Shadows of the Deep Space - Chapter 1680 537: The Bell Chimes_2
Goodman said with great gratitude.
Although he was only reinstated to his original position, it meant he no longer had to bear any disciplinary action, and the future seemed promising!
At this moment, Long Chen, Mokduo, Tai Falu, Su Mulong, and others also came over with smiles, congratulating Su Ming.
“Su Ming, congratulations!”
“Thank you, Grandpa!”
Su Ming expressed his gratitude.
“Mulong, Su Ming has been promoted to General, shouldn’t you express something?”
Tai Falu said to Su Mulong with a smile.
“Damn right, this definitely calls for it! Su Ming, when will you come home, the family should throw you a promotion banquet, and it will certainly be grand!”
Su Mulong was grinning ear to ear.
“Grandpa, there are too many things going on recently, let’s skip the promotion banquet, it doesn’t seem appropriate right now.”
Su Ming hurriedly declined.
“Alright.”
Su Mulong genuinely wanted to host a grand banquet for Su Ming, but what Su Ming said was reasonable.
The Federation had withdrawn all troops, and many lives were sacrificed; it truly wasn’t the right time.
At this moment, Hilis smiled at Su Ming.
“Mr. Su Ming, do you have time tonight to attend my public concert?”
“Well…”
Su Ming hesitantly replied.
“It’s a rare opportunity, we can go together!”
Vivian chimed in.
“Yeah, we can even celebrate the New Year together.”
Helena and others extended the invitation as well.
Su Ming glanced at Hilis and the others, then looked at Long Bai who was talking to Gakels in the distance, before coughing and saying.
“Sorry, I have something else tonight, maybe next time.”
“Oh, that’s a pity.”
Hilis and the others responded with deep regret.
“I have some matters to attend to, please excuse me.”
Su Ming said to everyone present.
“Alright.”
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Su Ming then walked away into the distance, raising his wrist to tap a few times and sent a message.

Inside the Dark Star·Emperor Palace.
In the dim hall, the Dark Star Emperor sat on the throne, and Roglia Chief Minister stood respectfully by the side.
A virtual image was projected in front of them.
In the image, Long Bai, wearing the Starry Robe, stood on the ceremonial platform, delivering a passionate speech.
“The current Federation has fully risen, becoming incredibly powerful, capable of facing human traitors and alien races alone, fearing no formidable enemy….”
“Haha, how arrogant!”
Once the Dark Star Emperor heard this, he burst into loud laughter.
“Emperor, the newly appointed Dragon White President is indeed too arrogant.”
Roglia Chief Minister said respectfully.
In fact, what the Roglia Chief Minister said wasn’t entirely without reason; the Federation recently annexed Saint Joex, Shabask Kingdom, and many Neutral Countries, indeed showing a trend of unification.
But it’s important to remember that during the Federation’s peak, the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country and the Dark Star Empire were both part of the Federation system. Back then, under the leadership of Dragon String Council President, they barely defeated Chilami and the Mechanical Clan.
Now, Long Bai dares to claim they fear not Chilami, the Mechanical Clan, the Dark Star Empire, or the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country. It’s simply too arrogant.
But to be fair, if the Dark Star Empire and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country were to rejoin the Federation, with humanity fully unified, they would indeed be qualified to contend with the two major alien races and vie for supremacy over the starry sky.
But unfortunately, both the Dark Star Empire and the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country have split away and become enemies, and for him to make such a statement—it’s either his brain is malfunctioning or he’s just too arrogant.
“Nonetheless, this Long Bai indeed has the demeanor of Dragon Xian of old, with an extraordinarily firm grip!”
The Dark Star Emperor, although finding Long Bai extremely arrogant in overlooking the Dark Star Empire, didn’t underestimate him.
“Emperor, you’re right, not every Council President has the courage to cut their losses, to abandon the Three Forbidden Zones. Moreover, the Federation has indeed experienced rapid development in recent years, whereas our strength has been continuously declining.”
Roglia Chief Minister replied in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the Dark Star Emperor’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, then he spoke in a solemn voice.
“Hundreds of years ago, I and that old guy Fanluo, followed Dragon String into battle against alien races. At that time, there were only five VI Generation Mecha in total; after the split, I took one! Over the years, we’ve only added one more. As far as I know, the Federation has added eight VI Generation Mecha to their ranks! The gap between us is indeed widening!”
“Emperor, what should we do next?”
Roglia Chief Minister asked worriedly.
“No worries, we still have a chance. Isn’t the Federation reveling in the New Year’s celebration? Little do they know that the chime of the New Year’s bell marks the beginning of their countdown to destruction, haha!”
The Dark Star Emperor laughed out loud at the end.
In fact, this was also the Dark Star Emperor’s last chance—if he couldn’t take down the Federation this time, he would never hope to touch that thing again.
“Wise Emperor!”
Roglia said respectfully.
“How’s the modification of my Mecha coming along?”
The Emperor asked coldly.
“It’s nearing completion.”
Roglia Chief Minister waved his hand, and the virtual image switched.
A mighty, imposing Mecha appeared before them, with numerous Mechanics busy modifying the internal components.
As the Emperor looked at the Mecha being modified, he expressed satisfaction.
“Very good, and what about the Clone Army?”
“Also ready.”
Roglia Chief Minister followed up with a wave of his hand.
