Chapter 874: The Price (Part II)
A square with a radius of several hundred meters. It was already covered in crimson blood, and even at the edges, it could easily drown the back of Yun Haoyu's boots.
In the center of the square, tens of thousands of rebel members and their clansmen had been reduced to pieces of flesh, and the formidable army of war puppets had been purged and withdrawn from the square. The smell of blood permeated the audience and lasted for a long time!
The terrible, terrifying, and terrible cries, shouts, and begs for mercy still echoed in my ears, but everyone present was used to killing, so they were not moved in the slightest!
After the last round of executions, the emperor stood at the edge of the square, staring at the sea of Shura blood in front of him, and did not say anything for a long time. The ministers behind him didn't dare to say anything, just waited quietly.
Wisps of faint divine thoughts, invisible to the naked eye, gently swirled in the air, swallowing up the massless and formless fragments of consciousness that had not yet completely dissipated, and after eliminating the negative emotions in them, only the purest soul energy remained, and then merged with the golden light in the sea of consciousness.
As a large number of fragments of consciousness were dragged in, the golden light finally changed, becoming slightly brighter, and it was clearly a sign that the recovery was beginning, albeit a small amount, but it was a good sign that it worked.
"Your Majesty's temperament has really changed a little!" Yun Yingxue looked at the great wise man next to her, and communicated with her silently with mental fluctuations.
Feng Lanxi turned his head slightly, looked at Yun Haoyu's back, and replied calmly: "As a king, there will be such a process, and he is naturally no exception!" ”
"But this is too much of a mental stimulation for him after all," Yun Yingxue said worriedly, "He went on a killing spree this time, killing nearly half of the officials and nobles in the imperial capital with such cruel and cruel means, just because he was too disappointed in them!" No one would have thought that the part of the people who were originally trusted and relied on the most by him would be the first group of people to betray him! ”
“…… Those guys deserve to die, but Your Majesty himself should actually be held responsible! Feng Lanxi was silent for a while before she replied softly:
"If it weren't for some of his policies, how could things have gotten to the way they are now?"
Yun Yingxue sighed: "I don't care about this, I'm just worried that from now on, Your Majesty's temperament will not become ...... Like the one before us, right? That's not good news for inside and outside the palace! ”
Thinking of these days, Yun Haoyu's cold and suppressed eyes, who have always been gentle and cheerful, full of sunshine, and with an obvious yin owl aura around her, she trembled a little in her heart.
Feng Lanxi's expression froze, and then he smiled and said:
"Well, it's possible! However, I still believe that our majesty will not embark on this path! When we first met him, although I didn't know that he would reach today's height, and even become our lifelong dependence, I could at least conclude that he was a person who insisted on his heart, was consistent, and would not easily change due to some external factors! ”
"So you chose him?" Yun Yingxue asked curiously.
A faint blush quietly appeared on the face of the great wise man:
"That's only part of the reason, he's a man! In fact, I still can't see through it at all! Originally, based on my original deduction results, no matter how lucky he was, he was at most the lord of a medium-sized country now, but he actually ...... A lot of seemingly incredible things happened like this, it's really unbelievable, sometimes I doubt that I am a wise man or a fortune teller, how can the results of his deduction not seem to be accurate once? ”
"Forget it! I don't care about this, I just care, will he treat us like before, I hope you must guess correctly this time! Yun Yingxue glared at her and said.
After some secret communication, the mood of the two girls improved a lot, and at this moment, Yun Haoyu, who was not far away, finally ended his contemplation and turned around and walked back.
"Your Majesty, you ......" Fang Mengyan keenly noticed his strange appearance and called out with some surprise.
Yun Haoyu asked gently, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ugh! Not...... It's nothing! Her pretty face flushed slightly, "I just think you don't look like you looked the same as you did just now!" ”
"Really?" He smiled, didn't explain, just said:
"It's not too early, let's go back!"
Then, he turned around and explained to Su Shangqing and the others, and then took the women on the flying car and took off to leave.
Yun Yingxue and the great wise man looked at each other and smiled, quietly suppressing the joy in their hearts. Just now, His Majesty's smile was like a ray of sunshine in the dark clouds in the sky, diluting the shadow on him a lot!
Although I don't know the specific reason, after such a toss just now, His Majesty's mood is obviously much better, and he has brought the sunny atmosphere that they were familiar with before.
In a secret hall on the Death Star ship, Yun Haoyu found an excuse, and after sending the girls out, he began to try to communicate with Yun Ruoxuan again.
This time, he quickly got his wish!
"Are you feeling better?" He asked impatiently.
In the sea of knowledge, her figure was a little clearer than last time, and the weakness in her voice was also reduced:
"It feels good, at least I can talk to you a little more now!"
"That's good!" Yun Haoyu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she could recover, it was nothing to die some people, not to mention that those guys deserved to die!
Of course, the lives and souls of tens of thousands of people are obviously far from enough, and in order for her to truly reach the power before she was trapped, I am afraid that more lives will have to be filled.
"Do you think it will take the lives and souls of many people to meet the requirements?" He hesitated, but decided to ask the question.
Yun Ruoxuan looked at him for a while before he said, "This...... She seems to have said that to you before! If you want to fully recover the power of that time and space, you must kill at least half of the population in the Star Ocean World! It's a joke, but it's also the truth! ”
"Of course, I won't force you to do such a thing, but even if you return to the level before you were trapped, it will take at least tens of billions of lives!"
"Ten billion people?" The corners of Yun Haoyu's eyes shrank, and he was really a little difficult.
Even in the interstellar age, this number is extremely staggering, and it is impossible to kill so many people at will without causing many negative effects! Even in his current status!
Although he is the emperor, he can't kill people at will, let alone so many people! And Ruolan and her are even more unlikely to kill innocents indiscriminately, which will lead to endless karma and retribution, and it will be difficult to transcend forever!
But she needs a soul, what should she do?
"It might as well be like this!" After thinking about it for a long time, he finally came up with an idea:
"The Imperial Legion has set out from the Imperial Capital and has begun to sweep all over the country, and I will order all local military and political officials who have colluded with the rebel party to be taken back to the Imperial Capital for trial and executed. The sum of these people is probably about 10 million! It should be able to get you out of the risk of falling, and we'll figure out the rest! ”
"Well, it works, so be it!" She said.
After thinking about it, he said again: "She should still be sweeping the beasts in the Savage Star Domain now, so as to collect life energy, right?" I wonder if if she can recover with the help of those energies if she comes back? ”
"Life energy and soul energy are different, most of those fierce creatures are uncivilized beasts, and they are not of much help to others in this regard!" Yun Ruoxuan said regretfully, "Only human beings who are intelligent beings can really work!" ”
"Wise beings?" Yun Haoyu was startled, and hurriedly asked:
"Those individuals of alien civilizations, they should also have souls, right? Can they be used instead, but will they have the same effect? ”
"This ......," she thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"It should be possible, although they are all aliens, but as creatures with enlightened intelligence, of course their souls can be absorbed and used!"
"That's good!" Yun Haoyu waved his fist excitedly, and the last piece of yin in his heart disappeared.
Although the number of individuals of these old intelligent civilizations is scarce, less than a fraction of that of human beings, the absolute number is also hundreds of billions, even if only half of them are killed, it is enough for her to be useful!
Neither of them, nor he himself, would slaughter his own kind for no reason, but there was nothing polite about these aliens! Race wars have always been only about life and death, and it is difficult for different intelligent civilizations to have the possibility of long-term peaceful coexistence, and he naturally has no psychological burden to kill!
Then, what he has to do now is to wait, and when the military and political order within the empire is restored and everything is on the right track, he can raise troops in a big way, first clean up the Gnasrock Empire, unify the entire human world, and then he can attack those alien civilizations!
……
Mora Star Domain, the location of the Zhanying King's Court.
In the vast and deep hall, dozens of elders gathered around the throne, discussing the heavy topic of their own clan's future fate!
Since the battle with the Starlight Empire, the elite of the entire clan has been lost, and these dozens of elders present are almost all of the high-end combat power that the royal court currently has! Compared with the glorious scene of thousands of powerful people gathering together in the heyday, now this can only be described by the word "desolate".
"Your Majesty, how are you recovering from your injuries?" An elder asked.
On the throne, the light around the Zhan Ying King's body was dim, the energy aura emitted was mixed and impure, and the golden magnetic field around him was disordered, and the demeanor of the former number one powerhouse in the Star Sea world was gone!
It replied softly, "Fortunately, it has recovered about 10%, and I have almost dispelled that strange xenomorph energy!" The recovery will be much faster, so you don't need to worry! ”
Many elders breathed a sigh of relief, as long as His Majesty could recover in time, there would still be hope for the royal court. As for the other troubles, they are actually nothing, and the most important thing is to keep the royal court's position in the Zhanying clan first!
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor of the Starlight Empire has come out of trouble and is purging the interior," one of the elders said with trepidation, "What should we do now?" ”
(There should be a shift at 12 o'clock!) )
