Chapter 60

How did this Secretary of State of the Calamity Empire, His Majesty's assistant, and one of the symbols of the Empire, Lord Gray Wind, maintain such perfection in hard work.

Bronya even had dark circles under her eyes because of staying up late for days.

Bronya rubbed her tired muscles and continued to discuss the various arrangements for the Everwinter Festival with Gray Wind.

"Besides His Majesty, you also invited the Astral Express, right? Hmm? Trailblazers among the stars? A very interesting group."

"Here, pay attention to this. Although His Majesty's personal safety doesn't need to be worried about, it is always unpleasant if an accident occurs."

"You said whether to arrange security for His Majesty..... is it security protecting His Majesty, or His Majesty protecting security.... I will be personally responsible for protecting His Majesty."

"..... What? You are worried about my safety... Supreme Guardian Bronya, give me fifteen seconds, and I can dismantle your entire star system into gray sand."

Bronya and Gray Wind discussed for about two or three hours, and arranged the two-week festival activities clearly.

The reason why it was so fast was mainly due to Gray Wind's energy that didn't seem to be consumed and her thinking that was faster than a computer.

Bronya felt that if it weren't for letting herself keep up with the train of thought,

perhaps this Secretary of State Gray Wind would only need a few seconds to handle everything.

"Sorry, I took up a lot of your time." Bronya said apologetically.

Bronya didn't know the Empire's administrative system, but she could guess how high the ranking of Secretary of State would be in the Empire.

"Don't worry, it just occupied a very, very small amount of my computing power."

Gray Wind stretched out her finger and gestured to Bronya:

"Communicating with you, I can also handle internal affairs of the Empire."

Bronya smiled bitterly, feeling again that the Empire was so advanced in every aspect.

"You were distracted just now, because of the Post-Death Re-employment Center?"

Gray Wind touched her chin and asked:

"Most of the time that institution is just a place where the Universal Megacorp makes zombies. Only when Aeon beasts are hunted do they have a proper use."

"It's because of that Post-Death Re-employment Center..."

Bronya smiled bitterly and looked at the hanging painting on the wall:

"My mother..... she went astray at the end of her life, so I stood on the opposite side of her....."

"..... When she died, she smiled at me....."

"Was that a smile of relief before passing away? Or was she immersed in the illusion woven by the Stellaron..... I don't know."

Bronya closed her eyes slightly, and the scene at that time appeared in her mind again:

"Or, did she get rid of the hallucination at the last moment, recognize the mistake, and become the gentle mother she once was..."

"I..... I really want to ask her again, hug her again....."

"Do you want to resurrect her?" Gray Wind stood behind Bronya and asked.

"Eh?" Bronya turned her head and looked at Gray Wind, her eyes a bit dazed.

Gray Wind's mouth curled into a smile: "You don't think the Empire can only make zombies, right?"

"We can achieve true resurrection of the dead, let the deceased consciousness reappear in the world, let the dead life move again..."

"..... Like your mother's ordinary mortal body, even if it becomes ashes, the Empire can resurrect her."

"This..... but why would you do this?" Bronya was shocked by the Empire's sudden generosity.

"The Empire's eyes don't just see the present, but also the past, Bronya."

Gray Wind smiled, as if saying Bronya actually thought she could hide it from the Empire's eyes:

"We know that after you killed Cocolia, you were determined to maintain a lie and cover up the original facts."

"The sociology array evaluated this as excellent sociology research material, so sociology index +2."

"It also proposed an interesting follow-up experiment plan: if your mother is resurrected... what kind of changes will your country undergo."

"To be honest, it would be very interesting, right? Maybe it will produce more sociology index?"

Looking at the smile on Gray Wind's mouth, Bronya had goosebumps all over her body and couldn't help but take a step back.

"¨¨ Don't worry, in these days we have also understood each other, you should know the Empire's kindness, right?" Gray Wind waved her hand and said.

Bronya nodded gently.

Although the Empire's values always made her creepy, their generosity and kindness were also real,

especially that Emperor, whose ability to make people creepy and make people grateful was equally powerful.

"I also know that at least some of you are not inferior barbarians... but good children worthy of education."

Gray Wind smiled and said:

"So, the choice is yours..... are you willing to resurrect your mother?"

"This might cause some harm to your society, or it might bring benefits..... it just depends on your own choice."

"..... I." Bronya hesitated.

"Hmm, don't be in a hurry to make an answer."

Gray Wind waved her hand and said:

"The Empire is efficient and patient. You have enough time to make a decision and prepare to face your mother."

".... Thank you and the Empire for your generosity." Although Bronya was full of doubts, she still sincerely expressed her gratitude to the Empire.

"Praise His Majesty, Bronya." Gray Wind placed her hand gently on her chest: "All glory belongs to His Majesty."

After saying that, Gray Wind waved her hand gracefully at Bronya and disappeared in place.

Bronya sat back in her chair with a full head of sweat.

"The pressure from Lord Gray Wind is not small either..."

Bronya sighed:

"Facing that Majesty is like facing the vast stars, so facing Lord Gray Wind is like facing one of the galaxy clusters....."

Thinking of this, Bronya rubbed her eyebrows.

"Resurrecting a deceased person, resurrecting my mother..."

Bronya's heart was full of hesitation. What kind of price would this resurrection bring?

Bronya didn't know. The information was still too little.

She cast her gaze toward the light screen, wanting to see how the Empire resurrected the deceased?

What is the resurrected deceased like?

Bronya couldn't help but cast her gaze toward the light screen...

【"Is death an obstacle to your service to the Empire?"】

【"Deceased, burn your corpses for the Empire!"】

【"The masters of necromancy at the Post-Death Re-employment Center will let your corpses move again!"】

【"Every bone of yours will contribute value to the Empire!"】

The ships of the Empire's subsidiary, Universal Megacorp, sailed into the galaxy and flew toward the body of the Aether Dragon that was slowly decomposing.

Several crew members of the Empire fleet heard the exaggerated promotional sound played on it and couldn't help but scratch their heads.

【"The Megacorp is still so exaggerated. The last time I came to the Megacorp was seventy-five years ago."】

【"Did the seven hundred-person board of directors of the Megacorp forget that we achieved universal immortality a long time ago?"】

【"Only the board of directors of the Universal Megacorp is human, and the rest are alien contract slaves. This is played for them to hear."】

Listening to the conversation of several Calamity Empire fleet crew members in the light screen, all sentient beings in the universe widened their eyes.

"Not relying on the blessing of Abundance, achieved universal immortality... it"

"Not longevity, but immortality?! Do the people of the Calamity Empire have endless lifespans??"

"They say universal immortality, it's as easy as us saying universal fitness....."

"Stop joking, even among the creatures blessed by Abundance, very few possess true endless lifespans!"

"Immortality is technically impossible. Life will always encounter accidents and will always die!"

"Ruan Mei." Herta raised her eyes and looked at Ruan Mei on the side: "Do you think endless life is possible?"

"... At least it's unlikely to be a technology at the flesh and blood level."

(Should I write about Gray Wind first, or about the Vultaum Reality Perforator first?.)

69. 【Eternal Throne, the Holy Throne of the Emperor of the Calamity Empire】

The sentient beings in the universe listened to the words of the Calamity Empire crew members on the light screen and couldn't help but fall into shock.

Immortality, universal immortality.

The vast majority of species in the universe crave longer lifespans and longer lives,
