Chapter 1190: Chapter 642: Chu Mu’s Past

This twenty-seventh prince is named "Chu Mu".

He was found deep in the universe by the empire’s upper echelons after the great rebellion, a lost prince.

How could a prince with such noble status be lost? This involves the origins of the prince.

The princes of the Radiant Emperor were all cultivated in laboratories; essentially, they are artificial beings.

No one knows how many princes have been cultivated over the years or how many laboratories there are.

Many laboratories are top-secret, and very few people know the specific information.

Because the essence of these princes is that they are high-level beings of Subspace clad in human skin.

For example, the previous Prince of Brutal and the twenty princes who initiated the great rebellion were all such beings.

The related experiments are extremely dangerous; if they lose control, even the destruction of a River System would be negligible.

Therefore, the laboratories are kept away from human Colonial Stars, in locations rarely visited by people.

Additionally, due to special considerations, the empire’s Technology Nobles have hidden these laboratories through technology, destroyed related data records, and prevent anyone from knowing the related information.

Even the technicians who built the laboratories would undergo memory deletion to ensure that no information would leak.

Because the Subspace essence of those princes is so terrifying that even the mere awareness of their existence or possessing related memories would cause disasters.

Those laboratories rarely communicated with the outside world and had little knowledge of external affairs.

If an experiment encountered an accident, the entire laboratory would initiate a Self-destruct program, taking the technicians and the prince with it.

Under such strict confidentiality measures, as time went on, no one except the Radiant Emperor knew about these laboratories.

The laboratory where this Prince Chu Mu was located was in such a situation.

He was cultivated and born two thousand years before the great rebellion and underwent various technical adjustments in the laboratory.

Even though a hundred years after his birth, his strength had reached River System Level, he was not allowed to leave without orders from outside.

Though he had the strength to break out, he obediently stayed in the laboratory for nearly two thousand years.

While called a laboratory, its internal space had a scale of dozens of Constant Star Systems.

Using the empire’s space compression technology, such a large space was hidden within a dust particle, drifting in the depths of the universe.

Over hundreds of years, Prince Chu Mu, bored to no end, continuously expanded this laboratory space, even reaching near River System Level.

The descendants of the technicians in the laboratory thrived and developed within this River System Level laboratory.

Over two thousand years, these technicians’ descendants had developed a population reaching the trillion level, all submitted to the rule of Prince Chu Mu and lived very harmonious lives.

Prince Chu Mu naturally possessed great wisdom and strength, ensuring that this laboratory civilization steadily developed and its living standards were comparable to the external empire.

Prince Chu Mu was very happy to govern human civilization in this way, self-fulfilling.

Under his governance, this laboratory civilization even surpassed the external empire in some technological fields.

After all, the empire was too large, involved in too many domains.

This laboratory civilization was equivalent to an independent small country, specializing in specific fields and exceeding the Human Empire in those areas.

Of course, in certain fields, it surely couldn’t match the Human Empire.

Prior to the great rebellion, this was indeed the case.

When the great rebellion erupted, combined with the ensuing Subspace Tide, it dealt a heavy blow to the empire.

Although this Subspace Tide, due to Su Yu’s Source of Cause and Effect, made ancient Subspace entities like Saintly Sin, Evil Fate, Desire Corpse disappear,

other newly born Subspace entities based on human emotions like greed, gluttony, envy nevertheless brought about significant disasters.

Subspace gates of River System Level opened one after another, endless Subspace Demons rushing out.

Thus, the entire empire unavoidably fell into decline, many technologies were lost, countless humans died, and the living standards of the empire’s citizens plummeted.

The empire’s decline is part of "High-dimensional Destiny," and Su Yu’s return did alter this destiny somewhat, making the decline less severe overall; however, it was still harsh in comparison.

By this time, Su Yu had become a dried corpse, unable to intervene, and the empire had to face this disaster by itself.

Thus, the laboratory where Prince Chu Mu was located became an oasis, with both technology and living standards far surpassing the outside world.

Even if Subspace Demons attacked, Prince Chu Mu easily suppressed them.

Against this backdrop, Zhang Long and the empire’s upper echelons found Chu Mu’s laboratory deep in the universe through Star Tower scans.

Originally, due to the betrayal of the twenty princes, the empire’s upper echelons had lost trust in the princes.

But when they saw the laboratory civilization governed by Prince Chu Mu continuously developing even amid the Subspace Tide, they hesitated.

After secretly observing for a hundred years, they finally confirmed that Prince Chu Mu was different from other princes, possessing an intense humanity and love for the human race, proud of his human lineage.

Eventually, the empire’s upper echelons decided to bring Prince Chu Mu back, allowing this bloodline of the Radiant Emperor to return to the Zhendan Mother Star and govern the empire.

Zhang Long and others made this decision for three main reasons.

First, Chu Mu has formidable strength, even surpassing these upper echelons, and in the face of disaster, they need this powerful combat capability.

Second, Chu Mu bears the emperor’s bloodline; other upper echelons, though able to govern the empire, lack legitimacy. Many citizens only recognize the emperor, and Zhang Long and others, despite their power, found it hard to win people’s hearts, with some even suspecting them of attempting to usurp power. If left unchecked, it could trigger further rebellion.

Third, Prince Chu Mu demonstrated powerful governing abilities, which the empire urgently needed. Managing an empire covering billions of light years requires processing enormous information, a task hardly feasible, especially amid disaster. Zhang Long and the upper echelons were overwhelmed, unable to fathom how the previous Radiant Emperor managed. Thus, they could only hope for Chu Mu, the emperor’s bloodline with governing talent, to return and resolve the crisis.

Thus, under these various considerations, Prince Chu Mu was welcomed back to the Zhendan Mother Star and, after another century of observation, was officially crowned as the Regent Prince...
