Chapter 1281.
The empire’s superpowers are categorized into natural awakening and enhanced awakening.
Natural Awakening belonged to the natural supernatural ability, which had appeared hundreds or thousands of years ago, and was usually called “Inhuman” in history, giving rise to countless stories and legends.
Enhanced awakening, on the other hand, appeared after the large-scale application of genetic enhancement technology.
The number of superpowered people with enhanced awakening far exceeded the number of naturally awakened people.
In the beginning, the empire was very interested in supernatural abilities and classified them as highly confidential, investing a large amount of manpower and resources in research.
As a result, after spending countless amounts of money, it was discovered that there was no way to artificially control the awakening of superpowers, and that whether it was natural or enhanced depended on luck, and that it was a matter of probability at best.
The most important thing is that the vast majority of superpowers are useless – they are basically dregs compared to high-tech.
For example, some people can make fire with their hands, but a 50-star multifunctional lighter can beat this ability.
When it comes to combat, there’s even less use for superpowers.
The Empire created a super-soldier program and set it up through the Holy Light Institute, and nothing came of it for decades.
Due to its limited value, to this day, the empire does not have a complete system of superpowers.
Until the appearance of Wang dust.
Wang dust awakened supernatural ability is very strong, in the special combat performance is extremely outstanding, so alarmed the empire high level.
The last time the Sacred Light Research Institute sent someone over to conduct a comprehensive ability test on him, it was the authorization from the top management, and many people wanted to figure out just how strong Wang Chen’s ability was and whether there was any possibility of replicating it.
The ripples caused by the battle on Senghai Star had caused the higher-ups of the empire to be extremely interested in Wang Chen’s supernatural ability.
A special talent like Wang Chen naturally had to be firmly in the hands of the empire.
Even if he was already an Imperial soldier.
That was why the Chief Officer of the Security Bureau and the Vice President of the Sacred Light Research Institute, two of the higher-ups of the empire, had joined forces.
In fact, in the upper echelons of the Sacred Capital, there were two opinions against Wang Chuan, the superpower.
One thought that Wang Chuan was too dangerous, and once he lost control, the consequences were unimaginable, so he should be imprisoned, and his supernatural abilities should be thoroughly researched.
The other was against it, believing that the empire couldn’t persecute a hero, and that Wang Chuan could be polished into an incomparably sharp sword, so that he could fight for the empire against the thorns and thistles.
Each of these two opinions had its own rationale, and the weight of the supporters was very heavy, and at one point they were at loggerheads.
But in the end, it was His Majesty the Emperor who sealed the deal.
So the cabinet quickly passed the application for a program to establish an imperial superpower system, thus formally incorporating Wang Chen into this brand new system, allowing him to continue to shine for the empire!
It was only two weeks before and after the program, but what happened during that time could be described as thrilling.
Gu Yanchang, who was one of the people in the know and one of the plan makers, looked at Wang Dust who was sitting across from him, his heart turned over countless thoughts before he spoke, “Major Wang Dust, you are currently known to be the strongest super-power person in the empire, and as the saying goes, the bigger the ability, the bigger the responsibility, we hope that you can participate in the construction of this new system and contribute your own share of power. ”
His expression was solemn, and his speech was even more solemn, carrying an irrefutable majesty.
Wang Chen, who had just learned about the origins of the so-called “Imperial Superpower System”, nodded without moving: “It is my duty to serve the Empire, and I am very willing to participate in this program.”
Although he had already obtained the source power of the Star Ocean World and had refined it into a World Ring, he could return to the Haotian Realm at any time and did not need to fear any threats or control.
However, if he left in such a hurry, it would be very difficult to come back again, not to mention the high cost, the fruits that he had currently pioneered in this world could not be retained, and he would have to start all over again.
The upper limit of the Star Ocean World was extremely high, the Cangqing Realm was far from comparable, and was more suitable to become the foundation of his path.
Therefore, Wang Chen decided to continue to stay in this world to plough deeper and tap into his own potential, and return to the Haotian Realm after he had full and complete preparations to maximize the benefits of his first descent.
And the success that Wang Chen had achieved so far was closely related to the big tree of the Holy Light Empire, he was already within the system of the empire, and there was absolutely no need for him to jump out unless it involved issues of fundamental interest.
As a matter of fact, Gu Yanchang didn’t need to say these words of official authority, and Wang Dust was still happy to do something for the Empire.
This chief officer of the Security Bureau was obviously used to giving orders and had been in the upper echelon for a long time, so he didn’t have much respect for Wang Chuan, the “strongest superpower in the empire”, in his words.
“Very well.”
Gu Yanchang was satisfied with Wang Chen’s stance, and then asked, “According to the information you provided, we have captured a large number of infidels lurking within the empire.”
“And some of them have explained that the sacred fire of the Sacred Fire Society is enshrined in the underground temple of Senhai Star.”
“According to these heretics, the sacred fire is the source of power through which they awakened their supernatural abilities, and since the establishment of the Sacred Fire Society, it has never left the temple, so why is there no information about the sacred fire in your report?”
Gu Yanchang’s tone gradually became harsh as he looked straight at Wang Dust, his eyes flashing with a regal light.
The Sacred Flame Society that Wang Dust had unearthed on Senghai Star was no ordinary pagan organization; previously, the Empire had known almost nothing about their existence, and the available intelligence had only treated it as a part of the rebel forces, without paying much attention to it.
As a result, over the past two weeks, the Imperial Security Bureau, in conjunction with several departments, had launched a plowing operation and unearthed members of the Holy Fire Society hidden on dozens of life planets in the empire, at different levels.
They were both ordinary civilians, as well as clerics and even nobles, some were merchants, some were officials, and even the Imperial Army had Holy Fire believers within it.
The biggest guy currently involved was actually an Imperial Marquis!
What surprised the imperial high command was that the members of the Sacred Fire Society were very united, and most of them possessed supernatural abilities, only that they usually hid them very deeply.
The Imperial Security Bureau didn’t have much defense at first, and as a result, they lost a lot of troops and suffered a lot of losses in the capture operation.
And all the intelligence showed that the reason why these members of the Sacred Fire Society were able to possess all kinds of superpowers was mainly because they had come into contact with the Sacred Flame enshrined in Mori Hai Xing.
This caused the Imperial Higher-ups to become extremely interested in the Sacred Flame.
One of Gu Yanchang’s purposes in questioning Wang Chen was to find the whereabouts of the Sacred Flame.
“I didn’t see the so-called sacred fire in the temple.”
And in response to Gu Yanchang’s questioning, Wang Dust replied frankly, “When I entered the temple, all I saw were the devotees, who were so crazy and brazen that I had no way to stay my hand but to kill them all.”
This is called death without proof.
