"After that, the ambitions of the capitalists continued to expand, and the temptation of eternal life was so great that they could use this to blackmail all officials and generals. In the end, an unprecedented civil war broke out. But this time, we failed, Many captains joined the capitalist and overthrew the empire in order to live forever, and I also ended my life in a basement with my good brothers."
Leng Xiyue probably understood that this was probably similar to Arasaka's technological route in cyberpunk, like Mikoshi, but that semi-finished technology has obviously become very complete in Swann's world.
After all... In a world with nuclear fusion, interstellar jump, and the ability to fly at the speed of light, researching such technology is probably only a matter of minutes. It can be seen that Swann's Tyran Empire is absolutely scientific to the point of being terrifying. Obviously The military level is so advanced, but the civilian aspect feels very poor.
In general, this is probably a "mechanical ascension" route, and it seems to be the most suitable route for humans. After all, the human body is too weak.
"Okay, I kind of get it, but we obviously don't have to worry about this happening to our empire."
"Of course I'm not worried, but I don't understand this technology, but since you have mentioned Tal'darin, it means... you want us to develop such a route, right?" Swann Said slightly expectantly.
"Yes, I am planning to build a soul forge in Tianxing City, and I will have to trouble you two to study it together."
After all, Swann is mainly an engineer in heavy industry, while Tianmeng can use his mental power to do many detailed things, such as carving a template.
"That's great. If you can make it fit the human soul, then these won't be a problem."
"That's good."
Leng Xiyue was very satisfied with this. Now that everything was arranged, she could continue to fish.
But even though they were here, Leng Xiyue was not ready to let them go back directly. Others happened to be in Jiuzhou City, so Leng Xiyue held a dinner party and invited all her good friends to come over.
For example, Ice Emperor Snow Emperor, Qin Menglan, Nishizumi Miho, Oscar, and Liu Qinghan all came to Kyushu City to live after the competition.
Including Tianmeng and Swann, there were less than ten people in total, which was a rare occasion when there were so few people.
This can be considered a real family dinner, and all the people in front of me are my best friends.
The two sisters, Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, just want to live a leisurely life. They have blended into the environment perfectly. They found a place to fish and stay together every day. They have no desire for strength, and they do not go back to the forest like others. Live a peaceful life like this.
Qin Menglan followed Miho Nishizumi. After all, soul guidance technology has become almost obsolete after the advent of nuclear energy. Now she is mainly responsible for the research and development of objects such as storage soul guidance devices. Unlike other scientific research projects, this work cannot be done together. , so she also stationed herself in Jiuzhou City and did not go to Tianxing City.
As a candidate for the consulship, Oscar is naturally learning various strategies for governing the country with Huang Yan. This is actually not too difficult. After all, technology is so advanced that many things no longer need to be done by oneself, so there is still a lot of time to practice. , hone yourself.
As for Liu Qinghan, he had nowhere to go after the competition and was afraid of being packed away by his family outside, so he came to the empire. At least within the empire, she didn't have to worry about her family coming to snatch her away. She was now living with Qin Menglan and Nishizumi Miho.
Seeing how the three of them are together wherever they go now, Leng Xiyue, who has been here before, feels that the situation is gradually stabilizing. Of course, this is undoubtedly what she is most happy to see.
Originally, Miho Nishizumi was a soul from another world who came to this world alone. The origins of Qin Menglan and Liu Qinghan were also laid out there. What a wonderful thing it was for them to come together.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
"Xiao Ao, how are you and Rongrong?" Leng Xiyue walked up to Oscar and asked with a smile.
"Fortunately, we have always been in contact and can talk at any time. When I reach adulthood, I should probably come to propose marriage." Oscar is obviously looking forward to this.
Girls like Ning Rongrong who are gentle, considerate, and strong and independent are obviously his favorite type. The two of them have been flirting with each other for so long. If he didn't even have this determination, he wouldn't be called Oscar.
Leng Xiyue still had that smile on her face and said indifferently: "But do you know what this means? This is why I didn't even take you to the Slaughter City, but stayed with Huang Yan all the time. I hope you can learn something more useful than your strength."
"I know that it is absolutely impossible for the Qibao Glazed Sect to marry off their only daughter, so for this plan, we probably have to completely annex them before we have a chance." Oscar obviously understood what Leng Xiyue was saying. What, he immediately expressed his attitude.
"Xiao Ao... I'm not trying to hit you. Maybe there's really no chance of this. Even if the Qibao Glazed Sect joins the empire, they won't be able to marry off their only daughter, because even the best solution will lead to generational annihilation. Risks." Leng Xiyue said earnestly: "Furthermore, do you think a force like the Qibao Glazed Sect would really be willing to become a submissive citizen under the empire's system?"
This can be said to be a question for the soul, what is the Qibao Glazed Sect? At best, he is a noble, at worst, he is a warlord. He is an uncrowned king who can own a completely autonomous land and is not restricted by the empire. For such a force, joining the empire means that they lose all their privileges and are completely at the mercy of others. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to agree to this.
Then, there is actually only one path that can really be taken.
Oscar smiled bitterly: "Does this mean, Sister Xiyue, you are going to take tough measures against the Qibao Glazed Sect?"
"This is not even a possibility, but something that will definitely happen. You have been here for such a long time, so you should know what kind of plan the General Staff has made."
Leng Xiyue stared at Oscar, but Oscar felt as if he had been completely seen through.
After not seeing each other for nearly two years, Leng Xiyue's cultivation has become more unfathomable, and her whole aura has also made a qualitative leap. It is difficult for Oscar to figure out what Leng Xiyue is thinking.
Perhaps she is considering whether she should continue in this position?
"I think you should adapt to this as soon as possible. Of course, if you are cruel, I don't mind letting you tie her back and slowly adapt to it."
Leng Xiyue didn't say much about Oscar. In fact, if there was really any trouble with Oscar, he would have known about it already.
This shows that Oscar's loyalty to the empire and her is much higher than so-called love. However, he is still an underage child after all, and it is obviously necessary to beat him up.
"Yes, Sister Xiyue, I understand."
Leng Xiyue smiled slightly: "Anyway, I think you should invite Rongrong here to see the attitude of the Qibao Glazed Sect. If they agree, then we have the possibility of peaceful evolution. .”
"...I mentioned this matter before, but Sect Leader Ning rejected it because Rongrong was too busy practicing and studying."
"That's it, that's easy to handle. I'll write a letter myself. It's time to see how the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect treats us."
In the past, Leng Xiyue was not in a hurry about these things, but now, it was almost time to put Tiandou's arrangements on the agenda.
His own puppet replaced Qian Renxue, but the mission did not change. It was almost time for the old emperor Xue Ye to abdicate.
Thinking of the promise she had made to Tang Yuehua and the fact that Xue Ye was indeed a good person, Leng Xiyue was not prepared to kill her directly. Her plan was to implant a genetic virus, which was completely different from traditional poisons and there was no way anyone could cure it. This disease.
...Except the Kyushu Empire.
In this case, as long as Leng Xiyue brings Xue Ye to the Jiuzhou Empire for recuperation, his false prince will soon be able to control the affairs of the Tiandou government. Of course, snow star
He and the fourth prince will definitely provoke civil strife, but at this time they are no longer loyal and loyal to the emperor, but outright rebels.
But he will eventually implement the policy of leaning towards the Kyushu Empire. Even a fool will understand what this will mean. After all, one day, those friends who once seemed very friendly will come to the opposite side.
After the heartfelt conversation ended, everyone continued to enjoy this rare banquet time.
After her girlfriends went back to their respective homes, Leng Xiyue returned to her dormitory accompanied by several maids.
Lying on the bed, Leng Xiyue's thoughts couldn't help but go far away. She was used to being accompanied by someone all the time, so living alone seemed so uncomfortable. I wonder what Xue'er is doing now?
"Miss your good friend Ji again?" Xiaobai's figure quietly appeared and lay beside her.
"How could you not want to? It's not like you don't know me." Leng Xiyue rolled her eyes at her.
"I feel that you are a little restless and depressed, so I'm here to help you solve it."
"Help me? How?" Leng Xiyue asked curiously.
"What else can it be? Of course it's a battle! Alarak has already led his troops to find a place to station themselves. You can go to him for a fight at any time. It's definitely exciting." Xiaobai said with a smile.
"So fast? It's been less than two days." Leng Xiyue was a little surprised. In two days, could he have just found a place to camp in the North?
Xiaobai showed a look of disdain: "Of course it will be soon. Do you think that Nebula-level strength is the same as ordinary people like you? It doesn't take an instant to go where you want to go."
"Okay, let's go take a look." Leng Xiyue felt that she couldn't sleep either, so she simply changed her clothes and prepared to go to Alarak's base.
Taking out the token, Leng Xiyue injected her own spiritual power, and the space in front of her began to change rapidly. Soon, a brand new world appeared in front of her.
This is a city. A huge and familiar star hub, all black and red, stands in the center of the city. Everything in the city from the buildings to the ground is made of metal. Many probes of the same color but with different colors are shuttled through the city. It seems that It's the final finishing touches.
A red protective cover enveloped the entire city, giving people a feeling of extreme safety.
Leng Xiyue unfolded her spiritual power and scanned the entire city, but was surprised to find that there were about 100,000 living beings living in the entire city.
These creatures range from humans to various spirit beasts, but the same thing is that each of them is like a devout believer.
"Oh, you're here so soon. It seems that you can't wait to fight me."
An ethereal voice appeared, and Alarak's figure instantly appeared beside her.
"Rather than fighting, I think I'm more curious about how you built such a city. Judging from the climate, this should be the Star Forest, right?"
Leng Xiyue looked up at the sky and quickly realized this. After all, she had just left the Star Forest and was relatively familiar with the environment here.
"Yes, after all, the open space here is too big and it is a certain distance from the core area. I don't think me being here will affect anything for you." Alarak said.
"Speaking of which, where did these residents come from?"
"These are all residual thoughts wandering in this world. I can't find any reliable souls, so I can only use these energies to actively create some, and then load them into the corresponding carriers, which are enough to become my subordinates. A cannon fodder."
As he spoke, Alarak pointed to a tower-shaped building around the Star Spirit Hub, where a red light shot into the sky, seeming to be absorbing something.
"With this method, my troops can easily achieve immortality and be loyal to me forever. All the cultivation skills they have accumulated in their physical bodies can be taken away at any time as long as I want, as an experience package to improve their strength. Then Reborn again, and die for me again, until the entire Tal'darin is destroyed."
When saying this, Alarak's face was calm.
, as if this is a matter of course.
"Of course, I will also create some higher-level souls and let them exist as real Tal'darin. If the Death Apostles and those creatures who can easily create a large number of creatures are slaves, then they can be called real citizens. , being able to participate in this chain of promotion and improve one’s status in this city.”
Only then did Leng Xiyue notice that the "street" under her feet was very neat, several kilometers long, with a huge pothole at both ends. She could no longer detect the depth here.
"Is this the chain of promotion?"
"Yes, the competition on the chain of promotion does not require fighting. The magnetic field here will automatically bind the two parties, and then quickly release all the abilities of both parties in an optimal state, so that the advantages and disadvantages of the two parties in the center can be quickly determined. Push forward until one side falls into the abyss."
