Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 644: Condensation of the Priesthood of Change: One is all, all is one!

The Desert Empire, the royal capital, has been working overtime to expand the Queen's palace again.

The spring water gurgles, the mist is dense, and the newly renovated open-air hot spring is surrounded by a circle of black shining rocks dotted with golden and silver stars. There are only two people in the crystal clear spring water.

On the float in front of them were various freshly cut fruits and fine wines.

The brilliant and charming Queen Marie snuggled up to Byron and listened silently to his plans for the future desert empire and the Corridor of Truth.

She picked up a piece of mango with her slender little hand and put it into his mouth, but she pouted her red lips slightly and said with some dissatisfaction:

“Since the trend of the emerging bourgeoisie and the St. Byron Code replacing the church and the Silver Law is unstoppable, aren’t you afraid that you will be attacked by the St. Byron Code?

Even if you are not afraid, I am. What I hate most in my life is traitors.

Three hundred years ago, the previous High Priest Hamna stole my father's princess and betrayed the royal family and the empire. In the end, I personally sentenced him to death by insect bite.

Having this hidden danger is enough of a headache.

I don't want to create a bunch of ambitious people myself, but rather those who have the ability and financial resources to realize their ambitions.

If you don't explain it clearly, I won't dare to graft it onto the [Bronze Law] and implement it in the Desert Empire or other surrounding vassal kingdoms."

When Cleopatra said this, the flash of swords and sabers flickered in her eyes.

This most outstanding woman in the material world obviously has her own deep understanding of power.

The supreme ruler of an empire is the emperor, but even God cannot rule the entire empire alone.

Therefore, in order to rule everyone, the emperor naturally needed to establish a complete ruling system from top to bottom that adapted to the times.

The military aristocracy, the land aristocracy, the financial elite as described by Byron, officials of all sizes, and so on will all be part of this system.

They are located between the emperor and the lower classes, playing a key role in connecting the upper and lower levels.

This group of people are responsible for actually doing things, and all the policies of the empire ultimately need to be implemented by this group of people.

In fact, for the highest ruling group represented by the emperor, how to manage this group of talents is the most troublesome problem for them.

All institutional and mechanism reforms of major countries from ancient times to the present have been implemented around this point.

The essence is two words - checks and balances!
Suddenly, a strange potential force appeared in the world. Even if the original intention was to mobilize the power of all mankind to resist the Luyan Era, it still made the Queen instinctively alert.

It is only in bed, facing her lover who is equal to her in status, that she is the most charming and beautiful woman. If she were outside, she would always be the power creature who is ruthless to her enemies.

Byron didn't care. He ate the mango happily and even kissed her crystal fingertips on purpose, his face full of a leisurely and enjoyable look.

Although he came to pay the final payment tonight, it was obviously not his style to only spend money without earning any money, so he immediately started to sell his [World Change] ritual and the "Code of Saint Byron".

Seeing her angry expression, he smiled and raised his hand to scratch her pouting red lips, explaining for her:
"Patra, it was our joint idea to establish the Human Federation in the Corridor of Truth. Didn't you just ask me what kind of system the Federation would implement?

Why not use the ready-made ones?

Besides, we will not implement this law immediately after the alliance. Although the legal documents have been prepared a long time ago, it will take some time before they can be produced.

The Desert Empire currently has no industrial base, and cannot support a large new class, so there is no soil for implementing new laws.

Even with the acceleration of various extraordinary abilities, this will be a gradual promotion process in the next few years.

Now my [World Change] is just to ignite the first fire. There is no need to wait until the industrial revolution develops to its extreme age. In the future, the fire will naturally spread across the prairie.

As for what you said, in the future, the emerging class will not only impact the authority of the church, but will also backfire on our royal authority.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could take control of this emerging class ourselves, and even become the most powerful member of it?
The old-fashioned landed aristocracy has made no contribution to the new world. If they cannot keep up with us, they should have died out naturally long ago."

In essence, Byron and Cleopatra are the same kind of creatures, fellow travelers who each carry half of the material world. Even without the "Golden Triangle" with her two sisters, she is well aware of her concerns.

The entire ruling class under the emperor are not producers but rulers and managers.

All their material needs: delicious food, fine clothes, treasures, wealth, beautiful women, etc. are obtained from the lower-level producers.

This situation will never disappear as long as the ruling class exists.

The reason why the ruled class is willing to serve the ruling class is not only because of the violent system composed of knives and guns, but also because the ruling class can give them the benefits they need.

The social contract theory makes it clear that the ruled cede power to the government so that the government can protect their lives, liberty and property.

This is the most fundamental social contractual relationship and the source of government legitimacy.

There is no essential difference between this and worshipping gods.

Therefore, in this situation, ordinary people think that the emperor, as the supreme ruler, must be in cahoots with officials and dignitaries at all levels, and when they rebel, they also claim to overthrow the emperor.

However, it is counterintuitive that in a country with a centralized environment, the interests of the emperor at the highest position and the managers who serve him are often in conflict.

Because the country belongs to the emperor, not to other ruling classes, the middle ruling class and their families naturally have no responsibility for the survival of the country and only want to get more from this ruling system.

Put the public assets belonging to the country into your own wallet.

Therefore, except for a few conscientious rulers, most people don’t care about the lives of the lower classes and just eat, eat, eat without restraint!
Therefore, as long as the supreme ruler, the emperor, is still a normal person, his position is destined to be consistent with that of the ruled class.

If the ruled class sees no hope, is exploited by the middle class, and their lives become increasingly worse, then this social contract will become invalid, and changes that will overturn everything and start all over again will ensue.

The emperor would lose his crown, and even his entire family would be buried with the old dynasty.

This situation is vividly reflected in the big guy who "starts with a bowl".

Although he was bloodthirsty, he only killed members of the ruling class. On the one hand, it was to allow the ruled to survive, and on the other hand, it was to ensure the stability of his own rule. The interests of both were consistent.

A logical closed loop is thus formed.

“Conclusion: The ruling class, who were only tools of the emperor’s rule, are the greatest enemies of the royal power!

There are countless examples throughout history.

The emperor (king) of the great Eastern country once ruled the world together with princes of the same surname, military nobles, aristocratic families, clans, literati, and gentry.
But every time a dynasty changed, peasant uprisings without a program or vision could only destroy the original social contract.

In the end, those who sat on the throne again were mostly the ruling class that originally ruled together with the emperor, with very few exceptions.

Even if a country is destroyed by foreign invasion, the ruling class that drags its feet often makes great contributions. "

“Finally, we have reached the era of so-called democratic elections where people push their proxies to power.

Pushing for the death penalty or physical annihilation is clearly a violation of the rules of the game and could even be a self-inflicted disaster.

For example, the gunshot did not blow off half of the ear, but the tacit understanding and fig leaf of the political game. "

Byron sorted out his thoughts along the development process of "Game of Thrones", and his understanding of power quietly surpassed everyone in this era of feudal states and nation-building.

The [Royal Power] priesthood within the body also became more and more powerful!

Even if he had not seized the [royal power] priesthood of the desert pantheon god king, he would probably have been able to condense one by himself by now.

Byron confirmed that the power of his [Royal Domain] and secret sword technique [Hegemony] had increased again.

Moreover, no matter who might threaten his royal power, as long as their status in the ruling system is lower than his, he can see through it at a glance and take precautions before it happens.

Not to mention the seventy-year-old man who was born with the "eagle-eyed and wolf-like look" appearance, and you can see through him at a glance.

"There's an old saying that goes, 'The old thief Sima fired a shot on the bank of the Luo River, which grazed the scalp of the Tang Dynasty's military god and hit old man Li right between his eyebrows.

Now the power of my [Royal Power] priesthood is almost as powerful as this shot.

I started out by backstabbing, but no one will ever be able to backstab me in the future!"

Byron then retracted his sigh about how difficult it was to be an emperor, and revealed to Cleopatra the organizational form of his own "Magic Banquet Council".

“In the future, my Sabbat Council will recruit outstanding top figures as councilors.

They will serve as legal nodes, using this "Code of Saint Byron" to weave a legal network that will encompass the entire world.

Complete the ultimate goal that the Remit Free Masons have dreamed of since their birth.

——Become a world aristocrat!
On the surface, the world will still be ruled by the king or the elected prime minister, but in essence, it will be the shadow government controlled by us that will rule the world!"

Byron smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly:

“Capital is neither oviparous nor viviparous, but metamorphosed.

No matter what national system it is, anyone who dares to touch it will be contaminated.

This kind of pollution is more silent than that of the old gods, and it is impossible to be immune to it.

If Catherine were to incarnate as an old god, she would definitely be the most polluting being, bar none.

Everyone will eventually fall into this big net.

As the supreme rulers, the only thing we have to do is to ride on this great power and stand firmly with the working people at the bottom.”

"hiss--!
You have already made a complete plan for world domination?"

Given Cleopatra's status and experience, she couldn't help but gasp when she heard Byron's words, and couldn't help but re-examine her young lover.

After being shocked for a while, he nodded slowly:
"Indeed, if this is really carried out, in the foreseeable future, you will indeed be worthy of being honored as: King of the World, Emperor of Mankind.

Moreover, there is one advantage for gods like us to be emperors.

Although there is the inherent greed in human hearts, the dimension of greed is completely different from that of humans.

We are greedy for power, supremacy, and the unity of all things. We also have the ability to check and balance middle-level managers, and we can truly stand firmly with the grassroots producers.

No mundane power or beauty could shake the heart of a demigod.

When you succeed, perhaps a new era will begin for mankind with the emperor at its core."

The most beautiful woman in the world looked at Byron, her beautiful eyes shining with light.

Subconsciously, he felt as if he could stand outside the world and look at history, and have a clear understanding of future changes in the world.

If I hadn't had a close relationship with him at a negative distance and knew clearly that he didn't have a priesthood like [Prophecy] yet, I would probably have thought that he was a seventh-level true god in the field of prophecy.

At this moment, as the strongest human being of her generation and even in the entire Silver Age, Cleopatra actually felt a sense of admiration for the strong in her heart for the first time.

The center of her legs felt warm, and the clear water seemed to have a different intoxicating fragrance. She subconsciously hugged Byron's strong arms and gently rubbed her jade balls, kissed his earlobe, and said with a breath of orchid:

"Anyway, the Desert Empire will soon be renamed the Lancaster Dynasty.

Since you already have a comprehensive plan, I will cooperate with you to the fullest.

Now it's time for you to pay the final payment, bad brother."

Byron laughed and was about to raise his hands to hug his most beautiful woman, but unexpectedly the queen's playful smile turned into a wisp of refreshing fragrance, which blew into the bedroom next door first.

"Byron, come and chase me, there will be a surprise if you catch me!"

The latter also shook his body and turned into a gust of wind, rushing into the dark palace after the queen.

Not long into the chase, the sound of the wind disappeared, but the sound of water began to appear.

Byron turned back into human form, his face froze for a moment, then he slowly opened his mouth.

A huge crystal goblet appeared in the middle of the bedroom, filled with dark blue wine. One of the figures was the queen, and the other was her incarnation, both naked, playing in it like two snow-white mermaids.

As their pink arms and legs swayed gracefully, golden flashes flickered in the deep blue wine, as magnificent as the night sky.

As the most particular winemaker in the field of blood brewing, Byron could immediately identify the ingredients of this glass of wine without reading the logbook.

Rum, ice, blueberries, lime, curacao, syrup and a little bit of fluorescent petal powder.

These are just ordinary things, but when the cocktail is garnished with the world's most beautiful woman, or two of them at once, this glass of wine is undoubtedly the world's best wine!

I swallowed subconsciously and couldn't help but shouting in my heart:

"What's the difference between this and a pool of wine and a forest of meat?
You are using this to test the emperor? Which emperor can stand such a test? ! ! "

When Marie Antoinette saw Byron standing there in a daze, she laughed so hard that her whole body shook.

She deliberately raised one of her long, straight legs that shone with a white jade glow, and swung her crescent-shaped slender foot, splashing the sweet wine onto his naked chest.

"This cocktail I carefully mixed is called 'Gemini Dust'. I and the avatar are the souls.

Do you want to drink? Bad brother, chuckle"

Without waiting for Byron to react, the two queens took a big sip of wine from the cups beneath them, and threw themselves into his arms, one on the left and one on the right.

"No~"

Byron's eyes widened. For a moment, he couldn't taste the cocktail at all. He only felt it was sweet, smooth and smooth like falling into the clouds. He felt dizzy and was about to get drunk on the spot.

The three-hundred-year-old big sister is more relaxed and knows how to have fun.

With a low growl, he pounced forward.

The sixth-rank demigod who looked down upon the entire human world quietly changed into another face in front of him and became his unique "royal lover".

One is the original body, the other is the incarnation; one is riding a horse, the other is in charge of moving lips and tongue
The sixth-order demigod is an all-round improvement over the fifth-order pseudo-god. The divine fire melts all the abilities they possess into one furnace.

After her promotion, Cleopatra, the [Goddess of Magic], gained a new power [Mysterious Root: Knowledge of All Laws] from her core priesthood [Magic].

There is no black witchcraft or supernatural knowledge in this world that she cannot master, and not only can its power reach the limit of the original owner, but there will be no side effects.

In the Succubus Dream Hotel opened by the activated knowledge "Posture", all kinds of signature services were naturally taken by her.

So, Byron learned everything from Cleopatra, such as fish connecting scales, butterfly flips, sea gulls flying, and cranes embracing each other!

Perhaps because the day of separation is approaching, the usually dignified and elegant queen has become particularly wild tonight.

Holding Byron's hand, their footprints were left in every corner of the bedroom, dining table, balcony, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Until a ray of dawn appeared on the horizon.

The two queens lay on the same chaise longue with their backs to Byron, one above and one below, with two full moons raised up in the air. Byron stood behind them and was willing to be their slave.

In order to prepare for the battle against the six major churches, he was allowed to rest for ten days.

Even the donkeys on the plantation don’t dare to rest like this!
Seeing that she didn't know when they would meet again, Cleopatra made up her mind that Byron must not take any of her stock with him when he left.

"Byron, you must come back to see me often when you have time.

After two months, when the imperial officials find out that I'm pregnant quietly, I don't know how they will react. What if we, an orphan and a widow, are bullied by the powerful officials after Amon is born?
I don’t want Amon to lack fatherly love. If you don’t come back after waiting for him for so long, I will find him another one.”

What powerful official could bully a demigod like her?
Byron knew that the queen was teasing him on purpose, but he was also furious on the spot and shouted:
"You dare? You're rebelling!"

Snapped!
He suddenly raised his hands and slapped the two plump and thick buttocks, leaving two bright red palm prints in the flawless full moon.

The most beautiful woman in the world was in tears, biting her plump red lips with her white teeth and turning to look at Byron.

There was no annoyance in her beautiful, star-lit eyes, but rather a hint of encouragement.

It seemed to let him continue.

Of course, Byron couldn't let her run wild, and he had to let her know who was the king and queen in the family.

From night to day, from day to night.

One night and one day, one day and one night.

At the turn of day and night, the queen, who possessed the priesthood of [fertility], suddenly trembled.

"Wait, I have it again."

Byron was only a moment late, and also discovered that Cleopatra, who had already transferred her eldest son, the sun god Amon, into her body, was pregnant again.

This time it was a daughter.

"Is this the Goddess of Night and the Mother of Stars who is opposite to the Sun God Amon?"

At the moment when his third daughter was born, a storm blew up in Byron's body, causing his body to tremble.

"Patra, I have one too."

The delighted Queen didn't understand and asked:
"What's up?"

call--!
An invisible wind blew out from his body, traveled around the world in an instant, and then returned to Byron's body.

But tonight is a night of binary opposition, with the Hades representing death and fertility representing life evolving against each other, and with their one son and one daughter as an opportunity, they finally push the "original one" to achieve a qualitative change.

The main priesthood [Change] was born!
This is the main priesthood that he personally condensed and is most suitable for himself.

It is the original one, the origin of all changes.

All of Byron's abilities are extended from this. At this moment, all his abilities have received the most essential and comprehensive amplification.

It allows him to change into a thousand forms, to accept and digest all kinds of powers at will, and he will never suffer from indigestion again, thus laying the most solid foundation for becoming the ultimate "One to whom all things return to One"!

At the same time, Byron's real body and incarnations on the three continents on both sides of the Sea of ​​Monsters all fluctuated like reflections in the water.

In an instant, they all disappeared, only to reappear in the blink of an eye.

But they have all changed dramatically.

Allowing boundless joy to fill his heart, Byron laughed loudly:
"One is all, and all is one. I am one, and I am all!"

A core concept in alchemy: "One is all, and all is one."

This means that every part of the universe is part of the whole, and changes in the whole are also reflected in changes in every part.

“All” includes all the specific changes that are unfolding in “One”, and “One” contains the possibility of all changes in “All”.

Although false gods and demigods have united their souls and bodies, there is still a distinction between the original body and the incarnation.

Before, Byron also swallowed the activation knowledge into his body, digested it once, and then released it again.

Let this incarnation be like the other seven incarnations, completely turning into his hands, feet, brain, and internal organs, so there will no longer be any hidden dangers.

But at this point, neither the body nor the soul can restrain Byron anymore.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the world seemed to be made up of countless strings, including "open strings" with endpoints and circular "closed strings".

The different vibrations and movements of strings produce various basic particles: electrons, photons, neutrinos, quarks, etc., and energy and matter can be converted into each other here.

In other words, the "vibration" of strings is the essence of the world.

In other words, "movement" and "change" are the essence of the world!

It is exactly the same as the string theory in the previous life.

Therefore, at this time, the relationship between Byron's original body and all the eight incarnations is no longer like that between a person and his own head, hands, feet, and internal organs, but they are indistinguishable from each other, and there is no longer any distinction between the original body and the incarnations.

The vibration frequencies between them are exactly the same, which can be called Schrödinger's Byron.

As long as they don't attack at the same time, they are all equivalent to the original body.

Byron clenched his fist lightly and murmured:

"This is the real 'change'! I, the future primate butler, have only just become real now!"

At present, this state of "one is all" can only be limited to oneself.

But Byron believed that as long as he completed the "World Change" ritual and integrated all his strength, he would be able to master a new sixth-level magic.

Just like an outstanding representative of primates who has seventy-two transformations and seventy-two lives, it is difficult for those of the same level to kill him.

Within the scope of the rules governed by the priesthood, I will be omnipotent!

Byron picked up the queen, let her sit in his arms, looked into her eyes and smiled:

"Although I am still a little short of being the one and the whole, at least you don't have to worry about no one being with you anymore."

The most beautiful woman in the world suddenly had tears in her eyes, but her mouth was smiling like a child.
