Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 475 : 465 The Knight with the Imperial Seal (Super Long - )
Wu Ya Palace.
Sentiment seemed about to overflow from Zero's eyes as she gently straightened Bai Zhongqi's white Chancellor robes, teasing, "I always feel that every time you dress up, you look like a groom heading to his wedding."
Bai Zhongqi responded with a smile, "Yet there's never a bride."
Zero took two steps back and said, "If you ever wanted to open a harem, who could stop you?"
Bai Zhongqi replied, "Hey, I'm not destined for such things, so I don't entertain those wild fantasies. Having a girlfriend is satisfaction enough."
At his words, a slight shadow passed over Zero's face, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Let's go, Your Majesty, the people of the Star Alliance are waiting for your victorious declaration."
Bai Zhongqi nodded, lamenting, "It would be better to do this after our heroes have returned triumphantly. Unfortunately, we need to bolster everyone's spirits. This incident has dealt us too much devastation and fear. It's time for everyone to rebuild their confidence."
Zero said, "After all, we did defeat three powerful civilizations, and the entire Galaxy is watching this situation. I think we will now have a place in the Galaxy."
Bai Zhongqi sighed, "In the future, dealing with various civilizations will also become troublesome."
At that, he thought of his girlfriend, Han Jiaxue. The girl usually didn't interfere with anything, and to help him, she even studied to become an interstellar diplomat. At the thought, Bai Zhongqi felt a pang of longing.
The two walked out of the bedroom chamber of Wu Ya Palace where Bai Zhongqi resided. Standing guard outside were Lv Yalong and a host of Chancellor's trusted aides. Since defeating the Controllers' second teleportation attack, the majority of the trusted aides had been dispatched to various parts of the island to eliminate the remaining Controllers. Lv Yalong, leading three thousand guards, stayed to protect Wu Ya Palace.
The second-ranked Guard Commander kneeled on one knee upon seeing the Chancellor, as a demonstration of his loyalty.
Bai Zhongqi initially tried to dismiss such formalities, but to no avail, he eventually gave up.
After rising to his feet, Lv Yalong said to Bai Zhongqi, "Your Majesty, Commander Xiao Yu of the Universe Army has just arrived at Wu Ya Palace to report on the suppression of the Controllers' remnants."
Bai Zhongqi waved his hand and said, "No need to discuss this now, we can deal with it later."
Lv Yalong said, "Commander Xiao Yu is still waiting at Wu Ya Palace."
Just then, from the direction of the front hall, Xiao Yu—in his Star Alliance military uniform and holding his cap in his hand as a sign of respect—quickly approached. Following behind Xiao Yu were two Universe Army officers from Iridium Star, Ji You and Lai Zhicun.
Bai Zhongqi was somewhat surprised to see the Commander of the Universe Army at Wu Ya Palace at this time.
Throughout, Bai Zhongqi had never been very fond of Xiao Yu. While Xiao Yu naturally had the ability, he began by questioning Bai Zhongqi's merit as Chancellor. After being suppressed by Bai Zhongqi, Xiao Yu behaved like a fawning dog, indulging in flattery to an extreme extent. Such a character was never to Bai Zhongqi's liking.

Seeing Xiao Yu come to Wu Ya Palace to report without prior notification, Bai Zhongqi was slightly displeased and said, "Commander Xiao, there's no need for your report at the moment; you have your duties."
Xiao Yu, having reached Bai Zhongqi's side, held his cap steadily in his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I've specifically rushed to Wu Ya Palace because of the task entrusted to me by Iridium Star."
Bai Zhongqi brows furrowed lightly; the word 'Iridium Star' had become seldom heard among military and Star Alliance government officials, even Iridium Star's own citizens were now actively downplaying their identity.
"What task?" asked Bai Zhongqi, already slightly irritated.
On Xiao Yu's unremarkable face, the jaw muscle twitched slightly, "This task—"
Without warning, a ray of white light burst out from beneath the cap Xiao Yu was holding, and flew straight towards Bai Zhongqi's left arm at the speed of light.
No one had time to react to what was happening. Even Zero, standing three steps behind Bai Zhongqi, and second-ranked Guard Commander Lv Yalong, at his side, were too slow to respond—the white light struck with the speed of light itself!
Thunk! A muffled sound.
Bai Zhongqi was smashed back by a tremendous force, and Zero, who had now reacted, quickly caught him. She used her star energy to dissipate the force on Bai Zhongqi's body; otherwise, the sheer force of the blow could have flattened even his genetically enhanced body into a pancake.
Bai Zhongqi lay in Zero's arms, struggling to breathe evenly. The Chancellor's trusted aides were shocked, and the enraged second-ranked Guard Commander Lv Yalong roared, drawing his light blade from its sheath. A thunderous momentum charged towards Xiao Yu, who stood there as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Yu did not move, but Ji You, who had come with Xiao Yu, acted first. He extended his hand, and a shield made of star energy formed, solidly blocking Lv Yalong's furiously delivered attack.
Bai Zhongqi breathed laboriously, his gaze falling to the ground on a shattered small shield and a bent spear.
Hundreds of light-years away, Xu Lanzhou suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and then collapsed to the ground.
"The shield..." Tears fell from Xu Lanzhou's eyes like beads off a broken string. The small shield she had always kept was her most treasured possession as the Chancellor's guardian. But today—it had shattered.
Wrapped in immense fear, Xu Lanzhou didn't know what kind of force could shatter her shield in a single blow, but what frightened her even more was the thought of what might have happened to the Chancellor now that the shield was broken.
She immediately tried to contact the Chancellor, but found that the communication signals could not reach Earth's side at all.
