Chapter 170 The preliminary idea of the Time Tribunal
Chapter 170 The preliminary idea of the Time Tribunal (please subscribe)
It is not a simple matter for a civilization that has been lost for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to rejoin the new family of the Galactic Empire.
The legal, political, military, and even economic exchanges and industrial standards of commercial trade on both sides need to be taken into consideration.
The Galactic Empire has its own standards, and Otanius has its own industries.
The two must be unified, otherwise it will cause trouble for future economic development and industrial expansion.
The accompanying imperial officials and the councilors of Otanius held discussions that lasted for several days.
Talk about the integration of business, economics, law and other fields.
The impact of imperial laws on the existing elite class is terrifying.
Once popularized, many families will decline.
Their wealth will flow out like water.
Losing the right to inherit family wealth is undoubtedly an act of digging up roots for many family children.
It's a pity that after resisting human tyranny and the Galactic Empire's strong victory over the Covenant, they gained a lot of support.
Civilians are also paying attention to the progress of this incident.
They are very interested in it.
Otanius still preserves a large number of historical records about the Human Alliance.
That once glorious golden age that ruled the galaxy was yearned for by countless people.
This is a huge plus.
Many families had to hold their noses and admit to the imperial law.
After all, if you admit it, you still have a chance to do something small.
If they are regarded as remnants of resistance to human tyranny, they will not even have a chance to resist, and they will be stoned to death by the people.
During this time, Zhang Han also actively participated in various affairs.
His main task was to mobilize the elites of the local army and integrate them into the ranks of the Third Expeditionary Force to expand the scale of the expedition.
As the supreme military commander, Keyes, as well as John and other senior military officials are assisting him.
To reflect that the Galactic Empire treats all sectors equally.
The selection of candidates for the Third Legion is also underway within the Otanius sector.
The first batch of candidates was selected to be Spartan warriors.
Spartans were physically strengthened and underwent rigorous professional training.
After shaping them into legionnaires, it doesn't take much effort and time to get them to fight on the battlefield.
Very cost-effective.
The Pride of the Empire's strategic meeting room.
Case, John and other Otanius representatives are participating in a meeting about the fate of their hometown here.
Zhang Han sat in the first place.
On his right is the representative of Otanius, and on his left are the senior officials of the expeditionary force.
Everyone looked at the projections and data windows in front of them.
Various proposals and suggestions are constantly flowing through the window.
The information window in front of Zhang Han was even more densely packed with information.
As the supreme commander of the Third Expeditionary Force.
The burden he shoulders is not just as simple as fighting.
Many things require him to handle and make decisions.
His personal database was flooded with paperwork and cases requiring adjudication.
"Does it take so much energy to lead an expeditionary force?!"
Zhang Han complained secretly.
Some lamented how much energy it took for the Holy Emperor to rule the entire empire.
Zhang Han focused on the latest information window that popped up.
[Regarding the proposal to adjust the designation and salary subsidy of the locally recruited troops. 】
The bill was proposed after research by officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Zhang Han looked at the contents of the proposal.
The content is mixed with a lot of data.
Seems obscure.
After training and training, Zhang Han still read it in more than ten seconds and extracted important information.
It mainly talks about salary subsidies between the local army and the imperial army, as well as welfare conditions.
The military's subsidy is currently divided into two parts.
One is a subsidy paid by the imperial treasury, and the other is a subsidy paid by the regional government.
Imperial financial subsidies are treated equally and are distributed according to military rank and level.
Fleets and armies directly under imperial administration were generally funded from the imperial treasury.
The local defense forces in the Otanius sector are first issued by the local government.
Both need to obey the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but the establishment is different.
The Ministry of Military Affairs can directly mobilize fleets and troops directly under the empire.
But if you want to mobilize the local defense force, you need to notify the local government in advance.
Whoever gives money has more power.
This is a temporary plan.
Nowadays, communication in various regions is inconvenient and unified management cannot be achieved.
After the superstring communication station is built, the Imperial Council will be able to communicate with various star regions in real time.
This situation may be improved to some extent.
Centralization of power will be further achieved.
There is no fault in this proposal. It is completely made in accordance with the current system of the empire.
According to the usual practice, the military and economic powers of each star region will be transferred to the local area. "
Zhang Han must decide which troops will be incorporated into the expeditionary force and then report it to the Imperial Parliament.
At that time, the imperial treasury will allocate funds according to needs.
"There is nothing wrong with this proposal." Zhang Han looked at Case and others, "The troops that have been merged into the expeditionary force will be paid uniformly in accordance with imperial standards and provided with corresponding welfare policies."
Keith looked at John and the others, and when he saw them all nodding slightly, he turned to look at Zhang Han.
"We have no problem with this proposal. We will notify them after the dissolution."
"Very well, let's move on to the next agenda."
Zhang Han reached out and crossed out the passed proposal.
The next window appears.
[About the Otanius system taxation plan schedule]
Seeing this, Zhang Han suddenly felt a little big-headed.
He looked at Ainion, who was sitting on the tax collector's delegation to his left.
This proposal was obviously proposed by the other party.
In order to support the galactic expedition and speed up the liberation of human colonies.
Every planet and colony that joins the Empire has to pay tithes.
The tax department will judge the economic status of each star region and the trade situation of enterprises to formulate reasonable taxes.
Every planet needs to pay tithes.
If you don’t have money, you have to use people to supplement it.
Among the many ships of the Third Expeditionary Force, there is even one belonging to the Imperial Tax Collector.
Following the orders of the Imperial Council, they traveled through the dangerous warp in order to tax the Galactic Empire.
Case also saw the proposal.
His eyes were slightly serious.
Even though he is not very involved in the field of civil affairs, he knows that this area is very sensitive.
The common people would not mind if they had an extra emperor.
But I don't mind if the other party takes money from his pocket.
"This matter should be brought up when the time is more mature. The Empire's transformation of the Otanius Galaxy has just begun, and it is not suitable to promote this." Zhang Han said.
Ainion did not intend to let it go. She said in a firm tone, "Paying taxes is the obligation of every human being. She also asked the legion commander to assist the tax department in comparing the accounts in order to determine whether Otanius Planet District tax amount.”
Case frowned and said solemnly, "This matter should indeed be postponed. Otanius has just experienced a war, and many industries and trades have been destroyed. It is too early to tax it now." , many people will resist. Many people are not opposed to the merger with the Galactic Empire, but if they hear that they have to pay another tenth of the tax, they will definitely be dissatisfied and even take up arms to resist. "
"The expedition costs a lot of money and cannot be supported by one world or one sector. The Fourth Expeditionary Force and the Fifth Expeditionary Force are being prepared at the same time. Under such circumstances, the Empire needs the resources and taxes of each world to ensure the Galactic Expedition. .”
"Appropriate leniency will help the empire win over people's hearts." William, the top leader of the fleet, said in a low voice, "Many areas have not yet completed transformation, and capital and powerful people are still the biggest obstacles between the empire and the common people. Raising taxes rashly is very likely to Causing those guys to shift the pressure onto ordinary people to protect their own private property."
"Temporary pain is inevitable. The importance of taxation to the new empire is self-evident. Financial officials cannot come up with money out of thin air to support expeditions and empire construction. The primary purpose of tax collectors is to establish a complete tax collection mechanism. Ensure that appropriate taxes are collected regularly and automatically.”
"Let's put it on hold for now, at least until the Covenant invaders are expelled from the Otanius sector. At the same time, local officials must be urged to intervene in the development of each planet and release the wealth accumulated among the powerful and capital giants. Go to the people." Zhang Han said firmly, "We can't do nothing and just ask them to pay money, no one will be willing to do that."
Ainion showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
But due to the other party's status, she had to bend down to show that she was obeying his orders.
The message window was marked as rejected and closed.
Next, they discussed several proposals.
Some were passed and some were abandoned.
Finally, there is a heavyweight proposal.
[Total war plan with the Star Alliance]
"We wasted a lot of precious time on other matters, now let us return to what we do best. Study how to win this war, destroy the Covenant and avenge the sacrifice of humanity."
Zhang Han glanced at everyone.
Government affairs are undoubtedly a torture for everyone here.
Talking about the war is what they should do most.
Master Chief John stood up first.
The projection in front of him also changed.
A mushroom-shaped giant building appeared on the projection table.
Slowly rotate, allowing everyone to see its full picture.
"The Covenant suffered a disastrous defeat. They will definitely withdraw to the City of High Charity, seek to reorganize the army, and choose an opportunity to launch another attack."
"City of Charity?" Julius, the first company commander of the Third Legion asked.
John paused before introducing information about High Charity.
"The City of High Charity is the headquarters of the Covenant and their religious sanctuary. It is a huge celestial-class battleship. In the previous wars, I lurked inside once. The technology inside was very advanced, far beyond what was available at the time. The Star Alliance. I have every reason to suspect that this City of Charity does not actually belong to the Star Alliance, but to the supporters behind them."
"Forerunner?" Zhang Han looked thoughtful and named the Forerunner who had been suspected to be the supporter behind the Star Alliance.
"Yes, Forerunner." John nodded.
"Forerunners? What kind of race are they?" Julius asked.
The fleet's senior intelligence chief, Madwa, stood up.
"I have searched the intelligence database left by the Human Alliance, which contains archives about the Forerunners, but I am not sure whether the two are the same race."
Projections of geometric symbols, buildings, and life forms appeared on the council table, slowly rotating and emitting a shimmering light.
John saw the geometry of one of the projections.
"It's this, I saw this in High Charity."
"In that case, the forerunners recorded by the Human Alliance are most likely the supporters behind the Star Alliance." Zhang Han looked at Madwa, "Let me introduce the forerunners in the Human Alliance database in detail."
Madhwa nodded.
"When humans entered the stars and began large-scale colonization, the Forerunner race had begun to decline from its glorious period. Their territory had shrunk, occupying an edge of the galaxy and becoming a lost race."
The lost race is also called the fallen race.
It is used to describe those races that have powerful technology and psychic systems, but for unknown reasons give up the struggle for hegemony in the star sea and choose to hide in a corner to survive.
There are multiple fallen races recorded in the database of the Human Alliance.
Forerunner is just one of them.
"The first clear record of contact between the Forerunners and humans was 4 years ago. At that time, a starship accidentally entered the star field where the Forerunners were located, which opened up the exchange between humans and the Forerunners. This race possesses very advanced psychic powers. and technology, but the entire race was slowly dying. Humans at that time hoped to coexist harmoniously with this ancient race. After all, a race that continues to decline does not pose much of a threat to a newly rising race, and it can still Learned some ancient knowledge and technological concepts from each other’s hands.”
"At the beginning, the Forerunners were willing to maintain peace with humans, but soon they tore up the peace agreement and launched an attack on humans. The reason for launching the war was that humans had the potential for ascension that they did not have. During the long period of racial war, Here, the real reason for the decline of the Forerunner race has also been learned by humans. The Forerunners tried psychic ascension and wanted to evolve to a higher level through the subspace, but they failed, suffered backlash, and were cursed by the subspace."
"This curse is very powerful, making the descendants of the Forerunners extremely easy to mutate and become twisted chaos eggs. The Forerunners spent a lot of time and resources, but were unable to solve this curse. Under the influence of this curse, whether artificially cultivated or naturally The probability of giving birth, the larvae being twisted, and the emergence of Chaos Eggs is very high. What’s even more terrible is that after the Forerunner dies, the soul will fall into a dark abyss and be torn into pieces by the monsters lurking there.”
"In this way, as time goes by, the number of Forerunner races decreases, a large number of areas are abandoned, and civilization slowly declines. The original plan was to hide in a remote corner of the universe and disappear quietly like many races in the history of the universe. In the course of time, until the arrival of humans broke their original tranquility."
"Humanity is a vigorous race of the rising sun. Their souls are pure and flawless. They have a certain understanding of subspace, but not much. They are still at the stage where they believe that science and truth can answer all the questions in this world. Facing the challenges of the universe Unknown mysteries, such as those sleeping past and ancient whispers, they firmly believe that technology is not developed enough, so they cannot be explained."
"The initial contact between the two races was relatively smooth. The Forerunners were not hostile to humans and were even happy to see expansion. They wanted to see the other race follow its own path and become the main target of subspace creatures. But humans soon showed their With their talents, they quickly adapted to the subspace and actively changed. The forerunners realized that this race was not that simple. Humans have amazing adaptability to any environment and learned how to survive in it."
“After realizing the potential of humans, the Forerunners launched a war out of jealousy. During the war, they discovered another use of humans. The souls of human dead can save them from falling into the dark abyss after death. Humans will be replaced by them. Those weird creatures tore it apart.”
"The Forerunners had many powerful technological creations, the most outstanding of which was the giant construct-the Halo, an infinitely powerful biological pulse weapon that could destroy all life in the entire galaxy by emitting a cross-phase neutrino wave. After accurate charging and debugging, this giant device can also selectively kill higher-order life species with specific neural structures."
"At the beginning of the war, human technology was backward and primitive compared to the Forerunners. The human army was repeatedly defeated by the Forerunner legions and retreated steadily. However, the number of Forerunners was too small, and the radiation waves released by the halo array could only Traveling in reality cannot exceed the speed of light. Although these defeats caused heavy casualties to humans, they did not threaten the survival of the race. This situation lasted until the emergence of the Human Alliance, and the war situation reversed. Humans created their own giant structure - Burning The Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Rays, the Forerunners began to fail. Their numbers were too small to make perfect use of their technology."
"The Forerunners ultimately failed because of population. Humanity was not cursed. There were many more babies born in a day than the dead. The original number of people already made them passive. With the unity of humanity, their defeat was certain."
"In the final battle, they activated all the haloes, severely damaged the human army, and then left the galaxy and fled into the boundless dark void."
Senior Intelligence Director Madhva detailed the data on the Forerunners.
Even Otanius doesn't have these data links.
It's all the secret knowledge of the Human Alliance.
With the opening of the underground palace, the Galactic Empire inherited everything from the Human Alliance.
This is unmatched by other human civilizations in the galaxy.
What they got were just fragments, while what the Galactic Empire got was a complete technology tree.
John and Keith were both shocked when they heard this.
He had been fighting with the Star Alliance for so long, but he didn't even know this! !
The Galactic Empire actually knew all about this.
"Sounds like a difficult opponent." Zhang Han said, "It has technology no less than that of the Human Alliance. It was only because the number of races was too small that it was defeated by humans. Before leaving, it also severely damaged humans. Its strength Really strong.”
The glory of the Human Alliance is beyond the reach of the current Galactic Empire.
Even in its early stages, its strength far exceeded that of the Galactic Empire.
The Forerunners were able to severely damage the human army at that time, and they certainly had enough strength to fight against or even crush the Third Legion.
This war must be done cautiously and cautiously.
The Forerunner race was small in number and had low fecundity, which was their drawback.
As long as they drag the opponent into a war of attrition, they have a chance of winning.
"Now that they control the Star Alliance, they have made up for the shortcomings of insufficient population. Presumably those cutting-edge technologies can be used to their fullest, and this battle will be very brutal." Madeva lowered his voice and said, "To deal with the Star Alliance, There must be no way around the forerunners.”
"Forerunner, Star Alliance." Zhang Han murmured to himself.
This is a challenge, but also an opportunity.
If he can eliminate the threats from the Covenant and the Forerunners, his reputation will skyrocket.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Han said, "First collect information about the City of Charity, determine the opponent's coordinates and troop deployment, and then launch a full-scale offensive after determining the basic situation, striving to completely wipe out the Star Alliance and force out the Forerunners. "
They talked for a while about some countermeasures after the Forerunners intervened in this war.
For example, the biological pulse to deal with the halo, as well as the various attack methods that appear in the Human Alliance database.
After the meeting, everyone went to prepare.
John went to gather the Spartans for screening and strengthening.
Keyes worked with Imperial officials to push for resolutions.
Zhang Han and several company commanders began to practice how to destroy the City of Charity in one fell swoop, kill the Star Alliance, and draw out the Forerunners.
The warp storm subsided with the arrival of the expeditionary force.
The will of the Holy Emperor is constantly expanding.
Some galaxies within the empire's territory can already see shining stars reappearing in the dark night sky.
This represents the initial restoration of space-time continuity.
The Empire's extermination of the Ironbloods is still in progress.
The Iron-Blooded main star has been destroyed, but there are still many colonies.
What the First Expeditionary Force is doing now is to sweep away the Iron Bloods and the gods they believe in, completely sweeping them into the trash.
Since the Iron Bloods could no longer form a large-scale counterattack fleet, the First Expeditionary Force was divided into several groups, striving to sweep away the Iron Bloods as quickly as possible, forcing them to flee their homes again and flee into the endless void.
The strategic meeting room of the Holy Tribulation.
The hum of machinery resounded throughout the vast space.
"The Second Squadron and the Third Squadron have swept away the iron-blooded colonies in the eastern region." Fenniu, who is responsible for intelligence management, is reporting the information obtained from the spiritual messengers to several high-level officials in the empire.The Spirit Messenger is currently the main means of communication between the different fleets of the Galactic Empire.
They are bound to the Holy Emperor.
The information sent is absolutely reliable.
Wang Ben, Elsa, Casar and others listened silently to Fenyu's report.
Tactical projections and information windows floated above the conference table, illuminating their faces with a faint glow.
When the data flow follows Fenyu's report, the faint light will be strengthened.
Fifteen minutes later, after finishing speaking, Fenyu closed the data pad in his hand and sat back in his seat.
"So far, the divided areas have basically been swept away." Elsa glanced at the green area on the projection.
First Company Commander Yakos also nodded and agreed with Elsa's words, "More than 100 galaxies colonized by Iron Blood have been turned into ruins or killing fields by us. The organic Iron Blood army has completely disappeared, and the remaining There are only stragglers who resist.”
"We have won the victory." Kasar, who was in charge of the army command, said, "The Iron Bloods have lost all the courage to resist. We are meaningless here and there is no need for such a huge military force."
"Then where should we go?" Elsa asked, "The last order the Holy Emperor gave us was to sweep away the Iron Bloods. Until now, He is unwilling to receive us. Without new orders, we can't go anywhere. "
"Then go ask for a new order, or ask for the reason for us to stay here." Stia, the meeting representative of the Mecha Corps, said.
"Are you going?" Elsa asked.
"I'm not suitable."
"Then who is suitable?"
Stia fell into silence, and then looked at Wang Ben who was in charge.
Others also looked at Wang Ben.
The leader of the first legion, Wang Ben is the person with the highest status in the expeditionary army besides the Holy Emperor.
Wang Ben felt something in his heart. He raised his head and found that everyone was looking at him.
"Legion Commander, you must do something!!" Yakos said, "Our mission here is over."
"Yes, legion commander."
After hearing everyone's words, Wang Ben fell into deep thought for a moment.
The Holy Emperor has not shown his face since the Iron-Blooded Mother Planet was destroyed.
If you don't believe in the absolute loyalty of the guards.
Wang Ben even doubted whether the Holy Emperor had been killed.
Maybe it's time for you to go see what's going on.
"Then let me go and ask for instructions."
Wang Ben stood up directly, turned around and walked out of the door.
His bodyguards followed and left with him.
Others sit in their seats.
They had no intention of leaving, but planned to wait for Wang Ben to return new instructions from the Holy Emperor.
The long-term campaign against the Iron-Blooded Clan made them feel bored.
A group of warriors who have lost their courage and have no challenge.
It's just one boring massacre and destruction after another.
In the darkness, Qin Zheng opened his eyes.
The fire burned in his eyes and quickly disappeared.
The pale complexion turned rosy again as time passed.
My energy level also looks much better.
Although he defeated Abeloth in the decisive battle and won the victory.
But he was still injured trying to lure Abeloth into revealing his flaws.
This battle was the first battle that Qin Zheng encountered that could threaten him after he mastered the power of the fire.
From the rise of Xuanyuan Star to the expansion of the Galactic Empire, the enemies Qin Zheng encountered were not actually enemies.
They are just mortal beings.
Even those psychics who have crossed the threshold of divinity are nothing more than weak ants to Qin Zheng.
To a certain extent, Qin Zheng, who controls the fire, is a real being who can stand alongside many evil gods, or even surpass them.
After all, those evil gods cannot operate in real space like him.
Abeloth is an Old One, an eternal being.
Born before time began.
With such an opponent, Qin Zheng could not crush him like he had done with mortals before.
He spent a lot of effort to disguise his failure, and then killed it with one blow, driving it back to the depths of the subspace.
Abeloth was expelled, and Bai Qi was able to defeat the first-generation Sith warriors in the real universe and win the war.
But this incident also gave Qin Zheng some warning.
Those evil gods in subspace should not be underestimated.
They possess the ability to obscure the future and travel to the past.
Even if Qin Zheng could foresee the future, it would be meaningless. The other party could distort or even change the future he saw.
He must be prepared to go to war with the gods.
"Perhaps some necessary measures should be taken."
Qin Zheng pressed the call button on his desk.
Leonidas, wearing golden armor, walked in from the door.
He knelt down on one knee towards Qin Zheng and saluted respectfully.
"His Majesty."
"Get up, Leonidas. Where is Xu Fu now?" Qin Zheng asked.
"Probably he was gambling and drinking in a makeshift bar with the narrator and the bards."
The Holy Inquisition is huge.
There were not only soldiers, but also a large number of workers and technical engineers, as well as chroniclers, bards, artists, etc. who accompanied the army.
An independent society has formed.
There are various entertainment venues.
Human beings cannot stay sane and functioning for long periods of time.
That would be too painful.
People need alcohol and entertainment to relax.
"His interests and hobbies are quite broad. Find him and let him come to see me." Qin Zheng said.
"Understood." Leonidas nodded and walked out.
Qin Zheng stayed alone in his study.
Thinking about the battle with Abeloth and his next plan.
The iron-blooded clan has been destroyed.
The initial rise of the Galactic Empire.
It's time to expand the scope of the war and pile the skulls under the throne higher.
"Kara parasite." Qin Zheng thought of the target that needed to be solved first.
This race took advantage of the Evernight Crisis to return to the Milky Way and took control of the human colonies in that area of the Beidou Star Territory.
The names of colonial planets during the interstellar expansion period of mankind all have certain cultural attributes.
The biggest key to the establishment of the Human Alliance and its formal unification is the strength of Eastern culture in the interstellar era, forcing other human cultures to accept the form of unification in the form of the Alliance.
Otherwise, according to the nature of Western culture, everyone works piecemeal, which is quite good.
Various names with a strong oriental flavor also appeared in the alliance's star map.
For example, Regulus, Spica, Beidou, Ziwei and so on.
These are all very typical examples.
The Beidou Starfield is not a galaxy, but a collective name for many star systems in a large area.
Covers all star systems within 85 light years.
The Kara parasite is active within this star field.
The number of colonial worlds controlled is estimated to be [-].
There are probably countless humans who have been fooled.
This is an alien force far more powerful than iron blood.
What awaits the First Expeditionary Force will be a long and brutal war.
After decades of fighting, Qin Zheng would not be surprised at all.
Qin Zheng planned to help Wang Ben and others gain a foothold, stabilize the battlefield, and then return to the Xuanyuan Galaxy.
Prepare the next stage of the plan and be prepared to fight against the gods.
Plus he hasn't shown up for too long.
You have to show your face and appease the civilians.
Also give a shout out to those guys who had other ideas.
The door to the study room slowly opened due to the push of a mechanical device.
Xu Fu walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty." He bowed and saluted.
"It looks like you're doing well."
Qin Zheng glanced at Xu Fu.
The clothes on the other party's body were very sloppy and smelled of alcohol.
"It's quite moisturizing." Xu Fu grinned.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things. I have called you here this time because I have something to tell you." Qin Zheng looked at Xu Fu, "What do you think of those gods?"
Xu Fu was a little stunned when he heard Qin Zheng's question.
He thought Qin Zheng would not discuss these issues.
"Have you finally realized that you are a god?"
Seeing the boomerang hit Qin Zheng's face, Xu Fu felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
"Human beings do not need gods, and I am not a god." Qin Zheng denied, "I maintain my original point of view. Eternity is meaningless, and gods are meaningless. I just want to hear your opinion, and then entrust you to do it. Issues."
Xu Fu found a chair from one side of the study and sat on it with his legs crossed. "Denying it can't change the truth of the matter."
Nothing Xu Fu did showed any respect for Qin Zheng.
If the door hadn't been closed, the guards' gaze could have killed someone.
Xu Fu didn't care much about this.
Even though he has lost his immortal essence, he is still a powerful psyker with tens of thousands of years of knowledge.
It can be said that he is the most knowledgeable person under Qin Zheng.
He knew that in Qin Zheng's heart, he was very valuable.
I won't kill him, let alone expel him.
"The gods are all hypocrites, and lies are everything to them." Qin Zheng said coldly, "I have no idea about becoming them. Ignorant people will pray to become gods, but smart people will only pray for them to become gods." Reject them. I don’t want to become a god, and humans don’t need a god. In contrast, I prefer to destroy them. To destroy something that is said to be eternal, the scene must be full of irony.”
Xu Fu looked into Qin Zheng's eyes.
The desire for destruction showed in the young emperor's eyes.
It was obvious that he really wanted to do what he said.
Pull the so-called gods into the world and smash everything that claims to be eternal.
Xu Fu averted his eyes and did not look at Qin Zheng for a long time to prevent the other party's authority from affecting his spirit.
"Qin Zheng, you are a madman."
"I think I am a normal person, and our topic should not be about becoming a god. I came to you to discuss something."
Qin Zheng stood on the side of the ship and looked through the observation window at the vast void outside.
"What's going on?" Xu Fu asked.
"When I fought with an old man, the other party traced my past and tried to turn the memories and choices of the past into weapons to kill me. Of course, in the end, that guy failed and was expelled by me and thrown back. The place where he climbed out. But I also realized the crisis. It is not difficult for those powerful subspace life forms to travel to the past."
"I can fight against those terrible creatures, but ordinary humans can't. So I need to establish a comprehensive system to fight against evil gods and the old days."
Xu Fu showed an interested expression.
"Then what are you going to do!! Those gods and the Old Ones are eternal existences, and some are even so old that they can't even compare to the universe. How do you fight against them?"
"They are very strong, but their impact on reality is limited, especially when the curtain between reality and subspace is stable, their extraordinary power is meaningless to reality." Qin Zheng paced back and forth, "Reality, Reason, technology, and our spirit are mankind's best weapons against them. The Old Ones and evil gods may not be killed, but they can be expelled and blocked from human society. I need to establish a series of institutions. Train and develop enough professionals to get them going against those guys.”
"Be specific." Xu Fu said, "You are talking too broadly."
"The future of a race is rooted in the past, especially in the special dimension of time. If the past is destroyed, the future may disappear, and a race will be cursed and headed for death and destruction. So if you want to protect human beings , we must protect the past of mankind.”
"How to protect?"
"My plan is to first establish a time court and train a group of time guardians to maintain the continuity of human history and prevent the destruction of time races or mysterious beings. This is a real war, and I must consider Every node that may fail was the most vulnerable node of human civilization today. The sooner it is protected, the better. The Time Tribunal is just the beginning. I will reorganize the Imperial Security Bureau later to give it all-round capabilities. , the means and abilities to form a system to fight against evil gods and the old days."
"Okay, you are looking more and more like a madman." Xu Fu said with a smile, "Are you crazy enough to start a war with the gods?"
"They are too threatening." Qin Zheng nodded, "We must prepare in advance."
"A big threat? You want to kill them??"
"Do you need any other reason?"
Qin Zheng looked at Xu Fu with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"When going to war in the past, the consequences were unpredictable." Xu Fu said, "This is no joke, you are crossing the red line. It is very likely that the gods will join forces to deal with you."
"Those guys crossed over first. They played with time and claimed to be omniscient and omnipotent. Can they cross the timeline? Can't I?"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. What do you want me to do for you?"
"As the first person in charge of the Time Tribunal, help me deal with those enemies who try to use human history to subvert mankind." Qin Zheng said.
"I'm not crazy." Xu Fu said, "Spanning time is an act that the gods cannot tolerate. This will break some of their rules, and humans will be retaliated against."
There was a cunning light in Qin Zheng's eyes.
"But it's also possible for humans to achieve true transcendence, and those guys have unlimited means and humans have to try to match that."
Qin Zheng stood up and walked to Xu Fu.
His voice was full of bewitchment.
"You have lost your immortality, and your life will slowly burn away. Don't you want those guys to taste the shortness of life like you? Imagine what the gods and the old days will be when they lose their eternity. Their faces!! This universe will be out of their control, what will this universe look like?"
"You are a real destroyer." Xu Fu felt a little excited in his heart.
Well, he admits.
To destroy those eternal things really gives people a sense of anticipation.
"I can promise you, but let me explain first that once the situation goes wrong, I will leave and any consequences will have nothing to do with me."
"Of course, this is your freedom." Qin Zheng said, "No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them."
"It makes me a little uneasy that you agreed so quickly."
Xu Fu looked suspicious.
He has a problem.
"This is sincerity, so we can be candid. Okay, let's settle this matter like this. Choose the subordinates you think are suitable. They must be tough enough to endure the pain caused by time distortion. Of course, loyalty and fighting Ability also needs to be taken into consideration.”
After talking about this matter, Xu Fu got up and left.
When he just walked out of the study, Wang Ben arrived just in time.
Qin Zheng, who knew the purpose of Wang Ben's trip, asked Leonidas to let him in directly.
"Your Majesty, the battle here is over. Do we still need to continue to garrison?" Wang Ben asked as soon as he came in and saluted.
The future is uncertain.
The past has been made constant.
Traveling to the past is also part of the future.
Changing the past is like cutting the trunk of an old tree with a knife. It will not change the appearance of the tree, it will only cause the tree to die.
The grandfather paradox does not exist in this setting because time travelers have been born in the past.
The time traveler goes back in time and kills his grandfather in the future.
Time travel will pass, and all consequences caused by it are things that will happen in the future, not things that happened in the past, because the past has already happened.
The past has happened, just like the trees have grown.
The function of the Time Chamber is to prevent the evil god of subspace from cutting down the roots of the human tree.
The time race will be introduced later, and this matter will be discussed in detail.
If you have better ideas, you can put them forward in the book club.
(End of this chapter)
It is not a simple matter for a civilization that has been lost for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to rejoin the new family of the Galactic Empire.
The legal, political, military, and even economic exchanges and industrial standards of commercial trade on both sides need to be taken into consideration.
The Galactic Empire has its own standards, and Otanius has its own industries.
The two must be unified, otherwise it will cause trouble for future economic development and industrial expansion.
The accompanying imperial officials and the councilors of Otanius held discussions that lasted for several days.
Talk about the integration of business, economics, law and other fields.
The impact of imperial laws on the existing elite class is terrifying.
Once popularized, many families will decline.
Their wealth will flow out like water.
Losing the right to inherit family wealth is undoubtedly an act of digging up roots for many family children.
It's a pity that after resisting human tyranny and the Galactic Empire's strong victory over the Covenant, they gained a lot of support.
Civilians are also paying attention to the progress of this incident.
They are very interested in it.
Otanius still preserves a large number of historical records about the Human Alliance.
That once glorious golden age that ruled the galaxy was yearned for by countless people.
This is a huge plus.
Many families had to hold their noses and admit to the imperial law.
After all, if you admit it, you still have a chance to do something small.
If they are regarded as remnants of resistance to human tyranny, they will not even have a chance to resist, and they will be stoned to death by the people.
During this time, Zhang Han also actively participated in various affairs.
His main task was to mobilize the elites of the local army and integrate them into the ranks of the Third Expeditionary Force to expand the scale of the expedition.
As the supreme military commander, Keyes, as well as John and other senior military officials are assisting him.
To reflect that the Galactic Empire treats all sectors equally.
The selection of candidates for the Third Legion is also underway within the Otanius sector.
The first batch of candidates was selected to be Spartan warriors.
Spartans were physically strengthened and underwent rigorous professional training.
After shaping them into legionnaires, it doesn't take much effort and time to get them to fight on the battlefield.
Very cost-effective.
The Pride of the Empire's strategic meeting room.
Case, John and other Otanius representatives are participating in a meeting about the fate of their hometown here.
Zhang Han sat in the first place.
On his right is the representative of Otanius, and on his left are the senior officials of the expeditionary force.
Everyone looked at the projections and data windows in front of them.
Various proposals and suggestions are constantly flowing through the window.
The information window in front of Zhang Han was even more densely packed with information.
As the supreme commander of the Third Expeditionary Force.
The burden he shoulders is not just as simple as fighting.
Many things require him to handle and make decisions.
His personal database was flooded with paperwork and cases requiring adjudication.
"Does it take so much energy to lead an expeditionary force?!"
Zhang Han complained secretly.
Some lamented how much energy it took for the Holy Emperor to rule the entire empire.
Zhang Han focused on the latest information window that popped up.
[Regarding the proposal to adjust the designation and salary subsidy of the locally recruited troops. 】
The bill was proposed after research by officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Zhang Han looked at the contents of the proposal.
The content is mixed with a lot of data.
Seems obscure.
After training and training, Zhang Han still read it in more than ten seconds and extracted important information.
It mainly talks about salary subsidies between the local army and the imperial army, as well as welfare conditions.
The military's subsidy is currently divided into two parts.
One is a subsidy paid by the imperial treasury, and the other is a subsidy paid by the regional government.
Imperial financial subsidies are treated equally and are distributed according to military rank and level.
Fleets and armies directly under imperial administration were generally funded from the imperial treasury.
The local defense forces in the Otanius sector are first issued by the local government.
Both need to obey the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but the establishment is different.
The Ministry of Military Affairs can directly mobilize fleets and troops directly under the empire.
But if you want to mobilize the local defense force, you need to notify the local government in advance.
Whoever gives money has more power.
This is a temporary plan.
Nowadays, communication in various regions is inconvenient and unified management cannot be achieved.
After the superstring communication station is built, the Imperial Council will be able to communicate with various star regions in real time.
This situation may be improved to some extent.
Centralization of power will be further achieved.
There is no fault in this proposal. It is completely made in accordance with the current system of the empire.
According to the usual practice, the military and economic powers of each star region will be transferred to the local area. "
Zhang Han must decide which troops will be incorporated into the expeditionary force and then report it to the Imperial Parliament.
At that time, the imperial treasury will allocate funds according to needs.
"There is nothing wrong with this proposal." Zhang Han looked at Case and others, "The troops that have been merged into the expeditionary force will be paid uniformly in accordance with imperial standards and provided with corresponding welfare policies."
Keith looked at John and the others, and when he saw them all nodding slightly, he turned to look at Zhang Han.
"We have no problem with this proposal. We will notify them after the dissolution."
"Very well, let's move on to the next agenda."
Zhang Han reached out and crossed out the passed proposal.
The next window appears.
[About the Otanius system taxation plan schedule]
Seeing this, Zhang Han suddenly felt a little big-headed.
He looked at Ainion, who was sitting on the tax collector's delegation to his left.
This proposal was obviously proposed by the other party.
In order to support the galactic expedition and speed up the liberation of human colonies.
Every planet and colony that joins the Empire has to pay tithes.
The tax department will judge the economic status of each star region and the trade situation of enterprises to formulate reasonable taxes.
Every planet needs to pay tithes.
If you don’t have money, you have to use people to supplement it.
Among the many ships of the Third Expeditionary Force, there is even one belonging to the Imperial Tax Collector.
Following the orders of the Imperial Council, they traveled through the dangerous warp in order to tax the Galactic Empire.
Case also saw the proposal.
His eyes were slightly serious.
Even though he is not very involved in the field of civil affairs, he knows that this area is very sensitive.
The common people would not mind if they had an extra emperor.
But I don't mind if the other party takes money from his pocket.
"This matter should be brought up when the time is more mature. The Empire's transformation of the Otanius Galaxy has just begun, and it is not suitable to promote this." Zhang Han said.
Ainion did not intend to let it go. She said in a firm tone, "Paying taxes is the obligation of every human being. She also asked the legion commander to assist the tax department in comparing the accounts in order to determine whether Otanius Planet District tax amount.”
Case frowned and said solemnly, "This matter should indeed be postponed. Otanius has just experienced a war, and many industries and trades have been destroyed. It is too early to tax it now." , many people will resist. Many people are not opposed to the merger with the Galactic Empire, but if they hear that they have to pay another tenth of the tax, they will definitely be dissatisfied and even take up arms to resist. "
"The expedition costs a lot of money and cannot be supported by one world or one sector. The Fourth Expeditionary Force and the Fifth Expeditionary Force are being prepared at the same time. Under such circumstances, the Empire needs the resources and taxes of each world to ensure the Galactic Expedition. .”
"Appropriate leniency will help the empire win over people's hearts." William, the top leader of the fleet, said in a low voice, "Many areas have not yet completed transformation, and capital and powerful people are still the biggest obstacles between the empire and the common people. Raising taxes rashly is very likely to Causing those guys to shift the pressure onto ordinary people to protect their own private property."
"Temporary pain is inevitable. The importance of taxation to the new empire is self-evident. Financial officials cannot come up with money out of thin air to support expeditions and empire construction. The primary purpose of tax collectors is to establish a complete tax collection mechanism. Ensure that appropriate taxes are collected regularly and automatically.”
"Let's put it on hold for now, at least until the Covenant invaders are expelled from the Otanius sector. At the same time, local officials must be urged to intervene in the development of each planet and release the wealth accumulated among the powerful and capital giants. Go to the people." Zhang Han said firmly, "We can't do nothing and just ask them to pay money, no one will be willing to do that."
Ainion showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
But due to the other party's status, she had to bend down to show that she was obeying his orders.
The message window was marked as rejected and closed.
Next, they discussed several proposals.
Some were passed and some were abandoned.
Finally, there is a heavyweight proposal.
[Total war plan with the Star Alliance]
"We wasted a lot of precious time on other matters, now let us return to what we do best. Study how to win this war, destroy the Covenant and avenge the sacrifice of humanity."
Zhang Han glanced at everyone.
Government affairs are undoubtedly a torture for everyone here.
Talking about the war is what they should do most.
Master Chief John stood up first.
The projection in front of him also changed.
A mushroom-shaped giant building appeared on the projection table.
Slowly rotate, allowing everyone to see its full picture.
"The Covenant suffered a disastrous defeat. They will definitely withdraw to the City of High Charity, seek to reorganize the army, and choose an opportunity to launch another attack."
"City of Charity?" Julius, the first company commander of the Third Legion asked.
John paused before introducing information about High Charity.
"The City of High Charity is the headquarters of the Covenant and their religious sanctuary. It is a huge celestial-class battleship. In the previous wars, I lurked inside once. The technology inside was very advanced, far beyond what was available at the time. The Star Alliance. I have every reason to suspect that this City of Charity does not actually belong to the Star Alliance, but to the supporters behind them."
"Forerunner?" Zhang Han looked thoughtful and named the Forerunner who had been suspected to be the supporter behind the Star Alliance.
"Yes, Forerunner." John nodded.
"Forerunners? What kind of race are they?" Julius asked.
The fleet's senior intelligence chief, Madwa, stood up.
"I have searched the intelligence database left by the Human Alliance, which contains archives about the Forerunners, but I am not sure whether the two are the same race."
Projections of geometric symbols, buildings, and life forms appeared on the council table, slowly rotating and emitting a shimmering light.
John saw the geometry of one of the projections.
"It's this, I saw this in High Charity."
"In that case, the forerunners recorded by the Human Alliance are most likely the supporters behind the Star Alliance." Zhang Han looked at Madwa, "Let me introduce the forerunners in the Human Alliance database in detail."
Madhwa nodded.
"When humans entered the stars and began large-scale colonization, the Forerunner race had begun to decline from its glorious period. Their territory had shrunk, occupying an edge of the galaxy and becoming a lost race."
The lost race is also called the fallen race.
It is used to describe those races that have powerful technology and psychic systems, but for unknown reasons give up the struggle for hegemony in the star sea and choose to hide in a corner to survive.
There are multiple fallen races recorded in the database of the Human Alliance.
Forerunner is just one of them.
"The first clear record of contact between the Forerunners and humans was 4 years ago. At that time, a starship accidentally entered the star field where the Forerunners were located, which opened up the exchange between humans and the Forerunners. This race possesses very advanced psychic powers. and technology, but the entire race was slowly dying. Humans at that time hoped to coexist harmoniously with this ancient race. After all, a race that continues to decline does not pose much of a threat to a newly rising race, and it can still Learned some ancient knowledge and technological concepts from each other’s hands.”
"At the beginning, the Forerunners were willing to maintain peace with humans, but soon they tore up the peace agreement and launched an attack on humans. The reason for launching the war was that humans had the potential for ascension that they did not have. During the long period of racial war, Here, the real reason for the decline of the Forerunner race has also been learned by humans. The Forerunners tried psychic ascension and wanted to evolve to a higher level through the subspace, but they failed, suffered backlash, and were cursed by the subspace."
"This curse is very powerful, making the descendants of the Forerunners extremely easy to mutate and become twisted chaos eggs. The Forerunners spent a lot of time and resources, but were unable to solve this curse. Under the influence of this curse, whether artificially cultivated or naturally The probability of giving birth, the larvae being twisted, and the emergence of Chaos Eggs is very high. What’s even more terrible is that after the Forerunner dies, the soul will fall into a dark abyss and be torn into pieces by the monsters lurking there.”
"In this way, as time goes by, the number of Forerunner races decreases, a large number of areas are abandoned, and civilization slowly declines. The original plan was to hide in a remote corner of the universe and disappear quietly like many races in the history of the universe. In the course of time, until the arrival of humans broke their original tranquility."
"Humanity is a vigorous race of the rising sun. Their souls are pure and flawless. They have a certain understanding of subspace, but not much. They are still at the stage where they believe that science and truth can answer all the questions in this world. Facing the challenges of the universe Unknown mysteries, such as those sleeping past and ancient whispers, they firmly believe that technology is not developed enough, so they cannot be explained."
"The initial contact between the two races was relatively smooth. The Forerunners were not hostile to humans and were even happy to see expansion. They wanted to see the other race follow its own path and become the main target of subspace creatures. But humans soon showed their With their talents, they quickly adapted to the subspace and actively changed. The forerunners realized that this race was not that simple. Humans have amazing adaptability to any environment and learned how to survive in it."
“After realizing the potential of humans, the Forerunners launched a war out of jealousy. During the war, they discovered another use of humans. The souls of human dead can save them from falling into the dark abyss after death. Humans will be replaced by them. Those weird creatures tore it apart.”
"The Forerunners had many powerful technological creations, the most outstanding of which was the giant construct-the Halo, an infinitely powerful biological pulse weapon that could destroy all life in the entire galaxy by emitting a cross-phase neutrino wave. After accurate charging and debugging, this giant device can also selectively kill higher-order life species with specific neural structures."
"At the beginning of the war, human technology was backward and primitive compared to the Forerunners. The human army was repeatedly defeated by the Forerunner legions and retreated steadily. However, the number of Forerunners was too small, and the radiation waves released by the halo array could only Traveling in reality cannot exceed the speed of light. Although these defeats caused heavy casualties to humans, they did not threaten the survival of the race. This situation lasted until the emergence of the Human Alliance, and the war situation reversed. Humans created their own giant structure - Burning The Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Rays, the Forerunners began to fail. Their numbers were too small to make perfect use of their technology."
"The Forerunners ultimately failed because of population. Humanity was not cursed. There were many more babies born in a day than the dead. The original number of people already made them passive. With the unity of humanity, their defeat was certain."
"In the final battle, they activated all the haloes, severely damaged the human army, and then left the galaxy and fled into the boundless dark void."
Senior Intelligence Director Madhva detailed the data on the Forerunners.
Even Otanius doesn't have these data links.
It's all the secret knowledge of the Human Alliance.
With the opening of the underground palace, the Galactic Empire inherited everything from the Human Alliance.
This is unmatched by other human civilizations in the galaxy.
What they got were just fragments, while what the Galactic Empire got was a complete technology tree.
John and Keith were both shocked when they heard this.
He had been fighting with the Star Alliance for so long, but he didn't even know this! !
The Galactic Empire actually knew all about this.
"Sounds like a difficult opponent." Zhang Han said, "It has technology no less than that of the Human Alliance. It was only because the number of races was too small that it was defeated by humans. Before leaving, it also severely damaged humans. Its strength Really strong.”
The glory of the Human Alliance is beyond the reach of the current Galactic Empire.
Even in its early stages, its strength far exceeded that of the Galactic Empire.
The Forerunners were able to severely damage the human army at that time, and they certainly had enough strength to fight against or even crush the Third Legion.
This war must be done cautiously and cautiously.
The Forerunner race was small in number and had low fecundity, which was their drawback.
As long as they drag the opponent into a war of attrition, they have a chance of winning.
"Now that they control the Star Alliance, they have made up for the shortcomings of insufficient population. Presumably those cutting-edge technologies can be used to their fullest, and this battle will be very brutal." Madeva lowered his voice and said, "To deal with the Star Alliance, There must be no way around the forerunners.”
"Forerunner, Star Alliance." Zhang Han murmured to himself.
This is a challenge, but also an opportunity.
If he can eliminate the threats from the Covenant and the Forerunners, his reputation will skyrocket.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Han said, "First collect information about the City of Charity, determine the opponent's coordinates and troop deployment, and then launch a full-scale offensive after determining the basic situation, striving to completely wipe out the Star Alliance and force out the Forerunners. "
They talked for a while about some countermeasures after the Forerunners intervened in this war.
For example, the biological pulse to deal with the halo, as well as the various attack methods that appear in the Human Alliance database.
After the meeting, everyone went to prepare.
John went to gather the Spartans for screening and strengthening.
Keyes worked with Imperial officials to push for resolutions.
Zhang Han and several company commanders began to practice how to destroy the City of Charity in one fell swoop, kill the Star Alliance, and draw out the Forerunners.
The warp storm subsided with the arrival of the expeditionary force.
The will of the Holy Emperor is constantly expanding.
Some galaxies within the empire's territory can already see shining stars reappearing in the dark night sky.
This represents the initial restoration of space-time continuity.
The Empire's extermination of the Ironbloods is still in progress.
The Iron-Blooded main star has been destroyed, but there are still many colonies.
What the First Expeditionary Force is doing now is to sweep away the Iron Bloods and the gods they believe in, completely sweeping them into the trash.
Since the Iron Bloods could no longer form a large-scale counterattack fleet, the First Expeditionary Force was divided into several groups, striving to sweep away the Iron Bloods as quickly as possible, forcing them to flee their homes again and flee into the endless void.
The strategic meeting room of the Holy Tribulation.
The hum of machinery resounded throughout the vast space.
"The Second Squadron and the Third Squadron have swept away the iron-blooded colonies in the eastern region." Fenniu, who is responsible for intelligence management, is reporting the information obtained from the spiritual messengers to several high-level officials in the empire.The Spirit Messenger is currently the main means of communication between the different fleets of the Galactic Empire.
They are bound to the Holy Emperor.
The information sent is absolutely reliable.
Wang Ben, Elsa, Casar and others listened silently to Fenyu's report.
Tactical projections and information windows floated above the conference table, illuminating their faces with a faint glow.
When the data flow follows Fenyu's report, the faint light will be strengthened.
Fifteen minutes later, after finishing speaking, Fenyu closed the data pad in his hand and sat back in his seat.
"So far, the divided areas have basically been swept away." Elsa glanced at the green area on the projection.
First Company Commander Yakos also nodded and agreed with Elsa's words, "More than 100 galaxies colonized by Iron Blood have been turned into ruins or killing fields by us. The organic Iron Blood army has completely disappeared, and the remaining There are only stragglers who resist.”
"We have won the victory." Kasar, who was in charge of the army command, said, "The Iron Bloods have lost all the courage to resist. We are meaningless here and there is no need for such a huge military force."
"Then where should we go?" Elsa asked, "The last order the Holy Emperor gave us was to sweep away the Iron Bloods. Until now, He is unwilling to receive us. Without new orders, we can't go anywhere. "
"Then go ask for a new order, or ask for the reason for us to stay here." Stia, the meeting representative of the Mecha Corps, said.
"Are you going?" Elsa asked.
"I'm not suitable."
"Then who is suitable?"
Stia fell into silence, and then looked at Wang Ben who was in charge.
Others also looked at Wang Ben.
The leader of the first legion, Wang Ben is the person with the highest status in the expeditionary army besides the Holy Emperor.
Wang Ben felt something in his heart. He raised his head and found that everyone was looking at him.
"Legion Commander, you must do something!!" Yakos said, "Our mission here is over."
"Yes, legion commander."
After hearing everyone's words, Wang Ben fell into deep thought for a moment.
The Holy Emperor has not shown his face since the Iron-Blooded Mother Planet was destroyed.
If you don't believe in the absolute loyalty of the guards.
Wang Ben even doubted whether the Holy Emperor had been killed.
Maybe it's time for you to go see what's going on.
"Then let me go and ask for instructions."
Wang Ben stood up directly, turned around and walked out of the door.
His bodyguards followed and left with him.
Others sit in their seats.
They had no intention of leaving, but planned to wait for Wang Ben to return new instructions from the Holy Emperor.
The long-term campaign against the Iron-Blooded Clan made them feel bored.
A group of warriors who have lost their courage and have no challenge.
It's just one boring massacre and destruction after another.
In the darkness, Qin Zheng opened his eyes.
The fire burned in his eyes and quickly disappeared.
The pale complexion turned rosy again as time passed.
My energy level also looks much better.
Although he defeated Abeloth in the decisive battle and won the victory.
But he was still injured trying to lure Abeloth into revealing his flaws.
This battle was the first battle that Qin Zheng encountered that could threaten him after he mastered the power of the fire.
From the rise of Xuanyuan Star to the expansion of the Galactic Empire, the enemies Qin Zheng encountered were not actually enemies.
They are just mortal beings.
Even those psychics who have crossed the threshold of divinity are nothing more than weak ants to Qin Zheng.
To a certain extent, Qin Zheng, who controls the fire, is a real being who can stand alongside many evil gods, or even surpass them.
After all, those evil gods cannot operate in real space like him.
Abeloth is an Old One, an eternal being.
Born before time began.
With such an opponent, Qin Zheng could not crush him like he had done with mortals before.
He spent a lot of effort to disguise his failure, and then killed it with one blow, driving it back to the depths of the subspace.
Abeloth was expelled, and Bai Qi was able to defeat the first-generation Sith warriors in the real universe and win the war.
But this incident also gave Qin Zheng some warning.
Those evil gods in subspace should not be underestimated.
They possess the ability to obscure the future and travel to the past.
Even if Qin Zheng could foresee the future, it would be meaningless. The other party could distort or even change the future he saw.
He must be prepared to go to war with the gods.
"Perhaps some necessary measures should be taken."
Qin Zheng pressed the call button on his desk.
Leonidas, wearing golden armor, walked in from the door.
He knelt down on one knee towards Qin Zheng and saluted respectfully.
"His Majesty."
"Get up, Leonidas. Where is Xu Fu now?" Qin Zheng asked.
"Probably he was gambling and drinking in a makeshift bar with the narrator and the bards."
The Holy Inquisition is huge.
There were not only soldiers, but also a large number of workers and technical engineers, as well as chroniclers, bards, artists, etc. who accompanied the army.
An independent society has formed.
There are various entertainment venues.
Human beings cannot stay sane and functioning for long periods of time.
That would be too painful.
People need alcohol and entertainment to relax.
"His interests and hobbies are quite broad. Find him and let him come to see me." Qin Zheng said.
"Understood." Leonidas nodded and walked out.
Qin Zheng stayed alone in his study.
Thinking about the battle with Abeloth and his next plan.
The iron-blooded clan has been destroyed.
The initial rise of the Galactic Empire.
It's time to expand the scope of the war and pile the skulls under the throne higher.
"Kara parasite." Qin Zheng thought of the target that needed to be solved first.
This race took advantage of the Evernight Crisis to return to the Milky Way and took control of the human colonies in that area of the Beidou Star Territory.
The names of colonial planets during the interstellar expansion period of mankind all have certain cultural attributes.
The biggest key to the establishment of the Human Alliance and its formal unification is the strength of Eastern culture in the interstellar era, forcing other human cultures to accept the form of unification in the form of the Alliance.
Otherwise, according to the nature of Western culture, everyone works piecemeal, which is quite good.
Various names with a strong oriental flavor also appeared in the alliance's star map.
For example, Regulus, Spica, Beidou, Ziwei and so on.
These are all very typical examples.
The Beidou Starfield is not a galaxy, but a collective name for many star systems in a large area.
Covers all star systems within 85 light years.
The Kara parasite is active within this star field.
The number of colonial worlds controlled is estimated to be [-].
There are probably countless humans who have been fooled.
This is an alien force far more powerful than iron blood.
What awaits the First Expeditionary Force will be a long and brutal war.
After decades of fighting, Qin Zheng would not be surprised at all.
Qin Zheng planned to help Wang Ben and others gain a foothold, stabilize the battlefield, and then return to the Xuanyuan Galaxy.
Prepare the next stage of the plan and be prepared to fight against the gods.
Plus he hasn't shown up for too long.
You have to show your face and appease the civilians.
Also give a shout out to those guys who had other ideas.
The door to the study room slowly opened due to the push of a mechanical device.
Xu Fu walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty." He bowed and saluted.
"It looks like you're doing well."
Qin Zheng glanced at Xu Fu.
The clothes on the other party's body were very sloppy and smelled of alcohol.
"It's quite moisturizing." Xu Fu grinned.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things. I have called you here this time because I have something to tell you." Qin Zheng looked at Xu Fu, "What do you think of those gods?"
Xu Fu was a little stunned when he heard Qin Zheng's question.
He thought Qin Zheng would not discuss these issues.
"Have you finally realized that you are a god?"
Seeing the boomerang hit Qin Zheng's face, Xu Fu felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
"Human beings do not need gods, and I am not a god." Qin Zheng denied, "I maintain my original point of view. Eternity is meaningless, and gods are meaningless. I just want to hear your opinion, and then entrust you to do it. Issues."
Xu Fu found a chair from one side of the study and sat on it with his legs crossed. "Denying it can't change the truth of the matter."
Nothing Xu Fu did showed any respect for Qin Zheng.
If the door hadn't been closed, the guards' gaze could have killed someone.
Xu Fu didn't care much about this.
Even though he has lost his immortal essence, he is still a powerful psyker with tens of thousands of years of knowledge.
It can be said that he is the most knowledgeable person under Qin Zheng.
He knew that in Qin Zheng's heart, he was very valuable.
I won't kill him, let alone expel him.
"The gods are all hypocrites, and lies are everything to them." Qin Zheng said coldly, "I have no idea about becoming them. Ignorant people will pray to become gods, but smart people will only pray for them to become gods." Reject them. I don’t want to become a god, and humans don’t need a god. In contrast, I prefer to destroy them. To destroy something that is said to be eternal, the scene must be full of irony.”
Xu Fu looked into Qin Zheng's eyes.
The desire for destruction showed in the young emperor's eyes.
It was obvious that he really wanted to do what he said.
Pull the so-called gods into the world and smash everything that claims to be eternal.
Xu Fu averted his eyes and did not look at Qin Zheng for a long time to prevent the other party's authority from affecting his spirit.
"Qin Zheng, you are a madman."
"I think I am a normal person, and our topic should not be about becoming a god. I came to you to discuss something."
Qin Zheng stood on the side of the ship and looked through the observation window at the vast void outside.
"What's going on?" Xu Fu asked.
"When I fought with an old man, the other party traced my past and tried to turn the memories and choices of the past into weapons to kill me. Of course, in the end, that guy failed and was expelled by me and thrown back. The place where he climbed out. But I also realized the crisis. It is not difficult for those powerful subspace life forms to travel to the past."
"I can fight against those terrible creatures, but ordinary humans can't. So I need to establish a comprehensive system to fight against evil gods and the old days."
Xu Fu showed an interested expression.
"Then what are you going to do!! Those gods and the Old Ones are eternal existences, and some are even so old that they can't even compare to the universe. How do you fight against them?"
"They are very strong, but their impact on reality is limited, especially when the curtain between reality and subspace is stable, their extraordinary power is meaningless to reality." Qin Zheng paced back and forth, "Reality, Reason, technology, and our spirit are mankind's best weapons against them. The Old Ones and evil gods may not be killed, but they can be expelled and blocked from human society. I need to establish a series of institutions. Train and develop enough professionals to get them going against those guys.”
"Be specific." Xu Fu said, "You are talking too broadly."
"The future of a race is rooted in the past, especially in the special dimension of time. If the past is destroyed, the future may disappear, and a race will be cursed and headed for death and destruction. So if you want to protect human beings , we must protect the past of mankind.”
"How to protect?"
"My plan is to first establish a time court and train a group of time guardians to maintain the continuity of human history and prevent the destruction of time races or mysterious beings. This is a real war, and I must consider Every node that may fail was the most vulnerable node of human civilization today. The sooner it is protected, the better. The Time Tribunal is just the beginning. I will reorganize the Imperial Security Bureau later to give it all-round capabilities. , the means and abilities to form a system to fight against evil gods and the old days."
"Okay, you are looking more and more like a madman." Xu Fu said with a smile, "Are you crazy enough to start a war with the gods?"
"They are too threatening." Qin Zheng nodded, "We must prepare in advance."
"A big threat? You want to kill them??"
"Do you need any other reason?"
Qin Zheng looked at Xu Fu with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"When going to war in the past, the consequences were unpredictable." Xu Fu said, "This is no joke, you are crossing the red line. It is very likely that the gods will join forces to deal with you."
"Those guys crossed over first. They played with time and claimed to be omniscient and omnipotent. Can they cross the timeline? Can't I?"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. What do you want me to do for you?"
"As the first person in charge of the Time Tribunal, help me deal with those enemies who try to use human history to subvert mankind." Qin Zheng said.
"I'm not crazy." Xu Fu said, "Spanning time is an act that the gods cannot tolerate. This will break some of their rules, and humans will be retaliated against."
There was a cunning light in Qin Zheng's eyes.
"But it's also possible for humans to achieve true transcendence, and those guys have unlimited means and humans have to try to match that."
Qin Zheng stood up and walked to Xu Fu.
His voice was full of bewitchment.
"You have lost your immortality, and your life will slowly burn away. Don't you want those guys to taste the shortness of life like you? Imagine what the gods and the old days will be when they lose their eternity. Their faces!! This universe will be out of their control, what will this universe look like?"
"You are a real destroyer." Xu Fu felt a little excited in his heart.
Well, he admits.
To destroy those eternal things really gives people a sense of anticipation.
"I can promise you, but let me explain first that once the situation goes wrong, I will leave and any consequences will have nothing to do with me."
"Of course, this is your freedom." Qin Zheng said, "No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them."
"It makes me a little uneasy that you agreed so quickly."
Xu Fu looked suspicious.
He has a problem.
"This is sincerity, so we can be candid. Okay, let's settle this matter like this. Choose the subordinates you think are suitable. They must be tough enough to endure the pain caused by time distortion. Of course, loyalty and fighting Ability also needs to be taken into consideration.”
After talking about this matter, Xu Fu got up and left.
When he just walked out of the study, Wang Ben arrived just in time.
Qin Zheng, who knew the purpose of Wang Ben's trip, asked Leonidas to let him in directly.
"Your Majesty, the battle here is over. Do we still need to continue to garrison?" Wang Ben asked as soon as he came in and saluted.
The future is uncertain.
The past has been made constant.
Traveling to the past is also part of the future.
Changing the past is like cutting the trunk of an old tree with a knife. It will not change the appearance of the tree, it will only cause the tree to die.
The grandfather paradox does not exist in this setting because time travelers have been born in the past.
The time traveler goes back in time and kills his grandfather in the future.
Time travel will pass, and all consequences caused by it are things that will happen in the future, not things that happened in the past, because the past has already happened.
The past has happened, just like the trees have grown.
The function of the Time Chamber is to prevent the evil god of subspace from cutting down the roots of the human tree.
The time race will be introduced later, and this matter will be discussed in detail.
If you have better ideas, you can put them forward in the book club.
