Chapter 2081 Tragic Heroes and Clowns
Li Jialing listened attentively, looking deeply attracted by Li Lingfeng and was truly accepting the other party’s “sincere teachings”.???
Li Yao even pricked his ears and he was very curious about how today's immortal cultivators would view the inherent contradiction between "real people" and "original people".
Li Lingfeng sighed and continued: "Since about three or four hundred years ago, when the empire reached its limit of expansion, its comprehensive strength has actually been slowly declining. Those original people always go on strikes and riots, seriously weakening the power of the empire and gradually losing power in the war with the Holy Alliance.
"What ruins this situation is the 'Black Wind defeat' a hundred years ago!"
Li Yao was particularly sensitive to the word "black wind", and his soul trembled slightly.
Li Jialing's eyes rolled and said, "Are you talking about the great defeat in the Black Wind Realm?"
"That's right."
Li Lingfeng said, "In that battle, the five major worlds of the empire, including the Black Wind Realm, were all embezzled by the Holy Alliance. It can be said that it was a great defeat that had not been encountered in hundreds of years. More importantly, the empire was unable to draw more troops in a short period of time, and it would not be possible to regain these five worlds even if it was just a matter of recapture.
"This kind of defeat completely awakened all the cultivators, allowing everyone to start to reflect on the logic of the operation of the past world, and whether it can still be done.
"From that time, until today's more than a hundred years, it has been the era of innovation of the empire. Almost all knowledgeable people have been thinking about the past path of cultivation and control methods, and have put forward various optimization and upgrading plans. It can be said that the drastic changes in the empire in the past in the past one hundred years are much more intense and profound than the entire thousand years in the past!"
Li Jialing said: "For example, 'kill live broadcast'?"
Li Lingfeng smiled slightly and nodded in praise and said, "Yes, you are very smart. You can see at a glance that the so-called "kill live broadcast" is not as simple as a game, but a complete set of very low-cost lifestyles that are most suitable for the original people to expel their excess energy and dissatisfaction.
"Through the thrilling main perspective battle scenes, you can communicate with the "live broadcaster" at any time, and even use likes and rewards to manipulate the "live broadcaster"; coupled with the various talent shows and gambling... you can firmly control the eyes, brain and soul of all the original people!
"In the end, we can not only obtain astronomical benefits through the 'kill live broadcast platform', but we can even subtly bypass the traditional power barrier and nominal rulers to conquer and control all the original people, even those original people who do not belong to the Li family.
"This is why I invested heavily in the 'Tianyan Group' and the 'Kill Live Broadcast Platform'."
Li Lingfeng said as he stopped at the end of the corridor, smiled slightly and said, "We are here."
Li Jialing looked at his feet and slowly extended a dark blue arc around him, and finally gathered into a circle. The floor inside the circle trembled slightly and sank down, leading him and Li Lingfeng into a huge hollow sphere.
This place is like a magnificent spherical palace, with the curved walls around it covered with crystal clear light curtains, flashing rapidly.
But what appears on the light curtain is not the live scenes in "Nietu Paradise", but faces that are either anxious, excited, angry, or fearful, all twisted to the extreme.
There is also a series of information and parameters next to each face, which pour out quickly like a waterfall, reflecting a series of strange lusters.
Countless staff members were stomping on floating discs and flew silently up and down the spherical palace, like ghosts raising human heads.
"This, what is this?"
Li Jialing swallowed with some difficulty, "Isn't this a live broadcast center?"
"That's right, but of course we don't need to watch the old games in 'Nietu Paradise'."
Li Lingfeng smiled and said, "These are all viewers watching the 'Kill Live'. They are randomly selected sample survey subjects. We implanted some small information feedback chips into their crystal brain terminals, which can collect all the physiological and psychological index changes when watching the 'Kill Live'. From breathing, heartbeat, adrenaline secretion to the rhythm of brain waves, all of which can be monitored.
"After conducting comprehensive analysis and calculation of their feedback information, we can obtain their needs more accurately and provide them with exciting, exciting and irresistible programs.
"More importantly, we can grasp and even interfere with their... ideas based on this."
"Thought?"
Li Jialing murmured.
"Yes, maybe you will know in the future that it is very easy to destroy a living enemy, but it is really difficult to eliminate a thought."
Li Lingfeng smiled strangely, "But today, we will use the platform of 'Kill Live' to try to completely eliminate the thoughts of ideological cultivators!"
Li Jialing trembled slightly, his eyes widened involuntarily.
Wu Yinglan, the owner of "City of Sky, Manzhushahua", slowly rose up with his hands on his back and his feet on the floating disc.
"Reporting to Master, you're all ready."
Wu Yinglan bowed to Li Lingfeng gracefully and said with a smile on his face, "The Starlight Organization Branches underground are about to find their 'Sanctuary', and the Starlight Organization Branches in the starry sky should soon arrive at the predetermined star field and are about to attack us from moths to fire. Everything is in our control, and the most exciting scene of the epic mission "Destroyed Starlight" can be revealed at any time."
"very good."
Li Lingfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "However, please explain first, Lord Wuying, why plan this 'epique mission'!"
Wu Yinglan looked at Li Jialing and smiled and said, "Have you been hurt better? Don't blame me for taking too much action just now!"
Li Jialing looked at Li Lingfeng and Wu Yinglan, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help but say, "I understand that you have known that the existence of the 'Starlight Organization' is to kill the other party in one place, deliberately playing the trick of 'please fall into the trap'. However, I don't understand why you put the whole battle on the live broadcast platform. It's too much to do this and the risk is too high. Will the other party see the flaw?"
Wu Yinglan smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "Please rest assured that which images can be made public and which images must be hidden. These have been carefully calculated and will never leak any information that should not be leaked. Only when the other party attacks and can no longer look back will we open up all the shots and pictures, so that the audiences of the entire empire can see with their own eyes how a pity and tragic cultivator organization was wiped out.
"As for you to talk about it, this is definitely not our whim, but the most thorough action that we have to take to completely eliminate the Starlight Organization."
Li Jialing was a little dumbfounded and blinked for a long time and said, "I don't understand, is it difficult to eliminate the Starlight organization?"
"No, it's not really difficult to eliminate, but it's too easy to eliminate."
Wu Yinglan leaned his face towards the young man and said with a smile, "Do you know, since the Wuying world was conquered by the empire, the earliest group of members of the Starlight organization fled into the sea of stars in a hurry. Until today, the Starlight organization has been eliminated forty times in just a few hundred years!
"Every time, the Emperor* completely destroyed all the personnel, structures and secret bases of the Starlight Organization, ensuring that there was no half of the fish that escaped the net and half a hiding place.
"But it won't take long, and even at the same time, the old starlight tissue was smashed to pieces, and the new starlight tissue would emerge in the depths of the mine cave on a remote planet, like fleas, cockroaches, and rats that could not be killed no matter what!"
Li Jialing murmured: "How could this happen?"
"Thought."
Wu Yinglan pointed to his brain, "Because every time in the past, the empire only eliminated the bodies, weapons and bases of those cultivators in the Starlight Organization, but did not eliminate their thoughts.
"Thoughts are the most dangerous thing in the world. They are invisible and omnipresent. They seem to be illusory but can exert the power of overwhelming mountains and seas and destroying the world. They can turn cowards into beasts, turn wild beasts into warriors, and turn all the mobs into iron-blooded powerful soldiers who are burning their boats!
"It is useless to just destroy a 'Starlight Organization' and kill all the cultivators.
"It won't take long to see someone be infected by their naive but dangerous thoughts. In their name, they form a new "Starlight Organization", which will be passed on from generation to generation, spreading one world after another. In the end, this "Starlight Organization" may have been beyond recognition, and is not the same as the "Starlight Organization" in the Wuying world at the time, but they share the same damn idea!
"This kind of thought is difficult to be completely killed. The more cruel means are used to kill the cultivators, the more they will flow, the more they will create their image as a tragic hero, attracting more and more desperate original people and lower-level cultivators to join the camp of cultivators and form a new "star organization".
"It's like cancer cells, killing one, proliferating two, killing more and more, and it's so annoying.
"So, although the Star Sea Republic was replaced by the real human empire a thousand years ago, the large-scale resistance of cultivators has long disappeared, but the cultivators of the "scabbages" have never been completely eliminated.
"A thousand years ago, they were 'scabbages'. Today, a thousand years later, after being wiped out forty times, they were still 'scabbages'. It's really outrageous!
"This is the most critical point. Thoughts are difficult to kill, but they can be distorted and deconstructed. If you want to prevent the cultivators from becoming a 'scalypse', in addition to destroying them from their bodies, you must also change their role as a 'tragic hero' and become another character that most people like.
"That's... the clown."8
