Di Feiwen smiled slightly and said, "It is better to say that the empire is a mess of sand, the stars and seas are too vast. Judging from the existing technology of human beings, it is far beyond the limit that a unified government can rule efficiently.

"My king, you should know that the reason why human civilization can be distributed in the three thousand worlds is not entirely due to our own conquest, but also the "spreading" of the Pangu civilization and the Nuwa civilization. In other words, we did not "naturally" expand to the three thousand worlds, but were "published" in a very short time with their help.

"Then, after the collapse of Pangu and Nuwa civilizations and the communications and transportation they left behind were all damaged, "a bunch of sand, isolated and helpless" should be the norm. Any unified government or dynasty is a special case.

"In fact, with the current technological and social development level of human civilization, it is the limit that a central government can effectively rule over a dozen or twenty worlds at most. Speaker Ding must have a deep understanding of this."

"That's right."

Ding Lingdang seemed to have thought of something extremely troubled, frowned and said, "In our federal perspective, even if we have developed star sea jumping technology and ultra-long-range communication capabilities, whether it is jumping or communication, it consumes a lot of resources. Every day, astronomical crystals are sent to various star ports and ultra-long-range communication base stations, and they are wasted in vain between the rippling power fluctuations.

"Even so, the Federation is still out of reach for resource planets in remote star fields, and it is extremely difficult to implement effective rule. Many times, the sectarian management system that has to rely on local sects to maintain basic order is certainly well now, but in time, when these sects have mixed relationships and deeply rooted interests in the local area, who knows what will happen?

"Another, the vastness of the universe and the power of human beings themselves have caused ever-changing environments on habitable planets, and even the changes in human subspecies. For example, a primitive world like the Tree Sea Realm and a heavily polluted wasteland world like the Netherworld, the management method cannot be exactly the same. Considering different customs and humanities, it is extremely difficult to achieve a unified law.

"Therefore, the current federation actually has a strong regional autonomy color.

"Even if more and more worlds join the Federation in the future, just like the Ancient Saint Realm, because they are farther from the core area of ​​the Federation, their environment and race are more complex, it is basically difficult to be directly governed by the central government, and the possibility of regional autonomy is relatively high."

When Ding Lingdang took over the "Patriot Organization" from Lu Zui, he was a firm regional autonomyist, believing that the Federation was unlikely to rely on a powerful army to rule the starry sea, and could only spread the ideas of cultivators throughout the universe.

Her point of view coincides with Di Feiwen.

Di Feiwen nodded and said, "Speaker Ding is right. The problem you are facing is the problem encountered by the empire. Although the empire is much stronger than the federal government in terms of comprehensive national strength, there is no essential difference between Star Sea Jump and Ultra-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long-Long

"If it is the limit to the effective rule of the ten great worlds of the Federation, then the most powerful interest group of the Empire, with the most advanced technology, that is, effectively dominates the twenty great worlds of the world, no matter how many, it will be indigestion.

"Even the strongest and cruel dinosaurs have been growing throughout their lives, and their size has their limits. An overly large empire needs to be ruled by an ever-expanding bureaucratic system and army. However, the expansion of the bureaucratic system and army will in turn suck the empire dry and crush it. This is the case with the Xinghai Empire, and isn't the real human empire the same?"

Li Yao couldn't help but smile and said, "Then use ideas to inspire you. Don't the cultivators of the empire also have the noble concept of 'everything for human civilization'?"

Di Feiwen also laughed: "The so-called 'noble concept' is an extremely rare luxury product to search the entire universe. In this regard, everyone is just a slight sensation, and it's just that 'big brother won't laugh at the second brother'!

"It's like in the Starry Federation, although the propaganda caliber is called the "war sword of human civilization" and wants to fight for "protecting ordinary people", how many cultivators are truly unfavorable, specializing in benefiting others, sacrifice their lives and selflessly devoted everything? My king, even you or Speaker Ding, can you really have no selfish desires? If you want to nationalize your Yaoshi Group now, will you be indifferent and have no complaints?"

Li Yao and Ding Lingling looked at each other and smiled and said, "There is no need to force us with big words. Of course, we are not that noble anymore. Apart from the puppets of the Holy Alliance, looking at the entire universe, who can have no selfish desires at all?"

"That's it."

Di Feiwen said, "In an ideal state, the battle between the Federation and the Empire is a battle of ideas between 100% of cultivators and 100% of cultivators, a battle between good and evil, and a battle between the great way. But in fact, both sides have a common enemy, not the Holy Alliance, but ‘human nature’.

"The cultivator has human nature, and the cultivator has human nature. This is the biggest difference between us and the Holy Alliance.

"The first element of human nature is selfishness. Genes are selfish. You must pass on yourself at all costs. This "selfish gene" conflicts with the "noble concept" of the cultivator, and the result is that the "idea" is destined to be defeated.

Li Yao asked with great interest: "What do you say?"

"Theoretically, there is no problem with the concept of "survival of the fittest and survival of the weak". As long as you can truly treat everyone equally and ensure the smooth flow of the upward channel and the harsh elimination mechanism, it is fair, but in real life, this is simply impossible."

Di Feiwen said, "It is a cultivator who is selfish, whether it is a cultivator or an immortal. Even if he keeps saying, "As long as he is a weak person who cannot awaken his spiritual roots, even his descendants will be eliminated mercilessly," how many people can truly do it with a heart of heart?

"What's more, in a world where the strong prey on the weak, everyone may betray every minute. Those with a slightly higher true loyalty are their own relatives and offspring. Even the "original person" who cannot awaken the spiritual roots can arrange some secret work to "eliminate" their own people in vain. Isn't it weakening themselves and giving others a favor?

"Rules are determined by people, and loopholes that can be exploited can always be found. Perhaps this system was strictly implemented at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, but as time goes by, all the wealthy families have expanded rapidly, and they are gradually becoming big. It is simply a fool to rely on the four words "the strong prey on the weak" to achieve efficient allocation and utilization of resources."

Li Yao said: "What about the emperor? Do the emperor have no objection to this situation where aristocratic independence, warlord separatism, and a big slaughter?"

"Don't imagine the power of the emperor too strongly. Not every emperor is the former 'Black Star Emperor'."

Di Feiwen said, "Even the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi has to rely on many wealthy families that have been deeply rooted since the era of the Star Sea Republic to seize the hegemony of the universe.

"In the depths of the empire, there is even a very secret saying that the Black Star Emperor was just the "spokesperson" launched by these old wealthy families of the Star Sea Republic. In order to completely consolidate their illegal plundering interests, an "emperor" was created. However, the emperor's ambition and strength were greatly beyond their expectations and were a little out of control.

"Although the Black Star Emperor was out of control, his descendants were not so strong. For thousands of years, these empire wealthy families have used various means to provoke discord and create conflicts within the royal family, and use the "throne" as bait to trigger internal struggles among the Wuying clan, taking the opportunity to consolidate their power, and undermine the entire "Ji Tian Realm, Tian Ji Xing".

"To this day, the four most powerful families have even been awarded the title of "Emperor Selection". Think about it, if even the emperor had to rely on them to choose, how could they restrict them?"

Li Yao sighed: "This seems to be different from the empire situation that Su Changfa told me in the past."

"Su Changfa is an academic school. He is a professor at the 'Imperial University'. He is nourished by the ivory tower. He naturally accepts the empire's seduction and publicity."

Di Feiwen lowered his head deeply and said, "But his subordinates are small vendors who have struggled at the bottom of the empire. In theory, they don't know how their subordinates should be. They just say everything they see.

"In short, when the Black Wind Fleet left the Empire a hundred years ago, this was the situation of the Empire. The dozens and twenty great worlds adjacent to the "Ji Tian Realm and Tian Ji Xing" were nominally directly under His Majesty the Emperor. The bureaucratic organization sent by the court was directly governed by them. Of course, the intervention of the four "Emperor Selection" families is indispensable.

"The thirty or forty thousand worlds on the periphery are the hereditary territories of the four electoral families. Sometimes there may be some royal fiefs. On average, each family ruled at least seven or eight worlds. According to the strength of the force, there is only the duty to pay taxes and send troops to the court, and it is difficult for the court to interfere in their internal affairs.

"The hundreds of worlds on the periphery are divided into more slimmings. Basically, each world has a ruler. If some worlds have two or three habitable planets, each planet will have a ruler. These people are either hereditary nobles, emerging warlords, or old rulers who voluntarily surrendered on the road to conquer the universe. For example, when the Black Wind Fleet attacks, if the Federation chooses to surrender, it is likely that several world masters will be selected to maintain local autonomy. This is not the empire's kind heart, but purely what Speaker Ding said just now, it is beyond reach.

"The rule methods of these peripheral worlds are ever-changing, and they do whatever they want, and may not blindly suppress them. Some worlds will adopt a policy of gentleness and have relatively mild ruling methods; but if they are cruel and unkind, their rule is far more cruel than those of the emperor's direct jurisdiction and the emperor's election."
