In ancient times, gods were superior to all living beings.
Even the lofty king must surrender to the great power of the gods.
Even kings like those in myths are still like this.
The First Emperor who forged the Twelve Golden Men, the invincible King Arthur holding the Sword in the Stone, and the King of Heroes who kept conquering...
These unruly existences in history have only received the power bestowed by the gods.
Under such circumstances, those in power have no reason not to worry about their future.
Before the revival of spiritual energy, the threshold of asset prices skyrocketed, and the term "class solidification" was known to many ordinary people.
At that time, many people said that the current social class was becoming increasingly solidified and that it was a social disease.
In fact, class solidification is the original normal state of society.
Take Dongci as an example. For the past two thousand years, most of the time it was a very stable society.
In a stable society, it is not that there are no channels for rising class, but this channel is controlled.
An era of drastic class changes is often an era of drastic change.
For the young people of this era, their ancestors and fathers have lived in such an era.
At that time, Dongci experienced unprecedented changes in its history.
In every big family, there are a few people whose lives have been full of ups and downs, enough to make movies out of.
But ordinary people can easily overlook one thing, that is, even in turbulent times, the winners are mostly princes and generals.
Apart from anything else, Chen Sheng, who once called out the princes and generals to Xiang Ning, was not an ordinary citizen.
Chen Sheng is also called She. These four words are enough to explain everything.
Although there are people like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang who came from the grassroots, their own existence is a kind of existence that ordinary people have no time to look up to.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are children of luck.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang raised armies at the same time, there must be 80,000 troops if not 100,000, right?
But how many will be granted the title of marquis in the end?
With such luck, you can win the lottery if you buy a hundred identical lottery tickets!
There are also heroes who do not read the Three Kingdoms era. There are probably more than a thousand people whose names are left in official and unofficial histories.
Among them was Yan Liangwen Chou who was slaughtered when he came out like this!
But these more than a thousand people were fought out from nearly 50 million people in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
On average, only one person out of 40,000 people will leave his name in history.
This ratio is definitely not higher than the ratio of prefecture-level city officials to billionaires in this era!
One of 40,000 people, what kind of luck, quality, and ability does that represent?
The rules of the game of Confucian rule have always been to distinguish between classes and each class should do its own thing. Dong Ci has always been Confucian inside and outside the law, and the generals and ministers are just cakes painted for the common people.
It's just that compared to the upward path of people who kill people, set fires, and get recruited in turbulent times. In stable times, the way to rise from the bottom through learning, starting a business, and being an examiner is narrow, but it exists.
As long as you don't take risks on this channel, the worst thing you can do if you fail is that all your efforts will be wasted and you will be pushed back to the bottom.
In turbulent times, there are many channels for advancement, but if you fail, you may end up in jail, or you may end up dead.
After the power to formulate rules and control force is obtained by a small group of people, there are not many channels for promotion for those who come after you.
And this promotion channel is still controlled by a small group of people, which will lead to the so-called solidification of classes.
Descendants of the upper class have a limited lower limit but no upper limit, which can be called cheating.
What's more, the elite will strengthen this mechanism by taking care of each other's children. Taking care of others is equivalent to taking care of themselves. This has long been an unspoken rule in the castle.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the higher up people are, the more they like to use blood to distinguish people. At the top, people almost only recognize blood. This kind of wall is extremely high. Blood is inevitable.
It is the nature of animals for a person to leave wealth and power to the next generation. The so-called upper class relies on blood relationships, which essentially means that there are not many top elites, and marriages and the like are basically the same class flow.
Therefore, the top elites will eventually form a "village" of relatives.
And when a group of people like this face the resurgence of spiritual energy, the first thing they feel is nervousness.
The revival of spiritual energy will bring unprecedented changes to the entire world, and even the core power may be reshuffled as a result.
It is precisely because of this that the senior officials tacitly concealed the secret of spiritual energy recovery. While maintaining social stability, they also secretly accumulated their own power.
After the secret of spiritual energy recovery is revealed to the world, the top management will still be the top management, and they will still have the capital to set the rules of the game.
However, the revival of spiritual energy was too violent.
Before they could relax, the presence of the gods arrived.
If Zhang Tong is just an independent god, a strong man in Africa.
Then those ancient existences are the sharp swords hanging over the heads of all high-level officials.
Even in Dongci, the Taoist sect, the Buddhist sect, and the elders within the sect will not inform the senior officials in advance.
Not to mention, no one knows what the attitude of these gods will be like after being locked up in the spiritual world for so long.
Under such circumstances, the top management is more afraid of the changes of the times than anyone else.
But there is nothing you can do if you are afraid. Gods will come sooner or later. What the top management can do now is to prevent them from coming as much as possible, and at the same time cultivate their own power of gods.
The Donghuang of Dongci, the vampires of Europe, the magicians of Britain, Citigroup's Unit 1... In fact, these people are all characters who came into being to cope with the great changes in the future.
Qin Long, the Eastern Emperor, was an official, and he had been educated to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic since he was a child. Even if he became a god, he could control this god as long as he upheld national justice.
Vampires in Europe are representatives of the ancient nobility. There are constant blood ties between these ancient nobility.
British magicians have established magic schools. While cultivating magicians, they are also cultivating power for the British officialdom.
After all, the most powerful magician is of royal blood!
There is also Citigroup's No. 1 machine. Citigroup has no civilization and heritage. All it can do is use technology to create new gods.
Then, with Citi’s freedom and democracy, the gods were tied to Citi’s chariot.
But... although the spiritual energy recovery came violently, it still didn't last long enough.
The top brass needs more time!
Under such circumstances, the ideas of the senior management and the extraordinary people were surprisingly consistent.
That is, we must not allow the Dragon of Fantasy to resurrect, let alone allow his power to affect the real world.
