Chapter 2945

"It's not a problem, I've thought about it a long time ago."

Lu Qingchen said easily, "We can fill the corrupt bureaucratic system of the empire with members of the Holy League, replace those greedy and stupid immortal cultivators, and restore the local order as quickly as possible."

Li Yao's heart turned cold: "What did you say?"

"Holy League people, we still have a lot of Holy League people under our control, have you forgotten?"

Lu Qingchen said lightly, "I admire the free will of human beings as much as you do, so depriving human beings of their emotions and wills is absolutely impossible for me, even if the other party is a cultivator.

"But the brains of these members of the Holy League have long been empty, and they have become flesh and blood puppets who can only faithfully execute orders. To be honest, I don't know how to treat them. Don't you think it's worth a good 'waste utilization'?

"When I played the role of 'puppet king', I learned a lot from Fuxi, including how to implant instructions in the minds of Holy League members on a large scale. Now I have devoured so much information, data and rules of Fuxi , to further enhance the ability to control the Holy League, we can completely write some new, special instructions, let the Holy League become the most honest officials and the most impartial arbitrators, and then put them into chaos on a large scale In the worlds of the empire, the military deterrence of the Federation Expeditionary Force, coupled with the effective control of the Holy League bureaucracy, can solve all problems in the shortest possible time.

"On the other hand, when these members of the Holy League go deep into ordinary people and immortal cultivators who have emotions and desires, after a long period of contact and infiltration, maybe their lost humanity will slowly recover. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"..."

Lu Qingchen's earth-shattering proposal caused Li Yao to be stunned again and remained silent for a long time. He said with a wry smile, "So that's what you came up with, to use the Federation people to manage the Holy League people, and then use the Holy League people to manage the Imperial people, or , Let the Holy League and the Imperials restrain each other, and the Federation will be able to reap the benefits and control everything.

"The plan is good, but I really want to know, if the imperials are dissatisfied with the control of the Holy League, what will you do? Kill those imperials who disobey, send more Holy Leagues to act as managers, and implement high-handed rule? If What if more Holy Leaguers aroused more dissatisfaction and resistance, and then dispatched multiple Holy Leaguers, or the federal army fell from the sky and directly suppressed it by force? Such a vicious cycle, until the end, everyone was expressionless Under the management of the hard-hearted, ruthless Holy League members, a so-called 'order' is formed on the surface, while the Federal people are above the Holy League managers, another privileged class?

"Lu Qingchen, Lu Qingchen, have you really thought about every word you said carefully? Don't you think that this approach will only turn the Star Federation into a copy of the Covenant Alliance, and you yourself will become a copy of the Covenant Alliance? Another Fuxi, or your will is still entangled and eroded by Fuxi's logic, and finally become Fuxi's slave?"

"After all, you just don't believe me."

Lu Qingchen sighed regretfully and desolately, and said, "I know that there are thousands of troops bombing indiscriminately outside, and I took the risk of procrastinating to explain everything to you, just to gain your trust. , I didn’t expect that I threw out such a foolproof plan, you still don’t want to believe it.

"I understand, it's not about the plan, it's about the people. You just don't believe in me. No matter what I say, I'm playing the piano against the cow."

"You're wrong, Lu Qingchen, you're really wrong, it's not that I don't believe you, I, I just, I just...don't believe in myself."

Li Yao's body was full of deep and painful ripples, and he really wanted to reveal the deepest darkness of his soul to Lu Qingchen, "Actually, I have thought about everything you thought of, including the most extreme, Rough, simple, fast and effective.

"This is not even what is happening now, but a long time ago, the moment I took control of the Golden Crystal Tower, I was almost captured by the remnant souls of Golden Crystal Tower and Wu Yingqi 3.0, and became their slave, completely transformed into a dark version Li Yao.

"At that time, I couldn't help thinking, since the Golden Crystal Pagoda can make the entire imperial capital hear my will with the help of the stars, why can't I broadcast the Dao Heart of a cultivator to the entire imperial capital and even the entire universe?" ', turning countless immortal cultivators into true cultivators at once, isn't this once and for all, a complete solution to the problem?

"But I thought about it for a long time, repeatedly entangled with my own demons, entangled for countless days and nights, and finally gave up such an idea.

"Believe me, there are no shortcuts in this world. Every seemingly free gift has a price tagged in the dark. Everything born of deception, coercion and violence will be destroyed by a hundredfold deception, coercion and violence." among.

"Cultivators can't be brainwashed out, but they have to be awakened slowly by themselves and cultivated all their lives. I can use the Golden Crystal Pagoda to brainwash all the cultivators in the entire imperial capital into so-called 'cultivators' in a short time. , but I can't guarantee that they will never transform, wake up, and think of my methods, and I can't guarantee that the hundreds of immortal cultivators in the world other than the imperial capital will have any thoughts after knowing my methods, and I The last thing I can guarantee is myself, after tasting the sweetness of the Golden Crystal Tower, will I know the taste, use the Golden Crystal Tower to do some more terrible things, and instill some nobler ideas to the public, and then even more noble Thoughts, and then more noble thoughts, and finally make everyone lose their self, lose all selfishness, and become my slaves.

"And I am neither omniscient nor immortal. I don't believe that I can completely control the power of the Golden Crystal Tower. After upgrading the power of the Golden Crystal Tower time and time again, I will be completely lost in the deepest darkness of the Golden Crystal Tower. In the end, there are only two results, either I was killed by all the heroes in the entire star sea who longed for freedom and united, and I was ruined, and I will be infamous for thousands of years; or the "absolute light" I maintained with the Golden Crystal Tower lasted for thousands of years , human civilization completely lost its freedom and vitality, and eventually, it was destroyed along with my death.

"No matter what the result is, it is not what I want, so the most sensible way is not to touch the alluring but extremely evil power of the Golden Crystal Tower in the first place, and don't touch those things that you know you can't control. thing!

"Really, Lu Qingchen, what do I have to say before you can understand that the Federation is not rising for the sake of rising, nor are we cultivating for the sake of cultivation, and fighting for hegemony for the sake of hegemony. Sprinkle the glory of the Dao of Comprehension to the entire sea of ​​stars because we believe, we hold the most pious beliefs, and firmly believe that the Star Federation has the most fair, reasonable, and advanced system so far in human civilization. We believe that the federal people and Cultivators are the kindest and most representative of the word "justice". We are not only the sharpest swords of human civilization, but also the children of thousands of ordinary people. We regard all human beings as compatriots, as brothers and sisters. We The purpose of coming to the center of the Star Sea is not to kill and destroy, but to help the brothers, sisters and folks here, and bring them peace, happiness and hope!

"At least, this is the reason why I jumped thousands of miles to the center of the sea of ​​stars, risked my soul and life, and threw myself into the most dangerous dragon pool and tiger lair to fight in blood. I not only want the nine stars to raise the dragon battle flag Flying high in the middle of the Star Sea, I hope to let the people in the middle of the Star Sea know that there is such a Star Federation, and what the life of the Federation people is like, they can be the same as the Federation people!

"And I believe that not only me, but also Ding Lingdang, and my disciples, as well as tens of thousands of practitioners and ordinary soldiers of the Federal Expeditionary Force, they are all the same as me, not only for The survival and bright future of the Federation, and even more so for the survival and bright future of all mankind, are willing to make a "all or nothing" decision, and are willing to gamble everything, go on an expedition alone, and create the greatest in the 100,000-year glorious history of human civilization. Miracle!

"You keep talking about the highest interests of the Federation, but do you really understand that the highest interest of the Federation is not to plant the Nine-Star Rising Dragon Battle Flag in the entire universe, but that everyone in the entire universe can be as bright as the Federation people, Both are positive, have the same ability to pursue their own happiness, believe in the existence of justice, and believe that even though there is still lingering darkness in front of them, the dawn of hope is ahead! If everyone can really think this way, it will fly above their heads What kind of flag is it, whether it is the nine-star rising dragon battle flag or the three-star lightning battle flag, it doesn't matter at all!"

This time, it was Lu Qingchen's turn to be rendered speechless by Li Yao's words, and his expression was uncertain.

"Flag and philosophy, what is more important?"

Li Yao didn't relax, and continued earnestly, "The Nine Stars Rising Dragon Battle Flag is the sesame, and the idea of ​​the federation and the Dao of cultivation are the watermelon. What you have done is purely picking up the sesame and losing the watermelon, or 'buy the box and return it. Zhu'ah! If it is true that according to your plan, the federal people treacherously stabbed the dying heart at the most vulnerable and chaotic time in the center of the star sea, causing the death of hundreds of millions of innocent people, then who would believe it? Us? Who still believes that the cultivators represent justice, the Dao of Comprehension represents hope, and who still believes that the Federation people will become benevolent, better rulers, and bring human civilization to a brighter future?

"No, at that time, no one will believe us, not only all the surviving immortal cultivators and ordinary people in the center of the Star Sea will not believe us, they will only lie in deep dormancy, accumulate more power, and overthrow us at all costs. We; even our own people, those cultivators and expeditionary soldiers who firmly believe that they are fighting for justice, will doubt themselves, go crazy, and their Dao heart will collapse.

"At that time, not only will our rule over the central part of the Star Sea be unsustainable, but even the corner of the Star Sea and the base of the Star Federation's local governance will collapse, because we are not a country that relies on cohesion and coercion by violence, but relies on a common The idea has only come together, the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached, and the ideas that countless martyrs and compatriots have poured with their lives have been killed by you, how can the Federation shine with its proud light?"
