Chapter 2308 The Real Enemy!
On Li Yao's eyes, two faint golden rings flashed. He poured spiritual energy into the pupils, and then irradiated Dongfang Wang's body, and he could clearly perceive Dongfang Wang's magnetic field of life.
This kind of spying on the magnetic field of life is quite a provocative act. If Dongfang Wang has a clear mind and a strong soul, he will automatically launch a counterattack.
But now the former prime minister of the empire is in a daze, insane, completely indulging in the old glory and wild fantasies, and has not noticed the prying of the outside world at all.
From the perspective of Li Yao's "spiritual eyes", Dongfang Wang disappeared completely, replaced by clusters of distorted and restless magnetic fields, just like countless shining double helical chains entangled together.
But the double helix, which was supposed to be colorful and shining, was constantly invaded by the darkness, corrupted, withered and broken at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a puff of black mist and scattered, dissipated in the air, and annihilated in the sky. invisible.
Long Yangjun did not lie to him, Dongfang Wang was indeed on his deathbed, and the magnetic field of life was about to collapse completely, from flesh and blood to soul and will.
Seeing that the former Prime Minister of the Majestic Human Empire has fallen to such a state, Li Yao has mixed feelings in his heart. For cultivators, Dongfangwang is the leader of the cultivators, and it should be the existence of the "ultimate big devil" series. Isn't it supposed to fight for 30,000 rounds, and after paying all kinds of tragic prices, it is extremely difficult to eliminate him?
Didn't expect him to die so easily before he even moved a little finger?
Li Yao and the entire Xingyao Federation had fantasies and fears about the empire more than a hundred years ago. It seems that this is not the case at all. Does this mean that "every family has a hard-to-recite scripture"?
The Federation has the life and death threat of the Federation, and the Empire also has the fundamental problem of the Empire. When facing the vast sea of stars, no matter the Federation or the Empire, they are so small!
After pondering for a moment, Li Yao opened his hands and released two soft spiritual energy, which poured into Dongfang Wang's body, trying to delay the collapse of his vital magnetic field as much as possible, and stimulate his cerebral cortex, which was on the verge of exhaustion, to wake up for a while.
As the pale golden spiritual energy continuously enveloped his whole body, Dongfang Wang let out a weak groan, the madness and unwillingness in his eyes receded a little, his eyes became clear for a moment, and then were shrouded in a gray mist of pain and despair.
"It's you...you're finally here...my time has come."
At this moment, Dongfangwang is like an old man who can finally face the reality, leaning his head gently on the human-shaped package in his arms, and muttering to himself, "I lost, I lost completely, and I lost completely!"
Although his eyes were fixed on Li Yao, his attention was obviously not on Li Yao, but he seemed to be caught in a distant memory, summarizing his life.
"I lost, but neither to the Holy League, nor to your reformists, nor to those ungrateful guys from the four major elector families..."
Dongfang Wang suddenly gritted his teeth, sometimes complained about himself, and suddenly restrained all expressions on his face, and said without any emotion, "I lost to the three thousand great worlds, I lost to the entire sea of stars, I It is lost to all human beings, all desires and ambitions!
"Hehe, I once thought that I could complete the unfinished hegemony of the Black Star Emperor for thousands of years, integrate the empire of real humans, completely unify the star sea, and unify the entire sea of stars!
"Childish, how could I have such naive thoughts, how could I think of Xinghai and human beings so simply?
"The real human empire, hundreds of great worlds, tens of thousands of resource planets, each world is separated by tens of millions of light years, the living environment and customs are completely different, and each has its own home identity and interests, and even each world There are countless sects within each sect, and each sect has countless immortal cultivators. Every immortal cultivator is planning his own little calculations, intrigues and killing each other. How can it be possible to unite and make them all obey my orders?
"The empire is not a country at all, it's just a mess of sand pretending to be a country, a loose alliance that barely sticks together, and the biggest enemy of everyone in this alliance is the 'allies' around them! Can't see the simple truth?
"It was wasted, so many years of painstaking efforts and even my life were wasted!
"I burned all my will and soul, and completely sacrificed myself to the empire, and what did I get in return?
"Including the Dongfang family, the four major elector families are secretly holding me back, and the local snakes and warlords on the outskirts of the empire ignore my orders or violate them! I want to increase the war tax by 5%. Just dare to add 50%! If I want to control corruption and clean the government, they dare to sit in the office and stare at Jingnao all day long! If I want the warlord troops to advance to the crucial front line, they dare to 'encounter Xinghai The storm wiped out the entire army, so all the starships slipped away. Not only did they not contribute to the front line, they even turned into star robbers, looting wantonly when the troops in the rear were empty, and stabbing their own people!
"Not to mention those profiteers who hoarded odds, shoddy good ones, and made great fortune in wars. I wanted to punish them severely. As a result, everyone in the four major families, including the high-level members of the Dongfang family and even my son, came to intercede for the profiteers. We What can I do? What can I do as the 'iron-blooded prime minister'!
"Even so, even in the face of so many unexpected difficulties and troubles, I still worked hard, overcame obstacles, tried my best to integrate resources, and finally won the Empire Strikes Back! Those on the front line who only know how to fight head-on, reached out to me for starships and Generals of resources, do you know how hard-won this victory is? Do you know how many asses I have wiped for them and how many big problems I have solved!
"I thought that with such a glorious victory, those guys must have nothing to say, and the empire can also reach the peak for the second time under my leadership? I didn't expect, hehe, I didn't expect that I still underestimated After seeing the despicability of these guys, the war is not completely over yet, and you are so anxious to stab me in the back, are you so afraid of me, so anxious to get rid of me, so unwilling to see a powerful empire appear? "
Dongfang Wang is like a poor old man who babbles and babbles.
Li Yao listened silently, not knowing whether to hate or pity the former leader of the cultivators.
In the final analysis, it is impossible for immortal cultivators who advocate the strong to eat the weak and the winner to take all to be united together, nor can they have a leader in the true sense.
The so-called leader is nothing more than a bandit leader who forcibly suppresses all strong men with absolute violence and promises to bring the greatest benefits to all strong men.
For Dongfang Wang, he doesn't even possess "absolute violence", so how can he make all rebellious and selfish immortal cultivators willingly obey him, follow him, and sacrifice for him?
Dongfang Wang may be a true "patriot", his ambition is closely tied to the fate of the human empire, so he really wants to be a prime minister who can make a difference, not like a "silver fox" Like Li Jiande, when he encounters a little difficulty, he quits.
Because of this, Dongfangwang's tragedy was doomed from the very beginning, he was doomed to die for his own ambition, the ambition of all immortal cultivators.
"I get it, I finally get it."
Dongfang Wang hugged the human-shaped package in his arms tightly, and an extremely mocking smile was drawn on the loose corner of his mouth, "I finally understand why even the old 'Emperor' and 'Black Star Emperor' failed to spread to the whole world for a long time. A sea of stars, because the sea of stars encompassing three thousand worlds was not originally something that humans have the ability to unify!
"Human beings are not natural creatures, but creations of gods and demons. We did not naturally spread to the three thousand worlds and gradually adapt to all of them. Instead, we were forcibly spread to the Star Sea by the Pangu and Nuwa civilizations in just a few tens of thousands of years. between.
"Our predecessors were just apes jumping back and forth in the jungle on a certain planet. Even though Pangu and Nuwa injected their genes into us and made us into tools and weapons, our wisdom is still not ready. Good to receive such a huge legacy of 'Three Thousand Worlds'.
"This is a gift we cannot afford, and it is also a disaster that will forever entangle the fate of mankind. Our ambitions are infinitely magnified by the sea of stars, but we don't have enough wisdom and technology to really conquer this... the sea of stars that people love and hate !
"The emperor once wanted to unify the star sea, but his empire suddenly collapsed in just a thousand years; the Black Star Emperor also wanted to unify the star sea, but his empire has become as hopeless as it is today after thousands of years; I thought He could save the empire by himself, and even saw the hope of success, but he didn't expect...it's still like this.
"Perhaps, the Xinghai should never be unified. Splitting into dozens or even hundreds of small countries is the best form of human civilization? But, hehe, these hundreds of small countries will never be content with the status quo. Their leaders will still be devoured by ambition, rub against each other, start a new war, and set off a hundred times more violent war!
"This is the destiny of human civilization. Our 'artificial civilization' is doomed to destroy everything from its birth, including our own. No one can change this fate. I can't, His Majesty the Emperor can't, the four major elector families can't, It's even more impossible for you passionate and simple-minded reformers!"
Dongfang Wang's gaze finally focused on Li Yao, clear enough to recognize Li Yao's identity.
"Even if you can ruin my reputation, let me die without a place to bury me, or even wipe out the four major families, so what if your reformers take control of the empire? This is just the first step in a journey of thousands of miles, an insignificant step!"
Dongfangwang smiled viciously, "Your real enemy is not me at all, not the four major families, but this sea of stars, but the desires and ambitions of all human beings in this sea of stars. You can easily defeat me and the four major families. But don’t even think about defeating the entire star sea, one day, you will end up in the same fate as me, even a hundred times more miserable than me!”
