Chapter 2242 Everyone's war against everyone!
“It’s so spectacular!”
Li Jialing wore a super crystal armor that could be transformed in three sections, surrounded by the golden eagle and acted as Li Yao's guard, marveling.
After all, he was a young man. No matter how much he pursued "freedom of his will", he saw hundreds of starships jumping out of the void and bowing to Li Yao, making the sun and the moon bleak and the world change in color, and the heart was still so excited that his heart was surging, his blood was boiling, and he couldn't do it himself.
A moment of movement in my heart, and a vague feeling arises when these starships surrender to themselves.
Li Jialing was originally trained by Li Lingfeng as his successor, but Li Lingfeng and Wu Yinglan used secret techniques to inject a lot of wisdom of cruel struggle and the ability to understand the truth.
However, in the past, he was suppressed by Li Lingfeng, and the young man had a strong rebellious mentality and was unwilling to use this ability at all. He just wanted to escape far away to the ends of the world, the farther away from Li Lingfeng, the better.
But now
Li Lingfeng and Wu Yinglan were both dead, and he finally broke free from the shackles that had been wrapped around him since childhood and gained preliminary freedom.
But I felt a little confused and didn't know where to go next.
The fleet that was continuous in front of him, the vast sea of fleets that made the stars in the sky bleak, ignited another innate ** in his heart, inherited from his mother.
Looking back on the past three days of rapid progress, Li Jialing still seemed to be immersed in dreams, even his fingertips were burning.
Especially the horrifying performance of his "cheap brother" Li Yao.
In "City of Sky, Manzhu Shahua", he has seen Li Yao's power.
However, he did not expect that the giant god weapon was fully upgraded, and with the assistance of the "Imperial Flame Pearl", Li Yao was so powerful that he could fight against the entire fleet on his own!
When golden flames that were enough to tear the universe surged out from Li Yao's body, even Li Jialing felt the screams deep in his bone marrow. No wonder the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the opposite fleet chose to surrender one after another.
"Almost all fleets in the Third War Zone responded to General Lei Chenghu's call and gathered here to raise the flag of uprising. Even the near-war zone had new warships jumped over at all costs. General Lei's prestige in the expeditionary army was soaring!"
Under the modulation of Li Lingfeng, Li Jialing's little head was filled with knowledge of various imperial war emblems. He could quickly distinguish the fleet, family, sect and even the world of a warship belonging to from the war emblem at the head of the ship. He paused and said to Li Yao in a point-to-point private communication channel, "However, in addition to General Lei's prestige, Brother Yao's invincible strength is also a major factor that attracted them. You cut into the picture of the flagship of the fleet with one sword. At this moment, the secret channels built by the Wanjie Business Alliance have spread throughout the entire sea of stars, which is ten times more powerful than what he did in the Wuying Realm more than a month ago. No wonder these people believe it and regard you as a 'big master'. If you are not aware of it, you will also think that you were killed in the palace, right?"
"As a lot of people, I may not really believe that I am a 'big master' these days, but because of the situation, I need a big master."
Li Yao smiled slightly, accepting the shining respects of many starships very calmly, but he has a very clear understanding of his identity. "No matter General Lei Chenghu's prestige, my combat power, or the false "big masters" and "robed edicts" are not the reasons why the armed forces in these places appear. The reason why they came here was simply because they were forced to the point of despair by the four electoral emperors and could only fight to the death."
Li Jialing thought: "Hmm?"
"After all, this is the core inherent contradiction of the 'Battle of Immortal Cultivation' and it is absolutely impossible to resolve."
Li Yao sighed and said, "When the eight words "the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive" become a natural truth, and the first rule that guides the operation of society means that the sea of stars has completely become a bloody slaughterhouse.
"Today, cultivators can regard ordinary people as ‘original people’ and as a lower race than ‘real people’ to ravage, abuse and exploit. Tomorrow, high-level cultivators can also regard low-level cultivators as aliens and another lower-level species, and knock bones and suck marrow without any bottom line, and constantly exploit them.
"But there are still high-levels above the high-level. For an old monster of Transformation, is the powerful Nascent Soul also a "low-level animal"? It is not the same species as him. You can oppress and slaughter at will?
"In this way, the entire immortal cultivation civilization becomes a 'war between everyone and everyone'. The real person and the original person are not the same species, the refining of Qi and the building of foundation are not the same species, the elixir, the Nascent Soul and the Transformation of God are not the same species, and there is no basic basis for trust and cooperation, but a natural competitor.
"Everyone is each other's enemy, and no one is worthy of trust. The most important purpose of cultivation is no longer to contribute to the country and civilization, but it has become to strengthen oneself at all costs. Climb up at all costs. If you climb up, you can eat others. If you can't climb up, you can only be eaten by others!
"There is no cohesion in such a real human empire. No matter how many sweet words and false glory are used to conceal it, it is just a primitive interstellar jungle disguised as a country.
"Even the ancient world of cultivation, there are wise people who know that 'the king treats the people as grass, and the people treats the king as enemies', 'real people' regard 'original people' as enemies, 'real people' as enemies, 'real people' naturally regard 'original people' as enemies; high-level cultivators such as Jiedan and Yuanying regard low-level cultivators such as low-level cultivators such as refining qi and building foundations, 'real people' naturally regard high-level cultivators as enemies; the four major electoral families regard local cultivators in small and medium-sized worlds around the empire as enemies, and local cultivators naturally regard central government as enemies. When the contradictions intensify so much that one Mars can burn the raging flames of rebellion, and we are just acting as this 'mars'."
Li Jialing murmured: "Indeed, the four electoral families are too greedy. Didn't they expect that such harshness and exploitation will arouse strong dissatisfaction in the local area?"
"This has nothing to do with 'insatiable', nor is it a question of whether you want to get it or not."
Li Yao said, "The cruel law of 'the strong prey on the weak' also exists within the four electoral families. Under the cruel competition of the enemy's country, who can take into account long-term interests and think about how to get the most benefits in the short term to strengthen themselves.
"People who don't think so will soon be eliminated. Only the most treacherous, despicable, cruel and greedy can survive and become the masters of the family step by step.
"After hundreds of years of screening, such a law has been engraved into their bones. Since they bit a piece of fat, they will never let go even if they break the bones.
"What's more, the extreme admiration of power often makes them ignore the voices of the so-called "weak", and they cannot even understand how terrible the burning rage flames are once these "weak" unite. Perhaps only when death is approaching will they repent!"
Li Jialing was silent for a long time and said, "Brother Yao thinks, is the empire still saved? Can General Lei and His Highness save the empire?"
"If they could really destroy the four electoral emperor families and use the corpses of these four giants to ease the conflicts between other immortal cultivators, they might get a buffer period of hundreds of years, right?"
Li Yao thought for a while and said, "But the resources left by the four major electoral families will always be consumed for a day. Today, these indignant forces of small and medium-sized cultivators will eventually expand into unsatisfactory gluttonous beasts and become new cancers. What should the next generation of the "four major electoral families"?
"After all, this is not only a system problem, but also a natural flaw in the great way of cultivating immortals. It cannot be changed by a certain "flawless, moral model" cultivator.
"Yes, I have to admit that when I spend these days with General Lei Chenghu and observe his character up close, I have to admit that aside from the serious differences in methods and ideas between each other, he is indeed a pure immortal cultivator who is selfless and devoted to human civilization.
"So what? How can there be a few pure, loyal, and selfless cultivators in the world like him. Even if he can "recreate the glory of the empire today, what should he do after he dies? The so-called "new empire" will only fall faster than the "old empire"!
"There is no way. The so-called '100% pure perfect immortal cultivator' is completely contrary to human nature. Such immortal cultivators may occasionally be able to produce one or two, but it is impossible to make all immortal cultivators turn into thunder and tigers, so unless they learn the Holy Alliance, they will severely brainwash everyone and deprive them of their own. However, this will lead to the whole society being dead, running like a mechanical operation, without seeing any innovation and vitality.
“So, only”
Before Li Yao could express the great truth that "only the great way of cultivation can save the universe", Li Jialing took the lead and said: "Brother Yao may be right, but I still think
"Although there are not many 100% pure perfect cultivators, 100% pure perfect cultivators are also rare? They clearly have unparalleled power, but they are willing to serve or even sacrifice themselves. They also have to face all kinds of unsatisfactory bad habits of ordinary people, which sounds very inhumane!
"If a country needs a large number of 100% perfect cultivators to maintain it, and this country will not exist for long, it will become today's empire like this, right?
"Perhaps, no matter how perfect the path of cultivation or the path of cultivation is, it is just a theory, and it cannot resist the erosion of time and the word "human nature". In the end, it will fall into a mess, messy, and unrecognizable appearance.
"Oh, the sea of stars is so vast and too chaotic, and human nature is so complex and too mysterious. What should we do?"
Li Yao was silent for a long time.
"I'm still willing to believe in human nature."
Finally, he said frankly, "Your question is too big, I can't answer it for the time being, but one thing is certain, if His Highness and Lei Chenghu can really win the battle and really defeat the four electoral emperors' families, it will be able to gain hundreds of years of buffering time for the human civilization in the center of the Star Sea.
"Who knows what changes will happen in hundreds of years? There will always be a new generation of human beings who are smarter, more rational and more visionary than us to solve problems that we cannot solve?
"This is also the reason why I, a cultivator, participated in the civil war between cultivators.
Li Jialing sighed: "Wow, why do I suddenly feel that Brother Yao, your thoughts are so profound?"
"I am a person who is very profound, but I have always been relatively low-key and don't want to show off my own casually. However, my mind cannot be covered up. If I am not careful, it will be thrown out. Please pay attention to help me continue."
