Chapter 438 The Past of the Thousand Prefectures - Ancient Times

With the foundation of the Earth Origin Continent, once it stabilizes, their role will not be that great.

In addition to the ancient gods before, the first one to arrive was the Goddess of Wisdom. The reason why she is introduced as a key target.

That's because the Goddess of Wisdom brought enough resources. You know, the resources she brought are the sum of all the resources of the Thousand Prefectures in the next era.

In order to make the Goddess of Wisdom agree to re-conduct the Thousand Prefectures Competition to determine the resource allocation for the last era, it was because the resource allocation this time was more than ten times the usual.

And it can be taken out at one time.

The resources that were hastily allocated for ten years were used in the last Thousand Prefectures Competition in the previous stage. This was the only one before the catastrophe.

It was also held for special reasons and was not planned.

This competition determined the direction and allocation of resources, and the Goddess of Wisdom won 80% of the resources of the last era of the Thousand Prefectures with this competition.

You should know that the Goddess of Wisdom could only get 10%.

This is already a lot. The Thousand Prefectures does not have only 1,000 academies.

Instead, there are tens of millions of schools, even hundreds of millions of schools. Every year, low-level schools are born, and high-level schools are promoted.

In this case, 10% seems to be a lot of resources.

After all, the remaining 90% needs so many forces to divide.

This is why the previous leader disagreed with the plan of the Goddess of Wisdom and wanted to redistribute the interests.

But he didn't know that his behavior was a loss, and he gave his own interests to others.

Now, according to the results after the big competition, the Goddess of Wisdom directly got more than 80% of the resources of the entire civilization.

A top-level cosmic civilization, how many resources it has in an era, it is simply countless.

And because it is a catastrophe, the resources this time have increased tenfold.

That is equivalent to the Goddess of Wisdom getting all the resources of the Thousand Prefectures in eight eras.

If compared with the Earth Source Continent, it is equivalent to more than 200 billion times the Geo-Continental Continent.

It can be said that these resources have instantly made the Earth Source Continent reach the level of a top empire from a low-end civilization that has just completed the upgrade war.

It even surpassed the sum of the two empires on his left and right sides, because the Thousand Mansions Country is the strongest batch. Although the Rage Empire and the Undead Empire are also famous, the gap between them and the Thousand Mansions Country is not a little bit.

If we use resources to make a simple and rough analogy.

Then the resources brought by the Goddess of Wisdom are the sum of the total resources of the Thousand Mansions Country for eight eras, the resources of the Rage Empire for 100 eras, and the resources of the Undead Empire for 140 eras. It is conceivable what kind of injection the Earth Source Continent has received.

And we must understand that materials are materials, and they need to be used. This means that even a large empire with a long history cannot take out so many resources at one time.

That is, the system of the Thousand Mansions Country is quite strange, so it can have such capabilities.

And resources are also consumables.

It is impossible for the Rage Empire to use all the materials of more than a hundred eras in one time period. It must be averaged, that is, some resources are used every year. These resources will be converted into strength, which may improve the foundation of the entire empire.

But the reason why it is possible is that these resource investments may be in a loss state.

Because there is another important factor that consumes the resources of the major empires, that is, war.

Of course, there are some minor reasons.

Because there are too few influencing factors, let's not talk about it for now.

War is the biggest reason for consuming resources, especially those with feuds, such as the war between the Violent Empire and the Undead Empire, which consumes 80%~90% of the output every year.

It may even reach more than 100%, which means that during the war, their consumption far exceeds the output.

And it is possible to use the foundation.

In this case, their materials are negative growth, and their strength is also negative growth.

It is only because the size of the empire is too large that it is not so conspicuous.

And this is still a small statement. If the two empires fight each other, the consumption will be huge.

There are many reasons for the demise of the great empire, but the most important reason is war, and only war can make a top empire fall from the altar in an instant.

Just like the Thousand Mansions where the Goddess of Wisdom stayed before, they were not a neutral empire and did not have such a large capital.

They are not even one of the top ten empires in the universe, so why did they develop so fast?

It's because of war.

In ancient times, they experienced a war that almost led to extinction, which made the leaders of the Thousand Prefectures realize that war is an important reason for the decline of an empire.

And what can be done to ensure that the country does not experience war?

That is to remain neutral.

Maintain the existing territory and no longer expand. After all, when the empire expands to a certain stage, it has no shortage of resources.

When it comes to the ranks of top empires, resources can be regenerated.

After all, there are only a few permanent consumable resources.

Only those top resources are qualified to use national power to rob, and the others are not worth mentioning at all.

So permanent neutrality has become a feasible plan.

The leaders of the Thousand Prefectures in ancient times have been implementing this plan, and they have enriched the feasibility of this plan from generation to generation.

Constantly verify whether this theory can bring what they want to the Thousand Prefectures.

The experimental results are successful. Permanent neutrality has indeed reduced their chances of participating in wars. At the same time, the Thousand Prefectures, which focuses on internal development, has been growing at a rate of more than 10% per year.

You must know that the size of a country is very huge, and the growth of compound interest is even more terrifying.

Not to mention much, if a country can guarantee a growth rate of 2% per year, then their strength will become extremely powerful in the near future.

And the Thousand Prefectures have continued to grow in this way for ten eras, that is, more than 1.2 million years.

It grew from the weakest civilization at that time to the top empire in the universe, and even advanced to the top five.

Of course, due to the increase in size, he could not maintain such a high growth rate in the end.

But as long as the country is in the ranks of positive growth.

Then they will sooner or later become the strongest in the universe.

So what made them fall to their current fate?

It can only barely enter the top ten. Although this position is still strong, it does not seem to match the future scenario they described before.

If it really develops according to their wishes, then the Thousand Mansions Kingdom should be the most powerful empire in the entire universe.

But the facts are obviously not the case.

This is the change of the Thousand Mansions Kingdom in the Middle Ages.
