After leaving his hometown, the Minghui Empire, Allen bypassed the territory of the Rosewood Empire, passed through the boundless wild forests, and came to his own territory, the Aegean Empire.

The statue of the goddess Diana of the Rosewood Empire still stands proudly among the clouds. However, after the appearance of the goddess of the harp, her temple has lost its former lively atmosphere.

The Aegean Empire, a place that was once the size of a palm. From the predecessor of the Eze Kingdom, under the governance of Alan and others, it has now become the first empire of the phantom realm.

Alan looked down from the clouds, and it was clear that the area of the village where the people lived had expanded, the area of the wild forest had decreased, the number of high-rise buildings had increased, and there was a statue of the god of the piano in front of every house.

Alan deliberately slowed down, observing the current situation in the Aegean Empire as he walked along the way. only to find that it has completely changed.

10,000 years has really been a powerful weapon to test people's hearts.

Alan sped up, although he still wanted to leave some expectations and suspense in his heart, but there were also people he had been thinking about for a long time—relatives and best friends who had been side by side.

When Alan arrives in Aegean City, the capital of the Aegean Empire, he finds that it has completely changed. The once bustling imperial capital has become a series of Gothic buildings.

What's going on here?

Seeing this situation, Allen's heart was filled with curiosity, and he came to the gate of the palace in Aegean City in an instant. In front of the gate of Xuanai Palace, a giant statue of 'Allen, the god of the piano', is erected.

"You, you, and you. This is the statue of the founding emperor Allen! If there is anything unclean, be careful that I throw you into the church and think about it behind closed doors!"

A discordant voice came from behind the giant sculpture. Alan used his divine sense to discover that it was a steward with his hands on his waist who was teaching the subordinates who were cleaning up the giant statue.

Church, what's going on?

Alan heard the word "church" from the butler's mouth, and although he didn't know what it meant, he thought it must have something to do with the rows of Gothic buildings.

"Huh, why do you feel like someone is spying on me?" the man in charge suddenly felt that someone was watching him, and suddenly turned around to find a figure behind him. Panicked, "You—Who are you?"

Alan came up behind the steward, staring at him with a solemn gaze. It was obvious that this was a person with a not very kind face, and when he saw Allen, his eyes were instantly stunned.

"You, you are—" The person in charge already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't have the exact confidence yet.

"Hmph, is that what Emperor Qin taught his people?" Alan stared at the steward angrily, and his voice was deafening.

"Ahh

When the people around saw this scene, they were instantly attracted by the sudden appearance of Allen. Everyone knelt on the ground one after another, prostrate on the ground and said, "Lord Kotojin has appeared!

Alan didn't care about the commotion of the people around him, nor did he care about the situation of the steward on the ground. Seeing such a situation in the palace now, he immediately walked into the Xuanai Palace.

At this time, in the Xuanai Palace, it was the time of the early dynasty. Allen looked at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he was the emperor of the qin.

At this time, the entire Xuanai Palace was full of civil and military officials. But judging from their clothing, there are already some earthly Westerners and colors, so much so that Alan feels strange.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Allen. Some people are angry and think Allen is abrupt. Some people are strange and think Allen is familiar. Some people were shocked and recognized Alan.

Allen's gaze fell on the emperor on the throne in the main hall. This strange and somewhat familiar face made Alan feel very immature. From the costume of the emperor's crown, you can see his vanity.

"Who are you, how dare you trespass into the palace of the Aegean Empire?" said a middle-aged man with a hairy face with a big round belly, pointing at Allen's nose.

"You, are you Grandpa Allen?" the young emperor sitting on the throne seemed to recognize Allen and exclaimed in surprise.

Another person who calls himself 'grandpa'!

Alan was speechless. I am obviously still a teenager less than twenty, and I am really awkward to be called grandpa by one person after another. "Whose descendant are you?"

"Grandpa Allen! it's really you!" the current emperor of the Aegean Empire stepped down from the throne in surprise, came to Allen's front to examine him carefully, and reported his home: "I am the grandson of Tobias, the first national teacher of the Aegean Empire, Tophostai, and I am married to the granddaughter of Grandpa Zachry. ”

So that's it!

When Alan learned the origin of the current emperor, he understood why the architectural style and clothing of the Aegean Empire were the way they were. Tobias was a believer in the Episcopal Church of God, and of course such thoughts would have arose.

"So you're a child of the priest's family, so it's no wonder I think you're familiar. Breaking the strangeness of each other, Alan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Big Brother Tobias has grandchildren." ”

Emperor Dollstai ran to Allen's side, took his arm like a child, and said, "Grandpa Allen, I didn't expect you to return to the mainland. Grandpa, they knew they would be happy. ”

"Grandpa, they?" Alan asked, "Who are you talking about, and what's wrong with them?"

"I forgot. Emperor Tovesty scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Grandpa, you haven't been in the Aegean Empire for a long time, you may not know many things, listen to me tell you slowly..."

It turned out that when Alan and Anne both ascended, the entire phantom world changed dramatically. Because of the departure of the two, most of the aspirants in the Phantom Realm fell into deep thought.

The countries that Alan had been to in the past, such as the Frozen Empire in the Arctic North Ice Domain, the Agu Empire in the Divine Netherworld, the Minghui Empire in the Lime Continent, and the ministers and generals of the Aegean Empire, have retreated.

Since then, Kent, the king of the Frozen Empire, has begun to frantically demolish Tanah Lot. In addition to the underground Poseidon Palace, the remaining Poseidon statues were all shattered.

And Mahi, the emperor of the Minghui Empire, handed over state affairs to Alan's brother Abner to take care of. When Princess Marie's children grew up, Abner chose to abdicate and make way for Xian.

Aldrich, the emperor of the Rosewood Empire, suddenly fell ill and died. His own country was divided into three overnight, and the three generals who had followed him divided his country. General Andrei, on the other hand, fled to the territory of the Aegean Empire.

The Lobin Empire and the Chiling Empire made overtures to the Aegean Empire and maintained friendly relations for thousands of years. The three empires have formed a three-legged situation in the phantom realm.

The Aegean Empire, those close friends who followed Allen's southern expedition to the north and the south, lived in seclusion among the mountains and wilderness one by one. When Zachary's granddaughter married Tobias's grandson, they never bothered to bother with the whole phantom world.

And in the Aegean Empire, thanks to the teachings of Father Tobias, the grandson Tophostey completely inherited his line of thought. He began to push the Aegean Empire to the peak of 'true love', and admired the policy of 'loving one's neighbor as oneself' by Allen, the god of the piano.

The whole empire began to provide relief to the poor, caring for the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, cherishing everything, and building the buildings of the Divine Bishops, and finally established the Divine Bishops as the state religion.

Everything that Eren sees now is the result of the Divine Bishop's vigorous development in the Aegean Empire. Priests, priests, churches, became objects of worship.

But as time went on, people slowly began to deviate from the original understanding of the principle of 'loving your neighbor as yourself'. It gradually became self-centered, and the wrong idea of 'loving others must love me'.

People let everything in the outside world revolve around them. While loving someone, you must also be rewarded accordingly. So much so that the center of love has shifted from others to oneself.

Today's Topstein is solving this problem. I wanted to carry forward the spirit of my grandfather Tobias, but it turned out to be the opposite, and people's hearts became more and more deviant.

"Hey, Grandpa Allen, when you didn't come in, we were discussing how to deal with it. Emperor Toversteth sighed, overwhelmed by these things.

Alan kind of understood the ins and outs of the matter. The Aegean Empire has always advocated the policy of 'governing the country with love' and 'loving one's neighbor as oneself', but due to the impetuousness of people's hearts, it has become distorted and disguised.

"So, what did your grandfather Tobias say?" Allen traced the question back to the root and asked, "When I governed the Aegean Empire, it was also his advice. ”

Emperor Tovesty said, "That's right. Grandpa has always been committed to the policy and dream of 'governing the country with love', but when he retired, he rarely managed the world. When he comes back occasionally, he gives me some exact advice. ”

Alan understood, and then said: "The Aegean Empire has always been the goal of 'governing the country with love', but people's love is too short-lived, realistic and impetuous. ”

Only by basing love on a true purpose can it last forever. And the goal that lasts forever is what you hold in high spirits, whom I call the Most High God. ”

"Let's remove my statue first! That will only mislead others and turn the policy of 'governing the country with love' into a policy of governing the country with the goal of 'the god of the qin.'" That's why it's failing today. ”

Emperor Tophostey stared at Allen in surprise, thinking he was joking. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that this was indeed the case. The statue of the god of the piano has blocked the eyes of many people.
