Chapter 4: The Secret Conversation in the Great Hall
Do you want to go back to the Genting Heavenly Palace?" General Yun Yan carefully tucked the small wooden box containing the Huayang Bead in his sleeve.
Su Mengling nodded and replied: "That's right, I can't hide here alone, quietly waiting for them to perish, I want to push them into the abyss with my own hands, an abyss that can never be overturned." β
The corners of Yun Yan's mouth rose imperceptibly, then nodded, and said to Su Mengling with a smile: "Miss Su has made great contributions to winning the Huayang Pearl for the secret love, and now she has taken the initiative to ask for an undercover Cloud Palace, which really makes me admire! I, Yun Yan, would like to express my gratitude to the girl on behalf of the Emperor! If we get the help of the girl, then the plan of rebirth of nothingness can be realized earlier." The girl's merit is immeasurable!"
"Nothingness is reborn, what is this?" asked Su Mengling suspiciously.
Yun Yan smiled, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said, "It seems that Miss Su doesn't know much about the ultimate mystery of our secret affairs, Yin Tianqiu, you can explain it to her!"
Yin Tian got up, clenched his fists and said, "Order!" and then came to Su Mengling.
"Miss Su, let me ask you, do you see the people of Dawn suffering from them?"
Su Mengling thought for a while, nodded and replied: "Ordinary people naturally live in hardship, every time they keep working, they don't dare to slack off for a moment, but in the end, most of the harvest will be handed over to the government." Even if a family like ours is well-off, it is inevitable that a large amount of taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be levied. β
"And what did your government do with these taxes?"
"A small part of it is used to build bridges and pave roads, and most of them should be used as military funds to consolidate national defense! The seven immortal clans not only have to resist the attacks of the Manchus and alien beasts from the marginal areas, but also have to guard against each other's sudden attacks from neighboring countries, robbing their own resources and population. β
Yin Tianqiu nodded and continued: "In a small void, countless battles broke out for survival and resources, and countless lives were lost because of this. What's more, in this boundless nothingness, there are many more frequent and tragic wars between so many races in order to take advantage of them. β
"So there are so many resources, if you use a little more, I can only use a little less, and if I don't try my best to grab it, will I wait to die?" Su Mengling said disdainfully.
Yin Tianqiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Girl, you are wrong, is there no other way than to fight and rob in order to survive?"
"Other way?" Su Mengling tilted his head sideways and thought for a while, but he didn't get anything, and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
"Why can't a powerful organization lead all the races in the entire void, according to certain rules, uniformly distribute the resources for survival? In this way, everyone does not have to fight to grab a little bit of resources, and can use precious survival materials in a planned and measured manner. Isn't it good to live in such a big world of peace and harmony?"
After hearing this, Su Mengling opened her mouth in surprise, shook her head in disbelief and said: "Who said such a strange idea? This is simply a childlike naΓ―ve idea! Who can guarantee that the rules of resource allocation can be fair and equitable? Who can guarantee that this rule can be implemented flawlessly?"
Yin Tianqiu immediately stopped Su Mengling's words and reminded her in a low voice: "Girl, these views are all put forward by the Supreme Emperor, please pay attention to the words! β
Su Mengling covered her mouth and nodded desperately.
General Yun Yan, who listened to Xu on the high platform, suddenly opened his mouth: "Nowadays, there are only two mainstream concepts of governing the world in this nothingness, one is the benevolent governance of the country advocated by Xuanhuang, advocating harmony and friendliness, and distributing resources with courtesy. The second is what our emperor advocates, concentrating resources and surviving the world with military merit and strength. These two concepts are incompatible, and they have been fighting since the existence of the dark Xuanhuang until now. But do you know that form is better now?"
Su Mengling opened her mouth, but she couldn't say the words when she came to her mouth, so she had to shake her head.
"Naturally, the Emperor's proposition is even better! Look at the Xuanhuang Void that has become a galaxy, to the current chaotic Yuanxiang Void, before the arrival of the Dark Warriors, they themselves were already weakened by infighting. Just like the embankment full of ants, it still looks like a rainbow on the surface, but it only takes the strength of one finger to knock down the embankment, and we are the finger that knocked down the embankment. β
"I want to ask, what will happen to those poor people in the mode you are talking about?" Su Mengling suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Only those who don't work hard will become poor, as long as they are willing to go to the battlefield to fight and win military merits, how can they become poor?" replied Yin Tianqiu.
"You haven't answered my question yet, what will happen to the poor?" Su Mengling insisted on asking her own question.
"If the poor you speak of are the kind of people who have nothing and have not eaten the next meal, then we will be banished to the edge of the void and still die for themselves. Why should people who don't even have military merits live in this world!"
"And what about the old men?"
"Usually, after we retire, we will receive a large reward according to our military merits, and this money is enough for us to provide for our old age. If they are too old to move, their children will send them to a nursing home for centralized destruction. β
"What? Centralized destruction!" Su Mengling was frightened.
"They are all so old, they can't bring any benefits to the empire and waste resources, why do they still want to live?" Yin Tianqiu replied disappretently.
"But, but you will all be old, are you willing to be destroyed centrally when the time comes?" Su Mengling asked with wide eyes in horror.
"Yes, what's not to want to. But then I won't go to the centralized destruction place, I can understand myself for myself, and I don't need to trouble others. Boss Yin showed that kind of pride from a warrior.
"A bunch of crazy people!" Su Mengling said, shaking his head.
General Yun Yan spoke out to make a round: "Okay! I told you so much, I don't want you to join us, I just want you to know that you are doing a very great thing. Maybe you can't figure it out for a while, it's nothing, sooner or later you'll understand. β
Su Mengling didn't answer his words, and said to himself: "I just want to go back for revenge, as for what world and what avenue you said, I can't control that as a woman!" The general only needs to tell me when I can go back and what to do after I go back." β
Unable to convince Su Mengling to join them, Yun Yan was a little regretful, but after thinking about it, as long as he could achieve the goal of destroying the Cloud Palace, it would be fine.
So, Yun Yan replied with a smile: "The girl can leave for the Cloud Palace whenever she wants, and I will send two masters to escort you back when the time comes." However, before the girl returns to the Cloud Palace, there are still some things that need to be explained to you. β
Su Mengling bowed and said, "Please also ask the general to give orders." β
Yun Yan stood up, paced on the high platform and said, "Girl, when you go back this time, the first task to complete is to obtain the seven sacred relics of the Immortal Clan. Before, the warriors and cultists of the dark world had gone through hardships and hardships, and finally collected four of them, but the army of the Cloud Palace had snatched the artifacts back as soon as they came. According to our spies, these seven artifacts were brought back to the Cloud Palace by the person named Yu Changsheng. So, your mission is to capture these seven artifacts, which are the key to unlocking the Desolation Peak!"
Su Mengling silently recited it in his heart, then nodded and replied, "Mengling has written it down!"
Yun Yan nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Second, according to the news obtained before the light curtain was opened, the Polar Night Long History, oh, it is the expeditionary fleet led by the Lanling Fairy in your mouth, which will soon arrive here. But now that the light curtain is on, the fleet can't tear through the void here. So your mission is to find a way to get the expeditionary fleet to the Metaverse Void safely in the Cloud Palace. β
"But if I can't do one thing, and I can't cultivate the other, how can I complete these tasks?" asked Su Mengling a little anxiously.
General Yun Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "Girl, don't panic, I naturally know that these things are easy to say, but it is difficult to really do them. So I have prepared a magic weapon for you to transmit sound for thousands of miles, and you can bring it into the Cloud Palace in the secret place you hid on, and you can contact us at any time if you have any situation. β
After Yun Yan finished speaking, he handed Su Mengling a golden bell, Su Mengling took it, put it next to his ear and shook it, hearing it make a dingling sound.
"Put it in a secret place and bring it into the Cloud Palace!" Su Mengling repeated this sentence, thought for a moment, and blushed.
"You can ask the Yin family brothers later, I will teach you another trick here, and I may be able to save your life at a critical moment. β
"Oh, what Chitzer?"
Yun Yan put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "When this Polar Night Long History was attached here before, he told me a secret. When she was in the Cloud Palace, in order to control the dynamics of the Cloud Palace, she installed a lot of Horcruxes in the Genting Heavenly Palace, and as long as she cast a chant, she could activate these hidden Horcruxes. These horcruxes may be a magic artifact, a tree, or a fish. Once the Horcruxes are triggered, they can be controlled and used to help you with those tasks. I'm going to teach you the recipe now. β
Yun Yan stretched out his hand and threw it, and a white wax pill was thrown at Su Mengling, Su Mengling reached out and took it, broke the white wax pill, and saw that there was a note inside, with a line of words written on it: Heart all things, never forget!
Su Mengling read silently on the note, then raised his head and asked, "Now that the recipe is available, but where are the Horcruxes and what are they?"
Yun Yan shook his head and said apologetically, "Changshi only gave the Nian Jue, and did not tell the Horcrux about it. It's up to you to figure it out and find it yourself. β
