Lu Ren felt that his political career had come to an end. No! If being serious, his whole life was probably over too.


He had offended a bloodling, a newborn bloodling, one that was still in its early stages.


What race were the bloodlings? They had existed since the start of the recorded history. The Galactic Union had broken apart and been reestablished an N number of times, every race had taken the spotlight and then went extinct, yet they remained a race which continued to thrive.


The entire galaxy knew that the race you must never mess with was this bunch of undying bloodlings. Their dreadfulness was not due to their valiant physique or their nature-defying self-healing ability, or even their ever-changing special abilities which everyone awakened, but one trait of their species which should have never existed, they were... Immortal!


Yes, immortal! No matter what kind of injuries they suffered, even if they were blown to bits with quantum canons, they would come back after a few decades if they were buried underground or soaked in water. This kind of species trait was virtually a computer-bug-like existence in the galaxy.


Just think, who can fight against people who just can't die. That's why for the first and only time, all the galactic species came to a collective consensus - Don't mess with the bloodlings!


And if one looked for a crime that was more serious than offending a bloodling, then it would be offending a newborn bloodling. The bloodling population wasn't high in numbers, and the entire galaxy had no more than a few million of them. This had led to another one of their characteristics, without care for anything, they focused on one thing - protecting their weak.


Even if some young bloodling did something wrong, then... It must be other people's fault!


Lu Ren could recall that a few hundred years ago an incident had occurred. A person had injured a newborn bloodling, and for it, his people suffered from a genocide level of retaliation. An initially flourishing species was now one of the endangered ones in the galaxy.


Lu Ren looked at the result of the genetic test, the almost blinding phrase of "bloodling", and felt his heart fill with desolation.


It was all over, all over, he was so dead.


What planet termination plan, what Galactic Union, what reason, what moral. These were all freaking bullsh*t in the eyes of bloodlings. He had offended a newborn, a bloodling newborn!What should I do? What should I do?


"Have you contacted the Red Planet yet?" Lu Ren was like an ant in a hot pan, moving around aimlessly in the control room.


"Commander, you have asked that question thirty-something times, we have already notified them in the morning."


"Did they send anyone over? Did they say anything?"


"Their support team has already departed, they will probably arrive soon."


"Then what about Miss Yao... No, the honorable lady bloodling? Has everything been arranged? Did she have any thoughts? Anything that she was displeased with? Did she say anything, especially regarding me?"
