The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

The starlight shone into Juehua City, warm and gentle.

However, the group standing in the void felt no warmth in their hearts at this moment.

Cortez hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Previously, for the sake of the so-called "big picture," he chose to remain silent. Now, as the dean of the academy, he consciously stands on the side of the academy and also chooses to remain silent.

Ji Chen's words, which were tacitly accepted, were not only unrestrained but also pushed the situation in an even more shocking direction.

Everyone knows that there can be no alien spies within the Federation.

Similarly, everyone here knows that something is wrong today.

Therefore, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment, except for Chu Xingyao, the Capricorn Inspector.

Chu Xingyao neither agreed nor disagreed with Ji Chen's answer, nor did he respond to Ji Chen's attempt to escalate the situation.

Although he was keen to find and severely punish the person who had dared to attack him earlier and who was suspected to be a governor, he had no intention of performing a radical "surgical operation" on the administrative system of Capricorn so soon after arriving.

He has a clear understanding of his own position.

To maintain order, minimize harm to ordinary federal citizens on the new immigrant planet, and uphold the credibility of the Federation.

"I'm going to temporarily suspend Galahad from his federal duties and take him to the Inspectorate for questioning. I hope Governor Pipsta won't object?"

Chu Xingyao turned to look at Fipsta.

Pipstad was taken aback for a moment, then his expression returned to normal, and he smiled as he said:

"Why would I have a problem with that? This is simply Inspector Chu's duty."

After speaking, he methodically directed the various tasks on site, organizing personnel to provide emergency treatment to those trapped inside the Nebula Building while coordinating efforts to repair the damage to the building. The entire process was orderly and demonstrated his professional competence.

He didn't look at Ji Chen once from beginning to end.

He seemed to be a truly selfless and devoted ruler who was wholeheartedly devoted to the people.

Ji Chen didn't look at him anymore, and quietly stayed by the dean's side, observing the relationship between these Capricorn leaders.

The dean is the most easygoing and doesn't care about anything, but everyone here, whether it's Phipsta or Chu Xingyao, every six-star superhuman here always inadvertently shows that they value his opinions.

Chu Xingyao exuded the most imposing aura, his every word and action carrying the unique presence of a top genius in the Federation. Apart from the Dean, he would directly confront anyone with a problem, showing no mercy whatsoever.

As for Qu Jihai, this old Bi Deng, apart from his slight disagreement with the newly arrived Chu Xingyao, he gets along extremely well with everyone else here.

During this time, Old Bi Deng took the initiative to say a few words to Ji Chen, praising him as the pride of the academy, for his great contribution in stopping the alien terrorists, and for promising to reward him upon his return to the academy.

One shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Ji Chen didn't mind that he treated the old man like a decoration and acted like the dean, accepting Qu Jihai's praise shyly, seemingly quite embarrassed.

Qu Jihai almost vomited, but he still patted Ji Chen's shoulder with great kindness, looking very happy.

The person in military uniform who held the position of garrison commander was a woman with a beautiful face, and she was standing quietly to the side at this moment.

This person seems to be uninvolved with everyone and appears to be a neutral party, but Ji Chen always felt that her relationship with Pipsta was unusual.

It is very likely that it is also a potential enemy.

After a flurry of activity, Governor Phipsta, citing his busy schedule, was the first to slip away.

Subsequently, just as the first domino was toppled, the garrison commander and Qu Jihai followed suit and broke away from here.

In a short time, most of the Capricorn nobles, who were just a large group of four- or five-star superhumans, disappeared.

"Dean Cortes, do you think there's something wrong with Capricorn's system?"

Chu Xingyao walked over at this moment.

"Um?"

The dean seemed to have just woken up, opening his slightly cloudy eyes.

"What problem? Has Inspector Chu discovered something?"

Ji Chen was almost dumbfounded. He never expected that an old man like him would actually use the methods of ordinary mortals and pretend to be senile.

Chu Xingyao was also taken aback by the dean's attitude and said no more.

"It's nothing. I just received news before I came that the Dream Seekers' activities are trending towards this area. We shouldn't let our guard down. Also, to prevent these evil cults from proselytizing during the chaos on the new planet, the welfare benefits for Capricorn citizens should be raised. Otherwise, it's hard to prevent new evil cult followers from emerging here."

Cortez's eyes were no longer cloudy.

"The Dream-Seeking Cult? That group of lunatics who believe dreams are the bridge connecting reality and other dimensions, who pursue dreams, and who fanatically worship dream weavers?!"

"That's right."

Both of their expressions turned serious.

As terrifying beings that have survived since the primordial era and have always been at the pinnacle of the universe, even the Federation has few ways to deal with these beings.

Even if you kill them by any means necessary, they will always be resurrected in some corner of the universe thousands of years later and continue to wreak havoc.

Especially the Pillar-level evil gods; the Federation has never even set a record for killing a Pillar-level evil god.

Although the Dream Weaver is not a Pillar-level evil god, it is still an ancient being and is extremely difficult to deal with.

"Then we really need to improve the welfare benefits for Capricorn. At the very least, entertainment facilities and living space need to be improved. I will gather the academy teachers and use unconventional methods to build several new cities for Capricorn."

Building a city is actually not difficult.

With a single large-scale earth and wood spell, a mage could easily build a new city.

The problem is that such a city cannot guarantee the quality of its buildings. If even a single three-star superhuman causes trouble, the city will fall apart.

In that case, it would be better not to build it at all.

Only by truly utilizing large-scale super-powered construction equipment, combining it with special super-powered materials produced by mechanics, and attaching stable magical rune arrays designed by mages, can a city that truly meets Federation standards be built.

But this basically means that the superhumans in the middle layer are being used as laborers.

The large expenses incurred during this period, including salaries, honors, and materials, were simply too much for a new planet with only seven cities to bear.

Even if the application is submitted to higher authorities and approved by the Nor system, it will encounter numerous difficulties due to problems such as the interstellar network being inaccessible, false reporting, and corruption by local federal officials on Capricorn.

In short, the difficulty of building on the new planet of the Federation is comparable to the demolition work in a first-tier city in Ji Chen's previous life.

Therefore, Cortez's willingness to take on this responsibility and be the first to gather the academy's teachers to respond to the Capricorn construction project was undoubtedly a considerable risk.

Cortes might go bankrupt because of this.

Chu Xingyao bowed to Dean Cortes to express his respect for the dean's selfless dedication.

"Don't worry, Dean, I will use all my connections to apply for assistance from higher-ups. I will make sure you don't suffer any losses."

Upon hearing this, Dean Cortes' tone suddenly changed.

"Xingyao, you old codger, I'm taking the liberty of calling you Xingyao. If I remember correctly, your father was a federal congressman, right? Could you... ..."
