Extra: The Celestial Shadow Empire and Ancient Mythology
Time is like flowing water, and the years do not know how long they are.
Bright and spacious in a large classroom.
“…… After the empire of the predecessor of the Alliance as we know it, after unifying Douluo Star, it continued to vigorously develop technology and civilization under the guidance of the gods. ”
"In that imperial era, the rule of officials was clear, the country was peaceful, and countless capable people, strong people, and geniuses were produced, which led to an unprecedented explosion of soul guide technology and people's livelihood technology at that time."
"Born Lu? Ying, Okayi, Ning Yijiang, Chen Zhixin and other scientists who are famous in the entire history of Celestial Shadow. ”
"For the first time, human beings have explored the existence of the starry sky in the universe, and in the next 20,000 years, they have successfully sent an interstellar exploration team to explore Douluo Star and even the interstellar space beyond the Douluo Galaxy."
"History calls the time of 20,000 years 'the first interstellar technological revolution'!"
At the front of the large classroom, a professor dressed in a league suit was constantly lecturing.
However, he gave an impassioned speech above, and then most of the students below were connected to the virtual world and roamed in the virtual world, except for a very small number of students who were listening to the lecture.
The professor was already surprised, after all, his class was only an elective, and he also knew that these students chose his class to mix credits.
Moreover, in the university, in addition to the cultivation of daily students, the academy also has courses on fighting armor and mechas, and basically can turn a blind eye to these students.
As long as you are high enough to be at the top of the combat class, even if you have a poor grade, you can also work in the alliance government.
This is the principle of the Celestial Shadow Interstellar Alliance, everything is based on strength!
However, in the foremost position in front of the professor's eyes, a tall young man was not as absent-minded as the college students in the back, but was listening very attentively.
And he looked interested.
Seeing this, the professor felt a little strange in his heart.
But he continued to preach, "...... The success of the first interstellar exploration team, coupled with the ensuing aging of the core of Douluo Star and the weakening of the planet's magnetic field, led to the gradual inhabitability of Douluo Star's environment, so in the next thousand years, the Celestial Shadow Empire began to continue to explore habitable galaxies. ”
"And along the way, I discovered a lot of life and civilization on other planets......"
“…… During this period, the technological innovation of space technology and interstellar mecha technology broke out, which we call the 'third interstellar technological revolution'. ”
"Alright." The professor paused and picked up the teacup, "Ten minutes between classes, students can ask me directly if there is anything they don't understand." ”
"Teacher."
At that moment, a girl sitting in the front row raised her hand, and she was still taking notes on her old tablet.
It seems that this girl's family background is not very good, and she can't even afford to use high-end projection electronics.
But the professor didn't care.
"Huh? Do you have any questions? ”
The professor looked at her.
"I want to ask, in the history of celestial shadows, there have been many times when the guidance of gods has appeared, but after entering the interstellar age, there has never been such a so-called divine guidance."
The girl stood up and, under everyone's gaze, asked, "So, does the god really exist?" Or is this the feudal superstition of people in ancient times? ”
When the professor heard this, he thought about it seriously before he said, "Actually, your question has also caused a huge controversy in the archaeological community. ”
"The era we are in is currently the 131024 year of the oracle calendar, and there is a gap of 130,000 years from the year when the legendary oracle calendar replaced the Douluo calendar."
"It has been more than 10,000 years since the Lu clan of the empire announced that it agreed to a constitutional monarchy and changed the empire to the Interstellar Alliance."
"For so long, with the development of human science and technology, out of the Douluo Star, even out of the Douluo Galaxy, out of the Celestial Shadow System, we have not found the residence of the gods, so many archaeologists believe that people in ancient times preferred to deify historical figures, and more often used myths to record history, so when those great moments in history opened, they used the guidance of the gods to explain this."
"So of course myths can't be true, there are no gods in the world at all."
"But." The professor said, "As we all know, based on the claims and records of the Lu clan royal family, most of the myths are true, they are the descendants of the god of night and the god of guardians, the god of dawn, and the god of fire. ”
"You know what the martial soul of the Lu Clan and the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect is, right?"
"Of course I know." The students who were still listening to the class all lit up and said, "The martial spirits of the Lu clan are the Death Star Demon Scythe, the Hellblade, and the Storm Thunder Dragon!" The martial soul of the Nine Treasure Glazed Glass Sect is the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda! ”
"Their martial souls, even in the era when various top-level martial souls appeared, are still the top and even the strongest martial souls."
The professor said, "And the supreme god Lu Yuan in the Heavenly Shadow mythology that we are familiar with, and his wife, Ning Rongrong, one of the guardian gods, martial souls are these four martial souls. ”
"This point is recognized by the archaeological community, especially the ancestor of the Lu royal family, Lu Yuan, although his three martial spirits are incredible, but they are recognized by everyone."
"It is precisely because of the blood of the gods flowing in the body of the Lu clan that they have appeared strong and talented generation after generation, and to this day, the Extreme Douluo owned by the Lu clan and the Nine Treasure Liuli Sect all occupy nearly half of the Extreme Douluo owned by the alliance."
"However, they are all genius soul masters with top-level martial souls, and they are strong in large numbers, isn't it normal?"
The girl raised her hand again at this point and asked.
"Yes, it is normal for a top-level martial soul owner to become a powerhouse, but one more thing I want to say is that among the Lu clan's royal family, those who become the emperor of the Heavenly Shadow Empire rarely appear to be faint to the extreme, and even if there is, they will abdicate mysteriously within a few years in history."
"For example, the famous emperor and tyrant Lu Changwei, he served as the crown prince for more than 50 years, and there were countless henchmen, at that time the empire was loyal to his army, and after he ascended the throne, he exposed his true nature, for his own selfish desires, indiscriminately killed soul beasts, opened gladiatorial arenas, just for his own pleasure, and killed countless loyal ministers and good people during the period."
Everyone nodded, the name of Emperor Tu Lu Changwei can be described as a well-known existence in the Interstellar Alliance, although it has been more than 80,000 years, this famous tyrant in the history of the Celestial Shadow is still very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Its reputation has been infamous for 10,000 years, and the degree is comparable to Dai Mubai, the last emperor of Xingluo.
"But three years later, when there was no rebellion in the Celestial Shadow Empire, he suddenly died violently."
The professor continued.
"You must know that he was a Title Douluo powerhouse at that time, and he was only sixty-seven years old Title Douluo, but he was not an ordinary person, how could he die quietly?"
"But if someone assassinated him, how could he kill him quietly, without mutiny and civil strife, when there were still many henchmen in the empire who were loyal to him at that time?"
"And after that, after his younger brother ascended the throne, he also set a bad accusation against him, and issued an edict in his name, but the ministers of the empire at that time did not object, how can this be explained?"
The professor shook his head and said, "Therefore, there is a saying in the archaeological community that the death of this tyrant was the work of the gods, and it is precisely because the ancestor and god of the Lu royal family made a move that the Celestial Shadow Empire will let the tyrant die without civil strife, and the empire can transition smoothly." ”
"And no matter what the Lu clan royal family says, the proportion of Ming monarchs in their family can be said to be several times higher than the previous Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, and even those alien empire civilizations that we found after entering the interstellar era."
"Even if the Lu royal family agrees to the constitution, His Majesty is not incompetent, but agrees to the constitution under the condition of the alliance's righteousness."
"Normally, it's almost impossible."
"Then why did the Lu royal family agree to a constitutional monarchy? If they are really Dai Dai Mingjun? ”
The girl said puzzledly, "Wouldn't it be better for them to lead the alliance in this way?" ”
The professor smiled wryly, "This ...... Do you know how big the empire was at that time? ”
"The student doesn't know about this."
The girl said a little dazed.
At this moment, the young man sitting at the front smiled and said:
"At present, the territory of the Alliance, as far as I know, the Great Wall of the North Sickle, the divine shadow of the observable universe where the current Alliance is located, has more than 80% of the galaxies that can be planted with the flag of the Alliance, that is, 1.3 billion light years, and the territory of the Imperial Family 7,000 years ago when the monarchy declared a constitutional monarchy, although it is far less than the current Union territory, is also 130 million light years."
"It contains about 100,000 galaxies the size of the Celestial Shadow System, with trillion-digit planets."
"That's right."
The professor nodded with satisfaction and said, "This classmate is right, although the territory of the Celestial Shadow Empire at that time was far inferior to the current alliance territory, the territory was already very broad. ”
"Maybe 100 million light years is nothing for us now, but for the imperial era when super-curvature navigation was not so developed at that time, it was difficult to rule such a large territory."
"Especially with such a large territory, the affairs of the empire will eventually be pressed on the monarch, which is too inefficient, and because the territory is too large, in fact, the dominance of the Lu royal family over the entire empire at that time is also declining."
"Therefore, out of this consideration, the Lu royal family announced that they agreed to the constitutional monarchy, changed the Celestial Shadow Empire to the Celestial Shadow Interstellar Alliance, and ruled the vast interstellar territory with the alliance government."
The girl suddenly realized, "I see, I understand, but the professor ...... Do you think there really are gods in our world? ”
Returning to the topic just now, the professor was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm not sure about this, maybe only the Lu royal family can know about this matter, after all, according to legend, the Lu royal family still has the ability to communicate with the ancestral gods." ”
"But this matter, the Lu royal family has always been secretive, and outsiders have always known about it."
He shook his head, "Anyway, who knows?" You must know that the world we are really exploring now is less than one-tenth of the entire observable universe. ”
When the girl heard this, she pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, teacher." ”
Then she sat down and asked no more questions.
"If you are interested, you can continue to choose my course, or when you graduate from university, you can choose to continue your studies in this area."
The professor concluded.
……
"Alright, that's the end of this class, goodbye, students."
The professor said when he saw the end of class.
"Yay! I can finally go to work! ”
"Dry rice man! Dry rice soul! ”
"Where are you going to go on the weekend, I really want to go to the Arcus galaxy, I heard that there is a huge amusement park there!"
……
The college students didn't pay any attention to the class and left the classroom in a loud noise.
Seeing this, the professor also shook his head helplessly.
The young man who had been listening carefully in front of him just now also walked out slowly at this moment.
At this moment, a dozen seriously dressed figures appeared out of nowhere, surrounding the young people and looking at the people who were not good.
The professor was stunned for a moment, he was a little flustered, thinking that the young man had caused something.
"What are you doing? Tell you! It's illegal to hit someone at Celestial Shadow Royal University! ”
He used his soul power and stopped directly in front of the young man.
At the same time, the eight soul rings behind the professor also told those people that he was a Contra Douluo and not something to be messed with.
However......
"Thank you, Professor, but I know them."
Lu Xuanqian came to the professor with some apologies and said.
"Your Highness!"
At this time, those who looked at the bad people who came all knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Xuanqian and shouted in unison.
"Temple...... Under? ”
The professor was stunned for a moment, his face full of incredulity.
In the alliance, there is only one family left that still follows the rules of feudal titles in the old era.
This is also the privilege that the alliance gives to that family.
That's ...... The Lu royal family who took the initiative to establish a constitution!
And the Lu royal family can be called His Royal Highness, and only the son of the current emperor, that is, the prince.
But you must know that even if the Lu royal family declares that they agree to the constitution, they can still retain their royal status, and there will be an emperor to succeed them every generation.
Even in the era of the alliance, the emperor no longer has a word, but in the alliance, he also has a huge power that plays a pivotal role and covers the sky with one hand!
The royal family also has a huge amount of wealth and great strength, and it is quite mysterious, although it is no longer high, but it is also difficult for ordinary people to access.
But now...... Lu Xuanqian in front of him turned out to be a member of the Lu royal family, or His Royal Highness the Prince?!
"How many times have you said it, don't call me Your Highness outside."
Lu Xuanqian said helplessly.
"Yes...... Temple...... Young Lord! ”
Suddenly, everyone changed their words in unison.
Seeing that his identity was revealed, Lu Xuanqian had no choice but to turn to the professor and said, "Professor Gu, I'm sorry to disturb you, your lecture today is very good, thank you for your advice." ”
"Oooh......"
The professor nodded hurriedly, "I can be appreciated by His Highness, my ...... No, grass people ......"
Lu Xuanqian shook his head helplessly, "Professor, it's already the era of the Alliance, and there is no need for such an ancient title." ”
"Okay, it's time for me to go back when I come out today, and next time, I'll listen to the professor's class again."
Lu Xuanqian's heart moved, and a projection of the current time appeared in front of him, and said.
Then he slowly left here under the protection of a dozen royal guards.
The professor could only stammer, "Congratulations...... Your Highness. ”
