Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 501 - 332: Child of the Stars_2

The message came directly from the leader himself.

He didn’t hesitate, stood up, and said, "Man Ying, I’m going to meet the leader."

"Go ahead." Zhao Manying knew that Ji Xinghuo had already entered the nation’s core circle of power and could often meet the leader, so she wasn’t surprised.

A moment later.

Ji Xinghuo arrived at the headquarters; the meeting place was the same office where he had first met the leader.

Upon entering, he found only two people in the office.

"Leader, Master Chao Feng."

"Xinghuo has arrived." Ji Daosheng wore a smile, gesturing Ji Xinghuo to sit on the sofa. Beside him, Luo Yimeng’s eyes filled with admiration as she said, "You can just call me Aunt Luo from now on; if you’d like to call me Sister Luo, I would like that even more."

"Sister Luo." Ji Xinghuo immediately responded.

He was well aware of this Heavenly King-ranked Master; Luo Yimeng was born in 2100, making her 126 years old this year. However, she didn’t look old; if someone didn’t know her, they might think she was just over thirty.

Her appearance was not stunning, and her physique wasn’t eye-catching, but her demeanor was tranquil and composed with a touch of spiritedness, which was unforgettable.

At this age, she could have been his great-grandmother.

Ordinary people would find it difficult to call her "Sister," but Ji Xinghuo had no psychological barriers—after all, he had thick skin.

"Ah." Luo Yimeng was very pleased.

"Hahaha..." Ji Daosheng laughed heartily, "Little Luo, you are old enough to be a grandmother, and yet you have a man 101 years younger than you calling you sister, it would be laughable if word got out."

Luo Yimeng’s face turned slightly red, but she still said, "I like it, it doesn’t matter what others say."

Grandmother?

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but glance at Luo Yimeng twice; there were rumors online that she had been in several relationships but never married and apparently she already had descendants.

But that was normal.

Many legends and Heavenly Kings never married in their lifetimes, yet they didn’t lack descendants.

For example, the leader Ji Daosheng, his legal wife was a commoner and had already passed away in the last century, after which he never remarried. The lady and the leader had raised three sons and a daughter. Over generations, the registered descendants of the leader in the country totaled two to three thousand people.

However, these descendants, aside from sharing the "Ji" surname, didn’t receive any benefits from the leader.

Most were commoners and had distant relations with the leader.

"Let’s discuss serious matters."

Ji Daosheng’s smile faded, and he spoke earnestly, "Xinghuo, I called you here today because there’s a task I need to assign to you."

"Please command, leader," Ji Xinghuo immediately responded.

"You must have just finished watching the Sun King’s speech," Ji Daosheng didn’t immediately issue the task, but instead asked, "What are your thoughts?"

"The Sun King has just inherited power and visited the New Roman Empire; there must be a profound reason," Ji Xinghuo stated directly, "Is he trying to forge an alliance with the New Roman Empire to form a tripartite alliance against our country?"

"Such a shallow diplomatic strategy is obvious to many," Ji Daosheng nodded, "However, it’s not easy to alter international relations with the Sun King’s personal power alone."

He smiled confidently.

"The Sun King’s hurried visit also proves one thing."

"Our country’s pressure on the United States is beginning to overwhelm them; they can only seek cooperation with the New Roman Empire."

Ji Xinghuo uncertainly said, "One superpower, three great powers?"

"Correct," Ji Daosheng’s eyes sparkled with approval, "From a bipolar world with two superpowers to a unipolar world with one superpower and three great powers as the 23rd century progresses, an intense global conflict must eventually erupt, and in the end, only one country, one government, will remain on Earth."

Ji Xinghuo, looking at the middle-aged man before him, knew well that for this goal he had spent countless days and nights in deep thought and had expended untold amounts of mental and physical effort.

If he could achieve this unprecedented monumental task...

Ji Xinghuo was very eager.

"I digress," Ji Daosheng gathered his thoughts and continued, "The real purpose of the Sun King’s actions, contrary to most people’s speculations, is actually quite the opposite."

"Ah?" Ji Xinghuo did not understand.

"His visit to the New Roman Empire was just a cover, maybe to ease relations between the two countries, but the most important purpose was actually to participate in the Global Marathon and win one of the Alien Species from the championship prizes," Ji Daosheng said.

Ji Xinghuo was greatly surprised; he had indeed not paid attention to what the Global Marathon’s championship prize was.

So, he immediately opened the official website of the competition.

The championship prize money was linked to commercial revenue, which, after the Sun King announced his participation, had soared to over 9 billion and would definitely break ten billion later.

In addition, the New Roman Empire had set dozens of prizes, with a wide variety of types.

The champion could choose any three from them.

Ji Xinghuo quickly browsed through them; these prizes were all highly valuable, including several Alien Species, but the highest were just Transcendent Species, which, compared to some capacity-expanding curiosities and weapon equipment, did not stand out in value.

"Which Alien Species does the Sun King want?" Ji Xinghuo could not figure it out for a moment.

"This one."

Ji Daosheng pointed at the projection.

"Star Flame Pulse." Ji Xinghuo looked up the information on this Alien Species, a Transcendent Species, capable of transforming Star Power in the body into a high-temperature flame, forming a sharp pulse, and bursting out immense strength instantly.

This belonged to the Burst category of Alien Species, and similar Species were not few.

Obviously, many "Flame Frenzies" would want it, but it would not make the Sun King personally participate in the contest to obtain it, would it?

Ji Daosheng explained, "You should not underestimate the Star Flame Pulse; it’s not an ordinary Burst Ability but is extremely rare and more importantly, the Star Flame Pulse is an indispensable part of a series of Combined Abilities."

"It’s actually a Combined Ability!" Ji Xinghuo’s heart skipped a beat.

The so-called "Combined Abilities" are specific two or more Abilities that, after merging together, combine into a more powerful Ability.

Some Professional Templates originate from imitating Combined Abilities, or they are prerequisites for Combined Abilities.

True Combined Abilities are all powerful and rare.

Around the Combined Abilities, even stronger professions can be built, higher than advanced professions.

Some Combined Abilities merge into higher quality Abilities.

For example, several Transcendent Abilities combined have the same effect as one Star Fall Ability.

It can also be understood that the functionality of one Star Fall Ability can be decomposed into several lower-quality Abilities.

The higher the quality of the Ability, the more Combined Abilities are required.

The total functionality of an Ability is constant, the finer it is divided, the more the number of Combined Abilities. It takes a dozen Superior Abilities and high-quality Abilities to combine into one Star Fall Ability, but if using Transcendent Abilities for the combination, only a few are needed.

Profession advancement, adding templates, is also a kind of combining process.

Since Earth opened the Star Gate less than two hundred years ago, the vast majority of Mutants do not have access to such advanced Ability knowledge and cannot use it. Everyone only knows that Combined Abilities are usually associated with "Ultimate Profession."

Ji Xinghuo asked, "Leader, to which Ability combination does Star Flame Pulse belong?"

"Fusion."

Ji Daosheng said the two words.

Ji Xinghuo was extremely shocked; "Fusion" was an Eclipse Species, and moreover, it was one of the most powerful among the Eclipse Species.

"What I’m talking about belongs to the secrets of the Star Realm," Ji Daosheng said slowly, "The Sun King’s profession is ’Iron Guard,’ ’Flying Steps,’ and ’Flame Frenzy,’ and the second generation Sun King also mastered Spiritual Energy, concurrently practicing ’Thermal Stringer.’ These Professional Templates and Abilities, in fact, all are prerequisites for an Ultimate Profession, the core being ’Fusion.’

"Fusion is an Eclipse Species, and the Sun King cannot obtain it."

"So he can only indirectly master the ’Fusion’ capability through Combined Abilities."

"The most important in the Fusion combination is the Star-falling Species ’Imitation Furnace,’ which the second generation Sun King had already acquired thirty years ago. The Fusion combination also needs several Transcendent Abilities, including the Star Flame Pulse."

"I do not know how many Abilities the Sun King still needs, but we must not let him get the Star Flame Pulse."

"If the Fusion combination is completed, the Sun King will advance to ’Son of the Stars.’

"This is one of the most powerful Ultimate Professions," Ji Daosheng said gravely, "and it is also key to his breakthrough from the Shepherd Star Saint!"
