Chapter 1019 The Final Test!
Just as Neos successfully completed the first step of his evolution, all the forces in the universe acted quickly like chess pieces on a chessboard, and launched a complex layout and competition with each other.
Duncan finally returned to Arrax after many hardships.
He calmly told everyone about Jessica's detailed plan to train Farrakhan, but Alia had no time to blame or manage his behavior of acting first and then asking for permission.
After all, Alia had been overwhelmed by various troubles in recent months.
Shocking news came to her ears like snowflakes:
More and more people stood up to openly oppose Muaddi and the religion he represented, and oppose the rule of Leto II;
There are even more people who wantonly destroyed those vital aqueducts, causing severe damage to the water conservancy system on which the empire depends for survival.
These actions are like a raging torrent, impacting the traditions and beliefs that the empire has long adhered to, gradually bringing it to the brink of total collapse.
Leto II's reign was in jeopardy as events unfolded.
The battle between the rebels and the royal army continued, and the situation became increasingly complicated and confusing.
All kinds of bizarre and absurd rumors were rampant, which made people stunned.
Some claimed that giant sandworms would jump into the drinking water areas that once belonged to humans, and each piece of their body would quickly grow into a new sand trout.
Even more bizarrely, it was said that Moon 2 would suddenly drip red blood, which fell like a torrential rain on Arrax, causing a terrible sandstorm that covered the sky.
However, the most outrageous of all these rumors was the report submitted by Muritz.
According to him, a child named Neos jumped from a towering cliff in an incredible way.
Then, the child jumped from one dune to another as if he had magical powers, and finally miraculously crossed the desert of Arrakis alive!
However, after learning from Ghanima that Neos had passed away, who was this child?
At the same time, the person in charge of monitoring Gonnie died unexpectedly, and the murderer was Gonnie himself!
Obviously, Gonnie had already noticed the spy that Alia had planted beside him.
So, where is Gonnie going now?
This series of events that followed one after another were intertwined like a mess, making the two people feel extremely anxious and confused.
Faced with such a complicated situation, they were simply at a loss and overwhelmed.
Fortunately, there was a glimmer of comfort that could give them some solace, that is, the report from Farrakhan.
According to him, he will send a family guard in the next few days to help Alia solve the many difficulties in front of her, and at the same time make full preparations for the upcoming formal engagement.
That's right, in order to further consolidate his ruling position, Leto II had no choice but to promote the remarriage between the Atreides and the Correon families.
This marriage will be between Farakon and Ghanima, the eldest daughter of the Atreides.
Originally, according to Arlia's original idea, as long as they successfully abducted Jessica to the Correon family's base in Secundus, they would be able to command many nobles of the empire to work together to eradicate the Correon family.
However, the development of the situation far exceeded Arlia's expectations...
On the distant planet Secundus, almost every resident there is a devout believer in the blood god Khorne.
This shocking news was passed back to Arlia and Leto II by Jessica.
After learning this information, they were shocked to realize that Secundus has now become a gathering place for a group of crazy warmongers.
The powerful force gathered there is even far greater than Paul's Fremen death squad that frightened the enemy back then.
Faced with such a severe situation, the Atreides family had to admit that they were no longer able to openly declare war on the powerful Corrino family.
Back then, the Atreides family relied on the powerful Fremen army to seize the throne from the emperor.
Now the two poles have reversed. The Corrino family has a more powerful army than the Atreides family. Now, the Atreides family has no power to restrain the Corrino family except for the righteousness.
Fortunately, Farakn, the heir of the Corrino family, is a different Corrino.
He is not only an outstanding philosopher and thinker, but also has no interest in the various political knowledge and conspiracy methods instilled in him by his family and his mother.
On the contrary, he is deeply attracted to Paul and the magnificent stories that happened on the planet Arrakis, which makes him fascinated.
The only heir of the Corrino family: Farakn, is actually Paul's fanboy and a natural Atreides party member. It can only be said that this world is really full of drama.
In this regard, the Corino family also chose to agree to the marriage request, because with the death of Neos, Gannima became the first heir.
In this case, if the two sides rashly go to war, they will end up with a lose-lose situation;
However, if they choose to marry, it will undoubtedly achieve a win-win situation.
Whether it is for the Atreides family or the Corino family, for such an outstanding politician, the choice is naturally clear.
……
……
At the same time, in the depths of the Arrakis Desert, Neos experienced a long period of growth and transformation.
Once, the fine hairs of the sand trout only gently covered the surface of his body, but as time went on, these hairs actually began to directly pierce his flesh!
This means that at this moment, Neos has completely escaped from the category of human beings and has become an unprecedented new life form, a creature that will continue to evolve itself in countless eras.
This also means that the originally fine foresight thread, after continuous winding and tightening, gradually becomes extremely thick, and finally turns into an indestructible and incomparable rope.
However, on this road to the unknown, there is one last severe test waiting for it.
This test is crucial, and its result will directly affect the future destiny of the entire human race.
At this time, Neos has successfully condensed his own divine essence.
But if he desires to truly grow into an existence that can compete with his father, then obtaining the honor of the first level of the main god has become a top priority.
So, Neos chose to enter a state of meditation again, allowing his mind to completely immerse in the mysterious subspace...
