Universal Simulation: I have countless talents

Yang Goudan showed the evil of human nature to Li Hao.

Li Hao stared at Yang Goudan in front of him with a complicated expression.

"I thought you understood me, but I was wrong.

You are right. I don't understand the principles of heaven. I don't even understand human nature, but I want to keep the principles of heaven and eliminate human desires."

Li Hao looked a little lonely.

Li Hao found out that he was wrong. He didn't know when he started to lose himself in the compliments of the followers.

He was complacent and proud of his achievements.

He became more and more immersed in preaching and completely lost his original intention.

"Is this the way the teacher said?

When I walked on this road, there was no turning back. I could only keep going.

Only by keeping my original intention, being firm and unwavering, and not being disturbed by the outside world, my heart is my way."

Li Hao murmured, but it was a pity that he understood it too late.

The raging flames ignited under Li Hao. In the fire, Li Hao looked extremely calm.

Li Hao recalled his life, which was short but extraordinary.

"I'm sorry, I can't fulfill your obsession for you."

Li Hao said to himself silently. Li Hao's predecessor had two obsessions, one was to kill his enemies, and the other was to bring Li Rongrong back to life.

Now, Li Hao has only fulfilled one of his obsessions.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I disappoint you."

Li Hao's figure was twisting and dissipating little by little.

In essence, Li Hao was a twisted, powerful spiritual force that was condensed into substance, but he did not have extraordinary characteristics, and his lifespan and means were no different from ordinary people.

He would also be injured and die.

So Li Hao could not be safe and sound under the burning fire.

In a trance, Li Hao seemed to see Wang Pan in front of him, staring at him quietly, with disappointment in his eyes.

The fire burned for half the night, and the followers of the Dashi Sect around him gradually left until dawn.

There was only a high platform full of embers on the spot, emitting waves of heat.

Wang Pan stood on the high platform, watching his cheap disciple's vitality disappear bit by bit, but he never took action.

Wang Pan had high hopes for Li Hao, and kept a backup plan on Li Hao, in order to prevent Li Hao from being affected by the ancient god.

However, Wang Pan did not expect that this backup plan would be triggered under such circumstances.

"What heavenly principles and human desires are just appearances.

When you are strong enough, what you say is the rule.

The heaven and earth will also give in to you."

Wang Pan shook his head, you said that you honestly comprehended the origin, and became an ancient god with a mortal body, wouldn't it be good?

After becoming an ancient god, you have powerful strength and a long life. When you come to promote your doctrine, it's still what you say, it's what it is. Can a group of ordinary people still burn you, an ancient god, to death?

Now it's good, you killed yourself.

Wang Pan felt a little regretful, not for Li Hao as a person, but for Li Hao's talent.

To be honest, Li Hao's talent is beyond imagination. No matter what son of luck is in front of Li Hao, he is not worthy of carrying shoes for him.

In thousands of worlds, there may not be a person like Li Hao.

But it is just a pity. When the potential has not yet turned into strength, everything is like bubbles, which will burst with a poke.

This is Li Hao's calamity. If he can survive, he will turn into a dragon, and if he can't survive, he will turn into ashes.

From the beginning, Wang Pan made a decision. Unless an ancient god attacks Li Hao, Wang Pan will not interfere in Li Hao's affairs.

And Li Hao did not realize that strength is the foundation until his death.

Whenever Li Hao wakes up and realizes this, Wang Pan will save Li Hao.

Unfortunately, Li Hao was entangled in the heavenly law and human desire until his death.

Wang Pan disappeared on the spot. He was just a nominal disciple. He couldn't even fight against ordinary people. He died.

Time passed slowly.

Since the Tianli Sect changed to the Dashi Sect, Yang Goudan began to show his iron-blooded methods.

First, a great purge was started, and all the followers who originally believed in the idea of ​​preserving heaven's principles and eliminating human desires were sent to the stake.

Then Yang Goudan formed alliances and jumped around among a group of elders, making a good living.

By the time someone realized that something was wrong, it was too late. At this time, Yang Goudan had already become a big shot. There were always people who were unwilling to accept it, but they were powerless to resist.

Yang Goudan was in power, and one elder after another was either sidelined by Yang Goudan or had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.

It's not that no one thought of resisting, but they all failed. They were suppressed by Yang Goudan with iron-blooded means, and all the participants were killed.

In the following three years, the Great Tang Church was in turmoil, everyone was in danger, and as many as 100,000 people were implicated and beheaded.

When Yang Goudan was the only voice left in the church, the position of the leader could no longer satisfy Yang Goudan.

But Yang Goudan also knew that he couldn't be impatient now, so he patiently began to recuperate.

Unlike Li Hao's pursuit of preserving the laws of nature and eliminating human desires, Yang Goudan believes that human desires are innate, and desires are the root of the advancement of the country and civilization.

Therefore, serving as an official under Yang Goudan, all kinds of treatment are available, which is unimaginable!

Speaking of salary alone, when the ancient country of Kongming was at its peak, several surrounding countries trembled under the pressure of the ancient country of Kongming, which can be said to be a superior country.

But even in such a powerful ancient country of Kongming, the annual salary of a seventh-rank county magistrate, all added up, is only 600 taels of silver.

600 taels of silver seems to be a lot, but it is obviously not enough to maintain the expenses of a county magistrate.

Therefore, corruption and bribery are rampant among officials in the ancient country of Kongming, and everyone is obsessed with making money.

But under Yang Goudan, a seventh-rank county magistrate has a salary equivalent to about 10,000 taels of silver a year!

The higher the position, the higher the salary!

While the salary is high, the punishment for corruption and bribery is unprecedentedly severe.

If more than 100 taels of silver are embezzled in a year, once discovered, the nine clans will be exterminated!

If a member of the nine clans finds that an official of the clan has embezzled or accepted bribes, he can report it. The reporter's family will be spared from death, and he can even temporarily take over all the positions of the reported person. After half a year, he will be evaluated and directly promoted to a regular position if he passes the evaluation.

In Yang Goudan's words, the people have suffered a lot in supporting you, so don't set your sights on the people, otherwise it will be hard to find a three-legged toad, but people who want to be officials don't need you.

In addition, the so-called aristocratic families are not allowed to exist.

All the noble families were divided up, and the family members were scattered to various places. Letters were not allowed to be exchanged, and those who violated the rules were executed.

From the date the regulations came into effect, anyone with more than fifteen direct relatives in the family would be executed.

After reaching fifteen people, if you want to add a child to the family, you can!

If there is more than one person, you have to pay 100,000 taels of silver, and if there are more than two people, you have to pay 200,000 taels of silver, and so on!

This is to prevent the noble families from becoming too big to be eliminated, and at the same time, to prevent the noble families from exploiting and oppressing the people, so that they can only choose between owning land and doing business.

The land is not allowed to exceed ten times the number of people, that is, if there are fifteen people in the family, they can own a maximum of 150 acres of land.

As for choosing to do business, half of the profits will be handed over.

If you conceal that your income exceeds 1,000 taels, the whole family will be executed.

After all, the people have tried their best to maintain the salaries of officials, and they can no longer afford the exploitation of the noble families.

In addition, in order to let the people see hope, Yang Goudan also deliberately left a way for the people to rise.

That is the twenty-level military merit system. Anyone who kills five enemies on the battlefield will have his rank upgraded by one level!

Of course, the higher the rank, the harder it will be to upgrade it.

This combination of punches stunned everyone.

But the effect was surprisingly good.

The people had hope and were eager to change their class.

Although the aristocratic families were split up, each member of the family was given a share of the family property, and they did not have to worry about being strangled by local officials when doing business.

Officials did not need to risk losing their heads to embezzle and accept bribes. Just relying on their salaries was enough to support their team and their family.

Yang Goudan, on the other hand, consolidated his position and power.

Of course, there are courageous people everywhere. Even if Yang Goudan has banned it, as long as there is profit, there will still be people who risk losing their heads to do it.

Yang Goudan believes that human desire is innate and should not be erased, but it should not be allowed to expand endlessly. One must learn to restrain oneself, otherwise one will only be swallowed by desire in the end.

Yang Goudan will kill those who cannot learn to restrain themselves and allow their desires to expand endlessly without mercy.

Eight years later, after eight years of recuperation, Yang Goudan directly established himself as king.

He raised an army of 800,000 and attacked the other two forces in the ancient country of Kongming at the same time.

The soldiers had a channel for advancement, and they were not much inferior to the believers in the original Tianli Sect who believed in preserving the heavenly principles and eliminating human desires in battle.

Each of them was extremely brave on the battlefield and fearless of death.

No mistakes in one poem, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

One fights for faith, and the other fights for interests.

When the granary is full, one knows etiquette, and when the food and clothing are sufficient, one knows honor and disgrace.

There are only a few people with faith, and if one dies, there will be one less, while those who seek profit will continue to rush forward, like a stream of carp crossing the river.

It took only eight months for the Great Tang Religion to defeat the other two forces in the ancient country of Kongming!

So far, the northern border has been unified.

Wang Pan, who was comprehending the origin of space, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Failed again? How many times is this?"

Wang Pan shook his head. Although emotions have unlimited potential and power in certain situations and can turn decay into magic, they are not omnipotent.

Wang Pan closed his eyes again, and the space around him kept disappearing in front of Wang Pan.

On the same day, Yang Goudan proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named Taihao! The year name was changed to Jianyuan!

The Great Tang Religion was established as the state religion. In the same year, he brazenly crossed the north-south dividing line and attacked several countries that had occupied the southern border for decades, and began to recover the lost territory.

After six years, he finally defeated several countries and recovered the entire territory.

Yang Goudan was not satisfied with this and ordered a pursuit, intending to incorporate all the surrounding countries into Taihao's territory.

Finally, under the Hengling Mountains, the Taihao army won a decisive battle and completely crippled the surrounding countries.

It took another three years to incorporate the territories of the surrounding countries into Taihao's territory.

At this time, Yang Goudan was already 42 years old, which was considered old age in this era.

Yang Goudan could feel that his body was getting worse day by day, which made Yang Goudan feel scared.

Yang Goudan had already taken power and enjoyed a luxurious life.

Yang Goudan did not care about power, but wanted to live forever.

So, the upper class followed the lower class.

A vigorous search for immortals was launched in Taihao, and all kinds of monsters and ghosts emerged.

Yang Goudan collected Taoist scriptures, various strange stories, and precious medicinal materials from all over the world, and built an endless Taoist palace.

In this Taoist palace, there lived a group of alchemists who specialized in refining elixirs for Yang Goudan.

But as time went by, countless manpower and material resources were consumed, and the elixirs they refined not only did not make Yang Goudan's health better, but it became worse and worse.

This made Yang Goudan's patience almost exhausted.

Yang Goudan was very clear-headed. From the beginning to the end, Yang Goudan knew that it was impossible to make an elixir of immortality with this group of people.

Therefore, Yang Goudan did not have too much expectation at the beginning.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Originally, Yang Goudan thought that if he did not have too much expectation, he would not be too disappointed.

But when the time came, Yang Goudan found out that he was wrong.

Immortality!

This is what many emperors dream of. How can you be calm about immortality?

Yang Goudan had a thoughtful look on his face, and a little murderous intent in his eyes.

Instead of being troubled by immortality, it is better to kill all these alchemists and give up the idea.

In the remaining short time, cultivate descendants well and pass on the great cause that he has not completed.

"Alas, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Yang Goudan's face changed for a while, and his heart was in a struggle. In the end, desire overwhelmed reason.

What if?

What if the elixir of immortality is really refined?

Outside the palace, in a continuous palace complex, the fragrance of medicine is extremely strong, infecting this world.

Countless people are busy, either transporting medicinal materials or cutting wood and burning charcoal, in an orderly manner, each doing their own job.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded, flames shot up to the sky, and half of the palace was blown down.

But everyone just took a calm look and started to busy themselves with their own things.

It was just a furnace explosion. From the initial novelty and fear, they are no longer surprised now.

If there is no furnace explosion one day, they will not be used to it.

Several servants rushed into the ruins and dragged out a poor guy whose half body was blown to pieces.

A group of craftsmen carried various tools and began to repair the palace.

The process was so skilled that it was heartbreaking.

At the door of another palace, Luo Ye was a little dazed watching this scene.

"Maybe, I will die in a furnace explosion one day."

Luo Ye whispered softly.

Originally, Luo Ye had no worries about food and clothing, and his family was rich.

But all this changed when Luo Ye was 22 years old.

Because his mother Bu Shi died.

Without Bu Shi's protection, Luo Ye's ability and knowledge were not enough to keep such a huge fortune.

A few years later, Luo Ye fell into the streets.

It happened that Emperor Yang was looking for immortals and summoned talented people from all over Taihao to refine the elixir of immortality. In order to make a living, Luo Ye transformed himself into a Taoist master.

Now, the 34-year-old Luo Ye is already the chief alchemist.

The reason why he became the chief alchemist was all thanks to the support of his peers.

Luo Ye's original intention was just to make a living, how could he make any elixir of life.

So Luo Ye directly kneaded the balls by hand, mixed flour with some strengthening herbs, and pretended to be elixirs for Yang Di to eat.

The other alchemists were different. They were not vague at all, and they really did it!

They didn't care whether they could make the elixir of life or whether it would kill people, they just kept refining it.

All kinds of messy things were stuffed into the alchemy furnace, which made Luo Ye tremble with fear.

He happily presented the elixir, and then the group of alchemists were all gone.

On the contrary, Luo Ye's hand-kneaded balls were not deadly and had no side effects. They passed layers of inspections, and the taste, flavor, and effect were well received by Yang Di.

Thus, as the years passed, Luo Ye became the chief alchemist without knowing it, because there was no alchemist with more seniority than him. All the alchemists with more seniority than him were dead, and the grass on their graves was taller than the people.

Luo Ye turned around, entered the hall, dismissed the Taoist boy, and began to pretend to make the elixir.

In order to maintain his own mystery, Luo Ye would naturally not let people see him making pills with his hands. Every time Luo Ye would start the furnace to make the elixir seriously, regardless of what he would make, he had to make it look good, after all, details determine success or failure.
