Chapter 1644 A sudden whim
Two planetary governors were assassinated...the situation was so serious that it almost got out of control.
The Empire could no longer sit idly by and ordered the military to contact Digital Phantom through the Dawn Base.
This is the most formal channel. There are always people at the base. This time it was Qing Hu who came forward to communicate.
The head of the military was just a supreme leader, but he was a little overwhelmed this time, so he spoke much more directly.
"My Lord, you should put away your magical powers. The empire only has a few habitable planets, and now two consuls have been assassinated."
Things have developed to this point, and Qing Hu will naturally not deny his responsibility.
She said calmly, "First of all, we must make it clear that throughout the development of this incident, we have been provoked."
"And it is impossible for the other party not to know our demands."
"Not only do they disagree, but they continue to push for some bullshit proposal. Are they bullying me, Digital Phantom, because I am not sharp enough?"
"There's no need to say more. We admit that we underestimated the Archons' desire to survive. We won't make the same mistake again."
What kind of bullshit is this! The military leader was sweating when he heard this.
Were you guys provoked the whole time? It seems like you were the ones who did the killing in the beginning?
There are also related proposals... Isn't the purpose of the empire's administrators initiating proposals to maintain order?
The scariest thing, of course, is "underestimating the desire to survive" and "never making similar mistakes again"...
So you still want to continue killing?
You know, there is no shortage of people from the Imperial Capital Academy in the power center of the empire. Don’t you want to let them go?
"My Lord, please listen to me," the military supreme said, "The empire can no longer be in chaos."
"The culprit for the incident in the Sirius region has been brought to justice, and the relevant persons responsible are also being investigated intensively."
"The two assassinations of planetary governors can be considered accidental incidents by the authorities and will not be pursued any further."
"The pressure of not pursuing the matter is actually very great. My Lords, this is the greatest sincerity from the authorities!"
You can't think that because the other party killed the star domain governor, you can retaliate by killing the planet governor with a clear conscience.
The murderer over there is already dead... We don't have any plans against you, so you'd better quit while you're ahead.
Qing Hu is essentially a reasonable person. At the very least, she recognizes the other party's basic logic.
However, this matter is not simply a question of right or wrong.
So she answered in a deep voice, "The troubles they have brought us are still continuing, and they don't seem to be stopping."
"We have already conveyed our proposed conditions, but they acted as if they didn't hear us. They have no respect at all."
"You guys are challenging me, Digital Phantom, and yet you want us to stop... I just want to ask, why?"
The military supreme officer hesitated for a moment and replied, "We will force them to carry out the conditions you proposed."
Then he took a deep breath and said, "But the trouble you are referring to, if it is a proposal, I am afraid it is impossible to change it."
"This is the proper function of imperial society. All the government can do is not to push it and try to let bygones be bygones."
"However, these promises can only be expressed verbally. As for the specific reasons, I believe you are also clear."
"The above is the official message I am delivering. As a soldier, I just want to say one thing... there are still powerful enemies out there."
The military should not interfere in politics; their mission is on the battlefield.
Qing Hu was silent for a while before he snorted, "As a soldier, it's a pity that you are so eloquent."
"Although we are disgusted by the official's petty manipulation, since it is the military that has stepped forward, we can give them another chance!"
Upon hearing this, the officer finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you very much!"
The Digital Phantom's attitude was quickly reported, including Qing Hu's own reaction.
What the government cares most about is the resentment in the Digital Phantom's heart and what it actually includes.
But in the end, the question came down to one thing: Who would tell Bashar?
This kind of thing that offends people... is wrong, it is something that can force people to death, who can do such a thing?
If it was just an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Bashar's qualifications, influence, and age...
Someone suggested maliciously, "Since this is feedback from the military, let the military tell you."
But some people expressed dissatisfaction, saying, "The military has done its best to secure the proposal for exploration rights, right?"
The intensity of the Digital Phantom's reaction and the ferocity of its revenge truly exceeded the imagination of the empire's top brass.
Before this, their perception of this team was just "mysterious and powerful."
The key is that the known information shows that this team does not intersect with any wealth resources in society.
They do own some energy stone mines, but they are only for their own use and have never been circulated to the society, so they will not have any impact on the market order.
As for this team collecting the divine resources needed for cultivation, all we can say is... this is the instinctive behavior of the awakened group.
If anyone would be dissatisfied with them because of this, it would only be the group with the same needs.
For example, organizations like the Shenwen Society.
However, such a group is not the foundation of imperial rule. The fundamental basis of imperial government management is the general public.
Even the most superior group of awakened people are mostly ordinary people who have been genetically modified.
Therefore, what the government values most is the normal order of society.
In this regard, what Digital Phantom has done is a model of not being worldly.
Otherwise, people say they are mysterious. It is because they have nothing to do with worldly interests and ordinary people cannot get in touch with them.
The imperial government also knew that this team was not only strong but also powerful in certain areas.
But they really didn't expect that Digital Phantom would be so violent after attacking Dijing College.
They don't consider at all what impact their actions will have on society.
To put it bluntly, their actions may shake the foundation of the empire's rule!
It turns out that these guys would be fine if they didn't get involved in the world, but once they are provoked, they will not care at all!
Therefore, it is better to let such a terrifying force and such a lawless team live in peace.
In fact, the government’s bottom line is that even proposals for the independence of exploration rights can be shelved in the short term.
Because the difference between the right to explore and the right to prospect is that the former has no impact on social order.
It is either the discovery of some mysterious substances or the discovery of some phenomena and laws, neither of which is something that ordinary interest groups are willing to play with.
Therefore, for the empire, emphasizing the independence of the right of exploration is not a particularly urgent demand.
Of course, even so, being able to retain this proposal also meets the needs of the government.
But the most important thing is that the government was given enough face - they were not forced to make unreasonable concessions under pressure.
However, some people were still dissatisfied. "They have already extended their hands to this aspect. The key point is... the nebula should belong to the empire!"
People who speak like this are too easy to be criticized.
When the military heard this, they sent a message back, "If you have the guts, you can go and discuss the matter with Xingyun in person!"
No matter what, the Digital Phantom's act of revenge this time did make the government feel quite wary.
Some people may see that it is relatively reasonable, but in the eyes of more people, it is a force that is difficult to control and suppress.
Once their interests are affected, they will not consider the government’s taboos and related demands at all!
For a system that emphasizes order, such existence is not a good thing.
Especially after Bashar's suicide, this emotion was quickly guided and vented.
Before the old dean committed suicide, not many people paid attention to it. But after his death, the news quickly spread throughout the academic circle.
This makes it hard to believe that there is no deliberate targeting factor involved.
However, Qu Jianlei and the others have let the matter go - Digital Phantom doesn't care about the outside world's gossip.
Next, they intensified their exploration of the nebula.
At the same time, the team is continuing to follow the trend and practice tactical coordination.
At this time, there were already government and military surveillance starships outside the nebula, but Digital Phantom had no way to drive them away.
Anyway, as long as the other party doesn't get close to the nebula, just ignore it.
In a blink of an eye, ten months have passed.
On this day, Qu Jianlei received a notice that Duogan showed signs of undergoing a tribulation.
So he hurried back and helped to tell the divination, and it was also a sign of good fortune in the midst of bad luck.
Qu Jianlei wanted to make a more detailed divination, but he sensed a hint of threat.
He had a feeling that if he continued calculating, not only would he suffer backlash, but Dorgan would also be affected by him.
When he expressed his feelings, Jiao Daoren and Yi He both thought that this kind of situation was very normal.
Overcoming tribulation is originally a test from heaven and earth to practitioners, and it is full of uncertainty.
Taoist Jiao even said, "If you can even figure out the details of the tribulation, just imagine how much karma you will have to bear?"
"This is cheating. It will not only affect you, but will also backfire on Dorgan."
Dorgan also agreed with this logic, but she was still a little nervous.
Half a year ago, she had refined the aura left behind by the mysterious being and felt that her condition could not be better.
However, when she really had to face the thunder, she couldn't help but think of Jing Yuexin's life facing death.
At one point, she even wanted to follow Jing Yuexin to practice the art of Nirvana.
However, Taoist Jiao dissuaded her - you did not practice Nirvana in the Jindan stage, it is too late now.
There are many spiritual beasts in the Beast Taming Sect, so his words are absolutely trustworthy.
Faced with this situation, Dogan thought for a moment and said, "Boss, can you lend me your cloud crown when I am overcoming the tribulation?"
"It's no problem to lend it to you," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "but the demon inside has not been completely refined yet..."
"Wait, you're not going to use the Heavenly Demon to resist the thunder, are you?"
