Chapter 1194 The Gain Outweighs the Loss
Luo Feng told the source of the secret, but Taiwu still didn't believe it. He only thought that it was probably an alarmist story he made up to scare people.
However, although the joke is ridiculous, it is not absolutely impossible if you think about it carefully. The joke may be false, but it is true that the gods are cold, ruthless and hierarchical. The way to maintain the hierarchy is through numerous heavenly rules and endless divine punishments.
Throughout the tens of thousands of years of history of the Sword Immortal, the Emperor rarely blesses, but often punishes. From the Empress Nuwa to the first divine general Feipeng to the Nine Heavens Xuannv, every one of them was punished and treated extremely miserably.
Nuwa was the wife of the Emperor of Heaven. She had the merit of sealing away the five ancient monsters and quelling the ancient flood. However, she was expelled from the Goddess by the Emperor of Heaven just for protecting the human race. He also sent troops to attack and kill her, vowing to exterminate her and the human race.
The first god general Feipeng has been guarding Tianmen against the demons for countless years and has accumulated many merits. No matter how great his previous achievements are, if he makes a small mistake, he will die.
Jiutian Xuannv is the favored minister of the Emperor of Heaven. She exists like a biological daughter. She works for the Emperor without any credit but with hard work. She went down to earth to fall in love but was tortured to death, leaving a psychological shadow that the lover will never let go of.
What the Emperor of Heaven did was really a bit mean and unkind.
Throughout history, in fact, a mean and ungrateful emperor may not necessarily be incapable of being talented and strategizing. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was famous for being mean and ungrateful, appointing cruel officials, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and implicating countless people. Being a minister of such an emperor would make life difficult. Not having a good time.
Compared with Nuwa, Fei Peng, and Jiutian Xuannv, Taiwu can't even be considered as having meritorious service.
The combined contributions of more than ten generations of Shushan sect can only show the door to the divine world for five hundred years, which cannot be compared with those great gods who have served the Emperor of Heaven for tens of thousands of years.
The great gods were punished to death even if they made some serious mistakes. The Shushan sect tricked the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven to death. You can imagine the consequences. It might be a hundred times worse than the Qionghua sect!
Even if the Emperor of Heaven is not seeking justice for his daughter, but simply wants to silence these humble mortals who have watched his daughter's uncensored video and safeguard the dignity of the gods, he cannot leave Shushan alive, for fear of killing all living creatures within a thousand miles. Only then can the negative effects be completely eradicated!
The more he thought about it, the colder Taiwu's heart became, and he said with difficulty: "Master Luo, if I can't bear the crime, the Shushan sect will definitely join the Shushan sect in the God Realm. Where should we go from Shushan?"
Without thinking, Luo Feng immediately replied: "It depends on whether you Shushan disciples regard yourself as human beings."
Taiwu was stunned and said: "Why did the Imperial Master say this? Although our Shushan Sect also accepts demon disciples, they are only a minority. The vast majority of disciples are from the human race."
"Although most of the disciples of Shushan Sect are from the human race, Shushan belongs to the immortal world. Whether you Shushan disciples are considered people in the immortal world or in the human world is very unclear."
Luo Feng said meaningfully: "Although Jiutian Xuannv suffered in the human world, the person who indirectly harmed her was the Shushan sect in the immortal world or the Shushan sect in the human world. There is a big difference between the two. If it was the immortal world that harmed Jiutian Xuannv, Girl, then you can only cause trouble on your own. The disputes between your fairy world and the divine world have nothing to do with the human world. As a national master of the human world, the poor monk has no control over the affairs of other worlds."
This sounds like a scapegoat, and it is done so cleanly, just like when the gods and demons fight, the human world won't pay attention at all. If there is a dispute between the immortal world and the god world, what does it have to do with the human world?
The Shushan disciples in the main hall were all listening. When they heard what Luo Feng said, they couldn't help but speak. Some people scolded, some collapsed, and some started talking:
"Damn it, we refused to close the mountain protection formation to protect the human world. We offended the gods, but now they say we have nothing to do with the human world!"
"There's no better way to add insult to injury than to add insult to injury!"
"It's over, it's over, we have been abandoned by the whole world, what should we do!"
"Although the Immortal Realm claims to be one realm, it is actually just a loose alliance of several immortal cultivating sects. If something happens to us in Shushan, other immortal cultivating sects will avoid it and will not care about it at all."
"Hey, then why do we call ourselves the fairy world? Isn't this just isolating ourselves?"
"It's not like the founders of the major cultivating sects back then wanted to show that cultivators are different from ordinary people. This is really shooting themselves in the foot."
…
"You all should shut up, what a shame!"
With a loud shout, interrupting the noisy discussion in the hall, Taiwu said with a dark face: "Back then, when the Shushan sect gained the trust of the gods, you carried the Demon Subduing Manual and flew with swords, so you didn't feel that you were superior to others! Now! When the crisis comes, do you realize that the immortal world is so thin that it cannot support the title of a world?"
The Shushan disciples all lowered their heads in shame, speechless, and the hall became quiet again.
After suppressing the noise in the hall, Taiwu asked with a solemn expression: "Master, what if we Shushan disciples abandon the false name of immortals in the immortal world and become human beings again?"
"Then this matter is under my control!"
Luo Feng's tone suddenly changed and he said majestically: "My master's conclusion on this incident is that the Shushan Sect has clearly made meritorious deeds. Not only will they not be punished, they will also be greatly rewarded for adhering to their principles and guarding the important territory of Shushan!"
Even when he heard Luo Feng talking about rewards, Taiwu still frowned and said, "National Master, this is not a question of right or wrong. Even if you think we did the right thing, Shushan still won't be able to pass the test if the God Realm holds us accountable."
"Why should the God Realm be held accountable?"
Luo Feng said solemnly: "Since you think you belong to the human race, my treatment of you is the final decision. This belongs to the internal affairs and judicial independence of the human world, and the divine realm has no right to interfere! If the gods descend from the divine realm to attack Shushan, it will be tantamount to Declaring war on the human world, the human race will mobilize all its forces to resist desperately and swear to kill all the gods who invade the human world!"
Taiwu said in astonishment: "The divine world is much stronger than the human world. If a war started because of a mere Shushan sect, wouldn't it cause countless mortals to suffer? This would be too much of a loss!"
Taiwu was also very upright. As soon as he said these words, even many Shushan disciples frowned.
"That's right, going to war with an extremely powerful enemy for such a reason will kill people. Many people will die. If you send thousands of disciples to Shushan, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will die. It seems that the gain is not worth the loss."
Luo Feng said meaningfully: "But think about it, if the human race can't even protect the heroes who have done the right thing and fulfilled their duties to save them, and betray the heroes regardless of right and wrong when the superior world is held accountable, then our human race will lose again. What? Will there be any more heroes who uphold justice in the human race in the future? A nation without heroes is sad. Instead of submissive and perfidious and living under the pressure of power, even if the last drop of blood is spent, it will definitely Only a nation like this that does not bow its head deserves to have a future!"
