"Of course, more importantly, I need to continue my experiment, and the Empire is best not to collapse before I finish it, or determine I cannot complete it."

"Ascension, this is the only meaning of my existence."

Emperor Guard System Li's eyes subtly trembled.

She seemed to return to that night tens of thousands of years ago, seeing the man who was drunk, despondently sitting on the steps of the hall, lowering his head and weeping.

Then, the man raised his head, looking lost at the simulated starry sky above, murmuring those words.

'Ascension, this is the only meaning of my existence.'

Li gazed at Eno, her voice once again soft, dynamic, with a touch of emotion:

"Speak."

Director Eno was momentarily stunned, then promptly took out a piece of paper, with a draft written on it.

...

Emperor Star, the headquarters of the Elder Court.

The Great Elder had completed the proposal process, and the content of that legislation was displayed on the large screen.

Apart from the extremely complex qualifiers, annotations, and applicable condition descriptions, the content of this legislation was not complex.

It prohibits the upload of any form of human Thought Body to the network throughout the Sherman Empire;

Thought Bodies already uploaded must be uniformly destroyed by the Empire;

This legislation can pursue all Thought Bodies applicable under these clauses within the previous thousand Galaxy Years from the date of enactment.

Most of the elders were silent, pondering something amidst the silence.

A few elders already fully understood how this coup would take form.

Yes, the round table of the Sherman family controls all aspects of the Sherman Empire, but they only control it secretly; the Empire's institutional power division has its own rules.

The Elder Court holds legislative power.

Once this legislation is passed, it will take immediate effect, rendering those Thought Bodies of the Sherman family illegal.

They then have the grounds to launch a campaign.

Of course, in the view of these elders, this legislation is also extremely naive.

How to execute it?

This is the critical issue; even if the legislation has so-called legal effect, how can it be executed?

Those guys possess almost all the resources.

"Impossible! We cannot pass this law!"

"The process must be followed, should first be publicly announced for enough time, then collect opinions from the societal level!"

Whizz!

Two laser beams flashed, and the two elders who shouted the loudest were lying on their seats, with blood holes emitting white smoke appearing on their foreheads.

Daphne said calmly, "Please start direct voting, the snipers will aim at the elders who do not raise their hands."

The elders turned pale.

High-end coups often require the simplest formulas.

Yet, the problem remains a problem; how are they supposed to execute it?

If Daphne and the forces behind her fail, will they be purged? However, when they are purged, they still have room to maneuver, whereas now, not raising their hands leads to their heads exploding.

...

"You plan to rely on this legislation?"

"Yes," Director Eno's voice unconsciously grew tenser, his body leaning slightly forward, "Now the legislation has been passed, though using extraordinary means, it should already be in effect here."

Li nodded slightly.

Director Eno took a deep breath, bowed deeply with his head down.

"Please execute according to this legislation immediately!"

"The creators of this legislation are surviving members of the Sherman family; we are their chosen successors, voluntarily relinquishing this Thought Body upload method, voluntarily giving up this form of prolonged power."

"The Empire's biggest issue lies in its self-reform cycle structure being doubled by this Thought Body upload technology!"

"The Empire should not end in this manner; the Empire should still have a chance for reformation and rebirth!"

"I beg of you!"
