Poverty makes me capable of anything.

fortunately.

On the other hand, he was also shocked by An Ran's rapid advancement.

Including her so-called "past life," in just 50 years, she actually grew from an ordinary person into a revered ruler of the star field.

This speed can be said to have broken the mold.

too fast.

Even though he hadn't caught An Ran by now, he still believed what the silver-haired youth had said.

"She is very likely a former star field ruler who died in the past and was resurrected for some unknown reason. The mechanic is different from other paths; her accumulated knowledge is still there, so even if she occupies an ordinary person's body, she can quickly regain her former strength."

The three exchanged a glance.

This fight cannot be fought.

If they are held back, they will fall into the hands of the exiled empire.

If anything goes wrong, even the Eternal Star Path won't be able to save them.

"Let it go this time."

After giving An Ran a cold look, the three of them turned around and left.

You like to keep things hidden, huh? We'll announce this news right away!

Ciqiya asked, "They've left, shouldn't we chase after them?"

An Ran shook her head: "The psychic eye is already attached to them. Letting them go will allow us to see who is behind it."

"Isn't it just those people from the Eternal Star Road who want to take revenge on you and me?"

"I don't think things are that simple."

Anran feigned profundity.

In fact, she already had the answer in her heart; it was most likely someone sent by Silver Moonlight.

But guesses are not reliable and cannot directly complete the task.

Otherwise, when doing this type of task, she could simply guess all the possible people involved, and the task would be completed easily.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

"Oh."

Ciqiya didn't take it to heart.

An Ran didn't plan to explain further; she would tell Ciqiya when things became clearer.

She first reported what had happened here, and proactively made a point of mentioning it—

That's right, I am now the ruler of the star field!

If I hadn't successfully advanced to the Star Domain Ruler level, I might be dead this time.

Before the people on Eternal Star Road announced it to the outside world, An Ran had already taken the initiative to "reveal" herself.

Take the way of others and leave others nowhere to go.

"what?"

The person in charge of receiving the message at the Exiled Empire's frontline command was taken aback.

He almost thought he had misheard.

After confirming several times, I realized I hadn't misheard, and An Ran wasn't joking.

"This is a serious matter and must be reported immediately."

The operator hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment."

Even before the battle between Ayla and Heda's clones, the Mechanicus was listed as a Level 1 observation target by the War Court.

As the founder of the Cult of the Machine God, An Ran was regarded by the War Court as one of the most promising Star Killers to advance to the Star Domain Ruler level.

The answer given by the court officials at the time was more than 40 years.

It takes about 40 years to get to the door, and then the same amount of time to cross the threshold.

This is a very reasonable guess.

But An Ran proved with facts that forty years? She only needed three years to advance to the Star Domain Ruler level!

"Even the Arbitrators would be shocked to hear this news, and other master-level mechanics would probably have something to say about it too."

The operator relayed the message.

Not long after, Heda, who was secretly "healing" in the command post, also received the intelligence.

"what?"

She suddenly stood up.

Is An Ran the ruler of the star field?

That day, when she went to cause trouble for the Cult of Machines, An Ran just sat by and watched the whole thing, which made Heda think that she was still far from being good enough.

"This guy is deliberately hiding it from me! That psionic servant wasn't controlled by Ella, but by her personally!"

For a fleeting moment, Heda wanted to reveal the true strength of the Mechanicus.

But in the end, she gave up.

An Ran will definitely retaliate then, and the news that she went to provoke him but got beaten up instead will spread throughout the starry sky.

"You bastard, you just wait, this won't be over so easily!"

The arbitrator issued an order.

Putting everything else aside, let's escort Anran to the command post first, and make sure there are no more accidents on the way.

The ripples caused by the news that An Ran had advanced to the Star Domain Ruler level were only just beginning to spread.

Chapter 63: An Ran is the protagonist again?

The first to receive the message were naturally those in the frontline command post.

In a relaxed bar, a group of high-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers took their seats.

They wouldn't normally discuss this topic, but when someone revealed the inside information that An Ran had been promoted to Star Domain Ruler, the gap between their statuses quietly disappeared.

A lieutenant colonel from the mechanical unit looked delighted: "So, our faction is about to gain another master-level mechanic?"

If the news is true, the direct beneficiaries will be those in the mechanized units.

This means their probability of death has decreased, while their probability of meritorious service has increased!

Another military officer, dressed in a sharp suit, put down his glass and said, "It's not certain yet, but the arbitrators have already sent someone to meet An Ran. I think the news will arrive in less than half an hour. Whether it's true or not, we'll know then."

"Do you think the arbitrators will allow Enron to immediately join the main battle?"

"This one……"

"It's hard to say, isn't it currently in a truce period?"

"I think there's an 80% chance that a Dominator-level Mechanic joining the war could very well disrupt the balance of a local conflict."

“I propose that An Ran not be allowed to join the mechanical unit; they already have two master-level mechanics!”

This statement immediately sparked a heated discussion among those around them.

"That's right, that's right. We can't let those people in the mechanized troops get all the benefits."

"Of course, a mechanic has to join a mechanical unit, otherwise what kind of mechanic would they be?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll apply to the higher-ups!"

"You think you can apply to be rescued?!"

As they chatted, the people in the bar started arguing.

However, this is a common occurrence. The territory ruled by the exiled empire is extremely vast, and it would be news if the various civilizations, races, and social classes didn't quarrel one day.

Everyone had long been used to it.

Therefore, they only talked a lot, but there was no sign of them actually doing anything.

But this scene didn't seem so funny to Hedda.

Why did they have to argue about where Anran went?

"Another one!"

She slammed the empty glass heavily on the counter.

The waiter quickly agreed.

I have no idea what Heda was doing while drunk.

But no matter what, he didn't dare to criticize this hot-tempered ruler.

……

the other side.

The spaceship sent out to investigate the situation at the first outpost received a message from the arbitrator while it was still en route.

"What? An Ran advanced to the Dominator level?"

"Stop there and don't move, I'm coming right away!"

The officer in charge of the sentry post looked serious.

They were about to be greeted by a spaceship carrying three star system rulers.

Even without the arbitrator's order, he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

The formation must be properly arranged.

Some star field rulers have very strange tempers. If you accidentally anger one, you'd better expect to be punished!

The officer had heard about it.

The prophet Anran of the Mechanicus has a less than favorable reputation.
