The stingy universe view of angry people vomiting blood

A movie that doesn't speak clearly. A family, several lords, plus the gate of time and space, this cosmic level of science fiction is old and low. The only thing that is novel is the reincarnation inheritance system based on the accidental formation of the completely identical genetic sequence. Is this gene worship? Wait, this is not new at all, the lord is not the European royal family, the enterprise that harvests the people of the earth for profit is the East India Company, and even the genetic incest of mother and child (in terms of the pros and cons of the offspring) is not prohibited. There must also be shadows of European royal family intermarriage... Ordinary people become queens because of the same genetic sequence, they are recognized by everyone, they do not have any special powers, and they also need to queue up for succession; People on the (colonial) have absolute right to harvest... Absolutely not new, right? In the end, when human beings have the ability to live beyond 100,000 years old, and can sow and colonize planets, all they want is to look forever and make profits. This stingy view of the universe makes me vomit blood.
