The Birthday Banquet Officially Begins

Hua Que looked very happy today. He slowly walked from the steps in the center of the main hall to his throne and sat down. Looking at the people below who were bowing to him, the smile on his lips never faded.

"It's been a long time since it's been so lively..." His voice was old, but full of energy. "Many new faces have come to celebrate this millennium birthday. Not bad, not bad~~"

The new faces he was referring to were the subordinate civilizations that came to offer their congratulations. Most of them were in the space age, and their technological development had not yet reached the genetic field. Although their lifespans had increased, they were still within the scope of ordinary people.

A thousand years is a long time for them, but for advanced civilizations, it is just a blink of an eye.

Old people always like to look back on their past glory. Hua Que is no exception. The idea of a millennium birthday came to him suddenly ten thousand years ago. Time flies, and the people of these subordinate civilizations have changed batch after batch. Although their faces have changed, the patterns on their clothes representing their civilizations are still the same.

Looking at the major forces in the universe, who can achieve this level? Apart from me, Hua Que, I'm afraid it would be difficult for a second person to appear, right?

Thinking of this, Hua Que nodded to a male angel below and said softly, "Fred, begin!"

The person called Fred is the highest leader of the Construction Department. Angel King Hua Que's millennium birthday, from the structural layout of the Palace City venue to the various large and small processes of the banquet, was personally handled by him. He is a very capable guy.

As in the past, Fred took out a tablet-like device from his arms and began the opening remarks of the birthday celebration, saying a lot of things. The main purpose was to praise Hua Que's achievements and the Angel Civilization's 'Eternal National Fortune'.

Just when Hua Zhen thought that this guy should end this boring opening with something like "Eat well, drink well, drink well, eat well," he didn't expect that he would open a new light energy projection again.

"Rulers of the subordinate civilizations, this is your first time attending the Angel King's birthday banquet. Now, please come forward and introduce yourselves according to the number plates issued to you by the Construction Department!" Fred said in a flat voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged fat man in elaborate clothes walked out from the subordinate civilizations' area, knelt on one knee, and stroked his chest. He first respectfully saluted Hua Que, and then began to introduce himself, while reporting on the situation of his civilization over the past millennium.

Things like wars with other forces, scientific research achievements, and discovered resource veins, without any omissions. This is one of the main processes of the millennium birthday banquet.

The subordinate civilizations will take this opportunity to tell Hua Que what has happened in their civilizations, a bit like the local governments reporting to the central government. Then, they will present the birthday gifts they brought to show their loyalty. After Hua Que listens, he will carefully evaluate them based on their 'Performance' over the past millennium, and the corresponding rewards will not be lacking.

For the Angel Civilization, the things they offer as tribute may not be worth mentioning, but the rewards they receive from the 'suzerain' Angel Civilization are what the subordinate civilizations look forward to the most.

Their predecessors had told them that the Angel King's generosity at this time was absolutely extravagant, whether it was some cutting-edge technology or some precious resources, there would always be something their civilization needed.

Two hours had passed, but this 'reporting work' was still not over. The rulers of the subordinate civilizations were all enthusiastic, and Angel King Hua Que was also listening with great interest.

Thus, Hua Zhen suffered. Not only was he drowsy from listening, but he also had to cheer himself up. He wanted to move his feet, but everyone else was standing straight.

No, if this continues, I'll be done for. I have to find something to distract myself! Shifting his gaze away from the ruler who was speaking eloquently, Hua Zhen looked at the others in the hall.

The positions of the people in the hall were very particular, arranged from high to low. His current position was on the right side looking in from the hall door, which was the Angel King Hua Que's left-hand side. In front of him were Second Prince Hua Tuo and Left Wing King Miller, and behind him were some Tiangong bigwigs from the Second Prince's faction.

First Prince Hua Ye stood opposite them, on Hua Que's right-hand side. The middle-aged man with silver hair standing next to him, without needing to guess, who else could it be but Right Wing King He Zheng, whose status was equal to Miller's?

If Miller was an approachable subject teacher, then He Zheng gave Hua Zhen the feeling of being a annoying director of the political education office. He was imposing and had a strong aura. Just standing there, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a lot.

He Zheng is a legendary figure in the Angel Civilization. Thirty thousand years ago, Hua Que was able to regain power from the Council of Elders with thunderous means, which was inseparable from the efforts of the He Zheng family.

The young He Zheng adhered to the family's beliefs. From the moment he knelt in front of Hua Que and read the knight's oath, he became the sharpest king's sword in Hua Que's hand. Over the past twenty thousand years, he has cleared away countless voices of disobedience, both internal and external, for Hua Que. His loyalty is unwavering, which is rare in this chaotic era.

Having the glory of the family and the favor of the Angel King has always been He Zheng's proudest thing. In addition, he dislikes Miller, who came from a 'mud leg' background. The two are 'officials in the same court', but they are natural enemies.

As if sensing Hua Zhen's gaze, he turned his head and glanced at him, then ignored him.

Damn, what a pretentious look!

Hua Zhen was most annoyed by people like He Zheng who acted like they were the boss. But thinking about it, he was relieved. He had already seen what kind of person Hua Ye was, so how could He Zheng, as his uncle, be any better?

With an indifferent smile, Hua Zhen's gaze swept past Hua Ye and looked at another person. He couldn't help but be stunned, because while he was looking at that person, the other person was also observing him. He looked eight parts similar to He Zheng, with a tall and handsome figure, and a smooth, fair face with sharp edges and corners.

No, are the angels' genes really that strong? Each and every one of them is either a handsome guy or a beautiful woman. People like Hua Xiong are really rare~ Hua Zhen sighed inwardly and secretly reached out and gave the other person the middle finger.

On the other side, He Xuan frowned slightly. He didn't understand what Hua Zhen's gesture meant, but one thing was certain: it was definitely not a sign of goodwill towards him.

He had been observing this Third Prince for a long time. How should he put it? He felt very special, indescribable. Clearly, he had no power in Tiangong, but whether facing Hua Ye or Hua Tuo, he wasn't like the Fourth Prince Hua Xiong at all.

Has he already joined the Second Prince's camp? he thought, narrowing his eyes.

The "work report" continued for nearly an hour. After Fred presented the gifts from the civilizations under his rule to Hua Que, he announced the corresponding return gifts. The rulers were all overjoyed, their faces filled with excitement. Clearly, the things bestowed upon them by the Angel King were very satisfactory.

After returning to their respective positions, everyone in the hall focused their attention on the two adult princes, because the most interesting moment of the entire banquet was about to arrive.

As the popular candidates for the next Angel King, what kind of wonderful confrontation would there be between the First Prince Hua Ye and the Second Prince Hua Tuo? They were all looking forward to it...

Looking forward to what? Hurry up and finish this dragging on! someone roared in their heart.
