Chapter 65: Mars Has a New King

  Liyang estimated that the queen had just used her own life-bound flying sword to block most of the nuclear cannon's attack. The nuclear cannon was too powerful, and after blowing up her life-bound flying sword, she followed suit and died.

  After searching for half a day, nothing valuable was found on the queen's body. Liuyang sulkily turned around and carefully searched the queen's palace. There were many secrets that he didn't understand yet, so he wasn't in a hurry to leave. For example, the Bingpo Yuanyuan crystal that had left a deep impression on him earlier, as well as the Queen's identity, her mysterious swordsmanship, and so on - Liuyang was very curious about these things.

  Now that Li Yang's arch-nemesis has been eliminated, and with two nuclear guns in hand, he feels that there is nothing on Mars that can threaten him. He puts his mind at ease and enters this vast underground palace to search for treasure.

  The Queen's underground palace is over ten meters high and more than a hundred meters wide. The walls of this underground palace also have many small holes with a diameter of tens of meters, and the top of each hole has many spherical objects emitting soft white light.

  Li Yang turned around in circles inside the grand hall but found nothing, so he came to these small caves one by one to check.

  He found a bookshelf in a small cave and on it, he discovered a book bound in the skin of an unknown animal. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief and began to flip through it quickly.

  The book records things that seem to be the diary of the Queen of Light, written in a mysterious and incomprehensible text. Fortunately, with Tie Tou's help, Li Yang can easily understand the content inside.

  Five minutes later, he closed the book, his face alternating between shock and ecstasy for a long time before finally calming down.

  He got everything about Queen of Light from this book, even the origin of Mars and the past and present life of the Empire of Light are all clear at his fingertips!

  The ancestors of this Queen of Light were able to control Mars due to a strange encounter.

  More than 60,000 years ago, an immortal from the Xiu Zhen star system used a secret technique to escape to Mars to avoid being killed by her enemies. Due to severe injuries, she died and all of her treasures were obtained by the ancestors of the queen. There were four treasures in total: a silver sword, a blue butterfly dress, a book called "Mystical Decision", and a storage ring. The family relied on these treasures to practice immortal techniques, kill their enemies, and quickly rose up among the tens of thousands of tribes on Mars, establishing the Bright Empire.

  After thousands of years of effort, the Empire of Light became increasingly prosperous and its technological level gradually improved. In the end, it even invented nuclear bombs, the ultimate weapon, which wiped out all enemy states at once, leaving only the Empire of Light on Mars in a dominant position.

  However, due to the excessive use of nuclear bombs, the ecological environment on Mars was severely damaged. The Empire of Light had no choice but to relocate its entire nation underground, and their technological civilization almost stagnated.

  The successive enlightened emperors of the Radiant Empire, who recognized the harm of nuclear weapons, although unwilling to give up this strongest means of attack, worked hard to improve these weapons and finally became completely non-radioactive small nuclear cannons, but it was too late.

  Although the weapons are becoming more and more advanced, the environment on Mars is getting worse. By the time of Queen of Light, there were only hundreds of thousands of people left on Mars, all scientific and technological progress had stagnated, and they were barely surviving in underground caves. Fortunately, they now have the massive underground caverns built by their ancestors to live in, otherwise they would have been completely wiped out.

  The most useful information for Li Yang is that the Ice Jade Crystal consumed by the queen earlier was produced on top of the Ice Jade Tree in the Qingyun Star Ball of the Xiuzhen Star System. Eating one can quickly recover from any serious illness!

  Li Yang rushed to the outer hall like a madman, quickly found the cyan jade bottle, turned it over and shook it several times, but not a single Ice Soul Crystal was left!

  "Damn it, the last Ice Crystal was ruined by this old witch! I knew I shouldn't have saved her, I should have just killed her after saving her, it's all the same. Now I've wasted a precious elixir! Otherwise, I would have given it to Father and his illness would have been completely cured!" Li Yang stamped his foot and pounded his chest in frustration in the grand hall!

  Anger rose from his heart, evil was born on the edge of his gallbladder, Li Yang ran to the corpse of Queen Guangming again and kicked it hard a few times, only then did he feel a little relieved.

  "Ah!"

  A faint sound was heard, and a dark green ring rolled onto the ground.

  This ring was very inconspicuous, and when Li Yang searched her body for the first time, he didn't even notice this thing. Unexpectedly, those few kicks just now were quite fierce, and they actually kicked the ring off her body.

  Is this really the Queen's storage ring?

  Li Yang picked up the ring with a questioning face, and at first glance, it looked like an emerald ring on Earth, with a bright green color that was dazzling to the eyes.

  He put the ring on his left index finger, and suddenly a sharp pain came from the tip of his finger, and the ring disappeared!

  After reading that beast skin book, Li Yang understood many things about the Xian world and vaguely felt that this ring was bleeding to recognize its master, so he didn't panic. The next moment, he thought for a moment, and the ring appeared on his finger again. After another thought, the ring disappeared again.

  It should be that the ring was invisible before the queen died, and it was firmly locked on her finger. After she died, the ring automatically fell off and was kicked down by Li Yang.

  This is indeed the space ring of the Queen of Light, and Li Yang soon discovered that the space inside was about ten cubic meters in size, packed with mid-grade crystal stones!

  It was as if by his will that these crystals appeared on the ground, more than twice as many as those piled up in the queen's palace, over six tons!

  He hastily beckoned Ironhead to collect these diamonds, and now they had nearly ten tons of medium-grade diamonds, which would be enough for the flying saucer to use without running out!

  This should be the last bit of stock for Queen Guangming, so many mid-grade star crystals are the result of decades of hard work by tens of millions of people on Mars, and now they're all cheap for Li Yang. Just now he was still rejoicing over harvesting dozens of kilograms of mid-grade diamonds, but now this huge harvest has come, making him feel great.

  In the palace, Li Yang obtained more than a hundred nuclear shell cannonballs. He put these treasures together with the two nuclear cannons and some empty jade bottles into his storage ring, only then was he satisfied and prepared to leave.

  The four treasures passed down through the Queen's family, the Silver Light Sword and the Blue Butterfly Robe were destroyed by the nuclear cannon. The Storage Ring fell into Li Yang's hands, but that book, the Yu Xian Decision, was never found, it can be said to be the only regret.

  At this time, Tie Tou's injuries had already been fully recovered. Li Yang was just about to let Tie Tou take him away when hundreds of Silver Armor Bright Messengers came running over, panting for breath. One of the bald-headed Bright Messengers was holding onto a woman, who turned out to be Yin, someone Li Yang had met once before.

  Leyang was not panicked at all, because he found that the weapons in the hands of these light messengers were strange and weird, but there were no nuclear cannons. He turned his mind and the two nuclear cannons in the storage ring appeared in his hands.

  He aimed the two ultimate weapons from Mars at these people and shouted loudly: "Those who know what's good for them should surrender quickly! Your queen and those golden armored guards are all dead, obey me and live, resist me and die!"

  These enlightened messengers were all blinded, they had the heart to resist, but they knew the power of Li Yang's nuclear gun and did not know that with just one shot of a nuclear shell, it would be enough to turn them into charcoal. Therefore, they all stood still on the spot, not knowing what to do.

  "Aren't you the Bright Envoy, Lei Yang? The nutrient liquids and nutrient paste you sold me were delicious. We were just discussing buying more from you. Please put down the nuclear cannon, don't kill us." A tall, handsome figure emerged from among the Bright Envoys, and Lei Yang recognized him as none other than Bright Envoy Qiao.

  Li Yang smiled slightly at him and asked in doubt: "Do you really still want to buy those food from me?"

  These enlightened messengers all nodded, looking at their faces with fear, and the excited expressions when mentioning those foods, do not look like pretending.

  "Alright, as long as you surrender to me, I can put away the nuclear cannon and also sell you all the nutrient fluids and nutrient noodles you can't finish." Li Yang nodded.

  "Long live the Emperor of the Empire of Light!"

  "Long live King Guangming Li Yang!"

  "Long live the King of the Empire of Light, Li Yang!"

  These people all stretched out their hands and shouted loudly, throwing down the weapons in their hands with a clatter.

  They surrendered so easily, which surprised Li Yang a bit!

  "Ah, great, follow me, and from now on you won't have to eat those insect-based nutrient fluids anymore! I'll provide you with a large amount of new-type nutrient fluids and nutrient paste!" Li Yang said with a smile.

  "Alright!"

  Everyone cheered, and they were genuinely happy. Li Yang was excited but also a bit puzzled at the same time.

  Later he came to realize that the Empire of Light on Mars respected only the strong, whoever had nuclear cannons was the king, and since he had two nuclear cannons, he naturally became the king, and no one thought there was anything wrong with this.

  Currently, the manufacturing capability on Mars is almost zero, and the nuclear cannon manufacturing process has been lost for over a thousand years. These two nuclear cannons can be said to be extremely rare. To some extent, these two nuclear guns are like the king's seal, and even more formidable than the human emperor's seal, because they are weapons that can directly take people's lives, effective and dignified.

  The Martian girl was caught as a criminal related to Li Yang, and after Li Yang understood the situation, he waved his hand and let the Luminaries release her. The girl, now freed from the metal handcuffs, tearfully raised both hands towards Li Yang, shouting "Long live!" repeatedly.

  As the Emperor of the Bright Empire, Li Yang was still very satisfied. On Earth, his chances of becoming an emperor were almost non-existent, but now a vast Mars was all his, with hundreds of thousands of subjects at his command, and this feeling of being admired by tens of thousands of people made him feel extremely comfortable.

  The organizational structure of the Queen of Light is simple, with 26 golden guardians under her command responsible for managing hundreds of silver-clad envoys of light. These several hundred envoys of light are divided into different tasks and manage caves scattered in various places.
