Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 634 - 620 Floating City
Zang Xingyan, with Bian Yuchai in tow, boarded a small flying vehicle and soared directly into the sky. Just among the layers of clouds, Bian Yuchai was surprised to discover a huge palace floating in the air.
"What is this?" Bian Yuchai was certain that such a thing had not existed above Iridium Star before.
Zang Xingyan was also observing this massive structure that could possibly be as large as a city, this palace filled with the ancient Iridium Star style, had no external walls and featured an open layout. The central core chamber, located on a raised platform, overlooked the other buildings.
"This is actually a ship," Zang Xingyan laughed.
The small flying vehicle soon landed on the land of this floating palace complex without any hindrance.
On the seemingly ancient stone pathway, fluorescent arrows appeared, which surprisingly had a high-tech feel, directing Zang Xingyan towards a specific location.
"Let's go," Zang Xingyan pulled Bian Yuchai along, following the stone path towards the central great hall.
At the entrance of the great hall, Bian Yuchai saw a familiar face.
"Xu Lanzhou? How are you here? Eh, you seem to look different from before," Bian Yuchai exclaimed with surprise. Although she had always resented the fact that Xu Lanzhou was the most beautiful girl among the younger generation of the Twelve Knights of Destiny families, she mostly admired and idolized Xu Lanzhou. The disappearance of the R19 Fleet had saddened her for a long time.
Xu Lanzhou nodded amiably at Bian Yuchai and turned to Zang Xingyan, "I never thought that the last Knight would be you."
Zang Xingyan smiled casually and said, "I knew it since I began living in seclusion in the bamboo forest. I just didn't know how long I'd have to wait."
Curious, Xu Lanzhou asked, "Are you a Star Warrior?"
Ling stepped out and declared, "He is not just a Star Warrior, not even just a master of Star Warriors. If there's one word that can certainly describe him, it would be—'Star God'?"
Zang Xingyan also nodded to Ling and said, "Only someone at my level can understand how great a civilization our Chancellor and the Elder Race he represents are."
Bai Zhongqi also stepped forward slowly, looking at his own Knight. In terms of appearance, Zang Xingyan was indeed a handsome man, probably more so than most of the good-looking men he had seen. Simultaneously, Bai Zhongqi could distinctly feel a mysterious aura emanating from this man, which, however, did not feel threatening.
Star Gods are beings so rare in the history of billions of years in this universe that even the Elder Race considers their appearance a universal miracle. Reaching the state of Star God is what all master Star Warriors aspire to, understanding the principles of the universe, peering into the laws of causality, becoming immensely powerful.
Bai Zhongqi asked, "You've hidden your identity as a Star God for decades, you possess unimaginable power, so why willingly take up the mantle of my Knight, accepting to be my cloud king?"
Zang Xingyan smiled as he bowed to Bai Zhongqi, "Your Majesty, no matter what, I am an Iridium Star citizen. Moreover, with my own strength, trying to make Iridium Star more prosperous isn't that difficult, is it? But I believe that with my assistance, you will definitely be able to realize this wish. Furthermore, as a member of the Elder Race, you still play a very instructive role for me."
Bai Zhongqi asked, "Do you want to walk through parallel universes and live forever like the Elder Race?"
Zang Xingyan shook his head, "That doesn't hold much meaning for me. Universal truths, laws of causality, and such—those are external terms imposed on me, which I don't really want to accept if possible. So now, setting aside all these seemingly profound and complicated issues, what can I do? Because standing too high makes everything I do seem meaningless. Yet people have to choose a way to live, regardless of whether it has meaning or interest."
"That's a pessimistic view," Bai Zhongqi added a comment.
"Yes, but that's generally how things are in the world."
Bian Yuchai was completely shocked at this moment; she couldn't believe her eyes. Xu Lanzhou was alive, and he looked nothing like the last time she saw him—more mature and gallant. Since Zang Xingyan was addressing a man, who looked even younger than him, as your majesty, he could only have one identity.
Iridium Star Chancellor.
Bian Yuchai was utterly nervous, a situation she had never anticipated or wished for in her life. Like the characters out of a myth stepping into reality, this was the situation now. At this moment, she felt restless, wanting to bow but afraid of embarrassing herself, and ended up being unable to speak.

At this, Zang Xingyan waved his hand, "Let's change to a more practical topic, Your Majesty. You have returned to your Empire, and Iridium Star is entering a new era. However, I suspect you already know that the nobility within the United Empire is deeply entrenched, and even with your immense power and the Supreme Command, assimilating Iridium Star might still prove difficult. If reckless actions lead to the people becoming alienated from you, it could prove counterproductive."
Bai Zhongqi asked, "So what do you suggest?"
"Perhaps a bit more patience. After all, the political return of Iridium Star is an inevitable trend. But how to wrest power from the hands of the nobility back into yours will still take some time. The news of your return has already reached the entire Administrative Star, and people are shocked by it. Even the Twelve Families, oh, soon to be eleven, will need a bit of time to digest this news. Just wait a little longer, I will help mediate for you. No matter what you truly intend to implement for the governance of Iridium Star in the future, we need everyone to accept this fact first, and then those who wish to realign themselves will step forward."
Ling disdainfully said, "With the Supreme Command in His Majesty's hands, what trouble can those nobles stir up?"
Zang Xingyan laughed, "His Majesty possesses the Supreme Command to control everything—the production in factories, governmental procedures, fleet warships, all under control. But the United Empire is too vast. Can His Majesty really govern everything? The current Iridium Star officials who understand the situation and know how to govern effectively can indeed ensure the stability of civilisation and the people's livelihood. I absolutely support your return to rule Iridium Star, Your Majesty. However, considering the perspective of the broad masses of Iridium Star citizens, I hope your return is not too arbitrary."
Bai Zhongqi nodded lightly, "The things that need to be grasped and adjusted, I will change them now. And indeed, the transition of the Iridium Star regime will require time. I will first meet with the current prime ministers and senior ministers in the coming days, planning several trips."
"Exactly, that's the idea. You need to demonstrate adequate presence to the people of Iridium Star."
Meanwhile, for the citizens of Iridium Star, looking up at the huge floating city darkening the sky, it was already awe-inspiring enough.
