Text Chapter 1599 At the End of the Red Tide, the Dark Moon Rises

At the same time, in the depths of the vast sea of ​​stars, Tianyuan Realm, the capital of the Xingyao Federation, Tiandu City.

Ever since the Blood Demon Realm surrendered conditionally to the Tianyuan Realm a hundred years ago, the three realms have merged and developed at a high speed, and the population has exploded accordingly. The population of the Tianyuan Realm alone has increased by no less than ten times, and the area of ​​Tianyuan City has expanded by dozens of times. Not only has it devoured more than a dozen surrounding satellite cities, but it has also continued to advance to higher places. Relying on ultra-high-speed lifting platforms and short-distance transmission arrays made of new materials, a new space port city has been established outside the atmosphere, known as "the next day city".

The super-giant starships from the seven great worlds and countless resource planets can be parked directly in the space port area, and then appear on the ground of Tiandu in an instant by means of a short-distance teleportation array.

This is a vibrant and extremely prosperous city, and it is also a progressive and ever-changing paradise. Nearly one billion people live in the sky, on the ground and underground, and together provide a strong beating force for the heart of Star Federation!

The southeast of Tiandu City is a solemn and solemn administrative area. Across a small square full of flowers and fragrant with birds and flowers, is the "Ministry of Equality and Development" building.

In this small square, there is a very famous statue named "Rainbow Smile".

They were seven children dressed in different clothes and even in different shapes, showing distinctive local characteristics of the seven realms of Tianyuan, Blood Demon, Flying Star, Netherworld, Crystal, Sky Ring, and Tree Sea. Three boys and four girls, surrounded by a circle, were carefree. Jumping up and down to play games.

Whether it's a little girl from the Blood Demon Realm who has a little demon blood, or a native of the Tree Sea Realm who has flowers and plants growing on her body with special seeds implanted under the surface of the skin, or a young boy from the Nether Realm who died prematurely in a steel puppet, They all had the same bright smile on their faces.

This statue is a symbol of the "Fusion of the Seven Realms", the most popular image of the Federation in recent decades, and its imitations can be seen everywhere in the streets and squares of the Seven Worlds, and even have been extracted into highly generalized features, Become the emblem of the federal "Ministry for Equality and Development".

However, if one climbs up the iron-gray stairs of the Development Department Building and enters the interior of the Development Department Building, one will see another statue with a different style in the lobby, a statue that may better explain the true function of the "Development Department" .

Those are seven big hands, holding seven swords of different shapes and also with strong local characteristics, crossed and overlapped.

The seven swords were all stained with blood, and strands of winding blood even blended together.

The name of this statue is "The League of Seven Swords".

"Click, click, click!"

The clatter of high-heeled shoes came from the mirror-smooth star-spotted marble.

When Jin Xinyue walked past the statue of "The Alliance of Seven Swords", she adjusted her glasses with dark purple frames to hide the subtle emotions reflected in the statue in her eyes.

"Hello Minister!"

The civil servants who came and went greeted her one after another, and she responded with the most perfect smile. Even the low-level staff who have just graduated from university and have only worked in the development department for two or three years can feel from her approachable smile. That genuine warmth.

A hundred years ago, in the battle to stop the "spore virus outbreak" in the blood demon world, Jin Xinyue, who rushed to the front line desperately, has always been holy, glorious, compassionate, and spotless.

A hundred years of time did not seem to have left too many traces on her delicate skin like suet jade, but it brought a deeper and stronger charm to her deep beautiful eyes and gestures, especially that The two just-right laugh lines symbolize that she has completely evolved from a young girl to the brightest, most gorgeous, and most attractive age of a woman.

As one of the high-ranking members of the Federation, she has been used to wearing simple black and white clothes for many years, and she also wears a pair of mysterious glasses that don't have much meaning to a cultivator to conceal her shocking beauty.

Today, she is still wearing a black suit that cannot be more formal, and there are only a few jewelry on her body, except for the "smiling rainbow" brooch on the chest in the shape of the badge of the Ministry of Development, and the slender jade neck hanging down. , a string of necklaces with the nine-star rising dragon battle emblem as a pendant.

This is the same as her public statement to the news media a long time ago, "I am a woman married to Star Federation".

Her approachable and flawless smile has not faded even in the No. 1 lifting platform dedicated to the minister.

She didn't feel relieved until the door slid open slightly and she stepped into the corridor on the 33rd floor of the Development Department Building. The glasses with dark purple frames also changed with the light, slowly rippling a touch of blood. In one breath, from the cracks in the smile, there was a faint "femme fatale" temperament.

"Click, click, click!"

Her waist suddenly became straighter, her chest became higher, and her pace suddenly accelerated, like an extremely sharp sword, rushing towards her target.

"President!"

"Happy President!"

In the corridor, some burly men with scars all over their faces, vicious shapes, and even strong monster features changed their faces, put their legs together, and saluted her respectfully.

"Um."

This time, she no longer smiled uselessly one by one, but just nodded slightly to them, and quickly walked towards her destination.

The 33rd floor of the Development Department Building is the "Logistics and Cleaning Department". These fierce and strong men are all the "cleaners" of the Development Department.

Of course, they have another identity as an employee of the Dark Moon Foundation.

And Jin Xinyue is the president of the Dark Moon Foundation.

Not everyone is qualified to call her "President". Only the old brothers who have lived and died together in the four new worlds in the past few decades and have survived many battles have such...power.

Cleaning Department, Archives Management Room.

Jin Xinyue closed the door from the inside.

There was a mechanical turning sound of "click, click" from the depths of the thick alloy gate, and more than ten defensive rune arrays flickered one by one, which proved that the files accumulated here were by no means as simple as how much toilet paper the Development Department used last year.

In the archives management room, there was only a half-old spiritual prosthetic body, which was manipulated by a ghost cultivator who seemed to be dying.

In government departments, especially those involved in the field of combat, ghost cultivators account for a large part of their employees.

These people are often veterans who have experienced many battles before their lives. They have made great contributions to the country. After the unfortunate sacrifice, they are lucky not to die, and still retain a relatively clear consciousness.

If you don't want to retire, you will often stay in the original department and continue to serve in the form of grassroots clerical work.

However, the archivist looked particularly old, moving and even turning very slowly, and his dim eyes fell into complete silence from time to time, as if they would completely disappear in the next second.

"The Dark Moon Project has begun."

Jin Xinyue sat down and looked at the archivist with a complicated expression, as if full of expectation, but also a little uneasy, "I have been planning for this for thirty years, just to draw a complete picture of the 'Red Tide Project' Don't you have anything to say?"

The archivist raised his rusty head slowly from the dusty files, his cloudy crystal eyes radiated intermittent light with difficulty, and he was silent for a long time without speaking.

"What a pity."

Jin Xinyue continued to smile, but the smile was indescribably bitter and lonely, as if she was talking to herself, "I spent the best thirty or one hundred years of my life, and even bet my own The entire future, from the 'Red Tide Project' to the 'Dark Moon Project', has finally reached the most critical scene, but the two 'audiences' I am most looking forward to, you have been asleep for too long, and you have become like this, but he is still lost in the In the depths of the star sea, I don't know where to go..."

A "hissing" sound came from the archivist's old-fashioned vocal array, and it took a lot of effort to gather together a piece of advice: "Don't... turn yourself into... the second Lu Zui."

"Lu Zui?"

Jin Xinyue took off the Xuanguang glasses with thin amethyst frames, put them in her white and delicate palms, and said lightly, "Do you know, for decades, I have been replaying the confrontation between the Blood Demon Realm and the Tianyuan Realm back then. As a way of thinking games and relaxation, sometimes, I even really put myself into the perspective of the Patriots organization, into Lu Zui, thinking about how to break the situation and completely wipe out the Yaozu!"

"It's difficult. I have to admit that the situation Lu Zui is facing is really difficult. The time, place and people are right, and almost nothing is on his side."

"However, among the many ways to break the situation, he chose the most stupid one. The assassination of the speaker in Federation Square, and even the deliberate massacre of civilians completely nailed him to the pillar of shame in history, and he will never stand up again. .”

"I can't help but think, if Lu Zui hadn't done this at the time, didn't do these things that completely broke the bottom line, but chose another relatively legal method to implement his ideas, what would have happened?"

"Perhaps at that time he has no chance and will temporarily lose that battle, but he can retain most of his vitality, and continue to make waves in the next hundred years and make a comeback!"

"You all say that Lu Zui is a native cultivator of the Federation, but even if he really upholds the idea of ​​a cultivator, as long as he doesn't do things that impact the federal laws and the bottom line of the people too much, others, including my master, can take What should Lu Zui do?"

"In the final analysis, he was too impatient, but there was nothing he could do. At that time, Lu Zui was already an old man in his dying years. His time was running out, so he could only fight to the death. Otherwise, what could he do?"

"But I'm different, don't worry, Lu Zui and I are different."

"Lu Zui lost, but I will win."

Jin Xinyue, Minister of Equality and Development of Star Federation, covered her eyes again with reddish lenses, paused, and smiled brighter, "We will win!" (To be continued.)
