Chapter 204: Eternal Flame
The three of them followed Jack into a hovercar and drove out of the factory, all the way to the center of the city. Soon after, they came to the magnificent Star Lord Palace.
This palace, Beichen has only looked at it from a distance, and this time when he came closer, he suddenly felt a majestic aura coming towards him.
It was the first time in his life that he had seen such a magnificent building!
Since the gravitational pull of Yasuo is small, buildings can be built extremely high without fear of collapsing. The buildings on this planet are very tall, and Beichen and Andre once climbed a thousand-meter-high restaurant.
However, those buildings that were already extremely tall in Beichen's eyes were nothing compared to this palace.
The palace covers an extremely large area, stretching for thousands of miles from end to end, and there are several large spire buildings in a vast area, clustering the most central royal palace. This royal palace is a thousand times larger than the largest pyramid on earth! The highest point is straight into the sky, and even with Beichen's eyesight, he can only vaguely see the three big words "Star Lord Palace" at the top of the building.
The hovercar continued to drive into the royal city, and the dozens of steel gates on the way were automatically opened, and the three of Beichen and Jack traveled unhindered all the way, and finally the car stopped in the square in front of the palace.
Beichen stepped out of the car and looked out, and in front of him was a flat land, which was extremely wide. It seems that the star lord likes the simple style very much, there are no decorations here, everything is so smooth and clean, but it makes people feel extremely atmospheric.
In mid-air, from time to time flew groups of soldiers. These soldiers are almost all top-level powerhouses, wearing golden uniforms, exuding a harsh aura on their bodies, with majestic faces and solemn expressions, like invincible heavenly soldiers and generals, making people deeply impressed by this momentum just by looking at it.
It's just that these guards only fly at low altitudes, and they don't dare to go beyond the height of the palace in the slightest.
"Don't fly, come up with me honestly and meet the Star Lord." Jack turned around and admonished, and then walked towards the palace.
The three of them followed Jack through the square and up the stairs of the palace.
Even at the bottom of the palace, there were more than 9,000 steps, and Jack took the three of Beichen up the steps, and after a long time, they finally came to the gate of the Star Lord Hall.
Inside the hundred-meter-high gate, there is an extremely spacious hall, with dozens of large pillars standing in two rows, and in the center is a golden carpet that extends from the gate to the bottom of the throne. And in the entire huge hall, there was no figure, except for a tall Jiang Feilong who looked a little lazy sitting on the high throne!
Beichen couldn't help but breathe at a glance. For a long time afterward, he will never forget this image.
The lonely king, sitting high in the hall, without anyone close to him.
His aura permeated the entire hall! Arrogant, solemn, and cold. Where he sits, there is no room for a trace of desecration, everything here seems to be sacred. His majesty cannot be ignored, and his gaze is enough to see through everyone!
When Jiang Feilong was in the monitoring room, he might be able to say a few words to Jack. However, now that he had returned to his throne, any arrogant king did not need to say anything, just a faint look in his eyes, and countless messages had been transmitted.
Jack was also deeply stunned, hurriedly walked to the center of the main hall, and half-knelt down and said, "See the Star Lord!" β
The three of Beichen also followed Jack into the main hall, and Du Wei, who was in second place, also knelt down with his legs at this time.
However, Beichen and Andre did not kneel, but only bowed to Jiang Feilong.
The etiquette in the universe is actually very similar to that of the earth. As a star envoy, Jack bowed half-kneeling to the star master, expressing his willingness to serve the dogs and horses. And Du Wei was born in the common people, so he naturally knelt down to express his willingness to surrender.
However, Beichen and Andre only bowed to show their respect for each other.
This stunned Jack, and he hurriedly turned around and whispered, "You two, don't kneel down when you see the star lord!" β
"I have a reason not to kneel." Andre looked at Jack and said lightly.
"I also have a reason not to kneel." Beichen also said to Jack.
Jack was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something more, when suddenly, Jiang Feilong's voice spread throughout the hall like a bell.
"Haha! Interesting two kids. β
Jiang Feilong laughed loudly, first looked at Andre, nodded and said, "Andre, as a star, you really don't need to kneel to me. But what I want to know is ......"
He said, looked at Beichen and said, "Beichen, you are just a commoner, why don't you kneel when you see me?" What's your reasoning? β
"Andrei is a star?"
Jack and Du Wei, who were kneeling, suddenly heard Jiang Feilong say this, and immediately looked at Andre in a daze.
Andre ignored the shocked looks of the two, he also looked at Beichen, frowning slightly.
Although he was Beichen's friend and knew that Beichen was a mighty and unyielding person, he couldn't imagine that Beichen would not kneel to the Star Lord.
Beichen was not panicked at this time, in fact, Jiang Feilong did not emit the slightest breath to oppress him, so he did not feel pressure. He smiled faintly and said, "Star Lord, I don't kneel because I don't think I need to surrender to you!" β
"What!"
At this time, not only Jack and Dewey, but even AndrΓ© was taken aback.
In the universe, the weak face the strong, just with this sentence, Beichen is enough to die a hundred times!
"I can't help myself! Hum! Jiang Feilong's face sank, although this cold snort was not loud, but with a trace of anger, an extremely subtle energy fluctuation in his voice made Beichen frown.
"Even the slightest fluctuation made my legs and feet go limp, and I almost fell to my knees. This Jiang Feilong's level is really terrifyingly high......" Beichen stood stiffly, his heart secretly tense.
"Stupid master, this is just right, if you go any further, Jiang Feilong will really be angry." The little girl's voice came from Beichen's head.
Jack's face was already pale at this time, for fear that Jiang Feilong would kill Beichen in anger.
Andre also frowned at this time, and whispered to Beichen: "Don't talk nonsense!" β
"Star Lord, please forgive me, I know that I am weak, but I don't think that the weak must surrender to the strong. Of course, the current universe is like this. But the ideal world in my mind is not like this. Beichen said lightly.
Jiang Feilong looked at Beichen quietly: "The ideal world in your heart?" β
"Yes," Beichen bowed.
"My father was an ordinary scientist on Earth. He has always had a dream of building a world free of slavery, aggression, and hegemony. In that world, people lived a stable life and supported each other. The strong will take the initiative to protect the weak, and the weak will respect the strong. Beichen smiled slightly.
"Is it possible?" Jiang Feilong smiled coldly.
Beichen suddenly turned his head to look at the sky outside the temple gate, and sighed softly: "Yes! I didn't think it was possible. However, my father believed it to be possible until his death, and his belief was so deeply infectious to me that I spent my life trying to find a way to build an ideal world. β
"Did you find it?" Jiang Feilong asked.
"Haven't found it yet." Beichen shook his head and said, "However, I see hope, and our earth star is working towards such a world. β
"People are selfish, and the world you are talking about will not exist." Jiang Feilong shook his head lightly.
Beichen smiled bitterly and nodded: "You are right, people are selfish, even me is no exception. Therefore, order will be established in the world, and order will limit people's inferiority and make the world relatively stable. β
"Even then, it is impossible to achieve complete idealization." Jiang Feilong said.
"Yes." Beichen nodded: "The order of the universe is not completely idealized, how can it constrain an idealized world!" β
"Since you understand this, why do you insist on not kneeling for me?" Jiang Feilong's eyebrows raised slightly, and he brought the topic back again.
"Because I'm still holding on to that belief." Beichen took a deep breath: "Although it is suspected of boasting to say this, the establishment of the Earth Star is indeed created by me. If it weren't for me, maybe the Earth Star would still be in dire straits, and even if it did become an administrative star in the end, it would be a world of enslavement and oppression. β
"But because I'm persevering, the earth star has become what it is now, and it has become the way it is working towards an idealized world." Beichen said lightly: "So I still have hope." If a planet can change because of me, what about a galaxy, a star field, or even a universe? β
Jiang Feilong's brows furrowed slightly: "You want to be the one who changes this entire universe?" β
"Nope." Beichen shook his head lightly, and suddenly raised his head to look at Jiang Feilong: "I want to become, one of the people who change the entire universe!" β
"I can't help myself!" Jiang Feilong snorted coldly again: "You are only a second-level cosmic life now, not to mention whether you can evolve into a creator, or whether you can reach the ninth level, it's hard to say." Moreover, above the Creator, there is also the King of Zeus. Although there have been examples of the Creator becoming the King of Zeus, you should know how hard it must be! β
"And even if you become the King of Zeus, you will still be bound by the laws of the universe! The Four Great Universe Emperors are in charge of the Eight Great Celestial Kings, they are the laws of the entire universe, and so far, no life has ever been able to transcend the position of the Celestial Kings and evolve into the Universe Emperor! Such a long, even boundless road, is it up to you to want to finish it? Jiang Feilong sneered.
Beichen was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head again and asked Jiang Feilong, "Star Lord, I want to ask a question." If in the past, there were no examples of a Creator evolving into a celestial king. So at this moment, you wouldn't be saying, 'So far, there has been no example of a Celestial king evolving into a Uro, but you would say, 'So far, there has been no example of a Creator evolving into a Celestial King.' Is that so? β
Jiang Feilong said expressionlessly: "So you think that it is possible for the Zeus King to evolve into the Emperor of the Universe?" β
"I don't know." Beichen shook his head honestly and said: "But I hope it is possible, so I hope to be one of the people who will change this universe, and I hope that after me, there will be an endless stream of people who can stick to this belief." In this way, hope will never be broken, and even if I eventually turn to dust, 'hope' will continue until it becomes a reality! β
"In the past, my father called this belief the 'perfect plan'. And now, I'd rather call it 'Eternal Flame'! So, in order to continue this flame, I will not kneel down to you, Lord Star! β
Beichen said, and his voice was closed. The surroundings became quiet, and Jack, Du Wei and Andre were all looking at the two of them in a daze, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.
Jiang Feilong's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he stared at Beichen intently, as if he wanted to see something from Beichen. However, he found that his eyes, which could see through the entire settlement star, could not see through the weak immortal in front of him at this time......
