Yi Lexiang doesn't know when creatures like "gods" originated, nor what position they occupy in the entire interstellar civilization as highly developed intelligent creatures in the vast and vast universe, but one thing is undeniable. There is no doubt that they have existed much longer than human beings who only have a history of several thousand years. They far exceed human beings in terms of the evolution of life and the extent of civilization accumulation. In a sense, for primitive human beings In fact, they are worthy of the title of "gods". So how terrifying should their enemies be?
After "reading" the memory in his mind, Yi Lexiang stood silently at the top of the pyramid, overlooking the red ancient city that had been reduced to ruins by time, and remained silent for a long time. If all this is not my own crazy imagination, then the situation is out of the control of "God". With the emergence of the Holy Alliance, the Akashic Secret Society, and the mysterious "Kabbalah", this supposedly godless world has seen the emergence of too many high-ranking "gods" that should not have appeared and are believed in and worshiped by the world. And where do these "gods" that shouldn't appear come from?
A speculation that made him shudder came to mind. Could it be those sealed "evil creatures" causing trouble?
The League of Gods, a religious political system that inherited the teachings of God and was supposed to promote fraternity and selflessness, is transforming into an authoritarian and aggressive religious organization. They preached the oneness of God, and all people and nations who did not believe in their god were considered their enemies. If all these changes were just caused by human beings' own shortcomings, there would be nothing to worry about. But during these thousands of years, "gods" have frequently demonstrated their great power to the world and promoted their existence. Another "god", one or a group of "false gods" openly stole control of the League of Gods that was supposed to be the guardian. He shuddered at the thought that nearly one-third of humanity might have become part of this huge conspiracy and become enemies of their own kind in the near future.
None of this should have happened, but it was extremely real and unfolded before his eyes. How much he hoped that his speculation was wrong, but deep down he knew that this was the most logical reasoning. Everything is just a continuation of the ancient war, but this time there is no real "god" to help mankind.
Yi Lexiang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Humanity has been deceived by a huge conspiracy for thousands of years without knowing it. Maybe he was crazy, Yi Lexiang subconsciously thought. At this time, he really hoped that all his discoveries were just conjectures in his mind. From Mxer to Akasha, from the Holy Alliance to Kabbalah, now illusory gods are also appearing in the world, and of course there are enemies of gods. , everything seemed like a dream, an incredible science fiction novel, and he couldn't help but wonder if even the world he lived in was false.
One conspiracy follows another, one war follows another, seemingly endlessly. He didn't know what incredible things he would encounter in the future, but he already felt physically and mentally exhausted. He has almost forgotten that he is still a young man under thirty years old, an age when the flower of life has just begun to bloom. Looking back at the beginning, he was just an ordinary private, and he was still the "lucky Xiang" that veterans laughed and teased. But a war changed everything. He is growing up, becoming mature day by day, becoming indifferent and indifferent to life. The power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger, and the burden on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, which is overwhelming; his enemies have grown from ordinary military command to The officer has become a famous interstellar general, and every step of his growth has been based on the corpses of others; he once thought that one day he would truly control his own destiny, but to this day, his naive fantasy is still like a flower in the mirror. , like the moon in the water, out of sight and out of reach; he is just a mortal, even if he is indeed a little different, but after all he is just an ordinary member of all living beings. He has never asked himself to bear so many responsibilities. He has never asked himself to bear so many responsibilities. He didn't want to take on the fate of a country or a nation, and he didn't want to get involved in the war between "gods", but he had no choice! In this world, there are his comrades who share life and death with him, his close friends and relatives who love him, and his close relatives who are connected by blood. The only thing he can do is to carry the overwhelming burden and move forward without hesitation.
Outside Jade City, slum, number 223445.
The afterglow of the stars is still shining on the ground line, but dimness has begun to cover the earth early. In the distance, Jade City exudes a luxurious atmosphere that makes people obsessed with it, but here, there are only a few light yellow street lights on the streets with few pedestrians. Hanging on a slightly tilted lamppost, it was swaying in the cold night wind. Occasionally, a floating bus carrying workers after work whizzes past the street, and it will stop at every few intersections. The policemen who get off the bus have dull eyes and are exhausted. After a brief recognition of the direction, they disappear immediately. In the narrow alleyways densely packed like spider webs. ?On the same day, the bustling market fell silent as night fell, and the dilapidated grocery stores on both sides of the street also dropped their solid steel display windows. Before the brilliance of the stars completely faded away, the streets of the slums were already empty of people. , only the cold wind mixed with the cold night air wandered around the empty streets unbridled, admiring the kingdom that belonged to them at the moment.
A figure came closer from far away, and the swaying figure was stretched extremely long by the swaying street lamp. Yi Lexiang looked around curiously. He had never seen such a desolate and miserable residential area. Even on a planet occupied by the Empire, the life of the enslaved Charno people would be thousands of times better than here. With the memory of God, leaving the underground city did not consume much energy on his part, but leaving the underground exit and staying away from Jade City, avoiding the patrol airships of the Divine Alliance along the way, took a lot of effort on his part. It wasn't until night enveloped the earth that he came to the slum where Yatian and the old president were hiding. As soon as he entered the slum, he felt familiar energy fluctuations not far away. He looked up and saw that it was a crumbling, uninhabited and abandoned two-story simple board house. He waved his hand and said a few words The black shadow ran out silently through the darkness. Before the black shadow could reach him, he heard several deliberately suppressed but full of surprise calls, "General!" "General, are you okay?"
"Is everyone safe?" he asked with a smile.
"Yeah! Everything's fine!" Several mecha war gods surrounded Yi Lexiang and walked towards the simple wooden house where he was hiding. During the day, they, these fresh faces, always deliberately kept a low profile to avoid being discovered by the poor. In order to obtain food and other necessities of life, the poor will sell everything, even their souls. However, they can't care about anything at the moment. The general's safe return seems to have brought back their confidence. As long as the general is here, they have nothing to fear!
Xin Qiang was still pacing back and forth in the room anxiously. If he hadn't lost his mecha and Chen Yatian was restraining him, he might have led his men out to look for the general. Even if he is killed by the people of the Divine Alliance, it is better than waiting helplessly at this moment. This is simply an unbearable torture for him. Chen Yatian was sitting in a corner of the room, discussing various routes to leave the planet Gesar with the old president. During the day, the secret society's soldiers had secretly contacted the commander of the secret society's armed forces who were allowed to land this time. How could they board the aircraft docked at the airport under the eyes of the closely guarded Shen League soldiers without anyone noticing? Starships became a problem. Although Chen Yatian still looked calm, Mi Zhiqing, who was sitting opposite him, noticed that his eyes were always inadvertently aimed at the tightly closed door, as if expecting some kind of miracle to happen.
"You definitely won't be able to fight head-on," Chen Yatian said, touching his stubble-covered chin. "The people of the Shenmen League are not fools either. They have arranged three knight groups around the airport, trying to hide so much from their eyes and ears. It's too difficult for people to sneak onto a starship." He sighed.
"It's all nonsense!" Xin Qiang turned around and walked to the side of the two of them. Hearing Chen Yatian's words, he couldn't help snoring, and then wailed again, "If the general is here, he will definitely do something. I think we should think more about how to find the general."
Chen Yatian glared at Xin Qiang hatefully, "No one will think you are mute if you don't speak." He was not much better than Xin Qiang. At this moment, his mind was filled with worries about the missing Yi Lexiang, and he was distracted. Ning, I can't think of any constructive suggestions at all.
Mi Zhiqing smiled bitterly and looked at the two bickering people. Without Yi Lexiang, this army seemed to have lost its spirituality. Everyone was restless, anxious and bored. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something and looked at the door in shock. Mi Zhiqing's reaction immediately aroused the vigilance of other people in the room. Several secret society soldiers stood up quietly and quickly stood by the door. The Charno soldiers who had not been listless before also hid in the shadows of the room and looked at each other. He stared at the silent door warily.
There were gentle knocks on the door, three long and two short, and the crisp knocks echoed in the dim room. The surprise on Mi Zhiqing's face turned into a smile of relief. He stroked his beard and waited for the door to open. He knew that the man who worried everyone was finally back safely.
When the door opened, when the familiar face with a warm smile appeared in front of everyone, Mi Zhiqing seemed to feel that the whole room seemed to be much brighter, and the depressed and low atmosphere was swept away, and even Even the secret warriors had a relieved smile on their faces. This is the power of leadership. he thought to himself. His eyes glanced over Yi Lexiang's young face. It seemed that after a short separation, this young man had become much more mature. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth released a reassuring smile, but he couldn't help but feel that he had lost his temper. Feeling a sense of exhaustion and deep-seated worry, what happened? Mi Zhiqing felt suspicious in her heart.
