Ice-free port, far away from the city.
A clean white vehicle, like a shuttle, nimbly shuttled among the orderly flowing starships. Its mirror-like hull reflected the surrounding scene in every detail, making it seem invisible and unable to be detected by external forces.
"We're here." Gu Xingqiao put on a half-face mask and his lips moved slightly.
"This is the aftermath of the Great Purge," Tianyuan's voice passed through the white spider on his shoulder and subtly reached the young man's ears. "It has indeed changed a lot."
This Star Harbor City is one of the important turning points leading to the center of the empire. Gu Xingqiao stood on the street and looked around. It had only been a month since he defected, but when he returned here again, he felt as if he was in another world.
After calming himself down, he retrieved the fake ID chip, walked slowly towards the entrance of the checkpoint, and put his wrist upwards.
The small props provided by Tianyuan can invade the identity code archive of the port within a few microseconds, and randomly arrange and extract them, and use legal data to reconstruct a brand new citizen ID.
There was a faint flash of blue light, and the verification was passed. Gu Xingqiao, wearing a mask, just glanced at the sky casually.
The empire's most wanted criminal swaggered into the heavily guarded transportation assembly point.
"Is there any difference?" Gu Xingqiao asked, "Except that the technology is more backward."
The spider's crystal eyes looked around. Tian Yuan said, "There are many differences, but most of these differences are caused by backward technology."
"In the Glorious Age, humans have truly achieved objective immortality. Using a device called the 'Hand of Psyche' that can transfer consciousness, Glorious humans are not afraid of death, nor do they need to be reborn." Tianyuan said calmly, "A group that does not know how to be satisfied is terrible. What's even more terrible is that they have obtained the ticket to indulge their desires."
Gu Xingqiao said incredulously: "Really? People in the Glorious Age can live forever? I didn't know that. The Great Purge destroyed too many records and documents."
Tianyuan said: "Arrogance, indulgence, greed, chaos, such an era can be called glorious. I am not surprised at all by the consequences that mankind will achieve next."
"I don't know the reason for the Great Purge," Gu Xingqiao said frankly as he walked. "Even in the school, or in more in-depth military documents, the conclusions drawn are based on speculation. There is no real truth."
"Because the truth is boring," the white spider raised one of its legs and poked at the ends of Gu Xingqiao's hair out of boredom. It found that a few strands were tangled, so it used another leg to slowly untie them. "There is no special reason. It is simply because of the law of prosperity and decline that the glorious human beings, wearing wax wings, voluntarily flew to the destined sun."
"At that time, everyone was Elagabalus wearing a crown; everyone was Trimalchio who devoured to his heart's content; everyone was Lamezia, the favorite concubine of the Moor, who could fill an entire lake with rose water to satisfy her own fantasy." The tone of intelligent life was indifferent and detached. "The extravagance that Roman tyrants needed to write all the history books to denounce was just a virtue that was not worth mentioning at that time. Murder, sadism, jumping into the gradually decaying stars... Because death was rejected throughout life, even rushing into the doomsday to revel was a pleasure that could be happily accepted."
