Zhou Chaoyang couldn't come up with an answer for a while.

He could only say stiffly: "Those questions have nothing to do with me! Can we just let someone do evil? Since the Nine Clans have drawn up a covenant, they should abide by it! How can we ask others to abide by the covenant that we don't abide by? What is the difference between us and the evil blood demon? What kind of people do you have the face to claim to be righteous?"

Zhou Yunxiao shook his head, smiled helplessly, and continued to speak: "The Heavenly Domain has been established for more than five hundred years, and there are countless territories under its jurisdiction, nearly one billion ordinary people, nine vassal states, seven directly subordinate countries, and nearly 10 million cultivators! Do you know how much these ordinary disciples produce on average per day, and how much they need to consume?"

"There are eight Heavenly Realms in the Heavenly Domain, nearly a hundred True Realms, a few Knowing the Xuan Realm, and I don't know how many people below the Knowing Xuan Realm, do you know how many cultivation resources they have to consume every day? Do you think such a huge force is composed for ridiculous power? Or is it for the so-called number one in the world? They are all for those cultivation resources! Without those resources, they can fight for so much territory for the birth and death of the Heavenly Domain?"

A series of numbers and questions completely confused Zhou Chaoyang, and the monks of various realms are equivalent to their own family background, the last hole card, this kind of extremely secret thing, he naturally knew very little in the past. In his eyes, the man in front of him was nothing more than sophistry.

Zhou Chaoyang said loudly: "Resources and justice do not contradict each other! Since the territory under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Domain is vast, then it must be enough to be self-sufficient, so why should he sell the original intention and original wish of the establishment of the Heavenly Domain for that little benefit? After all, it is just insatiable!"

"The first three years of the Heavenly Domain cultivator's entry are the so-called "edification", talking about the ideals and justice, loyalty and faith of the Heavenly Domain, and claiming to be the most fair and righteous top force in Cangze, now it seems that it is extremely ridiculous!"

Zhou Yunxiao was unmoved, and said again: "You insist on experiencing the three years of "education", and now it seems that it is a wrong decision."

"The core reason for the establishment of the sect is that it is a transaction, the great monks need resources, and the low-level ones need shelter! If those great monks have no resources to supply, and they are still bound by rules and regulations, then why don't they go to the idle clouds and wild cranes, wouldn't it be happy? As for the low-level monks, do you really think that the sect is a good church?

"Even the great cultivators of the Heaven Realm have a limited lifespan, so they need low-level monks to provide for them, collect and process all kinds of cultivation resources. The low-level monks are like ants that can be pinched to death at any time, and all they can do is give their time in exchange for shelter. ”

"As for the vast territory of the Heavenly Domain you mentioned, this is undeniable, but the cultivation resources of the Cangze Continent are limited, and the time for resource regeneration is a very long time span. ”

"To put it simply, the huge group of monks in the world has already exceeded the burden of Cangze, and the rate of resource consumption has far exceeded the time required to produce it!"

"Besides, the specific resources are only produced in the area of the Xiyuan Formation Pattern Vein, and the Formation Pattern has already leaked the rumors of the Formation Pattern Sect. The Tattoo Pulse Clan could also look for the Nine Clans as foreign aid, but unfortunately they made a wrong choice, he did not take sides, but wanted to fight against the Nine Clans......"

"Hahaha......"

Zhou Chaoyang couldn't help laughing as if he had heard some extremely funny joke.

Zhou Chaoyang then spoke again: "Just because you didn't stand in line, you watched tens of thousands of people die unexpectedly? Knowing that the number of monks has exceeded the burden, the number of disciples recruited by your Nine Clans has increased year after year? In fact, you Jiu Clan are the most serious chronic disease in Cangze, and you are the culprit of everything!"

Three years of education and experience in walking the rivers and lakes have already established a complete world view and values in Zhou Chaoyang's heart.

Zhou Chaoyang prides himself on being a chivalrous and courageous man, seeing injustices on the road, and firmly believing in truth and justice in his heart, and the propaganda of a sect is naturally whitewashed and peaceful, and no serious sect will splash its own dirty water and publicize its own unclean history.

In fact, which sect is clean? This is just simple propaganda, but it is just a way for the superiors to deceive the ignorant people at the lower levels, so that they will have a sense of integration, honor, and identity.

The funny thing is that Zhou Chaoyang believed it.

A person who prides himself on being righteous and proud of his sect knows his sect in an instant, but he is also the kind of executioner who is unscrupulous and stained with blood.

How could Zhou Yunxiao not know his state at this time, but he didn't say anything to guide him, and continued to speak: "Control the quantity? The Nine Clans understand this truth, but no one will stop! Who in the Nine Clans doesn't know that cooperation is the only way out, and controlling the number of monks is the solution, but who dares to control the number and stop moving forward?"

"The nine clans are intrigued, they are all too smart, so smart that no one dares to believe each other, so no one will take the initiative to stop moving forward. Even if there is an abyss ahead, we must go hand in hand! Because once we fall behind others, we will bear the risk of joint annexation by other clans!"

"Do you really think that the blood demon was exterminated because he violated the covenant and did too many unrighteous things? If you really talk about it, none of the top clans are clean! The blood demon is just the first clan to decline. ”

Zhou Chaoyang sneered: "It's really insatiable! The blood demon used to be in the dark ages, leading all the clans to rebel against the cold veins. It's ridiculous that the world, even me..."

"I also believe in the lies of your nine clans, and believe that the blood demon is really a foreign race that does all kinds of evil......"

Zhou Yunxiao continued: "The justice in your mouth is just an ethereal term. As for the interpretation of this term, it is in the hands of the Jiu clan, and what the Jiu clan says it means, it means!"

"In the eyes of today's world, the people of the heavenly realm are born to be superior to others, and even in this world, even if the world's people have one husband, three wives and four concubines, it is a normal thing. Years later, perhaps the people of the Heavenly Realm were born with a disgrace, like that animal slave clan, to be slaughtered. Maybe monogamy or even polyandry will be the norm in the future..."

This is the rule-maker, and what you say is the rule! And the interpretation of the word justice is also up to you. ”

"And you, destined to be my successor in the future, you are the one who makes the rules! Hold the absolute right to speak! And what you have to do is to keep the status of the Heavenly Domain and play with those eight giant beasts. ”

Zhou Chaoyang shook his head: "That person is from the vein line, his name is Cheng Wangzhi, he once sacrificed his life to save me, he once told me that he envied me in the heavenly domain." ”

"It's not because Tianyu is one of the glorious Nine Clans, but because Tianyu is the only place where the slave clan is regarded as a human being, and I also think that Tianyu is a just place!"

Zhou Chaoyang looked at the painting shining in the setting sun, and muttered: "What is described in this painting is the scene when the three founders of Tianyu ascended to the top of Tianmen Mountain and created Tianyu!"

"We are from a poor family, and we have no noble status, and we seek a corner in the troubled times to establish a sect, and we swear here: act but seek the heart"

Zhou Chaoyang paused and continued: "This sentence is one of the founders of the Heavenly Domain, Zhou Yanchu said"

"Drawing a sword is uneven," this is what Ji Wuhui said.

"Life but seek the truth" is what Changgu said, and Changgu is a slave who doesn't even have a surname.

"Born in troubled times, mourning sentient beings like grass mustard, mourning cultivators like domestic animals, if the night is dark and there is no light, all sentient beings are hopeless, I am willing to take my body as a torch!"

After Zhou Chaoyang finished saying this, he turned his eyes and stared at Zhou Yunxiao, and asked Zhou Yunxiao word by word in an extremely firm tone: "Your Excellency Domain Master, do you still remember whose mouth these words came from?

Zhou Yunxiao smiled, and his eyes fell on the painting again, in the painting, just like at this moment, the sun was setting, and the three people in the painting gathered at the top of Tianmen Mountain, toasting and drinking together.

"How dare you count the classics and forget the sect, these words are left by the three founders of Tianyu, and they are also the oath and the core of the sect made when Tianyu was founded. ”

Zhou Chaoyang sneered: "It is only their shape, not their intentions! It is precisely because they are all from poor families, and some are even slave clans like domestic animals, so they vowed to create an ideal place in the dark age when the Eight Clans and the Blood Demon Clan were fighting. ”

"A place of fairness, justice, and peace!"

"Could it be that they are motivated by their personal desires and greed? With their cultivation, which clan is not the top and highest? and cannot enjoy endless cultivation resources?"

"There is a big trouble in the Holy Spirit Valley of Shinto Mountain, the empty Xuan Mountain is ambushed, and the eight clans gather in Tianmen Mountain......"

"What are they doing, which one is not nine deaths and one life? What are they for? But now, their descendants have degenerated, and they have forgotten their original intentions, and discrimination against the slave clan has once again spread in the Heavenly Domain, and the current Heavenly Domain is no different from the other Eight Clans. ”

Zhou Yunxiao didn't care about his sarcasm, but said: "Don't dare to talk about the three great men, in troubled times, the main force of the Eight Clans exterminated the blood demon, and the heavenly domain was established, and when the blood demon fell, the heavenly domain was also unstoppable." The wheel of history is rolling forward, and we do not have the courage and courage of great men, dare to be the first in the world, and compete with the major clans at that time. ”

"Today's Heavenly Domain is already full of hundreds of millions of living beings, and it has long been unable to move forward as indomitable as it was at the beginning, and a misstep will become a thousand years of hatred, I, the domain master, can't afford it, any mistakes related to the contemporary Eight Clans, the blood demon is a lesson from the past!"

Zhou Chaoyang choked back and said: "I betrayed my heart and the concept of creation! Before this moment, I was proud to be born in the Heavenly Domain, but after this moment, I am ashamed of it... Sooner or later, your Nine Clan's desires and greed will destroy you!"

Zhou Yunxiao finally turned around at this moment, stared at Zhou Chaoyang tightly, and said word by word: "Desire and greed are not shameful! The human race walked from the branches to the plains, from walking on all fours to walking upright, from independent individuals to empires, from knotting ropes to compiling history books, if it weren't for the desire to survive and greed, which constantly pushed the race forward, you and I would not be standing here now!"

"If we don't look at the useless books of the sages, all of them are people who have no desires and no desires, and they claim that they are saints who are beyond the mortal world, and who have no desires and no desires, so how can we talk about progress? If no one has greed and desire, and no enterprising spirit, then people should have died a long time ago!

Zhou Chaoyang sneered: "There is nothing wrong with desire and greed, innate beastliness, but being born as a human, if there is no bottom line, what is the difference between it and a beast?"

Zhou Yunxiao rebuked: "If there is no animal greed, our race will not be inherited to this day!

"Life is gone, and humanity is still alive? Human nature is built on the basis of animal nature!"

"Throughout the ages, how many of the growth and vicissitudes of all things have survived to this day? The vast majority of them have remained in the history books and drowned in history, and in addition to the fact that they are not adapted to the environment, there is also a reason that they are not greedy enough and their desire to survive is not strong enough! So they have been eliminated! If there is no animal nature, how can we talk about human nature?"

"Only if you are greedy and strong enough can you be qualified to survive!"

Perhaps everyone has their own concerns, each stands in their own position, and each has their own goals.

One is romantic idealism, the other is brutal realism, one is the son, the other is the father, and neither of them can convince anyone.

Zhou Chaoyang turned around, paused for a moment, and then said: "Maybe the world is bustling, all for profit, greed and desire are not wrong, that is also the driving force that pushes you forward." ”

"But that's not absolute, some people are different, what drives them forward is not only desire and greed, but also ideals and beliefs!"

"This is the first time I've called your father, and probably the last. I only hope that while you are greedy, you can at least keep a trace of the bottom line as a human being, because there are tens of thousands of living people. ”

"I only hope that there is still a trace of justice in this world, and I hope that one day, if I encounter injustice, someone will be able to speak for me!"

Zhou Yunxiao shook his head: "You who are above the rules, you don't need this kind of inexplicable thought, and you don't need to substitute yourself for the beings under the rules. ”

Zhou Chaoyang was stunned, and couldn't help but think of various experiences in the past, they had the same goal and the same code of conduct.

Killed people together, saved people together, sang together, and enjoyed the rivers and lakes together...

Zhou Chaoyang muttered: "If he is still here, he must be angry and scolding: how can this be reasonable." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back, without the slightest memory.

I met you in this life, I was happy, and I have settled too many injustices, but it's a pity... I'm afraid I'm the only one this time...

Zhou Yunxiao was about to open his mouth to stay, but suddenly dispelled his thoughts.

raised his head and closed his eyes to think deeply, how could he not know the current predicament of the Jiu Clan, how could he not know that each of them was fighting a military force, and sooner or later it would ruin Cangze, but he had no way out.

As he said, each of the Nine Clans knows its predicament, but who will stop moving forward? Stopping means falling behind, and it means enduring the danger of being beaten or even annexed!

When he sat in this position, he already knew that he was responsible for the rise and fall of the entire Heavenly Domain, and every choice he made was already involuntary.

muttered: "Such a stubborn personality, once you decide it, you won't look back, just like you... Ripples ......"

At the end of the summer of the 529th year of the Tianxing Chronicle, the heir of the Heavenly Domain was determined and walked down the gate of heaven.
