Alien Paradise.

Chapter 427 Blueprint for a New Era
"They... imprisoned the goddess of abundance in the basement of the palace?" Zigwe was stunned. "Why?"

My father never mentioned this.

"Because they need weapons more than a bountiful wheat harvest... and the goddess of abundance is in charge of 'growth'. Growth here can affect both animals and plants, and can also affect second-class wonders with certain thinking abilities."

At this point, Qi Bo looked at his second brother and said, "Now you understand why father wanted to spare the lives of the Yuegui family."

He did not overthrow the Laurel monarchy and kill all of the Taser family, not because he couldn't bear it, but because he needed to ensure that the people would not immediately abandon the Goddess of Fertility who was closely tied to the Laurel family.

Zigwei is not a fool. He has already vaguely realized what Wilson Longjiu's real purpose is.

Whether it is the Goddess of Fertility or the core of the Myriad Machine, they are all components used by the God of All Machines to absorb.

Gao Fengguanjia is the product of Long Jiujun's takeover of Greg Academy.

This kind of anthropomorphic machine with a certain degree of intelligence is called God's servant. Although its effect is amazing, it is extremely complicated to manufacture. Not only does each product require a steam core, but it also has to undergo the baptism of the God of All Machines before its soul can be awakened.

Considering the extremely high cost and low practicality of the series, Zigwe was not interested in this kind of new product. In his opinion, the development of Gaofeng Butler to the extreme would eventually become a plaything for the nobles, which was far from the goal originally set by his father - to allow everyone to enjoy the convenience brought by the strange structure.

Now it seems that my father may have already prepared the last piece of the puzzle.

Zigwe looked at the groups of steam knights below with a somewhat wandering gaze, and suddenly understood many problems. These armors were not prepared for the gifted, and there was probably no one operating them at all. In a sense, they were equivalent to the armed version of Gaofeng Butler.

Even now family companies no longer have to go to the trouble of making them.

Because they will grow up by themselves like wheat.

"…Are these the last words your father left you?"

"No, my father didn't tell me anything." Qi Bo shook his head, "These are all things I saw with my own eyes. And it was not my father who allowed me to see these, but Lord Cosmos."

Not Duke Longjiu but a god?

Did my father even give the power to decide whether to disclose the inside story to the God of All Things?
Zigwe couldn't help but understand why his elder brother had been looking so lost these days. His father didn't hate his children, but compared to what he wanted to achieve, he, Zib and Zisser were no different from the vassals who followed the Longjiu family.

As expected... the awe-inspiring Duke Wilson Longjiu.

"That high-ranking butler named Weiden... is he a messenger from the gods?"

"You can understand it this way. It is also the last batch of high-level stewards to be baptized. In the future, the Shenji Sect will be disbanded, and the Lord God no longer needs secular people to perform his duties." "Wait, wait! This is totally wrong!" Zisser couldn't help yelling, "What crazy things are you talking about? The people of the Longjiu family should be the ones to rule the world! Shouldn't the gods be high above and not interfere in human affairs? Father is dead... The next one to succeed should be the eldest brother, and after the eldest brother dies, it will be the second brother's turn, and then it will be my turn! The one sitting on the throne is the king, not some elusive Cosmos!"

However, everyone looked at him with a strange look.

"Oh, you still don't understand, Third Brother." Zigwei sneered, "Father never intended to ascend the throne, and of course, he didn't intend for us to ascend the throne. Do you remember what father said when we first walked into the Golden Spike Palace stepping on the blood of our enemies?"

Qi Bo's memory also returned to that day: the children of the Laurel family were fighting each other beside the throne, but he asked his father why he didn't go up to the palace... Duke Longjiu's answer once again emerged in his ears, "Look forward."

"——Why did the Goddess of Fertility no longer choose members of the Laurel family to be heralds after they ascended the throne? Why did all the lords choose to remain silent when I led my army south? Perhaps the era of one king ruling the world is over. The new era belongs to us who are more efficient and can bring more benefits."

In fact, he did not fully understand what his father meant at the time. He thought that it was just that the Long Jiu family's foundation was still shallow and the time was not right. Now, looking back, every word of his father was meaningful.

Compared to fickle humans, eternal gods are indeed more suitable for creating a perfect country.

"That doesn't count at all!" Zisser looked at the two brothers in disbelief. "Regarding the succession to the throne, you actually used a sentence from half a year ago as evidence? My father died of an assassination by the enemy, not a natural death, and he didn't leave a will. According to common sense, a family member should succeed to the throne--"

"Idiot!" Zigwei interrupted impatiently, "If it's just talk, then it's nothing. There's an old saying in Gaofeng Mountain, one line is worth a thousand words. Instead of arguing with us, why don't you look at what my father did! If anyone wants to overturn the joint decision of the God of All Machines and my father, why don't they fight these Steam Knights? The one who can rule this continent must be the strongest on the continent, right? "

"I..." Zisser was speechless for a moment.

"I didn't expect you to accept it so quickly..." Qi Bo looked at his second brother with some emotion, "I have been thinking about how to tell you this news these days..."

"Ah? What's wrong with that? Do you think I'm a stray cat or dog that will feel abandoned after a little setback?" Zigwe sneered, "Please, I'm a warrior trained by Duke Longjiu. Now I can see that the Duke's wish is getting closer to being realized. I have nothing but admiration in my heart. Besides, managing a country is not my job, so there's nothing wrong in leaving it to God."

"But..." He changed the subject and glanced coldly at the stunned ministers around him, "Brother, you should have told me this confidential information alone. If I understand correctly, the secret room under the palace has now become the core center of Lord Cosmos."

"Don't worry, I believe they won't leak the secret." Qi Bo shook his head, "And even if the news leaks out, it doesn't matter, because the God of All Machines has recast the underground area of ​​the palace, reaching a depth that ordinary people can't reach, and the blue key is also a one-time use. Now even I can't get close to the Lord God anymore."

"Really? I feel relieved when you say that." Zigwe let out a long sigh, patted his brother's shoulder and grinned, "Let's see how the God of All Things will manage this kingdom by then."

Qi Bo nodded and said nothing more.

The second brother's frankness surprised him, and the third brother's opposition and resistance did not exceed his expectations. However, he still had one thing he didn't say - in the sinking secret room, he saw the God of All Machines after the fusion of the three, the main body like a steel pillar, and the bust of the goddess dissolved in it, the flesh and gears squeezed against each other, and blood trickled out of the metal shell. This disturbing picture became his lingering nightmare when he fell asleep these days.
