Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real
Chapter 568 Chapter 567 The lineup of various forces
Chapter 568: 567. Lineup of various forces (I)
If it were just two championship titles that did not involve interests, or only involved a small amount of interests, any force in the Douyi Galaxy, the Douyi Galaxy, or the Dousan Galaxy would be able to tolerate this matter.
Take the Soul Master Competition as an example.
From Dou One to Dou Two.
In this time span of ten thousand years.
The Soul Master Competition has been held thousands of times.
From the time when the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire were fighting each other, all the way to the merger of the Sun and Moon Continents, and then to the split of the Tiandou Empire into the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire, the Soul Master Competition remained the same.
Why has it lasted so long without any change?
Even leading to cultural erosion of the Sun-Moon Empire?
In the final analysis, it does not involve interests, but only reputation.
To put it bluntly, the status of soul masters is not high.
In the era when the Spirit Hall still existed.
The status of soul masters is quite high.
Can be called aristocrat.
It is no nonsense that you can be conferred a title above level 40, even though level 40 is only the lowest level of title, including duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron. Level 40 corresponds to baron, level 50 to viscount, level 60 to earl, level 70 to marquis, and level 80 to duke. When you reach level 90, you can sit on equal footing with an emperor. Take Dugu Bo as an example. He is the weakest among the Titled Douluo. When he saw Emperor Xue Ye, he just nodded and saluted. If he was unhappy, he would step on Prince Xue Xing’s face.
But in the Dou Er galaxy.
Including the Dou San galaxy.
Soul masters have been suppressed and enslaved by various forces without realizing it.
This is why Xu Tianran commented on the Soul Master Competition like he was watching a show in the original novel, and even called many of the contestants in the Soul Master Competition chess pieces.
If he is in Douyi.
Even if he is the crown prince of a country.
As long as he said this, he would die.
To put it mildly, this is frivolous and lacks dignity.
To put it more seriously, it means looking down on the world’s talented people.
Even if he was an emperor, after he said this, the people would lose their support, because such an emperor who disdains talents is bound to fail.
In short, in the Dou Er galaxy, the status of soul masters has declined significantly, and they have completely become tools of ambitious people, equivalent to high-level soldiers.
Just like the later part of the original work.
Huo Gua hid his identity and joined the army.
I found that there were many soul masters serving as soldiers in the army.
Placed in the Douyi galaxy.
This is simply unimaginable.
Do you know what the concept of soul masters is in the army of the Douyi galaxy?
A first-ring soul master.
Once you get in, you can become a team leader.
He is in charge of ten people.
The soul master of the second ring went in and started as a centurion.
A soul master with three rings would not even accept a thousand men.
Because as long as they reach level 40.
Obtain soul ring.
They will immediately get a title.
Even the lowest baron.
Even a general of a thousand men has to salute when he meets a baron, unless this general has a title. Otherwise, there is still a gap between nobles and commoners. Even if you have more than a thousand people under your command, you still have to kneel in front of nobles who control all kinds of social resources and high-level soul masters who hold power.
How could I possibly be a rookie?
That’s right.
I am talking about you.
Dai Luoli.
Even though times have changed, normally things should be developing for the better.
Look, the Sun-Moon Empire, what a powerful existence!
Is it safe to be neighbors with such a powerful being?
Why don’t you quickly increase your troops? What are you waiting for?
Waiting to die?
Improve the treatment of soul masters, let soul masters lead troops to fight against those soul masters on the opposite side, and make full use of the terrain. Although it is difficult for soul masters to defeat soul masters in positional warfare, soul masters themselves are not good at positional warfare. Soul masters who stick together are indeed invincible in positional warfare, but soul masters who stick together are also invincible in interspersed warfare and guerrilla warfare. Because of tactical mistakes, they deny the soul master system and even promote the soul master system. They plan to work hard on research in this area in the hope of defeating the Sun Moon Empire on the front battlefield. This proposal is purely the product of a head being pinched by a door!
If we use our strengths to attack the enemy’s weaknesses, we will have a good chance of winning.
If we use our weaknesses to attack the enemy’s strengths, our chances of defeat will be quite high.
Therefore, under the premise of losing the Spirit Hall, it is understandable that the status of soul masters would decline when the continent is in a peaceful period. Some far-sighted people could even foresee this, just like weapons being put into storage in prosperous times. However, in troubled times, when a war breaks out, the status of soul masters can only rise. It is absolutely impossible for it to continue to decline and depreciate.
Of course.
Impossibility is only relative.
Look, the many forces in the Dou Er Galaxy are like their heads have been hit by a door, but they still remain the same, maintaining the so-called balance.
“If you want to break this balance… you still have to link the interests of soul masters with the majority of people, that is, with the common people!”
“Just make them realize a logic.”
“Only a soul master can ensure his status and position.”
“And the logic is… if the common people want to live a better life, they need soul masters to fight for it. If the soul masters want to live a better life, they need to coerce the common people to put pressure on the nobles. In order to avoid being killed by public anger, the nobles can only give up part of their original interests to the soul masters. Soul masters can tie themselves to a part of the common people by dividing the interests. After the common people benefit from it, their lives will get better and better… and they will have the spare energy to train new soul masters.”
“Even if there is no Spirit Hall, the people who can survive will do their best to awaken the spirits of their children.”
“Because human desires are endless.”
“When they entered a well-off era.”
“They will desire great wealth and fame.”
“And when they become rich and powerful…they will aspire to be the best!”
“Then I will consider controlling power like a soul master.”
“Perhaps you have money and food.”
“But I have a gun!”
“The gene of violence is written into everyone’s genes.”
“It can only be suppressed, not erased.”
“So, how do we link soul masters with the interests of the vast majority of people?”
“The answer is naturally resources.”
“Because 99 percent of people in this world need to eat.”
“Big fish and meat are also good.”
“A simple meal is fine.”
“If you don’t eat, you will starve to death…except for a very small number of powerful soul masters.”
“So, when resources are plundered, the common people will be forced to be tied to the spirit masters, because the spirit masters who do not produce anything hold exactly the power they need… the power that can help them protect these resources. For this reason, they can even take out a portion of resources and give it to these spirit masters as a gift, just like the Wuhun Hall of the Douyi Galaxy… It’s just that the Wuhun Hall of the Douyi Galaxy transferred this contradiction to the nobles and the empire. They appeared as balancers. On the one hand, they borrowed the popularity of the people and the power of all spirit masters to require the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire to give the Wuhun Hall a sum of money every year as the basic salary for all spirit masters in the world. On the other hand, they balanced the empire and minimized the war between the two empires, so that many people could be killed. At the same time, they used the poor identity of the spirit masters to lure more people to gamble on the probability of drawing lots.” “Betting on the probability of giving birth to a child with the qualifications of a spirit master.”
“But it’s definitely not okay to just grab resources.”
“Because under the propaganda of these corrupt empires, including those corrupt forces, they will regard the person or force that plunders resources as an enemy. Although I never mind bearing the stigma, I don’t want to be casually labeled, especially when I have to pay an extra price without having to pay the loss.”
“So, what better excuse than a big game?”
“It’s just that doing this…will have a greater impact on the world!”
In the box.
Ye Qingcang, who was talking with Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, said this with emotion.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena just arrived.
I heard that he came back.
During this period, he was not idle, and the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was not idle either.
It’s not that Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena came to see him to report work progress to him, nor is it that Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena came to see him to discuss follow-up plans with him, but that Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena just wanted to come and take a look at his situation and make sure that the ally was correct.
She had suffered enough backstabbing in her life.
In case something goes wrong with the ally.
She can also take some relevant measures in time.
In short, after seeing that Ye Qingcang was fine, she felt relieved. Although she came here in a hurry, there was no need to leave in a hurry if she was fine. So, she sat down and chatted with Ye Qingcang, and asked him what he thought of the current situation.
Hearing Ye Qingcang’s sigh.
He also said helplessly, “You are really a person who only wants to create chaos in the world… But I have to admit that you are generous. At least you are trying to correct this path that has gone astray for thousands of years with your personal ability, and you have really achieved some results.”
“But right now, the storm hasn’t arrived yet.”
Take a look at the scenery outside the window.
Ye Qingcang took a sip of the juice in the glass.
Alcohol has its own deliciousness.
But the pleasure that sweet fruit juice brings to people at certain times is indeed unmatched by alcohol. It is a sense of happiness when you are sober.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena could naturally understand the metaphor that Ye Qingcang was talking about.
This metaphor is not denied.
After a moment’s silence, he asked, “Tell me, if this war begins, how many forces will be involved… I mean the well-known ones. There’s no need to talk about the small sects in your human world. Anyway, they will all be completely reshuffled…”
“I can’t say that.”
“I can only guess.”
“At most I’m just sharing my guess.”
“If you’d like to listen.”
Ye Qingcang waved his hand casually. Seeing that Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena didn’t mind this, his precaution was in vain. So, he continued, “I think this battle will be divided into three stages: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. In the early stage, the Dou Er Galaxy must be the most chaotic, because there are too many forces on the Dou Er Galaxy side. Just talking about the empire, there are four behemoths: the Xingluo Empire, the Tianhun Empire, the Douling Empire, and the Sun-Moon Empire. Moreover, Sea God Tang San will definitely not give up this base. Even if he loses his life, he will only fight here… In the middle stage, the Dou Yi Galaxy will also be involved. At the same time, the Dou San Galaxy will not be spared. In short, the Spirit Hall does not have to worry about the lack of evil soul masters in the world for them to wipe out. The Holy Spirit Cult, which has resurrected from the dead with the help of the Spirit Pagoda, is simply a living target… In the late stage, it will be a fight between gods.”
“A great brawl among the divine examiners?”
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena said with interest.
But it was just a casual remark.
He took a look at the situation outside, narrowed his eyes, and warned meaningfully: “A tall tree attracts the wind, you’d better be careful… Winning more championships does mean more resources, but if a war really breaks out, it’s natural that whoever is the richest will rob first… You can’t expect a group of hungry people to stay rational, right?”
“Yes.”
“You can spread rumors with your mouth, but you will lose your legs if you refute them.”
“When public opinion was stirred up, it didn’t matter whether I was guilty or not.”
“What’s important is that people all over the world need an excuse and channel to vent.”
“But you also overlooked one thing.”
“That means… I am from the Douyi Galaxy!”
“The more my enemies hate me, the more my own people love me.”
“Besides, I didn’t use any despicable means to defeat all my opponents and win the championship… My opponent is too useless, what does it have to do with me?”
“Besides, the emperors of these empires are only average, but they can’t be said to be unable to read… Moreover, even if they can’t understand, these empires have survived until today, and there are still people who can understand the pros and cons of this document. As for the emperors, they may be a little stupid in some aspects, but when it comes to resources that involve all the people of a country, they can still distinguish the importance of face and substance… At least they won’t give up.”
“It’s uncertain whether they will honor the agreement.”
“To put it bluntly, the agreement that was written at the beginning seemed to be an agreement, but in fact, it was just a piece of white paper that could be torn up at will… and the other meaning of this piece of white paper that seemed to be torn up at will was that it could be used as a reason and evidence for starting a war.”
“War has an incomparable advantage in shuffling the cards.”
“You can’t admit it.”
“Isn’t it?”
Ye Qingcang smiled and asked back.
Even the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena was so angry that she laughed.
Answer the rhetorical question with a rhetorical question: “So, you dug the hole at the beginning?”
“They jumped in on their own initiative.”
“Moreover.”
“Others may not have noticed it, but Mr. Mu must have noticed it.”
“Why don’t you guess why he didn’t say it?”
Ye Qingcang revealed some information with a smile.
This made the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena sigh.
The sigh was short-lived, though.
After sighing, he realized that he couldn’t avoid what he had to face: “The old fox and the young fox… we can only say that they have their own thoughts… but you’d better be careful, because even if it’s an old fox, it’s still a fox. Don’t be the mantis that catches the cicada while the oriole is behind.”
“Do not worry.”
“Speaking of which, how are your preparations going?”
“Have you got all the resources you should have?”
Ye Qingcang understood the concerns of Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.
A stay-at-home girl who can’t keep up with the times.
Mistakenly entered the high-end game.
Circle eyes are normal.
“The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire are already in my hands.”
“Xiaohuo and Xiaoshui are back too.”
“The Fire Dragon Clan and the Water Dragon Clan are beginning to revive.”
“need some time.”
“But before the war started, it wasn’t a problem.”
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena rarely gritted her teeth, her tone icy: “This Seagod Tang San really regarded the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire as his own. If I hadn’t gone there, I’m afraid it would be difficult to break the seal… You would never have thought that he actually set up a god-level barrier to seal off the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire and regarded them as his own!”
