Empire Spring [Rebirth]

When William saw his father again, he almost couldn't believe that the haggard old man opposite him was the man who once stood at the top of the empire.

Neither the original high spirits nor the original sharp eyes, but the tightly pursed lips and indifferent expression are still a little bit like before.

"Father." William stepped forward and looked down at the former head of state, but at that time he did not call his father.

The old man looked at him coldly, and finally said, "You really disappoint me."

It wasn't because he made the father and son proud for so long, and it wasn't because he didn't reunify the empire, but because his most proud son almost fell into the hands of an Omega.And now, they are still together.

William had a lot of complicated emotions at once. He thought of the expectations he had for this father, he was discouraged, and he decided not to rely on anyone's strength to climb to that position by himself. There was resentment in his heart.But seeing that the old man is like an old lion, only a majestic skin is left on the outside of the skeleton, all the emotions faded away again.

He thought, the inheritance of blood is really a strange thing, in some respects they seem to be the same, such as the forbearing desire for power, unscrupulous calculations, and scheming.However, it is different in some aspects, for example, the desire for a certain person.

That person is indispensable to him, but it doesn't affect him at all to negotiate terms, William thought, he will eventually become the kind of person he used to despise the most, and perhaps, the person will eventually become the person he hates the most look.

William found a place in Capital Star and built a private house for the old head of state to retire from. He was also accompanied by the legal spouse of the old head of state.

For that Omega, it was unthinkable to live and die in the same bed with the head of state, but now it has to be realized in this tomb-like house.He had to take good care of the surly old man and try to make him live longer, otherwise their son would not even be able to mine asteroids.This is the price he paid for his original choice.

At the beginning, many officials of the puppet government were liquidated, and many were preserved. However, the old Fokker did not live until the day when he was sentenced. After all, he had already lived for too long.However, before he died, he held a high position as the Minister of Finance, and his only grandson looked after him, which did not make him close his eyes at ease.

Old Fox left all his wealth to Tommy, betting that William would not do anything cruel to his former playmate.

It's just that Tommy felt ashamed of his old friend and was very confused, so he took the initiative to donate most of his property to support the construction of the new capital star.

William didn't refuse.

But at this moment, he had no time to waste time on these trivial matters, nor did he have any more side with Tommy.

Today's empire cannot be compared with that of its heyday, and the territory of the empire has shrunk by half. However, William used force to attack the smaller half of the empire, and then established a new order and absolute centralized rule.

So from the start, the government put extremely strict controls on gender transitions.The switching reagents are uniformly produced and used by the government. People need to submit sufficient reasons and be reviewed before they can be approved, and the number of approvals for each gender is also limited, which fundamentally curbs the situation where the sex ratio is out of control.

This actually deviates from Chu Qi's original idea, but his ideal has been realized outside the central galaxy.

On those planets where the rulers did not realize the importance of supervision, or there was no supervision due to perennial wars, or the superiors themselves benefited from this change, under the chaotic market order, it was fully realized. Free transition of gender.

In this case, Alpha is the most popular. Whether it is an Omega who is unwilling or a Beta who suddenly feels that the future is bright, everyone chooses to become Alpha in a flock.

Only in this way, there are not enough Omega in the marriage market for marriage, and the ones that Alpha wants and can breed are only those people at the top of the pyramid.

The Alpha with most of the bottom-level genes and limited resources is no different from the previous Beta, and it is not even as good as the original Beta partner who can queue up to receive a number from the government and wait for the system to allocate, so at least they can have a partner.

As a result, Omega has become a scarce resource, and there is even an upsurge of human trafficking on the black market again. Betas and even Alphas who have not been gender-transformed are captured, forced to inject conversion agents to turn them into Omega, and then sold to those who need a marriage partner and get out. Alpha of starting price.

The vast majority of these victims are still people at the bottom of society. For a while, the social turmoil made everyone feel insecure, which instead gave William the opportunity to expand his territory outward.

The flag of the Imperial Army was slowly planted in the galaxies other than the Central, and at the same time other forces were gradually expanding, eventually forming a three-legged situation.

The war is temporarily over.

"Is this the world you want to see?" William said to Chu Qi when he stepped on a scorched land that had been baptized by war.

This is the first time they've talked about it, after years of getting back together.

The love, hatred and paranoia of the past have faded in the long river of time, and once again facing the estrangement that has been between the two for many years, both of them are more calm and objective.

Chu Qi pondered for a long time before opening his mouth softly: "The transformation of any thing requires a price. What people need to ensure is the correctness of the direction."

"Sure enough, it's still the indifferent and ruthless Professor Chu Qi." The smile in William's eyes flashed, and he looked at the devastated land in front of him and sighed, "If you had waited a little longer, and waited until I became the head of state, I would help you promote you. Will it be another result?"

Chu Qi shook his head: "You really won't help me at that time."

"Well." William admitted, "Probably the same as the government decision in your previous life. Lock you up, but they won't kill you."

"But it's impossible to promote the results." Chu Qi said with a smile.

"Well, so you don't regret it." William looked at him and said lightly.

"Yes, I don't regret it." Regardless of the point.After speaking, Chu Qi smiled at him, "Do you regret it?"

What answered him was William's lips pressed down in an instant.

This is a September with the fragrance of golden osmanthus, a noble school in the capital star welcomes a group of new students.

The difference from before is that some of this batch of students are from other galaxies outside the galaxies governed by the empire, as the first batch of international exchange students.

Among this group of international students was an Alpha, who was extremely beautiful and lovely with blond hair and blue eyes. His eyes looked like the sea under a clear sky, clean and deep, with a hint of melancholy beyond his age.

Soon, all grades in the whole school were sensational, and everyone ran to the door of the first grade classroom to visit this little male god from a remote galaxy.

Adam felt a little troubled, but his good upbringing allowed him to still show a friendly smile when facing these overly enthusiastic classmates.

Before leaving, his two fathers told him countless things, one of which was: try to build a good relationship with your classmates.

Soon, Adam received countless confessions.

In this top aristocratic school in the empire, the students come from superior backgrounds, and most of them are of innate gender.Therefore, there are all kinds of tricks in the confession letter. Some of them boldly confessed to be his Omega, while others made a solemn promise to become an Omega for him, and a small group claimed to protect him and hoped that he would His own Omega, this made Adam, who has always been calm, a little bit dumbfounded. He kept these confession letters and went to school as usual as if nothing had happened.

Not everyone understands that his cold treatment means tactful refusal, and they always stop him halfway unwillingly, and then Ai Ai wants to say something under the gaze of those deep eyes but can't say it.

Adam said "Sorry" and turned to leave.

The other party refused to let him go, and grabbed him. Adam subconsciously fell over his shoulder, then said "sorry" again, and continued to walk in the rhythm of the previous steps.

"What an arrogant kid..." The senior Omega senior, who was watching everything by accident, sighed, "But that face is so pretty, and the movements are so pretty, I can't help it after looking at it for a long time. "

The Alpha next to him snorted noncommittally, and also felt that this new student was too pushy.

Adam was studying in a remote galaxy before, and his progress was not the same as that of the capital star, so he needed to spend a lot of energy to supplement his studies in his spare time.

The place he chose for tutoring was the city library. He got up early in the morning and sat by the window of the library, and started to read books and do the questions seriously.

The morning passed quickly, and he took the unfinished book and planned to borrow it home to continue reading.

The person who handles the book borrowing procedures at the book lending office is the Alpha senior who I met by chance before but never spoke to.He works part-time in the library and has been paying attention to Adam for a long time. At this time, he picked up the book to read and found that the book this freshman was reading turned out to be "A Brief History of Pheromone". For the current coursework, this level of reference book It seems a little too difficult and profound.

Senior Alpha was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. He picked up the book and scanned the barcode but heard a ding dong, so he raised his eyes and said to Adam: "Your borrowing authority is not enough."

"I'm sorry, I'll change one." Adam took back the card he had registered with his student status before, and exchanged for another black adult card.

In addition to borrowing books with their own certificates, students can also use their direct blood relatives. This is also a normal thing nowadays, and Senior Alpha didn't pay much attention to it.

But when he picked it up to swipe it, he was surprised by the authority of this card. The top secret files can be borrowed, so this freshman from a remote galaxy actually has a deep background in the capital star?

Alpha is also from a famous family. During the turmoil, the family chose to stay on the capital planet at all costs. They were the most loyal defenders of the empire, and they were also given extremely high honors after the re-establishment of the country.He basically knows everyone of the same age in that circle, but he has never heard of relatives in remote galaxies.

After Adam left, he looked at the back of the other party playfully, and suddenly he couldn't control his curiosity.

Going to school the next day, Alpha got a piece of unpleasant news. Omega, who had already tacitly agreed to the relationship, proposed to break up, saying that he would pursue his junior in an open and honest manner.

Can this be better? Alpha threw the textbook angrily, and issued a challenge letter to the overly arrogant student as usual.

Adam felt a bit of a headache, he didn't want to cause this kind of thing when he first came here, but this situation was also mentioned in his father's account, the solution seems to be: win the opponent first, and then tell him that this duel is useless meaningless.

Adam followed his father's advice, and actually beat his senior who was a head ahead of him.

How can this be? Alpha senior thought with a dark face.

Adam pulled him up gentlemanly, then raised his head and fixedly looked at the senior's disheveled but hard-to-disguise handsome face, and said seriously: "Even if you beat me, you may not win Omega's heart. There is no difference between the two. There is no necessary connection, so this duel is meaningless."

Senior Alpha looked at him bitterly.

"Of course, I didn't intend to fall in love in school, I hope this can help you." Adam added.

Alpha wanted to say a few harsh words, or taunt him mercilessly, but asked out of nowhere: "Why?"

Adam froze for a moment, and replied: "My Omega father said that falling in love is the most beautiful thing in the world, and it is also the scariest thing in the world. He hoped that I would touch it when my mind was mature enough. Regret, but also to avoid missing those moments that shouldn't be missed due to irreparable mistakes."

"It seems that your father is really a gentle and affectionate person." Alpha sighed, suddenly felt that it was a pity that Adam was not an Omega.

Adam shook his head and said, "I don't know what kind of person he is."

"I'm sorry, I..." Alpha suddenly realized that he seemed to have touched the opponent's restricted area.

Adam understood the other party's scruples, and quickly explained: "No, although he is not in very good health, he is still alive. I mean, he is silent most of the time, but occasionally what he says sounds very interesting. reason."

"He taught you very well." Alpha seemed to have forgotten the fact that he had just lost to the opponent, and chatted with great interest.

Adam shook his head again: "He only gave me general guidance, and didn't say much about other things. Instead, my adoptive fathers gave me a lot of detailed instructions, such as how to deal with challenges from others."

"So are you using it to deal with me?" Alpha suddenly felt a little annoyed, but if he was really angry about it, he would have confirmed it, so he couldn't express his emotions to death.

Adam smiled: "Senior, you are also very cute."

Alpha was short-tempered, but couldn't help his curiosity, and continued to ask: "The card you used in the library last time, did it belong to your biological father? Because I remember that identity verification is based on blood relationship, and adoptive father should not be allowed. "

"Well, I live with them now."

It sounds like his family environment is a bit complicated, Alpha suddenly felt a soft emotion in his heart, and listened to Adam's explanation.

"My Alpha father is very busy and I don't usually see him often. Omega father is not sociable and is very careful in front of me," Adam smiled, "But I know they love me, so that's fine."

"Hearing this, you will feel that your mind is very mature." Alpha said with a complicated expression.

"So can we fall in love?" Adam joked, "Now you are the senior, are you confessing to me? Are you willing to become an Omega for me?"

Alpha who was two levels older than him finally ran away.

Looking at his back, Adam thought wistfully, after spending a little effort to deal with this leading figure in the school, the campus life in the future should be very peaceful, right?But what's the point of a life that can see the end at a glance if it's as peaceful as his father?

At an appropriate time, Adam considered his words and asked his Omega father about this issue.

That Omega is no longer young, but his gestures are full of maturity, he is still the most beautiful person Adam has ever seen, and he replied: "In a person's life, there is always someone who wants to do it no matter what, but It's a pity that you can't actually do it. To me, there are only two such things. One has been completed and the other is in progress. So even if it seems nothing special, looking at you and this World, my days are peaceful and content, you don't have to worry about me."

Adam half understood.

Omega's father cooks and prepares the dinner himself. Although his health is not very good, every time Adam returns from school regularly, he will personally prepare a table full of dishes, which taste as good as the most upscale restaurants outside.This made Adam wonder if his father had been a cook when he was young.

When they had dinner together, they ate together and watched the speech of the leader of the empire on TV. The Alpha's own aura even overwhelmed his appearance, and it was easy to make people feel intimidated and forget that he was actually a handsome man. Too old man.

That was Adam's father.

Adam looked at the person in the light curtain with some awe, and then heard Omega's voice: "The head of state wanted you to inherit his position, but it also depends on your talent and interest. I didn't quite understand this at first. It’s the idea of ​​being a father, but when I see you, I hope that you can grow up happily, and don’t even encounter any difficulties and setbacks in your life. This is obviously impossible. What I want to tell you Yes, having your own ideas, judgments and what you want to do is more important than anything else. Whether you want to be the next head of state or something else, as long as it is your choice, the head of state and I will unconditionally support it You do it."

His voice is light, as if there is not much emotion in it, but what he said has proved everything.

Adam was a little moved. He looked at the thin father in front of him, got up and gave him the warmest hug between a child and an adult.

Chu Qi almost shed tears.

William, who had just entered the door, saw this scene and walked over with a smile: "So you are all there."

Chu Qi looked up at his Alpha, at the man who was already standing at the top of the pyramid.Today's government is running more efficiently and orderly under his hands, and the people are enthusiastically supporting their head of state like never before. Who will remember and care about the tragic price paid before?

Even Chu Qi, now he can't remember many things clearly. The overdose of hallucinogens left after all the sequelae. He can no longer perform those precise calculations and rigorous reasoning, and he can't even take too long to recall. past.And in those gradually blurred memories, there is only the gaze of that person every time, which will never be forgotten no matter what.

Chu Qi slightly raised the corners of his lips, timely catching a trace of tenderness in the other's eyes.

After surviving those lonely and severe moments, it will be the spring when the flowers are in full bloom.
