Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin): The road to the future at the end of the book

For the people living in the lower city and the middle city, ordinary people would have shortness of breath when they get close, and the dizzy upper city is an unattainable forbidden place.

Only sublimators, those truly big figures, can walk freely in the area completely surrounded by the force field of the imperial capital.

As everyone knows, there is still an upper city above the upper city.

Above the upper city, where even the visions of strong fourth-level powerhouses can be suppressed, there is a steep and isolated mountain. The force field generated by steel and unknown biological structures forms a crater-like structure. , the invisible force field shield went straight to the sky from here, protecting the entire central great plain area centered on the imperial capital.

And just around the mouth of the force field, a huge rock and iron palace stands on the edge, but in terms of appearance, it is not so much a palace as a high platform.

From this high platform, one can overlook the entire central plain, and behind it is the force field beam of the imperial capital that goes straight into the void.

If that majesty hadn't disappeared to carry out his unknown and mysterious plan, he would have stayed here most of the time. The palace in the upper city was just an office, and he never stayed there for long. Pass.

He even hated that too-similar palace.

Mikael stepped up to the high platform step by step. The material of the high platform is neither metal nor rock. It has certain biological characteristics, but it is as hard as steel. The color is pure white, without a trace of impurities.

Although the light liquid covering the high platform seems to be one, it is actually composed of countless independent light bands. The sphere of light that resembles a child with human eyes rotates, staring in the direction of Mikhail.

In the center of the light liquid, on the top of the high platform, stood a tall and burly figure staring at the sky alone.

The second sun hanging in the sky, the one who sits on the top of the blazing light, the emperor of the Central Empire, Axel the guardian of the land.

And...the son of the black tyrant, the heir to the greatest inheritance of Yin Naijia II, and the tyrant of the Yi tribe.

Mikael stared at his father's back, he knew very well that compared to his grandfather's name as a tyrant, his father was the real murderous tyrant.

Grandfather's whole life, even against the biggest opponent and rebel, was nothing more than killing himself and exiling the family. The old Grand Duke Sorin intended to rebel, but he was just killing the first offender, and even accepted this generation of Sorin Grand Duke Split as a disciple, and promised him that 'if this country dissatisfies you, you can choose the road of independence again'.

As for my own father, even if you don't count the brothers and sisters who were beheaded before and after the succession, just those aristocratic families that were eliminated after the succession, the self-righteous people who thought they could get more benefits from the new emperor, the number is countless Ten times as much as my grandfather.

The only difference is that the father corrected the grandfather's soft-hearted weakness, he would kill them all if he wanted to, and never leave even a single survivor.

In this way, no one will reiterate his father's cruelty many years later, and all the eliminated nobles will be forgotten, leaving only a simple stroke in the history books.

As for the heirs of the inheritance, this is the case. The laws and regulations of the empire seem to have been improved a lot, but in fact, they are not much different from their grandfather's time, and at most they have some Axel characteristics.

This is the key to the gradual prosperity of the empire again.

Axel didn't care about the person behind him. A large cloud-like cloud of golden-white light particles flowed beside him. These light particles rotated, danced, and then condensed into human figures one after another. Showing a translucent state, he bowed humbly to his father and reported many events and information.

There is a figure Mikael is very familiar with, and that is Moze, the dean of the Academy of Gnosis.

"So, is it theoretically possible?" Mikael heard his father say this.

[Yes, Your Majesty. ] Dean Moze bowed, and he answered seriously: [But the people of the empire need an enemy, so that they can unite as one, just a flying flame is not enough]

[The empire has never been unified in essence. There are too many different races and regional customs within us. Culture and nationality cannot be a bridge of unity. Except for the same emperor, everyone looks up at the same sun In addition, we are never a whole]

Dean Moze said some words that Mikhail couldn't understand. He knew that the second prince was beside him, but he said without hesitation: [We need a more distinct, more three-dimensional, and more powerful enemy...not like this If not, we cannot reach a consensus]

"It's really difficult for a living person. No wonder Splitter insists on letting people die." The emperor whispered, he raised his hand, and motioned for Mikael to sit aside: "A natural disaster should be fine. The one predicted by the Hall of Souls."

The emperor's voice was weak, with a little fatigue: "Or should we add the royal court of heaven? It is not impossible to fight on two fronts."

[No, Your Majesty]

Dean Mo Ze shook his head and said: [Those who hate Feiyandi and Heavenly Royal Court are not a group of people, they cannot reach a consensus. On the contrary, the disaster of light predicted by the Hall of Souls has potential, but it is a disaster for everyone in the entire continent, and the people of the empire cannot feel that they are special]

[If it's not special, they won't be able to muster up the courage]

"...Compared to technology, people themselves are the most troublesome. How can we teach this group of foolish people the principle of unity?"

The tall man's tone paused, and he waved his hand: "Back off."

[Yes, Your Majesty]

The hazy translucent figure made of light particles dissipated, and the emperor turned his head to look at Mikael.

"Good afternoon, Father," said Mikael.

"Be direct." The emperor said, "I never taught you to be polite to me."

"Why sit back and watch Split succeed." Mikael said, "Or is this still part of your plan?"

"He didn't go somewhere I don't know." The emperor's tone was flat. He raised his head and continued to stare at the beam of light. Less than two minutes."

"Just as if you were prepared." Mikael said in his heart. Sure enough, he continued to ask: "My brother didn't go to repair the atmosphere at all. The head of the guard did it for him. What did you send him to do?"

"A boring question." The emperor said: "Do we need to repair Terra's atmosphere? The four-story ladder is not broken. You can regenerate the atmosphere even if you lift it up. Carlos has gone to Dragon Island. "

"That's why you weren't there just now, otherwise you would have to go to the Holy Mountain. Frost Trace went instead of you."

"What exactly are you going to do?" Mikael couldn't understand. He just didn't know what his father was going to do these days, so he came to ask directly.

Axel was his father after all, and he would indeed answer that question.

The tall man moved his eyes away from the light beam of the imperial force field shield, and only then did he really turn his head and look at his son seriously.

"Mikael."

The emperor said: "The Fudo Castle has appeared again."

Mikael's eyes widened.

But before he could say anything, Axel looked away again.

At this moment, the emperor overlooked the lower city of the imperial capital under the high platform and the vast plain in the distance. His tone was calm: "Split has seen Hilliard's successor. That is a young knight, probably The capital of learning, or the people of gold in the western region."

"He calls himself Glen, and his name is Mahdi. His sword is Hilliard's, but it is no longer a sword embryo, but a real sword... He probably already has a third ability. Level strength. Well, generally speaking, he is almost as talented as Mr. Hilliard back then."

"Mahdi?" There was so much information that Mikael didn't know what to say for a while: "How could I not have discovered...the name..."

"Of course it's a fake name. Even other things may be fake, but the strength is not." The emperor shook his head.

He sighed: "It's time for an alternation. Those who experienced the turmoil of the dark moon were almost dead, but their successors appeared one after another. It's another turbulent era."

"Are you asking about my purpose? My purpose has always been simple. In other words, on this land, people who still have ambitions and dreams have the same purpose."

"I want to change the world."

"Who wouldn't?"

Mikael wanted to laugh a little. This answer cannot be said to be serious, but it is the same as not saying: "Because of this, none of you can change the world."

"Yeah."

The emperor did not evade this point: "When you become an emperor, you will know how unfree you are. There is no difference between a sublimated person and an ordinary person, even the top seat of the fifth energy level."

Speaking of which, he paused for a while, and then waved: "Let's step back, there will be a big meeting to be held later. I will continue to work."

Mikael withdrew.

When he came here this time, what he really wanted to ask was why he allowed Grand Duke Sorin to advance to the fifth energy level. He had already confirmed that Grand Duke Sorin had mastered a special kind of energy after the Avak incident. The advanced method was told to Axel.

But after hearing Minister Moser's words, he understood that there would be no answer to this question.

Because my father just wanted to create an opponent.

The Flying Flame Land and the Royal Court of Heaven are not enough, let alone a mere Grand Duke Sorin?

He doesn't care about these trivial things at all.

"The fifth energy level is all crazy."

Going down from the high platform, Mikael slowly walked back to the upper city.

Axel almost never hides his actions from his children, that is, himself and others, but no one can understand what he is going to do.

For example, taking advantage of the momentum of Grand Duke Sorin's advancement to the fifth energy level, all the leaders and main members of the empire's major mountain forces were called to the imperial capital... This is not a way of working together at all, these guys Get together, even if you obey Axel's authority on the surface, you will never really join hands.

Mikael did not understand this. Separating these sublimated people is a way to ensure order. Otherwise, these strong-willed, stubborn, and truly powerful guys can cause as much trouble as they want.

A group of guys who have different opinions and cannot be persuaded by words are themselves the source of turmoil.

They stay in the imperial capital for a few days, and the imperial capital will fall into chaos for a few days. Mikael can already think of the chaos in the upper city of the imperial capital for a while-only the people of Governor Baiji and the Duke of Dong will fight openly and secretly Out of brains, not to mention how many years of entanglement in the northwest.

They themselves don't know how to fight, but their heirs, the forces under their command, will start street duels at that time, suppress each other, and use their political power to attack the enemy.

Damn quagmire, this group of people are good at fighting in the mud, just thinking about it makes my brain hurt.

At this moment, Mikael couldn't help thinking of Yin En again. That kid ran really fast. He probably wanted to leave when he saw the nobles and big figures from all walks of life, Qihui Imperial Capital, right? He must have guessed how troublesome it would be if there were so many big figures in the imperial capital. With his genius, if several nobles from different forces went to the banquet, which one should he go to? Who do you want to offend for no reason?

A self-righteous smart person will feel that he can have both sides, and the real smart person has already run away.

It's really the right choice.

If Mikael is not the second prince, and he has a goal that cannot be avoided if he wants to achieve it, he also wants to run away.

"It comes down to it."

Close your eyes, the blond prince smiled wryly: "I'm not suitable for standing on the top of a mountain."

No matter what Mikael thinks, time is ticking and things are developing.

The Imperial Capital Conference took place on October 8, 773. All the participants thought that the key point was how to deal with Grand Duke Sorin's advancement to the fifth energy level, and how to deal with the core area of ​​the Grand Duke's territory that has become foggy. But I never thought that this topic was just a few words in a hurry at the beginning, and then no one brought it up again.

With the official full-scale confrontation between the empire and Feiyandi, and the fact that King Tianhong was forced to accept the sanctions from the four orthodox religions, he was restricted from participating in the war in Tianhongdi, and the empire gained a considerable advantage in terms of public opinion and strength According to this point, under the guidance of Emperor Axel, all the nobles of the empire will work together to support the Southwest Military Region and cooperate with the next major operation in the direction of the Flame Land.

In this regard, many nobles were confused, so they thought that the ambitious emperor wanted to open two fronts and face the two bloodlines of Nemathus and Absalom at the same time. This guess is not wrong, but the facts will definitely be beyond their expectations.

The appearance of Canaan Moor's special envoy brought the meeting to a climax.

[The Setar Empire and the Canaan Moore Federation will form a strategic alliance, respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and will reach more than a dozen strategic cooperation projects]

[The first one is that the sublimators of both sides join hands to open a mouth on the Faft Mountains, so that the sea breeze from the Southern Eternal Ocean can pass directly to the wilderness in the southeast of the empire, and the empire is about to launch a large-scale wasteland afforestation campaign , open up a brand new residential area, and open up a land trade route directly to Canaan Moore]

This is the largest terraforming project on Terra since the 1960s.

In addition, on the first day of the Great Conference, Emperor Axel of the Empire also determined the strategy for the development of the Empire during the war against Flamingo.

The meeting passed a proposal to reorganize the Aerospace Forces, with aerospace armor as the mainstay and mobile fortresses as the supplement. The emperor concurrently. At the same time, the low-altitude flight modification of part of the army's armor was confirmed. The army is not just a simple land army, but a comprehensive and comprehensive armored force.

There are still six days left in the big conference room, but the news on the first day alone has shocked the imperial capital and even the entire empire. In particular, the strategic alliance between the empire and the Canaan Moore Federation surprised allies.

At the same time.

Mountain.

Downtown.

The white-haired boy didn't take the alchemy train or a car, but rode an ordinary white horse, humming a little tune, and walked in the sunset and wind.

The convoy of materials loaded with armor and food, as well as the hired manpower, cannot be prepared within two days. Boyi Workshop has arranged these things, with nearly fifty skilled craftsmen and a convoy equipped with various construction tools Will arrive at Nauman City within a week or two of Yin's arrival at South Ridge.

Hua An and Shuang Die went through the channel of Goblin Township. After all, if the goblin wants to go all out, don’t go too fast. The Ridge Township area has changed, so separate walks in order.

According to the channel of Boyi Workshop, the current situation in Nanling is not good. Although the main pressure of Feiyan Land is in the west, there is no fortress in Nanling. As long as the enemy is willing to pay the price, it will definitely It can send people to Nanling.

They encouraged many natives and mountain people to rebel against the rule of the empire. Although the trade nodes centered on Nauman City, Three Rivers City, and Harrison Port were not disturbed, the large autonomous regions in the west of Nanling had fallen into chaos.

Apparently something went wrong with the Dragon Worship Sect. Ever since the King of the Mountain took Xiou away, Yin En has not received any news from the South Ridge Dragon Worship Sect including Elder Man Ya—they wanted to Either they are in big trouble, or they are so busy that they have no time to communicate with others.

In general, I'm afraid Yin En won't be able to get the help of Dragon Worship Cult so quickly.

It's a small thing though.

Although it sounds cruel to say it, the more chaotic Nanling is, the more room Yin En has to play.

If everyone lives happily, with no enemies and no turmoil, then who can change the world, and who will change the world?

What's more, if there is no chaos, how can he hide his actions?

It's like when the imperial capital was in chaos, no one cared about a mere white alchemist leaving this ancient city.

The sound of the rumbling train sounded, and the bright headlights lit up from a distance, and then they came swiftly, and fell behind the young man.

There, the fortified city, towering as a mountain, was still shrouded in light, as if burning. In the largest country in the Terra Continent, almost all the noble leaders have come here, and the curtain of the era is slowly opening here.

But this is not his stage.

The boy was about to go to his stage.

The sun is setting now, and the night is coming, but the dawn will come too.

Yin En is now in the dark night, but he is looking forward to the moment when the dawn will light up.

The moonlight has begun to slowly light up at the other end of the sky, and a few inconspicuous stars appear in the half-white night.

——Prisoner Star Prison imprisoned the sky and the galaxy, making the distance a boundary and the unknown a limit.

—But that's not to despair.

Raising his head, looking up at the pitch-black sky high above, Yin En no longer feared.

The young man showed a smile: "At least I already know the problem, I already know what took away the stars."

—The next thing to do is to solve it.

Thinking of this, Yin En drove the horse and sang a light tune softly: "Ride my horse and gallop on the old roads of this old city~"

"I will never give up until I am exhausted~"

As night fell, the cool autumn wind blew, making the long grass on both sides of the road sway.

The clouds covered the moonlight, and the figure of the Bai Zhimin youth disappeared into the darkness.

But still can clearly hear the hooves of the horses, all the way forward.

He is still moving forward, walking in the dark, the only way he has to go.

He is Yin En.

The one who breaks the old world and recasts the new world will eventually go to the sky.

He wants to ride his horse and gallop straight into the future.

Never give up even when you are exhausted.
