Extraordinary pedigree

Chapter 488: Factions within the Kingdom of Heaven...

The huge crystal door in front slowly opened. The intricate crystal structure on the door began to rotate and move driven by the internal machinery, making a series of pleasant yet mechanical sounds.

【Ding--】

With a clear "ding" sound, the door finally opened completely, revealing the passage to the outside world.

With the end of all the appointment ceremonies, Xia Xiu slowly walked out from the depths of the crystal tower. The sunlight shone through the crystal door, reflecting rainbow-like light, adding a bit of solemnity and majesty to his figure.

Not long after he came out of the crystal tower, he saw the old man with white hair and childish face, holding an exquisite cane.

Mu saw Xia Xiu coming out, with a gentle smile on his face.

He nodded to Xia Xiu to express congratulations, that action was full of respect and approval.

Xia Xiu stopped under Mu's gaze and bowed respectfully in return.

Afterwards, the two stood opposite each other in the spacious and bright [Azlut], and Mu led the young junior towards the passage leaving the fourth floor.

"Congratulations, you have become the decider of the Kingdom of Heaven."

On the way, Mu once again expressed his congratulations to the young fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven.

"The prefix "preparation" must be added in front, and I have to wait until the beginning of the new year to officially have the power to initiate, implement, supervise, appoint and remove resolutions... and the transition period will take a long time. No one can I can’t tell who’s name will be on the final list of thirteen.”

A humble smile appeared on the face of the blond young man, which looked particularly sincere and warm under his golden eyes.

"Indeed. The change of office is not only an organizational change and personnel adjustment, but more importantly, a political handover."

Mu nodded, and then continued along the topic.

"Now that you are in the position of a decision-maker, this means that you have to officially stand in front of the world and make a political statement of genealogy - you must make a clear-cut oath to the [Utopian Program] and remain loyal.

Now, the most important thing for you is choice.

There are three core factions of Utopia in the current genealogy, and these three mainstream factions must each have a majority of seats in the current or next resolution meeting of the Thirteen List. You can either choose a faction to join, remain non-factional, or create a new one.

And no matter which one you choose, in the end it just represents your different understanding of the [Utopia Program] - Eden and even other core supervisory agencies, including the Sword Holders, will never allow political struggle to take precedence over the implementation and advancement of the program. Human supremacy, whoever is the thorn in the way of the Kingdom of Heaven to the end of this shore is the enemy of the Kingdom of Heaven. "

When Mu said this, his fingers involuntarily clenched the cane. From the flash of cold light in his eyes, it could be seen that the old man thought of an old friend who had rebelled.

Messiah……

At this time, Xia Xiu was so blessed that he and the old man thought of the existence that was rumored to have cut off one third of the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Rumor has it that during the dramatic changes in the Kingdom of Heaven, Mu chased 0-13, who was blessed by the Four Monarchs and the Red King. They fought from the present world to the ether, and from the ether to the [Crystal Sky].

In the end, 0-13 was snatched away by the Four Monarchs in the [Sunless Sea] of deep ether space.

What happened after that was that the Messiah appeared in Terra under the guise of changing the kingdom of heaven and the world, and started running around and causing trouble.

If there is a list of popular decisions in the candidate competition, then the siege of the Messiah must be at the top.

The Messiah holds a large number of [Indulgences] that were split from the authority of the Kingdom of Heaven. Part of the establishment of the Honkai Administration Bureau was to recover the [Indulgences]. Xia Xiu is also the top debt collector of the Bureau [debt collector agency] Or, he had previously dealt with an incident involving the country's extraordinary independence that was bewitched by the Messiah.

He had a hunch that he would continue to tangle with these guys in the future.

Xia Xiu silently suppressed this issue that he might pursue in the future. Taking advantage of the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart chat with the living fossil walking in heaven next to him, he wanted to learn more from him.

"I remember that the Kingdom of Heaven had earlier formulated a supreme resolution called [Utopia Plan] based on the program. After that incident, Eden reiterated the promotion of the plan and revised some of the contents of the plan, so now Is the Five-Year Plan itself a transitional stage of the [Utopia Plan]?" Xia Xiu asked Mu.

"The Utopia Plan was born out of the core program. The core of the plan is the three major programs formulated based on the current situation of Terra - to eradicate the existence of gods in Terra forever, to eradicate all internal disputes in Terra with absolute force, and to return all power to the Kingdom of Heaven.

At present, the three core mainstream factions have different understandings of the three major principles.

Eden's renewed plan is nothing more than to make the three core factions active again and express their attitude to the outside world.

[Hakoba Project] is one of the three mainstream views within the spectrum. Multiple angel groups gathered under this view form the mainstream core faction, and the Anabaptists are the leaders of this faction. Anabaptists are currently the most powerful in the Inquisition, and more than half of the six presiding judges are Anabaptists.

This time in the Iberian incident, the [New Lisbon Island Hub] had the participation of Anabaptists who hoped to promote the implementation of the [Hakoniwa Plan]. They might even want to thank you this time, because you allowed them to find 'good stuff' on the hub. "

After hearing the good things about [New Lisbon Island Hub], Xia Xiu instantly thought of something.

"You mean...Avalon system?"

"Well, the Anabaptists have found the mastermind of the Yisrath race hidden under the hub. They have recovered the mastermind, and through the decision-making assembly seats within the Anabaptists, they have rushed to activate the few [secret jurisdictions] before the change of term. , including it in the special research program.”

Mu nodded and confirmed Xia Xiu's guess.

Adam had already mentioned the so-called [secret jurisdiction] once when Xia Xiu was investigating on Callisto.

Only members of the resolution meeting have [secret jurisdiction]. [Secret jurisdiction] is one of the restrictions on Eden by the resolution meeting. Eden has no right to conduct any content encrypted by the jurisdiction during the members of the resolution meeting. Reading and interference; only the Ethics Committee can access 5% of the jurisdictional backbone information for observation. When it observes that the backbone encrypted content is detrimental to heaven and mankind, the Ethics Committee has the right to initiate a no-confidence proposal for decryption.

At that time, the decision will be made to gather other internal members and Eden to review and evaluate the content and determine whether the jurisdictional content is reasonable.

"Because of the 0-13 incident, the Ethics Committee requested that the jurisdiction's access rights be raised to 25%, and that most of the past sealed documents be released and decrypted; the resolution meeting and Eden agreed to raise the access rights to 25%, but only raised it to 10%. At the same time, they refused to release the sealed documents.

The Ethics Committee was naturally dissatisfied. The negative impact of 0-13's betrayal was huge, so the Inquisition and the Knights also joined in later, putting pressure on the resolution meeting and wanting to further restrict the jurisdiction's encryption authority.

The final result of this matter is that the resolution meeting allows me, as the arbiter, to read the encrypted content and sealed documents of 35~45% of the jurisdiction.

So, I have read the documents of the Anabaptists, and there is no problem with the content and direction. They want to use the Avalon system as one of the shelter systems in the world of Hakoniwa. Of course, they are not using the mastermind of the Yis race, that is just They are just consumables for experiments. The name of their mainstream asylum system is [Rutland], which is a very interesting system. "

Mu Ye said words in a calm tone that made Xia Xiu feel ashamed.

When snipes and clams fight, the fisherman gets a profit; when a man sits at home, power comes from heaven. Xia Xiu said secretly in his heart.

The arbitration authority of the resolution assembly [secret jurisdiction] is a valuable treasure for other core institutions, especially the ethics committee.

As another system independent of the administrative system of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Sword Holder itself has a transcendent status.

As the fourth sword holder, Xia Xiu initially enjoyed the political benefits brought by this status. After Eden became the fourth sword holder, he sent a large number of tasks to him in order to stabilize the benefits brought by this status. benefits, and at the same time prevent him from being prematurely involved in programmatic disputes within the genealogy.

But now that he has officially become the decision maker, his existence has become subtle.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is pro-Eden and the secular faction - the label he carries is: an earthly angel supported by Eden, a graduate of Deer Garden, the second-in-command of the Administration, and the fourth sword holder in heaven.

His greatest current political asset is that he is from a lineage of sword-wielding men.

Because the sword-holders stand at the top of the heavenly force system, they are the representatives of individual power and the holders of the single heaven-based system.

And if Hugh Abraham is singled out as an individual, his legendary experience also has extraordinary influence.

In addition, the widely circulated "persona" of a non-extreme angel from the pro-[pseudo-human] group.

When all these things are added up, the impression given to others by the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven is... very subtle.

He violated the customary rule of not interfering in politics, which is the default rule for sword holders, and he himself made no secret of his ambition.

These all express their own behavioral propositions.

Of course Xia Xiu also understands this, but becoming a decision-maker and entering the highest power center of the Kingdom of Heaven is itself one of his future career plans.

In his previous life, he had understood the importance of financial statements and career planning, the climbing tools that facilitated his upward climb.

There is no need to elaborate on the reasons for moving up. The pursuit of higher levels is an internal motivation in itself.

If someone says that there must be other drives besides inner motivation, then his own thoughts are germs.

Nasty and narrow thoughts are like germs, creeping in the human body very slowly. They cannot live anywhere for a long time, until the entire human body is occupied by it.

This humble little thing is the main culprit of the rot and withering of the body.

Therefore, everything you grasp turns into brilliance, and everything you give up turns into coal.

Thinking is important, but action on thinking is faster than speculation within thinking.

On the way out, Xia Xiu chatted a lot with Mu.

From the other party's mouth, he knew a lot about the aftermath of the Iberian incident.

For example, the First Swordman and the Iberian [Miracle Man] fought fiercely for a long time on the fifth etheric guide chain.

At the moment before the "Great Silence" broke out, [Quetzalcoatl] risked the miracle of being shattered in an attempt to get rid of the delay of the first sword holder.

Naturally, the number one sword holder who is also a [Miracle] and possesses a single space-based system is not afraid. He will fight to the point of madness and see who he can compare with.

In front of angels, the enemy's madness will only lead to even more maddened counterattacks.

The battle between the two Miracles left a big hole in the fifth guide chain.

After the Great Silence ended, the fighting between the two sides finally stopped.

The First Swordsman has been deployed to the front line of the Sea of ​​Chaos to suppress evil spirits, and Saint James has also returned to Iberia, which is full of chickens and feathers.

In addition to the struggle between the two Miracles, there is also the pursuit of the Yith race. After the [Extermination Order] was issued, countless group space-based weapons tried to locate the [Monster Sea] planet where the Yith race is located. The opponent has A quarter of the [Bull of the Sky], so it can move the planet to escape.

The cluster attack of the [Extermination Order] only destroyed two-thirds of the planet's creatures. When the Kingdom of Heaven was about to destroy the [Sea of ​​Monsters], the Yisi race brought the remains of the continent and crashed into the new world built by the Edici Federation in the ether and the real world. In the world, he voluntarily became an affiliate of [Financial Street] and [New World Tree], and exchanged and sold his extraordinary assets to seek refuge.

The new world of the Edici Federation has formed the so-called "plane world". Under the power of the [New World Tree], the new world is like layers of matryoshka dolls.

If the nesting dolls near Terra used to be "hubs" similar to the other world, then the new world of the Edici Federation is a larger hub nesting doll. The plane world of their nesting dolls is larger. The Edici Federation is trying to build a huge dimensional world comparable to the galaxy through [Financial Street] and [New World Tree].

The Four Monarchs, the Red King, the stars, the living gods...

They were very optimistic about Edici's plan, so they continued to bet generously.

With the generous funding of these "big capitalists", the New World has developed three thousand worlds and countless small worlds (hubs).

If the inflation of its plane gets out of control, it can swallow Terra in turn.

These new systems that are completely different from the current world are called dimensional (virtual) financial systems by the Edici Federation, while the current financial system is called the physical financial system by them.

Now that the plane system is booming, the physical system is extremely weak.

For [Financial Street], flow is fundamental, and both planes and entities must flow.

Whether big capital or small capital - flow is the root of everything.

The core of economic activity is the flow of resources, goods, services and money.

Finance must flow; to stop means destruction.

This is an immortal monster created by human beings. Unless the absolute ideal of communism comes, finance will never die.

When [Financial Street] was born, its projection spread all over Terra's human forces, and even the Kingdom of Heaven was forced to generate one of its projections.

And it cannot be destroyed, it can only be emptied out - the emptied financial wreckage of the Kingdom of Heaven was finally taken away by the Messiah.

However, this does not mean that the Kingdom of Heaven has got rid of [Financial Street], because a new financial projection is ready to move within the Kingdom of Heaven. However, because the financial debris has been dug away, and with the strong suppression of Eden, the cycle of the birth of new projections has been infinite. It's just been extended.

Now, in order for the financial balance on both the entity and the plane to not get out of control and lead to financial collapse, Edici must start raising interest rates to control inflation.

Imagine that Edici has a system called the "Twelve Federal Reserve Banks", which is responsible for controlling all flows on [Financial Street].

This system determines how much interest you have to pay when borrowing money from other banks.

It's like you borrow money from a friend and the friend asks you to pay some extra money as interest.

When Edici Federation decides to "raise interest rates," it means it makes other banks pay more interest when they borrow money.

The idea is to make it less easy for banks, companies and ordinary people to borrow money because it becomes more expensive.

When people borrow less money, they will spend less money, which can slow down the rate of price increases, that is, control inflation.

Once the Edici Federation raises interest rates, it will inevitably lead to the outflow of financial capital from other countries, especially emerging financial countries, thus affecting their currency values ​​and financial stability.

Central banks in other countries may have to adjust their monetary policies to deal with the impact of Edici's interest rate hikes, such as raising their own interest rates to protect the value of their currencies and prevent capital outflows.

The most troublesome thing for Terra now is that [Financial Street] invites the gods to join the game.

Now, the gods are absolutely big capital. They are interested in increasing their bets and using [Financial Street] to bypass [Crystal Sky] to play with Terra.

The Edici Federation wants to pull all the forces of Terra together to play balance on leverage. The five-year plan of the Kingdom of Heaven is not a kind of resistance to the financial wave.

Of course, the gods could not "buy" everything on Terra through finance.

This is unrealistic. Tyra’s extraordinary pedigree extends beyond just finance.

Finance is never the absolute subject of life, it is only a conceptual value constraint for individuals and most groups.

In the extraordinary realm of [Financial Street], it is just a contract of extraordinary value that will inevitably lead to backlash if violated.

A single individual's violation will lead to death, but the vast majority of group violations will inevitably lead to a situation of common destruction.

A complete financial collapse will only promote the war that is sweeping the world.

When a piece of bread is too expensive for ordinary people to pay, then they will choose to die together.

When [Financial Street] and the gods' unscrupulous behavior offends the interests of all extraordinary beings and humans, they will also choose to die together.

The competition of force, the manifestation of violence and authority, the appearance of death and the end...

These may be the foundations of life and even genealogy.

It is an undoubted fact that the Kingdom of Heaven is an absolutely violent institution, and it has the highest and most essential authority to confer death and finality on others.

What all lineages and civilizations strive for is the essential authority to grant death and finality to others.
