Ruins of the past

(Sorry everyone, my hand slipped at the beginning and I accidentally repeated 1,200 words. The starting point of the paid chapter can only increase the number of words but not reduce the number of words, so I will not delete the duplicates here. I will set up a free chapter to compensate everyone.)

Xinghan 24th year, October.

Jiangzhou in the south, Hongxing Prefecture, is where Dragon Snake Mountain, the holy land of Tianshi Sect, is located.

Fucheng was shrouded in darkness. Except for the faint light emitted by Tianxiatong in the sky, only sporadic firelight could be seen in the entire city.

Tianshijiao has developed rapidly in recent years. With thousands of years of accumulation, they have invested in a large number of local factories, qi-blood machines and qi-blood networks, and built commercial roads and waterways, making Hongxing Prefecture a southeastern commercial center. important nodes in the network.

The talismans and elixirs produced by the Tianshi Sect have been sold all over the world over the years, creating astonishing wealth.

In addition, every year it receives a large number of Tianshi Sect believers from all over the world. The demand for various accommodations, food, incense, sacrifices, rituals, etc. has also created a huge market, making the entire Hongxing Mansion more prosperous and prosperous. lively.

At this moment, in an alley, screams had just begun but were suddenly interrupted.

A figure covered in blood was being dragged away.

The figure was furry all over, and there seemed to be two pointed cat ears on its head. A broken tail fell to the side and was picked up.

The followers of Tianshi Sect were pulling him back to the small courtyard when they heard a shout from outside the alley: "What are you doing?"

I saw a Qi-blood fighter soldier wrapped in an exoskeleton flying at a low altitude and arriving at the scene. A bloody light burst out from his eyes, completely covering the scene.

Seeing the appearance of the Qi-Blooded Robots, several followers of the Tianshi Sect were shocked.

In recent years, in order to strengthen local governance, the imperial court has thoroughly implemented local control over every village and household. Under the leadership of Chu Qiguang, a new type of institution called Anminsuo has been implemented into village-level administrative units. , the personnel inside are called inspectors.

The responsibilities of the Anmin Station are similar to those of the police station. They are responsible for the frontline security matters, and each Anmin Station is equipped with a Qi-blood fighter.

The Qi-Blooded Robots are remotely operated by warriors located in Shenjing to perform flat office operations, and all work processes are recorded in Montnets.

The emergence of the Anmin Station greatly improved the security situation in various places. In just one year, countless long-standing cases were solved, allowing the court to effectively grasp the actual situation in various places down to the village level, and took on a large amount of publicity to the people at the bottom. function of imperial policy.

Of course, the amount of materials and manpower consumed by this kind of administrative cost is unprecedented. It can be said that this is the only era in the world that can govern the world in this way.

The Qi-blood robots swept over the broken body of the cat demon on the ground, and the patrol officer warned: "Don't move, you are committing murder and hurting people. Everything has been recorded on the dream network. Prepare to go to the Yamen with me."

A believer explained: "Master, this is not a human but a cat demon. You don't know anything. This little thieving cat sneaked into our house and stole things before we gave him a lesson. We didn't beat him to death." "

Another believer said: "Sir, this is at the foot of Dragon Snake Mountain. Don't get close to the demon clan. You deserve to be beaten. The government can't care about it. In the past, the adults at the Anmin Institute didn't care about it either. I advise you not to be too troublesome." ."

Another believer said: "It has been a local custom to kill monsters since ancient times. Sir, you'd better not meddle in other people's business, so as not to disturb the public sentiment among the people."

However, a firm voice came out from the Qi-Blooded Soldiers: "Damn it, the imperial court has issued an order. All humans and demons are my burly subjects. How dare you make excuses for committing crimes and harming the people? Why did the officers in the past have no control over me? Today, I have no control over this matter." deal."

Anminsuo's Qi-Blooded Robots not only have the physical strength and mobility of warriors from the Five Realms, but they are also equipped with weapons powerful enough to threaten those who have entered the Dao.

Once the attack started, no one dared to stop it. They could only watch the other party help the cat demon up.

The cat demon looked at the Qi-blood machine soldier and made a weak voice: "I...I didn't steal anything."

The inspector inspected the cat demon's body and found that her limbs were broken, one of her eyeballs had half fallen out, and there were countless burns on her back. At this moment, she was almost breathless.

Seeing this scene, he felt a surge of anger in his heart, hugged the cat demon and rose into the sky, leaving the scene.

The few believers who stayed there looked at each other in confusion. They all had a premonition that things might get serious, so they hurriedly went to find someone.

…

A few days later.

Inside the Sala Palace.

Jiaojiao leaned back on the chair and put her feet up on the table.

She swung her calves while flipping through the documents and said, "Brother, the number of cases of human-male conflicts has declined in recent years, especially the proportion of human-male people living together in various prefectures and counties has been increasing."

"After years of propaganda from the imperial court and education from various major monasteries, the new generation of humans can now look at the demon clan more peacefully."

"However, in many remote areas and special areas, the sentiment of hatred towards humans or demons has not changed much, and security incidents involving conflicts between humans and demons still occur from time to time."

"It's like the patrol kneeling down to suppress the fishmen, the restaurant prohibiting the monsters from entering, the human caravan on the grassland being intercepted and killed by the wolf monster, the humans tracking the monsters and pushing the bird monster into the river... there are endless occurrences."

"The most troublesome thing is that the major sects, courts, and those resuscitation experts are all vaguely divided into two factions: humans and demons."

Jiaojiao sighed, shook her head and said, "The conflict between humans and monsters has lasted for thousands of years, and it certainly cannot be changed overnight."

"Although we tried our best to appease the two tribes, over time, some people changed their minds, but some people's dissatisfaction was also accumulating."

"If this continues, I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later."

Chu Qiguang glanced at her and suddenly asked: "I heard that you celebrated your birthday recently? Do you want me to congratulate you?"

Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly, turned her head and said, "Oh, it's all the people below who make their own decisions. I didn't want to be too high-profile."

Chu Qiguang: "Did you receive a lot of gift money?"

Jiaojiao hesitated: "It's... not bad."

Chu Qiguang said: "Jiaojiao, if you use what I teach you properly, it is to manage the world and benefit the people, but if you use it wrongly, it will be deception and abduction. From individuals to countries, I have seen too many It has gone from managing the world and benefiting the people to deceiving and abducting people.”

Jiaojiao lowered her head and said, "Brother, why are you so selfless now? In the past few years, we have been spitting out money every year. When there is a flood in the east, we need to donate money for disaster relief. When there is a factory in the west, we need to borrow money from them at low interest rates."

"Now I can't even celebrate my birthday or receive some gifts without being criticized by you. It's such a boring life."

Chu Qiguang sighed and explained patiently: "In the past, we were small people, and many of the things we did were forced by the situation, and we were not responsible for the world.

But now our every move is watched by countless people. As the saying goes, if you celebrate your birthday and receive gifts, the people below will naturally follow suit..."

Just when Jiaojiao felt that her head was getting heavy, Jinnu hurriedly walked in, as if she had something to report.

Seeing Chu Qiguang's attention focused, Jiaojiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jinnu: "...A case occurred in Hongxing Mansion. The case was not complicated at first. The local magistrate has already investigated it clearly and the criminal has been caught."

"But because it involved the human-male conflict and the Tianshi Cult, the case became more and more serious in the local area. Not only did the local government fail to solve it, but it was reported to Mengwang."

"Now the case has spread all over the world and is gradually spreading throughout the Central Plains..."

Chu Qiguang's consciousness has been connected to the Dream Network, and a large amount of news is coming to him with his thoughts.

Jiaojiao on the side looked at it with the same curiosity, and the more she looked, the more surprised she said: "There are really many people discussing this case. Many monsters threaten to retaliate, but some humans, especially the followers of the Tianshi Sect, are very supportive. …”

"The local Tianshi Sect believers in Hongxing Prefecture have blocked the Yamen, demanding that the prefect release the prisoners..."

"The Third Law Department in the capital was also led by masters from the demon clan to block the door, demanding a thorough investigation of the Hongxing Mansion case. They said they were worried that the murderer was a stand-in and the real murderer was already at large..."

"Many people have revealed that killing monsters is a ritual of the Celestial Master Cult. It has been a local tradition in Hongxing Prefecture for hundreds of years. Many monsters have requested a thorough investigation..."

"Someone broke the news that this cat demon was a thief. He was caught stealing something and wanted to commit murder before he was beaten..."

"Huh? Some people say that this is fake news released by the local people. This cat demon was sold to Hongxing Mansion as a ritual sacrifice..."

"Hey...some people say that this is an overseas cat demon who deliberately provokes conflicts between humans and monsters, and that foreign forces are making trouble. Isn't this nonsense? The whole world belongs to us, there are no foreign forces."

"Alas, several Taoist masters from the Cat Clan have come forward to criticize the officials of the Hongxing Mansion for bending the law for their own selfish ends. They have witnessed the persecution of the Monster Clan at the foot of Dragon Snake Mountain for many years but have done nothing..."

"The royal censors in the imperial court have also been quarreling with each other, and Duo Chiwen, the demon officials, have gone to Shu to request a thorough investigation of the case..."

Chu Qiguang squinted his eyes and asked, "Is the injured cat demon still alive?"

Jin Nu nodded and said: "The imperial court has sent an imperial doctor there, but it is said that the situation is very dangerous, and the opponent is a demon after all, so ordinary medical skills may not be of much use."

Chu Qiguang said: "Ask Li Yaofeng to go over and tell him that if he still wants this year's funds, he must rescue this cat demon first."

Then the light and shadow in front of his eyes changed, and various messages on the Dream Network continued to flash and jump in front of his eyes.

Jiaojiao on the side said: "Brother, if you don't care about this matter, I'm afraid it will get bigger and bigger."

Chu Qiguang nodded and said, "Well, let's solve the case first, and then I'll go to Dragon Snake Mountain myself."

Jiaojiao wrinkled her nose: "Brother, killing demons and killing demons has been a custom for thousands of years in the Celestial Master Sect. No matter how this case is decided, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. This is a grudge between the two clans that lasts for thousands of years."

Chu Qiguang said: "Three feet of ice is not frozen in a day. The conflict between the two clans has been going on for a long time, and the impact of this case is the result of the continuous accumulation of conflicts. Even if it is dealt with impartially, it is still impossible to resolve the two conflicts." Clan grudges.”

"But Jiaojiao... don't make any mistake. Our goal has never been to resolve grudges."

"Our goal is to maximize the potential of the human and demon races while maintaining the balance of luck, so as to promote the development of this world."

"As long as the imperial court's policies continue, as time goes by, the two races will eventually merge slowly."

"After all, both humans and monsters are very forgetful creatures. No matter how big the conflict or deep hatred is, as long as there is no long-term conflict of interest, it will be forgotten over time."

"With hatred and no money to gain, most people in the new generation lack profit motivation and will naturally gradually cooperate with the court's policies."

"The ones who really cause trouble are those people and monsters who are motivated by profit."

Chu Qiguang saw the light and shadow change in front of his eyes, and rows of lists of human and demon clans were displayed, including masters from various sects from various countries.

"Wherever there are people, there will be competition for interests, and race is a natural alliance."

"Behind the human-male conflict, what is really stirring up troubles and fanning the flames, leading to intensified conflicts among the people... are the human-male parties that are now spread throughout the government, opposition parties, and chambers of commerce."

Chu Qiguang sighed: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes."

As long as it is a large force, there will naturally be different factions and interest groups within it.

For example, all dynasties in the Han Dynasty had political parties, and sometimes they were divided by regions, such as the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Qing Party.

Sometimes it is divided by school, such as the Southern School, the Northern School, and the Western School.

Sometimes they are divided based on their background, such as the noble sect who was born into nobility, and the humble sect who was born as a small or medium-sized landowner.

In short, as long as there are more people and more power, there will naturally be groups within the organization and there will be different camps.

Compared with factors such as region, sect, and origin, race is a natural division of camps.

The two major races, humans and demons, like Chu Qiguang's own, will naturally divide into two factions.

Human demons in various imperial yamen, chambers of commerce, and Taoist monasteries will also subconsciously form groups according to race. This is the nature of humans and demons to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and is unavoidable.

After the two parties form a team, there will naturally be conflicts of interest. Although there will not be a head-on collision, competition in various businesses and projects is inevitable.

Chu Qiguang pinched his chin and said slowly: "But in the past ten years, under my suppression, the two groups have never dared to take any drastic actions and only dared to compete normally."

"According to my estimate, in another twenty or thirty years, the new generation of members of the two races will gradually merge into one, and then they may find another way to unite. According to my estimate, the final possible development is for the human and demon parties to separate themselves. Split into more parties.”

"But I looked at the intelligence in the past month. There is some unusual agitation in the Tianshi Sect, which has led to an increase in the number of cases in which demons are victims. The cat demon case this time is due to this change in trends. Representative case.”

"What happened to the Tianshi Sect..."

At this moment, Chu Qiguang was suddenly stunned, and then smiled: "That's it."

Jiaojiao on the side quickly asked: "What's wrong?"

Chu Qiguang stood up: "The clone I sent to Dragon Snake Mountain just now was expelled."

Jiaojiao was shocked and said: "Expulsion? Who else in the world today can expel your clone?"

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly: "Taoist Master Xuanyuan."

The sixteenth level of the Buddha Realm.

Chu Qiguang slowly opened his eyes: "Are you finally awake?"

…

At the foot of Dragon Snake Mountain.

In addition to the believers gathered at the entrance of the Yamen, thousands of believers have also gathered at the foot of Longshe Mountain, praying to the leader of the Tianshi Sect to save the prisoners in the prison.

As time goes by, the number of believers continues to increase, and even gradually becomes restless.

On Dragon Snake Mountain, in Zixiao Palace.

Ever since Huang Daoxu went into hibernation, Fu Nanzi has been the leader of the Tianshi Sect and has been responsible for taking care of the teaching affairs.

However, Fu Nanzi also began to hibernate five years ago, so he passed the position of leader to Xuanyangzi.

Xuanyangzi was a little hesitant at the moment.

Xuanyangzi was a disciple of the previous leader, Fu Nanzi, and was particularly good at refining elixirs. Because he was in a peaceful mood and did not like fighting, he was chosen as the leader by Fu Nanzi and was canonized by the imperial court.

After he came to power, he focused on developing the Tianshi Sect's elixir business and developed many elixirs that could be refined in batches, benefiting countless people.

But now he is facing the turbulent public sentiment at the bottom of the mountain, but he doesn't know whether to support, oppose or remain neutral.

According to the teachings of the Tianshi Sect, and the thoughts of most of the believers in the sect, of course they want to support the believers in killing the monsters and coerce the Yamen to release them.

But before Fu Nanzi went into hibernation, he told him never to have any major conflicts with the court, the chamber of commerce, especially Chu Qiguang. His master's serious and dignified appearance left a deep impression on him.

At this moment, Yuan Yangzi, the leader of the new generation of Danyuan, said: "Master, Chu Qiguang is behind the imperial court. If you oppose the imperial court's national policy, you are slapping him in the face.

Things must not swing back and forth this time. We should immediately disperse the believers at the foot of the mountain and make our position clear so that they should stop causing trouble. As long as this is done well, Chu Qiguang will never come back to trouble us. "

Xuanyangzi sighed: "But if I do this, I'm afraid that the believers in the world will feel cold and I will violate the Taoist teachings."

Hai Liangzi, the leader of the Sword Academy on the other side, snorted and said: "I think we should make a fuss and let the court and Chu Qiguang know how powerful we are, so that they will not interfere with us, and now we have even accepted a disciple." He also needs to be canonized by the imperial court."

Yuan Yangzi, the head of the Alchemy Academy, was helpless to the impulsive senior brother beside him, and persuaded him: "Senior brother, Chu Qiguang has dominated the world for forty years, and with his martial arts and Taoist skills, he has already entered the realm of Tianyuan.

Although he has stopped taking action in these years, he has absorbed the world's resources and his realm will only become more advanced than before. Once he takes action, the world will collapse. "

Haicangzi sneered: "So what, Dao Zun has completely awakened, so who is Chu Qiguang's opponent? We should ask Dao Zun to take action. The world knows how powerful my Tianshi teaching is."

Yuan Yangzi, the head of the Alchemy Academy, looked at the enthusiastic look on his face, and then glanced at the confident looks of the other brothers in the Zixiao Palace. He could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

He knew that in the eyes of these fanatical believers, Taoist Master Xuanyuan was an invincible god, and Chu Qiguang was definitely no match for the Taoist Master.

Radicals like Litsea Litsea are increasing among the new generation of powerful Tianshi Sect members, and they are dissatisfied with the various controls imposed by the imperial court, and are even more disgusted with the policy of harmony between humans and monsters.

And this dissatisfaction was put to the greatest extent after Dao Zun Xuanyuan regained consciousness.

If Tao Zun had not asked them to conceal the news of their awakening, they would have told the world long ago and asked the court to give the Tianshi Sect a higher status and privileges.

Yuan Yangzi, the head of the Alchemy Academy, said in a low tone: "Even if Chu Qiguang is not as good as Taoist Master, he is still a peerless master in the realm of Tianyuan. The emperor will come in the next few decades. We should not conflict with him..."

But no one in the Zixiao Palace except him and the leader listened to this. The leader of the Sword Academy, Litsea Litsea, took the lead and said: "Master, if we all stand by and watch, what will the believers in the world think?

Nowadays, the righteous man who killed the monster is imprisoned, but the monster is rescued by the court. How can this be justified in the world?

The reputation of the Celestial Master Sect, which has been slaying demons for thousands of years, cannot be ruined in our hands. "

Seeing everyone's unanimous opinion, the leader Xuan Yangzi's hesitation gradually dissipated. But at this moment, a sound came from outside the sky and exploded directly over the Long Snake Mountain across the high mountains.

"I have always heard that Dao Zun learned Taoist martial arts, created three methods with one person, and achieved divine status with one sword, laying the foundation of the Celestial Master Sect for thousands of years. When I see him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

As the sound exploded, many Taoist priests and believers on the mountain and down the mountain all raised their heads and looked at the sky in surprise, wondering who was actually shouting to Taoist Xuanyuan.

And Chu Qiguang's figure has appeared in the sky above Zixiao Palace. As he thought, the fluctuations of energy and blood swept away, and the entire palace collapsed, revealing Yuanyangzi, Haicangzi and others below. people.

Yuan Yangzi blurted out: "Chu Qiguang?"

Hearing this, Haicangzi on the side yelled: "Chu Qiguang! Do you want to be an enemy of our Tianshi Sect? Are you an enemy of Dao Zun?"

Chu Qiguang glanced at him, and the next moment everyone present felt a heartbreaking pain exploding in their minds.

But this pain came and went quickly, disappearing before they could react.

Along with this, their martial arts and Taoism that they practiced hard also disappeared.

At this moment, everyone inside and outside Zixiao Hall, from the leader to the disciples, had their cultivation level taken away from them.

Hai Liangzi and others all looked at Chu Qiguang in horror, and shouted in horror: "You took away our cultivation?"

But Chu Qiguang showed no interest in answering them. It seemed that no one in the Dragon Snake Mountain except Taoist Xuanyuan was qualified to talk to him.

At this moment, a ray of golden light burst out from the bright top of Longshen Mountain, lighting up the whole world like a golden sun. Immediately afterwards, nectar fell from the sky, golden springs gushed from the ground, and bursts of fairy sounds spread among the sea of ​​clouds. Many believers saw They were intoxicated.

A golden figure separated from the sea of ​​clouds in the sky and stepped out step by step.

A solemn voice resounded throughout the world: "It is said that in the Dragon Clan's Tianyuan Zhengfa "The Secret Book of Moving Stars and Changing Dragons", there is an idea that can be formed in one thought. However, in the past ten thousand years, talents from the human and dragon tribes have emerged in large numbers, but there has never been one. People can accomplish this.”

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly, and all the nectar in the sky and golden springs on the ground disappeared. His voice was like a thunder, waking everyone up from their intoxicated state.

"Two years ago, I accidentally traveled to an outer world. This world is famous for its formations. The sect that rules this world covers the entire earth with formations. Then it uses the formations to regulate the energy of mountains and rivers, dig out mountains and rivers, and even make the earth fly. Beyond the sky, wandering between the sun and the moon.”

"I practiced in this world for half a day and understood the secrets of the local formations. I then spent three months correcting the earth formations in this world so that the entire planet could break out of the sky and crisscross the stars. , At this point, the formation has entered the supreme realm."

"After returning to the Buddhist world, I led many masters to integrate what I learned from this trip into the "Secret Book of Moving Stars and Changing Dragons", and finally completed the righteous teaching of this lineage."

"Let's ask Taoist Master to taste it today."

The next moment, the world seemed to shake violently, and then the space burst into golden light, revealing the appearance of the Xuanyuan God Realm.

This is when Chu Qiguang directly and violently tore apart the Xuanyuan God Realm.

In this scene, Taoist Xuanyuan said calmly: "Four thousand years ago, I opened the Xuanyuan Divine Realm to protect the human race from all calamities."

"If you want to avoid it, I will treat you equally."

As he spoke, the Xuanyuan Divine Realm was already exploring and expanding, swallowing Chu Qiguang into it and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Dao Zun Xuanyuan and Chu Qiguang also disappearing, countless believers knelt on the ground, recalling the miracle just now with emotion.

However, Xuanyangzi, the leader of the Tianshi Sect, Haicangzi, the leader of the Sword Academy, and others looked at each other in confusion and were at a loss.

…

In the Xuanyuan God Realm, there is no longer the chaos that it was when Chu Qiguang arrived last time.

He stood among the pavilions and looked at the octagonal pavilion in the distance. A golden figure was sitting cross-legged, overlooking the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

Chu Qiguang came outside the pavilion, looked at the golden figure and asked curiously: "Are you the Human Emperor 'Ji'? Or Taoist Xuanyuan?"

The golden figure said lightly: "Both the Human Emperor's 'traces' and Taoist Xuanyuan have dissipated between heaven and earth. I am Taoist Xuanyuan, a gathering of human souls."

Chu Qiguang's eyes swept over the figure of Taoist Xuanyuan and the entire Xuanyuan God Realm, and he had already made some analysis in his heart: "Well... it feels like a collection of countless people. At least the five righteous methods have reached the Tianyuan realm." . ’

‘This guy… has Tao Ancestor-level combat power. ’

At this moment, the entire God Realm suddenly tightened, as if the heaven and earth had turned into layers of cages surrounding Chu Qiguang.

Taoist Master Xuanyuan said: "You are a talented person from the human race, why do you want to help demons do harm?"

Chu Qiguang said calmly: "In my opinion, the demon family is all human beings. To protect one party and kill the other, your vision is too narrow."

"If I had unified the world four thousand years ago and merged the human race with the demon race, there would have been no more demons by now."

But he saw the light and shadow changing all around, and countless scenes of war and killing between humans and monsters were staged one by one, as if he had returned to the past history.

Chu Qiguang's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "Is this the memory of countless human beings throughout the ages?"

The picture changed again. As the war ended and peace came, countless human races began to work hard.

The voice of Taoist Master Xuanyuan also came: "Since the beginning of the world, no matter whether it is the change of yin and yang, the movement of stars and rivers, the movement of all things in the world will eventually have a price, and the human race is no exception."

"Since ancient times, whether it's a war between humans and monsters or a change of dynasty, even a prosperous era has its price after all."

"The price of the end of the age of great strife is the decline of people's livelihood and the decline of the population."

"As for the prosperous dynasties, the price can often be transferred overseas, especially to the demon clan, so that the benefits of the demon clan can be used to replenish the foundation of our human race."

"The same is true for the prosperous age you are creating now."

This time the picture suddenly changed, and what appeared was scenes from all over the world in recent years, showing the prosperity of the Central Plains, including the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Donghai Prefecture and other places.

Taoist Master Xuanyuan said: "I have been observing the world for the past month. Today, under your governance, the Central Plains can indeed be called a peaceful country and a peaceful people. Whether it is martial arts, Taoism or all walks of life, they are changing with each passing day. This is unprecedented in thousands of years." Prosperity.”

"But even if it is a prosperous dynasty, it can never sit back and relax. Now there are gods from the outside looking at it, and there are also many crises inside."

Chu Qiguang's eyes moved. He did not expect that Taoist Xuanyuan would discuss this issue with him. He said curiously: "Oh? How come there are so many crises?"

Taoist Master Xuanyuan said calmly: "Today's prosperous age depends not only on your governance, but also on the clear governance of the officials and the hard work of the people. But that's all. At most, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but it is absolutely impossible for martial arts, Taoism, and all walks of life to be so advanced with each passing day."

"The reason why this is achieved is extremely important... is because there are overseas monsters who have gathered resources and hundreds of millions of laborers from all over the world in the Central Plains at low prices."

"The gold, stone, jade and dew found in the depths of the East Sea, if transported to the Central Plains a hundred years ago, would have been sold for ten thousand gold. But now they are sold to the Central Plains at a low price."

"Grain from Da Zhu is shipped to the Central Plains in large quantities every year, and you have kept the price down to the bottom."

"Such things...are equivalent to you depriving the overseas demon clan of their share of wealth."

"Overseas monsters come to the Central Plains to work in search of salary and resources, dedicating the essence of their lives to the Central Plains. When they are old and weak, they will not stay in the Central Plains and become a factor of instability. Instead, they will return to their hometown and be controlled by the overseas monsters. The imperial court came to take care of and maintain stability.

This is why the overseas monster countries bear a large cost of labor in the Central Plains and maintain stability in the Central Plains. "

"Such... overseas demon clans are the price of today's prosperity in the Central Plains."

While Dao Zun Xuanyuan was speaking, the light and shadow around him gradually changed from the prosperity of the Central Plains to the poverty of many places in the overseas demon clan.

Taoist Master Xuanyuan stared at Chu Qiguang and said: "If the human race wants to develop rapidly, either the people at the bottom will bear the price, or the demon clan overseas will bear the price."

"Now that you can enslave the demon clan and squeeze them all out of the world, why do you want to promote the theory that humans and demons are one body?"

"Do you know that this is an evil theory that is harmful to the country?"

After Chu Qiguang heard what Taoist Master Xuanyuan said, he was surprised at first, and then nodded clearly: "I thought you only knew the hatred between humans and monsters, and that you were a 'god' kidnapped by thousands of years of grudges. Now it seems I underestimated you."

"It's not surprising if you think about it carefully. If you can reach your level and understand it, the principles of the world will naturally be easy to understand."

"I understand what you mean. There are always certain groups that bear the cost of the rapid development of society. In your opinion, instead of letting the bottom class of the human race bear the cost, it is better to let the human race enslave the demon clan. The human race will develop rapidly, and the demon clan will be wiped out. , squeeze out every ounce of value.”

"but……"

I saw Chu Qiguang's five fingers spread out, and the fluctuations of Qi and blood in his hands emitted a shocking red light. Then the rainbow light changed, as if it transcended the color of all things in the world, turning into an indescribable, indescribable mass, even with Xuanyuan The secret of Tao Ancestor's power is incomprehensible.

Immediately afterwards, the mystery in Chu Qiguang's hand exploded, and time and space shook violently at this moment.

…

"Okay, I agree with what you said."

…

"But I see it differently."

…

In the perception of Dao Zun Xuanyuan, he seemed to split into two... No, the whole world suddenly split into two. The difference between the two worlds lies in Chu Qiguang's answer There is a difference.

This being who has existed in the Han world for thousands of years also looked shocked at this moment and said in disbelief: "What kind of martial arts is this? What did you do?"

Chu Qiguang from both worlds replied at the same time: "Don't be nervous, I just opened up parallel time and space and let you see different possibilities."

"This is a transcendental martial arts that I learned from outside. It's just a small success now, it's nothing.

Dao Zun Xuanyuan still looked at Chu Qiguang with a shocked face, and did not say anything for a long time. It seemed that this punch was beyond the scope of his understanding.

Chu Qiguang's attack obviously suppressed him severely.

The next two Chu Qiguangs in parallel time and space each explained different development directions. The light and shadow around him changed at the same time, as if the entire Xuanyuan God Realm had been kidnapped by him.

One Chu Qiguang uses the human race to squeeze the demon race, while the other Chu Qiguang develops in the direction of integrating humans and demons.

In the changes of light and shadow, different futures were deduced by Chu Qiguang and displayed in front of Taoist Xuanyuan.

However, Xuanyuan Dao Zun no longer cared about this and asked: "What exactly is the super-temporal martial arts? Is this really a martial arts?"

Chu Qiguang from the two worlds said casually: "This is just a tool I use to demonstrate to you. Don't pay attention to this, listen to me carefully..."

Dao Zun Xuanyuan stared closely at Chu Qiguang, but he couldn't help but care about what was happening in two worlds at the same time in front of him.

In Chu Qiguang's deduction, the world split again, from four to eight, and eight to sixteen...

In the surprised gaze of Dao Zun Xuanyuan, more and more deduction results continued to appear in front of him in different parallel worlds, and each one seemed so real.

"Two development directions, a total of 16,523 possibilities. You have seen all the results. The integration of human and monster is the optimal strategy."

"Because in the final analysis, to me, the most important resource in this world...is people. This person can be a human, a monster, or even a demon."

Chu Qiguang walked towards Taoist Xuanyuan in front of him step by step. At the same time, as his fingers slowly tightened, in the eyes of Taoist Xuanyuan, one parallel world after another collapsed and completely dissipated.

Taoist Xuanyuan said thoughtfully: "Knowledge... is the most important resource in the universe, and only intelligent life can discover knowledge, learn knowledge, and absorb knowledge."

"The more powerful an individual is, the more profound knowledge he can master, and he can master the most important resources in the universe."

"And only by reaching the realm of Tianyuan can we slightly determine the fate of this world, fight against the gods outside the world, and carve out a way forward."

"Compared to the Tianyuan realm, no matter what the other 99% of people in this world do, it seems meaningless."

"But we also come from mortals."

"Only a large enough number of mortals can give birth to the Tianyuan realm, or even existences like us."

"For this world, the extremely powerful determine the direction of the world and promote the development of the world, while the remaining mortals...their greatest role is to maintain the diversity of people in sufficient numbers so that no matter how the environment changes, There is always a chance to produce a top master and move the world forward..."

"And the purpose of the dynasty is to maintain the stability of the world and maintain the number of mortals..."

"If you want humans and demons to be one, you want to allow all demons to have ample development opportunities and give birth to the most powerful people. Instead of squeezing the demon clan...to raise humans like pigs."

"Is that what you meant?"

Facing Taoist Xuanyuan's question, Chu Qiguang did not answer, but just moved forward step by step, continuing to collapse one timeline after another.

Taoist Master Xuanyuan asked again: "But you still haven't answered me... what's the price?"

"If everyone becomes a master, who will bear the price?"

"In the development of the world, people are always divided into high and low levels. There are always people at the middle and lower levels who have to do the work. Even if there is a qi and blood machine to do it, what about the people who manage the qi and blood machine?"

"Why don't you just let the demon clan bear the price? Isn't that what you are doing now?"

As the timeline ends again, all the Chu Qiguang merge into one.

He looked at Taoist Master Xuanyuan and said lightly: "Now is just the beginning. As the unity of humans and demons intensifies, and the Central Plains drives the four seas, all overseas demon clan areas will develop in the future, and more Tianyuan strongmen will be born from them."

"As for the price..."

The light and shadow around him changed, that was Chu Qiguang, who stood at the top of the Han world under the nourishment of countless people.

Below Chu Qiguang are thousands of humans and monsters.

And below these thousands of humans and monsters, there are countless Chu Qiguang.

"If I stand at the top, then I will pay the price."

Seeing Chu Qiguang nourished by countless people in the light and shadow, feeding back the common people in the world, and watching the countless living corpses he manipulated become the cornerstone of society's operation.

Taoist Master Xuanyuan finally sighed, knowing that no matter whether the other party was right or wrong, he had no ability to stop Chu Qiguang.

He asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Chu Qiguang replied: "Changing customs and changing customs, humans and demons are one body, and the Heavenly Master's teachings are unavoidable."

So a moment later, under the shocked eyes of many masters of Tianshi Sect, Chu Qiguang and Taoist Master Xuanyuan stepped out of Xuanyuan God Realm hand in hand and returned to the ruins of Zixiao Palace.

Everyone present was shocked when they heard that Taoist Master Xuanyuan was revising the teachings to remove the demon-slaying content in many scriptures and to recruit a group of demon disciples to the mountain to join the religion.

Litsea Liangzi was unwilling to accept it and said: "Tao Zun, this is the meaning of the scriptures that I have taught for thousands of years..."

Chu Qiguang said calmly: "We are not discussing with you now. If you are unwilling to follow the new teachings, then give up the martial arts and Taoism taught by the Heavenly Master and go down the mountain to be a mortal for the rest of your life."

Thinking of the cultivation that they and others had taken away by Chu Qiguang, Hai Cangzi and others were shocked and angry, and could only look at Taoist Xuanyuan with hope in the end.

But Daozu Xuanyuan just lowered his eyes slightly and sighed: "What Chu Qiguang means is what I mean."

Hearing these words, the believers present looked horrified, as if they were pets abandoned by their owners.

In their opinion, Taoist Master Xuanyuan's attitude clearly meant that he had lost his battle with Chu Qiguang in the God Realm.

When they thought that the god they worshiped actually lost to Chu Qiguang and was overwhelmed by the other party, waves of powerlessness, despair, and confusion surged in their hearts...

Xuanyangzi, the leader of the Tianshi Sect, was hesitant at first, but he immediately lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I understand, since it is your will, we will definitely follow it wholeheartedly."

Just when the Tianshi Sect was completely subdued by Chu Qiguang, they were outside the space-time structure that even Taoist Xuanyuan could not penetrate.

Chu Qiguang's fingertips vibrated, and the blood light accompanied by the fluctuations of energy and blood slowly closed together, and one timeline after another that only he could see collapsed.

Among them, there are flickering lights and shadows, including the scene of the battle between Chu Qiguang and Xuanyuan Dao Zun, which caused flooding in three states; the scene of a large number of followers of Tianshi teaching who would rather die than surrender, and all suffered martyrdom; and the scene of Xuanyuan Dao Zun fighting the price of being seriously injured and sealed, and then cursed The sight of killing hundreds of millions of monsters...

All kinds of parallel worlds that Chu Qiguang thought were relatively unsuccessful were annihilated in the endless darkness.

…

The sixteenth level of the Buddha Realm.

boom!

As Chu Qiguang's fingers closed together, the world came to an end that he was satisfied with.

Jiaojiao on the side said strangely: "Brother...don't you want to go to Dragon Snake Mountain?"

Chu Qiguang said: "The discussion has been completed. After Taoist Master Xuanyuan arranges things at Dragon Snake Mountain, he will come to the Buddhist world to participate in the plan of traveling to the outer world to complete the rectification of the Dharma."

Jiaojiao was shocked: "Ah? It's over?"

Chu Qiguang nodded: "After what happened here, the matter outside Tianwai should be settled."

After Chu Qiguang led many top masters to conquer the outer world, the Han world was nourished by the knowledge of the heavens and the world, and the development speed of the entire world increased again and again.

After Chu Qiguang continued to rectify the government, regulate the economy, reform religions, subdue the demons, and appease the conflicts between humans and demons, etc., the efficiency of the imperial court has always been maintained at a high level, all walks of life have sustained and healthy development, and the upper and lower classes are relatively stable. circulation, the conflicts between various ethnic groups have been effectively alleviated, and the research and development of martial arts and Taoism are always on the right track...

In this way, although the world of Han Dynasty is still developing at a high speed, it has never escaped Chu Qiguang's control and continues to move towards the goals he planned. The deployment of various materials also continues to cooperate with his campaign to conquer the outer world.

As people's hearts were continuously gathered by Chu Qiguang, the black and golden fire rings were spinning and flashing, turning into the power of wishful touch and integrating into Chu Qiguang's soul, becoming a martial arts, Taoist, and The talent of supernatural powers nourished Chu Qiguang's improvement in his realm.

So after Xuanyuan Taoist joined the Tianwai Project and Chu Qiguang verified his time-traveling martial arts several times.

He finally came to the Holy Land world again, arriving at the end of the timeline.

This time, Chu Qiguang looked at the figure coming out of the star core and stood in front of him with an equal attitude.

The other party looked at Chu Qiguang with interest: "Interesting ant, after watching it for so long, how much have you learned?"
