Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Along with Wu Yingqi's "following the good temptation”, those black spider silky neural networks also intruded into Li Yao's spiritual flame and followed his pores into the body.

No matter how he stirred up the flames and waved his arms, he couldn't get rid of these maggot-like things. Instead, he felt Wu Yingqi's words, like coming from deep into his eardrum, inspired him to think completely differently.

“You... are completely insane! ”

Li Yao did everything he could to counter the black nerve bundle that invaded his brain, forcing him to say, "What do you call a 'healing' that would kill so many people and even destroy the entire thousand worlds? ”

“That's the way it is - where there's a surgery that doesn't bleed at all, and where's a drug that doesn't have side effects at all? Even at a time of hardship and illness, it is impossible to remove most of the body's organs and replace them with mechanical prostheses and artificial hearts. ”

Wu Yingqi smiled slightly, his voice appeared more sincere, and his body even revealed a soft glow. If the images of black droplets and neural networks around him weren't too weird, he would be like a doctor worried about the people of the country, "The reason you find this difficult to accept is that it's nothing more than a cognitive gap —— like an ancient man who lived tens of thousands of years ago, If he sees a modern doctor waving a scalpel to open the patient's chest and abdomen, remove the lesion tissue, even lift the skull bone with a bone saw, perform a skull opening surgery, he will be greatly dismayed, thinking that the doctor is the demon who devours the heart and brains, but the modern man has the basic medical common sense, naturally knows that the doctor is treating the patient, even if he bleeds, injures, and even has certain mortality during the treatment, even after recovery Leaving behind many sequelae, but… this is acceptable.

“Don't rush to refute, please think calmly, think about everything you saw after coming to the Empire, think about how you once agreed with Li Linghai's judgment on the four families, admit it, vulture Li Yao, today's real human empire is in the late dynasty, already rotten, internal and external worries are like a wretch, relying on a small range of improvement is no longer saved, no more thunder, the empire will instantly collapse and analyze, hundreds of millions of people will be turned into powder!

“The court was swollen and powerless, the warlords killed each other four times, and Kwansen only considered his own selfishness, even within the family of four major election emperors were filled with selfish and ridiculous struggles, while I designed a fair, open and fair elite screening method and lower elite ascent channel for the empire a thousand years ago, but it was all blocked, rotten, eroded into a thousand sores of holes, even surface articles could not be properly posted!

“A great empire, clearly occupying the richest planet, the most abundant resources and the most talented people in the star sea, was stirred up by these serpentine rat ants, disintegrated, turned into a disjointed sand, a raft of people, not only can't beat the Alliance, but also can't help but can't help the revolutionaries, can't even deal with the copper-smelling merchants of the World Chamber of Commerce walking away, can't even chase down several of the district's fixers - what kind of empire is this?

“Shame, this is the shame of the immortals, the shame of the Empire, and my shame! When I returned to the Empire, I saw the brilliant empire that was built a thousand years ago with thorns and bluefins, and it turned out to be like this by these children of Shaw, I really hated it so much that even if I poured out the whole star sea, I could not quench my anger!

“From that moment on, I have sworn to the stars that I will do whatever it takes to heal the Empire and restore its former vitality so that it is truly qualified to represent the great civilization of humanity.

“As long as we can revive the responsibility and glory of every fairy practitioner, as long as we can restore the glory of the Empire and human civilization, I am willing to try any therapy! ”

More and more black nerve bundles entered Li Yao's pores, swimming beneath his skin like a nematode, causing him to have a black gas all around him and on his face.

Black gas even attacked Li Yao's eyeballs, surrounding his pupils and dancing demonically.

Li Yao gradually lost his ability to rebut, his expression gradually became tranced and hesitant, listening to Wu Yingqi's indoctrination.

“I have spent decades thinking about why the empire has fallen like this today, who is the culprit and where is the root cause of the problem?

“Should we blame the House of Four? Of course, they are all benevolent, rat-eyed, obscure guys who don't deserve the title of true fairy modifier - but it's just a sign that everyone has a sense of selfishness, selfishness is both the source of the scourge and the strongest impetus for the advancement of civilization, a sharp, double-edged sword.

“The root cause of the problem is the vast ocean of stars, the hundreds of light-years of distances between the great thousand worlds, and the terrain of vastly different planets, like some kind of amplifier, which magnifies the imperfections of human selfishness to the extreme!

“In ancient times, rulers occupied only one planet, up to several planets close to a thousand worlds, and even though the people under rule were more selfish and blind, it was easy for Kwon Shen to mobilize his forces to repress and hold all human beings and resources in his hands.

“However, in the 40,000 years from now, in the era of Starling Sea civilization, the great thousand worlds on each side of the heavens are extremely prone to trade, military and even political barriers, which, in turn, will turn into a selfish self-interest group, an irretrievable toxic tumor that will slowly erode the whole.

“Worse still, in thousands of different worlds, many inhabitable planets have very different topographical features, resulting in different communities with very different customs and even shapes, which have difficulty in generating a sense of identity and shared historical memory and honour among themselves, often knowing only their own little worlds, but not the existence of empires and sires.

“To put it bluntly, in terms of human brain capacity, means of communication, level of technological development and historical sources, we should not at all build a vast empire encompassing 3,000 worlds, but should split into hundreds of small States, each dominating one or up to three or five grand worlds - that is the most natural state.

“We were originally a ‘subcivilization' or ‘subcivilization' created, but our creators died prematurely. We were like orphans of both parents who had not yet fully grown up and were forced into a cold world. We awkwardly imitated the ancestors of the famine and tried to unify the entire star sea like the 'Alliance of Pan Ancient Civilizations’, but completely ignored or completely unaware that we were not prepared to bear such a heavy weight!

“The Empire was not destroyed by the hands of the family of the four electorate emperors, but crushed by its own weight and defeated by this vast universe! ”

Li Yao was able to hear God and muttered: “The former Prime Minister of the Empire looked to the East and said the same thing, he said... our common enemy is the universe! ”

“Yes, Oriental Hope is a truly wise man, and I have interacted with him in depth on these issues in a very secret way before. ”

Wu Yingqi said, “Unfortunately, Oriental can see, but still can't see through. As Oriental's helmsman, he carried a hundred years of deeply embedded flesh. There are too many things he can't cut. He can't scratch his heart like me to heal his wounds.

“Even if it really sees through, divided into hundreds of small nations by the ruthless and brutal nature of mankind, they will still fight each other, and blood will flow endlessly, as it did in the ancient period 40,000 years ago.

“Besides, you and I both know very well that staying in this tiny enclosed universe, even if it develops to the extreme, is just a repeat of the ancient civilization of Pan and countless too ancient civilizations, we must find a new path, must be the first civilization to completely wash out in billions of years!

“A united empire encompassing all resources, talents and planets is also necessary to be the first civilization to emerge out of the shell, a contradiction that can hardly be resolved between ‘big’ and 'small’.

“If I merely want to eradicate the family of the four electorate emperors, it is actually easy, I have a hundred ways to completely destroy them, but it is incurable, today I destroy the family of the four electorate emperors and even all warlords, but as long as the means of communication and transportation of mankind cannot advance rapidly, as long as the Empire still possesses astronomical numbers under the rule of the population, as long as these people remain selfish and greedy, then, in no time, a second ‘family of four' or even 'family of eight’ will be born, like a virus that cannot be killed!

“Li Yao, in the land of your practitioners, is there also the persistence of class solidification and interest groups? Oh, I don't think your kingdom will be too big, just beat the Black Wind fleet, get a development dividend, should be in the rising phase of the steaming sun, so you don't necessarily have a very deep understanding of the issue.

“But think about how one day, when your realm of practitioners expands to hundreds of thousands of worlds, with trillions or even trillions of people, even the number of practitioners reaches tens of billions, how are you going to maintain the purity of these practitioners, how are you going to ensure that the central authority is recognized by the powerful on the border, and how are you going to insist that your so-called educational system and upward channels are not distorted and eroded by interest groups?

“It cannot be done, Li Yao, I tell you that I have long thought of and practiced all means to prevent the transformation and decadence of a great kingdom, even if I do not destroy your Realist kingdom, let you freely develop and thrive, one day you will be crushed by your own weight.

“30,000 years ago the demonic dynasty ruled the star sea was crushed by itself, the star sea empire was crushed by itself, the star sea republic was crushed by itself, and now the real human empire is going to be crushed by itself. Can your Realist kingdom jump out of the cyclical law of the dynasty, not defeated by the universe, not crushed by itself? ”

Wu Yingqi had a strange smile on his face.

But what terrified Li Yao was not that smile, but that he really believed Wu Yingqi's words without realizing it!

Yes, many powerful people in the Federation agree that the most appropriate weight for the Federation is eight to ten grand worlds, more world alliances can cause unexpected problems and eventually bring the Federation to life!

But the Federation can maintain its current weight, can the Empire?

If not, what can be done to maintain the status quo in the empire without division so that most people can live?

“There is only one way to completely reverse such a bloody fate and to ensure the loyalty, selflessness and unity of all its citizens while maintaining the unity of the Empire. ”

Wu Yingqi gently refers to his temple, “a revolutionary new way of educating, what you call ‘brainwashing’. ”
