The underworld was full of yin qi and dead energy, and it was inconvenient for the two monks to stay longer, and they returned to the world soon after viewing the underworld. However, the trip to the underworld inspired the two of them a lot, and in addition to establishing a system of good deeds for the immortal path, they also specially created a Taoist technique of "iQue Yin and Yang".

Two days later, the first residents of the ghost town woke up.

These inhabitants are all a relatively powerful group of existences in the Xia Kingdom. For example, the witch aunts of the previous generation and the witch mins of the previous generation, these witch leaders in the spirit palace are already good at spiritual power. Their souls were nourished by the Nine Yin Qi and revived, one by one.

In addition, it is the ancestors of the major families. The ancestors multiplied in Jiugong City, and although they were trapped in the difficulty of giving birth, there were also some lucky ones who gave birth to a huge family. If the population is large, there will be more incense to the ancestors, and it will be more able to sacrifice the ancestors as ancestral spirits and protect the continuation of the family.

In the ghost city, Ji Le sat on top of the main hall and looked at the more than thirty Yin God ancestors in front of him.

"Are these people the only ones who have saved up for a hundred years of the ancestors?" Ji Le was disappointed, but he still had a consistent smile on his face, and said to everyone with the majesty of the national spirit: "The main hall has evolved into the underworld and built a ghost city, and the prosperity of this city in the future will depend on the kings." ”

Scanning everyone, he said to the two ladies standing in the center: "Now that the Yang clan of Xia Kingdom has no male ancestors, there are two Laos. ”

On the left, the frost-white plain-robed woman shook her head and said: "I have no heirs, the Yang family is the bloodline left by my sister, and all sacrifices and blessings are handed over to my sister." ”

The woman on the right looked a little old, and after hearing this, she said with a panicked face: "My sister is a husband and concubine, and her status is noble, how dare my sister be good at it?"

These two ladies are the two widows of Yang Ke's grandfather.

Mrs. Zheng on the left is Yang Ke's grandfather's original match, and all the heirs are used for sacrifice. After learning the truth, Mrs. Zheng turned white overnight and died of depression. The woman on the right is Yang Ke's own grandmother. Because "the mother is more precious than the son", ten years after the death of Mrs. Di, she was included in the main room.

One before and one after, one older and one young, what is the status, just look at these ancestors Yin God is more supportive of Mrs. Zheng.

Ji Le laughed and said: "The souls of the ancestors have fallen into the nine shadows, and you are the second generation of the elders in the underworld. The two of you are the wives of Duke Yang, the ancestors of the royal family, and you have your own heavy responsibilities. The development of this ghost town is inseparable from you. ”

He didn't bother to worry about the entanglements between these women. Subsequently, he said to several witches in the Spirit Palace: "Your spirit gods are powerful, and then this hall gave an edict, and all of them turned into the gods of the underworld, responsible for running the order of the underworld." ”

"Yes. "These witches are good at talking, and after realizing the nobility of Ji Le's own divinity, they bow to the order one by one.

After everything was arranged, Ji Le returned to the Yongle Palace.

At this moment, a divinity rose from the earth.

Another one!

Ji Le detached his soul from the underworld and looked in the direction of the kingdom of Bado.

Compared to the condensed civilization divinity of Finitya, the divine brilliance of Tiejilei is too weak.

That's right, he also relied on the power of his kingdom to condense his own civilization divinity. It's just that compared with the divinity of the other four civilizations, the gap is a bit big.

This is something that even Tiejire himself understands.

Look at Tumu, the glorious sacred tree turned into a pillar of heaven, connecting heaven and earth.

Look at the Xia Kingdom, the red divine tree rose with a brilliant flame, and the height was not inferior to Tumu.

Looking at Rome and Toya again, the two huge sacred trees of civilization are shrouded in divine brilliance, and the five-colored brilliance and silver-white brilliance are inserted into the clouds, and there are also corresponding visions.

But what about yourself—

Tiejire's divinity can't even truly sublimate his own bronze tree! his divine brilliance only covers half of the bronze tree.

"Why! Why can't I?"

In the Bado Kingdom, Tiejilei was furious and said, "Why can't my divinity be the same as a few of them!"

Below, several priests knelt in the temple, trembling and silent.

The king sat aside and looked at these priests with a cold gaze: "Say, what the hell is going on? Why is there a problem with the divinity of His Royal Highness the National Spirit?"

It's too weak!

It is also the divinity of civilization, why is it so great? You must know that the force of the Bado Kingdom can still defeat those two foreign civilizations at present, and even the force is stronger than that of Duoya!

"This ......"

Several of the priests were sweating profusely, and they didn't know either.

The spirit of the Bardo nation successfully condensed the divinity, and there was no difficulty at all in the process. However, the divinity he condensed could almost be said to be the weakest among the great kingdoms.

Why is this happening?

Not to mention the interior of the Bado Kingdom, several other national spirits are also curious?

The four national spirits who condensed the divinity sensed this weak divinity from afar. Even Tumu perceived the intimacy of this divinity with him, as if it had been separated from him.

In addition to the surprise, Phinidea secretly rejoiced: "Therefore, martial arts can never compare to the power of magic!"

The Bado Kingdom did not study much magic, and the priests relied on the magic given by the gods and did not have their own magic system. In the process of helping the spirit of the Bardo Kingdom to study the "divinity of civilization", the technology and concept are obviously not as good as those of the Boya Kingdom.

"Let you not develop civilization, and think about war all day long. A bunch of guys with muscular heads, look, the glory of the god of war can't bless you!"

Romu's thoughts were similar to those of Finitya: "A country that worships war and fire, how strong can you expect your civilization to be?"

Among the five great powers, the kingdom of Bado is very strong in combat. But they are far from being in other civilized industries.

For example, the kingdom of Bado did not know much art at all, and did not really develop its own techniques such as painting, sculpture, music, etc. Another example is medical treatment, the Bado Kingdom relies on the priests and uses the power of the gods to heal the wounded. There are also farming, pottery and other industries, they have not developed much, not to mention schools and education.

The kingdom of Bado focuses on personal bravery, and the largest industry in the country is the forging industry, and the weapons they forge are more biased towards the military industry than the people's livelihood.

In all these aspects, the skill tree of the Bado Kingdom is crooked, and it cannot be compared with other civilizations.

But more importantly –

"Secondary civilizations?"

Ji Le looked at the secret connection between Bado and Tumu, and suddenly realized: "Poor guy, this may be the tragedy of the secondary civilization, right?"

The kingdom of Bardo still has no writing of its own!

They used the script of the Tum dynasty, they used the language of the Tum dynasty. The entire civilization is also only a branch of the radiation of the Tumu civilization circle.

Tumu Guoling: "That's why Tiejilei's divinity is so weak. And I ......" He could feel that as the divinity of the spirit of the Bardo Kingdom condensed, his own power grew further.

"The divinity condensed by our national spirit is the spark of wisdom condensed by a civilization and an era. Every true civilization divinity is the crystallization and sublimation of an independent civilization system. And the core of the local civilization circle is in me, and the growth of Tiejilei has made me who I am. ”

In a sense, the relationship between the primary civilization and the secondary civilization is that of the divine lord and the divine. Unless the secondary civilization can annex the main civilization and gain the dominant position in this civilization circle, it must honestly work for others.

"Emperor—no wonder I never felt how the Emperor's path was progressing. It turns out that in addition to developing the country's own strength, supporting secondary civilization is also a very important part?"

A large empire must have a strong civilization. It has a far-reaching impact on the surrounding city-states.

Tumu's eyes lit up: there was no kingdom more powerful than himself among the kingdoms of the earth. In the past 800 years, its own civilization has been introduced to the surrounding countries, and there are countless secondary civilizations like Tiejilei.

"If you help them condense their divinity, maybe ......"

"Civilization Circle!" Ji Le retracted his soul. Sitting in the Yongle Palace, he was also thinking quietly.

"The secondary civilization still has this kind of limitation? In the case of the existence of the divinity of the main civilization, the divinity of the secondary civilization cannot be strengthened?

Although I am very sympathetic to Tigillet's plight, it is a good thing for us who are the main civilizations. It's just that in this way, Tumu has a greater advantage. ”

Tumu, the dynasty called "Da Mu" by the Xia Kingdom, is the core of the local civilization. Except for the Toya Kingdom, which relied on the legacy of Mother Earth worship and went out of another way, the indigenous civilization of the entire continent was almost inseparable from the influence of the Tumu Dynasty.

In comparison, Rome and Zhuxia, as foreign civilizations, had too weak influence on their civilization. With only a slight influence on a few city-states in the vicinity of their own country, how could there be a Toumu dynasty that had almost anything to do with the vast majority of indigenous city-states?

Ji Le can already foresee that the struggle between the great empires in the future will inevitably use civilization as soft power, influencing and infiltrating each other. Then rely on combat power to seek benefits for their own empire.

But Tumu's advantage is too strong, and almost the entire land is under the radiation of his civilization.

Thinking of this, Ji Le suddenly wanted Mother Earth to go to the earth to pull more people. Especially those civilizations that radiated from the ancient Chinese cultural circle.

"If they give birth to national spirits in this world, I'm afraid it will naturally give me a few more gods, right?"

In that way, you can also settle the grievances of your homeland......

"Forget it. After thinking about it, Ji Le extinguished this idea himself: "What's the point of settling the grievances of the homeland here? It's better to try to take the clansmen back, and then settle the grievances with your own hands." ”

"Besides, wouldn't it disgust me to bring those civilizations from the East Asian cultural sphere over? ”

That's right, in order to resist the strength of the Tumu Dynasty, Ji Le can only take out a certain system that has been swept into history.

If the vassal system is not done well, it will not be able to fall out of the tail and affect the centralization of power. But at this time, in order to fight against the strong local civilization circle, Ji Le must cultivate his own national spirit force and form his own Zhuxia civilization circle.

"If necessary, we can let Zhao Gao go to the surrounding area to dump our words, our language, and sell paper and pen by the way. ”

For example, Tianzhou City is very good, and I have begun to learn calligraphy, which is a good sign.

Tiejilei condenses divinity, and the national spirits of the five kingdoms in the world all condense their own civilization divinity, truly creating the hegemony of the kingdom.

As for Karp, as the land of the underworld, his citizens are the souls of the last generation of human beings. The crude civilization of the previous generation of human beings was not enough for him to condense the true civilization divinity.

However, the future direction of the Karp National Spirit is Hades, and he doesn't care about the so-called civilized divinity. Moreover, he will not fight with the five major powers.
