"I can't stop the evil corpse, but I don't really want you all to die either."
Venis was keenly aware of the words "all" and "too".
I don’t want “all” to die, but the subtext is that “all” don’t necessarily need to be alive.
I don’t hope too much, but the subtext is that I can still accept it.
"What can we do?"
"I will provide some help, the rest depends on your will and luck."
"..."
"How many years will it take before the power of this evil corpse extends to the fleet?" This is the question that the Queen is most concerned about.
"Thirty years at most. Twenty years later, the three corpses I chopped off will truly arrive at the location that once belonged to the sun. And your fleet is actually less than ten light years away from the sun..."
Although it has been working intensively on the problem for hundreds of years, the empire still has not developed the technology of faster-than-light flight.
Only a few scientific research test ships can barely reach 0.7 times the speed of light.
The numerous Daqian leader ships, which constitute the core of the main fleet and carry the empire's trillions of people, still cannot fly at a speed exceeding 0.1 times the speed of light.
After all, the structure of the Daqian-class leader ship is extremely special. Through complex space compression technology, the ship carries a small world equivalent to the size of an entire planet.
Essentially, they are just like a planet.
Every Daqian-class leader ship has hundreds of millions of residents living inside.
This also means that unless the vast majority of the people are abandoned and the remaining few escape on the scientific research ship, they will be overtaken by the Daqian leader ship within ten years.
However, even if you can run at 0.7 times the speed of light, as long as you fail to break through the speed of light for one day, you will live a hundred years longer and a hundred years less.
For ordinary people who are only about a hundred years old, it is already a lifetime, but for high-level extraordinary beings whose life spans are measured in thousands, there is still only despair.
"This matter is of great importance. I think we need to convene a senate meeting to discuss it," Venis said.
The accident happened so suddenly. They originally wanted to reform this stagnant empire by promoting black magic.
But I'm afraid it's not needed now.
If the problem of survival cannot be solved, everything is in vain.
As for the authenticity of what Bai Mo said, Weinis, who was familiar with history, had no doubts. This was not the first time that the guy in front of her had created something world-destroying.
Like the Green Witch King in the empire, its predecessor was a giant man-eating tree that was created by Bai Mo. At that time, if it was not handled well, it might lead to the destruction of mankind.
Including Bai Mo himself, he once almost wiped out all human beings.
Como has many doubts, but for the time being he chooses to hide them all in his heart.
…
The Senate is the deliberative body of the imperial nobles, also known as the Imperial Parliament.
In daily life, most important matters in the empire are decided through Senate meetings.
The Senate Conference Hall is called the Hall of Mirrors and is located in the imperial capital Marinchoia. It is a specially designed giant magic weapon that can accommodate tens of millions of people holding meetings at the same time.
It's just that the part that needs to be used now is less than one-tenth of the theoretical upper limit.
In such a huge empire with a population of trillions, there are only about 600,000 nobles.
Every one of them is a powerful person of level five or above.
Among them, the fifth level is called the Morning Star Senator.
The sixth level is Councilor Huiyue.
Councilor of the Seventh Order Xiri.
When voting, Morning Star members each have one vote.
Councilors Huiyue each have twenty votes.
Each member of the Xiri Council has 500 votes.
…
"I haven't seen those old friends for some time."
"Whether they want to see you or not is the question..." Venis cursed after hearing Bai Mo's words.
"For such an urgent matter, I am ready to send a signal to convene a meeting. Tomorrow morning, the plenary meeting of the Senate will begin in the Hall of Mirrors."
"Qing Kemo, you also need to make more preparations."
It's not that Venis doesn't want to go faster, it's just that the Senate will have nearly 600,000 nobles participating in the meeting. Even though everyone is a high-level transcendent, they are usually busy with their own affairs. They have high positions and are not soldiers on call at any time.
, it will take at least half a day to organize and mobilize.
Sending a notice today and having a meeting tomorrow is already a very urgent way to deal with it.
"I will." Como looked at Bai Mo's back and was about to turn around and leave.
Unlike the old-timer Venis, when he was born, the empire had already emerged from the shadow of the white ink covering the sky. It was a time when it was expanding in all directions and was full of enthusiasm.
Although he made his fortune by worshiping the being named "White", deep down in his heart, he was always wary and suspicious.
Of course, Cuomo hid his thoughts very well and did not show them.
…
"Your Majesty, the Elector of the Blood Alliance, Grand Duke Ye Dexian, would like to see you." While the three of them were chatting about this topic related to the fate of mankind, the maid who did not dare to enter the living room to inquire about the top secret secretly sent a message to the Queen.
"Ye Dexian? What is that old stubborn doing here?"
"Ye Dexian?" When Como heard the name, he stopped and was about to leave.
The Blood Alliance is an organization established by the four major true immortal families in the empire. It is also one of the electors of the empire. It has four seventh-level leaders who are the real Optimus Pillars.
But he is also the two biggest political enemies of Cuomo and Vines.
The many bloodline families in the Blood Alliance are probably the group of people in the empire who are most averse to the spread of extraordinary power to mortals.
It is generally believed that extraordinary power is innate and inherited, and those without qualifications should not overstep it at all.
But Como and others are most disgusted with the stagnant water of the empire.
"Let him in."
"Ye Qing, I wonder why you came to Wuyou Palace?"
Seeing Ye Dexian walking into Sansouci Palace without taking himself too seriously, Venis used some strange palace terms that were rarely used in daily life to remind him to pay attention to his identity.
But Ye Dexian pretended not to hear it at all.
Just kidding, when the girl Venis came to the throne, he was already a veteran true immortal who witnessed the coronation ceremony.
What does it mean to be a junior who is only a pseudo-seventh level person with an immortal weapon? He dares to show off to himself?
"Your Majesty, black magic is not a good thing. Those who promote it and abuse it will not end well in the end." Ye Dexian said without any politeness.
After he came in and took a glance, Queen Venis and True Spirit Wizard Como were all old faces, as well as a stranger in white with his back turned to him.
But somehow, the presence of the man in white was very low, so low that when Ye Dexian was talking, he didn't think much at all. He was like... a person in a painting?
No one will consider the thoughts and feelings of the people in the painting in front of them when they are talking.
