His heart was actually filled with excitement.
Especially at the moment Shen Hao made contact with him.
This was the Great Emperor!
Frankly speaking, Shen Hao in today's Human Civilization is like an Emperor without the title, possessing all the namesake and even similar authority.
The more recently born humans held an immense yearning for Shen Hao.
After all, Shen Hao's name and existence were already embedded in their history.
Having gone through the Trial Era for two hundred years, Shen Hao had long become a symbol, a foundation for Human Civilization stepping into a new era.
Even if Qiao Yu had enough ambition and confidence in his own future, his ultimate goal was merely to become the most trusted subordinate of His Majesty the Emperor.
As such, it's apparent how intensely excited he was when Shen Hao's voice appeared in his mind.
However, Qiao Yu was a man of firm will; he knew exactly what he needed to do now and quickly adjusted his emotions.
