185: Lin Ye is back
Theocracy and monarchy are contradictory.
Faith and democracy are also contradictory.
The two can coexist, but one must be primary, otherwise, terrible internal strife will arise.
If faith spreads, angels are clearly unwilling to be subservient to Blue Star's system, and intense conflict is bound to occur.
The Orc Empire is nominally monarchy-led, but even a fool can see that theocracy has completely gained the upper hand, and monarchy is merely a tool for theocracy to manage its believers.
Even their High Priests are followers of angels.
Lin Ye found it difficult to handle, but such contradictions are common in the universe; many Life planets encounter such situations.
There are many experiences that can be drawn upon, and it will take a lot of time to deal with them; the Demon God Cult also needs long-term handling, as it is hidden quite deeply.
Then let's deal with the space pirates first.
Lin Ye set his sights on the space pirates.
The vastness of the universe provides fertile ground for these pirates to breed; the space pirate forces in the Galaxy are not strong, and dealing with them is not too troublesome.
However, the main thing about these guys is that they are annoying, like mosquitoes; they will suck your blood whenever they get a chance, and they run incredibly fast when you try to deal with them.
But, pirates, your natural enemy has arrived.
Lin Ye revealed an ill-intentioned smile.
"Bring all evidence of space pirates who have harassed human forces," Lin Ye instructed a secretary at his side.
Yang Hongyu intended to relinquish power after Lin Ye returned; this position looks glamorous but is actually stressful and thankless. Now that someone is willing to share the pressure, he is naturally extremely happy, so he specifically assigned a team to assist Lin Ye in handling matters.
"Yes, Chief Lin," the secretary quickly left and began to gather evidence of space pirates left by various planetary law enforcement teams.
"Lin Ye, what are you going to do?" Yang Hongyu asked, puzzled.
The surrounding officials who were observing were also baffled.
"I have some methods to deal with space pirates," Lin Ye did not hide it.
"Oh? That's great; these flies are truly annoying," Yang Hongyu was very happy but did not inquire further, as it was not appropriate. The deeper Lin Ye's methods were hidden, the better.
Next, the Blue Star humans began to welcome their great man from Blue Star—Lin Ye.
Lin Ye's contribution to thoroughly bringing Blue Star into the interstellar era is undeniable.
All human media began to report the news of Lin Ye's return.
"Humanity's super genius—Lin Ye returns to Earth; we humans will ultimately reach the peak of the universe."
"The direct disciple of the Galaxy Lord, our human race's strongest—Lin Ye returns; enemies, tremble!"
"Lin Ye returns, citizens of Blue Star, welcome this hero's arrival."
Countless media gathered at the Star Realm Administration. At this time, the Star Realm Administration, or rather, the entire Sky City, had expanded countless times.
Lin Ye was surrounded by dense crowds of reporters, electronic paparazzi, and others, answering questions one by one.
His arrival was like divine assistance for the revitalized human race.
The interview lasted a whole day, and even Lin Ye was a bit overwhelmed. He wasn't tired physically or mentally; the main reason was that the reporters' questions were too tricky, often leaving Lin Ye utterly bewildered.
For example, the following questions.
"Mr. Lin Ye, how do you view the Galaxy Lord's benevolent nature? Do you have confidence in earning his favor?"
Where did these fujoshis come from? What is 'vying for favor'? Lin Ye refused to answer this question.
"Mr. Lin Ye, it is rumored that you and Inspector Qing Feng have an unforgettable story. Is this true?"
Lin Ye broke out in a sweat. Where did this news come from? They're not even the same species, and they have an unforgettable story? Get lost.
"Mr. Lin Ye, Queen Alice once said you are the person she admires most. Is there any ambiguity between you and Queen Alice?"
Alice? Queen? Lin Ye didn't expect Alice to have become the Elf Race Queen, but he certainly refused to answer such a question.
To prevent such irrelevant questions from appearing again, the Star Realm Administration politely asked all the gossip media to leave.
The remaining questions were relatively normal.
The media's obsession with gossip truly exceeded imagination; they dared to fabricate anything, even if it was baseless. As long as there was a man and woman with some connection, they could twist it into a scandal, and this seemed to be the key to traffic.
However, it's likely no media would dare to publish Lin Ye's scandals; the people who asked the questions earlier were probably just testing Lin Ye's attitude.
As the interview concluded, overwhelming publicity dominated every section.
Humanity spared no effort in promoting Lin Ye; he was even elected as the greatest figure in human history.
From preschool onwards, every child had to learn about the great man, Lin Ye.
Upon learning of these circumstances, Lin Ye was somewhat moved. After a thousand years away from Blue Star, his legend still circulated on Blue Star.
This was undoubtedly the result of the upper echelons' tireless promotion; otherwise, Lin Ye had done nothing else particularly influential for a thousand years, making it impossible for him to leave such a formidable reputation.
The reason why the human high-level officials spared no effort in promoting him was, on one hand, truly because Lin Ye's identity as the Galaxy Lord brought too many benefits to humanity. On the other hand, it was also to retain Lin Ye's heart.
If a person deeply loves a collective, but that collective does not love him, then sooner or later, there will be discord.
For the next period, Lin Ye embarked on a long journey of courtesy visits.
Blue Star's Xia Country, Beautiful Country, Mao Xiong, etc.
Factories, mining areas, armies, and so on located on non-Life planets outside Blue Star.
Also the Dwarf Race and Elf Race of the Star Realm.
The Three-Eyed Clan, Eka Clan, Mohe Clan, and others in the universe.
During this long journey of courtesy visits, he also learned about the current state of humanity.
Within human territory, although various countries still retained their organizational structures, they were actually nominal. Now, everyone was a citizen under the same federation—the Blue Star Federation. National governments were abolished and divided into regions, managed uniformly by the Blue Star Federation.
Planets outside Blue Star had a large number of factories, military bases, etc., all uniformly governed by the Blue Star Federation.
The Blue Star Federation also began construction in the Star Realm, taking advantage of the fact that most of the alien beasts had been cleared by the Demon Invasion, occupying a large area of territory. It took a lot of time to digest these territories, and the population was once in short supply.
In the universe, races near Blue Star successively submitted and became human vassal races, and even the Three-Eyed Clan was no exception. The reason for this undisputed outcome was, on one hand, that humanity had become irresistibly strong, and on the other hand, humanity's foreign policy had always been relatively good.
For example, the Mohe Clan, by following their human big brother, was well-fed and well-off, surpassing the Eka Clan by a considerable margin.
And with the support of these vassal races, humanity's strength also greatly improved.
In the Star Realm, full diplomatic relations were established with the Elf Race and the Dwarf Race, allowing citizens of the three races to travel freely. Now, many cities on Blue Star can see Dwarfs.
As for Elves, they are relatively rare; they prefer nature, so most remained in their homelands. A small number were sent abroad for study, diplomatic exchanges, or entered the entertainment industry and universities to spread the Elf Race's influence.
