After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 682 utterly vulnerable before absolute force

"Okay, I believe you can understand..."

Ye Jin'er poked at the steak on her plate and said, "But I've discovered something..."

“Just talk, don’t play with the food. If you’re not going to eat it, give it to me,” Ye Sanqing said.

"I ate it!" Ye Jin'er subconsciously wanted to protect the steak, but he suddenly remembered that his fighting skills were actually inferior to Ye Sanqing's.

I was speechless for a moment.

No amount of privilege can withstand absolute force.

"Seriously speaking, I should say that I only gradually developed this idea after you came. Of course, at that time I didn't know this was a game world... It seems a bit chaotic, I mean..."

"You mean you've also awakened as an NPC?" Ye Sanqing asked in surprise. "That's still quite early."

"It's somewhat like awakening, but it's not to the point of knowing the essence of the world. It's just that my previous ideas seemed too self-evident and simplistic."

Ye Jin'er took the steak seriously and continued speaking.

“I never doubted my privileges before… I knew that everything I had was the result of my mother and older sister’s hard work, but that was all I knew. When I found out that this was just my setting as an NPC, I did have some doubts about life.”

Ye Sanqing smiled faintly, "What's wrong? Isn't it good to reap the benefits without sowing? I'd like to."

"Why do I feel like you're laughing at me? By the way, could you tell me about your past?"

Ye Jin'er remembered that they hadn't discussed this matter directly, so she casually asked.

"Because there's not much to say, and if I had to say something, it would be a chronicle of an interstellar empire."

Ye Sanqing shook his head.

Just when Ye Jin'er thought she had refused, she added, "However, I can say a few words."

"Which is worse, being set up as an NPC or being produced through genetic experiments? Actually, both are worse. At least for me, this is not the world I wanted to be born into. I'm referring to my birth in my previous life, not my transmigration."

"As a perfect product, it's impossible for it to have any problems. But luckily, I don't have a predetermined fate. Otherwise, I should have died during the bloody coup and wouldn't be here."

Ye Sanqing's eyes were indifferent, as if she were not recounting her thrilling past, but rather the story of some unrelated person.

"A coup? Weren't you born the crown prince?"

“I am, but not everyone agrees with this decision,” Ye Sanqing continued, “when I was very young, probably in my early twenties…”

"Although I really don't want to interrupt you, I really want to know, how old are you?"

Ye Sanqing always gave vague descriptions of time, so Ye Jin'er didn't know the specific numbers.

Ye Sanqing wasn't trying to be deliberately vague; it's just that when you live long enough, many things become less important.

"Over two hundred years old. Don't look at me like that. The way time is calculated in interstellar time is different here. Although we are all humanoid beings, our lifespans are different. Two hundred years old is just middle age."

"After you say that, I feel like it'll be hard for me to treat you like a little sister anymore..."

"It's your question..."

"Never mind, you can continue..."

However, to be fair, Ye Sanqing doesn't really exude any signs of middle age.

She was still very combative and full of energy... This was precisely why Ye Jin'er was surprised.

Or rather, a past life is ultimately a past life, or someone else's past life, so it's normal to have a blurred sense of it.

"Then there was a coup, the reason being that someone wanted to become emperor himself." Ye Sanqing sneered, "After gaining my grandmother's favor, he didn't know who he was, and it was nothing short of chaos in the harem... Oh, sorry, my grandmother is the First Emperor."

"Yes, so your grandmother was the founding emperor, who conquered the country, but she misgoverned it, giving the harem an opportunity to launch a coup?"

This event is recorded in many history books...

Ye Jin'er never expected that the Interstellar Empire was actually an empire.

“Yes.” Ye Sanqing recalled for a moment and said, “He almost succeeded. But he shouldn’t have messed with me.”

"Power given by others is always given by others; only what you take into your own hands is truly yours."

"And what about your previous parents?"

"Imperial power, military power, and the power of the research institute are not interconnected... To put it simply, my father was the director of the research institute, and my mother was the Grand Marshal. The change of the throne did not affect their positions."

"Conversely, they also cannot influence the throne. This differs from the world's perception, but it is determined by the political system."

"You mean..." Ye Jin'er looked incredulous, "They just watched you fight the rebels all by yourself?"

"So, parents? They're just gene providers." Ye Sanqing shrugged. "It's all because my grandmother liked girls, and she valued my mother's fighting ability, so she did a lot of genetic experiments to create me."

“My father was just an integral part of this process; more specifically, he was the one who conducted the experiments. There was no affection between them, let alone any affection for me.”

"Not to mention him, even I would find it ridiculous to develop feelings for one's own experimental subjects."

"Although I also think it's a bit ridiculous to talk about bloodline inheritance in a technologically advanced place like the Interstellar Empire, that's how it happened."

"and then?"

Although being born and raised as an experimental subject sounds like a rather tragic story, Ye Sanqing's expression remained completely unchanged when he recounted it.

"Then I grew up in the palace, and every day I was not with my relatives, but with all kinds of teachers and coaches."

"But it doesn't matter if I don't have the love of my family, because I can't feel it anyway. In the end, I won the coup and got the throne... I won't go into the details, it's a bit bloody."

"Then came two hundred years of peace and stability... Just kidding, I wish I could, but in reality it was a constant war. That's how it is in interstellar space; if you don't fight others, they'll come and fight you."

"I'm done speaking."

It was quite rare for Ye Sanqing to say so much at once. After she finished speaking, she picked up her cup and drank some water. "Is there anything else you're curious about? Everything else should be in the documents."

"The previous materials rarely mentioned your personal life; they were more like records of various major events."

Ye Jin'er wasn't unfamiliar with the information; it was precisely because he had read it that he was surprised by Ye Sanqing's nonchalant tone just now.

Can such a vast empire be won so easily?

This suggests that the genetic experiment must have been quite perfect...
