Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1657: Chapter 643: The Advantage Is Ours—Charge To Win, Special Thanks to Our Logistics Commanders

Time passed day by day.

Guo Denghuai finally burned out the last of his twilight.

He decided to first donate his brain, while his body was sent to partake in the "Cosmic Burial," a new trend among the Red Blade Clan.

The so-called "Cosmic Burial" involves placing a body into a spare organic fuel engine, igniting it, and while releasing energy, decomposing the body into its most basic particles which are then dispatched into the universe.

This can somewhat accomplish an eternal life alongside the universe.

After Guo Denghuai exited the stage, Ren Zhong unexpectedly appointed the role of acting Commander to Um Wei Wu.

This meant that unless Ren Zhong actively took command, unless Yujin, Hu Yang, Ma Xiaoling, and a handful of top-tier managers were unfrozen and requested command authority from the main brain Sun Ai, Um Wei Wu would remain the highest military leader of the Red Blade Army.

In extreme circumstances, if less than twenty leaders ranked above Um Wei Wu, including Ren Zhong, were to perish, Um Wei Wu could even become the ultimate leader of the entire Red Blade Army.

This astonished everyone.

It’s not that Um Wei Wu lacks capability; it’s purely because its identity is too awkward.

Some opposed this, but opposition was ineffective.

This is Ren Zhong.

With the clan reaching this point, Ren Zhong believes that, to survive amidst four major branches, the Red Blade Army must eventually abandon isolation and change its single-race status.

This is his biggest difference with the four major branches.

Of course, Ren Zhong did not use force to persuade others but instead asked a simple question, "Is there anyone among you who surpasses Um Wei Wu in military capability? If you tell me, I will arrange a virtual battle via the Super Network for you. I can even conduct a semi-live ammunition exercise temporarily. The capable ascend, while the mediocre descend; it’s that simple."

After Ren Zhong spoke, there was utter silence below.

Many began to nostalgically remember Ying Zhenshan and Han Zhixin who had long passed away.

This is the helplessness of a community.

Ordinary geniuses are not hard to find, someone can stand out in every generation.

But to find a cross-era top genius who is also self-disciplined and diligent, with the luck to fully mature, is rare, it’s not even one in a hundred thousand but maybe one in a billion; it’s entirely up to luck.

Currently within the clan, if Ren Zhong doesn’t step up, no one is stronger than Um Wei Wu, which is an undeniable fact.

Thus, even though unwilling, everyone kept quiet.

However, their unwillingness transformed into a motivation for striving harder instead of negative emotions.

For nearly a thousand years, the Red Blade Army spent most time journeying and some time accumulating sustainably in this peaceful and harmonious cosmic space, without major outward wars. Some indeed slowly indulged in this leisurely enjoyment, becoming lazy involuntarily.

Addressing these phenomena, Ren Zhong first asked Xiao Xingyue’s successor, the newly appointed Chief of Psychological Review and Diplomatic and Cultural Officer, to lead a team to compile the clan’s history and incorporate the history beginning from the Source Star into compulsory education as a main subject.

Ren Zhong’s second strategy was appointing Um Wei Wu as acting Commander.

Undoubtedly, there will be young individuals feeling uneasy about Um Wei Wu’s control at heart, but Lord Marquis has made a resolute decision; the only way to change it is by becoming stronger than Um Wei Wu.

Um Wei Wu has not realized it became Ren Zhong’s catalyst injected into the group.

At this moment, it also felt a little panicked.

Previously, the Hundred Emperors demanded Um Wei Wu entirely abandon hatred and wholeheartedly devote itself to the Red Blade Army.

Um Wei Wu tried hard, but hereditary instincts are deeply ingrained, regardless of its complex emotional journey or extensive psychological development. No matter the extraordinary life changes it’s been through, the obsession with loyalty to the Mother Empress and the Founder remains firm.

Um Wei Wu believes each compromise it makes is just to serve the ascendant better.

It firmly stands in the role of an undercover spy.

The problem is, the longer it continues this role, the more it becomes the enemy’s leader!

Um Wei Wu is exceedingly anxious about this.

Currently, it cannot return to the Hundred Emperors but can communicate via encrypted brainwave data streams with the descendants planted in the bodies of the Hundred Emperors, to connect with this great Mother Empress.
