Chapter 96 Imperial Power
Li Chengze gently took off his mask and said with a somewhat triumphant smile in his eyes: "Fan Xian, how do you feel? Hey, am I good at my craft?" Upon hearing this, Fan Xian immediately came closer. The robot, which was originally lying as still as a corpse, gently slid its fingers across its cold surface and exclaimed: "Tsk, tsk, it's really amazing! However, there is no body temperature at all to the touch."
He immediately noticed the robot's skin and became even more confused: "Moreover, this skin is smooth and traceless, with no signs of stitching at all? My God, can this skin repair itself like a human?"
Chen Pingping stood aside, her lips trembling slightly, and she asked in disbelief: "Is this... the legendary rebirth technique? No, Your Majesty, how is this done?"
Li Chengze explained: "Although Wuzhu destroyed its driving core, it unexpectedly retained the energy system. For safety reasons, I restricted some of its functions, including the simulation ability that can almost look real. I don't want anything to happen in the future. An embarrassing situation where it is difficult to tell the truth from the false.”
"I also replaced the original laser weapon with an ordinary camera. In this way, its combat effectiveness is maintained at the peak of a ninth-grade master, which is enough to deal with most situations." A sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "In addition, , I also installed a self-destruct device to prevent the temple from having any plans.”
Hearing this, Fan Xian couldn't help but wonder: "You know so much about these machines, could it be that you have had contact with them before?"
Li Chengze chuckled and said proudly: "To be honest, I was once a leader in the field of AI research, so I am naturally familiar with these things. However, the energy system of this robot was beyond my expectation. I thought it was controllable. Fusion technology, that’s not the case.”
He pondered for a moment and continued: "It seems to be able to absorb radiation and convert it into energy. This design is so exquisite that it far exceeds my previous knowledge. There must be extraordinary technological power behind it."
Speaking of this, a trace of expectation flashed in Li Chengze's eyes: "If I have the chance, I must go to the temple to find out what's going on in person, and pay a visit to Senior Ye Qingmei by the way."
When Fan Xian heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "You...you mean Ye Qingmei is in the temple? Is she still alive?"
Chen Pingping also looked shocked and asked: "Your Majesty, do you mean that Ye Qingmei is not dead, but..."
Li Chengze shook his head slightly, with a bit of uncertainty in his tone: "Maybe she has passed away, but it is also possible that she just entered some kind of deep sleep state. In short, everything has yet to be verified."
Fan Xian's vision has been limited since he was a child, and his understanding of the world is still in its infancy. What makes him even more regretful is that when he first became conscious, the figure of his mother Ye Qingmei was forever fixed in the dust of the past. The same was true for Chen Pingping. When he returned to Beijing, he only heard the sad news that the young lady had suffered a tragedy, and the ashes symbolizing the end of life were said to be her final destination.
Li Chengze patted Fan Xian on the shoulder and said with deep meaning: "Fan Xian, there are unknown mysteries hidden in the letters your mother left for you. Just imagine, if you were the fruit of the temple's scientific research, then when you were still just How did Ye Qingmei use her magical power to skillfully implant memory fragments into your mind when she was a baby? Furthermore, since she has mastered the art of rebirth, why can't she escape the shackles of death? "
His eyes flickered and he continued to analyze: "For those who control the pinnacle of technology, the disappearance of the body is just an appearance. The real soul and wisdom may have already transcended the boundaries of life and death. What is even more strange is that Ye Qingmei After his death, Wuzhu, the loyal guardian, began to forget every moment of his time with her, and his memories gradually disappeared like quicksand. Is there a deeper plan hidden behind this? "
Hearing this, Fan Xian felt complicated emotions surge in his heart. He nodded slowly, as if he had realized something: "She must have foreseen everything and knew that her memory would continue. Therefore, in the letter, she was deliberately vague He broke the boundary between time travel and rebirth, just to tell us that she just fell asleep in one world and woke up in another world. Her memory was not lost, but she just changed her body." His eyes were firm and he continued: "So resourceful. How could a human woman not leave a way out for herself? Wu Zhu's memory loss may be one of her carefully designed protection mechanisms to cover up the truth and protect everything she cherishes. His death may be just another form of survival..."
Fan Xian was slightly excited, and he asked eagerly: "Then when can we uncover the mystery of the temple and find the unanswered answer?"
Li Chengze smiled calmly and responded: "It will not be too late to discuss this matter again when the world is unified. Now, we still have many more important things to deal with."
Rewriting to avoid plagiarism and reduce the plagiarism rate while maintaining the original meaning can be done as follows:
"If you go there rashly without careful planning, you may fall into a desperate situation from which you cannot turn back. Fan Xian, if you are determined to uncover the mystery of the temple, you need to help me wholeheartedly." Li Chengze's words were filled with unquestionable determination. Then he turned his attention to Chen Pingping and continued: "As for you, Chen Pingping, the reason why your life has been extended is due to the considerations of Fan Xian and Daqing. The Overwatch Council will still play a key role in the coming days. If If you have any strange thoughts, I will definitely let you experience the feeling of life being worse than death."
When Chen Pingping heard this, she nodded slightly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes: "If I can see the young lady again, even if I die immediately, I will be satisfied. But, Your Majesty..." He hesitated, as if he had expectations.
Li Chengze naturally understood what he meant, smiled slightly and said: "I naturally know your wish. But before that, you need to cure your leg disease, so that you can better serve our Daqing, and also prepare for the possible future. Get ready for the reunion." The words revealed a hint of expectations and arrangements for the future.
Changes in imperial power are often accompanied by turmoil and pressure. However, Li Chengze's world quietly changed due to the emergence of Li Chengyi, allowing him to escape from the heavy responsibilities of the emperor and feel unprecedentedly relaxed. Li Chengyi, this carefully arranged stand-in, silently plays a key role, allowing Li Chengze to have more freedom.
At this moment, Li Chengze walked leisurely into the first floor of the world. His figure made Xu Fengnian stunned: "Eh? Why are you here? The new emperor has ascended the throne. Are you really eclectic when you come and go so freely?" Li Chengze responded with a smile: "Indeed. It’s not a child’s play, it’s just a job for those who are capable. Now that I hold the position of leader of the Tianxiahui, it is also an identity.”
Xu Fengnian was puzzled and asked: "So, you have given up the throne?" Li Chengze smiled with hidden meaning: "The throne is still the same, but the responsibilities are different from before. Dynasties change, and bloodshed is inevitable. To stabilize the imperial power I also need to kill. But I have my heart set on something, and I can’t be restrained by the affairs of the court. I have a more important mission waiting for me, such as escorting you back to Beiliang to reunite with your father.”
Jian Jiuhuang stood aside, holding peanuts in his hands and drinking rice wine. He wanted to interrupt, but he felt that rectifying the dynasty was more important than Mount Tai, so he remained silent. He knew that although everyone was eager to leave Daqing, with Li Chengze's proper arrangements, they would be able to make the trip safely.
After entering the city, Jian Jiuhuang secretly admired the might of Huben and the red-armored warriors, but also realized that they were indispensable in Kyoto at this moment, and their guarding duties were more important than Mount Tai. Therefore, the suggestions he wanted to make were swallowed back in his stomach.
When he heard that the other party wanted to see his father, Xu Xiao, complex emotions surged in Xu Fengnian's heart, and this scene quietly unfolded under the gaze of others, becoming a new memory chapter.
