After the central army was moved away from the Empyreal Terminus Sector, the capital of the Star Ocean Republic was the most empty space zone in the past thousand years!
The "tiger" that had come to the swamp at the border after a long journey was also bullied by the dogs!
By killing two birds with one stone, Wuying Qi had created the most perfect conditions for the coup.
The best forces that he had armed with the starships of the Holy League and the Purple Thunder Crystals certainly did not set off after hearing the news that he was imprisoned and put on trial.
Instead, they turned into two forces, one in the light and the other in the dark, when he returned to the capital. The forces on the surface were disarmed by parliament and the Cultivators, but the real forces in the dark were hidden with the help of the Immortal Cultivators from other worlds. They would soar to the sky and cut the throat at the critical moment!
What would have happened if Wuying Qi had not sent himself to the enemy?
He would've occupied the ten or so vassal worlds at the border as a local tyrant. After the capital raised their wariness of him, they would've certainly built a defense line between the border and the capital, expanding their weapons and pressuring him strategically from every perspective.
It was a war between a viper and an elephant. The viper stood no chance at all in a head-on confrontation. He would've been stomped to death by the elephant.
Behind him, the people of the Holy League who had just suffered a crushing defeat must've been gnashing their teeth in fury. They certainly wouldn't have minded stabbing him brutally when he was confronting the Cultivators!
As a result, it would've been impossible for him to claim the supreme throne in the sea of stars even though he had extraordinary abilities!
Therefore, the viper had to crawl into the elephant's head through its nose and spread the venom to its most vulnerable nerves!
Wuying Qi had no choice but to send himself to the capital and be imprisoned. The central army of the capital had to be mobilized to his territory and annihilate his border defense army.
How could they achieve that?
What kind of crime would make parliament and the Cultivators make up their minds to kill a general who had been guarding the border for more than ten years and his army without caring about anything?
There were only crimes against humanity and mass murder!
Therefore, for the young people who knew nothing about the Immortal Cultivators and whose belief had not been solidified, Wuying Qi's legendary rise seemed to be soul-stirring, interconnected, and full of coincidences. Every time, he was cornered into desperation and had no choice but to resist, counterattack, and triumph in the end!
Indeed, it was soul-stirring and stirring, causing one to feel lofty sentiments of 'this is how a real man should be'.
However, it was not difficult to notice that blowing up Karan together with the 8.2 million innocent people living on it and purging more than ten vassal worlds as a warlord that threatened the central government were definitely not Wuying Qi's last resort. It was not even a strategy that he came up with on the spot in the middle of the war but a decision that he had made a long time before the war, when he decided to swallow the entire Star Ocean Republic!
Every step was a trap that he had deduced and carefully calculated countless times. After a series of subtle actions that seemed unrelated, he led everything to the result of the 'perfect coup'!
The almost ten million wronged souls on Karan were the offerings that Wuying Qi had long prepared to sacrifice in order to seize the highest power!
Furthermore!
Li Yao further realized that what he said just now was just Su Changfa's side of the story. He claimed that Wuying Qi was fighting hard against the Holy League in the frontline while the people, parliament, and Cultivators in the rear were shortsighted, ungrateful, and jealous!
Was that really the case?
Was it possible that Wuying Qi was actually playing the trick of 'keeping the enemy for himself' and expanding the strength of his border defense army with the military threat of the Holy League?
Was it possible that the people, parliament, and Cultivators had given him a lot of support and resources, but he had devoted most of the resources to the expansion of the 'Salvation Syndicate' and raised countless Immortal Cultivators in secret?
Otherwise, how could the Salvation Syndicate have infiltrated every world of the Star Ocean Republic in only more than ten years and control the entire country when they suddenly rose up in the end?
Was it possible that Wuying Qi had a certain clandestine deal with the Holy League a long time ago, and the massive attack of the Holy League was all within Wuying Qi's calculation and even connivance?
Li Yao's brain was like a spring where broken ice was floating. He couldn't have been calmer and was not affected by the fancy words at all.
But on the surface, he pretended that he was fascinated. Clenching his fists, he asked excitedly, "What happened next?"
With a regretful and indignant expression, Su Changfa heaved a long sigh and said, "Wuying Qi becoming the president of the Star Ocean Republic was expected and inevitable. Under his governance, the Star Ocean Republic was renewed and reborn from fire!
"However, when Wuying Qi reformed society with the true path of immortality, the fierce resistance of the interest groups of the Cultivators was bound to be raised!
"The groups of Immortal Cultivators that had just risen were like the rising sun. They represented the development of the civilization of mankind and were unstoppable!
"The sordid and shameless Cultivators, as well as the ignorant ordinary people who were instigated by them, were naturally no match for them!
"The shameless bandits who tried to stop the chariot were all crushed into smithereens by Wuying Qi's unstoppable cavalry!
"However, their shamelessness was beyond the imagination of Wuying Qi and the Immortal Cultivators. In order to counterattack and restore the reign of the Cultivators, they even conspired with their old enemy, the Holy League!
"The Holy League came back and helped the Cultivators rebuild the parliament of the Star Ocean Republic, claiming that it was the legitimate government of the Star Ocean Republic!
"Hehe. What legitimate government? It is just a puppet of the Holy League!
"The confluence of the two enemies seemed rather intimidating at first glance. Many vassal worlds were shaken again and took the side of the Cultivators and the Holy League.
"Civil war broke out!
"This was the second civil war that Wuying Qi had experienced. Compared to the civil war of the Martial Meritocrats civilization hundreds of years ago, the scale of this civil war was a hundred times larger. Almost a hundred Sectors were involved in the war at the center of the cosmos. Nobody was spared!
"The civilization of mankind was at the most dangerous moment again!
"While dealing with the Cultivators and the Holy League calmly, Wuying Qi considered the real reasons for the civil war and the national system that was most suitable for the development and rise of the civilization of mankind in the sea of stars.
"Eventually, he came to a conclusion!
"The biggest problem was the 'republic system' that was being implemented right now!
"The universe is too vast. The Sectors are far away from each other. Transportation and communication are inconvenient. Their environments and interests are different from each other. It is natural for them to be independent and divided!
"If the so-called free and democratic republic system was adopted so that every Sector, every space zone, and even every planet could voice their own voice without any restrictions and without any cost, they would be at loggerheads and put the interests of their small worlds above the interests of the entire civilization. Then, division and civil war would be unavoidable!
"Even if the Holy League and the Cultivators could be destroyed this time, new unstable factors would pop up next time. If things went on like this, the civilization of mankind would be destroyed by the internal friction eventually!
"The problem had to be resolved from the root!
"The republic system was an underdeveloped system that could only be adopted when the civilization of mankind was still in the planetary age. It was no longer suitable for the development in the age of the grand universe!
"In the boundless, dark, and cold sea of stars, the civilization of mankind must be united under one flag, one voice, and one leader and march forward bravely!
"Unity, unity. Unity is strength. Unity is everything!
"In the age of the Star Ocean Imperium, the civilization of mankind was reborn from fire and defeated the civilization of demons that had dominated the sea of stars for thirty thousand years. It was not without reason that we regained control of the sea of stars!
"The monarchy system! It was exactly because the Star Ocean Imperium adopted the monarchy system that such a brilliant and glorious enterprise was established under the bloody battles of the 'Supreme Emperor' and the most distinguished elites of mankind!
"It was hilarious that the Star Ocean Republic claimed to be the 'rightful heir' of the Star Ocean Imperium, but it only inherited an empty shell and did not even learn the essence of the core system. How hilarious!
"When Wuying Qi realized that, it was exactly the most anxious moment of the war. Led by the shameless scumbags of Cultivators, the invaders of the Holy League marched in unstoppably. The flames of war were about to reach the capital city!
"The city seemed to be in peril, but in the end, the situation took a turn for the better!
"Great omens came from the depths of the capital planet in the Empyreal Terminus Sector!
"In the past, the Supreme Emperor received three copies of the Book of Revelation, which were the heritage of the Pangu civilization, but they were lost during the collapse of the Star Ocean Imperium!
"But right now, the Immortal Cultivators have found one of the Book of Revelation from an ancient relic, which can be used to analyze the extraordinary techniques and technologies of the Pangu civilization!
"This is the will of heaven!"
"This is an unstoppable sign of the rise of the civilization of mankind!
"With the destiny in hand, Wuying Qi made up his mind to change the regime of the country from a republic to a monarchy in order to save the country and the civilization, and he ascended to the throne as an emperor!"
"The Star Ocean Republic evolved into a brand-new Imperium!
"In order to distinguish itself from the Star Ocean Imperium in the past, to draw a clear line with the so-called 'rightful government of the Star Ocean Republic', and to demonstrate the ideology and belief of the new Imperium, Wuying Qi established the name of the country as the Imperium of True Human Beings!
