Chapter 10 Theocracy

Capital Star, midnight.

The lights were on all night at the First Federal Research Institute. An academic meeting on mutants had just concluded.

In the basement of the institute, in a special test field as big as a football field, a cage chain with a special metal seal was rolling with an electric current that reduced biological activity. The huge mutant covered with black and purple stripes that was captured alive by the lynx in the edge galaxy last time was roaring and turning around in the cage. It was weak but still ferocious.

When the door to the test field opened, the students of the director of the institute were crunching biscuits in the rest area while browsing the recent mutant body data.

A rare living mutant leader, with stronger genetic activity than ordinary mutants.

According to the special forces base, this beast had made an unidentified roar before losing consciousness, which is suspected to be related to the large-scale meteor shower in the M31 galaxy, which is unheard of in the research institute.

It is of considerable academic value and may even open up several different topics.

That's what the young student thought.

The door of the test site opened quietly, and the president of the Federal Research Institute, Wu Fuyi, walked slowly into the test site with his snow-white hair neatly tied up. As the lord with the best temper, his usually gentle expression now has a bit of unspeakable fatigue, and even his eyes are faintly blue-black.

The student put down the light screen and hurried forward: "...Teacher, are you finished with the meeting?"

"Yeah."

Wu Fuyi put the data chip he brought back aside and glanced at the student with a smile. The latter realized it belatedly, wiped the biscuit crumbs from the corner of his mouth guiltily, and smiled awkwardly: "Teacher, teacher, you came back so early today."

"Well, I left early," he smiled, unbuttoned the sleeves of his coat, and took out a lab coat from the special cabinet beside him. "The meeting should not be over yet. When the time comes, just ask the assistant to send me the conclusion directly."

"Huh? Leaving early?" The young student scratched his head, a little surprised, "Don't you always listen to the end?"

The white-haired snow deer lowered his eyes and was still very patient. He explained gently: "I haven't been in a good state recently. I'm afraid that staying too long will affect other people's discussions, so I left early. Besides, the habit and fluctuation detection of mutants has not been completed, right?"

"..."

The student nodded while holding a notebook, and looked at his Lord teacher who was always meticulous and concerned about his image, hesitant to speak.

Indeed, his teacher has been a little abnormal recently.

Not only is he closely connected with the headquarters of the Inspectorate and the black market, but Wu Fuyi, who has always focused on academics, even took a leave of absence and lost contact for a short period of time a few days ago. He couldn't even contact the students who were anxious to study the data.

Until now, the teacher also looked mixed with some strange and weird fatigue and decadence, as if he was full of worries.

He shouldn't ask about the teacher's private affairs casually, but...

Wu Fuyi turned around and put on his clothes, stretched out his hand and tugged at the long cuffs of his lab coat, deliberately covering the faintly hot blood-red divine pattern on his forearm.

Not surprisingly, he heard the students' cautious, tentative inquiries.

"Why?"

The white-haired Millennium Lord paused slightly, but he was not angry. He just smiled good-temperedly, turned around and looked at his young, inexperienced student, and said in a gentle tone: "Have you read mythological stories?"

"You mean... the things about the Supreme God in the book?"

The student frowned slightly, seeming a little embarrassed: "I have read it, but to be honest, as a member of the research institute, I find it hard to believe the truth of such stories... How can there be an existence that can ignore the limitations of scientific theories and physical laws and perform those so-called "miracles"? In other words, the existence of "God" itself is unscientific, just like a perpetual motion machine cannot exist. This is simply a paradox..."

He was halfway through his words, and suddenly remembered his identity as a teacher. He paused abruptly, and then looked up at the respected elder almost guiltily.

The student, knowing that he had said something wrong, looked at the "Lord" who was chosen by God a thousand years ago, and tried to make amends: "Sorry, I, I meant..." "

..." Wu Fuyi smiled and raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to continue to explain.

"No need to apologize, you are not wrong. The miracles and existence of gods recorded in history books have indeed impacted the existing scientific theoretical framework of the Federation," the director of the institute said in his usual gentle and calm voice, with a little hoarseness due to fatigue, but not hurriedly, "Imagine, if there is a being who can solve the problems that the Federation Institute has not solved for decades with just a wave of his hand, if there is a being who can hold the entire universe in the palm of his hand in a moment... then what is the scientific and technological truth that we have been searching for with so much difficulty?"

"So, I am a little conflicted."

Xuelu raised his eyes lightly, looking at the heavy and gloomy night of the capital star outside the window, and his voice became lower, almost like a murmur.

The student could not hear the next words clearly, and could not hear them clearly.

"Does the awakening of God represent the revival of theocracy?"

"And is the advent of this supreme being a good thing or a bad thing for the Federation?"

"..."

The student lowered his head blankly and took another bite of the biscuit, as if trying to cover up the fact that he didn't understand.

Wu Fuyi looked at him and smiled. He was not angry, but seemed to think that he had said too much. He lowered his eyes and slowly turned off the light screen he had just browsed.

Of course, if this simple-minded student suddenly had the urge to open the hot search at this time, he would see that the star network tonight was particularly agitated because of a certain message.

The top row of hot search entries was prominently visible.

#The official starship of the Inspectorate has landed on the main star of the M31 galaxy#.

*

The Inspectorate is currently the most sacred management agency in the hearts of the citizens of the Federation. No other.

When the Starnet organized a vote for "which high-level federal department you are most optimistic about", the Inspectorate undoubtedly won the first place.

It has a high position and great power, and its subordinate departments are spread across hundreds of star systems in the Federation.

The Inspectorate's official website complaint and reporting system on the Starnet is open 24 hours a day, and it will really take action after review and confirmation.

It is impartial, fair and honest, and its methods are so tough that they shock people.

It is precisely for this reason that when the official starship of the Inspectorate landed on the main star of M31, almost all citizens first thought -

whether someone in the star field management high-level on the main star of M31 was committing suicide and was going to be sanctioned.

This kind of thing is not without precedent in the history of the Federation. Back then, a large star domain manager and star pirates secretly interfered with the operation of nearby satellite orbits. The Inspectorate also dispatched large and small starships to directly block the entire star domain, and even blocked all information transmission signals in the domain network.

A few days later, the official lifted the signal blocking for this star domain and made public the trial results of the matter.

At that time, the discussion under the hot search terms was unprecedentedly hot. Everyone talked about the past events with relish, and completely forgot that it was not just the netizens who were nervous on the other side of the star network. There was

also the director of the M31 Galaxy Inspectorate who neglected his duties and went to the coastal star domain for a happy vacation at public expense.

——"I am saying, what's wrong with you? You were obviously withdrawn from the special forces front line, but you can't even handle such a small matter!!"

In the M31 Galaxy Inspection Bureau, the female captain with rabbit ears stood upright with her head lowered, listening to the director's angry and vicious scolding on the cross-domain light screen communication.

"The Inspectorate has attracted the attention of the Inspectorate! Do you still want a job? Ah? He's just a young kid with no identity information. Can't you just make up an identity in the database? You have to make a big deal out of it and make it a hot search. You are all a bunch of rubbish! You can't even do this kind of thing without me..."

The female captain lowered her eyes and pursed her lips without saying a word. Suddenly, she heard the office door being slammed open by the team members, and the young team members ran in in a panic: "Captain, captain..."

"Which team member is this? I'm scolding you, can't you see?" The director became even more annoyed when he saw this. He frowned and said angrily, "You all don't even know courtesy, how can you, as the captain..."

But the team members didn't even listen to his self-centered scolding. They just grabbed the sleeve of the rabbit-eared captain anxiously, with a very bad look on their faces.

"Captain, the Inspectorate Starship has landed at the landing field. The one who came down to inform us was... the adjutant of the judge."

"It was the judge, the judge himself!"

The words were like a thunderous explosion, and the whole office was silent for a second.

The female captain looked up at the young team member in astonishment, her left eyelid twitched unconsciously, and her brain couldn't even react: "... Who did you say came?"

"The judge! The lord! Absolutely true!" The young team member's face was sweaty, and she was so anxious that she almost cried, "It's a mess outside now, you go and check it out, captain!!"

The captain's face rarely showed a look of shock and confusion, and he looked up at the director on the screen belatedly.

The latter's face was so pale that there was no blood at all.

Before the starship came to a stop, the huge M31 Galaxy Inspectorate was thrown into chaos by the sudden arrival of this distinguished guest.

It was a pity that Fu Jiao, who was nestling in the lounge, had not noticed the panic and shock of the outside world.

The dinner provided by the Inspectorate was of good quality. In addition to the regular fruit-flavored nutritional liquid that was a meal replacement, it also provided milk cereal porridge and soft jam bread. As if taking the cub's special nature into consideration, the small robot in charge of meal preparation shyly handed Fu Jiao a few chocolate candies.

Although compared to regular meals, this meal was more like afternoon tea to soothe the cub's emotions.

Fu Jiao himself no longer needed to absorb energy through eating, but he could not resist the greed of the Supreme God himself.

God knows there is nothing in the higher dimension. She has been sleeping for thousands of years and has never eaten anything. She has been longing for the food of the earthly world.

After all the food was swept away, Fu Jiao leaned back on the soft bed, exhaled, and rested her head on her arms to think about what she should do after landing.

Go to find the little lions?

Well... to be honest, she really felt ashamed to see the cubs.

Although she did have her reasons for leaving without saying goodbye, from the perspective of the little lions, there is no doubt that she broke her promise first.

It's like you sneaked on a plane one day and never came back, leaving the cats and dogs you raised carefully in the city where you used to live.

How does that sentence go?

Abandoning is not human.

But Fu Jiao woke up this time because there was a loophole in this world that ordinary creatures could not repair. If she wanted to find the exact location of the loophole, she would undoubtedly need the help of the "heirs" who stayed in this world in the past.

Although she might be able to adjust the rules drastically by herself...but this civilization is ultimately a magnificent treasure built by those children with great effort.

Fu Jiao did not want to use large-scale miracles, which would cause the technology and balance of this civilization to be distorted.

The Supreme God turned over, and the intelligent system seemed to sense her contradictions and fatigue, and considerately adjusted the indoor lights to the night rest mode.

Fu Jiao closed her eyes, and when she was still frowning and thinking about what to do,

her chest suddenly became hot for no reason.

Hot, scorching, constantly jumping, as if urgently reminding something of its strength.

Beating and beating, just like the beating of the hearts of earthly creatures, simple and powerful.

It is a long-lost response and call.

In the distant past, the supreme gods bestowed hot and bloody blessings on the successors, engraved in the souls of the mortal world.

The divine pattern of the contract has been completed, and the successor and the gods are one, with mutual physical sensations.

Fu Jiao suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, suddenly jumped off the bed, opened the curtains, and looked at the night scene of the Inspectorate outside the lounge, which was already in a mess.

"...Who?"

Who...

came to see her?
