Chapter 2166 Lessons from the past
The blood-colored inner demon said: "It seems that the same is true. In any case, with the size of only eight or nine worlds on the border of Xinghai, even with the blessing of Nuwa warships and Kunlun ruins, the Starry Federation will never fully take over the Central Sea in a short period of time.
"The hundreds, thousands of rich worlds in the middle of the star sea, will inevitably have one or even several regimes, either old empires, new empires, or other messy countries. No matter what country, the Great Way of Cultivation of Immortality has been passed down in this star sea for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. I am afraid that it will not be completely eliminated in just a few tens and one hundred years.
"Since the Starry Federation is not ready to enter the Central Sea, we can only settle for the second best, hoping to create an empire that suits our appetite."
Li Yao nodded and said, "That's what it means. The contradictions in the real human empire are so sharp. Even without the "White Queen" of Li Linghai, another "Red Queen, Green Queen, and Purple Queen" will appear, and another version of "Respecting the Emperor to Respect the Rebellion and the Shenwu Innovation".
"A storm that swept across the center of the entire star sea seems inevitable.
"For me, on the one hand, I hope that after this storm, a new empire that is more in line with the interests of the Starry Federation will appear; on the other hand, I also hope that ordinary people will not suffer too much losses and suffering in this storm, and they can even get some benefits in the fall of the four major electoral families!"
The blood-colored inner demon smiled and said, "Of course, if we can really establish supreme martial merits and become an important member of the new imperial government in this storm of "respecting the emperor and seeking rebellion, and reforming the divine martial arts", hahahaha, it's also very majestic to think about it!
"No matter how we say it is, they are all old monsters in the transformation of God, and they are also considered to be the closest sect of His Highness. If her crazy plan is really successful, there seems to be no need to hide her past. Don't say it, we are really likely to be a "highest minister"!
"Otherwise, Ding Lingdang is the Speaker of the Starry Federation, so let's help the queen establish a 'new empire parliament' and create an empire speaker Dangdang?"
"Well……"
Li Yao thought for a while and said, "You know that I have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and I have no interest in "the highest-ranking minister". It is best to stay away from me."
"But then again, I do want to observe at the closest distance how this storm that swept the empire happened.
"Do you know? After listening to the queen, I have been thinking about the person Wu Yingqi, the Black Star Emperor.
"What kind of person is Wu Yingqi?
"More than a hundred years ago, when I first heard Su Changfa and the others talk about the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi in Kunlun ruins, he seemed to be a cruel, cruel and unkind person who could do everything for his power.
"The information I got from Firefly later further deepened this impression. That was a purely evil bad guy!
"But Di Feiwen, the deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet, has a different view. It is not blind worship, but has carefully analyzed some policies of the era of the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi. At least for businessmen like them who do not have much background, the era of the Black Star Emperor is full of opportunities and changes. It is possible that the golden years that can reach the sky will be much better than the current depressing environment where the empire is monopolized by nobles and chaebols.
"To this day, the Queen said this again. Although there must be an exaggeration, it may not be without certain reasons.
"There are many different opinions and their own opinions, which makes me really confused about what the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi in history looks like."
The blood-colored inner demon yawned and said, "History is a colorful bitch, and there is no truth in his mouth. What do you think she looks like? What do you think of her? But no matter how you open your heart to her or think of her heart and soul, you can't figure out her truest look and think about these issues. Wouldn't it be a mediocre person?"
Li Yao smiled slightly: "Maybe you are right, I figured it out. It doesn't matter what the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi himself looks like. Maybe he is really a heinous devil, but this kind of moral evaluation has no meaning to a founding emperor.
"What is the difference between the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi and the founding emperors of so many powerful dynasties in history? For example, what is the difference between the founding emperors of the Dagan Dynasty of the ancient sage world?
"Maybe when they first established their own hegemony, they all had ambitions and wanted to wipe out the accumulated problems that had been passed, create unprecedented great achievements, and lead their people and civilization to one peak after another.
"I don't believe it. The original intention of the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi was to build an evil empire that cruelly exploited ordinary people. That's too unclassified, right?
"But human power is sometimes poor, and neither their lives nor their careers can resist the passage and erosion of time. No matter how brilliant the palace is, it will be decayed and collapsed. No matter how great the ambitions and ideas are, they will inevitably be swallowed by the deepest selfish desires in human nature!"
The blood-colored inner demon said: "Uh, you suddenly played so deeply, as if you were reciting a poem and I had goose bumps. What do you want to say?"
Li Yao was silent for a long time and said, "I want to say that I was a little scared when I saw the real human empire look like this now."
The blood-colored inner demon said, "What are you afraid of? It is because the empire is in chaos and chaos, so you have no time to take out your hands to fight the Federation. If it were a solid empire with the same desire as the top and bottom, it would have long since beaten the Federation!"
Li Yao took a deep breath and said quietly: "I'm afraid, I will become another Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi."
The blood-colored inner demon said "uh", and was stunned for a while before saying, "This, I think you are worrying too much. There should be a limit for shamelessness. No matter whether the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi is the right or evil, even if it is a peerless evil demon with a huge sin, they have at least unified the hundreds of worlds in the center of the Star Sea, and are the second person under the "Emperor" in the past ten thousand years!
"You are the "Supreme of the Three Realms" on the edge of the Star Sea. This is what your disciple Jin Xinyue tried his best to brag about. In the official history of the empire, he is probably a character like the "Bar King, Wolf Lord" of Yelang Kingdom. Don't be afraid. Really, just try hard, and you can't become the Black Star Emperor even if you have been working for a thousand years. Don't worry about this!"
"Learn the spirit!"
Li Yao said, “I am not talking about merit and size, but about…the problems faced by everyone.
"Putting aside the concept of the Great Way of Cultivation and the Great Way of Cultivation, what is the difference between today's Starry Federation and the Real Human Empire thousands of years ago, or the Star Sea Republic thousands of years ago? They are both just born, full of vitality, enterprising and prosperous, without carrying too much burden from the past, nor are they too powerful interest groups, and even have dividends in all aspects, which can accelerate the development of the country, improve the welfare of the people, and ease conflicts in all aspects.
“But, what about hundreds of years later?
"What will happen when the Kunlun ruins, the dividends such as the Nuwa battleship are exhausted, and the interest groups are so huge that they awaken their greed and ambitions?
“It can be seen from the example of the demise of the Star Sea Republic.
"Whether Su Changfa, Di Feiwen, Li Linghai and other immortal cultivators, or Cui Lingfeng, Tang Zhengdong and other firefly cultivators, they all agreed that the late Xinghai Republic was indeed terminally ill and had no cure to save.
"In other words, the 'cultivator' is not a magical medicine to cure all diseases. It is not that if the three words 'cultivator' are engraved on the forehead, it can be invincible for all poisons and always ensure purity, light and justice.
"Cultivators will also be corrupt and degenerate, just like those cultivators in the late stage of the Star Sea Republic, even to the point where ordinary people would rather choose to support the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi than support them.
"Perhaps, whether it is cultivation or immortal cultivation, while they are hostile to each other, they are also facing a common enemy, that is, something deepest in human nature.
"Who can guarantee that the cultivators of the Starry Glory Federation will never change? The Starry Glory Federation will not become the real human empire at the end of the Starry Sea Republic and today. This look like a ghost? Will there be no powerful and aristocratic class that can devour the country?"
The blood-colored inner demon said: "I'm going to ask you this. To be honest, your 'Li Yao Group' is the largest powerful and aristocratic family in the federal world now!"
"Yes, that's why I said, I'm very afraid that I will become the next 'Black Star Emperor'!"
Li Yao said, "Think about it, I have only been away from the Federation for a hundred years. Jin Xinyue has a way to brag about me as the "Supreme of the Three Realms, the Father of the Federation". Of course, I also enjoy the filial piety of my disciples, but I have a limit on everything. After all, I am so indifferent to fame and fortune, idle clouds and wild heirs, a low-key and calm person. The hat of the "Supreme of the Three Realms" is almost the same. No matter how big it is, I really can't stand it.
"Suppose in a few hundred years, the Starry Federation will really have the opportunity to march into the center of the Star Sea and establish a more glorious hegemony than today's empire. At that time, I was dead or searching for the earth again. This "Li Yao Group" still exists, and it has deformed and expanded, becoming another form of the "Electoral Family", which has flattened me to be far above the Black Star Emperor... "The Lord of Stars, the King of Kings" and so on, and then I pulled the tiger's skin and held the big flag, and under my banner, I just took the blame on me, and finally I was angry and resentful. A new hero will overthrow the Federation and write me as the evil devil in a new history textbook. Wouldn't I be very wronged?"
The blood-colored inner demon was stunned for a long time and said, "Yes, after you said this, I actually feel a little sympathetic to the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi!"
"The Three Kingdoms War between the Federation, Empire and Holy Alliance will last at least a few hundred years, thousands of years, right? But I definitely can't wait for so long. As long as the balance of power between the three parties is completely formed, I will definitely go and find the earth and my original origin."
