"Long live Your Majesty the Emperor!"

As Lanling landed on the surface of the Moon, 75,000 intelligent life soldiers at the A1 Star Force command center knelt down in unison, bowing their heads.

Lanling’s gaze swept across their faces; they truly bore no difference from regular humans. Even the steely fervor in their eyes and the firm muscles on their faces mirrored those of humans.

These weren’t merely robots, nor artificial intelligence; they were true life forms!

Lanling said, "As everyone knows, you weren’t created by lunar civilization; they do not have that capability. You are the creation of the Creator God, equal life forms in this world just like all the Demon Race and Humans. So, let’s stop using the term ’intelligent life.’ In this world, there are Humans and the Demon Race, why not add a Star Clan, because your core essence seems like it’s formed of countless stars. Yes, we’ll call you the Star Clan!"

"Long live, long live, long live!" All the intelligent life officers and soldiers became even more fervent.

Being named intelligent life inherently denotes inequality, akin to being labeled as robots, treated as tools rather than as life forms.

However, at this moment, Lanling directly abolished the title of intelligent life and named them Star Clan, an act tantamount to a rebirth, elevating them to an equal status alongside humans and the Demon Race.

At this moment, everyone on the ground was kneeling, with only Assistant Tang Mo standing.

Lanling stepped forward, smirking coldly, "Ms. Tang Mo, we meet again. I feel it hasn’t been long since our last parting, yet we meet again. Do you remember what I said before I left? I said I would return, that I declared war on you."

Tang Mo replied with a sneer, "Lanling, aren’t you getting a bit ahead of yourself? Indeed, having fifteen thousand intelligent life-forms defect and pledge loyalty to you surprised us, even caught us somewhat off guard. But that’s it; your fifteen thousand intelligent life rebels are merely ants to the lunar civilization, and we can easily crush them. You’re celebrating too early, and too naive to hide yourself."

...

"Has the Starforce Launcher not yet pierced through the Moon’s surface?" Lanling asked.

Ninth Group Army, Star Clan (intelligent life) Colonel Lan Dong replied, "Your Majesty, the lunar crust is composed of energetic material, quite formidable. Three rounds of star force bombardment have only torn open seventy percent, leaving a thickness of thirty-two thousand meters."

Lanling said, "We must hurry; the Moon Sanctum Supreme Council is either executing or imprisoning the Star Clan en masse or disarming them. We must race against time."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Colonel Lan Dong replied.

Lanling asked, "Is this the super battleship that transported you to the ground?"

Colonel Lan Dong replied, "Indeed, Your Majesty!"

Standing on the ground and looking at this super battleship, Lanling was amazed by its colossal size—over five thousand meters long, over a thousand meters wide, and over a hundred meters tall, akin to a moving city.

Each super battleship could transport an entire army group.

"Do these super battleships contain massive antimatter cores?" Lanling asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Colonel Lan Dong confirmed.

Lanling inquired, "How does the power of its antimatter cannon compare to the Star Force?"

Colonel Lan Dong responded, "Approximately one percent."

Lanling asked, "Can it penetrate the remaining lunar crust?"

Colonel Lan Dong replied, "In principle, it can. We have three Hailang-class battleships, and continuous attack on the remaining crust for three minutes should be enough to penetrate the energetic material crust. However, these battleships have been remotely locked, and we’ve lost control."

"Let me give it a try," Lanling said. "We must race against time!"

Lanling then directly created six avatars, with three heading to three super battleships and another two heading to the Starforce Launcher command room.

...

Lanling was indeed racing against time.

Because below the crust, the entire lunar civilization had already issued a summoning order, instructing all intelligent life to disarm and proceed to designated locations to board gigantic battleships.

Batch after batch of intelligent life was being transported to the Abyssal Prison.

However, there were simply too many intelligent life forms; just higher-level intelligent beings numbered five billion. Of course, the majority of these five billion are workers in basic positions, yet the intelligent life within the military exceeds thirty million.

Moreover, all law enforcement officers, security personnel, and other semi-military forces maintaining world order were composed of robots, exceeding two hundred million. However, the good news is that these two hundred million police and security personnel are lower-level energy life forms, belonging to artificial intelligence operated by crystal stone energy. This group has weak combat power and should not be under Lanling’s control.

Lunar civilization had suddenly deployed hundreds of gigantic battleships, requiring several batches to transport these intelligent life forms.

At this moment, every corner of lunar civilization was sounding alarms.

"Warning, all higher-level intelligent life forms please proceed to the nearest evacuation zone and board your respective battleships to carry out special tasks."

Moreover, a large number of Human Army, Demon Army, Skywalker Samurai Corps, and Gigantic Crystal Warrior Corps within lunar civilization were assembling en masse, preparing to deploy on the ground to suppress the rebellion.

...

The battleship Lanling perceived as super gigantic, while named Hailang-class Air Battleship by lunar civilization, belonged to a fourth-level battleship in the sequence, categorized as medium-large. Above it, there were three even more astounding classes of battleships.

Entering the battleship’s command center, Lanling couldn’t help but marvel; from a certain perspective, at least in weaponry, lunar civilization was astoundingly advanced.

Not to mention, if this Hailang-class battleship flew to Earth, it could annihilate all countries and armies on Earth without suffering any damage.

Modern Earth’s fighter jets or aircraft carriers would be primitive canoes in comparison.

"Your Majesty, the entire command center has been remotely locked," Colonel Lan Dong said. "So, this Hailang-class battleship is like a giant coffin, unable to fly or fight."

Colonel Lan Dong stepped forward and activated the main computer switch.

Suddenly, beams of light flashed, with numerous 3D images floating in the air.

This is a very modern, highly sci-fi command center, without screens, keyboards, or control sticks, just floating 3D images occupying the hundred square meters of the command room.

"Activate battleship engines," Colonel Lan Dong ordered.

Then a 3D image of a beautiful female officer appeared on the screen and said, "I’m sorry, all permissions for this battleship have been shut down. You don’t have the right to start the engines."

This was true artificial intelligence!

Colonel Lan Dong said, "Try to obtain permission!"

"I’m sorry, only citizens of rank nine or higher are qualified to obtain control of this battleship," the AI commander replied.

"Your Majesty, I’m merely a rank three citizen," Colonel Lan Dong said.

"No problem, let me..." Lanling said.

Then he directly transformed into light, entering the battleship’s command center mainframe!

Sure enough, the command center of the entire battleship was a super intelligent life form, even more advanced than Shi Yiyue, an intelligent life form utilizing cosmic star principles but lacking core tri-star, thus Lanling could not activate it.

Those with core tri-star are almost akin to life forms, possessing self-will, capable of independent thought, experiencing emotions. Because the three stars’ gravitational, light and dark energy flows constantly alter their trajectories.

While lacking core tri-star function strictly according to universal gravitational laws. Though powerful and advanced, they lack emotions and self-will, thus are not true soul life forms.

Lanling could not activate it, but he could easily delve into each light point.

Even without addressing every light point, just focusing on a few million core light points would grant him maximum authority over this battleship.

Lanling truly raced against time; his energy light swiftly permeated every key node of the Hailang battleship’s intelligence center AI, akin to a hacker infiltrating.

His brain, merged with Yao Xing, in intelligence and wisdom, truly becoming almost omnipotent.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes, five minutes...

Fifteen minutes later!

Lanling conquered all AI nodes of the battleship’s command center.

"You have gained supreme command authority over the battleship!"

Lanling commanded, "Start the engines, head to the destination!"

"As you command!"

Instantly, the three Hailang-class battleships flew toward the massive tear in the lunar crust, ready to continue their assault!

...

Meanwhile, Lanling’s other two avatars were still racing against time, seeking supreme command authority over the Starforce Launcher command center AI.

All five avatars were busy, leaving only one avatar unoccupied!
