There was silence in the council hall for a long time.

Yang Boqian's smile retracted, and his expression returned to flatness: "It made Patriarch Roger delay the business, and the royal family asked us for help, saying that there is a change in the five valves and twelve families, what do you think?" ”

Everyone in the audience stiffened their faces and looked at the others with strange expressions.

Aside from the purpose of "Top of the Stars", this is the most important topic tonight.

Roger grimaced and said nothing.

Harlins cleared his throat and said, "The main duty of the Sacramental Ministry is to monitor the gods of the empire's borders, and unless the royal family is in danger of destruction, it is not appropriate for us to do it." ”

Yang Boqian nodded, and said slowly: "It should be so, it's time to let some people know that it should be our sacramental ministry that decides the fate of this empire, not the perverse royal family, the five lords and twelve families who are trying to commit treason." ”

He looked around at everyone present and said word by word: "The fate of this empire should be written by the individuals here!" ”

Roger's eyebrows twitched.

I see!

The two have already reached some private consensus!

Yang Boqian is a person who belongs to the royal faction in the Sacramental Ministry!

This discussion was initiated by him, I thought he was preparing to join the war under the pretext of joining the war, but I didn't expect him to sell the royal family so directly......

What exactly did he and Harlins agree?

Roger's eyebrows tightened,

This meeting within the Sacramental Congregation ended in such a strange way.

Yang Boqian got up slowly, smiled at Roger, someone behind him put on a big hat for him, and surrounded by the people who accompanied him, he left the hall directly.

Leaving the council hall, he got into an old-fashioned carriage that was still used by only a few nobles today.

"Old Man Yang is as resolute as he was back then, and I admire him." There was already a man sitting in the carriage, and the man chuckled.

It was a thin middle-aged man, with a short beard on his lips that was obviously well-trimmed, and his clothes were plain and simple and not flashy.

"Ji Langlan has reached a consensus with more than half of the five valves and twelve families, do you still have the leisure to come to me?" Yang Boqian didn't buy it, and he didn't say it lightly.

"Ji Shuai is concerned about the empire, it's too late for us to admire, how can we guard against him?" The middle-aged man smiled indifferently, "Not to mention that what Ji Shuai wants is just a qualified royal family, and in a short period of time, I'm afraid there will be no time to trouble us." ”

Yang Boqian sneered: "Okay, it turns out that the royal family is just a pawn you use to attract firepower, and the old man is becoming more and more curious about what you want to do." ”

"We already have people in the royal family. As for what we are asking for......" The middle-aged man paused, and said with a smile: "It's just innovation." ”

"Innovation? Who? Yang Boqian suddenly laughed, not afraid of the sound coming out of the carriage, and said, "It's the first time that the old man has seen someone who dares to change the stars!" Are you all wild seeds without fathers and mothers, and you can't grow in the sky and the earth? But it is a wild seed, as long as it is still alive in this world, it is also time to pay tribute to the gift of the stars! ”

If there are no stars, there will be no life in this world, it is not just talk.

Legend has it that the Lord of the Stars boasted of giving two great gifts to the creatures of this world, the first of which was the word "bottom line".

What countless living beings want all their lives is nothing more than the word "comfortable".

The Great One is above all and is regarded by the gods as the true Great Freedom; And the gods are in control of their own destiny and are regarded by all spirits as the true Great Liberator......

It seems that in the eyes of different levels of beings, the meaning of freedom is also completely different.

And on that day, the Lord of the Stars drew a bottom line for this world called "Alive".

Only living is the foundation of everything, and it is the first great freedom that all beings in this world have obtained!

The middle-aged man said: "No, the great destruction is the cycle of the long river of origin, that is, there are no stars, and it only buries the creatures of the previous generation, and there will always be 'seeds' remaining, the stars seem to save the world, but in fact they are ......."

"That's enough." Yang Boqian raised his hand and interrupted with an impatient expression, he said with an indifferent expression, "The old man is not interested in listening to your preaching, what is the matter with you coming to find me?" ”

The middle-aged man didn't care when he was interrupted, his temper seemed to be very good, and he said with a smile: "Trouble the old-timers to help find someone." ”

Yang Boqian raised his eyebrows and said, "Who?" Heath Arthur's brother again? ”

The middle-aged man smiled away, stared at the old man for a few seconds, and said slowly: "It seems that someone has already taken the lead before us." ”

Yang Boqian smiled lightly: "You regard the royal family as a chess piece, but you don't know that the royal family also regards you as a chess piece." ”

The middle-aged man's expression froze, he was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly: "This answer is really surprising, it seems that there are still capable people in the royal family, not a group of fools." ”

"It's just, I don't know which side Senior Yang chooses?"

His eyes were full of meaning, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.

Yang Boqian said in an indifferent tone: "I'm a little curious, what is so special about that little child surnamed Gu that can make the two of you compete with each other." ”

The middle-aged man said solemnly: "There are some things, it's better not to inquire about the seniors Yang, the more you know, it's not a good thing, the younger generations can call the shots, and add forty percent to the original conditions!" ”

Yang Boqian was immediately moved.

The conditions that can make him do not hesitate to exterminate the empire, and even isolate himself from the stars, are already thick and unimaginable, and what kind of situation is it to add forty percent?

He slowly closed his eyes, as if lost in thought.

After a while, the old man opened his eyes and lowered his eyes, but he sent the guest directly.

The middle-aged man was stunned and said, "Senior Yang is not impressed? ”

The old man said lightly: "This forty percent is hot, and the old man is afraid that he can't afford it." ”

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "If the old-timers are unwilling to make a move, can they borrow the [True Eye]?" ”

Yang Boqian waved his hand: "Send off!" ”

was almost rudely driven out of the car, looking at the direction of the carriage leaving, but the middle-aged man was not angry but laughed.

The fish have taken the bait, and this self will find a way for them......

Under the dim street lamp, a boy who had returned late ran in a hurry and hit the middle-aged man's leg.

The middle-aged man had a slightly different gaze.

He leaned over with a smile, lifted his head down, and kept apologizing, the ragged boy, touched his head, said it was okay, and then took out an apple from his arms and stuffed it into the boy's hand.

It was a plump, ruddy, vibrant apple, sweet and enticing, with a vague aroma that made the greedy boy swallow.

On the apple, I don't know who painted a bright smiling face.

……

Seeing off the uninvited guests, Yang Boqian's eyes were half-closed, and he was thinking about something alone in the carriage.

He was already more than two hundred years old, and more than a hundred years of planning allowed him to leave the empire at any time, leaving the realm under the command of the stars.

So he didn't care about cutting himself off from the Empire, nor did he care about offending the new Dao Sign.

The only thing he cared about was a deal with the Church Blasphemy, which was directly related to his path to godhood.

The Lord of the Stars has drawn a bottom line called "living" in this world, but he is trying to go up to the next level and touch the true freedom.

He wants to be truly in control of his own destiny, to be a chess player, to be a script writer, not a pawn in someone else's hands, or a character who could die at any time in someone else's pen.

To do this, he will do whatever it takes, even if it is betraying the stars.

The reason why he rejected the middle-aged man's proposal to increase the price by 40% was both jealousy and curiosity.

He knew exactly what these [church-blasphemous] scum wanted to do.

For them, the highest glory in this life is naturally to blaspheme the gods, and among the gods, the great [stars] are naturally the first.

In this, the road sign is not only the "anchor" for the gods to stabilize themselves, but also one of the flaws.

It is impossible to approach the Lord of the Stars, but it can accomplish certain ends through His sign.

It's just that the Dao Signs of the stars are all big names on the famous side, and they are the guests of the gods of all directions, and the weight of the defensive power around them is beyond imagination.

Heath Arthur was the only exception.

But this group of people actually let Heath Arthur don't want it, and pointed the finger at Heath Arthur's junior brother, which made Yang Boqian very puzzled.

What is so special about that young man named Gu Jiancheng?

Yang Boqian played with an eyeball carved from ancient jade in his hand, and his eyes were profound.

It seems that he had guessed wrong before, [Blasphemy of the Church] did not come for the royal family at all, but for the sake of this young man named Gu Jiancheng.

Let's take a look at what is so special about this son......

He slowly closed his eyes, and the eyeballs in his hands that looked like ancient jade carvings emitted glowing starlight.

This thing is the [Eye of True Vision], which is rumored to be left by an ancient god who had a glimpse of the divine power of fate, and could glimpse the inextricable threads of fate of others.

It is also the biggest hole card he relies on to survive, and he relies on ......

Suddenly.

The carriage exploded, and the horse in charge of pulling the cart neighed in fright!

In the billowing smoke, the old man stepped out of it with his head scattered and let out a low roar like a wounded beast.

He staggered to the ground, his eyes wide open and looking up in horror at the night that claimed to be the closest empire had come to the stars.

So ...... What is it?

In the endless nothingness, he saw a solemn silhouette standing in the darkness!

Just one glance made him almost lose his soul!

……

……

Off-road vehicles drive through the wilderness under the darkness of the night.

Gu Jiancheng got up from the back seat and sneezed.
