40,000 Years of Cultivation

Li Yao had a feeling of wanting to scratch his head.

Why does it seem that wherever I go, there are always troubles?

Only this time, the situation of the true human empire is more convoluted and complicated than the situation in the past of the Flying Star Realm, the Blood Demon Realm, the Federation, and the Ancient Sage Realm.

This is a huge vortex involving hundreds of worlds and thousands of star-sea battleships.

Frowning, Li Yao felt that the "Blood League Event" was not simple.

However, he was more interested in the content of the flyers distributed by the Blood League, thought about it, and asked, "Yes, this flyer says that Dongfang Tuo intends to make peace with the Holy League, so he is a great traitor to the empire, despicable and shameless. The capitulating faction, is this true or not?"

"Whether Dongfang Tuo made peace with the Shengmeng, or even secretly contacted the Shengmeng, this is naturally unknown, but he is indeed the leader of peace. He has repeatedly proposed in the Senate to end the war as soon as possible, and even got stuck in logistics and peace. The transportation of munitions was used to curb the mindless advance of some fleets, and it also offended many frontline officers. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Blood League regards him as the first assassination target."

Li Linghai said, "Of course, Dongfang Tuo is only a representative of the overall interests of the four major electoral families. The current situation is that the four major electoral families want to end the war as soon as possible, and the small and medium aristocrats, landlords, and emerging warlords on the periphery of the empire But they still want to continue the offensive. The two sides are in a stalemate, and the contradiction is intensifying day by day."

Li Yao was startled slightly: "Why is this?"

"It's very simple. The four major electoral families want to divide up the dozens of large worlds that have just been restored as soon as possible, and determine and solidify each other's interests and even their spheres of influence-if you want to share the benefits, you naturally need a stable environment. If the frontline is still fighting day and night, there is no way to distribute the benefits."

Li Linghai explained, "But for the small and medium-sized aristocrats and emerging warlords in the outer world of the empire, they do not have much confidence. The lair is too far away, and they don't have enough force projection and material transmission capabilities to guard and operate these planets, and sooner or later they will be taken away by others.

"In other words, the dozens of great worlds that have worked so hard to recover in the past ten years are destined to fall into the belly of the four major electoral families.

"But it's different if you continue to attack.

"Recovering a new planet will be able to dig three feet into the ground, raid all the resources on this planet, hide them in your fleet, or transmit them back to your lair through secret channels.

"Not to mention that the accumulated battle exploits can also be used as bargaining chips, and can also falsely report battle losses and get a lot of supplements from the rear.

"As for the follow-up construction and operation of this planet, it is not a matter of these warlord fleets.

"Think about it, if you are a realm master in the outer world of the empire, a warlord with a miscellaneous fleet, are you willing to continue raiding like this, or end the war and go back to your poor country to drink the northwest wind?

"Many times, the Holy League may not even implement the'scorched earth strategy' on the planets they abandoned, but the imperial army that restored these planets carried out devastating looting, and then lied that the planet was already a piece of scorched earth—— What can the expeditionary army base camp do with these insatiable and rebellious guys?

"All the miscellaneous army and local warlords do this. The direct line of the four major electors' families can still sweep away the miscellaneous army and local warlords?"

Li Yao pondered for a long time: "Understood, the four major electoral families hope to use the miscellaneous army and local warlords to be in the forefront, to open up the territory for the empire, that is, for them, and also to weaken the power of the miscellaneous army and local warlords. ; But the miscellaneous army and the local warlords are neither good, nor fools, but they squeezed out the value of the new territory, and then lied about how many battleships they had lost, and urgently needed supplies and even weapons. They finally returned with a full load, but called The four major electors’ families are holding their backs and wiping their bottoms—all in all, neither of them is a good bird."

"Yes, although the language is crude, but you sum it up very correctly."

The corner of Li Linghai's mouth couldn't help but evoke a sardonic smile, saying, "The four major electoral families have ruled the empire for hundreds of years, but they regard others as monkeys and pigs, thinking that they can play tricks on the world at will.

"Perhaps at the beginning of the war, they did hold on to what you just said, hoping that the miscellaneous army and the local warlords could ‘precurse the king’ and fight against the Holy League, and they would be able to reap the benefits.

"But they underestimated two points. The first is the insatiable **, cunning and cunning of the miscellaneous army and local warlords, and the second is the resistance of the Holy League.

"During the centuries of expansion of the real human empire, it has encountered several powerful cultivator countries and independent regimes. In the end, they all defeated their enemies in a devastating way. By the standards of these former enemies, dozens The industrial world has been captured, the main force fleet has been defeated and defeated again and again. The so-called "will to resist" should be nothing left, and it must be obediently surrendered.

"But the Holy League is obviously not any country that the empire has ever conquered.

"Shengmeng can be said to be fanatics of the Pangu tribe who absolutely believes in their true gods; they can also be said to be a flesh-and-blood machine that obliterates humanity, without the concept of fear and pain.

"Whether it is a fanatic or a flesh-and-blood machine, how can it choose to surrender?

"So, even if dozens of great worlds have been lost, even if several main fleets have become scattered in the rout, there is still no sign of instability in the Holy League. It seems that this millennium war will continue for another millennium. It doesn't matter what it looks like."

Li Yao said, "But the empire can't stand it anymore?"

Li Linghai smiled bitterly: "Yes, no matter how many differences there are between the cultivators and the cultivators, at least we are all people with seven emotions and free thoughts. We will suffer and resist. The empire has already shed too much blood in this war. The national economy is on the verge of collapse. Therefore, the war must be ended as soon as possible in any case. Otherwise, not only will the frontline be unguarded, even the dozens of large worlds that have just been acquired may be lost again, and even endanger the hinterland of the empire. !

"Although I admire the patriotic enthusiasm of the front-line young officers, on this point, I actually hold the same position as Dongfang Tuo, the four major electoral families-I am not a fanatical war monger. The war must end. If there is any possibility of making peace with the Saint League, I will try it."

Li Yaoqi said: "It's possible to make peace with the Saints... is it possible?"

"Why is it impossible?"

Li Linghai said indifferently, "The war between the empire and the holy alliance has not been fighting every year, and the two sides always stop and breathe, otherwise, no matter the empire or the holy alliance, it would have been wiped out long ago."

Li Yao can accept Li Linghai's statement intellectually, but still a little unacceptable emotionally: "I just think that the imperial people and the Saint Allies negotiated... a bit weird."

"So, is it not surprising that a cultivator and a cultivator are talking on the flagship of the'Empire Rebel'?"

Li Linghai glanced at Li Yao, "Whether I am or in the four major electoral families, there are a lot of realists. For a realist,'idea' is never the first consideration,'interests 'Yes, as long as there is enough interest, let alone holy ally or cultivator, why can't cooperate with the heavenly demons outside the territory, at least for a temporary truce?"

Li Yao was speechless.

He seemed to be thankful that Li Linghai, the empress of the empire, was not a "fundamentalist" cultivator.

If it is the purest kind of immortal cultivator, I am afraid to see him the first side of this cultivator, should he draw a sword and chop him?

After sorting out some messy thoughts a bit, Li Yao nodded and said: "Understood, what should we do now?"

Li Linghai had a deep gaze, staring at Li Yao for a long time, as if he had made a desperate decision, and said every word: "Can I absolutely trust you?"

Li Yao said frankly: "If what you do is really good for all ordinary people in the empire as you said earlier, then you can absolutely trust me."

"it is good!"

Li Linghai's gaze shrank, as if it had been turned into two dust-covered swords for a long time, but once it was out of its sheath, it was still a sword with hair-breaking hair. He said in a deep voice, "Let us'innovatives' come to power. It's more beneficial.

"But with the'Blood League Incident', our business is in jeopardy!

"I left the imperial capital in secret this time to kill Li Lingfeng, leaving a specially trained substitute in the imperial capital, which can be dealt with in general, but when encountering this kind of disorder, it will definitely expose flaws.

"We have been driven to a dead end. We have no choice but to show off in advance!

"Our strength has not yet been accumulated, and the risk of an early showdown is naturally great. The next is extremely dangerous and **** battles. At this time of life and death, you are such a powerful person who has the dual talents of fighting and refining. It is undoubtedly our trump card, with the power to reverse the world!

"Vulture Li Yao, I can promise you in the name of the queen of the empire, as long as you are willing to work together with our fellow Taoists of the'renovationist' to tide over the difficulties and seize the entire empire, everything you want will be okay. I won’t be stingy, even if there are benefits that you did not expect!"

Li Yao blinked: "Uh, for example?"

"such as……"

Li Linghai smiled slightly and said, "Three days ago, an empire veteran unfortunately fell. It is expected that within a year and a half, hundreds of empire veterans will fall one by one, and the five hundred seats in the empire Senate. Perhaps more than half of the vacancies will be vacant and new veterans are urgently needed to fill in.

"Have you ever thought about becoming an empire veteran?"
