"The end of the natural ladder. ”

Located in the Menister Palace on the first administrative star of the Gurbatov Empire, Feophania, who was bound to a beautiful statue, the executor of tyranny that terrified the entire empire, also whispered at this moment.

Since the last failed snooping, Feophania has been keeping an eye on the man who frightened him, although he can't directly control the whereabouts of the handsome, but in the border wilderness, the empire has a lot of eyeline, especially the King Galaxy, which has never been constantly monitored.

As expressed in the penal colony of the losers, another name for the Frontier, Lobanov was one of the many exiles in the Frontier, who was originally the eldest brother of Gurbatov and Feofania, who was exiled to the Frontier for peeking on his younger brother's throne.

There is a difference in the punishment of exile in the frontier areas.

One is the real exile, where those who are exiled are provided with adequate guards and enough wealth for them to squander, and they are simply expelled from the center of power, which does not endanger their lives, and some even live very stylishly.

On the other hand, like Lobanov, his emperor's younger brother Gurbatov could not directly execute him due to the rules, but had to use the hand of exile to let the chaotic frontier destroy him, and this kind of exile was equivalent to death.

It's just that Lobanov is really the emperor's eldest brother, even if he is accompanied by only a few basic symbolic armed robots, he still conquers a star system with his own power and establishes himself as king.

Fortunately, in the following time, Lobanov has always focused on building defensive forces, even if he counters other people's provocations, he is always up to the point, never far from the King Galaxy, as if he is really satisfied with being the king and hegemonic in this small star system. Because of this, Gurbatov did not encircle him again, but just left him to fend for himself - because Lobanov had a limited lifespan.

Although Gurbatov always presented himself as a great leader, both Gurbatov and Feofania knew that he was not.

Long before he was exiled, Lobanov was filling his lead star with human lives behind his back, creating an artificial soul sea, so as to violently reach the soul level of the leader's patron. But this brutal approach doesn't really make a leader-level patron. In Feofania's view, it was just a pile of disorderly souls, a castle built on the sand, and it was not vulnerable at all.

So as long as Lobanov concentrates on playing his game of kings in his King's system, even if he unabashedly ambitious to build an identical Meniste Palace, or even refill a planet with human life, Feophania does not take him seriously, just wait for the time to come, he will naturally die.

Calculating the time, Lobanov's lifespan was almost at the end, but at this time, two planets, one large and one small, jumped to the periphery of the King's Galaxy.

Feophania can't spy on Gao Shuai with her abilities, but she can see Ameral and Vita through the monitoring equipment of the King's System.

It was incredible, and Feophania couldn't understand how the two planets managed to jump long distances, especially the sapphire-like life planet with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers. (Note 1)

There is no precedent for planetary transformation in galactic technology, and there are records of combat planets below the level of 3,000 kilometers in diameter in the database of the second sex, not to mention that Feophania even knows that there are even more massive combat planets than this.

But there was no trace of artificial modification of that large sapphire-like planet, so how did it make the jump? On another asteroid with a diameter of 200 kilometers, Feophania found traces of the second sex.

The transformation of Vita, that is, the new feminist star, is based on the space city feminism of the second sex, so the traces of the feminism are quite obvious, and Feophania easily confirmed the existence of the second sex from the appearance.

Then Feofania suddenly understood what Lobanov was waiting for.

When Afrashenko was the most prominent scholar of the empire, Lobanov was her crazy suitor, and even Feofania vaguely felt that his other brother, His Majesty the Emperor, was also interested in Afrashenko.

This is not surprising, not only the Gurbatov Empire, but also the entire galaxy had no shortage of Afrashenko's admirers, and leader-level patrons were extremely rare, let alone women, Feofania had envied this outstanding woman when she was a child, until she openly threatened the leadership of men.

There is no doubt that Aphrashenko became a criminal and was wanted by the entire galaxy, not just the Empire, only because she was in the Empire, so the Empire became the main force in the hunt for the second sex.

Because of what Afrashenko did, as well as her situation, the vast majority of admirers gave up, or were forced to give up. Kolobanov not only did not stop his pursuit of Afrashenko, but secretly extended a helping hand until he was exiled by the emperor.

"He's waiting for Afrashenko, no, to be precise, he's waiting for the river of life of the second sex! he's going to use that soul-filled planet to merge with the river of life, to give birth to the end of the ladder of nature!" Feophania finally figured out what his eldest brother wanted to do.

The natural ladder is a social structure that was finally formed after hundreds of thousands of years of development after human beings entered the cosmic age.

In the course of the thousands of years of historical development of Blue Star, the social system seems to be more and more progressive, but it can enter the cosmic era, especially the discovery of the soul sea, and the existence of the patron, which has fundamentally broken this law.

First of all, half of humanity who cannot connect to the soul sea has been eliminated, labeled as outcasts, almost isolated from human development, and can only do extremely menial or extremely dangerous work.

Then, the other half, those who were accepted by the Sea of Souls became the protagonists of this era, but these protagonists were also divided into different ranks.

The largest number of people, the lowest level, and only being able to sense the existence of the soul sea are called "cornerstones". These cornerstones are only human in the eyes of their patrons. Of course, in any case, the status and treatment of the cornerstone are much better than those of the outcasts, at least they have the basic power as human beings, can become legitimate citizens of all countries, participate in the construction and production of the country and even foreign wars, and are worthy of the name, the cornerstone of human society.

And then there are the truly noble patrons, those who can derive power from the soul sea and use it, the darlings of the soul sea.

Because the patrons are able to obtain different degrees of immunity from the Soul Sea, they have a lifespan far beyond ordinary people. And because of the use of soul power, they have the ability to surpass ordinary people, so they are far more powerful than ordinary people, this strength is not only in force, but reflected in all aspects of human life, scientific research, art, production, patrons are outstanding in every industry and industry.

Far beyond the longevity and ability of ordinary people, the absolute strength of the patrons was finally created, and wealth and power were continuously gathered into their hands, and finally the entire structure of human society was completely solidified.

This is also the reason why imperial states are so common in the galaxy.

With the Sea of Souls as the center of value, the outcasts, cornerstones, and patrons at all levels form one staircase after another to the top of the pyramid of human society.

Whether a person can sense the soul sea, or how much they can get from the soul sea, these are all innate, no outcasts can sense the soul sea through hard work, and no cornerstone can get a response from the soul sea through cultivation, everything is a choice set by the soul sea, everything is born and natural.

Therefore, the patrons naturally regard themselves as the chosen ones of nature, and the long staircase that belongs to them and the vast majority of people trampled under their feet is also named the natural staircase, which has become the root and standard of solidifying the structure of human society.

This natural ladder has accompanied human beings into the universe for hundreds of thousands of years, just like the truth of the universe, no one dares to shake it, no one can shake it, and even the vast majority of people don't even dare to question it.

It is only the patrons of the leadership level, those who stand at the top, who have pondered a question that belongs only to people like them: what is the end of the ladder of nature, and is there a higher being above them?

The power of the Leader's Patrons is as powerful as the true gods on any uncivilized planet, they have an infinite lifespan, they have the power to cross the universe, and in some ways, they have surpassed the concept of humanity.

Leader-level patrons are already so powerful, is there a kind of existence beyond them? At the end of that ladder, at the true top of the pyramid, the ultimate of humanity?

This is where the end of the ladder of nature comes from, and among the many speculations, there is a statement that seems plausible and not so difficult to achieve, and that is that the union of two leader-level patrons is likely to produce this kind of existence that surpasses everyone.

Thinking of this, Feophania suddenly smiled: "Big brother is still so stupid, even if the legend is true, what is he?

At this moment, Gao Shuai, who heard that the end of the natural ladder, suddenly moved in his heart, and he thought of the child that Amlar had conceived with himself after fusing the River of Life.
