Volume 9 Flying Immortals Chapter 19 Thinking about the world
In ancient times, the Kyushu border was not called the Kyushu border, and various countries and ethnic groups were constantly fighting, killing and dying...... Hatred spread across the land, and the flames of war burned almost every corner of the earth, and even though some decent monks tried to maintain order on the earth, their strength pale in the face of the flames of war that spread all over the land.
It was a cruel era, it was a crazy era, it was an era when demons and evil sects ruled the earth, it was an era when everyone was in danger, it was an era when just living peacefully was already the greatest luxury!
No one knows how long the era of Lu Dao lasted, but people know how the era of Lu Dao ended, one by one, after the most Lu of that era, there was a legendary figure, he was Li Xin, a hero who was called the "Holy Emperor" by later generations.
The story of Lixin could be written in several thick books, and that is only a tally of official records, not folklore. His Majesty the Holy Emperor has left behind countless legends, and his deeds are innumerable.
However, if you want to summarize the lifelong achievements of the Holy Emperor in one sentence, it is very simple, six words are enough. Peaceful troubled times, set Kyushu. It took 60 years to leave Xin, or to persuade with reason, or to surrender with interests, or to surrender by force, and gradually swept away all the forces on the earth. From the sea in the east, to the desert and mountains in the west, to the 100,000 mountains in the south, and to the prairie in the north, this huge world boundary is divided into Kyushu, ending the era of endless wars.
In the process of sweeping away the troubled times, he tried his best to eliminate the contradictions of various ethnic groups by relatively mild means, and also reduced the killing as much as possible, but after all, there are inevitably some stubborn people, and the knife will inevitably often be stained with blood, which is a matter of course, unless those who read benevolence, righteousness and morality are stupid, otherwise everyone can understand.
There are some tribes among them, who have great power but are resolutely opposed to unification, but they are not extremely vicious in their own right, and some of them even have a good reputation among the people. For such enemies, Li Xin did not directly destroy them in the spirit of "killing decisively", but exiled them to some independent small world realms, and then destroyed the passage of the Kyushu realm to these small world realms, leaving them to die in vain there.
Historians have always been quite controversial about the Holy Emperor's practice, some people think that this is benevolence and righteousness, some people think that this is false benevolence and false righteousness, some people think that this is not just doing it, and some people think that it is helpless. But in any case, Li Xin has already done this, and it doesn't make much sense to approve or disagree.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and everyone thinks that this matter has long been settled, and there are no more variables, but no one expected that after tens of thousands of years, one of those small worlds that was cut off from contact at the beginning was actually connected with the Kyushu boundary again.
Moreover, this world realm is still in the midst of destruction, and the cold aura of the destruction of that world realm is passing through the boundary gate and affecting the Kyushu realm.
Fortunately, Wu Xie and they are not fanatical causalists, otherwise they would have been muttering stupid things like "the cause of the past, the effect of today" and so on, thinking that the future drought in the Kyushu border is retribution......
"Those are the alien races that were expelled from the Kyushu border in ancient times!" Du Xin said with certainty, "When I listened to them just now, I felt a little familiar, as if I had heard them somewhere...... This is the northern accent of ancient times, which is roughly equivalent to the dialect of the so-called 'glacial permafrost' region further north of the current Eastern Qi Kingdom. ”
"Although I don't know if the people there still speak this language, at least in the era of the Great Light God Cult, there was a Dharma Protector who lived there for a few years and had a lot of communication with them, and they spoke like this at that time."
"According to the records, there was once a tribe called 'Ji' there, who was expelled from Kyushu because of his opposition to the Holy Emperor's unification of the world. It's just that the texts don't say that they were banished to such a world on the verge of destruction......"
"It seems that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is not as merciful as many stories say." Du Ruo's gaze swept over the depressed ice city, looking at the empty rooms and those old and weak women and children, and couldn't help but sneer, "Is it better to be banished to such a world than to die?" In my opinion, it's worse than death!"
"Maybe tens of thousands of years ago, this world was not so miserable." Wu Xie frowned, and subconsciously explained to the Holy Emperor, "But this is all a matter of the past, the important thing is the ...... in front of you Now that this world realm is connected to the Kyushu realm again, will this breath of destruction of the world realm be transmitted from the boundary crossing gate to our Kyushu realm? Will it have a fatal impact on our Kyushu border?"
"It's not that ...... For the Great Dry World Realm, there will be a lot of destruction of the Small World Realm almost every day, but I haven't heard that the destruction of the Small World Realm will affect the Great World Realm, although your Kyushu Realm is not very big, but at least it is much larger than this World. Even if this world realm is completely destroyed, it will not cause fatal harm to the Kyushu realm. ”
"It's always influential, right?"
"Of course, the world-destroying chill flowing out of the Boundary Gate will bring a large-scale cold wave. But even if there is no cold wave, the Kyushu border will inevitably have an early morning, hot drought or cold drought, is there much difference?"
Wu Xie pondered for a moment, put this question aside for the time being, and asked again: "So...... If this world is destroyed, all the creatures here will also die, right?"
"This is a matter of course, the world realm is destroyed, and the living beings will naturally be extinct."
Wu Xie sighed and looked at the ice city.
Even if he didn't consider other living beings, with the tens of thousands of people in this ice city alone, he couldn't watch so many people die with peace of mind. If you can come up with something, you always have to try to save it.
But...... It's not so easy to save.
Wanting to prevent the demise of a world realm is obviously whimsical. Wu Xie thought about it for a long time, and only came up with a way to "migrate the residents of this world realm to the Kyushu border".
But is that really good?
He pondered silently, pondering the possible consequences.
He estimated the population of the ice city, if calculated according to the number of children and the elderly, the total population of the ice city should be 100,000 or more, one by one, in this harsh environment, the number of old people should be relatively small; The fact that the number of children is smaller than that of the elderly may have been influenced by the world itself.
100,000 bodies are beyond imagination, even teenagers are close to the acquired realm, and adults are likely to be innate masters...... Such a powerful nation, the combat effectiveness is likely to have surpassed the sum of the countries in the Kyushu border, if they are allowed to enter the Kyushu border, I am afraid that in a few years, they will burn the war all over the entire Kyushu border, and the number of dead people will definitely be far more than 100,000!
In order to save this group of aliens, the Kyushu border faced a cruel war, and the dead were far greater than the population of this realm...... Although Wu Xie does not approve of the practice of "calculating human lives by quantity", at least he will still settle accounts.
Killing more people in order to save a few is not only unwise, but also not the way of the benevolent!
What to do? Can you come up with the best of both worlds?
Wu Jie's gaze wandered around the ice city, falling into deep thought......
