Chapter 452: 202, Earth Leader
In the vast hall, Qi Lingxiao, Chu Hongjun, and Irenado all looked at the group of intimidating wisdom puppets across from them.
“Dean Chu, are these people… really puppets?”
Irenado couldn’t help but transmit telepathically: “Why do I feel they are no different from living people?”
“The highest level of robots is 100% simulation.” Chu Hongjun transmitted: “These puppets were obtained by Lin Qing from the Vacuum Tomb, originating from a second-level civilization affiliated with the Primordial Realm, converted into information life, and now reincarnated through puppet bodies. You can consider them as true life forms.”
Qi Lingxiao also transmitted: “No, are these puppets really Star Abyss Ninth Layer combat power?”
Chu Hongjun transmitted: “The combat-oriented puppets are Star Abyss Ninth Layer combat power, while other types are equivalent to star-level rare divine servants.”
“Are they trustworthy?” Qi Lingxiao transmitted.
“I’m not sure either.”
Chu Hongjun said: “Lin Qing said these puppets are loyal to the Primordial Realm, but the specifics are still unclear; they can be provisionally trusted for now, and we’ll see later on.”
At this moment, from the group of puppets, consisting of men, women, young, and old, a woman with long silver hair, dressed in a blue and black tight-fitting military uniform, with an expression as cold as ice and stunningly beautiful, suddenly stepped out.
“It seems the great one from the Primordial Realm has already informed you of our origins?”
The silver-haired woman spoke: “I specialize in observing the overall battle situation to formulate appropriate tactics and strategies, responsible for warfare command. Who among you can tell me about the current situation on Earth?”
Chu Hongjun stepped forward: “I’ll do it.”
“…The situation isn’t very good, or rather, it’s dire.”
The silver-haired woman frowned slightly: “Destroying Earth as a deterrent is fine, but only if the second-level civilization doesn’t get involved and Earth truly has the capability to resolve everything in the future.”
A nearby woman with graceful black hair also gently said: “If Earth is too weak, even if it can indeed destroy Earth, it won’t truly deter a 1.9-level civilization. Only by making the 1.9-level civilization acknowledge Earth’s threat can negotiations be possible.”
Chu Hongjun pondered for a moment, then asked: “It seems you don’t understand Lin Qing?”
The silver-haired woman said: “Are you referring to the star-level citizen from the Primordial Realm?”
“With his potential, he will be enough to reverse Earth’s fate in the future.” Chu Hongjun said: “And what we need to do is just to buy time.”
“You are placing Earth’s future on him?”
The silver-haired woman frowned slightly: “Having the ability to dominate the Star Abyss Eighth Layer within thirty years of evolving into a Star Creature is indeed decent talent, but Earth faces the Void Creatures of a 1.9-level civilization or even more terrifying beings from a second-level civilization. You can’t simply pin hope on one person.”
She continued slowly: “We do respect the people of the Primordial Realm, but respect and trust are two different things.”
In the days when the legendary Primordial Realm still existed, she, being an elite of a second-level civilization, had never seen the great figures of the Primordial Realm but knew they valued locals greatly. As long as one met a certain standard, they could become a citizen of the Primordial Realm.
For instance, becoming a Star-level Divine Officer within a few decades and sweeping through the Star Abyss Eighth Layer was nothing unusual.
This standard could be met by many in the second-level civilization, just as outsiders were not eligible to become citizens of the Primordial Realm.
Currently, the fragments of the Primordial Realm have only evolved into a nascent planetary civilization, which they naturally look down upon.
Chu Hongjun glanced at her, not saying much.
He couldn’t fully trust these puppets, and since these puppets clearly didn’t understand Lin Qing, he naturally wouldn’t disclose Lin Qing’s specialties—such as avatars, authority, combat power, etc.
“Additionally, Earth needs a leader.”
The silver-haired woman swept her gaze over the three of them and said: “That young Lord Lin Qing is still too young to be considered for now. Do you have detailed information about the three of you?”
“Here, take a look.” Chu Hongjun calmly transmitted a document over.
After a while, the silver-haired woman gently nodded, saying coolly: “Three star-level rare divine servants, not bad indeed.”
Immediately, she expanded her telekinesis to confer with the other puppet lives.
The silver-haired woman retracted her telekinesis and first looked at Qi Lingxiao, saying: “Your strength is impressive. As a talent born of a planetary civilization, having Star Abyss Ninth Layer strength is miraculous, but you’re too idealistic and harbor no hope for Void Creatures. The position of Earth Leader is not suitable for you.”
Qi Lingxiao spread his hands, indicating he had nothing to say.
The silver-haired woman then looked at Chu Hongjun and said slowly: “You’re excellent and very smart, but unfortunately, you’re too rational and cold-blooded, the other extreme compared to Qi Lingxiao. You’re more suited for research and advisory roles, but not as a leader.”
Chu Hongjun said indifferently: “I know.”
The silver-haired woman looked at Irenado, “You have good talent and a divine position as a Civilization Mentor, but you’re too focused on personal matters, and your spirit is still anchored in the nebulous faith. You’re only suitable as a civilizing educator, not as a leader.”
Irenado shook her head slowly without saying much.
“Since there’s no suitable candidate, who do you plan to choose? Are you picking someone from among you all?” Chu Hongjun looked at the puppets, “Speaking of which, we still don’t know much about you all, not even your names.”
“We have sworn our true allegiance, forever devoted to the Primordial Realm.”
The silver-haired woman said calmly: “As remnants of the Primordial Realm’s fragments, you only need to know our functions. You can call me Commander.”
