Huo Que's story-telling ability is average and she can't grasp the main point. Her voice is so clear and sweet that it doesn't bother anyone.
After Xiaobai listened to Fire Bird's narration, he rolled his eyes and sorted it out, and found that the story was actually quite simple.
The Land of Rise and the Forest of Jinora opened a mutual trade, and established a trade point in the True God Battlefield.
This trade point is not only used to trade goods, but also to collect information.
There was a girl among the people of Fire Bird who liked gossip very much. She was not interested in other things, but was interested in things that could not be seen from a distance, so one day she heard a novel story.
In the far distance, even further than the Forest of Jinora, which can only be reached by crossing "infinite water", there is a world made of sand. In that world, there is an extremely powerful tribe. This tribe calls itself
:nation.
If this kind of gossip falls into a girl's ears, it's a strange story and something to brag about when chatting with others.
The Land of Rise is not a powerful forest, and their understanding of the outside world is not sufficient, so they do not understand the country, or most of the tribes do not understand the meaning of the word "country".
To them, the country is just a larger tribe.
Fire Bird just listened to it as a curiosity and told it casually.
Xiaobai doesn't see it this way. Country and tribe are completely different. They are very different.
Although the Rising Land is now completely included in Xiaobai's rule, and there are prototypes of city-states and countries, they are only prototypes. It will take a long, long time to really become a country.
What does country mean?
It means a high degree of unity, a centralized system, professional soldiers, rapid development... This is far beyond the tribe.
It can be said that if the tribe faces the country, the hope of victory is very small.
Tribes are independent. Each tribe has one chief. The rights in the tribe are independent. Moreover, the cultures formed by different tribes are also different. It can be said that there are as many cultures as there are tribes, and they are not unified.
The systems are also different. There are a lot of system differences between different tribes.
Countries are different. Although there will be regional differences, there will generally be a unified set of things. For example, in the Qin State in the previous life, the books and texts and chariots were on the same track. This is something that tribes cannot do.
Even Xiaobai, as a true god, cannot force them to do this at will.
Of course, Xiaobai has become a true god, and the binding force of the gods on various tribes is constantly increasing. The next step is probably to integrate and form a country.
"My lord, is there anything special about this country?" Hammernose waited for a while and then asked first. He found that Xiaobai had fallen into deep thought since Firebird told the story, and seemed to have thought of something important.
"The country, ha, the country is of course special." Xiaobai sneered.
"What's so special?" Firebird's eyes lit up and he asked jumping up and down.
"Haha...what's so special?" Xiaobai took a deep breath and said slowly: "The country is a unity, under the will of a group of people or one person, unlike us, who just have a bunch of chiefs.
"
"That's nothing special. Wow~" Wolf Spirit rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, then frowned and said.
"Not only that, most countries have quite a large territory, and the place where we rise is probably only a part of a country." Xiaobai glanced at the wolf spirit and continued.
"What?!" All the gods present were stunned when they heard Xiaobai's words.
It seems that the gods present were very proud.
The Forest of Jinora is big, much bigger than the Land of Rise, but they are not united. There are a lot of true gods, and they have to fight from time to time. There are many factions in the forest, fighting each other.
Although the Land of Rise is not as big as the Forest of Jinora, it is united. There is only one true god, the God of Samsara, and all the other gods surround the True God of Samsara.
If we really want to start a war with the Forest of Jinora, the gods of the rising land will definitely not be timid. They can just crush it with the number of warriors. I guarantee that no god system can resist it.
They felt that they were very powerful, and even clamored to kill out, plunder, spread their faith, and draw other gods under Xiao Bai's command.
They could not imagine how powerful the "country" in Xiaobai's words was, and they had never imagined that there would be such a powerful force.
Yelang was so arrogant. Because of his short knowledge, he thought that Tian was the boss, Earth was the second boss, and he was the third boss, so he was re-taught to be a human being.
Xiaobai, who uses modern memory, is not as ignorant as the indigenous gods. He has long suspected that there are countries in this world, but he is surrounded by tribes. The forces in the Forest of Chinora are divided by tribes. In the grasslands,
The power was still divided into tribes, which he gradually ignored.
Now that I think about it, the really stupid person is Li Xiaobai.
The world is huge, but they live in just one corner, so why do they feel like they know the whole world?
The True God is already so powerful, so there are still more powerful gods above the True God. How powerful must the power of these gods be?
You can figure it out if you make a guess, it's not that simple.
The story of Fire Bird reminds Xiaobai that the world outside is still very big, and he has no reason to stop and expand. He must expand.
Not only to be strong, but also to survive and go home.
Xiaobai deeply understands that in this wild world, if you have a kind heart and don't attack others, other people don't think so. They will attack you, steal everything from you, and burn the totem pole.
Don't make assumptions about people who are far away with good intentions.
"The outside world is still very big, and there are too many things we don't know." Xiaobai said to the gods in a deep voice: "We should not feel that we are powerful. Maybe in the eyes of some gods, we are just like insects.
You can trample him to death at will."
"Yes, my lord." The gods did not doubt Xiaobai's words. Xiaobai was their main god and whatever Xiaobai said was whatever he said. Besides, there was nothing wrong with reminding himself and others to be more vigilant.
"We need to know more about the outside world. Send our people out. I need more information!" Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and said heavily.
If possible, he would rather live in a corner and live his own life happily, so that's fine.
But reality does not allow it. He must be vigilant, work hard, and explore to make himself stronger!
In this case, why are you still cowardly? Let’s start the era of great exploration in the Land of Rise. Here we come to the outside world.
"I respect your will, my lord." The gods in the temple lowered their heads and said obediently. (To be continued)
