As the true god of the Crescent Cult, the only master of the entire Crescent Cult, he is not only a powerful monk personally, but more often than not, a ruler.

There is no essential difference between using the temple church system to control believers and the emperor using officials at all levels to control the country and the people. Theocracy and imperial power are the same kind of existence, the method by which shepherds keep their flocks in captivity.

However, Li Ye's thoughts and Dao heart exceeded the expectations of the true gods of the Crescent Moon Sect. You must know that Li Ye's thoughts are not limited to this world, and in his cognition, Li Ye's thoughts are products that do not belong to this era.

Matter determines consciousness, and existence determines thought. At present, the civilization in this world does not support a Dao heart like Li Ye at all. The emperor of this world should be a shepherd, not a "saint".

It was their own choice for emperors to become shepherds, as well as for the times and civilizations. In the current social environment, if he does not want to be a shepherd, then he can only fail.

What Li Ye said is that the freedom, fairness, and dignity of the Tang people cannot be realized in the current world.

Get to the bottom of it, and the people's wisdom has not been opened.

The vast majority of the people in this realm have not yet reached the level of education and wisdom and insight that they can recognize the truth of the imperial order.

In order to be fed and clothed, to have a house to live in, for family happiness, for the education of future generations, for social relations, etc., they have to exhaust all their sweat and hard work, and they have no time to accept more knowledge and think more things.

The true God is well aware that saints are not allowed to reign in the world when the sheep are still just sheep and have not become wise men. Li Ye forcibly did this, which would only cause social chaos, and the final result would be only one: the collapse of the foundation.

The sheep need to be kept in captivity by the shepherd, otherwise they will not survive. That's the reality.

But it is also very clear that this world is not as simple as those people in the mortal world see, and it is not even as understood by all the immortals in this world. In this case, if external forces intervene, what Li Ye did is impossible, and there is a chance that it will become possible.

Coming here, the path he chose to unify this realm and integrate all the forces of this realm is different from Li Ye. And as Li Ye said, in a world, there can only be one voice giving orders, and there can only be one banner to follow.

Therefore, we must not miss a beat, and we must defeat Li Ye.

The true god calmed down his mood for a while, and then suppressed the vision in his heart, stared at Li Ye, and said slowly: "There is a question, I don't know if you have thought about it. ”

"You say. Li Ye said.

"In this world, the vast majority of people are born to suffer.

"Not to mention that there is no food, clothing, and no house to live in, the basic dignity of these food, clothing, shelter and transportation cannot be guaranteed, they live in society, they have to endure yelling from the upper strata all day long, they are called like cattle and horses, and they can only bear the arrogance and oppression of the powerful, but they can only bow their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes."

Li Ye interrupted?, "What the hell do you want to say?"

He was keenly aware of a problem when the true God mentioned the word "society."

Before that, he had never heard these two words mentioned in this world.

The true god took a deep breath, "What I want to say is that compared with the powerful, the vast majority of the people have suffered all their lives, and they have been tired and aggrieved, but they still want their dearest and beloved people to continue to suffer this kind of pain in this world, don't you think it's very strange?"

Li Ye understood what the true god meant.

The vast majority of the people have been miserable and tired all their lives, but they are still giving birth to offspring.

It is not enough for them to suffer this way in a world that is not friendly to them, and they want their children to continue to suffer this kind of suffering.

They live at the bottom of society, and their children live at the bottom of society, and they have to go through the pain, torture and fatigue they have experienced.

Why would they do it?

Li Ye said: "Therefore, the children of the people at the bottom of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty may not all be like their parents." ”

The true god sneered: "What is the probability of being different? For the entire low-level people, what is the proportion that can change their fate? You can't deny that the vast majority of the low-level people, their descendants are still at the bottom. In the vast majority of cases, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, this is the reality.

"As an emperor, can't you even realize this? In the final analysis, whether it is the imperial examination or military merits, it is just a hope. The emperor gave the people this hope, so that they could think better, comfort themselves, and not be so desperate.

"Because the emperor knows better than anyone else that once the people at the bottom despair, it is the beginning of the turmoil of the dynasty and the source of the collapse of the imperial order. ”

Li Ye frowned slightly, and was about to say something, but the true god waved his hand, signaling him to be calm and not impatient, and then continued: "Giving birth to children, this is a family concept, a family concept, and a social concept.

And these ideas are the basic ideas of the shepherd to ensure that he always has the flock. This is just like serving the country with loyalty, it is also the understanding that the emperor makes the people form, otherwise he is not a good person. And it is on these that the emperor maintains the empire and maintains his own position.

"Can you say no?"

Li Ye was stunned, "Isn't it right to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country?"

Shin Shin said, "Yes, but not as you understand it. Only the country and the king who are good to the people need to be served. That's the basic need for everyone to work together to protect themselves, not something that is taken for granted. ”

Li Ye disagreed: "Isn't it right to have children and inherit the lineage?"

Shin Shin said: "Yes, but it is not what you understand.

"The continuation of the race is the need and glory of the existence of the race, not the duty imposed on people by a dynasty that oppresses the people. If the people do not live well because of the oppression of the powerful, then it is a logical and stakeholder choice not to let their descendants come to this world to suffer.

"The emperor and magnates are afraid of this, so that the oppression will be alleviated and the people will live a better life. And if the people don't have this awareness, no matter how their lives are, they will still provide a flock, and the emperor and magnates can't feel the pressure, so why should they reduce their own interests?"

Li Ye groaned.

The words of the true God are convincing and confident, as if they had seen such a scene.

This made his thoughts drift away, across time and space, and drift back somewhere to examine the empires of that world.

Then he found that in the empire with a low fertility rate, the standard of living of the common people was significantly higher.

Li Ye looked at the true god for a long time, and suddenly laughed, and then said slowly: "What you said has nothing to do with my Tang Dynasty. In addition to allowing the people to have cultivation, I also want to prepare them for opening up their wisdom.

It only takes decades of education and propaganda to change people's understanding and thinking. After all, this is a logical thing, and people who can think normally will understand it to some extent. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, "Logic, that's the word." I'm wondering, how do you know it? It's not part of this time of the world. Many of the terms you say are not from this era. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ye's eyes were a little sharper, full of inquiry and scrutiny, "Who are you? Where do you come from?"

The true god looked at Li Ye playfully, "Who are you and where are you from?"

Li Ye understood all the words he said, which not only shows that there is a problem, but also proves that Li Ye has a problem.

And Li Ye directly pierced this layer unabashedly, but he didn't think about hiding anything, he just wanted to know the answer.

The conversation between the two was not worried that others would hear it because of the enchantment.

Li Ye said suddenly: "I let the people of the Tang Dynasty master the force and let their people open up their wisdom, which is the right choice in line with your and my cognition." And you just use the Crescent Moon Sect to control the common people, and you are using the same old method, which is obviously a foolish and backward choice. ”

The true god didn't care, "You should know that 'a thousand years later', the empires and dynasties of the world will still be like this." Why do you think that the current Datang can enter the kind of society you want? Although my method is old, it is suitable for the current era. And you are so ambitious and unrealistic. ”

Li Ye snorted, ready to listen to the true god continue, but he didn't see the other party say anything after a while, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Shouldn't the end of the street add a sentence 'will definitely lose'?"

The true god glanced at him and said angrily, "If it's so tasteless, do you think I'll say it?"

Li Ye gave a thumbs up.

At this point in the conversation, neither of them spoke again for a while.

It should have been said clearly, and the true god saw that Li Ye's heart was strong and there was no chance to take advantage of it, and he also extinguished his mind to defeat him in this regard.

In the current era, if there is no external force, it will take decades for the people of the world to be enlightened. Even if the Tang people are different and not the same as some people in a thousand years from now, this time can be shortened, and it will inevitably take several generations of education.

And the current situation is that even if Li Ye unifies this world, it is far from a few decades available.

Not even ten years!

In this case, if the Tang Dynasty unifies the cultivation realm, then when the crisis comes, the realm will still be in chaos, and the situation will be extremely bad.

But what the true god has to admit is that Li Ye's thinking is absolutely incomparably attractive to people with real lofty ideals at the moment. They will be willing to fight for Li Ye and sacrifice their lives to die. In their eyes, Li Ye is a hero, a hero unparalleled in the world.

"I only have one problem right now. ”

The true god spoke again, staring at Li Ye closely, as if to see him through, "If there is not enough time, education is not popularized, the wisdom of the people is not greatly opened, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty are rapidly becoming corrupt and degenerate in the face of power after the Tang Dynasty unifies the cultivation realm, how can you guarantee that these officials, and even the descendants of these officials, will always respect the freedom, fairness and dignity of the people?"

Li Ye's eyes suddenly became like fireworks.

He knew what the question meant.

Sure enough, the true god laughed playfully: "If you really come from that world, you should know that there was once an unprecedented great person, and for the descendants of officials and magnates, he still respected the freedom, fairness and dignity of the people like him, and let the dynasty he defeated realize and maintain the appearance of 'great harmony', and adopted some methods."

He asked the descendants of officials and powerful people to go to the countryside and mountain villages to live with the people at the bottom, let them know the hardships and hardships of the people at the bottom, and hoped that the descendants of those officials and magnates could take the common people of the world as their own responsibility like him. In order to suppress and restrain the powerful and officials, he did not hesitate to start another war.

"But what the result is, I don't think I need to repeat it.

"If you know this, you should understand that your choice is wrong. ”

Li Ye stared at the true god, and the flames in his eyes became more and more serious.

There was a sudden tension between the two, and the atmosphere that had been peaceful before instantly froze to the freezing point.

Li Ye finally determined that the other party was indeed from the same world as him.

The true god met Li Ye's gaze without the slightest evasion.

There seemed to be a thousand thunderbolts in the air that were about to explode at the same time.

However, this treacherous atmosphere disappeared completely in a blink of an eye.

Because the flames in Li Ye's eyes subsided.

He regained his calm and calm bearing, and the look of anticipation and self-pride between his eyebrows was even more intense than before.

He said lightly: "My dynasty is called the Tang Dynasty, and my people are called the Tang people, so my choice is not wrong." ”

Although the tone is flat, it is loud and unquestionable.

The true god was stunned.

I watched Li Ye for a long time.

Finally, it was confirmed that Li Ye was not lying.

His face became a little ugly.

"Whose path is right must be proved by practice after all, and in this war, you and I must distinguish the winner and loser. Li Ye ended the conversation.

The corners of his mouth outlined a trace of Zhizhu in his hand. As an emperor, if he doesn't believe in his people, he doesn't have to cultivate any imperial ways.

The true God is silent.

I know that Li Ye is about to give the order to go to war.

With a wave of his hand, he let go of the enchantment, and the True God ordered the Crescent Moon Sect Immortals: "Retreat ninety miles back and set up defenses!"

The march is thirty miles a round, and the retreat is ninety miles, which is called retreat and retreat.
