Kunlun Arc [2]
Long Taicang, on the surface, is a generation higher than the Witch Emperor. However, as mentioned earlier, the longevity of the Wu clan is extremely long, and the siblings may also be more than a hundred years apart.
Therefore, the Witch Emperor and Long Taicang were the same age, and they were also the two most amazing teenagers of that era.
However, unlike the Witch Emperor's slaughter all the way back then, Long Taicang has always been very forbearing, never coming out, and not even joining the official or military of the Great Witch Dynasty.
He only operates in his own tribe of four elephants, and is only responsible for protecting his own people.
Therefore, in that era, the young Witch Emperor was like the sun and moon in the sky, but Long Taicang was just silently willing to be a foil. No matter how big and bright the stars are, they are not as bright as the sun and the moon.
The Witch Emperor sighed, "Actually, a year before I advanced, I met your grandfather in private, and I fought each other. At that time, I realized that the strength of the two of us had been growing simultaneously, and I had never been able to distance him. ”
"You know, in those decades, I have been protected by the emperor, and I should have received more resources than the Taicang Heavenly Witch. Therefore, if the Taicang Heavenly Witch had not lived in seclusion, it is difficult to say who I or he would have ended up sitting in today's position. ”
"Of course, if he is exposed early, even more than me, he will have to take over this burden, and he can't help it. Otherwise, the emperor will have no choice but to kill him and clear the way for me. ”
"Boy, in order not to be this Witch Emperor, your grandfather endured it for decades, and it was only when I inherited the position of the Witch Emperor that he burst out with terrifying strength far beyond all the top-grade Heavenly Witches. Even if it was the original Taijia, it was slightly inferior to him. ”
Perhaps, Long Taicang still doesn't want his only grandson to be a witch emperor, hard work and hard work. Therefore, he has not let Long Yin go out of the tribe and participate in some witch wars at most. Because, only Long Taicang knows best how amazing his grandson's qualifications are, even no less than him and the Witch Emperor back then.
But as soon as Long Taicang died, these arrangements changed completely.
From the moment Long Yin defeated Shao Hao and drew with Taiwu, he had already competed for the attention of the world. From then on, it was no longer possible for people to focus on Taiwu or Xin Yao.
As for now, naturally not to mention. At a young age, he can kill the nine-star demon lord, and if he is not a soldier, he will become the first hero to kill the 100,000 demon army, and he will fight with the true dragon, and he has the qualifications of a war beast comparable to the real dragon...... The spread of such a thing made the world even more convinced that Long Yin was the next generation of Witch Emperors!
Since this is the case, the Witch Emperor can no longer look at it with an attitude of "investigation", but instead go all out to cultivate, so that Long Yin can establish a stronger prestige as soon as possible and impress the people of the world.
"Maybe from the moment you walked out of the Four Elephants Tribe, your fate was sealed." The Witch Emperor said with some sternness, "I know, maybe you are still a little swaying. But I want to make it clear to you that if you really don't become this witch emperor, I can only ...... When the time comes, I will announce that you have died in battle. Only by doing this early can the world retreat to the next best thing and regain the recognition of Taiwu or Xin Yao. ”
Don't expect to live in seclusion and hide from the world. Because once the Witch Emperor announces that Long Yin is dead, if this guy is accidentally discovered decades later, then the Witch Emperor will be discredited!
The belief of all the people in the world in the generations of Witch Emperors is based on the recognition of the personality of the Witch Emperor. If the Witch Emperor lies and deceives the world, then how can his designated heir serve the people?
And at that time, once it was discovered that Long Yin was still alive, wouldn't people's trust in Xin Yao or Taiwu collapse in an instant?
Death, you must really die, in order to remove the hidden danger of a qiē.
This is a major matter related to the life and death of the entire Wu clan, and no one can be arbitrary or merciful, not even the Wu Emperor.
Therefore, there are only two paths in front of Long Yin - either he is ready to take over the throne of the Witch Emperor, or he hangs up now.
"Don't scare me......" Long Yin frowned a little and sweated.
The Witch Emperor said sternly, "Do you think I'm joking? Will I joke with the fate of the Wu clan and the inheritance of thousands of years? ”
Without waiting for Long Yin to say anything, the Witch Emperor said with some concern: "In addition, there is one more thing I have to tell you." This may make your pressure heavier now than I was back then. ”
Long Yin shuddered: "Sure enough, the more you listen, the more it's not a good thing." ”
The problem that can make the Wu Emperor feel strict is definitely not a small problem.
The Witch Emperor nodded and said, "Now, it is becoming more and more difficult to inherit the will of the people. It's okay to sit on the throne of the Witch Emperor, but as the inheritor, it is even more difficult to gather these will powers, and one generation is not as good as the next. ”
Long Yin was a little stunned: "Why." ”
The Witch Emperor seemed to be a little distressed, and said, "Look at what it looks like today! ”
"The world has been peaceful for a long time, and the high-level Wu clan has cultivated enough arrogance and lasciviousness, and is addicted to wine and wealth, can my Wu people not be disappointed?"
"Once the people's hearts are disappointed, it is too difficult to convince them of something."
"In ancient times, the belief of tens of millions of Wu people could be condensed, but now?"
"The extremes of things must be reversed, and the extremes will flourish and decline...... You look at the world full of flowers, but you don't know that the gold and jade are ruined outside. Generations of Witch Emperors have been working to reverse this phenomenon, but ...... It's hard to return. It is easy to change from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to change this qiē. ”
Long Yin listened a little depressed.
Yes, what the Witch Emperor said is the truth, and many things are really sad to watch. However, nothing can be done. This may be the law of historical evolution, and the cycle has not stopped.
The Witch Emperor continued: "On the contrary, the gap between the top and the people is getting bigger and bigger. Those wealthy families at the top of the Wu clan have countless resources, which can easily make young children grow up at a high speed. On the contrary, young talents from thousands of tribes in the folk do not have such a foundation and such resources, so how easy is it to catch up with those families? ”
"Therefore, I value various academic palaces like Zhou Tianxing Palace, and I hope that they can open a channel so that the children of the people can also have the opportunity to emerge. As Taiwu does, I am very pleased to see this kind of talented young man emerge. ”
"It's just a pity that the current school palaces are also rotting, gradually rotting...... Moreover, among the various academic palaces, the gap between class origins is becoming more and more obvious, which is unconvincing. ”
"However, I can only choose among the family and the academy. Because the starting point of ordinary folk tribal teenagers is too low, the gap between teenagers below the same age and those from the upper class is too big. It's not that those children don't work hard, it's that they are born with too many resources. ”
"As a result, even my nomination of a candidate for the successor will not be completely convincing to the world. So, in today's world when the will of the people is gradually dissipating, if the successor himself is no longer convincing, how will he inherit the throne of the Witch Emperor in the future? ”
Today, the Witch Emperor is open and honest in explaining a qiē, so it seems to be more talkative. But this is related to the luck and inheritance of the entire Wu clan, and he has to explain this matter to his heirs.
In the main hall, the atmosphere was a little heavy and oppressive.
