After the planet Drugana was 'normalized' as a whole, hundreds of millions of sentient beings suddenly returned to their original bustling and noisy scene.

In the boundless liquid hydrogen ocean, the fish-man tribe also patrols the territory as usual, preying on hydrogen-based beasts in the sea and living and breeding.

However, in various tribes, the various totems and statues that were originally enshrined on the high platform have been completely destroyed, and the statues of gods with the appearance of Mu Cang are worshiped in favor of simple or gorgeous statues with the appearance of Mu Cang.

Around the idol, a group of translucent fish-men, led by an old and majestic priest, knelt down with great devotion and fanatical enthusiasm, chanting:

“…… Our Father, Our Lord, Our Salvation ......"

While these hydrogen-based fishmen were fervently praying to the gods, they also exuded an indescribable solemnity and awe.

Throughout the ritual, these fishmen continued to chant their most fervent prayers to their Father, God, and Savior.

The fishmen recited the words of faith in their sincere voices, muttering awe and adoration from their mouths.

The simple and pious prayer filled the entire sacrificial place with a sacred atmosphere for a time.

They believed that the gods would give them blessings, patronage, and blessings to keep their homes and communities safe.

The same chanting was still heard in the city-state of Jingyuan, thousands of kilometers above the sea of liquid hydrogen.

From the liquid city to the gaseous city, from the commercial area at the top of the East City to the wharf area and civilian area dozens or hundreds of kilometers below, more than a billion intelligent species of different shapes and forms all bow down religiously, contributing their worship to Mu Cang, who is far away.

Among them, only the Suvita, who was kneeling on the top landing platform, could contribute a ray of its precious wisdom to Mu Cang's body standing at the core of the 'entity' of the solar system through psychic mapping.

And through the mysterious spiritual link, Mu Cang also easily saw the past memories of this aquatic cultist, the former prince of the Haimu clan, from a distance of space.

According to the internal information database of Pan Lei, the governor of Jingyuan City, the Haimu clan living in the liquid city area came from a low-temperature ocean planet 3,500 light-years away from this star field.

About 25,000 years ago, the ocean planet, which was covered in thick ice, was dried up and destroyed by many interstellar civil wars and foreign wars, and turned into an uninhabitable and burning ruin.

When King Kaimu of that era realized that his nation was about to be destroyed, he did not choose to give up, but decided to lead the remnants of tens of millions of people to launch a thrilling self-rescue operation-

Escape the planet and head to the stars in search of a new home.

In order to be able to escape from the home planet that is about to be destroyed, King Haimu has formed a starfleet composed of more than 100 large immigration spaceships, as well as a number of frigates, destroyers, cruisers and other different types of warships.

Before the planet's core fell into an irretrievable collapse, this huge starfleet was finally successfully arranged, and rushed to the infinite space, rushing to the unknown Broken Path Star Field.

The sea of stars is vast and boundless.

In the vast sea of broken stars, there are always mysteries and opportunities, but there are also countless crises and thrills.

After spending more than 100 years trying to find a suitable ocean planet but finally failed, the desperate and angry King Kaimu resolutely led a huge fleet to start a crazy interstellar invasion.

】

He launched a fierce offensive against the various sea planet civilizations around the Spirit Realm, hoping to find a peaceful paradise for his race.

Unfortunately, most wars are fought about attrition.

In the face of a complete civilization based on the entire planet, a mere wandering fleet has no chance of winning, and there is no hope of victory at all.

Moreover, the civilization that has stepped into the interstellar age on each side is so agile and decisive that the actions of the Haimu clan will always be detected by the other party and quickly counterattacked.

As a result, in the face of an invincible opponent, the Haimu people were forced to break through and retreat again and again after many defeats.

After an unprecedented rout, the first generation of King Kaimu was killed in battle, and the second generation of King Kaime, who had ascended to the throne hastily, decided to lead the remaining millions of people on an uncertain journey to find a new home.

They traveled along the spiritual path through one planetary system after another, one brilliant nebula after another.

Eventually, during an unexpected trek, the Haimu clan stumbled into the star field where the planet Drugana was located.

It was also at this time that they discovered the city-state of Jingyuan.

As a result, the second-generation Kaime King and his people were attracted by this vast prosperity and decided to stay here and actively adapt to the culture and way of life.

At that time, the Senate of Gaseous Life gave a warm welcome to the arrival of the Kaimu clan and placed them in the Ocean Satellite City, the predecessor of the Liquid City.

There, there have been two aquatic species living for a long time.

Because the Senate believes that they are also aquatic species, this large number of interstellar refugees should be very satisfied with the living environment of Ocean City, and think that they will become a new force in the construction of Jingyuan City in the near future.

The gaseous aristocracy is never afraid of too many people, only too few people.

Because population is always wealth.

And that's exactly what happened.

The Haimu people, who were fed up with interstellar drifting, fell in love with the anti-gravity satellite city that surrounded the main city of Jingyuan City at a glance.

However, the second generation of King Kaime, who inherited the legacy of the first generation, was not satisfied with this.

After he arrived in Jingyuan City, his heart ignited a fanatical ambition.

He wants to seize the dominant power of Jingyuan City and completely occupy this huge city-state.

The second generation knew that this ambition would put him under tremendous pressure and risk, but he still stuck to his beliefs and was willing to work hard to realize his ambition.

He wanted to be a true leader and rule the city-state.

Of course, this is just an ambition, and the second-generation King of Haimu, who knows that his strength is insufficient, will still show a gentle and gentle face in the outside world.

Because compared with the gaseous life clan, which accounted for more than half of the population of Jingcheng at that time, the Haimu people, even if they added the other two major aquatic species, could not reach one-tenth of the number of people.

Moreover, compared to the gaseous life clan that occupied the dominant position in Jingyuan City, the number of transcendent people in the Haimu clan was also far from the same.

Therefore, the second generation of King Kaimu resisted the boiling and growing ambition day by day, and secretly formulated various possible plans to seize power, while also setting a tone for the entire race to maintain a thousand years of survival.

[No matter what happens, don't resist, a thousand mistakes are your own fault, be gentle in character, and be gentle in your style of doing things]

This tone makes the Haimu people extremely low-key and gentle among the various ethnic groups in Jingyuan City, but it also means that they will not be able to compete for more resources to strengthen the power of the clan, and they will be bullied and suppressed by other ethnic groups.

And this is exactly what the second generation wants.

Under his orders, the Haimu people have been engaged in a lot of low-end work for a long time.

A lot of hard work is equated with the Haimu people.

This kind of move is made by the second generation of Haimu King in order to create a passive and passive attitude of Haimu people who have no ability to resist and no pioneering spirit to the outside world.

It was also this series of measures that made other races, including gaseous lifeforms, let go of their faint vigilance against them after a period of time, and began to regard it as a useful supplement to the entire system of Jingyuan City, a supplement to the low-end labor.

After perceiving this, the second generation of King Kaimu also started his new actions.

Internally, he actively optimizes the unique liquid technology system of his race, the evolution system of fluid interference power, and vigorously cultivates the transcendents in his own race to improve quantity and quality.

Externally, the second generation actively and diligently establishes contacts with other ethnic groups and looks for opportunities for cooperation.

The two closest aquatic species are the targets of the second generation.

He used the unique specialty of the Haimu tribe, the spiritual crystalline cobalt element cultivation technology, as a powerful bargaining chip, and spent a hundred years to establish a highly integrated and inseparable crystalline cobalt element production system with the other two long-standing aquatic species in Jingyuan City.

At the same time, based on the consideration of interests, under the leadership of the second generation of King Haimu, the three tribes have also established a strategic alliance of [aquatic species advance and retreat together, and aquatic species support each other].

This alliance not only strengthens the mutual trust and cooperation between them, but also further stimulates the production and sales of crystalline cobalt, so that this specialty can obtain a wider range of sales channels in the market.

Later, with the passage of time, the second generation of Haimu King continued to seek new market channels, and the crystalline cobalt element ornaments and ornaments that had been widely popular in the market were entered into the ranks of Jingyuan City's bulk export commodities, so that this unique product could be exported to other distant planets.

With high quality and excellent craftsmanship, these products quickly established a good reputation and reputation in the interstellar market, and became the representative products of Jingyuan City, Haimu people.

After that, the second generation worked hard for a long time, and did their best to turn crystalline cobalt into this famous interstellar gas station - Jingyuan City-State, which can be shown to the outside world as the second cultural business card after cheap crystalline metal hydrogen fuel.

And after doing all this, the second generation of King Haimu is already dying.

He then passed on his ambitions and the [Outline of Jingyuan City's Power Seizure Plan] to the third generation of King Haimu.

After inheriting the legacy, the three generations resolutely decided to continue to maintain the 'dormant' state inherited by the entire ethnic group from the second generation to the present, and still maintain a 'hello, hello, everyone' attitude to the outside world.

But in secret, the three generations are quietly carrying out an important strategy in the [Ruling Outline].

He used the deleted and modified Haimu people's interstellar escape journey as the main material, risking a significant reduction in the production of crystalline cobalt elements, gathered a large number of culturally talented clansmen, and let them manufacture them in batches and sell them at low prices under the guidance of strong hands, and launched various cultural products with the 'suffering' history of the Haimu people as the core.

Among them, there are different types of music, film and television, games, etc., including fan love, seriousness, compassion, music, film and television, games, etc.

These cultural products not only profoundly reflect the difficulties and setbacks experienced by the Haimu people in the process of interstellar escape, but also show their indomitable, brave and determined spiritual qualities.

The purpose of producing these cultural products is simple, to make the image of 'miserable' recur in it, so that it becomes a kind of symbol of the Haimu people, a sign with the attribute of 'victim'.

At the same time, in the case of a large amount of cultural information, the Haimu clan also obtained a part of the public opinion rights of Jingyuan City.

The plan of the three generations has also been strengthened.

Sure enough, after hundreds of years, under the gaze of the other species in Jingyuan City, the Haimu people have completed a real identity change based on the external image that the ethnic group has accumulated for many years—a 'vulnerable' group that has suffered and oppressed and is in urgent need of help and support from all levels.

After the complete transformation of identity, the Haimu clan touched and mastered part of the moral high ground of Jingyuan City in disguise.

It is necessary to know that under the premise that there is no absolute crushing situation for each other, there is often no need for bloodshed and no death, as long as you occupy the absolute moral high ground, you can easily kill the opponent.

After many days of in-depth discussions in the think tanks of the clan, it was determined that the status of the clan had completely changed for the three generations, and began to formulate a detailed and thorough plan for 'touching porcelain'.

Then, resolutely.

The content of the plan is very simple, starting from the aspects of ideology, skin color, ethnicity, wealth and poverty, diet and living habits, and dispatching a large number of old, young and disabled individuals in the clan to 'touch' the young, mature and robust individuals of other terrestrial species except gaseous species for many years through traffic accidents, neighborhood conflicts, speech collisions, etc.

In all kinds of 'porcelain' incidents, the Haimu clan will always deliberately lose to the other party, so as to continue and long strengthen their image as a 'vulnerable group' on the onlookers and the larger social level, so as to cover for the next plan, or weapon.

That weapon is: breeding.

Or as you could call it, ethnic substitution

Compared with conventional warfare, the power of ethnic substitution is undoubtedly huge and safe.

Because conventional wars are condemned and costly, they generally end in defeat.

But breeding weapons can openly allow their children and grandchildren to invade other people's homes, and the other party must not complain, otherwise they will be labeled as 'ethnic discrimination', 'populism', etc.

In the end, as long as the population of a certain ethnic group in a region surpasses the main ethnic group and occupies an absolute advantage, then the land naturally belongs entirely to that ethnic group.

Therefore, breeding can be said to be the least costly, most powerful, most defensive, and most durable weapon.

And this plan to strengthen reproduction was also carried out intensively after the four generations of Kaimu King came to power.

There is no bottom line to reduce the quality of life, just to have more offspring, let go of other science and technology trees, and only develop fertility technology.

In this way, the breeding program continued for another hundred years.

By the time the five generations of Haimu Kings ascended the throne, the total population of the Haimu people had multiplied, reaching one-third of the population of the gaseous life race.

This year, it was exactly a thousand years since the Haimu clan came to Jingyuan City.

In this year, the five generations finally decided to change the tone of the survival of the ethnic group that had been maintained for thousands of years.

They can no longer continue to be cattle and horses, they have to turn over and become masters.

Since then, the Haimu people have begun to take it for granted, step by step to fight for more benefits and resources from other ethnic groups, especially the gaseous people.

Because the people of Haimu think that they have dedicated Jingyuan City for a thousand years, shed blood and sweat, and worked hard for a thousand years.

Without them, Jingyuan City would not have the prosperity it has today.

At the time, almost all the people of Haimu thought that the city owed them a lot.

And in a traffic accident that I didn't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, a gaseous life followed the habit of thousands of years, and on the premise of knowing that he was at fault first, he bullied the Haimu people on the opposite side as usual.

According to the past, the humble Haimu people will inevitably retreat without a bottom line, and all mistakes will be counted on his head.

But this time was different, the Haimu man actually dared to resist.

This annoyed the gaseous life of the nobles of Jingyuan City.

Anger swelled up, and the gaseous life brutally killed the people of Haimu.

And the other Haimu people who had been hiding around and had been secretly filming afterwards put the whole process on the public network platform without deletion.

At the same time, it is accompanied by a large number of articles that can easily arouse sympathy and anger.

This tragic video of the Haimu people being bullied from the beginning to the end and finally killed, after the five generations of Haimu King used the power of public opinion and the media, it detonated the entire network in an instant.

After that, the other two aquatic species, which were strategic allies of the Haime clan, were the first to stand up for their allies, and they wanted to seek justice for the Haimu people.

Then, out of sympathy, other terrestrial species also gave a certain amount of support to the Umime people in public opinion.

Finally, the frequent interstellar merchants and fleets of other countries also noticed the sudden incident in Jingyuan City.

In addition to giving public opinion support to the poor Haimu people, they also brought all kinds of information about the ins and outs of this whole incident to the surrounding interstellar civilizations.

So much so that for a period of time, Jing Yuancheng had no choice but to enjoy the treatment of 'friendly surprise'.

As a result, the number of foreign ships taking off and landing throughout the city-state, as well as the number of customers buying crystalline metal hydrogen fuel, have decreased.

This made the high-level of gaseous life, that is, those gaseous elders, very angry.

But this whole incident was so unassailable that even the gaseous beings who were in power in Jingyuan City were speechless.

Therefore, in the face of this serious crisis of public opinion that they have never experienced, the gaseous people who have been pampered and pampered for more than 10,000 years are becoming more and more extremely caught off guard in terms of response methods, and all kinds of panic and chaos are frequent, and the situation is stimulated more and more intensely under the premise of unresolved incidents.

One of the biggest panic tactics was to order strict restrictions on the reproduction of the Umime people.

In fact, earlier, the Gaseous Senate had already noticed and faintly realized the growing threat of the Kaimu clan.

The general content of this order is: the uniform removal of the reproductive cavity in the body of the Haimu people, all breeding is carried out through artificial breeding cabins, private children are not allowed to give birth, violators are severely punished, and the reproductive authority of the Haimu people, such as the size of the population, when to give birth, and how many births, will be decided by the Senate.

So domineering, so cool.

So much so that an affirmative action movement called "Haimu People Are Equally Important" was born, and it swept across the entire city-state in full swing.

And what is surprising and dumb is that other ethnic groups, including many gaseous lifeforms, actually think so, they think that Jingyuan City is indeed indebted to the Haimu people.

Under this situation of public opinion, the people of Haime, who had been preparing for a whole millennium, finally launched a silent challenge to the actual ruler of Jingyuan City under the leadership of the five generations of Kaimu King, together with the other two aquatic species.

At this point, a war full of intrigue and calculation without gunpowder smoke really began.

Today I will do the game, and tomorrow you will break the game.

You sing, we appear.

As the dispute between gaseous species and aquatic species became more and more intense, other terrestrial species, which are of a wide variety but not dominant in overall numbers and the number of transcendents, have also cleverly embraced the concept of 'whoever gives more, I will help whoever eats', and has been serving as a grass on both sides.

The clock goes on.

For hundreds of years, in the smokeless wars like peaceful evolution, the Haimu people have become more and more aggressive, and the gaseous beings have retreated again and again.

Even the Senate, an occasion where gaseous life belonged exclusively, began to appear more than one Haimu patriarch.

And these Haimu elders are all competing with the gaseous elders.

Finally, one day, the unbearable gaseous elders decided to launch a crackdown and use military force to completely solve the intractable Haime clan on a material level.

The gaseous beings are determined to slaughter the Haimu people.

Even if this can lead to economic collapse, paralysis of the social system, great destruction of urban areas, a large number of casualties, and even the alienation of other ethnic groups, and even the astonishment of the surrounding interstellar society.

Even if there are great crises, they will not hesitate to do so.

Because the gaseous beings have no other way but to use the most direct means - ethnic slaughter, to solve the problem.

After all, Jingyuan City was created by their ancestors all the way, and they could not allow others to get involved.

But the gaseous beings didn't know that to this day, in fact, the Haimu people were not much worse than them in terms of total population and the number of transcendents.

Therefore, when the confident army of gaseous creatures rushed to reach the Ocean Satellite City, not only did they fail to achieve their strategic objectives, but they were annihilated in one fell swoop by the Haimu people, who had been in ambush for a long time, and united with the two major aquatic species.

Since then, the two clans have been fighting fiercely around this massive gravity-defying city, and even the entire city-state has almost fallen into the clouds at one point.

Finally, after years of war, the Umime clan was victorious.

From the day the Kaimu people first landed at Jingyuan Castle, the seventh Kaime King, who had held the legacy of the second generation, finally took complete control of the huge city after 1,600 years.

The Senate, which had been dominated by gaseous lifeforms, was abolished, and King Kaime became the first governor of the seventh generation, beginning the era when the aquatic species completely ruled Keigen Castle.

One of the first things the Governor of the Haimu people did when he took office was to drive most of the gaseous species into the dilapidated anti-gravity satellite city adjacent to Jingyuan City.

It's been devastated by war, and the environment is so harsh that it can accommodate this group of losers.

And the diehards who have been most opposed to the Haimu people for many years, the small semi-gaseous species, were banished to the outside of Jingyuan City.

These gaseous creatures, who had long been accustomed to a pampered life, were forced out of the city to survive on their own, and in a short period of time, they were tortured to death by the harsh natural environment.

Only a small fraction of them survive by hunting the gaseous beasts that exist in Drugana's atmosphere while struggling to escape the storms and dangers.

At the same time, some brave gaseous creatures have broken into the sea of liquid hydrogen below.

Some died there, and some survived.

With the passage of time, under the influence of the environment and the stimulation of the aura, these gaseous brave men finally disappeared into the boundless liquid ocean.

Their descendants have evolved into a different shape.

These once gaseous lifeforms, forgetting the technology and civilization of the past, established a tribe in the depths of the liquid hydrogen ocean with the savage attitude of hydrogen-based fishmen, and survived smoothly.

Since then, some of the descendants of these founders of Jingyuan City have become the 'urban' legends passed down by word of mouth among the lower classes of the city-state.

In this way, time flowed through the sea of clouds in Drugana for 10,000 years.

In the past 10,000 years, the Haimu people have been firmly holding the position of governor, a total of 22 generations, and have been in charge of the city-state.

In these 10,000 years, the Haimu people have rebelled against the mildness and kindness of the past.

They used the most ruthless methods to oppress all the races in the city, including the two aquatic races that had been allies.

Economy, industry, public opinion, military ...... All layers are controlled by the Haimu people, leaving no room for other races.

All non-Haimu races are only allowed to do low-end work, and can only do dirty work.

The Haimu people even renovated the entire Jingyuan City on a large scale, building a ring around the central wind tunnel that was even wider than the current eastern urban area.

The corners are thrown to other species to live.

All ethnic groups are so oppressed by them that they can't even escape the city.

Because all starship ships are strictly guarded by the Haimu people, the top landing platform is only open to the Haimu clan themselves.

Just when all the races except the Haimu people were despairing to numbness, a starship from the depths of the galaxy crossed the vast universe and landed on the landing platform of Jingyuan City.

The starship portal opened, and out of it slowly came a giant lobster in a half-machine, half-life shell, and a one-eyed warrior in dark alloy armor.
