Chapter 65 - Unexpectedly Calm Escape (2/2)
Of course, all the members of the royal family from all the countries and even geniuses from the myriad islands would gather as well.
It may be a perilous venture for those without backing, but for those with it, it was quite safe. If you were to publically take action against someone, you must be ready to deal with the retaliation. When Yan Zaizen heard this, he shook his head decisively.
Perhaps this would be a suitable path for others, but it wasn't for him. He needed to kill the woman without being discovered, or else his grandfather and the people he cared about would be harmed. It would be better if they believed he was dead until he decided otherwise. That was a small reason. The true reason for his refusal was time. It was going to be held in 43 years - he couldn't wait that long.
”I'll find some other way.”
They finally saw the opening of the Deep Mines as they continued their ascension. The Deep Mines God Formation was rotating slowly above them. Stopping, they noticed that at the edges of the holes were numerous individuals who were being taken out of their carriages and placed within flight boxes. This brought back Yan Zaizen to when he first arrived. He was taken off a carriage and placed in one of those flight boxes, taken down to the deep mines, and forced to work under the threat of death.
He had an impulsive desire to turn everything into chaos. However, through gritted teeth, he held back this impulse. Tao informed him previously of the cruel reality of Grux. Due to overpopulation, slavery will always be a matter. A few thousands of years ago, Grux had a revolution for freedom in regards to slavery and the cruelness of it. The ones leading the revolution won.
This, however, left them with an even greater issue. Slavery no longer existed, and thus there were no horrendous work conditions forced on others. This, however, caused the country's total yield of wealth to drop by a startling 90%. Why would people work harshly if they no longer needed to? Could they simply focus on cultivation and live longer lives by breaking-through to higher realms? The low yield meant low trades for cultivation resources.
Without slavery, violence and greed ran rampant as resources became insufficient to support the new age of cultivators. Vicious wars were started easily, and people slaughtered each other decisively. It swiftly turned into a chaotic country filled with death and disorder. Freedom brought that, freedom to choose to cultivate freely. The current rulers of Grux were actually the ones who won the revolution. They re-established slavery, but with better conditions than before. This seemed to have settled the issue.
However, a few idealists who seemed to have forgotten history still resist, trying to lead a rebellion against slavery. For other countries, slavery may be oppressive, but due to the sheer number of people and hard to obtain resources in Grux, without it, lives would be ended over small matters. Wars would be started over land, wealth, and innocents would be slaughtered viciously. Now, any war that occurs, the innocents are given absolute safety and priority. They were seen as objects and tools but still protected by all, even criminals.
You don't rob people of their lives for wealth in Grux.
You rob people of their people.
This caused a unique dynamic to be created within the country. Therefore, Yan Zaizen resisted the temptation to act. It would bring very little good in doing so.
Taking a deep breath, he looked away towards the sky. ”We've finally left. Let's go.” Tao nodded in reply. They both flew away, with Tao possessing the cultivation of a half-step Origin Core, none of the guards thought it was suspicious that they were simply passing. It wasn't long before the Deep Mines were behind them, and the future before them.
