Chapter 703 The Road to the Future
Li Yuan began to take in and shelter the injured spirits, while Tian Yao took away some of the spirits and demons that were full of hatred.
They don't want to cause killing, but sometimes the evil thoughts in people's hearts cannot be restrained no matter how many morals and laws are used. Only the threat of death can stop them before the bottom line.
This is a brand new era, and also a brief period of peace before the chaos.
The human race, which began to gain power, had expanded ambitions and quickly magnified greed. Li Yuan did not want to stifle the human race's desire to become stronger, but to tell them that what they did had a price.
The intelligent creatures are simple-minded, so they encounter the danger of being lured and killed, but once they are prepared, they will not allow the nascent human race to slaughter them at will.
This is an unfair stab in the back. If the human race is determined to force the spirits to the opposite side, what Li Yuan has to do is to give other creatures a fair situation.
If a war is to break out, the two ethnic groups should fight openly. Since both sides are part of the human race, he, as a god, will not interfere. At most, whoever wins will become the new entity of destiny, and he will then come to support them.
From this we can see that Li Yuan actually has dissatisfaction and anger towards this group of people in his heart.
After all, as a god who should maintain the balance of all living things, he often gave special care to the human race along the way. But some greedy people slapped the human race in the face with their own hands, telling all living beings with their actions that although they advocate morality, talk about peace, and claim to be the best of all living things in wisdom, they put their own interests first and put the common interests behind them, and they are not worthy of such care!
After all, peace is not permanent, and catastrophe will continue to sweep. Such behavior will undoubtedly intensify the future catastrophe and make it difficult for creatures of all races to trust humans!
What the Heavenly Demon wants to do is to let those extremely greedy people see that if they push the spirits into a desperate situation, terrifying demons will be bred!
These monsters should not have appeared. In fact, they were originally practicing the method of merit, fasting and hiding from the world, never killing or harming anyone. However, they were created by humans themselves. Those who committed big mistakes have to bear the wrath of these creatures and pay for their evil consequences.
Li Yuan has been partial to the human race many times, and even tried his best to promote the prosperity of the human race with An Yue. But this time he can no longer be partial, and blindly indulging will only destroy the future of the human race.
If people are blinded by the immediate interests and fail to see the hidden dangers behind, then when the creatures full of hatred degenerate into demons and return for revenge, and when the creatures of other races stand idly by and watch the human race during the catastrophe, they will understand with their blood.
In other words, this century of peace was broken by the human race driven by greed, and they must and can only bear the consequences.
If appropriate killing makes sense, Li Yuan will not hesitate. Of course, he will not personally swing the butcher knife at weak creatures, and Tian Yao will also control those hateful spirit beasts and demons, at least not let them hurt truly innocent people.
Fairness has always been a relative word.
Li Yuan is a god. He accepts offerings from all spirits, with the human race being the main component. This supports him to a great extent. So even if he acts with anger and disappointment, he will eventually consider the human race a little bit, and at least will not kill innocent people in vain.
The Heavenly Demon is a demon. He does not need the incense and worship from all living beings, nor does he owe anyone anything. He only needs to lead the angry creatures to do what they want to do in their hearts.
Even though the Heavenly Demon had clearly stated that once they had become demons and had lost their original nature and only had the instinct to kill and devour, they would be killed by the Heavenly Demon to avoid harming innocent lives, they still chose to go back for revenge, which showed how strong their hatred for the human race was.
I would rather lose my heart and my life than fight back against the human race.
Fairness is somewhat vague at this moment, and has different meanings. Li Yuan chose to "close his eyes" and accept the disappointed creatures; Tian Yao chose to open his angry eyes and let the greedy people taste the consequences with their own hands.
Although their choice is based on the results of discussions between the two parties.
......
Wandering silently around the world, Li Yuan brought back millions of intelligent creatures who no longer wanted to be with humans.
This is their choice. Even if they are to stay away from the human world and live in the secret realm that Li Yuan will create in the future, they are unwilling to live in a world with human beings.
The actions of those greedy people make these intelligent creatures feel chilled to the bone.
After all, they helped each other in the great catastrophe and turbulent times, and overcame the difficulties together in the face of pressure from those evil gods and demons; but in the blink of an eye, the human race has just entered a period of prosperity and has some power, but it cannot even control itself during these brief decades of peace, and its greedy nature is fully exposed.
They didn't even pose any threat to humans, unlike demons that would attack humans. But even though people knew they were simple-minded, they still didn't let them go in the face of profit.
But when many of these creatures encounter difficulties, it is also another group of kind-hearted people who lend a helping hand, resist those greedy people, and protect them from escaping.
The evil ones and the good ones are all human beings, which makes many intelligent creatures feel entangled and divided. After all, although they are intelligent, they do not have the complex thinking of human beings, and it is difficult for them to understand the various behaviors and contrasts of human beings.
However, they have clear intelligence born from ignorance and are special creatures picked out from thousands. They are unwilling to be threatened by such a capricious race and easily become food and fur tools for humans.
In the end, these millions of intelligent creatures neither chose to retaliate against the human race nor chose to stay in the human world. Instead, they chose to follow the god Li Yuan and live in the secret realm that Li Yuan would create in the future.
As long as Li Yuan is willing to provide them with an environment that is similar to the outside world and there is no threat from humans, it doesn't matter where they practice, as they all live in seclusion anyway.
Li Yuan temporarily arranged them in Anshan and the surrounding areas. The people nearby were educated in Anyue's thinking and understood the importance of harmonious coexistence between spirits and humans better than those greedy people in the outside world. Moreover, with the strict supervision of Anyue capital, they would not attack the harmless spirit beasts.
Afterwards, Li Yuan began to retreat quickly, using the power of the top powerful beings to prepare for the secret realm that only a powerful being could create!
In order to accommodate all the spirits and even prepare for the distant ideas in his mind, Li Yuan began to count a large number of various materials.
This incident is not just a conflict between races, it also reveals many drawbacks.
This includes Anyue’s imperial system.
Although Anyue's imperial system was considered extremely enlightened and benevolent compared to those of the past countries, it was ultimately limited by its complicated system and vast territory.
Anyue's core ideas can only affect the people in the surrounding areas at most. If the local officials do nothing, the situation may be even worse.
It is just like those people who greedily hunt all kinds of animals, plants and spiritual beasts. The main self-suggestion in their hearts is - the mountains are high and the emperor is far away!
As a prosperous dynasty, your Anyue's laws and military force can control Anshan and the surrounding areas, but can it control the whole world?
When we, who have cultivation, commit crimes, we just run away. Can you send a large army to suppress the people in the world? The cost of mobilizing a large army is too terrible. Even the powerful Anyue can't afford it easily!
Looking at the various intelligent creatures that Li Yuan had settled all over the land, Emperor Anyue was worried. He knew that reform was imperative, and this incident was just a trigger! If there were no timely changes, more things would happen in the future!
But in a world where immortals, gods, demons and monsters coexist, and in an era where spiritual practice and science advance together, finding a suitable path system is a huge challenge for Anyue and even for the human race.
