The universe is finite and unbounded.

The Local Group of Galaxies is just a tiny point in the vast universe.

The Virgo Galaxy is just one of dozens of galaxies that make up the Local Group.

This star, which is called the "sun" by the people of the bee kingdom, is only a grain of sand in the vast desert for the Virgo galaxy.

And around this grain of "sand" are five planets: gold, earth, wood, fire, and water, whose combined mass is only one thousandth of that of a star. There are two rocky planets near the star and three gas giants in the distance, separated by a sparse asteroid belt, but only one planet happens to be in the golden phoenix belt, so life was born, and over the years it developed a civilization known as the "bee kingdom".

This rocky planet, known as "Earth" by the people of the bee kingdom, was healed into a half-moon-shaped land mass connected to the north of the magnetic pole due to the geological evolution of continental plates. It was on this land that the vertebrates born in the sea landed for the first time, the Zygosaurus and the sauromorphs parted ways, and the primates, after hundreds of millions of years of survival, eventually evolved Homo sapiens with a stable social structure, and after exterminating a large number of insects and the former natural enemies of the Zoomatrida, they spread from the southwest to the entire continent, and then developed civilizations and formed various countries. After that, the various civilizations rediscovered each other, engaged in almost non-stop warfare and fusion for 2,000 years, and finally unified to form the Bee Kingdom.

Today, the bee kingdom is ready for everything, and all it needs is the east wind that will send them through the atmosphere and into the universe. However, the road from Kardashev level 0 civilization to class I civilization is still too long, and most people have not yet thought about such a question:

What is the purpose of civilization?

This question seems difficult to answer, and for the current Bee Kingdom people, they are facing a great danger without realizing it. It all started with an incident that happened fourteen years ago.

——

One winter fourteen years ago, the grey sky pressed down to the bare, brown branches, and scattered snow fell from above, turning into water droplets before reaching the ground, tainted by the dust on the asphalt road, and converging into fine, filthy surface runoff.

It was dark on the road, and it was the darkest time before dawn, and everyone was lying in their respective beds, tested by the last nightmare.

There was only a mass of gray wriggling on the black pavement, lonely and pitiful. It was a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, stumbling and running, her white cloth cloak dyed unevenly gray with muddy water. She gasped for breath, but her face was completely pale instead of bloody, and the snowflakes hit the hair on her forehead, and it hadn't even melted.

Soon her cloak was soaked, revealing the black and gold gown inside. Several times she fell due to muscle soreness or unbalanced balance, but she was almost ready to get up before she even fell. Although her movements are not pretty, she runs fast. I don't know what was chasing her to make her so anxious, and the pavement echoed with the sound of small wheezing and whimpering.

"An Chen," she whispered to herself, her immature voice trembling, "An Chen, you are the Pope, you can't cry ......"

The wind and snow hit her face and quickly melted into icy droplets, taking away the last shred of heat.

She staggered and said non-stop: "Anchen, you are the Pope, you can't cry...... You can't cry ......."

——

An Chen sat up from the square pipe and rubbed his eyes.

It's been fourteen years, and she still dreams about it sometimes.

Ten years ago, the country was stolen, and it was an ordinary guard with whom she had never spoken a word before who protected her life to escape from the palace. From the palace to the outskirts of Beijing, a full thirty kilometers, she ran before dawn, and then fell into the farmland on the outskirts of Beijing.

After that, Anchen successfully became a farm gatherer. It's a most ordinary job, it's not tiring, but it also earns very little, just to get a legal citizenship that hides its face. But it's impossible for her to be just like that, just as a wasp can't give up nectar and graze - that's something she can't do.

An Chen looked at the blurry image of himself reflected in the gray window glass: messy black curly hair, pale face, a short cloak with gold leaf decorations, and a stiff collar with bright black and yellow stripes.

Black and yellow, the exclusive color of the pope and high priest in ancient times, has become a popular element with the opening up of clothing privileges - of course, not everyone's favorite color scheme, after all, it is a bit too ostentatious.

She didn't look like the deceased, mild-mannered old pope with long, straight blond hair.

Her Majesty Our Lady of Xinqi is gentle and kind, because she has been frail and sickly since she was very young, so she also has some pure heart and few desires that are not common for α women. And Anchen has been like a little devil since he was a child. Her skin was too pale, her face was too sharp, her black red eyes, her scarlet thin lips, and her chin sharpened, sometimes ruthless, and sometimes she did some strange things.

That was, of course, fourteen years ago. At that time, she was only thirteen years old, at the beginning of puberty, and under the guidance of the Virgin genes, the little girl was deviating from the β as the "default version" and developing in the direction of the α woman. The dark side of his personality was also fully expressed, making Anchen at that time generally not likeable.

But Her Majesty Our Lady of Xinqi always believed in Anchen and believed that she would be a good monarch - most likely because she was already getting weaker and weaker, and Anchen was the only successor.

But fortunately, although An Chen showed extraordinary demonic characteristics, he was really an extremely intelligent child. She began learning how to run a country at the age of six, and by the time her mother died and had to succeed her, she had already mastered the basics of running a country. If he can get widespread support, in time An Chen will definitely become an excellent ruler as His Majesty Xin Qi.

But at the beginning of the path to Pope Mary, the real difficulty was not how to learn to run the country, but how to get broad support. If everyone else sees you as a scourge to the state, you won't have enough time to prove that you're capable of becoming a true monarch.

Usually the lifespan of women α in the bee kingdom is about 120 years, which is slightly longer than that of men and β women, and the pope of the Virgin Mary, as a α woman, will generally give birth to the only α female offspring in the last fifty years of her life, as the prince of the bee kingdom. Although this prince learned how to govern from an early age, he could not obtain the qualification to assist the current pope until he was at least eighteen years old, and the stage of serving as an auxiliary monarch lasted at least ten years until the current pope lost the ability to govern. At this time, the political circles and the people often have a full understanding of the prince, and the prince can be recognized by the government and the opposition, and it is logical for the prince to succeed to the throne.

But there was something special about Her Majesty Our Lady of Xinqi, who was only eighty-one years old when she died. Two years before her death, His Majesty Xinqi felt that his time was running out, and let An Chen, who was only eleven years old, learn to take over the country. At that time, An Chen did quickly understand how the country works, and was even able to make some decisions in the company of His Majesty Xin Qi, but all this eventually dissipated with the death of his mother.

It can be said that at the age of thirteen, An Chen did not learn how to be a qualified monarch - in fact, An Chen has not learned until now, and she no longer wants to do so.

Sitting on the throne of the Holy Mother of the Virgin was a woman named An Jin.

An Jin is six years older than Anna, and was once the personal assistant arranged by His Majesty Xinqi to An Chen. Her original name was probably not "An Jin", and she obviously did not have the surname "An", which should have only been changed after she became An Chen's personal assistant. Of course, An Chen does not have the surname "An", as we all know, the royal family of the Bee Kingdom does not have a surname, because the true supreme inheritance does not need to be distinguished from others.

For An Chen at that time, this personal assistant was actually a playmate. When it comes to theoretical knowledge of governing the country, An Jin is probably not as good as An Chen, who has specialized in this since he was a child, but An Jin has indeed been a very likable child since he was a child. She loves to communicate with people, is a good listener, is good at finding the good in others, can easily maintain a good relationship with anyone, and is also good-looking, with sunny blonde hair and the most charming smile in the world.

An Chen also likes An Jin very much, not only because An Jin's communication skills can block many appeals from palace servants for her, but she really likes this gentle and cheerful sister. When His Majesty Xinqi asked An Chen "who do you want to be with" in order to arrange the spouse of the next generation of popes before she died, An Chen blurted out "Sister An Jin" without thinking about it.

Of course, as a β woman, An Jin obviously cannot become the Pope's consort.

The consort of Our Lady and the Pope is known as the "High Priest" of the Bee Kingdom, but this position does not only have political and religious significance. As a high priest, it is more important to combine with the Holy Mother of the Holy Mother to produce many male and β female offspring, constituting more than 50% of the population of the Bee Kingdom - this is the fundamental reason why the Pope is also honored as "Our Lady".

Therefore, before His Majesty Xin Qi died, An Jin still followed the last wish of her father, the late former high priest of the Bee Kingdom, and chose the same age as her husband, the Holy Son of the Garcia family, Fu Aiguo.

In the end, it was the boy named García Fuaigo who was enveloped by An Jin and betrayed An Chen. An Jin colluded with the palace ministers to assassinate An Chen, and fabricated the identity of the shadow prince for himself, overthrew the newly appointed An Chen within seven days, and ascended the throne of the Holy Mother of the Pope.

When she was seized of power and escaped from the palace, An Chen must have hated her, but now she is not at all. Compared with the unpopular An Chen, the current Her Majesty Our Lady of An Jin is very loved, and under her leadership, the country is also very stable and peaceful, and there is not even the slightest normal chaos during the transfer of imperial power.

Anchen was the Holy Mother of the Pope for seven days, and he failed to do anything, and he did nothing. And An Jin has been sitting in this position for 14 years as of today.

An Chen felt that An Jin was more suitable to be a pope than her, so let her continue to be a pope.
