Chapter 190: Solar System Lord
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After a brief introduction by Hong Ying, the projection disappeared, and a staff member walked to the center of the stage.
“Hello everyone, my name is Ni Lu. I will be the speaker to deliver about the Milky Way Empire’s affairs…”
“First, let me briefly explain the situation of our Milky Way Empire…”
“We come from the Galactic Center, with a civilization level of four. Technologically, we have reached the upper limit of the Milky Way…”
The upper limit of the Milky Way?
The crowd was shocked. Was the Empire really this confident?!
“We have no interest in ruling the universe or the Milky Way…”
“The reason we have gathered you here is a matter of necessity…”
As Ni Lu spoke, she occasionally used idioms, which sounded quite strange to Zhao Yu.
But he didn’t think much of it, assuming it was a translation issue.
“Our Empire has existed for a time that can be said to be longer than any civilization present here…”
“We were born 300 million years ago and have experienced things throughout various periods of the Milky Way…”
“If we wanted to rule the Milky Way, we could have done it hundreds of millions of years ago…”
“Of course, under normal development, our Milky Way Empire’s footsteps would inevitably cover the entire Milky Way…”
“We discovered a terrifying situation…”
Someone in the audience, captivated by the story, quickly asked, “What kind of terrible situation?!”
“At the Galactic Center, there is a special passage that connects to a strange universe…”
“The creatures of that universe are very bizarre. They consume everything, and all the weapons we possess cannot harm them…”
“The moment we discovered them, they began to invade our universe on a large scale…”
“They devour stars and moons; wherever they go, nothing left. They have been named as ‘Star-Eating Beasts’…”
“Our universe is on the brink of danger, with countless civilizations falling rapidly…”
“All intelligent beings realize that if we don’t drive these creatures out, our entire universe will be destroyed…”
“After endless generations of effort, we finally developed a weapon that could attack these creatures…”
“Unfortunately, the ammunition required for this weapon is extremely rare and cruel…”
“It needs the bodies of intelligent beings as material, to be transformed into special dark matter ammunition…”
“Even so, countless people still come forward and sacrificed themselves to protect our universe…”
“With the fearless sacrifices of countless predecessors, we finally drove those Star-Eating Beasts back to their universe…”
“Yet, the passage connecting the two universes could never be closed…”
“Eventually, all the civilizations of the universe decided to unite, staying in the Galactic Center, guarding the passage…”
“For the next several hundred million years, we have always stayed in the Galactic Center, guarding this part of the universe…”
“Who would have thought that recently, for some unknown reason, the passage began to expand…”
“Even if we sacrifice more people, there still isn’t enough…”
“The frontline began to collapsed…”
“Out of desperation, the Emperor decided to send people away from the Galactic Center to integrate all the new-generation civilizations of the Milky Way. We must unite and overcome this difficulty together…” Ni Lu sighed,
Ni Lu’s story was so strange that the people listening below exchanged puzzled glances, disbelief written all over their faces.
Ni Lu pouted as no one seemed to believe her.
However, she continued her speech without any delay.
“So, our purpose in returning this time, establishing the Milky Way Empire, and gathering you all, is to hope that you can contribute to this universe, and together with the front-line soldiers, jointly defend our universe…”
H H
“Are you saying that the frontline needs materials, materials refined from living people?!” Some audience questioned Ni Lu,
Not made, but the will of intelligent life to protect the universe…” Ni Lu emphasized again.
“How much is needed?” another audience asked.
“All of you here are from zero-level civilizations with limited populations. Each civilization only needs to provide 100 tons of dark matter…”
” 100 tons of dark matter?!”
Everyone was stunned.
“How much dark matter can a person provide?” Zhao Yu asked.
“1 gram!”
Ni Lu raised a finger and continue to elaborate: “A material…” A will that protects the universe can provide 1 gram of material…”
100 tons meant 100 million people.
Zhao Yu was a little shocked. Was she asking each civilization to send living people to their deaths?
“We have counted the entire scale of intelligent life in the universe…” Ni Lu continue to explain further.
” Each civilization only needs to provide 100 tons of dark matter every year for the front lines…”
Annually bill?
Sending 100 million people to their deaths in a year?
There were only 8.5 billion people on Earth!
“I don’t believe this nonsense, star-devouring beasts, is this a science fiction story?”
“I’m will not agree on sending my people to die like that…”
“That’s right. We’re just a level-0 civilization. Even if we want to help, we can’t. From the video you sent, that level-3 civilization has a population of ten trillion.”
Listening to all the complaint below, Ni Lu revealed her canine teeth and smiled.”” All these years, our people has made so many sacrifice for this universe…”
“To us, some people are worth protecting, while some are not…”
” A civilization without a spirit of dedication has no reason to be exist…”
Ni Lu’s words silenced the crowd.
They suddenly realized that the gentle and kind person standing before them was from a fourth-level civilization!
Even star devouring beasts that she mentioned were too unbelievable, they were facing a beast stood in front of them now…
“Does anyone not believe what I just said?” Ni Lu raised her voice once again.
Everyone exchanged glances, feeling the underlying threat in her words.
“We believe…”
“That’s good. The supplies are urgent, and there’s no negotiating about the dark matter…”
“Each one of you needs to contribute 100 tons of dark matter every year. If you fail to do so, your civilization will have no value to this universe…” Ni Lu made sure the deal has been rephrase.
Everyone shuddered.
Seeing no one objecting, Ni Lu quickly moved on, appointing everyone present as counts.
She demanded them to change their civilizations’ systems to feudalism, all the representatives will acted as lords. Those who were not sure they could make the change were allowed to request the Empire’s help.
As soon as she finished her speech, many people raised their hands for help.
“We have over two hundred organizations in our federation; without the Empire’s help, I’m afraid we can’t change…”
“We have more than seven hundred countries on our planet. Our single nation’s power is not enough; we need the Empire’s assistance…”
To Zhao Yu’s surprise, many in the room accepted Ni Lu’s words and eagerly applied for the Empire’s help.
Count’s Island was a place for all zero-level civilizations gathered and entitled as the Empire’s Earl.
They were all considered to be a level-0 civilization by the Empire.
Naturally, not all level 0 civilizations had entered the nuclear age. There were also some civilizations that were still in the industrial age.
“Everyone, start registering. Write down your galaxy, address, and population…”Ni Lu recorded down the civilizations that requested help and gave them a form.
Ni Lu announced, proudly “From today on, you are counts of the Milky Way Empire, lords representing the Empire in managing your territories…” after she collected all filled forms.
Everyone dispersed right after the meeting end.
Zhao Yu looked at the appointment letter in his hand, stamped with the seal of the Milky Way Empire.
Appointment Letter

Hereby Appointed As The Lord of the Solar System….
