I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Fortunately, he had captured all the Legendary powerhouses from the three continents before entering. He had also seized every Venerable Powerhouse he saw. Otherwise, the Venerables of Lin Hua Continent would never have been able to defend the three Divine Dice.

”Let’s go. We’ll head back first. We need to prepare to leave Blue Star.”

...

The first thing Su Ze did after returning to Lin Hua Continent was go see Chen Suifeng.

Chen Suifeng was now serving as the acting sovereign of Lin Hua Continent.

It was an ”acting” position, mainly because his strength had not yet reached the Legendary tier. There were concerns he wouldn’t be able to command public respect, so the temporary title served as a buffer.

Although Su Ze had already decided to leave Blue Star as soon as possible and embark on a journey through the stars, there were still many preparations to make before his departure. He also had many loose ends to tie up on Blue Star.

He had come to see Chen Suifeng this time specifically to discuss these matters.

”Have a seat. I’ll brew you a cup of tea.” Chen Suifeng was a man who enjoyed the finer things in life and had collected many fine teas.

Su Ze took the tea, sipped it, and joked, ”Now that you’re the sovereign, you’ve really moved up in the world. You’re even drinking tea from a Tier Six Tea Tree.”

”I can’t even bear to drink this on a normal day. I only brought it out because you’re here.”

Chen Suifeng looked at Su Ze, overcome with emotion for a moment.

It had been less than a year since he first met Su Ze. Who could have imagined that in just a few short months, the young man would grow from the Butterfly Stage all the way to becoming the number one powerhouse on Blue Star?

Su Ze was now, without a doubt, the strongest powerhouse on Blue Star. Even a Nian Race Legend wielding a divine-grade curio had died at his hands.

The entire power structure of Blue Star had undergone a world-shaking transformation because of his appearance.

Before Chen Suifeng could even ask, Su Ze took the initiative to recount the various experiences he had while receiving the inheritance this time...

However, he didn’t say much about the plight of the Human Race in the universe, glossing over it with just a few words.

When Su Ze mentioned the existence of Zexing, Chen Suifeng’s breathing quickened, and his eyes lit up.

’A massive, hidden, habitable planet! That’s absolutely perfect for the people of Blue Star to immigrate to!’

’If they could migrate all of Blue Star’s humans there, they could finally escape the Nian Race’s control.’

But Chen Suifeng also knew this was impossible. They couldn’t do it. Interstellar migration wasn’t that simple.

They didn’t have the transport capacity to move that many people.

Even considering only Lin Hua Continent, that was a population of nearly three billion, with Luofan Country alone accounting for 1.2 to 1.3 billion of them.

Su Ze’s Magic Cube and the Emerald Spaceship couldn’t possibly hold that many people.

As for the eyeball of the Creation Dream Butterfly, while it contained countless spaces, those spaces were not suitable for transporting people.

Firstly, as the golden energy within it dissipated, some of the internal spaces would become unstable, possibly collapsing or even disappearing. Secondly, living beings inside would unconsciously absorb the dissipating golden energy.

If too many people were placed inside, they would likely absorb all the golden energy in the eyeball, leading to a large-scale collapse of the spaces within.

After all, it was a population in the hundreds of millions, and they wouldn’t just be there for a day or two, but for nearly a month. Su Ze was not willing to take that risk.

”What’s the maximum number of people you can take?” Chen Suifeng asked nervously.

Su Ze thought for a moment and said, ”Around thirty thousand, I think. But I need to reserve ten thousand spots for Dongli.”

The population of Lin Hua Country was several times larger than Dongli’s, and that didn’t even include the other countries. It wasn’t exactly fair for Dongli to take ten thousand spots, but of course, Chen Suifeng wouldn’t have any objections. After all, Su Ze was from Dongli.

”Then I’ll send out the notice as soon as possible and arrange the twenty thousand migration spots,” Chen Suifeng said seriously.

In his eyes, these thirty thousand people represented the future of Blue Star.

If Blue Star remained enslaved by the Nian Race in the future, then the thirty thousand people Su Ze was taking would be the continuation of the Blue Star Human Race—a legacy of life, a new hope.

Su Ze nodded. In truth, both his Magic Cube and the Emerald Spaceship had vast interiors. If he utilized every bit of space, he could take far more than thirty thousand people.

At least one hundred thousand would be no problem.

But that would mean people sleeping on the floors and crammed into the warehouses. Even the energy rooms, training grounds, and the cultivation chamber of the Emerald Spaceship would probably be packed full of people.

But Su Ze had no desire to turn his spaceships into slums like those in Luofan Country. There would be people everywhere, jostling for space, and the sight alone would be maddening.

After all, this was a long-haul flight of nearly a month. Su Ze had to consider everyone’s daily needs—food, lodging, and personal space. They needed room to move, and space had to be reserved for storing supplies.

”Mr. Feng, are you coming too?” Su Ze already knew the answer in his heart but couldn’t help asking. He hoped Chen Suifeng would go with him to Zexing.

Chen Suifeng shook his head. ”I won’t be going. Having you on Zexing is enough. I can still be of some use here on Blue Star.”

Mr. Ke had entrusted him with a heavy responsibility; he would never abandon the people of Lin Hua Continent.

Su Ze didn’t press the matter further.

He knew many others would make the same choice as Chen Suifeng, people like Gu Chengguang.

Although Su Ze wished everyone he cared about could escape Blue Star with him, he respected their individual choices, knowing they had their own principles to uphold.

”Before I leave, I’ll clear out the hidden threats for you,” Su Ze said. ”There are currently three.”

”First, the Pope. He’s the highest priority. He should be the strongest Nian Race member on Blue Star right now. Without the boost from a divine-grade curio, I suspect he’s even stronger than Jiang Pingle and the others.

”So my next priority is to root this guy out.

”The second threat is the Filth Earth Organization. Their leader is very powerful. If no one can handle him after I leave, it’ll be a huge problem. So he must be eliminated too.

”The third is the Aberrant Beasts. This one, you’ll have to deal with on your own.”

Previously, the Aberrant Beasts had been beaten into submission, and they had recently adopted a yielding posture toward the Human Race. But with Su Ze clearing out a large number of Venerable and Legendary powerhouses, the Aberrant Beasts were getting bold again.

If Su Ze left and Lin Hua Continent had no Legendary powerhouses at all, he was afraid they wouldn’t be able to withstand the fangs of the Aberrant Beasts.

However, you couldn’t just wipe out the Aberrant Beasts like you would other enemies.

This was because the Aberrant Beasts were not only humanity’s enemies, but also a resource they needed for evolution.

Therefore, to solve the threat of the Aberrant Beasts, you must strengthen yourselves. Lin Hua Continent needs at least one or two Legendaries to hold the fort.

Su Ze took out a large handful of Bloodline Crystals and gave them to Chen Suifeng. These were all obtained from killing Nian Race members, including the Moon God-grade Bloodline Crystals from killing Jiang Pingle, Marina, and others.

”Mr. Feng, cultivate a few more Legendary-tier powerhouses. Especially you. It would be best if you complete your sixth evolution before I leave.”

”I know.” Chen Suifeng sounded resigned. He felt the pressure too and knew he had to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible.

”You should keep half of these Bloodline Crystals. The thirty thousand people going with you will need resources for their future training.”

Su Ze laughed. ”I’ve still got who-knows-how-many Nian Race powerhouses locked up on my ship. I’ll have plenty of Bloodline Crystals once I kill them. Besides, do you really think there’s a shortage of this stuff in the universe?”

Speaking of resources, Su Ze remembered that he had plundered the entire national treasury of Lin Hua Country. He had also seized a huge amount of high-grade resources from the many powerhouses he had killed and captured.

He immediately took out all the resources and discussed their distribution with Chen Suifeng.

Su Ze himself had no use for these resources. As someone on the verge of godhood, even Tier Six resources were useless to him.

However, he was about to embark on a long journey with thirty thousand people and needed to stock up on many things. Moreover, Chen Suifeng’s intention was for Su Ze to focus on developing Zexing.

As for Blue Star, no matter how many resources it had or how well it developed, it would all be meaningless as long as it remained under the control of the Nian Race.

Ultimately, at Chen Suifeng’s urging, Su Ze agreed to keep half of the resources. The other half, he left for Lin Hua Continent.

”Mr. Feng, you don’t have to be so pessimistic. Lin Hua Continent should develop as it sees fit. Who knows, maybe I’ll be back to liberate you all in a few years.

”Also, if you run into a life-or-death crisis, send someone to Zexing through the external inheritance point to ask me for help. And as for you, don’t make a pointless sacrifice when the situation is hopeless. If things go south, just teleport away from Blue Star immediately.”
