A month later, the bells of the Supreme Council Hall of Mobis rang again.
As the saying goes, paper cannot cover fire forever, and the truth that is happening can never be concealed.
I don't know since when, the empire began to spread rumors that mankind was a powerful civilization bathed in divine grace, and in a short period of time it had a powerful force that surpassed the empire.
And as if to endorse this rumor, the details of the Legion's two annihilations were also made public.
For a time, an inexplicable anxiety swept across the entire empire, and countless people began to walk out of the room, calling for the Supreme Council to come up with a solution.
At this moment, thousands of citizens of the empire gathered around the entrance of the hall, and countless slogans and shouts swept towards the closed door like waves.
…
The parliament hall is a ring-shaped building, with 112 members sitting in a 120-degree fan-shaped area with one president, two deputies and three presidents as the center of the circle.
At this time, a young supreme councilor stood in the last row, opened the paper document in his hand, and was making a statement in a slow and unhurried tone.
"...As I reported before, we must clearly realize that the power currently controlled by human beings is beyond our ability to resist."
"It is true that we have a vast territorial galaxy and hundreds of warship production bases. When all production capacity is used for war, we can produce tens of thousands of warships a month."
"But we all know that when one masters transcendent weapons, all conventional weapons are just meaningless consumables."
"In the past few years, I have carefully observed human ambitions, and I must admit that humans must be a civilization that can rule this universe, and they will definitely do so."
"Based on this, I learned a lot about the governance methods of different species and civilizations in the human world."
Crozier flipped through the documents with his left hand and raised a thermos cup he brought back from Earth with his right hand. After taking a sip of the special green tea from the Blue Star, he looked up and looked around again.
Everywhere he looked, everyone's expressions were... indescribable.
——In a sense, he is a traitor who betrayed his own ethnic group in the descriptions of ancient civilizations.
And not only did he become a traitor, he even represented the will of mankind... and joined the Supreme Council - this is one of the negotiating opinions given by mankind and is non-negotiable.
Therefore, those who looked at him had contempt and resentment in their eyes, but more importantly, they were filled with anger.
After a moment of silence, Crozier smiled slightly.
As early as in the human world, he had developed a strong heart.
"I know that many of us find it difficult to make up our mind to accept the human condition - everyone misses the throne. But my colleagues here, let me ask a question."
"Can we accept the Holy Empire and embark on the fate of those civilizations that have been tasked by the Legion in the past ten thousand years?"
"If you can't accept it, now is our best time to negotiate."
Crozier closed his mouth as he spoke. He did not sit down, but stood in the last row and looked down at everyone.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, everyone's expressions changed at the same time!
Those who can sit here are naturally those who have an absolute understanding of the war situation in the past few years. Naturally, they also know better...in the past ten thousand years, what has the Executor Corps done to those civilizations that have violated taboos.
The entire parliament hall fell into absolute silence until Deputy Speaker Klin, who had been looking down at the documents, raised his head.
"Congressman Crozier, please sit down."
"Thank you, Speaker." Crozier nodded slightly, sat down slowly, and straightened his back.
Prophet Klin raised his head and looked around, his eyes full of indescribable difficulties.
In the past month, he visited many places in the human world, from schools to scientific research institutions to art institutions - the purpose of humans seems to be very simple, that is, they simply want him to understand what human society is like.
He couldn't understand this at first. It wasn't until he was about to leave that his student Liana's words suddenly made him sober up.
——Teacher, this is a world full of hope!
Yes, what mankind shows to him is actually two words, hope.
Human beings have pursuits, dreams, and hopes.
Then mankind will have an endless future.
Prophet Klin exhaled slowly.
"As the moderator of this issue, I shouldn't have raised my opinion, but today, I want to make an exception."
"Everyone, it's time for us to think about our future and that of the universe."
In the silence, a voice in the front row rose with a hint of sadness and anger.
"It means that we have to give up all our territories and weapons and fully accept the destiny arranged by mankind, right?"
"No, we accept the fate arranged by the Promised Land." Prophet Klin looked at the source of the voice and said word by word: "The chief prophet of mankind has agreed that he will meet with the Promised Land in person."

The summer of 2040 passed quietly without leaving any secrets.
If there is one, it is a spaceship slightly smaller than the ETA. It was quietly rolled off the assembly line in the space factory with the highest level of secrecy. And as soon as it was offline, she was directly loaded into the belly of the transport spacecraft and headed for
The VSC-43 galaxy - also known as the Dragon Galaxy Cluster.
Among the members of the local supergalaxy group that have been explored most extensively by humans, the transition point galaxy of the Draco Galaxy Cluster is the most extensive galaxy. It has only one star and three planets, and beyond that is the vastness of space.
According to previous detections, the void zone in this galaxy is three light-years long.
Just used to test humanity's first curvature engine spacecraft.
"Ye Ming, what is the name of this spaceship?"
"Curvature number."
"Vulgar!" On the Warp, Eta and two robot soldiers were sitting on the sofa in the cabin. The two robot soldiers didn't say a word and remained absolutely quiet. However, while she was looking around, she was talking to Ye Ye in the projection in the conference room.
Ming chatted blindly.
At this moment, a puppy that looked like a bunch of strings jumped into the cabin. As soon as Eta stretched out her hand, the puppy jumped into her arms, wagging its tail.
"Mendun'er, do you think this name is vulgar?"
The puppy barked twice, but I didn’t know what it meant.
In the picture, Ye Ming, who was far away on the moon, couldn't laugh or cry: "Put the puppy back."
"No, I'm afraid it will get seasick." Ita hugged the puppy and chuckled: "How long will it take?"
"Almost, one minute."
"Okay, then I'll start counting down..."
Ita did what she said, and she really counted the numbers seriously.
"3..."
"2……"
"1……"
Aita's voice suddenly sounded in the cabin: "The warp engine has started."
…
On the moon, Ye Ming and a group of members of the curvature spacecraft project team stood up together, and everyone stared at the light screen projection.
Especially Ye Ming, he didn't even blink - this test was not only to verify the success of the curvature spacecraft, but more importantly, to obtain various parameters during the curvature advancement, especially the coordinates.
Parameters - The reason why it is tested in an open galaxy is to prevent it from accidentally flying into the belly of a planet or meteorite...
Time slowly passed, and Eta in the picture was still holding the puppy and looking around, but it showed that her picture had obvious noise - Eta did not intelligently complete the picture, it was the most original information, which meant
However, when curvature travels, information will be interfered with, even in inter-dimensional and long-distance communication.
Ye Ming frowned. He moved his eyes away from Eta, and then looked at the various detector data on the right side of the screen. After thinking about it, he lowered his head and operated on the tablet, enlarging the detector data to half.
screen.
Slowly, the detector data began to receive feedback.
One light second, ten light seconds, one hundred light seconds... When the detector located at 600 light seconds transmitted the information, Ye Ming took a breath instantly, and his smile began to spread.
As soon as he raised his hands, thunderous applause erupted in the conference room.
"stop."
"The warp drive has stopped."
"Eta, prepare to return." Ye Ming removed the sensor and raised the star map.
The star map shows that in just thirty seconds, the Curvature has completed a distance displacement of six hundred light seconds - twenty times the speed of light. This is already the limit of this verification spacecraft.
"Is it over?"
"It's over." Ye Ming looked at the star map and took a long breath: "I will do other tests when I come back - pay attention to the status of the puppy."
"First of all, it is called Mendun, and secondly, it means that it is in good condition and emotionally stable."
…
Three days later, Etta returned to the moon with the puppy, and the Curvature was immediately sent back to the shipyard for various overhauls. In the next half month, it will face a complete diagnosis of dismantling it into pieces.
"What's next? Can we set off?"
Walking into Ye Ming's office, Etta made two stars appear on the facial display, expressing her expectations.
"It's still early, I have to wait for the third experiment." Ye Ming tilted his head and glanced at the calendar: "There is still one week to get the data, and then we have to summarize the formula with Mr. Huo, and we can't leave until these are completed."
The stars in Ita's "eyes" disappeared, and then an emoticon representing doubt appeared.
"Are you afraid you won't come back?"
Ye Ming: "..."
"You are." Ita chuckled as if he had mastered the ability to read minds: "You are also scared sometimes!"
Ye Ming glared at her, and then slowly exhaled.
The empire has accepted humanity's conditions - allowing him to ride on a human spaceship all the way to the Seer Academy.
This means that humans must carry "ghost" protons on the spacecraft.
Once something happens to Ye Ming, the "ghost" proton will definitely be activated.
If he said he wasn't worried at all... that would be a lie.
Because according to Crozier's report, the empire has not yet completely "unified its thinking", and there are also radical elements in the empire.
But it's not without good news.
At the very least, the empire has reached a unified understanding, which is to accept the paradise's arrangement for the empire's destiny.
In silence, Ye Ming put his hands behind his head, feeling the slight bulge on the back of his head.
That was the chip installed by Mo Gu in the past, and it was also the biggest secret that allowed him to agree to join the Paradise.
——He wants to send Ita to the paradise!
Let’s see if the so-called paradise, the so-called ancestors, the so-called gods…can they still be cool in front of Eta!
