"This is … a brand new power."
Palpatine stared at his hands, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart. He raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror. In the mirror was a gentle old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with a head of white hair. This was Palpatine's original appearance.
But a long time ago, because he cultivated the Darkness Force, Palpatine's body had been eroded by darkness, and he had long become unsightly. This was also the biggest reason why he always wore a black hood to cover his face. But Palpatine did not expect that this brand new way of using the Force would allow him to return to his youth!
Well, strictly speaking, he was not young, but Palpatine could still feel this power.
However, Palpatine could still feel this power. It wasn't as violent and powerful as the darkness origin power. It was a completely new feeling. He could feel his old body becoming strong and powerful again, and his dull nerves becoming sensitive again. For an old man like him, this was already a miracle.
"Congratulations."
Fangzheng stood at the side with a smile as he looked at the three people in front of him. Palpatine and Desvader had both benefited considerably from the origin storm. Luke was the only one who didn't benefit as much as the other two because he had only cultivated for a short period of time. However, considering his age, it was already quite good.
"I should be thanking you, Mr. Fangzheng."
Palpatine retracted his gaze and looked at Fangzheng with a deep expression.
"So, what do you want?"
Palpatine was not ignorant. He knew that Fangzheng had saved his life just now. If Fangzheng had not blocked the Origin Storm, he might have exploded on the spot.
At the same time, Palpatine also understood that the reason why Fangzheng did all this was obviously not just to do a good deed. He must have a request. As the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine was not stupid enough to fall out with such a powerful force. After all, Fangzheng had helped them block the attack of the Origin Storm, and even now, Palpatine did not think that he could face an Origin Storm of that degree directly.
"Order."
"… Order?"
"That's right, Mr. Palpatine."
Fangzheng nodded.
"The reason I helped you is because I want the Galactic Empire to continue to exist. Perhaps you don't know, but a stable and orderly Galactic Empire is very much in line with my interests. You and Mr. Desvader both have the power to stabilize the Empire, so I helped you. I only hope that you can continue to maintain the entire Galactic Empire and not let it fall into chaos and division. "
"That's it?"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's answer, Palpatine and Desvader looked at each other in surprise. They had thought that Fangzheng would have some special request, but he actually made such a suggestion … No, it couldn't even be called a suggestion. After all, this had always been Palpatine's goal.
"Yes, that's it."
Fangzheng nodded again, then narrowed his eyes.
"Please don't underestimate my request. At first glance, it may seem natural, but the meaning of the existence of Order is far more important than you think. I can't explain it clearly to you at the moment, but I can tell you, Mr. Palpatine, that once Order collapses, it won't just be you and your Galactic Empire, nor will it be as simple as the destruction of a political entity. It may involve the destruction of the entire Galaxy. The force storm you're feeling now is just the tip of the iceberg. If you can't maintain it, the next situation won't be so easy."
"… So, do you have any good suggestions?"
Hearing this, Palpatine's expression became solemn. He was an ambitious and intelligent politician. Although Palpatine was unscrupulous sometimes, his ultimate goal was to rule the entire Galactic Empire. However, Fangzheng's words could not be ignored. 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?
How the hell could he rule it?!
"I do have some suggestions," Ye Zichen said.
Fangzheng originally wanted to say this, but since Palpatine had asked, he might as well go with the flow.
"This wave of force storm will have a great impact on the entire Galaxy. If my prediction is correct, many of the children born during this period will have the aptitude to control the Force."
"Oh!?"
Upon hearing that, Palpatine's eyes flashed, revealing an expression of surprise and delight.
"Really?"
"In theory, that's right, so I suggest that you start thinking about building a new army now, Mr. Palpatine … Also, I personally suggest that it's best to use the current creed of the Force as a guide to create a brand new faction. Terminus is too pedantic, and Sith is too radical. I'm sure you've seen the end result of both of them, Mr. Palpatine. In my opinion, if we can combine the strengths of Sith and Terminus to create a brand new Force faction, it will be very beneficial. "
"Hmm … That's true …"
Palpatine pondered over Fangzheng's suggestion. Although he appeared calm, Fangzheng could still sense Palpatine's excitement. Seeing this, Sheyan chuckled in his heart.
Fangzheng's suggestion was to cater to Palpatine's interests. Palpatine loved power and prestige, and he was an ambitious man full of ideas. But an ambitious man also depended on the situation. If he was given the right direction, then the ambitious man would come in handy.
Palpatine was now the Galactic Emperor. He had power, status, power, and wealth. As for women — Palpatine did not seem to have a taste for them. Was he gay?
Then all that was left was his reputation.
Everyone wanted their name to be immortal, and Palpatine was no exception. However, it was useless if he was only the Emperor of the Milky Way. As the saying goes, there was no eternal power. Maybe in a few decades, Palpatine would die, or the Milky Way Empire would collapse for some reason, and then his name would be buried in darkness.
But it was completely different to create a brand new sect.
Just like Jedi and Sith, even if the founders died, their sects would continue to be passed down. Thinking about how many Force users would learn his ideas, his knowledge, and his skills in the future, and cheer for him — Palpatine was so excited that he almost lost his footing!
He could be the Galactic Emperor whenever he wanted, but this might be the only chance for his name to be immortalized in history!
Thinking of this, Palpatine immediately looked at Desvader.
"Lord Desvader."
"Yes, master."
Hearing Palpatine's order, Desvader hurriedly half-knelt on the ground.
"I order you to immediately set up a brand new army structure. Allocate manpower as you wish. Conduct an evaluation of this year's newborns in the entire Galactic Empire, and then …"
Palpatine furrowed his brows at the mention of this. Jedi and Sith's methods of accepting disciples were different. Jedi only accepted infants as disciples, but Sith was the opposite. They would choose people who were slightly older as their disciples. Faced with this brand new Force religion, Palpatine was not sure whether he should use Jedi or Sith's method to select disciples.
More importantly, Jedi and Sith's standards for accepting disciples were fixed. One master, one disciple. After all, such a situation had never happened before. After all, there had always been very few people who knew how to use the Force. Now that the number of people who knew how to use the Force had suddenly skyrocketed to the level of an army, it would be really troublesome to teach them.
"I have a suggestion."
At this moment, Fangzheng once again interrupted with a smile.
"If you find it difficult, perhaps you can refer to our experience here — build a special school for Force users, then let those Force users enroll. You can provide them with some favorable conditions, such as free tuition, or scholarships for outstanding students. Those children can learn some normal courses and basic methods of using the Force in the school. It doesn't have to be too complicated, just the most basic will do. You can choose the outstanding ones to be the pillars of the new religion, and those who perform mediocre will not be wasted. This way, you can also cultivate their loyalty to the Empire. I think it's a good idea. "
Fangzheng was basically using the similar school system in Japan's ACG and China's online literature. In any case, the school for superpowers or the school for magicians were all similar things. The Milky Way Empire did not lack money, so why did they have to make themselves look like the villains and steal children?
When the time came, there would be a talented child who realized that he was kidnapped and went to look for his parents, only to find that his parents were killed by the Empire. What would happen to the main character script of the Empire?
Wasn't that just looking for trouble?
"Hmm, this is indeed a good idea."
Palpatine nodded and looked at Dasvida again.
"Then, we will follow this direction. Also, the encirclement and annihilation of the Resistance Army must be completed in the shortest time possible! I already have a plan. This time, we must capture all the Resistance Army in one fell swoop. "
Speaking until here, the corner of Palpatine's mouth slightly curled up.
"Right, the new army must have a new name. Then, let's call them the First Order."
