Chapter 721 The Tragic Era Created by the Gods!
Xiao sat on the clouds, quietly gazing at the Shu Han army in front of him, which was ready to go and full of momentum, with mixed feelings.
Shu Han had its own romance, Cao Wei had its own character, and Jiangdong had its own rats.
Let's talk about Cao Wei's emperor Cao Rui and Shu Han's prime minister Zhuge Liang, both of whom were rare outstanding figures in the world.
They each exuded a unique charm, attracting the attention of many gods.
Because of this, a large number of gods and Buddhas bet on the two of them, hoping to decide the existence that would eventually unify the world from this fierce competition, and win the precious 10% share of spiritual essence for them.
However, fate always seems to be ruthless, just like Zhang Jue, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, who was also burdened with too heavy a spiritual essence, but he became short-lived because of this, and died of illness in just one year.
Once you shoulder too much destiny, you are doomed to not live long in the world.
But for the gods who are high above, even if mortals have extraordinary talents and courage, their lives are just a chess piece in their chess game.
So what if they are short-lived?
They don't care at all!
For them, the spiritual essence is the most important thing, and the full 10% share of the spiritual essence is enough to make them crazy and unscrupulous.
As long as Cao Rui and Zhuge Liang can decide the winner while they are still alive, everything else can be thrown behind.
After all, in the long life of the gods, who will care about the future rise and fall of a country?
Would anyone devote too much affection to an ant that can only survive for three months? Is it to save their lives?
In the eyes of gods and Buddhas, mortals are just like those little bugs that can only survive for three months.
Perhaps when the gods and Buddhas take a nap, the lower world has already experienced vicissitudes of life.
Gods look down on the fights between mortals, just like humans watching cricket fights.
Occasionally, they may be touched by someone's indomitable will, but at most they will applaud and say a few good things.
It is precisely because of this mentality that two heroes who should have shined died prematurely, and both camps lost their outstanding leaders.
In the end, the Sima family took advantage of the opportunity and successfully took power, staging a drama of "Three Families Returning to Jin".
Since then, the wheel of history has rolled forward and entered the chaotic era of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China.
At this moment, Xiao fell into deep entanglement and hesitation.
He didn't know whether to let history develop according to the established trajectory and let the Sima family usurp the throne;
or to stand up and turn the tide, change the direction of fate, allow Cao Wei and Shu Han to continue, and write a completely different chapter in history.
But the problem is that although Cao Wei and Shu Han are regrettable, after the Five Barbarians' Rebellion, there is still the prosperous Tang Dynasty, an era more brilliant than the Three Kingdoms!
The Jin Dynasty itself can be said to have inherited everything left by the three states of Wei, Shu and Wu. However, even so, when the Jin Dynasty was still hit hard,
Can just changing a ruler really save the Central Plains?
Perhaps some people will blame the "Five Barbarians' Rebellion" on the Eight Kings' Rebellion, believing that it was this civil strife that caused the centralization of power to show its weakness, thus giving the Hu people an opportunity to take advantage.
But looking back at the turbulent years of the Three Kingdoms, it is conceivable to what extent the situation was chaotic, but even so, all forces were still able to beat the Hu people without any ability to fight back.
At that time, the rats of Dongwu were often beaten by Shu Han and Cao Wei, and were in a mess, but every time they were frustrated, they were always able to quickly adjust their status and turn around to find trouble with the Hu people to boost their morale.
By killing the Hu people to accumulate confidence, they then returned to the Central Plains without stopping to continue to be beaten.
It can be seen that the reason why the Jin Dynasty declined was not only due to external factors, but more importantly, it was due to the decay and decline of the entire clan system.
These clans frantically accumulated wealth, completely disregarding the life and death of the common people;
The nobles lived an extremely extravagant and indulgent life, indulging in sensual pleasures and even taking the extremely harmful Wushisan for a moment of pleasure.
At the same time, the social etiquette and morality collapsed, the army became corrupt, and its combat effectiveness was sharply reduced.
To put it another way, even if the throne was handed over to Cao Wei and the descendants of Shu Han, would this chess game carefully laid out by the gods come to an abrupt end?
The answer is obviously no~
Before the outcome of this intricate chess game is decided, no matter how wise and brilliant the superior is, he will inevitably become the target of the gods' bets, and once a large number of destiny is added, he will still fall quickly.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the following hundreds of years, if you have a little fame, I am afraid that countless gods and Buddhas will flock to you to place bets.
Anyone with a little ability is destined to have a short and unpredictable fate, and no one can help him.
Xiao has clearly foreseen all this. If this gamble cannot be ended in advance, then the "Five Barbarians Invading China" will inevitably become an irreversible outcome, and there is no possibility of turning the tide.
Unless there really is a gifted person in the world, who is born with a spiritual body, and can carry the vast spiritual body without any damage.
To put it bluntly, this period is a tragic era created by gods and Buddhas. No matter who ascends the throne, it is futile.
This dark time will last for 365 years, until the magic power - the reversal of yin and yang is completed, and the secret of heaven can be clear again, this shocking gambling game will come to an end.
During this period, as long as there is still a god who is unwilling to judge the situation and stop when he sees the good, and still stubbornly continues to bet, then this intricate chess game will never come to an end.
In such a special era, instead of doing his best to cultivate the Central Plains, it is better to just ignore it and let history move forward as it originally did.
Even if the Hu people attract all the attention of the gods and induce them to bet on the Hu people,
In this way, perhaps the last ray of life and hope can be preserved for this vicissitudes of the Central Plains.
Having made up his mind, Xiao retracted his gaze and stopped watching the final tragedy of Shu Han.
In Xiao's opinion, although it was a pity for the prime minister, even if Cao Wei won the world, it was still better than the Liu family.
The Liu family must not be able to revive the Han Dynasty for the third time, otherwise the caste system would inevitably be permanently rooted in this continent.
The Liu family would become a permanent natural noble family and could never be changed.
