Chapter 43: Planning for the Future
Chu Nangong nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Great goodness, the lord has the world in his heart, so he naturally wants to start from the world." There are two strategies for the old man, which can solve the doubts in the lord's heart. ”
When Zhang Shang heard this, he couldn't help but sit upright, waiting for Chu Nangong's explanation.
"The first strategy: the dragon flies for nine days and dominates the world. With the current strength of the lord, it is as easy to dominate the world as it is to look at the pattern in the palm of his hand. After the unification of the world, how to plan for the future is naturally not difficult for the lord. However, this plan seems to be the best, but it is actually the most dangerous and unpredictable. Unless the lord is able to manipulate everything, premature exposure is not necessarily a good thing. ”
Zhang Shang frowned and fell silent.
Now that he has more than one million faith points, he can exchange for dozens of supernatural powerhouses who obey his orders, or exchange for more than a hundred half-step supernatural powerhouses who obey his orders. With such power, it is really easy to sweep the world.
However, as Chu Nangong said, this will expose him early.
And ordinary creatures who are exchanged will not obey him.
Zhang Shang didn't think about controlling all the living beings, after all, he needs manpower for his own development now, and he can exchange his subordinates at double the cost, but if he exchanges a world in the future, there are hundreds of millions of living beings, and he can't control all the living beings at double the cost, right?
This will inevitably slow down the main task of the world's advancement, and if the world can't advance, Zhang Shang himself will also be trapped in this world.
In the early days, there were only a few creatures that could exchange for ordinary things, but in the future, if you need to exchange for worlds and worlds, it will always be a trouble.
Of course, although there are still some problems with this plan, as Chu Nangong said, this is also one of the best ways.
Zhang Shang was silent for a moment, and continued calmly: "I don't know what Chu Nangong's other strategy is? ”
Chu Nangong's expression was indifferent, as if he had already guessed Zhang Shang's choice, and continued: "The second strategy: cloth the world, manipulate all beings. Accumulate grain and slowly become king. The lord guides the general trend of the world with his incarnation, and his real body hides behind the scenes to manipulate everything and accumulate power.
This plan is moderate in the early stage, but it is better to be stable, and everything is under the control of the lord. However, it is not easy to manipulate sentient beings in the world. ”
Zhang Shang's eyes moved slightly, but he felt that the second strategy was quite interesting, which coincided with his previous plan.
He became interested and said, "Please ask Chu Nangong for advice." ”
Chu Nangong waved his sleeves lightly, and a lifelike two-eared three-legged bronze tripod suddenly appeared on the round table. The bronze tripod ruler is very high, the texture is simple and atmospheric, and the tripod wall is engraved with the exquisite carving of the golden black soaring around. Zhang Shang stretched out his hand and touched the wall lightly, and even felt the cold metal touch.
Could it be that this is the power of supernatural powers?
Zhang Shang was surprised in his heart, a little more excited and curious. Chu Nangong was the first master of the Divine Power Realm that he exchanged, and he was also the first Divine Power powerhouse he had ever seen. For the magic power that is close to the Tao and is no different from the legendary spell, how can Zhang Shang not be curious.
"Have you ever wondered what you are all about?" Chu Nangong didn't say it directly, but asked rhetorically.
Zhang Shang's face was full of contemplation, and he did not speak immediately.
What is the essence of himself, he really hasn't considered it before. If it weren't for Chu Nangong to mention it, Zhang Shang didn't know when he would start thinking about this problem.
system, apparently not exactly. Even if you don't have a system, you can live happily in this world. The only difference may be that you can't turn your hands into clouds and your hands into rain as you do now. And if it is based on the system, what is its own foundation?
Faith Points!
Everything that is obtained from the system is inseparable from the existence of faith points. And the point of belief has the idea of coming from all beings in the world!
"My root is all living beings in the world, all beings with self-consciousness. It is their insignificant power that has made us who we are today. Zhang Shang pondered for a moment and said seriously.
Chu Nangong nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Great goodness, if the lord can understand his own roots, then the future has already been revealed." No matter what the lord wants to do in the future, or what he wants to get, he must take into account the impact on all beings in the world.
If all living beings are prosperous, the lord will benefit immensely; When all living beings are destroyed, everything will be difficult for the lord.
As the saying goes, the Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. One is the origin of all things, the chaos that evolves everything. The second is the beginning of strife, which is the inevitability of war. Three is a very mysterious number, and the tripod has three legs to stand firm. Above the court, there are loyal ministers, traitorous ministers, and clear streams, which can better reflect the majesty of the emperor. ”
Zhang Shang's eyes flickered, and he faintly understood the meaning of Chu Nan's words.
The cloth world controls all living beings, although it does not need to be like dominating the world, and control all the forces in their hands early. But as an emperor, you must achieve a certain balance, so that you can better control the empire and control the overall situation of the world. Only by balancing can the world be stable and make all forces dare not act rashly because of concerns.
One party is dominant, which is not conducive to hiding behind the scenes and controlling the world. If the two sides are opposed, the war will continue endlessly, and the war will inevitably be quelled until one side is completely destroyed. In this way, the people in the world will inevitably be miserable, and the living souls don't know how many points are left. When that time comes, the loss will inevitably be one's own interests.
Only by standing on three legs and making all the forces in the world have concerns, it will be easier to manipulate the situation in the world.
Just as there is a partisan dispute in the court, only then can the majesty of the emperor and overlord be reflected. The same is true for manipulating the situation behind the scenes, and only by having disputes between the three can they reflect their authority, and they cannot disobey their authority!
And there is no strife, where there is a topic.
There can't be a topic, who will remember the Zixiao Ancestor who lies high in the Nine Heavens?
Of course, the three here are not the three forces, the most important thing is a way of balance.
"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Thank you Chu Nangong for your guidance, otherwise I don't know when I will realize this. Zhang Shang stood up, straightened his clothes with a solemn expression, and then bowed respectfully.
Although Chu Nangong was originally his subordinate, it was his duty to give advice. But for these capable and wise subordinates, Zhang Shang never hesitated with his appreciation and respect.
"The old man will only talk about some big truths, and he can't afford to be a great gift from the lord. If the lord wants to ask about other things, he still needs His Excellency the moon god to solve the lord's doubts. The old decay is lacking today, so I will not disturb the lord and the moon god to discuss the matter. Chu Nangong was still sitting upright like a mountain just now, but in the blink of an eye, he had already appeared outside the pavilion.
His steps trembled, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this old man who seemed to be on the verge of death would have such a shocking cultivation, and his every move was like an instantaneous movement. Chu Nangong smiled and stroked his beard away, not giving Zhang Shang a chance to speak with the moon god at all.
Zhang Shang was stunned for a moment, looked at Chu Nangong's distant figure, and couldn't help but shake his head funny.
Chu Nangong's thoughts, even he can see through them. It's nothing more than not wanting to take all the credit alone and give the moon god a chance to perform. People say that people are old and good, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Zhang Shang was amused in his heart, but he didn't care about Chu Nangong's small plans, and he was also not worried about his safety. He turned to look at the moon god and arched his hand: "In this way, I will have to trouble His Excellency the moon god in the future." ”
"It is the honor of the moon god to be able to serve the adults." The moon god stood up and bowed slightly. Her cherry-red lips opened softly, and her voice was like a yellow oriole whispering.
"If it's not early today, I need to sort out my thoughts. This is the case for the time being, and tomorrow Bairen will come back to ask His Excellency the Moon God for advice. Zhang Shang bowed his head slightly and said goodbye to the moon god.
Although there is not much to talk about today, whether it is the future trend of the pattern, or the development path based on the sentient beings of heaven and earth, or the reality that he is no longer a mortal, it is a great impact on Zhang Shang.
He needed to sort out his thoughts before he could think about future planning and what he should ask the moon god for.
