    Chapter 320

    Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

    Su Hao turned twenty.

    That made him mutter to himself,

    "These past two years have been remarkably peaceful."

    "Not a single life-threatening incident."

    "Could it be..."

    "...that the so-called reincarnation crisis has finally disappeared?"

    Years of habit had made Su Hao overlook one simple fact.

    He was no longer the person he once was.

    Back then...

    Almost any powerful martial artist could threaten his life.

    Now...

    He had become the challenge that everyone else had to overcome.

    Once...

    He had been swept away by floods.

    Now...

    He could decide where those floods flowed.

    Perhaps the crises he had once feared...

    Had already been casually cut down by a passing swing of his sword.


    ---

    Over these two years...

    Su Hao successfully completed another long-planned objective—

    The Rune Teleportation Array.

    Its only obvious flaw...

    Was that both teleportation arrays had to be activated simultaneously.

    Activating only one side could not establish a stable spatial connection.

    There was currently no solution to this problem.

    Su Hao could only accept it for the time being.

    At least...

    It was better than having nothing at all.

    Perhaps future advances in spatial technology would eventually solve this limitation.


    ---

    While exploring the Secondary Star...

    Su Hao also discovered a unique substance.

    He named it...

    Life-Inducing Essence.

    It appeared as yellow crystalline deposits that covered nearly the entire surface of the planet.

    Within the oxygen-rich environment of the Secondary Star...

    This substance greatly stimulated plant growth.

    Combined with the planet's relatively low gravity...

    It created the astonishing ecosystem found there.

    Not only did the Life-Inducing Essence affect plants...

    It also influenced animals in a similar way.

    After completely understanding its underlying principles...

    Su Hao successfully derived a brand-new rune.

    Growth.

    He couldn't help laughing.

    "So..."

    "People who dream of becoming six feet tall finally have hope."

    Although this new rune seemed rather impractical...

    Su Hao wasn't disappointed.

    After all...

    The joy came from the research itself.

    Then another thought suddenly crossed his mind.

    "What if humanity evolves into dwarfs someday?"

    "Better keep this rune around just in case."


    ---

    Space distorted slightly.

    The next instant...

    Su Hao disappeared from the Secondary Star.

    Without any noticeable passage of time...

    He appeared on the Main Star.

    The immense distance between the two planets felt as though it simply didn't exist.

    His destination...

    Was a teleportation point reserved exclusively inside Yashan's laboratory.

    Although...

    Calling it a laboratory wasn't entirely accurate anymore.

    In Su Hao's opinion...

    It resembled Yashan's kitchen far more than a research lab.

    The moment he arrived...

    A rich aroma drifted through the air.

    Turning around...

    He saw an entire table filled with freshly prepared dishes.

    Steam still rose from them.

    Without the slightest hesitation...

    Su Hao sat down and began eating.


    ---

    Not long afterward...

    Yashan returned.

    After the two finished their meal...

    Yashan immediately began reporting.

    "Boss Wei."

    "You came back at exactly the right time."

    "Let me update you on the progress of the Pet Home Project."

    "The second phase officially concludes tomorrow."

    "Everything has proceeded almost exactly according to schedule."

    "The third phase will begin immediately afterward."

    "This will be the first public appearance of Pet Home."

    "Whether it succeeds or fails..."

    "...depends entirely on this step."

    He smiled proudly.

    "The Management Bureau has made extensive preparations."

    "They've even commissioned novels..."

    "Comics..."

    "Animated series..."

    "And all kinds of promotional material centered around Spirit Beasts."

    After pausing briefly...

    Yashan frowned.

    "My only concern..."

    "...is the Summoners Association."

    "They've already noticed what we've been doing."

    "They're trying to investigate us."

    "But that's not a problem."

    "I've already prepared a countermeasure."

    "If they interfere..."

    "I'll personally expose every one of their Senators."

    "I'll accuse them all of being members of the Resistance Association."

    "With my identity as Rebel Butcher No. 000..."

    "No one will question it."

    "Besides..."

    "The Resistance Association has already resumed kidnapping children throughout the world."

    "Once I point everyone's attention toward the Summoners Association..."

    "They'll be far too busy dealing with public opinion to interfere with Pet Home."

    Over the years...

    Yashan had finally learned how to be a competent assistant.

    He proactively reported progress.

    Presented possible problems.

    Proposed solutions.

    And predicted future developments.

    After quietly listening...

    Su Hao casually replied,

    "I already know."

    "There's indeed a Senator inside the Summoners Association."

    "She's also the current leader of the Resistance Association."

    Yashan froze.

    "What...?"

    Su Hao thought for a moment before continuing.

    "It's Senator Jiang."

    "She's currently the highest-ranking remaining member of the Resistance Association."

    Yashan stared blankly at him.

    He had never once doubted Boss Wei's information.

    But he was still deeply shocked.

    The Summoners Association...

    Represented justice.

    Its Ten Senators stood at the pinnacle of humanity.

    Yet one of them...

    Was secretly leading the Resistance Association?

    Earlier...

    He had only intended to fabricate accusations against the Senators.

    Simply to distract them from interfering with the Pet Home Project.

    Unexpectedly...

    His random slander had actually struck the truth.

    Yashan sighed helplessly.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "This world truly keeps surprising me."

    Su Hao smiled faintly.

    "And you think this is surprising?"

    "You haven't seen the truly unbelievable things yet."

    After thinking for a while...

    Yashan asked,

    "Boss Wei."

    "Since you've known Senator Jiang's identity all along..."

    "Why didn't you expose or kill her immediately?"

    "Were you waiting for an opportunity..."

    "...to eliminate all the remaining rebels at once?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    "That's one reason."

    "Now that you know..."

    "How to deal with the matter is up to you."

    Yashan clenched his fists.

    "I think we should eliminate as many of them as possible."

    "If you discover the location of another Resistance gathering..."

    "Just inform me."

    "I'll personally send them on their way."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "No problem."

    In reality...

    He knew that even if the rebels gathered...

    It still wouldn't accomplish much.

    Their meetings were held on the Secondary Star.

    Unless Su Hao could determine the palace's exact location...

    It would be impossible to wipe them out in a single operation.

    Unfortunately...

    Despite searching for quite some time...

    He still hadn't located that hidden palace.


    ---

    After Yashan left...

    Su Hao quietly reflected on the matter.

    The rebels continued targeting helpless children.

    To him...

    They were no different from annoying flies buzzing around a dining table.

    If they weren't completely eliminated...

    They would never stop causing trouble.

    Previously...

    He hadn't seriously searched for their headquarters.

    His attention had been focused entirely on completing the Rune Teleportation Array.

    Now that the array had been perfected...

    He finally had time to deal with them properly.

    After organizing his thoughts...

    A complete plan quickly formed.

    First...

    The public launch of the Pet Home Project would inevitably throw the Resistance Association into panic.

    Within a month...

    They would almost certainly hold another large-scale meeting.

    Second...

    Locating their palace was entirely possible.

    If Su Hao found one of the Genesis Monarch parasite hosts...

    He could secretly create a small dagger containing a Positioning Stone engraved with his own spatial coordinates.

    During a surprise attack...

    He only needed to stab the host once.

    The host would naturally teleport away...

    Carrying the Positioning Stone directly back to the palace.

    Using that Positioning Stone...

    Su Hao could then teleport there himself.

    Finally...

    He would secretly arrive ahead of time...

    And quietly construct a Dual Suppression Force Field inside the palace.

    When every remaining rebel gathered...

    He and Yashan would teleport in simultaneously...

    Activate the suppression field...

    And massacre every last one of them.

    Su Hao smiled faintly.

    "I think..."

    "...this plan is entirely feasible."
