398. Gurbatov
Gurbatov, the emperor of the empire, his body is incomparably majestic, although he is a standard human, he is more than three meters tall, even if he sits on the throne from a distance, he can make people feel unparalleled oppression.
It is precisely because Gurbatov is a giant that the first administrative star of the empire under his feet is naturally named the Giant Star. Of course, in a sense, the Giants do live up to its name, as it has a diameter of 36,000 kilometers, making it almost the largest of all habitable gem-quality planets.
The mass of a planet determines its gravitational force, and the reason why the giant star can have such an amazing volume without hindering the normal life of human beings is that its density is very small, small enough to be suitable for human survival.
There are hardly any rivers on the surface of the giant, let alone the ocean, and its land area is almost 90 percent, with only large and small hoops dotted around the planet, providing the necessary water for the flora and fauna of the planet. Outwardly, it is somewhat similar to Braleva, except that the ratio between land and water is larger.
But unlike Braleva, the core of the Giant's star is extremely loose, and it is full of fine liquid water droplets, which look like a large cloud of water vapor suspended in the air. (Note)
Intuitively speaking, the giant star can be seen as a huge cloud of water vapor wrapped in clay, which forms the core of the planet, and then gushes out through the pores of the earth's crust, forming one beautiful hubo after another, looking from space, like countless sparkling sapphires.
Of course, this is the previous giant star.
Ever since Gurbatov threw the corpse onto the planetary circle and forcibly used the human corpse to create a super planetary ring ice queen to block out the sun, these sapphires, which symbolize the source of life, have all been frozen and turned into pieces of cold white ice, just as cold as the heart of their owner, Gurbatov.
Compared to the outside of the star, the temperature inside the planet is lower, but the water vapor in the star core does not condense, and inside the huge star core composed of countless tiny water droplets, a figure slowly sinks and floats.
The figure's three-meter-tall body is huge for a standard human, and he is the master of the planet, the symbol of the Empire, Emperor Gurbatov.
For the last millennium, Gurbatov has spent almost all of his time in this place, completely cut off from light, as if in self-imprisonment. He meditated in a place where there was no light, no sound, only infinite darkness, seeking a breakthrough - in order to become a leader worthy of his status.
As the Emperor of the Empire, one of the rulers at the top of the galaxy, Gurbatov is not a leader-level patron, which is a bit embarrassing to say, but it is true.
The rulers of the great powers of the galaxy do not necessarily require a leader-level patron, but there are few exceptions. Because in this era when the lifespan of a great country is often measured in 10,000 years, only a leader-level patron can maintain the normal operation of a huge country with infinite life and awe-inspiring power.
The reason why the highest level of patrons are called leaders is because their use of soul power exceeds the limits of human beings, perhaps politics, or military, economics, science and technology, etc., they can always show unparalleled dominance and creativity in a certain field, so they are also called guides. It is precisely because of this amazing ability that a leader-level patron is bound to be a leader in the industry, if not the head of a country.
This, combined with the infinite life of a leader's patron, is enough to keep them ahead of the curve forever, essentially distinguishing them from the rest of the patrons.
As a ruler, Gurbatov's power is undeniable, and under his rule, the empire's territory has been expanding, spanning two thousand light-years, and the name of the giant is resounding throughout the galaxy, but he himself is only a high-ranking patron.
High-level patrons are also known as executive-level patrons, they are second only to leader-level patrons, and this level of patrons can summon enough soul power from the soul sea, and some people even have no less than the leader-level patrons. The executive patron is the natural top management class of every country or industry, for example, within a country, they can be competent administrators, they can also calmly command large fleets, and even the majority of medium-sized rulers belong to this class.
In the galaxy, where the population is already astronomical, the number of high-level patrons is still pitiful, except for the rarer leader-level patrons, they are almost the top of this world. But even so, for the emperor of the empire, the title of executive officer is a great insult.
The emperor of the empire is extremely proud, and he can't accept the reality that he is not the strongest, so he tries countless methods to break through the shackles and become a veritable leader.
What's more, this is not just a matter of dignity, as long as you are not a leader-level patron, then you will die one day, the soul sea will not let any non-leader-level patron wander outside, and the thought that one day he will slowly decay like Lobanov, Gurbatov's heart will rise with irrepressible anger.
But all theories and realities prove one thing, and that is that every level of patron is innate. Whether it is the cornerstone at the bottom who can only feel the sea of souls and is not even recognized as a patron, or the leader patron who is at the top of the human race, they are all born.
Cornerstone was determined from birth that it would never be possible to invoke the power of the soul from the soul sea, without exception. The existence of the cornerstone is only to return to strengthen the soul sea in the future. And those leaders who stand at the top of the human race, they are recognized as having the qualifications to be leaders from birth, a person can be born with qualifications but cannot become a leader-level patron for various reasons, but it is impossible to have a leader-level patron who has no qualifications and relies on the acquired breakthrough.
You can't let a bear fly into the sky because it doesn't have that talent. The hierarchy between the patrons cannot be compensated for by hard work, just as the forsaken are born abandoned by the soul sea, no matter how hard they try, the soul sea will not open the door to them, not even a crack in the door.
That's why the natural ladder is called the natural ladder, and each ladder is fixed and hierarchical.
Gurbatov was only one step away from the top of the ladder of nature, but this step was as impassable as a moat, and the more he tried to break through, the more reality hit him, and the more angry and violent he became.
In the star core, the water vapor close to Gurbatov slowly steamed up, and it was Gurbatov's anger!
At this moment, a voice sounded in Gurbatov's head, coming from his only sister, Feofania.
Gurbatov was surprised to hear that Lobanov was dead, not old but killed, along with his ridiculous, counterfeit King Galaxy of Menister Palace.
So it didn't take long for the real Menistre Palace on the ground to usher in its owner.
