096. The Philosopher King
Although the philosopher-king set the main tone, there were still dissenting opinions in the darkness.
"King, it doesn't seem that simple."
The Imperial Defense Minister, Karena Darkfeather, stepped forward, an omega-level powerhouse who had only been promoted to this position after returning from the abyss, and was in a hurry to show herself:
"Isn't it too much of a coincidence that when a signal of [social] invasion breaks out on the front foot, there is a riot on the back foot?"
"Indeed."
Jeon Sahiro, chairman of the Imperial Security Committee, and Karena have common interests, and they followed Karena and agreed:
"After the outbreak of the fifth-level silent disappearance, we have been conducting a large-scale thorough investigation of the domestic [social] espionage problem, and the other party knows that we are keeping a close eye on [society], and deliberately uses this trick to confuse the public and create panic, showing that the other party knows the imperial state very well, and may even be the citizens of the imperial state—it is very likely that it was sent by other narratives!"
"I think so, too."
The one who spoke was the Imperial Marshal, [White Tiger Qing] Hu Yanshuo, as a god supporter of the Eight Classics, his body was completely divine, just like his Qing name, his porcelain skin was as white as the moon, and the pitch-black lines were scattered in all directions, full of murderous aura.
As a conservative in the Empire, he has always felt that the style of the Empire is too conservative. Although the young marshal was relatively stable, he still had a great desire to make a contribution and spread the imperialist narrative to the entire abyss.
It's a pity that I finally grasped such a reason and didn't take it out to go to war.
Along with Hu Yanshuo's statement, most people in the Imperial Council also began to think about this inconspicuous incident.
Of course, not all of them are conservatives like Hu Yanshuo.
"King, it seems that some people are agitating our citizens, and at this stage the Imperial State has not thoroughly investigated the enemy, so it is not appropriate to breed trouble."
The voice of reason comes from [Qinglongqing] Mao Tianxing, who is also a supporter of the imperial state, he is an industrialist, he pays attention to development, and is more thoughtful than Bai Huqing, and does not care about these small things.
"I don't think this is the practice of spies, if they do it so generously, they will be too ignorant of life and death, I agree more: this is a [social] citizen who is very familiar with the imperial state, and he participates in it with his own hands, hiding from us, and what he wants to do in the Red Lanxing."
"Seconded."
Huang Suyan smoked a hookah and said lightly:
"According to the Abyss Bureau, the Abyss Bureau of the Emperor in Chilanxing was originally going to arrange for Red's daughter, Glina Water Vortex, to dive away, but after this incident, the Abyss Bureau must be eager to send people away quickly, lest there be a problem in the local area, and the group will come to hold them accountable."
"Looking at it this way, it is unlikely that the group will be involved."
[Xuanwuqing] Bei Minggui hugged his arms and said with a smile:
"It's just...... The Collective is impossible, but what about the Temple?"
"Your Excellency, you know that you have a holiday with the temple, isn't it just a great patriarch who robbed your first love, and other people's great-grandchildren have all entered the coffin, and you still have this one."
"But since the Syndicate is excluded and not the Temple, could it be the Emperor himself? Xuanwuqing's words make a lot of sense."
"A man who has been cuckolded has everything he says with color."
"The opinion of a woman who smokes seems to smell of gunpowder. If you want to speak like this, you can't say that."
"Fuck off, Hu Yanshuo, the old lady smokes a hookah without an open flame, you know a fart!"
The deity of the empire has always been known for its lack of mystery, and even though several omegas(24) have been elected to parliament as the strongest in the narrative, they have no arrogance in the slightest, and they speak with impunity, regardless of their surroundings and status.
In a way, this is also a major feature of the imperial narrative, as the strong of force, the god-supporters of the imperial state and the ordinary imperial bureaucrats are still in an equal relationship.
They can speak their minds freely, and they don't have to care about saying the wrong thing, anyway, even if something goes wrong, with the speed of information update in the inherent time domain, the people will be overwhelmed with a huge amount of information in a short time.
Of course, the more important reason lies in the philosopher-king on the throne.
By the time the other members of the council were discussing it, it was clear that the matter was no longer an ordinary law and order incident.
Although the philosopher-king, based on his years of experience in power, always thought in his heart that this was just a small matter of a fly, it was clear that the people and bureaucrats of the imperial state would not accept this in this special period.
"These god-supporters, ostensibly for the safety of the empire, are actually all selfish goods, and they all want to take the opportunity to expand their influence."
As the head of the imperial state, the philosopher-king's team has always pursued the practice of leaving the house without anything, not really afraid that there will be no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey will be called the king.
In fact, the philosopher-king was never the supreme force of the imperial state.
Only the beast would revere the strong as king, and exalt personal violence to the extreme.
The individual strength of the Destroyers is unmatched in the abyss, they represent an incomprehensible alien concept, and they are the pinnacle of individual force.
However, the Destroyer was defeated and vanished.
Because the individual is always limited, and it can even be that the perfection of the individual means that there is no room for improvement, and the upper limit has been locked.
It was the Society and the Ancient Gods and Warriors who defeated the Destroyers, and it was the Societies that defeated the last Gods, the Warrior Leoz.
And now, after the [Social] coalition invaded the star abyss, they were turned away by the narrative civilization!
The reason why civilization is strong is that civilization will allow professionals to do professional things, so that everyone can give full play to their own strengths, and let everyone become experts in their own fields and positions.
The so-called everyone is an emperor, and the heroes gather to form a federation, which is exactly the case.
The philosopher king alone can take on 87 percent of the 4.7 million square light-year star fields of the entire imperial state.
He has a 28*10 independent personality to the 29th power, a person is a country, can be sympathetic to the people's feelings everywhere, know how to deal with all kinds of people, men, women and children, not only understand the dignity of a big country, but also understand the care of the small people better than you.
If necessary, a large number of personalities can descend on the local bureaucracy of the Imperial State at any time to take over the government.
Of course, this terrifying personality computing power is also one of the weapons of the imperial state.
As we all know, the human brain is the best quantum computer, and when the philosopher king drives the computing power with all his might, the secondary effect is enough to easily detonate all the stars in a galaxy.
His wisdom can support three different policy and diplomatic options at the same time, and preview the data of the next 20 years.
Although seventy percent of the data would have been intercepted and polluted by the interference of the Syndicate and the Temple, the remaining thirty percent of the accurate data alone had surpassed the level of all secular politicians.
So, at what cost?
The price is to create a philosopher-king, and it is necessary to have countless young heroes who love the empire, are loyal to the empire, and swear to contribute their lives to the imperialist narrative, and dedicate their lives, even the bones of the corpses, all into the great narrative blueprint.
The philosopher-king has no name, and even the title of 'philosopher-king' is given to him by outsiders, he is the will of the nation, the personality of civilization, and the narrator of the entire imperial narrative.
The philosopher-kings were not surprised by the dispute among the imperial bureaucratic elites, and in fact they were right, each with its own reasoning.
It is never useful to quarrel because it does not come up with anything nutritious.
But the act of quarreling is useful in itself, the more taciturn you are, the more you will be despised, and only the crying child will have milk, and this principle permeates all civilizations.
When the Quartet Emperor first began to bring up this topic, when they had their own opinions, the philosopher king had already begun to mobilize computing power, collect materials, build models, and begin to secretly run deductions.
In a sense, this approach is similar to timeline deduction, but very different because time does not exist.
Most of the time ability is just like the 'SL God Cult', leaving a save in place, and then starting to move forward, finding that something is wrong, the program is running conflictingly, and quickly rewind it back, so as to form a seemingly discontinuous, but in fact still continuous time illusion.
The philosopher-king's deduction is very simple and crude.
"Sequence 30: Circuit"
"Sequence 19: Rugged"
Sequence 4: Destiny
The philosopher's golden eyes quickly spread, revealing a burst of shattered glass.
At this moment, his posture suddenly rose to the five-dimensional space, and he could easily see the life of everyone present.
[White Tiger Qing] fought all his life, and finally returned with a full load, but on the road to victory, he was assassinated by the evil god believers, and finally fell into the evil monster against the empire.
Behind [Vermilion Bird's Choice] is to commemorate the mortal husband who has been with her for the past 200 years, as a god supporter, her love for mortals has not deteriorated.
He has a lot of sympathy for [society], and to a certain extent, even agrees with the concept of absolute equality of [society] - despite this, he still loves the country, and he did not surrender to [society] until he died.
[Xuanwuqing] hatred for the Temple was so severe that in his twilight years, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and secretly funded some 'ignorant terrorists' to cause mass murder in the member countries of the Temple.
…………
Of course, this is just a big model based on the information captured in social media and ubiquitous quantum network nodes.
There will certainly be a large number of Templars who will spread awareness and distraction, and the Syndicate will not be stingy to invest capital in this area and tarnish its image with a water army.
What's more, people change, and no matter how good the result of each calculation is, it is just an evaluation.
The philosopher-king did not particularly care about this information, and for the time being, the imperial princes were still loyal to their homeland and faith, and still adhered to the imperialist narrative – and that was enough.
He began to shift his attention to the planet Chilan, and by gathering information, he began to restore the scene.
"Beginning of the Restoration of the Abyss Harbor Incident ...... of the Red Lan Star"
He sees information that has been overlooked by bureaucrats and surveillance blind spots.
-- Shortly before the crime, three young men and women entered the inherent time domain through legal means.
Moreover, one of them has a [social] aura in him.
…… No, that's not a parliamentarian.
A hint of surprise appeared in the philosopher's eyes.
"What is this, not a citizen of [society], but capable of possessing the characteristics and abilities of a councilor, and not only that, but also retaining the path of the abyss side...... This biological signal, his genes...... Like me, all of them are Arcane?"
Odd.
Obviously, he has such a powerful arcane power, but the other party has not embarked on the path of [domination] like himself.
What's even stranger......
Even the [Domination] path has not taken refuge, this child is actually extremely skilled in the control of the Ao Neng, in life, can switch the Ao Neng, walk smoothly, extremely freely, as if the Ao Neng is a part of the body's organs.
It's simply incredible.
With this surprise in mind, the philosopher-king began to reconstruct the whole event over and over again.
Although Leoz and others enjoyed the protection of the Lediazepam medical agreement, their identities were not exposed, nor were several illegal immigrants exposed.
However, under the operation of [Sequence 4: Fate], the entire content of the Battle of Tiantai was still completely restored.
The facial information of the team members is hidden, and the genetic data is not traceable - but this is exactly the same phenomenon as the 'Arrivals' of the undead warriors active in Valkyrie Fortress.
"These children are all descenders, and it seems that these forces are still too underestimated...... No, even among the Adventists, these children are still at the top of their game."
The philosopher-king of this generation, who was born as a [Master] Path, and was the owner of the Sequence Arcane, no one knew better than him how difficult it was to train and learn the Arcane.
The conversion of the [Domination] path requires genetic mutations, and most of the [mutants] can't be said to be alien monsters in the early stage, at least they are also deformed freaks.
Perennial genetic load acts on the body directly leading to hormonal disorders, and hormones are the root cause of personality control.
Why is it that the [Dominator] Dao Tu Deng, eight terrorists out of ten, one madman, and the remaining one is still in a worrying mental state - just like people who take fitness drugs and inject hormones indiscriminately, endocrine disorders, abnormal tempers, and only harm society, it's okay.
Olympian people must carry out protective containment and arcane standard training before their minds mature, otherwise the slightest carelessness can force the child to become a terrorist.
Even if a player wears a filter, it is very difficult to practice the proficiency of the arcane energy, and it is not necessarily much stronger than the local genius.
This is still a conversion to the [Domination] path, if it is a wild arcane power, or other paths that have awakened the arcane ability, then most of them are eager to undergo surgery and give this arcane ability, which will not only cause genetic load, but also affect emotions.
To put it simply: You can mess with my Dao heart, you have a way to die, and you should be killed.
Even the most brilliant Juggernaut genius of Imperial Empire's time is no more than that.
Therefore, when the Philosopher King saw the invincible True General in the entry trio as a non-Taoist ascending god, showing the skillful use of the Arcane Ability, and the [Blacksmith] Councilor's aura simulated by the evolved [Bloodline] Arcane Ability, the narrative leader appeared to have a skeptical attitude towards life for the first time.
Even the almost omniscient philosopher-king is completely incomprehensible:
"Why is it that a Zeta Rank (6) [Qigong Master] whose biological age is no more than 40 years old can switch extremely smoothly with one hand?"
