Chapter 206: Emperor Han's meeting with the God of Death, discussing the new king of the gods
With Carl's signal and Snow's personal execution, the entire Styx galaxy quickly prepared to welcome Liu Xie's arrival.
Liu Xie did not keep Karl waiting for long. After recalling Lu Bu and other Han generals, Liu Xie entered the conscious state.
Surrounded by Lu Bu and other Han generals, Liu Xie soon crossed the insect bridge and arrived directly at the gate of the Death Song Academy.
"Wow? What a grand ceremony!"
When Liu Xie saw everything that Carl had prepared carefully for Snow, he could not help but express his feelings to the Han generals such as Lu Bu around him.
However, Lu Bu felt that there was no problem at all, and said: "Your Majesty has arrived, and this is reasonable for them."
In his opinion, his emperor should be treated like this wherever he goes, and those who did not give their emperor such treatment in the past were all ignorant people.
But Zhao Yun had a different opinion. He also said, "Death God Carl is not someone you can easily deal with. According to our understanding of him, he is a guy who is extremely good at disguising himself. Be careful that all these superficial efforts are just for show..."
Just like when Holy Kesha was still around, Carl was very respectful in front of Holy Kesha, and all his actions were just for Holy Kesha to see.
Now, there is no guarantee that Carl will treat the big man in the same way.
If the big man was paralyzed so easily, his fate might not be much better than that of the angel.
"Heh, Zilong is right. We can't just look at this god of death from the surface."
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Liu Xie agreed with Zhao Yun's statement without waiting for other generals to speak.
But when it comes to disguise and acting, Liu Xie has never been afraid of anyone so far.
Liu Xie then instructed Lü Bu and other Han generals: "Don't act rashly without my order. Wait for me at the gate of the Death Song Academy. I will go and meet this Death God Carl."
After saying that, Liu Xie walked out directly with his ceremonial guard, then walked through the welcoming team carefully prepared by Snow, and finally walked straight into the Death Song Academy.
As soon as he stepped into the Death Song Academy, Liu Xie couldn't help but look at and observe the internal structure of this ancient building, which has a history of at least tens of thousands of years.
Although relying on his understanding of the original plot, Liu Xie has always had a general impression of the scene of Death Song Academy in his mind.
However, at this moment, when he was inside this ancient and magnificent building, Liu Xie had to admit that the feeling given by the Death Song Academy was indeed incomparable to any other building in the Han Dynasty with a thousand years of history.
It's not that the Han Dynasty has not yet built a building that can compare with the grandeur of the Death Song Academy, but because the buildings of the Han Dynasty have not carried enough things so far and have been built for a short time.
Therefore, it is not like the Death Song Academy, where one can feel the heavy atmosphere of time just by looking at it...
Continuing to look and observe the internal structure of the Death Song Academy, Liu Xie was also looking for something.
That is the portrait of Liang Bing hung on the wall by Carl.
This also seems to be something that must be checked in when visiting the Death Song Academy. Before, no matter who came to the Death Song Academy, they would take a look at it.
Now that he had the opportunity to visit the Death Song Academy in person, Liu Xie would of course take a good look at it to see what charm the portrait of Liang Bing had that made Carl hang it for tens of thousands of years and that made the gods passing by stop and take notice.
Soon, Liu Xie's eyes were fixed on the portrait that he also wanted to see.
In the portrait, Liang Bing has golden hair and wears silver armor, looking like the King of Apocalypse.
However, the feeling that Liang Bing in this portrait gave Liu Xie was indeed different from the real Liang Bing he had seen before.
If Liu Xie didn't know the original plot and had never known Liang Bing, based on this first impression alone, it would be hard for him to imagine that this person would become the greatest evil in the known universe.
On the contrary, when Liang Bing came to Earth in person, he met Liang Bing in person for the first time.
The feeling that Liang Bing gave him at that time was that she was very...evil.
Even though Liang Bing at that time used the same face as in the portrait...
Through this portrait, Liu Xie can now roughly imagine how beautiful and charming the normal Liang Bing was at the beginning. No wonder she attracted Hua Ye and made him obsessed with her. No wonder Karl also felt regretful!
"Even you can't understand why the angel Liang Bing in the portrait suddenly changed her personality and became obsessed with the war with her sister Kesha, and eventually degenerated into a so-called demon, right?"
Carl appeared behind Liu Xie at some point, and as if he had guessed what Liu Xie was thinking at the moment, he asked Liu Xie directly.
"Yes, I don't understand."
Hearing this, Liu Xie didn't turn around, but continued to look at Liang Bing's answer.
Even if he knew the original plot, he really didn't understand it.
However, even though he didn't understand, he still didn't engage in conspiracy theories or anything like that, trying to figure out who might have turned Liang Bing into what she is now.
After all, a drastic change in temperament can indeed occur due to psychological, physiological, environmental... and other factors.
As mentioned before, the so-called gods and super warriors in the known universe are actually just some "people" who have mastered powerful forces!
Since they are "human beings", they can also be judged by common sense.
Liang Bing is a fourth-generation god and still has her period, so how can she be like a normal person whose temperament changes drastically due to various factors? What's so strange about that?
is not it?
"Did you draw this?"
After a while, Liu Xie turned around and looked at Carl and asked.
"Yes, this is Liang Bing from when we were at Shenhe College, researching space-time genes together..."
There was a hint of reminiscence in Carl's eyes.
"Oh……"
Liu Xie nodded, and at the same time he understood that the portrait was actually Liang Bing in the best state in Karl's mind.
It is often said that a work is the author's way of expressing his emotions, and this is also very appropriate here.
It seems that Karl misses the Liang Bing of those days very much.
As for the current Liang Bing, or Morgana, he may just have a normal mentality.
"It's a pity that now there is only the Demon King Morgana, and the angel Liang Bing can only live in the portrait forever!"
After understanding Carl's thoughts and emotions when he painted this picture, Liu Xie couldn't help but make a joke.
While teasing, Liu Xie was also looking at Carl seriously.
Well……
He was basically the same as I remembered, wearing a black robe and hiding himself in the hood of his cloak.
In this case, it is no wonder that Snow always dresses like this. It seems that he learned it from him.
Apart from that, Carl gave Liu Xie the impression of being "humble" and "harmless".
It was not like what was said in most civilizations in the known universe. The God of Death Carl was a being that made people tremble when they saw him. After experiencing Carl's camouflage ability in person, Liu Xie couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it seemed not unfair for Kaisha to be tricked by Carl.
Carl could behave like this in front of him, and even made an exception and asked Snow to prepare a lot of welcoming ceremonies for him.
It is conceivable how servile Carl was in front of Kesha before.
Liu Xie was observing Carl and constantly evaluating him in his mind.
At the same time, Carl was also looking at Liu Xie carefully.
It was also at this time that Carl immediately felt that Liu Xie was different.
"The form that Your Majesty the Emperor of Han is using now is the so-called consciousness form that you used when you fought against Emperor Hongkun before, right?"
Carl asked Liu Xie.
When he formally started talking with Liu Xie, he chose to use the words "Han Emperor" to refer to Liu Xie.
Moreover, he also used the term "you" to address Liu Xie, which he would only use when Kesha was in front of him in most cases.
"Your Excellency the God of Death, you have a keen eye and saved me from having to explain further."
Immediately, Liu Xie also replied very politely.
As they were talking, the two of them took their seats as host and guest respectively.
After sitting back in his seat, seeing that Liu Xie did not want to explain in this regard, Carl tactfully did not continue to dwell on this topic.
So he had to change the subject and ask: "I wonder what His Majesty the Emperor of Han thinks about the future of the known universe?"
"Before Holy Kesha went offline, the known universe was a theocratic universe dominated by angelic civilization."
"The universe is ruled by various gods, and the gods are ruled by the Holy Kesha, the king of the gods. Thus, an order called "divine power" was gradually formed."
"But after Holy Kesha went offline and the angel civilization was no longer able to dominate the direction of the known universe, the known universe fell into a state of disorder again."
"This state of the known universe is a carnival for the gods, but it is an absolute disaster for some weak civilizations. Many civilizations have completely disappeared from the known universe in the past hundred years..."
Carl talked incessantly and said a lot.
From explaining the so-called theocracy, to the formation of the theocracy order, to the current state of the known universe, he analyzed it all in great detail in front of Liu Xie.
"So what does the God of Death want to change the known universe into?"
Then when Carl paused, Liu Xie didn't know what Carl wanted to do for the time being, so he chose to ask back.
After Liu Xie asked, Karl was very direct and expressed his thoughts without any concealment, or to say that he had already agreed to what Hua Ye and Ruoning wanted.
"My original idea was to let Hua Ye's male angels regain control of the angel civilization and restore the previous order of the Heavenly Palace to manage the known universe..."
Before Holy Kesha, in fact, when Hua Ye was in power, the angel civilization was already considered the most powerful civilization in the known universe.
At that time, Hua Ye, the King of Heaven, could also be regarded as the king of all gods in the known universe.
Many of the things that have continued to the present day in the Angel Civilization were also conquered when Hua Ye was leading the Angel Civilization.
To be clear, Hua Ye, the king of the ancient heavenly palace, must have made contributions to the angel civilization.
Just like the female angels including Holy Kesha, when evaluating Hua Ye and the scum under his command, they would only use words like "brutal" to describe them, but never deny their achievements.
Therefore, if Hua Ye is allowed to return to the ruling angel civilization now and helped to upgrade so that he can keep up with the times, he will definitely be able to continue to stabilize the known universe.
It was precisely because of this that when Karl heard Ruoning recommending Hua Ye to return, he agreed without saying anything.
He will need the known universe to remain relatively stable for a period of time, so he must have someone like Hua Ye who can hold the situation to come to power.
As for Hua Ye's return to the ruling angel civilization and his dominance over the direction of the known universe for a long period of time in the future, whether this is a good thing for the known universe is not within Carl's consideration.
"However, Your Majesty the Emperor of Han, you seem to have a different opinion on this? Hua Ye suffered a great loss at your hands before, and he came to me and wanted me to ask for your opinion."
Carl continued.
In this way, he was laying his cards on the table and clearly asking Liu Xie whether he supported Hua Ye's coming to power.
"Or, Your Majesty, do you want to become the new king of the gods yourself?"
Karl then asked Liu Xie another question.
"Hahaha, Mr. Death, you must be joking. How could I have such a thankless idea?"
Liu Xie shook his head and smiled, "To borrow a phrase that Pan Zhen of Lieyang used to say, I am always thinking about the safety of the Han Dynasty and the future of all its subjects."
"I am only the emperor of the Han Dynasty. No matter how many more, I am only the emperor of the two galaxies, the Milky Way and the Dawn. As for the rest of the places, even I would like to take them for myself."
"But the universe is so huge, it is enough to overwhelm my ambitions. I don't have the energy to possess so much."
"Because of the remaining time and energy, I also want to consider myself and the people around me, and think about how we can live a better life."
"So, I will never be like Holy Kesha and devote my entire life to the so-called management of the universe..."
This is also the truth. If one day Liu Xie really reaches the point where he looks down on the universe and is invincible in the universe, he will not limit himself to the so-called "King of Gods".
Now, the Han Dynasty's base is large enough, and he only needs to take this base and move forward firmly along the originally planned path.
There is absolutely no need to add more burden to yourself.
Unless doing so would bring great benefits to himself and the Han people.
Only then would he be able to think about becoming the so-called "King of Gods".
Then he will become a hands-off boss, be the God King himself, and let others do the work.
"So what His Majesty the Emperor of Han wants to say is that Hua Ye should be made the new king of the gods. It doesn't matter to you, right?"
After briefly understanding Liu Xie's meaning, Carl asked Liu Xie again for confirmation.
"Yes, but I still care about the agreement in the theocratic meeting initiated by Morgana."
Liu Xie corrected slightly.
Although he has no intention of becoming the king of gods now, it does not mean that he will be so generous as to throw away things that he has already obtained and nominally belongs to him.
