From star abyss

Chapter 881 096. Philosopher King

Although the Philosopher King set the main tone, different opinions still came from the darkness.

"King, it seems that this matter is not that simple."

The Empire’s Minister of Defense, Karena Anfei, stood up. This Omega-level strongman was promoted to this position after returning from the abyss, and was eager to express himself:

“Isn’t it too coincidental that when the [social] invasion breaks out on the front foot, there will be riots on the back foot?”

"Indeed."

Quan Shaguang, the chairman of the Imperial Security Committee, and Karina have common interests, and he followed Karina and agreed:

"After the Level 5 Silent Disconnection broke out, we conducted a large-scale and thorough investigation into the [social] espionage problem in the country. The other party knew that we were keeping a close eye on [society], and deliberately used this trick to confuse the public, create panic, and explain to the other party He knows the Empire very well, and may even be a citizen of the Empire—most likely sent by other Narratives!”

"I think so."

The one who spoke was the Imperial Marshal, [Bai Huqing] Hu Yanshuo. As a true supporter of the gods, his body was completely divine, just like his title. His porcelain skin was as white as the moon, with jet-black lines scattered in all directions, full of... A ferocious aura.

As a conservative in the empire, he has always felt that the empire's style is too conservative. Although the young new marshal is relatively stable, his heart is still extremely eager to make achievements and promote the narrative of imperialism to the entire abyss.

It would be a pity not to use it to start a war after finally seizing such an excuse.

Following Hu Yanshuo's words, most people in the Imperial Council also began to think about this inconspicuous incident.

Of course, not everyone is a conservative like Hu Yanshuo.

"King, it seems that someone is instigating our citizens. At this stage, the empire has not thoroughly investigated the enemy, so it is not appropriate to cause trouble."

The voice of reason comes from [Qinglongqing] Mao Tianxing. As a supporter of the empire, he is an industrialist who focuses on development. Compared with Baihuqing, he is more thoughtful and does not care about these small things.

"I don't think this is what spies do. If they do it so openly, it would be too reckless. I agree more: this is a [social] citizen who is very familiar with the empire, personally involved, hiding it from us, and trying to What is Chilanxing doing?"

"Seconded."

[Suzaku Qing] Huang Suyan smoked a hookah and said lightly:

"According to the Abyss Bureau, the Empire's Abyss Bureau on the Red Lan Star originally planned to arrange for Red's daughter, Glena Shuixuan, to dive down and leave. But if something like this happened, the Abyss Bureau would definitely be eager to do so. Send the person away quickly, lest he has a problem locally and the group comes to hold him accountable."

"Looking at it this way, it is unlikely that the group will participate."

[Qing Xuanwu] Bei Minggui crossed his arms and said with a smile:

"It's just that... a group is impossible. What about the temple?"

"Your Excellency Bei Minggui, you know all about the festivals with the temple. Isn't it just that a patriarch robbed your first love? His great-grandson has already been buried in a coffin, and you are still trying to do this."

"However, since the group has been excluded and it is not the temple, could it be the empire itself? What Lord Xuanwu said makes sense."

"The words of a man who has been cuckolded are colored."

"Then the point of view of a woman who smokes seems to be tinged with gunpowder. If you want to talk like that, you can't say it like that."

"Fuck you, Hu Yanshuo, I'm smoking hookah without an open flame, you know nothing!"

The god-supporters of the empire have always been known for their lack of mystery. Even though several Omegas (24) are already the strongest people in the narrative and have taken seats in the parliament, they have no airs at all. They speak unscrupulously and without any scruples. Regardless of the surrounding environment and identity.

In a certain respect, this is also a major feature of the empire's narrative. As strong men of force, the empire's god-supporters and ordinary empire bureaucrats still have an equal relationship.

They can speak freely and don't have to worry about what they said wrong. Anyway, there is a problem. With the speed of information update in the inherent time domain, the public will be overwhelmed by the massive amount of information in a short time.

Of course, the more important reason is the philosopher king on the throne.

When other members of the council started discussing it, it became clear that this matter was no longer an ordinary security incident.

Although the Philosopher King always believed that this was just a trivial matter as big as a fly due to his years of experience in governing, in this special period, the people and bureaucrats of the empire obviously would not accept this.

"These god-advocates, on the surface, are for the security of the empire, but in fact they are all private goods, and they all want to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their influence."

As the leader of the empire, the Philosopher King's team has always adhered to the practice of never leaving home for anything. It is not that they are really afraid that there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys will be kings.

In fact, the Philosopher King was never the highest warrior in the empire.

Only beasts will respect the strong as king and highly value personal violence.

The individual strength of the Destroyers is unmatched by anyone in the Star Abyss. They represent unreasonable foreign concepts and are the pinnacle of individual force.

However, the Destroyer was defeated and disappeared from sight.

Because individuals are always limited, and can even be perfect, it means there is no room for improvement, and the upper limit has been locked.

It was the [Society] and the ancient divine warriors who defeated the Destroyer, and it was those [Society] who defeated the last divine warrior, Leoz.

But now, after the [Social] coalition forces invaded Xingyuan, they were turned away by Narrative Civilization!

The reason why civilization is powerful is that it allows professionals to do professional things, allows everyone to develop their own expertise, and allows everyone to become an expert in their own field and position.

As the saying goes, everyone is an emperor, and heroes gather to form a federation. This is exactly what it is.

The Philosopher King alone can take on 87% of the government affairs in the entire empire's 4.7 million square light-year star field.

He has 28*10 to the power of 29 independent personalities. One person is a country. He can sympathize with the sentiments of the people everywhere, and knows how to deal with all kinds of people, men, women, old and young. He not only understands the dignity of a big country, but also understands the care of small people better than you.

When necessary, a large number of personalities can descend on the bureaucratic team in the imperial state at any time to take over government affairs.

Of course, this terrifying personality calculation power is also one of the empire's weapons.

As we all know, the human brain is the best quantum computer. When the philosopher king drives the computing power at full power, the secondary effects caused can easily detonate all the stars in a galaxy.

His wisdom can simultaneously support three different policy and diplomatic choices and preview the data for the next 20 years.

Although 70% of the data will be intercepted and contaminated due to the interference of the group and the temple, the remaining 30% of accurate data alone has exceeded the level of all secular politicians.

So, what's the cost?

The price is to create a philosopher king, which requires countless young heroes who love the empire, are loyal to the empire, and swear to dedicate their lives to the narrative of imperialism. They will devote their lives, even the dead bodies, and incorporate them all into Within the great narrative blueprint.

The Philosopher King has no name, and even the title "Philosopher King" was given to him by outsiders who respected him. He is the will of the country, the personality of civilization, and the narrator of the narrative of the entire empire.

The Philosopher King was not surprised by the dispute between the imperial bureaucratic elites. In fact, they were not wrong. Each had their own reasons.

Arguing is never useful because it never leads to anything nutritious.

But the act of quarreling is useful in itself. The more silent you are, the more you will be looked down upon. Only children who cry will be fed. This principle applies to all civilizations.

When the four emperors and ministers just started to bring up this topic and everyone had their own opinions, the philosopher king had already begun to mobilize computing power, collect materials, build models, and start running deductions in secret.

In a sense, this approach is very similar to timeline deduction, but it is completely different because time does not exist at all.

Most of the time, the ability is just like the 'SL God Cult', leaving a save file in place, and then starting to move forward. If something is wrong, there is a conflict in the program running, quickly rewind it, thus forming a seemingly discontinuous process. , the illusion of time that is actually still continuous.

The Philosopher King's deduction is very simple and crude.

"Sequence 30·Circuit"

"Sequence 19·Rugged"

"Sequence 4·Destiny"

The golden eyes of the Philosopher King quickly spread, and a splendor of broken glass appeared.

At this moment, his posture suddenly rose into the fifth-dimensional space, and he could easily see the life of everyone present.

[Bai Huqing] fought all his life and finally returned with great achievements. However, on the way to victory, he was assassinated by the followers of the evil god, and finally degenerated and became an evil monster who opposed the empire.

[Zhuque Qing] likes to smoke because she wants to commemorate her mortal husband who has been with her for the past 200 years. As a supporter of gods, her love for mortals has never deteriorated.

[Qinglongqing] seems calm and steady, but in fact he is a sweet talker and a sharp sword. He has a lot of sympathy for [society], and to a certain extent even agrees with [society]'s concept of absolute equality - despite this, he still loves the country. , even until his death, he never surrendered to [society].

[Qing Xuanwu]'s hatred for the Temple was too serious. In his old age, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and secretly funded some terrorists from the "Knowledgeless Cult" to cause massacres in the countries that were affiliated with the Temple.

…………

Of course, this is just a large model based on information captured in social media and ubiquitous quantum network nodes.

There will definitely be a large number of Templar priests spreading awareness and interference, and the group will not be stingy in investing capital in this area and using navy to discredit its image.

What's more, people will change, and no matter what the result of each calculation is, it is just an evaluation.

The Philosopher King did not pay special attention to this information. From the current point of view, the Yanyan princes of the empire are still loyal to their motherland and faith, and still adhere to the imperialist narrative - this is enough.

He began to turn his attention to Chilan Star and began to restore the scene by collecting information.

"Start the restoration of the Chilan Star Hidden Abyss Port Incident..."

He saw information that had been ignored by bureaucrats and surveillance blind spots.

——Not long before the incident, three young men and women entered the inherent time domain through legal means.

Moreover, one of them has a [social] aura about him.

…No, that’s not a congressman.

There was a hint of surprise in the Philosopher King's eyes.

"What is this? He is not a citizen of [society], but he can possess the characteristics and abilities of a parliamentarian. Not only that, he also retains the path on the abyss side... This biological signal, his genes... are the same as mine. Arcanist?"

strangeness.

Although he clearly possesses such powerful arcane energy, the other party has not taken the path of [Domination] like himself.

What's even stranger is...

Even without converting to the path of [Domination], this child is extremely skilled in controlling arcana. In life, he can switch arcana many times and move smoothly with great ease, as if he regards arcana as a part of his body.

This is simply incredible.

With this surprise, the Philosopher King began to reconstruct the entire incident.

Although Leoz and others enjoyed the protection of the Leanding Medical Agreement, their identities were not exposed, nor were the several illegal immigrants.

However, under the operation of [Sequence 4·Destiny], the entire content of the Battle of the Rooftop was still completely restored.

The facial information of the team members has been hidden, and the genetic data cannot be traced - but this phenomenon is exactly the same as that of the undead warriors active in the Valkyrie Fortress - the 'Adventors'.

"These children are all descendants. It seems that these powers are still too underestimated... No, even among the descendants, these children are still at the top level."

The Philosopher King of this generation was born on the path of [Dominator] and is the owner of sequential arcana. No one knows better than him how difficult it is to train and learn arcana.

Conversion to the [Dominator] path requires genetic mutation. Most [Mutants] cannot be said to be alien monsters in the early stage, at least they are deformed freaks.

Year-round genetic load affects the body directly leading to hormone disorders, and hormones are the root cause of personality control.

Why [Lord] Among those who are on the road to becoming gods, eight out of ten are terrorists, one is a lunatic, and the remaining one is still in a worrying mental state - just like people who take fitness pills and randomly inject hormones, they have endocrine disorders and abnormal tempers, but Those that endanger society are relatively good.

Arcanists must undergo protective containment and arcane training before their minds mature. Otherwise, if they are not careful, they can force children to become terrorists.

Even if players use filters, it is very difficult to practice arcane proficiency, and they may not be much better than local geniuses.

This is still a conversion to the path of [Domination]. If it is a wild arcane user, or someone who has awakened the arcana from other paths, most of them would want to undergo surgery to remove the arcana, which will not only cause genetic load. , and also affect mood.

In human terms, this is: Your mystical power has disturbed my Taoist mind, and you have already found a way to death, so you should be killed.

Even the most outstanding [Dominator] genius in the empire today is nothing more than this.

Therefore, when the Philosopher King saw that among the three people entering the country, the invincible True General showed proficiency in the use of arcane powers as a non-path to ascend to the gods, and the evolved [Bloodline] arcane energy simulated the aura of the [Blacksmith] Senator. At this time, the narrative leader showed a skeptical attitude towards life for the first time.

Even the almost omniscient philosopher king is completely unable to understand:

"Why is it that a Zeta level (6) [Qigong Master] with a biological age of no more than 40 years old can switch arcane energy so smoothly with one hand?"
