Originally, according to modern traditions, there was no need to kneel when meeting. However, since the establishment of the base city, it had entered the customs of the Spring and Autumn Period. The president of a base city had a high status and was like a parent to the people!
Therefore, when facing other higher-ups, they only bowed. Only the president of the base city had to kneel.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. He was a little puzzled. When did he become the Great Emperor of Light?
Ye Chen did not know that with the rise of the Light Base City, his deeds were talked about enthusiastically. In addition, Xu Tianguo secretly added fuel to the fire. Gradually, he was given such a title and became an "Emperor" level figure!
The previous title of Killing God was earned by Ye Chen's own killing. He was too ruthless. On the other hand, the Great Emperor of Light was closer to the people. Therefore, Xu Tianguo gradually promoted the latter title, causing many people to call him that.
Ye Chen was too lazy to ask about his home for a long time. He moved and returned to the spaceship. Then, he drove the spaceship and rushed to the base city.
At the entrance of the ruins, the guards stood on both sides. They looked at the beautiful spaceship with respect and surprise. When the spaceship entered the ruins, they were full of excitement.
After the spaceship entered the ruins, the air defense system had been canceled. It arrived at the most majestic hall in the center of the city without any obstacles.
Ye Chen brought the brother and sister down. The little white rabbit was lying on his shoulder. It was very docile.
Not long after, Xu Tianguo brought a group of higher-ups to the square in front of the hall. He took the lead and said in surprise, "President, is it really you?"
Ye Chen nodded slightly. He glanced at the people who came to greet him. With the medals on their chests, he recognized the heads of the major departments and the commanders of the military. Other than that, he did not see the White Dragon, his sister, and the others. His face darkened. He said, "Where is Ye Zhu?"
Xu Tianguo was good at reading people's expressions. Seeing the haze in Ye Chen's eyes, he hurriedly said, "Ye Zhu, Mo Feng, and the White Dragon went to the Virtual Battle Tower and have been cultivating in seclusion. They woke up a few times midway, but only to replenish their food before continuing to train inside."
Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. Only then did he feel relieved. His expression softened as he said, "It's good that you're fine."
He turned to look at the brother and sister beside him and said, "We met them on the way here. Go make the arrangements and then wait in the hall. I will be there in a while."
Xu Tianguo glanced at the siblings and could hear the calmness in Ye Chen's voice. He nodded and said, "Okay."
The brother and sister were somewhat timid. This was the first time they had seen so many high and mighty people. Among them, the department heads and deputy department heads of the various departments were all present. Everyone's aura was extremely deep and profound. They were as calm as the sea and unfathomable. The two of them had never seen such a scene before and were at a loss for what to do.
Xu Tianguo waved his hand and led the brother and sister away. The rest of the department heads cupped their fists towards Ye Chen and respectfully left.
The brother and sister walked a few steps and turned back to secretly look at Ye Chen. They were somewhat reluctant to part with him.
"Let's go!"
Xu Tianguo looked at the expression of the two. He smiled and said, "When you become stronger, you will naturally have the strength to see the president every day."
"Become stronger …" The girl whispered and quietly clenched her fists …
After Xu Tianguo left, Ye Chen's figure moved and returned to the spaceship. He glanced at Ka Ba in the back cabin and the 15 stupefied mummies and said, "You guys stay here first. Don't run around."
Ka Ba lazily said, "I know."
Ye Chen glanced at him and did not say anything. He turned and carried Cai Die's corpse and left the formation spaceship. His figure was like a ray of light as he arrived outside the ruins. He found a place where there was no one and with his hand, he began to chisel through the thick ice.
Chisel!
Chisel!
Chisel!
Ye Chen activated all the strength in his body, gritting his teeth as he chiseled. But the ice and snow was extremely hard. Even with his physique, he was sweating profusely. He had only managed to chisel a few hundred meters deep, like an ice well.
Ye Chen looked at the ice and snow around him and thought, "Although this place is deep, but when the age of volcanoes comes and the ice melts, I'm afraid Cai Die's corpse will also float down." He clenched his fists and continued to chisel.
The dense ice and the temperature was extremely low.
Ye Chen's strength had been exhausted several times. He could only sit down and rest, waiting for his strength to recover before he continued to chisel.
Not too long after, the thick ice finally broke through and the bottom was revealed. Seeing the hard black soil, he stretched out his hand to grab at it. His fingers were like iron as he dug a deep hole in the ground. Adding to the previous exhaustion of his strength, he could not help but gasp for breath.
Ye Chen rested for a while, then continued to chisel. After digging tens of meters into the ground, he finally stopped. He stretched out his hand and picked up Cai Die's corpse. Opening the cloth, a pale and beautiful face appeared in front of his eyes.
Ye Chen was silent for a while, then smoothed out the black soil around him. Following that, he used his finger to pick up some of the ice above, forming an ice coffin. He placed Cai Die's corpse inside and let out a soft sigh. With a wave of his hand, the black soil around him covered the ice coffin.
"The promise has been fulfilled …" Ye Chen's figure moved, he stood up and left. With a wave of his hand, he threw down a block of ice, filling up the thousands of feet deep ice hole. Then he turned and left. As the cold wind blew, he could vaguely hear her sad words, "I have no father or mother. It was Master who picked me up on a snowy day …"
"If this place hadn't been corroded by the volcanoes after the age of volcanoes, then the flowers would have bloomed in the coming year and it would have become a land of lush flowers …" Ye Chen turned his head and looked around. Then his figure flashed and he flew into the ruins.
After arriving at the ruins, Ye Chen didn't go to the main hall first. Instead, he went to his little sister's side chamber.
Walking to the entrance, he saw two beautiful girls standing outside the luxurious doors. Although the two girls were bored standing there, they didn't dare to casually chat. When they suddenly heard the sound of wind, they were surprised. They looked up and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Ye Chen saw the two girls with their mouths slightly agape. He waved his hand and stepped forward. He arrived at the door and pushed it open. With a creak, the door slowly opened. Light shined in through the door and fine dust floated in the air.
Ye Chen frowned. He looked at the two girls and said, "Is there no one who cleans this place?"
The two girls sobered up and were about to kneel down. But, they were held back by a gentle strength and were unable to kneel. While they were shocked, they hurriedly replied, "Reporting to President, during this time the young miss has been in closed-door cultivation. The Acting President did not allow us to make a ruckus in fear of disturbing the young miss' cultivation."
Ye Chen nodded. He restrained his strength and stepped into the room. The door automatically closed behind him.
The chandelier on the ceiling emitted a gentle white light. There was a large screen in the room as well as a nutrition chamber. A girl in green was quietly lying inside. She wore a helmet and had a peaceful expression on her face.
Ye Chen walked to the side. He didn't make a sound. He squatted down and looked at her beautiful face. It was as if he had returned to the days when he was studying. Every day at the school gate, there would be a girl waiting for him …
Seeing that his little sister was fine, Ye Chen felt much more relieved. He stayed for a while and then left.
Afterwards, Ye Chen went to visit the White Dragon and the others. He found that they were all in closed-door cultivation so he didn't disturb them. He turned around and returned to the main hall. As soon as he entered, he saw that the hall was filled with high level officials from various departments. They were all discussing in low voices.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, everyone quieted down. When they saw Ye Chen, they quickly stood up and respectfully said, "Greetings, President."
Ye Chen went straight to the main table and sat on a spacious chair. He waved his hand and everyone returned to their seats. They adjusted their expressions and revealed an earnest expression.
Ye Chen tilted his head and looked at Xu Tianguo. "Did anything happen during this time?"
Xu Tianguo sat beside him and smiled bitterly. "There was something. By the way, President, where did you go during this time? Everyone tried to contact you, but there was no news. I thought …"
Everyone looked over with great interest.
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. I just met a Demigod expert from a different dimension. He kidnapped me and took me to the Antarctic sea. I mistakenly entered a ruin and was delayed for some time."
"Demigod expert?" Everyone, including Xu Tianguo, was slightly stunned. They looked a little confused.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "When one reaches ten thousand, they will be in the Specter realm. When one reaches a hundred thousand, they will be in the Demigod realm. When one reaches a million, they will be in the Semi-Divinity realm."
Xu Tianguo was shocked. "Then, the expert you met, isn't he a Demigod expert at a hundred thousand?"
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
There was an uproar as everyone looked at Ye Chen in disbelief. After the incident with the Prince of Darkness, they knew how terrifying a Specter expert was. If he could enter the Specter Mode and be immune to physical attacks, then a Demigod expert at a hundred thousand would definitely have a special ability.
Xu Tianguo heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you escaped. By the way, does that Demigod expert know your whereabouts?"
Ye Chen said casually, "I've already taken care of that Demigod expert. Don't worry."
Hearing this, the whole conference hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.
Killing a Demigod expert?
Although he was only a Demigod, he could be considered a killing god.
Ye Chen glanced at the conference hall and asked curiously, "Where are the people from the Xuanyuan Clan?" He hadn't seen anyone from the Xuanyuan Clan since he entered the ruins.
Xu Tianguo came back to his senses. "During this time, I've given the secret martial arts manuals from the Ancient Martial Civilization and many other civilizations, as well as the core technology of science and technology, as well as the development method of the virtual world connector, to the people of the Xuanyuan Clan. They'll be back in a few days."
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
After that, Xu Tianguo reported the situation to Ye Chen. In fact, Ye Chen basically knew the general development process. Seeing that it didn't deviate too much from the history of his previous life, he was relieved.
"China Base City has too many people, and cannibalistic groups have been seen many times.
During this time, due to the food shortage, the internal population of Guang Ming Base City has lost tens of thousands of people. As for the 300,000 ordinary civilians, now only 100,000 people are left. The rest have died of hunger and killing each other. "
Xu Tianguo sighed slightly. The conference hall fell silent.
Ye Chen didn't say anything.
Xu Tianguo continued, "In addition, there seems to be a big movement in North America recently. According to the branch of Guang Ming Base City in Russia, a base city called 'Celestial' has risen in North America. This base city has sent people to contact other base cities and formed the 'Celestial Alliance'."
