Forty thousand years later, he became a god in the warp

Lin Heng took the elevator, repeatedly thinking about what he had talked about with Caroline, and constantly guessing what Helton was thinking. According to Caroline, Helton's behavior was a betrayal of the country and should be hostile to all the people of the empire.

But Lin Heng is not a citizen of the empire. He has his own ideas. What if the other party is an insurgent? Hating the injustice of the world and the incompetence of the government, he rises up to resist the Yellow Turban Rebellion?

To be honest, after Caroline pulled him like this, Lin Heng couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking. It was estimated that this was the time to determine whether his behavior was good or bad.

"Ding"

Arriving at the top floor, the elevator door slowly opened, and the maid looked at the two and said, "Please wait a moment. The Lord is holding his daily petition. Please sit for a while."

Lin Heng nodded and sat on a chair outside the door. Caroline also sat down with a frown.

"I'm not nervous yet, why are you thinking about it so carefully?" Lin Heng said.

"I don't know. I feel like Lord Helton has changed a bit. I remember that when he was tasked with investigating the factory collapse, he was quite grumpy. But when he came to me to ask about you, he softened a bit."

"Gentle? Isn't that better? If you lose your temper and say something that doesn't suit your eyes, wouldn't I be sentencing you to death?"

"Well... I hope so. Anyway, his thoughts seem to have changed a little. You'll know later." Caroline seemed a little annoyed and rubbed her temples with her hands.

...

"You two, the lord invites you." The maid stepped forward and said.

The two looked at each other and walked into the room.

In the room of the Lord's Nest Tower, there are sofas, carpets, huge French windows and various artworks that Lin Heng cannot understand. Rather than being an office, it is more like a private room.

Lin Heng glanced around, looking at the flying birds on the canvas. Just as he was about to get closer to take a closer look, Lord Helton's voice sounded from behind him.

“Do you like art?”

Helton was wearing a red robe with gold trim, which was thick and gorgeous, and looked very much like the emperor in Lin Heng's memory.

The other person's entire body except for his head was hidden under his clothes. He was half a head taller than Lin Heng and looked at Lin Heng with a slight smile.

"Uh...it's okay, just take a look."

"Hehe, please sit down."

Lin Heng found a chair and sat down, but when he looked up, he saw Caroline standing next to Helton.

My heart tightened for no reason, but then I thought, it's understandable for subordinates to stand behind their leaders.

"I've seen the video of your steel fist match. You fought quite well. You took advantage of the opponent's psychological pride and seized the opportunity to defeat the enemy. It seems that you are very good at boxing."

"Uh-huh"

Lin Heng nodded slightly embarrassedly. He thought this old man would get straight to the point, but he ended up chatting with him about family matters. This didn't seem like a threat to him, which made Lin Heng not know what to say.

"You know, I also made a living by boxing in my early years, not for fame, but to make a living. I joined a gang and fought with the enemy, and later I was appreciated by some middle-level people. I did a lot of shady business for them, some of which should have killed me now.

But I didn't die. Instead, by chance, I got in touch with the upper class nobles. I kept providing them with goods to satisfy their selfish desires. Until one day, they invited me to watch a boxing match. I found that the boxers' skills were not very strong, so I also participated, and I won the championship after winning all the way.

From then on, I started to have smooth sailing, becoming a noble, a politician, sitting in a high position, and becoming a lord!"

Lin Heng nodded. It was true that comparing oneself with others would make one feel dreadful. His situation was almost the same, so why was it so difficult? It felt like wherever he went, he would be doomed. Now that he was at the Lord's Nest Tower... Lin Heng didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"It feels good, right? But if you knew the price of becoming a lord, you might not envy me anymore! Because the position of lord is not what I want to take on, but when I first started to integrate into the upper class, I was really happy. This was a kind of recognition of me and a recognition of my ability.

They invited me to various banquets and used various methods to seduce me, causing me to degenerate. I became a beast that only knew how to enjoy pleasure. And I was happy to see this situation. After all, wasn't I thinking about becoming a rich man in the beginning? I envied the life of the upper nest, and now I have it, I should be happy.

Hehe, now thinking about it, my thoughts at that time were really naive to the point of being hilarious. Those nobles might have liked my stupid look, the kind of stupid person who had no contact with the real world and had a promising future.

Later, when I dragged my exhausted body to the ring, before I even opened my eyes, my opponent shattered my legend with one punch, and I returned to the bottom of the stinking ditch overnight. Just when I wanted to end my life.

The nobles extended their olive branches again and pulled me up. Having tasted the bitterness of loss, I wanted to be devoted to them after receiving their help. The nobles also liked to see me like this.

So, many years passed, and with their help, I finally stood at the top of this nest tower! I became the most glorious lord in the eyes of ordinary people.

It's a pity that they don't know that the lords are often just empty figures. Every day when you open your eyes, hundreds of thousands of people eat, drink, defecate and urinate. All the important tasks are in your hands, but you need to apply for and beg for resources from those nobles!

I am like the most humble clerk in a certain corner, sitting at the desk all day, waiting for the arrival of documents, and handling daily official business without stopping for a moment.

As time went by, I became more and more sober. During this period, I thought about ending my life again, but my heart persuaded me not to give up this luxurious life. I was shaken. But I also really woke up.

...Lin Heng, let me ask you, do you like Chaodu?"

Helton told his story in a series, and Lin Heng felt a little overwhelmed. It turned out that Helton was the shield and scapegoat of those nobles. No wonder the other party's tone was so helpless.

Lin Heng thought back to what he had been through. He could say that he hated Chaodu. When playing games, everyone knew to develop slowly, but he ended up having a difficult start. Although he didn't know if this was the highest difficulty, Lin Heng was lucky enough to be alive until now. He didn't like Chaodu for this.

"Nest City?" Lin Heng shook his head.

Helton sighed, as if recalling his initial struggle for survival, and said:

"I hate the Hive City. From bottom to top, I have been to every corner and have had contact with every level of power. I have even been involved in their businesses. It can be said that I have supported part of the dark side of the Hive City.

You are from the bottom nest, you should know what is going on down there, even if what you know may only account for a small part!"

Lin Heng thought back to his beginning and realized that he had done a lot of things against his will in order to survive. Even if he had allowed Yak to shut down the reactor and no civilian casualties had been caused, they would have been without food for a few days.

"Yes, the Bottom Nest is not a place for people to live. Only smugglers and vicious criminals would want to enter the Bottom Nest to seek a chance of survival. No normal person would like someone from the Bottom Nest.

The bottom nest, the middle nest, the upper nest, and the nest tower! Four areas, four classes. Where you are born basically determines your life. In the bottom nest, you won't even live to a full moon. In the upper nest, you will have eight servants to take care of you before you even have a full moon. It's unfair, but it's your fate.

You may be able to change this at all costs, but what I want to say is that behind those nobles, there is a huge network of interests that are intertwined and formed. Where there are leaders, there will be followers. Leaders do not want to lose their rights, so they want to avoid resistance from those they lead.

They organized an army to eliminate anyone who dared to change the status quo. Some leaders felt that it was unfair, so they called on people to resist and fight for their own interests. So other leaders organized people to assassinate secretly. The mainstream of the upper nest is the black hand lurking in the dark, covering your mouth and slitting your throat. "

Lin Heng got the hint after listening to it. It seems that Helton is still thinking about...change?

"You want to change this situation?"

"Hahaha, I knew you were smart and could understand what I meant. That's right, I want to change this hive city. I want to make it better. There won't be any secret collusion among the nobles, all institutions will be able to operate perfectly, and all people will get rich through hard work instead of relying on schemes and violence, drugs and pornography!"

Wow, Helton's ideals are quite noble. Lin Heng certainly supports doing good things, but he has to use the right methods.

"Then why did you want to assassinate me? And what about those looters near the suburban settlements?"

"As I said earlier, my guards are not even as numerous as any other guild, so I need to recruit soldiers. It's difficult for me, but I am very persistent. For the sake of success and for the people, I can use any means!

When someone reported to me that you were found, I thought my plan was exposed and that I was being targeted by other nobles, so when you returned to the hive, I immediately sent assassins to follow you.

But I didn't expect you to go deep into the nest and fight with Caroline. You didn't even have any reason to fight! And do you think the nobles care about the problem of dealing with the aliens? They even treat it as a joke. If you attend the banquets of those nobles, you will know how terrible the nest is in their eyes.

By the way, you came to the Upper Nest but continued to investigate, so I couldn't tell what you were thinking, you were totally unsteady, so I sent someone to hunt you, but you killed them brilliantly. I was very curious about you, so I used my connections to find your friends.

That is Caroline, after talking to her, invite you to come to the Nest Tower."

"Then..." Lin Heng was a little surprised.

After hearing what Helton said, Lin Heng felt a huge sense of disappointment. He had thought that the other party would be a warlord who was preparing for rebellion and wanted to seize other places by force. But now it seems that he is a revolutionary who is ready to sacrifice his life for the country and the people!

"If that's true, then what's the purpose of you calling me here?"

"As I said, I am short of manpower, and talents like you should be used by me. You even dare to go deep into the alien's nest for your friends. Such great friendship is exactly what the people of the hive city lack now! So, I want you to help me.

Help me accomplish this great ambition! Help me clean up the enemies in the hive, help me fight against the corrupt empire, and let us build a utopia where everyone is happy! "

Lin Heng looked at Caroline, who was looking straight ahead and not communicating with him. Lin Heng thought about it and roughly understood Helton's idea.

Clean up the power of the hive city, unite with other hive cities, and change the corrupt power structure. This is indeed no different from treason, but it is a development in a good direction. However, Lin Heng couldn't help hearing this. In order to ensure supplies, almost all the soldiers in the No. 3 barracks died!

Aren't their lives worth living? Is there no other way to accumulate strength? Lin Heng said angrily.

"With power concentrated, everything in the hive is under control. Death is certain, and individual happiness is insignificant compared to collective happiness! Look at the environment of the hive! Look at this unbearable inside story. As someone from the bottom hive, don't you know more about it than me?

I have thrown my personal interests behind me. I am fighting for the entire hive world! I am not rebelling against this shitty guild, I am rebelling against this corrupt empire! But before that, I will bide my time and get rid of all the idiots who are content with the status quo! Those who love the empire will also die. If I can't finish it in ten years, I will do it in twenty years. If I can't finish it in twenty years, I will do it in thirty years.

If anything can't hold on any longer, replace it with machinery. Even if I only have a head left, I will spread my thoughts throughout the galaxy!" Helton also slapped the table and stood up.

But then he apologized for his aggressive behavior.

"You can guess my thoughts, which means you are a person who knows how to keep a low profile and understand the greater good, so I hope you can think about it carefully. You should know that this hive city is only a corner of this planet and this star region, and it can't even reach the scale of being called a hive city.

There are tens of thousands of planets out there. Don’t you want to see the real beauty? Explore the ocean of knowledge and witness all kinds of wonderful and majestic landscapes? "

"I.."

As soon as Lin Heng opened his mouth, Helton raised his hand to stop Lin Heng from speaking.

"We still have time, so you don't have to give me an answer right now. Just continue to participate in the boxing match. You can see for yourself the extravagant life of those nobles, which is much more suitable for you than for me to tell you.

Lin Heng, I, Helton, sincerely hope that you can join my camp! "

After Helton finished speaking, Caroline bowed to him and motioned for Lin Heng to follow her.

Helton watched the two men leave and slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. His face was reflected in the window, and it was an extremely strange smile.

"Jiejiejie..."
