“This is… a whole new power.”
Palpatine stared at his hands, unable to suppress his inner excitement. He raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror. In the mirror, he was a gentle old man who looked to be in his 50s or 60s, with white hair. This was also Palpatine's original image.
It's just that a long time ago, because of practicing the dark force, Palpatine's body was corroded by darkness and had long become unbearable to look at. This is also the biggest reason why he always wears a black hood to cover his face. But Palpatine didn't expect that this new way of using the force would actually allow him to return to his youth!
Well, that's not strictly speaking young.
But Palpatine could still feel this power. It was not a violent and powerful force like the dark force, but a completely new feeling. He could feel that his aging body had become strong again, and his sluggish nerves had become sensitive again. For an old man, this was already a miracle.
"Congratulations."
Fang Zheng stood by with a smile, looking at the three people in front of him. Palpatine and Darth Vader both gained considerable benefits from this Force Storm. Only Luke had only been practicing for a short time, so the benefits he gained were far less than the other two. However, considering his age, it was already quite good.
"I should thank you, Mr. Founder."
Palpatine withdrew his gaze and looked at Fang Zheng with a deep expression.
"So, what do you want?"
Palpatine was not ignorant. He knew that Fang Zheng had saved his life just now. If he had not resisted the Force storm, he might have exploded on the spot.
At the same time, Palpatine also understood that the other party did this not just for the sake of doing good things, but for something. As the emperor of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine was not stupid enough to turn against such a powerful force - you know, the other party had helped them block the attack of the Force Storm before, and Palpatine did not think he could face that level of Force Storm even now.
"order."
"……order?"
"That's right, Mr. Palpatine."
Fang Zheng nodded.
"I'm helping you because I want the Galactic Empire to continue to exist. Perhaps you don't know this, but a stable and orderly Galactic Empire is in my best interest. You and Mr. Darth Vader both have the power to stabilize the empire, so I'm helping you. I just hope that you can continue to maintain the entire Galactic Empire and not let it fall into chaos and division. That's the best reward."
"that's all?"
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Palpatine and Darth Vader looked at each other, both feeling a little surprised and confused. They originally thought that Fang Zheng would have some special requests, but they didn't expect him to make such a suggestion... No, it can't even be called a suggestion. After all, this has always been Palpatine's goal.
"Yes, that's it."
Fang Zheng nodded again, then he narrowed his eyes.
"Please don't underestimate my request. Although it seems to be a matter of course at first glance, the significance of order is far more important than you think. Although I can't explain it to you clearly at present, I can tell you, Mr. Palpatine, once order collapses, it will not only destroy you and your Galactic Empire, but also not just the destruction of a political entity. It may involve the destruction of the entire galaxy. The Force storm you are feeling now is just the tip of the iceberg. If you can't maintain it, then the situation will not be so easy next time."
"…So, do you have any good suggestions?"
Hearing this, Palpatine's expression became solemn. He was an ambitious and intelligent politician. Although sometimes Palpatine did things by any means necessary, his ultimate goal was to rule the entire Galactic Empire. However, Fang Zheng's words made Palpatine unable to ignore it - indeed, the Galactic Empire might fall, but as long as he was given a chance, he could make a comeback.
But what if the entire galaxy was destroyed?
What the hell are you going to rule?!
"If I have to give some suggestions, there are some."
Originally Fang Zheng wanted to say that now that Palpatine had asked, he would just go along with it.
"This wave of force storms will have a huge impact on the entire galaxy. If my prediction is correct, many children born during this period should have the ability to manipulate the force."
"oh!?"
Hearing this, Palpatine's eyes flashed and he showed an expression of surprise and joy.
"Really?"
"That's right in theory, so I suggest that you, Mr. Palpatine, start considering building a brand new army now... Also, I personally suggest that it's best to use the current Force creed as a guide to create a brand new school. The Jedi are too conservative, and the Sith are too radical. I think you, Mr. Palpatine, have seen clearly what the outcome of both will be. Personally, I think it would be very beneficial if we could combine the strengths of the Sith and the Jedi to create a brand new Force school."
"Yes...it is true..."
Facing Fang Zheng's suggestion, Palpatine groaned. Although he acted very calm, Fang Zheng could still sense Palpatine's excitement. Seeing this, he also chuckled in his heart.
This suggestion was a good idea. Palpatine liked power and prestige, and was an ambitious man full of ideas. But an ambitious man also had to see the situation. If he was given the right direction, then his ambition would be useful.
Palpatine has now become the emperor of the Galaxy, with power over the world. He has status, power, and wealth. But women - Palpatine doesn't seem to like them. Could he be gay?
Then all that's left is reputation.
Everyone hopes to be immortal, and Palpatine is no exception. But it would be useless if he was just the Galactic Emperor. As the saying goes, royal power is not eternal. In a few decades, Palpatine might die, or the Galactic Empire might collapse for some reason, then his reputation might be submerged in darkness.
But creating an entirely new genre is something entirely different.
Just like the Jedi and the Sith, even if the founders died, their schools would continue to be passed down. Just think about how many Force users would learn their ideas, their knowledge, their skills, and cheer for them in the future - Palpatine was so excited that he could hardly stand!
The Galactic Emperor can do it whenever he wants, but this may be his only chance to be remembered for generations to come!
Thinking of this, Palpatine immediately looked at Darth Vader.
"Lord Vader."
"Yes, my master."
Upon hearing Palpatine's order, Darth Vader hurriedly half-knelt on the ground.
"I order you to immediately set up a brand new legion structure and deploy manpower as you wish. Go and conduct an assessment of all newborns in the entire Galactic Empire this year. Um, then..."
At this point, Palpatine frowned. The Jedi and Sith had different ways of recruiting apprentices. The Jedi only accepted infants as apprentices, but the Sith were just the opposite, choosing people who were slightly older as their apprentices. Faced with this new force sect, Palpatine couldn't decide for a moment whether he should use the Jedi or Sith method to select people.
More importantly, the Jedi and Sith have fixed standards for apprenticeship, one master and one apprentice. After all, there has never been a situation like this before. After all, there have always been very few people who can use the Force. Now that the number has suddenly increased to the level of an army, it is really a problem how to teach them.
"I have a suggestion."
At this moment Fang Zheng interrupted again with a smile.
"If you find it difficult, perhaps you can refer to our experience here - build a special school for Force users, and then let those Force holders enroll. You can provide them with some favorable conditions, such as free tuition, or scholarships for those with excellent grades. Those children can learn some normal courses and basic methods of using the Force in school. Don't make it too complicated, just the most basic ones. You can select the best among them as the pillars of the new sect, and those with mediocre performance will not be wasted. This way, you can also cultivate their loyalty to the empire. I think it's a good idea."
Fang Zheng basically brought out the school system in Japanese ACG and Chinese online novels. Anyway, schools for superpowers or magicians are all similar things. The Galactic Empire doesn't lack the money, so why does it have to make itself like a villain to steal children?
What if a gifted child discovers that he was kidnapped, then goes looking for his parents, then finds out that his parents were killed by the empire, and in anger he rises up against the empire?
Aren't they just looking for trouble because they have nothing to do?
“Well, this is indeed a good method.”
Palpatine nodded and looked back at Darth Vader.
"Then, we will proceed in this direction. Also, we must complete the suppression of the rebels in the shortest possible time! I have come up with a plan. This time, we must wipe out all the rebels."
Having said that, Palpatine raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"By the way, the new legion must have a new name - then, let's call them the First Order."
