Him and their stars.

Chapter 2143 Another even more ruthless one has arrived from outside.
“Then I will definitely be another Marshal Li, and I will definitely do a more spectacular job than him.” Yu Lian sneered: “There are too many people born in the Empire who are also rebelling against the Empire. This is a case of the righteous gaining many supporters and the unrighteous losing few.”

The emperor looked at Yu Lian meaningfully, then smiled kindly: "You won't, Yu Lianqing."

How so? Yu Lian wanted to discuss this, but the Emperor simply said to himself, "In that case, I would have a happy dilemma. I would hesitate about who is qualified to lead the Tirelo people forward. Fortunately, I still understand the principle that two tigers cannot share one mountain. You know, in the history of the Galactic Empire, there has never been a lack of people who could stand on the same side as the master of the Void Crown and share the future."

Goodness, this is just like a virtual timeline!

"Is this what you and Brin did?" he suddenly asked.

Yu Lian smiled without saying a word, which would make him appear confident and composed.

"Where, did you truly witness the essence of the Void Crown?"

Yu Lian remained silent, but his smile had also faded. He said in a deep voice, "Yes, it was from that time that I began to doubt the meaning of the Void Crown."

"That was truly a mistake. I should have warned Brin beforehand, but that wouldn't have been in the true spirit of the trial. Whatever happened, the child must bear the consequences herself," Emperor Elither expressed his regret.

"More importantly, if you were born into the Empire, wouldn't that prove that the best young people all have the blood of the Empire? The future of humanity, the future of the universe, is in the hands of the Empire."

Is such forced proof meaningful?

"I've already said it! Young leader of Earthlings, the will of civilization is the will of emptiness. The will of emptiness is my will. Believe, and there will be a future!"

"So you know... it's really exhausting to have conversations with you idealistic idiots!"

"You're actually a stubborn idealist too! Hahaha, although you always claim to be a materialist, the world never does as you wish. The sacred shadow of the dragon of fantasy dwells in your soul, but is that materialistic or idealistic? You just firmly believed that my confinement had cracks, and you just broke free from my control. So, is that materialistic or idealistic? Young Earth leader, in this universe, psychic energy objectively exists, but even the most sophisticated instruments cannot detect its fundamental particles. So, where exactly do you insist on this?"

During Yu Lian's brief silence, the emperor's spirit slowly moved forward a few more steps, becoming more and more like a ghost.

"You must acknowledge, young leader of Earth, the existence of psychic energy. You must also acknowledge that the power originating from within is the cornerstone of this universe, causing inequality among all beings. This is innate, not acquired. Young leader of Earth, your ideal is destined to be nothing more than a beautiful bubble. It may last for two or three generations, until you grow old, until your followers abandon you. Are you prepared for this?"

His response was a barely perceptible, blurry trace, which then immediately melted into the air.

The emperor seemed surprised, but before his spirit could even show a look of astonishment, the killing intent had already arrived.

"Oh dear, it's a hidden weapon." The emperor let out a cheerful laugh.

Given the emperor's abilities, he could certainly realize that the entities that attacked his main body were several flying objects.

In the world of psionicists, such weapons are common. Psionicists control their movements with their telekinesis, granting them the ability to harass, assassinate, and attack in groups without leaving a trace.

Of course, you could also install automated machinery on the blades to turn them into assassination drones, but compared to pre-set programs and the judgment of artificial intelligence, the superhumans still trust their intuition and telekinesis more.

However, in high-level matches, this flying item is of little use.

In a confrontation between high-level psychics, not a single ounce of physical or mental energy is superfluous, so how could there possibly be room for telekinetic manipulation?

That's how it should have been.

However, it was as if they had completely ignored the flight process, and silently returned to reality from the undetectable dimension, and then pierced the emperor's spirit.

They seem to have come simultaneously from the cracks of time, from the blind spots of vision and the dead angles of intuition.

They are peculiar flying machines capable of traversing space and dimensions, and also wondrous weapons that can directly slash through dimensions. The twelve sword pellets of dawn drew thousands of tracks that tore through space within a small area.

Each of its individual parts seems to exist simultaneously on multiple dimensional levels, and at this moment, guided by a trace of spiritual power, it is carrying out a coordinated attack that transcends the laws of conventional physics.

Yes, it was just a trace of spiritual energy.

"A wondrous weapon. It must be a relic of the Enlightened Ones," the Emperor remarked.

He didn't feel at all that the opponent's use of the Enlightened One's weapon was an unfair victory. And his response remained calm and unhurried, without any change whatsoever.

He hovered in the air like a great flag, causing all the sharp dimensional strikes to crash into an invisible dimensional labyrinth, like bullets falling into the deep sea, suddenly losing all speed and killing intent.

The bad news is that the seemingly indestructible spiritual blade, like a flying insect trapped in transparent amber, is stuck in the void surrounding the emperor's spirit, unable to move forward or backward.

The good news is that Yu Lian can still sense the presence of the dimensional orbs, and can even still control them with his mental power. As the "first wives" of a psionicist, they are very loyal. "Dawn" has not dissipated, but its light has been obscured by dark clouds, but when it will shine again is a matter of opinion.

Yu Lian tried to use the mental power attached to them to pull them back to the real world, but the guiding mental power that extended from their perception was like hitting a bottomless vortex, almost pulling his own spiritual essence in as well.

However, at the crucial moment, he managed to calm himself down and solemnly withdrew his senses from the scene.

Is this the difference in the realm of true gods?
Although this creature is now reduced to a single earthbound spirit, its will remains omnipresent, like spacetime itself encompassing all things, transcending rules, controlling rules, and even creating rules. Even though "Dawn" possesses the power to cut through space and traverse dimensions, it still cannot break through the rules established by the Emperor's existence.

However, Yu Lian became even more excited.

In both lifetimes, if we disregard the illusory objects and the cosmic Leviathan, this is the first time he has ever faced a real ninth-ringed opponent alone, even if it is only a ninth-ringed opponent with low health.

Every encounter with such a being is a completely new experience.

This is truly delightful.

What was even more gratifying was that even though all his attacks were completely neutralized, he still managed to keenly detect a fleeting sense of disharmony.

The emperor's spirit still exudes sublime divinity.

The absolute domain that his spiritual energy unleashed was formless and boundless, yet as vast as the starry sea. It was as if he was creating an absolute domain that belonged entirely to him, where all the rules depended on his own words.

However, the moment the emperor's will forcefully smoothed out all dimensional fluctuations, it wasn't so smooth.

Otherwise, how could one so easily extricate oneself from the territory one has ventured into?
If a flawless mirror has even the slightest, barely perceptible scratch, it cannot be called perfect. If it is imperfect, are the rules governing divinity truly so sublime and flawless?
I've tried many times to take on challenges beyond my current level, and now it's time to include the nine-ring in this range as well.

Even a nine-ring ring with low health is still a nine-ring ring!
That being said, he was only certain that the seemingly unshakeable spiritual sea of ​​stars had a flaw. However, figuring out how to shake it would require some careful consideration of the methods and approaches.

What should I do?

However, the emperor's spirit waved his hand, and the light spear that had fallen into the pond leaped out of the water and landed in Yu Lian's hand.

Why abandon it?

"To experience nothingness," Yu Lian said with a smile.

"To try to perceive nothingness by relying on external things is a low-level approach," the emperor said.

"I know, so I just did it on the spur of the moment. It looks cooler this way."

The emperor chuckled, and the spirit's hand, seemingly casually clenching, tore open the void and pulled out a long object from the crack.

It was a halberd made entirely of crystal, or perhaps a cluster of crystals in the shape of a halberd. The main shaft was straight and sturdy, but at the tip it branched out into a spear-like main blade and more than ten spreading thorns of varying lengths, like the branches of a pine tree, which looked awe-inspiring.

"Oh, the Phoenix-Winged Gilded Halberd!" Yu Lian exclaimed, indicating that this was the first time he had ever seen such a weapon in reality. Of course, he knew that it was actually a type of spear, the weapon most proficiently used by the Star Knights.

"Given my current state, I'm afraid it's difficult to win you over with fancy tricks, so let's use the most legitimate method."

Yu Lian twitched his lips, then let out a soft "heh," and revealed his light blade. To his surprise, he found his heart racing. This wasn't out of fear, but rather an excitement that made him tremble to his very core.

He had realized that if he used a sword, his situation would be even more dangerous.

But isn't that even more delightful?

Yu Lianheng passed the blade of light, no longer meeting the emperor's gaze, but staring intently at the center of the crystal spear shaft—the very spot where the inevitable attack and feint had begun.

Of course, he also urgently summoned his girl. Under these circumstances, only a fool would dare to fight this old monster who had honed his martial arts for over two hundred years. Naturally, he would need another person who was quite familiar with the Imperial martial arts.

The saying goes, "When husband and wife work together, their strength can break even metal."

As for the high priest, let him go if you can't kill him. In this war, he was actually just an observer with little fighting spirit.

I want to cross mountains with my girl! To liberate the entire universe! Hooray!
But instead of Fei Fei responding, it was another familiar voice: "Alright, alright, stop rushing. Look outside! There's someone even more ruthless coming!"

So you did show up after all!
