LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna
Chapter 449 Ancestors and Unworthy Descendants (Part 2)
Nasus works very efficiently.
Every time his giant ax is swung by his tens of meters tall body, he can shovel tons of sand out of the river that has been blocked for thousands of years.
One shovel, two shovels, three shovels...
The excavated sand quickly piled up like a mountain, and the river filled with yellow sand was quickly cleared to create a gully tens of meters long.
This canal, built during Shurima's glory days, has finally restored some of its original appearance.
The mortals looked at this scene in surprise, and stood around without daring to move.
"Everyone, don't be stunned." At this time, Nasus stopped "hoeing", turned back to the workers and said, "Let's work together."
"Work, work?" The mortals couldn't believe it.
As Shurima people who grew up listening to the legends of Nasus, they could not imagine that this great ascended person would bow down and work in the fields with mortals.
Even though Nasus was already minding his own business, they all suspected that this was some kind of special groundbreaking ceremony from ancient Shurima.
"You, you...work with us?" the workers asked in surprise and caution.
"Yes." Nasus said calmly, "Don't be surprised."
"When I was a general in the Shurima Empire, didn't my subordinates also lead an army composed of mortals? During the battle, mortals rushed to kill on the front lines, so wouldn't the ascended ones leave the battlefield?"
"No. We live and die together on the battlefield, regardless of each other."
"And what we are facing now is just another war, a war to seize human living space from the desert, a war to eliminate drought, hunger and death."
"So, children of Shurima - let us work together to make Shurima great again!"
"yes!
"After a brief silence, Nasus' words caused cheers from the scene.
People looked at Nasus' hard-working back with admiration, and they were enthusiastic about it.
The construction site quickly turned into a heated battlefield, with everyone working hard towards the same great goal.
"This..." Only Azir was stunned and speechless.
"Grand Maester Nasus, how could he..."
Nasus was right. Ascended ones did not enjoy privileges on the battlefield. Their privilege was to rush forward than mortals and to be on the front line of the most intense battle.
But...
Can this be confused with digging the ground?
In ancient Shurima, fighting was glorious and great, but labor was low and humble.
It is precisely because the ascended ones are at the forefront every time on the battlefield that they should be superior to others and should be worshiped and worshiped by mortals!
Otherwise, I would rush to the front during wartime, and I would still rush to the front during normal times...
So what became of the ascended ones? A slave to the common people?
"What a shame!"
It was a complete loss of etiquette and joy.
Azir could tell that Nasus was reforming Togu, unknowingly tampering with the imperial spirit of ancient Shurima and optimizing it into something more...
"Janna." Yes, this is a version optimized to be closer to the main character Janna.
After a month of communication, Azir had already felt that Nasus was somewhat different from the Imperial Grand Master in his impression.
it's good now...
The enlightenment teacher who taught him the etiquette and dignity at the beginning, now took the lead in destroying the sacred laws established by the Ascended Order, and went out to dig the ground regardless of his identity!
The ascended ones are digging the ground. Is this ridiculous? !
You are a desert god of death, not a desert excavator!
"..." Azir couldn't say anything to Nasus, so he could only criticize Sivir bitterly: "You are simply poisoned!"
"Poison?" Sivir raised his eyebrows and stared back without flinching: "Tell me, why is this 'poisoned'?"
"What's wrong with Janna's ideas and theories and our beliefs?"
In the past month, Azir has also learned a lot about the thoughts and theories of the Leader.
After all, he also wanted to know who was it that forced him to bow his head and cooperate, and why Janna, the once heretical little god, had turned around now.
And once he understood it...
As expected, Janna's theory had a huge impact on this old antique whose brain was still stuck in 3000 years ago.
As a rigid ancient and arrogant emperor, Azir almost instinctively rejected the leader's theory that emphasized the elimination of exploitation and the pursuit of equality.
He also raised many questions about this.
But the questions Azir raised had already been raised by Sivir when he was studying Janna theory with Taliyah.
Even if she didn't find some questions, Nasus later raised them and received sufficient answers.
With the answers in advance, Sivir was certainly not afraid to argue with Azir.
And this is exactly what happened:
After a month of learning and "laning", Azir not only failed to persuade his "daughter" to return from the lost path, but was repeatedly killed by Sivir in the lane, leaving him speechless.
"So, what's wrong with Wind Leader's theory?" Sivir asked rudely: "Is it bad for the Shurima people, or is it bad for you, the emperor?"
"You..." Azir choked slightly at the unworthy descendant.
He held it in for a while, then stubbornly accused: "Haven't you noticed yet, Sivir?"
"This so-called Lord Janna is simply a story that Janna, a little heretic god, made up to please his followers in order to turn around!"
"Mortal people have always been a short-sighted and ignorant mob. They believe whatever sounds good to them."
"However, ninety-nine percent of human beings in the world are such ignorant low-level people."
"Jana has targeted your audience and said some beautiful words to the right effect to gain the power of your faith!"
Azir spoke plausibly.
Temples of the Ascended once dotted Shurima. They also know the benefits of the power of faith.
Otherwise, they would not have labeled Janna as a heretic and forced Janna's followers to convert.
After 3,000 years of development, with the thorough development of the northern continent of Valoran and the advancement of agricultural technology year by year, the population of Runeterra has become several times greater than that of the medieval era where Azir lived.
This makes collecting the power of faith from mortals a very profitable thing.
But the other gods are still too arrogant, slow, and their thinking is too backward. They are still in the stage of extensive preaching of "the true God is here, believe it or not."
Only Janna seized this rare opportunity.
She even gave up the dignity of a god and came up with a human-centered theory of Janna, which attracted those mortals to follow her enthusiastically.
How can you, who is considered a fairy, advocate the elimination of exploitation, equality for all, and even personally serve the public?
In Azir's view, this is simply an evil act of involution that is done at all costs to please customers and seriously violates industry rules!
"Stop." Sivir no longer wanted to hear it.
She stared at Azir impatiently: "Old guy, don't you just want to say that everything Janna does is to gain the power of faith?"
"Why..." Sivir smiled and said, "If you can't refute the content, you can only question the motive?"
A gentleman does not care about his heart when discussing his deeds, but some people just like to talk about his heart with a gentleman.
This is a common method of sophistry.
In past discussions with Taliyah and Nasus, she often used this trick unconsciously.
"I..." Azir was speechless for a moment. He realized that he had indeed fallen into this fallacy.
And his doubts are easy to refute.
Because even in terms of deeds and heart, Janna has nothing to criticize.
"Our goddess is a god of faith who was born the day after tomorrow. Her power comes entirely from faith, and she does not have natural power like those innate gods."
"If Janna is preaching for power, then she is betraying her faith;"
"And she can't have power if she betrays her beliefs."
"Your Majesty the Emperor." Sivir raised his chin and asked aggressively: "Don't you think your question is contradictory?"
Azir was speechless.
At this time, Sivir took advantage of the victory and said, "You don't allow the ascended ones to engage in 'meaning jobs' and are unwilling to work with mortals. Don't you still think that you are superior to others and should enjoy privileges?"
The strong prevail over the weak. This was a natural principle in the old world.
But when Janna comes, this trick won't work.
Because the people are the real strong ones, it is their faith that condenses Janna and creates this invincible god——
So even if we think according to the law of "the weak eat the strong", the Shurima Empire, which is now weaker than the Wind Leader, and Azir, who is weaker than Janna, deserve to accept the rules of the Wind Leader.
He no longer has any reason to maintain his privileges and his superior status.
Regarding these principles, Azir had actually argued with Sivir many times in the past month. He always loses.
But at this moment, after thinking about it, Azir found a new reason to object:
"The Ascended ones are superior not only because of their strength, but also because of their contributions."
"Without the Ascended Ones who conquered foreign enemies and fought against the Void, Shurima would never have been an empire, and humanity might even have been extinct at the hands of the Void more than 3,000 years ago."
"Ascended people have made such huge contributions, shouldn't they be worshiped by others?"
Azir changed his mind. He didn't talk about the power of the ascended ones anymore. After all, he couldn't talk about the Wind Leader now.
He began to talk about merit and contribution.
The Ascended One's contribution is far greater than that of mortals, and they deserve to ride on the heads of mortals.
"In terms of protecting the safety of human civilization, the ascended ones have indeed made a great contribution. But..."
Similar issues have been discussed within the leader for a long time.
Extraordinary people feel that since they have made great contributions, they should be superior to others in all aspects. This question is not the first one Azir has raised.
In response, Sivir replied calmly: "For the development and progress of the entire human civilization, are your contributions as ascendants or extraordinary beings really greater than those of mortals?"
"No, the role you play is just a weapon."
"Weapons are important. Without weapons, human civilization cannot survive. Without weapons, there can be no development."
"Can social progress and civilization development after survival be promoted by you 'humanoid weapons'?"
"No - it is craftsmen, scholars, writers, painters, musicians, scientists, engineers...thousands of mortals who promote the progress of civilization."
The premise of all history is the production and reproduction of material life.
The vast majority of producers are the creators of history and the promoters of civilization.
Runeterra has its own peculiarities. Therefore, Li Wei pointedly pointed out in his article that the destructive power of extraordinary people cannot be confused with the productivity of working people.
No matter how powerful the supernatural beings are, it does not mean that their contribution to human civilization can be far greater than that of mortals.
It does not mean that they can use the excuse of "contribution theory" to ride on the heads of mortals reasonably and legally.
"But..." Azir did not admit defeat.
Despite his repeated defeats in debates, he still found a rebuttal.
"You are right, Sivir." Azir partially agreed with the unfilial daughter's words: "The brilliance and glory of human civilization cannot be separated from the contributions of those craftsmen and scholars."
But he added: "But the problem is..."
"Most human beings are just ignorant fools. They don't even know how to read, and their jobs are only the most meaningless manual labor, rather than creative research and inventions."
"Aren't the ones who really promote the progress of human civilization still the few talented scholars and the few intellectual elites?"
"What does this have to do with those brick-and-mortar guys? What contribution have they made to human civilization, and why do they enjoy equal status with the elite?"
Azir cleverly ignored the fact that the elite was born from the masses and separated the "elite" from the "public" group.
Pulling one group and fighting another group, suddenly a lot of pressure will be relieved.
He consciously found a loophole in Janna's theory.
"Tch!" Unexpectedly, Sivir was already prepared: "Aren't the things you mentioned just leftovers from Piltover's games?"
Piltover is taking the elite route.
The Pi City plutocrats and businessmen who were the rulers cleverly brought the middle class represented by intellectuals and cultural elites into their ruling base, forming a stable rule over the lower-class workers represented by the Zaans.
The rich man eats meat, and the middle-class elite can also drink soup. The Zaun people at the bottom are responsible for providing blood food and feeding these Picheng elders together.
Different butts, the elite and the masses at the bottom naturally form a de facto opposition.
The result of this is that the general public is either led astray by the crooked intellectual elite, dazzled by the beautiful appearance of this beacon of civilization, and becomes a loyal supporter of the Pi City plutocrats and Ziben bosses;
Otherwise, there is a lack of support and theoretical guidance from cultural elites, and ultimately they end up bleeding in vain, failing and sinking in blind actions again and again.
Even if the resistance is successful by chance, it is just a gang-style change of power, with a new evil dragon taking over.
“But then, the leader came.”
"Many of the leading cadres are also from elite backgrounds. They will not feel superior to others and will not discriminate against those workers at the bottom who you think are ignorant and ignorant."
"Because we know-"
"Civilization is not only driven by individual geniuses, but also by the broad masses of working people."
"Nonsense!" Azir retorted: "They don't even know the words, how can they promote it?"
Just listen to Sivir's unhurried reply: "It's very simple -"
“The development of civilization is based on the overall prosperity and development of society, and the overall prosperity and development of society is the result of the joint efforts of countless people.”
For example: If Victor were thrown into Shurima 3,000 years ago, would he still be able to build a steam robot?
Of course not.
No matter how smart Victor is, he can't mine and smelt iron, burn coal to generate electricity, or do everything by himself.
The lines are like mountains, and even he, a great scientist, doesn't know where to look for minerals or how to develop them...
Without the social foundation of industrial civilization, great scientists like Victor would never have been born.
"You..." Azir instinctively retorted: "You are using strong words to make sense."
"Is the parts provided by mediocre people more important, or the brains of geniuses? How can this be generalized?"
"You are the one who changed the concept!" Sivir said tit for tat.
“We say that the progress of civilization cannot be separated from the contributions of the masses. This does not mean to deny the leading role of heroes, but to emphasize that we must create a better society so that more people have the opportunity to become elites, use their genius, creativity and A greater achievement.”
"We say that the progress of civilization is driven by genius, nor do we want to mythologise so-called genius and deny the general public who create a stable and prosperous society. Similarly, we are just emphasizing that we need to create a society that respects intellectuals, protects and develops science A good social environment for ideas and creative results.
Some people think that since the Leader is an organization of the general public, it should not mention the contributions of individual geniuses at all, and should allow the intellectual elite to humble themselves and behave humbly in front of the common people, so that the working people can completely "turn over".
this is not right.
Similarly, some people think that since the elite has played a leading role, they should be higher than the general public and should enjoy privileges.
This is also wrong.
Leaders are not diodes, black and white, left or right.
Leaders are dialectical.
Only seeing geniuses and ignoring the masses, only seeing the masses and ignoring geniuses, are not the correct answers for leaders.
The elite and the masses have never been separated, but are one. The elite leads the masses, but they are also born from the masses and dependent on the masses. No one is nobler than the other and no one can be lacking.
Leaders recognize the contributions of elites, and at this stage, they will also allow elites to receive more material rewards based on the principle of distribution according to work.
But apart from economic differences, the elite and the masses must be equal in terms of personal dignity, legal status and political power.
The elite and the masses work together, and there is nothing to lose.
"Can you understand, Azir?" Sivir asked with a raised brow.
"..." Azir was speechless.
He was silent for a long time, and then looked at Sivir in surprise with an almost tacit attitude: "Did you come up with all of this yourself?"
Over the past month, her debating ability and thinking level have improved rapidly, far beyond his understanding of this "wild princess".
But in the capital of Shurima, there is no other leader besides Sivir.
Could it be that she has been secretly following that blue bird to make up lessons remotely?
"No." Sivir shook his head: "I have just been communicating and discussing with Grand Maester Nasus."
Azir: "..."
Good guy, Nasus, you...
I asked you to teach this child ancient classics, and you just talk to her about this every day?
"Because Nasus knows that studying ancient classics cannot save Shurima." Sivir looked at Nasus' hard-working back in the distance: "And compared to you, he at least knows what the fate of Shurima he wants to save is What is-"
"Is it the old glory of the Ascended Ones, or is it the people of this land?"
Azir fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
"So..." Sivir looked over expectantly: "Are you willing to participate in labor and help clean up the sand in the canal?"
He thought for a long time and finally...
"What a shame! No matter how you say it, I am the emperor and the ascended one!"
Azir turned around and left angrily, as if fleeing from here.
............................
It was a night when the sea of sand was churning, and the rivers and canals were dredged for hundreds of miles overnight.
Everyone told the emperor.
The emperor said, this is a miracle sent from heaven to Shurima. The universe is impermanent and the way of heaven is unpredictable and cannot be studied in detail.
It was like this every night after that. The next month, the river opened and all the sand was gone.
