I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Chapter 732 Integration

The opportunity to speak personally with the highest leader of an empire is not so common.

Now that they have the chance, everyone naturally wants to talk to Irani about all sorts of questions that have arisen in the past.

Why did Irani issue various policies? What was her thought process behind them? Did the situation after the policies were issued match her expectations?

What is it like to be the supreme commander of the Xandar Empire?

They wanted to ask them gossipy questions like these.

Moreover, they had overheard the discussion between Lacey and the others.

Irani joined the Cult of the Void most likely with a mission in mind.

There are only a handful of public officials in the Void God Cult.

Now that Irani is likely to become the new one, how can they not be curious and want to find out more?

However, most of the members in the cafeteria, upon hearing Kyle and Ilani's words, didn't hesitate to run over and ask them questions.

Afterwards, Irani sat down at a table with Lacey and the others.

"Miss Ilani, have you now considered yourself to have abdicated?"

Lacey took the initiative to start the conversation.

Lacey's question made the other members around her prick up their ears.

The supreme commander of the Xandar Empire changes every century on average, and each change is a historic event that causes considerable shock.

If someone like Irani were to abdicate, the resulting uproar would be enough to shake the universe.

Now that Irani has joined the Cult of the Void, will she step down or continue to serve as the Supreme Commander?

It was one of the questions they most wanted answered after learning that Ilani had been blessed.

"Not yet, but things have already started to move forward."

Ilani noticed that the people around her didn't rush over directly, but they all seemed to be listening intently. Instead of feeling nervous or pressured, she smiled with complete composure.

She knew that once the Heart of the World expanded its selection pool, it wouldn't be long before it found someone with the potential to replace her.

Ordinary people might be reluctant to accept the position of Supreme Commander, but in fact, not all commanders in the history of the Xandar Empire wanted to step down.

After all, being in power for a year can bring a lot of benefits to the faction behind him.

Behind every supreme commander is a faction, eight or nine out of ten.

However, Irani did not, because her principles and balances always represented the interests of all members of the Xandar Empire.

Balancing the interests of so many people is never an easy task, but rather an almost impossible one.

It is precisely because she accomplished these things during her years in office that she is considered a legend.

Ilani undoubtedly knows why she is considered a legend.

If she didn't even know this, she wouldn't have the reputation she has today.

The Heart of the World heard and saw everything through Ilani's cosmic communicator, but it did not utter a word.

It is simply examining the life stories of many outstanding individuals who were not previously considered.

There is a rumor, or rather an ironclad rule, in the Xandar Empire.

Those who pass the Nova Legion's test have already filtered out countless people; those who can enter the Nova Legion are all enlightened individuals.

This rumor is no longer an ironclad rule.

Where there are people, there are interpersonal relationships and social customs. Especially within the faction-ridden New Star Legion, there are not only interpersonal relationships and social customs, but also situations similar to mutual protection among officials.

Except for the time when the Xandar Empire was founded and everyone was of one mind.

Even with the calculation capabilities of the World's Heart, it's impossible for anyone to truly unify the entire army in the future.

The probability of such a person appearing is only 0.000001.

However, Irani, through her genuine desire for peace, skillful means, high level of awareness, and countless hours of hard work and self-discipline, managed to achieve it over a century.

After unification, the efficiency of the entire Xandar Empire improved significantly.

Various policies and the prestige of the Xandar Empire rose rapidly in just over two hundred years.

If the Heart of the World has never seen anyone capable of doing such a thing.

It would also believe that such a person could not possibly exist in the world.

But having witnessed it firsthand, it's hard for people to accept old and outdated technology once they're exposed to better technology.

While some people may have a sense of nostalgia, the vast majority have adapted to new technologies, and the same principle applies to people.

We witnessed the emergence of an outstanding leader whose talent spans ten thousand years.

The standards for judging the next leader will unconsciously rise, meaning that the successor lives in the shadow of the predecessor and finds it difficult to surpass them.

The person who succeeds Ilani as the next Supreme Commander will face immense pressure from public opinion.

According to the assessment of the Heart of the World, there are many outstanding talents in the Nova Corps, and many of them have the potential to become the Supreme Commander.

However, none of them were calculated by the Heart of the World to be able to do a better job than Irani.

Calculations show that these talented individuals' ability to withstand pressure is far below the passing grade.

The position of Supreme Commander of the Xandar Empire is not an easy one.

A casual remark could make countless people rich overnight, countless people unemployed, and cause discord within the empire.

You might not realize it at first, but after it happens...

The pressure exerted by the countless people of the empire and various factions was enough to leave them starving and sleepless. Even when they did fall asleep, they were often accompanied by nightmares, eventually leading to mental health problems.

Throughout history, most supreme commanders have been ambitious before taking office, but after assuming their positions, they have become very cautious and influenced by numerous factors.

That's why the selection of the next commander takes an average of one hundred years, which is why the Heart of the World has been delayed year after year.

Of course, let alone a hundred years, even ten thousand years would be nothing more than a blink of an eye for the Heart of the World.

Even if its physical form perishes, its consciousness can live on forever on the internet.

It's just that its computing power will be greatly weakened after its physical body dies.

However, more than two hundred years is enough for an ordinary person from the Xandar Empire to live out their entire life.

If it weren't for Kassadin, the god of the void, personally recruiting her and bestowing upon Illani his blessing.

The Heart of the World could only watch helplessly as Irani, a woman of unparalleled talent who had become a great figure in history, grew old year by year and eventually passed away.

The limitless computing power brought by the supercomputer brought the joys and sorrows of ordinary humans to the heart of the world.

While judgments about a person can be rational, they can also be based on personal feelings or preferences.

Irani is undoubtedly someone the Heart of the World greatly admires.

But Irani was about to die, something it wanted to do but was powerless to change.

Therefore, it did not try to dissuade Ilani from joining the Cult of the Void.

It hoped that Irani could continue to live.

However, Irani, who survived, could never again dedicate herself to the Xandar Empire as selflessly as she has now.

It's time to lower the standards a bit and take a look at other candidates for supreme commander.

But you know what, once the selection criteria expand beyond the rule that candidates must be members of the Nova Corps...

After calculation, the Heart of the World quickly found a number of outstanding talents who met most of the criteria.

Among them, Ming Ding, the 71-year-old successor cultivated by the behind-the-scenes owner of the Xandar Empire Celebrity Hotel, meets almost all of the more than one hundred criteria.

This famous man is impeccable in every way, whether in terms of knowledge, ability, courage, or even his character.

The owner behind the Celebrity Hotel has strict requirements for his employees.

The requirements for their offspring's abilities are extremely stringent, so the talents cultivated are those who can perfectly inherit the huge business of the Celebrity Hotel.

However, there is only one biggest problem: how to persuade this man who will inherit the position in four more years.

It should be noted that the Celebrity Hotel is owned by a powerful family in the Xandar Empire, and has connections with many prominent families and even military officers in the Xandar Empire.

Although his power is not comparable to that of the Supreme Commander of the Xandar Empire, his lifestyle is already at the top level.

Aside from certain contraband items from the Xandar Empire, they basically had everything one could want.

Even the highest commander of the Xandar Empire was not as happy as these celebrities.

After all, being the supreme commander requires self-discipline.

Would someone like that really be willing to take on the role of the supreme commander of the Xandar Empire and bear that immense pressure?

The Heart of the World is frantically calculating based on this person's life story, deeds, personality traits, and so on, trying to find the statement that will move him the most.

This led to the decision for this renowned company to abandon its current stable position and join the Rising Star Legion for a series of tests.

After considering various theories and conditions, the Heart of the World felt that the success rate was not very high.

Therefore, the Heart of the World intends to use the simplest and most effective thing: power.

First, lure this famous cauldron over to participate in the test. Once you're on board, getting off won't be so easy.

The thought of the Heart of the World only crossed my mind.

Meanwhile, Ming Ding, the second son of the owner behind the Celebrity Hotel, is currently in a manor above a floating city in the Xandar Empire.

A handsome, black-haired man with a slicked-back hairstyle was reviewing documents in the darkness when he suddenly felt a chill that made him shiver. Looking at his hands, he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Qiu Yu, please prepare a fighter jet registered under someone else's name for me."

"Also, call my stand-in over; I need him to stay here for a while."

Ming Ding said without hesitation.

"Yes, young master."

"But what's wrong with you all of a sudden?"

The woman known as Qiuyu is a woman with an intellectual beauty and refined temperament.

"I feel like I'm being watched by something."
