Him and their stars.

Chapter 1997 The Benefits of the Void Crown

This statement was indeed beyond Yu Lian's expectations.

He was stunned for half a second, then he held his head high with a proud look on his face: "Wahahahaha, it's me as expected! As expected, my destiny has jumped out of the Three Realms and is no longer within the Five Elements."

"The course of history will depend on the changes of the times, but it is also determined in the hands of the true children of the times. Peeping into their future is peeping into the future of the world, and it will definitely backfire." High Priest Nordos said seriously.

A mere official of a high rank, a mere official shaman of the empire, his lines had a bit of a historical materialist flavor. But Yu Lian didn't find it out of place at all.

"Has something similar happened before?" Yu Lian asked curiously.

"It happened twice." The high priest looked frightened. "Each time, it cost me half my life. This time, I made preparations in advance. Besides, I am a demigod after all, so I only lost money."

Yu Lian stood in awe and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

To be honest, if you don't spend your life or money on this kind of skill, you will never use it again after suffering a loss once, no matter how magical it is. But this star-seeing official has done it again and again, so I guess it can only be described as a dream.

"You don't seem to care about the other two times at all." said the high priest.

"I'm more curious about what you saw after spending 100 million gold dragons." Yu Lian said.

Nordos sighed: "To peek into the fate of the times, the price you pay may not necessarily be a price, but it may very well be a punishment."

In other words, the 100 million gold dragons were just wasted?

Isn’t this a card? Yu Lian suddenly felt even more proud.

However, it's no wonder that His Majesty the High Priest is so upset! If it were me, I would probably have to struggle with it for a few more years. Yu Lian blinked and said, "I can give you humanitarian sympathy, but don't hold me responsible."

"Don't worry, you won't be responsible. I just lost 100 million. I'm very upset and really want to find someone to talk to." said High Priest Nordos.

Yu Lian added earnestly, "But, let me be frank, Your Excellency the High Priest, the way Xingjian Pavilion is spending money lavishly right now is something that no emperor can tolerate." Yu Lian added, "Even if it's not Brin who takes the throne in the future... King Suliuka will definitely deduct your funds."

"Then I can only argue with reason." He showed an attitude of going forward even if there are thousands of people against him, and said in a serious tone: "Economists are often paid better than actuaries and mathematicians. Such cost expenditure does not come from practicality, but from public recognition. Generally speaking, we, the star officials, should be worth the price."

However, Yu Lian always felt that the other party's words seemed to contain a very profound meaning.

High Priest Nordos said: "I can't see your fate, but I can at least feel the stirring of fate and time, just like the same resonance I felt at the 250th War God Festival."

Yu Lian smiled but said nothing.

"Ahahaha, as expected, as expected!" The high priest laughed with amazement and admiration: "Three years ago, you were just a fourth-ringed person, but you dared to provoke in the Heaven Realm and dared to play with the law of cause and effect and the timeline?"

Yu Lian continued to smile without saying anything. Anyway, the other party had no evidence.

"However, I should have known it earlier. In three years, you have gone from the fourth ring to the current realm. You can already challenge the realm of demigods. Who else but you can be such a brilliant child of the times?" High Priest Nordos laughed at himself, "The biggest problem of us star-seeing officials is that we use mysticism to peek into too many possibilities of the future, but we forget to use our common sense and human nature to make the most basic calculations."

Yu Lian nodded: "I understand, legal worker."

"...Our Xingjian official should not be guilty of such a crime." The chief priest spread his hands and said, "In the final analysis, through this disturbance of time, I can at least be sure that you will return in a way that will shock everyone."

He stared at Yu Lian, his tone low and deep: "Finally, before my 100 million gold dragons burned out, I saw the outline of the ship."

So the layout started from there.

"There is a Trojan program hidden in the star map data we copied from the database of Jinyu Palace. It is not a simple data code, but a kind of mark that is a combination of spirituality and data." Yu Lian said.

He nodded slightly, but there was a puzzlement on his face: "In principle, it shouldn't exist. It should have appeared at the moment of activation."

Sure enough, this involves the operation of the law of cause and effect and timeline. Even the most powerful psychic can only interfere at the spiritual level and indirectly affect the material world.

Since it is a means of concealment through the timeline, it is naturally indescribable.

But when it comes to time, who knows it better than her? Thinking of this, Yu Lian glanced at Xiao Hui from the corner of his eye.

When she was copying the documents in Schlumberg, she had reminded herself implicitly. So she had the chance to take advantage of the situation.

Of course, Yu Lian dared to pat his chest in front of the Spirit of the Universe: Even without Xiao Hui's reminder, it would be difficult for the other party to calculate against him, but he was unable to play the game of turning the tables on the other party now.

Miss AI, who was dressed in a Taoist robe but only Yu Lian could see her, shook her fan, which had grown larger without knowing when, and said seriously, "I am not taking sides. Even if the other party hacked into your personal terminal and posted a photo of you and Sister Fei in bed on the homepage of Tianyu Broadcast's official website, it is none of my business."

"We didn't take any bed photos." Yu Lianyong said, "Unless you took them secretly."

"However, hacking into the Silence's terminal is unpleasant. This ship may be you, but it is also a part of my body!"

Although this is the truth, I always feel that there seems to be something wrong with the statement.

Yu Lian shuddered and said to Xing Jianguan: "Powerful psychics can leave their spiritual imprints in people's consciousness, so it seems reasonable to leave data imprints in the collection of data. Both the human brain and the computer need to think, and both have information changes, which gives psychics room to manipulate. Implanting a Trojan horse in a person's mind and in a terminal is actually the same theory."

Of course, the above explanation was made up by him on the spot, but it still sounds logical.

Anyway, the Chief Hoshimi Officer opposite him also agreed: "It turns out that it can be explained from this aspect! Indeed, when I think about it, if the imprint I left in the database is deconstructed at the deepest level, it may be the same as the mathematical formula of the hacker program. At least it is the same principle. However, I don't think I will see this in my lifetime, right? What a pity, if we develop in this direction, can we give robots psychic powers as well?"

Yu Lian was stunned.

"He has a lot of ideas. Although they are a bit biased, they are not beyond salvation." Xiao Hui sighed, "Brother Yu Lian, every time I see this kind of person, I feel that the civilization of your generation is not beyond salvation." Yu Lian then breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still respect in his eyes.

"...General, don't look at me like that. A good star-seeing officer actually needs to have a certain level of math skills. If I had won the Tianyu Primary School Student White Dragon Cup Mathematics Competition when I was young, and if I hadn't become a star-seeing officer, I might be a math professor now."

Yu Lian bowed again and showed respect. This was a respect for knowledge and also a respect for imagination.

He then said:
"As for Miss Elected Emperor, what she did was actually to lead us into Fortress No. 1, right? Your invasion requires a spiritual backdoor as well as physical support. After all, the central control terminal of Fortress No. 1 is still a large-scale photon computing array of Tianyan 4. This is a central control array specially prepared for Fort Skyfort."

High Priest Nordos did not deny it: "After the Gate of Glory was opened, the Empire really considered expanding the No. 1 Fortress here into the Skyfortress. The invasion of the plunderer army made the Privy Council determined. However, when we really installed the central control array first, you conquered the Demon Throat."

The expansion project was naturally temporarily suspended. The Empire only had time to install a "new computer" and a large main gun on the fortress.

The star-seeing officer smiled and said, "You came just in time. If it were two months later, the Tianyan 4 here would have been moved away and sent to the Earth."

Yu Lian frowned slightly.

"The Gibraltar Fortress guarding the South Gate of Heaven will be officially renamed 'Bronburg' and expanded into the Empire's standard Skyfortress. According to the plan of the Prime Minister's Office, this project will officially begin in late January."

Yu Lian certainly knew that this was not just a fortress construction, but also represented that the empire had begun to digest the community's original territory.

Gibraltar at the South Gate of Heaven is also a super-large fortress on the scale of the Skyfortress, but in terms of protection, endurance, space planning and structural design, it is far from the Empire that is accustomed to building space military facilities.

Once the Empire completes construction on the semi-remaining remains of the original fortress, the original territory of the Community will be divided as a whole. If the Alliance wants to interfere in the future, it will have to consider the cost and winning rate of crossing the vast "high seas route" to bite the Sky Fortress.

More importantly, what would happen if the main force of the outer ring fleet in the Cold King Fortress learned of this news? Could Marshal Bonaparte and his soldiers really sit back and watch the fortress fall?

But once they were forced to take the initiative to attack, there was no possibility of victory.

Yu Lian's worry flashed away. After all, now was not the time to worry about his comrades.

"The Privy Council really treats their youngest member with favor! But, if I remember correctly, wasn't it Marshal Farrell who led the army to capture the South Heaven Gate?"

"Why are you asking me? I'm just a star, just a figurehead in the Privy Council, and I haven't attended many meetings." Nordos spread his hands innocently, as if to say, "I'm an outsider, don't let the dirty office politics pollute me."

He added: "Fortunately, the photon array of Fortress No. 1 has not been moved away, so my plan has a basis."

The performance of the Tianyan-4 terminal developed by the Imperial Tiangong Academy is still dimensional-level behind that of the Jingmo, but it is one of the most powerful computing terminals in the universe after all, and can always play a key role.

If the terminal core of the Silence is a solid fortress, the program implanted by High Priest Nordos is an insider who can open the city gate for him, and the fortress terminal is an important forward base.

When the terminals of Silence and Fortress No. 1 completed the information connection, the invasion of the Empire began when the Earthlings believed that they were controlling the Empire's major military strongholds.

This is a classic home-changing tactic.

"The elected emperor can also be a consumable! Poor Princess Feilian," Yu Lian sighed.

The face of the High Priest Nordos was also filled with guilt and grief: "Poor Your Highness, but who made her so recent? Who made her a star-seeing official in the past? Who made her a descendant of the Dawn Royal Family?"

He suddenly asked back: "But, if it were you, wouldn't you do the same?"

Indeed, to be honest, if one could really seize an Enlightened warship, let alone an underage electoral king, even if one of the eight royal families became extinct, what would that matter?
In a certain virtual timeline, he had used royal children as sacrifices more than once or twice...

Uh, that's not right. For things like this, I just make a plan at most, but the one who makes the final decision is the orange cat!

Yu Lian folded his hands and said, "Why are you asking me? Do you think I have the final say on this matter?"

The high priest nodded solemnly: "Among the 1000 future visions I have seen, the probability that you have the final say has reached three digits. From a probability perspective, if I want to enjoy a decent old age, it may be more useful to please you than to please any other electoral king."

Yu Lian clasped his fists to express his shame. Apart from this action, he really didn't know how to respond.

"In the face of the absolute interests of the Void Crown, all of us are expendable. Of course, the same is true for her, and the same goes for her future possibilities." Xing Jianguan's expression was still calm, gentle, and even a little kind, but all the smiles in his eyes slowly disappeared.

"What are the benefits of the Void Crown?" Yu Lian asked.

Nordos did not answer immediately.

His power took shape behind him. A vague shadow was slowly gathering, like a monster crawling towards the surface from the bottom of an invisible pool.

"My first plan has failed. Even if it is to be worthy of Her Highness Philian's sacrifice, I can only resort to the most clumsy means." He let out a heavy sigh, looking tired and helpless, but he had the power of the Word Spirit in him.

The data stars that constitute this universe began to sway, as if they felt the vibration of the underlying logic of the universe.

“In fact, now that I think about it, even if you didn’t discover my mark, you would have noticed it a long time ago, right?”

Yu Lian added: "Because it was too coincidental. I successfully captured Slenburg, successfully learned about the emptiness of Iron Shackle Castle, and successfully ran into Miss Sleen, and successfully learned about the emptiness of the Gate of Glory. Of course, because Her Highness Philian's cruise ship also fell into my hands, I had the possibility of seizing this fortress with a Trojan Horse. Everything went smoothly, but everything was too coincidental, so ingenious that it seemed as if there was a screenwriter who designed all of this."

At this point, he smiled and said, "Of course, he is a professionally trained screenwriter for commercial films. The kind that can write dialogues, actions, conflicts, and even emotional changes with precision to the minute."

"This, I am very proud of the story I made up. An unyielding young lady who wanted to elect an emperor had to give up her bottom line step by step under the pressure of a powerful enemy, and eventually became an accomplice of the enemy. I originally thought that when you saw an emperor elect giving up and surrendering little by little, that sense of superiority should have taken away all your vigilance." There was a peculiar halo in the eyes of Xing Jianguan.

This person really has no creativity. However, just as I thought, this person actually has no respect for the imperial family in his bones.
