Chapter 26 Shocked Renxue
Chapter 26: Shocked Qian Renxue
"No. In fact, in my eyes, the Heaven Dou Empire does not necessarily have to be an enemy of the Spirit Hall even in the future."
Zhongli suddenly looked at "Xue Qinghe" and said seriously. "Xue Qinghe" was stunned for a moment.
Although Zhongli had never discussed this with her before, she also understood that her "royal brother" had great ambitions. If he really succeeded to the throne in the future, he would definitely become an unprecedented Tiandou emperor with great ambitions. Even she could not understand many of the actions and opinions of this "royal brother", but only afterward could she vaguely understand the greatness of the plan and the deep intentions.
At first, she only had fear towards Zhongli; but now, in her heart, she even had some respect for this "royal brother". If such a person can be used by our Wuhun Hall in the future.
Unfortunately, Zhongli's status as the heir of the Tiandou Empire meant that he was destined to be impossible to win over. Otherwise, no matter how great the price, he would not hesitate to pay it!
Even, even if it is yourself
However, Zhongli, who has such an "ambitious" ambition, actually said that there might not be a conflict between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall in the future? Even she herself felt that the contradiction between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall was almost irreconcilable.
The influence of the Spirit Hall on the continent lies largely in the checks and balances between the two empires. If either side wants to unify the continent and annex the world, the Spirit Hall will not tolerate it.
Moreover, the positions of the Spirit Hall and the nobles of the two empires were also subtly hostile. Apart from anything else, the Spirit Hall forced the two empires to pay out the gold and silver soul coins to provide such generous subsidies to civilian soul masters. How could the nobles of the two empires not feel resentful?
You know, in the original world line, after the demise of the Spirit Hall, the Soul Master Subsidy still existed in name, but it was distributed by the Empire itself, and the amount was directly reduced to one tenth of the original amount (the amount did not change during the Douluo II period, but the currency purchasing power was depreciated to one tenth, and one gold Soul Coin in Douluo II was only equivalent to one silver Soul Coin in Douluo I)
Can the positions of the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall be reconciled?
"Brother, I won't tell anyone else about these things, but I'm going to tell you now."
Zhongli glanced at "Xue Qinghe" and said slowly.
Next, at this stage, he really wouldn't tell anyone in the Tiandou Empire, not even his cheap father. However, the person in front of him was not Xue Qinghe, but Qian Renxue!
"In the future I'm planning, the Tiandou Empire should probably not exist. Times need progress."
After hearing this, Qian Renxue suddenly opened her eyes wide, almost suspecting that she had heard it wrong.
The prince of the Tiandou Empire actually told him that the Tiandou Empire would no longer exist in the future?
For a moment, Qian Renxue even suspected that this "royal brother" of hers might also be an undercover agent sent by some clan, and that the flood had flushed the Dragon King Temple!
"The Tiandou Empire has a history of thousands of years, and there are too many outdated things left. The current Tiandou Empire is not so much serving the people as serving the extravagance and debauchery of the nobles. Look at this Tiandou City, it is so prosperous, but many places can't even support their own soul masters. Many civilians have finally become soul masters, but for various reasons, they have become appendages of the nobles and various soul master families, and are unable to benefit or give back to their hometowns."
Zhongli sighed and said, Not everyone is as cold-hearted as Tang San; if possible, who wouldn't want to give back to the hometown that raised them?
"That's right. The huge noble group of the Tiandou Empire has indeed consumed too many resources of the entire country. The same is true for the affiliated kingdoms of the Tiandou Empire. The Barak Kingdom that was just destroyed by you, the wealth in the treasury is enough for the Wuhun Hall to pay soul master subsidies for twenty years."
Qian Renxue said involuntarily.
"So, in my opinion, these situations will be eliminated in the future. Moreover, in my opinion, humans in the future will not need emperors or nobles to guide them. In the past when humans were threatened by soul beasts, ordinary people still needed to rely on strong people and soul master families to survive, but what about the future?"
Zhongli said calmly.
He had already figured these things out when he was in Liyue. But these words, spoken in this world, were deafening. How could these insights be so profound if Morax had not experienced them for thousands of years?
"But you are the prince of our Tiandou Empire! In the future, maybe you will inherit the throne. Don't you care about your throne?"
Qian Renxue's voice trembled slightly, she looked at Zhongli and asked.
"Although I have no intention of competing for power, I know the suffering of the people. I have never cared about the throne or the country of the Tiandou Empire."
Zhongli replied calmly. In his amber eyes, Qian Renxue saw only pure brilliance. Although I have no intention of competing, I know the suffering of the people.
Qian Renxue's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she looked at the young man in front of her with a slightly dazed look.
It turns out that there are people in this world who don't care about their own power at all, and don't even care about their own personal interests.
Qian Renxue thought she could not get hung up on her own identity and status. As for the position of the Spirit Hall Pope, she felt that it was okay to let that woman sit there. However, the starting point of her thinking was also the interests of the Spirit Hall itself, and she would not think of anything more long-term.
"In fact, compared to being an emperor, I would rather be a guest official or a mentor."
Zhongli sighed and said. This was actually what Zhongli was thinking. He had been the Rock King in Liyue for thousands of years, and he was already very tired. Compared with the emperors and demon gods who ruled the world, he actually preferred to hide in the dark, wander around the world, and guide and help the world.
Qian Renxue felt like she didn't know what to say. Although the person in front of her seemed to be just a boy under thirteen years old, saying that he wanted to be a mentor, she didn't feel anything wrong.
She was even thinking, if she established the Wuhun Empire in the future, could she invite him to be the national teacher?
"I think the Spirit Hall is actually pretty good. Although the Pope of the Spirit Hall is mostly from the Angel Family, in principle it is not inherited by blood. The current Pope is from another bloodline. This is much better than the two empires. The Spirit Hall's subsidy mechanism for civilian spirit masters is also of great help to the development of spirit masters across the continent. If a new country is established in the future, the Spirit Hall will definitely have a place."
Zhongli looked at Qian Renxue and said without any pretense. At this moment, Qian Renxue actually had an urge to nod in agreement.
".Royal brother, these words of yours are really too harsh for me. You can say these words to me, but you must not tell others, not even father."
After a long time, Qian Renxue sighed and said.
"I know. I also know that you, my brother, will never tell anyone."
Zhongli nodded and said. Qian Renxue suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart. Although I really won't tell anyone, how did you know?
Could it be that, in fact, this fifth brother of the emperor already knew my identity a long time ago?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The two of them toured the academy again, discussing with each other what aspects of the current teaching model of Lanba Academy needed to be improved, as well as what other infrastructure of the school needed to be replaced. Before they knew it, it was getting late.
"Royal brother, which academy are you going to represent in this continent-wide youth advanced fighting spirit competition? Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy, or this newly opened Second Soul Master Academy?"
Before leaving, Qian Renxue looked at Zhongli and asked. She had been holding back this question for a long time.
Although Zhongli and Ying had never attended the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy for a single day, according to past rules, generally speaking, the princes and princesses would represent the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy in battles.
"I plan to participate in this competition as an advisor to the first participating team of the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Second Academy. I will also personally select the players for the competition, and I hope that my brother can give me some advice when the time comes."
Zhongli gave an answer that was beyond Qian Renxue's expectations.
Originally, Qian Renxue was most worried about whether the Spirit Hall team could win the championship if Zhongli and Ying participated in the competition. Although she didn't know Zhongli's specific soul power level, she saw that Zhongli's innate level 20 soul power was as abnormal and terrifying as hers. Moreover, Zhongli had an extra twin spirit compared to her.
As a result, Zhongli now said that he is not going to participate in the competition as a team member?
