Chapter 331 The Death of the Sun King
Ji Xinghuo saw the news while practicing.
Almost immediately, news channels, social platforms, and media in all countries around the world reported the news and quoted the official title of the American Federation.
"Obituary: The 'Sun King' has passed away."
The subtitle is: Chris Hollinger died at home today at the age of 118 (2108-2226).
"Ah?"
When Ji Xinghuo saw the title, he thought he had read it wrong and immediately put down the barbell. The teacher who was in class was also shocked and immediately opened the government website of the American Federation to see the content of the obituary.
"The Sun King is really dead!" Ji Xinghuo was unbelievable at first.
Then he was not surprised.
Because in the past few years, there have been rumors every few months that the Sun King is going to die, but later they were all proved to be rumors by him.
Until this time, it was finally true.
The first king of the sky, the most powerful alien in human history, his death is naturally a major event that shocked the world.
Moreover, the Sun King is not an ordinary king. He is the guardian of the American Federation, the symbol of the country, the embodiment of freedom and power. To some extent, the Sun King is the god in the eyes of the American Federation!
The Sun King has no official title, but he is the most important political figure in the American Federation, and his influence far exceeds that of the president.
His every move and every word have a profound impact on the American Federation government.
Especially after entering the 23rd century, the Asia-Pacific Community has begun to surpass the American Federation in terms of both the overall national strength and the individual strength of the aliens, and has opened up a gap and has an overall advantage.
Only the Sun King, the undisputed strongest person on earth, seems to be in the same tier as the second and third kings, but in fact, he has stabilized the other two kings and maintained the confidence of the American Federation.
The Sun King is the stabilizing force of the American Federation against the Asia-Pacific Community.
However, the Sun King has a huge flaw.
He will die!
And it is a natural death.
Although it sounds incredible, just like a god will bleed, a king with a lifespan of at least 300 years has lived shorter than the legend, but this is the fact, and it happened for the second time.
"Sun King" is more like a title, representing the invincible power of the earth, but it does not refer to a specific alien.
Including the one who died today, there have been two Sun Kings in history.
The first one was named "Henry Starville", born in 2024, promoted to Heavenly King in 2077, showed strong power in the Third World War, called himself "Sun King", and later led the establishment of the American Federation in 2091.
In 2138 of the last century, the Sun King died suddenly.
Just like today.
However, the Sun King himself died, but his power did not disappear, but was completely transferred to another alien.
That person inherited all the star power and superpowers of the Sun King. In a very short period of time, he evolved continuously, jumped from a super alien to the Heavenly King, and re-ranked the first on the Heavenly King list to become the new Sun King.
His name is Chris Holling, the second generation Sun King.
Then he died today.
The first generation Sun King lived for 116 years, and the second generation Sun King lived for 118 years, with a very small difference.
Why the Sun King's life span is so short, not even as good as the legend, has been a matter of debate for many years.
The American Federation never officially responded.
The Sun King himself has never revealed any secrets.
Countless people around the world have made various speculations, and the most convincing one is that this is caused by a unique superpower.
Before the first generation of the Sun King came out of nowhere, he was unknown. In just a few years, he mastered the power to dominate the world.
But his career template and superpowers are not surprising.
At first, he was just "Iron Guard" and "Flying Step", with a steel-like body and super-fast speed.
But his star power is extremely strong, far beyond the conventional scope.
At the same time, many people with high-quality superpowers and stronger career templates were defeated in front of the Sun King, and they were not opponents of the same level at all.
At that time, some people speculated that the Sun King had integrated a very powerful and special superpower, but this superpower had a price, which would shorten his lifespan, or evolution could not extend his lifespan, and he could only live to the theoretical lifespan limit of ordinary people.
The sudden death of the first generation of the Sun King also triggered a great global political turmoil at the time.
It was not until the second generation of the Sun King returned that people knew that power would be passed on.
Moreover, the new Sun King is stronger than the previous generation!
When he evolves, he can get the opportunity to fuse with alien species again and advance to more career templates.
The second generation of the Sun King also practiced "Flame Madness" and other super powers.
The trend of the global aliens is that there are talented people in every generation. In general, the new generation of aliens will be stronger than the previous generation of aliens because of more comprehensive research on alien powers and more resources, supplemented by scientific and technological training methods, and will be more powerful than the previous generation of aliens, showing a trend of catching up from behind.
This is supported by statistical data on the Legend List and the Ladder.
However, since the day the Sun King came out, he has always suppressed the world, and the title of the strongest human has never been shaken.
Even the Iron Emperor and the Head of State have a clear gap with the Sun King and cannot be shaken at all.
This is the advantage brought by the iteration of the Sun King.
These are just guesses. So far, no one knows the real reason except the Sun King himself.
It is said that even the American Federal Government is unaware of it, so it cannot be answered.
A few years ago, the second generation Sun King was over 110 years old, and some people speculated that he might die, just like the previous generation Sun King, but no one dared to ask him about it in person.
Every time there was a rumor of death, the Sun King would make a public appearance.
This time, he couldn't refute the rumor.
Ji Xinghuo carefully read the obituary of the American Federation, which mainly reviewed the life of Chris Hollingch, affirmed his contribution to the country, and would hold a grand state funeral for him in the capital St. Louis two days later.
The last sentence of the official press release mentioned that before Chris Hollingch died, a new Sun King had been selected.
At the funeral of the late Sun King, the third generation Sun King would make his first appearance.
"Another iteration." Ji Xinghuo whispered.
If the guess is correct, the power of the Sun King will be greatly enhanced again in this iteration, and the previous generation of the Sun King was already the third stage of the King of Heaven, the peak of the rank. Could it be that he would break through the sixth rank and be promoted to the Shepherd Star Saint?
Thinking of this, Ji Xinghuo's heart tightened.
As a citizen of the Asia-Pacific Community and an enemy of the American Federation in the global hegemony, this is definitely bad news that cannot be worse.
The Star Shepherd Saint can suppress an entire planet with one hand, and no matter how many kings can stop him.
The best result is to use nuclear weapons to hurt both sides.
Whether from the perspective of the Asia-Pacific Community or from the perspective of all mankind, the advancement of the Sun King to the Star Shepherd Saint will cause intense turmoil.
The future of the earth has become confusing.
Ji Xinghuo immediately stopped practicing and walked out of the ether energy room. As soon as he entered the lounge, he saw that it was full of legends. Everyone's face was very solemn, watching the news of the death of the Sun King playing on the big screen on the wall.
The Internet also exploded.
From the first to the tenth hot search list, all are related to the Sun King.
Countless people are discussing the death and iteration of the Sun King, and what impact it will have on the global pattern.
In addition, the most enthusiastic is to guess which "chosen son" will be the new Sun King.
From a super alien, to the strongest in the world.
It may not be a super alien, after all, it has only been iterated once before, and it may also be an alien of other ranks, and some people even speculate that it may be an ordinary person.
At this time, two kings came out.
They all practiced here today. One is a young man who looks only about 30 years old. His handsome face is full of cold and murderous aura. He is wearing a military uniform and the star on his shoulder is shining. He is the "Champion Marquis" Huo Keji.
The other is "Master Chaofeng" Luo Yimeng, the tenth on the King List, the most powerful imperial master, and the president of the Global Imperial Master Association.
The legends in the lounge stood up and saluted the two kings.
Unlike Li Xuan, these two kings are not only powerful, but also hold great power or are highly respected.
Huo Keji nodded slightly to everyone.
Then his eyes fell on Ji Xinghuo and said, "Xinghuo."
"General Huo." Ji Xinghuo responded.
The legends around were all surprised when they saw this scene. Ji Xinghuo seemed to be very familiar with General Huo.
Although Luo Yimeng did not speak, she obviously admired Ji Xinghuo very much. She nodded to Ji Xinghuo and smiled kindly.
"Come with us." Hawke said.
Ji Xinghuo was startled and guessed that the head of state had summoned everyone to discuss the matter of the Sun King. He did not speak, but followed the two kings out of the lounge silently and got on a military flying car parked outside.
The flying car took off immediately after leaving the parking lot and flew towards the head of state's palace not far away.
The three people in the car did not speak.
Soon, Ji Xinghuo entered the head of state's palace again, came to the administrative building representing the highest power center of the country, walked into a meeting room guarded by the Titanium Cobalt Dragons, and saw the head of state sitting in the chairman's seat.
"Head of state." The three saluted respectfully.
Ji Daosheng nodded lightly, with no expression on his face, and said, "Sit down first."
There were more than 20 chairs on both sides of the oval conference table, without names, and Ji Xinghuo sat down casually in the seat closest to him.
A few minutes later, people arrived one after another.
In addition to "our own people", there were also senior government officials and military generals, almost filling up the conference room. Some people did not have time to rush back to Chang'an, so they could only participate in the meeting online, forming a projection at their positions.
"Everyone is here, let's get started."
Ji Daosheng knocked on the table and said straight to the point: "Today, I have urgently summoned you all, and there is only one topic. You should all know that the Sun King in the United States has died and the second iteration has occurred."
"Our intelligence personnel have obtained the information of the third generation of the Sun King."
"You can take a look first."
After Ji Daosheng finished speaking, a document was displayed on the screen in front of everyone. The most eye-catching one was a portrait photo of a blond and blue-eyed man who looked less than 30 years old.
He was not particularly handsome, with a high nose and deep eyes. He was a typical white male with a standard smile showing eight teeth on his face.
According to the information, his name was "John Anthony".
