"That lady is known as the Queen of Eight Desires in our country..." Ymir said slowly.
Wu Jie frowned: "The Queen of Eight Desires?"
Ymir nodded: "Yes, it is the Queen of Eight Desires."
"What is the difference between the royal family and ordinary Indians?" Wu Jie asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.
Ymir sighed. "The reason they are called royal is that they are chosen by the Lord in Black at birth. Ordinary Insians join the royal family and become future candidates for the throne. Such Insians are rare even on our planet Ins."
"From birth, they have been endowed with inexhaustible resources and status. Not only can they receive a better education from a young age, but they can also learn more advanced methods of controlling source nuclear energy. They are the symbol and representative of our planet Ins's strength."
"Every Insian who joins the royal family must shoulder the mission of expanding Ins. All they have to do is join the invading army and continuously expand Ins' territory. They are extremely powerful."
"By establishing meritorious service, one can obtain Source Core Crystals that will allow for rapid breakthroughs. On our planet Ins, the highest position an ordinary Insian can achieve is that of a minister. To move up, one can only hope for the favor of the Lord in Black. If one can join the royal family later on, one can also enhance one's status and strength."
"On Ins, every royal family possesses immense strength. Even the lowest-ranked royal family possesses greater power than ten Insians combined. To become a True King, they must first become a Sub-King. Once their power is revealed, they must pass the Abyss Trial and receive the Black Lord's blessing before ascending to the throne."
Hearing this, Wu Jie asked, "Does that mean there are many royal families on your planet Ins who hold the throne?"
Ymir shook his head. "No, the throne isn't so easy to inherit. Our planet of Ins has a weak reproductive capacity, and the competition among royal families is fierce. Every year, many royal families perish in the internal struggle."
"Furthermore, the throne is limited to eight, not infinite. After becoming a sub-king, each candidate for the throne must either challenge the existing true king to seize his position, or wait patiently for the old king to die or abdicate for other reasons before they can compete for the throne in the Abyss."
So that's how it is. It seems the royal family isn't very large. Wu Jie asked, "So, of these two, who is the Queen of Eight Desires? The one that was blown in half?"
Wu Jie lifted the photo and pointed at the dying figure on it.
Ymir shook his head. "That one is Lord Ya Wang, whose name is Chao Dun. The one in the sky is Lady Queen of the Eight Desires."
As expected, if it was the real king, this guy named Chaos would not have been seriously injured (Wu Jie knew that the traitors could resurrect the Insians who were not completely dead), and the real biggest threat was the Queen of Eight Desires.
Wu Jie then asked, "Why are there only so many thrones? Can't every sub-king advance to become a true king? If so, wouldn't your planet of Ins possess countless powerful fighting forces?"
Hearing this, Ymir didn't care about Wu Jie's strange question, because her master was originally from Earth, so it was not surprising that she lacked common sense. She was about to speak, but Sissi helped her answer this time.
Sersi said, "Because the throne was given by the Lord in Black."
"Given by the Lord in Black?" Wu Jie was stunned.
Sersi nodded. "We ordinary Insians don't know the specific reason why the number of thrones is limited. However, there are rumors that the Lord in Black was seriously injured in the dream world and is still recovering. Initially, the Lord in Black only granted the Insians four thrones."
"As time passed, after a thousand Indian years, the Lord in Black seemed to be gradually recovering, and the number of thrones increased from the original four to the current eight."
Wu Jie was shocked again, his mind awash with questions. Who exactly was this black-robed lord they kept talking about? Was he a god? Or perhaps some higher-order life form?
If life had been born in a normal universe, how could there be only one person? If there was only one person, how could he possess such powerful powers? And also seem to have such a deep understanding of technology?
If this were natural, it would be incredible. But if it wasn't, then there was only one explanation: was this Lord in Black truly a god?!
No, no, no, absolutely impossible. There must be another reasonable explanation. As an atheist, Wu Jie firmly believed that there must be a reasonable scientific reason behind this, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the irrationality of the Lord in Black.
Also, why must the throne be granted in order for the Insians to become stronger? There's something strange about this, what is it?
Wu Jie couldn't explain it. The existence of this Lord in Black was illogical. If he truly was a god, why didn't he simply unify the universe with his own power? Wouldn't that be more convenient? He could simply spread his teachings throughout the universe. Why bother going through the Indus to conquer other worlds?
Was he injured? If so, what could possibly injure a god? If he could be injured, how could he be a god? Or was he simply injured by another advanced life form, lingering on on Ins, attempting to slowly recover his strength?
Wu Jie shook his confused brain and didn't dare to think about it anymore, because the more he thought about it, the more unreasonable it seemed to him. In the absence of sufficient clues and evidence, randomly guessing the true identity of the Lord in Black would only mislead him in the wrong direction.
Wu Jie took a deep breath and asked, "Have you ever seen the true form of the Lord in Black?"
When these words were spoken, both of them were stunned. They looked at each other, and finally looked at Wu Jie, and shook their heads at the same time.
Wu Jie was about to ask again when Imir spoke first, "Although none of us Indians have ever seen the true form of the Lord in Black, it is said that the first true king of the royal family has seen him. Moreover, there is a statue of the Lord in Black on our Black Sky Altar."
Wu Jie was delighted and quickly said, "Then can you show me the statue of the Lord in Black? Imir, I believe this is not difficult for you to do?"
Imir didn't expect that Wu Jie would have such an idea. He thought, it's just to let the master see the face of the Lord in Black. It shouldn't be considered an offense to the Lord in Black, right?
After looking at Cersei, who seemed to have no objection, Ymir stood up from the bed and came to Wu Jie.
Ymir raised his hand and slowly transformed into a shape...
"Master, please look..."
