40,000 Years of Cultivation

Accompanied by Wu Yingqi's "follow-by-the-good temptation", those black spider silk-like neural networks also invaded Li Yao's spiritual flames one by one, and drilled into his body along his pores.

No matter how much he stirs the flames and waves his arms, he can't get rid of these tarsus-like maggots. On the contrary, he feels that Wu Yingqi's words, like coming from the depths of his eardrums, can inspire himself from a completely different angle. , Carry out new thinking.

"You... completely crazy!"

Li Yao tried his best to fight the black nerves that invaded his brain, and reluctantly said, "The catastrophe that will cause so many deaths and even the destruction of the entire world is actually called a'treatment' by you?"

"The treatment is like this-how can there be an operation that does not bleed at all, and how can a drug have no side effects at all? Even, when it is hard to return and is dying, most of the body organs have to be removed, using artificial limbs and artificial limbs. It is also helpless to replace it with the heart."

Wu Yingqi smiled slightly, her voice becoming more sincere, and even a soft brilliance bloomed all over her body. If it weren’t for the black water droplets and neural network images that were too weird, he really looked like a doctor worried about the country and the people, "You The reason why I feel that this matter is unacceptable is nothing more than a cognitive gap-just like an ancient person who lived tens of thousands of years ago, if he saw a modern doctor brandishing a scalpel to cut the patient’s chest and abdomen. Open, remove the diseased tissue, even use a bone saw to open the skull, perform craniotomy, you will be shocked, thinking that the doctor is a demon that devours the heart and brain plasma, but modern people have basic medical knowledge and naturally know the doctor. It is treating illnesses and saving people. Even though there will be bleeding, injury, and even a certain death rate during the treatment, many sequelae will be left after recovery, but... this is all acceptable.

"Don't rush to refute, please think about it calmly, think about everything you have seen after you came to the empire, think about how you once agreed with Li Linghai's judgment of the four big families, admit it, Vulture Li Yao, today's The true human empire is at the end of the dynasty, it has long been rotten, internal and external troubles are like serious illnesses, relying on small-scale reforms can not be saved, without thunder means, the empire will soon fall apart, and hundreds of millions of people will be turned into powder!

"The court was bloated and powerless, but the warlords started to fight each other. The ministers controlled the government and only considered their own selfishness. Even the four major electors' families were full of selfish and ridiculous struggles. And I was an empire thousands of years ago. The designed, fair, open, and fair way of selecting elites and the channels for rising elites at the bottom are all blocked, rotten out, and eroded to the point that they are not even properly written on the surface!

"A huge empire, which clearly occupies the most abundant planet, the most abundant resources, and the most talented people in the stars, but it was made into a mist by this gang of snakes, insects, rats and ants. It can't help the reformists. They can't even deal with the copper-smelling traffickers of the Ten Thousand Realms Business League, and even a few cultivators can't stop killing them-what kind of empire is this after all!

"Shame, this is the great shame of the cultivators, the great shame of the empire, and even the great shame of me! When I returned to the empire, I saw that the Huanghuang Empire, which was established thousands of years ago, was turned into a gang of unscrupulous descendants. I really hate this look so hard that I can't add it to it. Even if I emptied the entire sea of ​​stars, I couldn't quench my anger!

"From that moment, I swear to the heavens and stars that I will do whatever it takes to heal the empire at all costs, restore it to its former vitality, and make it truly qualified to represent the great human civilization.

"As long as it can reawaken the responsibility and glory of every immortal cultivator, as long as it can bring the empire and human civilization back to glory, I am willing to try any therapy!"

More and more black nerve bundles penetrated into Li Yao's pores, wandering under his skin like nematodes, causing black air to appear all over his body and face.

Black Qi even attacked Li Yao's eyes, dancing around his pupils in a strange place.

Li Yao gradually lost the ability to refute, his expression gradually became trance and hesitation, listening to Wu Yingqi's indoctrination.

"I spent decades thinking about why the empire fell to the way it is today, who is the culprit, and where is the root of the problem?

"Should the four major electoral families be blamed? Of course, they are all greed, short-sighted, and hard-to-fill guys. They are not worthy of the title of true immortal cultivator-but this is only the appearance, everyone has a selfish heart, and selfishness is a disaster Source, but also the strongest driving force for the advancement of civilization, is an extremely sharp double-edged sword.

"The root of the problem is the vast sea of ​​stars, the distances of hundreds of light-years between the various worlds, and the vastly different topography between different planets, which is like a kind of amplifier, magnifying the flaws of human selfishness to the extreme!

"In the ancient repair era, the ruler only occupied one planet, at most a few planets in the vicinity of the world. No matter how selfish and blind the people under the rule, and no matter how domineering and domineering, it is easy to mobilize troops to suppress all People and resources are tightly held in hand.

"However, in the Xinghai Civilization era 40,000 years later, because of the unchanged communication and transportation, the big world on each side of the sky will easily form trade, military and even political barriers, and the barriers will degenerate into selfish interest groups. , Becoming a cancer that cannot be completely removed, slowly eroding the whole.

"What's worse is that in different worlds, many habitable planets have completely different topography and geomorphology. As a result, different ethnic groups with very different customs, habits and even appearances have been born. It is difficult for these ethnic groups to have a sense of identity and a common history with each other. Memories and sense of honor often only know that they have their own small world, but they don't know that there are empires and your majesty.

"To put it bluntly, judging from the human brain capacity, communication methods, technological development level and historical origin, we should not build a huge empire that encompasses three thousand worlds, but should be divided into hundreds of small countries, and each small country rules one. Or at most three or five great worlds-that is the most natural state.

"We were originally created as a'sub-civilization' or'sub-civilization', but our creator died prematurely. We are like orphans whose parents have died. We are forced to Breaking into the cold world, we awkwardly imitated the appearance of our ancestors, trying to unify the entire star sea like the'Pangu Civilization Alliance', but completely ignored or unaware that we were not ready to bear such a heavy weight!

"The empire was not destroyed by the hands of the four major electoral families, but was crushed by its own weight and defeated by this vast universe!"

Li Yao listened intently and murmured: "The former imperial prime minister, Dongfang Wang, also said that. He said...our common enemy is the universe!"

"Yes, Dongfangwang is a real wise man. I have used very secret methods to communicate these issues with him in depth before."

Wu Yingqi said, "It's a pity that Dongfang Wang can see, but still can't see through. As the helm of the Dongfang family, he has been burdened for hundreds of years so that he is deeply embedded in his flesh and blood. There are too many things that he cannot give up. The method is like mine, it can be cruel to scrape the bones and heal the wounds.

"Even if you really see it through, with the cruel and brutal nature of human beings, they will split into hundreds of small nations, but they will still fight each other and fight endlessly, and like the ancient repair era 40,000 years ago, the blood will flow endlessly.

"What's more, you and I know very well that staying in this small closed universe, even if it develops to the extreme, is just repeating the mistakes of Pangu civilization and countless ancient civilizations. We must find a new path and become a few. In tens of billions of years, the first civilization to rush out completely!

"If you want to be the first civilization to break out of the shell, a unified empire that encompasses all resources, talents and planets is also necessary. This is a contradiction. Between the'big' and the'small', it is almost impossible to resolve. contradiction.

"If I only want to eradicate the four major electoral families, it is actually very easy. I have a hundred ways to completely destroy them, but this is a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. Today, the four major electoral families and even all the warlords have been destroyed. But as long as human communication and transportation methods cannot advance by leaps and bounds, as long as the empire still has an astronomical population, as long as these people are still selfish and greedy, then, in a short time, there will be a second'four big families' or even' The birth of the Eight Great Families is like a virus that can't be killed no matter how you kill it!

"Li Yao, in your country of cultivators, is there also the stubborn illness of class consolidation and interest groups? Oh, I don't think your country will be too large. You just defeated the Black Wind Fleet and got a development bonus. It should be thriving. So you may not have a deep understanding of this issue.

"But please think about it. One day, when your country of cultivators expands to hundreds of worlds, with a population of tens of trillions or even tens of trillions, even the number of cultivators will reach tens of billions. What do you want? To maintain the purity of these cultivators, how do you ensure that the authority of the central government can be recognized by the tycoons of the border, and how do you insist that your so-called education system and upward channels will not be distorted and eroded by interest groups?

"I can't do it, Li Yao, I tell you that I have thought of and practiced all methods long ago, and I can't stop the transformation and degradation of a great country. Even if I don't destroy your country of cultivators, let you develop freely. , Grow up sturdily, and one day you will also be crushed by your own weight.

"The monster dynasty that used to rule Xinghai for 30,000 years was crushed by itself, the Xinghai Empire was crushed by itself, the Xinghai Republic was crushed by itself, and the current real human empire is also repeating the same mistakes, and it seems that it will be crushed by itself. Can your country of cultivators break out of the cyclical law of the rise and fall of the dynasty, and will not be defeated by the universe or crushed by itself?"

A weird smile appeared on Wu Yingqi's face.

But it was not this smile that made Li Yao extremely frightened, but that he actually believed Wu Yingqi's words without knowing it!

Yes, many powerhouses in the Federation agree that the most suitable size for the Federation is eight to ten Great Thousand Worlds. Joining more worlds will cause various unexpected problems and eventually make the Xingyao Federation. Overwhelmed alive!

However, the federation can maintain its current size, can the empire be?

If not, what can we do to keep the empire as it is and not split, so that most people can live somehow?

"If you want to completely reverse this **** fate, and ensure the loyalty, selflessness, and unity of all citizens while maintaining the empire's unification, there is only one way."

Wu Yingqi lightly pointed to his temple, "A revolutionary new way of education, which is what you call "brainwashing"."
