Super God: Rise of Civilization

Then, Yang Yu's gaze fell on the Prime Minister who had entered the Imperial Study and had never spoken a word. The coldness in his eyes was almost tangible.

"Your Majesty, I know my crime. I beg Your Majesty to spare my family in consideration of my ten years of hard work for the Empire."

Although the Prime Minister did not know who Zhu Yeqing was, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground, his heart filled with fear.

The emperor has not left the palace for more than twenty years.

Unexpectedly, the control over the empire is still so terrifying.

"How should I address you? Should I call you Minister Qi, or Minister Murong?"

Yang Yu stood up from his seat, walked over to the elderly man who was over fifty years old, and said:

"The Beichuan Empire has been destroyed for over two hundred years. I did not exterminate the honest and law-abiding Murong royal bloodline of your Beichuan Empire. In fact, after learning your identity, I disregarded past grievances and appointed you as the Prime Minister of the Empire. How can you still think of overthrowing my Star Empire and reaching into my Star Empire's army in Beiming?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers, who were trembling with fear, looked at the Prime Minister of the Empire in disbelief.

Are they descendants of the royal family of the Beichuan Empire?

The finance minister, who was on good terms with him, quickly distanced himself from the prime minister.

Damn, you're actually a descendant of the Murong family.

You still dream of overthrowing the empire's rule? You deserve to die!

What if the emperor decides to punish the entire family, and then he becomes an innocent bystander?

"Your Majesty, I do not wish to, nor dare I, but I..."

The Prime Minister's expression was complex. He carried his own mission. Although the empire had treated him well and he recognized the empire's rule and worked diligently for the empire, he could not forget his identity.

"Dare not? What is there that you, Minister Murong, dare not do? The boy from Beiming who commands one of my divisions is from your Murong family, isn't he?"

"What, you think you can control one of my divisions to fight against my million-strong army in Beiming? Isn't that a bit too naive?"

Yang Yu originally didn't want to go on a killing spree, but these guys went too far.

He turns a blind eye as long as it doesn't harm the empire's essential interests or endanger the lives of its people. But if you insist on walking into the line of fire, who else but you will die?

"Your subject would never dare..."

"I don't want to hear you say you dare not, or am I being too lenient with you remnants of the empire? Then kill me."

"Summon the two great families, Long and Bai, to my study."

The words were spoken.

The Imperial Guards rushed into the Imperial Study and forcibly took the several Imperial Cabinet ministers away.

The secretary-general immediately went down to inform the heads of the two great families of the empire.

This is a true old-established family of the empire, an old family that followed the Star Kingdom in its early days and has been fighting alongside it since its founding. They are a family that unconditionally supports the royal family.

After the empire unified the world, the two great families shifted their allegiance directly from the royal family to the emperor.

Two hundred years ago.

Long Qi, the Grand Marshal who suppressed the Southern Barbarians, came from the Long family.

The Grand Marshal Bai Lu, who suppressed the Western Desert, came from the Bai family.

"Alas, I hope that some of your descendants will be able to raise the banner of the empire for me!"

……

South of the capital city.

In a courtyard covering an area of ​​approximately 1.2 square kilometers.

An elderly man with gray hair and bright, intelligent eyes is playing Go with a child.

Seeing himself completely surrounded by his eldest grandson, he made a move that turned the tide of the game.

"Xiao Qi, do you know where you went wrong?"

"It's because my grandson is too persistent."

"Alright, hurry up and do your homework!"

The old man looked at his eldest grandson with satisfaction. Another brilliant strategist was about to emerge in their Bai family. At such a young age, his mastery of military strategy had almost reached its pinnacle.

Their future achievements are limitless.

It will surely reach the heights of its ancestral egret.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, good news, good news!"

Just then, a young woman from the Bai family, dressed in simple clothes with the Bai family's unique emblem embroidered on her chest, rushed over.

"Why are you in such a panic? What kind of behavior is this?"

Seeing his eldest granddaughter rushing over, the old man's face hardened, and he spoke sternly.

"The Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards has been ordered by His Majesty to summon you to the palace."

"Uncle Long has already gone to the Imperial Palace."

The woman said excitedly.

"His Majesty summons you?" Upon hearing this, the old man was somewhat taken aback.

How many years has it been since His Majesty summoned the two great families of Long and Bai?

It's been fifty or sixty years, hasn't it?

"Where is the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards?"

"Still outside the door."

"Then what are you doing, still so inexperienced? Invite the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard to the living room."

The old man's eyes widened. The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard was a truly powerful figure.

Without His Majesty's protection, the Bai family, which is almost being squeezed out by the rising families, cannot afford to offend the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Yes."

"I'll go right away."

……

In just one day, the news that the emperor had dismissed all cabinet ministers spread throughout the empire like a hurricane.

The news that Prime Minister Murong Qi was a remnant of the Beichuan Empire's royal family and controlled a division of the empire's army in Beiming, intending to overthrow the empire and restore the Beichuan Empire, shocked the empire.

Countless people condemned him with words and writings.

Nobody wants war, because war means loss for ordinary people, and nobody wants to be displaced.

The news that the emperor had reinstated the two great families of the empire spread throughout the country.

The glorious era of the two great families has returned.

One after another, cold, steel lions entered the major cities of the Star Empire and began a massive purge of the empire based on the information provided by the Divine Machine Guards.

The royal remnants of the Beichuan Empire in the Northern Sea and the Toroso Empire in the Western Desert were all wiped out.

Any merchant or minister who violates imperial laws, including any unstable dark forces that threaten the safety of the empire and its citizens, will be killed on the spot if they resist.

The armies of the Eastern Wilderness, the Southern Barbarians, the Western Desert, the Northern Underworld, and the Central Plains all mobilized, demonstrating the emperor's determination.

In just six months, those who had ulterior motives were shown what tyranny and imperial power truly meant.

Chapter 19 [Modern Industry]

Star Era 227.

Thirty kilometers southeast of the capital.

This area has become a deserted, strictly controlled special zone.

Since the invention of the atomic bomb, the Star Empire has been developing rapidly.

Many years have passed.

After numerous failed development attempts, the first satellite of the Star Empire has finally reached a crucial stage.

Yang Yu stood in the center of the space launch site, looking at the rocket in the distance, his eyes filled with hope.

After more than 30 failed rocket launches, cabinet ministers have gradually lost hope in the satellite.

But under his strong suppression, the cabinet ministers dared not voice their opinions.

After all, the difficulty of developing such a thing is too great.

The financial investment was also exceptionally large.

Therefore, it is understandable that the finance minister in the cabinet was unwilling.

Are you nervous?

Yang Yu looked at the somewhat nervous Dean of the Imperial Academy of Engineering beside him, who was only in his forties, and said, "Don't worry, even if we fail, I will still support the Imperial Academy of Engineering in its space exploration endeavors."

"Your Majesty, I am under immense pressure."

The president of the engineering academy was filled with bitterness; he had failed many times.

Moreover, this time it carried a satellite developed by the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

The pressure he's under is immense.

"Everything is ready. Shall we ignite?"

The technician listened to the message that was relayed back and turned to look at His Majesty the Emperor and the Dean behind him.

As long as he presses the button in his hand, the rocket will take off.

"His Majesty?"

Let's begin!

Yang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the rocket in the distance, his hands clenched into fists.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Ignition."
