Chapter 551: Metamorphosis
Yang Ming was quite confused before.
Why did Levi Sherman insist on destroying the portal of the Omnic Twilight after he lost resonance with it? ——The dark pyramid of the planetary size.
From the information provided by Li, Yang Ming got a relatively accurate answer.
For Levi Sherman, the loss of resonance was the beginning of a series of setbacks.
After a few days of frustration, Levi Sherman cheered up and returned to his center of power as if nothing had happened.
He seemed to have forgotten this matter and began to accelerate the construction of the Sherman Empire.
Power has become the best anesthetic.
Compared to the human lifespan in the galaxy, Levi, who is still in his prime, has begun to enjoy the praise of his followers and is no longer afraid to enjoy the power in his hands.
He could easily dispatch a fleet to destroy a small country just because he had his eyes on a few rare minerals in that small country.
He began to consolidate the imperial power that had not yet been formally established step by step, established his own aristocratic system, learned lessons from the demise of the ancient Inca Empire, and optimized the imperial system.
Before Levi set out to find the omnic Twilight, there was a dispute over two routes among this emerging force.
One is the lifelong presidency . Although it is also a dictatorship, it can leave a direction for future reforms to move forward. After all, in the Milky Way, various forms of democratic systems are the mainstream.
The other is a pure imperial system. After all, the main body of this force is inherited from the ancient Inca Empire. As long as the remnants of the ancient Inca Empire are eliminated, the system of the ancient Inca Empire can be inherited openly.
After Levi lost resonance, he chose the second route directly, which was pure imperialism.
The dispute over the route will inevitably cause turmoil in the situation, but the returning Levi shows his tough iron fist.
The Levi who used to occasionally joke with officials is gone, and instead, there is a person in power who sits at the pinnacle of power, always has a gloomy face, and his eyes become increasingly wise and profound.
He began to expand outward crazily, and after annexing the entire ancient Inca Empire , he still let his fleet plunder outward.
What you see is what you conquer.
What you hear is the emperor's order.
Although he has not officially ascended the throne, Levi has already brought all standards up to those of an emperor, especially in terms of sexual resources.
It can be said that the debauchery of the old emperor of the Sherman Empire that Yang Ming witnessed was rooted in Levi.
The old emperors of today will at least use cloning technology to make some tools for their own amusement;
Most of the women that Levi played with were former nobles of the ancient Inca Empire. Just looking at Levi's wives and sisters of the former princesses of the ancient Inca Empire, Levi had gathered seven.
Several scenes focus on the debauchery and indulgence of Levi at that stage.
Until the eve of the establishment of the empire, all this came to an abrupt end.
Three things happened that night.
The first thing was the assassination of the seventh princess.
The women that Levi played with organized an ancient Inca-style attack. Seven ancient Inca princesses, including Levi's original wife, joined forces with dozens of Levi's "trophies" to plan Levi's assassination.
With reasonable full-time monitoring, the assassination would naturally be impossible to succeed.
Of the seven princesses of the ancient Inca Empire, six were killed.
The princess who had accompanied Levi for many years and was the first one Levi officially married was sentenced to life imprisonment for treason.
Levi didn't kill the princess because they had been friends for many years and also because the princess was pregnant with Levi's first child.
The second event happened almost simultaneously with the coup.
After Levi quelled the coup of the women in the harem, a maid hurried over, knelt down at Levi's legs, and told him the bad news.
Levi's mother committed suicide by taking pills.
In the picture, Levi's expression was stunned for a few seconds, and the hilt of the lightsaber fell to the ground.
He ignored his manners and ran towards the palace where his mother lived.
Levi didn't understand why.
Although he locked up his mother because of the incident with his second uncle, he has reached a reconciliation with his mother in recent years.
When his empire was about to be built, when he was about to stand at the pinnacle of power in the galaxy...
In the palace, Levi stared blankly at his mother who had no signs of life, while the medical team beside him could only kneel down with their heads bowed.
Levi just stood by the bed;
He could only stand by the bed, slightly raising his head, trying his best to hold back the tears in his eyes.
His mother was wearing a light white dress and had obviously made detailed preparations before committing suicide.
There was also something written in lipstick by Levi's mother on the makeup mirror. It was a sentence.
'I'm sorry, but I'm not worthy of being the emperor's mother.'
The third thing happened right after that.
Levi's wife suddenly rebelled in the transport airship, snatched the guard's laser gun, and shot herself twice in the abdomen and forehead.
The scene changed and Levi was sitting in the corner of his bedroom.
He seemed to be in an extremely cold wilderness, his body curled up continuously. In the empty bedroom, he let out a cry that sounded like a growl or even crying.
Li stood quietly by, guarding Levi, without saying any words of comfort, just waiting quietly.
She couldn't really say anything.
In order to ensure that the imperial power and the royal power of the new empire are not affected, Levi has consciously excluded the mechanical thinking body legion led by Levi. Levi's mysterious fleet has also become a strategic deterrent force at the bottom of the box. The expeditions currently underway are all human fleets assisted by Levi.
The next morning.
The ceremony of Sherman's empire's founding went on normally.
Levi sat at the management desk with a slightly tired smile on his face throughout the whole process, watching the cheering crowds parading everywhere and the ships slowly passing by in the blue sky.
The name of this scene is also very suitable for the theme.
"cost".
…
"well."
Yang Ming leaned back and forth on the single sofa in the dormitory.
As it happened, no one had turned on the lights yet, so the entire suite was dark, with only the toe indicator light of the dormant mechanical maid in the kitchen next door flickering slightly.
Yang Ming felt inexplicably complicated.
He had already watched sixty percent of the scenes and could continue watching for a long time, but the part where Levi established the Sherman Empire touched him the most.
Even a cruel person like Levi cannot completely let go of the ties of family affection.
Yang Ming suddenly thought that when Levi saw his second uncle and his mother together that day, he might have had some psychological distortion. However, because of Levi's delicate mood at the time and Li was standing by, Levi calmly covered it up.
Levi's feelings for his mother were always very deep.
Since losing resonance with the omnic Twilight, Levi has suffered several blows.
The suicide of his first wife, the death of her unborn child, and the suicide of his mother, these mental blows were transformed by Levi into certain symbols that moved forward and traced back.
Levi attributed these tragedies to the loss of resonance between himself and the omnic Twilight.
Yang Ming continued reading, focusing on the conversation between Levi and Li.
Then Yang Ming discovered that after the establishment of the Sherman Empire, Levi and Li had fewer and fewer conversations, and the two were becoming increasingly distant.
He built a black box as the core of the Sherman Empire Star.
The Imperial Star at that time was not the Imperial Star of today . It was a naturally habitable planet, similar to the Mint Star of the New Federation today. It was the economic and cultural center of the Sherman Empire and had a very strong defense system. Human development of the planet only existed on the surface.
Yang Ming looked carefully and saw six huge star rings under construction.
That is the present-day Yaha Star.
Levi quickly came out of that dark mood. He seemed to have completed hypnosis on himself, transforming from his previous extreme depravity to a positive attitude towards life.
He began to act as a wise ruler, actively expanding and annexing foreign countries, adopting various conciliatory policies internally, and even put forward the argument that "the people are the foundation of the political system", which should not be heard from the emperor of an empire.
Levi planned out the prototype of the Imperial Star Circle;
It took him several years to complete political and military reforms, laying the foundation for the future development of the Sherman Empire.
After ignoring Li for a few years, Levi suddenly started to warm up to Li again.
He founded the Empire Development Religion, which had no real power but was intended to worship reason and make it the spiritual pillar and totem of faith of the empire.
Levi's communication with Li gradually increased.
Li once again built two simulated robots for himself, using the most cutting-edge technology and expending a lot of effort, just to allow himself to have all the physical sensations close to those of humans.
For quite a long time, she became Levi's only woman.
When Levi was forty years old, he came up with a plan.
Build a unified network covering the entire empire.
This plan encountered many difficulties, but under the leadership of Reason, various difficulties were overcome one by one. The networks of hundreds of planets inside and outside the Imperial Star Circle were integrated together, and the delay was reduced to milliseconds.
At that time, it was not possible to perform high-precision operations under such network delays, but all-round communication was possible.
This greatly stimulated the economy of the Sherman Empire, and the economy of the Sherman Empire took off rapidly.
This powerful empire not only possesses the military strength to dominate the entire human civilization of the Milky Way, but also demonstrates great potential.
The theory of the advancement of democratic civilization has been severely challenged, but the online public opinion of various countries has long been infiltrated, the country is full of anti-war thoughts, and the democratic front has never been able to achieve unity.
At this time, a new challenge once again appeared in front of Levi.
The Fayats formally approached Levi.
All of this was clearly recorded from a rational perspective.
The Faya controlled a mechanical guard and quietly appeared beside the sleeping Levi and Li's pillow.
——Although Li’s thinking body is placed in the simulated robot, she has never slacked off in detecting the surrounding environment.
But when she opened her eyes and saw the mechanical guard with her own eyes, she began to doubt herself.
All her precautions were completely ineffective.
This is undoubtedly the simplest and most direct way for the French people to prove their identity.
Dang Li woke Levi up and briefly explained to him the special features of the mechanical guard in front of him. Levi thought for a few seconds and smiled.
"Faya?"
"Yes, lucky Levi."
The mechanical guard issued a synthesized electronic voice:
"I have contacted your mechanical thinking body assistant many times before, but every time she relayed the problem to you, you took the cold approach, which forced me to appear in front of you in this way.
“I hope I didn’t scare you.
"Formally, I am the head of the human civilization political system planning project team in the Milky Way.
"You should already know what the Faya are, but you seem skeptical of the notion that the Faya own the galaxy."
Levi smiled and said, "Well...Excuse me, could you please tell me a little bit about your ownership of the Milky Way?"
The voice of the mechanical guard remained unchanged: "You want us to prove our ownership of the galaxy, right?"
"Hmm," Levi shrugged, "After all, I now have the most powerful fleet in the galaxy."
"Your understanding of higher-dimensional civilization is really shallow."
"No, no, no, I know you are called the First Disaster," Levi said with a smile, "I mean, can you show me your fleet? I have no intention of being hostile to the noble and honorable Faya people, but if you want me to bow down to you with just one or two words, I'm sorry I can't agree to that."
"The ignorance and fearlessness of the lucky ones are bound to make you suffer some pain."
The mechanical guard sighed and bowed slightly to Levi.
“Next, I will demonstrate my power to you in three areas.
“First, I will destroy your twelve resource stars at the same time, using a common disaster method in outer space.
“Second, I will paralyze your entire network for fifteen galactic days without any technical failure.
"Third, apart from your Sherman Empire, the thirty-six most powerful political entities in the Milky Way will form a coalition to attack your new empire. As it happens, we also need some energy supply right now."
A wisp of green smoke emerged from the mechanical guard's head.
Li whispered: "That higher-dimensional mind has left."
Levi whispered: "Will what he said really come true?"
"It is almost certain to happen," Li said, "High-dimensional civilizations have absolute power to suppress us."
Levi pursed his lips tightly, his expression became a little gloomy, but he refused to bow his head easily.
He has to face the warnings of the Fayals and defeat the galactic human civilization coalition organized by the Fayals.
In accordance with the agreement, the Fayals began to launch a dimensionality reduction attack on the Sherman Empire.
The strange cosmic ray burst easily engulfed twelve distant resource stars, but did not destroy the star systems where these resource stars were located;
The Imperial network was paralyzed for fifteen consecutive galactic days, and the Empire was completely helpless and could only maintain the smooth operation of the military network.
Immediately afterwards, the famous "War of Thirty-Six Kingdoms" in the history of human beings in the Milky Way broke out.
The coalition of thirty-six nations launched an all-out war against the Sherman Empire. In the name of democracy and freedom, they wanted to eliminate the evil demon who threatened the entire galaxy.
Yang Ming had seen many details of this war in "The Emperor's Biography".
The result, of course, was that Sherman's Empire won.
Although it was a tragic victory, the Sherman Empire won the founding war.
It was precisely because this war destroyed too many of Sherman's empire's manpower that he was unable to expand outward, and the more than a dozen political systems bordering his territory served as springboards for the coalition forces.
At this time, Levi created the client state system, turning these more than a dozen political systems into a barrier for the Sherman Empire.
After the war, which lasted for five galactic years, ended, the Sherman Empire officially dominated the Milky Way, and also laid the "nominal foundation" for the Sherman Empire's subsequent continuous expeditions outward for a hundred years.
The Sherman Empire expanded and developed rapidly during these expeditions.
Of course, that’s all in the past.
Levi, who defeated the coalition forces of thirty-six nations, looked at the destroyed border of the empire and fell into deep thought again.
At this time, Levi had lost his youthful vigor, arrogance and conceit. He began to listen carefully to Li's introduction to the Faya civilization and left an empty drawer in the corner of his desk.
Levi won the war, but chose to bow to the Fayyads.
But he obviously did not want to submit to the Fayals.
One night, after a passionate love affair, Levi and Li fell asleep in each other's arms on the bed in the palace.
"Reason, I may need to recruit some concubines. I want to have some children to pass on the empire... The ministers have put a lot of pressure on me."
"I understand."
Li, who maintained the image of a mature and gentle older sister, had loving eyes as she nestled in Levi's arms.
"I am your symbiotic mind, we are one, there is no need to explain this to me."
Levi sighed, his eyes looking distant.
"When the empire was first established, I suddenly lost my direction. You know what I went through during that time. Then, many areas of my heart collapsed at the same time, so I pinned everything on this empire.
“But now, when I see the horrific casualty figures, I seem to hear the ghosts of those dead imperial soldiers saying something in my ear.
“I am not a qualified emperor, just as I am not a good person either, but I think I already have a goal to strive for next.
“I want to go to the higher-dimensional world.
"That's where I need to conquer. My starting point is the Milky Way civilization. I got everything too easily, so this is not the meaning of my existence. My meaning should be in the higher-dimensional world. I want to see how the so-called 5.5-level civilization dominates the entire Milky Way.
“I want to be their challenger.
"In addition, I want to prove to the three teachers that the robot Twilight's decision to abandon me was the most wrong one.
"I'm sorry, I have already dispatched a fleet. This fleet has appeared at the entrance of the Omnic Twilight. They brought a large number of meteorites and will build a balanced gravitational field there... I must ensure that no new challengers will challenge me before I achieve my goal."
Li's body was a little stiff.
"We have nothing to do with the Omnic Twilight anymore."
"Yes, dear," Levi kissed her neck gently, "Thank you for accompanying me through the darkest days. This darkness came from my confusion, and now, my world is full of light."
The eighty-eighth scene ends here.
Yang Ming already knew roughly the rest of the story.
Levi got rid of his own desires, but became a slave to his ideals. He tried his best to complete his ideas, but betrayed Reason and locked Reason in the Sherman Empire.
The part that Yang Ming was most interested in was loading slowly at this moment.
Yang Ming was already getting impatient.
He had a premonition that witnessing Levi's high-dimensional journey would definitely have a great impact on his future development.
However, Yang Ming didn’t know whether Li would show him these, and if so, how to present them to him.
