I controlled the entire Zerg race with my superb culinary skills.

Amidst everyone's shock, Wang Xingheng continued to submit defense materials, which detailed Chu Yang's contributions to the Zerg over the years.

This includes, but is not limited to, voluntary blood donation, boosting the planet's economy, providing numerous jobs, increasing government tax revenue, and providing charitable funding.

The presiding judge looked at the stack of documents in his hand about Chu Yang's contributions to the Zerg, and tremblingly took out a white handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Finally, he struck the small hammer, and the scene fell silent again.

"The court will now be in recess for 10 minutes. The verdict will be announced in 10 minutes."

During the recess, Chu Yang was taken back to the detention room. At the same time, the Insect King looked at the information about Chu Yang in his hand and fell into deep thought.

The judge stood beside him, first wiping the sweat from his brow with a handkerchief, then speaking softly to the Insect King.

“Your Majesty, Lord Chu Yang is currently the only S-rank male insectoid in the Zerg race. Based on that alone, he does not deserve to die. Moreover, he can also grow vegetables. If you insist on sentencing him to death, it will arouse public outrage.”

Compared to the murder of Prince Wenrui's family, I believe all the insects think that Chu Yang is the most precious. Besides, the Wen family has done a lot of bad things in the past, so they don't deserve any sympathy.

The Insect King closed his eyes, his face expressionless as he gripped the documents tightly in his hand. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and glanced sideways at the presiding judge.

In the live stream chat, everyone started to speak out in support of Chu Yang.

Lord Chu Yang is innocent; please release him immediately!

[That's right, the Wen family is guilty. They committed countless evil deeds, harmed children, and deserve to die.]

We support Lord Chu Yang, the only S-rank male insect, who has fought against alien beasts multiple times; his merits outweigh his demerits.

Lord Chu Yang is innocent!

……

Ten minutes later, the trial resumed. The presiding judge nervously swallowed as he looked at the revised verdict from the Insect King.

His handkerchief was soaked with sweat. Although he also supported Lord Chu Yang's innocence, he could not disobey the Insect Emperor.

"I hereby announce that, in view of Lord Chu Yang's merits, he is to be spared the death penalty."

The scene erupted in uproar once again as Shen Nanxi and the others excitedly watched Chu Yang sitting in the middle of the courtroom.

However, Chu Yang was not that excited. How could the Insect Emperor give up such a good opportunity?

"but!"

The insects, who had been excited, became tense again, which Chu Yang found to be expected.

"Chu Yang intentionally harmed His Highness the Crown Prince, and his behavior was heinous. He is now sentenced to 100 years in prison on a desolate planet and exiled to a mobile desolate planet."

Wang Xingheng couldn't believe the verdict. A floating desolate star was a far more terrifying existence than an ordinary desolate star.

It's not because of a lack of resources or a harsh environment, but because the floating wasteland disappears every ten years and only reappears after ten years.

Moreover, the position where it reappears is not on the original coordinate axis.

Researchers who studied the insectoid planet previously came to a terrifying conclusion.

That means it must have appeared in the alien beast's lair during the ten years that the floating desolate star disappeared.

Exile to such a desolate planet is tantamount to a death sentence. From ancient times to the present, no insect has ever been able to return alive from a wandering desolate planet.

"Your Honor, are you sure you haven't made a mistake in this conclusion?"

When Wang Xingheng arrived at the courtroom, he thought he must be too old and had misread the situation.

"That's right, this is the result, the result personally pronounced by His Majesty the Insect Emperor."

[What? The Insect Emperor himself pronounced the verdict?]

【Wandering Wasteland Star = Death Penalty】

I object; Lord Chu Yang should be acquitted!

I also object!

.........

The live stream was instantly flooded with comments praising Chu Yang's innocence, causing the system to crash.

Chu Yang was not surprised by this result at all. If the Insect King declared himself innocent, he would never be able to sleep peacefully again.

"Your Honor, according to the law, Chu Yang's family can use their social contribution points and military merits to offset his sentence, is that right?"

At this moment, Li Yang stood up, his hands tightly gripping his pockets, his eyes fixed intently on the live stream camera. He knew that the Insect Emperor was watching.

"Ah, yes, but Lord Chu Yang has no family members, so this claim is invalid."

As Li Yizhou watched his female father walk step by step to the center of the courtroom, the matter in his heart was about to be revealed. He took out the pocket watch from his pocket and held it tightly in his hand.

"Yes, Chu Yang has another family member, my daughter, Li Yizhou."

Upon hearing this, all the insects' gazes fell on Li Yizhou, who then stood up and strode toward the center of the courtroom.

Chu Yang looked at the father and son in surprise. He would not agree to marry Li Yizhou at this time.

Li Yang glanced at his female child, and from her determined gaze, he took out the marriage contract.

"This is the engagement letter that Lan He, the father of Chu Yang, wrote by his own hand for my daughter Li Yizhou and his son Chu Yang."

An engagement certificate? Chu Yang never expected such a thing to exist. Why didn't Li Yang and Wen Huaijin tell him about it before?

The presiding judge looked at the marriage certificate that Li Yang handed over. It was indeed the legally recognized format for a marriage certificate, except that Chu Yang's name was added later.

"This marriage certificate is valid, General Li. Will you use your military merits to exchange for a reduced sentence for Lord Chu Yang?"

"Yes, I'll use all my military merits to get a 100-year reduction in my sentence."

The military merits accumulated over the years are so numerous that they are enough to help Chu Yang reduce his sentence by 100 years.

Just as the judge was about to strike the gavel to pronounce the verdict, the Insect King walked out from behind.

The hammer also stopped in mid-air, and the insects on site fell silent once again, all looking nervously at the expressionless insect king.

"General Li's military merits only allow for a 50-year reduction in his sentence. The remaining 50 years must be served. After all, the Crown Prince is the future Insect Emperor. Chu Yang has shown contempt for imperial authority and must be punished. Therefore, I hereby announce that the sentence will be served for 50 years."

After delivering the verdict, the Insect King immediately turned and left, silently praying that Chu Yang would never return.

"elder brother…"

"The hero..."

Shen Nanxi and the others watched helplessly as Chu Yang was escorted away by the female guards, who then rushed over the railings of the audience seating area and ran quickly toward him.

"Don't worry, I'll be back and take good care of the babies."

Fifty years is a short time for the Zerg. Chu Yang waved goodbye to his close friends and family, and as he did so, he met Li Yizhou's gaze. He smiled slightly at him.

The entire StarNet opposed the punishment of Chu Yang, believing that Chu Yang was innocent.

Jin Ke, as the head of Chu Yang's fan club, directly organized fans to launch a march across the entire intergalactic world in support of Chu Yang's innocence.

Wen Huaijin has not gone back these past few days. He has been staying at Li Yang's house. After seeing the Insect King's verdict in the live broadcast, he immediately decided to take the Insect King to break into the prison and rescue Chu Yang.

As Chu Yang was leaving, he gave the live stream camera a confident smile.

"It's only 50 years. I, Chu Yang, will be back."

This time, fearing another unforeseen event, the Insect King directly ordered Chu Yang to be exiled that very day.

Looking in the direction where Chu Yang disappeared, Li Yizhou made a decision in his heart.

"Father, I want to go into exile with Chu Yang."

Li Yang looked at him with a slight tremor in his eyes, and finally let go of his clenched fist, patting Li Yizhou on the shoulder.

"If you've made up your mind, your father won't stop you."

"Thank you, Father. Please take good care of things on D06 planet from now on."

After Li Yizhou finished speaking, he quickly followed Chu Yang and left together.
