Chapter 1663: Chapter 1110: Shadows of the Past_3
It was at that moment, Dada Niel learned that his ancestor was a Merchant Voyager. He traveled aboard something called a “Warship,” flying back and forth in the Universe, vaster than any ocean, and his world was just a small planet amongst it all……
Since then, Dada Niel’s mindset changed. For him, being a Prince or an Emperor no longer held any meaning. He wanted to be like his ancestors, to venture into space, explore the unknown, and expand the star map in the name of The Emperor!
Dada Niel got lucky; using those materials, he discovered an old, broken-down Warship in an abandoned, long-forgotten repair factory. Of course, Dada Niel had no understanding of this thing, but fortunately, the factory still had sealed Mecha Servants. After waking them up, Dada Niel gradually learned about the Warship.
So he made a decision: to repair this old, broken Warship, then head into space and become a Merchant Voyager just like his ancestor!
Initially, Dada Niel longed for the help of the Royal Family, but to others, it was merely an ancient legend. They were more interested in power struggles than exploring the Star Sky. Moreover, they viewed Dada Niel as a strange, mentally challenged Prince.
Dada Niel had no interest in the throne, but the calm was disrupted by the windy strife; other Princes tried to eliminate their rivals, and naturally, Dada Niel was among them. They even fabricated charges, claiming Dada Niel was lured by the Devil, had turned into a symbol of evil, and needed to be imprisoned and secretly executed to prevent him from spreading absurd ideas.
Upon learning all this, Dada Niel finally made a decision. He gathered a group of like-minded individuals and, before his other brothers could act, escaped to the repair factory, started the repaired Warship, and directly left the planet, beginning his life as a Merchant Voyager.
Of course, dreams are beautiful, but reality is harsh. Dada Niel quickly discovered that the Universe posed far more threats than the Royal City. He was once kidnapped by local natives, encountered Alien Monsters attacks, and even pirates. Several years passed with ups and downs, and Dada Niel’s situation couldn’t be described as good; at best, he was barely making a living in the Universe.
There were even times when Dada Niel thought how dangerous the Universe was and considered going back home or finding a random planet to live a stable life. Yet the longing for his ancestor made him grit his teeth and persist.
Until one day, during a pirate attack, he encountered the Tribunal……
“……If it weren’t for all of you, I might just be another ordinary space runner in the Universe now, perhaps even struggling with daily survival. Thanks to the Tribunal, I have achieved what I have today……”
“Alright, alright, I didn’t come here to listen to your flattery.”
Duanmu Huai waved his hand, interrupting Dada Niel’s flattering remarks.
“So, are you returning home in glory?”
“Yes, Great Judge, as you can see, with the current level of civilization on this planet, they are no match for me.”
Dada Niel felt very proud as he said this. It’s no wonder. Duanmu Huai had seen it along the way; the soldiers on this planet were currently using guns filled with black powder like those from World War I…… This showed how degraded the civilization level of this world had become.
Such a level of civilization, when encountering Dada Niel’s Cosmic Fleet, would be crushed, wouldn’t it?
“My family has already forgotten the past glory and History, but I haven’t. Therefore, I’m going to hold an inaugural ceremony here, abolish the Emperor and the Royal Family. I want the people here to remember once again, I am…… a Merchant Voyager! And our gaze must not be so constrained by gravity on the ground; instead, we must face the Universe, face the future!”
Seeing the passionately inspiring Dada Niel in front of him, Duanmu Huai reached out to touch Ogis’s little head.
What can be said…… it’s a kind of dream, I suppose.
