With the passage of time, the war between the Enroth continent and the southern Westmar continent has a local advantage and an overall disadvantage, and now the troops of the southern continent have gradually fought to the border port city of Provence on the Enlos continent.

——————

However, the Stone Patriarchal Council did not care much about this matter, because the Westmar people relied more on supernatural power than Enroth people, and they also knew the value of the legendary transcendentals better, so as long as they ensured that their position was unshakable, for a sufficiently powerful transcendent family, there was essentially no big difference in which side of the government or empire was the ruler.

According to the historical experience gained in the course of the earth's civilization, even during the time when the Germans slaughtered the Jews, they deliberately distinguished between scientists, scholars, skilled workers, and mathematicians, enslaving them to provide value, rather than slaughtering them.

Just like in the 21st century, everyone can see that the US imperialism is getting weaker and weaker, but there are still batches of Huaqing students rushing to the US imperialism, because even if one day the US imperialism is weakened, when these Huaqing students want to come back, because they are talents, the motherland will still raise their hands and feet to welcome, then under the absolutely refined egoistic thinking, of course, where is the best at present, go there!

Anyway, at any time, talent is scarce in any country, as long as it does not break the law and commit crimes, almost no country will refuse the arrival of a large number of highly educated talents, because it means strength.

The same is true of those legendary and extraordinary powerhouses in the Enlos Continent and the Westmar Continent, if they join the military, they will be greatly welcomed, and if they join the enemy military, they will also receive huge preferential treatment, which is the value of the strong themselves.

Especially the Colleton people, they are still from the east, different from the strong and rich race of the main body of the mainland, so even if the southern continent occupies Provence, they will not dare to do anything with the Shi family, not to mention that Shi Yue also sends the young blood of the Shi family to Morales Castle in batches, even if they meet a tough military general, they can't do it all at all.

Due to the special position of the Church of the Seven Gods, I am afraid that even the Pope has not really figured out which side the God Lord is leaning towards, so the Inquisition does not need to pay attention to this matter for the time being, and when Shi Yi completes the strengthening and upgrading of the original strengthened corpse demon and the current Nether Warlord, all the archons of the Church of the Seven Gods are finally selected.

This long process is not all about fighting and fighting, but there are power struggles within some churches, like the Storm and Ocean Sect of the Lord Church of the Storm and the Sea, like the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom Church of Knowledge and Wisdom, like the Wealth and Love Sect of the Goddess of Wealth and Love, in this regard, the internal system of the four sects of the Eternal Light Master, Mother Earth God, God of War, and Goddess of Darkness is still handled cleanly, at least relatively speaking, it can be consistent with the outside world, not like the first three, There is almost a faint hint of the division of the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect.

It was almost a year after the implementation of the "Archon Selection" policy that the eight archons actually met in the Alien Divine Court in Noxa, and yes, the Church of the Seven chose eight archons because the Church of Wealth and the Goddess of Love chose two at the same time.

"It's really a big deal! Actually found a spatial crack to use as a meeting place, this is imitating the pantheon in ancient legends, right? ”

In the legends of the ancient age of magic, the Pantheon, like the "Tomb of the Gods", is not owned by any god and does not have any native race, as long as many gods unite to launch a prayer technique, because the gods represent countless beliefs and thoughts, so the "place of the gods" will also respond to the descent of the Pantheon.

For the purpose of its creation, the Pantheon is the only place of complete neutrality between the planes.

No matter which god is left in this pantheon, there is the divine fire of the origin left, and the power of the connection between the realm and the priesthood is equivalent to a temporary cutoff, but prayer, due to its spiritual and belief characteristics, can be conveyed on the contrary, and will not be cut off, in fact, after this cutoff, there is no superiority or disadvantage between the gods, whether it is a high god or a demigod, at least within this space, it is equal, which contributes to the safety and smoothness of the negotiation.

However, because of the extinction of the cosmic catastrophe in the Ancient Magic Era, the legendary Pantheon may have disappeared long ago, leaving only legends.

Shi Yi walked on the earth-stone wasteland that seemed to float in the universe, and in the center of the wasteland was a golden palace standing on the top of a mountain, and everyone who entered this space would be attracted by it, and naturally wanted to get closer and walk into it.

"You, the dark archon Shi Yi, who is known as the 'strongest archon', right?" When Shi Yixing walked towards the golden palace, he met a beautiful girl wearing extremely gorgeous clothes on the way, her skirt was inlaid with fine and huge gems, but it did not make people feel strange and strange, because her own temperament could be suppressed, so it would only make people feel extravagant.

But after seeing this person, Shi Yi suddenly stopped, and his face showed a solemn look, because in this environment, he would only meet colleagues who were also consuls of the Seven Gods, and among the consuls other than himself, it seemed that only the subordinates of the "Goddess of Wealth and Love" would be dressed like the person in front of him.

"I heard that there are two Archons of Eros this time, where is the other Majesty? I don't think the two of you will be separated, right? ”

"What a cautious man." With the exclamation of the noble girl in mid-air, the phantom behind her folded in half, and another girl walked out, but although this girl looked exactly the same as the noble girl, she was in a light-colored dress that was simple and tight, and she smiled sideways, giving people a sense of innocence and childishness of the girl next door.

"Are you love, are you wealth?" Shi Yi asked the two girls in mid-air, and he took it for granted that the girl in the plain dress represented love, and the girl in the jewel represented wealth.

"No, I represent wealth. I was born beautiful, so I want to change my fate across classes through beauty! The girl in the plain dress was talking with a serious expression.

"I stand for love, because I have never lacked wealth since I was a child, so I have always believed that there is the purest and most beautiful love in this world." The precious girl said this, and at the same time, the girl in the dress beside her, who looked almost identical, had an irrepressible sarcastic smile on her lips.

"Well, I don't really understand your young people's concept of love now, and I don't really want to understand it, in short, if you don't dislike it, let's go to the conference hall together, everyone else should have arrived." Shi Yi was partially liberated and expanded the dragon wings behind him, and the girl in the dress with a pure temperament showed light in her eyes.

"Red Dragon Wings, this dragon power has almost been cultivated to the point of perfection and flawlessness, if you are willing, your pair of dragon wings can almost be auctioned for billions!"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in auctioning off my wings."

Shi Yi originally expected that the battle did not happen, he was teleported into this space, and then soon met the Archon of Eros, the area of this space is not small, Shi Yi never believed in such a coincidence, so he was secretly ready for battle, but until he arrived at the conference hall, the two girls behind him did not make a move, and in the end, Shi Yi could only think that he was thinking too much.

"You're finally here, and we're just waiting for the two of you, it's three of us." On the golden throne of the conference hall, there were already five people seated, Shi Yi's gaze scanned, and Marcus, who was like an old farmer?? Barber looked at each other, their eyes met, and the next moment they staggered, and then Shi Yi and the Archon of Eros sat down separately.

"It's true that it's one o'clock in the evening, but anyway, everyone finally got together, and the church finally decided that the final decision would be made by the eight of us, which is a huge trust, and I hope that this trust will not be disappointed, otherwise I will be very sad to lose a close partner."

Such a domineering person is a handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes at the round table, his eyes flickered, and there was a faint flash of electric light, which was not "eyes like electricity" in the ordinary sense, but a real and true essence of electricity, ordinary transcendents just looked at him, and he would feel the stinging pain and pain of his eyes!

Rins Blair Rom, the adopted son of the Pope of the Lord of the Storm and the Sea, is also the young leader of the Storm Faction, the Storm Faction is domineering in principle, advocating the restoration of the status of the leader of the gods of the wrath of the gods, relying on fear to gain faith, as mentioned earlier, if the economy is developed and the faith is not pure, then even if the population is large, it will still lead to the weakness of the gods.

Disaster, fear, and despair help to stimulate the purity of the faith, and even in the view of many radical theologians, God's favorite people are primitive humans who have not yet attained "wisdom": Adam and Eve, the pure human beings in the Bible before eating the fruit of wisdom.

So, this theological view is not unscrutinized and unreasonable, the only question is, who wants to go back after having wisdom?

Rains Blairrom, Archon of the Storm, Lorraine Elebik, Archon of Light, Robert Cantu, Archon of Homosei, Rafava Hoyland and Jenny Hoyland of Eros, Archon Marcus, Archon of the Earth?? Bobble, Archon of the God of War Lloyd Zieglers, Archon of the Goddess of Darkness Shi Yi Teton.

Among them, the Storm Archon Lins and the God of War Archon Lloyd are both violent and domineering personalities, they obviously want to take the initiative, the Wise God Archon Robert and the Earth Archon Marcus are neutral and wait-and-see, and the Inquisition composed of the Seven Gods Sect must form a force to deal with affairs, otherwise with the current strength of the Seven Gods Church, one after another will attack those ancient gods, even if they can win, it will only be a miserable victory in the end, which is undoubtedly not what the above wants to see, so the Seven Gods joined forces, It is hoped that with the superposition of power, the level of self-damage in the battle to destroy other ancient gods can be reduced.

The truth in this is understood by everyone present, so no matter who wants to be the leader, at least not to be used as a gun by others, and due to the pressure of the Seven Gods Sect behind them, none of the seven of them can get up and leave the table, and the sound of constant quarrels and disputes echoes in the room, and several people take out a task to trick others into supporting themselves, but the interests of the seven camps present are difficult to completely reconcile, so this is a protracted quarrel.

Shi Yi felt that he was in a hurry, then declining, and then exhausted, so he kept his proposal for the time being, and did not announce it as soon as possible to win support, but began to think about an issue in the Earth Age:

The fertility rate has fallen below the warning zone, how to solve the problem of growing old before China gets rich?

In fact, from Shi Yi's point of view, this problem is easy to solve. As long as the country has the will and determination, it is expected that the fertility rate will skyrocket and the national fortunes of China will be prolonged for a hundred years:

Vigorously develop and promote transnational marriage and love, yes, the goal is the holy icon.

Today's Icon is a large country with a population of nearly 1.4 billion, and its economy is far inferior to that of China, the average daily income of the Icon is 10 yuan a day, and at the same time, the Icon is the most abused and oppressed country and region for women.

Therefore, as long as the government implements and implements the corresponding policies, it will not be difficult to siphon the resources of hundreds of millions of young women and men, and at the same time, it will produce huge and amazing economic benefits.

As we all know, there are 30 million male singles in China, and 800,000 older leftover women in Yujing, Huaguo, who have very good economic conditions, and the relationship between supply and demand is very perfect.

From an ethical point of view:

This policy liberated the women of the Sacred Elephant region, so that they were no longer abused and oppressed, and even if there was a moment of racial emotion, incomprehension, and disagreement, their descendants would agree and be grateful to the country. Just as the descendants of black slaves in the United States are grateful to the white slave owners of yesteryear, who would not be grateful when comparing the American imperialism of today with Africa today?

From the perspective of national fortunes:

A large country with a population of 1.4 billion! Even if it has problems of one kind or another, once it has a strong politician or a strong enough development opportunity, does it really have no chance that a young country like Shengxiang will catch up with China in the future?

Not necessarily, at least not absolutely.

Don't think that we are better than others, better than others.

In the early 90s, Haier's boss carried out reforms, and the first rule he set was that workers were not allowed to defecate in the factory...... Isn't this how often we laugh at the Iconoymen? But these problems, as long as you work hard to manage, can be quickly changed.

Therefore, while we are still far stronger than it, and while it has nuclear weapons but long-range missiles have not yet been developed, suppressing it and crushing it is also the interest demand of China.

From the point of view of personal interest:

The divorce rate in China has increased year after year, and more than seventy percent of divorce cases are filed by women, why?

In a marital relationship, as long as the woman does not have children, the sunk cost of the woman is too low. In this era of sexual freedom, there is no real difference between a woman falling in love and getting married, while a man marries ...... Taking Qingdao marriage as an example, the approximate payment amount is about 300,000 to 400,000.

In the first half of 2020, only two cities in the country had median wages of more than 6,000 (Yujing, Shenghai) and Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Guangzhou.

On January 1, 2019, the personal income tax threshold was adjusted from 3,500 to 5,000, so the number of taxpayers plummeted from 180 million to 65 million, that is, the total population of China is 1.4 billion, the working population is 900 million, but less than 1/10 of the people have a salary of more than 5,000.

A young man, after graduating from college, must work immediately, without eating or drinking for 5 years, before he can get married once, but in fact, no one can go without eating, drinking or consuming for 5 years, and it is not easy to give him 10 years to accumulate and complete the expenditure of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.

And these 5 to 10 years of hard work may be wiped out in a marriage that lasts for a very short time.

The original purpose of marriage was to ensure the safety of personal property, but now marriage can no longer achieve this purpose, which is the underlying logic of young people's increasing reluctance to get married.

But what if both the man and the woman can buy a partner in the icon? Is it more reliable and stable than free love?

I believe that as long as the legal system keeps up, the answer should be yes.

In the future, as industry continues to move to the Holy Elephant, to South Vietnam, and even to other poorer countries, China is likely to fall into the dilemma of "growing old before getting rich, and having no successor" in the future.

If we can selectively introduce a large number of young people with icons, I think these two terrible problems can be solved at the root.

………………

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

A palm on his shoulder fell, recalling Shi Yi from his wandering state, Shi Yi looked sideways, but it was Marcus, who had secretly made an alliance with him?? Bobble, although both of them are consciously not so familiar, but if they are too deliberately avoided, it is actually easy to arouse suspicion.

In the conference room, there were only six people left of the original eight people, Storm Archon Lins and God of War Archon Lloyd, who were fighting very well outside at this moment, and the golden palace of this conference room could be transparent, so even if they didn't go out, they could see the battle situation.

"I'm thinking about something, and I used to like to think about things."

"Lins advocates that the first mission of the Inquisition, to rid up a powerful deep sea monster, and Lloyd's proposal to clear out a stronghold of evil gods, are not easy targets to deal with, and the benefits are not enough for us, so they have not been determined yet. Which of the two of them do you think will win? ”

"It doesn't matter who wins, we are already consuls, and after reaching this position, personal force is no longer the only way to solve the problem, and if seven people are in power, then vote for it, because it is seven people who can definitely elect a result." Shi Yi spread his hands and said so.

"We want two votes, we're two!"

"Do you think we're going to say yes?" At this time, Radifa and Jenny jumped out, but they were quickly suppressed by the others present.

Although his own strength should be relatively advantageous among the seven, Shi Yi also knows that if he also chooses to fight for authority by force, I am afraid that except for the Earth Archon Marcus?? Except for Barber's neutrality, everyone else will unite against him, after all, his reputation is too high. Too much prestige and too much fame is sometimes not a good thing, especially in the context of such a series of disputes.

Therefore, Shi Yi chose the voting method that was most acceptable to everyone present, so that due to the advantage of personal combat power, others would choose to win over themselves more than to exclude themselves.

At this time period, Lins and Lloyd have also finished fighting, this alien space, suppressing the power and skills of the transcendental, so even if both of them slammed into the dead, in fact, the damage was not serious, and at this moment they returned together, and saw that the other people in the conference room had a faint tacit understanding, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"You don't have to worry, the way we negotiated is to vote, the seven archons are one vote, the two Archons of Eros are counted as one, each of them explains the plan he has brought, and if in the end everyone cannot convince each other, then each person has one vote, and chooses the plan that he thinks is appropriate, and in addition, he is not allowed to choose his own plan." The archon of the god of wisdom was a beautiful man with monocles and a feminine appearance.

The method of voting is relatively advantageous to him, although even the Archon of the Wisdom God does not mean that he has reached the level of being more intelligent and close to the demon, and he uses the same magic side ability when fighting, but it is certain that his mind is relatively more flexible than everyone else. However, everyone knows this, so psychologically, he will be deducted in advance.

Due to the rules, no one could leave the space until the meeting was finished, so it was useless for Lins to be furious, and in the end, he had to take a deep breath and explain his proposal to the others, hoping to gain support.

But in fact, the proposal of these two people who just rushed out of the duel was directly eliminated, whether it was to crusade against the sea monster or destroy the evil god's stronghold, these two proposals were too self-interested, the two of them originally intended to gain dominance with combat power, Lins was outstanding in combat power, and Lloyd believed in this, but now that it has been changed to voting, there is no possibility that their proposal will pass at all.

If it was outside the conference room, they could still use it, but in the conference room, all the extraordinary powers were suppressed to a very exaggerated degree, but the non-combat extraordinary powers could be used.

One by one, the proposals of the seven archons are elaborated, crusading against sea monsters, destroying strongholds of evil gods, exploring ancient temples, and assassinating church traitors, each of which has the potential to have a huge impact that can lead to the death of many people and the social unrest of the country.
