Chapter 2226: 25.116 Lone Black Star - Sadness

It was only at this time that the fact that the empire no longer existed and the remaining royal family members of the Ye Clan had gone missing, finally sank in the minds of the crown prince and the crown princess. With the empire gone all of the sudden, this is what no one had expected. Now that this news has reached the couple, Ye Qinya and Ye Caoyun, this news is something they had never expected. Something they never even wanted to hear at all.

Between the couple, the first one to calm down was none other than the crown princess, Ye Caoyun. He had comforted his beloved with a gentle, soothing voice he could utter.

Ye Caoyun said, "A’Qin, calm down. The royal family had the blessing of this world. Moreover, the masters had only said they had gone missing. They didn’t say that they were dead."

"Yun’er, do you think they... my parents are still alive?" Ye Qinya asked.

The Crown Princess couldn’t help but sneak a peek at her master. Seeing that he had slightly nodded his head, Ye Caoyun responded to his partner’s question in dazed.

He said, "Maybe they are still alive. They are your parents. Do you think they will allow themselves to be bullied so easily?"

"..." The Crown Prince fell into his deep thoughts and the memories of when he hasn’t awaken as someone connected to the Sovereign God of Void and Darkness, despite the unexplainable feeling of tiredness in his soul, the only people who had kept him from giving up his life was his royal parents.

The Crown Princess, Ye Caoyun added, "We must tell this to my father tomorrow. What do you want to do next?"

"I want to check on the empire. We must return there as soon as possible," the Crown Prince, Ye Qinya said.

The couple finally remember the God of Destruction and the Sovereign God of Void and Darkness who had informed them of this news. But when they look back to the direction where Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie are seated, the couches are now empty. They didn’t even realize when they had taken their leave. Instead a piece of written letter was left behind. The crown princess picked the letter up and read the following contents:

{Aside from the Fallen Ancient God who is leading the Mutated Zerg race, there is another mysterious individual that has given the Third Prince, Ye Di, the ability to turn people into living puppets. Be careful. We can only come out in the open once the fallen ancient god has shown his face.}

After taking a look at the letter, the crown princess showed the content of it to his lover. Upon seeing the letter, the crown prince had some guesses in his heart.

While burning the letter, Ye Qinya said, "It seems that whatever is happening in this world right now was something completely outside the script of the world’s original plot. Now that even the Heavenly Laws of this world are gone, whatever is going to happen next is already out of control."

The next morning as soon as the sun had risen, the crown prince and the crown princess had told the grand duke and the duchess about the news that the empire is now gone and that it had been taken over by a zerg queen and zerg king. The one with the worst reaction to this news was the Grand Duke. His reaction was to be angry and to cry at the same time. After all, who would be in the right mind to react differently after learning that your own brother and his wife had disappeared and the hometown he was born into were now all gone. Everything is gone and this is all thanks to the Zerg race and his little nest who had invaded the empire while they were all out here on the cosmos battlefield.

The grand duke now with bloodshot eyes was seated with a depressing aura around him with one hand pressing on his forehead.

Lord Ye Jie couldn’t immediately accept that the empire had poured his life into for a few decades is now gone. Moreover his only sibling had also gone missing together with his sister-in-law. He simply couldn’t accept it. Actually, he should have realized it earlier. He had been sending messages to his elder brother a few times but the usual immediate response had not come. At that time, he only thought that his elder brother was busy with his royal duties.

Who would have thought that after they had left, not only the third prince had awakened some kind of strange ability. After capturing the current emperor and empress, they were locked into the underground prison. Just after his brother and his wife had escaped from that prison and thrown out the third prince, they were invaded by a fleet led by a zerg king and zerg queen, which is a lot strong than he fleet lead by the zerg prince, they had just confronted at the cosmos battlefield. Now even the news that the empire had fallen didn’t even come from the empire itself but from their ancestors who cannot even openly help the empire or else how that zerg nest succeeded in entering the empire.

Lord Ye Jie said, "The empire...is gone? How is that possible? Why did no one tell me about this right away? If only we knew ahead of time, this could have been prevented!"

"Darling, you need to calm down first. Let’s go back to our room," the duchess said in comfort.

After calming down his husband, Duchess Mo Jing had looked at the crown prince and crown princess.

He said, "Please handle the rest. I need to talk with the duke for now. If we are heading back to the empire, your imperial uncle and I will definitely be coming with you."

"Yes, Imperial Aunt (Dad)!" said Ye Caoyun and Ye Qinya.

After breakfast that morning, the crown prince and the crown princess had informed everyone of the situation of the empire. His cheerful faces from the last night had now been completely replaced with sadness and despair after learning that their home had been taken over by a zerg. Moreover, it is a zerg nest that exceeds the power of the fleet the crown prince had just defeated. That’s why even though they were sad about the fall of their empire, they didn’t question the fact that their empire had fallen. After all, the most elite force that fought against the insect race are here together with the rest at the cosmos battlefield.

The crown prince, Ye Qinya said, "Everyone is retreating. We are returning to the empire!"

When the crown prince and crown princess that this current fleet would all be going back to the empire and attempting to take back their home. However, their way back would require them and fight against an enemy stronger than a zerg prince. With the injured soldiers unable to come home as this home is now gone, the despair of losing their family was the most painful for the soldiers especially those who had been stationed on this battlefield for years. Their hometown is gone. Their family’s situation is unknown.

Thinking of the fact that the place had been taken over by the empire then the people living in it, most of them are now mostly dead. If they are lucky, maybe some of their family survived the invasion. Anyway, right now everyone just wanted to go home. In the end, it was decided that this space territory would be left with just a few soldiers who were willing to stay, mostly orphans who didn’t have anyone waiting for them back to the empire. Most of them decided to return to the empire to check on their homes.

The decision made as a group, they are now preparing to leave to return to the empire. They had taken their leave from the cosmos battlefield and had gone to another place to continue the battle that had ended in this open space.

Meanwhile at the original insect nest...

Hahahahaha~

"Finally! Finally! I’ve done it." The fallen ancient god exclaimed. "My successful experiment. A zerg mutation that looks so much like a human but with more genes as someone from the insect race. The only thing that made it special is that it had merged with one petal from the chaos flower! This is great!!!"

The insane fallen ancient god had finally created the craziest gene mutation for the zerg race. It was his ultimate creation as it now looks completely human except for the ant antennas he cannot remove no matter what. What made it a subject with the word ’ultimate’ connected to it. This madman had actually used that chaos flower sent to him by someone unknown. He had actually wasted two petals from the chaos flower and was almost killed by the subject who had directly let it. It cannot be easily controlled.

The effects of Chaos flower on living beings is madness itself.
