Although the Dark Council's invasion of Penglai Island ended with Zheng Dong's strong suppression, the impact of this incident has just begun to ferment.
This time there was a mass demonstration in Linghai City, and hundreds of Qi Refining monks were flying around in front of their heads. In the modern era of advanced Internet, this matter cannot be covered up at all.
Ordinary people originally had doubts about the authenticity of Honghuang, because no matter how much they heard, it was all hearsay, and not even a single photo of Honghuang had ever been revealed.
Although some non-human videos have been leaked before, this is the first time that hundreds of Qi Refining monks are flying in the air in front of everyone.
This time, the video of hundreds of monks flying in the air broke the Internet.
Whether in China or abroad, everyone is talking about it.
As for the cause of this incident, the Dark Council's invasion of Penglai Island caused even more uproar.
Countless Chinese netizens and European netizens are fighting each other across the Internet.
Of course, the attitude of netizens does not matter. In the final analysis, they are just a group of people who eat melons.
But this incident caused an uproar among the prehistoric players.
Compared to the indignation of Chinese players, there was actually a voice supporting the Dark Parliament on the prehistoric forum.
"Why are all the resources monopolized by Chinese players? It is too difficult for us to obtain resources in the wild."
"The Dark Council just did what we wanted to do but didn't dare to do. I think they are not shameful bandits, but a group of heroes who dare to fight."
"If I achieve extraordinary things in the future, I will definitely do the same thing as the Dark Council!"
"That's right, since you are seeking the Tao, why be afraid of death!"
"..."
Penglai Island.
In a majestic ancient building.
Li Zhouji sat in front of the computer, looking at the comments on the Honghuang Forum, with an ugly face.
He did not expect that the Dark Council's invasion of Penglai Island would cause such a big backlash.
But if you think about it carefully, the root cause of all this is actually the unfair distribution of cultivation resources.
Chinese players have too many cultivation resources.
In the ancient world, not only the Danxia Sect's assessment quotas, but also various spiritual stones, elixirs, and spiritual material resources were all monopolized by Chinese players.
Especially Shuiyue Xiandao, it is almost run like an iron barrel by Chinese players.
Not only are ordinary foreign players unable to obtain resources on Shuiyuexian Island, but they are often attacked and killed by Chinese players when they are active in the wild.
You must know that if you die in the prehistoric era, you will lose a realm, and losing a realm in the prehistoric world is ultimately a loss of time and resources.
As a result, the resentment in the hearts of foreign players is even greater.
This attack by the Dark Council seems like a crazy act, but it is actually an explosion of accumulated resentment.
Li Zhouji knew that if this situation was not resolved, the dispute between Chinese monks and foreign monks would not end in reality.
But it is simply impossible for Chinese players to hand over their benefits to others.
So, on the surface, this seems to be an unsolvable contradiction.
resource!
Not to mention extraordinary ones, the wars on earth since ancient times have all been fought around resources in the final analysis.
The strong possess more resources, while the weak are unwilling to be seized of resources, thus evolving into today's world structure.
...
The imperial capital of China.
Investigation team headquarters.
An emergency meeting is being held.
Different from the previous meeting, this meeting was attended by not only the top brass of the investigation team, but also all the Qi Refining monks from the investigation team.
Sitting at the head of the conference room is still the leader of the investigation team, Tang Hua.
He cleared his throat, glanced at everyone, and said calmly: "This time the Dark Parliament attacked Penglai Island. Although it did not cause much damage, everyone has seen the subsequent effects."
Tang Hua paused for a moment, "The prehistoric forum is now full of voices. We Chinese players are too strong in prehistoric times, and it is difficult for ordinary foreign players to obtain resources. Everyone is talking about what good solutions there are."
"Team leader, it's not like we, China, started the Great Wilderness. The competition for resources depends on everyone's ability. Their foreign players are not very capable, so we have to let them do it."
"that is."
"Brother Taoist is right, Danxia Sect's disciple assessment quota is absolutely impossible to open to foreign players.
It’s not that we don’t agree, after the last incident of Anlu’s defection from the Danxia Sect, Xiao Huifeng has issued an order that no barbarian disciples will be recruited in the future no matter what.”
"yes!"
"..."
Tang Hua looked at the qi refining monks below who were making objections, and felt helpless in his heart.
He is not a monk, but he can imagine the importance of cultivation resources to a monk.
Ordinary people can start wars and fight to the death for survival resources, not to mention the cultivation resources of monks.
If you use the cultivation resources of monks, any monk will fight you tooth and nail. This is no exaggeration.
After a moment of silence, Tang Hua said slowly: "I know that no one is willing to hand over the resources they have obtained to others. If this continues, it will be the first time that the Dark Council invades Penglai Island, but it will definitely not be the last time."
After hearing this, a monk below said: "Team leader, this time the Dark Council was able to invade Penglai Island. On the one hand, the Extraordinary Association fell into the opponent's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Secondly, there are too few Qi Refining monks on Penglai Island.
If more Qi Refining monks are stationed on Penglai Island, or masters like Senior Brother Zheng are allowed to sit on Penglai Island, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
After hearing this, Tang Hua understood what everyone meant. He wanted to accompany them and asked them to give up their cultivation resources, so there was no need to talk!
This is still an internal meeting of the investigation team, and the Qi Refining monks present are all "family members".
If "my family" has this attitude, one can imagine the attitude of the Chaozhou Association and other Qi cultivators.
But Tang Hua was not surprised by everyone's attitude. He was just wondering if there was a best-of-both-worlds solution that could resolve this conflict.
...
Qinling Mountains.
In a Taoist palace shrouded in clouds and mist.
Li Zhouji and Zheng Dong sat opposite each other across the chessboard.
"Smelly chess basket!"
Zheng Dong threw away the chess piece in his hand and scolded with a smile, "Tell me, what's the matter? I'm afraid you didn't come to me for any reason to play chess."
Li Zhouji cupped his hands and said awkwardly: "Brother Dong, have you read the Honghuang Forum?"
"Know a thing or two."
Zheng Dong picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip, "But cultivation resources are the foundation of a monk, and it is not a problem that can be solved in a few words.
Besides, who can represent the opinions of everyone on this matter? Qi-refining monks? Qi-refining monks are just forerunners, can they represent the thoughts of the body-training monks?"
"I know!" Li Zhouji said silently, "I just don't want everyone to fight to the death for cultivation resources."
"That's because you don't lack resources. Do you know how players who lack resources feel?"
Zheng Dong put down his teacup and looked at the clouds outside the window, "Seekers like you and me, since we embark on this road, we should be mentally prepared. Do you still remember the first time you killed the Shadow Wolf?"
Hearing Zheng Dong talk about how he took him to hunt the monsters on Xinhuo Island, Li Zhouji fell into deep thought. Although it was not long ago, he felt that it was a long time ago.
At that time, he would break a tael of silver into two halves and get a Huanglong Pill. He would be so excited that he could not sleep all night.
He lacked skills, resources, and everything. He fought hard all the way! Competing with people and monsters! There was blood all the way!
And when did this kind of day end?
Yes, it started when I joined the Danxia Sect.
After becoming an outer disciple of Danxia Sect's Xiao Huifeng, he no longer lacked resources. Especially after Zheng Dong became a direct disciple of Danxia Sect and established Penglai Island, he no longer lacked resources for cultivation in reality.
He became lax, in other words, he became like a saint. He actually wanted all the monks to have enough cultivation resources, so that everyone would not have to fight for resources.
But how is this possible?
Seeing Li Zhouji's gloomy eyes, Zheng Dong changed the subject: "Of course, although the battles in the prehistoric times cannot be changed, there are still ways to avoid the fighting in reality."
