from Xingyuan

Chapter 1039 255. Imperial Route: Leading to the Ending of [Spiritual Deer] (50)

The implementation of the work was more than twice as difficult as expected.

Whether it is Li Aoz or Fu Shen, in fact, they are essentially a group of warriors. If we only look at ideology, Fu Shen is an absolute conservative who is full of yearning for the past history and the imagined relationship between the monarch, his subjects, and his father and his son, while Li Aoz is a pure tyrant warlord.

The fact that they decided to unite and overthrow the Lai Anding regime is enough to show how bad Lai Anding's rule is.

But then again, doesn’t Laian Ding have any supporters?

No, where there are victims, there are bound to be beneficiaries.

As long as you take a quick look at the communication records between Leoz and Fu Shen at the first meeting of the Source Alliance, you will find that the two did not have any disagreements on Leanding's "From the Star Abyss" plan, and even tacitly avoided mentioning the negative impact of this plan.

The reason is simple. The plan of "From the Star Abyss" has certainly caused many deaths in the process of recruiting a large number of divine warriors and strengthening interference in the Star Abyss.

But what are the benefits?

Be it Li Aozi or Fu Shen, they all knew clearly that Yuanyuan itself was a barren universe, which was only suitable for the survival of the Xingyuan gods, and there was no soil that was truly suitable for civilization.

To put it bluntly, if Yuan Yuan no longer had the Five-Layer Star Abyss, it would be a question whether he could support such a large political team.

What's more, Li Aozi and Fu Shen were both military warriors, and they had never bothered to conceal their ambition and desire for territory.

"Made in Stars" is certainly an act of colonial control and garrison interference with bad intentions, but in this process, even the cannon fodder gods and slave gods received relatively equal and fair treatment for the first time.

For a cannon fodder god like Li Oz, this is simply a flood of wealth falling on his head.

For Fu Shen, who was a member of the traditional warrior class, being able to regain influence over Xing Yuan was simply the glory of the revival of the God Clan.

Therefore, Li Aozi and Fu Shen both tacitly avoided criticizing the "From Xingyuan" plan, and they even did not reject the issue of stationing troops in Xingyuan.

That’s right, Lai Anding’s original intention was bad. She wanted to regain the hegemony of Yuanyuan and turn the fifth layer of Star Abyss into her own back garden and colony.

But fortunately, Li Aozi and Fu Shen are not good people either.

In other words, in today's era of grand narratives competing with each other, there is no distinction between good and evil.

Civilians are nothing but cells, the military is nothing but teeth, territory and resources are bones and flesh, and even leaders and political parties have become brains and minds.

In cosmic war, no one can stay out of the grand narrative.

In the struggle between narrative civilization and the [social] herd of beasts, both sides are becoming more and more like each other.

There is nothing sad about this. Reality is always a cold blade that will kill all the weak, unlucky and losers who are content with the status quo.

Losers all have their own flaws and characteristics, but winners are all excellent and perfect.

What Li Aozi and Fu Shen actually finalized at the meeting was Yuanyuan's future narrative.

As gods, they cannot have the same narrative as other mortals, where they just need an excuse to unite the people.

Because they once ruled the six-layer star abyss and the outer star abyss universe. During their most glorious period, even the Earth's universe bordered the outer star abyss.

At the same time, in order to consolidate his influence, Yuanyuan had already shared the path to becoming a god. This led to the fact that Xingyuan civilization, even if it was a narrative civilization, would ultimately choose the more stable and orthodox path of the Yuanyuan gods no matter how they developed.

This provides the gods with a supra-national civilizational identity.

In the imagination of Li Aozi and Fu Shen, the Yuanyuan gods should only be the main ethnic group of Yuanyuan, and the narrative civilization of Yuanyuan should be a more universal concept than the empire.

The advantage of Yuanyuan can be said to be that it is a real heavenly society. Being at the bottom of Yuanyuan, any god can actually exert his most powerful power and have the best level of social development in Yuanyuan. However, Yuanyuan itself cannot produce, nor does it need to produce any processed products. They have the highest spiritual enjoyment and the most advanced path.

In this way, the new Yuanyuan narrative can attract more people who have ascended to gods after birth to join Yuanyuan, and attract the elite gods cultivated by these various narrative civilizations to join the Yuanyuan god lineage.

During this process, Yuanyuan can continuously expand its strength and iterate its political talents by relying solely on natural endowments (Yuanyuan blessings) and cultural attraction without any production activities or commodity exchanges.

that's enough.

To be honest, if Yuanyuan chooses to start a civil war, no Xingyuan will be able to defeat the Yuanyuan Protoss head-on. Apart from anything else, the Protoss has the basic strength and billions of veterans of the war outside the Yuanyuan.

If Lai Anding planned to invade other star abysses and fight from the bottom up, it would be no different from going south from the north.

But Lai Anding didn't dare to fight.

Li Aozi and Fu Shen knew very well what Lai Anding was thinking, and they also understood why Lai Anding did not dare to unify Xingyuan by force.

First, Lai Anding is not a person who can lead troops. Not only has he never received war education, but he has also never participated in any military operations. Once Lai Anding starts a war, his power will be instantly undermined by a large number of military faction generals, and even a large number of divine warriors.

Secondly, the conquered land needs to be governed by garrisons. Only with garrisons, it is equivalent to directly delegating power to the divine warriors, and then a bunch of low-profile Leoz will appear.

Therefore, Yuanyuan has to settle down on the border to prevent more Lords Leoz from coming out to usurp power and establish their own regimes. But unfortunately, Leanding has now lost the ability to give birth to creatures, and the only one under him who possesses this power... is Rand Lord.

Third, after unifying Xingyuan, the [social] cluster headed by the [secret society] will also stick together.

Leanding can satisfy the needs of the [social] side through appeasement. The loose Xingyuan narratives, facing small-scale [social] invasions, will fight for themselves and will not waste the resources of the Source.

But the massive [social] coalition was unable to stop Leoz, who had fought his way to the position of agent. Leanding himself knew that as the main god in charge of fertility, medical care and logistics in the rear, how could he be qualified to fight against Gaia?

He can't do it.

Therefore, Leanding wrote such a system and created the "From the Star Abyss" plan, which would not anger Gaia while staying out of it and gradually strengthening control over the Star Abyss.

It can be said that Lai Anding really put a lot of effort into consolidating his regime.

Faced with such a situation, even revolutionaries from the Yuantongzhen such as Li Aozi and Fu Shen could not help but sigh.

"Laian Ding is engaging in political scheming, which is really first-rate in Xingyuan."

Eleven could not help but say:
"If He had left us a way to survive, we would not have rebelled."
