Major General Alpha (Extra): Whatever happens, he will let himself go in the future!

No matter how angry Gu Juntian was, it was useless. His outrageous behavior in front of Zhou Qinghao had already been broadcast live to the entire internet, and everyone knew about it.

He had even seen dedicated edited clips.

Looking at the densely packed warships all around, Gu Juntian realized in grief and indignation that the people inside these ships were probably all watching the live broadcast.

Of course, there were things that depressed him, but also things that made him happy.

For example, the matter of overthrowing the royal family — someone had already done it for him.

The plan he had laid out in the live broadcast was now pinned to the top of the StarNet’s headlines, and under Marshal Lei’s leadership, countless people were helping him carry it out.

It was just… absurd.

Standing at the spaceship’s hatch, Gu Juntian’s expression shifted several times before he noticed adjutant Wang poking his head around nearby.

Gu Juntian looked at him and gave a sinister smile. “adjutant Wang, you knew about this last night. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Wang coughed lightly. “Lieutenant General Gu, you were recovering from your injuries. I didn’t want to disturb you.”

Gu Juntian stared at him for a moment, then took a deep breath. “So now… the entire Empire knows what I’m like?”

Wang replied, “Not exactly. Some people are disconnected from the net doing research or on missions in places without a network. They probably still don’t know about what’s online.”

Gu Juntian chuckled coldly. “Didn’t know you were this funny, adjutant Wang.”

Wang awkwardly yet politely replied, “I learned it from you, Lieutenant General Gu.”

Gu Juntian took a deep breath. “Forget it. Since it’s already like this… I’ll come clean. I’m done pretending!”

Whatever happens, happens. From now on, he would let himself run wild! Do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted!

Come to think of it, living like this wasn’t bad at all.

With an air of “giving up on treatment,” Gu Juntian watched as many people came out from the surrounding ships to greet him.

“Lieutenant General Gu!”

“Lieutenant General Gu, you killed the Zerg Queen! Once we return, you’ll definitely be promoted to General!”

“Lieutenant General Gu, if you want to be a Marshal, we can help you!”

…

“I do have a favor to ask,” Gu Juntian said.

“Just say the word, Lieutenant General! As long as we can do it, we’ll help you!” Everyone replied.

Gu Juntian clenched his fist. “I really love fighting. Can you guys have a match with me?”

The generals: “…”

And so, those generals all took a beating from Gu Juntian.

After smelling Zhou Qinghao’s pheromones, the restless energy in Gu Juntian finally dissipated, and his mood improved.

The public didn’t dislike his over-the-top personality. In fact, now that he had won over the people’s hearts, things were pretty good.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Juntian looked at the bruised and battered people on the ground, then turned to Zhou Qinghao. “Qinghao, let’s go see the Zerg Queen’s corpse!”

“Alright,” Zhou Qinghao replied with a smile.

The two went to look at the corpse, while viewers marveled in the live chat:

“Lieutenant General Gu’s combat power is insane!”

“This is what a super-S level’s strength looks like?”

“There were seven S-level powerhouses present, and he knocked them all down!”

“I heard the government is discussing adding SS-level and SSS-level above S-level.”

“If that’s true, Lieutenant General Gu might actually become an SSS-level!”

…

Gu Juntian didn’t end the live broadcast.

Since his dark history was already out, stopping the stream now was pointless — might as well keep going.

Of course, come night, he’d definitely turn it off.

His private life with Zhou Qinghao was not something he wanted to broadcast to the world!

Still, he hadn’t expected the Second Prince to not only target Zhou Qinghao, but also orchestrate such a broadcast.

This reminded him of the original storyline.

In the original plot, the original Gu Juntian encountered danger on a barren planet and was rescued by Zhou Qinghao. They escaped by spaceship and then ran into his own subordinates.

He fell unconscious, and when he woke up, he was already in the Second Prince’s hands.

Gu Juntian had always wondered how the Second Prince had such an ability to make all of the original owner’s subordinates betray him.

But what if… there had been a live broadcast back then too?

The Second Prince could have first released footage of the original owner stealing Zhou Qinghao’s military credit, refusing to give support, causing Zhou Qinghao’s defeat, and leading to heavy casualties among Zhou Qinghao’s troops.

Then, broadcast the original owner’s condition.

In the original plot, the original owner only faced one high-level Zerg, yet as an S-level, he was beaten to the brink of death and rendered useless.

When Zhou Qinghao came to help, the original abandoned him and fled.

Unlike him, the original owner couldn’t redeem himself by killing the Zerg Queen.

So, the original owner would have been hated across the net. Marshal Lei would be implicated too.

Seeing Zhou Qinghao’s miserable situation, the First Legion’s generals would resent Marshal Lei. With Lei struggling to protect himself, he naturally couldn’t protect the original owner.

That’s how the original owner, a prince and Lieutenant general, ended up being sent to a garbage planet.

As for the Second Prince… in the original plot, he likely married Amos, an S-level Omega, and lived happily ever after.

The original owner deserved his fate, but the Second Prince colluding with the Zerg and still getting a happy ending was truly infuriating.

Fortunately, things were different now.

At the moment, the Third Legion was scouring the galaxy for the Second Prince.

Gu Juntian and his group didn’t immediately leave the barren planet.

For one reason — high-level Zerg everywhere seemed to have sensed the Queen’s death and were all heading toward the barren planet.

After discussing with Marshal Lei, Gu Juntian decided to stay, both to dissect and study the Zerg Queen’s corpse and to ambush incoming high-level Zerg.

When they came, he’d kill them one by one. Two came? Kill both.

High-level Zerg were intelligent, but their society was different from humans — the Queen was both their mother and leader.

Now that the Queen was dead, they were charging toward the barren planet in a frenzy.

Or maybe they weren’t frenzied — maybe they were coming to die with her.

In any case, those lying in wait by the Queen’s corpse ended up wiping out the rest of the high-level Zerg.

As for mid- and low-level Zerg, they were too numerous and could reproduce, so extinction wouldn’t happen quickly.

But it didn’t matter — they could be hunted down slowly.

By the time the high-level Zerg were all gone and Gu Juntian returned to the capital star, the royal family no longer existed.

The Emperor and Second Prince had indeed colluded with the Zerg, and they had committed numerous other crimes.

As a result, both were imprisoned, destined to spend the rest of their lives on the prison planet.

The so-called prison planet was actually a mining planet. Prisoners sent there were placed under strict supervision and forced to mine to atone for their crimes.

Minor offenders weren’t sent there — only serious criminals, many sentenced to hundreds of years.

The Emperor and Second Prince were even more impressive — both sentenced to over a thousand years.

They could forget about ever leaving the prison planet.

According to imperial law, Gu Juntian, as the legal heir, inherited the former Emperor’s assets.

Although the royal family was gone, privileges revoked, and some industries confiscated, the former Emperor still had vast wealth, including several private planets.

After inheriting them, Gu Juntian instantly became the richest man in the Empire.

But soon after, he donated those planets.

The Human Empire seemed fair, but in reality, there were many dark corners.

The garbage planet the original owner was thrown to in his past life was one such ungoverned, lawless place.

Gu Juntian used his own wealth to relocate those people from the garbage planets.

The truly vile criminals were sent to the prison planet to work, while ordinary civilians were resettled on the royal family’s former resort planets.

Such habitable worlds, wasted as occasional vacation spots for the royals — outrageous!

After a period of busyness, Gu Juntian turned to scientific research.

If there was still one thing he was dissatisfied with in this world, it was the messy gender system and the influence of pheromones.

Omegas were born delicate and prone to heats, while Alphas could lose rationality under Omega heats.

This was the interstellar era — why were humans still acting like animals?!

Gu Juntian thought pheromone effects should be reduced.

So, he left the First Legion to do research.

Netizens were shocked. “General Gu, you just became a General and were certified as an SSS-level powerhouse — why are you doing research?!”

“Why throw away your future like this?”

“You’ve been wild for years, but isn’t this a bit too wild?”

…

Marshal Lei, who had planned to hand over the First Legion to Gu Juntian, was speechless.

What was this brat doing? He had graduated from the military academy and spent all his time on the battlefield — now he suddenly wanted to do research?

What could he possibly develop?

The Marshal was furious but couldn’t do anything. He just complained bitterly to Zhou Qinghao before handing the First Legion over to him instead.

Well, giving it to Zhou Qinghao was basically the same as giving it to Gu Juntian.

And so Zhou Qinghao became Marshal Zhou.

One day, Marshal Zhou came home and heard his partner say, “Qinghao, I want to smell your pheromones!”

Zhou Qinghao instinctively released them, only to see the battle fire ignite in Gu Juntian’s eyes.

Before, they would head to the training room for a fight — but now they were married.

Fighting all the time wasn’t exactly marital harmony!

If they were going to fight… they should do it in bed!

In the bedroom, the two pheromone scents mixed, and the two hot-blooded men had an intense battle.

Afterward, Gu Juntian couldn’t help saying, “These pheromones are way too intoxicating…”

Every time he smelled Zhou Qinghao’s pheromones, he wanted to fight all night without stopping — it was a bit too much.

So yes, weakening pheromones was necessary.

Zhou Qinghao: “…”

Alphas usually got intoxicated by Omega pheromones — Gu Juntian, an Alpha, getting addicted to another Alpha’s pheromones was unheard of.

Back in the day, some Omegas had tried to seduce Gu Juntian with their pheromones.

While their scents drove other Alphas crazy, Gu Juntian found them unpleasant and even told one to release more so he could “wash out his nose.”

Gu Juntian truly was unique.

And… he wasn’t the same Gu Juntian as before.

But that didn’t matter. All Zhou Qinghao cared about was that he loved the man in front of him.

His heart was full of affection for Gu Juntian, and his own pheromones were released without him realizing.

When Gu Juntian smelled the cool mint scent, his spirit surged, and he flipped Zhou Qinghao beneath him. “Qinghao, you still want more?”

Zhou Qinghao: “???” I don’t! Don’t talk nonsense!

But Gu Juntian ignored his protest and kept up the “battle.”

He had once worried that two Alphas together would make Zhou Qinghao uncomfortable.

But Zhou Qinghao wasn’t.

So in that case… as two SSS-level powerhouses with incredibly strong bodies, they could be together more often!

Zhou Qinghao: “…” Good thing he was strong enough, or he really couldn’t handle this…

Many, many years later…

In classrooms across the Empire, Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao’s names still came up from time to time.

They were both top warriors and generals, and held many other titles.

For example, Gu Juntian had developed medicines that freed humans from pheromone control, promoting gender equality.

And Zhou Qinghao was a famous mecha master who designed new models and, together with Gu Juntian, developed subspace technology to carry mechas anywhere.

Thanks to their efforts, the Empire’s technology soared.

And their old live broadcast footage — everyone had seen it.

Old Man Gu was really lively… and a complete goofball!
