Chapter 1201: The Biggest Factor Influencing Choices
How vast is the Lyra Empire?
The Lyra Empire, which spans the entire Lyra galaxy, has tens of billions of star systems, more than five billion habitable planets, and an army in trillions, and Caesar can become the monarch of such a huge empire, and it is absolutely not enough to have extraordinary strength.
He possessed an unimaginable wisdom, and only transcendent wisdom could bring together such an empire of hundreds of millions of races.
He knew what his daughter was saying this for, and knew that he had only two ways to go.
But...... How to choose?
Execute Qin Yan?
Reluctant!
It's not because of Qin Yan's meritorious deeds, after all, he was able to bring back so many gray crystals this time, although strength accounts for one side, luck is the key, and no one can guarantee that he has always had such good luck, the real reason is that Qin Yan has an amazing talent.
As for what he knew, there had never been a rule that could compare to Qin Yan's rules, and his talent had surpassed Caesar's cognition.
The most important thing is that for the Lyra Empire, before the technology is upgraded to a higher level, they can only reach the late stage of the Heavenly Martial Seven Heavens at most.
Qin Yan is different.
He can improve himself through cultivation, which means that Qin Yan's improvement has nothing to do with technology, even if the Tianqin Empire is still a seventh-level civilization, Qin Yan may also be promoted to the Eighth Heaven, or even the Ninth Heaven!
It is true that in the process of the development of a huge empire, a person's strength is limited, even if Qin Yan reaches the Eighth Heaven, he cannot compete with an empire with hundreds of millions of fleets, trillions of troops, and millions of Heavenly Martial Middle Rank powerhouses, but a master with transcendent strength can become a deterrent at any time.
He had great hopes for Qin Yan, and it was precisely for this reason that he looked at Qin Yan differently, and even did not hesitate to exile Sanino for him.
But!
In any higher civilization, especially among the high-level leaders of various countries, there has always been a focus on the right people: not to mention that Qin Yan does not have a strong family background, and even so far, Caesar has never heard of which ethnic group he comes from - the ethnic group that Qin Yan is showing now is only him and Houqing.
With his current strength and background, it is impossible to be worthy of a princess, and even if he is willing to let his daughter marry him, it will attract a lot of criticism.
These are not the most important questions, the key is ......
These princes and princesses had their futures decided before they reached adulthood: almost without exception, all princes and princesses would have to sacrifice their love for the sake of royalty - and they would all be married by the other great families of the Lyra.
Only in this way can the entire Lyra clan be impregnable and become an unshakable rock, and Winona, as a princess, is no exception.
It was difficult to marry Qin Yan, and it was unwilling to kill Qin Yan, and Caesar fell into contradictions.
"You all go out, I have military affairs to report to Your Majesty." At that moment, Salon's words broke the dead silence and brought everyone to their senses from shock.
"Emperor! Listen to me, I really ...... Her Royal Highness the Princess" Qin Yan quickly defended after he came to his senses.
"Qin Yan, let your business go."
Salons glanced at him and said, "Everyone go out first, I have confidential military affairs to inform Your Majesty, and no one is allowed to stay here!" ”
Hearing him say this, everyone really thought that he had something important: the laws in the army were extremely strict, and no one dared to disobey the commander's orders, and Qin Yan was no exception.
"Father...... I ......"
"Get out!"
Caesar glared at her fiercely and shouted, "Military affairs are important, didn't you hear Commander Salon's words?" Get me out now! ”
The feast had to be temporarily interrupted, everyone left the scene, and in the blink of an eye, Salonon was the only one left in the huge dining room.
"Do you want to intercede for Qin Yan and let me not execute him?" Caesar on the light curtain asked lightly.
"The emperor's wisdom is shocking."
Saron knew that he couldn't hide it from Caesar, and then said: "The purpose of the lowly position is indeed to hope that Qin Yan will live, but the lowly position is also very clear, if it is just a plea, I am afraid it is impossible to change your decision at all." Presumably Qin Yan went to the imperial capital on this trip, and you have already learned his true strength, but there is one thing I don't know if you know. ”
"What?"
"All the members of the original squad of the No. 51 formation have now all reached the Tianwu Sixth Heaven, and 27 of them have reached the middle of the Sixth Heaven."
"Oh?"
"When these people joined, they were the early stage of the Tianwu Fourth Heaven and the early stage of the Fifth Heaven, according to the combat exploits they obtained from the last mission, even if Qin Yan and Hou Qing's combat exploits were all equally divided, at most, they could only let these people reach the middle or late stage of the Tianwu Fifth Heaven."
"You mean ......"
Caesar's expression was full of shock, and he looked at Saron with disbelief in his eyes, and said word by word: "You mean, he can help others improve their cultivation?" This...... How is this possible? ”
He only knew that Qin Yan was able to improve himself through cultivation, but in just a few years, how could the promotion of the No. 51 formation be explained?
"There is no definite determination of inferiority, but this is the only explanation." Sharon nodded.
This......
Caesar was in shock, and if it weren't for the fact that he knew very well that Saron would never dare to lie to him, he wouldn't have believed it.
Yes!
In the war between countries, the strength of one person is limited, even if Qin Yan breaks through to the Eight Heavens of Tianwu, it may not be able to raise the Tianqin Empire to a certain extent. But if Qin Yan could still help others improve, the outcome of the matter would be completely different.
How many Heavenly Martial Seven Heavenly powerhouses are there in the Lyra Empire?
On the bright side, plus the hidden ones of various ethnic groups and major families, there should be nearly 100,000 people in total, but most of them are hidden as the most important killer feature.
Is nearly 100,000 a lot?
Wrong!
Compared to the territory of the Lyra Empire across a galaxy, compared to the number of hundreds of millions of people, this number is really not much.
It's not that the Lyra Empire doesn't want to use technology to create more Sevenfold Heavenly powerhouses, but it's limited by the number of resources.
To become a Heavenly Martial Triple Heavenly Martial Artist, the Earth Vein Source Spirit required is compared to a point. Then, from the late stage of the Tianwu Triple Heaven to the Quadruple Heaven, the Earth Vein Source Spirit required was more than dozens of points, and the leap of just one grade was dozens of times more than the combined consumption of all the previous realms.
Why?
Just because the Heavenly Martial Quadruple Heavenly Martial Artist has rules, the martial artist with the rules is much stronger, and at the same time, the consumption of creating this kind of strong person is also much more.
In the same way, the Tianwu Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven is a breakthrough from rule to law, and there will be a disparity of tens or hundreds of times in consumption.
On a medium-sized fifth-rank planet, the earth's vein source spirit is enough to create a late Tianwu Fifth Heaven master, and a large fifth-class planet can even allow an ordinary person to ascend to the Tianwu Sixth Heaven in a short period of time. Even if he changed from an ordinary person to a powerhouse in the late stage of the Heavenly Martial Sixfold Heaven, the Earth Vein Source Spirit of a medium-sized sixth-rank planet was enough.
But if it is replaced by the ascension from the Sixth Heaven to the early stage of the Seventh Heaven, I am afraid that the consumption of the leyline source spirits will be needed, hundreds of earth vein source spirits of the sixth planet!
The Lyra Empire has existed for millions of years, and there are countless expeditionary forces that are constantly collecting leyline source spirits, but the further back you go, the more you need to increase the number of leyline source spirits, even for the huge Lyra Empire, it is a terrible consumption that is unbearable, which is why the earthly vein source spirits are very precious.
If......
If there was any way to quickly increase the strength of a martial artist without consuming the Earth Leyline Source Spirit, what would be the shocking news?
The strength of one person does not really play a big role in a huge empire, but the strength of a group of people is a different matter.
That would have a good chance of fundamentally changing the Lyra Empire!
If Caesar was hesitating between two options before this, then after hearing Salon's words, he had only one choice!
"It's just ......"
Caesar hesitated for a moment and said, "Salon, you should know very well that once I approve of Qin Yan, the Tacloll family will be in trouble. At least, the current Qin Yan is not strong enough, and the current Taclo family is one of the few powerful families in the Tianqin clan. ”
"You mean that Her Royal Highness has married the Taclo family?" Saron couldn't help but frown, he knew very well what a powerful family it was.
"Yes, only a few people know about this, not even Winona."
"In that case, it's going to be troublesome......"
Salon's brows furrowed closer and closer, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "There is a way to humble the position, although it will cause damage to the clan, and it will cause unpredictable consequences, but if it develops in a good direction, it is likely to open a new page!" ”
"You want me to ignore this matter and claim that it is Winona and Qin Yan's private matter, and it is not the original intention of the royal family, right?"
"The emperor is wise."
"But do you know that this is tantamount to putting Qin Yan alone on the opposite level of the entire Taclo family?"
Caesar took a deep breath and said, "If Qin Yan wins, the Taclo family is bound to suffer a fatal blow, which will fundamentally cause the loss of the entire Tianqin clan. On the contrary, if Qin Yan loses, he will definitely die, and this loss is even more than the loss of the Taclo family. In other words, whether you win or lose, the Lyra clan has a loss, do you think this attention is really as good as you imagined? ”
"If Qin Yan wins, the benefits to the Tianqin clan and the entire empire far outweigh the loss of a Taclo family, isn't it?"
"But no one can guarantee that the one who wins must be Qin Yan."
"As far as we know, Qin Yan is smarter than we imagined, and his survival ability is so strong that it is simply incredible."
Sharon thought for a moment, and then said: "In the last mission, he, Nina, and Houqing actually escaped in the pursuit of three Heavenly Martial Seven Heavenly Realm powerhouses. Although he didn't know the details of his trip to the imperial capital, and he was not very clear about his full strength, he believed that his actual combat strength was definitely not weaker than that of the ordinary Heavenly Martial Seventh Heaven Early - at least he had the ability to protect himself under the strong men of the Early Seventh Heaven Seventh Heaven. ”
