“The least active one?”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, Liz frowned.
“But how is that possible?”
“Because if the Empire truly belongs to the largest power in this multiverse, they should be the most active one.”
In Liz's opinion, what Wu Wei said was somewhat contradictory.
“No.”
“There is a reason why the Empire is not active.”
Wu Wei explained.
“Because that power called the Empire needs to be subdivided.”
“The absolute main force of the Empire's power is the royal family, that is, the aristocratic family forces with 【Shi】 as their surname.”
“In addition, the Empire has sixteen upper families and thirty-two lower families.”
“Outside of the families, there are also twenty-four alliances of different natures in the Empire, supplemented by hundreds of high-level guilds.”
“After excluding all of the above forces, the Empire also has countless small and medium-sized guilds, and ordinary lords whose numbers are increasing every moment!”
“To be precise...”
Wu Wei pointed to his nose and said seriously.
“I, in the initial division of power, also belong to a part of the Empire's power.”
“Because before I entered the Lord Era, I was a citizen of the Human Empire.”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, Liz also glanced slightly.
Only at this time did she realize.
This seemingly tiny multiverse, this multiverse that can give birth to Abyss Lords, may not be as small as she thought.
It is even quite large.
Because each qualified lord's territory spans at least one or several worlds.
“However, Lord, what does this have to do with the inactivity of the Empire's forces?”
Wu Wei smiled slightly.
“Regarding this, it is also very simple to explain, you still remember what I said before....”
“The absolute main force of the Empire's power is the royal family, right?”
“What I said about the Empire's power being inactive actually refers to the inactivity of the Empire's royal family!”
“The other forces besides the Empire are very active!”
“But the key is here.”
“The only ones who can truly represent the Empire's power are the royal family!”
“Although the composition of the Empire's power is so complex, with families, alliances, guilds, and large and small powerful lords.”
“But these complex forces are just the peripheral components of the Empire's power, and still a small part.”
“Because the true core of the Empire is always only the royal family.”
“This may sound ironic, but it is true.”
“The lords on the periphery, those alliances, those families, no matter how desperately they expand, cannot make much change to the entire Empire, but any 'small action' of the aristocratic family can obviously affect the entire Empire's map.”
“When the royal family is silent, then the entire Empire is in a state of silence in the eyes of the other forces.”
“When the royal family is active, then the entire Empire is in a state of activity.”
“Compared with the royal family, the other lord forces, no matter how strong, are only equivalent to a small piece of the behemoth of the Empire, or even a microorganism attached to it.”
“Then, what other forces are there outside the Empire?”
“What is their relationship with the Empire?” the fallen angel Liz asked.
“There are quite a few forces outside the Empire in terms of numbers.”
“But most of the forces do not need to be remembered.”
“Because under the Empire's offensive, many small hostile forces will basically be wiped out in a few years.”
“Because the number of alien races exterminated by the Empire every year is too large, these races will not even be included in the Heavenly Dao system, and their disappearance will be complete.”
As a human lord born from the Empire, Wu Wei spoke a cruel truth.
“But besides these races that are like ants in front of the Empire, there are still quite a few large forces outside the Empire.”
“It's just that these forces are basically in a hostile state with the Empire.”
“Among these forces, there are both the Golden Alliance composed of the major golden races, and the Dragon race force said to be created by the original Ancestral Dragon, as well as some independent ancient races, such as the forces established by the Titan race.”
“But besides these forces, there are also a small number of neutral forces.”
Wu Wei sat on the sofa in the lounge and pointed to the Eternal Night City outside the window.
“Eternal Night City is one of the territories of the neutral force of the Blood Race.”
“Many neutral forces, such as the Blood Race to which Carlos Yang belongs.”
“They will actively cooperate and trade with the Empire's forces, and in many cases, they will provide some special services that the Empire does not have.”
“The technology creation identification we are currently using is one of these special services.”
“But in the same way, they will also provide help to the Empire's enemies.”
“But in short, except for the Churches of the Gods designated by the Empire's forces, the Human Empire has no allies in the true sense of the word.”
“The Empire is constantly fighting with these powerful foreign forces, vying with them for control of one world after another.”
Wu Wei took a sip of water and said lightly.
“And in the foreseeable future, this war will not show any signs of stopping.”
However, Liz, who was beginning to be interested in the history of the Empire, suddenly interjected at this time.
“Oh, my dear Lord.”
“This Human Empire in your mouth is, in some ways, really like the great Abyss Mother.”
“It, like the Abyss Mother, craves endless war.”
“No wonder, in such a Human Empire, you, such a great lord, can be born.”
“Of course, if this Empire could be invaded and polluted by the Abyss Mother, that would be even better.”
“Because the wars they are currently waging lack the guidance of desire and depravity.”
Speaking of this, the scarlet in Liz's eyes became even more dazzling.
However, Wu Wei, this Abyss Lord, denied Liz's view.
“No, the Empire is completely different from the Abyss.”
Wu Wei's face suddenly showed an attitude of contempt and disdain.
“The existence of the Empire...”
“Is just a failed collection.”
“The huge and terrifying Empire I mentioned has never moved forward even one step in the past several millennia.”
“This seemingly endless war it is waging is just a futile act of self-preservation.”
“Because...”
Wu Wei stood up and looked out the window at the bizarre world of Eternal Night City.
“In countless millennia ago, the entire multiverse was the territory of the Empire!”
“The Human Empire, and the lords who belong to those Human Empires and fight for the Human Empire, are actually just recovering their homeland.”
“The Human Empire has long been a corpse.”
His scarlet vertical pupils were full of anger.
“The reason why it can still maintain its current size in these several millennia is just the...”
“Inertia of the past era.”
Just then, the door of the lounge was pushed open.
The Naga woman with the explosive figure walked in and said to Wu Wei.
“Lord, your appraisal results are out.”
