Chapter 2143 Twilight Empire

The boy's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he couldn't help but cry out.

Li Yao hastily pinched Li Jialing's neck to prevent both of them from being exposed to the sight of the terrifying "White-haired Witch".

All of Li Linghai's mind seemed to be concentrated on Li Lingfeng, or Li Lingfeng's mouth was in a trance, his flawless and delicate face seemed to be really cracked, and a trace of remorse, resentment, and reluctance leaked from the cracks. A trace of insistence on power, but did not notice the changes in Li Yao and Li Jialing.

However, after just a few seconds, all these emotions froze, as if the invisible mask was glued together again.

Her heart was frozen, and there was no more flaws.

"It seems that from the moment you personally ordered the explosion of the unmanned exploration ship, my good sister finally became those... people she hated and despised, such as me, who feeds on power monster."

Li Lingfeng smiled and said, "That's right, that embryo is just a product of your impulse, or in other words, it is the last remnant of Li Linghai who was weak and sentimental in the past. With the explosion of the unmanned exploration ship, the embryo was destroyed. Li Linghai was also completely dead, and from the unrecognizable corpse, a brand new person was born, an imperial queen with ulterior motives and ambitions!

"Such an imperial empress, in order to achieve her goals, will absolutely use any means, no sacrifices, and will not care about anyone, including her own flesh and blood.

"So, when she learned that this damned embryo's only weakness and biggest flaw hadn't been annihilated, and was raised into an adult, she didn't even hesitate for half a second, and was ready to destroy this embryo for the second time. , killed her son with your own hands, this 'stumbling block' that hinders her ultimate goal, this time, you came here specifically for this purpose, to kill people, not to save people, right?"

Li Linghai was silent for a long time, so long that Li Yao and Li Jialing thought that she might deny it, or at least make some excuses.

But in the end, the Queen of the Empire, with pale hair and almost transparent eyes, still smiled and said, "Which link went wrong, is it the unmanned exploration ship?"

"Yes."

Seeing Li Linghai acquiescing, Li Lingfeng knew that Li Yao and Li Jialing must have heard the cruel answer, and his smile became brighter, "Before then, I had been secretly eyeing you without telling the family. Knowing some information in the palace will help me seek greater benefits within the family.

"At that time, your wings were not yet full, and your resourcefulness was not polished to a perfect degree. If you want to get an unmanned exploration ship without anyone knowing it, and you have to carry out such weird modifications, how can you hide it from everyone? Human eyes and ears?

"You should thank your brother very much, because I helped you kill two people at that time to prevent the secret of this unmanned exploration ship from being leaked out. Otherwise, this matter would have caused a lot of trouble in the city, not what it is now, God knows I know, you know, I know!"

"So that's how I used to be, I was indeed too naive, too childish, and too impulsive."

With one hand on his back, Li Linghai rubbed his temple with the other hand, as if lamenting his past confusion, his cold eyes leaked from his fingers, "So, you have spent decades of hard work raising my child, what do you want? What are you doing?"

"That's not only your own son, but also my own nephew. Since you don't care about your own flesh and blood, it's reasonable for your uncle to raise him!"

Li Lingfeng smiled and said, suddenly his face changed, and he raised his voice, "I should ask you this question, sister, Your Royal Highness, Li Linghai! For decades, you have secretly recruited troops, raised minions, and formed a secret fleet. Taking advantage of the empire's massive march towards the Holy League, and the fleets from all over the world are joining forces and fighting against each other, you have frequent contacts with young and middle-aged officers in the various fleets of the empire, making a series of connections with ulterior motives. What do you want to do? ?

"Hmph, no matter how big the misunderstanding is between you and me, we are all fellow countrymen after all, and you will always be surnamed Li! It doesn't matter if you are bold and reckless, if one day you get burned, ruined, and lost forever, be careful to drag me down. As the elder brother, there is the whole family!

"So, no matter what plans and goals you have, you might as well say them openly and honestly, and everyone communicate well, lest you mess around and end up destroying yourself, me, your family, and even the entire empire!"

"Destroyed the empire?"

Li Linghai smiled lightly, his eyes shone with determination or madness, he shook his head and said, "No, I'm saving the empire."

"Save the Empire?"

Li Lingfeng couldn't help laughing, and waved his arms and said, "Today's true human empire includes the richest world in the sea of ​​stars. The strong are like clouds, the warriors are like rain, and there are more than a million starships. They just defeated their old enemies on the battlefield." The Holy League has been retreating steadily, and it has been five hundred years, no, the strongest time in the millennium, how can we talk about the word "salvation"?"

"Is this your truth, or is it a habit of saying those brainwashing propaganda?"

Li Linghai looked directly at Li Lingfeng, and said calmly, "Don't talk nonsense, you and I both know that the empire of today is no longer the empire of a thousand years ago, and the cultivators of today are not those of a thousand years ago, the real cultivators the ones!

"Thousands of years ago, when Black Star Great Emperor Wu Yingqi founded the True Human Empire, he was so full of vigor, determination, and prosperity!

"At that time, everyone was full of great ambitions. The original people acted as fuel, and the immortal cultivators were the power unit and combat unit of this steel chariot. Everyone united as one to make human civilization triumphantly in the endless star sea. Then develop, evolve, evolve, and continue to evolve, until the limit of the star sea, the limit of civilization, and the life limit of human beings as the strongest fighting race in the universe. This is the most lofty ideal of the immortal cultivators and imperial people thousands of years ago!

"However, thousands of years have passed, has such a grand and vast ideal come true?

"Hehe, don't say anything like 'bravely explore an unprecedented realm and surpass the limit of all intelligent life in the past and present', we have not even discovered and conquered the largest territory of the Star Sea Empire ten thousand years ago. The standard is not as good, but the ancients of ten thousand years ago!

"Sacrificing the lives of hundreds of millions of primitive people as fuel, what have we achieved? Isn't the so-called ideal the biggest joke?"

Li Lingfeng blushed, and couldn't help retorting: "Sister, don't be too forceful, you know that the Star Sea Empire has inherited a huge inheritance of the 30,000-year-old monster dynasty, and it has also been directly enlightened by the prehistoric civilization, which is the so-called" "Fengshen Tianshu" can make human civilization develop by leaps and bounds.

"Since the rebellion of the 'Doomsday War Crazy Blood God Son', the empire has collapsed, and it has been a dark war for nearly ten thousand years. Many worlds have fallen apart, cut off news, and developed on their own. The threat of strange enemies, and the failure to restore the glory of ten thousand years ago is also a helpless thing, so you have shaken the idea of ​​cultivating immortals?"

"Wrong, I have not shaken the idea of ​​cultivating immortals, and I have always been the most loyal believer of the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi, but you guys who are selfish, greedy and corrupt, have long betrayed the Black Star Emperor and the true God. Immortal cultivators can sacrifice all lofty beliefs for human civilization, and become slaves to selfish desires, fake immortal cultivators!"

Li Linghai's eyes widened, and he sneered repeatedly, "If due to temporary difficulties, the ideals and vows made thousands of years ago cannot be realized temporarily, then it is understandable, but look at the smoky empire today, look at these decayed nobles and princes And the rentier class, look at these bugs who cling to their own territory and interests, but also rack their brains, intrigue, and stick out their minions to grab the cake, completely disregarding the overall interests of the empire and human civilization. Are those pure and true immortal cultivators on the same page, and are they really worthy of the honorable title of "immortal cultivator"?

"For the simplest example, just look at this battle between the Empire and the Holy League.

"The current battle is a Jedi counterattack after hundreds of years of rejuvenation by the empire. The expeditionary force has included hundreds of the most elite fleets and powerhouses in the world. The great thousand worlds are dozens of rich, fertile, and extremely important strategically located essence worlds!

"Right now, the Holy League has been severely damaged, and it is dying and dying. As long as all of our nobles and fleet commanders can unite as one, fear no sacrifice, and don't care about our own selfishness, we have every chance to attack the hinterland of the Holy League in one go. , Completely wipe out this serious trouble!

"Even if the Holy League cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, I believe that at least it can deal a fatal blow to the enemy, making the enemy unable to recover within three to five hundred years, and completely losing the capital to compete with the empire for the star sea!

"Such a simple truth, I can think of it, can't you think of it? Can't the princes in the temple think of it? Those patriarchs, suzerains, dignitaries and fleet commanders can't think of it?

"It's just, hehe, no one is willing to make sacrifices and venture deep into the hinterland of the Holy League to fight a arduous battle of annihilation.

"No one wants to face the desperate counterattack of the Holy League.

"Everyone is staring at others, it is best that the fleets of other princes can die together with the Holy Alliance fleet, and I can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Even, the war is not over yet, but all the princes and warlords have already set their sights on the dozens of elite worlds that have just been conquered. This steaming cake has not yet been baked, and countless claws can't wait to stretch it out!

"Yes, although the situation on the front line is very good now, this battle can no longer be fought.

"The military theorists supported by the nobles and princes made a big show of throwing out countless reasons why they shouldn't 'adventure', shouting the words 'poor bandits don't chase' loudly, and vowed that the Holy League has been beaten. If you are disabled, it will not be a problem for the empire for a hundred years. The empire has achieved the most glorious victory in the millennium. Maybe those stupid primitive people will believe these nonsense, but you and I know it well, we are missing a time Best chance, huh?

"This is the current state of the empire.

"The empire of real humans, which seems to be powerful, still talks about the 'ZTE atmosphere' on the surface, but in fact it is deeply depressed, and it is completely rotten in its bones!"
