Chapter 27: Emperor of the Borisin (Patreon)
Content
【To prevent the Foxian forces from growing too powerful and creating a dynamic where civilian officials are valued over the military, you devised a series of policies.】
【For instance, Foxians serving as civil officials could calculate data, formulate plans, offer suggestions, write documents, and so on, but they held no authority to make final decisions or execute them. In simple terms, they were treated as basic functionaries like clerks and accountants.】
【You did not completely abolish slavery; you merely eliminated heinous practices like using Foxians for alchemy or as blood food.】
【In your eyes, the Foxians were excellent tools for maintaining your rule and could not be disposed of wantonly.】
【To force the Foxians into fierce internal competition, you stipulated that only by passing rigorous selections to become civil officials, artisans, or researchers could they shed their slave status. You even gave them a pleasant-sounding title: Honorary Borisin.】
Victor couldn't help but wipe the non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead.
As a transmigrator, he was well aware of how terrifying this kind of internal competition could be.
The 'himself' in the simulation was starting to learn how to be inhuman from certain people, which was truly terrifying.
【Your reforms inevitably infringed upon the interests of many. Although they were different evolutionary paths of the same species, it was a long-standing tradition for the Borisin not to treat Foxians as people.】
【The slightly more forward-thinking hunting packs used Foxians as cannon fodder, which was already considered merciful. Some remote and backward hunting packs directly used Foxians as sacrificial offerings or blood food, indiscriminately slaughtering and hunting them.】
【Now, you suddenly forbade them from wantonly killing Foxians and even elevated the status of some, making you a traitor who defied ancestral traditions in the eyes of these tradition-bound hunting packs.】
【Furthermore, you had previously forcibly abolished the tribal elder council system and slaughtered all opposition, offending nearly all of the top-ranking, powerful hunting packs.】
【Soon, they formed a massive rebel army and marched against you.】
【The Borisin who didn't join the rebels weren't on your side either; most Borisin factions chose to watch coldly from the sidelines.】
【On one side was the rebel army, comprising nearly half of the total Borisin population. On the other was your lone hunting pack.】
【The rebel leader boasted: 'Five billion against one hundred thousand, the advantage is mine no matter how you look at it!'】
【Then, the rebel army was refined by you in an instant.】
【After you completely refined and fused this terrifyingly immense power of Abundance, your strength soared to an unbelievable level.】
【Now, you could proudly declare: 'Below the Aeons, I am invincible!'】
【Unfortunately, the gap between an Aeon and an Emanator is too vast—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they exist in different dimensions. You couldn't make the wild claim of 'taking an Aeon down with me.'】
【Only after refining five billion Borisin did you finally understand why the people of Abundance could rarely tolerate one another; mutual enslavement and consumption were the norm.】
Victor was lost in thought.
The nature of the power of Abundance is overly selfless and altruistic. This makes the energy so pure that anyone who obtains it can fuse with it and convert it into their own power with almost no side effects.
He even suspected that if Yaoshi were to imitate Aha and pour all the power of Abundance into an insect, the insect wouldn't explode but would instead become a monster comparable to an Aeon.
The basis for this was the 'plot' where Hoolay willingly offered the 'Crimson Moon,' along with his own consciousness, to Feixiao for consumption.
After Feixiao overcame Hoolay's consciousness, she integrated this power of Abundance into her body with virtually no side effects.
It's worth noting that the scale of this power of Abundance was nearly on par with that of an Emanator.
As a result, after consuming it, Feixiao just had a 'drunken fit,' and returned to normal after March 7th hugged her leg.
Moreover, Feixiao's loss of control was most likely due to Hoolay's residual consciousness.
Not only did Feixiao show no side effects from fusing with this immense power of Abundance, but she even managed to eliminate the hidden danger of the 'Moon-Mad' state.
Those who knew would say Feixiao was a Sky-Striking General of the Xianzhou; those who didn't would think she was an Emanator of Abundance~
It's impossible that Lan just glanced at her and completely eliminated the risks of the power of Abundance, right?
Victor pushed the question to the back of his mind and returned his focus to the simulation.
【Now, no one could stop you from implementing your reforms.】
【Several centuries later, having undergone major reforms, the strength of the Borisin had advanced by leaps and bounds.】
【At this time, the Borisin had become a great empire that spanned the cosmos, named the Azure Wolf Empire. Compared to the era of the third Shuhu invasion, the overall strength of the Borisin had skyrocketed by more than several dozen times.】
【Today's Borisin possessed advanced equipment, well-established armies, and a complete industrial system, having truly become a grave threat to the Xianzhou Alliance.】
【The Xianzhou Alliance repeatedly dispatched joint forces from multiple Xianzhou ships to encircle your Borisin empire, but they suffered heavy losses and retreated in defeat each time.】
【The Xianzhou Alliance also deployed multiple Sky-Striking Generals at once in an attempt to assassinate you. In the most dangerous encounter, you were besieged by the Xianzhou Marshal Hua and three Xianzhou Generals.】
【With your powerful regenerative abilities, you effortlessly overcame this seemingly fatal predicament.】
【Now, the only one who could possibly kill you would be an Aeon taking action personally.】
【Although the Xianzhou Alliance could implore Lan to intervene personally, the conditions were extremely stringent. It required the use of the Cloud-Piercer to pinpoint a location, and it could typically only be used for wide-area strikes.】
【You weren't an idiot; if you couldn't block it, couldn't you run? At your speed, you could easily escape the Cloud-Piercer's targeting.】
【Unless the Xianzhou Alliance went mad and dispatched more than three Generals or Marshal Hua herself to hold you down and perish together with you.】
【This was clearly impossible.】
【The Xianzhou Alliance despised evil and had made many enemies. Not to mention the followers of Abundance, the Antimatter Legion also coveted the Xianzhou Alliance with greedy eyes.】
【Once the Xianzhou Alliance was severely weakened and unable to recover quickly, its enemies would not miss such a golden opportunity.】
【Therefore, from that point on, the Xianzhou Alliance was somewhat at a loss as to how to deal with you.】
【You yourself held no particular affection for the Borisin, seeing them merely as tools. Coupled with your sadomasochistic relationship with Jingliu, you held no ill will towards the Xianzhou either.】
【The Azure Wolf Empire and the Xianzhou Alliance actually maintained a rare period of superficial peace for quite a long time.】
【Your power had reached a bottleneck. Barring ascension to Aeonhood, it would be difficult to make another qualitative leap.】
【'I've worked so hard for so long, can't I enjoy myself a little~'】
【With this mindset, you began to focus on pleasure.】
【The Borisin loved to hunt, especially hunting Foxians as prey and blood food.】
【You also enjoyed 'hunting,' and your targets were also Foxians.】
【However, the target of your hunt was beauty, and the hunting ground was your harem.】
【Compared to the wolf-headed, human-bodied Borisin, you naturally preferred the charming and graceful fox-girls. After all, although you were a furry, your tastes weren't that extreme.】
【As the saying goes: what the ruler desires, the subjects will passionately pursue.】
【Some Borisin began to consciously cultivate high-quality fox-girls. In particular, some Foxian tribes known for producing beautiful women started to receive special attention, which indirectly improved the treatment of the Foxian tribes.】
