Chapter 2171: Fight for His Majesty the Emperor! (1/2)
”I once heard a short story from the ancient repair era. It was said that the prince of a certain planetary empire rose up to rebel and tried to kill his father. The reason used was,'Is there a prince in the world for sixty years'?”
Li Linghai said calmly, ”Hehe, in today's true human empire, resources are abnormally concentrated, and all kinds of magical powers that prolong life are popular. Don't say the'Prince of Sixty Years', even the'Prince of Three Hundred and Sixty Years'. It may appear.
”Think about it, you are a talented, powerful, and ambitious young immortal cultivator who really wants to have something to do. But the big world you are in includes world masters, sovereigns, presidents of major groups, local garrison commanders, and fleets. Commander-in-chief... Almost all the high-levels have not changed people for a hundred or two hundred years, and the group of fairy-style bones, crane-haired and young-looking, immortal, who are entrenched above your head, seem to live in comfort for two hundred years without any problem, what are you? Feeling? Do you feel that your eyes are dark, your future is slim, and you are extremely desperate?
”What's more, as people live longer, their concepts will inevitably be stale, their thinking must be rigid, they will resist accepting new things and brand-new cultivation concepts, and stick to the past. In the end, it is more than just a simple vegetarian diet of corpses, even in order to maintain their own power and power. Benefits greatly hinder the progress of the entire society.
”These old immortals have 10,000 ways to kill young immortals who may pose a threat to them, but are unwilling to be wooed and corrupted by them, to ensure their absolute rule.
”And once young immortal cultivators are eroded by them, they will inevitably fall into the endless cycle of seniority and suffering. They will be enslaved and squeezed by them, and they will be in harmony with the dust, grinding away the edges and corners, and eventually become these interest groups. Component.”
Li Yao was silent.
Think about it carefully. If a society always abides by the concept of ”the weaker eats the strongest and the winner takes all” and does not form a relatively stable replacement rule between the old and the new, then the situation Li Linghai said will almost certainly occur.
”However, these old immortals have a fatal weakness.”
Li Linghai squinted his eyes, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. ”They can waste countless precious resources and barely keep their lives, but they will never be able to maintain their combat effectiveness at their peak forever.
”Fist is afraid of being young. It is a well-known saying. The combat effectiveness of the immortal cultivator will increase with the improvement of the realm, but it will also decline with the extension of the life span. The real world is not a novel story, and there is no such thing as'the older you are, the more you can fight'. It is a matter of fact, when life and realm both climb to the apex and form a golden cross, it is the peak stage of a cultivator, but once this stage has passed, there is no way to catch it back.
”So, many of the '400-year-old Yuan Ying, 500-year-old Transformation God' and the like in the empire that sound very scary are in fact empty shelves. Maybe the vision, experience and realm are still there, but they really start. It's definitely not me, not even your opponent.
”One day, these decayed soul-returning corpses will taste the vitality and unstoppable power from the younger generation-I firmly believe this!”
Li Yao grinned and said: ”If I were given a chance to beat dozens of high-ranking imperial cultivators into pigs, I would not object.”
Li Linghai smiled faintly: ”Don't worry, we have such a pleasant chat, and we must be very close to each other when we work together. There is definitely a chance.
”As mentioned above, the contradiction between high-level cultivators and low-level cultivators is the fundamental contradiction facing the empire today.
”In addition to the fundamental contradiction, there are naturally other contradictions, large and small.
”For example, the dozens of most developed industrial worlds in the center of Xinghai squeeze and **** blood from hundreds of resource worlds on the periphery of the empire-do you need a detailed explanation?”
Li Yao shook his head.
The squeezing and blood-sucking of the backward resource world by the developed industrial world is a problem that is almost impossible to solve. Even the Star Federation faces the same problem, which is the dispute between the so-called ”Old Three Realms” and ”New Four Realms”.
The three core big worlds, Tianyuan, Blood Demon, and Feixing, have relatively advanced technology and a complete large-scale industrial magic refining system. Under the condition that they are in the same country and have no tariffs and trade barriers, they can face each other in minutes. The world of resources such as crystal, nether, and tree sea has formed dumping, completely destroying the lackluster, primitive and crude backward industrial system of crystal, nether, tree sea and other worlds. In the end, the world of crystal, nether and tree sea, etc., will forever become industrial products. The dumping ground of the country, and the supply place of primary resources.
Because of this core contradiction, before Li Yao and the ancient sage powerhouses returned to the federation, the old three realms and the new four realms were extremely divided, and even formed two camps headed by Ding Lingdang and Jin Xinyue, diametrically opposed to each other. Not giving way to each other.
Of course, the Star Alliance is a very young country, like the real human empire thousands of years ago, as vigorous, aggressive, and prosperous.
On the one hand, the Federation has less than ten big worlds in total. In just a hundred years of history, it is too late to form a strong fortress of interests. ”The ship is small and it turns around.” Any contradiction can be easily resolved through negotiation.
On the other hand, the Federation was facing a huge threat from the Black Wind Fleet at that time and was at a critical juncture. This long-term contradiction of the industrial world dumping and sucking blood to the resource world and earning a scissors gap can only be considered in the second place.
In the third aspect, under the leadership of Li Yao, the Federation successively discovered fertile worlds and advanced technologies such as the ancient sacred world, the Kunlun ruins, the bone dragon star, etc., which is equivalent to obtaining a large amount of start-up funds out of thin air. , Played a great role in lubrication and relaxation.
In addition, the leaders of their respective interest groups such as Ding Lingdang and Jin Xinyue used great patience and wisdom to temporarily set aside disputes and resolve contradictions. Jin Tuyi and others were behind the scenes to control the overall situation. In the end, the old three realms and the new four Only the world can unite and successfully defeat the Black Wind Fleet.
