name."
Her gaze swept over the female warrior.
"Find out this person's background."
"Yes, sir."
The female warrior accepted the order and withdrew.
Empress Silverfrost stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze fixed on the distant sea of stars.
Her eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet at this moment they shone with a complex light.
That ferocious beast was a key prisoner suppressed by the Vega Grand Court.
Three hundred years ago, it escaped suppression while the Grand Inquisition was off guard and wreaked havoc all the way to Hydra.
And now, it has been destroyed by an unknown nobody in Hydra?
How is that possible?
A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Silver Frost Empress.
"No matter who this person is, the remnants of the Starry Sky Beast must be recovered."
She murmured softly.
"This concerns the revival of His Majesty the Great Emperor."
A silver light began to slowly surge around her.
"Pass on my order: full speed ahead, destination: Hydra constellation."
"Yes, sir!"
……
The main star region of Hydra.
The High Temple.
This is Lin Qiye's core palace in the Hydra constellation.
Lin Qiye sat upright in the main seat, his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the people kneeling respectfully below.
Beside him stood ten female warriors, their eyes filled with fervor.
Behind them were hundreds of newly promoted half-step female war goddesses, all of whom were the best of the first beneficiaries of the Spark Program.
"Owner."
Jiang Yulan stepped forward, her voice carrying a hint of reporting.
"Preparations for the second phase of the Spark Program have been completed, and it is expected to officially launch this month."
Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
"continue."
Ji Changyue followed closely behind: "Master, the entire main star region has been fully incorporated into the coverage of the Spark Project, and 99% of the local forces have already expressed their submission."
Yao Suyun stepped forward: "Master, the Spark Program in the Edge Star Sector is also progressing smoothly, with over a hundred billion people already registered."
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
Hundreds of billions...
This number was more than he had expected.
Hydra has been incorporated into the territory, and its bloodline is spreading at an astonishing rate.
Every star is a resource.
Every galaxy is a resource.
"very good."
Lin Qiye spoke calmly.
At that very moment—
"Report—!"
A hurried voice came from outside the hall.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw two women dressed in magnificent armor walking quickly into the hall.
Their aura was restrained, yet they possessed an imposing presence that commanded respect without anger—the aura of interstellar war gods!
Jiang Yulan's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the two women.
She recognized them.
These two women are female war goddesses from the War King's family.
Once upon a time, the War King was the most powerful man in the entire Hydra constellation, a half-step human king level existence, ruling over countless star systems.
But after witnessing Lin Qiye's strength, he completely submitted, voluntarily relinquishing the title of "King of War," lowering his status to "General of War," and willingly becoming a general under Lin Qiye's command.
Six months ago, he successfully persuaded two female war goddesses in his clan to join the Spark Project and become its role models!
These two female war goddesses, one named Leng Xing and the other Han Yue, are both powerful interstellar war goddesses and are renowned figures throughout the entire Hydra constellation.
Now, their lower abdomens are slightly protruding—the result of Lin Qiye's bloodline.
The two female war goddesses quickly walked to the center of the hall and bowed in unison.
"Your subordinate, Leng Xing (Han Yue), greets your master!"
Their voices were clear and respectful, their eyes filled with a fanatical light.
Lin Qiye's gaze fell on them, and he said calmly, "Get up."
"Thank you, Master!"
Leng Xing took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said in a serious tone, "Master, I have important matters to report."
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back: "Speak."
Leng Xing's body trembled slightly. She could feel the pressure contained in Lin Qiye's gaze. Even though they were thousands of meters apart, that pressure still made her heart race.
"Master, the war general has ordered two of us to come and report—"
Her voice was slightly tense.
"News has arrived from the outermost border galaxy, Far East 977: the Vega Grand Inquisition has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy.
Jiang Yulan's eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp glint flashing in them.
The Vega Grand Court...
She had seen this name in intelligence reports.
That is the highest authority in Vega, controlling the judgment and punishment of the entire Vega constellation.
The Grand Judge is the supreme being of this institution, and it is said that his strength has reached the peak of the half-step human king level, only one step away from becoming a true human king.
Ji Changyue, Yao Suyun, and the others exchanged glances, a hint of seriousness flashing in their eyes.
Leng Xing continued, "Master, after the Grand Tribunal arrived in the Far East 977 star system, it began... began to sabotage our Starfire Project."
Her voice trembled slightly.
"They not only forcibly disbanded the local Spark Program branch, but also arrested tens of thousands of our implementers and tens of millions of Program members, saying they would put them on trial!"
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.
"Anything else?"
Leng Xing took a deep breath, her voice filled with suppressed anger.
"The Grand Inquisition also declared... that our Spark Program was completely contrary to the Great Emperor, completely contrary to the Galactic Empire!"
Her fists clenched tightly.
"They say...they want to judge you, Master!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the hall.
"What?! How dare they disrespect their master?!"
"These ignorant fools! Master, let me go and deal with them!"
"So what if you're at the peak of the half-step Human King realm? Before your master, you're nothing but an ant!"
The ten female war goddesses spoke up one after another, their eyes filled with anger.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at Leng Xing.
"What did the war general say?"
Leng Xing quickly replied, "The war general said that although he is only a soldier under his master, he will never tolerate anyone insulting his master's dignity!"
She paused, her voice tinged with excitement.
"The War General has prepared the warships and is ready to depart at any time! He will head to the Far East 977 star system to capture the people of the Grand Inquisition, at the master's command!"
Lin Qiye looked at Leng Xing quietly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
This war general is quite interesting.
When he first arrived in Hydra, the War King was the most powerful being in the entire Hydra constellation, high above and arrogant.
But after he demonstrated his absolute strength, the War King completely submitted, voluntarily relinquished the title of "War King," and willingly became one of his generals.
Now, he has even volunteered to fight the enemy on his behalf.
"Good. Let the war general in." Lin Qiye said calmly.
Leng Xing and Han Yue exchanged a glance, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes.
They knew that their master's approval of the war general's actions meant that he approved of their family!
Soon, a figure strode in from outside the hall.
All eyes fell on that figure at the same time.
He was a burly middle-aged man, exuding a powerful aura—the aura of a half-step Human King!
He was a great general!
He strode into the main hall, each step carrying a heavy sense of authority.
However, when he reached the center of the hall, he knelt down on one knee without hesitation, his posture extremely respectful.
"Your subordinate greets Your Excellency!"
His voice was loud, but trembled slightly.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the war.
Get up.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Zhan stood up, his gaze falling on Lin Qiye, his eyes flashing with a complex light.
There was awe, reverence, and a hint of guilt that was hard to hide.
"My lord..."
His voice trembled slightly.
"Your subordinate is guilty!"
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
"What crime have you committed?"
Zhan took a deep breath, his voice tinged with suppressed anger.
"My lord, I have failed your trust!"
He suddenly knelt down, his forehead hitting the ground hard.
"As a general under my lord's command, I have allowed the people of the Grand Inquisition to insult my lord's majesty! This is my dereliction of duty! I... I am willing to accept any punishment!"
His voice was trembling.
The atmosphere inside the main hall became heavy.
Jiang Yulan and the others watched this scene quietly, their eyes showing no emotion.
They knew that this posture of war was nothing more than a show of loyalty.
Lin Qiye is the true master, and although the war is powerful, it is still nothing but an ant in front of its master.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the war.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet at this moment they gleamed with a sharp light.
"stand up."
His voice was flat.
Zhan Zheng's body trembled slightly, and he slowly stood up.
"My lord..."
Lin Qiye said calmly, "This is not your fault."
Zhan Zheng's body trembled slightly, and a look of gratitude flashed across his face.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Lord!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the people in the hall.
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"The Vega Grand Court, how dare you disrupt my Spark Project, how dare you insult my authority—"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"very good."
Just two words, yet they made everyone present feel an invisible pressure.
The pressure was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, as if it would crush the entire hall.
Zhan Zheng's expression changed slightly, and an indescribable shock welled up in his heart.
This terrifying pressure seems even stronger than it was six months ago...
How is that possible?!
This speed at which he becomes stronger is even faster than that of the lowest-level martial artists!
Could it really be because of that Spark Program?!
How is that possible...?
Lin Qiye's gaze fell on the war.
"Where is that judge now?"
War hurriedly replied, "Master, Silverfrost is currently in the Far East 977 system, conducting trials on our people..."
A playful glint flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"wait for me?"
He chuckled softly.
"He does have some guts."
He turned around and his gaze fell on Jiang Yulan.
"Yu Lan".
Jiang Yulan quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I am here!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his voice calm.
"Prepare the warships."
A gleam of wild joy flashed in Jiang Yulan's eyes.
"Thank you for your trust, Master! I am willing to be the vanguard!"
Lin Qiye shook his head.
"No."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of arrogance.
"I'll go myself."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the hall.
"The master personally intervened?!"
"This...this is giving the Grand Inquisition far too much credit, isn't it?"
"Master is mighty!"
The ten female war goddesses spoke in unison, their eyes filled with fanatical light.
War wore a fanatical expression on his face, but his mind was elsewhere.
Sure enough, this man wanted to establish his authority himself.
The main reason is that all the women present are carrying this man's child...
She was no match for this man...
So, Silverfrost from Vega, though powerful, was only a half-step human king like himself.
Since that's the case, I should act even more loyal!
"My lord!"
The war general suddenly knelt down, his voice tinged with excitement.
"Your subordinate is willing to follow Your Majesty and conquer the Great Inquisition!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the war general.
His eyes were as deep as an abyss, yet at this moment they gleamed with a sharp light.
"A war general."
"Your subordinate is here!"
Lin Qiye said calmly, "You will lead the way for this expedition."
The war general bowed his head respectfully.
"Yes, Master."
Lin Qiye's gaze swept over the people in the main hall.
"Yu Lan, Chang Yue, Su Yun... the ten of you will stay and guard the main star region."
Jiang Yulan and the other ten female war goddesses quickly responded, "Yes, Master!"
"Select the latest 100 half-step War Gods to join me in the expedition."
A glint of wild joy flashed in the eyes of the last hundred half-step female war goddesses.
"Thank you for your trust, Master! Your humble servant is willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"
Lin Qiye nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the distant starry sky.
Vega...
Grand Court...
An interpreter of the great emperor...
A slight smile played on his lips.
He wanted to see just who this so-called interpreter of the great emperor really was.
The general slowly withdrew from the main hall.
His gaze swept over the half-step female war goddesses, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
There were several familiar faces among them, all young prodigies from his own family, renowned figures throughout the entire main star region.
This filled him with an indescribable bitterness.
One of the women, who looked to be in her early twenties, wore light blue armor and had a cool and noble demeanor, radiating a faint starlight.
That was the newest heir of a family of war generals.
She is the most talented descendant of the War General family in a thousand years. She broke through to the level of War God at a young age and is considered one of the most promising beings in the entire Hydra constellation to become an interstellar war god.
However, now her eyes gleamed with fanaticism as she knelt respectfully in the main hall, awaiting Lin Qiye's orders.
The general, witnessing this scene, felt a surge of indescribable bitterness welling up within him.
Those were the children he had watched grow up, the hope for the future of the family.
He once planned in his heart that once she grew up, he would let her take over part of the family's businesses in the main star region.
But now...
The half-step female war goddesses, their faces filled with excitement, had a fanatical light shining in their eyes, as if they were about to embark on not a war, but a grand celebration.
The person they were about to follow—Lin Qiye—was like an invincible god in their eyes.
And they were willing to give everything for this god.
Including their bodies, their souls, everything about them.
The war general watched this scene, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
Is he envious?
Of course I envy them.
But what can be done...?
……
The Far Eastern 977 Galaxy.
A huge blue planet floats in the void, its surface covered with a dense cluster of buildings—the largest administrative center in the Far East 977 star system.
However, at this moment, a huge black warship is hovering in the orbit of this planet.
The warship was entirely black, its surface covered with dense silver runes, radiating a chilling aura.
On the bow of the warship is a huge emblem—a scale and a scepter crossed, symbolizing judgment and punishment.
That is the symbol of the Grand Court of Judgment of Vega.
Planetary surface.
In a huge square, tens of thousands of women in uniform were escorted in, their wrists clad in gleaming silver shackles, their expressions terrified.
Before them stood a makeshift courtroom.
On the judge's bench, a figure stood silently.
She was a woman dressed in a silver battle robe, her body shimmering with silver light, her temperament cold and aloof, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, yet it exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance, like a high and mighty deity.
She stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze sweeping over the trembling women in the square, a slight, mocking smile playing on her lips.
"Are these the personnel responsible for implementing Project Spark?"
Her voice was cold, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"A bunch of ants, daring to impersonate the great emperor?"
The women in the square trembled violently, but dared not utter a sound.
They could sense that the aura emanating from the woman before them was more terrifying than anything they had ever seen.
It was an aura as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, as if she could annihilate them with a single thought if she so desired.
Empress Silverfrost stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze sweeping over the women kneeling on the ground, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
"According to the Galactic Empire Code!"
Her voice was as cold as frost.
"Any organization or individual that incites or deceives innocent people is committing a serious crime."
"And your so-called 'Spark Project,' under the guise of bloodlines, is actually deceiving these ignorant women!"
Her voice suddenly rose.
"This behavior is blasphemy against the Great Emperor! It is an insult to the Galactic Empire!"
The women in the square trembled even more violently, yet still dared not utter a sound.
The Silver Frost Empress's gaze swept over them, a mocking smile curving her lips.
"I know that many of you are being misled."
Her voice was calm, yet carried a hint of authority.
"The great emperor is merciful and is willing to give you a chance to repent and start anew."
"As long as you are willing to take the initiative to expose the mastermind behind Project Spark and to identify the crimes committed by the man named Lin Qiye—"
She paused.
"You can then be treated leniently."
