The return of the Lord brought a brief frenzy to the rand, but as the frenzy subsided, it was followed by a populist backlash. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the autumn of that year, in the northern hemisphere of the Rand, there was the first large-scale anti-government march in the Femon Empire, and the parade held up signs with the slogan "Power belongs to the people".

And the parliament's series of tax reduction and exemption policies for the Northern Bloc's outer space exploration projects have pushed this kind of opposition to big business, opposition to the royal family, opposition to the reduction of welfare, and the demand for the reorganization of the parliament to a climax.

The Faimon Empire in 667 New Calendar, like a patient who had just been given a booster, seemed to have no power to reunite its body that was about to fall apart at any time, except for the dictatorship of the situation.

It wasn't until December 1 that Downer gave a lecture called "Another Evolution" at the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences.

Listening to this speech were Lisa, who had returned from interstellar travel, Sister Ellie from the Far North, the new dwarven king Gelnada, all the scholars of the Femon Academy, all the members of the Femon Supreme Council, the heads of the major federations of the Rand, and of course, those who had followed the Donner,

“...... Without human intervention, our bodies will age, toxins will accumulate, and death will eventually end up for each of us, which does not seem to be a bad thing from the perspective of the community or the larger one, because without death, there is no evolution......"

"We have reason to believe that there are countless kinds of life on countless planets in this universe, but according to our long-term observations, it is so rare for a civilization to be able to step out of its infancy and cross the cradle of the stars......

"Perhaps what we see today is the answer to this question......"

"No one can deny that more than 600 years ago, it was a Magna Carta that forged a springboard for the take-off of this empire and the entire rand...... For more than 600 years, you have followed it, even if it seems to us today as a shackle that locks our own hands and feet......"

"Is it that it can't keep up with Rand? Possibly, I don't know, but I know there's another problem that's more serious and clearer...... As long as you take a longer view and look at the rand from a further distance, the answer is not difficult to find......"

"The body is aging, toxins are accumulating, isn't this the current situation of our entire race...... If we think of us as human beings as a race composed of common genes, a living form in a larger sense, then look at the ...... that is happening in this world."

"When we were single-celled, or just moving from the ocean to the land, the environment was changing so slowly that our ancestors had plenty of time to adapt...... But this is not the case in the universe, unknown dangers can come at any time, and comfortable environments can disappear at any time...... As a civilization, to lose the motivation to evolve is to lose the qualification to survive in this universe!"

"So! What we need is not dictatorship, nor white terror, but evolution in another sense! Abandon the dying body, throw away the part of the organ that holds us back in our quest for survival, and out of this lifeless life with 200 billion cells, a new life will be born, a life full of a sense of danger, unwilling to lie in swaddling clothes and wait for death!"

"Two thousand seven hundred years...... This is the estimated data of the Academy of Sciences, and it may be that before that, we will be surrounded by the super life cultivated by the magic web...... And we don't even know where the parent body of the magic web is......"

The vast lecture hall of truth was packed, some people were excited, some were puzzled, and some looked terrified.

Donner knew that he had no choice, that there seemed to be only one path in front of him, and that he was the only one who could accomplish this mission.

"Beginning next January, the Femon Academy of Sciences, the Northern Bloc, and the Chega Syndicate will transport the first Forerunners, the Colonial Brown Buster, and the new kingdom will be named the Republic of Rand...... All those who are willing to step out of their infancy and into the stars, regardless of nationality or occupation, can send an application to the Preparatory Committee for the Establishment of the Republic, and the Constitution of the Republic will be published on the virtual online platform. ”

"In order to avoid possible chaos, the Femon Empire will impose military control from today, and decide whether to lift it in a year's time, depending on the situation. ”

The decision caused some uproar among lawmakers, but it quickly subsided.

"I repeat, this is not a dictatorial declaration, the new Republic of Rand will still be representative, once the republic is ready, I will return all the powers of the Femon Empire to Parliament, and never interfere!"

......

The video of Lord Vane's speech "Another Evolution" quickly spread throughout the rand and, as expected, caused an uproar.

But the Femon Empire suddenly became surprisingly calm.

In January 668 of the new calendar, thirty-seven giant space warships flew to the Brown Nemesis with the first colonists in the second place.

Of the nearly 110,000 colonists, there were more than 80,000 scientists and engineers alone.

Interestingly, Titi and her son, Tony Jr., also embark on this expedition and will become the first citizens of the new Republic.

By the spring of that year, the Preparatory Committee for the Republic had received more than 170 million applications, more than half of which were from overseas.

At the end of April, a day before spring was about to pass, Donner arrived in Elven Territory and set foot on the island of Jean, which he had longed for.

It is a huge peninsula covered with dense vegetation, and in the deepest part of it that juts out to the elven lake, there is a waterfall. The water rushes down from a cliff several hundred meters high and falls on the naturally formed stone steps, making a faint sound.

An old man with white hair sat on the grass on the shore of the lake, quietly looking at the sparkling lake, wearing the simplest white robe hand-woven by the elves.

Donner quietly walked over to her and sat down, as if afraid to break the silence.

Finally, he whispered, "They say that you haven't been out of the island for two hundred years...... There's a lot going on in this world, and you don't care anymore?"

"I've seen the world......" She didn't seem surprised that someone was sitting down, presumably with elven children walking around.

Donner said with a little sadness, "But the world is always changing. ”

The old man smiled, shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid that it will become too powerful and dilute all the memories." ”

"Tell me about the places you've been...... Maybe they're still the same. Donner felt a little pain in his heart, a feeling of distress, and tears were dripping silently, but he endured it, and his voice was still calm.

The old man was silent for a while before he said softly: "Silly child, the most beautiful memories are indescribable, and when you say them, they will change their taste." ”

Donner covered his face and lowered his head, and the scenes came to mind.

Sailing on the big ship of the Forgotten Sea, the half-elf girl held on to the railing and quietly looked at the sea, looking sad and lonely......

On the lawn in front of the building in the city of Nice, she was covered in blood and trying to lift her head......

On the magic ship leading to the Magic Continent, a playful voice came from the small hole in the cabin......

At the head of St. Petersburg, she waved goodbye......

For him, these images only happened a few decades ago, but for the woman next to him, it was a thing of the past six centuries. She was reluctant to take a step out of Qindao, because she was afraid that the world would change and dilute those distant memories.

How did you get through on this isolated island without being married all your life?

The man who held the fate of the whole rand in his hands suddenly broke out and cried bitterly, like a helpless child.

"Reiko...... It's me......" he whispered indistinctly.

The old man turned his head, looking a little flustered and a little angry.

Donner's face, seen through the hazy tears, still had the image of his memory, but it was full of wrinkles, and his blue eyes were no longer so bright.

"It's me...... It's me......" Donner stretched out his outstretched palm toward the aging Ruiko, and on it was a gold coin, a gold coin of Fei Mengdong.

Rick reached out to take the gold coin, and looked in amazement at the crying child in front of him, watching the blue glow gradually glow on him.

"Teacher......" She suddenly covered her mouth, and large tears crossed her aging face, and a poignant choking sound came out of her mouth.

More than six centuries later, Donner once again hugged the woman he loved, holding her tightly in his arms, fearing that he would lose it again if he let go.

Although this time, he was a thirteen-year-old child, and she was an old man with a full head of white hair.
