In ancient times, the Kyushu Realm was not called the Kyushu Realm. Various countries and ethnic groups were constantly fighting, killing, and dying... Hatred spread on the earth, and the war burned almost every corner of the earth. Even though some decent monks worked hard
The earth maintains the order of the earth, and their power seems so pale and powerless in the face of the war that spreads across the earth.
It was a cruel era, it was a crazy era, it was an era when demons and evil sects ruled the earth, it was an era when everyone was in danger, and it was an era when just living in peace was the greatest luxury!
No one knows how long that era lasted, but everyone knows how that era ended. At the end of that era, a legendary figure appeared. He was Li Xin, who was called the "Holy Emperor" by later generations.
hero.
Several thick books could be written about Li Xin's story, and that's just a count of official records, not including folklore. His Majesty the Holy Emperor left behind countless legendary stories, and his deeds were countless.
But if you want to sum up the Holy Emperor's lifelong achievements in one sentence, it is very simple, just six words. To put an end to the troubled times and to stabilize the Nine Provinces. It took Li Xin sixty years, either to convince him with reason or to use benefits.
impressed,
Or surrendered by force, and gradually wiped out all the forces on the earth. Starting from the sea in the east, to the deserts and mountains in the west, to the Shiwan Mountains in the south, and to the prairie in the north, this huge world was divided into Kyushu, ending the era of endless wars.
.
In the process of bringing peace to the troubled times, he tried his best to use milder means to eliminate the conflicts between various ethnic groups and reduce killings as much as possible. But after all, there were inevitably some stubborn people, and the knife was inevitably stained with blood.
This is a matter of course, and anyone can understand it unless they are stupid from reading benevolence, righteousness and morality.
There are some tribes among them that have strong power but are firmly opposed to unification. However, they themselves are not extremely evil people, and some even have a good reputation among the people. For such enemies, Li Xin does not follow the principle of "killing and killing"
The "decisive" spirit was directly extinguished, and instead they were exiled to some independent small worlds, and then the channels leading to these small worlds from the Kyushu Realm were destroyed, allowing them to live and die there in vain.
Historians have always been quite controversial about this approach of the Holy Emperor. Some people think it is the utmost benevolence, some think it is hypocrisy, some think it is unwilling to do anything, and some think it is a helpless move. But no matter what, Li Li
Xin has already done this, and it doesn't make much sense whether he agrees or disagrees.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and everyone thought that this matter had been settled long ago, and there were no more changes. But no one expected that after tens of thousands of years, one of those small worlds that was cut off from contact at the beginning would
, actually connected to the Kyushu realm again.
Moreover, the world is still falling into destruction, and the icy aura of the destruction of the world is affecting the Kyushu realm through the boundary gate.
Fortunately, Wu Jie and the others are not the kind of fanatical causalists. Otherwise, they would have been muttering nonsense like "the cause in the past is the result today", thinking that the severe drought in the Kyushu Realm in the future is retribution...
…
"Those are the aliens who were expelled from the Kyushu realm in ancient times!" Du Xin said with certainty, "When I listened to them just now, I felt a little familiar. I seemed to have heard them somewhere... This is the northern accent from ancient times.
It is roughly equivalent to the dialect spoken in the so-called 'glacier and frozen soil' region farther north in the Eastern Qi Kingdom today."
"Although it is not clear whether the people there still speak such a language today, at least in the era of the Great Light Sect, there were Dharma Protector Generals who lived there for several years and had many interactions with them - at that time they
That’s what he said.”
"According to the records in the classics, there was once a tribe called 'Ji', who was expelled from Kyushu because they opposed the Holy Emperor's unification of the world. But the classics did not say that they were exiled to such a world on the verge of destruction...
…”
"It seems that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is not as kind as many stories say." Du Ruo's eyes swept across the depressed ice city, looking at the empty rooms and the old, weak, women and children, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Is being exiled to such a world any better than death? In my opinion, it's even worse than death!"
"Perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, this world was not so miserable." Wu Jie frowned and subconsciously explained to the Holy Emperor, "But this is all in the past. What is important is the present... Now the world has changed again
If it is connected to the Kyushu Realm, will this aura of world destruction spread from the Realm Crossing Gate to our Kyushu Realm? Will it have a fatal impact on our Kyushu Realm?"
"It's not that... for the Daqian world, many small worlds are destroyed almost every day, but I have never heard that the destruction of the small world will affect the big world - although your Kyushu world is not that big, at least it is bigger than the big world.
This world is so big. Even if this world is completely destroyed, it will not cause fatal harm to the Kyushu realm."
"It still has some influence, right?"
"Of course, the world-destroying cold will flow out along the boundary gate, which will bring about a large-scale cold wave. But even if there is no such cold wave, the Kyushu boundary will inevitably have an early one. Is there a big difference between a hot drought or a cold drought?"
Wu Jie pondered for a moment, put the question aside for the time being, and asked again: "So...if this world is destroyed, all living things here will also die, right?"
"This is natural. If the world perishes, all living things will naturally become extinct."
Wu Jie sighed and looked around the ice city.
Even if he didn't consider other living beings, with the tens of thousands of people in this ice city alone, he couldn't just watch so many people die with peace of mind. If there was nothing he could do, that would be fine. If he could think of some way, he would always have to
Try to save it.
But...it's not that easy to save it.
Wanting to prevent the destruction of a world is obviously a fantasy. Wu Jie thought for a long time and only came up with the idea of "migrating the residents of this world to the Kyushu boundary".
But, is that really good?
He thought silently, pondering the possible consequences.
He has estimated the population of Ice City. If calculated based on the number of children and elderly people, the entire population of Ice City should be one hundred thousand or more. In such a harsh environment, the number of elderly people should be relatively small.
; The number of children is smaller than that of the elderly, which may be affected by the world itself.
One hundred thousand bodies are so strong that they are beyond imagination. Even the teenagers are close to the acquired state. The adults are likely to be all innate masters... The combat power of such a powerful nation may have surpassed the combined strength of all the countries in the Kyushu realm. If they are allowed to enter the Kyushu realm
, I'm afraid that in a few years, they will burn the war across the entire Kyushu realm, and the number of people who will die by then will definitely be far more than 100,000!
In order to save this group of aliens, the Kyushu Realm faced a cruel war. The dead were far more than the population of this realm... Although Wu Jie did not agree with the practice of "counting human lives by numbers", at least he could still settle the score.
.
Killing more people in order to save a few people is not only unwise, but also not a benevolent way!
What should we do? Can we come up with a way to get the best of both worlds?
Wu Jie's eyes wandered around the ice city, lost in thought...
