Super God Knight Evolution.

It would be very impolite to invite the distinguished guest to the Lingxiao Palace directly when he suddenly came. According to Lieyang's tradition, he must be welcomed outside the Nantian Gate.

The civil and military officials of Lieyang stood solemnly outside the Nantian Gate in court robes, waiting for An Lan's arrival under the scorching sun.

Fortunately, every member of Lieyang Civil and Military Affairs Bureau is a super soldier, otherwise several of them would have suffered from heatstroke.

In front of the ministers were the Four Heavenly Guardians led by Pan Zhen, and the Sun Empress Rena.

Reina fanned herself with her hands, very dissatisfied with the scorching sun, and complained, "Uncle Pan, when can you install air conditioning in the palace?

It's so hot every day, this should be easy to do."

It was indeed quite easy. For a civilization of Lieyang's level, there were countless technologies capable of manipulating the weather, and it was easy to lower the temperature of the palace to normal levels.

Pan Zhen glared at Lena. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear: Put your hands down. You don't have the dignity and demeanor of an empress at all. Do you want to embarrass us, Lieyang?

Reina stuck out her tongue, but still put her hand down, adjusted her disguise and pretended to be serious.

Pan Zhen then said sternly, "When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and empty, and his actions frustrated, so as to stimulate his heart and harden his nature, and increase his ability to do what he could not do before.

People always make mistakes before they can correct them. They are trapped in their hearts and weighed in their thoughts before they can act. They are revealed in their faces and voices before they can be understood. If you cannot rule your family and offend your people at home, and you cannot have enemies and external troubles when you go out, your country will always perish. Then you will know that life is born in worries and death is in comfort.

Your Majesty, please think twice."

Lena pouted her lips like an illiterate woman, cast a disdainful look at Pan Zhen, and said, "What do you mean, Uncle Pan? You're always so literary."

Seeing that Reina was so ignorant, Pan Zhen, Reina's teacher, wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

The master humiliates the minister and the minister dies; the teacher is lazy if he does not teach strictly. The monarch and student Reina didn't even understand, which made him feel really ashamed.

"What it means is that a comfortable environment will erode a civilization and a person's ambition. The environment and temperature of Lieyang are a warning to all Lieyang people."

Pan Zhen condensed the entire passage of classical Chinese into one sentence.

"Why didn't you say so earlier..."

Reina grumbled to herself for a moment, then complained, "But I think Earth is developing pretty well, with TVs, air conditioners, color TVs, washing machines, massage machines...

There are all kinds of things to enjoy.”

"That's why civilizations like Earth are targeted by the God of Death Carl."

Pan Zhen held his head high and said in an unquestionable tone: "The Earth, trapped in comfort, will never be able to develop its own god-making technology without the support of the Denor civilization.

Why did the Earth attract the attention of both Carl and Morgana? The Denor civilization is one reason, but the air there is filled with the smell of corruption is another reason. "

The four heavenly protectors and civil and military officials behind Pan Zhen also agreed with Pan Zhen's statement.

Lieyang is like the Han and Tang dynasties in ancient China. Outside its borders are barbarians, and the country is very culturally confident.

The Lieyang people always have a sense of mission to spread the light of their own civilization to all parts of the universe. Pan Zhen calls this sense of mission "worrying about the world before worrying about yourself, and being happy after the world is happy."

It can also be said that the rich first drive the rich later, and the earth is the rich later.

Pan Zhen was just about to scold Lena a few more times, trying to pull back the Empress of the Sun who was gradually indulging in comfort and enjoyment, when he saw a space crack suddenly appear above the square a few dozen meters ahead.

coming.

Everyone immediately perked up and couldn't help but be shocked by An Lan's methods.

It's no secret among top civilizations that An Lan has a modified version of the space-warping ability. Everyone has long known that An Lan has this unique skill.

But after seeing it with my own eyes, I still couldn't help but be amazed.

You know, the Lieyang Star is not completely defenseless like the Earth. First of all, it is not an easy task to find the hidden coordinates of the Lieyang Star.

After finding the coordinates of Lieyang, you have to get Lieyang's permission if you want to enter Lieyang. This is just like the airspace control of countries on Earth. You can't fly whenever you want.

If they force their way in, they will be hit head-on by the several lines of defense of the Fiery Sun. Even a third-generation war god would most likely be killed by the stellar energy bombardment of the Fiery Sun defense system.

An Lan's space-warping ability made Lieyang's defense line useless, allowing him to come and go freely.

Coupled with An Lan's black hole ability, this means that as long as he wants, he can launch a devastating attack on Lieyang at any time.

The shocked crowd then saw a handsome man in a black windbreaker and a short-haired man in the clothing of the Denor royal family walking out of the space crack.

The one walking in front should be An Lan. Lieyang and his group of civil and military officials looked at this man who was said to have made the empress, angels and demons fall in love with him.

Emmm...

He is definitely handsome. Both in terms of appearance and temperament, he is truly one of the best among men. There are few people in the entire Lieyang who can compare with him.

But why do I have this inexplicable feeling of being... ordinary?
He has excellent external conditions and certainly has the strength, but I always feel that he is not as powerful and incredible as the legend says. On the contrary, he looks very kind, like a modest gentleman, and his every move makes people feel like a spring breeze.

After observing An Lan, Lieyang Wenwu quickly turned his attention to Cheng Yaowen behind An Lan.

Compared with An Lan, Cheng Yaowen is much inferior in terms of external conditions, temperament and strength, and he is not well-known in the universe.

But the clothes he was wearing were eye-catching enough to make Lieyang civil and military officials pay attention to him. There was no doubt that he was the direct descendant of the Light Shield royal family of the Denor civilization.

This is a sign of bad intentions.

Pan Zhen frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows, and with a smile on his face, he led the civil and military officials to greet An Lan, and said with a smile: "Your Highness An Lan has come from afar, and everyone in Lieyang has been looking forward to it.

It's just that you came a little suddenly, and Lieyang was not well prepared and failed to welcome you. I hope you don't mind."

Before An Lan married Lena, he was one of the top gods in the universe. After marriage, he became the Prince of Lieyang. No matter how you look at it, he is not inferior to Pan Zhen, the Regent of Lieyang.

The word "you" is worthy of the title no matter what.

“It happened suddenly, and it was because I trusted Reina in the past that I decided to use my space warping ability to come to Lieyang immediately.

Please forgive me for disturbing you, Your Highness the Regent."

Don't hit someone who smiles at you, An Lan also bowed.

"We're going to be a family soon, why are you being so polite?" Lena complained. She just couldn't stand seeing people wasting time by being falsely polite in front of her.

This is called "propriety". The reason why human beings are superior to animals is that they have propriety. Therefore, the Book of Songs says: "If a man has no propriety, why doesn't he die quickly?" Propriety is indispensable.

How could you be so impolite?

For a moment, Pan Zhen didn't know whether to scold Rena or refute her. He just felt that his empress was really shameful and regretted not keeping Rena in Lingxiao Palace.

An Lan smiled and came to the rescue at the right time: "Lena is right.

A person who is well-versed in learning cannot be used to discuss the world, and a person who has worked hard to think cannot benefit the people. A person who has lived a long life cannot learn everything, a person who is still young cannot practice rituals, and a person who has accumulated wealth cannot support his entertainment. He who embellishes his evil arts in order to please the ruler of the world, and who embellishes his music in order to seduce the people. His teachings cannot be used to guide the world, and his learning cannot be used to guide the masses.

Let’s just skip all the red tape.”

Oh?
Pan Zhen's eyes lit up, because An Lan was talking about the content in Mozi's "Anti-Confucianism", in which Mozi criticized Confucianism's red tape for being useless to the country.

Pan Zhen himself is relatively traditional, but he is not the old-fashioned person who is unwilling to change anything. "I am the Way of Heaven" and "Peace and prosperity for the country and the people" are manifestations of Pan Zhen's ability to adapt.

As long as you are reasonable, whether it is logic or physics, Lieyang can make adjustments for you.

Pan Zhen waved his hand, signaling the civil and military officials behind him that they no longer needed to prepare those complicated welcoming ceremonies. Then he took An Lan's arm and walked side by side towards the Nantian Gate, saying, "Since Your Majesty Lei and Your Highness An Lan both think that my Lieyang's welcoming ceremony is too complicated, let's just skip it."

“It should have been saved a long time ago.”

Lena complained. She knew how complicated the highest standard of hospitality etiquette in Lieyang was. It would take at least an hour to complete the whole process.

The civil and military officials who had worked in vain could only lower their heads and follow the three men with resentment.

The saddest thing is not that you have to waste your private time making a lot of preparations for some boring flows and scenes, but that you have already prepared but find that they are of no use at all.

Pan Zhen, who was walking side by side with An Lan, ignored the complaints of the traitor Lena, and pretended to glance at Cheng Yaowen who was following behind An Lan, and asked: "Who is this..."

"I am a subordinate of the God Anlan, and I am the prince of the Light Shield royal family of the Denor civilization, Cheng Yaowen."

Cheng Yaowen nodded and revealed his identity.

He is indeed a descendant of the Light Shield royal family, and he definitely has no good intentions.

Pan Zhen's mind was full of thoughts, and for a moment he couldn't figure out An Lan's thoughts. They were about to marry Lieyang, so why did they bring Prince Denor with them?

Is it a display of strength, or do you have some ideas?
Pan Zhen remained calm on the surface, chatting with An Lan as Reina's teacher and fake father. Before they knew it, they had reached the South Gate of Heaven and introduced, "This is the main gate of the Lieyang Palace, the South Gate of Heaven."

The layout of most imperial palaces is to face north and south, so the south gate must be the main gate.

An Lan looked up and saw a flawless gate that looked like it was carved from white marble standing before him. It was about thirty-three feet high and more than twelve feet wide.

There are two smaller gates on each side of the South Gate of Heaven. Outside of them are pillars carved with golden-scaled, sun-lit red-bearded dragons every hundred feet. Under each pillar there is a second-generation super warrior holding a golden spear and wearing golden armor.

Between the celestial pillars is a nine-chapter-high vermilion city wall. Looking forward through the top of the city wall, one can vaguely see the thirty-three celestial palaces and seventy-two pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings, shining with golden light.

"What an immortal demeanor." An Lan exclaimed sincerely.

If we really want to talk about grandness, then it has to be the Melo Celestial Palace, after all, it is a palace complex composed of more than ten combat celestial bodies. However, the Melo Celestial Palace is relatively less ostentatious, and seems a little mysterious.

The palace of Lieyang is a visual impact of red. While retaining the basic principle that bigger is beautiful and rich is awesome, it also displays Lieyang's unique traditional culture to the fullest.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? Very beautiful! This is where we will live from now on."

Reina pointed at the palace complex and said to An Lan excitedly that although she usually disliked Lieyang, at the critical moment Reina still hoped that her fiancé would be satisfied with Lieyang's home.

"It's quite beautiful." An Lan nodded, took a step forward and planned to walk into the Nantian Gate and take a detailed look at the Lieyang Palace.

Pan Zhen frowned slightly, and the four heavenly protectors and civil and military officials behind him were also in an uproar. The look in their eyes when they looked at An Lan suddenly became strange, as if they were looking at a country bumpkin.

Noticing the sensitive look behind him, An Lan stopped and looked back at Pan Zhen and the others who were standing still. He didn't say anything, but just quietly waited for Pan Zhen to give him a holiday.

Pan Zhen laughed and reminded, "Your Highness An Lan, you don't know that you cannot go through this door, at least not today."

Can't go through this door?

An Lan was in a daze for a moment, and roughly understood what Pan Zhen meant, because there are similar rules on Earth.

For example, the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City has five doorways, but only three are open at ordinary times. The middle gate is only open to the emperor, and the empress can also use it once during the emperor's wedding.

Civil and military officials usually walked through the door on the left, and the royal family walked through the door on the right. The emperor would only open the doors on the far side when he held a grand ceremony, and civil and military officials below a certain rank would walk through the doors on the far side.

An Lan understood similar rules. After all, he was a novelist and had a wide range of knowledge.

However, An Lan did not expect that the legendary South Heaven Gate in Lieyang also had similar rules, and Pan Zhen was planning to use these rules to restrain himself.

"Is this Lieyang's rule?" An Lan asked with a smile.

Pan Zhen was about to say that this was Lieyang's old rule, but you don't have to follow it, when he heard a cold voice behind him: "This is Lieyang's rule!"

Xuan Tianji, the Tiger Evil Heavenly Protector who said this, glanced at An Lan with an indignant look on his face.

broken!

After Xuan Tianji said this, Pan Zhen felt a headache. He had screwed up.

Pan Zhen's original intention was not to make things difficult for An Lan. He just wanted to say "although this is the case, but this and that" and use Lieyang to make an exception for An Lan to prove Lieyang's respect and kindness for An Lan.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Tianji, one of the four heavenly protectors, misunderstood the situation and thought that Pan Zhen was not going to make an exception for An Lan, so he attacked directly with a loud and powerful attack.

Emmmm, it may not be a misunderstanding, maybe it was intentional.

Pan Zhen, who had messed up, felt like he was in a difficult situation.

On the one hand, Pan Zhen was quite afraid of An Lan's strength. If An Lan ignored Lena's face and directly fought, or even did not need to take action but was just dissatisfied with Lieyang, it would be enough to cause Lieyang to suffer a lot of potential losses.

On the other hand, Pan Zhen felt that reprimanding Xuan Tianji and denying what he said at this moment would make himself and Lieyang appear too weak and humble, and would undermine the dignity of the high-level god-making civilization.

Do you want face or substance?
Pan Zhen had to face an unexpected dilemma.
