My Endless Life.

Chapter 621 Past
Few of the younger generation know this.

When the Empress was just a princess with the right to inherit the throne, she had a twin brother.

Unlike the Empress, the younger brother was quiet, rarely saw people, and seemed to have no ambition. He did not compete with the Empress for the right to inherit the throne, and therefore few people knew about him.

After the Queen ascended the throne, her twin brother rarely appeared in public, and over time, rumors began to circulate that he had passed away.

However, since the Queen never held a funeral for him, such rumors were all treated as gossip.

Decades have passed, and the Queen's twin brother has disappeared without a trace, gradually fading from public view.

Many people even say that perhaps the Queen never had a twin brother in the first place, and that it was just a rumor fabricated to undermine her prestige.

However, the appearance of the nameless person has reminded everyone of the 'rumors' from decades ago.

The Queen really does have a twin brother!

“Igna, I searched for you for so long after you disappeared. All these years... I thought you were dead. I never expected you to be alive…”

The Empress spoke with a sigh, her words devoid of any joy at the siblings' reunion, instead conveying a sense of complexity and melancholy.

The nameless man walked to Grisis, who looked shocked, and naturally took the cane from his hand. He then looked up to meet the Queen's gaze.

"You're not dead yet, how could I possibly be dead?"

“Igna, you seem to have some misunderstanding about me…”

"My name is now Wuming (Nameless)."

Wuming interrupted the Queen, then turned to look at Grisis beside him: "You don't need to worry about me taking your throne. I only want revenge now."

"Revenge?" The Empress laughed upon hearing this. "I believe I treated you well in the past and never wronged you. Now you want revenge against me?"

"Yes, you are indeed 'good' to me. From food and clothing to shelter and daily entertainment, you give me whatever I want. But... you never allow me to go out or see my father. I will always remember that."

As Wuming spoke softly, the two of them laid bare the events of that year before everyone in just a few words.

The empress remained silent this time. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she were smiling, but the smile also seemed somewhat bitter.

Seeing this, Wuming continued, "I know what you're afraid of. You're afraid that I'll gain the right to inherit the throne and take away the throne you've always dreamed of."

The Queen did not deny this.

The Empress and the Nameless One are rare twins in the royal family. What's even rarer is that both of them are exceptionally talented and intelligent. If they can grow up smoothly, they will surely become shining twin stars of the empire.

However, precisely because both of them were so outstanding, they both had an unimaginable obsession and desire for the throne.

Therefore, even twins are wary and hostile towards each other.

But in fact, Wuming did not initially intend to target the Empress. He and the Empress were siblings, and before the other princes and princesses with the right to inherit the throne were defeated, the two of them could have joined forces.

To Wuming's surprise, his sister was exceptionally talented.

So outstanding that it's frightening.

Before Wuming could even begin to act, the power of the original princes and princesses began to shrink dramatically. At the same time, the empress, who knew Wuming's intentions, began to imprison him for more than a decade.

—You are my brother, I don't want to kill you, so you can stay here forever.

These are the words the Empress spoke when she imprisoned the Nameless One.

The way the Empress spoke back then was just like now, with a smile on her face and a very gentle demeanor, like an older sister who cares for her younger brother.

But in reality, her thoughts were more insidious and ruthless than anyone else's.

The previous emperor was deceived by her, believing that she would become a wise and virtuous ruler and bring prosperity to the empire. So, after the empress eliminated all her rivals, the previous emperor decisively handed over the throne to her.

He himself went to explore the world's oceans.

This was also one of the final destinations of emperors throughout history.

Throughout history, emperors who lacked talent in cultivation would commit suicide after abdicating, so that their souls and consciousness could be engraved in the royal family genealogy, awaiting awakening by their descendants.

If someone has exceptional talent and achieves an eighth or ninth level of cultivation within a century, then after abdicating, they will go to the World Sea to find a new world for the empire.

Therefore, the previous emperor could not be seen in the empire.

This rule was established by the imperial family to prevent the previous emperor from interfering with the current emperor's decisions.

Emperors throughout history have all been extremely talented individuals, and thus, when they abdicated, they embarked on journeys to explore the world's oceans.

The previous emperor passed the throne to the empress and went to the Sea of ​​the World, so he was unable to witness the empress's methods after ascending the throne.

The first ten years of the Empress's reign were arguably the bloodiest decade in the empire's history.

She executed anyone who disobeyed her, even some princes and princesses who had once been her enemies.

He won over the prime minister and ministers, suppressed the council of elders, and stifled all dissenting voices within the empire.

The empress ruled the empire with iron-fisted methods for nearly a century!
Wuming wondered if the previous emperor, their father, would regret his choice if he knew what the empress was doing now.

"What's the point of saying all this now that things have come to this?"

The Empress spoke calmly.

The past is the past, and the Empress has been on the throne for less than ten years. Even if Wuming succeeds in a coup here now, given his current status, he will not be able to obtain the throne.

So what use is his presence here?

revenge?

Looking back now at what the Queen did, all she did was imprison him in a house and prevent him from going out.

Now that Nameless has regained his freedom and the Empress has been on the throne for nearly a century and is about to abdicate, what use is Nameless's appearance now?

And then he created this so-called Revival Society... What does he want to revive? The ancient empire? It's laughable.

"Yes, what's the use of telling you all this? Your rotten and filthy nature can't be changed." Nameless sighed softly.

The Empress smiled and said, "Even if you are my brother, I will still get angry if you say that to me."

"I hate people like you who always have that fake smile on their face...it's disgusting!"

On the nameless man's face, which bore a striking resemblance to the Empress, lay an expression of disgust that the Empress would never show.

With a wave of his cane, hundreds of mechanical soldiers flew out from behind him and swarmed toward the empress sitting on the high throne.

Each of these mechanical soldiers possesses an eighth-tier strength, clearly indicating that this is one of Nameless's trump cards.

However, faced with the nameless attack, the Queen merely sighed softly, her lips, though unadorned yet still vibrant, lightly touching up and down:

"Stop."

clang--

Like the sound of a falling bell, invisible ripples spread forward, and in that instant, all the machinery froze in mid-air.

It was as if time had been frozen.

Word magic... or more accurately, the ability to make words come true, is a rule that the Empress comprehended.

And she's almost completely mastered this rule!

"It seems you're still a long way from getting your revenge on me, my dear brother."

The empress, who had brought all the machinery to a standstill, finally smiled at the nameless one.

Wuming didn't say a word; he simply put his helmet back on silently and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, countless wormholes appeared behind him, and a dense fleet flew out from the wormholes!
……

The missing arm was quickly restored by Brina.

The mech pilot's regenerative ability is linked to their mech. After fully fusing with their mech at Tier 6, the mech pilot is no longer an ordinary life form.

Even if the heart is shattered and the head is blown off, as long as consciousness remains and the mecha is still intact, the individual can recover to normal.

Brena's mecha is one of the twelve ancient inherited mechas, and it is said that it once had power above the ninth rank, so it is impossible for it to be easily erased by Li Qi's 'power'.

Since the mecha's arm was fine, Brina's arm would naturally recover quickly as well.

Despite this, Brina did not dare to attack Richard, who possessed power.

According to the coordinates, power is a very unreasonable thing.

To what extent are they unreasonable?
To put it simply, if someone can master their powers, then even if they are an ordinary person without any spiritual cultivation, they can still fight against a ninth-tier expert!
Yes, that's how unreasonable it is!
Logically speaking, ordinary people should never be able to fight against strong people. Even disregarding the abilities of both sides, the physical qualities of ordinary people are simply no match for those of high-level experts.

However, power doesn't care about any of that.

You can kill that ordinary person, that's true, but an ordinary person can also kill you through their power.

It's all about who can attack first; it all comes down to the speed and reaction time of both sides.

What's even more absurd is that some powers can forcefully elevate the reaction speed and reaction ability of ordinary people to the same level as that of a ninth-tier powerhouse!

If that's the case, then all you need to do is comprehend power, so why bother with the arduous cultivation process?
That's the problem!
Power is something that only people above the ninth rank have a 'chance' of comprehending, and many people above the ninth rank do not even possess power.

Ordinary people simply cannot directly comprehend power.

Unless... he has some extraordinary encounter.

"what……"

Thinking of this, Brina sighed deeply.

Seeing Li Qi reach out and grasp at something in the air, Brina knew that he was probably using his powers to do something.

Brina didn't know what Li Qi's powers were, but to be on the safe side, she treated him as a ninth-level expert of the same or even stronger level as herself.

After all, Li Qi and Xinlian combined to form a seventh-level strength. The reaction speed of a seventh-level person can barely keep up with that of an eighth-level person. If he had any move that could kill in one blow, Brina might die here.

and so--

"I quit!" Brina raised her hands. "I quit! I quit!"

"What?" Taking advantage of Brina's momentary daze, Li Qi, who was planning to create more spatial swords, was stunned by Brina's actions.

Brina twisted her body and said, "I just came here on a field mission, to make the Empire and the rebels fight more fiercely according to the boss's orders... I didn't expect to die here, so I quit! Do whatever you want, please do as you please, I won't keep you company."

Brina surrendered without any resistance.

This kind of 'decisiveness' left Li Qi stunned for a long time, but he had no intention of letting Brina go.

Li Qi was very concerned about the 'boss' the other party mentioned.

Without saying a word, Li Qi decided to keep the other party here first, and then discuss other matters.

However, Brina seemed to have read Richard's mind, and she said with a grin:

"Don't think about it anymore. If I want to run, no one can stop me. Besides... we'll meet again in the future. Next time... we might really become comrades~ Goodbye~"

After Brina finished speaking, the spatial lines trembled slightly, and her figure disappeared.

Li Qi was left alone in the air, staring silently at the spot where Brina had left.
